Ffff, his stream has nearly killed my computer twice now. I think that's a sign not to attempt to watch anything of his unless from a different machine. :(
 
Someone needs to explain a few things to GK about being a streamer...

- Play what your audience suggests. GK has a super small "fanbase" at this point so if he actually wants to pick up more viewers then he needs to cater to his audience. Watching him suck at Rocksmith wasn't fun.

- Better streaming hours. You'd think since he has no job or responsibilities he could be a bit more flexible with when he streams. Why is London time important to him?

- Pay attention to chat. Answer more questions. When talking to people on chat repeat a person's username and their question before answering it. Hell, just repeat the person's question. It gets people invested when they know the streamer actually pays attention to the people watching and what they're saying.

- Don't sniff your armpits.

Because he's a knight and The English are totally on top of that knighting shit. /GKLogic

Obamatron: An idea: If the music is important to you, then set things up so it isn't transmitted to youtube. You can enjoy it and keep the stream up.
The Golden Knight: I could do that through Livestream, but as we have observed, that is a *HUGE* CPU hog, with unbearable lag. Twitch is only for games, and Join.me has a similar lag problem. This lag "should" be fixed with a new computer, but we all know how *that* is going. ;p
Obamatron: You could try to optimize your current rig. Close down any unnecessary programs and whatnot.
The Golden Knight: You mean like my web browser that I use for chat as well as looking up chat questions, Skype so nobody else can talk to me, and even the programs that I am featuring my work through? I'm afraid my old rig just can't handle it.
Obamatron: How many services are running? How many tabs are open? I'm talking about squeezing every drop of performance out of it.
The Golden Knight: I have 12 tabs open, most of them loaded. It's not a burden of RAM, it's a burden of CPU, and I could prove through Task Manager that they're not eating up the processor. Lag happens only when I stream, and it's quite bad.
Obamatron: Fire perfmon.exe, find the bottleneck.
The Golden Knight: It's going to take more than a few drops of performance to make things silky smooth.
The Golden Knight: If you ask me, it's going to take a next-gen computer beast!
Obamatron: What CPU are you running?
The Golden Knight: Intel Quad-Core Q8200 @2.33GHz
The Golden Knight: Its BIOS dates to 2008.
The Golden Knight: That says my system is old; human equivalent of (I'd guestimate) 50
Obamatron: You could always flash the BIOS to a newer version.
The Golden Knight: Yeah, but the BIOS is only a testament as evidence to my machine's age.
The Golden Knight: It is a hardware limitation, not a software one.
Obamatron: I'd reccommend running perfmon to find what program is causing the bottleneck.
The Golden Knight: The evidence is apparent: the choking only happens when I am streaming; never, ever, any other time.
The Golden Knight: I don't need anything beyond conventional admin tools and observation to prove it.
Obamatron: But which program and why? Maybe you have to use a lower framerate.
The Golden Knight: Lower than 30? I may have to end up in single digits, and in a few games, I do.
Obamatron: Your rig obviously works on some sites.
The Golden Knight: Guild Wars 2, Sins of a Solar Empire (when at a hundred planets), and anything using PhysX chug.
The Golden Knight: I reckon some sites (like Twitch-XSplit allegience) handles most of the burden.
The Golden Knight: Livestream, however, puts it *all* on my computer.
The Golden Knight: If it worked where the server manages the processing of the stream, then ideally, my CPU can be free to draw and play. But alas, this is not normally the case...It's fine in Twitch, as I said.
The Golden Knight: But this means I *need* to focus on games.
Obamatron: For now...
Obamatron: When can you get a new rig up and running?
The Golden Knight: Depends on how soon I can fork up another 2k American dollars.
Obamatron: You got an income stream?
The Golden Knight: I wish!
Obamatron: heh
The Golden Knight: If you're talking about the equivalent of a telethon, that is not an approach I even considered.
Obamatron: Aint it a bitch?
Obamatron: No money I mean.
Obamatron: Telethon might be cool.
The Golden Knight: Other than that, though, I just need to keep streaming games for Partnership. Outside of that, I have no jobs lined up right now.
The Golden Knight: So basically, it's stagnant.
Obamatron: You gotta get creative to draw in the fans.
Obamatron: Start a twitter to keep people notified.
Obamatron: Expand beyond deviantart.
The Golden Knight: I have Twitter and Facebook, but I don't take them seriously.
The Golden Knight: And there's reason for it. The "people" I know there don't do me any noticable favors, effort or no.
Obamatron: They're just vehicles to fame and followers.
The Golden Knight: When nobody follows me there, I fail to see how that's a vehicle...And I am also not a fan of bandwagons.
Obamatron: Well, that's the thing.
Obamatron: You need to work ongetting followers.
The Golden Knight: And the best way to do that is to put on awesome performances. That's what Twitch is going to be for.
The Golden Knight: I mean, with the first stream at 50, and if I could do bigger and better things to keep getting more people in, that number should only grow continuously.
Obamatron: Right
The Golden Knight: And I have a few chances for experimenting I have planned on coming up this week.
Obamatron: Looking forward to it.
The Golden Knight: I'm still learning what's best and how to do it. So, thanks for enduring my problems as they arise.
Obamatron: I'd reccommend some multiplayer stuff. Get the fans engaged.
The Golden Knight: I'd love to!
The Golden Knight: The thing is, I could try and try more than I already did, but when there are technical barriers blocking all of us from connecting, that's only going to cause frustration.
The Golden Knight: For multiplayer-dependent games like The Ship or Cheatscreen, if nobody's on, then there won't be any playing.
Obamatron: You need to do a test run next time. The day before the show.
The Golden Knight: Terraria and Minecraft also both provide numerous headaches.
Obamatron: Like what?
The Golden Knight: Well, last week, I tried opening up to
The Golden Knight: Terraria multiplayer.
The Golden Knight: There was talk about Hamachi, and with research, even that is iffy at best.
The Golden Knight: And at that time, nobody was able to join me even though I explicitly clicked "multiplayer".
Obamatron: You were hosting?
The Golden Knight: Yes.
Obamatron: Let me host next time. Less resource usage on your end.
The Golden Knight: I had a friend play not too long before where I had to be the host, and it worked for both of us.
The Golden Knight: All right.
Obamatron: Hit up my minecraft.
The Golden Knight: If you know how to host better than myself, just tell me (and any applicable audience members) the information, and let's make it work!
The Golden Knight: And if you mean like, *now*, sure, I'll pull up Minecraft.
The Golden Knight: Except it's dinner time.
The Golden Knight: I'm sorry, but please excuse me for about half an hour. OK?
Obamatron: ok
The Golden Knight is now Away.
Obamatron: mc.obamatron.org is my server for when you get back :)
The Golden Knight is now Offline.
The Golden Knight is currently offline, they will receive your message the next time they log in.
The Golden Knight is now Online.
The Golden Knight: All right, I have returned.
The Golden Knight: I did not sleep well so I do want to go to bed and shower soon, but I will try connecting, if nothing else.
Obamatron: ok
The Golden Knight: Launching vanilla 1.7.10 game
Obamatron: you need to set your client to 1.7.9, sorry
The Golden Knight: Oh...OK.
The Golden Knight: Just give me a minute to reset the launchpad.
Obamatron: k
The Golden Knight: Yeah, it's vital I know all the tech specs so things can run as smoothly as possible. I'm a geek, that's how I roll! 8-)
Obamatron: word
The Golden Knight: It's taking its time downloading.
Obamatron: yeah
The Golden Knight: Just hang on. I'm going as fast as my computer will allow me.
The Golden Knight: Server name and address?
Obamatron: mc.obamatron.org
Obamatron: no server name needed
The Golden Knight: Server Resource Packs?
Obamatron: prompt
The Golden Knight: OK. I can't hit Done without a name, so I'm just saying Obamatron
Obamatron: k
The Golden Knight: "Press 1 for autistic gamers."
Obamatron: its a joke from somewhere else
Obamatron: i need to change it
The Golden Knight: Yeah.
The Golden Knight: "The bad place". I like how the "Kiwi Farm" equald The Nether.
 
The Golden Knight: Yeah, it's vital I know all the tech specs so things can run as smoothly as possible. I'm a geek, that's how I roll! 8-)

He fucking says that...while running an INTEL CORE 2 QUAD?!

Motherfuck, he's truly an idiot if he thinks he can run shit on that, a processor not even made anymore. Core i3's are the minimum these days, and my current main rig is a stock I got through my college's laptop program. About $1500 but it's got about 500 GB memory and a Core i7 vPro that can grind Warframe no problem, it's lasted me a LONG time and shows no sign of being obsolete soon. And this past summer, my sister got a computer with an AMD A-something quad that's about the equivalent to a Core i5 standard and a touchscreen loaded with a fixed Win 8 for under a grand.

I mean, I actually have a tower salvaged from about that time period that I'm still evaluating if it's even worth trying to salvage parts from...HD and disc drive is okay but I'm probably going to need to scrap the motherboard and processor as it takes 5 minutes to get through BIOS. Optimal running to the point it doesn't take a zillion years just to get on the internet is hopeless on its Pentium Processor, which isn't that far from a Core i2. But GK thinks he can make his system fly for modern systems on that outdated PoS? How the hell did he even have a job working for computer repairs?!

What a fucking moron. Anything loaded is a burden on RAM. I could make his rig fly and I don't even have any fancy pants A+ certifications either.
How much RAM does he even have?

Edit: I forgot to mention how I love how he sought you out for help and then dismissed everything you had to say that could help him.

I'm starting to see in action why this motherfucker sucked at his last job. His ego is just that bad. He'd rather spend all his energy explaining why something can't be done than even attempting a different method of doing things. I don't think it even has anything to do with resistance to change but rather the resistance to accept he might be wrong.
 
Yeah, no wonder fixing 8 computers a day was such an "unreasonable demand" for him. I'm guessing that he (or his family more like) is wealthy enough so that Goldie here can just quit his job because he doesn't feel like it. Not many people have that luxury.

I heard they do that to hunger striking inmates at G-Bay. Not sure how best to approach such a problem with Goldie though.
 
It's amazing.

Missed the stream. Did we get anything good out of this? Or was it all horrifying like the arm pit gif?

It was a bit of a SNAFU. Goldie had numerous technical difficulties and switched between Twitch, Livestream and Youtube in an attempt to get things happening. His software was also constantly conking out on him. Needless to say this resulted in a streaming experience equivalent to having teeth pulled.

He spent a great deal of time playing guitar with all of the aplomb of a schizophrenic on acid.

We asked him a load of questions but he would unceasingly bail on the tough ones, claiming that the answers were not for public consumption. We did learn a few things, however. He would gladly execute people if they were "bad" and the exigencies of the legal system didn't prevent him. He has a startling memory loss when it comes to his childhood. He opined that he "couldn't remember" much of his childhood except for a couple of dreams. We learned that the family unit is intact under the one roof. We further learned that the enigmatic "Dot" was a piggybank, or at least was prior to being destroyed by his brother. His father loves cars just as much as his brother. His mother is a central part of his life; his father is on the periphery and his brother is a distant moon in the orbit that is Jay's life. He recalled with orgasmic pleasure his mulleted "glory days" in high school ~ having his name chanted, followers expressing admiration, a veritable fest of bonhomie all round...strangely, this perception all seemed to hinge on a single event: a race through an obstacle course. He lost. Why? Because he didn't realize that you had to cross the finish line before you started to celebrate epic victory. The stream is up, saved by Obamatron, so watch it at your peril. I would recommend against it however, as it was a bit of a bust.

EDIT: The Golden Shower has the attention span of a speed freak.

Have you ever had a tech problem and you call the company and they put your call on transfer over to some foreign country? That is how GK had a job working computer repairs.
 
Man I realized I know shit about computers. I can do stuff on them and offer prayers to the machine spirit to hope to make it run. But even I know a 2008 computer just doesn't have the power he wants it too.


Uhh so whats this preform.exe obamatron mentioned? Is it a download and what does it do? (Man I suck at techy stuff)

Thanks for the info @Ryker. How were the attendance for the streams? If they were less people did he care?
Click to expand...

In the part I watched he did keep referring to the amount of likes and dislikes he had on youtube. Didn't see if he mentioned the attendance itself but I can only watch so much of a TGK recording without punching my monitor.
 
I don't think attendance was ever over 20 people. It may have peaked at 25, but people just left because it was so bad. I think he realized it too. All the problems made him want to (:_(. The guitar bit was probably the epic fail moment of the whole stream. Watching the stream again, he almost has the same look as Chris when he tried to do a pullup.

Perfmon is like a step above task manager. I was trying to help him find where the bottleneck was, since he won't be getting a new computer anytime soon. I don't think he grasps the concept of planning ahead.
