Live for Tail Tuesday. It's the next episode of the #Higrashi #WhenTheyCry #VisualNovel, read to you by a british catgirl :3 Ch2 - 10 and I think Oyashiro-sama is pissed off altstream.online/LumKitty twitch.tv/LumKitty #VTuber #ENVTuber #VTuberEN #Streamer #SmallStreamer

The modern .Net lifecycle is an abomination. .Net 8 & 9 are now EOL and to compile 10+ requires upgrading to VS2026 which is absolutely riddled with AI. Fuck it, I'm sticking to .net framework 4.x which is never going away!

FoxedItUp 0.2.8-alpha is out for brave testers who need to integrate @mixitupbot.bsky.social with @altstream.online - Updated altstreamlib to resolve connection issues - Added a lot more MIU special identifiers - Added subs/tips notifications - Can detect moderators Pls read the docs before use!

BEGGING my fellow streamers to PLEASE stop using Tangia! I don't care if it makes for funny clips. Most voices on Tangia come from people who've very publicly said they don't want their voice taken from them this way. AI voices hurt ALL voice actors. You're better than this. Use other TTS.

Every Twitch announcement for the entirety of 2026... (AltStream and Joystick aren't doing AI garbage, and also won't ban you because your VTuber has hips)

OpenAI and Twitch are teaming up to see what developers can build for the Twitch community with AI. The top five will be featured at Twitchcon.

Please stop using FoxedItUp until further notice. Something has changed, causing it to spam reconnect attempts, which then hits AltStream's new rate limiter and gets your IP banned for 1 hour. This is not good for anyone involved! New version will be available once I figure out WTF is going on!

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

Somebody viewbotted me last night. Just want to get it out there that this was not my doing, I was buried deep in coding a Beat Saber mod at the time. If this was somebody trying to be helpful, while I appreciate the thought, please can I ask that you not do this. I'd rather my numbers be genuine.

Last night's release had an absolute clanger in it. Even though I gave you the ability to set your own channel name. The init code then ignored it and used my hardcoded channel name. This is now fixed I will have to add a cone of shame to my model for the next dev stream

Initial alpha of FoxedItUp is now available for brave people to test. Keyword: "alpha". This gives partial support for using MixItUp with @altstream.online. Currently working are Channel Points, !commands and *maybe* incoming raid alerts github.com/LumKitty/Fox...

I think that went pretty well, but I would definitely appreciate feedback on this as a way of streaming VR games instead of headset streams. One thing is for certain, going back to using LIV for this game after getting used to OnAirTap was /painful/. God I miss being able to do foreground BoneClip

We might not be able to get you a whole dollar in sponsor funds. But we can promise we're never scraping your streams.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg

Twitch Sponsorship AI "Campaign Assist" is now fully implemented and will warn you in the Activity Feed if you mention things like Explicit Language, Alcohol, Drugs, politics, and other issues when doing Twitch's low-paying sponsorships.

My social media feeds have been remarkably free of pro-ReformUK (basically British MAGA) posts this last couple of days. Are their supporters ok? Did something happen to them? In unrelated news, Ukraine bombed a bunch of Russian datacentres a few days ago. /s

Absolute fucking comedy that Google's "find my Android" service now wants you to 2FA if you sign in from another phone Yeah let me just 2FA on ~the device I can't find~ great idea! Google... Both Kafkaesque and Kefkaesque these days it seems

Thoughts on altstream. It's good to see a Twitch alternative, but the 5k bitrate limit is... not great, especially for a 1200p ultrawide streamer like me. It'll be fine for visual novels and coding streams, but looks really bad for FFXIV. I can drop to 30fps there and it's tolerable, I guess

But I still want to see it succeed, we certainly need a Twitch alternative that isn't full of GenAI, crypto and/or fash. I just hope that as it grows they relax these restrictions a bit, and/or support something like AV1

It sadly looks like my Linux migration is on hold due to nVidia/OBS issues. On Windows I can run H265, H264 and a recording simultaneously and still get good FPS in FFXIV On Linux just a single H265 stream gets "encoder overloaded" errors whenever FFXIV gets busy, and worse FPS, no idea why

Made a thread in r/obs and it looks like people read it, even picked up upvotes, presumably for a good description and including logs, but zero responses. My next GPU in a few years is likely to be AMD, maybe we try then Sad times, now I have to deal with "upgrading" from 23H2, it's EOL next month

It mostly just comes down to nVidia's linux support being actual dogshit, possibly some sort of GPU scheduling issue too, but I couldn't figure out how to sort that. Same issue with VR tbh. Valve only care about making it work on AMD I'm not gonna buy a new AMD GPU in the current AI hell though

This is clickbaity and piss-poor reporting. RPS were always a publication I respected, but now I'm rethinking that. Discord didn't get hacked. Some random third-party bot got hacked. Discord have certainly had privacy woes but this is nothing to do with them, beyond the bot being used on Discord

Wondering what sort of license I should put on my software? GPL would be the typical choice but I don't want people to commercially sell my stuff I mainly just want credit for my work, though NGL in the unlikely event it gets used by some huge corpo, I certainly wouldn't mind getting paid :D

This years vaccine has been a rough one, but it's still gonna be better han getting and spreading COVID. Going to try for r this sleep thing and maybe I can do Higurashi tomorrow. We'll see

Yep, no Higurashi today. Might do it tomorrow instead since chances are I won't be well enough for dancing tomorrow

Had a covid jab today. It is kicking my arse now. I may or may not stream Higurashi tomorrow, no idea yet. Same for Wednesday Beat Saber

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

I made a new #VNyan plugin, still an early version. It allows you to disable the main camera, so you can use a secondary Spout2 Camera as your only source in OBS. This saves GPU and allows the VNyan UI to be freely resized. It also provides nodes to toggle Spout2 cameras lum.uk/AdvCam #VTuberTech

Future versions will allow controlling more camera options not currently exposed by VNyan, as well as node-graph interfaces to options that are currently GUI-only, but this sorts out the main use case for now! Obviously it's an alpha and doing this may have unintended consequences. Try it and LMK!

It's also worth noting that Spout2 cameras disabled by this plugin keep their senders enabled, but blank. This can be useful e.g. to stop OBS from randomly picking another Spout2 sender on your system It may also help with Spout2PW stability since it doesn't have to deal with them disappearing!

Mole is seriously one of the best horror game experiences I've had in a long time. Absolutely incredible game. Can't recommend it highly enough, and I can't say why without spoiling it. Who knew that being crew on a 1980s soviet deep-earth drilling machine thousands of km down would go wrong? :3

So sadly Nirvalis Nights wasn't a game for me, and we had just a few tech issues and control issues with Nier Automata. I've got the mods for Nier working now, so should go a lot more smoothly next time! OBS lagging when recording over NFS is annoying though

My #Peak achievement run was successful! About the only thing left to do to push myself further in this game would be solo Ascent 8. Maybe I try that one day :3
