So.
Almost predictably, I’ve been attempting to test the stream for about 3 hours now.
I’ve done all manner of restarts to programs, modem, and computer; I’ve updated the computer and the program. I downloaded an alternative program and got the same results. I did a speed test and have a very fast upload speed. I’ve logged out and into Twitch through the program and outside the program several times. I’ve gone through Twitch settings to find any issues or unticked boxes. I’ve changed the ingest server to locations near and far. I’ve looked at answers given for the error code in multiple locations. I performed a blood sacrifice.
For whatever reason, God has decreed that I can not stream.
@ThomasF Maybe next week.
@ThomasF That stinks.
I was just popping in to say I’d be late as I can’t leave my front yard half-weedeaten. But if the streaming gods are against you then I may even get the back yard done too.
@ThomasF just logged on since I forgot that I would actually be able to participate.
/giphy sad face
@ThomasF guess I didn’t miss out. So yay?
@RiotDemon @ThomasF me too!
@llangley @RiotDemon @ThomasF aww…maybe next time.
Pretty much any day after 8pm EST.
The answer is 42
@Brasssong Wrong answer!
Thinking Sunday…
@ThomasF Sunday night worked pretty well, didn’t it?
@sammydog01 @ThomasF Sunday was never my favorite because if I can see my brother, then it would usually be on Sundays.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 Saturday night could also be an option.
@ThomasF Sunday is the day I rarely remember (anymore) to click a face and thereby lose all rights to a calendar another week…
Alright, here’s the options:
Saturday 6/8 at 7:30 PM CST
Sunday 6/9 at 7:30 PM CST
@ThomasF Let me check my social calendar… both work for me this week.
Alright, something came up for Saturday night, so I gotta do Sunday.
@ThomasF Apologies, @riotdemon, but you could always make your sibling play.
Sunday, SUNday, SUNDAY!!! Ticket price covers the whole seat BUT YOU’LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!!!
I may not have wifi on weekends. Can I run this on my phone’s hotspot? Other than that what @RiotDemon says.
@sammydog01 if you have a decent phone connection I don’t see why using the hotspot wouldn’t work.
@sammydog01 the twitch stream is streaming video, but it’s not super hi def so it shouldn’t kill your data plan.
Sunday night was a pretty good time. That said, whenever it is, I’ll try to be there.
Someone hacked my Twitch account. I cancelled it.
@kdemo Get a new one!
@sammydog01 - I will take it under advisement.
If I’m off the road by then I’ll try it. Looks like those You Don’t Know Jack games? Is there a limit to # of players? When will we get the code? Does the winner get anything besides mad respect? I saw some links on an earlier thread…Just haven’t been sufficiently motivated to check them out yet…so, Cliff notes, please. I’d be accessing from my phone, no TWITCH account here…
Maybe we’ll find the Meh counterpart for Jeopardy James…unless there already is one…? @djslack perhaps??
@llangley I think some of the games have a max of eight players. It usually is never that full. Depending on the game, you can still play as an audience.
No one gets anything when you win except bragging rights. It’s a fun way to kill time.
The games have explanations at the beginning that @ThomasF will usually let play when there’s people that haven’t played before so we are all on the same page.
I recommend using two devices. I use a laptop to play the video screen and to use the chat, and my phone to actually connect to play the game. You can open two separate windows on a computer to play. Technically you can play just on your phone but you can’t see the video screen usually so you miss half the fun.
@llangley I’m no Jeopardy James, but a few of the games are mostly based on smartassedness so sometimes I get a good run.
Watching the stream and doing the game on the phone might be tricky. I don’t remember if the player interface prompts you enough to play with it alone (like if you see the questions and answers or just the answers). Some games I know you can play without the stream though.
@djslack @llangley
/giphy smartassedness trophy
@djslack @therealjrn thanks. Not sure if I can do 2 devices but we’ll see what the motivation level is at 830EDT
. Oh shit, some American trophy might be headed to Canada tonight (I still hurt from 92 World Series) so that might interfere?
