You one day wake up and were given the ability to go back and talk to your young self. What advice would you give to them, or say to them?

Do you use OBS, Streamlabs, etc? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

I remember there being a vegetarian/vegan thread, but I just wanna know what kind of dietary restrictions people keep in general here. I'm trying to lower the amount of gluten I eat currently, because I was told it would help some of my health problems. I've also been told to cut out any non-organic dairy (luckily, my dad already prefers to buy organic as much as possible when it comes to food, but it does mean I have to cut down on cheese sometimes since we can't always get organic cheese).

What do you say when people tell you it's fake? Do you dislike when people say this?

I honestly don't care anymore what people say. It's whatever to me.

Anyone a fan of the Jelly Belly brand?

Tax season is going on, so what will you do with your taxes? I plan to just possibly save some of it back for a rainy day or so. I may also get stuff I want and/or need with it, but am unsure...

Do you think spending your tax money on stuff you want but not need such as video games, etc is not a good idea?

What are your unpopular opinions about ANYTHING? Post those here.

I'll start...and some may ruffle feathers.

- I don't understand why people choose to stay in abusive relationships.

Mexican food is something I don't make too often but when I do, it is loved in my house and my eldest absolutely loves it. He would eat Mexican food daily if he could but I don't allow that as he would soon tire of it.

When it comes to Mexican food I like to eat things like fajitas and burritos as long as they are not too spicy. I prefer to have them mild and be able to enjoy the flavor.

Are you a fan of Mexican food? What is your favorite?

What are some health issues you are dealing with? How do you manage? Is it day by day or something else?

Streaming from console to Twitch has been possible for a while now and it is how many people are getting into streaming in the first place. I remember I got into streaming myself by going live through my Xbox to Mixer when that was around and now they have the ability on Xbox to be able to easily go live to Twitch if you wish to. I know this is also a feature on PlayStation as well.

Do you stream from your console? How do you find you get on when streaming from the console? Many people worry when streaming from the console that they will not get much interest as they don't have alerts or anything else but in reality, you just need to be yourself.

I have a massive fascination with the history of Alcatraz. Anyone else interested in it?

Do you guys always need to have the latest phone? I am fine with the phone I have, and do not plan to get a new one any time soon.

What about you?

When it comes to streaming, it is nice to have a bot that pops up in your chat with messages telling your viewers about certain things such as perks if they sub to you or maybe your schedule or even to play in chat games. There are so many bots out there to choose from and everyone has their own preference when it comes to a bot they like to use when streaming. Off the top of my head I can think of a few that I have either used in the past or I know about, they are

Nightbot
Streamlabs
StreamElements
Botisimo
FireBot
MixItUp Bot
ScorpBot

I myself moved from using ScorpBot to using MixItUp bot which is a very good bot with so many different features. I found that I was able to do so much with Mix It Up bot that after a while, I couldn't be without that bot.

What bot do you use when it comes to streaming?

Have you ever lost anyone close to you before? Who was it? I have lost a friend and even an uncle. My uncle had colon cancer, and lost his battle with it. My friend apparently died from alcohol poisoning. It all just was so crazy, and happened Christmas Eve.

Lightstream is something that was released back when Mixer was around and accessible through the Xbox to be able to stream with ease. It was available to those who had Mixer Pro which was a monthly paid subscription to Mixer for extra perks and Lightstream was included in that.

Now with Mixer gone, Lightstream is still around and now you can use it for console streaming to Twitch and so much more as well.
I have used Lightstream myself a few times when I streamed from my Xbox.

Using Lightstream gives me the ability to be able to have overlays and alerts on my stream without needing a high-end PC to be able to do all that.

Have you ever used or looked into Lightstream?

Have you ever attempted a vegetarian/vegan diet? Did you stick with it?
Are you a vegan or vegetarian currently?

Twitch is one of the biggest and most well-known streaming platforms out there with thousands up on thousands of people streaming to the platform daily. One thing many people have noticed with Twitch though, especially if you are a smaller streamer is the chance to be discovered on the platform. Whilst it is possible, many find they get noticed more when they promote themselves off the platform rather than relying on Twitch and its discoverability.

What are your thoughts on Twitch and its discoverability?
