YouTube Party is OVER - Prepare to Twitch!
Added 2020-04-03 09:15:56 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
After several frustrating days and multiple Truly Dumb(tm) interactions with YouTube support, I've decided to throw in the towel. YouTube Studio is so broken that it won't schedule an upcoming live stream properly. Kinda looks like this...
See the date mismatch? Yeah, well that's what makes it impossible for me to know what time I'm actually scheduling for - and what time zone is that? Why are the dates different? Why can't YouTube Support see that this is a problem we can't fix by "rebooting, updating to the latest Chrome, and trying a different encoder." FFS, YouTube!
And, no, I can't test/edit the time/date after the fact because that interface in YouTube Studio Live Room looks like this:
Note the lack of "cancel" and "confirm" buttons at the bottom of that UI panel. Yeah.
ANYWAY...
Tomorrow's YouTube Live Stream is CANCELED.
I am moving to Twitch!
Here's the new home: https://www.twitch.tv/americanmcgee
Am I supposed to ask you to follow me over there? Subscribe? Hit Like? SMASH A FRIKKEN BUTTON!?!? I have no idea! Just DO THE THING!
And please allow me a few more days to finish getting everything set up over there.
I had hoped to get it done today but Yan's mom went back to their hometown after many months stuck in Shanghai. And I am at home alone taking care of Lucky... Need more time!
In Closing
YouTube sucks.
We're moving to twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/americanmcgee
Do THE THING.
I'll announce a time/date for a Twitch stream soon.
Lucky says "thptptptpptpt" (I taught him how to do that. Yay!)
PS: Enjoy a beautiful wallpaper (top image) from Dario. For Hatter's Domain. Here are his social media accounts if you'd like to follow him and check out his other work:

2020-04-07 17:52:21 +0000 UTCWhen can we get a live feed of you on twitch?
2020-04-07 14:51:32 +0000 UTCI was confused as well, but American mentions in the post that he needs time to set up his Twitch account. So it'll be slightly delayed and he'll announce a new time for the Twitch stream.

2020-04-05 15:19:31 +0000 UTCIs the stream at the same time? Did I miss it? Their notification system barely works.

2020-04-05 12:22:26 +0000 UTCWait, so is this a permanent move? The reason I ask is, I've been a monthly subscriber to your youtube account for 1 year and 4 months.

2020-04-03 16:29:19 +0000 UTCCertainly, Dario is creating wonderfull pieces of art!👍 About Twitch ... If you think YouTube is bad... Brace yourself! Hope BEST of lucks to you. I myself won't be even touching It.
2020-04-03 15:09:52 +0000 UTCAmazing. I am sure this will boost the news about the new game. Sadly twitchers are kinda louder. More text, voice subs and such. I hope it goes well. I'll relay the news and the link to some other webpages.

2020-04-03 14:53:47 +0000 UTCSorry to hear that YouTube finally let you down for good. We'll support you wherever you are and you can still upload the videos to YouTube and use the channel as an archive. Looking forward to seeing you and Martin again!!
2020-04-03 14:27:34 +0000 UTCWelcome to the twitch family. I have not had any major issue with twitch myself and I have been with them for many years. I have already followed you, and I look forward to when you will go live!

2020-04-03 13:50:50 +0000 UTCI'm just so happy to see broadcast :) Funny I just fixed up my twitch account a month ago, hardly ever used it. Now I will!! :)
Teella
2020-04-03 12:54:50 +0000 UTCSo happy to see you on Twitch. I hang out there a ton. Hit me up if you want to ask random questions about the platform (although I suspect you know your way around it already).

2020-04-03 11:19:00 +0000 UTCBtw you can't get superchats on twitch until you become a partner on there

2020-04-03 10:33:25 +0000 UTCI can totally sympathize with that frustration, having similar experiences. And that art is gorgeous!
