How to Tell if Someone is Viewbotting (and other malicious things)

There's an aspect of livestreaming video games that gets under my skin a bit. Viewbotting. A lot of streamers have done it in the past. In fact, I once caught someone viewbotting and looked at who the bots were "following." A laundry list of very familiar names showed up, many partnered accounts on Twitch with millions of followers. Well-known streamers making a living. It's definitely abused a lot on streaming platforms, sort of the "black hat" method of livestreaming. Thankfully, nobody I saw listed from those bot accounts was any streamer that I was supporting. I don't bother supporting anyone trying to find "get partnership quick" methods. If you want to build a business out of streaming video games , then please don't bother viewbotting. You'll eventually find you wasted your money and your community will likely abandon you.

Here they are: 3 Methods to Motivate Yourself Streaming A Quick Guide to Getting Back on the Twitch Track So, as before, these are 3 methods or ways for those of us that are trying to push the envelope when it comes to streaming—not the ones that are well established and make a living from full-time...

Riddlewood Manor: A Game that Doesn't Know What it Wants to Be

 Riddlewood Manor: A Horror or Humor Game? Jumpscares and Hilarious Moments      I'll admit I wasn't sure about what I was getting into with Riddlewood Manor. Tis the season to be horrific, so I was happy to receive a key from Stride PR to check out the game. I'm no fan of jumpscares, so I'm extremely happy the game provided a jumpscare alert so I could whip off my headphones and brace myself. My viewers at times love to use my alerts to make me nearly lose my lunch. Downwards. I was excited to jump into the first horror-based game for the 'ween season. Plus, puzzle games are kind of my thing (you did  get that it was a puzzle game, correct?). As one of the few keys I've received for the season, I wasn't sure what to expect. Expect the Unexpected: Almost Horror Riddlewood Manor  needs no tutorial (although it has one) but it's a straightforward adventure/horror/humor game that throws in some mostly intuitive puzzles. There's not a lot of challenge he...
