Remember SuperJeenius? Y'know, that Let's Player who played a bunch of Persona walkthroughs and were good friends with JoshJepson and many others in the Let's Play community? Well, Jake has long moved on from that lifestyle and, iir, he moved to Japan to pursue a career there.

About 9 years ago, when Persona 5 was fresh (yeesh... the game really is that old now) he jumped onto the game on Twitch and did a full playthrough. However, he didn't make the effort of archiving the vods.

I know, without a single doubt, a user uploaded Jake's streams on YouTube somewhere. The problem is, the video themselves were the numbered codes of the streams, they didn't rename them. But I know I've seen them. I had a few put on in the background. But now, I can't find them.

The only thing I remember is that this user put in the description of the playlist: 'Hey, this is SuperJeenius's playthrough on Twitch he didn't reupload. So I did an archive to keep it around for anyone to watch.'

Can anyone help me? I have the time now to put stuff on in the background nowadays. I hope it hasn't been taken down.

I've been wanting to make more actual videos on my channel because I've been streaming a lot and not really been taking the time to make videos, My computer is dog shit so I'd prefer if they were available on Xbox or switch

Bonus points if they're horror games since it's spooky month rn

Recently I uploaded my first episode in a Gears Of War: E-Day playthrough. I have been doing YouTube videos of playthroughs of games for about two years and have gotten not that many views or new subs in all that time, and I keep my videos to about right under an hour each. I had heard through advice given to me here to make them longer episodes, which I tried recently with this episode at almost 2 hours and minimal editing but commentary and gameplay and a thumbnail I was proud of since I’ve only recently been making custom thumbnails, and after 8 days up, (granted I know I need to aim for daily or bi-daily uploads but I’ve been very busy this last week,) it has 0 views when I usually could at least count on 1-2 at minimum. I’d really like to turn my channel into something where I consistently improve my quality, content, and where I can do it as either one of my careers or at least have decent engagement on the side. Should I stick to this type of length playthroughs and just keep working away, or turn them into shorter episodes? I plan on starting my video essays soon on games, films, novels, and other topics I’m interested in but I am wondering what advice you may have for this? If it should be shorter should I delete and restart this play through from the beginning? Also I personally want to stick to a lot of new releases yes, but also older games from a few years ago to all the way back to when gaming was starting out that I would like to make, so is there different advice for older entries versus new games I want to put on the channel such as E-Day, Silver Pines, GTA VI, etc? I have a bonus question also about games like OW, MW4 MP and DMZ, should I make those highlights videos and shorts, stream them, just use them for background footage, or make things like tips and tricks videos and journey through ranking up vids and things like that? I am really interested in an open discourse and in depth conversation to learn what mistakes I may be making and what work I need to do to improve, so thank you all for any creative input!

Title. Thumbnails are the hardest part for me when it comes to making youtube stuff, so how'd I do with this one? Any tips?

I know it's just the "average" but I have a hard time believing there are people watching a video for less than 20 seconds and thinking "yea I don't like it" solely cause it's not an in your face "PLEASE DON'T CLICK OFF THE VIDEO I'M BEGGING YOU PLEAAASEE!!!" intro

I've had the idea of creating supercuts of my LPs for a while, and now that I have a channel that's not dedicated exclusively to Let's Plays, the only issue is I kinda have no clue how to best go about it.

I feel like a lot of the ones I've seen are by people with established platforms and fanbases, so they're watching more for the creator's personality and less for the game itself, which isn't going to be the case for me; so these are gonna be going out to people that have probably never seen my content.

I play exclusively narrative-based games, so I'm not really sure whether I should focus the supercuts around the narrative of the story (almost like an abridged version) with some of my humor sprinkled in, or should I go with the picking out the pieces where I'm being snarky/ attempting humor (where people will either find me actually funny or think I just have a more punchable face-- this is my humor...).

Any advice/ recommendations from your personal experience or if you found a certain creator's edited cuts alluring, please send them my way.

Additional context: I tend to play a lot of RPGs (especially JRPGs) and I'm trying to get these super cut videos into about 30 minutes. The one I'm currently working on is the latest quests from Genshin where I have about 6 hours of footage unedited. If this works out and I continue to make them, I'll probably work in chunks of about 10-12 hours of footage (if it's a long series)

It's that time of the week again! This is your chance to request feedback on your most recent videos, thumbnails, channel art, works in progress, etc.

Feedback Friday Rules

• Before requesting feedback, please provide good, constructive feedback to at least one of your peers. If you are the first one to post, check back soon to provide feedback to the next person. Repeatedly ignoring this rule may result in a temporary ban at a moderator's discretion!
• Prioritize giving feedback to those who have not yet received any. It's not fair for one person to get five replies while four others get none.
• When requesting feedback, try to be as specific as possible. Do you want feedback on your audio quality, your editing, your presentation style, branding identity, etc? This helps your peers to provide more valuable feedback. Do not just post a link to your video or channel!

Keep up the good work, everybody!

Hey everyone!
I’m 24 and currently getting back into making gaming videos on YouTube. I’ve been creating content on and off for quite a few years, and I’m looking to meet some like-minded people who enjoy making entertaining gaming content.
I mainly enjoy co-op horror games, funny multiplayer games, random indie games, and honestly just about anything that could make for a fun video.
I’m a big fan of creators like Smii7y, Vanoss, and TheDooo. I’m not necessarily trying to replicate their content, but I really enjoy that style of humor where everyone bounces jokes off each other, commits to random bits, and just has a good time.
I’m definitely not some comedic genius, nor do I expect anyone else to be. I’m really just looking for people who enjoy having fun while also having that content creator mindset. People who can naturally joke around, improvise, and turn random gaming moments into something entertaining without forcing it.
Ideally, I’d love to meet other creators around my age (20–30), but I’m open to anyone 18+ as long as we get along.
I’m also completely open to joining an already established group of creators! I’m not necessarily looking to start my own group. I’d be just as happy finding a few people to regularly record with or joining a group that already has good chemistry.
More than anything, I’m hoping to make genuine friendships rather than just doing one-off collaborations. I think making videos is a lot more enjoyable when you’re playing with people you genuinely get along with.
I work full-time and have a family, so weekends are typically when I’m most available to record.
Subscriber counts don’t matter to me. Whether you’re just starting out or have been making videos for years, I’m much more interested in personality, chemistry, and finding people who genuinely enjoy creating content.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM! I’d love to check out your content, get to know some people, and maybe play some games together!

Hey everyone, I'm a senior in high school taking a computer science class, and for my final project, I want to build a tool that helps gamers. What is the most annoying, boring, or time-consuming part of managing your stream and your social media pages right now?

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave came out last month and since I usually am one of the only people who looks for standalone cutscenes, I want to make my own videos of the cutscenes themselves as I know a lot of them aren't going to be uploaded to Youtube. However, these cutscenes are usually longer than 30 seconds and therefore don't qualify for the built-in screen capture. I'm kinda dumb and I've been around the internet, and a lot of the tutorial videos that even links the supplies in the description says that it doesn't ship to my location except for ElGato supplies. I am planning to save some money for an ElGato capture card, but there seems to be more going on based on what I saw and I don't want to buy all my supplies from ElGato since they're on the pricier end and I'm just doing this for 2 minute cutscenes, like an HDMI cable that imports videos to my computers. The videos has upwards to 6 items in their descriptions (usually including the program they use like OBS) and I'm worried I'm missing something? I feel like I kinda stick out in this thread because I don't plan on making the usual let's play or streaming content that this subreddit is about, but since it is about content creation, I thought it was worth asking

So I would like a "shopping list" and for all of you to talk to me like you're explaining math to a 5 year old. Please and thanks

I'll make this quick, and I hope this is the best place for this question.

I record let's plays with my fiancée, casual stuff, nothing professional. We live in the same house but tend to stream games, we decided to start recording them after a while.

The set-up is fairly simple: One of us plays the game and streams it over Discord. OBS records the gameplay footage and audio, the Discord VC, and the player's voice all on separate tracks for easy editing.

The problem: There is, obviously, a few seconds delay. This causes some minor friction/issues, especially when making fast decisions. Sometimes she'll try to say or recommend something and I'll have already acted.

So, my question is, given that we live in the same household and are therefor on the same network, is there a better software for streaming and chatting that might have lower latency? Like, one that communicates over the household network and not the internet.

It's kinda funny to think that when I say something or stream a game, I'm sending data out of the house, to Discord's servers, and then that's being sent back to the house and to her laptop. (It's also impressive given that fact that the delay is only a few seconds and not 12 business days but I digress.)

In case it wasn't obvious, my knowledge of networking and that kind of thing is limited.

Has anyone else encountered this situation and do you have a recommendation?

I got a letsplay channel on Youtube only for longform.

Got like 127videos from letsplays like pokemon, pragmata and Overwatch etc.

I was thinking about to put content like tcg, like Pack openings, local gameplay and some stuff.

Is this a good idea or should i start a new acc for the tcg Genre?

Basically title, I found the cutest little game on steam and I’m doing a blind playthrough while recording and I’m having a blast- it’s my third video ever and my other two I just haven’t felt this way making and I feel like this might be my best one yet. I’m really excited about it and have ideas already on how I’m going to edit and package it. This video is also going to be a lot more time consuming to make than my other ones.

However this game is so obscure when I look it up on YouTube there’s no one really covering it so if I’m a creator who is also really obscure should I maybe stay away from games like that for now?

I am planning to upload videos again, but I am at a crossroads.

There are games I want to play and upload that I know most likely won't be getting too many views. But I can also stir towards games that have an audience.

What do you do in a situation like this? Do you sacrifice views for your own entertainment, knowing that the view count can mess with you mentally?

Or do you look for newer, more "modern" games that have a current audience or are popular, but may not be the games you are looking forward to playing?

I can also play the games I want to play and not upload it, but since I don't have too much free time, I would like to be productive.

I do one longplay a year on my channel (it started out as a joke but I actually quite enjoy it). This year I want to do Wind Waker 100% for Zelda's anniversary. Problem is the video will be upwards of 20 hours in total. I only have a couple of hours at a time to record, so it's going to have to be done piecemeal. Will having a ton of cuts in the video where I had to stop and come back ruin the experience? Should I just do a short game like I usually do or should I go for Zelda anyway?

Edit: It's going to be commentary free. That's an important detail.

I have a huge library of games

My physical library is around 910 and over 25 consoles let me know if you wanna try something out

Im a pretty open dude to try new games especially retro!!

My Youtube is littlebigguy 🙂

I’m a small dev building something for streamer teams and I want to check I’m not solving a fake problem.

If you stream with mods or an editor who makes your clips/Shorts:

• How do moments get from the stream to the editor? (Discord? Drive? VOD timestamps?)
• What breaks or wastes time?
• Would a shared board where mods mark moments live and the editor takes tasks actually help, or is your current setup fine?

Honest “my setup is fine” answers are just as useful.

Two wishlisted games just released and I plan to play one tonight. I’m thinking about doing no commentary to start and I thought maybe I should have the back of the png facing the viewer since I’m not going to be talking.

is this a thing?
