Yep! You only get out what you put in! I've seen first hand how responsive you are with your audience on YouTube Naglfar, and the incredible effort you've made in building relationships with the people you interact with. I still see people begging for followers on YouTube all the time, and Google's response is to now flag all their comments as spam, and back in Sep they started terminating accounts over it because the issue got so out of hand. I think those are the types of people who lack social skills and how the technologies that drive the web work. They have to be willing to learn.
By the way, I'm glad to hear you got a new laptop! I know you're in a similar financial situation as I am, and its great to know you're still going to be creating for the foreseeable future. As for latency issues with FPS, etc, there are some things you can do to overcome those limitations. Sometimes its just a matter of a reconfiguration of power settings; other times its hardware limitations as a result of a slower hard drive, which can always be upgraded later on. Find out what the model of your hard drive is and the associated speed. You want at least a 7200 RPM drive for doing gaming videos, with solid state being the best choice.
Either way, it sounds like new PC is already proving itself beneficial based on what you stated. I've found my new laptop is really helping with my content production efforts as well. I had so many limitations on the old PC that I don't have on the new one. The only drawback with my new PC is webcam, its really low quality, so I'm going to replace it soon.
Yeah I try my best to reply to all comments I get on any site I am on I admit at times it gets overwhelming but I think the end result is worth it I love answering peoples questions or helping someone if they ask about a game or something etc. I can`t tell you how may times getting a simple ''thank you'' went a long way for me it makes me happy :) I have even been thanked at times in the past for replying period so i am glad to help others out.
And yeah! man it is tough being in a tight spot money wise but finally being able to get this thing was the biggest and best thing to come this month. And yes! I can even record more vareity of games now on this too I tested RPG maker games as there are some good decent independent and fanmade stuff out there and a few others they run great!!
ah and thanks for letting me know I will see if the power settings have anything to do about it as I am not so on the up and up when it comes to seeing specs and all that on a machine etc. and I hope you get that webcam replacement soon! so you too can bring the quality of your vids to where you really want them.
You really do have to have a pretty powerful computer to produce gaming videos on the web these days. But even budget laptops are getting a lot more powerful today, and can often run the bulk of most games and applications pretty well. In the case of my new laptop, I got a lot of powerful hardware for a fairly cheap price, but the sacrifice was ending up with a junk webcam. The good news is the old laptop still works as far as the webcam goes, it just wont run any games really. The nvidia graphics card fried on it, so all it has is the integrated intel graphics chip, which can't run anything other than webcam recordings.
So, I'm still using the old PC for its web cam alone now, but the hard drive on it is failing as well. 2 of the 3 USB ports are dead on the old PC as well, so I know its going to work for much longer. Meanwhile, the new PC works great for my games, and that's what really matters.
