Streaming - What do you like?

Streaming - What do you like?

I know this type of question has been asked before. But maybe not in detail.

  1. What makes you watch someones stream? Someone new to you. The first impression that makes you click on his/her stream. Maybe not even racing relate.
    • Webcam
    • Titel
    • Type of racing (GT, NASCAR, DIRT,...)
  2. What makes you follow the streamer so you can come back to his or hers stream?
  3. What type of steams are you looking for?
    • League broadcasting
    • Coaching like Suellio
    • Topsplit like Yuri or Lubo
    • Chichat during and in between races like Matt or Sampsoid
  4. GT, NASCAR, RX,... what series do you like the most?

I'm stream surfing a bit lately to find what might work.
It seems to be that most people are in there for the chat, talking to eachother not really actively watching the racing sometimes.
In some cases, they are doing their own race, sometimes even the same split and chat in between the racing.

People having good suggestions for streamers, please share.

My most popular steams were NASCAR streams. But they don't seem to be the highest grossing, which I find odd.

Turtle tank idea

Sorry for the IA image. I don't know why some people hate it. But I find it very handy to visualize to others what you're after.

Had anyone ever tried an Iwagumi-style turtle tank. Similar to the image? If so please share.

The carpet is close to a full cover. 6 months in

I think by the end of the years it's finally complete. It had it's ups and downs. But CO2 is just the trick isn't it. It was great the first couple of months without CO2. But eventually the colors started to fade. And the growing stopped.

Brickyard 400

The Brickyard 400 isn't a separate race we should see, right? It's just the Nascar iRacing Series open of fixed?

Bubbles got his own spot now

I have a big Iwagumi-style tank in my bedroom, and I made the mistake of having my daughter (8yo) pick a fish for it. Of course, she saw the bettas and wanted one. So I had to disappoint her and tell her that it was not a good tank for them. I made her the promise that if she would keep up her good work at school, I would install a small betta tank in her room. After some trouble starting it up, parameters were off by a lot. He ended up sitting in my big tank in a baby pen for about 3 weeks. Today we moved him into his own place. He scared us twice already; I guess he's just trying to find the best spot for playing possum. Does everyone's betta have the weirdest resting positions? I've done my research on them, and even after owning many tanks for many years, it's my first betta. So I'm not really familiar with their behavior.

Spying on your fish from work.

Who else looks at their tank from work? I check in every couple of hours. There is a Betta in the little breeder net, having trouble starting up his own smaller tank in my daughter's room, so I'm keeping him here. There's just too much current and too many nippy fish for him to be comfortable. He does show off when the come near him though. Hoping to move him next week. Because he deserves better than this small thing.

Help optimizing RX 9070 XT for iRacing + CPU

October last year I build my new PC for iracing. It's know for not really being good at GPU optimization. As in, it doesn't require a lot of GPU power on paper but it puts the GPU at work nonetheless. My CPU is a 7800X3D. So my hardware should be more than capable of running high FPS, I don't even need exceptional visuals. However it still drops a lot of frames. I'm asking max 120, but they drop to 50 as I put the treshhold there for dropping all kind of visuals.

Now I can build my own pc and set it up. But as far as optimization goes, I'm not well enough educated. Chatgpt helps a lot but in this case it seems to fail still. I manages to get "better" graphics with the same amount of frame drops. You could say, ask less but the frame drops will still occur. GPU is almost constantly making especially at the start of a race and my CPU is working hard too.

Is there someone that can help me with this. I'm pretty sure I can keep more minimim frames than what I'm at no. Ideally my minimum would be 80-90 fps.

Running 3 FHD 27 inch monitors at 120hz. 3 screens as 1.

Do you have a favorite fish?

Mine is and forever will be the Labeo Bicolor or the Red-tailed black shark. Simple in color, shape, and proportions, and their general attitude. Swimming around like he owns the tank but never really bothering other fish. Yes, I know I need to clean my windows; it has been a week and it seems like I missed a spot. The tank is now carrying my fish (Labeo and 20 Chinese Danios -1 that decided to jump out) and some red shrimp + babies for about 2 months now. I recently added a little CO2 because I was getting discoloration on my monte carlo. It's recovering well now.

I've had tanks as a kid and young adult. But this is the first one I really like looking at for hours if I can. Less is so much more.

GPU Drivers: 32.0.31019.2002

Chipset Drivers: 10.026100.8328

Background Applications: iracing & general windows apps

Description of Original Problem:

So for the passed 2 or 3 days I noticed a flickering when I'm racing. It looks like the contrast is adjusting by itself. But I don't have any auto setting like that active. Now I also noticed that there's this minor freeze if the image going on too. iracing has the issue with a short freeze when someone is connecting to the session. It's so short that it doesn't really bother you. And the freeze I'm getting isn't giving me any issues either but it's annoying and it shouldn't do that. Chatgpt advice is pretty lame and its getting me nowhere fast. It's not the monitors. It's not the sim, the flickering happens in windows to switching through screens and what not.

Any advice on what it might be and how I can solve it? I can't really replicate. But for example looking at the AMD adrenaline screen, it's black/Grey. I can see a short moment of everything getting a little bit less dark and immediately switching back.

Troubleshooting:

Any advice chatgpt gave led to nothing. Checked every auto adjustment. They are off. Nothing updated these passed 3 days that I can see..

Report without result?

So yesterday at Mexico in a GT3 practice session. For some reason there was rookie crashing just about everyone that came near him. I came into the practice session about 10min before I had to sign up for the race. I wasn't able to put down a full lap because of him. And other were complaining too. The results of that practice isn't showing up. How do I report?

Video update on the tank

I've decided I'm going to have to add CO2. I'm on a really tight budget, so I'm saving up for it. But the plant growth has stagnated a bit.

I don't know how visible it is for you, but I like that my water contains so many minuscule air bubbles, even though it makes the water a little bit misty.

Top split 3h at Suzuka. Anyone got a replay?

Anyone got the replay or is willing to make a cut for me? During the race my HDD was getting full and I couldn't save it to make a cut. I stopped buffering before someone drove in on me twice. I'd like to report him.

Progress update first Iwagumi-style tank.

Added fish about 2 weeks ago now. Everything is going really well. Plants were growing pretty good for not adding CO2, only liquid fertilizer. I trimmed them a week ago. Hopefully they'll continue growing at the slow rate they were. Added an LED strip for some sunrise and sunset optics. Purely for me. 1 Labeo Bicolor 20 Chinese Danio 5 - 1 Red shrimp. Unfortunately one of them decided to take a walk outside the tank 🙄
