Same game, same time, same everything. 10 unique viewers one night, 2 the next. How dead is discovery actually for tiny channels?

Nothing about the stream itself changed. Same game, same scenario, same slot. Last night looked like it was actually finding an audience. Tonight it was just two people, possibly the same two people, popping in and out for four hours.

I post Shorts daily off the back of these streams, so it's not a content or effort problem. Which makes me wonder if this is just what discovery looks like at this size. pure dice roll on who happens to be scrolling the directory at the right second. or if there's something structural I'm missing about how Twitch surfaces tiny channels.

Anyone else seeing something similar? Like at what point does "unique viewers" even become a stable enough number to learn anything from?

Meta Business Suite bug?

Is anyone else currently having difficulty using this? I spent about three hours scheduling reels for the month and all of the ones that were scheduled over the last few days have failed to post. so I'm now having to manually post them all. Thinking to just delete my account and forget about Instagram all together as an avenue for growth.

​

Would be good to know if this is just a temporary bug and the other scheduled posts I have lined up will go ahead. But let me know if this is something you're facing and any ways you have to get around it.

What are the most breakable RPGs you can think of

Looking for rpgs where you can completely ruin the balance once you understand the systems. Would also like to know about ittle tricks or hacks people have discovered over the years.

FF8 junction system is my favourite. love games that let you become absurdly OP.

Alcohol and weed the only things that work

I am really at a loose end with this right now and haven't slept properly in years. Since having kids I started to realise just how much of a problem I have. Before then I would always fall asleep in the early morning hours and then get up for work about 15 minutes before I needed to catch the train. This worked but obviously left me quite groggy a lot of the time. Now I'm trapped with a 6am wake up call and really don't know what to do. I'm in a zombie state most of the time and find myself snapping at the kids and my partner.

I exercise regularly and eat relatively healthily, I stop drinking coffee around 12pm. I went to the doctors and they just seem to think that I'm depressed but I'm really not I just can't sleep it's a problem I've had since I was very young. They prescribed me sleeping pills that don't really work. The only instance where I actually get decent sleep is when I combine them with alcohol which I know isn't safe. I used to be a big weed smoker slept well but have since quit and I'm not looking to get back into that.

Any ideas would help, little tricks that you've learned that can help me get over the finishing line. Things I do already: I keep the bedroom cool (I overheat a lot at night), I turn off my devices at 7 pm and often go straight to bed and read for about two hours. Still end up rolling around restlessly with white noise or boring podcasts on. I just don't have any other solution right now other than downing a big glass of wine right before bed.

New dad here who streams once I've taken the kids to bed. Started last year but had to stop for a while because my internet was terrible. I'm finally back and 5 streams in.

I love streaming even when it's quiet but it would be so much more fun with people to chat with and bounce off. Also keen to support other small streamers too.

Tonight I'm doing Terraria with first attempts at Eye of Cthulhu and Eater of Worlds. No idea if I'm ready, should be messy and fun.

If you're looking for a chill place to hang out, come say hi. Terraria fans especially welcome:

Good luck with your own streams everyone!
