Video capture for laptop?

Hi, I wanted to connect my ps4 onto my laptop to play some games whilst on-board (I work aboard a ship for 2 weeks so a TV is not an option in my case) recently acquired one to try it out but after some testing and programming it does have some lag and frame drops, so games like Sekiro are unplayable. Other games which are more forgiving on button output are ok I guess. What would you guys recommend, getting a better capturer or buying a splitter? I heard that video capture cards with two hdmi (input and output) work better? Sorry for my English

Itch.io, is it safe ?

So typically when im searching the web for new games to play I always use steam since I know I can trust it not to have virus. But there are some good games that the big let's players are playing that are not on steam but are on itch.io .

Does anyone have experience with viruses using this website for games, or can I trust downloading indi games from it?

The game im looking to make a video on is dont seem with the fishes

Як стати летсплеєром?

Привіт усім! Хочу спробувати себе у форматі летсплеїв. Маю ідею робити контент з гумористичними коментарями, фокусуючись на іграх, у які вже граю (наприклад, RE8, vr та інші проєкти).
Мене цікавить кілька моментів:
1 Яке мінімальне обладнання потрібне для старту, щоб звук і картинка були приємними для глядача?
2 Яким чином краще балансувати гру і власний голос, щоб коментарі не перекривали важливі моменти?
3 Які поради ви б дали початківцю, щоб не "загубитися" серед тисяч інших відео?
Буду вдячний за будь-який досвід або посилання на гайди, які допомогли вам на старті. Дякую!

LARPsplayers

With the new trend going around of people LARPing as letsplayers, could this rejuvenate an interest in letsplays? Do you see such a trend lasting? Are you currently or questioning becoming a LARPsplayer?

(If you haven't heard of LARPtubers: people are roleplaying as popular YouTubers and letsplayers as they were in the mid to late 2010s. The most popular one so far being LARPiplier)

I'm looking for new Youtube Let's Players to watch.

Edit: People have asked what games I'm into and that's just not something that needs to be answered. Yea it would give you more of an idea of whom to suggest but then less people would answer. It lowers options.

As the title says I'm wanting new people to watch. The biggest problem is that I don't want to watch people who just upload their streams or use face cam. I didn't want to ask this here so I tried looking for someone on YT. I just put a game I'd like to watch be played and the only thing that would come up are people's streams.

The 2 biggest YT gamers I watch are Chuggaconroy and The Game Grumps.

Looking for 1-2 people for a gaming group (regular recording sessions)

There are currently have around 7 active members and have been a group since the beginning of April. However we are looking to add 1-2 more people to our group. Our content is mostly funny moments but edit how you see fit.

We play any co-op/party games like Minecraft, Among Us and newly released steam games*. Sometimes we also play browser games like Gartic Phone.

*EDIT: Noticed this may be misinterpreted but by 'newly released' we don't mean AAA games, but indie releases (such as Burglin Gnomes)

Currently the majority of the group are on EST time zone (US) and generally aim for the evenings (i.e. past 5pm) however we are open to other time zones if they work for example we have a couple of members from Oceania. Our recording times usually last 3+ hours depending on the game.

Channel size doesn't matter, as long as you are consistent and bring good energy. We want people who actually want to build onto something and make some friends doing it. We do try to make sure everyone gets their own input and give feedback where needed, no leadership we run as a democracy.

What we need from you is to be consistent and as active as you can be, to let us know if you can't make something, we do understand life happens. We try to record once a week but it is pretty flexible. You must be able to edit and post your own stuff (we will help but being self sufficient should be your goal)

For whatever reason you would like to leave, there are no hard feelings of course.

If this sounds like you DM me and we can arrange a date for a trial run to see if you are a good fit 😄

Looking for some new gaming essay YouTubers, who are your faves?

I fancy seeing some fresh and new YouTube gaming essay video creators.

Recently found TRENCHCOAT and really enjoying him. A lot of the ones I have followed for years have been slacking recently.

Have you got any faves?

Recommend me: runs with pure strategic and/or tactical genius.

I want to see some competence porn.

Preferably a strategy game but most anything will do if the excellence shines through. RPG, tower defence. Third person shooter, etc. Indie games too, don’t need AAA.

***

As an example:

I used to play a fair bit of Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer:

There were quite a few players that could solo the highest difficulty with the best weapons and kits.

There were substantially fewer players who could solo the highest difficulty with the worst weapons and kits.

They were good enough to see how to properly use what were elsewise considered to be the “worst” and worked around using the worst weapon. It’s those kind of runs I am craving.

What do you do if you did a live lets play and OBS messed up?

Hi. In my latest Rayman recording the worst happened. OBS newest update did mess with the settings and ended up not recording the game sound.
4 hours of recording without game sound. 4 hours in which I made huge progress in my blind play through and their are no multiple saves slots do at least redo the normal levels with sound.

As my voice at least worked I did try to savage it by at least including the game ost behind the video. But this is annoying as hell and a pity. As Rayman is one of the biggest games I played this far.

Commentary

I’m wanting to give content creation a go again. Haven’t in years so now having a pc I thought I’d give it another go. The only thing I’ve always struggled with is the commentary. Never understood how talking to no one is natural for some people. Any tips or advice for helping with the commentary would be appreciated

MEGATHREAD: Feedback Friday!

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!

Suggested Feedback Template

If you're struggling to form your feedback, consider using this template. This is not mandatory, but rather a suggestion to promote good and constructive feedback.

Long form let's plays dont get veiws what can I do to fix that?

I run a small channel (321 subs) channel

That seems to be completely stagnant no growth at all

Mind you i at one point was pulling in thosands of veiws and now i cant even reach 10 veiws

4 if im lucky I did take a 2 year break mid maybe 2020-2022 Where i fully stoped due to depression and complete burn out but iv seens been makeing content pretty consistently every since I do 4 videos a month

Any advice is appreciated

It COULD be thumbanils/the titles but im not good at makeing thumbanils or titles either so any helo with that would be appreciated as well

I started usuing a microphone and am planning on adding a Webcam here within the next few days as well

Maybe that'll help?

I dont know that it matters but I record alot of videos then schedule them ti cone out in the conming weeks so I can do other things line spend time with family

Would that effect anything?

I hope this is a good olace fir this

Im trying to get as much advice as possible

Not sure what flair this falls under as like 3 of then could work for it

Its a question but im also asking for help But I also want advice
