Dwarf Fortress Tutorial: Part 2

In the last stream of Dwarf Fortress, we learned how to navigate the menus, dig into the mountain some basic rooms for us, and start production on our farm and other necessities. We still have a lot to do. I wanted to do this with a couple of days in between each stream so as to not have Dorfan every single night during prime time, but also, New Years is coming, so it'll be a few days more. Part two of this three or four part series will be on Sunday,...

What Stream is Best Stream?

As you guys know, I can't stream all day errey day. My work schedule more or less leaves me with only night-time streaming as an option. While I'm busy at work, I manage to lurk a bit here and there. I've noticed that our viewer count drastically decreases when certain "factors" are in effect. I'll try my best to explain what I mean.CHAT: I'm not a believer in telling people what to talk about. It's extremely easy for me to ignore dumb comments,...

Streamer Organization

In an attempt to organize our large list of streamers, I've decided to create Full-Time and Part-Time positions. Now, before I get any further, I'm still aware that this isn't a job, nor am I paying anyone to stream, but, this'll hopefully be a way to categorize the less active streamers and reward the more active streamers. It goes like this:Full-Time Streamer: Someone who streams as much as daily to as little as 3 or 4 times a week. These streamers...

Call to Stream

Uncle Vine has noticed a disturbing trend here on vinesauce vidya, lack of streaman. If you check the FAQ, you'll see our large number of streamers, yet I can count those that don't stream on every finger of my right hand as well as on a few toes of my left foot. This is upsetting. Those with streamer and mod privileges should at least try to stream a bit more often, otherwise, they are no more than glorified viewers.Now, before people start becoming...
