Cat may not be big brain.... But he's adorable!!!

[@Frooba3]

I love how chill this one was. Chatting with our buddy Joe in the living room. And then there was Mort craving violence.

[@darthvaderyan]

You think he didn't learn anything but wait until he steals your stream viewers with his advanced production techniques

[@SimonClark]

I've never met him but I would literally die for that cat

[@TizzyFatalNova]

THANK YOU! I was having a horrible time this evening. I switched from StreamLabs OBS to OBS and was used to having Fiber where I used to live and now have DSL. It has been a headache. Your video helped me understand. I appreciate this soo much!

[@Me-wx5ik]

The SEO is strong with this one

[@BogBoyOfficial]

thanks this was really helpful :)

[@joshcook983]

Thank you so much for actually explaining why you're doing something, I find tutorials are so much more useful if you actually understand what the things you’re charging are effecting rather than just blindly messing with controls until it works

[@JoeHickson]

It triggers me how many videos are out there on similar topics stating there's only one correct way of doing things.

[@fezlord]

the production in ur videos are amazing

[@JoeHickson]

Thank you :)))

[@crossfrogjosh]

As soon as i saw this i knew i needed it, gonna go and change up my stream now

[@Shiroar]

Everything just needs more Mort for quality content 🖤🐈

[@jexendo]

I love how during the tech stats you can just see his ears behind the sofa 😂

[@JockyCGE]

This will definitely help me get to where I need to be. I have okay quality, but after a certain amount of time, my frames will just go to shit. They'll drop nonstop until I reset stream and it's so frustrating. AT&T need to get a fiber plan out here where I live so I can stream scot free.

[@ems7204]

Although I don’t think I’ll ever find a use for this myself - it’s still really informative and I love hearing more into the background stuff that normally I don’t see 😂 Mort is so adorable 🥰 Great video either way! How old is he now?

[@ChrisTay229]

I love mort so much, oh my god

[@JoeHickson]

He is a golden boy

[@Melleh17]

Thanks I've been trying to figure this out for a long time

[@CrythmX]

does anyone know how to do that effect with the gameplay at 2:04

[@JoeHickson]

use a source mirror to duplicate the gameplay. then just add a blur filter to the game. + an image mask

[@CrythmX]

@@JoeHickson ayee thank you man

[@fritzhartmannhandykanal]

Ya, I think this video helped👍🏻thanks

[@pyrite_Bilge]

thanks i needed this

[@JAGTube]

Really useful, thanks Joe! I’ve been doing some testing on my throwaway second channel and i’m already seeing big improvements. Still need to continue to tweak it to find the best quality before it buffers constantly but its almost watchable 😃

[@JoeHickson]

Noice! Good to hear :)

[@TheFrenkenator]

what? no outro this time? is this even a joe video by this point fine mort's cute I forgive you

[@JoeHickson]

Tutorial SEO filler doesn't deserve an outro

[@tyrannyofalekhine]

okay video .. thanks for explaining the nerd stuff, i'm college educated so it's nice to understand the tech behind what i'm trying to accomplish; however, since i'm attempting to stream on garbage internet, i would've really enjoyed it had you went a bit more in-depth into the progression specs .. would've been nice to get both the theory and practice .. amazing cat btw

[@ShiivaWilding]

That cat is adorable!

[@JvsEvil]

Yes will people watch a min 720p game stream on 1.5 mbps or 480p good quality 1.5 Mbps , I use to stream on 720, looked fine but when you play fps it was pixelated so I changed to 480p and fps look nice but not as crisp as 720p, when I improve my internet next year then I go for 720 again but till then is it worth while streaming in 480p on twitch ?

[@SacredSkull101]

All mine did was lag, it sucks, im trying to start an SMP, but since the internet doesnt work, most of the SMP has been done off camera

[@thsudy]

so i want to stream without showing my face just a mic. any suggestions. and yes my internet is bad lol thanks

[@owaisabid6029]

joe matched his cat to the rest of his orange theme

[@JoeHickson]

He's on brand

[@joshyboy82]

I've been missing SSX3? one of the best games ever made. I'll find you on twitch for more of that Elise action.

[@TomLafford]

Useful!

[@thatoneguy6479]

Question, does having an overlay block the pixels on twitch?

[@abbiea-c]

even though i don’t stream this is rlly interesting!

[@CTCVisuals]

Mort is so cute :3

[@oli5210]

This information might be useless to me but I've got to watch for the aesthetic.

[@wawingnut1]

exactly what i needed

[@JoeHickson]

:)

[@Pokemark17]

odd that this is the same day that my internet company offered me an upgrade i can barly watch twitch somedays its that bad

[@LukeBlueShoesOsborne]

Would you be able to do something similar but for recording on OBS? I record lets plays on my other YT channel. I don't know if its my machine or if its games updating or obs updates. But over the last month or so I'm finding i am dropping frames and lagging when say for example Division 2 gets a bit intense. These where fine at the start of the year how ever.

[@JoeHickson]

A higher bit rate for recording gives higher quality yes. Though if your dropping frames it may be due to your pc not being able to handle compressing all the data. May be worth running a few tests to see what bit rates give you stable performance

[@LukeBlueShoesOsborne]

@@JoeHickson Hey Joe thanks for the reply, TBH I think it was a mix of both those things. Played with some settings in OBS and when i dropped the fps down in the game it started to work better without dropping quality. So i think it is sorted... sort of. Will have to test it a bit more vigorously with a story mission or something where the game has to load more data.

[@rocketforthree4479]

Is there a reason why you used white bars on the top and bottom instead of black bars?

[@JoeHickson]

Anti dark mode :) haha any colour would have the same effect

[@frish3]

What camera are you using in this video?

[@JoeHickson]

Sony a73 :)

[@frish3]

@@JoeHickson thx

[@ShadowScopeIndustrys]

Imagine being so early no-one else can comment. Priviledges :).

[@jamescollins6085]

I find my streams look awful if I drop below 5,000kbps for 1080p60, hopefully this will help.

[@JoeHickson]

Maybe worth dropping down to 720p60 or 1080p30 :)

[@OmairArif]

If your streaming full screen, high motion games (such as an FPS) I would recommend just sticking to 720p60 (or 1080p30 if resolution is more important to you). Even Twitch's max of 6,000kbps struggles to keep up in those situations.

[@jamescollins6085]

@@JoeHickson Thanks for the advice, I'll give 720p60 a go. I used to have to go all the way to 10,000 on KZbin to get good quality on racing games. That's no problem for me, but I'm aware that Twitch is quite conservative with their bandwidth requirements.

[@sam.j.455]

Obligatory algorithm comment! Also Morty 💚

[@ScrimmSix]

you never had bad internet if you’re speeds are higher than 4-5 mbps download and 0.3 upload like frontier has

[@IndigoF0X]

I have no intention of doing anything that Joe shows us but his channel is too good to not watch

[@fiammeggiante_]

Nice

[@ALtheBoi]

Thank you on behalf of all broke people

[@SplinteredCompany]

Really, 4 minute video to say start at a low setting and increase it...?

[@zuikis121-]

Tl;dr: Cat doesn't speak English

[@nickimarzec6756]

Cute cat but I can’t focus on this video to actually retain the information

[@khele]

Mortimer is so cute

[@blueferret_]

Not me with obs dropping 65% of frames

[@JohnPiece]

Someone show this nerd stuff to Angory Tom.

[@nojiilim2466]

you and your kitten are very very cute.
