Dread Captain James

Hi, my name is Jay, but most call me by my streaming name, Dread Captain James. I've been a streamer/content creator for about three years on Twitch and YouTube, and as this Podcast launches, I'll be starting my journey into the world of the full time.

This podcast is designed to help take you through my journey as a streamer, starting from the very beginning through leaving my job and going full-time. Every mistake, every success, every trick I know, and everything that I've learned, I would like to pass on to you.

Thanks for spending a few minutes with me!

This is Part 2 of a Multi-Part series on this story. It ended up being a bit longer than anticipated, which is fine, but I didn't want to put out a 30 minute video when we could take it in smaller batches.As per the usual explanation: AI & I is a series that puts artificial intelligence and organic intelligence on the same team to see what kind of creative output can be had. I use Mid Journey and Chat GPT to craft these stories, and meticulously edit and steer them until they produce what the vision was I had in my head. The ideas come from both of us, and thus, this is a joint effort to bring you original entertainment!Part 1 explores how Earth is done for, and humanity needs help. The crew of the Aeon Star sets out to save humanity from itself. Can they do it?Part 2 chronicles the difficulty of a long space journey, and the danger that can come with it. Check out the episode to find out what happens to the crew of the Aeon Star.

It's been a HOT second since we did this, so here we go! In this episode, we (Cul de Sac Jack and I) discuss THREE (count 'em) 3 different events: Ubisoft's Forward, Nintendo Direct, and Sony's State of Play.

Ubisoft had some serious things we need to discuss
Nintendo caught us off guard completely
Sony should have just sent an email

We covered the things we were excited about, and we left out a lot of things. Let us know what you think and tell us all about the things we left out that you are excited about!

First of all, I would like to apologize for the audio quality, our recording was goofed up a little bit, so I did what I could, and I hope it's not terrible.

Since we're stuck in The Brig together, let's talk about the first two episodes of Kenobi. THIS IS FULL OF SPOILERS, so I'd you haven't seen the show, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE. We talk about Kenobi, Fallen Order, Survivor, and several other things. Let us know what you think in the comments, we would love to hear from you!

Dread has an after-the-stream conversation with 16BitLuke about his experience with a very special game called Trek to Yomi, and it left him a little shaken. Have you played this game? What kind of experience did you have?

I sit down and talk to 16BitLuke (twitch.tv/16bitluke) to talk about this shocking news from Sony as to how they plan on competing with Microsoft's Game Pass. We have some feelings on the subject...

Let us know what you think about this new development and if grinds your gears.

UPDATE* In the episode, I specifically mention that we've been given nothing about migrating our existing memberships...as we recorded this episode, I got an email from Sony explaining that since I currently subscribe to both services, I will be rolled over to the new one at the highest level (same price), and I have to do nothing to make it happen - so I'm looking at that as a silver lining. Okay Sony, good job there.

We've made it to episode four, and I haven't really even explained what streaming is, let alone how to get started. This episode covers what a streamer does, and why, followed by how to get started. It's a long windy path, and you might be surprised by how much work is required for you to see the broadcast at all.
