Video storage message from my Twitch dashboard stating I now have 2h 45m of Highlights (After)
It's done.
Although I now have all 10.4TB of streams spanning 2018-2025 backed up to an external HDD, it was kinda sad to press "delete" from their "home" on #Twitch
Am I wrong to think we shouldn't have been forced to move our memories elsewhere? End of an era. o7

Anyone else think the end shot of #Severance S2 was a nod to the ending of The Graduate (1967)? ๐ค

$300 laterโฆ 24TB hard drive acquired. Started the process of downloading all my Twitch highlightsโฆ. All 987 files, spanning 5422h 46m of content over 5.5 years.
This is going to take a while. ๐ซ
Hopefully I can get it done by the April 19th deadline. ๐

5422 hours, 46 minutes of Twitch Highlights currently stored.
Total number of Twitch Highlights is 986.
- 1 hour of 720p 60fps video: Approximately 1.86 GB.
- Calculation: 5500 hours * 1.86 GB/hour = 10,230 GB
- Converting to Terabytes: 10,230 GB / 1024 = approximately 10 TB
Seagate - Expansion 24TB External USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services - Black (Model: STKP24000400)
$279.99 @ Best Buy
YouTube has daily upload limits. With that, I wouldn't be able to export everything prior to April 19th.
986 HLs โ 10 ULs = 98.6 (99) days
~ 5500 Hrs. @ 720p/60fps = 10TB
Guess my only recourse to preserve my irreplaceable memories is a costly external HDD. Thanks #Twitch ๐คฌ

Look, I get itโฆ online storage is costly, but please realize the absolute rug pull this is to creators who canโt afford terabytes of storage media and/or a staff of editors. Not to mention how laboriously slow the built in export/download tools are. 60 days isnโt enough.

Screen shot from my Twitch Video Producer Dashboard taken 2.19.25 after the policy change limiting Highlights & Uploads to 100 hours was announced stating that my storage limit was full and roughly 5423 hours of content was at risk of deletion after 4.19.25.
Soโฆ roughly 5,423 hours, spanning nearly 6 years of my channel history is about to go *poof* after April 19th if I canโt find the storage or have the time to export to YouTube thanks to another bad #Twitch decision. Fantastic. ๐

Quick life update for those interestedโฆ Iโm still recovering from surgery in December. Unfortunately, the abscess wound site is healing slower than expected. I havenโt streamed because sitting in my office chair is still painful. Hopefully back soon. Thanks for your patience. โค๏ธ

In a world increasingly full of generative-AI slop masquerading as โartโ, David Lynch was an inspirational true original. So much of our film, television, & games of the last several decades were influenced by his work. We lost a true artist today. Thank you for sharing your vision. RIP ๐

Finally recovering at home following a scary week. Developed a 4cm deep abscess on my leg that lead to an infection, surgery, & hospital stay. Still need to take it easy as the wound heals & I make lifestyle changes for diabetes management. Sorry if Iโm a bit quiet. Hopefully back to it soon. โค๏ธ

On the mend now with an inhaler, prednisone, & antibiotics, but I have very little energy & even the simplest things are exhausting at the moment. To top it off, we are also processing a close death in Mikeโs family that we found out about last night. (6/7)
