This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!
Tip: On Discord, clicking on the titles of embeds makes the source identifier disappear from the link you're going to entirely.

and its still bullshit, like, 'we can let genAI do the tutorials' is bullshit on its face. how you have a player learn your game is a meticulous top to tail bit of crafting. megaman levels are short tutorials-into-use-the-knowlwdge chunks. it is craft!

Twitch is (forcibly) rolling out "personalized notifications"
twitch will decide (based on nebulous factors) what channels you follow will get to notify you about going live. this is, somehow, you having more control over your notifications

What are Personalized Notifications?
When you follow a new channel, the default experience for those channel notifications is Personalized. With Personalized notifications, (highlight) Twitch curates your channel notifications based on factors including your viewing preferences, how recently you've already received notifications, and your local time of day. (end highlight) The types of notifications that can be personalized include:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwfx4qjjq2yhjzrgr5xqcnyz/bafkreifc2qkwbehggnyjkjk5qmi2j6ehzhyyvr57kv7g74ilprxorqomya@jpeg)
![[screenshot]
About Personalized Channel Notifications
To help ensure Twitch channel notifications are relevant to you, we provide all followers four customization options to choose from for each channel they follow: Always, Personalized, Go Live Only, and Off. This experience is designed to help you stay connected to your favorite channels and communities, while having more control over what other notifications you receive.
Starting December 2025, notification settings for all channels you currently follow will be migrated to Personalized Notifications. If you have notifications enabled for the channels you follow, you will receive Personalized Notifications. If you have disabled these notifications, those settings will be respected and remain turned off. This does not impact any of your other notification settings. You can customize this setting at any time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwfx4qjjq2yhjzrgr5xqcnyz/bafkreidu7obmqlf7xarvwxlhjm2mrw35rqqgbzryvasr5um2ck6elpfjjq@jpeg)
