Streamer Luck™ didn't really pay out last stream, so let's try again! I'm gonna open my Pokemon TCG Pocket packs on stream.

After that, I'm playing the v5.0 update of Delivering Hope, a free Hololive fan-game by David Wu! It's super fun and only a little addicting.

Come hang out and enjoy the chill vibes and music. https://twitch.tv/fadedoasis

Like 14 games to go. Probably not gonna finish them all today, but I just wanna play more! UFO 50!!!

Bonus stream? Bonus stream!

I'm checking out Kitsune Tails, a Super-Mario-3-inspired platformer. I've heard only good things about it, including that it's VERY faithful to Mario 3 and has a lesbian love triangle story. Also that the foxes are cute.

It's really great that some YouTubers go to the effort of transcribing the video and set the timing for the subtitles.

But then they EMBED THEM IN THE VIDEO instead of uploading them directly to YouTube, which means they aren't very accessible and you're unable to translate them.

Don't ever time code captions/subtitles to appear word-for-word one at the time, omg. Just stop doing it.

*Especially* not unedited auto-captions where you get all the umms and aah, and ... and, and, so, like, also included. No one wants to read that (but some of us have to ). Make proper captions or admit accessibility is just not something you care that much about.

It's Friday! Had a tough work week? Come hang out and chill with me, as I play Dreamsweeper, a brand new roguelike from Etherlight (@etherlight), with lo-fi music by Oatmello!

Some YouTubers were upset to find that their #ClosedCaptions / #subtitles were scraped and used to train #GenerativeAI models: https://www.wired.com/story/youtube-training-data-apple-nvidia-anthropic/

As a deaf person, I'm left wondering how creators will react to this. Will any creators stop providing polished captions, or start polluting their captions, or turn off their captions altogether, in an attempt at resistance?

Captions are already hard work and expensive. It seems unwise to make creators' relationship to them more adversarial.

Does anyone have any insight into how #ClosedCaptions happen?

I've noticed issues in two shows recently, due to the strong accents and speech patterns (Northern Irish in Blue Lights on SBS, and Yorkshire in The Long Shadow on Stan).

Are the #captions generated by computer and checked by human? Are they done by the production/distribution company, or the broadcaster? #subtitles #question #accessibility

It's my last stream before vacation!!! I'm chilling out playing some POOOOL by Noah King, come hang out and chat! https://twitch.tv/fadedoasis

I'm supposed to be in summer school right now, but forget that! I have a new car, I'm gonna help with some crimes, and I just want to go to SPACE!

I'm playing Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip by snekflat! #GoingLive now at https://twitch.tv/fadedoasis

I've looked into alternative ways to sub youtube videos, and NekoCap seems to be the best one so far.

It's open source, no AI stuff or paywalls, supports a bunch of other video sites, and it supports complex subs so you can use different fonts, do text placement, all that cool stuff. They have their own subs editor, but I have never used it, just make my subs on AegisSub and upload them there.

You do need to have a google account to upload subs there, which is eh, but you get your own little page with all the videos you subbed and you can put a donation link there which is nice.

It links to the original youtube videos, so you can share them from the NekoCap website or just use their web extension to watch straight from YouTube, no account needed.

Anyway, I think it's neat, been using it a decent amount, I like it.
Here's a link to it: https://nekocap.com/

Why hello there. Today I am a cute alligator and I am going on an adventure. I'm an... adventugator? Yeah! Adventugator!

On the matter of accessibility and excellent closed captions:
Watching the end credits of an episode of Candela Obscura (chapter three, episode one) and the captions were excellent, as always. I can hear but they help me spot things I might miss, and to concentrate, but I also just appreciate them as an art form. But. Guess how many closed captions editors Critical Role hired for this?
FIVE. FIVE EDITORS. And that's how you do it. With intention!

Today on Faded Plays an Indie Game, Faded... plays an indie game. This time, it's Atomic 79, a roguelite shooter with awesome music. My goal is to kill skeltins and get gold.

Okay, dear #deaf community, and users of #ClosedCaptions ... I need your assistance:

I am Working on a open Source Closed Captioning System for Games, and try use existing TV Standards as a starting point (as game standards are generally bad). However: some of these Standards need Adaptation to be usable for games, so help me out by filling this survey.

Please boost so this can reach users of Closed Captions.

[Edit:] This is not about subtitles, it is about closed captions.
