  • It does sound to me like ingesting all these different formats into a normalized database (aka data warehousing) and then building your tools to report from that centralized warehouse is the way to go. Your warehouse could also track ingestion dates, original format converted from, etc. and then your tools only need to know that one source of truth.

    Is there any reason not to build this as a two-step process of 1) ingestion to a central database and 2) reporting from said database?












  • Yeah if it’s an edited video you’re most likely seeing mostly the successful attempts; fans who want edited content want funny deaths, deaths where the player learned something, and successful attempts + payoff & moving along.

    People who are the real deal usually run a LiveSplit timer on screen so you can tell when this is happening.

    Mostly though, people who make a living on making gaming content are usually really good at games overall. Don’t compare yourself to someone who’s making a living doing it. If you were that good you’d also be doing it.

    And finally, yeah I’m sure there are fakers out there. Dislike and move on.

    Print to PDF might just convert the PDF into Postscript instructions and back again without the original PDF’s metadata, but that probably depends on the Print to PDF software being used and its settings.

    Those printer instructions are called Postscript and they’re the basis of PDF.

    You are thinking that the printing process will rasterize the PDF and then essentially OCR/vector map it back. It’s (usually) not that complicated.
