Another one of these "special" sessions, but this time starting with messing around in a couple games before locking down what I wanted to make the "special" session about.
For the foreseeable future, all "special" sessions and all the normal streams are encoded in AV1 for the best possible quality. Even if youtube only sees fit to give my videos the VP9 codec at the best of times. From what I've previewed they still look good, but the files I'm uploading? You couldn't tell the difference between them and what you'd see playing the game yourself at the settings I use. It's impossible. It looks identical.
