As it turns out, downloading Twitch clips is still super easy even if there isn't a simple download button. There are quite a few ways to download clips from Twitch, which gives you options on how you want to approach it. Although we find the easiest way is to use Google Chrome or Firefox, you're also welcome to use a few outside resources to download your favorite clip as well.

Downloading Twitch clips with Clipr

To download clips from Twitch, most people will use a third-party website. Clipr a popular website is made specifically to pull Twitch videos, so it’s definitely the easiest to use.

Step 1: Find the clip you'd like to download on Twitch. You can choose clips from your own collection or clips publicly shared by your favorite streamer. In the lower right-hand corner of the video, click the Share button. Copy the Clip Link.

Downloading Twitch clips with Firefox

Although using an outside source is nice, sometimes it’s better to download the clip directly from the browser. This will allow you to select the resolution you want to download and gives you more control over what you’re downloading to your computer. It’s a surefire way to get the resolution you want for the clip you love.

Downloading Twitch clips directly from the browser is pretty simple. However, for the easiest method to download clips, you’ll want to be sure to be using Firefox. This used to work on Chrome as well, but appears to no longer function on that browser. You’ll need to use the Inspect tool, but once you do that, the download process is very easy.

Step 1: Once you have the clip you want open, set the quality of the video you want to download. Once you find what resolution works best for you, pause the clip. Then, right-click on the video and hit Inspect.

Step 2: Scroll up a little bit until you see a line that has a link that reads “https://clips-media-assets2…” and ends with “.mp4” – you can copy and paste this line to search for it within the Inspect elements. It may look a little different with different videos, but the beginning of the link will be the same across the board.

Step 3: Double-click on this to get a chance to copy it. Once the item is highlighted, you can select either Control + C if on PC, Command + C on Mac, or right-click and select Copy.

Step 4: Open another window, paste the link, and delete any extra code you may have copied on accident. This should trigger the clip to automatically start downloading. Your downloaded clip will appear in your downloads folder and can be moved anywhere you need.

A humble village in Manor Lords.

People are your most important resource in Manor Lords. Without a growing population, you won't be able to effectively build new structures, staff your buildings, and have people ready to fight any battles.

While you are in charge of almost all aspects of your growing kingdom, you can't force new people to join your village if they don't want to. Your grand plans for the perfect kingdom will be thwarted before they even begin if you can't figure out how to increase your population to help build that dream. There are two main factors you need to understand to grow a population, but one is a bit less clear.

How to upload a custom coat of arms in Manor Lords
Two armies clash in Manor Lords.

If you really want to feel like the lord of your own kingdom in Manor Lords, you will want to make the experience as personalized as possible. Naming your budding village is a great start, but your coat of arms is a visual representation of your kingdom that appears far more prominently. When you are starting a new game, you will have a decent selection of symbols, designs, and colors to make something cool from, but there's far from endless freedom. You do have the ability to create any coat of arms you want, though it does take some extra work outside of the game itself. Here's how it works.

I was wrong about cloud gaming. One small setup change showed me the light
The Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld sits on a stack of comics.

I never had much faith in cloud gaming.

The reality of current internet infrastructure and reliability just felt -- and in many ways still feels -- too far off for streaming to provide a close enough experience to the "real" thing for gamers to accept. I even gave it my best shot to change my mind one year ago this week by committing to only playing games via cloud for an entire week. What I found was that, in my situation, there were only select games where the input delay was tolerable enough to consider it as a primary way to play. It's a great option for those who can't get expensive hardware, but it wouldn't find an audience among the hardcore gamers who have better alternatives.
