"doing better than ____ in consistent Twitch viewership"

I glad twitch can now be used as a measuring device to tell me how good a game is.

One of many metrics, and given that twitch is videogames-while-not-playing-videogames, I'd say it's entirely relevant. It's the new word-of-mouth, and helps immerse a fan into the franchise when they're not actively playing it, or it might make a sale where there wasn't one.

Then again, it might break a sale where there might have been one.

Maybe it's a complex issue that games can refer to, but people can ~~debate~~ argue about elsewhere? v :v:

v

But that goes to the point: a lot of exposure of the issue, but comparatively little info going with it.

What's wrong with "androgynous"? A hermaphrodite has both male and female bits, if you don't know which they have, it's a Pat situation.

Couch watching is cool, so is pass playing ie changing on death or if death is basically impossible some other metric so the other people also get to play.

On that,

Some games are good to watch, though, and some people are good to watch play, and the internet is not the most ideal, I'll be the first to admit.

But I'll listen to their hot takes on a game over a "games journalist" paid shill any day.

how about next time you include your wiki link that establishes a basis for an anime boss fight being bigender alongside the screenshot of a villain going "ho ho dear protagonist i have a penis AND a vagina!" so that anyone who hasn't played BLUE ANIME ASSAULT FORCE or whatever doesn't see a dude calling hermaphrodites transsexuals?

At this point I like the tool-assisted exploit people a lot more because being a quirky nerd who discovered parallel universes in a 20 year-old Nintendo game is way more interesting that being a quivering bundle of nerves passive-aggressively sniping people as they play through a game really quickly.

There was that one guy who was at a speedrun thing and made some really cringey "jokes" about shooting people IRL and ended up getting banned by Twitch. Not to mention the one where apparently some Twitch couple broke up because while one of them was doing the speedrun, the other was having an affair in one of the hotel rooms.

SGDQ/AGDQ is both cool and cringey at the same time.

IIRC she jacked off a bunch of dudes and smashed pissers with one of the speedrunners, who then posted something on reddit that everyone expected to be an apology but ended up being him going 'DON'T GET ME WRONG, WE DEFINITELY HAD SEX'

Hey Sam,

So a lot of things have happened this week. I swear to you that I never had the intention of doing any of these things. I'm not going to speak for the other guys. I will just say that I, out of everyone, committed the most of what happened...I'm sure you know. I will be honest and admit that I like Tolki a lot. I always thought she was awesome, and seeing her at sgdq just solidified it more. I also was just high on sgdq hype, and was pretty drunk when the cheating first happened, but those aren't good excuses at all. The fact of the matter is that I gave into temptations. I am a good person with good values and have respect for people who deserve it, and in this particular instance I completely removed myself from that persona out of selfish desires. It doesn't matter how much I like her or was tempted to do anything. She is your wife, and out of respect for someone who was one of my best friends, I should obviously have not done what I did. Speaking of her being your wife, I just want to say that I strongly advise you to not take her for granted. She is something special, always remember that.

Let me just say that this was the worst thing I have done to someone in my life; the lowest I have ever been. I blatantly betrayed you for no good reason. After all of the talks we had, all of the advice we exchanged, and all the fun we've had together as friends, I went ahead and ruined everything.

I'm not expecting a response to this. I'm assuming you want nothing to do with me anymore, which is understandable. But I just wanted to apologize to you as best as I could. Just know that I still consider you my friend, even though you don't consider me yours. If you are willing to talk, I am always open to.

I am so unbelievably sorry. This is going to stay with me for the rest of my life.

Good luck with everything in the future, and I hope things work out for you in life.

All the best,
Stiv

Uh, you seem to be confused as to what I'm pointing out.

Corn was correct and reasonable to say "hey that character's a hermaphrodite" in response to the picture of the character going "I've got a dick and a pussy if you know what I mean".

You were calling the character bigender which, while arguably true based on what you've since posted, is WAY different from the biological state of being a hermaphrodite.

No, corn made an assumption based on a badly written metaphor and called me wrong. But he was wrong instead! He conflated hermaphroditism with being bigender, again, based on an image and not what I said. I called the character trans, which is correct if you take bigender as under the umbrella of transgenderism (which seems to be the norm!). The in game script calls the character bigender. Sorry this was confusing for you, but if you read things/experience time linearly, it should make sense!
