I know a lot of people will disagree, but I don't have anything against singing in GDQ's if they can actually sing.

The anger over bits thing seems like nerds being angry about everything for no real reason, less twitch bans donations otherwise. No one is holding a gun to their head to use them but their simple existence sending people into that kinda tizzy is just typical :jerkbag:

Twitch Bits are apparently $1.40 for 100, and 1 bit = 1 cent for a streamer. PayPal margin is supposedly 2.2% + 30 cents so it's probably...close? assuming Twitch isn't also taking a cut on the back-end, so it's really just Amazon trying to get in directly on action that's already happening. Y'know, like allowing operators to charge people to access private servers in the game you develop, or something.

If you're buying a dollar at a time, sure.

If you're spending more, PayPal becomes a much better deal than Twitch Bits, even with their discounts.

He's stupid rich now, which means his opinion is automatically valid, regardless of the subject matter.

He used to donate money but no more! He's done with giving money to people! Or something? I guess? He's a big baby.

He made a very popular video game, and that's gone straight to his head and he thinks he has insightful things to say. Instead he's just a typical nerd who lucked into literal billions.

The guitar helped. Without feedback or an instrument to compare against, most vocalists have a hard time staying in tune. He did fine.

Notch got that thing that happens to some lottery winners where they're suddenly stupid rich and have no idea what to do or how to connect with other human beings and then they have an existential crisis and go full sadbrains.

Only he's also a massive nerd so his breakdowns are internet famous.

This and also the setup. It was not a whole crowd trying to be picked up by these small mics and headsets, but a musician with a nice mic. Also he was really into it.

Games done QUACK! Disney Block's getting better and better.

Also nice chemistry between runner and couch. I like this run already. :)

Well duh, but he sold it so he's no longer involved in whatever development it still has. If he's not working on anything else I dunno why anyone would particularly concerned with his opinions on, well, anything.

I mean I'm not gonna blame him for not donating when he's already given a lot. I don't get why he felt the need to try and justify this with that Twitch nonsense.

If you must blink, do it now.
Look at this game,
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you say that my playthrough's complete?
Wouldn't you say I'm the guy...guy who's done everything?

Look at my high score, top of the list
Who do you know who's placed higher than this?
Lookin' around here you'd think,
"Of the Kong, he's king."

I've done arcade cabinet clears on a penny.
I know secrets and pro strats galore.
Oh a bonus boss? I've fought twenty.
But who cares?
No big deal.
I want..moooore.

I wanna go where the out of bounds is;
I wanna glitch, wanna see games broken.
I wanna win by exploiting, oh, what's the word?
Fraaaames.

Out where they run, out where they skip,
Out where they reach the skybox by clip,
Speedrunning free,
Wish I could beat
Their world recooooord.

I know the song ended like 10 minutes ago but once I've committed to a terrible idea I try to see it through to the end.
