besides existing not being a political issue, the twitch chat is so flooded with people that it actively bogs down my CPU usage so it's just easier to use the popout player if I want to be able to able to use my mouse

Man, I went Livestreamer this year because Twitch is being garbage and it's SO much better.

Twitch chat can be fun in the right situations, getting all upset about it is pretty silly

It's just some loving words on the internet scrolling by faster than anyone can read, if that truly upsets you then you have some issues

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It's worth noting that if you select Popout Player under Options when watching a Twitch stream you don't get Twitch chat either.

this is a terrible venue to discuss this, I'm pretty sure you guys are set in your ways of "words don't harm anyone" so it's a waste of time let's all agree twitch chat has a bunch of dumb teenagers and move on

It was kind of funny during Typing of the Dead with people just typing the phrases or commenting on how weird they got at times. One of those 1% moments tho.

Not insulting people is a political issue now?

Oh poo poo I'm part of the problem by going here.

I haven't even watched a live twitch chat since I found Livestreamer. When I start a VOD I see the chat record for a few seconds and it's enough. "Words on the internet" is a really stupid excuse, though.

Ironically, this game in particular was the one that got people to complain about the censorship because people were getting autobanned for typing along with the game

Guys can you please not spam the chat. My mom bought me this new laptop and it gets really hot when the chat is being spamed. Now my leg is starting to hurt because it is getting so hot. Please, if you don't want me to get burned, then dont spam the chat.

We always get a spike on the last day this is not new.

We were basically on pace with SGDQ2015 this entire time, give or take $30k.

Banned or timed out? For some reason Twitch chat users like to act like they are one and the same, when not being able to talk for 10 minutes and never being able to talk again are quite different things.

The commentary is good, but idk who is watching this except FF6 fans! Puwexil and Co know the game and loads of technical trivia.

that net miss just now reminded me of some FF run at a GDQ where someone was at like 10hp in the endgame and there were like 4 moves in a row where the boss kept missing the player's only remaining character and it was a rollercoaster of clenched assholes and he managed to clutch it out iirc. anyone know what I'm talking about?

The first FF4 run (back in 2011) we had the last character was down to about 20 hp and poisoned, but that's the only thing that springs to mind.

Charts like this is what I was missing out on not being more active in the thread this time around. I knew there's always a big burst at the end of the week, but I couldn't remember if it was $200,000~ big.

Out of grim curiosity I've periodically opened the chat window for a few seconds at a time throughout this whole GDC. In the last two days, I cannot think of a single time I've done this without immediately seeing hate targeting my demographic. That is not a loving "pet political issue." I don't expect it to change but gently caress if I'm not going to make fun of how dumb these kids are. When chat isn't throwing edgy jokes around, it's nothing but emotes and prepackaged lines repeated at a rate of 100 idiots/sec. You could not have picked a dumber thing to try to defend.

Twitch chat is never funny. It is actually boring and dumb.
