I don't recall him defending andrew tate, he was pretty transparent about being excited about his arrest because it would be great content, that dumb tate guy gets a lot of eyeballs whether it be hateclicks or chuds

I used to have this vague notion of wanting to try streaming and leveraged 2020 to procure enough hardware to be able to do it... only to realize that not only would this fundamentally change my relationship with the games I played because of the implications of monetization, I also didnt want to do it for hours at a stretch or have to generate interaction and commentary while doing it And I guess some people get over it or revel in it but the first part undoubtedly still happens and they end up chasing content, and that can have detrimental effects

yeah, everything including our dumb stupid goon hobbies have been commodified to the point where it's hard to even enjoy a videogame without wondering whether you're missing out by not uploading a clip of your bg3 character getting blown tf up by an explosive barrel

Also no matter how funny you potentially are, streaming is like: "Oh hi pooplord654, thanks for the two dollars. What's my favorite ps4 game and what do I think about the war in Ukraine?

I tried streaming Dwarf Fortress a few times, first time out I had a really nice time and had a pleasant chat with the three people who stuck around for the two hours, the next two sessions it was just me, which was disappointing after putting in the work to make the stream look and sound semi-competent. I haven't bothered since. I imagine there's some sweet spot where you're not sitting alone on webcam talking to no one and having so many people in the chat that it becomes impossible to follow or police, but gently caress if I'm going to try to find it. It also struck me based on the state and decor of the bedrooms of big streamers that I have the exact opposite personality and aesthetic sense to the sort of person who does well on Twitch.

many streamers are of the mindset that their job is so important that they couldn't possibly take fifteen to twenty minutes to make some food themselves; no they absolutely need to doordash everything for the rest of their lives seems like a fairly important life skill idk

Kinda bizarre that Steve's video was pulled as I consider it definitely on the dry side, and not even just for him. Speaks to his integrity and further pushes back on the 'drama' accusation by holding off on it for a while longer though.

RGB? Seriously? That’s some low effort. “R is for retro The games mom and dad used to play” Is the easy, low hanging fruit. Other options include raster, reload (as in save), respawn, refresh, rate, ribbon (cable), RAM, I’m sure there’s way more

Don't forget that most top streamers are so dys-functional that they hire people to clean their filthy houses for them as soon as they're making enough it. They also tend to think that they're entirely self-made, which is ironic because usually the only self-made streamers are trans folks. kliras posted:yeah, everything including our dumb stupid goon hobbies have been commodified to the point where it's hard to even enjoy a videogame without wondering whether you're missing out by not uploading a clip of your bg3 character getting blown tf up by an explosive barrel

Eh if the video is really "why we did or didn't reach out for comment," just seems like a reaction to a petty response in the first place. That video isn't going to change anyone's mind. Anyone who is legitimately holding that opinion isn't doing it for valid reasons, just purely emotional ones.

I thought the video was interesting to give their ethics statement and provide examples. Also to introduce their revamped website! As someone whose job it is to test hardware it’s neat to see how others do it and what I could learn from them. Cool seeing they use the same open chassis cases that I have bought a lot of in the past (from here).

Clarifying your channel's policies and how it approaches its subjects is a net positive that most would be well served to follow, the fact there are idiot fanboys online should not factor into being upfront with how you run your business. The very reason Steve is held in a higher regard is because he takes this stuff seriously, which that video is just more evidence of. From others it sounds like he's retooling it to be more of a GN mission statement and not tie it into the recent controversy regardless.

Met Paul and Kyle today in a park in socal. People really lucked out since the crowd was small. A bunch of GPUs and mobos went for $10-40 because it was DD4 or 2070 super. Pretty bizarre to see Kyle with a cardboard box trying to get someone to give $15 “for the kids” for what was all at one point probably pushing 400 bucks. All the money was for charity. 10/10 would meet strangers with hardware in a park again. spunkshui fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Aug 28, 2023 |

I remember when Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (old rear end ascii roguelike) first rolled out a streaming web client. It was cool as hell, I could spectate on pros and sometimes folks would drop in while I was playing and give me advice  SA was super active too, the thread organized teams to participate in contests so we could cheer each other along. I think we tend to forget stuff like that and get caught up shouting ‘get off my lawn’ at the biggest twitch channels because they are all incredibly obnoxious. There are a bunch of smaller chill streams which are pretty wholesome. Chat is a good barometer. If folks are communicating in a good natured friendly way, the streamer is probs ok.

DoombatINC posted:For some years I worked an office job where a Costco membership recruiter would come by once a year and fish for new members / renewals. When he showed up it was always with bulk packs of cookies and soda, as well as 6+ pipin' hot pizzas. I talked with him about the gig once and apparently it was the greatest job ever by his measure - every day he went to a different office where he was treated as a returning king, because everybody everywhere secretly wants a surprise pizza party. I work in a very small, very expensive field and people always look at me like I am loving nuts because I didn't go to the free dinner at a 5 star steakhouse to hear how MetalSuperTech had introduced a new alloy that greatly increased the efficiency in the extraction phase of reagents in the precursor of some chemical tangentially related to some product we use. Like, they get so loving excited about eating a $80 meal for free while some some metallurgist drones on about using copper instead of nickel in a device they don't even know exists much less have any purchasing power over.

I get the same poo poo constantly from vendor reps at my workplace. "We should figure out a time so we can all go for a dinner!". gently caress off, I don't even want to be here at work, the last thing I want is to take work into a social setting. One particularly persistent rep kept asking every single time they came in, so I said we should just keep it low key and maybe go to McDonalds. They stopped asking after that.
