I'm a big fan of Max Dood. Mostly fighters and Souls-like games. He's fairly chill and is super patient with difficult games and has an amusing relationship with his chat.

He still does Yo'Video Games on the weekends with his usual guys and they typically play beat 'em ups or do retro games. It's relaxing to watch high level game play with a laid back vibe and lots of amusing banter/chat.

Which is a reboot of or inspired by an old Dutch show called Ter Land, Ter Zee en in de Lucht (By Land, By Sea and in the Air) which started in the 70s (I think?) You also have events where they have to go through water, or over 2 wires, or just launch themselves as far as they can and glide (or a combination thereof) hoping to ring a bell at the end.

One of my favourite things to watch as a kid. It's just everybody having good wholesome fun and being excited.

I don't play dota but what's a" behavior score boost", is that a legit thing or am I thinking of some equivalent to a gold-farming service where a really friendly slavewage guy plays your account for a few days

Or is there an official "subtract 3 fucks and 4 n-words from my account" microtransaction

Dota 2 Behaviour Score boost is a process where a professional booster with a mental positive attitude will play on your account to get commends in-game. We only choose boosters who are kind and have patience so you have nothing to worry about your behavior score.

You are literally paying people to be nice on your behalf. Society!

Imagine being such an uncontrollable rear end in a top hat that you need to pay someone to pretend to be a nice version of you. Like, you recognize on an abstract level that it's possible to not be an rear end in a top hat, and that there are benefits to not being an rear end in a top hat, but you justy can't bring yourself to do it.

Its probably not from exactly that but there is/was a dutch show called "Ter land, ter zee en in de lucht" ("By air, sea and skies") where people made these kindss of contraptions to finish a specific course like that. Usually had some gimmick at the end like having to make a vehicle that can go down a ramp, cross some water, and then have the pilot ring a bell tied very high on a platform at the end, or cross a rope bridge and stop at the end of a platform before you tumble into the water. Mostly it was just back to back shadenfraude as cardboard go-carts exploded at first contact with water

We had something similar in Norway that I can't for the life of me remember what was called, but you had to pedal a little bike/float down a hill and a jump and try to get it across a small body of water. gently caress me what was it called?

I'll recommend pmcTRILOGY as a good, fun streamer because I can't think of many other streamers that would pause the stream to celebrate Kissinger's death with the chat.

They're also a fellow goon, so it's not exactly unexpected, and supporting "are troops" seems like a good idea.

Baalorlord streams Slay the Spire A20 runs, he knows a lot about the game and his audience knows a lot about the game and so his interactions with the chat are exclusively number crunching nerds number crunching together or everyone laughing as a team when the rng inevitably ratfucks him.

LobosJr is a fun streamer, does a lot of Souls/soulslike stuff but does other games as well. Friendly community and his mods are good about keeping people in line.

On Giuliani, it's funny AF and I read that he might file for bankruptcy protection which is also funny AF. Because I'm sure that all his finances are above board and to get approved you have to let someone go over your poo poo with a fine-toothed comb. Alex Jones tried that to get out of his 1bn judgement and ended up with InfoWars in receivership.

I guess I'll jump on the streamer rec bandwagon:

Skinnedteen is a very funny and non-toxic one. A lot of good-natured ribbing back and forth with her chat regulars. She plays a lot of weird janky games, retro shooters, horror, etc. Puts a ton of effort into the presentation of her content. And she's in that goon-compatible elder millennial age bracket and grew up in that same early internet culture a lot of us did, so she's just as exasperated about poo poo like Tiktok. (she's been dipping her toes into simultaneously streaming on Tiktok, and has gotten banned or suspended by their dogshit moderator AI so many times it's become a running joke)
