Qapla' to a true warrior! :patriot:

This guy sounds like a burden and a liability, especially with his fiance-whatever directly threatening your paternity with some seriously damaging slander about how you take care of your kids. I'd be close to homicidal rage at that point myself.

I can understand a lingering sense of loyalty and pity where it involves an old friend that just became damaged or something. Just, seems Shmorky's gotten to the point where the directions he's taken his messed up life could gently caress up yours.

Why don't you just let him dangle on his own? Sort his own poo poo out? Not take you out with him?

Oh and my apologies at the lack of effort on pronouns.

Patreon is the logical endgame for subscription based content delivery and I'm glad that a lot of people play video games all day every day because people with real jobs have 3 extra dollars to waste a month to fund their favourite video gamer's dreams surrounding the job of game playing.

I still exist in a kind of la-la-land over this stuff. I'm perfectly aware that there are people out there who try (and a few who manage) to get their life's expenses covered by simply camming everything they do. As much as that is spiritually and morally vacant, I can never wrap my head around people who get away with it. Exactly how sad are the people who *really* make patreon and its ilk possible?

It's just so very hard to believe that someone would rather pay to watch "gamers" talk about games or "artists" trace anime than order a huge loving pizza and play games themselves. It's mind-boggling. It's dumbfounding.

on patreon there are a bunch of horsefuckers getting $32,000 a month out of about 9,000 rubes to produce a flash game about loving horses

what an age we live in

E: i guess they're doing something though, even if that something would have got them run out of most towns a couple decades ago

I didn't expect to say this, but: significantly less pathetic and annoying.

Also, you can usually watch it without pricing tiers and the people on camera have to run around when they're not talking instead of the cammer and the cammee sitting on their fat asses waiting for one side to go to sleep?

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

The only good thing about watching people play video games was that one stream where some pedophile looking guy was making fun of an equally (or possibly more) pathetic guy. It was some speed gaming event for charity.
