Depression

I am a streamer, though. I make over 2 grand every 2 weeks, and quit my job last year.

If I just want passive entertainment. I don't want to play vidya 24/7 and I don't have cable so I'll watch twitch or YT or something.

Vtubers are fun and wholesome

I just beat two games within the last two days. Get off my nuts.

Why should I stream?

To see what other players are doing and what to try out.

discussion about game is more fun than playing

Whats your secret user?

I play the piano while watching streams so I don't get bored playing the same thing over and dont need to pay attention to the stream much

Is that a propane powered rocket car

no you dont

I only watch two retarded streamers, and only when I'm playing a game like Factorio or Space Engineers where I just need background noise.

same reason i watch jeopardy instead of playing myself

I'm jacking off to them

>like watching a dude's vids on youtube sometimes
>try watching his stream
>close after 5 minutes
Shit is boring as hell I don't know how you zoomies do it

I'm at work and can't play.

Because i'm not gonna pay $150 or some bullshit to play on nopixel servers, and i'm not gonna sit in queue for 6 hours. So I guess I'll just watch.

>i'm not gonna pay $150 or some bullshit to play on nopixel servers
Holy shit for real? How are they that popular

You're retarded?

I play with myself while watching others

You have to be whitelisted for the main private server, but they have 2 public servers where the queue times are massive. Your choices are to either sit in queue for 6-10 hours or donate for A CHANCE at getting login priority. It's not even guaranteed.

Both tiers are pretty expensive. Over $100. The higher tier is even more crazy.

I already played it myself, now I just want to experience it again with a cute girl who's playing it for the first time.

>instead of
Do you even dual monitors bro?

They just feel so fake though.

I only watch super autists that have over 5000 hours in one game

because i've been depressed for at least a decade and all of my efforts to break out of it have been for naught

What the fuck else am I supposed to do while I'm at work?

Work.

My laptop sucks

Pardon?

same. i like zfg

It can't be bad enough to not be able to emulate 8 and 16 bit games.

Certain games just aren't fun for me to play. They can be fun to watch though if you find someone whose style/humor you really connect with.

Oh my fucking god WHY would someone pay for that

problem is that girls are terrible at vidya
so them failing basic shit for hours gets boring

I'm not good at em

You're watching the wrong ones. I know some pretty big brain egirls who really like to remind people she's big brain.

I only watch friends and stream for friends

is it even possible to have moderate success on twitch playing games if:
>you are not a woman
>you are bad at videogames
>you are not a degenerate
?

have a speedgame that attracts a loyal (autistic) fanbase
you can be an abrasive mongoloid who never even finishes runs and they'll show up every day

women have it easier to start off but rarely go past 1000 simps. men have a tougher time competing and being recognised to start but aren't stuck beneath a low ceiling

It's just like porn

because im depressed and nothing gives me joy, but i also need to kill time somehow

I hate eating while gaming so I just watch twitch since I feel like its easier to just watch, eat, go back to playing games than watching a movie or tv show than going back to the game

I only watch Twitch on my second monitor while playing something.

Women with 100 regulars can earn more than men with 500+ to 1K viewers

watching jerma play blood

No, you don't get to learn the personalities of pornstars but egirls we do.

I've been watching Britbong they unbanned his Twitch from back in 2017 he's pretty funny as fuck desu.

No games look fun i don’t even like what my streamers are playing, it’s over bros…

>why you watch others play instead of playing yourself?

i watched a streamer play all the Yakuza games & loved it.

However i know for a fact i would of alt f4'd if i was playing it myself.

I personally reported nopixel and take two did nothing, these fags scam people on the regular the guy even got blocked by paypal due to so many charge backs, scumbags deserve their server taken off.

Not if you get fujo bucks.

my twitch/justintv account is from 2010 and I have never paid for anything while watching almost daily

vtubers are just 3d with an anime filter slapped over. They are no different.

Mate the twitch hack showed the earnings from subs and I checked out my entire list of 7 streams I watch or turn on.
The young woman that barely breaks 100 when not raided or hosted or something earns more than men with 500+ and thats not counting the regular simps that are donating to her every month and on every special occasion.
She lives in Seoul, its one of the most expensive cities to live in in the world.

I'm just saying if men get fujo bucks they make some serious bank. Almost no western man gets fujo bucks.

I got two monitors but only one set of hands
it's great for slower paced or grindier games

I only watch streamers late at night when I've finished playing vidya.
