This is done for one reason only: To make people envious of the drops. Seeing a rare drop pop up tingles people who are particularly vulnerable for that kind of things and cha-ching! Another purchase of in-game currency/lootboxes is in the pocket.

From someone who has only dabbled in watching streams for professional reasons, I think you hit it on the head with the former. You have to be engaging, and your game activity has to be interesting.

Doesn’t matter. My money is on the Merman.

Nice work not caring about things you don’t think affect you, even though you know that it may affect others! What’s that? Other people want things I don’t want? Too bad! I don’t care! That’s the spirit that this country was founded on! Yeah, and world peace: overrated! Hot take! Human life is cheap!

Outside of that who cares. Let them see my life. My boring facebook posts. My boring emails once and awhile. My youtube watching. Going to Kotaku. Even any porn I’ve looked at.

My hands are almost 8" and I feel the exact same way. The only controller that doesn’t feel uncomfortable after a long period of time is the 360 and one controllers. 360 controller is perfection, because the One controllers have weird bumpers.

For me it was Sabin suplexing the train. All his life led up to that moment and found the strength beyond that of any mere mortal from within. Brings a tear to my eye every time.

Fucking under the bed pissing

Rather then a show that simply makes fun of the game, and those that would play it, why not an American version of Game Center CX?

I suggest we start a petition to move the United States from Imperial to Fahey’s Head as our measurement standard.

Or there’s an open source solution:

Now we know what Bill Murray whispered to Scarlett Johansen at the end of that movie. “Bwoing! My butt’s itchy!”

Jynx never lied to us with a gender-neutral starter. We knew what we were getting: a man in drag with blackface.

Its JScript! There’s a couple quirks that are easy to learn but its literally just that.
