I just can’t get over the idea that the average streamer is expected to be on air for 8 hours a day. Not even old radio DJs or news show people ever did anything that long.

For porn however.......

I haven’t lost what’s it, but I do feel a ting of resentment against the whole “old things that are new again” and the fans of those things acting like it’s the best thing ever. Double so when they disregard what came before it.

Here’s the only part of the equation I don’t understand: Where the actual fuck are the people that give vTubers money getting that money in the first place?

Like, is this still “I don’t pay rent because I live in the parent’s basement at 28" or are people working actual jobs that take time and effort and then taking…

Seriously. I just turned 41, and I don’t understand the appeal of this at all. Is this how The Real World or Road Rules appeared to adults back in the 90s?

I mean... The edginess of it all was your first warning sign that you might be walking a tight rope on twitch. People shaving their eyebrows? ‘D-Pics’? the ability to temporarily kill the streamer? This is going to attract a very particular brand of twitch chat, and that chat is going to shape the community to one…

Based on the article and my limited viewing of Miko: I honestly don’t see this as the future of streaming or, really, an advancement. It’s just a slightly different flavor with the rigging that’s it.

Oh, BULLSHIT, they’ve been doing crunch for MONTHS on this game

So they should be working MORE than they should and miss out their time being with family at home, sacrificing their happiness just so the studio should get the game out ASAP in which should have been handled and managed better to begin with?

Are all the people who had to work their asses off getting to accept the awards, or is it just the handful of lead names taking the credit?

This is a bad take, coming from someone who works in a parallel industry ( with many of the same production problems ) where my job is completely reliant year to year on viewer ratings and episode reviews. Awards like these do not effect the vast majority of the people who contribute to these things and most places…

Also Animal Crossing where Nintendo delayed it because they don’t do crunch. They treat it like a 9 to 5 job as should be the standard.

I can guarantee you non of the people making bonuses off of this game are the ones affect by crunch. The ones getting the bonuses are the one implementing the crunch. That’s why they get the bonuses.

Video games want so much to be like movies in every respect, except when it comes to their labor practices.

Good management ability should be rewarded. If anything, that would send symbolic signals that hopefully will shift the culture of game development. Hearing how Hades was developed made me want to play the game more, and that is something we should promote.

That’s my point, though, and why I find it so annoying. When they said there wouldn’t be a grimoire in D2, they weren’t strictly talking about lore resources to read expanded stuff, they were talking about finding ways to better integrate that stuff into the interactive experience of playing RATHER than sitting in a…

Meanwhile, poor Ikora hasn’t had anything to do since Season of the Undying and building a Vex portal in the middle of the Tower. And Hawthorne hasn’t had anything new to say since D2's launch. Hell, they didn’t even bring back Nathan Fillion for Cayde-6's swan song in Forsaken - that was Nolan North, who does the…

Issues with the loot aside, I’m not particularly blown away by Beyond Light so far.

I’ll be honest. I love a lot of Destiny, but stopped playing when it seemed like they kept recycling the same old shit, and all my old shit started becoming useless. After maybe six months not playing the game, I came back and never felt like I could keep up with the meta.
