Wouldn't be me. I don't like streams. When I've had twitch drops i wanted to claim I'd just mute the tab in the background to get the time limit needed.

I don't have the attention span for streamers. It's like golf. Might be fun to play but watching is another matter.

This, how people can find watching more entertaining than playing is beyond me. I tried watching people play my favourite games on twitch to see what it was like, I got bored out of my brains in minutes.

The closest I can do is watching gameplay videos on youtube, from people who do extremely creative things that inspire me for future playthroughs - but even then.

To y’all watching streams: I’m not judging you, you do you. I just don’t understand you.

Well, for example; I like to watch LeagueOfLegends streams but don’t like to play it anymore.

I'm 4 years clean from league and I still dream about it sometimes

[–] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

all ex-league players who i've spoken with (myself included) refer to league of legends and breaking free from it as if they were raised in a cult or dealing with life-ruining substance abuse that still affects them to this day
