I don't watch Twitch but the youngin's in my family do.

Female streamers don't have that fake obnoxious rage yell/scream the guys do.

Last streamer I watched by choice was Skyrim Grandma BTW.

The only "streaming" I can watch are Game Grumps, but I get that's not live, and it's by and for a completely different demographic.

I've tried, but I find a lot of Twitch play-throughs to be low-stimulation, low-information, and low-entertainment. I think they're better suited to a dual-screen kind of situation, but then I'd rather be doing far more engaging things like playing games myself.

I miss when GameGrumps wasn't so corporate

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I miss it too. If I had to guess, Arin sees a day with wall-to-wall recording sessions and meetings, and misses those chaotic early days.

I look at it this way: it's a lot less home-grown now that it's grown up. In exchange, they employ people, make Starbomb tours actually possible, and fund wildly off-the-wall games. Along the way, Dan was propelled into modest stardom, a lot of other folks from their camp got a boost for their endeavors, and they got to make some memorable moments with a few celebs. They're not at "Liquid Game Grumps" levels yet, but it's amazing to watch unfold. Maybe that's worth it.

Completely agree. Just missing the good old days of being able to make whatever joke/comment they found funny, advertisers be damned
