Why is Twitch so full off spaghetti? Fuck
Autism
That's why I never join a stream with less than 50.
>>319342195
That literally never happens with me. What games are you watching anon.
>>319342195
post the link
lets just join it for about 10 mins, make his whole week. then he'll never have viewers ever again.
I know that feel mane, it's awful when the fucking streamer calls out your name

This OP
Let's make him happy till he explores

>Can almost hear the tears shaking his voice as I'm probably his first view in hours of streaming
How often does this happen, anons? I wouldn't know since I rarely watch streams.
This happened to me. Fucker started getting hundreds of viewers after he did a give away. They stuck around too.
Hahaha oh man
What's with that cat's fucking nose?
whats his username?

Sounds like the spaghetti is strong with you too.

>>319343065
Those unpopular guys would be exactly the same if the had more viewers anon, they're all like that
>>319343065
Do you seriously expect a guy with 10k viewers to acknowledge every single one?
>>319343065
>>319343180
Not trying to promote here but I always watch this guy when a new game comes out that I'm not interested in enough to play it myself and the viewer interaction gets annoying as fuck some times like i just wanna enjoy the game
At least he removed the chat for the third campaign of starcraft 2
>mfw all those 1k donations
like what the fuck?
>>319343180
Maybe the reason they will never be popular is because of how personal they try to be with each viewer, which drives off people like the OP?Who am I kidding? All streamers are attention whores who want viewers to pay for their hobby.

I don't have a twitch account, do I still show up in some kind of list of viewers?
>>319343065
Streamers are annoying when they welcome every new viewer. I've been watching Creative streams lately, and I really just want them to shut up and create something. They all spend 90% of the time talking to chat.

>>319343616
It can be a pretty good way to see if the game would be something youd enjoy before buying it
This used to be solved with demos, but now we gotta use people
>>319343616
Yeah let's watch promotional bullshits and trailers instead, they're so accurate, right?

When I stream I usually try my best to just ignore new viewers so as to make them feel like this. I know I would hate it if this happened to me.
>>319344143
>a bro has a game I am interested in
>ask him to stream it for me
>he plays the game while I get to interact with him and ask questions
Streaming has it's place, but it shouldn't be the popularity contest that it has turned into.
Oh no I love the attitude of those comfy streams with 10-20 viewer circlejerks who all know each other, playing multiplayer games together and fun things like that. If I just want gameplay I'd go to YouTube and watch some commentary-less gameplay, twitch is more of a social thing.
>>319342741
Stung by a bee.
I feel bad that that people actually find video game streams interesting.
Youtube and movie streams are where it's at.
>>319342195
>Can almost hear the tears shaking his voice as I'm probably his first view in hours of streaming
Give me the link to channel right now family I want to go there and bully the shit outta him now. He sounds like a prime target for cheap laffs

Not since they added the mandatory 20 second latency.
Just went into a 0 viewers FF7 stream, dude seems alright

>>319344551
I grew up watching my brother play video games. We rented countless games over the years and most of them were single player so I just watched him play. So watching streams isn't that different.
>find Youtube channel with hundreds of videos uploaded over the years
>none of them have more than 20 views, most have 0

It's fine as long as they're having fun, I guess.
Fuck off with this "post link" shit, you can find your own people to bully if that's what you feel like you need to do.
>>319345002
You know you could just play those games, right?
I understand watching someone else as a child, I had my buddy play through RE because I was a pissy little baby and couldn't cope with the spooks.
A game not fun enough to play isn't worth watching.

Yes, and I can also watch them.

I don't know whether I should feel sad for these guys, or just content that at least they're happy with what they're doing.

I realized my mistake and took the stream down, haven't gotten over 5 viewers sense.
I still don't understand what some people want and look for in these streams, if you don't talk or have cam they won't watch. I don't get it, is it supposed to fill some kind of friendless void?
>>319342676
I made the story up, sorry
>>319346812
pretty much
>>319344551
I watch Civ5 streams because I'd never have the time myself to commit 6-8 hours straight for a full multiplayer game. The beginning is always nice to watch, then skip the boring parts.
>want to start streaming
>have no idea what game would be interesting and attract viewers
I can't even find a game to entertain myself nowadays. Anyone have suggestions?
>>319346812
People like to feel like they have friends. If you can get 3-4 vaguely entertaining people together for a single channel, you can make a lot of money.
>>319347303
Any game that allows full interaction between you and the small crowd of people watching. Try Manhunt, Postal or some other shit that you don't see a lot of.
>>319347303
Barotrauma will become a meme game soon enough.
>>319347303
Some people like to watch streams of newer games so they can see if they might like it.
>>319344924
I want a link to that friendo
>>319347303
Its best to start with an older game you like and know well so you can talk about it
POST FKEKING LINKS
>>319343989
I don't know how people manage to get no views on YouTube. I posted a shitty webcam recorded video of a Mario Maker level and it has 500 views, and some of my random ass WoW videos got to 1,000-2,000
>>319346812
People have different reasons for chiming in. Some like the feeling of enjoying a game with a group of people. Others just want to be entertained and treat it like a comedy show.
Sometimes there's streams stuck with a set amount of viewers because they formed a community around it. It's a little like those forums people used for a subject but ended up sticking around because they grew into it and liked talking to the people there.
>>319347851
I tryed to post a link but the fuckin spam ilter is brutal.

Vidya streams would be better if chat was over mics, imagine the streamer having to scream to be heard over all the memeing kids.

I don't understand how Twitch got popular. I just don't get it at all.
Everything about it seems terrible. I can only imagine the people who regularly watch other people play video games are mostly underage or have aspergers to the max.

Well what is he going to do? He has to start talking about something. And you just came on so it would be weird not to say hi.
>I just want to see the gameplay
Then why not look it up on youtube?
>>319342195
haha look at that cats nose.
