it is stupid but we also enjoy watching people play sports If you like a sport you should practice it and not just watch it edit-late Larry gif
Ive never really watched his type of stuff but I'll occasionally watch people that are really good at strategy games I also play just for ideas. Civilization, AoE, stuff like that.
I want to judge but I watched too many videos of other people eating a ton of food in a small amount of time.
huge difference. I can't dunk or run a 4.4 40 currently. But I can easily kill someone playing a video game.
When I was a teenager, my dad once told me I was wasting my time playing video games and I'll forever blame him for me not being a top streamer today.
I know this is sarcasm but this would be so sad if true. Living vicariously through strangers is really sad.
you don't play video games at the same level that these streamer play video games just like you don't play football at the level that the nfl players play football
Yeah, all of the speculation around this stemming from his affair don't make sense. They already knew about that. Doesn't make sense.

This story is about as riveting as looking out of my window to see a squirrel run perfectly across a power line.
That’s their reasoning. I just find the vast majority of them corny af. I use the YouTubers for sources of information, weapon guides, map positioning....they lol and lol their goofy asses off watching them.
I can understand watching video games as entertainment but the part where you just randomly decide to give them money is where you lose me.
I'm just saying it's more impressive to watch athletes do something you couldn't ever do yourself no matter how hard you practiced just because they were naturally talented. Same with going to see concerts. With video games you can get a lot better just by playing them more often.
Maybe you fucking suck at video games and have to watch them to see how they should be played, but it's not impossible to get good at video games. You just have to put in the time to do it.
I don't donate. But imagine if you could donate to Lebron and ask him a question. That's how people view it.
Well then go pro, big guy. Sounds like it should be easy. That $22 million Dota 2 prize pool is waiting for you
You can also get a lot better at sports by playing them more often Is it your contention that the elite skill of professional athletes isn't a factor in why they're entertaining?
I don’t get it but that’s why I understand it. it’s like paying for porn. meh I am a UCLA and Denver Broncos fan. I literally think my old ass can literally do just as well as they do.
if you can watch someone like shroud play for five minutes and think you could just play a little more to get to that level you're delusional
idk what you do for a living or how much you make but you should just quit that and play games and stream since it's that easy to be on their level
Ok that makes a little more sense. From what I have seen it seemed more like a cam girl situation where they are just doing their thing and then the little cash register sound goes off and they are like ohh thanks 69bigdaddy69 you’re so sweet then move on with the rest of their routine.
No thanks you can have all that fun wasting hours of your life watching sexual predators play video games. Enjoy that hobby, it's really fucking cool as an adult to admit you do that alongside little kids.
some people donate that way but most of the time there is a tip note/question in the tip (which is just like cam girl stuff)
There's a ton of talent involved in being a successful streamer as well. It's not just a time commitment thing. There are thousands of unsuccessful streamers who spend hours broadcasting to six people
i like to watch story based games with boring ass gameplay while i play games with no story and more intetesting gameplay
so really your point is that you just don't care for the streaming platform (which is fine) and not that anyone can do what they do with practice (which is asinine) also fwiw I am not a gamer and I have zero interest in watching streams, feel like I need to get that out in the open for protection here
"Go ahead and enjoy wasting hours playing videos games, loser!" he said unironically for his 15,319th post on an online message board.
