I started watching a woman play a game, and she talked allllll the way through the first few cut scenes about how much she never wants to have kids, and then asked what was going on in the game.... maybe if you PAYED ATTENTION TO THE GAME YOU'RE PLAYING you'd know that...

oof there's a streamer who like... I like her general vibe and attitude, she's not annoying to listen to, she plays the same type of games I do so I can get an idea of a new game before buying... but good lord, the number of times I've seen her just walk right past a thing you're supposed to pick up. Like, early game when everything really makes a difference, she's just blithely ignoring everything. And iirc she's also the one who, in a different game, seemed to just not understand the basics of game design. Like, the game had laid out VERY CLEARLY where to go and she's backtracking all over the place, going everywhere BUT where the visual markers are trying to lead her and I'm just like... wow, I guess literally anyone can become a video game streamer??

And I feel bad about it, because I don't think she's like... generally dumb! I wouldn't watch any of her videos if I didn't think she was a reasonably-informed adult person who could offer some information of value to me on the subject of video games specifically, but also like... presumably also she has a normal adult life outside of video games that she has in order? But like, how do you make playing video games your business if you don't understand how to play video games?

In my experience, streamers who live-comment do noticeably worse at getting item pickups. I figure it must be distracting coming up with what to say next.

Yeah, they're either distracted by their chat or they always have in the back of their minds something along the lines of, "can't be too slow, have to keep this interesting!" so they rush ahead because sticking in one spot too long might lose them viewers.

I get the chatting about random shit if the streamer is doing something monotonous like Pokemon shiny hunting, but that stuff has really made watching modern playthroughs less worth it. That and the player reading out every last line of dialogue and trying to do voices for the characters instead of actually commenting on what is happening, but that started a looong time ago.

Tbh I can't think of a single streamer or youtuber who doesn't have the issue of at some point not paying attention to a game mechanic, I think part of the entertainment comes from how that fuck-up goes, like does it become a funny bit kind of thing.

There was one streamer IO watched that was good at turn-based and RTS games but put him in a horror game and suddenly he had no idea how video games worked, it was wild.

everyone who plays Stardew knows you need to hoard at least one of EVERYTHING the first year due to the community notice board

How about you just stop watching the dumb bitch play then? It's not polite to back-seat game, darling.

(Anonymous) 2025-08-22 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's not backseat gaming if you don't go up to the streamer/LPer and TELL them outright what to do, hun.

(Anonymous) 2025-08-22 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think you know what back-seat gaming is, sweetie.

(Anonymous) 2025-08-22 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Especially since you don't even NEED to sell every last thing - it's really easy to get a lot of money in Stardew, no need to sell it all.

stop calling girld bitches

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this.
