On a serious note, have any of my US friends noticed how thick ol Washingtons neck has gotten on the newer quarters? Got rid of his braid too.

      Building some kind of bond with a small British streamer and becoming his mod is pretty surreal for me in hindsight.

        That’s super cool. This is the internet we need

        Tbh I am not here because this site is superior or foss but because it is still rather small and thus maybe, maybe you can remember some names and have like healthier community. Feel more like in a virtual village than a sprawling city while still having critical mass of new content and at the same this village should be diverse enough to see various sentiments and experiences you would never knew

      True, I can see the appeal of small Twitch channels where you have a reasonable chance of actually interacting…

      …but so many of the larger channels …

      1. chat is literally an overwhelming barrage of randomness

      2. so, so many streamers develop gigantic egos, and then get into fights with other similar people.

      Kik is even worse. While many of the popular people on Twitch have serious personality disorders, Kik seems to legitimately just be streams of gambling and the worst person you knew in high school being paid to commit crimes.

        There is this whole group of crime, sociopathic streamers it’s disgusting. I hate to see many people enjoy those things and that I share the planet with them as they watch streamers beat up their moms or smh

        This is the filthiest filth out there you can feel. apparently some pay to feel that. Modern colloseums

          The 00’s internet had ogrish and bumfights.

          That shit was waaay more fucked up in terms of content, but it was also extremely niche.

          I have met tons of kids and young adults that act nearly identically to kik streamers or the more insane twitch streamers.
