Nah, fuck that, ill sit at home alone playing the game alone and have no fun. Its not like humans are social creatures.

How do you play an online multiplayer-only game alone?

Pedantry fell out of style long ago. You know exactly what he meant.

And you know exactly what I meant. How is playing a game with people somehow less social than watching a game with people?

Playing with randos online is not the same as playing and chatting with friends. You can't not understand that. You would have to be willfully ignorant.

Do people just use it for background noise?


I do this sometimes. I've gotten into FGO lately and I have a stream going while I'm playing a lot of the time. There are some streamers I just like personality-wise though and I'll hang for a while and chat.

And what exactly are the reasons that people tip? Is it because the streamer gives good commentary?


If someone's producing something you like, support it so they can keep doing it. It's the golden rule.

Well typically the people online are enemies and you dont chat too much with em. Being able to watch a live video feels much like a Skype call and gives much better pressence. Plus, in chat, you can discuss what the main player is doing with other viewers! Its like when 1 friend is playing street fighter online and the other 3 are on the couch messing around and watching.... much different than solo queue.

Also, as previously stated, most top streamers are extremely skilled and a lot are actual pros with sponsors. You can learn A LOT.

Ya feel me playa?

The original post you're white knighting was about chatting with randos.

You could just admit that you prefer watching to participating, despite it being the lazier, passive side of the hobby.

Chatting with random people is a very different affair from absolute silence from hostile randos you're in competition with. How are you failing to understand basic human interactions this hard?

Im an old man as well and I dont get people paying tips or whatever and it seems crazy some people make a living off of it, but while I dont really watch live streams I do put archived ones on pretty often... but just to have something on TV while Im wearing headphones and working out or as background noise/video while Im taking care of my infant daughter. I definitely wouldnt just sit down with the intent to stare at it for hours, though.
