    Bro, preach. Definitely only need a quick clip for like, where is this item hiding in Elden Ring?

    Maybe helps that I still have a solid squad of irl mates I game with, but also don’t mind catching solo time on single players.

    I was dead fucking wrong about twitch tho. When it first came out I was like “who the hell is this for, younger siblings?” Like, why wouldn’t you just play the game yourself? Figured there’d be a lil niche for e-sport pro level scene, but twitch got way bigger than I ever would’ve thought.

    Saying all this as a mid-thirty dude who truly will never comprehend people who spend a bunch on twitchy

      It’s cool watching people of different skill levels than you, not just the pros I think. Also when people take on challenges that take a long time, you can kind of skip through the vid at your leisure.

      Plus sometimes you just don’t have the energy to game. It’s like Matt Groening said in that old Life is Hell comic (although about tv): Why is tv the best pal of all? When you’re tired, tv does the playing for you.
