I watch videogame streams, and I have a couple of broadcasters I like because they know how to have fun at a game :p

But there's some people who get all pissy about losing. I would love to broadcast one day, but I know that if I do I have to take myself lightheartedly. :p

And then there's myself. No real reaction to losing, but a win is like watching a hamster on meth.

If you can't have fun while losing, then you really don't need to be broadcasting how much you suck at a game until you learn how to.

If you're just going to use any form of social media or whatnot to humblebrag or attention whore, they need to stop using it.


Eh, I can deal with that.

I just can't deal with someone who thinks are hot shit and when they're losing they can't keep their cool. I have enough with me being that way when I was a child. :p

It'll be fine, I'll just be bored a lot, and have to hold my tongue a lot. I also won't really be able to escape to browse the internet or anything because grandma feels the need to be constantly looking over your shoulder whenever you're using any sort of technology, which is uncomfortable.

Tell her you're composing an important paper/email that's sort of a private matter for work/school. Should throw her off. Or give her own technological device and let her struggle with it. :p

That's hilarious. My minimal experience of raging gamers is from my brother playing CSGO (whatever it's called) on Steam with his friend of the unnaturally high voice, who is constantly insulted for being a "fucking squeaker" whenever he's on a good kill streak.

Let me elaborate. I remember this dream really vividly.

No species no what sleep is. They spend their entire lives dragging themselves about, constantly exhausted. Then one day a three-year-old falls asleep while eating dinner because he's really tired. During this time, the world is ruled by an worldwide authoritarian government that restricts people within an inch of their lives. The news eventually reaches the government which immediately creates the ISC. They create an extreme set of laws that all people must follow, and face huge prison sentences and fines if the rules are broken. For some reason, they were heavily linked with the Illuminati.

At this point I woke up.

It takes real skill to use the Neural Power Drill exactly right. Too many times we had to make it look like an accident when things went wrong. Grisly, grisly accidents. A lot of creativity was involved, also retching.
