Chat, am I cooked?
It's fine until the audience starts talking back.
chat is this real?
I tried streaming for the first time over the weekend. Damn is it hard to keep talking for multiple hours straight. Especially when there's zero messages in the chat. Streamers make it look normal but damn is it not
Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That's how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context. But it is an old skill, as old as radio broadcast. Try acting monologues to yourself, it also helps.
do it for fun. I dabbled a little to no audiece, I just liked putting on a show. No one's watching, well, no one listens to my music either.
"Normal"? Probably.
Good? Probably not.
I don't think it's that bad if you're trying to solve a problem. Still, I would whisper rather than say it out loud.
same but for everything in my life.
i know, that sounds schizo as fuck, my dear chat members.
I watch you all the time, keep going FeelsStrongMan
I live alone, I too talk to the imaginary camera to keep sane. At least I think it keeps me sane.
Thanks for the bits, bananaman66764.
If it helps you focus, it's just another form of rubber ducking
Rubber ducking? Is that when you tape a ducky to your fupa and dry hump something/someone to get the squeaky sound?
I used to do this as a kid constantly before streaming ever existed.
Taking a piss outside? Literally competing for the longest piss distance tournament and taking the gold.
Are you still winning?
I would love for someone to listen to me talk
At that point just hit record and decide later if you want to post some parts of it.
Wil help build confidence to start streaming.
It's probably fairly normal now, lots of people think about being a streamer.
I have thought about showing off my gigantic single player creative mode Minecraft map through a live stream for years, I spent most of my free time over a decade of manually just building huge, huge structures.
And pretending to show it off to a live stream, talking about it and explaining it makes it easier to remember what/why/how I built stuff...
Anon wants to livestream
You want to livestream
You should both livestream
I think they'd make a cute couple
Which could make for a more lucrative live stream if they're into that..
Twitch doesn't allow porn.
Two platforms, double the monetisation of the things you enjoy until every single bit of your life has been consumed by capitalism.
Give it a few more years
Other places do, though.
I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.
Your body adapted after realizing it was a total waste of energy?
A less cynacle (however you spell that) theory might be it's useful for language learning/practicing.
Anon should just do a stream and do their best and hope one of the popular streamers/youtubers pity them and give them a donation and a shoutout to a massive audience.
Pity views better than no views.
I think that's just thinking out loud or talk to yourself. It's another story if OOP overreact on every turn though.
Maybe not normal, but as long as you know that the audience isn't there, it's a harmless kind of weird 🤷
So go for it, fake gay guy!
