I know Rhett and Link. That is it.

I don’t know anyone in that image. Then again if you showed me an image titled “hottest 20 young music stars!” I probably wouldn’t recognize any of them either

Rhett and Link are the only people I know, and they've been "famous" for like almost 20 years?

Elajjaz has been doing a RE4 permadeath randomizer run for .. a week, two? now.

He is notoriously bad at throwing grenades in games.

Then this happened yesterday at the final parts of the last chapter. Can even see his chat talking about it as soon as he started using grenades.

You've never heard of Bonnie Rhett or Link Wray?!?

Only instrumental song to be banned on (some) US radio stations, way back when:

I left Twitch on all day in the background to collect drops and I assume viewers got dumped a few times to diff streamers, somehow I ended up with a gifted sub for an LGBTQ activist gamer.

Amazingly there is a way in the control panel to drop the benefits of a gifted sub and purge them.

Sounds like they need a negative sub button where you can pay twitch to deduct money from streamers.

Finally a pay to win I can get behind.

Beyond it never happening in real life, logically speaking even if somehow you could implement such a system without getting buried in lawsuits, all it would do is cause short term profits for Twitch and long term losses, even if the "anti-pay the streamer" people never did chargebacks. Short term profit because Twitch is basically getting double paid and you'd have parasocial supporters trying to counter people trying to punish their streamer (resulting in a "money war"), long term losses because people would just eventually swap to a platform that doesn't do that sort of bullshit (which could cost Twitch sub and ad revenue dollars)

I detest Hasan, but it was the comment section that made me share for the lulz. I actually have never had his stuff pop up in my feed before, maybe because of Asmon I got algorithmed.
