Isn't that statistically what most twitch streamers do
Software engineers call this rubber duck debugging
Old people used to do this too. Back then it was called an internal monologue.
....we don't all do this?
Might as well just stream
When I play wrestling video games at night, I turn off commentary and just do it myself. My daughter walked in on me and was looking at me like I was nuts
I sometimes do it while I work, talking like I'm recording a video tutorial.
I did that when playing EU4 for some time. I have probably watched too many let's players, lol.
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.
Ah see, I talk to my cat when I'm at home. It isn't just me talking to myself, it's enrichment for my little furry buddy!
If it helps you focus, it's just another form of rubber ducking
Please. Rubber ducking. Someone?
It's when you talk through a problem with an inanimate object, traditionally a rubber duck. The process of explaining the problem can help you organize your thoughts and identify otherwise elusive problems. It's a common technique used by programmers debugging their code.
Rubber ducking? Is that when you tape a ducky to your fupa and dry hump something/someone to get the squeaky sound?
No.
Chat, am I cooked?
Clip that, chat.
My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin' to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.
Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we're cookin' now - I'm all rizzed up”
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.
But why? If you don't enjoy it, why try to get into streaming? The chances that it'll pay back for itself are incredibly small and it takes years of consistent streaming to get any kind of consistent audience.
If you do enjoy it, then by all means, practice a bit so it gets more natural (and more enjoyable).
Share your twitch, I'll follow u
Lmao sure ♥️ https://twitch.tv/dginovker
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.
It's probably fairly normal now, lots of people think about being a streamer.
"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.
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...
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.
I'd always narrate what I was building with legos.
Title
Some kind of battle scene, inevitably. Sometimes a wall would be involved. Other times a bridge. Often both.
Are you still winning?
🤣 😂 😃 😐 🙁 😟 😥 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
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.
I think that's just thinking out loud or talk to yourself. It's another story if OOP overreact on every turn though.
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 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.
I would love for someone to listen to me talk
If you're in the US, the NSA has your back. If you're not, the NSA probably still has your back.
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!
