>“My guess is that if you watch the same handful of people over time, you start to feel like they’re… your friends,” Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center in Newport Beach, California, said, with what sounded to me like just a hint of shade. But it’s true. I do want updates on these Internet strangers’ lives. How’s Katie’s dog Kodo doing? What does the EndGameBlues guy eat when he pauses for a 15-minute “meal break?” That’s not enough time. I’m worried about him!

Why do you watch vidya streamers? Is it because they're your internet friends?

I don't.

Is that supposed to be Lil Uzi vert in the pic?

I don't watch streamers

Yes. I have no friends in real life with any serious interest in videogames. I've also not many any new friends in over a decade and have no idea how I'd go about it.

We just had this thread like 12 hours ago

I know it's why I watch movies. I believe every actor is my close friend. Or maybe it's just entertainment.

My 10 year old brother and all his friends watch streamers. I'm 18 and most of the people I know watch streamers. Our generation loves streamers. It's cheaper and more interactive than television. Streamers are just going to continue rising in popularity. Hell, even my parents watch streamers now.

The only games i like to watch people play are speedruns. Ive watched the Siglemic SM64 speedrun a few times. Even then, most speedruns are boring because most games are pretty limited in what you can do strategically in order to get your time down. SM64 is special because there are ways the players play the game that the creators had no intention of.

I consider Sup Forums my "friends" (i.e. people whom I have positive social interaction with) and that's even fucking sadder than me, because at least I'm actually interacting with you cunts.

>always black man with white woman
>never white man with black woman

really makes you think...

>Cuck shit

That's fucking retarded.

Modern white women no longer desire white men. Nothing wrong with that.

You're my friend too, pal. Wanna go grab a bite to eat?

>the picture

WHAT COULD THEY HAVE MEANT BY THIS

Unless you're watching the film live from your PC and interacting with the actor at the same time from your keyboard, it's definitely not the same thing as watching a movie.

I just noticed the white guy in the background. That image is fucking hilarious.

There was a study showing that modern boys are becoming more and more antisocial and have little to no friends now.
The next generation will be full of friendless losers.

How does that make you feel anons?

I don't. It's retarded.

Good. Even easier to get chicks now with less and less competition.

It's not just boys, it's girls too. The internet is ruining social development. Mental illness rates are skyrocketing as well.

It just makes me fit in better.

Unless you're the top 10% you're not getting anything.

Good. More low esteem boys I can bully into being sissy trap sluts

because i have no interest in playing the game but i still want to see the game played, so as to pretend that i did in fact play it through to the end

as well, its "fun" (this is a term that doesnt exist on Sup Forums) to watch people who clearly enjoy what theyre doing

>black man white woman

What's up with america's cuck obsession?

That picture is my fetish dream. Shame girls don't even want to talk to me, let alone dress me up.
