OK, let's do this...

I try not to overthink these things but truthfully 5,000 followers would feel like a milestone

Ask some questions in the replies. If I hit that 5k I'll finally do an honest-to-goodness YouTube video and answer them

*Flips off camera* :p

Exactly. I put out a question a while back and no one reported any major problem with being... umm... nonymous. My girlfriend will be going in front of the camera for a promo video soon so I motivated myself a little with the notion of solidarity

You must be confusing me with someone else, but thank you :D

I always wanted to be completely anonymous, but I can't keep that going forever. Ripping off the band aid *before* it holds me back

Wow, thank you! That's incredibly useful and I've saved it. It's always good to know what someone else would appreciate and it takes care of a big chunk of the second guessing. Thank you again :D

If it makes you feel any better I once grossly miscalculated while making cafetiere coffee. Long story short I drank something like 12 espressos in one go. I had an anxiety attack and the only way I can describe the ongoing feeling is that my blood was humming

This is what I wondered - if you engage will the next message be 'will u play my game on ur strem thx'? The fear of adding to that spam makes me shy of contacting streamers, but I have been told that there's a big difference between 'hi play game plz' and a thoughtful, respectful suggestion

I'm light on the block button, I'm fortunate to have not needed it much - I understand that's not everyone's experience, of course. I've had just a couple of obvious spambot messages (my favourite was being invited to join The Illuminati) but not the sort of 'hey wassup' that Robert describes

I don't seem to get these. Is it something that streamers tend to receive or am I just lucky/not cool enough?

Some might argue it was started by the crew in Payday: The Heist. But that feels unsatisfying as anything other than a fun riff. I prefer the idea that Keith somehow started it

Archangel Softworks - Wishlist Highway Noir! @archangelsoftworks.co.uk · 10h

Two separate discussions with @breckwilhite.bsky.social merged in my head and got me wondering

Remember Ellis's buddy Keith in Left 4 Dead 2? He attracted incredible bad luck, and survived countless incidents that would finish most of us off

Could he be an SCP?

Ha, smart move :D But I hate *listening* to myself too, so even talking on a podcast would hurt! This is how I get over it so I *can* do that stuff :) Full credit to you for being able to do it all this time. And thank you, you're the best!

a woman is smiling and holding her hands to her chest while saying `` aww thank you '' .

Do I need to change my attitude? -> "How come all the good things happen to Jesus H. Nice? By which I mean Flanders"

Eternal Skies? More like Eternal *Flies*... the Pride flag... because it's woke. It doesn't really work but I'm still mad about it!!

(Because it's easy to be misunderstood on the internet, I'm joking. This game is on my wishlist)

I do not like the sound of that. Not one bit.

In my experience the meds do help. They take the edge off enough to feel some relief and find that solid ground. Hoping for the same for you

I don't personally know about OCD but depression SUCKS. Sorry you've had that going on :( Feel better very soon

It's a lev-er, not a lev-it alone

(I realise this only works with the British pronunciation 'LEE-ver' rather than 'LEH-ver' and even then it's not exactly A material)

I wouldn't know how to get a game out on XBox, sorry! Modding them sounds pretty interesting though
