Are they still doing that one?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No clue. My GF cheated on me and i kicked her out last spring and my life has been blissfully TikTok-free ever since

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s fucked up that she did that so I’m sending love.

But being tiktokless is a form of love in and of itself.

My wife is Chinese, so I get three different audio layers mixed together to, I assume, fool the detection algorithms. One of them is the dialogue but it's sped up 200% because nobody ain't got time for that. It's a fucking audio nightmare.
I'm getting her Airpods.

How do we teach people to start using headphones.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (5 children)

How do you wear headphones while you're trying to sleep?

(I assume the person is watching this in bed and sleeping during it)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I need sound while I sleep, my wife doesn't. So I have a headband that has Bluetooth headphones in it specifically for sleeping. It's pretty comfortable and I get to snooze to whatever I want. Before that I had some low profile buds that I used, but the band is much more comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can I get the name of that headband? I have the same situation.

Normally? Not sure what sort of headphones you're thinking of.

I was actually really surprised my nvidia shield lets me pair up a Bluetooth device for audio i imagine its not a common feature

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I would be surprised if a device that plays media didn't support Bluetooth. I have a Bluetooth speaker hooked up to the firestick and use headphones with the Nvidia shield as well.

Does anyone know which game this is?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Grand Theft Auto. It’s actually really good twitch content, I’d say some of the best if not the best content on twitch. Cornwood is a pretty funny character

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's like soap operas of twitch. It's fun to watch, but dont go full psycho invested in it though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah just view it as fun, some viewers want their streamer to “win”, but there is no winning in roleplay. It’s all for fun, and if you had fun watching then your streamer won

It's basically improv comedy with a heavily modded GTA V game as the driver and visualization for it. Especially funny when they have to roleplay away glitches or misclicks

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Exactly this, it's basically GTA5 private servers with fully customised game mechanics and strict rules around conduct where you're playing a character in a realistic setting, like an actor of sorts. It's big money for the people who run these servers too, especially NoPixel which is the most popular streamer server and difficult to get whitelisted on.

Rule breaks, for example not fearing for your life and acting appropriately when in a dangerous situation are potentially risking a ban. There is a full set of laws and police, judges, lawyers and a whole court and prison system modded into to deal with criminals with players roleplaying all of these roles. There's a hospital, ambulances, doctors and you have to get someone else to call 911 to have a paramedic drive out and rescue you if you die.

It's honestly impressive how much and well modders have modded GTA5 over the years. If you wanna try it yourself download the FiveM client and there are hundreds of servers you can join and play on.

Be warned though, just like older games with private servers (like old Battlefield/CS ect games) you are ultimately at the mercy of whoever the admins who run them are and sometimes these can be interesting individuals. Rockstar recently bought out the FiveM platform but they have no real control over what these private individuals do short of banning the whole server from the platform which rarely happens.

Ironically it's the opposite here, my wife finds new twitch streamers to watch at night :p

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My wife has been watching twitch streamers for about a year and a half now. I just sent this screenshot to her because I know I've heard her mention Cleatus Cornwood while telling me about the nonsense they get up to

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

GTA RP is great. It's like Tom Goes To The Mayor but 100% improv.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Im a big fan of Northernlion, so much that is basically the background sound of our house. During the pandemic my wife went to her family home for vacation and got stuck there for months when all air travel was shut down and she started to watch him just because his voice made her feel in hom.
