Spwerms, I am gay, it feels good. The groups reactions. Everything was so perfectly unprepared.

With Ratfish parodying The Circle we now have an official pattern! Three Game Changer seasons in a row ending with a reality TV show parody. This poses the question: which one should they try next??

Personally I’d love to see them fire up the SAMazing Race, and styling it after that show. A few teams have to race around the city, maybe getting clues and challenges from other Dropout regulars, a-la the cameos in Deja Vu. I know this would probably be VERY expensive to pull off, but I think it’d be crazy fun to see them mess around with, and I’d love to see the Game Changer team make some crazy Amazing Race style challenges.

But what others would you like to see?

I'm sure that Hanks stand up show is insightful, hilarious and amazing. But with my wife being 5 years into cancer treatment it's sort of hard to see the show title when we sit down to relax. Sort of torpedoes the evening a bit.

I hope that someday we are in a headspace good enough to watch it, but in the meantime is there anything I can do to hide it? Or at least take it off my big banner at the top?

Thanks.

So, we've all been there, right? You're binging a show, totally hooked, and then BAM! Canceled. Talk about a TV heartbreak. 😭

I've been thinking about all the shows that got axed way too soon, and I'm dying to know - which one do you think REALLY deserves another season?

For me, it's gotta be:

1. Mindhunter - The psychological crime thriller that left us wanting more after two seasons

2. Santa Clarita Diet - The quirky zombie comedy that ended on a cliffhanger

3. Utopia (UK version) - Conspiracy thriller with a cult following

4. Prodigal Son - Canceled after just two seasons, leaving us with so many questions!

Look whose in the new Lexus hybrid commercial on TV

So I'm not scared of death,actually I find it very comforting and I wanted to make a playlist based off this idea but all the songs are depressing. I've found a few good ones and ones that fit my theme but there's only about 10 so far.

I've been struggling to find anything that's good which is why I came here.

Edit: I've just reread my post and I can't tell if it's obvious I'm looking for non depressing songs? Sorry if it is but I'm autistic and I think I may have phrased this a bit wrong.

My partner and I are avid watchers, but don’t often come into the fandom spaces- when we saw that Droupout dropped a trailer weeks ago that mentioned seeing/documenting more live comedy, we were exited and a bit misguided. When we saw “Get Your Act together with Hank Green” was 8 minutes long and an interview, we figured we both got the vibe of the trailer wrong. I thought we were getting a short form interview series and… that was it. My partner did better than me, but still assumed that we were going to get the full specials after several months. We had a good laugh once we realized!

Is there a world in which Dropout, or the individual Queens who performed each song, release their tracks on a streaming platform?

I've tried checking dropout on Spotify and looking up the Queens names but to no avail.

Does this yet exist?

My channel growth has been slow but steady and I average ~15 viewers per stream. I'm used to reading every single comment from my viewers and am genuinely interested in how their days are going and what's going on in their lives if they choose to message that in the chat.

Recently, my mod's partner (a long time viewer) messaged me and said:

"I hope that you can have more control over your stream instead of letting chat do / demand whatever they like because they want the airtime. I love that you want to give everyone the attention that they deserve but sometimes I feel bad for you because it's still your stream, not theirs. And I'm saying this because I want you to have a fun community and grow as a streamer. I love you and I'm coming from a place of support so I hope you don't take this the wrong way"

My mod messaged me right after and said:

"What do you think about [the above's] opinion on the matter? I really do think you should just stop being a pushover. imo you're too nice man. you're such a nice person and it kinda sucks just seeing people push you around. so we know the problem [referring to my niceness]."

I never realized that what I was doing on stream looked like I was being pushed around. While I very much appreciate the feedback that my viewer and mod gave me, it makes me feel like I've been streaming wrong this whole time. A lot of my viewers are younger because they came from my TikTok page, so that could be a reason why they want more attention or don't really know Twitch etiquette.

One example they mentioned was that one of the viewers sometimes mentions their kinks in the middle of our chat as we're talking about game characters. I have never felt uncomfortable about the way they mention some of their kinks (I make jokes about feet all the time) but my mods said that talking about your kinks is not cool.

While I understand that the comments from my mod and viewer are coming from a place with good intentions, I do feel a little disrespected by my mod. It kinda seems like there was more of an emphasis on me being the problem vs coming to a solution together. Am I reading too much into this?

TLDR: My mod says I'm a pushover because I read every single chat and don't time people out when they talk about topics that are not relevant to stream or are trying to get my attention

UPDATE:

I have unmodded my mod! NOT because of what they said, but because I need to learn how to handle these situations by myself without needing to rely on someone else. I also need to be more comfortable with timing people out or calling them out respectfully, so this is my own decision. We still have a good relationship and should I ever need a mod, they will be first to pick!

EDIT: I've created some new chat rules so everyone is very clear on what is OK and not OK in chat!

CHAT RULES

Before you chat, consider the following:

• Is the comment related to what's happening on stream?

• Is the comment something all viewers can discuss?

• Is the comment part of fostering a positive community?

If your answer is NO to all questions, do not message it.

DO NOT:

• Make everything about you or monopolize the chat

• Ask the streamer to check a DM from you on stream

• Repeatedly ask for the streamer's attention

• Troll - spamming viewer attack items, chat messages, etc.

• Trauma dump

• Send links

How's this?
