I would need to make streaming an already accomplished full-time thing before I could ever dream of that possibility.
You have to start somewhere

Many of the streamers today started from nothing

They streamed every day even when nobody was watching

They built up a brand

Binding of Isaac is so tedious when I'm relying on the RNG.

Restart, shit items, restart, shit items, restart, shit items, restart, shit items, and so on.

You finally got some good items? Well here's a heap of shit items, that is, if you make it that far without being killed by some unavoidable bullshit.

I just want to play the game.

But no, we have to constantly give you useless items, causing you to constantly restart your run because no matter how good you are, you can only get so far with shit items

Not only am I reliant on the RNG to give me somewhat decent items, the boss I want to fight requires two key pieces that you can only get access to via RNG.

The game literally decides if I even get the chance to fight the boss. That is f***ing stupid and makes me not want to play.

After beating that boss, I've completed the hardest character in the game.

Ironically, after all that bitching about RNG, I won because I had an item that gives me a 50% chance to be resurrected and the RNG let me use it 4 times

I barely care about baseball and yet this whole "unwritten rules" stuff is such a crock of shit.

Is there a mercy rule? Is there a rule against celebrating? No and no, so shut the f*** up.

Imagine getting upset at your own players because the game is a blowout win but they want to keep competing. How stupid.

Trying to figure how to open up communication with my old boss without it feeling like "Hey, remember when I left for greener pastures 8 years ago? Well, those greener pastures have dried up, so I'm back."

As shitty and awkward as that conversation will be, like f***ing hell am I going to sit idle and let one of my current coworkers get my old job

I feel like a phone call would be better than an email, but I'm just struggling with how to bring up the downsizing without coming off as desperate.

I definitely shouldn't frame it as me asking for my old job back, but just touching base to let him know I'm still available for part-time work doesn't sound terribly awkward

I don't understand why I'm being hated on for watching recorded hockey where I can just fast forward through ads and stoppages in play.
