    Might as well just stream

    If you learn your ways of speech from streamers and YouTube videos, and all of them talk in 2nd person to their audience, then your learned language will sound very similar to the English you listened to.

    Chat, am I cooked?

    source
    • jballs@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      My middle-school aged kids explained the difference between cooked and cookin’ to me the other day, and now they really get to roll their eyes when I intentionally use them in as corny ways as possible.

      Bonus points for coming with other, terrible, slang. You can really get a cringe if you say something like "Chat, we’re cookin’ now - I’m all rizzed up”

      Clip that, chat.

    same but for everything in my life.

    i know, that sounds schizo as fuck, my dear chat members.

      I live alone, I too talk to the imaginary camera to keep sane. At least I think it keeps me sane.

      Thanks for the bits, bananaman66764.

        Ah see, I talk to my cat when I’m at home. It isn’t just me talking to myself, it’s enrichment for my little furry buddy!

    Isn’t that statistically what most twitch streamers do

  • dragonfucker@lemmy.nz ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Old people used to do this too. Back then it was called an internal monologue.

    If it helps you focus, it’s just another form of rubber ducking

    source
    • Comment105@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Rubber ducking? Is that when you tape a ducky to your fupa and dry hump something/someone to get the squeaky sound?

    I tried streaming for the first time over the weekend. Damn is it hard to keep talking for multiple hours straight. Especially when there’s zero messages in the chat. Streamers make it look normal but damn is it not

      Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That’s how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context.

      • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        But why? If you don’t enjoy it, why try to get into streaming? The chances that it’ll pay back for itself are incredibly small and it takes years of consistent streaming to get any kind of consistent audience.

        If you do enjoy it, then by all means, practice a bit so it gets more natural (and more enjoyable).

      do it for fun. I dabbled a little to no audiece, I just liked putting on a show. No one’s watching, well, no one listens to my music either.

    “Normal”? Probably.

    Good? Probably not.

      I don’t think it’s that bad if you’re trying to solve a problem

    I used to do this as a kid constantly before streaming ever existed.

    Taking a piss outside? Literally competing for the longest piss distance tournament and taking the gold.

    It’s probably fairly normal now, lots of people think about being a streamer.

    I have thought about showing off my gigantic single player creative mode Minecraft map through a live stream for years, I spent most of my free time over a decade of manually just building huge, huge structures.

    And pretending to show it off to a live stream, talking about it and explaining it makes it easier to remember what/why/how I built stuff…

      Anon wants to livestream

      You want to livestream

    At that point just hit record and decide later if you want to post some parts of it.

    Wil l help build confidence to start streaming.

    I did that when playing EU4 for some time. I have probably watched too many let’s players, lol.

      If you’re in the US, the NSA has your back. If you’re not, the NSA probably still has your back.

    I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.

      Your body adapted after realizing it was a total waste of energy?

      A less cynacle (however you spell that) theory might be it’s useful for language learning/practicing.

  • Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I think that’s just thinking out loud or talk to yourself. It’s another story if OOP overreact on every turn though.

  • IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Anon should just do a stream and do their best and hope one of the popular streamers/youtubers pity them and give them a donation and a shoutout to a massive audience.

    Pity views better than no views.

  • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Maybe not normal, but as long as you know that the audience isn’t there, it’s a harmless kind of weird 🤷

    So go for it, fake gay guy!
