>>7400849Checking the front desk for Shimabed since I've missed bloody everything today and was looking to do the one thing I try to do every time I see him, and I sees a surveypost so I responds.
1) Any kind of stream where the chuuba gets to go on a passionate, often incoherent rant about something they greatly enjoy. Sometimes its games, sometimes its between songs in karaoke, sometimes it's the pre-content warmups, it's always fun when someone really gets to go off in an excited, happy way.
2) Gotta be singan'. Can't have enough singan'. Especially because I can't carry a tune in a bucket, despite trying.
3) It's gotta be Caleb's absolute bugheaded stubbornness to tackle Soulslikes with a big beefy blocking build, even in games where the directors very obviously wanted you to flippyninja around like a pansy. Him slogging The Surge despite all efforts for the devs to invalidate blocking builds made his reaction to The Surge 2 fixing their shit all the sweeter.
4) Seeing them have an obviously bad time. It's one thing to get stuck on something with ribbing from chat making them grumpy, its another entirely when you can tell the tilting went beyond the game and something has soured the mood completely. At that point, it'd probably be better for them to swap gears and do something that they know will perk them up, be it silent music appreciation or watchlongs of doofy youtube videos or even calling it early with a "gonna go make a happy" message.
5) I'm still waiting. Might be my life circumstances, but THE ONE hasn't punched me. I want several to make it, and have rantposted a few times for them, but there isn't just one.
6) Painfully tough. For a spread of content, Caleb, Eira, and Nyaru probably.
7) Hybrid. Severe social anxiety, lingering effects of lurking here for more than a decade, and a dash of probable tism make for a potent mix. If some critical threshold is breached, I like to chat, but fear of sperglording out, knowledge of having to leave soon, cringeploding for (perceived) sperglording, and misc other things stay my hand.
8) As much as I can hope to be. Taking each day as they come. Summer fucking off would definitely help.
