If it helps you focus, it’s just another form of rubber ducking
Rubber ducking? Is that when you tape a ducky to your fupa and dry hump something/someone to get the squeaky sound?
Please. Rubber ducking. Someone?
It’s when you talk through a problem with an inanimate object, traditionally a rubber duck. The process of explaining the problem can help you organize your thoughts and identify otherwise elusive problems. It’s a common technique used by programmers debugging their code.
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!
It’s fine until the audience starts talking back.
chat is this real?
chat, are you real?
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. But it is an old skill, as old as radio broadcast. Try acting monologues to yourself, it also helps.
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).
Chat, am I cooked?
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”
