Placeholder textures aren't designed to look like final products.

You are defending it.

It's ridiculous to think they used only one genAI texture in the entire game that was thematic to the game, never addressed it, and assume that is the only time they used it.

They never addressed it, just got called out, released a patch that "replaced placeholder assets" and ignored it.

Them never addressing it is how they got away with it, honestly.

Posters in the starting city were genAI, yeah.

Like, I modded Cleo's stream today muted with closed captions on because voices.

Also, I know I'm smaller, so my words may not weigh as much, but I am cheering for ya in this.

It's stressful. I get it.

that's really all we can do, right?

There isn't really a fix other than deciding what's important to me, and in the end, I just wanna play games, relax, and show off indie titles to people because the lil guys deserve the world.

I don't have good advice for feeling better, but I feel you love to stream, and at the end of the day

I managed to get back to where I am now, averaging around 23. It isn't nearly what I had but at least I feel connected again...

Still, it mentally wrecks me time and time again that I haven't returned to who I was number wise, especially after years of being on Twitch.

And I decided I was gonna give it my all, grew, made partner, averaged around 60 viewers, felt amazing, was about to go full time.

Then Microsoft fucked everyone over...

I had 2 weeks notice and had to grab everything I could to get back on Twitch.

It wrecked me.

So, I think I can say I really relate to a lot of this. My follower count and my view count don't match very well, and I have a lot of doubt over if I'm good enough.

I started on Twitch before it was even Twitch. Grew. a bit but never really got past that 13 viewer mark. Then Beam(Mixer) came out

To me, "park bench" is a concept in games, basically the desire to sit down and just exist in a game world.

That vibe is important to me.

If people care about the video, they'll definitely call me on it, and that's fine.

Sorry, I'm annoyed.

This person has been jumping between channels for over a week leaving racist comments, getting reported each time, and just... Nothing...
