Today I had a guy (a body piercer, who apparently reads Kotaku occasionally) explain to me (a professional gamedev with 4.5 yrs AAA experience): 1. Streamers are bad for the games industry & are responsible for the "workplace displacement" that he reckons is happening in games.

I... what.... what exactly is it that he thinks streamers do????? Does.... does he think they're contractors making the game??????????????????

There are not enough question marks IN THE WORLD to suitably display my absolute bemusement at this.

That whole conversation made my eyes bleed. The fact he got so heated makes me laugh. Obviously has nothing better to do than attempt to win arguments

-
Oh my god he got so upset at me afterwards when I'd finally had enough and explained to him in one long message every way in which he was wrong... It was so poetic.

Amazing. I can look at any one of his posts and find something idiotic about it. :v That's not how the relationship between workplace laws and the gig economy works! Streamers *can't* contribute to dev turnover rates! What the fuck does "coercion does what coercion does" mean?!
-
How can my time be free and yet also wasted by this man? :p

What a wild ride... Glad to be off it actually, that was awful. For real though, poorest persuasive argument/attempt to woo EVER.

Yeah that was the thing, we'd initially matched on Hinge and migrated over to Instagram. This was all from a guy trying to get in my pants. Like... Seriously? You think you can woo a woman by insulting her job, her hobbies, her friends, and - not least - her intelligence?

Needless to say, he got upset & blocked me almost instantly.
