            My guess is the parent comment didn’t have markdown list formatting and improper newline formatting at first, so it appeared as on line for a bit before the commenter edited it, but he just responded snarkily instead of being like “hey your markdown formatting borked here”

              I agree with your guess, and while you say snarkily, I read it as a light hearted jab at the absurdity of the situation.

              Relaying meaning, intent and emotion over text is hard.

                  Can’t win them all I suppose! Had a similar thing happen to me recently, and trying to add nuance or explain yourself is usually frowned on for some reason, so it’s best to just move on. Hope your holidays are treating you well!

          I genuinely try to add to the conversation whenever I comment and avoid “this” style comments. I don’t necessarily do a great job based on my comment history.

          But I have to say … This comment was brilliant.

    Basically what I’ve seen everyone stream on Twitch throughout the year.

      Well yeah, twitch tends to stream popular games, because that’s where the demand is. And that tends to add more demand, thus more streamers.

        It’s a constant Circle though, they stream what’s considered popular but because they stream it more people play it which causes it to be even more popular

        Look at lethal company as a prime example of that, if streamers never took that game it never would have gotten anywhere near the publicity that it did

          And I think that’s cool. One of the games I love (EU4) likely wouldn’t have stayed relevant for so long if it wasn’t for twitch streamers.

          I don’t watch much twitch, but I think it’s cool that it helps keep games alive. I’m not into the more popular games (esp. FPS), but there’s a lot of communities that are kept alive by a handful of prominent streamers.
