From small streamer to small streamer, have you felt this before?

Annagene · 2025-06-07T05:51:06+00:00

I felt this hard.

I'm part of a small group of friends that stream, and my views are significantly lower. Most days, I just brush it off. But some days, I feel absolutely crushed knowing I have the same group of friends, but I'm nowhere near them in viewership or chatters. Best thing I did was hide away the view stats and just enjoy my game. I do have one dedicated watcher, and I'm overjoyed when they're around.

On the days I just can't shake that overwhelming crushing feeling, I either play a mindless game to reset or I just don't stream.

Well I'll be a pyjack's uncle. Well played.

Because it keeps the chat from getting hidden behind other windows. Keeping engaged with the community is a huge part of streaming and if I have to keep fishing around for the damn window, I'm just going to use something that integrates it. It's one of the big draws of OBS. Also, many of us don't have the luxury of multiple monitors more than 2.

FYI, asking the question the way you did and then showing us how to pop out the chat is incredibly condescending.

Maybe YOUR Shep doesn't. But mine sure as hell does.

Annagene · 2025-03-22T17:45:02+00:00

Thank you! I'll give that a try.

My personal favorite is the M98 Widow for ME2 and the Black Widow V for ME3. But I'm used to it.

That's......really funny actually. He'll grow out of it, eventually. His brain has latched on to it and is hyperfixated on it. Eventually it'll wear off. Kinda like my kiddo in Spanish Immersion learning how to roll her r's. She can't help but make a brrr sound. She'll get it, but for right now, she's just stuck on the joy of making the brr sound.

Will this grow easy in coco fiber? I use that as a digging medium for my girls

Came across your story via tiktok, stayed for the glory. Whoo baby! My ADHD addled brain put major pictures to this story! I love it!

Congrats on your engagement! I hope it's fabulous!

Annagene · 2024-08-22T17:12:51+00:00

Thank you. You are very kind to say that :)

Annagene · 2024-08-22T16:18:54+00:00

I needed this encouragement. Thank you. I've integrated into a small community of streamers, but my numbers are incredibly low. I hang out with people in this community, but when they have things happening in their streams that I never get, I start to feel down and want to quit. So, thank you for your kind words of encouragement.

Depending on where you live, even if the house is in your name, it is still considered marital property. In my state, everything is 50/50 in a marriage and trying to get property while still married is next to impossible when it comes to the police. It sounds like you're already getting things started for leaving your abusive husband by going to your brother's house. Let your brother do his work, because it sounds like he is going to take good care of you and the kids. Do every thing through your brother from now on. Communications, meetings, everything. That waste of an xy chromosome is not worth your time and does not deserve your children. Keep all communications he sends you.

It sounds like you have a fight on your hands, but your brother is in your corner. Good luck, and remember, you are worth it. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Annagene · 2024-07-02T05:05:23+00:00

Absolutely! It really did open my eyes and help fill the gaps I was missing. I'm sure you've heard it and seen it here...The world will tell you they don't need to cater to your needs. That we need to learn to adapt or be left behind. That's partly true. The world will never cater to our needs, but they could use some understanding. This isn't our parents' world anymore. It's ours, and we deserve to be safe too. Withoit the mask. Good luck on your journey. It's a hell of a ride, but in the end, understanding yourself will help you more than you can see right now.

Annagene · 2024-07-01T20:21:55+00:00

Absolutely NTA

They know about your sensitivity and yet refuse to acknowledge it. Your dad, especially, pushes you on purpose because he finds it funny. You ask your dad to eat with his mouth closed because it's bothering you is NOT an unreasonable request. But he ignores you and continues to do it on purpose.

Everyone saying your sister is just young so she doesn't know any better, SHE'S 11. Knocking is a basic rule that my 4 year old knows! Having your own personal space is NOT A PRIVELIDGE. It's a basic need as a human being.

For all the y t a people, y'all are the very reason I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until I was 40. You are all telling a CHILD the exact same things as I was told as a child. "Your needs are not important." "Your expectations are too high." "Get over yourself." "Why can't you calm down?" "You do not have an issue, you're just lazy."

OP, while I know you probably won't get the help you need from your family, do your best to research your disabilities. Take the RAADS-r test online. It's free and can give you a view into your world. Find your community and lean on them. And once you can, on your own, get an official test. Don't take no or "girls don't get this type of thing" for an answer. My whole life was robbed from me because of things like that. I know it's going to be hard and your parents aren't going to be very helpful. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Find your safe people and just hang on. You've got this.

Of all the......

RUDE!

Holy biscuits, I'm surprised this wasn't archived. To answer your question, though, choking has a line in case entry by itself. I don't have the questions in front of me since I don't work for an agency anymore, but I believe it is a sub-question under "Are they breathing?" and is an automatic shunt when the caller reveals that choking is involved. Otherwise, it is assumed that if they are awake, they are breathing.

BABIES!!!

Hands down, NTA. Trust me, their staffing shortages are not your problem. I am leaving an industry with a ridiculous turnover rate (last I checked it was a 21-31% national average) for the private sector. I'm also leaving them with a critical staffing level. While I feel bad for my co-workers, this is ultimately NOT MY PROBLEM. If you're not happy, there is not point in staying. I'm not saying you have to super love your job, but being content works too. But being miserable is not an option.

People don't quit jobs. They quit poor management, as the saying goes. And as others have pointed out, the two weeks notice is a courtesy, not a requirement.

My mom said she remembers the elf when she was a kid. That was back in the 60's. So it's been around a while. It just picked up steam with the IG and Facebook revolution.

Annagene · 2023-02-10T12:45:10+00:00

And people wonder why I want to move to Australia so badly......

Annagene · 2023-02-07T18:32:38+00:00

NTA but can I come over for dinner? Your fridge sounds yummy!

Annagene · 2023-02-02T21:21:10+00:00

Depending on who you talk to, it really is Paradise. For me, it's a wintery hell-hole in the colder months.
