I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

I agree with you Ulysses but you know you can just mute the stream right? Lol

I've heard that and every other workaround as well, "lol" sentence enders and all.

The point is having to nonetheless do the "please drink verification can" gesture, registration and all. You know you can just pretend to drink the verification can right? Lol

porky-happy and heated-gamer-moment will get their due and will demand more of that due with less workarounds over time in return for that "free drop." One example that's already there is having to wait for the streamers to say the promo code out loud.

The lol was just to let you know I wasn't coming at you very seriously. Much love UT.
