"you're in trouble! come here so I can punish you" as the door is ajar, the window is open, and a note is on the nightstand saying "no lol"

Confirmed at the end of the headline, lmao. How is this confusing?

[–] JohnWorks 3 points 9 months ago

It says suspending the VOD service not twitch as a whole which is why I was confused.
