How the heck do you have a serious conversation with someone that is always streaming when they have free time and how do you enjoy gsmes with them when there is something serious only partially talked about?
 
Just sitting there and drawing people? Like caricatures?

I know someone who did that and did it for 5$ a piece. Why?
(Not Vidcon btw)

Still, it's a pretty cool opportunity and they clearly appreciate your artistic skill if they want you to do illustrations.
Just random stuff, whatever quick thing each person wants. And I'd be paid by the hour, not per piece. Still waiting on the number though.

And they haven't even seen my art. They're connected to my dad somehow and he told them I could draw for them.

Tell them that you have to talk to them about something personal. They'll make time, right? Is whatever it is stuck on your mind and keeping you from enjoying the game? That's basically how I've been for the past few weeks so I get it.

sounds like you are not fully satisfied with the way the conversation went or they are not as invested in it as you are.

if either of these are the case then assert yourself and make what you are wanting to communicate clear. if you are still not getting the attention you want at that point move on because it's clear they are not interested.

Ah, well you still get to go to vidcon so that's something, right? :)

Reminds me of when I kept getting loaned out to various family friends because they knew that I was majoring in Computer Science. Thankfully it was nothing substantial. Just stuff like transferring files to a new computer, setting computers up, etc.

Vidcon's at the Anaheim Convention Center, right?
 
Being a stan of hers is so awesome because she looks on point like all the time

Basically I'm blessed every day

I'm well acquainted with that feeling.

I got a new goal in life and it requires me lowering my standards. Any of you wanna me by sugar daddy and gift me clothes, games and food?

Send me a veggie pizza for starters. XOXO

I'm not even sure there would be much to say but it's just the principle of the whole thing. It's just impossible to deal with.
I've felt this way for awhile but it was just about hanging out without a camera in your face

I know the thing is to tell them that the situation gets in the way of you being friends but that's a conversation I don't really want to have.

Not sure if by the hour is better or worse. Guess it depends on the rate you'll do it and how much you're getting paid. My friend though takes like 20 minutes to make a drawing and had to pay for his own booth so that wasn't a good decision imo

The company that's building a hyperloop just contacted me to do iOS development.

holy shit. that's huge. congrats

so hyperloop is actually going to be a thing?

It's a private company that's taking Musk's idea and running with it. Apparently they have an agreement already with Slovakia to build one from Bratislava to Vienna and Budapest.

No idea if it's legit or not yet, but I'll see where it goes.

slightly less huge (I thought it was the actual Musk thing) but still could be really lucrative.

in my limited understanding of it I think it could be pretty revolutionary

But if it's bothering you this much then you should really talk to them about hanging out without streaming it for once. I'm sure they're not willing to dump friends for streaming.

Except I hate cons :p

They give me so much anxiety, and they're exhausting and gross.

Whoa! That's rad! Is this a job with the new Boston company or something on the side?

Ooh, that sounds like a bad deal. I'd be surprised if the sketches they want me to do take more than three minutes each, so that part of it is fine for me.

We had a get together with friends. They brought their laptop and asked for the wifi password so they could stream and then left early cause they couldn't.

Is it the crowds?

That sounds pretty stupid. Are they making a decent amount of money from it or just addicted to having people watch them play?

Musk isn't actually involved in any of the development for a hyperloop right now. SpaceX created the idea, and then open sourced all information and patents related to it. Right now there are three companies exploring the possibilities.

Whoa! That's rad! Is this a job with the new Boston company or something on the side?

I'm unsure right now. I just received the email about an hour ago. Once I get a reply I'll have more information to go on. This is separate from the Boston company (which I don't even start until Monday).

Like 3 viewers at a time. Typically there's more people playing with them than watching.

I'm not entirely sure that addiction entirely describes it but it's probably partially that. They set up a 6 hour a day schedule back when they started and normally these days do 8+ a day. It's weird how concerned about keeping the schedule they are but it's definitely partially from being overly selfless and wanting to make other people (what they perceive to be) happy and all that

If that's really their end-goal for all of this then they shouldn't have a problem talking about this with you since it's causing you to be unhappy. Are you two close?
 
man this dude messaged me AGAIN today at 6 pm...asking if I wanted to hang out this evening. maybe I'm super oldschool and weird about this too but don't you make date plans a little bit sooner than that? especially during a weekday. he could've asked me yesterday but he always waits until the last minute for some reason.
I was on my way to my work out class and actually busy this time. does he just think I sit around and wait for him to ask me out?

edit: talking about highschool dude who didn't talk to me for weeks and suddenly messaged me yesterday wanting to meet up that same day.

I think it might just be time to move on from him. He doesn't seem like he wants to put much effort into dating.

We can hang out about 3 years from now when my world calms down enough to allow me to travel out of the country though.

I have already moved on. I stopped replying to him yesterday and didn't reply to him today either. I don't even think about dating him anymore. I just wanted to vent since that got me upset again. that whole attitude comes off really shady somehow. like I'm not a pizza you can order that will be delivered within 30 minutes to your doorstep.
does that make sense?

I know people that are currently trying to be Twitch Streamers and are basically ruining their lives because of it.

I just got offered the chance to sit in a booth and do illustrations for three whole days of VidCon. I can't think of anything more miserable right now. They're going to have to promise a lot of money so I don't just laugh it off.

I mean, it's not like you need the money. But I feel like you're at least interested?

You shouldn't let him upset you as he it is not worth of any of your feelings. Ignore him and perhaps block him if possible. Plenty of guys out there that will do better than him.

It makes sense. You don't want someone to treat you as though your world revolves around them and act as though you'll jump at the chance every time they ask you to hang out. You have other things going and just wanted to see if it was going to go anywhere with them, but they didn't show any evidence of taking dating you seriously and shouldn't expect you to wait around because you deserve better than to be put on hold like that.

Yeah fuck him. You deserve better than that. If he doesn't show you respect now, before you're even together, he's not going to do it later on.

Sorry that happened you. It's not your fault.

Yeah, he's displaying a super shitty attitude revolving around stereotypical gender roles. If he doesn't respect you during courtship then that is a huge red flag.
 
thanks for understanding me guys <3
it's not that I'm super upset actually (phrased that wrong) but probably more...annoyed maybe? I just don't like that fuckboy attitude.

He only messaged you again because you changed your profile pic to a really attractive picture of you.

If that's what it took to get him to respond, then just keep ignoring him.
