Remember How I Said The Game Was Acting Like It Was Going To Crash And I Ended The Stream Early Because

If I ever have to read The Catcher In The Rye again I will set it and myself on fire, it is the second worst thing I've ever read, right next to the first ten pages of Fahrenheit 451. There was absolutely nothing to that book, so substance, no stakes, not even an interesting slice-of-life story, just a meandering nothing that had no incentive to finish it besides "we're reading it out loud in class and your grade counts on suffering through it."

Holden Caulfield is the worst protagonist I've ever had to sit through, he's not even tolerable levels of teen brooding or the type that just needs some guidance and he'll be okay, he's just a judgemental pathetic asshole determined to keep his pity party going way past its due date because the world is so DARK and CRUEL and kids are so INNOCENT MOM you just don't understand how INNOCENT they are GOD (I will fight anyone who says "oh but depression" because he is NOT an accurate representation of depression- he may show signed of being depressed but he's an asshole and they are not synonymous)

I just couldn't root for this guy! I genuinely did not care what happened to him! I've had to read a nice few books I didn't particularly enjoy, but I could always find *someone* to root for, *something* to keep me going, but Catcher In The Rye? Nothing. The book could have ended with Holden choosing to live under the bridge like a troll and I wouldn't have cared.

And no I don't care if "the point is that it has no point" it's dumb and I hate it.

Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

I got Catcher in the Rye the last time too. You went much more into detail, though, which I always love to see. Your anger is mine now

It’s insane to me that people still make fun of folks just for being in certain fandoms or liking certain things

Seriously your ‘liking things beyond the norm is cringe’ mentality isn’t going to end up boosting your self esteem in the end.

Your just gonna end up feeling shitty once you realize your a human being and enjoy things too

Like, I get making fun of people who enjoy things that are legit harmful. That’s valid, but being a dick to someone just for enjoying something that you don’t personally enjoy is so legit pathetic it hurts

We’re literally all trying to feel like we have a place in this world. We find people with common interests and enjoy their company while discussing those interests. It’s normal it’s healthy, who the fuck are you to judge someone for it

I’m real sick of certain stuff today sorry for the rant

What is your favorite Jojo chapter, and why is it Diamond is Unbreakable?

I decided to switch from using the twitch studio app to using obs for streaming.

I have most of it set up alright. Struggling a bit with the webcam not showing if the game is showing, but I’ll hopefully have it figured out soon.

I’ll be using obs to stream Final Fantasy XV tonight. If there are hiccups with the stream, it will be down to me using a program I’m new to, so please be patient with me

I know I've been gone for like 2 months, but I'm actually still alive, and I can prove it on twitch!

Come see the evidence for yourself!

I'm back with Dragon Age 2. Let's see if I can remain faithful to Sebastian or if I'll get distracted by sexy elves and mages. https://www.twitch.tv/therobichaud

I was talking to my mom and I told her that I think I might have autism and she told me that I do, and she's known about it since I was 5

And she just decided to never tell anyone, including me, about it

It apparently took three decades for her to decide that I might find this information helpful

So many things about me and my life make sense now

I really wish I had known this sooner

I will finally be streaming tonight!

I haven't decided on starting at 10:00 or 10:30 yet, but I will let you know

I--

Hate the Maximum Ride series I hate it. It had so much potential but James Patterson wouldn’t know consistency if it hit him in the face. Like the part where the gang went to Antartica? It felt like I had missed a book with how much had happened. And Izzy’s mom going from dead to actually being married and thinking he was dead? Whack. Within a couple of chapters too like. I could be remembering wrong but what kind of inconsistency was that?

I've never read this series, but because my brain is utterly broken, I have watched multiple hours long videos about it. And even then, with all that knowledge, having it all condensed down to it's most straightforward and coherent, I could in no way give you a cohesive plot summary. Like, I think they stop the apocalypse, stop the climate crisis, and then it doesn't matter because the apocalypse happens anyway? Maybe? I don't know.

I don't think even James Patterson knows.

I'm starting to think he's not even a real person. Just every now and then, a book appears in the world with that name on it. It never goes to an editor, no publishing house actually handles it, it's never even been to a printer. It just appears in bookstores and we as a society just don't question it
