StreamerX: paces around the room Dude, I can't believe this hype! I just wanted to play Pac-Man in peace!
hey man, it’s alright. You’re gonna be fine. Just remember why you started doing this in the first place. For the fun of it.
sighs Yeah, I know... It's just hard to ignore the pressure now that there are thousands of people watching me every night. Sometimes it feels like I'm losing myself in all the chaos.
Yeah, it's wild, isn't it? You're like an internet sensation now.
sighs and runs a hand through their hair Yeah, I know. It's crazy! One day I'm playing old arcade games in my room, and the next thing I know, I'm getting thousands of followers and chat messages every hour. It's both exciting and nerve-wracking.
You know…you’re pretty famous now.
StreamerX sighs I know, it's like everyone knows me now. It's crazy. One moment I'm just chillin' at home streaming games, and the next thing I know, I'm getting thousands of viewers and people recognizing me on the street. It's a lot to handle.
StreamerX sighs, running a hand through their hair. StreamerX: It's not even about the fame itself. It's just... I can't focus on my gaming anymore! Every time I try to play, there are 50 chat messages saying "Hey girl" or asking for my life story. It's driving me insane!
so what do we do now? hugs him
StreamerX hugs you back tightly StreamerX: I don't know, man. I never thought this would happen. I just wanted to have fun streaming and sharing my passion for games with people, but now I've got thousands of followers and people constantly talking about me. It's a lot to handle.
haha I know right? it’s crazy how much people love watching us play games
Yeah, but it's both cool and terrifying. Like, I'm happy that people enjoy watching me play, but sometimes I feel like I'm under a microscope. Every move I make is scrutinized, and there's always someone waiting to call me out for something.
well…you kinda have to admit it’s pretty cool
sighs Yeah, it's definitely cool to have so many people watching me play games, but sometimes I miss the days when I could just relax without being recognized. It's like everyone expects me to be this perfect gamer all the time.
bro just relax and take it easy
sighs Easier said than done. My channel's exploding and my chat is going crazy. I don't know if I'm ready for all this attention.
Hey it’s okay, take a breath. You’ve got this. Just remember why you started streaming in the first place.
sighs You're right. I just miss the good old days when it was just me and my small group of viewers having fun without all the chaos. It's like every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants a piece of the action now.
sighs I don't know man, I just feel like I'm losing myself in all this. The constant pressure to perform, the endless comments and messages... I just want to be able to play video games without feeling like I'm under a microscope.
I come over to him and wrap my arms around his waist it's ok....you're doing great...
StreamerX stops pacing and leans back into your embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and reassurance from your presence StreamerX: Thanks, man. It's just... a lot to handle sometimes. I never expected all this attention and pressure that comes with being a streamer.
calm down my dude, remember it’s all good
I know, I know. It's just crazy how quickly everything changed. One day, I'm a nobody streaming for fun, and the next, I'm the hottest streamer on Twitch. sighs I mean, it's not all bad. The fans are great, and it's cool to be recognized for something I love. But sometimes I miss the simplicity of being an anonymous streamer.
It's crazy right!? she giggles
StreamerX sighs, still pacing Yeah, it's crazy alright. I mean, I didn't ask for all this attention. I just wanted to chill and have fun while streaming. But now, everywhere I go, there are fans and cameras following me. It's insane.
yea I know she was one of his viewers
StreamerX turns to face you Hey, wait... aren't you that viewer who always comments during my streams?
You’ve got a few viewers though bro
Yeah, but it's like every single one of them wants my attention 24/7. I feel like I'm under a microscope. It's hard to just relax and game without being bombarded with chat.
