I mostly watch a couple of super small Twitch channels. Two of them happens to be podcast hosts that I enjoy listening to. But since there are only 100-200 people watching the chat is actually fun to read and participate in. Maybe it helps that they are mainly known outside of Twitch so you rarely get the usual Twitch audience in there.
I used to also watch some of the bigger streamers and I can only agree with you, it slowly drained my enjoyment of games.
The older I get the less I care about "owning" a physical copy of the media I consume. The convenience of having everything digitally outweighs my need to have a backup IF Steam should shut down abruptly some day without offering a DRM free option.
I always thought "car combat MMO" sounded like the best idea ever that would be impossible to screw up. Mad Max meets Carmageddon meets Mario Kart meets WoW. Then Auto Assault came out and it sucked.
I love the Dark Souls games, perhaps even my favourite series of all time. But if I have to descibe the games I have to admit it sounds pretty awful. Slow paced, meticulous combat with high animation priority, extremely punishing bordering to unfair, obfuscated and undefined story, dark and gloomy. You will probably lose hours of progress because you fell through a hole you couldn't see or was crushed by a boulder that came from nowhere. And I love it.
I don't know how busy Drew is in times like these but it would be really fun if they could drag him back for some flight sim or iRacing streams.
And I love to see Jan take on some of the other Souls games. I haven't watched a lot of the Bloodborne streams because I still hope to play through it myself one day and I don't want it to be spoiled. Getting a console for just one game still feels wrong.
I must say I like most of the things Alex puts out. Trucking, drumming, Civving and Mass Effecting. Always fun to hear him talk about music, movies, and other shenanigans, which also happens to be my own interests.
For a bit more comedy centered stream I love just about everything that Vinny is part of.
