Live on Twitch Sunday and Thursday nights at 6 pm EST. I’m a media and cultural sociologist. Most of my posts will be about media.

@Bionox96 Also we can interact on discord if you’d like. Also if you’d rather open or send gifts I can just work with whatever you want, just like fun trades!

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@Bionox96 I would love to mirror a cute shiny with you. We’re lucky friends and I’m super communicative and open to what you’d like so if you want to increase friendship I’d be down. Or if you’re coming to Boston we can wait til then. But I’d love to keep increasing friends.

I just got a phone call from someone in oil futures thinking I was an accredited investor and that I should donate to him 250,000 dollars. I started laughing uncontrollably and he said hmm I might have the wrong number.

My version of space ghost in tomodachi life.

@hai_ruba Let me just flex this shiny boy at 0%.

@0hSnapItsBritt The most important part in this is taking care of yourself cause even if your audience is there for Pokémon you can regrow it and/or change things up slightly to better suit your overall mental health. Change is always going to be hard but it’s better than burning out.

@Rin_Vixen One of the best arcs of the series

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@Rin_Vixen As someone who started watching one piece regularly about 20 years ago there is a part of me that is so excited for new fans like you to experience One Piece in its prime at your own pace. It is legitimately incredible and you’re getting into it at such a good time.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@rowan8436 I know we’ve talked about it but i am legit proud of you getting out of there and being able to gain your mental health back. You’ve done an incredible job.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@Rin_Vixen Seriously. It’s one of the weirdest parts of the fan base. How can you get all the way to Wano and be anti-trans. Have you not been paying attention this whole time?

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@theverybest5000 You answered the question yourself saying you were fine with the trade before you found out they didn’t have it. Some people just get unlucky and for this person jynx has never shown up. Think of it as you fixing the fairness that the shiny luck never gave them.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@w12ace You and I are the same, I also have 370 pokemon in my remote trade folder. I just like having good versions of shinies of all sorts. Meta relevance isn’t for me. :D

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@CoopersCharms One of the things I'm finding from my research is how often new creators simply don't comprehend audiences. You would think they would try and understand people a little more and yet they seem oblivious often times to important social cues.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@katystoll It has to be a mixture of X making people money for viral posts mixed with a heavy dose of propaganda that the left on this site eat up. The clip culture of Hasan is nothing new but older leftists new to his brand are lapping up years of propaganda OOC clips as if it were new.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@NekkoMeneko I tell people I never expect them to be in my streams cause I understand the change of game concept. If someone I like is playing a game I want to play or a game I dislike I can’t really tune in and that’s the beauty of variety is your audience changes between games.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@NekkoMeneko Same here. I got stuck in GTA RP for a while and it killed my desire to stream. Luckily I found whatsamusic and it changed my entire outlook on streaming and now I like streaming again. I think also sometimes streamers have a hard time conceptualizing other viewers.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@Cyndikate1 I remember being at this point in streaming and also in school. You have to make this stuff work for you. There are so many factors and understanding audiences is vital. Things will never change overnight. Look at most big streamers stats and they spent years in small spaces.

[Thirdmango @Thirdmango]

@Cyndikate1 This is exactly what my research is about and you have the right instincts which is why the best bet is consistency, networking and discoverability. There are communities out there which want/need more people. Like most performance fields you have to find your niche and voice.

I grew up on 90s alternative rock but I never expected to be as much of a metal head as I’ve become in my 40s. I’m a true metal head now.
