    What did he do?

    He did duos with randoms all day, and he tried to hide his voice, but there were stream snipers all day. The last one was this kid, who was the most polite, down to earth kid ever. Like insanely polite, like there was a part where he said 'Tim over here. Can I call you Tim, was that disrespectful? I'm sorry" Apologized a lot, it was pure.

    Anyways, he kept complaining that he wasn't doing good because he didn't have a good PC and the game wouldn't render fast enough so he kept apologizing for it. But he had 40k streamers on Twitch; his chat found the kids Twitch name he was playing with, all of them subcribed and he went from <100 followers to 5k. Which means he can get a creator code, etc.

    But, someone in chat mentioned that they should get NZXT to donate him a PC. So somehow (I missed this part), they found his paypal, and chat donated over $600 to this kid so he could get a new PC. And Tim said he'll donate another $500 to make sure he can get a gaming PC. The kid was in tears, saying he loves Tim, that this was the best day ever, etc.

    I'll post the Youtube video tomorrow once he cuts it. It was so fucking cool.

    That's fucking awesome! Do you remember the kid's twitch name? I'll give him a follow

    Yeah Tim owns. The majority of the major “content creators” are nice as hell and will do great things for their subscribers at times, which is why I prefer to watch them over the “pros” for sure. I watch Tfue and, correct me if I’m wrong, there is no way he has done anything like what Tim did lol.

    (I only ever watch on YT though so unless it makes it into the YT vids I miss everything else that happens on a stream!)

    Tfue definitely does good but it's usually off stream work with make-a-wish and children's hospitals from what I've seen. Nate Hill used to do random duos a lot and I saw Courage do them recently. It's so wholesome to see kids react. Courage Lupo and Tim were playing with this random 11 year old that they all added and kept playing with because the kid was pretty good and he was just the perfect example of "kids say the darnedest things". Lotta fun

    Is stream sniping actually a thing or just kind of a joke? It make no sense to me because what are the odds that you'll even know that you're in the same match with a streamer? And even if you are, congrats that's just 1 person out of 100 that you can see.

    It's definitely real. Happens every time I watch Daequan

    Yeah, definitely real. Just today Tim had 30k+ people watching. They just wait until he joins a lobby, then join at the same time, watch the death names come up to see if they're in the same game and then hunt him down. It's plainly obvious.

    Stream sniping is such an insane concept. Its weird that people actually think they’ll get famous from it or whatever... It’s apparently pretty easy to do though because streamers value the live interaction with their chat more than the actual game.

    I was watching cloak one day and the same guy met him at the beginning of like 8 out of 10 matches. He would just bring shield, mats, and ammo to cloak and then dance until cloak killed him.

    One time I did successfully load into the same game as Alex and Aaron from the Chapo Trap House stream just to see how easy it was. It took me 2-3 tries but I got in. I just kinda followed them to their drop and then jumped off the side without interacting so I wouldn’t interrupt their game.

    Yeah, some of them can be funny and just emote and play around. But you can tell a lot of just trying to say "I killed Ninja!"

    Hamlinz quit playing for a little while as he was getting 6-7 stream snipers per game!!! Was nuts seeing him swarmed by dancing idiots even in less populated drops like frozen greasy grove

    Also, the new bow seems fun (reminds me of the one in The Last of Us!), Tfue has got a good vid on YT of him getting some outrageous kills with it already lol

    Streamers won't be allowed to use stretched resolution in tournaments anymore

    I think this is a good change. It feels like cheating. I know a lot of people are mad about it though because Epic originally said it was allowed and now they're kinda pulling a switcheroo haha

    I agree. Now we'll see who's actually skilled at the game haha

    I think this is why streamers are so mad at the update as well. They rely on getting kills which used to give them guaranteed health, shield, and mats, and now that it's all gone, they aren't winning as much. I think a few even said that the old way gave them "content." It seems so selfish and lame that they are constantly complaining about these changes, but what do I know.

    The new bow is SO over powered. Get in on it before the nerf haha literally a long distance shotgun with the ability to see exactly what you're going to hit

    lol if epic released zombies again NOW, while all the streamers are already fuming mad, would be insane.

    It's just the ''mystery'' skin that comes out in two weeks if you complete the required amount of challenges for it
