Is Cohh Carnage the best streamer there is?

[Symphony]

Anyone who uses alerts with sound that cover the gameplay should immediately be disqualified. With a few exceptions like Vinesauce (probably who I'd personally give the "best" title to) the chill streamers are the ones you find near the bottom of the directories with double and low triple digit viewer counts, you should try watching small streamers before complaining that they're all obnoxious manchildren. Yes, the largest ones mostly are because sadly the audience wants that.

 

[Kwyjibo]

WackyJacky101 for me ❤️

 

[Ferrio]

Vinny from Vinesauce. Most well rounded of all the streamers I watch, and even though he's big there's no donation bullcrap and he tries to actively dissuade it.

 

[Semblance]

Same names being dropped over and over in this thread. Watch some smaller streamers, guys.

Not when God Gamer MoonMoon exists

This is what I thought of when I saw this thread...Also Aris (AvoidingThePuddle) and DansGaming are great. Aris is easily my favorite streamer though.

Skill and no try hards. Comedy varies - Stonemountain is hilarious - but they are good fun with zero screaming and cursing other players for real and edgy shit.


Edit: Have to include Rarezy aswell.

I feel like too many of these big "chill" streamers sit on the fence too much when it comes to a lot of issues within the gaming community.

They generally won't say shit.

Panoots was my favorite, I miss him.

 

[Zips]

Elajjaz is best boi

Happy to see the young, anime-loving, Welcome to the Game record holding streamer Elajjaz mentioned on the first page of the thread.

 

[thediamondage]

There are thousands of mature, adult chill streamers and honestly this topic is a bit cringe, as if 99% of streamers are cartoonish. Expand your horizons and browse twitch (youtube etc) a bit more and delve into categories you normally wouldn't, you'll find interesting people doing interesting things without being meme-y about it.

 

[M. Wallace]

Cohh is boring.

I like Sam Witwer's channel.

 

[DWarriorSN]

Twicht is a massive platform, theres a ton of great streamers that arent manchildren.

I watch Maximillian Dood and Northernlion cosistently and theyre both pretty great.

 

[Arken]

There are plenty of solid streams just as is mentioned, they're not nearly as popular. For the life of me I can't understand why they're so many popular channels with mankid-like personalities. Is it because I'm getting old or something?

 

[NuKER]

Ive only met him once that he was playing Tarkov, it's the only game I watch streams on a regular basis, and I have so much respect for him cause the way he played it. It's one of the hardest fps games and he still had the courage to play it and was not afraid to at least learn the game (not the shit show dr. did with it).

I know some streamers that are also very friendly and chill, in Tarkov Deadlyslob and Robn are awesome. Also for Hunt u have Psychoghost that sometimes I also watch.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

It's Jerma. Jerma is the best streamer, easy.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Cohh is always chill and it's nice to see him get so big over the past few years. I haven't watched him in awhile, but one thing I couldn't stand before was him always thanking subs/dono's and shit, it was like he could never get a word in at times lol

The main person I watch is Lirik, yeah he's huge, but damn he always manages to crack me up.

For a person not super popular check out Macaw45. If you are into old obscure games and just game history, you need to watch him, he's like Jeff Gerstsmann in that sense. I remember first watching him play some Taiwan PC games from the early 90's and that shit was great.

Here's a vod from a couple days ago of him playing "Tug of War" a Japanese game from the 90's about going to a demon realm to compete in tug of war...

I also really like watching SarahKey's streams. She does some real fun stuff:

 

[Iadien]

There is no best streamer, as it's all opinion based, but he's definitely one of my go to streamers. he's pretty good at games and more importantly I don't have to worry about an obnoxious chat and TTS spam.

 

[Ashdroid]

Cohh is alright, but his stream is so way too loud and busy for me to be watching at 8 in the morning.

There are loads and loads of chill streamers out there. You just gotta look around a bit.

Off the top of head: Dexbonus, Kaitlyn, SimCopter1, Fruitbats, CurvyElephant, 0Reed, and Fairlight_Excalibur are currently my most frequently watched channels, and they all are pretty chill and don't act like children.

 

[Joker Code]

Hasanabi because he is a pro gamer. He even beat the nameless king on his first try!

Spoiler

He is mostly a politics streamer and he occasionally plays games.

 

[Castor Archer]

Love Peeve. Did he ever make up with Oroboro?
I don't watch streams these days, not since my daughter came along

Click to shrink...

I wasn't aware they had beef, other than their normal banter lol they just played Demon's Souls together a few days ago

 

[squidyj]

I tend not to watch 'huge' streamers, usually just streamers for Path of Exile or Hearthstone and they tend not to get super excited.

 

[julia crawford]

Robert Yang and HentaiPHD are my favourites

 

[Kyougar]

Cohh is the only streamer I watch regularly, but that's because he is a variety streamer who posts his playthroughs on Youtube. I rarely watch streams live. He also has a decent selection of niche games he plays. To mind comes the 200+ hours or so of Pathfinder Kingmaker (two runs).

But he also has some issues:
- overly non-critical of big games while he plays them. (he got better with it but you can't judge his opinion on a current game. A trope that was often brought together with Cohh was, that he likes every game. You could hear praises watching his stream and suddenly he drops it.)
- non-critical on CDPR and completely ignoring the transphobia issues.

 

[Kyra]

Watch Lethalfrag.


There isn't a more positive community on twitch. Lots of Spelunky 2 though.

 

[Batsy]

I like his takes on things especially on dropped frames but for some reason I can't watch his streams. Something about the way he plays games just isn't for me. I remember when I used to drive 1 hour to college I would turn on audio only mode and listen and it was perfect but when it comes to watching I don't know why I can't do it.

Tom, Aculite and Stone are a great trio. This vid still kills me:

 

[Artdayne]

I find him inoffensive to a fault. I do like that he'll play some RPGs that others won't and he always plays on hard mode and 100% a lot of games but otherwise I don't care for him too much.

 

[Scottoest]

I'll occasionally watch Summit1G - in particular if he's playing Sea of Thieves.

Honestly, as long as you don't have an overbearingly fake personality, or a sweaty and arrogant demeanor, you're probably fine. Nothing turns me off a streamer faster than when they constantly over-react to everything in an attempt to be entertaining.

 

[jazzneversleeps]

Don't think I've seen anyone mention Squillakilla, he's great and his chat is usually too, so there's that! Mostly watching Souls runners: Happy Hob, Faraaz, Lobos, Zeus, Dist. Loreena from Germany is great as well, and obviously Limmy is fantastic as well.

 

[CloseTalker]

Vinny and Abby from Giant Bomb streaming together are the best streamers.

 

[nextgeneration]

I also really like watching SarahKey's streams. She does some real fun stuff:

Likewise. While I'm not a huge fan of jrpg's, which is a focus on her channel, I love her passion and love for just video games in general. Streamers who love and have a passion for video games are my favorite streamers and the ones I gravitate towards. She's also super down to earth and just seems like a very sweet person.

LeighXP and Nyxipuff are great as well. You can tell they're both very passionate and have a genuine love for video games. Nyxipuff is currently streaming Dark Souls 1 and she's avoiding finishing the game because she loves the game that much and wants to do/see as much of the game as possible before getting to the end. LeighXP is currently working her way through the entire DMC games and she's just absolutely fangirling at the male characters in the game, which I find hilarious. She beat Bloodborne on stream and while she struggled mightily, she never gave up. I think it took her several hundred attempts or so to beat Orphan, but she never gave up.

And another vote for Maximilian_DOOD. Love his passion and knowledge.

 

[Inyourprime]

Cohh has the same taste in video games as I do. Like he enjoyed games like Elex and Mass effect Andromeda and that gets a thumbs up from me.

I agree with this, honestly.

 

[LonelyGay]

Cohn is so boring, I just can't. The best streamer on twitch would have to be MOONMOON.

 

[Vince-DiCola]

That's good to hear. I think they fell out years ago over Oro's girlfriend, not sure on the details. I just remember that much

 

[Sanka]

I don't watch any streamers at all but this thread got some serious boomer energy.

 

[JoJoBae]

Aris is the only streamer for me

 

[Anson225]

I agree. No nonsense from him. Just simple yet entertaining commentary.

 

[Potterson]

I like his reviews, but his streams tend to get a bit dull.

 

[Owlowiscious]

shishiro botan is pretty chill

 

[fanboi]

If you are into Escape from Tarkov, Sacriel is a superb streamer.

 

[KillLaCam]

I don't really watch streamers but I've seen a few clips of him and he definitely seems a billion times more watchable than many of them for that reason you mentioned

 

[Zuly]

I guess it's because I mainly watch women streamers but I don't have trouble finding someone that doesn't yell into their mic any time something happens.

 

[Handicapped Duck]

Hasan is great, but he gets baited by chat way too much and goes on a rant for hours from their bait comments. Still love 'em though. Max, Dan Ryckert, Forgotten_VCR are fantastic. Dan just got done beating Jeff Grubb in the leaderboards for Astro Bot. That was a ton of fun to watch.

 

[bixente]

The Tetris 99 community on Twitch are great people - Tetrium, Clare, JinAndSoda, Baldseagull, Tenktenks etc. Small group But not obnoxious at all. Love joining them for some games.

 

[Baphomet]

Fightingcowboy is pretty chill, I like him.

 

[Eeyore]

It's funny MoonMoon can be a toxic shit head so he's not always for me but I love that his toxicity is aimed at the right people, the shitty sexist racist assholes. I'm ambivalent about how much he's trolling people with the scraping spear in Demon's Souls though.

As far as Cohh, ignoring the Cyberpunk stuff which I think is pretty bad on its own, I was pretty frustrated with him and his chat during TLOU2. To be fair, almost all of Twitch was toxic as fuck towards the game, and not for what I would consider valid reasons, like crunch. But because of characters like Abby. Cohhs chat wasn't any different.

That being said, I went into one of his cozy streams after a really awful day and experience with another streamer spewing transphobia, and Cohh was pretty empathetic and addressed bigotry. Which was good to see.

Politics wise I feel he's a neoliberal, so he's not never gonna be Hasan or even MoonMoon for that matter.

 

[Alex840]

Kyle Bosman. He's effortlessly mastered the perfect amount of nteracting with chat as well as engaging with the game in a way that's fun to watch, even if the game itself is not inherantly interesting.

 

[ghoulie]

green man aris is the best

 

[Eros]

Cohh seems like a nice dude, but if I were to call a stream/streamer unseasoned, it would be his. But his safe blandness is intentional, so keep rockin. I do like his RPG choices and cozy NMS streams though.

My main go to's are Max, CDNthe3rd, MANvsGAME. Each have their pros and cons, though, so I don't have a clear favorite.

I do find myself preferring super small streamers lately, though. If becoming a big streamer is their goal, I hope they achieve it. But it's nice watching a stream that doesn't come with all that big streamer stuff.
