I mean yea. I don't know about the boring part. but for lonely yes. as someone who is always lonely, that's part of the appeal of let's plays. I prefer ones with groups rather than one person, and pretending im on the couch sitting with the others watching them play and listening to their conversations

my favorite is Oney Plays

same with movies and tv shows, its just escapism from reality. the only way you arent boring and are normal is if you are constantly out with real friends tbh

I only watch let's plays if it brings something to the table most ppl can't get in their everyday lives,

Like 5 distinctive people playing a fan game nuzlocke at the same time doing goofy voices, making loud ass reactions, and spouting nonsense jokes to each other. That was penta-op for me from KingNappy's channel, but that shit isn't gonna happen anymore because Nappy was doing predatory shit behind the scenes supposedly.

Also the older you get, the less chance you get to just sit down and play some games with friends

I mean, that's why twitch/youtubers exist. So people can pretend they are your friends while you give them money.

I used to really like lets plays but most of them are so bad it isnt worth trying to sieve through the shitty ones

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

That giantbombcast where Dan and Jeff watched through DBZ for the first time was amazing tho. Will they ever do another anime series?

So? If these types of videos do help lonely people, then that's a good thing. I don't like how some people feel that being lonely is a thing one should be chastised for.

This is 100% the case with Game Grumps. You can tell Danny would rather focus on Ninja Sex Party and Arin would rather do the comedy skits, but neither have a big enough following to maintain without the income the LP provides.

Nah, still boring as fuck if you need others to be entertained.

Only way you aren't boring is if you are living life to the MAX all the time, by yourself. Friends are just crutches used to stave off loneliness and self hatred tbh.
