(disclaimer: this is me complimenting things Techno does that i specifically enjoy, not that other streamers donāt manage the same thing. support content creators! also iām not begrudging Techno wanting to keep out of more competitive events like non-charity MCCs, thatās part of what makes me like him so much)Ā
watching lots of other perspectives for MCC15 has really made me appreciate Technoās streaming style. it feels so low key but with the edge of competitiveness that keeps me invested.Ā
he is so dedicated to good contentĀ (thinking about when he spoke about not wanting to become a ātournament andyā) and that's always what is produced.Ā while i love and appreciate all the streamers iām watching today, none of them give the same level of satisfaction as watching a Techno Tournament TM. itās not just to do with skill, which certainly adds to something like battle box which gets harder to watch when someoneĀ isnāt doing as well as you know they can, but everything else he brings to a stream makes it even better. the (sometimes comically unrelated) commentary, the support and advice he gives to his teammates, interaction with chat, and the balance of competitiveness and avoiding toxicity.Ā
also more niche, thereās a specific way he moves his cursor to make it an incredibly smooth viewing experience. i canāt explain it entirely, but it just feels like getting in a car with great suspension, iām sure thereās no particularly different graphics or settings he uses but it makes it so easy for me to remain involved. similarly, something that has been mentioned a lot that i think comes hand in hand with not having a facecam, is great awareness of his characterās body language. the far away technogaze, and the way he turns his head to look at other people is the height of humour in my mind and none one can convince me otherwise.Ā
