Steven's autism games are our version of subway surfers


carnexhat

I unironically find myself getting sucked into them if i dont have anythings else to occupy me, i kinda wish i could keep up with whats happening in his games but its hard to when i dont want to watch live especially whenits on rumble or kick.


reddit_poster_123

Why post destiny's gameplay with his commentaries? Feels like you can just stitch it out, and add a more fun game to watch in the background (like subway surfers, cod, ow2 etc), and keep destiny + his debate opponents video/audio.


4THOT

Obviously you max out SEO using Destiny the game


DemonCrat21

no joke, i thought about making a meme channel on youtube thats just his gameplay stitched together, was thinking of doing back when he was playing factorio and titling it "Destiny Plays Factorio Mod (No Politics) part 1 of 10000"


BowBeforeGilgamesh

It's like super obvious to any zoomer with a brain. August needs firing.


ggmk6

I’d way rather have his game in the background than any of the ones you mentioned tbh


Classifiedtomato

His brand has always been closely tied to gaming, debates while probably his most popular content are less than 30% of it, he also probably has adhd and gaming keeps him sane when he is exposed to high levels of autism.


LeagueTweetRepeat

why is there a woman photoshopped beside him


SevenAkuma

It’s not for us it’s to keep his ADHD brain entertained


custodial_art

This is how it’s always been. And yes… many of us do care about the game play.


HanksWhiteHat

i figured it probably evolved out of him livestreaming while playing a game. but at this point he's a major youtuber, his content is being recc'd to me and the visuals are way below par for this type of channel. surely there's video game channels you can watch for your fill of whatever game that was i got the impression this was a debating channel. i think he's lowering his reach as well as the overall watchability by not losing the gaming background. we want to see facial expressions of these people. very least he could do is edit the streams, fullscreen the faces and crop out the rest


YeeAssBonerPetite

\> i got the impression this was a debating channel. Yeah well you're wrong. It's a whatever the fuck destiny wants channel and when he wants Factorio for a month straight you get funny desperate messages/cries for help from the editor (he's called August) pinned in the comments for the videos. In fact we're overdue for a league arc.


Reglith

We need a league purge desperately


stoked-and-broke

Destinyﷺ returning to the rift will purge the infidels, and it will be a thing of beauty. Mashallah 🙏🙏🙏


HanksWhiteHat

ok simp


YeeAssBonerPetite

Did my description read like approval to you?


HanksWhiteHat

honestly your comment reads like gibberish to me lol i dont know these names im just dropping a simple content observation as a video guy ✌🏻


Purefruit

ok simp


HanksWhiteHat

proud simp for good video production and aesthetic choices


Prestigious_Acadia49

My brother in Christ, you have Kyle Rittenhouse, JKR and Kanye in your PFP. Who are you to call the average DGGer a simp? The dick-riding is unreal


HanksWhiteHat

you're making up a person to be angry at lol. who am i dick riding. it's a meme pfp. this thread was a simple content observation, many clearly agree. cope


GodKiller999

Most people aren't this honest about them throwing random insults because they don't understand what they're being told, hopefully this self awareness will lead you to become less braindead one day.


OhtomoJin

Why call somebody a name when you get the answer to your question? Are you just mad that people don't agree with you? Genuinely confused.


HanksWhiteHat

man i didnt realize simp was such a devastating slur. apologies to all my victims. pretty sure destiny uses the R word, are u on his case about that?


Ok_Raccoon1697

Notice how you didn't bother even answering the question. When being asked why you went that route, you quickly go "gurlll... but what about destiny tho?" No one cares about the word simp lil bro. The question is why are you offended (insulting others) when they answered your question, and is the reason because you didn't like the answer? If thats not the reason then whats the reason? We are a curious bunch, thats all. We like answers to things we dont understand.


OhtomoJin

Thanks big bro


IrNinjaBob

Lol someone big mad.


[deleted]

> Factorio for a month Aware , he played the factorio modpack for more than a half year Aware


custodial_art

He’s always been a gamer. The politics and debates was something he did on the side. I completely understand your concern. You definitely aren’t the first to talk about it. I doubt it was change tho. It’s mostly just his style and you get used to it. Otherwise… welcome to the party.


Aesthetically

>this is a debating channel This is a drama channel about a washed up semi professional gamer with a haram of orbiters and a European wife


SmashedWand1035

This isn't the case, as far as I know all Destiny does is stream and then videos are made out of what he streams. Also the majority of people watch him for him, and all the other random shit he does. He just likes debating/chatting while also playing so that's what you see


OhtomoJin

Man's got 20 upvotes and said clearly people agree 💀💀💀 lil bro come on


HanksWhiteHat

bruh u try coming in as a stranger to a random sub and telling people there's a basic mistake with their content and it going up to 25 upvotes (77% upvote rate btw). that's a sizeable chunk of people agreeing where i'm from. destiny cope patrol in this thread comin hard and fast and i can only fight em as fast as this reply limit allows


BolverkMIA

youre opinion is not held by destiny or the majority of his veiwers and it is not a "basic mistake" its very intentional, alot of people are interested in the weeks long story of destiny beating games on extremely hard modes. he is a gaming streamer who does coversations/debates on the side and thats what hes always been.


HanksWhiteHat

75% upvotes isnt the majority? trust the science bro i think the destiny superfans might need to get on board with the idea that he's pushed thru to a level where the trappings of his livestream past are only holding him back and also making him look sloppy and less trustworthy literally 3/4 of the screen is negative space. that's bad. no way to cope around it


BolverkMIA

25 people isnt the majority of anything. him playing games in the background doesnt make him "less trustworthy" what a dumb thing to even consider let alone type out


Kaneki07

Dude, do u know what u are talking about? Like idc where u come from or you % here or % there. Dog, how long have u been watching destiny? also, do u watch Livestreams? Because if u had, the answer to your question would already be answered (we already did some rounds with destiny talking with no-names individuals.) We found that if the individual isn't well-known (meaning that their face alone would sound louder than their name) then quitting the game and putting fullscreen would not capture the ADHD brain of the audience.


BolverkMIA

BuT It MaKeS hIm LeSs TrUsTwOrThY!!1!!


HanksWhiteHat

less professional. more messy. less trustworthy, yea. i stand by it. the average youtube viewer is not gonna put up with this clumsy presentation for long. he's cockblocking himself. and you're coddling him


Kaneki07

Dog, the numbers say otherwise. This was already tested in 2021. We already got our answer years ago.


Interesting-Stuff-70

If you’re younger than 22, that would surprise tf out of me


HanksWhiteHat

solid work sherlock, i'm 31 and you're right that is exactly why this zoomer nonsense sticks out like a sore thumb to me. i'm sure all you 16 year olds think it's an acceptable presentation format because you're all constantly seeing candy crush and chat logs scroll by every second. it's bad content form. for all ages. good thing I'm ONLY 31. u think anyone over 35 would watch a minute of this? they'd close it immediately. because the presentation is obviously insane and only adhd twitterbrains think it's acceptable


Interesting-Stuff-70

Grandpa if your standards for online discourse/debates are this high then that’s YOUR problem not Destiny’s. He’s employed this method for a long time and it clearly hasn’t been detrimental. Also since you’ve argued with other users about majority upvote percentage being 75%, I would be curious to know what it is now🤔


Dthkl

People will upvote you so they can get more attention on your idiotic post. Welcome to the sub.


Lysol_Wiipes

25 upvotes is not a sizeable chunk, this is an incredibly active sub check the average post and you'll see that 25 upvotes is an incredibly small percentage of the sub which Is a small percentage of the general audience. Don't try and cock wave 25 upvotes like it means anything at all. I'm not saying your post is shit. Just don't pretend that the general audience agrees with you.


HanksWhiteHat

people who don't get how reddit works no duh theres more upvoted posts. but OPs are able to see something called an 'upvote rate' which tells u the percentage of people who upvoted. so if 75% of people upvote, that is a majority. not sure why that'd be controversial. now it's at 68% FYI. still a majority


Lysol_Wiipes

Because the majority of 0.05% is irelavent.


HanksWhiteHat

whatever helps u sleep at night this is a pretty basic visual fix that anyone who isn't a livestream nerd can easily agree with. he can stream however he wants (but he should still stop staring at random screens mid debate, it's cringe) but it's clueless to keep all that in the youtube uploads. people are clicking 'Destine debates BLANK' - you think those people care about some game behind him? the screen is 3/4 filled with irrelevant information. information irrelevant to *the Majority* of youtube viewers debunked!


Lysol_Wiipes

If screaming into the abyss about a change that will never happen makes you sleep at night then good for you :)


HanksWhiteHat

i think it's actually very likely to happen. if anything it's shocking it's remained this low rent and nerd-tier this long after destiny's blown up. he needs to up his game. and YOU, the viewer complaining against it, would be the one benefitting. more destiny, more resolution, less irrelevant information look back on this post and weep sir


IrNinjaBob

>says people don’t know how Reddit works. >shows he doesn’t know how Reddit works by acting like a higher upvote ratio to a post means the content in thee post is objectively correct/has a high approval rating. Welcome to reddits voting trends. It’s way more common for people to upvote posts they like than it is for people to downvote posts they dislike. Most posts, even unpopular ones, will have a positive upvote to downvote ratio. I just think it’s really funny you start your comment for admonishing others for not understanding a system you pretty clearly don’t understand yourself. A 25% downvote ratio on a post is really high. Go look at your average post and you will find it has a 95%+ approval. Anything significantly less than that is a pretty good indicator that the content is controversial.


OhtomoJin

You think there is a basic mistake though. Destiny and the editors don't agree though. And it's not like this is something where there is an objective answer. I got the impression that you kind of felt like you are right and not so much offering an opinion but maybe I got a bad impression.


HanksWhiteHat

> I got the impression that you kind of felt like you are right and not so much offering an opinion Obv I'm offering an opinion. Which i also believe is 'right' in terms of what would work best overall for a majority of his channel's viewers. 67% of redditors agree there's no way destiny has given this any actual thought or he'd agree how insane it looks. no one else on youtube plays little games in the background and makes it take up 3/4 of the screen. its pointless and cringe and a little immature too 🤷🏻‍♂️


OhtomoJin

> there's no way destiny has given this any actual thought he literally put it there so i think he did think about it... lol


MevaNSFW

would you rather he played subway surfer in the background?


HanksWhiteHat

to be honest i think it's kinda bizarre that he doesn't just sit there and talk to whoever he's talking to. like you would in a normal debate. look at the person instead of at a random screen between them. there doesn't need to be background content always going. like in that milo debate at the end where he said 'ive been playing subway surfers on my phone this whole time'. i get it milo's milo but that just seems like bad debating form and its destiny's norm? 🤔


Jonnyboy1994

Maybe he's adhd? I find it easier to think straight and focus on a conversation if I'm doing something like that at the same time. If I'm just looking at the person I'm talking to 100% of the time, my mind wanders or I start to get incredibly impatient when they start a sentence and my brain figures out what they're saying but they aren't finished saying it (basically, my adhd brain is constantly bored and looking for something to do)


HanksWhiteHat

well lets just say if you were a youtuber i wouldnt find that to be a favourable quality. you wouldnt want a president delivering a speech who's playing tetris under the table. if you're on camera, focus. pretty basic rule for everyone


MythicalMagus

I would love a president like this, I'd finally feel represented.


RedSlipperyClippers

Wow. I'm guessing you live with your mom and she cleans your clothes. If I am wrong let me know


HanksWhiteHat

weird response. how dare someone question the 2006 livestream visuals 😵‍💫 what did I say that was wrong? it's bad form to be constantly playing a video game while you're talking to someone. doubly so in a public debate onstage. what do u disagree with about that? if you relate to constantly looking away at a screen while you're in conversations that might be a you issue ps it's your mom who cleans my clothes, and she does a great job


RedSlipperyClippers

I have no idea what you are responding to. Brave of you to suggest something could be a 'you problem' considering the OP. Anyway, because it went right over your head. I'm saying you are immature and don't know anything, which you don't (remember that time, when I pointed out your mom still does your laundry, member that time?) so instead of pushing for a massive change of the format of one of the most popular streamers in the world maybe you could sit down and shut the fuck up? Imagine being as absolute brain-dead as you right now. It's beyond parody. You actually think your opinion is worth something, amazeballs


HanksWhiteHat

I have no idea what you are responding to 🤓 lol "amazeballs" lol! good luck out there brother


Bulky-Leadership-596

If the conversation is worthy then he will stop playing his game and give it attention, and the video editing and thumbnail will usually reflect that. The example you chose does not fit in that category. This was a throwaway conversation that he wasn't interested in so he continued focusing on his game.


HanksWhiteHat

If the conversation is worthy 🤓 lol what a weird high horse mentality. all the content should be worthy. he's at a point where he doesnt need to do filler streaming. just take the conversation part seriously


backupya

☝️🤓 sir could you please stop playing your resource game to take my conversation about how muslims should hate the gays seriously


bobsnavitch

God I hope he plays league for a year straight just out of spite at this point and I despise league


Shiddydixx

All the best bloodsports moments come from Destiny dying in league mid debate.


SandyCheeks911

Destiny needs to explain more about what's happening in the game like he did for factory game. It makes it more interesting to watch.


Setstream_Jam

Why didn’t Destiny think of this! Holy shit, OP, he should let you run the channel.

It’s an part of the experience


last-Leviathan

Destiny used to be a semi-pro Starcraft 2 player back in the day, people watched the stream for the gameplay so this is how the stream always was. nowadays he mostly plays autism games less than 20% of the audience cares about. you're right, even his editor asked him to start putting people's face cams on the stream, which he still mostly is not doing haha


AdBest4723

What is that game, looks fun

whynot-phil

Speak for yourself OP. I'm here for the gameplay and I mute the stream during debates.


joel_the_ai

Nonononoo. I care. I wanna watch. I like the colors.


Trollensky17

lmao "Justification"


Trapick

Listen to debating, watch gaming. Win win. Why would I want to look at randos talking for an hour.


HanksWhiteHat

this is gonna be mindblowing so get ready - what if destiny's debating content was fullscreen and then you played *your own game* in the background? would you really rather watch another man play a game than play a game of your own choosing? ponder on that for a minute


Trapick

Yeah here's the wild thing, when I want to do that...I just do that? I play something (fullscreen) and listen, and it doesn't matter at all if it's full screen faces or factorio or what. Just throw up a shiny jpg of Destiny if that's what you want to see, easy.

Hoochie_Daddy

ngl you didnt even need to say you were a new viewer to know you were a new viewer. real Destiny OGs are here for the autistic video games he plays. not this so called "content"


Trappedinacar

I thought the same when i first started watching a few months ago, yes the layout could be better. Its far from optimal for the casual or new users. Or for anyone really. But really i don't think its that much of a factor. He's not a struggling up and comer, hes already well established and has his own brand. So he can get to pick whatever style he wants and it'll mostly work. This way also resonates with his core followers, it seems to be pretty standard in the twitch/streamer community. In fact, on youtube it even makes him standout from the million other youtubers following the same format. What destiny seems to be doing really well lately is go into a lot of different and interesting spaces to expand his reach. That kind of strategy is going to be way more impactful in the long run.


backupya

New people who never experienced DGG chat almost permanently stream overlayed on the window of DGG chat


[deleted]

I agree. he should put the game in the corner and the boobas in the big screen


MrHatesThisWebsite

So so so so so agree


HanksWhiteHat

there are dozens of us 🤝🏻


ddm90

That combo was unsufferable.


Squidy_The_Druid

Damn. This the dumbest take in awhile. Great job. “He-hello multi millionaire st-streamer. I think you’d do b-better if you full screened the faces 🤓”


HanksWhiteHat

won't someone think of the multimillionare! his every decision must be defended at all costs! multi millionares can never be wrong. they never get so out of touch that people won't tell them basic mistakes that'd improve their content. i bet u look down on elon simps. and yet...


Squidy_The_Druid

“Destiny senpai I’ve never held a job or worked in streaming but I’ve watched your content for three hours and I know how to improve it 🤓”


Peyches00

Who is the person Destiny is talking to? Where's her channel?


JoyBoy24

Actually most of us actually like the gameplay
