    Props to Noah for paying the dude's rent, though. Based and epic!

    He's a saint, honestly.

    But just a friendly reminder everyone: When you pay someone something, they're doing it because it's a job, not because they actually like you.

    When you are working with straight money, it's easy to see you are paying for someone's time, and they are only there for the money. However, when you have to use alternate currencies, like these super stickers, it obscures the transaction. Yes, you payed for the sticker, but it may not be clear that using the sticker translates to money being transferred.

    Yeah most big streamers are literally working. Like I appreciated one of the guys I was watching the other day had a comment like that "Yeah you see me on a lot, because this is my job and I how I pay for things, yep."

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I'm assuming that was for comic effect.

    Cause if I had a kid and he stole over a thousand dollars from me, it would take a lot longer than a week for him to get his phone back.

    I've found the word "parasocial" which has arisen from... all this, is a really useful one. It describes not only the relationship of streaming fans to streamers, but also the relationships of folks like us to Mike and Jerry in a capacity.

    At some base level, tons of Penny Arcade folks imagine some sort of awareness relationship with the brand creators because of how wide the one-way communication is.

    I legitimately look forward to taking a class on this in some University's sociology department in a few years.

    What is this I don't even.

    I think last comic someone looked up what he was described as having purchased and it was $500.

    I believe that was just the cap on what could be spent per day.

    The interaction also means a lot more to you than it does to them. You are one of many to them, they are one of few to you. You might never forget them, but they equally might never remember you.

    This is a perfectly fine way to buy a car or a computer or an hour of entertainment, but I see a lot of people online who seem to think they're making a friend with extravagant superchats and premium membership tiers and I just think... You guys never really learned how this works, did you?

    It's an evolution of the "falling in love with a sex / adult entertainment worker" cliché

    Or simply thinking that the bartender fancies you

    I wonder Noah's friends are aware of the comic. Man, I would hate to have my dad roasting me over my poor decision making online for the world to see.

    That's part of the punishment.

    Why else would they be trying to get me drunk?
