Why don't more players use voice comms?
I see here all the time people complaining about toxic text chat, and suggesting to turn it off... and I don't disagree that its often toxic, but I've found the opposite with voice chat. I've recently been turning my mic on for every game, and while infrequent, I'll get a teammate that has a mic.
I haven't had a toxic voice chat yet! I'm sure its coming, but what I've found is that the ability to coordinate via voice is infinitely better than trying to use quick chat or type a response... and much faster to do. You can for example say "Passing it to middle field!" and your teammate can say "Ok I'm ready!" or "I'm not there!" and it leads to less confusion and blame about who is at fault. Seems so far in my experience to lead to fewer misunderstandings and teammate blaming, especially when you can say outloud "Oh my bad, I whiffed that shot" or "Nice try, we'll get the bounce!"
So my question is, why aren't more people in RL using voice chat? I feel like if more did, there would be less toxicity and better teamwork and gameplay, especially with randoms.
Curious if anyone here had seen the full claimed ~30m long livestream? I'm not asking for a link to it, I've seen the various clips. How did the livestream start? Was he clothed and not red at the beginning? Or did it start with him nude and in red?
I'm not asking for links to the videos, I've seen the short ones on Xcancel.com - from what I've gathered, there is no full length recording that has surfaced yet anyway. I am however curious if anyone that may have caught the full stream can answer how it started? Was he initially clothed, and then it regressed to what was shared in the clips, or did it start that way?
I've come across multiple reddit posts about it, but not one person who claims to have seen the whole thing. The whole story stinks to high heaven of a psyop or a performative attention grab or some sort of occult ritual rather than someone actually in a crisis. At least from what I saw.
Its also very peculiar to me how immediately everyone was telling people to not watch it, not seek it out. That its to traumatizing or triggering to risk watching. I mean, it wasn't that gory IMHO, I've seen much, much worse, but I've never seen this type of consensus chorus all over social media telling people to avoid it so vehemently.
