Wow, one of the Geeg streams I was there for! That's crazy! Just to share my perspective, when I was younger in grade school, I knew that I had wanted to be some kind of engineer. At first, it started out as civil, then went to structural, then to mechanical/mechatronics, then finally to electrical, which is the major I ended up choosing after graduating from community college with an associates of science. While in uni, I had enjoyed working with smaller electronics, and wanted to find a career path towards that role once I graduated. Turns out my first career job dealt more with electrical utility. Now I've been in Distribution Engineering for 6 years! Public school in the US doesn't do too much to help with college/career planning like it does in other countries, so most of the time, the motivation and future planning has to come from either yourself, your parents, or an outside source not in school. It's hard to nail down an exact plan for the future when circumstances keep changing in your life, and your interests grow and evolve into something newer as you get older. Follow your heart and what interests you, but have a backup plan or 2 just in case. Keep on willing to learn new things, and listen to others' perspectives on how they got to where they are today. That goes a long way more than anything else I feel like.

It's been like this forever, even among boomers

Or, (look up Prenda Law) you can just have your LLC owned by a blind trust in Nevis

Basically an infinite amount for me, given that at 12 I couldn't walk and was crippled by constant pain.

I thought they gonna talk about hogs. Disappointed

MGS4 is great and one of my favorites. I sort of agree with what she said about 5 though

Overcame fear of public speaking by not thinking about it

The first part certainly hits home as someone with a maths degree who is now a software developer. However I kinda disagree with the need to know what you want to do before a uni/college, a lot of subjects are completely different to before and ultimately people change a lot over that 3/4 year period. Being from the UK i always forget how crazy the US college application process is, paying loads per college, vs a small fee in the UK to apply to up to 5.

They were telling us way back in the '90s computer science was the degree to get because good money. Not sure about that. Then a friend got a Masters in genetic engineering and worked in hospital IT. Troubleshooting, some networking, and of course help desk stuff. Guidance Counselor? I think the school had one, really laid back, no idea what he actually. I never talked to him. On the plus side my high school did acknowledge that trade schools were viable and even took us to visit one. Not quite drowned out by the "If you don't get a degree you'll windup in a VAN down by the RIVER."

I have a degree in geology and it's a running joke that no one actually starts in geology. High schools, counselors, and parents never tell kids about courses like geology. They focus on being doctors, engineers, CS, and similar overrated degrees. So everyone goes into those, and only halfway through their education do they actually switch. In my geology program club we had only two people who started in geology, out of ~25 of us. And no one drops out, since the degree is actually enjoyable. As it turns out, all of the recommended degrees have issues. Only half of engineering students get a degree, and only half of those actually work in engineering, so their high average salary is really only looking at the best quarter of them. Doctors spend 12+ years building up hundreds of thousands in debt that will take decades to pay off, despite their high salary, once they actually become a doctor. Half of the CS degrees I know got laid off over the last year with AI. And a lot of those students will be going through a lot of suffering in uni, just to end up with a degree they don't actually love to work in. Meanwhile in geology, most students spend 4 years on a subject they actually enjoy learning about and if they go into mining/O&G, are often making six figures within a few years. But since no one tells kids about that, no one goes into it.

People always rag on going to college as a waste of time, (some degrees like an art degree are a waste of time lol) but honestly, most people don't have much choice. I wasn't rich. I didn't want to be a content creator. I didn't want to start a business. I didn't want to do any of those well charted careers like doctor/nurse, police officer, electrician, etc that you can do at technical/trade schools. So what then? It's so easy to tell an 18 year old to just not waste money and don't go to university but I didn't have any obvious alternatives to pursue a career. It was either roll the dice with college or work retail/call center/factory til I die. Things did work out and I've got a decent career now. Not using my degree for my career but wouldn't have gotten the job without it. No idea what I'd be doing had I not gone to college and gotten that experience and connections.

I was in cs310 before realizing I wasn't learning about tech repair, just coding. I changed to I&T and found out it was for people that were in HR learning to "double-click". I ran out of money and dropped out, started working in the field, and learned while the tech evolved. I've been a senior engineer with 20+ years of experience earning 6 figures.

The only use my degree has seen since I graduated like 5 years ago is to get immigration off my back when I travel...and my counselor? Flipping a coin was more useful every time.

High school guidance counselor is a joke. I don't even remember any useful information I had from them. Ended up retaking the SAT after high school for Canadian universities (due to family issue) and got to a "prestigious school". Most professors are smart and nice but not good at teaching. Got the degree but still can't get into the field. Ended up in Logistics to help with my dad. Still don't know what to do career-wise.

A lot of people put weight on their kids going to universities without actually understanding what such an undertaking entails, and what that means for their kids down the line. It's not just the education system pushing kids to this path. It's a genuine issue that some parents expect their kids to graduate and figure things out themselves. Academic programs nowadays have also become more and more generalized to adapt to the volatile job marketplace of some fields, so you're expected to just learn as much as you can and hope by the time you graduate that your dream career still exists, or your knowledge is still applicable. All of this means that it's very hard for the people of this generation to plan for the future and expect stability, because it's built in both in the way the people who are supposed to guide you treat your future and the structure of the program you're studying expects you to achieve which forces this generation to keep on pushing while not having a concrete end goal.

Math lab?? I think those ppl just heard wrong and they thought "woohoo,meth lab" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Update Dec 3 2024: GEEGA's sick so no 3D this week -For those of you who don't check twitter GEEGA's gonna be showing off her 3D model on wednesday Dec 4th at 1:00pm est if nothing changes. You'll get your regular wednesday clip and I'll probably have something out the same day or the day after.-

hot take: subathons are boring. anytime i see someone streaming and click on it to find out they are sleeping can get annoying. I like it a lot more when if i see someone start a stream, then I instantly know its going to be entertaining. Most subathons can get boring overtime since its a lot harder to schedule and set things up as a streamer when you are constantly streaming everything.

It was Hammertime

Honestly, she could just do a subathon like Mel dose. Set a goal to stream "X" number of days/weeks and try to make it to the last day. Don't even have to keep the stream up 24/7. I think Mel's first subathon she was live almost 24/7, but her last one she ended every night and restarted the next day.

I absolutely loved Gimmi's Appearance on Filians adopt a sibling stream. It's a tad bit irritating ChaCha didnt choose her cause she thought Grimmi was a liability/problem. But oh well guess she was meant for bigger better things.

I'd love to see Geega and Nerissa yap about musicals

Did some quick math with an old transcript from when I added subtitles to clips. GEEGA's words spoken per minute is 170 and Google says the average is 150-160

Its def the whole its changing things. The gaming cat on youtube is one of the biggest but its also around 5-20min at a time per video plusss its editing down so what gets done in 2hrs can be seen in 20min ya know?

What's the deal with Trello? I'm image searching it and it just looks like a basic to do list. How is it any better than just having a check off list?

Moulin Rouge is really good for people that don't normally watch musicals.

The Spongebob Musical was a surprisingly good time for me, but I'm chill with musicals. On a side note, I think it's worth watching Sideways' RUclips videos about Les Mis, Cats, and the Disney Remakes as companion pieces to understand what makes a good musicals from bad ones. Even if it's more about the music performances that Musicals as a medium

Oh wow, I've never heard anyone else mention Jesus Christ Superstar before! It's *such* a banger musical. If all religion was that cool, maybe I'd be more interested.

I'm sad I missed this conversation, but I'm glad she at least read out, "Be More Chill." That's one of my favorites!

Jotting all of these down. I've never sought after musicals to see but I do enjoy them when I see them! Been lucky enough to see a couple with some incredible actors, including a few big movie stars returning for a stage performance.

I wonder if Geega has done a musical tier list, or if one can happen in the future. Would like to see her opinion on a few not mentioned here

5:17 5:42 after seeing this clipp I'll have to check it out

The people shitting on IKEA are generally just idiots. Oh, your Ikea table failed after only 3 or 4 years? Which table was it, and how did you use it? Ah - it was a Lack table, and your kids like to stand on it and dance? Well, that table only has 5lbs of material, and it cost you $20! What the hell did you expect from it?!? It owes you NOTHING, at that point!

I love how weird asmr gets. I saw a 3 hour video "girlfriend reads you the entire wikipedia article of the roman empire until you fall asleep." Also there is a horror asmr channel doing like analog horror style videos. Or the one with the muppet. Or gun sounds/ gun cleaning asmr.

gf blows you up with a homemade explosive〖ASMR〗

The person at 5 minutes is weirdly familiar 🤔

Restaurants in the west don't move enough product to gain the benefits of scale, because the only way to serve enough customers to profit at low prices is to have masses and masses of foot traffic, as a place that people normally just walk to can serve a dozen more people at a time than a place that relies on parking, because a car takes up the space of close to a dozen people, plus needs the parking lot to leave the car as you go get your food. This is why hot dog venders are still cheap in the west, because they presume that cars aren't customers and cater entirely to pedestrians that make up 100% of their base, and end up moving tens of times as much product that is larger, tastier, yet far cheaper than even McDonalds is lately. Last I checked, a jumbo sausage and drink is more filling than a big mac meal, yet sold at a third of the cost.

Does anyone know which clip Geega is referring to at 1:16

had to do a double take at the like count, Nice (It was at 69 at writing this)

Only slightly on topic, but... I'm flabergasted that record labels are just cool with streamer playing their music in the background of their streams.

To be fair I think this is, in a way, a self reinforcing situation. She yaps, so people who like yap tune in and people who like games tune out. Do that for six months and you have successfully filtered for an audience who tunes in to yapping and closes tab when the game starts. I think the best answer to the original question is "Because they've found that that's what works for them" I think there are a few reasons that this happens. The first is that, rather than "yapping keeps changing" vs "games are static" as Geega said, I think it's more that everyone who likes a vtuber can enjoy/participate in them chatting, where not everyone who likes a vtuber is necessarily going to like a particular game. Nearly 100% of Geega fans will listen to Geega talk because they like Geega, but Faith filters Geega fans who don't like horror for example. I've definitely skipped out on streams of my oshis because they were playing something I didn't care for. The other reason is because vtuber fans, particularly, tend to be drawn a bit more to that kind of content? Part of the appeal of vtubers versus regular streamers is the character itself yeah? And their lore, backstory, etc. That draws a certain kind of crowd, one that I think is maybe more predisposed to appreciating conversation, whereas people who DON'T care about that stuff are less likely to get into vtubers in the first place. This helps kick off that selection cycle I talked about at the beginning. It also helps develop the third reason: Culture. This is an extension of the self-reinforcing situation but applied to vtubers as a whole. When enough vtubers are "A Certain Way", eventually that becomes just "The Way Vtubers Are". Feeding into this, from the very beginning a lot of vtuber culture was imported from JP idol culture where yapping WAS the content. You were this person's fan because of their music and TV appearances, so just getting to hear them talk more or less directly to you without a script or filter was a special treat. It's like if Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift or someone did a stream chatting with fans, you wouldn't jump in there like "Hey where's the game?" lol That culture is the foundation of vtubing culture, which has caused us to enter into that selection cycle.

It's the same reason that comments sections exist and radio talk and comedy shows, when people still listened to them, always had co-hosts or a call in line. Listening to people have a conversation is interesting to almost everyone, listening to a largely one sided conversation as the streamer is having to pay more attention to the game, has way less appeal.

It's actually pretty easy to install small cell repeaters on light poles - the utility I work for has retrofit kits for old poles + purpose-built new poles.

I agree with the matter so much, I'm just almost dying from laughing at that amazing first commenter "she came out the gate SWINGING" with GEEGA's initial response lol

If you treat it decently, particle board furniture will generally last decades. High end furniture is made to last centuries if treated well. They tend to break because someone did something real stupid and/or violent. Otherwise, they tend to have predated the owners' grandparents. But lots of stuff like that tends to end up stored away unused and forgotten because they don't match modern décor, or is just too heavy to move or too large to fit in many modern homes. Particle board furniture is perfect because it lasts long enough as long as it's not abused, and is a fraction of the price of so-called high-quality furniture.

IKEA is crap but it's quality crap. Perfect for the modern day society that likes to swap shit out every few years rather than keep the same bedframe in the family for a century or two.

in SEA, IKEA is considered expensive

the most important thing about ikea is their systems are flexible and available for decades. i use their ivar shelfs for storage and some of the parts are from the early 90s. no other furniture company i know of can keep up with that.
