"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Josh, while it’s still autumn, you should play Night in the Woods on stream. The guy Zoe Quinn forced into suicide did the music for it and it’s actually pretty comfy. However, because it’s made by soydevs, the central characters are Life is Strange levels of insufferable at times, so your mileage may vary on how unintentionally funny you may perceive the dialogue.

If you’re not achievement-hunting and aren't the slowest reader in the world, the game’s like 3-4 hours tops.

The theme of the characters in Night in the Woods is that they're young adults who haven't grow up yet. The main character is the worst, just totally annoying and unlikable. I played it a few months ago, and I enjoyed the character interactions with the perspective that they're immature kids who think they know more than they do and also think they're way funnier than they really are. I'm not calling it a masterpiece, but I see people (in general, not just this game) fall into thinking that characters are poorly written because they're unrelatable.

Also I realize I'm saying that while donning the form of Alex Yiik, but to be clear, Alex is not a good character falsely maligned because the audience doesn't "get" him. He just sucks.

I don’t disagree and I personally don’t mind the dialogue myself, but I can see a lot of people turned off by it. I think Mae’s a great POV character and she has a proper character arc and everything, but if you really don’t like quirky alt chick characters then the game loses a lot of its appeal seeing as how it’s largely dialogue-driven.

based on previous game streams jersh would probably spend the whole game attempting to kill her so it could be comedic in a way...
 
Has someone compiled a “Best of MATI”, yet? I know we have the archives, but a good thing to do for the Gumroad people and others might be to compile what @Null thinks are the best and what the fans think are the best.

If you can link to archives or whatever it would be okay content because some streams you have done have been golden. I’d include streams with other people as honorable mentions, I.E. Rekieta streams that you join or the Four Horseman (you as Famine/ The BLACKED Rider) stream talking about He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named-In-November.

My picks

Full Streams:
Buck Breaking and Smash Bros. Autism

Mobility Mary

Trans Lifeline

Mama June

Clips:
How to tell if someone is an Anime pedophile

The Buffalo Cube

Null becomes an anime girl

Null becomes Ethan Ralph

Final Solutions, LLC

Null debates Ethan Ralph, laughs so hard it blows out his audio.
 
I'll add to this with some of my favorites which weren't posted:

Streams:
Deagle Nation Stream
Josh's final appearance on Dick's Show, since it was great to see Dick have a meltdown because Josh refused to agree with him on defending pedos
Banned from the US for Thinking about the N Word Too Much, just because its my favourite stream title.
Kengle Stream, probably the most concentrated autism out of all the person streams, e.g. Never-ending stream of autistic websites, Boiled Hamburgers, Buffalo Cube, Sonichen & Rosechen
JustinRPG Stream, also extremely autistic but also kinda wholesome since he's just a harmless guy singing about his love for Rashiram, poop and vore. (LUBBY CHUDDER)

Clips:
Kiwi Farms entry on the scary logos wiki
Beejams
Nikocado Avocado witnesses a murder
Rainbow Dash Holocaust
Fligu Gigi Posting

Big thanks to @Mister Tanuki for all these clips, (YouTube)

I'd love for Josh to play YIIK. There's a big update coming soon (tm) which is hopefully going to make the combat less of a slog. (Dick and Vito are also getting added to the game lol)

His conversations with people over the phone are always great:

Here's a bit I would put on the "best of" collection. During the original Chantal stream, timestamp 45:45, Josh starts shuffling around to get a drink and promptly spits Vodka all over himself after someone types in the chat, "Josh is taking his pants off." It was a hysterical moment followed by Chantal's threeway-poop-and-vomit story.
 
I quite enjoyed the last gaming stream. I always wind up waking up to late to catch MATI live, but I look forward to it every week.

I would for sure put the time Josh got drunk during an older stream (44:50) and made a useless people/useful people of IBS diagram in a "best of" compilation. I don't care about IBS but shit had me dying. I had no idea what he was talking about but I also knew exactly what he was talking about.

ETA: Josh getting rick rolled (8:53) during the A-log stream, for obvious reasons.
