# these hills are always classic aren't they odd half questions researchers have no real answers for one's which feel awkward and which one would rather not engage with usually moments before dying again to the legendary 'rocks smurfin' the virtual world's more notorious and annoying stream sniper one with an aim that's quote a little bit too magnetic which many researchers in fact suspect is a sentient human-ai bot out of virtual russia after dying repeatedly to such an adversary researchers often say depressing stuff like 'there's nothing out here' what they appear to talking about specifically is the sorry state of multiplayer playspace not just about stream lag inconsistent hit registration terrible directional audio ghost melees sudden server disconnects but about researchers with red bars next to ir name not merely tiresome laundry lists of hacks exploits and cheats that go unaddressed for years or the divided user bass but rather ir own super generic bare minimum recycled copypasta nature which feels lazy empty soulless and mindlessly repetitive that if this wasn't a full time slogging job lozenge in which one is kinda forced to play yet another popular inherently naff grindy mutiplayer title for views and clicks wow remember those stuffed with with shield campers and sweaty randos they'd never stream at all to consider just how existentially miserable that feels watch carefully they're dying inside burnt out and terminally bored doing everything they can to remain andor look motivated and keep the stream energy high less viewers tune out so yeah in this sense the hills are classic in the sense they never darn change and bizarre airless electronic deadness sets in again a drizzling virtual rain of silent information tears // republic of bob
