I accidentally helped a Twitch streamer
I play Dead by Daylight. Oftentimes, streamers will use their Twitch handle as their username (as I'm sure they do in most games). I got out of a match where I went against a guy with a TTV in his name. I won against him and wanted to see if he was streaming.
I search his name on Twitch and am lead to a live stream, but this dude wasn't streaming DBD. He was 'just chatting.' But the stream was quiet.
I type in the chat 'were you playing DBD just now?'
He said something, but his stream was completely muted so I could only see his mouth move (and it was covered by a mic). I type in the chat 'I'm sorry you're muted. I can't hear you.'
He starts checking his stream to see what's wrong. I get him to type in chat and communicate with him. Soon, I hear his voice. Then I eventually hear his desktop audio. Apparently, he was doing a music review and was muted this whole time. I was originally worried that his stream got muted due to copyright. Evidently, not the case.
We laughed about it afterwards. I was just gonna say 'ggs' to this guy and that one of his teammates was an asshole in-game. But I ended up saving this dude from doing a whole stream unaware no one could hear him. It's like I was sent his way to aid him.
Downside is he had to restart his stream. But I gave him a follow before we both parted ways virtually.
Maybe it sounds silly but it brought a smile to my face, with how serendipitous it was. Encounters like that don't happen often for me, and now I have a fun story to tell.
