Its so good to see Thor win this, it was surreal just getting the category after a full year of complaining about it everyday on stream, and this is like 10 times more surreal than that.

[@b_dodders7902]

He was complaining about it?

[@sgd_the_boss8860]

[@cyberdemon1702]

Complaining? That’s one way to look at it.

[@quadarada2342]

his name is fck Thor?

[@digitumsoftware]

Thor totally not shitting himself and concentrating on not tripping up as he headed onto stage. gopirastonks! The totally not a AI. The legend. The Pirate Software.

"Whow this thing is really heavy, holy shit... hey cool tey even got my voicechanger on this mic!"

PirateSoftware is probably the coolest guy on Twitch right now. Not even his content, I mean him as a person. He's so openminded and real

[@larkreid7960]

10000% yes! I've only just discovered him about 3 weeks ago, and I strive to be like him. He immediately jumped up the ranks to my top 3 people on the internet that I like or admire. I love his vibe and he is such a nice dude who is very open about caring about other people. You don't see that type of genuine open care much any more. I wish him the best in life. His knowledge and life advice has been invaluable. He deserves the best.

Is it really? The catagory was basically made for him. It’s hardly well deserved when he was really the only one running

[@IAmTehGuy.]

@@mrbubbles6468 Suuuuure bro. It's almost like they have a streamer award for each category they add... Award shows add categories every year. Did you also complain when Jerma got the legacy award in 2023 when he was the only one nominated because the winner was chosen via a panel??

[@mostlysilentprotagonist]

Don't get me wrong, I love DougDoug and the programming antics he does, but even he knew that it was over when Pirate Software was in the running because Pirate Software is an absolute programming beast.

[@mrbubbles6468]

I mean, he’s one of the msin reasons it is even a thing to start with. Twitch and everyone else would have been silly not to make sure he won the first one. The skills as a programmer have little to do with why he actually won.

[@kurtiswatson97]

​@@mrbubbles6468 my guy who hurt you? Twice you've said the same thing on two different comments. He won because of his background, if quill was still doing his game making series he'd be a hair behind thor if not looked at the same. People wanna celebrate, let them brah.

[@kingti85]

​@@mrbubbles6468The award is "best streamer" not "most skilled programmer" so yeah I would think that means its not wholly dependant on your programming skills as a streamer. Sort of like how Cenk's nephew could win "best political streamer" even though he has the worst political opinions in the entire history of mankind.

[@RisqueBisquetz]

Thor is an amazing person but his specialty is in offensive security. More accurately in "digging", "breaking and entering", and "social engineering". So no he's not a "programming beast", in fact he would be the first to admit that the other 3 would beat him in programming lol

[@mkspind3l]

Glad Thor won he deserved it prob the most wholesome guy on the platform

[@kingti85]

OMG his voice is totally different here. Bro really does have the bass on his stream mic turned up to 11 😮

[@goldenpie6]

It probably actually has to do with something called the "proximity effect". Thor talks relatively close to his mic and that adds a lot more low end to the sound

[@levantos]

Why was Prime not nominated does anybody know?

[@ismbks]

my exact thoughts

[@Sunless1337]

"make it bad" *Sweet Baby Inc. enters the chat* "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

[@TealJosh]

literally done nothing wrong and has consulted multiple excellent games. it's fake outrage. Also, thor has zero issues with sweet baby inc.

[@Sunless1337]

@@TealJosh Seems like you either agree with everything they've been doing/saying or are ignorant of it all. Either way, hard-disagree on the morality point. Provide the "excellent" titles and the changes/impact they made, which otherwise wouldn't have been the case in the games, and people can check out the validity.

[@TealJosh]

@@Sunless1337 the impact sweet baby has had on the very public list of titles is not known. That's the whole reason why the outrage against sweet baby is so worthless. There is no evidence they've had any negative impact on anything. I'm in bed trying to sleep so I'm not going to bring up other titles than Alan Wake 2. If you are interested in more, @ me again and I'll get back to you tomorrow. Before doing that though, you could just google it. Sweet baby contracts out consulting. The idea is that if you are going to represent some group, a member of that group should probably be part of the process. In theory I have nothing against this. I'm sceptical of sweet baby mostly because they are weirdo money people who probably don't care about any of the values, just the money flow. They then hire people of those groups and act as middleware.

[@herkermerhomolka3603]

did he go through reverse puberty? what happened to his deep voice lol

[@dankxcore]

I'm also trying to figure this out.. The speech from the livestream did not sound like this, this sounds more like the Thor from the hotdog peeling video while the stream itself of the same footage sounded more like your average, deeply voiced Thor. I don't wanna be one of those "THOR USES A VOICE CHANGER" guys but this is a bit strange.. Either way, I enjoy the dude and his content regardless. This is just a bit confusing.

[@mc94613]

​@dankxcore he boosts his bass and this shows it. His voice didn't change like he said. All streamers lie

[@dankxcore]

@@mc94613 The reason I'm confused though is because this footage came from the exact same stream. I would imagine they'd have the tech and people to boost the bass live while he was on stage, but if they did that it would (or should) be reflected here assuming this is just a clip from QT's vod.

[@mitchlymer]

When you are nervous your voice can raise in pitch

[@dankxcore]

After watching again I think it was a combination of this and alcohol that had me convinced he was sounding way higher pitch than usual, but it's really not that intense of a difference. I think I'm just slowly losing it lmao @@mitchlymer

[@rcs.]

no mortdog?

[@vladG51]

He doesn't actually stream him developing tft, so despite him being a developer, he is not really a gamedev "streamer"

[@brickbiscuit2080]

Well deserved win. No one may have known about Thor a year ago but within that year he’s given so much encouragement and wisdom to others that his popularity blew up. Excellent job Thor!!!

[@OA_Lisku]

THIS WAS RIGGED! we must strike ……………….

[@herkermerhomolka3603]

so weird he changes his voice on his stream. Even more weird he pretends he went through "second puberty" to achieve his deeper voice LOL, cringe.

[@Zabiru-]

Reading yours and other people's comments here I started to wonder if that was a thing even. "Second puberty" isn't a thing as far as I can tell, but I did find some people claiming that male voices can get lower a second time in their early thirties. This checks out with Thor since he's 36 and the change happened within the last 5 years as I understand it. By calling it second puberty I think he meant it as how your voice drops as a man during puberty, not that he literally went through puberty for the second time. Option #2 is that it had to do with his weight. Obese people have higher amounts of Estrogen hormone than those who are of normal weight. Higher estrogen levels mean lower testosterone and Thor has said that he's lost a fair bit of weight so this could potentially also explain it since higher testosterone levels tend to result in a deeper voice. There's a video on his channel where he shows what his voice used to sound like and the difference is pretty significant. I'm no sound engineer or anything, but the difference seems too big for it to be changed by tuning his microphone differently. His voice sounds deep, but to my ears at least it still sounds naturally deep, not artificially so. Plus it seems really far-fetched that he first would pretend to have a deeper voice by messing with his mic settings and then have an old clip of himself from 5 years ago with a higher-pitched voice to show what he used to sound like.
