REAL VAMPIRE STREAMING ON TWITCH? - Let's Play: Coteries of New York #5

[@vector10001]

The idea of becoming immortal just so you can play every game you ever dreamed of is so appealing to me.

[@Alkis05]

Then again, you can't order blood bags delivery. You would have to spend a large portion of the night hunting. Plus, if all you do is gaming, it means you are not going to became anybody, which means you will possibly have a shorter life then a human.

[@monsouranda2822]

Yes, Internet Cafe is pretty much alive. Specially in Asia and I have a hint why: 1) Because Competitive gaming culture is currently really big in this days. Yes you can do that in you're personal space but some people do prefer to have an interaction with other people. 2) Not all people had their own personal computer and probably the biggest reason why internet cafe are really big. 3) Most people go to internet cafe to kill some time. Highschool/College mostly. Internet cafe's are mostly near at school like couple of blocks near and even inside the mall making it easier for people to check them out.

[@Sketchblopp]

We (Berlin, Germany) still have internet cafés, but it is really rare. Usually it's combined with a small shop, printing service, a bar or other things. Shops that are not only for internet use but also for gaming... This was always a rare thing on the places I visited.

[@R_FangZ]

We don't really have internet cafes here in Romania anymore, they might have been a thing when I was little but not anymore. I see the appeal in Japan though, and I heard from a friend who spent a few months in South Korea that they're popular there as well, because apparently they always upgrade their PCs there with the latest models, newest monitors, whatever, and apparently it's not particularly expensive to use them either if you spend a long time there (maybe they have monthly or weekly subscriptions, idk). I imagine it works well for people because they can just go there and play specific games that they want that they couldn't on their computers at home and not worry about saving money for months to buy a new PC with components that will become outdated in just a few years. And well.. competitive gaming is also popular there. In Romania obviously that doesn't happen because if anyone here tried to open up an internet cafe, they'd just buy some average PCs on sale and not change any components for years. It's a mix of incompetence and lack of demand really.

[@eruiluvatar236]

There are still some internet cafes in Spain. In my city of about 250k people there there is still one and two places that have a single computer available. Two years ago my friend closed the other one that was standing (no cafe, only computers). According to him most of the business was kids whose parents didn't let them game or couldn't afford a computer, photocopies and printing was another important part of it and so was providing cheap calls to foreign countries but eventually that wasn't enough to earn a living and there was no way he could afford renovating the computers that were beginning to get a bit old.

[@Heramitep]

This was great. Love the way you did the different voices for Hope’s numerous @ handles!

[@Melthazar]

I'll vote for Tamika next. Every coterie needs a dedicated close combat specialist)

[@Neophoia]

As somebody who just yesterday spilled hot chocolate over my desk. yes, tissues are really nice to have close by so that you don't accidentally destroy your keyboard when being clumsy.

[@GahloWake]

"weird outfit choice" I mean, Malkavian.

[@ude4225]

omg I was wondering how to make a kind of a hive mind in vampire without being too weird and Hope is such an interesting idea! When a Malkavian is well made is soo amazing

[@CyrusB1]

These are amazing, Outstar! Love the definitions for the terms, and the story is really intriguing. Thanks for being our narrator for the World of Darkness!

[@vladavram492]

Saddens me to say that the last internet café closed a few years back. Many of my fond childhood memories were in such places. Spending long nights with friends, pizza and MMO's or Shooters.

[@MrHacros]

Playing like Malkavian, and interacting with the rest of the characters in this game is my dream.

[@bricemodica9232]

In the south American country I live in, internet cafes are common (they're less like a cafe though), and tons of kids play forrnite there because they probably lack the internet speed or hardware to play at home.

[@MastaToSch]

Haha, love the girl. Love me some Malks in general. Would vote for D'Angelo next. Nosferatu detective? Sign me up for that!

[@skelethrone666]

In baltics internet cafes are dead.printing places are here,but only for download and printing

[@Charok1]

the netflix Witcher show is pretty good, Outstar we print things at public libraries in USA. I've never even seen an internet cafe, but more and more people own their own computers with wifi in cities now I keep TP at the computer to blow nose since I'm too lazy to get up and go to bathroom, haha

[@saqwana25]

in the city i am in doesn't have one but at the mall about 10 miles way has one. and i think the nearest city new haven has afew around the ground.

[@joerenzi2373]

The astronaut tattoo is a nice homage to the art from the nWoD books

[@cameron-yo6zp]

the writing in the game is surprisingly good, though I've noticed a few hiccups, it's much better written than most of the vampire related content I usually see on the internet

[@davidwhitfield6025]

Thank you so very much for convincing me to buy this great game. Treated my self for my Birthday and am now deep in the story, fighting of fleeing from Second Inquisition Soldiers, getting involved with Camarila plots, Anarch shennanigans and generally making friends and presumably powerful enemies. Wish they had allowed you to play both sexes and more clans (Tremere!) but was really chuffed to meet a legend amongst the Warlocks. Made me wonder if dear old Max Straus survived or has he been drawn to the Levant (being 7th gen I'm guessing he is gone which is sad). Have a Great Christmas dear Lady of the Night.

[@Philistine47]

Hecking wild. I vote for D'Angelo next, then Tamika.

[@BleakBlueJay]

Yeah we've still got internet cafes. Not everyone can afford a gaming computer so they'll go to the cafe to play with their friends. I've thought about doing it since mine can barely handle Skyrim graphics, but the cafes rack up a hefty cost and I'd rather just save up for a new pc or a console

[@julianfeo1995]

Loving this playthrough, dont like narrative games like this but love anything vampire the masquerade. Keep up the episodes ✌

[@vesperbonneville749]

There are very few Internet cafes in my area of NY, but nobody goes there to play fort nite. 😂

[@ross8093]

I think it would be really interesting to have a toreador in a coterie of outcasts so say you can get two more member i' d go with D'Angelo and the Gangrel woman who's name I cannot remember. Or the Tremere since he's sort of part of an outcast clan. (But our Nossie boi is necessary imo)

[@CT_Phipps]

I kind of think Hope resembles you enough that you could do a cosplay Outstar OR SHE'S YOUR WORLD OF DARKNESS COUNTERPART.

[@v.emiltheii-nd.8094]

There is 1 or 2 internet cafes where I live. Not that many tho.

[@AceHardy]

🔥

[@frankparker1191]

D'Artagnan... I mean... D' Angelo the gumshoe.

[@mbalazs3544]

psl do this series more often i cant w8t for the next episode XD

[@willynthepoorboys2]

Jack Sprat could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean.

[@sebastianhahn8498]

I may start to sound like a broken record but... D'angelo

[@Melthazar]

Hope whole quest line is awesome)

[@nodamiaen]

outstar i just had an ideas guy moment: vtmb2 nightclub haven for vampire hunters that's glam-rock themed and plays billy idol's white wedding. please use your op charisma on the paradox devs to make it happen

[@skelethrone666]

Maybe acherontas next?

[@liminal_entity1331]

After hearing your description of how you envision SexyBozo to be, I came to the realization that they are me... Hit a little close to home, but I'm not ashamed. Passion is liable to come out in a multitude of ways, especially when you are a true romantic at heart. Anyway, Hope is awesome, probably my favourite character so far. I would suggest going to see Agathon next, but that's mainly because I love clan Tremere. Agathon is interesting, if a little dull, but then what Tremere isn't? Tamika is another good choice. I personally haven't gone to see D'Angelo yet in my playthrough, so I can't really say on him. Overall though, I would definitely say that Hope is the most interesting of all the potential allies in the game, so you've met the best, now you just have to meet the rest.

[@donimmortal7692]

4chan must be full of vampires.

Kids don't do it in São Paulo - Brazil 🤣🤣

[@alicemalice2597]

New episode, nice!

[@richardvaldes3959]

[@anneonyme213]

Wait, so she effectively asked you to "moderate"... her...? Errrrrrr....

[@kevinkirchner8839]

Would you still spend your time playing online games if you weren't immortal and didn't have all the time in the world?...

[@ya-rx8nd]

Tamika next

[@ricetoreuniversale]

Tremere next
