I'm guessing these posts don't get much posts.

KSP is that kind of game. The only commentary that goes well over it is science-y commentary a la Scott Manley or the like. It's not very well suited to the style of the (aptly named) Twitch streaming community.

Have either of you watched ShimmytheJJ before?  He's incredibly engaging and is actually a joy to watch.  He's been a top KSP streamer on Twitch for a long time before he took what was likely a well-needed 3 or so month break from streaming.  He was also one of the main KSP streamers on KSPTV for a long time.  I myself missed his streams a lot while he was away, he always has interesting designs and plays with a variety of different mods...from an RSS install to KAS/KIS and full LS suite, interplanetary launch pads, etc... so always something interesting to see.

While I understand it may be something you guys aren't into...the statement that "i'ts (sic) just pointless" is just like...your opinion man and shouldn't be stated as fact as it's not one.  I also agree that Twitch Thursdays on the Daily Kerbal are fairly lacking and I think SQUAD should make a change; that discussion has already happened in the community and SQUAD has apparently decided to make no change in that regard (at least thus far).

@Ignath: Oh yeah, I totally forgot about DasValdez and Shimmy and that sort of thing. DasValdez in particular is awesome-I love how he leverages the live format with his Kerbal Space Academy series, beyond the "hey guyz put 1 in chat if u think I should do dis thing" of many streamers. While I respect people that do that and simply enjoy the long-form setup of streaming, I also think the best examples of the live format are tutorials, because you can take questions live from people watching. (Speaking of long-form, why can't I ever accidentally write half an essay when I'm doing homework?)
