Pikachu Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-01-21-youtuber-sacrifices-sleep-to-stream-donkey-kong-64-raises-usd300-000-for-trans-kids Quote What do you get when you mix Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Donkey Kong's voice actor and a very tired YouTuber? A highly successful Twitch stream for a trans charity, of course! Over the past few days, YouTuber H.Bomberguy (Harry Brewis) has streamed Donkey Kong 64 to raise money for trans charity Mermaids. The stream began on 18th January, with the aim of fully completing Donkey Kong 64: a feat which has apparently eluded H.Bomberguy since childhood. We can be thankful it's taken him this long, however, as his ambitious mission has raised over $340,000 (£233,490). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose once they gain some traction, if a million people view it, they'd only need one in three to donate to make that kind of money.

Rodimus Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Sacrificing sleep for gaming could get you killed. I would be concerned in doing that. Hasn't people died playing games for days without sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The best part is watching tough guys get low-key salty about this even though it has no affect on them whatsoever and they shouldn't give a single shit about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
