Like the Arkham games let you live out your Batman fantasies.
This is beginning to sound more like a you problem. Not everyone is self-inserting into every game and getting deeply emotionally invested in that specific character. Sometimes its just fun to play.
I don't play DDR to live out my dreams of being a backup dancer for a boy band. I enjoy working up a sweat listening to gay europop trash because its hilarious.
he picked an absurd, arbitrary object that doesn't even exist in the game
He took something that was already impressive on its own in game and then doubled it. Its an entire industry to gain uniqueness among the crowd in streaming and the like.
LobosJr didn't have to do barehand, 1 hp runs of Dark Souls games. But he did and now people know him as that guy. He went from one of thousands of generic Souls challenge runners and now is a named meme everyone knows.
If you want to say streaming/youtubing as a whole is a gay industry that everyone is wasting their time in entirely, that's one thing. But this is literally how that game is played, its picking whatever you can be best at (skill, charm, funny, rage, fail, etc) and using it to make you stand out.
