I've had a bit of luck finding youtubers/twitch streamers who are content to let some dead air go by if they don't have anything important to say, and definitely don't do any yelling or screaming. It's a real nice change.

Partially I'm just making this post to share the few I've been watching the most:

Jagged Appliance, a Supreme Commander player and caster.

Growling Sidewinder, a DCS pilot who goes into detail about dogfighting and BVR fighter jet tactics.

Tasteless, a Starcraft caster who plays Brood War and chess in the Korean timezone.

    My favorite gaming variety channel on YT is probably Christopher Odd. Don't be put off that he's focusing on CP2077 right now, he normally has 2-4 series going concurrently, and his XCOM2 playthroughs are really good stuff, he has serious natural talent, and really is super chill.

    As other have mentioned, Northernlion, he will be loud from time to time, but I've never really seen him get legit mad. This dude has incredible skill across a whole range of genres from chess, to driving, to roguelike, to sports, soulsborne, etc.

    If you like Hearthstone (I actually can't stand playing it but love to watch skilled players' edited video content) check out Trump, I've literally never seen him tilt a single time. I have also branched out to a guy named Dekkster recently who is pretty cool.

    If you like Tarkov, Pestily keeps it about as light as it can get. He is also so good it's like he's playing an entirely different game. Edit: How could I forget about Grimmmz?

      Most of the Tarkov streamers are alright, DeadlySlob is cool as far as I've seen, Sequisha is fun as well as AquaFPS (from my other post) Honestly I'm kinda iffy about Pestily because of his weird takes on being in the Australian Army but ymmv

        I've never heard him talk about it before, did he say some not so good stuff?

          He's just pro Australian army, which makes sense what with group dynamics and shit but I mean I'm not terribly impressed seeing those news stories coming out more and more about how many war crimes they committed. I'm super interested to see some inquiries into the conduct of other NATO members as well, I'm sure Afghanistan was basically treated as horrifically as Vietnam was, seemingly anybody was a justified target ect.

          I'm just not as convinced as he was that he enlisted for the service of his country, and what that really means

          edit: like he has this whole video and apparently he mentions trying out for Spec Ops, so again, ymmv
