Translation for old people?

Their wife watches a streamer play the game in the post, which is one where the player gets to design dresses. The streamer she watches is bad at designing dresses, so their wife sends chat messages to the streamer that tell him how to do better.

Northernlion: Streamer Type A Chatter: Someone who cares about the game and tends to backseat game.

She might enjoy a streamer called lilsimsie. Lilsimsie does a lot of cozy games and has done a lot of cute stuff in dressmaker.

Oof, so close to being a haiku. Just one syllable too many.

Can remove ‘that’ and it would do, I think

Smant's chat: "99% quality? Might as well wrap her in a garbage bag lol"

I've been a type A (internally - never actually back seated, just felt pain within) for NL for years. Watching him play dressmaker was deeply healing (bald Gamer™ man playing the pretty dress game and loving it, is basically whatever the opposite of toxic masculinity is) but also probably the most my type A has ever come out. I was writhing in my seat. Also watching the chat give him the worst advice ever killed me. THOSE FABRICS DO NOT GO TOGETHER STOOOOP
