So for a lot of people, they probably see me as a part-time streamer because I am barely on. I am doing probably between 100 to 150, which is a lot lower than the norm. One thing I will say about gamers and gaming is that a lot of these streamers and a lot of these guys and girls who are putting 200-300 hours in a month on stream… one thing I do very differently is that they go for those kind of numbers-which is great that they can do all that, but for me personally I don’t want to do that because I want to make sure I am giving a lot of time to my son and my wife.

You know, the culture of the gaming industry I think is always kind of going to be the same. More so than shifting the actual culture of the industry. What can I do to continue to do well on Twitch and YouTube? The biggest thing for me is trying to have a balance where I can still stream, still work, and also be present in my son’s life. When I first had my son, it was almost this shift of the reason for what I am doing, if that makes sense? It was a wake up call, like-okay, how long am I going to be able to stream? I am getting old in the gaming space. I have been doing this for about eight years now. But more about-I have kind of grown up myself. So I got some time, but I think ultimately, I guess in my head, it’s less so about the way that I’m-quote un-quote- presenting myself way differently from when I first started out.
