Oomi's FAQ

1. Who are you? I'm a 25 year old Texan that speedruns Dark Souls and derps around with casual games if I feel like it. My goal for this stream is to have a fun time speedrunning every Souls game From Software has released. I'm not in a rush to do this however, hence the emphasis on the word "fun". :p

2. You need to calm down. Why don't you? If you have depression and anxiety, you will understand why I can't calm down because someone asks me to. Asking me to calm down is quite insulting because I can't turn it off and on like a light switch. Just like you can't control if you catch a cold. Wouldn't you feel insulted if someone keeps telling you to stop sneezing?

3. What does Oomikami mean? The full name is Amaterasu-Ōmikami is a Shinto goddess that is the goddess of the sun and of the universe. Back when I was fascinated by the video game “Okami”, I always wanted "Amaterasu" or "Okami" as my alias. When I used to a MMO nerd, I had the option to name myself a different name. I wanted Amaterasu, but that was taken. And the game could not comprehend different lettering, so I decided to emphasis the “O” and “Oomikami” was born. Though I no longer go by this alias anymore, the name stayed the same on my Twitch channel. You can find out more about Amaterasu on the wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaterasu

4. Why do you not show your face? Something I heard a Youtuber say that also does not show his face is this: the power of the voice is a good part of entertainment and an added visual of a person can take away from that experience. Not only that, but I know how many people believe a girl's only way to success on Twitch is by exposing herself to fan-service or her face for the sake of donations or subscriptions. That is not who I am and not something I believe in. And anyways, it does coincide with my first point, so I just do not show my face either way.

5. What state are you from? Texas

6. Will you stream today or tomorrow? When will you stream? Why haven't you streamed? Etc. Several reasons are apart of what determine these questions. One, I get sick quite often that I literally am just unable to function normally or stream. Two, my future is a bit muddy right now that I have no idea if I can be able to focus on streaming full time, so real life can get in the way a lot.

7. Can I buy your paintings? Yes, you certainly can! Drop a $15+ tip specifying what painting you would want as a wallpaper (check out my tumblr: http://oomikami.tumblr.com/ ). I will usually give your wallpaper immediately in a Twitch private message after the stream or within the following 72 hours. (Please remind me if I forget)

8. Can I read you writing? I'm a pretty bad writer at the moment because none of my novels are published or even in the second draft stage. I'll be taking my time writing all of this out because I don't want to rush a work of art, and that's what I consider my novels and the world I created. It's sort of jealousy guarded world that I don't want anyone to hear about until it actually comes on the shelves to prevent any plagiarism.

9. You should read a book aloud and make money from it! Why don't you? Simple, no one's asked me to do that.

10. How long have you been speedrunning? If I remember correctly, I started speedrunning some time during October 2014. I've been on and off during 2015, but 2016 hope will be the year I aim for new heights on this stream. Hop along the ride :)

11. What is moveswap? "It allows the player to transfer the running, rolling attack and plunging attack from one weapon to another and is commonly used in speedruns since it can double the damage output when used correctly. It works on all patch versions of the game."

12. What is RTSR? Red Tearstone Ring for short. "Increase the attack rating of equipped weapons by 50% when the player's health is under 20%."

13. Fudge? Cows.

14. I don't get it. You're not supposed to.
