Drex's September 2018 Patebin

Last month I posted a pastebin about taking a more proactive approach to trying to reach partner on twitch... and while that is still my plan, you may have noticed that my stream schedule has changed drastically to what it once was.

First, I'd like to apologize for that.For the past 6 months or so I have been the go-to late night stream for a lot of people. Knowing this and the fact that I would probably lose out on a lot of my host support I made the decision to stream during the day more often. There are a ton of reasons I've risked loss of views/hosts/revenue to do this... my girlfriend works a pretty demanding job and our time together is limited, since going on the late night schedule it left us about 2 hours a day (if we were lucky) to spend together during the week... and on the weekends when she is off, I am either 1) getting no sleep and being a grumpy asshole to her or 2) being a complete degenerate and sleeping all day while she sits around trying to find something to do. She has been so supportive of during this journey on twitch and it was not fair for me to continue to take advantage of her willingness to sacrifice so much for me to do this. In addition to relationship reasoning, the biggest deciding factor in my switch to day  time streams/earlier evenings is my health. As many of you may know I suffer from a myriad of autoimmune diseases and sleep deprivation and general sedentary lifestyle do not help the issues... they make them much worse. I've gained a lot of weight, my blood pressure has been elevated, my energy level is low, my depression has been crippling at some points and I've dealt with 2 months of passing kidney stones as a result of bad diet/habits over the last 6 months. What's the point of pushing so hard to make partner if I cut my life short/compromise my ability to do what I love, stream. With this change in schedule I can be improve my health both mental and physically... I can get outside during the day and enjoy some sunshine and I can do things with my girlfriend. I can also focus on eating a little bit healthier rather than what's convenient for me.

But, rest assured other than a change in time not much else will change! I've been working hard on refining the content schedule and I think I've got a pretty good thing going... you are interested in checking out what that is, you can pop in the discord @ https://discord.gg/dWYB6Dq. Additionally I am having a 1-Year affiliate anniversary stream next Thursday (Sept 27th) and all the info on that is also in the discord. I appreciate the support over the last few months from everyone and I am going to keep grinding hard with the goal of twitch partnership in mind, but I will continue to do so by creating better content and building an amazing community. I look forward to see you all in the future whether it's in my own stream or one of the wonderful people I'm blessed to call friends on twitch!
