ForeverGrind.fm Plans+Goals

Yo nerds! If you've been to my stream in the past few months you've probably noticed a shift in content and format.

For anyone who hasn't, the backstory is this:

I created a Theory TAS for ALttP between June and August of 2018 (more info here: https://pastebin.com/6sZkqg6F). One byproduct of the process was a lot of raw video content of room grinding (~135GB). Instead of just deleting the source files, I kept them, put them into a playlist, and fired up OBS. My intention was to leave the stream up for a day, mostly as a test to see if my machine could handle it.

A few (understandably) confused people dropped by (thinking I was live), but others came and stayed. I started adding some music playlists and chat games, occasionally switching the videos over to the completed TTAS segments. People kept watching, hanging out in chat, asking questions, chilling in general. A lot of bots showed up. I kept the stream up for a few days in a row but eventually I had to stop as I wasn't able to do much else with my PC while the stream was running.

Over the last few weeks I've only put the stream up sporadically because I can't spare the resources. However, I love having it live and seeing not only runners using it as a learning tool, but all kinds of people coming together to enjoy some good music and chill vibes. Therefore, I'm trying to make 24/7 ForeverGrind.fm a reality.


ForeverGrind.fm Plans and Goals
-------------------------------
Clearly, just having a rotating playlist of the room grind and some music will get stale pretty quickly.

I want to expand the content library with things like:

- Comparison Videos
	- Different room strats / routes side-by-side
	- TTAS segments vs Godsplice or gold segments or WR
	- Gold segments vs PB segments
- Live Commentary
	- TTAS/gold segments
	- PB/Segment reviews for other runners
	- Old PBs from various categories
	- Live Races
- My Gold Segments
- Tutorials
- On-Demand Videos
	- Use a command in chat to request a specific room video / segment / etc. be played

I want to continue developing new themed songrequest days, chat games, and ways to promote other streamers and runners in the community.

Beyond providing this resource and entertainment for the ALttP/Twitch community, I want to create and foster a community of our own: where good music+art is always playing and being shared, something new is learned each day, and nerds from all walks of life can feel comfy.

Or you can just be a degen and play chat gambling games all day @SNESChalmers_ @fsg112
