Stream Ideas / Changes

Current Stream Plans - Content

As a full time streamer I feel like I have to move on with content in terms to continue growth whilst also trying out new ideas to bring in new viewership. I've always liked to experiment and try new content every now with new games / speedruns / interactions over time.

I'm still doing Mario Party speedruns as they've always been very chill and most of the time I'm just reading chat and not taking it too seriously. It's the perfect kind of game IMO and the viewers are great.

Mario Kart 64 is also a lot of fun with a ton of improvement to go so I'll keep doing that for a while too.

New Content Plans/Ideas
----------------------------------------------

Looking to maybe upgrade into a proper Broadcaster Microphone rather than a Broadcaster Headset, I've been keeping an eye on the Shure SM7B which would work with my mixer and only would require buying a stand with it. If I'm gonna take streaming seriously this might be my next big investment regardless of the $400 cost. Headsets can be pretty tedious to wear all the time when streaming and I just wanna be as cozy as my viewers with the best quality possible :)

Right now what I want my viewers to experience is different kinds of content rather than sticking to specific games only and becoming very repetitive. Mixing in a bit of variety, speedrunning and casual.

Sunshine Any% Speedruns - Soon™ I'm practising it currently, so far 1/3 way through learning the game but it'll take time, once I'm comfortable with everything I'll do runs of it occasionally. It'll be fun for sure.

Super Mario Bros 2 Warpless Speedruns - I actually love this game and really enjoy watching Darbian do runs of this, I'd love to give it a shot myself even without practising it for fun. Maybe learning it through trial and error would be more fun. Sucks I sold my lost levels cart like an idiot but I'll buy a new one :P

Blind Back to Back Speed Playthroughs - Having a day a week where I play 2/3 games blind and try complete them as fast as possible. This idea came from one of the weekly races where we did the gameboy games (Wario Blast, Kirbys Dreamland and Super Mario Land 2). It was a huge success and I'd love to recreate that vibe with the right game choices. I'm gonna be testing this with Goldeneye + Perfect Dark back to back.

Casual Playthroughs - Completing games fully. Had a lot of success in the past with Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Twilight Princess and Spyro games. Looking to play through Links Awakening (my fave zelda game), Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Spyro Year of the Dragon and lots more.

Saturday Viewer/Sub Nights - Since I feel that there was no interest in growth with the Weekly Races I decided to scrap it and test his out. We'll decide the games through discord and who is available to play beforehand :) Sometimes there will be stream viewer games as well though.

Games I've stopped running / playing
---------------------------------------------

You've probably notice as well I've completed dropped speedrunning Zelda games, most specifically Wind Waker HD.

The reason for this is because I've already pushed Wind Waker HD as far as I wanted to before Barrier Skip was figured out, ever since that was figured out the run was pretty much basic movement, 60% cutscenes and a high amount of RNG involved which is boring as hell to run.
Not only that but I was the only one testing + optimising the game properly for around half a year, beating the WR by a whole 4 minutes at one point. Eventually only for someone to use all the stuff I figured out and gave me no credit for anything. It was a community I didn't want to be part of.

Ocarina of Time had a mechanic calling ESS which was tedious for me and I could never perfect it, sometimes in life even with practice you wont be as natural with some things as others and just have to accept it. This lead to a lot of the fun factor being ruined for me despite thinking the game is amazing.

Smash Bros Speedruns I stopped a while ago because despite the fantastic viewership I got for Melee speedruns, no one was actually willing to support the stream from that viewership because of the types of viewers who would only come to the stream for those runs, what we usually label as the worst kind of viewers sadly.

I will still do melee speedruns, sega bass fishing and snowboard kids speedruns from time to time just for the fans but please do not request it / expect it.

I want to apologize as well for the people who really wanted to see me play Majoras Mask and Paper Mario TTYD speedruns but I have not felt too excited to run these games either due to the feel of the game, the amount of run killers, difficulty or how much actual gameplay there is in the run that's exciting to play/watch.

Other Notes
---------------------------------------------

I really appreciate all the people who support and even just watch my stream. Thank you all for helping me and believing in me!
There's a huge list of people who have given me motivational support throughout my whole streaming career and you guys have been the best <3

I'm half way to making my dream become true at 250 subs so far, if I hit 400-600 subscribers one day I'll be able to say I succeeded in my streaming goal and can afford to live well.

Its been a rollercoaster of emotions as business has its ups and down days/weeks/months, but I'm always going to stay strong and believe in myself.
The exercise I've added into my lifestyle so far has definitely helped my confidence a lot too, even as simple as just doing jogging, swimming and pushups regularly.
