	I passed 3000 followers last night on Twitch. I've been streaming speedruns for about 2 years as of last weekend, so to hit this is a really great milestone for me. I just want to say thank you to anyone who's stopped by and watched me do my thing, whether you came to my channel from someone else, GDQs, other online marathons, my Youtube, Twitter, etc.. I put a lot of effort into my games and do my best to be at least a little bit entertaining on stream, so I appreciate anyone who's watched me do this, even if you don't watch me any more yourself. 

	I started off my Twitch channel because of Patty a.k.a. Pcull44444. The first time I was ever on Twitch was from a video on his Youtube saying he was streaming, think it was back in summer 2013 some time, so I checked it out one day because I got really curious and made my own Twitch account so I could talk in chat. If I remember right, he was streaming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with LiamSixx in call. My interest in speedrunning first started from watching SGDQ 2013 and the ZeldaSpeedruns marathon in September 2013. The first stream I've ever done was in November 2013, where I played up to BeanBean Castle in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga on emulator for a few friends. I stopped streaming for a while after that due to depression. I was failing out of my first year of college because I couldn't find the effort in me to put into my schoolwork and it was much more overwhelming than high school was for me, so in the end I dropped out. As a way to cope with this, in February 2014 I broke down and ordered a 3DS XL capture card from Katsukity and started running and routing Kirby Squeak Squad, one of my favorite DS games. Streaming at that time brought me a lot of joy and helped me out of one of the worst times of my life. Idk what I would have done or where I'd be now had I not bought that capture card, but it was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. I streamed almost every day until November 2014, when I got a job working at the family business. Overall, I've speedrun 19 games and 24 categories, most of which I've taken very seriously at some point, and routed 7 categories in 6 of the games I've run. I've also participated in many online marathons, some of my favorites being Collectathon 1, MegaMarathon 2, SpeedRunsCentral Blue and Red, Memeathon, SRG5, SGDQ 2015, and AGDQ 2016. Some of the best friends I'll probably ever have I've met through streaming video games. There's too many names to name here to give it justice, but I appreciate all of you and I'm so glad to be around and be a part of your lives and I sincerely hope you're glad I'm here too <3

	I'd like to do some sort of special for 3000 followers where I play through most of the games I've run in 1 or 2 sittings, but with a currently broken capture card, I can't stream anything in good quality off my 3DS so that idea's a bust atm. I'll probably do that once I get it fixed though. For now I'll just keep running and streaming GBA and Gamecube games, with the occasional Smash 4 stream whenever I feel like it. I want to at least learn and run Wario World though before SGDQ.

	Hope everyone has a lovely day :>
