I have brain damage and forget things VERY easily LOL

Be yourself, relax, and just keep yapping. Numbers aren't everything, and focus on making a community.

I've been streaming for 7 years.

• Evil Within
• Resident Evil
• Fatal Frame

Night of the Living Dead

I'm left-handed (LOL).

Do not expect to become big, just have fun with what you're doing.

02/2021

• Resident Evil
• Alien Isolation
• Madison

All the Alien movies!

I taught myself SFX makeup during COVID lockdown times as I was bored.

Play what you want to play, don’t play games you think others will like. The viewer numbers go up and down all the time.. don’t be too focused on them, it will take the fun away!

03/2020

• Poppy Playtime
• Mortuary Assistant
• Little Nightmares

The Menu (More a thriller), but also The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I hold a world record

Don't focus on your numbers, enjoy what you do, and play what makes you happy

Halloween or Scream!

I have 13 brothers and sisters!

Always take the time to focus on your mental and physical health. Don't be afraid to ask other streamers for help or collaborations, and always stay hydrated! More importantly, enjoy your streaming journey!

08/2020

• Labyrinthine
• Silent Hill 2
• Amnesia

The Serpent and the Rainbow

One of my proudest achievements is losing 180 lbs!

Don't hesitate to ban people that make either you or your community uncomfortable. Stand your ground with your rules! It is YOUR stream!

December 2021

• Resident Evil 4

Carrie

I have 10 tattoos currently and am continuously increasing that amount (I have the start of a Hayao Miyazaki sleeve and next will be a mental health sleeve).

3 things: have fun with it, make friends along the way, and make sure your sound alerts are working otherwise chat will riot.

05/2021

• Bramble
• Outlast
• Visage

Monster Squad

That my tendons are twisty and I can bend my body in weird ways.

Turn off viewer count and pretend you are hanging with a room of people. Assume people are lurking in chat and have fun!

January 2022

• Alien Isolation
• SOMA
• Dead Space 2

Aliens

My very first video game console was Sega Master System.

There will be highs and lows, the best thing you can do is just keep moving forward and keep chasing the dream.

September 2022

• Outlast Trials
• Alice Madness Returns
• Dark Pictures Anthology (Including Until Dawn!)

It always feels impossible to answer this... lmao! I have to say the first Saw movie. I'm a gore-fan, and Saw 1 opened up a new world for the gore-genre.

I don't eat or like fruit, vegetables, or berries (ONLY CUCUMBER!). Never has, never will. The taste is something evil that I can't describe. I found research years ago that there is a 4% of people who have these weird tastebuds when it comes to greens and fruits. That's why, on stream, we have a rule: If we hit follower goals, the community decides what fruit, veggie, or berry I have to eat on stream. They love it, I don't.

BE YOU! Always prioritize the chat, the interactions, be curious and get to know people. And... Turn that viewcount button OFF!

February 2023

• Silent Hill: The Room
• Alien: Isolation
• Alice Madness Returns

Suspiria (both the iconic classic and the solid remake)

I had a rare condition as a teenager which attacked my brain and caused me to have to relearn how to walk, draw, play guitar, and basically do everything again.

Don’t sweat. Talk heaps, be yappy, and be real. Learn to steal like an artist and make something that is truly yours which you are proud of instead of trying to be someone else.

06/20

• Dead by Daylight
• Silent Hill 2 (both versions)
• Amnesia

The Exorcist

I have been in a few metal bands over the years as lead shouty person and I have a house bunny named Mr. Buns!

Think about your brand, represent yourself and be genuine. Be chatty regardless of who’s watching, even if no one’s there! It’s tough but will make your VODs more attractive to potential viewers. Don’t be scared to set boundaries and enforce them, your mental wellbeing is more important than numbers!

Your follower count only counts for affiliate, after that I don’t think it matters.

• Detention
• Mouthwashing
• MADiSON

Rosemary's Baby

I am good at reading mirrored font.

Sound is more important than visuals. No one is gonna leave your stream for a bad webcam or a non-hd stream but peaking mics, loud alerts and bad audio balancing will make people leave. And yes even if you are a "screamer" there is no need for a peaking mic. And put the mic closer to your mouth!

08/2021

• Mortuary Assistant

Heredity

My oldest is going to College this year

Make actual connections and avoid F4F scams, doesn't actually help and can be a major setback.

I once covered my whole body with stripes with a sharpie cuz I wanted to look like Tony the Tiger… I was 6 lol

I love "old lady crafts" like knitting and crocheting! Current WIPs are a king-sized blanket and a tapestry portrait of our cat.

Prioritize doing what you genuinely love over trends. Chat can tell if you're having fun, and they'll enjoy the stream more when you do.

October 2021

Do and play what YOU want to, don't try to fit in with everyone else.

I’m a qualified Animal Nursing Assistant but haven’t worked in the field since I was a teen. Right now, I’m studying sound engineering & music production as a mature student.

Play what makes you happy. Don’t pressure yourself into sticking to one game or genre if you don’t enjoy it—it will reflect in your mood, and viewers will notice. Also, hide your view count and pretend you're streaming to your ideal audience. Low numbers can bring you down, and your mood affects your viewership!

08/2021

• Resident Evil Code: Veronica
• Silent Hill 2 (2001)
• Alien Isolation

The Scream franchise!

I probably have the biggest physical Resident Evil videogame collection on the planet—over 200 games!

Don't be discouraged about numbers or views; keep doing what you're doing!

• Alien Isolation
• Closing Shift
• Dead Signal

I used to play Rugby at a very high level, attaining a scholarship to University for it.

Audio, audio, audio! How you sound is more important than anything else. Most viewers are lurkers who primarily absorb content through audio. Invest time into improving your sound, research tools, and enhance clarity—it will keep people watching!

09/2020

• Alien Isolation
• Madison
• Outlast

Alien and Aliens

I have met over 10 celebrities!

Be yourself, don’t put on too much of a persona—it’ll come off as disingenuous. Stream what makes you happy and try not to focus on metrics or numbers.

12/2020

• Devour
• Baisu
• Spaghett!

Trick r Treat or Cabin in the Woods

I enjoy reading and collecting tarot/Oracle decks.

Take the time to view what you like about other streams (channel point redeems, alerts, overlay style). While working on affiliate, you can start planning how you want everything to look and feel when you hit affiliate.

I'm a Paranormal Investigator and a Witch.

Being yourself is crucial because authenticity resonates with viewers and helps build a genuine connection. Share your unique personality, quirks, and passions. Having fun is important your enthusiasm will keep your streams lively and create a positive atmosphere that viewers want to return to.

Since 04/2023

• Resident Evil: Code Veronica

Perfection is NOT NEEDED, but consistency is. You can mess up sometimes with that, of course - everyone gets sick - but it's really important for people to know when to show up for you!

Since August of 2021

• The Classrooms
• Until Dawn
• Alien Isolation

If we're talking most recent, Longlegs. For older films, the first couple Saw movies (I still have to finish the rest).

I'm told I'm too nice and words are hard 99% of the time 😅

Stream what makes you happy and don't look at the numbers. Most of what you see on Twitch is smoke and mirrors. Do you and don't worry about what others are doing, we're all on our own path.

Since 04/2017!

• Silent Hill 2
• Until Dawn
• Alan Wake 2

Pearl

I wrote an analysis on Silent Hill 2's representation of childhood trauma in a senior capstone class, and it was published in a campus literary magazine!

I am a huge nature nerd, I practice meditation in nature and love learning about herbs and plants. My tea collection is outrageous! 🌿 I secretly want to start an apothecary.

Narrate your thoughts consistently! It is unlikely people will hang around just to watch you play a game anymore. Be chatty even when there is no one in your chat. Be kind! The world needs more of it.

Engage with the communities you are a part of, and make sure your streams are engaging - would you watch your streams?

Since June 2022

• Summer of 58
• Subnautica
• Welcome to the Game 2

I really like Doctor Who.

Pick some days to stream and don't stray far from the schedule! Being consistent will help build a viewer base, and don't be afraid to ask questions. None of us knew how to start streaming at first!

Since May 2021

I'm both an only child and the youngest of 4.

Play what you want and don't chase the numbers exclusively. You'll burn yourself out a lot quicker unless you're happy with the content you're making.

• Bendy and the Ink Machine

I'm adopted and I've been a Make-A-Wish Kid.

Take the time to focus on improving your people skills. The ability to continue to talk when no one's around is such an important skill to have. When you get those people skills down, the rest starts to fall into place.

Since September 2016

I love to scuba dive and have dove with whale sharks, manta rays, sharks, octopus, turtles, seals, and technically a humpback whale!

Be yourself! People want to watch and hang out with someone who is authentically them. Have fun. If you're not having fun, viewers pick up on it.

Since January 2022

• Anything by Emika Games
• MADiSON
• Resident Evil

House of 1,000 Corpses (or anything Rob Zombie directed)

I may or may not seem it, but I'm very shy and streaming has been helping me with trying to get over that. When I first started streaming I barely talked because I was too nervous.

You don't need to start with high-end products, get what you can afford and upgrade slowly from there when you can. Also, be yourself and do what makes you happy!

04/2023 (seriously; prior to that, I streamed once or twice for short periods)

• Silent Hill 2 (og)
• Resident Evil 2 (og)

Don’t be afraid to borrow ideas and change them to fit your stream.

06/2021

• Sketchy's Contract
• FOREWARNED
• Ghost Watchers

I'm actually too much of a chicken to watch horror! The last one I watched that really stuck with me was Hostel...for better or worse!

I love to do diamond art off stream, and play World of Warcraft and have for almost 20 years!

DO. NOT. LOOK. AT. THE. NUMBERS. They really do not matter. Do what brings you happiness and you will find your people. Also! Always make sure you are in a category, or else no one can find you!

March 2023

• At Dead of Night

The Grudge

I used to be a (amateur) ballroom dancer.

Always disable the viewer count, any of the numbers if need be! Numbers will unconsciously get in your head and streaming should be something you enjoy! By turning off any numbers, you won't be able to glance at them and get self-conscious. Enjoy the journey of streaming!

May 2023

I don't like horror movies! 😂

I used to design knitting patterns for indie yarn companies.

Talk! Even if no one is listening. It's hard to do, but if someone comes in and sees someone silently playing a game, they're gonna bounce. Talk about your day, explain what you're doing, etc.

Don’t try to please everybody. Just focus on you and what you enjoy the most. People will resonate more when they know you’re being authentic. Manage expectations, too. Luck plays a big part in this game. Just enjoy the ride.

Hmm, that's a good one! I have a thing for faces. If I see your face just once, I can pick you out of a crowd years later BOOM!

Don’t have bad negative energy. Your community comes from all walks of life. Some have very busy lifestyles, but having a tab or being there means they came for you. Don’t put them off because of your negative output or not being happy with how streams are going.

I have trained my eyes to be able to do autostereograms (dot 3D hidden images) at any given time from almost any distance.

Streaming is a journey, it's about the moments as they come and not about just crossing the finish line. Take your time to enjoy the moments because they unfortunately won't last forever. Let it be a hobby above all things first.

I was deaf when I was little and now have an auditory disorder that makes me faint when exposed to loud sounds. I'm a fainting goat.

Play what you want. Don’t just chase high viewership games. If you’re not having fun, it shows. And burnout is real – listen to your body and take breaks when needed.

I watch way too little horror movies, so I currently don’t have one.

I can put my leg behind my head, lmao.

Make sure to be yourself and do content that YOU enjoy. There’s no point in forcing yourself into being someone else or making content you don’t enjoy!
