So, other than the Hello World 2.0 post I last made, I haven't really posted in a while about what's new in life. So, to catch everybody on what's going on with me, I thought I'd take a moment to go over some events of importance this past year or so. Since I have a lot to say about the events, I'm going to separate the thoughts into separate posts over the next few days.
NEWEST HOBBY
I started streaming on Twitch! I've had a Twitch account for quite a while, but I never really tried streaming on it... Mostly just had it so I could follow a couple people on that platform. (In fact, I'm watching a stream right now!) But with the pandemic and being mostly shut in due to it, I decided that I would start streaming as a way to have some communication with people!
Interesting how it is turning out... Nearly everybody that tunes in on a regular basis are people that I've never met before! This is definitely testing my introverted self, as I'm having to be "entertaining" and all that other stuff that streamers do to attract new viewers. I would like to see some people I know personally visiting the stream so I can chat with people I know while I'm gaming, but I am proud of the tiny community I've built there already!
DO A KICK FLIP!!!
I do get the occasional friend stopping in, though! Sometimes when I stream, Dylan from The Craic Show will stop by! He has also gotten into streaming since the band had been unable to play due to the pandemic. So you could say we've bonded over Twitch streaming. But whenever he stops by, he'll almost always say "DO A KICK FLIP!!!" I have to laugh when he does that, and I will do my best to pretend I have one of those Tech Deck mini skateboards and act like I'm doing a kick flip trick with the invisible board!
But yeah, I've been having fun with the whole streaming thing. I still don't understand how or why some people will actually pay me money to watch me play games (which they can totally do for FREE!), but I guess I must be doing something right with it! I'm still not completely comfortable with strangers trying to promote me or trying to converse with me, especially when they try to get too familiar with me, but it has been fun meeting new people, sharing the love of gaming, and just having some sort of social interaction!
So, if anybody would like to check out the channel, feel free to give it a visit here:
T.G.Bob's Twitch Channel
And... just for kicks and giggles (mostly giggles), below is a video of me doing some stupid shenanigans in a game of Fall Guys. That's been one of my favourite games to play on stream, and a lot of craziness tends to happen there!
Anyway, that's the rundown of my newest hobby, Twitch streaming! I'll post again with another summary of what's been happening lately!
