Some of the best life advice I ever heard:
"When you leave the house in the morning, your job is to make it back home without any detours. No unplanned trips to the hospital, police station, etc."
We often take for granted the days that end how they're supposed to
No quote because I hate to dogpile, but there's a reason so many of us say something along the lines of "if you have to raid and run I understand" after receiving a raid. Sometimes you raid out of a spot with bad signal (if doing IRL) for example. Being grateful goes a long way!

One of the hardest parts of talking to someone who is always in their feelings is that they will hear what they want to hear in order to reinforce their own worldview. You could even be agreeing with them but they will perceive disagreement in your words in order to stay hurt

I find that those who have stumbled a bit in life or have had to start all over again are much more interesting people to talk to than those who always did things the "right" way
Age-shaming someone or asking why they are behind in their career without knowing what life has put them through is just unkind.

I experienced this to a much lesser degree and could somewhat rationalize it given I was producing streams that were drastically different from what helped me reach Partner, but it seems to be a universal experience. Have compassion for yourself when/if this happens to you
After hitting twitch partner my numbers dipped. Everyone told me that was going to happen. I was prepared for it. What I wasn’t prepared for my numbers tanking completely. It’s been like this for a while now. I stopped streaming as much, didn’t feel confident. (1/?)

What if what's really holding you back isn't your lack of funds or confidence, but a very large, determined, aggressive person who wont loosen their grip on you?

Gender war content has always been corny, but I find it especially corny when someone who has a partner is making it. Why as someone whos taken are you worrying about the dating market or what anyone else is doing? And why is your partner okay with their gender being generalized?

Call me crazy, but shouldn't a prerequisite for giving out streaming advice (specifically about channel growth/engagement) be having some degree of success as a streamer yourself? Same for people who clearly don't setup their own tech offering to talk shop with newer streamers

After being a summer person for so long I've finally embraced the winter. I'm here for long walks in the cold, earlier sunsets and quieter nights

Honestly think I prefer watching people play retro games over more modern titles. Was watching someone play Silent Hill 2 last night and the vibe is just so much better
I think one of the best things about gaming in your 30s is realising there's absolutely no rush to keep up with everyone else.
That game from 2010 is still sitting there waiting for you. And it might end up being your favourite.

One of the funniest things you will ever witness is when someone who has built a circle of enablers around them encounters people in the real world who wont put up with their behavior

Finished playing through the remake of Resident Evil 4 last night. I found the game difficulty to be quite balanced. Plot was super interesting. Fighting mechanics took a while to get used to, but I really got the hang on things quicker than I thought I would. Great game!

A huge chunk of my pop culture knowledge came from spending a summer or two off school watching VH1 and E! whenever I got bored of playing video games
People don't understand how much VH1 contributed to cultural literacy. Yeah you were high on the couch watching hours of Pop Up video & I Love The (pick a decade) but you were also getting an education in cultural history. We could use more of that, now, & less tik tok slop.

For the first time in over a decade I've felt comfortable posting a photo of myself smiling without having to edit my teeth to make them whiter. I'm one week into a 22-day whitening treatment using Crest 3D Whitestrips & my smile is already considerably brighter. 10/10 recommend

I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who hasn't played this game yet. Its an experience like no other. Felt like I was playing through an award-winning film. Just amazing storytelling and probably the best protagonist in gaming history

If Twitch detects copyright audio on your stream it will mute that section of the VOD, not email you. I got one of these the other day and thankfully didn't fall for it. Zach has confirmed there's a new wave of this particular scam going around. Sharing so others are aware
⚠️ New Twitch Email Scam.⚠️
Do not be fooled by an email claiming to be "Twitch Automated Audio Detection Systems" that asks you to verify your rights to use audio.

One of my biggest advice pieces i actually have for streamers:
Make your conversations easy to join into.
Here is how:
- "for anyone that doesn't know what im talking about, [context]" when discussing inside jokes, past conversations, or stories
- recap the last thing you did or said before moving on to new topics (or back to them)
dont assume that only the people actively chatting are the ones listening.
Re-tell stories, provide context for jokes, etc.
I BELIEVE IN YOU!
