Beyond the Stream
Howdy howdy, I'm Bullet. I've been streaming on Twitch since 2015 and have had a lot of ups and downs on this streaming journey. I took a step away from streaming in 2018 and recently got back into streaming late 2024. Since getting back into streaming, I have been all about supporting small streamers, and helping them grow their communities. I started a shoutout series on TikTok every Sunday called "streamer Sundays", where I shout out a small streamer and help get their names out into the world. And that dawned this podcast, I wanted to go further than a 2 minute video. I wanted to sit down and pick the mind of these small streamers and see what gets them to hit "go live". So join me as I sit down with small streamers every other week and get to know these streamers Beyond the Stream! Side note, all of the episodes are lived streamed to Twitch and Tiktok so there will be some interactions throughout the episode.

Season 1 has come to an end. So let's sit back down with the featured streamers from this past season and see what has been up with them since their episode on the podcast. It's going to be a fun ride on this episode!
And we are live with Mr. Hybrid Coder. Hybrid, welcome in, my good man. How are you doing?
SPEAKER_12I'm doing well, doing well. Thank you, sir. How are you?
SPEAKER_18I'm doing fantabulous. So, Mr. Hybrid, I just wanted to get you back up here to check in on you, see how things have been since you've been on the pod. You know, you are our very first guest for for this podcast. You were the the guinea pig per se with the with the podcast. So essentially you're you're the foundation of it. So what what's your thoughts on that scene? Seeing, you know, where it was back then to where it's at now.
SPEAKER_12Well, first off, congrats on you know many, many successful podcasts. They've all been fantastic. I I love watching them. And it's uh, you know, personally, I've definitely gotten a few followers from uh the podcast in general, even on subsequent ones. So I appreciate it. Uh most recently we had one who found us uh from the podcast. So much thanks to you, sir, for uh spreading the kind word. But uh yeah, it's been it's been good. Um uh I've seen growth and you know, a f what's the word? Uh strengthened the community overall. Uh I have quite a few repeat viewers on the daily, so I couldn't be happier about that.
SPEAKER_18And you just brought up your numbers. You know, back in October you were at 313 followers, and now you are at 601 followers. So that is some some growth right there in those few months. So that's pretty pretty great to hear.
SPEAKER_12Yes, sir. I'm super excited about that. And in two days is my year anniversary of streaming, so averaging 50 followers a month. Essentially. That's good. That's not too bad, not too bad.
SPEAKER_18And you still are um you're you're still doing your morning startup streams Monday through Friday, like you were back then, yes.
SPEAKER_12Yes, sir. Yep, it's been the bread and butter. That's my favorite stream, and uh honestly the the highest views across any that I do. Um, and it's fantastic. I love my morning community. Everybody's so great.
SPEAKER_18So is there um any new games that you've you've played since the collab? Because I believe you were doing you had just started Hollow Knight when we had you on the pod.
SPEAKER_12Yes. That is true. Yes, we had just started Hollow Knight. I did um I made it through Hollow Knight, I made it to 106%. I'm not an insane, you know, platformer, so that was a that was a drag. I mean it was fun, but it was definitely a grind. Um I think we had almost a hundred hours in that game. And uh at 106%, I I just said, all right, this is this is good. This is where I'm happy with ending this uh this pain. And then we moved on to Celeste, which is a different platform that is also just kicking my ass. But you know, it is what it is. The the community likes to to watch me flail and die repeatedly. So it's all good. It's all good.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I uh I I I enjoyed listening to some of the words that were made up watching you play Hollow Knight.
SPEAKER_12You gotta get creative on your like thousand death, right?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_18So um you talked about branching out per se with games. Have you branched out to any other platforms or are you still on Twitch?
SPEAKER_12Um predominantly on Twitch, and I was, you know, probably back on the the podcast. I was still like dual streaming to kick. Um, but I found that kick just for me was just an extra thought that I had, you know, I I would rarely get anybody across. I would have a whole bunch of bots, and it was just something extra to kind of keep up with. I'm sure other people have success on it. And maybe if you focused on it more, like you'd have better success there. But I would re I really never got anybody from over there. So I just kind of you know said, yeah, I'll just save myself some energy, just stream to Twitch. I haven't done TikTok yet because I'm pretty sure they would ban me immediately. Um because I am a little colorful, uh and they they are uh a little bit more restrictive about the content that uh you can put on there. So I typically just stay on Twitch and uh post my clips that I've you know filtered on TikTok.
SPEAKER_18So how has your ride been with since the podcast? Is is there anything new that's happened to you other than you know the growth? Is there just anything in general?
SPEAKER_12Uh I mean life's been, you know, busy, ever, ever busy. So trying to to balance, you know, the life, work, and streaming, you know, and uh try and keep people entertained without being too tired because you know, you can't you're not extremely entertaining when you're completely worn out. So I've downshifted some. I think when I was doing the podcast last time, I was still probably doing three evenings a week at least for two hours, sometimes two hours more a night, plus the Monday through Friday hour before work. Um, so I've I've cut down on the amount of hours and stayed focused on where people show up the most. And so in the mornings, I have highest uh repeat you know, viewership. And you know, in the evenings it's probably like a third of what the mornings are, which is rather interesting because like I said, it's 7 30 in the morning, and for some people it's way earlier than that. You know, it depends on your time zone. Some people it's nighttime, and so it's interesting to have like the international community aspect of it where some people they're eating dinner, other people are making their coffee. Um, but we're all just kind of vibing together and you know, either booting up for the day or you know, downshifting from a work day, and it's it's special. Um so the mornings for me is like that's where I'm at predominantly. And then in the evening ones, it's just like if somebody wants to come out and you know chill with me while I'm you know beating my head against the wall and Celeste and vibe, then cool. And I've also been doing some on Sundays. Um but for the most part, like I've kind of settled into the routine of Monday through Friday. That that hour before work is really my my bread and butter as a streamer.
SPEAKER_18Yes, I I definitely enjoy the the morning streams. Even on my day offs, I still set a timer to get up to to make sure I come in to watch you get some what are you on dragon teeth hunting now in Stardew?
SPEAKER_12Dragon teeth hunting in Stardew, yeah. We're we've done mastery and we're we're heading towards perfection if we can ever get there. It's amazing how much their content there is in Stardew. If you if somebody hasn't played Stardew and they're looking for a lot of hours to you know put into a game with uh cool skill vibes and um you know, a lot of complex pieces, Stardew is definitely it. I was uh happily uh surprised by that game and continue to be so.
SPEAKER_18Well keep grinding on it. I know you'll you'll perfection it, you'll get your 106% or whatever the percentages on Stardew. I enjoy watching it, I know others enjoy it as well. Like you said, getting that cup of coffee in the morning and getting that Stardew vibe in. Because you come up with some great phrases when with your morning streams. And I enjoy it. You are an amazing streamer, amazing content creator, and I just want to say thank you so much for being the first guest and be willing to to go on this journey with me because you have been a supporter of mine since our paths have crossed, and like you said, you're coming up on a year in a couple days. But by the time this airs, it'll have been passed. But and I've I've been here for m most of it, and I just enjoy showing up and supporting you every day, and vice versa.
SPEAKER_12Yes, sir. I do appreciate you very much. It's always nice to have you pop in and play your walk-on blurp with your uh Toggyo Drift. I always know it's you, it's fantastic. And I always do appreciate your support. Uh the feeling is definitely mutual, sir. You're quite the quite the stream. You've been doing this for quite a bit longer than I have. Um, and so shout out to the OG of before uh Twitch was extremely friendly. And uh the community actually, you know, now works together a lot more than it used to. So you know, I one day, one day I'll be like you, sir. One day.
SPEAKER_18Oh man, I strive to be like you every day.
SPEAKER_12I appreciate you.
SPEAKER_18Well, Mr. Hybrid, that's all I have for you, sir. Is there anything you'd like to say to me, the community, the chat, anybody that may be listening or watching this?
SPEAKER_12No matter how tired you are, you can always find a community who will lift you up. So if you look in the right places and you surround yourself with the right people, the energy will be there. Um, and if you're finding yourself in a spot where there is a lack of energy and a lack of enthusiasm, it's time to, you know, shift up, try something new, look for people who uplift you. Um because honestly, like you know, I could be completely tired, not into doing it. And as soon as I hit stream in the mornings and see the first three people pop in stream and immediately just start saying good morning to me, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. So if you are new at streaming or you've been at it for a long time and it's something you love to do, just keep trying stuff and you'll get there. You know, even if it's just something you do to enjoy yourself. Just do it. It's fun. And I appreciate you, bro.
SPEAKER_18Very well said. Very well said. And people that may have not watched the pod or VOD from back then, what are your your handles on all platforms? Where are they gonna where can where the can they find you?
SPEAKER_12Hybrid coder. Uh pretty much everywhere, whether that's uh Instagram or TikTok or YouTube. I don't have much content on YouTube, but I have a couple videos. But yeah, TikTok, uh Twitch hybrid coder. Pretty straightforward. If you you know look for that, you'll you'll find my my little caricature.
SPEAKER_18Well, Mr. Hybrid, again, thank you so much for taking time over today to come and chat with us and stay awesome and keep grinding. I know the future is gonna be bright for you with this content creating and streaming, and I look forward to supporting you along your journey.
SPEAKER_12Much appreciated, sir. You have a great night, and thanks to you and to all the viewers of the podcast. Be sure to tune in to be on the stream whenever it's available.
SPEAKER_18Yes, indeed. And also, you guys that don't know, hybrid does the voiceover trailers on TikTok for our guests. So, yes, definitely be sure to go check him out.
SPEAKER_12That's a pleasure, sir.
SPEAKER_18And hybrid, you have yourself a great night, sir.
SPEAKER_03Yours well, thank you.
SPEAKER_18And now we are live and in color with our one and only screen queen of our community, Miss Cyber Dumplin. Hello, Miss Dumplin. Welcome in.
SPEAKER_11Hello, hello.
SPEAKER_18Oh, hello, hello. So serious, even like she was back in October when we had her on the podcast. She was so serious and nervous.
SPEAKER_11I get nervous.
SPEAKER_17We were just talking and you were all giddy. What happened? Because I'm getting questioned.
SPEAKER_18Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Well, Miss Dumplin, October was when we had you on this podcast. You were our second guest. So tell us what has the ride been like since we've talked to you last.
SPEAKER_11Insane. Um, it has very much humbled me in a way that I did not expect any any growth or anything to hit as far as it did. I basically went back in October, I think I actually just moved in this apartment too, and a lot of I was very nervous, and then uh after that I just got used to just streaming, having fun, and I didn't expect all the support and the love uh just in general, even after you're streaming.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, and we had you at 333 followers in October. And now you are at 1.1k followers. Talk about growth. Tell to put take us on a little ride on that. What is that like with with a growth like that in these two months?
SPEAKER_11Basically, I think if I remember correctly, since October uh I think it really started hitting off closer to November, December, and every month I was hitting uh a hundred every even like towards the beginning of the year, I was hitting a hundred every two weeks. And I actually had to calm down because I was like, ha, I I did my hundred a hundred followers stream all the time. Like, oh if I got another hundred followers, I'll play a game that's other than horror. And let's just say I had like weeks back to back to back where I was not playing horror because of it. I was like, oh my god, you guys and then people be like, Oh, follow her, and I'm just like, stop it. Stop it. I've I'm good. But um, but no, I just I was not expecting it. I've emotionally been have cried. I've been happy, I've been you know i it's just been insane and I did not expect so much love and it's because I feel like I started learning a little bit more of Twitch and learning a little bit more of like being in Discords and I've networked and everything and I think that that has helped a lot. I also was starting to be a little bit more consistent, um, to the point that like, oh, you know, this is like this has been working, this hasn't been working, and it has it has been amazing. Like before I wasn't really posting on TikTok, on YouTube or anything, and then I consistently post as much as possible, at least once a day, uh mainly on TikTok.
SPEAKER_18So has there been any with your your hundred games that you don't do with horror, has there been any games that have been fun for you? Because I know you've been on a Hollow Knight kick because that was I think what 700, 800, 600, 600.
SPEAKER_11That was my 600, yeah. I I I've been loving Hollow Knight. I'm only so uh I actually found out I'm fifty-two percent in Hollow Knight, and I've played it 35 hours. Um, but I have enjoyed it. I actually um that's been the only one I feel like I have really been playing. I mean that one and I believe Helldivers and Arc Raiders. So those are the other ones I played that are non-horror that I continue to play. Oh wait. Oh my gosh. Basically, it was my 600 one, which was Hollow Knight, and then I think it was my yes, 700, 800, and 900. Each one of those I've continued to play because 700 was Stardew Valley and I I still play Stardew. 800 was Arc Raiders, um, and I still I still play Arc Raiders here and there, and then 900 was Helldivers. And I've always played Helldivers. I've played it off stream. It's just it was not a game that I played on stream because it's not horror. But I still enjoy it, even though my aim is shit.
SPEAKER_18So what what's the what's the goal for the 1k stream?
SPEAKER_11I actually have no idea. I don't I I have I literally have everything else planned. I have a giveaway that I am doing. Um everyone knows about that. I have other things that I'm not telling as of now, but I uh have giveaways is a big one right now that I am going to be doing because this is like a thank you to my followers because without them I would not be here. Um I would not have gotten this far. And so I am going to be doing a giveaway and the game, that's gonna be the hard part. I'm going to see if maybe I'll either go back to a rage game and see if people want me to do that, because that's when I first started. I was doing every 50 followers and I was doing a rage game every time. But then I changed it to every hundred followers and it was a rage game, but then we switched it to where it was a game that was other than that. Knight's gonna Knight is going to hear this. Um, I might think about putting Warzone on there.
SPEAKER_18Ooh boy.
SPEAKER_11I've never I've I've always told her no, I would never play Warzone.
SPEAKER_18It's about to go down. We're gonna hear her holler from across the ocean saying, What?
SPEAKER_11I'll think about it, but I I think you know, I need to figure it out because with the giveaways and stuff, it is going to be hard for me to focus on the game. So that's gonna be it's gotta be something, you know, like for my 500, I did community games with a lot of people. But when doing a giveaway, I feel like a lot of people are just gonna be waiting on me while I'm like, oh, we gotta stop so I can do a giveaway. I kind of want to do this more like solo so that I can be able to stop the game and and do it. I mean, if if I end up doing a game where people join, that works too, as long as they're okay with me stopping to to do my giveaway.
SPEAKER_16Do a do a two-part stream. One part for the giveaway, one part for the community.
SPEAKER_11Yeah. It's gonna be a long one then. We're not doing more than twelve hours again.
SPEAKER_17Come on now, dude. Step it up. You in the 1k business now, time for 24s. Let's go.
SPEAKER_11No, I've never stayed up 24 hours in general.
SPEAKER_18I felt that.
SPEAKER_11I've been a whole life.
SPEAKER_18It's been a long time since I have.
SPEAKER_11I have never. I've I've tried, I've never stayed up twenty-four hours.
SPEAKER_18So have you branched out to any other platforms other than Twitch, or are you still just mainly on Twitch?
SPEAKER_11For streaming, mainly on Twitch. I still am I used to do YouTube more long form videos and stuff with editing those, and I'm trying to get back into it, but it's hard being my own editor and trying to find time to work on my streams, which always I'm always upgrading my stream. There's always something new I'm going to do. Um, and then also like posting. stuff on other platforms. Um but other than that streaming's only on Twitch.
SPEAKER_18Gotcha, gotcha. Is there any comments that you'd like to reach out to let your community know to for me to know just or just anybody in general that may not have watched or listened to your podcast?
SPEAKER_11Just anything in general you'd like to say if it's about people who are new to streaming, um I I will say that the communities that I've been in, the communities I've met and everything has really been amazing and this is why I keep going. I don't think I would have ever gotten this far and I'm even part of a a team that's super amazing. And I feel like everyone who is in the community helps lift each other up and that is amazing. And that's literally what's the most important thing is that community is where they they help you grow. The community is there for you and it's not just that you're there for the community as well. It's kind of like ever having an amazing group of people just helping each other. You know no gatekeeping we we love to just be like oh this is a great idea use it like it's just you know all that kind of stuff and one big thing that I've learned is do not be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help. The other thing too is support. I burned myself out because I always thought I had to be in streams I've learned to I've learned from a lot of people actually that support doesn't just have to be that you have to be in every single stream of every single day.
SPEAKER_18It is just sharing their poster sharing their times their streams sharing you know being like oh they're live go check them out like supporting in discord just saying hi on a discord uh server being like hey I'm here I'm I'm still like supporting I'm trying my best kind of thing but also know that you're human and that you do need breaks and you need to have unplugged days you need to have self-care days and just focus on that focus on your mental health that is the most important thing very very well said Cyber beautifully said I could not have said it any better myself well cyber that's all I have question wise for you madam where could people find you on twitch or youtube what what is your handle on on those platforms it's all the same thing it is cyber dumpling with no g at the end because I'm a cyberpunk dumpling the the g was taken someone else had that g and I was like you know what's cuter this way that's right well miss dumplin thank you so much for taking the time to sit back down with us and thank you so much for being our second guest on this up this podcast and being a part of it in general stay awesome you are incredible we love you so much you are like I've say many many a times you are our community screen queen and no one can replace you with that so you keep rocking you keep grinding and I cannot wait to see what the commun the future holds for you my friend I'm excited thank you all right doodles doodles hello miss alex fire how are we doing today welcome Aaron hello how are you thank you for taking the time to sit down with me again thank you for having me so this is just a little recap of seeing how you've been since you've been on the pod because you were on the pod back in November I believe it was and gosh has it been that long yes it has been that long so yeah just wanted to check in with you see how you how how everything's been going things have been going wonderfully it's been yeah like it's been crazy like gosh it's just it doesn't it feels like it hasn't been that long but it also gosh it it feels like it's been forever since we've sat down but also it feels like it's flown by right yes yes it has indeed and um looking at your numbers you know your your growth seems uh like it has gotten pretty substantial since we last sat down you know 717 followers and now you're over a thousand followers it's crazy yeah so what's the how how's the ride been any anything new any new games that you've played any collaborations you've done just just give us a little insight what's it been like in the in the world of Miss Alex Fire uh we've been mainly doing horror games because that's kind of what um mainly what I've been playing um I just I love the the panic of the horror I'm terrible at games but I like it um no we've just been mainly doing some horror games um I've done some collabs been doing um like a few collabs um I still collab with Raven and Duke and uh been branching out a little bit too which has been nice um but yeah I've been sticking sticking a lot with the horror um I did branch out a little bit with um some hack and slash games like Devil May Cry and that's been fun um um I did did try Dead Space back in January and that was a completely um brand new for me um and that was it was it was a lot of fun um I did try Resident Evil for the first time I have never been a survival um horror at all and I've really enjoyed that and so now I'm on the third Resident Evil for me not the third game but like well third game but not Resident Evil three but yeah so now I'm on eight I did them all out of order and I've been told I'm crazy for doing them out of order but yeah so I did six first then seven now I'm on eight so I gotta I gotta go back and do the the beginning but uh yeah I've really enjoying the Resident Evil games and that's never thought I would ever do survival horror. Yeah I um I I have yet to play a Resident Evil game and I was actually just told um in my last episode that you know I should try it and start out with nine and just you know play them out of order and just just go with the flow especially like if I'm not more on the story based of it just just the action of it he said the the the newest one is the most like cinematic one per se and he said that one would definitely hook you into the series you know as somebody that did go out of order I definitely recommend it so you're you're on the Daddy Leon trap train now I do have some thirst traps in my stream so oh my goodness oh my goodness so have you uh branched out to any other platforms as far as streaming or are you just still solely on Twitch?
SPEAKER_09I'm just on Twitch I always said I would try to go back to YouTube because I did do um YouTube. I just never made it back I've I really love the community on Twitch everybody's so welcoming and friendly and I did not have that experience on YouTube. Um I had a lot of rude people on YouTube and I just don't really have the heart to go back to YouTube right now.
SPEAKER_18So I just love Twitch everybody's just great here well that's a plus that's a plus yeah so um what's what's some new milestones for you since the last time that we talked because I know you said 750 was your next milestone and you obviously have crushed that so what what's some new milestones for you um new milestone would be um I would love to hit 1500 followers um and then I guess my I would love my viewership to be well I wanted my viewership to be um 20 average but I did get that and then so I'm probably looking at a maybe a 30 average that would be great. There you go I believe I know you can do it. I I have nothing but faith in you because you're a phenomenal streamer and I enjoy watching you every time I come into one of your chats you are so humble and very interactive with your chat and make everybody feel welcome so I know you will get that before too long.

SPEAKER_18I mean that's just what the community's about exactly and that like you said you know that's what we're here for is just we're all small streamers just trying to all that the words words are hard I promise we're all just trying to hit that that milestone and just grow and just connect with everybody and your community is definitely one to do that with because like you said you you love enjoy introducing people to everybody and that's one thing that makes that's one of the many things that just makes you who you are and such an amazing streamer. Oh thank you but yeah um that's pretty much all it miss alex I just like I said just wanted to check in with you see how everything was going how what's new with you and I just want to thank you again for being a part of this and doing this back in November.

SPEAKER_18All right y'all heard it be sure to go check out her links y'all will not be disappointed I promise you will and Miss Alex thank you again so much for taking the time again from your busy day to sit down with me. You're incredible thank you bullet I'm so glad to have met you and I can't wait to see what holds hold the future holds for you I'm so thankful for you thank you thank you ma'am and now we are sitting down with the one and only Marshmallow himself not just a marshmallow but Papa Marshmallow. Hello Papa Marshmallow I'm doing all right thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with us again I feel like we haven't really talked much since you were on the podcast back in December which crazy four months but it has been I've missed you man well it it's um it's nice to be missed man it's nice to be missed but yeah it's um it's mostly because I I I'm not streaming anymore for the moment I'm taking a prolonged break some things came up in my life and I am trying to deal with that right now and it's adding a little bit of unnecessary stress and stuff that so I think it's just kind of like best to focus on that uh put streaming although as hard as it is to put it on the side I I'm putting it on the back burner for the moment until I can um get squared up everything that I have going on in my life and then hopefully I'm hoping that by the end of the year I'm gonna be back.
SPEAKER_14Until then my plans are to maybe release every now and then a video on TikTok and stuff like that to kind of still keep some traction. But yeah it's been since January that I I haven't really streamed anymore. And even in January it was kind of like spotty a little bit and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_18So yeah it's it's been a minute as well well you know everybody yeah real life definitely takes precedence over that and uh you you're doing you're doing the right thing you know trying to get everything squared away real life first and it will always be here waiting for you my friend like I said the you you have built a phenomenal community uh you were at 375 followers when you were on the pod back in December and you're at 473 followers so you have definitely built a an incredible community and I know everybody is going to be waiting for that notification saying Papa Marshmallow went live and we will definitely be there to to rally behind you and support you.
SPEAKER_14Yeah I miss everyone man I I I really miss everyone and I it took me a long time to kind of like step away from it and stuff because I just kind of felt bad to I I think like every streamer kind of deals with the same thing where they they they need a break and they want to take a break but they have this feeling of like disappointing people and stuff. So it it kind of took like a mental like like forcing myself mentally to kind of like go through with it and stuff you know so yeah I I appreciate it and I'm lucky that everybody kind of like understood and um they they were respectful about it and stuff and you know they said kind of the same thing like what you said and stuff and I'm very appreciative of that and it's not gonna be the last time you see of me that's all I'm gonna say well it better not be where I'm getting on a plane and coming to uh uh Romania no Romania yeah Germany Germany yeah I'll I'll get on a plane and I know some people okay then it is the last time you will see of me just see see he just wants to see me in real life that's all that is exactly exactly well um have you been playing like games or anything offline still kind of doing that or just altogether breaks games are you know an exceptional method of like uh detaching from reality and kind of like going to your own world so obviously all the time I have I'm spending it in in games and stuff like that. Oh yeah um you played any new games recently well ever since the podcast I did play my voice zoo and that that was actually my last stream where I let the the the chat you know like send me voices on Discord and then I would like put them to be the voices of the animals in the zoo and it was absolutely fucking hilarious. It was like a really great stream I really enjoyed myself I had fun everybody had fun as well but since then I started to play a lot of arc raiders and more recently my current obsession is Bellwright I'm a bit late to these two games but uh hey I'm still enjoying the freak out of them well you're ahead of me on that because I've never played either one of them so I I guess I'm really late to the party hey man better late than never show up you know that's right and yes I enjoyed that zoo the zoo animal game because I I I voiced a couple of animals in there and you and you put them together in the corner because they were just so irate they were dude they were going so well with each other like you could you there was no way I couldn't do that like they were all it was the horny corner yes it was a a fun fun time indeed it was great it was indeed so Mr.

Um Arc Raiders has pretty much stayed consistent um the scary games has pretty much stayed consistent oh resident evil I went through a big Resident Evil um a whole Resident Evil playthrough I did four different games way out of order don't ask me the order because everybody yells at me um but that was really fun and that's totally out of my comfort zone um I never thought I would play Resident Evil ever. So that was actually that was probably like the most fun thing I've done since January. I didn't think I'd ever play it and I got through four games so even with chat troubling you huh?
SPEAKER_18Yeah even even then all my wasted health and wasted bullets the the real question is are you a daddy Leon simp now oh yeah 100% but also I can't even I don't even know if I can say that there's someone else in Resident Evil 9 he's got my heart too he shouldn't but he does so oh my goodness oh my goodness he should not have it but he does so have you branched out to any other platforms or are you still just on twitch I'm still just on Twitch.
SPEAKER_05So I use TikTok still to like promote and to post my clips but even um I feel like even like on the last podcast that I was kind of like petering off like going live on TikTok I need to get back to it at some point um I really should just turn on a live and just see what happens but I've just been like pouring my heart into Twitch I still need to get I you know I believe we talked about this last time that I needed to get my YouTube up and running and I did not I didn't do that either.
SPEAKER_18Now I'm reminded I'll get it done we'll do it I didn't I did not say nothing. I'm just sitting here rocking in my chair twisting in my chair A call out's a call.
SPEAKER_17Okay, how do you get it done? I didn't.
SPEAKER_18You called yourself out. I'm just sitting there. I know I didn't sit in my chair.
unknownSlowly mine.
SPEAKER_18Those are the those are the bad reminders, are the reminders that you gotta remind yourself. Like your friends don't even have to call you out on it. It's like, oh you know what? Yeah, they just like say something. I'm like, oh crap.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I did say that, didn't I? Yeah, I think I did say that I was gonna do that, and I have it's fine. No big deal. There's still time. There's still plenty of time. There's still time. So much time.
SPEAKER_18Well, I will say, out of all the guests that we've had thus far, you are still holding the number one spot for most downloaded episodes and most viewed episodes. You're actually tied. You are actually tied. Somebody has come and try is trying to dethrone you.
unknownWho tied?
SPEAKER_18Who died? Who tied?
SPEAKER_05Who tied me? No, who tied? Who tied with me?
SPEAKER_18Miss Alex Fire has tied with you.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you know what? She's like amazing. I don't, she can have it. She can. I I'm shocked that I had it and she didn't, to be honest. Like, that makes so much sense. Like, so much sense.
SPEAKER_18We are I love her. Y'all are both amazing streamers and content creators.
SPEAKER_05Anytime I can catch her streams, they're so entertaining. So they are, they are indeed. Yeah, that makes so much sense.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, we we hit we spoke with her earlier, and she too is also on the daddy Leon train as well.
SPEAKER_05So who's not? Especially Ary Leon.
SPEAKER_18Like who's oh this guy. I've never played Resident Evil, so can't say anything.
SPEAKER_05Well, maybe that's the problem. Let's fix it, bullet.
SPEAKER_18Look, look, we started a lot of riots in your in your episode, okay? I don't want to start any more riots, okay? Oh, yeah. We I think it was because of uh red well, Red Dead Redemption, I think it was. Or Assassin's Creed. We it was something. We we started a riot because I had not played a game, and you and chat just let me have it.
SPEAKER_05Oh, it probably was Red Dead. Have you still not played Red Dead?
SPEAKER_18I have not. And Mooney called me out on it too. And we started a riot in her episode as well.
SPEAKER_05Oh, you need to fix it. I don't know what else to say other than just go play the dang game, bullet.
SPEAKER_18I haven't played a game. I just it's packed up upstairs in a box. It's on console, it's not for PC. We could just get it on PC too. Maybe one day, maybe one day. Maybe one day we'll we'll look at it. We'll look at it.
SPEAKER_05You need to. We will see too.
SPEAKER_18We will see.
SPEAKER_05It's literally like that game's amazing.
SPEAKER_18Well, that's all the questions I have for you, Miss Wildflower. Is there any comments or concerns? Well, comments or concerns. Is there any comments?
SPEAKER_05I have a list of concerns.
SPEAKER_18Is there anything you'd like to add to me, to the chat, to the community, just anybody in general?
SPEAKER_05Um, just thank you. Like looking back, especially for like year to date, the podcast was probably like the funnest thing I've done. Like the funnest thing I've done. And I keep telling anyone, like, if they get lucky enough to be like, you know, DM'd, hey, come join the podcast. I'm like, do it, like jump on it. Like, go, don't even be, which is hypocritical of me. Don't be nervous. Just go do it and have fun. So um, thank you so much because it truly has been a blast. And I appreciate the people that I've met through your podcast and um the community growth that's happened that way. And yeah, keep going, keep doing it, bullet. You're killing it. Keep doing it, just do it, just do it.
SPEAKER_18Thank you. Thank you for those kind words, and thank you again for being on the podcast. You know, you didn't have to say yes, you could have said no. So go find somebody else.
SPEAKER_05Thank you for asking me. That's the honor here.
SPEAKER_18Oh, here we go. Nothing special, I promise. Nothing special.
SPEAKER_05Okay, we'll get into that after.
SPEAKER_18She don't want witnesses.
SPEAKER_05That's all that is.
SPEAKER_03She don't want to know witnesses.
SPEAKER_18And what are your uh your handles on the platforms? Uh, for any like socials that you may have, where can somebody find you that may have not heard or listened to the podcast? Where could where could they find you?
SPEAKER_05Um, so Twitch and TikTok, it's both Wildflower Gaming T TV. One day I'll get the T TV off the end, but for now. For now, that's what it is.
SPEAKER_18Well, Miss Wildflower, thank you again so much for your time for sitting back down with us and stay awesome. I am enjoying being on this ride with you and seeing the community that you are building. You have built and continue building each every time you go live. It is fun trolling you in chat and jump scaring you, especially when you are in tense moments and just seeing your reaction because it's it's it's well, you put yourself in that prediction. We can tell when you're tense. Like you have a redeeming saying relax those shoulders.
SPEAKER_17I know what I've done. I know they just get hiked so high up. Yes, so it's easy to to so.
SPEAKER_18Yes, you guys, if y'all don't know what I'm talking about, be sure to go check her out when we see her when she is tensed. It'll just be the easiest jump scare that you can get, I promise.
SPEAKER_05I can't like I need to just put weights so they don't do that anymore.
SPEAKER_18Then you'll just throw them off and put a hole in your wall. Then what are you gonna do?
SPEAKER_05You're right, you're right. That's a horrible idea. I'm glad we workshopped that. That's a horrible idea.
SPEAKER_18See, there we go. But yes, Miss Wildflower, thank you so much again. Thank you. Stay incredible. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you, and I'm just glad to be a part of the ride. Back at you, and we will see what the future holds for you, friend. Yay, alrighty, bye-bye.
SPEAKER_03Oh my gosh. Goodbye.
SPEAKER_18And now we have the one and only Mr. Hanway. Han, hello, good sir. Welcome in. How you doing? Howdy, howdy. I'm uh I'm making it, man. How about yourself? You know, I'm here, I'm here. Just living the dream, trying to be like you every day, being all awesome and tall and gorgeous.
SPEAKER_01It's it's a tough thing to accomplish, buddy.
SPEAKER_18Hey, you know what? I wake up, I look in the mirror every day. Thank God that I'm here, and then I say, you know what? I gotta be like Han. Let's be like Han today.
SPEAKER_01Oh man, I strive, I strive to uh be the image that you think that I am. Come on now, it can't be like that, can't be like that.
SPEAKER_17So, Han, it has been a little while since we've had you on the pod.
SPEAKER_18I believe it was April. I'm pulling your thing up now, but yes, I believe it was April. Nope, sorry, live January. It was January. You are the second one of the year. So, what's new? Any new games, any collabs, anything? Tell tell us what has gone on with the Hanway with the streaming world.
SPEAKER_01Well, um I have taken a little hiatus from streaming for a little while just because a lot of life things happened and kind of had to take care of all that first. Um, but um I'm kind of starting to dabble back into gaming and stuff. I have I'm having a little bit more time. And uh uh I've actually just like I don't know, two or three days ago started playing um um Subnautica too. So I'm enjoying that a little bit.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I saw every time I get the past few times I've been on the computer, I've seen in you know, Discord pulls up and it says that you've been on Subnautica. So I was gonna ask how it was it. I I I know that game's kind of taking storm, so you you enjoying it?
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah. Um I'm I'm probably not playing it as much as is on there. I probably just have it like pulled up on the home screen and and then I'm off doing something else. But I've probably got like legit probably like five or six hours into it. I'm enjoying it so far, man. It's it's uh it's a lot of fun, kind of chill. I thought we've I thought it was gonna stay that way.
SPEAKER_18I thought we've had this conversation about you pulling stuff up on the computer and then just walking away. Like that time I raided you when you thought you were offline for like 30 minutes and you're you were just so confused, you're like, what? What raid?
SPEAKER_17What well well thanks, bullet. Uh I I thought I ended streamed like 30 minutes ago, but hey, welcome in, raiders.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, man. Um yeah, like I said, I I strive to be the person that you think I am.
SPEAKER_18Um I mean, that was a great moment. I gotta say, that's probably one of the highlights so far of the year was just rating you completely off off guard. Because, you know, when I rate somebody, I pull them up on you know on the my screen and just make sure like they're not about to get off or something like that. And I noticed like you were just sitting there like in your chair, not even talking, just playing on your phone. I was just like, what is what is he like? Is he waiting for something to download or or what?
SPEAKER_17Just oh, I thought I ended streamed 30 minutes ago.
SPEAKER_18Nope, nope, hey, here we are. Whoops, yeah. That was that was a a great time, great time. Yep, yep. Well, and we had you at 334 followers back in January on the pod, and we are just shy of 400 at 397. So when you come back hitting the stream game hard, what's some some new things you're gonna bring to the table to bring in the new viewers and followers?
SPEAKER_01Hmm, I don't know yet. Um I did I have gotten like you know, some uh those uh uh bean boozled and all that kind of stuff. Might do some challenges and and things like that, uh, which I haven't done in the past yet. But um I'm not gonna say more of the same because it's gonna be a little different for sure. Um but uh yeah. Um I think I'm gonna do more you know solo games probably, other than you know just playing with other people and everything, unless, you know, I'm playing something with you, of course, or you know, something like that.
SPEAKER_18Making me blush over here.
SPEAKER_01Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_18Well, I mean, I have been waiting for that that follow-up faz uh collab that you said we were gonna do, but I guess you just got scared so much on that first go around.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it was it was so scary, man. Well scary.
SPEAKER_18So when you come back, are you gonna just stay on Twitch?
SPEAKER_01Are you gonna branch out to like TikTok or YouTube or um I actually am contemplating trying to branch out a little bit just to see? Um I already have like the the YouTube set up and everything. I just haven't actually streamed on there. And and you know, TikToks, you gotta like jump through hoops at first to to get started. But uh yeah, I'm contemplating doing TikTok, but I'll probably at least do uh YouTube.
SPEAKER_18Gotcha, gotcha. Well, Han, that's all the questions I have for you, buddy. Is there anything you got for me or for your community or just anybody that may or may not have watched or listened to your your episode?
SPEAKER_01Man, um when uh when I do come back, man, just uh I hope everybody, you know, just kind of tries to find their way back to me. That that that was a real big supporter of mine, and uh I'm gonna try and do better now on, I guess. Uh not let uh life get in the way. I don't know. Uh I mean life's gonna happen. That's just part of it, but yeah.
SPEAKER_18Well, I can tell you one person that'll be there, that'll be this guy right here. Big supporter, big supporter. I'm not sure, but I don't want to say I was like one of your first followers, but I know I was in that the double digits for sure.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, you were you were early on, so yeah, you were probably one of my first legit followers, you know what I mean? Other than people trying to like, you know, like sell me something or whatever.
SPEAKER_18I mean, I'm still waiting for you to take me up on my on on the emotes and digital designs, okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well I gotta wait till my cash is right and everything. You know what I'm saying? No, it's playing.
SPEAKER_18Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Um, so where can people reach you? What are your handles on all the platforms?
SPEAKER_01Everything is the Hanway, just uh same as you're gonna you're you see on the screen right now. So it's just yeah. Uh I just got lucky and got got the the the number one of everything.
SPEAKER_18So makes it easy, right? Yes, sir. No impostors here, just the Hanway.
SPEAKER_04Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_18Well, Hon, like I said, that's all I have for you, buddy. I appreciate you taking the time to sit back down with me because I know, like you said earlier, we we just keep missing each other. We set something up and then something comes up and we just end up falling through. But I'm glad we were able to finally sit back down and have a good talk. And you know, looking forward to seeing the Han Way going live again, and I'll definitely be in there to check you out and support you like I've been doing, Brother.
SPEAKER_01Man, I appreciate it, dude.
SPEAKER_18Of course, of course. And you all, if y'all haven't listened to his episode, go check it out. It was a great one for sure. And overall, great streamer, great supporter as well. And Han, thank you again, buddy, and I look forward to seeing you in the future.
SPEAKER_01Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_03All right, we'll talk to y'all later.
SPEAKER_18We now are sitting down again with GDD Goon. Well, I'm sorry, GDD goof now. What what's what happened, my man?
SPEAKER_00Well, uh, Twitch didn't like the name, um, which is crazy because they allowed the name in the first place. And yeah, a year later they were like, nope, that's inappropriate, and it's not even when I came up with the name. I've had that name for probably eight years in gaming total, so yeah, Twitch Twitch just decided now was my time. Man, so yeah, goof it is. I changed one letter.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, it's it's weird now because you know my my walk on until your channel is go go go goon. Now it it feels weird saying go-ga goof. So goon, how's it been? How have you been since you have been on the pod, my man? It's been it's been a couple months. So what tell us what your journey's been like. You done anything new, played any new games lately?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yep. So I've been uh dabbling back into like story and like sort of horror games, I guess, but a lot of collabs since then. Um I don't know if I had known JD at the time, but yeah, JD's probably one of my closest collaborators, like closest friends on here. No offense to any other of my friends, but like we'll be having Discord conversations even after streaming stuff, and just getting closer with new people is awesome. And I would say when I'm not collaborating, um just ran through a majority of the Resident Evil series. Fantastic games, by the way. Like the stories in those are so insanely well done. So I'm I'm diving back into more story-driven games. Um, hopefully in the near future, probably try out stuff like Uncharted, Last of Us, stuff like that.
SPEAKER_18So Okay, well yeah, that seems seems pretty cool because I I've enjoyed watching your your Resident Evil. And that seems to be the going rate, like you're not the you're probably the third person that's been on here so far that has dove into the Resident Evil series. So I guess it's my that y'all are giving me a sign that I need to try it out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, try them out. It's weird too. You can start them at different times. Like I did seven and eight, and then went to two, three, and four, and then went up to nine. So it's it's crazy how the order and the flow of the game just like still tells the same story, but in a different way. It's cool.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, that that was gonna be my next that would have been my next question is which one do you recommend me starting first? Because I've gotten both different answers. I was gonna say I've gotten different answers for for each one each time I've asked.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean, you can kind of start anywhere. I mean, I'm not playing zero or one. Um, those look like eyesores to me, and I get motion sick too fast. But I would say if you want like a good story right off rip, seven is really good. Or two, you could do two. They're kind of played different.
SPEAKER_18I'm gonna write that down real quick. Seven or two, alright? Seven or two by goof. All right, cool deal. So I uh I saw that you posted on your TikTok earlier, which I'm sure the numbers will be grown by the time this airs, but I saw that you just reached a thousand followers on TikTok. Is that correct? Yes.
SPEAKER_00Yep, yep.
SPEAKER_18Big congrats, big congrats. And I have your numbers pulled up right here. So when you were on the pod back in February, you were at 615 followers on Twitch, and now you're at 738, closing in on that 750. Yep. Let's go. Any uh any sellers, any any goals or anything?
SPEAKER_00Nope, just kinda just kind of doing it as it as it goes, trying to find like what captures new viewers, I guess, and like I don't know, just just my style of gameplay. I can switch to story or multiplayer or shooter, stuff like that. So you kinda kinda gamble with that retention rate of people coming in and watching you again, but it's also a good way to find new people that play new games too. So um, and I've just recently been streaming on TikTok as well. That is so slapped on for streaming. Like I think 33 followers in my first day of Resident Evil 9, which was crazy to me. Like it was just everybody's like, is this your first playthrough? I'm like, yeah. So everybody just kind of stuck around, dropped follows. It was crazy.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, that was that was gonna be my next question. Was have have you branched out to any other platforms, which I know you said you're you're fairly new to the TikTok, and I made sure to drop in and give you those likes because I know it's kind of like a like algorithm algorithm, correct? Where the more likes you have on your live on TikTok, the the more it's viewed, per se.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it so I was still learning it like mid-Tik tock stream. Um, but everybody that was kind of popping in there, they were like, Yeah, so if you hit the likes and stuff, it pushes it out to more and more people. Same with sharing and everything and commenting. So it's essentially like a live TikTok post almost. Gotcha.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, well, I made sure to go in there and give my little likey likes and help help you out because you know I'm a big supporter for you, and I've I've been glad to be a part of this journey with you because um have you hit your year yet? Because I know you were close to it on the pod.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yep. So I think my year was in what is it, January? I think it was in March. So last month, I guess, and then um I think I streamed a day later than my actual um affiliate stream because I wanted to go support gypsy while she was streaming, so um, because she was also at her one-year affiliate thing. So I was like, you know what, I'll move it to the next day, and it was a Friday, so it all worked out. It was it was fun.
SPEAKER_18But you're just a big supporter, and you're up to every once in a while, you're a lovable supporter and streamer.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's another thing, is like trying to balance that out is so it's so hard because I want to be in everybody's stream, but at the same time, like if you look at like let's say like Dumplin, she's always trying to support everybody, but like I told her for the longest time, I'm like, don't get burnt out though. Like, if people don't show appreciation for you being there when you can, they're not the right people to be hanging out with or interacting with. So it's just kind of like show up when you can and do what you gotta do to show some love and support, but don't burn out.
SPEAKER_18Oh, yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_00Treat it like a second job.
SPEAKER_18Yes, very very very well spoken on that one. 'Cause IRR definitely comes first, especially balancing, you know, a job or career and if you got a family, you know, you got family you gotta, you know, balance in there. So definitely if you just anybody that shows up and you know, I always say lurkers I I love a lurker. Like if even if you just come in to say hey, I'm here, but you know, I'm lurking or I'm doing hey, you took that time to say, Hey, I'm here, that it's it's greatly appreciated.
SPEAKER_00Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I don't I don't know anybody that would get mad at that, but it does get a little daunting if your chat is like dead, but you have like 10 viewers. It's like, okay, like guess I could start asking questions of like how everybody's been or what's new, but it's kind of like the how's the weather sort of thing.
SPEAKER_18Just something to spark a conversation, yeah. Yeah, yep. Well, Mr. Goof, because I can't call you goon anymore. That's I'd prefer if you did.
SPEAKER_00Everybody's been calling me goof, and it takes me a second. I'm like, oh yeah, it's my name now.
SPEAKER_18Oh, yeah, that's me, right? Uh, that's all I had for you, question-wise. Is there anything you'd like to add? Anything you'd like to say to the community, to me, just in general, for people that may have not listened or watched your podcast.
SPEAKER_00Keep pushing forward, find new people to collab with, play new games, branch out from your typical uh everyday game experience, and yeah, just keep rocking. That's all I gotta say.
SPEAKER_18And where can people find you on your your handles for socials?
SPEAKER_00Um, GGDX goof on TikTok and Twitch, and also YouTube. Um trying to get get a little better with YouTube posting too. Um, because I know there's growth there as well. Not as great, but there's growth there, so uh, feel like that's a little more long form content than anything. But yep, GGD goof on all platforms that I mentioned.
SPEAKER_18There you go. And you guys, if y'all haven't checked him out, be sure to go check him out. He just dropped his socials and all his links. Be sure to go listen to his podcast, watch the episode, and GGD Goof, thank you so much again for sitting down with us and taking time out of your day. You're an incredible streamer, and I look forward to seeing what the future has for you, my guy.
SPEAKER_00Of course, I appreciate ya. All right, Mr.
SPEAKER_03Bullet. Toodles.
SPEAKER_18And now we have the lovely I is a baby doll, not I is a baby doll, because I got corrected on that, but I is baby doll. Welcome back, my friend. How are you doing? Thank you for sitting down with us.
SPEAKER_13I'm doing fantastic.
SPEAKER_18How how has it been since your journey on the podcast?
SPEAKER_13It has been amazing. I've gotten a good chunk of new people who've been popping in and out. It's been so cool. The podcast was just so much fun.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, we had you back in February, and it's you know, almost by the time this airs, it'll be May, but it's crazy, just a couple of months. Just it's been fun.
SPEAKER_13Yeah. And we I haven't even checked my follower amount, but it's skyrocketed.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, we had you at 600. You had just hit your 600 because I remember announcing it on the pod because you didn't know you hit it yet. And we're at 658 as of right now. So what was what was your tell tell the folks that may have missed it what was your big celebration for 600 followers?
SPEAKER_13I didn't do anything. I didn't know it was coming up, so I didn't do anything. I guess the podcast was the celebration.
SPEAKER_18Well, I'm glad. I'm honored to have been your 600 celebration.
SPEAKER_13So yeah, I did not realize I was so close to it.
SPEAKER_18Well, you yeah, yeah, I remember you saying because I I said 600, and you're like, oh my gosh, we hit it. Oh my gosh. Yeah, and yeah. So have you had any new games that you've played?
SPEAKER_13Any new collabs that you've done? I've gotten into some like games that I haven't played often. Uh, I started playing Vampire Survivors again. That one's been fun. Still on the Fortnite grind, always. Um, and always collabing with my friends like Johnny Pot Smoker and Travis as an Asian, all of them.
SPEAKER_18Any new like games that you've may seen coming out in the future that you're excited about?
SPEAKER_13Um not really. There's a couple of games that I want. Uh there's like this pirate one, it's called Wind Road. Looks like a lot of fun. Um, and that's kind of it. I've been very content with the games that I already have.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, Windrose definitely looks like it'd be a fun, fun game to play.
SPEAKER_13I uh I'm just a sucker for pirates. Yep, hence the little one on my mic right here.
SPEAKER_18I see that. I see that. Yeah, he's new. He was he wasn't there on the podcast.
SPEAKER_13So have no, he wasn't. One of my streamer friends got him for me as a birthday present.
SPEAKER_18Let's go, W streamer friend. Let's see.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_18So have you branched out to any other platforms or are you still just on Twitch?
SPEAKER_13Uh still just on Twitch.
SPEAKER_18Okay. Any plans? So do you like TikTok or Utah? Utop. YouTube?
SPEAKER_13Not really. Not really, no. I feel like I'm already overwhelmed with Twitch as it is, and then posting the clips on TikTok. I'm still bad at doing that. So I feel like I need to get a little more comfortable with what I'm currently doing before I start branching out.
SPEAKER_18That's understandable. I completely agree with that. Those are all the questions that I have. You have like just blown them out of the water.
SPEAKER_17Like I think I did that with the podcast too.
SPEAKER_18I'm just like, oh, oh, normally this goes a little bit longer, but I mean that's that's all I have for you, friends. So uh is there anything you'd like to say to me, to the community, just in general, to people that may or may not have watched or heard your podcast?
SPEAKER_13I mean, yeah. For starters, like, keep doing this. This whole podcast thing has been so amazing. And if any of the other guests feel the way that I did during the podcast, it like have to be on a podcast, it was such an ego boost, and it really helped my stream. So keep it up. You are like the best person for supporting small streamer communities, and yeah.
SPEAKER_18Well, I agree.
SPEAKER_13You're doing some great work here.
SPEAKER_18I appreciate that. Thank you. And I'm sure I can answer that because that everybody, well, how did you feel doing the podcast? That that would be the next question. So so people can compare their notes.
SPEAKER_13Yeah, I was super nervous during it, but there was such an adrenaline adrenaline rush that it it was like it was just amazing. I I felt like I was a superstar. Just being asked to be on the podcast was the coolest thing I'd ever done.
SPEAKER_18Well, you are a superstar, you are a megastar, okay. Yeah, do the hair flipping everything. Smile and wave, smile and wave.
SPEAKER_13Smile and wave.
SPEAKER_18But yes, it was it was a phenomenal time. I enjoyed myself. You are an incredible. It was so much fun, and I really hate the time zones because you always you normally go live when I'm already in bed because you know I'm old and enjoy my my sleep. But I enjoy coming in and when I can and supporting you. Just incredible vibes, always a positive, positive energy. And I try my best to seeing what you have in store for us in the future. And if people did not see or watch your podcast, where could they find you? What are your handles for all the platforms?
SPEAKER_13Um, I is baby doll on Twitch and same on TikTok. I post all my not all. When I'm actually on top of it, I post my clips on there. Um I did just start an Instagram for my press on nails, which is baby doll underscore nail underscore art. So there's a little self-promo for the nails in there. Um, but that's about it.
SPEAKER_18Well, y'all, like I said, if y'all have not checked her out or any of the other guests on the pod so far, be sure to go check their episodes out. They are incredible, and I've enjoyed sitting down and interviewing everybody and just supporting all of them. So, baby doll, thank you so much for sitting down with us again. And like I said, I look forward to seeing what the future has for you and can't wait to see what's in stores.
SPEAKER_13Let's go! I am happy to be here anytime. I like the ego boost.
SPEAKER_18There you go. But we will talk to you and catch you later, baby doll. Alrighty, all right, toodles, and now we have with us uh the lovely uh Jesse Coyle. Miss Jesse, welcome back and thank you for taking the time to sit back down with us.
SPEAKER_08Of course. Thank you for inviting me.
SPEAKER_18And uh, Miss Jesse, how has it been since the last time we've chatted with you? What's what's been new?
SPEAKER_08Um, well, I did start a new job. Um, I've been very busy with that. And I've also did a whole playthrough of The Last of Us. Um, I replayed it. Um, I know that we talked about it on the podcast where that was the very first game that I ever played or streamed. Um and so we had a poll in my Discord and everybody voted that I replay it. So we just completed that a couple streams ago, and that was pretty fun. I liked it.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, because I I think I remember recommending you to play it through again because you said that yeah you regretted it because you didn't have the audience, and I said, Well, just you know, you got the you got the community now because you were at 731 followers on the podcast because I remember crut helping crush your goal of 700 because you said it would be awesome if you could hit 700 before the pod. So I was like, Bet. Yeah, I had you at 700 within like a few days.
SPEAKER_08Yes, that was awesome. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you really you really popped off with that.
SPEAKER_18And then now we have you at 764 followers, and we had you on back in the beginning of March, and I know you said you've been working with this new job, so yeah. What's what's some new goals for you? What's what's something we can see in the future for streams?
SPEAKER_08Um Well, I would like to hit 800, hopefully, by the end of this month. Um, I've been trying to navigate um the new job work schedule with streaming. Um, so it's been kind of difficult to be able to stream, especially since I have to do new hours now that I'm working at night. Um, so that that's just something I gotta figure out. But I would like to reach 800 by the end of this month. Um potentially hit a thousand. If we're talking like kind of long-term goals, like within the year, I would say I'll hopefully hit a thousand by the end of the year. And I believe at a thousand, we're gonna figure out some sort of like interactive stream, maybe like um like having like goals like during the stream, like, oh, if we reach this many like bits, I'll do something funny, you know, like just something interactive, or I might do like uh instead of a 12-hour stream, you know, we might we might hit them with a 24-hour stream, something like that. Uh, I don't know, we gotta figure it out, but I definitely want to do something fun and like celebratory for that. Um definitely want to start doing streams where I play like with either other streamers or like my community. Um, I was thinking about doing like at least once a month having a community stream time, whether we play like a like a multiplayer game. Um, because I know a lot of people have asked about that, and I would love to play with people. It's just like it's really hard to do that when everybody is in different time zones or has different work schedules. Um, so I don't really know how to coordinate that, but I would love to start that. Also, I'd like to start, you know, playing with other streamers as well, because I know multiple people have asked me, and yeah, it's just hard to like kind of coordinate with that, with that with people. And now that I'm working nights, I work at the midnight shifts. So I work midnight to 8 a.m. So now with that, I don't know how that would be, how that would work, but those are definitely some goals that I have. It's just figuring out the logistics of it.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, time zone.
SPEAKER_08So if you have any tips, let me know.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I I was gonna say time zones suck for sure, especially working, you know, third shift. So but I'm always down for a collab. You just hit me up whenever and I I'll be there. Because I've always wanted to have a Jesse Coyle collaboration.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, me too. I would yeah, I would love to play games with you. Um, and I know do you do you work nights as well?
SPEAKER_18I work 24s.
SPEAKER_08Oh, yeah, you're right.
SPEAKER_187A to 7A.
SPEAKER_08Damn. Okay. So honestly, then you're then you're kind of used to being awake at night, so we we might be able to figure something out.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, like I said, you just let me know. I mean, if it's a 2 a.m. stream, hey, we'll we'll figure it out. Oh, I just saw the lovely the lovely Red Bull. I just saw the cameo.
SPEAKER_08Yep, gotta have it.
SPEAKER_18So have we uh I I'm I'm assuming not, but have you branched out to any other platforms other than Twitch or are you still mainly on Twitch when you stream?
SPEAKER_08Um, I'm still on Twitch when I stream. Um like I said, I have tried the TikTok thing before. Also, I'm sorry if you can hear my dog barking in the background, he's like freaking out. Um, he barks at nothing. But I've tried the TikTok thing, didn't really like it. Um I want to try it again someday. It's just like a lot to set up. So right now I'm just doing I'm just doing um Twitch and then just posting like videos on tick uh TikTok and trying to keep up with Instagram. That's mostly what I do.
SPEAKER_18And you're still doing your long videos for YouTube as well.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, I still post on YouTube. I'm a little bit behind right now because of work, but I do still post like all my VODs on YouTube. I literally have all of them saved. It's just means of posting them and like edit editing them and stuff. But yeah, I do also try to keep up with the YouTube so that way if anybody misses a stream or a playthrough that I've done, they can always go back on YouTube and watch that and you know see what choices I made or you know, see how scared I got during a horror game.
SPEAKER_17I gotcha, I got you. Well, Miss Jesse, that's all the questions I have for you.
SPEAKER_18Is there any comments or anything you have for me or the community that just somebody that may or may not have watched your listen to your podcast? Is there anything you'd like to say?
SPEAKER_08Um Well, I really like spooky stuff. Uh if you are into horror games and stri uh story games, choice-based games, if you are um into cats, if you love cats, if you love animals, um anything Halloween related, um, that's me in a nutshell. So if you guys are into that, um I'd appreciate it if you checked me out. And I do play a lot of different horror games, um, and may always make bad decisions in video games. So yeah, if you guys want to check that out, that'd I'd appreciate it. I'm all I'm at like like you said before, 764. So almost 800.
SPEAKER_18So and what's your handle for all your platforms that people can reach out and find you?
SPEAKER_08Um, so my Twitch is just Jesse Coil. Um, my TikTok is jessiecoyle.ttv. My YouTube is um jessie plays games, but the S's and plays and games are Z. And my Instagram, I believe, is jessiecoil.tv as well.
SPEAKER_18Gotcha. Well, there you got it, folks. Y'all heard her there. Go check her out on all her socials. Be sure to go check out her video, I mean her podcast. It was a fun time for sure. And Jesse, it was a pleasure to sit back down with you again and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule because I know work's kicking your butt. Uh stay awesome. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you, my friend. And I enjoy supporting you and can't wait to see what happens.
SPEAKER_08Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_18All right, girl, that's gonna be it for us. I'll catch you on the next one.
SPEAKER_08All right, bye. Tootaloo.
SPEAKER_18And now we have the one and only lovely Mooney on my mind. Mooney, welcome back, and thank you for sitting back down with us again. How's it going? What's new? Talk to me.
SPEAKER_07So good, so good. Um been really busy doing like off-stream stuff. It's been super fun. I just got back from Nashville with the girls. Um taking kind of a break from streaming lately. Like I've only been streaming one day a week, but it's helping it's helping the mental load, I think. Taking a little bit of time off. But nothing too crazy new over here.
SPEAKER_18Well, that was going to be into the next question was have you had any new games or any new collabs or anything since you've been on the pod? Because it was April 11th, we had you on here. So a little over a month ago. Anything new playing wise?
SPEAKER_07Um, I know since that time I've finished Dragon Age the Veil Guard, and me and Summer started Reanimal. And I started split fiction with Wally. So a couple of new ones, and finally finished one that I've been working on forever. Dragon Age took me a while.
SPEAKER_18Did you cry at the end of it?
SPEAKER_07I crowed. I cried so bad. I cried so I literally my plan for that day was a Wednesday. I was like, alright, I have like an hour left of the game. I'll finish the game and I'll start a new game at the end. And I literally had to be like, Alright, guys, I actually have to go. I gotta go process this. And I ended it as soon as the game was over. It was so good, so worth it.
SPEAKER_18No reading out tonight, guys. Just I I gotta I gotta go deal with this. Alright, goodbye, good night.
SPEAKER_06I gotta go. Sorry.
unknownBye.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, y'all see yourselves out. There's the door. Bye. Love you. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, love you, bye.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, literally. Goodbye. Get out.
unknownJust go.
SPEAKER_18You ain't you ain't gotta go home, but you gotta get out of here. Go home with somebody. Yeah, stay here.
SPEAKER_06Literally.
SPEAKER_18So is there anything exciting, new, like gameplay or anything? What's what's the future hold for Miss Mooney? Because like I said, we've had it's been a little over a month, and I know you said been you've been taking a little mental break with one day a week streaming. So was what what's the future hold for Miss Mooney?
SPEAKER_07Um I I was gifted dispatch from a friend, Nippy, and that one I'm gonna start soon. And I also wanted to play uh Detroit Become Human. I'm trying to get more into like a choice-based game. So I think they're super interesting. And they don't take like as long of an amount of time as like a regular story game, I feel like. At least one as long as Dragon Age.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I mean, you know, sometimes the drag the the drag the story games kind of you know makes makes for uh good content, especially if it's uh drags out for a while because it makes the people want to come back. Alright, is she gonna finish it? Is she gonna finish it? Because you know, I I've been doing little nightmares uh for the first time playthroughs, and let me tell you what. Last yeah, when when I played it last night, I y'all would have y'all saw a side of me that I was not a proud of. It was bad.
SPEAKER_07It was bad.
SPEAKER_18It was bad. I was crashing out so hard. It was I'm sure chat was enjoying it, but I was over here punching the air, I was biting my tongue.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, they like they like to see you lose your mind a little bit.
SPEAKER_18I lost a lot of it, that's for sure.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I don't I haven't tried Little Nightmares yet. I played Little Nightmares three but I haven't played the first two. But I watched it like I know the story and it looks like it could be annoying at times.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, we uh I did the night Little Nightmares one. We played it for about two and a half, almost three hours. And when I ended stream, apparently I ended streaming right before the final boss fight. And when I went back to it the next night, I was like, if that's how much longer I would have just finished it last night, so Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now we're on the second one, halfway through the second one, and I told I think Summer said she would do Little Nightmares 3 with me when I got to it, so we'll see.
SPEAKER_07Heck yeah. Little Nightmares 3 was good.
SPEAKER_18Well, I see we had your numbers at 407 follower numbers, and we currently got you at 427. So 20 followers. Let's go.
SPEAKER_06Let's go.
SPEAKER_18Is there anything you'd like to say to your community, my community, just anybody in general that may or may not have listened to your podcast? Just give them a rundown of Mooney.
SPEAKER_07Well, people my community like to say that it's a little uh wild on this side. Over here it gets a pretty uh freaky borderline. Um we just we just have a good time or loud. Um and anybody's welcome. I'm thankful for anybody and everybody who comes and hangs out with me and tells me like all the little jokes I got, or just a little bit of everything. We have a good time together.
SPEAKER_18Good distinctions sometimes supervised fun.
SPEAKER_07Sometimes Well Ms.
SPEAKER_18Mooney, I I had more questions for you, but I have lost my questionnaire form somewhere, so I apologize.
SPEAKER_17It is over.
SPEAKER_18But I think I think if I memory serves correctly, I think I've I've kind of hit them all on the head, but I'm sure I'm gonna listen back to the other ones and I'm gonna oh man, I forgot about that one.
SPEAKER_07Oh man. It'll be alright.
SPEAKER_18But where can people find you that like I said may not have watched or listened to your podcast? What are all your handles on plat oh do you have you stuck to Twitch or have you branched out to other platforms?
SPEAKER_07Still just on Twitch. Um I one of the goals is for me for this second year of streaming, because in a month it'll be a year for me. I want to start either streaming on YouTube or like posting videos, like edited videos of my stream on YouTube. And so I have Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok all many on my mind. I might have an Instagram too, but I never get on Instagram.
SPEAKER_18That's a thing to do.
SPEAKER_07I think so. Maybe. I don't know.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I have to do that.
SPEAKER_07I think I made one and then just never got back on I don't I don't think I posted anything on that page or anything. Yeah, I just want to do that.
SPEAKER_18I have one too, and I feel so bad because I'll post everything on TikTok and then I'm just like, oh, uh yeah, I should I forgot. Yeah, maybe I should yeah, I could put it there.
SPEAKER_07That is what that's for.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, it is. But I'm getting better, I'm getting better.
SPEAKER_07That's all you can uh change your day, man.
SPEAKER_18That's right.
SPEAKER_07So try to keep getting better.
SPEAKER_18Well, Miss Mooney, like I said, that's all questions I have for you. Thank you so much again for taking the time to sit back down with us and being a guest on this podcast. You're incredible. I enjoy watching your content and your streaming and your community growing every time you go live. Like I said, the supervised uh the supervision is is a plus sometimes, but you know, sometimes it should it's even better without, especially with the the the Mooney on my Goonie on my mind.
SPEAKER_06There it is.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, gotta do it again. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, be prepared for a Goonie on my mind.
SPEAKER_04The one and only.
SPEAKER_18But thank you again so much, Mooney. I hope I hope you have a great rest of your day, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you, and I will definitely be along for the ride.
SPEAKER_07Amazing. I'd love to hear it. Thank you, bullet.
SPEAKER_18Of course, Mooney. We'll see you later.
SPEAKER_07Bye! Doodles.
SPEAKER_18And now we have the one and only Mr. Big Malta back in the studio. Mr. Malta, thank you so much for coming back and joining us, good buddy. Of course, man. Glad to be here. Thank you for having me. So, Malta, what's what's new? How how have you been? It's been a little over a month since we've had you on the pod. Did you done anything new? Any new games, new collabs? Just just give us a little rundown. What has been like in this last month with you, buddy?
SPEAKER_15Yeah, well, I'm glad to glad to talk about this with you. We were just kind of saying here, time goes by real quick. Here it's been over a month. It's very surprising. I went by in a heartbeat. Biggest thing I'm working on here is actually just splicing together and editing a bunch of footage I've been taking over the last month from traveling around, attending a couple of different events, and making sure that that's put together in a fashion that's presentable, still easy to watch. Not something that's just a compilation eclipse, more or less like an actual vlog of those events. That's been a big project I've been working on.
SPEAKER_18Is the uh Ditto tattoo gonna be a part of the video?
SPEAKER_15Yeah, certainly. A part of that is actually we met one of the people who was an original voice actor on the Pokemon TV show for 20 years, has the voice of Ash Ketchum, and I told her about that. So that's included in that vlog. I'm very jealous. Very jealous experience, eh?
SPEAKER_17So have you branched out to any other platforms, or are you still just mainly on Twitch? That's gonna be a YouTube endeavor, more or less.
SPEAKER_15So I still have been cross-streaming to YouTube, but trying to branch out and make a video for that platform has been something a little out of my comfort zone or something a little bit new to me that I'd like to continue to invest some time in. Just a different creative endeavor, if you will. That's the biggest kind of branch out I've done so far, though.
SPEAKER_18Well, nice. I'm definitely gonna have to take a look at it. I know I followed you for on YouTube after the podcast because I realized I wasn't following you. So I'm definitely gonna have to check that out. For sure.
SPEAKER_15I just gotta get to posting it.
SPEAKER_18Mainly just because of the the the Ash Ketchum voiceover, because big Pokemon fan have always been a big Pokemon fan, so actually, it just makes sense.
SPEAKER_15It's a beloved franchise, truly, and I mean that was a good experience. I want to be able to share that with people and just kind of tell them, like, hey, this is worth worth being a fan of for sure. It's a really good time.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I um I'm currently building a display for the game room for Man Cave type deal, and it's the original 151 card from when we were kids, like False Little Jungle and Base Set. I'm missing two cards, and I'll have all 151.
SPEAKER_15So you have 149 and 151?
SPEAKER_18Well, 149 is in the mail, so black blast does is on its way, but I'm missing Charizard and Gengar. But holo, the holo Gengar, not just the the normal I any holographics, I'm doing the hollows, so yeah, it's definitely money consuming for sure.
SPEAKER_15Oh, especially that Charizard, that ain't gonna come cheap.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, well, for sure, for sure. And I might just cheap out and just get a fake one because I just can't justify spending that much money just just to tape it into a frame.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, that makes sense. I can understand that a hundred percent.
SPEAKER_18That's totally on that's so we have you with 494 followers on the date of the pod on August 19th, and you're currently sitting at 504. So any insights or just uh I guess ideas or something to bring more folks into seeing you?
SPEAKER_15Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'm glad to have passed the 500 mark, and that's something we had talked about on the pod, and I'm proud to say we've we've hit the goal, so really excited about that. I've been a little slow moving personally, given all of my uh work stuff lately and our time away. I've been actually lacking on keeping my steady stream schedule. So I'm excited to get back into that and still keep building up the community, keep building up that number. I'm really excited that the community members that have come around have all been like involved in different ways, whether it's either just conversationally or friends of mine or people that are friends of friends. I'm really happy to incorporate that and get to know a lot of new people. I think that's really exciting.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I know you said you've had a busy month, and you like you like you were saying beforehand, that it's just been a just tough trying to link back up because you've been away on holiday and you know you've been doing your your off-stream stuff and you know, comic cons and everything. You're just a busy, busy man. So thank you so much for being able to sit back down with me.
SPEAKER_15Of course, happy to. I want to get back into that degree of normality, and I'm excited that we can sit down and do this. That just feels good.
SPEAKER_18It does indeed. Any any work on the Nietz Gaming Awards? Any any new updates on that?
SPEAKER_15Yeah, there's always things in the back of my mind with that. I've been having a couple conversations with fellow creators here, just getting the ball kind of rolling for that wintertime endeavor. More or less working on the stream frontier off camera, of course, making sure that I have new equipment, new assets, and keeping things fun and interesting on this side before we can jump back into the big events again. So a couple of things in the works as it stands, but excited to see where things go.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, it'll be here before you know it. Like we were just saying, you know, it's it's hard to believe it's been a month since you know you were on the pod, and it's like a blink of an eye, and here we are. So blink of an eye, it'll be October, and blink of an eye will be the time for the niche awards. So absolutely a will. I'm looking forward to it. I am looking forward to it for sure.
SPEAKER_15Me too, me too. I think it's such a good way to meet people and for our existing community members to meet new people. I think that's so much fun.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, because it's like I said on the on the episode with you was that's actually how I met you was at the gaming awards. So definitely a fun time. So you guys be sure to tune in when it comes time for that.
SPEAKER_15Yeah, you'll hear about it well in advance, I promise. Yeah, I'm really excited for that. I always pre-watch the other awards ceremonies and showcases through the year to kind of uh steal ideas. Imitation is a sincere form of flattery in this case. So if I'm like, wow, they're doing something really right, I'll try to put my own spin on it and incorporate that as well. There you go. Well, Mr.
SPEAKER_18Malta, is there anything you'd like to say to me or to the community or just people that may have not listened or watched your podcast, just anything in general?
SPEAKER_15Yeah, just to express some gratitude to you, of course, for having me on this podcast and give me that experience. That was really fun, really great to meet some new folks as well. I think that's just phenomenal. Otherwise, just a sincere thank you to the community and the people who stick around and still come back, even after I keep a messy stream schedule, to still see the friendly faces I'm used to come back around and not have forgotten me. I always appreciate that.
SPEAKER_18And if nobody has watched or listened to your pod, where where can they reach you or you know, catch a stream, or just what are your social links?
SPEAKER_15Oh, yeah, easiest place is the Twitch channel, Big Malta, the easy easy one. Same thing with YouTube. If you look that up, you will find me there. That's where I'll be posting that vlog that I was talking about. I still keep the stream crossed between the both of them, so that's an easy, easy place. Or you can look me up on Instagram. I'll be posting clips, and I still usually post stories and uh updates when I go live as well with direct links to the uh stream.
SPEAKER_18There you go, folks. Shall I heard it? Big Malta across all platforms. You won't be disappointed. He is a great streamer, W supporter, and always growing. Big Malta, thank you again so much, friend, for taking the time to sit back down with us and just give us a little insight of what's been going on since you've been on the pod. Of course, man, and congratulations on a great season as well. Thank you, sir, and I look forward to that niche gaming awards, niche gaming awards. I keep mispronouncing, I'm sorry. The niche gaming.
SPEAKER_15I see how it's written, that just makes sense.
SPEAKER_18But yeah, Malta, you take care of my good friend. I got I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you, and you just keep staying awesome and keep grinding, brother.
SPEAKER_15Likewise, man. Thank you so much.
SPEAKER_18All right, man. We'll talk to y'all later.
SPEAKER_15Sounds good.
SPEAKER_18And now, last but not least, we are joined again by the one and only Rogue Airis. Did I do it right? Did I did I roll the Right for you?
SPEAKER_10Yes, it's Rogue Airis.
SPEAKER_18Rogue Rogue Iris. There we go.
SPEAKER_10Just the beginning has to be rolled.
SPEAKER_18Uh I'll I'll work on it, I promise. I'll do better. I'll do better. So so Rogue, you are our last guest that we had on the pod. You were, I guess you could say, the season finale for season one of this podcast. So what's new? Anything, any new games, any collabs or anything?
SPEAKER_10Um, gee, that was so long ago. It's kind of hard to see what happened since then. Um, I I do know that I mean, I it's only been a few weeks, and uh, I can definitely say that I have been doing more variety uh than horror. I think it's been two weeks in a row so far of just trying out literally, yeah, just exactly that new games, games that I hadn't played with my friends in a while. Um first week was like more, like you know, they were all indie games, right? Um, and it was more plane theme, airline theme. There was literally one where I was it's called Don't Panic, it is just turbulence, um, where you're a pilot and your friend has to be in the uh air traffic control tower, and you guys just try and communicate and figure out, like, all right, this instrument's broken, tell me how to fix it. And it's like, I don't know what that is. How does it look like? You know, it's like that game where you you're like diffusing a bomb with a friend, but airplane kind. And then I did like a flight attendant like simulator. So that whole week was just like, what random game can we play that's like plane related? And then the following week was if it's um COD zombies, and I did um a game where you you run a business, and that business is a casino. So instead of me gambling, I'm making people gamble. Um, so definitely very new games, very, very variety. Um, might have maybe played Faz or some horror game like once since I was on the uh the streamcast. And uh other than that, um still playing Kingdom Come though for my main RPG story for like YouTube and stuff.
SPEAKER_18So that was gonna kind of lead into the next question. Whereas are you still mainly on Twitch or are you doing other platforms as well?
SPEAKER_10Yeah, I mean, since the I mean it was mentioned in my interview as well, so it's not like I did any new platforms. Uh definitely just Twitch and YouTube. YouTube is still fresh, new. Um, I do have an Instagram account, but I don't really post on it. Um, I remembered I had it to go like like your Instagram post or advertisement on on like my show. So I was like, I'm just gonna, and then suddenly I started seeing some other people, I guess, just find it like IRL friends though, and they're like following. I'm like, no, I'm not doing anything on here, but I guess it's ready. I guess the account's ready if anyone wants to follow it, so you can be there for like the first post, but otherwise, very actively still only on Twitch and YouTube, not Instagram or TikTok, not even an account for TikTok.
SPEAKER_18So gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, I uh I'm I'm I'm getting better with Instagram because you know that I I I know it used to be a thing back in the day, and it's like I still can't believe it's still a thing, but it's another platform, so we're gonna utilize it, right? Right. So, Miss Rogue, we have you on May 6th. We had you at 349 followers, and as of today, you're at 361. So I mean, hey, that's what 11, 12 followers in two weeks, so that's some growth, some growth.
SPEAKER_10Yeah, like six people a week. That's not too bad. Yeah, not too bad. So what's you know, there's always one. There's always one new follower that I'm always excited to have.
SPEAKER_18So yeah, and I remember you you hitting on that in your episode too. You said as long as if it's just one follower every time, you know, that's that's someone new. So, what's some ideas or plans for the future to bring in, you know, more eyes to you?
SPEAKER_10Yeah, um, I feel like it's time I have trolled too many people into playing scary horror games solo. I have been in the comfort of my Faz and Lethal, and you know, they're not like really that scary, and they're co-ops, so I can like play with other people. It's I play those games more of a good time than to get genuinely scared, but I've like convinced very many people already to do solo, and then they're like, wait, you've never even played this? Wait, you've never even done that? So I'm like, oh, you know what? Yeah, it's time. So I'm gonna start doing um more solo horror games. And I have done some in the four before, some done some in the past before, like Silent Hill F or uh Beyond the Deep or something. Um I completely forgotten it, but it's like an oil rig game. But so it's like it's time that I do more. So I'm gonna start playing more of the Silent Hill games. Um, I'll try and get some MVRE games, Outlast one, outlast two, because I've done Outlast trials, but and here's a kitty. Um, I'm sorry, that looked bad, but I was trying to catch her. Um and you know, some other games that I've wanted to play as well are like Amnesia. Uh, this one game I got um our buddy Night Riser to do recently is at Dead of Night. She was absolutely gagged when she found out that I haven't played the game, have only rewatched it. And she's like, I can't believe I got you to convince me to play this one. And yeah, it was that. It was that stream, that marathon that she did of that, where I was like, okay, now I really feel bad because I'm also jump scaring like her and like any other people uh while they play it. So it's like I should probably return to favor now, like play something absolutely terrifying for me so you guys can have a laugh. Um, so there's also that. So if anyone would like to do a bunch of jump scare readings, I'm gonna start having more of those around. So and I'll have the heart rate monitor as well. Um, no more goofing around. It's time to have me suffer and you guys laugh.
SPEAKER_18Yeah, I've uh I've never played Dead of Night either, but I've seen some folks. I've I've seen quite enough people play it that I I know the the story and the gameplay of it. So it's in my game cart, and I'll get it one day, and that'll be something I can do as well for you guys to jump scare me. I'm actually uh this coming up week, I'm gonna be playing Don't Scream, which is the That's right. Yeah, so that that's gonna be fun. And I just got Tangia working too, so it it'll definitely be a fun time.
SPEAKER_10I've definitely heard about Tangia and I have yet to really check it out, but I hope I can soon because you know it's it's looking like to be very efficient and like a lot of good sounds, so oh yeah, good features.
SPEAKER_18Indeed, and the little bit that I have already, it definitely comes into play when I'm playing Faz. So chat definitely loves trolling me. Well, Ms. Arog Airis, that's all I have question-wise for you. Um appreciate you taking the time to sit back down with us. Is there anything you'd like to say to me, to your community, or just anybody that may have not had a chance to listen or watch your episodes yet?
SPEAKER_10Uh yeah, I mean, again, thank you for having me on the show, having me back here. It's only been a few weeks, but uh, I've just been getting more encouragement, more support from people, not only from like uh the number of followers coming in, but you know, some people commenting on YouTube. So for those of you in YouTube who are new to the community, very brand new, because um, if you've only found me here on YouTube instead of Twitch, then um there's gonna be plenty of content coming up uh for you know that other platform to discover me to check me out. And then of course Twitch as always, and then some friends who I've been able to talk to, like outside of stream, uh, you know, and like phone calls like these, like in like intimate nights or just like no one's streaming at all, and everyone's just hanging out, them being like, No, I can actually see you doing really well. And I'm like, I'm seeing small numbers, but people are seeing the big impact. Um, so I'll just have to, you know, believe when people tell me that I'm doing good. But again, thank you. Thank you. Um, the words of reassurance are always appreciated. Uh, and I love being able to hang out with more streamers as well as talk to anyone that might be leaving comments on YouTube and things like that. So it's just like thanks, guys. This is really, I don't even know what else to say, but thanks. And I feel like at this point I'm saying things that so many other people have said before too. But it's just like, because it's just true. It's just so genuinely true. Like how I'm feeling and how all these other people, when they say thank you, are feeling. Um, but yeah, and then more variety, um, more we'll be unique. Next next few episodes and everything will all be pretty unique. So I hope you guys are ready for that. But same schedule, just different content. Hope to have as many of you um join me for growth and progress and as we experiment. So because now we're going to really try out things that we're not used to. And I don't know if it's gonna work, but yeah.
SPEAKER_18And where can people find your what's your handle on all platforms for people to be able to find you?
SPEAKER_10Uh yeah, it's going to be Rogue Eris in both Twitch and YouTube. And like I said, sure if you want to follow on Instagram, but that's R-O-G-U-E-A-I-R-I-S.
SPEAKER_18Well, there you have it, folks. Be sure to go check her episode out. It was a fantastic episode. Definitely our longest episode yet, because she had a lot to say and a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
SPEAKER_10I feel so bad. I hope I'm not the longest Verderika, but I feel like I also will be.
SPEAKER_18Oh no, you are fine, friend. But you just have a lot of wisdom for for this journey of yours to be, you know, only a year and a half, almost two years, I believe, is what you said it was. You have definitely been a big impact on the community, my community especially, and I've definitely enjoyed catching on your streams and getting to know you. And thank you again for taking the time to sit back down with me. And I look forward to seeing what the future has for you, buddy.
SPEAKER_10Yeah. Oh my god. I'm gonna like cry as soon as this call is over. I'm like, oh my god, that's true, you're not just saying that. Uh that's so fun though.
SPEAKER_18Well rogue. Uh appreciate you again, friend, and we will catch up with you later.
SPEAKER_10Of course. I'll see you guys in a chat or whatever.
SPEAKER_03Bye. Yes. There you have it.
SPEAKER_18Thank y'all so much for a phenomenal season. Thank y'all so much to all the guests that have came and sat down and talked with me and just been a great streamer and great communities. And the fact that you all have sat through this and read and you know, just re-watched everybody that has been on here all the way back from September to two weeks ago just shows me that obviously this is this is something and it's going somewhere. And you know, thank y'all. I'm reading y'all's comments right now. Thank you for putting this together, Cyber. Yes. Thank you for being a guest, hybrid, um, hybrid cyber, Alex, Papa, Wildflower, Han, Shout, Goof, Baby Doll, Jesse, Mooney, Malta, uh, Rogue, Trash Panda, and Doxic. Like, you guys have been incredible. Do we get a hint as to who's next? Um, she is mainly a TikTok streamer. I will give you all that. It it like I said, it it's really humbling because I really did not think this was going anywhere. And for you guys to just when's the next one, when's the next one.
SPEAKER_03I I have no words because I I I feel like I broke the record.
SPEAKER_18Like I feel like I'm just repeating myself, but I d I know I'm doing something right. Because it definitely is not something you see on Twitch and not something that is really talked about per se. You know, it's been it's mainly your big streamers, like the m the ones with thousands and thousands of followers that get the chance to sit down and talk on podcasts that are major p uh published podcasts and everything that us small streamers get looked over in a way. And if I can make a small streamer feel like a mega streamer, then I will do whatever I can to make them feel like that. And whether it's just a little two-minute video on TikTok or two-hour podcast, I will continue to do it and I will continue to support as much as I can. But yes, send me flyers, send me events, like I want to send, like I want to share you guys, I want to help you guys grow. I want to yeah, I want to share you guys, I want to help you guys, I want to get y'all's stuff out there. I will start posting it to my TikToks, I will start posting it to my Instagrams. Like, I have no problem sharing your guys' stuff. I love you all so so much. And that's what I'm all about. And you know that. And I'm a broken record. Thank you all so so much. I love you all so much. God bless you all. I am so thankful that I get to uh met every single one of y'all. I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for all you all. I am so excited to see what season two has in stores for us. I love you all, and I'll catch y'all on the next one. Toodles.
