My personal perspective on streamer orgs, collabs etc

Last Sunday group of big streamers, mostly from World of Warcraft scene, announced the creation of their organization called One True King, OTK. I’m really far from WoW tbh, but watch Asmongold a lot recently, so I caught the announcement and it was great, org itself seems really interesting and with a lot of potential, many ideas and some things already in motion, I hope they will succeed with all their plans and even if with part, that will already be some quality content and positive influence for the scene.

But for me it also had some “side effects”, it got me really inspired in a way and made me think about stuff like this – organizations, collaborations between streamers, streamer houses and all that jazz. So there will be a lot of thinkening in this post… Continue reading “My personal perspective on streamer orgs, collabs etc”

Current state of my channel and life after adjustments to schedules

Now that it’s been a bit more than a month since I tamed my streaming hours, returned my day off and introduced some “speshul” days in my schedule, it’s time to review some first results. Just sorta little IRL update. Continue reading “Current state of my channel and life after adjustments to schedules”

My imqhotbqh on Genshin Impact

AYAYA fellow weebs, it’s time for my take on your waifu collecting simulator. Yeah, yours, no waifus here, I’m in purely for gameplay and insane plot of course as a proper refined gentleman.

Instant disclaimer: I don’t like gacha monetization mechanics, game is good and doesn’t force these mechanics on you too much, but since it’s still there please be careful and responsible with spending your money, because game sure knows how to bait it out of you. Now let’s get to my thoughts about the game itself… Continue reading “My imqhotbqh on Genshin Impact”

My imqhotbqh on Crusader Kings 3

If you guys managed to catch some of my recent streams, you probably know that I’m actually embracing the 5Head-ness and trying some of that Paradox Grand thinkening, I think it was already overdue and I knew that I’ll enjoy that. And I sure do.

Game even got me into state of mind that made me start 5Head Wednesday now for strategy, tycoon, management and other games that require a bit more brain activity than usual (card games will go there too probably) and first 5Head Wednesday already was a blast. But for now more about CK3… Continue reading “My imqhotbqh on Crusader Kings 3”

My take on recent mid-roll ads idea on Twitch

Well I’ll start with ez tl;dr – “It is a really bad idea to add mid-roll ads on Twitch”, that’s it, you read it, nothing to see here – move along.

But seriously it’s a part of a long “paradigm shift” that Twitch is doing to increase their ad revenue through us, streamers working on increasing our ad revenue, current clown fiesta is second move in that process, first I didn’t dedicate a blog post too, because it actually seemed quite good and didn’t stir any drama, but let’s discuss it more.

Back to regular blogging, more on scheduling and plans

More than a month of non-stop streaming, almost 280 hours of streaming in a month, so more than 9 hours on average with no day offs and honestly, it’s not even something insane, but the problem is finding time to do something else. Not even like IRL things like hanging out with friends etc (even though I even managed to fit some of that in my schedule too), but also things related to streaming, like setting some things up, writing on this blog and so on. It’s not like I really need to write on my blog as a part of my streamer’s “career”, or I can’t live without a YT channel, or something else – nah, it’s no problems, but it’s something you need to do just for the sense of accomplishment. Same as with workout that sometimes was suffering a bit because of lack of free time.

Now I’m back to at least having a day off, so it already feels good to have a day when I can try to catch up with some stuff, what I’m doing right now for example. Hearing from people on my birthday that they like reading my stuff here just motivated me more and made me feel more wrong for lacking free time, which puts more emphasis on proper scheduling too, which I’m going to attempt and experiment with and I can share some current ideas and plans.

My current Fallout 76 grind and its future

Fallout 76 totally requires a “review” from me here too, but I think one post won’t be enough even with my walls of texts if I will go on a rant about some decisions or if I will start talking about some potentially good things to change or implement in the game.

For now I’ll just address my feelings about current state of the game and me farming it a lot on stream and where is it going (still a lot of text and you can skip a chunk of it for sorta tl;dr). Continue reading “My current Fallout 76 grind and its future”

My take on Charity Streams twitter fiesta from week ago

Late with this, since was on vacation and previous post was more important imo, but gonna finish the post that I started before. Not gonna touch the drama part of all that Twitter fiesta, it just escalated far beyond any expectations and one clip out of context and with not very well worded thought started some pop corn worthy fight on Twitter, you can check LSF and all that for drama itself, it already concluded with a lot of apologies btw, which is good, I just gonna post my thoughts on initial statement and all things that it sparked that are not just for the sake of arguing.

Little intro though for those who don’t know – xQc said that most of the streamers are getting paid for their charity streams or participating in one. Obviously it sparked some “how could they” reeing and obviously caused questions so DrLupo posted a statement where he said that he did all his charity streams for free and then fiesta started, that I’m not gonna touch. But let’s talk about the initial statement and discussion about charity streams… Continue reading “My take on Charity Streams twitter fiesta from week ago”

Mental Health. Reckful. Lessons we need to learn

Yesterday we lost a legend – both streaming and gaming. Sad that I didn’t get a chance to meet him IRL, it could happen in Amsterdam this year, because he was going, but then corona ruined that.

This year in general keeps getting worse, but unfortunately behind all the shitty things this year there are mostly our mistakes and failures as humanity, one way or another. We can blame 2020 for all that happened and is still happening and hell there might be more coming too, but we need to realize that behind all that shit there are real problems that we need to address and work on fixing that, otherwise in 6 months we will be blaming 2021 already. Today we will talk about problems that caused yesterday’s tragedy and this will be a long one… Continue reading “Mental Health. Reckful. Lessons we need to learn”

My imqhotbqh on Bloodborne Card Game

Back home from my summer house adventure with friends and one of our main evening activities after some good bbq and while drinking some beer was playing tabletops, or rather playing Bloodborne Card Game mostly, since everyone was curious and it actually turned out really good.

Gonna post some pics this time to help explain some details and show it, should post more pics in general, but in some posts it just feels kinda weird and forced just to put some random pic in. So here we go with “YOU DIED” in tabletop form… Continue reading “My imqhotbqh on Bloodborne Card Game”
