What motivated you to become a content creator?
What really motivated me to become a content creator was seeing others do it. They were entertaining people and creating bonds with the community that they were building. I realized how much I wanted to do that as well. Being a content creator isn’t just about playing video games; for me it’s about establishing connections with people, building a community, and really just making people smile and laugh. Those are always my goals with every stream I do and every video I make.
What sort of games do you prefer to stream and which ones are you most excited about this year?
I consider myself a variety streamer so I do a bunch of different games ranging from story games to multiplayer games with friends and community members. I love playing games with fun, interesting stories whether they be bigger games like Assassin’s Creed or Skyrim or smaller, indie games like To The Moon. And again, I always do multiplayer games every now and then with friends like Fall Guys, Valorant, and Overwatch and games with community members like Jackbox Games and other party games. Games I’m looking forward to the most are Pokemon Snap, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Goodbye Volcano High, Life is Strange: True Colors, and the new God of War and Perfect Dark games whenever they come out!
What inspired you to make a difference through fundraising?
What inspires me to make a difference through fundraising is the fact that even 5 dollars can make a What inspires me to make a difference through fundraising is the fact that even five dollars can make a difference with any charity organization; even bringing attention to a charity organization can help so much. I think fundraising is a fun and rewarding experience because not only are you helping a charity organization out by fundraising for them; the process of doing it can be such a fun time by making insane incentives for donors and crazy milestones for donation goals. This is why I try to do it a few times a year through my streaming.
What are some of your favorite rewards or incentives you used while fundraising?
When it comes to charity events, I always try to go all out with the incentives. I usually do things like: helium voice, shot of lemon juice, spoon of hot sauce, sour candy, spicy things, and of course the worst of all for me, eating a piece of banana. I HATE bananas! So whenever we fundraise for anything in my stream, I always try to incorporate really fun and even wacky things within it.
