What attracts viewers to a streamer? The particulars of that answer are highly-subjective and vary from one streamer to the next. But in the broadest of terms, viewers carve time out of their schedules to take in the value that the streamer provides. The better a streamer is at understanding their value and delivering on it, the more likely they are to gain and retain the audience that is looking for what they offer.
I’m still working on figuring out my value as a streamer. Besides trying things out on my own to see what works, I’ve taken a keen interest in observing streamers of all sorts. What makes other streamers successful at what they do? Here are a few that have caught my attention and some of my notes on why they succeed!
When my office shifted towards a work-from-home model, it was billed as being a temporary thing. By the beginning of April, when this all blows over, we’ll be back to business as usual.
Two months later, we got an update. Office isn’t opening for another few months. At this point, who knows what the situation will even be by then. Knowing what I know now, I embarked on one more trip to the office to get my things in order to settle into working-from-home life (and pandemic life) for the foreseeable future.
“What if I built my actual streaming room in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?”
The question hit me fairly early on as I uploaded the image of my Toronto Raptors championship banner that adorns my IRL studio. That night, I uploaded a few more images to give my house the “feel” of my basement, such as Link to match the art that Kris and Rachel from Double Jump gave me for Christmas, my Notorious B.I.G photo, and a picture of my best boy Snorlax.
Finally, I went all the way and built out the whole room.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons finally gets its own theme in Tetris 99 and it’s…okay? Besides scoring a few wins, the practice of annualizing games such as the Call of Duty series, and I share some recommendations on board games you should try!

Having just purchased a Humble Bundle, my friend JJ found himself with an extra copy of SteamWorld Dig on the Nintendo 3DS. He was gracious enough to offer me the code. Then I forgot a out it for awhile.
Eventually, I found myself sitting on a train to Montreal with nothing to do. Firing up SteamWorld Dig for the first time, time melted away as I tore through their brilliant take on the Metroidvania genre. As the train pulled into Montreal, I was actually mad that I didn’t have a few extra minutes to wrap things up.
Thus began my love affair with Image & Form, the brilliant minds behind the SteamWorld series.
Loosely inspired by Wario’s Woods, Treasure Stack is an indie puzzle game that’s quite stressful!
Spread out the drop cloth. Cut the Bristol board. Brush the dust off the cans. It’s spray painting season!
Here’s a recap of everything that went down during Steff and I’s first session of the year.
Though I’ve been pining for Haley for weeks now, we’ve made inroads with someone else in ways that I didn’t expect. Besides that, we partake in our first egg festival, discuss our issues with using social media, and geek out over the return of the Tony Hawk series!
