During a recent Tetris 99 stream, we had a spirited discussion about how to improve as a streamer on Twitch. There was enough interesting conversation from that stream that I felt it was best to break out those clips into a separate post!

Tetris 99 and Streaming Advice
Looking to start streaming? One viewer asks me for advice, which sparks a big discussion about how to be a better streamer! We also talk a bit about the new Elton John movie, games to play on vacation, and a bit of Wii show and tell! Also, a few Tetris 99 wins and one of my craziest close calls yet!
Highlights
There were a lot of great clips that came out of our streaming advice chat. I’ll break those out into a separate post! For now, here’s a few highlights from the stream!

The Elgato Stream Deck XL Features 32 Buttons and I Want One So Bad
I love my original Elgato Stream Deck. It may just look like a set of buttons, but being able to program each one with a growing set of functions has streamlined my experience so much. From being able to quickly trigger the airhorn sound that starts every stream, to switching between overlays, to running elaborate game shows on Boss Rush, I can easily perform all of these functions and more without breaking the flow of the show.
If I had one wish, it would be for the Stream Deck to have more buttons. While you do get the option of adding folders to the mix, my default setup uses more than the 15 buttons available. In particular, Boss Rush can require upwards of 60 (!) buttons, making it a hassle at times to fish between folders for certain functions.
Elgato heard me. The new Stream Deck XL is out now, with a whopping 32 buttons. It’s not quite 60, but it’s more than what you’d get from running up two regular Stream Decks at once.
Overwatch and Bad Guitar Playing
Randy and Jenna join me for a few games of Overwatch before we end the stream with a few life stories and some awful guitar playing! Also, Skittles are all the same flavour!
