4yrs ago me and a few streamers took over PC Gamer's Twitch Channel for 2 weeks!
I've been streaming since 2014 and recently took a break in 2023. It's about to be 2025 and I think it's time to get back to it.

This is kinda wild. I posted about a speaking engagement on Friday. Turns out the organizer is known for fraud. Apparently, he started a company prior to this one and it was a mess. It was a bit weird speaking to the people working with him because they're all interns 😳. I tell you hwhat 😒
