Twitch

I have been streaming on Twitch for over 2.5 years, though I took a six-month hiatus starting in January 2023 when I got burned out. Before my hiatus, I was focused on gaming, specifically on Nintendo. My biggest on-stream project was trying to get 100% completion of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, though I went on hiatus when I was around 80% done and ended up finishing the run off stream. As mentioned under the Zelda section of Gaming, I lost my 100% save file when I got a Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch. I am streaming another 100% run to get a completed save back, and I will be doing 100% runs of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom as well.

Now that I have returned from my hiatus, my stream is much more focused on music. I stream playing piano significantly more than I used to, and I occasionally do other music related streams as well. I am also creating a Pokémon fan game. This is a project that has been on and off since before the Covid pandemic for various different reasons, so whether or not I am even working on it, regardless of if I am streaming the process, is always up in the air.

Here is an old channel trailer:

I have also been using what I've learned in my web develoment degree (plus some extra research) to code a few basic Twitch chat integrations. There are a few different integrations available to use. Follow the link below to access OBS browser source link generators and instructions for all the integrations.

YouTube

There is not much on YouTube right now, and I don't have really any plans for it. However, that does not mean nothing is happening at all. Every Twitch VOD is on my VOD channel, and as such, that is easily my most active channel. The "main" channel currently has nothing on it and I honestly have no idea what I will do with that channel. All of my channels are linked below as well as to each other on their pages.

My other channel is my music channel. This is my channel to put recordings of me playing piano that are higher quality than what will be encountered on my stream. While the music is nice on stream, I can't always play the pieces as well as I possibly could. I can very much still play them, just not necessarily at my absolute best. On YouTube, I am playing on a real piano with good lighting, a nice lighting and microphone setup, and multiple camera angles. I also have a higher standard for my level of playing than I do for Twitch streams. The one thing to keep in mind is that while I do have very simple and obvious goals for the channel, being to upload nice recordings of me playing, I am bad about actually getting said recordings actually done to be able to upload, so don't expect frequent uploads in the slightest.

Discord

I do have a Discord server as well! That is where you can get extra updates about when I go live on Twitch as well as when videos get uploaded on either the main YouTube channel or the music channel. There is also a ticket system where you can submit a support ticket to receive tech support for anything related to streaming.
