When did you start streaming?

It was late 2017.

What made you decide to start your own streaming channel?

Got more serious and started streaming more in 2018.

Do you work outside your streaming channel?

I currently work unpaid as a home carer since 2021.

What was the turning point for you that made you realize you could make money and possibly make a living out of streaming?

Not the fact that l was going to really make a living, but the fact that l was enjoying it. When l had good running playing endless hours of Assassins Creed Odyssey. And it’s been more convenient in tough times as threshold on Twitch is lower as before, when we had to wait to hit $100 to cash. When l first started, I helped have my children have pocket money or support bills as seem fit, which I still do today as a single father of two.

Who are your biggest inspirations in the streamer community?

Bajo because of original creativity and being funny, Loserfruit inspires me because of her authenticity, positivity, and dedication to her craft, which resonate with her audience and encourage others to pursue their passions with enthusiasm and perseverance. Like some of my first creators l followed on Twitch.

What type of games do you like to stream?

I feature a variety of games on my channels. Here are some of the games you can find:

1. Fortnite: As a Fortnite Creator and an Epic Partner, I dive into the battle royale action, showcase gameplay, and share tips and tricks.
2. PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds): as a PUBG Partner, I am deeply involved in the PUBG community. You’ll find intense gunfights, strategic plays, and exciting moments from my streams.
3. Various Ubisoft Games: Especially Assassin’s Creed Franchise
4. Other Games: Various smaller games from Developers. While Fortnite and PUBG are prominent, l explore other games as well.

Did any game surprise you during a livestream? For better or for worse?

During a livestream of The Chant, I was pleasantly surprised by its unique blend of atmospheric storytelling and immersive gameplay mechanics. The game’s eerie atmosphere and compelling narrative drew me in from the start, keeping both myself and my viewers captivated throughout the stream. Additionally, The Chant‘s haunting soundtrack and intricate world-building added depth to the experience, creating memorable moments and sparking engaging discussions among my audience.

However, it is important to note that individual experiences with games can vary. While The Chant was a positive surprise for me, others may have different opinions based on their preferences and expectations.

What was the funnier, most entertaining game you have ever played on your channel?

I would say Assassins Creed Odyssey as I Platinum it on Live stream after 390 hours on PlayStation.

What would you think is your greatest achievement as a streamer? Both personally and/or professionally?

Achieved a lot for small to medium streamer. l’m an Aussie variety content creator and influencer. I stream games like Fortnite, PUBG, and more on Twitch.

Beyond gaming, I’m a home carer and a Christian.

What were your biggest mistakes when you started streaming?

Joining Teams and larger Community groups in initial stages but in past year going into 2^nd as now l’m in PUBG partner team, more specific to my gaming enjoyments and Ubisoft ANZ Partner Program.

Do you feel pressured (or ever felt pressured) to deliver content to your followers? If yes, how did you manage to balance that and still be able to continue?

I have also stuck to my own opinions and always maintain the feeling that I’ll never be able please everyone, although l keep too few main games with change up over the years. But never really followed larger community with AAA games so forth.

Have you ever thought about quitting streaming? If yes, what made you keep going?

Not necessarily stop, but having a break like a month helps to refresh.

How do you deal with trolls and haters during your live streams and on your social networks?

One or two ways: go with the flow and do not overreact, have good mods that are regularly around but what’s easier is that l have streaming bots set up with ban words and phrases. Now on Twitch it’s quite simple to turn on Shield Mode. There are some harmless ones but also there are some extreme mean ones as well, I treat them all with a serious but open-minded approach.
