    Q&A: “When should I start my Patreon?”
    September 6, 2017

    A couple weeks ago I had a friend approach me and ask me if I had any thoughts about him creating a Patreon. He told me I should consider making a blog out of my answer to him, so here goes. Patreon is a complex platform because on the surface it seems like a no-brainer. […]

  • Budgeting as a content creator, streamer, or contractor

    Budgeting as a content creator, streamer, or contractor
    August 30, 2017

    I’m going to go a bit boring for this week’s blog and talk a little bit about budgeting, and why it’s important as a streamer, vlogger or content creator. As a precaution: this post doesn’t constitute legal financial advice, and I’m not responsible for anything you do as a person. Read, educate yourself on personal […]

  • Voiding warranties and modding a Wii U

    August 23, 2017

    This week, I decided to undertake a project and hack my Wii U. I didn’t really need to; there isn’t really any reason beyond a few tweaks and piracy. To the latter point, I’m at the stage of my life where I can afford paying for my games.

    The Nintendo Switch and the fallacy of sunk costs
    August 16, 2017

    I was worried when I bought my Switch. I got burned by my purchase of the WiiU, which I had primary gotten to play Super Mario Maker and potentially stream it. I kind of fell into a trap I’ve become more cognisant of lately: the “gotta play with friends while the game is still hot” […]

    Valve’s Artifact, and what it needs to get right
    August 9, 2017

    Yesterday when I was watching The International’s broadcast, something perked my ears up. Valve announced that they were revealing a new game, right then and there.

  • Training, execution, and mindfulness

    Training, execution, and mindfulness
    August 2, 2017

    I have a hard time being present. It sounds simple enough: focusing and engaging with the moment in front of you. My biggest distraction there is thinking about what’s down the road, and the consequences of wrong choices. This is pretty much the foundation of my anxiety and a lot of my mental health issues.

  • The pro wrestling entrance, and what esports can learn from it

    The pro wrestling entrance, and what esports can learn from it
    July 26, 2017

    Over the past year I’ve gotten more comfortable with my fandom for pro wrestling because of a couple reasons; the most prominent is that it introduced a love of pageantry and storytelling that I didn’t know that I had. For the uninitiated, almost all of pro wrestling is pre-determined. Depending on the performers, each match […]

    Lost in the plot : streaming story-based games
    July 17, 2017

    The last few months of my stream have mainly moved away from anything competitive; I’ve been playing games that I’ve been meaning to cross off my list for one reason or another, and the idea (like many people will tell you) is to play while focusing on my enjoyment.

    To 3220 and back – an update to my Dota 2 journey
    May 5, 2017

    Despite not making it “a project” for the last little while, I’ve still been playing Ranked Dota 2. My mindset is starting to shift in that I haven’t been entirely tilted by my performance or MMR (matchmaking rank) number, because by playing with my friends I’ve been able to see a marked improvement in how […]

    Making a list: Dota 2 Support heroes
    March 7, 2017

    The last little bit of my Dota career has been frustrating; I seem to be hovering around the same MMR without any improvement, and no real consistent growth that moves me forward. I’ve come to the conclusion that this is my own fault, as I haven’t been setting concrete goals. Before, with BetterDota (my previous […]
