Hey there! Thanks so much for checking out my channel - I hope you watch for a bit and follow if you're interested in watching again. I’m the Average Deku, but you can call me Joe. My goal with Twitch is to provide my viewers with a fun, accepting, and entertaining community. I love when viewers interact in the chat (although we love the lurkers, too). I live in Pennsylvania with my wife (Melissa) and two young children and have been streaming since January 2021. I love all video games, but especially Nintendo - that’s most of what you’ll find here. Whether it’s Zelda, Pokemon, Mario, or any other game, I hope you’ll join in on the fun! I'm always open to new games, so if there's something you want to watch me play, let me know! Please consider following to learn about future streams & help my channel grow!

Discord is the place where our community grows while the camera isn't on. It's where I keep everyone updated and get to know each of you a bit better. There are also fun spaces to talk, chat, and learn. Follow this link to join: https://discord.gg/XEQ3D6hfXY

Make sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel, where I upload some of what we do on Twitch and release exclusive content that doesn't fit the Twitch model. My channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRD_ndvRr-KTpvLm8MZnfcQ

I typically stream 3-4 times per week: - Sunday | Mario - Monday | Zelda - Wednesday | Pokemon - Friday | Variety (w/ my wife) I usually go live at around 8:00pm EST. If my schedule is ever disrupted by a new game release or the chaos of life, I'll update everyone on Discord. Make sure to join!

Even if you're new to the channel, I want you to be experience the full history of the AverageDeku community! Because Twitch only keeps my VODs for so long, every one of my streams is eventually backed up to my Youtube Channel. You can click the image above to be taken straight to the archive! You can also see the full unlisted playlist by viewing all playlists on my Youtube channel! Link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNM5xG1s9BPb0XLGdUPUMyIJpI6Bl-kiE

Want to keep in touch between the streams? Make sure to follow on Twitter! I tweet about video games, sports, pop culture, and pretty much anything else that interests me! Twitter is also the best way to stay in the loop when it comes to bonus streams or changes in my streaming schedule. Link to Follow: www.twitter.com/AverageDeku
