Q: When do you stream? A: I stream Tuesdays 7pm - 10pm Thursdays 7pm - 10pm Fridays 7pm - 10pm Depending on scheduling, I may do bonus streams or start earlier. Q: What type of Bard are you? A: I am a storyteller, curator, and caretaker. I have a love for horror and try my best to find the perfect horror movie suggestion for each new follower and subscriber. Q: What are streams like? A: Cozy horror with a splash of chaos. I play a variety of games, but they are mostly vehicles to help tell start conversations. Whether it's with a guest or with you in the chat, I want to hear your stories. Q: What is The Yard? A: The Yard is where you are as a follower! The Yard is a beautifully wide and green place full of trees and grass for as far as you can see. The Yard is far away from the stresses of technology and responsibility. And you're not trapped here. You can leave anytime you want! You just have to find the exit. (Disclaimer: currently no one has found the exit) Q: What kind of games do you play? A: I have a tendency to lean towards horror and indie games. I also love playing Magic Arena and building decks with chats help or suggestions. We tend to keep things relaxed in even the most stressful of games by listening to smooth jazz. Q: Why are there ghosts? A: Ghosts are as much apart of the Yard as you or I, and they have stories to tell. You can find out if you're a ghost by typing !amidead in the chat. Q: Why does everyone keep saying egg to every question? A: We occasionally will play I-Spy or ask horror trivia questions in the chat. For some reason, chat has decided the answer to everything is some variation of egg. I keep telling them it's not egg, but they don't listen to me. But it's fine. It's fine. Q:What is your favorite scary movie? A: My favorite scary movie is The Ritual. It is an absolutely beautiful movie. The Ritual uses grief and trauma and mixes it with a well hidden monster throughout. Other recommendations are The Void, 12 Hour Shift, Sissy, and The Vast of Night. Q: Will I get scared by your stream? A: No. I prefer to use elements of unsettling horror rather than jump scares. But if there is something you don't enjoy or find genuinely scary, please let myself or my mods know.
