# I'm Escapepods, but my friends call me Pods. You can call me Escapepods, though. I'm old. I have produced offspring. I've had a long-term relationships lasting probably longer than your life. I was rich, I was poor, and once I killed a bear with my bare hands. His name was Bill the Bear, and it was either me or him. Bill accepted my challenge to single combat, and I emerged victorious. To honor his self-sacrifice, I agreed to mention his name as an epitaph of dedication here on my channel. **The bear part isn't true, but it looks cool, so I'll leave it here.** Feel free to be yourself. Just as long as you don't bother me or anyone else in the process. I'm a pretty easygoing person. Most of the people who frequent the stream are also easy-going. Take the time to make friends and talk amongst yourselves.

1. Racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, fanaticism, fundamentalist nonsense, politics, gatherings in the champagne room, Ford lovers, sofa scientists or aardvarks are prohibited. 2. Experience shows that people who share their political insight end up badly. Keep it away from the chat. It's not C-Span, and your political science degree is fake. 3. This is a stream for 18+, and more than 18 topics are proposed, discussed and displayed in the stream and in the chat. People under the age of 18 participating in the broadcast will be banned immediately, regardless of their status. 4. Insulting another streamer explicitly or by hints will lead to an immediate ban. 5. I created the stream to have fun, not to make money. If you're not having fun, then I'm not having fun. I think it would be better if we saw other people. Turn the dial. # Chat commands The bot is currently in overhaul status. A list of commands will be provided once I have cool commands.

# If you feel like giving me your money, I would ask you to do the following instead: 1. **Give cash to someone who needs it.** Options include the homeless, people affected by poverty, or anyone you think they could really be useful to. Or... 2. **Save your money and make someone's day better.** It can be as simple as making them smile or laugh. One of my daily goals is to make someone laugh. Or... 3. **Take time to think about who you are and what you bring to society.** Think about your strengths and weaknesses. Think about your own mental health and how it affects others, and then use this understanding to become a better version of yourself. Or... 4. **Do all of the above and become a source of hope for the rest of society.** The world needs more leaders, and that's where it all starts.

# I'm probably one of the most inconsistent streamers on the platform. ADHD, life, and internet connection dictate when I can stream. Sorry, bud.

Nobody cares. It's a Ryzen. It has a lot of RAM. It has an RTX 2080ti installed. I never turn it off. There are 2x27-inch displays running at 1440p resolution. If you're really reading this, then you're a legend.
