# Hi, I'm Rebecca! Welcome to **Friends of the Forest**! We're a chill, positive, and welcoming community where we play both retro and modern games with a focus on Nintendo! My goal for streaming is to become a clear and confident speaker while having fun playing games. I'm currently a staff writer at [Twinfinite.net](https://twinfinite.net/) and the host of PSVG's [Nintendo Shack Podcast](https://psvg.blog/nintendo-shack). I have a full-time job in education on top of streaming, podcasting and writing. Some other things I enjoy: - Coffee - Taylor Swift - Animals & Nature - Hiking Be sure to [follow me on Twitter](https://twitter.com/forestminish) - that's where I'm most active online! 🌲💚 Partnered on Feb. 26, 2021 💚🌲 Business inquiries: [forestminish@gmail.com](mailto:forestminish@gmail.com)

I hope you choose to chat with me while I play games! If you do, all I ask is that you use your head and follow some basic rules: 🌲 Positive vibes, no hate 🌲 Check title & tags for No Backseating/No Spoilers before backseating/spoiling 🌲 No self-promotion or asking others for a gift sub 🌲 If the streamer or a mod asks you to stop doing something, please stop # **Chat Commands** !twitter • !discord • !freesub !alerts • !merch • !emotes
