Muahaha! Welcome to the Hawkbar Space Lab! Say hello to my android assistant Lua on the way in and grab a spinny office chair! I'm Hawkbar, a software engineer by day and techie experimenter by night. Most of my little hobby projects are gaming-related, such as my Heccin Cheers Bot Twitch overlay, Kor tabletop RPG platform, or a variety of game prototypes in various stages of completion. I mostly play RPGs and sci-fi titles, and I love delving into game design philosophy and the psychology of gamer behavior. Feel free to start discussions in chat about whatever you like! No topic is off-limits as long as you're respectful to myself and your fellow viewers.

The rules are simple: 1. No breaking Twitch ToS. 2. It's my stream, so if I'm overly uncomfortable with something you've done or said, or I think others in chat are, I'll let you know. 3. If you're combative or ignore me when I ask you to stop or change your behavior, I'll timeout or ban you. That's it. Profanity, crude humor, 'taboo' topics like religion or politics, go for it-- just be prepared to stop if I ask you to.

I created a Twitch overlay system that allows you to trigger things with channel points! You might have seen [girl_dm_](https://twitch.tv/girl_dm_) use it to count headpats on her stream. The bot is less useful now that other platforms have started supporting channel point rewards as triggers, but if you're interested in using the Cheers Bot for your own channel, message me on Twitter at [@HawkbarGaming](https://twitter.com/HawkbarGaming/) and I'll be happy to help you set it up!

Nerd, Hype, and Yandere emotes by the excellent ghost [NonoGry](https://www.twitch.tv/nonogry)! Go give him a follow. Cheersy (Cheer) emote by the wonderful [LurkerFox](https://www.twitch.tv/thelurkerfox)! Show her some love! Default stream starting music is "2ndBallad" by [Deceased Superior Technician](http://nosoapradio.us/). Other starting music is available on request! 3D environments, overlay, models, etc. all made by me.
