Hey, I'm **InaBeta** ("EYE-nuh Bay-tuh"; just Beta is fine too). We play a lot of strategy and story driven games here; mainly Slay the Spire A20 runs. I also have an academic background in neuroscience and speech-language pathology and love all things brain, so that comes up in chat sometimes too! We're live between 5 and 6 PDT Tuesday through Friday, and sometimes earlier on Saturdays. What you'll find here: - Strategy and story-driven gaming - Puns, jokes, conversation and lulz - Twitch's fattest cat (named Fats); bits, subs, and tips give him treats! What you won't find here: - MOBAs, BRs, Fighting games, etc. - Vitriol - Waldo, Carmen San Diego, Blue, etc. They aren't here, please look elsewhere!! We'd love to hear from you in chat, so feel free to share or ask us whatever you feel; we'll probably answer as long as it jives with chat rules! If not, lurk strong friend!

1. Give Fats a treat! 2. The best emotes on Twitch! 3. Stronger stats when you join a Treat Questᵀᴹ 4. Add a custom shoutout when you enter chat! 5. Add jokes to the joke book in chat (!addjoke) 6. Access to sub-only area of the Discord server! 7. Be added to our sub map! (whisper Beta with location info) 8. Unlock the ability to add a command to the chatbot with your channel currency! 9. Our utmost appreciation for your generosity!

**What is your background in neuroscience?** - I have undergraduate as well as graduate coursework in the subject, no work experience, much to my dismay. **How old is Fats?!?** - The best boi is 15! **When do you talk about neuroscience!?** - Well, whenever you want really, just ask a question! We don't make neuro content here anymore, unfortunately. Neuro questions are literally always ok though! **Have you played ____ before on stream?** - Just enter !played in chat to see what Beta has streamed! **Are you tired? You look tired.** - Probably not! It's more likely that I'm depressed at the moment. I've had chronic depression for over 20 years, it comes and goes. Thank you for you patience! **Why do you stop talking mid-sentence sometimes?** - I have some word-finding issues where I can't think of the word I want to say. It happens more often that you might expect, but only takes me a few seconds to get back on track. Thanks for waiting!

1. Supplements/nootropics are garbage; just know that. 2. We can talk about most anything else here as long as it follows stated rules and resulting discussion is civil, growth-oriented and you can agree to disagree. 3. Ask before posting links outside of channel clips unless you're a subscriber. 4. Backseating is fine; let's learn together! Spoiling (e.g., talking about things that haven't happened in the game yet) is never ok! 5. No hate or putdowns; keep it classy, respectful, and collaborative!
