# welcome in (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ you've wandered into a weird little place, but we're happy to have you hang out and vibe ~ there's a lot down here to read if you're feeling bored, but maybe it will help you figure out if this is a place you want to be. # what goes on here? i stream a lot of **first playthroughs of mainly RPGs and retro games**, and preserving these experiences is really important to me! i do my best to immerse myself in the games, and i tend to stubbornly want to figure everything out myself, as if i'm playing with nobody around. but of course we still chat a lot, and my community is the main reason i enjoy streaming so much. i love to hear everyone's personal history & experience with games! when sharing love or dislike of a game, **i do ask that we always keep in mind differences in preference and do not conflate opinion with fact**. outside of gaming, i want to foster a community that values empathy & accountability while discussing a variety of topics with transparency and an open mind. i love to consume and consider other perspectives, and **there's almost nothing i will avoid talking about**. so even tho we spend most of the time playing games and getting goofy, if you're looking for a complete escape from reality, this may not be the space for you 🌻

# i'm jaki (she/they) i like doing silly voices, talking about poop, and overthinking everything. i'm pretty vulgar and pick my nose on cam, but i also have the fluffiest little bunnies on the planet, so it all balances out. my stream is one of the only places i'm comfy enough to just be myself, so it's hard for me to categorize because i am simply existing here. i'm generally pretty low-energy and a self-proclaimed hater of hype, but as a warning, i do sometimes yell if i'm startled or angery. # i'm currently... - playing zelda 2, final fantasy (gba), elden ring, & quest for glory - watching star trek tos, twin peaks, & fruits basket - reading batman, one piece & x-men - editing zelda: ocarina of time
