# WHO IS THIS KIPP GUY? Hello! :D I'm Kipp, a Belgian hippo lad that's hoping to make you smile today! You might know me as that video editor for various Twitch streamers or CallMeKevin on Youtube! Personally I still really struggle with streaming because of social anxiety issues, but this is why I decided to start, to hopefully overcome these, so please be respectful if I'm a bit nervous at times! # I'M NEW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY IN YOUR CHAT, WHAT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION STARTER? I am absolutely OBSESSED with four things! - Back To The Future - Space / The universe - Hippopotamuses - Dinosaurs If you're nervous but want to talk, feel free to bring up any of these four topics and I'll chat your ears off! But most importantly... # _Lurkers are completely valid and absolutely appreciated, don't feel like you HAVE to talk! You're still part of the family either way! <3_

# WHEN DOES KIPP GO LIVE? Every Sunday, 2 PM - 4 PM CET # WHAT ARE THE RULES? The rules are pretty straightforward! - Just be a nice person and you'll be okay! - When it comes to backseating, please don't tell me what to do. If you never played the game and want to give a suggestion, that's fine, but please don't tell me the solution for something as I play games for the satisfaction on figuring things out! - Loving hippos is *MANDATORY!*

# WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY DOING ON STREAM? Currently I'm doing a challenge run in Pokémon Heart Gold, a Randomizer Nuzlocke with a twist to make it even harder! I want to find out what it's like to just be a normal Pokémon trainer like anyone else in the game, so I added a rule to make me equal in pretty much every fight! Undoubtedly I'll have to restart and I might tweak rules along the way to make it fun but doable! - I can only catch the first Pokémon I encounter in every individual zone - If a Pokémon in my party faints, it's lost forever - If I wipe, I have to start over completely - I can not level up my Pokémon's party unless I specifically beat a higher level Pokémon, for example, I start with a level 5 Pokemon, all of my Pokemon I catch will also be level 5, and I can't level it up until I beat a level 6 trainer Pokémon! - Gym leaders and the Rival give me one guaranteed level up, here the "highest Pokemon" does not count - I cannot use Legendaries, unless I have no other choice (running out of other Pokemon), although I'll allow myself to go all out with Legendaries if I can reach the Elite Four / Red! These are not official rules, so I don't count it as an official challenge run, I just made up these rules myself to make it personalized, challenging but fun, as I am aware I'm not the best player out there! :) If you are an experienced challenge runner, please refrain from telling me strategies in the chat, the whole reason I do this is to get a certain satisfaction when I overcome an obstacle! If you are just as inexperienced as me, feel free to leave suggestions, because I do love the idea that we overcome the challenge together! :D

# YOU CAN PRESS THE BUTTON ABOVE TO SEND ME A DONATION! Lately I've getting hit HARD by a lot of big, unexpected bills, to the point where I've been under a lot of financial stress, so I have decided to bring back the donation button! Please know that there's absolutely no obligation involved though, even without tipping, I'll be fine! # WHERE WILL THE DONATIONS GO TOWARDS? For full transparency, I currently have an income through my full time job as a video editor for content creators, but with my current situation I can only use this for my necessities, so whichever I get here would be my budget to "treat myself", so if you'd like to get me a treat, the option is here! Thank you! <3
