Hello! I'm ***Matt***. I've been bumming about in the background of online creators stuff for over a decade now, and I felt like I should probably start doing my own thing. I mainly just rant about politics and social issues, play musical instruments, and gush about things I love. You may know of me from my day job running [Nerd³](https://www.youtube.com/NerdCubed), which I do all the editing and management of! This Twitch is separate from that, but I'm incredibly closely and forever linked. My Twitch is a casual and welcoming space. *Relax, don't worry, chill out*. You owe me nothing, and I owe you nothing! Just be careful not to succumb to parasocial relationships - I'm not your friend, no matter how nice a chat we have on stream. You are welcome here no matter your race, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. You're all welcome here, as long as you’re not a dick. *<3*
