Hey, I'm Max! I was born in Chicago, raised by Nintendo, molded by Microsoft, and at 13 I was let loose into the World of Warcraft. In 2019 I quit my cushy job and moved with my partner (PiratePromise if you see her in chat) across the Atlantic Ocean to Amsterdam in the Netherlands where I held my first stream. Things took off quickly, and I've been a full-time creator on Twitch and YouTube ever since! Most recently, I moved from Amsterdam to Denver, US and now live nestled into the Rocky Mountains! You'll probably see us move to a new country again in about two years!

We're building a community of positive, supportive, and friendly adult gamers. We celebrate each others' successes and we laugh and learn from our failures. It's important to try our hardest every day and to work together to accomplish success in both gaming and in life. When things get tough, you'll find people here who will listen to and support you through it. Our philosophy: * Treat others with empathy and respect * Be patient, kind, and generous * Value yourself and your personal worth * Always try your hardest * Work as a team and build each other up Business Inquiries Only: business at maxthecatfish dot com

Here we play games that we love, focusing on think-y games that allow us to create and uncover our own stories within the community. Right now, that includes: * Satisfactory * Stellaris * Rimworld * Oxygen Not Included ...and more! Max loves to explore new games too, so you'll find some variety on-stream. Past variety streams include: * The Worst-Rated Games on Steam Stream * Shocktober Horror Fest 2019 and 2020 * Dutch Snacks Tier List Stream And every so often we sit down for some couch co-op goodness. So keep an eye out for streams of Overcooked, Trine, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, and more!
