Hey hi I'm michakes! (she/her) I'm a USAmerican living in the Netherlands, formerly Poland. Please enjoy the stream and its many swear words. And cats. Business inquiries can be directed to [michakestv@gmail.com](mailto:michakestv@gmail.com "mailto:michakestv@gmail.com") # Chat Rules Chat is a huge part of this stream, and I am typically open to talking about a lot of topics. That being said, here are things to keep in mind: **THIS IS AN 18+ STREAM.** + Be respectful to me, as well as to your fellow chatters and to yourselves. + Absolutely no racist, sexist, homophobic, discriminatory, xenophobic, bigoted, or otherwise inappropriate comments or language. This applies to usernames too. If your name is gross you're out. + Please keep chat in English to the best of your ability! + Do not mention view count, and do not reference "mod-only" information that you may have access to due to use of a 3rd party extension (i.e. "first time chatter" status, mod actions, etc.) + No advertisement of any kind. This includes self promotion as well as seemingly offhand comments like "Okay bye I have to go stream!" or "I'm gonna go watch -other streamer- now." + Don't backseat. I prefer to figure things out on my own. If I am asking questions about a game, do not answer them. **If I want help from chat** I will say "poptart" and chat will be welcome to answer my question! + Don't spoil. + Don't be a dick. Violation of these rules can result in warnings, timeouts, or outright bans. The moderators and streamer also reserve the right to protect this space and may take action when necessary even if none of the rules have been "broken."

If you like what I do, consider [subscribing!](https://www.twitch.tv/subs/michakes "Subscribe here!") You get access to my subscriber emotes and also I will love you.

I'm really annoying online.
