**[Follow Reesha on Twitter](https://twitter.com/ReeshaDovahSil)** for streaming announcements, YouTube upload announcements, gaming video Likes, and the occasional insightful (or not) comment. Twitch's e-mail and app streaming notifications are far from perfect. ##Twitter is the one place you can be assured *I* will announce that I am streaming even if Twitch fails to.

#Swear freely, but follow [Wheaton's Law](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wheatons-law)! > ##Wheaton's Law: **Don't be a dick.** This bullshit: - Sexism - Racism - Heterosexism (homophobic slurs, i.e."gay" as an insult) - Ableism (i.e. misusing the term "retarded") - Spamming (i.e. links, ASCII art, copypasta) - Personal attacks on others in chat - Explicit sexual comments - Support of rape culture (say ass-kicking, REKT, or PWND, not "raped") - Harassment (of broadcaster or viewers) - Threats of violence is all grounds for **immediate permanent ban without warning**! #Do not argue with mod purges. Arguing with mods for purging you for breaking any of the above rules is the fast track to a permanent ban. #Do not spoil or backseat game! Blind LPs are no longer blind if you spoil what could happen or provide pro-tips/backseat game). #But what IS a pro-tip? #And what is backseat gaming? ##Basically: - Don't give instruction to defeat an enemy, find loot, solve puzzles, win battles, etc. - Don't reveal what mob is about to show up. - Don't reveal the loot that's about to (or could) be found. - Don't reveal if the current tactic or previously tried tactics are known to succeed/fail. - Don't reveal uncovered character backstory. - Don't reveal character future-story. Blind playthroughs are about *discovery* and the *joy of discovery*. When you spoil/backseat, you rob the player AND the rest of the viewers of that joy. Don't be a meanie panini! ಠ_ಠ If someone isn't using your favourite tactic or build, that just means they don't play the exact same way you play. How boring would it be if every streamer out there played games *precisely* the way you do? Celebrate variation! Yay! When help is wanted, Reesha will ask a specific and carefully phrased question. This is a rare occurrence and it will be very clear what's happening. Then? It's a free-for-all! #Don't make overly flirtatious or gross comments. There is a thin line between teasing and creepy, and the anonymity of the internet makes it even thinner. O_o If you would punch someone in the face for saying it to your sister, the other viewers probably won't want to read it, and neither will Reesha. Let's just be friends, eh?

#During livestreams, Reesha *will*: - Swear effusively. - Drink a beer. - Scream, shriek, growl, shout, & squeal. (Use the volume control!) - Laugh or fake-cry hysterically. Sometimes for no discernible reason. Often upon dying. - Pause regularly to catch up on the chat & respond to most everything. - Utterly ignore sometimes great advice in favour of doing whatever she wants, including... - ...using or wearing weak/useless items because she thinks they're pretty. - Converse with NPCs as if they are real. - Invent arbitrary rules she insists the NPCs follow. - Refer to almost nothing by its real name and... - ...make up names instead which might make sense only to her. - Get completely lost in the world approximately once per minute. - Suck at reading maps. - Suck at recognizing places she's already been. - Consistently have obscene amounts of fun no matter what happens! ＼（＾▽＾）／

#There are Moobot commands available to all users in chat. ##Here is a list of those commands and what they will do: **!uptime** will tell you how long the stream has been live. **!gldd** will place in chat "Good luck; don't die." **!noambush** will place in chat the chant noambush noambush noambush noambush noambush **!yesambush** will place in chat the chant Ambush! Ambush! Ambush! Ambush! [how could you?! ;_; ] **!roulette** to play a game of chance that you might or might not survive! **!8ball [your question]** to get have your question answered by the miraculous 8ball! **!love [item/person1 and item/person2]** to see how much of a love meter match you can generate! (Use the full username if you're targeting a person in chat, including your own. You can add as many items/people to your match as you like just by using "and" in between each item/person.)

**[Subscribe to Reesha's YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/ReeshaDovahSil)** for vlogs, Let's Play videos, announcements, and other bits & bobs. There are unfinished non-streamed role-playing Let's Plays available for *Skyrim* and *Dragon Age: Origins*, *Portal 2* co-op LP with The Mysterious V!, episodes of stream-only games, vlogs, and other random stuffs over there.

There is no schedule. My job is... intense. Sometimes I don't stream for weeks, other times I'll stream two days in a row out of nowhere. I can stream during the week, but times/days are random. Here are some general guidelines: I'm on Eastern Time (EST/EDT) & have a day job that is far from my house. 2 to 5 days a week I to travel there (can't possibly stream), some days I work from home (*might* be able to stream), and which days are which changes every week. Times I *could possibly* stream are: - Mon.-Fri. between 5:30PM & 10PM - Sat. & Sun. (usually not before 11AM) - Holidays that I have off work Livestreams last as long as I'm feelin' it: from 2 hours to 12 hours and anywhere in between. I generally won't stream if one of my 2 favourite streamers is live: [Sm4llz](http://www.twitch.tv/sm4llz/profile/past_broadcasts) or [gixG17](http://www.twitch.tv/gixg17/profile/past_broadcasts).

**Tips are used toward gaming equipment when needed, and otherwise for life expenses. Generous viewers have already funded: Fixing/upgrading gaming rig, SSDs, comfy chair, additional monitor, new games to stream, monthly internet, rent, and delicious, delicious beer.** - *CPU goal reached!* - *Motherboard goal reached!* - *Water cooling goal reached!* - *Computer case goal reached!* - *500GB SSD (for games) reached!* - *Computer chair goal reached!* - *Izzy's vet bills goal reached!* **Top supporters:** - The Quiet Man (as anon) - Anonymouses (you know who you are!) - QuadAwesome - Butane45 - Robzig214 **WOW! Thank you SO MUCH! (｡♥‿♥｡)** Tips are pretty amazing things to do, but the #1 bestest thing that you can do to support the stream is to be active in chat! I love talking to y'all; that's why I do this silly stuff. ^__^ If you want to leave a tip, click the red "Tip Reesha!" button above, make sure you're A-OK with the TOS on the tipping page, and be sure to leave a cute note to be read on-stream in a very srs robot voice. If you can't tip, or you don't want to, no worries! My day job keeps me going just fine, and tips will **never** be required to keep me streaming. I will continue to stream as much as I can regardless of ever being tipped or not because I like hanging out with you! ♡

#All the things you never wanted to know about me: **What games do you livestream?** + *The Forest* + *Don't Starve* + *We Need to Go Deeper* + *Darkest Dungeon* + *Rocket League* + *Skyrim* + *Necropolis* + *XCOM: Enemy Unknown* + *Jackbox Party Pack 3* + *Jackbox Party Pack 4* + *Dark Souls* + *Hieroglyphika* + *BioShock* (1st game completed) + *Papers, Please* + *Cook, Serve, Delicious* + *Cook, Serve, Delicious 2* + *Hearthstone* + *Divinity: Original Sin* + *Wasteland 2* + *Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes* + *Left 4 Dead 2* + *Portal 2* + *Fallout* (1) + *Amnesia: The Dark Descent* + *Super Mario Bros.* (1 and 3) + *Kirby's Adventure* + *Guild Wars 2* + *Baldur's Gate* (1) + *I am Bread* **Will your streamed videos go on your YouTube channel?** Sort of. I began exporting my "Highlights" to YouTube as various Let's Play series. This would go much faster if the feature actually worked properly, but it doesn't, so this is happening very slowly, and often not at all. **Why are you using a controller?** Because I suck at using a keyboard and mouse. I do use kb/m but only when I really have to (ESO, DAO, GW2, etc.). **How long have you been playing video games?** Since I was 6. But with a non-gaming gap of about 10 years somewhere in the middle. **What does your name mean?** Reesha Dovah-Sil (REE-shah DOH-vah SEEL) is the name of my first LP character, for Skyrim. Dovah-Sil is from the dragon language of The Elder Scrolls and it translates as "dragon-soul." The "Sil" is pronounced with a long E like "seal" not a short I like a windowsill. Said with the correct Dragontongue accent, there is also a very a slight "th" sound at the very end. But don't worry about all that: You can just call me Reesha! ^_^ (Reesha is a Gujarati name that means, "Sanity." Ironic, isn't it?) **How old are you?** So old. Ancient. Probably much older than you. **How tall are you?** I'm not. I'm 5'1". All of my top shelves are empty. It's a sad existence. **Do you know you look like Elliot Page and/or Maggie Grace?** I'm trying, but I just don't see it, man. Sorry. (And those two people look nothing alike, so how is that even *possible*?) **Where do you live?** I'm on the East Coast of the U.S.A. **No, but where** *specifically* **do you live?** ... Dude. O_o **Why are you so damn secretive?** I'm an open book in terms of emotions, experiences, and opinions. There are just a few dry facts I will not reveal about myself on-stream: My full real name, the exact nature of my job, the state/city I live in, & the year I was born/my age. Why? Because this is personally-identifiable information that can leave a person wide open to hacking, harassment, and stalking. It isn't a matter of being "secretive." These few bland facts will tell you nothing about me as a person, but they *could* lead an unsavoury individual right to my front door in the real world. My refusal to reveal certain data is safe and smart, not standoffish. **Where's that cat who was always interrupting?** Hey, look! There's another FAQ about that subject just over there! *If you think I've missed something, feel free to Tweet me, message me, or ask it in the next stream.*

#All the things you never wanted to know about my cat: **Where is she?** She passed away on May 16 2017. **What was her name?** Izzy. **What kind of cat was she?** A standard domestic shorthair. Her colouring was a mixture of Tortoiseshell and Mackerel (or Calico/Tiger, depending who you ask). **How old was she?** 18. **How long did you have her?** Almost 3 years. **Why would you adopt a senior cat?** Because they are sweet and beautiful and deserve to live somewhere nice in their old age! Maybe you should think about getting one, too. **Why a cat? Why not a dog?** I'd like a dog, but my lease only allows for 1 cat. That said, I love cats, too! Also bats. And ferrets. And bunnies. And snakes. And... **Was she sick?** At the end, yes. Izzy had Chronic Kidney Disease, or CKD. With fluids, meds, syringe feedings, and regular bloodwork, she was kept comfortable for a time, but it couldn't last forever. I can't complain about getting nearly 3 years in her perfect presence. **How will she complete her world domination plans now?** Izzy is absorbing supernatural powers on the other side. Be ready for her return, for it will be both wondrous and terrible.
