Ex-pat Kiwi, Hobby mechanic, cook and general noise-maker :)
I like to play (and used to speedrun) old school RPGs, Racing games, etc. and when I get the time, hit up some new-school VR titles on the Vive.
I also work with cars as a side-hobby - helps to pass the time productively! :)
I started this stream back in 2013 as a way to record speedruns for Game Boy games as it was a requirement back then. Over the few years, the channel saw a revival, thanks in no small part to the awesome Final Fantasy Speedrunning community that exists here on Twitch! (shoutouts to you all!!!) however as time progresses, things have shifted to a more casual manner, doing what I can, when I can :)
I don't really have a whole lot of hard and fast 'rules' per say, more a set of guidelines:
- Any kind of racist/mysogenistic/hate talk will not be tolerated.
- No gratuitous self-promotion. While there is nothing wrong with answering questions/posting your own emotes in the channel, coming in and simply trumpeting your own channel is not cool.
- No selling/marketing! (unless its me being a filthy sellout LUL)
- Links are permitted, but spamming them is not.
Generally speaking, don't be a dick and you'll be fine!
Oh, and don't troll the mods - they have been armed with swords by the RPA, so tread carefully. :P
