Hello there! You can call me Silent, Josh, or SilentJosh. I'm based in the UK, and I've been gaming back as long as I can remember. Off stream, my gaming interests cover a broad spectrum, but while I'm live, I tend to focus on more cozy and relaxing experiences. You can expect to join me in games like Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and others that have a similar vibe. As far as my hobbies go, I'm a proud enthusiast of D&D, I've got a love/hate relationship with collecting Pokémon cards, and I've always had a love for photography and art in general. In college, I earned the nickname 'Silent' because, due to my anxiety, I was often found on the quieter side. The core of this channel is all about fostering a positive community and, of course, having a great time together. We're here to enjoy some cozy games, create memories, and share in the fun.
