Hello! And welcome to the Writer's Room! I'm TGA, your friendly neighborhood Author-Man! Raised on an eclectic mix of Disney movies and 80's slasher films, I've been a streamer since 2017, an author since 2003, and a gamer since I was old enough to wrap my hands around a Sega Genesis controller. When it comes to my stream, given my name, I doubt it will surprise you to learn that I focus my content around narrative-driven single player games, with a special fondness for RPGs and literally *anything* that's made by Remedy Entertainment.

From the moment I first hit the "Go Live" button, one of my driving goals with streaming has been to give my fellow marginalized nerds a safe place to come in, kick back, relax, and forget about the outside world for an hour or two. To that end, I expect everyone in chat to abide by the following rules: No Racism No Sexism No Homophobia / Transphobia No Harassment No Unsolicited Backseating No Unsolicited Self-Promotion

Learning how to balance being an Author and a Streamer at the same time has been one hell of a challenge, but I like to tell myself that after seven years, I've finally got it down to as close to a science as possible. (Author's Note: It's nowhere even close to a science.) ***Tuesdays & Thursdays - Noon to 4pm Pacific Time.*** I'm currently debating adding Wednesday as a stream day too, but that currently requires further testing and experimentation. As such, Wednesday is currently the standby day for any bonus streams I may feel like doing.

I currently have an ***intensely*** Love/Hate relationship with social media, but part of **both** gigs as an author and streamer is to have a presence on it, so if you're on the following platforms, feel free to drop a follow!
