Why_Rock

Been at it since Atari 2600 and DOS text games. Have most consoles since. Prefer Sega over Nintendo. Have Atari Lynx, Jaguar and 3DO. Favorite MMORPG EverQuest. Favorite game series King's Field. I support the underdog, enjoy indies, purveyor of the obscure. Thanks for the support!

***I'm West Coast, USA (Pacific Standard Time)*** I tend to do ***LONG*** streams so it's quite possible you'll catch me on regardless of your schedule or time zone! **Monday - Friday: Most days** **Saturday & Sunday: Varies** ***Follow me on Twitch, join my Discord and follow me on Twitter to get updates on when I go live (midstream reminders also!)*** **Or subscribe to my YouTube channel for any streams you miss.** ***I do this full time as a passion and for a living, so your support means everything to me!***

***My name is Jeremy. I am very LGBTQIA friendly and someone very passionate about culture and diversity.*** I started playing video games on a Atari 2600 and playing DOS text based games on a monochrome monitor. I prefer Sega to Nintendo, but always owned both. My absolute favorite game series is King's Field which originated on the Playstation 1. I'll probably talk about it. A lot. **I'm a King's Field missionary!** ***I'm also a huge TRON nerd which you'll see in my alerts, emotes and badges as well as Discord design!*** I've gone through a few periods in my life where I was heavy into PC gaming on custom built rigs, primarily MMORPGs like EverQuest, but for the most part I've been a console gamer. I am looking forward to showing off some old school DOS based RPGs though! I want to take you all on a gaming journey with me, playing games you haven't seen before or don't see played very often. I really want to show off my old school console collection for all of you, and the more obscure/rare games I've picked up. **Toxicity in any form isn't tolerated, and I'm a laid back, nice guy with a good heart. I crave honest conversations. I want to make real friends and build a community for all of us to hang out in.** For me the real magic is meeting all the incredible people who find my stream and my amazing fellow streamers. ***I'm situated in the Portland, Oregon area which is Pacific Standard time zone or the West Coast of the United States for my international friends.*** --*Panel art by N30V3N0M*--

***The best way to support my channel is by following and subscribing!*** (The sub can even be free if you have Twitch Prime.) With more subscriptions I can create more emotes for you to use. I'm carefully creating emotes I hope can be useful anywhere on Twitch. ***I have also created custom cheer badges so that when you give me bit donations, you'll see a badge next to your name, not the generic Twitch stuff.*** I stream, because I love doing it! I love spending time with my friends. I'm not in this just to make money. If I can pay my bills while streaming full time I'd be ecstatic. **Click the "DONATE" button above if you really want to send money my way, but I definitely don't expect you to.** I care a lot about the community I'm building and the wonderful friends I've made and will continue to make. **The very fact you watch my channel is support by itself and I appreciate you for it!** **What can I do better?** What would you like to see on my channel? Games, consoles, maybe not game related at all? You're going out of your way to support me, **what can I give back?** **Whisper me, connect with my Discord community "**Grid 2.0**" and/or chat about it on stream.**

***Please join our Discord community "Grid 2.0"*** ***You can also find me on Discord: Why_Rock#6666*** **We are LGBTQIA friendly, celebrating culture and diversity on our server. Whoever you are, and whatever your background, we want you to feel welcome and safe here! We have a great community and want you to feel at home. Welcome!** If you couldn't tell already I'm a huge fan of Tron. I created my Discord server with Tron on the brain, and you'll see those influences in my channel names and layout. **I am constantly trying to strike the right balance between having the right number of channels you will enjoy using without having too many channels causing people to tune out.** I am very passionate about having my subscribers rewarded with special access and features on my Discord server. **Aside from subscriber benefits, I am putting a lot of energy into channels helping others like sharing technical information to assist streamers with perfecting their set up as well as special channel to discuss mental health and related matters with a caring and supportive group of people.**

I have a blue and gold macaw named **Miranda.** Yes you'll see him on stream. He's usually out anyway so if I'm playing a game he's with me. In fact one of my Tier 1 Subscriber emotes is a Miranda greeting! I have other birdies you'll see as well: a gold mantled parakeet named **Li**, a nanday conure named **Tori** and you might even see a little peach faced lovebird named **Little Guy.** I also have three doggies: a big fat teddy bear/ewok looking Yorkie named **Mitzi**, a miniature Yorkie named **Maggie** and a short haired Dachshund named **Heidi.**

**I'm working on setting up a Post Office Box. That should happen in the near future. In the meantime, if you have anything you want to send me, just message me.** I don't expect people to mail me things, but I have had some folks send me the occasional game so it makes sense to have one. **I certainly appreciate the generosity!**

**This is your destination for Why_Rock merchandise!** I totally recognize the fact I have almost nothing on my store at this time. I have many ideas and will be connecting with a designer soon to make some cool merchandise you'll be happy to wear/use own! **More to come!**
