About Me
* Discord: https://discord.gg/K7CzqX
* I became a father on September, 2019.
* I'm about 30 years old
* I have a full-time job that I engage in during the workday. That said, all donations are appreciated and I plan for them to go toward improving the stream.
* I enjoy playing a wide variety of games, especially coop games.
* I stream a variety of games, largely coop or engineering-related games. I used to be heavily into Escape from Tarkov, but it's hard to find the time to be competitive in that game with a young family. Too grindy.
* I stream to meet people, have good conversations, and learn more perspectives about the game. Please feel free to share your advice in chat, and if you want to join a multiplayer game with me, you're welcome.
* Links related to the game that we're playing are OK to post. Use good judgment. If it's related and not spam you don't need to ask permission.
