Look, I'm nobody.
I've been thinking about this and while nobody's going to read this thread I have some real thoughts based on a decade of streaming.
I think we have a tendency to frame success as a cumulative work and not as the many parts that make it up.
This is a self-defeating mistake. 🧵

As a streamer, how do you define success?

I am getting so many emails about games coming out on the Switch 2.
I think I have more emails about Switch 2 games than demos for games this week. That is crazy.

No I did not put my underwear on both inside out and backwards. That is an preposterous claim.

Episode 3 of season 1 of Stranger Things. Eleven is at Mike's house alone while he is at school. She turns on the TV and He-Man is on. On a weekday morning?
Pffft. This show can't be taken seriously. 🤔

I have already played 15 different games on stream in 2026/January. That is roughly 15% of my 2025 total.
I had my own version of a burnout in 2025 and limited my games to a career low of only 93 games streamed for the whole year.
I had a feeling I had snapped out of it as December went on. 😏

I watched all 3 of the Star Wars sequel trilogy again. I still like them. They still have the same flaws, they don't seem any worse or better to me. I do think I like the positive things more than before though.

Played 3 games on stream today and only one was planned and that one kind of disappointed. Never even got to the other game I planned and now tomorrow's stream has changed.
Haha, too many games this week but I am OK with that.

I really need someone to make a new really deep, super good, better than any before it F1/fictional F1 management game. Better than Motorsport Manager, F1 Manager, Open Wheel Manager.
I will sniff my Race Fuel candle until then.

Been since early summer last year but going to try that 1440p streaming again for a day at least, see how it goes. Test last night seemed better on viewer end. More bandwidth than before though, ouch.
Between the two streams at once it will be 28000 kbps. That is pushing it with my upload. Haha

Enjoying multiple (2-3) games a stream these days. I must be going senile because I have always hated doing that.
This year is shaping up the exact opposite of last year. Maybe this is my midlife crisis? 🤔
