Never a bad idea to have it locked and ready ahead of time

I STILL PLAN TO RETURN TO STREAMING, this is not changing, but in terms of creative direction this feels like a necessary step so that I have a presentation that I'm happy with and feel reflects my best self.

Thank you for coming to my Shed Talk.

Moreso, I the person am Jamie James. My name will not be changing but I'll be creating some combination that isn't JamieJamesVT, and Twitch will let me change that in a few days so we'll be pretty set there.

My carnival barker OC will be getting a name too, which I'm sure I can cook something good.

I love the Vtubing scene so much and have made great friends in it, but the more I look at my new character design, the less I see myself and more I see a mascot. And that's ok, because I love her and still absolutely want to keep using her for things, so we can absolutely put her in that role.

Antony Rafiq Khan what are you doing

I know that awkward unfashionable phase is part of the process, but newsflash, this has been a process that's stopped and started for over 10 years and I'm kind of too old for that shit now

I'm not gonna pretend to be a highbrow motherfucker, I will engage in tomfoolery and I will not apologise for it, but my goal is to be an entertainer, never a content creator

Whatever art you create, please also hold yourself to that level of self-respect

My drive to create again is fuelled by a love of entertaining people, and 'content' has long been a way to commodify people's art and entertainment. Especially now, 'content' does not discriminate between entertainment that comes from the heart and pure slop
