About Me
I'm a long-time streamer (since 2008) known for playing a variety of games, having a chill and respectful atmosphere, and a methodical & insightful approach to the games I play. My streams feature lots of discussion on game systems and game dev overall.
I've been playing games of all sorts for well over 30 years, starting with the Commodore 64 and Vic-20. Combined with over 10 years of experience in the game industry, I tend to have insights that other streamers might not have & I tend to not be so harshly critical of games.
What Games Do I Play?
Primarily retro action games - rogue-lites, shmups, metroidvanias, etc. Lots of indies in particular. I had a long stint with the Dark Souls games, too! I've played over 200 games on steam in the past 10 years.
Here's a list (also, here's my VOD Archive!)
Why the Capybara Mascot?
I wanted a theme to best represent the spirit of the channel - a chill place to hang out where everyone can get along. While all content creators have their ups and downs, the Capybara ideal is the pillar I always return to in order to stay grounded.
Our Community
We're here to enjoy good conversation, play some games, and maybe overanalyze things a little. It's the sort of place where people can come home from work or school and relax - maybe even escape for a while. We're not really centered around loudness, hype, events, or even competitive play.
It's meant to be relatively cool and casual. People can get their ASMR fix, listen as they work or even get some chill time before bed.
My Original Claim to Fame
I was big into the Dark Souls PvP community back in the day, creating one of the most notorious invasion builds of all time for the first game, and then being the most impressive spellcaster invader in DS2. I owe about 11k Twitch follows to that.
I think what put me on the radar was my methodical approach - rather than being as fast, mechanically skilled, or hype as other streamers, I'm good at picking apart game systems and achieving success through how well I can apply that understanding to the games I play.

A specialized challenge run originally made for Dark Souls 2 - somewhat a more robust version of a "use what you see" style playthrough. I've also made rulesets for Dark Souls 3 and Demon's Souls
