Yo folks, sorry for recent absences. I've been stuck in a loop thinking about the stream, what my goals, plans and predictions are for the year,  and what I should work on to improve the quality and consistency of the stream. I was talking to a good streamer friend of mine yesterday, and it really got me thinking about who / what I am as a streamer, and what are my long-term thoughts and ambitions for myself and the stream.

Moving forward, I feel working to address these ideas and attempting to form a future image / model for the stream is a good idea for both the business and enjoyment aspects of Twitch. The current core philosophies of the stream remain intact: Welcoming atmosphere, Teaching, Learning, Community, and Chill beats. Also memes. The things I feel should change are mostly on my side of the screen, but include: Scheduling (ex. Plan time off in advance), Uptime (less 3-4 h streams, more 6-8 h streams), Twitch experience (chat commands, bot nonsense, new bttv/ffz emotes, memes, etc.), Events (24 h streams, challenges, speedrun/races, etc.), My sleep experience ( BibleThump ).  

I would like to make it clear, that I love streaming. It has evolved from a hobby, to a serious interest, to my passion / full time work in the span of a year. It has been an absolutely amazing ride, and I have no intentions of stopping yet. However, I do feel that I have become complacent over time. Though I put a lot of my time into streaming I feel much of what I do is disorganized, and hastily / lazily produced content seems to have become my thing. I strongly feel this must change for the sake of this community/ channel - and I feel that I can change things for the better with good goal setting and a shift to a more professional attitude.

Thank you for all the amazing support and patience folks, I really do appreciate you putting up with me. If any subs / regulars or even newer viewers who would like to provide me some feedback / constructive criticism / general-shitposting I encourage you to pm me on Twitch / Discord / Twitter 

Tl;Dr - upgrade professionalism, keep chill vibes, become better streamer, thank you for being Legends.
