I try to get better at things on stream and I love explaining stuff! Streaming is my social and creative outlet.
During COVID, I started streaming to address my gaming backlog, meet new people and focus on a new challenge. I didn't expect it to last long, but here we are, several years later, still going strong.

Fastest Furs
I have actively watched Games Done Quick events since the mid-2010s and even attended AGDQ 2020 in Orlando. During COVID, I ran out of projects and was looking for something new. When I decided to try streaming, speedrunning was an obvious choice to try for the first time. My first game? Phantasy Star Online.
Since then, I've become part of many speedrun communities, volunteered for Fastest Furs, and performed multiple times in front of the in-person GDQ audience. A dream come true in just a few years!

Raised for community-representing charities
Fundraising has been an important part of my stream. Being somewhat turned off by the self-gain nature of streaming, I've sought to make sure we are regularly holding charity marathons and events.
While employed, I have also ensured that all funding raised by streaming has either gone back into purchases for the stream (artwork, equipment, and software licenses) or been donated to charity via support other fundraising events.
The charities I have chosen to support represent my, and my community's, own experiences: queer, furry, neurodivergence, and non-traditional families.

Every speedrunner and content creator needs a YouTube, of course. I tend to do a lot of stream supercuts and creative projects for this channel but I keep the posting volume pretty minimal.

I tend to prefer small groups or personal contact, so I rarely use public socials for more than advertising the other stuff I and my friends got going on. But! If you want to connect over socials, feel free!

I love getting better at stuff! I know I won't ever be the best, but I love learning and sharing. I don't focus on growth—I just want to meet and hang out with cool people and challenge myself.

While applying achievements to retro games can seem a bit silly, it turns out to be pretty fun, motivating and helpful for me! Check out my progress here.

My blog is mostly about me! I like writing, I like providing my friends with more context to my life than social media can provide, and I like keeping a record of my life and travels.
