3 years ago, I started recording games because I love games and making content. XD During those times, I would encounter some random PC problems and I was also diagnosed with ADHD and later on autism which disrupted my momentum. I wasn't able to build that habit so I just forgot about it and also got into a lot of different interests between those. Despite a long break, the interest was still there, so I promised myself that I will finally start streaming. Of course some random problems happened as well but I was tired of being stopped by tiny problems so I pushed through anyway and started hitting that "start streaming" button.
# The first stream The main reason that attracted me to streaming is that I want to practice communicating to people and just talking in general... while also trying to focus on the game. It is a challenge for me and it's a perfect balance of meeting my ADHD and autism needs. I was quite nervous on my first stream but I was also taking alprazolam (for sleep) that also worked nicely for my anxiety so it made it less scary. I really wasn't expecting to have someone on chat so I was preparing to talk to myself (that I constantly do anyway).

I think maybe because Subnautica has a lot of fans and they constantly watch gameplays despite having played the game many times. It exceeded my expectations because I always hear Twitch has bad discoverability. I had a lot of help with regards to the game from the viewers which I didn't know was gonna be fun to have instead of just discovering things yourself.

# First raid ![First raid.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiddenblad3/48HfUDkCCmvGBn86gfwLs1QkmYUb1yzLdgtXcLEKjZVrB1t4tPV8atkYGmFki3F2LL.jpg) On my fourth day of streaming, I got my first raid! I think I got 7 followers at that time. That was something unbelievable cos I'd never thought I'd get them this quick. XD I also didn't know how to welcome the raiders, I didn't know how to react cos I wasn't thinking about getting a raid yet. Next raids should be better since I realized I should pause my game and give my attention to them and introduce myself I guess. :D

# Latest stats ![Screenshot 2026-06-28 034333.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiddenblad3/23swkjtQ18fhD5hSgJee3ee5tAseM9DqtcN6pA3MfBtAcU1zKbZHFyJj4pJ6LABxicLdg.png) I'm on my 12th day of streaming (stream around 4x a week) and I'm very happy with my current status. 7 average viewers is more than what I've expected. I'm close to hitting affiliate with all organic stats and I didn't expect it would be in less than a month. I'm also learning other stream-related things like alerts, points, overlays, etc. but I'm taking it slowly cos I want to focus on quality content and engagements first before anything else.

# My Twitch channel ![Screenshot 2026-06-28 043544.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiddenblad3/EoKCAxKiQm3W4nbiAMAHsZR5EJ3knhnL4N9JCLW6uGu2LXZNDssWpPkF9RMhA3Hx5M3.png) Here is my Twitch channel if you'd like to follow: https://www.twitch.tv/hiddenblad3_ There's not a lot there yet cos I'm taking it slow. :D I play Subnautica currently on streams but I will also occasionally play other games (such as horror ones that take only 1hr or so) on some days. I want to finish Subnautica first before moving to playing other long games. I'm planning on playing Resident Evil franchise, maybe Portal, Half Life, etc (not in order lol). But yeah, come chat if you'd like, or let's get out of our comfort zones together! I really focus on talking and engaging with people so if you'd like to hang out with me that would be really nice. :D I also have a [Discord channel](https://discord.com/invite/mHQedEgmE) if you want to hang out there. See you around! :D
