Have you ever played The Sims 4? I have a minorly popular Twitch channel and it's my weekend hobby.
I understand
Do you enjoy simulation video games?
I think so!!! I used to play Tekken and the sims when I was in high school for fun. Does that count?
I think it does! I've been trying to pick the next game to add to my channel. I also love FIFA 21 and the entire FIFA franchise. Do you have a favorite video game?
I dont think I've ever heard of FIFA, so probably. Not. Do you have a youtube channel too? maybe I can watch some of your videos?
I don't have a YouTube channel but have been thinking of starting one with edits from my Twitch streams. I did Twitch because I don't have to do any of the editing, etc and I can spend a few hours on the weekend making money. I don't know what a good screenname would be. FIFA is a soccer/futbol simulation game where you manage your own team.
That sounds fun!! Running your own team would be cool
It can be a lot of fun. I'm not sure I want to spend all the time editing videos for YouTube, but I enjoy the Twitch streaming. I make just enough that it pays my electrical and water bill, with some leftover.
how does twitch work? do you have followers?
It's a live video webcast like YouTube live with a chat function. You stream when you want, you can schedule streams, and you can gain followers and get paid money plus people can donate money to you while you stream. I have about 5k followers and that's just streaming once a week for 3-4 hours.
REALLY??!! Thats so cool, whats your channel name?
My channel name is fortheobviousreasons. My friends made me start it as they thought it would be fun and I was already playing. I like it and people are generally kind.
That's good!! i will try and find you!!
Please do! I usually stream Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon depending on when I'm working. I think that I'm going to keep doing it in the meantime. Do you think it would be a good idea to post the recorded streams even in raw format on YouTube? I don't know if people would buy it.
Im not sure!! but I would hope the fans you have would follow to youtube and watch past recordings.
I might look into it this weekend. I think people might enjoy them but I don't want to bother editing them because of my full time job.
Can you send the link to the twitch? and that's a fair point. you dont want the hobby to become too tedious
