[Mathew Canida (PocketHealer) @MathewCanida]

Who are we, and why should you care?

You probably shouldn't lol but just in case I have earned your attention...

We are a couple who have been together for over 20 years (mostly on, sometimes off). We have raised two kids, who are now wonderful human beings.

We have always been gammers. We remember the glory days of the 8bit era.

We started streaming back in September of 24, but started taking it seriously in January. The first time we were raided on twitch was by @jamesdfralic and literally our world has not been the same since! The first game dev we networked with was @MortalCrux and we are forever grateful for the networking all of this has allowed us to do!

We have always been huge supporters of indie musicians/artists/game devs. We play mostly indie games, our stream features indie musicians, and as we start making money we would like to start commissioning independent artists. Hats off btw to @NCSounds for allowing music to be played on stream with attribution to get awareness of independent musicians in the mainstream!

The Games We Play...

We have simple rules... we do enjoy some large titles, such as @warframe @palia @pathofexile We prefer smaller games, and game devs like @ScienartGames @RanchSimulator @veinsurvival We love "Early Release" titles. We play CoOp only; except for when Darkendangel (Suzi) is in "Full Migraine Mode" and then I might play some solo to keep the stream going. We never play PVP.

You can catch us on twitch from about 6pmish to 6amish everyday except for Sunday. The exception is if a holiday falls on a Sunday. It is supper important for us to have the stream online for all holidays because we know how difficult holidays can be for some people. Whether it is a college kid that can't go home for the holidays, or a someone who finds themself alone...sometimes having a space that is always open, that you can feel included and accepted helps.

We decided on 12 hours even though we stream to no one most nights, because globally in 12 hours it hits more time zones, and we can be there for more people.

We are also quit with the ban button when it comes to: sexism, racism, homophobia, or generalized hatred. Self Promotion is encouraged as long as it isn't spam.

On the business side of it... we can be transparent. We put nearly 70 hours a week into streaming, and I put an additional 20ish hours into social media every week. This has become my full time job (and then some) and honestly, most nights we don't really make anything from it, our goal is for this to be self sustainable at the least, and grow from there. We are about halfway there through twitch subs. We do have a donation link to our paypal if you want to contribute but do not want to sub on twitch. Our budget is currently super tight, so any help buying games, or late night munchies is always a help.

By supporting us you help keep the stream open. If you sub through twitch, you get access to custom emotes, a cute dragon pet on stream you can interact with, games you can play in stream like "heist" through firebot, and an AI chat bot that is actually pretty cool (when we can afford the $9 to turn him back on lol) by supporting us on paypal you get our recognition, and our thanks helping us keep everything moving forward. We also have a discord, you can join we have channels for all of the games we play, and for pet pics, and recipes.

We are at the ground floor, and I have NEVER been more excited about starting a new chapter in my life!!

Settlement Status: Functioning.
Leadership Status: Questionable.

We've been trusted with an entire settlement in @ASKAthegame and that feels wildly irresponsible!
