Some of you seen this coming with some previous posts and comments in regards to my Lets Plays. I've been putting this update off for a week now, but it's about time I talk about this now.
I am no longer continuing streams on a schedule.
Around over a year or so ago, people suggested that I should run my stream on a schedule so they could catch my streams more. While this was a great idea in theory, it just never worked. The only people that ever attends my streams are occasionally Lejes, Dimentio, and Moosh, and I could just message them personally to let them know I'm streaming if I have to.
I've made a lot of unnecessary changes to try and increase viewership of my channel without completely selling out (a.k.a playing bullshit stupid games I don't want because they are popular).
So I've come to realize that I myself am just not a popular person. To increase viewership, I would literally have to change who I am, my personality. So ya, no thanks. lol Views are really not that important to me.
The original intent of my channel is to revisit many of my favorite games that I grew up on and record the experience as a way of retiring those games from my life. (Not permanently, but metaphorically) as I may never return to some of these games. So I've come to realize, I don't need a schedule for this. I'm just sick of running on a schedule. It's flat out getting on my nerves and I don't want to do it anymore. I just don't like the idea of feeling I have to stream every week. Or promising a stream at 3pm only to feel at 9pm that I don't want to do it. This stuff just annoys me because my personality doesn't mesh well with schedules.
I also feel that the schedule is taking away the experience of actually enjoying my streams, which is probably impacting on what actually makes my streams any good. I mean, if I'm not enjoying them, how can people enjoy watching them, right?
So going forward, I'll just stream when I'm in the mood for it. If people catch it, then great! If not, then that's alright too. I feel the schedule is unneeded and more troublesome than it's worth. I hope you guys understand.
Also, as a further update, I am thinking about abandoning the discord server for my Lets Plays as well. If or when I do, I will just set things up so that my streams appear in PureZC's Lets Play server.
