If you're enjoying your time here or wish to see this platform grow, give some funding to Altstream! The platform currently relies entirely on crowdfunding -- without users giving a little bit back, it can't exist.

Use https://beatsaver.com/ to search for maps you want to see me play. Press the "!" button on the right side of map cards (or on the top of full map pages) to copy a request command that you can paste here in chat!

My bot cannot currently respond to commands, but it will react to !bsr commands so long as the maps you request pass request filters.

my views (i feel like these speak much more about me as a person than i can write about myself)

I am LGBTQIA2+ friendly (I'm aro/ace-gay myself). Gender and sexuality are all fluid, there is no black/white when it comes to this stuff.

I am pronoun friendly (I use he or they!) Everyone has these and uses them in the English language. I don't make the rules.

I am pro-choice. Many women need access to the medical treatments that are under fire from the government here in the US.

I am pro-union. I do not mind sharing any revenue numbers. The more people discuss their pay, the more normalized it becomes, and the more people can organize for better pay. (I cannot share my specific Twitch numbers unfortunately, but I can be general about them.)

I am very police unfriendly (yes, even your uncle). Not much else to say here.

Transgender rights are human rights, they should not be treated any differently from literally anyone else. They're human, like you and me. Black lives matter, too while I'm at it.

I try to be as conscious as I can with the things I'm saying. I try to avoid stigmatized phrases that usually pertain to the mentally impaired and to those that may be dealing with substance abuse. I also try to use gender-neutral terminology. Slurs are also not tolerated here.

Body image shaming and kink shaming are not welcome here. If you make a fat joke, or a joke about what someone might be into (in a derogatory sense), I will call you out on it and remove the message.

Cryptocurrency and NFT's are a scam. Promotion of these are not welcome here. It's a ponzi scheme all the way down. Imagine paying $5k for a receipt with a URL on it that'll inevitably link rot like old Wikipedia articles. Not to even mention what mining this stuff does to the environment.

Generative AI/ML exists to replace artists of every kind. As a musician myself for a long while, AI/machine learning trying to replicate the blood, sweat, and tears I've put into my own work just so they can mooch a few pennies off of it really kind of irks me, quite honestly. Not to mention the environmental impacts this technology is rapidly accelerating, on top of all of our other pre-existing issues.
Please call it out when you see/hear it, even if it starts controversy. We're all begging people to do this.

My political/social/economical views would scare 97% of Americans. I'm very, very, very left. I'm beyond the bottom left corner of that political compass test. I will not budge on my views. Capitalism is a disease.

⚠️ FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING ⚠️

Most of the games I play contain flashing or strobing effects, please hide the stream if you are sensitive to said effects.

No generative AI is used in any part of this stream.

1. Please don't mention your (specific) age unless it's part of an active conversation.

I consider my streams to be 18+. If my moderators or I discover you are under 18, you will be promptly removed from the stream.

I'm pretty lax on chat rules, but keep in mind my moderators and I can ban you for whatever reason we need to.

Also, don't be afraid to ask questions! I don't bite! There is no such thing as a stupid question, unless you're like... actually asking an intentionally stupid question. In which case... yeah -- that's a stupid question.
