If you're reading this blog post, you probably don't know that I used to create Roblox videos on YouTube. It was a huge passion of mine when I was younger, and I made close to two hundred videos while I was active from 2018 to 2021. In addition to making pre-recorded content, I also livestreamed on occasion, which I loved as much as recording videos. When I stopped playing Roblox, it was sad to let the channel go, as I didn't think I could transition it away from Roblox-centric content.
You might be wondering why I'm mentioning this now. Recently, I've been reminiscing about all the experiences I had on Roblox as a child, as well as all the joy I had building my YouTube channel over the years. It made me start thinking about content creation again, particularly the livestreaming aspect. As much as I enjoyed recording videos when I was younger, I don't find myself wanting to make them again, at least right now, because of their inherently disconnected nature. Livestreaming, on the other hand, allows others to communicate in the moment, share their own ideas, improve upon yours, and give you near-instant feedback on what's happening. Admittedly, at the time, because of my setup, I treated livestreaming like a recording session and unintentionally ignored the live chat, but that's beside the point.
By this point in the post, you may be able to figure out my next sentence. I'm thrilled to announce that I've decided to start livestreaming again. Right now, it won't be on a regular schedule, but I've been working in the background for the past month to prepare, and I'm finally ready to click the Start Streaming button again for the first time in years. I'll be broadcasting to the livestream-centered platform Twitch, where I haven't streamed in close to seven years. I picked Twitch for its live community and discoverability compared to YouTube, and I hope you'll join me there.
My first new Twitch livestream will be on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM CDT. I'll be playing the ocean waste-cleanup video game Spilled!, and I estimate I'll be live for about three hours, though I may stream for longer. After the stream, I'll upload the entire broadcast to my new VODs (Videos on Demand) channel on YouTube, where you can watch it anytime. The original broadcast, with full chat replay, will also be available on my Twitch channel for the first sixty days. I've already made a laundry list of ideas for future livestreams, so keep an eye on my X and Bluesky accounts to hear when I'll be live next. And if all goes well, I might just make livestreaming a regular occurrence.
