Somehow.... Streams Returned......
1,169Q&A Below!!!!!
I will be returning to stream Donkey Kong Bananza on twitch.tv/mikepanoots at some point very soon (hopefully within the next few days!)
-Does this mean streams are back???
For right now, the plan is to stream Bananza and see how it goes. If I enjoy myself and it feels right, then I will continue streaming. I've been thinking about doing this for the past few months and Bananza just seems like the right time to give it a try. Let's just have fun with Donkey Kong and then see what happens. If I don't continue, then at least we'll get a DK Bananza stream out of it.
-What will your schedule be like???
I have a full time job that takes up most of my free time. I'll mostly be streaming in the evenings, hopefully a few times per week. I'm hoping I'll settle into some sort of rhythm.
-Is your setup any different???
My setup is kind of bleak right now... I don't have any of my old equipment, and I'm living in a kinda not-great shared space that can get noisy sometimes. Streams will probably not be as """professional""" as they used to be. If I continue streaming after Bananza, I'll need to slowly build things back up. I appreciate your patience and understanding regarding any background noise or technical issues.
-Are you going to get back on Twitter/Reddit/Discord????
Not right now, no. I am not planning on opening any official servers or social media stuff up right now. I simply don't have the time to manage any official off-stream discussions or communities. I may set up a twitter/discord bot to post when I go live, but for now, just make sure you're subscribed to this YouTube channel and following twitch.tv/mikepanoots. I may start using YouTube community posts as well. This is a whole work in progress. As of right now, this channel has no official active discord, subreddit, or social media. I'll keep you posted.
-Will VODS still be uploaded here?
Yup.
-The logo changed??? Is anything else changing???
Yup. I have been redrawing all the twitch emotes, badges, and a bunch of new BRB screens. So keep an eye out for things to be changing.
-What other games are you gonna stream????
*IF* I keep streaming after Bananza, I have plenty of ideas. Expect similar content to before, as well as some repeats. Lots of weird games, old games, etc. The only games you can't really expect are resource intensive new PC games. I only have a 2080 in this thing and it's starting to struggle.
-Anything else???
Just don't go into this expecting everything to be exactly the same. There will be little changes here and there. For example, I'm going to save thanking subs and bits for breaks instead of interrupting the stream constantly. I'm also reevaluating how to show fan-art. It's going to be a whole process for me, so please bare with me. I'm practically starting from scratch here, so it will take time for things to feel normal again.
-Have you seen any Bananza spoilers???
Yes, but only one thing, and I looked it up myself. I just needed to know............
Other than that one thing, I am going in pretty much completely blind other than what they showed in the direct.
