To new beginnings... (Patreon)

Hi, there, you might remember me :D my name is Mary!

All jokes aside, I wanted to thank you for keeping up the support even though the blog updates were a little bit slacking. It's been weird months for a lot of us, and I would be a liar if I'd claim I handled it all perfectly. So the fact that you're still here: thanks, from the bottom of my heart. 

So.................. TWITCH. 

About this I can share so much but also so little. I'm hurting. I know Mixer is  'just' a platform, but you all know it was much more for me. Getting a press card for Gamescom, being able to stream Planet Zoo live in their booth before release, getting front page slots so I could promote little games or have a sponsored stream, etc. All these things might not come back. BUT. What I care for the most is our Choomunity. I want to go live and see names of people that I care for. Some really chatty, some lurky lurky. You're all so different but together it makes such a nice mix to hangout with. 

I was scared I was gonna lose that, but I think I was wrong (thank god!). You all moved over with me and all doing your best to show that our group-feeling hasn't changed. The next few months are definitely going to be weird, but I believe we will survive. 

In that sense I also want to acknowledge how your financial support yet again takes a struggle of my mind. With Patreon, the double ember payout and our 18 hour stream, I am literally not stressed about money, which coming from me, means A LOT :D, especially after the real shitty furlough period. I don't like to thank people too much for money, because it's not what is the most important part in life. But probs to all of you, for being able to give me peace of mind in that way while literally the rug was pulled from under my feet on something I worked really hard on (can I say that sometimes :D) for the past years. It gives me the ability to focus on rebuilding our community for the next period, instead of also having to think about what things could help us financially survive.

This is just the beginning of our Twitch journey and honestly, I don't know if we're gonna do well or not. Better or worse. But I noticed we still have eachother so at least the road will be a warm cozy one.

On a totally different note, the gyms are open again LOL so the next update will be coming soon and will be about my weight loss journey. So I'll see you all soooooooooon !

Hugss (haha I hate hugs, who am I kidding :D).

But with a lot of love,
Mary
