Hey everyone. So welcome back to another
episode of the hello, spring podcast.
I hope you're all doing well, because in today's episode,
we're about to have another guest on episode 13.
The Lucky 13 actually. And so, I'll be interviewing my
good friend now in Technicolor, AKA tebbe, aka the yellow lover
herself. But if you don't know who
technique is, let me tell you a little bit about her technique
is actually a simmer at heart but also loves to create unique
and detailed bills from the ground of where she brings
people into a honest open. Exciting vibrant and loving
community. That I know for a fact you all
will definitely love being there because I have been a fan of
techne for about a year now. And honestly was being in her
streams and being a part of a community is so warm and
welcoming. And and I just adore being a
part of the spaghetti Squad and I know that she does too.
But anyway, make sure you check out all the links Down Below in
the show notes but let's go ahead and hop into today's
episode. I just want to say thank you so
much for like being on my podcast.
Cast first of all, because honestly, when I ask people to
be on my podcast I get so nervous and they're going to say
no and but honestly no, thank you so much for being our guest
of course. Yeah.
Honestly like when I asked him, like, do you want to be on my
podcast? Like if you said sure because I
remember I think it was last like last year, all right?
Two years ago, whatever. When we me you and Sheila were
on a call, I think we're playing Minecraft or something.
And I was like I want to start a podcast one day and you all hype
me up saying go for it, do it, do it, do it like oh yes.
Oh and now look at us. Look at that.
Thirteen episodes in and we're already still going amazing.
Yeah. I never thought I would actually
ever start a podcast because I found I find myself very
annoying at times but that's just me.
I think we all do though. Let's be honest.
Yeah, but you know, him like The inner self doubt, that kind of
creeps in. Yeah, everything's okay in the
end. Yeah, and look, we put our
quirks out there. We put ourselves out there and
we see what happens and ultimately people seem to like
it. So we must be doing something
right. Exactly.
But I want to ask you.
How's your day been? It's been good.
It's 9:07 a.m. so you know, I got up.
I fed my new pet bearded dragon and I got some.
Yeah, I got some tea now, I'm here.
Nice. What is their name?
I still don't have a name for him.
Unfortunately like I've got a bunch of ideas but it's
literally it's been like two weeks and it still hasn't really
like truly hit me what his name is going to be, but I will let
you know. I will I will definitely let you
let you know. Okay?
Good. I think you should call it
spaghetti jr. After the spaghetti, Junior in
the twitch chat, I think they would really love it.
Oh yeah, I'm sure he would, he would love that.
Oh my gosh. And then he'll be in your house
all day every day and then we no no come here.
Spaghetti jr. I'm going to fill my God.
That'd be so silly. Oh my goodness.
Oh man. So would you tell the listeners
a little bit about yourself? Who's not familiar familiar with
now on Technicolor, AKA techne AKA tebbe, you know.
Yeah sure. So I am called now in,
Technicolor I go by techne and I am a Sim streamer.
I primarily like to build, I'm not much of a gameplay type
person, but building is honestly where it's at.
For me, that's what sparks the most joy for me, to be honest.
And I've been doing building on the Sims at least on stream for
like over well, over a year. R.
Now, and I've been playing The Sims in general since the Sims
1. So it's been quite a journey,
quite a journey. Oh, that's so cool.
Yeah, I Honestly Love The Sim so much, like, it's changed so much
over time. Oh, my God.
Yeah, like I would say, building has gotten a lot easier.
Oh, yeah, I think. Oh, yeah, yeah, only because the
games building was hard, you had to use math, and I didn't have
time for that. Yeah, I know, she's mean and
like, I don't know if it's just me, but at least in the older
games they seem to be like a lot more raunchy if that makes like
did you like get that impression of the Sims when you first like
saw a little bit? Yeah, Yeah.
And I don't, I don't see that at all anymore.
Like, of course, you can still woohoo and in various ways, but
it's just doesn't have that like, oh my God, I'm doing like
something bad Vibe, you know, I think what would make the Sims 4
very raunchy and scandalous is adding cutscenes that we had in
the Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard about those.
I actually didn't play The Sims II, but I have seen it.
I know, I know why. I know, yeah, I played The Sims
wine and I skipped The Sims 2 and 3, and then started to play
The Sims 4 is a huge jump for me.
Oh my God. I want, we're missing on a whole
different. Like you're missing everything
like Sims to breathe, like Is that her?
Like semi is also great, like open world.
Everything's out there for you. The Sims look like potatoes,
but, you know, it's fine. Yeah, but it's like, you got to
go back and playing The Sims 3 at Lee's.
I know. I know, I should probably like
figure that out one day and maybe do like first time playing
The Sims 3 to situation. I think that could be fun.
Yeah, I mean it's on Steam and origin, you know?
You. So I wouldn't have to like, jump
through hoops like you do if you try to play The Sims 1 or 2.
Yeah. I mean first or is an eBay but
find those yeah. Yeah, I'd avoid.
I would avoid those personally. So why did you choose the name
now in technical like what's the name behind it?
You like techno music like like what's the whole deal?
Yeah so I came up with it on a whim like the fastest women ever
Cuz with my then boyfriend, at the time, he was about to play a
fortnight with his friend and he invited me.
And I all I had was my like, my MacBook laptop and I just
decided to see like if it would work.
So, I just opened it up on ethic and made us screen name really
fast. And that was literally the first
thing I could think of, I don't, I like, don't even know why but
I had to play for it night. It didn't end up working out on
my MacBook and the name. Just kind of stuck when I moved
over to Twitch. Well, that I'm glad because I'm
like, it sounds really cool because when I think of like now
in Technicolor, isn't it? Like a I forget it's like a
color. Like, it's like it's okay.
Even if SLI it to be. Yeah.
It has to do with TV and movies. I honestly don't know exactly
what they do. I like do remember that like
movies? Obviously, like one point, we're
all black and white and then as soon as they started being, In
produced in collar. You would see Technicolor as
like one of The Producers or something along those lines.
Yeah. And the name I always thought
was very pretty even though it's literally just a company name
and I really liked the phrase now in Technicolor that you
would see sometimes. So, I just kind of stuck with
it. That's good.
Basically, you are the company. Yeah, I'm basically the company
I've taken over. I'm the CEO.
It doesn't matter. It's all good.
I got it. That's good, that's good.
Yeah. What is your favorite color?
I just want to play my God, the people?
Okay, good question. I know that, you know this and I
know what your favorite color is, I'm just going to have to
say it. It's yellow, it's probably the
best color. I agree.
Yellows, best color, you know.
We I talk to she'll about this like she just won't acknowledge
the color yellow even though she deeply deeply loves it all.
We know she wants it. Yeah, she'll never say it.
We know. Dude, like my I like, I have so
many Like, I have my closet. It's color-coded.
All my shirts are color coded. And the yellow section is the
biggest section. That's great.
I've also got yellow bed, sheets, pillows and curtains and
it's just like, I'm no yellow wall person like you but I'm
still living my yellow dream. I still am.
You know Sunshine yellow, sunny California if use fits the vibe.
It does it really does. It makes me happy.
Like I'm All about like, mid-century modern and like
vintage eclectic type Vibes when it comes to like, like interior
design and I feel like the color yellow just fits in.
So, well, well, wake guys. Both of those.
Oh yeah, I like I have a lot of gold.
I love gold as well. Oh, that's fancy mmm-hmm.
Oh man, I love mid-century modern furniture and like
architecture ago, when I look at him, like builds for Sims, like,
I want to build this and that and that I like I have a dream
of living In a Suburban home, but with like, mid-century
modern related stuff. Yeah, mostly.
But I've always liked wanted to build the Brady Bunch house
like. That is like the Century Modern
for me. Yeah, the way it's like laid out
and the way this like the shape is so awkward, and it's so
rough. Yeah.
But I think it can be achieved with like plan.
Yeah. - other things I was definitely helpful now.
Yes. Sure.
But oh my gosh, The Brady Bunch was a great short short.
So many was a good shot. I have only seen like a handful
of episodes, and then I've seen that like parody movie series
that they came out with, like, back in the 90s.
Did you ever see that Andrew? Paul.
Wasn't it? No.
Oh my God. It was, it was very silly.
None of the original actors in order in it or anything it's
just like a bunch of actors playing the original characters.
But anyway, off on a tangent there honestly, I mean Hey, it
is what it is. I am I didn't really see that
one but I saw the The Brady Bunch Movie.
That was a film. That I think it's seventies or
whatever. Like the first movie that they
did. I didn't know if they had one.
Whoa. Yeah they had that one.
I think they did like a vacation one.
I think I don't remember. But okay.
Okay, sick, thank you. Young was.
I've got a watch that. Yeah, I think you could be a
good no movie night special night.
I do like to with the movie nights and discard, those are
fun. Yeah.
They're very like fun to do. Like bring the community
together. I, you know, I wish though this
court would I make it bigger where more people cannot join in
because only a select few can like, watch it.
Hmm, it's so lame. It's so lame.
I wish. I wish it could work out man.
But yeah. Discord.
Did you like that? And we are but a few just lowly.
Lee users of the platform and there's nothing but good to be
true. It's true.
I think they were about my by Microsoft.
So okay. Yeah interesting.
I guess we'll see where it goes from there then hopefully.
Yeah. So I always asks everyone that's
all the time because I'm just nosy and I just want to know,
but what was your first impression of me?
Because I have no idea. Oh, oh, oh that, we all, that's
such a good question. Like, what I first heard about
you it was just like actually from like browsing through the
Sims category on, on Twitch, because, like, I was still,
like, kind of getting to know everybody as like, I started to
grow as a streamer. I wanted to like, know who else
was like also like growing and like other people that, like, I
could potentially like relate to in some way and I saw you, and I
was lurking in your stream for, like off and on, for quite some
time. I still hadn't followed you yet.
But I thought that you were just so like nice.
Like so like almost aggressively kind o thing and yeah, I was
like, oh my goodness. He's so like kind to everybody.
He like, makes like you, what? She'll do it like, it's so wild,
like, even when Kayla low, some xia has rated you like before
like you react to her raid, you make sure to finish like your
conversation with the person that you previously be taught
Ben. Can do and that is, that is
something that's always stuck with me.
Like you make sure to like, you know, like keep keep every every
single conversation going. Make sure that every single
person in there is is noticed basically.
Yeah. You just go through messages one
by one like that and sometimes with me like I can be very
sporadic and the way that I read my messages as they come in
versus you just do them as like in order, which is so so nice.
And I wish I could do that. But like, you know how it is
when you stream. Sometimes it's just like every
every like thought that comes in and everything, everything you
do is just so like its it can be stressful sometimes.
But like it is honestly like go ahead and to be honest.
So it like Ivory chat out of order.
Like it may seem like I'm reading chat in order but really
out of order where I gosh because I have the most like
craziest brain in the world where because I have ADHD and
like my brain goes like from one.
Into another one to another one, to another one, and so
confusing, but it makes sense to other people, which I'm like,
oh, okay. But when I get rated by people,
like, I see the rain coming in, but like, I don't acknowledge it
until like I finished, like what I'm saying.
Like you said, because Yeah, because sometimes, like, I've
always felt where people who like, hop in the streams, or
whatever, sometimes like the quote streamer, doesn't notice
them or like, talk to them because either chats going too
fast or they just Just ignore them completely.
And I've always been a person where I've been ignored by other
people in real life. Yeah names that not notice.
So I've always felt you know, giving people attention is
somewhat is a good thing but also a bad thing on depend on
who you're talking to. Yeah definitely.
So I go he's like feel like treat people the way you want to
be treated is how I've always grown up.
So yeah that's what forgiveness. Yeah.
Try to I try to do the same. I really, I really do.
Like, I've had people come in and be like, oh my God.
Like you're actually reading that you read my message or you
like actually reading fat. And I've been like, well, I
mean, if, if you're comparing me to like very, very large
streamers fast chats, of course, they're not necessarily going to
see your message all the time. But, you know, there may be
streamers out there who just don't really pay attention to
their chat at all. And I'm trying to avoid being
that person by all. Yes, me too.
And I try my best to read every message to, like I'll say, yeah.
If I get like a raid or whatever or something I'll say hi to
literally everyone like not. Yeah.
Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Cuz it's kind of like chaotic when you think about it, because
even with slow mode, it doesn't help sometime doesn't help right
now. It's looking like it's to slug,
it's too slow, but yeah, it just it limits each.
Persons like, messaging experience, but if there's a
bunch of people in there like, you're still going to have like
a lot of messages coming in. So I don't know how Kayla does
it. I don't either.
So, I mean, honestly, props to her.
Yeah, truly, I can't do it. No, but, but I think I found
you, uh-huh. Either through Kayla or bison
mother's streamer because nine times out of ten.
I will find people who like my Ended or through the Sims tab,
which I very like, like sometimes not search through
this because I don't, I should to find other people, but I
think that, I think I found you through Kayla, I'm pretty sure
potentially, like, I know that, our first like, actual
interactions at least through a voice chat were when it was
either me you and Sheila or mute shella.
And no, no, it was me a cello when we played Minecraft
together that first time. Yeah.
Oh my gosh, those like, a whole year ago I know.
It's wild and you know what just happened?
Yeah like I think wait with a knife.
Yeah it wait. Oh my gosh, it's 2021.
Why are we all got partner like around the same time ago.
Yes yellow got part of the same day and think a couple days
afterwards you got partnered? It was so it was like a week.
Yeah. Yeah that's just so crazy but I
know something's happening here. What's going on?
Well, it wasn't Wild time, very, very wild time nuts.
Not to like downplay. Like, you know, like the current
day or anything but like, yeah, there was just so much happening
like so many people getting partnered.
It was a wild time. It was, it was awesome.
It was, I wonder like The Sims Community has grown a lot since
last year, besides what the pamir camera.
Emma. Yeah, but like, it's grown on
Twitch so fast that I'm happy that it's growing that fast
because it's more people. Being introduced at which the
first time or be able to stream for the first time and seeing
how it works. But also make a new friend, new
friends and connections and possibly end up somehow
relationships because some people end up actually finding
out were end up dating someone in there, like, twitch chat.
Because I ya seen each other that they like notice each other
in the chat, they chat more and more, and more like a discords,
and eventually meet up, and then they get married, like a lot of
people who has been doing it that way.
Way. It's so, yeah, crazy.
Yeah, I remember that it was fixed sella and zoos.
I don't know who, I don't know, if you know who they are.
But oh yeah. They're twitching was, and they
found the like first, like, so not.
So, but like Chad, it, we with each other through a mutual
friend, I think it was James Turner's, twitch chat.
I think that's how that they are.
It's a weird. It's a weird place, but it's
also like an amazing place, because so many people are
forming friendships. In relationships and like
whatever like everything under the rainbow like you're saying
during the panoramic that we're in, it's been really, really
nice to kind of supplement our social needs.
Yes, I find it very comforting and oh yeah, it may seem bad but
I feel like I'm kind of glad it happened in a way because I kind
of needed it where I need like the slow down and take a
breather from My day-to-day life of like going to school every
day like driving back and forth. And then having my jobs and
everything like that was stressful, and I couldn't handle
it all on time. Yeah.
YouTube and streaming some kind of glad it happened, but not
glad it happened. Yeah, I think maybe a good way
of putting it. Is that like there are pros and
cons to everything, and the pros that have come out of the very
few Pros that have come out of the panoramic.
The fact that at least like online communities have kind of
grown Own. And a lot of people have made a
lot of good connections through the internet in a safe way
where, you know, no one is spreading the ongoing virus.
Exactly. Honestly, I'm just kind of glad
things are dying down, like, yeah, breaking their vaccines,
and it's just so great and hopefully the world will go put
them quote back to normal, but it's not going to be normal, but
I'm yeah, cited but interested to see where life will be headed
now. Yeah, it's definitely.
A different like after every like sort of like big event
we've had in the world, things have kind of changed like, you
know, back in like 9/11 that changed a lot in terms of like
airport safety. But now like this, which is a
huge thing as well. I'm assuming they're going to be
a lot more precautions that a lot of different establishments
take when it comes to, you know, the safety of the people that
are in like within them. Yeah.
So we'll see how it goes. I definitely have not like the
best person to But I'm at least hoping for the best, you know,
I'm trying to. Yeah.
Trying to go to Disneyland eventually trying to do a lot of
things so we'll see how it goes. Yeah, one day honestly, I always
liked had this like reoccurring dream when I was younger like in
high school where I would sleep and then I have a dream of like
the next couple of days that I'm in school walking through the
Halls like acting like I know of where everything's at like it's
so weird and then I wake up and then I go to school the next
Next next few days afterwards and I'm like, that's deja vu.
I feel like I've been here before.
No. In fact I've never been there.
I've never seen it but like I feel like I know where I'm
going. Seems easy.
Wow. I'm but it's weird.
I feel like I'm I have an experience that that's wild.
It's weird dreams very weird. It is I don't understand.
How does it work? I don't know.
I'm not a, what is it? A neuroscientist.
I have no idea. Yeah.
Um, so like what, you know, now, what you say, your 2021 has
gotten a lot better since last year like compared to 2020.
I would say guess. I mean, 2020 was definitely wild
when it comes to the like pandemic, especially like the
first half of the like of the air versus the last half, but
2021 has. I would, I would say been a lot
better and for a lot of different reasons for me and you
know, I moved to LA. I've got a new, a new pet.
Like my first actual pet. I've never, you know, like
actually been the sole owner of a pet before.
So that's been really fun. Yeah.
And I like I think once I'm like fully vaccinated and it's been
the two weeks after the second vaccine I'm going to go I'm
going to start going to rock climbing gyms and high.
I've always loved going in the past but I've never gone like
consistently ever. But this time around, I
definitely am going to and I'm very excited for it.
That sounds fun. I've never been rock climbing,
but I've always wanted to do it like so fun.
I'm fully vaccinated but I'm like I don't want to go
anywhere. Yeah, I know, it should be in
thankfully though. Like la like is decent when it
comes to having like a bunch of locations for a bunch of
different, like types of like gyms and literally everything.
So that's been really nice. And thankfully, I don't Aunt.
I think there's one that's not terribly far from me.
So I have no reason to not go. So I'm going to force myself to
you as soon as I can a yeah. So like what have you been doing
to keep yourself like productive these days of life?
That's hard. Because sometimes I feel like
I'm just not being productive at all but I mean it looks like
you're being productive from the outside looking in.
Yeah definitely. And in the end I still am
getting a lot done. You know, I do I do have a day
job. Marketing in addition to Twitch,
which is definitely helping me out a lot, but I To keep myself
productive. Honestly, it's just the
motivation is knowing what my goals are and that in order to
achieve them. I do have to keep going and I do
have to keep moving forward. That's smart.
Basically it for me. Yeah.
I feel like the key thing is
that when you have a set goal in mind that you want to achieve
later on in life, you got to do the things that you need to do
in order to get there. Hmm.
Yeah, that's very true. Yeah, because I remember there
was a time in my life We're in eighth grade because I just
auditioned for show choir for high school and I got in because
I'm just so talented. Not really.
I just like, eventually was just that one child.
That was that he's got in, but when I got in of the okay, this
is my time. I know what to do.
Let me go and figure out the rest of my life.
So I start plating, literally my entire life.
I'm like, yeah, great to like, when I was going to graduate
University, All that stuff. I planned out it all happened.
I got another show choir all four years and then I was like
in the top part for like a year, my god.
Wow. I've traveled to places.
I went to Carnegie Hall up before him there and you know,
God, it's like I did all these things because I knew where I
wanted to go in life. I was very determined.
That was very ambitious person who wanted to prove people wrong
where, yeah, because I all my life, I've always been told that
oh, you're not good enough, he can And do all these different
things because you are a certain way or you act a certain way, or
you do something that's like, what in the world.
And so annoying to know that I've had that mindset for a long
time and I was like, you know what, screw them.
I don't care. I'm going to do what I'm going
to do, and I'm going to achieve that stuff, no matter what
people say, and yeah, and you did that.
Yeah. And a lot of people, yeah, a lot
of people still have that mindset where they don't think
they're good enough. But in reality, in reality, they
are They totally have the right motivation.
The right people around them, that will tell them that you can
do whatever you want in life if you put your mind to it.
Exactly like it is like kind of like a Cheesy thing to think
about, but like literally like you, if you just put your mind
to something, you can just about just about do anything.
And it also is just like having the right beliefs in yourself.
You know what I mean? Because if you don't believe in
yourself, you're not going to have the motivation to do
anything. Yeah.
So it's just taking that first step.
That brings you to where you want to start heading.
Exactly. So what are some of your goals
you want to achieve this year? Oh, that's a good question.
I never think about like, I mean, I do think about what my
goals are, but nothing like to concrete, I suppose.
But in terms of this year, ooh mmm.
I mean I definitely I think like any other streamer.
I would love to continue to grow my stream and yeah, continue to
make things better. And, you know, update like
graphic design start. Putting out more Contents.
I have been wanting to do. Tech talk for so long and I've
like, been in the process of even making a tick tock, but
haven't like completed it. There's just there's so many
different things I had that that I have that I want to do.
I'm also at the same time, I'm very busy when it comes to the
day job and also, you know, like streaming and then doing
housework and like, personal personal work like that is, I've
got a lot to do. Yeah, only have the time to
like, do everything that I want to do, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I guess I guess to answer your question in like the most,
I don't know. Vague sense of that.
Anyway, I think my goal. Goal is definitely to continue
to grow my stream. And it anyway, basically like
what whether it's like, the size of the audience, or maybe it's
just, of course, as I said before, like the graphics I
think, would be like a win for me in the end.
Hmm. I would, I would agree with you
on that too. Like, I think my goals this
year, so definitely grow as a business professional.
And like yeah, whether it's number wise or, you know,
self-esteem wise or Like that. That I feel like I've
accomplished something that this year, that changed for the
better. Oh yeah.
Because I've learned that
impact. Go for numbers like numbers,
don't Define who you are. And and for the longest time, I
don't know if you felt this at all, but when I was partner
pushing I was so focused on the numbers.
Yes, so long that oh yeah I got it was mentally drained to the
point where I'm like, is it real?
Lee worth it at the end of the day and I knew that I wanted to
achieve it because I knew that was going to be a lot of
opportunities open to me and my community.
That would show that we are a community that we can do these
things because we are at a certain level, but I think at
the end of the day, sometimes partner is just a check mark,
that can be achieved One Day by somebody, but is not the
ultimate goal that all your problems will be solved.
Yeah, I know. Definitely not I think a lot of
people have this idea in their head and so did I that when you
become partner you can find Allie like, relax and
everything. Will be easy.
Once you get partner and it's, you know, it's the same thing.
It's like you gotta have the same mindset to continue to be a
good streamer. Otherwise, you know, you're just
gonna like, relax, I suppose and like you should relax of course,
but if you relax too much when it comes to the content, you're
putting out there. People are going to notice and
And they might not, you know, enjoy your content as much as
they did when you were putting all the effort possible into it.
Yeah, definitely. I agree with that too because as
long as you are having fun, then other people will have fun.
Yeah, you have to be having fun. You can't just turn on your
stream and go just because you're wanting to grow.
I guess you can't just play games that you don't necessarily
like because they bring in. A bigger audience.
You have to do the thing. The statute that make you happy.
Yeah. And like, that's me with the
Sims. Like, I will play.
I could play Sims every single day on stream.
Yeah, but I feel like if I did that, I wouldn't not necessarily
hate it. I would think that would be kind
of, like, I don't know if I could do this, as long as I
would, if I could, right. So I would like, take a sit back
and play a different game that I like enjoy.
Like I said, the standard of my stream where I love like story,
Choice based games like The Walking Dead.
Life is strange. Look, I'll play those because
those are like, what? I love, and I can untie them
into the Sims if I wanted to, so yeah.
Oh yeah, especially like, if a game is like close enough to The
Sims for The Sims Community. You know, like Star do is huge
within the Sims Community as well.
Like, I think it's really easy to kind of just switch over and
yeah, like less people might come, but at least you're having
a better time, you know what I mean?
Like, if you're feeling burnt out from The Sims, it's good
too. Take a step over to something
different for one day and just kind of give your, give her mind
something new to look at. Yeah, and I've always given
people like the inspiration of like if you play a different
game but you also the Sims, why not tie those two together?
Like I saw you and krub plate, it's take to what you could do.
Is recreate those characters in The Sims and built that set in
The Sims. That's a good idea.
Have you played? It takes to it.
It's so good. I haven't I figure out like I
have the game but I'm like, I don't know who to play with.
It's so much fun. I'm sure I'm sure you'll find
someone. There are so many people that
love this are that are wanting to play this game as well.
Yeah. Yeah, it looks so much fun.
Like it? Yeah, it's Co-op.
It looks very collaborative the graphics of it looks amazing.
Yeah, I'm like this will be a great game that I could play.
Yeah. And the story is great.
It's very relatable. And just like a beautiful.
What's the word like? Just just beautiful settings and
scenes. It done such a great job on that
game. Oh my God, it's so good.
I've always wanted to know, like how long it takes a Game Dev or
Studio to make video games. Yeah.
Oh my God, I have no idea. I don't know, I mean, I need to
ask a guru in The Sims seem like, how long does it take you
make to make the game? Even though they've said it?
I don't remember. But I'm like, I have no idea.
I might ask Dave. There you go.
Then again I don't know because like the Sims like is there
continuously making that game? Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. So I guess it just depends.
Yeah. How 22.
It's almost been seven years. The Sims 4.
Oh my god. Wow.
Yeah, that's kind of crazy. How it's been that long also
it's May, it's my second one. We're recording this but it's
like, I don't know. Seven months.
No eight, eight months time. We're going to be at the 22nd
anniversary of the Sims franchise.
I don't want that to happen. But I wanted to happen because
in like that number. It's like, that's my entire
life. Yeah, yeah.
Like because are you 22 right now?
Oh no. I'm 25.
Okay, but like I said it's basically your entire life.
Yeah. Like my whole life was just a
Sims nothing else made excuses. Q sits with the Sims, you know,
not sick because of the Sims stayed inside a lot.
Like I was I stayed inside for so long that I got eventually
got sick. Oh my God, some like, oh this
one more Sims, we're good. We're fine.
Oh God, as long as you're playing The Sims.
Let's go. Exactly.
So you've been sitting for a while now, but like, when, when
it comes to streaming, a lot of people tend to Stream for a long
time. And they're like, okay, well, I
think I'm done for now. But like what keeps you coming?
Back this streaming. Like what keeps you?
So motivated motivated to say? I want to stream and I really,
really love this. And I want to be able to like
grow my community even more, but like what keeps you like going
back to it? It's a community.
Like yeah, I was going to say like I think the number one
thing is definitely the community.
I have so many awesome, awesome friends that come to the Stream.
Mmmmm either every day or every other day, doesn't matter.
There's so many incredible people that are a part of my
community and to be able to see them every day like this or, you
know, whenever they do decide to pop in, it's just, it makes me
so so happy because they're like, I mean, I'm assuming you
might also have like an art section in your Discord, right?
Yeah, yeah. Like they're there are people
who are just so incredibly talented.
There are people that are hilarious and just so many.
Well that like put a smile on my face every single day, it is
wild. So that is definitely
definitely. What keeps me coming back?
You know the community. Oh is what keeps us strong?
What keeps us going? Honestly, I think without our
community I don't think we would be where we are today.
No. Oh oh my goodness.
No. I the ultimate question for the
community. I think everyone needs to know
this what is The pedal party and what is it?
The spaghetti Squad. Hi.
Okay. Okay, I'll do this feel.
I'll do this field. Yeah, so in my stream, there are
two teams. One of which is called the
puddle party, which is to chilled out like Vive in like
hang out type of group of people who just love to just be super
cool and just you know like just being themselves and then
there's also the spaghetti Squad, the best Squad.
No. No no here's the thing.
Steve anything, they're disgusting.
They're evil their vile their foul there.
Nauseating to even think about and no one, I repeat no one
wants to become a member of the spaghetti Squad.
I hope I don't know, I'm not that there's evidence out there.
That no said, you love spaghetti.
I said of accident. Nope.
Nope lies. I don't know that must have been
somebody else but I don't I think that was I think it was
you I don't think so sister. I just I don't know not me I
don't know maybe not huh spaghetti swats the best Squad
and we all don't know. Cuddle party only pedal party.
Only my dude I don't know. Oh oh Oh my gosh.
I find that very funny because like like how did that become to
be? Like I don't have no, I have no
idea. Um, so I created the pedal party
first and it still exists this way.
The pale party is basically the group of people that come to the
stream within the first five minutes because they threw about
that's area codes, my mod. And also another streamer has
created. He created this.
Bought that assigns, everyone VIP, if they come to the In the
first five minutes and they get VIP for the day and they are
technically the pebble party but there was someone at one point
who wanted to create a rival Squad and it somehow happened to
be called the spaghetti Squad. And here we are today, that's
good, very good. Who is the largest Squad pedal
party or spaghetti Squad cuddle party all the way I eat and you
can see it in the numbers. Members on my Discord because I
do have like a roles section in my Discord and you can select
which party early, which Squad you're apart of basically and
more people have selected pal party.
I'm just saying that number seems very fake to me and pedal
party. You make it on a shoe talking
about spaghetti, though, I would think is very good.
I like it. It's kind of evil if you think
about it. I don't know.
I mean, if you like SpaghettiOs, so okay, I'm okay with
SpaghettiOs because most people wouldn't consider it to be
actual spaghetti. But it kind of is so no because
the sauce is so like it's thin and it's like a million times
sweeter and the noodles are also like overcooked first of all and
they are like in the shape of circles you know.
And so it's not technically even spaghetti noodles you know
saying interesting. Yeah I don't like it because it
looks so weird. Have you tried it though?
I have okay we had like the worst SpaghettiOs.
The world but I don't it was weird.
It's definitely different. Yeah.
I grew up on them though, so that's why I actually like, you
know, I looked up that SpaghettiOs is Market to parents
as quote, unquote less messy than regular spaghetti.
So interesting, I guess it's because it's like smaller
noodles. So like you don't have to worry
about like spoon-feeding yourself, long noodles, like,
How do I have no idea? That's just my guess.
I mean it makes sense because it's in a bowl or a cup or
something like that. Yes.
I mean it makes sense Market a good point unless you make it
messy, then it's like a whole other thing.
But true. That's a good point too.
Oh my God. Yeah so what / who will let you
down the path like to start streaming on Twitch?
Hmm, just start streaming. I'm going to be honest.
I was pretty lonely and I didn't really have any friends and that
brought me to Twitch in the first place just as a viewer
because I was really, really wanting friends.
So, I was into OverWatch at the time and just kind of scroll
down through the browse page on twich through like the OverWatch
browse page and ended up. Up finding a smaller Community
from zombie girly, who I love and I just kind of joined her
community and kind of fit in like almost immediately.
And from there, I decided, Well, hey, she seems to be like a
really awesome person. She can stream this stuff.
Like, what if I were to do this and I at that point started for
me, OverWatch. That's cool.
I've never seen it. Go ahead.
I don't know. I I've never played OverWatch.
It's fun. It's definitely a, it can be
rage-inducing depending on like what like type of game you're
playing, but it's also like just a very fun way to like hang out
with your friends. Okay.
But what were you saying, though?
Oh, I was going to say, my streams would be like upwards of
12 hours without even like, thinking about it when I first
started screaming. What?
Yeah. Yeah, I had like 12 hours dreams
when I first started. Oh my gosh, you are pro.
I know I was having so much fun, you know, I mean like playing
OverWatch. It's a really easy game to just
play all day and just I enjoyed streaming a lot when I was doing
that and just like the excitement of, you know, putting
all your overlays together and like finding out what your brand
is. Like it, it just really, really
kept me going and just ended up streaming a lot for very long
time periods. That's That's a lot.
I mean, I honestly have you ever have you done at 12 hours stream
since then? Yeah, I done to I did one when I
got partnered and then I did another one back in February for
my birthday. Cool, cool.
So they're fun. They just I definitely couldn't
make it that long like normally anymore.
Honestly I find that very POG. He's 12 our streams and Just
daily or like yeah, scream, yeah, whatever is streamed
basically. And I was I was interning at the
time. So I was only and I was only
working like three days a week. So I had a lot of days off, a
lot of free time to just do whatever I wanted and I just
dreamed, that's good. I mean I've did I did the same
thing where what I guess my streams were like six hours
longer. So, yeah, I was just room The
Sims 4. Our that I would be like one
stream. Not looking at the time.
Like, oh, somehow. It's ours.
Interesting. Grant at the time I was still in
school and I had like two other jobs.
So, oh my God. I couldn't, I couldn't it was
stressful back then. Never again.
No. Oh my goodness.
Again, you've been through. Yeah.
Now I just have three hours things and that's it.
Yeah, yep. Three hours were only three
maybe 12. On a special occasion.
Exactly. Exactly.
Because now, we are booked in busy people.
We got Lino. So, I was going to say the next
question, but like, what's you like leaving?
What about leaving the OverWatch Community, the stream Sims fully
like why? Oh, honestly, like I was getting
kind of sick of OverWatch, it can be very toxic space if
especially if you're playing the Of mode with other people and
there are quite a number of men on it and they don't necessarily
know. I and I don't mean to generalize
but a lot of them don't seem to like it.
When they hear a woman's voice over the voice chat and people
can be very sexist and rude and like to blame things on people
when they should be blamed. It's just very mean very uh it's
so crazy. Yeah.
So I just I was kind of getting over that and eating something
that would be better for my creativity.
Honestly, like I never really had a creative Outlet at one
point cerie codes. Again, he gifted me the base
game to The Sims 4 and I just started started building in The
Sims and did was doing it on stream, and I was having a good
time and I was actually starting to like grow a community at that
point. And, you know, it, I haven't
looked back. I haven't looked up back at all.
That's good, honestly, props to say sorry.
Thank you. Yeah.
Straight up its Terry's fault. You know, you Freedom.
So, you know, hey, it's good. Yeah, exactly.
Honestly, like, I have to say that was used during Sims like,
I see you being so creative and so excited to play and build and
like, just anything honest. So that, I just tend to lurk in
a lot of strength. I don't say anything makes a
higher, too, but I didn't know work a lot.
But I like I like your strings. Your seams are very like warm
and welcoming and time, thank you.
I did try to be as welcoming as I possibly can.
So that that's very nice that you have noticed.
Yeah. Another idea that I think you
can do for our, for our build is build a OverWatch something.
Oh my God, one of like, the maps and ever watch.
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Let me run. I mean with tool what's
possible? It's yeah, I wasn't with tool
anything. Possible.
Oh my God. Props to Twisted Maxi.
Yeah, so I mean like one day because like, I've been thinking
of, like, doing something where I would build a fortnight house
in The Sims. Yeah, that could be really fun
and, and enough people have played Fortnight.
I would think though. Yeah.
That's a good idea. You totally should.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, honestly, I feel like
with people who are like looking for ideas to build in The Sims,
like if you play other games, why not build?
That said house or whatever or like make that Sim.
Yeah. We're make that up character in
The Sims. Hmm I mean I know like Like dr.
Glue on did a that's the starting Valley map, which is so
cool. Yeah, he did that one.
And then he's now doing like making like Wizard of Oz.
I move in The Sims and like, yeah, it's so cool.
His brain honestly, I know. Kind of crazy.
I know. It's awesome.
Oh man. I honestly One day if I had
another purse, look another me. I would get more things done and
I could build all day and good to go.
Hell, yeah, dude. Oh my goodness.
I love you dream. It would be.
So, what's your favorite thing about streaming The Sims that
you enjoy. Um, as I said earlier, it was
just like a huge boost to my creativity, when I first started
playing and building, like I never really had Creative Outlet
before the Sims like I did enjoy drawing with.
Just like pen and paper. But I just never really felt
like I felt like I always had this like sort of Creative
Energy and me and just didn't know what sort of like medium to
use for it. And at that point I was like,
well this is a potential chance that you know, boosting my
creativity. So I tried it and it's kind of
just gone from there. I've really, really enjoyed
building in this times, it just makes me feel so good.
That's good. I feel the same way about that
too. We're like What The Sims where
it has been going. I feel more creative in a way of
like thinking of new ideas for like builds or Sims or yeah,
gameplay related things. Like it's been one of the best
decisions I've ever made of like sticking with the Sims for this
long. And I'm glad that it's still
growing and thriving in different Avenues here.
And there. Oh, definitely - a few.
But yeah, I think that it's definitely made people a lot
more creative like in the past, I guess, four, three, three
years for three years of the sim.
Yes. So yeah, I think yeah I think
ever since we got toddlers or terrain tools, I would say well
no toddlers actually yeah since toddler.
Jean. It's been an uphill, you know,
growth of creativity. I would, I would say, yeah,
yeah, I think so too. I mean, when we got toddlers,
Boom, the seventh Hopper challenge became a thing.
So, oh my goodness, you care of seven Stoppers is actually kind
of, I basically did that, because I did do one gameplay
challenge with the Disney Princess Challenge.
And as Snow White, you have to have seven kids at once, for the
Seven Dwarves. And that was just a Hayden.
Too many children like I can't do it.
No, we got Angelic. You got it?
Clingy. Look, no.
I don't have time for those children.
They're like, know they're Wild Ones.
Just take off the clothes. I'm just running around naked.
I'm like, yeah, don't I can't and they won't eat their food
yet. No, not gonna happen.
No, no, no. I find it so weird because Sims
are, are like to me real people. Yeah, in a sense, we're like you
make food, but then they won't eat it.
And like, I made, Made you this suit two hours ago, but you're
not going to eat it but you're complaining that you're hungry.
Yeah, come on. And then you go animal crackers.
Like yeah. Are you?
It's so silly. They're like the way that their
autonomy works. I I can I can get so frustrated
sometimes with it too but that's kind of just the character of
The Sims I suppose just in general.
Yeah and I kind of like it that way.
I like how it's not quote unquote normal right because If
it's normal that it's boring, right?
So I like the chaoticness of the Sims like, two, three and four.
And I like how we're Sims. You can do whatever you want.
And some people say it's boring, but I find it fun because I
think it's again saying, box, do whatever you want, make help,
whatever you want and see where life goes.
If you want a chaotic gameplay, have affairs left and right.
Do we got to do because I do it all the time.
Like my sim. Yeah.
She's don't they don't Last long and marriage, they just end up
being divorced in like a couple seven weeks.
So hmm, it's wild. What can you do?
I mean, I think the good thing
about the Sims 2 is that like you only like you yourself only
get to live one life, right? So like yeah, able to live like
all these other lives in a way that we're like, you know, there
isn't isn't any consequence for you.
Just watching like these people live their lives in whichever
way you like you see fit is a very To kind of like live
vicariously through people at times.
Hmm, of course, like wouldn't want to do that with any of the
evil Sims but it's still fun to like plays that you will see him
sometimes true. I mean, you can make the Wicked
Witch of the West. Mmm.
Are you could make what's his name from from Marvel almost
like can't or Iron Man? No, not him.
But um, they a nose. There it is.
Oh yeah, you can be a thin. I was for sure.
And that, I mean, you have lad Ladi Dadi.
See the grammar. Yeah, you know, those, those
people. And honestly, what's funny to
me, I always say it on stream when vampires come into the
topic. But people, most people don't
know, that flads a young adult, he's not an elder.
What? Yeah, he's a young adult.
Oh my God, he's got an old soul then.
Oh my God, he lives forever. He just wears his like vampire
form a lot or his normal. Yeah, a lot and honestly people
like aren't you gonna die soon? Look no, no.
Even though he's a vampire, he's Immortal he can't die because he
has the the max vampire skill where he can't be burned from
the Sun. Oh so it's always there.
Oh my gosh, I never even realized.
That's, that's interesting, kind of scary.
I mean. Hmm, was MCC there's an option
to turn all a Colts to humans so they do die.
Oh. Oh my god.
I didn't even know that you could do that.
Yeah, I do it all the time because I can't I can't handle
Vlad. Bad at all.
Caleb in like lillas, I can handle but Vlad, no.
He's like at your door saying, knock.
Knock. Knock here, I am.
Your neck looks very juicy. And like, every time it's so
silly. I just can't handle him.
He's kind of crazy now. I just sent him home every time.
I just delete him. Oh my God, something like that.
It's like, get out. I'll just yeah.
Oh my God, you're smart. The other thing I wanted to ask
you on the topic of streaming and like there have been a lot
of ups and downs with streaming. Like, what would you say like
we're like, are some pros and cons to, like, being a twitch
streamer. Are you looking for perspective?
Okay, yeah, sure. So from, I guess my own
experience Pros is definitely the people that you meet, of
course, as I was saying before, it's so many awesome people.
You have people to like play games with if you're wanting to
To play games which is really, really nice feeling like you've
like done. Something is also a very, very
incredible thing. Like I've never really done much
of anything in my life and now I feel like I've actually like,
created something and felt successful in that and that's
been an awesome awesome Pro trying to think of some other
Pros. There are there are quite a lot
of like very small. Things just having something to
You is really, really nice. In terms of cons, I think this
goes for all twitch streamers and that, like knowing what your
numbers are or like having to avoid looking at your numbers,
like it. The numbers thing is always like
a very, very scary thing. You just are a very successful
person which perhaps to. Those people numbers is
definitely like a very hard thing because it's kind of like
almost a reflection of you as a streamer.
Even though sometimes people like it, sometimes the views are
just like out of your control and they don't have anything to
do with you. You know, people might be having
finals or like a lot of it might be summertime.
So many people might be on vacation but it's still hard to
see. It's still hard to see like
numbers fluctuate like that and I think that the hardest part
about it is trying to just get used to the fact that your
numbers are always always going to fluctuate.
Yeah, that's probably one of the biggest Cons.
I don't know of any other cons except for like, there may be
times where I've just not really fully believed believed in
myself, which thankfully I'm not in that position anymore, but
content creation is always kind of a challenging thing when it
comes to believing yourself a and figuring out how to grow is.
Always a challenge, always a challenge.
Yeah, it definitely is, I would say that's One of the cons to
that was like, my own experiences like streaming as a
twitch streamer. Because when I first started
streaming on Twitch, I knew some people that I knew of one person
or two, like Andrew arcade in, like, Rory plays and they play a
lot of the Sims. And I just went into the pain of
like no one's going to know who I am, because I never streamed
on judges had an account but like I was it, I was a YouTuber
first. And right people knew who I was
on YouTube and I was being posted like pretty much posted
everywhere at that point around in 2015 or so.
And when I got to know 2017, I was like oh my gosh, people know
who I am, which is like in a way.
I didn't want attention like I didn't want people to know who I
was. I just wanted to be a, you know,
a casual streamer. Starting new learning the ropes,
but I'm like, definitely You know who I am and people still,
like, don't know, I have a Twitch account which is I feel
great about come, like yeah. Just find me whenever you want
to fire me and I'm here because because ultimately I feel like
the more people you have, the more crazy and chaotic, it can
be both good and bad because, oh my gosh, we have all these eyes
on you. It's kind of scary and it can't
be about fun. Yeah, I definitely like can have
some nervous moments where I'm worried that like my word.
Choice was the wrong word choice in that people might take it the
wrong way. You know what I mean?
Yeah, because I still, like, have this mindset that I am
always. So scared to press the go life
and every single time I go live because I don't want, I don't
know what to expect. I don't know who's going to show
up, I don't know what's going to happen.
Technical to fill Techni tech, technical difficulties.
But I think that it's like They eventually have to get over but
yeah, it's out of my control. Like you said, it's you never
really know what's going to happen.
Just gotta hope for the best and see, he's just gonna push start
streaming and call it a day. Yeah, I mean honestly click that
goal. I've been you get to go and then
you see what you want to stream. Like ice cream.
Sims nine times out of the day and or I'll scream like cozy
Grove or it started Valley or not exactly.
I think that People find it hard but I mean it just comes to what
the job. It's right.
He's got to learn the ropes as you go.
He kissed can't figure out, figure it out.
All in one day you can try but you may get a you know learn
here and there play a little bit game.
Oh yeah bad and you're good to go.
But I think that the pros are for me is that the community?
Honestly, the people that you meet the games that you can
play? The new like features that might
be involved on the streaming platform that will enhance your
streaming experience but like the cons of like trolls of
course. Yeah.
Then like the number number system and everything like it's
like a whole numbers game with the whole internet and I hate it
and yeah like whenever it's like every time that I strain, my
think it's been to two years now.
I think. Hmm.
I started like I turned off all of like my numbers.
Like I don't know how many viewers eye My chat at all.
Like I don't get it. I don't look at it because it's
just not, not it, not good. No, like I look at it when I get
an email from extreme elements saying, you got this amount of
viewers and the earnest amount of money.
But I mean, I don't really know who's in my stream.
I think there's like five people in there and like awesome,
great. Those people actually enjoy my
sharing. They wanted to be the right.
And I mean, of course, people work and stuff, but I assume
only five people are there and I'm comfortable comfortable.
With that. So and today's a really good way
of looking at it. Yeah, and I think that when
people who are trying to get into swimming, is that what I
the advice that I've gotten over the years is that for ten?
Someone's there like if pretend that your mom or your dad, or
your friend or some random stranger, I don't know who's
there. But just pretend that someone
staring and continuously to Tong because eventually someone's
going to show up and, you know, interact with you.
And I I've had that mindset for Many years.
So I just kept on talking and talking and talking and talking
and eventually someone showed up.
But, you know, so that's, that's something that I think is a good
thing to like think about if you ever want to go into streaming
and oh, definitely know the pros and cons to.
So there's a lot of different pros and cons.
It's a hard. It's a hard part of streaming is
trying to decide whether or not like the cons are worth it for
the pros. But at least like, for me,
anyway, personally, I would say the pros are Definitely worth
it. Oh yeah, most definite 100%.
I think that when go into the mindset of that, I want to build
a community. Yeah.
And like have fun and then you're good.
That's all. I got things about everything
else. Just don't think about it at
all. Exactly.
I do. Avoid the numbers as best I can.
You definitely see like some version of your numbers when you
go to raid, of course. But I know that the red numbers
don't necessarily reflect the actual numbers so that keeps
missing Did that keeps me sane? Yes.
And I'm kind of glad because, with, with the twitch
achievements, you know those? Yeah, whenever you achieve
something it like, notifies you at this time, I no longer have
any no more cheese. Well, I do have a bunch of
achievements but like, yeah. Number quote, unquote
achievement economy of yours. I have and stuff like that.
Those are our they're gone. They I've already got them,
which is great. Yeah, but now I'm just waiting
like to get a twitchcon ticket and also like The streaming
hours, I've nearly streamed. I think, I don't know, two
hundred and fifty thousand hours on Twitch.
I don't know. Well, I have no idea how many
I'm at, oh my God, it's kind of wild.
Like, when you think about it, when you see those achievements
and like - yeah, that long, yeah, listen to my voice for
that long long. Oh my God.
Yeah, it's a, it's a wild thing to think about.
Oh my God. Yeah, I'm ready to hit the ten
million. Our But that alone for a very
long time, so I totally see you doing that though.
That gosh, I can't wait. Yeah, I only have like five
achievements left. That's it.
Okay. Yeah.
That's not too bad. I honestly, I don't even know
what the achievements are. They neat new one.
They need to add some new achievements.
Yeah, I think so because I feel like that that kind of motivates
people to go even hardened to the paint of.
So truly streaming and motivates them to do something more
exciting or total different. Hmm.
So if you could change something about twitch, what would it be?
Who probably give me the option to not see my red numbers.
First of all, that would be kind of nice to just do go with it
and to be happy with it in terms of other things.
I definitely think that twitch should add the trans tag that
everybody has, of course, been wanting for so long.
I can't believe they haven't done it.
It's really, really devastating, especially to people and trans.
Teas, and people that are trans that are wanting to find trans
communities or trans friendly communities.
That there isn't a trance tag and honestly like I think it's
like one of the biggest things that which needs right now.
Hmm. In addition to having pronouns
as an option. I know that there is that
extension, of course that a lot of people use for pronouns, but
I think to it should have it as an option to oh, 100%.
So yeah, I think those are the two main things for me that I
think twitch really, really does need to actually like, get up
and Start creating one star. Listen people about yes.
I honestly believe that if you like if a platform so big as to
which they should be open to anyone and everyone whether
they're trans by whoever I think yeah you should go, you should
be able to go into the site and feel welcome.
Mhm, mhm. And be seen and heard.
So yeah, that's what I would change to look.
I would honestly at those things.
Yeah, and it's wild because, you know, they're the scum.
Open E that operates out of San Francisco, which is such like, a
liberal and Progressive place yet they have continuously kind
of fallen short on both of those things and it just It's
upsetting to see. And I hope that like one day
after all of the hard work that everybody has been doing with
asking and demanding the trans tag and then also pronounce I
think eventually we are going to get it.
It just it's just going to be a matter of time.
Yeah. And I think ever since last
year, a lot of companies have really sore To listen to a lot
of people and it's made a difference.
And we've seen, we see how we have seen change, which feels
good. Oh yeah, especially like in The
Sims 2 like you know, they did make that one blog post.
I think from Lindsay, similar Lindsay kind of like
acknowledging everyone and everybody's requests of, you
know, like farming and better babies etcetera.
Yeah, it might have been Lindsay.
I'm pretty sure it was. But yeah, it was, yeah, I
remember that because it was like, wow, As soon as she made a
video and yeah, so it's good to be heard and acknowledged and
we'll see hopefully if twitch does the same at least and make
some changes. But for now I guess all we can
do is really like can continue to ask and just keep waiting for
something to happen. Yes.
So a great segue since you don't Sims of with my next topic.
Oh okay. So you said at the beginning
that you start Playing The Sims, like, back in the Sims 1.
Yeah. What was like, your first
memory? Like a memory that you remember?
Oh my goodness. Sims 1.
Because that thing is chaotic, like and yeah, gosh, I would
play the beginning part of that game.
Like it was kind of like a story mode in the beginning.
I don't know if you remember that but like you're in like
this dream sequence, it first and the Sim is is like with
another Sim and they go into the hot tub and they're like making
out or whatever and then you wake up Up and you're in your
mom's house and what did you do? Okay, I've explained this to so
many people and like, some people have also, like not
experienced this, but that's what I experienced was.
The wrong console is on Console, it was on home.
So, yeah, it's so weird. Some people haven't experienced
it that have played the game, and it's something that like,
I've even looked it up on YouTube and it does exist.
It wasn't just like a fever dream.
But you have to try to get out of your mom's house, like the
TV's broken, like your mom It's you like you're trying to like
fix the TV. Oh my goodness.
I should bring this up to like some Greninja out.
Some point in asking, what the heck is going on with people's
memories of this? Because like I know that that is
my memory of it. Okay, I remember, okay, I
actually never played The Sims 1 on console.
Is this played on PC? Okay, I just looked it up.
It was the get a life mode in the gameplay mode of on Console.
Okay? Oh my gosh, that's what I would
play. Yeah.
And I couldn't figure, I could never like, figure out how to
like complete it. So I would just play that over
and over and over again. And that was my experience, this
is one, oh my gosh, I know I never knew that was I had the
Sims 1 on Console but I lost a disk somewhere and I don't know
where my gosh. It's wild how to like my
experience The Sims 1 was on PC and that was all whole other
thing. It was like this like for like
For Corner Dimension. Yep. 2D like map.
And look at the new beef. Am the god family.
The land grabs. Like those OG ones.
Yeah. And it was so weird.
And so different, like there was like a hot day.
And then there was a superstar than, like, at least, like,
there was like, so many, like, packs in The Sims 1.
Yeah, I was like, what is this game?
I never knew, I never knew that what?
It kind of cooling in jail because I was so young.
I was ready to sew. So I was like this game looks so
weird, but so engines the same time but oh my gosh, I did not
even yet with a thing. Yeah, it's it's a thing.
It's very, it's very interesting.
I also, like, when I was playing The Sims 1, like, my experience
is very weird because expansions, like all that stuff
like that didn't like I didn't understand it, I thought it was
like a completely different game.
So I just never asked my parents for like an expansion.
Like I didn't know how it works. Like just I just Played the
vanilla base game. Get a life mode.
I guess over and over again. That was that.
Was it, interesting. Wow.
Yeah. Well, I learned something new
today like and I thought I was a Sim player.
Oh gee. No, no, no.
Yeah, yeah. Like I forgot about my Sims was
like on the DS and stuff and yeah.
Oh man it was Sims when I first played and then I kind of
discovered SimCity. Yeah, that was a whole other.
But I remember Sim City was a game that I just was just an
evil spawn. Like I like havoc on that girl
tornadoes fires hurricanes like everything.
I was like to start the entire life.
My God, my people. I was never like a chaotic
simmer ever and I wish I was. But yeah I never I never played
some city. That was something that never
really are like the herbs never they never really.
Sparked anything in me when I heard about him so never never
did play. Oh My Gosh.
Heck yeah I know I'm going to buy you everything now making
play it. Oh my God.
I'd love to try it. Now these days I would as a kid
though was not for me. Oh, Simms Simms back.
Then. I feel like our parents did not
know they were like, no, no, no. If your parents allowed you to
play The Sims 1 on PC and then like, They saw hot date.
They like, ya know, Simms don't play.
It was as we really liked the first games compared to now now,
now, it's like, it's different because Sims wine.
I there was, I was never allowed to play hot date, but I played
it for the first time, think three years ago and I was like,
what is this bed? It said play in bed and I didn't
understand it. So I'm like, oh, and now I No
no. You know, maybe cuz cuz I call
this time I always thought to have a baby in The Sims.
You just kiss a lot and then getting a vacation and then a
bassinet appears and then like I was like, oh yeah, that's
disgusting. Kissing is awful cooties?
I don't think so. No gym, floors and then the
Sims. He became a thing.
Like then like I understand now. Like oh yeah, yeah yeah, oh how
it's changed. Oh yeah, now we can move who
anywhere in The Sims. For, I don't know.
In, even in a dumpster. It's crazy.
What will they think of next? I know I'm ready for whatever
they have for us, man. I really am.
Hey Bill? Wait, no, do you say?
Hey, oh hey, oh, hey Val. Wait Havel woohoo.
Hmm, for whatever they bring up farming.
Oh my God. Yeah, that'd be great.
Or like an outhouse. Do we have our house whoohoo?
If we do? No, don't have outhouses in The
Sims. I don't think my God.
Okay. No.
Yeah. Right.
Oh my God. I mean honestly, if you have
that over Oh my God, that'd be so funny.
I remember when we got discover University and we got woohoo in
the shower, everyone went ballistic because like finally
showering the wheel hoe because we've been wanting that sense,
like the began the game, but now we have it now.
It's like, oh wow, we have this. Hmm, the last one we had was in
the cave with snow. Yeah, yeah.
That's right. Yeah, that was.
That was so like Niche, though, that you never see people doing
it. Yeah, they would bring your Sims
on vacation and and just like that you'd have to want to go
rock climbing and it's a lot of work.
It is and I was funny because I didn't know how to play some.
I skate for a while because I'm like how do you go rock
climbing? How to get to the Mountaintop?
It's an event. You have to do.
Yeah. So I'm like oh that makes more
sense like that. Okay.
Yeah. If it's too much work for me.
Yeah, I don't like it. The size.
I mean, if I want to exercise, I'll just have my Sims 2 at
which they very rarely ever do it.
The last, the, the most shows that you get is jogging, hmm.
Exactly else. Oh my gosh.
The Sims is has definitely changed in the past, like, 21
years that. Oh yeah, it's been like, it's
been great. But it's also been like bad at
times. Like was the direction that it's
going nowadays? Like, what you say, it's
improved a lot. I would say.
So yeah, they're definitely doing a lot better in Terms of
like, you know, the skin tones that they brought out were
great, they're updating hair texture, which is really, really
nice. I would like to see, like, a lot
of people would like, to see pronouns being added into the
Sims. That would be awesome.
Yes. Um, so I mean, we know that they
are continuously making like, updates and changes.
We're just not getting everything at once, which is,
you know, it would be ideal. But, of course, you know,
they've got a lot to work on, so we're not necessarily going to
get everything at once. Yeah.
Hope that eventually will we get them?
Because I think that it all takes time and don't rush things
with a few rush things, it won't be as what you think it should
be. Like yeah with Seasons like
we've always had an expansion pack was seasons for every
version of The Sims and I kind of like that because if you get
it head on it's not as exciting or it's not as a fully
fleshed-out to the point where it's what you can like use every
day on a daily basis. So yeah.
Yeah, I'm kind of glad that it's they waited for us and packs
because coming from The Sims 3 to the Sims 4 where it was once
an open world. Now, it's all closed off, again,
through the loading screens, like The Sims.
Yeah, to they have to, like, redesign the whole system of
figuring out, where Sims can go and where Sims can't go, and how
they're going to make the Sims, like, how they act on a daily
basis, like personality-wise traits aspirations, All That
Jazz. And I think that it's definitely
better. I kind of like, This way - the
loading screens but I think that it runs better than it does
here. Yeah, yeah.
I've seen how bad the Sims 3 was with like, the loading a nerd.
I'm sorry. Not the loading but the I guess
the startup is just took two too long.
So I just, I don't know, it's hard because we can't
necessarily have like both things true.
So unless we can, I don't know. I don't know what the future of
the Sims 5 holds but I don't know.
I mean I honestly, I mean, it's possible because with the Sims
3, like everything was open to you and it was like everything
was running in the background but I think people still want to
open world for The Sims 4, but it's never going to happen.
I don't think so far. But the best the best like next
best thing that could happen is like open neighborhoods like
wherever your sim. Yeah.
That like sub neighborhood is open to that Sim was.
Yeah. It's much easier that way.
And yeah, I think they should do that for The Sims 5 honestly,
because it would make more sense here.
Hmm. I've no, I didn't do you have an
estimated guess I suppose of when you think the Sims 5 is
going to come out, I think the Sims 5 will probably be around
like it's 2021 right now. So I'm assuming 22, 23 24,
maybe. Yeah, that was my thought as
well. Yeah.
Because we still have a few more years of The Sims For like they
they said and the guru said that we have a few more years, The
Sims 4. And I believe, because we have
so many things that we have had in previous games that we don't
have now, but they are thinking of new ways to enhance do
certain packs to be a little bit better than they were before,
like Generations like pair my God, is it technically
Generations in my opinion? Because it's so neat to the
point where your focus on one thing and that's parenting and
parenting the Parenting skill but not on the other life stages
where it's like, elders and retiring and retirement homes
prom graduation like stuff. Like that is.
Yeah, is a staple of what the Sims has been four years and I
think yeah. And you hmm I think enough
people have been asking for Generations like I'm sure
they're aware that people are wanting it.
So it's just a matter of when. Yeah, I think so, that's true
because I mean I Been saying it for years like so yeah.
Yeah. We'll see.
I mean hopefully they do have at least some sort of generations
thing for The Sims 4 time will tell I suppose.
Hell yeah what's been your favorite feature?
The best and least favorite feature that they have added
into the Sims thus far my gosh, you know, as much as I'd love to
say platforms is like my favorite.
Like honestly like my favorite and least favorite because it's
such a good addition but it's so glitchy and you can't do
everything you want to do with them.
Yeah. So that's like honestly both the
best and worst and in terms of other things and like I'm
speaking just from the mind of a builder here I do like the idea
of kits especially for like building.
I think it'll be great. I don't know necessarily about
the game player cast stuff personally but I Did really like
the kitchen pack that they came out with.
Yeah the kitchen kit I should say.
I think that is going to be good especially when they come out
with like building stuff. I'm very, very excited for that.
Yeah, yeah. I think it just comes back to
platforms as being both the best and the worst addition that
they've had because it just Sparks so much joy.
But I'm just also so frustrated, yeah, a little bit, yeah, I'm
same way, I would say maybe the best that they have added is
like terrain tools, which If you have not used properly.
Yeah, like intimidated by it. I don't know what to do, so
don't touch it. But platforms, have probably
been the best and worst. Yeah, they have added into the
game because it's one. Yeah, it's glitchy, but it's so
helpful to have a multi-level homes.
Yeah, but it's like, it's great. But I'm like, oh no.
No, no. I don't want to deal with all
that bad. No, have half my walls being
deleted. No, no, yeah.
And just I don't know. There's like there's a lot that
You think that you'll be able to do when you're using the tool
and then it's suddenly like oh no it doesn't do this or note
that deleted part of the platform and like placing
objects on the outside of like walls are like placing plants
and the outside of walls that have platforms.
It will like act as if there's a platform there too.
And I'm just like, I mean, like thankfully there's tool but yeah
it's still like should not be working that way in my opinion,
so just got to deal with it. Yeah, it'll patch it in the
future. I don't know.
So I was talking, I was talking to a Mixie about this was too,
like it's changed so much for the community because he just
made a simple mod and then it just grew even more and more and
more over the years that it's changed.
The way people build, and storytelling in The Sims, like,
oh yeah, rotate things in a weird angle and you can make a
floating house if you want it to and yep, tell a whole story
about and how it became to be like it's so Imaginative on how
the Sims 4 has been working. After all these years.
Like, I feel like the Sims 4 has lasted this long because of the
community and how creative it is.
I actually think so, monitors are like, what makes the game so
good? Oh my God.
Yeah, cuz I feel like The Sims team.
They, I feel like they've, they acknowledge the modding
community, and the and seniors, and I'm glad that they do
because I feel Like if it wasn't for them, I personally think
that we wouldn't have certain packs, if it wasn't for cc
craters, modders, totally even though see what people are
making, and they can do things based off that, which is a
great. Yeah.
Look, even though the devs are very creative and imaginative
people, and then working on the Sims him for like years.
I think when you collab with certain people or you get
inspiration for certain people, it can make the game better or
yes. Um what's a par?
Oh yeah, I totally agree. It's been really, really great.
Like when I first started playing like building in The
Sims 4, I download it just like every like bit of CC possible.
Like whether it's alpha or Maxis match or in between, I didn't
care like I just got it all. I don't build with CC anymore
but holy heck. That was like, I was a kid in
the candy store with all these, like, free items right into my
game. Yeah.
Oh my gosh, I was toast. Prized that it was free just all
of it was free and I was wild to me free 99 399.
Although I definitely do recommend supporting a cc
creators on their patreons if you do 100%.
Oh yes. And like also like what I like
is that with Sims web sites, they have grown over the years
like some fan websites that but the Sims resource.
They pay their like their feature, constructed creators
for the content that they make, which is Is so amazing.
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
I cannot believe a simple fan website who shares custom
content and they see pay them like what?
Yeah. As wild taking someone's Hobby
and like, giving them money for is just like an incredible
incredible thing. And I think we all have to think
will write for that because without will write, none of us
would have a job. Oh my goodness, gosh.
Like honestly, I feel like The Sims.
Yeah. It's a good point.
We wouldn't like yeah, you know? Yeah, I would probably be played
a robot still. Oh gosh.
What a plane Animal Crossing or stardew Valley or Minecraft?
Yeah, I've heard it but I would refute super.
Oh gosh, that would be something, there's Akash
Minecraft. I do really like Minecraft.
So let's be honest. I was just a Minecraft Disney
last night. Have you heard about that?
Yeah, I haven't been but it's looks.
I think I have ones like years ago, but it's so hot.
They do such a good job. It's so cool.
I need to go back. Yeah, you really should.
They've really, really like updated, every single land and
everything. It looks so like, of course,
it's Minecraft, right? But it still, it still looks
great for what it is. Oh yeah, definitely.
No wonder they have Six Flags. They have, oh no, I don't know
about Six Flags. They have Busch Gardens and like
Universal Studios and I'm trying to think of something there's
something. Going on, I don't remember.
Oh yeah, I gotta go. I gotta go.
Yeah, it's so much fun. I have missed it so so much.
I've got like two years. Gosh.
It's been forever. I talked about like the real
Parks. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I know.
It's been a while for me, too. Yeah.
So the other question I did want to ask you, is that what are you
hoping? The Sims will add to the game
like, for the future, for The Sims 4.
Cool. I mean, I'm hoping for farming,
I think that'd be great generations.
Of course. And you know pronouns would also
be an awesome thing. What a lot of people have been
kind of hoping for at least in my community.
Anyway is a plant kit. Yes.
Oh my God. That would be a dream.
I hope. I hope it's possible.
I don't know if it's like even something in the works.
I have no reason to believe it's in the works but I really really
Really would like a plant kit. That'd be just the best thing
ever. I will be a dream, a plant kit
and like my community was also saying that we would love to
have like a builder's kit or some type of like yeah, bad kid.
I don't know. It's like something like along
the line. Yeah.
Having more variety things that are lacking in the build and
behind the plants curtains, a lot of build and buy stuff like
beds and stuff. Yeah, and I'd like more like
Basics to when it comes to building.
So because I I know a lot of like the stuff that we have
comes with wacky patterns sometimes and I just, I just
want a bed with like, you know, a single color duvet on it.
I just want it simple. Sometimes and sometimes you look
be looking through swatches and you'll see like a pink comforter
and like to Green pillows. And you're like, who came up
with this? How am I supposed to ever use
this? So, like just having something
with very like, basic color, swatches, like some neutrals,
like stuff like that. Be so nice.
Oh my God. So it would I wonder like if the
upper add in like, slider that we have?
Oh my God. God.
That'd be very cool to have him build and buy.
Yeah, I mean, honestly it's a step up because when we got cats
and dogs, we got the color wheel and everything and then we get
the slider for the cast like, a couple months ago, or so.
Yeah, things are changing for the better.
Yeah, it's certainly like anything's possible.
They can, it's just a matter of whether or not, they'll create
it. So, I will be patiently, waiting
over in my little corner hoping for the best especially like
pronouns, of course, I think is like number one, so we will see
ya. So on the next topic I would say
you love charity. Don't you?
Oh certainly. Yes, indeed.
So So and like resting that you bring that up, what why did you
decide to start like fundraising for charity?
Like what motivates you to do it?
Oh my gosh, just knowing that you've helped.
People is just a huge huge thing and seeing all the people that
come in with incredibly generous donations, whether it's a dollar
or whether it's just something insane, like 500 1000 dollars,
stuff like that. Is just it's so incredibly
heartwarming. But obviously number one.
Number one for me is just knowing that you've been able to
make a difference in someone's life.
That is huge. That is so huge.
Oh yeah. So that is definitely what
motivates me to do charity and it's been a really great time
this past month that we've had with hope for Haiti.
Oh my goodness. Yes.
I literally cannot believe that we had a pickle of 10K.
We'd like all 10K, seems easy. Yeah.
Just one raised that my can see how it goes.
Yeah. Yeah.
We broke then like a day or two and then kept going and go yep
go and then just became a whole big thing and now we're over 90k
over $90,000 that is just wild like that's that's a one year
scholarship for 90 kids technically which is so crazy.
I It's so hard to like, wrap your mind around like that, much
money is going to be going to such an incredible incredible
cause and that's definitely. What keeps me going.
What keeps me wanting to go back to doing charity streams whether
it's for a day or whether it's, for a month, it doesn't matter.
Like it's huge me too. I honestly, I always go hard in
the paint of like, starting the day of a charity event with a,
like, a 12 hours and kicking it. Off hard and see what we have to
do and it's like whether it's for like a day or, you know, an
hour's look, you said it. It's very exciting to see how
much of an impact you can have on somebody, whether you raise
$1 or $2 or $10,000 and yeah, it's just like, charity is fun.
No matter my God, what it is for?
Oh yes, for a charity organization that you believe in
a person and other things as well.
But I think that it all boils down to like, doing good for the
world. Oh yeah.
We're only in this.
World for, you know, like sixty to ninety to a hundred years who
knows how long we'll live but like yeah, we will we
technically have it better than so.
So many people in the world and doing charity streams is such a
good way to help people. At least take one step closer to
having a better life and I think that's an incredible, incredibly
important important thing to do. If someone does have the means
to do it. It.
And I will always always do my best to put other people first
when I can exactly same here. You have any like, Charities you
want to do this year? Um, I would like to work with
anti bullying or bullying prevention.
Charity would be really, really nice.
I know of some, it's just a matter of choosing which one.
But yeah, I've been really, really heavily considering that
One for myself, in the future, it's good.
Yeah, some way I always have like my Staples.
Like now, hope for Haiti, has been like my staple shared.
I just do every year. Oh yeah, like them.
And then like st. Jude.
I like the two that I always always do.
They always believe and I do it every year.
Yeah. And then like, honestly, I don't
know. I always seem to do my two or
three years because it's think it's important to do them.
Like whenever you can. Or whenever you feel like the
most inspired to do something very exciting for that set
charity? Oh yeah, definitely.
But now that we're at the end of the podcast episode, I do have
some rapid fire questions that are not rapid-fire because every
time they just become a long thought-provoking question that
you'd like, you think, okay, I'm ready.
So, the first question is, What is your favorite music group at
the moment? Favorite musician, just always
for years and years now, Ty Segall is incredible.
Garage rock, musician. Love him so much.
That's cool. It's not Malcolm or no.
No no it's not as much as people like to say.
I'm at go more, I am not Macklemore, the code is going to
be retired saying Source or whatever you say.
The other question is, what is your favorite video game at this
time? Oh my gosh, I always loved the
Sims but Ori and the blind forest was, like hands down.
One of the best experiences. I've had playing a video game
ever. Oh, I've heard things about that
game, and it looks so cool. It's a beautiful beautiful game
from the like the dialogue to the the graphics to the music to
the story. Everything is perfect.
It's a perfect game. In my opinion, I feel like I
have it but I don't remember. You have to play it.
You have. To, oh my God.
Eventually, I will have to, of course.
Next one is knowing what you know.
Now, what if I would you give to your younger self?
Oh my goodness. Um, that's a big question.
I would tell my younger self that you might not believe in
yourself now, but you are going to believe in yourself one day
and just to continue. Moving forward.
Also don't let people walk all over you.
That's another one. Yes, I agree.
Very good, very good. Um, the other one is, how do you
define success? Oh, I know that's a big one
because I feel like success is always changing and there's
never like an end point to success.
Success is just like when you personally feel like you have
done something as I've said in the past, like and York.
Continuing to do things. I think it's like, not just like
settling for, like one achievement.
It's like continuing to move forward.
And I think I think that, honestly, it on its, on its own
as success in my opinion. Oh yeah, I agree.
I think that, at the end the day is that like what we were saying
about twitch partners that? Yeah.
Like, when you get twitch Partners, like that's not
success. Look at me.
You may achieve something. Yeah, you know, getting that
check. Mark.
Awesome. Eight.
But like that's not the end of your success.
Like using knock all this money for nothing.
You did. Yeah.
You'd have all these followers know you're continually to grow
and they're going to continue to find success that makes you
happy. Oh yeah.
I totally agree. Yeah.
Honestly I feel like that people need to have that mindset or
we're looking into the to have that change that term of like
what success means to a person. Yeah and what twitch partner
really means. They have look at which standard
but like what does twitch partner really, really mean.
Yeah. Person.
So exactly. But yeah.
