Welcome To My Twitch Blog

Hello, welcome to my Twitch blog.
I'm AaronShack64 and I am an entertainer/musician on the streaming website Twitch.
You can find my content and contact information from a variety of sources.

Here you will find a little bit of everything. From in depth reviews on games, software, products, etc. to thoughts and discussions on streaming, a journal for the thoughts of a streamer and entertainer. A place for me to more closely share more detailed thoughts at length and be able to showcase who I am and what I provide.

I've been streaming since October 2014 on my Xbox One, I eventually progressed to streaming from my laptop in 2016 when I like to think I took streaming from a hobby to more of a business model. In March of 2018 I built a gaming PC live on stream with the help of a very dear friend and since then I've streamed a variety of games, music, comedy, live voice acting and other forms of entertainment.
I consider myself a variety streamer with what I would call a blessing to be able to always have the latest tech and the latest games and to be able to share these things with others, whether for entertainment or for them to ask for a sales pitch of whatever game or product I'm using. I always try to approach things with a positive attitude even if something is not towards my liking or not for me. I feel that more unbiased approach keeps me objective and makes a so called review sound less like a rant and more like appreciation and constructive criticism. My experience and willingness to always help others leads me to my next point.

I created a community for streamers on September 25th 2017 called Streamer_Nexus. I wanted to unite people I had met throughout my time streaming and keep in close contact with them. I knew that keeping a small group of dedicated streamers that would visit each others streams because they genuinely cared for each other. Along with hosting, retweeting, and reacting on twitter. I figured out the best way to grow was not to do it alone but to do it alongside others and each at our own pace. No matter what level the streamer is at or what their future goals are, they would be welcome in the Nexus and allowed to network within it. I also host the Streamer_Nexus Podcast where we meet to interview a streamer in the community, we ask questions and the chat; full of Nexus streamers and others are allowed to submit questions and be a part of the conversation. This allows people within the Nexus and outside the Nexus to know more about this streamer and to allow basis for connection.
It's a place to get feedback on emotes, show off your stream setup, brainstorm ideas, share you greatest moments, your jokes, your faults, and have people willing to support and collaborate with you throughout all of that. Keep the group small and tight knit has helped us remain supportive and close, grow in a manageable way and accomplish goals gradually as we can handle them appropriately. We keep the community clean, no racism, sexism, homophobic slurs etc. We treat others well even if we don't get that back. In streaming your reputation means so much so it is good to establish the rules of a community and everyone involved early on.

I will be posting here as often as I can. I have twitch, twitter, youtube, discord, and more. Please feel free to get in touch with me from any of the links above and become a part of this journey. I'm excited about this next chapter in my adventures in streaming and I hope you are too.
Thank you for reading, listening, watching, and supporting me and all of the community in these endeavors. Take care and I'll see you around.
