Yesterday: Major tech issues, had a legit breakdown, very nearly quit streaming Today: Fixed the issues, got raided 3 times (most times that's ever happened in a stream), and had a VERY productive Sims build stream. I would very much like it for the roller coaster to level out, please.

So the Sims shirt I got at TwitchCon? They did not get the proportions right at ALL. I got a 2XL and if I lift my arms up even the tiniest bit, it's a crop top. A shame, because it's actually comfy as hell. Good inside shirt, I guess.

Hey folks! I'm still in TwitchCon recovery mode (and I have a TON to do) so here's a simple schedule! Tue 10/21 **12 PM PDT** - TwitchCon chatting & the new game BALL X PIT Wed 10/22 11 AM PDT - Sims 4 Thu 10/23 11 AM PDT - Sims 4 And this Sat is (tentatively) the unpaused Sims stream!

Semi-related to this: a hearty 🖕to the blond woman working at the Sims booth today who was INCREDIBLY rude to me - doubly so when a Sims team member corrected her on something she told me. I wish I had a better way of getting in touch with whoever worked the booth because it was NOT cool.

Back at the hotel, and my TwitchCon journey is pretty much wrapping up since I fly back tomorrow morning. I would say overall, this trip was a net positive! But I’ll talk all about it next time I stream (99% sure it’ll be on Tuesday but I’ll get a schedule up when I can)

I’m a simple man. I see a Date Everything! print for sale, I buy it.

I’ve been… kind of networking a little here at TwitchCon? Who is he? Though I will say bringing stickers (as casual as they were made) was a smart idea. Good job, past Storm.

Totally forgot to post my haul from yesterday! Most of it was swag from the Sims community meetup - the candle (a stove because of course stoves cause fires in The Sims) was part of a trivia prize that I won there too.

And another awesome streamer I got to met today! The infamous 999 Challenge guy TheAlGoreRhythm!

Got to meet THE RachelCave, maybejennifer and rosanatxt during the Sims meetup! Also got some hella good swag I’ll post a haul of later.

Ready for day 1 of TwitchCon!

I think I just got shafted... signed up for only 1 TwitchCon Meet & Greet session and I didn't even get picked.

The fact that this post got absolutely no engagement kinda tells me everything I need to know!

Genuine question, & I really would like feedback: I know I don't post on a ton on here (honestly, I'm just not sure what to post besides occasional go live posts) but... am I just invisible? I feel like everything I post gets no engagement and it's making me consider nuking this account entirely.

Not sure how this will relate with regards to be playing Sims on stream... but the chances are highly likely that after Adventure Awaits launches, that's the last money I ever give to The Sims. (and part of me is now really glad I didn't get accepted into the EA Creator Network)

Sad that it’s been delayed, but at least it’s still happening? Hopefully? https://nintendoeverything.com/professor-layton-and-the-new-world-of-steam-delayed-to-2026-new-trailer/

So I'm working on creating my own #Sims4 legacy challenge... say hello to my playtest's gen 2 heir, Stefan. Got one dad's hair and the other dad's face and complexion 🤣 #ShowUsYourSims #BornIn1974Challenge

Folks we've got just under 3 weeks left before tours! If you see this and can boost, it would be amazing if you could - I feel like I have zero reach here and I don't want to end up touring just one or two builds. That would do WONDERS for my current self-esteem /s

Getting really fucking tired of having to reboot my PC twice in a row every single stream day in order to get OBS and Mix it Up to work with each other.

Hey, folks - gotta cancel stream for today. I'll be combining today's stream with the one planned for tomorrow, so it'll be the Sims decorate my shell at 11 AM PDT, followed by cooking around 3PM-ish tomorrow. Thanks for understanding!

I wasn't expecting a lighthearted game about a guy possessing various objects in his life to make me cry, but Henry Halfhead was surprisingly poignant. It's a short game but worth it.

My GOAT 🗣️

🥳 Special Stream on Wednesday! GIVING AWAY $100 in Nintendo eShop credit, VIDEOGAMES, Palia outfits, and Palia PLUSHIES, while raising money for children in CONGO!! And if we reach our goal, I will dye my beard PINK! This is also my follower milestone celebration, so I hope to see you there!! Eeeee!

Hey folks! Next week is gonna be fun, doing some of the goal achievement streams from the recent Summer of Storm streamathon. See you next week!

Nintendo, you need to give us some more breadcrumbs about the new Professor Layton game allegedly coming out... sometime, now? Cuz I'm starting to believe it's vaporware at this point.

BOOOOOOOO. I get that delays happen but BOOOOOOO.

Say, are you...Awaiting Adventure? I'm giving away 1 copy of the newest Sims 4 EP (thanks to the #EACreatorNetwork!) and you could be the lucky winner! 🗻 Entry and more details at hihellorachel.tv/giveaway 🗻 (Giveaway closes Sunday October 5, winner announced on stream!) #Ad

Folks! I'm live! And remembering to post it here! Come join me as I catch up after my absence, then watch me struggle in CAS to make a founder for my WIP legacy challenge! www.twitch.tv/stormmartine...

Hey folks! It's been an eventful week (got physically sick, some mental stuff that's nothing bad, celebrating the Sounders win more silverware) but I'm back to streaming! Easing in, but I'm back. I'll be on this Wednesday and Thursday at 11 AM PDT to catch up and play some Nikki and Sims 4!

Oh no how did this game find its way into my cart oh no

What's this? Storm doing a... SHELL CHALLENGE??? Yes, folks, you heard that right. Also, when uploading, please follow the numbering on the following map: docs.google.com/presentation... If you're a Simmer and you see this, a repost would be amazing! I'd love to have a ton of builds to tour.

The benefit of being both a Seattle Sounders fan and a Stardew player is that cosplaying in his summer outfit when I go to the concert next week is gonna be HELLA easy.

Folks the Summer of Storm continues! Timer increases have been cut in half as I can no longer run a gift sub bundle promo, but we're still gonna chill and have fun just as much! See you this week!

Okay streamer friends, searching is getting me nowhere… anyone know how to get Mix it Up and OBS to get the connection good and stay that way? I’ve been having to reboot my PC and update the connection in Services **every** time. And now it seems I have to reboot twice to get it to connect.

We're LIVE with day 2 of the Summer of Storm streamathon! Starting with some Sims 4, and maybe some Murder By Numbers or Date Everything afterwards? www.twitch.tv/StormMartinE...

Forgot to post about going live for the streamathon but... HOLY CRAP. We smashed the sub goal day 1. Started at 8 hours, and it's now up to almost 40. I'm just a streamer who feels invisible most of the time. Thank you. At any rate, the streamathon continues at 10 AM PDT Wednesday!

Folks, it's almost time! The Summer of Storm streamathon happens this Tuesday at 9 AM PDT. All incentives below (plus a 1 hour extension for every raid). On Tuesday I'll be streaming the early access release of Super Farming Boy, and you might see Dad on your Twitch front page!

I wasn't expecting Date Everything to give me as many feels as I've been feeling so far. It's just so different feeling seen in a bunch of different ways. I'm gonna be sad when this playthrough is done. I'll stick with it of course but I wish I could play this for the first time every time.

I'm live and we're back at it with more Date Everything! I've got a long list of objects to be Realized so let's get to it! www.twitch.tv/StormMartinE...

I said watch this space and here it is! Next Tuesday I'll be starting a streamathon to celebrate 2 years as a Twitch Affiliate! I'll be streaming Super Farming Boy on Tuesday and... your friendly neighborhood Twitch dad might end up on the front page??? What? 🤣

Schedule for the week! Also, watch this space for a streamathon announcement for Tuesday the 12th!

Took first steps towards crossing off one of the oldest entries on my "streamer to-do" list... getting things done? Who is this man and why did he replace Martin?

As I’ve always said… never meet your heroes unless it’s Stefan Frei.

Also, folks... I'm sorry but if your BSky profile includes the title graphic designer and you have no posts of your own and barely follow anyone... I'm pre-emptively blocking you. Sorry if it catches strays but all that sets off my scam/spam alarms.

Stream schedule for next week, folks (also, I need to know if people are even seeing these because if no one cares that I post my schedules here, I'll just keep them to my Discord, honestly)

Second time I gave up on a feedback survey from The Sims because they went waaaay too extreme in the combo of (1) things to rate and (2) followup granularity for each reaction.

We're live! Streaming game #12 of 25 in '25 - a fun-looking village builder, The Wandering Village! (In case I need to legally say this, thank you Dare Drop for the game key!) www.twitch.tv/StormMartinE...

So I forgot to post a schedule last week - apologies! At any rate, it's a busy week coming up... Mistria update on Monday, a sponsored game or two on Tuesday, and then more Date Everything and Sims as usual. See you then!

Live now with some Sims 4 50 Baby Challenge (because 100 is just too much) www.twitch.tv/StormMartinE...
