Monthly code: October

Hey hey everyone, it's creepy month!! This is the perfect month to stream and/or play all those horror games you've been putting off - or to replay some classics. A personal favourite of mine is Alien: Isolation, which I guess isn't really that much of a horror game and is more suspense/thriller (although when I first played it years ago, I was terrified and had to actually take breaks. I ended up loving it though).

Some games on the docket list for me to revisit are... At Dead of Night...

Monthly code: September

Hey hey! It's that month that Earth, Wind and Fire made a song about! I don't know about y'all, but I am EXHAUSTED. If I didn't have much free time before, I definitely do not now. My partner and I recently got a husky puppy. We had already been planning to get a dog this year, but were planning on a cockapoo or golden retriever, both of which are fairly good dogs (so I've heard) for beginners. But, the opportunity fell into our laps and now, two weeks later, here we are. It's been a lot of u...

Monthly code: August

Hey everyone! It's my favourite month of the year- August. The height of summer, and just relaxing warm evening vibes. Although, saying that, I got back from a holiday to Rome this month, and had an amazing time, but the heat was really something else. It was insane. Temps hit 40°C almost (approx 104°F)! Fortunately our apartment had AC, which I think is rare in Europe, but boy am I glad we had it.

We also went to a pasta-making class and learned how to make pasta carbonara from scrat...

Monthly code: July

Hey y'all!! We are officially a week and change over the summer solstice, which means the days are going to slowly start getting shorter. Not by much, but just very slightly. It's a weird thought, and I guess it doesn't really feel like it until daylight saving ends. I was in Munich for work recently- the heat and long warm evenings were lovely (for getting to see some of the city after work) ☺️ Do y'all have any favourite activities during the summer?

Anyway, this month's code (100...

Monthly code: June

Hello fellow June-enjoyers! I've had an insane last few weeks and have just been everywhere (emotionally, kind of physically?) - last Tuesday I sadly had to attend a funeral, on Thursday I celebrated at an old school friend's wedding, and then Saturday was another friend's birthday. So it was almost the full cycle of life, but maybe in reverse. So yes, I've been stretched thin a little, but there we go. Life goes on.

Ah also I'll be at TwitchCon Rotterdam in a few days, if anyone is aro...

Monthly code: May

Hey hey, happy May! I'm writing this now with slightly bruised limbs, having been pelted at my first ever airsoft outing (thanks to joining a friend's stag do). Let's just say that I have an immense appreciation of FPS game characters being able to crouch repeatedly without (seemingly) much effort, because boy oh boy, I did not realise exactly how tiring on the knees and legs it would be in real life. Anyone ever played airsoft or paintball and can relate? Do you enjoy it? I would say it was ...

Monthly code: April

Heylo! It's officially spring! And so daylight savings have started in Europe. Ironically, I'd been aware the entire week, and then on the weekend, while out celebrating a friend's birthday, time jumped from 1AM to 2AM and I didn't realise until the next morning. THAT was a trip 😂 I wondered why I felt so tired. But... I'll gladly take the time loss in exchange for the longer warm summery evenings.

I've been monitoring the update I made last month to the Triggerfyre overlay, and it s...

Monthly code: March

Hey hey! We are officially out of winter (calendar-wise, at least).

I got to celebrate my birthday last month, which was both exciting and minorly existential crisis inducing (...yay, I'm older...)- but regardless, I got to celebrate it with the people I love, and Twitch friends were visiting London from across the pond (not for me, just a happy coincidence). Have you ever organised a mini community meetup with your Twitch friends? It's definitely exhausting playing "host" 😂

On...

Monthly code: February

Hey everyone! Happy February. Hope you're all doing well and had a great start to the year. Mine was good, albeit a little rocky... But we're upon a new month! How did everyone do with their goals for the first month? I actually barely went geocaching in January, so I may slightly have my work cut out for me in the next few months... we'll see 😂

Anyway, this month's code (100 slots, 20 per category): 7CK92NB2

Hope you all have a lovely month ahead, and I'll ch...

Monthly code: January

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We're in 2025! If you were fortunate enough to have some time off over the holidays, I hope you had a great time, recharging, or spending it with friends and family ☺️ If you didn't, I hope you get some time soon to do so!

Do any of y'all have any goals for the new year? Either related to stream, or personal? (if you want to share). One personal goal I have is to do more geocaching for this year! I already made a great start towards the end of 2024, but I would love...

Monthly code: December

Happy holidays y'all!! It's that time of year again, can you believe it's almost 2025? I think this has definitely been one of the fastest years I've personally experienced (of the last couple years at least) and I actually have no idea why.

Are there any things you're looking forward to celebrating in the new year, or any goals you're thinking of working towards? For me, I recently got into geocaching (again? I've had my account since 2016 but never used it properly) and I'm making it ...

Monthly code: November

Hello and happy November!!

Hopefully everyone had a great scary month (if you celebrate). I spent yesterday afternoon carving my pumpkin (my first time ever!) and it didn't turn out terrible actually, so I'm pretty proud of it 😂 Although now we're in the weird inbetween state of having gone past Halloween, but still having the weekend, and then into the winter holidays celebrations! Not a huge fan of the cold weather, but definitely down for hot chocolate and warm cosy inside time �...

Monthly code: October

Howdy everyone, happy October! Hope everyone is doing great! Got back from TwitchCon San Diego last week and had a great time! Was also great to see some of y'all at the con as well! Might've gotten a little cough now, but thankfully nothing major which might've been from all the screaming on the rides :|

But aside from that it's scary game month! I'm planning on playing a few and could use some recommendations if anyone has any, currently I have At Dead of Night and the Fear to Fathom ...

Monthly code: September

Hey gang! Happy September! I hope you're all doing amazing. I've been working a lot unfortunately, but it's been really nice keeping busy. Makes me appreciate the downtime in life just a little bit more. Trying to carve out some proper time for myself to watch shows and movies though, because I've been lacking! If y'all have any recommendations PLEASE drop them below!

ALSO if anyone's headed to TwitchCon San Diego in just over two weeks, drop a comment or message me! I still have some p...

Monthly code: August

IT'S SO HOT. I am literally melting into a puddle on the ground. The UK (and probably most of Europe I guess) is absolutely not built for the heat 😂 I think we reached highs of 26 or 27C here (approx 81F) which apparently is fairly temperate for the US folks (????). I just can't imagine how y'all survive out there.

Anyway, assuming this code hasn't also melted into something unreadable, this month's code (100 slots, 20 per category): WK3CVH8D

Monthly code: July

Hello future people in July! I'm writing this from a few days ago in June because I'll be in Rotterdam this weekend for TwitchCon! I heard there'll be a heatwave, and I seriously hope it won't be a repeat of the last two years where the heat has been unrelenting and unbearable 😭

The problem is that much of Europe (or well, at least the UK) isn't really built for heat, i.e. no AC. It's 26C here in Brighton, UK, at the moment and that's already a little much. What sort of temperatures ...

Monthly code: June

Hello!! Sorry for the slightly later post today, I've been visiting my parents and attending a wedding celebration! It's been nice getting to hang out with family I haven't seen in a while, being around the hometown and familiar digs again.

It's June though! TwitchCon Rotterdam is at the end of the month- I'll be in attendance so please let me know if you're planning on going! I still have some pins available to give out and would love to get them into your hands!

For now though, ...

Monthly code: May

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a good April, we're into May now!

What has everyone been up to recently? I recently took my first PTO from work for the first time this year, went on a family holiday to Greece. I haven't been away with my family since 2015, so that was really nice, to be able to hang out with them on vacation again. The weather was generally pretty amazing, so that was also a welcome change from the chaotic weather of the UK 😂 If you could choose somewhere, anywher...

Monthly code: April

Hello hello! It's April 1! Hopefully you've not taken anything too seriously today. I was already rick-rolled once this morning and decided to log off socials for today 😂 and maybe I'll just wait for this to blow over.

Not sure if the US get the long Easter weekend, but I hope that if you did, that is was restful, chill, and a much needed break from all the stressful life stuff. Maybe you were able to squeeze in a stream here or there, like I did!

This month's code (100 slots, ...

Monthly code: March

Happy March! You know you've maybe been playing too much Lethal Company with friends when you think of March and think of the moon instead of the month 😬

Not sure if anyone else's been playing it, but I've been finding LC to be a really great game to play with friends, not only is it not very demanding of a game to run, but the easy-to-understand gameplay loop means I've been able to play with a lot of friends I might not have imagined playing something with! Among Us and Fall Guys a...

Monthly code: February

Hello!! It's that time of month again 😊 I hope the first month of everyone's brand new year went ok! Or if it didn't, then I hope things pick up for you this month. It feels like the start of month went by really fast, then it started to slow down a lot towards the end, but maybe that's just me.

My boiler broke halfway through the month which was extremely unfortunate 😢 We've had some freezing cold temperatures here in the UK, and having no heating or hot water was... n...

Monthly code: January

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Not sure if was just me, but December FLEW BY. We're now in 2024! Hopefully everyone had some really good holidays (maybe even some more to go), and got some quality rest time in. If you didn't, then I hope you get some in the coming weeks.

If you're setting some New Year's resolutions (actual ones that is lol), what are they? (You don't have to share if they're super personal!)- any stream related ones? Goals for the end of the year can be a good way to set something t...

Monthly code: December

Hello!! Not sure whereabouts in the world y'all are based, but it's absolutely freezing here right now. Technically I guess winter has started, but still 😭 What's the temperatures like where you all are?

Speaking of winter and potentially holiday streams, I wanted to surface a tool I worked on a while ago, it's called Pype! If you're revamping your stream overlays for the holidays and wanted to custo...

Monthly code: November

Hey everyone! Hope y'all had a great scary month! I just got back from Las Vegas last month and had a great time. Vegas itself wasn't amazing, (so expensive! 😭 How do people live there???) but seeing all my friends and making new ones was a blast.

Can you believe we'll have finished 2023 in two months' time? Let's finish the year strong! If you have any goals you're aiming to complete before the end of the year, share them below!

In any case, this month's code... (100 ...

Monthly code: October

Hallo! It's that time of year again: spooky season! Does anyone have anything exciting planned this month for their streams? Do you like to play horror games? Personally I'm terrible with horror games, not really because I get scared (I do) but because I'm terrible with properly vocalising my horror reactions. I get scared, but I don't always show it on my face (unless it's a major jumpscare). Does that make sense? 😂 But then again I was never really a game streamer, so maybe streaming mor...

Monthly code: September

Hello everyone! Can you believe that it's already SEPTEMBER?? There are FOUR more months until the end of the year 😭 Pretty insane. But hopefully everyone is doing well? I've fortunately gotten a lot better since the start of the month! (I was ill) - went through a bunch of personal things, lots of ups and downs still, but hopefully things smooth out soon 😅

I'm thinking of starting coworking streams soon! I don't really know if it's something I'd be good at doing, but I feel like ...

Monthly code: August

Hey everyone! Happy August! Gonna keep this one short this month because I'm a bit sick at the moment unfortunately 😭 To everyone I had the pleasure of meeting at TwitchCon in Paris, thank you so much! I hope you all had a fantastic time there- I certainly had a blast.

Anyway- the code this month (100 slots, 20 per category):  6A3A2RHJ

Wherever you are in the world, have a safe, fun and productive month! ❤️
