My plans for 2025

Today is the first of January, Happy New Year! I hope you're all doing very well.

Here's my plans for the new year. I will continue making loads of StarCraft 2 content in 2025, and who knows, maybe I will begin casting other games too (another RTS) if something comes along but YouTube uploads will continue coming your way.

In Janua...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody, and a happy new year!

Thank you for all your support this year! I hope you have a fantastic holiday season filled with lots of games. :D

My plans for December

Hello everyone!

November has been another solid month with loads of games and another StarCraft 2 offline event in the books. I just got back home yesterday from HomeStory Cup 26, despite some internet issues it was really good to meet all the StarCraft nerds in Krefeld once again. I met a few of the Patrons as well, which was great!

My plans for November

Hello Patrons!

First off, thank you for all the happy birthday wishes! It still blows my mind how sooo many people reach out every year. <3

Some of the Patreon supporters got together and gifted me half a dozen Warhammer boxes. They figured out (with some help from Lauranne) which minis I’d been eyeing and ended up getting pre...

My plans for October

Hello Patrons!

Another month, another update. Somehow it feels like this year is flying by, as we are already in the 4th(!) quarter of 2024.

This month, I’m going to continue casting StarCraft 2 (of course), and I will continue streaming games (obviously!). I have no offline or online events scheduled for October, so that means loa...

My plans for September

This month has a few big releases that I want to check o...

Viewer Tournament #6

Hello!

Next week on Saturday (Feb 3rd) the next viewer tournament will take place. Anyone can play up until Diamond 1 (so no Masters or Grandmasters players). Signups are open for Patreon supporters first and will open up for everyone next week.

Hindsight is 2020

Well 2020 is officially one of the longest years in history (I mean, it was literally a leap year) and it's nice to be able to say Happy New Year!

All things considered, 2020 wasn't so bad for me personally. I'm grateful that I could continue doing what I do despite the world situation as it is. Let's hope 2021 will be better though (altho...

Sales tax & Patreon

Hi everyone,

Quick update regarding sales tax on Patreon. I was recently notified that due to laws passing in several countries, Patreon is required to start charging a sales tax on some pledges starting on July 1st.

The amount in general should be relatively small, but I wanted to make sure everyone is aware. For example sales tax r...
