I will no longer be streaming Spirittea. This whole post is a big ick.
Saying you don't want to pay influencers then complaining no-one covered it while showing a screenshot showing that creators HAVE covered their game for FREE, why should we continue to give up our time? ๐
Also, indie game devs, learn from this. You don't have to pay us to make content.
If we love the game, we'll make the content anyway but please don't shit on our efforts or blame us for your game not doing well on a certain platform.
Content creation is hard enough as it is.
Looks like no-one covered it. Not a single content creator made content for
@nomorerobotshq
Spirittea on YouTube according to

.
Absolutely no influencer support. Really? ๐ค

"Zero YouTube coverage"? I see
@MadMorphTV
and
@cozygamingclub
making content for FREE.
I streamed it and made tiktoks about it so you're basically shitting on the small creators who DID cover the game during its release. You clearly don't value small creators. ๐
So today's post about
#Spirittea
seems to have gone viral. I literally can't keep up with the comments but thank you for showing solidarity and support for the creators.
Feel free to keep sharing and commenting. I am reading them, I just can't physically respond to them all rn.
@bazzyh
100% this. I struggle to find time to cover all the games as it is. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this one and played something else instead.
@TwitchSings
This game has been an absolute life saver over the last year, the community is amazing. I really, honestly don't know what I'll do without it. I got into streaming because of this game. How can we keep it running? I'd happily pay a monthly/yearly subscription to keep it going.
Today I'm learning how to play as The Woodland Alliance in Root. Wish me luck.

@LederGames
I'm loving this game so much. It's quickly becoming my game of the year.
I've decided as there are only 7 streams left before Christmas, I'm going to play A LOT of

I am so excited for it.

If...maybe...I...urm...possibly started a cosy lil podcast about indie games and the people that play them
1. Would that be of interest to you?
2. Would you want to maybe be a guest and talk about indie games?
My dad passed away peacefully today at 2:15am. It's been an incredibly difficult week but I promised him I'd finish reading this book to him and the hospice let me keep it so I can carry on reading it to him even though he's gone now. Very tough day today.
I finally hit 400 subs on YouTube :O
this month has felt huge for me, maybe because I've started livestreaming there? I'm not sure but my lil channel finally feels like it's seeing some proper growth.
I've read a few articles now about THAT tweet and I'm disappointed to see that people thought this was all about money and creators not being paid for their content.
It was never about money, and anyone who took my tweet that way missed the point.
I'm off to the office for the first time.
They announced some awards yesterday so here I present my official campaign to be crowned most stylish. Day 1.
Rate my fit.
I love

's art. I knew I had his books on my shelf but actually forgot I had a colouring book. Just spent the last 2 hours painting this. From his book "Colouring with your Octopus".
Every now and again I find myself re-visiting the idea of opening my own board game cafe. Sometimes when I see an empty unit I just have a look in the window and try to visualise the layout. Anyhow, thats my thoughts for the day. Just dreamin'
Well... Tomorrow is my last day working as part of the Kingdom team are Raw Fury.
I've been so lucky to work on a game series I genuinely love. Such a great community too.
I've learned a lot. I've had a great time. My first job in the industry has been a real gem ๐
I need to stop comparing myself to other people. I need to stop looking at the numbers and remember that streaming on twitch is just for fun. viewers, followers and subs are all a bonus. Those things dont determine my value as a streamer.
@DadGuitarist
I always cover games without payment, often I'll get a key. I just want to let people know about upcoming indies. It takes work and hours of time.
To see inside the mind of a person who shows total disrespect for people creating content... that's enough for me to say no thanks.
๐จMy first video of 2024 is OUT NOW ๐จ
Yes ducks, my Top 10 games of 2023 have been revealed as well as my game of the year.
Any guesses what made the top spot?
Well hi friends. It's the Steam Autumn Sale this week and I finally got around to making a video.
All these incredible games are under ยฃ10. Let me know which games you pick up in the sale ๐
It's been nearly a year since
@Twitch
got rid of Twitch Sings and people are still talking about it and missing it. I still keep hoping something will come along and fill that hole. Karaoke at the weekend was the most fun I've had in a long time.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I just got my first twitch payout and it may not be a huge amount to some people, but knowing I made money just from singing and having fun is amazing to me. I'm super grateful right now.
I had a brilliant day today, the vibes just felt really good. I didn't do anything special. I went to the gym. Had breakfast. Went Christmas shopping. Went to the opticians.
But I've seen 1111 twice today and then I hit 1111 on tiktok.
I love a little bit of magic in my day.
Yay! It's taken me a long time but I finally made it to 100 subs on YouTube. Small milestone but that's 100 people who watched my content and clicked that subscribe button.
The most I've ever seen. I hope
@Twitch
knows what it's losing with
@TwitchSings
. Waking up tomorrow with no twitch sings, no vods, no duets to watch...its gonna be weird.
So with Twitch Sings gone, my goals this year are to stream more regularly & get fit. I've put on a lot of weight the last couple of years & recently learnt that heart problems run in my mum's side of the family so I might try streaming some fitness games to keep me accountable.
So this week was a little crazy, huh?
I'm usually more reserved. I don't like drama. I don't jump on bandwagons (again because I prefer to avoid drama), but I think in this case I was the band wagon.
I've been very anxious about posting on Twitter since THAT post.
I'm treating myself to a
@Steam
deck because I NEED to spend less time sat at my desk when gaming in the evening. Do I go OLED though? That is the question. ๐ค
It's pride month and I always feel like a fraud including myself in the LGBTQ+ community. I'm bisexual but I've been in a straight relationship for 16 years so I still feel a bit shy about jumping on the pride train.
Ok, I admit it, I'm not doing so great. I didn't realise how much I needed
@TwitchSings
. I've felt really lost the last couple of weeks. I have no idea what to stream tbh, I'm doing stuff but I'm just constantly worrying about dmca and my streams just aren't the same.
Sorry to be an annoying gym knobhead but I've been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for a month and I'm loving feeling stronger and fitting into some of my old clothes.
I also have more energy to just rock out.
Today's little mantra was "The more you do, the more you can do".
Well....today, at 37 years of age, I got diagnosed with ADHD. All those things I thought were just my quirks and personality traits, my many years of losing jobs because of my personality and behaviour...yep...ADHD.
Date night at the cinema and I've decided to curl my hair. It went a little wild. Seeing The Black Phone at a cinema I've not been to before. Hopefully the film isn't too scary.
Anyone else in their mid 30's and still have no clue what they're doing with their life or what their goals are?
I really thought I'd have it all figured out by now. Turns out I'm still as lost as I was in my 20s. I'm just older now.
@Mikarii__
Some of us did get free keys, myself included. That's not the issue. The issue is them saying they got no coverage when I know how hard my fellow content creators worked on getting this game covered.
I deleted the tweet about twitch emotes. Jeez... That was a bad idea. So much spam but thanks to all the genuine emote artists that contacted me. I'll be in touch.
Been going to the gym 3 times a week for the last 3 months. Still loving it.
I'm loving feeling healthier and stronger and fitting back into clothes I haven't worn in years but I kept saying to myself "I'll fit back into those one day".
Feels good. Wish I'd joined sooner.
Just a reminder, next week is Mental Health Awareness Week and I'm trying to raise ยฃ1000 for
@GiveUsAShout
. Tbh I'd love to raise more.
I'll be streaming some lovely games and I have over 80 steam keys to give away. I really want you to win but you need to be there.
OMG!!! Look at this cool swag
@RawFury
sent me. I LOVE working on
@kingdomthegame
and the shirts, lunchbox and Greedorade are so cool but this pin!!! I love it so much.
Currently wearing my Greedbusters shirt with pride.
I love The Cozy Gaming Club. If you want a book club but for video games, come join us. We're currently playing Bear & Breakfast as our game of the month.
This month weโre playing
@BearBreakfast
for our cozy game of the month and Iโm really looking forward to just curling up and playing this all day given how chilly it is.
Have you played this one? What did you think?

community. Thank you all so much for being wonderful. I have never felt this part of something ever, nor this accepted.
15 of us (plus one that joined later) today for an early Christmas lunch and this isn't even all of us.
Girls That Game is my proudest achievement and I hope it brings as much joy to their lives as it has to mine these past 7 years.
I'm lucky to have such wonderful friends. ๐
Hi, I'm Vicki, just your friendly British indie gamer & streamer.

6 years ago vs now ๐ฌ
6 years ago I was desperate for money. I got into MLM hoping to earn the big bucks, helped friends out at events and wanted to be a life coach. That's when I really got into social media.
Now I work in video games and stream part time and I'm much happier.
6 years ago vs now ๐
6 years ago I was living in Raleigh, NC working on Temple Run going into an office 5 days a week.
Now today, Iโm living my dreams in Europe in Amsterdam, NL working fully remote on an upcoming deck builder game.
Life is good ๐
I'm learning to cross stitch. Made lots of mistakes so far including attempting to draw the pattern onto the fabric as I thought it'd be easier. It's not. It's just messy now. But I'm really enjoying this new hobby. Very relaxing.
Any cross stitchers out there?
Of course, now I'm thinking perhaps I shouldn't have posted this at all. Maybe this will help someone else. I'm not sure. I'm not looking for anything from this. I just wanted to mark the day I finally threw this stuff away instead of holding on to crap that doesn't serve me.
This is a fucking miracle. Laptop is finally back, yes I hugged it when they handed it back to me. They couldn't save everything but I've opened up my movie editor and the Season 3 reel is safe!
I'm too excited for my holiday. Only 1 more day of work then I'm off. I honestly can't wait.
Planning to be up super early to fit in one more gym sesh in the morning.๐ช
No streams this week but I'll see you next week, mates.
Gonna try to recreate these pics from last year.
7 years ago I was bullied out of a job I loved. A job I was really good at. Over a period of 5 months they destroyed any feelings of pride, confidence and self worth I had. They took away my purpose, completely broke me and destroyed my confidence in the work place. (a thread)

I'm just absolutely loving life at the moment. The last few years have been a struggle. Losing 2 jobs, my dad having cancer and then leaving us, difficult stuff with family on both sides and lots of knocks to my confidence. It's good to feel good.
It took me 3 hours yesterday to rearrange my board games and sort some ready for selling and others to put into storage for now as we don't play them often enough.
It's like a neat little jigsaw finding just the right spot for each other.
I need it.
If I started a fundraiser today, do we reckon we could raise over a grand in a week for this amazing charity? ๐ค
