20/04/2023

Streaming on Twitch is so much fun 🥹❤️ unfortunately, I wasn't able to toggle the save streams option before streaming, so-- 😅 ah well. There'll be more to come for sure!

In other news. I'm On Observation Duty is such a chaotic game 🤣

20/04/2023

Live now on https://www.twitch.tv/makimakia ! Come through!

First Stream on Twitch! Tonight we're playing I'm On Observation Duty

19/04/2023

I've been getting this a lot on my recent streams: "Do you have plans of transferring over to Twitch?"

Prior to streaming on Facebook, I had a barely-touched Twitch account. The platform intimidated me at the time, probably because I didn't have any streaming experience then. Hoping it'd be better this time. 🤞

I honestly don't know how to work my way around Twitch yet lol but we'll figure that out. Might do a test stream tonight or tomorrow. 👀

For now, find me on Twitch here! 👇

I actually really love this shot because it captures one split-second moment of me hosting the event.

I won't make this post long, but those who know me irl would know how much I kept on saying, "'di ko kaya mag host." But eventually, through my Certified Voice Artist Program fam too, I learned how to go past that impostor syndrome and give hosting a try. Now, I just have so much fun doing it, and it's really the greatest honor to have had the chance to host / GGP's Into The Diamond Realm. 🥹🫶

If not for this photo, a part of me wouldn't have believed that night happened. 🤣

Thank you, Aya ( on IG!) for this pic!! 🥹

Swinging aimlessly, heading straight to poison puddles and other health-damaging stuff, obviously just trying to survive the boss fight AT HALF LIFE........ You might be saying, "how the hell is she playing this bad??? It's like she's not even looking at the screen."

Well-- you're right. 🥲 Centipedes are the bane of my existence and even if they're supposedly in "cutesy illustrations" like this, it's a N O for me.

The biggest challenge of this part is FREAKIN' LOOKING AT THE THING. 💀

[Game: ]

05/08/2022

NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THE BAD END. OHMYGOODNESS.

02/08/2022

It was such a beautiful experience. Thank you, Stray. 🥺

(Still not over my feels)

01/08/2022

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GAME. OMG 😭🥺❤️

01/08/2022

[PLEASE NOTE, I'M NOT DONE WITH STRAY YET AND THOSE WHO HAVE JUST STARTED PLAYING, PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS]

Absolutely grateful to the developers for making the playable character a cat because that sparked the attention of so many, and increased the intent for purchase.

But man... cutesy cat things aside, Stray's story is so, so deep. It hits too close to home / reality, and I'm just grateful that more people got to experience this story simply because of the idea of playing as a cat with all the quirky cat things in place (scratching, biscuits, causing troubles in the cutest way possible).

I'll most probably write something more in-depth eventually. I'm in the Midtown level now and I'm honestly not sure how much longer I still have to go in the actual gameplay. Hopefully it's still quite a ways away from ending. I don't want the experience to end just yet.

[E D I T -- roughly 15 hrs after the original post above]

OHMYGOD I AM DONE AND I AM NOT OK

30/07/2022

Another fun stream tonight!! Even if it ended quite stressfully 🥹🥲

30/07/2022

Streaming with Mr. Oldshoes tonight!! We did an initial run yesterday and it was full of ✨panique✨ because someone (@ Makia) fell off the Raft and got bitten by the shark like-- 5 seconds into the game 🥲

What would be our fate tonight? Let's see! 👀

28/07/2022

A couple of hours into the game, recently started w the 2nd half and AAAA THE STORYLINE!!!! Sure, Stray is absolutely cutesy and all, but maaaan. The storyline is-- an entirely different thing.

What a beautiful game indeed. The whole cat thing makes a whole lot better.

25/07/2022

As a gamer / streamer, work-from-home professional, voice artist, speaker, livestream host, pen-and-paper kind of person, and everything else in between, my table always has so many things happening all at once.

Finally got a table that gives me enough space for everything!! In my preferred color, too ♡

Not seen on pic: L legs for an ergonomic feel (I can push my chair closer lol) + PVC cable tray below so that my cables are not cluttered anymore (finally!!)

All for nearly half of what that style and quality would typically cost in malls!! 👀

Thank youuuu for this, Aurix !!!

Side note: superrr superb customer service, too! I ended up regretting my initial size choice bec of how small my room is and fortunately, I was still able to ask them to make last-minute changes. No extra charges, still received within the lead time. Love it!!

24/07/2022

!!! Grateful for the photobooth lol we finally got decent (yet wacky) shots!

24/07/2022

@ Conquest!

21/07/2022

We're going on the 2nd day! See you there!

19/07/2022

Did a chill stream of Stray tonight!

Not in camera: my cat (daughter of the very first stray I adopted!) sleeping peacefully in the background 🐱
