Introduction to Blowfish Man TV
00:00:05
Speaker
Welcome to Chatsunami.
00:00:17
Speaker
Hello everybody, hope you're having a good day and yeah, welcome to a very special episode of Chat Tsunami. As you can see by the title, today I am joined by a very awesome person, someone who I've gotten to know over the course of streaming, that being a Blowfish Man TV. Hello there, welcome, and thank you so much for joining me today. No problems, obviously, it's a big honor to be here today. I was just like, you know, I'm gonna try, you know, being on a podcast once, let's see how this goes, you know.
00:00:46
Speaker
Yeah. All I can say is I hope it lives up to your expectations, thus being relatively new. Dude, no worries. I've tuned into your podcast whenever I can. Sadly, you stream it around the same time as you do your podcast. I wish I could tune into a whole one, you know what I mean? But from what I've seen, I'm loving it. It's super chill, super relaxed. It's sort of like just two friends talking to each other. Thank you.
00:01:09
Speaker
Now I have to admit that is one of the downsides of like especially some of the streamers I've made friends with where they're all awesome people but they stream at the exact same time and it's like trying to just yeah watch them all and everything and it's just um
00:01:25
Speaker
yeah not great sometimes yeah trust me i have that exact same issue it's like oh you're on let me support you oh no this person's on oh yeah oh no oh no you know like that kind of thing yeah let's just jump into before we get into like the main kind of topic
00:01:43
Speaker
Yeah, I was just going to give a bit of context really just about, you know, how we stumbled across one another.
Forming Connections through Streaming
00:01:50
Speaker
And I was trying to think about this earlier, but I'm pretty sure, and completely correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure we met because of a raid from Naf's channel. Yeah, when Naf Gains, a little history on Naf Gains for anyone in the chat, when he was still Naf underscore 0, that's how I met Satsu, that's how far back this goes. Yeah, I know.
00:02:13
Speaker
Yeah, once Naff Gaines is like a super awesome, you know, streamer. He's a great streamer, so good at what he has. He really is, yeah. If you haven't checked him out, go check him out as well, he is awesome. But yeah, it must have been, and I have to admit, that's how I've met quite a lot, yourself included of course, but that's how I met a lot of really awesome streamers just through raids and things like that. And
00:02:37
Speaker
uh yeah it's just it's amazing stumbling across someone like throwing from a raid from one person's channel to the other and then you kind of don't know until you actually get to that channel that that's going to be like another person that you're going to be following for well for a while trust me you know i've been there i'd be like hey you're not my friend but hey this streaming the stream is pretty awesome follow you know what i mean like hey what's up right
00:03:01
Speaker
And then it's just a- I get that feeling. Yeah. And then it's just a damn real spiral of like Jojo references and all of that. Yeah. Oh, God. Man, you met me when I was only a wee, you know, Jojo fan still at Stardust Cruciators part three, right? And I'm like, I'm not at the deal part just yet, but I just know all the moons, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Don't worry, guys, we will like come to the wonderful world of Jojo and his bizarre adventures. But yeah, before we do.
Variety Streaming: Keeping Content Fresh
00:03:30
Speaker
Before we do, so just for the context of the audience listening just now, what kind of content do you do?
00:03:40
Speaker
Yeah, so I just basically do a lot of just variety pretty much anything. I mean Satsui you tuned in yesterday Oh my monitor so I do like wacky stuff like that to like dating sims to Resident Evil 2 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure video game. Yeah What else have I played? I've played like a ton of games. I'm friend Bo I still don't like that game because it still causes me I get stressed out over it
00:04:03
Speaker
but yeah like just a typical variety streamer just trying to get by you know oh yeah definitely I mean after my I am biased because I'm also a variety streamer so yeah hashtag variety streamer gang representing right here on this job yeah oh definitely
00:04:23
Speaker
Yeah, I was actually going to ask you, Satsu, if that's OK. Absolutely. Do you agree with the philosophy where it's like, oh, you know, you shouldn't marry yourself to one game because I feel like like I would agree with that philosophy. It's like you shouldn't marry yourself to one game because I feel like content would get stale despite all the DLCs and the updates that like every game comes with. I don't know if you feel the same way. So is that your reason for being a variety streamer?
00:04:43
Speaker
Yeah I definitely think that is yeah I completely agree with that. I think that if like I've heard a lot of horror stories even before going into twitch when I was like kind of researching and everything I've heard there's a lot of streamers who they'll go into a game like Call of Duty or usually it's an FPS but it could be anything really.
00:05:03
Speaker
It's a game that they're either really good at or they really like and that is kind of the dream. That's kind of like if you're if you've got a game that you're really good at and you want to share your love of the game then you're gonna go in and you're gonna play it all the time and just be like oh you know let me show how awesome I am but there is that kind of period where you go through a slump
00:05:28
Speaker
like for example I mean I'm a huge fan of games like Pokemon and even Call of Duty as well and things like that and for a while if you keep playing those games you do get some kind of enjoyment out of it but yeah I definitely think if you keep playing the same game it's gonna get tiring for you as well and you're gonna need to find ways to kind of spice it up because the way that it seems to be is if you're not
00:05:52
Speaker
If you're not a top tier player or you're not bringing something different to it, then chances are your channel's not going to succeed the same way as a lot of other ones. And at least with variety streaming, I don't know if you feel the same, it's like you can kind of find your niche with that.
00:06:12
Speaker
Yeah because I know there's a lot of streamers who like they'll fall into that trap, they'll be playing for ages and they'll get like quite a good following but then later on they'll basically they'll change to another game and instantly they just lose that following because the people who followed them in the first place aren't interested in like the new content they're bringing out if you know what I mean.
00:06:36
Speaker
Oh, dude, I 100% get that, like with variety, like, because here's the thing with me too, when it comes to video games, like, I like a whole bunch of different games, right? And I'm like, and at the same time, when I also wanted to start this whole thing, I was like, you know, like, funny enough, I lowkey wanted to try being a league streamer when I was actually okay at it. Yeah.
00:06:54
Speaker
when it's still like the early days of like season three, season two, right? And I'm like, but then I was also watching some of my other favorite streamers play and I'm like, they, you know, like their content sort of gotten to slump, you know, their energy wasn't as good as before. And then, you know, when they switch over to another game because, you know, they want to just take a break from the game they're popular for.
00:07:13
Speaker
you know people people would complain and i'm like i mean i kind of don't want that if i were to ever do this like i kind of want to be the guy who's like sort of a jack-of-all-trades sort of stream right you get you know like i said you got things like holding a funeral for a monitor to like me giving ridiculous voices to a bunch of like love interests and dating sins and all that and yeah i you know i've had a ton of fun with that and i do 100 agree with your statement dude yeah i mean you have
00:07:38
Speaker
yeah you've got to do like what makes i mean obviously you've got to do something that's entertaining but at the same time you've got to do something that makes you happy as well i would agree with that because like if you as you said if you were just doing the same thing over and over again and it could be something as simple as just playing like league or college duty or something like that just any game over and over again like yeah it's gonna be
00:08:01
Speaker
It's not going to be as entertaining for both the audience and yourself. So yeah, no, absolutely. Totally agree with that. Yeah, because at the same time when doing variety for me, at least it's sort of a way for people to get to know what sort of person I am in a way.
00:08:18
Speaker
I like having fun with this game, but at the same time, I kind of also want to sit back and relax, and some just chatting streams, and just have a chill stream overall, right? And I do agree. I think, especially with variety streaming, it does let you, or rather it exposes you more to different kind of genres and things. For example, if you were solely a one-game streamer, you wouldn't be able to play horror games or
00:08:43
Speaker
you know like just interesting games that are going to provoke kind of a reaction and as you said it does it like it shows like your personality coming through for those different games which is it's quite interesting because after like when I started playing horror games for Halloween oh my god I did not expect myself to react the way I did like especially for games like Outlast
00:09:09
Speaker
because usually when I get scared, I get very talkative and I get very, I try to make like a lot of jokes, but then I just kind of hit that threshold where I just started screaming and it's not something like I expected myself to do.
00:09:24
Speaker
But yeah, I feel as if I wasn't a variety streamer, I wouldn't have got that chance to do that.
Humor and Reactions in Streaming
00:09:30
Speaker
So yeah, thank you to variety streaming for letting the world hear my terrorized screams. Yeah, it's kind of funny because first of all, I've actually watched you play a few horror games like Fazz before and all that, and I've noticed that you've done that. I'm like, oh my God, this guy talks so much when he's screaming.
00:09:47
Speaker
And like, yeah, that's the great thing about variety stream is like you're exposed to every different kind of game, right? And then like, for me, I always like going into games blind. Well, I don't know if that term is allowed anymore, because I'm sure you've heard about what Twitch is trying to do to me. But like, I was like going into games, like not knowing what's happening, because like, one, it'll make good content. Two, you're going to get my genuine reaction out of it. Yeah, no. Because like, there's always going to be people online who are going to complain, like, oh, his, his, her reaction is fake. You know, this is stupid, all that kind of thing, right?
00:10:17
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I mean, it's definitely a way to get your genuine reaction out of, you know, like a game you're diving into for the very first time. I mean, like you said, like with Phasmophobia, I remember booting it up, like, I think it was like half an hour before it was meant to go live. And I was going on with my, it was my Lord's Day, we both went on. And as soon as, like, do you know when you go into a house in Phasmophobia and then it hits you with that music?
00:10:46
Speaker
like the men that sing music and all like the cymbals are coming up like genuinely when I like see when I before I got into the game I thought oh this is gonna be great I'm just gonna run in I'm just gonna be you know making jokes yeah when it goes and as soon as I walked into that house and that music started playing or the sound effects I was just like oh no I've made a terrible mistake and I'm like maybe maybe I can tweet out and say I'm not feeling well
00:11:17
Speaker
No, it's just funny cuz I remember I think I was playing on back like when I was doing the Halloween special with my Star Force family, you know like squad streaming game, right?
00:11:29
Speaker
And when I went over to, when we raided Back Smasher, you know, for him to close it off, he was like playing Fazm. I'm like, you know what? I'll jump in on a few, right? Funniest thing that happened in J.Joe was there when it happened was like, you know, I was a complete noob at this. And then I see this like mini tiny ghost running up towards me. And the number one thing I say is like, oh, help, help, help. And I ended up talking.
00:11:51
Speaker
and I'm like, oh, JJ wouldn't let go of that joke for like the longest time and he like clipped it, he's like, yo, you sound like genuinely scared. I'm like, yo, I was. So my mod and close friend has reminded me just there of a particular moment of phasmophobia. Like before we quickly move on and pretend that I'm not admitting this live to the world,
00:12:18
Speaker
It was a moment in Phasmophobia where I was with S-Banks and my other mod said, and we were in, I don't know, I don't know, were you in that stream? Did you see that one where we were in like the school? Don't worry, you've still got to refresh my memory, dude. So we went in and I think this was the very first time we had tried the school level and it was terrifying. Like, because it's like a bigger map, we were just used to playing, you know, like houses and farm houses.
00:12:46
Speaker
All I can say is, whoever thought to put a farmhouse level is both genius and terrifying. But yeah, definitely. But with the school, it's a whole new level. It's just so huge. You don't know what's around the corner. And I went to this room that
00:13:03
Speaker
the ghosts kept messing with the lights. So I walked in first and I was like terrified. I was like in the edge of my seat and my two friends like walked in the door behind me and I didn't know until I turned right round and as soon as I turned round the lights just started flicking and they were walking in and one of my other modes like pressed the like the walkie talkie button that makes your voice like echo throughout the game
00:13:29
Speaker
So he pressed it and then he yelled the ghost's name. He said, Maria. And I turned round and I came face to face with his banks. And he was standing beside a plant pot which made me scream something awful. I just went.
00:13:47
Speaker
And it is clipped. It is pretty much everywhere for everyone to enjoy. Yeah, I just jumped out my skin. I was like at the age of my seat there. But yeah, without playing Phasmophobia, I guess I wouldn't have as many good clips. Which is not exactly right. As terrifying as these horror games are, they really, really do make for the best clips.
00:14:10
Speaker
Like at first you're embarrassed that it happened, but then like after you're done streaming, you know, you're relaxing, be like, okay, let's see what, what sort of clips I have. You look back at it and you just laugh at yourself and like, and in my opinion, like if you're going to do Twitch and like, can't do that, I don't know if you should be streaming. It might be, it might be a bit of a strong opinion. It's like, I don't know if you should be streaming if you can't like laugh at yourself once in a while, right?
00:14:28
Speaker
Oh, no, definitely. I mean, it's like, again, going back to one of our mutual streaming friends, Nafkeens, I can't remember what stream it was. He turned around and said something like, I think it was like an embarrassing moment. And they basically responded by saying, oh, I'm doing this for the clips or something like that. And it is. It's kind of very brief, but it's like a true thing. It's like,
00:14:51
Speaker
it's very true yeah it's like those are the highlights that you want to show people like kind of showing the best of your stream even if that is even if that is screaming at a plant pot which i swear i don't do in real life um yeah no i definitely agree
00:15:07
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah. Like the most scripted that it could ever get is like that. You know what I mean? It's like, well, I'm mainly just going into the mindset playing the scary game. It's like I'm just doing this to see what sort of clips I get. Right. Like that's the most scripted it gets, in my opinion.
00:15:23
Speaker
I have to admit it's like I don't know if you when you were younger you kind of watched the you know like PewDiePie, Markiplier, those kind of like YouTubers when they played all the skating games. Yeah it's like when they played like the skating games when they were just starting out and that's what they kind of got popular for and you see someone eclipsing you think
00:15:43
Speaker
oh that's so fake or you know like some of the screams are very exaggerated over the top and then when you play the game yourself I mean I think I've brought this up in like a past Chatsanami episode when my friend and I were talking about horror games and it is one of those things where it's like you're watching if you're watching someone else
00:16:02
Speaker
you kind of watch them through the safety behind your monitor and you're just like, oh, that's so funny. I can't believe they jumped. And then as soon as they say, oh, do you want to hold the controller? You're like, no, no. Why would I want to play?
00:16:18
Speaker
Yeah. Oh my God. Like, um, I'm sure, you know, like my longtime viewer to Dynajay, right? Like sometimes she would come over to play video games and I would be playing a scary game, right? And then this is the first time she ever found out about Outlast and she was like super interested in me, you know, playing it, right? Which is what led to me screaming it. And like, she was over at the time when I was playing it and I'm like, whenever I would die, be like, Hey, did you want to try? She's like, no, she's so scared.
00:16:43
Speaker
See honestly I remember when I got asked it was for like a milestone someone was like oh you should definitely play Outlast Pro Tip for anyone out there listening. Yeah it is. It is very jump scare heavy. Which I know technically like yeah I know there's like a debate where people are like oh is it you know oh it's a cheap scare. It's still a scare. It's still a scare. Yeah never again. And people are like oh when you gonna do Outlast 2 and I'm like never. Never.
00:17:13
Speaker
Just Outlast 1 was like that kind of perfect level, I think. But yeah, Outlast 2, nah. Not coming anytime soon. And I think as soon as I've said that, I think I'll probably get loads of messages saying, why aren't you doing Outlast 2? Right? I've like, really it's just been that same year I'd had a chance to be like, when are you gonna play Outlast 2? I was like, you know what I mean? Oh yeah. Well actually, I think Outlast Trials is supposed to be coming out soon, is it not?
00:17:39
Speaker
It's like a... so apparently that's like... this is great advertising for Outlast by the way. It's like, yeah, Outlast is the scariest game ever. So scary we can't play the sequel. And yeah, I think it's like a multiplayer version of Outlast. I don't quite know what... because initially it
Upcoming Multiplayer Games
00:18:00
Speaker
looked almost as if it was a VR game because I've all got like these goggles and headsets on. I don't know what it's about but
00:18:06
Speaker
Yeah, it seems as if it's a multiplayer game, which might be interesting, but, you know, it's... Yeah, I suppose we'll see. For sure. It'll be definitely, like, another fun... If it does take off, it'll be definitely another fun multiplayer horror game, you know?
00:18:22
Speaker
Oh yeah, it'll be. See once it's out, I do think it'll probably be everywhere on Twitch. Like, everyone will be playing it and getting clips and I'll be heading in the corner going, I'll buy it next month. It's fine. Yeah, right? It's the same thing with me. Like, everybody's going nuts when it comes. Like, as great as Cyberpunk looks, I'm like, everybody's been streaming it, you know what I mean?
00:18:43
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like I remember my friend, my good friend, Donna Spades, I don't know if he's in chat, but like, um, I remember he messaged me and, uh, you know, he showed a picture of like the category of cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch. And it said like, there's 1.1 million viewers or something like that. I'm like, crazy. I'm like, yeah, if I were to stream this, I'm not going to get noticed. You know what I mean? It's only by like my tech community at that point.
00:19:05
Speaker
Oh yeah, no, definitely. I mean, I felt the same when I did the campaign for Call of Duty Cold War, and I think it was probably a couple of weeks after it was released. But even then, because I feel as if you stream a game like COD, even though it's got the campaign, it's still going to be buried under that category of it's a Call of Duty game.
00:19:25
Speaker
like even if you're like it doesn't separate if you're going to do the multiplayer or single player it's just it lumps you into the same thing and especially with a game like that where it's just now and everyone's going to be interested in it it's yeah that's definitely not a good move gotcha gotcha yeah
00:19:41
Speaker
I'll be honest when it comes to like card, the last one I actually played was Black Ops and that was when I was still like in high school. Oh Black Ops honestly, it's probably a good game to end on. I think that's when it was, I don't know like some of the other games after it were alright but I feel as if
00:19:59
Speaker
because again like in a past episode of Shatsunami my friend and I had this long discussion about the Black Ops series and I think we came to the conclusion that Black Ops 1 was definitely our favourite and just any other Black Ops game after that was just... it just kept going down. I mean it just went down and down and down until we reached Black Ops 3 and
00:20:20
Speaker
Yeah the less said about Black Ops 3 the better, that was just a whole mess. I'll take your word for that dude. Yeah I started off as you know that meme where it's like oh I'll just say one or two words about this and then two seconds later I've got like a whole manifesto thing and another thing about Black Ops 3. Yeah oh god I relate to that meme so hard you know. Oh absolutely.
00:20:48
Speaker
So yeah, moving on from, moving on from bad Call of Duty games, which definitely is a topic in itself. I feel like it's just a topic about like the Satsu community in general. Do you call yourselves like the Satsu society? Is that what your little community calls Satsu on to get?
00:21:05
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, unofficially, our Discord server will have called herself the Satsunami Society or Satsu Society. Probably Satsu Society is easier. I don't know if you've ever heard the story of the name I've got for subscribers. So I'm going to preface this now for anyone who might be offended by this, but it's not as bad. Just a quick, oh no.
00:21:35
Speaker
Oh no! So I was doing for, I think it was for 500 followers that I'd got, and I said I would play six hours of Sonic 06. So I was playing that and I was halfway through the game and someone subscribed and
00:21:55
Speaker
that kind of sparked a discussion i was like what should we call because everybody's got like a cool name you know for their subscribers so i know another streamer i don't know if you've seen her called um yeah stubborn zombie that's it she calls yeah she really is she calls her um subscribers the horde which is dope yeah it's so cool and i know you call yours the school isn't it we're the school yeah the school
00:22:19
Speaker
Yeah, so see, these are very thematically linked names, right? So I was like, Sam, I'm racing through like this glitchy hell of a game and I'm like, right guys, I wonder what we should call because at that point I didn't have a name at all. In my mode, quick as a flash, he did not hesitate, he just pulled the trigger and he said, Simp Tsunamis. And I was like, yeah.
00:22:48
Speaker
And I was like, right, anybody else? And my friend then kicked in and he was like, yeah, if no one replies in point two seconds, that's what we're calling ourselves. Oh, my God. So that's funny, though, because when I put you on the stream, I put that in as a joke. I didn't know that was your actual friend. Sounds like.
00:23:08
Speaker
Yeah, like the official name for newcomers, definitely the Satsu Society for unofficial is. See, once you're in deep enough and you buy your way into the Satsu Society, yeah, it's the Tsimtsunamis. Nice guy. I feel as if it's a really shitty pyramid scheme.
00:23:33
Speaker
Oh wait, it gets worse. As you go down, it's like, oh no. Speaking of being a sims tsunami, give me a sec here. Yeah, no, go for it. Should kick in right about now. Now you should probably check your chat.
00:23:47
Speaker
I'm kind of looking with baited breath. Oh, that's okay. There you go. Not looking at your shit. Thank you. Thank you. Speaking of being a tsunami ape, I'll keep up the good content, my guy. Oh, thank you. So yeah, just for anybody listening in the future, that was Bullfish Man just subscribing. So thank you for that. No, thank you for that. No problem, dude. No problem.
00:24:08
Speaker
I really should have the chat in the left-hand side or the right-hand side or somewhere, but... No worries, dude. That'll be a 2021 problem. Cyberpunk 2021. They'll just keep deleting it until... Future starts who can deal with that, you know? And then it never gets dealt with. Yeah, that guy's great. He knows it.
00:24:29
Speaker
oh god so yeah speaking of um actually something i've really wanted to ask you for a while and i feel as if like because we've known each other for a while i was kind of too embarrassed to ask so why not ask just now yeah i was gonna ask you about like the origin of your name loafish man oh dude yeah like
00:24:47
Speaker
Oh man, okay.
The Origin of Blowfish Man TV
00:24:49
Speaker
It's nothing super-duper TOS, nothing like that. So it was, I believe, we were heading into second year university. It was me and my university friends, right? So we have another friend of ours who follows both of us. He goes by Berto-Gucia. Another friend of ours called Jerry Berry, right? That's all like their Twitch monitors. When I was heading into second year, I would always rock the buzz cut, like the army head cut, you know what I mean? Just a regular buzz cut? That was like my thing, right?
00:25:16
Speaker
And then when they first saw me in a buzz cut, they were just astonished. Like they've seen God or something. I don't know. I'm like, guys, literally just me and a bus. Yeah. So like, like they were just shocked and all that, you know, and then they would, you know, tell me, like, they would like rip on me, calling me like, Oh, like happy Buddha and all that. Oh, wow. Just cause of nation. Thanks guys. And all that. Right. Like, you know, it was like, it was all like in good fun. Yeah. And then we were all obsessed with Breaking Bad. You've watched. Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:25:43
Speaker
Okay. So do you remember, um, I believe it was like in season two or three where Walter and Jesse are talking with each other and like some broken down motel. Okay. So I think Walter was trying to tell Jesse to like, basically get his money back because someone stole his money or like someone stole his, uh, his meth or something like that. Oh yeah. I remember that. Yeah.
00:26:01
Speaker
And then, you know, he's just like, well, it was all like, Jesse, like you've been in this game longer than I have. And we both know that you should not be messed with like something along the lines of that. Right. And then he's all like, Jesse, you got to show these punks who you really are. You're a blowfish, Jesse. You're a blowfish. You know, you pop up.
00:26:17
Speaker
you see you see himself but you puff up in defense you know like stuff like that so that's where it really came from and then because of that that whole line triggered just this whole thing where and then they're all like hey hey steve hey blowfish man like uh puff up your cheeks for us so i did that i couldn't stop laughing because they thought i'd look like a blowfish whenever i'd puff up my cheeks like a shaped head so that's the origin of the name oh yeah that's awesome that's that's actually that's actually a better origin story than mine
00:26:44
Speaker
Wait, actually what is yours? I'm so curious. It's a bit of a weird one. You know that way when people say, if you're going to join Twitch and you're going to be a streamer, you should join with a name that's easy to pronounce. I made that mistake when I came up with this name.
00:27:01
Speaker
Because honestly, it was kind of similar. It began when I was in university and it was my friend and I were just chillin' out and I'm very big on puns and jokes like that. So I can't remember what it was we were talking about.
00:27:18
Speaker
i said we saw like some fruit line around and we were talking just about like different puns and things and i said oh look it's a pile of satsumas and then i was like oh it's a satsuma tsunami and then i was like
00:27:34
Speaker
A satsunami! A bit is weird because it was... I kind of sat on it for a while. Not the satsumas by the way, that's disgusting. Yeah, that would be... I'd be like, are you okay? They weren't even mine!
00:27:52
Speaker
I think I was someone else, someone had bought in and they were just like, yeah. So they like left them there. I left, yeah, for any future person listening to this recording, I left as soon as I was alone. But yeah, I used to have a very generic gamer tag. It was like so, so generic and it was just like, yeah, I should really change this.
00:28:13
Speaker
yeah no it wasn't even yeah it was that i changed it to eventually but it was like it was something that i had been meaning to change for a while but because that was like my third year of university and yeah like i came up with the joke i was like ha ha very funny gave myself a high five as my friend like looked at me and discussed as if
00:28:34
Speaker
What are you even doing with your life? And then, yeah, just eventually, I kind of remember when, but at some point I just thought, yeah, I better change my gamer tag because it was getting to that stage, I was like, you know that way when a lot of people don't, when it wasn't like a XXX, you know, 360 no scope, it wasn't as bad as that. I was just like,
00:29:00
Speaker
imagine yeah but it's like you know how a lot of like kids and things when they first get their x-boxes or playstations or whatever that's what they use they use like those kind of names and then eventually they change them if that was it for mine yeah i was just like yeah better change this and then when i was joining twitch you know initially i was just gonna call myself that tsunami but it wouldn't let me because it was taken but i think the more i think about it the more i think it was actually an old account that i used to have
00:29:28
Speaker
when I signed up like ages ago I wasn't like streaming or anything I think I might have just signed up for something completely different and I just like left it but then I forgot like the password and everything and I was just like yeah no time to make a new one so yeah that yeah that was it that was how satsanami42 came to existence
00:29:49
Speaker
So yeah, that was so funny. Yeah. Because I'm like, when you when you brought up like the whole like, oh, you know, people have ridiculous online names like X, X, X, 420, like 360. I'm like, that's so true. You don't know, you don't know how ridiculous those names can get. Yeah, I don't know what's worse, like the name itself or when you're playing an online game and a player like that ends up beating you several times and you're just like, oh, yeah, you're so embarrassed. You're like, how old are you, dude? Like, bro.
00:30:17
Speaker
yeah by this point you know xxx thunderweeds 420 xxx is like you know yeah he's like he's sitting in his apartment you know 30 years old and he's just he's looking out wisely as he loads in um code war just like time to get back into the game or as you know as a fat thor would say um was it noob master 69 or something
00:30:45
Speaker
So moving on, Chrome, the origin of your name. Yeah, so this is something I'm quite interested in as well because it's something that I do, I get really interested in with a lot of streamers. But how did you get introduced into streaming? What was your point where you were like, I want to try this, I want to try streaming?
Inspiration from YouTube and Early Creations
00:31:07
Speaker
Oh, dude. It all started in like my, no, no worries. It's like a little bit of a long story, but like how I first got interested in streaming was, okay, so in university, I was just watching some pretty big names that I didn't know who streamed, right? They would just drop YouTube videos and then that was it before they took up streaming. One of those big names, and you've probably heard it around, to be honest, Satsu in the Twitch world, Lily Pichu, if anyone in chat as well. Yeah, like I used to watch her before she had a face cam. So that's how far back this went, you know what I mean?
00:31:36
Speaker
So I used to watch her when she was just a pure League streamer. I would make funny League highlight videos. And then I would notice the girl who sounded like she was 10, but she was way older than I am, which is true. So watching her videos, I always had a laugh, because I'm like, this girl is like, she has to be 10. There's no way, you know what I mean? Her videos are so funny because of the tone of her voice, right? And then it started to branch out into other League streamers. I don't know if you've heard of Trick2G or any. Have you heard of that guy? I don't think so, no.
00:32:06
Speaker
Yeah, I was like, I was mainly just watching a lot of league streamers back in the day, right? Because that's all I really played in university. And then I thought I was like, you know, one day, once I figure out the means on how to stream, like what sort of things I need, like, I'd want to give it a shot. Because like, it seems like these guys are having fun, you know, they're making
00:32:22
Speaker
money off of it even better. That's all I thought of as like a young university student, right? It's like basically the whole doing what you love sort of like motive, I suppose. So like that was like my influence into streaming. And fun fact, you know, like after university, I was just like, okay, like,
00:32:38
Speaker
are we are we gonna try this out or like what's up what are we gonna do right yeah so I had to like think to myself like okay if I'm gonna pursue any any sort of thing that had to require like creating a community or like building an online presence what happened uh for those who like this is like way before the blowfish man tv channel even existed on twitch blowfish man tv was originally on youtube as a voice acting channel
00:33:01
Speaker
um so i would drop a bunch of like it wasn't like really really voice acting now that i look back at it i'd drop a bunch of like impersonations of a bunch of league characters that i would do you know what i mean i really loved league at the time i loved imitating like all the characters lines quoting them and tried like matching their tone of voice and all that yeah and uh yeah that's how that this all started uh but then you know like
00:33:20
Speaker
You heard about the story about the new YouTube algorithm, right? Yeah. After that hit, my videos just started tanking. I would get 100 views per video to 10. That sort of discouraged me. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, I'd be like, okay, usually I would consistently get 100 viewers, which I was cool with because I was starting off, I was like, I didn't expect to get a million or a thousand views right off the bat. So I was thinking, I'm like,
00:33:46
Speaker
why am I putting in all this work for video editing, audio editing, and all that just for this amount of views, right? It sounds a little bit entitled to think that, but it sort of discouraged me from doing YouTube, right? No, absolutely. I don't think it's something that people who watch videos take into account. There was a video I made, I think it was a week or two ago, and it literally only has just over four minutes. But the video itself
00:34:12
Speaker
It took me about a day or two to actually make and it just took me like a couple of hours to actually write up like a script for it and everything and then the next day I decided I'm going to edit it and that took me nearly the whole day but it is. It's like when you like take that video and then you condense it into this small edited piece that you're going to put out there
00:34:37
Speaker
and then not many people are going to respond to it. I can totally agree, I totally see how you would feel disappointed that it didn't do so well. It's like all that work that you're putting into it for not a lot of return, which I totally agree with you. And then now looking back at it, I just see a bunch of people who just stream on Twitch or any other platform.
00:35:00
Speaker
And then they drop monthly highlight videos. And I'm like, maybe low-key I might want to go into that direction. Because I also do love video editing, too. I have a lot of fun with it, despite it being super tedious work at times. I was thinking of like, I'll ask the chat later on, probably in the new year, I was like, hey, did you guys want to see a monthly highlight reel of every month? And then you would get it at the end of the month for YouTube or something? Something like that. Something simple like that.
00:35:25
Speaker
Just kind of following up from it, what were your first impressions of Twitch as a whole before you got into it? You're like, I got into streaming? It's a bit weird because I know YouTube seems quite a different, I mean for me personally, but YouTube seems quite a different world.
00:35:43
Speaker
compared to Twitch. It's like I remember hearing about Twitch and personally for me I wasn't really into Twitch until I started streaming. I'd tried going into it just to watch people and I just didn't get it.
00:36:00
Speaker
I just couldn't get why people were, you know, people were sitting and watching people live and things and obviously like now my whole view is completely different. Whereas for YouTube it was like all this content kind of coming out but it was like a lot more polished if you know what I mean. Whereas it seemed as if for Twitch
00:36:20
Speaker
There was a stereotype, which is completely untrue by the way, but it was almost that stereotype that all you have to do on Twitch is just shove on the camera and you're going to get like hundreds of thousands of views. Yeah, that's a total stereotype. Yeah, absolutely.
00:36:35
Speaker
what were your kind of expectations of like going into twitch like when i first started streaming yeah uh dude like honestly when when i was looking at twitch comparing it to youtube what i felt like watching just random streamers before i even started to strike up my own stream was more just like okay like um how i see it is that for twitch um
00:36:54
Speaker
You know, there's I feel like there's less pressure when it comes to like any sort of thing that has to do with video video on twitch Because you know, like it's all live. Um, you know i'm i'm one for improvising if things go south, you know what I mean? Yeah That's the thing, right? So to me like there's less pressure in that aspect to like have mistakes because hey even mistakes on twitch can be really funny to look back at right and like for that reason
00:37:18
Speaker
For me, it was less pressure to not feel scared about doing this, getting out there, putting out content.
00:37:25
Speaker
And then compared to YouTube where like you would put in like hours for like a three, five minute video, you know, like three minute, three to five minute video, right? And then like get only like 10 people watching it. I think that's what attracted me to Twitch. I'm like, look, like even if there's only like one or a hundred, a thousand people in chat, my mindset going into streaming was more just like, do it for yourself, do it for the fun. Otherwise, if I don't do it for those reasons, for me at least, like I'm not going to last long, right? Like I'm just going to get like scourged over and over again.
00:37:52
Speaker
And I always kept that mindset in lock. If I'm entertaining one person, I will talk to that one person for the whole stream. It's literally happened in my early days and it was the most fun I've had during the COVID times. I want to be interactive with the viewers.
00:38:09
Speaker
So that was my thing. I love that sort of idea of interactivity when it comes to streaming. It definitely feels a lot more personal, I have to say. Like, I mean, and this is like Satsanami convention here, but I've like, I've tried making videos like when I was younger, and I mean, like going back into, you know, school days, I like used to have, and I don't know if you guys like had it over where you are. It was a social media site called Bebo. I've never heard of that, but you did mention it.
00:38:39
Speaker
Yeah so honestly I'm convinced it was like a UK slash like European only or not only but not many people in like the US and Canada and that side of the world like used it but people was like just like a proto kind of social media site it was great it was like before the days of you know copyright and everything and I mean it was great for its time
00:39:04
Speaker
before everyone moved on to Facebook. But I used to have a gaming group with just a couple of friends that I had in school. Yeah, it was kind of interesting that way because that was the days where it's like you could download the audio from YouTube videos. I mean you still can technically but it was like you would do that and kind of put in the audio into videos and things.
00:39:28
Speaker
After a minute the videos I did were like kind of stupid compilation videos and things like that. Like really like basic like this was made in Windows Movie Maker where I just spliced everything together and that was that was kind of interesting to me at the time but then I kind of fell not fell out of love with it but it was like as people were moving on to like Facebook the group kind of just died down and
00:39:53
Speaker
I kind of moved away from YouTube but I always saw like people going like other content creators on YouTube make all of this stuff and it's probably for the best that I didn't have like a good computer at the time or like access to a camera otherwise I would be known as that Scottish guy who makes who makes an ass of himself volume 12 or something like that yeah so fortunately I didn't have that
00:40:17
Speaker
although technically and I'm not going to reveal what it is because it's so embarrassing but there is a video not of me but there is a video that I had made years ago it was like a sprite video and I remember it was 10 years ago I made this and apparently now it has I'll tell you after basically I think that got like 8.5 thousand views or something from 10 years ago and it's because yeah it's because I use audio from
00:40:46
Speaker
How to put this? I used audio from Dragon Ball Z. That's all I'll say. Why? And yeah, it was. Yeah, like I can see why it was successful because it was just such a stupid. It wasn't a drag. Just for context, it wasn't a Dragon Ball Z video. But oh my God, it was just so embarrassing when I was like looking at it and I was just like.
00:41:09
Speaker
how is this it's like now i'm kind of trying to put like good content out and i'm like how after 10 years has this got like 8.5 000 views and everything i'm doing now like mine's barely have like 100 in fact they barely have 50 never mind 100 and i'm like how
00:41:27
Speaker
Oh, the funniest thing, like when you told me that story, it just hit me about a video that I dropped years ago on the when Blowfish Man TV was still on YouTube and was a voice acting channel. So do you remember that one viral video of that one red panda that got scared of the rock and was like literally from it? Oh, I'm feeling that. Like when I did was a little bit of context here is that before I get into what the video was.
00:41:52
Speaker
Do you remember an internet legend who's currently known as Joji named Francis of the Filth or Filthy Frank? Oh, yes. Why do we just fuck like this all the time? You like that? Oh, yeah. So what I did was I was also super into Filthy Frank at the time, right? So I was like, you know what? What we're going to do is we're going to take this video of this scared, adorable little red panda and then we're going to give it Frank's voice, make a reaction based off like improv that I had in my head.
00:42:22
Speaker
Like, you know how many views that video got? Oh, go tell me. It was like, it got like, yeah, like 5.8K views, and then like, so many people commenting on it, and then like, there's this one guy's like, oh my god, I found this on iFunny, and it made my day. This is such a good video. I'm like, what? It's on iFunny? That's literally me.
00:42:39
Speaker
I was like, I made it onto iFunny? What the hell? And I'm pretty sure that was the last video I drew. When you're just telling everyone that, Dave, like, look, I've made it. I'm on iFunny. I'm on iFunny, guys. Look at that. Oh my god. Yeah. Oh my god. I can see why that would go viral right enough.
00:43:02
Speaker
Yeah, because at the same time Filthy Frank was still super popular. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that is a blast from the past. Because it is, it's honestly like, see when you go back to like channels you used to watch when you were growing up and like channels that inspire you and you're like, oh, where are they now? And then you're like, oh, they're either no longer like uploading or the new stuff that they're uploading is just it's not as good, maybe. I mean, it does happen much. And one day it'll happen to me. Oh, my God.
00:43:31
Speaker
So kind of a one on from that, have you got any favorite moments, like just one more kind of reminiscing there about like content creation, have you got any favorite moments from streaming?
Memorable Streaming Moments
00:43:43
Speaker
Right now, there's a lot, I'm not gonna lie. The quickest thing that comes to mind was that pop that I got just for holding a funeral for my monitor.
00:43:54
Speaker
That's like the first thing that came to mind just now the second funniest thing that ever happened Well, obviously my only two wins and fall guys. They were both clipped. I was just so happy that day Yeah, honestly, like those are so far the three things that come to mind. Yeah, and I guess
00:44:11
Speaker
I don't know if you saw this out of context, but when I was playing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Banks clipped it. I was laughing so much, right? I think currently this probably takes the cake as of right now, where it's like, I was fighting, well, you mind spoilers? Because I know you probably want to do it. Okay, so you're basically fighting Dio when he's like super powered and he calls himself Dio over heaven, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the whole fight was basically like a Jotaro and Jolin versus him, right?
00:44:38
Speaker
and um you know i i run up to him and i give him a star finger right and i hate it i don't know if i'm allowed to say this on stream it'll get my kitchen job i was like i just start bro you know that yeah i realized what it said and i burst out laughing and i got like five of the same like chat flood music what did you just say and like i just see the same clip like posted oh no i couldn't stop laughing like oh god what did i say
00:45:06
Speaker
that is the worst. See when you're like right into the game and then you say something and then it's either you catch yourself before that and you do a kind of and stuff or you just go ahead and you outright say it and you're just like yeah probably shouldn't have said that.
00:45:29
Speaker
I was like laughing because I realized what I said like a second after and I'm like, yeah Let it be with the same clip. Oh my god, that was too good Amazing right you dude like any any any favorite moments from your your stream that could come to mind I
00:45:47
Speaker
I mean, other than the Phasmophobia one where I just like kept screaming. In fact, there's a good outlast moment where I can't even remember what it was. Oh, that was it. So basically there's a moment where you're walking through like this garden and
00:46:09
Speaker
I was getting annoyed because I kept getting lost. It wasn't very clear about where you were supposed to go and I finally found the way to go. You can hear it on the clap I turned round and I say something like, oh thank god I finally worked out a puzzle. As soon as you walked round
00:46:26
Speaker
the there's like lightning that flashes and then one of the main enemies that stalks you throughout the entire you're the big uh pig man guy yeah or the guy that calls you little pig like he just appears right in front of you and i let out the most blood curdling
00:46:43
Speaker
and I would just stoop and I honestly like I don't know what I make a stroke quite a lot but I genuinely don't know what my neighbors must think when I'm playing a game like that and just all they hear is me just screaming and they'll just be like ah there goes that satsu boy again just screaming what's he up to this time he's probably you know playing some stupid horror game you know you know I wouldn't be surprised um I suppose beyond you know favorite like
00:47:12
Speaker
moments for myself, you know, where I just like scream or, you know, basically, I was going to say make an ass of myself but I suppose that's kind of part, that is part and partial of being a streamer.
00:47:22
Speaker
you're just like literally like half the job yeah exactly and it's as you said yeah it's as you said like if you can't laugh at yourself you know with these clips then yeah it's like it feels as if like streaming is definitely like a personal thing like when you've got like an audience or you've got the chat there that are talking to you they're supporting you and i mean i've had loads of moments like that where people have come into the chat and they've said
00:47:49
Speaker
oh I'm not having a good day or they've said you know oh I'm just coming here to chill and I don't know like especially with the outlast stream I was really surprised at that there was a there was a person who was like oh I'm
00:48:03
Speaker
I'm just back from school or I'm just back from this or that or I've just not been having a good day you know and I'm just hoping that a bit of outlast cheers me up which I have to admit we're choice a game to cheer yourself up at but at the same time I mean it's happened in other games but like
00:48:21
Speaker
the fact that if someone turned round and says you know oh as long as you know as long as i'm like cheering them up or hoping to cheer them up then i mean that is quite a wholesome thing like i think no like it's so nice going back like really far to when
00:48:38
Speaker
like when I started streaming I had to admit I only had like a handful of friends who would check out my streams and those were just like real life friends and don't get me wrong like I do like absolutely appreciate them they're amazing people but it almost felt as if like I was constantly streaming to them but I wasn't really getting an audience around that and I know like looking back and I know why like I didn't put myself out there enough and
00:49:04
Speaker
yeah there was like a lot of things that I could have done better back then but it was getting me really down like I was kind of thinking what am I doing wrong where other people are doing the exact same game but yeah they are getting better you know they're getting like lots of views and I'm doing the exact same thing and I'm not and you know like there are reasons there's definitely reasons for it like I remember I was doing Sonic oh not Sonic 06 god imagine that no it was um Sonic Adventure and there was this random streamer who came in um
00:49:34
Speaker
so his name was MTRZ Gaming who is quite a regular in the chat, really nice guy and he just started chatting to me like through the chat and that was chatting to him and it was kind of weird because it's like you know how you get your first person in the chat that you don't know that starts chatting to you so initially like i was quite wary i was kind of like oh who's this
00:49:56
Speaker
And then eventually you kind of let your guard down when they turned out they're not too bad. And I remember as I was closing the stream, I was like, I did my usual, you're like, oh, thank you guys for coming, and you're so on and so forth. I don't mean that in a bad way, by the way. Oh, thank you guys, bye.
00:50:15
Speaker
here you know like oh see you later and before I was about to close the stream he sent a message like in the chat saying I can't remember what it was something like um oh by the way I dropped you a follow-up because at that time I didn't know what stream labs was because I was like streaming directly from my xbox so I was like yeah oh thank you you know I thanked him I was like oh thank you and then he turned around and he said oh no problem I really enjoyed your stream and it's always so nice to hear from a viewer yeah
00:50:42
Speaker
and it's especially like because don't get me wrong like as I said I really appreciate my friends all like supporting me and dropping in and everything but it's like see when they're random like when I mean I don't want to be like oh a random stranger but you know when a stranger comes into like your chat they watch your stuff and then they're just like out of the blue they just turn around and they say oh yeah no problem I really enjoyed your content it's kind of quite a boost oh yeah 100% I get that too like um
00:51:09
Speaker
All the JoBros that jumped in, I was like, the very first JoJo stream I did, I was like, look, the moment that they realize they don't just play JoJo, I'm going to get a bunch of unfalls. It was nice while it lasted, right? Because I've had that happen where I'm not going to name any names, but I used to stream a lot of Fall guys every Friday with like, Bronx and JJoa.
00:51:28
Speaker
And then there was a random viewer who wanted to play and he was really cool, super cool dude. And then when he realized it wasn't a fall guy streamer, he just up and dipped, right? So I was like, Oh, well, that's cool. Thanks. You know what I mean? I was expecting that kind of thing from all the Joe bros who stuck around, which is awesome. And yeah, you know, and then they always say like, Oh, you know, I had a crappy day at school, but like, Hey, at least blowfish man streaming. You know what I mean? I was like that, like, that, like every time they put that, I'm just like, guys, it's so much that like, this is why wholesome is there. You know what I mean?
00:51:56
Speaker
not only for me to help you cheer you guys up, but I like doing it, which is why I don't mind if that channel point redemption is spammed. I'm like, sure. That's like a wholesome spam. I don't mind that. Oh, and talking about one of my favorite moments, it was when you found me through that raid. I don't know if you were in for this raid when he was still nath though, when he raided me the first time. And I was going after the gothic dad love interest in Dream Daddy.
00:52:24
Speaker
And I was like wearing black lipstick and like an Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt and like black jeans I like I had like a whole goth look fake septum piercing Like that was like the funniest day like that was the funniest outfit ever pulled off And I feel like like it also brought in a lot of new people because of that I wouldn't have never met naff and I would have probably never met you dude Which is kind of funny how things work out, right?
00:52:46
Speaker
It really is. It's like the randomness of Twitch. But 9 times out of 10, the friends you make on Twitch are so random. Because it is, it's like, I think, obviously because of nath... Because the reason I came across nathganes was because of
00:53:05
Speaker
and this is going to be really weird as well but my friend who goes by the name Green Shields 95 on Twitch, really awesome guy. I went to university with him and he was actually there when I came up with the Sat Tsunami pun. I was a friend I was talking about. Every Friday it kind of became a bit of a tradition that we would play a kind of co-op game and we were playing a Pokemon Emerald in this lock
00:53:33
Speaker
and it was really interesting because I think Naphas said on the stream that he is a huge fan of Pokemon Emerald. I think he's done it himself, I could be wrong on that but I'm 90% sure because I know he's done a lot of Pokemon games. He has.
00:53:52
Speaker
I'm sure he did. But anyway, so we did a Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke together and he randomly dropped in. I can't remember what, maybe he was just passing or what it was but he just dropped in and he was a really chill guy. I just remember talking to him and
00:54:08
Speaker
talking about shared experiences and things like that. And then it was one day when, and I feel like almost I'm calling them out for my own laziness, but there was one day where I had to do my gardening because it was honestly looking like germanji out there.
00:54:24
Speaker
I kind of, I looked at my phone, I saw Naff was online and I thought you know what, I'll give him a follow, I'll give him a lurk because I was like yeah he was kind enough to come to the stream so I'm gonna go and like see what this guy is all about and then as soon as I got in like I heard him do the voice and it's kind of similar to you it's like as soon as I heard him do the voices the energy just everything or the presentation and everything it was just that was it it was like I was hooked and I'm kind of like on the one hand I'm like I've got to cut my grass but on the other hand
00:54:54
Speaker
I'm looking at my phone like, this stream is really good. It's like, should I be responsible today? Or should I leave it for future Satsu and like a week later? Yeah, see future Satsu, he is such a great guy because he picks up all of my flak honestly.
00:55:14
Speaker
whether it be, yeah, saying, oh I'll update later or... yeah that is, by the way, one of the banes of my existence. So you're like, is he going to play a game? So this was kind of like a running joke between me and... so I've got two other friends, one of which is Banks and the other one...
00:55:31
Speaker
as a friend to like co-host Chatsunami frequencies, Adam. Basically like when I was starting off, I don't know if I've said this like live on stream but when I began I was doing like a Pokémon Nuzlocke run but because my computer that I got, I don't want to talk bad about it but my friend gave me like an old computer he was getting rid of but it was and I mean it was like someone gave him one and then
00:55:55
Speaker
he was like, oh yeah, you can hold on to it for a while. So I was like, oh great, it means I can maybe start streaming with it. And yeah, it just unfortunately did not work. It kept crashing every so often. So I have got the old clips on my YouTube channel. It's not a good run.
00:56:17
Speaker
It's like the very, very early days when I was just getting into streaming and it was just like me and my friends talking and things like that. And those were the days when I was kind of like I started like doing it irregularly and I was just like maybe streaming's not for me. And I kind of considered like at that point thinking maybe I should just quit streaming.
00:56:38
Speaker
but I'm really glad I didn't. I'm glad I just kept persisting because there was a period where I kept streaming and then I stopped for like a week or two and there was like a huge gap where I was just like I don't really know and then I kind of got back into it because I started streaming directly on the xbox which is a whole lot easier it's just click a button that's it you don't have to worry about anything else but then some of my friends were like do you want to do a close stream?
00:57:05
Speaker
and I was like yeah why not and we did a GTA V co-stream and it was like just a very kind of casual you know stream messing about like the collaboration on the collaboration what do you call it the compilation that's the other one yeah the compilation I've got Saturday brain it's just that's okay dude like I know the feel I know the feel
00:57:29
Speaker
But yeah, the compilation video is up on YouTube and it's just like, it's got the best bits of like a three hour stream. I think it was three, yeah it was, I think up until I did my six hour stream of Sonic 06, that was my longest stream that I'd ever done because the way I got into streaming was like, I really wanted to do content creation and I have tried like a lot of things, like I've tried YouTube, I've tried
00:57:52
Speaker
like writing and things like that. I've tried like a lot of things. I even tried a blog at one point which, yeah, hit or miss. But yeah, eventually like one of my friends was like, oh, why don't you try Twitch? And I was like, yeah, I don't know. Because yeah, because I'm not like, you know, don't, I was gonna say, don't let my friends or anyone else convince you otherwise. I am not a confident person in real life.
00:58:18
Speaker
like in Twitch. It's weird because I don't know if you feel like this but like you know on Twitch it almost feels like not that you're a different person like when I'm stepping into like streaming I feel as if I'm stepping in to be Sat Tsunami if you know what I mean. Whereas like as soon as I turn off the computer and everything I just go back to being you know just
00:58:41
Speaker
I was going to say, yeah, just off-stream Satsunami. I suppose it's the right term. Satsu after hours. Yes, Satsu after hours, exactly. That's what you have to pay a premium for. If you want to be a Tsimtsunami, then get them all out. You should call you and chat to your three Tsimtsunamis. Let's go to get that, you know, Satsu after dark content. Come on. It's like, you know that meme, but it's like, attention, all Tsimtsunamis. Satsunami, need your help.
00:59:19
Speaker
You know I do my very best to try to be like sort of similar online and offline but like after I turn off the camera I just go eat I just
00:59:28
Speaker
know, chill, right? I read manga, I listen to music, I work with a back smasher who's the guitarist to teach how their little, you know, record label slash artist group, all that kind of thing. And you know, like, I'm just really just chilling at home, you know, like just doing my own thing. Whereas you see me on Blowfish Man, I was like, oh, wholesome and all that kind of thing. And like me laughing at like little things and
00:59:51
Speaker
yeah because i think i have to admit obviously because i know we are kind of just like at the starting point of twitch but we are it's like i see like the huge streamers that you see that i've got like a chat that like honestly if you touch the chat your hand would just come right off because it's going so fast like up and up
01:00:13
Speaker
and it's like they're not like obviously they can't keep up with the chat because it's going so fast but it's like if you're making that you know they're if they're making it their profession or their career and they're having to go like a hundred percent all the time and kind of keep up this persona like eventually you're gonna get burned out like as you said like what you do I think that's great that
01:00:36
Speaker
you manage just to switch off and kind of go into other hobbies or interests or things like that. Because otherwise if you're 110% like into streaming and like you know like if you're dedicating all your waking hours to streaming you're gonna get burned out eventually.
01:00:54
Speaker
right yeah because i mean there's loads of videos i don't know if you've have you seen those videos where it's like the top twitch tips and advice and all of this oh yeah by like alpha gaming or something yeah but it's like it's not even those ones it's like the ones that are probably like a couple down from them
01:01:13
Speaker
they're like oh to do it you have to they talk about a thing called the grind and it's like oh if you want to be a twitch streamer you have to you know stream every day you have to be you know all of this like i can see what they're trying to get at like they're in the mindset of i don't know like the wolf a wolf street mindset i suppose where it's like yeah like go big or go home yeah exactly yeah you have to like get right in there you have to
01:01:39
Speaker
promote your brand and everything. And on the one hand I can see what they mean. I can see that putting your all into something that is important. I get that. But if you're doing that constantly, you're gonna get tired, you're gonna get burned out. That is one of the things I have to struggle with. Having
01:02:00
Speaker
a lot of them like streaming trends who are in different time zones because it is really annoying because like especially with you as well because you're streaming over there and there's about a four hour time difference between us I think.
01:02:16
Speaker
yeah like four or five hours four or five yeah and it is it's difficult sometimes if you're starting later and it's like yeah there's a lot of people that i want to support but i can't because it just doesn't match up which is a shame because it's a shame
01:02:31
Speaker
Yeah, I hate timezones, I have to say. There's always those special exceptions. For example, I don't know if you were there yesterday on my stream, but Bims, who's a viewer of mine from Austria, the guy was just like, oh, I should go to sleep because it's like 4 AM over here. You're streaming. So I was like, dude, go to sleep. Don't worry about that. Three times a week.
01:02:52
Speaker
I always tell all my viewers, you guys don't have to be here for the whole stream. If you guys are going to pop in for five minutes because you have other things to do, that's fine. Saying hi, saying bye, at least I know you came through. They don't have to stay for the whole three, four hours. They really don't because I'm like, real life kicks in here and there and you got to deal with it at the end of the day.
01:03:12
Speaker
that's why I only do like streaming like three times a week because like I don't know if I could be able to do it for five times a week I was like I don't think I'd be able to then I just start treating it like a job you know and I don't really want to do that I mean it is definitely important like to keep a schedule like to build up people but at the same time it's like yeah it's like what you said it's like if you're taking a hobby like streaming and then I mean you're gonna be honest like you're trying to like promote it and make it better all the time but if you're
01:03:42
Speaker
constantly going like that and you're making that into a job and things it's kind of stripping away the fun from it because and I mean that's kind of lead on to like what I was gonna ask next about what would you say is like the most important part of being like a twitch
Advice for New Streamers
01:03:59
Speaker
streamer?
01:03:59
Speaker
uh personally dude like uh i remember when uh i'm sure you've seen both of them in my chat diego brando and skittles when they first joined my community right i was playing you know resident evil 2 before squad stream they both asked me is like hey like i want to start streaming someday like what's your advice and you know i've i still say this to like everyone who really wants to start up i'm like no
01:04:19
Speaker
Make sure you're making content that makes you happy. Make sure you're doing it for you. Obviously, streaming takes a lot of energy. It really does. Make sure that if you actually want to build a following, consistency is key. That's one of the number one things.
01:04:34
Speaker
And that so far has worked for me, right? I'm like, okay, like, you know, my consistency is paying off, which is awesome, right? And it's a schedule that and make sure that that schedule works for you, whether it's once, three times a week, two times a week, like, so that your community knows when you're on at least, like, even if it's on, if you're on for like once a week, you know what I mean? Another thing is like, yeah, make sure you're doing it for fun, right? Because in my opinion, if you're not doing it for fun, I don't think you're gonna last on streaming.
01:05:00
Speaker
And not to knock on people who want to do it for the money or do it for other reasons. That's their agenda. I'm not going to tell them how to run their stream, live their life, all that kind of thing. But me personally, I couldn't do it if I was just like, yeah, money. Money is the number one thing on this. I'm going to have to do it five times a week. Just make that money. I was like, I can't do that. I know so many. Here's the thing, Saksi. I'm friends with a bunch of people who have that mindset. I'm doing it for the money. I don't care what my job is. It pays a lot. And I'm like,
01:05:27
Speaker
It's great and all, but I can't really do that. You know what I mean? I honestly couldn't, right? So that like my number one thing with streaming is go into it. I'm thinking you're gonna have fun with it. Number one thing. And you know, and I told him it's like the moment you hit affiliate, like don't expect like a fat paycheck of like a million dollars because then I was like once your first paycheck is probably gonna be like maybe a hundred if you're lucky. You know what I mean?
01:05:51
Speaker
but like yeah don't mind the money you know money will come eventually and then you'll figure things out and yeah it just all comes naturally don't force anything right oh no definitely i mean there are a lot of kind of misconceptions i think and i think we discussed that earlier but it's like the misconceptions of going into twitch i remember watching a lot of youtube videos and there were a lot of people who like they they kind of slated streamers as a whole because you always got these fail compilations of you know top tier streamers that
01:06:20
Speaker
they slipped on camera they said the wrong things you know that kind of there was this such a negative kind of place around it and i think definitely that does put a lot of people off because it's that kind of negative bubble like i heard like a lot of bad things about twitch before i came on which made me a bit nervous about it i have to admit though like i haven't seen much of that so far
01:06:43
Speaker
Don't get me wrong, I've seen bits and pieces here and there but I feel as if overall it's been a very positive experience and it's definitely finding your community and finding your niche. I know I'm probably going to sound biased here but I absolutely love See The Community.
01:07:01
Speaker
like in the frames that I made along the way. It sounds like a Hallmark movie when I'm like. It sounds like an anime but like Jesus it sounds dude it's very true at the end of the day. Absolutely I mean it is because you get this as I said like going in I was just expecting oh god here we go. You know that thing that's from GT where it's like oh shit here we go again.
01:07:24
Speaker
and it's like here we go again and it's like you're walking towards twitch like away from youtube thinking okay i've not had any success there maybe if i try twitch but like after i got past that threshold like i do think at the very beginning the first 50 followers are the hardest to get because you're coming in like as a relatively unknown streamer
01:07:48
Speaker
And unless you have a huge following, like if you're a voice actor or I'm going to sound really old and be like if you're a TikToker or a YouTuber, if you've already got a presence elsewhere and you jump in, you're going to get a lot more follows and views and things like that.
01:08:06
Speaker
That's expected, but if you're coming in from the bottom floor and you're just working your way up, those first 50, especially for me, like I started in, I think it was like the end of March, like definitely either the end of March or early April. I think it was early April where I started like kind of pushing myself a lot more. Yeah, I didn't get to 15 until I think July, maybe?
01:08:29
Speaker
And that was a lot of me like spamming my links around trying to get people to, it sounds like so anime being like, notice me people, notice me senpai, yeah. But when I first started, man, I was posting my link in all the good chats I was in, right?
01:08:48
Speaker
eventually came to the point like say a month later I was like I kind of feel bad because you know and then I asked I remember asked one of my group chats like hey are you guys a hundred percent cool with me doing this like let me know to just like if you're if anyone's not cool they're like feel free to tell me just don't do it again I like don't do
01:09:04
Speaker
And I was just like, no, no, it's cool. Cause that way we know when you're on, right? So I still feel bad doing it though. I was like, but this is the group chat where we all talk, you know what I mean? And then now, you know, like I'm at a decent following where I'm like, I don't even need to do that anymore. It's all going to be on discord. Or, you know, you have like crazy folks like Darkie and sicko on Twitch who just pop in shout outs to them. Like right when we started, I'm like, isn't it like midnight for you guys? Like, I don't care. I'm like, okay.
01:09:28
Speaker
It gets to that point. Now I don't really need to do that sort of thing. The most I do is maybe post it in other people's discords if that's cool at the end of the day. It was for me when I was starting out, I would always post in the appropriate places, as long as it was cool with other people. I have to admit, I feel bad because as I said before getting into Twitch,
01:09:52
Speaker
I had no idea about anything. I wasn't savvy about Twitch at all. I kind of had to do a crash course and see in what's what. And I don't understand it 100%. Some things that they do, I'm just like, I've got no idea what I'm doing. The jiff of the dog was just like, I have no idea what I'm doing. And I'm like, look, it's me.
01:10:13
Speaker
pretty much it's like we're like the cat meme where it's like, you know, they have like the sunglasses on. It's like chemistry set. I'm like, Oh, yeah. No idea what I'm doing. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's literally me right now on Twitch as well. Because I was just like behind it. Well, oh, yeah. Oh, definitely. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry. I'll delete this part and then I just don't worry.
01:10:34
Speaker
Don't let the secret get out, you know? What secret? Like just snap it, you know? You're good. You're good. No one's ever going to find out. The other queens already touched the reference. There. Going.
01:10:51
Speaker
we're good oh yeah but yeah it was like yeah before i was doing that to my friends i was saying oh do you want to check me out on um you know twitch and usually like back then before i had um 50 followers like i had a two or three average i mean that was like the bit that i was okay with thanks to like my friends being so supportive but yeah it's like before then they were all saying things like how does twitch work and
01:11:18
Speaker
They were like, how does Twitch work? What is this and that? And I was trying to learn along with them. Now I know one of my friends, in fact no, one, two, three. At least three or four of them are active on Twitch now. Like one of them is now a streamer in his own right. Shout out to GreenShield95.
01:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, he's like starting streaming. S-Banks, he is, like honestly, it's so funny because like either I'm on your stream or I'm on other people's streams and like a wee chat and saying, hey, how's the stream going? And then bam, S-Banks just underneath me, you know, just like pops a message and I'm like, when did you get here? In fact, that's what I was watching like a, I was watching a streamer called NZ and she does like a lot of really good
01:12:06
Speaker
like Call of Duty gameplay. And yeah, it was like I was talking on her stream, and then all of a sudden, lo and behold, Ace Banks just crept in. And I was like, when did you get in here? And I'm like a Zawardo moment. It's like, when did you get there? As Megzio confirmed. Yeah. I was like, you've been here the entire time? Always have been.
01:12:30
Speaker
I remember that one time, I think I went into your stream and I made a Jojo reference and you're like, oh, Blowfish Man, you're approaching me? And I'm like, I can't spam the like button. I can't spam the follow button if I can't get close to you.
01:12:45
Speaker
That is honestly like one of the best moments even you just click like with a reference or something because I remember I can't remember if it was I was talking to you before like Nafre did your stream. I'm trying to think I can't remember if it was before that. I think I literally only found out about you when Nafre did me when I was wearing that gothic outfit. Maybe it was because I'm trying to remember if it wasn't you then there was probably someone else I was making JoJo references.
01:13:15
Speaker
Because I think he had made it on the stream and then there were two people and well me and someone else in the chat and we were making JoJo references to one another and it was just like you know that way when it's just like you see someone with your interest and you're just like what the spider-man pointing meme and you're just like
01:13:42
Speaker
I love that so much too. Oh, it's just, it's like an amazing feeling. I remember what Nash said when he saw me like the black lipstick and everything. And he's just like, Hey, do you watch Jojo? I was like, I'm starting to get into it. Why? What's up? He's like, you kind of remind me of like, Dio. Then I looked, I'm like, Oh my God. He has like a green lipstick. And I'm like, Oh no, that was literally me.
01:14:04
Speaker
yeah honestly like it honestly feels like see when you start streaming and it feels like you've been streaming for ages like you know the memes you get where it's like you see someone saying i'm gonna you know it's like the fresh face it's the first day of doing something and they're like i'm gonna be the best streamer ever and then it's like three months later and it's just like this troubled face like how long you used to look so happy what happened
01:14:34
Speaker
What happened? I'm like... ground me down. Oh my goodness. So yeah, beyond streaming as well, somebody told me, and by that I mean we have been talking about it off stream, that you are also into music in a particular band.
01:15:01
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, back in chat too. Shout out to Back Smasher, who is also my older brother. Like that is actually not a meme. We are, we are actual blood brothers for people who actually think we're memeing like dead serious. Oh yeah, about music. So it all started like how this whole music thing started was me and Back Smasher, we both went to, you know, an arts high school. And the main thing in there was music, right?
01:15:21
Speaker
We basically got classically trained, and then eventually, we start to branch out. Because they only really taught us a set amount of instruments. They taught us piano. They taught us how to sing. They taught us violin and organ. I know, right? That's super old school. So they taught us, those were the main four things they would teach us in music school, and of course, basic music theory. But eventually, some of the people in there decided to try and learn guitar by themselves. And Backsmasher, my older brother, was one of those guys, right?
01:15:50
Speaker
And for me, since I played bass guitar in the band, there's always stereotypes of bassists never getting noticed, and always making fun of them. It's like, oh, the bassist is used to this, this, this, and this, right? So the thing is, number one, because of those stereotypes, I was sort of into that. I was just like, good, I'm not really looking to get noticed. I just want to get good at an instrument that
01:16:11
Speaker
not a lot of people really want to play, right?
Musical Journey and Band Origins
01:16:13
Speaker
Yeah. Because like, I'm a hot commodity, essentially, right? Yeah. And like, I don't know, the moment I hit that first E string on the basic star, it hurt like hell, because I've never played a basic star, you got to like, build up those calluses, right? Oh, low growly tone. I'm like, you know, this kind of sounds pretty badass.
01:16:31
Speaker
that's how like I started learning bass guitar man it was like a it was like a training arc that you see in like typical like shonen mangas where like the main character pushes himself to his limit to get better to catch up to like child prodigy in his class you know what I mean like I was like I was going crazy like I was playing every day it got really bad because like the calluses were starting to look like red and pussy and I'm like oh I've been going
01:16:52
Speaker
way to have. That's how I know, right? So I had to let them heal. The month they did, it was just, I just started practicing more and more and yeah. Oh, sorry, you're going to say something. No, no, I was just going to say, what was I going to say? Yeah, just when you say it's about the montage, about animators. I can say that the seven-page muta, it's like the seven-page strum, where you're just- Yeah, pretty much. And it's like, ow! That was pretty much me the whole time, ow!
01:17:15
Speaker
Oh, that sounds good. I remember, I practiced so, so much over the summer vacation. And then grade 10 came, and everyone was just like, how did you get so good so quick? I literally practiced every day. I kid you not. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah.
01:17:34
Speaker
Because of that, I kept going on with it back when I sure kept playing his guitar. He and I would always do covers of songs that we would love. We'd post them on things like Facebook video, which was super ghetto. I don't know if those old videos are still of us covering metal songs that we both loved, and I was in grade 12. He was in second, third-year university, something like that.
01:17:55
Speaker
So then eventually, you know, we became the music guys, both even in our universities, we went to the same university, like I started to get more well known because there wasn't a lot of basis. And then people would be like, Oh, you play bass. That's so cool. Instead, like I was so used to hearing it back in our schools, you play bass. Okay, right. Yeah. So that was like a whole different thing. It was like, wait, what people actually
01:18:14
Speaker
what? Okay, shit. You know what I mean? Yeah. So yeah, eventually, like I mean, shortening the story of Backsmash and I sort of became like, you know, the music guys in our universities as well. You know, I was in a bunch of like metal and hard rock acts too. So that it's essentially like what sort of like, influenced my playing and writing style, like just being in all those kind of bands, right?
01:18:37
Speaker
And then we're going to fast forward a bit to when T-child was formed. First of all, I quote Back Smasher on this. I remember he said this on stream once. The name T-child is actually a huge joke because
01:18:51
Speaker
So a little bit of an origin story behind why T-child is T-child for the name sake. There's a Korean barbecue place in Toronto called Chaco's, right? And then literally translate that to Japanese and it literally makes T-child, right? And like, we're just like, and as a joke, me and our singer Hannah and Back Smasher would always be like, oh, we should go for Chaco's. Like, cause that place was like a 20, not like 24 hour, but open until like 3 AM. Like at like, there was like a running gag between us. Like we should go to Chaco's at like midnight and like, you know, eat all their food and shit, right?
01:19:21
Speaker
Yeah. And then one time that actually did happen, which was so funny, but we came in at last call. Oh, yeah. It was like one. I was like, okay, you can only order this amount of food. We're like, okay, cool. Right. Um,
01:19:33
Speaker
Yeah, because of that running gag, that's how the name was formed. Right. And then we would get together. This is early in like late 2019, early 2020. Uh, we would get together at our singer's house and then, you know, we'd actually sit down and have like serious business meetings and all that, you know, like, uh, we all had a common ground where we're like, look, we want to release content. We want to release music. Right. Um, and we're tired of like people who we collab with and then they end up flopping. Right. Cause like me and back smasher and Hannah, we're all like, we were all ready to go. We were already.
01:20:01
Speaker
like we had the energy so then you know we decided to and then we're like okay so what are we gonna start with right like what's gonna be like our first EP gonna sound like right and I believe it's either Mir Hana who came up with it or and Back Smasher was on board he was like we were like hey how do how about we like cover like classic anime openings that everybody knows right yeah so that was our first that was our first EP we covered an art opening a bleach opening um
01:20:26
Speaker
And then we were having trouble deciding what the last two songs were going to be. It was only four songs. One of them was from a song. It was a song that Backsmash and I really liked. I heard the song in grade seven and I loved it. I didn't care what language it was in. It just sounded cool, right? And then we showed it to Hannah and she was like, yeah, you know, I'm kind of down to cover this too, right? Turns out that we didn't know, but that song is an opening for a baseball anime. We're like, huh?
01:20:50
Speaker
So this counts, you know what I mean? I'm like, okay, I guess that's going on the EP. And then the fourth song, I think I'm the one who stumbled upon it, or not too sure. But I was watching, I'm sure you know the anime Demon Slayer, right? I still love it to this day. And I'm like, you know, I feel like this would be a good addition to the EP. And then, you know, I showed it to Bax, and she's like,
01:21:10
Speaker
Yeah, I'm kind of down with it. And then Hannah was much more of a demon slayer fanatic than I was. She's like, oh, we're going to do this? Yeah, let's go. And she practiced the song and everything. And then, yeah, we dropped that album in January 2020, or like early, no, sorry, early February 2020. And ever since then, we've been on a roll. We've been covering. Then we start to branch out to another Japanese music artist. The song Heavy Rotation wasn't an anime opening per se, but it was just Japanese music in general.
01:21:39
Speaker
And then, yeah, now we've released August Night, which is another by another Japanese rock band, which is funny enough, which is about your typical, like, shoujo anime sort of feels like, oh, I love this boy, and I'm gonna, you know, confess my feelings to him and get with him, you know what I mean?
01:21:56
Speaker
And then a week later was our very first K-pop song that we dropped, right? Because we're also big into K-pop, too. Like, I do listen to K-pop unironically. People conclude me on that. And because some of the stuff sounds so good, right? So, yeah, the second song was basically about breaking up with your crush or breaking up with your boyfriend and remembering or your significant other and remembering the good times. And like, it's like the first week was like, oh, like the honeymoon phase. Then the second week is like, OK, we're done.
01:22:23
Speaker
right? It's kind of funny how that all works out. And then I'm glad that a lot of people really loved when we were us. I'm like, okay, because Backsmasher and I were working on that since the beginning of the pandemic, when it was literally just a bunch of synths and a drum machine.
Exploring Musical Influences and New Releases
01:22:37
Speaker
And we had no idea what to write for it. I'm like, damn, how far this song has come from just being a bunch of noises and hitting things to an actual music piece. You know what I mean? That is awesome.
01:22:49
Speaker
And I mean, that is a great song as well, because I'd listened to it when you dropped it and I was just like, it's like I tuned into it. I was like, OK, let's go. And then two seconds later, I was like, this is awesome. This is just it has. And that's the back smasher for putting up the translations, because I remember one of my viewers was like, hey, I really like your new song, but I wish I knew what the lyrics meant. I'm like, I'm pretty sure back smasher just put up a translation like five minutes ago. She's like, OK, I'm going to go see what's up, like what the song means. I'm like, it's really sad just wanting you.
01:23:17
Speaker
she comes back and spams like the bible thump in my discord and i was just laughing like i told you it was gonna be sad. You honestly see the amount of songs like you listen to and you're like oh this is such a catchy beat you know or oh this is such a great song and then you like read up and what is actually about and you're like oh
01:23:36
Speaker
It's so sad. It's like, why? Pretty much, right? It's so true. But no, it is great. Like, T-shy old music, like, your band is just like, that is just awesome. It really is. Thank you so much. No, definitely. And yeah, if you want to check out the stuff, is it on YouTube? It is!
01:24:00
Speaker
Did you want me to get that link and drop it in chat up to you? No, no, it's okay. Maybe at the end, just so you're not- Red at the end, sure. Okay, gotcha. I'll just get that link ready up then. Yeah, no problem. It's just to give you time. I was like, right, okay, got it. I don't want to be like, yeah, get those links ready. Yes, I get the link ready now. We discussed this before. Come on, man, stick to the script. No.
01:24:29
Speaker
So for a final topic before we wrap up, it would probably be criminal if I didn't bring it up. That of course being our mutual interest of well I suppose anime as a whole but mainly to do with Jojo.
Anime Connections and Recommendations
01:24:46
Speaker
because I have to admit so I think this is probably like when I started to click with like your stuff because look at me I'm like I came in and I thought you were doing great and then all of a sudden I think he dropped I can't remember what reference it was but it was something to do with Jojo because I think Naff had said something and then you replied with a reference and then I was just like because the only reason I was so excited was because I had to begin in a lockdown
01:25:12
Speaker
So I've got a friend who he is a massive weeb and knows a lot more anime than I do.
01:25:19
Speaker
That's not like absolving myself, by the way. Like I am a total, like, I wouldn't say a total weakness. Like I have to admit is like some of the stuff I've watched, I've like, oh, I've watched Dragon Ball and you know, like Death Note, you're the kind of the surface level ones. And then when you kind of delve deeper and watch some of the other lesser known ones, I'm like, yeah, I'm falling down the rabbit hole here.
01:25:43
Speaker
and he kept recommending judo and everybody kept like i heard the memes over i heard like this and that but it was so just for context i am terrible i am absolutely terrible see when someone says
01:26:00
Speaker
go watch something and i'm like sure i'll go watch it and then a couple of months pass and they say have you watched it and i'm like no and it's not like because i don't want to watch it it's it's just because i get lazy or i get like yeah caught up in something else like especially my friend green shield so he wanted me to watch a great pretender which i've heard is a really good show on netflix
01:26:24
Speaker
but I just haven't really had the time or I just haven't watched it so I thought when the lockdown came and of course I started working from home I was like okay fine now I've got time I might as well watch Jojo so I put it on watched the first season I thought it's okay you know
01:26:46
Speaker
Yeah, I get that feeling because I feel everyone feels that way about Jonathan's story, right? I'm like, but at the same time, it's like how Naff put it, I'm pretty sure he's the one who put it this way. He was like, part one of JoJo isn't the JoJo that everybody knows, but it's good regardless, but it's just not the JoJo that everyone knows, right? Yeah, it's like a good starting point, I think. It's a good starting point. Definitely. Because I think if they went too ham and heavy,
01:27:10
Speaker
into all the weird stuff. People would just get put off completely. I can't remember what it was. I think it was actually Steins Gate and that is an anime I probably just have to sit and push myself through. I watched the first episode and I really, I didn't even watch the full thing, I just really couldn't get into it. But it's just, it's the same with Full Metal Alchemist though.
01:27:31
Speaker
because I watched the very first episode of that, did not like it at all. Like, I thought it was. I was going to say Satsu. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood or Reginald? Oh, Brotherhood, sorry. Oh, really? Yeah, I got into it. Oh, no, no. Like, see the whole series? It's actually one of my favourites. It's like, I absolutely adore it. And I've got no shame in saying that I cried at the... A certain character. So many bad points. Yeah, there are loads of points where I was just like, God damn, they did that character dirty.
01:28:02
Speaker
It's such an emotional show and I love it but see getting over that first episode it's so difficult. It's not even that it's weird because on the one hand like sometimes I complain about shows when I'm like
01:28:16
Speaker
Oh, they're hand-holding you through this. But then on the other hand, you're kind of like... On the other hand, it's like they throw you right into brotherhood and they're just like, oh yeah, people have got powers. That's it. And you're like, wait, what? Slow down, explain. But see, once you get over that hurdle, and I feel as if it's the same with Jojo as well, it's like once you get over Jonathan's... I was surprised. I won't spoil it for anyone, but I was surprised at what they did for the ending of that part.
01:28:45
Speaker
I was too. I was like, wait, what? They actually did it? That was like, yeah. So kind of was going to say like a brief overview of Jojo, but I will take too long. But long story short, like, yeah, it's like they follow basically like this, like one family and just their descendants. So like when they switch over from one character to the other, I was really surprised. I didn't
01:29:08
Speaker
like I didn't think that's what this show was about. I was like oh vampires. I didn't know Jojo was about vampires and then like the first two seasons follow that and then they get rid of like everything that made the first two seasons and then like for seasons like or sorry parts um three to five it's yeah it's like
01:29:30
Speaker
Oh, they've all got superpowers now. Devading degrees of success. But remember, I think you did it quite well. Did you not watch part four, like right after part three? I actually did, yeah. Because I was like, when I watched the Dio vs. Jotaro fight, I was just like,
01:29:48
Speaker
look, as meme-y as this fight is, holy crap, it's well-written and pretty intense, I'm not gonna lie, right? And then I was like, hey, I gotta get into part four, because I've heard such good things about part four, right? And then I just got into it. Oh, that's so good. Like, part four is great. Like,
01:30:04
Speaker
As I said, I watched part one and two back to back and Netflix only has parts one to three, at least the UK one does. I was so annoyed because I watched part one and two, absolutely loved them. Loved part two a lot. And then when I went into part three, I was a bit annoyed that they changed it up.
01:30:24
Speaker
like instead of having like one power they switched out for another and I was kind of annoyed at that but I thought you know what let's just you know see where they go with it and it almost felt as if would you say it was like a Saturday morning cartoon up until the end? A hundred percent yeah a hundred percent yeah like
01:30:43
Speaker
I mean I felt as if every week they were just switching out new characters and I got tedious up until the deal fight at the end and that put me off for a while. I was kind of like I don't know if I want to watch and then I ended up like cashing out for a
01:31:01
Speaker
Crunchyroll, that's the word I'm looking for, for a Crunchyroll subscription. And I was like, fine, I'll watch part four because it was like a free trial. So I was like, yeah, I might as well watch it. Absolutely fell in love with it. And a message of my friend who got me into it saying, oh my God, part four is great. And just getting an old caps text message back saying, told you. And I'm like, yeah.
01:31:29
Speaker
Oh, another thing that actually got me into JoJo was like, I always want to know the origin of the, oh my God, oh no, memes. I've seen them everywhere. I mean, just like, why is this old man just yelling that at the top of his mind? It sounds funny. That's literally like, that was like me.
01:31:48
Speaker
I mean, it does explain a lot. Like, I think the Zawardo meme, that was definite. Like, I was so glad actually finding out what that was all about. I mean, I was just like, what is this power? Why does he keep yelling at the world at the top of his lungs? Who is this gold man?
01:32:08
Speaker
You know what I mean? Because I remember watching, it was like, of all things, it was a video of someone memeing on Pokemon Sword and Shield. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's like, there's this stupid, like, glitch, or not glitch, but this game thing where whenever you climb up a ladder, the whole world freezes around you. And I don't know why, like, it's just like glitchy, like just a glitchy mess, but
01:32:33
Speaker
you climb up the ladder and someone had made a compilation video and for that bit just as the guy climbed the ladder he put over the zawardo effect it's all you just hear it was amazing it was just like he's climbing like is he watching it before you're kind of like oh i don't get it like i know what it's about um but i don't quite get what the joke is but then after watching jojo you go back and watch it you're like zawardo
01:32:57
Speaker
And the noise, oh, it's just Shifka's just so good. I love that noise as loud as it is. I remember one of the things that you brought up, Satsu, was when I just came to your stream, it was like, oh, Blowfish Man, I know that you're a JoJo fan. And let me tell you this one funny thing that happened on stream. It was either your follower noise or your sub noise. Someone did one of those things.
01:33:21
Speaker
And then it crashed, right? It's the perfect crash. If I can't even stream anywhere because that's a good way to go out. Oh yeah, totally.
01:33:34
Speaker
Absolutely. Yeah, that's for my follower noise. Yeah, it's just Zawardo. Just like yelling out. My Jojo Redemption is just ZAWARDO! Oh, yeah. It's such a good idea. Oh, I remember that. Was that not one of your transitions? Yeah. Just just for like whenever people want to redeem the Joe Fishman Kennel Point Redemption. Oh, of course. Yeah. All I use it for. Yeah. It's worth it. Definitely. Jojo references are always worth it on stream.
01:34:03
Speaker
Oh yeah, all the time. Oh god, yeah, make it. Like see before I was kind of like oh I don't know but then see when I learned that you can actually customize your noises on stream and it's just like yep it's Jojo time. So before we wrap up, where can these lovely people in the chat and those who are listening at home find Blowfish Man
