As someone who is just barely getting into the idea of streaming, this was so helpful and motivating and really makes the whole venture sound like something achievable. Thanks so much for your insight.
"You are your own competition, no one else is." Love this! Only thirty-ish seconds in and already enjoying this advice video as someone prepping to start streaming on Twitch.
I am a coding beginner wanting to share my process to encourage other people getting into coding as well. That's why I am thinking of getting into streaming and your video gave me the courage to kick start that. Thank you!
I’ve been holding off streaming on twitch because I find it really intimidating, but your videos are really helpful and uplifting, and after watching them I’m going to try it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I am just starting out as well and...to be honest? I am kind of scared. It's a lot to deal with, but we have to remember to have fun, consumers can pick up on it like a hornet.
Same i havent even finished the video and i've forgotten most of it. i think i'll take a break and maybe work on my overlay first and then later i will watch this again and take notes so i dont forget.
New to twitch about a month. I am a Medically Retired Veteran, using Twitch to stave off Brain Atrophy. Thanks for this clarity, I have been stumped for 2 weeks as to how to edit my About me on my main page. now I have custom Screens, etc. all nice and spiffy. Thank you so much.
I'm very new to streaming and didn't realize how much there was to consider just to get started. It really felt like I had jumped into the deep end of the pool with barely any swimming lessons. Everything you've said has been a tremendous help for me. Thank you for going over this because I was feeling overwhelmed before I watched your video. Now I'm off to binge watch the rest of your channel. 😅😊
as someone who is now trying to start streaming after getting a ps5, this is super helpful especially the part where you mentioned that there's no competition. That really helps me and reminds me to just be myself and just vibe instead of stressing it so much.
update: I just started streaming after getting a mic, green screen etc... while I am still learning and going through the motion I still find myself coming back to this video for advice! So for anyone starting out like myself this is a great video to watch and keep going back to for feedback.
@@quacksterlol8370 THANK U!! i already started building a small one but we gonna be big one day for sure 💯 streaming is seriously my passion and i love doing it 🔥
As someone who's just getting back into UA-cam content creation and will be starting my Twitch journey next week, I can’t tell you how incredibly valuable this video and the information in it is. I was just homeless for 6 years and ironically enough starting my UA-cam journey during that time. As of four months ago, I'm now in my own place and have bought some equipment and have space to dive in and learn how to stream properly. I've shared and gave so much praise to this video and downloaded it so I will ALWAYS have it as a reference in the future. You've done more for me than you know in helping me on my path and I want to thank you tremendously for doing so🙏🏿 Keep up the amazing work as it's providing a great service to those in need of guidance and inspiration 🙏🏿
I was surprised about the "calling out lurkers" pretty much every community I've visited interacted with is greatful for the lurks. I hadn't realized "calling them out" was a thing. Excellent video 👌
Lurkers are great and streamers love them! Maybe I didn't explain well enough in the video... calling lurkers out is when you specifically talk to someone who has never spoke up in your chat bc you see their name in the viewer list. Not everyone is watching to participate in chat, and it can cause them to just leave
This is SUCH a nice, informative video! I just started streaming daily a few months ago and I see my stream growing slowly but steadily and some of these things brought up here are things I need to think of constantly. Something I absolutely love about this video is how encouraging you are, I feel like some videos on how to get started on twitch are very "why do you want to do this" "rethink your options" just things that are very discouraging to even try to stream at all, not everyone is looking to do this as a fulltime thing but rather something to have fun with once or twice a week.
I wanted to start streaming to complement my work on UA-cam - I was afraid I wouldn't find any good and honest no-bullshit tutorials. I clicked your video first and was not disappointed. Thanks a lot for making it, you had some great insights and tips and you didn't spend too much time on any one topic. I really appreciate the "I'm not a tech guru" disclosure either haha. Not everyone has to know everything and I like it when people admit there's stuff they are not familiar with! Makes them more authentic and trustworthy!
Your video is what I needed. You actually provided all the information I was looking for. I love your honesty and your chill way to explain how twitch works. This totally changed my prospective!
Girl!!!! This video is so spot ON!!!! I don’t even know what streaming is…just heard about it five minutes ago but your video makes me WANT TO BE A STREAMER…I always thought of myself as an educator but thought teachers didn’t make much money and def didn’t want to deal with teaching adults so teaching was out…I think of streaming as teaching someone your passion. I like it.
I’ve been streaming for over 3 years and this video helped me so much. It really helped me see my weaknesses and strengths. I’ve learned so much here, thanks for the amazing in depth video, appreciate it!
Just started to get into streaming again and I'm so grateful for this video. This is such an in depth, helpful and realistic way of educating people on how to start! I'm very good at quitting but hopefully this time I actually take it seriously this time around (I mean that mildly and in the best way)
As an up and coming small streamer, I appreciate all this advice especially about the lurker thing (lowkey my moderator has that problem) cause some viewers aren’t chatters and that’s fine like you said I’m there to entertain not to be entertained
I'm keeping it simple, playing bingo on twitch for abt 30 mins a day while talking abt life. I'm almost 40 and i figure "chill mom" is the vibe I'm going for. "Cos I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom" lawl My goal rn is to make a little pocket change while doing something I enjoy and connecting to other ppl.
I never used Twitch but omg you’re so informative and sweet, thank you so much! I’m planning to start streaming and if I ever make it, you’re the one to be praised istg
I'm watching this in January 2022 because I've decided that I really wanna try streaming this year and so much of the advice here is really helpful even today! Thanks for sharing and here's hoping I do get the courage to take that leap soon.
This was really thorough and after 6 months of streaming I could relate to a lot of it -- but also learned some important ways to think about streaming (and trolls).
You are a very personable person and I love your personality. You were really honest throughout this video and it was great to hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
This is so helpful, thank you 😭 I’ve been wanting to start streaming for a few years now but felt I was missing out on too much knowledge to actually start. This is really informative!
I really appreciate how easy and positive all of the information you gave was its really scary to think about all of the things all at once but you helped so much thank you!!
Been streaming since the pandemic, and though I did happen to know a lot of this, the burnout section was so cathartic and affirming. Also I just wanted to say I think you did a great job with this video and it is videos like these that gave me and many any chance at all to start up. Keep up the great work
This video was sent by the gods, I swear. I've just started streaming with the goal being to get more attention to my art and my upcoming comic. I had one stream which was really fun and even had a person engaging in chat. But gosh I am just super nervous to stream for some reason. I just get so anxious!
I’ve always wanted to be a streamer but I’ve always put myself down with it. This video has really given me the confidence to start, just ordered all the stuff for my setup and the stream begins tomorrow. Thanks a lot
Insanely great video in regards to production and information delivered. The fact that you hit on self awareness, letting your followers miss you, and setting daily goals POST stream is YUUUGGEEE.
6:14 It's a little different when it's hate comments(I'm a trans woman so there's transphobic comments but sometimes people just show up and straight up spam racial slurs) and I've learned to just ignore what they say and ban them but sometimes it's appropriate to comment on the issue but not necessarily give any attention to the troll. I have a few good viewers but it's extremely disappointing that almost 100% of my new viewers are showing up to give me hateful comments. I know this won't be forever and as time goes on they will be outshined by the loving and supporting fans. It's been a year transitioning so far and I've been 100% out as trans, and it's been a very unique experience for me itself, but also that I've been broadcasting my experience on twitch the whole year. I think I've learned how to deal with the hate comments(they just get banned) but it's still a bit exhausting because I'm so small I don't even have any mods. I have given mod to a few viewers but I don't expect them to always be there and mod I just have given them a bit of trust from consistent good behavior.
I think its sad and pathetic when people go out of there way to make sad comments about another person AKA Trolls. As a straight man that has run nightclubs for many years, and I never cared about someones preference. I also have worked with old and young gay men/women/etc. and have noticed a very common theme/advice that the older gave to the younger/"just out". They always said that your preference should never be your 1 or only impression/characteriustic that new people or the world meets. Meaning your "gayness/what have you" should not be the 1st thing people think of you. I hope that made sense, I probably butchered it, haha. If not clear, by all means say so, and I will write more to clarify. lets face it, their are plenty of maggots in the world, but NOT letting them get to you makes the difference of a happier life. Be well, Be real, Be YOU!!
I think I’m gonna just start from square one on twitch. And make a schedule for myself. After watching this video, it’s given me a new found motivation to really get serious about the few things that I actually want to do
I was very insecure about the idea of suddenly streaming so I'm glad I found this video :) thank you so much for this tutorial and your voice is very comforting :>
My 1st time looking into this subject and I am SO glad you were the 1st video I watched! I thought this would be so over my head (as I am 100% new and only like to play one game) Thank you SO much and love the glasses!!
You really don’t though!! Like I have technically difficulties but my community has just made it a meme at this point, because I laugh it off. Humans are imperfect and by embracing it, it is less of an issue.
Not only do I really appreciate this as someone that is setting up to start streaming for the first time, but I HAD to point out that I have the same water fountain (several of them) for my cats and all four are obsessed. Lmao!!! I have a history of creating successful social media platforms but haven't ever done anything like Twitch. As a disease I'm dealing with progresses I cannot go out and do the active hobbies I used to enjoy, and I already work from home and have a beautiful, aesthetic, cozy home office with a bad ass setup (and EVERYTHING I need to game/stream outside of a freaking capture card, ugh) so I turned to my brother (a seasoned Twitch streamer) to ask for advice. He's going to help me get my software setup and give me some pointers and help me create away scenes etc., but I am a RESEARCHER. So, to UA-cam I came, and I found you first! I love seeing a woman that doesn't seem to be SUPER young giving this advice. I'm 33, but I love being online and gaming and it's an accessible hobby I'm ready to jump into in hopes of building a community. Thanks for doing this! I'm going to be binge watching your content all night.
"I really hope I can edit this down to like 30 mins"... oh, I felt that 💖 But this is GREAT, so happy that you shared your experience and thoughts. Your advice is relatable and inspiring.
I just started streaming a week ago and hit affiliate so I wanted to learn more, this was so helpful and made me think about things I never thought about before. Thank you so much :)
I definitely needed this! I’ve been wanting to start streaming for a while now, but have been having issues with technology and then wondering what to even do. Thank you for this!
wow, thankyou! that was way more helpful than everything I've watched. It's refreshing to see and hear someone with a lot of emotional intelligence! i appreciate it very much :)
Ooh so I always struggled with engagement beyond just chatter. I can chatter all day. But my friend has a system whereby people would spend their stream points on a treat for her cat or a fuss or something. I can never think of a way of engaging people with my game beyond the usual ‘here are my thoughts, where do you think I should go next?’ If you have any insights on that it’d be appreciated. Of course I know there’s no replacement for just ‘sparkling chatter and stories and talking’ but I’d love to involve my viewers in the actual games more.
HeyShadyLady Back in the day I played a lot of skyrim. My group are reuniting to do more high energy group games, Among Us, keep Talking and nobody explodes etc. But I’m thinking of doing more of my old passion games like dragon age, skyrim, Stardew valley. The sorts of games I know i love and can talk about,
I might be late to the party but thank you so much for this video. I may be getting ahead of myself by watching this because I don't even have a gaming setup, but I really want to try out streaming! This is definitely a dream of mine that I want to get started on, and this video just motivated me a whole lot more. Thanks for everything :')
This was very engaging, and had loads of useful information for someone like me who is trying her hand at streaming. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
I want to get on twitch, and im kinda nervous about it. I've been wanting to start for a couple months now. This video really helped, now I know a bit more on what to and what not to do! Thank you so much!
Thank you so so much for this! AND THE TIMESTAMPS especially! Took a bunch of notes, gonna get over the overwhelm (1-3 days lol) and uhhh get back in the saddle! Loved this video and will come back to it when I configure OBS and all that stuff. Gonna check out your other videos too. Thank you thank you!!
Would definitely love a tutorial on making overlays! I am hoping to get into streaming soon, and my wife also streams, so it would be nice to be able to help her make some nice ones :)
Camp rock meme voice: *"She's really good!"* Seriously, thank you, so. much. This guide, and all your others, are incredible. I don't feel anywhere near as daunted starting now, and i'll probably rewatch this video 3-4 times, THANK YOU!
I’ve always wanted to be a content streamer. I’m so introverted lol😅, but I like relating to people when it comes to different topics. You gave all of us sooooo much great info! Thank you for this video😊! I’ll keep all of this in mind when I start my twitch channel in a few months😊.
This video came up in my recommended, and I saw your whole video because I thought you had a very nice voice lol. It's so calm and smooth and honestly if you read books, I would listen to your audiobooks too haha. Just subscribed!
I AM always telling new streamers! Your audience is NOT in charge of your content! Great opening line. I'm still watching the video but I had to comment already lol. Great job girl
Thanks for this video! I think I'm gonna finally commit to Tuesdays and Thursdays for my schedule since I travel for work a lot the other days. Meana says hi Toasty!
you are correct...i didnt know what twitch even was until mi saw your show...i was watching guitar related content when i saw how pretty i thought you are.and it made me hit your button to get a better look...and then i saw the title...and it intrigued me.heck,i thought you are so uniquely pretty in your choices of makeup,style,intelligence.niceness.and u do seem very nice and cool.but you are adorable.red and black are my favorite colors even...but thank you for the info.you did a great job i must say.very professional i think.you are good girl...lol.take care sweet girl and stay safe...
Why are you so underrated? Like, I like the way you talk, my attention was glued to this video( that's why I just followed you on twitch). I actually want to start streaming but I don't have the perfect location for it (our place is so loud) and I just started my sideline job so I could make money and afford the equipments, I also don't want to show my face (I have weird content ideas but I swear it'll be entertaining 😂), my english isn't perfect when I speak. But I'm persistent, and this video just encouraged me more so...
i have a smol community of 35 and i have atleast 4 viewers and this made me open my eyes on how many things i was doing right and what i can approve on. Thank you so much! im so blessed with such a nice community!
i don’t stream on twitch but this was the best video i’ve ever watched hands down. it really helped me understand some things with youtube. you go girl. i loved it! and the editing A++
It’s 2021 and I 100% appreciate you, I used to get down about wanting to be “famous” but I’ve been streaming for 5+ hours everyday just being myself and my average view + viewers goes up everyday and that’s all that matters to me! Ty for being so positive and giving helpful advice
Heyyy I just watched you on my TV. So glad I found this. Also listening to your first podcast episode. There is so much to learn here. I'm just getting into streaming. Thank you so much!! ❤

As a female streamer, I feel blessed to have a friend that offered to be my mod to look out for trolls in the chat.
I hope you make it!
How's it going ??
Kudos!
my friends dont have time so i take my phone created s new a account and see whats happening on my chat and delete something if its trolls and stuff
My first stream I had a spammer in the chat
As someone who is just barely getting into the idea of streaming, this was so helpful and motivating and really makes the whole venture sound like something achievable. Thanks so much for your insight.
totally agreed what u said here..i get it by watching just the beginning of the vid...this vid can motivate new streamers
Not me watching a 40 minute video and not even realizing.You just influenced me to join twitch and be a streamer.I feel confident because of you
Omg im so glad to hear that 🥺❗ thank you and good luck :D 💕💕

I think I’m gonna just start from square one on twitch. And make a schedule for myself. After watching this video, it’s given me a new found motivation to really get serious about the few things that I actually want to do
This did NOT feel like a forty-minute video.
Super informative, thanks a bunch! 😁
I was very insecure about the idea of suddenly streaming so I'm glad I found this video :) thank you so much for this tutorial and your voice is very comforting :>
My 1st time looking into this subject and I am SO glad you were the 1st video I watched! I thought this would be so over my head (as I am 100% new and only like to play one game) Thank you SO much and love the glasses!!
Thank you very much! 🥺❗
For some reason listening to you is extremely soothing and encouraging.
the more I watch this kind of videos the more anxious I get bc I feel like you have to be "perfect" to be a streamer or if you are begining streaming
You really don’t though!! Like I have technically difficulties but my community has just made it a meme at this point, because I laugh it off. Humans are imperfect and by embracing it, it is less of an issue.
Not only do I really appreciate this as someone that is setting up to start streaming for the first time, but I HAD to point out that I have the same water fountain (several of them) for my cats and all four are obsessed. Lmao!!! I have a history of creating successful social media platforms but haven't ever done anything like Twitch. As a disease I'm dealing with progresses I cannot go out and do the active hobbies I used to enjoy, and I already work from home and have a beautiful, aesthetic, cozy home office with a bad ass setup (and EVERYTHING I need to game/stream outside of a freaking capture card, ugh) so I turned to my brother (a seasoned Twitch streamer) to ask for advice. He's going to help me get my software setup and give me some pointers and help me create away scenes etc., but I am a RESEARCHER. So, to UA-cam I came, and I found you first! I love seeing a woman that doesn't seem to be SUPER young giving this advice. I'm 33, but I love being online and gaming and it's an accessible hobby I'm ready to jump into in hopes of building a community. Thanks for doing this! I'm going to be binge watching your content all night.
"I really hope I can edit this down to like 30 mins"... oh, I felt that 💖 But this is GREAT, so happy that you shared your experience and thoughts. Your advice is relatable and inspiring.
i needed this. starting a new journey with my music, thanks for the tips/advice.
Thank you sm!! This was so so helpful and honestly made me more confident in starting streaming :)
yayy im glad it helped out :D best of luck with your streams!!
Thank you👍 I had not even considered that my webcam would be covered by Twitch's overlays. There are so many things you have learn.
I just started streaming a week ago and hit affiliate so I wanted to learn more, this was so helpful and made me think about things I never thought about before. Thank you so much :)
You're welcome! Congrats on affiliate! That was fast! 💖💖
IN A WEEK??? Oh my gosh that’s so cool!! You must have really good content!!
I couldn't figure out why my videos weren't saving, now I know why. It was such a pain, thanks for the help :)
I definitely needed this! I’ve been wanting to start streaming for a while now, but have been having issues with technology and then wondering what to even do. Thank you for this!
You were very straight to the point and there was no sugarcoating! It kinda sounds harsh, but I liked it. Made me wanna listen more
This is a fantastic video. Thank you! I started streaming a week ago and im looking to understand my next steps. This video is incredibly helpful
watched hours of content on how to start creating content to online plataforms and this right here is the best one I've seen, thanks!
Watchin' it now! Thankie! Streamers unite! *holds a cat up in the air, wiggles it around*
hope you like it!! ^-^
wow, thankyou! that was way more helpful than everything I've watched. It's refreshing to see and hear someone with a lot of emotional intelligence! i appreciate it very much :)
I’ve been out of the game for a few years and I’m thinking of getting back into it then boom you upload this.
yayyy, i hope it helps you out! :o best of luck, lemme know if you have any questions you'd like to see a video on !
Ooh so I always struggled with engagement beyond just chatter. I can chatter all day. But my friend has a system whereby people would spend their stream points on a treat for her cat or a fuss or something.
I can never think of a way of engaging people with my game beyond the usual ‘here are my thoughts, where do you think I should go next?’
If you have any insights on that it’d be appreciated. Of course I know there’s no replacement for just ‘sparkling chatter and stories and talking’ but I’d love to involve my viewers in the actual games more.
@@Sanisgillon that's an excellent topic tbh!! is there a specific genre of games you tend to play?
HeyShadyLady Back in the day I played a lot of skyrim. My group are reuniting to do more high energy group games, Among Us, keep Talking and nobody explodes etc. But I’m thinking of doing more of my old passion games like dragon age, skyrim, Stardew valley. The sorts of games I know i love and can talk about,
This has got to be one of the most informative videos I have ever seen! Awesome video!
I might be late to the party but thank you so much for this video. I may be getting ahead of myself by watching this because I don't even have a gaming setup, but I really want to try out streaming! This is definitely a dream of mine that I want to get started on, and this video just motivated me a whole lot more. Thanks for everything :')
I've been contemplating starting a twitch channel for over a year, this has been really helpful in just starting and not overthinking things!
This was very engaging, and had loads of useful information for someone like me who is trying her hand at streaming. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
I want to get on twitch, and im kinda nervous about it. I've been wanting to start for a couple months now. This video really helped, now I know a bit more on what to and what not to do! Thank you so much!
I cannot even with this thumbnail. It has so much character OH MY GAWD YES
I can't believe I finished watching the whole video ! It helps me to understand more about streaming.
Thank you so so much for this! AND THE TIMESTAMPS especially! Took a bunch of notes, gonna get over the overwhelm (1-3 days lol) and uhhh get back in the saddle! Loved this video and will come back to it when I configure OBS and all that stuff. Gonna check out your other videos too. Thank you thank you!!
Would definitely love a tutorial on making overlays! I am hoping to get into streaming soon, and my wife also streams, so it would be nice to be able to help her make some nice ones :)
Camp rock meme voice: *"She's really good!"*
Seriously, thank you, so. much. This guide, and all your others, are incredible. I don't feel anywhere near as daunted starting now, and i'll probably rewatch this video 3-4 times, THANK YOU!
I have found the holy grail of streaming tutorials/advice. You seem super educated! Thank you :D
streaming is very intimidating to me and i constantly find myself doubting my own talent. thank you for the advice + tips!
wow.. just wow. Im so happy i discovered your channel before ive started streaming
I’ve always wanted to be a content streamer. I’m so introverted lol😅, but I like relating to people when it comes to different topics. You gave all of us sooooo much great info! Thank you for this video😊! I’ll keep all of this in mind when I start my twitch channel in a few months😊.
Just made a twitch today and this was so unexpectedly helpful in more ways than I could have hoped, tysm for taking the time to create this! 🥰❤️🙏🏻
I have put this off way too long and now I wanna take it on. Seen this vid and im glad I watched. Super good rundown for getting started! Thank you!
This video came up in my recommended, and I saw your whole video because I thought you had a very nice voice lol. It's so calm and smooth and honestly if you read books, I would listen to your audiobooks too haha. Just subscribed!
aw thank you so much!!
Thank you so much, you were on my YT recommended and I'm so glad I clicked in. Your tips are super helpful and this is really thorough!
Thanks a lot for this video!! Would love to see a video on how you design your overlays and also on how to integrate them to OBS!
you're welcome!! and that's a great idea, i'd love to do some graphic tutorials!
I AM always telling new streamers! Your audience is NOT in charge of your content! Great opening line. I'm still watching the video but I had to comment already lol. Great job girl
Thanks for this video! I think I'm gonna finally commit to Tuesdays and Thursdays for my schedule since I travel for work a lot the other days.
Meana says hi Toasty!
Hello Meana!!!
I am just toooo new. I wanna maybe- try to stream this helped me so much I will never forget you! :D
This was incredibly helpful!! I’m about to start streaming and felt so overwhelmed. Your video was full of helpful tips! Thank you!
Youre welcome! 🧡
you are correct...i didnt know what twitch even was until mi saw your show...i was watching guitar related content when i saw how pretty i thought you are.and it made me hit your button to get a better look...and then i saw the title...and it intrigued me.heck,i thought you are so uniquely pretty in your choices of makeup,style,intelligence.niceness.and u do seem very nice and cool.but you are adorable.red and black are my favorite colors even...but thank you for the info.you did a great job i must say.very professional i think.you are good girl...lol.take care sweet girl and stay safe...
Damn this was juicy & healthy! Thx for this
Why are you so underrated? Like, I like the way you talk, my attention was glued to this video( that's why I just followed you on twitch). I actually want to start streaming but I don't have the perfect location for it (our place is so loud) and I just started my sideline job so I could make money and afford the equipments, I also don't want to show my face (I have weird content ideas but I swear it'll be entertaining 😂), my english isn't perfect when I speak. But I'm persistent, and this video just encouraged me more so...
I'm rewatching this for 3rd time. I really appreciate all the information you provide! Thank you ♥
i have a smol community of 35 and i have atleast 4 viewers and this made me open my eyes on how many things i was doing right and what i can approve on. Thank you so much! im so blessed with such a nice community!
I'm a small (tiny, very tiny) artist trying to create an audience for my upcoming webcomic, so this was really helpful for me, thank you so much!
Where can I see your work? ☺
@@meganjenkins7093 hi!! All my links are on my channel, thanks for your interest
i don’t stream on twitch but this was the best video i’ve ever watched hands down. it really helped me understand some things with youtube. you go girl. i loved it! and the editing A++
and your hair❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥺💖
Ok so I was freaking out a little as i thought your second tank was falling over.. it's a mirror lol
😂😂😂 oh no lmaoo
It’s 2021 and I 100% appreciate you, I used to get down about wanting to be “famous” but I’ve been streaming for 5+ hours everyday just being myself and my average view + viewers goes up everyday and that’s all that matters to me!
Ty for being so positive and giving helpful advice
Heyyy I just watched you on my TV. So glad I found this. Also listening to your first podcast episode. There is so much to learn here. I'm just getting into streaming. Thank you so much!! ❤
im so glad you like it! thank you! lemme know if you've got any specific questions, i'd be glad to make a video :)
