HemAndWatch

Hem and Who?

• Hello, I am Hem, and you watch, so welcome to Hem and Watch!
• I live in Australia, I speak English, Japanese and French.
• I play lots of games, I love analysis and critique of games and all arts.
• Not a fan of communities, social media or social conventions.
• I play for fun and I stream casually, to share what I do and think. If we match, that's cool! :)

Hem and What?

• I am a variety streamer, so basically Hem & Watch is just me playing games and talking games with you. Not a content creator, not an entertainer, just a simple gamer guy!
• Feel free to talk, I always read and answer. If you prefer to watch and lurk, no worries, all good. No social pressure!
• WARNING: Hem & Watch may contain games rated not suitable for minors (check here), or content (words, ideologies or humour) for adults.

Hem and When?

Click here to see my Twitch schedule, or click here to know my online time. Find me, I am in red, down under. Search for the closest city to your location. See if we match? Basically, I try to stream:

• most week days, from 9am to 3pm AEST
• some evenings, from 7pm to 11pm AEST

See the time converter here. Schedule may change during school holidays (evening only, etc).

Hem and How?

On Hem & Watch, there are no real written rules - just basic decency and common sense.

If you really want some guidelines:

• no toxicity or aggressivity
• no spoiler or backseating
• no prospecting or promoting
• RESPECT!

Hem and Where?

My routine is a cup of coffee and 5 easy steps:

1. Check the video game news on Steam

2. Test some demos

3. One Game A Day to keep the backlog away (short playtest)

4. Play the current main game

5. Raid someone new each time (see the RAIDS section below)

Hem and Which?

I play MANY games, all on my Steam account. To know WHICH game I will play next check this short list.

I don't play games when they come out (too expensive) or very famous games (Call of Duty, Fortnite, Mmorpgs etc), for personal reasons - just not my thing! I played thousands of other games and I intend to play much more.

My goal is to try and review every game I own. For posterity and because I hope my analytical and aesthetical judgment mattered - I actually believe I am not bad at it! I have more than 600 reviews so if you are interested in reading them, check out my Steam page.

Hem and Why?

I don't have Stream Goals like other content creators. However I am trying to:

• Play and review all my games
• Find some digital friends to talk about games
• Wake up in the morning and believe what I do is meaningful

Hem and Wares?

I built my PC entirely and by myself. Nothing fancy, every part is low or medium end.

• AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
• Radeon RX 7800 XT
• Corsair 64GB Ram
• Crucial P3 Plus 2TB

Hem and WWW?

I hate social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc). I don't really use them, I don't do self promotion. I just use vods or clips for memories. I like it simple and genuine :)

I also use communication tools to talk to people so feel free to join and chat:

• Discord
• Steam
• YouTube
• Twitter / X
• Steam Groups
• Steam Curator

Hem and YOU!

I like discovering new streamers each time. Not famous gamers with many viewers, but genuine and casual people with few viewers - anonymous people like me!

I am not very social so I guess this is my own way of getting some social daily dose.

No pressure to stay and raid with me, no need to chat or follow: you can just stay or go. Most of the time I raid by myself.

If you are interested to know who I raided so far, click here for the complete list of streamers I raided in the past, in no specific order. It's a bit like a Pokedex with Pokemons: gotta raid 'em all!...

Hem and Whom?

When I get lots of subscribers I won't be able to thank everyone. But until then? I shall carve their names in the pixels (if I forgot your name, let me know).

Thanks a lot to all my subscribers, past and present:

• BakerStaunch
• AussieDanDan
• the__tramp
• SteffaNinang
• KrusherDom
• facechasebass

Hem and Whence?

I have been an affiliate since 2024, February 24th.

You will see ads from time to time during my stream - sorry about that! Never feel pressured in giving a sub or anything. Stay, watch, chat, have fun.

Hem and Whatever?

• Which game are you going to play after this one?
  Easy, just check this list.

• You have an accent, where are you from?
  France, and lived in Japan and Australia. I don't really belong anywhere.

• What is that "40" emoji in the corner?
  I recently turned 40. I don't care about birthday, but I started streaming at 40, so I just left it there as a souvenir.

• Why don't you play game X? Why don't you like game Y?
  Tastes? I don't really like main stream games (ie: played by millions), but I gladly play any AAA game if it is good.

• Why don't you add tool X or emoji Y to your stream? you would get more viewers!
  I don't like promotional stuff, I only do stuff my heart feels like.

• Did you do your emojis/logo? do you need emojis/logo? I am an artist!
  I did everything myself (with AI help). It does not look pro, but I don't need anything thank you!

• Do you swear? Can I swear?
  I used to swear, I still do sometimes, but it is rare (also I am a dad). I try not to on stream. I just find it weird that everybody says fuck shit cunt etc in every sentence. You can swear in chat, but try to use more words?

• Can I backseat you? can I tell you the end?
  No, please! Usually no help, no spoiler, unless asked.

• Are you a Variety Streamer? is there one game you always play?
  I guess technically I am a variety streamer, but not by everybody's definition. The majority of games I play are already out for a couple of years or not trending. I used to play regularly CS, Valorant, Tarkov, but nothing at the moment.

Hem and Win?

Any coin is a coin, and I love coffee. Thank you!
