rothsothy

a veteran caster on various websites on and off for over a decade, live-streamed video games, art, music, sometimes video editing and even some mukbang (social eating), just for fun and making use of technologies available ⋮ big fan of Nintendo and Nokia, horror (films and games) and animation, electronic music (mostly Trance and synthwave), 90s-00s era Asian pop (K-pop, J-pop, Thai pop, etc.)

Back in 2008, I live-streamed Wii games such as LostWinds (WiiWare title when it launched in North America), Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Mario RPG (Virtual Console release), SIREN: Blood Curse (PS3/PSN), Resident Evil 4: Wii edition, and was one of the world's first to play and stream Animal Crossing: City Folk (November 12, 2008) a few days before it launched because a major retailer broke the release date locally. There's a list of games and things I've live-streamed in the past which I'll make a separate panel for once Kick allows hyperlinks. Some content have been lost through time, closure of some of those older sites, but I'll try to backtrack and log as many as I can.
Since then I continued to broadcast video games and art on lots of streaming sites from time to time every year while also putting out content (mostly gameplay footage) on YouTube (since 2006). I did it as hobby and as a means to document the gameplay footage for myself. I've made quite a few online friends along the way, some of which I've known for a very long time from various communities.

I also do art, both traditional and digital (and stream them sometimes). Without a proper webcam, it can be difficult so I use an old Nokia phone or whatever I have to record it. (Update October 2020: I now have a proper webcam thanks to a local friend!)
Fun fact: I've also written music for an indie game called Xeodrifter.

If you have any questions about me or the early haydays of live-streaming before it became popular, feel free to ask!
