About Me

Hello!

Hello, and welcome in, my name is JayDae, but many people just call me Jay. I am fairly new to streaming, but I've been playing games for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite games have been Team Fortress 2, Kingdom Hearts 2, Shipwrecked64, and Hollow Knight. I tend to gravitate more towards games that have a strong atmosphere, whether it be silly, dark, or mysterious.

On stream, I play a variety of games, mostly single-player experiences with the occasional multiplayer game mixed in. I like taking my time with games, that allow it, and would rather get invested and craft a narrative with said game. Streaming is a way for me to broaden my game library, and allow me to extend my reach in games I might not normally play.

I tend to be on the quieter side when streaming, but I aim to make a welcoming and cozy vibe. Think of it like walking into a tavern in D&D; that's the vibe I wish to instill. The idea is for Echara, which is the character that represents me on stream, to use magical trinkets to project the games being played onto a small corner of the tavern that they call home. They will also have a simple bot in chat, which is still a work in progress.


Fun Facts!

  • While playing games, I can make noises when startled and surprised by something, especially in multiplayer games. We have come to dub it the "JaySquawk."
  • Some streams will be solo, while others will be with friends. When I play with others, I give them caricatures on stream, so it's always clear who's speaking.
  • I’ve always been fascinated by technology, especially mechanical robotics. It's one of those interests that have stuck with me throughout the years, and is one I don't think will ever fade.
  • I’m a big fan of the steampunk aesthetic, and Echara was originally inspired by it.
  • I used to play several FPS games competitively for college, but I haven’t played at that level in years.
  • I’m almost always drinking coffee or tea when I’m at my computer.
