2024 Recap

Let's start by saying I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and has the best New Year ever

This year has been very special to me, because a lot has happened.

January

In January, I reached YouTube partner (literally on the 1st) and I felt over the moon to reach this milestone. My plan for 2025 will be to make a video on my earnings and hopefully reach 10,000 subscribers.

February

For this month, I managed to reach Twitch Affiliate, which was another incredible milestone for my content creation journey. I'm hoping to reach Twitch Partner in 2025, but I'm also aware that I'm very far away from this goal as my average concurrent views is around 3. Another video will be released on my earnings for my Twitch channel, which I hope will drive more follows.

April

I told my wife about my double-vision. It's something I've had for a while, but it didn't happen very often, and I thought it was normal. She told me it isn't, that's when my eye journey started.

May

I did a little test charity event in memory of my brother, which was a livestream to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. We managed to raise £250, which I was really happy with.

June

My wife and I went to Twitchcon in Rotterdam. It was the first time I ever traveled abroad (and I'm 33). It was so much fun, and I learned so much from the event. I'm hoping we can go again next year, but I will be hosting a panel.

September

I did another fundraiser in memory of my brother for the British Heart Foundation. We raised another £150, which was really good!

October

Max Fosh performed a world tour and happened to be in Exeter. My wife and I went to see him and he was incredibly funny. I'd love to make a video on my experience and what he actually did to the audience.

Matt Mullenweg had a meltdown over WordPress Engine and made some questionable decisions on the WordPress platform. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and I decided to move my website away from there. I chose Ghost as I have used them in the past, and the company is lovely.

November

We went to a Rock Orchestra in Exeter, and it was another incredible experience. They tour the world, and if you're into rock music, I would 100% recommend you go check them out!

December

I purchased myself a new M4 MacBook Pro to help with my video editing. It was an expensive decision, but definitely worth it. I can now edit long livestreams with far less issues.
