I'm Xan. Twitter, business card, yadda yadda.
My credentials shouldn't matter to you, but if they for some incomprehensible reason do: Yes, I had a 9 year win streak, and yes, I do this professionally. If my methods seem baffling to you, they should.
(But ask me about them anyway. Just be prepared for an infodump.)
Yes, I am streaming at 640x480 and at a low quality. This is intentional.
Consider it an aesthetic thing if that makes more sense to you.
Let me know in chat.
I'm usually streaming either 3d modeling (blender) of props or character models, or pixel art (aseprite).
I prefer blender for its terrifying, unapproachable UI, and appreciate aseprite for its being practically designed to run at an unnecessarily small resolution.
I write and program on stream very occasionally, and in that event you'll be looking at a hateful amalgamation of terminal.app, tmux, and vim.
I use a MacBook Air, which I prefer for its small, wrist-breaking size and habitual kindness to my spinal injuries.
/r/pcmasterrace regulars will be taken behind the arena and shot. Brand loyalty is a dystopian cliche, and I'll have no part in it-- I prefer my dystopias comfortably surreal.
Be decent, or you, too, will be taken behind the arena and shot. I don't acknowledge challenges from casuals.
