Live Streams on Twitch: Calm Drives, Civ Builders, & Hunting
New: Live Streams on Twitch (and YouTube)
I’ve been head-down on work, projects, edits, and the usual life stuff. The cure I keep coming back to is simple: hop in the driver’s seat, pick a line, and share a quiet hour with good folks who like maps, miles, and learning by doing. So, live streams it is!
So, I’m adding live streaming to the mix.
It’s a low-friction way to hang out between big trail days and longer “Adventure” videos.
No rage, no gimmicks. Just calm runs, honest mistakes, and the small satisfactions that make this whole thing worth it.
Why Live Streams (and why now)?
Because the camera roll fills up faster than the edit queue.
Streaming lets me unwind after work, keep the storytelling muscle warm, and bring you along even on the nights when the “trail” is a delivery route through Southern California in American Truck Simulator.
It’s also a place for questions, route geekery, and those nerdy detours about tires, logging roads, and how to not wad up your rig or your save file.
What I’m streaming
- Driving sims: American Truck Simulator (ATS), Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2)
- Mud & mayhem: Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
- Slow-build comfort games: Banished, Ostriv (and other city/civ builders)
- Hunting season stuff: theHunter: Call of the Wild, Way of the Hunter, maybe even some Call of the Wild: The Angler
The vibe is relaxed.
We’ll talk lines, maps, and choices. If I bungle a trailer back-in or pick a bad approach angle, we’ll have a laugh and try again!
Adventure videos aren’t going anywhere
Field trips, gear tinkering, and longer “Adventure” videos will still show up here.
Streaming just fills the space between.
Think garage nights, not just big trail weekends.
Where to watch the Live Streams
- I’ll simulcast to Twitch and YouTube when possible.
- No fixed schedule yet; for now it’ll be evenings and the occasional weekend session (Eastern Time).
- Turn on notifications so you get the “we’re rolling” ping.
How you can help (free and fast)
- Follow/Subscribe on Twitch and YouTube.
- Say hi in chat. Lurkers welcome; questions even more so.
- Share a stream with one friend who digs maps, trucks, or chill builder games.
- Drop route ideas and mod suggestions in the comments. I’ll queue them up.
What to expect in chat
Kindness, curiosity, and problem-solving.
The point isn’t to be perfect; it’s to get a little better at reading terrain (digital or otherwise), make a few friends, and carry that calm to the next trail day.
See you out there, sometimes on gravel, sometimes on a virtual interstate, always trying to choose the better line.
