Figured this would be a funny way to celebrate getting 1000 reaction score. I'm at work at the moment, so my responses may be slow. I'll be quicker to answer once I get home.

What's the story behind your avatar?

I wanted something that met a few criteria
-Was simultaneously cute and mischievous looking.
-Was simple to draw yet stood out in a sea of icons and thumbnails
My inspiration was Eggman's icon and Edwards mischievous grin. So I knew it would be a simple face with a big smile.

The rubber hose era cartoon eyes are easy to draw but are uncommon in the sea of dot eyes and anime waifus.

Somewhere along the way I thought of the wolf motif. That finally tied it all together! The ears and messy hair were cute and comforting while the big smile with sharp teeth add a touch of edge, silliness, mischief. As if to say "I don't bite unless you like it!"

That line down the side of my face is meant to be an electronic trace, as computers are a big part of my identity here.

What have you been up to?

Work mostly. I've also been creating emojis for use in reviews and forum posting. See if you can tell what each is trying to express.

I Googled "fruiteger metro green wallpaper". It's a placeholder until I design a better one.

Favorite show, movie, cartoon, game, anime?

Game: Elden Ring. Never has a game struck a perfect combination of challenge, satisfying combat physics, build variety, and sense of wonder.
Cartoon: Regular Show. The chemistry between characters made me really care about them and I always loved seeing how they turned mundane shit into a fight for their life or some shit.
Anime: A bit of a tie between Neon Genesis Evangelion, Panty and Stocking, and Makoka Magica, though I'm currently watching Full Metal Alchemist which might just be the tie breaker.
Movie/Show: Haven't really sat down and watched one in a while that doesn't fall in an aforementioned category, and what I did watch when I had cable is rather blurry in my memory. I'll need to get back to you on this one.

What’re your top three weapons in Elden Ring?

 

[Antilocal123]

Wagwan Dingaling, would you rather have a permanent Athlete’s foot or constant yeast infection?

 

[Mr. Daddy]

I know you're particularly fond of Elden Ring, but do you have any other FromSoft titles you particularly like?​

Are you actually helpful?

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

Wow my stupid ass only just realized that this thread is still getting questions. Did I not get the notification until now or did I just forget to come back here?

What’re your top three weapons in Elden Ring?

-Gargoyles Greatsword: Great scaling with physical and elemental infusions, and has the high compatibility with ashes that comes with being a great sword.
-Great Stars: Stupidly high damage to both stance and health, surprisingly fast after great hammers got buffed, and the wide swings when one handed make it great for dealing with multiple opponents. And it has bleed and a bit of health regen as if the rest wasn't enough.
-Uchigatana: Low requirements, fast, and useful in most builds either as a primary weapon or counter pick. Wanna be a fucking Samurai Preacher or some shit? The Uchigatana will happily accommodate.

Wagwan Dingaling, would you rather have a permanent Athlete’s foot or constant yeast infection?

Probably athletes foot. Seems easier to treat, even if only partially, and less painful than yeast in ma dick.

I know you're particularly fond of Elden Ring, but do you have any other FromSoft titles you particularly like?​

Armored Core 6, Armored Core 3, and Dark Souls 3, though I currently suck ass at the latter.

Are you actually helpful?

I feel very awkward bragging outside of a comedic bit, but I'd say I'm helpful more often than not. In my time here, I've
-Helped someone escape a shitty marriage.
-Gave emotional support and validation to multiple people.
-Wrote an easy to follow guide on how to mod LAN into many Steam games using Goldberg Steam Emulator.
-Formed a mutually helpful streaming partnership with Cheela, giving each other both emotional and technical support along with merging our fan bases.
-My DIY clusterfucks of streams do...something for people. I still can't quite figure out what that is, but I kind of ended up with a cult following out of what was originally a side project.
-Probably some other technical advice that I forgot I even gave.
-Appearantly my article on DMC 3 got Elwiwi into the series.
-Helped Cheela not suck ass at Elden Ring and now she's hooked.

I was half expecting a meme answer, but I'm glad I got this one. It's beautiful and quite inspiring! Especially on how you and Cheela became streaming partners and friends!

Can you do the Iyo dance for us again?

But more seriously, any advice you might give to someone who wants to get more into VTubing as a hobby?

Attend my next stream and I just might ;3

But more seriously, any advice you might give to someone who wants to get more into VTubing as a hobby?

-Make sure you're doing it for fun more so than validation or money, otherwise you'll drive yourself mad.
-Take baby steps. Dip your toes with a cheap but okay sounding mic, OBS, a decent computer, and a game. You don't need an avatar right away. This is the guide I used to improve my mic quality.

-Find a small community online you resonate with and get involved with it. It'll help you build a small but loyal following of people who think of you as one of their own, giving you an active chat to talk to and a system of emotional and technical support off camera. I wouldn't have gotten this far without my loyal fans and friends on RGT.
-Utilize eBay. They often side with the buyer in disputes, and you'll usually avoid problems to begin with as long as you buy from sellers with a 98% or higher rating who accept returns. This is a great way to get equipment for cheap. Example: a brand new Razer Ripsaw HD external capture card costs $130 on Amazon. I got it barely used on eBay for $50, all cables included.

Your most disliked game dev/publisher?

Probably Ubisoft. Their games feel cookie cutter and their business practices are blantantly greedy. I don't even have energy to hate them anymore. My eyes just glaze over at the mention of these twats.

Dishonorable mentions:

Gameloft. They could have filled a niche making console like experiences for mobile, and almost made Asphalt a worthy successor to Burnout, but they just HAD to micro transaction the fuck out of everything.

Any games that made you rage quit only to pick up again and finished it because you are bored to your wits.
