Do You Still Feel Any Pressure When You Play on Stream?

Absolutely, I do! Streaming is thrilling yet intimidating. When I’m live, I always have this running dialogue in my head: “Don’t say the wrong thing.” One slip-up can spiral quickly, especially when viewers are watching your every move. The pressure is real.

Everyone knew me then for just having the most amount of computer issues. It seemed like every time I went live, my setup would betray me. From my sim breaking mid-game to running out of battery on my streaming equipment, it felt like a never-ending cycle of chaos. These technical difficulties added an extra layer of pressure when I played on stream because I wasn’t just focused on the game; I was constantly worried about what could go wrong.

The reality is, I’ve learned to manage that pressure over time. While I still feel it, I’ve developed strategies to cope. Interacting with my audience helps. Knowing that they’re there for the fun, not just to critique, eases the tension. Sharing my tech mishaps has even turned into a running joke, which lightens the mood.

Streaming is all about being authentic and relatable. Viewers appreciate when we’re real, and that’s what keeps them coming back. So yes, the pressure is still there, but it’s part of what makes the experience exhilarating. It’s a balance of entertaining my audience while keeping my cool, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

If you’re into streaming or considering starting, remember: pressure is just part of the game. Embrace it, learn from it, and most importantly, have fun!
