Amiga live streamers - index?

[Graham Humphrey]

Just wondering that for those who have an interest in that sort of thing (and I appreciate not everyone does), it might be convenient to have a reference of people who live stream Amiga-related activity, whether that's on Twitch, YouTube or elsewhere. There seems to be more Amiga streamers than there used to be even a year or so ago which is great, but it can be difficult to gain traction or any sort of serious visibility.


I do stream myself these days so this is partly self-promotion but if anyone contributes (whether that's themselves or others they know of) I am very happy to update this post with hopefully as complete and up-to-date index of streamers as possible. That way you can follow/sub (depending on platform) to people at your leisure

Personally I think this is a great idea. I rely on EAB for updates on those doing streams or chance finds on YouTube.

We need more content like this and it is fantastic for the Amiga community.

However, since views generate income would there be any case for some funds being directed to support EAB eg if there was a referral link so the traffic from EAB was appropriately accounted for?

[Daedalus]

A couple that I follow:

AmigaBill - https://www.twitch.tv/amigabill
Streams most Sundays at 19:00 GMT. Lots of Amiga news, chats, gameplay previews and generally excellent stuff

ThatGirlJoey - https://www.twitch.tv/thatgirljoey
Streams Amiga stuff on Mondays at 19:00 GMT and C64 stuff on Tuesdays at 19:00 GMT

No different to people whoring their youtube channels out.

In the unlikely event streamers see loads of links coming from here and want to do the decent thing (if they even make that much money from amiga streams - guess it depends if Graham has his cosplay outfit on and his cleavage showing ) then they can feel free to donate or not.

Thanks - I also figured that for people who don't use social media channels, they may miss out on a lot of stuff they may be interested in as most of it goes on there.


I think Ian covered the second part - also it's fair to say I don't make lots of money from this, it is a hobby and what I do get paid has gone straight into the kitty of my user group Which is not to say I cannot support EAB too of course!

Thank you - added to the list! I have got more that I will add later, but obviously any suggestions welcome regardless.

That sort of stuff I don't share... on Twitch at least

Should we start another thread for Amiga-related OnlyFans accounts?

[RetroPassionUK]

Great idea!

And already follow what you mentioned :-)

We stream every Monday 20:30 which is Amiga Monday!

https://www.twitch.tv/retropassionuk

This is not for us to gain subscribers but simply enjoy playing Amiga games as we only see the hardware and to be able to sit down and enjoy the games is what we get out of it.

Any subscriptions we get would be but back into other streamers which we actively do :-)

And don't forget:

https://www.twitch.tv/amigaformortals

[Aardvark]

https://www.twitch.tv/betajaen

Streams around 18:00-20:00 GMT Mon-Fri. Plays any adventure game that works on his vampirized A1200, even Mac games via Shapeshifter VM.

https://www.twitch.tv/hayesmaker64

Mostly streams C64, but occasionally fires up his A1200.

https://www.twitch.tv/kalastelija1

Fin/Eng language Amiga streamer. Sporadic schedule.

Oy, I did not need that image in my head. I don't know what Graham looks like (guess I'll find out during the next livestream) but anything to do with cosplay and chest hair is just wrong.

[Graham Humphrey]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions - I have now added these, some of which I was going to include anyway


I've just updated the list to show Amigos Retro Gaming, Pintz & Amiga, AmigaLive, Hitch, The Retro Hour, Namcos and those mentioned in this thread. I have a few more to put in later too.

That's a new one to me, thanks! Followed (and lurking as I type)

[walkero]

I hope you don't mind me to add here my stream at
https://twitch.tv/walkerogr

I stream every Friday at 7:30 CET / 6:30 UTC only Amiga content

However, since views generate income would there be any case for some funds being directed to support EAB eg if there was a referral link so the traffic from EAB was appropriately accounted for?

I absolutely agree with that comment and I wanted to mention that I keep a support page at https://ko-fi.com/walkero, for anyone who would like to buy me coffee and keep me awake, for the applications I develop and the content I create.

But the most important is that at the end of every month 50% of the donations are donated back to the community, to developers, projects and people who support our community. You can find detailed posts of the donations on my ko-fi page. And this month, a part of January generous donations will definitely will go to EAB.

Apologies - I somehow forgot to include you even though you were on my list! Rectified now


More added - thanks for all the suggestions so far. Also some new channels for myself to check out too so that's always a bonus.

[lesta_smsc]

Just a quick message to apologise if my earlier donation message stirred anyone the wrong way. I appreciate there isn't much revenue from these and quite rightly it keeps the scene active.

Once again, fantastic idea as there are loads of streams I wasn't aware of!

[Graham Humphrey]

No, not at all - it was not an unreasonable question and certainly not taken the wrong way by myself, at least


Actually I did rush my first response since I was on my lunch break at the time, but I feel it might be useful to add that - certainly on Twitch - we don't get any revenue just from views. Non-affiliated streamers get no money directly from Twitch at all, but those of us who are affiliates really rely on subscriptions and bits for income, and even then Twitch take 50% of subs for themselves. Although there is ad revenue, it is pretty abysmal (for instance, my channel has been monetised for almost a year and the total I have made from ads is under $7! I certainly don't command a huge audience by any means, though).


And referral links wouldn't be practical, I think - not that the amount made would come to anything meaningful


Hope you enjoy checking out some new streams!

[whiteb]

Ms Mad Lemon is more of a video uploader than streamer, but Cammy sometime streams.

[acidbottle]

Great list, thanks for compiling this.

None from me, I just want to be transparent, its the only time I get to play games lol

[Mixel]

This is a great idea and thanks for including me on the list.

[Graham Humphrey]

You are very welcome! And I am glad quite a few people seem to find this useful. There are certainly a few of us out there.


If you have a Twitch account don't forget to give these folks a follow


Added two more to the list (any additions will be at the bottom so should be easy to find).


More suggestions welcome - please provide a link and possibly a brief description if possible Cheers!
