I'm a 52 year-old schizophrenic with ADHD as well (both are self-diagnosed, much cheaper that way) who has been a gamer since childhood, and was often kicked out of arcades/bowling alleys/laundromats/etc. for loitering. I don't follow current events or pop culture in general, so sorry if I sound ignorant/offensive/creepy. Basically, I'm an "outsider" streamer, the kind you don't see every day.
Therapy/an outlet. I don't really talk to anyone IRL. And I get burnt out on the fact that the only people I DO talk to are the ones in my head. But at the same time "going out and meeting people" is lost on me, so streaming provides a balance.

And also, my grandma, in the assisted living apartment she lived in, always left her front door open ie. anyone who wanted to visit her was welcome to. She was the only one out of the whole complex that did this. And she did this despite the fact that, as far as I can recall, noone ever came to visit her. I thought I'd do the same thing here. Even though most won't even give me the time of day, I'll stream anyway.
My default starting time is 1-2am, US central time, from Sunday to Wednesday. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are part of my workweek. So, these days streaming is a no-go.
Nowadays it's Gems of War, as well as Pinball (FX3/Arcade/Zaccaria). These days, my computer is very unstable (just ALT+TABbing can crash my PC) so, streaming has to be kept to a minimum.
I'm very new to the tip/donation/Affiliate thing. One of my viewers suggested I do this, so I figured "Why not?" While I don't expect to be able to quit my overnight job at Wal-Mart or anything (one can dream though!), every little bit helps, so the old saying goes.
These days, I no longer play vinyl records. Instead, I play albums downloaded from YouTube. I always make sure they're not going to get me copyright claimed first though (I like my videos ad-free). Like with my vinyl though, the music is going to run the gamut, from quiet new age music to hardcore metal, so one should expect the unexpected (as contradictory as that might sound lol).
