Attention, Nateizens!

We have some exciting announcements and changes to share with you.
Please take a moment to read through the following updates:

1. Streaming Timetable Change:
My streaming timetable has been adjusted.
Join the stream every Friday, Saturday, and "MOST" Sundays from around 7:30 PM till around 10:30 PM (ish) +8GMT.
A Schedule is posted in your time on my Twitch page here: https://www.twitch.tv/natenstinegames/schedule
* Do note this is a "best effort", and we may be later or earlier than the schedule. There should always be something though even if it is a 30min IRL chat! (That's right. I will Facetime you all using Twitch!)

2. Natenstine.com Website Launch:
I am thrilled to announce that the official Natenstine website is now live!
Explore the digital realm, where you'll find blogs, updates (Like this one), and a centralized hub connecting you to all of my channels and social platforms. Dive in and discover a treasure trove of content.

3. Introducing "The Grim Library":
I am proud to present my new side project, "The Grim Library".
Visit https://www.TheGrimLibrary.com to indulge in dark and mysterious tales that will send shivers down your spine.
Unveil the secrets within and lose yourself in a realm of chilling stories.

4. Twitch Layout and Panels Revamp:
The Twitch channel has undergone a revamp!
Experience a fresh new layout and updated panels to enhance your viewing experience.

5. Discord Channels and Notification System:
I am revamping our Discord server channels and notification system to serve the community better.
Make sure to unmute the server to stay updated with the latest announcements, discussions, and exciting events.

6. Giveaway Alert:
Get ready for an upcoming giveaway!
We'll be giving away a copy of Pokemon Violet!
Stay tuned for more details on how to participate and have a chance to win this exciting prize.

7. Kick Channel as a backup
I am keeping the Kick channel open and recommend people follow it in case of a swap.
It is not new news that Twitch is a bit of a rollercoaster these days. And whilst we are still primarily using the platform, it could change in the future.
Most who have followed my ventures are aware we have tried many services out over the 5+ years of streaming from Mixer, Facebook, YouTube, and now recently, Kick. Twitch, with all its issues, still is the most functional for us (at this point in time). I am keen to see Kick's improvements as it is a very viable option once a couple of tweaks are made. Should we get banned or punished on Twitch at any time, or something feature-wise becomes unusable and forces us from the platform, Kick will "potentially" be our next port of call (YouTube is very close behind)

7. An Apology:
I apologize for the inconsistencies in the streaming schedule you all have experienced recently.
I also extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have stuck around through it all.
For those who do not know, I have recently gone through a few things in quick succession. Finalising my Bachelor's last Major Project, a job change from a place I have spent almost the last ten years at, currently going through a business startup as well as saying goodbyes to some family members.
Needless to say, things have been hectic and still are as I adapt to the changes that have occurred. But, it is my hope that some normalcy is gained from now as we restructure and rebuild. Your support means the world to me, and we can't wait to embark on this next chapter together.

Giveaway Alert:

That upcoming giveaway mentioned in the last update, The copy of Pokemon Violet.

I will hold the giveaway towards the end of september or the beginning of october depending on how things get planned out.

So keep tuning in and I will clarify it soon.

Thank you, Nateizens, for your continued enthusiasm and dedication. The Shadows await, and I am thrilled to have you by my side!
