Twitch Subtember 2023 Details, GX Aura Vtuber and Kick's Creator Incentive Progam

Hello, and Happy Monday! Do you ever feel like you should be doing MORE than you currently are? My days are busy already, and yet, for the last couple of months, the idea of being on podcasts is top of mind. Last week, I did a private speaking engagement and was on PumpkinPotion's Tooned In show. And now, I think I want to do more? The struggle of being a creator - never being satisfied with what you currently do!

Last week I asked you what games you were most looking forward to, and you only had one consistent answer: Starfield. Others look forward to Lords of the Fallen, Super Mario RPG Remake, and Nightingale. This week, I want to know what kind of content you create! And now, let's get into the news!
