Not as much as there used to be, but there was a big stigma before. Right. Oh, I want to be a gamer. I want to be a YouTuber. You think it's like a feasible path for most people, though? Absolutely not. That's what I think, too. I'm sure you get this also.
Like, parents are like, oh, my kid wants to do this. Like, do you have any advice for them that are starting this now? And you're like, well, good luck, I guess. All right, guys, we got five up here today. Is this your first podcast? I've done a few podcasts before, but it's been a moment since I've done one. Because you've done a face reveal recently, right?
No, like two years ago. Two years ago. I guess that's kind of recent, but yeah. Yeah. In comparison, how long you've been playing, I guess, right? Oh, yeah. You've been PC gaming for how long now?
oh i've been playing games at least in the scene for like seven years now i'd say wow so yeah two years pretty recent yeah so what was the first big game that that got you into things oh the game that got me into stuff probably league of legends okay i was like the thing that kind of kick-started me uh if you know what that game is i used to play i was terrible oh okay you were probably really good i said no i was in that game oh you weren't good no i was challenger oh challenger is that the highest rank yeah that's the highest rank you can be wow so you're playing professionally
Not professionally, but it kind of kickstarted me into getting a bunch of connections and meeting a bunch of people within the scene itself. Got it. And then what game after that did you go to? What started me online was Among Us, I guess. I was the really big kickstarter into everything. Right. I used to watch all those videos with Toast and all those guys. Were you one of those players?
Oh, yeah. I played with Toast all the time. Oh, nice. And you still play Among Us, right? Yeah, I still do. That's impressive. Yeah. I love deception games in general. People can get tired of them. Me personally, I think I could see myself playing it for still even years to go. Wow. Yeah, I love it. Because I feel like it kind of died off a little bit.
It definitely had its slumps. It's actually kind of coming back right now, though. Really? Yeah, surprisingly. What do you think is bringing it back? Honestly, Toast. Oh, he's playing again? Yeah, he started playing again, and everyone's like, well, it's time to go back. Oh, God. Dude, he was so good at that game. He's pretty good. I'm better, though. You're better than Toast?
I am better than Toast. He'll say that? Not publicly. What's your ranking list of all-time Among Us players? Among Us players overall? I think it kind of depends on like... Among Us, there's different roles and whatnot. You can be crewmate, imposter. You can be all-around player. I think all-around, I'm the best. I think crewmate-wise, a person named Hafu is the best.
Oh, the girl, right? Yeah. Asian girl. Yeah, I've seen her. And then Toast is also like pretty like between us both also, I'd say. Got it. So you're just really good at imposter. Yeah, specifically imposter I'm really good at. Crewmate, I'm not bad at though either. Got it. When you get imposter, what is your win rate?
