Hey hey everyone, it's creepy month!! This is the perfect month to stream and/or play all those horror games you've been putting off - or to replay some classics. A personal favourite of mine is Alien: Isolation, which I guess isn't really that much of a horror game and is more suspense/thriller (although when I first played it years ago, I was terrified and had to actually take breaks. I ended...

Monthly code: September

Hey hey! It's that month that Earth, Wind and Fire made a song about! I don't know about y'all, but I am EXHAUSTED. If I didn't have much free time before, I definitely do not now. My partner and I recently got a husky puppy. We had already been planning to get a dog this year, but were planning on a cockapoo or golden retriever, both of which are fairly good dogs (so I've heard) for beginners....

Monthly code: August

Hey everyone! It's my favourite month of the year- August. The height of summer, and just relaxing warm evening vibes. Although, saying that, I got back from a holiday to Rome this month, and had an amazing time, but the heat was really something else. It was insane. Temps hit 40°C almost (approx 104°F)! Fortunately our apartment had AC, which I think is rare in Europe, but boy am I glad we h...

Monthly code: July

Hey y'all!! We are officially a week and change over the summer solstice, which means the days are going to slowly start getting shorter. Not by much, but just very slightly. It's a weird thought, and I guess it doesn't really feel like it until daylight saving ends. I was in Munich for work recently- the heat and long warm evenings were lovely (for getting to see some of the city after work) �...

Monthly code: June

Hello fellow June-enjoyers! I've had an insane last few weeks and have just been everywhere (emotionally, kind of physically?) - last Tuesday I sadly had to attend a funeral, on Thursday I celebrated at an old school friend's wedding, and then Saturday was another friend's birthday. So it was almost the full cycle of life, but maybe in reverse. So yes, I've been stretched thin a little, but the...

Monthly code: May

Hey hey, happy May! I'm writing this now with slightly bruised limbs, having been pelted at my first ever airsoft outing (thanks to joining a friend's stag do). Let's just say that I have an immense appreciation of FPS game characters being able to crouch repeatedly without (seemingly) much effort, because boy oh boy, I did not realise exactly how tiring on the knees and legs it would be in rea...

Monthly code: April

Heylo! It's officially spring! And so daylight savings have started in Europe. Ironically, I'd been aware the entire week, and then on the weekend, while out celebrating a friend's birthday, time jumped from 1AM to 2AM and I didn't realise until the next morning. THAT was a trip 😂 I wondered why I felt so tired. But... I'll gladly take the time loss in exchange for the longer warm summery ev...

Monthly code: March

Hey hey! We are officially out of winter (calendar-wise, at least).

I got to celebrate my birthday last month, which was both exciting and minorly existential crisis inducing (...yay, I'm older...)- but regardless, I got to celebrate it with the people I love, and Twitch friends were visiting London from across the pond (not for me, just a happy coincidence). Have you ever organised a min...

Monthly code: February

Hey everyone! Happy February. Hope you're all doing well and had a great start to the year. Mine was good, albeit a little rocky... But we're upon a new month! How did everyone do with their goals for the first month? I actually barely went geocaching in January, so I may slightly have my work cut out for me in the next few months... we'll see 😂

Anyway, this month's code (100 slots, 20...

Monthly code: January

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We're in 2025! If you were fortunate enough to have some time off over the holidays, I hope you had a great time, recharging, or spending it with friends and family ☺️ If you didn't, I hope you get some time soon to do so!

Do any of y'all have any goals for the new year? Either related to stream, or personal? (if you want to share). One personal goal I have is to do m...

Monthly code: December

Happy holidays y'all!! It's that time of year again, can you believe it's almost 2025? I think this has definitely been one of the fastest years I've personally experienced (of the last couple years at least) and I actually have no idea why.

Are there any things you're looking forward to celebrating in the new year, or any goals you're thinking of working towards? For me, I recently got i...

Monthly code: November

Hello and happy November!!

Hopefully everyone had a great scary month (if you celebrate). I spent yesterday afternoon carving my pumpkin (my first time ever!) and it didn't turn out terrible actually, so I'm pretty proud of it 😂 Although now we're in the weird inbetween state of having gone past Halloween, but still having the weekend, and then into the winter holidays celebrations! No...

Monthly code: October

Howdy everyone, happy October! Hope everyone is doing great! Got back from TwitchCon San Diego last week and had a great time! Was also great to see some of y'all at the con as well! Might've gotten a little cough now, but thankfully nothing major which might've been from all the screaming on the rides :|

But aside from that it's scary game month! I'm planning on playing a few and could u...

Monthly code: September

Hey gang! Happy September! I hope you're all doing amazing. I've been working a lot unfortunately, but it's been really nice keeping busy. Makes me appreciate the downtime in life just a little bit more. Trying to carve out some proper time for myself to watch shows and movies though, because I've been lacking! If y'all have any recommendations PLEASE drop them below!

ALSO if anyone's hea...

Monthly code: August

IT'S SO HOT. I am literally melting into a puddle on the ground. The UK (and probably most of Europe I guess) is absolutely not built for the heat 😂 I think we reached highs of 26 or 27C here (approx 81F) which apparently is fairly temperate for the US folks (????). I just can't imagine how y'all survive out there.

Anyway, assuming this code hasn't also melted into something unreadable...

Monthly code: July

Hello future people in July! I'm writing this from a few days ago in June because I'll be in Rotterdam this weekend for TwitchCon! I heard there'll be a heatwave, and I seriously hope it won't be a repeat of the last two years where the heat has been unrelenting and unbearable 😭

The problem is that much of Europe (or well, at least the UK) isn't really built for heat, i.e. no AC. It's ...

Monthly code: June

Hello!! Sorry for the slightly later post today, I've been visiting my parents and attending a wedding celebration! It's been nice getting to hang out with family I haven't seen in a while, being around the hometown and familiar digs again.

It's June though! TwitchCon Rotterdam is at the end of the month- I'll be in attendance so please let me know if you're planning on going! I still hav...

Monthly code: May

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a good April, we're into May now!

What has everyone been up to recently? I recently took my first PTO from work for the first time this year, went on a family holiday to Greece. I haven't been away with my family since 2015, so that was really nice, to be able to hang out with them on vacation again. The weather was generally pretty amazing, so that was ...

Monthly code: April

Hello hello! It's April 1! Hopefully you've not taken anything too seriously today. I was already rick-rolled once this morning and decided to log off socials for today 😂 and maybe I'll just wait for this to blow over.

Not sure if the US get the long Easter weekend, but I hope that if you did, that is was restful, chill, and a much needed break from all the stressful life stuff. Maybe ...

Monthly code: March

Happy March! You know you've maybe been playing too much Lethal Company with friends when you think of March and think of the moon instead of the month 😬

Not sure if anyone else's been playing it, but I've been finding LC to be a really great game to play with friends, not only is it not very demanding of a game to run, but the easy-to-understand gameplay loop means I've been able to p...

Monthly code: February

Hello!! It's that time of month again 😊 I hope the first month of everyone's brand new year went ok! Or if it didn't, then I hope things pick up for you this month. It feels like the start of month went by really fast, then it started to slow down a lot towards the end, but maybe that's just me.

My boiler broke halfway through the month which was extremely unfortunate 😢 W...

Monthly code: January

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Not sure if was just me, but December FLEW BY. We're now in 2024! Hopefully everyone had some really good holidays (maybe even some more to go), and got some quality rest time in. If you didn't, then I hope you get some in the coming weeks.

If you're setting some New Year's resolutions (actual ones that is lol), what are they? (You don't have to share if they're super per...

Monthly code: December

Hello!! Not sure whereabouts in the world y'all are based, but it's absolutely freezing here right now. Technically I guess winter has started, but still 😭 What's the temperatures like where you all are?

Speaking of winter and potentially holiday streams, I wanted to surface a tool I worked on a while ago, it's called 2023-12-01 20:52:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Monthly code: November

Hey everyone! Hope y'all had a great scary month! I just got back from Las Vegas last month and had a great time. Vegas itself wasn't amazing, (so expensive! 😭 How do people live there???) but seeing all my friends and making new ones was a blast.

Can you believe we'll have finished 2023 in two months' time? Let's finish the year strong! If you have any goals you're aiming to ...

Monthly code: October

Hallo! It's that time of year again: spooky season! Does anyone have anything exciting planned this month for their streams? Do you like to play horror games? Personally I'm terrible with horror games, not really because I get scared (I do) but because I'm terrible with properly vocalising my horror reactions. I get scared, but I don't always show it on my face (unless it's a major jumpscare). ...

Monthly code: September

Hello everyone! Can you believe that it's already SEPTEMBER?? There are FOUR more months until the end of the year 😭 Pretty insane. But hopefully everyone is doing well? I've fortunately gotten a lot better since the start of the month! (I was ill) - went through a bunch of personal things, lots of ups and downs still, but hopefully things smooth out soon 😅

I'm thinking of starting ...

Monthly code: August

Hey everyone! Happy August! Gonna keep this one short this month because I'm a bit sick at the moment unfortunately 😭 To everyone I had the pleasure of meeting at TwitchCon in Paris, thank you so much! I hope you all had a fantastic time there- I certainly had a blast.

Anyway- the code this month (100 slots, 20 per category):  6A3A2RHJ

Monthly code: July

Hello! Happy seventh month of the year! Hope everyone is staying hydrated. If you're in Europe like me, then you'll probably agree we've had some extremely hot weather recently, which is both lovely and terrible all at the same time 😬 In any case, it seems like things have cooled down a bit in the last week... so hopefully I won't be a melting puddle of sweat at TwitchCon Paris (which is nex...

Monthly code: June

Hello!! Just about half way through the year, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying sunny weather (or your alternative preferred weather).

Just wanted to apologise and thank y'all for your patience this last month or two. There have been some teething issues with Triggerfyre's availability, but these should be resolved now. I'm continuing to monitor the servers to ensure it remains so....

Monthly code: May

Happy May everyone!

Are there any EU (or potentially US) creators who will be attending TwitchCon EU in Paris in two months? If you are, please let me know! I have another batch of Triggerfyre pins to give out. I'll be sure to tweet out closer to the time as well :)

Last year I was fortunate enough to join several other third party devs and got to give a presentation on TF at the co...
