This event was more than just an anniversary stream; it was a thank you to the community that had supported my first year of streaming. Marketed as my "golden" year, the celebration was designed to give back to the viewers who made it all possible.
The two-part event culminated in my very first 12-hour stream and was the origin of all my future event production.

Custom overlays, graphics, and
one-day-only emotes!
An opportunity to give back.
Inspired by the recognition of high school sports banquets, I wanted to give that feeling of being seen and appreciated to my viewers. I curated a list of my 50 most active community members and created custom awards for them, such as Best Use of Emotes, Most Likely to Make a Pun, Best Skyrim Setup, and The Pillar Award for the most influential and impactful member.
To bring it to life, I coordinated with ~15 other members of the community to record themselves presenting these awards. The result was a powerful, touching tribute where every day people were now recognized for their unique contributions that before had seemingly gone unnoticed. It was a moment of connection that simply doesn't exist anywhere else on Twitch.
The emotional impact of the stream was solidified at the very end. When the stream concluded, the community kept spamming the custom "golden train" emote for a full 45 minutes after I had signed off. It was a silent, powerful gesture of gratitude and support that remains to this day, the most extraordinary experience I've had on the platform.
It’s only a minute long and I promise it’s worth watching:
This was my chat for 45 minutes
after the stream had ended.
