    Pretty quick and dirty episode here, but on a subject I think we'll be delving more into over time. I sit down for some Korean BBQ with Meg Kaylee and Pikalyn and discuss the phenomenon of viewers suddenly thinking they have a say/ownership in your stream or channel because they made a donation, or for some other reason. Follow me on Twitter at @jauxking and let me know if this has ever happened to you.

    Hey, my name is Joe and I work in the video games industry. I get lots of questions from people about how to break into games, since I'm no expert, we're gonna learn together. This is going to be a lo-fi journey. I've put off making this for a long time because I was hung up on all the wrong details, mainly sound quality and format. No more. The important thing is the content itself and the conversations that we'll all have. Let's do it.
