Day 1:
I heard about it a few days ago. Mobius Online. New Sonic game, the first ever MMORPG created for the series. I was skeptical, extremely so. both because of SEGA’s track record so far, and for the fact it was something they hadn’t even tried once. But the reviews started coming in, friends were always busy playing it, and a bunch of different websites and online celebrities were raving about it. So I said fuck it, I’ll give it a shot.
A few clicks later, and there it was, on my pc. And I didn’t even have to pay, since it was free week. Nice. Hopefully it’ll live up to the hype. I’ll try it tomorrow, after work.
Day 2:
Okay, this is great! It’s pretty easy to get into, and everything’s fun! You get to make your own mobian and everything! And there’s so much to choose from!! I made a bird, a purple one that looked like a cardinal, and got right in to talk with sonic himself. Redesign they gave him for this was a little… off, but I don’t hate it. He sent me on a few different missions, and I was good at them! I felt like I was on top of the world! Was running through stages, picking up rings and doing the quests like it was nothing. So, of course, I did another, and then another. Luckily I was able to stop by around 12, but I definitely see the hype. I do have some paid time off… maybe I could use it tomorrow, call in and just have a good time grinding out more missions.
Day 5:
This sucks, man. I spent all my pto, and now I’m stuck at work, listening to clients blather on about how “they’re angry at the store they went to, for not giving them a refund! I want to sue!” or how they got scammed by a cryptocurrency group, and they want to see what their options are. Usually I can just push through the bullshit, but today feels like it’s taking FOREVER. As soon as 6 hits, I’m out the door, and I’m home asap. I can get in some more missions, if I’m quick, hopefully enough before the event’s over. And hey, I can pay for the full thing too. I feel like it’s worth it.
Day 11:
I hate this job. I don’t want to be here. I want to be at home, playing. I’m good at the game, I’m amazing at it. Every quest I do, I’m kicking ass, and leveling up. I’m almost level 40 already. And if I have to hear one more bitch whine about how suing someone for a bullshit reason, I might just quit here and now.
Maybe I could be a streamer. Yeah, that’d be a great way to get some cash. And I could stream Mobius Online! I’ll give it some thought after work, while I’m playing.
Day 20:
I got my next paycheck, and then put in my resignation. I was out the door before the boss could get a word in edgewise. I popped by the closest tech store, bought some equipment, and called a friend over. We got everything set up, even got a neat overlay, and then I was online, streaming. Got enough money saved up to pay the next few months of bills before I get the ball rolling. I’ll stream for a few hours, and then get a quick bite. Just something small. Don’t wanna take too much time.
Day 46:
Woo! 300 subscribers!! And a good amount of followers too! I’ve gotten into a good routine. I stream for about 6 hours a day, and then relax and play it myself for a good bit. Subs keep telling me I’m doing great. Even gotten some fanart of my bird with Sonic sent my way. I always do a quick little thank you on the next day about those when I stream. Every second Saturday I do a 24 hour stream, those leave me wiped on Sunday, but it’s always fun.
Day 83:
5k, wooooooooo! I’m pretty good on cash thanks to the donations and subs. I’m almost level 80. Don’t know what I’ll do when I get to 100. Maybe a 48 hour stream, with a break or two inbetween. Folks’d love that. I know I would.
Day 113:
We hit 100 a few days back, and I did my stream. I nearly passed out afterwards, but after a power nap, and an energy drink, I was back to streaming next day. If it weren’t for the twitch chat, I would have forgotten about my dinner, but I caught it and had a quick bite.
Day 150:
I bought a mini fridge. Stocked it with some food and smoothies that I could drink so I wouldn’t have to worry about taking too much time during dinner. Friends tried calling me, telling me it wasn’t the best idea. A few of em even said they popped into the streams every once in a while, said I was looking thin. Who cares, I always felt like I was a bit fat. And I’m not gonna quit yet, there’s a big raid event coming soon, and I got invited as a special streamer!
Day 220:
I had to break off a few friendships, but who cares. Fuckers came into my house, in the middle of MY STREAM, and argued with me to go outside and get some help. They even turned off my pc! Fuck them. They’re not real friends. I got better one’s on my streams, and ones online. Fuck what they say. I’ve never felt better. I’m winning, that’s all that matters.
Day 372:
My whole body hurts. I don’t know when the last time I took a break from doing these streams was, but I don’t care. I’m lvl 249. Big achievement, I feel. But I wanna do even better. Maybe if I do another few 24 hour streams, I can get to 300 with my fans watching. I’ll probably need to stock up on my fridge though. Maybe. Or I can make this last, and get some after a few days. Just ration it. Wanna keep playing. Have to keep playing. Don’t wanna stop.
