Stix

2026 marks a new year for me and for us as a community! With this in mind, I want to spend 2026 doing something a little different. A little more creative, and a little more high quality. As you can see in the attached image, views are good. For news, for new game reveals, for recaps of drama. All of it. But one thing I haven’t done much of lately is fully reviewing games. Playing them thoroughly to a point I can have a real, genuine, honest opinion of them. And that’s where this year changes that. I started this channel — and grew this channel using my Worst Gacha Ever series. These videos did wildly well and were full reviews of different Gacha games. However I'd only play them for 5, 10, sometimes 15 hours before reviewing them and in retrospect that isn’t nearly enough. So in 2026, what I’m going to do is pick 3 new games per month and stream them. Every single week. I’ll play them ON stream and OFF stream. I’ll do my utmost to put in AT LEAST 100 hours before reviewing them. I think that’s fair. And I want to take you all along for the ride with me. Do be aware: some of these games will be good, fun, but some will be painfully bad. But I think it’ll be worth it. A lot of people accuse Gacha CCs of being “sloptubers” due to the nature of react content and I do agree to an extent that react content CAN be slop depending on the kind of content it is. Which is why in an effort to ENHANCE my own content, I want to dive as deeply into these games as I possibly can before talking about them as if I know what I’m saying. 2026 will be a big year for me. Not only will I be uploading general reviews, news, reacts, new games, first impressions and everything else on my Stix channel, BUT, I'll be deep diving into fully informational videos and reviews on my Stix Playx channel. This is the year where I grow as a person, as a content creator, and set not only an example in quality, but also in authority. I will do my very best not to let any of you down, and will work to better myself, and the Gacha genre, however little I can. See you all there!

Okay so this was unexpected. Multiple videos blowing up randomly after 1 took off. I noted in my Tweet that is my 48-hr peak could hit 300k, it would surpass my ALL TIME PEAK on both my Stix Gacha channel, and my MMOByte MMO channel. It did. It went above 300k, all the way to 374k. Legit.. if this hit 400k views within 48hrs, I daresay it might take me years to ever surpass it again LOL. The last 48 hours has now officially been the MOST VIEWED my channel has been in my entire history (8+ years) on Youtube. Surprised to see other videos being slowly picked up as well. Absolutely wild.

@Rexlent Wait which one are you?? I can’t tell the difference!

They only know of the Yangyang lore but are not ready for this.

@Taelyr69420 Wasn’t streaming anything! It’s 2 videos.

@ByteStix What game were you streaming?

DAMN what a crazy 48hrs. If that hits 300k, it will be the most watched my channel has been in its ENTIRE HISTORY.

@StephanPretori6 Thank youuuu!!

@BarkiVT Thank youuuu

@ByteStix Congratulations! Thats so awesomeee!

@BuggedBossRun Yoo appreciate that man!!

@ByteStix Well deserved, bro. Best gacha coverage about by a long shot 👏😁👍

@FenrissonSimon @The_short_nurse Lmfaooooo

@ByteStix Congrats to the views and maybe making "Stixtory" If we look at the content, etc then it is the standard goonery and talks like always. So what is different? You started growing a beard! Just saying and sorry @The_short_nurse

@WuWa_Ani_Info @Rexlent is the goat

I was rewatching the 1.0 live stream and I forgot this was a thing lmaoo 😭

@iammordant Thank you brother :D

@ByteStix Let's goooo Congrats man

Always would negate the fact there's a ton of us gamer girls out there who love a gaming partner. So long as you balance life with the hobby, you'll both be fine. Just be yourself, be considerate, and find someone that aligns to you to walk through life. That's hot.

@ByteStix I love doing you

@ujarac same bro, same.

Yup totally going to pull for Hotori

Growing as a Content Creator is difficult. Making friends as a content creator is difficult. Finding an audience as a content creator is difficult. Which is why I'm here to help! Every month, I make a Tweet allowing every Gacha content to plug themselves! Introduce yourself to my community, to others' communities. Make some new friends. Content creators and viewers alike. Every new viewer, every new follower, every new subscriber is 1 step closer to success. So take the opportunity! Right now, like this tweet, retweet this tweet to share it to YOUR followers, and leave a reply telling us about you. Link to your channel. Explain the kind of content you do. Win those new viewers over! You have thousands of potential viewers in the comment section of this tweet alone! It doesn't matter if you cover Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact, Neverness to Everness, Arknights Endfield, NIKKE. Our community loves ALL Gacha games.

Now that Neverness to Everness has released, are you MORE or LESS excited for Ananta? Ananta will have: - no character Gacha - a narrative focus around multiple characters - each character will engage in the world while you’re playing as someone else - outfits that every character in the same gender can wear (such as every female can wear the same bikini and it wants to their body) - action combat similar to Sifu - enormous open world (with more than 1 region) - Spider-Man style swinging (for world traversal) and so much more. Has NTE gotten you even more hyped for games of its kind? Or are you now disinterested after seeing what an urban game is like?

@janejacksonVO Ohhhhh I don’t wanna spoil anything so I’ll withhold any team advice, but I’m curious who you’ll choose :D

@ByteStix 🙂‍↕️ first day playing after launch!!!

👀 guess what I'm playing!

@The_short_nurse I CAN’T WAIT

After hours and hours of playing the Farever beta, I gotta say...this is such a simple and fun game and I'm so excited for it to launch in just 3 days! It's like Minecraft exploring mixed with World of Warcraft.

@janejacksonVO Wait! Is this your first day playing?

@ByteStix I mean aside from Perly I don't know yet!! Any recs??
