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!

@janejacksonVO @Aurora_Dawns TIME TO KICK ASS!

✨🔥💥 so ready for 3.3!

Jiuyuan is one of the best looking characters in Neverness to Everness. An absolute MUST HAVE if you're a Waifu-collector! Here are some of her basic attacks, abilities and ultimate, along with outfits. #NevernesstoEverness #NTE Neverness to Everness launches on April 29!

After finishing Wuthering Waves 3.2 (Segue with Lucilla and Hiyuki,) I gotta say, all of 3.2 has been very good. I never gave my thoughts on the base 3.2 (Part 1) because I was waiting for Part 2, but man - while this wasn't the BEST patch, it was surprisingly good. ✅Denia is such a deep character, with a personality archetype I haven't seen ingame yet (she's super sassy, snarky and seems very standoffish.) ✅The animations, facial expressions (Sigrika specifically,) were wild this patch LMAO. ✅Seeing so many characters come back for yet another patch has been incredibly enjoyable. All of these characters actually seem like they're a part of a larger story, rather than 1-and-done chapter characters of the past, which has been such a refreshing change of pace. ✅The story is getting closer and closer to a climax, which I cannot wait to see! ✅Learning about Lucilla's past was absolutely tragic, but also highly interesting, seeing her act so nonchalant about (you know who) trying to destroy her mentally and emotionally shows how strong of a character she is. ✅Meeting Hiyuki and finding out how powerful she is was sick. Her intro cinematic was one of the coolest character intros I've seen in WuWa to date. ✅WE SAW CHISA AGAIN! I genuinely can't believe how much I enjoyed this patch. Damn. Both Part 1 and Part 2 together were such a fantastic experience and I'm ridiculously excited for version 3.3 on the 30th. ⚔️ALEPH-1 WE'RE COMING FOR AEMEATH⚔️

@amanda_rischel Why am I getting Xenoblade vibes from this??

Can’t wait to see where it’s going to go 🤯

@VyncentRemethar Deserved bro. Now keep the momentum alive!

Guys what the HECK?! You’re blowing me away right now!

@VyncentRemethar Sometimes it’s the dumbest or easiest words or sentences Lmao

@ByteStix Recorded a script today. Had this exact same issue trying to pronounce Lethal Rose Pact.

This is how my morning is going. How're all of you doing this fine, beautiful day? Playing anything fun?

@The_short_nurse This is gonna be BIG

Working on something and I'm about 9 pages deep. I'm forgetting the English language the deeper I go into writing.

I absolutely NEED Chiz in my party - thankfully she's easy to obtain! Here are some of her basic attacks, abilities and ultimate, along with outfits. #NevernesstoEverness #NTE Neverness to Everness launches on April 29!

@GikkuY Time for an OnlyFans!

Falloff of the century (comeback imminent)

@changlicharts Just enjoy what you like and play what you’re interested in! Haha

@ByteStix I am excited too!!! Sadly theres too much haters outside judging people and trying to downplay them that its kinda of tiring but i am already used to it lol

Despite all the drama going on right now, I'm super excited for Neverness to Everness. I'm gonna play for a whole week straight and absolutely no life that game. Genuinely cannot wait 'til the 29th, bro. Screw the haters.

@MaiRubeee oh sounds legit, did you avoid Mi Fu?

@ByteStix Tangtang hit up my line cuz she wanted to see me…. 🫣

I went to the Arknights Endfield x Beard Papas pop-up store in Little Tokyo (LA) the past weekend!! 💖 I GOT THE PERLICA KEYCHAIN TOO!! 🥰 My favorite flavor in the set is TangTang’s which has oreos w/ cookies n cream filling 😋 #ArknightsEndfield #Endfield #BeardPapas

@MattWallace888 The kids are engaged and learning, the teacher looks normal, and seems like she cares about her students. What’s the problem?

@ALLfiring2026 YO THE MC’S LOOK SO GOODDDD

📖【Protagonist Archive | Fire Keeper】📖 🔎Proceeding to Aethelgard Archives... “A young girl/boy who lost her/his memories due to certain special circumstances.

@netflix Okay I can see the vision.

Gundam, the iconic franchise that launched a global phenomenon, is now in production. The live-action film starring Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo follows rival mech pilots at war across Earth and its space colonies.

@FenrissonSimon @Crysanthis @The_short_nurse Appreciate the kind words man. But that pineapple pizza comment was unnecessary.

@Crysanthis @ByteStix @The_short_nurse Listen you Lil punk 😂

In the gacha space, where tribalism, toxicity, and drama are a daily occurrence, @ByteStix and his wife @The_short_nurse are actually trying to create a place that is welcoming and honest. He even reaches out to smaller CCs to help them grow. Yet some people obsessively attack and discredit him for everything he says or does. You all need to grow the fuck up. Having a different opinion doesn't make someone wrong or worthy of hate. If you don't like him, just unfollow and let him and his community enjoy some peace. Personally, I've found real friends in @ByteStix and @The_short_nurse. That happened because Stix stays true to himself no forced drama, no tribalism. He gives well-informed news, shares his (sometimes unapologetic) opinions, hypes stuff like the rest of us, and actually plays the games. He does his dailies just like everyone else, not just for sponsorships. We can all have opinions and disagree. Hell, I disagree with him sometimes... that man doesn't like Hawaiian pizza. Absolute insanity. At the end of the day, you can enjoy Kuro and Hoyo games at the same time. Play what brings you fun and happiness that's exactly what Stix tries to show. No drama, no tribalism, no toxicity. Just GGG: Gacha, Gooning, and Games. Stix, I respect the hell out of you. Even with all the haters and shit thrown your way, you stay true to yourself, stand your ground, and have built a genuinely cozy and welcoming community for so many gacha players. #Gacha #GachaCommunity #ByteStix #NoToxicity #GachaGames
