5 years streaming & 500 followers

Okay, so I’m a bit late to the party. I was suppose to have written this post earlier on in the year but well, things got a little crazy and you’ll be finding out soon.

BUT

Whaaaaat? The big 500? Yep you heard it! And I still can’t believe it even months later.

Just before the end of the 2021 and nearing the 5th year anniversary of setting up my twitch account, I hit a goal I’ve been wanting for many years. The big 500 followers on Twitch. Which is absolutely insane! To think that 500 people enjoyed my content enough to join our tight knit community of Foxlings is incredible! And I can’t thank you all enough.

When I started Twitch 5 years ago, I couldn’t help but share my love for gaming. I started out on the washed out Counter Strike and Garry’s Mod, spending hours upon hours playing deathmatch, TTT and casual matches. Was I good? Haha, yeah no. Still an average player to this day. But was it fun? Oh of course! Nothing like causing a bit of trouble right? And then I started with some Minecraft, and eventually joined an amazing group of friends in a stream team called XNVR where we worked together playing games and event went to an EGX event where we got sneak peaks of games and so much more! Eventually I parted ways, simply because I had other things on my mind and avenues I wanted to go, but it was a time I will cherish and remember.

Then came 2019 and I became more serious about streaming. Enjoying playing games and building my own little community. Back then I had a different name, I started with SeriouslyBones (Okay yes that name was bad… But I was a StarTrek fan okay!) And then I moved to Lozzarr. I’d play more mix mashy games, and a lot more Counterstrike once more before eventually deciding to have a rebrand. You see, I got frustrated in 2020 by being called Lozzarr, because many people would say it as Loserr. And Yeah nope, that name in the end had to go. And so that came with the rebranding idea. I’d already gotten a solid lock on wanting my channel to be linked with foxes, I even had the stereotypical gamers logo which yep, that also had to go. And so I spent a while thinking of names and where to go. How to make my content feel like ME, something I’d be happy and proud of? Well. That’s when one night I had the idea of mixing my name and Fox together, creating the idea of Foxsley.

Ever since I did the change up, and moved the name to Foxsley, everything has just felt right. Each stream has felt perfect no matter how it went.

Along the way I’ve had the opportunity to befriend amazing members of the community. People who I am overwhelmed to call my friends, even some odd person I’d happily call my best friend from over the pond. But shh. Don’t tell Liza I said that.

But because of streaming, I’ve simply had the amazing opportunity to kindle friendships with people I most likely never would have known, and even rekindled friendships that went quiet. Something that I am immensely grateful for.

Okay now I’m rambling, but I just can’t tell you how grateful I am. It has been such a pleasure to hit that live button and interact with you all. Something I look forwards to each time I go live.

So thank you. Thank you to each and everyone of you who has come in and said hello. To you all who has all brought their own little something to this community. I cherish you all and am proud to call you my friends.

Thank you so so much.
