FAQ

What should we call you?

I go by Shaman online. I created a Transformice account and made the "nickname" something easy to remember because I didn't realize that the nickname was actually the screen name. At first it was "silly" with 5 L's. (sillllly, if you want to look it up.) My second account was named "Imaproshaman" because 12 year old me thought that people would know I was "good at the game by default". I’ve been playing since June 16th, 2011.

How old are you and where are you from?

February 10th, 1999. Oregon, US.

Is that what your voice "actually" sounds like/are you a girl?

I’m just me. I go by they/them pronouns.

When did you start streaming?

I streamed as far back as somewhere around early/pre-2016. I don't take it very seriously. If I force myself to do it and adhere to a schedule, then it would feel like a job. That's not very fun for me.

Why don’t you have a facecam?

I don't want to show myself like that. I can list several examples of successful streamers who don’t even use it. I'm okay with showing a handcam though and I think more people should, especially for rhythm games and speedrunning. I always think those are really interesting.

Why did you start speedrunning?

Casually, I’ve been replaying games since I was a kid since I rarely got new games except on special occasions, like a birthday or a holiday. So I just played what I had. Around the latter half of 2017, I joined the after being referred to it by a friend, . (Here's my .)

Then I bought the game Refunct on Steam and had 100% the achievements. They added some more and one of them required beating the game under 4 minutes, which meant that I had to learn the basic Any% route. I loved how fun it was so I kept doing it.

What marathons have you been a part of?

(2nd, 3rd & 4th - 2018, 2019 & 2020)
(1st - 2019)
(11th - 2020)

I have an osu! related question?

Everything about me relating to osu!, including my setup, can be found on my .

What are your hobbies/interests?

Of course, I really like speedrunning, but also a few other things. I'm really into . I think the writing style/quality, world building and ideas are really interesting to me. My favorite genres for media in general are things that really make me think after I've watched/read/listened to them. Things like alternate dimensions/timelines and found footage movies. I also find the behind-the-scenes for things really interesting.

I started writing my dreams down in 2015 because they always play out like a movie. I haven't compiled them yet but hopefully I can turn them into a book or a wiki page at some point. Ask me about any of these things and I'd be glad to rant about my love for them!
