Let’s get to know Chelsea💖
Tell us a little about yourself and how did you start gaming / creating content?
My name is Chelsea and I have been gaming since I was very young. As a child, games were a bonding tool for my sisters and myself and would create lasting memories for all of us. I started gaming after watching my older sister play Donkey Kong 64 on her Nintendo 64. This began my gaming journey. From there it went to Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii console until one day I came across Animal Crossing City Folk. When I discovered this game it unlocked a core memory for me as I went on to play Wild World on my DS and the rest was history. This sparked a passion and love which eventually became my ultimate favourite series: Animal Crossing. Years and years down the track, in the year 2020 when COVID lockdowns began I started an Instagram based upon Pietro the villager from ACNH (pietro_honk_honk) for two years. This then later introduced me to the world of Twitch where I would begin my streaming journey in January 2021. It has now nearly been three years of streaming and I would not trade it for the world. I love my community and our love for gaming.
Do you have any hobbies outside of gaming?
I like to read and I play five instruments: guitar, piano, drums, flute, and ukulele.
What all-time favorite gaming memory/achievement do you have?
Playing Duke Nukem with my Dad when I was a kid. I got so scared that my Dad took over and played for me. It was a nice bonding moment for us.
Are there any specific tools or gear that have improved your cozy gaming experience?
Spotify most definitely did enhance this experience for me. I now mostly play games whilst listening to some Lofi in the background.
Can you share a memorable interaction or story involving your friends or community?
A memorable interaction for me with my community will always be when I had taken a break from streaming and I was so nervous to come back but when I started my stream the whole community was there cheering and getting hype in chat. It was such a lovely moment for me and it felt like the feeling of coming home or being exactly where I needed to be.
What are your plans and goals as a gaming influencer?
My main goal at the moment is to dive into as many games as I can and do a large amount of variety.
Do you have a favorite cozy playlist/song?
Super Mario Galaxy Lofi
Is there someone from the gaming community you’d like to spotlight or recommend to our audience?
