A Pirate In Japan hasn't added a story.
Hi folks, I'm A Pirate In Japan. A Twitch caster (https://www.twitch.tv/apirateinjapan), and starting Youtube creator.
Backstory:
I'm an American who crossed an ocean with my wife to live in the wonderful land of Japan. While my wife works her 8 - 4 job, I stay at home looking after the castle and playing games. Eventually, I decided to turn my hobby and love for games into entertainment for others when I got to borrow a friend's PS4.
This friend eventually turned into a roommate when his life took an unfortunate turn and was unable to find employment. Despite his brave efforts and my encouragement, he was unable to stay in Japan and had to fly home at the expiration of his Visa. Out of gratitude for letting him stay, he was to leave the PS4 in my care, but last minute travel expenses led him with no choice but to sell it. Now I'm left without any reliable means to broadcast on my channel.
Without a better grasp of Japanese, finding a job here has been near impossible for me. My wife makes enough for us to live comfortable, but not enough to cover additional expenses. Now I'm not asking for another PS4. I just want ANY means I can get to continue bringing fun and entertaiment to the wonderful friends and followers that are willing to put up with my nonsense. It's thanks to streaming and meeting amazing new people from it that I've gained new reason to wake up in the morning and not sulk in solitary depression.
What can be done:
This is the part where YOU come in. Any tiny bit you can send helps keep the spirit alive. What I receive, I will put straight back into equipment for the stream and any improvements I can make for it.
Goals:
- Elgato Game Capture HD60 = $157 (bare minimum needed to keep streaming)
- Blue Microphones Snowball = $60 (Better quality than a headset)
OR
- Mod 3DS with a Capture Card $ 275 (for upcoming MonsterHunter and Pokemon games)
OR
- PS4 Slim = $299 (Alternative to 3DS cap, for upcoming Nioh, Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War)
The amount of funds I get, and feedback from you and followers, will help me make a judgement on where funds should be applied.
An Elgato capture device will allow me to stream from my WiiU and PC.
If I get an additional $300, then I can apply it to a 3DS or a PS4 to stream a different variety of games. So when donating, leave a note on which you prefer me to focus on if I make the goal.
What happens after:
If I'm able to keep streaming, I'll keep working hard towards getting partnership with Twitch. Along the way, I've saved prizes from Japan that I want to giveaway to my followers, along with games as well. So, look forward to it! And thank you all very much!
