Why, hello there.
This week, the videos are gonna be themed
around Twitch and video games in general,
but before we get started with the actual video,
I did want to mention that I am still selling
the No More CRAPtions shirts.
I have a picture right over here
so you can see what they look like.
They are on sale through the 21st,
so you only got a few days left by the time
that you're watching this video
at least when it first goes live.
So if you want to get one, get one now.
They come in various cuts like
short sleeves, long sleeves, a hoodie,
tank top and they come in a few different colors.
So, I'll have the link down below,
so make sure you go check that out.
So, one question that I get very often
on Twitch, mostly when the fact that
I can't hear for crap comes up,
or when I have Deaf Fortnite Player in the title
because, you know, sometimes it brings in the views.
And when you're trying to get partner,
that's what you do.
So, when that topic comes up,
a lot of the new people that come in and go,
first, they think I'm kidding.
Secondly, they go,
"Wait a second, then why are you wearing headphones?"
Or, "Wait, you're not really deaf!"
you can still hear this person.
And that's a whole different topic
to which I'll just sum it up with
remember, deafness is a spectrum.
And it's more complicated than anything.
But anyway.
So, yeah, the viewers have been asking me,
"Why are you wearing headphones?"
so often, that my mods
actually made a command explaining it.
So that way when someone brings it up,
it's right there with a big old paragraph.
And of course, I don't mind when people ask these questions,
it's normally always how they ask the question.
Some people are genuinely curious and that is fine.
And then some aren't really and just want to troll.
And I learned that quickly about someone
when they started throwing slurs and stuff around.
Anyways, and before I get to the answer,
which I'm sure many of you who know who I am,
who watch my videos know,
but some people don't know, that's why they ask.
But before I get to the answer,
I want to mention, I'm not the only deaf gamer
that wears headphones.
Chris wears headphones, we've played Fortnite
together actually, both of us wearing headphones
and talking to each other.
And Crow_Se7en, I believe, also wears headphones.
I feel like that might be escaping my brain at the moment
but I'm pretty sure.
So I will actually have a link to both Crow_Se7en
and Chris' Twitches and YouTube channels down below.
I think Crow_Se7en is the only one with a YouTube channel.
But whatever.
Links down below.
So, to the actual point,
why are you wearing headphones?
Because, like I said, deafness is a spectrum.
And most of us, if you look at the statistics,
at least the statistics that I have personally seen,
most deaf people can still hear some things.
I have a video that's titled
What I Can and Cannot Hear,
and I hear deeper sounds
way better than high pitched sounds.
So for example, when I'm playing Fortnite,
I can't hear the chests
but I can typically hear most of the weapons
that are being used in the game.
PUBG, not so much.
When it comes to playing Squad,
that gets a little bit more difficult.
There's,
I can hear most of people that I play with,
I tend to play with the same people.
But I play with some friends that are
significantly much more quiet,
and I don't do a really good job at hearing them.
Now, understanding them is a completely different ballgame.
They'll be asking me a question and I'm just like...
So really, just to sum it up,
some of us are wearing headphones because
if you're playing a game based on sound,
you want to try to the best of your ability
to be able to hear it.
If you're playing games like Sims or Stardew Valley,
you don't really need headphones.
You can kinda get away with it.
And also, you know, some headphones come with a mic,
you know.
This one has a little mic, I don't use it.
I have a different one that's over there.
But if somebody is playing Squad
with hearing people and, you know,
if the deaf person playing does speak,
then, they can still talk into the mic
and, you know, help out other people.
That's always a possibility.
So hopefully that's going to clear some stuff up.
You may think, "Well, that's a pretty simple question
with a pretty simple answer,"
but hey, some people just don't know things.
And that's what we're here for.
If you haven't followed me on Twitch already,
I would hope that you would consider doing so.
My user name is RikkiPoynterPlays.
Pretty simple, and I stream Monday through Friday,
occasionally Saturday but usually not
because Saturday is my filming day,
and I start streaming at 8pm EST
most of the time.
Sometimes 7, but, if you follow me on Twitter,
that's where I tend to update, you know,
if my schedule is not gonna be what it usually is.
That's where I update.
I play a lot of Fortnite, but I'm also getting into
some of the games because Seasons is coming out.
Yes!
So, you know, if you want to play, sometimes I play with viewers,
most of the time, you know,
it just depends.
And sometimes we don't even play games,
we talk for a little bit.
So if you just want a stream where you can chill,
come on over.
We try to make it as accessible as possible
with me SimComing
because, you know, two different audiences in one.
And sometimes we got one of my mods transcribing.
It's a stream that we try to make as accessible
as possible, but it doesn't always work out that way,
because, you know, one person.
Some people there aren't there to do all the things
but, yeah.
I hope you will consider following me,
and also if you haven't yet, before you go,
consider pledging on Patreon if you want to
help support my content.
I just changed up the perks.
I wanted to make them more affordable but
also more doable for me so we changed some stuff around.
So hopefully you consider doing that as well,
and I will see you later.
Bye.
