I Interviewed pattycakes cause he is a hero to the destiny/gaming community. It was online on Discord and I interviewed him on the 8th of June 2021

How does it feel being successful on youtube?

Uh i mean i don't know if qualify as successful yet but

Things have been going well i would say that at first it feels kind of weird like you just getting comfortable with um people kind of starting to know your name and watch your content more

And then over time as you get more attention you get a wide variety like you know comments

And people kind of following you and you get both more fans and more haters so to speak who are there just to be mean which is not cool but overall it a very positive thing

Why did you start getting in to gaming

I mean i've been playing games since i was a little kid along time ago i'd say the reason i continue playing mostly are just for enjoyment it's a good way to connect with either new people that i haven't maybe spent time with before or friends who i’ve known for a long time it’s a good way to reconnect with them and then also now it’s a cool community building thing where i get to play with a lot of people from around the world and enjoy my time both playing with them and then also making content that hopefully they enjoy kind of make their day a little bit better.

What do you do in your spare time

Most of my spare time is i don't really have a lot of spare time right now most of my life is dedicated to creating videos or streaming or working on the behind the scenes business part of running like a media company i do play occasionally guitar hero and kind of get out and try to take walks and stuff like that get out and get some exercise but a lot of my day is related to working.

Why did you start playing destiny as one of your main games

I’ve been playing destiny since it first started back in like 2014 and it just drew i really liked the game because i came from playing halo when i was younger and i really enjoyed that and i also

Was interested in sort of like the deeper elements of the game where i was trying to kind of make it into more of like an rpg or mmo game which i hadn't played a whole lot of those at the time but that was of an interesting idea to make an fps game sort of try to take on some characteristics of those other types of games so it's just a fun thing to get into and then i it's been a really fun game throughout the last seven years there's a lot to do at all times and i thought for content it was a really good game to cover because there's so many different to be talking about at any given time.

Do you think destiny pvp at the state is good?

I think that overall is okay right now i think that there it’s there’s been times where i preferred it but i think the recent patch that just come out is helping a lot with rebalancing some things and im hoping that if they continue balancing things to make it less ability centric and more gunplay focused that it will continue to get better over time but i wouldn't say it’s like the worst time every but i don't think it's also the best ever so hopefully the continue to improve it.

Some people think you are their savior/ Useful to them What do you think?

That i'm the savior to them

Yeah your videos about mental health

Oh i don't know about that i mean i like when people tell me that my videos are helpful to them whether that’s like personally or just helps them feel better at the game or just something that they enjoy watching so that makes me feel good uh you know i dont think im anything special i just try to make good content and people seem to enjoy it.

Do you plan on playing any other games

Uh yeah i'm actually working right now on a new channel that covers the new battlefield franchise so i've just been starting that it’s been really fun and then i play a number of other games so i don't really cover content wise i just play for fun

Do you play any other games in your spare time

Yeah i play a lot of different ones from time to time like apex legend uh counter strike

Valorant sometimes i play rpg or mmo games and stuff like elder scrolls online world of warcraft but not as much these days i don't really have that much time for those kind of games because there very involved usually i like things like apex where i could just hop on and like play one or two games and i don't have time to like catch up with all the right gear and stuff you just everyone’s always at the same playing field.

Are you gonna change your youtube channel theme or keep your current theme

reviewing/gaming

I don't know that i will be ever be like a full review channel but probably review will become part of my channel as new things come out for example you know when the new battlefield game comes out i will definitely be reviewing how that plays but i don't see myself as a type of channel

That just goes and reviews a whole bunch of games probably not really for me.
