Wow this was quite the interesting read and you have made some pretty amazing accomplishments. Being an Asian individual who grew up in the United States I can somehow relate to some of your experiences. Especially since most of my life I've spent in the trading card realm. You may want to consider networking with some of the booths and attend physical YCS once they resume that are near Germany as I used to do a good amount of business with individuals there. Networking can help you build better ties with the community and ecosystem there and you maybe even to get a paid gig through one of the booths to cosplay to attract customers/followers.
I also agree that dreamcast was one of the best systems to be made too bad the release of it was outshined by playstation and xbox of that era. I still recall my friends and I spending countless of hours playing powerstone, worms armageddon, and marvel vs capcom for endless hours. Not to mention their innovation for the little memory card.
Well one way through this platform as I'm sure you're well aware of is to engage in some of the communities on hive through discord. 1up and !PIZZA are a pretty good one for gaming content and may be able to help you promote. Also just navigating through hive can be extremely exhausting but there is an amazing group of people at The Terminal who are extremely selfless and can help guide your way through this experience.
I'm rather active on splinterlands and am new to it as I'm only a little over a month in but have reached champion 3 also in mtga i've reached mythic multiple times in constructed and limited play as well as qualified for nationals in yugioh so if you ever need any help feel free to reach out.
thanks man. I think the experience at Yugioh world championship 2019 in Berlin is enough for me to quit the game. lmao but nevertheless i kept going since the game and community was cool. But when you know that the game in itself will come to an end, so why not find closure and look for something new and fun. :) also I don't mind leaving behind all achievement to test something new. Otherwise I wouldn't be here on hive. I would stick to youtube and clinge to twitch like the other creators do. I'm pretty sure there are more creators out there who heard of hive, but just don't want to swap from established platforms cause they know the carry over rate of followers/fans is literally 0.
Dreamcast will be forever in my memory :/
Splinterlands here we go. lmao :D
Haha good luck. Since you seem to enjoy testing platforms maybe look into something called theta.tv (it is sort of like a crypto version of youtube) and 3speak is a good way on here to also cross-promote and establish a brand especially if you have a following.
Man... seeing you put it as "why not find closure" makes me really think and consider selling out of my irl card collections, but I guess since I've been involved almost 20 years now from childhood letting go almost feels like letting go a deep and integral part of myself.
Those that are willing and able to change will be left behind as shifting of attention becomes more and more apparent not saying that it will happen to either youtube or twitch, but yahoo taught us that by not adapting with society while google was forming up. (Same as with xanga, myspace, and then facebook)
