Speaker 1:

Welcome. Welcome back to another episode of uploaded and unfiltered the podcast in which I, your host Jermaine, interviews another content creator in regards to their journey thus far. Tonight, as always, I have a special guest and after I read their bio, I'm going to introduce him and get them started on his conversation. Ronan on the Sticks is a US Navy veteran and variety streamer based out of Charlotte, north Carolina. He enjoys nice walks to Wingstop in his spare time, 80s baby and been a fan of the gaming space and anime since before. He was cool. Happy to be here and with that, without further ado, I'd like to introduce my guest for the podcast, the one, the only, ronan on the sticks. Aka ronan, how you doing? Welcome to the stream what's going on?

Speaker 2:

everybody running on the sticks eight times out of ten.

Speaker 1:

Your favorite running on twitch before we get any further, how many ronans are on twitch?

Speaker 2:

you know, I've never really counted, okay, um, I can't. I came in on a very humble tip and I was like there's probably a billion Ronans out there, but if you come across me eight times out of 10, I'm probably your favorite.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, Exactly. I like that. I like that. Well, I want to first and foremost thank you for doing a podcast with me. I appreciate it. Of course.

Speaker 2:

Thanks for having me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, no doubt I've been looking forward to this conversation for a while, so let me go ahead and start it off, like I always do. How did you get started in content creation? What was the origin story of Ronan?

Speaker 2:

So boom, it's not really, it's not really super, it's actually kind of crazy.

Speaker 1:

OK.

Speaker 2:

OK, Of course, let's say the year. I'm going to guess 2014, 2015. Right, that's when I discovered Twitch and you know, I'm just a simple guy on my PlayStation 4 and saw this thing called Twitch and I was like, well, what's that? You know, clicked on it and saw people going live and streaming their gameplay. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I watched a couple of streams and I said I'm better than them.

Speaker 2:

No-transcript concerned you know, and it's just, it's crazy, see, I started from playing on ps4, streaming on ps4 to eventually getting a pc set up and you know like, so yeah, like humble beginnings kind of do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all right bet. So you just straight saw Twitch on the PlayStation was like you know what, let me check this out. And that confident kicked in and you're like I could be, I'm better than this. I love that. Yo, that's awesome that you have such a humble beginning. But now I'm to throw in the trick question Where'd the name come from?

Speaker 2:

Ronin on a 6?.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

For the longest time. Anybody who knows me knows I've been a weeb for the longest right. Yeah, my original Xbox 360 gamer tag was Soul of a Samurai, og gamer tag and then I changed it to somewhere down the line. I changed it to, I think, restless Ronin or something along those lines. Gotcha and Ronin just kind of stuck. So everybody in our gaming circle started calling me Ronin. So I was like cool, you know, and you know when you're gaming circle, like you might know somebody's actual name, right, but you know you call them by their tag first, exactly. So I was running. So I was like you know what, if I'm gonna stream on twitch, what's my name gonna be? Well, I'm always, you know, on the game, you know around the way it's like, hey, you get on the six tonight. You know you win the game. So I'm like running on the sticks and I'm like it's catchy, like you know, brand name, that's perfect.

Speaker 1:

I love that, hell. Yeah, nice, simple, easy to get, easy to remember, perfect. All right, man, we're gonna go ahead and jump into our second section of the cast. This is where I ask my guests the current mindset in regards to their content right now. So, ronan, what are your thoughts on not only your content, but what you see yourself doing like six months to a year?

Speaker 2:

from now. It's always been a fun thing for me. Yes, I've always kind of prioritized my fun over kind of, I guess, public recognition. You know I'm very much a. I would rather have 10, 15 people active in the chat, coking, joking, laughing with me, than have a stream of two, three, four, 500 people and nobody's talking. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

So, that's probably been of them. That's probably been one of my pitfalls as well as a content creator, I've more so prioritized like having fun than I have actually like growing a brand. Now, of course, if I, if I come into content creation with a completely different mindset, I would have, you know, came in and made sure I checked all the right boxes and, you know, made myself. But I've always kind of prioritized, you know myself, but I've always kind of prioritizing on me having fun. So, as of right now, I've kind of sort of started slowed down with streaming, but I'm looking to pick back up so I'm dabbling into, you know, um, I guess, growing within certain niches.

Speaker 2:

You know, because when I, the way I look at it, when I look at like bigger streamers, they usually got big, not doing variety streaming, but off of one game. You know for, you know your, you know your, you know your ninjas got big on Fortnite, that's, that was his game. You know I watch Overwatch, content creators and everything they do is Overwatch. If they do something on another game, it's on the side, but you're still getting Overwatch. So, and this is, you know, this is just me outside looking in but content creation, as far as variety is fun, but you don't actually start growing until you specialize in one niche, and then you pull everybody in, and then they, those people, are already along from the ride after exactly exactly.

Speaker 1:

You nailed it, I think. When I I too am a variety streamer and there are you definitely see those spikes when you hit a game like bloodborne 2. For me, not only did that teach me that I like those type of games, but it taught me the power of having a game like bloodborne 2 for me, not only did that teach me that I like those type of games, but it taught me the power of having a game that everybody enjoys watching, because my numbers for that game were nuts and I was like what is going on?

Speaker 2:

exactly exactly because it's. That's exactly what it is, because I I kind of did the same thing. I came in a bloodborne late. I was. I was very much an anti-souls born person, but but it was. It was all off of reputation. I didn't like the reputation that I had. I didn't like the people who right, you know whatever. Once I played them by sales, I loved them you know, but there are people who only watch souls born content.

Speaker 2:

So again, when I streamed bloodborne, there were people in my chat, you know, and of course I put first playthrough in there. So of course all the vets want to show up in. Oh yeah, you know, not necessarily backseat, but they want to watch somebody overcome exactly the first time you know that adrenaline rush.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, so you, I figured, with twitch there's usually two people, like there's usually two kinds of people. There are people that are there for that specific game and then there are the people that will watch you regardless yes you could. You could be, you know, watching nothing on youtube or whatever, whatever, and they'll be there. But then there are people that show up to see that specific game and as soon as you stray off of that game, they're not there anymore right and I think that specific fact people need like, especially new streamers.

Speaker 1:

You got to know that because those numbers will dip and it's not necessarily, it's not you, it's the, it's that's the type of person there and they're oh, you ain't playing this game. I'm gonna go to the next person playing this same exact game.

Speaker 2:

You're chasing that high. I want somebody else beat this boss for the first time like I did.

Speaker 1:

You know so man, you know what I didn't mean to go down this route, but the thing you said about the reputation of the players of those dark soul s games.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I was the same boat. I would see how they react and how like those dark soul as games yeah, I was in the same boat. I would see how they would react and how like unruly they were. But like I was like I want to be associated with that, so that game must be trash right. And once I started playing it, like I got to put my spin on that community because I'm not like them, like I'm me, and so while I was playing it, I was giving it my flavor and that added to the other people coming in. They're like oh, this dude is hilarious and he's playing one of my favorite games and that's how you get people to stay. And I think you do the same shit because you started playing Moringa, right.

Speaker 2:

I started playing. What now?

Speaker 1:

You started playing like all the Blood, like Dark Souls games.

Speaker 2:

So I'm going to let you know where I started Again. Very much anti-Souls, born based off a reputation of all get good. You know all the stuff you hear on the internet, right Sekiro, sekiro, shadows, die Christ, and, of course, me being a weeb, I was like I'm going to beat this game, no matter what, because I know I can, I know I'm capable. So I started the game and I'm like, oh, this is tough but it's fun. I'm having fun Played through Sekiro, beat it. And I'm like, okay, you know, beat it twice, did New Game Plus and did the separate endings.

Speaker 1:

Okay so.

Speaker 2:

I liked it. So after that I went to Dark Souls 3. And then I started getting into that and getting into and, like you said, you put your own spin on it, because it's a build you can put in Dark Souls 3 right now on Twitch and probably find upwards to a thousand people watching it.

Speaker 1:

Easy.

Speaker 2:

Be it and probably find upwards to a thousand people watching it easy, you know, be it new runs, challenge runs, whatever, but you know you put your own spin on you, put your own humor on it. You know you, you might introduce it to somebody in your you know, in your group and right who watch you and they, well, maybe I'll try it too. Exactly you, just you just kind of roll, and you know you overcome. One of the things I do specifically with those souls born games is, I think, out loud, you know I okay, okay, okay, I see this attack coming. You know, count it out one, two, three, roll one, two, three.

Speaker 2:

So you know people who are watching are watching my processing as I'm doing it yeah so, and as a streamer, and of course you know as a streamer let's say you're playing apex. Right, complete, complete, game jump.

Speaker 1:

Let's say you're playing apex which I do when you're you know. Yeah, and that's exactly what I'm using.

Speaker 2:

I know you're an Apex guy when you lock into a gunfight and your hands got that little sweat on them. You're locked in, you're not talking, you're not, you know whatever. But the more you play, the more comfortable you get. You can narrate as you're doing it. You know I, I see where you're going. He's cutting to the left, I'm gonna cut here, bam knock, you know. And then you're, you know whatever. And you know your chat. Your chat knows where your head is yes, it's very cool you just named.

Speaker 1:

one of my most enjoyable things to not only like witness but also do myself is when you're playing a game especially I've been doing in tech and a lot because that game goddamn anyway, anyway. So, like you telegraph, you're like I'm about to do this, this and this and that shit comes off. Your chat goes nuts. You're like yeah, I told you I was gonna do that. Like that's exactly the carbon playing this game for a while. I love those moments and I think that is a unique aspect of streaming that I don't think you can't get that in like a YouTube video or a tick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's something you got to catch. Live the energy is live. So yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad to hear that you are jumping back into streaming Because, like you said, your streams are very they're you like. There's personality you get to figure out, you get to hear what you're thinking and, in turn, other people are learning some of the games they probably don't play. And so, like, I'm glad you're coming back.

Speaker 2:

Of course I look, I'm, I'm happy to be back. You know, sometimes, you know life, life's a little bit, yes, and it's a billion games out and I'm playing, playing things all across from different platforms right, but I. I stream on my pc primarily. Now, like I said, I went from ps4 console streamer to playing on pc and, you know, final fantasy rebirth is out, rising the ron is out, stuff is all over the place. So I'm, you know, kind of bouncing forth, you know, figuring out what I want to play.

Speaker 1:

Gotcha, gotcha Cool. Alright, man, let's jump into the lessons learned section of the podcast. Boy, oh boy. What is a lesson that you've learned? Because you started creating content and I can't even imagine where this is going, because we've been doing this for a while and I feel like the older you are I'm not saying you old, but you're older.

Speaker 2:

I'll tell you I'm old and and I and I always say it, especially people like oh, ronan, you're not old. And you know, for the people who don't know me, I'm 39. I turned 39 this year in march, right, oh yeah, and I'm like in this gaming space. Yeah, I am old. Yes, like you know, like like I acknowledge that I'm not saying you know I'm, you know, hobbling around on a cane Right right.

Speaker 2:

But in the space of content creation, a lot of the people that you're watching are younger. They're, you know, my first gaming PC. You know they're mid-20s. They're staying at home with mom and dad. They're, like they can, a hundred percent of their energy on this right. You know, as a father, you know, as you know somebody who you know has an active job, who tries to maintain some semblance of a social life.

Speaker 2:

It's like, okay, I have three or four hours to stream and then you have to be in the mood to stream, you have to be in the mood to entertain, because sometimes you just want to sit in a dark room and you want to play a game by yourself. It's 100, you know. And in that regard, like you know, one of the main things as far as lessons learned save time for you. Save time for you, because I know one thing I kind of struggle with is I have XYZ game and I really want to play this on stream, but I want to also kind of play it myself. Save a game for you. I'm going to play this game. Save a game that you're not going to play on stream. You're going to play it off stream and you can just immerse and enjoy it. Everything does not have to be content, and I'm going to say that one more time just in case anybody missed it. Everything does not have to be content. Save space for you as a person. You will thank yourself in the long run.

Speaker 1:

Yo, you just made the clip for the show. Thank you, Appreciate that. I'm going to go ahead and hit the highlight button. Remember yeah, I agree, man Once I figured out which sounds dumb in hindsight, but once I figured out that I could play a game off stream. Yeah, bro, Like what did I play off stream? Oh, I start. Oh, God of War.

Speaker 2:

This is the last one that just came out might.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I could play this on stream, but nah, I didn't merge. I put my little 3d headphones on. Oh my god, it was great yes, and that's it's.

Speaker 2:

It's the same I played on last year. I finally played the dead space remake right huge fan of dead space.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, huge fan of dead space but I streamed through it. And one thing and of course I played through the game so I knew more or less the jump scares that were coming right, yeah, but when I but when I tell you it was a completely different vibe playing it on stream, narrating for the chat, whatever, whatever Scary stuff would happen but I still wouldn't flinch. But I went back for New Game Plus, off stream, all the lights off, and I was like this is like a different vibe. I'm not talking to anybody, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I really feel like I'm by myself right now, so yeah, Speaker 2.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 3 no man, fuck that I'm not. I played the first dead space, my long story short. My homie used to work at EA so he got me the game for free when it first came out the original and I kept that game for a year and a half before I played. But I did and the game's amazing and it's terrible. I played it on normal and I was jumping like a little. So it is what it is. I know I'm hard. Games are tough, man. Man. I haven't played one. So I I owe my community a horror game.

Speaker 2:

I gotta look into see what's out there. But um, hey, I got. I got a couple options for you, man, I don't know if they're gonna try to do you dirty they?

Speaker 1:

yes, they will. All right, ronan, we have landed on the section of the podcast where we're going to drop some information, some advice for some people out there. If you had to share some advice for those out there creating content or starting, what type of advice would you give them?

Speaker 2:

As far as somebody that's starting go in with. Try to go in with a game plan. Of course, fun is always going to be at the aspect of, because if you're not fun, if you're not having fun, it's going to reflect on your work, it's going to reflect on your clips, it's going to reflect on everything you're going to try to put out to social media. Try to go in with a plan and, like I said, that's something I didn't do as a variety streamer. I just, you know, I play what I want One next day, you know. So, as a try to find at least a niche you want to stick in before you do it, you know, and one of the great things you can do, do research into your niche.

Speaker 2:

You know, if you're going to be a fortnight player, watch other fortnight streamers. What are they doing, you know what are they, you know what do they bring to the table, what can you do and it's not an emulation thing, you're're not doing it to copy them, but you're going to see what are they, what are they not doing that I can improve on. What are they not doing that I can, you know, lock in on so that when you go live, you have a game plan set, you know, and a lot of people also get into their head. Well, I can't stream X Y Z game because, I'm not cracked, you know I'm not.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going and dropping 4K damage. You know 20 kills on Apex, so why would I even bother streaming? It's not about that, it's not. You can be an Apex streamer and not be the best Apex streamer out, but you know you can get on there, you can have fun and people, if nothing else, they like to watch the progression, they like to watch you. Start at the bottom and work your way up and if something feels good about somebody in your chat who's been watching you from day one and they say I see how much better you're getting, because you might not see it yourself, and anybody who plays first person shooter games knows what skills based matchmaking is.

Speaker 2:

So the way skill based matchmaking is set up is that they keep putting you against better people, so you never feel like you're improving, but the whole time like your league's better than you were a couple of months ago yeah, you know and chat sees that they were like I've seen you miss a whole clip, but now you're hitting your shots.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, oh yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like you know I'm saying like it locks you in kind of deal. So, um, that's one word of advice, you know, um in that regard. Otherwise, that if you can't and I noticed um kind of in the twitch space some people have better luck making friends than others. Some, you know, and that's always a kind of, it can be murky water sometimes because, right, you can never tell anybody is. You know um intentions or anything like that, or so on and so forth. You you know so, and it's just that try to keep people around you that either want to see you grow or want to grow with you, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes.

Speaker 2:

Because it keeps you motivated. It truly does 100% Cause.

Speaker 1:

there's times where and I always shout out Poochie gang Jedi Vox.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know some of them folk gang. So, like anytime we going through it, there's a group chat and discord. We just type out what's going on and we group work that problem and because we're all content creators, we don't have to explain what uploading is, we don't have to stream with a stream, we don't explain all that shit, we just go to the problem. Exactly, exactly. That is dope man. I'm not shocked. You dropped a bunch of knowledge, but I truly appreciate it. Ronan, if the people want to check out your content, where should they find you at?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely Well, on Twitter, because I'm not calling it X.

Speaker 1:

Yeah right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, Twitter is Ronan OTS. I'm typically on there talking about what I'm playing, or you know, my latest is Dungeons and Dragons. I'm kind of locking it over there wait, hold on.

Speaker 1:

Are you playing Baldur's Gate or the real?

Speaker 2:

D&D. No, the real D&D now. Oh, baldur's Gate, kicked it off, man. Baldur's Gate. No, I played.

Speaker 1:

Baldur's.

Speaker 2:

Gate. I was like this is you know whatever, this is right up my alley this is up, my nerdy alley. So yeah started doing research, started, you know, buying guides and I actually just this past thursday I finished dming, my very first campaign that I wrote myself.

Speaker 1:

Ronan, what the hold on time out. Oh yeah, okay, hey, hey you and dnd b, you dgm a whole goddamn campaign, didn't you vote?

Speaker 2:

yourself. Oh yeah, I've always been. I've always been a writer, bro, and it's love this. I lost it at one point. My creativity just packed up and left. I was like, okay, this is what it is now. D&d really re-inspired it.

Speaker 1:

Oh my.

Speaker 2:

God, I'm back writing. I'm doing little short RPs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm not a fake nerd, I know, hey, yeah.

Speaker 1:

People might see my pictures and be like he don't really. I'm really like hey, I'm gonna be one of the first people to admit I didn't know how deep it went, like I knew I knew games, I knew anime, but now you get in there. I love that. Okay, again, this is what I'm talking about. What we need everybody's to start having conversation and, like you said, making friends, especially on the internet. It's a hard task Cause, again, you don't know what people are thinking, you don't know if they're being real, but when you do find those people, you lock in just like, all right, and they find other people and that's how you kind of grow the community.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, man, that's, that's crazy. There's a gang of people who I'll just speak for myself. I've been wanting to do D&D since like eight. Okay, and so what? Of course, when I was younger, I would let other people's opinions of me influence me, so D&D wasn't for us. So I was like, okay, I guess I'm not gonna play D&D. As I grew up, I started playing just Diablo, just other RPG games. As I grew up, I started playing just Diablo, just other RPG games. It did Baldur's Gate 3, man, we're going through our second playthrough right now. It's all bards. That game is so good. Now I'm ready to do if I got to do it online or whatever I want to do a real campaign Get with me.

Speaker 1:

What the hell Get with me.

Speaker 2:

I'm about to say Get with me, I can put a one shot together. I got a couple other people who are also you know, I kind of got them interested. From me. Always talking about it, I can put together a little one shot. You know when we can ride it out.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying we're gonna talk about, cause I got some ideas. Okay, okay, big bet, big bet, that's awesome. So okay, we got to wait. Did you shut out your socials? Oh well.

Speaker 2:

I started, I did. I'm always here for nerding out man, so I did x is ronin ots instagram right now. What is it um is ronin on the gram? I just recently rebranded it. Let me see tiktok. I'm old man. Like I said, I'm old. I don't know all my social top of my head, I think tiktok, I think. Tiktok is rolling on the sticks to double check. Rolling on the sticks on TikTok. I haven't posted a lot. I posted like two Dragon Dogs recently.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got to get back into content creation, but otherwise, like, yeah, you know, like I'm really in the gym a lot, now I'm in once I find a group that really, really, really wants to lock in. I would love to stream a D&D session. Everybody turn their cams on, you know. You know, shout out to Asmatic, as is like hey, if anybody wants their D&D character drawn, you know, reach out to me. So I'm like look, look, every, you know, get as the commission list going, get everybody's dnd character drawn if people are comfortable putting their cam on.

Speaker 2:

Cool, put your animated, you know dnd character on your thing and let's, let's, let's, role play, let's get it popping like yeah yeah, I'm cutting all of this.

Speaker 1:

This is nobody's hearing. This it's separate um. That was where my head was. I was like I've seen so many campaigns played on stream. I seen one there was, uh, people of color and I was like it was. It just looked fun as fuck and I was like I want to do that, but I, we'll talk, we'll talk, yeah yeah, absolutely, absolutely um, make sure you go follow the homie.

Speaker 1:

Um, awesome, as always, you can tell from this conversation very personable, has conversation for days and is always there for a good time. Ronan, bro, thank you for doing this. Appreciate it always. I know I said it before, but I'm going to say it as many times as I can thank you for doing this absolutely.

Speaker 2:

It's been my pleasure. Man you mind if I shout my people out real quick go ahead for sure really quick for the people listening. Shout out to the rest of the squad. Rest of the squad has been around since like 2014-15. Honestly, luna curativa is my ace buggy. She does all my uh.

Speaker 2:

You can usually hear her arguing with me in my chat yes but one of, definitely one of my closest, one of my best friends, um, she does like some of the art for my, uh, for my channel, things like that. Um, again, I already shouted out as um shout out to my dnd group um glow, tony sav sav always fusses at me too. You know, my, my community is just really like a big family, like you know what I'm saying we busted each other.

Speaker 2:

We praise each other's accomplishments. You know we uplift each other when everybody's having a bad day. That's why, you know, our group is very tightly knit so we don't let a lot of new people in per se, because once you find your found family, it's like you know, you kind of like no, these are my people. Leave my people alone.

Speaker 1:

Like you know what I'm saying hey, you know, yes, yes, I want to tell you something crazy. I feel like, let's, if we had to, like put a picture around this. I feel like you got a house of like the restless crew, right, and like we go over to each other's houses and we hang out and we're good, like that, but like we got a home base exactly. I feel like like that's how I am with the poochie gang, like that's home base, but we, we know yeah, you know we'll throw a cake back.

Speaker 2:

Somebody's grilling in the back, exactly exactly bring the tailor salad.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying yes, yes, shout out to the crew. And again, if you, my advice for everyone always is find a network of people that have your best interests at heart. Absolutely it is. I had to cut a lot of people out my life that either when I was I at first I was only going to be a streamer and they were like, oh, you can't do that, you can't make money. And I was like that's not helping, so I had to. I was like I gotta let him go. Yeah, you gotta see the vision, exactly. So don't be afraid.

Speaker 1:

I know and I I say that I do it all the time because I feel like if you're not aligned with me on that level, as far as my wants and and things that I want out of life, then you have no purpose in my life. Exactly, crazy. But for some people I know that's harder. But like, set up boundaries at the very least. But you don't gotta tell them oh, I just got 40 subscribers on YouTube. They're not gonna give a fuck. You gotta give that information to people who appreciate it. So that's it.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely Water. Water, you know what I'm saying. Water, your flowers, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2:

Don't wait to get people their flowers and water the flowers that stay close to you.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. Couldn't say it better myself. Whoa man, with that, I'm going to go ahead and shut the podcast down for the day. As always, if you haven't already subscribed, go ahead and do so. We are on YouTube, spotify, apple Music. The podcast is everywhere. I've watched my podcast on the TV. That shit was crazy. I was like right, Um. But with that, as always, protect your mental, keep creating content, and I will talk to y'all in the next one. Peace. Thank you for listening this deep into the podcast. I truly do appreciate it.
