Here’s this week’s quick-fire intro to thefunkobeard:
Name
thefunkobeard
Identity & Pronouns
[He/Him] Latine Gay Cisman
What kind of games do you primarily stream?
RPG, Shooters, Indie, Horror, Action/Adventure
What specific games can your audience expect to see when you stream?
Dead by Daylight and Marvel Rivals with other scary games sprinkled in the mix.
What’s the most memorable moment you’ve had on stream?
There has been so many, but I think hosting a National Coming Out Day panel on my channel and having various members of the 2SLGBTQIA* community speaking about their coming out process and life after coming out so those who are out could feel seen and those who weren’t, knew they still mattered. I want people to be who they are while in my chat.
What is your favorite game of all time and why?
Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite game. The story, the combo mechanics, and in game actions being part of the storytelling was really ahead of its time. Love this game so much!
If you could collaborate with any other streamer, who would it be and why?
I have been so lucky to have been able to collab with so many amazing streamers week to week since I host a Dead by Daylight survivor challenge with my cohost @lildoodyanaa and the fact we get people who want to join and play DbD with us EVERY week has been amazing!
How would you describe your streaming style in three words?
Welcoming, fun, and shady, of course!
What is your streaming schedule?
Sun-Wed 8pm PST AND Saturdays 12pm PST
Anything else you want to say?
I am a nerdy geeky latine gaymer bear who enjoys playing horror and superhero games. I love community and bringing people together. I love to joke around, throw some shade, and read people to filth (with love of course) but also hold a space where people within the 2SLGBTQIA+ community can be their authentic selves when in my chat. I didn’t have space like that growing up so I want to make sure to provide that to others who need it.
