Annual Streamathon
Starts Saturday, September 5th 2025
Basically, I will be streaming every waking moment until the stream timer runs out. Many things will add to the timer. Last year we hit a channel record of 195 straight days!
Kickoff Celebration
To celebrate the start, there will be a few special things happening. [TBD - Details coming soon!]

[TBD]
I’m probably forgetting a ton that I will add to these lists later.
Wait, will you sleep on stream?
The first year, we talked about this, but decided against it for two reasons. Firstly, it felt kind of weird for people to pay for more content and that content is just laying there, lol. Second, it seemed a bit of a cop-out to get through the timer. If I can just sleep nine hours away, having a huge timer is much easier to get through.
Some people last year were like ‘THAT’S NOT A REAL SUBATHON!’. Well, alert the subathon police or whatever because that’s how we do it here (and how many do it). In fact, any time the timer is 'paused' (sleeping, etc) you can still add time to it (even if the stream is offline).
Daughter Appointments
My daughter still has her weekly appointments. I will take her to those and return to the stream as soon as I am back home. The timer will not run down during this time, but time can still be added to it while I am away.
Will there be REAL marbles this year?
Of course. I abstain from watching the marble league all year so we can catch up during breakfast.
Will this be on YouTube also?
Most of it, though some cannot be. Any gaming segment that is longer than an hour or two will be on YouTube. Breakfast, dinner, marble-watching, behind the scene streams, etc., likely will not be.
What is Twitch doing for Subtember this year?
