Annual Streamathon

The Annual Streamathon starts on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th 2025!

To celebrate the start, there will be a few special things happening.

  • We will be on the front page of Twitch from 11am to 3pm!
  • In addition to normal Subtember discounts, my channel will have a special deal this Saturday and Sunday – 35% off gift subs (there will be a banner on the channel while this is active)

What is the Streamathon?

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 49 straight days!

What all adds time to the timer, and how much?

Subs / Resubs / Gift Subs
Tier 1 = 3 mins
Tier 2 = 6 mins
Tier 3 = 15 mins

100 Bits = 1 min
$1 = 1 min

These are automatically calculated, so you do not need to give 100 bits at a time for five entries to add 5 minutes. A single 500 bit donation will add the five minutes.

I will also be adding time manually for the following as they are not automatically tracked with the addon:

  • YouTube Memberships (new, re-upped, and gifted)
  • YouTube Superchats (same rate as Twitch)
  • Shirt Purchases (available soon!)
  • Gamersupps Purchase w/ my code (still looking in to how to do this one correctly, so may not be ready in time)
  • New Patrons/Members (same as Gamersupps info above)

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).

Some unfortunate news

Unfortunately, the mouth surgery stuff is not fully finished and my followup will have to be done during the event. On that day I will stream until I have to leave, go to appointment, and get right back on when I get home. The timer will not tick down while I am at any of these mandatory medical appointments.

In addition, my daughter has a weekly appointment on Tuesday afternoons. I am the only one in the family that can drive. I’ll have to take her to those, but will be right back on.

I feel bad about those, but not much I can do about it. I may leave stream running while I am gone and just not count it against the timer or something. We’ll see.

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.

What is Twitch itself doing for Subtember this year?

Recurring Subscription Discounts are available all month. SUBtember starts Friday August 29, 2025 at 10AM PT through Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 at 10AM PT.

  • 25% off 1-month subscriptions
  • 25% off 3-month subscriptions
  • 30% off 6-month subscriptions

In addition, from 26th, 2025 at 10AM PT to October 1st, 2025 at 10AM PT Twitch will be gifting out additional subs for every 5+ gift sub bundle in the channel. Last year we hit 50+ many times, it was pretty insane!

If you have any additional questions or think I forgot anything just tag me and let me know in the #general channel!

TLDR

Streamathon starts this Saturday! Streaming every waking moment possible until timer is over! Anything that financially supports the channel adds to the timer. Will be playing tons of stuff. Sub discounts all month long with bigger discounts this weekend and the last days of September.
