Hi!
First of all, thanks to the mods for giving me permission to promote this!
One year ago, to the day, my little sister ended her life after well over a decade of fighting against her mental health, at the age of 26. Over ten years of going in and out of psychiatric care, with multiple suicide attempts per year and regular self harm and eventually also developing anorexia eventually became too much to bear.
We've seen a lot of the psychiatric care system here in Sweden, both the good and the bad. And around the world mental health is a growing problem. The trend is pointing the wrong way in most places, specifically among kids, teens and young adults.
Because of this, I feel I want to do something for the cause of Mental Health as well as something therapeutic for myself, which streaming is for me.
So to honor my sister's memory and do something for the cause, I've decided to hold a 12 hour long live stream with Strategy games.
This Saturday, February 26th, starting at 12:00 CEST and going until at least 23:59, I'll be streaming a bunch of great strategy games over on my YouTube channel; https://youtu.be/72I-1TDFlBo
During this stream I hope to raise some money for the Tim Bergling Foundation, founded by late artist Avicii's parents, in his memory. They fund mental health support organizations and research globally and their funding for example allows the Swedish support hotline for kids and young adults by BRIS (Children's Rights in Society) to be open 24/7.
During the stream I'll be playing;
- 12:00-13:45 Humankind
- 14:00-15:45 Stellaris
- 16:00-17:45 Europa Universalis 4
- 18:00-19:45 Anno 1800
- 20:00-21:45 Heroes of Might and Magic 3
- 22:00-23:00 Hundred Days: Winemaking Simulator (and for this, I'll break out a bottle of wine)
- 23:00-00:00 Dorfromantik
And given away to viewers will be;
- 5 copies of Hundred Days for Google Stadia donated by the developer Broken Arms Games
- 1 copy of Anno 1800 Complete Edition for Ubisoft Connect donated by Ubisoft
- 5 copies of Humankind for Steam donated by Amplitude
- 1 copy of Imperator Rome for Steam
- 1 copy of Surviving Mars Humble Bundle (base game and 9 DLCs) for Steam
- 2 copies of Stellaris for GOG
- 1 copy of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for GOG
On the donation milestones 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 750 and 1000 USD, I've pledged to eat Last Dab Reaper Edition hot sauce, much to my stomach's disapproval. Donations are handled through Tiltify; https://tiltify.com/@dadplaysgames/strategy-for-charity
