Her overall message for people who join the channel is for everyone to know that it’s worth being alive.

DeadFlip
This Pinball loving streamer has some of the most entertaining streams as he shows off some unique games. He specializes in “physical” games that ranges from some rare antiques to contemporary machines.

When asked about what he enjoys most about being a streamer, DeadFlip states, “When viewers contact me privately and tell me how I've improved their game, got them back into a hobby they shared with their parents back in the day, or just give them a show that allows them to laugh and shut out the world for a while, I can’t help but beam!” Click here to visit his Twitch page!
Deere
Just in time for Halloween, Deere is here to stream the spookiest of horror video games in drag excellent. As the first Drag Queen partnered with Twitch, Deere’s goal is to give players chill vibes juxtaposed with suspenseful video games.

GabySpartz
Viewers will primarily see Magic: The Gathering Arena with some fun and useful commentary as games progress. It is always great seeing Trading Card Game (TCG) streamers who are both composed and informative about the action happening on the board, which is particularly useful since Magic can be far more involved than more simplistic games like Hearthstone.
Gaby strives to create a welcoming environment for people to come and relax. When asked what she hopes that players take away from her channel, she says, “I want viewers to feel that our community on Twitch is a place for love and acceptance. It makes my day when people pop in just to say a quick hello, and I want them to leave with the same feeling.” Click here to visit her Twitch page!
Lil_Lexi
First Person Shooter (FPS) games are Lil_Lexi’s specialty, with a majority of her time spent in Rainbow Six Siege or PUBG. Every so often she takes a break with a broad range of games like World of Warcraft, Auto Chess, The Last of Us, and more.
Like many of the Twitch Ambasadors, Lil_Lexi hopes that viewers come take away from her a channel a sense that it’s always best to be yourself, confidence in who you are, and not worry about the opinions of others weighing you down. Perhaps best of all, everyone in the chat loves Dad jokes. What’s not to love? Click here to visit her Twitch page!
MissDoitBig

TheSushiDragon
Here is another streamer bound only by his imagination thanks to the power of greenscreens. He describes his setup as having 16 screens and 12 webcams, all to bring imagination to life on his stream. His community is a bit different than those that focus on video games, instead focusing on fantasy and reality together, enjoying the highs in life and losing ourselves through dance and music.
