As someone who has listened to and loved Kamelot for 20 years, this was amazing.

An important announcement from "corporate". Thank you for the two years of Twitch! 🩷

Hi,
For the last two years and some change, you all have come to know me as Oriardy. You have laughed with me, cried with me, celebrated milestones, victories, and been devastated by defeats. While your pink-haired brunny from space may be fictional, I am not. The kindness and support you all have given me over these two years was not either. It truly sustained me through some of the most turbulent years I've had in my adult life, and I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

If you ever watched my stream, shared my art, enjoyed my essays, thank you. You all have given me strength and led me to the simple realization that I can make things other people will find joy in. As a creative, this is truly one of my life's biggest goals. Thank you for helping me see that I am capable.

It is time now to close this creative chapter. I am retiring Oriardy from Twitch as of today.

Ori will still be active in the spaces you know him, but I will not be streaming as Ori anymore. Video essays on Pilot Episode will continue in-character, so you will still get to see him, and he will get to see you. And his VODs, clips, etc. will remain as-is so they can be viewed in the future.

This is not a chapter being erased retroactively.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I never imagined the passion my creations could inspire. Ori's streaming journey may be ending, but his story is far from over. It is my hope that one day you'll get to read how it ends.

— M

TL;DR: I'm taking a hiatus from streaming on Twitch due to the updates to the AI training policy. I will instead be focusing my efforts on updating our Patreon and releasing more video essays for the Pilot Episode YouTube channel.

Hi Station Nation:

I'm at the podium tonight with news that I didn't really want to deliver, but given a more thorough look over Twitch's Privacy Policy and Amazon's Generative AI Disclosure Policy, I've determined that I would prefer to completely opt-out of training data entirely. It feels, to me, that the option to 'opt-out' is cosmetic and that Twitch has been collecting the content of my videos and streams for awhile to use as training data. This includes personal stories shared, original creative works, etc. The button is an appeasement given to squash backlash, but there's no telling how long collection and training has actually been occurring.

As an artist this is deeply disturbing and feels like a personal violation. So I've come to a crossroads where I must decide whether or not

I swallow this bitter pill, knowing that my creative works have been harvested and fed into the machine and continue streaming, or step back completely to refuse feeding any more of my work into it. At this point, I haven't made a choice and need more information to make one that is more permanent.

In the meantime, I will be going on hiatus from streaming while I wait for more news and to deliberate my next move. At this time, my intention is to dedicate my typical stream time to producing more high-quality video essays for Pilot Episode—as that channel has been opted out of AI data training sets since its inception.

You guys know my stance on Gen-AI and LLMs. While our works are underfire as creators, we must decide where we draw the line. This is where I draw mine. Sharing my creative works

and passion projects with you all has been a blessing and this knowledge does not change that fact. However, I must take steps to protect my original property, and at the same time, want to do my part in protecting the art of other artists.

I will still be active and present in our community, as this space has grown beyond livestreams on Twitch. You can expect more frequent updates from me on our Patreon (free to become a member, btw) and videos uploaded more regularly

Thank you guys for your understanding. ♡

Nobody is putting a gun to my head to make me draw all of his lace but I'm doing it anyway for some reason. Shapes are blocked... I just don't want to detail it. 😭 I also JUST noticed how long I made his neck... Oops but I kind of like it though.
