Hey if you stream on YouTube - or know someone who does - please reach out. I'd love to set you up on our PRO plan so you can test out all of our amazing features. After years of being Twtich-only, we've FINALLY launched for YouTube! Come and experience the fun.

In 2022 I held a charity stream supporting Bondi2Berry and dementia research. We raised $3k AUD. Two years ago our first #StreamToRemember raised $11k and last year we hit $14k! If you stream on #Twitch, come and help us smash that this year? Nov 14-17. streamtoremember.com/signup25

Folks! I have to listen to my tired old bones and not stream again today. BUT I'm speedrunning with the absolutely wonderful @frilioth.bsky.social in two days, raising money for @alzheimersresearchuk.org. We'll be LOCKED IN, which means we'll be awful, but having a lot of fun! See you there?

It begins. I'm losing my voice, so it won't be a huge stream, but let's spend some time together. Happy Pride Month everyone! 🌈💜 twitch.tv/richardthornton

Join us this time tomorrow as our corner of Twitch celebrates #PrideMonth. It's not lost on me how privileged I am as a cis white man and that I will never face what so many in the LGBTQIA+ community do just to exist. My heart, arms, eyes and ears are open. Hope to see you there.

I can't stream, but I CAN smash through some editing! Could it be a THIRD Border Hoarder episode in a week? You bet. I'm tired of hunting creepers, so I built a music disc farm, then hunted for some elusive flora instead. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAqu...

I have been belted by a virus and then pneumonia over the last few weeks. Doc told me to get actual rest, so I'm going to have to cancel this steam again I'm sorry. I'm really missing hanging out with you all. Loving my Border Hoarder series but chat is where it's at. ❤️

After all of the effort I put into finding the rarest block in Minecraft, the way it happens has to be the most unsatisfying! 🙃 Lots happening in this ep of Boarder Hoarder - we're really closing in on completion now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=191f...

And here it is. The long lost episode 10 of Border Hoarder! This is one of eps where everything falls apart so quickly... I find the stronghold and kill the big black bird with ease, but then trigger a hilarious series of stupid mistakes. Enjoy this one! youtu.be/ROYrEf2GmQE

Well, having been sick for a couple of weeks, I finally went to the doctor and I have some sort of pneumonia going on. Off for more tests. Sadly I'm going to have to skip this stream. Hope everyone at TwitchCon Rotterdam has a ball and you all have a great weekend wherever you are!

One of my favourite parts of streaming is when things go wrong. When I opened my Border Hoarder #Minecraft world on stream over the weekend it was borked. Chat was amazing, immediately researching the issue and suggesting fixes. I'm so grateful for the diversity of our community!

It's Saturday Night. Live from Melbourne! Is this a bonus stream? A catch-up stream? Who knows?! But let's see if we can find ourselves a big black bird in #Minecraft Border Hoarder. Going live now: twitch.tv/richardthornton

This might just be the most I have achieved in a single Minecraft episode... Villager breeder, auto carrot farm, mini trading hall and an iron farm! Not much border movement, but silk touch has been acquired!!! Oh and there's some fun music in this one. youtu.be/JXgu490UhKs
