I'm an Aussie streamer known on most platforms as mantiswhoprays, but you can call me mantis.
I grew up playing games on SNES, N64, PS2, Xbox 360, and PC. See my setup panel for more information on my current setup.
For the most part, you'll catch me playing RPGs, platformers, puzzle games, horror games, and occasionally co-op with friends.
Streaming has given me the opportunity to play a lot of games that I didn't get the chance to play growing up, which has been a lot of fun. Let me know what you think I should play!
Some of my favourite games include Banjo Kazooie, Braid, Labyrinthine, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and PlateUp! I also have an unhealthy obsession with Merge Mansion on mobile.
I've been on Twitch since late-2016, and first streamed on April 1, 2024. Affiliate since April 27, 2024.
You will be welcomed into a community that is incredibly diverse, and very warm and welcoming, so I hope you'll stop by and chat with us.
See you in stream!!
I keep my schedule tab as up-to-date as possible and all times are localised, so you can see when my next stream will be.
