Phia Recap 2024

Phia Recap 2024

2024... this year was full of surprises!
I feel like I've levelled up in a sense, I've been consistently growing and every day my goals feel closer!
So without further ado, it's time for Phia Recap 2: Electric Boogaloo!!

Thanks to you all keeping me motivated, this year I streamed 215 times, for a total of 650 hours!
All together, you watched 13K hours of my streams on Twitch, and 4K hours on Youtube!
I'm honored that you spent such a crazy amount of time watching me Make Funny!!
The most amount of views we had at once on Twitch was 129, and on Youtube we had 25K views overall!
Of course, you weren't only watching with 80K chat messages sent and 3 MILLION Channel Points used!

There were plenty of Clippable Moments this year, with 208 clips made by 25 unique clippers!
The top clip was this classic, which was added to the Phia Scream sound alert!

The top emotes this year were:

My army has grown every stronger, with 1,418 new followers on Twitch, and 415 new subscribers on YouTube!
In addition to that, you've all shown incredible love and support with 996 subs and over 50K bits leading to 34 Hype Trains on Twitch, as well as 18 Memberships (I think?? I'm not used to deciphering the stats yet ehehe) and 29 Superchats on YouTube!!

We're still having fun with Sound Alerts, with 1.4K alerts played!
The most popular alert this year was YIPPEE, with 135 plays!
We listened to almost 6 hours of sound alerts this year!

This year my top categories were ELDEN RING, ULTRAKILL, and Dredge, with me being in the top 10% of each!
Based Games for the Based Nightmare!!
Hmm... perhaps next year all my top categories will be in FULL UPPERCASE?

Speaking of games... Let's take a look at the games we finished this year! Click on each one for my thoughts!
(not including demos, those don't count!!)

• Project Warlock
  First game of the year, and in true Phia Phashion, it's a boomer shooter!!
  Although being the first game of the year, I started it in 2023!
  I'd like to play the sequel soon!!
• Bug Fables
  I was pleasantly surprised by this one!!
  To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would like it very much, but Bug Fables was a good game!!
  We had plenty of silly moments, and of course, PIBU!!
  
• Dredge
  Despite the Wretched Creatures, GOTY OF THE YEAR GAME
  I played through the base game and both DLCs, and I can confidently say that if any more Dredge content is released we will Be There!!
  The gameplay, story, art style, soundtrack... even the Gale Cliffs were amazing!!
• Project DIVA Mega Mix+
  Part Hardcore Rhythm Gaming, part Just Chatting!!
  We had a whole lot of fun with this one!
• Garten of Banban 1
  The Goofy
  I will not rest until I find out the context of the Skyrim Reference clip I saw...
  2025 YEAR OF THE BANBAN LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
• Alien Isolation
  Genuinely an incredible game!!
  I may have gotten lost a few times, but those Bobots and Allens stood no chance against me!!
• ULTRAKILL
  Not technically FINISHED, but we finished everything available as of now!
  ...Those P-Ranks weren't easy!!
  I think ULTRAKILL changed my brain chemistry
  (it also led to me buying my first body pillow... comfiest purchase I've ever made)
• SCP: Doki Doki Anomaly
  SCP Waifus... what more can I say??
  The match-3 game was fun, and I liked the soundtrack!!
• Wobbledogs
  As someone who doesn't know much about Dogs, this game was very educational!
  The life cycle and genetic diversity of these Majestic Creatures are truly Wonderful... nature is beautiful :)
  (ignore the fact that I had a Torment Chamber and a Tooth Farm)
• FLATHEAD
  OVER. OR. UNDER?
• Buckshot Roulette
  After learning that you're supposed to Pay Attention, this was a fun game!!
  It was so goofy watching the dealer shoot himself... why did he do that??
• PIEN & PAON plus
  PIEN, PIEN, PIEN, PIEN
  SETSUNAKUTE NAITE IRU TOKI WA
  YASASHIKU DAKISHIMETE NAGUSAMETE
  AH, SORE DAKE
• Cave Crawler
  AAAHHHHHH YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING THIS NETWORK OF CAVES ALIVE
• The Pony Factory
  The perfect mix of Goofy and Spooky, truly a Delicious Snack!!
• Wattam
  A very pleasant, if at times slightly confusing game!!
  I liked discovering all the Little Guys, and the Prince cameo was a fun surprise!!
• CARRION
  FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH
  ...There's just something about playing as a Wretched Flesh Abomination, going around tearing people limb-from-limb and devouring their corpses!!
• Aooni Remastered
  It's Ao Oni!! You know Ao Oni!!
  ...Despite playing this game before, I didn't remember very many of the puzzle solutions ehehe!!
• Still Wakes the Deep
  This was a good one!!!
  Very spooky to be on an oil rig, Respect to anyone who can Do That!!!
  The Flesh Creatures in this game were Mama Mia Chef's Kiss Perfection Yes!!
• They Breathe
  A short but sweet(?) game about a Frog and a terrible secret!!
• The Sirena Expedition
  This one surprised me with Philosophical Themes Jumpscare!
  It had some fun mechanics, and it wasn't too easy to get lost!!
• Wretched Depths
  It temporarily filled the Dredge-Shaped hole in my heart, with it's Wretched Nasty Fishes!!
• Gone Fishing
  A fun game! I'm (as of writing) one of the only people who's uploaded footage of beating the boss fight!!
• Subnautica: Below Zero
  Not as Spooky as the first game thankfully!! (although still spooky!!)
  This led to increased Violence... and hubris to take on the next Subnautica!!
• Trepang2
  I loved Trepang2! My favorite part was when Trepang Guy said "It's Trepanging time!" and Trepanged all over the place!
  
• Cooking Companions
  One of the first games I ever streamed! It was nice getting back to it!!
• Lost in Vivo
  I've had my eye on this game since before I started streaming, waiting for the right time to play it!
  It was definitely worth the wait! It was also definitely a METAPHOR!!
• Mouthwashing
  It definitely took me a while to understand what was going on in this one!!
  I Very Much Enjoyed it!!
• Shinkansen 0
  A fun Spot-The-Anomaly type game from Chilla's Art!!
  The ending was a cool surprise!
• The Karaoke
  Another Chilla's Classic, this one was super tense!!
• Parasocial
  The game-within-a-game gimmick was super cool!!
• Inunaki Tunnel
  This one had an Emotional Support Doll, so it's automatically a winner!!
• Jisatsu
  Probably my favorite Chilla's Art game to date!!
  Something about this one was special... maybe it was the Poop Hole Man?
• Dread Weight
  The much-awaited sequel to Cooking Companions!!
  I still have to get the rest of the endings, and perhaps kill the Wizard?
• The Cabin Factory
  This one was a surprise!
  I wasn't expecting Lore going in, but now I'm excited to see what's next!!
• Amanda the Adventurer
  The time loop type mechanic was really cool!
  I had fun choosing the wrong answers on purpose!!
• Rotten Flesh
  ROY!! ROOOOOY!! ...Roy?
  This is what Alien Isolation would have been like if the microphone detection worked on PC!!

Gaming isn't all we did this year!

We did 4 karaoke streams... we'll have to make that a bigger number in 2025!!
The most common songs were Miku which I sang 4 times, and Connect which I sang 3 times!

I did a decent job keeping up with monthly art streams as well, despite missing a couple at the end of the year, leaving us at 10/12... tehepero
I drew a lot of you guys as little Dreamers! ...Maybe I should make a Dreamer Picrew???

I made 5 song covers this year, 3 of them being shorter covers I did for Singing March!
The songs I covered were Unrequited Love and He Who Sleeps Beneath, snake, Whisper Whisper Whisper, Douwa Meikyuu, and Aishite ita no ni!

This year I had a Birthday Subathon, participated in multiple charity events, had At Least One Collab, debuted a new model, and starred in a singing contest!!
I also did handcams, tierlists, and watchalongs!!

We did a lot this year!!

Thank you so much for hanging out with me for another year, and for the new dreamers, welcome!!!
I'm looking forward to this new year, and I hope I can keep being a source of metaphorical light for you guys!!
Once again, as always, thank you so much for your support!!!

One more thing...

Yep, we've reached the Fun Part of Phia Recap: Goals for the next year!
After reaching some goals which I hadn't really though possible when I started, I'm filled with HUBRIS and shall be reaching towards more Lofty Ambitions!!
In 2025, I want to release an original song, get noticed by Senpai, and Actually Learn Japanese! (LANGUAGE LEARNING STREAMS CONFIRMED)
Aside from that, I plan on releasing new merch, making more song covers, and potentially doing some Clothes-Related Content!! (what the scallop?? what to hecky?? it is a mystery)
