Welcome to the 10th edition of Airhorn Army News! 📰 Started as weekly in November 2023, became monthly in 2024 and now it’s just a bit random haha. But I hope people still enjoy reading this once in a while. The end of the year seemed a great moment to write a recap! 📢 

💪 Questje’s Personal Life

  • Work: I’m proud that I’m still doing well in my Freelance Job as an AI Evaluator for DataAnnotation. While I’d love to earn a bit more, it’s becoming more and more stable lately in terms of project availability so I’m quite confident I can keep doing this for a bit longer. I love the freedom of being able to work whenever I want and not having to report to a boss. It also brought back some fun in programming/coding and I’m learning tons of new concepts. I won’t do this forever though, I’m open-minded to new job opportunities, either in the Poker/Streaming world or in Programming/Tech/AI, or both! 🙂 

  • Mental Health: Overall positive, especially compared to a year ago (it helps I’m not facing eviction at the moment haha), but especially in the last couple of weeks I’ve had some very tough moments as well. I want to keep this post mostly positive so I won’t go into detail. Keep in mind mental struggles are happening for almost everybody and it’s okay to talk about it. I’m not always the best at it, as I wait too long to express frustrations or problems, but I know I have plenty of people to talk to (virtually and IRL) if I need to, and I hope people know they can find me the other way around as well. My DMs are open! 😍 

  • Poker: I’ve played a lot less in 2024 compared to 2023. This was on purpose, as poker was still too big of a part of my life and if you don’t play well enough it can get very stressful. But luckily, because of some successful months at GGPoker in the summer (long live Hypers and Turbos!) and a nice score at iPoker (HC) in December I ended the year positive MTT-wise. I know I need to work harder to get better results tho, and I’m planning to study a bit more again in 2025. But I don’t want to over-do it either, there’s more in life luckily! 😃 

  • Weight Loss: I’ve been trying to lose weight this year and it’s going slowly in the right direction! Since March I’ve lost around 16kg. I’m still fairly obese tho, so I need to keep on going. I wanted to lose more (20kg+) this year, but I’ll accept December was a tough month haha. We go back at it in full swing from January*!

*Well, from January 3rd probably, as I expect some recovery time after my New Year’s Eve stream haha

Twitch 2024 Recap

Thanks to everybody who was active in some way or form in my stream this year as a chatter, Last Longer/Homegame participant, Crashword crasher, Whatsamusic crusher, GeoGuessr legend, Discord companion, or any other form of interaction. It’s been a pleasure to stream another year! Interested in more fun stats/numbers or your own most-said words or most requested songs of 2024? I got you covered! Come to my stream and type !recap in chat :)

*Excluding some weirdo called Questje who had almost 30.000 messages and all the bots ;)

Speaking of crashing, these are the 10 players I crashed the most with. Thanks!! 🤣 

Whatsamook Games are great!

📅 Plans For 2025

What are my plans for 2025? For the foreseeable future, not much will change. I will try to stream most Friday nights (except some when I play live poker) and the casual Variety Night during the week at random nights. I can’t afford to make streaming my first priority (sadly), but it’s just the way it is for now. But this way I can keep going, and I certainly don’t want to retire completely. I love my community and I’m proud of what I’ve built over the years. I still have more ideas and plans to improve the stream and add more types of content, including different/new games (retro!), some more music/DJ-related stuff and more multi-streaming attempts at TikTok/YouTube, etc. Enough ideas and things to experiment with!

Besides that, I want to become a bit freer financially, which will require me to push a bit harder on my Freelance job and keep working on my health, walking, getting outside and being more social in real life. I made good steps in 2024, just gotta keep on going!

📅 Upcoming Streams

  • 📅 Tuesday. Dec 31st: “New Year’s Eve 2024-2025” 🍺🍺
    Yes! We’re doing it again: our annual New Year’s Eve Party on stream with Poker, Variety, Games, No Delay, Music and a Visual Countdown to 2025 all over the world. I will NOT guarantee it will be another 24-hour stream like last year, but fun it WILL be with Whatsamusic, Crashword, Homegames, Words on Stream, etc! 🎶 You can also request your own personalized 2024 !recap in chat :)

  • 📅 Every Friday: “Rush & Cash Friday” 📢

    Most Friday’s we have fun Last Longers, C$ Giveaways, and 2NL Homegame Tables to play with the community while I try to win big Cash Drop Pots! Often after poker, we play some games like Crashword. I really love streaming Fridays, so I see no reason to stop :)
