Hi, I'm David better known as Ralphyy. I’m 33 years old and still as much a gamer as I was when I was a kid. I mainly play FPS games but do dabble in other genres if the game grips me enough. I started off my gaming career as a child playing on the N64 and Sega Mega Drive. Growing up I became a Playstation kid and went through from the PS1 all the way to now with the PS5. But at heart i'm a PC gamer, getting my first PC at 16 and playing games on a floppy disk (for those who dont know it's some form of ancient relic) At 17 I got my first proper “gaming pc” and started on games like Maplestory, World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. Then I discovered Counter Strike 1.6 and my FPS path was started. I played through all the Call of Dutys, Battlefields and Counter Strike games before stumbling on the beta of Rainbow Six Siege back in 2015. That's when I started streaming.
ABOUT MY STREAMING CAREER
I started back in 2015 just a little bit before R6 Siege released playing CSGO. Once Siege was released I was hooked and that became my main content focus. I originally started streaming as a way to record my gameplay for myself as things like Fraps at the time tanked my pc. But as the days went on people used to drop by and have a little chat then go on their merry way. But then I noticed the same names popping up that had been there before on previous streams and I was hooked. Streaming added this “other level” to gaming and with a game like Siege where there is a lot of downtime it gave me something to do and interact with. For me I started streaming when I was already in full time work and still to this day work full time, so streaming is more a “hobby” but it's a hobby that i've got some incredible opportunities with that some don't get doing it full time.
