Built to be played with.
Gabe started streaming at 13, on an Xbox, under the name Baboosh. He streamed on Mixer, Microsoft's streaming platform, and moved to Twitch after Microsoft closed Mixer in July 2020.
The stream was known for its interactive setup. Through Mix It Up, viewers could interact with stream scenes and even the TV in the background.
It taught me the baseline of my social media skills: algorithm analysis and strategy.

Streaming on Mixer, then Twitch.
A team, a server and its own history.
Gabe founded and managed Team Eminent, a team of streamers, from July 2019 to July 2023. The team began on Mixer and relaunched on Twitch on February 1, 2021.
Through the team he ran a Minecraft server, the Eminent SMP, open to both Java and Bedrock players. It opened the same day as the Twitch relaunch and ran in seasons, with elections, wars and kingdoms built by its players.
The community documented the lore on the Eminent SMP Wiki. In Season One, Baboosh and Empt formed the BaEmpt Empire during the Eminent War, and Baboosh became the mayor of Booshville.
Content creation,

Baboosh hosted the Eminent Podcast with Archie, who streams as Empt. Alex, who streams as Twwiin, joined for the 2023 episodes. It ran from 2020 to 2023, and five episodes are still listed on Apple Podcasts.
