Variety streamer Mop Garden moved from Toronto to Melbourne and built a Twitch community that looks after each other. She talks with Div about streaming to 200 people and still feeling alone, hate raids and burnout, why she never settled into one game, and how a fitness habit changed the way she shows up on stream. Also on the table: Rainbow Six Siege, Final Fantasy XVI, Subnautica, Donkey Kong 64, scuba diving, Aussie spiders, and the great corn in chili debate.
