Rogue Creator Spotlight: XtianNinja!
Q. For those who might not know you, can you share your online name and talk a bit about the type of content you create?
A. Hey, I’m XtianNinja, a full-time content creator, Twitch streamer, and founder of The Alliance for Creative Outreach (TACO). I create a mix of variety games, mental health and faith-based discussions, and topical talks to help content creators thrive. Whether it’s looking at weird pictures, playing obscure indie games, helping fellow creators level up their content, or running interactive community events, my goal is to entertain, encourage, and inspire.
Q. How long have you been a content creator?
A. I’ve been creating blogs, videos, and podcasts for over 15 years. But on March 16, 2021, I went live for the first time and started full-time streaming on Twitch. I've never been part-time!
Q. What do you like most about the games you play or being a content creator?
A. I love creating shared experiences. Gaming is a powerful tool to connect with people, break barriers, and spark conversations that go beyond the screen. As a creator and community leader, I work to use my content to build bridges to help people feel seen, valued, and encouraged in ways that are meaningful to them.
Q. What has been your biggest milestone or most memorable moment as a content creator?
A. One of my most memorable moments happened when a young woman from New Zealand joined my stream in the early hours of the morning (her time), feeling completely alone. She had just been hit by a car and was terrified she might lose her leg. Because it was so early, her family wasn’t awake yet, so she turned to our community for comfort. We were able to encourage and support her in that moment, letting her know she wasn’t alone. That experience reminded me that content creation isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about being there for people when they need it most.
Q. What’s something fun about yourself that you would like to share with Rogue Nation?
A. My family has a secret handshake. After I played Infinity Nikki, a community member gifted me a purple gem tiara and I wear it more often than I’ll admit. Before going full-time, I made custom polyhedral dice sets. I wrote a book and teach a class for content creators called The Art of Digital Influence.
Q. What’s a piece of advice you would give to other creators just starting their journey?
A. When Link first starts his journey, an old man in a cave says, "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." To me, the most dangerous thing a creator can be is alone. Creators need other creators. Too many people burn out or quit because they try to go it alone. A strong community is the difference between long-term success and burnout. You need people to encourage you, challenge you, share wisdom, and hold you accountable. Whether it's collaboration, mentorship, or just having others who understand the struggles, community is essential.
Q. How long have you been a Rogue Partner and what are your favorite Rogue products?
A. I’ve been working with Rogue since July 2024, and it’s been fantastic! My favorite flavors are Blue Raspberry, Black Cherry, Radiant Rush, and Strawberry Hibiscus Chill. My top pick is the Chill line—not only does it taste amazing, but it also helps with anxiety and promotes calm, which is perfect for winding down after a long day of streaming and work.
