Content[]
Jawsh uploads highlights from his Twitch channel where he streams a variety of things, including GTA 5, Just Chatting, Super Mario 64, and many more games. Occasionally Jawsh will do Media Share streams, where viewers can donate to have a YouTube video play on stream.
Minecraft[]
Jawsh typically streams gaming content, amongst them being the occasional Minecraft stream. He used to collaborate with his former friend CallMeCarson on server called SMPLive. He had a reputation on the server for having "haha funny" reactions when he got pranked/killed on the server. Carson and UndrscrMason were typically the ones pranking him. He claims to have disliked SMPLive and was one of the first to quit the server. He would play Minecraft every now and then after SMPLive, usually with Media Share.
In March 2024, Jawsh joined Sleep Deprived Multiplayer (SDMP), a Minecraft server hosted by the Sleep Deprived podcast group. He quickly gained a reputation for being "anti-social," as he deliberately worked on his base far from the other players; however, this did not stop them from constantly crowding around and heavily griefing his builds for "bits." This reputation also came from Jawsh's tendency to shoehorn niche and outlandish meme references into nearly every conversation.
Speedrunning[]
Jawsh has streamed and uploaded Super Mario 64 speedruns. He mainly plays in the 16 Star category and his personal best is an 18:50. Jawsh got the 18:50 during Simply's All-Star 16 Invitational. Josh has also dabbled in the 70-Star category and will likely resume since he has stated that he is uncertain whether he can beat his 16 star PB or not.[1] He was taught the 70 Star route by Simply.
On August 7, 2024, he reached a new personal best of 18:28.[2]
