Welcome To The Community


If there's something I've learned from my content creation adventure it would be that community is EVERYTHING! 

Welcome friends, family, collaborators and more to the RidiculouslyBen's community page! This is my way of giving back whether it be through exposure, give aways, events, charities, and more! This page is also a way to get to know one another and to stay up to date with any changes!



Giveaways / Raffles (To Top)

What better way to give back to our followers, friends, and community? A give away or raffle! From time to time a collaborator (most likely mr5mil3s) and/or I will be hosting a giveaway or raffle to the community. This is our way of giving back!

  • The S.P.I.C.Y. Stream Team (To Top)

    About

    The S.P.I.C.Y., otherwise known as Spicy, Pizza, Ice Cream, Churros, Yum, is a delicious community of a decadent selection of variety streamers who love to laugh and have an amazingly fun and funny time! We're a healthy mix of comedians, artists, moms, dads, and more! Also, we're foodies! Maybe simple foodies but, foodies nonetheless. We love spicy! We love pizza! We love ice cream! OMG do we love churros! Just a yummy experience!

    The majority of The S.P.I.C.Y. is made up of individuals who are open-minded, caring, and have a sense of humor. We enjoy uplifting, promoting, and helping others the best we can! We like to provide a safe and welcoming environment with positive and comfortable vibes. Having a bad day? Just feel like vibing? Need a good laugh? Looking for more friends? Pop into one of our channels and we'll welcome you with open arms!

    The S.P.I.C.Y. allows viewers and followers to indulge in our silly good times. You can expect a unique non-serious, non-"try hard" good time experience a majority of the time. You may experience dark humor and sarcasm but please know, it is all for a good laugh. Our content creators provide game play from retro games as far back as the Atari 2600 to the newest and lavish PS5, XBox X, Switch, and PC games! We don't limit ourselves to just gaming either. We provide Just Chatting, ASMR (mostly comical), Arts & Crafts, Outdoors streams, and more! With "The S.P.I.C.Y." you can expect to see just about anything!

    Twitch.Tv only allows stream teams for partners only in which they can invite affiliates or non-affiliates to join them. Becoming a Twitch partner is pretty difficult, so, I'm taking it into my own hands to try and get something going! While this stream team doesn't work 1-to-1 the same way Twitch does it, I feel the experience here at RidiculouslyBen.com can be better as I've implemented some elements that a Twitch stream team does not provide such as personal links and a custom bio for each and every member!

    Like the vibe? Like everything that is The S.P.I.C.Y.? APPLY HERE to join The S.P.I.C.Y.!

    Single Mom Gofundme 

    • Status: In Progress
    • Money Raised: $64 (Goal: $10,000)
    It's been brought to my attention that our very own Saturnalia9 (Fellow streamer, stream team member, and friend) needs our help to support someone he's very close to!

    He personally knows a single mom that can really use some community help! She is struggling to make ends meet and has two daughters she's trying to support as well. This especially hits close to home/heart as I too know what a single mom has to go through (my mom) AND she has 2 daughters close to the ages of my own.

    If you cannot donate please help us by spreading the word either through sharing the gofundme link by email, text, or social media. If it's easier, you can share this charity page

    Updates:  
    • I am proud to announce I have started a new charity fundraiser on my Twitch channel for the LIVESTRONG Foundation. They're the lead in support (one of the best I could find at least) for cancer research and treatment.

      Why a cancer charity? I've had family that has had cancer. Also, during-post Covid a lot of people became unhealthy including myself.

      This could be an inspiration for a few outdoor IRL streams!!! Let's pull together and fight cancer!

    Date: 8/7/23

    Updates:  
    • Regrettably we didn't raise any money for "Gamers VS MS". As a result I removed it from this page. It is a charity I plan to participate in yearly. I would have participated myself but unfortunately I wasn't able to afford it.
    What's Next:
    • Still planning to set up stream team signups
    • Brainstorming and working with an amazing artist for stream team logo and banner! :HYPE:
    • Looking for another charity. Preferably one that lasts longer than a month.

    Date: 6/17/23

    I am making some changes to the website I'm pretty excited about! Thanks to my buddies Sockdown , FluffyMew, and my willpower, the unofficial official stream team will be rolling out as early as today! You can find the stream team info here!

    Updates:  
    • Applying the unofficial official stream team!!! It is a bit limited but it will be worked on until I get it jjjuuusssttt right!
    • Removed the stream at the footer of the page, because, uh STREAM TEAM!!! LOL
    What's Next:
    • Planning to add a merchandise page with coupons, sneak peeks and navigation to specific seasonal merchandise.
    • Blog post, hopefully.
    • Plans to implement a first giveaway.
    • Overall optimization of the site that google suggested.

    Date: 6/7/23
