Henya the Genius Plays Co-op With Three Streamers and Tells Her Community She Is Proud of It
The independent Twitch streamer was teased about her height, hunted for treasure with her guests and closed by announcing a sponsored stream for the next day.
INDEPENDENT — Henya the Genius, an independent streamer on Twitch, spent a long stream telling her community she was proud of it and then playing a co-op game with three other streamers. Chat greeted the guests as Matara, Geega and Ama.
Early on, Henya urged viewers to board a train that was about to leave, repeating the call as chat filled with panicked emotes. As generous gifts came in, she thanked the viewers and her moderators and said what the community meant to her: she had never had something she was proud of before, but now she did.
“I never had something that I’m proud about in my life before. But now I do.” — Henya, about her community
When the guests joined, they teased her about her size. One voice called her “little Henya,” and the group tried to work out how tall the small Japanese character Chikawa is, settling on about 45 centimeters. Henya answered that she was not Hello Kitty and said she was fairly sure she was taller than the character. The conversation then moved to how Charizard is pronounced, with the group repeating one speaker’s “cherry zord” and swapping the Japanese names of Pokemon.
In the game, the group hunted for treasure with a flare gun, a grapple hook and a jar that made foam, passed a megaphone around and sang into it, and tried to avoid a worm that kept coming for them. Later a best-of-three match ended in Geega’s favor, which one voice called “hags on hags.” Henya said she had beaten the game for the first time.
Henya closed by thanking viewers and saying the next day’s stream would start at the usual time and would be a sponsored one.
