"It's overwhelming too" - Twitch streamer Jerma985 provides his take on being nominated for Streamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards 2023

On February 22, Twitch streamer Jeremy "Jerma985", also known as "Jerma," hosted a livestream dedicated to playing The Binding of Isaac. Before diving into the rogue-like game, the content creator shared his thoughts on being nominated for Streamer of the Year at Blaire "QTCinderella's" annual award ceremony, The Streamer Awards.

The 36-year-old personality recalled seeing various nominations while lying in bed and was surprised to see that his baseball game show was also nominated. Jerma985 struggled to find the right words:

"I mean, let's be really, really real for a second. I don't even know how, like, to explain it. Describe it. It's really cool. But it's overwhelming too. Does that make sense? Seems comprehensible."

Jerma985 acknowledged his nomination, but he stated that he didn't want to discuss the awards too much and was content with just being a part of it. He also wished the other nominees well and recalled seeing his baseball show being mentioned:

"I was lying in bed when I was looking at the awards. I was like, 'Oh, cool!' Like, 'Look at all these nominees! This is really awesome! Oh, the baseball show got nominated. The baseball! Cool! The Streamer Event.' So, that's cool. And I was like, 'Oh okay, I won League of Their Own last year,' and I saw the nominees, 'Great! Cool! They're perfect!'"

Jerma985's attention was then drawn to a viewer who stated that the streamer was being a "humble Andy." The Las Vegas native responded by saying that being nominated for Streamer of the Year was "cool." It was, however, an overwhelming experience.
