About
Who am I?
Hi, welcome to my website! I'm Tim, a 47-year-old content creator from the Netherlands. I live in the city of 's-Hertogenbosch, with my cat, Stitch.To learn more about a specific entity, click on one of the icons below.
Tim, the content creator
I've always had a strong passion for visual arts, photography, and video creation. My journey began in my late teens and early twenties through MMORPGs like EverQuest, Asheron's Call 2, and World of Warcraft. I was drawn to the creativity and storytelling in these games and began making short machinima videos using in-game footage. I shared them on my guild's forum, where they were well-received. At the same time, I led a small demoscene group calledNosferatuunder the alias
Allodox. I contributed as a programmer, musician, and texture artist – not an expert in any one area, but involved across the board. While not directly related to video production, it was a major creative outlet. Even while working as a system administrator, I continued creating videos – sharing tech-related content on my website and making short films from weekend explorations of abandoned buildings with friends. In mid-2015, I became a partnered streamer on Twitch under the name
AjiraKimberly, streaming
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimdaily and engaging a medium-sized audience. I retired from game streaming in late 2020 to pursue real-life video production on YouTube. I planned to launch my YouTube channel in early 2021, but COVID lockdowns, a broken vertebra, and other setbacks delayed things. I finally released two reaction videos in 2022, but they didn't reflect the kind of content I wanted to make. I removed them and rebooted the channel in March 2023 with energy drink review videos as an experimental start to help me learn the ropes. Initially, I filmed in a rented space, but later moved production to my living room to cut costs. In December 2023, I was sidelined by pneumonia and a broken foot, pausing work for nearly three months. By late February 2024, I returned with renewed focus and converted a bedroom into a small home studio, where I've been creating ever since.
Stitch, the cat
The love of my life is Stitch, an 18-year-old female European Shorthair cat.
Her previous owners named her after the Disney character, but gave her up when they moved house in 2017. I was told their dog, Lilo, was put to sleep due to old age, the guinea pigs were rehomed to a petting zoo, and Stitch was adopted by the grandparents so the children could still visit her.
Unfortunately, Stitch didn't get along with the grandparents' other cat, so they began looking for a new home. As it happened, the grandfather was a friend and former coworker of my stepfather, and Stitch came up in conversation during a visit. I had previously mentioned to my parents that I was thinking of adopting a kitten, and my mother asked if I'd consider an older cat instead. I agreed to meet her – and we clicked instantly.
A few days later, on November 11, 2017, I adopted her. We've been inseparable ever since.

With just 1.75 by 2.30 meters to work with, my studio setup requires a clever use of space and a compact gear layout. Every piece of equipment has been carefully chosen to save space without sacrificing quality. Aside from the talking-head camera, key light, and background lights, everything is mounted directly to the table using articulating arms and clamp-on stands.

About the review videos...
That's right!
I'm a reviewer, not a collector. The cans and packets you see in the background are actually my
to-do listfor upcoming energy and gamer drink reviews. The three in the small cube shelf on the right wall are (usually) the next reviews in line, while the larger cupboard on the left holds the rest of my stock. In general, I review canned and bottled drinks in order of their expiration dates, though a newly released drink might occasionally jump the queue. Gamer drinks are a bit more random, since sample packets from the same brand often share similar expiration dates. You can check out the full stock and upcoming reviews right here .
Since 2025, I've been giving each energy or gamer drink a tier rating at the end of my reviews, ranging from S (the best) to F (the worst). Flavor is the main factor I focus on, though I also take nutrition – especially sugar content – into account to some degree. Price and packaging design aren't part of the ranking.
Here's what each tier means:
- S - Superb: Exceptional quality, a true standout.
- A - Amazing: Excellent overall, with minor drawbacks.
- B - Balanced: Good in most aspects, a solid choice.
- C - Could Improve: Some noticeable flaws, but still enjoyable.
- D - Disappointing: Significant issues, not recommended.
- E - Extremely Poor: Major flaws, a waste of time/money.
- F - Failure: Unacceptable quality, major flaws, avoid at all costs.
I'd be happy to review your product! Just reach out to request my shipping address – but before you do, please keep the following in mind:
For food and drink reviews:
- I'm a type 2 diabetic , and that's my top priority. If your product contains more than 5 grams of sugar per 100 ml, I won't be able to do a taste test. I'm always open to discovering new products, but I won't compromise my health to do so. That said, I'd be more than happy to explore other ways we could collaborate.
- At heart, I'm a content creator – not a salesperson. My aim is to produce honest, entertaining, and informative content, not to push sales through scripted or guided reviews. While you're welcome to suggest key features you'd like mentioned, I retain full creative control over how the review is presented. My thoughts, humor, and even the occasional mistake are entirely my own. I don't submit video previews for approval or revision.
- I also don't moderate or remove critical comments, as long as they're factually accurate and respectfully expressed – whether they're directed at me or the product being reviewed.
- As required by law and YouTube's guidelines, I will clearly disclose that a video includes paid promotion if I've received free samples or other support from the manufacturer, even if no money changes hands. I'll also mark the
includes paid promotion
checkbox on YouTube accordingly. - While I can't guarantee viewership numbers, I can promise high production quality, honest coverage, and my best effort to reach the right audience.
- You're most welcome to share my videos by linking to or embedding the original upload on YouTube. However, re-uploading all or part of a video without my explicit permission is not allowed.
- For canned or bottled drink samples, please include at least two containers per flavor in case one is damaged in transit.
- I won't accept packages that require payment on delivery, including shipping fees, import duties, or COD charges, unless previously agreed upon.
