Create long-form (3-hour) "comfort noise" content, such as a Twitch channel streaming classic LAN parties (e.g., Halo 1/2) or a podcast discussing millennial-era video games (e.g., Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill 2). The content focuses on nostalgic chatting rather than educational value, catering to Millennials craving comfort and shared memories.
