About

Jake Straus, known as GernaderJake, is a Destiny 2 streamer who helps viewers complete flawless runs in Trials of Osiris.[1][2] By December 30, 2024, he had completed 5,000 flawless runs, including 4,000 carries.[2]

When Trials returned in March 2020, he was part of the first team to reach the Lighthouse. He completed at least 55 flawless runs during that opening weekend.[3]

Beyond Trials

Dignitas signed him as a full-time streamer after he had moved from Destiny to Fortnite.[1] In May 2017, he asked viewers to donate to Marin Humane instead of tipping him and raised more than $38,000.[4] He captained LuluLuvely and Cloakzy to victory at the TurboTax Expert Invitational: All-Stars in February 2024.[5]

He cohosted the lifestyle podcast Streaming Life Through Our Lens with Kelsey Straus. In an April 2025 episode, they described settling into their new home in Annecy, France. They announced an indefinite break from the podcast in its twentieth episode in August 2025.[6]
