Discord.Net where to place SetGameAsync()

Question

Imports Discord
Imports Discord.WebSocket
Imports Discord.Net.Providers.WS4Net
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.Threading
Imports Discord.Commands

Public Module Main

    Private config As MasterConfig
    Private Client As DiscordSocketClient
    Private d_events As DiscordEvents
    Private commandHandle As CommandHandler

    Sub Main(args As String())

        RunBotASync.GetAwaiter.GetResult()

    End Sub

    Private Async Function RunBotASync() As Task
        Console.WriteLine("Now Loading Bot...")

        config = Await MasterConfig.LoadAsync

        Dim ClientConfig As New DiscordSocketConfig With {
                        .DefaultRetryMode = Discord.RetryMode.AlwaysRetry,
                        .LogLevel = LogSeverity.Info,
                        .WebSocketProvider = WS4NetProvider.Instance
                        }

        Client = New DiscordSocketClient(ClientConfig)
        d_events = New DiscordEvents(Client)
        commandHandle = New CommandHandler(config, Client)


        Await Client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, config.token)
        Await Client.StartAsync()



        Await Task.Delay(Timeout.Infinite)
        Await Client.SetGameAsync("Giving Damage While Taking Damage | -help", ActivityType.Playing, ActivityProperties.None).ConfigureAwait(False)
    End Function

End Module

So this is my whole function to get my bot running and connected. The issue I'm having is that I'm not entirely sure where to place Await Client.SetGameAsync() in the code. I've tried it above Await Client.StartAsync() and I don't get any errors but the status doesn't show.

With the help of the Discord API Server, I figured it out. create a function with your custom status.

Private Async Function Ready() As Task
        Await Client.SetGameAsync("Others hit me while I take their health | -help", type:=ActivityType.Watching)
    End Function

and right below StartAsync() do AddHandler Client.Ready, AddressOf Ready and now you have your custom status.
