Content Creator Challenge Day 2: Your Setup

How you choose to game is completely up to you. You do not have to let others dictate what you do or do not play nor how you play it. Technology, however, will limit you in many ways.

You are always welcome to stick strictly to console gaming. Just know that you are often giving up good graphics as well as playability in order to have portable consoles versus stationary consoles. Similarly, playing on a console as a whole can sometimes restrict you compared to PC gaming because controllers are only allotted for so many key binds.

My setup is nowhere near where I wish it was but I am grateful for what I do have and the progress I have made.

Back before my time streaming, my time gaming was spent very strictly on consoles. I did not start PC gaming until I was in college and had a laptop that I could play Sims4 on. Now that I stream, I still largely play games on my Switch, but I also now have a better gaming laptop and play a number of games on there. The major downside to a laptop over a PC though is that I am often limited on space and have to pick and choose which games I have installed as well as my laptop can sometimes have problems staying cool because everything is so compact. This does not stop me from getting online and using OBS and twitch and discord and whatever game I may be playing though to hang out with my friends and stream to my community.


My setup as it is today includes; 

- Lenovo Legion 5 

    - AMD Ryzen 7 5800H w/ Radeon Graphics

    - 32 GB Ram

- Nintendo Switch

Elgato HD60 S External Capture Card

- Kofire UG05 Wireless Gaming Headset

- KLIM Chroma Wireless Keyboard

- Onn Brand Wireless Gaming Mouse

- Bamboo Fun CTE450 Drawing Tablet (for designing emotes)

- GoWeb C90 Pro Camera (used for when I do crafts or mystery package opening)

- FIFINE Gaming USB Microphone (not currently used because I don't have enough USB ports)
