Stream Tech Support From an Actual Streamer (Yes, Seriously)
Stream tech support barely exists as a real service. If your PC dies, there is a repair shop in every strip mall. But if OBS starts dropping frames on the one night your friends finally show up to raid you, who exactly do you call? The repair shop has never opened OBS. The forum thread…

Electro-Voice RE20 Review: An Honest Streamer’s GoXLR Verdict
Electro-Voice RE20 review content is almost all written for podcasters: radio history, voice over charts, the eternal SM7B debate. I am not a podcaster. I use this mic to talk over game audio to a live Twitch chat, and I run it through a GoXLR, the exact pairing people keep asking about and almost nobody…

Battlefield 6 Settings for Streaming (One PC, No Stutter)
Battlefield 6 settings for streaming are a different problem from the best Battlefield 6 settings.

Networking as a Streamer: Building Real Friendships, Not Contacts
Networking as a streamer sounds like LinkedIn with extra steps. Cold DMs, collab requests from strangers, “let’s grow together” messages that mean “promote me.” If that is the version you have seen, no wonder it feels gross. Here is the reframe that changed it for me: this is not lead generation. It is making friends…

How to Make a Streamer Media Kit When You’re Small
A streamer media kit feels like something you earn after you blow up. Big numbers first, fancy page second. I had it exactly backwards, and so does almost every template on the internet. I built mine while small, on purpose, and it changed the shape of every partnership conversation since. Here is how to make…

How to Build a Stream Schedule You Can Actually Stick To
A stream schedule only works if the person who wrote it can actually live it. Obvious, right? Almost nobody streams like they believe it. I stream as ssx3000 three days a week, wrapped around a full time job. Not because three is a magic number, but because three is what my life can defend. Here…

Why I Built a Streamer Website (And You Should Too)
A streamer website is the most underrated upgrade in your entire setup. Not a new mic. Not a better camera. A simple site, on a domain you own, with your name at the top. I stream as ssx3000, and for a long time my whole online presence lived on platforms I do not control. Twitch…
