Do You Really Need a 4K Webcam to Stream?

When I started streaming, I did what a lot of new creators do. Obsessed over specs. 4K sounded better than 1080p. More expensive sounded better than affordable. And somewhere along the way, I convinced myself that buying a better webcam would magically make me a better streamer. Spoiler alert… It doesn’t. After streaming for over a year and using a 4K webcam almost every day, here’s my honest opinion: Most streamers don’t need a 4K webcam. Some links in this

Our House Has World Cup Fever (And I Love It)

I didn’t expect the World Cup to take over our house like this. I figured I’d watch some games. Maybe the kids would pay attention here and there. Maybe Katie would tolerate it because she loves me. But it turned into a full family event. The TV is on. The living room is full. Somebody is building LEGOs. Somebody is working on the World Cup puzzle. Somebody is yelling at a player they learned about three days ago like they’ve

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Review (10 Hours In)

I expected to like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. I didn’t expect to get completely sucked into it. Ten hours later, I’ve gone from “Let’s check this out for a bit” to already planning how I’m going to 100% the game. This isn’t a perfect game, but it absolutely nails something that a lot of modern games struggle with: It’s fun. Not stressful. Not sweaty. Not trying to turn every gaming session into a second job. Just fun.

Blue Prince Is Driving Me Insane (And I Can’t Stop Playing)

I think I love this game. I also think it might be wasting my life. And the worst part is… I genuinely can’t tell which one is true yet. I Don’t Even Know How to Explain This Game Blue Prince is one of those games where if someone asked me what it is, I’d immediately regret bringing it up. Technically, it’s a puzzle game. Kind of. You’re moving through this mansion, opening doors, picking rooms, collecting keys, gems, and clues,

Why I’m Playing Old Games in 2026 (and Enjoying Them More)

Something’s been off. Not in a dramatic “I’m quitting gaming” way. Nothing like that. Just… that feeling where you sit down, load something up, and five minutes in you’re like…“Why does this feel like work?” New Games Aren’t Bad. They’re Just… A Lot I don’t think newer games are worse. I think they’re exhausting. Everything is urgent. Everything wants your attention immediately. There’s always something to check, claim, complete, unlock, progress, optimize. Even when you’re having fun, it kind of

9 Months In… And This Still Isn’t Working (Or Is It?)

I’ve been doing this for about 9–10 months now. Every day. Posting. Streaming. Writing. Editing. Thinking about it when I’m not doing it. Building a brand that, if you just looked at the numbers, probably doesn’t make a whole lot of sense yet. TikTok: 663 followersInstagram: 174YouTube: 144Facebook: 356 And yeah… that will mess with your head if you let it. The Part Nobody Talks About The burnout isn’t from working too much. It’s from feeling like it’s not working

Streaming Feels Off… And I Think I Know Why

Something’s been… off. Not bad. Not “I hate this.” Not even close to quitting. Just… missing something. And it’s weird, because on paper, everything is fine. I’m still going live almost every morning and afternoon. I’ve got a rhythm. I’ve got people who pull up consistently. The streams themselves? Most of them feel good. But that spark I had with Arc Raiders?… That’s gone right now. Arc Raiders Might’ve Cooked Me (In a Good Way) I think I overdid it.

The Division 2 “Rise Up” Update Pulled Me Back In

I wasn’t planning on playing The Division 2 again. Then Ubisoft drops a full update called Rise Up, and now I’m back running missions like it’s 2019. I picked this up a few weeks ago for like $3 on Steam, forgot about it, and somehow it’s still getting real updates. Not “patch notes and call it content,” actual systems, new gear, new ways to play. This Update Really Adds Stuff (Not Just Tweaks) The biggest thing is a new mode

I Think I’m Going Through a Gaming Nostalgia Phase Right Now

I didn’t notice it at first. I was just playing what I felt like playing. Then I took a step back and realized… I’m playing Uncharted 4 again.I’m about to load up The Division 2 for the first time in years.And the “new” game I’ve been playing is Retro Rewind: Video Store Simulator… which is literally built around the 90s. That’s not random. That’s a pattern. It Kind of Just Happened I didn’t go searching for older games. I didn’t

Retro Rewind Is My New “Just Vibe” Game

Something about running your own Blockbuster video store in the early 90s that just… works. No pressure. No sweating. No getting slammed in ranked. Just vibes, shelves, and VHS tapes. I randomly started playing Retro Rewind: Video Store Simulator on stream, and before I knew it, I had 6.5 hours in like it was nothing. That’s a sign. This Is What the Game Is You’re running your own video rental store. That’s it. That’s the hook. Rent out movies Sell
