This is the engine that makes my stream run! All you need to get started streaming is a controller.

I use my Xbox Series S for gameplay! It has enough horsepower to run latest games on lower settings, providing a cost-effective option.

Another great moderation bot! The additional !clip command is also a huge value add.
