The tools I use to run my empire.
My Song Playlist for Stream
Here is a link to my YT playlist for stream/video songs.
OBS
I use OBS to stream/record all my gameplay—free, open-source, and GOATED.
Davinci Resolve
Davinci Resolve is what I use to edit videos (and sometimes make thumbnails xd).
Also, free.
Canva
Quick photo editing. I sometimes use it for thumbnails or sh*t posting.
It is free but also has a paid version.
poll.ma.pe
Overlay for Twitch polls. Free.
Epidemic Sound
For copyright-free music and sound effects. Subscription-based.
StreamElements
StreamElements is my home for a large portion of my streaming tools. My overlays, donations, giveaways, chatbots, and even some sponsorships come from here. You can do many things with StreamElements, and it’s all free (or maybe it isn’t idk I haven’t paid for anything).
Super poggers, as the kids say.
VoiceMeeter
Virtual audio mixing. Used to use it before I got a mixer (they expensive).
It can also be used to route game, music, and system sounds to different tracks. Makes editing easier. Free.
MyInstants
Contrary to popular belief, when I use fart sound effects, I’m not actually farting into my $500 mic.
I’m actually using this high-quality selection of meme sound effects that will make your zoomer edits really *pop*.
Wheel of Names
When you can’t make decisions, have a wheel to do it for you.
Restream.io
Multistreaming is the easiest way to spread your message to the unwashed masses.
Free for up to two streams. That’s really all you need. YT + Twitch.
Emote Extensions
7tv, Bttv, and FFZ are what make Twitch a mind-expanding experience.
Use FFZ and enable 7tv + Bttv for the best experience.
Discord
Ahhh, the home of the afflicted.
Discord is traditionally where people who look like they belong in the movie Descent muck about and interact—a home for only the strongest degenerates.
A place so devoid of light and hope that a single bite from Pokimane’s cookies causes them to immediately convulse and burst into light from a vitamin D overdose. For that reason, I always carry a few on me when I go spelunking. It’s like vampires and crosses.
It is also the go-to platform for voice chat and community building. It’s free to have an account and run a server.
☭ Our Discord ☭
Thankfully, our Discord is the bastion of light in the darkness. Filled with the brightest minds and strongest bodies.
It’s like Rapture if Andrew Ryan read less Ayn Rand and regulated his video game version of bath salts. There are also slightly fewer dudes in armored diving suits.

Keep in mind, I run this shit like communist China. Only positive messages of your supreme leader are allowed or I will tank your social credit score. That means no personal loans, internet, planes/trains/cars/buses, and friends and family will shun you. So watch your ass.
Lowkey, I looked up the Chinese social credit system after writing that. Sheesh. 🍦
Adblock
Not married to an adblocker. Whatever keeps these corporate dogs out of my face is what I use.
uBlock Origin seems to be the best. Never had a problem with it.
Google Drive/Docs
When Google finally develops the AI that takes out the command centers of the human race and puts us all in a cattle enclosure, let it be known that I supported our new overlords.
Ideally, I’ll be allowed to keep my testicles.
QOL Extensions
These are two extensions that are must-haves.
Video speed controller allows you to speed up videos past 2x speed. Massive. It also works on videos without a speed controller.
Volume Master lets you change the volume of window tabs. You can even bass boost the ASMR farts you listen to.
Notion
Actual cheat code to life.
I freaking love Notion. Before I discovered Adderall, this was the largest improvement in my productivity. It’s a productivity app that was primarily used for note-taking but has evolved over the years and has become a customizable hub for nearly anything you’d ever need.
Notion is like if Evernote, Trello, and Obsidian had a Ménage à trois that accidentally resulted in a super baby that would supplant them all. A real Greek tragedy.
Anyone who has ADHD or struggles with getting tasks done should download this god-like app and change their life. Just don’t fall down the YouTube productivity hole. Watch a video or two on how to set up Notion (it has a learning curve), and then explore the rest yourself. Don’t overthink it.
Notion has PC and mobile apps that sync up your data, making it super easy to use at home or on the go. It’s also free unless you decide to upgrade. I’ve been using the free version for years and have never felt the need to upgrade, so take that as you will.
Obsidian is probably better for you if you’re a student or someone who only wants to take notes. That’s because it is a simple markdown editor without all the extra bells and whistles that Notion has. I use both.
Note: not sponsored, affiliated, or receive any benefit from promoting either of these apps. My goal is for whoever reads this to improve their lives and get rich so they can blow it all on gifted subs. We playing the long game.
