The Armoury

Everything the streams run on.

The Machines

Two of them — one plays, one streams

MSI Creator M16 — the gaming machine

Minisforum MS-A2 — the streaming machine

Capture, control, input — and where I sit

Elgato Stream Deck Scene switching, sound cues and everything I would otherwise fumble mid-sentence.
Elgato 4K S Capture Card Carries the gameplay from the laptop and the consoles into the stream.
Console-to-HDMI adapters So the older machines can reach an HDMI-only capture card. A proper upscaler is on the list.
Elgato Facecam MK.2 Webcam — the face in the corner.
Blue Yeti Microphone — how you hear me.
Maestro 500 Wireless Headset — how I hear you.
Keychron K2 Mechanical keyboard. Yes, you can hear it.
Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless mouse, and one AA battery that lasts implausibly long.
Herman Miller Sayl The chair. The single best thing I have bought for long sessions.

Modern, and rather less so
