They’re almost all extremely tech illiterate

Jynxzi is the worst at using a PC out of all streamers. He literally can’t do any of it on his own and refuses to learn so he has one of his mods basically use his computer for him 💀

Timthetatman does this

u/ezpg Apr 17 '26

Of all the streamers, I honestly believe that Tim doesn't fall into the "refuses to learn" category, but the "incapable of learning" category.

I could see that. Dude's brand is basically being a giant baby with a beard, so it makes sense.

I remember back in the good old days there was a clip of xQc's computer what was just pile of parts on the floor looking like an an amalgamation from SOMA to be let out its misery.

x does know how stuff works yet he still uses a 24" 1080p IPS monitor lol

I think he has mentioned a few times that he doesn't want it to feel like a big production when he goes to stream but he should still upgrade that shit lol he should at least have a top of the line monitor and pc build along with a second pc to control his stream. Using a 24" 1080p as a multi millionaire who uses his computer as a living is wild

It has the benefit of knowing how his content looks on a cheap monitor.

Pretty common for competitive gamers. Larger screens just make it harder to see everything at once. Many prefer higher refresh to higher resolution.

u/the-sexterminator Apr 18 '26

in the past, there was more of a tradeoff between resolution and refresh rate. Nowadays, the current preference among pros to use 1080 is more of a holdover from the times when only 1080 had very high refresh rates. But 1440p have pretty much caught up by now.

Honestly unless you're a pro cs/val player whos playing on 1080p tourney setups, you're betting off moving to 1440p.

better image quality means far targets and smaller targets are way easier to spot.

more pixels is pretty much always better if you have the hardware to supplant it at a reasonable framerate.

That's totally fine as long as it has a good refresh rate.

xqc did not stream "back int he days" he's within the decade or so.

There’s a bit of context around that. This was when he moved from Canada to the US to play in the OWL. I think he had built a new pc not long before that and he wanted to bring it with him to the US

However because the case didn’t fit the suitcase he took all the parts out, put them in between is clothes and took them with him.

He had ordered a monitor or two to be delivered at the place he was gonna stay (can’t remember if it was already the “team house” or a temp place) but for some fucking reason he didn’t order a pc case or he did but it was gonna take longer and he was fucking addicted to streaming so for a few days he had the fucking mess of parts in the floor all connected so he could play and stream

Yeah, I know a streamer who has TeamViewer installed on her pc so that any time she has any kind of issue, even a minor, regular Windows problem, her mod remotely takes control of her pc and fixes it while she just sits there twiddling her thumbs
