Stickam 11 - Sweetxcheeks

| Aspect | Current State | Suggested Upgrade | |--------|----------------|-------------------| | Video | 1080p/60 fps, OBS overlay with webcam + game capture | Consider a slight upscale to 1440p if hardware permits for sharper details (especially for craft streams). | | Audio | USB condenser mic (Clear, but occasional background noise) | Add a pop filter and a small desk‑mounted shock mount; enable a noise‑gate filter in OBS. | | Lighting | Soft ambient LED strip; occasional shadows in craft area | Add a 2‑light soft‑box setup for even illumination during close‑up craft work. | | Internet | Stable 30 Mbps upload (no noticeable lag) | Keep an eye on peak times; if viewer count spikes, a 50 Mbps+ plan would provide extra buffer. | | Overlay/Alerts | Custom animated alerts, follower/subscriber pop‑ups | Integrate a “donation goal” bar for larger community projects (e.g., a group‑funded convention trip). |

sweetxcheeks mainly streams first‑person shooters (Valorant, Apex Legends) and story‑driven RPGs (Final Fantasy XIV, The Witcher 3). The gameplay footage is captured at 1080p/60 fps with a clean overlay that doesn’t obscure important UI elements.
