I turned my chat into mushrooms, and hooked up their mushroom electrical signals to a synth to make music.

As I write this I realize this may be a very obscure reference to those mushroom music videos.

I made a stream overlay where you have to gacha different parts of the stream overlay.

You have to pull the chat, background, and vtuber model for the full stream experience.

I let different viewers pull the lever to gamble.

When the vtuber stream hits you with a surprise lecture on art history and classical paintings.

I made a stream overlay for a special Trick or Treat stream. Chat shows up on the Ring cam with different costumes that they all drew.

I have a trap door in case any trick or treaters appear to be too...dangerous.

I made a stream overlay where we burned chatters at the stake.

We did a witch hunt in chat, where we tried to find the one witch who was hexing the stream.

Added a few cinematic elements in OBS for us to savor the burn.

I turned viewers from Twitch Chat into a tiny germ, which we could only see through a microscope.

I made each of them speedrun infecting the chat.

We were trying to get a record of 10 seconds until we fully infect the chat.

I turned my Twitch Chat into a surveillance state.

I perform Lurker Checks at random times, where I randomly select a viewer and see if they have chatted.

If they have not chat, they are exploded.

The chat panopticon has become real.

I strapped a PRETEND bomb to a random Twitch viewer, which explodes if the chat velocity drops below a certain speed.

I refined the "yell McDonald's to skip the ad" stream idea.

I would randomly trigger an advertisement for a game, and chat had to spam the name of the game to skip the trailer and resume the stream.

I recreated the "Say McDonalds to end commercial" system for my stream.

I can manually trigger an ad to cover my stream, and chat has to spam my name to go back to the gameplay.

What if you could hear every single person in Twitch Chat?

I wanted to experience this, so I set up a TTS system that reads every single message at once.

I tried to endure the chaos while playing Keep Talking and Nobody explodes.

I made a crowd text-to-speech system for my Twitch Chat, where all the audio plays at once. It emulates a chaotic crowd yelling messages at me.

Using their collective help, I tried to defuse one bomb in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

I updated my stream alerts so any time someone subscribes, a text-to-speech alert grabs the chat and screams at them.
September 21, 2025 at 6:46 AM
Headphones recommended for this text-to-speech overlay

I made a new text-to-speech avatar that runs across the screen yelling.

The audio automatically pans left and right depending on their position, for a fully immersive TTS experience.

I made a cursed raid alert based on Death Stranding.

Anytime I get raided, the stream's camera zooms into my mouth to reveal a baby.
September 18, 2025 at 6:49 AM
I made a stream overlay where a baby starts crying if there aren't enough chat messages.

If the baby detects the chat isn't engaged, it switches scenes and starts crying.

Inspired by the Death Stranding baby, viewers must spam the chat to rock the baby back to sleep.

I made a stream overlay for Death Stranding where chat can call into the codec with text-to-speech.

I remade their chat avatars in the style of the Death Stranding codec holograms, and we also gave them in-universe names.
September 14, 2025 at 7:19 AM
I made a stream overlay for Death Stranding that tilts left and right, and chat must spam L and R to balance the stream.

Inspired by the game mechanic where Sam can trip and you have to grip the controller for balance.
September 12, 2025 at 7:33 AM
Anytime someone in Twitch Chat types "breaking news", their message is read out like a breaking news report with text-to-speech.

I also added a news ticker based on the chat message during the segment.

It slightly squishes the aspect ratio of the stream too.

Commissioned a new stream animation by @fishwitches.bsky.social !

The chat and I stare at the elusive fish (Joel). Played during BRB sequences.

All the characters are chat text-to-speech avatars.

Here's how to make your Twitch Stream look like it's on a retro CRT monitor or VHS tape.

The Retro Effect OBS plugin unlocks a lot of special effects to give your stream that warm analog feel.

I updated my stream TTS overlay so it looks like chat is popping in at random positions.
