I want to know the whole process of what its like streaming games as a hobby. Im not the best at games but i still like them and i think it would be neat to build a community possible, but im still unsure?

Im not even sure where to start to stream to a community? i may be hard on myself but i just feel im boring, i really demotivate myself instead of starting things i want to do.

As others have said, depends on what you want from it. It's not going to be easy to gain a significant following. If you only want to do it as a hobby and have no plans to make money from it, just go for it. You can stream with just obs and a decent microphone. If you want to stream and chat with some people, you will likely be able to do that without too much trouble. It's not super hard to get a person or two to stop by and talk a bit if you're streaming semi-regularly.
