Controlmypc

Marcel D, better known online as controlmypc is a Twitch streamer known for his streams where chat controls a windows PC.

History
Marcel created his Twitch channel on May 14, 2020. He started hosting Twitch Plays streams where users would control a Windows PC. The earlier streams used to be in 720p, hosted on a mac mini 3.1 with a bootcamp windows installation with the display being stretched and frequent crashes, bugs and irritation. The stream later switched to a shadow.tech pc at 1080p60s, with the display being fixed.

Twitch Bans
Controlmypc was banned at one point because someone opened PornHub while Marcel was eating breakfast. The script that was supposed to block the website had stopped working and the user was able to access PornHub.

Another ban occurred on February 2, 2021, when someone used an Imgur link which led to a picture of a penis. The mods weren't active and the image was on the stream for 2 minutes. Initially, the ban seemed to be permanent, but an appeal that Marcel sent was successful and controlmypc got unbanned.

Twitch Plays Bowser's Fury
During the break between seasons 2 & 3, Marcel decided to do a Twitch Plays stream for Bowser's Fury. He later decided to make it change to terraria due to mostly 2 people being active.

YouTuber a6d found out about controlmypc and started a video call. He played around with the commands for a bit, and later joined the Discord server (and also left it the next morning).

Content
Marcel mostly uploads timelapses from his Twitch streams, with an occasional shitpost or meme.

Ending
On June 27, 2021, Marcel announced that controlmypc would be ending on the 4th of July. The reasons being the provider (Shadow) increasing the price from 15 to 30 Euros, needing more time for programming, wanting to spend more time with friends and socializing as the lockdown and pandemic are coming to an end, needing to focus on school more (as he mentioned that controlmypc had a negative effect on his grades), and saying that controlmypc became too repetitive for him and the viewers.

He also said that he would continue using his channel to occasionally upload shitposts, and that he might become a normal Twitch streamer.

On July 4th, 2021, the last stream was hosted, with peak viewership of nearly 40 viewers. Afterwards, the code used for controlmypc was made public.
