PowEnvy’s room is like a junk food museum. In one corner there are empty packages of crisps and jellies. In another, we find fast food bags stacked on top of each other. On the desk, next to empty coffee cups and empty bottles, there are empty soda cans.
In a video from late September, the streamer showed how he was cleaning his room before a date. He made an effort by throwing away the rotting food and old drink, but in the end the room still looked extremely unkempt.
“Overall, I think it looks really good,” he said.
PowEnvy confirmed that the mess is real and nothing was staged
The TikToker from Houston, Texas, whose real name is Jacob (he did not want to reveal his last name due to privacy concerns) and has already attracted the attention of Internet users several times when he showed around his room, bordering on seriousness and satire.

PowEnvy told Business Insider it doesn’t stage anything. The garbage left in his room attracts so many cockroaches (he observes two to three a day) that he has started counting them and trying to kill them.
The creator has been streaming his games on “Robloks” since 2013, but on Twitch he has only gathered a little over 17,000 followers. followers. He has been making videos on TikTok since mid-2022, and after sharing materials from his room, he gained over 200,000 followers. followers. He often presents his videos as “A Day in the Life of a ‘Roblox’ Streamer.”
-It’s like finding Pokémon. You walk around the room and they jump out at you, he said about his adventures with cockroaches.
His videos may confirm some common and disturbing stereotypes about the gaming community, which lacks hygiene and lives in sloppy conditions.
PowerEnvy also shared TikToks of him “learning to cook” (boiling pasta in a cup), hiring cleaners to tidy his room and recommending showering only once a week.
His videos became so popular that viewers accused him of faking the content, and some even claimed that he repeatedly reused some of the trash seen in the videos.
Most of his viewers are terrified.
“This guy’s room is a biohazard,” reads one of the comments under the video from October 18.
Some people tried to give him advice. “I understand that cleaning can be a pain, but it’s necessary, turn off the computer, turn on your favorite music and start with one section at a time, you can do it!” — wrote one of the fans under the video, in which the author stated that his life was in ruins because he lost in the game “League of Legends”.
PowEnvy maintains that the lifestyle it showcases is authentic. “Cockroaches are not paid actors,” he joked in an interview with BI.
“It’s not like I spend all day eating and throwing leftovers all over the floor,” he added. — It’s just that sometimes things slip my mind. I finish eating and don’t feel like going downstairs, I prefer to stay at the computer, he said.
Only once did he feel compelled to clean his room. This happened after so much feces accumulated in his two rats’ cages that his friend took notice and commented on the unpleasant smell.
PowEnvy admits that most of the waste in his room comes from junk food. According to the streamer, on a typical day he eats a bacon sandwich from Starbucks for breakfast, Crispy Takis for an after-breakfast snack, and a chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A for lunch. He eats a few other snacks throughout the day, such as GoGo fruit puree, and eats pizza for dinner.
He spends most of his day gaming, unless he’s making a TikTok video. He revealed that he is working on concluding an exciting deal with a certain brand, but did not want to reveal the details.
Before PowEnvy recently moved into his own home, he lived with parents who didn’t mind him sharing his lifestyle habits with the world.
“They like my movies, but they don’t like my room,” he said.
He added that despite pressure from his parents and online criticism, he did not feel much obliged to clean. He said he only felt compelled to expand his content beyond things related to the appalling filth in his room.
“I don’t care what people know me for, I just want to create fun content,” PowEnvy said. “I just want to make people laugh,” he concluded.
