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.

What's your buy-in cost at this point? Have you already got a powerful xomputer that can game and run OBS? Mic and headset? You don't have to bother with a facecam if you don't want to, but if you want to, you can use something like iVcam to use your phone as a webcam. If you don't have a mic, I recommend Tenor's line of products. I bought a good quality condenser mic with adjustable boom arm for ~$40. If it's something you definitely want to do, there are ways to try relatively cheaply and possibly upgrade your equipment if you find it's a good fit.
