Esp8266 project box questions
The comments in your Link show that the infrared transmitter is just a LED without any amplifier or even transistor. Your will not be able to drive this reliably over a distance. This is essentially a LED with a resistor. A quick Google shows something like this as solution: https://github.com/mdhiggins/ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster

Best smart IR blaster that I can get into HomeKit via Homebridge? NOT Broadlink or Logitech Harmony.
If you're willing to do a DIY project, I built one of these using some cheap components and an ESP8266 board. For hooking into my setup (currently just turns a device on/off), I just installed this plugin, which also allows you to store the state of the device. For what I need, this has worked pretty well, but this may not be for you if you're not interested doing anything on a breadboard, let alone soldering.

IR blaster. What are you using?
Where possible, I use HomeKit enabled devices (TV and AppleTV) and HomeBridge (receiver). This allows HomeKit to know the current state of the device (on or off and what input a device is on). In addition, I built a DIY infrared blaster that I found on GitHub. I currently have this all on a bread board and just use a plugin that sends HTTP requests to the device to turn on/off any devices that only work via IR.

is there a way to make the esp act as a universal remote? other than being an ir receiver and doing every single button for every single device manually.
This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but maybe it will help. https://github.com/mdhiggins/ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster

What's the best way to automate these remotes. I want certain colours when things happen in my video game (I understand that would be a whole nother thing.)
If you don't have another home control system in place already (harmony, home assistant, etc) something like this is probably the easiest https://github.com/mdhiggins/ESP8266-HTTP-IR-Blaster
