However, it seems as though it isn’t all fun and games at Twitch. The site has had to make some alterations to its dress code. The new changes warn streamers to wear appropriate clothing for their channels. “Nerds are sexy, and you’re all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let’s try and keep this about the games, shall we?” Asks the newly-updated Rules of Conduct. In a light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek warning, the rules state that “You may have a great six-pack, but that’s better shared on the beach during a 2-on-2 volleyball game blasting Playing with the Boys....

The video game community has been taking stronger stands as of late against harassment, hate speech, and the like. Over last summer, developers and publishers stepped up, like EA attempting to reduce racist language in its sports games, a genre with a negative reputation in that area. In light of a nationwide–and very much worldwide–Black Lives Matter movement, the gaming world collectively took a stand; it is now doing so for the Asian and Asian American community as well....

The World of Warcraft streamer’s most recent break from streaming started following a September 16 broadcast. Following the stream, he tweeted a message regarding a personal matter that he had to deal attend to. In the message on social media, Asmongold revealed that his mother had become ill. While at the time of writing, the streamer hadn’t disclosed the details of his mother’s health condition, he did reveal that he had taken her to the hospital....

Over the past couple of weeks, Asmongold has not streamed on his main Twitch channel. While he has popped in on his secondary channel occasionally, his lack of appearances has caused some fans to wonder what is going on. Fortunately, Asmongold gave an update to his fans on Twitter in a July 25 message. However, the streamer recently gave some additional context for his recent hiatus from his regular streaming schedule....

Twitch streamer Summit1g recently came under fire from his community after live-streaming Fortnite with Jake Paul. The streamer’s audience gave multiple and consistent complaints through the chat in regards to Paul’s attendance, with Summit1g noting during the stream that he “was a little disappointed in the chat,” adding that he thought “[his chat] was a little bit different.” He ended mentioning that “[he] thought some people had a little bit thicker skin....

Since its release on November 9, God of War Ragnarok received critical acclaim across the globe. Picking up a few years after the original 2018 game, God of War Ragnarok happens during the apocalyptic Fimbulwinter that precludes Ragnarok in Norse mythology.

The wholesome family moment comes from streamer NateBosa, an aspiring new streamer. The young gamer’s exchange with his mom was captured during a Twitch stream, which is certainly good press for the platform, as it has faced plenty of criticism as of late. Twitch’s recent recap video came under fire for labeling VTubers as AI, and content creator Trainwrecks also just accused top Twitch Streamers of viewbotting, claiming that around 90 of the 100 top streamers are intentionally and “aggressively” artificially spiking their view count....

Dawson took an extended break from social media before making a comeback on YouTube on October 7, 2021. The Twitch sensation was quick to react to the video in a stream and criticized the YouTuber for merely apologizing to curry favor with his audience. Although Pokimane is no stranger to criticism herself, she has never dealt with controversy quite like the situation Dawson is currently attempting to overcome.

During a recent Twitch stream, Felix “xQc” Lengyel was playing a one-versus-one match against another player in WWE 2K22, with xQc choosing Raul Mendoza and the latter wrestling as the iconic John Cena. Taking the match out of the ring to the ringside area, xQc cornered the enemy John Cena near the announcer’s table in order to gain a hilarious advantage. After punching and kicking John Cena multiple times, xQc’s character is retaliated against by the former WWE champion who is quickly stuck to a nearby barricade due to an unfortunately timed glitch....

God of War Ragnarok takes place a few years after 2018’s God of War. Following the events of the original game, Kratos and his son Atreus find themselves facing the titular Ragnarok, the end times of Norse myth, and coming face to face with more ghosts from the past and threats from the present. With Atreus and his bow at his side, and weapons such as his Leviathan Axe and signature Blades of Chaos, Kratos shows the Nine Realms why he is the titular God of War....

The Cityzens came into the game on the back of a six-game winning streak, and started this one too on the ascendency. United, without the talismanic Paul Pogba who missed out through injury, opted for a midfield trio of Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic. However, it was City who dominated the early exchanges, with David Silva, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva in the thick of every move in midfield....

Musk made the announcement in tweet on Friday, the day after finalizing a $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant—and the final day the deal could close before being taken to trial. The Tesla CEO added in the tweet that “no major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.” It is currently unclear how the council will be formed. Some users immediately began volunteering to be on Musk’s proposed council, including conservative author Nick Adams, who wrote in response to Musk’s tweet, “I volunteer....

Twitter wasn’t the only social media website and communication application to experience issues on Wednesday. WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram users also complained about outages. (Perhaps social media decided to take off for the 4th of July holiday early?) The website Down Detector, which regularly tracks outages on various platforms and websites, listed 122 reports of outages on Twitter. Users also expressed their frustration with their Twitter direct messages, commonly referred to as “DMs” on the social media website....

Fred was sent off, shortly after Paris Saint-Germain restored their lead, in a contentious decision. However, it can be argued that the Brazilian was lucky to have been let off for a headbutt on Paredes after a VAR check earlier in the first half. After PSG’s first goal though, it was all Manchester United for quite a while and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co. will rue their several missed opportunities....

That match was a virtual knockout for both India and Australia, and with Australia in control of the game, Virat Kohli stepped up and took his team to victory with five balls to spare, in what was a thrilling win for the Indians. Chasing 161, the 2007 World T20 champions were in a spot of bother, but Kohli, with some help from Dhoni, took over the game completely, seizing the initiative during the course of his blistering knock of 82 off 51 balls....

Having been annihilated 4-0 at the hands of Bournemouth in midweek, there was the need for a reaction from Maurizio Sarri’s men. And it came in emphatic fashion, as new signing Gonzalo Higuain led the demolition of Huddersfield. Doubles from the former Napoli forward and Eden Hazard, as well as another from David Luiz was enough to hand the Blues a five-star victory. The Argentine striker was brought in on loan from AC Milan during the January transfer window and he needed very little time to announce himself to the Stamford Bridge crowd with a well-taken opener....

In the first innings, most Indian batsmen threw their wickets away. It was India’s No.3 - Cheteshwara Pujara who showed the rest of the team on how to bat on this Adelaide pitch. He built a crucial partnership of 62 runs with Ravichandran Ashwin for the seventh wicket - only 50+ partnership for India in the innings. The crucial runs added by the centurion with the help of tail-enders meant that India could post a total of 250 in their first outing....

Ahead of the game, the Norwegian explained the rationale behind his team selection and also admitted that Ronaldo wanted to be involved in some capacity. Donny van de Beek was handed a rare opportunity in midfield, while the likes of Alex Telles, Jadon Sancho and Juan Mata were also named in the starting XI. Manchester United took a while to get going and were punished in the opening exchanges, as Manuel Lanzini gave West Ham a shock lead at Old Trafford....

The immediate availability of former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola at the end of the season have served to increase rumours of his sacking, with United fans all over the world resorting to spreading false rumours about him having been removed from his position last night. However, as it currently stands, Van Gaal is still the manager of the Old Trafford outfit and Jose Mourinho’s agent Jorge Mendes has said that nobody has approached him for his client’s services from Manchester United....
