My dog Bowie, the goodest boye in the world and my lifelong best friend, passed away at the ripe old age of 15. I wish he'd live forever. May you chase balls forever in doge heaven. I'll see you again sometime. 💔
the best clip to start the NBA season is this kid baiting the broadcast into flashing a "Fight for freedom stand with Hong Kong" sign on TV and then the cameraman pans away
Twitch now says that you can no longer call others 'simp', 'incel', and 'virgin' as they are now against TOS, along with any emotes relating to the term simp
Twitch baby, what is you doing?

I went on Fox News with
@DanaPerino
to talk about how video games don't cause real life violence, why this only happens here in America despite gaming and esports played worldwide, and why mainstream media needs to get it right
#VideogamesAreNotToBlame
Leafy's YouTube account has been terminated due to "multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy prohibiting content designed to harass, bully, or threaten"
Twitch will now automatically block the N word (hard r) from chat because apparently they didn't think to do this once in the last 10 years of the site existing but did think simp, incel, and virgin were worth dying for
Here is
@Ninja
telling Jimmy Fallon why people love to watch other people play video games. No matter your opinion on Ninja, you cannot deny his passion for games and his influence of gaming, streaming, esports/competitive gaming to the mainstream world.
trading has been halted, Robinhood is down, and wall street is in full blown panic mode all from a subreddit, shitposters, gamers, and degenerates from all corners of the internet. it's beautiful
after delisting GameStop and AMC, Robinhood has gotten over 100,000 1 star reviews in one hour on the app store, now set with a 1 rating. they deserve it
Sources: Facebook offered an insane offer at almost double for the original Mixer contracts of Ninja and Shroud but Loaded/Ninja/Shroud said no and forced Mixer to buy them out. Ninja made ~$30M from Mixer, and Shroud made ~$10M
Ninja and Shroud are now free agents

esports is for everyone
an anonymous Twitch employee emailed to scold me about my recent coverage of the company, saying among other things that inside scoops are concerning to staff members
you're right, the big problem for Twitch right now is definitely my tweets. keep up the good work👍
esports history in the making and an emotional moment: Chinese Hearthstone Grandmasters player VLiooon becomes the first woman to win a major BlizzCon championship and the first woman to win a major HS championship

@HeydoubleU
i have too. i won't support an intrusive Chinese app like Tiktok collecting my data. i only support intrusive AMERICAN companies like Facebook and Google collecting my data. if anyone's gonna steal my identity i want it done here in the US of A 🇺🇸
I have deleted the TIK TOK app off all my devices. Hopefully a less intrusive company (data farming) that isn’t owned by China can recreate the concept legally, such funny and amazing content on the app from influencers.
Innersloth has decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead focus on improving Among Us 1, including all new content and a new stage. this is the right move, make Among Us 1 the best it can be
BREAKING: Trump has signed executive order that prohibits transactions with TikTok and WeChat parent companies Bytedance and Tencent (!!), effective in 45 days

Microsoft is in talks to purchase Discord for more than $10B according to Bloomberg. based on the history and state of Mixer and Skype I'm sure nothing could go wrong 👍

according to SuperData (unofficial), Among Us had nearly half a billion monthly active users in November to make it the most popular game of all time in terms of monthly users
Among Us was made by a team of 3 people. absolutely incredible. they deserve all the success
Trump may have just unintentionally technically tried to ban financial payments to Riot Games, Epic Games, League of Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, and half the gaming industry by clamping down on Tencent
Breaking: Effective immediately, Blizzard has removed Hong Kong Hearthstone player blitzchung from Hearthstone Grand Masters, rescinded all his prize money, and have suspended him from pro play for one year for his recent interview.

Kenosha cops can shoot jacob blake in the back 7 times but literally drive away from the militia cosplayer kid running to them with his hands up after killing two people with a rifle, only arresting him today. solid police work👍
we watched compilation videos of cops violently attack people unprovoked all last year and now they let military cosplay larpers storm the capitol with no pushback. gotta love america
as seen on reddit, after 5 years and tens of thousands of attempts,
@ArthuurrrP

Fox News, others in the media, and politicians are already blaming specifically video games and FPS games including FORTNITE of all things for yet another awful multiple mass shootings here in America, in Dayton and El Paso
video game guns don't kill people, real guns do
DeepFuckingValue, the redditor who started this entire wallstreetbets Gamestop saga, lost nearly $15 Million today and hasn't sold a single share. psychotic. i love it. DFV HOLDS, WE HOLD
look: for several hours now I have been told from credible sources the reason DrDisrespect has been banned. however due to the importance and sensitivity around the subject I have refrained from going on it. i don't feel comfortable with it currently
Keemstar has been falsely accusing and harassing a woman for 3 years regarding DrDisrespect. Keemstar does no original reporting, has no sources, and speculates on fake bullshit. don't listen to Keemstar. doc's tweet does not refute what i have reported
Slasher “I know why Dr Disrespect was BANNED “
21 hours later
Dr Disrespect “I don’t know why I was BANNED”
How does Esport reporter claim to know when Doc himself doesn’t know? 😂
DMCA took down the MF DOOM tribute from Flying Lotus and others in the middle of the stream. the sad state of Twitch means we can't even commemorate a fallen legend properly (the stream came back later on another channel)
JUST IN:

@RonWyden
, congressman Gallagher and Malinowski have signed a joint letter directed to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick denouncing and condemning Blizzard's punishment of Blitzchung
NYPD has confirmed that Etika has been found dead. He was 29 years old.
I met Etika last year, and he was as large a character in real life as he was online. Etika was a pillar of the Smash, Nintendo, YouTube, gaming & esports communities. Etika will be remembered as a good man.
people online are absolutely overusing these terms that they're meaningless, and losers constantly misuse terms like simp to attack anyone who says anything nice about women. however this likely won't address either of these problems. so perfectly on brand for Twitch rules
and now Trump himself is blaming 'gruesome and grizzly' video games and the internet for mass shooting violence that only happens here in America
it's not games, it's guns
i've been fortunate enough to know Reckful through the start of his career as the Rank 1 WoW Arena legend on BG9 and Compexity Red MLG esports champion, all the way through to being one of the most innovative streamers in Twitch history
Byron's legacy will never be forgotten
it is absolutely insane that record labels have put Twitch in a position to force streamers to delete their entire life's work, for some 10+ years of memories, and that Twitch has been incapable of preventing or aiding streamers for this situation. a total failure all around

an unsponsored street fighter player winning a million dollars and the world championship while wearing his favorite vtuber anime hoodie is the difference between the fgc and esports
watching a video of the last 8 minutes of todays DrDisrespects stream, he changes behavior abruptly and mumbles out an extremely odd ending
