Riyan Parag shared a screenshot of the message from his mother on Twitter, where she has asked her son to not stop believing in his abilities. Riyan Parag. (Photo Source: Twitter) Life in the world of social media is not easy. And, when a person is famous and things are not going his way, then he might be subjected to some trolls. Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) cricketer Riyan Parag experienced a poor outing with both bat and ball in his side’s first match of IPL Phase 2 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). With the bat, Parag could score just 4 runs, and his stay out in the middle lasted for just 5 deliveries. He also produced a disappointing performance with the ball as well and leaked 16 runs in the solitary over that he bowled.

Late on September 24, in the early hours of the Dallas morning, Twitch star Athena will hit 1000 hours live, eclipsing subathons from Ludwig, Pestily, and more. Dexerto sat down with Alejandra to talk cracking the massive milestone, her two-year challenge, and how she’ll celebrate. Last month, Athena had ⁠— in her words ⁠— a “really bad month.” Motivation-wise, the 25-year-old had struggled to get onto Twitch every day, and was mainly just punching numbers to keep her two-year challenge (going live every day for 730 days in a row) alive. The Rocket League star found herself considering ways she could “revitalize” herself, and landed on a subathon. “I watched Mira do her subathon, and then she capped it out just before 1000 hours. Seeing how her community reacted, how much fun it was, it was why I decided that I could go for that 1000 hours,” Athena said. The Twitch star “needed something to keep going,” and an uncapped subathon seemed perfect. 42 days later, she’s still streaming 24 hours a day. G2 EsportsThe Twitch star currently boasts 544k followers, and growing. Athena could have been forgiven for sounding a little tired when I called her up on September…

This image is from the official trailer for “Chicago Party Aunt,” produced by Netflix. Who doesn’t have a rowdy, inappropriate, booze-loving relative? You know, the one who drinks a little too much at holiday dinners and overshares about their sex life? On the off chance that your family lacks this chaotic member, Netflix’s new show “Chicago Party Aunt” is more than willing to help you fill that void.  “Chicago Party Aunt” originally started in 2016 as a Twitter account that published jokes about a specific type of Chicago woman. She’s loud, inappropriate and quite the partier. Now, the idea has been turned into a show whose main character, Diane Dunbrowski (Lauren Ash, “Superstore”), epitomizes the archetype of the Chicago Party Aunt. If it’s not already clear, she is an aunt who lives in Chicago and loves to party. In the series’s pilot, the audience is introduced to Diane. Her bejeweled jeans, spiky hair and boisterous personality, paired with a heavy drinking habit, give her more in common with a college student than your typical sitcom aunt. Thus, it’s no shock that her life is almost always in shambles. Over the course of the first episode, she is fired from her…

When I began looking around for other articles related to my pitch for my column this week, I was honestly shocked at how little media coverage has been afforded to the decline of internet forums. The death of the webforum is not in doubt — a February 2020 piece in tech publication Engadget, for instance, attests that it is happening — but outside of that article most mention of the phenomenon is limited to websites like Quora and Reddit. It is a shame that this ongoing phenomenon has received so little attention, because internet forums were an enjoyable and unique way to discuss topics on the internet. They were the bedrock of so many subcultures, especially gaming ones, and I was part of many of these groups. Yvonne Tang / DFP Staff Being 19 years old, the older end of “Generation Z,” there were only a few years in my life where webforums were still alive but I was old enough to write coherent posts for them by myself. This window of time, the early 2010s, was also when I began to really fall in love with video games and play them competitively. The first game that I dedicated myself…

Tyler1, one of Twitch’s biggest names, reached Challenger on his fourth account yesterday. This time, he only played games in the mid lane. Following his successful bid at reaching Challenger, the streamer requested that Twitch and Riot change the banner image on Twitch to reflect “the face of League of Legends.” While this didn’t come to fruition, Riot did honor him by changing the official League of Legends’ Twitter account’s profile image to a picture of him earlier this evening. Twitch hasn’t given any word of its plans to honor the streamer, but there is still a chance that something similar could come to the platform. The image not only puts Tyler1’s face on Tibbers and includes Annie, the mid lane champion of choice for his run to Challenger. According to op.gg, while playing Annie, Tyler1 achieved victory in 64 perfect of the 157 games he played. Other popular champions for the streamer were Fizz, Irellia, and Akshan. Now having completed mid, top, jungle, and AD carry all the way to Challenger rank, only support stands in his way. It seems likely that Tyler will wait until next season to begin his climb, but having completed the mid lane challenge…
