FILE. Vernon Jubilee Hospital File Photo: Global News The mother of a four-year-old boy who went into medical distress just minutes after leaving Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s emergency room is reminding parents walking a similar path to trust their gut. Last Thursday,  Ashley Laybourn’s son Maddox woke up in pain, with only a mild fever, and she knew he wasn’t struggling with any garden variety bug. He needed medical intervention. She packed her son into the car and arrived at the hospital just before 6 a.m. and while they moved through the queue quickly, resolution wasn’t found on the doctor’s table. “She looked him (over) quickly and said he was fine, might be a stomach bug,” Laybourn said. “I told her that he had done a full-on twitch before she came in. She also saw a twitch and said that was probably because he was overly tired.” Laybourn pointed out that in her experience, her son didn’t twitch from exhaustion, but she was nonetheless sent home and told to keep an eye out for a stomach bug or appendicitis taking shape.  There was no blood work ordered and no further care was offered. Driving home, only a kilometre or so away

Finding the best FPS for the Steam Deck isn’t easy. As we’ve already established in our must-play RPG shortlist for the Steam Deck, Valve’s handheld PC isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all sort of device. It’s quite simple, really: some games straight-up play better on handheld PCs than others do. With that in mind, it should be self-explanatory that any given list of best games to play on the Deck absolutely needs to consider what the device does well and what it doesn’t. This list of must-play FPS games is written precisely with that in mind. While it would be phenomenally easy to list off a few of the latest and greatest first-person shooters on Steam, doing so wouldn’t ensure a good playing experience on the Deck, specifically. To that end, we’ve set out to find first-person shooters that genuinely feel good to play on Valve’s gaming handheld, and preferably with solid performance, to boot. What are the best FPS games for the Steam Deck? To best illustrate the issues in choosing the right game for the Deck, look no further than Bethesda’s own Starfield. While it’s certainly possible to run Starfield in a relatively enjoyable fashion on the Deck, the experience

Twitch's CEO sees a future where permabans are reversed. Twitch seems to be loosening its restrictions on permabans. Twitch is one of the biggest platforms on the entire internet and has grown a lot since its inception. The platform began as a place for people to broadcast games to other people, but has grown to include IRL streams, elaborate productions with game shows and events, and much more. Creativity is encouraged and you don't really have to be put in any kind of creative box, so long as you're not being overly lewd. It's a platform where people with no budget or a massive budget can thrive. Some of the biggest streamers don't have anything beyond a nice computer and a webcam, but pull in more viewers than some television broadcasts.However, Twitch hands out bans pretty liberally. Sometimes it's justified, sometimes it's confusing and leaves people scratching their heads. Typically, they're temporary and only last a handful of days, but sometimes they're "permanent". That could be changing, though. Twitch streamer Quin69 interviewed Twitch CEO Dan Clancy and stated that the company is looking to find a way to give users who were permabanned a "second chance". Clancy noted that they
