For the past two weeks, every time I hop onto Twitch, I’ve found myself browsing through Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen streams so I can watch people play the classic games in perhaps the most difficult ways possible. If you’ve played through a mainline Pokémon title before, you’ve probably been able to get through the game without too much trouble. I’m pretty sure all of my friends growing up experienced some variation of just letting their starter carry them to becoming the Pokémon champion. But there’s a community of players making the games dramatically more challenging by applying some form of what the community calls “IronMon” rulesets. The gist of IronMon is that it’s a really hard randomizer. The pokémon you encounter, their moves, and the items you pick up are randomized, while the pokémon you fight in the wild or those owned by trainers have increased levels. Yes, this means that your starter pokémon will be random, too, so you won’t just pick between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. According to the rules, you even can’t peek at which pokémon are available to make your choice; you just have to walk up to a pokéball and accept what you get. (Though…

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and California declares a monkeypox state of emergency, TwitchCon San Diego released its health measures policy, indicating that there will be no testing, vaccination, or mask requirements. “In accordance with current local guidelines, there will be no COVID-19 vaccination or testing requirements at TwitchCon San Diego. Although masks are encouraged, they are not currently required to attend TwitchCon,” read the statement on the TwitchCon website. For TwitchCon Amsterdam, which took place last month, there was a similar policy in place. Twitch partner Nazih Fares told The Verge he left after four hours, concerned for his health despite being fully vaccinated. “It was as if the whole pandemic never happened,” Fares said. “I thought that Twitch partners would lead by example, the partner lounge was cramped, hygiene level sub-par and don’t get me started with the ‘bar area.’” As word came that the same policy would be implemented in San Diego, many streamers expressed outrage and hesitation, declaring that they no longer felt safe attending the massive streaming convention. “I was planning to attend and had booked a hotel room,” Gary Whitta, screenwriter and Twitch partner, told The Verge. “With the news that TwitchCon isn’t requiring…

. Last updated: Aug 01, 2022 Apex Legends star Phillip ‘ImperialHal’ Dosen has been swatted yet again live on his Twitch stream. Police officers raided the TSM pro’s house on July 30 during the middle of a ranked game, with authorities having him ending the stream immediately. Swattings have become a very dangerous trend in the streaming world — where spiteful viewers claim a hostage situation or other serious offences are happening at the streamer’s address. This results in the police raiding the streamer’s homes, potentially handcuffing them or even opening fire. On July 30, ImperialHal fell victim to another swatting. The professional Apex Legends player has been targeted two separate times in the past. However, this raid was particularly calm compared to previous ones. During the middle of a ranked game with his squad, a police officer enters his room. There are no words — just a loud knocking prior to entering, followed by a tap on the shoulder. ImperialHal jumps, alarmed at the uninvited presence in his room. Quickly, the streamer understands what’s going on, and quietly ends the stream. No words, no explanation, just a swift exit. While the swatting occurs, mayhem breaks out in-game. His teammate,…

Getting started in streaming and gaining notoriety is not easy. A web developer has launched a site that serves to give more visibility to beginners who do not yet have a community. Nowadays, many young French men and women are getting into the streaming industry, hoping to achieve notoriety as great as the tenors of the genre. Pure passion or professional ambition? In any case, there is no shortage of opportunities: video games, debates, cooking, reactions, music, art… On the other hand, building a community is the most difficult for these budding padawans. But, thanks to the work of a web developer, this visibility deficit could soon be partially resolved thanks to an encouraging initiative: highlighting streamers and streamers without an audience for ten minutes, in order to give it a chance. The initiative, led by a user calling himself Clarence Dandridge, is reminiscent of other similar projects, such as Nobody.live, a site to find Twitch channels where there is absolutely no one. Here, with Little Stream (that’s the name of the project), someone with less than five viewers is broadcast for ten minutes. The project was shared on Reddit by this Clarence Dandridge, but also relayed on Twitter by…
