And then things just happen naturally. It’s like Spike Jonze said on the Viceland show, ‘Everything is finite.’ What’s the corny cliche? Don’t be sad that it’s gone. Be happy that you experienced it.” “Everybody grows,” he continued. “I’m sure D’s got his things that he wants to do. I got my things I want to do. And they’re very specific to us. We’ve been a duo for a long time. I love everything that he’s done. It’s just natural. I’ve got my life, my worldview, my things going on, and he’s got his. So it’s only right that, instead of just staying like, We’re only…

Post Malone has taken his gaming talents to Twitch this week to raise money for various charities, and yesterday he was forced to follow through on a lofty fundraising incentive. After promising his viewers that he would take a stab at doing a backflip if his stream raised $50,000 for United Way, he was put in a tough spot when the donations started flowing. Afraid to take on the challenge, Post momentarily attempted to backtrack on his promise, but as a man of the people, he eventually held up his end of the bargain. “I said that I would say I’ll attempt a backflip,” he said. “This floor is mad hard in here y’all. … alright, alright.” Stepping away from his computer, Malone made a hilarious, yet conservative effort at doing a backflip by flailing his arms and kicking one of his legs in the air. The attempted backflip looked more like a mixed martial arts face kicking motion than an actual backflip. However, Post Malone was still excited about his efforts. “Did I do it?” he said. “Was it close? Did it look crazy on stream at least? … honestly that was kinda crazy.” Silliness aside, the United Way…

"We can and should keep shining in our brightest colours." Aubrey Wodonga at TwitchCon For many, TwitchCon Amsterdam was a chance for the streaming community to meet each other, chat with brands, and watch some esports tournaments - notably Twitch Rivals. But it was the event's drag showcase that was really the talk of the convention. Capping off the first day, the TwitchCon Drag Showcase was the first event of its kind and saw over 60,000 people watching in the centre's Glitch Theatre and streaming online - many of whom had never seen a drag show before. Not only was the drag showcase the epicentre of LGBT+ representation at the convention, it was an opportunity to highlight the diversity of talent on Twitch. There's far more to the platform than just playing video games, even if that's done in makeup and a wig. Eurogamer Newscast: Why are video game companies still trying to flog NFTs? The showcase, which I made sure to attend, was presented by Irish queens Dona Tarte and Nikkie Stones. "Not only did Twitch invite and bring over a handful of queer artists to their convention on a prime time slot, but they entrusted it to myself,…

As a result, Twitch does not take a cut.Charity streams are immensely popular on Twitch, with streamers collectively (and sometimes individually) managing to raise millions for causes like humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. For years, streamers have had to rely on third-party tools and companies like Tiltify and Softgiving, the latter of which has faced criticism for quietly helping major streamers profit off charity work.“Why is this better? 'Simplifying a lot of logistical hassles’ is a pretty decent TL;DR answer,” Twitch wrote in a blog announcing the feature. “For streamers, it makes raising money for…
