Twitch once again bans streamer Lisa “STPeach” Vannatta from the platform, only about a month after her racy content last got her in trouble. Twitch terms of service aren't always the easiest to understand or consistently enforced. For example, Hasan Piker’s ban in December triggered heated discourse over whether the word “cracker” constitutes a slur or hate speech. The platform also has a reputation for cracking down harder on some content creators than others. Still, certain streamers seem to attract bans more often than others. Twitch streamer Lisa “STPeach” Vannatta is one such example, attracting multiple bans over her career. The latest one happened today, April 11th, just over a month after the last time she was banned from the Amazon-owned live streaming platform. Twitch has yet to offer a reason for the ban, though it may have something to do with STPeach’s long-running use of risqué content. Her previous ban came after the 28-year-old streamer donned her somewhat revealing outfit that looked like Cammy from Street Fighter. She was also one of several “suggestive streamers” named in a $25 million lawsuit brought against Twitch in 2020. So, while it’s not clear what precisely STPeach did to earn her latest…

Screenshot: TeQ / Twitch / KotakuI just watched a debate between two professional Apex Legends players about whether or not the Earth is flat, and I feel like my brain is leaking out of my ears. On April 10, two Apex pros livestreamed a friendly discussion about the shape of the planet we live on. Esteban “NanoFRYS” Gomez, a player with Counter Logic Gaming, represented the flat Earth viewpoint, while Will “TeQ” Starck, currently with FURIA Esports, bravely stood up for the theory of a round Earth. The two went at it for almost two hours, which is incredibly impressive to me. If I had to debate a flat Earther, I’m pretty sure that I would have crumbled much sooner than that. This all started when Starck tweeted, “Do any flat earthers follow me?” and someone tagged Gomez in the replies. Starck told Kotaku that he thought taking their convo to Twitch would be good content because of his background. You see, in addition to being a professional Apex player, Starck is also an aerospace engineer at MIT. At first, I thought that perhaps the Twitch debate that ensued between the two of them was a bit, and that Gomez…

On April 8th, Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed that he was starting a podcast together with fellow streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys.However, the podcast, the first episode of which was supposed to take place on April 9th, didn’t go quite as planned.The podcast was all set to kick off, but xQc was nowhere to be found and Pokimane was left hanging in front of her audience during the live stream.When asked by her fans on why xQc was absent, Pokimane tried to explain why she thought he didn’t show up. Poki didn’t blame xQc for his absence though, and claimed that he might have misunderstood her words or lost track of time.“I think he forgot that today was Saturday,” the 25-year-old said. “Or maybe he thought that I meant next Saturday? I don’t know. But I really think he just lost track of the days, which happens. It happened to me”It’s likely that the podcast will be rescheduled in the near future, and given the individual popularity of these streamers, the podcast is almost certain to be a huge hit among their fan bases.

When Dr Disrespect was coming up on Twitch, he had a pretty heated rivalry with Summit1G. That said, there were some pretty hilarious moments between the two streamers. In a recent livestream, Summit1G admitted he misses Dr Disrespect. “I miss the Doc, man.” Summit1G reminisced on his career and his time with Dr Disrespect Since Dr Disrespect’s permanent Twitch ban, the two streamers cannot interact live on Twitch ever again. Otherwise, Summit1G would risk being banned himself. That said, he spoke openly about the streamer, saying he missed the Doc. “You know, it’s funny, my time with the Doc mostly was salty, right? And now that I’m like, at a different time in my career where I’ve learned to accept up-and-coming streamers just s***ing all over me like the Doc did back then?” Summit1G is a well-known name on Twitch, as he has been streaming for a number of years. He’s at a more comfortable point in his career, but while looking back, he openly said he missed the Two Time. “I just regret how I took that back in those days, you know? It was like an ego thing back in the day, dude. It wasn’t a normal occurrence…

Mia Yim said she is back up and running on Twitch: “It’s so cool just to be back on Twitch, being able to game and not being censored. Like, it’s not for kids, but it’s nice being myself and not to worry that I can’t say this, I gotta say this, and things like. You know, we’re building our community and it’s a chill vibe and I love it.” Mia has also started her YouTube channel: “I already have a YouTube channel and it’s just a gaming channel. It’s just gaming, some vlogs, and my horrible cooking, but I do have a YouTube channel.” Mia was asked if she prefers Whataburger or In-N-Out Burger: “In-N-Out. Whataburger tastes like cardboard. Yeah, I’m going to get canceled for it, but I am not a Whataburger fan.”

Peter Talbot / The News Tribune Puyallup police say a hoax 911 call brought them to the door of a residence Tuesday night after the caller told dispatchers he had shot someone and was planning to shoot himself. When dispatchers reached someone by phone who inside the home where the reported shooting had taken place, a woman said there hadn't been any problems that night. But another fact came to mind that explained what happened. Her son is a streamer on Twitch, a livestreaming service that focuses on video games. Someone had recently accessed his account information, getting his address, phone number and credit card information. The residents had been a victim of "swatting," a dangerous prank call where someone calls 911 to try to elicit a large armed police response to a particular address. The incidents often target high-profile internet users or video game streamers, but many others have been victims, including celebrities, tech executives, journalists and government officials. The Puyallup Police Department shared audio of the hoaxer calling 911, sounding distressed and stuttering. "I just shot her," the 911 caller said. The dispatcher asked for an address several times, which he eventually gave. "Did you do this on…

On Wednesday, Amtrak joined Twitch to stream an empty railroad in Mississippi. The company is fighting to restart passenger service between Mobile and New Orleans. Freight companies argue that the service would "unreasonably impair" their operations. Loading Something is loading. At Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, there's a set of railroad tracks used by freight trains. On Wednesday, Amtrak livestreamed the steel tracks on Twitch.Amtrak's goal was to show how deserted the railroad is.It's the company's latest move in an ongoing fight to restart passenger service between Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans, Louisiana, which stopped after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, according to Vice. CSX and Norfolk Southern are involved in the dispute with Amtrak. The freight-train companies say the passenger service's plan to add four trains, or two round-trip trains, a day to the route without making infrastructure improvements would impair their operations, as Roll Call reported.  According to Twitch, over 1,300 people tuned into Amtrak's stream titled "CSX's Very Busy Gulf Coast Corridor."—Amtrak Connects US (@AmtrakConnects) February 14, 2022"We thought about putting up a live video feed to answer the question that people keep bringing up: How busy is the railroad anyway?" a spokesperson for Amtrak told Insider. The spokesperson said that…

Clips of Elden Ring's toughest story bosses being beaten in an unusual manner go viral thanks to Twitch couple Blluist's dual player controls. As a typical FromSoftware game, Elden Ring is extremely difficult thanks to many factors like dangerous enemy encounters and tough bosses. That's why it was incredibly surprising to see Japanese streaming couple blluist take on the entirety of Elden Ring in a two player split control setup. Blu and Grey are the bilingual couple who make up Blluist, wowing Twitch subs with their strong communication and gaming skills. Their recent streaming series of using a split control keyboard system while defeating notorious Elden Ring bosses has gone viral, with many clips and highlights showcasing the team effort required to tackle such a challenging run. The couple had been streaming their Elden Ring "Split Control" run for a combined runtime of 26 hours, finally arriving at the demanding final boss. While some gamers have managed to tackle the Elden Beast's final form with a dancepad controller, it still can be considered a measure of skill to tackle single-handedly. Blu and Grey's communication skills are utilized well by each one counting down for precise attacks and synchronized player movement,…
