(Image credit: Nvidia) Nvidia G-Assist is one of the few AI tools we in the PC Gamer hardware lair have genuinely liked the look of. G-Assist promises quite a lot, but at bottom it's a local language model you can run off your RTX 30-series (or above) GPU to help you with gaming-related tasks. Now, however, it looks like the number of tasks it'll be able to perform could be about to explode, as it's opening up to community plugin development.Nvidia explains: "This week’s AI Garage blog focuses on how Project G-Assist is receiving even more support for tinkering, allowing for lightweight custom plug-ins to improve the PC experience."And further: "Plug-ins are lightweight add-ons that give software new capabilities. G-Assist plug-ins can control music, connect with large language models and much more."Setting aside the questionable use of a dash in the middle of the perfectly respectable word "plugin", this all sounds like very good news for an AI tool that we already liked the look of.Initially it was the ability to have AI help you optimise your game settings that tickled our fancy, but upon its launch last month our James lamented the absence of its gaming AI that can

Image: nVIDIA Nvidia is mighty proud of G-Assist, its new “AI” companion that runs on top of an active game and helps you out with tips or hardware adjustments. Now, it looks like the company is preparing to expand its capabilities. A new plugin-making system and several examples are already letting the tool’s tendrils expand to other services. While standard developers can already use the G-Assist API, Nvidia is hoping that more regular users will get in on the action, and has made a Plugin Builder to achieve this. Using ChatGPT’s generative code capabilities, it allows even a complete novice to “vibe code” and connect it with anything that also has an open API or a similar setup. The video above shows an example user asking the Plugin Builder tool to generate a plugin to see if a Twitch streamer is live, then walks through the steps to create and install the plugin. It’s shockingly smooth, going from a text prompt to a functioning bit of code in two minutes (though I think it’s assuming a lot of how-to knowledge on the user’s part). Nvidia has already built what it calls “official” G-Assist plugins to hook the system into Twitch

Popular streamer and content creator Imane “Pokimane” Anys has once again brought to light deeply troubling claims involving a former high-level Twitch employee. On April 19, 2025, during her podcast episode, Pokimane revisited serious allegations first made public in 2023, in which she accused a former member of Twitch’s public safety team of using his position of power and influence to manipulate and exploit women in her community.At the heart of the accusation: the Twitch employee reportedly told multiple women he was in a romantic relationship with Pokimane, in an elaborate scheme that allegedly involved emotional manipulation, deception, and coercion. Pokimane says this individual used these fabricated claims to gain the trust of women, all while abusing his proximity to her and his internal access to Twitch systems.The Original Claims from 2023Pokimane first shared the story in March 2023. At the time, she described the individual as a “well-connected” figure who worked behind the scenes at Twitch. According to her, he used his insider status and connections to gain credibility with multiple women in the streaming and online content creation space.“He acted like he knew and hung out with me and my friends in person,” Pokimane explained in the March

What started as a few poker pros casually sharing their grind sessions has turned into something far bigger. Twitch poker is no longer just a side attraction—it’s a major force in how the game is played, learned, and shared around the world. These streams attract thousands of viewers daily, and they’re not just watching for the cards. They’re tuning in for the personalities, the strategy talk, the misplays, the meltdowns—and everything in between.Whether it’s a high-stakes final table or someone grinding micro-stakes in their bedroom, Twitch has made poker more accessible, social, and entertaining than ever before.Why Poker on Twitch WorksThere’s something uniquely compelling about watching someone think through a decision live. You see how they weigh odds, spot patterns, bluff, or misread entirely. That kind of transparency is a big reason why poker streams thrive on Twitch. But it’s not just the hands being played—it’s the personality behind the stream that builds real-time connection and trust with viewers.Interestingly, not all the action takes place on mainstream platforms. Many streamers are now exploring alternative poker sites, especially crypto-based ones, where players can skip the usual sign-up friction and jump straight into the game. No drawn-out verifications. No identity checks. Just

According to director Jane Wagner, the executive producer and director of POV told her they were worried about the political repercussions of showing a film centered on a trans person after the recent threats to public media by legislators and the Trump administration.Although PBS has since rescheduled the film to air in June, Wagner will debut Break the Game on Twitch streamer Trihex’s channel on Monday. After the premiere, Trihex will host a Q&A with Wagner and a roundtable discussion with Twitch streamers about representation, mental health, and cyberbullying.“Streaming the film on Twitch allows us the opportunity to bypass traditional gatekeepers and directly engage our audience of gaming enthusiasts all around the world without censorship,” Wagner told Polygon in a recent interview.Wagner said she pitched the idea of accompanying Twitch streams to POV when it picked up Break the Game, but PBS said it couldn’t allow them

In a candid discussion about grieving the death of Stephen “tWitch” Boss, Allison Holker’s daughter Weslie broke down in tears thinking about her younger siblings’ future. “When my siblings grow up, I don’t want them to be, like, ‘ not biologically related to him.’ I’m going to be, like, ‘We’re his kids and we didn’t get to experience him,’” Weslie, 16, tearfully said on the Sunday, April 20, episode of her and Holker’s “Between Us” podcast. “My biggest fear is that they grow up and they end up resenting, not only him, but us for experiencing it. I don’t want that to happen at all. I’d rather put my feelings aside for them.” Weslie is Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship, who grew up with Boss after he married the Dancing With the Stars alum in 2013. Holker, 37, and Boss later welcomed son Maddox and daughter Zaia in 2016 and 2019, respectively, before Boss died by suicide in December 2022. Holker jumped in to console Weslie, stressing that Maddox and Zaia will “get to have us” as they navigate their own grief. “They get to have you as their big sister,” Holker said. “You’re so aware of these feelings
