iNSUPERABLE Banned from Twitch for Body shaming Streamer

0

Partnered Twitch streamer iNSUPERABLE has been handed over a ban by the streaming platform after he called out a female streamer, “fat ugly bitch”.

The above incident took place on May 21 when Twitch streamer itsrachryan hosted a “Just Chatting” session alongside her friend and had committed to write the name of the person who would give the most number of subscriptions to the chat. This indeed attracted iNSUPERABLE who passed this comment upon watching them live,

If I saw the girl on the left dude, in a bar in Montreal, I would definitely skip on that s**t. The girl on the right dude, we can talk about it, dude. The girl on the left dude, she’s like the fat, ugly wing girl. You know like when you tell your chick, hey if you come to my party, bring your friend right, and she comes to the party, and that’s the friend she brings.

Four days later, Twitch support officially suspended iNSUPERABLE’s account for his comments as the incident was later reported by itsrachryan to the former and a clip was posted by her on Twitter which indeed caught everyone’s eye across the social media platform. She stated,

This partnered streamer came into my friend’s chat last night being more than just disrespectful and using our streams for his own content. People like this shouldn’t have a platform on Twitch or anywhere.

Comments previously made by him in the chat according to his TwitLonger:

How much for my name written on cheeks? She started yelling at me saying that i’m extremely disrespectful and that i’m sexually harassing her and that it’s not okay & that I’m a verified partner and she’s going to report me to twitch & they’re going to ban me if I don’t donate 5$ on the spot so she can forgive me.

She kept on going for about 8 to 10 mins about all the stuff I just said earlier that I’m a partnered streamer and that I’m going to get canceled if I don’t donate more.

Halo Combat Evolved Graphical Issues fixed in new Update

0

Released in 2001, Halo:Combat Evolved was a huge success and was later ported to PC by Gearbox Software in 2003. However, the port was plagued with a plethora of graphical bugs and issues that resulted in the PC version of the game being inferior to the original Xbox release.

The very same PC port was then used by 343 Industries in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and subsequently, Halo: The Master Chief Collection which meant that these issues were present in the ‘remastered’ version of the game.

With this month’s update for the MCC insider build – a special version of the game that lets players test patches and updates before their official release, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary’s upcoming patch aims to fix these graphical issues, 17 years after its original release on PC. 

Players enrolled in the insider version of the game will notice that Captain Key’s character model is the same as the one in the original Xbox version and a wide variety of textures now look better and have improved details as most surfaces now have a depth to them and can produce realistic shadows, the fog in the mission ‘Assault on the Control Room’ has better visibility. The energy field on Covenant dropships don’t look as flat anymore and Jackal’s shields will now turn red after taking a considerable amount of damage.

Check out Generalkidd’s video to see a side-by-side comparison between all three versions of the game:

Twitch-made Pokimane Animation To Be Up At New York Times Square

Times Square, known to be a major commercial intersection in the United States is set to feature advertisements of Twitch Streamers Imane “Pokimane” Anys and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. 

Earlier today on Twitter, Twitch released a series of animations, including those of Pokimane, Ninja and Timothy “TimTheTatman” John Betar which will be displayed on the billboards of the famous Time Square in New York.

In her clip, Pokimane is shown to have bright purple hair along with her cat Mimi who also has been featured in the clip.

In the latter, she is plotted to have armed the “super-human ability to befriend everyone” and could also be an “human avatar of her cat Mimi”. Alongside, it has also been said that Pokimane has also “silenced a few trolls” which is indeed true.

Pokimane is the founder of OfflineTV and was featured in the 2021 Forbes 30 under 30, under the category of Games.

In the Legend of Ninja video, dubbed as “According to his Twitch chat”, Ninja in his childhood unlocked a supernatural headband that helped him unlock his true potential. In the clip, his “Mixer move” has also been mentioned where he disappeared but came back to Twitch, in a “more Ninja-y way than ever before”

In 2019, Ninja left Twitch to continue his streaming career on Mixer but eventually made his return to the former after Microsoft decided to cease operations of their streaming service in the middle of 2020. Upon his return, he signed a multi-year contract with Twitch in September, 2020.

For now, there has been no official date set for the release of these adverts by Twitch. Stay tuned with us at TalkEsport for more updates on the same.




Disguised Toast wants to play Among Us Again

Jeremy Wang aka Disguised Toast wants to get back at playing Among Us with his peers and added on why the social aspect of the game made it interesting for him.

Disguised Toast, ventured out to GTA Role Play along with the likes of Sykkuno and Valkyrae and Among Us became something that they played occasionally. The social deduction game was the big thing that played a huge part in the rise of streamers like him and even to this day, it pulls respectable viewership despite falling out of flavour.

The dying hype of Among Us made many streamers jump into the GTA V Role Play bandwagon. NoPixel GTA server came to fruition that housed the likes of xQc, summit1g, and almost all top GTA content creators, so when the likes of Toast, Sykkuno, and Rae decided to jump ship, they had a stage ready to hit the ground running.

Toast’s channel was largely based on Among Us content and see him change games was a surprise for many but in a recent stream, he expressed his desire to return. During the stream, Corpse Husband, Valkyrae, Sykkuno joined in for a game of Among Us and it made Toast state “Maybe Among Us can be a game that we play once a month, maybe that’s how we do Among Us.”.

https://youtu.be/lNsKSpjBmuU

“I do miss playing in a group of people, but I don’t miss the gameplay. I think it’s great for meeting new people, it’s a great icebreaker.” “It’s probably best not to play too much and to play with a different crowd. Finding a new game is what I want.” he added.

One cannot downplay the epic viewership that RP pulls but his audience might need a little break from GTA once a while which will make space for him to push more Among Us centric content as breath of fresh air. With a fan base like his, anything will pull incredible numbers but going with the trend is something Toast must do retain and add more people to his audience.

CSGO Devs Fix Trust Factor Issues for Linux Users

After several months of repeated complaints from the Linux CSGO player base, it seems like the annoying issue of Linux users constantly experiencing low Trust Factor has finally been resolved by the CSGO devs.

The issue was being experienced by Linux users worldwide since January, and players have claimed that their CSGO Trust Factor would steadily drop whenever they played the shooter.

This would cause some serious problems for the players, as they would have to face cheaters, griefers, and toxic teammates regularly when playing the game.

CSGO player Keiron O’Shea resorted to several social media platforms to attract the devs’ attention on this problem. He even sent an email to Gaben himself in hopes of getting this issue fixed.

Luckily, it seems like the efforts of the Linux CSGO community have paid off, as Valve has confirmed that the issue has now been fixed.

“We’ve found the underlying issue and believe it is fixed,” claimed Ido Magal, a CSGO dev, in a reply to the aforementioned email.

This is certainly some delightful news for Linux users, as they can finally enjoy the shooter without facing hackers or griefers every other game.
