Shroud wants Riot to delete the Judge in Valorant

Celebrity Twitch streamer Shroud found himself in a heated moment involving the controversial Valorant shotgun “Judge”; asking Riot to “delete” it upon getting killed from a single hit.

Arguably the most annoying lethal weapon in the game, the Judge is one shot one kill gun up close and for good reason. The gun fires 12 bullets in a single shot which is enough to take down a player in close proximity no matter what their health and armor conditions are.

Like any shotgun, it suffers at long ranges, often dealing little to no damage making it one of the major drawbacks of the Judge in particular. Besides its range, the fire rate is slow which often makes it a “one and done” gun in several instances.

All these drawbacks aren’t enough to convince the community that still has mixed feelings about it. While some despise it, there are many who can make it work, especially on a tight budget.


“F**king judges! Delete them from the game!” raged Shroud. “Literally, Riot, click the button. Delete. That’s it. Just get rid of them. Just get rid of them. It’s that simple!” he yelled and for good reason. After carefully establishing a post-plant situation, Shroud was hit by a jumping Reyna with a Judge, and his 100HP along with 50 Armor went in vain.

Accuracy of other guns that can “one shot” at any range suffers from standard movement let alone jumping and that is where mechanical skills like jiggle bursts, counter strafing comes into play but apparently the Judge doesn’t care about them, thanks to its ability to fire 12 rounds at a time.

Krafton asks YouTubers to stop referring Battlegrounds Mobile as PUBG Mobile in fear of getting banned

Krafton has reportedly asked the content creators to stop calling their latest title by the name of PUBG Mobile in fears of getting blocked by the Indian government once again. According to a report by IGN India, a Whatsapp message was allegedly sent by Krafton to content creators which asked them to stop referring to their new game Battlegrounds Mobile India as PUBG Mobile.

PUBG Mobile has faced lots of blockages by the IT Ministry of India in the past. This game was banned in the country on the concerns over user privacy and data security. Krafton, the PUBG creators, tried their best to evade this situation but the ban was never lifted.

Krafton made a comeback in India by the announcement of PUBG Mobile India around the auspicious festival of Diwali but the hype created by this announcement did not last very long as a release date or timeline for this new game was never revealed. They promised to develop a completely new version of PUBG Mobile but could never deliver it.

The developers are back in the market after announcing a new game called Battlegrounds Mobile India. This game is just a rebranded version of PUBG Mobile yet it looks like the developers are trying to avoid refer it to PUBG Mobile in any way.

As per the reports, a Whatsapp message asked the content creators to stop using PUBG Mobile as an alternative name for ‘Battlegrounds Mobile India’. A part of this message reads as follows:

“We would also suggest to not use PUBGM in your content anymore as it was banned and we don’t want to be banned again. We would recommend using worlds like Battlegrounds Mobile India, Korean game, Indian version in your content.”

The authenticity of this message is unverified as the officials have not explicitly shared this information. If it turns out to be true, Krafton might be trying to evade yet another roadblock in the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India.

TapTap, a third-party application store has enlisted Valorant Mobile as an upcoming title and has started pre-registration process for this game. Riot Games has not confirmed about the development of Valorant Mobile yet but still, the pre-registration is already open on TapTap.

Riot Games expanded their portfolio by the announcement of multiple titles including Valorant and LOL: Wild Rift on the occasion of their 10 year anniversary. Valorant was launched soon afterwards and became insanely popular within the player base.

After the successful launch of PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile, other developers also ventured into mobile gaming and recreated their pre-existing games.

Battlegrounds Mobile India Gameplay may be made in China

Krafton has planned to return to one of its biggest markets by the relaunch of PUBG Mobile in India with a newer and localized version called Battlegrounds Mobile India. This announcement has created a new wave of hype in Indian PUBG Mobile community but reports suggest that this game shares a lot of similarities with Peacekeeper Elite, the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile.

According to a report by IGN India, Battlegrounds Mobile India may not be a completely new game developed for India. Rather, the “source code of this new game would be similar to PUBG Mobile and Peacekeeper Elite”. Both of these titles are developed by Chinese company Tencent and hence, Battlegrounds Mobile India might share similar connections.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is certainly a regional version of PUBG Mobile but it has not shared any connections with Tencent so far. The report draws similarities between Peacekeeper Elite and Battlegrounds Mobile India and they are as follows:

The blood splash colour in Peacekeeper Elite is also set as green by default to comply with the rules and regulations against violence in China. The theme of game was also changed in the Chinese version where Peacekeeper Elite simulates “army training situations”, rather than the original battle-royale theme.

The report also cites a statement made by Nico Partners’ Daniel Ahmed which emphasizes on the similarities between these two games. As per Daniel Ahmed, “Tencent, which develops and publishes Peacekeeper Elite in China, has also added an anti-addiction system to the game as per regulations. This requires players to register with their real name and ID before they can start playing the game. If the player is under the age of 18 they will be subject to time and spend restrictions within the game. China’s game regulator has mandated this since the end of 2019 in an effort to curb gaming addiction among the youth.”

A similar system has been implemented in Battlegrounds Mobile India as well. The revised privacy policy and terms of service includes the changes mentioned above. Underage players have less control over game now as they require the permission of their guardians while registering to Battlegrounds Mobile India.

These similarities suggest that Battlegrounds Mobile India share several similarities with Chinese PUBG Mobile and hence can have connections with Tencent for its development, as per IGN India report.

Resident Evil Village all Fish Locations

0

Resident Evil Village expands on Biohazard’s semi-open world formula but this time it also introduces hunting elements to the series in a much bigger way. 

After the first boss, you are able to hunt and obtain Fish, Poultry, and Meat ingredients but do not sell them to The Duke, even though you can. 

These ingredients can be used to cook various dishes which increases Ethan’s health, stamina and block durability.

Fish Location 1 & 2 – Castle 

Right after the castle boss fight, you’ll find yourself inside a cave where you’ll come across two fishes, you cannot return to this area so be sure to grab them immediately. 

Similarly, you can find three more fishes outside Lady Dimitrescu’s castle, next to the bridge that is now raised. Simply use a knife to collect them.

Fish Location 3 & 4 – Moreau’s Reservoir

After getting out of Moreau’s tunnel, you’ll have to get onto a boat to get to the other side of the water. Once you disembark, head straight right into the cave instead of going inside the tent to your left since the area won’t be accessible after the cutscene that appears once you enter it.

Once you drain the reservoir, return to the area where you first embarked on the boat (near the treasure chest). Go around the windmill and you can find some fishes at the pool at the bottom.

Finest Fish Location – Where to find Finest Fish in Resident Evil Village

Once you obtain the crank, head to the drawbridge near the Ceremony site where you can lower it using the crank and you’ll come across a boat once again. Head downstream and disembark, take the path to your left (the cave entrance should be to your right), and you’ll find the Finest fish floating inside a pond.

Now that you have all the Fish ingredients, head to The Duke to complete your dishes, provided you’ve enough Meat or Poultry.

How does Game Save work in the new Pokémon Snap?

0

New Pokemon Snap is the latest game in the Pokemon franchise released by Nintendo on 30th April 2021. The New Pokémon Snap is an all-new game inspired by the 1999 Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap. 

Now Available on Nintendo Switch, travel through the Lental Region filled with various islands from dense jungles to waste deserts. Travel from island to island in search of many Pokémons and photograph each of them to build your very own Pokémon Photodex.

While you are busy snapping pictures of unique Pokémons, don’t worry about your snaps as saving your game in New Pokémon Snap is very straightforward. The New Pokémon Snap features an autosave function indicated by a small grey Pokéball icon appearing on the top right of the screen. Any time the icon flashes your progress will be saved. 

The autosave function will work each time you return to the Research Camp after an expedition. You need to wait for Professor Mirror to rate your photographs, then choose any that you’d like to be saved (or re-snapped) and once this is complete, the game will save your progress and move you back to the main Research Camp menu. 

It is important to note that you can’t manually save your progress in New Pokemon Snap while in the middle of an expedition. So make sure to complete each expedition fully and getting your snaps rated before quitting or else you will have to start the whole expedition again. 

Also, note that as with every Nintendo Switch game, putting the console in sleep mode won’t cause you to lose progress while in the middle of an expedition. You can recover from sleep mode mid-way through your expedition and keep playing. Although, closing the game or powering down the console will stop any progress from being saved, so keep your chargers nearby.

Popular Twitch Streamer WillNeff Unbanned After 2 Days

0

Popular Twitch streamer William “WillNeff” Neff was unexpectedly banned from Twitch for watching a clip of Samurai Jack on the Official YouTube channel Adult Swim UK while live streaming on Twitch. 

On May 5th, WillNeff’s Twitch unexpectedly disappeared in the middle of his Film Class streaming session that he regularly hosts. In a series of tweets after his disappearance from Twitch, WillNeff expressed his frustration over the unexpected ban for watching an official video. He explained his side of the story and said:

I just got banned for watching a clip of #samuraijack that’s on YouTube on my stream… k

It’s a copyright claim. For a clip, they put on their own YouTube. I don’t understand at all.

He added that he “doesn’t understand” how viewing a clip on an official YouTube Channel results in a copyright strike and a ban. He contemplated the situation and expressed his frustration about the fact that talking about films will result in getting a copyright strike, even if the clips are publicly available from legit and official sources.

His fans also expressed their distrust and disapproval of Twitch’s action and tweeted to support WillNeff. Some fans quickly pointed out about the recent changes in Twitch’s T&C that now let anyone with an account submit copyright claims and said that it must be some troll trying to take down his channel. While it’s all just speculation, it is also true that many streamers have recently faced random copyright strikes on their old streams and live streams. 

Although the ban was quickly lifted by Twitch in just 2 days, the root of the problem remains and the platform has confirmed no changes in the terms to rectify the same. Even if a ban is short-lived, losing viewers and trust will still hurt streamers a lot.

Twitch accused of racism by hot tub streamer ExoHydraX

0

Hot tub streamer ExoHydraX has accused Twitch of racially discriminating against her when handing out a controversial ban during a stream.

There is no shortage of drama when it comes to hot tub streams, big names of Twitch have publicly despised it for being used as a meta to climb up the ranks. For months now, Twitch has been in hot water regarding the same but they are only keeping a close eye on the situation.

Besides hot tub streams, Hydra is also known for her Call of Duty gameplay. Having recently tried her hand at the hot tub streaming, things turned ugly and was handed a ban. Given there are several streamers who are getting away doing the same, she believes being a woman of color played a part in Twitch’s decision.

“Good luck being black and being a streamer on Twitch,” she said. “I do the exact same content that YT girl do, but yet I get banned but they don’t? Beyond disappointing. THIS ISN’T OK.”.

Even though it is unclear as now that if she was banned solely for broadcasting a hot tub stream or if it was an unintentional wardrobe malfunction on her part that was reported. This is not the first time a streamer was unfairly judged, several streamers suffered a similar fate that goes beyond any race or gender.
