US Senator Proposes Prison Time For Twitch Streamers Broadcasting Copyrighted Material

A recent “must-pass” omnibus bill proposed by the US Government might be a cause of concern for the world of Twitch streamers, as one controversial measure included in the bill would face Twitch streamers with jail time if they receive multiple DMCA strikes.

According to several reports, this measure was proposed by US Senator Thom Tillis. While it would generally be difficult for a proposal like this to pass on its own, being included as a part of the omnibus spending bill leaves plenty of room for uncertainty.

In case the bill is passed, any streamer broadcasting a song, album, or unauthorized video clip in a commercial setting will face a felony offense which can turn into a possible prison sentence.

According to a Protocol report, the proposal is facing some serious opposition from up to 18 organizations and tech groups.

For now, streamers can continue their routines as usual till a conclusion is reached, which shouldn’t take very long.

The Congress has confirmed that the bill must be passed before the government’s shutdown deadline on December 11th, which is when the fate of the proposal will be decided.

Best Graphics Settings for Cyberpunk 2077 For Higher FPS

Cyberpunk, without a shadow of a doubt, is the most anticipated game of the year. Even after countless delays from CD Projekt, the freshly launched game has its own fair share of issues. Let’s address the elephant in the room, the optimization for Cyberpunk 2077 is far from ideal, and if you are thinking something is wrong with your PC, chances are, all your friends are thinking the same. Let’s check out the best Cyberpunk 2077 graphics settings for higher FPS.

There are a ton of graphic settings to choose from, and keeping them between medium and low will most likely get you past the 60fps mark. Other than these settings, some out of the game optimization might help your case as well.

Turn down the Cyberpunk 2077 graphics settings mentioned below to low/medium depending on how beefy your system is:

  • Every shadow setting
  • Textures
  • Detail
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Volumetric Clouds
  • Lighting Settings

Pushing them to the low will ensure your PC gets the smoothest experience at the cost of significant quality loss.

Make sure your pc meets the following requirements just to keep up with 60FPS in 1080p low settings. But looking at the state of optimization, this hardware will not suffice. However, other than playing at the lowest possible settings, try clean installing the graphics drivers, which at this point is labeled as a universal remedy.

  • Core i5-3570K or FX-8310
  • GTX 780 3GB (or RX 470 4GB)
  • 8GB RAM
  • 3GB VRAM
  • 70GB storage
  • Windows 7 or Windows 10 64-bit
  • Target: 1080p Low

Cyberpunk 2077 to get a new epilepsy warning message as devs works on a permanent fix

After facing criticism over the absence of any in-game epilepsy warnings, CD Projekt Red finally announced a temporary fix rolling out before release, while devs work on a permanent solution.

Even before its release, Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be having a hard time as several fans seem to be offended by CD Projekt Red’s decision of not allowing reviewers to share gameplay footage before the official game launch. Since many reviewers claim the game is filled with several game-breaking bugs, the absence of gameplay footage seems like a deliberate decision by CD Projekt Red to minimize the outrage over bugs before the game launch.

Although the outrage over bugs was already hot, the topic of several areas in-game triggering epileptic triggers added more fuel to the already heated debate. Of particular note, a cutscene of the game’s “braindance” feature, which actually caused a game reviewer, Liana Ruppert to experience a serious seizure became the talk.

Game Informer editor Liana Ruppert published her review of the game yesterday where she talked about several areas in the upcoming game that could trigger epileptic triggers for sensitive players. Although it is common for games to feature such epilepsy sensitive parts, most of these game comes with an in-game message warning sensitive players about flashing patterns or lights that might result in a seizure. But in the case of Cyberpunk 2077, other than the included “Seizure Warning” buried deep in a 6,500-plus-word EULA that few if any players will ever read, no other in-game warning message or setting is present.

Cyberpunk 2077 Seizure Warning reads as follows:

Cyberpunk 2077 may contain flashing lights and images, which may induce epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your household has an epileptic condition, please consult your doctor before playing Cyberpunk 2077. If you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions while playing, immediately discontinue use and consult your doctor.

CD Projekt Red was quick to respond and announced that it’s working on adding a new epilepsy warning to Cyberpunk 2077 as a temporary fix for launch day while a more permanent solution is worked on and implemented as soon as possible.

They offer a good amount of eddies for jobs that don’t take much time.

A Hired Gun

Much like the name suggests, these missions involve killing a certain target with a bounty on their head. Similar to regular quests, these missions offer eddies in exchange for assassinating a target. There are several people in the city who will wish to hire a gun, which sometimes includes to Night City Police Department. Most targets are heavily guarded and offer a good amount of eddies once the assassination is done.

Selling Loot

During the stay in Night City, players will pick up a lot of valuable items that will be of no use to them, but there are vendors willing to trade it in exchange for eddies. A simple trade for items that you picked up during missions, in exchange for eddies, it can’t get any easier. Drop points are spread throughout the city where such trades take place. Vendors will offer eddies in exchange for Guns, Gears, and Valuables.

Craft and hack access points

Other than valuables, players will also come across raw materials that can be crafted into valuable and which vendors offer good money for. They can be sold across all drop points in the city. Other than crafting, players will encounter several access points vulnerable to hacking, where players can transfer banks from those bank accounts onto their own.

Alinity and 100 Thieves’ The Mob Engage in Heated Twitter Feud

Streamer and content creator Alinity has been involved with a bunch of controversies in the past, the most notable of which is the time when she threw her cat during a livestream on her Twitch channel and was accused of animal cruelty. Following the incident, she was cleared by the Saskatoon SPCA. However, she claims that it still continues to haunt her to this day.

After members of 100 Thieves’ content creation group The Mob posted tweets commenting on the rising “toxicity” in the world of streaming, Alinity added a few comments of her own that sparked a reaction from the other side, which in turn converted into a heated Twitter feud.

https://twitter.com/Froste/status/1335999107647688704?s=20

“But you didnt seem to mind toxicity when mob members made frequent tweets over the span of a year sh*tting on me and sending harassment,” Alinity said, replying to the above-mentioned tweets by 100 Thieves’ Froste, “Remember my birthday post with a thousand hate messages?”

Froste responded (now deleted) to Alinity’s accusations with a tweet of his own, implying that Alinity was bringing up the situation for views.

“If impressions and viewer counts are low just throw your cat against a wall again, don’t try to come at me, sweetie,” he said.

Alinity then attached a few screenshots of 100 Thieves’ Classy mocking her on the incident, claiming that she “got made fun of on the daily by a hate mob.”

“And the hate mob has way more people on their side, to the point where you can’t do anything but accept the harassment and block them” she continued.

It’s unclear how long will the heated exchange of tweets between the two sides continue, but it has undoubtedly gained some serious traction in the streaming community.
