Hate:

Good afternoon TOC,

Upon listening to the daily update, I noticed when talking about Pokémon, not only was there an incorrect pronunciation, but it was an incorrect pronunciation of the God Pokémon, arguably the most important Pokémon in the universe. This is extremely offensive to the community and I won’t have it! Arceus is pronounced are-see-us, not the blunder aRkEuS. Thank you for your time and concern - Tyranizam

A streamer is staying live for as long as people keep subscribing

Twitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren has been live since March 14th, and today marked the fourth continuous day of his broadcast. The reason? Every time someone subscribes to his channel, it adds 10 seconds to the amount of time he plans to remain live. In other words: Ahgren is running an uncapped subathon because he’ll stay up as long as viewers keep subscribing.

Since he’s one of the most popular streamers on Twitch — with 1.8 million followers as of this writing — it means Ahgren’s going to be live for at least a couple more days. (As of this writing, he’s got another 57 hours to go.) Yesterday, when he went to sleep for the night in his red racecar bed, he even managed to become the top streamer on Twitch.

This isn’t actually against Twitch’s TOS. A Twitch spokesperson emailed The Verge a statement, clarifying that they, too, have been watching the stream pretty closely and maintaining that Ahgren isn’t violating any of their rules. “Our Community Guidelines do not prohibit sleeping on stream, however we expect streamers to take proper precautions to ensure their stream and chat are being monitored and attended to,” wrote a spokesperson.

While he’s been awake, Ahgren’s been streaming games with friends; while he’s asleep, his mods have been running videos chosen by the community. As Nathan Grayson wrote in Kotaku: “It’s basically a big, bleary-eyed slumber party where everyone’s just vibing.”

Deviant - We have seen more and more of this recently. At what point do we sort of jump the shark and just start seeing 24/7 streamers become a regular thing?

Twitch implements changes to help streamers with DMCA crackdown

We all know and have felt the pain of the DMCA crackdowns on Twitch. We have bemoaned the lack of help twitch provided and now so so many months later they have heard the call.

Twitch acknowledged the issue late last year, but it seemed like nothing was being done about it. The streaming platform is now implementing some tools that will address the ongoing problems with DMCA strikes. Streamers will now be able to track DMCA notice on their dashboard, delete VODs in batches up to 20 at a time, and even delete all of their VODs with a single click.

These changes will ensure that streamers are informed about the DMCA issues immediately and given the chance to properly address it before getting a suspension.

In addition to these changes, Twitch is now allowing streamers to unpublish VODs directly within the Video Producer. That means they no longer have to download the videos first. The VODs that streamers must address will be made clearer as well, so that content creators are aware of the specific videos need their attention.

Even though this will hopefully keep streamers from getting suspended without warning, it doesn't address streamers' continued frustrations with Twitch's limited music options due to DMCA guidelines. Many streamers are upset that they can't play certain songs on stream. Others are scared of live streaming outside of their home in case a song is suddenly played in public and then gets them in trouble on Twitch.

Rogue - Is this enough? Or is it to little to late?

YouTuber FlightReacts responds after girlfriend shuts down Twitch stream during argument

FlightReacts is one of YouTube’s biggest reaction channels. Boasting over 4.6 million subscribers, Flight frequently posts reaction videos to NBA games and, more recently, has focused on developing his music career.

Alongside his music and reaction videos, Flight is a big gaming streamer, who predominantly plays NBA 2K. He has also regularly played Fortnite duos with girlfriend Andrea ‘Dreyahh’ Gonzalez, a Fortnite streamer herself with nearly 60,000 Twitch followers.

However, the couple were in the spotlight for the wrong reasons on March 19 when Flight was midway through streaming a reaction to rapper DDG’s new single, Rule #1. Flight and Dreyahh got into an argument which resulted in Dreyahh switching the stream off

Fans were immediately concerned for Flight, who became a father for the first time on March 3. Concern turned to confusion when Dreyahh later explained that, despite their feud, the couple was still together.

However flight tweeted

Finally got her outta my crib after 5+ hrs being held hostage she wouldn’t leave don’t believe shit that was posted I’m still single, video explaining everything ASAP, keep that same energy for ones talking down!

From the verge

Nvidia implemented a special system to reduce the hash rate of Ethereum mining on its new RTX 3060 graphics card last month. It was supposed to limit mining performance by around 50 percent, but multiple reports now claim cryptominers have bypassed the protection.

Japanese site PC Watch first revealed that Nvidia’s protections can be bypassed without needing to modify a driver or BIOS. ComputerBase has since confirmed PC Watch’s report and revealed that Nvidia’s latest 470.05 beta driver is automatically unlocking performance for most RTX 3060 owners. Andreas Schilling, an editor at Hardwareluxx, has also backed up these findings.

The beta driver appears to unlock Ethereum mining performance across a variety of RTX 3060 cards, which was likely not what Nvidia had planned for its test drivers. The 470.05 driver is designed for developers to test the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) performance and new features like OpenCL 3.0 support.

Nvidia originally restricted RTX 3060 mining performance in an attempt to steer cryptominers away from purchasing the cards. Nvidia is offering a new Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) for Ethereum miners instead. The beta driver bypass of Ethereum mining performance will certainly make the cards more attractive to cryptominers now.

Deviant - Shocking I know that this has already come to an end. I just figured it would be the community that found the exploit, not NVIDIA themself. What should be NVidias next move?

Fortnite fans think The Rock is The Foundation after Instagram post

Fortnite has had crossovers with just about every franchise you can imagine, and now fans think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be the next addition to the game. According to some conspiratorially minded Redditors, The Rock could be behind one of the season’s most important but mysterious characters known as The Foundation.

The speculation first started when Fortnite’s season 6 cutscene was released. In the cutscene, Agent Jones is met by a mysterious new character called The Foundation. But outside of his role in this season’s story, some fans noticed that he bears more than a passing resemblance to The Rock. Matteoiceman on Reddit even put the two side by side just to make the similarities extra clear.

While the looks alone might have been enough to fuel Redditors, The Rock himself added to the speculation with an Instagram post on March 16, the day Fortnite season 6 started. In the post, The Rock says that March 16 is a very important day and that he wanted to be sure to post this because of how much it meant to certain people — though he doesn’t actually say who those people are.

Rogue - if this is true. This would have to be THE MOST ELECTRIFYING CAMEO they could get. Where does Fortnite go from here?

Batman Arkham successor Gotham Knights delayed to 2022

Gotham Knights, the open-world cooperative action game starring Red Hood, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Robin (but not Batman), won’t make its previously scheduled 2021 release date. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced a delay for the game on Friday, pushing the title to 2022.

“We are giving the game more time to deliver the best possible experience for players,” Warner Bros. said in a statement posted to the game’s official Twitter account. “Thank you to our amazing fans for your tremendous support of Gotham Knights. We look forward to showcasing more of the game in the coming months.”

WBIE announced Gotham Knights last summer at the DC Fandome event. The game was pitched as a co-op action-adventure set in Gotham City, which no longer has its famous protector, Batman. In the game, Bruce Wayne has supposedly perished in a massive explosion, but in a message to his surviving comrades, he tells them how to carry on in his absence. The game’s antagonists will be the Court of Owls, a generations-long secret society made up of Gotham’s wealthiest families.

Stump - This is one I am actually bummed about a delay. How do you feel about what we now know about the story for the game?

Superman's Son Would Have Become Batman in Zack Snyder's Third Justice League Movie

Zack Snyder has revealed that he planned to have Superman and Lois Lane’s son become Batman in the third and final chapter of the Justice League trilogy.

According to Vanity Fair, in Snyder’s planned storyline, Batman would have sacrificed himself during the course of the third Justice League film as part of a plan to ensure Darkseid is defeated. Years later, Superman would bestow the responsibilities of Batman on a new character.

“It was going to be Lois and Superman’s son,” Zack Snyder told Vanity Fair. “He doesn’t have any powers, and then he was going to end up being the new Batman.”

“Twenty years later, on the anniversary of [Batman’s] death, they take young Bruce Kent down to the Batcave and they say, ‘Your Uncle Bruce would’ve been proud if you did this,’” he added.

Towards the end of Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, it is shown that Lois is pregnant with Superman’s child, and so the wheels for this story are already in motion. Of course, it is unlikely that the sequels will ever be made.

In Snyder’s original plans for the trilogy, Lois Lane would have been killed by Darkseid in the second film. Superman, who had tasked Batman with her protection, loses the will to fight in his grief. Darkseid would have used this opportunity to control Superman and turn him into a villain. In order to prevent this dark future, the Justice League would have manipulated time in a third movie to ensure Batman died instead of Lois, which would have ensured the defeat of Darkseid and the birth of Superman’s son.

Deviant - How do you feel about Superman and Lois having a child who becomes the batman?

Ryan Reynolds Is Watching Green Lantern For First Time In Honor Of Snyder Cut

Ryan Reynolds announces he'll watch Green Lantern for the first time in preparation for Zack Snyder's Justice League. Prior to headlining the popular Deadpool movies, Reynolds attempted to lead a different superhero franchise via Green Lantern. Unfortunately, Green Lantern was widely panned and bombed at the box office, grossing only $219.8 million worldwide against a $200 million production budget. Due to those results, any planned sequels never came into fruition, and Green Lantern became one of the most infamous comic book adaptations in recent memory. In the decade since its release, Reynolds has openly mocked it several times.

Even though Reynolds has found the humor in Green Lantern's shortcomings (most notably with Deadpool 2's post-credits scene), he's never actually watched the finished movie. Back in 2018, Reynolds admitted he's never seen the final Green Lantern cut, only seeing a "late stage rough cut" during post-production. After all these years, there seemed to be little reason for Reynolds to sit down and watch Green Lantern, but as he awaits the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League, he's finally going to check out his foray into the DC universe.

Rogue  - Reynolds actually came to not hate the movie as much as he let on. I personally always felt the theatrical version was bad with the director's cut being ok. How do you feel about the actor trashing the movie without ever seeing it?

King of the Hill Returns? Animated Revival Series in 'Hot Negotiations'

King of the Hill may be the latest animated sitcom to return to the air. Writer Brent Forrester has revealed creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are currently in "hot negotiations" to revive the popular Fox series.

As spotted by Tech Radar, Forrester teased the possible revival during a Reddit AMA session. While negotiations are still underway, Forrester revealed the plan is to reintroduce Hank Hill and family 15 years after the events of the series finale.

"I am sure Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will murder me for sharing this but... HELL YES," Forrester writes. "They are in hot negotiations to bring back King of the Hill. The Trump administration made it suddenly very relevant again. The characters have all aged 15 years. The project is sooooo good. Okay I've said too much :)"

It's unclear whether the revival series would air on Fox or shift to become a streaming exclusive on Hulu or Disney+. Presumably, most of the surviving voice cast would return, including Judge as both Hank Hill and Jeff Boomhauer, Kathy Najimy as Peggy Hill, Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble and Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive. However, given the time jump involved, it's possible the role of Hank's son Bobby will be recast. It also remains to be seen how the revival might handle Hank's niece Luanne and her husband Lucky, as voice actors Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty have both passed away.

Stump - Boy I tell ya what. I would love to see how these characters would have progressed until now.
