Yesterday, Twitch streamer Brandon “Atrioc” Ewing issued a tearful apology during his livestream after he accidentally revealed that he had deepfake pornography of popular female Twitch streamers open on his computer. The video of his apology—in which he claims to have clicked an ad on PornHub because he was curious—quickly gained traction online. Twitter users, in a misguided attempt to “draw attention” to the controversy, shared screenshots of the original stream, which signal boosted the porn site and its contents. This made matters worse for the affected women, who learned they were on the deepfake site only because of Ewing’s…

When FaZe Clan, an esports company turned gaming lifestyle agency, went public last year it claimed to be worth $700 million. Just six months later it’s worth just a fraction of that. Whether it’s the controversy constantly swirling around some of its members or the fact that the esports bubble has finally popped, nobody wants to buy into FaZe Clan it seems, potentially making one of the biggest bets in gaming a complete bust.

Dead Space’s remake treatment has produced a piece of gory greatness, some Steam Deck wobbles notwithstanding. Vid bud Liam touched on the visual upgrades in his review, but since it’s been shaking my bones even harder than the original did, I wanted to dive even deeper into the mottled flesh of the modernised Dead Space to examine how all those new polygons and effects aren’t just there to please nerds. They do, in fact, make the remake scarier. Read more

When we were young, hale, and nomadic, roaming the steppes and plains? Those were our glory days. At least we can relive them via a recent video from a streamer called boesthius, who undertook the Civilisation 6 “no settle: domination challenge (opens in new tab)” to win a match of Civ without founding any cities of his own.For me, that’s already impossible, but boesthius decided to…

Whomst among us hasn’t dreamt of somehow being transported to a magical world, where there are talking unicorns, and you can throw lightning and control plants because you are this universe’s very special hero? Such is the fate of Frey, who falls through a portal into Athia and finds that world in mortal peril. Although if I were here I’d be a bit disappointed. It’s all very well being able to zoom around doing magic parkour everywhere, but there isn’t much to do or many places to go. Not a single talking unicorn to be seen. Forspoken is somehow both…

The longer you own a laptop, the less charge its built-in battery will hold. You could buy one of the best ultrabooks which can go for 12 to 14 hours unplugged and after a couple of years of regular use, it might only endure for 9 hours or less. As your laptop goes through more charge cycles over the years, its battery health gets worse.Fortunately, for most laptops made in the last 5 to 10 years, there are replacement batteries available for $100 or less, and service manuals that explain how to replace the built-in unit on your own.

Humans are never satisfied to just take a word and use it, instead we like to put our own spin on things. Some of us even become writers. “Lol” is a good example of an ensemble of letters with an ever-changing meaning, which only gets more convoluted when human sincerity as interpreted on the internet is added to the perceptive stew of understanding.Most of us are fairly across the modern usage of the term lol.
