Last week, Twitch finally responded to controversy surrounding the so-called “hot tub meta” by clarifying its rules and creating a new section called Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches. Given that many complaints about hot tub streams stemmed from the idea that they represented a “loophole” in Twitch’s rules, it has certainly been something to watch people cannon ball into the new section and immediately stretch the definition of “hot tub stream”—or even just “stream”—to its breaking point.

By Dom Peppiatt, Monday, 15 February 2021 16:56 GMT The Witcher 3 is over five years old now, and even though it’s getting on (in ‘game years’) people are still finding new ways to celebrate its most iconic moments.One of the game’s most iconic moments, without a doubt, is the Geralt bath scene – you know the one. It’s where our gruff, often mono-syllabic hero takes off his armor and enjoys a nice long soak in a big ol’ tub in Kaer Morhen. Refreshing.It’s been meme’d to high hell, of course, but many of you are still finding a laugh…

By Alex Calvin, Tuesday, 3 November 2020 17:58 GMT It looks like the upcoming Xbox Series X version of The Witcher 3 loads very quickly.That’s going by a video posted by YouTube user rubhen925 – as spotted by the @_XboxNews Twitter account – which shows the silver-haired and incredibly sexy Geralt zapping from one part of The Witcher 3’s world to another in just seconds. On current hardware, there’s normally a loading screen before the player is transported to another area of the world.The video is apparently of a version of Witcher 3 without optimisation, with the improved loading times…

I was today years old when I discovered that The Witcher 3 has Twilight fan fiction – and CD Projekt Red is Team Jacob. A Reddit user named herrick17 recently shared a post titled, “I think I found a Twilight reference lol.” At first I was sceptical – “think” is not the strongest word in the dictionary.But then I had a look, and, as it turns out, it’s not just a reference. It is 100%, unequivocally, absolutely Twilight fan fiction. Check out the screenshot below, which shows a passage from an in-game book called “Moribundia: The Vampire’s Last Likeness.”“Thereupon Isabella…

I’ve played hundreds of hours of The Witcher 3, read A Song Ice and Fire at least two times through, saw Longclaw in both, and never for a second thought to connect them. It wasn’t until I saw it on Reddit that I finally realized: Geralt of Rivia can get Longclaw! Or at least a sword with the same name as it – I’m not quite sure Valyrian steel exists in The Witcher 3, but surely Viziman steel is close enough.Check out the photo below, which a Reddit user named DirtyDirtbike shared online earlier today.+10% chance to dismember? That’s very…
