@Andy_VGC Some of these studios have now gone through four or five new parent companies in as many years. I'm assuming this is another dirty trick, just like they did last time. Split the company into multiple, then saddle just one of them with all the debt.

Embracer has announced plans to split into two public companies, with a new spin-off, Fellowship Entertainment, taking over its biggest game IPs, including Tomb Raider, Metro, and Kingdom Come Deliverance. vgc.news/news/embracer-…

@itsLucyPancakes @zachbussey Unlikely. It's more likely someone has access to the accounts, either through the account being compromised, or Twitch themselves being compromised.

@zachbussey Question: could this possibly happen if you ‘authorize access’ to a compromised bots/bad actor bot?

For a second time this year, some Twitch streamers are reporting that their payment method was changed and their most recent payout was hijacked and sent to an unknown payee. It remains unclear how this happens and why communication around account changes hasn't been improved.

@gemmabeepo This is hilarious given that website is practically malware at this point. Just trying to open a fandom wiki page can lock up a browser so bad it takes minutes to close the tab again.

we moved the Subnautica wiki off of Fandom where it’s been for the 12yrs and where I’ve been an admin for like the past 9yrs with the assistance of UWE’s community manager and Fandom staff instantly removed the admin status of all of us lol

Don't sit around looking stupid! We've got a boss to beat and eggs to rescue - we're playing Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and we're aiming for 100%! Grab a cuppa, get cosy, come cheer me on? twitch.tv/ambershee

BREAKING: Game devs, Steam has added 17 new store tags, including "capybaras" and "bullet heaven"! Full changelog below 👇

@SeryCodes @seeeeew I was about to suggest this - would make it a lot less disruptive!

@seeeeew I don't think so.... let me play around with it though.

Sery_Bot feature drop! Sery_Bot can now pin the ad break message when Twitch ad breaks start, so it's obvious when they're running. Unpins after the ad break is over. !adtimerpinned to enable. Off by default. #adtimerpinned" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.sery.bot/commands/ad-ti…

@TheBloodyDrongo I always assumed it was a venture capital siphon; the objective was to trundle along on investment forever whilst enriching the owners but never actually becoming profitable. ...an awful lot of large tech companies do exactly this, some have been doing it for over a decade.

There's a lot about the Stream Elements situation that feels odd to me. It was obvious there was trouble when they started asking for donations this year. But they have skipped several steps of restructuring monetization and layoffs before getting to selling off the service.

She bought the codex. Now nerf the army into the ground, remove its interesting rules for being “too overpowered” and then give those exact same rules to space marines.

Improved my old Page Curl Post Process in UE5! Replaced the Custom Node with Step Node for better optimization and now it works in UEFN too. Smoother and lighter page-turning effect. Fully copy-paste ready from BlueprintUE. blueprintue.com/blueprint/71gs… ページめくりポストプロセスを改善。以前はCustomノードを使っていたが、それを置き換え。UFENでもつかえるように。上のリンクからコピペ可能。 参考になれば幸いです。 #UE5

@PappaPaws @AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal @TwitchSupport Given the number of people who were complaining that their payout method had changed without them knowing a few months back (around the same time as the prime sub spam happened), I do suspect the issue has been on Twitch's side.

@ambershee @AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal @TwitchSupport I think you should get an email if you change your payment method. Other websites do it why can't Twitch. Also, it seems 2FA never worked as he never received an email about a successful login. That is where the initial issue starts

Twitch fraud update @twitch @PayPal

@sonyxperia So if I want my images to be randomly washed out and overexposed, this is what I'll pick...

The new AI Camera Assistant* with Xperia Intelligence brings stories to life. Using subject, scene and weather, it suggests expressive options with adjustments of colour, exposure, bokeh, and lens for breathtaking photos*. sony.co.jp/en/xperia-1m8/… #SonyXperia #Xperia1VIII

@PappaPaws @AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal @TwitchSupport The former should tip you off that something is up, but the lack of the latter is a real mistake on Twitch's part tbh. If the successful log-in e-mail isn't sent, then it's somewhat more likely that Twitch is compromised, not the account.

@PappaPaws @AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal @TwitchSupport If 2FA is working, it forces you to reverify your account when you go to change your payment information even if you're logged in, you'll also get a 'successful log-in notification' to your e-mail. You don't get any notifications if your payout information has been changed.

@OgdenSplendid @Simondarto @RalphBlackburn @michburt_burt @finnsmithjourno @SheffieldStar Ah yes, the great British humour where we all go around *checks notes* buying multiple Nazi flags and SS Officer uniforms and just putting them up for display in our mates houses. Giggles for days.

You clearly have no knowledge of history, the primary UK cultural way of dealing with Nazism was laughing at it. This continued into my youth when mockery of Nazis was common. We didn’t act with the strange “Voldemort” attitude that some people have nowadays. 🎵 Voldemort has only got one ball…. Etc.

Breaking: Reform has suspended new Sheffield councillor Nathaniel Menday, after further social media posts were uncovered by my colleague @finnsmithjourno for the @SheffieldStar which included a huge photo of a Nazi flag with a swastika on it and a photo of Hitler's Mein Kamf.

@zachbussey StreamElements more or less confirmed it this morning: x.com/StreamElements… Whether they'll actually be acquired and what happens after that if they do, is another question.

RE: StreamElements To get everyone on the same page, here's a breakdown on what's happening, because rumors always travel further and faster in a vacuum. Earlier today, there was an initial rumor that StreamElements was laying off all staff and shutting down. I heard this secondhand from a trusted source, but, like any rumor, it was not confirmed; it was merely a starting point. (I personally require at least two independent sources to confirm a story, as individuals can make mistakes or misinterpret the facts, especially if there's a reason that might make it personal.) Since then, this single source has repeated this story to everyone in his StreamElements Sponsorship Discord (not the official one), and as such, it has been shared as a rumor widely across streamer Twitter. Yes, he does work for StreamElements as a Creator Success Manager. So, he does have credibility. At the same time, I have attempted to get secondary confirmation from anyone at StreamElements - but have been unable to. Every person I have spoken to about this (creators, former SE staff, media people) has the same source... the person mentioned above. Now that said, let's talk contributing factors: 1. StreamElements continues to be silent on the matter. 2. They have been slow to pay users in recent weeks. 3. They seem to have been removed from Twitch's Third Party sponsorship offers. 4. They have been soliciting donations to keep the service free. 5. They have had numerous layoffs over the last few years, and more have left of their own volition in the last few months. On the other hand, it's unusual to simply shut down a service with hundreds of thousands of users without first becoming a paid service. Or maybe just shutting down part of the service and focusing wholly on the sponsorship side. Either way, it's unusual. This entire thing is unusual. And while the rumors may end up being true, I don't feel confident saying that yet. As I said, my standard is at least two independent confirmations - more is better. I always prefer being right to being first. That said, given the situation as presented, it may still be worthwhile to ensure any SEPay money is requested, and you may want to download your alerts (or move to an alternative, such as Streamlabs. Disclosure: I have a partnership with them - but an easy link to do so is attached below.) If I learn more before StreamElements addresses it publicly themselves, I will share whatever facts I can confirm.

The water is lovely, why not come along for a dip in the deep end? It's Subnautica 2 launch day! Grab a cuppa, get cosy, and don't forget to pack your swimsuit. twitch.tv/ambershee

@InannaBellVT I've seen a few people hit by the same follow bots recently. Very annoying :/

🚨BE CAREFUL🚨 i got followbotted on stream today and its been happening in other vtuber asmr twitch streams as well turning on shield mode and making followers require verification stopped it! and my amazing mod spent 20 minutes banning all 120 bots

@DonnaG2030 @RasmusJarlov The good news is the people of Venezeula, Greenland, and Canada are capable of speaking for themselves, and the people there have near-unanimously decided that the US should just fuck off already.

@RasmusJarlov You are a paid troll from Denmark. What makes you think you can speak for the people of Venezuela, Greenland, Canada or America? You’re a brainwashed tool for the establishment. Go touch some grass. Let the people decide for themselves. Be gone

I dont think US Americans understand how insanely repulsive this is. They dont even think of it. They dont understand that others love their countries as much as they love their own. They are deluded to think that they are exceptional and better than everybody and that everybody wants to be US Americans. The reality is that this kind of threatening rhetoric of taking other countries makes people's blood boild and makes them hate the USA. The US Americans dont understand it, when they read how hated they are in the rest of the world, but this is why.

Sorry
