Subnautica 2 is back with new multiplayer footage, giving another glimpse into what awaits in the depths (and what might hunt you for lunch).

I gotta say. That totally didn't warrant killing the driver...... Jesus.

Alternate view of the ICE shooting. Based on this, ICE agents attempted to enter her vehicle. The shooting appears to be a retributive response for her not allowing the agent in.

Murder. Cold blooded murder of a US citizen, by the federal government.

I’m very sorry to twitch and to my community, I’ll be taking the time to reflect on my actions after this slip up. I’ll do better and handle cartoon fruit more respectfully going forward. I know what I’ve done is reprehensible but I hope they will accept my humble appeel 😔🍌

[Swadel @Swadelus]

@BikeMan @uncrownedcombat Amen.

Nah. Firstly, not qualified in any way (but thanks for thinking about me) mainly but there is one important reason I could never lead (or help lead) Twitch...

What I would do is not popular. What I would do, people wouldn't like. What I would do would lose money. What I would do is change the system fundamentally. What I do to Twitch would most likely not work.

What does that mean? It means if it were up to me, Twitch would become about video games again. No IRL, No politics, nothing that isn't directly related to gaming culture in some way.

What Twitch was before it started to woo Amazon (with the introduction of IRL, relaxing the broadcast rules, especially around sexual content, etc).

So what I'm saying it, what I would do is not only unfeasible, it's unrealistic to do what I'd want. It's not something I would do. IRL was a Pandoras Box... you can't turn it off. You can't disable it. Hell, at this point I'd argue a huge portion of the platform doesn't even play or care about video games. And that's a one way process. That isn't something you "fix". It's not something me (or anyone) could go in and bring back. And also, to put it bluntly, at this point there are so many IRL/Non-game viewers that it wouldn't be right to turn it off. Twitch isn't about video games anymore. Sure, it has them, but they are no longer the star of the show. They're just another cast member.

Now what's all this mean? It means I (or anyone) shouldn't want to change that. IRL is here to stay on Twitch and it's not going anywhere.

So when people say things like this, my response?

"I'd much rather someone with resources steps up to make the Twitch of old. A streaming site FOR gamers, BY gamers. Bring in a team of experienced industry leaders that made streaming what it is (@djWHEAT, @Fwiz, etc) and make a board of leaders that understands that the focus is casters, games and viewers. THAT'S IT. Keep overhead as low as possible in the company to keep all the splits as high as possible. Rebuild paradise in a new format."

That's the future I'd like to see. IRL and all non-game content having a consistent home that doesn't go anywhere (the current Twitch) and the core gamers of Twitch having a chance to return to that magical place we used to live in. A place where everyone we see and chat with shares our passion. A place for GAMERS.

Would this be financial feasible? I think so. A streamlined company would allow for higher sub splits, encouraging casters. I feel many game casters would also flock to the site as it could be built with all the same features of Twitch but more gaming-angled widgets. On top of that, the lack of IRl/Non-gaming means a beefy enforcement team would make the platform FAAAAR more attractive to advertisers (assuming the numbers would be anywhere close lol) in terms of content and, especially in gamedev cases, making sure the audience that sees your advertisement actually wants your products). Basically, yeah, it would need some love but I absolutely think a new platform would be viable. Over time.

Hell, Bezos could fund this himself and just make it a sister site to Twitch. 🤣

But yeah, nothing in this tweet is new. I feel like a lot of us have felt this way over the years. We kinda feel like we lost our home. And we want to go home.
