Sure, but you can sub to multiple channels on Twitch. Backing a game is kind of like Kickstarter. You do it to support the devs, and continue progress on the game. Then there are commissions. I've seen people pay for mods, and to get them to add quests, or NPCs, to the mod. That's part support...

Yes, although in my case I was talking about platforms. You can only really watch one stream at a time, and when it comes to live, Twitch is king. With games it's a little different. People can play multiple games, so it's not really winner takes all...

If you mean HS, I'm not sure how. You get free stuff, or you did. Now it requires way more effort than I'm prepared to put in to get anything at all. It's a different guy, I just thought it was funny. Also, Kick is new, so it's an uphill battle for any new player to take out the established...

It doesn't seem like Kick watchers spend much. Throwing a Prime sub on Twitch to someone is low friction, but getting people to spend money on a new platform is another matter.

Dead again. Kick only lets you monetize if you have 25 subs, and that didn't happen.

There are more effective ways to prevent 160s GAs from taking place, like reducing the cost and XP. The price is set at the time of GA creation. I would argue it's more unfair to waste everyone's time and silver by not completing them, if that were the case. While that's possible, I have also...

Yes. Ubi make claiming their freebies a pain as usual. Previous freebies required either browsing on mobile, or reducing the window size to force the site to go into mobile mode in order to claim. This time it is requiring you to launch the app, and possibly start to install the game. You also...

I won both here. No great loss.

It depends. I played Wolfenstein 3D, and it was okay, but it seemed to me like they chose first person to be lazy about animating the player. It was also completely flat. Then everyone thought Doom was great, and I didn't like it at all. You couldn't look up and down, even though enemies were at...

GTA V SP story was pretty average. The graphics, performance, and general mechanics were good, although a downgrade in many cases from IV. They followed the money. Instead of people being invested in the SP experience, which was not as good as SA, they found people liked playing with friends...

You rarely get a key. You get 125s almost all of the time. Very occasionally you'll get a key or 2c credit. The message saying you won a "key" is misleading and should be replaced. It should simply say "challenges won" to avoid confusing and disappointing noobs.

Japan doing perfectly normal Japanese things.

There's a giant banner in the control center.

I think the reason is that they do the Discord polls manually, as in someone sets them up to start and end at certain times, and since it's five days a week, it's likely done during working hours. They could take DST into account and have it happen on UTC, but in this case, they chose not to...

UTC does not have DST. Also, not all regions have it, and those that do start it at different times. So no, they don't take into account where you happen to live, and change their reset based on that. That said, they did delay Discord polls recently by an hour.
