Ninja Should Stream With Women
During a recent Samsung event, Twitch megastar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins said he purposely avoids streaming with “female gamers.” The site’s number-one streamer said that he believes if he invited women on his channel, the gossip mill would immediately begin cranking out videos suggesting that Ninja is in romantic relationships with them.
On the one hand, he’s probably right about that. On the other hand, when you’re the most popular streamer on earth, everything you do has consequences.

I still remember when it was an accepted argument that gaming was an antisocial activity. "Go outside nerds," was the common style of refrain you'd hear on a school playground. It's the kind of argument that still gets trotted out today from people who have little experience of gaming, and even less appreciation for the complexity of games.

Brought a smile to my face, (watching at work) can just see her excitment from her expression on her face.
This is great, technology can do so much good. After my mum had a stroke her vision got pretty bad so it's hard for her to read, we had to hunt down large-print books. Not so easy, especially for books like the trashy romance novels she loves; they usually only get released in one or two prints and that's it. So I bought her a Kindle for Christmas last year, suddenly every book is available for her in a large font with the click of a few buttons on Amazon (which fortunately is simple enough that even my dad can do it).
