The Australian Senate inquiry into micro-transactions heard a call for "serious consideration" to restrict games with loot boxes to "players of legal gambling age" yesterday. The authors of a large scale study presented their findings, strongly supporting a previous study that claimed loot boxes were psychologically akin to gambling.
In February, aspiring streamer Mystic hit a breaking point. When her kids started going to school, she had decided to try to turn streaming on Twitch from a hobby into a career.
At first, she only streamed during the day while they were away, but as time went on, she became obsessed with keeping her numbers up. She started streaming at night, too, after they went to sleep. Self-care went out the window. Streaming and family — those were the only things she had time for.
One day, right before a stream, she had a panic attack. All the pressures and unattended wants and needs boiled over. She quit streaming shortly after.

This dude tries far too hard to be funny.
Urgh, yea.
lmao I just said exactly that on his youtube page :/
it's like he's trying to do a stand up routine about his errors in a forced voice which reeks of trying too hard.

Guys. Of all Critikal's videos use this style of humour.
Many people seem to enjoy it so obviously he's doing something right.
Are all his fans Americans ...?
To each their own I suppose - but in this this case, not funny here.
Should of patched your game buddy.

I find this amusing, not brilliantly comedic, but amusing. I'm not apologizing.
