What the fuck kinda post is this. A friend hugged his friend after incredibly heavy news. We did not need a novel on the nuance. Also fuck cancer. Sending all my love to Hachubby
If I may have your attention for JUST a few minutes, this post is VERY important: With so much toxicity being slung about in just about every corner of the internet--especially acknowledging the record levels lately, I'd like to take a moment to draw your attention and highlight what probably is one of the most powerful and incredible things I've seen in the 18+ years (est. Nov. 23rd 2009) I've operated on the #Twitch platform--and with the full weight of my entire professional reputation, I ask @Twitch and @TwitchSupport to please recognize the importance of what I'm about to explain: I've told my friends, I've mentioned it when the topic comes up to my Community, and I've told him myself as a friend many times, though understandably, when someone reminds of you of the good that you do, it's often not the easiest thing to hear--because more often than not, people who are like this, don't see themselves in that light... ...and in this space (RE: Streaming Culture), it's simply a harsh fact that you realize over time, that far too often, people lose themselves in the noise of popularity contests, and as it happens in MOST cases, people become entirely fake themselves, sadly never actually providing anything even remotely close to anything resembling any sort of sustenance, while still using the "friend" label, and it happens all too often, as others who've been here long will acknowledge, and--full-stop, it is one of the harshest life-lessons to learn about operating in this space, nevertheless being true, and with that, almost NOBODY also, regardless of how big or small their following is, regardless of whether or not they acknowledge or call you a friend, just arbitrarily, MOST people in this space, almost never make or take the time away from whatever it is they're engaged in to provide that value / sustenance that should exist organically in meaningful friendships. HOWEVER... In this clip, something powerful and amazing happens as you will see in the most organic of ways, @EsfandTV genuinely and uniquely stands as a proud contrary to that tradition--without needing ever to be asked (an important distinction), and I genuinely view that to be an extraordinarily powerful sentiment--more importantly, he does this organically as is the nature of who he is as a Man, and time and time again, #Esfand proves the authenticity behind that distinction, as literally, every, single, time I see it...I could not be more proud and honored that he IS a friend, because he genuinely is one of the most REAL, down-to-Earth, and sincere people I've ever met in the 18+ years I've been involved in this space as a Creator. Watching this clip, and seeing Esfand ACTUALLY be there as a friend to console @hachubbytv the way a friend and a good Man should, upon her learning that she has tested positive for Cancer is BY FAR, NOT ONLY a perfect example of just who exactly Esfand is--as a human being--beyond a Streamer, but it's also the most REAL, and genuinely BEAUTIFUL THING I've seen happen on this platform in YEARS. Esfand really is the FULL embodiment of the Paladin he so valiantly represents on brand, and with supreme confidence I encourage other colleagues, friends, streamers, influencers, and creators in this space, that it would be in your BEST interest and OVERWHELMINGLY smart of you, if you haven't already, to ABSOLUTELY take notes from his example to learn the power of authenticity in seeing how he chooses to represent himself in breaking that overwhelming disingenuous tradition--and while few, there are others like him (e.g. @CohhCarnage, etc.) despite still very much so actively operating in a culture that almost always does and pushes people to do the exact opposite. This was beautiful, humble, powerful, real, and amazing to see, and I'm so incredibly proud of you Esfand, man-to-man. #HAchubby: While you don't know me, please allow me to share, you are NOT alone in this fight, and while it's clear that you have good, genuine people surrounding you, the future may seem uncertain until you learn more, but please understand, even though you don't know it fully yet, there are many people like myself, who genuinely care, beyond the limitations of their reputation, about you as a human--even in not really knowing you--but from over time, seeing from your actions even dating all the way back to when you were still working in the convenience store, the overwhelming amount of good you provide, making people laugh and in bringing joy to others via your content and community. I hope others join me in sending you the most positive of vibes, prayers, well-wishes, etc. that in every way you need to, you kick Cancer's ass and get better quickly!

One of the kindest, funniest, most giving humans is now gone and it’s devastating. I’ve never seen Eric without a smile. I’ve never seen Eric not excited to share his talent with every single person he interacted with. He’s a legend. ❤️💔

AI sucks and if this is true then shame on everyone involved. But did bro say tween animation is the original AI animation? Dawg.

Will Angus, who appears in “Artificial” as Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei, says Andrew Garfield “nailed” his performance as Sam Altman: “He has this vocal fry in between lines, kind of when he’s thinking, that he really nailed. The walk, the head movements. It was spooky.” variety.com/2026/film/news/a…

Reminds me of the time I had a warlock in retail that I named “Buttcheeks” and one day I logged on and it was something random. I didn’t even get to choose. Blizzard is soft af
𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐀 With the addition of first and last names in World of Warcraft: Forever, we’ve seen some pretty wild names floating around the beta. It looks as if Blizzard will be taking action on some of them. Players with the more offensive names could have their beta access removed.
