An Xbox player was given a year-long ban for recording nude scenes in Baldur's Gate 3.

Any clips you record on your Xbox are uploaded to Microsoft's servers by default and may be automatically flagged as explicit content, as /u/Daddy-Vegas on Reddit found out when he automatically received a combined 390 day (4+21+365) suspension from Xbox Live for three clips he recorded.

His first appeal was apparently rejected, but subsequent appeals led to his ban being lifted after the gaming press picked up the story.

Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers (separate video linked here) have accused Jirard Khalil of lying to viewers about his charity.

Jirard is a YouTuber who runs a channel known as the Completionist, where he plays games to 100% completion and reviews them based on how enjoyable the experience was.

The Open Hand Foundation, which was co-founded by Jirard in 2014, was set up to raise money for dementia charities after his dementia-stricken mother passed away. However, their yearly filings with the IRS suggest that none of this money has been donated to charity.

Jacque (Jirard's brother) responded to Karl's emails to the Open Hand Foundation claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner with and disburse these funds, whereas Jirard claimed that he was only aware that none of the funds had gone out last year, yet is still openly promoting Open Hand on stream and claiming they support the UCSF, Alzheimer's Association, the AFTD and many other charities.

"Expensive Petroleum!"

Adding some context for this video.

Syberbolt is a former Paladins turned gaming variety YouTuber who has done three videos on Phantasy Star 2: New Genesis. This is the third one. (first and second vids linked here for context, but they're very long: about 3 hours overall.)

A TL;DW of the video, to both recap the situation and sum up this video (which is 80 mins long):

• Syberbolt's previous videos exposed the dismal state of PSO2:NG's launch and corruption within the game's community moderators.

• He faced a lot of backlash in the form of harassment and slander due to his last two videos, and suspects that the PSO2 community manager (GWIZ) or other moderators on the official PSO2 Discord server are going so far as to make burner accounts on Discord and Reddit to publicly shit on him.

• The official PSO2 Discord censors Syberbolt's videos, and bans anyone from the server who even mentions him.

• SEGA falsely and unfairly bans his PSO2 account for 'hacking' in retaliation towards the past videos he made criticizing their game and how they were poorly running the community. Why hacking? Because the reason instantly discredits any claims Syberbolt can make of being innocent and allows Sega customer support to fob him off and provide zero evidence of the real reason for the ban. The ban even made it to the frontpage of the /r/SEGA and /r/Asmongold subreddits.

• As a result of the ban, he makes a new account, levels it to max and goes through all the new content so he could create a third video on the subject. The updates are a mix of mediocre new content and really bad system changes to make the game more pay-to-win and grindy.

• During the video, he experiences loads of glitches with the new content including an endless loading screen loop that went unfixed for months, plus another one which forced him to (unsuccessfully) repair, (unsuccessfully) reinstall the game, uninstall/reinstall Windows entirely and even replace his hard drive just to get the game to stop spawning him on an empty map.

• June 2023's update disappoints a huge portion of the community who expected Sega to fix the game's problems, despite them clearly stating that the main focus would be player housing.
