Just a day later, on June 16, the automated account @StreamerBans confirmed RaKai's second suspension from the Amazon-owned platform. Attempts to access his channel now display a message citing violations of Twitch's Terms of Service or community guidelines. The circulating clip has intensified scrutiny over Twitch's enforcement of real-life conduct during streams.
RaKai acknowledged the situation during a Just Chatting broadcast hours before the ban was made official. He explained he couldn't go live because Twitch had launched an investigation. In the clip, he remarked: 'I thought I was over… I wasn't able to stream yesterday because they needed to do an investigation or some bulls**t.'
Public reaction on platforms like Reddit and X has been swift. One user on r/LivestreamFail questioned the platform's delay in taking action, while others criticized RaKai's behavior. Meanwhile, some speculated whether Kai Cenat might intervene on his friend's behalf.
As of writing, RaKai has not issued a formal statement regarding his suspension. His Twitch channel remains suspended, and the platform has not commented on the duration of the ban.

Elden Ring Nightreign leak hints at Deep of Night ranked mode with new relic rewards
A new Elden Ring Nightreign leak has suggested the arrival of an unreleased ranked survival mode named Deep of Night, discovered by dataminers in the game's files. According to Reddit user Administrator, Deep of Night differs from the existing Expeditions in Nightreign, which require players to survive two in-game days in Limgrave before battling a selected final boss. Instead, the leaked mode tasks Nightfarers with surviving for as long as possible, earning a score based on the 'Depth' they reach. The mode is described as competitive, with skill-based matchmaking and ELO integration, although no in-game examples of this system have been found. Datamined text indicates: 'Targets cannot be chosen, and difficulty increases with depth. Victory increases your rating, allowing you to proceed unto ever greater depths.' Alongside the new gameplay challenge, the leak references Deep Relics. These are distinct from standard Relics, offering stronger buffs for a chosen Nightfarer but with drawbacks to offset their power. One example shown includes three buffs alongside 'Continuous HP Loss' as a penalty. Up to three Deep Relics can be equipped in new dedicated slots alongside existing Relics, but their effects are reportedly active only during Deep of Night runs. As with any datamined content, there is no guarantee that the mode will be released in its current form. FromSoftware may alter or remove the feature before an official announcement. It is also unclear whether Deep of Night will be a free update or form part of previously announced DLC. For now, players can continue exploring Nightreign's current challenges, including its Everdark Sovereigns, while awaiting confirmation on whether this competitive mode will make its way into the game.

Antony Starr bids farewell to Homelander as Boys final season completes filming
Antony Starr has shared an emotional farewell to his role as Homelander following the completion of filming for the fifth and final season of Amazon's The Boys. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Starr called portraying the morally complex and corrupt superhero 'the highlight of my career' and reflected on the series' six-year run. Starr said he waited before posting to 'let things settle' and process the show's end, describing The Boys as a 'juggernaut' that rarely stopped production except during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood strikes. He praised the series for carving out a unique place in television, saying it 'lives in its own lane,' and then extended his appreciation to the Canadian crew, production team, cast, Amazon, Sony, and all who contributed to bringing the show to life. Reflecting on playing Homelander — the dangerously powerful and egotistical leader of The Seven — Starr credited the role with giving him the opportunity to 'discover and push boundaries' in unexpected ways. He also thanked showrunner Eric Kripke, calling him a 'co-parent' of the character and adding, 'We created a monster, sir. And I will miss him, and you.' Starr closed his message with gratitude for the fans, calling them the 'life blood' of the series and promising the final season will be worth the wait. Signing off as Homelander for the last time, he wrote, 'We cooked for the last time. Can't wait to show you what we made.' The Boys, which premiered in 2019, has earned commercial success and critical acclaim, including eight Emmy nominations. The final season is slated for release next year, while spinoff Gen V will premiere its second season on September 17.

Asmongold discusses possible six-month streaming break due to family and workload pressures
Popular streamer Asmongold has said he is considering taking a break from streaming for up to six months, citing his father's declining health and the demands of maintaining a consistent broadcast schedule. Speaking during an August 2025 livestream, the creator responded to a video from fellow influencer Tectone, which featured an earlier clip where Asmongold described himself as 'fried' from streaming obligations and managing his father's medical care. 'It's not something I've entirely decided on, but I'm being pulled in a lot of different directions,' he explained. 'I have no idea what's gonna happen. For me, there's a lot of fatigue that sets in.' The 35-year-old streamer said he had previously been a caretaker for his mother for eight years, and is now supporting his father, whose recovery will still require long-term assistance. Asmongold confirmed that no decision has been finalised regarding the length or timing of any potential hiatus. However, many viewers encouraged him to prioritise family. Some suggested he hire an in-home caretaker, but he noted that his father preferred his direct involvement. Messages from fans urged him to spend quality time with his father, with some recommending activities such as camping or fishing. Although Asmongold has taken short breaks from streaming before, a six-month absence would be unusual given his current status as the most-watched streamer in the world, achieved through multi-streaming on both Kick and Twitch. The streamer has built a following since his early days as a World of Warcraft-focused content creator, later expanding into broader commentary. Whether he steps away temporarily or continues his schedule, his audience has expressed support for his decision-making during this period.
