What did Northernlion say about Blue Archive? Streamer's controversial Blue Archive comment sparks backlash
Ryan 'Northernlion' Letourneau, one of Twitch's most unfiltered voices, has once again stirred up social media, this time for calling out
Blue Archive
, the gacha RPG by Nexon. While casual viewers might've expected a chill review or an ironic first impressions stream, what they got instead was a spicy rant that's now being clipped, memed, and dissected all over X.
Northernlion
calls out Blue Archive's "dark energy" on stream
It all kicked off when Northernlion casually explained why he wouldn't be downloading Blue Archive, and let's just say, it wasn't about system requirements.

Describing the game's Steam page as having an 'insanely evil aura,' the 36-year-old streamer didn't hold back. In his words, the screenshots made it look like 'a Super Nintendo-style auto-battler' with cute, chibi-style characters firing off attacks. But the real kicker? The
reviews.
'Every single one was horny,'
he said.
'It has a dark energy emanating from the Store page.'
He bushed it off, but also made it clear:
'I will not be interfacing with it.'
Social media reacts
It didn't take long for the clips to surface on X (formerly Twitter). A 36-second video of Northernlion's rant racked up hundreds of thousands of views within hours.
But it wasn't just laughs and memes,
Blue Archive
fans had thoughts. Many of them. Most users completely agreed with him, pointing out how
Blue Archive
's Steam community can feel off-putting to newcomers.

Northernlion responds: 'We're on the same team!'
With the anime side of the internet practically breathing down his neck, Northernlion addressed the situation again in another short video, this time, more peace offering than a roast.
'I married a weeb, man!'
he laughed.
'I go upstairs, she's watching anime, she's playing gacha... We're on the same team.'
While he admitted that sometimes he speaks too quickly or bluntly, he stood by the sentiment: the Steam page just gave off a vibe.
So... will Northernlion ever play Blue Archive?
As of now? Highly unlikely. While the controversy seems to have simmered down, Northernlion's stance on the game hasn't changed. His concern isn't just about the game itself; it's about the
vibe
. And whether that 'evil aura' is real or just a clever joke, one thing's for sure: he's made
Blue Archive
go more viral than any gacha ad campaign ever could.

Censor Board clears Fahadh Faasil, Vadivelu's travel thriller 'Mareesan' for release with U/A certificate
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now cleared director Sudeesh Shankar's eagerly awaited travel thriller, 'Mareesan', featuring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu in the lead, for release with a U/A certificate. The film has triggered huge expectations as this is the second film that both actors, who are highly rated for their acting skills, are working together. The first film that they worked on together was Mari Selvaraj's socio-political drama 'Maamanan', which was not only a superhit but was also critically acclaimed. One other reason why 'Mareesan' has raised expectations-- not just among fans and film buffs but also industry insiders -- is that this film will be the 98th film of Super Good Films, a production house that is known for having produced several quality films and for having introduced several iconic directors of the Tamil film industry. Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 'Yashoda' gets U/A certification from CBFC A trailer of the film that was released recently by the makers has only gone on to add to the excitement of fans. The trailer gives away the fact that Fahadh Faasil plays a thief who is looking for his next victim. He happens to notice Vadivelu, an Alzheimer's patient, withdrawing a lump sum of cash. Vadivelu, who knows his memory is failing, decides he will go to a friend's place in Thiruvannamalai. Fahadh, seeing an opportunity to steal the money that Vadivelu has, offers to drop him there on his motorcycle. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Offer Valid for the First 100 Bookings Only Birla Estates Learn More Undo As the two begin to undertake the long journey, things change.

Taylor Swift's father Scott Swift undergoes quintuple bypass surgery: 'He's doing fantastic'
Pop sensation Taylor Swift has once more shown her steadfast loyalty to family, abandoning her Eras Tour to assist her 73-year-old father Scott Swift who just had quintuple bypass surgery. Performed more than a month ago, the surgery was done as a preventative step after a regular check-up uncovered arterial blockages, not as a result of a heart attack. A complex procedure, A strong recovery According to medical experts cited in the report by TMZ, quintuple bypass surgery is a major operation that reroutes blood flow around five blocked coronary arteries using vessels from other parts of the body. A representative for Taylor confirmed: 'Scott Swift had quintuple bypass surgery over a month ago, and his wife, Andrea, and their kids, Taylor and Austin, were with him through the entire surgery and recovery process.' The rep added that Scott is now 'doing fantastic', and the family is feeling hopeful as he continues to heal. Family first: Taylor pauses tour to be by his side Taylor reportedly put her tour obligations on hold to be with her father during the procedure and recovery. Her mother Andrea Swift and brother Austin Swift was also present, underscoring the family's tight-knit bond. This isn't the first time Taylor has prioritized family over fame. She previously stepped back from public commitments when Andrea was diagnosed with cancer and later a brain tumor—a journey she chronicled in her song 'Soon You'll Get Better' and her OTT documentary 'Miss Americana.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lợi ích khi giao dịch CFD Bitcoin IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo A legacy of support and strength Scott Swift has long been a visible and beloved figure among Swifties.

Was Khloé Kardashian a surrogate for Kim Kardashian? She responds
Reality star Khloé Kardashian is setting the record straight on one of the wildest rumors to ever circulate about her: that she secretly served as a surrogate for sister Kim Kardashian. The Good American founder addressed the speculation head-on—and with a mix of disbelief and clarity. 'I was a surrogate for Kim?' During the July 16 episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, Khloé reacted in real time to the rumor during her podcast, saying:'I was a surrogate for Kim? I've never been a surrogate for Kim or anyone.' She went on to clarify her own pregnancy history:'I've had one pregnancy that I've carried and that was True.' Khloé shares daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 2, with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Tatum was born via surrogate in 2022, a decision Khloé has openly discussed as emotionally complex and medically necessary. Tackling more rumors: PR stunts and secret marriages? Khloé didn't stop there. She also addressed other persistent rumors, including claims that she faked her breakup with Tristan Thompson for publicity: 'Another rumor is that I faked my split from Tristan for PR. First of all, I don't want any of that kind of PR. We've been broken up for… this December will be four years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New store opening - super 2-in-1 tablet: 50% off.

Reflecting on the constant swirl of gossip surrounding her and her family, Khloé admitted, 'There's just always been [rumors]. I don't know if people feel like they have to top these rumors, because some of these rumors are crazy. Some rumors you're just like, 'Where would that even start from?'' Her candid approach to myth-busting has earned praise from fans, especially as she continues to be transparent about cosmetic procedures, surrogacy, and her personal life.
