Asmongold discusses possible six-month streaming break due to family and workload pressures
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.

MrBeast playfully sets boundaries with Adin Ross during Kick charity stream for TeamWater fundraising goal
Popular YouTuber MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, recently joined streamers Adin Ross and xQc on a Kick livestream to raise funds for TeamWater. The trio pledged to stay on air until they reached a $5 million goal, and as of the latest update, the total had surpassed $3 million. ME ADIN AND XQC ARE GOING LIVE ON AUGUST 14th FOR MY FIRST KICK STREAM! WE CANT END THE STREAM UNTIL WE RAIZE $5,000,000 FOR TEAMWATER HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T TAKE DAYS FOLLOW ME - — MrBeast (@MrBeast) August 11, 2025 While the charity effort progressed, an unexpected moment between MrBeast and Ross caught viewers' attention. During the August 14 broadcast, shortly after the group encountered fellow creator Matthew Beem, Ross placed his hand on MrBeast's shoulder. MrBeast reacted immediately, asking, 'What is with you, and touching me?' — making it clear in a playful tone that he preferred some personal space. Adin Ross makes things awkward with MrBeast 😂 — h4rn1zk (@h4rn1zk) August 14, 2025 Ross tried to defuse the situation with humor, jokingly asking others nearby if they had 'just farted.' MrBeast, however, returned to the topic moments later to set his boundary. 'You take your hands, and keep 'em away from me,' he said, prompting Ross to agree. Keeping the mood light, Ross then asked if he could still touch xQc, who responded by shaking his hand. The friendly banter continued throughout the stream, including a moment when Ross requested MrBeast to touch his hair — a request that was politely declined. MrBeast had announced the event on August 12 via X (formerly Twitter), noting it would be his first Kick stream and emphasizing their ambitious $5 million target. 'Hopefully it doesn't take days,' he wrote, sharing the link to his Kick channel. The lighthearted exchange added entertainment value to the ongoing broadcast while keeping focus on the shared goal — raising millions for TeamWater. The stream remained live as donations continued toward the final target.

German Twitch streamer plays Elden Ring and Street Fighter live from a rave, draws 40k viewers
German Twitch streamer HandofBlood, known to fans as Hänno, has gone viral after livestreaming himself playing Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6, and other games from inside a packed rave. The broadcast took place with his full gaming setup positioned in the DJ booth, surrounded by flashing lights, loud techno beats, and a dense crowd of partygoers. The stream alternated between multiple camera angles, capturing both Hänno at his PC and the atmosphere inside and outside the booth. Despite the high-energy environment, Hänno engaged with viewers and attempted to focus on challenging titles, including Half Sword, all while reacting to the music and crowd. According to Twitch metrics, nearly 40,000 people tuned in live to watch the unusual combination of gaming and rave culture. This is not the first time Hänno has merged the two worlds. The concept originated during a previous gaming session when a friend sent a live DJ to his stream as a prank. The unexpected moment resonated with viewers, leading to the development of recurring 'gaming raves' on his channel. These events now attract thousands both online and in person. Hänno's streams have gained attention for their blend of live performance, community interaction, and unconventional settings. By turning a nightclub into a gaming stage, he has carved out a distinctive niche within Twitch's crowded landscape. Other creators have experimented with similar ideas, such as 15-year-old streamer Crossmauz, who has gone viral for transforming his bedroom into a mini rave with lights, lasers, pyrotechnics, and a smoke machine. For Hänno, the gaming rave format appears to be an ongoing feature of his channel, with each event combining the intensity of competitive gameplay with the communal energy of live music.
