Herschel “Guy” Beahm, more popularly known as controversial Twitch streamer Dr Disrespect, has reportedly been banned from the platform, and has not received an explanation for it.

Shortly after the live streaming platform started addressing sexual assault allegations against streamers on the platform on a case-by-case basis, Dr Disrespect was seemingly banned from Twitch.

“As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” a Twitch spokesperson then told Digital Trends. “These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community.”

The statement, however, does not really confirm anything. Apparently, Dr Disrespect himself does not know what is going on.

Champions Club,

Twitch has not notified me on the specific reason behind their decision… Firm handshakes to all for the support during this difficult time.

The tweet is Dr Disrespect’s first statement since his disappearance from Twitch, and it adds another layer of mystery to what is happening on the platform.

Meanwhile, a tweet from e-sports journalist Rod Breslau has reportedly confirmed Dr Disrespect’s ban.

look: for several hours now I have been told from credible sources the reason DrDisrespect has been banned. however due to the importance and sensitivity around the subject I have refrained from going on it. i don't feel comfortable with it currently

Breslau also pointed out an unusual ending to the end of Dr Disrespect’s last stream, which hints that the streamer knew there was something going on.

However, without an official statement, there is no definite confirmation that Twitch actually banned Dr Disrespect. His channel was removed from the platform and subscribers were refunded their monthly fees, but it remains unclear why Twitch is not formalizing the apparent ban with an announcement.

In March, Dr Disrespect agreed to a “life-changing, rewarding” contract to remain exclusively on Twitch, where he has streamed since 2015. In May, he signed a multiyear deal with PepsiCo to endorse its Mtn Dew Game Fuel product. The explanation of why things suddenly took a turn for the worse for Dr Disrespect, meanwhile, is still unclear.

How to start The Forgotten Kingdom DLC in Remnant 2
Invoker

Remnant 2 is a massive game that already boasts nearly endless replayability, but that isn't stopping developer Gunfire Games from adding even more to do in the popular looter shooter. The game's new DLC, The Forgotten Kingdom, provides players with a substantial amount of extra stuff to check out, such as new biomes to explore, an additional archetype known as The Invoker, and plenty of fresh enemies to take down. If you're ready to see all of what The Forgotten Kingdom DLC has to offer, read on to learn how to access it from within the game.
How to start The Forgotten Kingdom DLC
The first step in accessing The Forgotten Kingdom DLC is to ensure you've purchased and downloaded it. You can buy the standalone version from your respective storefront for $10, or you can opt to snag the $25 bundle, which includes The Awakened King, The Forgotten Kingdom, and another future DLC that has yet to be announced. If you intend to play the full trilogy of DLCs, the former is your best option, as you'll save five bucks off the total cost of all three.

Once you've purchased and downloaded the DLC, you'll be ready to access The Forgotten Kingdom by visiting a World Stone and opening Adventure Mode. You'll need to have completed the Yaesha biome at least one time. At that point, you can select "Reroll Adventure Mode" and choose The Forgotten Kingdom: One Shot on the right, which will notably give you exclusive DLC content your first time through. Keep in mind that while this initial run won't feature any older content, your subsequent playthroughs of Yaesha will weave DLC areas in with main campaign content.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera
Zau fights a dragon in Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.
