A Twitch streamer is trying to beat Elden Ring with just their drawing tablet
In typically British, self-deprecating fashion, I’m happy to admit I’m not very good at Soulslike games, the massively successful Elden Ring included. That’s why I raised an intrigued eyebrow while sipping my seventeenth cup of tea today, after I saw Twitch streamer Luality playing FromSoftware’s latest with just a drawing tablet. Taking on the challenge with admirable confidence, Luality used a virtual keyboard on the tablet’s left side for movement, and bound strokes of the stylus to attack its enormous monsters.

Fighting game streamer and player Majin Obama lights up Shibuya Crossing in billboard ads
Twitch streamer, content creator, and Guilty Gear Strive celestial-ranked gatekeeper Majin Obama has recently started lighting up the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world: Shibuya Crossing. Earnt as part of a series of Twitch promotional campaigns in Japan, Mr Obama was able to net the prize of having their stream and face plastered around bustling Tokyo.
A long time fighting game player and former English teacher, Majin Obama has gradually been building an audience as one of the communities’ most charismatic creators. Alongside their streaming work, they’ve created videos on a variety of topical topics, including the recent Street Fighter 6 closed beta, the “official FGC certification exam” and a guide on how to get Twitch rich following the earnings leak late last year.
Reaching out to him via Twitter DMs, Majin Obama expressed how he felt “proud but also lucky”, the shining screens in Shibuya affirming the fortune and work that’s gone into their career up until this point. “I suppose I have come a long way in more ways than one since I started streaming, but I feel lucky to have grown a strong community along with it.”

A Streamer Is Playing Trombone Champ With An Actual Trombone
Indie rhythm game Trombone Champ has become something of a viral hit since it released earlier this month, plumbing the rich comedic potential of the iconic brass instrument. While the developers currently recommend playing with a mouse and keyboard while controller support is being ironed out, one resourceful streamer has already figured out how to play with the ideal controller–an actual trombone.
Streamer and content creator Rudeism is known for his use of unconventional controllers–GameSpot has featured him before for playing Elden Ring on a kid’s toy, Call of Duty with a baguette, and Overwatch with bananas. But this time, his choice of controller just makes sense.
BEHOLD, THE TROMBONE CONTROLLER
Ultrasonic sensor controls the slide, and a microphone controls the dooting. If only I knew how to play it IRL 😅

The trombone’s unique design makes for some creative design choices in using it as a controller. Rudeism explained that he uses an ultrasonic sensor to control the slide. He notes in a subsequent tweet that the sensor’s limitations means he’s not moving the slide as far as an actual trombone player might, but is working on that issue for a future iteration.
