Nose Ring Echo Chamber by Design: Critique of Gaming Media

Why Modern Gaming Media Can’t Take a Hint If you’ve watched the new "Nose Ring Echo Chamber by Design" music video I just dropped and thought, “Damn, well that was pretty aggressive” ...good. That was the point! The song is a critiquing satire aimed squarely at modern gaming journalism, an industry that seemingly managed to forget why it exists while insisting that it somehow still knows better than the people who actually play games. https://youtu.be/MeiTldTPdb8 Nose Ring Echo Chamber by Design | Report AFK Somewhere along the way, reviews stopped being about performance, gameplay, mechanics, or fun - and started becoming more about moral lectures and games and their developers having the "correct" politics. And if it doesn’t... Well, they're going to let you know with 52 1/2 articles blasting every teensy thing they can find to complain about. Same Takes, Different […]

Aftermath Journalist Connections Just More of the Same

Aftermath Isn’t New Games Media – It’s Rebranded Irrelevance

Every few years, games journalism announces its own rebirth. A new website or publication launches. Some generic mission statement promises readers independence. Subscriptions replace ads. Corporate influence is supposedly left behind. And we're told that this time will finally be different, more honest, more authentic, and more connected to the people who actually play games. And then you look at the bylines. Aftermath Collection of Recent Ideological Bylines Aftermath, the latest “independent” games media startup, is trying to position itself as some sort of "clean break" from the failures of legacy outlets like Kotaku, Polygon, Vice, and The Verge...but scratch the surface for about five seconds and you might find that a different picture starts to emerge. This is not a revolution. It's more like a reunion tour. Same rejected writers. Same cringeworthy worldviews. Same self-aggrandizing echo-chamber social circles. Same […]

New Hasan and Asmongold Music Video: Shock Collar Hearts

Enjoy The Love Song Nobody Asked For Report AFK is back with something truly unnecessary but deeply inevitable: Shock Collar Hearts, a satirical parody music video inspired by funderful streamer culture, endless crashouts, and Hasan Piker's heroic inability to stop talking about Asmongold. This isn’t journalism. This is therapy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM-_nGYCjeY Video: Shock Collar Hearts | Report AFK The Origin Story of This Unholy Music Video If you’ve spent any time watching any liberal-leaning livestreams over the past year, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: Stream starts on random topic Streamer brings up Asmongold or Trump Everything collapses Rinse. Repeat. Good times? Shock Collar Hearts was born from that loop. Not from one clip, not from one meltdown, but from the ritual itself. The crashout isn’t a bug anymore. It’s the content. The song is written from a purely fictionalized first-person perspective from […]

More Chinese by the Day | Can’t Meme in Beijing Hasan

Some songs arrive fully formed, others are born from pure, concentrated irony. "More Chinese by the Day" is very much the latter. After seeing a tweet on X from Hasan Piker that literally said “we are becoming more Chinese by the day” after posted in the wake of an on-stream incident in Tiananmen Square where the toxic streamer was briefly stopped while showing a meme  -  I couldn’t not turn the whole ridiculous vibe into a song. we are becoming more chinese by the day pic.twitter.com/zwAypxYQ7t— hasanabi (@hasanthehun) November 13, 2025 The Making of the song "More Chinese by the Day" The track started as a single sarcastic line in my notes and quickly snowballed into a full parody: a globe-trotting “passport bro” character (Hasan, of course) who preaches revolution on camera, lives in a mansion off donations, and somehow rubs shoulders […]

Too Many Miztakes: How the Mizkif Drama Became a Diss Track

How the Cringe Streamer Saga Became a Song If you’ve been watching Twitch from the sidelines (or deep in the chat spam), you know when internet drama hits, it hits hard. The story of Mizkif, his ex-girlfriend Emiru, and a barrage of scandal is exactly the kind of combustible content that demanded a soundtrack. Hence: Too Many Miztakes. Here’s the timeline, the key moments, and how it all inspired a funderful diss rap you’ll want to blast in your headphones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxTuRGK9SHw Video: Too Many Miztakes | The Mizkif Diss Track | ReportAFK Prequel & Background info on the Mizkif Drama Mizkif (real name Matthew Rinaudo) has long been a major player in the Twitch/creator scene - cofounder of One True King (OTK) and a streamer known as much for his personality as his controversies. There were already past whispers: cover-up accusations, […]

Pupwig Unleashed: Who’s a Good Boy Now | Behind the Music

Why a Ludwig Music Video? Howdy gamers! Ayefkay here, bringing you the story behind the absolute fever dream of a song we just dropped: Pupwig Unleashed: Who’s a Good Boy Now? It’s part parody, part vent session, and fully inspired by the never ending circus that is streamer drama - starring everyone’s favorite gelatinously-challenged content creator, Ludwig. Buckle in for some funderful storytime! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xqpa39uU_0 The Pupwig Origin Story Before the dog collar madness ever barked its way into the timeline, we had the streaming vs. 9-to-5 saga. Hasan Piker claimed that streaming was harder than a regular job (a take that aged about as well as milk in the sun). Ludwig, to his credit, initially pushed back, saying what most sane people already know: actual jobs are harder than sitting in front of a camera. But when Hasan got upset, things […]

TwitchCon 2025 Drama Recap | The Con Rolls on Music Video

The Con Rolls On Song: My Symphony of Chaos If you thought TwitchCon was a place to bask in the glow of your streaming fame, think again. It's more like a reality show where the contestants are creators, the challenges are safety hazards, and the grand prize is a viral clip of your meltdown. But hey, at least I made a song about it. Watch The Con Rolls On - it's the anthem of my collective cringe and disappointment at Twitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MONmikGkER8 Video: The Con Rolls On | The TwitchCon Song 2025 Remix | Report AFK What Happened at Twitchcon This year? Emiru's Meet-and-Greet TwitchCon 2025 kicked off with a bang...and by "bang", of course, I mean some guy grabbing Emiru and attempting an unsolicited kiss during her meet-and-greet. Security? Obviously, not where they should have been. Twitch's response was a […]

Shock Value – A Shockingly Satirical Hasan Piker Music Video

If you thought Twitch drama couldn’t possibly outdo itself, welcome to Shock Value - my scathing, satirical anthem inspired by the now-infamous “#CollarGate” moment that sent Hasan Piker and his dog Kaya trending across every corner of social media. This isn’t just a diss track. It’s a roast of the entire Twitch ecosystem that thrives on outrage: the streamers, the hate watchers, and the content vultures who clip faster than you can say “ what context?”. The Doggy Days of Drama It all started when a questionable clip surfaced of Hasan’s pup yelping during a livestream. What followed was a perfect storm of denial, deflection, and digital chaos. Claims flew faster than Twitch ads during a subathon: was it a shock collar, a bark trainer, or just a bad moment taken out of context? The answer, as always on the internet, […]

Sonic Rumble Finally Releasing in November: About Damn Time

I can’t believe I’m even typing this, but it looks like Sonic Rumble is finally releasing this November. After over a year of constant delays, pre-registration spam, and tone-deaf event announcements, SEGA is actually ready to hit the green light. Or at least, that’s what they’re telling us…again. According to Gematsu, the global release is now scheduled for November 2025, which honestly feels like a sentence I’ve been copy-pasting for months at this point. The official Sonic Rumble site even promises that the version we’ll be playing this November has been “designed, polished, and perfected.” Sure...I’ll believe it when it’s actually on my phone and not behind another “quality improvement delay.” The Never-Ending Sonic Rumble Delays When Sonic Rumble was first announced, it looked like it had all of the ingredients for an instant hit: a 32-player party brawler featuring Sonic […]

Why Game Rant Tried to Rewrite the “Boycott” of Hogwarts Legacy

Game Rant’s Hogwarts Legacy 2 Take Got Ratioed Game Rant decided to light itself on fire this week after posting on Twitter, the post getting immediately bodied with a Community Note correcting it: If Hogwarts Legacy 2 wants to avoid the same boycotts its predecessor faced, the sequel cannot take the same approach that the original did. https://t.co/LJIMjUHhW8 pic.twitter.com/Wf1PTKreNa— Game Rant (@GameRant) October 12, 2025 In other words, the so-called “boycott” Game Rant referenced was about as effective as trying to cancel oxygen. Hogwarts Legacy wasn’t just successful - it dominated, becoming the best-selling game of 2023 worldwide and one of the biggest single-player launches in gaming history.Even hilariously eliciting a Hogwarts Legacy fluff piece from Game Rant themselves at the time! So why is a major gaming publication trying to actively rewrite history? The answer’s actually pretty simple. It’s the same reason when […]
