Is xQc OK? Kick streamer faces criticism for overlooking Newton's third law during fiery 'Lies of P' clash: 'He is a danger to himself'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Felix Lengyel aka xQc, unfortunately, hurt his hand due to a jarring impact as he was fighting one of the first bosses in the game 'Lies of P'.
The incident prompted criticism among his followers, who blamed the streamer for forgetting Newton’s third law of motion.
To clarify, the law states, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction," as per Khan Academy, meaning that any force exerted on an object will produce a force of equivalent magnitude but in the opposite direction.

During a recent livestream, xQc was playing 'Lies of P' and ended up punching his phone while struggling to defeat one of the early bosses in the game.
For context, early access to the Pinnochio-inspired Soulslike game 'Lies of P' is now available to gamers everywhere.
Taking heavy inspiration from FromSoftware titles like 'Bloodborne' and 'Sekiro', 'Lies of P', and is supposed to be one of the most competent imitations of the formula to date.
While playing, xQc faced 'Lies of P's second major boss, the Scrapped Watchman, and he was still unable to beat it after several tries due to the game’s punishing difficulty.
Eventually, xQc, in an expletive-laden fit of rage, unleashed a full-force punch on his phone. After letting out a howl of agony, he exclaimed, "I just punched my phone and it punched back."

xQc faces trouble creating an avatar in ‘NBA 2K24’
During one of his live streams, xQc faced the unusual problem of being unable to create an avatar in the game 'NBA 2K24'.
Initially, he revisited previous versions of the game before diving into the My Career Mode of the latest edition, which involved the process of crafting an in-game avatar resembling him.
To accomplish this, players are prompted to use the MYNBA 2K Companion App to scan their faces and then upload the resulting avatar to their MYPLAYER account.

xQc diligently followed these steps in an attempt to create his avatar, but the final result bore little resemblance to the streamer.
Despite repeated attempts at rescanning his face, xQc encountered a persistent issue as his MYPLAYER avatar consistently displayed an incorrect skin color.
It was a frustrating experience for the streamer, as he had previously faced a similar problem in previous NBA 2K installments.
