Power Shortage in China Interrupts Gaming Competition on New Year's Day
Recently, China has successively introduced electricity curtailment measures in many places, which have seriously affected people's livelihood and economy.
The semi-finals of the "League of Legends" China Division (#LPL) all-stars “solo king” competition was held at around 8pm on New Year’s Day. The four players were in the middle of the game when the live broadcast signal was interrupted. It turned out that there was a large-scale power outage in the venue, which plunged the scene into darkness and interrupted the live broadcast.
In response, the organizer of the competition issued a statement saying there was an emergency power failure in the surrounding area of the venue. The venue resolved the situation by immediately switching to its backup power supply.
The competition was originally scheduled to be held in Sichuan, China on December 11 and 12, 2020 but it was postponed to January 1, 2021 due to the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic.

打到一半沒電！中國LOL比賽突斷電 中網友批淪笑柄 - 國際 - 自由時報電子報
中國近日多地陸續祭出限電措施，嚴重影響民生與經濟，沒想到「英雄聯盟」中國賽區（LPL）明星賽進行到一半，場館竟然大停電，連直播也中斷，讓不少收看直播的中國網友直呼傻眼。對此，比賽主辦單位發文回應稱，場館周邊區域出現緊急電力故障，場館在第一時間切換到備用電源，也緊急派出工作人員進行排查搶修。綜合中媒報導，「英雄聯盟」中國賽區（LPL）明星賽原定於去年12月11、12日於中國四川舉行，卻因武漢肺炎（新型冠狀病毒病，COVID-19）疫情宣布延期，延至今年1月1日舉行，沒想到1日晚間近8點進行的solo ki…

University Student in Hong Kong Develops a Game to Reenact Yuen Long 7.21 Mob Attack: “The Reality is As Absurd As a Game World”
The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Protests initiated the democracy movement in Hong Kong since 2019. Although street protests have become scarce, the fight for freedom continues in various creative works.
The July 21 mob attack in Yuen Long, the Lennon Wall and the human chains formed by Hong Kong students and citizens became the inspiration to a computer game developed by #Mighcty, a university student in Hong Kong.
“I hope my game players can know what HongKongers have been experiencing.”
Mighcty, a graduating university student, created, on his own, “The Legacy of Datura”, a 2D minimalist role-playing game:

The protagonist, Cyrus, was an ordinary secondary school student, who gained magical power when accidentally stepping into a world of magic, causing attention from the magical “parliament”. When Cyrus returned to his won world, he witnessed citizens being attacked in a tran station by a group of armed men dressed in white. He could not help but use his power to save the passengers, thus beginning his adventurous story.
“The police should uphold justice and protect the citizens, but nothing was done by a organisation who was supposed to be the fairest and most justified," Mighcty said that the 7.21 Yuen Long mob attack in reality ruined his trust in the government. Therefore, he decided to bring in current events into the game which was still in the conceptual stage.
“At first, I only wanted to develop a game to introduce Hong Kong, such as her tourist spots and food culture. But lately, it’s like I don’t know about this Hong Kong anymore. I feel that it is necessary to explain why the city became the way she is now.”
