Hi Marta! Tell us three fun facts about yourself.

  1. I talk with my hands. A lot.
  2. I always move my controller around when playing games thinking it will help, even when they're not motion controllers.
  3. I like telling people I'm vegan. How else will they know if I don't? ;)

When did your streaming journey begin, and what inspired you to start?

I first experienced streaming through work, first streaming on the SEGA channel with my colleagues. After a while, most of my friends suggested I should start my own channel and they inspired me to do so. Just under a year ago, I started my channel and streamed Yakuza 0 on Twitch. I loved the game and the streaming experience so much that I kept going! And I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

What's your favourite game/content to stream/share? What do you enjoy most about it?

To be very honest, my favourite thing is hanging out with everyone that stops by my streams. I love playing a variety of games, but the Yakuza franchise, as well as retro games, have a very special place in my heart. I intend to continue my streaming journey playing games but chatting to everyone that stops by and says hello is what makes it all worth it. I will always stop whatever I’m doing to welcome in someone new or say hello to a familiar name. There is nothing quite like sharing the love you have in common with others for the things you enjoy!

Do you feel like there is a stigma for women streamers in the industry?

There is definitely a stigma. Female streamers can sometimes be pushed aside for not being as good as male streamers, particularly in gaming. Or even that our streaming success is attributed to simply being female and not to our work. However, I do believe things are changing and there are many wonderful female streamers fighting against it, by simply being their awesome selves, having fun playing video games and doing a wonderful job streaming/creating content!

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to women who want to begin streaming?

The same advice I would give anyone else: Not everyone will like you, and that’s ok. Just get started, have fun and don’t be scared of being unapologetically yourself!

Where can people find you online?

People can find me mainly on Twitch @ThisIsMarta and Twitter @Myunie.

While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges.

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
