YouTube is reportedly the most popular platform among kids

A recent study by Precise TV and Giraffe Insights found that YouTube is currently the most popular social networking site among younger people, especially kids.

According to the report, kids like YouTube over other channels. Despite numerous attempts by competing social media sites to overtake YouTube as the most popular platform for sharing videos, YouTube has maintained its position as the top option. 2,000 American children between the ages of 2 and 12 participated in the poll, which looked at their viewing patterns, preferred content producers and subjects, and responses to commercials.

This survey emphasises how popular YouTube continues to be as a medium for kids to interact with content.

43% of children chose YouTube as their preferred social media platform, with 21% of the kids choosing TikTok as their second choice. Even in a study that was restricted to gaming-related content, YouTube remained the clear favorite. Impressively, 76% of kids said YouTube was where they mostly watched video games.

Fascinatingly, Twitch came in third position in this particular study, followed by Facebook in second place, which received 40% of the votes. Kick, a relatively new streaming service, managed to take fourth place despite the fact that 20% of kids said they use for gaming content.

How to Show FPS in Diablo 4?

In the realm of gaming, performance is paramount. For players venturing into the dark world of “Diablo 4”, understanding the game’s frame rate can significantly enhance the gaming experience.

For those unfamiliar, FPS, or frames per second is a measure of how smoothly a game runs. In “Diablo 4”, like many other games, tracking FPS can be crucial. An FPS tracker provides real-time data on the game’s performance, helping players identify areas where the game might be lagging. This can be particularly useful for those aiming to optimize their settings for the best possible gameplay experience.

How to Show FPS in Diablo 4?

Activating the FPS counter in “Diablo 4” is straightforward. Players simply need to press Ctrl+R simultaneously. This action will display the frame rate tracker at the bottom-left corner of the screen, providing a live feed of the game’s current frame rate. To deactivate the counter, pressing Ctrl+R twice will do the trick. Additionally, pressing the key combination once more will activate the latency counter, another useful tool for online gaming.

While PC gamers can benefit from the FPS tracking feature, console players might feel left out. Currently, the FPS tracking feature is exclusive to the PC version of “Diablo 4”. Console players, however, should ensure a stable internet connection for optimal performance.

Baldur’s Gate 3 releases its first major patch

The gaming world is abuzz with the latest update from Larian Studios regarding their flagship game, Baldur’s Gate 3. This new patch, touted as a significant game-changer, addresses a myriad of issues, with over 1,000 adjustments made. Among the most notable is a fix that caters to the “short kings” of the game. Let’s delve into the details of this comprehensive update.

Romance Reimagined for Shorter Races

Players who opted for shorter races, such as dwarves and halflings, previously encountered some awkwardness during romantic interactions due to the height difference. This resulted in some rather comical and unintended scenes. However, with the new animation changes, these interactions have been refined. The patch ensures that romantic scenes, especially those involving kisses, are more realistic, taking into account the height of the characters and the terrain they’re on.

Other Noteworthy Adjustments

Romance wasn’t the only focus of this patch. Larian Studios has addressed various other issues, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Some of the key fixes include:

  • A correction to Shadowheart’s romance scene in Act Three.
  • Adjustments to Lae’zel’s attire, ensuring it reflects the chosen dye color accurately.
  • Fixes to the modesty filter for the Dragonborn race.

Moreover, players can anticipate the second patch, which promises significant performance improvements. This is especially crucial given the game’s expansive nature and the intricate details that make it a favorite among RPG enthusiasts.

Player Insights and Upcoming Releases

Larian Studios also shared intriguing statistics about player choices. With over 200,000 hours logged since the game’s launch, the Paladin class emerged as the most popular, while the Cleric remains the least favored. In terms of races, Humans and Elves dominate, whereas Dwarf, Gnome, Githyanki, and Halfling are less frequently chosen. Interestingly, these four races are humorously suggested to form a “rad metal band.”

JiDion reaction to Dillion Danis Tweet has garnered the attention of Logan Paul which has resulted in a very public feud that has yielded a controversy involving the pair.

“Bro, I went this fucking hard for PRIME, where I literally risked maybe getting f*cking sued out my a**hole by Pepsi for sneaking into Gatorade HQ,” said JiDion.

“So, for Logan Paul to call me corny, a corny-ass live streamer, was I corny when I made that video for PRIME, Logan? Was that video corny?”

“I get sh*t on for joining PRIME. Then, I get sh*t on for moving seats when someone I thought was a friend asked me to move seats. Then, when I retaliate just a little bit because your brother comes at me… nah, f*ck that, bro.”

“I didn’t badmouth nobody. I just left. I didn’t feel wanted and I didn’t feel appreciated. I removed myself from the situation in the least drama-filled way possible.”

Now that everything is out in the open, KSI or Logan Paul have yet to address the remarks. JiDion’s comments have sparked controversy in the online community and now only time can tell where this drama leads.

Scout Voices Frustration Over Growing Hackers in BGMI

Scout Voices Frustration Over Growing Hackers in BGMI

Since the relaunch of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) in May 2023, the game has been marred with a persistent problem – cheaters, or commonly referred as hackers. Although this is not a new problem, the amount of hackers is increasing at an exponential rate, rendering the game unplayable. Hackers erode the competitive spirit of the game. Furthermore, with the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series (BGIS) 2023 going on, this problem has become a curse to the underdog players. 

Popular Indian BGMI player and content creator, Tanmay “ScoutOP” Singh, recently spoke about the increasing number of hackers in the game. Scout also revealed how Krafton will solve this ongoing problem. Additionally, he also discussed the effect of hackers in the ongoing BGIS 2023.

Scout Talks About the Current Situation of Hackers in BGMI

In a recent livestream, Scout addressed the increasing number of hackers in BGMI. He humorously remarked, “While playing BGMI yesterday, I realized that hackers are not among us; we are among the hackers. It’s no longer surprising to encounter a hacker; it’s more surprising to encounter a legitimate player in the game.” 

He vividly depicted the chaotic scenario where players encountered not only the ordinary gameplay but also instances of players running like Flash and flying in the air. “All of this is happening. It’s a completely different scenario. Among seven to eight hackers, there’s perhaps one legitimate player,” he added.

Scout Hopes Krafton Will Soon Resolve the Hacking Issue

Turning his attention to the actions taken by the game’s developer, Krafton, Scout expressed his hope that the company would address the hacker issue. He speculated that Krafton would release a patch, to solve the vulnerabilities exploited by hackers. “This patch will likely come with an update of 10 to 15 MB, and it should fix the loopholes that these hackers have been exploiting. That’s what I believe will happen, because this happens everytime,” he explained.

Scout Reflects on the Impact of Hackers on BGIS 2023 and BGMI Esports

Scout discussed an extremely important topic – the impact of hackers on BGIS 2023 and BGMI esports. He delved into the possibility of cheaters emerging in competitions. He sarcastically said, “These players have worked so hard and out-of-the-world that made their aim so good; even our aim might not reach that level.”  Scout speculated that these hackers-turned-players might excel in the early stages of tournaments, as these stages usually take place online, where it is easy to use hacks. However, their performance might falter as the tournament shifts to the LAN stage, where they wouldn’t have the opportunity to use hacks.

Scout playfully suggested that these individuals might attribute their performance drop to the pressure of their first tournament finals, conveniently ignoring their previous use of hacks. “You could be one of the players that lost to these hackers; these hackers might not perform that well ever again (as they won’t use hacks). But they have used hacks to reach that level. They use magic to reach that level; and once they reach that level, they start working hard,” he added.
