Transcripts

300,000 people apparently got uh hacked

and some Roblox players were a part of

that Roblox is releasing a pretty cool

update maybe soon and you can now swear

for some reason yeah it's really weird

and even more stuff in today's video

that I want to talk about after I ask

you to subscribe because every time you

subscribe my dig it's a gazillion times

better and for every five Subs I get I

will pet my cat all right without

further Ado let's get into the news

because there is a lot of news to talk

about with the first story being just a

pretty cool world record that Roblox uh

hit or not a world record but like a

record for Roblox themselves because

they hit 10 million concurrent users as

of uh me recording this video so yeah

here's the tweet that shows off roblox's

brand new highest CCU count with it

being 10.2 billion trillion players okay

not a billion but it is 10.2 million

players which is absolutely nuts I don't

know of any game that has had that many

players ever but I guess Roblox

themselves isn't a game they're a

platform so whatever but yeah Roblox set

another record this is this is very soon

after they set their previous record

like I don't know like 2 weeks ago at

this point where they got like 9.6

million people on Roblox at once which

is pretty cool now I think the reason

Roblox uh had so many players today is

because there was an abundance of

updates to a bunch of popular games with

the main one being the brat collab with

dress to impress which was absolutely

massive apparently I think they peaked

at like 700,000 players or something

maybe a couple million I don't even know

but as you can see uh this is the Roblox

RTC tweet about it where they say that

it is due to the DTI brat update which

has resulted in the biggest player count

to date which I couldn't find any proof

of this but I could believe it I think

uh cuz dress to impress is absolutely

massive same thing with the Charlie XCX

the both ginormous like powerhouses on

the internet and they came together and

I guess they almost destroyed Roblox

today but they did not Roblox held up

their servers did not go down and uh

they actually set a brand new record

today which is pretty pretty cool but

without further Ado we can now move on

to the swearing update because you might

have heard it by now but uh Roblox now

allows you to swear

kind of here's one tweet about the

situation that's going on with Roblox

RTC saying you can soon create private

group chats without the chat filter with

a screenshot of what it looks like when

you actually make one of these groups

where it actually just says right here

that you can create new chats without

filters now all members of this

conversation will be invited but some

are not eligible to join so yeah I'm

guessing you do have to be ID verified

on Roblox to access this or maybe you

don't I'm not really sure I I don't

really know what the eligibility is for

this but either way you can now finally

swear in text chat on the website in

like group chats and stuff now okay well

I actually don't know if the update is

out yet but it seems like some people

have access to this whole feature but

yeah I see a lot of people talking about

how they're getting invited to these

group chats I personally don't even see

this option on Roblox but yeah it seems

like some people are already getting

this feature which is pretty cool and uh

the fact you can turn off the the chat

filter in these group chats is kind of

cool but I just hope I hope that Roblox

is still moderating them you know what I

mean like I I hope that Roblox can still

moderate stuff in these group chats

which I guess it is still moderated it

just doesn't have the filter on it so

which I still think is a little bit um

you know irresponsible but I I guess

there is some sort of like eligibility

barrier here so yeah I guess that's kind

of like their their measures here is

that you need to be eligible to even

join these group chats and whatnot yeah

I guess we'll see what happens with this

uh yeah but now we can move on to the

next story which just happens to be

Roblox changing their uh group system

once again so I just talked about how

they have like a new group chat system

but apparently they're working on

something else that is group related or

not group related but like squad or

party related if that makes any sense

because Julian tweeted out this Roblox

seems to have renamed squads to group up

fairly recently some progress now if you

don't know what this is this is

basically a feature that has been uh

wanted for a long time on Roblox because

back in the day this was a feature on

Roblox but it got removed for some

reason but basically what the feature

was is that you could actually like

party up with people on the Roblox

website and whenever the host would join

a game it would make all the party

members follow that follow the host into

that game and it was just a really easy

way to actually play Roblox with your

friends but sadly that feature was

removed uh I don't really know why I

mean you never really know why on Roblox

they kind of just remove a lot of stuff

for no reason but either way it seems

like Roblox is adding this back which I

think could be pretty useful I guess

it's not like that big of a deal because

like to join friends right now all you

have to do is go to their profile and

click the join button but I guess maybe

this squad feature could bypass like

having your like experiences on private

if that makes any sense so then you have

to open your joins to friends to like

play games with them and whatnot and

also this could fix some problems where

where like sometimes you'll go to your

friend's profile and it'll just say

they're not in a game when they are but

yeah either way I think this is a cool

update and I can't wait for to come out

because I've been wanting it back on

Roblox for a long time but now we can

move on to the next story which is

something I missed but I find pretty

interesting so around a week ago there

was there was a bunch of free items

uploaded to the catalog like somehow

they weren't limiteds or anything they

were just uploaded free and you could

buy them and actually use them it wasn't

a glitch like you could actually use

these items on your characters now since

you aren't supposed to be able to make

items free Roblox did a delete these

items and they then also deleted it from

everyone's accounts yeah here's what the

items looked like I don't really know

what this says but it's just like a

colon 3 face that's that's all it really

is but yeah I guess now like a week or

so later Roblox is starting to send out

refunds for these items but the weird

thing is is that they were free so like

you shouldn't be getting refunds for

this but yeah here's like one message

example that I saw where it says credit

applied for Purchase made on 810 2024

for items that are no longer available

on 810 2012 before you purchased an item

an avatar clothing item that can no

longer be worn by your avatar the amount

you paid for this item which is the

amount of zero Robux has been credited

to your account oh thank you Roblox that

means a lot to me but yeah very uh

interesting that Roblox still refunds

free items I think we did kind of see

something like this back when Roblox

accidentally made headless free and

stuff like that I think they sent out

these messages as well but yeah that's

what's going on with uh that I thought

it was quite interesting and I want to

show it but now we can move on to the

next story which just happens to be a

glitch that I think is becoming more and

more more known by the public because

I'm starting to see tweets about it on

the daily but basically for a while now

I I'd say for like a couple months

roblox's favorites tab has been

completely broken on a lot of people's

profiles so basically if you favorite

any new games on Roblox there is a very

high chance that it will not be

organized in the right way so usually

when you favorite stuff on Roblox it

should go in like a chronological order

of when you last favored it in something

you know what I mean and the reason this

is a big deal is because a lot of people

would use this Strat y to uh organize

their favorites in a way that would

spell out certain sentences and whatnot

but now people can't really do that

because it's kind of bugged for some

people here's one tweet about it that

says hey buddy fix your favorites every

time I try to put my favorites in order

it doesn't work with a screenshot of

their thing that I don't know what is

that 21 Pilots I don't know but either

way yeah that I've seen this glitch

myself personally I have this glitch I I

literally can't organize my favorites in

the in a way that I want anymore and

it's been kind of annoying I mean I

don't really care that much but but

there has been count amounts of times

where I will favorite a game to play it

later and I'll go and look at my

favorites and it just won't be there

seemingly but it will actually be there

it's just like deeper in my favorites

because Roblox doesn't organize it

properly but yeah that's what going on

with this favorites glitch it is kind of

stupid and annoying and I don't know why

it's happening I don't know if it's on

purpose or not it has been around for a

couple months now but yeah either way

it's stupid at least my number one

favorite game right now is Munch land

cuz you know I think that's uh that's

that's what I'd want to be there to be

honest but now for the next story we

could talk about this thing that I've

been seeing just floating around Twitter

and whatnot and I don't know how

trustworthy this is but I I've seen it a

lot okay like a lot of news sites are

reporting on this which is quite rare

but basically there's like a story

floating around that

300,000 Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge

users got hit by like malicious browser

extensions now the reason this has

something to do with Roblox is because

they mention Roblox in the you know news

story but if we scroll down and we

actually search up roblocks in this news

story we can see right here in an August

16th alert the cyber security agency of

sing Singapore said users using the

Google search engine download popular

software have been tricked into

installing extensions from lookalike

download websites such as the Roblox FPS

unlocker and VLC media player now it

then goes on to say that at least

300,000 users were affected with this

whole like thing that was going on but

obviously not all 300,000 users were

trying to get Roblox FPS unlockers that

was just a small percentage of other

people that got affected by like a huge

malware thing that was going on on

Google for some reason I guess if you've

downloaded a Roblox FPS unlocker in the

past like 2 weeks or so maybe make sure

and like check that the specific FPS

unlocker that you downloaded was like a

safe version but then again I don't

really think many people are downloading

FPS unlockers nowadays because uh Roblox

has it built in now so like you don't

even need an FPS unlocker okay yeah

pretty interesting
