Transcripts
Roblox finally fixed this really odd bug
that has been in the game forever the
star program is open and uh people are
getting banned instantly and
automatically just by saying something
in chat once again but before I get into
all that and more I'm going to ask you
to subscribe because for every five Subs
I get I will pet my cat anyways let's
get to the video cuz there's actually a
lot of news I want to talk about today
with the first story being something
that's not that big of a deal but it is
something that's worth talking about
okay and it is basically just some
Roblox updates that have been added to
the platform that I think are mid to be
honest but I think they're worth
mentioning because the first update in
question is this right here with
visualization nodes in Roblox Studio
creators can Now quickly toggle various
debug modes and visualizations in Roblox
Studio to speed up and augment workflows
now I have no clue what this means but I
think what it means is it actually just
like shows you uh like certain things in
Roblox like if that makes any sense like
you can see in this screenshot you can
see like a bunch of lines going through
stuff you can basically see like
wireframes of stuff and there's also
like a bunch of check boxes that you can
enable so I guess this is good for like
debugging and stuff like that if you're
a developer this probably is cool uh I I
I just don't get it I don't get it that
much if we go to the de for post there's
probably a lot of people excited about
this cuz it is it's seemingly a big deal
I guess you can turn on specific things
that like highlight anchored parts and
like certain types of parts that's
pretty cool okay now that I like have
read the dev Forum post I understand
what's going on here and this is
actually pretty cool uh but sadly as you
can see here it was temporarily rolled
back and they said hey all' we are
unfortunately temporarily rolling back
this feature while we investigate some
performance and stability issues we will
be sure to update it when we reenable it
thank you for your patience and
understanding so yeah this update is
pretty dang cool but sadly you can't use
it anymore because there was like some
bugs with it I guess L but whatever
because now we can move on to the next
story which also is you know for
developers it seems like uh Roblox is
adding new materials pretty frequently
now I don't know if I've seen these
before uh I I think I might have
actually so maybe these are old and they
were just in beta and now they're like
fully out but basically bloxy news
tweeted up this these eight new base
materials are now pushed into production
beta each of these new base materials
introduce corresponding physical
behaviors you can change their
appearance and physical properties by
creating material variants so yeah I
guess a lot of these uh textures also
have different weights I believe which
is pretty cool but uh I mean it's
nothing new for Roblox I don't think but
uh yeah they just added some new
textures that's it very small very tiny
story but now we can move on to the next
story which is actually really
interesting and it's this br new ads
update so apparently Roblox is going to
be introducing a new ad format to the
platform which I think is quite
interesting let me show you so Blox news
tweeted out this introducing search ads
a new Roblox ad format used to promote
your experiences to users who are
actively searching for experiences or
genre of experiences using specific
keyword and I wonder how effective these
ads are going to be because usually when
you use the search bar on Roblox you
kind of like are looking for a specific
game in mind you don't really just
search Roblox for like genres of games
anymore because it's kind of impossible
to do so unless they fixed it and I just
haven't realized let me check let me
search up firstperson shooter in in
experiences okay I got like gunfight
Arena unnamed shooter you know just a
bunch of actual FPS games that's pretty
interesting okay maybe they did fix it
all right maybe I'm stupid maybe these
ads are actually going to be like the
best way to advertise your Roblox game
who knows but yeah basically whenever
you search stuff you now might have a
possibility of seeing sponsored games at
the top of your search result uh I don't
know if this is a bad update I think
it's completely fine to be honest honest
I just wonder how effective this is
going to be for developers like is this
actually going to be an effective way to
like market and advertise your game I
guess we'll have to see with time but as
you can see here's the dev for post that
kind of just goes through exactly what
this update is but yeah looking through
all of these Dev for posts a lot of
people are a bit uh iffy about this this
whole update they kind of don't know if
it's going to be that good but a lot of
people also are saying that it's pretty
positive so I guess we'll just see what
happens with time I don't think this is
actually added to the website yet I
think this is just an announcement of
this being added soon oh no is starting
today and this was 2 days ago so yeah
this is actually on the website for some
people I guess but now we can move on to
the next story which just happens to be
this a huge bug that has finally been
patched on Roblox or is being patched
soon so basically bloxy news tweeted out
this with Roblox release 638 particle
effects will no longer show and cover
your screen when zooming into firsters
camera mode now if you don't know this
has been a problem on Roblox since I
think the dawn of time like ever since
Roblox started releasing particle hats
which by the way I think was like 2009
or something there's always just been a
problem with whenever you like go into
first person you can see the particle
effects now granted before like I don't
know the past 2 years this hasn't really
been a huge problem because there hasn't
really been that many particle hats on
Roblox but as of the past 2 years Roblox
has been going crazy with particle hats
and uh now as you can see it's becoming
a very common issue for a lot of people
here's like a video example that I'm
stealing from bloxy news where they kind
of just show that when you go into first
person you have a lot of particles all
over your screen because they are
wearing like the hor blocks package as
well as like some event wings and stuff
like that and it kind of just gets in
the way dude but apparently Roblox is
working on fixing this because they have
like a road map for their updates and
whatnot and this is listed in it it says
changes to default camera script to hide
particle emitters beams Trails fire
smoke and explosions that are parented
within the character when zooming into
first person which is actually awesome
dude that's that's awesome now I I do
think this might break some things uh
like I have made a couple games in the
past where I've put part emitters inside
of the character and now I guess those
particles won't show uh which kind of
sucks but either way the main thing is
that it it is fixed okay and that that's
I'd say the bigger issue is being fixed
here but now we can move on to the next
story which is just people getting
banned automatically for saying the
kissy Emoji now this is something I
talked about a while ago but before you
actually had to be like reported to get
banned from this but now it seems like
as as soon as you say this in the chat
you have a chance of getting banned now
I think they did patch this cuz I did go
into a private server and try this
myself to see if I could get banned
automatically for just saying these
emojis but no I didn't get banned I even
tried reporting myself but that didn't
really work cuz you can't really report
yourself so but either way I didn't
personally get banned but I saw a whole
thread of people testing this out
themselves and getting banned such as
this right here that says Roblox
censored the following Emoji sending
this in Roblox chat will get you warned
SL banned for dating SL romantic reasons
the bot will detect this Emoji in chat
and will ban you for use again and they
say that someone was in a private server
just saying this in the chat because I
guess they were recording a Tik Tok or
whatever they got banned for it which is
interesting and I saw this and I was
like oh interesting you know I've seen
stuff like this but usually you have to
get like reported whenever you said that
to get banned but this person was
claiming that you didn't need to get
reported you could literally just say it
in a private server and get banned for
it so then I went into the comments to
see if anyone else had this experience
and it seems like a lot of other people
tried to test this themselves and also
got banned as you can see Lucas tweeted
out this saying goated with a picture of
his band note basically just saying uh
Roblox does not permit dating or
romantic exchanges between avatars with
the reason being him saying bre with a
like emoji and yeah you can see that
that Lucas isn't the only other person
that got banned through this there's a
bunch of other people that also got
banned here so yeah I guess you don't
even need to get reported to be banned
this way but it does seem like Roblox
has rolled back this update because I
personally couldn't get banned this way
and I haven't seen anyone else complain
about getting banned through this method
uh since it blew up on Twitter you know
yeah either way be careful using certain
emojis in Roblox because a lot of them
could be considered romantic or dating
and yeah you might get banned but now we
can talk about the price floor updates
cuz in my last video I talked about how
the Roblox price floor was changing
pretty frequently and as you could see 9
minutes ago the Roblox price floor has
updated once again and uh it's not
looking too good because hats are up 10
Roo hairs are up five Robux faces are
are down 10 Robux but they're still 75
oh my God and yeah you can read the rest
of these it doesn't look that good but
yeah as you can see the price floors are
now back to updating on a daily basis
almost which is uh kind of annoying now
I do want to say though that yesterday
hats went down 20 Robux as you can see
in this tweet here and it got 500 likes
people saw hats go down 20 robblox and
got so hyp but as you can see a day
later it instantly got destroyed because
uh yeah they went back up 10 now we can
talk about the last story which just
happens to be the videoar program
opening so I didn't talk about this in
my last video cuz I just simply forgot
about it but basically the videoar
program is now open to be joined once
again and the reason this is such a big
deal is because the Roblox star program
closed all the way back last year and I
think August and uh basically they said
that the star program would be opening
back up in April of this year but as you
can tell uh it is uh August so they're
kind of late here guys um but either way
it doesn't matter because it is now open
and if you are a YouTuber or Tik Tok
creator that meets the criteria you can
now apply to the video Start program uh
actually on their website which is new
because before you had to just email
them and and hope that they responded to
you but now they have like an actual
application form which is pretty cool
but either way yeah that's going off the
star program it's pretty cool that it's
back open
