honestly don't even remember what happened in 2017 at all, it was a year. that year is no longer.

what the fuck DIDN’T happen in 2017

[hungwy]

I’ve seen many people reblog a post which contains tweets that, in my eyes, amount to a single complaint that is only half true (but that I agree with for the most part). But anyway, here’s a longpost:

(tweet in question)

I think it’s mostly wrong to say FPS multiplayer “peaked” ("was most fun for the playerbase"?) with Source games in the way presented. Believe it or not, you can still join a server with 30 people playing on a user map with fucked up assets everywhere, and some of the 30 people playing will be 14-year-olds with bad mics getting mad at being spawn killed by someone with 20,000 hours in the game. In fact, there are servers like this in most Source games, including Garry’s Mod, TF2, and CSS and CSGO (but honestly I think TF2 is most representative of the above scenario). I just launched Valve’s community server browser and have found an unending list of silly-sounding servers for TF2: Minecraft trade, Murder at the Mannor, Zombie Escape, Medieval Mode, all full or near-full. I checked Garry’s Mod: SCP-RP, Zombie Survival, Clone Wars Roleplay, “Swamp Cinema”, 1980’s Mafia Roleplay, DarkRP (x20), again, all well-populated. Admittedly CS2 was mostly deathmatch servers (due to it being Source 2 and not Source and so missing a lot of plugins that would allow for “fun” servers), but CSS still had surf, bhop, minigames, and jailbreak servers still going and full. My server browser won’t show CSGO for whatever reason, but up until CS2 released I know for a fact that these silly ass servers still exist there too. The implication that these servers and their conditions are gone is wrong. You don’t want a server with the exact same conditions though, I think you want to relive the specific memories you’re having and feel happiness again. But maybe I’m going too far there.

How about this. I’ll give it to you, Dusk developer, that for you FPS multiplayer peaked with insane TF2 trade servers, but you also make boomer shooters for a living, so I think you’re biased towards enjoying an older generation of games anyway. Modern FPS games are fantastic and in their own ways contain a lot of fun. Modern games in general fill the spaces that, for you, TF2 servers filled. Have you seen Roblox minigames and Minecraft server plugins? They’re actually crazy and decently well made. I’m excited that kids have grown up in such a good environment for games. They have tons of options that we didn’t have back then. It’s awesome! Like, don’t let your nostalgia blind you to the fact that kids are having just as much fun as you now. TF2 and Garry’s Mod are not the be-all, end-all of FPS multiplayer fun. That sentiment I completely disagree with and think people should get over.

But like, how the hell does competitive gaming play into this? I truly don’t buy the wording of “Esports and competitive ranking ruined multiplayer”. It’s just not true. Not only are the servers you’re mourning still exist, they’re still well-populated and their “golden age” coincided with some of the greatest heights in competitive FPS gaming. You know what’s funny? When CSGO released in 2012, TF2 saw a drop of almost 10,000 average players. It recovered basically the next year. Besides a small dip in 2018, TF2 had held around 50,000 average players since its release, until 2019 where its average player-count has risen to about 80,000 players. Garry’s Mod wouldn’t peak in total concurrent players until 2015 and has had a dedicated core of players averaging around 25,000 since like 2013. Seriously, these are incredibly consistent player-counts throughout the release of Overwatch, PUBG, Fortnite, Apex, and Valorant. In fact, contrary to the tweeter's implicit assumptions, it seems like nothing much has changed, and that competitive gaming did not, at all, ruin or depopulate these “fun” spaces.

So, again, how does competitive gaming and esports play into this? Only thing I think is valid is the fact that a few popular modern FPSes don’t do the whole “community-hosted server” thing: Apex, Fortnite, PUBG, Valorant, and Overwatch all do not have native community-hosted server support. Which, to be frank, is bad for their competitive gaming scene too! Esports has ALWAYS used self-hosted servers for practicing to get better. I don’t know the argument for not having these sorts of things, maybe not developing the toolkit for these things is easier than developing them. IDK. But I agree that it is bad that many popular games don’t support this sort of thing. The “self-hosted netizen” is a category of person that’s been declining for a long time regardless of the effect of competitive first-person shooter games on the casual first-person shooter games self-hosted server market. But again, for the topic of the post, I think this is a completely nonsensical implication. As far as I can tell ALL Valve-made Source engine games have active and popular community servers still, and the popular games ALL have very populated servers with “fun” gamemodes and atmospheres. Competitive has grown very popular, yes. It's true. It's fun to compete, everyone knows it. But esports has taken very little if anything away from the casual playerbase of Source games.

(Also, for the record, during the actual multiplayer FPS golden age of the time, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 shooters, there were no self-hosted servers for us, and it was still the most fun anyone ever had playing casually on console. It was the age of trickshotting and montages, man! For the intent of this post that exact restriction counts as “keeping players from interacting with one another” yet these games, especially COD, were, uh… infamously social. Not to mention these games had competitive scenes alongside the casual scene perfectly fine.)

I think, really, ignoring the actual content of the tweet, these tweets are just about nostalgia for your childhood. Which is fine! You can miss things you used to do for fun and no longer do. Probably every human that’s ever existed has gone through this. I mean, again, it is kind of popular in current culture to be nostalgic. The 90s aesthetic, early 2000s media, retro games, super hero movies, cartoons being consumed by adults to a greater degree than ever, et cetera. I think to some extent the complaint itself isn’t like, a completely unclouded judgement of the Decline of The Beauty of Multiplayer Gaming throughout the years. The concrete complaints in those tweets seem both a little rose-tinted and unnecessarily doomerpilled to me. But like, regardless, it’s kind of your fault for not returning to these things, man. Go join one of those servers if you’re not busy being an adult with a job and friends and other obligations that may keep you from doing things that you’re not used to and have fun like you did in childhood. Or is that what's actually the problem…? I don’t know. A suggestion. I just think in the end the complaint isn't valid.

This post is long and I had a LOT of thoughts that I may have missed or chopped off at the incorrect time. I think the picture I'm trying to build has probably been communicated, though? Maybe I’m not considering something, maybe I overinterpreted implications, maybe the fact that the playerbase of TF2 and Garry's Mod being highly consistent for ten years or whatever is not indicative of anything I've said, but I hope regardless you understand that like, at least part of this tweet is weird to say in the ways I've attempted to untease. People young and old are still having crazy times in video games and esports has done, as far as I can tell, absolutely nothing to change at, ever.

Turning off reblogs because I have a feeling anyone who doesn't follow me might become annoying about this

Since there's talk of an e-sports Olympics happening next year, I think someone (or I) should write a comedy story about the wacky misadventures of the USA's first Olympic e-sports team.

They're actually not the biggest delegation this time. Japan is.

Just like in Paris, there's a 50/50 split of men and women. People start complaining that "most of those girls are DEI picks. They aren't good at video games." They shut up when an all-female team wins gold at PUBG.

There were going to be gendered divisions until someone said, "How different are male and female hands, really?"

So many individual sports games that people start asking why they don't just add Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games since it has them all.

A lot of MOBAs.

Mario Odyssey speedrunning was going to have a 100% category, but that would take too long, so it's just Any%.

The IOC doesn't fully understand competitive Smash, so they don't ban any stages.

The gold medalist in Smash Ultimate plays Ice Climbers.

The USA's team for Splatoon 3 actually came in second at the trials because the first-place team was racist. (This one is actually based in real life. The Splatoon 3 world champions just got their title revoked for being racist.)

The Street Fighter 6 world champion loses to a furry. It becomes a PR nightmare. (Also partially based in real life: https://www.shacknews.com/article/106563/sonicfox-beats-rival-go1-to-win-dragon-ball-fighterz-at-evo-2018)

Olympic Rhythm Heaven. (They use Megamix because it has a numerical scoring system. Fever fans are livid.)

They tried to add Animal Crossing, but they had no idea how to make it a competitive event. Same with Minecraft.

Tetris is not included because of its origins in Russia. Suika Game is added as an alternative. Some Tetris players enter thinking it can't possibly be that different and end up raging at Suika Game's physics.

There is a classic arcade game decathlon that ends up being surprisingly popular.

NBC tries to find some popular YouTubers and Twitch streamers to commentate the games. The only really popular one they can find without any dirt on them is Markiplier.

Someone gets injured playing Just Dance. I don't know how. They just do.

The Gran Turismo team gets harassed by the Mario Kart team for "not playing a real racing game."

Due to a licensing mix-up with Microsoft, the IOC gets the rights to host a Blinx the Time Sweeper event instead of Halo. Not knowing what to do, they cobble together a competition with Blinx 2's multiplayer mode. There are only three people in the event, and it turns out to be a disaster.

Nintendo and the IOC create another licensing agreement so that there can be Nintendo games at the Olympics. Nintendo adds a loophole that lets them keep making Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Team Vitality : La fierté de la France aux pas chancelants

Préambule

            Quand on a une culture à représenter, il faut prouver. Quand on est la première structure française, il faut prouver. Quand on a un ensemble de fan, dévoué et amoureux du maillot, derrière nous, il faut prouver. Quitte à décevoir, quitte à faire des choix, quitte à dépenser des millions, il faut prouver. Prouver qu’on est les meilleurs, que personne ne fédère autant que nous, qu’on est la fierté de la France, ce grand pays, cette nation au cœur arrogant et à la population compétitive. Prouver que, au même titre qu’au football, qu’au volley, qu’au handball, on est capable de rivaliser, non, de dominer les autres pays. C’est dans cette optique qu’une structure, reconnaissable par ses couleurs jaunes et noires, Team Vitality s’est lancé dans l’eSport avec un seul but : prouver au monde que la France aussi est la meilleure dans l’eSport.

Introduction

En 2013, à l’époque où l’eSport était encore une scène de niche, Team Vitality s’est créée. C’est suite à l’impulsion de quatre jeunes hommes, dont encore les très connus Fabien « Neo » Devide et Corentin « Gotaga » Houssein, que la structure à l’abeille est née. Elle s’est fondée sur Call of Duty, et uniquement sur ce jeu, avec les membres-fondateurs. Gotaga était joueur pour la structure, Neo était son coach. Mais très vite, la structure française s’est diversifié sur d’autres jeux, tels que Fifa, Rainbow 6 Siege ou encore League of Legends. C’est en effet après le rachat du slot de Gambit que Vitality officie son arrivée dans la scène européenne de League of Legends, participant aux LCS EU la même année que G2 Esports, en 2016.

La cadence s’accélère lorsqu’en 2017, l’équipe aux abeilles s’étend sur les jeux H1Z1, Player Unknown’s Battleground (PUBG) et enfin Counter-Strike : Global Offensive. Mais cela ne s’arrête pas là, puisqu’un an plus tard, ils investissent dans une équipe sur Rocket League et signent des contrats avec des joueurs Fortnite. En bref, la structure est tentaculaire, en plus d’être touche-à-tout, et cela, sans parler des nombreux ambassadeurs qui diffusent et créent du contenu avec le logo et les vêtements de Vitality.

En termes de succès, Vitality a été couronné championne de l’ESL Pro League en 2016 sur Rainbow 6. La structure s’est créée un nom sur CS-GO avec leur joueur star et français Mathieu « ZywOo » Herbaut, et elle a dans son étagère un titre de champion du monde sur Rocket League datant de 2019. C’est une écurie française forte de son succès et qui compte parmi ses rangs de nombreux ultras, prêt à défendre bec et ongle leur structure (même quand il s’agit de défier le mur bleu de la Karmine Corp.). Mais qu’en est-il sur League of Legends ?

On ne peut pas dire que le succès était au rendez-vous dès leur entrée en LCS EU. C’était encore une jeune structure qui devait se battre contre le géant Fnatic, quand la structure était la seule impératrice de l’Europe, puis du nouvel arrivant G2, l’antihéros qui déplait à l’ancienne génération. Il n’y avait pas de place pour Vitality, qui s’est tout de même hissé à la troisième place vacante du podium lors de leur premier segment. Néanmoins, c’était un fait qui ne s’était pas reproduit par la suite, l’équipe entamant alors une longue traversée du désert. Puis, 2018 était arrivée.

L’équipe se retrouve à nouveau parmi les grandes structures, retrouvant une place confortable pour les playoffs des segments de printemps et d’été. L’équipe aux abeilles pouvaient remercier Daniele « Jizuke » Di Mauro, l’étalon italien qui a surpris sur la voie du milieu, ainsi que Lucas « Cabochard » Simon-Meslet, vétéran de l’équipe qui a su se remettre aux niveaux des meilleurs toplaners de la ligue. C’est à partir de ce moment-là que la course pour les Mondiaux s’était entamée. En effet, avec les points accumulés au printemps, la structure française était en nette avance pour représenter l’Europe aux Worlds. Et avec la descente aux Enfers de G2 ESports et leur victoire lors de la petite finale face à Misfits, une équipe redoutable qui est parvenue à faire une première moitié de segment sans défaite, l’équipe a été qualifié aux Mondiaux.

Mais parfois, le sort peut s’acharner. Lors du tirage des groupes, l’équipe française s’est trouvé dans une fâcheuse posture, tombant dans le « groupe de la mort » avec le grand favori du tournoi Royal Never Give Up ainsi que l’ancien champion du monde Generation Gaming. Pourtant, ils ont réussi à défier la fortune en remportant deux victoires contre les coréens de Generation Gaming et en faisant subir la première défaite aux hommes d’Uzi, RNG. Si l’histoire ne retiendra pas leur nom, puisqu’ils ont été éliminé lors du « Main-Event », ils ont néanmoins réussi à faire déchanter les ogres coréens et chinois et prouvé au monde entier qu’ils n’étaient pas infaillibles, d’autant plus qu’ils ont triomphé avec leur propre style.

Après 2018, Vitality ne parviendra jamais à trouver sa gloire d’antan. Quand bien même ils dépensent beaucoup d’argents pour leur équipe sur League of Legends, ils ont un gros problème sur le poste de jungler, puisqu’ils ne parviennent pas à trouver un joueur stable sur cette position. C’était un si gros problème que Vitality s’est retrouvé lors de l’été 2022 avec plus de quatre junglers en attente, sans pour autant trouver du succès. L’ensemble des joueurs de 2022 a été un échec. Ce projet de super-équipe n’a pas porté ses promesses, puisque l’équipe n’a pu aller plus haut que la sixième place. Alors, est-ce qu’en 2023, peut-on espérer mieux ?

Pour 2023, la Team Vitality a décidé de faire table rase du passé et de reforger une toute nouvelle équipe. Sur le botside, on a droit alors à Neon qui assurera le rôle d’AD carry. Il est connu pour être un des éléments du succès miraculeux de Misfits lors de 2022, quand bien même il ne joue qu’une poignée de champion. Pour l’accompagner sur la voie du bas, Kaiser sera là pour le supporter. Son entrée en LEC a fait grand bruit grâce à son style de jeu et ses champions uniques. Reste à savoir sur la sauce va prendre et s’il y aura une bonne synergie entre les deux joueurs. Du côté opposé de la carte, la toplane sera officiée par Photon. En effet, le joueur star Alphari a décidé de prendre une pause pour se ressourcer, restant cependant sous contrat avec la structure française. Son remplaçant coréen provient de l’académie T1, connu pour avoir fait émerger des joueurs tels que Zeus, Gumayusi ou encore Oner, dont le talent n’est point à douter. Alors, Photon sera sûrement du même acabit dans une compétition moins compétitive que celle du pays au matin calme. Enfin, pour compléter l’équipe, le jungler sera Bo. En plus d’être une première pour l’Europe, la LEC n’ayant jamais accueilli de joueur de LPL, le joueur est prometteur en plus d’être bourré de talent (On va y revenir.)

Analyse

Parmi les points forts à citer, on peut parler du topside. Photon est un aussi bon joueur de carry que de tanks, ce qui est un élément à ne pas négliger, d’autant plus que le vivier de talents européen à ce rôle est faible. Ensuite, la versatilité qu’apporte Kaiser à son rôle assure la phase de lane en plus d’épauler la voie du milieu. Enfin, tous les postes ont un énorme potentiel de carry individuel, ce qui a de quoi faire pâlir les autres écuries.

Mais il y a des défauts qui contrebalancent tout cela. D’abord, Perkz a de quoi nous interroger. S’il a été à son meilleur niveau chez G2 ESports, le succès n’est pas le même depuis son départ de la structure espagnole, d’autant plus que le niveau sur la voie du milieu n’a fait qu’augmenter depuis son départ. Alors, aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraitre, il est normal de le considérer comme le point faible de son équipe. Maintenant, on peut à tout moment assister à un éveil de son potentiel d’antan, ce qui serait destructeur pour les autres équipes. Ensuite, cela va faire un an et demi que Bo n’a pas participé à un match officiel. Être bon en classé est une chose, mais parvenir à jouer avec une équipe en est une autre. Surtout que l’un ne garantit pas l’autre (on se souviendra du colosse en soloq qu’était Magifelix, mais dont les pieds deviennent argiles quand il participe au circuit compétitif de Riot Games). Enfin, la plus grosse interrogation se trouve dans la barrière de la langue. Avec un Coréen et un Chinois dans leur équipe, la communication pourrait s’avérer compliquée, ce qui est un problème dans un jeu d’équipe tel que League of Legends. Est-ce que le monstre qu’est Bo sera fragilisé par cette barrière ?

VIT Bo – le destructeur venu d’Orient

Bo est un joueur dur à analyser. En effet, à cause de la situation particulière dans laquelle il s’est trouvé en Chine, on se retrouve avec des informations vieilles en plus de décrire une carrière brève. Lorsqu’il était jungler pour FPX, structure chinoise championne du monde, le joueur n’avait aucune défaite au compteur. Il avait une carrière prometteuse, mais son parcours véloce a vite été stoppé à cause d’une sombre affaire de match-fixing en LDL, deuxième division chinoise, et en LPL. Il aurait subi des pressions de son manager pour arranger les matchs qu’ils jouaient afin d’avantager des parieurs. Suite à ces pressions, le joueur a choisi de dénoncer la situation. Malheureusement pour lui, son élan de justicier est un préjudice, puisqu’il écopera d’une punition de 4 mois durant laquelle il a été interdit de jouer des matchs officiels. Suite à cette annonce, et malgré la levée de sa peine, il a été boycotté par les structures chinoises qui ne voulaient pas s’associer à lui et, surtout, à cette histoire. Vitality tirera profit de cette histoire pour lui faire signer un contrat chez eux, le chinois faisant alors le voyage jusqu’en Europe pour jouer dans l’une des ligues majeures.

Maintenant, avec le peu d’informations dont on dispose, il est obligatoire de se pencher sur ses statistiques en classé. Et on s’aperçoit qu’il est capable de tout jouer en plus d’avoir un potentiel de carry remarquable, à tel point qu’il trouve actuellement à la place n°6 du ladder. En plus, d’après ceux qui l’auraient rencontré dans leur partie, il est considéré comme un alien, sortant des mécaniques hors du commun.

Avec les statistiques récoltées sur ses matchs joués en LPL, Bo c’est :

Une participation au « premier sang » de 40%

Un ratio victoire/défaite de 100%

523 de damages par minutes

Un KDA de 5,3

Une participation aux éliminations de 68,5%

Maintenant, il a beau être un monstre, être le plus redoutable des junglers, son talent est caduque s’il ne parvient pas à communiquer dans un bon Anglais avec son équipe. D’autant plus qu’on peut se questionner sur sa synergie avec son nouveau toplaner.

Conclusion

Si on devait faire une analogie du mercato de Vitality, disons simplement qu’ils ont joué un tapis avec leur jeu de cartes. Et ce jeu de cartes peut être le meilleur coup de poker de tous les temps comme peut être une action ridiculement mauvaise. Quand bien même il y a peu de doutes, on peut se demander comment va se porter la synergie sur la voie du bas entre Kaiser et Neon. Enfin, est-ce que Perkz pourra assurer son rôle de carry d’antan ou sera-t-il cantonné à se faire porter par ses équipiers ? Tout ce qu’on peut savoir, c’est que cet ensemble a de quoi être la meilleure équipe que l’Europe n’a jamais portée, dérobant alors le titre à la line-up de G2 ESports en 2019. Cependant, avec tous les doutes que soulèvent cette équipe et avec le passé de la structure française, le futur pour les abeilles reste incertain.

Place attendue : dans le top 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article très long, mais quand on aborde une équipe aussi prestigieuse que Vitality, il faut savoir prendre son temps ! Sur ce, on se retrouve dans deux jours pour un nouvel article et passez une bonne journée/soirée !

Popularity Of Mobile Games In 2024

Imagine this! The summer holidays have just begun. The exams are over, and you want to go to your home and enjoy games. Of course, you are excited, but the PC is engaged, and someone is working on it. Instead of being disappointed, you choose to play the snake game on our old classic Nokia phone and manage to beat your high score!

Good old days, right? We had so much fun playing simple mobile games like Tetris and Snake on our mobile phones. The simple structure and straightforward rules make these games easy to understand and playable for everyone. 

Growing up we have observed all the developments in the preferences of gamers. PC games managed to dominate during the 2000s but the introduction of the touchscreen made the experience even more fulfilling. Phones with touchscreen capabilities and sleek features suddenly turned the tide in the favour of mobile games. These developments also widened the scope of mobile gaming as they were not limited to offline modes anymore. 

In 2011, we witnessed a new era with the introduction of extremely popular online mobile games like Temple Run, Subway Surfers, and Angry Birds. All the kids and teenagers started demanding their parents buy them a mobile phone instead of a PC. The games became so popular that they managed to overshadow the market of PC games. 

The reason is obvious. The most simple games are the ones that attain the highest popularity. Games with complex gameplay are not always easy to understand by everyone and they may even ruin the experience of gaming because of being too complicated to understand and follow. Professional gamers may prefer complex gameplay but the majority of our population plays these games as a pastime. Casual gamers prefer games that are easy to follow and easy to understand. Moreover, casual games are not limited to the young generation. Games like Candy Crush and Solitaire are being enjoyed by the adult population regularly because they act as stressbusters. We can certainly say that simple games with easy-to-follow rules end up dominating the gaming sector.

With people being stuck in their houses and uncertain about their future, classic games with simple gameplay made a solid comeback in the year 2020. Online mobile gaming saw its peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. People just wanted to engage in fun activities to make them forget about the dire situation. Multiplayer games achieved the highest success during these testing times. Even though PUBG’s mobile version was launched in 2018, it gained the highest popularity during the pandemic. People who preferred board games over action games often engaged in games like Ludo and Scrabble. Due to the financial crisis, some gamers were even able to monetize games like PUBG to their benefit and started building income. Competitions were being arranged between the best players on a large scale to find out the best player amongst them.

After understanding in brief about the popularity of mobile games, you must be looking for a platform to play online mobile games. Now, there are thousands of platforms available online. But have you ever seen a gaming format that can help you earn five times the amount that you have invested? Bazigar can certainly do that for you! With downloads reaching the sky limit, Bazigar has become the best platform for playing mobile games in 2024. Did you ever imagine that one day you would be able to play your favorite Snake, Tetris, and Solitaire with a large scale of players to earn money online? We have created exciting maps for Snake, Tetris, and Solitaire according to the time of the day to make the gaming experience even more immersive.

Additionally, if you are skilled enough, you might even be able to earn five times the amount that you invest in this game. The entry fee starts from a meager ₹10 rupees but there are no limitations. If you can invest a higher amount, the winnings will get multiplied by over five times. With an adaptable interface and easy-to-follow rules, Bazigar is suitable for all adults who are planning to build a side income.

Week 10: Gaming Communities, Social Gaming and Live Streaming

welcome back to nn’s blog ♡₊˚ 🎮・₊✧

Hello peeps! In this week of my digital communities blog, we're diving into something super exciting – Gaming Communities, Social Gaming, and Live Streaming, so now let’s get started!

A short question -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈

Have you ever spent hours watching someone play your favorite game, thinking, “I could totally do that!”?

For real, I think so too! A bit about me, I used to be super into gaming during MCO, and can be considered as a certified gamer girl for sure hahahaha!! I played a ton of mobile games like Honor of Kings, PUBG, Eggy Party, and etc. For computer games, I’ve played Genshin Impact (I lost my account sobbing), Ark Survival, Wuthering Waves, which is the one I’m currently playing with.

Now, let’s talk about Twitch. Twitch is the ultimate hub for gamers and streamers. If you’re into epic RPGs, intense FPS battles, or cozy farming sims, Twitch is a great choice for you! Twitch isn’t just about watching people play games, it’s about building communities. Take streamers like PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye, for example. These streamers aren’t just gamers; they’re entertainers, community leaders, and friends to thousands of viewers. They create spaces where people can play games together, chat, and share their love for gaming (Taylor 2018).

PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, started his journey on YouTube and quickly became one of the most popular content creators on the platform. His hilarious commentary, genuine personality, and diverse content, ranging from gaming to memes and vlogs, have earned him a massive following. PewDiePie's influence extends beyond gaming; he's known for his charity work and his ability to connect with fans on a personal level (Johnson & Woodcock 2019).

@/PewDiePie posted on YouTube I love to watch him play Poppy Playtime fr

Next, we have Jacksepticeye, who is Seán McLoughlin, is another well known YouTuber in the gaming community. Known for his energetic personality and positive attitude, Jacksepticeye has built a loyal fanbase through his Let's Play videos and live streams. His catchphrase, "Top of the mornin' to ya, laddies!" has become iconic among his followers. Somehow, Jacksepticeye also uses his platform to support various charities and spread positivity, making him a beloved figure in the gaming world (Hilvert-Bruce et al. 2018).

@/jacksepticeye playing Poppy Playtime 2

But what makes Twitch so special? For starters, it’s all about interaction. Streamers chat with their viewers in real-time, answer questions, and even take game suggestions (Hamilton, Garretson & Kerne 2014). It’s like hanging out with a friend who just happens to be a gaming pro. Plus, the emotes and chat memes add an extra layer of fun and connection.

Remember the hype around Among Us in 2020? Pewdiepie has collaborated with other famous streamers such as Mr Beast, Corpse Husband and Disguised Toast to play this game. This collaboration has brought a lot of hilarious content, watching them play with their friends, strategize, and, of course, betray each other was pure entertainment gold. 

y'all can watch through this link below

So, what’s the takeaway? Twitch and gaming communities are all about connection, creativity, and fun. Whether you’re an experienced gamer or just a beginner of streaming, there’s a place for you here!

Well that’s all for today! stay tuned for my next blog <3 see ya!
