The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is smooth. If you are looking for a new battle royale game to play, Super People is definitely worth checking out.

Tips: Things to Know About Super People Game

8 Things You Need to Know About Super People: The Battle Royale Game Taking the World by Storm

1. Super People is a Battle Royale Game

A ‘Battle royale’ means the aim is to be the last person standing. Up to 100 players can join a match, and they will all start off in a random location on the map.

There are many interesting locations to discover on the map. As the match progresses, the safe area will shrink, and if you’re outside of it, you’ll start taking damage.

Plenty of weapons and items are scattered around the map, so you’ll need to loot as much as possible if you want to stand a chance.

2. Weapons

When starting a match, you must find some weapons and items. Super People have all sorts of weapons, from assault to sniper rifles, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

You’ll also want to find some health items so that you can heal up when needed. Once you’ve got some weapons and items, start making your way toward the safe area.

Avoid combat if possible, as you don’t want to waste any resources early in the match.

3. Use Cover

When fighting, make sure to take cover as frequently as you can. A great way to get kills without putting yourself in too much danger is to peek out from behind cover and fire quickly at enemies.

If you’re caught out in the open, however, there’s not much you can do except fight your way back to cover.

If necessary, use grenades, but watch out not to blow yourself up in the process!

4. Communication is the Key

The most important thing to remember in Super People is that communication is key. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, let everyone know what’s going on so everyone can make the best decisions possible.

If someone’s low on health or needs help fighting an enemy team, make sure they know it so that they can get the support they need.

5. Objective of the Game

Surviving to the very end is the game’s goal. Players must eliminate other players using their skills and strategies to accomplish this. The game is set in a large arena where players are spawned randomly.

When the game starts, players have only a few minutes to find weapons and supplies before the fighting begins. Super People supports up to 100 players at once. As a result, the fighting can be intense, and players must use all of their resources to survive.

6. What are the controls like?

The controls are incredibly easy to use and comprehend. Move around using the WASD keys, aim with the mouse, and shoot with a left click. There are also hotkeys for using power-ups and calling in airstrikes.

7. What are the graphics like?

The graphics are excellent! They are realistic and detailed, immersing you in the game world and virtually providing a real-world experience.

8. Cost Of The Game

Super People is a free-to-play game, so you can download and start playing it right away! To get more out of this game, check out https://battlelog.co/super-people-hacks-cheats-aimbot-esp/

However, if you want to help the game’s creators and get some extra goodies, you can buy optional items in-game.

Conclusion

Super People is a brand new battle royale game that promises to bring something unique and exciting to the genre.

Consider these eight suggestions if you want to join in the fun.

Microsoft to celebrate 15th OneDrive birthday with major update

Microsoft to celebrate 15th OneDrive birthday with major update

Microsoft has been at the vanguard of the technical revolution for a long time. And to celebrate the 15th anniversary of OneDrive, the cloud-based system will be given a massive revamp.

Over the coming months, there will be a new landing page – OneDrive Home – which will be the focal point of the app. It will contain a whole host of innovative features to simplify the file-sharing experience.

In many ways, OneDrive Home mimics the Office web app, where you can organize all the files you recently accessed, and this will be split into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF file types.

OneDrive Home Microsoft new feature update

The OneDrive home experience will be more efficient, so you will be able to catch up on any work or tasks you have missed while you have been away on holiday.

There will also be an array of updated collaboration tools so that colleagues can work on active tasks remotely. This will include threaded comments, @mentions, real-time co-authoring, and highlighted changes. These features will all be available in the Activity tab, so you can see any updates in real-time.

To a certain extent, there are elements of OneDrive Home that will mirror Google Docs as you will be able to view any edits made and any issues can be resolved.

The new home page will act as the central hub, and the OneDrive home landing page will be rolled out to schools and offices.

But it’s not just the OneDrive home page that will be given a makeover. No, Microsoft is also expected to roll out a special photo story feature for the OneDrive mobile app, which will essentially replicate the stories section of Instagram. While this will be available to Australian users soon, US users won’t benefit from this service until later in the year.

Companies are always finding new and intuitive ways to make tweaks so that they can remain relevant and connect with their target audiences. This is prevalent with technology businesses, as software updates need to be carried out to ensure computers can run to optimal performance. The same could be said of the retail industry where shops want to tailor the experience for clients especially when buying products online.

However, the same can be said of digital casinos. Gamblers will want to play at the best sites that are user-friendly, have a good collection of titles, and rewards them for the time spent there. Many of the top operators will be well stocked with an array of casino promotions to tap into, such as no deposit bonuses as well as free spins to entice new players and retain the loyalty of existing players. 

Microsoft’s plans for the OneDrive home are bold but exciting. If anything, it will enhance the user experience and make collaborating with colleagues easier.

If you have enjoyed what you have read, you should check out the OneDrive home page when it is finally released. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled on Microsoft for any further updates about the remodelled product.

Fences 4 brings a modern desktop experience to Windows 10 and 11

Fences 4 brings a modern desktop experience to Windows 10 and 11

Fences 4 introduces new features that will streamline workflows while keeping your desktops organized. The application developed by Stardock makes it easy for Windows PC users to automatically organize shortcuts and icons on their desktops into custom-sized spaces called fences.

Fences 4 Stardock Software Brad Sams

The latest version of Fences introduces the Peek and Desktop Display feature to Windows 10 and 11 users. Peak lets users instantly view their fences by pressing Windows key + space, making accessing content significantly faster. For example, while working in a program like Adobe ® Premiere ® or Photoshop ®, users can bring a folder portal filled with their source footage and images to the surface of their desktop by pressing the configurable hotkey. This eliminates the need to minimize the application and go searching for the required asset in File Explorer.

Pressing Windows key + D hotkey lets you configure the Desktop Display feature. Either toggle or press-and-hold to streamline your workflow for accessing content on your desktop.

“Fences 4 is designed to deliver a modern desktop experience. Fences is the best way to organize your desktop, and the new “Peek” feature makes it possible to access all of your Fences content at any time and within any application. Your workflow will never be the same.”

Brad Sams, Vice President and General Manager of Stardock Software

Along with its new features, Fences 4 has been optimized so that it loads before the desktop when a PC is booted up, making it not only more functional but also more performant.

Fences 4 is available starting at $9.99 here or through Stardock’s Object Desktop suite.
