why hello another cloud has departed the vehicle oh yeah a big one it's large in
in charge. Red nose honking, massive shoes.
I mean to be honest with you, others may be terrifying. This one may even have a rainbow
I'm a little weak, y'know.
New set absurd, yeah, it's pretty bad actually, dude.
Um, it's actually like super fucked up, you'll see, we'll talk about it.
We're not supposed to be seeing you today, dude, I'm just putting my glasses on, man.
Explain please, I will, I will.
It's bad.
bad funny or bad no it's just bad bad like it's actually like devastating to
people's lives bad it's a it's like you should go to jail bad probably will yeah
Yeah, it's bad.
It's like not funny how-how bad, yeah.
It's funny like, oh, another clown has escaped the car bed.
It's a laugh so you don't get irrationally mad at him.
I don't even think it would be irrationally mad.
It's a normal bed.

If you want to understand what you're doing, just click on the link in the description below.
I'll see you in the next one.
Bye.
Alright, so, because I don't like being around the bush about this, I've been talking to some developers that were from Ashes of Creation for the last, I don't know, several years.
We've been buddies with them because of the fact that we ran one of the largest guilds in the world for Ashes of Creation.
We had 1.200 guilds active at the same time in the game, because you could only have a maximum of 50 people in one guild.
enormous. I was the largest content creator for the game, for a great deal of time as well because
I'm very into social sandbox games and saw a lot of potential on it. So since the collapse of all
of this and Steven turning into a giant fiery piece of shit flaming out across the internet and
taking everything and running, it's been great. Fantastic human being. I've still been talking
to those devs. People who are still trapped on the inside and don't know what to do because
Their job doesn't exist, but still exists, none of them have been paid.
So I'm not going to do it right now. None of them have gotten paid.
They keep getting emails from this new board. They said, this is the third one.
All of them are AI written with no legal backing saying weird crap.
This is such a shit show. I hope the courts pulled them apart.
And then, even today, that was, what was that? That was on the third. So it was three days ago.
And now today, they said they haven't been paid anything. And they pulled away the termination
letter from their HR app. So some of them can't even apply for unemployment properly now.
Like, there needs to be court cases over this. Everybody involved needs to be hit with fines.
and potentially criminal liability at this point, dude, like this is you're dealing with 250 people's livelihood
and their ability to get unemployment at that point, like that's
that's insane, dude. So, and the thing is, is like, we're not just getting this from like one employee
and it's it's actually a person that we know works there, like it's not like a
like a person claiming to be an employee or some like weird
altar counter, something like this.
These are people that we've been talking to that are on the
inside that have been working on the game the whole time we've
been playing the last several years.
So it's not like some unknown agent or some dupe to count.
None of that shit.
Like it's, it's a person that we know.
It's just fucked up, dude.
So like, we're waiting to find out like what's, what's going to
happen to the company, to the organization, but like, steam is
already taken it down. So if we go to steam, we go look at ashes of creation, right? Go
pull this shit up. They're already at 16% positive. You can't buy it on steam anymore.
People have started getting refunds even if they paid in, even if they played more than
two hours. So that's already happening, right? If we go down to the actual reviews, we can
see that 11,610 of the people who left reviews actually bought it on Steam.
Another 5,865 bought it from Intrepid from before it was Steam. The reason why is because if you
buy it on Steam, then your review counts as a Steam purchase. If you buy it on Intrepid Store,
then it'll mark you as product received for free, even if you didn't get it for free. And I know
this because I got it that way. So if we go up here, I saw some really interesting ones with
this is like they were like, oh, you marked it is received for free. That's not how that
shit works. If we go into edit root for review, you can see that I did not check this box.
And if we go back out, you can see it's still marked product received for free. Anybody who
got it through Intrepid's website and then received it on Steam as a result of already owning a license
from a pre-purchase from Intrepid's website, their review gets marked like this. And that way you
can tell people who were steam purchasers versus non-steam purchasers and you can see how well
this game did on steam. That's bullshit. I know it sucks. It's awful feeling, right? It sounds
like a bug, but it's not because technically we did receive it for free on steam because we bought
it outside of steam. Yeah, it even tagged yours as free. Exactly. It's gross. It's stupid as
shit, but like that is the way it is. So you can see 11,599 of these purchases were done on steam.
Yeah. Yeah, steam just has to keep track of analytics, but this shows you how many people
bought it on steam. It's a lot. It's not a small amount. It's the majority of the player base at
this point, because you've got 11,599 versus 5,864. If you go to the other, you can see it's all,
it's all that. And it's just like, what the hell, man? Like it's not, like this is not great.
Like it's really not great, but you can see as you go down this,
Like, anyone that has this is somebody that received it before the Steam days.
Yeah.
It was also on sale too.
They put it actually on sale.
Let's confirm that.
I want to make sure.
SteamDB and we'll go to Ashes of Creation.
We'll go into that and we can see the actual prices.
Yeah, they actually put it on 15% off sale.
What do they do?
but it looks like they did it at the very beginning.
So they did a 15% off sale right in the beginning,
and then they made it full price all the time
and then it died, okay, yeah.
Yeah, I just, I'm kind of blown away by this,
to be honest with you,
just the treatment of the individual workers, right?
Players number currently zero, like, I don't know.
I don't even think you can play right now, can you?
Can you actually play this game currently?
1,000, there's still a thousand people somehow playing it.
Bro, I would uninstall that launcher.
You have a company that's not even paying its employees now.
I would not play this game because you don't know if that launcher is going to turn out to be some insane shit, dude.
Uninstall that shit from your computer. Legitimately so.
Like, they could drop any update they wanted to that.
They're already delisted from Steam.
You do not want yet. You do not want to have that installed on your machine right now. You do not like uninstall it
That's a very not good idea
Yeah, last hold up to the apocalypse. It's not even that dude like that's a yeah
I could turn into ransomware through all kinds of shit. I would not trust it. I wouldn't trust that at all
And it's running easy anti-cheat. I
Would not trust that thing on install that from your computer like that's a bad idea. Yeah, that's a real bad idea
idea. So like, no, no, I'm out. That's, that's insane. But yeah, from hearing from that employee,
they haven't, they still haven't been paid. It is now the sixth, right? They pulled away
the termination letter from their HR app. So most of them can't even apply for unemployment
properly, because you need a termination letter in order to apply for employment. And the
only mail that they've received from this new board is all AI generated trash. That
is, uh, got no legal backing and is saying weird shit.
Like it's, it's bad, dude.
Well, I do on the subject because there's 250 employees that are losing
their job in the most spectacular way possible or completely getting ripped off.
And to be honest with you, I hope that there's a legal investigation into it.
That's why I'm talking about the subject.
I don't give a shit about the game anymore, dude.
I give a shit about the people who are still working there that are screwed over.
Like if you lose a job, you need to be able to receive unemployment.
You have to like that is bonkers shit. Like that is that is outrageously bad for them
I know Steven got away with the bag, right?
You know, he transferred his his home into his his partner's name before all this shit went down
Which is wild on in and of itself, but this
That's all the people that got left behind all the developers that they hired in from the games industry every single one of them is getting
screwed right now
Just not paying people
While you're legally obligated to do so under the Warn Act for the next 60 days and then on top of it
Denying them the letter that they need to be able to receive unemployment
Like are you kidding me dude?
Like that's that's completely insane. Can you even collect an employment? The company doesn't exist. Yes, you can yeah
Unemployment still exists. You have to pay as an employer
You have to pay into unemployment every month every time you pay an employee part of that goes through unemployment
It's like a whole big thing. Like I do it as well. Every time I pay the moderators,
there's a certain amount of tax that goes into it. There's like corporate taxes and
like state taxes and all this shit that goes into it. Like that's all it is. Yeah, no, it's
it's the the idea of seeing it play out this way is nuts, man. Yeah. If they're willing to take
hostage to their employees, there's no doubt they'd be willing to do the same for the customers.
Yeah, uninstall that launcher. Do not have that shouldn't be a machine. That is that is dangerous
his health isn't that isn't criminal oh it definitely is yeah there's that is
definitely a like they're breaking the law there man that is oh absolutely a
crime yeah yep and the thing that's really funny about this is I don't think
Stephen will get any of that on him because he resigned in protest because
the board was doing this so it's like this all just feels really calculated to
me at this point, you know, I think, I think this feels really calculated and it, it doesn't,
it just blows me away at how actually awful it is. Yeah. That's really it. It's just really
awful. No one watching the servers. It's a haggars dream. I mean, I guess I don't, I
don't know what the hell else is going on there. So it's likely to be left holding
the bag. Yeah, unfortunately, it's the players and the devs, you know? Yep. That's really
it. That's just insane. What do you mean you still think that was made a mistake? Who
said, who said that? Did I ever say that? Are you having one of those like, I like waffles,
you must hate pancakes moment? Like, what are you talking about? What do you get? I was
talking to one of the developers, they still haven't been paid. And the termination later,
letter in their HR app has been removed. So now a lot of them can't even sign up for unemployment.
Yeah. Yeah. You see the videos about Crimson Desert looks way too good. And Crimson Desert is
single player though, which is cool. But like not kind of my thing, you know, too much planning
for someone allegedly that is bad at management. Exactly. That is exactly it. Like there's no way
that you pull that shit off without planning that for months in advance, transfer of the home at the last minute, suddenly like protesting and resigning because of the board that never existed.
All the employees receiving like AI generated emails that have no legal backing, employees not getting paid despite you having multiple years of runway for the money.
like the HR app removing their termination letters, like this is,
this is getting that level of like corporate scam shit that's wild.
Is there factual proof of the board yet?
So the the devs themselves have been receiving emails from the board
and they've gotten their third one so far and quote, all of them are AI written
with no legal backing saying weird crap.
Yeah, I'm going to ask them now if they can send me those emails, man, because like I
want to publicize this so that they get investigated because this is stupid.
That's getting insane.
Yeah, the review bombs warranted.
I'm not giving it to LDR again.
Basically, we've been talking to a developer
on the inside that we know is a dev,
someone we've been talking to for years
as they've been developing in the game.
A person who, they've been talking to us
about stuff that they fixed and things like that.
We've known them the whole time
that I've been playing the game, right?
And they said, quote, they haven't been paid anything
and they have pulled away the termination letter
from their HR app,
so they can't even apply for unemployment properly.
And also they've received three emails from the board and quotes, um,
and that's, and all of them have been AI generated with no legal backing saying
weird shit. And I'm, I'm asking that they can send me the emails.
So I can make that shit public cause this is the, the state's gotta,
honestly, the state of California is going to have to do an investigation
because they're incorporated in California and they're very strict workers,
rights laws in California. If you don't pay your people,
California state will come after you,
even if you're a day late, the California state will come after you.
So the idea of doing this is, no, California is vicious about that, man.
They give a shit, like a big shit about workers' rights in California.
You cannot screw that up.
Would it be salvageable?
It could be open?
No, I don't believe so.
And the reason I don't believe so is because of the way that we saw it play out
in terms of developer time required to fix even simple issues.
So it feels to me structurally like it was made wrong.
And I made my voice very clear on that
throughout this entire phase.
So yep.
Yep.
Twitch is promoting Roblox.
I saw that.
Weird choice.
Yeah.
Said you messaged to Discord.
Did you see the JobFair tweet from Margaret?
No.
What is this?
There you go. Yeah.
Cronus talked about it yesterday. Yeah, it's terrible.
Well, you're angry now, Lincoln.
Oh, no, that's whatever. Yeah, I saw that one.
Yeah, I saw that one.
You just got to hear what changed the employees' love had been paid.
It's six days into the month.
Yeah.
Our employees get paid for domestic employees from the 28th to the 30th, depending on transfer
times.
And for international employees, it's usually the first to the third, depending on transfer
times, no matter what.
That's how that works.
Yeah.
Our labor laws in Arizona, it's very lenient to employers.
No, they're in California, man.
That's the thing is like the business is incorporated in California.
employees have to be under California state law. And they're, they're breaking California
state law. Like you have to pay them. You have to. Like, that's, yeah, California needs
to investigate this and they need to slam them. Yeah, it's not a small business here.
250 employees is a shitload. Yeah. I was a law in us, you have seven days to pay the
the latest percent when it comes.
With California, they're real vicious about it.
And that's the thing is like,
that's why California state needs to get involved with this.
Also, if employees need to be,
if they did the WARN Act,
they have to pay them for the next 60 days.
And they haven't even paid them the first one.
And they're already, they're way late already.
You can't terminate your employees
and then unterminate your employees
to avoid unemployment.
Bingo, because they have to pay unemployment.
And like, it's supposed to be covered
underneath every one of their payments anyway,
but you still have to pay extra on top of that.
If they're doing that, unless the state covers it,
there's like a bunch of different ways for that.
But the fact that they're not doing it is,
yeah, there's a public war and act paperwork
and see a good website, you got a link.
I'd love to see that.
Yeah.
What is this?
Love your content, any golden tip for someone
just starting off with the first game, Dave?
Yeah, don't take it too seriously.
Don't quit your day job, do something fun.
Something fun on the side, make it arcade game.
Make a weird, shitty arcade game.
Our first one was, I'll show you actually.
It was like, I came from AAA man,
but like I never had made something on my own before,
you know, and I was came from like QA and like security.
And I was like, I'm just gonna go make something
shitty and weird, right?
Even, even, you know, been in the industry so long.
So we made this, is it called Champions of Breakfast,
a little arcade game, right?
I'd never made anything before.
I don't know what the hell I was doing.
And I worked in an engine I never used before.
And we made it from concept to launch
with leaderboards and and difficulty classes and all kinds of shit.
24 days.
It works.
Worked great.
Super fun.
And if you look in the background, you see, you see that in the background,
that rug, you see, you see that dog down there.
That's Baron from Harpout.
And that's Laura's floor from his bedroom and the rug that Baron sleeps on.
Uh, we knew we wanted to make Harpout.
We just weren't good enough yet to make it.
So we just do.
Yeah.
We just did.
Leave words online. Yeah, we use Steam's features for it. Super easy. Yeah.
If you look at that too, do you see how the ball is like red?
So Shay was our artist for this one. And I was talking to Shay was like,
why is the tennis ball red, man?
And she got like real nervous. And she's like, I, uh,
and I was like, okay, just spill the beans. What's going on?
She's red green color blind.
She actually colors everything via hex codes.
She colors by number, dude, for all of it.
And that's why we ended up doing the golden purple heart for Heartbound,
was because those two colors work with red-green color blindness.
The whole game is designed around red-green color blindness being baked into the game.
That's the whole point.
So that was the moment that I found out.
It's like a super dark reddish brown, yeah.
And to her, it looks yellow.
So that's quite funny.
Yeah, that's what the heart about heart looks like that. So like, I don't know, dude, you learn shit. Go make stuff. Go make stuff weird, you know, and get it out there in front of people, but game turned out fun.
It actually worked out really nicely.
But dude, this is a, this is really messed up.
Yeah, it was really messed up.
Are you for a hotel made by FNAF?
Yeah.
FNAF is in the news a lot right now for very weird reasons.
No.
Not the best.
2026, what a year so far.
This year is weird as shit, dude.
It's like you took a clown car and then you poured it out into it.
You know what it is?
Everyone did a shoey out of a clown shoe.
We got to redo it.
We got to redo it.
Why is FNAF in the news? Um, do you really want to know?
It's gonna get really weird. So FNAF is in the news right now because Jeffrey Epstein,
inside of his emails, really liked looking at Five Nights at Freddy's pornography
and was linking it to other people in his organization.
And now that's a matter of public record.
Why is 2026 like this?
I don't know.
But it's horrifying.
And I wish I didn't know it.
Basically this whole year so far has been like zinch.
Dude, like all of it is zinch.
I decided to look.
I know now, I have the knowledge, and I will never be the same.
Yeah.
It gets real weird in there.
Yeah.
But actually Freddy's photography. Yeah dude.
It's in there. It's a...
It upsets me a lot.
At least I heard Long was awesome. Yeah.
I'll tell you right now, if your best thing from all of 2026 so far is a movie about being
trapped underwater in a tiny little object that constantly is blood rushing into it and
you're dying of claustrophobia and drowning, that kind of makes sense to me.
Yeah, that seems like a highlight so far.
Yeah.
It's great.
It's a good year.
Yeah.
Good year!
Yeah!
Pick up the phone? I won't. I don't want to know who's sending it in.
guys basically the way that I feel about this is we got ads we're gonna have to
wait till the ads are over wait till the ads are over then we'll talk about it
we're going to wait
Oh, I telep'd it.
You can't say it's been boring though.
It's content.
But at what cost?
Yeah.
Sometimes... sometimes maybe we don't need content. You know, sometimes.
Maybe anything for content isn't so sustainable after all, is it?
I have really enjoyed watching as all of the conspiracy theories of the last like ten
years are slowly coming true though.
Put it in the content content, yeah.
While they deal with a devs game full rights they have cd to criminal access not really
See how IP law works.
Was there news on IOC?
Yeah, the devs haven't been paid.
Still.
Yeah, I heard they added a flamethrower.
Is it not called a flamethrower?
Is it something weird?
Search goblin?
I may need to restart the server to get the new update.
and
grab that
and restarting it up
Yeah, we're back from the ads, but the way that I feel about this is basically we got
Hytale because we all wished for it, and then the monkeys paw curled.
And now all of this other shit is happening.
I mean, we got it.
Everything outside of it's lit on fire, but we have Hytale.
Fantastic.
That's great.
You just linked the CAGov websites
that list the Warnock notices.
Seeing as this is your first time chat ever,
I don't think you did.
Can you please link them for real?
Because it says first time chat around your name
and you have no other messages.
So where is it?
What?
Yeah, that's really weird.
How do you feel about shrimp being able to see more colors than us?
And we're just trying to make up for being a shrimp dude, and it doesn't make them any less delicious
YouTube chat don't put it in YouTube chat put it in twitch chat
YouTube deletes links before I'm allowed to see them because YouTube is a brilliant website made by geniuses
It's great and twitch goes. Hey, maybe the streamer wants to see that link even if we block it
Be like twitch don't be like YouTube
There we go
What is this line excel sheet line 936 oh
It actually you actually have to go into this giant excel sheet to see this
List the vornack notices
Which one though dude?
This goes to June, 2025.
Oh, there we go, July 1st to present.
Hold up, I'm going to hide this real fast.
Oh my God, the Excel, really?
Oh, it's gigantic.
Why?
Hold up.
All right.
I'm blind.
It's bright white.
You said it was online, 936.
There's so many of these.
936 intrepid studios, closure permanent.
Number of employees is 123.
I'm going to send this over to that dev.
Yeah, I'm going to send it a div.
I'm going to copy that.
Copy.
I'm going to dump it into here.
One sec.
Removing the address from this.
Yeah, it says number of employees is 123.
What is the 200 of this? Is that part of the address? It is.
And their code is 51 information. Okay. So this right here is San Diego County
saying what county they're in. It's saying that it's happening on January 31st.
It is processed on February 2nd.
So it was submitted. The notice went out. It was processed by this state.
Intrepid Studios Inc. The closure is permanent, and it only had 123 employees.
We know that's incorrect, so why are they underlisting the United Employees?
I'm staying 123 employees in the Warn Act notice.
Yeah, so that's super weird. Something smells. I don't know what it is. Not counting contractors.
Don't know how many contractors that we don't know how the split of a full on employees and contractors. Yeah. Yeah, we don't know.
We don't know
Even if you're remote
You're still paying them for California. You have to like everything's listed through that. So
what I'm interested in is
Why is that number so low and why are you have employees been still not paid and
Then also why is their termination letter been pulled away from their HR app?
So they can't even apply for unemployment
Something smells it just smells whatever this is it smells bad, and I like it, and I hope California takes out the trash
Yep
The notice only required the workers in California, but it was 210 employees release total I
Wouldn't believe a goddamn word they say
Legitimately, so I would not believe a damn word that they say I
I think that any time you hear something from that company in any way from Steve and any of them
Do not believe it
At all I wouldn't believe anything they say at all. Yeah, so like
Nope, I hope California does an investigation. I hope that they get audited by the IRS. I wish them a very unpleasant government time
I'm not a big fan of the government. In fact, I hate the government, but
But, government is what needs to handle this one right now, and if they don't, I get to
hit the government even more than I already do.
This is the reason that government exists to stop companies from doing shit like this
to workers.
This is the thing that I am okay with them doing.
This is the part of government oversight that I'm cool with.
Go figure out what the hell is happening to these employees.
Stop this piece of shit from doing this.
Stop it.
California, get your ass in gear and figure this out. IRS, get your ass in gear and go
and investigate this. That's how that should go. It should be an audit on their company
entirely. More than that, just federal. Yeah, the IRS has to get involved to audit the company's
books. There's going to be a whole thing with that. State of California needs to look into
the way that the workers were traded because they're California state workers. There's
a lot of shit that needs to happen from here, dude. There's a Reddit link breaking down.
Yeah, but that would require me to go to Reddit. I don't want to go to Reddit. I want to have
But I want to have a good day.
So I'm going to do is I'm going to talk about the parts that I care about right
now, which is, I hope the government looks into this state of California, the IRS.
So it's got to be state and federal level for both of these.
And I hope that those workers get paid their fair share.
And they say stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's, but it's bad, dude.
It's bad and trepid makers of ashes ashes of creation. Yes, that is the bad is correct
Also in other nudes or nudes well in other news
I've been going through and and reviewing all of the game jam games
If you've gotten a review you will see something that breaks down like this in
The notes of your game and you will have stars on it to say how many stars in each section that you've got
Also, I had to disqualify a couple of games because they were using AI-generated art that
is very clearly against the rules of the game gym. We're told not to do this. Why are you like
this? You wasted all of your time just to do that. That's, that's, no, stop it. So those ones got
directly disqualified. Yeah. Yep. Yep. And that's how that works. How many viruses this year? So far,
zero, which is nice. It's good to see. But we'll see how many it is by the end. Yeah,
picked up doing yesterday and you don't even have a lot of it. Oh dude, the first 300 hours of
that game, awesome. The end game is a bit weird. Yeah.
Like the game is amazing up until you get to end game and then end game is kind of,
it kind of feels like they lost direction, which is interesting to me. Like I really like
the early game, I really liked the first like 300 hours, the surviving the wilderness and like
being afraid of the worm and like they did a really, really good job. They're really good job.
And then they kind of pulled back the deep desert and it wasn't dangerous anymore. And now they've
added a PDEN game, but I'm struggling to understand the feeling and direction of that PDEN game.
And then yeah, I think the game just shines when it's it's a survival
I think it shines as a survival game, dude. I really do and I think that they need to
Really focus on that direction
Because trying to theme park it for the end game doesn't really make a lot of sense for this kind of game
I'll explain kind of why right?
Dune really shines because of durability loss
Everything in Dune, Arrakis takes everything, right? Arrakis will take everything from you. You need to have water. You need to make sure that you are like equipped to go out in the wilderness. You need to make sure that you're paying attention to your durability. It's all durability and water. Everything is.
So you need to make sure that you have these resources.
Your items have attrition, right?
They fall away over time.
So if you have a system like this,
where every time you die, you lose a percentage of durability.
Every time you deal damage,
you lose a percentage of durability.
Every time you take a hit,
you lose a percentage of durability.
Like this matters, this adds up really fast.
And when you repair the item,
a percentage of the max durability is removed.
So like when that happens,
Eventually the item becomes worthless.
It doesn't work anymore.
So now you added in Mythic Plus style dungeons
from World of Warcraft, right?
And Mythic Plus style dungeons are fun
in World of Warcraft.
But if you add them to a system
where you're losing durability every time you die,
you're losing durability every time you use an item
or get hit, and then when you repair it,
it loses maximum durability.
This feels like a kick in the balls.
So like, they need to figure out how to balance this for punishment versus reward, and I don't think that balance is correct yet.
It feels way more punishing than it is rewarding right now.
And it kind of reminds me of Eve online when they did the scarcity updates.
And like scarcity updates and Eve were like, you can do anything, but every time you do, you'll make less than it cost you.
Because they were trying to drain resources out of the universe, which like didn't feel good.
And they got to find this balance.
I know that this system is new, like they just implemented this, but the only feedback you can give is like,
when you're attaching mods to your weapons and your armor, they have you lose a percentage of max durability for doing that.
Get rid of that. Get rid of that.
There's no, there's no reason to punish the player.
They've already gone through a dungeon to get the blueprint.
They've already used resources to build it. They've already used resources to build the item
That's already breaking from going in that dungeon in the first place and they've already used resources maybe to repair that item
Why are you adding this on top of that?
That just feels like a kick in the balls. It just doesn't it's it makes you feel bad
forgetting the upgrade and I just don't think
That feels good as a player
Like it just doesn't feel good as a player
You know, there's balances, you shouldn't sit like shit like that.
They'll figure that out.
But this, this system doesn't seem to work right now.
And I understand wanting to infinitely scaling end game for the PvE players.
There has to be something where they feel good for getting the item.
And right now, when you get the item, you go, I don't know if that feels good.
Maybe that's going to suck.
That's never a place you want to be.
That's never a place you want to be as a player.
You know, like that's that's not how it works
The only reason mythic plus works in World of Warcraft is because mythic plus while scaling infinitely and giving you better and better gear
That system you have that gear forever
So you invest your time into perfecting your run so you can get the perfected gear
It stays forever in your character and if you have stuff
That's like you can't perfect your run because by perfecting your run you die a bunch of times and you lose maximum durability in your gear
You don't want to perfect your run anymore
If you're perfecting your run by losing their ability on everything you own to maybe get one module that can upgrade
An item on your character and also lose their ability for it. It's just it's way too punishing
It's way too punishing
The sniper you modded is not modded anymore. What do you mean?
Yeah, they're doing a pvp overall after the pvp overall, but this is this is kind of my feedback on the system right now
I think there is too much friction for the player. I think that the player
the player incentive is not good enough.
And I think it's too punishing.
The first thing I would do is remove the percentage loss, their ability from
running a mod. I'd make it so you can switch them on and off.
It will, anyone's that you want to do, switch them in and out, done.
You know, no problem with that because like this, it's just too much.
It's too many layers of that. I'm already paying for the damn things.
I'm already unload, unlocking them, you know, and I just don't get it, man.
I just don't get it. It, it, it doesn't feel good. If you guys,
Do you guys agree with this? Do you guys think it's weird?
Yeah. Not friction again. I'm going to say friction because it's funny.
I even give the, the item more max durability for being modded. Yeah.
Yeah. Like a buff on it. And I know as you gain levels,
it's supposed to increase the maximum durability of the item and blah,
blah, blah for everything like that.
But that doesn't really matter because that's a passive background buff.
And this is what, what we call either a flash point or an instant and an on
use, the player sees this more readily than they see the background buff.
The background buff is just kind of a passive thing over time.
This is, I get a buff that hurts me.
And it doesn't, it's not about pure logical numbers at that point.
It's about the feeling for the player and the, the feeling for the player is,
I don't like that.
It doesn't feel good to get this, right?
So it just feels negative to use. And I don't, I don't know why they would do that. It just, I don't know. It's just too many layers of kicking in the balls for the player, I think.
Maybe players extract too much resources, so they max the sinks. I mean, at that point, just give them less shit, right?
Something you could do is instead of decreasing max durability is only allow a max number of repairs to the item. I mean, they already effectively do that.
there's no reason to add even more limited debt, right?
Because the item loses max durability
each time you repair it.
I would say the way that I would do this,
just remove the cost of that.
There's no reason for it.
Yeah, opportunity cost is good, but it feels overtuned.
Yeah, see, and I'm gonna tell you right now,
Tarmac leveled up weapon smithing and armor smithing
to maximum in ashes of creation.
If anyone ever, if he says that any system feels negative
at all. You'd know it's in a bad spot because Tarmac is like a machine that takes bad systems
and eats them somehow finding enjoyment out of them. So like, I think that they're going
the wrong direction with that. I hope that they fix it because Dune is a cool game. The
IP is cool, but that system feels rough, dude. Yeah. They could cap master ability loss to
50% and then if they don't want to remove it, no, it's got to keep going. So you actually
email the items out. That's the, you know, the point of a social sandbox, but I think
the idea of lessening durability as you modified is very strange. It's just more, more friction
where it wasn't needed, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
You love high tail durability loss. Yeah, we're not doing high tail durability loss.
We're doing our system from a block game Minecraft into high tail.
Isn't that for PvE?
It applies for PvP too.
If somebody kills you in PvP, you're losing your durability too, man.
So like, same shit.
Yeah.
.
Yeah.
Landford only BPs are also not limited to Landshare anymore, can spam dungeon for Regis
containers and Lize guns and AW.
Yeah, but think about it this way, right?
If I'm pushing, say, plus-fives, right?
And I was only doing fours before that.
There's a reasonable amount of death that's going to happen in here.
And since you don't want to run your perfect gear, because you could lose a bunch of durability,
you're probably going to be running gear that's below that for training, right?
you run kind of a shit gear kit to do that.
And that shit gear kit is only gonna be able to go
to a certain limit.
So like, there's no incentive really to do this
because you're never gonna re-get your entire purple set
inside of that dungeon without hundreds of runs
because it's randomized gear in there.
And so you have to run hundreds of runs of like plus fives
running a shit set that can barely make it by
So you can maybe get the gear that you want to wear,
and then you'll go up to plus sixes, right?
But then why would you run the plus sixes
if you can do plus fives and garbage gear?
You would, this runs into the problem
of giving a player a full restore in a RPG.
You only give them one.
It full restores the entire party,
resurrects everyone, heals everyone.
When do they use it?
They'll just keep saving it for a rainy day.
And they've effectively set up a system that kind of does that.
We're like, you're constantly getting gear for a time.
You're never going to use it because it's never optimal to use it.
So you should just keep collecting gear with shitty gear.
That's, that's the problem that they've run into.
They've developed themselves into a weird direction because the balance of
reward versus risk isn't correct.
That's the issue.
You're going to pass on the scalable dungeons for now.
Maybe if they tune in the future, I think they need to, yeah,
I think they need to tune them.
It needs to be more benefit. You need to be getting more out of it than you're
putting into it. Saving it for the elite four and then you get, you steamroll and
you don't need the resources bingo. And like at this point it's like, well, I'm
farming this purple gear to use in higher tier gear, but then why would I use it
higher tier gear? Because they could just keep farming the purple gear. You know, it
ends up being the plus system only exists for a leaderboard system. It's
bragging rights. It's not about gear progression, which seems opposite of what
it kind of should be. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know,
because it goes all the way up to for those who don't understand,
it goes all the way up to plus 100. So like, it gets up there,
yeah. For someone who never got in a while, would you recommend
retail or classic? It depends. If you want to know the difference
between retail and classic, I would say that retail is a power
fantasy. You are the savior of the world. That's a power fantasy in retail. You are
godlike. You can kill hundreds of enemies at once. Like it's just it's you are the chosen one.
Classic is more like a D&D campaign. You're just some guy.
And like sometimes you can beat another guy. And if you're really strong, you might be able to
would be like two or three. For most of your time playing classic. Eventually you feel pretty
good by the end, but it's still you could just die at any time. Retail power fantasy. 100%. So
it depends on what kind of game experience you're after. And yeah, champion. We need you.
Champion to wounds. Yeah, exactly. Never again. Do you like walking play classic? Yeah, I mean,
That's it. What if you just want to fish?
I guess either then. About the same.
Yeah, nothing wrong with power fantasies, but it comes down to what you want as a player, right?
Do you like doing chores?
Retail.
Actually, wait. It's more than that. If you want to do chores as the savior of the universe,
play retail. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So, Chronos, you said PVP balance is less important than PVE balance to FUNCOM from a
prioritizations perspective it is because PVE is the core of the audience. You said this change
to specializing means that they fix the later part of your message. PPP balance is next. I
don't think they fixed PVE tuning though, man. I really don't. I think that they've done a first pass
and they need to do a second pass. Like they need to. Yeah, like that just needs to do what it is.
What is this? I know that you worked in cybersecurity and you worked for the Department of Defense.
I never worked for the Department of Defense. I worked for the Department of Energy. Three different things.
What is this?
If you're looking at my previous work history, just do a submission point jobs,
go look through my LinkedIn because it seems like you're getting incorrect information somewhere.
I didn't say they fixed the PVP tuning. Yeah, I mean, you said this, that they've done a pass on
it and now their PVP is next. They really, really need to do the rest of it. Are the block game
Game cert expired? God damn it. Give me a moment. I'll go fix that.
Whoop.
Uh, I didn't have my off keys. One moment.
Yeah, no, they, um, they really, really need to work on that, man.
Like they really need to add key.
Because it just doesn't, it just doesn't feel right, man.
I need to find out why that cron job failed.
Run it. Yeah. Challenge verifying.
Cleaning up challenges. Very cool.
SIRT has been deployed. Do not redirect. All right, we're good. Yeah, SIRT's up.
You keep getting rejected for your Ashes return. Put in a ticket directly to Steam Support. Do it
that one. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think of Elder Scrolls online? So I played ESO for
a little while, and it was um, theft simulator. I basically just run around stealing from,
from NPCs and then selling the items back to them over and over again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
you need to do a manual ticket to get your refund for ashes of creation. You need to
go into there and like send in a ticket to Steam. Yeah, if you just do it through their
automated refund system, it will get denied. You have to contact them.
20FBS is better than a slideshow in Monster and Wilds. I went to go play Wilds yesterday
off stream, or maybe two days ago, off stream, and I had no issues. It seems like they fixed
the performance issues that I was dealing with before. So yeah, they turned down your
support ticket, not your refund request. What did you say in your support ticket? Because
we've had a ton of people get their refunds to the support ticket. Yeah, I can't get
it. I can't get a refund. I bought the game on Intrepid's website in 2021. I'm shit out
luck, dude. So that's Dunzo for me, like that's gone. What is this? You don't just agree about
both devs and players should have let the game cook, not rushing and releasing, but they're
making right. Same way as No Man's Sky, Fallout 76, Final Fantasy 14, etc. all have been able
to. Yeah, but I'm gonna give feedback on that. And I think that my feedback right now, man, is
that the PvE is not in a good state. Like, there's not a good incentive structure for a PvE player
to continue doing the dungeons. Oh, and I say to you, yeah, no, but I'm saying to you, like, I don't
think, I don't think that Dune is incentivizing the PvE player base in a way that is compelling to them.
and they will likely lose people that enjoy PvE content because of that and I
think that that's kind of one that's that's really it's weird to fumble right
yeah yeah that's it's a weird weird to fumble thing cuz like I don't know that
team did a really good job with like Secret World right they did with
incentivizing items that way. Honestly, do you want to know the way that I would have done it?
I would have made all of the dungeon purples unique.
Drop nowhere else in the video game. Not recycle the same ones that already exist into that,
make it so that there are sets of armor that can only be obtained in there,
and then make those scale with reward and not had mods reduce overall durability.
That's what I would have done.
And there's some recycled patterns in there, which feels pretty bad, you know, even having
run them a bunch of times.
How long did you play?
Thousands of hours, Spider-Man.
Yeah, I hope that makes sense though, man.
There are high level items in those dungeons though, yeah but we talked about the risk
vs reward for the player, and the risk is so high for your current gear that there's
no reason to do what we call prog runs, right?
And I'll explain that in a minute.
was so good and then you start PVP lucky for you there's not really a PVP end game so
what are the Ashes news they still haven't paid their employees so that's cool
All right, ads are over. So when we're talking about runs in PvE, right, the PvE player wants
to put in time to get gear or reward of some kind, no matter what that is, right. And that's
really what it is. This could be this way in any video game, right, you can add a little
bit of risk to it. There's got to be a little bit of risk in there, no matter what it is.
And I'll give you some examples of this. Let's look at Mythic Plus and World of Warcraft.
So Mythic Plus, this system, the risk or the reward is learning the content. So you get
to learn the content to do higher level content. You get gear that is permanent to your character
And the risk is losing the key because when you activate a mythic plus dungeon, you pop
in a key that you've built up and then you get to run the dungeon and it's timed.
And if you fail it, the key goes down levels.
So that's the risk.
The risk is the key.
The reward is learning and gear, right?
And you do these things called progression runs where you know it is likely you will
lose the key.
can you do this? And it'll go down, right? But you are learning new ways to pull or
waste to actually go through that. You don't lose the key. Now it just goes down and level
now, right? I think originally it just burned the key. I remember, right? It's been a while.
Yeah. So with this in mind, you have Mythic Plus, like, and wow, that's what we're talking
about. We're talking about Mythic Plus. Wow. So when we're talking about that, let's look
at the risk first reward for Dune's PDE content, right? And in Dune, you've got the reward
of blueprints and you've got the risk of your durability and your time.
If you die in the dungeon, you lose durability.
If you fail out of the dungeon, you lose durability and time.
only get rewards if you finish and if you get rewards they're not really rewards
because you still have to build these and then on top so it's delayed reward
we actually have to use that that stuff right and then after that you also have
to attach any of your mods that you get and when you attach a mod it gives you
power but it also gives you minus percent max durability. So if we go to this one this is a
direct reward. This one is kind of an indirect reward but this is a direct reward you just get
the power up right and this one here the blueprints are not a direct reward you have an indirect
reward and you have a direct punishment. And it's a lasting direct punishment. It's an unrecoverable
direct punishment because when you go to repair the item, you are actually getting negative maximum
durability. So I think that even when you get rewarded, it is kind of a punishment because
you still have to build the thing, which takes resources that you farmed outside of the dungeon,
and you have to attach it, which reduces the overall maximum durability.
And that's the problem. And I think, I think it's the issue that I see with this is like it
doesn't feel like a good reward. It feels like, wow, I want to kick of the balls. I did some content
one to kick of the balls, right? So if they removed this, or they just dropped the mods directly
so that you're not building them. And remove that, I think that would make the most sense.
But the idea of having to get the thing, craft the thing using other materials,
then attach it, which reduces the overall durability of the weapon, is just like,
that's a lot of steps to kick a player in the balls. Like it just doesn't, it doesn't feel right.
You know, like you just give them a reward, they kicked ass in a dungeon
that was very difficult where they spent their time,
they probably lost their ability,
and then the reward doesn't feel like a reward.
So it's not, I don't think it's in a good spot, personally.
That might just be me,
but it feels like friction for the sake of friction,
exactly.
It does, and I think that's my feedback for that.
Yeah, Tarmac, I agree with you,
friction for the sake of friction.
Yeah, and I think that that's a major issue overall.
So yeah, yeah, a little bit weird.
Do needs glue.
I would expect better reward for getting your balls kicked.
Exactly.
It's kind of exactly it.
Dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What if we gave a stick, a sick emote as a reward?
I mean, it's not my birthday.
How dare you?
You got them.
That's a lot of aggression towards the player.
It kind of is.
And it like, I don't want that kind of a system.
And we're talking about like let's let's go over block game for durability, right? Let's go block game dungeon
The block game dungeon stuff that we have set up for this is when you go and run the dungeon you get materials
They can only be obtained in the dungeon
But there's two things those materials can do you can use them to create gear of the same tier that you have or
or create cores, cores reduce corruption.
Corruption is our version of reduced max durability.
Instead of reducing maximum durability,
we reduce the overall value of the gear.
So if you have 100 stat on it, maybe it gives 99 now,
98, 97, 98, 96, right, just keeps going down.
If you use a core, it gets rid of that reduction.
So you run dungeons to upkeep your gear
to make sure that they stay pristine.
So there's a reason to run the dungeon,
because you're making your gear effective again.
And you can craft other gear outside of this.
And it's effectively sustainable, right?
Yeah.
What are you talking about, Mirror?
What is this?
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
What are you guys talking about with some head, Rhett?
The long text, dude?
I don't know, dude.
I've been talking about a thing.
Yeah, so like with that, like gear and cores
are what materials go into for this.
So you go into the dungeon, you spend your time
and your reward and your risk.
Your risk is durability.
And your reward is effectively your reward.
your max power on your gear is improved. It's gone back to 100%. And then the other one with this
is with durability loss, there's a little bit of a failout here because what I've done throughout a
dungeon is we have chests along the way. And these chests respawn every 24 hours. And their
instance per player. So even if you don't get all the way through the dungeon, you can at least get
some rewards, right? Let's say that you fail out here and you're like, I don't want to go any
further. For that day, you still get two chests worth of rewards. You don't have to make it all the
way to the end. And like, you still get whatever materials you can get out of that. And like,
there's still stuff. There's also mini bosses and mini bosses also give you rewards. This,
I think, is a better system in terms of like giving a player rewards for their time. It's
It's the same risk, but a lot better reward for the player.
And that's what I think Dune is missing right now in terms of PvE.
It's missing a reward structure that rewards the player for time, and it's missing a reward
structure that actually rewards the player directly.
This rewards the player directly, and this rewards the player passively, kind of indirectly
with the core system and both of those lead to increased power.
And the risk is the same.
It's durability loss and time loss.
So I don't know, man.
I think it's, I think their broad structure is just off.
I think it's just off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's having a conversation with himself a little bit.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm just kind of like thinking through because like when you're
building something, then you need to look at other ways that other
developers build the same thing. We're both building dungeons, but their dungeon feels
bad to me. And the dungeon I built feels good to me. And I need to understand where the
disparity is there. So as a player, why does it feel so different? And so I'm kind of exploring
through that being like, why does their reward structure make me feel bad? Why does my reward
structure make me feel good? What other games have I played where the reward structure felt
good. What other games have I played with a reward structure feels bad. And you start the form like kind of an idea of what sort of reward structures resonate with you as a player. You know, and you you have to do that if you don't sit down and do that.
That's it, you know, and that like you, you're not going to grow at all. Yeah.
You're just not, you know, we put chest in a 24 hour cooldown though, why put chest in 24 hour
cooldown? So I tried doing that as an extra reward incentive to like get people in there to get them
to do a thing. I don't know how I want to do that this time. I may just make it so you can just run
them endlessly, you know. Yeah, I may make it so that we can't. I think, I think that's like a super
important thing to do is to give people something that they can shoot for.
And I think last time I made this chest to rewarding.
So I put them on an artificial 24 hour cooldown, which was kind of weird and
didn't work very well.
So I think this time what I'm going to do is I'm just going to make it so that
they respond every time you go in that dungeon.
And I think it's all I need to do.
And if I instance the dungeons themselves, then that will work.
And I will need to space those deeper in the dungeon and make it based around
challenges, right?
So like, if I base it around challenges of like you beat the mini boss, get a, get a
chest, you beat the big room, get a chest, right?
Like that feels better to me.
The way that I did it in block game and Minecraft is there's like one in the starter room that's
like hidden in a wall, right?
There's very little challenge.
You kill two guys and you get a chest.
So what people would do is they just go in and grab that chest and restart the dungeon
and grab that chest and restart the dungeon, grab that chest.
This was a problem.
So I think this was an issue of design on my behalf.
I got the design wrong.
So in the future, my design is going to be big, big thing, whatever big thing is.
You fight the big thing, you get a chest and you could do this endlessly.
Because if you could do it endlessly, there's got to be a challenge to it.
And I think that'll work.
So that's what I'm going to do is I'm going to set that up for the high tail version of
this to like, big, big difficulty, get a chest. You could just do this unlimited times a day.
At least like you're doing something and it gives you a thing. I'm also going to change
out kind of the reward structure for that entirely and make it based around the dungeon that
you're running. So like, if you're, if you're running, say, Kroggner's Bastion, which is
our level 25 dungeon, or sunken cells, sunken cells, right? There we go. And that's the
level 10 dungeon. This reward structure can't be anywhere similar. Like if you're 25, you
want to be running this place. I don't want to incentivize you to run this place. There's
got to be some other economic driver for that. So that players are running one, not running,
not running this one once a day and then running this one endlessly. That was weird, you know,
when increasing difficulty work for this. Um, kind of the way that I kind of want to
do this is when we're running, say KB for Crogner's Bastion, I want it to start at 25 and end at level 30. I want it to be the next five
levels up. So as you go deeper into the dungeon, this gets more and more difficult so that players can fail out at, say, 28, or maybe
fail out at 26. And they still get a percentage of max reward in some way, because it's based on challenges that have increasing
levels. So that way, players are like, okay, we're going to do a Crogner's bashing run,
but we're not doing Crogner, we're going to Cinder, because that's the first boss, right? We're
doing a Cinder run, we're doing a Crogner full clear. Like there are meat, there's meaning to
that, where like in World of Warcraft, you do the whole dungeon or none of it, right? In this, I
want it to be, you do a dungeon up to a certain boss, because you know your party can do it. Yeah.
If you're doing a full clear, that's like what you talk about when you talk about rating, I want the
dungeon experience to be that way. Does that make sense? Yeah. So I hope I hope that makes
sense. What is this?
Oh, no, this dude's, this dude's just trying to get you guys to prep. Shit. I'm going to
be honest with you. Black swan guy. I'm going to look up your name real fast. And if it
comes up with a company, because you're in my chat trying to get people to prep, I'm
going to ban you. Yeah, you're an ad. You're an ad for your personal company. Goodbye.
So with that in mind, yeah, we'll get back to this. Yeah, I think I think the idea of
having people fail out for a percentage of reward by max level is a good idea. And I
think that feels good to the player. And as long as I kind of bookend that on specific
things. Like we book in it. By the way, don't buy their products. If they're going to do that
shit in somebody's Twitch stream, they're not worth your time. But yeah, if I think the best
thing you can do is like, I'll set it up. Maybe each boss is that milestone. And if we set it up
to those milestones, I think that's a good idea. And I think that's what I want to do is we'll set
up those milestones of like, maybe this boss is 26, this boss is level 28. And we kind of go from
there so like your team can be like hey it's exit time and maybe we put a portal after you kill
the boss that's your failout portal so on each one of these you can go deeper or you could leave
look at final fantasy 14 then just oh i'm very very well aware final fantasy 14 then
i played the shit in a final fantasy 14 love it but i like the idea of doing something different
than that like i want the players to feel like they're making the decision right
Like let's say you get to the level 26 boss in a 25 to 30 dungeon and then you beat the boss
But you guys barely defeat it the party that goes hey, man
I don't I don't know about going further than that. I don't think we're ready and then someone is like I
Think we could do it and everyone's like, oh, okay. I guess we'll go do it and then they die in the next boss
Right like I want you to make that choice
As you're going through the dungeon
You need to make a choice there and I think that giving the players the chance to make the choice while already giving them a reward
That's now on the line is exciting. Does that make sense?
Like I think that if you guys
Make that choice. That's like a fun way to feel
So you can decide at that moment not not like locked you in
You love trying to do the impossible in games. Well, you can't drop a lot of loot on the ground, right?
It's not going to be, that's going to be great for that. Yeah.
You get the reward after leaving. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You get the reward in that room and then there's a portal in the room and it goes,
Hey, you want to leave the dungeon with your stuff or do you want to risk it?
Right? You know, like that's the idea for that. Yeah.
Make the dungeon like an extraction. Exactly. It's an extraction dungeon.
You choose after each one of the big, big, bad encounters.
Do you want to do you want to increase your risk, but maybe increase your reward or do you want to leave now?
And I think that's fun for me. I think that's fun
What is this?
Yeah
Evan watching a while. What is block game block gamers or MMO that we made in Minecraft in the last like five years any chance of some pewee today?
Yes, like I would say nearly a hundred percent. I want to go play my Druid some more
It adds for the social experience. I think it does too. So we're talking about like design for dungeon
I think that's really where I want it to be is I want it to feel that way
And it kind of already does in in block game right now, but not in the way that I want it to and
Since we're refreshing with high tail, I think we have you know, we have a chance to do something really cool
Yeah. Your dog is farting so bad you can taste it. Yeah, make sure that's in that person's
like incenders mod comment. I want that to be there forever. Yeah, I'm gonna add it myself.
Their dog or it's so badly.
They can taste it. Add it as a mod comment to your account. So now every time the mods ever
look your name up. They're gonna see that. That's gonna be on your account forever now.
Enjoy that. Yeah, that's permanent. Yeah, that's permanent now. Yeah.
You said it.
It'll also be visible on Chronos' channel and the Ferrets channel as well. So there's that.
That's how you make history in lore?
Yeah, that's lore now.
That's part of your story.
It's permanent.
I didn't know you could put mod comments, yeah.
Zoltra lords has a bunch.
You got the shirt?
Nice, dude.
I don't know what minor rise it's supposed to.
Got it yet.
You look.
Oh, I have really cool news.
Actually, the, um, let me see.
We got the septic consultant came out.
The septic consultant came out and he was like,
I'm going to put a septic tank over there and I'm going to do all these different things.
And he put flags all over the yard and he was like, I got it because we already have
a septic tank in the yard to be clear, like there's already a septic tank because I'm
not on, we don't have sewage.
We're on the middle of nowhere, right?
And he wants to set one up over here that like feeds into this one.
And we have a pressure septic system.
He's literally the PPPU man.
Yes, that is, that is actually his job.
So that one will feed into this one and then this one drains out into the field.
makes the grass real tall. Yeah. So with that, this, this will be the main access point.
And they could just drain that which is cool, which is cool.
team is back in today. It's your color. Yeah, it's a different team today.
This one is going to be what is this one? It's not the septic guys this time.
I don't even know what these guys are.
Uh, what are they?
Bro, I don't even know.
Uh, survey.
This is the, the survey team.
Wait, no.
This is a different team.
I don't even know what this team does.
What do they do?
Environmental industry.
Basically an environmental survey.
They're going to come in and be like, you live on a hill.
there's no wetlands here. They're doing a ground survey for the septic
installation. They have to do a couple of different surveys for that. So like,
basically, they have to determine a couple things. One of them has to be
that we're not on wetlands because we're not in wetlands. And then the other
one is that the ground can be dug in. And then also we can put in a septic
machine, the septic thing environmental impact study. We already technically
had that. So that's fine. That's already basically these guys are the dirt guys.
They're like, yep, that's dirt. Nothing lives in it. And we can dig in that.
We'll go put a big mechanical machine down there and moves poop real fast.
That's effectively what's going to happen there. Yeah.
Is the hill going to collapse? Definitely not. No, it would collapse back in on
itself. It's like really low slope, right? Yeah. The dirt man.
We had the PPPooPoo man and now we're having the Dirt Man.
Is that a, is that a, what is that?
Eat sand? Fantastic.
Yeah, basically, basically that.
We got, we got John Dirtman and John PPPooPoo.
Both of them are doing the thing.
And there's supposed to be a third team that was supposed to already be here,
but I guess maybe they already did.
I don't know.
I have no idea, dude.
People just show up and they do stuff in the yard and I go,
Yeah, that's that sounds like a thing that was supposed to happen.
I paid for that. So like, yeah, cool.
You don't pressurize your poop. You peasant.
Are you carbonating poops over there?
It's gross. You're gross.
Spaghetti will let us know spaghetti barks the whole time.
He's the ultimate guard dog.
Actually, no, he's the ultimate alarm dog because he is
bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
And then when someone walks up he's like
Hello I am your friend
and then he'll lick them
and he's just
cool
about it
like he's just
he's like intruder
intruder is good
bark
it's not the best
yeah
that's about it
he's a golden retriever yeah
he lets you know someone's there
He also lets you know that someone's there, whether they're there or not, because sometimes
he sees ghosts and then barks at them.
And then you go in there and he's like, hi.
Doug Paco at Chihuahua, doesn't even bark.
He just goes in says hi.
At Chihuahua that doesn't bark.
That's weird.
that's really weird
that's really weird
yeah
this is our block game production I need to go into the other block games
block game high tail
and I need to do one of these
we'll pull this up I think we're in a good spot
All right, so status effects. We got this done the other day. I'm pretty happy with where it's at now
Yeah, yeah
I tell
See design dog
Why God the design document is grown so hard we now have status effects and enormous
Status effects feel real good now
It feels really good.
I really like the way that this is done now.
Yeah.
If it wasn't a guard, you obviously would be attacked by squirrels.
I'd be attacked by one squirrel.
There is the fattest, most pregnant squirrel I've ever seen in my life in my yard.
And she comes out every day, she stands in the middle of the field and she eats mushrooms.
She just grabs a whole mushroom and just sits there and eats it in defiance of all predators,
in the middle of the open clearing and is like, I am enormous. What will you do about it? It's a
big old fat pregnant squirrel dude. Yeah. She's ready. She's ready for spring. She's going to
fill the yard with squirrellings. Like holy shit. Yeah. Squirrels in the US are tanks. Yeah, they're
big dude. But this one lives almost exclusively off of mushrooms. And she just picks her didn't
happen off that shade. I think she took a bunch of photos of her. She's, she's a tank dude.
Uh, do you have a photo of the tank squirrel?
Oh, actually, I need to make sure that Shay actually got up out of bed.
Oh, wait, no, Shay's awake.
The squirrel.
In the yard.
The gigapregnant one
Yeah, she's got it one sec
You've been in a new sentence pretty sure it's the first time it's been asked. I don't think so. Are you awake now?
She says I don't know if she's pregnant. She might just be fat you can't say that you can't say that that's rude
That's rude
There's Gager pregnant, there is.
She's huge dude.
Sub fat squirrel.
Big bones, no, chunk.
in the squirrel photo.
How is babby formed?
Well, apparently with squirrels, it like, expands their body by three, three X.
The big goal I have to do during the next hype train, but the problem is Twitch denied
my payment processing the last two times I tried it so I don't really know what's going on.
I don't know what to do about this. Yeah.
Yeah.
Ah, let me show you, this squirrel eating a mushroom.
I have delivered the tank squirrel.
It sits in my yard and it eats mushrooms.
It is the fattest tankiest mushroom eating squirrel.
I'm telling you, dude, that's a gigapregnant mushroom eating squirrel.
Can they eat mushrooms?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, another super downy mushrooms.
She's been doing it all year, no problems, but yeah, they do that.
Yeah, she's fat, dude.
She's big, big.
It's a greed. The greed will consume them. She's eating for like 12 is what's happening
there dude. Yeah, she's eating for 12. There's no way that she's just fat for no reason.
Her greed sickens me. I know. I know. That's not a tank that's a tonk. Pretty much true.
Yeah, she's definitely preg.
With like
sex tuplets or some shit, dude.
You know, she's eating for 12 full grown men.
Yeah, she actually just sits in the yard and just spins a mushroom
and just eats the whole mushroom.
Like that's what she does, dude.
She'll just spin it while eating it till it's gone.
You know, slownesh levels of greed.
Yes.
Her spawns, her spawns she'll take over the yard good.
Yeah, good.
She just goes out in the middle of the yard too like she'll just go out in the yard and
she hunts the mushrooms and sometimes she'll smack the ground too.
She'll go like, and then like look around and then slap the ground a bunch.
This ground slapper.
She's chunky dude.
You can see in this photo that Shea was actually spotted and you know what she did?
She sat there and kept eating.
Didn't even give a shit.
She knows that she's unstoppable.
She has no fear.
She stands in the middle of the open field and eats her hubris enormous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. She's a tank, dude.
Yeah, approach me. I will devour you as well. That's literally the way that she acts.
She's real chunky. She is.
Yeah.
Me when I find loot in a video game? Don't eat the loot, man. Does she have a name?
We've mostly just been calling her fat-ass tank
and like all kinds of just
Chonk that chonk squirrel is back the pregnant one like just I guess we could call her like crushinator
Destroyer of mushrooms or some shit like we could come up with like we call him sure caller Sherman. Yeah, that's cool
Yeah, what I don't know dude. Maybe she needs a name monster truck
That ass. Yeah, whatever, right?
We're getting it like that
crush your pillow
yeah
it's just, she's just huge dude, she's like huge
big mama
step forward, morsel, oh god
imagine she's not actually pregnant, if that squirrel's not pregnant
then I'm afraid, cause that's terrifying, yeah
There was a second squirrel at one point, but you only saw them once. Yeah, you only saw them once because she ate them, dude.
Gone.
Yeah, she's the normist.
Massive creature.
Reduce the atoms. Reduce the asphat, dude.
Huge. Huge squirrel.
Big fungus? Okay. Big fungus is pretty good. I'm going to start calling her Big Fungus.
Her name is Big Fungus.
Dude, Big Fungus. There she is, Big Fungus. She's been out there like six months, man.
Yeah, she's been out there like six months eating mushrooms. That's basically what she
does. Why does the industry reject the dough? They don't. What are you talking about? It's
being used for all kinds of shit. I think it was used for a Sonic game recently, like
a year ago. It was used for Sonic the hedgehog like mainline game. Any game called pie in
the sky. That's cool.
Australian magpie on a mission. Okay, Sierra, a gig of bastard. Good. She's a 10-10 with
trample accurate. What type of mushrooms? I don't know, LBMs. I don't know what those
ones are. Shea would know better. She's gonna abandon her baby steamer mushrooms. What does
she eat shade what's her combined mana cost though you have to pay an upkeep cost every
turn or she steals some of your health or you have to she has to devour another creature
every turn or she devours one of yours and if there's no creatures to devour she takes
your health instead terrifying and she makes one one squirrel tokens if she's on the board
for longer than 3 turns.
And she cannot eat her own squirrel tokens.
Yeah, it has to be a fungus token.
There you go.
Consumes one fungus token or you lose one health.
This card is getting wordy.
Yeah.
That's an uncracked gardener.
But you phallid deck?
Don't fight this girl, dude.
She's gonna be a commander, yet, you know?
True.
and
some of the moderate and I tell I just had that
added a block and we totally could
add
Is the ferret stream down?
It just restarted.
Yeah.
So every 48 hours due to Twitch and whatever system they have set up.
There we go.
What happens over on the ferret stream is it restarts every 48 hours so it just restarted.
You can see it's got 53 seconds on it right there.
So, refresh the page if you're on the ferret stream.
Yeah.
Can you hit Easter eggs in block game?
Yeah, I already am.
There already are ones in Minecraft block game, so.
What for? For the VODs?
No, it's just Twitch.
They won't let you stream for more than 48 hours straight.
I don't know why.
If you stream for 11 hours and 55 minutes on YouTube, any amount of time over that doesn't
appear in the VOD.
If you stream for longer than 14 to 16 hours somewhere in there, it actually makes the
VOD inaccessible to anyone, forever on YouTube.
It still shows up.
Click on it. It says it can't find it because it never actually processes it and then shits itself violently
YouTube, I don't know why it's like that
No idea
Oh, wow, no this that dude that was trying to advertise his business just went over to YouTube as well
Yeah, I know your band over there, too
Stop advertising your business, you clown-ass.
Because now I'm going to tell everyone not to buy from you.
Look at you. Look at you. Band.
Stop it. You're bad and you should feel bad.
Your name, stricken from the record.
Insane.
Didn't someone die on a 3D stream or something? And that's why?
Mmmmm, I mean this has been a thing on Twitch. I think it's a technical limitation where anything else has been for ages.
Could you possibly set up a system where you upload the Twitch Vata automatically to YouTube instead to circumvent that 11 hour and 50
something limit? Yeah, but then we have to download a full 48 hour long video and
then upload it to YouTube and
wait for it to process.
You may not realize how long that takes, but even on 3Gb internet it's kind of a bitch.
It's a lot, and if anything breaks that connection any time, during that full upload period,
it shits itself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not good.
I don't, I don't think it's the health checks though.
What would be the size of a 48 hour video?
Well, I mean, I'm uploading a 2K 60 FPS.
So you're dealing with many, many, many, many gigs.
Many, many, many, many, many, many, very large.
Cause it's not 1080p, it's 2K video.
So it's enormous, like actually enormous.
Doesn't Twitch have a YouTube export function?
Yeah, but it doesn't work very well.
And it permanently flags the videos being a YouTube export.
If you actually take a short off of Twitch,
like a clip and you export it to YouTube,
as a short directly, it will get lower viewership by a lot
by like a massive factor we've done in the past.
So that's weird.
And then you take the same kind of short
and you download it and then upload it yourself on YouTube
and you don't get that problem.
So yeah, about three and a half terabytes.
I don't know.
I just know that it's a lot
and I don't want to do that workflow anyway
because not only is it a lot,
it's a lot of like time that you have to spend doing that.
And I stream every day.
So like the Denmark had hit by a snow storm.
So there's seven years we've got over 30 centimeters now
and it's still heavily snowing.
Well, that's cool.
Nice.
Enjoy your snow.
You bastard.
Wish I had some.
Yeah, the normal streambots like they still want to do that, man. I just don't want to do that's so much effort. Yeah.
And if you're wondering if you're wondering over on YouTube side, why that guy got banned, he was over on Twitch, kind of covertly advertising his prepper business.
Because his account name was like a business that exists and he was trying to encourage people to like prep for you know
the oncoming wars and
Was like spamming the shit out of in chat
He was doing it as a way to advertise his business and I banned him on Twitch and then he went over to YouTube
With the same thing and then tried to do it again. So I banned him on YouTube. Yeah, it's just it's a business trying to advertise for free
Gross yeah
Yeah, real stupid
It wasn't really being covert, yeah.
Want to be guerrilla marketing, yes.
Gero says that durability grades over time through general use and is damaged significantly
on death.
This durability must be repaired with a repair counter, which then increases corruption on
that item.
Corruption reduces overall stats on the item by a percent, scaling up to 100%.
Corruption can be cleansed from the item by using cores or crafted from materials at
the tier of the item being cleansed.
Oh, the pants in it's real large.
Oh, Mr. Simon Hypixel.
Oh my face when trying to postpatch notes at discord. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That does happen.
It turns it into a file instead. Did you reinstall Guild Wars 2 already? The Guild is forming? No,
I went and reinstalled SWOTOR and I tried to play through that a little bit and I realized
I can't.
So that's what I've investigated so far.
I've been working on shit this last week, but I'll show you what my old character looks
like when I grab it.
Boop, there he is.
So that was my SIF juggernaut.
And like I signed it, I got my account back, signed into it and then it was like, hey,
if you want to play this character, you have to pay money.
And I was like,
nah.
Cause like, I don't know if I'm going to like it again.
Right? So like, I don't, I don't want to pay for that.
Right? So there's a subscription fee to pay my play my character.
And I just don't want to do that. I just don't.
So yeah.
Yeah.
Why do they do that? I don't know, man.
Yeah.
The wild monetization now. Yeah. I just don't want to play it.
I mean, if you guys want to play it, so with her, that's cool.
We've got a section in the actual Pirates Discord now,
and there's some really cool like characters.
Some people have actually posted some of the pictures of their characters.
Like, look at that one. That's neat. You know, like that's pretty sick looking.
Kind of freaks me out. Cool looking. And then like this one,
definitely less SIF, a little bit more, probably on the Jedi side,
you know, being, being a little bit of the good guys,
Definitely more Sith on this one. Good. Yeah.
This one too, free to play? Obviously not, because it wouldn't allow me to play my character unless I had...
Paid. So that kind of sucked. But there's been people posting their characters and showing off cool shit, you know?
Yeah.
I'm really glad that your guys' guild that you had on there is called Pink Intoxicated Elephants. That's fantastic.
Yeah, but people who want to play it, they have a section in there for that now and if we go up to this right, you can see that I've rebuilt a lot of the discord we now have channels for Guild Wars, Star Wars, Swithor, Elder Scrolls, and Final Fantasy 14.
And if you go up in here into channels and roles, I'm just going to keep adding new channels and roles to this. So you guys will actually have, you know, stuff that you can do up there, you know, whatever it's going to be.
So if there's the worst free to play you've ever seen, yeah, it probably isn't very good. Yeah. But yeah, so I've got these set up. I'm going to keep adding more of these. I put into the announcements saying like what I'm going to be doing for this in this here.
These are all the games that I want to put up there. I think Warframe is going to be the next big one because I said I'm going to be prioritizing, which one say I say prioritizing. These are the ones that are prioritizing first. They're done now.
they're done now. You'll only see the channels that you actually want to have on that. So
I'm probably going to do Warframe and Fallout 76 next is likely the way to do this. So yeah,
rather play Guild Wars 2 or Final Fantasy 14. Yeah, Guild Wars 2 is already up there.
You can already play with the Guild Wars Guild and then Final Fantasy 14 is up there as well.
I want to reactivate Final Fantasy 14 personally. Guild Wars 2 is a ferret mount skin. What dude?
No, no, why does everybody post discord link channels?
Don't God, it's gross.
Stop it.
Okay, that's cool.
I'm really glad that I clicked on this
and then also saw the Chungus above it.
Fantastic.
That's cool.
I like that.
That's fantastic.
Its claws are super long.
You know what's the worst about running a ferret rescue?
The first thing that I saw when seeing this,
like the first thing I thought was,
man, so many of you used to clip those nails.
It wasn't even like, wow, cool ferret.
God, there's nails, they gotta clip those.
That's too long.
It's too long.
It's too long.
It's too long.
It's too long.
It's too long.
You gotta clip them all the time.
Ugh.
Ridiculous.
what submit a bug report clip her at mountain ales please all right all 50 at the same time
not mean they rotate through them but basically what she does is she has different things
that she can do for different ferrets some of them like salmonella a lot of them like
salmonella and you just take them you put them on their back salmonella on their chest
and they sit there and they lick it.
Their brain deactivates and then you clip their nails
while they're sitting there licking the salmon oil.
Some ferrets, rarely, some of them don't like salmon oil.
So they have to do other stuff for them.
So there's that.
It's rare, but it happens.
What is this?
Curious to hear your thoughts on the Star Trek Online
in a little while.
So that one's really old.
I did play it briefly.
And like, I think the people who like it
are the ones who've been there basically since the beginning because I went to go play it
and it felt really clunky, you know, it felt clunky and it felt like it had turned into
like old man's car show simulator where they're like, look at this, look at my big spaceship
and my big spaceship and my big spaceship. I have accrued all these spaceships and like
they just kind of take them out and show them off and like, it's kind of whatever. Yeah.
feels like it's solved. Does that make sense? It's cool, but it feels like it's solved.
It's been around a long time and it's solved now. And it's mostly a bunch of people just
kind of reminiscing about the good old days on the game. And it's kind of clunky. The
engine's super old. I hope that they, like to be honest with you, it'd be cool if they
made another Star Trek MMO. It would be really cool. Remember the Mad God is different and
And the reason why is because it's a roguelike, so you could just do that forever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe not too objective, but DDO holds well, holds pretty well.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
I think it's just, it's kind of a solved thing is all it is.
And that's, there's nothing wrong with that, but kind of not for me, you know,
I want a social sandbox.
I want something that, that constantly reduces the player's stuff and then rebuilds
it going on missions, the crew from the guild would be so safe.
Yeah. Yeah, I kind of like that idea too. It's got a new CEO. He was an older one who left to get
more experience, I think. Really? Or, um, Star Trek MMO? Hmm.
It's crazy to me, the MMO community is so desperate for something new. It's all we talk about. I mean,
kind of, like, and I think the reason why is it's come to the point where, for me, I know what kind
kind of game I like now. I'm old enough to know what I want. Right? And what,
what I want is I want to play a social sandbox MMO with a fully player driven
economy. And that's a tall order, man.
And because of that, I'm likely going to be upset, right?
Like I'm likely just going to be like, well, there's not really a game for me,
you know, like a no pay to win. Yeah,
it's got to be a social sandbox MMO with a player driven economy and no
pay to win. I'm basically asking for a unicorn, dude. Like that's, I know that you know that
and I'm probably never going to get what I want. It's just not going to happen. You
know, like, so like, I don't know, that's why I was so excited for ashes. I was like,
you're giving me a unicorn. And then he was like, no, I'm actually scamming you out of
money and ripping off all my employees and disappearing. It's like, wow, that's, that's
Thanks, man. You're the best
Yeah, awesome
Just wanted that goddamn you know unicorn man
Even asked me to make steam is the greatest platform. There is you just get your refund from ABC
Good, are you gonna play web midnight? No, I'm not really interested and like I
Know I know this is kind of a lame hill to die on I've talked about it before
They added a monetization. They added a premium currency to housing
And I know you can earn a bunch of shit for housing by doing other stuff in the game
but like
It's come to the point for me where I'm just like dude you guys are making you making me pay for a subscription and
Then you also can buy a wow token and turn it into in-game gold and
Then also you have a trans transaction shop like a micro transaction shop to buy cosmetics
And you now have a premium currency for housing
And I just, I just don't, I just don't want this dude.
The premium currency is still not in yet.
They called it Hearthsteel, did they walk it back?
Are they just not doing that now?
What do you mean yet?
Did they walk this back?
No, they have a whole thing on this. No, they have a whole page in this developer inside
hard steel virtual currency and housing in midnight. They have a whole thing on this.
Why a virtual currency? Like no, dude, no, no, I don't, I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't
want to deal with it. I don't want it. I don't want it. It doesn't matter if it's in yet or not,
dude, like they're, that's their plan. Their plan is to do this. And I just, I don't,
No, you don't have to buy WoW tokens or gold tokens
or get a house.
Yeah, but I also don't have to pay the money
if that's their business practice as a consumer.
Like my power as a consumer is to vote with my wallet.
And I don't like those business practices,
so I'm gonna vote against it by not buying it.
Right?
I'd rather put my money into a game
that isn't using those business practices
because I find them unsavory.
And that's my choice as a consumer, right?
You could do whatever you want.
I want you to buy the game and play the game that you want to play.
I don't think you're a shitty person for that at all, but I'm going to vote.
And that's what I'm voting against, because I just, I can't deal with it anymore.
I hate it in the gaming industry.
I want to buy a video game not a storefront.
That's it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, you vote with your wallet exactly, go out and drag and play fair.
Yeah, I mean, like that's that's it dude.
And like to be real, what I see a lot of this kind of happens a lot of the time is you'll
have a company that has a certain amount of player base that player base dips a little
bit so that they monetize harder because they need to make up this loss this distance here.
and then they lose more player base.
So they have to monetize even harder
because they have to make up this loss.
And I just see this like go in that direction.
And the only way that they get more player base
is they get younger audience.
They have to get the next generation.
If it sits around,
they have to get the next generation of players
because that older audience that really is like the diehards,
they start disappearing.
That audience falls off
and they have like a new younger audience
that brings new life into it.
and like games will stand the test of time
if they can keep garnering that younger audience.
They have to keep getting them or they just die out, you know?
And like, that's it, man.
So this has never been explained better.
Yeah, I mean, like, I don't know.
I've just seen it too much, man.
And like, I just don't want that literally at all.
Yes, squeezing the long lemon, exactly.
The only thing you can think of right now is Albion,
but it's on mobile devices as well.
So, well, I mean, Albion has paid a win directly.
So like, eh, I understand your point with WoW.
Too bad I really enjoyed your streams
that were within release.
Yeah, I mean, like I get it, but I don't know, man.
Like, I think you should enjoy the games
that you wanna enjoy.
And I think that if you disagree
with the business model of a company or of a game,
you probably shouldn't support it,
but that's up to you.
That there's a line for every single person
and that line is yours to own.
It is subjective. There's no objective right or wrong there.
I think anyone who touts that is trying to get you to choose a side on something.
That doesn't make sense. But I've,
I've chosen for my subjective line, right?
To be like this, no further than this. Yeah.
And you can move that line, whatever you think is fun, right?
Whatever you think is fine is you're, you're the consumer, man.
That's how it works. Ready? That's an arc Raiders. Arc Raiders.
We haven't played that in a minute, dude.
I think I'll see you last time I played that shit.
Arc.
Arc Raiders.
When did I play that last?
December 21st.
I haven't been in that game in two months.
Jesus.
I have 101 hours in it.
I really liked it.
It was a lot of fun.
It was a lot of fun.
I don't know what it's like now.
Shit's probably changed a lot.
Oh, it's preparing for your second expedition.
I did the first one.
Yeah.
Some good updates.
I'll have to check it out.
Do you like RTS games?
A long time ago, I realized that I have more fun watching RTS games than I do playing them,
which I think a lot of people can understand that feeling.
I really like watching like the giga micro super powerful,
like 10,000 actions per minute guy, you know, play the game.
But that ain't me, dude, you know,
I have a blast bought it two weeks ago arc arc that is yeah, I really like it
Yeah, high-level Warcraft 3 is still so dope. It is watching people do that is crazy, dude
Have you seen the new war bond to hell divers? Yeah with the exploding hammer. I think that's cool. I dig that. Yeah
It's called knowing your place I'm in a gas
That's not adding roblox to the tab at the top of twitch website dude
I'm gonna be honest with you man with like the amount of shit the twitch gets all the time
and like people calling out twitch and like calling out dan clancy i don't think a collab
with roblox is probably the best choice but i'm just doing it you know it's not like what i would
have done but whatever man like it's kind of it's kind of weird yeah yeah a little a little bit weird
Warcraft 3 is going surprisingly strong.
The channel back to Warcraft is casting daily.
That's cool.
Do I dig that?
Yeah.
Ever consider switching to Linux?
I would, but I'm a streamer and a lot of my tooling doesn't work on Linux, so maybe
one day, man.
How have you enjoyed building and customizing in Hytale?
It's been a blast to be honest with you.
I've been having a huge, huge good time doing this.
We actually redesigned how I'm going to do all of meat the other day.
So I have this all over here.
So I want to do that.
The meat types are going to do this.
We're going to add corruption and stuff to that.
Which should be a lot of fun.
Yeah, it should be a lot of fun with that.
Miss DuneStream is the new update good.
Um, they've got a good idea, but it doesn't feel like it benefits the player as much as
it should yet.
We'll probably spend more time on it soon, but I really think that they need to rebalance
the risk versus reward for the new content.
OBS works on Linux. I have a lot of other tooling. I run Streamer Bot. I have, you know, like,
text-to-speech shit. I have Stream Deck. Like, I've got a lot of little component things that,
like, just don't function as I'd want them to on Linux. Yeah, need some balance and patch time.
It'll be good a week or two. Yeah, no, I agree with that. I super agree with that. I think that right
now definitively how I feel about doing is cool idea let it cook right cool idea let
it cook and that's about it you know like they just need to cook it some more because
it it it's got some weird bugs it's got some risk first reward fail going on and I'm just
kind of waiting you know yeah also that lightning dungeon is kicking the balls you play BG3
dead yeah using a bluer green screen I've got a green screen actually I just
keep it back here because special effects are expensive so I don't really
want to use them all the time you know a lot of people don't realize how
expensive you know I know the budget I know I'm sorry sorry damn it every time
I show that chat nose think of all of the dollars that I just wasted showing you
that budget's gone gone evaporated.
It's over.
Yeah.
What's your take on ashes of creation?
Um, I was the largest content creator for that video game.
I had it since 2021.
Uh, Stephen lied to all of us and had investors in a game where he said there
were no investors and now none of the employees are getting paid.
We're actually talking to some of the devs that have been friends with us the
whole time. And it's a, it's a shit show, man. He ripped everyone off and that's deeply
distressing. It really is because for a little while there in early 2025, it looked like
they were doing it right. They were doing a good job, right? The game was moving forward.
They were getting good updates out. The design philosophy made sense. The devs were happy.
And then around April 2025, stuff started to pull back, updates started to make less
sense, it started to get really weird.
And then it started to go downhill from there.
They did their launch on Steam, which was out of the blue and very strange.
I went and jumped into it and it looked like they added a lot of quests for the level one
to eight bracket.
But everything else outside of that was broken and shit still, even a year later, which was
really weird.
Because if you have 250 employees and a lot of those are developers, the throughput that
they had didn't make a lot of sense.
It was very strange.
So like, I don't understand what was going on there, but it looks like somewhere along
there he took investors, those investors formed a board and then took the game away from him.
And the investors that he took were ones that were from the MLM and pyramid scheme world.
And now all these things have come to light where he like transferred the ownership of
his house to his partner before this all happened and then left the company in protest.
And now the devs who actually worked there, the people who have jobs aren't getting paid,
even though there's a warrant act out.
So they didn't get paid during their normal pay cycle, which is insane.
And then even talking to one of those devs, they said that they've received three emails
from the board, and that board has sent them AI-generated emails that don't make any sense,
and now the company has pulled the termination letter from their HR app, so they can't even
imply for unemployment correctly. And it's based in California, and California has really strict
laws against companies for abusing their employees, and that's exactly what's happening here. So,
So like the government is going to get involved.
The state government and the federal government
are going to get involved.
It's going to turn into a shit show.
It's going to be months of this shit.
It's bad, dude, where there are no layoffs, there was.
They initiated the WARN Act.
They're laying off all employees.
So like it's not good, dude.
Like all of this is bad.
This is all very bad.
Yeah.
What, did you see my DM on Discord?
No, what what are you sending me? What?
No, I don't see any DM from you on discord. Just ping me again. What's up?
Yeah, no idea what you're talking about
Yeah, I don't have a single DM from you
You still want to know what steams gonna do well steam delisted the game you can't buy it anymore and steam started issuing issuing refunds
Yeah, I already know about that. We talked about that the other day
Yeah, yeah, I know we already covered that man.
We covered that the day of just making the rounds.
Steam already done with this bullshit.
Yeah.
No worries.
You're good.
Yeah, no, we covered that days ago, days and days ago.
Yeah, I also have an AOC video out.
You can go watch that.
It just every day it's going to get worse and worse.
It's full on criminal activity at this point. Yes. You submitted your refund request today.
Understand if you're going to submit a refund request through Steam's automated system,
you'll likely get denied. Turn in a support ticket, talking to them about the situation,
and cite the fact that it's sitting at like 16% positive on Steam now as a result.
Like, yeah. Can Steam sue AOC? No. I mean, they're going to hold all the funds and then refund
everybody is kind of how that's going to go. Sounds like Steven Puck to still on
ran to save his own butt. Not only that, it feels planned. I don't know if it is
planned, but it feels that way. Because if the dude's doing a home ownership
transfer, leaving under protest, like these are very calculated decisions from
someone who knows what's going on. You know, none of it, none of it makes sense.
Yeah, the timeline in November is incredibly planned, but like the other thing too is like and I brought this up during the video if we go to ashes of creation and we go to their Kickstarter, right?
The Kickstarter says very specifically, if we go into this and we go all the way down here past all of this.
And we look at this, these are promises to you in the case that ashes of creation does not launch we promise to refund all backers in full.
Well, if we go into here and we look at the page, it technically launched in a really
shitty broken state, but that might technically fulfill the Kickstarter obligation so they
don't have to refund those people.
$3.2 million.
So like when we look at this, all of this feels very planned.
Now understand something, human beings are pattern-seeking.
We can find patterns where none exist, but it feels like this is planned, and it feels
like they knew what they were doing in this specifically to get out of that.
And that's going to come down to court cases.
There has to be court cases, there has to be an investigation by the state, there has
to be an investigation by the federal government, because you have 250 employees that have not
been paid that are not, in this case, able to apply for unemployment in some cases.
And you have a shithole of consumers that have been misled about a product, and many
of which cannot get refunds to the tune of millions of dollars.
So like, this can't just be the way that it is, yeah.
Isn't it enough people for class action?
Class actions don't get people their money back.
actions punish a company and make lawyers money. So I don't even think that that is appropriate.
I think this is a government action problem because the state of California is going to
go after them for the treatment of employees because they're breaking the law there. And
the federal government is likely going to want to do an IRS audit to find out what the hell
is going on here because none of this makes sense. Like that's really what that comes down to.
It's not even a petition. There's no like slacktivism shit that's going on with this. This is like
like government getting involved, shit.
Yeah, Cali Employment Contract is super strict.
It is, it's very strict.
You can't treat employees the way that they are, right?
Steve didn't plan for the game to fail.
He did have an advanced warning.
There's loans are coming through.
It doesn't matter if he planned or not, he lied.
The entirety of development, he lied.
And he said that the book stops with him,
that there is no investor,
There is no corporate entity above him, and it is in full control to steer that ship himself.
He lied the whole time, and then suddenly there's a board that has more control than
him that ousted him.
He took investments while lying to every one of the customers saying that there were no
investors.
That's misleading the customer.
So when you say that, and you're trying to defend him for it, I don't think there's
defense because he lied to the customer base about what he was selling them.
So there's no defense, man. Yeah. It's not really about him failing or not. It's about
him lying about a product that people were buying. That's it. Yeah. So like, I got, I got no sympathy
for him whatsoever, my dude. Yep. The whole, the whole selling point was there was no corporate
bullshit in the way that game. He lied about it. Like straight up. Yep. Like if there, if there is
no board, he lied about the existence of a board. And if there is a board, then he lied about there
never being a board. Like there's no way that he gets out of this without being a liar at all.
Yeah.
Was this released as a gain in development? It was released as an early access game,
which is still technically a launch by esteem.
So I know, I know some people kind of want to be like,
give him the benefit of the doubt shit. I'm not going to.
There's no benefit of the doubt there. He lied and then disappeared.
And that's it. Yeah.
Failing would be bad, but it would, I would understand.
This isn't failure. This is a lie. It's very different. Yeah.
Who owns the assets for Ashes now?
Karen Elborieco, which if you don't know who that is, I didn't either.
We'll go look at Karen Elborieco and you'll find something that shows up, a company called
Vema.
So, we'll look at Vema real quick and that goes into Wikipedia and you'll see that Vema,
a nutrition company that was privately held multi-level marketing company that sold dietary
supplements, the company was shut down in 2015 by the FTC for engaging in deceptive
practices and being a pyramid scheme.
Founded by Karen Boriego.
Now, funny thing about this, I have to put this on for this part.
It's just, uh, let's just pop this open for a moment.
Uh, you have Vema, right?
Which is that scam company.
And then what happens if you change those letters around a little?
my god it's the world of ashes of creation who could have known
so there's that enjoy that enjoy that
So that's upsetting you shit.
Yeah.
For why?
Because it's funny.
Because you have to laugh to not cry.
Right?
It's like, you know, I wish you didn't know that.
You know that it's too funny not to, right?
Like, I saw that I was like, God damn it.
Yeah.
I think the funniest thing of all
is that his brother Tim Sharif runs a company
called 310 Nutrition,
where they've been selling ashes of creation merchandise
since mid 2025, July on there.
And it's all like really low quality.
So if you go on Amazon right now
and you look up 310 Nutrition, you scroll down a little bit,
you'll find all of the ashes of creation merch on Amazon.
and it's been there for a year.
It just gets weirder the longer you look at this thing.
Like the longer you dig, it's like being in a dump
and you dig past a layer and you're like,
there's more garbage.
You dig past another layer and you're like,
there's even more garbage and you just keep doing that.
And it's just more garbage, right?
Yeah, that's it.
It's only in the N.A. Amazon.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, you're not even ready for the levels of scam that you've experienced in this.
It's insane.
There's a response I got after doing the support ticket for AOC.
Hello, I understand your sentiment regarding the game being shut down by the publisher.
Of your purchase greatly exceeds the terms set in our refund policy.
We're unable to make an exception.
Steam support doesn't have an update.
When the game will be available for purchase again, you may consider getting in touch with
the game's publisher for further updates.
I would state specifically that the game director lied to you as a customer about what the game
entailed, stating that there was no board of directors and that the game was being made
without any investment funds. And then after that, it came to light that there were investments
and now they're shutting down the company because of them. You were lied to as a consumer and they
they use Steam's platform as a method of getting your money on that lie,
which directly implicates Steam in this scam from that company.
The CEO misrepresented the company structure resulting in consumer harm.
State that in your message.
Say the CEO misrepresented the company structure resulting in consumer harm,
using Steam as a middleman to get my money.
State that in there and that you want to refund on this basis because steam is being used to hurt consumers
You'll get your money back guaranteed
We've had it happen for a lot of people yeah steam is being used as a weapon here, and they don't like that dude
Someone made an AI book for ashes creation on Amazon hilarious
The Tim-Sharif LinkedIn post at AOC, I know. Oh my god, dude.
Yeah, so you steam to circumvent their little refund policy if the game does not launch?
That's what it looks like, yeah.
Is Steam going to set a spec ops theme after Steven?
I mean, I'm going to be honest with you, dude.
through, Gaben owns $1.5 billion in yachts. You can't escape him on land, sea or air.
I would not, piss off Lord Gaben. He's the closest thing that we have to like a benevolent
bond villain. You don't want to mess with a man who owns a personal navy. That's a scary
the ass thing. I don't know. No. Nope. That's one good billionaire. Maybe he could be evil.
I just don't want to know about it, right?
Yeah.
If Gaben is evil, I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
It may be like, to be honest with you,
maybe he sacrifices one steam user a year
so that he can keep living, right?
I just don't want to know about it.
Maybe that's, who knows?
Yeah, Gaben could start World War III
and choose is not too true.
I bet he could.
I bet he could.
Someone volunteers his tribute every year, and Gaben survives.
Right?
He'll be there.
Along after humanity falls, long after the time of man, when the neuromancers roam the waste,
Lord Gaben will be there.
Because of the sacrifice of steam users.
Terrifying, isn't it?
Oop.
Some Emperor in the Forty. Dude, he could be the Emperor, right? Like...
Like, take it out of this way. We're all orcs. And we all believe in Lord Gaben, right?
Like, we basically created the Emperor of Mankind.
He's the Emperor of Consumer Rights, right? He's like a chaos god of Consumer Rights.
That's Gaben.
That's grim, dude. That's terrifying.
that
Yep.
like dude we even have we even have images of this holy visage dude like
there he is dude the emperor of mankind it's finally happened
it's insane it's so insane oh miracles are coming yeah it's called the steam
sale religion of gabanism gabanism okay that's getting weird actually insane
being
Wild dude
Okay
Bup
Is Ash's accretion actually dead? No, it's dead dead. It's dead dead. It's over. Yeah.
Like it's, it's, it's over. It's not even a chance of we're so back. It's just actually
over. What is this? What have you done?
You made her into a car. Big fungus!
Baiting for a trample. Create a 1-1 green fungus token.
Sacrifice a fungus. Plot a plus 1, plus 1 counter and big fungus.
Whenever you sacrifice a fungus, deal 1 damage to each opponent. That's insane.
Big fungus.
I set it to Shea, she's so chunky.
What's the cost of that card?
or colorless to green so wickedly I don't know what fading does magic after my time
playing the game heavily you have no idea no clue yeah I don't know what fading is
Did I have no clue?
I don't remember what that keyword does.
Let's find out.
Baiting in MTG.
What does this do?
Baiting means a permanent enters with end fade counters.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you must remove a fade counter.
If you cannot, you must sacrifice it.
Oh, so it only lasts for 4 thirds.
All right.
I don't think that works.
works. Okay, I'm gonna call that. I don't think it works. And I think the reason it doesn't
work is because Big Fungus is eternal. Yeah. Yeah.
The stats can be applied as additive multiplicative modifiers for different scale.
scaling.
There we go.
So do internal on this, and then we'll do,
what's the internal stat that's gonna be?
We've got a shitload of stats to pop in.
Absolute shitload.
Oh yeah, now we know about it.
Dark off.
Already seen it.
Already seen it all.
Grab that.
We're gonna go to damage melee.
damage ranged
and then what is this going to be?
damage magic
damage healing
changes powers so
melee damage
ranged damage magic damage and healing power I need to change all of this to be
reduced to like eight maybe to like nine let me go look at the other one for
gathering in my bandit towns what is this at that's eight okay we're gonna play
that's cheers at the eight eight there we go
and
there we go
and
outgoing healing by percentage
there we go
steam says you play battle star galactica deadlock did I play that you look
two point one hour is back in twenty eighteen
I don't know man like if I got
and you know I was eight years ago I got nothing then
two hours eight years ago I have no clue
yeah
clearly didn't have that good of a time
You don't remember 2024? That's probably for the best. You know, it's sort of a shit show.
Oh, we have so many different damage scalars.
2018 is extreme. Yeah.
By the way, Chet, I want to let you know 2018 was eight years ago.
and
yet
you graduated in 2017,
and got physical
and then we've got
The nightmare is real.
84 years, dude. It makes sense, I agree.
Yeah, water hurt! Go, Captain Planet, dude.
You were eight years ago? That's true, I was.
So your wrinkles develop? Someone you said that?
See, what you don't understand is that this stream is a cognitohazard,
But you have to face your own mortality, and every time that I make you feel old, I steal some of your life.
But in myself, as such, I get to live forever.
This has got to be named something else.
It's got to be not damage corruption, it's probably damage void, because we want to call it something else.
Yep, damage void.
Reading some void.
You just lost the game? Nice.
Thor's legit lich?
Maybe a little bit. I mean, eventually I want to become a demi-litch, but it's gonna be a while, you know?
Sing will die faster by watching your stream. I didn't say that
Just saying that
You might age a little faster, it's different. It's not the same
It's different, it's different.
It's not the same, Chad.
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, definitely not watching.
Free me from this mortal shell, human.
All right.
Fend a second game from 2017.
It was like suddenly due less on its theme.
Was that like a bad years for games?
I don't know. I don't remember.
It was a long time ago, right? It was nine years ago.
right? I have no idea. Also, I haven't been hitting this button. I should probably hit
that. Lord Cario has obtained the cursed quest. A
pole has begun for chat to decide their fate. Lord Cario, are you there? User, Lord Cario.
Are you in chat, sir?
That's Lord Carrio.
He's not here.
But Carrio is not here.
Unfortunate.
You must refund them, but I can't.
It's gone.
Next curse quest reviews when probably Tuesday.
Probably do it Tuesday.
Damage healing triggers me hard.
So we keep that so that it's actually like information internally.
So we keep the exact same token status for that.
Healing power is how it's displayed to the player.
It will never be displayed as damage healing to the player.
This is just so we can keep consistent naming.
So we know that this is an output.
Internal to chat has cursed Lord Cario with art.
Well, Lord Cario, if you were there, which you should be able to pick this up later.
Um, you need to draw the Emperor of Mankind on his golden throne as Lord Gabin.
That's, that's what I think it should be. Yeah.
You need to create Lord Gabin, the Emperor of Mankind, decrepit, mummy edition.
Maybe even on a, on a, on a yacht. Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't even move my face.
Not the dead version, 100% the dead version.
100%.
The game in protects, exactly.
We were talking about that earlier, so.
The Chong Squirrel is a- as a custodian? Yeah.
Big- Big fungus.
That's her name.
Golden Throne made of boats. Fair.
Yeah.
Have you watched some of the Scambaiters who infiltrate and social engineer scam call centers?
Yeah, I have.
And I've also got to do a collab with Kit Boga, who's a really awesome human being.
It was a lot of fun.
The Holy Gabon on his throne, on a yacht somewhere.
Yes.
Where does the Gabe Cube fit?
The Gabe Cube is hilarious.
Yeah.
is a
Are you are you all right there?
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna do that because that's getting weird
That's a little bit weird little sus. Yeah, time to mount
Would love to see another color with kibugger. Let him know. Yeah, no, I'm super down kibugger's awesome
It's very fun.
And one of these ads.
Which fire is melee weapons now? Does it really?
Someone tried to scam call you there.
Somebody's been scam calling me endlessly recently, which is quite funny.
that was a fun stream. Yeah.
I'm just trying to trade our marines, because Lord gave it his fail to get me an ashes refund.
Oh, shake silver, put in put in your ashes refund request with a support ticket to steam
and let them know that you are misled as a consumer by the direct,
the game director of Ashes of Creation, because they lied about having investors.
They lied by saying that there were no investors and there actually were,
and that's what led to the collapse of the studio.
And you as a customer were misled, and as such, you bought the game through Steam based on that lie.
If you, if you tell Steam that you were misled as a customer and Steam was the weapon
that took the money out of your wallet, that that bad developer used.
You'll get your money back.
Steam doesn't want to be that.
They don't want to be that at all.
Nanobotter and Jim Browning.
I don't. I haven't actually watched them.
No, I haven't watched them.
I don't watch a lot of YouTube right now.
Yeah, the CEO misrepresented the company structure.
Exactly.
You tried a similar argument, they still told you to hold that L.
We should probably write up Boilerplate to help you guys out for this because Steam should
be doing their due diligence and refunding people.
Yeah.
Have you been through the high-tell updates?
I saw them off-stream.
I'm listing all of our statistics right now.
of
I think that works.
Gave in us to refuel his yachts?
Probably.
I don't actually think we need these two.
The more that I think about it, these two don't need to exist.
They're covered by the status system.
Yeah, those are redundant.
Those are completely redundant.
Removing this.
What is this that wording was working yesterday so I genuinely think steam might have run
out of held payment from which to refund and now need another policy decision of whether
to go into negative on it.
I mean if they go into the negative on it they're going to have to go after ashes of
creation the company to get their money back.
But that makes sense because they only hold money for one month and if they just paid
out all of December into January they may have run out of all of the money to give to
years because they already sent the payment. And if you notice, they waited for the company
dissolution until February when Steam pays out from the 26th to the 30th of a month,
which means that Ashes of Creation got their December funds in January and then immediately
closed the company. So they timed it. They timed it to take Steam's money and walk away.
is wild. Yeah. Yeah, it all just, it's all just a little too perfect. It's all just a
little too perfect. Yeah. You've been using console us like you recommended. I love it.
Yeah, console us is super good. You've never used console us before. One of the things
I like is if you look at this as I scroll down this right here, they're all perfectly
in line because it's a mono space font which is really nice yeah now so it just
it feels a little too clean yeah that's like some oceans 11 shit you know how
insane should someone be to try to scam steam I mean they did it and they got
away with it so you know scroll up please no just say what you're gonna say man
Yeah, what? Companies don't like to sit out loud because it makes people abusive at times.
Yeah, no, I think they just timed all of this too perfectly. Yeah. That text feels good
in the eyes. Yeah, it does. I really like it personally. I need to get rid of the bold
on that one, though. As a rogue-like player, MonoSpace fonts are superior. I love MonoSpace.
monospace is where it's at, dude.
Yeah.
It has a whiff of nefarious.
Now you gotta prove it, you gotta prove it in court,
but like, I'll be real with you,
we've been sitting here talking to the developers
that we know, that we've been talking to the whole time.
And the last thing that they reported to me is that,
one, none of them have been paid still.
They've gotten three emails from the board
and all of them are AI generated
with no legal backing saying weird crap.
Their statement was, quote, this is a shit show.
I hope the courts pulled them all apart and then also they pulled away the termination
letter from our HR app so some of us can't even apply for unemployment and they still
haven't been paid.
Like dude, this is like bad.
This is really bad.
Okay, I really do hope that California steps in as a state and just shitt cans all of this.
And I hope that the federal government does too.
It's really not okay.
Yeah, this is intrepid that we're talking about.
It's very, very bad.
Like, yeah.
California won't act.
They don't care.
California is some of the most strict laws
on how you can treat your employees.
They absolutely will.
And here's the reason why.
California wants money.
How do they get money?
By finding the shit out of companies that do this.
They're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart.
They're doing it because they're gonna make
a lot of money off of it.
They're gonna, they're gonna absolute,
like when they get away from this finally,
they're gonna immediately be like,
hmm, there's fines in that.
I love fines in California.
And that's what they'll do.
That's 100% what they're gonna find
shit out of them, dude. Straight up. And the IRS getting involved is gonna be like,
that smells like an audit. I love doing audits, because then I get more money. Like, literally,
it's just going to be the government going, there's money in that. I want it, right? That's,
they're not doing it to just protect you. They're doing it because they smell money,
which is fine in this case. Go just be like, Hey, California, you know,
there's money in this for you. If you, if you do the right thing, there's money in it.
There's money over here. It's a little bit of blood in the water for them. Be like, there you go.
and the sharks will arrive, you know? That's all you need. Rare government W? No, it's not really
a government W. It's not. It's just, it's kind of like leading a bull by the nose, right? You're
like, over here, we have a big pile of money, government. It could be yours if you do the
thing you're supposed to do. You know, like that's, that's all, I'm not a big fan of the government,
you know, like, if you haven't noticed. Yeah, the monster's still a monster,
even if it eats your enemies. Exactly. 30 on 30, 100%.
Yeah, exactly. The government is the HR department of the country, not your friend,
but for now our interests a lot. I would like the government, I would,
I wish intrepid a very unpleasant government. That's what I wish them right now.
Yeah, yeah, I've been saying shit, dude. Please explain 30 on 30, just look up 30 on 30 and you'll find a video of Dragon Ball Z. It's an old name.
It's a piccolo rep about not being a big fan of the government.
I've been saying I'm not a big fan of the government since before I knew about that meme and then like every time I'd say I'm not a big fan of the government people in my chat would say 30 and 30 and I was like what the hell are you talking about?
And then I looked it up and I was like Jesus Christ I'm literally just him. Yeah. So it's just like that.
I wish intrepid a very long and pleasant state as majesty's pleasure dude. I wish intrepid a very long and pleasant audit from the IRS dude like
It's getting weird
How many statuses do I have to do here it's gonna be so many statuses isn't
We've got seven statuses status
Let's get this bleed.
Burn.
Chill.
Sheer.
Poison.
West.
First.

First
Volgans always make the best decisions for the country. I
Wish I
Wish intrepid a very I wish intrepid ownership a very pleasant Volgon poetry. That's what I wish. Yeah
Good poetry slam from the Volgans
What are we gonna call this the player so internally we call it status bleed I
feel like there's got to be another term we can use for players to understand
what they're getting out of this is it bleed impact or what the hell am I gonna
call this bleeding no it's bleed build up maybe because it's the amount of impact
the bleed has until it builds up to a full bleed, you know, and I just don't know what that should be.
I'm not sure in synchronization. No, because like, basically the way that this works is when you hit
an enemy with 50 of status bleed, it builds up an internal bar. When that hits maximum, it resets
this back to zero, and then makes it to the next time that bar is 1.5 times what it was originally.
So like the idea is to build it all the way up from multiple hits until the bleeding effect is
on and then it's harder to make them bleed and then it's harder to make them bleed it's harder
to make them bleed and we do this for all the status effects. Think monster hunter right?
Monster hunter works the same way but with a lot of different effects this time and the idea is to
slow down time to kill in the beginning of the fight and increase it over time. So I'm wondering
like what I call that in terms of this we don't want to call it blood burst or anything like that
because that denotes like an explosion of damage, right? It gets harder and harder as the fight goes on. Yes. Yeah, status is very easy to apply in the beginning and very difficult to apply at the end. It falls off. And I wanted that to be that's an intentional thing. So I don't know what what I want to call this.
Um, I wouldn't call it rending because rending makes you think of like,
I don't know, damage over time or some shit hemorrhaging, clotting. No, because you think
about the stat name guys, not, not the impact effect, not the debuff on the enemy, the stat on
your gear. If you see something called clotting on your gear, you won't know what that means. It's
got to be descriptive in some way. Like I don't even know, like bleed buildup. I may actually
just call it build up, right? Serrated. It doesn't really describe to the player what it does. That
makes me think more damage, right? But that doesn't make any sense. If you, you want it to be descriptive
in the way where it makes sense to the player when they read it, they know what that stat does.
They don't have to mouse over it because I could call it like red storm trauma or some
shit. People are like, what the hell is that shit? What do you mean 5% red storm trauma? Like
Like what, what does that mean?
Right?
Right, you know what I mean?
And we have to do this for every one of these
and make it kind of similar.
So like burn, build up, chill.
I think I'm just going to call it build up.
There's, accumulation is kind of a long,
that's like a $5 word, right?
I want like a $2 word.
So I think build up is the right way to do it.
Like bleed, build up.
Like wounding.
When I say wounding to you though,
what does that mean to you?
That might mean a slow
That might mean damage to a body part that might mean a chance to do explosive damage. There's so many different ways
To feel about that bleed build up
Is very specific, right?
Weakness and all weakness that means less damage though bleed bleeding stacking resilience is not a resilience effect
I don't think it's a good word for it. I don't think so either.
Buildup is kind of mad though. It is kind of mad, but it's a stat. It doesn't need to be fancy,
right? You don't have to like, bump it up, right? It just needs to make sense to the grand majority
of players. It needs to, like we could call it debuff, laceration, right? Because you mouse over
and you see what it does. Bleed rate buildup is nice and simple. I think bleed buildup is the
way because then we could do burn build up we just say build up for each one of them yeah
because it's it's a build up to the next impact effect
what that's shit that's really weird there we go
so burn build up chill build up
up
sheer build up
poison build up
bless build up
and curse build up
there we go
barricose veins?
yes
blood intravenous infusion
what does it mean?
ugh
I like how you guys are getting more obscure at this point.
Are you making a mod?
We're porting our MMO from Minecraft over to Hytale.
And I'm going through all the different statistics that we're adding in the system right now.
We've got all our write-ups for all our town system, the gathering system, the crafting
system, status effects and how those work, year balance, class fantasy.
Economics isn't written yet, but I'm writing player stats now.
We'll put this up kind of towards the top.
Random ass bleeds that. Hell yeah, random ass bleeds that.
Would necrotizing fasciitis be cursed or poisoned? God damn.
I think it's a secret third thing.
Bloodletter, bloodletting? No.
I just, it's like, think about it this way.
Kratos, if you see bloodletting on a weapon,
what are you doing first?
You're mousing over it to find out what the hell it means, right?
No, no.
Used your code to get the game.
Thank you. That's very nice of you.
You're back to old game maker projects.
I ban in a long time ago yesterday.
Oh, yeah, dude.
That's awesome.
You know you have the ability, it's just the attitude and discipline that's just difficult for you.
It's like that for everybody.
You know, spend your time on it.
Do what makes sense to you.
You know, work on it every day.
Or every other day.
Would right make sense of a build up?
Maybe.
With a variety of status effects you're planning on using, people are going to need that anyway.
So one out of the mouseover.
So here's the genius of this.
I think on a buildup stat, it at least makes sense that if you put this on,
it's going to cause bleed more often, right?
And on the enemy, we can have debuffs displayed that if you mouse over that
tooltip, we can actually have the tooltip display what a bleed is doing.
So that way we can organize this based on the statistic is descriptive and the
tooltip is exhaustive description.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
It's about where does it live in the UI.
Another RPG I played used the term potential.
Her status buildup, that's kind of cool.
Potential is neat.
The problem is when I think of potential, I think that maybe it makes the bleed stronger,
not just more common.
And that's not what it does.
It just makes it more common.
Does that make sense?
What do you mean adopted his cat finally Bailey's owned him for years dude.
His owners have asked you to become his legal owner.
You just got universal cat distribution system, dude.
Yeah.
Bleed frequency?
No, I think I like this.
I think I like this name.
Yeah.
Let's use Bleed Up?
Nah, I don't like that.
of
the
Invisible Louchies. Bird up. Bird up.
I have an achievement for that in Heartbone called Bird Up.
You have to interact with like 50 birds in Animas for some shit.
It's very silly.
Alright, I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick and eat just a minute.
Thank you for watching!
I've returned.
All right.
Scatter is no escape.
So I kind of have two feels about this, right?
I have two feelings about this.
So I kind of have two feels about this, right?
I have two feelings about this.
An item that say fire, a fire weapon, is naturally going to have some burn buildup, some status burn, right?
So with that in mind, if we, let's say that they take a rune and the rune gives them status frost.
Do we want frost buildup to occur if there is no frost damage off of the weapon?
Or do we want that to be wasted?
Because otherwise people are just going to put rainbow status on everything, which I don't think is really the intention.
Does that make sense?
Less than if stacked, we can't really determine a value there, right?
Does that make sense? Make it weak, but have if not damage type? I think it should be all
or nothing, personally. I think nulling it makes the most sense. We'll have to put that
under the status effects information here. Each element damage component carries its
own status effect that applies different mechanics. The intention is to stop all of these from
feeling like differently colored poison mechanics. Yeah. Yeah, let's so we'll do that.
There we go. If in effect there's status burn and does not have corresponding damage fire
outgoing then the status burn does not apply. This should be indicated in the tooltip of
the weapon by crossing it out to show that it does not apply and is wasted. I think that
works the best for that. Yeah, I think we can just do that.
You had a secondary wave causing fire. Could you still proc burn with it?
If
So I'm not actually doing flat damage on any of the runes. If a weapon is a fire weapon, it is a fire weapon
So if you have a weapon just two types of damage, it can have two types of status applied
If it's an earth weapon, it can apply poison. If it's a fire weapon, it can apply burn
If it's a fire weapon, you put rainbow status effects on it with runes
it's not going to apply everything because that just gets overpowered very fast. Does that make sense?
I don't think unrelated status effects should be halved. I think they should be nulled because
otherwise it removes the uniqueness of the weapon that you're using. Only fire should burn. Only
earth should poison. You should be making decisions based on the effect that can be applied with the
damage that you're dealing. And if I just let you get all of them, you're just going to Swiss
army knife it does that make sense
yeah
yes a status name like that you know
of
What if one person applies the status fact and another applies the damage effect?
No, no, no, no, no, no, if you if you're doing you could even do one point of fire damage and then like like we could have weapons this way that work really interesting right so we could have damage fire right equals one but status burn equals 50.
So this weapon does very little damage,
but builds up burns very quickly.
So you can have support characters that apply statuses.
You can have a weapon that has reduced damage,
but high status impact.
Does that make sense?
That way we can balance it around that.
We can make it so that it does a lot of fire damage,
but it does very little status effect.
All of these can be done now if we build it this way.
You go to different direction and go if fire
plus earth equals lava damage, that's exactly it too.
So if I do a weapon that does damage fire and damage earth,
then that means it can do status burn and status poison.
So if you do like a lava kind of effect, it can apply both as long as
these two exist, the damage, fire and damage earth, it can apply status,
burn status poison.
So I think it's interesting.
It makes you build around elemental impacts, right?
Breakup fire damage and burn effect into heat and burn.
I mean, that's kind of what it is, right?
That's already done.
It's damage, fire, and status burn.
Are their statuses just dots?
Are they alternate effects?
Oh, no, they're very different.
So like, bleed reduces the overall damage done by the opponent, status burn reduces
physical defense, chill reduces movement speed and cooldown reduction, shear reduces magical
defense, poison reduces healing received, blessed heals, wind dealing damage, cursed
takes damage, wind dealing damage.
So the idea with this is I don't want red poison, and what I mean by that is poison,
green poison does damage over time in video games, fire is just red poison.
You're lit on fire.
It's effectively the same as having poison.
It's just red instead of green.
We don't want that.
There's got to be interesting mechanics that you can build out of applying different debuffs,
and there has to be reasons for why you're applying those debuffs, and reasons to use
different elemental impacts instead of just doing rainbow status.
Yeah.
That was your question. Yeah, so I think this this works better
Yeah, I don't want I don't want differently colored M&Ms
It's not fun that way. There's gotta be there's gotta be like a reason for choosing that M&M killer. Yeah
Do they also deal dots? I was not planning on having them deal dots
I'm happy planning on having them be debuffs, right? It's not a damage over time effect
Other ring is poison and crimson rot both can be active the same time too. Yeah, but it's just poison and red poison
It's not that interesting to me. Right? I don't want it to be that. It's got to,
it's got to do different shit. Red M&M makes brain go faster. Okay. Yeah. Fire weakens
armor. You got it. That's reduces physical defense. Hey, you figured it out. Red poison
does a lot more damage. Who cares? Right? Just because it does more damage, doesn't
make sense. Right? Like it just, it just doesn't, you could just, you just not have more points.
I don't want to have strawberry poison and poison original flavor, right?
I think brown M&M's are better than the rest. Okay.
You and your M&M's, dude.
Wasn't there like that Skittles guy that had the Skittles program for that?
Damage, blessed.
Damage, cursed.
We need to apply damage to these.
Yeah, I have to apply damage to this somehow.
But that doesn't really work.
Poison and stronger poisons just kind of land.
So we got to go back to the player stats and I need to take a look at something.
Now we have a little bit of a problem.
This has to be solved.
We have healing power increases outgoing healing by percentage, but we don't have we've damaged
physical fire frost wind and earth damage physical is a multiplicative scalar with damage
may lay in damage range, but that only increases the physical aspect of that. Healing is always
healing. So if we do damage, blessed, it's always going to do that. And I'm wondering
if that's good or fun in any possible way. Do want damage, bless and damage curse? I
I don't know because blessing is always going to be bad.
What does damage bless do?
Amplifies healing.
Yep, blesses are healing.
The idea is that you have two scalers, right?
Weapon can have physical and magical at the same time, but healing is just healing so
Other different classes. Yeah, they're listed underneath
Class fantasy
You can go read those
This document is public so you can just grab it. Let's go look
There you go.
Needyah.
The skilling do undead damage.
Not currently, but I feel like it should.
You know?
I feel like that should do that.
No axolotl, Submitter, okay.
Bless you on dead damage, yeah,
but it's not really about that,
it's about blessing your allies, right?
It's not Minecraft, is it?
Yeah.
Undead have negative HP?
No, that's weird.
That'd be very weird.
Bless you more damage on dead
and curse you more damage to living.
What does it do when you're healing an ally then?
I kind of like does more damage to undead.
I kind of like that.
Because if you bless, if you bless an undead blessing
Under status effects, let me grab status effects, put it up here.
The way that Bless works is it makes it heal whenever it does damage.
If we have an undead and we debuff them with that, that is actually really powerful, right?
I think that's a huge deal thing.
So I think the idea of doing healing, wind-dealing damage on an undead target, so we bless them
and every time they attack, they deal damage themselves.
I think that's really interesting.
Yeah, I think that's super interesting actually.
Final Fantasy also just healing does damage done dead.
But if you raise one, they just died.
I feel like he raising one just insta killing it is a little bit of a me.
I know, right?
No, Mac Madison is a weird one.
We get weird ones all the time.
And that one's like, that's like really weird.
Pull that up.
Let's see
There we go
Yeah, set that one off
So personally effective if they attack yeah, this is based on damage dealt right
it because Thaumaturgy's cast curses and blessings.
I feel like it should do it when we heal allies
and also when we deal healing damage to undead.
I think that works.
and
Yeah, increases healing damage done dead by a percentage increases first, but first damage
to living by a percentage.
I think that works really well.
Divine Favor sounds better.
It's kind of cool.
I like that.
Have you heard of Played Wizard 101?
Why is that such a common question though?
No, I've heard of it.
I've never played it.
I don't know anything about it.
But it's become a super common question last week.
It's very strange.
Divine Favor and Devil's Dew?
That's kind of cool.
I like that. We can flavor these up later. I think that they don't really have a big amount of flavor right now
Holy Heal's living and hurts undead. Raphane heals undead and demons and hurts living. Yeah, I think it's fun
Yeah
I like that.
I do like that.
Yep.
Do you have an opinion on view-bottling?
super humongous streamer has become the target of
bonding allegations.
I'd like to your take on it.
I think,
I think the weirdest thing about view,
bonding allegations always makes me laugh.
It's no matter how many people you have,
if it's more than someone expects you to have,
or more than they think you deserve,
you get yelled at and said that you're view-bottling.
We can have 2,000 people in here.
There's view, they say it's view-bottling.
It's a thousand.
They say it's view-bottling.
It's 5,000.
They say it's view-bottling.
I have been view-botted on Twitch before,
where our channel popped up to 200,000 viewers,
which is obviously not real.
And all you do is when that happens,
you just report it to Twitch and you move on.
You just go, hey, Twitch,
wanna let you know I have 200,000 viewers right now.
I'm obviously not supposed to have that many.
That's a bit much.
And then like, that's it.
You just gotta move on from it.
But no matter what it is,
usually the way that I feel about it
is if someone's accusing someone of viewbotting,
it's cause they don't like them
and they don't think they deserve the audience they have,
more than anything else.
It's, it's, that's the grand majority of cases.
So, yeah, that's about it.
Oh, let's see.
Okay, so we've got all of our damage component types.
I think this works.
I don't actually have names for them yet.
Not good names anyway.
But I think this works.
Me and my armies of bottle bottles, bottle bottles, dude.
The five-year-old bits to the minimum for TTS,
is or 50,000 channel points and I haven't been hitting the button because I'm bad.
Penguin with a gun said high four I have an extra humble bundle key for Nine Souls since
I already bought the game to you or one of your mods wanted seven.
You can give it out to the community if you'd like to if you do that in a stream chat over
in Discord I think there's nothing wrong with that.
Um yeah it's totally fine.
Yeah Nine Souls is an awesome game dude.
Yeah.
We can prove we're all about seven.
Seven.
Seven.
I
Just got my entire city to watch you stream that day, bro. Okay
It didn't make me laugh. I was like Jesus Christ, dude
Yeah, that's like players all the sevens now on twitch side. It's a mess Chad is a mess. This makes me laugh
But that's that's kind of like goes man is like I don't know
bunch of tall poppy syndrome shit
Bucket of crads
So let's see we do curse build up
or hit by a flat amount.
Yeah, when that damage type is set,
and I think we can add that into the status effects,
write some more stuff on that.
I think undead and demons make sense.
Do you like devils do you and divine favor? I think that's quite cool. I
Do really like that. Yeah
Undead demons undead and demons. Yeah
Real bum is he's not a good credible way to prove botting without twitch numbers true and like
It's also a little bit of
Fox in the henhouse kind of problem where it's like, even if you could prove that people
wouldn't believe Twitch because Twitch has a vested interest in having higher numbers
because they have higher numbers they can command more sponsorships through their system
and more advertisers will want to engage with them.
So like there's a little bit of you can't really trust anyone on this shit.
So it just leads to a lot of conspiracy and accusations that can never be proven and just
kind of social media justice bullshit.
I just I just think it's all stupid honestly you guys the community that I have I
Hope that most of you are real
It's kind of how I go about my day right, you know
Bleep loop I know right but like I don't know
Real me now, I know right like
divine disfavor and devil's diligence as well listen to me dude yeah your luck
score becomes a totally average superposition with a comical status
effect thrown at Jesus Christ that sounds like an April Fool's joke April
Fool's is coming soon soon did you miss the ashes news yeah none of the devs are
It's being paid still.
It's awful.
It's completely awful, actually.
no man.
We live in the matrix, only believe the Oracle.
hmm here's the problem the oracle's also a program
how can you believe the oracle she's part of a system man
have a cookie god damn it she's literally a browser dude she's a server
you're the browser she's just keeps giving you cookies
Have a cookie.
Agent Smith is the one, technically true, yeah.
I'm really glad that The Matrix was a singular movie all on its own that was so impactful
to our society and that no other Matrix movies ever were made because it was perfect as it
was.
makes me happy about the matrix. Nothing will ever change my mind on that.
The intrepid deaths have updated in what way? On the UCC website?
and
now nothing's changed
and still showing Carol Borreco and
the most unique different men
But was it as good as the Matrix?
Looks like the debts have been paid apart from hers.
Really?
Enter the Matrix is a good game.
I don't know if it got paid or not.
Yeah, I don't know anything about it.
Animatrix is up there.
I just, I don't know dude.
I wasn't really a fan.
Like, I liked the Matrix.
That's all I liked.
Anything beyond that just doesn't exist to me.
You know?
Use Path of Neo remake?
Maybe not a remake, but also a remaster of Gensan?
I don't know dude.
What about Ash's Recreation situation?
What about it?
I already talked about it.
To death.
I even put out a 33 minute long video on it.
You know?
If you're wondering about like today, what we're talking about is I'm in talks with one of the devs that we've been talking to throughout the entirety of the life cycle of ashes.
And that dev has stated a number of things today. So they keep getting emails from the board and they've gotten a third one now and it all of them are AI written with no legal backing and saying weird shit.
That it's such a shit show and they hope that the courts pull them all apart.
And their termination letter was deleted from the HR app so some of them can't even apply for unemployment properly.
And nobody's been paid still.
It's really bad, dude.
It's real, it's really bad.
So, yeah.
Yeah, it's a scam.
Yeah.
They've ripped off all of their employees.
I did, I said HR up.
Yeah.
The Matrix 4 is a protest movie, they didn't want to make it.
They didn't want anyone else to either, WB told them.
If they didn't make it, it was being made anyway.
Dude, I don't even, what do you mean the matrix for?
What the hell is that?
No dude, there's the matrix.
That's it.
There's nothing after that.
Telling 10 lies.
It's just the matrix.
You like the last one?
Yeah.
The final movie. The only movie.
Singular. One and done.
That was more than 10 lives. See at least somebody got the Dr. Tran reference.
Dr. Tran. He's a real doctor.
My boy's in denial? No, I'm not. I'm not even in Egypt.
I know. I know what it is.
The Matrix is a singular movie that was good once.
nothing else came after that it was a one-and-done brilliant story in a single
movie with no sequels no derivative content nothing done
what the animatrix dude I'm gonna be honest with you even the animatrix they
just don't care the matrix just the matrix that's all I want that's all I
want him you obviously mean the Phantom Menace I swear to God he's got a PhD in
kicking your ass dude I love Dr. Trent that's like a blaster that you know
that's four by three that's how you know it's old because it was fit for TVs that
don't exist anymore. Yeah, that's
uh,
how do you feel that ntx being removed from RuneScape 3? It
makes me want to try RuneScape 3,
legitimately. Yeah. Like that, that makes me want to try it
because I didn't want to with all that, you know,
Damage.
We're going to add some more damage components.
Damage.
We've got four damage components going here.
There's so much damage scaling in block game, it's insane.
PvP, PvE, Backstab.
I think there's all the damage dealt when behind a target by a percent.
You can't sneeze that never comes.
That's grim, dude.
That's grim.
There's only two Indiana Jones movies.
I think the moment that you put Indiana Jones inside of a refrigerator I lost all respect
for you.
That's about where it stopped for me.
You put him inside a refrigerator, I'd discount that and anything that comes after that.
That's where I'm at.
Yep.
But it's lead lined, I don't give a shit.
That was the jump the shark moment.
Anything that was there or came after that, I'm out.
Everything before that, fine.
That was the defining moment for Indiana Jones.
What if you had Lego to them?
Lego?
In my opinion, in movie and film, does not exist.
If it is a Lego spinoff, it does not exist to me.
I ignore it.
Frigerator was originally the time machine for Back to the Future, god damn it.
This is the wrong opinion, I don't care.
It's my opinion, I'm gonna have it.
If it's a Lego movie, I'm out.
I'm out.
Lego movie is pretty funny to be fair.
Every time I see a Lego film, it relies entirely on...
humor.
Usually based around one-liners.
Like, redditisms.
And joking about the fact that they're made out of lego.
And I just don't give a shit.
I just don't!
Like, I want, I want the movie to stand on its own
without being little plastic people.
Isn't that great?
No, not to me!
It seems cheap.
Almost like plastic.
Yeah...
Yeah, maybe series of CSI the TV show CSI Miami that shit was hilarious I can't take
it seriously but I think it's hilarious I think it's hilarious because it's over the
top like they tried to go as far as possible with ridiculousness I see that
should his parody. It probably wasn't meant to his parody, but I see it as parody.
Enhance. Yeah.
Like, I've got particular feelings about this. You may not agree, but that's fine.
You asked me for my feelings on it. Not how you feel about it.
Based off of mine.
It's basically a Rift on Star Wars though.
Wait, CSI Miami?
What?
Who's in this meme?
All of us.
That's not banter.
If you want banter, we're gonna banter.
Oh, we already talked about it, Sassy.
Um, basically the devs still haven't been paid, and they're receiving emails from their
board and it's all AI generated nonsense.
House is a G. House is a drug addict.
There's a way to describe every episode of House.
It is an equation.
And I don't think it's bad.
I just think it's predictable.
to Sherlock Holmes, he's not. He's not really Sherlock Holmes. It's an equation.
All right. So, like, we're talking, we're talking about the house, right?
You guys are talking about how house works. I always see this as kind of being the thing.
It starts off with person has problem, right? House says problem is not actually this problem.
problem. Problem is other problem. Everyone goes, no, house wrong. And then patient gets
worse. House goes, no, is actually this problem. Everyone says, no, still wrong. House does
something illegal. Proves that he is correct. No matter what it is, could be insane. Doesn't
matter. Does something illegal? Some bullshit? Everyone goes, wow,
how's genius? Repeat. That's it. That's all it is every time.
It's always just this over and over again. And like, it's
really entertaining. But once you watch it enough, you're like,
okay, I know it's coming next, he's gonna do some illegal
shit. Whatever it's gonna be. Right? I think the only time they
broke that pattern was when he thought it wasn't lupus and that it actually was
lupus. It's like the only time there's it's so rare that they do that that you
remember those episodes because they didn't follow the formula. It doesn't
mean it's less entertaining, it's just predictable. You know, how's the why are
they booing me? I'm right. That's true. Also, he's a drug addict. So they go mix
that in there somewhere. Yeah. And that's it. You know, it's fine. Forget the part
where that, uh, one person that appears to get sick at the start is a diversion and get some one
else sick. Is that true? Yeah. It's always, it's always some bullshit like that though. Like, that's
the grand majority of the episodes that I see. He's not an addict. He's in pain, bro. He's both.
He's literally both. It's never Lupus except that one time where it was, you know, it's God. I,
I love house though, to be clear with you. I love watching that show because it's comfortable. I know
what's coming next. House is gonna, you know, he's gonna talk about the medicine drug and
Evan's like, you can't use the medicine drug. That'd be bad. He's like, I'm gonna use it
anyway. And then he uses it like, oh my God, he saved his life. And then somehow that dude
whose life is saved never ends up suing the hospital ever. Somehow, right? Like through
every episode, you know, even though they totally could, because House did some illegal
bullshit.
Is it an ex health care professional who is so wrong in so many ways?
Yeah, it's crazy, dude.
He Laura just makes it work.
He does.
Like, to be honest with you, he makes house.
He makes that character.
And if I see him in anything else ever for the rest of his life, I'll be like, oh, that's
house.
Because he plays it well.
really well. Yeah, it's, it's houses a roller coaster that you ride every time you go to
the fair. You know the loops, you know the dips, but it's still fun to do. It's familiar.
Yeah. You know exactly what's going to happen next, which is fun.
King George. Honestly, I think the reason why I like House has a character well, he's extremely
well written. He is a sarcastic, rude piece of shit. And I love that. Like I love it. You know,
100%. And I'm like, oh yeah, it's going to be one of those moments where if a doctor did that in
real life, the whole hospital in him would be sued, but we're going to watch it play out anyway.
He's not really rude. He's just straightforward. No, he's both dude
You could be straightforward without being a dick
He has theatrical flair on top of his straightforwardness specifically to be a dick
You know
Yeah, you straight up a dick dude
And I guess that's that kind of makes the show
Yeah, he's not a good person, but he's good at what he does.
I agree with that.
He's kind of like Dexter in that way.
Dexter's not a good person, but he's good at what he does.
The overall outcome is technically good for people.
Technically.
Yeah.
And you have a link for the block game design doc here, bud.
You have it up.
There you go.
I've just been adding to this, did I?
Because this is all the stuff that we're moving over to Hytale.
And I'm trying to think about how we're going to change the statistics for this.
I think I'll probably get down into like health stats and things like that now because I think
I have all the damage stats the way that I want them to exist in the design doc now.
Which is cool.
He's believable as a person.
I don't think House is believable.
House is not believable to me at all.
Kind of like superheroes aren't believable to me. Like they're above the law. House is like above the law.
He's a good person, just not a nice person.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
He's a great character, but not a real person. That's true. I mean, that's TV.
House is chaotic. Good.
He has his heart of gold moments. He does. He does actually have heart of gold moments.
What about Dr. Cox from Scrubs vs. House? Scrubs?
You could, I know, I watched Scrubs a lot when I was growing up.
grown up. If you've ever watched Scrubs, imagine that show, but it's a drill sergeant. And
then military personnel, and the show would be exactly the same. It'd be exactly the
same show. You could replace any event with like a like just straight, it's mash. It is.
It is straight up mash. And I don't think a lot of people caught that. Is like, if you
ever seen mash you might actually let me like mash you might actually like
scrubs it's basically the same formula which I think is cool it's just in a
hospital setting right yeah mash is great and scrubs is great what's mash
boomer TV I don't know how to describe that right scrubs is getting a new
season. What? Everybody's ancient. What do you mean? What do you mean?
Mesh is incredible. Finally lives rent for you. Yeah, no, I mean, Mesh and Scrubs share a lot of DNA
between the two. Yeah.
So like if you've, if you've never seen Mesh, but you like Scrubs, you might want to go watch Mesh.
It's an older show, but it's good. It's quite good. Yeah
Penguin what is that? What are you doing? Why are you doing that with?
What is what have you done to those keys my dude?
The chicken episode is brutal nice
Scrubs had some sad episodes, a lot of slow dying. My favorite episode of Scrubs was actually the musical one
Where that person had I think it was a brain injury that made them see everything as a musical and hear it all as a musical
I think that's what it was or is it was a brain injury or a tumor or something like that
So the whole episode was just a musical with theatrical fanfare and it's just ridiculous, right?
It's just actually ridiculous. It was quite funny. It was a really good episode. It was great. It was a really good episode
Yeah, so it's good. I think they do a really good job of that.
Spoilers? Oh, come on. It's hilarious.
That episode is older than you.
Oh.
Brendon Frazier playing the patient? I don't remember. It's so old.
Yeah, spoilers. Dumbledore dies. Whoa!
Oh, shit.
If you're like the three studios, that was kind of before my time, but after seeing that
growing up, yeah.
Yeah, I like three studios.
I like Slapstick, man.
And like, I don't know, Slapstick feels pretty dead when it comes down to it.
Like the only thing you get now for Slapstick, I think the last time I remember really Slapstick
being a thing is Dumb and Dumber.
about it, you know, dumb and dumber as well. Like you don't really get a lot of that now.
Yeah. You know, you miss movies. I miss.
I miss Mel Brooks. I don't think you could release a classic Mel Brooks movie today
without half the internet lighting on fire and canceling it. I actually don't think you could.
I think the only time you could tell the jokes like Mel Brooks did is in small communities
on things like YouTube with stuff like letter K. Yeah, stuff like letter K. But like if
you go back and watch the old Mel Brooks movies, none of that shit would fly today.
Blazing saddles released today would be insane, dude.
When I was in high school, this is, this is wild actually.
When I was in high school, I had a psychology teacher and she had us watch blazing saddles
in class. And some of the students went home and told their parents like how funny it was,
and the parents actually tried to get my teacher fired, and it was in the local newspaper.
She ended up not getting fired for it. But Blazing Saddles was even like a big deal back then.
And if you try to watch that today in a setting like that, it would not fly at all. Yeah, it would
would not fly in any possible way. Yeah, how long ago was that
teacher? She was trying to get us to watch the psychology class.
She was getting us to watch it to talk about like the effect of
language, the psychological effect of language, and how
context changes the psychological effect of different
words. Because blazing saddles uses the n word a lot. Like
that's what it does. And in the context that they use it, they
only ever have the villains use it, which immediately draws the
association, that it's a bad thing to say. And it was a
really interesting class. It was a really good class to have
and like talk about like the power of language and like what
it means in context and like all of that kind of stuff was was
really important. But uh, yeah, it was couldn't have that
conversation without it exploding. Right is the idea. In
class, we all were very much so appreciated. Like nobody there
was upset. We defended the teacher like we're like, no, this
was this was done in a way that we could understand it made sense.
Yeah, it wasn't just like saying it to say it. I was saying it to talk about it, you know
Yeah, the parents were mad the students all understood the students were down for it
Yeah, so I think I think that's really interesting and I don't think I don't think Mel Brooks movies would fly today, man
Yeah, I
Don't think Mel Brooks movies would fly today. I'm interested to see what happens with Space Bulls too
I am because I love Mel Brooks and I love the movies that he makes and I
Think his humor is super fantastic
Young Frankenstein is the classic, that's true.
It's Frankenstein!
Yeah, parents are mad because they were missing context, which is kind of the point of the
class we were having.
There's some of the whole point, man, you know?
Yeah.
Abbey normal, yes.
Did you watch the series for History of the World Part II?
What do you mean the series?
I know the movie.
That was directed by him, a remake of the producers, the producers phenomenal.
Yeah. Context is key. It is.
I think I think the only kind of avant-garde comedy that I see that's very mainstream
outside of his key and peel.
Key and Peel did that for a long time.
They even made fun of the producers for a little while.
They had a skit for that, which I think that was fantastic.
And you get some kind of like insult comics and stuff like Triumph the Insult Dog is fantastic.
Um, kind of, you know, going off of Carlin's base that he made for his time,
but you don't really have a lot of humor that try to,
tries to really get into that outside of what key and peel did.
And I haven't really seen anything since, you know,
it's very little of that.
That makes it why is kids, you know, and key and peel were the ones who really
touched on it the most, not really much outside of that.
If you guys find anything like it'd be great, cause I just, I miss that shit.
Yeah.
I think the one that gets me every time is the marbles one because it's just so stupid.
Chappelle show was awesome. Okay. I agree with that. Actually, I forgot about Chappelle
because he like disappeared. Um, why does kids, you know, Chappelle and Key and Peele.
And I think that's those are the big ones. Do you know Randy Felt face? I do. I do know
Randy Felt face. Another insult comic. I like him. Yeah. Yeah. Why does kids, you know,
was great. Abraham Lincoln one is pretty funny. Yeah. I feel
like it was the original Top Gun came out today. It wouldn't be
as popular. I feel like airplane wouldn't be right. It's just
times have changed. People have changed. Yeah, Rick Trevor
Moore agreed. Yeah, Randy Feldfist is funny. I like him a
lot. But I don't do it like, like if you look back at humor as
it goes, my one of my favorite comedians, I would say is
Carl straight up right like that's easily easily my favorites and it was
because I really liked how he called out hypocrisy of language my favorite
skit of his was talking about we don't say people died we say they passed away
that shit cuz I hate that shit he's dead you know like it's just like I don't
Oh, it's just ridiculous.
Yeah.
That's why I like Carlin.
Oh, the unalive.
Yeah, it directly calls out the behavior we see
on TikTok now and on social media
because you're not allowed to say suicide, for instance.
Not allowed to say those words
if you're making a YouTube short or a TikTok video,
you will get demonetized.
So you have to say they unalive themselves.
And I was like, that's some 1984 shit, dude.
That's exactly the shit that Carlin was making fun of.
And it's exactly the shit that they made fun of in 1984 of like double plus un-good, right?
And I think it does damage to that the entire subject of suicide by not being honest about
what it is.
I think that you should have that conversation directly and openly so that people who feel
that way don't feel shamed into not talking about it and instead get help.
Because if you call it anything else, if you put shame around it, you put barricades up
around it, people who feel that way are likely going to be less likely to talk
about their problems and will instead hide it away until it consumes them. So
call it what it is. It's suicide. Don't obfuscate that. That's it. And I think
that the only people I've ever heard talk about that are people like George
Carlin. That's it, you know. Yeah. You're just terrible about talking about suicide.
Advertisers drive that. You get demonetized if you talk about it.
That's scary of me. Advertisers should not be able to determine language in that way.
I think that gets a little bit dicey. Yeah.
Ms. Robin Williams? Same. Robin Williams, phenomenal. My favorite film that it was in
is in a movie called What Dreams May Come. Fantastic movie.
If you liked Expedition 33, you may like What Dreams May Come, for a very specific
scene.
I actually brought it up when I was interviewing the devs of Expedition 33, because it's just
phenomenal.
Is that the sad one?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a masterpiece.
Did someone explode with wine?
No.
It's a lot more interesting than that.
You still have the DVD? Phenomenal.
Actually fantastic.
Yeah, I have it somewhere.
Think of it on Blu-ray.
Why not?
Might be on original DVD.
Yeah.
Talking about it brings it to light, the issues.
If anything gets it out of your brain for a minute, yeah.
It was a favorite dream of a movie. It was. No, it super was.
Oh, oh, there we go.
If you don't talk about it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. True.
How about debuff combination synergies? Oh, they're always, they're always going to synergize
the way that they are, right?
Oh!
Well,
let's unban you on yourself.
Yeah.
Thank you, hit a landmine.
Try not to hit said landmine in the future.
Ever see the movie I saw, the TV glow? Never heard of it.
You have no idea how many people have many times people come into chat and that's their
only message.
Yeah, that's that's why that's there.
That's a Heimdall bomb.
If you know the Ozzy Goonbag, have you seen the king sized one?
No.
No, I haven't.
What is that one?
What landmine?
Don't worry about it.
That was a channel landmine, that's a Heimdall landmine.
That's a landmine that I placed.
But they kegsized wine bags?
That's crazy, dude.
Kegsized wine bag.
What does that even mean, dude?
That's crazy.
No, it's super crazy.
And yeah, Apollo, if you don't like
What I'm doing with Heartbound, you don't like the updates I've been doing, just refund it, man.
Nice stuff at the, you know, not every game is for everybody.
It means Aussie Pirate Wasted.
How, how wasted?
Hey, how do you carry that?
Does it come in a box?
Like, how do they...
...egg-sized...
...winebag...
...Australia?
I need to see this bro what?
Is this the world's largest goon bag?
Is this just a giant meme?
I'll surely explain yourself.
Why did you put this on a beach?
No, it's not AI. It looks like it was a stunt.
It's just full of air, but it's quite funny.
Yep.
It just makes me laugh. It's like enormous, dude.
Seems like a lawsuit was filed yesterday against Intrepid Studios.
Pradecky et al vs Intrepid Studios.
Uh, do you have a link for it?
Mayor Hardware?
I can see the link, don't worry.
Yeah.
The only link you have is this.
Uh, let me grab that and we'll see what it is.
I'll grab this back over here.
So I'm interested to see what this is because it's not a class action.
It's an individual lawsuit.
What is the complaint?
It's a civil cover sheet complaining against Intrepid Studios filing for $405 receipt
number summons issued counsel receiving this notice electronically should print the summons
and serve it in accordance with rule four.
That's kind of interesting.
Docket last updated four hours ago.
Parties.
All right.
All right.
Interesting.
You and I, you know what I found out that's really interesting?
So on their affiliate program, they're like link program that they have for signups, like
their referral link.
They used to show the amount of money that was owed to the content creator on that page
and they would list out every single transaction that any of their referrals had done.
And then sometime between 2019 and 2021, they deleted all of this from the website and
only show the number of referrals that you got. And they never put it back up.
That's kind of weird to do, right?
A little bit strange.
Yeah.
and
what is this Google search
due this is just given me a billion
, what this is
this this is something to do with Uber the U-length men
Now, that seems to be something separate.
The one that we're looking at is Brebecky at all, versus Trepid Studios.
The one that you've linked is a totally different case.
That's to do with Uber.
Yeah.
That lawsuit is employees suing the company?
Really?
An individual employee?
Is that what it is?
Same case number?
Yeah, but doing a Google search that is giving incorrect information.
It's going to something else.
Yeah, it's got two plaintiffs, Jacob Bredecki and Zachary Strange.
Look at the calls.
I don't even know where I can see that. I don't know how to read this shit.
Let me find this.
It's a lucky design, Doc.
I guess I can go and look inside of this.
It wants me to start a 14-day free trial to see the Docs, man.
No.
Yeah, no. It's not happening.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
Oh, so the Warn Act.
Yeah, I'm not giving you money.
No.
No.
Don't look at the docs, but the main page.
Yes, it says Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
So it's under the Warn Act.
It's my guess.
My guess for this, I don't actually know, is it's labor litigation specifically because
because they haven't been paid and under the Warn Act they have to be paid for the next 60 days.
And they haven't been paid and it's the 6th of the month.
So they're suing for their wages.
That would be my guess.
And they are owed those wages and it is their right to have those wages.
So this will gain the eye of California state law.
And then the House of Cards comes tumbling down.
Good.
That would be my guess for this.
Yeah, they'll win. They'll straight up win.
What is this? Hope you don't let ASC get to you. You have a lot of support. Oh no,
I'm not letting it get to me. I'm mostly mad for the employees at this point.
You know, can the IRS get involved too? They're gonna have to. They're probably gonna audit the
entire structure. The IRS goes, hmm, money, money, money, money, money, right? And then they smell
around and they go, wait a minute. What do you been doing over there with all that money?
You owe some of that money to the federal government. It's time to pay up. Time to pay.
And then they'll go after him and they'll look into it.
The state of California is going to do the same thing because the state of California is going to be like, you're not paying your employees, then you've got to pay me.
You've got to pay me, right?
Yeah, basically they interpret a set on a very large piece of cheese and the government is sending the rats.
That's how it goes, yeah.
Yeah.
You're saying money made me realize Mr. Crab should have been a lawyer?
True.
I love that rat anim.
So that's why they created the 500 new items for crafting to sell the assets.
Dude, I'm going to tell you right now it definitely wasn't for gameplay.
Like that shit made no sense.
no sense space warlord baby trading simulator is that also like space warlord
organ trading simulator not the same shit is it the same company doing that
it is
Roscoe underscore Montana with 500 bits said my German Shepherd Odin passed away
yesterday. 9 years old still behaved very much like a big puppy
Oh, suddenly became very unwell the vet found he had internal bleeding caused by cancer that had already spread too far to do anything about
We made the decision to say goodbye and he slipped away quietly in the evening surrounded by the people he loved
Don't want to be a downer on anyone, but go hug your furry friends. You don't know when the last time will be
I'm sorry to hear that man, but that sucks a lot it really does
Yeah, there's no good way around that.
There isn't always sad to lose one.
Interesting December 2025 lawsuit against Intrepid.
Yeah, there's a lot of lawsuits going on there.
Yeah.
Like a lot of them, so.
That's more about actually seeing the other side of the argument.
Well, if you want to discuss it, Apollo, just ask away, man.
I'll tell you everything that I'm doing. I mean, I update it every month.
I'm actually going to be updating it today,
because I want to update it once a week until we get all of the Animus combat scene done.
I'm mostly just waiting on Shay to do arc for this scene right now.
finish some cool shit today so she should have that done it's wiggly and show it to you
here uh downloads
so we have
Where is it? Where is the wiggliness?
You get to open it? There we go.
It's wiggly. You can see it. It wiggles.
Which is cool. But everything is frame by frame animation.
So we have to do six frames of animation for every interaction.
For all of that, for every character. Works out really nice though.
though, it looks good. Yeah. And that one has two other animations
that need to be with it. It needs to have the static animation
like that, a charge up animation where it's gaining power and
then a shooting a laser animation. I've already got the
system blocked out for it. It feels fine. Also, I wasted a
bunch of time today because I was I was doing something in the
combat system where I was like, I want to change from lore
running for this combat scene to lore being along the bottom and
like switching back and forth. And I spent like four hours
trying to redesign the whole fight around that.
And then it sucked ass.
Like it actually felt really, really goddamn bad.
So then I just reverted back to our GitHub.
Just deleted all of my work.
I was like, nope, this is all ass.
This feels terrible.
And I just deleted it all.
So that was my day today.
It was great.
It was great.
Yep, it happens sometimes.
Like you get a cool idea, you try it out.
It seems cool on paper.
and then it sucks.
Like, what are you gonna do?
I like the little sprite animation who made that.
Shadows, shaders are animation for game.
I do the programming, writing and design.
Signed as music and sound effects.
But like, I don't know,
sometimes you spend a whole day implementing something
you think is gonna be so cool.
And then you play it and you're like,
this is objectively worse than the last implementation
I had thrown away.
You know, and like, that's just, that's how it is.
Welcome to Game Dev.
Because unlike software development, it's not about does it work?
Is it efficient?
It's about does it work?
Is it efficient?
And is it fun?
And that last one, that last one is hard.
You know, sucks.
That is what it is.
Can we see the way we're in?
Sure, man.
Get it up in this video.
You there you go.
It wiggles.
It's going.
Yeah, it's part of it.
All kinds of stuff for that too.
I think the biggest thing to me is I have on this fight, I have this song where like,
let me actually grab this song real quick.
It's my favorite song in the whole game.
It's this one.
Right?
This one?
But I want you to listen to this part.
And then here.
So you know how that plays two different instruments, but it's the same song.
That's based on which character is currently out at the time.
So I have them hide behind the arena and pop out and it shifts the song one direction or
the other with the different instruments as they go.
And then when they both pop out, it plays both of them at the same time.
And it changes the whole combat based on who is currently in power.
You can go play it right now.
It's actually already in the game as of the last update.
And I, I feel really good about it.
I had had that in my head as an idea for years of like, that was going to be the
end of animus. That's how we were going to do that fight.
And I never got to experience it until this last week.
And then when I got it in the game, I was like,
this is exactly the way I expected it to be. It was so freaking awesome.
I was freaking out. I was like, tell them, I was like, Oh my God,
this is the coolest thing I've ever met.
Cause it works out like perfectly. Like it does exactly what I wanted it to be.
Because like during the crescendo, like during the really big moments, and it swaps instruments,
it's just seamless.
And it feels phenomenal.
Are you a musician?
No, I'm dog shit at music.
But the implementation for this, I designed how that was going to play out, and I told
Stein what I wanted from them, and Stein sent me the tracks, and then I put it in the
game.
And if it doesn't quite fit, I go, hey, Stein, the emotion isn't right, or, like, I literally
go to Stein like a caveman with a stick and a stone, and I go, I need sad.
not make sad. Why not make sad? And then Sam goes, I got you. And then like make something magical,
right? Like, that's kind of how that goes. Because I don't know shit about making music,
but I just explained that to them, you know, and it worked, you know, like the idea for this is
like, I think it's gonna be really cool to like transition between these and have like a baseline
track and then have like an A side and I guess a base here and a side and a B side and then
transition between those and it worked out really nicely. And I'm quite happy with that.
I mean, you say I conveyed it well, to me, it's just systems design, right? Like there's no,
like I don't understand the musical theory behind it, but I understand the systems design of like
swapping back and forth to evoke an emotional reaction in a player of like, you know, when
you're making a game and you want it to evoke like a feeling, you have to do audio effects,
you have to do visual effects, there's all these different types of things you have to do to make
them feel a certain way. And I was hoping this would do that. And it did, it did beyond my wildest
dreams of like how that could possibly feel. And when I finally got to play it
myself, I was like,
Like the moment I got it, it was funny too. Cause the moment I got the first
transition, it was like, shake it in here.
I like ran into the room and was like, you got to get up here and she's like,
I'm doing something. I was like, no, you're not, you have to see this.
And then like brought her up and then had a huge, she's like, oh shit, that's
cool. Yeah. So like it worked out really well. And that was, that was last week.
You know, so technical aspect is hard to juggle. It's great. Yeah.
That's my whole thing is the technical side, right?
Like that's why I'm the designer, right?
So I do programming, I do writing, I do design.
I'm not that great of a writer.
You know, it's just not that good at it.
I'm way better as a systems designer
and implementation for all this.
But like with writing, like I'm,
I don't know, it's my first game I've ever written, right?
Farrakham seems to be frozen.
I'll go fix that.
Yeah.
Here we are back.
And a bag.
Streaming needs more axolotls?
Well, you're in luck, because those two bosses, they were talking about are axolotls, so like...
Yeah.
like you know the effect the music gives you and you want to make it where you get what you want.
Yes, that's exactly it. Like I think the biggest thing for me is I don't know how to make the music
that way and Stein does and I can go to Stein and I go, I need this to make me sad. I need this
to make me anxious. I need this to feel like I'm being watched. I need it to, I need it to feel
like I'm in a position of weakness or a position of strength. Like I can just explain the emotional
state that I need that scene to work with. And I could tell Stein all of the characters
that are in the scene. I'll give Stein sometimes the script for like the dialogue that's going
on with that. And I basically give give them the most amount of information I can and go
because to me, music in a video game is about emotional state for the player. It is the way
to set the setting kind of in the mind in an emotional way more than anything else.
that is the importance of it, right? It is it is the easiest way to set an emotional setting to
player. You want to make them cry, you give them music that makes them cry, you want to make them
happy, you give them music that makes them happy, you want to make them anxious, you give them music
that makes them anxious, right? And like the the most magical thing that you can do, I find as a
game developer, is to put control of that in the hands of the player, so that when they perform an
action, the thing on screen changes and the music changes based on their movement or their choice or
anything like that. And the only other time I've ever seen that I could I could do that is when you
when you have the joke be told by the player to themselves, which is also a difficult thing. I
think I did that once in heartbound. But like, that's usually what I shoot for is to make the player
have an emotional state from music, and try to put the control of that scene into the hand of the
players that they they're experiencing it to themselves rather than the game spamming them with
it. Right? It's not easy to do. And sometimes it doesn't work out. Right? You know, I like it when
games do that. I try to do that. But like it doesn't, you know, like sometimes it's shit. Like,
I think the worst one that I ever had, the worst one that I ever had with that was I tried to make
this dark maze to show that like players are lost, like the main character is lost and you feel lost
and you feel alone and all this kind of stuff. And like, I did that and players immediately
saying that I had only put in the game to extend playtime and then they wouldn't be able to refund
on Steam. They were just enraged by this. And I was like, all right, well, I guess I won't do that
again. And so I deleted it. And I completely, I totally scrapped it, made a totally new scene,
and people really liked it. Right. So I was like, well, I tried to do something that felt cool
from an emotional storyline telling standpoint,
and it just didn't hit right.
So that shit happens all the time.
You know, like sometimes that just feels like crap.
Sometimes it doesn't feel good, you know?
Like, so you gotta find a way to make it
so that you're trying to tell a story
from an emotional setting,
and it still has to impact the player in the same way.
And sometimes that just doesn't work, you know?
Like, I tried to do a whole thing yesterday
when I changed the whole combat scene
to make it feel better and it just felt like shit.
Well, I mean, Abyssus maybe didn't, you know, that's up to you.
And maybe by the end you wish he did.
Don't worry about it.
Ugh.
I'm going to change that to critical damage, there we go.
Expedition 33 had some captivating music, it did, it did, very, very good.
Regardless whether the community likes it or not, you use it as good feedback.
Yeah, I mean like the other thing too is like my litmus test for that is if I go through
the scene and I don't feel an emotional reaction then I'm probably doing it wrong, right?
it's got to work on me even though I wrote the damn thing. So like there's a lot of scenes in there
that like make me feel shitty, you know, like I'll feel like an emotional reaction through it. I go,
okay, if I'm doing it to the effect that I can look at this a hundred times in a day.
And it makes when I play through it for real after working out of the whole time.
And I still feel something from it that I know I did it right. I just move on.
You know, I just, I don't touch it anymore. It's done. Right. Bar once demonstrated that he put on
on an epic music track to describe how each serial, just to show the effect of music.
Oh yeah, no music sets the scene entirely.
It is the easiest way to get your audience into an emotional state out of anything when
you're making games, in anything at all, that the music sets the tone, no matter what.
Like you could put a really happy scene on screen, right?
Very happy, bright colors, smiling characters.
And you put it with kind of music that has a little bit something off.
It's nice and happy music, but maybe it glitches every once in a while.
Or maybe it's got kind of like whispering in the background.
And that scene of happiness immediately turns into horror.
Just immediately, right?
With just little changes like that in the audio.
Like audio really more than anything else sets the scene.
The visuals are secondary, I think, to the music.
A lot of the times
Kind of the current 4chan post got you grim that channel
That's what enemies do very well. They're often. Yeah, I mean like I learned it from watching movies man
Like that's that's where I got that from because my dad's a giant movie nerd
And then he made me watch a bunch of movies and I was like the music is really that sets it
Sympathetic resonance is that what that shit's called. I have no idea. I just know music making you feel thing, you know
If you put sad music over a happy scene, it becomes a melancholic memory. It does. Yes. If you put sad music over a happy scene, it feels like they're remembering something from the past entirely. So there's something that they they think back on fondly, but maybe painfully, right?
Yeah. And I think that's, that's the kind of stuff. It's, it's a little bit of, you know, wiggliness. It's, it's weird because like, how do we know to associate that with a specific emotion? Why does that work so widespread? What trained us to feel that way? And I don't have the answer to that. I don't know why certain songs or certain instruments make you feel certain ways.
ways, but it seems to be universal in the way that it works.
It does not, it seems to be cross boundary between different cultures,
which is very interesting.
And it makes me wonder if there's something deeper there of just kind of like,
how human beings work, you know, vibrations are physical. They are,
it's got to be something like that.
It's like an instinctual thing at a certain point. It's fascinating,
incredibly fascinating. And I don't have the answers there.
I just know that if you make music in a particular way,
you can make someone sad.
We'll make them feel something.
Music is magic, real true.
The word change is a dark God's gift to mankind.
I don't think it's a gift.
I think that channels the curse, bud.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, we could do, we could do Path of Exile at 6am.
It's currently 441am.
I want to get through these.
I'm almost done with them.
It's really important for me to document all this stuff.
So not only can I delete these text files, but also we have a,
a statement of record for all of our design philosophy for the game.
It's important to make your design doc.
Entirely so.
Music is the closest thing we have to magic.
I think magic is.
Maybe you're a secret musician subconsciously.
No, like...
I've tried to play music in the past.
I'm just shit at it. I've tried like I've tried to do it. I've tried to play instruments
My hands get all
shitty like they I can't control them correctly when I'm doing that and I don't know why because I can type fine
but like with an instrument I can't do that and
Something about it just doesn't work. I don't know what it is
But I've tried I've tried many times it might be training it might be maybe I could train myself to get better at it
but it
It just doesn't ever feel right.
Does that make sense?
It's a rhythm, could be.
Could be internal rhythm.
Fingers going on?
Well, I mean, that one's the palm of my hand.
So like,
I cut the end of my finger off when I was a little kid
and they replaced it with that part of my hand.
No shit.
So like that, that one's out, you know?
Can't feel anything on the end of that, you know?
Of course it doesn't feel right.
You've never done it before.
I mean, I guess, right?
Can it was easy?
If you can type, you'd imagine.
I don't know, maybe.
I got pretty long reach on my fingers.
I can reach all the way across the keyboard.
So for that helps with piano,
but also where the hell am I gonna fit a piano, right?
You something like FL Studio, you can learn music theory.
You could probably compose, draw for the MIDI.
Honestly, I think if it was gonna make music,
probably be many music
and it would likely just be very math-based, right?
I don't know, music's supposed to be math-based,
but like, I don't know.
What was the ARC news from the dev?
None of them have been paid.
They've received three emails from the new board and all of them have been AI generated and the, um,
the notice, let me grab this so you can get this correct.
Where is this?
The notice that they received for their termination letter has been removed from the HR app.
So some of them can't even apply for unemployment properly because they no longer have a, um, a termination letter,
which is insane.
You think you'd probably enjoy modular synth.
My favorite music actually, for any instruments or any type of stuff is actually electro swing.
I really enjoy electro swing because it's like retro futurism as a music, right?
And chip tunes.
I like both of those a whole lot.
Huge amount actually.
So stuff like Anamariguchi and Goldfish and like a lot of stuff, a lot of different stuff in that realm.
Even stuff like, what the hell's the name of them?
I have to go pull them up.
Um, I think it's called dragon bump.
I remember the whole name of the men.
Yeah.
Kevin Palace is one of them.
There's a bunch of like really weird obscure ones that I can't remember the
name of now that pop up in my musical though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like there's a shitload of them in my, my playlist.
So yeah.
You can watch this creator.
She makes, creates music using code.
That's cool.
I'm down with that.
I'd love to do that because like that's pair of sellers really good too. There's a kind of like the standard ones for sure
But um, I don't know. I think the biggest thing for me is i'm kind of dog shit at that. So I hired stein right trash 80. Yeah
Yeah
That's sick trash 80 is really good
Even even down to like weird stuff
There's like here. Let me just go pull up some of my playlist stuff
I have a playlist. I think it's called work
I also have weird stuff in there like electro swing
like, here's my work playlist. I have coalescence by Chris to do
photo Lulu from risk of rain. I don't even know how to say
the name step cat. Stateless. You've got how to suck them
maybe think that that song is hilarious. World of Saved, all
of electric six. Yon Tiersen because I love Yon Tiersen's
was it accordion accordion? Yon Tiersen makes the accordion
sound like a $50 instrument. It's wild. Like it is, it is like
I got priceless instrument with the on-tears in.
Electric six hilarious.
I got to see electric six in theater,
or not in theater, in a show.
They were up on stage, it was wild.
It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Electric six was super weird.
They were very high.
Very much so on stage, but like Chris, Chris Toodulu.
Yeah, it's wild.
But then you've got, yeah, there's Dragonbump
from Desert Planet.
Desert Planet's really weird.
Anamanaguchi, Tipper, Lukash, Disasterpiece, DJ Kuppen.
There's a lot of weird shit in here and it just kind of goes.
I've got a bunch of that and like from radio, the mood,
ultra tour stuff, mind spirals, mind spirals is like repetition songs.
When I need to zone out while I'm working on something.
So you got like Regis and your logo, labyrinth, guns and ammunition,
some stuff from living tombstone.
I use music to get myself into a state when I'm working so that I can just
work on the thing, whatever the thing is.
So when I'm off-stream, I'm basically just listening to the same music over and over again infinitely
Sing electric six live in a few months. You're super high. Are they still doing stuff?
You share your playlist. I really haven't I think it's the most I've ever
Serious sometimes I'll link them on discord when I'm listening to them
But I guess I could do that. It's making a public one. I'll see why not
Is I do some public playlist here? Let me uh, let me just grab that and then give you a link
It's weird because I think this one only has 20, yes only got 27 songs. How do I link this shit, dude?
Bro, I have no idea. Invite collaborators. No, download, no.
Where's my link? I just want to call for your link to my playlist, please.
Share it. Copy link to playlist. There you go. You can have it. It's yours now.
Now you too can have my weird playlist of bullshit that I listen to and I'll give you my work one too
Which has three hundred no forty three songs in that one three hundred saves
The link it out before yeah, you know we get up
I've got like lots of playlists for like a lot of different reasons
But um like this eldritch horror one has a hundred and eighty songs in it. It's got stuff like tally hall lemon demon
lingo boingo
Jack Staubers micropop
jukebox, the ghost, mild high club.
There's a lot of weird shit in here.
I don't know.
I like weird music.
There's, there's a couple of different things that I like.
I like story music, which is interesting because that's kind of rare.
That's fun.
Like labyrinth is good story music.
And then I like electro swing is kind of fun, right?
And then I like chip tunes, which is kind of like nothing.
That's just sounds, right?
Have you played the Eldritch Horror board game?
Which one?
There's so many.
Do you have an electric swing playlist? No, I just mix it in my other shit. Because you have to remember
that's why I named them things like work and the mood and mind spirals and elder tour because it's
specific things
that those songs make me feel away.
So I put it in the playlist of songs that make me feel that way, right?
I organize them by emotional reaction, right?
Let me some jukebox the ghost. Yeah, they're awesome. Dude. That's awesome shit
I've never seen them live. I saw on a Monoguchi live once that was neat. I saw six
electric six live and I saw
What is his name? Why is my brain drawing a blank? I
Can't remember his goddamn name. He was the home alone kid
Yeah, the pizza band
What the hell is his name? It's in there. I know it's in there
Macaulay, Macaulay Culkin, you got it. Yes, Macaulay Culkin's band. So I saw his band, and that's like, oh, and then I think it was...
Yeah, the most amazing stage show I've ever seen was Flaming Lips, and I got to see Flaming Lips in this massive auditorium, and it was insane.
It was the most insane thing I'd ever seen and we were listening to Yoshime like that whole song like that set of songs and
The visuals were crazy dude. It was the most insane thing I'd ever seen
I've never seen anything like that since so that was the only big one that I've ever seen and then everything else was like small
small studio kind of stuff
You say one go bang was a venue like yeah, oh, yeah
Yeah, hell yeah
Macaulay Culkin is real weird. Yeah
You fell asleep during a like a show really
That's wild war never really got into it though
Danny Elfman's a god of ice man agreed super agree with that. Yeah
Tally Hall is awesome
They used to watch tally hall when they were a weird internet video group and then they became like a band
Which was... weird.
Heh heh heh heh.
And then their music changed a lot.
And then it became like more emotional.
And then they split up and they do their own shit now.
Yeah.
Yeah, they used to just be like weird internet videos.
Extreme downtown Oklahoma.
Called Flaming Lips Alley.
Where all the food carts and bar doors are and stuff. That's kinda cool.
No, I've heard of gore, but I've just never been into it is what I said. I know what gore is. Yeah
Durandurand
Thanks a lot pirate. That's really awesome anytime in like you'll notice. It's really easy to sidetrack me
I'll talk about anything forever, you know
I know some of the original gore band members step where they would just school them. No shit. That's cool. That's super cool
Hell yeah, man.
That's red.
The ruler of everything makes me feel very unique, right?
Yeah, Tully Hall's good shit.
Already Cosmo Sheldrake? Yes.
Oh yeah, in fact, I think I have...
Let me see if I can pull this out.
I think I have, yeah, the moss.
You know the song, the moss?
I have that one in my playlist, because it's really good.
Uh, Cosmo Sheldrake.
Very unique voice.
Phenomenal feeling. Yeah
How about Apex Twin? Yeah
Okay, so Apex Twin I really like because they used to hide images in the spectrogram of their songs
Which I thought was phenomenal. Steam Power Giraffe is good. Yeah, they're weird, but I liked them
You be a teacher this talks about football the whole lesson if someone mentions it. Yeah, it's a problem. Maybe it's not
You love music talk. I'm not like
Like the thing is is I found the kind of music that I really like and then I just I ran with it, you know
Steve Pirajaraff is good
We're gonna wait
Waiting in the ads
I'm trying to find if I can find any of this one band.
I think it's under the mood.
Step cat is really good.
You can get into like kind of really obscure shit like world's end girlfriend.
That's a good one.
That's a good band.
Fodder is a good band. Emerson Brophy is a good band. It's a bunch of weird bands. Fever
the Ghost is great. Yeah, they're really good. I think they're a lot more mainstream now
because the YouTube videos popped off. Those animated music videos for Fever the Ghost were
just insanely well received. They blew up. I thought you listened to the Heartbound
soundtrack in free time as well since I was here when watching your stream no it
helps me a lot when I'm streaming actually I need something that's the
same consistency everybody gonna synth wave never did no like her song never
even heard of them
I have to check them out.
Yeah.
Yeah, the moss by Cosmo Guitar is number five on my the mood list.
the flowbosses in here. I have so much shit in here.
Actually, here's a weird shot. I like the mystery skulls, but I think only like a couple of their
songs. Mystery skulls is actually really good. It's got a really good like thump to it, which is
nice. Yeah. So like that worked out really nice. Yeah, they're really good.
Fake type is really good. That's on my list.
Big Nick.
Boss Fight. She. Zircon.
Lukash. Infinity Shred.
I have a lot of bands in here. Vampire Weekend. Oh, Vampire Weekend is
so old. That's ancient. I haven't listened to Vampire Weekend
forever. I need to listen to this playlist again. Disaster
piece too. Disaster piece is good shit. And Chipsil also good shit. And Anamana Gucci
also good shit. Yeah, fake type. Yeah, some of these bands are bands that I haven't thought
about for years. Yeah, fake type is cool shit, dude. They make a lot of really weird music
and I like it a lot. It's gonna go fine. Yeah, we got a fake type. They had like an entire
set when was the last time they released something they still doing shit I don't
know if they are
they have music videos and stuff now fake type is so weird looks like 2023 was
the last album no wait wait they released something in 2024 put the wrong

It's very funny.
Big type of new one a few months ago on YouTube?
That's kind of cool.
I'm gonna have to check them out.
I'm gonna have to check it out again because like fake types good shit, and I haven't heard their stuff in a long time
It looks like it's not on Spotify yet
But usually what I do
Is because I've been listening the same kind of music for so long is I'll go to discover weekly
And I'll just play my discover weekly and anyone that I like to just pull it out. Oh, Igor. Yes
Yes, there's a I have one song by them in one of my playlists. They're fantastic
Which which album that I sent her work
Egor is really good. What the hell song did I put in there? Also sister sisters. I can't decide
it's fantastic. Moon Hooch. Moon Hooch is good. Hypersstory is good. Where the hell is my Egor
song. Is that in the mood? I know it's in here. I know it's in here. Tiding. Tiding deep in
might be in mind spirals. I know you're in here.
Oh, I forgot. Mega Neco as well. Mega Neco is really, really good if you like that kind of music.
And, um, that's some spooky stuff is from them. It's fantastic.
Igor's so good at playing the album on and non-stop.
It's, there's one that's really, really good with that.
And I can't find it in here and I don't know where it lives.
I don't know where it lives. It's in here. It's hiding.
Hmm.
It's also like Saint Motel is really good shit. That's good.
It's gotta be in here. I know it is.
It's a very specific song from them.
I don't remember the hell it is.
I will find this.
I'm invested now to find where my Igor song is because they are very good.
It might be my light from radio.
I have so many songs in these lists.
It's probably going to be there.
Jim Guthrie.
I haven't even looked in that for a while.
It's hiding somewhere I don't know where.
I don't know where it is.
I don't remember what the song was.
There's also one that talks about, the hell was it, I think it's on my work playlist.
There's a good story song that's in there that I listen to on repeat a lot.
It's about Venus.
I can't remember the name of the song.
It's the man from Venus.
I know Venus Ambassador by Brian Scarry.
That's a great song.
It's a phenomenal song.
Venus Ambassador.
Yeah.
That's a weird one.
I like that weird one.
Yeah.
Got any freelance whales on your playlist?
What do you mean freelance whales?
I don't know the term.
I don't know, I think a lot of the music that I've listened to over the years is either really obscure, or was obscure once, right?
Like there's a lot of that kind of stuff in there.
Like you've probably never heard of Moon Hooch.
Would be my guess.
Oh, if you mean the band Freelance Wales, then I have no idea. I've never heard of them.
Or like a shell in the pit.
You probably never heard of them.
A little bit weird, right?
You've listened to everything I've said, my man.
Okay, what about the album?
Massive luxury overdose from Army of Lovers.
What about that one?
Have you ever heard of that one?
Because that's a weird one.
It's the song Crucified.
That's the only song of theirs that I like, too.
The rest of them I just don't like.
Ugh.
Thunder Cat has some good ones.
Hell yeah.
I've not heard of them.
first story is super well done.
So much weird shit in here.
What about dance with the dead?
Ooh, actually, this one's pretty common, but carpenter brute is really good as well.
A lot of wild music there.
Just completely wild.
And I love it.
It's really good shit.
Yeah.
Thundergat is the man.
Never heard of Thundergat.
to check them out. Yeah. Yeah, I have to check them out. Love
Carpenter Brute. Yeah. Carpenter Brute is good shit.
Correspondence. There's a there's a song they have called
inexplicable. The correspondence, which I really,
really like, because it's a story song that talks about
belief. And I thought it was really fantastic. And
explicable is really good. So you've never heard that song
from the correspondence. You should really listen to it. Yeah, it's a good story song.
It's a brutal story song, too. It's really brutal, like painful to listen to. But I think
that's a, it's good sometimes. It's a good one. Yeah.
Thunder can't mention. Yeah, I'm gonna have to check them out. You love to answer the
And then, nice.
I'm trying to find the rest of these.
So much, oh, this is actually one that's wild,
is like a, there's a tiny band that I really like.
They kind of exist on Twitter.
Let me see if they're still on Twitter.
They have one song that I really, really enjoy.
Yeah, they're still, are they still on Twitter?
They might not be on Twitter anymore.
Oh, no, they may be gone from Twitter.
They may only be on the Facebook now.
Dude, I think they're actually gone from Twitter.
Damn, well that sucks.
But they're called Crunk Witch.
And they have a song called The Battle Beyond.
All of the rest of their music is kinda to me,
but The Battle Beyond is amazing
And their band is called Crunk Witch, which is insane.
Like, it's just an incredible name.
I just love that song so much.
So if you haven't heard of them,
maybe you'll find something that you like, right?
I like that song.
That'll be on.
I need to see if they've done anything since.
I think they only have one album.
I might be wrong.
No, they've done albums since they released one in 2025.
I have to listen to that.
It's weird.
It's definitely weird.
The Crunk Witch is cool.
Crunk Witch is cool and weird.
Yeah, looks like they have a bunch of albums. Sick. One, two, three, four albums, five albums,
and then one single. Crunkwich. It's good. They're on Bandcamp. Listen to them. They're
super fun. At least that song is super fun. I haven't found another one that I really
liked, but the Battle Beyond, funnily enough, Battle Beyond looks like it's the most popular
song with 700,000 plays, and the second highest one only is 100,000. So like, seems pretty
well received, comparatively, yeah. Yeah. Battle Beyond is on, it is on Spotify, yeah.
Buddy Danza taps, tap dance it's Ravaganza, still the best name out of any band ever.
I mean, that's pretty good. I have to agree. Yeah.
Have you heard of an artist called Mawukis? No. I've never heard of them. Looks like Mogwai.
Yeah
Lullaby of the manifold. No, that name is sick
Sleepy time gorilla museum. Okay. Okay, you just making shit up now. What do you mean sleepy time gorilla museum?
What does that even mean weirdo with a cello?
3481 with ten dollars said is there a proper term for a cheap laptop that only has team viewer and parsec for the purpose of getting
Work done on the go without bringing my main machine with me
Sounds like a potato, yeah, I mean that's cool, right?
Critical fishing chants
I think we should call it critical angling I think we should call this something else
I think all of our stats should be two names, not three, right?
Like Earth Damage, Divine Favor, Devil's Dew, like this should be named something else.
Now it's a chance, it's a chance that when you fish up a fish you get two different fish
instead of one.
That's a critical fishing chance, Dustin, it's very rare.
Yeah.
I think you should call it critical fishing for the internable.
What do you call it for the display name?
I just don't know.
Double fish.
Lucky Angler.
OK, I like that.
Yep, we can call it lucky catch.
Angler's blessing.
Piscitorial trick shooting.
OK.
ridiculous dude. Blessing of the pescatarian. Right? Like sushi surprise. I really do like
sushi surprise. Call it J Wilson. Call it Spartacus. Beside him's blessing. That's
kind of cool Neptune's bounty that's kind of cool getting fishy okay guardian angle
that is the shittiest that is that is by far the shittiest one and the best at the same time
what do you mean guardian angle god damn it dude that makes you want to make it a whole new stat
that is just like protecting your fishing rod and calling it the guardian angler or some
Oh shit. God damn it, dude.
That's insane.
This one doesn't work for that.
It's not protecting you, but that is getting kept.
That's insane.
God damn it.
Guardian angle.
Double blowfish.
What do we call this?
Was stopping you was the question.
Nothing's stopping me.
My own sense of self-righteousness, maybe, a little bit.
the last fleeting feeling of self-respect
that I may be throwing out the window currently.
That's wild, dude.
Blessed guardian angle, all right.
Perfect bait.
Perfect bait.
Damage reduction while fishing?
No, it's not damage reduction while fishing.
Fishing puns are geometry puns.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm glad to see that the collective progression of Chad is reduced to a high school boy.
Good.
A cute angler that'd have to make you look better when you're fishing.
That's how that works.
master.
I'm too sangler.
You have to talk about things that no one understands.
Only when you're fishing.
Like every time you throw a line, it has to, you have to bring up something.
Automatically, your character will just start talking about it.
Guardian angle reduces the first incoming attack to zero damage while fishing, okay.
That could be a talent.
That could unironically be a talent.
However, it needs to have a long cooldown because I know you.
You'll do some weird shit where you pull a boss to an area where you can somehow fish.
fishing between every single attack the boss does to take it perfectly. I'm on to you. I know you.
So it has to have some massive, massive burden to it in terms of like maybe a full minute cool
down or some shit. It's gotta be. Yeah, I know you. I know the God. But I do like the idea of
guardian angle. That's pretty funny, dude. Be really funny. So we'll do that 10 minute cooldown.
that's a long cooldown. That's a long cooldown. Split casting. I like split cast. That's kind
of cool. Split catch. I kind of, so I've been thinking about this a lot. You know, on path of
exile, you get the massive talent tree. I was thinking that every profession should have a talent
tree. And that talent tree should be, you can choose different things to go down different
directions for understanding or for improving the talent, for improving the profession. So as
you gain levels, you gain talent points in it, which I thought would be cool, you know, maybe
a legendary fishing run. Well, I mean, that could be something later. Yeah. And one of the things
that I wanted to do was to make it so that we can have items give you talent points in things.
I always really enjoyed that. Like this gives plus one to all fishing talents.
Or maybe this gives one plus one to guardian angle, right?
I thought that'd be really neat to do is to add stuff like that down the road
So my intention is for professions that have talents in some way. Do you think it'd be neat?
Yeah, D2 plus talents are great. I really enjoy that. I really do and I think it it adds a lot to the game. Yeah
Love inter connected talent trees in Mandragora. What is that? I don't know what that is
Right? Fishing builds incoming? Yeah, they'd be the idea. It's like maybe you can go more to
faster fishing or more to like lucky fishing or more to like critical fishing catch. Like
there should be different ways you can build fishing. I also want it to be like you can now
use lava fishing rods and poison fishing rods, you know, things like that stuff where you can
equip new items because you talented into it. And now you can have a special kind of fishing rod
that works that way, you know, and they could be neat using rods to bring
enemies closer. Yeah, yeah. Why don't you just critical catch? I guess I could do
critical catch, but it's a little bit boring, you know. It's a little boring.
Anyway, I'm gonna use the bathroom. I'll be right back. It's gonna be a minute. So, one
sec. Why is there a Roblox tab at the top of Twitch? Because Twitch wants money and
they don't want to pay actual content creators for sponsoring that, so they
just put it as a banner across the entire website because of some kind of
partnership they made, where no content creators actually getting a cut of the
pie. That's why Roblox is there. Neat. To be real with you, I don't want to support
Roblox, and I definitely don't want to advertise it, and I have no choice in the
matter. Thanks, Twitch.
I have returned, all righty, Mr. News and Ashes.
Yeah, I mean we talked about it, we talked about it a bit, but basically I've been talking to some of the devs that we know on the team.
And one of them let me know that they haven't been paid still.
And the termination letter that was in their HR app has now been removed, so they can't even apply for unemployment correctly.
And there have been three emails from the board and all of them are AI generated with no legal backing saying weird shit.
And they hope that the courts pull them apart.
It's bad, dude.
Like it's really, really bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
the fishers price on no
what if the fishers price is that you get a massive boost to like fishing skill but it costs you coin every time you cast
like what if it's that who could have seen this not coming I'm gonna be rude
with you nobody man like anybody who who acts like they could have seen this
depth of depravity coming is just like honestly they're just being outrageous
about it is like this is so wild and so awful to the employees involved like
That's terrible.
He's a known MLM scammer, what do you mean?
Yeah, but there are laws in place to protect employees, man.
They're operating out of California.
They had 250 employees to be like, to sit there on like your soapbox high and mighty
and decide, I knew everything that was going to happen.
You're basically telling all of those people that just lost their jobs and are being abused
by employees that they're idiots.
And I think it's kind of a shit place to be, man.
I think it's a shit way to act.
So like, maybe think about it, right?
Filled with rage and disappointment,
the first line team asked if they can do password resets
with only a date of birth, eww.
Yeah.
Like at that point, you're blaming the victim
for the acts of Stephen Sharif,
and you really shouldn't be doing that.
Like, burn him to the ground in the courts.
That's how that should go.
Yeah.
It's cognitive bias, making bombastic claim with no evidence.
Years later it turns out to be actually right and semastict.
I knew it all along.
Yeah, exactly.
It's that.
It's just like a shit way to be to those people, dude.
Yeah.
The joint lawsuit will happen. I'm hoping so. Somebody's got to do it though. Yeah. We're
trying to make a stand for the artist. No, we're not even doing that. To be honest with
you, I'm screwed. I'm not gonna give you my money back, right? And I think that the biggest
issue with this is that you have a shitload of employees that are now in a state, you
that's based in California. They're not being paid. They don't have the documentation they need
to apply for unemployment because they pulled the termination letter and they're getting AI
generated Corpo shit from this board being sent to them. If you have no humanity at all,
you're probably sitting there high and mighty thinking, I do it all along. But if you really
look at this situation and see that these people are legitimately being abused, there's workers
right now, none of that shit matters. Your sense of entitlement is irrelevant. The reality
of this situation is that is 250 people's livelihoods being stripped away from them.
Who gives a shit about how you feel empowered by knowing in advance that it was all a scam?
That shit's irrelevant right now. And I think it's, it's kind of shit to feel that way, dude.
Like if that's your main takeaway from this, like, calm down, you know?
They need a paper to look for a new job, they need it for unemployment, man. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. That was the other thing is we played it for years, so...
Never imagined we'd be this bad, none of us did.
your favorite chair you call Neptune's Winnebago bro what
they're basically stuck working there hoping to get a paycheck no they're under the warn act
which means that they're supposed to be paid for the next 60 days before they're let go
none of them have gotten paid it's the 6th of the month they're supposed to be paid and none of
of them have, which is in violation of California law and federal law. So like you have the
state being wronged, you have the federal government being wronged, and now you have
all of these employees stuck in limbo, you know, and I get the idea of a bunch of arm
chair theorists being like, patch myself on the back shit, but like, dude, look at the
situation and realize that that's not appropriate right now. But the war and actors 90 days,
It's supposed to be 60. Yeah. 60 days of pay, federal level.
So like without a new leadership, a setting a generated garbage,
it's just become sloppers. It is. Yeah. And I think it's just super,
super negative. By the way, just typical. Your message isn't deleted.
It's just got a link so it gets auto removed. It'll be in the queue. Yeah.
It's a quote from a movie maker. Did some short stories about Larry
Blam Blamire. I don't know who that is. I don't feel like I know it.
So was there actually a board was just Steven or any company nobody knows nobody knows anything yet
Like all we know is that this appears to be planned
Many months in advance
They tried to rip off steam
They tried to rip off the players and they ripped off their employees and to be real with you
I hope everyone involved in planning and executing on this burns
I hope they do in the court of law not on social media not on Twitter posts
Not on angry Facebook posts, not on slack-to-vism bullshit, in a court of law.
I hope this absolutely annihilates them, and that's it, right?
I don't give a shit about any of the social justice shit around this.
I care about the idea that you have a company that has done this,
and I hope that the law catches up to them entirely so.
Even if nobody ever gets their pound of flesh as a result,
I hope they get to rot in prison for it,
is that they violated federal and state law to do this.
Estina shoot any refunds yet?
They started to do so.
You have to, there's a very specific phrase
that you have to do.
I think we put it up in the actual Pirates Discord.
If you're trying to get a refund,
we have to talk to Chronos about putting it out there.
But basically the idea is you explain to Steam
that you were misled by the game director
lied about the corporate structure of the company
and it led you to want to buy the game through Steam
and because they lied, the company is now collapsed
and you would like a refund
because it was misrepresented to you as a consumer.
And if you put that in your Steam request,
they will give you your money back.
Serious called Tales from the Pub,
which is Twilight Zone parody,
that's kind of funny, I'm down with that.
Yeah, that's really all it is,
is you just have to talk to Steam,
you have to send in an actual report,
not just give me my money back and let them know.
Cause they misled you as a consumer.
They misled me as a consumer.
You know, I'm like, that's not great.
That's real shit.
You please have that pinned?
No, I'd rather have the conversation with people
cause they think it's more of a personal thing.
If I just pin it up there and people go,
oh, the pin come and I was new thing.
I don't think that makes sense.
Yeah, there's no guarantee you should get your money back.
Though a lot of people have so far.
But like, I think, I think I'd rather have
the conversation about it.
and I think it's more important to do that. Also, gamers don't look up. True.
The fact that they went back and read of the combat for the ground up to improve it was really
one thing that showed we want this to be a real game. I think there were a lot of employees that
wanted it to be a real game. And I think that Stephen likely wanted it to be a real game for a
long time. And then one day decided to cut, you know, cut bait and run is really what it feels
like, whatever the hell he did, whatever drove him to do that, that's, I don't know why that happened.
Right. The combat was actually quite good. It was, but something happened from about
April of 2025 onwards, where everything started to turn to shit. Because around January to March,
it was great. Game was awesome. Super fun. Right. You know,
And I think that that's really, really important to understand. Also, ZK, I have to report that one sec.
There we go. He ran out of money. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I think you could have a lot of
conjecture about it, you can make a lot of assumptions, but none of us actually
know. We don't know any of it.
The only things that we do know is that he transferred the ownership of his
home to his partner days before we know that he left in
protest of a board that never should have existed.
He took investment when he claimed to everybody that he'd never taken
investment. Like there's,
there's so many dominoes here that are just too clean.
Yeah, I hope they go after him and I hope they go after everyone associated.
I hope the state actually does its job.
I hope the federal government actually does his job.
Do we know where the guy's at?
No, but I'm hoping they've made him a flight risk because if he escapes the country with
all of that money and everything that he's done, they're never getting him back.
I hope they've actually done anything, you know.
Every time you're talking about ashes of creation.
I hope they throw the whole goddamn library at him.
Wait, he disappeared.
He's never posted since all the posts that you've seen as Stephen
have been people impersonating him on on Discord to try and create drama.
He hasn't said a word since.
Like he's full radio silent, dude.
Like...
Give a spaghetti a meat sauce recipe?
No?
Not really. I'd probably look that up to make one.
Likely using vodka.
Dude, maybe he did, Slim Reaper.
Vod can meet us?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You poor soul, it's fine.
Yeah, it's fine.
No, I don't think I will, Linkdodge.
See ya.
Most people use wine, but you do.
I have a fuck.
Maybe some of the shallow grave rolling out, dude.
I mean, like the thing is, is I think the internet gets more caught up in the story
of something than they do in the reality of it.
And the reality of the situation right now is nothing matters except for making it right
for these employees right now.
Make it right for the employees, make it right for the customers, right?
Customers are likely never going to get it right, literally ever because of the fact
that they waited until two days after they got paid from Steam.
Steam is likely going to have to make a business decision,
but whether or not they keep paying out refunds,
because they're going to be refunding at a loss,
which is a big deal for Steam because they paid out.
And Steam pays out on the 26th to 30th of every month,
which means that they paid Intrepid in,
at least they likely paid Intrepid based on the normal business practices
for December on January 26th to 30th,
which is everything from December 11th onward.
And then Intrepid immediately said,
oh, we're blowing it all up and I'm leaving
right after the payment period would have gone through.
So like,
you've heard Steam withheld the money
because Karen changed her business bank account.
There is no way any other human being could know
that unless they were Karen Borreco. So anyone who's spreading that either is giving away
financial information from a Steam customer illegally or they're full of shit. Like, this
is why I hate this rumor mill shit. People just make shit up and then it spreads across
the internet. There's no way anyone could know that literally at all. Like, God, it's
wild dude. Yeah, it's just it's completely wild. When it takes on helping build block it, I can't
afford more in plays right now. Do you know you could just say things? Yeah, but no one should
believe it. When you just say things like this. God damn it, dude.
Like you actually have to back it up with something, you know.
Yeah, I'll take bullshit for 100 exactly, dude.
I know Nash is a creation. Get him, you stupid!
So that AOC News was in the announcement? Yeah, we talked about it. It's basically the employees
haven't been paid still. And they're getting a lot of weird bullshit and stopping them from
getting, you know, they're not getting paid. They can't really apply for employment. Everything
is gone to shit. Yeah, it's not good.
Nick, you want to be specific? What do you think I'm full of shit on?
Earth or is an AI transmitting a stream from the future? And each time he crashes because
of lunar flares? That's probably true. But unfortunately people will buy into it without
researching more. Exactly. That's the problem, man.
Why can't they apply for unemployment? So I was talking to one of the devs, we've talked
into the entire time throughout all development process.
And he said that they've pulled away the termination letter
from the HR app, so some of us can't even apply
for unemployment properly, which is a terrifying thing, dude.
Because you need the termination letter
so that you can apply for unemployment,
like this is granted by my employer.
But if they pulled that out of the HR app,
some of these guys won't have a copy of it,
they won't be able to prove unemployment that way.
Which means they're stuck in limbo, not being paid,
even though they legally have to be through the Warn Act
and also can't apply for unemployment at the same time.
It's gig illegal.
It's like the most illegal.
Like that's insane.
So like, uh, yeah, there needs to be governments got to get involved.
State and federal at that point.
Yep.
Can't they just report it to the police?
Yeah.
I mean, the thing is, is they could, they could report it to the labor board in
California.
So the state labor board is where they would go from that.
and they would file a, they'd file a complaint with the state. The state would then look into it.
But that could take weeks. They're shit of luck until that man. Like they can't get into the
system until an investigation goes on from the state. So these guys are boned. Like straight up bone.
Could they share the letter amongst each other? I don't know if there's like some kind of constraint
that they have to have it addressed to them in some way or whatever. We don't know.
But like, because I've never gone through that process.
The only thing I know is if they have that, they need to report it to the state.
And that's all they can do, you know, that's, that's it.
You report the state, you report the federal, the federal one, they're going to have to
get lawyers involved and they're reported.
I think maybe it's the IRS.
I don't know what the Warren Act is under.
There's got to be some kind of like federal labor board that they have to go through.
But California's labor board is very easy to access.
You do it right through the internet.
So you can make complaints that way. You can actually call into them. So
yeah, you make complaints that way, which is a big deal. And I think if all of them did it,
it'd be a huge thing. Better Business Bureau. The BBB will be like, we're going to sanction them
and save it. They now have an F rating. Oh, like better Business Bureau ain't gonna do shit for
that, dude. Like they need to go to the state. Yeah, the BBB is straight abuses. US Department of
of labor, that would be my guess.
I don't really know at the federal level.
I know for the state level,
I'm very used to the state level
because I have to deal with state labor laws all the time
for basically everything.
Like I have to do that for all of our employees
in every state that they live in.
I have to like have an open account
with their local labor, you know, level for their state.
Sometimes for their county, depending on what county they're in.
It's a wild sanctioning company that doesn't exist anymore.
It seems priceless.
Yeah, it's having a sanction.
It's more like a,
We're telling everyone not to do business with you,
even though they can't.
Yeah.
Warn Act is directly enforced
by the US district courts and private lawsuits.
Really?
I don't know anything about that world, dude.
Like none, literally none.
So like, this is all wild to me,
but at the same time,
like I know there's supposed to be checks and balances here.
Like it's supposed to, they're supposed to be protected.
And it looks like that protection just comes too late.
It comes way too late.
It's very slow.
government's slow, you know, it's kind of how it goes.
But your remark on your permanent record,
that nobody reads exactly.
You need to show your termination
was through no fault of your own.
It's unemployment insurance against things
out of your control.
Most employers still phrase it in any way
that makes it acceptable, well, it makes sense.
Yeah, government is intentionally slow,
methodical and intentional.
Sometimes you need speed though.
and situations like this
just like the VA
VA is rough, dude
get your benefits if you're in
if you're out
I think we're gonna call it critical catch
Yeah, I'm gonna call him critical, gosh.
Yeah, it sucks to deal with. Yeah. Yeah.
I talked about it before, but I had a buddy who was active military service, and he came back with a lot of problems.
And when he was leaving the military, they said that he was not eligible for VA benefits.
And being a good soldier, he just listened to that.
And he didn't find out he was eligible for VA benefits until over a decade later.
It was over a decade.
And then he found out and they started treating him and paying for his medical bills and everything like that. Yeah
So if you are leaving the military
Talk to the VA and let them know who you are what you did and get your benefits. You are owed those
You are owed those and you was that retroactive? No, they went on from there
Terrible that is what it is. There's a whole whole bunch of shit that he has to go through now, and I don't know I
I don't know all those hoops he has to jump through, but at that moment it was just from
that moment onward.
And I think it's, yeah, it takes a lot of work on the soldier's part to get your benefits.
I know.
I only know that not from personal experience, but from watching my friend go through it.
And it was not cool.
Yeah.
Which is terrible to watch.
I think, I think veterans need to be treated better overall.
And I think that the VA could use some restructuring in that way, but that gets into politics.
and
and
I
Was the last thing you cut your hair 2016 man, I don't really cut my hair dude
It's all that advocating for proper and fair treatment is considered policy of these days.
Well, it's not the proper and fair treatment.
It's the getting into governmental change that turns into politics very rapidly.
You know, that's what that is.
and
Yeah, I tried donating my hair when I did it and it did not work out.
They wrapped it up in a set of rubber bands and they did the thing when they grabbed it
like that and then they cut it, right?
And when they cut it, it was like all kind of like first they wash it and do all this
kind of stuff and then they put it up in rubber bands and they cut it off.
And when they did that, the rubber bands didn't hold because my hair is really fine and it
I just went all over the floor and it was like, well, that's gone.
That's it.
Oh, so it was the only time I ever cut my hair, you know, in the last 10 years.
Yeah, the hair came alive and escaped.
Yeah.
It was, it was pretty grim, dude.
It's just pretty grim.
Scammed that I should.
Yeah, I was like, well, I guess that's it.
Where you want to start in debt, where do you begin?
Go to develop.games, which is a website that I built for you.
And it's free.
There's no bullshit, there's no paywalls, there's no crap.
I don't like the idea of putting paywalls
in front of knowledge, right?
So go read through all of this.
This is really helpful.
If you want to see like where to start,
go to picking a genre and choose the game design document.
You can go into that.
And you can see an example of an existing game design document
from one of the games that won one of our game jams one year,
right?
From there, good or discord, which is discord.gg slash pirate software.
And inside of that, at the very top of the discord, there's going to be a channel
up there for you called channels and roles.
So go pull this up and choose the game dev role.
Then go down to the game dev section.
Now that you can see it, you won't see all these channels.
You'll just see the one that you chose and open that up and then look at
stuff like game dev resources, go read through all of these, bunch of free resources
for you there, and then like a bunch of channels for you to talk to other game
devs and get better at the craft, right?
And that's that's the whole idea. We also run game gems twice a year. The last one just ended. I'm going through all of the game
Jam games right now. So it's a lot of shit to go through.
But yeah, I hope that helps my whole idea with the community is to try and put together as much
Like in terms of resources for you to get shit for free and like learn stuff, you know
Yeah

Why are you like this?
You can be any other way.
You can be any other way.
You're a weirdo.
Welcome to the internet, my dude.
Everybody's a weirdo.
I've been telling you otherwise, I'm selling you something.
Do I call this damage reduction physical and magical?
Or do we do damage reduction defense physical and magical?
Defense physical.
Defense magical.
and
These damage taken based on the mitigation calculation reduces physical damage taken.
of
Yeah.
and
when I left one of the brakes earlier to the

There we go.
Noita, love watching the gameplay.
Noita's super fun, man.
I don't know if I want to call this damage reduction.
Hmm.
There are mines that should have noithos saved in your wishlist, hell yeah dude.
and
You know, now Jeff, we're chillin'.
Exactly.
JN2O said what do you think of this system for social sandbox moes?
Sure.
Choose a part of your subscription, like a dollar or two each month, and support your
guild or an individual who would get that money as real pay.
Making building and running a massive community a real job without IMT.
That leads to money laundering immediately.
That's a cool idea, but that would never work.
That would just immediately turn into money laundering, unfortunately.
Hello, low level!
By the way, low level?
I was in the middle of something the other day and I didn't see red and I'm sorry about
that.
Thank you to red the other day.
It's a cool idea though. It is a cool idea. In practice, people abuse it. Or binary bot
transmission posts. Posting hell livers too. I'll be doing all I am. I am. We're going
through statistics. I'll show you this in just a moment. Once Lord Bloxos gets the hell
out of off of my screen. We're talking about ashes of creation earlier and I'm working
on block game shoot at the same time. Yeah, get out of here, Jeff says. Yeah. What are
What are you talking about? S4? You just vague post thing, dude.
All right, adds you over. So yeah, basically what I've been going through today is just
grabbing all of the statistics that we're bringing over from block game Minecraft, reformatting
these into something else, and then putting them all up in her design document. So we've
got everything for our town design document now. I've got everything for player stats,
where I'm still going through these. I've got all our status effects in the full red
up for how status effects work. The gathering system, the crafting system for both three
style and template based crafting, gear balance and how gear balance needs to work, the class
fantasy for each one of the classes, economics will come later. But this is all the stuff
that I'm putting together. And we've been putting stuff into high tail for like weeks now. And I've
got a very good understanding of the asset editor and like building things out through it. We're
starting to build tooling that is actually functional. We've got a lot of stuff that actually
works in game, which is cool. Spell effects, you know, being able to do localization passes and
and stuff like this that all functions and looks good.
Even building like custom effects and like,
like things like this where it's warping around the objects
as you hold it and you place it on the ground,
like custom sound effects like that
and actually having it do that.
And then I'm midnight actually having it glow
and give off lighting effects.
Or even when you hit it, it does special effects like that,
which if I could break in this area
would actually do like different stuff for that.
But that's the idea is like,
like getting all this stuff set up for buckets
so that I could just figure it out later.
You can see a lot of them are over here.
We're just being able to build those out.
I actually have like glowing effects and things like that.
And then stuff like this,
whoop whoop whoop with the whale.
It's a whale.
Yeah. And that's sort of the idea is to try
and go through and build a bunch of prototypes so that we can have a full mastery of the tooling.
And then after that, just port, you know, the Omega Whale. Yes. Yes.
I believe the wig is wearing Thor at this point. I have no idea what my hair looks like right now.
And at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.
Yeah, it's basically what I've been doing for the last, like, two weeks.
Like, you're gonna want...
But the design doc is coming along quite well and we need to get all the player stats listed now.
Yeah, I don't think this should be all damage reduction. It should be like all defense.
Do we think this should be called damage reduction?
Because they're going to have all damage reduction, fall, PvE, PvP, fire, frost, wind, earth, and curse.
So a lot of them, right? So we have to have a name that is the same across them all.
If we call it defense, defense is a rating that goes into a calculation, which is not
going to be the same.
And that calculation is this, which is incoming damage times 1 minus defense divided by defense
plus 200, which means that 200 defense that equals 50% damage reduction.
We call it Omni. Omni?
What does it even mean?
No, I don't mean, I don't mean like the word all.
I mean, the token for damage reduction.
It actually names it as.
All mitigation.
Oh, we could call that mitigation.
Yeah.
I like that. Yeah, all mitigation, full mitigation, fire mitigation. Yeah.
Speaking of sound effects, who knows the blue jay call when mining rocks? In what?
Fixed values mitigation if it's by percentage reduction. Yeah, you're right.
Actually a good deep in that. Defense is a flat value. Mitigation is the percentage derived from
that flat value. Reduction is a percentage on its own.
So I would say this would be a mitigation or a reduction
Because mitigation is the is the value derived from that and there's no rating for this
So there's no like flat defense rating, right?
Yeah, I
Have no idea what that is. It's um Adam Adaminsky no clue
Going deeper is your favorite to call this
I'm gonna call it all mitigation yeah I think it's fun
I
So he rejects you to use the bit goal.
Yeah, I'm gonna put in a ticket with Twitch and find out what the hell is going on.
It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
Omni all things, so Omni.mit would be mitigation all forms of damage.
Yeah, I'm not worried about this like defense all makes sense internally. I'm worried about how to display this to the player. I think all
Works I think omni might be better omni mitigation. That's kind of fun. I think it's a little bit more fun for that
Very cool Chris not an airport. Thanks bud. See you around
Omni mitigation. I think works the best in that because it seems cooler than all right
So I think that does work. I think I'll use that have it as a zone stat
Yeah, we'll do that. Omni, fall, PV, PvP, fire, frost, wind, earth, and curse. Yeah.
Weird hearing your name so much. Omni Omni Omni Omni Omni Omni.
Yeah. Yeah, Adaminsky, I don't know what you think about that game, dude. I've never heard
of it. Yeah, Omni is like universal, right? Yeah.
I can't wait for that.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
You need someone famous to cover what?
What?
I'm sure it's going to arrive next week.
Nice, dude.
You think it would be a day when you say what number?
I wouldn't say another at all.
Are the ferrets today? Good. Very good.
Yeah. No Adaminsky, I've already forgotten the name of the video game. Say it again.
Because I can then go look it up, right?
Do not beg post. Tell me of this game. I swear to God.
I mean it's sitting at mixed reviews on Steam and launched in February, it used to be $20
console and sale for $2 and it's now $10 and consistently on sale for one.
That's a bit weird, right? Makes me wonder what the hell's going on there. It officially
launched today?
I'd like to know more about the game, but I'd like to understand why it's got such a
negative rep. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know anything about it.
Seem suspicious. It's 10 bucks, man low risk. Yeah, but I like my 10 bucks. So I'd like to
to find out more before I buy it, right?
I like to look into the company.
I'd like to understand what they're doing
because I'd be buying into an MMO if it's not finished.
Sound familiar?
So I think I'm gonna look into it a little bit more
before I decide.
How much did you spend on AOC?
Exactly why I wanna look into this a little bit more.
In fact, I think that the fact that you're trying
to encourage me to buy it without looking into it
Looks way more suspicious to me, and now I'm gonna dig into it even more.
What's the matter with you?
Stop that shit, that's really weird.
That's weird!
You've made me even more suspicious.
Just let me look into it, and I'll let you know.
Don't be weird about it.
See the reviews?
They're mixed right now.
I'll be honest with you, I usually don't trust reviews.
I want to look at it.
I want to find out more about it.
I want to look at the dev team and understand what's going on there and why there's negative
reviews.
It's not, it's not good to just discount native views.
You need to find out the reasoning behind it.
And I'd like to understand the reasoning.
If I look at this, a lot of them coincided with them
getting a very large amount of positive reviews
at the same time.
And most of the negative views happen
in the very, very early days of the game.
Very early days.
Like it opened to very negative.
Like very negative.
They'd open to 807 positive and 1600 negative dude.
So like, but that was back in January, 2025.
So like, maybe they cooked from then.
I don't know.
And I'd like to find out.
And I want to find out what the history of it is
and what the direction of the game is
and like understand all of that shit before I'm interested
because to be real with you,
I just want to play a video game.
I don't have to think about all that shit.
If I can look at it, it makes sense, then great, you know?
Yeah.
What are we talking about?
A video game.
All right, these defenses are in place.
Now, I have finished many of these now.
Fuck, I've been a bad day.
We have so many of these stats now.
You can go look at my list.
Um, I don't think there's really that many left.
We've got resistances that are still in there.
So that's the thing resistances and speed and experience stats and skill stats.
This could be a lot.
Yeah.
Our wizard 101.
Maybe you've heard of it.
What?
Is this become like a meme lately?
Why is wizard 101 suddenly popular again?
I'm gonna look to see if you're one guy in me if you're the one who brings up wizard 101.
It's not even just you.
Why are there so many?
Why are there so many?
They added it to steam.
I swear to God.
It's every, I'm getting, dude, I'm getting multi-guide.
There's so much wizard 101 talk now.
Wizard 101 cured your baldness.
I'm going to make you bald in Wizard101.
I'm going to make you bald in it. I'm going to do it.
I'll find a way.
I'm going to re-bald you.
I'm out here re-balding people. That's what's going to happen, dude.
I don't know what was it 101 is but it's the best thing ever, god damn it, I gave the
goblins another deploy.
It's a mistake dude.
Where's Valdo 0194 with 500 bits said hey hope you're having good day.
I am.
Goblin. God damn it.
and
I'm basically, I will eventually be overcome by our powerful German audience wanting me
to play factorial.
Eventually they'll start like sending pieces of the factory to my home or some shit.
Like it's the factory's going to have to grow eventually.
And I know that it's mostly the German audience because right when it's peak, like German
operating hours, that is directly when we get the most amount of references to factorial
in the chat.
Like I'm on to you.
I know that it's you, and know what it is.
I know it.
There's also Danish people now, we found.
There's a lot of Danish people, and a lot of Germans.
And they all want me to play factory game.
Come on, dear.
What do you mean factorial 101?
Cursed ass meme is this.
What does that even mean, dude?
I heard there was AOC news this morning that I missed.
Obviously, I heard there was AOC news this morning that I missed.
Yeah, there is.
And, um, it's pretty disappointing, but we've been talking to a developer
that we've known for the game for a long time.
Um, and they said the following quotes, they said, they got another
email from quote, the board, this is the third one.
All of them are AI written with no legal backing saying weird crap.
This is such a shit show.
And they also said that they pulled away the termination letter from our HR app, so some of us can't even apply for unemployment properly.
And none of us have been paid anything still.
We're six days into the month.
It's rough, man. It's really, really bad.
Yeah.
Also on the CA government website, it actually shows that they're doing the Warnact for 123
employees, but they had over 200. So we don't know if that was a bunch of contractors or what.
No idea. All that sounds highly illegal. It is. It's both federally and state illegal.
Not paying your employees is a pretty big deal. And not paying them during a Warnact is pretty
big as well. The federal and state governments are going to have to step in is what's going to
have to happen there. Yeah. Yeah.
Looks like Steven is going to jail soon. I think Steven's done everything he can to try and avoid
that. And I hope he goes anyway. Yeah, I hope that the shell game comes to a conclusion where
where everyone involved who knew goes to jail.
It'd be fantastic.
Yeah.
Or gets fined so hard that they wish they were in jail.
Stephen sold his house.
As far as I have heard,
Stephen sold his house to his partner
to make it so that it was no longer in his name
so that he wouldn't have personal liability
for upcoming lawsuits.
That's the claim.
And that's pretty outrageous if so.
There's proof of Steven's wrongdoing?
Yes, he lied directly.
The existence of a board means that Steven lied
to all of the consumers.
People bought the game under the basis
that Steven was the sole investor
and that there were no other investors,
no one to steer the ship outside of him,
that there'd be no bullshit or corporate crap in the way
to steer the ship in the wrong direction.
He lied about that.
And then there was a board, and the board took control away from him.
So he resigned in protest.
He lied.
He lied to consumers, and they bought a product based on his lie.
Misleading consumers is a very big deal, and that's what he's done.
So.
Yep.
So the lie comes down to two pieces.
or he lied about their being a board, which is silly,
or he lied about getting investors, which is silly.
Either way, he lied.
There's like no outcome in which Stephen
isn't a goddamn liar.
And that's up for the courts to figure out which one.
Yeah.
There's no secret third thing here.
He just, he lied entirely.
Yeah.
If you're in a boilerplate we can use, I have not.
You should read it, you should write it yourself, legitimately, and just explain what's happened
to you as a customer.
Steven the Ashes guy, yes.
You miss the good old town yards when people had rotten veggies thrown at them?
My friend, if you were having rotten veggies thrown at you, that's because they were getting
ready to kill you in the town square.
They don't just throw veggies at you and give you a pass.
They do that and then they cut off your head.
Public shaming should return my man's never been on Twitter.
Melancholy for a time that never existed.
It's a great free show to the main show.
My man sat at the, my man sat at the gladiatorial arena, frothing at the mouth, you know, terrifying
behavior, my dude.
Not every time I did it with a beheading, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes it's a lot more brutal.
terrifying throughout history, man. Yeah, the way that I feel about it is I don't care about social
justice. I don't care about people shitting and farting all over Twitter and crying on Facebook.
I care about law. And I hope that they have legal problems because of this. And I hope that the
legal system takes their pound of flesh, not call out posts on social media, because that
That shit is worthless.
Does not solve a goddamn thing.
Look at late, would you miss about A or C?
Employee self-invited paid.
Yeah, employee self-invited paid, the board is sending AI generated emails and a lot of
them are having trouble applying for unemployment because the employer has rescinded their firing
notice.
I hope they have legal problems, bingo, the board.
I need to make some omelets today, too, man.
I made a bunch of steak today.
I'm really happy about it.
Yeah.
I'm gonna show you guys my my steak, steak creation time.
Meat, meat, meat.
So, my grandmother sent me a bunch of weird steaks and plastic bags, so I did this with
them.
I took them and I covered them in seasonings.
And what I did was I did onion powder, garlic powder, do this onion powder, garlic powder,
sun-dried tomato, mustard powder, what else, Worcestershire sauce, Maggi, cumin, you say
garlic powder, garlic powder, a lot of seasonings, mix it all together, coated it all in all
that cooked it on medium and then it came out looking like a paste almost.
I'll show you the paste on this.
So then I took that.
It's all like nice and browned, right?
I took that with the paste sloths, like sauce in there, and then put that into
the fridge in a big silver bowl.
And I've been taking spoonfuls of this and taking hamburger buns and
toasting the hamburger bun, putting it in there with a piece of cheese and
just eating it.
and it's great. It's fantastic tasting. Delicious every possible way. Yeah, delicious, delicious.
Toss in the fried rice, totally good that way. I think I might do like day old fried rice and then
like put that in there, like cut it up real, real tiny pieces and then um and then like put that in
my day old fried rice should be good. Yeah, so Uncle Roger doesn't like rapidly approach my location
and murder me. How do you make your own hamburger buns? I actually don't make my own hamburger
buns. I get these like, because I find hamburger buns to be kind of insufferable to make a lot
of the times. And I like onion buns. So I get these like soft onion buns that they're like,
you know, little bits of onion on the top of them. It's nice. But five day old rice? No,
dude. No, day old rice, five day old rice. What is that? That's like fermenting. Jesus.
It's just steak meat, it's beef.
What is the highest value, lowest effort thing
you like to cook?
Literally what I just showed you.
That takes me like, I don't know.
It's like three minutes of prep, dude.
It's so easy, I just throw it in the pan
and it's like done, whatever, just leave it.
Actually, no, I'd say stew is probably easier.
Now I think about it.
It's the highest value, lowest effort thing
because I can chop everything up,
Throw it in the Instant Pot and leave.
And then two hours later,
I have like a perfect beef stew, you know?
Like that's good and really low effort.
I don't have to give a shit there.
Worst Chester Shire Sauce?
No, it's Wash Your Sister Sauce.
Get it right.
Ridiculous.
your uncle says that about it's pretty fun
and
the school of exp
the tokens to long
and
short of the much better
and coherent British flailing good
and
Almost done with it.
Nizalama with 500 bits said Yachia 100 Yachia 100 Yachia 100 Yachia 100 Yachia 100 Yachia
100 Hello Thor in chat.
So a couple months ago I told you about my colleague who had one of her hips replaced
because of her dysplasia, I just wanted to share that a week ago she had her other hip
rapals and she's doing great.
She now has to just rest, and she'll be running free like she never did in the summer.
I have a bionic dog now.
It's kinda cool, actually.
Bionic dog!
Bionic dog.
All right, we have all of the stats in here.
I'm going to link this over to Jake to see if there's some truth for this.
We did it.
So many stats!
I'm gonna use the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me. Yeah. Although that would only come out as barks.
is the bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Raise the omni side
Would it be like raise the omni barker or something like that the bark of sigh
There's got to be something in there right
Hmm.
Do you think that there's like, do you think that there's like, an emperor of mankind but
for dogs?
In an infinite universe there has to be, right?
The palm desire?
Okay.
Changed the litanies of the machine dog.
Wait, is Airbug the Emperor of Dogkind?
I believe.
I mean, he possessed powers beyond that of a mortal dog.
Right?
The Omnisheba?
You want this anger Cheros? That's probably true. I feel like that's
probably true. Wait, who isn't here for Cheros?
Who is not here for Cheros? Who knows nothing of Cheros? Me? Alright, hold up.
I have something to show you, it's up to Gwild.
I have a head cannon for Warhammer 40k and you can't tell me this is false, basically
we keep feeding the Golden Throne souls every day, eventually the Emperor is going to wither
away and the chair will become the next Chaos God.
Chairs will appear in the corner of every room, corners will be outlawed by the Imperium
as a result.
This is a manifestation of Charros, standing desks only.
Charros will become a supreme, he's a new chaos god, and Winky will be the harbinger
of Charros.
That's right, he's going to be like his primary acolyte.
Also Charros' servants are called Charobim, which is hilarious.
There's no stopping it now, it's just real.
I've willed it into reality. Everyone worships the chair.
Like you have to think about this, right?
They don't just think about Big E.
They think about the chair that is keeping him alive.
All of that emotional turmoil, all of that emotional tie to the chair.
Well, it consumes souls, births,
chair-o's. That's why it will ascend
as a new chaos God,
forming within the warp.
Charros will rise.
You know it in your heart to be true.
You know it in your butt to be true.
You will sit.
And it will gain power for each who sits.
I'm worshiping Charros right now.
I bet you are as well.
Heh.
Ugh.
I feel like it why some people get irrationally angry about whatever 40k headcanon.
Don't please be seated
It's too late now it's too late
Those dining tables you to make it come back. Hell yeah
Does he just turn you into a chair? No
He gains a small amount of power every time someone sits down
And for every minute that you sit down, he gains power from you sitting in a chair is an act of worship for chairs.
That's how it works. You may not even realize you're worshiping chairs, but you're so thankful to be sitting in that chair. Aren't you?
It's just taken such a load off of you, you know, you feel rested, maybe even supernaturally so.
So where would you where do you think that's coming from chat?
What do you think it is?
The chair can't really be that comfortable, can it?
No, no, that's got to be coming from somewhere.
That's Cheros.
That's Cheros leaking back into our reality and blessing you with his gifts.
That's true.
Yeah, maybe even pairs up with corn, you know, skulls for the skull thrown and all
that, you know, that's a chair technically.
I hate it. I can keep going. We can do this all day.
He's gone off the deep end. No. I'm finally seeing with my eyes wide open.
I know the source of chair-based comfort, and you will too, eventually.
You want a churro? God, churros sound really good.
You know the game Musical Chairs?
It's a sacrifice ritual.
The odd one out, gone forever.
All for Charros.
All for Charros.
Darmaka Jalata Tanagra, hell yeah.
Such a good episode.
This is why knowledge is heresy.
little bit of knowledge among friends, right? What's a little bit of knowledge?
What's the problem? We're just learning, you know?
Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Chat, somebody's calling. It's for you.
Some guy named Cheros.
He wants to ask you a couple of questions.
I shouldn't take a minute, you know.
Yeah.
The chair is the organism, we're just the hosts.
Answer the call, Chad.
That's chairface, gotta love the tick.
Seriously, that's what that is. Praise the man, whose mind is too small and narrow to learn.
Too small and narrow. May only the emperor fit within his mind.
I know 99% of you know where that's from. It's a character from the tick called Shareface.
He was a villain. The only thing he wanted was to write his name on the moon with a laser.
He wrote Chaw on the moon and then that's all he was able to do before the tick stopped
him and then for the rest of the entire series it said Chaw on the moon forever. Even when
the moon got like a big chunk taken out of it, it still said Chaw with a big chunk taken
Yeah, the moon in the take was very heavily abused.
The deeply hilarious dude.
Did you rewatch that show?
It's very funny.
The ticket's fantastic, man.
Bactoria's nice, but Alchemy Factory's my jam, Alchemy Factory.
A waltzing bingo with 500 bits said I went to a Till Lindemann concert.
Most amazing concert I've been to in my life.
But then I got a message from a dog sitting client of mine, literally at the end of the
concert saying their pup had died and they didn't need my services anymore.
I absolutely believe in the monkey's paw. That said, sending my clients a 3d printed
hue 4d image of their pup to immortalize him. We'll miss that little bugger.
That's a cool thing to do. I'm glad they called you there.
You know, it means you did a good job. That's rough, man.
them. What we do is for each, for each of the ferrets that passes with the rescue, we
do clay paw prints for every one of them. And we get them cremated, and they come back
in a box. So we have a box with their name, with their ashes, and we have paw prints that
have been, we bake the paw prints in the clay. So we have that for every one of them. Yeah,
for all of them. It's karma for supporting Lindemann for what? Couches? I think what,
Who's Lindemann? I don't know what that is.
Yeah. I was just thinking about the dog. Yeah.
And Dragon Ball Z Piccolo explodes the moon. Yeah, but Krillin explodes a couple of times and he comes back.
So, yeah.
Where she also explodes the moon, see? Exactly.
Moon never comes back on the artificial moons. Get a load of this guy believes the moon is
real. Like any Roblox ads? Twitch is doing some kind of a partnership with Roblox. I have no control of that. I don't support
Roblox. I don't think you should support Roblox. I think Roblox is a serious moderation issue. And I don't have any control
there. And I would rather it not be on my channel. But I don't get a choice. They're just running it site-wide. Twitch is just
making money, and no content creators are, nor do we have a decision.
cool
this is fine yeah
It's a little bit weird.
TinyBlock, Tim, what do you mean you hope you're not in the Epstein files?
My, my man?
I feel like you would know.
What is wrong with you?
That is, that is the wildest thing I've read on that, at all.
Yeah, the FNAF thing blew me away. That was a... I feel like Scott Cawthon is very unhappy about that.
I mean, I would be, right? That's a... Yeah. Wait, what? The FNAF thing? Okay, so Jeffrey Epstein,
in an email was showing other people in his workforce pornography of final life of five
nights at Freddy's characters. I wish I was lying to you posted from 4chan and those threads
are archives so you can go and see which ones he was but he was he was passing around five
nights at Freddy's porn dude which is like I just can't I know it's I'm not lying I'm
I'm not lying, and now it's a matter of public record that you can look up on a .gov website.
It's not a cool breakfast talk dude you wanted to know you wanted to know the
overlay is broken what overlay what are you talking about just overlay brick I
just haven't pressing the button enough Liz has said for what do you think of
Overwatch 2 dropping the 2 and returning to just overwatch also what do you
think of them giving a cat a jetpack has science gone too far I think the first
part of that is probably the smartest thing they've done with Overwatch since
Overwatch 1 turned Overwatch 2. Overwatch 2 was not a 2, it was not a new video game, it was an
expansion in the original game. It should have always just been called Overwatch. The idea of
changing it to Overwatch 2 was a mistake. That doesn't make any sense. I really hope that they
go back to the formula they had in Overwatch 1 in terms of player progression for rewards and in
terms of play style. The content was just better than the game. It made a lot of people quit,
because it was like somebody going in to an engine,
not knowing why the engine works
and then changing everything about it
and being like, what is nobody like the engine now?
It's very strange, strange movement, right?
Like the car is broken now because you fiddled with it.
You didn't know why it was running in the first place.
So I'm hoping that they revert a lot of the stupid shit.
You know, I really do.
The idea of having a cat with a jet pack,
That seems like emergency money fund to me. I may be wrong about that. It's a cute character, but it does seem like
Press the emergency money button, you know, like that's that's what that seems like because the moment you make a cute animal character
It's playable. You're just gonna get that, right?
Yeah, that's that's what that looks like at that point. So
It makes me wonder if it's gonna be that way
I'm gonna grab this.
There we go.
Yeah.
They're losing to rivals.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
You know.
I think the worst part about that dude getting banned like that was that guy has been here
since 2024, and he's been kind of like a normal, mostly normal human being until that.
Like some somewhere along the line, his brain just cracked. And then he got banned for that.
That's like the weirdest. I don't know, dude. It's wild. Yeah. Brain rot. That's like a level
above brown rot man. Like that's getting weird. You know? The gravels is just better IP in
general. I think Overwatch could be really good, and it was at one point. And I don't know what
they were thinking, but it just imploded, you know? Shadow Crushers said I made a thing. I made a
Magic the Gathering fan project at Discord bot, and I have gotten a lot of compliments of what it
can do and such, so I'm really happy for that. It's already on 17 Discord servers, I just hope
I hope it keeps growing.
Funny enough, it's called Otterly MTG.
Yes, I love Otters as well.
That's kinda cool, I dig that, man.
Good.
Make things.
The idea of playing a
otter magic of your gathering is what it sounds like.
I'd like to understand what you made.
Are Mechs just Cheros' way of adding shares
to war machines?
Yes, you'll notice Charros is influenced everywhere once you start looking.
Gamer chairs that make you a better gamer, right?
Why? Blessings of Charros.
Relaxation, the rocking chair.
It's more comfortable for the elderly.
Why? Blessings of Charros.
Every action needs a special chair.
Formula one racing chairs, blessing of Charros.
Makes them a better racer, doesn't it?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You can see the blessings of Cheros once you look.
Wheelchair allows those with the inability to move on their own
due to their legs, or lack thereof, to now move
If that's not a blessing, I don't know what it is.
Charrots.
Couches are superior?
What is a couch, but a long chair?
Snowescape?
You know it in your heart.
It's no escape, you know it in your heart to be true, you know it.
How many of you have prayed on the porcelain throne, Cheros?
I told you I could keep going with this.
The Emperor of Mankind sits in a chair.
Where do you think Cheros spawned in the beginning?
We all prayed to the Emperor of Mankind.
We know of his powers, his blessings, but we also know he's kept alive by the golden
throne that we feed so many souls to every day.
And as such, Cheros has emerged.
This is how it started.
Cheros is real now.
In Christ Jesus, all hail Cheros.
Use of bday, blessings of Cheros.
Beanbag Cher, a lesser avatar of Cheros.
But one just the same.
Restoring unique comforts.
A stool, do you sit upon it?
Do you gain comfort from its existence by sitting upon it?
Cherubs.
Nighty's Blockshare, yes. Yes.
Your chair sucks.
That chair has been unbound.
No longer tied to Cheros, you must find another.
If your chair sucks, you find no comfort in it.
It means that it's drifted away from the influence of Cheros.
A poor chair.
Yeah.
You music sick? Thanks.
This one is called, um, what was it?
Shhh, my brain did not.
It is... cave wave.
It's the cave road.
Herman Miller is the Church of Charros. You might be right. Your chair is falling apart.
That's because Charros' power has been infused to it for so long that it's starting to fray in this reality.
It's time to find another more proper receptacle for his blessings.
What about Charridog's deeply cursed also from Charros?
Tiny block Tim, I think you know the answer to that.
Yeah.
This is coming off the top of your head, yeah. The whole
cherished religion has been. Or has it?
Maybe it's something I've known as a deep-seated truth the whole time.
Did you catch that?
Where do truths lie, chat? Deep-seated truths.
Now you can see it.
The hints of Cheros everywhere you look.
There's no escape.
You can't boo me.
You can't boo me.
It's too light.
I'm too far gone.
nothing now. You are ridiculous. Yeah. This is what happens. It sounds like you've been
playing look outside that maybe a little bit probably just in my head.
I think it was all of you, actually, I think you did this, yeah, I think it is, he's put
this into one of your video games, maybe we'll let Cheros the harp on somewhere, it's a meme.
Yeah.
your chair we can make a yard chair we do your chairs you make us this way so
you only have yourself to blame I mean the chat reflects the streamer and the
streamer reflects the chat it's an or a boros of course really
You're a smirk. Oh, no.
God damn it, dude.
Just how it goes.
You're naming your first born Cheritholomio.
Hmm.
Blessed.
Blessed on your seating corners.
We have to come up with like a blessing.
What's the blessing of Cheritholomio?
Do you think like lumbar support is part of Cheros' grand plan?
Because it's like the best kind of chair.
Like lumbar support is like an advanced Cheros blessing.
Cushioning is part of it.
Like you ever think about a toilet seat and know that it's just like a solid piece of
wood or like a solid piece of porcelain that you sit on and it's comfortable?
That's got to be the blessing of Cheros.
Like that has to be at that point.
Cuz like you're just sitting on hard wood and it's like wow, this is actually comfortable. What what is that?
Charros, that's what it is. He knows
Yeah
That's true that you mentioned I know you'll start to see it you will
Respectfully recline no disrespectfully recline
The blessing of Cher... You know, everyone does know that charity is such a good thing to be a part of, right?
Charity.
He's in all things that are good.
Cheros.
Oh, Chervoyance, dude, he gives you Chervoyance.
You can see slightly into the future but only up into the point where you sit
down next. That's what it is. You can only see the next chair that you will be
sitting in. That's chairvoyance. Yes. Nothing else. Nothing in between just that
moment. The moment of sitting. It's true. I really don't like chair funds. They just don't sit well with me.
Okay. Very good.
Charros breath.
The piston new chair smites you. Oh,
that's terrible. That's the scariest thing to me.
That is actually the scariest death.
I hate it.
True Tygon said what do I do with all my points.
What you just did.
Filled with 500 bits said hope you're all having a good day.
I'm about to make it worse.
What did the doctor say to the man who swallowed a tiny airport?
I'm afraid it's terminal.
Anyway reminding everyone to look up Ugly Garfield, praise be his ugliness, Lord Brinjith
Lasagna and banishes thy Mondays, Amen.
Ugly Garfield.
What?
Oh.
That is, that is really ugly.
That is really, really ugly Garfield.
I'll show it to chat in a moment, waiting in the ads.
HeleButhic underscore Zernavoi said nice shirt bro.
Thanks, it's pretty good.
I have like two of them.
Kabooie Krebs said hello Thor, Goblinus Maximus and fellow goblins.
I'm here to harden my case that was previously dissolved too easily.
Have you noticed that people tend to stick to this stream?
Goblins here can feel a, bond forming.
These are clear marks that Thor worked with Sticky 7 and Big Glue as a bonding agent previously.
What? No!
Stick it to the Big Glue fellow goblins.
Yaw Glue.
I mean, yeah, totally go that direction.
That's definitely not the reason why there's nothing to do with old gods and magic in any way.
Just perish the sh- the thought is...
Nothing to do with that.
Definitely has to do with glue.
Definitely mundane materials, nothing as uteric at all.
No sacrifices, none of it.
Glad I can't believe you're on to me, I can't.
Man, that's, oh no, that's rough, really.
Yeah.
Mitsunari with 500 bits said Yachiya 100 Yachiya 100 Yachiya 100 Yachiya 100 Yachiya 100
Good day Mr. Sofa.
I bring to you today a manga recommendation.
The story goes like this.
Batman fights Joker, nothing new sofa, but then he falls into a chemical container and
turns into a baby.
After that Joker tries his hand at parenting the baby bat, getting him toys and sending
him to kindergarten while doing crime when he doesn't have Bruce to take care off YR-LUL
the Manga is called one operation joker.
What?
What?
I've never heard of that, that's wild, no it's super wild, also, um, ugly Garfield.
So depending on how big that is, blessed by Charros, but that is like a really ugly
Garfield.
That's like really ugly.
That's like really ugly.
Yeah.
Little bit of abomination.
It's not ugly.
I mean, I guess I could go uglier.
Yeah, let me, let me give you an uglier Garfield.
Is that ugly enough for you now?
Is that like enough?
Should we, should we somehow go uglier?
Do we need an even uglier Garfield dude?
Because that's a pretty ugly Garfield at that point.
I feel like people have tried really hard to make like the ugliest Garfield.
Like they keep doing this and it keeps getting uglier.
Like it's getting wild.
I heard that.
There you are.
It's Jake.
What'd you walk into, ugly gargoyle, are you puking?
Gross.
What?
I mean, you didn't move.
I blame you for that.
Or Jake, true.
Uh...
That's been HR violation, true.
There we go.
Jake, I've done it.
I've listed all of the statistics
and their internal names
and the display names
and what they do for the player on all of these.
We've done it.
We've done it, the final one.
by God, he's done it. Only took six hours. Yeah, but it's fun, right? We had to like, work some stuff out along the way and like, rename some shit and like, talk about things, you know.
And I think this is a good little rubric for us, you know, listing each one of these out. If I want to be more intense about it, I'll probably split it up into offensive, defensive, utility, because we'll probably need that inside of our UI.
UI. I'm making professions. I need to finish exp sources and then let professions modify stats.
And you can make other professions. That's perfect because I've got my profession right up
that I have to do anyway. So I think what I'll do is tomorrow I'm going to write up the profession
right up or each one of the sub professions because I'll have to do one for each. And we'll
probably start with foraging because foraging is going to be the easiest implementation out of
everything. So, or with farming, farming and forging are quite different. Forging is items found
that have been spawned through natural means out in Worldgen, and farming is from players like
farming of material, you know, like the growing wheat and shit like that. I do want to make it
so that players can get experience, like farming experience, farming at home. So we'll bring that
back. So I think that'll be quite fun that way. So at least wheat maxers will have something to
do. Right? I just don't know which yet. Yeah. Oh, you know what? I just realized what a curse
of Cheros would be. Hank Hill's ass. That's a curse of Cheros. Done. Before I make it home, you do.
Yeah. That's what happens if you defy Cheros, he will give you Hank Hill's ass.
It's true. It's true.
Yeah. Yeah, back to DDS.
Dammit Bobby.
Awesome Jedi Knight with 500 bits said Yarchia 500 is this heresy.
L-Shift is not a crouch or sprint button. Left control is sprint, C is crouch.
I never really got into Christopher Nolan's Batman movies.
I like pineapple on pizza.
I think tomatoes belong in a burger, pickles too, any heresy, I have another dono.
I got into game development side of things.
I'm trying out Godo.
I feel like you might be a follower of Zinch.
And not that I am one, but if I was, we'd hang out.
But I'm not, obviously.
Mjedi99 with 500 bits said Yachir 500 to continue.
I tried to do animation but couldn't stay on track on an idea.
I'll probably get back on it later.
I got into Godot, I'm making low-poly character models and seeing where it goes.
I now feel that in the 2030s a large portion of PC gamers will move to Linux due to Microsoft's
incapability of making anything work.
Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions are masterpieces.
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 is also a masterpiece.
Bully Maguire makes it good.
You lost me at that last part.
You said words, but I don't understand what those words meant.
I actually think that gaming will move towards Linux,
but it won't be because of that.
I think it'll be because of Steam.
If Valve keeps pushing in the direction that they are,
with pushing Linux support in the way that it does,
it will become more normalized
and it will have more driver support
for any type of gaming that you wanna do.
And because of things like the Steam Deck,
you will see more Linux gaming machines.
This is going to be the major driver, I feel,
as I think it's just gonna be Valve really pushing it.
Microsoft shitting itself violently
is going to happen anyway.
Like that's definitely gonna drive people,
but I think the Gabe Cube, I think that the Steam Deck,
I think those are really the major drivers
for that direction.
Yeah, people don't actually care about an operating system.
They just care about being able to play their games.
And if Linux is a better way to play games
because it has so much support now
because Valve is driving that support wave.
Great, I think it's huge.
I actually think that Valve did more for Linux support
than any other company I've seen in like a decade, man.
I really do, Microslop.
I remember when people would say like MicroDick
to them and they get upset,
but I guess they're getting mad about Microslop now,
which I think is very funny.
I think people being upset about being called Microslop
is probably the funniest outcome.
And I will continue to say it
until they stop being an AI driven company.
That'd be great.
Yeah, microslop, microslop.
Macroslop, there's a lot of slop there,
so it could be a macro amount of slop, that's true.
MS is one of the biggest contributors right now,
ironically, yeah, I think that's quite funny.
Yeah, if you don't wanna be called slop, stop being slop.
True, yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah, the potential pullback to co-pilot.
You mean like removing it from Notepad and removing it from MS Paint, where it totally belonged, right?
I hope that all these major tech companies pull out of that shit because they realize how wasteful it has been.
It has not added value to their shit.
What do you think of the new fable showcase?
I have not been watching any of the fable anything because I want to go in completely blind.
All I know is I can kick it chicken, which makes me excited because that's what previous iterations of fable let me do
It's all I've seen and I've that's it. I want to stay away from it. I want to look at it
I want to talk about I want to hear it
Be secret. Yeah. Yep
Yep.
Yep.
Lactax said we are the board, resistance is futile.
No. No. Jesus.
Alright.
Unran 9464 said Hello Four.
Hello.
If you're looking for interesting story song, I recommend listening to a song called Legend of the Dobman,
about a cryptid that exists in the midwest. I know you're a strong mothman supporter,
though either song for the dogma is a good spooky song. Link to song incoming in 3, 2,
So I know of the dogman, the like, it's supposed to be in like Michigan.
Yeah, it's Michigan. Okay, found it. And it's specifically not a werewolf.
It is instead a dogman, which is weird, but also hilarious.
Yeah, it's a local legend. The dogman is different than the wolfman.
You know we have a festival going on in Goldworth's do right now. Does it include the dogman?
Is he a good boy? No. The idea is that he eats you. You die. Not a very good boy. Yeah.
Yeah. It's not good. Not good. What is this reddit media evolution of the trash icon?
Why are you sending me this? I don't want to see it. Is he different than the muffin man? He is.
It is because the muffin man lives in Drury Lane.
Yeah.
And the dog man eats you alive.
It's very different.
Different move, I think.
Doesn't rhyme as well, either.
Wendigo is a good pup.
Wendigo's are different.
Wendigo's supposed to be people that have transformed by eating other people.
Isn't that what that is?
The Wendigo turns into a... like a human being turns into a Wendigo because they absorb the spirit of the cannibal.
Yeah.
I love cryptids, man.
Midsanari with 500 bits said yaa cheer 100 yaa cheer 100 yaa cheer 100 yaa cheer 100
yaa cheer 100 gotta say my most favorite fake type songs have to be fake style 1 and 2
in Cruel Creator and I love the song They Mad with Kankan called Bloody Mary it's a
Bob goblins jam. Big type is really good shit.
Yeah, really good shit. Is Wendigo a slur? No, Wendigo is the term for a mythical being. It's a
mythical creature that is, um, as far as I know, derived from a man that is inhabited by a spirit
of a cannibal that may transform the cryptid.
Yeah, it's a cryptid. They're using a lot of media, like a lot.
Also, I'm actually, I'm actually really sad for cryptids. I really like cryptids,
I think that local legends are really cool. And we live in a time now where they're ruined.
because anyone can just make AI-generated video and AI-generated images of any given cryptid.
So it kind of like removes the mystique of all of that, which sucks, you know. It used to be like
weird trail cam footage and all kinds of shit like that and everybody like kind of believing this
thing and it was kind of cool to have local legends, but now they just generate that stuff.
That's not that fun. Yeah, a lot of it goes back to Native American folk tales for some of them.
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Native American folklore is one of those, but um, for other ones,
it's like, like Mothman, right? You know, I love shitty cam footage. I do too.
I just, I do think that we're losing something cultural with that one,
which does kind of suck.
You watch something in the Mothman in West Virginia and prime Mothman is really
cool. And the original story of Mothman is actually terrifying because it's not
just like a local legend. It's like, they had like evidence and people were
terrified and like a police officer saw it and like all this kind of shit.
And they never had an explanation for it.
And it was from a time before they had like drones or anything like that.
So it couldn't be people messing around with that in the forest. But, um,
no, the original like police reports from Mothman were like wild or it,
and I think that's, that's kind of what births a legend like that. Did you not?
Like, yeah, no, it's, it's weird, dude. People who obsessed with Mothman.
I actually did Mothman March as a event inside of block game Minecraft and when I did that somebody in the community actually left the community and sent me an angry email talking about how I shouldn't like, like make fun of the Mothman because it's like a serious thing.
And like, I don't understand the danger and like all they went really rabid on me in the email about it and I was like, I'm just doing an event because I think moths are cool.
cool. Like I made a bunch of suits of armor for like the Atlas moth and like the Luna
moth and like all this stuff. I was like, this is gonna be really cool. Mothman is cool.
You know, I'm like, but no, it's people are really serious about it. They're really serious
about it. You know, they're so serious about it that they made a statue that has like a
seriously defined ass on it. It is incredibly caked up. And if you look it up online, you
will see his shiny metal ass. One time someone put a tattoo above it. Go to the internet
look, that's how serious it is. It's a statue, it's there. Yeah, it's wild. You love Wendigo
and Spider-Woman? Try to think what my favorite cryptid really is. It might be Mothman. It
might unironically be mothman. Yeah, mothman's pretty good. You search mothman's ass and
click images, you'll find exactly what I'm talking about immediately. It's real. That's
an actual statue. And there's no reason that they made it that well defined, but they did
anyway. Jersey Devil's pretty cool. I like Jersey Devil. The Chupacabra is pretty cool
to come. That's a cool one. Why is this crack so shiny? Not only is this crack shiny, it's
really well formed. So sometimes you put quarters in it and they'll stay there in the crack
of the mothman statue, which I think is hilarious. Personally, jackalope is really cool. I like
a jackalope. In fact, they have jackalopes instead of high tail. That was cool. Yeah.
Sam the sand down ghost clown. I don't know anything about that one. That's new to me.
Oh, oh, I don't think that's a cryptid. That might be a yokai. Yeah, there's, um, if you look at
Japanese yokais, there's like hundreds of them, and they're usually based around a couple of things.
They're based around, you left your stuff outside, or the weather was really bad.
Yokai, or this person died and they're upset about it. That's another yokai type. So it's like,
Like they're basically life advice turned into a monster,
clean up your shoes,
you'll turn into the shoe, yokai,
clean up your wet towel,
it'll turn into the wet towel, yokai.
Don't die alone, you'll turn into die alone, yokai.
Like just like stuff like that.
They're like interacts with other people
and clean up after yourself or you'll make demons, right?
That's sort of what yokai seemed to be for me
is there's a lot of that.
There's very specific ones,
but a lot of them,
a lot of the mundane yokai are really that way,
if that makes sense.
So I think they're cool.
I think you're okay or cool.
It's a cool way to teach people to like clean up
after the damn selves.
Cause if they don't, it will turn into a demon
and eat them alive.
Yeah.
Don't sit on the chair.
You'll turn it into a okay, right?
W traditions, I agree.
I actually like traditions.
I think traditions are really helpful for people
because it's a way of passing down knowledge
of kind of mundane things in sort of a fantastic way.
Right?
Like obviously we know that the chair
is not going to turn into a demon if you don't put it away.
But like, if you instill something of tradition
the people will be like, clean up after yourself, live a life like that, put the
goddamn cart back when you leave the supermarket, instilling that into people I
don't think it's a bad thing, right? Like do it with a, you know, a coat of paint
of the the esoteric and it's kind of interesting, but like, I don't know, just
teach people not to be dipshits, you know, clean up after yourself and be cool,
you know. Australians have the Yahweh? I don't know. I've heard that term, but I
know what it means. Oh yeah, you guys have your own version of the, uh, of like the
manager, the Yahweh. It's a folklore thing, just eats people. Yeah, you also
turn it into candy. You have a candy that's named after it. It's just a little guy. Canada
is the window.
You heard something extremely different. You might be cooked. The internet
is too much for you now jake
always have them
the bun yet i think i've heard of that one too
we have something called a snipe
i have a bunch of his creepy
i when i was a child
i uh...
i got lied to
by my grandfather when we were out
doing camping
and he said that we were going on a snipe on and these tiny creatures and if
you're not careful don't get you
Right? And he scared the shit out of us.
And we told all these stories about the snipe and all this kind of stuff.
And then in the middle of the night, it's me and my brother in one tent.
And then my stepdad and like my mom over in another tent, I think it was just
them, I think it was my stepdad.
He was telling me the story.
Yeah.
Stepdad is telling a story.
And what he had done was he took beer bottles and he put them on this side of
the tent and he tied them up with string.
And he started screaming over their tent and I like, what the hell are you doing?
leave my tent alone. And I'm like, we're not messing with your
tent. He's like, Oh, yeah, bullshit, you cut that shit out
right now. And then they started screaming. And they're like,
they're all over there everywhere. And then he pulled the
string for the beer bottles to go underneath. And it was only
like two of them. But you're freaking out, you're panicking.
So you think they're all over the place. And they're shaking the
tent and they're doing that thing. And we're just starting to
freak out and scream and, and, you know, panic and all this kind
of stuff. And that's a sniper. What do you scare? Basically, you
take kids into the woods, and you scare the living shit out of
them. And that's a Snipe Hunt. That's what that so if you if you want to do that, that they'll
remember it for the rest of their lives. Enjoy that. That's what a Snipe Hunt is. Yeah, you just
you scare the living shit out of them, whatever it is. Yeah. Super rude. But like, I don't know,
now it's funny, right? Now I'm older, like that's hilarious, right? Scared the shit out of the
kids. Great, you know. Yeah, Snipe Hunt dude. It's a Snipe Hunt. You go out there, you go into the
the woods and you catch the cryptid known as the snipe. It's very funny. Now, there's
my stepdad on that one. It wasn't my grandpa. I misspoke. It was my stepdad and my mom,
but like not my grandfather. My grandpa, my grandpa was kind of a dumbass.
Grandpa, my mom's side. Yeah, kind of a dumbass.
The memories of childhood trauma. Just like grandpa used to make. Yeah, exactly.
No, I think I said it wrong in the beginning. I was like, yeah, it was my grandma. I was like,
I was like, wait, no, it wasn't, it was my step dad.
Childhood PTSD we all have.
I think the Snipe Hunt is hilarious, personally.
Yeah.
I think that, honestly,
I think the Snipe Hunt is hilarious.
I think that's,
I know that's not like the politically correct thing,
it's like, oh, all children should be never scared.
Bullshit, no, scare me in the woods with the Snipe Hunt.
I remember that for the rest of my life.
Shit was a cannon event, dude.
Great. Fantastic. You know what it taught me? Don't trust anything.
Good. Good.
It's like tell me to go to the wild and get my armor trimmed. Fantastic.
Core memory unlocked. Don't trust people.
Good. Good.
Always be suspicious.
Don't get ripped off.
I don't know why he just doesn't like you exactly.
Can we rip you off?
Yes.
Question everything and everyone always yes always be skeptical.
Thoris AI is an old take.
true. Never prove it, even if it was true. Because I'm a real human.
You're not skeptical of Cheros. I mean, why would you be? Think of the
consequences.
It's not good.
Kids need to be desensitized to treat scary stuff or scary stuff. I
don't know about that.
Because my parents scared the living shit out of me when I was a
kid, probably a little too much. And now I have phobias. So I know that there is a limit.
I watched Friday the 13th when I was a kid. I was way too young. And there are two scenes
in that movie. It's good to live in shadowy. One of them is this woman gets into a bathtub
and she's taken a bath and the bottom falls out and then there's like a shark and it's
in the deep ocean. I am terrified of the ocean. I know it's because of that scene. Like I
know it. I 100% know that I am afraid of the ocean because of that scene. The other one
is a guy falls asleep on the couch and the couch eats him and then shoots meatloaf all
over the room. I don't sleep on couches because of this. And I know it. I cannot have a good
night's rest on a couch. If I even sleep on a couch a little bit, I get weird and I wake
up. I know, I know for a fact it's because of that movie. I could trace the memory back
to that moment and just be like, nope. Nope, not doing it. Yeah. Yeah. So I know, I think
there is a limit. I think you can be too young to watch a scary movie because you're too young
to realize that shit's fake and it just becomes a part of you even when you're
older and you know that it's stupid it's just still in there right yeah you're
born with your fear of the ocean good good that's healthy I think maybe
poltergeist must you open your kid didn't mess me up poltergeist was kind of
whatever jaws are in the ocean for you because you're young and watch it I
I thought the Jaws was funny when I was a kid.
I actually did. I thought it was hilarious.
Maybe I messed up kid.
You had a ghost experience? I did.
I have one experience that I'll never be able to explain ever in my life.
And it sounds so stupid and weird.
It's so stupid and weird, and I have no idea how to explain it.
And that's just the way that that's always going to be.
It's always going to be that way.
I was, this is super weird.
I've told the story before and I don't tell it very often
because it's super weird.
I was at my dad's house and this is when I was growing up
and there's like stairs going up right here
and this is the kitchen.
And you know that feeling when someone walks into the room
and you can kind of hear their footsteps
and you know who it is based on the weight of the footstep.
You just know instinctively like who it is.
You know that feeling?
Someone walks in and you're like, oh, hey, it's you.
And you know who it is before you even look
just based on being around them a long time.
I hear my brother walk into the room behind me
and I turn around and I go to look
and it's this six, like six to seven foot
tall shadow thing.
And I just go, and I freak out and I panic and I pass out.
And I wake up a couple of minutes later
because I'm making food, right?
And nothing's burnt at this point.
It's only been like maybe a minute, right?
And I wake up and I go, I just had hallucination.
I'm losing my shit.
Obviously I've lost my mind, right?
So I walk out in the living room, I turn everything off,
and I walk out in the living room to my dad,
and the rest of my family's sitting there,
and I go, hey, I need to go to the hospital.
I just saw this.
I'm clearly hallucinating.
Something is wrong.
And he goes, don't worry about it.
And I'm like, why?
And he goes, all of us who're seeing this,
your stepmom's gonna handle it.
And she got out of sage wand,
and she burned it, she went around the house,
and I never saw it again.
And I have no explanation for that,
because it's a shared experience now.
I have no solution for that whatsoever.
it broke all of my idea of reality
and i've never had an answer for that and i was like well
now that we've all seen it
what do i do with that so it's just at the box in the back of my brain as the
unknowable
unexplainable bullshit that whatever that was
that's so like i'm like alright and cool you know
yeah that's that's one of the ones where i'm like that
I don't know about that.
I'm just gonna leave that in the back there.
We'll just file it under, nope, you know.
Yeah.
You shove it deep down in the back, basically.
I'm gonna tell you this right now.
If you're not that old,
you're gonna collect these throughout your life.
Yeah, you're gonna collect them.
There are gonna be moments like that
that happen throughout your life.
And it's gonna get weird.
And you're just gonna take that and you're gonna go,
meh.
And you'll never have an answer to that at all whatsoever.
all whatsoever. It's just going to be in the back of your head as one of those things
that you'll never solve. And that's, that's it. You'll just collect them over your years.
And that's one of mine. Yeah. That's for therapy. That's for therapy. It is. Yeah. But maybe
not, you know, carbon monoxide is a hell of a drug. That's the other thing. So like,
I thought maybe be like a carbon monoxide thing. No, it wasn't all the windows were
open. Everything was fine. Just the oven wasn't being used. And there was no like time of
Like dude, there was like methodical stuff that went through for this of like checking for carbon monoxide checking for all these types of things
There was nothing there was nothing. So it was like
Like what are you doing? I don't know what you do with that. Yeah, I've got nothing. I got nothing. Anyway, good ads
Yep
Your brother is such a prankster. I know right
Yeah, so I just filed it under whatever man, you know
What would you step on dude? She did the sage one so the sage one is is it's an older belief
where you burn sage around the openings of different doorways and things and that cleanses
the home. Yeah, I'm gonna file it in her Heptapod. Yeah, a little bit of Heptapod going on there.
I have never blacked out my life beyond that. Never. Never. No matter how scared I've been.
I have no idea what caused it.
The only thing that I can describe it as is some,
I felt hunted for just a moment.
Like,
like a prey animal.
Like you knew you were gonna lose.
Like this was it.
And then I woke up.
Yeah, I have no other way of describing that.
Horrifying.
Yeah.
You met an Orcon?
Bro, I don't even know what that means.
You ever seen the movie, The Babadook?
I have.
I had.
Oh, by the way, this was in broad daylight. Not at night.
Not in the dark.
Middle of the day.
Like 2, 2 p.m.
Bright sunlight. California.
Yeah.
Was this part of you high life stress?
Life high stress? No.
No. Not even at all.
Everything was pretty great.
It came out of nowhere, no major stresses, no bullshit, nothing.
So I was just like, alright, well, that's going to be a whole back pocket.
The Heptapod.
Yeah, so that was the thing, everyone in the house had seen it at different times.
Uh, was always described the exact same way because I explained it directly for that and then it was it was no
No, bullshitting no joke making
No, no anything no anything at all
and it was just
stepmom sprung into action
She's like I've got exactly what we need for this pulls out like the sage wand lights on fire goes around every window
Which is like a wicking tradition of like cleansing the home and I was like
I don't know anything about any of this shit. What do you mean? You've seen it
I was like, oh, no, shit's haunted.
I was like, I was fully aware.
I was like, okay, I'm having a hallucination.
This is a medical emergency.
I need to go to the doctor.
And then it was like, no, actually, demons are real.
And I was like, what?
It's not what you expect they're want, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not good.
It's not good.
None of it is good.
That was the Thor.exe has stopped working moment, yeah.
And I have seen other things throughout my life since then, but I think that was the
first one where I went, no, I can't explain that one.
And everyone's like, yeah, you'll collect those as you grow up.
And I just, I collected that one, and that one is collected now.
It's in the box.
It's in the weird box.
It's in the weird box.
Yeah, it's weird.
Exhausted Occam's razor for that story. That's exactly it. It's like I'm a really big skeptic, dude
Like I'm a super big skeptic. So when that happened, I was immediately like this is medical
I'm having neurological problem. Just immediately. I was like, this is this is a go to the hospital kind of a thing
Check the house kind of a thing all that stuff. There was nothing like Occam's razor was fully expended and it's like, okay
All right. Well, that's about that. I guess
cool. I go to you deal with it.
Got really interested in necromancy? Necromancy.
Whose neck were you romancing? You know what? Don't kiss and tell.
This typical said Sinker you like story songs and hadn't heard of Freelance Wales. I want
share their song Broken Horse. I'd also recommend Generator Carat First Floor because I think it's
neat how the structure of the music itself conveys the simple story. See, YouTube for Broken Horse,
HTTPS colon slash. I skipped the link but it'll be up in the discord, I want to check them out,
because that sounds really cool, legitimately really cool. So thank you.
IdentityCrossos said start talking to the VA a year out. If you submit your claim before your 90
until separation. The VA has to prove, disprove anything you claim. Anytime after that, it's all on you.
Yeah, you got to keep records of everything. You got to keep records of absolutely everything.
I think that's something that a lot of people don't do either because they go in, they're
expecting to be taken care of, which they should be taken care of, but they aren't. Veterans just
aren't and you have to bring in so much paperwork and proof and information to show what is going on.
I think it's outrageous personally. I think veterans need to be treated with more respect
than I think that the medical system, the VA system, lets them down entirely so. Very,
very large amount of time. Yeah. Fighting the VA is a pain in the ass. It is. It really is.
DJ LIGHTNINGBOLT213 with 1000 bits said I pay fine for talk politic. Lol JK.
Or talk politic? This man speak politic singular. Yeah.
Does this dawdling said hey Thor? We submitted a game to the game jam, but the web build
wouldn't let it play properly. I created a video showing gameplay and added it to our
GDD. I recently transferred the file to Godo 4.6 and it now works. No coding changes were
Can I resubmit the playable version, even just privately?
So there's been a lot of people that wanted to resubmit stuff.
I got a couple of tickets about it because I was talking about maybe there's something we can do about it.
I have to do a cutoff.
I can't go and manage through every single person's because we've got a bunch of people that like tried to submit seconds too late and all this kind of stuff.
It feels really bad to try and cut that off, but there are simply too many of them for me to manage, right?
right? There's just too many of them. So the only thing I can say is if your build didn't work when
you put it up there, that's something you have to learn about the submission process of like,
test early test often, make sure that your build is functional, get it up there and actually have
someone play it. And not last minute, not last hour, not last five minutes, you know, like there
were people waiting for the last literal 60 seconds to, to like submit, I'm like, why are you doing
that, like just don't. Yeah, like that's just too many. And like it's just not a it's not a safe
thing to do. So like, I'm gonna have to tell people like, no, if you didn't submit, you didn't
submit. And like, does that suck? Yeah. But like, like, it's, it's not fair to all the people that
did everything correctly on time. And it's, it's a load of work, dude, like it's a huge amount of
to work on us. Posted days early, then updated every day. Yeah, there you go. Exactly. Who's
submitting what? We're talking about the game gym. People just trying to submit late. And I know
that sucks. I know it sucks. I know it's like a harsh lesson learned. And I'm not trying to be a
dick. It's just like the reality of that is it's, it's, it's a lot of work to like, grade all of
these, you know, and I've been doing it and going through them. So yeah, we go again. And it's fine.
that the biggest thing that you have to understand is the submission at the end was not even the intent.
I know that's weird to say is that submitting the game to me
and having me grade your assignment doesn't matter. What matters is that you learn something cool
through the process of creation. A little zinchian, right? A little bit of zinchian there,
but like the idea is that you tried something that you're not usually used to doing.
you may have even not even completed you may have failed along the way but if
you learned anything at all then then you succeeded that is the whole point of
the game just the whole point of the game yeah in blank so like please do
keep that in mind please do I've like that's it yeah you almost certainly
didn't complete exactly exactly 99% of them didn't complete stuff but even if
you did anything, you win. You know, that's, that's the whole point is it was meant to be a
two week period of you learning stuff. So line has to be drawn no matter what, what's done,
it will negatively impact someone somehow. I know, I know. And like, I know people are going
to be upset about this and some people are going to take it too hard and they're going to hate me
for the rest of their lives and make it part of their personality. But like, I can't do anything
about that. I just, I want you to be creative and I'm giving you a platform to be so, so that you
can learn some shits you can keep being creative. And you do with that, but you will. And I hope that
that you follow the guidelines and do that.
Like I even had to disqualify some of them the other day
because they made their whole game,
but then they AI generated their cover page,
like their cover information for their game,
like the display image for it.
And we told them no AI generated content.
Last game jam, we actually had a bunch of people
AI generate their game design document,
which is just wild, right?
like this. It's like, you're not learning anything if you do that, it doesn't make any sense. So it's just like,
upsetting. Yeah. It's just upsetting, you know, yeah, we had three people get disqualified last time from AI generated, they'd be generative AI their design doc. And it was like, that's the point is that you're doing this yourself, and learning from it. And if you outsource that to a robot, you're not actually learning from
that in any possible way. So, and I even gave them a template,
you know, and I think that's the thing is like, I gave them the
template to learn from, you know, from another person who made
one, and they still didn't take that they just generate AI, AI
did, which is sad. Yeah. You're really hating people who are AI
generating your read me.md on GitHub right now. Oh my God, dude,
That's that's wild.
How to spot gen AISlop.
So I'll give you an example.
There's a lot of telltale signs, like little pieces on most AI generated
images, there's a look and feel to them.
But what I do is I take those images and I throw them through five different
detectors that are online.
And the ones that I've gone like that, that one's gone, right?
They've hit 99% across four out of the five.
like, that's just not all these that look like it, like very
obviously merging in materials and like characters, six fingers
kind of shit. But also you have, you have these scanners
actually showing that they're showing up as gender in AI. So
it's and it will say the exact, you know, thing that they used,
I even made, I should make a video on spotting this shit,
because it's a lot of normal people don't know how to spot it
Right off the bat, you know, and it's it's kind of rough. It's like rough to see and then
It's sad. So an MS Paint drawing used for a cover image is better than Jenna. Yes. Yes, it is
Yes, it is and we see that all too often like even in the gaming space if you go to mobile games
Like 50% of mobile games right now are using generative AI images
Like for their cover images and it's super weird because you'll see this incredibly high definition image
that's obviously gen 8i AI and you go look at the game and it's like super crunchy pixel art.
I'm like why would you it doesn't even look anything like the game man like what why why why
you know yeah a lot of high-tail mods you're doing in that too it's so common it's so common
yeah so aren't some of those detectors faulty though I'm gonna tell you right now it's really
obvious to tell when like somebody's skin is merging into like the chain mail that they're wearing
because the A doesn't know where one begins and one ends.
Like it's, I go to the detectors as a backup,
not as the first case, you know?
Yeah, no, it's not good.
So like, I don't know, man.
I think that, I think it's just really obvious right now.
Eventually it won't be obvious.
Normies can't even detect it.
99% of the time now, they just don't even know.
And I think that's something to really be honest about is
the normal average non-terminally online internet user,
which is none of us, to be clear, can't detect AI.
They can't tell.
And that's gonna get more and more concerning.
Both in a lot of different spheres.
It'll get concerning in the political sphere.
It'll get concerning in propaganda.
It'll get concerning in world events.
It'll get concerning in everything, like legitimately.
concerning and everything because the farther along this tech goes the more
that it's tricking people of lower and lower ages. Yeah, so that's that's weird.
Super weird actually. It's already happening in propaganda. Oh, I'm
a lawyer. Yeah, you could fold sometimes. I'm not even focusing on it. The way my
litmus test for it is did that image evoke an emotional reaction for me? Yes,
that's probably by design.
The moment that I feel an emotional reaction to the image,
that prompts me to look at it deeper
because it's probably designed to do so.
And then we go from there.
And it's usually, it usually turns out
to be bullshit at that point.
It's very rare that it's actually a real image.
So I think that's, that's where you gotta kind of catch yourself.
You're like, I'm mad.
Wait a minute.
You're like.
Or always in that suite, wait a minute, you know, yeah.
You seem everything is AI?
Good.
Everything's bullshit.
That's how it should be.
That's alright.
I'm accurate.
I believe in that.
Hordeon said hey Thor do you plan on writing any lore to block game or implementing any
cool systems from Ashes into it?
Lore wise I felt a disconnect between the dungeon names sounding serious but then a lot
of silly names around, and I was super interested in the node system from Ashes.
Sounded like a great idea for a cool experience.
I'm not taking anything from Ashes that didn't want not to do. I've got a lot of ideas from
MC version of block games or Minecraft version of block game where I have hidden narratives and
things like that. I'm going to be able to expand on that very heavily instead of high-tail block
game. I want to put story through items. I want to have relics and heroes, things that have long
since past. I want to add structures, which are called prefabs and high tail, that tell stories
and narratives across great deals of space or maybe in specific biomes. I want you to discover
that. And since it is a social sandbox, a lot of the story outside of that will be written by the
players, your interactions with each other, great wars and things like that. You know, that's,
that's all down to you guys and your history and the things that you make.
Oh, wait. Yeah, I did say time for a pet of eggs out, didn't I? It was like two hours ago. I need
to go get some water. So I'm gonna grab that real quick. Give me a minute.
Why hello, I'm eating steak, one moment.
of
an average of
It's like Franklin multiplies itself, wait a minute.
Are you listening to Final Fantasy 7 BGM? No, this is all from our game, Herpun.
This is all from Jotunheim.
It's Throne of Frost, which is the theme song for Snipple, which is the Frost Giant in Jotunheim.
Niffelheim technically, Niffelheim.
You bought the OST and you love it? Nice dude. All the money from the OST goes to a musician.
It's a very cool thing for you to do.
The TTS isn't your best friend.
MM1MC said, Wizard101 cured my time loop. Wizard101 cured my time loop.
What is it?
Wizard101 cured my time loop.
I don't think it did.
Wizard101 cured my time loop. Wizard101 cured my time loop.
Wizard 101 cured my time loop.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I don't know this may be shocking is that Wizard of 101 may not have cured your time loop
potentially
It's gonna go maybe out on a limb, you know and like
Nina underscore the underscore blue said not sure if you've seen this game into the restless ruins
First, there's the deck building system which you use to create the dungeon, then the action
phase where you run the dungeon.
Played the demo for only a few minutes before being sold on it and buying it.
That sounds cool as hell.
I don't know anything about that.
I think this only grows on the bone.
What does this grow on?
Oh, it does.
No, that doesn't make any sense.
It's a wall attachment.
Somebody set this up wrong.
Look at that.
That's a wall attachment.
Before touch grass, you'd just think this is grass.
You don't want to know what it really is, do you?
You don't want to know.
You don't want to know what it is, Chip.
You think it's grass, but it's something much darker.
So blood leaf grows up and down.
That seems like an incorrect placement.
Yeah.
You spit out your drink, nice.
Blood Rose?
What is a blood rose here on?
Maybe that's why it's like this.
Okay, that at least seems correct.
Where it's growing upwards.
The blood leaf, not so much.
Storm capped mushroom.
That's a cool looking mushroom.
I like the particle effects on these because they're so simple that one's using the erosion effect with the circle
this one's using the erosion effect with their diamond shapes
well it looks really good
erosion with diamonds again with multiple emitters let's say it's creating emitters randomly around it
That's the same.
This one has like a very large particle and then star particles that go upwards.
That's cool.
Likely because it goes underwater.
Yeah, that's really neat.
I like that.
All very simple, you know, they're just simple effects, but they look nice.
Place one block in the ground and the blood leaf onto that block.
What do you mean?
like that, and then, like cause I don't think it should be placed like this, I think it
should be placed like that.
Yeah, it's like supposed to be placed on the side, but it's allowing it to be placed elsewhere,
which is a little bit weird.
it can be placed on itself creating a chain of weirdness it's like a human
centipede of plants I just don't think that's a good thing you know what I mean
thanks I hate it yeah I mean they're really cool looking at night they are
well yeah they even have even have the incorrect that's it that's a fixable
that should be fixed yeah
That skybox is freaky. Yeah, it's pretty good. Do you want to see it actually?
You want to see it at night because like at night the moon comes out and it's just
It's lovely, you know
A lot of things like that
Uh...
I can't be unseen yet.
Alright, we've got everything in place. I'm really happy with the design document for the day.
All the statistics are in now.
We added a little bit for status effects down here at the bottom as well. This is all done.
This looks good.
It's a good day.
Is there lore on that image?
Sure.
Don't worry about it.
We're gonna swap over to Path of Exile.
We keep doing this.
WXRTHLTL underscore JWLPKLZ with 500 bits said I wish to commit mind control.
It's like mind control but without the L so it never fails.
You will play the next TTS.
This will compel you.
Woo woo woo.
I am enjoying the dev work and hope they commit more features this year.
Have fun doing what you are thought.
What if I don't? What if I never did it? What if I just didn't? And I just stayed this way.
Not pressing that button again, for the rest of the day.
I'm going to do it, because I want to do it. Not because you said that I would.
You'll never prove it.
SlushBerryGames, with $5 said so I have decided that when I get overwhelmed that I will prove
will fall back to art. I'm not great at art but it feels good to get something done.
Seven for the seven.
That's fair. Yeah, I mean there's nothing wrong with that. If you're not good at art
who cares? It doesn't matter. You don't have to be God's gift of art, artists that make
cool shit, you know? And you should never feel like you have to be. There's no, the
points are made up. There's no limit. It doesn't matter. Someone's gonna like you
stuff somewhere. I mean look at Homestuck, one of the most well-known and successful
webcomics ever made started off very simplistic you know look at Kingdom of
Loathing it's got multiple games on Steam now stick figures Thomas was alone
programmer art you know like don't ever judge yourself by the little voice in
your head that has higher standards than any human being alive just have fun
I wish to kill things as a large bear look at him. Look at his ridiculous hat
It looks very upset. It's covered in armor
What if it's a big voice in your foot dude, what what does that even mean that's not scared of the locals I
Love that. He's like don't scare the locals and then you could just do this
It's cool. Don't worry about it.
Armor big.
What's my inventory up? Nothing.
Huh?
The modern mine.
I need...
I need to go back to the mine, don't I? I do. I do have to go back to the mine.
The bear is a mullet, the bear is powerful, and you were respected.
We have ads, I will kill this thing and then pause.
Did you earn for the mines you goddamn right?
Ads.
The car said hello Thorington, long list of lemons, I have two very important questions
for you.
What's made out of leather and sounds like a sneeze a shoe have you heard about NASA sending out a satellite to say sorry to the aliens
No, they're calling it apology. Oh god. Damn it. You lost the game seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven times seven
I should have known the apology was too good
too good.
Dalinar said praise Chiros, the ever-charing one, whose divine domain extends to all things
cherish, chair-eye-table, and chair-ismatic.
May his holy presence chair Nali guide your posture, lest you fall into the realm of the
unchair-ed.
The unchair-ed.
Worst trimmer of all time?
You made a troll account just for me.
That makes me special to you.
I hope you have a good day.
You have been named at Pirate Soyware.
You thought about that.
It took you time, out of your day.
I know where you're at.
I know how you feel.
I'll see you in the next account, friend.
Rage487 said, hi Thor, I found a cool looking puzzle platformer coming soon on Steam called
Jigrift where the world is made up of six Thor pieces and you have to assemble them
as you explore.
Dude, that game is really cool.
It looked really cool so I wanted to share.
That game is really cool.
That game is really cool.
That game is really cool.
That game is really cool.
Yeah, no, it's really, really cool looking like the map changes based on you putting
the puzzle pieces of the islands together.
It looked freaking awesome.
It looked really, really good.
I have a big bear.
What?
Oh yeah, um, off stream I got to the next act and I started going down this direction.
And I got these because they give increased area of effect.
And this that gives me even more armor applied to elemental damage.
So now, when I'm a bear, I have 55% of armor being applied to elemental damage.
Wait, no? I have 47%. Which is insane.
It's been really good.
And I have even larger slabs.
Big.
In beginning.
Becoming larger.
It's a big old bunch of skill tree.
It's a skill forest, actually, yeah.
You get lost in it very fast.
Yeah, off stream.
means when the streamer is dead. Yeah. In those brief hours in which I'm dead. They made armor
a lot better, I think, because of this. I just love slapping them, dude. Just the slapping,
You know?
Crush him.
Crush him.
Crush him.
I could do this now too.
Which is kind of sick.
I don't think it's that good, but it is really cool.
The gameplay is unbearable, you're right.
You're correct.
TechSmith711 with two Canadian dollars said some chairs cast Perseverdeadbuttsyndrome.
Is that when your butt falls asleep and you're sitting in the chair?
I think that's when the Bondu chair-os is too high,
and as such, he drains too much life essence from your butt.
It's not good. The butt falls asleep. Yeah.
You know where he's man. I hope you have a good day in the way man.
The account was funny to be clear.
Yeah the power of the power of Cheros, you know.
I wonder when they're gonna be finished with this game?
I don't know.
I play it every time they update, and it's awesome.
I love the shit out of it.
And I only play hardcore solo so far, because it's the only thing that makes you feel something
when you die, you know?
I feel like otherwise it just doesn't have much meaning.
It's like, you just come back, like, who cares?
Oh, you're running away to hardcore?
H.C.
Yeah, I play hardcore solo so far only.
And this is my first time playing in a druid, so...
Checkpoint. What's in here?
And eventually this character will die. And when it does, I will laugh and make another one.
Because bear is fun.
Famillian Talisman is weird. It increases minion damage, which is don't quite understand.
Nice.
The Elimited Surprise.
Very powerful element.
Very claimscared, yes.
I'm actually trying to find, there's like a chest that's supposed to be in the zone.
And I don't know anything about it.
Smash, smash.
Ah, garbage.
I kind of want to know.
Ooh.
So mine gives 8 strength, that one gives 24 HP.
I actually think that that one is better.
I think that one might actually be better.
Yeah, that might actually be better.
It's got no life regen, but it's got more cold resistance and it's got thorns.
Thorns is kind of interesting.
And 15 cold is, I feel better than the fire.
I may just hold on to it. It's kind of a side grid, more than anything.
Yeah.
Need to do a thorn build someday? I've never done a thorns build.
Like literally ever.
Yeah.
There we go.
Yeeeaaah!
another one which direction do I go which one okay I don't think bears can
block I didn't get that I want to go this way and get these I'm gonna go that
way and go up this way probably get I think I'm gonna go the physical damage
route I think that makes more sense and just get all of this because they
I don't know if most of my damage is elemental.
I think it's kind of in there, but it's not like a lot, you know.
Squish.
You can block without shield.
You need to just specify it.
Okay.
Smash.
Whoa, that was scary.
Any more defense?
I'm not doing good on the old lightning resists and a lot of these enemies just have lightning
damage.
Lightning is my resist all right now.
It's very scary.
His DPS is yes.
Yeah.
I need more defense and I need more armor and I need more lightning resist because those
are just hurting bad.
I have negative 10% lightning resist.
So you really play around with my gear more legitimately so.
Yeah, I'm playing a druid right now and I'm playing druid as a big old bear.
I need more damage.
Still alive, I was worried, yeah.
I mean, like, he'll die eventually, but not today, you know what I mean?
Superior.
That's nice.
Oh yeah, what was the other thing I got?
There's a rune that I got on Furious Slam.
There's a 25% chance now where it fires off a second time for free instantly.
Which is really, really disgusting.
So a fist of war, I've got magnified area and I've got chance to do it twice.
Which is mmm.
It's very delicious.
Bulbul and present day are very hard on bear.
There's a couple of things that I've seen that are pretty tough on bear right now.
But not so much.
What do you think of the sprint mechanic?
I think it's a, it's a risk whenever I use it.
So if I use it, like in a close quarter environment, like this is a little bit shitty,
and if you get hit, you roll on your side and just die, dude.
Like you're down for a while.
So like I'm really hesitant to use it, if that makes sense.
Yeah, it's a risk versus reward.
I use it when I've cleared the map already.
Or in a situation where I know where I am, and like there's no chance of an enemy getting me.
like this belly rub mode okay now it's really scary dude when you get knocked
down from that it's like really scary faster re-log than you get up from
Springstone it is like unironically it's really scary it's intense when you
belly flop it is especially when you're playing hardcore man like you just get
busted MS go to XY said your chair 100 yard chair 100 yard chair 100 yard
Chair 100 yard chair 100 twitch now allows new form of payment praise be chiro's
What do you mean switch allows a new form of payment? What do they change? What do they do?
Oh wait wait wait wait
and
that
right
back in the month
I'll show you insane
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Nope!
So the run works really well on stuff like that.
Love it, love it.
Cooked
We love it
Try control blizz dodge and bear farm
What does that do it doesn't look any different
Yeah, the scream is great dude nothing all right glad we had to talk then
door feels completely involved. It just feels so chunky, dude. It just feels real chunky,
you know? You dumbass never thought about running. I was just dodged the hits. Oh no,
if you run in a circle when she's doing that bullshit, like it's actually really nice.
She's just viciously, when she hits you with that she detonates like a nuclear bomb.
Are you able to show werewolf?
Uh, sure.
I could do that.
I don't really play werewolf, but there's the werewolf model and it's very fast and
does, um, like frost.
It freezes opponents.
And then the Wyvern is a dragon and shoots fireballs and eats things.
And then I play Bear.
And the reason I play Bear is if you look at armor right now it's at 54%.
Now it's 35.
Bear gains 10 armor per level.
And 30% of armor is then applied to elemental damage resistance on hits.
So if you look down here you can see that armor applying elemental damage is 332.
And now it's down to 92.
So I go from 19% elemental damage reduction from hits to 46%, which just very, very, very
much so helps when your resistances are kind of low, you know.
Your bear has more than 100% armor applied to elemental hits.
That's sick, dude.
That's really good.
Wolf-Fast.
Yeah.
A little bit wider, and the damage is insane on oil barrage and flame breath.
I really like bear.
It just feels good.
Mostly you just like slap the shit out of stuff.
You're like, God!
And then when it dies, it explodes.
And they all just detonate, you know?
Where's F.R.T.R.?
There's just something nice about that.
You know what I mean?
The bear doesn't beat slap.
Weaver and basic attack deals a ton of overkill, which is great for herald of ash.
Does it really?
How does it deal a ton of overkill, really?
Is there some kind of a mechanic where it like executes?
I don't know much about the class yet, this is my first druid, I always played witch,
so new to me.
It's not just big dammin' with her. All right. That's fair.
I like being thick, you know? Thick tanky.
Overcharges with power charges to gain lightning damage.
Oh, that I didn't know.
Druid's vine spells are really good on witch.
I could see that.
On summoner witch, that would make a lot of sense.
You could couple that up with a lot of poison,
I would think as well.
I don't know, I like witch a lot for summoner witch.
That's what I play a ton of.
Nasty.
Support, Jim.
What are we getting this time?
Herald of Ash, Dire Strike, huh?
Persistent buff skills only to deal damage deal increased attack damage while
in low life with supported skill we don't need that whatever want to be on low
life through the mountain has elemental armament and fire attunement right now
uh
but ball has rapid attacks and fire attunement I've already gotten life leech
for it for one and upgrades hmm I feel like there's got to be more right I think
I'll just save this one. There's like nothing I could do with it.
Yeah. I wonder if I could do something like get a spirit unlock of some really
maybe a defensive thing because I've got 31 spirit right now. And I just can't use it for any
if you uncheck the thing on the bottom left in the sports goals you get more options. I know
you do but I don't think there's anything else that I really want for it. Right. So like we go into G
And are not a gene we go into this and we'll go turn off like I'm on mall. We'll do that
I don't think there's anything else in here that I actually want right now
Like at all really
There's like nothing really interesting here
At least not yet
I think there's gonna be wild stuff later because I want to get wildfire later to apply that
Where my ignite can spread between stuff, but that's just not ready yet
Like I kind of want to create like a light the room on fire the bear, you know
40 spirit per non belt slot is a perk from ascendancy
It's weird
For shaman I
Don't know anything about the ascendancy for this yet like at all. I know nothing about it
DKTRJ said good afternoon social kitten soft hair, fellow goblins and bread mods for the
bread throne.
What do you say?
I must object to bean bags, being a fallen chiro's avatar.
They are clearly a corn invention.
They are soft and give no support, have many shapes and excessive use gives you piles.
Also scientists just found the jellyfish the size of a bus near Argentina.
You're welcome.
Well, number one, Argentina can keep it.
You're welcome Argentina.
Number two, I don't think that's a corn thing, it's more slanesh.
There's a lot of slanesh going on with beanbag chairs I think.
Yeah.
It's more her kind of thing.
It's very uncorn like.
Slab slap.
Squish. I love this. It's very fun.
Sir?
Always poisons, huh? He's very mad.
Those are evasion ratings, who tempered mits might actually not suck.
What are my current gloves?
Energy shield.
Yeah, we'll get all those.
They may not suck.
What do you mean, slin-esh with a beanbag chair?
Excess, dude.
Have you ever sat in a beanbag chair and not felt like you were in excess?
You were, what, 100% practicing slin-esh ideals in that beanbag chair.
Yeah, you can't even get up out of it, dude.
This is just so comfortable.
I feel like that slanash and Cheros working together.
Jesus.
Another...
A spirit, yeah, you say.
I have 31 spirit right now.
I could do Briar Patch.
Mmm.
Yeah.
I mean, I've already got Herald of Ash.
I could upgrade it, or I could get another thing.
I feel like Herald of Ash is like, good.
But I feel like Briar Patch is good.
Herald of Ash is the one that scales with strength, though.
But what about getting something like Ravenous Swarm?
or withering presence right or Arctic armor right Arctic armor and a bear is
nuts
hmm
Raging spirits.
Spells not attacks.
I mean, with Arctic armor, it's just a buff at all times, right?
Like that one is really useful.
Only for spells?
Does that not count as a spell?
It may not count as a spell
Not a spell, okay, so that's a slam
Yeah, it's a slam
Okay, so we have to do something else. I think I think I should use this for defensive of some kind
While active uses fragments of armor scavenge from enemies to bolster your own fully breaking an enemy's armor grants you stacks of scavenge
this is sick. Like this is actually really good. Because Harold of Ash is on Druid and
it's on Warrior, but if we do scavenged plating, 4% more armor per scavenged plating, maximum
of 10 scavenged plating, that seems really strong, right? Because that ties into everything.
It gives me thorns, it gives me more armor, which gives me more elemental resistance.
I'm going to do that's a passive, right?
Yeah, we're doing that.
That's a good idea.
There we go.
And now I can put weird shit in.
What kind of weird shit can I put in this?
For long duration.
What is the duration of scavenge play?
Eight seconds.
We increase that by 30%.
That's not bad.
This will take an additional 20s 20 spirit really no shit
Weird weird
What else can we put on this thing I
I think I think prolonged duration is the right way to do this
Yeah, I think for long durations the right way because now we can do
Use them as one second now it lasts for 10 second 10.4 seconds. I like that. Yeah, let's see how this goes
I'm not seeing that go off quite yet.
For most spirit spells, a necklace with that spirit is needed.
Yeah, I have a chess piece right now that has it on there, and I'm mostly playing around,
right?
Because I've never used a melee class.
I've been a witch for so long, you know?
I got hit so hard I swung in the wrong direction.
I don't know if this is actually changing anything.
I'm a 455 armor.
Did you enable it?
I thought I did.
Yeah, it's enabled.
Uses fragments of armor, scavenge from enemies to bolster your own.
Fully breaking enemies armor, grants you stacks of scavenge splitting.
Oh, I have to break their armor.
I don't have anything that gets breaking armor, do I?
I'd need to swap out Maul to have armor break.
I need to look into that.
Yeah, I gotta break armor.
Yeah.
Our people have lived in the shadows of the demons for a long time.
Countless generations have been caught up in the dark.
We are not...
And if we work together, if we unite, then they will be forced to guard us.
We must show them that causing us off is a mistake.
We must show them our strength, perhaps lead to one thing we don't consider, for all those who live in the plains of the city.
A crush.
Yeah, so I gotta get armor break and after a good armor break, then this is gonna start
working.
Toon Toon Toon out, hell yeah.
I love that slam dude.
It just feels so good.
Do they still have the like the necromancer thing this time around?
the bone pits? Is that still around? At A.R.E. Slaps? It really does. Oh, it still says drops
in the title. Let me fix that. I need to update that on my end. One sec, man. There's no drops
right now. I had that before because, um, Path of Exile 2 had drops going. I fixed it. Sorry
about that. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about that. That's the last time that I played it heavily
on stream there was not drops enabled and I just have it in my command, my auto command
like change categories. It's all in streamer box. I gotta go in there and fix that. I'm just do it now.
We'll go into Path of Exile. We'll go to here. This is drops and then just...
Oop. And now it won't happen next time I play this game. Done. We got ads. It's for frame drops
and all right. All zero of them. Pincom is still high till. I'm happy with that. I'm going to keep
keep that one up. That's fun. You just bounce a breaks armor and let's you quickly transfer
to slams. That's the werewolf ability, right? I kind of want to make a build where I'm just
fully a bear. I kind of just want to be a bear. I know that's weird, but I want to see
if I can make it happen, right? Just bear all the time.
GuyDueMX said chat, we are new Roborus.
We made Thor this way, Thor made us this way, we are our own grandfathers.
Anyway, I have a theory.
Thor is not a member of the fracking 5, but he is part of the fracking 5.
The fracking 5 are android oil pirates.
They steal oil and gas in order to lubricate and fuel themselves.
Thor's name is Pirate Software.
He is the AI software which controls the fracking 5.
I'm not supposed to know. He's in too deep. Get him out. Get him out!
DiDU-MX said, did you know, with spontaneous human combustion, the remains are usually found
sitting in a chair? Praise Chyros. Chyros is why spontaneous human combustion happens.
His overwhelming power flows into the mortal too fast.
and two great quantities. Annihilated them.
Twice happened less and less over time. Biggs chose, slowly attuning himself to our forms.
He knows how much we can take now.
See the tank release in held ebbers? Yes. It's insane.
Savalent with 500 bits said Ya cheer 500 when I say this, I am being serious.
Me and my wife were visited by an archon, whom I instinctively referred to as one of the watchers,
but later some deep research made it clear it was likely an archon.
It made me feel pure free, I could not turn to where it was in my corner,
it felt like it could kill me with a thought and when it looked upon me and me wife we described
it as feeling hunted. We both started as extremely skeptical people, but over the past two years we
We accept you do it.
It sounds very much like my story.
Feels bad.
I don't like that.
I don't like that they're shared experiences of the same thing.
Nope.
Nope.
This is why Winky sits in the chair by the bed.
Yeah, he's actually the avatar of Cheros.
He is his hero.
Where Winky sits, Cheros follows.
This explains everything. It explains some things. And it raises more questions. Any more
armor break. I think I could put the armor break in my bare hands, you know. Hmm. There's
the caravan. Yeah.
Caffeinated Mines said dating a Necromancer can move fast.
All they think about is raising a family.
Thanks man.
MM1MC said Wizard101 cured my time loop, Wizard101 cured my time loop, Wizard101 cured my time loop, Wizard101 cured my time loop,
I didn't even cast anything.
Your counterspell fizzles.
I mock you relentlessly.
Actually wild, dude.
Hell yeah.
Oh, by the way, I have good news.
I have really cool news.
All of the county people are now arriving
and doing all of the surveys of the land.
We are going to likely break ground this year
on the ferret rescue boat.
Which is awesome.
Really, really goddamn awesome.
Yep.
That is the plan, it's to break ground this year.
As long as everything goes through correctly,
we should be okay.
I also found out that where I thought the well on the property was is not the well
That's a natural well spring and the well is a shitty-looking plastic plug on the ground
Judging no and the well man was like that's where that is
Also known as the pee pee poo poo man because he's the guy who figures out the septic
yeah, I
Had no idea because there's like a big cement slab
And I was like oh, that's probably where that is
This has got like water and a slab and...
Nope.
That wasn't at all.
It's just like a shitty little plastic plug.
And I was like, alright man.
Yeah.
He's the pee-pee-poop-oo, man.
Cheros will slowly absorb our souls through our asses.
No.
No.
Cheros...
allows you rest.
He gives you...
blessings.
When you sit.
Yeah.
Ooh, ooh, that one. That one not only gets banned, that one gets reported up. One sec.
Okay.
Why does it take so long to break ground, government? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, all right, Jake. No, it's um, it's government. That's all it is. So we have to get like the government has to approve every action. Basically this, if you have the money to buy a building, the transaction goes fast. If you have the money to build a building, hold on to your butts because it's not going anywhere for several years.
That's it. Yeah. That's that's how it goes local government, federal government, everything
that goes along that. And it's a whole thing. We have to work out water usage right now
based on number of employees. And it there's a difference between full time employees and
part-time employees, number of hours worked, amount of water usage done.
Can the well actually take it? Can the well not take it?
How much gallons per hour is used?
Does another well need to be drilled as a result? It's a lot, dude.
And if another well does need to be drilled, where can we drill it?
Is it allowed? There has to be like water table reports and groundwater,
you know, just all kinds of shit.
There's so much shit that has to be done. It's a lot, dude. It's a lot.
Would you take a nuclear energy? Dramatically safer than a lot of people believe it is,
mostly because we're kind of stuck in the past with the sins of the past with old nuclear power
plants. I'm really interested in modular nuclear reactors, which is something that's kind of newer.
The idea of creating a modular singular small nuclear reactor that can be deployed to rural
areas and just give them an insane amount, right? An insane amount of power, very cheaply
and very safely, which I think is quite cool. You know, I like that. I'm a big fan of modular
nuclear reactors. I think that's to me right now for rural areas that seems to be the future.
So you don't lose so much on transmission lines in terms of material costs, maintenance
and power loss along the lines, because that's just a lot of money. Yeah. I think it's neat.
I'm interested in fusion, but like, it's always five years away, you know, maybe one day.
For now, we have vision. We should use it.
Issues to cooling requirements for nuclear. It's actually not as bad as you think.
I think that the really cool things to me for nuclear are cooling requirements are not as bad.
We have a lot better ways of shutting down a reactor before it goes critical now,
like not putting graphite in the tips, right, smart.
and then also the ability to recoup and recycle nuclear fuel rods, which are about 96% recyclable.
France does it a lot. They have a whole thing for it. It takes a long time,
but you can take spent nuclear fuel rods and get about 96% of the fissile material back
and make another rod out of it, which is kind of insane, actually. That's like a lot of the
the material back. Like imagine if you spent a gallon of fuel in your car and then you recycled 96% of that back into 96% of a gallon. Like, just even the idea of that is insane.
But France does it all the time. They've got a whole facility for it. They're like the forefront of the world for that. It's phenomenal. Yeah.
It's not like that simple. No, it's not super simple. I'm not oversimplifying it. I'm just saying that it is possible
Brance is the forefront of that and it takes many years to do it, but it is incredibly
Incredibly like good. It is a phenomenal like set of research phenomenal like science honestly
But it is difficult. It's not a simple thing. Yeah, I
Think it's cool. I think I think nuclear is absolutely fantastic for those reasons also
It's it releases less radioactive particulate matter than anything you possibly imagine. It's better than coal
There's one plant that does that a single plant it's in France and they're amazing right?
You should look at what they're doing. It's actually really goddamn cool. Yeah, I
Didn't actually release the entire conversation peaceful refugee if you know enough about it, then you you know about that so
Russia does it too? Do they actually? I thought it was only friends. Hmm. I hadn't heard anything
of Russia doing that in school. We should ignore what they say then. What do you mean
you should ignore? What? Nuclear is less of a science issue and more of a politics issue?
I would agree with. I find that to be more of a thing. Yeah, it's kind of sad
Because to me dude energy generation is all about the future of humanity
Let me give a shit about your politics. I care about us not burning the planet to the ground
While we try to progress scientific
Yeah
Is it 98% of recovered materials now? I thought it was 96. Did they improve them?
That's wild because a 96 to 98% increase is a 50% increase. That's a big deal. That's a really big deal.
98 for solar I think one of the worst things that you can do is shit can other generation
energy generation abilities
Because one option exists. I think solar is great.
I also think nuclear is great. I don't think coal is good.
Right? I think there are benefits to many of these, but coal has very few.
And I don't think you have to do solar or nuclear. I think you do solar and
I think people get caught up on that
Yeah, coal is a meme.
It's terrible.
What am I gonna do with this thing?
The tempered myths are really good.
But my gloves give plus in all melee skills.
And some insane buffs.
Man, what do I do with this thing?
I could alchemy it.
Or bevalcame the tempered midst, yeah?
Maybe?
I don't know.
MM1MC said Wizard101 cured my time loop.
Wizard101 cured me.
No, I'm skipping it. I'm skipping it, as you won't do it this time.
Slushberry games with $2 said how do I change from auto using OneDrive.
Seven.
How do you change from auto using OneDrive?
I just don't use that shit.
I don't know what you need.
Lightingers, this would be a really good idea.
I need something.
Do we get anything that doesn't suck?
Straight up armor.
Bronze graves, bronze graves.
Not good.
What's up, Slushberry? What's wrong, dude?
Movement is gang, yeah, movement is enormous.
I have 15% movement speed on this.
Movement is just better. It's better for survivability, it's better for increased
experience game for hours everything I never see a time where I want to get rid
of movement speed it's the best stat in the game legitimately so
they're on pv2 I love this game dude I always play witch though this is my
first time playing a druid and I'm really enjoying it I'm playing a bear bear
What do you got, Rhysu?
A few?
I feel like I could just do random talismans, and maybe get something that doesn't suck.
You know what I mean?
Because my talisman is kinda...
It's kinda old now.
It's got a lot of cool shit on it, but it's also got a lot of shit that doesn't make sense.
level 12. Let me see. I'm level 21.
Insulted as a streamer, obviously to stop streaming. What are you
talking about, bud?
Bro, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Monk was fun till I got to act three. I like witch and I keep
getting my witch tagged for the dying and then I start over because I only fly
hardcore solo cell phones fun the nettle talisman is really cool I need to
just keep doing stuff I think I may actually get rid of this through the
The iron ring?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I need to get a lighting ring as well after.
Yeah, lighting ring is where I'm at.
I just need that.
It's like bad.
Okay.
Trader's Passage.
I'm not sure what it is.
Student in New York made a vape, or if you hit it, your virtual pet dies.
K...
So it's breeding a nation of sociopathic smokers, got it?
And they smoke intentionally to kill that digital pet.
Got it.
I'm glad that we've done this with technology, fantastic.
Smoker got you.
It hurts.
Oh, wait, they're gonna have the poison.
The poison lady is so scary.
I've died to the poison lady before on a run before because they didn't respect her.
That was a mistake.
She's actually scary.
Yeah, token lady.
She's very scary.
But we can get uncut skill gems level six here.
That's pretty worth.
What do we get?
So level six is a new level.
I get Fury of the Mountain, level six, or my Fury of Slam level six, which I already have.
I'm sure the mountain's a way to go.
There's nothing really else that I could use here, you know?
Yeah...
Yeah, Fury the Mountain.
Big...
Squish.
Yeah!
Look at that fire!
The earth cracks are insane.
They're eating me!
The horror.
What the hell are you saying?
Slam the phasers and I rip.
Uncut support chain level 2.
for chat humans in no context what is this powerful beam got him scary so oh wait
All right, so if I get rid of if I get rid of fire to him, but I put armor break on
it to work with scavenged playing, right, or better idea, fire to me on you, armor break
in that and I get rid of aftershock.
That's better.
I like that.
Yeah, I like that so now my slam does the armor break.
This is the way.
Oh, spiders web was my buff.
Maybe that doesn't work.
I'm going to put it on the main attack.
Oh, it's working!
474 down at 455. Oh, it's working. It's working. It's working. Ready. I have six stacks. Oh,
It's totally working.
I have eight stacks.
Oh my God.
600 armor.
Bear.
The longer I hit them, the more powerful I become.
Yes.
This is going to summon some bullshit.
Or not.
Alright.
Keep your secrets.
I thought that was definitely going to summon some bullshit.
It did not.
Surprising.
There's Druids and Wildfought like this.
This is pretty fun, man.
I really enjoy it so far.
The more you slap, the more you can bear.
True.
True.
Does it run?
God, it feels good.
Got so much defense.
That amount of armor increases nuts.
It's actually really strong.
Dr1NKH2O said one million Yacht year, one million Yacht year.
The exam results came in nnnnnnnnnnn
nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
You got a braid of awesome streamer.
You tried to do that
NNNnNNNNNNNNn
It doesn't work on this one.
It just says the letter N, which is really funny.
Yeah
In the old TTS system it sounds like a printer going off
I think I need more health regen.
Oh, oh, it's the crazy spider room.
of
Is that it, we done?
I hit them all, alright.
Another point!
I think I need to take this one and go strength, because then the next point is going to be
10% flat damage increase, which is busted.
Do you not like those large spiders?
No, they suck dude.
They suck the fight.
cover you in webs which feels very bad. Look at all the weird armor on me. Like the game doesn't
quite know what to do with the models on that. So I just have these like spikes wiggling around the
back of my bear. Which is pretty funny looking to be honest with you. It just doesn't quite know
what to do. Web is bad, web is scary. Yeah. I think it stuns you, doesn't it? Am I wrong about that?
of
Ooh, but mine gives 5 HP a second.
It's kind of...busted.
30% is pretty nuts though.
I need lighting resist.
The spiders are just a little too realistic.
They're pretty scary, man.
They're a spooky thing.
Do you guys think that I'm good enough to kill the poison lady?
I feel like I'm pretty good at this one. I feel like it killed poison lady
No, you don't believe you don't believe in me
Can't believe chat doesn't believe
Chat doesn't believe
That's sad
That's sad to know that chat doesn't believe here. I thought chat believed
No belief.
Beliefless and soggy.
We believe in Cheros? I mean, yeah. Yeah.
Believe in the me that believes in you. All right.
Believe, Chet. You have to believe.
You think I couldn't kill her?
You're probably right.
She's scary.
Believe in churros?
I also believe in churros.
Mr Bing 13 said, May you live as long as you want, and never want for as long as you live.
That's an Irish toast.
Bread, eggs, vanilla, nutmeg and maple syrup.
That's a French toast.
They're so ridiculous.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for the French and Irish doses.
Honestly, the armor break is huge.
The armor break is enormous.
It feels really good.
Yeah.
No, it feels really, really good.
You like the Irish one more?
I like both.
I'm getting 20.9 HP a second right now.
Yeah, it's alive.
It's actually shit.
Pirated soft barry with 500 bits said Yarchere 500 it is I, your evil great value clone.
I definitely didn't escape from the basement.
I'm totally not short, bald and tech illiterate.
And I only use food delivery apps.
gaps. I am out, I am free, wait, why is there a platypus with a top hat running towards me?
Don't worry about it. It's fine. Go towards the platypus.
Eldritch underscore crusaders said high pirate soft hair, I understand you are busy with
Hytale and a million other thing all the time. Yeah. Just wondering if you have any idea
when you might have a slot open to try out vintage story. Soon. But something I'm really
looking forward to seeing you experience and how it might shape your ideas for block game.
Yeah, no, Venture Story is actually going to be part of the stuff that I want to learn
soon. Does HP regen matter? A lot. A lot. Yeah. Shield is cool, but like when the shield breaks,
the HP regen saves entirely so, and I have armor behind that. So, but you know, I really want to
play Venture Story because I want to get ideas for block game and also because the dev team was
So sweet to me. They really were and they sent me a cool item in the mail and it makes me want to play a vintage
Story, maybe set up a server for us. So I'm I think on the actual pirates this court
I'm gonna set up one for vintage story and I'm gonna set up a server for it and we'll go from there
And they'd be really good. Yeah, I think be really nice
Hey, I slot bands. Are you actually getting AI generated ads now? Jesus
Sophedopus 259 with 15 Malaysian ringgit said hello Thor
I make art as a hobby and I try to sell as a side.
However, when I check what are the top sellers, many appear to be AI Slop 1 third.
Go to the next one.
Softerpast 259 with 15 Malaysian Ringdits said many say they don't want AI, however AI art
sells because they look pretty, or they were scammed as being human made.
Yep.
Two thirds.
Softipus 259 with 15 Malaysian Ringgit said I've been told that my human-made art suck
and I should stop trying.
It's been so discouraging that I no longer feel joy making art three quarters.
Do you believe that?
Or do you only feel that way because someone said it to you?
How do you feel about art?
Not how do you feel about art because of what they've said, how do you personally feel about
making. That's the only thing that matters. That's the only thing that's ever mattered.
Creativity from the self. It's an expression of you.
So keep making that expression. Keep doing the thing that drove you in the first place.
Everything else is just noise. Focus on that signal. Do the thing that you think is cool.
Who gives a shit what they think doesn't matter what matters is that you're accomplishing your goals
creatively and enjoying yourself if you have to do it out of spite do it out of spite do it
Don't let anyone stop you
legitimately so
setting up the uh... in december for the end december video
shallow pond is happening today
quite cool
the fuel
that's really what it is
Spiders are good fuel for a while, just don't lose yourself in them.
Do what drives you.
If you focus on what drives the imaginary voice in your head that is a detractor, the one that's like,
you're never making, you're gonna be a piece of shit, right?
Like, it's never going to work out.
You have to understand that this is something for you, not something for someone that doesn't like what you're doing, you know?
Sofdipus259 with 15 Malaysian ringgit said I'm depressed.
I wonder if you have anything to say. If this can be clipped into a short to encourage artists, it would be helpful.
Thank you, four quarters.
One of the worst things that can happen to an artist right now is feeling like their work doesn't matter to anyone else.
And sometimes that will be true. There's a whole new classification of people that believe that AI art is better or
Faster or more usable than what a human being can make
But I'm gonna be honest with you
That same crowd of people likely never respected your craft in the first place
So why do you give a shit what they think now?
Don't
,
all right short to set up with the day
I'm leveling fast, get 4 and a half bibs out of this so far.
I remember living in this zone for a long time, because it's just like really good experience.
Is PUE better than PUE 2? It depends.
Depends on what kind of game you like. I like Path of Exile 2 more, personally.
I know there's some purists that like Path of Exile 1 more,
but PUE 2 has its ups and downs, some patches are kind of shit, some are really cool.
This one, I think, is really fun.
I'm enjoying this a lot, and I like the Druid class.
It's, um...
It's turned out to be a lot more interesting than I expected.
It's fun playing in Melee, finally, because it never did before.
That's a beast of one.
Yeah, alright.
We'll do that.
Alright, here we go!
I may die here.
But how can you ever live? Unless you have a chance of dying.
Let's rock!
And you didn't believe it.
Bob-Bullock.
Alright, good.
Nasty boss by the way.
Totally believe to the bear.
Yeah that armor's insane I know.
I have a lot of armor.
But you usually three hits me, yeah.
She's nasty, like she's actually really nasty.
Bear is trucking dude.
Give her to that, give her to that.
Now, actually wait.
Let's do one of these.
Always believe in Bear Chat.
Ah, Volcano.
I gotta go do my ascendancy shit, so that'll be next.
Seattle in the bowl all wild?
I know, right?
That is wild.
All the local people are freaking out about it.
I'm not like a big sports ball guy, so like, it's kind of lost on me, but for a lot of
people here it's a very, very big deal, dude.
For me, you know, it's kind of whatever.
Critical oil's alert popped up and it was about Druids, Druids are awesome.
Pino underscore Milo said, good day pirate soft chair.
Today I heard something nice and is perfect for this TTS.
Oh?
What do you call Mozart's wife?
Mozzarella, seven.
You can't say that.
Why?
God damn it.
You know, sports ball guy, you're a cooking guy.
You know, the sports ball does give you a chance
to cook for the neighborhood.
That is true.
I'll tell you one thing.
There's one thing that I kind of regret about living in the middle of the woods for.
I don't really have any neighbors.
Like I gotta invite my buddies over and then they gotta drive out here into the inner woods,
you know.
That's the only thing that I really regret.
Everything else I don't give a shit.
No neighbors.
Weird, you know.
I live in the woods.
All right, we're gonna go out there in a whining gaze.
It is, Murgle.
The very same.
Oh, Silver Charms.
slow. There. There, there, there.
Casconoidus said I think the future is pairing modular nuclear reactors with data centers.
For once that would mean having a data center in your area means you have more stable power
supply and not less stable. I agree with that.
Everybody wins. Also what will happen first? Fusion reactor or AI replacing programmers.
for tide at three to five years from now.
LUL.
That's true.
I actually think you're right.
Modular nuclear reactors with data centers
is a good idea.
That does make a shitload of sense.
I'd be interested to see more work on that.
Right now, we haven't really seen stuff go that direction,
though.
It's a lot of people moving in the direction of a set
of natural gas, because it's just cheaper and easier.
We need modular nuclear reactors to be a lot cheaper
to operate and deploy his name is slender
mollusk
gross
through that slender moll do
I love how long that ground slam last
Like, it sits around for a while, they walk into it.
But I do think modular nuclear reactors have a shitload of promise.
I would love to see more research and money put into it.
Legitimately so.
Squeezing up.
Just slapping him to death, dude. Just slap him away. Got an enemy? There you go. Bear
hands. Feels good, man. I like that slap you do as a bear. It's pretty good. And then the
like, you know, like, it's just so visceral. Yeah.
True it's fun you'd like to try warrior. I've only ever played witch. I've literally never played any other class
so like
Yeah, I'm an American and I have a right to bear arms as you can see
Feels really nice
WL Underscore Blazkowicz said 4, leader of this that a stinky, lord of the ferrets, master
of the long hair wig, priest of the 7, I need your help, or advice, your guidance, or anything
at this point.
I made quite the big mistake, and I don't know if I can get out of it.
So I was looking for a jacuzzi for at home, but I made a spelling error when searching
for it, and accidentally wrote Yappuzzi.
Now I am in hot water with the Japanese map here.
This is ridiculous.
Another beacon.
A new hand touches the bacon.
It's a very funny joke. You're fantastic.
Forward commands, tense.
Oh, it's this one.
Squished a bloodstone amulet. Oh, I like that. I like me a bloodstone amulet. That's
fun. This is my favorite room because you can just do this. And like, you can just come
back and just keep looting this room. And it's got so many lootables. It's a really
good place to get like free shit, which is nice.
Real sharp.
All right.
Bloodstone amulet. Let's go. What do we get?
I mean, it's really good, but it's not that good.
490 to 528.
And that means we go from
26.7 to 26.9 regen
All right way better than it tell you that much I'll give a shit about that
What's the chicken Brian you recommend with pickle juice? Oh, oh dude
Just get any of your favorite pickles like dill pickles eat the pickles put the chicken in the pickle Brian
Leave it there for 30 minutes to one hour take it out
Take that shit. You will make perfect Chick-fil-A chicken. That is how they do it. They pickle
brine it. And then throw away the pickle juice. Don't ever use it for anything ever again.
Yeah, it's not safe at all anymore. After that, you throw it away.
Yeah, delicious chicken pickles. No, it's great to brine it now. I think I might do
that this week. She's not going to be upset. She loves eating pickles. Onwards. Any more
Damage. Damage comes from levels, no more levels.
Oh, turn into guys!
Heheheheh.
They're all worth XP.
There's so many of them.
You don't want some salmonella juice?
No, I'm not really into it, you know?
Hohohoho!
I'm like a nuclear bear ball
Pericle pickle brine for how long 30 minutes to an hour
So not a huge amount yeah hour at maximum 30 minutes below that yeah
Pickled chicken nuggets. That's not first. Yeah, that's not first at all
Chick-fil-a chicken the reason it has that that particular flavor to it
They pickle- they pickle-brown it, man.
So if you- if you like Chick-fil-A, you like that.
10% multiplicative damage, let's go.
Aliens are trying to contact us? Good.
I hope they do.
I wanna know how I see no tastes.
But don't tell me you never thought about it.
Hmm.
You fry the air nuggets then you pickle them?
Why would you fry it then pickle it?
You'd pickle it then fry it.
That doesn't make any sense.
Uncooked meat is when you pickle them.
it afterwards would be just weird, right? That's like pickling a whole scotch egg. That doesn't
make any sense. It'd fall apart, it'd be weird. What do you want, Sam?
And I held you to an interview? Don't worry about it. Adventures in pickles and eating
zenos. I'd pickle a zeno.
I'd do that in a second.
man I really don't like the idea of doing that like at all actually I'm not doing that
one not yet I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna head out until I can get some lightning resistance
I got a lot of HP now, but I really need that resist.
That's gonna become a problem very rapidly.
Very very rapidly, actually.
What is this?
A new talisman type.
Okay, reliable frenzied talisman, 23 to 38 damage, just off the cuff.
A lot of attacks per second, so it's very fast.
I think I could build something disgusting out of that, actually.
Comes with attack speed like that.
Pure 7%.
So 1.5 attacks per second.
already better than mine at 1.31. I just need to get bonus damage on it in a way
that makes it better than my current. You know what? I'm gonna gamble. Let's game
with this shit. Okay, not bad. Oh wait, I gotta go. I need more
Or, augments. I don't have the right ones.
Yeah.
I need to get...
Regal.
I need to get Regal to bump this one up.
But it's going the right direction already, so we can save this.
Dad, I'm kinda happy about.
This is sort of a name.
Have you tried the Camaro Format any chance?
I've- I've looked at it.
I like the bear.
Yeah.
I need more- I need more currency to go Gamba.
I need more currency, yeah, but the camera is really cool.
I don't think it sucks at all.
I'm gonna add some sockets.
Do we have two sockets in that?
Oh, shit, I think it's two.
Okay, let's start getting some lightning resist, four to six fire damage, 14% increase
physical damage. Okay. Cold resist, fire resist. Just max life.
life and mana 2% physical damage has life leeched if you live on the six has your internet
so solid because I have 3 gig up 3 gig down business line fiber on an SLA so if it goes
down Naomi. 14% increased physical damage. It was a whole part of like, building out
this property to make sure that I could stream and we could run the ferret rescue streams
without having any problems. And if it does go down, it's on them. Business SLA is the
way to do. Do I want four to six? Or do I want 14%? Yeah, business internet is always
chunky chunky I need more ruins that's where I'm at I need I need like
lightning resistance because I don't have any dude I have so low resistances
right now it's it's getting scary I don't like that you have one gig up one
get down. $10 a month. That's scary.
24 armor and that's disgustingly strong. Love that.
Okay, I need to start like boosting these.
50 accuracy rating on a Marshal weapon.
Is this counted as a Marshal weapon?
Is a Talisman a Marshal weapon or something else?
Yeah, it is.
I think 50 accuracy is a really good idea.
I don't know what I'm doing here, but I'm just going to go ahead and do the same thing.
Accuracy isn't that good for melee?
Is it not?
It doesn't matter for melee?
What is it for?
Because I normally do summon and they don't give a shit about accuracy.
Oh, so that doesn't matter to me at all, okay.
Yeah, because I've only ever played a caster.
Like, that's it.
And I've only played Witch and only Summoner Witch, and I've played it so many times.
I think it's a good one.
Okay.
At the top end a little bit for Maylee's hand, he but not needed.
Okay.
That's fair.
So I guess at that point, I'm really choosing between increased armor or something else.
I think I should save my runes right now.
I need to get lightning runes.
I need to put three lightning runes in my gear.
I'm going to socket that baby up.
That'll be cool.
Do you want to see something disgusting that I found during this run?
And I found it live on stream.
You guys want to see the most busted thing imaginable?
You ready for this?
Look at that.
It dropped with four seconds.
It dropped four seconds, which is just like, what?
And I was like, all right, well, that's going to the old bank.
Grimmick always has four slots? Does it really?
Oh, I didn't think it always did. That's crazy.
Yeah, it's minus one all attributes per level.
So it'd be like 20 all attributes to me right now, which is disgusting. It's very strong.
However, I also got devouring that item, like immediately afterwards, and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm just using that, right?
Cause like, as a bear you're just healing every couple of seconds, like, that's busted.
It's just too strong.
It's way too strong now too.
I thought it didn't always roll 4.
The heal's pretty nice.
Yeah, it feels really good.
Is a museum in period 2?
Yeah, I got all these to support them early on cause I really like this.
I bought a bunch of tabs and like, I'm happy to do that.
I think this actually worked out really nice.
It's cool for me.
The game feels good.
I want to support what they're doing.
I feel like I get good value out of it,
especially putting Path of Exile for so long for free.
Yeah, there's a Rune tab you can buy.
I only put them in here, in the currency tab.
I probably will get the Rune tab eventually.
That's a very good game.
It is, and I wanted to support them
because I thought what they're doing is cool, you know?
Man, I just don't know which one I want.
Marshal weapon leech right now seems pretty cool.
I feel like leeching HP is gonna need, but I don't know.
Would PWA be a good first MMO?
It is very much not an MMO.
It is an action RPG and there's no pay to win, which feels really good.
physical percentage in weapon I might just do physical percentage in weapon I've been
thinking about that the iron rune I mean let's let's see where that goes it's a 21 to 44
so like 24 to 49 not that big of a deal adding four to six fire damage definitely a bit better
I probably should have done two of those you know of the desert runes in it but either
why it's just bonus damage you thought it was an MMO it's an action RPG but it's a multiplayer
action or be due but I played hardcore solo self found so I not really playing with others you know
Don joined with two dollars said sous vide the board
Why would you sous vide the board dude? Top underscore T.R. discordant
I said high four. Hope you're having a good stream today. I am. Before I career swapped into tech
I spent 20 years as a gardener and water culturalist. I learnt a lot about plants and their names including all of the Latin associated with them.
You can quite often find out about the plants characteristics who discovered it or is used from the Latin name
It's been given. I'd like to share some of these with you. First off check out the white stem bramble
It seems to have had an interesting use historically
White stemmed bramble
Did not disappoint.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for this knowledge.
SofDiffus259 with 15 Malaysian Lingid said I've been making art and stories since a tiny child.
It's so far back in the past I can't quite remember. It will take time to remember or read it fine.
Yeah, it does take time. Give yourself some time.
We got ads. Hey, give yourself some time with it then.
Ah, let's see.
That's looking good, Jake.
That's looking really good, actually.
Is that a component added to items?
How do we add that?
Mind block from group?
That's an experienced source on a profession.
Yeah, I know, but like, how do we add that as a component to an individual block?
Because I don't want to do that for all...
All blocks in a group, you know what I mean?
Like, they're not all gonna have the same amount.
Certain blocks are gonna give certain amounts of archaeology exp.
Let me see how you did this.
Oh, that's great. Okay, never mind.
I'll just have a billion experience sources in there.
Sick.
That's super useful.
Yeah, that's super useful. A singular block. That's great. Thank you, dude. Yeah, because
I can set up groups this way. They don't have the same amount of experience. So I'll set
up like a like a ranges and then do that range within a certain group tag and then we'll
go from there and then I'll let me I'll build that a lot tomorrow then if you're already
ready for that. I know, dude, that the plant name is insane. The plant name is
absolutely insane. Yeah, reading back through this message to make sure that I
got exactly what you were saying.
And so far back to the point you don't quite remember, it'll take some time to
remember or redefine. I mean, the way that you should feel about a man is
that's, that's time will spend. Don't focus on just where you want to get
Focus on where you're at
Where where can you be one step ahead from where you're not where you are at the end of the road?
Where are you now?
Where can you be tomorrow?
Not a year from now, you know
Give yourself that time be cool with it
Tomorrow I'm playing well, dude fair. That's where you want to be.
Oh!
My health dropped for a second and that was a little bit scary.
Exalt the work. Love that.
Give to me the exaltates.
Wonderful.
Oh, it's evasion. Don't care about that.
I have never made an evasion rating build, and I'm gonna be honest with you, they scare me.
It just doesn't feel like something that's sustainable.
Dodge Bear sounds really scary, dude.
My god. They exploded in a boost of fire.
of
and
squished
So much weird loot in here, you know?
None of it good.
Sometimes you get like legendaries and shit in there.
Sound like the Wraith Ghost of Burning Crusade.
I can see that.
There's a lot of like modification of the voice on the vocals there.
So it sounds kind of like robot it out a little bit.
Well, I clunked it, you know?
I just love the slam on this.
Like, it just feels...
really good, you know?
Ah, another one.
Not more.
I have never felt so fearless as I have playing this bear character in Hatham Exile.
I always play class that's so fragile because I play witch.
And now playing the bear, I'm just like...
My hubris is growing, you know?
Like I feel the hubris. I can feel it.
I feel the hubris, Chad. And it's a little concerning.
I have a bit of a concern.
Chests have 15% more item rarity.
That's kind of sick, just in general.
8% increased effective temple mods from garrisons.
Can't do it there.
bronze works the guardhouse and then maybe
just do that now run the dump slowly but surely building yeah who bear is my
who bear is GCTR underscore Crowley said in my life I've discovered there are three
things that are the hardest to say. One, I'm sorry. Two, I was wrong. Three, Worcestershire
sauce.
It's wash your sister sauce. Obviously. Hey, this dungeon is the same level as me. So
Oh, I'm gonna get a lot of XP for being here for the top.
That's a big if, though.
I have a little bit of a concern.
Whoop.
the septic visitor rival window man it's a different it's a different thing
today there's another guy who's showing up today
that is in another scanner that's terrifying lightning guy scary I don't
I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it.
Whoop.
Nope.
Come on, man.
But it's for an item I can't use.
It's a shield. And I can't use shields.
That's unfortunate.
Got hair like deep in my ear. How does that there? That's a cool-looking shield though. I've never seen that one. I
don't think about it
This room is so cool
The work gem... okay. This is disgustingly powerful. It is insane. It allows you to
to get another support gem slot early, which is already insane, like it's really, really
insane. Yeah. And now I can figure out what I want to put on that, which is cool. Should
that be safe for any game or something? No, because it increases it to three and you normally
wouldn't even be able to do that right now. Yeah, like early on you wouldn't be able to
do that. You need that room in your lab? It's pretty goddamn cool.
Oh, look at that! A blood medallion! I think I've got something in here about those.
I don't even know what that is. Yes! This will come in handy for exploring the temple further.
Let's see what we can do with it back at the console.
Okay, that's new.
I don't even know what that is. I've never seen that. But all right. The temple just keeps getting cooler and cooler
When do they add this to the game?
Exteriority this patch it's so freakin fun, dude
Like it really is a very cool system, and I'm very excited about it. I've been having a blast
You found the source of what, man?
Why is that from a Twitter account called Aquine Gentist?
The source of what?
What is this?
Wow.
That's a beefy thing.
The source of the sauce? What is this?
The sweet and sour sauce? God damn it, dude.
You sucked up.
DROVAC 007 said, hey Thor, I read something yesterday and had to share it with everyone.
Oh.
Horror is comedy without the punchlines.
I don't know if I believe that one.
I don't know if I believe that.
Thank you for the sweet and sour sour spiderweb.
Insane behavior.
Straight from the horse's mouth, goddammit.
Look at the A.O.E on that.
There.
I'm gonna get a level soon.
This is really nice.
Wait, it's here too?
Am I even supposed to have tier 2 shit yet?
I don't think we're supposed to have that shit yet.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh, I have to swap to this.
Because that's a lot of bonus-
However, I'm going to lose 31 Spirit, which means I'm losing-
I'm going to have to lose scavenge plating.
is fine. But that's a big boy armor. So lose lose that. But we'll gain this. And then I'll
make my armor go from 54 to 60 baseline. I'm losing fire resist. Is that worth it? That
might be worth it. Yeah, because if we go down here to armor, 52%, yeah, that's worth it.
Yeah. Sucks to lose the fire resist sucks to lose the life regen sucks to lose all that,
but that's just disgustingly strong. It's very, very strong. It's okay. I think that's
It's worth it personally because my defense, my armor is actually elemental resistance
as well, technically.
Very nasty.
Too many of them.
All right, 12% increased physical damage done.
Become bare.
Is an exalted workbench in there too.
And something called a hall of war is the name of this room.
What do I do with this?
More?
No.
No.
More?
Rare Equipment with the new random modifier.
Is that not enough?
It's already at 6.
My man!
I like that.
my man I like that
he's having a free modifier slot yeah it's true I don't know if it did
He's teleporting and I don't like that
Yeah, I really don't like that he's teleporting around and getting weird.
game. That guy's got a lot of HP, man.
What the hell is that?
There's too many adds.
I keep pulling this guy around.
Not good.
Too much teleportation.
Come on, man.
I feel like I earned that Legendary.
He's a nasty dude.
He's a nasty dude.
Alright man.
A body armor legendary, huh?
And something called a forging mechanism, which I don't know what that is.
Adds an augment slot to a martial weapon wand staffer armor.
I think I should hold on that one until I find it.
The thing.
Nasty fight.
It's funny, because someone said Z DPS, that guy just, he was very strong, dude, yeah.
Cause like, I'm definitely not zero DPS.
You can take it?
What do you mean you can take it?
You can take it as a currency warp, really?
Oh.
Oh, okay, so it just does it that way.
That's a little bit of room.
Yeah.
Okay, we're doing this again.
It's hurts the bear come on man god damn dude
I am getting slowed to shit by something and I don't know what it is.
He's got a Hinderora.
This may actually be a problem.
I need those adds in the middle to be dead. There we go.
Come on.
The Hinderer is very scary.
Come on, man.
Alright, we're gonna have to chill for a little bit.
Got to chill, chill, chill.
I got a regenerating health potion, so it should be fine.
And I just got to chill.
It's really cool if that would, like, go in a direction that made sense.
But it doesn't seem to want to do that.
Is he chillin'?
We chillin'?
Is that...
What's she doin' over there, man?
What do we do it?
Oh, we just...
We take it a break?
Okay, I guess...
I guess that's cool.
Alph
Rushed him, that's a good one, he's going to keep brawling.
In their fortune.
Fall!
Score!
Now!
Inter-memory.
of
The round you can choose for me.
One!
And let us see who he means.
I'll look for a storm!
These guys are getting a little bit spooky.
It's getting a little bit spooky.
I'm gonna be honest.
It's getting a little...
Get a little scared.
I start to hurt.
That was a ferocious roar.
What does this do?
Empowers one attack per 8 enemy power in range.
Counting up to 64 power.
Gain 2 rage per enemy power in range.
Empowered attack and attacks break
123 armor and hit.
Okay.
That's kind of cool.
I like that.
I'm strong.
Yeah, give me that. Just put more sockets in that.
Cool.
Uh, I don't even know what that does yet, but I don't even care.
Scream enemies into submission? Yes.
I do love screaming at enemies until I die.
This is really a scary dungeon now.
I've made something that's a little spooky, I have to say.
It kind of freaks me out so far.
It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, and I'm starting to get nervous.
Which is good, because that means I'm right where I should be, you know?
I feel like that's exactly where you need to be in Path of Exile.
It's right where it's like, uh-huh.
Is that a ghost, bro?
That's the tech.
There's the tech.
I need to go south.
Temple's not yet complete, are you sure you want it?
Ooh, that's the grift, is it?
Okay.
I thought I could leave it any time.
That is not accurate.
Shit.
Okay.
Time to collapse all my garbage.
It won't reset, you can leave him come back, and why would he give me the warning?
You just have to run through the temple.
Oh, okay.
So I'd start back at the beginning of the temple, effectively.
Another frenzied talisman.
Hmm, those are cool.
These guys have a lot of HP, man.
Can't no focus.
Oh, we got adds.
What do we do with this?
That one's done, that one's done, hmm, hmm, morning scared you too but it doesn't reset,
that's good.
Steel underscore generation with 500 bits said greeting pirate soft bear.
Did you know that in Washington state, there is a nature fund for the protection of swamps
and other wetlands?
Yes.
Weirdly, it's funded entirely through a tax on the sale of any depictions of horses sold
in the state.
No, it's not.
They call it the R-tax.
That's not true.
They do have protection of wetlands though, but it is not the R-tax.
What happened to Jeff?
He's an Orbeza's.
That's what he is now.
The R-Tags, I swear to God.
You guys are goblins.
Goddamn.
I don't know which direction I want to go from here.
maybe pick up all this armor. Maybe pick up this health regen, 0.6% max HP. I just don't
know. Elemental ailment threshold, max of energy shield, max of armor. I just don't
know which way I want to go. There's a lot of shit I could do here. Oh, the stun buildup
is a pretty big deal. I think these three, that one doesn't matter. This one, that one
and that one are just kind of big. And then I could do an energy shield boot. And then
that'll give me tons of armor. Bro, what is that curse thing that I feel like that shouldn't
even be an emote on twitch I feel like putting that in my channel means it's
not like gonna be one anymore yeah more tank that's exactly what I'm going for
I said that's a wild emote dude
all right we're gonna go find another boss I filled this thing with bosses I've
made a mistake let's use man boss
Oh, he's like a boss boss. He's got like a big health bar.
of
you
Crush the man dodge every attack crush the man
Another point. 30% more physical damage.
This is getting a little brutal in here, man.
Is this like the new endgame activity, even though they give it to you right from the beginning?
there we go that's a that's a wild emote that man
still blows me away how that could even be onto a bitch
I think the pregnant Sonic one is pretty weird.
Where's it Mega Man?
Yeah, it's the pregnant Mega Man one.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
It gets weird, which is a weird place.
Oh, shit.
He breaks armor.
of
It's getting rough in here, you know, you ever just...
You ever just feel like it's...
You feel like it's getting rough in here, maybe a little bit?
You have no life regeneration.
But the armor is so big.
Oh, but the armor is so big.
But the armor is so big.
It would have been really cool I think ancient secrets lay there the armor be
so big no why have you done this don't put Frank a man in my chair
Jesus Christ life generation per second is 22.2 we get zero now that's so grim
That is so grim, but the amount of the defense goes from 59% to 73%.
We just can't.
This is not worth it.
We already have all those.
Is there anything else in here? Rare equipment that we need? No.
No.
Are we done with modifiers?
We might be done with modifiers.
Holy shit.
I think I'm done with modifiers.
Okay.
Can we put that in there before it's identified? No.
Whack.
Oh my god. This place is starting to get scary.
Is your toon's name Bering? No, it's Pirate Soft Bear.
I'm anything but soft as a bear though. I'm terrifying at this point.
of
the
of
of
just melted him. this absolutely annihilated that guy.
That one was nothing.
I like that the shot rears the bear back up on his two legs so you can immediately go
into a slam.
Because the slam adds 0.4 seconds to the cast time if you're not already standing so you
shout into which is just very nice like it just feels really good yeah I love it
absolutely loving it
all right
hello friends
squish
The temple is done.
I have finished upgrading the magic item to a rare item, adding one modifier.
Okay, what can we do for magic?
You become strong, critical hit chance, cool.
And then we can take that over to one of these other ones and then buff the shit out of it.
Yeah.
Honestly, man, I really think that these dungeons are starting to become the scariest part of the game.
Like, straight up.
And I think that's very cool.
Why is that not working?
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't know what's going on there.
I don't want to look at it.
It's going to slip through the wall.
It's fine.
Yeah, they're really starting to become the most difficult part
and my favorite part.
So I've been having a blast with these entirely.
No.
Oh, this one actually makes a magic newer rare.
Guess we do that.
Dex, you.
Yeah, you.
We got PA-2 before Division II.
Did we actually?
I don't know if we did.
When did Division 2 launch?
And when did PUE 2 launch?
I don't remember.
Pretty sure Division 2's been around longer.
Maybe.
Did we just do away before PUE 2?
Yeah, I was going to say.
I was like, I'm pretty sure.
Pretty sure the vision 2 has been around for basically ever.
Now I get to find out what the hell this blood thing does.
All I can add is a treasure vault now, huh?
Okay.
I'm going to go back into my lost temple and go fight that treasure vault, yeah?
Oh wait, my placing unit is now gone.
And it does not exist on the map.
Okay, so it only exists the next time I go through, I guess.
Interesting.
Some nasty shit in here.
Okay, you go in the stash, you go in the stash, never to be used ever again.
Got it.
You do that map instead of the vault?
Yeah, but I didn't know how to use the thing.
There's like a thing that I had to use.
What a sick run though, man.
Division 2 was fond memories for Thor by the time that I started watching a stream a little
over two years ago.
I love Division 2.
I love that game.
You're waiting for P.E. 2 1.0?
Fair.
Yeah, I think that's a very fair thing to do.
I've just been having a blast playing it personally, but it's like down to do you want to play
a game that's not complete, complete yet, you know?
and that just comes down to your personal interest
nope mine's better than that
and
do
uncut skill gem level seven
area slam
big slam time
an iron room. The lesser iron room is pretty good damn good.
21% cold is kind of a meme. Let's exalt that up. Lighting resists, again. Not bad.
Not amazing but not bad. Bonus physical is not a bad thing at all. 2345. I need one more.
Oh, you don't even need to do that. Just click on your own name, man.
If you want to know how long you've been watching the stream, like somebody's been around for a long period of time, just click on yourself.
You've been following since December 29, 2023. Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that a cool system.
getting no health regen is kind of scary wait what if I use the armor that
gives zero health regen but I have the helmet that consumes a corpse and heals
me right on YouTube you can't do that no it's over on twitch only
right because then I can get 700 armor off of my made off of my chest piece and
I don't think that passive regen is really doing a lot for me and I could
change my bill I changed my build up completely wouldn't I because like look
at this thing 766 armor 28% increased strength 10% reduced
It doesn't really matter, right?
Yeah.
Why shouldn't I wear the armor of the gods?
Look at that.
Look at that.
59%?
73%.
Armor?
66% reduced.
Damage from elements?
51%.
I'm going to save this one just in case.
But I feel like this is gonna be fine.
And now, what are my resistances?
Dog.
Okay.
I need, I need resist, Bruns in here.
Wait.
14% increased armor.
Oh, but no, that's not gonna be multiplicative with that, is it?
It's gonna be additive with the 443, isn't it?
Increases quality?
Fair.
Yes.
99 team either 71 71 75
God damn.
God damn.
Yeah.
He never reads YouTube the A's learning while you like this.
I think that's enormous.
Yeah, but I'm trying to think about what runes I want to put in the armor.
I definitely don't want to do an iron rune because we're at 443 increased armor, so adding
another iron rune is just going to add another 14%, right?
Sort of worthless.
Fire resistance is big.
That would be cool.
Lightning resistance is what I need, but I don't have a single one.
Max HP. Are there any healing abilities? Yeah, I mean, my helmet eats enemies and then turns
them into health. Forming. I have no health regen because of this. So now I gotta rebuild
this because I've got, I've got some points like these ones now that just don't work.
like these don't do anything anymore I wonder if the recoup works none of these do anything
now though I guess the 5% damage ones do but the region does nothing outside of that so
So, shit.
What can we do here?
These are important.
I feel like I could drop...
The skill speed feels very good.
I feel like you could drop all of this and I can instead go to increase damage.
Area, area, like area damage there, critical damage bonus.
Like this seems to be right.
What if I go this way and just get all the armor and then go across, but this is a lot of damage.
That's a lot of damage.
Konami did a big dumb.
They removed the Dinovo DRM, all need to replace it with Enigma DRM, users are saying that
they have lost 10 to 50% in 10 to 50% in performance for Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Jesus, dude.
That's wild.
Recoup still works.
You can also invest in Life Leech.
Yeah, can you tell me more about this?
What do you mean Konami?
Wrong name?
Yeah, I was going to say, you meant Capcom.
Okay, I was going to say Konami.
I was like, when did they work in Resident Evil?
I was like, wait, what?
I'm going to double take that shit.
Okay, so if I go up this way, there's four allocations here, 1, 2, 3, 4, and that brings
us back around to that, and then we'll have the same thing.
I need to remove some of my talents, so I need to talk to the booby-claw.
Oh, damn it.
Yeah.
It'll cost me like a thousand gold, but I lose all the shit that I just don't need because
it's health regen.
We don't care about that anymore.
And this gives a lot more just base damage.
I get 24% more base damage.
No, 34% base damage instead of 10, and I get increased area damage, which I think counts
for my slam and critical damage bonus.
Which is kind of cool.
It almost makes me wonder if these even matter at this point.
Do these matter?
Maybe?
It feels like they do.
What is this?
Fire damage?
Fire damage doesn't seem to matter.
There's melee down here with stun build up.
That might be useful.
It seems pretty far away though.
Skill speed, skill speed, no.
I am completely beholden to corpse healing now though.
Does a health potion count as health recovery?
As health regeneration or does it count as a health potion?
Is that separate?
Uh, Sam, I release an update every month.
The last one came out seven days ago, but you can now use, you can still use health
potion.
Okay.
I have a deep concern about this, but I think this is going to be overall more damage and
more thank you.
It's just going to be a little bit of a change because it was relying on health regeneration
and I just won't have it anymore.
Right.
I wonder if going down these will be good now because these are like percentage or
Farmers, like that one and that one there, from this.
Skill effect duration, increased stun threshold, that's on me though.
So I get stunned less often.
I think that's good on these, I think this is a stun threshold there.
Yeah.
Hey, it's just wrong about the name of the company, it's fine otherwise, it's not a big
deal.
I also kind of wanted to build all the way up to this bear paw thing.
And there's another thing down here that I found, Lord of the Wilds.
You can equip a non-unique scepter while wielding a talisman, 50% less spirit.
Non-minion skills have 50% less reservation and efficiency, which is really interesting
Having like an offhand scepter while you're using a talisman just seems really good because you could get like an aura, which is huge.
Or you could do minions in some way, you know.
Yeah.
50% less at reservation efficiency means they cost more. I think so. I think that's what it's trying to say.
Yeah.
I'm gonna try this.
It's a big it's a big shift from my normal play. I'm a little bit worried. Wait what? There's shit. I
Got rid of
What what is going on here
Does anyone understand what's going on there?
Because that's definitely not what I had selected is that a bug
Cool
Yeah, I didn't like me doing what I was doing. That's fun.
Have this useless gold.
Gotta crack in it!
Stay inside!
Boo! Both of these are big boo.
Knowledge is the real currency?
I don't know dude. I feel like currency is the real currency.
I
Have a deep fear of my current build we're gonna find out how it feels
No, actually I need to
Need to do this
No one
V-Box is the real currency. I don't think so. I feel like that's false
I don't think I take the image anymore.
I don't...
I don't think things hurt now.
Shit, I don't...
I don't think things hurt anymore.
I crush them now. Yeah.
Yeah. Who needs, who needs resistances? We just need more armor. We just need more armor.
Is this camp at 75? Is that camp? I don't know if that's camps. It's about the bottlenecks.
True. I don't know what the camp is for armor.
Overconfidence is a slow and city skiller.
Yeah, but my hubris is big enough now.
I feel like my hubris is large enough.
A death now would be hilarious.
You know?
I'm using my bare hands, yes.
You know what I mean?
Just...
Oh, wait a minute.
I think I understand.
I think I understand what's happening.
This does bonus area damage.
I'm pretty sure all of my attacks are area.
It's A-Wee.
Everything is getting 10% multiplicative damage increase.
Okay. That's busted.
Big fan of that.
I wonder if there's another way to get through this.
Do I even need this?
Hmm.
Little fat of it too, yes.
AvrathSATX said, hey Thor, I previously mentioned that my mom had been in the hospital since
before Christmas.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, she passed away Wednesday afternoon.
I can't thank you enough for having been a positive place where I could take my mind
off everything and enjoy something normal during all of this.
He's doing what you do so well and thank you again.
No, thank you. And I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
That's really rough.
It really is.
And I hope you're doing okay. Even knowing that you're probably not.
And that that's okay. You know?
Yeah, it sucks, man.
Oh
Battle fever
Alright, adds are over. I think I'm going to go down this way next and get Battle Fever.
Because it's 30% physical damage and then another 25, so 55% physical damage and 5% skill
speed and then maybe maybe go this way there's a whole bunch of armor break here
I don't know there's so many different routes there's all this armor here to
defend with 120 percent of armor against projectile attacks so projectiles end up being
more defended against. Plus 20% increase armor if you've been hit recently.
If you haven't been hit, if you have been hit, that's crazy. What's new in PWE? I'm playing a druid
and the druid is wild.
100% more maximum rage, regenerate one rage per second or four rage spent recently. No rage effect.
hmm some weird shit in here I'm gonna do Lord of the Wilds
I'm gonna do Lord of the Wilds I just have
so many ideas now basically in plain druid
and it's getting weird the build is starting to expand into something very
strange
And I've dropped all my health regen because I don't need it because I have so much armor.
I'm just like a god of armor because I found the Pigeon Chest and it's kind of insane and
And I love it.
And you don't need Regen if you don't bleed.
That's true.
And I'm definitely not bleeding, you know?
But like, look at this.
919 armor.
Are there other animal types?
You could turn into a werewolf and a wimer, but I'm playing bear.
makes me real tight. Yeah. Yeah, just remove all your blood and then you can't
bleed anymore. Exactly, you figure it out.
Smug Rainbow Pony with 500 bits said you know, I really like the UI frame elements of this game.
The Gothic Stone release between the actual information elements. The statues next to the gauges.
Most apps and games recently have grown too. Empty, Heartless, Distilled Bled designs down to Seraphil
spawns in rounded corners, sand it off every edge, and reduce their identity to colors and
lodos. This is good, the potion fitting in an alcove is cool. I want to make cool UIs like this.
Do it!
I don't know what this thing is, but it's definitely dead now.
Oh, it was one of these little bosses.
It was a vol boss.
It was kind of cool.
I dig that.
Horrifying.
Yeah, it had blood and now it no longer does.
I do love my beautiful Scottish accent bear.
Yeah, no, I really do like the UI, you're right.
One of the things that I think is fantastic about it is look how it's reactive to the
mouse.
You see that glowing on the health orb there?
All of the assets along this, they glow and shine as if the mouse was a light source.
Which I just think is a really, really nice touch, like all the buttons do this.
That's like not something you'd ever think about, and it's not something that is like
normal to do. And just looks amazing, honestly. Yeah, it's an unnecessary but beautiful detail.
Exactly. I think that the UI in this is great. It really is. It's just so over the top, you know.
Winters added something similar for its UI and it looks really cool. Yeah.
Yeah, it does. It shows pride in the work. I agree with that.
I actually think that I'm becoming the god of bears.
I will continue down this path.
More armor.
of
the way to do shit
I remember playing this on my witch and being terrified of all the melee guys and now I just
don't even have to care. This is crazy. It's over, dude. The boss didn't even, like,
I hit him to the final phase before it even got there. Yeah, like, that was, I pushed
him out of the phase before he even got to the phase, you know, like, I don't even know
what to do with it.
Yes, skill gems.
Sockage the skill gem into the thing.
I don't even need this.
Whatever.
York?
Bear's goat.
Bear is powerful, dude.
Bear is broken.
And I'm loving it.
Legitimately loving it.
I need... I need runes though, that's... I'm hurtin' on that.
That's like becoming a problem. Very rapidly.
Because it's don't have... I don't have the runes that I need.
I need the ones that are like...
Lightning resist.
That's what I'm after right now.
I need a lightning resist ring or lightning resist rune.
Like I just need lightning resist and it's... it's like starting to become a problem.
Is Caravan will fit 50 humans for one... or one bear?
You got it, damn right.
Yes, the Shrine of Bones.
No, I gotta do the Ascent, don't I?
Trial of Secumus.
It's Secumus time, dude.
Those tempting 14% armor, they're not multiplicative, though.
They're additive, and this rune, or this item already has 443% armor.
So it's just not, it's not good.
It'll add into that and be very dilute, if that makes sense.
I'm really glad that his voice changes based on the form that you're using.
With more armor.
Hello friend.
Yes, yes, yes.
Balbala.
Balbala!
Bop bop bop bop bop
It's time.
Yes, give me the thing.
I'm ready!
Bear is strong like bear,
and kind also like bear.
And bear also like bear.
Bear is very much like bear.
Oh, crushed them all.
I just realized I have to worry about getting hit because I'm a melee.
I never do worry about them as a wish.
Honor is going to become a problem, isn't it?
Yeah, I've never done this place as a man.
I usually get through this place without losing a single point of honor.
Because I'm on a summoner witch and it's just trivial cool what happens if you run out of honor do you die
Or do you just go back to the beginning?
The mechanic is not fun
Personally
You are thrown away you don't die so I don't lose my hardcore
When you run out of honor at the bottom this
It counts as a fail, but not as a death, right?
Zero Honor does not count as death.
Okay.
Oh, you gotta go there.
Let's try all these the fun ones give me the elites.
I love this music too.
Off we go.
Give to me this key.
A golden key.
Alright.
Reminds you of Diablo II?
Yeah.
Yes.
There's a big reason for that, and it's because they're Diablo players.
Diablo kind of made the genre, and then Path of Exile went their own direction
and made a lot of really cool shit that we've never really seen in this genre.
They did a phenomenal job of it.
Got a direction we've never really seen or felt before,
and made a lot of unique stuff.
I feel like Path of Exile innovates dramatically more than Diablo does.
I didn't even lose a single piece of honor.
Silver key, I guess it is, and then Bronze Cash requires a bronze key to open.
No, it's not good.
Lose all sacred water and floor completion doesn't really matter.
That's fine.
Yeah, honor saying high is good, yes.
I agree.
I'm probably going to go with the honor restoration reduction.
I'm going to get a redo.
I'm going to get a redo.
I'm going to get a redo.
I'm going to get a redo.
I'm going to get a redo.
I'm going to get a redo.
They're gonna get in any area it's open
Lost a little bit of honor there, but it's fine.
Got to dodge everything in melee, huh?
A little bit spooky.
I went from 9, 10, 9 to 6, 85 there, not bad.
What's causing you to lose honor?
Anytime you take a hit, you lose honor.
You have to play perfectly is the whole point of this.
We'll go this way. Rewards of Shrine. Rewards of Shrine to restore honor.
We'll go that way. Yeah, it's dangerous. You only need one honor to finish. You do, but the boss fight, you're gonna get hit a bunch, so.
My giant fat ass is no longer a benefit.
Thread the needle.
Alright.
I'll turn you to scrap!
I think I should have gotten hit there, but I didn't.
Actually, I don't need to use the pledge, do I?
I don't need to have a pledge, do I?
In any way.
If I don't do this pledge, I don't gain the debuff, do I?
Or am I I'm gonna do the pledge
Take 167 damage after completing eight rooms we gain three minor boons
We just take physical damage
hmm take 19 physical damage on room completion that's fine oh no that'll do
damage to me won't it it'll take it'll take damage off of my stuff top one's
free it is I'm gonna do the top one 50% increase on a restored you can see an
additional room ahead on the trial map trap steel 50% reduced damage not the
Best spoons, but all right.
It did not take me to the one that I wanted because the mirror.
Nice, didn't lose anything.
It's a scary place in here, man.
If I were to get hit by that, I would have rolled.
Yes, on a restoration.
Perfect.
I didn't think I was actually going to the right place.
Um, bronze cash.
Let's do that.
Hey Thor, what's up dude?
It's a terrifying run.
It's a good time.
I haven't gotten hit still.
of
All right, here we go.
We're all the marbles.
Let's see what happens.
Every time she says that, I think she says the forehead is formidable.
The forehead is formidable.
Thank you, Bobala.
You're the best.
We're gonna about that not good
I'm going to stand up.
I forgot they blow up.
Alright.
Neat.
Oh, your Barrett's all forehead.
You're not even wrong.
It is very much so forehead.
Okay, I have a golden key.
Choose the Ascendancy.
I'd see what these do.
That's kind of crazy.
Benefits of Bonded Modifiers at Runes and Idols?
Which is Bonded.
Some modifiers in Runes and Idols are only available to players who have allocated the
Shum Wisdom Magi Ascended Notable.
rage. Every two rage also grants one spell damage. No inherent loss of rage. Regenerate
6% of your maximum rage per second. Increases and reductions to meta regen rate also apply
to rage reduction. Rage regeneration rate. Skills up plus five to rage cost plus seven
to max rage. Okay. Avatar of evolution. 5% of physical damage
takers cold, fire, and lightning. Adaptations have a duration of five seconds. Double adaptation
that thing. Plus 3% of all elemental resistances.
Plus 10, 10% less elemental damage taken, adapt to the highest
elemental damage type of each type, each hit you take 10% less
damage taken each elemental type during our per matching
adaptation.
Okay, which one is for... being a bear, right?
What is this?
Wait, wait, what?
You see what is and what might have been.
a suite of oracle-only passive tree nodes after ascending as an oracle?
What is that?
Wild, dude.
Enemy critical hit chance against you is unlucky.
Damage of enemies hitting you is unlucky.
Unlucky things are rolled twice, and the worst result is used.
That's interesting, because they can see the future, yeah?
No Keystone Passive Skills and Medium Radius of Allocated Keystone Passive Skills can be
allocated without being connected to your tree.
Non Keystone?
Wait, so if you do a Keystone, it gives you all the ones in the radius?
Is that what it's meaning?
I'm not quite sure I understand.
Next outcome is 100% crit.
Hits which could potentially be a critical hit, but do not roll a critical hit will re-roll
critical hit chance until they succeed.
That's crazy.
You have to spend skill points.
Okay.
Moment of vulnerability.
That's not my thing.
Aligned Fate
While active, Visagers of Yourself from alternate timelines will occasionally appear and cast
one of your spells from your first Valid Weapon set.
Until the next Visage appears, your next cast of the same spell aligns your fate empowering
that spell.
Visagers can only cast non-channeling, non-buff spells you could cast that have no cooldown.
It's the matching spell before the next Visage Empowers it.
Empowering spell deals 30% more damage.
Okay...
You just see yourself from alternate timelines.
Hit damage is taken from mana before life if your current mana is higher than your current life.
Weird.
Wait, wait, Grants of Passive Skillpoint?
You just get two more skill points.
This is weird, dude.
I don't know if I want to go Oracle or if I want to go Shaman now.
I feel like elemental resistance is disgustingly strong.
I feel like reactive growth is very powerful.
Right?
right? 10% increased defenses. Armor evasion rating and energy shield are the standard
defenses. Other protective stats and resistances are not counted as defenses. So that would
give me 73% armor up from 71. That's very strong. Yeah. It's free real estate. It is
kind of free real estate. There's a lot of hidden passives for rage, slams and armor.
I just don't know what I want to do with this. So like if I do the way that I feel like it would
just apocalypse do. Build glory by hitting enemies with elemental damage. Okay, we wouldn't be going
that route. That one doesn't make any sense. This is like the cast through rut.
I think I would be doing the avatar of evolution and the furious wellspring, right?
And maybe even wisdom of the magi.
I don't know how many points we need to get.
Whatever you do have fun, yeah.
Oracle allows you to access 136 hidden passives, bro.
What?
Does anyone have a list?
I'm going to use the bathroom real quick.
I've returned, and I'm eating.
They just called Tank Girl a retro movie, I'm dying.
I got to meet the main actress from Tank Girl at a comic convention and got her to sign
a picture of Tank Girl of the cover art.
I have it somewhere in my boxes.
Goddamn movie.
I also have, um...
I think it was the same comic convention I got the original Batman.
Old school Batman.
I was very young.
Yeah.
I think it was like 18.
Oh.
see how old she is now yeah Lori Petty
oh thank god I was really worried it would say was but now she is she's still
around that's awesome yeah I was very concerned for moment I was like oh no
I agree with it. Yeah. 20 years ago? Yeah. Yeah, somewhere around there. I think I was
was like 18. I was pretty young. When did Tank Girl come out? Tank Girl came out in 1995.
Oh my god. Dude, I'm ancient. I'm ancient. It's over. It's so over. I'm going to go this
out first get the elements or resistances and then the adaptation
I stand with the elements and they with me yep
keys that's weird those are up above it now gold royal cash give me and I have a
key? I thought I had a golden key. Oh, no, I did the thing. What key is the way to have?
I got one silver and two bronze, huh? Let's go. Boots, cash. And then we'll go relic and
war
need
use that
by god he's done it
Simon burn roblox after they made an announcement adding jen ai to the game
and
the hell
It feels like it's shitting itself Oh, that's why it's shitting itself.
That's not carrying persistence of login between Twitter.com and X.com.
Roblex prioritizing shareholders over creators is not surprising at all.
They're public company and that's their duty.
If you want to understand the direction the company is heading, don't look at the marketing
aimed at the creators.
Read how they talk to investors versus how they talk to developers and artists.
And investor communications, the focus is on scalability, efficiency, margins, and AI-driven
growth.
The creator-facing messaging toward AI is often avoided entirely, replaced with vague
buzzwords like real-time dreaming or 4D.
That disconnect is calculated.
The strategy is clear, though.
Leverage developer and artist content to train their own AI labs and reduce dependence on
human-created UGC over time.
Whether that future arrives in two years or ten, the direction is obvious.
At the end of the day, platforms under investor pressure look for ways to scale content creation
without scaling payouts.
visible in earnings calls, investor decks, hiring patterns, and the language used, depending
on the audience. Creators should pay attention because the story told to shareholders contrast
with the one told to them. What do I know? I've been on both sides, a successful UGC
creator and now as a UGC game platform. I met with many of the big companies you can
now think of and was part of the many discussions on monetization and business strategy for
those businesses. I know this space from the core. I started from absolutely nothing and
worked through every aspect of the business. But hey, this is my personal opinion.
That's bonkers, dude. Yep.
Yep, I agree with him entirely so. I really like Simon because he doesn't give a shit.
yeah that's it why you hate in blanky lol the list I can find a build with the
passives allocate no I don't want that I just want to play around yeah I honestly
think this is fantastic though I got one thing in Roblox never had profits
which is a pretty heavy flex
Yeah.
That's wild, dude.
I honestly think that he's going real hard there and it's good.
I really don't like that Roblox is being advertised all over Twitch and I wish there
was something that I could do to remove it from my channel, but there isn't, you know.
And that just sucks.
So, I get it.
Yep.
Like, I'm not making anything off that, they're just advertising in here.
Which is not the best.
Yeah, there's a Roblox button on top of Twitch.
Jim the dandy!
Who paints emoji, man?
Yeah, to be clear, just so you guys understand, I am not advertising Roblox.
That is Twitch doing that, and I'm not getting any money from it.
That's just the platform doing whatever the hell it's doing right now, so do keep that in mind
Not a fan of that
Yeah, I'm not getting anything for that
It's a platform ad and a platform ad we don't make any money off of dude
Exposition 33 dives have been knighted by the French Ministry of Culture.
Really?
I'm not surprised.
It's a really big deal for France, dude.
Like it's a really big deal for France.
So hell yeah.
That makes sense.
Good.
Oh, I gotta go and actually regenerate these one sec.
Yeah, it's really cool, man.
good. Imagine making your video game and getting knighted for it. Wild.
I need something.
Speak out!
I've got some trinkets.
This could be useful.
Oh, it's so good.
It's such a good one.
That's it to the old bank.
That's a good reference.
Fury of the Mount.
First message, like games so good they changed global perception of France as a country.
Yeah.
They did.
They actually put France on the map as a country that can produce great works in the gaming space,
which wasn't really a thing for France before that.
Not really.
France produces very good film, phenomenal film, but French film.
Film that is not widely accepted in many parts of the world because their storytelling is very different.
It's very French, right?
I really like it.
I like things like Amelie.
I loved Amelie, you know, really cool shit.
You can see a lot of really amazing animation, come out of there too.
Fifth element? Is Fifth Element French? I don't think it is.
Is it?
It is. I didn't know that.
That's cool. Didn't know that.
Yeah, the ones that come to mind for me are triplets of Belleville and and Amelie.
Those are the two big ones for me, right?
I didn't even realize fifth element was French.
That's cool.
I think it's actually really neat.
Yeah, it's very American cinema it is.
Yeah, fifth element is triplets of Belleville and and Amelie are very not American cinema.
very different city of lost children oh that's three lost children's red his wife
did crazy singing lady part I remember correctly really the one with the like
the blue you know I'm talking about technical lady that was his wife it's
kind of cool
that's really neat yeah Leon the professional that movie I knew that was
French but now there's there's just a lot of really good French cinema there's
not a lot of well-known French video games so it's a totally new like area of
media like really for France to be recognized and to be I think that's
Yeah, it makes sense they night you know like you put France on the map. It's a big deal
Played in an affair with the moon now
And Ubisoft dude, I'm gonna tell you this right now
Ubisoft needs to live for just a little bit longer all they have to do is produce Division 3 once they do that all bets are off
I don't care anymore
That's all I want. It's all I don't care about anything else
They need to live damn it
After that, they can shit and cry violently. I don't care. But that needs to happen.
It's cool they knighted the devs.
Dude, I don't take any damage at all.
This is getting crazy.
This character is unkillable now.
I've become a golden god, chat.
The hubris!
I can feel it.
I can feel the hubris.
Yes.
Yes.
Are there harder difficulties?
Yes, as we go forward.
Slowly but surely.
Had a huge breeze.
You just have to understand where it's at, right?
Like it's getting...
It's getting strong, right?
Your hubris is leaking it is.
It's hubris all over the floor now.
Hubris...
Hubris all over the video game.
Hubris on that boss. Look at that. Look at that guy.
They spent all that time summoning him and I just two shot him.
The hubris.
Two turntables and a microphone and hubris.
Here it is, guy.
Go on.
Go on.
Did you get Hytale now? Will you keep it after launch?
Absolutely, yes.
You keep that for the rest of your life.
My god, it's like a nuclear bomb and barefoot.
Is my favorite class though.
I think you've broken me of the witch.
I actually think that I'm done.
I think legitimately I just want to play with, like, play Druid now and I just don't even care about my witch anymore.
I've been playing Summoner Witch since Peewee won.
Heh.
Heh heh heh.
There's the first part of the relic.
There it is.
Need him both.
My god.
Is that a hyena centaur?
That gets weird, right?
I got all these weird elemental shields around me now.
Or is being his own summon?
Yeah, I don't need to summon anything more.
I just need to exist, like, on the screen.
You know what I mean?
Now...
It's incredibly rude.
Not nice. Not a nice man, you know?
Strength or bewildering.
High Unitars?
Yeah, there's a lot of them here.
And I just kind of have to slap something and it just dies, you know?
And I release a gigantic bombardment of death.
Armors down to 74%.
You gotta keep gaining more.
You still summoner or summoner of power and death?
True.
I'm mostly interested in how this boss is gonna go, cause doing the spots on my witch
was actually kinda tough.
And remember, I only have 6% lightning resist, and I'm still walking through enemies' gas
of
I
Jesus
My defense. Yes
running 74% armor right now because I found a chest piece it's busted check
this shit out 919 armor 28% increased strength and no life regen but then
this eats a nearby corpse it gives me 20% of my max HP pack every three seconds
Do you think PE2 is more fun to play in less time consuming than Path of Exile 1?
I'd agree.
Yeah, I would say that, but I'm gonna be honest with you.
Why do you want a game to be less time-consuming?
If the time-consumed feels fun, it doesn't matter.
Alright?
I'll spend all the time in the world playing a character.
And to be honest with you, this character will eventually die and I'm playing hardcore
so I just delete the video.
First time we're talentless, let's see if it holds up.
The race has stopped! Let's finish this!
of
So anyway, I think it did really well
Felt good
See how my HP's not going up by the way. Watch what happens when I kill something
It's back to full
Watch this
It like eats the corpses every three seconds like that one that gives me 20% of my nice HP back
That's the helmet
I love that the first hit knocks the item out of their hand and the second hit kills
Yeah, Herion Bear I guess. It's kind of grim. Necromancer Bear I guess.
Why was there a checkpoint here? It's kind of a weird spot to put a checkpoint, right?
A little bit odd. A little bit of a hungry barrier.
Not a mini boss, but there should be like a pit here, yeah?
There's supposed to be like a...
Oh, did I not actually pick up the tusks? I gotta go back and get them.
That's dumb. That's dumb and funny, actually.
of
such an insane ability
that
yeah I think I forgot to pick up the tusks
on the way back down there
Can he just not drop those?
Did I hit him so hard he didn't drop it?
Because I don't remember them being there, right?
I'm pressing alt, there's nothing there, man.
I think I killed him so hard he didn't drop his quest item, dude.
No, I didn't ditch him.
They're like big.
There's no loot filter blocking it out.
I think I actually just bugged it.
I think I unironically bugged that fight, man.
Neat.
We'll just kill him again, whatever.
Yeah, straight to the Shadow Realm, exactly.
Isn't there supposed to be like the...
the like undead pit thing or is that only for which in this zone?
Yeah the abuse pit is it still here?
of
It's in the masted on Badlands, is that the one?
Send this one back here.
Do a voiceover where of a where's Waldo book dude, maybe
Things is like no audio event. At least not like very little text
Still developing or just gaming I worked on block game for like eight hours today, man
We did a whole bunch of design work stuff.
It's quite fun.
Also released an update for Heartbound seven days ago.
Next update is if they're going to be today or tomorrow for Heartbound.
Yeah.
We got ads.
Yeah, either today or tomorrow for Heartbound.
Hit him so hard it didn't lead to his gear, exactly.
I heard your name, hello, where's one of them?
The detailed description of every image on the page?
Ending with the process location model?
Smart Rainbow Pony with 500 bits said oh is the QMT.
It is.
And it was.
And it is again.
Alright, be gone Bezos, 15 seconds.
I wish you could assume the ashes of craze game. What do you mean assume it?
You mean like play it more?
Yeah, I mean like
It sucks dude, but like
That's what happens to the director and owner a director of the game of the owner of the company lies
Almost get out of it. This is me off. But there's not much we can do there. I've been be like
Oh, you mean me on it?
No.
Kind of funny for that.
Like that's, their burn rate was 800K a week, dude.
Which to be honest with you is likely due to a lot of mismanagement.
But I don't, I don't have that kind of money in place.
That's like, I don't even know.
That's like insane.
Yeah.
$800,000 a week.
How many employees do they have? 250.
So it's not unlikely. It's it's quite a lot of money. Yeah.
Is there any more marketing and design people? No. They needed
more QA testers. And they needed less design.
I'm still wondering if that's how many people are actually
working in there.
Because it's just so many.
And here we go.
What would you say versus PUE 2 or Diablo 4?
It would have been Diablo 4, but I don't think that the storyline of Mofish though made
any sense to me, and I feel like they fumbled that.
And I think that the reason I like Diablo is because the prime evils and the deep darkness
of the prime evils, and it felt cartoonish.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, because like I love Diablo, I love the Harajrim, I love the Prime Evils and I just
don't feel like M'Kisto was done very well personally, you know.
And I think the Pandavex has done a very good job of creating interesting build diversity
without sacrificing gameplay in any way.
And it just, I don't know.
Just the obelisk doesn't feel right for that.
Felt heavy before, before it was just boobus eccubus.
A little bit boobus eccubus.
I agree with that.
I really liked her story though.
I think Lilith's story was beyond just Bubba.
I think that her manipulation was very cool.
I liked the way that that played out.
The blood curse and all that shit was very cool.
Her fight was awesome.
Her fight was very cool.
Mephisto's wasn't though.
And that just seemed out of place, you know?
I think the reason why is josh muskera
Diablo 3 was in a really shit spot and then josh muskera became the game director and he brought it back to it's kind of like dark
Like grim dark roots right for Reaper of Souls and then he was the game director for Diablo 4 and
Before it launched he left which means his influence was there for a lot of what we played at launch and then it's slowly been
drifting from that since and that's kind of why I feel that it's weird is why
that drift happened is because his influence is gone yeah
where'd he go what to go do his own shit he left the company I don't actually
remember where he went
I think that's something to note is, games aren't made by companies, they're made by people.
And when those people leave, the influence and the storytelling style that they have
that is with them.
And I think that's exactly the case for Diablo.
Josh Muscarra to me cared a very great deal about that grim dark fantasy that was Diablo
in its core.
Well that America just doesn't feel the same.
Yeah.
Is there a good Grimdark sci-fi ARPG that's not wearing a 40k? Grim Dawn?
Grim Dawn is fantastic for that, I'd have to say.
I think they did a really good job with that. Very, very fun. Very Grimdark.
Yeah.
Like I play a lot of action RPGs. I really like Rindon. I really like...
But what the hell was... there was another one that we played recently.
I want to play... there's one that we played during in December and I can't remember the
damn name of it. It was frickin' cool.
Yes, yes, Flirking Creature.
Hello, hooded one.
Put it in my brain!
All right, 7.
An unrevealed, desecrated modifier into the slops, I don't have any of that, not yet.
Yeah, not yet, but soon.
Hey, we're building Grimdon? I haven't played in a long time. I have not played in a long time.
I would not be able to tell you that right off the bat.
It's got a nice change there. I think I should probably roll that one.
or the balcony don't do me wrong oh my shit look at that plus two to the level
of all melee skills my dudes that's busted that makes me excited yeah well I
gotta roll some more I got exalted three to five physical is not bad it's not
terrible it's not good but it's not bad
yep 30 to 49 right now mine's 24 to 49 but mine has 15 to 30 fire damage
kind of a lot
I will need to keep upgrading this but it's already a very good spot you know
Really Grim Dawn is getting a huge UI over here?
Really?
Overhaul?
I don't even know why I imploded there, it's speaking.
No, wait.
599.603.
Yeah.
Overview, overhaul, imploded, brain.
Well, I guess at this point, I'm gonna need...
What am I gonna need here?
Cause they got an essence now.
Holy shit, facts of the 20 gifted subs, my dude.
That is a lot.
That is a lot, a lot.
Jesus.
Thank you very much.
I can make a C-shirt down.
I have a video on my YouTube all about it, but Stephen lied to all of us.
That's what.
He lied to everybody.
and I wish that was not the case but it is he had investors he claimed that he
didn't and he lied to everybody that's nice it's incredibly upset
suppose my current Druid item in my hardcore solo cell phone run has a
level 28 wyvern build.
And at the end, let me look.
The pain leash.
Plus dude, all melee skills nice dude.
Yeah, mine is got plus dude all melee skills as well.
And it's 151 attacks per second.
So it's already busted.
I think I might just use mine.
Mine's got more damage per hit though.
but a lot less hits. I need fire damage bonus is what I need. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this time
the Phoenix isn't coming back. It sucks man. Like it actually does. I thought we were finally
getting a social sandbox that was devoid of corporate influence and pay to win bullshit
And instead we got a liar.
And he lied about investments and as such the company
fell to the same corruption as every one of these other goddamn games.
Just sucks.
Yeah.
Really sucks.
And I feel very bad for the developers that are still stuck inside there
because we get to talk to them all the time.
And I talked to them earlier today, actually.
Yeah.
They had 215 employees in total.
The value doesn't account for contractors who are all in Canada and are currently
being told there was no wage theft them by one lawyer.
Hopefully they're going to figure that part out.
The contractors in Canada are not covered by the Warn Act.
There's going to be a lawsuit.
Thankfully.
Yeah, I'm talking to one of the devs right now.
But, um...
Yeah.
They haven't been paid, the devs still haven't,
Even though they're under the Warn Act and have to be paid for the next 60 days.
Determination letters that they receive from their HR app have now been pulled,
so a lot of them can't even apply for unemployment correctly.
And they keep receiving emails from this new board,
but they're all AI-generated and have no legal backing and keep saying weird shit.
It's really bad, dude. Like, it's real... Like, it's...
Yeah.
This is straight from one of the devs, too.
We know it's a dev that we've talked to for years
that has worked there the whole time.
So it just pisses me off.
Is there a way to tell how much damage I'm about to do?
Attack time, 0.5.
Attack time, 0.58.
It's kind of huge.
Press G. Is it only in there?
Oh it is. 524. 522. Oh my god.
That's actually more DBS.
Haja01 said prepare few old gamers. The Konami code turns 40 this year.
269.
Because of the plus two melee skills, this is actually better.
Ha ha ha!
What a beast! Holy crap.
I can't get these runes out of it, can I? Even if I salvage this?
Yeah.
Thank you for those gifted subs. That's incredibly nice of you. Thank you.
Yeah, if I salvage this one, we'll get him back, right?
Runes are gone. There.
Nuke it.
I smell the artificial shards then.
Cause then we can do that and that and then I can put cool shit in it.
Like increased physical damage by a percentage.
Delicious.
Yeah, delicious.
No 40?
No?
What do you mean no 40?
What?
You okay?
Yeah, cool shit, exactly.
And then 4 to 6 fire damage would probably be a really good idea
Most likely they old
They old
Maybe I'll wait for more iron because this is all cure physical right now. Oh
The last TTS. I was so confused
The Konami code does turn 40 this year god damn it
Okay
You're an evil bastard. Did you know that?
What is it like?
Is it like being as evil as you?
There we go. 28% fire at least.
You're the cryptkeeper? Keep those crypts, dude.
I have so much. So much more.
let's see armors at one one five three one four five two disgusting
and let's find out why that thing blew up I don't know why that happened
Bear shape indeed dude.
I'm only playing bear and I have this just wicked strong weapon.
Look how much faster it is.
Ohhhh.
Don't do it, Dora!
The bears got heads!
Love it.
Yeah, exactly!
It feels really good, man.
I'm really happy just like, just building this build out has just been fun, man.
Jesus.
He's just a boxer, you know?
Yeah, Rocky Bear Bella, dude.
It's just the slap over and over again.
He's a literal beast, it's true.
Man fights like an animal.
Neither birded, nor...
D.A.V.S.
He hits so hard, resolver and mess.
Actually and so.
VVVA with 500 bits said hello Mr.SoftHair.
Hello?
Josh Moskera is apparently game director at bad robot games and the game they are working
on right now is called For Loop.
Steam link incoming, warning, HTTPS colon slash slash store dot steam powered.
That's where he went over to?
It's called For Loop?
Let me see what the game is.
Because I really, really respect Josh Moskera a lot, I love what he's done.
You're a crew versus an alien invasion, Ardzar you're going to die a lot, thankfully that's
all part of the plan.
Wait, are they all clones?
Okay, they weren't clones, I was like wait a minute.
Cool looking game.
I'm interested to know what the gameplay loop is like.
Oh, I love the, look at the armor.
Dude, I'm going to tell you this right now.
If Josh Muscare is working on this, it's probably got some amazing gameplay loops.
It probably does.
And I would be very interested in playing this.
Also, is that a skill tree?
Yeah, all right.
You got me.
I understand.
I'm going to link this to chat because I trust him a lot.
I saw the passion that he had for Diablo very much so, so I'm going to, I'm going to follow
that. I'm going to follow that. I want to find out more about it. I had no idea he was working
on that man. Thanks for letting me know. I didn't really follow it up to find out like
where he'd gone, you know, but I trust him a lot and I think that his ideas are fantastic.
Is Sony involved? It said PlayStation, which is weird. I don't know who's actually publishing

After what they pulled with Helldivers 2, I was very, very unimpressed.
So yes, that is a factual statement.
I am not a fan of Sony, I have not been a fan of Sony since they did that.

but it's still under Sony.
It is a brand difference, and it's still under Sony.
It may have different directions, which is why I need to find out.
It's like...

My Faxauron, gamer, possible future developer, lost hair long ago pun master.
Saw your short about apologizing to those whom you said may have been influenced by
your enthusiasm of the game.
I will say again, not needed but appreciated, I myself only got it to be a part this most
bodacious community.

And I don't think I've ever killed the elephant first, and I'm going to always kill the catastrophe first.
Or close, close to each other.
I have no idea how that happened to you a long time ago, too.
Really?
I'm gonna try to kill the elephant first this time and we'll see.
I may also just be killing it too fast.
Looks like PlayStation Publishing deals with porting PlayStation games to BC, so it may just be that.
Which I think that is more acceptable.
I just don't want, like, weird bullshit.
Is that game already out on PlayStation?
