I
Hello
Good morning everybody, it's cold
Is that a treasure train oh man
Let's see if Twitch will allow me to do the bit gold today.
Come on, Twitch!
and
I just woke up. I just woke up.
There we go.
That's finally worked.
The big goal is finished.
Alright, that puts us at level 12.
Hold up.
I just broke the hype trade.
Ha!
There we go.
Breaking things is early always, dude.
Oh my god, the height here doesn't set.
resetting the digital inside.
here are mine the widgets where did it go
there they are
holy shit man
That was in the wall with the 20 hole, my man.
and
Good to go.
You guys are wild, oh my god, level 16 dude.
I'm not even awake yet, I'm answering emails from the contractor.
You guys are insane.
Last boss, good morning dude.
You guys are amazing.
You guys are absolutely amazing.
Humor factory was 50, dude.
Holy shit.
and
almost some of the signal
to have to go to stop the force of the stream
Oh my god, you guys are wild.
Holy crap, burning at with another 20.
Main donut with 10? I haven't even started yet. Dude, I'm writing this email.
You guys are wild.
Look, I exist now. I exist!
Right faster? I know, right? It's just a big ass email.
I also have this delicious enchilada goblins are extra active this morning it's wild
thing we were promised glue by who is it treasure trainer hype train it's a
hype train that is a treasure
So, what do you think of that?
You demand payment for glue?
You month promised?
Chronos promise doesn't blow.
Well I heard that.
I heard that if Chronos doesn't give you glue, you get to turn him into glue.
Yeah.
What is this Roblox got community?
Oh yeah, this shit is dumb. Yeah, no, no, no.
I made fun of it already.
Yeah, I already made fun of it.
Because literally their first real-time dreaming part of their video
is, um, stolen Expedition 33.
That's all it is.
It's just stolen Expedition 33 models in their real-time dreaming.
It's just my own.
Yeah.
That's all it is.
So I was like, I was like, wow, with this new technology, you and your fellow slot operators
can create experiences such as scuffed Expedition 33, a melting penguin.
Because they have a 10 FPS melting penguin in there or flying bird blob Sky Island simulator.
It's just theft.
straight up there. That's all it is. But that's just, that's just stolen my own. Yeah.
Like,
Let me grab this.
of
the
gets literally just mild
which is crazy that they thought that would be okay
as you could just pull this one
Heh heh heh.
Uhhh, it's just like a scuffed version of my album, they going to using AI, man.
Yeah, it's the Expedition 33 Teemo, dude.
How blind am I without my glasses? Very.
Holy shit.
Seven?
Seven adds?
With the 50.
My dude.
We're now at level 18 hype train.
What the hell?
Holy shit.
That is actually bonkers.
That is...
What's going on here?
The Twitch community is going wild.
Also, what the hell?
They changed the mod icon on YouTube?
It's kind of like an ugly shield now, yeah?
There used to be a wrench, man.
What the hell is that?
Yeah, it's a little blob-like, right?
It's a little bit blob-like.
Yeah, Twitch mods have a sword, YouTube mods have a shield.
It's a little bit weird, right?
You ever played any RPG Maker games?
Yeah, yeah, actually, I have, like,
one shot was made in RPG Maker.
It's kind of wild.
awesome game. Kind of looks like a cube, but it's kind of just blobby. You know? You guys are wild.
One shot with this RPG maker, good. Welcome to series so sad about ashes. Yeah, it sucks.
Yeah, look at this. It even got community noted. The beginning of the video is stolen assets
designed from Claire Obscure Expedition 33 by Sanfall Interactive. It's wild.
Yeah, it's even calling it out directly. And this is directly from Roblox, by the way.
Like, that's completely insane, man.
Why would they even post that? It looks like shit, because Roblox doesn't have any common sense anymore, man.
The shit does not make any sense anymore
Well, it just doesn't the shit's dumb now man
So yeah, they did that and then this
where like the penguin is like melting into itself the whole time like if you
look at this the penguins is constantly like melting and and merging and like
doing weird shit with its head and runs it like 10 FPS and then this one which
is like a weird potato bird that's flying where the rider has zero animations
And then doesn't know how to land
So like when you try to land it it just like like the background is all shitting itself and
Like that whatever that just did
It's it's just really bad man the whole thing is really bad man
it's not even the worst thing is is this is this is actually insane because it
looks like shit it looks insanely like shit Roblox is this just a future no
epic games being done again not surprising that's a day that ends in
Why man?
Whoop
Yeah, bro, we have Expedition 33 at home and robots the train is leaving this is it
It has ended the high training at level 18 with 325 subs and 4712 bits.
Thank you very, very much.
You guys are outrageous.
It was incredibly nice of you.
Thank you. Yeah, you guys, you guys are awesome. That is wild. Not what I expected at all for the
morning. So thank you very, very much, govins. You guys are great. So with the news for the day,
yeah, yeah, you got this from Roblox. They wrote a gigantic thing
of real-time dreaming, which is a fully playable video world made in AI.
And the first thing that it did on their official post, by the way, official, Roblox official,
is that it stole video and models from Expedition 33.
That's just my L.
It's just stolen directly from Expedition 33.
But done wrong.
It looks like shit.
It's like Expedition 33 made with Play-Doh and bad animations.
Which is pretty insane, to be honest with you.
Like, that's not...
It's just outrageously bad, dude.
It's like comically bad.
The next one is a penguin that's constantly merging in and out of its own face at like
10 FPS.
Makes no sense.
And they immediately cut from that because it looks so bad.
Then you have this, where they clearly feel very proud of this because of the fact that
they stay on this for so long.
Character's not animated, bird thing is not animated, the wings are constantly morphing
and shifting and blending into themselves.
The environment doesn't know where it is, so the moment that it gets off screen, even
for a second, it changes, and on screen it even changes, as you could just see right
there that whole mountain range is just gone, and now it's an island.
Disembarking causes the bird to melt off of the character, and then he runs out into
the air.
This is pretty much the worst example of a technology that I've ever seen, and Roblox
is so proud of it that they just ship this onto the internet all at once. So, um,
but be honest with you,
it is, it is fine to make fun of them for this.
I'm just going to make fun of them constantly. This is stupid.
This is like the, the shittiest thing that I think I've seen them do at
ages. Maybe Rolex is doing it. Ironically, I got it.
I think that's cope. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's just cope, dude.
This is just it's really shit. It's really shit. It's just theft and shit. So yeah. No, no, I
Yeah, to be fair dreams do have acid trip effects. Let's go, dude. It's just
Sandfall should say something I I honestly think that if sandfall said something roblox would never
recover. So good they should.
I've seen that the bots are taking over hell divers too. No, I'm not seeing that.
Honestly, this is crazy, though.
Also, all of the people that are like, I understand the criticism, the first websites
in the internet were also trash.
My dude, no.
The first websites in the internet were handcrafted to look as good as they possibly could at
the time.
This is being created through hallucination, through AI, that is stealing direct models
and assets from other games.
There is no comparison here whatsoever.
he's just theft done wrong even if it was done right it would still just be
theft
I love I love the amount of people like in five years it's gonna be kicking your
ass you said that five years ago my ass still intact
It might have been kicked since it last time.
No it hasn't actually.
Although there was an AI that hallucinated a 10FPS shitty version of my ass and then
tried to kick that and instead flew off the screen.
It's pretty good. Don't worry guys, it'll get there in five years.
Wild chip.
We love a wheat of testing archaeology, didn't we?
Yay!
Ooh, I do love a roundinger.
Mmm, rounding.
the
Yeah, it's all gonna get moved over to the hide, yeah.
We will need a hot pop up for that.
I need to pull up the asset editor for this.
There's wheat maxing paying this man.
Oh!
Let go bro.
World building is the least of our troubles right now to be honest with you.
way way way the least of our troubles. We're trying to build all of our core systems first.
Building and shit comes later. Have you got tool use and not to pick up with
that figured? Yes. We have to do a tool restriction system, but that's pretty easy to do. Using
their their basic functionality you stay I know it's real-time dreaming from
Roblox thing got to get it right
and
So, basically, you'll pick up all of our stuff that we have under Blockgame, under Server,
and we've got it under... I want to see the typeless asset stuff. Yeah, block typeless
asset, we don't have anything for that. Our element system is in here, I need to add the
other elements. We don't have anything to the projectile yet. Nothing for that yet.
What did this get put under for the EXP curve? I wish it would not show folders if they
were empty. I think it's one of the weirdest things that this thing does.
Jake did you start playing with world configs is that what this is the gameplay config file because I hadn't set this up yet
Someone made a Nintendo switch to DS
Oh, that's one of your first things you made. Okay. I was like, what is that? Yeah, apparently it's still in there
It's like I didn't do that. How was that a
Switch to DS was even mean oh
Oh weird.
It like like folds out
That's kind of cool to be honest with you like it completely folds out of itself
Yeah, that's actually really neat. Yeah, I don't hate that. Red. Dude, your RAM prices
died for that Roblox video. Are they sued? It's China. I would not not buy that neither
Here would I, and the reason why is because the foldouts would probably break really rapidly,
but as a prototype it's quite cool.
I guess you'd said not twice, so I guess you would buy it, but I wouldn't buy that.
Prototypes get weird.
What's the point though?
The main screen is touch?
Let me show you.
Let me show you an example of why you'd want two of these, two screens.
Both of which have touch capacity.
See this game?
This game is Etrian Odyssey, and the way that you play it is on one screen of the DS.
You would draw in the map, or the other screen you'd play the game.
Phenomenal game.
Awesome as shit.
Some of my favorite games.
And brutally hard.
They've adapted it for PC, but only for the first three games.
My hope is that they adapt the other ones.
But this was uniquely suited for that kind of split-screen gameplay.
Those screen stuff worked.
Yeah.
Those screen fraughts, honestly, would be amazing.
Yeah.
And the thing is, is when you give developers the chance to have two screens like that,
they'll try other stuff.
Like, they'll do things like this that you just haven't seen before.
Awesome games.
Really goddamn cool.
damn cool. LG Wing, which had a second screen, never played that one. I don't know anything
about it. An MMO from 2023 on Steam, born again? I don't know anything about that. I'll
have to look that game up, dude. Heep. Alright.
Rime axolotl with 500 bits said greetings for the bonus man.
It's us again, the axolotl taxolotl revenue service.
We just finished training our new squadron of taxolotl collection agents.
B. Very. Afraid.
You can see a snippet of them in action in the block game modder's channel.
We look forward to taxolot season coming up soon, we're using that money for world
GENB2 shenanigans, so it's very important so that we can have floating bastions to collect
taxes with.
Crazy the axom this year.
What?
Oh Jake, we have a difficult one now. Are you ready for the difficult problem?
Because they tied in recipes directly onto the items themselves as a hard-coded component.
How do we get experience for crafting something?
These really need to be optional modular components, man.
They really do.
Bread?
Yeah.
I don't actually know how we're going to hook that, man, because, like, the recipe's on
the item.
It's not on the bench.
So, you know?
I got nothing, man.
All experience sources you get is mining blocks, killing stuff and harvesting plants, fair.
You're not using the F to harvest, are you?
I'm hoping not.
Wait, what?
Amazing.
Yous have to harvest for disabling it.
Thought this was Hytale it is.
This is the asset editor for Hytale.
If you've never seen it before, it makes sense.
This is how you modify items inside of high-tail.
So we need to figure out how we're actually going to be tying experience gains to professions in a way that is sane.
Because right now you can do it for gathering professions, but we've got to find a way to do that for crafting.
I think the only thing we can do at that point is ask them again like,
hey, can you make items, not this monolithic hard-coded thing,
instead make it so that it's modular in some way?
Because we can't really add functionality to items as it is.
We need a mod just one modular component to like change shit out
That's all we need one modular user-defined component
Nice shirt, I love the hits hit the story of the bond they share and I write it's about permanent friendship, you know
Friendship that will last a permanent bond
togetherness
What's this bread for the mods not for the mods?
Interesting that they have that
Okay, you got the entity stat type in there for EXP Archaeology, we can go look at EXP
sources on this, we've got Harvest Crop.
So this is the new block game profession system that you put in for parent, let's see, it's
It's got parent profession, let me look at profession here.
Yeah, parent profession for this.
Experience curve is professions,
so that'll pull from our curve,
which is this.
And you just submitted all the values
from our curve system.
Okay, that's fine.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's an easy way to do it.
I could dump all of those in JSON as well.
Let me actually go look at the source
and see how you have it structured.
Very easy, stupid easy.
It's just one big list.
That's easy, easy shit for me to modify.
If we go back into parent professions,
it's just using that EXP curve, max levels 100,
prestige can go over the top of that.
So that's cool.
Stap modifiers, is this on a per level basis?
I know this is not yet implemented a million times,
but is this where you're gonna have that do it
on a per level basis?
You're just gonna have them increase that stat.
Because we could hook that for like skill XP and shit,
you know, yeah, all right.
I don't know if that's going to work in there, that'll have to be, I guess it's the parent, so that'll have to be for archaeology itself, stat modifiers will be there.
The stats that affect the amount of experienced player gains at the time of this profession.
Okay, that's cool, because we'll do it, we can do that with a damage and everything like that, that works.
I have a little bit of a concern around this one, right?
If we have this set only as harvest crop,
how do I define each individual crop?
Do we have a way to define each individual crop?
Like the difference between say wheat and beetroots.
How do I change the amount of experience that you get
between those two different block types?
If it's just set as an experience source of harvest crop
with the minimum maximum set right here, hard-goed it in.
Can we change that in an individual type?
Yeah, that should be there. Okay, I was going to say, I thought you had that in the prototype.
Because if we have pipe harvest crop, there should be block ID.
I know that's going to be kind of shit because we'll have to do like an experience source for each and every one of them.
Um, might be a little bit worried about performance at that point, maybe not, maybe it'll be fine
because it's not going to check every single one of them, right?
It's just going to be like, hey, this block went off.
Yeah.
It's not going to check the whole list.
It's just going to, the block will be the thing that defines it.
So we're drinking our glue.
Yeah.
The only concern that I have here, Jake, the only one is that when you break a block,
is it checking all the professions after that?
Or is it doing a direct call to that profession and immediately being like,
Hey, I get XP because if we're searching that list and we just keep adding blocks
to that list, that might get very not performant based on number of players,
a number of blocks being broken per second, if that makes sense.
That's the, that's the only big concern that I have.
I don't know how you have that structured performance wise.
Ideally we would have a dynamic item component and add it to that and be like, this gives
15 archaeology experience.
For now it checks all professions, that's what I was worried about, yeah, I mean ideally
what I'd want it to be is if we go to like, um, like an item and then a block of some kind.
The block type. Oh, come on. There's a block in here. There we go. We go like block for
my hope is that eventually they'll just let us have a dynamic component here and we just
add our dynamic component. The dynamic component is when this breaks give
of, like, you know, archeology experience, right?
And that's it.
And we just pop it in there onto this thing,
but they need to break this up.
You know, I was thinking about this too.
I would like that.
Yeah, we just need a dynamic component.
That's all we need.
And I've requested that from them, you know,
like, that's really all it is.
And Budakat respond with this.
Yeah, the last thing I said was items being a bucket.
or all item functionalities super weird, um, should would be better to have a component
that defines the item block weapon armor, et cetera, could be a sub component that defines
what the item does.
Kind of like interactions do
Yeah. Yeah. How long is the game going to take? Take you think? Well, reporting from
block game Minecraft. So it should take months because there's still a lot of discovery and
shit that we do every day.
delighted to ask on both youtube and twitch bro what?
I need this.
my delicious breakfast
and
So yeah, I think, I think what we can do here, like I'm basically going to reach out to Budacat again and let them know because like the way that we can implement this is cool, but it's not like super efficient.
And my hope is that they improve items to allow for that because if we can get item components and this all goes away and we don't really have a problem.
But in the meantime, I can hook up a bunch of stuff.
Is this for all harvest crops?
Do you have that setup for everything?
What?
Wrong crop.
and
All right, so you have it hooked for everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, for right now, you have it hooked for every single crop that...
We'll have to get that changed.
We max our NRA.
What is this?
Hello, Meat Tree. Good morning, dude.
Survival where the lava rises, but the lava is floor blocks. That's horrifying.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Alright, so we can add different modifier steps.
Let me actually go look at block game professions. See how I have this hooked up.
What was that under?
It's under block game professions. Block game profession.
redundancy this is the level range for that that's proficiencies for this
reputations on this yeah that's fine this has inheritance on it we'll probably
want to split that up to be honest this is our actual player class using level
curve levels. That's cool. See, I see you're setting this up in the exact same way we had.
All right, rock on. Yeah, I think I think the only thing that needs to change here is we need to be able to have individual experience sources on this on a per block basis, because it's not in there. Right now it's on a per action basis. And it looks like you have stuff like mine block from group, mind block, kill entity, interaction, harvest crop. I am worried about performance, like I said, but I think it's going to be a little bit more of a challenge for me.
That's that's about it for right now and it's it's the best we can do until they fix up items
You just fix that in your local server the crop thing fair perfect
yeah, the only thing I'm worried about now is performance and
The only way we can fix that is if they they make items less of like a giant monolith, right?
You know, that's about it. So
What I'll do is I'll go through and I'll switch out the interaction on those so if we go to wheat
I'm going to go over to Hytale, we do plant crop wheat.
I guess I'll have to do it for both the eternal and the non-eternal one, don't I?
Ew.
Yeah.
Oh wait, this can't be interesting.
I wonder why I can't harvest that wheat.
There's mature wheat.
Huh.
For some reason this wheat has like turned into a non-harvestable variant and I don't
really know why.
And advancing time doesn't fix that.
wheat bug. That's kind of weird, right? Because like, these work, but now water doesn't do
shit. What is it? Some grabs grow at inconsistent rates. I'm teleporting time forward. Like,
There's no, this has gotten into a bugged state somehow.
This is fine.
Those are broken somehow.
It's not a tool, son of that.
It literally is not going into the final stage of growth.
I'll have to look into that.
It's really odd.
Yeah, cause I'm just shifting time forward
like multiple days.
Yeah, exactly.
It's blight dude.
Oh, did you shut the server?
You shut the server, didn't you?
You did.
No, I'm wondering if it was dying because of the server.
Under score geek has obtained the cursed quest. A poll has begun for chat to decide their fate
Good luck quiet geek your fate is being decided by chat. Yeah job of it Norris
chat has cursed quiet underscore geek with interpretive dance
ooooh
interpretive dance
only 39% to god damn
that was close to cooking
look cooking was at uh... 32%
alright
quiet geek are you there?
are you there?
dial underscore call 3 with 500 bits said yachir 500 good
I just want to say that I have been three months with diabetes
But I have pivoted my life to continue to be healthy and have been in my blood sugar healthy range 90% of the time
Good. Also, I have recently gotten a newer computer. So I'm learning to make and move the box now
Dude, that's good. It's um
It's imperative that you keep it up and it's good that you are
Just follow whatever your doctor says and do it
Now it's good that you're paying attention to that because it's really really important.
Live as long as you can, it's the whole idea, man.
the
There's a template crop block in here, but I'm trying to find out where it actually has its interaction.
Because these interactions right here are just block placement.
So where is it getting harvest?
Because if we look at wheat, wheat doesn't have a harvest interaction on there, and under gathering it just says soft.
So like drops plant crop wheat block. I don't even think that's the right material.
No, it becomes plant crop wheat item. So that's not the right thing.
It's gotta be under its states, doesn't it?
No?
Well...
Plant seeds wheat?
No, that's not it.
man wheat item
where does this shit live
ah there it is it's under harvest under the item itself
so i need to override this asset
it. Create that and remove harvest from it. Now in game, it's still broken. Well, that's
That's not it.
Delete that out.
It's really weird because harvest is the thing it's supposed to be using that for.
And I don't know why it isn't.
I don't know where the hell this thing lives, man.
Because seeds don't do that.
You hit the bit goal, so Thor gives it 100 subs.
That is correct.
I'm trying to think of what we do with this.
All right, quiet geek, since you were there,
you got interpretive dance.
You need to dance to any song in the heart-bound OST.
And the way that you have to hydrate your identity
is by printing out a picture of my face
and wearing it as a mask.
You gotta do this on video.
Yeah.
This is a later movie, F-key Stuff.
That's what I'm trying to do right now,
And I'm trying to find the block that actually does this.
Cause harvest is how that happens.
Gathering soft is not what it normally is.
It should be gathering harvest, which is causing that.
So I try to grab the wheat seeds and then change that to not have that.
And it's still had it.
So I'm like, what's going, what's going on here?
Like I have no idea why that's happening now.
And in their basic ones they don't have it. It might be under the farming one.
Oh no. Is that what it is?
That's exactly what it is. Son of a bitch.
Does that mean that they hard-coded in, harvested for all crops in this block state section?
That is really, really annoying.
Okay.
I understand how to fix this.
We're going to override this asset.
We're going to go into here.
God, that's really annoying.
I'm going to Farming, I'm going to Stages.
You've got Default Stages.
gonna get rid of harvested stages. We'll just have default stages. That means that every one of
these is tracking that value twice. I gotta restart the server it's pissed.
Yeah, that means it's tracking it twice, man. Why?
Oh, that who's playing you period to nope not right now
Yeah, hard coded once again, it's very odd. I mean we're gonna remove it
We can remove that one it's not um, it's not hard coded value for this. It's a since modular system. I'm just ripping it out
There's gatherable and then there are random crops that can grow in the world.
Yeah, that's not really relevant.
Good morning, Mark.
Alright, ads are over.
So I think I found the component that I needed to remove.
When I did, it turned all of these blocks into purple blocks.
So, you know, as you do.
I just mean that's why there's a gather section in the farming section.
No, it's because one of them is from destroying it with a tool and one of them is destroying
it by hitting F on it.
I think you started a massive free release update tons of stuff there's notes for me look
Wow, that's your story looks so good, dude. Look at that
and
it does such a good job with his look at that man
That's freaking cool.
They actually have dynamic water flow?
Really?
That's really interesting.
Yeah, look at that.
It changes the way that the water looks as it turns into rapids.
It's awesome dude.
Two high speeds can now overheat mechanical power blocks starting from 1.22, stable will
ignite.
Alright so you can ignite it by screwing up.
Each spear has its own spearhead model now.
8 new mushrooms, yes!
Mushrooms!
Added side effects from eating certain mushrooms.
Okay, vintage story, fantastic job.
They've done a really good job.
That's a lot of shit, man.
I think vintage story is shaping up to be something amazing, man.
Like, I think it really is.
I feel like this one is the exact same as the tool from Hytale, and it's just because
that tool is good.
So it makes sense.
Yeah.
Like, if I saw that in Hytale, I'd be like, I'm making that, like, 100%.
Yeah.
I'm so glad I made that one.
Reminds me of the Kraytmon but more advanced.
Yeah.
They do some amazing shit in that dude.
When is Yotunheim out?
Is that...
Have we finally switched?
What it's done, dude.
the
silly to play it.
Oh
the
You know why it's mad and it's mad every time I do this?
I changed one step in this and it redefined all of the block data.
We could stop using the block model and everything.
So now we have to go back over to Hytale and look for block and grab that one and then
go down here and look to see what is different under the block data for this.
And the only thing I could think of is that it's angry because it was inheriting something
Somewhere in here and I'm modified.
We're not.
Even this one is broken.
The read-only one is broken.
How?
You know what?
I'm gonna do this.
We're just gonna take this.
I'm gonna add a space and remove a space and just reapply it.
No, you're still angry?
Okay, I'm going to go into this one, I'm going to grab that whole one.
I'm going to go back over to this one and I'm going to apply that one to it.
And it works now, suddenly, somehow.
Okay.
Now I'm going to go down here under the harvested section for this.
I'm going to remove that and apply that.
And even though it's exactly the same as me removing it in the editor,
I remove the source.
It's now fixed in the editor but not actually fixed.
Also it's stacking now for reasons that I don't understand.
I'm going to reset the server again.
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't know what's wrong.
Yeah.
of
Oh no, Hytale's awesome dude, it really is.
This shit is going to be broken all of the time.
No, it really doesn't want to do this, man. What the shit is going on here?
Why did they tie
Like literally the model of the block to this I don't understand why they would do this. This is incredibly incredibly weird, man
No, that makes no sense
Go into the source on this one, grab this whole thing, go into this one, paste it on
the top of that.
Totally works fine now.
Get back in the game and it works fine.
What did they do and why is it like this?
Because it's tracking this twice and that's incredibly strange.
We're going to farming, we have default and we have harvested.
Is this just hard coded on this and there's not shit I can do about it?
Because this is supposed to be default like you break the block.
This is supposed to be harvested like you harvest the block.
Stage set after harvest.
Starting stage set.
We're removing that and we're gonna remove this.
Is that why it was mad?
Because it still had that set? That's the only thing you think of.
That's exactly what it was.
Still interactive. God damn it!
it's so interactive
Where is the interaction on this? Where does it live?
There's one thing that I could say that feels really weird about Hytale is the way that they do
plant growth doesn't make sense. It is not a requirement to have light, water, or fertilizer.
these add modifiers of two times two and two point five times growth like speed
so even if you don't have any water or any light all of those still like it
will still grow all the way to maximum which is really strange and I just don't
understand why that's like that that's something I brought up where I'm just
like that is really weird man
Did they define that in this?
They did.
Inside of this, they define this.
Okay.
Hold up.
We're going to take this.
We're going to bring it over here.
We're going to apply that change back onto it.
We're going to revert fully.
I'm going to go down to the final stage on this.
Under Gathering, now it's still set to soft.
And then Stage Final, under Gathering, and they have Harvest here, and we're going to
remove that Harvest, and then go all the way back up here.
I see how they have one of those now.
It's very silly.
We'll go back into Farming, and they have Default and Harvested.
We're going to go into this and remove that, remove this, keep that as soft, and now you
have to use a tool to break it. Fantastic.
A...
Basically, there were two things that were going on here.
One, they added setup so that it was tracking the timer for growing
this twice. So if we go and look at this, this is a little bit weird.
under harvested under default. This is for when the block is actually broken, like with a tool.
This is for when the block is actually like harvested using the F key, right? And what
they've done here is if you look at this, it's actually changed out for each and every one of
these, what they're doing for those stages. It's the same for those for the block state for those.
And all I've done is I've removed the harvested block state, removed the stage set
after harvest that's done and then you have to go down to the individual states that are set
in each one of these under block state like this you have to go to the final state because each
of these has it's it's effectively a completely new block every time the state is updated and in that
under gathering it has a harvest state we just remove that so instead it has the soft state
with the drop list there, which is drops plant crop wheat stage final harvest
and drops plant crop wheat stage final. So I'm gonna have to look at wheat stage
final harvest now versus stage final. And it looks like it's fully enraged. This
ad set is read only. Yeah, did you restart the server again? No, it's just
violently mad
cool
get wrecked Jake
it looks like the editor is angry now, yep, very cool
Wee.
Let's take a look at this.
So on stage final, this is the one where you break it.
You get one to two essence of life and one to two wee.
Okay, so the only difference between these two is that
This is the eternal one. Let's do... where's the non-eternal one?
There's literally no difference between these two.
Okay.
It's one to two wheat and two to four life essence.
That's it.
and
more. Yeah, basically the idea is this, now we actually have crops that you have to interact
with by using tools. And now we can set up tools to give experience gain. So I'm going
to set up the first farming tool and give it like herbalism experience, or farming experience
some will go from there, which I think would be fun.
Easy peasy.
And I think it's a sickle, man.
Yep.
That one.
We'll give it a EXP stat on it.
The difference is because eternal seeds don't need to be reclined to be harvest them.
Oh, yeah, no, I wasn't trying to know the difference between eternal and non-eternal. I was talking about the difference between
harvest and break stage final
For wheat, it's exactly the same
Between those two, there's no differences. Yeah
Very weird, let's get rid of that one
and
all right so
and that'll be our first prototype
huh
Uh, uh.
Well, that's a problem.
Let's find out if the sickle cance is harvesting.
and
Selector, hit entity, replace, this already has a problem, interactions, break block,
I'm going to lose my mind.
So they're running break block on the harvest command.
I know Simon said everything about Hytale will be changing, but we're already changing
everything about Hytale, so.
This, this is a meme.
We'll be fixing that.
Yeah.
Harvest gather or break gather?
What we're doing is a break together.
Yep, we have to do it as a break together and we have to get it to detect only specific plants.
Which is why they had it flagged as harvest.
That's really weird.
That's really weird, right?
Yeah, I'll hail the eternal corn. I mean, it's just wheat. It's just infinite wheat.
I'm trying to think about how we set this up.
You're there system.
Because it's going to need to be detecting a crop and then breaking that crop and only breaking crop.
And we need it to not be in sickle swing left. Let me tell you.
If you just turn off the toggle doesn't work. It'll break all blocks.
Therein lies the problem. That's not what we want.
This is checking for harvest.
Which is not the right way to do this.
Because Harvest is tied to the F interaction on them, so there has to be a better way.
I'm going to have to build a new selector and then make it so that selector hits any
block that is a crop and then remove Harvest from this.
Is the right way to do that.
So let's try overriding this real fast.
That was silly way to do this, man.
of harvest on that. And now if we go back into this, you'll see that works, but it also
destroys anything. So what it also created a ghost crop permanently.
All right, yeah, yep.
So anyway, yeah, scary ghost wait.
I think what we might be able to do is do a block condition check and see if the block
is at maximum.
That'd be the only way I think I could do that, because if we do a select, hit entity
we don't care about, but hit block on that interaction instead of break block.
We can say block condition, yeah, and then the condition of that on the matchers, we'd
add a new matcher. And it has to be a state. What is the state of wheat when it's finished?
know.
final right that's the only thing I can think of is that we'd set it up with that and then
If that's true, we go next and say break block.
That's on the matcher.
It works.
I did it.
So now it's checking to see if the stage final like thing is there.
Let's go into this actually.
Make sure that I'm not doing that wrong.
Yep, totally works.
Sick.
So basically what I've done is I've taken the original system.
I've made it so no longer has a harvestable action.
by removing a harvestable action
and made it so that sickle's no longer worth.
So then I had to change the selector in the sickle
to check for any block that is at the state of stage final,
which should be the final stage of any crop.
And then it will break that block when it's used.
It was great.
Although that's a generic name and I don't really like,
I don't like the idea of doing a matcher
on a generic name as a string,
because if we use the string of stage final in the future,
that's gonna be stupid.
So since I'm already in here,
probably going to change crops to be crop final at the end instead of stage final.
So we're going to be updating this anyway, right?
Can you still break the plant? Yeah, you can still punch it.
Doesn't really matter.
So now we've changed that to crop final, we've changed this to crop final, that'll be the
to match her for both of those.
And that means that these plants should not grow that way.
Swap this out.
Can't break that.
Can break this.
And see how it's doing the left and right like that?
That's not what we want.
So I'm gonna be changing that as well.
Neat.
Do all blocks of a stage final?
Doesn't matter anymore
because I renamed it to Crop Final.
That's kind of the whole idea is get rid of
whatever weird functionality was in there,
because it's just like a bunch of like
hard-coded, hard-name functionality.
And I don't like doing string matchers anyway, man.
Like that's just very strange, you know?
It's not super efficient.
So, yeah, string-based matching is always dangerous.
It's not good.
That's why I want to be descriptive with the string.
At the very least, I don't like that system personally.
Wonderful view, wheat maxing again, kinda, yeah.
Alright.
Axolotl maxing, you're an axolotl dude.
And now, now I have bad news for Jake, because now that I've removed the harvest system from
these wheat, they no longer give experience Jake, because we're not using harvest, we're
using break. I think I can fix that though, if we go up into archaeology, look at archaeology
profession experience sources right here instead of harvest crop, mine block. And the stage,
Actually, maybe Harvest Crop is correct, required stage is going to be Crop Final, yeah?
Nope.
Yeah, you'll have to redesign that.
You need to specify the block that now, you updated it?
little bit of a problem. Um, mine block doesn't have a required stage, Jake.
And there's also no, yeah, there's no required stage on it.
So we'll have to, because we're not using harvest, don't use,
we have to use mine block because harvest doesn't work.
We're not harvesting the crop unless it works with this new system here.
Hold up. Let me try this then.
Cause they just changed this around where they don't have a harvest command
anymore to specify a block deck, a harvest crop. Okay.
Plank, crop, wheat, block, there we go.
And then required stages, crop, final.
I hate, I hate that it's that.
No, I'm gonna do this.
Nope, doesn't work.
Yeah, I didn't think it was going to.
These don't count as harvestables anymore, man.
Like I said, they're not gonna be running
the harvest command anymore.
and
just a different week somehow
now that's the right one
Maybe it's because I'm breaking it with a tool.
Nope.
No.
Ugh, one sec.
of
You didn't make it grant me the XP, the amount is zero, oh wait, really?
Oh, you're right, that's funny as shit, 5 to 10, there we go, that's pretty good, okay,
No, no, I didn't work.
Yep, did not function.
Because this is set to crop final, the wheat block ends at crop final state.
We go down to states, it's called crop final.
We know that that's functional, right?
The sickle detects blocks in state crop final, and it works.
Archaeology is not giving any exp for that.
What are the green orbs?
Essences.
Those need to be fixed though.
I haven't set up loot tables yet.
Oh yeah, I know Trotamir.
The problem is they don't have that.
They have string match only as their baseline.
Which is not, it's just not the play.
Okay, you don't know?
Yeah, it's gonna be a debug log thing, because the only thing I can think of is I've removed
harvesting as like a block type.
The name of these is fine though, like that is the stage that is set for them.
is just not functional. I could try restarting the server if you'd like and may refresh the
block state. I'll do that.
Because we had to remove the harvest functionality. Otherwise, people can just hit F on all the items,
which is weird.
Oh yeah, it's crazy to think that now these are issues. These are only issues because we're
Remodifying the shit out of high tail men like once we get this fixed and we have like a working system
We won't have to care anymore like literally at all
Yeah, everything will be fixed and we just don't worry about it. The thing is we just don't want
We don't want players running around just spamming the F key
To interact with stuff, you know, like we want them to use tools and have the tools give you buffs, you know
because just hitting F on stuff is just kind of it's kind of weird right because you can
harvest from a super long distance away it bypasses any type of hardness on the material
like it's just not fun or good yeah exactly yeah no it's super weird man it's lazy feeling
Yeah, it is.
You don't want us reporting bugs and then immediately trying to exploit them ourselves?
No.
No, I don't.
Andre3k said hello for, first time TTS long time lurker.
It's been a rough 2025 for me, I was let go from a job and have been struggling to
find employment.
The major factor that is limiting me is a back injury I suffered while in my youth that
I am fortunately left untreated until it became a problem.
My question to you is with that in mind, where do I go from here?
I would like to get into coding but with all the AI jobs there is little hope there.
Thank you for being you.
Don't worry about the AI jobs, just do what you think is cool.
You know, you're dealing with some serious injury there, like, um, struggling to find
employment and you have a back injury.
I can understand that completely, Chronos has a major back injury, he talks about it
And finding employment that's sedentary is a lot harder when the tech industry is collapsing inward like a dying star
I would say like honestly if you want to get into programming then do it
Don't let AI stop you with that shit
Don't make it think that it's gonna stop any of your career aspirations or anything like that
It just may be harder to find a job right now a lot of the tech industry is kind of recoiling in horror right now though like
Amazon I believe Amazon just fired 16,000 people
legitimately so like
But at the same time AI companies have stopped really investing in AI.
They're pulling back from AI investments entirely because it's just not profitable.
What happens when a business finds something that's not profitable?
They start pulling away, which is what we're seeing right now.
I don't know, man.
I'd say just keep trying and the best thing you can do is always is to invest in yourself
and don't worry about AI right now.
worry about you learning skills. That's, that's it. You know,
I like it works now. Hey, Jake, you know that thing that
didn't work until the server restarted even though we had it
fully configured correctly? You know that thing? It works now.
We didn't change anything in configuration.
Yeah, we didn't that restart the server.
I love turning it off and back on again, exactly, man.
Alright, so I got that working with that.
I need to change up this tool.
They've got a bit of a bug with this, which is kind of funny.
If you swing the sky, you see how there's this back and forth?
But you swing at the ground and it only does that.
The reason why is because their selector is doing a replace action, whenever it detects
not a target it should be hitting.
Which is silly, yeah.
So I need to go and work on that and make it so it always does this, is the thing, and
not make it do a replace.
So I'm going to play around with the sickle and see if I can get it into a good state
and then kind of go from there.
Sometimes a good ol' off on does the trick, yeah, yeah.
I may also want to set up tiers of progression for the sickle.
I don't know yet, you know, cause like maybe I'll just have it only hit wheat right now
or we have like tier one plants, tier two plants, et cetera.
I just don't know.
Did you get my rid of my whale?
Where the hell is my whale, man?
It was a load bearing whale.
You can't just get rid of it.
ridiculous. He deleted my while dude.
Quote from Jake, I had to delete all entities because I made invisible poop and couldn't
remove it.
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
You'll leave my whale alone.
Alright.
That looks like it's working now.
Let's go and fix up this stuff.
Okay, wheat is good. We're gonna go back into sickle real quick. Sickle has a bunch of weird shit here, which I'm not quite understanding why they're doing this.
They have a melee swing. Yeah, the swing is in there.
We're going to need to go back over to block game, grab the sickle left swing, go to this.
Sickle left swing is where we're doing a parallel action.
The interactions are, let's see.
The replace action.
I don't think that needs to be a replace action.
I don't think it needs to be at all.
I think that's really weird.
That's why it's breaking, by the way.
That replaces the issue here.
Yeah.
That's weird, right?
It just needs to be a simple interaction.
Yeah, simple break block.
Harvest
21
This is such a weird ass way to do this.
It's so strange, man.
Yeah, no, this is super strange.
Because doing a replace action to do its damage on the target, the damage is hard coded as
its own, like entirely own interaction, which is just very strange.
It's like the damage calculator in this type is absolute the class is unknown and it just
does five hard-coded damage.
Why?
Why is it in the interaction?
It's so strange.
That makes no sense.
Why do you start working in midnight PSD?
Because the community is international and over a lot of Europe and Australia and South
America.
So if I start at midnight and I end at noon, it hits all of the community.
I've done that for ages, man.
Okay, so basically what they've done is they've set up, this is such a weird way to do this.
Like, they've set up a system where you have an item, but the stat is not stored in the
item.
They do an interaction, and then that interaction does a damage effect, and the damage effect
is where the actual damage is stored.
The item itself doesn't have a damage stat, but there's no way to inherit it back to make
it do like let's say if I set the damage here there's no way to inherit that
forward to overwrite this that's why we had to make our own block game damage
system because it makes no sense it's super weird yeah we have to fix all this
this is silly I'm just gonna rebuild this thing from the ground up I'm just
gonna rebuild the sickles completely cuz this is getting really silly yeah it's
super weird and over complicated. And if you're, if you're wondering like how far it goes, right,
we'll go into sickle. Just, just to give you an example, you have sickle itself, the item,
the cruel, or the crude one, then it does right swing. It does the right swing effect on it.
It has right swing damage. And then the right swing effect here for the interaction and the
swing right interaction as well all of this is just for one sickle it just
doesn't make any sense it just doesn't it's just so much shit yeah there's no
reason for all that done all that should be defined by the the weapon itself so
I'm gonna go into our system and I'm gonna delete all of this weird shit we're
just gonna get rid of it we're gonna make our own it's gonna here we're gonna
grab the sickle. We're gonna override that asset. Why don't we call this thing? It's
gonna be cool. Let me actually go pull up, block in Minecraft and grab the internal
ID item name.
Where is this? It'll be under items. Grab that.
What's up?
Think you should have waited till next patch?
No, no, no, no.
We're already rebuilding it completely using our own custom tech, to be honest with you.
Like, there's no reason to wait.
And we're giving a lot of feedback to them as well, through feature requests and stuff
like that.
I've been talking to Budakat the whole time, you know.
That is the whole idea.
And plus, if I didn't do this now, I wouldn't know how to use the Asset Editor or how to
hook it like Java or any of the stuff that I already know, like I've learned so much
by engaging with an early man.
Like I know how their whole interaction system works and everything.
Okay, we're going to look for do we even call it a sickle?
How do we call it?
What's like a hoe?
Minecraft.
There we go.
Uh, we're just gonna let it go.
We'll call it a wooden sickle.
There we go, tool-sickle wood, done.
Now we go into this, and now I can change up all of this weird shit, yeah.
Yeah, the whole point of this is to learn the tools.
Jake's completely right.
You said we're aware of the risks, it's precisely where we're doing it, we're giving them feedback
I can familiarizing ourselves with the tools.
I'll give you an example, right?
We go to like block game, we'll go to high tail requests.
And I have an entire Google doc in here
of all the stuff that we've written up for them.
For like feedback of like how to do random ranges,
language updates, like font support for everything.
When we had the documentation bug that they fixed now,
like the fact that you can't do a harvest particle correctly
because if you drop a block on the ground,
we'll go into here and we'll go into ocean water, right?
And if we grab this and you drop that, when you harvest it, it does its destruction particle.
There's no way to do a harvest only particle.
It's always the destruction particle, no matter what.
And like stuff like that is things that we have to report now, otherwise they're not
going to know about it.
Also things like entity stat types don't have a display option.
So you can't change the name and description and icon for an entity stat type.
They're just hard coded to be whatever you wrote as the entity stat type name is now
how displayed in-game as the internal token,
which isn't good,
because you can't do translation properties
like you can with everything else.
Like all of this stuff is why we're doing this now,
to turn all of this in, you know,
and then they get shit fixed.
And they have been, they've been fixing it up.
And then on top of that,
it also gives me a chance to do this
with our block game design doc.
And I can just go through and write up
all of our design documentation
for everything that we want to build.
everything, all descriptions of all of it. So we know exactly what we're building. So it gives
a chance to walk through the game, find out how we want to make that set of high tail, and then
go from there. Right. So like, all of this is important. And you definitely should take the
chance to engage with it early. If you are waiting for it to be in a perfect state, you will never
start literally ever. Yeah, they're super receptive about the feedback too. Yeah, they're awesome as
self. They're great to work with, man.
Do you meet with them every week? I talk to them like every day.
It's like every day that I'm working in something like a
a boot of kit, I got a weirdness. And they're like, Oh,
shit. And like, that's about it. Yeah. And then we talk about it.
And then they send it over to the devs.
We kind of go from there, you know?
You've reported a bug regarding Snoblox this way, standing and looking on the side of it.
There's a hitbox standing and looking at the top of it, there's none.
Yeah, there's all kinds of little shit like that, you know?
The devs are just really, really good.
And they're like super receptive to stuff.
You know?
Let's just kind of how it is.
They're great.
What the hell is this shit?
Oh, this is why they get this thing again.
Oh, I hate this thing.
Look at this.
They set up all these interaction bars on all of this.
I ripped all of this out for a fireball system
and just had none of it and made life infinitely
more easy for myself.
I hate this system.
The interaction bar system is so bloated.
Is it easy to set up modding to a server like that?
Yeah, all you do is you go into the game
and you type in slash OP self, just like that.
And then you hit tab, go up to creative tools
and asset editor and you're in this menu.
And anything you change changes in game instantly.
That's it.
All you gotta do is click up on this
and click add pack and then add your own.
And then you're done, you know.
And that's it.
And you can trade that pack to other people
and do whatever you want, even on a multiplayer server.
Yeah, if you are a, if you're an op
in a multiplayer server then yes.
you can't just have off automatically. You gotta be like a server admin. Yeah. Oh, I know. No, dude,
a lot of it is for us to know why we do this. Do you know why we do this? No, it's been four years.
Exactly. So like, a lot of what we ended doing when we're fixing stuff like this is just going,
that clearly doesn't make any sense. They obviously don't want it that way. I'm going to give them
them feedback on making this a way that developers, we can use it to make things that don't suck.
Right.
And I think that's really important with that is like, we're not just turning in bugs, we're
putting in feature requests to make these good.
Like I'll give you an example is if we go in here and we look at, say, like an item, and we'll go to
like block and we'll grab block for this horrifying thing.
Right.
If you look at this items are this gigantic monolithic thing.
So if you go down this, it has a bunch of different flags for all kinds of shit that just don't need to be there.
So like on this, it's got tool, block selected tool, builder tool, weapon, armor, glider, utility, portal key, container.
Like it doesn't need all this. It needs one thing that says, what are you?
And then like a list of things that you can add or subtract from that.
way we can define our own custom component in Java, expose it to the asset editor, and
then plug that in and be like, I don't want armor. I want our custom kind of armor. So
now all items in the game can have the custom armor in it. But because they've hard coded
all these in, it's just this like weird, like not modifiable monolithic thing. And if you
want to change items in the game to your own custom items, you can't. Because if you do,
And you have to reimplement monsters wearing items and items being in chess and items finding
in loot tables and items dropping in the ground and everything that goes along with that.
They need a, they need a modifiable component on this moment.
They add that you can go hog wild, make anything you want.
Because as long as you have that custom component of like type, whatever, and then we can expose
it in the asset editor, we're good to go and do it or anything at that point, but they've
just hard coding it all in.
It's a weapon now.
It's...
Which is really weird.
Yeah.
That cube is haunted. It's pretty haunted.
Yeah.
It's really haunted. My favorite thing about it, too, is if you go back in-game,
and we look at the block...
Oh, excuse me. There we go.
Grab this...
block...
and we grab...
that one.
Right?
And then you go over to grass and you, uh...
That's my favorite part about it.
Yeah, they already have the most of systems in place to do it.
The reason why we requested that is because of the fact that they already do this with
NPCs.
That's exactly how the NPC system works.
So like, they've already done it, they just need to do it for items.
So we put that up as like, hey, this is a feature request that really needs to get done.
Like, people can't create custom items, like you can't do it effectively.
You're kind of locked into this weird hard-coded system for high-tail items and that's, there's
There's no item like stat ranges or anything on them.
You can't do anything with it.
Yeah, I think that's it.
That's great, but the game needs difficulty options
for people like real challenges.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't need it at all.
Difficulty options don't need to exist
for that to be a thing, right?
You can just create more challenges.
You can create monsters
with more interesting dynamic effects.
You don't need a difficulty slider to pull that off.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
And if you want the game to be harder,
just go mod it, make it more hard, you know?
Yeah, but no, you don't need a difficulty slider
to pull that off, not even close.
You said you jumped the farmland, Minecraft flashbacks?
Yeah.
Do you wanna know my favorite part about this actually
for Minecraft players?
Yeah, it can't exchange difficulty.
You don't want, you don't want sponge difficulty, man.
Like you just don't, that's not a thing that you want
of like he has more health than he's harder.
Like it's so boring, that's so boring.
Watch this. This is my favorite thing about Hytale.
The Minecraft player could never.
They could never check.
They could never.
Thor Hades difficulty sliders confirmed?
I think difficulty sliders are lazy.
Generally.
I think they're generally lazy.
And the reason why I feel that way is because if you want to add difficulty to a video game
and you're doing it through a slider, you're usually just increasing or decreasing the amount of health and damage that a monster does.
You're not actually increasing in difficulty or increasing and decreasing the mechanical difficulty of the monster.
That's not interesting or good.
And it's not a positive way to increase or decrease the experience for the player overall at all.
And I guess that's why I think it sucks.
I think it's lazy.
Bullet sponges that exactly.
People complain about bullet sponges and then in the same breath they go, I want a difficulty
slider to increase HP on the monster.
Difficulty slider could add more behavior to the NPCs, could, but you could also make
it dynamic in other ways, right?
I'll give an example.
Difficulty in Heartbound is based on how much of a jackass you are.
Do you know that?
So if you're a dick to other people, if you hurt other characters in the game, you realize
that others have the capacity to hurt you.
So the combat gets harder.
It gets faster.
There's more minigames.
There's more mechanics.
There's different text lines.
All of that changes based on the way that you treat other characters.
So people who are more likely to be nice to others and not want to be combative will
have an easier experience throughout the game in combat.
People who are more combative and more aggressive are going to have a more aggressive experience in combat, but already does that right now, and I didn't need to do a difficulty slider with that.
I just changed the game based on your behavior.
When's that new Diablo DLC thing incoming?
What do you mean, Diablo DLC?
That's why your playthrough was super easy.
Yeah, now go back and be a jackass.
See what happens.
It's not going to be the same.
In fact, there's whole combat scenes that you don't even get when you're nice.
You can't be mean to them, or you can.
You just lack conviction.
Yeah, dynamic difficulty adjustments, but a thing for ages, exactly.
And like, I just don't think that the difficulty slider that increases and decreases health
accomplishes the goal that people are looking for.
Expansion behaves like a deal saying?
Wait, wait, Diablo's getting an expansion?
Is that what you're saying?
Diablo 4?
Since when?
April 28th, 2026, Lord of Hatred.
Wait, does that mean we're actually gonna fight Mephisto when he won't suck?
Really? Or is he still going to be boring? Yeah.
Okay they're adding a paladin. Nice.
Gonna wait in the ads, we'll talk about this. I actually didn't know this was coming out.
I've been so checked out for Diablo.
Pallies OP, it always will be.
Wonder what the other class is gonna be.
Did they actually name it?
It's calling it BlizzTabControl.
Boo!
You heard the next class is Warlock?
really
Diablo 4 is in great right now to put it mildly
Dude, I've been playing Path of Exalti when it's been funny shit
So like
You know
Your mom's a warlock?
Oh shit!
That's kind of actually sick though, so cool.
Hey weavers, the obelisk is a tricky one.
I really like action RPGs, so like we can talk about this.
Be gone, Bezos.
Okay, so like, I didn't know that Diablo
was getting an expansion soon.
I didn't know that they launched the Paladin.
I didn't know that it was based on Mephisto.
Mephisto is really cool to me.
He's like one of my favorite Prime evils.
I think they get him dirty in Diablo 4 so far,
which is actually one of the reasons
why I stopped playing Diablo 4.
I completely uninstalled the launcher and everything.
I was like, this is kind of boring.
Because Mephisto is cool.
He's really cool.
And he was just sort of kind of a wet paper bag.
If that makes sense, like he was, he was like a creepy voice and that was about it up until
now.
So like I was not that interested really at all.
But if they're doing a whole expansion on him, maybe it doesn't suck.
Maybe, you know, um, I do think that they're, they're using like kind of weird descriptions
of this.
So when Lord of hatred releases, all players will experience reshaped hero progression with
deeper customization and new tools for mastery.
said nothing. Major skill tree reworks, including new skill variants for every class. That's
all it needed to say. Be like, we're reworking the skill trees. This sounds like it's an
investor line. That sounds like triple a bullshit. This sounds like what I needed to know as
a player. You're changing my talent trees. Cool. Right. Long with level cap increases
will refresh how you customize and build power. Plus a new loop filter will ease discovery
desired items across. Oh, they actually have loot filters now. Cool. Includes vessel of hatred.
So if you get the latest expansion, you get all of the, like all of the expansions,
that's a good move. I don't care about the cosmetic bundle. I don't care. Is that it?
So finish the fight. New region. Let's see the new region.
Oh, is this being messed up because of my dark reader? One moment.
Yeah it is. There we go. Dark Reader was making it impossible to view.
What are you going to cost?
They did this whole bullshit thing again.
Age of hatred. Lord of hatred. Lord of hatred deluxe. Lord of hatred ultimate.
We need four versions of the video game.
Oh god damn it dude. It comes with World of Warcraft decor items.
My care is reducing as I read through this. Platinum.
Just gonna buy a video game dude.
I just really want to buy a video game. That's all I care
Is the one where I could just get the video game
and not
Get the original video game that I already have unlocked how much do these cost?
What do you cost no, I don't want to log into your systems what is this gonna cost them steam
Yeah, sure. I was born in 1910 steam. Thanks, bud
It's going to be $70.
Really?
But that gives the whole collection.
What does it cost just for the expansion?
$40.
Just for the expansion.
Okay.
Now we'll go all the way back.
I'll go back to their website.
website. So it's 40 bucks for the expansion loan. New region. Wait, what? So they have
these tabs up here. They'd give you a background image and then a blurb of text, but there's
no images of any of this. Dude, if you're if you're releasing an expansion show people
some stuff like show them it's not the dark mode dark modes turned off there's nothing in here man
like
it's just a background image and then a blurb of text errors on the side that just switches
between these different sections there's none of this changes
It's just a blurb of text. No, dude, if you're going to show gameplay, show in-game stuff,
show me some of these skills, show me what the end game is, not just a blurb, not just a paragraph.
Come on, man. Come on. Yeah, exactly. Show me. Don't tell me. I want to see what the region is like.
I want to see how large it is. I need if I'm gonna make a decision as a customer
I need to know what you're selling me and like just saying major updates for all the outlaw for players and showing
Like a generic talent tree in the background without showing what you guys have changed
It doesn't help anything
What what's going on here?
No, they're better than this. I don't understand that shit. No, I don't think it's a generator. I just think it's weird
Have they implemented the new talent trees at all? You guys know? Not yet? Yeah, I'm gonna be
with you. I think Path of Exile does a better job of all of this. I really do.
Like I really, really do.
Like let me give you an example of how they should be doing this.
Directly from Path of Exile's website. Path of Exile 2, Last of the Druids. And what do they show?
Gameplay for their new character class, for all of this. How to shape shift into a bear,
how to shape shift into a wolf, the fact that it does wrath of nature, drew descendences,
you can click on this and it actually tells you a little bit about both of those. Like,
talking about new support gems that they're adding, showing visuals, showing any of this,
right? And then you go back here and it's a paragraph of text with no imagery. Come on, man.
Like, come on, man. They'll reveal everything on the 11th, then they should make it pre-purchasable
on the 11th, not today. Right? I can already buy it, but I don't even know what it has. Not really.
I think then I think what Blizzard needs to do is they need to look at what Path of Exile is doing
or how they are showing content and information to their players and they need to mimic that.
It's like I'm not compelled to buy this even though I'm a huge fan of Diablo even though I
love Diablo even though I love Mephisto specifically this expansion is about Mephisto.
I'm not getting enough information from this page to want to buy it and I think that's a
big problem. I think that's a really big, like a really big problem. This tells me nothing
about the changes to the talent trees, just that they're changing. Like that doesn't make me want
to pay $40. When is this? Yeah, sure. I was, I was born in 1915. They've got it as a gameplay launch
trailer. There's no context in this. At least we have mercenaries. That's cool.
But this is Vessel of Hatred. Yeah, Lord of Hatred includes the full Vessel of
of hatred expansion pre-purchase.
Is that the same thing?
Okay, so vessel of hatred expansion
is the Lord of hatred purchase?
Or is it?
Yes, no, no.
That's the other one.
What did they name that thing?
Vessel of hatred was the previous expansion.
So this is the previous expansion.
So they put a video up for the gameplay launch.
When did this come out?
When did you launch this?
A year ago.
Okay, so this is actually the launch trailer
for the previous expansion
on the page that's supposed to be giving the information
about the next expansion.
Bro, what is going on?
No, I...
Do you see why this is so confusing?
Because buying the new X-Pack gives you the first X-Pack?
But it's giving me more information about the last expect than it is in the new expect if I'm gonna buy something new
I want to know about that thing and the only thing I get to learn is this
Which doesn't give me any information these four paragraphs with no imagery for any of that and the fact that the Paladin is out
Which apparently is already playable on life. So like you compare that to
This where they're showing each and every one of these features visually so I can understand as a player
What is this gonna look like? What does it feel like? How does it play?
And then I can go and decide if I want to you know play into that and this is the funny thing is is this is free
This content is free this content is paid for and I feel like I'm getting less on the paid for content less information, right?
That's just
It just doesn't make any sense dude. Yeah
No, it's super weird this track.
You can play it now if you pre-order.
Wait, wait, wait.
The Paladin is out, but only if you pre-order?
Can you play it without pre-ordering?
You cannot play it unless you pre-order.
So right now, for the last two months, you've had to pay $40 to play the class, but you
still don't have any information really about the feature set of the expansion.
Do they have any videos out?
Because this website, for Lord of Hatred, does not give me actually any videos or information.
The only thing it has is a Paladin and a list of cosmetics and shit that I get if I buy
it.
Only the trailer from the game awards.
The Paladin alone is worth $40 to me.
I can't agree with you on that, I feel like maybe for you that purchase makes sense, for
me that doesn't, and the reason why is that's the cost of like 8 indie games, or 4 good
like kind of mid-tier indie games, right, or 2 double A games for a single character
inside of another video game.
That's double the price of silk song.
That gets really hard for me to agree with that statement.
Does that make sense?
Cause when you're saying it's like,
I've gotten this character for two months for $40.
And then I can go, I could buy silk song twice for that.
See how weird, like that feels weird, right?
That just doesn't feel like good value.
I don't think you're wrong from your perspective,
but from mine, I'm like, that doesn't feel like good value.
And like, with not knowing any of the information
about the expansion really at all,
like, bro, you gotta give something up.
I think the food you could buy $40, yeah.
Yeah, that's like the whole AAA industry. Yeah, or you could just play Path of Exile
where it's free. Like if you go to here, we go to Diablo 4 and I go pull it up, right?
Jesus Christ. $150 in in-game currency. Insane. Standard edition. And then if you want to
by just the Lord of Hatred, which is $40 for that.
Is there any information in this?
What, why isn't this on the webpage for it?
Scovost and the Dangerous Land, no, it's the same images.
They didn't actually do anything extra on this.
It's the same.
So, their Steam announcement is exactly the same as their web page.
The demons of hell overflow.
They just copy pasted the text from one to the other.
Dude, Steam announcements are where you are limited to your public messaging.
You're limited there.
You can still do animated images here, but your own web page, you're not limited.
Why are you limiting this to be an exact one-to-one replica of the Steam
announcement? And why are you using static images for all of this? Show the
class. Show what it does. Take any hint from Path of Exile on stuff like this of
like showing what is this class doing. Make me excited for this man. Because like
I'm I'm a massive fan of Diablo going all the way back to D1. I love the
I love the prime evils like it's cool as shit to me and I'm not excited about this because you've told me nothing about it
Even though you have all of this real estate to do it. You've been like yeah, we're changing things. I
Won't tell you what
Come on man, I want to be excited and I'm not at all
That sucks dude. That sucks. Go to the Steam page for Lord of Hatred. There's an actual
gameplay trailer. Wait, wait, wait. So there's actually a gameplay trailer in here. Now this
This is a hype trailer.
Okay, I don't want that.
I want the actual gameplay trailer.
Okay, we'll get past all the hype stuff.
Still hype.
This, put this on the goddamn webpage.
Put this on the webpage.
Stop hiding it on the Steam page.
Put it on the webpage.
Right now, what is wrong with you?
What?
It's, and also it's like one second of gameplay
and then like a million hype images for that.
Like, come on, man.
Put this on the goddamn page.
You could literally take each section of this
where you have the title, like each of the sections
where you have like system reworks
and like throw it up on there.
Harajir Cube, Transmuter Arcel,
put it up on the web page as a gift.
You have, you've already done the work.
Put it up there.
Holy shit, man.
I'm so disappointed.
And this isn't a gameplay trailer.
Yeah, look at this.
Look at this.
Bonus skill variants, look at that.
Okay, hold up.
Look at this, it's like all bonus skill variants.
See that?
See that whole animation?
They had a whole team build that.
You know what they put up on the website?
Not that.
If we go pull this up,
We actually look at their webpage.
Do you know what it has?
This, which tells you nothing, nothing.
Like, why did you do all of that work
to hide it in an armpit, not on your actual website?
What are you doing?
I just don't, I never understand what they're doing, man.
And you look at Path of Exile, and Path of Exile is like,
yeah, here's a video, look at that.
You look right at it. That's the wolf, man. There is. Look, what do you look?
How he moves? Look at his abilities.
And then I don't understand how they just don't get this.
I am. I really don't. It's just marketing. One of one shit.
I think it really just comes down to marketing. One of one shit.
How the exos doing it correctly? Diablo's not. And it's just weird.
It's just weird to me. Cause like this isn't rocket science shit.
Show people what you're making. Don't, don't do this.
And then on steam do this like just show them this this is cool
That's cool. And honestly, I wouldn't even do it as this this tiny little blurb of like bonus skill variants more customization options
Go into them talk about what those customization options are and if they're not solidified yet
Then you shouldn't be showing people this or selling it to them
Anyway, that's my rant
Are you trying to pander in spoiler culture?
I don't know and I don't care.
Like, if I'm going to be making a decision to purchase a product, I better damn well
know what it is.
And they're not giving me enough information to do that.
Yeah.
Next expansion, Paladin will be nerfed.
Of course he will.
I mean, that's how that always goes.
You know about the game, Eugenics?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
is. I tried no rest for the wicked. I have not yet and everyone keeps telling me to play that.
Yeah. There's got to be a market for mobile games that aren't shit. There is. I play a lot
of them actually. I really like Monster Hunter now. I play that one a lot. I think before that,
I played a game a ton because that was really respectful of my time and I really enjoyed it.
And then like a bunch of weird indie games on mobile. The problem I'm seeing with mobile more
than anything is there's a huge amount of just slop games that are going on there now. Now,
where they're either not finished in a way that like they crash and break and things like that,
or they just use AI for their imagery for like their marketing images and then don't actually
ever look like that in the game, which is super weird, you know, like that's not,
that's not good. The game should look like whatever marketing image it has, but they have like a big
AI image and they're like, it's epic and you get in game and it's like really crunchy pixel.
You're like, that doesn't look the same at all. You know, could you imagine if they
only had car commercials with pictures only? I know. Yeah, fake games. Fake games are
really common, man. Like super common. Or, or you get into the game and it's like a
shitload of, um, shitload of ads and shit like that. I'd love to see you play Grimdon.
I love Grimdon. Let me see how many hours I haven't grimdon. I don't think it's 100.
It's probably less than 100, but I really loved it. Grimdon. Oh, it's barely less than
I have 96 and a half hours in grim down. Last time I played was in 20.2.
So I guess it was four years ago, but grim down was a blast, man.
I actually want to go back in and see what all they've changed because I loved that game.
Like that was super fun. And I played it on stream and it was rad.
They actually do a really good job with storytelling in it too.
It's like there was one of the characters, one of the bosses was quite creepy. It was
really unsettling, but I really enjoy that game. Grim down was cool. I play a lot of action RPGs.
So like, I should probably reinstall that play it. Yeah. But I don't know, man. Uh, whatever
it is that Diablo is doing right now doesn't make any sense. What game do you have the most hours in?
It's gonna make you laugh. It's not even a video game.
So I used to run this every day when I was streaming and it, um, it makes little characters
along the bottom, but then the community grew too large. And now because there's so many characters
and so many interactions from Twitch, the program crashes. It's actually the same program we used
over on the Ferret Software channel. You guys broke it. Literally, like it cannot run with thousands
of people. So when I had 400, it started to crash. And then now we've got 2,000 here right now.
It won't survive. It just dies. It implodes to that. Yeah. And I think that's like a really wild
thing with this, is it just blows up. What do I know about storytelling? Well, I play video games
and I could determine for myself subjectively if I like a story or not, right?
It's kind of how that goes.
Have you seen the game Do No Harm? I've heard of Do No Harm. I don't know anything about it though.
Yeah. Just downloaded Dark December yesterday. I don't know what that is. I've never heard of that
game. Yeah, never heard of that. I'll have to check that out.
Killin' monsters in my yard!
I have to kill two Mitsuzune's today.
Mitsuzune?
As a development, heartburn?
Good!
I released an update eight days ago and there should be another one out today.
I'm waiting on Shade to get some art done for the combat scene that I've been working
on all month.
Monthly updates just like normal, but this month I'm doing multiple updates throughout
months so that we can get all of animus finished because it's the final combat scene and it's just
really art heavy is the problem right now art just takes a lot a lot of time
you love heartburn rocking dude yeah you should go check out the updates um i got the combat in
for misery and mania so that's like playable right now but it's not in a
good state and that's why I'm updating it because what I'm trying to do this
month is every week I'm trying to release a new minigame for that combat
because combat and harp on a split up between different minigames and I've
got the first one done you can play through the whole storyline for it and
it works and the audio transitions everything works nice but it's got a
bunch of programmer like blocks and shit that are like red and green and purple
because it's waiting on art from Shea which she started to finish some of that
stuff. Which is good. Just takes time. Let's see. Jotunheim win, huh? What? You're taking
too long, I want it now. Yeah, Jotunheim win, it's ready, man. I mean, like, Jotunheim comes
after Animus. I'm mostly just happy to get that shit done. Let's see. She actually sent
me this.
Nice.
Yeah, Shay's getting the animations done now.
Because we've got the misery and many of skulls that have to be done and then they have to
have a charge-up animation there we go
Gormus, grow the factory, why you like this?
Ferts of the master race, bro, what?
They're just goblin animals. Speaking of which, I have a really cool announcement regarding the rescue. You guys ready for this?
I'm really excited about this. We have,
technically,
broken ground.
Behold! They just had to do a geotest. So it was a geosurvey that they had to do to determine like what the soil structure is like.
But uh, we got a machine out and dug into the ground until it hit the lake. There's like a layer where the glaciers ground over it.
And then like that's it, right?
And like so we had to do that twice, did it, determined how deep
that soil was and then kind of go from there. That's it. Yeah
but we've broken ground and then we've refilled,
we back filled it back in afterwards.
Did the dirt pass?
It did.
Basically, we just need to figure that out
because what we have to do is put in a septic tank
for the rescue building.
And then, I guess it's just gonna be a whole thing
because we can't hook up the city sewage.
There's no city sewage here.
We just use septic for everything.
Which is a nightmare.
Yeah, poop system.
You do a groundbreaking ceremony.
You got them right.
Did you keep some for the dirt man? No.
The guy who dug that up is the dirt man.
And then the other guy who came in for the septic is the PPPUPU man.
Fantastic. Yeah.
Not that deep, no basement, I assume. No, no, this is just a soil test to see how
far down it gets before you hit that that glacier layer which is the layer
where the glacier ground over the land and then it's like stone and silt from
there so it's how deep can they dig before they have to get like the big the
big digging machine to do it that's all yeah it's just a hole it's not that deep
okay that's fine but that's a big deal it's a really big deal to finally get to
this point and I'm really excited about it I need to put it up on the website
is that doing that?
Is that clay at the bottom? It's more like sand and ground up stone in a fine powder. So you have
like sand and fine powdery stone. It doesn't feel like clay. It's kind of like conglomerated
together and you just, you can snap it and it's not like smooth like clay would be. It's actually,
it's awful feeling. It is, it is a really gross material. It almost feels greasy in the way that
it feels because of how like fine the sand is. Yeah, it's not good. It's really nasty, right?
You do a perk test. What do you mean a perk test? You're gonna have to unravel whatever that is. Yeah.
What do you want to build a house? No, we're building the largest fair rescue in the United
States. And that's what we're doing. So we're building a 2400 square foot building specifically
purpose built for the care and housing of rescued ferrets. We already run a ferret rescue here
in Washington state. If you go to ferrets.live and grab this, you can actually see everything
about our website here. Yeah, all of it's there. So some large ferrets to fit that house in.
center
waiting in ads
yeah
if you're wanting a block game we're moving our minecraft in the mo over to high tail we're building out a lot of systems
You're sad that the Hytale server is in Java?
Why would you be sad about that?
That's fun.
I mean, Java sucks to work with, but it's really accessible to people, and they're used
to using it for Minecraft anyway.
She's kind of your target audience.
You always keep a little dirt under your pillow for the dirt man. Hell yeah, dude.
At least it isn't clay. If it was the foundations, we need to go deeper.
Okay. I don't know much about building, so I have no idea.
You're making games for Hytale now?
We're moving our game over from Minecraft to Hytale, that's what I've been working on
on the screen.
Awesome news about the rescue, thanks man.
Which exactly is hard about working with Java?
Nothing.
The shame that you feel for working in Java?
about it. All right, ads are over. But yeah, so if you didn't know about our rescue and
what we've been doing, everything's up on ferrets.live, but we run one of the largest
rescues in the United States. And when this is this project is done, it will be the largest
rescue in the United States might be the largest one in the world. We just don't know because the
only other places we know that these types of things exist are in Japan and I'm not sure what
the largest one there is. But we actually staff this with multiple employees. You can go and see
here so people get jobs through this rescue as well and they're paid employees. Fully, you know,
fully cared for environment. You can actually watch them live at all times too. So if you click
on these buttons up here, you can see the rescue room like this. And this is actually real time,
all the time, you can go and see them anytime you want to. And by watching this channel,
the ad revenue from it is 442 people watching it. The ad revenue from this channel pays for
everything. And that's it. You know, and I think that a lot of people don't realize how powerful
ads can be on these different platforms. But by watching this channel, you don't have to pay money.
You don't have to like sub or throw bids. You can if you want to. But by watching the channel,
you pay for everything then. And that's it. And we get to take care of all these different animals.
And we usually have between 50 and 70 in the rescue currently.
And once we upgrade to the new building, it'll be about 150 and max capacity.
So it'll be huge. Yep.
And I'm going to be setting up cameras for each of those rooms.
And we're going to set it up with Struvrbots.
So you guys will be able to swap between the rooms or make different ones
and focus as necessary.
And instead of having two cameras like this, it'll have multiple.
And you'll be able to swap them out anyway that you want to.
You ferrets have refined among themselves constantly.
They're like little warriors, dude.
That's what they want. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like super cool. It's worked out really nicely.
Yep. Yeah, it's like super nice. What made you choose ferrets, by the way? Just childhood
favorite. They were illegal in California when I was growing up. And then when I moved up here
to Washington, I was like, I want to get a ferret because I could never have one because they're
cool, right? They're like little thieves. And then we had two was Loki and snails. Somebody's awake
They were looking at snails and snails ended up dying from a heart condition, but we had
gotten both of them from University of Washington, which is a laboratory, and they put animals
to death after one year in the labs.
So they either adopt them out or they put them to death.
So snails lived through about four.
She got an extra three years of life because we took her in.
So I was like, let's just keep doing that.
and then people wanted to watch them.
So we're like, okay, we'll set up a channel for it.
And then we set them up on the channel and then it worked,
right?
And like people really wanted to watch,
the ad revenue started rolling and I was like,
hey, what if we just kept doing this?
So then we just kept expanding and expanding.
And now we have a really big rescue
and we work with the humane societies in our area.
We work with humane world for animals.
We work with other rescues around the country.
We work with different veterinarians around the country.
We might actually be cited in a research paper soon.
So we've been working on that, which is kind of a huge thing.
So that'll be cool as shit, but like we work on all kinds of stuff now for animal healthcare and working with groups around the country to try and improve, you know, medicine for these guys and improve care for them.
And that's the whole deal.
So yeah,
should be cool.
It's got to keep moving forward.
Research paper for Henry.
No, no, it's for other stuff.
We've got some research that we're going to be helping out with in terms of detecting
adrenal disease because the way that they detect adrenal disease right now is through
blood, and it's not a super good science.
Adrenal disease, a lot of the times when they test it in blood, doesn't always come through.
It'll give bad results here and there.
So it's not an exact science.
is a way where they have determined that from one of the vets that we know said you can
actually test that through urine. And it's 100% chance, which is kind of a cool thing,
right? Like I actually think that's awesome as shit. And another vet that we know didn't know
about this, and they've started doing it, and they're able to test that. And they're like,
hey, this is not only not invasive, but it's also accurate. So now what we're going to be doing is
we're going to be taking our ferrets, giving over samples for that and being a part of that study
because we have so many ferrets that we can do that. And since it's a non-invasive thing,
we can send all our samples in and they can actually test for adrenal that way and prove
the science, put it into a research paper and then change the way that these animals are tested
for adrenal disease, which is kind of a huge thing. Like that would be enormous because not
only are you not sending out blood work anymore, you're not taking the animal in for blood work,
it's way less scary for the animal. It's way more accurate and it's cheaper. So like,
like, instead of paying a couple hundred dollars, you pay basically nothing and it's more accurate
and better for the animals. So like, that's the kind of stuff that we're pushing on right
now is like helping out with stuff like that because we have such a large amount of ferrets
that we can do that with and we know all the vets that are interacting with us and trying
to put papers together. I just think it's cool. So like, we're doing that. That's what
we're doing. Yeah, exactly. Pennies. Pennies on the dollar kind of stuff, which is, I don't
know, that directly impacts the health of all of these animals. And it also means that
you'll be able to detect adrenal earlier and it can be a regular checkup thing
instead of a, Hey, we think they have adrenal because they're showing signs,
which at that point they've already had a reduced quality of life.
So stuff like that is good, which is good. So Nico, that one,
I didn't find it like didn't discover it.
It was in old literature that no one was paying attention to anymore.
So at that point it's just an issue of like veterinarians knowing about it.
So that's not a new discovery. This would be a new discovery,
which is kind of sick.
And that, that makes me excited because that'll change all of medicine for these animals going
forward. Might have, might have run on impacts for other animals too. We just don't know,
don't know yet, but it's going to be a bunch of research and they have to,
we have to set up the study and then like submit samples and then prove the paper and
just all the shit that goes into that. And there's a bunch of vets involved. So
do you buy yearly checks for ferrets in the age range for adrenal? The thing is,
is we've seen ferrets as young as one year old with adrenal. And it's because Marshall Farms
keeps neutering them and spaying them younger and younger, and it causes a hormone imbalance.
It causes this. So like, if they can start scanning on ferrets, even from the time that
they come home from the pet store and make it a part of a regular checkup, lifespans will go up
like immediately. It's just a big deal, you know. Yeah, yearly for all by yearly for one and a
range. Yeah, exactly. Do you like cats? Yeah, I've had cats most of my life. My last cat gadget I
I had for 18 years. Good, good animal. That's huge. Cool thing is we already do your analysis
in humans. So the underlying tech is there. Oh, yeah, no, it's super normal tech, like
way normal tech. Yeah, Meepo also adopted for me, Paul is a small bastard. And you will
not prove to me other ones. Goblin creature. And what are you developing today? We're working
on harvesting stuff and it seems to be working now. We can get experience out of these now
for our custom profession system and they no longer have press after harvest which is good.
Yeah and now I'm trying to get work with a sickle that makes it not weird so.
me
people is your cat and
the cat I'm looking after
told your sourdough
will put it's added to your sourdough starter man
of all this that should happen
No cat is a small bastard, they're huge bastards in highly concentrated form.
You're not wrong.
He's like a bastard diamond.
That's completely true.
Is the floating shit a representation of us?
I don't know, Jake made that.
Wheat of testing archaeology for some reason.
Yeah, concentrated bastard, dude.
That's what he is.
Yeah, if you want to know more about like what we're doing at the rescue, like, literally
all you need to do to help any of that is just watch that stream.
It's just on ferrets.live.
You can just go watch it and the more that you watch that, the more that it helps fund
everything that we're doing.
So thanks, man.
Thanks for watching.
Literally just leaving your stream on and watching that is, it's helping.
Does it really have stink lens and flies?
Yeah, all the poop in the game does.
It's actually a particle effect.
Oh, well.
Disgusting.
Oh, you always have it on?
Thanks, man.
Puzzard with 500 bits said one day a woman had 100 children.
She sadly did not have the creativity to name them all individually so just named them
from one to 100 order.
Unfortunately in a tragic accident 99 of the children died, leaving one one child whose
name was 90. 90 eventually grew older living her life. 90 also had a few children. One
day just after the children had entered their teens they were playing outside and stumbled
upon a stray dog. 90 did not want to own a dog so the children hid it. One half.
Bizarre with 500 bits said however, so the children could talk about the dog without
their mother becoming any wiser they called the dog, this. So they could say things like,
Let's go take this outside.
And other similar things behind their mother's back.
However children being children and not being the most attentive this got loose and ran
out onto the road.
This was hit by a car and killed.
However with this being secret they couldn't properly mourn, though they were able to have
a small remembrance, two-thirds.
Bazaar with 500 bits said, only 90s kids remembered this.
It's the most elaborate shitpost. God damn it.
I'm gonna go use the bathroom. I'll be right back.
I've returned.
It's not a shitpost, it's a poop sculpture.
Twitter. All right, um, the sickle swing thing is the thing that we have to change out. So
I need to go into here and we'll have to go and look at this. We've got sickle swing left
and sickle swing right. I need to remove the damage components from this entirely. We'll
need to override both of these. So we've got these two systems here. I need to change out
They hit entity system on this too.
Entity type interactions, these are all done in parallel.
This interaction here is replace with the effect.
This interaction here is simple
with the break block and harvest.
This interaction here is selector horizontal.
And that one does hit block and then breaks block there.
So I think what I'm going to do is, how do we want this to work?
Do we want the sickle to be an AOE in front of you?
Or do we want the sickle to be hitting the block that you point at?
Do we want it to get one at a time or do we want it to do an AOE of like three?
You like it as AOE?
How do you guys feel about it?
You like it as a cone?
Cause here's, here's the thing, right?
If we make this an AOE, it'll do this. If we go and stand right here,
that's the AOE that it does. Is that fun? Or is it more fun to do just the block directly in front
of you? It's just a sickle, not a scythe, just a sickle. Are you developing some game? We're
We're moving our MMO from Minecraft over to Hytale
and I'm modifying a lot of Hytale functionality for it.
Both.
How about we do this?
We do left click for,
or we do left click for single target,
right click for AOE.
How does that feel?
Do you like that?
Okay, we'll do that.
I think that's kind of cool that way.
Yeah, we'll do that.
Swipe for one block and charge for circle like Zelda.
Um, I think I just want to do left click, right click.
I don't think it needs to be like a full combo thing when you're fighting wheat, right?
Yeah, I'll do both.
I think both is better.
Okay, so if we go down to the sickle, the test sickle, right?
Sickle, and we'll grab the wood one.
The test sickle.
Yeah, it's a sickle used in tests.
What's wrong with you, chat?
Why?
Why would you be laughing at that?
matter with this community. Can't believe it. What did you say? You heard me.
We're sickle attack. Let me see. That goes through root interaction for sickle
attack and that goes to chaining allowance. I don't think this makes sense.
I think left click to swing left right click to swing right. There's the way I don't want to do that
So I don't think I'm gonna do it as a chaining system. I don't think we're gonna chain back and forth looks a little bit weird
Yeah
And it be icy
Get rid of the interaction bars, get rid of the root interactions on these, we'll add
a primary interaction, we'll create an embedded and we'll say that that interaction there
is going to be created embedded and the type is going to be, or not created embedded, we'll
do a reference on this.
existing. We'll make it sickle. And left click is going to be left. And the other one is going
to be on a secondary interaction. I don't care that you failed the code. Why you'd like this?
That will be create embedded and then interactions. And then we'll do this and we'll say reference
existing. Let's say sickle swing right. There we go. So now left click, right click. Cool,
right? So now we can do left, we can do right, and now we can change the functionality between
the two to make it so that the left click one goes single target and the right click one
goes AOE. And we have two different animations, two different sounds for it.
A...
Alright.
I'm going to just change all this shit up.
Let's go to the left click one.
Got a couple different interactions here.
We've got left click simple, break block.
And we're going to need to do matches on that.
So I think we have to do a selector for it.
This is the effect replace.
So we'll do that. Try to think of what else we can do with this. Is that a whale?
No, it's her load bearing bell. If that disappears, if she leaves, the whole thing will explode.
Yeah. So huge, there's huge drama going on with bitcraft right now. What do you mean huge drama drama with bitcraft?
Why would there be drama in bitcraft? That's like one of the most wholesome games around.
Why is anybody upset about that game?
There's a poll about a wipe. Oh,
where's that poll?
They just announced a wipe. I mean, dude, it's in like, it's in early access. They said there
There was going to be wipes and they announced the wipe and people are upset about it.
Is that what's going on there?
You should have it at email.
Yeah, why would they be upset about a wipe?
You think you can get around the WTC fan project policy?
That sounds like a legal question and you should go talk to a lawyer or you should talk to
to, like, wizards to the coast, man.
People are angry about something in a video game.
Yeah, but like, dude, if it's an alpha or beta
or early access and they state there's gonna be wipes,
like, there's gonna be wipes, you know?
Like, that's just kinda how it is.
They do ask about what type of wipe they want,
so they're not even just full wiping,
they're actually asking you.
Then fine, right?
This comes out Tuesday, you're gonna play on stream. Maybe New Genix is cool. Yeah
I'm gonna sneeze. Oh
No, it's running away. No. Oh
God damn sneeze. I
Hate when a sneeze leaves, dude
What is this people are angry about something they already knew about they're just having a tantrum because they put too much time and effort into what they have pre-wipe
Yeah, that's a little bit weird, right? Like, you knew there was going to be a wipe. I don't think I'd be upset about that in any way. I'd be like, cool, we go again, right? You know, like, that's about it. I don't know, maybe I've got a different, like, you know, maybe I've got like a different outlook on that because I play a lot of roguelikes, and I play a lot of like even, even hardcore solo so far in like, Path of Exile, right? So like, when I die, I'm like, whatever, new one.
And people are like, I don't know, people get real weird about that. Cause like I'll be playing, like I was playing witch and I was like level 70 or whatever.
And then I just died and then chat was like, Oh no, God, I don't know. And I was like, well, new one. And chat's like, what?
I was like, yes, let's dive. Whatever. You just make a new one. And then you go again. Right. And it's like that character at like 26 hours on it or something like that.
but like whatever, that's the point, right?
The point is to go again, you know?
Most people probably got recommended into it,
not reading any of the fine print.
You should probably understand fully
and know what you're buying, right?
Let's actually go look at the Bitcraft web page.
We'll go look at Bitcraft on here.
Bitcraft mixed.
I hardly call that a protest, 39 reviews.
Yeah, you should read this. Let me see if there's the word wipe on this. Yep. Additionally, while
occasional wipes will be necessary during early access to adjust progression and balance, we plan
that the final release will feature persistent progression, ensuring that player progress is
never reset. It says it right there. Like you should be reading, if you're buying an early access game,
you need to read this. Like you really do. And I know it's like, oh, well it's in the middle,
and that's a lot of text. You're buying stuff. Yeah, the final release, the final release.
When it's in final release, there won't be wipes anymore. This is while occasional wipes are
necessary during early access, which this is an early access. Yeah, just wipe. It's fine, right?
And if somebody's upset about the game getting wiped, then they probably shouldn't have bought
it in early access. They should be reading what they're purchasing. And I don't think there's
there's a reason to be upset about that.
You knew you were fully informed
of what was going on with this.
And if you decided not to read this section
before purchasing something, skill issue.
Like,
that skill issue at that point,
like I can't be upset, you know?
Yeah.
Nobody reads the TOS, skill issue.
It's not even a TOS, it's like an early access thing that says that your game is going to get wiped multiple times during early access.
Yeah.
Like, that's a company saying exactly what it's going to do, and then doing exactly what they said they were going to do.
Why would I be upset about that?
It's not like with Ashes where they said they were going to do something, and then lied out their ass about it.
They actually said, we're doing this, and then they did it.
And now people are mad like it's totally different scenario right it's super weird
All right light their ashes off they goddamn right did
Okay, so for this selector we're doing a horizontal selector on the right click
Direction to left so different right to the left
Start distance is 0.1 and distance is 2.5, okay, and distance will be, let's say 1.5.
Yeah, start offset is going to be 30 actually, I think that's correct.
Yeah, we'll do it from 30 negative 30 be fine on that.
And then direction to left length is 60.
That's fine.
There have been two lawsuits filed against Intrepid Studios.
Yeah, in fact, I know the employees are suing them as well.
And I hope they win.
win. I just hope they win because what's happening with intrepid is
disgusting.
Dude, and I hope that they find Steven personally liable in those
lawsuits. That's my hope. You know, it's just what he's done is
just awful.
So it sucks. Yeah.
Did he get worse? Yeah, it won't stop getting worse. Like I was
talking to one of the devs two days ago. Makes you see if they've
Is that anything to make sense?
What is this?
Give me a sec.
We'll go grab this and do
into here the actual pirates discordant, one of this.
And yeah, they said, um, I've been talking a little bit about this.
It's one of the employees that we know still works there.
They had 215 employees, um, that doesn't contain all that doesn't
account for the contractors who are all in Canada and are not covered
under the warnect, which sucks for them.
Unfortunately, they can't do anything for them.
And then on top of this.
The project was about to scale, they had finished pipelines, they rebuilt animal husbandry,
they also had new customizations for racial bonuses and buffs and stuff for the different
races.
There was a shitload of performance enhancing stuff, they basically had the gigapatch ready.
And then all this happened.
On top of this, they're getting emails from the board that are AI-generated and don't
say anything that makes any sense.
They have no legal backing and it's just weird shit he's been saying.
They haven't been paid.
It's currently the 7th.
They still haven't been paid.
And the termination letter that they all received of their HR app was polled, meaning
it was removed, which makes it so that a lot of them can't even apply for unemployment.
cool
Yeah, all of this is really bad
So like basically it comes down to is that the dev team was still doing a whole bunch of good shit
the game was actually gonna be moving forward and then Stephen lied to everyone and had an investor that was a scam artist and
And Steven lied to everybody about having investors.
So, I blame Steven for this.
I don't have anyone else to blame at that point.
Like, he just lied and did all of this.
Right.
I wish him a very long and painful lawsuit is effectively how I feel about it.
Yeah, your ears you keep.
your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why.
You blame the scam artist board? Yeah, who do you think hired that board?
By taking their investment money,
while lying to players about it.
That doesn't, that doesn't pop out of nowhere.
Yeah.
The most people in the company also not know about the, the investors.
They didn't.
So talking to the employees, the board appeared six months ago.
They didn't have one before that.
Suddenly there was just a board and everyone's like, what?
So the employees also got swindled here, man.
Like it's.
It's just not right.
None of it's right, man.
Yeah.
It's astounding how one person is effed over so many people, yeah no it's crazy, it's actually
soon.
So there's our left effect, we're going to do a selector, yeah we have to do a selector
and that doesn't make any sense.
Selectors is going to be this and then hit block, we're going to do create embedded,
block excuse me, no wrong one.
to do interactions
to embedded
block
condition
and look at matches
the state is going to be prop final
and then on next
and
under next
up
what does that not have the right choices there, go right block
I need that to be a little bit farther away because that doesn't feel right.
There's got to be a better way.
We'll make that go out a little bit farther.
I also needed to go kind of like more because like when I'm standing right here, it needs
to be a little bit farther out I think.
So on the selector for this, and this is we're going to set that to 2.0, like that.
It's a bit weird that it's going over to the left like that.
I kind of want it to be three in distance, but it's detecting the one out to the side,
so let's get that math a little bit better.
see. Yeah, rotation, I think is up and down. Yeah, extend bottom, extend top, extend distance,
roll offset. Maybe that's not working right. Is it wrong? Does it have to be more? Yaw is
left and right, is it?
the
and
lead to the right. So we actually have to go farther.
We'll say negative 45. There we go.
There we go.
That is exactly what I wanted, to that.
Three in front of you, and the next one is going to be three forward.
So we'll do three forward and three right and left.
And if you want to harvest this way, you totally can.
And if you want to harvest in a straight line, you totally can.
We'll do three in three.
And that'll be cool.
And we get a big fungus.
You know, dude, maybe.
Neat.
and
and it's giving you archaeology experience that's good
what if you want to harvest only one
it's only going to harvest the ones that are full
right
yeah
what
why have you done this
first. And actually checked this out, you know. Yeah, we'll get other models and stuff
for this too. Why are you doing why Jake? Why with your invisible bullshit? Are you breaking
my floor. Why? Why is Jake in the Dev server? Cause he's being a mind terrorist. Might need
it. Doing a laser beam that breaks the floor. No, I don't need that. That's easy. I mean,
Like I'm working with this to get this to function right, you know?
Now I get to get it to do this where it's not a replacement.
See how this one's doing that, right?
Is this a side shooting lasers?
Yeah.
But see how this is doing that?
I wanted to work like that.
Instead it's doing...
That's a problem, right?
Where's the game developer?
think we're doing then we're building out this asset right now so I think when
it hits a block and it finds this condition we need to stop it from
waiting and that's what I need to find out next block break that's cool hit block
Interactions. Block condition. Why is that pausing?
There's the simple runtime. We don't need this. We're getting rid of that. There's a
replace. Default value interaction. There's the swing effect. Does this swing
effect have a timer on it? That's the only thing I've been thinking about. That's a bit weird, yeah.
Isn't it an insane amount of work to port it all to Hytale? Yeah, that's why we're creating
individual buckets, right? So like if I go pull open, say this right here, and we grab Firebolt.
Firebolt is one of the spells that we have over in Minecraft block game. You can see we could just
throw this right and then if I right-click hold it we have like the advanced version of it and then
if we have like Frostbolt you can see that actually throws that effect totally different
spell effects right that's its own thing or reticle-based AOE test reticle AOE you can actually
see we can create a reticle and then like cast a spell on that reticle the idea is to create
prototypes of each and everything that we're trying to do. Right now we're making it so that
profession like breaking blocks under specific conditions gives you experience when you break
those blocks. And so I rebuilt wheat from the game as a new type of crop that has a end state of
crop final. And I'm creating a tool, which is the sickle, that breaks that crop only when it's on
final, as you can see, I won't break it there, and only under certain conditions. So a straight line
selector or an AOE selector to right click. So when you hold down right click, it'll do an AOE
of three in front of you. When you left click, there's an AOE of three straightforward. And that
gives you kind of like the choice for how you want to do this. So not only are we taking this stuff
from Minecraft block game, but improving it along the way and then kind of going from there. At the
same time, I've also set up the design document for everything. You can actually go through this
yourself and then go grab that. Let me go back and grab this whole thing. Grab that. There we go.
And you can take this and then go into here and then do that. And there you go. You can have that
whole thing and go read it yourself. And that's like all of our design document stuff for, you know,
Google Docs. We've got all of our stuff in here for like player stats. We've got our town's player
stats, status effects, gathering, crafting, gear balance, so on and so forth. Right. And that's sort
of the whole idea with that. Of like being able to get all that stuff and kind of go from there
and do whatever you want to do with that and like learn about it. So whatever you want to see what
we're working on. Shade your mind, you do. You just have to sit down and try shit, man. And like,
that's the idea is this is going to be broken a shit for a while, but like whatever. We've got
certain things working already. We've got archaeology experience coming out of wheat, which means that
we can have herbalism or forging or farming or whatever the hell we want to do come out of wheat
instead. That works with our custom stat system. If I pull this over here, and you look at stats,
I wrote this yesterday, and this is all the new statistics we're having in the game and how all
of those function, right? So like with each of these, if you go down here and you look at EXP
with foraging or EXP with farming, that's what we're going to be working on today. And the
idea is to set up the tool for it and set up the stats on the tool and then set up the actual
like wheat crop as our baseline and then just duplicate the shit out of that basically.
Yeah. When you want AOE to hit slower to balance it. Yeah. I mean, that's not done yet.
That's the idea is like to try and mess with it for right now. And then, you know, over time, tune it up.
It's not tuned yet. I'm just going to play around with it. You know what I mean?
But that's sort of the whole idea. It's just to mess with this and then like
play around with it, make it better. So will over time. That's about it.
two
There we go.
Nice.
We have to get a well survey.
It sucks.
They have to do a bacteria and nitrate test for the existing well.
Neat.
Yeah.
No Byron.
Although that's very funny.
Well that's not good.
I mean it's alright.
Jake did you just update this again?
You goblin-ass.
What did you do?
finished making all of our database code async. It's still slow for towns because you haven't
optimized it yet, but it no longer lags everything else on the server. Good. As long as it's async
for now, I mean, that's, that's a much better experience. If it was running on the same server
thread, then it's not great running in an asynchronous that's much faster. So at least it won't
damage game state. Slow, but won't damage game state. If the survey goes well, I know right.
Good morning. Good morning to you. Also, somebody was asking earlier if I'm done with Dune.
No, I'm just, I'm waiting for me to fix some bugs. There was a lot of weird shit in that
dungeon that we went through and I was not a fan. And I'm struggling to find, I'm struggling
to find the fun in their end game loop right now. And I've given some feedback and I just kind of,
I'm just kind of waiting, you know, any new content, they released a bunch of new content,
but it's not, some of it's not good.
And some of it's kind of confusing.
The new end game loop is a little bit weird, right?
Like the new end game loop is going to a dungeon.
If you die, you lose durability, right?
So durability goes down, which is nasty because when you repair things and doing durability
is permanently reduced, your max durability is.
If you win the dungeon, you get blueprints,
and those blueprints give you mods,
and those mods apply to items to make them stronger,
but also reduce their ability,
which doesn't feel good.
Like the end result is that your items
are always losing permanent durability,
which feels really bad and then this scales infinitely from plus one up to
plus 100 so you're just burning gear to get mods to burn gear so like I don't
understand this system I don't the wind condition feels like a kick in the
balls, the loss condition feels like two kicks in the balls.
So I'm kind of like, I'm kind of confused as to, yeah,
Arrakis takes, it's just theft.
Cause like our old gameplay loop was go to the deep desert, go into a dungeon,
clear the dungeon, get blueprints, make cool gear, right?
That, that turns into gear.
And that was fun.
It's fun to just grab gear and get stronger, right?
You make all these different things and all that shit.
This, I don't think is necessary.
I think they should just get rid of that. I don't think there's any reason for that because you're
already getting the blueprint, the limited run blueprint for it. You're already using mats to
make these mods. They're already one time use and then it also damages the item and it's like
come on man. Like what? You don't need to keep kicking them in the balls for no reason. Like
you just give them something cool, you know, like give them give them something beneficial, right?
I don't know it just it feels like it feels like unnecessarily mean to the player and also one of the dungeons is giga-untune mess the lightning dungeon
The way that you can beat it right now is you bring a las gun and you shoot the boss in the face before his face kills you
Which is not gonna work at higher levels of gameplay
Like he's gonna be unkillable at a certain point and the other ones are totally fightable because you can do their mechanics
but his mechanics are not like doable, you know. Yeah.
Seen a lot of these devs these days doing double or triple negatives to progression.
I wish they would see it's not fun at all. Dude, I agree. Like I super agree with that.
You need to let the players number go up like you need it. I think the problem that they don't
realize is that you don't need to set the player back to keep the in-game economy going.
The way that you do that is you do it by nickel and diming other stuff that they're doing.
like they're already putting in effort when you're when you're building something.
First, you have to do the content to get the blueprint, right? So you have to do something
for that. Then you have to get the mats to build this. And then that thing itself has durability
that degrades. That's punishment enough. That means that they have to go make the thing over again,
right? The way that I've done it in our system is when that durability goes down,
you actually get the ability to repair. When you do that, you get corruption on it. And corruption
makes sense if the overall stats of the item are reduced, but you can cleanse corruption
by pouring more mats into it. So if you really like an item, you can keep it fully upkeep
indefinitely, but it's work. So the player has something to do that's improving the
quality of their gear at all times, and it takes less effort to upkeep than it does to
fully refit a new item, which means that they have an incentivization to do this instead
of just throwing the items away, right? So like that's how we've done in block game.
And I think that this system actually works really well. And if you don't want it, if
it gets too low and you don't want to, you know, do the maintenance on it, you throw
it away or you salvage it and you get other items out of it. That's fine. Right. And I
don't think there's any real negatives to that. It's just kind of like a, wow, it's
degrading. And now I built a new one, right? Or you sell it to another player. Exactly.
But with the idea of like permanent durability loss and there's no recovery from that, if
you want to make that your basis, don't make it so that when I upgrade that item, I also
lose permanent durability because I'm already going to lose permanent durability through
generally using that item anyway, because I've upgraded it to use it.
It just doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
No.
Kiss curse is fine.
Kiss, curse, curse, curse, curse.
when it becomes a problem. Yeah. You like the idea yesterday of making a dungeon where the players
can risk the challenge parts of the dungeon and get loot? Yeah. So that's what we do in block game
is like right now it's got like middle ground pieces. There may be like another boss in here,
like a mini boss. But the idea is that I want you to go through the dungeon, get a reward,
go through the dungeon more, get a reward. And then like the side, do I want to, you know,
like kill the boss, get your big reward, the big boy one, like the plus reward, and then be like,
Do I want to leave right now? And if you want to leave, you leave and you keep all your shit.
If you want to keep going, you risk it. And I think that's a fine way to handle this.
You know, of like, give players a failout option, like the boss dies and turns into a portal,
and then you risk it. That's like Warframe. Yes, I learned that from Warframe,
from doing like survival missions and shit like that. Like how long do you survive on the map?
It's like, Hey, you've gone five rounds.
You want to keep going?
It's going to get harder.
You risk it, but you could totally stay if you'd like to or defense missions
or any of those, all of those work like that in warframe.
How do you know about warframe?
I've played a lot of warframe.
I play in an aros prime with herudo and a ribbon mod.
That's my, uh, my favorite combination.
Yeah.
But like with this dude, like it's, uh, it's, I learned that from
more friend at that gameplay loop is very fun. And that's all you really need to do
is give the player the choice. The moment you give them the choice, you're good. Yeah,
that's all you need to do. Have you got the Kota Haruto? No, but I have the original Haruto
and I have, um, the reason why I like Haruto is it used to be hidden. It used to not be
listed on the item, but when you crit with it, you heal for the amount that you crit
for. So I made an entire build about being effectively immune to stuns, playing on a
Nauros where you get massive armor. I know I have to 100 form a my Nauros. I know I have to. I don't
have that. I think I've done like eight one him or some shit. But with that in mind, like I, I have
to, or Herudo, then I have a over 100% crit chance. So it's doing red crits at all times. And I have a
full set to make it always red crits, like the gig of red crit. And I just go through steel path and
one shot everything and full heal every time I do. And it's fun. It's like really fun. Actually,
What does hundred four make do? It's just a flex. Because I have an enorus prime, so like flexing
the hundred four monoros solidifies me as the enorus guy effectively. I want a hundred four
momo by like Haruto as well, but now there's Dakota Haruto. So, you know, I think there's
nowadays are missing the fundamental question. Is it fun? I agree with you on that. I would honestly
agree with you because it's, it's come to the point where like, I don't know if that's a question
that was asked. It's all about coulda, but not about shoulda. Is that system fun?
And I feel like that question wasn't asked hard enough. It's like, yeah, we could totally make
the gear degrade faster. Yeah, but is that fun, man? Does that feel good? When I get an upgrade,
should I be thinking about how detrimental that upgrade is? Because I think the answer is no.
I think that the answer is when you get an upgrade it should upgrade you
Right
This like is am I taking crazy pills there like is that is that makes sense at that point of like when they get an upgrade
It should be an upgrade
Not a kick in the balls and
Maybe an upgrade like just an upgrade. Yeah
Yeah. My face went upgrade. Yeah, exactly. It should just, it should just upgrade you. Yeah, upgrade means number goes up. Yeah, but it seems that the reason why I think this is so punishing is you have to run a dungeon. So you're taking risk to get a random blueprint. It is random, which one you're going to get.
and then you have to spend mats and then it's a one use and then when you
apply it it reduces the durability of you the item you apply it to look at all
the pieces of pain in this risking in the dungeon you get a one use blueprint
right you have to spend mats to build it you have to build a station to build it
at by the way and apply it and then it damages the item you put it on like
stop it. That's too much pain for something that should just be an upgrade, right? Like,
I'm fine with it being like a one-use blueprint where you take risk for it and maybe even
spending mats at that point, but no durability loss. Or it doesn't take mats, it takes durability
loss instead. But not all of these, like just reduce, like remove one of them. It's just pain
this way. I don't know man, it feels bad. Oh yeah, that's the other thing too. You only
get the blueprint if you win the dungeon. If you don't win the dungeon, you just get durability
loss on all of your gear because you die.
I don't know, it just feels bad, man.
I want that game to be good, too.
Wow, Mythic Dungeon issues? No, not even Wow Mythic Dungeon issues,
Because in Mythic Dungeons and WoW and Mythic Plus, if you die and you lose durability,
just go repair to vendor who gives a shit. Right? This is if you lose durability and you repair,
you lose permanent durability from the maximum. Hey Mahoodles, what's up?
How's it going? Personally, you don't see the problem as long as it's balanced,
it doesn't feel good though, right? It just doesn't feel good. Like imagine you do a whole
whole bunch of work for a drawback for Gathion. You see, see the thing? Yeah.
Just compared to hardcore Terraria. Yeah, but it's not hardcore Terraria.
Also never played hardcore Terraria.
How hard are mats to make? You're talking hours, man.
Like you're farming for hours to get all the stuff, to be able to build that on
top of running that dungeon for an hour on top of maybe not getting the thing
you want on top of if you die you lose overall durability on all of your gear
anyway like it's not I wouldn't I just wouldn't it just feels bad and you know
why twitch has put Roblox tab at the top of my screen I don't I can't stop them
from doing that I wish I could I'm not even getting paid for that that's like a
a site-wide thing, dude. Sucks. Yeah, works! Hell yeah.
Boss. Are you a Roblox? Dude, I'm 10 Roblox apparently.
Yeah, no. To be real with you, they're running ads with the entire website and there's nothing
we can do about it as streamers. Like, which is doing some kind of a deal with Roblox. Streamers
are not getting paid for that. We're not. It's not a sponsorship deal. It's just Twitch
plastering a bunch of like constant things on the stream and it's misleading for viewers
because they think that in some way I am financially tied to or business tied to Roblox in some
way and I am not at all. And it's like 10 days. Yeah. So like if you see advertisement
for this, that is not us as streamers. That is Twitch the platform doing this and it's
misleading to viewers and I'm not a fan of this. Do you really not get paid for
banner ads? For normal banner ads, yes, but this is a totally different thing,
Mahoodles, and my ad revenue has not changed at all during this campaign from
Twitch. So they're not paying out. Like we see ad revenue within 12 hours, not a
single thing has changed. Not on our channel, not on the ferret stream, not
nobody that I've talked to. Like if Twitch is doing a campaign, a site-wide
campaign with 247 banners and all of our channels and our ad revenue doesn't go up at all, we're
not getting paid for that. They're just advertising Roblox, which to be real with you, I don't
want to be associated with Roblox. Especially not after they just released a giant AI tool
that ripped off Expedition 33. I don't know if you saw that shit too earlier today. I put
out a post about this. It's stupid. Yeah, here. This is from Roblox official. This is
not like a meme. This is their new AI tech to do real-time dreaming. And this is a video
that they put out. They put it out. And that's just my L from Expedition 33, an environment
from Expedition 33 ripped off into their AI system and made using their tools. No, it's
just plagiarism. It's just theft. It's copyright infringement. Like it's just stealing, dude.
And then they put this out as like the next gen technology for building things, right?
Yeah, no Roblox of this.
This is their tweet from Roblox official showing this.
So I clowned on it because I'm like, this is stupid as shit.
I was like, look, you can make experiences such as scuffed expedition 33, a 10 FPS melting
penguin or flying bird blob Sky Island simulator.
And that's not a joke that's in their video.
It's a mesh dude.
like, look at this, the next one, penguin on a glacier.
Watch it like melt in and out of reality in its head.
Like what is, and it was like flying there for a moment.
Now it's back on the ground.
Like it's so bad that they just switched away from it
immediately.
This one is like you're flying on this weird bird creature,
but there's no animations of the character
and their arms are melting and like watch the mountains.
You see these mountains up there?
Just remember that in your mind for a moment,
the existence of those mountains.
And you tip the camera down and away,
and you say, oh, where they're gone, they're gone.
And now it's, and then they're like, oh, you landed.
And it like doesn't line up with its own landing model.
And then like, it has to like merge into it.
And then he's just running in the air.
Like, so like, bro,
I don't want to be associated with fricking Roblox.
Get the shit off my page.
like, which Jesus Christ dude, like,
but yeah, they, they announced this.
When did they announce this?
Yeah, the beginning of the video has stolen assets designed
from Claire Baskier exhibition 33 by San Paul Interactive.
The environment is the flying waters area
and the girls and videos mile.
Like they're even calling them out directly, right?
So it's like, and this launched three days ago,
they said this.
I just, I'm always amazed at like Twitch's lack of understanding optics for this shit man.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, Simon even destroyed him from Hytale.
He shit right on him.
He was like, nope.
Then just dunked him dude.
And I liked that post the other day.
It's just grim.
The whole thing is just insanely grim.
Yeah.
But I'm, I'm really not happy with Twitch man.
Like I'm really not.
I think that what they're doing is really stupid.
And it makes everyone who's streaming on the platform
look bad because it makes it look like we are somehow
profiting or having a business partnership with Roblox
while they're doing this.
And the part that's insane about that is like,
we're not getting paid for that.
None of us are getting paid for that.
They're just putting it up on our pages
and a uninformed viewer could believe
that we have a business deal with Roblox.
I don't, I don't like them.
I don't like what they're doing.
They've turned into a Slopperator prime hub, dude.
Yeah, I know a lot of people have banner ads,
some of them don't though, some of you guys don't.
I can't believe they just ripped off so many games.
The reason why is they used AI to generate that, dude.
And it doesn't give a shit where it gets
its training data from.
It doesn't care.
So all it did was it was like,
Oh yeah, woman in glowing cave.
And it's like, wow, yeah, let's just pull a woman model
from something that's really popular.
Oh, look, it's my elf from Expedition 33.
That's not even a cave.
It's just insane, dude.
Like, I, could they face legal troubles for this?
God, I hope so.
I hope so, man.
Cause it's just a mess.
Yeah, it's mail, but a truck ran her over exactly.
So like I see this shit, I'm just like cut it out dude.
Like I don't, I don't get it.
It makes me wonder like how much money did Roblox pay,
play or pay Twitch that Twitch is willing to do this
and how bad a straights is Twitch in
if they're accepting business deals like that
while companies are doing that shit.
But you know, honestly, I shouldn't be surprised.
I shouldn't even be surprised about this.
And the reason why is this, let me pull this up.
Let me grab this.
Twitch has been doing this for ages, man.
This was that cat in the chatty mode that they released during Christmas like two years
ago, and it's a fully AI generated cat.
If you go to Twitch right now and you go to categories on Twitch, then we go look up
Food
Food and drink they changed the food and drink icon ages ago man. Let me grab this
Like they changed this a while back and it's got like AI generated carrots that are actually sausages in it dude and
Like a celery wall
Like they did this shit ages ago
They've been doing this for a long time like this isn't new from Twitch
They've been doing AI generated dog shit on their platform for each and the fork is super weird
But this is actually the category I come for it. Do you want to see the original one?
Let me show you the original category for this man
You see
Yeah here
Hold up. I
Gotta wait for this to like load because it's ugly as shit
They actually, AI generated the art one too, man.
So like these are the original ones on the bottom
and they changed them to the ones on the top.
So food and drink changed that AI art one.
Beauty and body art changed the AI one on the top.
Talk shows and podcasts is now yellow on purple.
Bro, what?
And then art changed to this AI generated art frame.
And like they did this a while ago.
Yeah, they went from the bottom to the top.
It's a massive downgrade.
It never made any sense, dude.
Some intern did a great job with this.
This happened years ago though.
So like this isn't new,
which has been going this direction
for like the last three to four years, man.
So I'm not surprised.
It's just kind of par for the course,
but like, holy shit,
when do they gonna learn that this is like not what people want?
And like, when are they gonna learn that?
As watching the stream now learning,
a hundred percent, yeah, a hundred percent it is, man.
So like, I don't know,
Like this is just, to me, subjectively,
talk shows and podcasts looked better.
It looked unique before.
And now it's purple text on a yellow background
with two microphones.
This is like graphic design is my passion, shit, dude.
Like what, are you kidding me?
It's Laker colors?
No, because the Lakers are smart enough
that they understand graphic design enough
to put a border around their text.
there's not even a border around the letters on this man
but i'm a crash out of that
the lakers at least look good
this does not
you have to put a border around the shit
uh... god
and look at the shit
the reason the lakers one looks good is because of the borders on it
they don't even do that
It's just purple on yellow too.
For Laker fan confirm, I used to live in California.
You can't get away from the Lakers in California.
Why is it so bright?
I don't know, man.
It's hard to look at.
But like so that when I see this stuff
and then I see Twitch now doing deals with Roblox
and Roblox pushing out AI generated dog shit,
I'm not really surprised.
And I don't think anyone should really be surprised.
It's very clear that Twitch has kind of cast their lot on this.
They want to push AI generated garbage.
They want this.
This is something they've pushed as a company initiative for years now.
And if you don't know the history and you think this is like a one-off and
you're just kind of disappointed, it is a history.
They've been doing this for years and they do it across the entirety of the
website. They've done it in emote design.
They've done it in, in category design.
They've done it through their collaborations.
They've done it through internal tooling.
They've done it through moderation that we've caught them on in the past.
And now they're doing it with business partnerships with other companies that are also using AI-generated art.
This is not new. This is the direction of Twitch. This is a brand decision for them.
It sucks.
Yeah, they even talked about bringing an EMOTE AI generator for streamers. Exactly.
Because that'll go over well.
You know, I remember the last time that a company really went all in on AI image generation.
So it's a little company called, I don't know, Twitter.
And their offices in France just got rated for that AI generating so much child porn that the
government got involved. Really good move, I think, there. That's a sound business decision.
You think that's a joke? That's not a joke!
100% true!
It's bad, dude.
Enjoy that.
Take you like one second, I know, because you could literally just be like,
Twitter, France, rated. My search was literally Twitter offices rated France.
And by the way, if you're wondering if it actually was child pornography,
it is. Paris prosecutors rate X offices as part of investigation over child abuse images and deepfakes.
Maybe we shouldn't overindex on this technology.
Which, maybe that's a bad idea. Maybe you shouldn't be doing that.
Maybe that's really foolish
It's gonna put that out there. Maybe it's that's a stupid thing to do. Hey, that's really dumb. Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, you'll try to go ahead this isn't fair in France is like it is fair
What's your biggest hurdle with block-in so far? Just kind of fixing stuff with high-tail systems.
I think the biggest problem that we see right now is that items are a monolithic structure that
cannot be modified effectively inside of high-tail. And if you want to modify that, you have to change
out the entire drop system, all of the equipment system, all of like item looting systems, like
everything, you'd have to rebuild the core of the game. And all they need to do is add a customizable
component that we can have exposed from Java and then implement onto items and all of these
problems go away. So we gave that as feedback to them as a feature request is like, hey, we need a
custom component. We need the ability to hook a custom component to define an item. And once they
allow us to do that, all these problems are gone. So I think that's the largest hurdle. It's not
even a hurdle. It's a full roadblock. It's a full stop roadblock for us. We have to get that fixed.
Other developers are going to have the same issue. You need to be able to define components.
And it's not standard with the rest of the game either, so NPCs actually already work the way
that we're hoping they'll change items into, where you're able to hook on and change out custom
components like that. You can't do it with items currently, so if they want to fit to their own
standards, that'll be updated eventually, and we're just kind of pushing them for it. Be like,
like, hey, you should do this.
All right, ads are gone.
Yeah, dude, like the biggest problem I have with kick and kick
has reached out to me a number of times to be clear.
They've reached out and asked me to switch over to their
platform. I think three times now.
It's like three.
But like the each time that I talk to them, I go, Hey, your
moderation is so bad that it's in the news.
And then each time they're like, Hey, we're working on moderation much more.
And I go, okay.
Cause like, I'd love, I'd love for, honestly, I would love for kick to be a good
competitor to Twitch.
I would love for that.
They just haven't been the whole time.
Like, and I think that to me is pretty just not good.
Like they, they need to be a competitor.
Then you stop thinking around, you know, cause like, you have to think about it this
way. We run an entire animal rescue off of ad revenue. If you have a platform where their
reputation is so negative that it's in the news all the time for being mad, how are they
going to get ads? And the answer is they won't. How do we run the animal rescue that running
on a platform like that with such a negative, like negative reputation for that? And people
go, oh, they give 95% of subs. Subs are not the whole income of a
streamer. Not even close. So when we're running an animal rescue, I
can't base it off of that. I need something that's more static.
That's based more off of just the amount of viewers without you
paying money. And that's where ads come in to do that, where we
can take money from corporate entities that are advertising and
you know, save animals with that instead of you throwing money, right? That's not a super sustainable model, especially with the economy and the way that it is.
That's a terrible, terrible direction for that, just only relying on that. And I think it's, it's a better model to be like, hey, the corporate, you know, the corporate structure is paying for this.
Yeah, subs are no good out here. I need something more real. I mean, it's not even just that. It's just that
They've over-indexed on that being like the end-all be all and I'm like, dude
That's not the case and it's funny because I know that there are content creators like Asmongold that put out stuff
They're like, well, I don't make any money off ads. It's like, of course you don't you do you do
Political content. There's no ad revenue from that for political content. But like if you're looking at
You know what we do for ad revenue. We run a whole animal rescue
with
60 on average exotic animals because ferrets are exotics,
which means they cost more when you go to the vet.
All of the medical, all of the food, multiple employees,
one full-time and two part-time employees,
all off of ad revenue for them.
And we're building the largest rescue in the world for them
as a standalone structure using that ad revenue.
So it's not like it's a small thing.
Like it actually adds up very quickly,
especially if you're being smart about it.
So the idea of switching to a platform
It just doesn't have a structure like that.
It's just not smart.
It doesn't make any sense on top of the moderation and other issues.
So there's a business problem there.
There's a moderation problem there.
And it just doesn't make sense.
I don't like gambling either.
I'm not a fan.
Yeah, I don't like the gambling background.
That was one of the things that I brought up to the multiple times.
I was like, I really don't like the association with gambling.
And they, they, they tried to tell me like, Oh, no, it's not.
There's separate entities.
And I was like, when I go to their platform and I see that it's like most of the top
content is people gambling, like, you know, like that's not,
I don't like gambling, like at all.
I think that it is, I think it just leads to bad, bad states.
People get addicted to it.
I don't want that shit to be tied to my content in any way.
Yeah.
Did they not also tell you to f off?
No, they've never told me to f off.
They just keep contacting me like every six months, me like,
Hey, and I'm like, no, this last time it ended on me asking
about their new kicks system because they have a thing like bits called kicks, right? Yeah.
Do they also still do watch parties? Yeah, they've got a whole section of their website
dedicated to copyrighted content, which I think is not smart. There's a lot of tie-ins with gambling,
there's moderation issues, and no advertisers touching it with a 10-foot pull. So you just
just have this like really weird sort of an environment that just kind of seems unstable.
You know what I mean? It seems unstable and kind of not long term. It seems like short
term gains kind of a thing. I don't want to be a part of a system like that. They got
to figure this shit out. Yeah, it's an unhealthy environment. Yeah. So I think that over time
maybe they'll figure it out.
And it seems like part of their shit
has gone in the right direction, right?
But right now, not so much, man.
Like that's, they need to become a competitor for Twitch.
And it sucks because every day I see Twitch
make decisions like this,
they're just kind of further shitting the bed,
but there's no alternative, man.
How do you see Twitch long-term?
I used to see Twitch long-term as something
that would be around, like, and they were doing a good job.
Like when Dan Clancy took over
and he changed it so that affiliates can now get 70, 30.
And they got rid of all the backroom deals
for all the major streamers and like all that kind of shit.
And they made it so that it was just a system
that you can engage with.
And if you get a certain number of sub points,
you can actually get a 70, 30 split.
I love that.
I thought that was great
because you didn't even need to be a partner
to get that deal anymore.
That was fantastic.
And like I thought Twitch was going in a good direction
during that.
But since then, they've started the overindex
on AI generated content.
Like in emotes and in systems and in moderation and in like category icons and now with doing partnerships with companies like Roblox while they're dropping AI generated technology shit.
And then this, this new weird shit with their, their like, like bounty system is just a ripoff for a lot of people. Like a lot of people don't realize this.
If you're a streamer and this is I'm gonna I'm gonna
Reveal the back room for you for a moment. You guys ready for the back room reveal
You're ready for this if you are a streamer and you take a sponsor
The average income from a sponsor is one to two dollars per average concurrent viewer of your stream per hour of gameplay
per hour
Twitch pays less than half on their sponsorship deals for that
less than half. If you take those sponsorship deals, people know and you will get lobald
in deals that you try to make outside of Twitch. It is not worth it to do this. That is a very bad
thing to do for your career if you are trying to be a streamer full-time. Super weird, right?
So like when I see stuff like that, I'm like, Twitch, you're not offering a good deal
and it's to your benefit and I just can't engage with it, right?
And the other thing is is twitches are an all or nothing sponsorship when you get a sponsorship with a company
They pay upfront they pay that money you do the deliverables you get the cash, right with twitch
They say hey, you need 500 average viewers to get x number of dollars, right?
And if you are below this they pro rate that x number of dollars based on how much below to a limit
Let's say you go below 200. Guess how much you get for the time? Zero.
And when you're doing sponsored content, usually your viewership drops naturally because some of
the people in your community aren't going to be interested in the new content. So you are more
likely to go under their minimum and thus receive no money for your time. No other sponsorship in
the industry works this way. Only Twitch. I have never seen a deal that works this way. You do the
job, you get paid. With Twitch, you do the job. You might not.
That's just, I've never seen that. So I see these types of things
that Twitch is doing. And I'm like, dude, what are you doing,
man? Like, what are you, what are you doing? It's just super
strange, man. When did you start earning enough on Twitch to go
full time? I think when we had 50 average viewers, and I was
eating ramen and being like super frugal about it. I'm still
super frugal and silly ramen. But like, now I have a bunch of
of employees, right?
And like, that's the important thing to me
is that they got jobs.
That's all I give a shit about.
That's why I stream long hours
and do all the stuff that I do.
Cause we get ad revenue,
you guys throwing subs and bids,
like all of that pays for the whole machine.
Amazon just pays just over 1% tax.
I don't think it's an Amazon, probably.
I think it's a Twitch thing, right?
You know, like, I think,
I think that's the biggest thing with that is like,
I see these types of business things
and the average person doesn't understand
that that is a rip off.
They just see the big number and they think,
oh, that's really good.
It's like, no, no, no.
Like a streamer is a barricade
from advertisers to their audience.
I accept jobs when I'm doing sponsorships
because either I believe in the thing that they are doing
or I like that business
and I can see the direction that they're going.
You are the filter for that to your audience.
And they are paying for access to your audience.
They're not paying you because they like you.
They're paying you because they want access to the people that care about the things that
you say.
That's what they're doing.
So, when I see a business like Twitch that kind of injects themselves in the middle of
that and gives a lower deal, it damages the entire industry because now all these different
third parties think, oh, I could just pay them less and they're going to totally take
that deal.
That makes everybody make less money.
It devalues the entirety of the industry and it's not good, dude, yeah.
Or we can pay in subs. God damn right. That's that new one too. They have a new sub related
thing with kick continuously dropping the ball. I don't think it's surprising that twitch is
up to what twitch is up to. Yeah, I think if kick was like a more put together platform,
I think twitch would probably stop being a piece of shit on all these things. I think
they'd have to like, you know, tighten the belt and actually like stop over indexing
and shit that people think is weird. But I just don't know, man. I don't understand
the reason. I think Amazon started out as a used bookseller and now we haven't talked
about the ads on Twitch in a while. It's really bad. Would pay you 10K for you to experience
it now. What do you mean? Oh, you mean for like, like for, for like watching ads on Twitch?
Oh, I know it's, it's pretty wild. I mean, that's why I pause for them. That's why this
whole screen that pops up for this specifically, you know, like is, is I don't like you guys
losing visibility on shit because the ads are playing. You support me just by being
here and watching the ads. I don't think that it makes any sense to do that. I feel like
not possible. There's too many monoliths in the internet service landscape. There are.
I agree with that. The problem is, is every time somebody has an upstart platform to do
this, you know what they do? They just go through Amazon again. It's just Amazon back
end all over again. And then they're bound by the same problems.
Talking about business competition, has the whole steam lawsuit thing been talked about?
Steam lawsuit. We talked about it ages ago. I don't think that's going anywhere. Just
like it didn't two years ago when they tried it in 2024.
And I said the exact same tweet about it back then too.
Rumble had a good chance to hang with Twitch.
Dude, I think Rumble, the problem that I have with Rumble
is weird.
I don't know what happened.
I don't know why this happened,
but it became a politically driven platform.
So when you think about Rumble,
a lot of people think about right-leaning content.
And when you think about Blue Sky,
you think about left-leaning content.
That political association makes it really difficult for a streamer that doesn't deal in politics to want to stream on that platform.
That's just how it works, right? Like, I don't, I don't like dealing with political anything. I don't think that that's beneficial when my message is for you to be creative, right? I just want you to make things.
So if, if you associate with a platform that has a political leaning, that starts to change people's perception of your content to think that it's politically skewed in some way.
which doesn't make sense. So like you have to be cognizant of that. It's like I could go
streaming that, but like what's the cost, right? Agreed, no, blue team versus red team. Yeah,
exactly. I don't give a shit who you've like the way I feel about it. I vote, you should vote,
you should vote in your local elections and your national elections. I'm not going to tell you who
I voted for, and I don't want you to tell me who you voted for. And we're going to get along just
fine. That's it. I don't give a shit. I don't care who you voted for. It's not my business, right?
who I vote for is not your business.
Just make shit, make things.
I don't care if you're on the right,
on the left, in the middle, don't care.
Make things, right?
It's important.
Except for Skyrim belongs to the Norths.
That's the only, that's true.
Yeah, that's just objectively true.
Yeah.
So I think that's like the other thing too,
is like it ends up being like,
it ends up being like a weird thing with that.
And I don't really know where the landscape of streaming is.
Right now, I don't know the direction that's going.
but it's in a weird spot, dude.
And the only options you have is you have YouTube.
Like these are the kind of the monoliths of streaming.
You've got YouTube, and if you stream on YouTube,
the tools are not as good, discovery is not as good.
It's a weirder experience for your creator,
like for your viewers, right?
You don't even have animated emotes.
If you go to Twitch, they have, I feel,
subjectively the best experience for viewers
out of all of it, but ads are insufferable
you have to deal with that.
The way that they have them set up is not very good.
And it's kind of like really oppressive.
It was fine when it was just in the channel,
but now it's outside of the channel
and they're associating with businesses like Roblox
and all this shit and I can't get rid of it off of my channel.
I don't want to be associated with that.
And then you have kick, which is kind of like
the Wild West low moderation, really bad rap.
And then you've got Rumble,
which is seen as a politically driven platform.
So like where you have to choose
between those, and they're not good choices. None of these are really good choices. Twitch,
I feel, is the best choice of those. But will it be forever? I don't know. I don't know.
Right? I want it to be. I'd like them to pull their head out of their ass, but like, maybe
they won't. They will just be like this, right? Yeah. Remember Facebook? Yeah, Facebook has
stuff too, but I'm going to be real with you. I've talked to other people who went to go
stream on Facebook live, people who actually took deals and did that full time. And talking
to them, they were like, it was the worst experience they ever had. They had absolutely
no discoverability. Their chat was constantly filled with people that had no idea what streaming
was or thought that they were a static video, like just all kinds of weird, weird behavior
stuff because the audience there is not used to streaming in any possible capacity. Like
it's not for like Facebook isn't really for that, you know, so like I the way I feel about
right now is twitch is for live content. YouTube is for static content. You know, so it's super weird.
Yeah. It's basically a relic of the past. Could be. Yeah. Facebook is for boomers. I don't think it
is. I think it's just for a specific, it's for static text content in a blog format. Right.
That's what people are used to for. I couldn't even tell you last time Facebook showed me a stream.
Yeah, exactly. It's just, that's it. Facebook is for misinformation content. I know. I have to
to talk to my grandma about it every week, every week.
She's always showing me like a new AI image.
She's like, this is scary.
And I was like, that's not real.
She's like, did you see that this politician did this?
And I was like, that's not a real video, you know?
Oh, they found a giant snake in the Amazon.
I'm like, that's not real.
And I have to walk her through.
I'm trying to inoculate her against this
and be like, this is how they're made.
You can see that this is fake.
And it's scary for her, you know?
But like that's what Facebook is now.
He tried streaming on LinkedIn. Jesus.
That's just Facebook for people looking for jobs. Right? Like it's not,
that ain't it streaming in my space. Oh God. No. No, no.
But yeah, I think, I think the weirdest thing about this is
we could have had mixer, but they screwed up the player behavior check.
That could have worked, man. It really could have.
They screwed up so dumb on that one.
Floatplane seems good. Yeah, Floatplane looks cool. I don't know much about it for that, man.
Yeah. Yeah, Mixer. They screwed it up. How many of you guys not know the story of Mixer? Like, why it imploded?
Because there's a really funny thing with that that I discovered with it when it was going down.
What happened to Mixer? Mixer screwed up player behavior. It's a really interesting kind of like, like, what's, let's walk through this.
Mixer had this thing called Sparks, and they had another thing called Embers.
And Sparks, if you're on Twitch, you know what a channel point is. A channel point,
those points are given to you for that specific channel. Sparks were a global point system.
So it was channel points, but anywhere. And if you threw Sparks at a streamer, it would give them
plus percent Embers whenever you threw Embers, and Embers are like bits, they're the same, right?
that embers and bits are the same, it's real money, right?
So what was happening is people would go to these channels
like Monster Cat Radio was the biggest one on Mixer
and people would go in there
and the title of Monster Cat Radio was 24 seven
get your sparks here.
Like they knew what was going on
and people would leave their computer running overnight
or have it on a phone and put it in their desk or whatever,
right?
And they would just be AFK watching the stream
to generate sparks.
They would then take this during the day
and give it to their favorite streamer
to increase the amount of embers that Streamer got
to give them more money.
What have you done by doing this?
You have trained your entire audience to be bots.
Every normal user now looks like a bot.
So now your platform looks like it has a really huge amount
of watch time, massive amount of watch time.
And at the time, Mixer didn't have ads.
And then they opened for ads
because the watch time looks really good.
But guess what?
Nobody's clicking through
because they're all acting like bots
because they're farming their global point currency system.
Whoops.
So advertisers are like,
yeah, we're gonna pay a lot of money.
And I'm getting the lowest click-through rate
of any platform I've ever advertised on.
Then...
Like it was just like, dude,
you could see that coming 10 miles away, dude.
Like what, you can't, that's a player behavior fail.
you have to be able to see that. Yeah, like you have to be able to see that ahead. Like
turn your headlights on a little bit and be like, what are we training people to do by
building a system that's gamified this way? And I think that's the problem with that.
Like you have to think like a dev, man. You have to think about what is a player going to do
and how does that change their interaction with your platform? If you're going to gamify your
platform, how does a player play that platform? And I think that was really important. It's the
It's the same thing with Steam.
Steam gamified all of the shit,
collecting Steam trading cards,
building up stuff like that so you can gain levels,
so you can get more people on your friends list,
like Steam gamified everything.
But they did it in a smart way along the way.
Everything on Steam is gamified, everything.
And it's all gamified around spending money
to upgrade your account.
If you look at everything that Steam does,
it's all interacting with others and spending money on games
to learn more about the games
or get cool, like cosmetics for the games
and be able to build up your account.
Like they were smart about it, business-wise.
They were smart and it's cool for people.
I like leveling up my account.
Feels good to do it.
A lot of cool fanfare with it.
Discord too, I think Discord could do one thing
to make it amazing.
They could make it so that you could have UGC.
That's it.
If they opened up Discord as a UGC system
where you could make your own icons and shit
and then sell them on Discord and just moderate that,
turn into a moderation company for the stuff
that is being sold through the platform, they win.
They could take a cut of every one of those and it'd be done.
What is UGC?
User generated content.
So if Discord, you know, Discord has all those like icons
and stuff that like go around your portrait
and they like do shit, right?
Like imagine if you as a creator could like submit one
of those and then if it's sold, you get a percentage
of the income for that.
Do you know how great that would be for Discord
if they approve you?
Discord would make insane bank off of that.
You would make insane bank off of that.
Everybody would win and nobody would be upset
at Discord over that.
And they just, they're not gonna do it.
They have the whole infrastructure for this.
They have the whole infrastructure.
They'd have to police all the AI slop.
I've read their platform already has to.
Discord could do the same.
I think if Discord did that with their storefront,
it would make sense.
Also, they have subscriptions on Discord
for content creators,
but I don't think they have them available in Australia
or Australian content creators.
They didn't roll that out internationally.
I think it's only in the US, if I remember correctly.
I think I was talking to Australian content creators,
they didn't have access to it.
So there's other shit that Discord could have been doing,
just didn't do it, which is interesting.
That one might be a legal restraint though.
I think the other thing with Mixer
was just kind of short-sightedness.
You love Discord, but man, the mobile app
can be really frustrating.
Mobile apps trash, it's not very good.
Yeah, can you fix tech for us?
No, I don't think there's a way that I can fix these things.
I can just look at it and be like,
what are you doing, man?
Like with kick, it's just, for me, it's a problem.
For others, they don't have to care.
I just don't like gambling, man.
I don't want to be tied to gambling.
I don't want to be associated with gambling.
It's not a thing that I want ever.
And if that means that I stay on a platform
that's a sinking ship over time
because they won't shut up about AI,
then I guess so be it, right?
Because like, I don't think,
I don't think that's something
that I ever want to be a part of
is something that is driven by gambling money, right?
It just feels wrong to me.
And that's my hill to die on, you know?
Yeah, Discord app is pretty trash in general, I guess, yeah.
At least the AI isn't as invasive yet.
I mean, if you look around your UI right now in Twitch,
you'll see a bunch of ads for Roblox currently.
We're not getting paid for that.
I don't have the ability to turn that off.
That's being advertised on my channel.
And at the same time, Roblox is announcing
all of their new AI integrations.
Like, and Twitch has been pushing AI on the platform
for the last several years.
We've talked about the beginning of this conversation is the last several years on which they have pushed a integrations for channel, like icons, and they wanted to do like an emote generator for users and they wanted to, and they've made category changes to this, like category images will change.
They generated shit.
And it's, I think that's foolish when you have a platform of creatives, right?
Like that's, that's really the foolish part of it.
But as you know, your audience doesn't like that, you know that they don't,
you know that a majority of people on your platform are going to raise a stink
of that and you're like, yeah, we love it.
Like, which has golden opportunities all the time where they can just not
shit the bed on these things.
Like the cat in the chat one is a really obvious example.
A couple of years back on Christmas, they made an AI generated cat emote in a hat.
They could have reached out to the artist community and been like,
Hey, we know that you're a streamer on this platform
and you make pixel art,
would you like to make this year's Christmas icon?
And we'll put your name on it.
And that's it, right?
They could even pay them some money for it.
That's generally not super expensive.
It becomes a global emote
and it has that streamer's name on it.
So people can now find that streamer,
which benefits Twitch, benefits the streamer,
is a feel good moment.
Like all of this is positive.
And instead they, eh, generated it,
just pissed off everyone.
And it's like, like that's not even like a hard,
that's not even a hard thing to do.
As streamers, we do it all the time.
We reach out to artists all the time and get emotes made.
Like this isn't difficult.
It's just lazy.
It's lazy and worse.
The 70B set about companies that you try and keep trying
to stay on top of stuff and change things.
There's another thing to be said about just shutting,
shutting up and not pissing off the user base.
Yeah, it's just weird.
Lead purple ran out.
I, I don't know, man.
I just, it makes me wonder where that push for AI generated
shit is coming from inside the company.
Cause it feels like a rotten order in Apple.
Like wherever that is, just carve it out, dude.
Cause like it's, it's getting stupid
and it's gonna collapse shit.
Cause like you already have people that are mad about,
mad at the company about political leanings.
You already have that.
That's, that's been a problem for a while.
And if you take your entire artist base
and you keep overindexing on AI-generated,
like generative AI art, you're gonna lose them too.
And that's not a good thing to do
because when you lose that audience,
you lose the creative heart
of your user-generated content platform.
You can't lose that.
The only reason that a lot of those people
are still dealing with Twitch
is because there isn't a good enough alternative yet.
That's it.
And like you have to not screw that up.
That's a really fragile relationship.
And it's really easy not to screw up, man.
Like it's really easy not to screw that one up.
Yeah.
MIT studies shows that 95% of all AI implementations
failed to meet return on investment.
I don't know if that percentage is accurate,
but it feels correct, right?
It feels correct.
I'd have to look more into it.
But that's probably why you see things
like co-pilot and MS Paint.
Like if someone somewhere was like,
shoving it in MS Paint, maybe it'll find money.
You know, like this just stupid shit like that.
Nobody's going to use freaking co-pilot and have his paint.
Are you insane?
Like, it's like, that doesn't make any sense, man.
Yeah.
Co-pilot and notepad too.
It just based notepad.
It's wild.
We're not here because we love it.
We're here because there's no better alternative.
Yeah.
And I think that sucks because I used to really like Twitch.
And I just think the direction it's going is really weird.
And I don't know what to do about that.
You can't really do anything about it.
The way that I'm going to handle it is I'm just going to keep doing the shit that I think is cool
I'm going to keep running events like the game jams and like putting out updates for games and making shit on stream and being creative
But if there ever comes a time where there's another platform that doesn't have
These weights binding it. I'm gonna start multi-streaming there and then maybe eventually
That'll be where I stream
Right. And I just don't know if that day will ever come.
I have no idea.
And for now, we have to deal with Twitch and their weird business ties to
companies like Roblox or whatever reason, you know,
currently watching YouTube and sometimes chat on Twitch as the player
just seems to spam air 2000, 3000.
That's another thing too.
We have to deal with air 2000 and 3000 here all the time.
They were never able to fix that.
Yeah.
It's like Minecraft versus Hytale.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
I got a new work laptop. You discovered the keyboard has a co-pilot button. Oh my God, dude.
What do you mean it has a button, dude?
Bro, just make your own site. The cost and complications of that are enormous.
Like enormous, dude.
Like, that's not gonna happen, you know.
Yeah.
No pad with the Dodge EA or no pad plus plus with Dodge key lockers.
No pad all the way down.
Anyway, that's my TED talk.
When Kickstarter you thought it was going to be great?
Same, which is why I made an account on it.
Valve could make a competitor?
I'd stream on Gabe and I hope it would be called that.
I'd be a Gabe Caster dude.
Yeah, I'd watch Gabe TV.
Yeah, Gabe Caster dude.
Done.
Pipe.Line, okay.
That's pretty good.
GameTV sounds so wrong. You'd watch it.
Did you have whatever stream thing on gamepages? Wonder if that might turn into something more
someday. Maybe. Yeah. I hope so. One day. Wasn't Twitch bleeding money from streaming?
Yeah. I think they still are. I don't think they're profitable still.
I haven't heard any news that they were profitable, so...
And I think they'd make that like a big deal.
Thor TV.
I don't know, right?
If Steam starts its streaming service, will it be game only?
I don't know. I don't think I'll ever do that.
What do you think about TikTok streaming?
Vertical video is kind of a weird thing.
Streaming on TikTok is totally valid, but like vertical video is very weird.
It's not really suited for what I do, right?
If they take money from Roblox, you know they're not doing well financially, maybe.
All right, I'm gonna switch this over to just chatting because we've been talking long enough,
but like, because you only have to go like 30 minutes and you switch the content over.
But yeah, like to continue that conversation is people are bringing up more stuff.
You say TikTok. TikTok is vertical video and like I think vertical video is cool. It's just not my stuff, right?
I do wide-form video. You guys are seeing a lot of stuff on screen. There's images. There's text like all this kind of stuff
And vertical videos just doesn't work. It's fine for shorts. I think but I don't think it's good for live streams of what I'm doing
You know, there might be I think you could do an IRL streaming. That's totally fine
Yeah, there's that's totally fine on that. There's no moderation and take back. I'm aware of that
Yeah, I'm super aware of that. I think the funny thing on TikTok is if you look up Pirate Software, you'll see like 50 accounts that are me that are not me. Yeah, it's not good. Wait, TikTok does horizontal streaming up. Does it actually?
Does it? Last time I looked, they didn't have that. Let me look that up because if they are, that's kind of interesting. Horizontal streaming.
Interesting.
Huh. They do 16 by 9 content now. Interesting. You know? I might start looking into that if
that's the case. That's interesting, so. Will you stream on it if they do? I mean, I don't
see why not. The one problem that I've run into is OBS crashes after I have too many
streams out because I tried for a little while. I streamed to Twitch, right? And then YouTube.
And then I tried streaming to Twitter at the same time. And I found that OBS started to become
unstable. When I streamed to all three, it would randomly just crash and be like, ah,
oh, you can just freak out. And then when I cut Twitter from it, it was fine again. So I was like,
Okay, that's a bit weird, right? And it was freaking out because there was too much bandwidth going out. And it was just mad.
Run a new instance of OBS, I might have to.
Like, you could have a restreaming machine. Oh, it's not my machine running out of that like resources. It's OBS screaming. Yeah, that was the problem with it.
How do you multi stream? I use a tool called item multi stream, which is a plugin for OBS. And it lets me split between different like platforms and that was causing problems.
You multiply these three platforms, you have no issues.
It is likely because I'm doing 2K streaming, Guardian.
That is, that's my guess.
Cause I'm using Twitch's new send all of your broadcast levels up on 2K streaming.
So I'm not having Twitch do the transcoding.
I'm doing it myself.
And then when I'm sending that up to everyone on the platforms,
it just shit itself violently.
So I think that's probably the reason why.
Because it's doing every one of those, you know.
Believe there are other multi-stream OBS plugins.
Oh yeah, no, it's not AIDM doing it.
I've tried it with other stuff.
It's 2K really needed.
It's not really needed,
but I understand what's happening here, right?
What's happening here is if you don't know
what trans codes are, that's like Twitch
changing over your broadcast
to be the different resolutions that you see.
And if they want us to do it on our side,
because it saves them money.
So they sent out all this stuff to do that.
I'm doing it over on mine, right?
And because I'm doing the trans codes on my side,
Eventually this is gonna be like a thing on Twitch
and it's going to lead to monetary incentives.
So I might as well get used to it now.
So I've been doing it for the last year,
giving feedback on it.
Maybe lower the resolution for TikTok and Twitter.
I don't know if AIDM allows me to do that dynamically
between them.
If there was a way to do it, I'll look into it.
But if I switch back to 1080p, we don't have this problem,
but then you're viewing in 1080p, right?
Yeah, that's the whole thing with that.
Which needs to get with the times and a lot of you want.
Dude, I agree.
I super freaking agree with that.
If we go and look at AV1,
who here doesn't know what AV1 is?
Who doesn't know what AV1 is?
It's overkill for Gamedev.
We don't just do Gamedev though.
Like I do game development,
I do like you have text on screen,
which is harder to see in 1080p,
and also playing video games.
So if I do that at 1080p,
the image quality is way lower, like way lower.
Yeah, let me pull up AV1 for you guys.
Normally, we use like H.264, H.265, AV1 is actually open royalty-free video coding format,
which means when Twitch finally implements this, not only is it insanely better, you
could do 4K at 60 FPS on the same connection where you could only normally do 1080, 60.
So it's dramatically more efficient and dramatically better.
It's free, which means that Twitch isn't paying any money for any of that in royalties.
So like when they switch to AV1, the platform is going to save money, and Dan Clancy said
a while back, now it's over, been over a year, some kind of losing hope on it, to be honest
with you.
Dan Clancy stated that when they do that, they want to pass the savings on to the streamers
in some tangible way.
It's never materialized, YouTube uses AV1 encoding, Discord uses AV1 encoding, Twitch
is not. So I thought they had or is it still trialing? It's still trialing. None of that
shit is through. And like, that's the problem with this is like, we're just dealing with this.
And they said, not even last TwitchCon, but I think the TwitchCon before that,
they said that they were getting ready to announce it and they had to delay it because
it wasn't quite ready yet. And like, we're still here, we're still waiting. So like,
I have not heard a word about AV1 encoding, like, implementation since then. And if they have been
been doing it. God damn it, say something. Yeah. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping that they
do something with this. How many people do they have working on this for how, for it
to take so long? I don't know, but like, right? That's a full infrastructure upgrade. It's
not like a plug and play thing. So I mean, AV1 Twitch, let me see if there's any updates
on this. Has there been any more news about full AV1 encoding on Twitch? This was seven
months ago. AV1 is not available in beta. A very, very small number of people who work
for Twitch OBS have access to it, but the enhanced broadcast closed beta is still limited
to 1440p, which is what I'm on. And it's in HEVC. And that's it. So like we still, I don't
even have AV1 encoding. I have the, I have that new one, the H265 and HEVC. And I've
been doing that for like a year now. So like, no updates, no
information still in beta for this part even. So a recent update
to Google Chrome finally made it possible to view streams in
1440, 60p. Really? That's kind of interesting. Yeah, I can't even
access the 1440p. A lot of people can't based in your region,
you won't be able to. If their current encoding is using a
license, maybe contractual issues. No, no, no, it's a royalty
based license. It's everybody using it. You don't like sign on
You just when you use it, you pay money.
So it's like there's no deal to break if that makes sense.
Rich might have a deal for HD65 that they can't get rid of. No, because you're using HD64 before that. It's fine.
Yeah, at least HD65 is better.
Yeah, at least that's better.
Can we use this with OBS?
Eventually when they support it, right? If you stream all, if I only streamed to YouTube right now, I could do it.
If I only streamed to YouTube and I could have 50 megs up a second, no problem
Because of twitch. I can't do that. I can't so
Yeah, I don't I don't think there's a contractual obligation for twitch I find that very unlikely
I think it's more a technology issue. I think it's a I think it's a difficult technology issue for them
My hope is that eventually they figure it out though dude because like AV1 is just better. It's just better in every way
You thought you saw someone streaming 2k you can you have to be in the beta. I'm in the beta. So
Because I'm streaming in 2k. So
Any monitor recommendations? No, I don't have anything like that, dude
It's an implementation issue. I reckon. Yeah, a tech issue for sure not a skill issue necessarily just a tech issue
Could be tech that with which being old could be
Actually could be that would make sense, you know with their old systems with that kind of shit
I would not be surprised.
I was talking about streaming in higher quality.
I want to stream in ADP.
Bro, I don't want to even stream in higher quality.
I want to stream at the same quality for less bandwidth.
Like imagine if your connection,
like let's say you're Australian, right?
You're dealing with your horrific copper lines
with your internet,
because I know it's very common in Australia.
Imagine if you could stream in perfect 1080p at 60 FPS
on that same shitty connection.
That's the difference between what we have right now and AV1.
Like that's the difference dude.
Like it's crazy that it's not in yet and that's why YouTube just looks better for that shit.
You could just already do it.
If Twitch were to go down, what's your backup plan?
If Twitch actually goes down, I think YouTube is the only thing that I could do for live
streams, but I don't think YouTube is good for live streams. We have to switch somewhere
else, right? We just have to. I don't know what else there is at that point. There's
only kick really. You know, at that point you have the option of kick where you're tied
to like gambling or nothing, right? Which is kind of shit. Yeah. Watch on YouTube and
and then go to Discord or something for the chat.
Yeah, exactly.
The YouTube chat experience is not as good.
I wish it was better.
Yeah.
Do you think a disabled person can be a singer?
Yeah.
What?
Absolutely.
I don't know why that would even be a question then.
It's over on YouTube side.
It'd be a sad day when Thor moves to kick.
I don't have a reason to.
Like, I have every reason not to do that right now.
When you upgrade to the stream, my old stream watching laptop just constantly buffered unless
I watched in 360p.
Really?
I wonder what would happen if I switch it back and they twitched you via the transcos
instead of me doing them.
I might try that.
You think they're all those, they will ever sell Twitch.
Honestly, I'm concerned about that, being a possibility.
And the reason why is you have Amazon, Amazon owns them, Amazon just cut a shit little
people from AWS. Let me actually see what the numbers were. Amazon layoffs. Yeah,
it just closed all of their fresh stores.
It closes fresh stores, your options, employees have get severance pay.
Okay. It's shutting down its Amazon fresh supermarket chain entirely. Gone. Fresh is
gone. So that's a thing. Um, AWS layoffs a day ago, 16,000 jobs without one. So AWS
They're not dead dead. They're like damaged 16,000 jobs gone.
Right. How many people was in this one?
Amazon fresh total layoffs.
4,000 for this one.
So Amazon just cut 20,000 jobs this last week.
like that's so then you're looking at like oh Amazon owns Twitch and which
isn't profitable and I go man that's not a good spot to be like you know what I
mean like that's a that's like a really scary that's a city dude that is that's
a city yeah yeah they own Whole Foods they do own Whole Foods and like to be
real with you if you own whole Whole Foods why you dealing with fresh does
make sense. We're going to have the cuts at Washington Post. Did they actually?
The post laughs. Does Amazon own Washington Post?
Oh, shit. They reduced the workforce by 30% in Washington Post.
I didn't know he owned that. Bezos does? Well, Bezos, that's not the same.
That's not really the same, right? I'm going to talk about Amazon specifically,
because Amazon owns Twitch, right? I think that's the biggest thing that
They wanted to turn whole foods into Amazon fresh.
Oh, but they kept it as whole foods.
I don't know if I would even change
the business model of whole foods.
That shit prints money, dude.
Yeah.
They literally left Washington post reporters
in active war zones with no support.
So they fired them in the field.
What?
I'm gonna have to have a source that's wild.
that is that is impossibly awful
and all
who fires somebody in the field
they did that shit that's crazy
it even made dutch national news cut
dammit dude
that's grim
that's really grim
there's gotta be a legal problem there right
that's got there's gotta be a legal problem
i can't see that
being allowed
That's wild. Fired in the middle of a war zone.
Washington Post, Ukraine correspondent laid off.
Wow. In the middle of the war zone.
Okay. Yeah. I don't understand that shit.
That seems like a really bad mistake.
That's crazy to me.
It's a really dear election of duty. It's pretty wild.
The type of stuff that they do with regular jobs today is insane. It is.
Um, I want to look at layoffs that FYI, if you've never seen this website,
it's actually pretty fantastic.
It shows you everything.
So like every year you can see how many tech jobs got laid off and specifically
what companies and you can see it was bad in 2022 was real bad in 2023.
And then 2024 is a little bad comparatively went down in 2025.
So certainly hit recovery, right?
And then 2026 so far, we're already at 24 K.
And I think that's where like the danger is,
but it looks like you've got quite a lot already.
But we're looking at numbers here.
There's that 16,000 from Amazon.
Zillow, Zupy, Autodesk dropped 1,000.
I didn't hear about that, but this website rocks
because it gives you all of the sources too
for all the news articles and all of the company names, the locations, the number of people laid off and it, it distributes it also by that and also how many federal government employees get laid off too.
So you can actually go and look that up and see the actual charts for everything to see how everything is going and like what jobs are generally getting laid off and like all of it just literally everything it's phenomenal website for this.
So if you're trying to keep up on this,
layoffs at FYI is good, good aggregator for this,
to understand what's happening.
How global is that website?
It's, as far as I know, it's all US.
I might be wrong about that.
I'm pretty sure this is just US,
which is useful for us, but like, you know,
yeah, it's a really good website.
That is a little grim at the moment.
It is, it's really grim at the moment,
but that's the thing that I'm looking at here
is 16,000 from them.
So when I see, when I see Twitch doing weird stuff, money wise,
and making strange bedfellows with, you know, Roblox,
and then I turn around and see Amazon cutting 20,000 jobs.
I look at that and I go,
but you own Twitch and that's where the concern lies, right?
You know, cause you have, you have a platform that's not making money.
That's really noisy in the media for doing weird shit.
and is now over indexing heavily on AI,
which just caused the firing of 20,000 employees.
Where is that familiar?
Right, like it's just not, it's just not a good direction.
Why is it not making money?
Twitch hasn't been making money for years.
Yeah, Twitch hasn't been making money for a long time,
which is one of the reasons why I was hoping
that AV1 encoding would be implemented
because that's gonna save them a lot of cash.
The cash reduction on that is enormous.
Yeah. Yeah. Can't wait for FFZ's update that lets us remove the damn Roblox crap. Yeah,
that's super weird. It's only going to be up for 10 days, thankfully, but like, I don't
care about that. Yeah, server cost is higher than AdRef. I grew that. One of the things
you have to understand too is, is every year ad revenue kind of looks like this and then
like that's throughout the year. So this is like December and then this is like January
and then it falls off the cliff again and then does it again.
And this happens every year.
And this is based on the amount of money
you are willing to spend, right?
Like it's the amount of money that you as a personal
individual are willing to spend,
the advertisers then change their spend limit based on that.
Because you're more willing to spend during Christmas.
And that's all, right?
So like you go up, you go up this entire list
and then like as you go throughout the year,
there's a couple of marks in here like April.
There's a little bit of a spike in April
in terms of ad revenue because people get their tax returns
and then advertisers spend more money on advertisement
because you got your tax return money
and you're more likely to spend money
on products and services.
Same thing in December.
So when you go in October, November, December,
you are more likely to spend money because of the holidays.
It's just how it works.
And they know that, so they spend more money on ad revenue.
So when we're talking about ad rev on these platforms,
this is what happens every year.
And if you're talking about content creation
and kind of sky is falling behavior.
Every year in January,
you will hear calls to an adpocalypse.
Like the adpocalypse is upon us, right?
That's, this happens every year.
Contagrate is like, it's over, oh my God, it's so over.
And this drop is about 50% on average.
It's about a 50% loss of ad revenue.
This is also why you see a lot of streamers
take their vacations in January and February.
because that is the worst time of year to stream entirely.
Mostly because a lot of people spent a lot of money
during December, they don't have money to spend on streamers
or anything else in January,
because they over indexed on holidays,
and advertisers pay basically nothing.
It's the perfect time to take a vacation.
It's the least impactful days of the year.
That makes sense, right?
So like that's why you see that behavior of a year.
Surprised they're still in loss,
even though Amazon owns the servers?
Well, Amazon owns the servers,
but they still make them pay as a customer.
And so like, the funny thing is,
a lot of people don't realize this,
is if you're talking about Twitch,
Twitch is actually running on infrastructure.
If we go to AWS, we'll go to,
yeah, what is it called, aws.rocks.
Yeah, it's AWS ROX that'll send you over to there.
And then it's, it's, God, what is that damn website called?
What website?
what services it on. It's like video service, A, Amazon video service, A, V, S, I think
it is. Amazon video, IVS, IVS, that's what it was. IVS, Amazon, yeah, interactive live
streams. So this is the service that Twitch runs on. It's an AWS product called interactive
video service. And you can go and rent this yourself and run your own streaming platform
if you want to. In fact, the funny part about this is kick does that. If you go to kick
and you go to any channel you want to, I'm just going to pull up any, any streamer on
a pause it and mute that. And I'll set that up again. I'm going to go hit F12 on that
channel. I'm going to go to the network tab and wait for it for a moment.
Boop, boop, how do they start obfuscating this?
Oh, that's so annoying.
Is this obfuscated now?
It used to just say ABS, or IBS right on it.
Unless they switched, that would be really interesting.
Did kick finally switch off
of Amazon Interactive Video Service?
I don't think they did though.
I'm gonna wait for a moment to collect more data on this.
Let's find out, because this was the case for years.
We'll pause that, go grab this, that is a giant blob of shit, hold up.
They might have obfuscated this, that's kind of cool, they probably want to switch, I would
expect so. But I don't think they're going to. Give me a sec. They're going through US 21
playlist.live.video.net. What the hell is that? Is that their new content distributor? What is this?
Let's go to Google. What is that? Ah, there we go. Yeah. Okay, so they've changed the target of this
now. I didn't know what this was. They're going through us 21 dot playlist dot live
dash video dot net, which is associated with twitch interactive. And as part of the live
dot video live dash video dot net ecosystem used for streaming content, which is part of
interactive video service. So if you're wondering kick is running on the same infrastructure as
Twitch, they both rented from Amazon through Interactive Video Service. It used to be a
lot less obfuscated. It used to be just direct to IBS, which is funny, but like, it looks
like they've changed that now. And now it's going to this like content distribution URL
that both websites are using. But yeah, so like kick and Twitch, the back end is exactly the same.
They're using the exact same technology, and they're both renting from Amazon. So no matter
which of those platforms wins, Amazon wins, which is really interesting, right? Yeah, true,
that's what I meant. Amazon funds Twitch's competition, but by fun, I mean, provide a structure.
Yeah. And they cost, like basically, Amazon is making the money every time, right? So there,
Amazon is collecting the paycheck from both platforms. Kick exists because the infrastructure
is provided by Amazon. And then Twitch exists because Twitch and Amazon is providing the
infrastructure. Yeah. Could IVS be the AV1 bottleneck? It might be. That would be my
guess, to be honest with you, because it seems to be outside of whatever Twitch is doing.
Yeah. All those calls are through Amazon IVS Was Worker API. Yeah, it is. I'm trying to find
that because it looks like it's not under the network tab anymore. It used to be,
they've changed the structure around a little bit. Let me pull this up. Jesus Christ, that's loud.
No, be gone. I don't want you a fortnight content.
I just need to look at this network that you son of a bitch.
If you shrink this, it becomes loud again. Really?
If I str... Oh, if it changes to their...
Ew. That's what it is.
I'm sitting here wondering, I was like, trying to change this size
and it switched over to the mobile version and they store your,
your volume on mobile and PC as separate values because it's getting,
amping the music up again.
This has been Amazon since day one.
The first AWS service was the Infra for webstories,
aka amazon.com.
Oh yeah, no, no, I'm talking about
back when it was back with Justin TV, right?
And we're talking about the differences between
cake and Twitch because they're running the same back end.
They both go back to Amazon.
If you resize cake, it uses the mobile version, yeah it does.
When I'm switching it around,
when I've got the network tab open.
Yeah, I'm trying to find the actual section where it's going through that was worker because it had it up.
Let me see sources console.
You guys still doing it there?
Where the hell is this now?
It's not the network tab.
Where are you hiding this?
Where have you hidden it?
Either way, we know it's going through Amazon.
Which is funny.
Yeah, man.
I basically the way reason this concerns me is because you have you have AWS.
AWS is the parent company, Twitch is owned by them,
Kik is not owned by them.
Kik is constantly giving AWS money, right?
So like if we go Kik, money is going this direction.
With AWS, money is going that direction.
Like Twitch is losing money for them.
So because of this, they'll have a vested interest
in keeping Kik around and not really caring
and they don't really have a vested interest
in keeping Twitch around.
Not really.
So it's more interesting of like,
if Twitch doesn't turn out to be profitable
and change the flow of this cash, what happens?
Right?
What's an alternative to AWS's vid streaming service YouTube?
But that's not like a public system that you can use.
You know, how does kick-pay streamers so much more?
Gambling money.
I know they don't want to say that,
but like they, their parent company is stake,
even though they say it's separate,
you can't run a service in the way that they're running it
and still be profitable.
The only thing that they actually make money is
they give 95% of the sub out to the streamer,
which means they take 5%.
This is generally eaten up by payment processing.
Payment processing costs eat that entirely.
You're losing anywhere from 2% to 6% on a payment
every time you make the payment.
So like this is gone, dude,
which means that that just goes to the streamer,
where'd you make your money, man?
They don't run ads.
How do you make money from no money?
You don't.
That doesn't make any sense, right?
Yeah, you work for AWS.
It's been a rough week.
I'm sorry about that, man.
I really am.
We were talking about the news of losing 16,000 people.
That's terrifying.
That's a city, you know?
Are they investing cash into Twitch
for improvement or maintenance?
I don't know.
Like the problem that I keep seeing
is overall direction for Twitch
they keep indexing on, like moving in the direction of AI generated content every time.
And every time it moves in the direction of AI generated content, I just go, what are
you doing?
Because you have a platform of creatives that hate that.
So you're just pissing off your user base.
There are a couple of their streaming sites that do exist, but they can't take the throughput
like Twitch has.
Not really, you know.
No income, no tags.
No income, no tags doesn't make any sense.
So you still got to pay employees.
You got to pay your bills to Amazon.
Like none of that makes sense, dude.
Yeah, those servers must be stressing, yeah.
Yeah, so it's super weird.
Where do they get the income?
And the answer is you don't.
You got no ads.
You now have kicks, which are like bits,
but they've got a similar deal on that.
They're not making money there.
Like where are they making money?
Like where do they make money?
And the thing is, is every time I've talked
to a representative from kick,
we'll have a short conversation.
And if the conversation continues in a tangible way,
It gets around to the question of how do you guys make money as a platform?
If you don't have any income sources and they just back out and it just disappears.
And I go, okay.
Cause like you don't have any income sources.
Where's that money from, man?
Like, where is it?
What are your thoughts, opinions on subscription tiers on Twitch?
I feel benefits are lackluster.
I think the benefits are super lackluster and I wish we had more control of them.
We'll talk about it after the ad break.
because I want to wait for that, I want people to miss that.
VVVA with 500 bits said hello Mr. Softhair.
What's up?
On the talk about dual and touch screen, for DS is a game from 2005, another code 2 memories,
you need to close the game so the screens touch to use a stamp in the game.
That's cool.
Stamp was on top screen and paper bottom.
That's cool!
I've never heard of it.
No, I really like that. That's a neat implementation. Neat. Yeah, that's sick.
Red. I want to look that up.
Theta underscore overrides said I think I need a glass the same size as your drinking glass.
Please tell us more about it.
Uh, I got a bunch of copies of it from thrift stores for like a dollar.
Go to any thrift store and you'll find these. They're like cheap as shit. Yeah.
A underscore bubonic underscore plague with 500 bits said good morning Lord Thorrington.
Good morning.
From the crap sculpture you just went through, here is a military fact.
Oh.
In 1988, the US military executed Operation Mount Hope 3, a top secret mission to seize
be an operated Soviet Mil-Mii-25, hind attack helicopter in Chad. US Army, night stalkers,
used MH-47 Chinook helicopters to retrieve the abandoned aircraft, which was then transported
to the US for intelligence and found out it was a piece of crap. Now it sits in a museum
in Alabama.
That's wild actually. Alright, ads are over. What are we talking about? We're talking about
something with revenue for this. Oh yeah, the thing that really bothers me about this
is on Twitch side, you have the business that doesn't really make sense right now.
They're losing money, right? And then on the other side, you have kick where the business
doesn't make any sense because you don't know where their money is coming from because
none of their business models lead to money. So you're like, what is what's going on, man?
Like none of that is stable. None of that stable at all. Right. Cause like on kick, you've got,
you've got no ads. There's no ads over there. So they're not getting ad revenue. Right. You've got
kicks and kicks are like bits. So we know that that's not making up the amount of money that
they need. So they do make a little bit of money, but it's not, it's not enough, right?
And then you have subs, and they only get 5% of this, which is used for payment processing
fees. So that's not enough money. And that likely is even losing money in some situations.
So where's the money from? What runs the platform? And there's no answer to this.
The only thing that you can even look at is the fact that Stake, their parent company
that's not their parent company, is a crypto gambling website.
That's it.
Like that's the only way that you could get that, right?
So like where's that, where's the money coming from, right?
So like this is why I've stayed away from kick the whole time.
Because I'm like, your business model is opaque as shit.
The only way that I can see you making money is by relying on them.
And that's a crypto gambling website.
Right? Like I just, where,
if you can find out where the money comes from
and it actually makes tangible sense,
then great, right?
Like great.
Now we can figure it out from there,
but I can't find it.
I don't understand.
And where's the money from, dude?
Where's the money from?
Exactly.
But like then you look at Twitch,
you look at Twitch by comparison,
Twitch is taking 50% of subs down to 30%.
They take bits on top of this.
So you're doing subs for this.
And then also they run ads and they take 45% of ad revenue from that.
that and they do these sponsorship deals where they take an inordinate amount from that very large
amount and yet even with all of that they don't make enough money so you have one platform that
has no income sources and thinks that they are making enough money and another platform that has
a shitload of income sources and doesn't make enough neither of these make sense if you look at them
them, neither of them. And they're both using AWS Interactive Video Services, their backend,
which means they have the exact same cost structure. Do you see where this starts to
get really weird? Where I'm like, you guys have dramatically different business models.
Neither of them make any sense. And you're both using interactive video service from
Amazon for your back end. What? Like what? What? Yeah. You
can't say they have the same video costs. Well, there could
be legal implications if they were not charging both services
the same way. Beefy, we know that there are large scale
discounts. If you are doing lots of bandwidth transfer that is
written into their stuff, but if they were giving their own
company a very cheap discount, and giving a competitor a very
high discount, you start to run into legal implications with that because they start
having like anti-compete law shit that goes into that. So I, I'm going to be honest with
you as much as there's tinfoil hat and going on, like as much as there's like, I bet they
give kick a bad deal. Like kind of a thing. Like I don't think legally they can do that
without a massive amount of scrutiny. Right. Like I really don't because you, you will
run into anti-compete laws problems with that because it is a direct competitor to Twitch.
Does that make sense?
I love how you just have this tinfoil hat on hand.
I always have everything on hand. That's my job.
Can you leave the hat on, dude? Maybe.
So I think there's a case for like assuming that,
but I don't think there's a case for proving that.
And I feel like if they did do that,
it would be incredibly detrimental to them legally
to do so.
Could still be true, but we don't have any evidence of that.
Right? Does that make sense?
You have the spoon on hand?
do it's up against the wall over here i'm gonna get it with my feet
got it spoon
oh my clan claims it's a tin full hat it doesn't even have a pointy top god damn it
You're right, dude. Complete fraud. Let me fix it. There we go. There we go. Fantastic.
Fits to your head. Perfect moon armor. Perfect. Fantastic. Yeah, do you see where I'm getting
out of that? Like, you have two businesses with dramatically different business models,
one of them is taking a lot. The other one is taking nothing. Both of them are using
Amazon IVS is the back end. And yet somehow they both still exist. There has to be some
kind of stability there. There has to be something on kick side where they're making
money where you can't see it and they don't talk about it. And there has to be something
on twitch's side where Amazon is willing to keep them around even though they're losing
money. And we don't have the answer to either of those things. And that's weird. That's
It's a weird thing to deal with, right?
Yeah, more like Amazon IBS, it's true, it's true.
Lost leader, I used to believe that Twitch
was a good lost leader for Amazon
because I thought that Twitch would be really good
for improving Prime sales, like Amazon Prime,
like I thought that would be a good thing.
But I don't believe that's the case.
I really don't.
I don't think this is a big driver for people.
A lot of the times, most of the time
I've seen prime abuse where people make these weird throwaway accounts where they can still
somehow get a prime sub on Twitch, but not actually pay for the account over on Amazon.
And then they burn the account. So I don't know if this is as big of a loss leader as
it would be otherwise, but that would be the primary loss leader there of like Amazon loses
money on Twitch, but makes more money up in new prime subscriptions for Amazon Prime.
I don't think it does that.
Where's the 40k tied to statue these days?
In the corner of the room on the statue mantle thing.
Me whistleblower to leak the tea.
I don't even think there's like a leak the tea moment.
I just like to understand, right?
I imagine Twitch would aim for larger advert platform,
but those ad spots are hard to sell.
I think they're really hard to sell for Twitch
for a couple of reasons is advertisement sentiment.
Advertiser sentiment is always gonna drive value, right?
If advertisers feel negatively about the platform, the platform will change instantly immediately.
And we've already seen that.
Advertisers got really upset about political content on Twitch.
Suddenly political channels could no longer run ads.
Gone.
Right.
You just couldn't do it anymore.
So like that was a, that's a really big deal for that.
You know, that's a, that's a really big deal for that.
And it was, and it's same thing happened for a certain number of tags on the platform as well.
Like, um, if you tagged your channel in certain ways, it would reduce your ad revenue to effectively
zero or even 10% of what it was at the most.
So like that's not Twitch doing that.
That's advertisers going, nope, I don't want to deal with that.
I don't want to have anything to do with the politics.
You're going to have to pull my ads on content like that or I'm going to walk away as an
advertiser and Twitch jumps.
But that's normal on these platforms.
That's normal on YouTube.
It's normal on Twitch.
It's normal on Twitter.
It's normal everywhere.
go to the advertiser says, I'm going to do that tag like what? Um, so if tags were associated
in any way with more adult content, such as a mature tag or anything like that, you get
less ad revenue. Like when I play arc Raiders or Dune, those are mature games. My ad revenue
drops by about 30% for every hour that I'm playing those games. So if, if, you know,
there's 3000 people here, right? And I'm playing, if I'm talking on, you know, just chatting
or like right now we've got 2880 and another 400 on YouTube, right? You'll get a certain amount of
money per hour in ad revenue based on the amount of ads you play, doing that content. If I switch
over to mature, if I still have the same number of viewers, same number of ads, that'll drop by about
30%. Because advertisers, some advertisers don't want to spend money on that. At the same time,
If you look at this over for the ferret software channel, which is our animals category, right,
that is a very family friendly category. It's a very positive category with no weird
shit like politics or any other bullshit there. So because of that, you will actually see a higher
percentage and a higher increase in ad revenue in categories that are family friendly and safe.
That's just how that works. Yep, that's how it works. So categories that are more friendly
will receive more money, categories that are less advertiser friendly will receive less money.
This is normal. None of this is weird. But it does tie into when people are talking about kind of
manipulation of language and manipulation of information, this is how advertisers do that.
They don't directly change the way that you're allowed to speak. They just don't give you any
money if you say things like suicide. But if you say on a live, your ad revenue stays intact.
And that changes culture very rapidly through the use of advertising incentives across social media platforms
Which is why in tick-tock you see people saying alive and now it's spreading to the rest of internet consciousness, right?
So I think that's that's a really
You have to be cognizant of that I think and that's kind of how that works on the back end of like percentages change and
Money changes hands based on what is advertiser friendly, right? That's the 1984 stuff a little bit. Yeah
It gets a little weird. Yeah. Yeah. It gets a little weird, doesn't it? Yeah. I'm not a fan of that person.
Guess I'll just start streaming Disney games nonstop for now on.
On Disney, I'll get you, dude.
Run. Run away.
But I hope that makes sense. Like, do you guys have any questions about this?
Cause I can answer all this stuff. Like I've been doing this long enough.
Which generated approximately 1.8 billion revenue in 2024.
What do you think it's running costs is? I don't know. Do they have the net?
Did they actually explain the net? Let me see. Let's see. Twitch net revenue 2024. I don't know if they have the net.
They had a slight decrease under 2023. That's interesting. One sec. Give it to that.
Total revenue is 1.8 billion usage, 2.37 million in concurrent in-app purchases, 27.68 million.
No, I have no idea what their net is. I don't even know if they released that. They're
talking about the actual revenue. There's a more interesting thing to look at in terms
of like finding out the health of the platform. Go to Twitch tracker. Check this shit out.
This right here was when COVID hit and you can see how many people joined the platform.
They went from an average of 1.36 million to 2.49 million viewers across the entirety
of the platform, and they've mostly held that year over year, and they've lost it this
year.
And that's something to really keep in mind is like, it has finally since 2025, it's finally
gone downhill, and that is finally changing back, which means Twitch is losing ground,
legitimately losing ground.
Not like, oh man, they might do it in the future, like no, you can see the numbers, you can
see the math actually happening in real time, where they have lost ground now as a platform.
Which to be real, number go up doesn't exist.
Infinite number go up doesn't make any sense.
And this was not sustainable.
Like that's not a sustainable amount, right?
But it did sustain for like five years, six years, almost.
And these types of changes, I don't think these changes happen just willy-nilly.
I think that that happens because people lose faith in the platform or it's going in a direction
that they don't like or whatever, right?
I don't think it happens any other way.
I don't even think it's just competitors.
I think it's because they moved that way.
Yeah, number has to go up.
Remind me of this.
I know, right?
Great name, by the way.
CEO of video games.
So when we look at this kind of stuff,
you're looking at concurrency across the entirety
of the platform.
They are losing ground.
And I think that's really interesting to see.
You see stream charts.
I think stream charts actually does a thing,
a breakdown of all platforms.
Twitch streams, clips, watch now.
Yeah, platforms, let me grab that.
Streamstrikes is a really good place
to like get info on this as well.
You can grab this.
You can see YouTube, 6.79 million viewers right now.
Twitch is 1.83 million, KKS 295,000.
And you can see like breakdowns of this
for all these other platforms as well
that a lot of people didn't even realize exist.
There's a shitload of them that are out there, Steam TV.
There's your Steam platform, right?
Trovo, Biggo, Nemo, some of them, a lot of them are in Korea,
Korea and China.
There's a lot of that stuff.
A lot of people don't realize.
Like this one, this Korean one is larger than kick.
Granted, it's not a peak hours for kick, but you get it, right?
That's pretty interesting to see.
This one, I don't even know what that is.
I don't even know where that is.
No clue, right?
Steam TV, I think is all of the steam related streams,
like live streams on video games on Steam.
Yeah, it's Korea as well for that one.
Korea's got a lot of those.
There's our peer-to-peer a lot of the times though,
because they have a system called sender pays,
where if you are the platform owner,
you are paying money to send the bits,
like this send the data to the consumer.
And it's just insanely costly.
Yeah, can you stream it?
I don't know how it works to be real with you.
Yeah, if you look at it as 100% Korean streams,
that's cool, that makes sense.
Yeah, look, just chatting is the biggest one here
in League of Legends. And that's the biggest one for that.
Entertainment is YouTube because that's the default and then news and
politics. You can see YouTube has become a very political platform. Very much so.
It's almost overcoming entertainment, which is the default, which is crazy.
I think it's just chatting and then grant that auto.
So it looks like people went GTA over there, GTA over here.
They're almost the same, almost the same for GTA, but then this is,
this is like top five. You still have slots in casino, right?
Sometimes that's the top number one on kick.
But I think that is, that's the biggest concern to me
is like slots and casino are the biggest draw on kick.
And you can see it throughout all of their stuff.
And it's like one of their top categories.
It's a very directed platform for that.
Yeah, it looks like Steam TV is actually doing this.
Star rupture, that's cool.
Quarantine zone, Euro trick simulator,
half sword and cult of lamb for the big games right now.
I'm really interested to see if we can see
like the historical data of graphs for this.
So we're by live viewers.
Sure, by hours watched.
Can we see the live graphs?
I don't know if we can.
We're so only fans of this.
I don't think they have the data for that.
Yeah, you don't really have it.
But YouTube live kills it, man.
The problem with YouTube is that it's monolithic.
You don't really find other people on YouTube, you know.
Yeah, the hub, is that where it is?
I don't know where any of this shit is on here.
Boo.
Insights maybe?
No, I'm gonna have to find it
because it's on the platform section.
I just don't know where.
You stream gaming on OnlyFans?
I don't think OnlyFans is specifically pornographic content.
I don't think it is.
Just people use it for that because it's allowed.
So it's become known for that.
So I feel like you could if you wanted to.
99% of YouTube streamers I found
are vertical streams with like AI content.
I've seen a lot of that.
I actually really don't like my short speed anymore.
My short speed on YouTube
is really getting really kind of shit
because it's three things right now.
It's an AI generated video of something
meant to evoke an emotional interaction
or a clip from a copyrighted content
like movie or a TV show
or something I actually care about from a content creator.
like actual content creator, like Al Jokes or some shit. This I skip past, this I skip past,
and like these are like maybe one in 10. It's like one in 10 on average. And the rest of this is
like the other nine is these two. And it's like, I don't want to watch another Breaking Bad clip.
I just don't want to do that. I don't want to see another ad generated dog. Like it's don't care,
right? And then I'll just skip, skip, skip, skip pool. And I like all the content creators. I
I like their stuff, but they're so few and far between now.
It's just these.
It's just grim.
Also all jokes mentioned.
Yeah, I watch this show all the time.
I think it's hilarious.
I think that he does a really good job of taking complex social situations and
turning them into a meme.
He's very, very smart about it.
Incredibly so.
Yeah.
Really, really smart about it.
Now jokes is read.
Yeah.
He's very hilarious.
Love his shit.
Or a generated courtroom drama about HOA stuff that never happened.
Oh my God.
Constantly.
That shit is insufferable
You guys baseball god damn it that friend introduced me to one of his female colleagues
But now does nude body painting on only fans. That's weird. Yeah, I mean like I guess I
Guess that's a thing though. Like if you could do it do it, right like whatever, right?
I know they did body painting on twitch for a while. That was a thing. There was a weird meta on twitch
for a little while
Then I don't know if it's still around
And I hope it's not. I don't know if you guys saw this. This was a weird one on Twitch for for a bit. And basically, they were using two cameras. One was below the desk, and one was above the desk. This one went to Twitch, and this one went to Onlyfans.
Yeah. So they were dual streaming, but it wasn't the same content. So that was a, that was a thing for a while.
I don't know if it's still happening, but I was like, wow, that's really smart and
weird.
Yeah, it's actually insanely, but I was like, holy shit, dude, it was really clever, kind
of weird, but okay, you know, if you're going to do it, do it.
You hate this world.
I mean, I guess, but like, is that banable?
Not technically, which was the point.
There was another person who spray painted their ass green and then played a video game
on their own ass because it was green screened and they kept saying this game is ass and
people didn't chat would say this game is ass and that was really funny.
I think that also got banned.
I think that meant it went away immediately, but it was very funny for a moment.
It was like, well, technically they're not actually streaming their ass.
They're actually just streaming a green screen in the shape of their ass.
Technically.
Right?
I was like, okay, at least that's a good shit post.
Exactly.
It was a good shit post.
It just makes me laugh, dude.
Like, people are really creative with that shit and getting around Twitch's rules.
There was a time where Twitch accidentally allowed nudity for like five hours.
I don't remember if you guys remember that.
Do you remember that?
It was like four or five hours, Twitch was like, yeah, we allowed tasteful nudity and
art and somebody somewhere was like, yeah, if we do that, they're going to do like, like
live painting of nude models. And then the top art stream was four different streams
of hentai at the same time. And it had like 80,000 viewers. And that was a, that didn't
last very long. Yeah, the artistic nudity patch, the twitch, and then they undid it.
I literally got on that dinner and I was like, so you've seen the art category today.
It's just porn, right?
Like this, like, great, dude.
What are you doing?
That's really weird.
That's a weird day for Twitch.
So I've done some weird shit over the years.
They keep trying, at least, but now it's going in a weird direction.
Many eyes open then a little bit, yeah.
Yeah.
Just let me be a degenerate with taste.
It's very funny. It's not porn. It's art. I guess, right? I guess. No, it was 80,000.
It was 80,000 people watching at the same time. It blew me away. Dumpy was still banned
at the time. That was the funniest part. They did that patch to unban like art that had
just happened to have nudity in it, like Renaissance pieces and like dumpy emotes and
stuff like that. Our dumpy was still banned at that time. And then later they undid the
nude patch and they're like whatever dumpies are allowed. Just have them and now we just have
dumpies again. Yeah, we just all have dumpies and they stopped banning those, which is hilarious.
Yeah. I feel like they allowed it after cyberpunk. It might have been. The thing is,
is on Twitch, you're not going to get banned for like a naked character in a video game running by.
You're going to get banned if you focus in on it and make it part of your content. Like if there's
a nude character and you're like, wow, look at the nudity and you like zoom in on it and shit,
you get banned. But if it's like in the video game and you're like, oh, like that's it, they leave
you alone. Yeah, you just don't dwell on it. You leave it alone. And it's like not a big deal.
Because that's happened. There's a bunch of games that are like that. They just have like
brief nudity, you know, like how Twitch hates VR chat. Well, user generated content goes in a
different direction. The reason why is it's the same is you can't combine your YouTube and Twitch
chats, right? So if you have your chat on Twitch and your chat on YouTube, you can't
actually show both of them on screen at the same time. That's not allowable. You actually
are not allowed to show your YouTube chat on Twitch. You have to show your Twitch chat
only. And the reason why for this is these accounts, if somebody says something heinous
on here, you can't ban that person on Twitch. You can't ban them. And if somebody says something
heinous on here, Twitch can hold that account accountable and ban that person from the platform.
form. So because of this, they don't allow you to do that. Yeah, it's like a bit.
That's why I don't show YouTube chat on stream. It's too risky because then
you're, you are liable for what is said in YouTube chat, but on this one,
the chatter is liable for what they said and can be punished by Twitch.
It's a whole thing. So I just stay away from doing it. You know,
that's why they talk about it. They're like, Hey,
you're allowed to multi-stream, but do not combine your chats on stream.
Yeah. So similar to global in-game chats, exactly.
Which is why you have to block those as a streamer.
You watch the streamer play video game
with frequent use of the N word.
Does that work the same way?
Yeah, you're supposed to hide your chat.
They can totally get in trouble for that
because you are liable for everything
that is broadcast through your channel.
And if Twitch doesn't have a path to reprimand the user
because it's not actually a Twitch user,
you displayed it, that's on you.
Now, which is why I'm so careful about that.
There's a reason I've never been banned on Twitch.
Never have.
And like, it's because I pay attention
that you don't screw it up, you know.
Yeah.
Oh no, it's super dangerous.
Like, here, let me pull it up.
Let me see, Twitch multi-stream rules.
You grab this.
Samo casting guidelines.
Let me grab this, waiting for it.
Twitch will take 10,000 years for their help desk
to show up in a moment.
Chat.
Yeah, here we go. There's a couple of things you can't do with this. Twitch may not be used to drive users to another live stream on another platform or service. You can't use Twitch to drive people to YouTube.
Because what some people were doing is they would go live on Twitch, they'd wait about an hour, and they say, hey, I'm going to end this stream out, we're going to go continue on YouTube, and then they would drive everybody over to YouTube.
And they were just harvesting viewers from Twitch to YouTube. And that's what they were doing. So that was one of them.
I'm going to use third-party tools that combine activity from other platforms or services such as chat if I'm just using them for my personal usage.
Yes, you are free to use these for your personal use.
The prohibition on third-party tools only applies to content presented to viewers either on or off Twitch.
You cannot present that combined chat to viewers on the broadcast.
For yourself, you can do it, which is why I have it here in OBS where I have YouTube and I have Twitch and I can see both of those chats.
chats. However, they cannot be displayed on stream. And like
people don't read that and they really should. They really
should because you can get in deep shit. If that person from
YouTube says something heinous, you're the one who's gonna
catch the band, not them. The one thing I like about YouTube is
if you're banned in chat, your shadow band true. Yeah, that is
really weird. Right. It's a very strange thing. Yeah. And you
can't unban them on YouTube. That's the worst. There's no like slash unban guy's name. You
have to go search through their, their band system, which is a nightmare. It only shows
a hundred people at a time and there's no search in there. So you're screwed. Are you
banned? No, you're not banned. You wouldn't be able to see the stream if you were banned
on Twitch. A number of minutes ago, you were talking about tier two to two or three sub
benefits. Fun fact about that, Twitch can do private streams for subs, but is all, all
tier subs. I don't like the idea of private streams. I've never liked that. I feel like
I feel like you should just be here if you want to be here, right? I don't think there
should be like a I don't like paywalls for that shit. You know, maybe that's at my detriment,
but whatever. I think if you're doing tier one, tier two, tier three, right? I wish there was
more that we could do for that. I don't think there's a lot of incentives here at all. I don't
I don't think that's like a good benefit to viewers.
I also wish that we could change those values ourselves
to make them whatever amount we want for each of those.
YouTube allows us to do that.
Twitch does not.
We can't change that for ourselves.
And I think if we could,
you'd get a lot more international viewers
that would be interested in doing this
because you could localize the costs yourself
to be what you want them to be.
I would say to YouTube and Rumble members on these streams,
see, I'm not a fan of it.
I'm just not a fan of it.
And I understand there's economic drivers for that,
which is why they don't do it
because there's payment processing fees
and everything goes along with that,
but it is shitty, you know.
See the channel settings?
Yeah, you can't really change any channel settings
for tier one, two, and three.
You get some emotes, but that's about it, you know?
It's just emotes.
You...
["Temperatman"]
That's why you usually only see big streamers
like Timberatman with both chats on.
Yeah, it's just risky, right?
But if you're like, if you're like super large and don't give a shit, then whatever, you take the risk, it's your risk to take.
Mad underscore dog DK said update on my diet, lost 44.5 pounds in three months but now the intense part over and it has changed diet and exercise and my weight is still going down.
To all the young people, do not let yourself get fat if you have the choice it is not worth the trouble of losing it again.
But man chocolate still tastes to good.
You got damn right.
No I understand man.
I gained five pounds over Christmas and I haven't been able to get it off again so I'm just kind of chilling out, hoping it goes away.
Let it, let it leave.
Yeah.
What is this? You don't care if they're member-only streams? Don't put them at the top of my feed?
If I'm not a member? Dude!
It's an ad, that's why.
I wish there was something I could do about that, because I make my YouTube videos members only.
And then they release to everybody.
But I do that because YouTube pushes them more if I do it.
You know.
and
that
All right, I'm putting this up on YouTube.
The shortest hilarious dude.
It's the Whitestone Bramble one from yesterday.
Yeah, it's the Whitestone Bramble, dude.
That's the funniest shit.
That blows me away.
It's super funny.
You never see ads?
Yes, it depends on your region, right?
So if you have a region, if you have an audience,
and that audience is in a region,
or of an age, it's based on region age habits,
so you're watching habits.
And it may even have like other stuff in there of like,
do they buy hamburgers?
Are they vegetarian, right?
Depends, depends on which levers
to which has the pole for this.
And basically an advertiser comes and goes,
I want to advertise to people 18 to 24,
and I want to talk to them about loans, right?
Like whatever it's going to be.
And they're like, okay, cool, we'll do that.
We'll do that with people that are, you know,
in a region where that matters,
of an age category where that matters,
where they're looking to buy a home or a car, right?
And then they'll match that advertisement up
with those people, is generally how this ends up working.
And Twitch has different lovers for this.
And we could see that because different categories
of different ads, different age regions get different, different ads in different regions
get different ads. Like if you're in Russia, you probably don't get any ads on my channel.
You just won't. Because there's not really any advertisers that are advertising specifically
in Russia. In fact, they're not advertising in Russia because it can't make money off
of it. So I think, do you think they banned advertising Russia? Absolutely. Yeah, they
don't get any money off of that. So advertisers don't want to pay for that because they're
empty ad fills. If an advertiser is buying 10,000 ad fills, right? Do you want that ad
to go to a person who can't pay for your product? And the answer is no. So because of that,
they mark out regions where people can't buy the thing. And then they only deliver it to
regions where they can or age ranges where they can maybe habits where they can. And
that's it. Yeah, the thousand hours, no ads from Russia. Exactly. So like, when you're
looking at this, you're, you're getting specific advertisements that are based on you as a viewer,
your habits, your age range, your region and your gender too. That could be a thing as well.
Sometimes they screw it up though. Every once in a while, everybody in the channel will start
getting ads in Spanish and I don't know why because I don't speak Spanish and none of the people
talking about it speak Spanish. For a while, Dutch people were only receiving ads in Spanish
And they kept talking about it. It was like a whole week that that happened. It was very weird
What about Subaru ads? If you want Subaru ads, all you have to do is say the word Subaru
Subaru Subaru Subaru. It's kind of like Beetlejuice. You summon it, right?
So you say it three times and then your next ad break is Subaru's
It's true. Yeah, I don't know why but it is
It's probably confirmation bias, but it's really funny
Yeah, super, super, super, super, super, right? Yeah. Lego, Lego, Lego. Exactly. But like,
this is, this is kind of how that works, right? So you're dealing with ad revenue. This is
a very high level thing. There's a lot more components to it than this. But region and
age seem to be the big drivers on Twitch. For that region, the being the biggest one,
biggest one. You just saw an ad in Spanish. Are you Dutch? Cause that would be
really funny. Cause we kept seeing Dutch users. They'd be like, why is my ad in
Spanish? And I go, where are you from? They're like, I'm Dutch. I'm like,
that's really weird. Yeah, that's real. That's really a weird one. You've never
received an ad depends on what part of the world you're in. You're American,
you've got a Spanish, but that's not that weird though. You know, we have a lot of
Spanish speaking people in the US. So, but with region and age, if you're in
Russia, you're not getting any ads. You're not getting any ads in Russia. You
haven't been for a long time. And like, if you have a primarily Russian audience,
say you're a Russian streamer, you have primarily Russian audience,
guess what's going to happen to your ad revenue? Go on.
And you may not realize what's going on. So on the broadcaster's side,
you have to understand how ad revenue works,
how audience variation plays into ad revenue money overall.
And you have to be like, is Twitch screwing me or do advertisers just not
advertised to this reason region anymore. That's the big thing for that. Yeah. Oh, great.
Add God stop showing me Travago. Don't you want to jet to holiday? Come on. Come on.
You Spanish and get to ads in Dutch. It's coming full circle. Bull circle. Yeah. You
didn't check Travago full. You're Australian. You once got an Indian ads. Yeah. I mean,
We screwed up all the time. It happens. 80% of the ads you get for Twitch or Turbo.
So that's another weird one. Turbo for a long time, I believe the Turbo just counts it as
being an ad view. It doesn't. Turbo does a different thing on Twitch. It's very weird
and it gets into like super technical bullshit. But for a while I was like, oh, it's just
ad views. And then I talked to Mike Minton, who's the chief modernization officer at
Twitch at the time, he's changed roles now. He's something higher than that now.
But he's like, Oh, no, it's not ads.
They take your total amount of viewed hours
among those who have turbo.
And then they split that there's like a conversion to split based on the
number of people watching you that have turbo across the entire region.
And you get a percentage of this based on the viewed hours.
It's basically split evenly based on the number of people watching you that have
turbo based on the total amount of take of turbo and then they do it as a split so
that twitch never loses money on this which is really smart actually it's
exactly the same as how YouTube does that with YouTube premium exactly you
got it so like twitch doing it in this way makes infinitely more sense than
twitch doing it as its ads which means if you're in a region that doesn't have
ads and you get turbo anyway it still supports the streamer which I find to
be fascinating. Yeah. But also you'd have no reason to buy it.
Because you don't get any ads, right? Yeah. How does a
creator quantify the value of turbo? Ah, therein lies the
thing, right? So the creator can quantify the value of turbo
because we actually get it on our monthly information. They
split it out. They give us a graph and it shows you how much
ad revenue you make. And then they show you like how much
turbo revenue you make and they show you percentages on all of
this shit, they break everything down and you can switch it around and change
it any way they want to.
It's actually a really good amount of data.
It's actually an awesome amount of data.
Yeah.
And I think turbo is a good deal for you.
If you are normally subbed to two or more streamers, however, turbo doesn't
give you your emotes.
I really feel a lot of the time the turbo is better for viewing Twitch.
And I think emotes are there for you to sub for more than anything else.
Yeah.
Also, speaking of which, we want to add more emotes to the ferret software channel.
I'm going to do that.
Do we know yet what turbo plus sub interaction?
Nope. Nobody does.
That's not a good joke.
Okay. I talked to Mike Minton about this.
I talked to multiple engineers throughout Twitch over the last five years.
I talked to Dan Clancy about this, the CEO.
Nobody knows the answer to this.
If you have turbo, money goes to the streamer based on the number of hours that they have
that they have turbo washers. If you don't have turbo, ads pay the streamer, right? When you watch that.
If you have a sub, you don't get ads. What happens if you have a turbo and sub? Nobody knows. Nobody has an answer for this.
There are two support pages for Twitch.
One of them says it does give you money, and the other one says it doesn't.
Twitch doesn't know.
If you have both...
We don't know!
Heh.
Like, we have no idea.
So, like, the only thing I could think of is that Turbo still works, probably.
But I don't know.
Yeah.
If you have both, you take a screenshot, dude, exactly.
Turbo plus Prime sub, here, stand visible, friends, hell yeah.
Shouldn't you be getting money though?
Yeah, so the sub still gives you money, like the sub gives you money.
You don't get ads because of that, but then also you have turbo and turbo should be giving
you money.
So my expectation, my hope is that you both get money for this.
But the answer is, I don't know and there's no way to test this.
And that's the problem.
Because I have no way at all to test this and the only way I could find out the answer
is by talking to engineers and none of them know the answer.
Which is, and I've been trying to find this answer for five years.
It's like, it's my golden goose, dude.
It's my like, my holy grail of like finding out the deep magics of Twitch and nobody knows.
knows nobody knows yet and you say you're confused about how Twitch doesn't know
because whoever implemented it is probably long since gone you have this
giant system and nobody actually knows the truth on it and the help
documentation shows the opposite of itself one is like now they don't get
anything and the other ones I gotta get it and it's like it's just 40k shit yeah
no clue nobody knows nobody knows who nobody's allowed to tell I mean I doubt
It's nobody's allowed to tell from all the conversations I had like nah, I doubt it
Should be easy enough for them to test internally you would hope so
Supposedly that's why they don't push for turbo subs know they push for turbo a lot in fact
When twitch doesn't have ads for you
They try to fix that because ad revenue drop-offs are really bad for the platform like when the ads drop off
It makes them look bad content creators lose money people lose faith in the platform
They fill some of those ad spots with turbo ads.
They advertise their own products on that and you still get money as if it was an ad fill.
So like, they definitely want turbo to work.
Turbo is a better deal for Twitch and it's usually a better deal for you if you're subbed to multiple channels.
So yeah, you get turbo ads a lot.
Yeah, especially in January.
January is when you'll start giving your shitload of turbo ads because there's very little ad fill, you know.
know. And by the way, even with turbo ads running, we still reduce ad revenue in January by about 50%.
It's super low compared over over December. Yeah. I don't know about turbo. But as until I heard it on
the stream. Yeah. That's the worst part about it, man. Like you're gonna hear you go to my channel,
right
You see that up there let me do this and it pauses
Do you see that shitty little gray button up there that says gift turbo? That's where you get turbo
They just like put it in an armpit and they're like why don't people know
Come on man like show people that button make it purple
Maybe it's screaming people shoot stars out of it. I don't know man like something anything
You don't even have that on your incot damn it
Yeah, they need to give you a UI. I agree with that. Honestly, dude. Honestly, do you want to know my take on this, dude?
Take it and put it right down here. Just put it there. You're like, go turbo.
Put it there. Stop it up there. Put it down here. Put it down here next to our sub-button. You want to advertise that? Should put it there.
It's good for us to streamers, anyone.
Yeah.
Yours will say go ad free.
Exactly.
It'll say go ad free instead of turbo, which is already weird.
Yeah, go ad free for free now.
What do you mean for free?
What does that even mean?
What do you mean for free?
What does that mean?
Oh, they have a trial period.
You seven day free trial.
Yeah, as a turbo user, it says gift.
We can gift turbo now, which is weird.
I've never seen that before, but we can actually, like they have a button now where you can
do this and you can actually gift it to people in your channel, which is neat.
Yeah, gifted turbo.
Yeah, the gift of turbo.
But can you gift turbo? Yes. But not on YouTube.
Zach, for the 15 gifted subs dude. Actually wild, thank you. Thank you very much. It's really nice of you.
Does it count as a gift sub? No. No it doesn't.
It's not hooked up into the hype train, it's not hooked up into anything actually. It's just its own thing.
It's an incredibly nice thing.
Yeah, yep, why I don't know they just never did it right so like if you give
turbo to another user I don't even know if it creates an alert man I don't think
it does anything because that doesn't I don't even know is there an API call for
that I don't think there is in stream chat you post to the button you see
I'm going to go into this chat room stream chat oh yeah yours says go add free for free
holy shit dragon forger with the 10 gifted subs my man that is incredibly nice of you
What is that?
What is that hype emote that's in there, dude?
When it gained a level, did you see that screaming head slide by?
Probably gives Jeff a tingly feeling. Maybe it does.
Maybe that's what it does.
Two suits against Intrepid and Warnack.
Violations dropped yesterday, I saw.
Good.
That's what the emote is?
Oh, it's a rage out emote.
It looks like Link. Far away, I'll be honest with you, with any of it's really small, it kind of looks like a horse screaming with a short face.
It does. A little bit. Just a tad.
But when you're clicking on it, it looks like Link. Yeah.
It looks like a cartoon horse chip holy shit thank you those gifted sons you guys are
wild.
Level 7 now.
The API is working so that's good I got everything fixed up it's a hell yeah.
Boo.
Now that's wild.
Yeah I don't understand the thousand dude.
We're running a three hour nap, two cups of tea, and a giant monster.
Let's go.
God damn.
Playing games today?
We probably will.
We've been talking for the last like hours, so.
I've got a bunch of stuff that I set up in Hytale now, so I'm pretty excited for that.
We've got a working sickle that actually functions correctly.
We've got plants that actually grow and give us experience for archaeology of all things.
So that's funny.
So we've got our prototype done.
So that's good.
Jake's been spending time working on that.
I've been spending time working on it.
Pretty happy with it overall.
So, hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Can we get Make Path of Exon?
I don't, you could.
Yeah, you totally could.
Can you say, hmm?
I could say that.
Chonkem, but I think it'd be more appropriate if you did.
It's true.
Graphic design is my passion, what did you send me?
Oh god!
Wha-
Heh, what is-
You know-
Bear.
Great.
Just make it first, we'll make it not ugly later.
I'll make some UI for that shit.
That's grim.
It's pretty gross, I don't wanna talk about it.
It is pretty gross, but-
You're doing it.
and you just have to make it dynamically pop up onto the screen forever infinitely because that'll be fine
that is ugly ugly yeah welcome to programmer maybe
programmer all right yeah it's great work needs to work that way you got to block it out first none
release ready assets yeah it's time to time to go to prod with that exactly one make make one
left the line of the other right of lines no no no why would you do full left the line and right
You've got to do it like this. If you're going to align it right, you've got to align it to the left, right?
But then you have to have a random value between 1 and 50.
Where 1 and 50 is the number of pixels away from the edge that it is each time it spawns in.
On both sides.
For instance.
Random.
Clearly, this is the way.
Calm down, Satan. Oh, no. You want me to make it worse than that? Then you need to do a value between negative one and one, and that is the amount of rotation that it has. So it rotates. Yeah, just sometimes it's aligned, sometimes not so much.
One in three chance for it to be perfect. And then the other two, it's rotated by one degree.
Yeah, also, the percentage doesn't go to 100%.
It goes to 99.9% and then completes and never shows that finished value.
Who made you this way?
You did, I think.
I think it was you.
I think it was more you than anything else.
It actually never did.
I think, I think what we should do this time, Jake, is we should probably do some visual flare on it. We're like, if it gets to 100%, we should show the 100% for a moment and then make it like do a thing and then drain back to zero.
Does that make sense? So there's like, there's fanfare with it, fireworks and bullshit, whatever, something.
Something.
You know what I mean?
Confetti with a fool.
You can't do it right.
You want to level up animation?
Now that we can actually do that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it'd be cool to do.
Can we get a dumping instead of fireworks?
I mean...
Sure.
Why not?
Shhh.
Show the Windows calculator in the Cursed 8 key.
Oh yeah.
I think I have mine set to scientific mode right now.
Let me pop it off that.
Go back to standard.
Yeah, so we can take this, and you can grab that, and then go like this, right?
And then take that, and then put it in here, and then do this.
I think mine might be fixed right now.
I think mine is ironically, wait, wait.
No, it's down here now. Look at that
Oh, no, it might be fixed it might actually be fixed right now. Oh, no, there it is
Yeah
Yeah, it's right there these are in a line
weird right yeah you hate it it's just there it's just permanently there you
know just like that weird right
anyone enjoy that by the nines what are we looking at pain you're looking at
pain my favorite part about it is that these are aligned right here like you
see that's perfectly aligned but for whatever reason they just made this one shorter by
one pixel and that one shorter by one pixel and this one longer this one longer who knows why
i don't have an answer for that it's weird
why'd you do that to me i won't sleep no good
somebody uses scat programs that hurts me i know it's weird right it's like very strange
Real pain is the length in short cut. You mean holding control alt shift windows game hitting L?
Do it with T.
Also, thank you very much for that hype train level 7, 31 subs and 800 bits. It's very nice here.
Legitimately. Do it with T. Do it. Control alt shift windows key T.
I'm going to go back and use the bathroom.
I have returned the 90s were a blur bear exist
should look at my last last message so two messages ago
what is this
I almost have enough kills to move up to the next storyline component in my sooner now.
I just have to kill two Mitsu Tsune's.
And I'm about to kill one of them.
Tsuna.
Got it.
He's still slapping crabs in old screw escape.
I forgot to turn it on today.
I'm AXP wasting, dude.
That's a mistake.
Let me fix that.
Yeah, I got, I got nerd logged earlier and I just forgot to fix it.
I know I forgot to fix my nerd logging.
I know I'm a, I'm a fail scaper, dude.
Why you like this guy, damn it.
I just, I just wanted to scape runes and I forgot to scape my runes.
I'm just killing a fulgur angineath right now.
Oh yeah, I had a big question.
How many of you guys play Monster Hunter Wilds?
How many of you guys have been playing that?
Wait, okay, there we go, I actually had two of these open at the same time.
You- Crabs.
You do, not for a while.
Of the people who have played it recently, is performance actually better?
Because I've heard that it's good.
And I've heard that things are getting better with it.
It's much better?
Is it actually?
Really?
I might need to check that out then.
Rude.
I'm fighting a Riftborn engine if it's mad.
I'm shooting its tiny little hands though.
What? Oh, his hitbox is broken. I forgot about that.
Gunlance for days.
I have killed the Riftborn Angel now.
Show the runescape. You need it.
Do you need this runescape? Do you require it?
Monty-hunter? It might be Monty-hunter today.
Good thing.
Supposedly it was fixed. Yeah, that's what I've been hearing, is that it's like in a good spot.
Dualblade's hurricane to the wind. I play gun last, man.
Actually, do you want to see my build in Monster Hunter?
Let me see.
Uh, Mon-hunter.
Is it MHN?
Is it?
I don't even know what the command is.
What the hell's the command?
I have a command for this. Is it build?
That's my Borderlands 4 builds.
What the hell was my build? Command. It's not mushroom.
After Hytale, all the other block type games movement is dismal at best. After playing Hytale, I went back to try to play Minecraft and it felt like shit.
I can't handle it.
I don't remember where the command is.
That's Monster Hunter now.
I need to find my build.
Some mobile litics.
Yeah, this is my build.
there we go last time i updated it was march 2025 but uh it was considered the top build for a while
for support but i wrote this whole thing for you guys here
it's not even mon hunt there's no command for it there you go
you can delete the build command though jake the exclamation point build can just be removed
because that's too specific.
Yeah.
Thanks, man.
But yeah, if you look at this, like it's, um,
it's everything that you need from a support build.
What about destiny?
I don't even think we have a destiny commander.
Oh yeah, kill that.
That's an ancient one.
So holds up on current end game.
That's good.
Yeah, this, no, this, this build is everything you need.
from a support class. Like everything. It is super wildly efficient. I built this
like right when Monster Hunter Wilds released is this is this is my in-game build.
So I didn't want to kill that a while ago. Yeah, I forgot about it. I forgot about that command.
But now with the new amulets, this is going to change. I could do even more wild shit now.
Because like we were using mushroom charm three, but I found a charm the other day
that does like four of a thing, right?
Like my gun lance build is broken now because of it.
When is Monster Hunter then?
Probably today.
But if you're wondering what my build does,
this does this to everybody in the party.
35 defense, five resist all, 15 attack,
10% base defense, 10% base attack,
15% base status element, divine protection,
all ailments negated, dashed use,
immunizer and wide range heals.
100% of the time for your whole party. Nobody dies, dude. Like nobody dies. Unless they
do something really goddamn stupid. This is 100% uptime on all of that. And it's a it's
a dual hunting horn build that I made. And it gives you full wide range botanist earplugs
free meal. So like when you eat, there's a 45% chance you don't even eat the thing.
blessing geologist speed eating slugger dragon attack stamina thief mushroom
answer horn maestro adaptability blind cider and shock absorber and you get
forager's luck so whenever you find a gathering point there's a chance to get
the rare one so because of this you are not the worthless guy sitting in the
back you're actually hitting the monster in the face because of stamina thief
dragon attack and slugger you're knocking them out you're draining their
stamina with exhaust and stun power and you're buffing everyone in the party
It's awesome, dude. Like it's really awesome. Meanwhile, Rando's and Gogh Hunt, honestly,
I have back when, um, God, what is that? What is that horrible dragon that is made out of
disease? You know what I'm talking about? That one tells that thing called we had to
form it a shitload. Gormagala, best one. Gormagala, random. I could do Gormagala random and no
No one would die with totally random people.
And I did it all day to get all of my Gorsh it.
Like all of my Gorgir was because I ran this build and I was just like, random's on the
ground again, full health, random's on the ground again, full health.
Because when you eat a mushroom with mushroom answer, if you eat a blue mushroom, it heals
everybody in the party for 30% of their maximum HP with no tick time.
It is instant health.
There's no like draw up.
There's no healing over time. It's just full, which is crazy.
And because you have, um, free meal, you just get it back.
Just randomly get it back. Yeah. I super love it, dude. Yeah.
I super love it. Oh, uh, Jim, over on YouTube side,
you should go to the Twitch side, man. We've got like 3000 people on Twitch.
Usually Twitch is dramatically, it's most of the community.
YouTube's not most of the community.
So if you're wondering where everybody is,
it's never been on YouTube side for the streams. That's if you have wide range.
Yes. And you should have wide range. This is a wide range bill.
That's the whole point of it. So you run, you run wide range with that.
And then you get it with this.
And the reason I was able to pull that off so well is, um, if you look at
Siltcode, Siltcode is for wide range and one item, which is like, okay, man.
Like it's just completely busted.
ASC is a shit show.
What do we think about this?
I already put out a video about it.
If you want to watch my video on YouTube, man.
Yeah.
Balzac is cat with ham on his face for me.
What does that mean?
What does that even mean, dude?
But now I wrote a whole write up for this
of how you use this and how it works.
But the idea is that you start with one instrument,
cue up all of your songs,
use them to buff everybody
and then switch to your other instrument.
And after you switch to your other instrument,
use that one to do extend melodies
and you never have to switch back to the original.
And that's it.
And you're good to go.
Yeah.
does YouTube always have ways to do TTS?
Oh, no, I don't exclude them in any way.
Everything goes over to our Streamerbot system,
and this has pending actions,
and you can see there's a super chat right there in it.
And if that doesn't go through,
because YouTube takes 30% and it could be in any currency,
we do a live currency conversion,
and then that goes over to debt at the end of the stream
if I don't answer that.
So if I grab this and I go up to here,
how many of you guys don't know about the debt system
for this stream?
whoop, grab that, grab this, do that. Yeah, so if you at every time I answer a TTS, it
goes into here, you can see the whole text, the person's name and a link to where they
were talking. If I don't answer your message by the end of the stream, I don't keep the
money because I didn't earn it. So that goes into debt and then we pay it out to charity
and then I give you guys other receipts to the charity. I actually have one more receipt
to add to that and I have to increase this by $1,000 because I paid into Alvea Sanctuary's
is Wolf Rescue and I bought pixels on their giant board,
which is kind of fun.
So yeah, slower on the tube it is.
Yeah, it's way slower on tube.
But a lot of people watch on YouTube
because Twitch is banned in their office, man.
So like that's the point of it.
Cool, yeah, like this is my way of being like,
I didn't earn that money because it didn't answer your question
because they felt so bad, dude.
Like I just felt so bad about like people would throw in
questions and they didn't get an answer
and I just kept their money.
I was like, this gotta be a way to fix this
because I can't refund it.
There's nothing I can do there.
Thousands of people tricked into sharing
Facebook picture of dog with ham on its face.
Bro, what?
What?
Also, you have to explain why it's negative
because I spent more money than I needed to on charity
because I paid a lot of money in the Seedogs charity auction
and I bought the screaming Roomba of Michael Reeves
and I bought,
I bought a skull.
See, that's charity auction and I bought my own challenge going back
Because it was funny. Yeah, my grief screaming room buddha
Yeah, and William Osmond skull. I have both of those for charity for charity. Yeah using using the charity money for charity. Yes
Yeah, the screaming room by on the screaming room, but it's in it's in a box in the corner. I have not rebuilt it
So that is the thing. I didn't steal money from the orphans
I'm just in
Technically you're in debt to the orphans. Alright. Oh, I hear it. That's that's you
Oil Baron behavior
Honestly, it was really funny because we were going up by like one dollar over and over again
And it was um, I think it was small ant trying to get my like William Osmond skull
I think it's who it was against me and then I went to ten thousand dollars and he tapped out
But ten thousand dollars was my limit
If he would have gone one dollar more, I would have said no.
But he didn't.
He tapped out.
I was like, oh, I guess it's mine.
And then it was mine.
It's very funny.
So now I own it.
And it's sitting in the corner of the room.
How are they doing?
They're in hibernation.
It's that time of year.
Queen seems to be doing okay.
But I don't know. You never know what's gonna happen with them in hibernation. It's real fragile time, especially first year.
Keep trying to send money to the orphans, but some pirate with software keeps stealing it. I'm sure.
They'll never prove it.
Nizalama with 500 bits said Yachir 500.
I was talking with someone on the internet about Final Fantasy and they said to me Final Fantasy 7 was their first retro game
and they believe Final Fantasy 15 is better to start playing the saga.
My heart stopped for a second, so now I must remind you all, Final Fantasy VII is a game
from the late 1900s.
Man, that's actually pain.
Maybe it's actually unironically pain.
It is.
It is actually a game from the late 1900s.
Final Fantasy is old enough.
Final Fantasy VII is old enough to rent a car.
Is it 25?
Is it 25 years old?
Chat treat yourself to lead Facebook?
I did ages ago.
Yeah, I deleted my Facebook ages ago then.
Yeah, ages and ages.
The Attila 1 came out in the late 1900s too.
Pokemon is 30.
That's upsetting.
I'm upset.
What about my other builds?
I've got a couple other builds in here that I made.
But they're not as fun.
Big Dacke I still use. Big Dacke is awesome.
Dacke Dacke Dacke Dacke.
I want to rebuild this one to make it work better.
I really do. Because it's fun, man.
It's like a really fun build.
And it does so much damage.
Oh my god, it does so much damage.
You can never have too much Dacke. True.
Actually true.
I forget what the equipment is on this though, it's an exploiter charm.
Yeah, it gives two weakness exploit, it gives Wex.
I don't know if the Wex is worth it.
I feel like there's probably a better use of stuff if we do that.
Diablo will be 30 this year? Yeah.
I like Path of Exile more than Diablo though at this point.
Like after looking over the content of the new expansion and seeing like how anemic their descriptions were,
I actually think I just like Path of Exile more as both like a studio that makes games and as a video game
Which is really depressing for me because I love Diablo. I grew up on Diablo like I love the Harajim
I love the prime evils. I think they're cool as shit
I love the grimdark fantasy, but it's gone in a direction that I just don't care about
It's pure you have a story like a Diablo. It does. Yeah, there's a bunch of story in there
It's quite cool, but I think the biggest problem that I'm seeing now man is like we shut this off earlier if we go to Diablo
or blizzard lord of hatred and we look at this web page right for their whole expansion and then we go to path of exile
Druid and this is just their update where they added Druid for free you scroll down this and they have the paladin
with class information for the trailer for that and then there and then that's it and then all of this is like new region
And it's just a paragraph of text with a single static image
They say major updates for all the other four players for their talent tree, but they don't explain any of that
They have the vessels of hatred which is a a video for the last expansion and
Then what cosmetics you get for buying it you get a path of exile for their free update
And they have videos showing what each of the shapeshifts for the new druid do and what they look like
Right there so you can visually explain this right and visually see what they're doing and you mouse over their actual attacks with all the stats
like right there to see what every one of the abilities does, right? Like I just
think Path of Exile is better at this. I really do think they're just directly
better than Blizzard at doing the same genre of game, right? Oh my god, that
way it looks so fun. Exactly. And like the reason it looks fun is because they
I put in the effort to make the website explain that to you.
And I'm like, you know what I mean?
I think they do.
I think they've learned from Diabolus mistakes
instead of repeating them.
I agree with you.
And like this, this is what we want to see, man.
Like if you're an action RPG player,
you give a shit about them stats, right?
Like you care about that.
Look at this, you can even see this,
this like crazy legendary talisman on here.
I didn't even know that existed.
It's cool to sell.
Gain one druidic prowess for every 20 total rage spent.
I don't even know what that does.
But like this is what I'm talking about, man.
It's like, Path of Exile just does it better.
They just do the same thing better.
Huey for Diablo is high-tailed to Minecraft pretty much.
Yeah, I can draw that kind of connection for sure.
And I just, Huey is HTML maxing more.
It is explaining more to the player
so that you feel confident in giving them your money, right?
And that's really what it comes down to.
In terms of game, which would you consider best?
I actually like Path of Exile more.
I think that the combat is deeper.
I think that the choices are more interesting,
and I think the gear is more interesting as well.
And I didn't used to feel that way.
I really liked Diablo 3,
and I thought Diablo 3 to me was more fun
than Path of Exile 1 for a very long time.
And then Path of Exile 1 started to evolve
and started to get better,
and then Path of Exile 2 came out,
and it's better now than Diablo 4 to me.
Diablo 4 was really fun for a little while, but then there was no end game.
And I think the Pag of Exile 2 really does the end game quite well.
Yeah, it gets really sweaty at the high end, but that's fine.
If you want to be sweaty, be sweaty, right?
Yeah.
That shapeshifting wither and made me uninstall Diablo and get Pag of Exile 2.
Not going to lie.
Yeah, no, do 100%.
And like, when I look back over here and they're like, they're like,
it's going to change.
Not telling you how.
I'm like, dude, if you're changing a core system and you want to garner customers,
you want to garner players, you need to go deep into this and explain what is changing.
There should be a whole dropdown, like drag out thing with information on this, right?
All of it. All of it should be in there. And this is exactly what they're doing here.
They're just giving information for all of that. And I really think that they need to do this.
Even this, look at that. How nice that is. So you can click on it and see the
Ascendancies at least get a blurb about that a sentencing
Bro, what are you buying out aOC? What does that even mean? You mean like buying the game? No, what? No
You know much money that would cost they were burning eight hundred thousand dollars a week
Do you think I have that kind of money?
Bro, I'm using my streamer money to make an animal rescue like I don't I don't got money for that shit you kidding me
Yeah.
Just by the great game bro.
Like no, dude.
No.
Yeah.
That's insane.
Actually.
No, I'm, I'm spending all my money on building the animal rescue dude, which we actually
broke ground yesterday.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
How many guys didn't see that update?
It's just a geo survey because they're doing the geo survey work right now, but they brought
out a diggy truck and they dug in the ground to do a geosurvey to see how far down the there's
like a layer where the the glacier ground across the ground and like everything else on top is
like topsoil and they had to see how far down that was for creating the foundations and also for
putting in a septic tank so we've done that now so that's finished which is cool technically broken
down technique or broken ground rather technically there which is kind of huge and that's a big deal
Man, like that's a really big deal. We got him out there and it's doing a thing
Yeah, it's not the true ceremonial groundbreaking exactly. I said only a geo server for now
But we've technically broken ground for the ferret rescue. It's a big deal. Yeah
Did you scream we're rich? No, we're rich gold a
Mushroom, you know, like you broke ground when you get a fix that they back filled it back in
There's a big pile of dirt right there, but they filled it back in afterwards
They had to do it twice to like determine what's up
So this was, this was the second one. And this was the first one. We're digging it up.
Must get beans to do the ceremonial one. Yeah, I mean, like,
we're going to make a big deal about it. I want to do it live on stream. I want to do this whole
thing, you know, and I'm hoping, I'm hoping that we do this this year. Our hope is to get this started
by spring and like build, like actually build.
And the build is gonna go fast.
We just need to get through some,
a couple more government tape scenarios.
No secret bunker under, nothing like that.
Yeah, nothing like that.
You guys wanna see the actual layout?
There's a couple of things that we're gonna change.
Let me grab this, I put it in the ferret chat.
Let me grab this.
Now understand, this is not done.
We've got some changes we have to do in terms of layout and everything like that.
But this is the general layout of the building right now.
So we've got all of this set up.
And the things are going to change is we're getting rid of this door in the quarantine
room over in the side here.
And we're moving this sink to the bottom left and the quarantine room is only going to have
cages along.
Let me do this.
I only have cages along this right side over here.
And we're going to put a deep basin there.
Then we're going to get two washers, two dryers up against this wall, and we're going to move
that debase and sink over to here in this corner or in that corner, either one of those.
Take this sink, move it over here into this corner, and then in the medical room, we'll
have a refrigerator right here for all of our cold storage stuff and then dry storage
underneath these, like underneath there.
And then these are the ferret rooms.
So we have these 19 feet and six inches by 24 feet and three inches on each of these.
and there'll be three of those rooms
and we'll set up cameras in those for each of those.
Yeah.
And once we get it done, like that'll be it, man.
We'll have a kitchen out over here
for like cleaning up stuff in a dishwasher for dishes
and then a storage room for all the dry storage stuff,
bathroom, we're probably gonna use one toilet in the bathroom
and then like two sinks, like basin sinks.
But we're gonna do drains on the floor as well of these,
but we're talking about drains in the floor
for like the grossest part, feces cleanup, right?
because you got animals and poop all over the place.
And our intention is to do that,
but we have to figure out like,
how do we do that without clogging the system?
How can it be drained out?
Like all the shit that goes into that,
the literal shit that goes into it.
And we have to figure that out now.
So we're talking to the contractors about like,
what's the best way to set up plumbing
and do all this kind of stuff?
Yeah, that's the whole deal.
Stream room or remote streaming,
we're actually gonna set it up in the break room,
the kitchenette rather.
We're gonna set up the computer in there
and I'm gonna run all the wiring across the ceiling
and we'll have everything run over a PUE injector,
because this will be super close to the node
for everything, so we'll run the wiring up in here.
Run that into this machine,
take that and then run the wiring above these
and you'll have a camera in each one of these rooms
and then you'll be able to control that camera
or use channel points or something
to move the camera between rooms.
I don't know how we're gonna do it quite yet.
But that is the general idea.
So we wanna use channel points
to let you interact with the cameras in some way.
I don't know if I'm gonna do different cameras,
probably keep doing BGH ones because they allow for the thermal,
the heating from them is just fine.
It's perfect. And that's not been a problem.
No, we're not doing three different streams. No, we're doing one stream. Yeah.
How many cameras per room? Probably one. It'll likely be one, maybe two.
We may have a floor cam and an up top cam. I don't know yet, right?
But we need to figure that out.
And the hardest part is we need to have an open,
open ceiling to like set up the camera rigging and get it all working.
Yeah, we wrote ground beta test exactly. Yeah, rotate on a timer. It'll probably rotate on a timer or have all of them in the UI. Like right now, if we go to, you know, ferrets live, let me pull this up.
Ferrets, please. I'm typing ferrets. There we go. If you go into this, let me pull this up. You can see we have this little camera down here, and that's the one towards the ground.
ground. We might have a setup like this where there's like one there and one there and then like
the big camera. And then we'll set something up where you can swap between them. I just don't
know how I want to do it quite yet. Yeah, the floor cam is cool, but like, we need to figure out
economy of space, camera wise, we may also be able to set up four cameras in blocks.
And just be like, that's what that looks like. And then you can, you can maybe we'll set something
up or use channel points to make one of them full screen. I just don't know yet. I don't know how we
how we want to do this yet.
Just found that GTA online has a shorter kick time
if you're alt tabbed, lame, oh, that's weird.
That's why you save 1.3 million channel points
for the fair channel.
Jesus, you're just gonna switch the camera
on a million times.
But yeah, that's kind of the stuff
that I can think about with that.
If like, what do we do?
How are we gonna set this up?
Maybe a camera swap for channel points with a cool done.
Yeah, it'll be a cool done.
It'll be like a channel swap or like a camera swap with that.
And then like we'll figure out what it's gonna be.
But I want them to be visually available
So you can see what's on the other ones, just in case, you know,
what are you thinking?
Max capacity is going to be 150.
So right now our max capacity is about 60 to 70.
That's kind of like the max end, right?
Uh, this will be up to 150 animals.
So it'll be, it'll be a lot.
Also we're doing work with local veterinarians right now and, uh, science group.
Uh, we are probably going to be cited in a paper, which is going to be pretty cool.
So that's a big deal for us.
Yeah. And a big deal for science, animals. So that's going to be neat.
How many are there right now? I think there's about 60 right now.
I'd have to ask Shea for the exact number because we just got some new ones in.
You see, what's this?
People crashing about the latest wow interview.
Nah, I haven't been paying attention to a while.
Yeah. So the science thing is going to be pretty cool.
Basically, we were talking to a vet that Shea talks to all the time.
Shave's talking to this vet, and adrenal disease in ferrets is a hormone condition, and it's
usually tested for in blood. So they have to take blood, and then even then it's like
a chance that they find it, and it's not very good. It's like not a very good way to test
for it. However, they found that if you test for adrenal in urine, it is 100% accurate
and less invasive. We have a lot of ferrets so we're going to be giving samples to them
to prove their test. They're setting up the test conditions now and once they have a paper ready
to do that test we're going to provide the animals for it to reduce costs for the overall cost of
all of this. It's going to get them tested and we will prove that science and the paper can be
published and we can change the practice of testing for adrenal from an invasive procedure that
It doesn't work very well and is very expensive to a non-invasive procedure that is very cheap
and 100% accurate and that will change all of your vet bills if you are a ferret owner,
which is kind of a big deal and it will allow for early detection of adrenal disease, which
means longer life spans for the animals.
So that's kind of the idea right now.
So that's what we're trying to do.
Where do you even get ferret urine in the in the ferret rescue?
Amazingly, they've created.
Surprising, I know.
Genuinely wholesome, I know. It's like a really good thing, man.
That's the kind of science that we're trying to do, is get involved with that and change procedures so that we can reduce cost and make it so that it's better for the animals.
That's the whole point with that.
Yeah, breaking animals pee.
4 at 11, exactly.
Yeah. RuneScape jumpscare. I know it's because I got nerdlogged. I wasn't paying attention.
But no, this is a pretty big deal. I think it's a really huge deal. And it'll lead us
to give more information and we can track them over time and then do all the stuff that
we need to do. And that'll be that. Don't see any pee in animals. The letter pee. I see
to see what you've done.
What's this?
What?
I have no idea about that creeper. You're gonna have to give me more information.
Yeah.
Whoop.
Oh, that hasn't been in there for months, still.
is that a frog you know that was it
it is a frog with a head
amazing
No, how dare you?
It's really awesome what you're doing for animals. Yeah, I feel really good about it, man. It's a lot of work, but
I'm happy about it, you know
It's gonna change a lot of shit so and a toad. Oh my god
It is a frog in a toad
He's got a tiny mustache and a pipe amazing actually
Yeah, that's incredible.
HBO announced a TV series based on Baldur's Gate games just after Baldur's Gate 3.
That's kind of cool.
And that's the one that they weren't including Lariat in?
Seems like a mistake, honestly. That's a little bit weird.
All right, ads are over.
We're going to Scott Bay.
Yeah, so that's all the stuff that's
gone on with the animal rescue, man.
We're doing a lot of shit all at once.
But DigiTrucks coming out is pretty cool.
Really happy about that.
Yeah, run escape, run escape.
And then the scientific research that we're doing
at the same time is really cool.
No laryn involvement, yet it's going to continue the story of the characters from BG3.
That seems like a mistake. Like, I don't even have to look into that even deeper than I have, which is not at all.
That just seems like a mistake.
That's just, I'm going to go farther. That's a mistake.
It doesn't even seem like a mistake. That's just a mistake.
Yeah, you probably should include them not only for the fan blast back that you're gonna get for excluding them, but also for like consistency of character.
You know what I mean? Yeah, that's a bit weird.
Yeah, that's really weird, man. That seems stupid.
Feels like someone really into their fan fiction, maybe.
Larry doesn't want to deal with the wizards the coast bullshit. You know, fair. I understand
that. What level am I now? 86 strength. Also, I have two labs. I love lamp. I love lamp.
Wizards the coast is pretty shooting to work with a barrel and yeah, I've heard that. That's
kind of sad. Are you a moth?
He told you.
No.
Let's follow the Halo series example. What can get wrong?
Dude, that sucks, man. Like that actually sucks.
Sad, but not shocking somehow.
I know this will be a while down the road. But what do you
guys think about publishing a book about ferrets on the run,
maybe that might be kind of fun, right? I kind of just like to
be real with you, I don't really want to publish a book, I want
to publish, I want to be involved in publishing more
scientific papers, like we are, you know, providing resources,
and going that direction, that's way more important to me,
because that's how we change medical practice, you know,
documentary makes sense, that'd be kind of cool.
call it how to ferret. A book on ferret care? I don't like that. And the reason why I don't like
that is the moment that you publish that it's already out of date. Like the only time you would
get that or produce that would be for private use for veterinarians. And even then, it's
that's an evolving practice. So it'd be a temporary thing. You'd have to republish it every year.
Yeah.
Negative website then? No, because then individual users would try to use it instead
instead of going to a vet.
Like I'm just gonna be real with you.
People are dumb.
If you show them, like, let's be real,
people are really stupid.
If you show them in any way,
any type of medical information whatsoever,
they're gonna run with that
instead of going to a doctor or a veterinary.
Look at WebMD.
Look at ChatGypity.
ChatGypity, same shit.
Yeah, you're pregnant.
Thanks, WebMD, that's fantastic, right?
Like, it's literally that.
Like, you, I can't produce something like that online
without people going, well, I don't have to go to a vet now.
And we've met people like that, man.
We've met people that have, like,
surrendered their ferrets to us
that were doing all the medicine themselves
because they were using AI to learn about medicine
and they think they know better than the vet.
Like it's just not, it's just not it, man.
It's really not it.
Yeah, it's grim.
So like, I don't wanna feed back into the system like that,
which is why we're going to be a part of medical studies
and research papers.
That's what we're doing,
because that is a controlled environment
that advances science instead of,
let's put something on the internet, so people are stupid.
It's like a very, it's a very different thing, right?
It's a very, very different thing.
Yeah.
And then we work with vets and actual medical professionals,
not just the internet, right?
You know, yeah, it's dangerous as shit.
People are stupid.
Yeah, if you have medical questions, go to a doctor.
Exactly.
For his pregnant, no.
You are.
Brain rot is real?
No, it's just, yeah, my hair keeps trying to eat my nose, dude.
It's not even just brain rot with that.
It's, I don't know if it's a fear of doctors
coupled up with that.
I don't know if it's because people don't trust
people in authority.
Maybe it's all of that.
But people tend to do things,
maybe they're afraid of doctors.
I don't know, but people tend to go to WebMD
and be like, I've diagnosed myself.
A fear of expense could be, could be fear of bills.
That's not great.
That's really not great.
I'm going to be real with you.
Back before you guys made me internet famous and I had zero monies.
I had state insurance.
So if you have the capability to find out what type of payment stuff you can do in your
local area because I had to get a, what was it like $96,000 surgery to add a valve to
this top of my stomach. And that cost me a hundred dollars. And it was all paid for
by the state, which was insane. So like to be real with you, there are definitely things
out there that will help you and you should look into them. Yeah, it was a hundred bucks.
The whole thing was under bucks.
And I was like, I saw the bonus.
Oh, and then after that, it was like, oh, it's only $100.
That's so much I know.
I was like, cool.
Tile free in Australia, there you go.
Yeah.
You spent $4,000 through back pain to be told you have stress.
Yeah, they tried to tell me I had stress too.
And then they were like,
hey, you're going to get a suffigial cancer.
And I was like, that doesn't sound like stress.
And they're like, no, it's not.
So like, then they fixed it.
And now I don't, now I hopefully don't get esophageal cancer.
Hopefully we'll find out, right?
Yeah, no, it's bad, scary as shit.
At least you got a step farther, yeah.
Wait time to see the doctors in the US
have to go, but it is insane.
It is, it is.
And it's because a lot of people left medical practice.
A lot of people have.
Yeah, it's like really not good.
Funny, really weird that only, what is this?
I know you're talking about creeper learn. I never even thought about that. Yeah, it's weird
Oh, wait, you just saw my shirt and it's cursed
What's the problem man, it's about togetherness it's about a permanent bond
Friendship forever
Oh, yeah, I'm crap maxing
And who the hell was that oh
Count chick my man. Yes another lab
It's about Edward
Kuntos Stormy said good morning Mr. Thor, lord of the goblins and protector of ferrets.
Good morning. Did you see that complexity? The company that the greens, John and Hank,
that run things like SciShow went non-profit. Very cool and exciting.
That's interesting. That's really interesting actually.
Yeah, we decided never to go non-profit with our rescue and your stuff because
as far as I understand you have to have a board and then there's like a whole bunch of other
that you have to do with reporting and everything like that. And it just, it would have turned
into a mess. And we don't want that to be a mess. Yeah, it's just a bad idea. Also,
there's the other thing where I'm a streamer, and I didn't want people to think I was taking
money from my left hand and putting it in my right hand to take a tax break, even though
it's technically not how it works. I didn't want to deal with that. And because I just
think that that's unnecessary, right? The focus should be on animal healthcare, not
on like money management shit.
It's just dumb.
So, you having a board is bad?
Yeah, I don't really want a board.
I'm cool with not having that.
You see that Nina would be four in the series,
which takes place in 1914.
If you check what Chinese zodiac was born under,
if you go back four years,
What would you see? I bet it's a year of the dog.
I bet it's a year of the dog.
Bet it is.
Yeah, I bet it is.
What I'm a more PGD think is, is worth investing time into right now.
Probably Final Fantasy 14 and Guild Wars two.
Those are the two big ones to make right now.
And that's about it. Yeah.
The completionists left a bad taste for nonprofits. I don't even think it's that. It's that
I am aware of the position that you guys have all granted me, right?
Like there's you, you have made me a large streamer on the internet. I don't want
that position to sully the work that we're doing for animal care. So because of that,
I didn't make it into a nonprofit because it doesn't make any sense to, right?
On top of that, we'd have to deal with a board, which means that there are other people that can choose the direction or non-direction of the way that we're doing care.
And we've watched that play out with other rescues. We've watched it, and it's really not great.
Because everyone's while you get a rescue, the board is fine, but then other ones you'll get a rescue where like one member of the board is very business driven instead of animal healthcare driven.
And they try to tighten the books and it leads to pain points for the actual, you know, the treatment of the animals, which is the opposite of what that should be.
Right. And I just don't want to ever have the risk of possibility of that. Ever. Right. I just don't want that at all.
And I don't want to deal with claims that like I'm taking money from my left hand and putting in my right hand for it for a tax break because I know people talk about that shit.
about that shit. And it's just not fair. It doesn't make any sense.
And it all detracts from what we're trying to do,
which is run a fairer rescue, you know? Yeah. Yeah. No,
exactly. I don't want any boards. Look what happened to ashes.
I don't want that shit. Yeah. So like that's,
that's kind of what I'm, I'm feeling about it. And like, I've,
I've always felt that way. So I just, I just kept it this way. Yeah.
I don't want any rumor mill shit for no reason. So like instead of that,
We just did it as part of the business and then did, um,
ad revenue from that channel just goes directly for the rescue funds.
That's it. I just have a second bank account set up for it.
I'm just running through that.
Someone say something about boards. Is that plank dude?
Did you actually have like a plank? Oh my God. It's a smug plank.
That's insane. That is insane. Yeah.
Oh, you know, I keep saying it's not a charity.
I think that's the thing that I've said a lot,
which is quite funny. Cause people are like, he said it's a charity.
I was like, no, we've never said that. It's not a charity, not a charity.
You watch ads, the ad revenue goes to the animals and we take care of them.
And that's not a charity. It's a very different thing.
His name is a hubris planky Mcplank face. Nice. It's got a lot of hubris. Good.
Look at the other emotes from that streamer. Is it weird?
It doesn't get really weird. Yeah. It's insane, dude. It's completely wild.
Not a cherry, not a cherry, no, no.
As he flies to coast close to the campfire, he does.
He said, people are dumb, they can be.
I think, I think sometimes people want to be dumb, which is fair, I get that, right?
This blank face, have hand to blank with?
Can you, I think blanking was a really weird time on the internet and I hope it never returns.
I really hope it never returns.
That was such a weird time on the internet
where people were like in the strangest locations
and they would plank on it.
It helps your court.
Dude, it doesn't help your core
when you're on like the backstop
of a freaking basketball court 15 feet up in the air
planking on the hoop, dude.
Like is that helping your core?
Like we're talking about the meme
where like people would just do it in places
that were dangerous.
Yeah, but that's the best there best part. No, dude. No
There was such a peaceful time though. No, wasn't people died
They did people actually unironically died
Planking because they would do it a stupid place and then fall off and die
Yeah
Planking died so we could eat type 1s. I swear to God
If you're dumb enough to eat a Tide Pod, like, I don't even know what to say to you at that point, man.
That shit's insane. That's insane. Like, what is wrong with you?
And people did, man. They did. Blows me away.
actually blows me away so big ushers don't call it that dude oh my god I can't
believe we have to tell people not to eat time pods dude believe it man if not
eatable why so colorful what does that mean dude what is what does that mean
What do you mean if not eatable why so colorful color doesn't mean eat nature uses color to tell you about danger
and then we made skittles you know maybe we screwed that one up to be honest never mind yeah maybe you're right yeah yeah I think we messed that one up
Oops. M&Ms came first.
Grim. You tell people to taste the rainbow and then they do and then you get mad at them.
Yeah. Not the best. Not the best.
Slushberry games with $5 said bad news. I got stuck 500 miles from home due to maintenance
on my truck. Good news. I have all day to watch you, the Olympics and work on my game.
the sevens going around.
Are we having the Olympics right now?
Is it true?
I feel like, I feel like the Olympics are just gonna be political drama this
year. I feel like there's no way out of that turning into political drama
instead of cool sports and I think that sucks. Aren't they always not really?
Sometimes they're just like angst between countries and everybody trying to do
good and celebrating fitness and celebrating like achievement and then
other times they're like politics and drama, right? Like that's,
that's kind of what it is. And I'm betting it's going to turn out
that way. I'm betting it will this year. Yeah, it's just gonna
be, it's kind of sad too. Because like those people train their
whole lives for this, you know, you're not interested in the
Olympics this year, I'm kind of not either. Right. I'm also, I'm
gonna be honest, I'm usually not interested in the winter
Olympics. I'm usually not. I, I'm just going to say it.
Curling is boring. I know it's like a really intense, you
know, using a broom, shit, whatever. I just, I just can't
dude. Curling is really boring. Curling is really boring, dude.
No, I can't. I can't agree. It's just tell me, tell me I'm wrong.
Tell me I'm wrong without sounding Canadian.
curling's boring, dude.
The only thing that I get out of curling is like, wow, that guy's really sweeping fast.
That's it. That's all I get out of it, dude. It's just so, I just don't care. I just don't
care. Launders and ice a little bit. It's bowling and ice, but man, it's really boring.
It's, it's a sweeping competition. It is. I just can't, I can't find any enjoyment in it.
You're wrong. Okay. Okay. No, I can't find any enjoyment in it. It's chess and ice. No,
I ain't chess and ice dude that that used chess pieces. It's
It's not
It's shuffleboard kind of a little bit. Yeah
This is not break dancing fair the break dancing thing was in me. That was hilarious
Yeah, it's cornhole. It's cornhole on ice. It is you're not wrong. It's more cornhole than anything else, but no holes
Yeah, like for me, dude, I'd rather watch
I'd rather watch football when I mean football. I mean soccer American American soccer everyone else football
I don't watch that and the reason why I like watching that isn't just because of the sport
Like the World Cup. It's not just because that it's because of the announcers, man
Like I like watching the announcers just losing their shit
Just at like doing yeah doing flips and shit screaming like they just the the you know
Six minute long guy screaming goal. Like I love that. That shit's rad, man. But then you compare that to like
curling
Just I just can't I just can't
Yeah, they're like climbing over each other screaming and sweating and their eyes are going wild, right?
Like that's what I want to watch a sport that's like that and that's soccer, man. Yeah, it's like watching golf
I can't watch golf either. I think golf is
Golf is boring. Brazil is insane with football if they are. Brazil is awesome to watch. If
Brazil is playing football, man, you're watching because that shit's awesome. Yeah. Maybe the
announcers are the problem then. So you want to have over the top Brazilian football announcers
for curling. Honestly, I'd watch it then. I'm going to, I concede that. Yeah. I could watch
anything if you had a Brazilian football announcer announcing it.
I think anything is more entertaining with a Brazilian football
announcing. Yeah.
They just scream sweep or curl or something like, yeah, yeah, dude, I'm down.
I'd watch that shit. That makes it way more entertaining, but on its own,
it's really boring. It's really, it's like really, really boring.
curling is really boring and I can't handle it. I could do anything else.
Getting all this strength exp. Yes glorious. 860 experience each time.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Make the game big, no.
It sits up there like subway surfers. Trapping your mind in its crab slapping glory.
Yeah, go sports. I don't actually like sports most of them, but I will tell you I do like watching football
I like watching the world cup. That's fun. I find that to be really cool
And I mean, I mean football where you kick a ball with your foot
Not hand egg where you catch an egg shaped ball with your hands. That's a different thing. Yeah, the superb owl is tomorrow. That's true
You don't watch sports. Well, I don't really watch sports. Well either
I'm probably gonna eat chips and salsa tomorrow
And you know what I'm gonna do while doing it?
Hopefully watch some sumo wrestling.
Cause I don't care about the super battle,
to be honest with you.
I just don't.
I'm gonna watch some sumo.
I'm gonna sit down at my desk.
I'm gonna slink all the way down like a slug,
bowl of chips, salsa, and I'm gonna watch midnight sumo.
It's a good day.
Yeah.
You know, football is called that
because it played on your feet,
as opposed to on horseback.
It's hand egg, it's hand egg, it's super bell.
I just want to watch sumo then.
I watch sumo and I watch the world cup and that's basically all I do.
Rugby is legit awesome.
Rugby is like if you did American football but didn't care about concussions and that's
wild.
That's like that is, that is crazy to watch. That is a lot of, a lot of insane shit damage
going on there. Yeah. It's completely wild to see. Handicke is much cooler than it is.
It's handy, dude. Handicke is great. Handicke is fantastic. Rugby, but having teeth no
no longer matters. I mean, they're kind of like armor for your
mental things at that point. You know, you know, do you have a
favorite sumo or a sir? I do not. No, I don't actually have a
favorite sumo or a sir. I just like watching the sport. I think
it's cool as hell. Those guys are strong as shit. They're
incredibly powerful human beings that is terrifying. A lot of
people don't realize that they think they're just fat or
something like that. But that dude is that dude is nearly 100%
Like they're, they're all like that. You know? Yeah. Don't these buns have religious significance?
What, what are you sending me to? Bro, what Doritos? You know, it's really cool. A lot of people are calling out their favorite
Sumo wrestlers. Hell yeah. I'm so glad there's so many of you guys watching Sumo now, man. Cause I talk about this a lot.
Like I talk about like go watch, go watch, go watch midnight Sumo dude. Go do it. Go do it. Watch midnight Sumo.
I remember playing rugby back in secondary school. It was rough with fun as hell. Yeah,
that's super red. You clicked band before, before you did and it credit you. No, it didn't.
You weren't as fast as me. And the best part about it, Jay, because I got to carry like
on the conversation while doing it. And you know what the best part is? I'm not even
running extra tooling. I just clicked his name. Your fate wrecked, wrecked proof.
Nope, wrecked dude. It's over. It's over. We call that a ping issue. Get on, nerd.
Jake got owned by bad pinged in washed. Yeah.
It's what Jake gets for being French.
I don't think Jake is French.
I think that's false.
Little Ham is French.
Tomato soup defy gravity?
The hell is this?
I don't like that.
No, I don't, I don't like that.
That's not great.
I don't wanna look at that anymore.
It freaks me out.
Images AI could never recreate.
I mean, it totally could.
Little Ham is fake too.
Jake, what if?
And I know this might be surprising.
Jake, what if you're the one who's fake?
I mean, I don't want to assume, but like, you're the only real one here.
Everyone else is a robot.
It finally makes sense.
Remember guys, Jake's not the fake one.
It's everybody else.
Yeah, every other person.
Yeah.
Jake's actually Thor's Java Sona? Okay. That's probably true. Yeah. Do you have extra
jakes like extra chrono? I do. Yeah. I do. He doesn't know that though. What's a Java
Sona and how do I not be that? It's too late, man. Yeah. When you die, this world will cease
to exist. Yes. True. You switched to rust. No, not like this. Jake, if you're not fake,
What is your name, Rhyme, with fake?
I'm just saying.
It also rhymes with cake?
Does that mean your food?
Yes, it also means you're fake because there's so many different game shows where you have
to choose if the item is cake or not.
proving that it is a fake all comes back together dude you're fake fake and cake
bacon cake the cake is a lie dude cake is a lie jacos cake yep this is how
conspiracy start this is the kind of thinking you need to have if you want
make your own conspiracy. This is what you need. You need that kind of determination,
dude. And that kind of like, it's all coming together, right? Build a conspiracy. This is
it. You outing me for being a cake homunculus? Yeah, dude, 100%. He's talking facts, Jake.
You're going to have to the man is cake.
Ah, this guy thinks cake is real.
And there you go.
Win on the ads.
Have you seen the actual little squad?
No.
Build a bear for conspiracies with the growth industry malls need for the current
and
that's going to get real strange
and is here to take over all
Jake's disappeared
little ham we found out that Jake is made of a cake
and now he's running away
Yep.
Jake is a fake no-bake cake.
It all makes sense.
Keep adding to it.
If Jake is made of cake, that means he's made of bread.
Not true.
American bread is classified as cake,
because it's not bread.
Cake is not bread.
The Jake is alive.
True, true.
Yeah, the Jake is alighted American bread is what cake
Go to your loaf of bread right now read the ingredients and you will find that it is using one to two grams of sugar
or slice
American bread is cake
Capcom is tired of us and is releasing the T-Virus? Good, finally.
Oh, thank god.
Good.
That's great. Yeah, release that.
Just release it.
It's time.
I'm ready.
The smoga though?
Bet's on how long it takes before somebody drinks it.
How long?
I say minutes.
The moment it ships, someone's drinking that even in transit.
Already happened? God.
Free will is a hell of a thing, isn't it?
the
I need to run, all the way down here and turn in all my gems.
I
deposit inventory. No, what? What's wrong? All right, there we go. Pop that down there.
Now we can go back up. All those gyms. Have you been to the south in Hildever's? I haven't
I've played Hell Leveries in a minute, dude.
Is it good now?
Isn't a good spot.
Gems are XP loss.
They are actually XP loss, but they're also like item gain, so I don't care.
I'm fine with that XP loss.
Some XP loss is okay.
It depends.
Right?
Just a lot of bots.
Are they really strong?
Hulkamaniom?
Hmm.
They added the tank.
I heard about that.
There's an actual melee build now.
I heard about the hammer.
I saw the hammer.
Like the hammer was cool.
Not a true old-school Ridscape player, you said EXP lost is fine.
It makes more EXP in the future because I'm giving those gems and trading them over to
Zafroth who then turns them into items that will buff me later, which is a requirement
for the things that I want to do.
You take the hit now to get better gains in the future.
Overall, increase in EXP.
You're diving right now?
Is it fun?
How is it doing? Let's go look.
Helldivers.
Boop.
All right.
Cool. It's doing good. 87% lately. That's not bad.
Let's go to Helldivers 2, SteamDB.
Let's go check this out.
97,000 in game. Bro.
Oh, they're doing really good.
Wow, so that means the changes they've been doing have been really fantastic.
That's great to see.
And a rarity.
That's a really rare thing to see.
Like a really rare thing.
Good.
Good work.
I'm really glad that that Sony dropped their bullshit, dude.
That was the thing I was so happy about.
Marching in Cyprus then, is that actually the thing
that we're doing right now?
Is that like, what's the, is there a place
to see the world map right now, like an online one?
It's the biggest discount ever on steam right now.
Is it?
Tell us the cost.
Yo, 25% off is huge.
When democracy, why not now?
Let's see what I got.
Helldiverscompanion.com, let me see what we got.
Love it.
That's really cool.
That looks great.
That looks really good.
These are the ones that we're pushing right now.
Is there the full overworld map?
Is there a full overworld map anywhere?
Y'all must say 100,000 reviews, yeah.
Is it this?
That might be it.
Ah-ha, what a cool website, man.
No, that's really a good website.
Okay, okay, that's not cool.
They're very close.
I don't like that.
What the hell is that shit going on up there?
Didn't one of these get, yeah,
that one got turned into a black hole, right?
Yeah.
Why is there a giant fart going on up there?
What happened up here?
Why is it fart maxing?
The illuminate came through that?
Yeah.
Is this all of our targets right now?
Oh, there's a lot of targets going on.
Oh, this is rough, dude.
None of those are good percentages.
What is the, what is the whole force pushing on currently?
That's not even a good percent.
just the bot planets. Yeah, I mean, like that's not a good amount of percentage though. Yeah.
None of these seem to be in a good spot. That one. Okay. Okay, we're getting 2.5% per hour.
2% per hour. That's pretty good. Nice. We're winning that one. I love this companion app.
This is cool, man. Yeah. Overviews the top rate of the current
mission. This is a really cool, like a really cool website. No, I dig this. Who made this?
Is this put out by them or somebody else?
There's a narrative campaign to take Cyberstan.
Is that what it is?
We'll have to take it.
All right.
They shaped the charge hammers now.
I know I saw the shape charge hammers.
The newest major order destroy Cyberstan,
the cyborgs are back.
And they are the masterminds behind the bots.
Okay.
I've seen Project Oregon, I have, yeah.
Are the other factions playable now?
Are other factions?
That sounds like heresy, brother.
What do you mean other factions?
What do you mean other factions, brother?
There is but one faction, the human faction.
What's the hell did I ever kill an action counter?
Is it crazy?
We're at LibCon 2.
What?
That's funny.
That's funny. Limcon 2.
Lower left.
Accidents.
Hilarious.
Helldivers killed in action.
Nobody gets killed in action.
Helldivers never died, dude.
Dead illuminate.
Killed to death ratio.
55 kills to one death.
Hits to shot ratio.
Wait.
1.08 hits.
to one shot. That's a horrible, horrible ratio. That's pretty bad. That's
unironically pretty bad. You hit 1.08, right? Jesus. Yeah, just use more
bullet, exactly. This means we need more ammo. Yeah, I guess that's true. That means
Is it like, a lot of these are AoEs, but those AoEs are like such a small amount because
people are missing so often.
Yeah.
Yeah, it means more than one enemy per shot, but like, only 1.08 means that you're missing
so much hit and then hitting with a bomb.
So bombs hit like 10 dudes at once or more.
Yeah, orbitals, exactly.
I need to fix my hand reflexes again to play this shit.
completed 91.2%. 91.2% completion rate. That's kind of sick. That's really sick actually.
So where is where is cyber stand? Is it even in here? Where are we pushing to? Where is
the main objective? Is that another black hole? Are they too many two black holes?
Yeah, I don't actually know where it is, just missed it.
It's not Lasseth, is it?
Oh, it's all the way up here.
So, we got to push through, take Lasseth, which is getting reinforced by Menkid.
And then, after pushing through that, go up through Short Bay and take Chew.
then take Merrick or can we take Merrick directly? I think we're trying to take Aurora Bay right
now. If you cut off their back line, they'll get less reinforcements. Like the reinforcement
thing is the problem. So if you have people go and hit Menkent, they can stop those reinforcements
from reinforcing Wasath, which is sort of the way that we did it before. We own Short Bay,
do we? Oh, we do. Yeah, you're right. So like Menkent right there is the one that's reinforcing
What's that which is probably why that's a 2% an hour because they're getting more reinforcements
They're getting more more stuff. What is this 30?
And I think I've seen that before
Yeah, I don't know that is
That's not an exaggerated number for what what's not an exaggerated number the number of kills. Oh, no, that's not exaggerated at all
Threat level we have threat levels now. Is that a thing? When did that start?
held ever bear is still here. The teddy bear. Hell yeah.
This game is how I thought Eve was as a little kid. That's funny.
We got issues holding warpath.
I think the most important thing right now is take Lissette while hitting menkin
at the same time to reduce the overall reinforcement numbers on the set,
because that's just going to make Lissette take super long.
It looks like Aurora Bay is not getting reinforced though like at all. What is this thing?
Yeah, cuz we're winning that
Or were we no no that's getting on now look at that
Yeah, everybody's just pushing the Seth I think we should push Minkin to cut it off
That is the democracy space station, the DSS. What does the DSS do? There's so many new things
that have been added. We try the Rockstar language for fun now. If we don't hold LaSath,
we lose our access to the warfront. Yeah, the thing that I'm wondering about is if we push
Mankin at the same time as LaSath, does that reduce the overall income on LaSath from this
planet because they're reinforcing from it. Right? So like, we, if we stop MENCAN, it'll
stop the reinforcement because we saw that in the past, if you get it off. But I think
you have to fully take MENCAN to stop it. Right? You have to fully take it to stop the
reinforcement, don't you? Not like a partial. Yeah, you need to full liberate. Okay, then
Lisseth is the only thing that matters. At that point, Lisseth is the only thing that
right 2.6% per hour yeah you know what let's do it let's go hell dive we haven't
done that in ages man it's held every time it's held every time and play that
super long I think that's cool the the one thing that always got me about
hell there is the thing that's super fun to me is this the ongoing battlefront
the collective will of all the players is what makes this game cool.
Yeah, this is, this is what makes the game cool out of everything.
If they didn't have this, it wouldn't be interesting to me.
I dive, but I'm waiting for lasagna to be done.
How could you not have lasagna for democracy?
What happened to you?
What happened?
Let me actually see what the message is on the stream.
I haven't played this in ages, man.
I have to get used to it again.
Helldivers 2.
Oh, super Earth.
There we go.
Rockin'.
Yeah, I haven't played this in...
Wait.
What is the basis?
Did that not go to the- oh, oh, oh!
Hell yeah!
Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. Close comparison to that, it's kind of hungry.
Let's grab this. Put it over there. So we can handle that on that. The cyborgs are still
on our plans for our space station, aka our Death Star. We have to get the cyborgs stand
before they build it. Bro, if they build the Death Star, we're going to lose Earth. I mean,
Super Earth. Definitely not the same thing. Which is, that's like end game, right? Like,
we lose. It's over. What happens if they blow up Earth? Super Earth. I don't know. I don't know
what happens to that point. It's over, dude. We can't allow this. We get a new Super Earth. I don't
think that's how that works. Crazy, you just launched a lever's new in playing so long. Yeah,
I mean, like it's it's doing good. It looks funny shit. I think they've done a really good job
And I'm glad that sony back down with their dumb bullshit
That was the biggest thing about it and I said at the time I was like, I'm never playing this game again until you undo this
And it took them a year and then they undid it and I was like, all right, we're playing it again
Because like that's that's all I wanted. You know, that was my line of the sand for that shit
That's what canonically happened and held every one
every time you lose
Is it really
Sounds grim.
And that was...
A Sath. I am already there!
Oh wait, no I'm not.
Can we join you? Yeah!
Major order completed.
Oh dear god, dear god!
I'm level 105, I am a hell commander.
For Demacia, you mean democracy, goddammit.
The second one, not the first.
Please check out GameSize on Steam, it's been 1500 gigs.
What?
I think they reduced it, that was the thing that they fixed, yeah?
Did they ever make chest armor butter?
Yeah, the servo assist on this one.
The electrical conduit is huge.
Yeah, it looks like they rebalanced armor in a way that feels good.
Cool.
This one is busted good.
That armor padding is kinda huge.
Um, like really huge actually.
Cause you get a hundred armor, but this one gives 30% more throwing range and 50% more limb health.
Which is huge.
Are you trying to melee only build?
No, no, no, no.
I, um, I'm a scout and I throw grenades.
And I use a Tesla pack.
So I'm a commando.
I have a blast of it.
Brawny and lead. Cool. Seeing all the new stuff that they added. The gun I
normally use is the scorcher. Is that any good anymore? The scorcher on the
side for the two that I use. When we're fighting bots this thing was broken
before. I don't know if that's still good. Any anti-tank weapons? Still good? The
scorcher's good? Okay good. Second there I was using the grenade pistol. That thing
was busted. That felt really good. Is that so good? They have stealth weapons.
What about the plasma pistol? Is the dagger any good? Because that was really bad at the
time. It was good against, um, not the tyrannids, but the robot, the bugs. It's good against
bugs. Need the pocket rocket? Still no game in my region. Really? What region are you in
that they didn't they didn't put it up because they fixed it. They had an entire stealth
warbond with C4. Okay, that's kind of cool. The beam lasers are better than the dagger
almond for the offhand. I use the grenade pistol usually, and I use the high explosive
grenade, even though I didn't send air impact. Yeah, serious and pirate stuff are also dive
to the birth. I used to play this a lot. Like we were the largest community in the world
playing it. And then, uh, so he banned it sale in like two thirds of the world.
And I went, I'm done. I'm not playing this to you. Fix it.
And it took him a year and then they fixed it and they undid their decision.
I was like, cool, you like money again.
It was like the weirdest thing I've ever seen a company do.
And it took him a whole year to figure out, Hey,
if we don't sell the game in two thirds of the world, it makes less money.
Just like it was just sort of a mess to watch, man.
How many deaths have I had?
1,400.
But 41,000 kills.
I've killed...
I feel like...
I feel like at least half of those were Sea Dog.
Online mines.
I feel like that's at least half of that number.
Or my friendly kills.
Pretty sure.
Just about.
Maybe all in one match, too.
To be honest.
Oh, hi.
It's Phil Wittz and GoldenEyeC.
That's disgusting.
That's disgusting. How dare you? How dare you?
Got all the dispatches. What are the upgrades that we have here?
I'm going to clip of you shooting crime and blaming the bots. I've done that so many times.
I was like, oh man, the bots got you. That sucks.
You shoot him in the leg? Oh, that's unfortunate. What happened to you right there?
Killing your own teammates in Helldivers is peak.
That is the best way to be. It's hilarious. Oh my god. What is that shit? That's the new tank
741 second cooldown time ridiculous
Dog breath. Oh, this is the robot that kills you with its own poison gas
It's the best
The sterilizer I never ended up getting this
Liquify sensitive electronics and tissues. Is this really good against bots at all?
Is that any good? It's not as bad about it, dude. I don't use any of the robots because
they just kill you. It's not good against it. Alright. Directional shield. Flame sentry seems
cool. It's zombies. Anti tank emplacement is disgustingly good. I love that thing,
But you got to pilot the damn thing
Portable hellbomb
Feel like you're strapped that to somebody on the team and send them on you know
Ever play Starship troopers I did I did play it for a little while. It was actually not bad at all
That game was not bad. The movie was phenomenal though
the one true flag
Hell yes hell hell yeah
What is the canine? Oh, they have a lightning dog now. No shit. That's cool, man. I actually
really like that. Ark dog seems really cool. Because you could have an Ark gun and an Ark
dog at the same time. Yeah. The Ark dog's a trap. Good. Not a trap. You could be the
one using it and messes up your teammates I feel like maybe that's a skill
issue maybe the de-escalator I just love lighting weapons dude laser sentry is
cool I've never seen that one deployed they've added a bunch of oh that's some
heresy. No. That's some Xeno shit. What is that? What do you mean warp pack? No. He blew
himself up. Hilarious.
What is that?
A plasma of the fires one blast at a time each blast exploding impact must be charged
the fire warning do not overcharge.
Okay.
Heavy armor penetrating. No shit.
Okay. Yeah, heavy armor. Can you warp in front of your unprojecto?
What a guess. Yeah. One singular powerful missile. Weird.
Expendable napalm. I actually really like that. That's cool.
The spear gun. They've had it so...
Big Dacca.
Big, Big Dacca.
Big Dacca.
Defoliation tool? What is that?
What?
It's just a chainsaw.
A hot dog.
Very nice.
C4Pack? Okay, so this is really interesting to make.
You don't have to get it into... oh that's a big deal. I actually really want to
unlock that. That's over acquisitions, we'll get that. That's very strong. It's got
six on it. I really like that. Does it fire off all six charges at once though?
So you have to deploy all six so you blow yourself up?
Cause I feel like... no? Okay. Cause I was like, he's got red lights on his back.
Old new deployed ones. Okay. I love that.
Ahhhh! Bonk! That's a good bonk.
That's a pretty good bug, I have to say.
The leveler.
Single use weapon firing high yield missile discarded after every use.
Okay.
Belt fed grenade launcher.
Jesus Christ.
Okay, so the C4 pack is the one that I'm most interested in.
Over anything else?
If I go and look at this, I've got 465 of that.
I don't have enough yet.
I think I've finished all of my other ones that I was doing.
Democratic Dent Nation and Cutting Edge.
I think I've finished these.
Yeah, I finished these completely, yeah?
I spent 2,015 medals on this one.
Done.
C4 is in redacted regiment.
Masters of ceremony, servants of freedom, urban legends, truth and force. There's a lot in here.
There's a lot. It's a siege breaker one too. Redacted regiment. Redacted regiment.
I got a lot of content to burn through, man.
There it is.
So I'll have to pick this one up. It'll cost a thousand only at 4.65, so I have to keep doing stuff.
Oh, but there's new shit in here.
We can change out the shuttle now, that's cool, help on, man's better suit, makes a suit.
Cool.
Ship modules.
Oh.
Eight-week crew training course and spear packing methodology, resulting in increased
supply box capacity.
Really?
Okay, so there's new shit in here too.
High density explosives increases the damage radius and explosion caused by orbital stratagems
by 10%.
They've added a lot to this.
Now they've added a lot, a lot to this.
All support weapon stratagems launch immediately once called in, reducing overall deployment
time.
That's huge.
Yeah.
No, that's sick.
All right, let's go get some stuff then.
He's lost his mind, check.
That's probably for the first.
He's finally snapped. I mean, good at times, Annie.
Let's go.
Okay, I need... We're gonna run the adds first, and then we'll go.
I love me Rail Cannon.
I love me an Eagle.
I need...
Shield Generator.
And I need...
Heartthrower.
And I'll run...
Surge? Yeah, using the lightning feels really good against them.
I like fighting them with that.
I like fighting bots with lightning. It's fun.
Oh, do you like fighting 30 Hawks at once? I'm ready.
30 Hawks per reinforcement drop.
Yeah, basis is diving as well.
Daily defecation said what's your take on parasocial relationships between certain type
of viewers and twitch streamers.
I think that telling a complete stranger on the internet, the streamer, things that you
would usually only share with friends or family is at least worrying.
And I believe I see it more often than in the past.
Positive response to these messages is of course positive, but isn't it also making
things worse if you know what I mean.
It depends. It's okay to share your troubles and woes and get some feedback from somebody
else that's not in the same situation as you and don't have the biases of those around
you, right? That's pretty normal human behavior. When it starts to get weird is when people
start to fantasize a relationship or something beyond that interaction. And that does happen.
People will be very strange about it. That's when you gotta cut it off. So I think that's
very different, if that makes sense. And like, that's all. Yeah.
Are you proud? God damn it, dude.
Into the pits.
Did we just go through another ship there?
Was there a big update?
Super Earth.
Is my muscle memory working?
No.
Yes, kind of.
Okay.
Got it.
Muscle memory's still there.
I'm clashing in there, it's weaponry!
Long.
Alright, those are good guys. Whatever.
Alright, what do we got?
Calling in orbital strike!
Requesting air support!
Eat it!
It's beautiful!
of that so
why there's so many of them check
Good.
Oh dear god.
Why can't I run?
Game please.
It's not letting me run.
It wasn't letting me run at all.
I was still jogging for some reason.
I kept hitting the button and wasn't doing it.
I was like, alright.
No stamina.
Oh, did they get more aggressive about stamina?
Did they?
No, it's still not letting me do it.
What the hell is going on?
I don't have a stamina problem now, it's not letting me run.
Now it's working. I had to dive on the ground to fix it. Super weird.
To the north.
Mowing down supplies!
Reinforcing!
Two seconds.
Requesting orbital strike.
Yeah!
Good.
Nope.
I'm getting a hellbomb in.
Armored it.
No!
Worth!
I need to check my keybinds, cause something's wrong with my run.
Madison Keyboard.
Where is my...
No...
Where's the button for this?
Gameplay...
Do we know where this is?
Cause it should be under Madison Keyboard.
Change bindings, there it is.
Sprint.
Tap.
Yeah, that should just be tap.
It's trying to do it as double tap. So I'm gonna change it to double tap and then change it back to tap
There we go now it's working. I was like what the hell is going on here?
Go go go go go
Oh, you're good, kid.
We'll get him.
The hammer thorns, the hammer, you must do it.
I got it.
Boop.
The pushing air support!
Boop!
Team Reload required!
Oh, I got turned into a meatloaf. Meatloaf. Tank would explode, yeah.
You got to just redrop ships. Shoot first, you're gonna have to do the hulks of crazy action.
Nice.
What?
Oh, you're a good guy. Don't worry about it. I'll attack you.
It's fine. It's fine.
I'm gonna go this way.
This is my favorite.
I said within range, but that's a miracle strategy available.
Serpentine.
Objective critical strategy available.
Always live, never die.
All right, more.
Go the right way.
Objective critical strategy available.
Subnurse.
Hey, select.
Worth.
Obviously worth.
Almost there.
Whose blood is that?
Definitely not mine.
Nobody makes me read mine.
survive man why you got to do me like that
I don't think it's going to do it, but it's going to try.
should not do it. That one's done. Oh, good double. Worth. Yeah, it's one drop sheet
Yeah, I'll tour the deck again.
Is that a drop ship?
What the hell is that?
Nice.
Not good.
of
the
one
Not great.
Spot out post spotted!
You guys spotting in chat, don't you do it?
They're all done, there's no way!
Never die!
Aw, crap.
It's Flippie's van, c'mon, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
That one's done.
Alright, that machine's down.
I'm out of stims.
I'm almost out of guns, but I've got more 500 kilogram bombs.
Ending at an eagle.
Perfect.
Oh nice, somebody's got a hellbomb going already.
Not good.
Yeah, it's not near me, but somebody's already calling it so I couldn't do it.
Let's get a global cooldown.
I've done it for 10,000 years, and it's dead.
30 seconds to the next boss.
He seems to have it on my request to join.
Dude, I can't handle it right now.
I'm in the middle of a win.
I got 15 seconds before I can do the next one.
that one is done. We got one more drop ship. I just don't know where it is. I think it
back over by the bottom over there. Yeah. Good. Let's get the hell out of here.
to walk in a lane, to the enemy artillery.
Whoop!
Standing in an eagle!
So many dudes!
There's too many dudes!
Somehow less dudes.
NOOOOOOO!
My bones
Finally an island
Finally did there's a good run. There's a good run. Oh good man
of
love this gun did
I need to go find that drop pod.
If you call it in the ship, I'm gonna go get the pod.
That'll be close. That'll be close for comfort there. That's fine.
Ow!
of
the hell is this thing.
Oh.
rare samples
so your vehicle is terrifying
the
That's a lot of dudes
Propellican man, man you damn fool
Are you able to walk while someone digs down there?
What the hell is that?
Like, how do you walk while saluting? Is that a bug? It's a lockstep emote? Again, that's kind of cool.
I've never seen that before. Yeah. Got an RFR? True. Yeah.
We got surveillance images from the surface of Cyberstand.
My God.
My God!
CyberStand's atmosphere has shown signs of great pollution.
Surveillance shows that on its surface, great factories have been constructed.
Enemy communications have been intercepted.
Critical intelligence on what awaits us in CyberStand has been secured.
We're made alert.
Further information will follow.
The Horrors!
The Horrors of CyberStand!
We're gonna leave a big ass factory there. We're gonna blow it up.
Blow it up.
Hellbomb for factory ratio. Trim.
Hey, uh, Phil Wittes, I, uh...
I think you've got a bunch of jam on you, bud.
That's a...
You should be careful eating those sandwiches.
That's a lot of jam.
That's a jam.
Look how many straight-ups you've seen.
Jesus.
Okay.
That's got a lot of jam.
Okay, the scorch did really well.
I really liked that.
was okay I guess grenade pistol is neat shield is good the lightning gun isn't
as good now it's cool but it's mostly cool because it pierces armor so I'm
trying to think of like one other stuff I want to do I said a lightning gun because
I used the lightning gun for so long man this isn't super required right now I
I may actually go extra patting, because doubling my armor is kind of nice.
Or maybe I can do this.
Marker's place in the map will generate radar scans every two seconds, reduces range in
which the enemy can detect the wearer by 30%.
That's a really nice combo.
50% resistance to gas, fire, acid, and electrical damage.
I have not seen this and that's a sick looking armor.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go full scout.
Yeah.
Yep.
Light gunner is tanky and fast as hell.
Is it?
If you're gonna keep using personal shield, rail gun would be fun.
Rail gun is really good.
I may actually swap to that.
Demolition man.
Demoman.
The helmet doesn't give stats still, right?
No, there's no helmet stats still.
I was wondering about that because like they had helmets like stats on here, but they just don't do anything.
They're all exactly the same.
The cape also does nothing.
But looks cool.
Yeah.
The laser support weapon works well for me on bot missions. Are you talking about...
Or is it? It might be over in this one.
You talking about like the big laser cannon? Or a bot?
I should probably use orbital laser. Orbital laser is really good.
The quasar? The quasar is really good.
I like the quasar it's on.
Yeah, if you're talking about Quasar, I'm down with that.
The Wasp Launcher is crazy. I've never used that before.
Is it even on this?
Yeah, the Railgun seems really good.
But it's not like this one fires a bullet and like runs out of bullets, I believe.
But the Quasar, the Quasar is just good.
Do you unlock the tank? I can.
I have not yet.
Yeah, this one. Is that the one you're talking about? Or it uses the cool down like coil
in it? You're talking about something else. Smoke works well for bots for giving cover.
That makes sense. I can see that. I thought they used infrared or some shit before though.
Because when we were on that one mission where they were in the trees, like it was just,
was over, you know. Not a cannon, but Quasar is good. It's a damn laser cannon. This is
actually good against bots. I thought the time to kill on this thing was really bad.
Did they change it? Yeah, I'm a leveling creek. That was the one. They buffed it, did they?
Okay. Way higher pen now. Oh, it's heavy armor penetrating now.
Yo.
Yo!
Heavy pen now. That was not that way before. It just bounced off of armor.
I'm gonna use that for now on. Good shout, dude.
Yeah, no, that's really cool. I'm down with that.
Aim for fenced heads? Yeah.
Eradicate the Autobot on Fortress.
Are you ready?
Yeah, I'm almost filled up on the requisition slots. I got a lot last mission.
Over here. Maybe over here.
I need my shield gen and I need my laser cannon and then we obviously need mines
clearly this is the right time the mines chat we love minds
know. Or actually, localization. That one is crazy. Every mission needs that. It's such
a big deal. It's in a warbond. Yeah, gotta get it unlocked. Laser century seems really
good. Like really goddamn good. And I need to try that.
I changed the name, but the folding is the same as a team we all rank 87 and continue to climb.
The risk I've earned just a few days before Christmas is healing good should be back to normal around June.
Have a great day everyone.
Why did you change the name too?
And what do you mean you changed the name?
Is your century's bad because it blows itself up?
Is it really?
They're waiting in the house.
The question
Going down the support with
Orbital inbound
Oh, I guess I killed the citizen so
I don't actually know how I killed that citizen.
Yo, this new one rocks!
Yo!
The new laser cannon's amazing!
Oh god damn it. He walked through the wall. Yeah. I didn't realize we were in the corner
and then he walked through the wall again. That is so many hoaxes dude. Oh my god. Look
Look at that line of hoax!
Hell.
Ow!
There's so many, dude.
There's so many of them.
I think a lazy kid.
Why did he run down there?
the food yeah it's like 5,000 hogs dude but we've destroyed we're at 92% already
because all the hogs
Oh
Make 50
That hurt
Oh, I missed
It's so bad it's so bad
and
get it
right
Yup!
Go, go, go!
Storcher might not be effective with the halts. It is if you shoot it in the back.
Because it's AoE does like a bunch of damage to them, but now, from the front, it's pretty very rich.
Yeah, it's not very good.
The laser's really nice, by the way. Like, I really actually like that, so I need to play around with it more.
Just not in low visibility like that.
On the ships, it felt great.
Like...
The ships, it felt very good.
The Senator can break the arm. He might be able to.
Yeah, Phil died on Extract. Not Democratic enough.
Obvious.
Got more samples though.
Got more samples in, so that's nice.
That was a lot of hoax. Yeah, no, it was an insane amount of hoax.
Hey!
The cyborgs have hacked into Super Earthcoms and they speak Swedish.
This game has DLCs.
Can I buy the base game and have access to all of it?
Yeah!
Yeah, I've only ever bought the base game.
I didn't pay any money into it.
I just played to get my super credits and then use those super credits to unlock stuff.
I've never once paid anything extra in the game.
Ever. I see you, Ludo. I see you being a robot.
I'm gonna let Hyke man in.
And I've got a lot of jam on my cloak, so they'll listen.
Yoink.
Neat.
Alright, so I got the tank now.
now. directional shield seems pretty cool. I actually think the portable hellbomb, the
portable hellbomb is probably the funniest thing to get. That's hilarious. The warp pectin.
Couldn't do that. I really want the c4 though. Like I super want the c4. And Heimdall really
Trans... Can Heimdall translate binary? No, but if you keep spamming binary at the time you have...
Because I can't read it.
Lots of said it's not too late. It's not too late on...
It's not too late on? What does that mean?
Resupply strategy boxes refill support weapons with maximum number of carryable charges.
need that. I just need a lot of common. That's the problem. I have a lot of rare. I don't
have really enough common at all. You can't read butter. What are you human? Obviously,
definitely not hiding my power in it. Yeah. I need to get atmospheric monitoring as well.
Like there's a lot of stuff I just have to unlock here. Eagle stratagems that drop multiple bombs will drop one additional bomb.
Oh, so we don't get two 500 kilograms. That sucks.
Lame. Yeah.
These 3.3k viewers better also be playing right now. You're goddamn right.
All support weapon stratagems launch immediately once golden. So this is the next one that I want to get, but the...
The cost of that for samples is enormous.
Centuries taking less damage from explosives.
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Vassaricon.
Let's fill out here freaking out again.
Yeah, medium armor pen, medium armor pen is there.
It's medium armor pen, light armor pen, light, medium, medium, medium, heavy armor pen.
I might swap to the eruptor, because that gun is sick, but it doesn't have very much capacity.
I mostly use this, the scorcher for chaff clear on this, because it's really nice for that.
maybe it doesn't really matter because like capacity on this is 20 shots
because I really just need to kill the baby ones like little tiny robots man
robots you know the horrible tiny man bots instead of the gigantic Hulk
bros yeah the eruptors aoe is it I said like how big of an aoe because this is
aoe as well the scythe was cool but it takes forever that was the biggest
problem of it is it takes way too long the SMGs do well against the smaller
bots I really like the scorcher because it one shots them on the smaller bots
Reflex site.
Yeah, there's no, there's no anything there. Um, the underbarrel is using a vertical.
Yeah.
There's not like anything interesting in here.
The attachments I was hoping for like more, like more ammo capacity or something like that, but I guess not.
We just changed the site up.
Use the hollow site.
All I see are hulks.
No, there's other bots.
We were killing other ones.
Incoming message from Super Earth.
Oh, shit.
Yep.
Destroy cyber stat.
All right.
Invasion level 30.
We own short.
This former planet is now nothing but a normal stable black hole.
How many planets have we destroyed that way?
Wait.
How is there one person there?
John Helldiver is there.
John Helldiver himself.
It's Joel, dude.
It is.
Fifty-one thousand in Aurora Bay, huh?
And fifty-two thousand in LaSath.
We gotta take LaSath.
LaSath's the most important.
Nice.
Do we go above Super Hell Dive now?
Can it go higher?
It seems like no.
Seems like there's no way to anymore.
Press B?
That's the democracy space station.
Eagle Storm.
Okay. DSS crews maintain deployment of 24-hour retreating fleet of Eagle fighters from the
massive three-tiered convocation bay, supporting all held-ever operations on the planet. Oh,
so you just turn in... you turn in donations of this. What does that actually do? Deploys
periodic Eagle airstrikes during missions just on its own? Actually, this might be the
way to win because it slows enemy progress in defense campaigns. So if we pop this, how
much does it slow it by? Do we know how much it does? Check out the other actions. Defense
campaigns cannot originate from this planet. Okay. It freezes the timer for 24 hours. Oh,
enormous you basically just win that is that does it freeze it anywhere or only
around its own planet like it would only do it around Aurora Bay
wait what am I voting
yeah I'm gonna
I'm going to vote here.
I'm using my vote.
Voted.
Yeah, I voted, didn't I?
I didn't know you could vote.
That's cool.
Democracy.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
That wasn't managed democracy, was it?
I just used real democracy.
I don't know about that.
I used a real vote.
Chat manager, you're true.
Saved.
What is this one?
Hulk surge?
Is it all Hulk surge right now?
Bro
That is deeply horrifying, isn't it?
What happens if we liberate a city?
I don't think I've seen this before.
You've got city on this one, you've got town on this one.
What happens there?
The planet is a Hulk, true.
Huge planet progress, so we want to basically take this.
I said he's a large boost. Do we know how much of a boost that is?
It can make or break. Interesting. To let go of him and to scream. I don't know. But
he shouldn't he shouldn't have this this power of this capability
hmm I think we're going with the laser you've convinced me on the laser gun
you have fully convinced me you think held evers could handle doom guy no doom
Doom guy's entire thing is that he absorbs the power of those he kills.
He's literally a chaos god.
In fact, for every demon that he kills, he would absorb the power of it, which means
if he ever killed a chaos god, none of the others would be able to kill him.
Doom guy would actually win Warhammer 40k.
You know that, right?
Yeah, he would actually win Warhammer 40k.
Yeah.
Because every demon that he kills he absorbs their power.
It's not even a lie, like that's what he does.
Yeah. Because he could kill one of the chaos gods.
I think he would have to kill porn first.
He would have to.
What if the Emperor is no longer?
After he comes back.
Oh, hello, friend.
Oh, super credits.
Feels good.
I
Not good
Oh come on shot the butt the butt shot dude the butt shot I thought that lazy
see we do more damage. That was wrong.
Double tap.
Hello.
Oh, we're way out here, aren't we?
Ah, rude.
worth
call it out, coach
stay calm
oh, come on
going for me
now we got a nice nothing, remember me
not good to learn
Wait a minute, she might not go in. I thought they went in.
How much harder do I look like I went in?
Jesus.
He threw his mind.
Is that thing not dead still?
right
there oh yeah we're just good
calling that supply
deploying with the package
any tactical asset we can't reach
i'm gonna do it
protective critical stravica available
calling in reinforces
Alright, I got a hellbomb coming in for their snug.
Run in the way!
my legs
hahahaha
you
worth
yeah I got back hit in midair dude
hahahaha
reporting to the front
That's not going to work, wait.
There we go.
Worth.
One more.
That one's done.
Oh!
That wasn't very nice, sir.
That wasn't very nice at all.
got that one, nice
no thank you
No, no, thank you.
Yeah, no, thank you.
I do believe I'm in a bad location.
I do believe this is a problem I remember when missile bros would just kill you like
no matter where you were and they were all oh my god it's all hoax I'm out of
It's so over.
What are you?
You're new.
I blew him up.
But I have no idea what that is.
I've never seen that thing before.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was weird, right?
I've never seen that one.
Alright, down this one.
I totally got meatloafed from that that was a really far one I have no idea how I get
They love their
That's crazy
That's who it is.
I
How is he there's something here I still show up
Yeah, it just lied to me. I don't know why.
Hello, friend.
I got stuck up there.
Oh yeah, you can rebind the strategy and pure arrows.
So I hold down the button and I do my arrow please.
Could be my strat.
Yeah.
I tried to dive, but it didn't work.
Who created that meta? What are you talking about? Who created what meta? You with the
arrow shot at him? Yup. Back in the day. And people were like, how the hell are you running
while doing that. They were freaking out. He's no one knew about it back then.
So like while I'm running, I can hold control with my pinky and then use my arrow keys in
my right hand.
I don't kill them, those are our dudes.
Or dookie.
It's the Pope allowed to hold that now?
Technically yes.
he's got a bunch of shit on the ground over here
there it is
nice
God, I love this thing.
It feels great dude.
On of the adds.
Jeff Heldiver is here.
coming in an eagle!
You're over me!
Help him out!
I'm here ya!
Going in orbital strike!
They are known to democracy!
Help us destroy!
You on it?
Some people still don't know that Sony walked back to the solution, yeah.
It took them a year, but they did it, finally, you know.
Ready to take a break!
Not great.
God dammit.
What decision to make the game not viable in two thirds of the world?
Get back out of it, finally.
You see the amount of hulks is insane, like I did not expect it to be that many.
Yeah, Arrowhead was like we can make money together or lose money together, you're moved, and like, Sony was really stupid about it.
And I stopped playing the game as a result of that, because we have an international community.
And like...
It took Sony a year to walk a jack, but it was...
Really stupid.
Like...
I'm glad that they un-did it. I'm really glad.
Yeah!
Hello, tic.
188 seconds, 30 seconds.
188 seconds, 20 seconds.
188 seconds, 10 seconds.
of
this
is
Oh, we got 14 commons, not bad.
Amazing.
Go, go, go!
Amazing.
Is it too late for you to get in the game?
No.
mission, it moves the global objective for everything. It is fantastic.
It's exactly the reason why I love this game and why I still do now is
everything you do is matter on a global basis. Yeah, and you can learn. I die on the time.
The first thing you have to get over, you're gonna die. Like a lot. You know,
but it's just gonna happen. You're gonna die constantly. And that's sort of the whole point.
That's the meme of it, right?
If you will die.
But you won't, because Hell Divers never.
Think like Warhammer 40k, but you have unlimited resources. And people.
And people are resources.
Yeah.
It's Battlefront Galactic Conquest, it's great. Yeah, yeah it is.
Yeah.
People are resources, yes.
The Imperium's biggest resource? Yes, people. It's true.
Scorcher leveled up.
I really like the scorcher on these missions. It started to feel really nice. Yeah, it's
HR simulator, dude. 100%. I'm level 105.
I think we blitzed it, yeah. It's just automaton fabricators. We've got 12 minutes to do it.
Hi, it's fine.
Just over at the Helldivers T.O.S. in this tutorial.
It's pretty funny, actually.
We'll just land on the escape pod and go from there.
Real cannon.
Probably do that.
I do like this laser cannon.
It has grown on me.
And I'm quite happy with it.
I'm always going to take localization confusion because if you don't take that, it's just
the amount of enemies overall.
You've got 12 minutes in this mission.
I know.
I know I've only got 12.
It's fine.
Running you like a fungus, you goddamn right.
You wouldn't buy a car, you bought a license to- what is this?
Mr. Deacon, what are you talking about?
What?
Aren't you working at your game?
I do.
I released an update two at eight days ago, man.
We should go check the steam page.
I wonder if they had a permit death mode at some point?
Mmmmm, that would not work.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah.
Yeah, monthly updates come out man.
Oh god! Oh we're jammed! Oh god! We got a jammer right over here.
This is bad. This is very bad.
I'm gonna try and take out the little pods on the suds.
Or not, I guess I'll just be locked out of the entire thing.
Aided!
Scorch, you're good!
What?
Freedom never sleeps!
Scorch, you're good. What?
Sick.
This Dark Rider is the most cinematic. I love them both.
I was going to throw the grenade on the ground.
Very funny dude.
This game looks so darn good, it's very fun.
Oh, brother. I believe... I believed.
So something to know is if you stim yourself by hitting V, you're basically immune to damage for the next like 10 seconds.
Yeah. Any chance for cross progression? You mean like PC and console? I have no idea.
I got no clue on that one, but sorry to say.
We really gotta take out that radio, man.
The jammer has to be done.
Are those guys standing on landlines?
Phenomenal.
He's coming, wait, Jamie?
No, no.
There we go.
Nope.
Shoot at the back!
There you go.
Ah shit
Yeah
Hope down
Where's the jammer terminal then we're gonna we're gonna activate it
Hell is that?
ATT
There we go
No, I
Missed
Everything's smooth.
Make it face the other way.
I'll be back.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Story strategy, Jack.
got him!
hell yeah
there you go
oh shit
he's harming the bomb
wrong
alright good
Melty.
I'm uploading data, gentlemen.
Ahead!
Confusting air support!
To the ramp now!
Ow!
Sending in an eagle!
Forward!
I got it!
I'm gonna leave it there.
Gotta keep moving.
I gotta keep moving.
Okay buddy.
That's not very nice.
That was not very nice.
That was a turret.
We got that one done.
We get extracts, we got this.
Or we can keep killing.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
There's more to blow up.
Extraction may be available, but the mission's not over.
It's another one.
Feels good.
I think we got two Hellbombs at the same time, which is hilarious.
I
Out
keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
we gotta go straight forward
Melty.
There's one more.
What?
Noooooooooooooo.
That one's down?
Aw shit.
Down to ground.
Alright, we gotta get out of here gentlemen. We don't have time.
Or do we?
Call it! I'm on my way!
If you get that hell bomb I'll get the Extract. I believe.
I'm going in extraction!
One minute left.
Disclined.
Statch on.
Must confirm.
You're settled and valid.
I got it.
Oh god.
Got him.
I
Shit well sat changed it
No!
This is bad.
You think we could have gotten here a little sooner, baby?
Ha ha ha ha!
I think we're forever, dude.
Holy shit!
The mission got completed, but we're all dead. Now we're dead, dude. Look at this thing, man.
Get in, get in, get in!
One escapes, one escapes!
Worth.
I was like God, dude, that's so many.
One is all you need, true, true.
It's a good time.
Hey, 30, what's up, dude?
The game's got a lot harder.
Just remember to not die in this up.
Oh yeah, no, the game has gotten a lot harder. It's fun though. It's like super fun.
You seen Updog? Have you? Have you seen Updog?
Rune and Underscore said I have found a worse onboarding experience than a lean, dangerous, stalled citizen.
Did my every two years check-in since 2014 and had to go to Reddit to figure out how to handle cargo after completing the tutorial.
Okay. Yeah, that's weird.
If you're having a good time in it, you're having a good time though, but if you're not, like, yeah, that sucks.
This thing is so good against killing Chaff in here. There's like no time that you have to do anything. It's just great feeling.
This thing is crazy though.
the purifier
they change the purifier
try the eruptor I actually really don't like the eruptor comparatively
it's because of the amount of shots that it has like the eruptor does 455 damage
but the scorcher is really good for killing a lot of dudes
It's got 20. It's got 20 shots, which is just really nice, you know?
Golemans's art said take the right side of the calculator and drag it out as slow as you can, and watch that misaligned spot by the 8.
It'll scramble and unscruggle itself.
It will actually scramble and unscruggle itself.
Wow.
Huh.
wild, wild response. I was just reading something. I kind of wonder how good this is now. I don't
the senator is really good I'm gonna swap the senator on my second there
throwable here is cool there might is so good when you can sticky it 2,000
damage just slaps let me some senator the senator is really nice man like it's
It feels very strong.
Yeah, the Thermite's cool, man. They one-shot hulks, they do. Yeah.
That much I knew. This is just...bust.
Daggard's last pistol was great. Headshots in through the ammo, complete mines. It used to be really bad when I first came out.
Like, you couldn't even kill bugs with it.
But it was super shitty. So I'm glad to hear that it's different now, you know?
and
bomb
shield gen
laser cannon
and localization
there might one shots most things, yeah no it's really good
can you land it on us? I wonder if you can one shot a ship with it
Phil's still coated in machine oil? yes
Definitely not blood not human oil at all couldn't be
Waiting for parts in your cop nice thing is there a way to go above level 10 difficulty is there anything beyond that or no?
That is max in the moment
of
the
all got a bad gaming
get out of here
I feel like if we cross the beams, that thing will die.
I feel like two of them could definitely kill one of those, you know.
I made a mistake. I forgot I'm not wearing the armor that let's me throw 30% farther.
I made a mistake.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Standing in an eagle!
How'd you like to taste some freedom?
What are those green things?
There's mines?
Somebody threw mines?
Alright.
I see you.
I see you mines bro.
Oh, no. You'll never prove it high, Command.
We've got eighty-nine percent of them dead right now.
Nope.
Jesus.
There are so many hogs.
Why are there so many hogs?
It's fine. It's not fine. It's not fine. There we go. It's fine. It's fine. I said to get
around the blockade, you know?
But I have a bomb on me.
Oh
I deployed into leap was that your character getting mulched yes that
I got a gig of mulch there. It was pretty bad.
Does that work?
That used to launch the pelican?
I never had a launch the pelican.
I've been an ages ago.
Unless it was a bug for a while.
Yeah.
The cackling laughter?
Oh, that was another player.
Yeah, he's just spamming me about it.
Love you hold reload with a revolver you start twirling it. Oh that's cool. I didn't know that.
You fell out of the pelican? There's no way.
Also you actually died apparently.
What?
Somehow did.
a squad in fact I fell out it's so funny I love that shit that's so bad damn
funny said eliminated zoomed in the ground perfect token medic 42 obviously
I thought have you heard of the old ps2 games builders gate dark alliance and
Dark Alliance 2.
No, I heard him.
Both were put into steam a few years ago.
You should check him out.
Yeah, I've never heard of that game.
That sounds cool.
I will check it out.
I feel like these missions are not
giving us enough super credits from finding plots, which
is a problem, because we need those.
Action adventure games?
That sounds cool.
Is a bug for a while with a pelican taking 10 years to land?
Oh, you mean like it happened earlier?
Yeah, that sucked.
That was like the longest Pelican landing I've ever seen in the mission earlier.
I was like, what the hell is going on?
Alright, let's go look at High Command.
Bro, what the hell?
Did I just make a merged channel?
I've never seen that before.
Alright.
Here.
Alright.
What is this looking at?
Winning right now, we're 2.8% per hour, up from 2.6%, and they're only 2.0% per hour.
Which is great.
When does the DSS get moved?
You're SC farming gets throttled at a certain point?
You super credits one?
I mean it gets throttled on a daily basis but not like, not like overall on your character.
Yeah, what's the next game you're hyped for?
Chrono Odyssey I think is the one I'm most excited for?
And Cinder City which is another MMO.
Big more up here on open maps they do.
Yeah, you have to find them in the little pod things.
See the timer in the voting menu?
Is it actually so open there?
There's the eagle storm.
When does this thing move?
Station moves in two hours, so in two hours we're going to dominate, basically.
We're just gonna absolutely dominate in two hours
Because this will get Eagle storm up at that point
Because we can donate all of the the common supplies. Yeah
That's pretty cool
Don't even need it at this point. Well, we kind of do
Because they could do a reinforcement round like if we go and pull this back up
And look at this you've got those like areas there
Yeah, they could totally reinforce this.
That's the concern that I have.
You're a bit of a heck-duper yourself, hell yeah.
Like this one we're gonna need later, but like this...
That's the problem.
For sure.
And we need this...
Like, if we move the DSS, then we'll need to hold this place anyway.
Yeah, the quicker Lysaph is secured, the sooner we can resume the march to Sabersand.
Exactly.
this place and then we can move up through Aurora Bay is fine. That seems like the best
option. The problem that I'm seeing right here is they're losing 1.265% per hour right
now with 51,000 people pushing it. Like if we all just went for Lissath and cleared this,
just win it, you know? Are bugs attacking other directions? Let's find out. Not really?
Yeah, they're just holding for reinforcements right now. Nobody else is attacking. This is a
robot mission time. It's all bots. A large portion of the community just follows the DSS.
So if we move the DSS to LaSeth, they'll just move to LaSeth, is what you're saying.
Yeah, also this place is um every mission is like 50 hulks per drop so I'm gonna go with
we need the DSS.
I'm gonna go with that because it's actually horrifying.
The game get uncanceled.
They um, Sony finally undid their bullshit where they weren't selling it two thirds of
the world.
They basically finally figured out that they actually do like money, and what they were
doing was actively reducing their income.
Smart.
Only took a year, but they figured it out, finally.
Rurabay is even more hogs.
Why are you there then?
Come back to LaSent.
The Rurabay is irrelevant.
You see that at one point, there's a planet called...
Wait, did they actually call it then?
Where?
Was it one of the ones that turned into like, like a black hole?
What does a hammer mean?
What are these?
What is a hammer made on that?
What is that?
I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Yeah.
Data center.
Deep mantle forge complex.
What do these do?
Do those accomplish something?
It's a facility?
I can't zoom in anymore. I'm on their website, so
Story stuff, okay
We're almost catching up to them right now
We got 19 hours left. We got to win it. If we don't win with Seth, it's gonna be a huge problem
It makes stuff for holdovers.
Do we know if that does a thing though?
I need to go get some water real quick.
So give me just a minute.
We must kill the bots.
The bot menace must die.
I'm going to run ads now so we don't get them during the mission.
Why?
Why not?
Why? Why do you have to do that? Why? You could be any other way.
Hmmm... the blitz is the worst. Feeling such a happy lad.
Yeah, Jeff held over.
I think I might go over to Orbital Laser this time, because laser is just really good.
I don't know.
It's orange water.
Yeah, Sony reversed the ban on two-thirds of the world, for whatever reason they did that in the first place.
Yeah, I think this is good.
Like, yeah, it's been a while. We've played it since.
How's the game in 2026? Good.
Orb laser is limited use or so? All you need is one.
All you need is one.
Have you held back with the Pope yet?
The Pope could be in this very party right now.
Past the underscore pic with 500 bits said following the notepad++ situation, I had it installed out of curiosity.
I can't remember if I had the auto-update to work on.
Should I reinstall Windows to make sure my system is secure?
There's no way I was getting out of that.
Should you install Windows?
If you want to take that, yes.
I would say if you feel comfortable doing that, I don't see why there's, you know, any reason not to.
If you want to change your passwords, do it from your phone outside of your actual computer.
And like, you're good to go outside of that, man.
It's unlikely to have targeted you, oh my god.
It's gonna throw all these at our grand.
Hello, gentlemen.
Oh, no.
That's a lot of dudes.
It was targeting specific companies or government entities, so do keep that in mind.
What the hell was that gun?
What did you just use to do that?
There's a gun that pops those down?
Since when?
I want that.
Can you get your points back? It still goes into the queue, man.
You didn't lose any of it.

I do love potato.
That was the most clear.
Very good.

Metaproof have to go asset within range.
They're in range.
They're in objective nearby.
And it should do it.
I can't wait to watch that action.
Beautiful.
Oh, actually wait, there's a broadcast station over here.
I think it should kill the broadcast, maybe not.
I'm a little afraid to go over there.
Here you go.

Nice.
You can also shoot down the tower, can you?
That's kind of simple.
of
I
It's one dead
Just one over there
I wish there was a way to pop it with this, but I guess not.
That one's dead.
I think you got that last one over there.
Nice.
So this lies every single time and shows like a pod here, but there's no pod.
It's this exact like layout.
There's just nothing there.
Ridiculous.
the city maps are bugged with it, yeah yeah
That's not great.
Nice.
throw it!
drop it!

And he just decided to sit there and let it happen.
The robot knew.
I wish I could kill that in one view.
Oh, you guys are hellbombing.
I'm dead.
Oh, I'm so dead.
A hellbomb was unnecessary.
Oh, let's get the hell out of here.
Is this one broken?
Yep, another one of those pits.
We're gonna activate that... we're gonna destroy that mortar replacement.
Is that even up?
Get some! Get some!
Mood of all.
Nice. Good job on the mortar.
Get back in now!
Requesting a boost!
One minute.
this is bad
Why is this mission taking so long?
Oh, come on.
Dear god, dude.
Come on, land.
Land, you fool.
Look at that dude on our farm.
Wow.
Aura farm.
Glorious.
Aura farm is what I'm doing.
We don't have the discord?
I'll set it up inside of the actual Pirates discord.
Think I'll do that
Yeah
We missed I wasn't even showing up on the map damn
Got all the up or so
Super how that I
Lost my rations said hey Thor I just wanted to save a lot of them actual parents
I started out in IT as a ticket jockey, and watching your streams pushed me towards cyber security.
I worked my way up to an ISO role at a local government,
and now I'm a security engineer at a large healthcare and pharmaceutical company.
You genuinely inspired that path, and I really appreciate it.
Dude, I'm proud of you. That's fricking amazing.
That's really awesome.
Yeah, that's really awesome.
Congratulations.
No, congratulations. I didn't change his life. He did that. That's his choice.
Welcome back.
He did that. That's freaking amazing. So... rock on, dude.
Not another one? Oh, yeah, no, wait. Zultralord's really upset because he's a sus admin.
Yeah.
More of them, Zultralord.
More of them.
More security professionals for you.
I go to the hunt by the way as Ultralyn, you doing alright?
You surviving?

And by in your lane I mean on the couch, half naked covered in Cheeto dust.
Yeah, I know you.

Can't do shit against holocaust.
Uh, honestly?
Yeah.
Use them streamer box and get a new orb on.
I have never bought another item in this game.
I have earned all of it through gameplay and I will not stop now.
Because there are so many people that come in here and be like, do I have to buy stuff
after I buy the game?
And I'm the example of no you goddamn don't.
Every single in-game dollar I earned by playing the video game.
Everybody just calls them SEAF?
I call them floor-paced usually, so.
There's that.
Yeah.
The late 1900s?
That orange liberty, yes.
Shake up this stuff where you like.
It's like, super-gas and a bunch of other shit, you just put it in water.
It comes with a little plastic thing, and it's pshh.
So that's what I did.
And it tastes...
I don't know.
It's alright.
It tastes like a sour gang of...
Stinks upon what's the number of these invaders to peace with you.
I'm requesting that weapon!
Oh god.
Oh god, they're everywhere.
Requesting orbital!
Requesting tag-tag!
Going down a support weapon!
Where'd my laser go, man?
That's a bug!
Jam!
Oh, that's why.
The jam.
They gave me the risk.
They gave me the raspberry.
Alright.
I don't even know where I am.
Alright.
That was a lot.
Ha ha ha!
Lone Star!
Exactly, good.
Stims are magic, there.
See if I can actually land somewhere not stupid.
Yeah, can't see shit, can't be.
For what? How could I possibly be leaving the mission?
Hello. Goodbye.
I got nothing, dude.
All right, all right, I'm uploading
You hate all of us I know it's ultra-lord I know but you'll never stop
That's... too powerful.
Can we change the official words nickname from McPitch to McHugs?
Yes.
Yes, you can.
It is done.
Hug this man.
Hug react this man.
That's okay, alright. Alright.
all my stuff is there
All right, got my stuff.
Oh, that was rude.
He went after the meatloaf guy over there and shot me instead.
Hello friend.
Nope.
You know, that seems useful.
There's so many of them.
There's one less of them.
There's so many of them.
There's two less of them!
Alright, gotta keep moving.
Survive.
Yeah, two less until they're next wave. True.
Ah!
Uh...
Ah!
There we go.
I really like these big ones now they've got like a just a massive tank like this
Shit.
Ah, I bounced off, I suck.
I'm so not used to throwing these without having the increased throwing strength, because
the armor that I was wearing before, they feel really weird now.
Well, this is a problem.
Grenade it, grenade it, grenade it.
Oh, quasar.
Oh, that's interesting.
I
Run away
Back to being jammed.
We got a jammer out here.
I don't have any grenades. They got a lot of bullshit in here.
Alright, let it do it.
I'm shutting it down.
Come on, man.
is going down. Nice. Here they come.
I got the turtle!
Are you armed then?
I'm stuck?
I'm so dead.
Go the way!
Just...
There it is.
Warping on him down!
Come on, get it! Get it! Yeah!
Met their laser rips through the wall.
You know, I love a good laser. You know what I mean?
It's nice. Nice.
Nice size 2000 said Oh Mighty Feral Lord, did you hear about the new rules in Olympic
Turning, they made many sweeping changes.
TACKPACK INVAM!
UGH!
I GOT THE DIRT!
Calling an orbital strike!
something not just die how do we blow this again but you put a hellbomb out
yes you did
of
the good
but not out of options.
That's the way. Too bad it had so much overhang. It wouldn't have worked.
Wouldn't have worked otherwise.
Still hitting recon armor? Yeah. I love recon armor, dude.
Yeah, calling in my own laser to blow up the enemy is pretty fun. This is the way it is.
I mean, a hell pod is just a big bullet. Let's be honest.
Sabotage up, season tense. There's a lot of fun.
Lost our shield for a moment there.
and
I was down
How'd you like to taste the freedom?
Got him
Nice.
God, I love this thing, man.
There's mechs everywhere.
Yes, horrifying.
Why did you drop that there, you fool?
Did she seriously napalm on the extraction?
Why are you like this, dude?
In same behavior.
No ammo requirement for laser?
Let it overheat if you shoot it for too long.
It's fine, it bounced around.
Delicious points.
Parathouse, no.
It's like, it's like this additive thing that Shae gave me that you spray it in water
and it tastes like a sour apple, basically.
But it's orange, it's like Mandarin orange fire.
It's got a nice- it's got a cool-
Steel underscore generation with 500 bits said hello privateer hardware.
If you think the tied pod thing was crazy, here's a story from your southern neighbor.
About 20 years ago, voodoo donuts in Portland used to sell McQuill glazed donuts and Pepto
Bismol and Tums donuts.
The FDA slapped them and told them to stop.
In Catech Portland hipster style, they did the awful food crazes before they were pulled.
These days, we just have places that sell candied insects and mealworms in their ice cream
Which isn't nearly as weird.
Bro, that's fine, but like...
Nyquil donuts? Come on, man.
I-I love voodoo donuts, too. Like, but...
Dude, what are you doing?
I'm gonna turn this down a liiiitle bit.
Does it go to 11?
Okay.
I'm really glad it goes to 11.
Yet Nyquil donuts is crazy, dude.
That sounds crazy to me.
Yeah, I always use the scout armor. I really enjoy it personally. I need to increase my
ship modules. I'm almost at 150 green. I need more orange. Yeah. I need more orange. That's
I'm after smoothest slowest move and smoothest fast yep true
nice cool donuts Karamac with 500 bits said the TLBR of galactic war progress is that progress rate
is directly based on the percentage of logged in players on a planet yes this unfortunately means
that if the community can't agree on where to go we pretty much lose yes it's not the best but it's
It's better than the devs having to manually adjust the rate based on time of day.
Yep.
Orbit, synchronized.
Got all the surf.
Here.
What about here?
Here.
Get away to the adds.
bro I think it's time I think it's time for my friend I think it's time for the
test of power I think it's time
I think it's time.
There goes the reinforcement budget.
We didn't need it.
It's holding us back.
Slush Berry Games with $5 said being thinking of making the sounds in my game from the
noise my truck makes. Just because I think it would be a funny joke for me only.
7 for the 7.
That is called doing fully sound and it's a really cool thing to do. Do it. I think you
might really enjoy it man. Yeah. Tried the tank, I haven't yet. I think it's cool though.
I got it unmarked. Yeah do it. Do fully sound.
The valorist with 500 bits said good morning Thor. I recently started creating my own campaign
in D&D, taking place in my own homebrew realm. It's been a blast writing the history of
the world, as well as learning all the aspects of a dungeon master. Your positivity and encouragement
in making something has been a big help. Thank you and continue to be awesome.
No, thank you. And thank you to the five gifted subs. Man, the bed bug, that was very nice
here. You're rad, man. Thanks.
I need to check this out. I'll check it out.
My end campaign in D&D though. Campaign in D&D is super fun man.
Homebrew is very fun. I hope you have a blast doing that. Adds you now over. Yeah.
Oh yeah, death is important in this. That is true.
Because we have 200 million lives. We have reinforcements right now.
Hell yeah.
Buster it.
What?
I don't actually know what just killed me on that one.
I actually have no idea what just killed me.
It killed me through a shield.
And said was it my Tesla turret, but it came from the other side of the map
It came from the totally wrong side
Grenades grenades in the middle of the ball. Yes
All right, I'm out of grenades and I'm dead. I'll get more grenades
That was indeed a gaggle of hulks. That is true. That's a lot of hulks. Yeah.
No, I'm not. Oh, did you throw me so far outside the mission area? I can't even get back in.
You son of a bitch. There we go.
Oh my god, there's so many of them.
If only, if only I had something I could do.
only if only the Tesla Tower would land if only
hello friends
Hey, a shield.
There's so many hogs.
Why are there so many hogs?
There are so many Hawks, dude.
That is insane.
Bro, reinforce.
Why? Why are you throwing these so far?
What is wrong with you?
You're throwing them super far behind enemy lines.
Oh, that's right!
Hey, run! Run, goddamnit!
Is it a bug doing it?
Is it a bug?
It might be a bug.
These are bots, though. True.
True.
Like it's supposed to put us wherever they're throwing it. I think I think something's wrong
Look at that one words, yeah, that's a little weird
Why shouldn't I if we could test the turret?
Why shouldn't I deploy that?
I like a flamethrower.
should have flamethrowered better, nerd.
I had flamethrowered, he's flamethrowered.
Fire kills him fast, it seems to, yeah.
I wonder why.
Thor makes the perfect Helldiver.
Why would I need to survive?
Squished.
Emerged from here to me.
I'm like a parasite.
That's great.
I wish to climb.
That's why I love this weapon, dude.
Yes!
What is happening? There's so many.
Oh, at least my test turret landed.
ZAP A BALL!
Made it in!
I think it does. I think it may have died if he had. No, I live.
It's so goddamn funny, dude.
Dropped into escape, you goddamn right.
Can't I usually miss it?
I've totally died in the ship.
I've also killed Primegine in the ship.
Yeah.
It's totally passing by.
Orochi underscore X2002 said for Managed Democracy, Roo7.
Democracy.
You watched a straight 380 show.
Pierce, a pelican in transit and wipe the squad out of it.
I think, really?
What?
I've never seen that.
That seems insane
Give up already hell divers. No, no, I don't think I'm gonna do that
It's only get back in your good graces
I don't trust him as far as I could throw him and I am unable to throw them
however
They made it so that the game is now purchasable the world over instead of not allowing you to purchase it in two-thirds of the world
Which was my main point of not playing the game
It changed that like almost a year ago somewhere there so I finally went back to start playing
it.
They screwed it up for a whole year.
Yeah, the Pope can technically die though, because they believe so.
I have to go check to see if the Pope himself can do it.
Yeah, they unshit the bed, dude, which is rare.
That's a rare thing.
Favourite strategies?
I really, really like the arc thrower and the personal shield.
i know that makes me the most hated man alive but
i've been using the laser instead
the lasers been a lot of fun
i need to get a stratagem for the laser cannon
the laser turret is what i need to get
because that's busted cool
I'm not doing it.
It's too much jam.
That's far too much jam for a hug.
I'm not doing it.
You'll get your jam in my jam.
I don't want your jam in my jam dude. There's too much jam. No, no
Hey, so did we take that town? Oh, no, it's almost done. This is gonna pop in just a few minutes here
I'd like to see how much percentage this goes up when this happens because Serenity Summit's gonna be taken from this
Or does a town build back into a city?
Are you okay over there for what's?
You okay?
Oh my god.
Is it just liberation progress?
Oh, yeah, I don't want to dive there anymore.
I want to see what happens to percentage when it goes.
Because I want to see if it changes, you know?
Because this is at 997515.
And I just don't know.
I don't know how much it does.
need to see this would you send it where will you take your stand
dude this is every mission right now it's so many it's so many Hawks dude it's
so many Hawks dude that's what we've been seeing and it's just like alright it's
It's just ridiculous.
You're still waiting too, like we don't even lose.
It's completely, completely bad shit.
Let us secure the sustenance of Super Earth.
I wonder how long this actually takes to adopt it.
She said Crystal Slopes is worth 40%.
So a city is worth 40.
What is a mega city worth?
There's basically no point in doing a mega city of that.
There's like 40 Hawks on the image? Yeah, it's crazy.
The commanding site says it's already taken, does it?
Oh shit!
The commanding site shows a lot of different... Hold on.
I wonder if we do that and then it'll refresh.
It doesn't even show it updated.
Uh...
on the companion site if I could pull this up you can see how much farther it
is taking that town put us way out ahead like way way out ahead travel away
first then we reset
,
how do we do it
, travel
for just go all the way all the way out and then all the way
Nope, didn't update go to the black hole
Yeah, we'll do that
No, I didn't do oh it yet did okay, so you just have to do a jump
That's freaking sick dude. So that one town capture basically just won this
That's crazy. No, that's like super crazy
crazy. Awesome, man. Go capture another town. Well, I mean, the city's at 37%, right? I
think it's the only other place on here we can capture that's like that. We'll have to
go for the city, yeah? We don't need the mega city. We need just crystal slopes. Yeah,
Any caps give Master Boost?
We'll win if we take this city.
Successfully reclaiming city significantly contributes to the planet's liberation.
The official Olympics are using AI-generated images on their account.
Use an operation, and free this world from tyranny.
What?
Bruh what?
there's straight up AI generating their no
all god dude
all no dude this is from the official Olympics account
all no dude
No, that's 100% real. Look. The Olympics at Olympics. This AI generated, this is AI generated
and contains images that violate the International Olympic Committee's own strict branding guidelines.
Because they got their own logo wrong. Somebody else is pulling it out. So if you look at
this, their own logo right there is wrong because the layering of the colors is incorrect.
Because I didn't get it right so yeah yeah yeah that's from the official wild
Why is everyone really want this AI slab?
Why?
and
Dude
Makes me laugh
They've invested too much to accept that it will fail. Yeah, it's super weird
Sabotage supply bases sabotage an airbase blitz search and destroy. Let's just do the search and destroy first
And he's involved it already has
Which is why open eye it goes out of bank as out of businesses here, man
and
imagine making negative 14 billion dollars
in a year
not according to a video they got a big fun to see
or more of 500 kilogram arms, a laser cannon, a shield jet, and localization confusion.
Yeah, I said negative 14 billion with a B. OpenAI is less profitable than Winrar.
That is a correct statement.
Yes.
If you have a dollar, you have more money than OpenAI.
If you have no dollars, you have more money than open AI.
You could burn a dollar bill and you will be more profitable than open AI this year.
Congratulations.
What if you have moderate credit card debt?
You are more profitable than open AI.
No matter how bad you feel, no matter how shit your day is, no matter what is going
on in your life. Remember that you are more profitable than open AI. It doesn't matter
how much money you have, it's more than that. What if you run open AI? Eat shit.
Oh come on man eat it
Oh god.
I have to leave?
I don't know if I can do it.
I'm gonna stay in range.
Come on.
Stay in range.
Got it.
He?
Ow.
Got him.
It is a good day.
It's a hilarious how much time you spend running at high difficulties.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, no, you're constantly, constantly, dodging and diving out of shit.
That's the most motivational thing you've heard all year.
Why am I bleeding?
What happened there?
I didn't have any injuries, I was just bleeding.
Nice.
Yeah, I got a weird factory out here.
I don't know what this shit is.
I don't like it.
Oh, that's not what I wanted.
to
them
I need to get all the jammed wait
hell for more!
We are in the area!
Gunship Facility down.
Got an illegal broadcast there, huh?
Illegal.
Had to jam in there.
Why am I bleeding so much?
Why does that keep happening?
It's like randomly bleeding, and I don't know why.
Oh, I was stamina? I was running myself to death?
Really? I don't remember that being a thing.
Double Hellbomb!
Sick!
oh god gunship scary get him in I need help I need help it hurts it hurts my bones I have
Very few bones left.
Oh god.
Oh, thank god.
Beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Alright, good.
I get to live, child.
No one's down.
The laser is super good, dude.
What?
Wow!
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ohhhh
Oh
How the hell did I die?
Oh
Wow look at all this material.
Some other helldiver.
some other hell diver left for me I wonder why they did that what a helpful
hell diver that could have been who could have done that
could have been anyone right
I was like, yeah, I could only take out this guy. I didn't realize there was 20 dudes to my right
Okay, that's I guess that's fine
If I'm going down I'm taking you with me
Steep it? All right. Worth.
Good. Oh, good death.
Honestly, the laser cannon's amazing. Have I seen the tank I have?
gentlemen blues
gentlemen save me
gentlemen why
oh god oh god
folks
yeah I think I killed two of them
Oh god! Oh god! This was a mistake!
Yes! Yesssss!
Glorious! Glorious! Aim for the bushes, no! Aim for the center of the enemies.
What's going on out there, we see him.
Boy, oh how did they not hit him?
Got him.
Worth.
Why can't I hold all these hooks?
One for one.
Oh!
Did he not die?
Did he not take?
Oh, me too.
Killed one anyway.
You guys should probably throw the reinforcing pod on the ship.
Just... just tell me inside of the camp that's why.
There.
All of the promos for the Olympics are Jedi, all of it.
That's crazy.
That is crazy. All of it is wrong. The colors are all wrong. Oh god, man.
That's so weird, dude.
Oh, that's crazy.
That's crazy, dude.
Oh, Olympics.
Is that the Olympic Committee or Italy's doing?
I don't know.
Um, wow, he's really covered in jam.
He's got a lot of jam going on.
You see the Helldivers 2 official video for Cyberstan?
I know, but I saw the images and it means we have a lot to blow up.
Ready.
Yeah.
One of the guidelines is literally do not modify colors.
They cannot be modified through colors.
They can't put a drop shadow.
They can't put anything on it and it's, it is everywhere.
Yeah.
If Italy did it, it's very ironic given that they have the technical ability to produce
hypercars.
I don't think that has anything to do with it.
to be honest with you. Italy's car production has nothing to do with the
Olympics AI generated slop imagery, right? Yeah, not great. Someone is probably
going to yell it for this. Dude, it's all of their imagery. It's not even just a
little bit. It's all of it. Yes, Loperator is now an Olympic sport. That's how I feel
about it. Yeah. Incredible, actually. Decided by a committee. That committee sucks thing.
I wish to get the hammer. I need it. I need it. That means I need more of these. I'm not
getting any super credits at all now because we can't find a single thing that works for this.
You only watch the Olympics for curling?
I can't get excited about curling.
I know some of you guys are very excited about curling.
I cannot actually get excited about curling at all.
It's just, I just can't do it.
shuffleboard on ice. It's just, it's just sweeping. He says that, but it's true. I just
can't. I can't get excited about it, dude. It's Olympic cleaning. It is. Come to my house.
Curl my floor, dude. Like you want to watch the Bob's like Bob's setting school. Bob's
laying that shit's red and dangerous and really cool to watch. I agree with that. But
like curling I just can't I know it's like highly technical and like this whole thing
zero supercredits in cities we got one in the city earlier yeah we got 10 in the city
the problem is there's a lot of the pods they say they're on the map but they're not actually there
yeah
Yeah, honestly, though, like, Bob Slaying is crazy.
There's a movie based around curling called Men With Brooms.
Okay.
What is even going on with the Olympics?
I know it's stupid.
what is going on bro what is happening at the Olympics what is it I don't understand
I'm very confused
Yeah, if you're wondering what the Espresso Maker apparently is, it's a mocha, which is part of their heritage.
So, that makes sense.
That's like a...
a well-designed...
thing.
That they're very proud of.
So, I don't think that's a problem.
But the AI-generated shit is just sad.
Yeah.
Alright.
Sabotage supply pieces.
I don't know anything about that, Nico. I don't know shit about anything with the Olympics.
I never watched the Olympics. Like I never do.
They'll get it.
Laser.
More lasers.
Shield generator.
And the localization confusion.
You try mushroom coffee?
Yeah, I think I would.
You love lasers?
You got damn right.
What does that one do?
What does the two, what does the two vials do?
I've never seen that one before.
Yeah, I don't think I have that one.
Huh.
Samples?
What does it do for samples?
Just picking up samples sometimes gives you an extra sample.
That's huge.
I tried hovering over it, nothing happened.
Have you tried mushroom hot chocolate?
Yes, I have.
very good. They just need to add chess boxing. I agree with that. Hell yeah.
Worth!
Stepped on.
Scorchers are so good it's an amazing weapon, dude.
Very cool.
Oh, stim! The elements are stim, you fool!
Running around with half HP? What kind of- What kind of health library?
It's a lot of hawks. Yeah.
Going in orbital strike.
Going down to support weapons.
Attack back inbound.
A good laser.
of
the rocket guy down
there's so many of these damn things dude
of
I'm trying to find most of them in the gallery.
Got it.
Sample collect!
So pretend you're in your location.
of
,
it didn't work
as a
of time. I need more.
Nasty.
God it goes!
I love being a commuter in this game dude, it's so much fun.
Yeah.
It's so much fun, man.
Gorgietto said, hey there, game where your items can give you more damage depending CPU
core amount, or if your steam friend is online he can block hit for you.
Did I get your attention? Link coming.
HTTPS colon slash slash store dot steampower dot com slash app slash two five one six four seven.
That sounds really weird. Yeah, kind of want to check that out.
Thank you for sending it over. I will check that on the answer TTS channel.
Weird. Cool game mechanics. Strange game mechanics.
of
What?
Did I just hallucinate those?
of
the gun ships not good
if
I gotta get out of here. There's too many.
Jesus, dude.
No, I'm done.
I'm gonna go out and blaze the glory.
I got a broken leg. I got no stems.
I'm pinned down by a gunship.
It's my time.
I'll take this all down with me.
it hurts but I'm still alive yeah you do you got it you got a stem stem for me
thanks buddy you're beautiful
nice
Look at it.
Double cut.
Hell yeah.
I'm really glad they changed this thing to heavy pen dude.
Alright.
taking map west 50 meters
requesting orbital strike
get them get them
of
Don't step closer to me, sir. Don't leave.
I always live never die.
Alright.
Got my shield back.
Finally down.
That was a good run.
I don't even know what killed me on that one.
I thought I was covered from the left.
There we go.
I got the terminal!
You have ignited the torches of light.
Extrusion always.
Hell no!
Get in the area!
It's a good idea.
All of this is great.
I like a sample.
Nice.
haha
saw man
yeah the game is no longer in xl
kona man sir i belive you
i belive
your cape is large
so
So many bots over dude. It's crazy like they set up an event where it's just hulks all the way down
And we just have infinite hulks and it's hilarious
of
the
This is bad. They're coming up the stairs.
There are so many hogs.
This is democracy, man, it still is.
Fantastic.
Oh! You son of a bitch!
Don't you late without me?
Good.
Look for them all.
It's a good lazy.
It's a thing, can't you see?
Another victory for the right side of history.
That strut into the shuttle is very funny.
That's a good mission.
Gallantry beyond measure.
I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Hey, Australian! I have a question for you. How many of you guys are Australian in chat?
I have a I have a big question for Australians. Why is it that Australia is moving seven centimeters
per year northward faster than any other continent? Are you invading? Don't ask about it. I want
to know. It's trying to get away. No, it's trying to try to join. It's not a crash course.
One whole centimeters a year.
I'm asking.
Australia, what places do you have to be?
I'm on to you.
I'm on to you and your bullshit.
You can't pilot Australia as a boat.
You can't do it.
Is that an invasion?
Is it a boat?
I don't even know.
You're gonna look at Phil Witt's losing his mind.
Too many camels.
Does Australia even have camels?
Do you guys have camels there?
Is it a thing?
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Phil Witt's has lost his mind.
Golem answer, you are covered in jam.
Every mission, covered in jam.
Every mission, you try to hug me with jam.
You have to be clean, clean for a hug.
How dare you?
As a Brit, I can say that all...
They're all criminals.
I mean, that's...
That is what the British would say.
Don't worry.
We have a day to celebrate you.
We blow up the sky on that day.
It's a good celebration of the British.
Australia is in the back of a really large turtle.
I could believe that.
I could believe this.
I have all these requisitions kept at me.
I don't know what to do with it.
So it's you, okay?
This is basically hellbottoms.
So that's all of this.
I already bought the tank, it's already done.
38.9% city liberation progress.
You sure the turtle is venomous? Yes.
There.
Hmm.
More.
I don't know if I liked the orbital blazing. I don't know if I didn't though.
Just doesn't have very many shots.
How close are we to Saverson? We're trying to take a planet we're going at.
I don't like that. I don't like any of the things that you just said.
Please don't say those immediately.
Oh wait, gotta run ads.
Ever done with Hell Devours?
They undid their bullshit decision.
About six months ago somewhere there.
The game is not purchasable anywhere in the world.
No longer bound by Sony's bullshit.
Glorious.
Hug the man, or I'll give bread to the mods, you still believe in bread.
Niko sped with 500 bits said crotch gate, so rules are very specific about how much fabric
ski jumpers are allowed as any extra provides more lift and allows you to fly farther.
So they 3D scan the jumpers to get exact measurements for the suit.
Well specifically the crotch is very important so jumpers with penises have been injecting
hynoirolic acid to increase the size of their crotch before the scans.
Really?
So they can get more cloth, so they can glide farther in the air?
I'd say they should ban that, that's crazy.
Six centimeters of cloth adds 5.6 meters of distance.
So what you're saying is bigger really is better.
Aerodynamically speaking.
that's crazy. That's such a crazy ass thing, dude.
The ads are over.
Yeah, that makes that whole sport an erotically a dick measuring contest.
Alright.
I've learned.
I've learned about the Olympics, though.
Yeah.
Thanks for this knowledge.
You can boo me, but you know I'm right.
That's the worst part about it.
Yeah.
Got him.
okay did you just put gas on that even though gas ain't gonna stop that
yeah I'm just gonna
really nothing happening in there
Come on, Laser. Do your thing. What do you mean, repositioning? What does that mean?
This is the worst position.
God damn it. God damn it. Yeah, that's why I tried to throw the laser up there and it
canceled, and then I tried to throw it out of the ground and it said repositioning and
I'm like, what's going on?
Like, then she just boarded.
And there was no jammer there,
so I'm like, what the hell's happening here?
Really?
Game, please. What's going on there?
Yeah, I'm getting some weird movement on this one. All kinds of weird shit.
Yeah, that's a weird one. Every once in a while you get a weird mission.
This is that weird mission for me. This one is at least jammed.
Oh, come on. Commando missions are brutally rough. No, it's just weird, just like, we've
done this one before and there's no problems, but this one is like, I'm just getting all
the bad luck. Realistic, the buildings are all rubble. Buying solution and more complicated.
Alright, firing solution? What do you think?
Running into bullets is bad for you? True. True. Unless... unless...
You're building up resistance to higher caliber bullets.
As I just did. Going you that I have returned.
Now immune.
of
them by a laser zone very long
Try to land on it.
What the shit?
Outta nowhere.
Alright.
Ha, ha, ha.
They're everywhere.
everywhere oh they're everywhere why are they everywhere this is a rough one dude
where the hell am I now see opposite side of the goddamn map
The other one is going to help him.
Somebody else is going to help him.
Going in, orbital strike!
Throwing for the air!
work in the front door is it not actually work in the front door anymore I
think I think that works in the small ones I guess it doesn't work in the big
ones weird
Yeah, there's another one there.
Holy shit.
See ya, dorks.
this is the one got one of them down
Holy shit, dude.
This is not my mission, dude.
Laser up.
Nope.
Laser in the wrong direction.
You think I'm the third, I guess?
Oh, okay.
That's what I guess.
and
of
rebuild
sick
And there's no, like, Ho-Bomb or anything like that.
Ah, there it is.
Or not.
It's the SSSD, that's why.
Melted.
That's another retake.
That's bad.
that's a new one I don't know what that is
where's the H? Where's the... there it is. No, you son of a bitch.
Yeah, that's a weird one.
Shit!
No!
Ow.
Somehow not dead.
Alright.
You just puzzle that on the fly?
Yeah, you just have to manage some symbols.
All right. You just puzzle that on the fly? Yeah, you just have to match the symbols.
I had no idea how it worked. So I just needed a second, then I figured it out.
of
the
Alright, I got a laser out.
What in the shit?
How many of these goddamn things are there, dude?
Alright! Oh my god!
So many hawks! So many hawks!
I'm gonna go down the stairs you bastard come on come on come on come on oh there's so many
I don't think I can do this.
I'm going to try it.
I did it!
Got it!
So what do you want?
God, that's horrifying, dude.
There are just so many of these goddamn hoaxes.
There's just so many of them.
Awesome pledge, thank you.
That was insane.
Honestly.
How'd you like the taste of freedom?
Laser's doing great, dude.
Oh.
Oh, bought my shield.
I'm going back to the one who's right.

Pretty good round, yeah?

really good. It's fantastic, actually.
Starlit-Stell said freedom's greetings. I hope to see your destroyer at the Battle
of Cybiston. We cannot allow the bots to do whatever it is they're actively doing.
Exactly. We can't allow the bots to do whatever it is they're actively doing. No matter what
That is. It could be anything.
That doesn't matter. It's undemocratic.
Yeah.
Actually...
I'm wondering how fast the community's gonna take this.
We may actually take the planet before we take this city.
You've seen a Hivelord, the most powerful enemy in the game?
How many 500 kilogram bombs?
How many?
all of them all of them are why why have both golem ants here in phil wits broken
why does this happen I wish that laughter had a little bit of audio variants on it
like anything it's the same screeching laugh every time what Jesus did all this
is through acquisition I've got a single super credit man not a single super
credit this time let's see customize we start buying all this stuff because I'm
I can't cap that.
It's kind of a weird one.
I'm so used to that.
Lazy-sadded angled four-grip. No, I think I'm gonna stay on the vertical four-grip.
I wish it would actually show the site. When you're selecting the site, like I wish it
would go into ADS mode, like over there, so you can see what the site looks like. You
know what I mean? Because it just doesn't do anything like that. It doesn't do that at
all. You're like, I guess it looks like that. That could be anything. You can rotate. Can
you? Can you? I'll be going to here customize. How do I rotate it? What? Oh, you have to hold
middle mouse button. That's weird. And it doesn't actually show you the site really.
Yeah, I don't know how to feel about that.
I'm gonna do that.
the senator it's a good time oh god
your sniper nice I am a scout it's a lot of fun we're very high up there now man
we got 72,000 people running it 52,000 of the other ones so most of the
community is here now if we go pull up the companion app
we are now receiving 3.3% per hour on this planet and the enemies only
receiving 2% we're gonna we're gonna burst this thing for Aurora Bay we're
losing 1.45%. So the whole community is gonna get over here. That shit does not
matter. Up there. That is irrelevant. Super relevant. What are these? What are
those ships? Are those enemy ships?
When I start on chapter three, go and look at the steam page. I just updated
eight days ago, man.
And that's already out.
You're on the final boss fight now, man.
And it's playable.
It's not great right now.
But I'm still updating.
Yeah.
We should detect Merrick.
Why Merrick?
That's 3%.
This one's 3.13%.
I guess you technically right.
Yeah.
Jet Brigade and Indian Cinderia Corpse?
Okay.
That makes sense.
people doing this game affects the space? Oh yeah. Everything that you do affects the
overarching story of the game. And right now we're trying to take Lissath. Once we take
that one, we can move up and either take Aurora Bay or Merrick. The problem is, is we all voted
to have the DSS move to Lissath. But I guess it's fine because we really can't lose this
Lissath. It'd be a really bad idea if we lost it.
Do you have any ETA in the final release bar in translations?
Of course, no.
No, I don't.
I just update it every month like I say I'm going to until it's done.
But Animus has done this month.
This is the final month of that entire chapter and I will never look at it again.
And then we'll go on to Yotinheim.
So, cool.
Yeah.
Because it's on the, it's the middle of the combat fight, I'm just updating the combat
to get more stuff.
What I'm waiting on right now is Shea.
has art to make. And I need combat animations. That's about it.
We take Merrick, then we give up on Aurora Bay. And Aurora Bay has the Jet Bridge factories.
Wait, what? Explain that to me.
What does the Jet Bridge factory do? Vertically enhanced Jet Bridge soldiers are produced
here.
What does that work? What do those do?
Yeah, what does that do for that?
No more jumping bots.
So if we keep that one, the bots can't actually have jump bots.
Is that what that is?
Well, the field means anything up to Hulk has jetpacks.
So if I go there right now, we can have jetpack hulks that we have to fight, is what you're
telling me.
Or only if they own this planet.
Well, Seth has them too.
Jetpack everything.
We have Hulk Surge here.
This one is Incinerator Corp.
Incineration Corps.
Okay.
So if we take that one, they don't get it anymore, is what you're saying.
Because they have both jet brigade factories and the jet brigade, which I hate entirely.
Red Bull Hulk?
That sounds awful.
That actually sounds legitimately horrifying.
I don't, I'm not a fan.
Yeah.
One diver in Cybersyn?
I know.
That's John Helldiver.
He's there.
Tim, there is John Helder himself, dudes.
Yeah.
You play this game, I thought you said it was a big no-no.
Yeah, so a lot of people didn't actually try to find out why I said no.
It's because Sony stopped you from buying it two-thirds of the world.
And then a year later, they went back on that.
And that's it.
I was waiting for them to unshit their own bed.
And they finally unshit their own bed.
And now I play this again
Yeah
It was really stupid to be honest with you that they even did that in the first place
It was like watching Sony be like, you know, I don't want money from two-thirds of the world
And everyone's like, what are you doing? Sonny's like, I've made a decision
And then a year later, they're like, you know, I actually do like money from two-thirds of the world
Maybe I'll undo that, right?
Yeah
They took a year, I took a year, exactly
That's not John Haldiver, that's Joel. So what you're saying is
Joel is a traitor. He's sympathizing with the robots on Cybersat
It's not good
only have two towns left or two cities right now because we took that city
Is there any reason to fight outside of cities?
Literally at all.
That is bullshit people in those regions were able to play.
Those people in those regions were not able to buy the game.
That's why that's not bullshit.
Not even close.
They banned the game from purchase in every one of those regions.
And I reported on all of it.
So no, you can't just make that disappear.
What is wrong with you?
You should try defense mission, as just a sea of hawks. That's what we've been doing. Yeah.
It's just all hawks, man. Hawks all the way down.
Supercredits if you don't like cities. Did I just want supercredits?
You emergency evacuation in tons of hulks. I don't want that at all.
You don't know that because you're not from here. It was easy to get around that.
My man. Don't make me do this to you. You're gonna look like a dumbass. Here.
I just, I hate when people want to die on stupid ass hills like this dude, I'm gonna
show you all of the screenshots and all the posts that I made and everything that happened
with this because apparently you just can't believe you're lying eyes.
It's wild, man.
Wait for these ads to be over.
Ads are over.
You see this?
This is the post that I made where they blocked
130 countries from being able to purchase the video game.
So when you say no, that never happened,
you're full of shit.
I reported on all of this the whole time.
And then afterwards,
they kept it this way for a year, man.
You couldn't buy it in any of those regions
unless you went around the region locks, which is against Steam's terms of service.
So don't go in here and act like that didn't happen.
You can't just rewrite history because you don't care or you don't believe it.
It doesn't work that way.
That shit sucked for everybody.
The operation accomplished. Your valor is beyond question.
Hey.
Why do they block those countries? They just decided to. Yeah.
They wanted to allow it only in places where you had a PSN account.
First, they were going to make it so you could only play if you had a PSN
account. And then after that, they said, okay, well, you don't need a PSN
account, but we won't let you buy it unless you're in a region where
PSN is available and then a year later. They're like actually we still like money
Let's undo that and then they allowed you to buy it in all those regions again
And you go pull it up on SteamDB and see if the updates as well. It's the same shit that we reported on the whole thing
Games had no sanity there exactly it ruined hell divers for a shitload of people around the world
So to try and act like suddenly that never happened that's wild dude
All right, oh, but a laser
I will never understand that shit.
Yeah, you can't gas lamp, dude.
It doesn't work that way. Got the receipts.
Now you can also play Held Ever's Doing Xbox. Heard about that. I don't know if there's crossplay though.
I don't know if there is. I don't know anything about that.
Is there?
That's kind of cool. Is there... if I progress on
Xbox, can I carry my progress to Steam?
Can I play the same account?
Or no?
No.
No cross-progression?
Alright.
You see?
You say, I didn't say it didn't happen, I'm saying the situation was overblown, easy bypass.
The only way to bypass that is by breaking Steam's terms of service, to buy it in a region
that you do not currently live.
Don't walk it back now.
It's over. You've lost.
Like...
Hehehehe
Um...
Yeah, this music is awesome
Wait on it wait on it
Yeah, the music's amazing
Is this not going to load?
We might be getting a loader.
Something's wrong.
Yeah.
We fall from space forever.
Forever.
Yeah, they launched us in space like way too early. That's all.
Yeah, the atmosphere is just very thick. Yeah.
Yeah.
It's got the little spinning in the bottom right corner, so it's not crashed.
Could be somebody with super high ping.
Do you think Airhead will add an aluminum warbong? I don't know. I have no idea.
maybe next time you should park closer you can't park here you can't
names are that time did Sony big gave us back hell levers yeah now we made a
bunch of memes about it then
Yeah, people have been made these.
That was one of the funniest times I've ever had this major order complete.
Because Sony just shit the bed on it.
It was so stupid.
It was such a weird thing to do.
Yeah, it was such a weird thing to do.
It just cost them a bunch of money and cost the community a bunch.
You know?
That's Arrowhead more than anybody.
Did they fire you at Cyberstand by mistake? I think we've crashed.
Oh, ironically.
I think we've actually crashed. It's a Holtzman shield.
True. Oh, oh!
Maybe we didn't crash. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Got it!
Hey, buddy. Oh, this is bad.
Got it. Not good. What? I just get covered in like acid? Whatever, I dropped a laser
They're in a mid-swan.
Oh...
Oh, so biofactory?
and
of
I can't complain about it.
Victory.
W. Sony?
No, neutral Sony.
You can't, you don't get a W. Sony.
No, neutral sonny. You can't, you don't get a W for causing a problem and then fixing the problem you just caused.
Doesn't work that way, dude.
You're like, man, I made a mess of everything. Let me clean that up, and then you're like, oh, W that guy. Like, that doesn't work that way.
It's like, alright, we go back to neutral, you know. Yeah, it's more like a whatever, sonny.
Makes me laugh though
Yeah, I put out the fire guys don't worry it's like you started the fire whoa
Is that a car let's get a car
Got a sneak sneak sneak
of
It's got to be up here somewhere, right?
There it is.
This is why I love wearing this armor, by the way, because it reduces the radius that enemies can see you by 30%.
So if you go out and you command a mode, you can totally get into areas and just shut the whole thing down.
It's really nice. Yeah, Sneaky's good, man.
Can you drop a hillbomb?
Come on, man.
I got the terminal
go go go go go go go go go go go this is the way
way. Make sure you stick around after you arm the hub on, but gotta make sure it works
correctly I know right sneaky sneaky what the shit is my legs you doing what
Why did you- Okay.
That didn't kill it.
I'll post clear.
Engaging terminal.
Alba Noir!
We are the area!
I'll post clear.
Well, Balmor, we are the area!
Now, most clear enough.
Did that not blow that building up?
What?
Well, well, it's a known bug
That doesn't make any goddamn sense, but all right hit the side with red lights
All right, come on!
Quick area!
Rear shackles 1!
Get out of here.
Not great. Not great.
what the hell was that holy shit is that a turret it was
Alright, so I'm being chased by a lot of dudes.
This is probably bad.
I'm gonna go up this way, see if we can take this out.
WIX killer GM said to let you know what's happening if we capture a law of bay it will
prevent the robots from producing more jetpack guys and give us jetpacks when we get to cyber
stand for free.
But if we capture Marat then we prevent them from producing more flamethrowers and get
free flamethrowers for the cyber stand.
If I remember correctly, we can also get something from capturing other planets next to Chord Faye, but I don't remember what that stuff is.
That's kind of sick to be honest. I didn't know that you'd done that.
I didn't know that they added that kind of stuff to it, I think it's really cool.
Popped it.
I don't actually know what I need to blow up with this, but I'm fine with it.
I'll just put a hellbomb in anyway, you know?
Oh shit, they picked up the wrong thing.
There we go.
Let me go see if I can blow this thing up again.
Yeah.
Whatever I had to blow up, I hit it. Yeah, I'm mostly wondering about this shit.
He's like, I put the bomb right there in the front last time.
right now we'll put this
right here, right?
I'll put it right on the other side of the dam, though.
Yeah, we're in that 500 kilogram bomb.
Hey, Z4, I'd leave.
You're about to blow up.
There we go.
Alright.
So it looks like it's just immune on that one side.
Maybe it's...maybe the exploding part is too big or too tall and it, like, can't reach
it with a help bomb or whatever.
I have no idea.
Yeah, it could be, but just not sure.
already
When a doubt yell for democracy true what grenades am I using just lie impact or high explosive ones?
This is that thing again, so this is bugged
There's supposed to be a pod there it looks like that's the only one in the cities. I just don't have them
Because I haven't seen another model of that so far. It's only been that
Do you usually use Sneaky Armor? Yeah. Almost always. Sneaky Armor or Throw Grenade
Far Armor? That's the kind of thing I really like.
Because I usually when it runs around it gets everybody super credits and then takes out
not like a man of motion, stuff.
Zap.
Go again, orbital strike!
Slashberry games with $5 said super off topic, is making a strike for the foreground of
a rumored solution.
The idea is that the area is dark and needs a light source.
Seven-kitting.
So you need to have like the sprite be the dark thing, is that what you're saying?
The overlay, you can actually use those just drawing simple shapes and gradients, uh, usually what is called lindar panel.
Along the edge of the screen.
Does that make sense?
When you just use the plasma cannon, it's just better. I enjoy the shit out of this, and I'm quite fine with it.
You?
You can use the plasma cannon, but...
I'mma use cool lasers.
Because they have heavy armor pad now, and are very versatile.
of
once. And you shoot it again, it runs out of the, uh, the cool down. This just keeps going.
Nice!
let's go you guys are you hellbombing oh my god I'm getting out of here why do
you have a portable hellbomb why do you have that what does that even do okay
Why?
Stick games to locking people's PCs?
I haven't had a problem at all.
No.
Yeah, that's weird.
We're sinking.
It would give a view.
What is there behind it?
Why you were behind it?
I'm not sure I understand Slush Barrier.
If you're trying to do like an overlay to show darkness, you can just draw simple shapes
of gradients.
If you're trying to do a sprite, you usually don't want to do a full-screen sprite.
That's in-text your memory that's just enormous.
It's gonna make your texture page have problems, if that makes sense.
Want to know what the extraction bird is made of?
Unobtain him.
Yeah.
most powerful material in the universe.
It's made out of up to days, you know, we're all covered in jam.
Peruma, why are you jamless?
What happened to you?
Alright golem answer.
You've tried to hug me all day today, you're covered in jam again.
I'm covered in jam, but this time, I'm just gonna walk away.
Just like all the other times.
Uh, is it raspberry?
You're raspberry.
All right, shit, it is time.
It is time.
I have to go talk to contractors
do business things. That's what I have to do. The betrayal? Yes. I won't do it. Golemites,
you're covered in jam. It's gross. It's gross. It's gross. The jam is gross. Look at him.
Look at him trying to jam me up. Gross. Gross. Gross. Time to dive? You should.
Just go dive, dude. It's fun game. I'm glad that they unshit their own bed, though. And they did
I did that quite a while ago, so it's nice.
It's good to see.
Oh, that's cool.
I like the yellow on that.
I could only get that when I hit level 25, though.
The night paint.
Yeah, I kinda just want the night one.
Yeah, that's sick-looking.
Cool.
I changed the newspaper into the bed.
Good. Good.
Alright guys, so you have a good one.
I will see you all tomorrow.
I've got work to do, my dudes.
Soon.
Soon the work.
Goodbye. Goodbye!
