:Today is Thursday, November 21st, 2024.
4
:I almost forgot what today was.
5
:And with me tonight, we have two ton waffle.
6
:We have Jimmy the rabbit.
7
:I'm no longer associated with this production.
8
:This is where we already go off the rails.
9
:Rails?
10
:What are those?
11
:And I'm Ocho and tonight we have special guest with us, Brandon Verhalen from Star Anvil
Studios.
12
:Hello.
13
:How are you, sir?
14
:I'm always fantastic.
15
:Always.
16
:Always fantastic.
17
:It's much better than saying you're miserable.
18
:Nobody cares.
19
:It's true.
20
:It's true.
21
:I mean, people care, I think just do they really?
22
:Kind of.
23
:Some do depends.
24
:Like if someone was it?
25
:I think they told us once in a sociology class I was taking and they're like, if you go up
to somebody and you say like, you know, how are you?
26
:And they say anything but like, I'm okay.
27
:I'm doing okay.
28
:I'm doing fine.
29
:I'm doing whatever.
30
:And it says something more along the lines of like,
31
:I'm not you know, it's been the absolute worst.
32
:It's sort of like, that's when you're like, okay, like, know, like, it's the you expect
the normal thing of just saying, right?
33
:Yeah, I'm good.
34
:Yeah, I'm okay.
35
:Nobody's really asking how you're doing.
36
:It's just a greeting that it's rare that they actually want to know in the day to day.
37
:Correct.
38
:Yeah, it's more like a like a ritual.
39
:They expect you to say everything's perfect and fantastic.
40
:Bury your real feelings deep down inside.
41
:We do still hope that you're doing OK.
42
:But yeah, we're just going like nuts.
43
:And if you don't just do the thing, then you're just going like this.
44
:And you're like, like, this is not working.
45
:You just want to be like, yeah, we're good.
46
:Yeah, moving on.
47
:Next.
48
:Say, but we do hope you're doing OK.
49
:Welcome to the Zero Point Report, Zero Point Report, where we talk all about the news
surrounding.
50
:the secret world IP.
51
:Hope you're all doing well.
52
:I already see we have Vomr and Massick.
53
:Massick, I haven't seen you in a long time, Massick.
54
:Dan Van Dam coming in here.
55
:Hope everyone's doing okay.
56
:But yes, first and foremost on the list tonight is we have Brandon Verhalen.
57
:Tell us, tell us why you've come on the show.
58
:Well, because you asked me to and I'm a generous man with my time.
59
:Also.
60
:I mean, yes.
61
:Well, that and I asked if you'd invite me on the show.
62
:you know, so true.
63
:You know, so we're working on our next book for the Secret World RPG.
64
:Next one come up is going to be focusing on North America, the Illuminati.
65
:So North America, we're down.
66
:Yeah, yes.
67
:And you already set up the you already set the Kickstarter page for it.
68
:Yeah, we got that set up to just start getting people to follow.
69
:So what you know, the big thing is.
70
:The hardest thing with kickstarters anytime is getting the word out to get people to know
about it.
71
:So you want to start as early as you can because I will.
72
:got 50 emails after then to go, I didn't know there was a Kickstarter.
73
:I'm like, really?
74
:Where were you?
75
:I thought it's so it's so easy to miss or people go, I didn't even know there was going to
be a Kickstarter.
76
:mean, you never know what channels people are observing or watching or how they get their
news.
77
:So exactly.
78
:Yeah.
79
:So you try to hit them.
80
:From any channel they can so we're going to put it out there ...
81
:Kickstarter.com.
82
:Star Emblem Studios Secret World North America.
83
:Launching soon but you could also you could save it you ...
84
:could save it and then.
85
:To get notified on launch when it launches you get a nice ...
86
:email.
87
:me all about it.
88
:if you're if you if you have kickstarter if you just ...
89
:pull you know part of whatever favorite.
90
:It will alert you the day it launches if you've forgotten and say, don't miss this.
91
:so that of course, yeah.
92
:So we're going to focus on, know, what we're going to do at least, you know, provided
nothing bad happens to me and meteorite doesn't fall on me or whatnot.
93
:strange assassins come out of the woodwork.
94
:we're going to do North America, Illuminati, you know, Europe, Templar, dragon Africa,
just kidding dragon Asia.
95
:So no one gets.
96
:yeah.
97
:Dragon age.
98
:Yeah.
99
:then I'm also looking at longer term, like maybe a roachy Africa, something, something
which I won't, I won't name South America.
100
:So this is just the start basically.
101
:Yes, hopefully so.
102
:So far, it's so good.
103
:I mean, we did the 5e version of the Savage Worlds version and both did really well.
104
:Total book sales are, yes, I don't know the real secrets.
105
:That's Josh's job.
106
:He's gonna write.
107
:So, the book sales for both total sales so far between the two are almost equal between 5e
and Savage Worlds, which is pretty amazing.
108
:I'm a little shocked by that in some ways.
109
:And then again, some other ways I'm not so.
110
:So write on...
111
:Someone asked, Louisiana, yeah, so we have some cities we plan to visit, expand a little
bit on.
112
:They might get between three and five pages in the book with, you know, interesting lore,
history and stuff.
113
:And actually, I believe, let me just double check my working list right now.
114
:New Orleans is on the list.
115
:Okay.
116
:I was gonna say, we're getting to that, man.
117
:What'd you say?
118
:I I heard rumblings of Atmat?
119
:Yeah, that's on there too.
120
:We'll see.
121
:I say they say, you write on the Kickstarter page, say, an age is ending and the darkest
days are already here as magic begins to fail.
122
:Ancient enemies cast their avaricious gaze upon our world.
123
:Threats, both mortal and cosmic, once thought merely myth, but horrifically all too real,
begin to reveal themselves as a clock counts down towards apocalypse.
124
:In the midst of these growing shadows, some hope yet remains.
125
:And you are that hope.
126
:Can you discover the truth behind the Secret World?
127
:The Secret World North America focuses the story on the Illuminati and the North America
region.
128
:New player options, new cryptids.
129
:Always good new cryptids.
130
:Seven new locations, three new interconnected adventures.
131
:The Secret World North America will be available for both 5e and Savage Worlds.
132
:Yep.
133
:Nice.
134
:Well, now you've done it all.
135
:Now I can leave.
136
:Bye.
137
:Okay.
138
:right.
139
:That's it.
140
:Good night.
141
:Thanks guys.
142
:Yeah, it's probably going to be more than seven cities, but that's what we're going to
promise.
143
:know, okay.
144
:and I have a, like, for example, I was talking to a Darrell, Darrell did a lot of writing
for the first time around and he, you know, Josh oversaw it.
145
:My wife did, did some writing in there and, but Darrell was the one who just, he read
everything and he had the
146
:the bulk of the writing assignment.
147
:And so he's kind of become my core writer, writing a lot of stuff with Josh still write.
148
:Josh is probably gonna write the Illuminati section.
149
:My wife is really good at researching the cryptids.
150
:She's already got a document about like 50 or 60 monsters where she's got locations and
details for me.
151
:then Darrell's gonna do like the cities and the adventures themselves.
152
:Because it's in some ways easier to write that than the specifics of say the Illuminati.
153
:We have to be really correct You can't just make it up as the city we can add details and
so on And but I was talking to I said, you know, we've got all these interesting cities
154
:but you know the first book we kind of skipped over a little bit because We said well
everybody knows about New York, but we're actually gonna probably do some more New York in
155
:this as well Nice.
156
:It's not like New York is a tiny tiny place.
157
:There's a there's a lot going on in New York Yeah, it's important to the game at all
158
:So what look can you tease maybe some of the other locations you guys are already looking
at?
159
:I'll tell you some of the cities that we have on the list right now and this could change.
160
:So there's no guarantees these will be the final cities when we get there.
161
:We may decide, well, that doesn't work well for us.
162
:New Orleans, Tampa, Mount Shasta, Atlanta, Seattle.
163
:Springton, Ohio, which is going to be a made up town, which we could do whatever we want
with.
164
:Okay.
165
:That's fair.
166
:Vancouver, maybe Montreal and Mexico city.
167
:Okay.
168
:Okay.
169
:Possibly at least one other city in Mexico.
170
:You know, I mean, obviously we're mostly in America probably because of some level of
familiarity for familiarity for us, but we got a couple up in, you know, Canada, a couple
171
:down in Mexico.
172
:And that's as far as we're, you know, I mean, there's always so much room in the book.
173
:So there's going to be cities people want.
174
:It's not going to happen.
175
:We could do some of them ask you, what about Dallas?
176
:that would be cool.
177
:Sure, what about New Mexico City or whatever?
178
:People are going to have all sorts of cool possibilities, but we have to start off with
some limits.
179
:But future adventures might take place in a city that you might get like a page primer on
that city.
180
:Like when we do our three-part adventure,
181
:I might say, hey, let's expand on a city that's not in the book in these adventures so
that we can add it there and give a page there.
182
:It might not be as full as what the book gives on a city, but we can keep adding more bits
as we do adventures and stuff too.
183
:Like I heard that, Joshua had done a, he made one of the, one of the Kickstarter, what
they call those, the extra stuff added onto the Kickstarter, stretch goals.
184
:It was they paid they paid for a tier to get the reward to play the game if that's what
you're talking about.
185
:Yes, yeah, that and that they played a session with with Scrivenomancer with Joshua Deitch
himself.
186
:And I think they said it took place in Chicago.
187
:Yeah, where is where he made their the session last.
188
:And I have talked to him about writing that up into an adventure and expanding something
we can release later.
189
:Yeah, one of those things where it will probably happen, but when?
190
:more than anything but since he's already got the notes for and stuff and he knows it
pretty well there's no reason not to expand that so that's definitely a possibility that
191
:could come out and we've also got 12 with Savage Worlds calls one sheets but we did them
for 5e and Savage Worlds that we're working on it's gonna be their 12 adventures all over
192
:the globe and again they're one sheet so it's literally D &D might be three because just
193
:Stats are bigger, but really the front back of a page So not gonna get a whole lot But
they give you a hint of this city or that town or this location the world and the
194
:adventure takes place there So those things will come out once we get to a certain point
and start releasing them regularly But you'd be surprising how expensive it is to produce
195
:even a two-sided piece of page a paper two-sided piece of paper into a product you can use
so how much You don't mind my asking
196
:Depends on writing layout costs and stuff.
197
:I mean you could easily drop, you know, 75 to a hundred dollars for one page.
198
:If not 150.
199
:And so, you know, right now the big, the monthly from the, from the Kickstarter,
everything is kind of ebbed away and been put into projects and keeping things going.
200
:So now with the next Kickstarter is when I will take money from that and do the next line
of stuff, whatever.
201
:So that's part of the reason to always do a Kickstarter.
202
:We're building an audience to get some regular sales, but not at a level that we can just
say, hey, I got, you know,:
203
:These adventures, because adventures don't sell a lot, unfortunately.
204
:Okay.
205
:mean, I'll, think, that, that was actually true of the original game as well.
206
:Yeah, that was, I was gonna say we, we understand that because side stories.
207
:Yeah.
208
:You had side stories.
209
:And apparently labeling something side stories does not bode well for sales.
210
:No, people want to buy the core book.
211
:And so the least amount of sold item is probably anything for the GM.
212
:You're already making some players want everything.
213
:The people are fans and will just buy it all anyway.
214
:But generally speaking, you got the GM.
215
:Well, there's maybe one GM for eight players.
216
:If you make a resource that's only for the GM.
217
:You're selling to one of your population.
218
:your base.
219
:Yeah.
220
:And a lot of games like black can make up my own stuff.
221
:I don't need to buy your stuff.
222
:There's that too.
223
:So you even less of that.
224
:So but if you make a book like the core book, that's going to represent the setting that
the GM can dig into.
225
:And for example, we're going to include some new player options.
226
:Since it's good for useful to everyone, then it will probably sell.
227
:But you still got to do some adventures because there are people want to see kind of build
that into the project cost.
228
:yeah, yeah.
229
:I was I was pointing out that like, it is a
230
:I don't know.
231
:I've never understood.
232
:Like with secret, the game, right?
233
:Like, even, even with the, the, the role playing stuff, right?
234
:Like if you liked the content and the lore and you got the first one and you liked the
writing, why in God's name, but you not get any additional material?
235
:Cause the reason everyone generally likes this and likes the game.
236
:Isn't like the video game is this amazing.
237
:I mean, it's fun, but.
238
:It's not like it does think the other video games don't.
239
:It's the writing, the stories, historically keeps people coming back to it.
240
:And yet they just labeled something side stories and people are like, nah, I'm not going
to buy that.
241
:Yeah, that's what you're saying, the original problem with the sequel world.
242
:You like the story.
243
:That's why you're playing it.
244
:Why wouldn't you buy more of the story?
245
:It's a conundrum we cannot overcome.
246
:Yeah.
247
:You just have to like label things differently.
248
:mean, sometimes that is naming issue hits.
249
:That could be.
250
:I legitimately, I remember there was like a dev stream or something.
251
:I don't remember if it was tilty or if it was Joel, but I remember them talking about the
fact that they, realized in retrospect, they really messed up by releasing instead of an
252
:issue.
253
:Cause like normally the DLC stuff for TSW, the original game was issues, right?
254
:And the combo covers, I love that stuff.
255
:But they released mission packs for Tokyo called side stories and that those did awfully.
256
:But they were they should have just made it an issue and said, you know, hmm.
257
:They should have used the same the same naming conventions.
258
:It shouldn't have gone off the.
259
:Yeah, this is a less than it's a value proposition.
260
:If you make it sound like you said less than even though it could be just as good if the
people perceive the value to be less They're not gonna buy it.
261
:They feel like they literally said it's side stories like old side story doesn't matter
That's not part of the main story.
262
:So I don't need it.
263
:It's like that's insane Yeah, nobody goes out with the side quest like it's always a main
storyline that they go for They did kind of learn that lesson.
264
:I think
265
:Yeah, a little.
266
:Because you recall, I think one of the last issues, the issues like a comic cover that got
released for TSW was essentially a side story pack.
267
:Like it was not like their prior issues were more like an actual concerted effort, like
around a theme.
268
:This is the thing we're releasing and this has like a, you know, it's all tied into her
bow.
269
:And then they released sort of like a an issue that was like a grab bag.
270
:There was like, here's the stuff we have left to release for TSW before it shuts down.
271
:It was like, and then it was as an issue.
272
:think that actually did do better.
273
:Yeah.
274
:Well, exactly.
275
:They bundled side stories into issue 15 issue 15 had a whole bunch of shit, but it was
just better to like culled an issue and do it that way.
276
:Then try and sling a bunch of individual shit out for five bucks or whatever.
277
:you're saying you have issues.
278
:it.
279
:Always.
280
:I'm saying I want more issues.
281
:More issues.
282
:wish I had more issues.
283
:So another thing, because of that thing of making it valuable, we're also going to do some
new classes for 5E's, what you call them.
284
:And for Savage Worlds, it'll be like edges or backgrounds.
285
:OK.
286
:And one of the focuses is like we've had people say, what about non-B characters?
287
:Because obviously in the video game, that's the focus, but that's not the, as I talked to
Josh, I think we had a call.
288
:obviously bees aren't the only protagonists that exist, but that's what the video game is
dealing with.
289
:Right.
290
:Cause they don't want to design 20 different types of things.
291
:They already have, you know, these different ways of making it work.
292
:So we're, we're, we're exploring some like a purely normal human Illuminati operative, for
example.
293
:Okay.
294
:So that idea of like, okay, so I may be around,
295
:to use the idea of like Star Wars or something in that idea of, there's Jedi over there,
but I want to be the smuggler.
296
:want to be the, Yep.
297
:And like, may have the superpowers over here, but I just want to be the normal guy who is
also powered, who is also skilled.
298
:Yeah.
299
:I'll be Boba Fett.
300
:Give me some cool gear, maybe.
301
:Yeah.
302
:think the, wouldn't the Sigurd version of that be like the Phoenicians or something?
303
:Well, I mean, obviously there are people who work for the Illuminati who aren't bees.
304
:That's very much a fact that we know that they recruit bees because they're useful, but
their bulk of their operation isn't bees.
305
:was just thinking outside of the main three factions, You have Venice, think is primarily
non-bee, the council.
306
:And they use these as their administration outside.
307
:It is not going to before the stream, you go into Venice, Mikey, you saw like the Mason
representative.
308
:If you go into Venice in the game, there's like regular people with like different tags on
them hanging out in Venice as like representatives of different parts of the secret world
309
:sort of faction bases.
310
:Including I think there's some that say they're journalists or something if I'm not
thinking That could be something and then you know, could be interesting to do is for
311
:example stretch goals now I'm this idea down this way.
312
:These conversations are good I'm gonna go look now.
313
:I'm almost positive when you walk into Venice waffle.
314
:Let's field trip
315
:Almost positive when you walk into Venice, there's like someone with like a like a
journalist.
316
:Badger something hanging out there.
317
:But it it'll be interesting to see like stretch goal like if we're doing crazy like hey,
why don't we add this other class?
318
:I mean we don't want too many of those.
319
:Because there's a lot of work and making a class for 5E.
320
:It's very easy to build something for Savage Worlds Savage Worlds.
321
:It's one or two edges and you're good to go.
322
:I mean you've made it.
323
:With 5e, it's about balancing and building a lot of different abilities.
324
:And something just don't translate.
325
:Druids are definitely on a list, but I don't know if we're doing them with North.
326
:I don't think we're going to those with North America.
327
:But maybe a witch?
328
:you know, a Bostonian witch maybe, you know, like, what you call Salem, Salem style,
something like that possibly.
329
:And then maybe some kind of shaman, North American shaman type thing.
330
:Well, again, it's all about really looking at it see what makes best sense lot.
331
:A lot of it's like we have a pretty good idea that that might be cool.
332
:Now let's let's sit down and see how we really make this work.
333
:It might say, as I like to say, it's crap, it again.
334
:So we may take the idea and toss it when we finally get down to it.
335
:So yeah, there's things like that for the player bases to give us something more fun for
them too, not just for the GM to handle.
336
:So locations, adventures, player options, and then actual, there's even a sort of a mini
adventure we're talking about where it's, each location might have three, and I say an
337
:adventure, it's gonna probably be like two or three paragraphs describing something that
could happen in this location.
338
:so that the GM can say, if I go to New Orleans, here's three ideas that could happen there
and same with Tampa and whatever.
339
:So that as the book is going to give the GM a ton to do, plus we're going to have the
three adventures plus this over the next year, we should be releasing those 12 one sheets.
340
:And so then we could also Sorry, my daughter was asking something I lost my train of
thought The 12 the 12 one sheets and the the three adventures.
341
:and we're gonna get contagion converted to 5e probably with the Kickstarter as well
because that was the world's one and So I'll just wrap up doing that as part of that so
342
:that the 5e players can have that and going forward
343
:everything will be done at the same time.
344
:So there won't be a...
345
:So they'll be concurrent instead of having two separate Kickstarters.
346
:Right.
347
:And you won't have to wait to see, they got contagious, but we didn't.
348
:That's what we're just going to do at the same time.
349
:We're also...
350
:I'll just put this out there so people know we're going to...
351
:I want to rework some stuff with the 5ebook.
352
:I think we could do better.
353
:That was our first Kickstarter.
354
:Of course.
355
:There's ways we can improve it.
356
:So we'll probably put in the format to match the Savage world size book Because that the
reason that sounds weird like why would you that we either have to match the 5e size or
357
:the Savage world size because Every time we do layout if we do it for two different size
books We're doing two different complete layouts what the lore is all the same Why am I
358
:redoing lore for a bigger page for a smaller page?
359
:We could just copy paste the lore over if there's no stats in it.
360
:That's gonna make it
361
:more efficient for us to deliver the book to you guys sooner, for example, when we do
stuff.
362
:Makes sense to me.
363
:Yeah.
364
:Every book reduces my costs, which I like.
365
:Because the more money we save, the more stuff I can make.
366
:So just different things I'm learning as I go on how we can streamline our process and
improve so that we can deliver faster and more stuff.
367
:Excellent.
368
:What does does my say?
369
:Obviously, Tampa requires somebody to do with a Florida man report.
370
:Yes.
371
:I mean, that really should be part of it.
372
:Yeah.
373
:Florida Florida man cryptid Florida man cryptid.
374
:You realize every news report is actually the same man is actually the same man.
375
:Right.
376
:Shape shifter.
377
:Yeah.
378
:Shape shifter and doppelganger just keeps cloning himself and coming back for more
problems.
379
:They actually just use the Florida man report to cover up the scripted that keeps doing
things.
380
:Actually, that's a good idea.
381
:write that down.
382
:man.
383
:There's that comedian that did a whole bit.
384
:I love it so much.
385
:It's like a really long segment too.
386
:It's like 20 minutes or something, but it's on a guy in Florida that attempted to rob a
Wendy's through the drive-through with an alligator.
387
:I mean, there's so many things wrong with that story from the get go and then you an
alligator in there.
388
:Yeah, so so he was like, give me your money.
389
:And they're like, no.
390
:He's like, I've got his alligator.
391
:They're like, and then he chucked the alligator through there.
392
:But then he didn't have an alligator anymore.
393
:So they still wouldn't give him the money.
394
:Like, are you just giving us an alligator?
395
:And then so like the.
396
:So again, there's this comedian, Shane something.
397
:He does an amazing set like on this story, like describing it from like from the point of
view of the people in line behind the guy in the drive-thru.
398
:Yeah, watching that.
399
:But the greatest part about the end is the fact that like they caught the guy pretty
quickly and the...
400
:And in the newspaper articles like no drugs involved.
401
:Are you sure about that?
402
:Sure.
403
:No discernible drugs involved.
404
:without drugs involved is attempting to rob a Wendy's drive through with an alligator.
405
:Jesus Christ.
406
:What happens when you're on drugs?
407
:See in here, I thought we referred to waffle as Florida man.
408
:I mean, I used to live in Florida.
409
:Florida man makes RPG and calls it the secret world.
410
:That's right.
411
:So yeah, that's awesome.
412
:That's a bit, you know, that we got our list of, you know, cryptids.
413
:Charged with attempted Florida manning.
414
:like that.
415
:Jersey Devil.
416
:Shadlock Dark Watchers.
417
:That's one that's what I'm very familiar with.
418
:Jersey Devil.
419
:Jersey Devil.
420
:It's my neck of the woods.
421
:We'll see what again.
422
:Those all sound good right now and we'll probably be in there, but.
423
:things can change.
424
:mean, had a, we had originally, and I was unaware of this and I don't know how much it
applies or not, but we had, you know, I'd read stuff about cryptids and you know, evil
425
:lizard people trying to take over the world and all that stuff.
426
:I will.
427
:That's it.
428
:That sounds interesting.
429
:And, we got several messages from people saying, well, you know, that's the thing about
Jewish people.
430
:And I was like, I've never heard that before.
431
:So we dumped it because we didn't want to.
432
:go down the path of some, you know, being supposedly it was some kind of ethnic slur thing
to say that I was completely unaware of that.
433
:So I'd never heard that before.
434
:So said, well, since that's being said, let's not do that.
435
:So sometimes we might have an idea that, you know, I haven't heard something that some old
men still say, well, let's change what we're doing.
436
:yeah, sometimes.
437
:Yeah, especially when you're dealing with history that it can get, it can get tricky at
times.
438
:Yeah, well, I think it's more of a
439
:mixing of conspiracy theories that have come before it was just some weird conspiracy
theory and from what I understood a more recent person started equating that to something
440
:and it's merged that into a problem now which it might and me being older probably when I
heard about it I just heard weird lizard people I mean I remember the there was the old TV
441
:show Land of the Lost and the bad guys were weird alien lizards yeah yeah yeah so my mind
I'm thinking well
442
:that thing but they take on human form.
443
:You know, I don't think anything bad and I'm there's also looking at like Mark Zuckerberg.
444
:He's a lizard person.
445
:Yeah, I mean, in a human suit.
446
:Wasn't there a show like, was it V rising or something?
447
:V, well, that's the redo.
448
:V was originally the V visitors was, yeah, they were essentially lizards, aliens, bad
guys.
449
:So yeah, I mean, that was like, that's been a constant thing and stuff for a long time
that I heard back from, I can remember.
450
:No, but I get you're saying.
451
:at some point, if it's.
452
:If it's just a little too close to.
453
:Current events, I guess, right?
454
:OK, I have a good example of this, so I like to sometimes like watch reactions like I like
to watch people enjoy shows that I that I like, right?
455
:So I do like watch reaction videos or something on YouTube on board and started watching
people watching Archer so we like Archer.
456
:So you experience it for the first time again through someone else's viewpoint.
457
:But the agency was called ISIS for like the first, I don't know how many seasons, because
ISIS wasn't a thing when that show was Right, right, yeah.
458
:And you see people nowadays reacting to like episode one and they're like, what the shit
is this?
459
:Why is this called ISIS?
460
:yeah, you can't do that.
461
:And they did have to change the agency's, like the show had to change the agency's name.
462
:Yeah.
463
:Even though it had been on for years.
464
:because you have to react to the world around you.
465
:Language has meaning.
466
:Language is important.
467
:I knew a person whose name was ISIS.
468
:That's unfortunate.
469
:Because ISIS is what?
470
:It's an Egyptian goddess?
471
:Listen, my name is Brandon and my kids say, let's go Brandon.
472
:We'll leave it at that.
473
:We're not going to take it further.
474
:saying, I'm seeing all these flags.
475
:I saw these flags around one time and I hadn't heard the stories like, wow, why do people
like my name so much?
476
:Yeah.
477
:You just felt this overwhelming support, you know?
478
:Yeah, I so important.
479
:All these guys riding around lifted trucks with the flags.
480
:You know, they like me.
481
:They really, like me.
482
:So anyway, there's so as we go through stuff, we look at stuff and go, hey, you know, when
you're dealing with mythologies, there's what it used to mean.
483
:what it means now, how people are perceiving it now at the time of writing.
484
:So even if something I write now that might seem great, we put in a book, know, 10 years
from now we go, gosh, I would have written that if I'd known the future.
485
:Yeah.
486
:But, yeah.
487
:I mean, look, when I first started working on this, I would rotate the different symbols
for the factions as my, symbol and my, on Facebook, like for my name, whatever, I don't
488
:usually put my mug on there.
489
:Nobody really wants to see it that much.
490
:So I put up the dragon and I put up the Illuminati, which no one reacted to, but I put up
the temporal one and I got the whole you're a Nazi.
491
:my gosh.
492
:there's been a large adoption of that symbolism in that group now to the Vikings and
crosses and Viking mythology and cross mythology.
493
:okay.
494
:Tempars is being adopted.
495
:so there's a lot of negative.
496
:negative people who will grab a symbol that they quote unquote powerful whatever and they
adopt it and now yet we can't take it out of the game here.
497
:Literally as part of the story and I mean so we have to say look that's not what that
means we're based on this we're have to ignore that but there are things we can just say
498
:hey we don't need that you know and we can bypass it so.
499
:Yeah, so they had switch their messenger logo because people were probably saying garbage.
500
:And so I had a bad reaction from someone time.
501
:I took it down.
502
:Now I put it up again because I realized it was just a few people overreacting, but some
people will make a big deal out of something and not bother to ask you what you mean by
503
:it.
504
:So you got to adapt.
505
:That happens.
506
:Yeah.
507
:Which, which makes writing for RPGs, especially an RPG that deals with secret societies,
the conspiracy theory is really tricky.
508
:I actually thought that,
509
:That was one of my ideas as far as like, know, because here in Secret World, the game
itself, Secret World Legends, that the last piece of content we received was in South
510
:Africa.
511
:And it was, when did they release that?
512
:A while ago.
513
:Yeah, I'll just say a while ago.
514
:2018?
515
:South Africa?
516
:Dawn of the Morning Light was 2018, yes.
517
:Yeah.
518
:Yeah.
519
:So it's been, you know, it has, it's been a while.
520
:But, and I always thought that that's why, like, and they were like, we're going to go to
the Congo next.
521
:The Congo in real life is not exactly, you know, going through a good time right now, to
say the least.
522
:And so...
523
:I really think the part of the reason why we haven't seen anything so far is because the
areas of the world ...
524
:that they want to go to the areas of this world are sort of.
525
:tricky, you know, like, yeah, for like, for the same reason.
526
:It's like, they don't want to, you know, have something come out and then all of sudden,
you know, have like, gosh, how dare you.
527
:It's like releasing a world ending movie about hurricanes right after hurricane hit part
of the, you know, hit part of American killed 100 people that movie launched right then,
528
:because it's too close to that time.
529
:My wife said this the other day and we're big into musicals.
530
:We do like our Broadway musicals.
531
:And there's a Broadway musical called Assassins.
532
:And it's a big Stephen Sondheim musical and Stephen Sondheim is one of the biggest in the
business.
533
:they were going to do, they were going to make a theatrical movie release of Assassins and
then 9-11 happened.
534
:And they were like, nope, we're not doing it.
535
:You
536
:And right, yeah, they altered Lilo and Stitch.
537
:Yeah, Lilo and Stitch, there was a big scene in that.
538
:They had to alter it.
539
:Yeah, was the Right post 9-11 as well.
540
:Yeah.
541
:The plane, instead of going through the city of like, Honolulu, is going through random
valleys, mountains and stuff like that instead.
542
:Right, instead of going through a major downtown area.
543
:Yeah.
544
:Isn't the biggest one from 9-11, wouldn't that be like the Spider-Man?
545
:Spider-Man movie at the time?
546
:Yeah.
547
:Because the trailer, the original trailers had the towers in it.
548
:Right.
549
:did digital.
550
:And then that that all had to be like redone.
551
:They're like, nope.
552
:Yeah, there's you'll see any number of cultural or, you know, natural events can occur.
553
:And then you have to look at what you're writing at that time.
554
:Right.
555
:is now the time to do this and go probably not.
556
:Or this was like I started writing my sci fi setting Starbreaker.
557
:20 something years ago.
558
:And I was.
559
:mostly educated high school in Florida.
560
:And I thought, you know, it'd be really interesting is the name the planets, the
Confederate systems Alliance.
561
:And eventually become the United system that'll become the United systems Alliance, just a
little play on CSA USA.
562
:And for obvious reasons, as I got older and read history, said, let's not do that.
563
:You're like, maybe I shouldn't joke around about that.
564
:Well, it wasn't a joke.
565
:just, I, know, in Florida, they said it's only about state's rights.
566
:Right, right.
567
:Yeah.
568
:And the right was to do things that are not nice.
569
:So my point is, as you read and learn, so if you go, I drilled down further and to get
that's not something I want to deal with.
570
:So I changed how I wrote that a long time ago.
571
:I mean, that never came out like that.
572
:Obviously, the whole story changed and then you write something.
573
:But had I written it, then it wasn't a big deal that nobody would have batted an eye back
then.
574
:Mm hmm.
575
:Perfectly would have been perfect.
576
:Starcraft had the Confederate flag for the
577
:And the first one is why in the first game they were they had a Confederate flag.
578
:And nobody remembers that because they don't share that anymore.
579
:No, that got changed.
580
:That's why, you know, and then and then you'll people claiming, you know, censorship or
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
581
:Yeah.
582
:So that's why you're doing anything that uses real history, doing anything that uses real
places, which secret world as part of the whole brand is that it's real places.
583
:It's.
584
:real myth, it's real legends, it's real, you know, like that real real real myths.
585
:Real fake stories.
586
:mean, real fake stuff.
587
:I mean, yeah, you just it just takes you look at and go, does that seem good today?
588
:So yeah, it's been a lot going through it.
589
:And I mean, you know, it's going to take a lot more work.
590
:The reason one of the reasons why The Dragon and Asia are going to be the third book we do
and not the first.
591
:is because that's going to take some, I'm gonna have to find some people that say, Hey,
this cool idea you have.
592
:Yeah.
593
:That's not really a cool idea.
594
:It looks cool to you from all your pop culture, but people may not like that idea.
595
:know, you need it.
596
:You need like a focus group, right?
597
:To turn around and say, Hey, at least, at least avoid some of the, the, worst tropes that,
know, or because the other thing is, you know, sometimes things we think are bad.
598
:Some for the culture, they know it's not bad.
599
:You just think it is, but I still have to explore.
600
:that it's a little easier.
601
:You don't want to pull a Ubisoft.
602
:That's what you're saying.
603
:Yeah, try not to.
604
:mean, try not to.
605
:And so it's going to it's going to be something where we're still going have something to
say, well, I don't like X.
606
:And I'm like, well, we didn't we didn't know you didn't like X.
607
:But no harm is intended.
608
:We'll do our best.
609
:So I think it'll be pretty good with, you know, most that's another reason why I started
with America is easier.
610
:We can just touch on other subjects and kind of go with a broad brush and try and stay
away from the trickier subjects.
611
:So if you've said we didn't go very deep on this particular thing as well because we don't
have the tools to go deep enough into that one and feel safe or good about it.
612
:So you can fill it in the way you want and we're just going to go over broadly and you can
go and deep rotted if you want to.
613
:So I mean every mythology was someone's religion.
614
:Right.
615
:And if and hey I mean that's part of that's part of what tabletop is is that if you
616
:have that, you know, if you are,
617
:What am I trying to say?
618
:we're well, I it's able to, you can run your table and you can run your own stories.
619
:And if you have a specific thing that you know a lot about and you're comfortable with
running, yeah.
620
:Then by, all means, like, you know, use that story, use that setting.
621
:And you can go as deep and dark as you want into it, your own table.
622
:If your people are happy with it.
623
:mean, there are storylines are the mature group can handle and could be really awesome
stories, but that's not for everyone.
624
:Like when I run to the convention, I'm like,
625
:Okay, we're going to go to surface level here.
626
:We're not going very dark.
627
:We're going to focus more on the action.
628
:We're not going to, know, trust.
629
:mean, I ran contagion at the convention, which was pretty dark because you're after a
young woman who's infected and you have to stop her by any means necessary before you
630
:caught.
631
:But I mean, there's those, there's levels you like, well, I guess it will, how old is she?
632
:said, well, she's, she's not a child.
633
:She's an adult.
634
:Cause you make her like 14.
635
:people get weirded out, which I personally do.
636
:law by law Biden citizen off camera, they let you know that they're killing his daughter.
637
:I almost walked out of the theater.
638
:I couldn't take it.
639
:I got kids and I don't see that.
640
:And they didn't show anything.
641
:Obviously they're not going to be, you I was like, no, I don't want that.
642
:I don't want to watch a movie about this.
643
:Yeah.
644
:and so there's, there's things that you just, everyone has their limits.
645
:And I, I played a D and D game, for example, where for two years,
646
:the mage was absolutely evil mage doing terrible things and I was playing a paladin who's
supposed to be the good guy.
647
:I played my character so what I knew as a player was different from my character knew.
648
:I knew as a player he was doing terrible things.
649
:My character they always were careful to hide stuff from me and that was a really cool and
intense story because by the end he took over some demons abilities and you know terrible
650
:things happen but that was fun because I was mature enough
651
:And the rest of group was to let the story play out and not be offended as a person.
652
:But there are other people who conflate the two too much together and it can be very
negative.
653
:So you just have to know your group.
654
:Right.
655
:Right.
656
:It's kind of like separating the actor from.
657
:Yes.
658
:character.
659
:Yeah.
660
:Yeah.
661
:There's people who meet their favorite star on the street and they think they're going to
be just like they are on their show.
662
:And I mean, why Mark Hamill is really cool, for example, from Star Wars.
663
:He's not Luke Skywalker.
664
:Mm-hmm.
665
:Yeah, he's not gonna be the wise old Jedi when he moves.
666
:He's kind of a goofy guy when you see him in interviews, which is cool He's very friendly.
667
:I mean, but he's not that character and you know But that's what your expectation is.
668
:Yeah, it's a problem.
669
:So you hopefully your plan of people's role playing is very
670
:Wait, what?
671
:He's not?
672
:mean, I played that same D &D game with the same group for two and a half years back when
I was 18 and on up, like I was 20.
673
:And we would play every Saturday and Sunday, sometimes 12 hours at a pop.
674
:So you get, you literally live this whole life with these characters as they go through
all these events together.
675
:You feel like you explored this castle together as GM.
676
:And so your character is really true to take on lot of personality.
677
:So it can be.
678
:If you can't separate yourself, can get really intense.
679
:People can get very angry.
680
:I mean, I played a game with a player one time who was playing his characters as very
negative person.
681
:And he just told me to shut the F up one time in a game.
682
:And I was like, whoa, wait a minute.
683
:that character?
684
:Was that you?
685
:Slow down.
686
:Were you telling me to or you're telling my character?
687
:Wait, where are we at?
688
:So.
689
:You but we talked about it and said, this seems a little personal.
690
:need to do some like OOC brackets.
691
:Yeah, exactly.
692
:This is, wait, was that out of character?
693
:You really hate me.
694
:It's a really cool hobby.
695
:It lets you explore worlds and build things together and have all these memories together
of all these things you did.
696
:Same as when you do the video game, except for you can tell more in-depth stories that
your characters have more control over.
697
:General speaking.
698
:Very nice, very nice.
699
:I'm also chuckling over here because a waffle, they change what you look like.
700
:really?
701
:And me as well, even though I'm still tiny.
702
:Keep me tiny, please.
703
:you're, what's her face?
704
:From,
705
:This is it.
706
:my God.
707
:Sorry.
708
:Hold on.
709
:Leith spawned on me.
710
:Crap.
711
:Your what's her face from?
712
:Shattered Forest.
713
:She's across the lake with the wagon.
714
:Cricket has to be ill at it.
715
:Anastasia.
716
:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
717
:So other than that, does anyone have any questions?
718
:Because I kind of covered broadly, you know.
719
:You did.
720
:You did a good job.
721
:So you mentioned loosely that there was maybe some more classes.
722
:And that's part of the, said new player options are coming.
723
:Right.
724
:What would, so can you share what one of these like new classes would be or what some of
these in Savage Worlds, they're the.
725
:So arcane background established worlds for the powered ones or, you know, it's just to
put another group edges get put together.
726
:Edges.
727
:That's what it was.
728
:Yeah.
729
:Yeah.
730
:Well, I mean, I mentioned that, you know, we're looking at the Bostonian witch or the
Illuminati operative.
731
:Things like that are definitely being considered likely to be made.
732
:But again, we could go back and say, this just doesn't work.
733
:So, I mean, everything I'm sharing is like one thing I do want to do is, for example,
734
:Now that 5e's really kind of come out with, and again this is just me looking at things
I'd like to do.
735
:5e's done a thing where the weapons have special abilities and effects and I'd really like
to play that up and take what we did with Savage World's version where the weapons kind of
736
:define some of your powers and abilities, or more so in Savage World, less so, not at all
in D &D.
737
:Similar to when you change those out in the video game.
738
:I'd kind of like to have that weapon maybe grant you're a cantrip or something or you
know, very, very focused on the way like you get the pistol, you get to do X.
739
:and so, and I'd also like to do maybe like where we have the nine different, you know,
yeah, chaos magic, elemental, chaos elemental and blood magic.
740
:And then you have your, you know, your pistol or your shotgun and your rifle, et cetera.
741
:Anyway,
742
:It would be interesting if we could add three more.
743
:items that like I don't know what a new magic would be or like a magic that's not even in
the game.
744
:Yeah.
745
:Okay.
746
:And then possibly do something like that with a, Hey, we got, you know, you've got
knuckles, you've got a sword, you've got, know, whatever.
747
:What if we said, well, you know, ancient weapons exist.
748
:What about if we had a bow?
749
:I mean, somebody wants to use a bow and have a magic focus with that.
750
:Would that be something that existed before?
751
:But in modern times isn't really used, but someone's brought it back.
752
:I mean, you know, because bees have been around for a while.
753
:You know, technically, I guess the whole the whole point of the focus is not necessarily
that, this is a it's a it's a it's it's simply a really a focus for your power.
754
:Right.
755
:So it could be anything.
756
:It's just then you have to theme it to work in a way that makes sense to a degree for that
item.
757
:Like what if someone got a quarter staff?
758
:Would that be a cool new melee type thing to have?
759
:Would that be interesting in the game?
760
:Would it not be?
761
:Massac had a good question here.
762
:He is he plan to able to grab the base book with the new Kickstarter?
763
:Yeah, absolutely.
764
:So they got the 5e but didn't get the Savage Worlds.
765
:Well, so we will, you don't need to have Savage Worlds, you can have Savage Worlds or 5e,
whichever you want.
766
:either one,
767
:You have to like with with 5e we put all the rules in the book With savage worlds, you
have to buy the core rule book as far as how the rules work from pinnacle You know savage
768
:world suede But The if you say hey, I want savage worlds right now for example with my
current kickstarter We're doing the late backer for that sci-fi one.
769
:You can click and buy
770
:Or you can buy it on Drive Thru RPG, the books and stuff if you want.
771
:You don't have to wait.
772
:But, you know, for example, so if you say, I want that, you can go buy it.
773
:Sure.
774
:And but we will make a package that says, catch up.
775
:You didn't get this.
776
:You can get all of it now.
777
:Plus the new stuff.
778
:Okay.
779
:Because why wouldn't we let you spend more money?
780
:Yeah, right.
781
:Why would we stop you?
782
:No, to throw money at you and you're not letting us.
783
:Yeah.
784
:Shut up and take my money.
785
:So, yeah.
786
:I see, but yeah, it reminds me of, and you may not know this, you may know this, I don't
know.
787
:In the original Secret World, they sort of had something relative to that, what they
called auxiliary weapons, which we don't have in Secret World Legends.
788
:Well, were...
789
:Sort of, we do.
790
:Sort of, sort of.
791
:There's like part-time.
792
:There was what, a whip?
793
:There was...
794
:Flamethrower?
795
:Rocket launcher.
796
:Chainsaw.
797
:And the brazier, yeah.
798
:it was like a magic brazier.
799
:Tabletop role playing, I don't think maybe the rocket launcher and or...
800
:Like this is my standard weapon, my rocket launcher.
801
:You could absolutely do the rocket launcher because we made an ability where you can hide
your item in a pocket dimension.
802
:OK.
803
:And since well, that explains why players in the video games want my focus swords and
hammers that no one ever sees until they pull it out.
804
:So, yeah, we did.
805
:There is one ability you can actually hide in the Savage Worlds when hide it in a pocket
dimension.
806
:Pull it out.
807
:There it is.
808
:That was worse like this like video game explanation, but you know It's the bag of bolting
Yeah, yeah It's just your pocket really I Do have the I do have the art for some bracers
809
:We do have that those could be that could be interesting That would be interesting if you
want to quantum bracers was like was really sad because it was One of the coolest looking
810
:ones and the mission for it was one of the best
811
:but it was the most useless to actually use in Well, that's the cool thing about, you
know, an RPG.
812
:We can make it as bad we want.
813
:You can make it useful.
814
:Yeah, the quantum the quantum bracer was a healing thing and it was bad at it Not only was
it not damaged right which It was heal only and it was bad at healing.
815
:So like it was just a bad Here it is.
816
:Yeah, the mission for it.
817
:The mission for it was cool.
818
:Shit the actual like Aesthetic of it was cool.
819
:It just had really bad abilities Well, we can change that all we want so that won't be a
problem
820
:Even had its own Had its own like monster Or the mission where you get it.
821
:It's like a quantum enemy The only time you ever see it in the game like the model still
in legends like you can make it like show up with photo mode I like I like the image of
822
:Hell's flamethrower right here.
823
:I'm looking at
824
:Yeah, the weapons had different skins for the Ox weapons.
825
:Yeah.
826
:So like you could get like a you could have like an Orochi, you know, flamethrower or, you
know, demonic one or like, the Soviet, the Soviet one skins were pretty cool.
827
:Like a Soviet chainsaw was was pretty nice.
828
:Here's the darkness wars.
829
:Quantum weapon.
830
:Yeah.
831
:Waffle.
832
:I'm pretty much sure you were changed to that creature.
833
:Which one?
834
:Waffles in first person over here.
835
:there you go.
836
:Nice.
837
:That is the character from the Quantum Bracer mission.
838
:He comes out like a quantum thing and starts shooting at you.
839
:That's the only time you ever saw him in the game is if you did the mission.
840
:I was wondering because my screen jumped a little bit like, what happened here?
841
:Well, I mean, think stuff like that there's things we can play with and add to and or
yeah, yeah, this is stuff that's stuff that's in the game, you know, I mean, what we could
842
:do is like if, for example, instead of say making a new weapon, you have your pistol.
843
:But if you get this version of it, you get extra abilities that you wouldn't have like,
you know, could say like, hey, here's here's here's the ability for the sword.
844
:But if you get the chain sword, it also does this.
845
:You know, there's different because one thing I want to be careful is that people are
like, well, make it I've had some people make it work exactly like the game video game.
846
:Like, well, this isn't a video game.
847
:And other people said they have told me I made it too much like the video game.
848
:I'm like, well, it's still I don't think that's true either.
849
:But you try and find the balance between what works best for the tabletop, but gives
enough to the game for those that can appreciate it and just keeps things all organized,
850
:you know, kind of thematically the same.
851
:So there's that.
852
:It makes a sound I know I'm talking about.
853
:I would say that would always be an issue, right?
854
:Trying to go from one genre to another, essentially.
855
:Yeah, I mean, you don't have the, for example, in the video game, your powers have like a
timer and they react and they reuse them over and over and over again.
856
:And that same amount of time that you've used that weapon in a video game,
857
:You would never use it that much in a role-playing game.
858
:And we also have to limit the power points or something in the game to give it some, to
give that, that timing is going be different in a role-playing game because you have to
859
:leave that resource management as part of always role-playing, playing a role-playing
game.
860
:So you want to have, you don't want it to be so easy that they can just spam that attack a
hundred times.
861
:It would be unmanageable on a tabletop.
862
:It's like a video game where something else is handling all the roles and the damage
you're just clicking, you know, so you have to, it's going to play differently.
863
:It just gives you sort of a feeling of that, but not a copy of that.
864
:Yeah, because you can't really shoehorn one system into another, like video game
characteristics into tabletop too well.
865
:Vomr says, but you can spam Eldritch Blast in D &D.
866
:But only once per round.
867
:Yeah, not 20 times per round.
868
:You know, you know, so you're you're doing it.
869
:What do they call that?
870
:The.
871
:You see.
872
:It's a cantrip.
873
:The cantrips, the cantrips.
874
:That's a cantrip.
875
:I was thinking like the global cooldown.
876
:I mean, we have that too, technically.
877
:It's just our global cooldown is not a round.
878
:It's a a it's a second.
879
:Right.
880
:game.
881
:The video game does have a have a GCD.
882
:It's just of a second.
883
:Yeah.
884
:When you're playing with.
885
:I think I think D &D rounds are probably longer than a second.
886
:Well, it doesn't matter how long it supposedly represents us how long does take everyone
to roll their dice add their damage and tell the GM what's going on and that could be
887
:okay, so 20 minutes I played with a person who when they would roll their dice and were 15
minutes waiting for them to do that one roll
888
:So yeah, it's a thing, definitely.
889
:So I mean, that's always that's always usually loosen in tabletop anyway, that it's like
one round equals six seconds.
890
:And it's like, yeah, yeah.
891
:that's why I used to roll a D10.
892
:And then you'd know that you're going on this six second thing.
893
:And yeah, it's it.
894
:You know each game to tries to tell you to is that like for example in D &D you make your
attack and someone says well I Swing my sword and I hit them for eight points of damage It
895
:never represented actual damage but it's it's such an abstract way of doing it because the
whole the whole representation is more like You may not have actually but people will say
896
:I hit him with my sword for damage and it gives the idea that sort of say it's some free
points of damage So I hit this normal human for eight points and they're dead, but I hit
897
:you for eight points and you're fine
898
:because it never was actually damage.
899
:It's you dodged, you parried, you're getting tired.
900
:You're supposed to, and because we all described it as damage, it feels like, in six
seconds you hit them, you'll hit them once.
901
:Right.
902
:That takes six seconds.
903
:It's supposed to be, you're supposed to, you know, understand that it's more going on, but
that's not the way it's ever really explained when people play it.
904
:So you, you, if you were to take the time and explain, if you explain it every time is
that intricate and all that stuff too, it also takes too long.
905
:So time to time you just say,
906
:Like you take eight damage, but that damage isn't actually like, you know, you just got
your arm sliced open, right?
907
:You know, you got pushed, you got kicked, you blocked with your sword, but it hurts your
arm because you get like stabbed through the chest.
908
:Yeah, it's the stab something that you still come back from.
909
:No, I'm the Kool-Aid man and I lost this amount of my liquid out of it.
910
:That's when it gets empty.
911
:I am dead.
912
:But that is why we're on the other hand.
913
:Savage rules.
914
:freaking me!
915
:That's why Savage Worlds, think one thing I do like about that is that you have three
wounds.
916
:Yes.
917
:Yeah.
918
:Everyone's essentially the same.
919
:There are a couple exceptions where some people can be a little bit tougher, but you're
roughly the same level of, of once you take three wounds, you're down and could be, you
920
:know, the fourth one, you're incapacitated fifth when you're So it's just how hard it is
to actually hurt you.
921
:And so it's just,
922
:Different ways can different games can represent different things.
923
:So it's interesting.
924
:I'm looking at another system for I'm interested for something later on as well.
925
:So there's just different ways of representing everything.
926
:It's the fun part.
927
:The mechanics I pay people to be smarter than me to figure it out and say, I like this
idea.
928
:Will it work?
929
:And they say yes or no.
930
:smarter people than we do everything.
931
:Now, I will point out someone asked earlier today.
932
:mean, yeah, we were talking about, don't, I don't play the video game anymore.
933
:I don't want to put on my computer too many problems trying to make it work.
934
:And I can't have my computer go down.
935
:I've got gigs of art and other stuff.
936
:I just, don't have the time to mess with anything that messes anything up.
937
:And so they're like, well, how do you, how do you, you know, create this without having
the source material?
938
:Like, well, that's not true because number one, when I first got the license and they
were, you know,
939
:They were joking, think, or maybe they were serious.
940
:don't know.
941
:And my answer is, well, of course I have the source material because my wife plays and she
has three level 50 characters.
942
:But there was a reason why I waited two years before we even made the book is because I
was looking for people that were actually they played or in my case, the case, Josh writes
943
:it, you know, put it in there.
944
:You glowing I have been turned into a what I think is a bowl of soup.
945
:I think it's a bowl of soup.
946
:Yeah.
947
:Yeah I'm just a jumping bowl of soup Well, there's you're gonna be empty our soup will be
on the floor and you'll die we just talked about that It's a call back to this this
948
:comment Mikey stop swimming in me
949
:I was sorry across the floor negative 6 HP.
950
:Sorry, I had to I had to I had to do that.
951
:Yeah, there was sort of there was a quite a little discussion that came up in our in our
discord earlier.
952
:I was feeling it coming to be like guys calm down calm down It's just a matter of like,
you know, I found people that I knew like I kept I was like hey You got anyone who
953
:actually does this stuff?
954
:mean vomer early on had me pestering the heck out of them and I ended up getting a hold of
Josh and Josh became our Resident guru which worked out well because of the amount of you
955
:know direct connection with Funcom there's definitely good for us as far as getting stuff
done
956
:And then you know, of course, like I said, I I asked my wife is this a good idea she goes
no No, she'll say no No, you don't know about this it's like like listen I what I played
957
:secret world with her.
958
:Mm-hmm.
959
:I don't like puzzles Yeah, I'm not the puzzle guy.
960
:I'm the guy who when you're going to a fight I go who am I supposed to kill?
961
:Okay, that's how I play most of my video games, which is why I mostly play ruminant now I
kill stuff
962
:And I was like, okay, you solve the puzzle while I fight so and so, you know, and and and
puzzles are great.
963
:I think they're amazing.
964
:If you like them, do more puzzles.
965
:Yeah, 10,000 puzzles, Moamer.
966
:But that's not me on your team.
967
:I'm the guy who's fighting the bad stuff while you solve the puzzle.
968
:So, you know, that's just the way I like to play games.
969
:I like to kill it.
970
:And I'm not even a first person shooter.
971
:I like more MMORPGs like worse more to it, but I don't want to.
972
:like solving puzzles and riddles and stuff makes me go crazy.
973
:I want to say when we played with Andy, remember when we did the sort of test game with
Andy, that he was sort of like that same way.
974
:was like, he's like, usually in games, he's like, I just like to play like the, like the,
just hit things character.
975
:Like I just, I just, I just smack everything around.
976
:Absolutely valid way to play and you should enjoy it if you do so long as you're yeah as
long as it works well as whatever team you're playing with you know what mean, like
977
:there's You especially in the game where there is combat you want someone's good at it and
you want some maybe was better at the puzzles and all together You know It as long as
978
:everyone has their role to play it can be great
979
:I still I should have gotten to play in the game that Josh ran that would have been
interesting.
980
:I had to go that day so I didn't get to sit there and listen to it.
981
:apparently I'm not quite sure who was there.
982
:But I did see someone talk about it.
983
:I did see someone basically say, yes, it was awesome.
984
:Yes, it was amazing.
985
:And mostly in Chicago.
986
:What's that?
987
:Old average Joe.
988
:Yes, yes.
989
:He was there.
990
:Yeah, he's on my stream all the time.
991
:Kind of worked out well because Josh, he knew Chicago real well.
992
:He knew the story.
993
:I gave him a crash course on Savage Worlds prior him to running it.
994
:Like, let's do a couple of roles of combat and stuff and all that.
995
:Just kind of showed him how the basic target numbers were achieved.
996
:But he didn't know the rules really well because he doesn't play a lot.
997
:The one of the guys playing it knew the rules really well.
998
:So he was like, we're going to do this.
999
:And I said, yeah, but you got to roll this.
:
00:59:34,665 --> 00:59:35,316
He said, great.
:
00:59:35,316 --> 00:59:36,542
Everyone roll that.
:
00:59:36,542 --> 00:59:37,552
And that's how that went.
:
00:59:37,552 --> 00:59:39,954
That's You know, like, I'm going to go off a year.
:
00:59:39,954 --> 00:59:40,524
That's fine.
:
00:59:40,524 --> 00:59:41,434
Yeah.
:
00:59:41,435 --> 00:59:43,276
You tell me what role I'll tell you how the story goes.
:
00:59:43,276 --> 00:59:48,659
But everybody that and real honestly that again, you don't really have to know the rules
to run the game.
:
00:59:48,659 --> 00:59:51,019
You just have to be consistent in your decisions.
:
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:51,990
Right.
:
00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:52,541
Yeah.
:
00:59:52,541 --> 00:59:52,921
Yeah.
:
00:59:52,921 --> 00:59:55,072
Don't don't change the rules on the players every session.
:
00:59:55,072 --> 00:59:56,522
That's not good.
:
00:59:56,523 --> 00:59:57,463
Yeah.
:
00:59:58,444 --> 01:00:03,126
Or if you're going to do that, make sure you have a nice fancy wheel that you spin.
:
01:00:04,027 --> 01:00:04,468
Yeah.
:
01:00:04,468 --> 01:00:05,708
Best way to do it.
:
01:00:05,940 --> 01:00:11,661
And we're like, aha, so this week, right now, I think I'm going to take that to a
convention.
:
01:00:11,661 --> 01:00:15,901
I'm going to make the wheel of the wheel of doom and roll stuff out.
:
01:00:15,901 --> 01:00:18,041
This is what happens now.
:
01:00:18,041 --> 01:00:20,751
I mean, that's basically what Dark Agartha is, right?
:
01:00:20,751 --> 01:00:23,041
Basically, it's basically a every day.
:
01:00:23,041 --> 01:00:33,161
We a have a dungeon in the game called Dark Agartha, and it's basically a futuristic
version of Agartha, where basically it's almost like the like the end of time,
:
01:00:33,161 --> 01:00:33,502
essentially.
:
01:00:33,502 --> 01:00:35,026
hell, it's broken loose.
:
01:00:35,069 --> 01:00:37,511
Can't wait to get the story in the RPG.
:
01:00:37,511 --> 01:00:38,933
And it's a different timeline.
:
01:00:38,933 --> 01:00:41,915
Every time you go in every day, it's a different timeline.
:
01:00:42,016 --> 01:00:44,557
So it's all it's always messed up.
:
01:00:44,557 --> 01:00:51,683
It's just whatever bosses are there to fight and then whatever modifiers they have is
different in that version.
:
01:00:51,683 --> 01:00:54,586
But the one consistent is it's always fucked.
:
01:00:54,586 --> 01:00:56,167
But the future is fucked.
:
01:00:57,392 --> 01:00:57,972
Sorry, ahead.
:
01:00:57,972 --> 01:01:04,144
mean, Vomers like Darker Garth, there's a potential alternate dark timeline.
:
01:01:04,144 --> 01:01:08,375
But if I write it into the book, it might be the timeline when I'm done writing the book.
:
01:01:08,375 --> 01:01:12,576
No, that's think that's a that's an assumption.
:
01:01:13,016 --> 01:01:14,744
I think that's an assumption bomber.
:
01:01:14,744 --> 01:01:17,317
I think it is the end of our timeline.
:
01:01:17,678 --> 01:01:19,428
I have some ideas what the end of the time.
:
01:01:19,428 --> 01:01:21,529
a potential end of our timeline.
:
01:01:21,529 --> 01:01:22,449
A potential end.
:
01:01:22,449 --> 01:01:26,254
mean, when I had the call way back with
:
01:01:26,254 --> 01:01:29,066
guys at Funcom, they kind of told me how the story is supposed to go.
:
01:01:29,066 --> 01:01:34,251
What the theory was stuff that for whatever reason, I can't say what the specifics they
said were.
:
01:01:34,251 --> 01:01:34,832
Yeah, sure.
:
01:01:34,832 --> 01:01:38,355
I'm not gonna I'm not even gonna ask because I know you can't say they gave they gave me
ideas.
:
01:01:38,355 --> 01:01:39,546
So I know what to work with.
:
01:01:39,546 --> 01:01:41,206
Like this is what we want to do.
:
01:01:41,206 --> 01:01:42,877
And whether that ever happens, I don't know.
:
01:01:42,877 --> 01:01:45,029
But like this was the intended story.
:
01:01:45,029 --> 01:01:49,073
And I'm like, okay, so now that I know that I that did influence the way we wrote some
things.
:
01:01:49,073 --> 01:01:51,056
That's kind of it does influence
:
01:01:51,056 --> 01:01:54,849
the existence of why the choices matter with your character.
:
01:01:54,849 --> 01:01:57,231
But anyway, well, it's like::
01:01:57,231 --> 01:02:01,915
So I enjoy hanging out with you you're amazing, but I think I should probably head out for
the night.
:
01:02:01,915 --> 01:02:02,636
All right.
:
01:02:02,636 --> 01:02:04,997
Well, thank you very much for joining us.
:
01:02:04,997 --> 01:02:07,699
Brandon Verhalen from Star Anvil Studios.
:
01:02:07,699 --> 01:02:08,239
you.
:
01:02:08,239 --> 01:02:15,351
Thank you so much for joining us and enlightening us about what's coming up with the
secret world North America.
:
01:02:15,351 --> 01:02:18,512
I'm going to once more plug the Kickstarter.
:
01:02:18,512 --> 01:02:20,033
Go check it out on Kickstarter.
:
01:02:20,033 --> 01:02:21,393
Not up yet.
:
01:02:21,393 --> 01:02:24,774
Is there any timeline as far as when it might come up next?
:
01:02:24,774 --> 01:02:26,334
Early first quarter.
:
01:02:26,355 --> 01:02:27,015
First quarter.
:
01:02:27,015 --> 01:02:27,511
OK.
:
01:02:27,511 --> 01:02:28,575
All right.
:
01:02:28,575 --> 01:02:32,277
That's definitely going to be first quarter unless something like unless I fall off a
cliff.
:
01:02:32,277 --> 01:02:33,537
It'll be first quarter.
:
01:02:33,537 --> 01:02:35,327
I'll give you a more definitive timeline.
:
01:02:35,327 --> 01:02:36,938
It'll be announced in December.
:
01:02:37,818 --> 01:02:39,775
End of December, I will announce the definitive timeline.
:
01:02:39,775 --> 01:02:41,259
But anyway, thanks for having me.
:
01:02:53,958 --> 01:02:55,014
Excellent.
:
01:02:58,270 --> 01:03:00,082
Secret World North America.
:
01:03:00,082 --> 01:03:00,783
Awesome.
:
01:03:00,783 --> 01:03:01,763
Okay.
:
01:03:02,265 --> 01:03:05,484
And a whole bunch of other stuff we talked about.
:
01:03:07,260 --> 01:03:10,127
As we get changed into random random shit.
:
01:03:10,127 --> 01:03:14,715
I think it was all relatively related.
:
01:03:16,706 --> 01:03:17,448
Off my computer.
:
01:03:17,448 --> 01:03:19,183
Except for possibly the soup thing.
:
01:03:19,183 --> 01:03:21,128
This might not be related.
:
01:03:21,128 --> 01:03:23,072
Soup not necessarily related.
:
01:03:25,984 --> 01:03:27,044
No, actually, that's not true.
:
01:03:27,044 --> 01:03:28,424
It is it is related.
:
01:03:28,424 --> 01:03:35,600
It was related to taking damage in the TDRPG and like the conversation about you took the
blame.
:
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:36,940
I I take great damage.
:
01:03:36,940 --> 01:03:38,931
But what is a damage really?
:
01:03:38,931 --> 01:03:39,461
right, right.
:
01:03:39,461 --> 01:03:39,798
Right.
:
01:03:39,798 --> 01:03:41,552
I hope it happening in a round.
:
01:03:41,552 --> 01:03:42,742
You said you were the late man.
:
01:03:42,742 --> 01:03:45,725
It's like obviously when I lose liquid.
:
01:03:45,725 --> 01:03:50,851
And now now I'm soup and now I'm soup.
:
01:03:50,851 --> 01:03:53,367
That's how that it all ties together.
:
01:03:53,367 --> 01:03:56,016
The Secret World version of Kool-Aid Man, yes.
:
01:03:56,016 --> 01:03:57,580
The bowl of soup.
:
01:03:57,580 --> 01:03:59,755
When my bowl is empty, I am dead.
:
01:04:02,106 --> 01:04:03,127
I said stop.
:
01:04:03,127 --> 01:04:13,101
I think I said stop drinking me my picture that got a response Wasn't expecting that part
they're like stop stop swimming in me I did get a nice I did get a screenshot now that one
:
01:04:13,101 --> 01:04:25,188
got a chuckle, but stop drinking me part Disturbing something he's like what I was in like
the the ravenous
:
01:04:25,188 --> 01:04:26,651
like, stop eating me!
:
01:04:26,651 --> 01:04:27,773
kinda thing.
:
01:04:27,773 --> 01:04:30,026
that's what I was going for.
:
01:04:32,416 --> 01:04:33,547
But no, it was good.
:
01:04:33,547 --> 01:04:35,348
was great having Brandon on.
:
01:04:35,348 --> 01:04:39,910
Yes, but he does understand how we how we are how we roll sometimes.
:
01:04:40,471 --> 01:04:42,392
I sounded like he got a couple ideas.
:
01:04:42,392 --> 01:04:45,534
He mentioned he was taking notes on a couple of things.
:
01:04:45,534 --> 01:04:46,374
yeah.
:
01:04:49,018 --> 01:04:52,340
Sometimes you just let the madness out and things are...
:
01:04:53,418 --> 01:04:56,995
I did like that idea of making Florida Man their own cryptid.
:
01:04:56,995 --> 01:05:01,177
It's just a great idea, really.
:
01:05:05,207 --> 01:05:06,707
All right.
:
01:05:06,788 --> 01:05:14,052
Just like a shape shifting version of the fuck is that guy's name on the commercials?
:
01:05:14,693 --> 01:05:15,594
Mayhem.
:
01:05:15,594 --> 01:05:20,627
yeah, yeah, This Florida man is just like a shape shifting version of that guy.
:
01:05:20,627 --> 01:05:23,499
It's just like fucking shit up.
:
01:05:27,653 --> 01:05:28,748
Like stop.
:
01:05:28,748 --> 01:05:30,954
Yes, the insurance guy.
:
01:05:33,327 --> 01:05:33,957
They are their own.
:
01:05:33,957 --> 01:05:36,548
mean, he's basically he's basically a cryptid, right?
:
01:05:36,548 --> 01:05:39,610
Like he is all the mayhem happening all the time.
:
01:05:39,610 --> 01:05:52,045
So Florida man would be like, like I pictured be like that guy kind of except he
shapeshifts into whatever bizarre person is doing whatever thing.
:
01:05:56,023 --> 01:05:59,548
I Sounds very, sounds very plausible.
:
01:05:59,548 --> 01:06:05,756
Be like, it's a more modern cryptid.
:
01:06:05,756 --> 01:06:07,758
You know, they need Florida man insurance.
:
01:06:07,758 --> 01:06:09,259
That's what need.
:
01:06:09,861 --> 01:06:11,823
Be protected from Florida man.
:
01:06:14,373 --> 01:06:17,946
And then, and then like the, they're actually working in, in cahoots.
:
01:06:17,946 --> 01:06:20,489
They're actually, teamed up.
:
01:06:21,590 --> 01:06:26,194
I'm saying like, you should like waffles should have Florida man insurance is what I'm
saying.
:
01:06:26,995 --> 01:06:29,277
And then you have something really bizarre happens to him.
:
01:06:29,277 --> 01:06:32,669
Like he would, he would file a claim, you know, Florida man insurance.
:
01:06:32,669 --> 01:06:36,853
They don't, they don't, they don't do any claims in the state.
:
01:06:36,853 --> 01:06:38,944
He left as well.
:
01:06:38,985 --> 01:06:42,527
Like I made this claim and then mayhem showed up.
:
01:06:46,172 --> 01:06:50,156
What I mean, you know, I mean, it makes sense.
:
01:06:50,156 --> 01:06:51,186
Yes, I'd play that.
:
01:06:51,186 --> 01:06:57,391
I'd totally go for that because we even have certain things like what in Tokyo, there's
Mr.
:
01:06:57,391 --> 01:06:59,383
In-Between, right?
:
01:06:59,383 --> 01:06:59,824
Yeah.
:
01:06:59,824 --> 01:07:04,659
It's just like, it's just the idea from just that one classic song.
:
01:07:06,111 --> 01:07:07,651
Yeah, yeah, yeah, know.
:
01:07:07,651 --> 01:07:12,531
The the mess between it's the he's trying to suck up.
:
01:07:12,531 --> 01:07:15,291
It's not into our well.
:
01:07:15,551 --> 01:07:23,321
I don't remember if it says he's pulling us in, but he's definitely trying to eat our
energy and feed it to the dead guy.
:
01:07:23,321 --> 01:07:25,211
Yeah, that that part is correct.
:
01:07:25,211 --> 01:07:28,375
I don't remember if he's actually like pulling us in.
:
01:07:30,055 --> 01:07:38,446
I don't remember the exact specifics either, yes, any anything that you any I guess any
any anything, right?
:
01:07:38,446 --> 01:07:39,828
Everything is made of stars.
:
01:07:39,828 --> 01:07:45,003
Anything that crosses his path, he's trying to feed into the into Gaia.
:
01:07:47,705 --> 01:07:50,337
But it really turned around that song, I didn't, what is it?
:
01:07:50,337 --> 01:07:56,241
I heard it a couple months ago in something and it was like, yeah, don't mess with Mr.
:
01:07:56,241 --> 01:07:56,942
In-Between.
:
01:07:56,942 --> 01:07:58,503
And I was like, shit.
:
01:08:01,388 --> 01:08:03,159
Okay, there it is.
:
01:08:03,159 --> 01:08:04,309
That's right.
:
01:08:04,688 --> 01:08:05,420
I Don't hear it.
:
01:08:05,420 --> 01:08:05,890
Okay.
:
01:08:05,890 --> 01:08:16,904
Okay, the damage guardian is unhinged its programming is frayed its work protocols compel
it to reach into other times and Pull Gaia imbued bees to it like you sweetling it will
:
01:08:16,904 --> 01:08:26,458
try to extract anemone from you and feed it to dead Gaia a sorrowful sight were we alive
to see like a deranged toddler stuffing meat into the mouth of its mother's corpse pushing
:
01:08:26,458 --> 01:08:31,220
her drop and drown trying to masticate for her even as the flies land upon her crowded
eyes
:
01:08:32,890 --> 01:08:34,875
That's an amazing visual.
:
01:08:34,875 --> 01:08:39,170
that is visceral as all get out.
:
01:08:39,170 --> 01:08:41,458
I know a bomber pasted it in chat.
:
01:08:43,449 --> 01:08:48,299
I I- I'm in the game, I just pulled up the legend, because I'm in the game.
:
01:08:49,817 --> 01:08:53,417
You can always check TSWDB.com TSWDB.com
:
01:08:56,794 --> 01:09:01,880
zero point worth of pork sponsored by a possible future in the writhing bouquet of
existence
:
01:09:05,020 --> 01:09:11,436
But this it's a one by the way, it's the one legend where the the buzzing comes clean and
says, we didn't have to tell you everything.
:
01:09:13,158 --> 01:09:21,335
Like all the other legends like that don't really say like you sort of implicitly trust
whatever shows up in the lore from the buzzing.
:
01:09:21,335 --> 01:09:21,945
Yeah.
:
01:09:21,945 --> 01:09:22,506
Yeah.
:
01:09:22,506 --> 01:09:26,830
And I remember some Dev streams or tilting was like basically no one is a reliable
narrator.
:
01:09:26,830 --> 01:09:27,170
Yeah.
:
01:09:27,170 --> 01:09:28,490
Even the buzzing.
:
01:09:29,352 --> 01:09:31,564
And this is the one official.
:
01:09:31,564 --> 01:09:45,108
from the horse's mouth they're like so we didn't tell you everything we withheld they're
not saying they lied so much as they lied by omission but you can do you can do a lot of
:
01:09:45,108 --> 01:09:47,230
damage with lying by omission
:
01:09:53,028 --> 01:10:04,269
So yeah, don't know the Dark of Garth of Legends in general like it's some of the I think
it's is that some of the last legends that happened as well I want to say That's gotta be
:
01:10:04,269 --> 01:10:05,529
some of the most recent legends.
:
01:10:05,529 --> 01:10:15,169
I would think it's probably some of the most recent I mean a cult defense I guess
technically comes after that but that's specific to the druid stuff
:
01:10:21,409 --> 01:10:27,855
The stream is brought to you by Kool-Aid, Do Not Drink Me, and Campbell's Pooky Noodle
Soup, podcast by The Spoonful.
:
01:10:27,855 --> 01:10:28,405
I like that.
:
01:10:28,405 --> 01:10:30,547
It's really good.
:
01:10:32,619 --> 01:10:33,674
Shunky.
:
01:10:37,196 --> 01:10:41,562
do you guys want to try and do a little bingo before we...
:
01:10:42,083 --> 01:10:43,485
Bingo?
:
01:10:43,686 --> 01:10:44,527
Finish stuff out?
:
01:10:44,527 --> 01:10:51,455
Jimmy created a way to basically play Daley's bingo.
:
01:10:53,335 --> 01:10:56,255
Say, would you like to explain what this bingo is?
:
01:10:56,955 --> 01:10:58,016
It's bingo.
:
01:10:58,016 --> 01:10:58,637
Yes.
:
01:10:58,637 --> 01:11:03,118
So the idea is it's to do with the daily challenges.
:
01:11:03,118 --> 01:11:09,998
So the main thing is that I put together like a set of, like, think it's like 128 bingo
cards.
:
01:11:09,998 --> 01:11:14,958
And you can use bingosync.com and make a room and paste in those cards.
:
01:11:14,958 --> 01:11:18,418
I have the file on my website so people can grab it.
:
01:11:19,477 --> 01:11:25,382
And yeah, you can generate a random bingo board and then...
:
01:11:27,119 --> 01:11:35,343
Do these different things that all should count towards your daily challenges and attempt
to get a bingo.
:
01:11:39,849 --> 01:11:50,790
It's basically a way to, as we discussed, make it so that if you're going to be coming on
and doing your daily, that you're not just hitting the same exact stuff over and over and
:
01:11:50,790 --> 01:11:52,161
over over again.
:
01:11:52,842 --> 01:12:02,494
That's a way to randomize your own play, essentially, so that you get to replay stuff that
you may not have seen in a while.
:
01:12:04,736 --> 01:12:08,370
So in this card, the middle spot is Dark Agartha.
:
01:12:08,370 --> 01:12:12,273
Middle being pretty powerful for trying to get a bingo line going.
:
01:12:12,894 --> 01:12:15,816
But also, me, maybe not the quickest.
:
01:12:16,438 --> 01:12:17,298
Right.
:
01:12:20,410 --> 01:12:23,374
There's other things that would probably be quicker.
:
01:12:23,374 --> 01:12:25,236
Kill 100 Peduri, my god.
:
01:12:25,236 --> 01:12:28,238
Yeah, some of them are easier than others.
:
01:12:29,943 --> 01:12:31,942
So let's see.
:
01:12:34,295 --> 01:12:39,016
One is this one, So for example, I can do this.
:
01:12:39,936 --> 01:12:42,036
And then, where the hell's the board?
:
01:12:42,036 --> 01:12:42,796
my God.
:
01:12:42,796 --> 01:12:43,657
Where is the board?
:
01:12:43,657 --> 01:12:45,177
I've got the board up.
:
01:12:46,987 --> 01:12:47,328
BAM!
:
01:12:47,328 --> 01:12:49,121
I stole Empower Lucktowsman.
:
01:12:49,121 --> 01:12:50,462
Get screwed.
:
01:12:50,623 --> 01:12:51,184
God dammit.
:
01:12:51,184 --> 01:12:53,877
Now you can't get that one, I already Empowered my Lucktowsman.
:
01:12:58,711 --> 01:13:00,326
and my bank is filled with stuff.
:
01:13:00,326 --> 01:13:01,117
no.
:
01:13:01,380 --> 01:13:03,144
I'm powered waste house man.
:
01:13:07,737 --> 01:13:10,079
And wrist talisman, which gives me three different talismans.
:
01:13:10,079 --> 01:13:13,441
God damn it.
:
01:13:14,202 --> 01:13:16,364
I've been playing for about five seconds.
:
01:13:16,364 --> 01:13:19,787
I'm like, I have, wait, finger, finger, finger signet.
:
01:13:19,787 --> 01:13:20,808
God damn it.
:
01:13:23,328 --> 01:13:26,674
There's a couple signal ones, there's only three different signal ones.
:
01:13:34,784 --> 01:13:35,822
I'm like, wait.
:
01:13:37,926 --> 01:13:41,287
Do I even have wrists?
:
01:13:44,318 --> 01:13:45,491
I got a call to Alvin.
:
01:13:45,491 --> 01:13:46,733
God damn it, that's what I...
:
01:13:46,733 --> 01:13:48,254
no, that wasn't what I was working on.
:
01:13:50,673 --> 01:13:55,245
But I don't have a bingo yet, I just have squares.
:
01:13:56,446 --> 01:14:01,288
Though if we can't get bignos as majority, I'm definitely in the lead for majority at this
point.
:
01:14:02,109 --> 01:14:04,211
We don't have anything to shove into it, god damn it.
:
01:14:04,211 --> 01:14:06,092
Okay.
:
01:14:06,092 --> 01:14:06,654
Freezing?
:
01:14:06,654 --> 01:14:07,495
Get down.
:
01:14:07,495 --> 01:14:08,956
Freezing?
:
01:14:11,312 --> 01:14:12,911
He is being a pain right now.
:
01:14:14,654 --> 01:14:16,485
This one, this one.
:
01:14:17,786 --> 01:14:21,057
She's decided now she's trying to get behind my computer again.
:
01:14:21,057 --> 01:14:25,249
Wait, which things are spirits?
:
01:14:25,349 --> 01:14:26,269
You.
:
01:14:26,830 --> 01:14:30,212
Is that the green ones or is that the fire ones?
:
01:14:30,212 --> 01:14:31,591
Bomber, do you remember?
:
01:14:36,116 --> 01:14:37,297
Could you stop?
:
01:14:37,299 --> 01:14:38,782
Please?
:
01:14:38,782 --> 01:14:41,447
It's spirit was so what the other ones are wisps.
:
01:14:41,447 --> 01:14:42,288
Okay.
:
01:14:45,138 --> 01:14:49,924
I couldn't remember which which because they they're this they're basically look the same
right just different colors.
:
01:14:50,036 --> 01:14:50,928
gosh
:
01:14:57,490 --> 01:15:01,798
I have no idea what Waffle's doing because he's got the bingo board covering the entire
screen.
:
01:15:01,798 --> 01:15:02,919
He does.
:
01:15:04,724 --> 01:15:16,096
Just FYI, what I do Waffle is I just crop just the board and throw that up in the corner
when I'm doing it.
:
01:15:17,713 --> 01:15:20,133
now I'm a floating head in a bowl of soup.
:
01:15:20,133 --> 01:15:21,993
Since I teleported away.
:
01:15:22,773 --> 01:15:24,093
It's the best kind.
:
01:15:25,613 --> 01:15:26,633
Alright.
:
01:15:28,252 --> 01:15:36,839
I realized I looked in my bank and I've got all kinds of from Halloween that I have not
been keeping up on.
:
01:15:39,179 --> 01:15:39,972
Oops.
:
01:15:44,555 --> 01:15:46,775
Okay, I think I can track this.
:
01:15:51,775 --> 01:15:52,719
and then the weapons.
:
01:15:52,719 --> 01:15:55,295
I don't have those weapons on me!
:
01:15:57,547 --> 01:16:00,047
Do you're are you using OBS?
:
01:16:00,787 --> 01:16:02,767
No, I'm using the cam.
:
01:16:03,548 --> 01:16:08,588
do you have a way to like so in OBS you can like.
:
01:16:08,588 --> 01:16:10,748
Crop what's showing?
:
01:16:10,748 --> 01:16:12,508
Can you crop what's showing?
:
01:16:13,628 --> 01:16:14,678
Yeah, I that.
:
01:16:14,678 --> 01:16:16,968
So like I'm saying you could make it just show the board.
:
01:16:16,968 --> 01:16:19,688
You don't need like any of the rest of the screen.
:
01:16:20,068 --> 01:16:21,308
I probably better.
:
01:16:21,308 --> 01:16:25,488
You have a lot on there to empower signets and I'm like I got.
:
01:16:25,488 --> 01:16:27,191
I got shit to empower significance.
:
01:16:27,191 --> 01:16:31,657
I did read I did re-randomize the board a few times because there is a couple that were
like.
:
01:16:32,098 --> 01:16:33,960
Have a good night masick.
:
01:16:35,383 --> 01:16:38,208
Have a good night masick thanks for something by my friend.
:
01:16:38,208 --> 01:16:40,200
I got one a cab.
:
01:16:41,890 --> 01:16:44,190
You got one a cop.
:
01:16:46,050 --> 01:16:46,830
There's two.
:
01:16:46,830 --> 01:16:47,580
Ouija boards.
:
01:16:47,580 --> 01:16:49,170
Do we need Ouija boards?
:
01:16:49,250 --> 01:16:50,470
39.
:
01:16:51,290 --> 01:16:52,798
What did that be?
:
01:16:57,986 --> 01:17:00,132
The little ones count too
:
01:17:21,032 --> 01:17:23,379
Here I am like, hold on.
:
01:17:28,192 --> 01:17:29,652
Updating my inventory.
:
01:17:39,574 --> 01:17:42,630
I'm organizing, organizing my inventory, dang it.
:
01:17:45,068 --> 01:17:46,348
Wait, wait, wait,
:
01:17:47,893 --> 01:17:48,960
39, I think.
:
01:17:58,184 --> 01:18:00,008
my god dude, fire spirits fucking...
:
01:18:00,008 --> 01:18:04,152
They like, sometimes they just launch.
:
01:18:04,152 --> 01:18:06,287
They land and just launch you.
:
01:18:20,425 --> 01:18:24,347
It takes longer than you think to find 50 of these fucking things to kill.
:
01:18:39,478 --> 01:18:40,717
Bank lady!
:
01:18:40,717 --> 01:18:42,403
Okay, here we go.
:
01:18:42,403 --> 01:18:43,815
No wait, I want the bank.
:
01:18:50,998 --> 01:19:02,357
Jimmy are you you're not you're not soup anymore right no I am soup and I have a floating
head actually it's okay so you stayed soup okay good I'm still soup I was worried I was
:
01:19:02,357 --> 01:19:16,717
worried that I wasn't soup anymore that you weren't soup anymore no I'm definitely still
soup good but but somehow when I teleported I it added the floating head back
:
01:19:18,331 --> 01:19:21,334
So I'm a floating head above soup.
:
01:19:30,821 --> 01:19:32,970
Well, I mean, someone's gotta drink that soup.
:
01:19:35,729 --> 01:19:36,769
You threatening me?
:
01:19:39,057 --> 01:19:40,597
I don't know what I'm doing.
:
01:19:42,078 --> 01:19:44,145
Are you threatening me?
:
01:20:03,390 --> 01:20:05,475
setting myself on fire by accident.
:
01:20:14,696 --> 01:20:16,970
So we did have some other news.
:
01:20:16,970 --> 01:20:17,624
Did we?
:
01:20:17,624 --> 01:20:18,652
We had news?
:
01:20:18,652 --> 01:20:19,532
Did we?
:
01:20:24,878 --> 01:20:30,729
We did have some news but it's news now mostly relating to other funcom properties.
:
01:20:33,207 --> 01:20:36,887
Specifically Dune Awakening announced that it's coming to ...
:
01:20:36,887 --> 01:20:38,688
PC early::
01:20:38,688 --> 01:20:41,989
They're really pushing hard for Dune Awakening right now.
:
01:20:41,989 --> 01:20:45,629
They released the Communinet Signal number 3 for Dune ...
:
01:20:45,629 --> 01:20:50,709
Awakening to basically say how they're going about the ...
:
01:20:50,709 --> 01:20:51,329
world with it.
:
01:20:51,329 --> 01:20:54,193
They said we're back again with our third edition of the Communinet Signal.
:
01:20:54,193 --> 01:21:01,618
As with previous issues, we're going to round up all the goings on and happening
surrounding Dune Awakening in the past weeks for your reading pleasure.
:
01:21:01,618 --> 01:21:05,340
In the last issue, we shared everything there was to see at Gamescom in Germany.
:
01:21:05,340 --> 01:21:10,103
This time, we're going to take you to conventions in California, Japan, and Brazil.
:
01:21:10,103 --> 01:21:16,447
So even if you didn't get an opportunity to check out our booths in person, we can share a
little bit of Arrakis with you here.
:
01:21:17,147 --> 01:21:20,101
We also have some fantastic artwork created by our community.
:
01:21:20,101 --> 01:21:24,485
New assets right from our own artists and answers to some of your burning questions.
:
01:21:25,006 --> 01:21:36,797
And one of the coolest things I thought they showed in that entire thing was they showed
an Ornithopter work in progress image and it looks baller.
:
01:21:36,797 --> 01:21:38,388
It does, it looks great.
:
01:21:39,107 --> 01:21:43,497
do you what you said on emails reminding people to do the beta sign up surveys relatively
recently as well?
:
01:21:43,497 --> 01:21:43,947
Yes.
:
01:21:43,947 --> 01:21:46,043
I mean, the surveys have been going on.
:
01:21:49,057 --> 01:21:50,687
They have indeed.
:
01:21:53,540 --> 01:21:55,544
Ornithopter.
:
01:21:55,707 --> 01:21:58,215
Insect.
:
01:21:58,215 --> 01:21:59,216
Type.
:
01:21:59,238 --> 01:22:00,281
Flying machine.
:
01:22:00,281 --> 01:22:01,433
Yes, love it.
:
01:22:03,084 --> 01:22:05,094
let's go check that out.
:
01:22:07,315 --> 01:22:08,487
put up there.
:
01:22:09,595 --> 01:22:11,600
Communion and that signal.
:
01:22:16,465 --> 01:22:26,609
Then other things, Dune Spice Wars came up with their community update number four with
new conquests, which I believe in Dune Awakening the conquests are the story mode, sort of
:
01:22:26,609 --> 01:22:31,611
like a way to run through it with like a story progression almost.
:
01:22:32,111 --> 01:22:34,732
mean, wait, you mean Dune Spice Wars, right?
:
01:22:34,732 --> 01:22:35,632
Yes.
:
01:22:36,472 --> 01:22:37,473
That's what I said, right?
:
01:22:37,473 --> 01:22:40,044
Well, since I misheard you, I thought you said Awakening again.
:
01:22:40,044 --> 01:22:40,335
no.
:
01:22:40,335 --> 01:22:42,095
Dune Spice Wars, yeah.
:
01:22:42,836 --> 01:22:44,498
You just said it or I misheard it.
:
01:22:44,498 --> 01:22:46,524
One One of those two, yeah.
:
01:22:46,565 --> 01:22:52,401
Yes, Dune's Spice Wars, the RTS, and they added Fremen and Smuggler Conquest.
:
01:22:52,401 --> 01:22:56,355
So a Fremen conquest, a whole Fremen storyline.
:
01:22:56,579 --> 01:22:57,837
could be cool.
:
01:22:58,999 --> 01:22:59,859
What's that?
:
01:23:02,605 --> 01:23:02,856
What?
:
01:23:02,856 --> 01:23:03,396
I missed that.
:
01:23:03,396 --> 01:23:04,356
did you say?
:
01:23:04,716 --> 01:23:05,863
that's cool.
:
01:23:06,071 --> 01:23:06,124
OK.
:
01:23:06,124 --> 01:23:09,727
Yeah, I thought that was really cool.
:
01:23:09,727 --> 01:23:22,980
And other than that, Aloft, which is a game developed by Astrolab Interactive, published
by Funcom, and they've been pushing it, though, described as a cozy sandbox survival.
:
01:23:22,980 --> 01:23:24,000
So.
:
01:23:25,562 --> 01:23:29,615
Not Conan Exiles, but still survival.
:
01:23:29,925 --> 01:23:30,865
I know I'm in.
:
01:23:30,865 --> 01:23:34,567
I first saw that I was kind of meh.
:
01:23:34,647 --> 01:23:38,730
But I saw the more recent trailer and I kind of like want to check that out.
:
01:23:38,730 --> 01:23:39,690
I kind of dig it.
:
01:23:39,690 --> 01:23:41,931
It's the the artwork looks cool.
:
01:23:42,832 --> 01:23:47,394
The artwork especially looks really cool and it's all about like floating from island to
island.
:
01:23:47,394 --> 01:23:48,886
Got 50.
:
01:23:49,515 --> 01:23:50,455
Nice dude.
:
01:23:50,455 --> 01:23:52,186
What did you get 50 of?
:
01:23:52,186 --> 01:23:53,161
There you go.
:
01:23:53,161 --> 01:23:54,854
Someone else is on the board.
:
01:23:54,854 --> 01:23:55,856
I'm about to be too.
:
01:23:55,856 --> 01:23:59,080
just took a break to talk about the news.
:
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:04,486
But yeah, no, Aloft looks cool and it's being published by Funcom, so it's developed by
Astrolab Entertainment.
:
01:24:05,649 --> 01:24:07,732
I'm sorry, Astrolab Interactive.
:
01:24:07,732 --> 01:24:08,592
My bad.
:
01:24:14,794 --> 01:24:17,236
Yeah, when I got that email, I'm like, what is this game?
:
01:24:17,236 --> 01:24:17,939
Funcom?
:
01:24:17,939 --> 01:24:18,749
What?
:
01:24:20,812 --> 01:24:22,222
Yeah, and they've been pushing it
:
01:24:30,763 --> 01:24:44,261
I was doing this the other night and like I swear to God I needed to get I think the other
night it was hotel as well I needed to get hotel and like I must have queued for a
:
01:24:44,261 --> 01:24:57,035
scenario like fucking 15 times I kept getting like either castle or mansion I was like god
damn it just let me fucking get hotel already this shit is wrong with you
:
01:25:00,843 --> 01:25:04,851
And I went on a rant about how it's really dumb that we can't pick our stuff.
:
01:25:09,404 --> 01:25:18,022
Don't I mean I generally don't like it I don't like that you that you can only randomize
into dungeons or scenarios It's just super annoying
:
01:25:20,386 --> 01:25:20,831
Yeah?
:
01:25:20,831 --> 01:25:21,653
Yeah.
:
01:25:23,758 --> 01:25:28,685
I mean, it's not changing anytime soon, probably ever, but like, it's...
:
01:25:29,708 --> 01:25:31,690
doesn't make me less annoyed by it.
:
01:25:33,582 --> 01:25:37,428
Actually, that's probably just as more annoying that it's not gonna change.
:
01:25:55,480 --> 01:25:59,246
Weirdest part about being soup is I can't see where I'm attacking.
:
01:26:01,079 --> 01:26:03,719
At least I can run and jump though.
:
01:26:03,719 --> 01:26:05,499
Like, you know?
:
01:26:05,759 --> 01:26:06,429
You can still attack.
:
01:26:06,429 --> 01:26:11,259
I don't think it affects my sprint speed negatively.
:
01:26:11,259 --> 01:26:12,939
And I can jump.
:
01:26:12,939 --> 01:26:17,060
Because apparently, rabbits can't jump and spools of soup can't.
:
01:26:17,060 --> 01:26:19,188
Make it make sense.
:
01:26:36,993 --> 01:26:39,100
I see some other people are getting on the board.
:
01:26:44,243 --> 01:26:45,225
doing the dag signets.
:
01:26:45,225 --> 01:26:48,064
Damn it, that's what I was looking for.
:
01:26:50,889 --> 01:26:51,844
I was like,
:
01:26:55,945 --> 01:26:59,694
I like, I know I got stuff, but I didn't.
:
01:27:07,369 --> 01:27:08,172
Clearing out my inventory.
:
01:27:08,172 --> 01:27:09,089
There we go.
:
01:27:15,677 --> 01:27:16,448
But what do they say?
:
01:27:16,448 --> 01:27:24,829
Earlier, I don't know if it's the same way because I haven't been in the beta,
specifically because if I was in the beta, I couldn't talk about it.
:
01:27:27,238 --> 01:27:29,638
How do we know how to trust you, Mikey?
:
01:27:29,638 --> 01:27:32,038
That's what I mean, we know how to trust you?
:
01:27:32,898 --> 01:27:34,838
Well, I'm not in the beta.
:
01:27:34,838 --> 01:27:37,739
That's exactly what a person that is in the beta would say.
:
01:27:37,739 --> 01:27:39,959
That's what they would say.
:
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:42,519
I side no NDA.
:
01:27:42,519 --> 01:27:44,039
I side nothing.
:
01:27:44,379 --> 01:27:46,263
I'm allowed to talk about it.
:
01:27:47,991 --> 01:27:49,076
You
:
01:27:51,103 --> 01:27:52,011
Fight Soup Club?
:
01:27:52,011 --> 01:27:53,568
That's the first rule.
:
01:27:55,183 --> 01:27:55,983
Fight,
:
01:27:58,530 --> 01:27:59,908
Soup Fight Club.
:
01:28:00,177 --> 01:28:00,989
Yeah.
:
01:28:02,488 --> 01:28:10,918
don't was trying to- thinking of what would it be like Campbell's Fight Club Soup.
:
01:28:14,144 --> 01:28:16,409
That'd be a hell of like a movie tie-in.
:
01:28:16,409 --> 01:28:17,999
It's chunky.
:
01:28:27,242 --> 01:28:30,709
Actually, I literally think I'm blocked always.
:
01:28:30,709 --> 01:28:34,014
Except for if I go run and do Dark Agartha.
:
01:28:43,414 --> 01:28:45,861
I mean nothing says you can't do like E1, Dr.
:
01:28:45,861 --> 01:28:46,762
Garter.
:
01:28:49,825 --> 01:28:50,654
You know?
:
01:28:52,792 --> 01:28:54,737
Try as you may remember how to jump down.
:
01:28:54,740 --> 01:28:55,922
First try!
:
01:29:05,297 --> 01:29:08,686
jumping down to Dark Agartha.
:
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:12,962
even have a Dark Gartha build.
:
01:29:12,962 --> 01:29:13,963
Look at me.
:
01:29:13,963 --> 01:29:14,565
Look at me.
:
01:29:14,565 --> 01:29:15,156
Look at me.
:
01:29:15,156 --> 01:29:17,649
It's like I've played this game before.
:
01:29:21,679 --> 01:29:24,643
One could almost be fooled into believing that, that's true.
:
01:29:24,643 --> 01:29:25,524
I know.
:
01:29:31,049 --> 01:29:34,866
Sometimes it's not the most experienced that you hear from.
:
01:29:34,866 --> 01:29:38,121
Sometimes it's just the person who wants to talk about it.
:
01:29:54,867 --> 01:29:57,993
Always remember that, right, when someone is talking about a topic.
:
01:29:57,993 --> 01:30:00,486
Sometimes they are not going to be the most...
:
01:30:04,015 --> 01:30:05,418
most well known on a topic.
:
01:30:05,418 --> 01:30:08,674
They're not going to be the person who is the the biggest expert in the world.
:
01:30:08,674 --> 01:30:10,797
Sometimes it's just going to be
:
01:30:13,161 --> 01:30:16,143
the person capable of talking about it.
:
01:30:31,305 --> 01:30:34,847
Now you, I set this room up as lockout, which is why we can block.
:
01:30:34,847 --> 01:30:38,990
But you, you, when you make the room, you can actually pick.
:
01:30:39,931 --> 01:30:49,777
So if you made it not lockout, then you both would pick the square and it would color it
like split it diagonally and color the square.
:
01:30:50,038 --> 01:30:54,050
know, I don't know what it is for third, but I've seen it diagonal.
:
01:30:54,050 --> 01:30:57,244
Like, so it'll, it'll, it'll split color.
:
01:30:57,244 --> 01:30:58,886
And if you don't do lockout mode.
:
01:30:58,886 --> 01:30:59,460
Okay.
:
01:30:59,460 --> 01:31:13,114
You know, think lockouts more fun because it gives you like, you know, a strategy around
blocking someone else's bingo versus just you both can use this.
:
01:31:13,114 --> 01:31:17,127
you without lockout, you both can just do the same five squares.
:
01:31:17,148 --> 01:31:19,510
It's just who does it faster, I guess, technically.
:
01:31:29,028 --> 01:31:31,649
Gosh, it's been a while since I've done Dark Agartha.
:
01:31:34,254 --> 01:31:35,455
Been a while.
:
01:31:58,574 --> 01:32:03,018
That's the thing, Palmer, I can't see what he's doing.
:
01:32:06,875 --> 01:32:09,772
Okay, so you could if
:
01:32:12,878 --> 01:32:18,145
If Mikey broadcast his shit on Discord, then you could capture from there, potentially.
:
01:32:18,145 --> 01:32:20,208
But you'd have to actually do that.
:
01:32:22,199 --> 01:32:23,678
Would you like me to?
:
01:32:26,770 --> 01:32:28,495
share your screen.
:
01:32:32,821 --> 01:32:34,171
the game.
:
01:32:34,252 --> 01:32:42,056
That is a nice thing about the discord right is it like like literally anyone could be
like yeah I'm just gonna share what I'm doing yeah and you know what mean like you don't
:
01:32:42,056 --> 01:32:45,938
have to like strip like have streaming shit set up yourself or anything like that.
:
01:32:46,018 --> 01:32:48,099
You don't necessarily need the audio.
:
01:32:53,543 --> 01:32:56,485
You trying to tell waffle what he needs or doesn't need?
:
01:32:56,485 --> 01:32:58,066
How dare you?
:
01:32:58,066 --> 01:32:59,317
You don't need that.
:
01:32:59,317 --> 01:33:02,363
How dare you, sir?
:
01:33:02,569 --> 01:33:05,110
You don't need that.
:
01:33:06,031 --> 01:33:08,873
you trying to trying to Florida's plane?
:
01:33:11,986 --> 01:33:14,608
Okay, Florida Splain is a thing now because I just made it up.
:
01:33:14,608 --> 01:33:15,890
I everyone to use that.
:
01:33:15,890 --> 01:33:18,512
Instead of Mansplain, Florida Splain.
:
01:33:18,512 --> 01:33:19,563
Florida Splain.
:
01:33:23,590 --> 01:33:31,840
I shared it so yeah give me one second I gotta move this word into that I was gonna say do
it do what you got to do on your end
:
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,192
my itty bitty self.
:
01:33:46,576 --> 01:33:47,698
Alright, you're tiny.
:
01:33:47,698 --> 01:33:52,967
It does add the added challenge of when you go to target something, I do have to look up
at them.
:
01:33:53,629 --> 01:33:54,520
Yeah.
:
01:33:59,654 --> 01:34:01,099
All the way the heck over there.
:
01:34:02,662 --> 01:34:04,427
What are you doing all the way over here, dude?
:
01:34:04,562 --> 01:34:06,657
I don't know you can run away from me like that.
:
01:34:19,386 --> 01:34:22,206
And just to make it interesting, I'm not just doing E1.
:
01:34:25,351 --> 01:34:25,672
shoot.
:
01:34:25,672 --> 01:34:25,872
shoot.
:
01:34:25,872 --> 01:34:26,432
Get out of there.
:
01:34:26,432 --> 01:34:27,312
Get out of there.
:
01:34:27,312 --> 01:34:28,242
Get out of there.
:
01:34:28,242 --> 01:34:28,912
Move.
:
01:34:28,912 --> 01:34:30,672
Yeah, you don't stand a nap.
:
01:34:34,038 --> 01:34:36,649
Now you're trying to Florida's plane to Mikey.
:
01:34:36,650 --> 01:34:37,531
That's right.
:
01:34:37,531 --> 01:34:40,835
It's a Jersey explain Jersey.
:
01:34:40,835 --> 01:34:43,837
Wait, I thought it was the whoever is doing the explaining.
:
01:34:43,837 --> 01:34:45,553
That's what the name that's what it's attached to.
:
01:34:45,553 --> 01:34:47,410
That's why it's called man.
:
01:34:47,410 --> 01:34:48,181
No, no, no.
:
01:34:48,181 --> 01:34:50,142
I it around for the Florida thing.
:
01:34:50,743 --> 01:34:52,345
That's the whole point.
:
01:34:52,345 --> 01:34:53,085
I changed.
:
01:34:53,085 --> 01:34:56,848
I changed the rule that that rule has changed itself.
:
01:35:01,906 --> 01:35:02,598
Go, go, go, go.
:
01:35:02,598 --> 01:35:05,434
I'm not even looking at what the things are.
:
01:35:09,276 --> 01:35:10,498
So means you can New York-splain?
:
01:35:10,498 --> 01:35:11,290
Yeah.
:
01:35:14,278 --> 01:35:16,035
And I can Jersey-splain.
:
01:35:18,632 --> 01:35:35,892
sounds as a toxic spores did Jersey's plane sounds a lot like a thing though also kind of
just sounds like you're saying Jersey is a plane it's Jersey plane yeah that's just a
:
01:35:35,892 --> 01:35:39,088
version of playing right playing playing old Jersey
:
01:35:52,727 --> 01:35:54,905
it's probably a thing I have to stand in.
:
01:36:00,236 --> 01:36:01,617
yeah, that one.
:
01:36:01,737 --> 01:36:03,298
That's the...
:
01:36:03,579 --> 01:36:08,692
You stand in the ring so that you don't die to the...
:
01:36:08,692 --> 01:36:10,804
the fungus?
:
01:36:11,144 --> 01:36:13,746
Yeah, it's the fungus effect.
:
01:36:14,987 --> 01:36:16,108
Or something.
:
01:36:16,876 --> 01:36:21,612
I think that's literally like the fungus trying to consume you or some shit like that.
:
01:36:29,062 --> 01:36:30,102
Hey GK!
:
01:36:32,319 --> 01:36:33,879
Pardon me, hatchling.
:
01:36:33,879 --> 01:36:34,649
Move out of the way.
:
01:36:34,649 --> 01:36:36,339
I'm trying to see what this GK can do.
:
01:36:36,339 --> 01:36:37,600
No, you're not gonna move?
:
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:38,400
I'm just gonna die.
:
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:39,300
That's fine.
:
01:36:39,300 --> 01:36:40,920
I was just stepping into spores.
:
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:42,380
It's okay.
:
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:49,360
But where the fungus that survives in the world, for it feeds indiscriminately, this diet
may have had some unusual results.
:
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,400
And why is it that color?
:
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:56,620
Did you just die while trying to read the lore?
:
01:36:56,620 --> 01:36:57,261
Is that what happened?
:
01:36:57,261 --> 01:36:58,861
No, no, almost.
:
01:36:58,861 --> 01:37:01,471
Almost died while trying to read the lore.
:
01:37:02,809 --> 01:37:04,571
I wasn't paying attention to that screen for second.
:
01:37:04,571 --> 01:37:07,303
I didn't actually die.
:
01:37:07,303 --> 01:37:08,074
didn't actually die.
:
01:37:08,074 --> 01:37:09,895
I almost died.
:
01:37:10,096 --> 01:37:11,156
Almost died.
:
01:37:11,156 --> 01:37:12,297
difference, yeah.
:
01:37:14,073 --> 01:37:15,855
Alright GK, I forget this fight.
:
01:37:15,855 --> 01:37:16,773
Do I need a...
:
01:37:16,773 --> 01:37:17,717
I think I need an Impair?
:
01:37:17,717 --> 01:37:22,200
Only if he has Animadrain and or Redistribution.
:
01:37:28,140 --> 01:37:29,081
No.
:
01:37:29,823 --> 01:37:31,826
doesn't have anima drain or anna retribution.
:
01:37:31,826 --> 01:37:33,367
You don't need an impair.
:
01:37:33,911 --> 01:37:34,211
okay.
:
01:37:34,211 --> 01:37:38,417
I was like, I thought this one, I thought he always did.
:
01:37:38,417 --> 01:37:39,378
So that's good to know.
:
01:37:39,378 --> 01:37:44,365
He has the anima drain, like I feel like most of the time, but it actually isn't
mandatory.
:
01:37:46,325 --> 01:37:48,966
It's just like the most common one that he has.
:
01:38:05,865 --> 01:38:09,155
It is trippy fighting from the smaller angle, I must say.
:
01:38:18,710 --> 01:38:19,667
Jebus.
:
01:38:22,110 --> 01:38:29,945
I'm just running around like a madman and sort of like how like you're in your first
person playthrough you have to you know you find yourself looking directions you don't
:
01:38:29,945 --> 01:38:36,169
normally look yeah yeah it's that same sort of effect like I'm always looking up
:
01:38:52,572 --> 01:38:53,505
Yeah, GQ?
:
01:38:57,139 --> 01:39:00,921
So that wasn't the E level that I'm currently at.
:
01:39:00,921 --> 01:39:02,976
That wasn't my max E level.
:
01:39:03,380 --> 01:39:04,642
I'll just say that.
:
01:39:06,378 --> 01:39:07,598
But wasn't E1.
:
01:39:07,598 --> 01:39:08,708
But it wasn't E1 either.
:
01:39:08,708 --> 01:39:10,518
It was like E3.
:
01:39:10,998 --> 01:39:11,928
Gotcha.
:
01:39:14,132 --> 01:39:15,382
We did you get it?
:
01:39:15,383 --> 01:39:16,243
Yep.
:
01:39:17,203 --> 01:39:18,904
You got to mark your square, dude.
:
01:39:19,224 --> 01:39:20,863
I'm getting there.
:
01:39:20,863 --> 01:39:21,286
Bam.
:
01:39:21,286 --> 01:39:24,827
I technically should have marked it like as soon as gatekeeper died.
:
01:39:24,988 --> 01:39:26,248
That's when the.
:
01:39:26,248 --> 01:39:28,679
Well, I also knew that neither one of you was in darker Garthas.
:
01:39:28,679 --> 01:39:29,351
was pretty safe.
:
01:39:29,351 --> 01:39:32,553
I mean, pretty safe from that being stolen.
:
01:39:32,553 --> 01:39:36,747
I'm operating like in the back of my head, I'm still picking up like bingo brawler stuff.
:
01:39:36,747 --> 01:39:47,707
It's like you know like think like five seconds to mark the square or something Okay,
yeah, or if you're actually playing people that can see what you're doing right like if
:
01:39:47,707 --> 01:40:00,467
you're then The other person could be doing it neither of you would know that so I mean
kind of the point of yeah Yeah, yeah You don't want to waste you like it would be
:
01:40:00,467 --> 01:40:03,395
detrimental if you don't immediately mark it
:
01:40:05,587 --> 01:40:08,467
If for no other reason than they could mark it before you, technically.
:
01:40:08,467 --> 01:40:08,754
Right?
:
01:40:08,754 --> 01:40:09,155
Yes.
:
01:40:09,155 --> 01:40:10,075
Yeah.
:
01:40:10,157 --> 01:40:11,619
You just lose it.
:
01:40:41,260 --> 01:40:43,509
I remembered about something the other day.
:
01:40:45,610 --> 01:40:46,839
And it was,
:
01:40:50,858 --> 01:40:58,702
The idea that when you died, you had to, if you wanted to transport somewhere, you had to
reset yourself.
:
01:40:59,184 --> 01:41:00,105
Yeah.
:
01:41:00,105 --> 01:41:01,366
In old TSW.
:
01:41:03,803 --> 01:41:06,569
Yeah, I had like a...
:
01:41:06,569 --> 01:41:08,162
I had a set of gear I used for that.
:
01:41:08,162 --> 01:41:12,360
I had like a set of white gear in TSW that I put on before I did a reset.
:
01:41:12,862 --> 01:41:14,315
Remember your gear had to be repaired?
:
01:41:14,315 --> 01:41:15,737
Mm-hmm.
:
01:41:20,007 --> 01:41:23,455
So that was sort of like, want to transport somewhere and yeah so you had to...
:
01:41:23,455 --> 01:41:26,191
You had to kill yourself every time.
:
01:41:28,815 --> 01:41:31,619
You remember like the first Matrix, right?
:
01:41:31,619 --> 01:41:34,873
When the guy starts unplugging people.
:
01:41:36,579 --> 01:41:37,549
of the guy that betrays them.
:
01:41:37,549 --> 01:41:39,000
Mm-hmm.
:
01:41:39,101 --> 01:41:44,554
It starts like literally unplugging them in real life and in the Matrix they just sort of
like fall over.
:
01:41:44,554 --> 01:41:46,985
Like they just flop.
:
01:41:47,846 --> 01:41:51,768
I was like TSW like during anniversary stuff or whatever.
:
01:41:51,768 --> 01:41:53,849
Like world bosses.
:
01:41:54,689 --> 01:41:58,631
After it's dead you see a hundred people just flop over like they just got unplugged.
:
01:41:59,412 --> 01:42:02,453
That was always funny.
:
01:42:03,134 --> 01:42:04,215
Just flub-flub.
:
01:42:04,215 --> 01:42:05,035
Yeah.
:
01:42:16,004 --> 01:42:17,121
something
:
01:42:20,124 --> 01:42:23,772
I'm like trying to figure out.
:
01:42:23,772 --> 01:42:29,122
I'm doing one of the kill ones and I'm like how do I remember?
:
01:42:34,059 --> 01:42:35,600
I'm just trying to count in my head.
:
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,850
I mean you could look at your achievement and just see like where you're at I suppose.
:
01:42:39,850 --> 01:42:40,870
Yeah.
:
01:42:41,190 --> 01:42:49,402
I have In Farmer installed so I just check spirits and then did it until it went up 50 you
know.
:
01:42:59,852 --> 01:43:02,453
So just hear me just ranking up numbers.
:
01:43:06,243 --> 01:43:07,396
You're not a familiar.
:
01:43:07,396 --> 01:43:09,702
At the way, you're not a familiar.
:
01:43:13,076 --> 01:43:14,044
Run.
:
01:43:17,632 --> 01:43:18,333
to
:
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:24,740
46.
:
01:43:28,224 --> 01:43:29,208
50.
:
01:43:35,136 --> 01:43:36,600
54
:
01:43:43,072 --> 01:43:48,616
58 because I will easily lose count 62
:
01:43:50,908 --> 01:43:52,646
63.
:
01:43:55,420 --> 01:43:56,948
67.
:
01:44:00,540 --> 01:44:02,036
68
:
01:44:05,436 --> 01:44:07,946
69 noise nice.
:
01:44:07,946 --> 01:44:10,432
Thank you 70
:
01:44:12,775 --> 01:44:24,693
my game crashed no 71 no that should be on the board game crash game crash yeah 72 will
just fucking like control delete their game that's not
:
01:44:27,304 --> 01:44:28,731
FutureTech Cash.
:
01:44:36,434 --> 01:44:38,621
Wait a minute, the future tech cash is dropping again?
:
01:44:40,712 --> 01:44:41,524
Yeah.
:
01:44:41,711 --> 01:44:42,713
Nice.
:
01:44:42,922 --> 01:44:44,200
74.
:
01:44:46,494 --> 01:44:47,682
think that's where it was.
:
01:44:53,278 --> 01:44:56,451
76 I have a theory by the way
:
01:44:58,240 --> 01:44:59,442
I have a theory by the way.
:
01:44:59,442 --> 01:45:04,254
My theory is that my character is really small, right?
:
01:45:04,254 --> 01:45:05,385
They shortened me, right?
:
01:45:05,385 --> 01:45:06,625
We all know this.
:
01:45:06,666 --> 01:45:08,326
That's not the surprising thing.
:
01:45:08,727 --> 01:45:19,813
The thing is that I believe that the drop rate for caches is extremely small for me.
:
01:45:21,034 --> 01:45:25,096
And my theory is that they somehow tied
:
01:45:25,628 --> 01:45:27,602
in the spaghetti code way.
:
01:45:30,876 --> 01:45:33,179
You think you drop rate to your size?
:
01:45:33,621 --> 01:45:37,889
That the drop rate for caches is tied to the size of your character.
:
01:45:37,889 --> 01:45:39,756
I don't think so.
:
01:45:39,953 --> 01:45:42,086
It sounds crazy, right?
:
01:45:43,784 --> 01:45:46,627
Well, because it is crazy.
:
01:45:46,627 --> 01:45:47,329
It is crazy.
:
01:45:47,329 --> 01:45:49,120
I am now...
:
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:50,091
Okay, there we go.
:
01:45:50,091 --> 01:45:51,196
That's probably 100.
:
01:45:51,196 --> 01:45:53,393
I probably killed over 100 now at this point.
:
01:45:53,393 --> 01:45:55,254
And guess how many caches have dropped?
:
01:45:57,764 --> 01:45:59,552
There is code for it actually though.
:
01:45:59,552 --> 01:46:01,067
There's,
:
01:46:02,933 --> 01:46:09,212
like a hundred I just killed a hundred and how many cash is one one cash.
:
01:46:12,495 --> 01:46:13,592
Bingo!
:
01:46:15,586 --> 01:46:16,586
you didn't get the bottom.
:
01:46:16,586 --> 01:46:17,606
Very nice.
:
01:46:17,606 --> 01:46:18,347
Very nice.
:
01:46:18,347 --> 01:46:25,257
by the way, I literally killed the gin, the last boss, and then the game crashed.
:
01:46:25,257 --> 01:46:27,007
And I was like, mother.
:
01:46:32,700 --> 01:46:33,971
Congratulations, Jimmy.
:
01:46:33,971 --> 01:46:34,762
Well done.
:
01:46:34,762 --> 01:46:35,400
Well done.
:
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:37,103
I close.
:
01:46:38,260 --> 01:46:41,466
I was going for that diagonal.
:
01:46:41,466 --> 01:46:43,908
I had blocked your diagonal with the Hellfallen.
:
01:46:43,908 --> 01:46:44,868
Yes.
:
01:46:45,709 --> 01:46:49,893
I was like, but I was in the middle of killing Familiar, so it's not like I was actually
at that point yet.
:
01:46:49,893 --> 01:46:53,636
Although I could have done Hellfallen why did Hellfallen before I did Hotel?
:
01:46:54,336 --> 01:46:55,317
What's that?
:
01:46:55,437 --> 01:46:57,738
I did Hellfallen before I did Hotel.
:
01:46:57,839 --> 01:46:59,880
Yeah, and I didn't see it.
:
01:46:59,929 --> 01:47:03,529
So it would have been like, well damn it, I don't have anywhere to go.
:
01:47:03,529 --> 01:47:04,559
That was the only one I had.
:
01:47:04,559 --> 01:47:15,189
That's why I said once I did the signets and I looked and you had done the wrist talismans
and you had done the luck talismans down at the bottom.
:
01:47:15,189 --> 01:47:19,189
Then I was like, well, I can't go that way and I can't go that way.
:
01:47:19,609 --> 01:47:21,549
The only way I can go is diagonal.
:
01:47:21,549 --> 01:47:24,399
If two person bingo, you would have more options.
:
01:47:24,399 --> 01:47:25,449
Yeah.
:
01:47:26,925 --> 01:47:28,746
Well even still, that's just you and me.
:
01:47:28,746 --> 01:47:29,867
you would have, sorry.
:
01:47:29,867 --> 01:47:35,972
So basically if Waffle wasn't playing, you would have had like row four to go for.
:
01:47:35,972 --> 01:47:36,733
Right, yes.
:
01:47:36,733 --> 01:47:37,203
Okay.
:
01:47:37,203 --> 01:47:40,015
That would have been the only one I think you could have gone for.
:
01:47:41,076 --> 01:47:45,179
Other than if you tried to do Hellfallen quicker, I suppose.
:
01:47:45,179 --> 01:47:48,891
But it's like after Dark of Gartham, maybe I could have tried Hellfallen, yeah.
:
01:47:51,625 --> 01:48:01,365
Like maybe could've done that with the familiars, but you may have already been in there
already, so I would've already been little bit I'm E12, so like doing Hellfallen story
:
01:48:01,365 --> 01:48:08,765
mode, which is also the only way you can do Hellfallen anyways, but is stupid fast, right?
:
01:48:08,765 --> 01:48:11,365
I'm just like, two-shotting a boss or something.
:
01:48:11,365 --> 01:48:13,841
And I can still do it fast.
:
01:48:15,529 --> 01:48:22,510
And then I mean, I would honestly say the scenarios are kind of like the evener because
those are just straight time.
:
01:48:22,510 --> 01:48:23,290
Right.
:
01:48:23,290 --> 01:48:31,470
So whether you're doing S and P one or 17, it does not matter.
:
01:48:31,470 --> 01:48:31,800
Right.
:
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:44,684
I mean, I guess technically the kill time on the boss could be if you were trying to win
like really hard, you would just do S and P one if only to make the boss timer shorter.
:
01:48:45,408 --> 01:48:46,218
Right?
:
01:48:46,399 --> 01:48:47,610
Sure.
:
01:48:47,610 --> 01:48:50,212
the waves are just timed, period, flat.
:
01:48:50,212 --> 01:48:51,063
Like, you can't do it.
:
01:48:51,063 --> 01:48:53,945
Like, no matter how fast you kill shit, the wave is the wave.
:
01:48:53,945 --> 01:48:54,546
Yeah.
:
01:48:54,546 --> 01:48:57,068
But the boss can be shortened.
:
01:48:57,489 --> 01:48:59,050
Now, I did as high as I could go.
:
01:48:59,050 --> 01:49:02,173
I did an E12 S &P because I just needed this to live.
:
01:49:02,173 --> 01:49:03,150
You know?
:
01:49:03,150 --> 01:49:12,137
But if I was racing someone, I would do level one just so that the boss timer is quicker,
I guess.
:
01:49:16,837 --> 01:49:18,137
Yeah, I don't know.
:
01:49:18,977 --> 01:49:21,437
And again, this is is set for lockout.
:
01:49:21,437 --> 01:49:25,497
If you play without lockout, then we both could have been marking squares.
:
01:49:25,597 --> 01:49:26,657
Right.
:
01:49:27,657 --> 01:49:29,227
Then I wouldn't have had to have chosen.
:
01:49:29,227 --> 01:49:30,997
I would have I probably would have done darker Garth.
:
01:49:30,997 --> 01:49:32,777
I probably would have done something else.
:
01:49:34,834 --> 01:49:38,116
But I was like, I'm doing it, I'm doing it, I'm going for it.
:
01:49:38,677 --> 01:49:45,404
I went for the bottom one because I felt like it was probably the fastest, but I'm not, I
guess I'm not positive.
:
01:49:45,404 --> 01:49:54,695
Maybe, so like column one is the thing I didn't like about a lot of the other ones is they
have like kill a hundred of stuff, right?
:
01:49:54,695 --> 01:49:57,644
A hundred ghouls and a hundred cultists in column one.
:
01:49:57,644 --> 01:49:59,455
Everything else is fast.
:
01:49:59,636 --> 01:50:01,717
Empower, empower, empower, right?
:
01:50:01,717 --> 01:50:03,995
Like those are really, really fast.
:
01:50:03,995 --> 01:50:16,968
Mm-hmm, but killing 200 of anything I mean I did have to go to the to the auction hall and
and find if I sign it's the stuff in there That's why yeah, I had to buy a salt rifle.
:
01:50:16,968 --> 01:50:28,055
I'm like, don't have Yeah, yeah same I was like, yeah the assault rifle that I have is it
even though I've just been playing so I think I've done two streams so far Where I was
:
01:50:28,055 --> 01:50:32,137
playing bingo like just with my own dailies just okay what I could do
:
01:50:32,326 --> 01:50:33,138
And,
:
01:50:35,683 --> 01:50:50,097
I will say that I have straight up with my legendary gear paid like 2k to rip out a glyph
that's maxed to put in a non-level glyph in order to empower that glyph in that slot to
:
01:50:50,097 --> 01:50:53,580
get the challenge and then rip it back out and put the right glyph back in.
:
01:50:53,580 --> 01:50:56,762
Like just to make the, just to get the bingo card, you know?
:
01:50:59,789 --> 01:51:01,075
But no, I was,
:
01:51:03,440 --> 01:51:04,121
go back a bit.
:
01:51:04,121 --> 01:51:13,128
When I started thinking that there was a correlation between your character's height and
drop rate for caches, it was because of the FutureTech cache.
:
01:51:13,128 --> 01:51:18,093
Before they instituted, before they, they started with the, what cache do they have for
Halloween?
:
01:51:18,093 --> 01:51:19,274
It was the...
:
01:51:20,924 --> 01:51:21,894
think of it.
:
01:51:23,875 --> 01:51:24,585
The haunted cash.
:
01:51:24,585 --> 01:51:25,315
Yes.
:
01:51:25,315 --> 01:51:29,279
They had the haunted cash for Halloween and they had the future tech cash before that.
:
01:51:29,279 --> 01:51:35,380
And so I was like, I'm going to go farm some future tech cashes so I can get my stack back
up to 100.
:
01:51:35,380 --> 01:51:43,825
Because when we did the show where during the anniversary where you were giving away the
keys and I was giving away the cashes.
:
01:51:43,825 --> 01:51:44,705
Yeah.
:
01:51:44,705 --> 01:51:46,726
Almost everyone asked for future tech.
:
01:51:47,006 --> 01:51:47,806
Yeah.
:
01:51:47,818 --> 01:51:48,159
Right.
:
01:51:48,159 --> 01:51:53,301
And so and I guess they took notice of that and they said, hey, we're bringing back future
tech.
:
01:51:54,201 --> 01:51:56,203
Because we have not had it in a long time.
:
01:51:56,203 --> 01:52:00,125
And so I use that time to bring my future tech cash stack back up to 100.
:
01:52:00,125 --> 01:52:06,168
And I was sitting there farming zombies for what felt like forever.
:
01:52:06,408 --> 01:52:08,271
And I only got like five.
:
01:52:08,271 --> 01:52:11,252
You get like a diminishing return as well.
:
01:52:11,332 --> 01:52:12,612
I'm not sure.
:
01:52:12,808 --> 01:52:23,674
Like Vomr said, like, of the day, but I think it might also be one of those things where
it's like, maybe not of the day for you, but like of the day, period.
:
01:52:23,849 --> 01:52:25,476
I mean, like of anyone's day.
:
01:52:25,476 --> 01:52:28,077
my gosh, wait, my cat's behind the computer again.
:
01:52:28,348 --> 01:52:31,018
Is he going to decided to cut you off?
:
01:52:31,018 --> 01:52:31,869
Quite possibly.
:
01:52:31,869 --> 01:52:33,459
It's bedtime.
:
01:52:33,459 --> 01:52:35,680
I'm biting through your power cord now.
:
01:52:37,353 --> 01:52:37,981
How did you get back?
:
01:52:37,981 --> 01:52:39,362
How did you get back there?
:
01:52:40,937 --> 01:52:42,819
Okay, well I can't reach her.
:
01:52:42,819 --> 01:52:45,521
Ways and means, that's how I get back there.
:
01:52:45,521 --> 01:52:46,923
Gosh, this cat.
:
01:52:46,923 --> 01:52:59,263
Okay, so just as an example of how I know this is a thing in Seeker World in general is
that, you remember in scenarios dropped augments in TSW?
:
01:52:59,263 --> 01:53:01,795
they could drop gold augments, they were rare.
:
01:53:04,476 --> 01:53:15,916
Which is behind me the drops rate of that seemed like horrible like just but but then also
some people were just like have this rain gold for them and then other people it gets you
:
01:53:15,916 --> 01:53:18,203
go like never get a fucking goal, right?
:
01:53:18,224 --> 01:53:30,791
Okay, and I remember specifically tilty addressing that on a dev stream was that the
correct amount of gold augments were Being given out like the the code was like, you know,
:
01:53:30,791 --> 01:53:33,308
so many X gold augments should
:
01:53:33,308 --> 01:53:35,851
be given out a day essentially, right?
:
01:53:35,851 --> 01:53:38,676
Like didn't want to flood the system with Go Log Rants.
:
01:53:38,676 --> 01:53:42,190
However, the way it was doing it was like,
:
01:53:43,822 --> 01:53:45,113
was not spread out.
:
01:53:45,113 --> 01:53:55,121
basically whoever was in the time zone that was on after like the server restart or after
that the internal ticker ticked over like got on those fuckers that would rain gold and
:
01:53:55,121 --> 01:53:57,024
everyone else would be fucked for the rest of the day.
:
01:53:57,024 --> 01:53:59,856
And they're like no the server's giving out the right amount of gold.
:
01:53:59,856 --> 01:54:01,877
They're like it's perfectly fine.
:
01:54:01,877 --> 01:54:11,715
You're like is it all the same fucking time jackass and all of the same people which
explains like shoddy was always up like
:
01:54:11,823 --> 01:54:25,246
in the morning like in Germany and he every time he did his S &Ps he fucking gold and then
by the time I get online and do my in my morning nothing interesting okay like just know
:
01:54:25,246 --> 01:54:26,006
that
:
01:54:27,716 --> 01:54:39,185
It's a thing that the game has done in the past where it's said like there's a drop rate
and we're making it sort of thin out after it's reached a certain amount, but it's not
:
01:54:39,185 --> 01:54:40,557
necessarily for you.
:
01:54:40,557 --> 01:54:43,719
It can be server wide, right?
:
01:54:43,719 --> 01:54:44,700
Okay.
:
01:54:44,700 --> 01:54:51,885
And they've in the past done incorrect waiting or essentially no waiting at all.
:
01:54:52,106 --> 01:54:56,369
And so they just sort of go when they go and then they...
:
01:54:58,246 --> 01:55:01,088
sort of disappear or get super rare.
:
01:55:01,388 --> 01:55:02,468
Okay.
:
01:55:02,789 --> 01:55:10,735
So I would be more inclined to think that something like that is happening with the cash
than your size.
:
01:55:10,735 --> 01:55:11,836
Than my size?
:
01:55:11,836 --> 01:55:14,017
Well, the only thing I had to go off of was my size.
:
01:55:14,017 --> 01:55:17,960
So the only way to really test this would I would have to basically...
:
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:20,402
say, think about this, think about this, Mikey.
:
01:55:20,483 --> 01:55:21,704
FutureTech came back.
:
01:55:21,704 --> 01:55:23,025
Everyone likes FutureTech.
:
01:55:23,025 --> 01:55:26,833
How many people out there are out there farming FutureTech caches right now?
:
01:55:26,833 --> 01:55:29,804
or just when that started happening, right?
:
01:55:29,804 --> 01:55:30,405
Yeah.
:
01:55:30,405 --> 01:55:36,167
So it's likely that other people were doing it and getting, essentially just stealing
drops from you.
:
01:55:36,167 --> 01:55:37,567
You were being robbed.
:
01:55:37,863 --> 01:55:39,098
It's fair, yeah.
:
01:55:39,098 --> 01:55:40,429
And that's fair too.
:
01:55:40,523 --> 01:55:49,092
I think that was the more likely outcome than arbitrarily tying the Than having the drop
rate be based off of some random variable.
:
01:55:49,413 --> 01:55:52,604
Now, I would love to know that that is a true thing.
:
01:55:52,604 --> 01:55:55,155
they were just like, fuck short people.
:
01:55:55,155 --> 01:55:59,295
Well, that's like my theory of, how do I test this?
:
01:55:59,295 --> 01:56:01,115
How do we test this?
:
01:56:01,315 --> 01:56:02,916
You have to make a tall character.
:
01:56:02,916 --> 01:56:07,816
I would have to have an extra tall character, you'd have to farm zombies at the same time.
:
01:56:07,816 --> 01:56:13,656
Make a new character and make it male, because males in Seagrille are taller by default
anyways.
:
01:56:13,656 --> 01:56:18,976
So make a new male character and make the slider all the way up, and then go...
:
01:56:18,976 --> 01:56:21,402
But the thing is, I think when you...
:
01:56:21,402 --> 01:56:26,033
So you have to get to a certain level like what 15 for cash is to even drop for you.
:
01:56:26,033 --> 01:56:34,436
And like when you first get a cash, it does seem like you get a bunch just in general,
like the game sort of knows that you've never gotten any or something.
:
01:56:34,436 --> 01:56:34,996
Right.
:
01:56:34,996 --> 01:56:40,757
It seems like anyways, that could just be like confirmation bias, honestly.
:
01:56:40,757 --> 01:56:41,438
Right.
:
01:56:41,438 --> 01:56:49,240
But even as you said, if it's like a time based thing and other people are stealing them
at the same time, then the only thing that would really make sense is that if someone else
:
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:50,560
was there.
:
01:56:50,588 --> 01:57:02,965
at the same time, very tall, and we both farmed stuff simultaneously, because if the time-
You have to do it at a time that you assume is dead.
:
01:57:04,847 --> 01:57:09,479
as well because otherwise you have no idea what other people are screwing both them.
:
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:10,840
True.
:
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:11,821
Potentially.
:
01:57:11,821 --> 01:57:15,543
True, but if they're screwing both participants over at the same time.
:
01:57:15,703 --> 01:57:19,235
Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's equal, right?
:
01:57:20,861 --> 01:57:30,761
I'm just saying you need to lower the amount of variables so you would want it if you're
trying to do your scientific test of this You'd want to do it at like I don't know 10 p.m.
:
01:57:30,761 --> 01:57:48,201
EST or something like or even a even 11 you want like the end of East Coast but before but
like really you Okay, or or late West Coast gets on like There's there is a dead zone kind
:
01:57:48,201 --> 01:57:49,601
of between
:
01:57:49,669 --> 01:57:55,052
Right, and so then I would have to, but even doing it on different days, even that itself
is a different...
:
01:57:55,052 --> 01:57:57,573
Yeah, even a different day could matter potentially.
:
01:57:57,573 --> 01:57:58,793
Could matter potentially as well.
:
01:57:58,793 --> 01:58:08,087
So I'd have to have, that's why I feel like having someone else there simultaneously,
doing it at the same time that would be of a normal or taller height, that if we both
:
01:58:08,087 --> 01:58:16,410
basically kill, try to kill the same amount of zombies like in New England, say, jumping
on a car and killing the same amount of zombies in the same amount of time,
:
01:58:16,794 --> 01:58:23,286
that we should, in theory, end up with the same amount, right?
:
01:58:26,684 --> 01:58:41,082
I mean, not necessarily, but I mean, within a margin, you know, within like within a what
is what is the general margin for randomization like 5 % I think it's within 5 % Yeah.
:
01:58:42,832 --> 01:58:44,175
That it's like within...
:
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:48,409
I'm soup, soup baby.
:
01:58:50,156 --> 01:58:51,098
Soup with a floating head.
:
01:58:51,098 --> 01:58:56,476
Electric soup, it's very I'm on the mailbox.
:
01:58:56,546 --> 01:58:57,547
Hold on a sec.
:
01:58:57,547 --> 01:59:01,493
seem to have, yeah, not the easiest time jumping or at least, there you go.
:
01:59:04,685 --> 01:59:08,431
Yeah, well for me I was on it, but it's one of those desync things, right?
:
01:59:08,431 --> 01:59:09,571
yeah, yeah.
:
01:59:10,073 --> 01:59:15,751
So I was just trying to get to where it looks like I'm on it for both me and Waffle.
:
01:59:17,971 --> 01:59:18,816
Understandable.
:
01:59:18,816 --> 01:59:20,024
Understandable.
:
01:59:22,047 --> 01:59:29,740
So I thought, yeah, would I try to remove as many variables as possible?
:
01:59:29,740 --> 01:59:39,984
And I didn't even know about the variable that it's like when during the day and based on
how many have dropped server-wide already.
:
01:59:40,865 --> 01:59:45,227
So it really does make sense to kind of try to do it at the same exact time.
:
01:59:45,487 --> 01:59:50,629
Because otherwise, if it's a set amount, then whoever I would do first would then be
:
01:59:52,071 --> 01:59:57,770
automatically taking drops from whoever I did second, you know?
:
01:59:58,272 --> 01:59:59,193
Yeah.
:
02:00:00,895 --> 02:00:04,076
How do I make this use a scientific method?
:
02:00:08,561 --> 02:00:10,934
scientific method to try to figure out how to test.
:
02:00:10,934 --> 02:00:13,487
Because it just seems stupid low.
:
02:00:13,487 --> 02:00:23,017
And remember, when we were, the last show we did around Halloween, I was going around
while we were listening to the thing, while we listening to the radio broadcast, I was
:
02:00:23,017 --> 02:00:24,148
going around just killing zombies.
:
02:00:24,148 --> 02:00:27,001
Because I was trying to get caches.
:
02:00:27,001 --> 02:00:32,335
And I killed a whole bunch of zombies and got like four.
:
02:00:32,949 --> 02:00:38,530
And you were just like, because we were grouped up, you were just like, there are caches
everywhere.
:
02:00:38,530 --> 02:00:41,290
You got like 30 or something.
:
02:00:43,546 --> 02:00:46,379
Yeah, yeah, I was definitely taking yours for sure.
:
02:00:46,379 --> 02:00:46,639
Yeah.
:
02:00:46,639 --> 02:00:48,710
And so it's like, wait a minute.
:
02:00:49,371 --> 02:00:52,594
How come I got so few and you got so many?
:
02:00:52,594 --> 02:00:55,816
And right then I tried and I was like, that's weird.
:
02:00:55,816 --> 02:01:02,722
And then I just tried to farm some and yeah, I was I was in there just killing for like an
hour and I got like five.
:
02:01:02,722 --> 02:01:06,975
And I was like, how how is my drop rate on this so poor?
:
02:01:07,437 --> 02:01:13,217
I did not think that the drop rate on caches should be that poor, you know?
:
02:01:15,769 --> 02:01:18,730
So I don't know, that's my hypothesis.
:
02:01:18,730 --> 02:01:30,817
My hypothesis is that something affected, something I'm doing specifically is affecting,
or something about my character personally is affecting a drop rate.
:
02:01:30,817 --> 02:01:34,619
the, obviously the thing that changed has been my height.
:
02:01:34,619 --> 02:01:36,520
And I don't know.
:
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:42,672
I don't think it's completely unheard of to say that they tied whatever the drop rate was
to some random variable.
:
02:01:42,696 --> 02:01:46,228
that it would not change per character too much.
:
02:01:48,170 --> 02:01:53,776
And, you know, general changes in height, you're not going to get giant differences in
height.
:
02:01:53,896 --> 02:01:56,000
And just tie that to drop rate.
:
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:57,100
Yes.
:
02:01:58,062 --> 02:01:59,504
For testing purposes.
:
02:01:59,504 --> 02:02:00,625
Let's go.
:
02:02:02,778 --> 02:02:05,639
Yeah, just, like, I know what you're saying.
:
02:02:05,639 --> 02:02:06,680
just don't.
:
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:07,010
Yeah.
:
02:02:07,010 --> 02:02:09,840
that's the thing is like, it doesn't make much sense.
:
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:13,660
really, but really what does, what does make sense?
:
02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:14,800
Are we doing this?
:
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:15,260
we're doing this.
:
02:02:15,260 --> 02:02:16,320
I know stuff can be jank.
:
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:20,880
I'm just saying like, I feel like that's super unlikely.
:
02:02:21,660 --> 02:02:22,890
Yes, it is.
:
02:02:22,890 --> 02:02:24,866
It's absolutely unlikely.
:
02:02:27,276 --> 02:02:39,256
You would be like now that said I could somehow see it still being tied to a variable
that's impacted by your height I'm so tall I still can't jump over the fence like What
:
02:02:39,256 --> 02:02:40,796
doesn't change your jump height?
:
02:02:40,796 --> 02:02:51,636
I know No, don't know go the other way you doing yeah that way there's a jump right there
No, right there you go.
:
02:02:51,636 --> 02:02:52,900
There you go
:
02:02:54,678 --> 02:02:56,374
Wait, we're not in the same instance.
:
02:03:00,172 --> 02:03:03,725
Cause I saw, I've already seen like two or three other people running around in this dead
game.
:
02:03:03,725 --> 02:03:06,808
Yeah, the game is so dead.
:
02:03:06,808 --> 02:03:08,980
Well, are you in the same spot he is?
:
02:03:08,980 --> 02:03:09,671
He's over here.
:
02:03:09,671 --> 02:03:10,381
don't know why.
:
02:03:10,381 --> 02:03:13,683
Why are you hunting zombies over here?
:
02:03:14,965 --> 02:03:16,426
By the Sheriff's office.
:
02:03:17,127 --> 02:03:17,908
Yeah, you're not there.
:
02:03:17,908 --> 02:03:18,908
I see where you're supposed to be.
:
02:03:18,908 --> 02:03:24,653
You want to go in the front, the first strip from like the first well.
:
02:03:29,447 --> 02:03:30,940
You know, the, the...
:
02:03:30,940 --> 02:03:31,489
From Boone?
:
02:03:31,489 --> 02:03:32,581
The roadway.
:
02:03:32,703 --> 02:03:33,625
Yeah.
:
02:03:33,625 --> 02:03:34,425
Yeah.
:
02:03:35,953 --> 02:03:44,852
you go to the roadway leading up to like packs of four zombies like on both sides all the
way down I see I'm just thinking
:
02:03:47,773 --> 02:03:50,113
Yeah, well, I should be in the same instance as you now.
:
02:03:50,113 --> 02:03:50,863
There you are.
:
02:03:50,863 --> 02:03:51,843
There's my giant boy.
:
02:03:51,843 --> 02:03:53,294
There you go.
:
02:03:53,294 --> 02:03:55,395
I was supposed to step on you.
:
02:03:55,395 --> 02:03:57,596
I literally come up to your foot.
:
02:03:57,596 --> 02:04:00,256
You are an ankle biter.
:
02:04:00,256 --> 02:04:00,986
you have all?
:
02:04:00,986 --> 02:04:02,436
No, wait, you have flash freeze.
:
02:04:02,436 --> 02:04:06,016
I was going to say, you have like almost all single target abilities.
:
02:04:06,816 --> 02:04:09,722
I would say so the best way to do this is we find a car.
:
02:04:10,098 --> 02:04:12,689
that has the alarm on it, right?
:
02:04:13,690 --> 02:04:15,551
Yeah, you can just keep jumping and spawning.
:
02:04:15,551 --> 02:04:18,423
And then I'll keep jumping, right, and then they'll just pull more.
:
02:04:18,423 --> 02:04:23,216
So if I do this red car and you go do this car over here.
:
02:04:25,180 --> 02:04:34,068
are you the director of the s that works out of this car it will kill a whole bunch and
will count how many cash is yet just jump
:
02:04:44,701 --> 02:04:46,324
You desperately need an AOE.
:
02:04:46,324 --> 02:04:48,096
So I got the right 12 so far.
:
02:04:48,096 --> 02:04:50,389
That's 16 down.
:
02:04:50,670 --> 02:04:59,172
I think if you just swapped your Chaos ability on your right click for Schism, I think you
kill them in one click, I think.
:
02:05:01,598 --> 02:05:05,777
Yeah, if I went to hammer I would have been a lot or sword or something.
:
02:05:08,522 --> 02:05:08,602
24.
:
02:05:08,602 --> 02:05:12,441
No, but I mean, I mean, these things are like level one, they'll die instantly.
:
02:05:12,441 --> 02:05:13,414
You just you just need an AOE.
:
02:05:13,414 --> 02:05:14,269
That's all.
:
02:05:14,269 --> 02:05:16,381
Yeah, you just need something just to tap them.
:
02:05:16,381 --> 02:05:17,222
Yeah.
:
02:05:20,872 --> 02:05:22,267
Okay, I got one.
:
02:05:23,976 --> 02:05:25,175
I mean, so far...
:
02:05:28,052 --> 02:05:31,572
So, so far I got 36...
:
02:05:31,572 --> 02:05:32,959
40 zombies.
:
02:05:32,959 --> 02:05:33,920
I got two.
:
02:05:40,416 --> 02:05:42,077
44 zombies.
:
02:05:43,158 --> 02:05:44,818
So far I have none.
:
02:05:45,056 --> 02:05:45,481
48.
:
02:05:45,481 --> 02:05:45,991
none.
:
02:05:45,991 --> 02:05:47,021
Okay.
:
02:05:47,522 --> 02:05:49,373
Yeah, he doesn't have any cash.
:
02:05:49,373 --> 02:05:50,823
That's what I said.
:
02:05:51,777 --> 02:05:53,061
52.
:
02:05:54,817 --> 02:05:56,965
You don't have 52 caches, stop that.
:
02:05:56,965 --> 02:05:59,231
No, 56 zombies I've killed.
:
02:06:01,753 --> 02:06:02,833
60.
:
02:06:04,813 --> 02:06:05,825
That's what you're counting.
:
02:06:05,825 --> 02:06:07,295
It's like, are you counting?
:
02:06:07,295 --> 02:06:08,006
I'm not counting.
:
02:06:08,006 --> 02:06:09,581
I'm not counting caches.
:
02:06:10,785 --> 02:06:15,473
I thought this, but isn't that, well, isn't that what you're going to be doing?
:
02:06:16,276 --> 02:06:17,107
Right?
:
02:06:18,585 --> 02:06:22,946
I'm trying to see like if I kill like a hundred like how many out of a hundred.
:
02:06:22,946 --> 02:06:23,974
I see what you mean.
:
02:06:38,582 --> 02:06:39,862
So far nothing.
:
02:06:39,862 --> 02:06:47,462
I know, I haven't been Waffle doesn't believe in, much like the daily logins, Waffle does
not believe in AOE abilities.
:
02:06:47,462 --> 02:06:50,142
That's what I mean, like I don't they exist.
:
02:06:52,234 --> 02:06:55,275
He is a monogamous spider, okay?
:
02:06:56,536 --> 02:06:57,536
Yeah.
:
02:06:57,636 --> 02:07:00,119
I give each one my personal attention.
:
02:07:00,119 --> 02:07:01,376
It's so kind of you.
:
02:07:01,376 --> 02:07:03,958
I really like monogamous spider, that thing.
:
02:07:03,958 --> 02:07:04,648
Okay, there.
:
02:07:04,648 --> 02:07:05,999
I've killed a hundred.
:
02:07:05,999 --> 02:07:09,920
I'll say the point is that I am killing them a lot faster than he is.
:
02:07:10,121 --> 02:07:13,013
I don't think we've been keeping track of how many he's killed.
:
02:07:13,582 --> 02:07:14,886
I haven't been.
:
02:07:14,886 --> 02:07:15,888
keep track.
:
02:07:15,888 --> 02:07:19,781
It kind of doesn't help the scientific part of it.
:
02:07:19,781 --> 02:07:20,432
does not.
:
02:07:20,432 --> 02:07:29,218
But the fact that you haven't gotten one, I do think is probably indicative because out of
those out of those hundred, I did only get three.
:
02:07:30,749 --> 02:07:32,188
so you got you got I thought you only had one.
:
02:07:32,188 --> 02:07:32,721
You got three.
:
02:07:32,721 --> 02:07:34,582
OK, I got three.
:
02:07:35,363 --> 02:07:39,107
Which is actually pretty a lot more than I was expecting it yet.
:
02:07:39,635 --> 02:07:45,803
especially if think about it in terms of packs right because they come in four you know
what mean
:
02:07:47,251 --> 02:07:52,511
So what is, how many packs is that?
:
02:07:52,511 --> 02:07:55,171
25, 25 packs is 100.
:
02:07:55,911 --> 02:07:59,491
Yeah, so out of 25 packs, you got three caches.
:
02:07:59,491 --> 02:08:00,427
Yeah.
:
02:08:01,937 --> 02:08:06,091
Which if that was like how it was getting before, that would have been fine.
:
02:08:06,653 --> 02:08:07,273
Yeah.
:
02:08:07,273 --> 02:08:13,720
it had something to do closer with the FutureTech cache, you know, maybe being changed out
or something.
:
02:08:14,261 --> 02:08:16,424
That it was just...
:
02:08:17,516 --> 02:08:18,597
I got one.
:
02:08:25,851 --> 02:08:27,415
as Darkgartha.
:
02:08:33,137 --> 02:08:33,628
That's fine.
:
02:08:33,628 --> 02:08:38,085
I don't think it mattered necessarily which cash you get just that a cash dropped
:
02:08:42,388 --> 02:08:44,089
Looted for science.
:
02:08:45,148 --> 02:08:46,711
So we got one.
:
02:08:46,811 --> 02:08:48,052
For science!
:
02:08:48,052 --> 02:08:49,573
Okay, alright.
:
02:08:49,573 --> 02:08:52,685
So I'm gonna say yes, potentially busted.
:
02:08:52,685 --> 02:08:54,796
That's not actual.
:
02:08:55,657 --> 02:08:56,939
Cause if you were getting like...
:
02:08:56,939 --> 02:08:59,661
Well how many are over here?
:
02:09:00,542 --> 02:09:01,832
From the ones that I was killing.
:
02:09:01,832 --> 02:09:02,663
we're not grouped up.
:
02:09:02,663 --> 02:09:03,764
You wouldn't see them.
:
02:09:03,764 --> 02:09:04,664
No.
:
02:09:05,165 --> 02:09:06,155
That's fair.
:
02:09:22,721 --> 02:09:26,025
Okay, that makes me feel at least a little bit better.
:
02:09:26,507 --> 02:09:27,229
Well, not better.
:
02:09:27,229 --> 02:09:28,400
Validated.
:
02:09:30,778 --> 02:09:31,539
No?
:
02:09:34,342 --> 02:09:37,680
Because the other alternative is just my luck was just really shitty.
:
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:42,207
That's the other real explanation is just terrible luck.
:
02:09:51,464 --> 02:09:53,283
See, I see how fun it is to be tall.
:
02:09:56,934 --> 02:09:58,368
I was tall for a good couple months.
:
02:09:58,368 --> 02:10:00,192
Okay, I 25 packs.
:
02:10:00,192 --> 02:10:02,757
I got six cash drops.
:
02:10:02,757 --> 02:10:06,183
One was a belt and the other five were caches.
:
02:10:06,345 --> 02:10:07,236
Okay.
:
02:10:14,254 --> 02:10:14,714
So...
:
02:10:14,714 --> 02:10:16,155
Yeah, it just doesn't like you.
:
02:10:16,155 --> 02:10:21,555
In fact, just killed another pack and could just be that my luck is just terrible, which,
I mean, that would track.
:
02:10:23,871 --> 02:10:32,091
Seven drops, six of which were caches out of 104 zombies.
:
02:10:32,751 --> 02:10:35,531
My ratio is way better than yours at this point.
:
02:10:35,531 --> 02:10:36,693
Yeah.
:
02:10:39,423 --> 02:10:51,823
As an even most scientific things, believe generally when it comes to even a sense of
randomness, they're like anything above like with enough instances, like a hundred is not
:
02:10:51,823 --> 02:10:54,183
a whole metric ton of instances.
:
02:10:54,183 --> 02:10:59,664
If we were trying to really get this down, we'd be like, all right, how many can we do out
of like a thousand zombie kills?
:
02:10:59,664 --> 02:11:03,632
10 times the amount that we did.
:
02:11:05,849 --> 02:11:06,663
but
:
02:11:09,132 --> 02:11:16,532
But generally when you start getting more more instances like that, that I believe it's
generally about 5%.
:
02:11:16,532 --> 02:11:18,892
It's like 5 to 10%.
:
02:11:18,892 --> 02:11:22,912
That they would account for just straight up randomness.
:
02:11:23,472 --> 02:11:32,832
And that if their results come within like 5 to 10 % of each other, they can just be like,
well, yeah, that is within like pure randomness range.
:
02:11:32,832 --> 02:11:33,882
It doesn't prove anything.
:
02:11:33,882 --> 02:11:34,724
Right.
:
02:11:36,556 --> 02:11:40,096
Alright, so I did 35 so far and I got 1.
:
02:11:40,536 --> 02:11:41,676
Okay.
:
02:11:42,236 --> 02:11:44,936
I mean it could also be- it could also go the other way around.
:
02:11:44,936 --> 02:11:47,857
It could also be that because you're tall.
:
02:11:47,857 --> 02:11:49,558
Now I'm just getting silly.
:
02:11:49,558 --> 02:11:51,818
The silliest of billiest.
:
02:11:51,879 --> 02:11:52,871
40.
:
02:12:01,911 --> 02:12:08,302
But at least you're making me feel better because you're showing me that you have times
you're having worse luck than I am.
:
02:12:15,297 --> 02:12:19,299
Alright so 50 I got another one now.
:
02:12:19,422 --> 02:12:20,253
Okay.
:
02:12:31,479 --> 02:12:34,290
Dude, do it our loose experimentation.
:
02:12:37,985 --> 02:12:39,079
That's what she said.
:
02:12:39,079 --> 02:12:42,750
I just, I just like watching you through the forest because
:
02:12:44,683 --> 02:12:50,233
You're giant, so just like, dum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, just walking through the forest.
:
02:12:50,233 --> 02:12:51,755
causing chaos.
:
02:12:52,627 --> 02:12:53,719
here's some zombies.
:
02:12:53,719 --> 02:12:56,084
Let me give them individual attention.
:
02:12:56,084 --> 02:12:56,924
Yeah.
:
02:12:59,353 --> 02:13:05,302
Well, it's because people, everybody else like you guys just go through and take them out
in groups.
:
02:13:05,302 --> 02:13:09,788
I'm like, I'm going to sit with each one of you.
:
02:13:09,788 --> 02:13:12,512
No one thinks of the zombies feelings.
:
02:13:12,512 --> 02:13:13,463
Yeah.
:
02:13:18,905 --> 02:13:21,319
definition of a serial monogamous.
:
02:13:24,784 --> 02:13:28,044
Won't anyone think of the zombies?
:
02:13:28,044 --> 02:13:30,124
Alright, so I'm getting like...
:
02:13:30,124 --> 02:13:32,924
roughly about 40...
:
02:13:32,924 --> 02:13:34,738
zombies, I get a cash.
:
02:13:36,922 --> 02:13:37,912
There's another one here.
:
02:13:37,912 --> 02:13:39,433
Okay.
:
02:13:41,648 --> 02:13:50,029
40 zombies is the 40 to 50 The the metric that we're going with is ZPC zombies per cash.
:
02:13:50,029 --> 02:13:54,529
Yeah What's your ZPC?
:
02:13:54,609 --> 02:13:56,309
Rating what did I say?
:
02:13:56,309 --> 02:14:00,189
I got a hundred and I got My name is a four.
:
02:14:00,189 --> 02:14:10,025
No three three Yeah, I've got three in my inventory So that's a thirty three point three
:
02:14:10,802 --> 02:14:11,703
ZPC.
:
02:14:11,703 --> 02:14:12,904
I just did a bunch.
:
02:14:12,904 --> 02:14:15,822
had my challenges, my bonus ones kicked in.
:
02:14:15,822 --> 02:14:18,826
I had a hundred monster kill thing to do.
:
02:14:19,207 --> 02:14:22,008
And in all of that, think I got one cash.
:
02:14:22,288 --> 02:14:23,325
OK, all right.
:
02:14:23,325 --> 02:14:28,830
Even though I just had a shit ton of my other, you know, the first hundred or so I did.
:
02:14:29,271 --> 02:14:34,253
So see, that's why I said, you know, generally it's the and I'm and I'm soup.
:
02:14:34,253 --> 02:14:36,173
So yes.
:
02:14:36,438 --> 02:14:40,168
Just saying we're keeping we're keeping strict variables here.
:
02:14:40,168 --> 02:14:45,560
Yes soup and Yeah, you don't know how tall soup is right soup is
:
02:14:49,171 --> 02:14:51,225
I mean, soup is pretty...
:
02:14:51,225 --> 02:14:53,019
The soup itself is pretty small.
:
02:14:53,019 --> 02:14:54,131
It's pretty small.
:
02:14:54,131 --> 02:14:54,913
Right.
:
02:14:54,913 --> 02:14:56,955
got 30 and I got another one.
:
02:14:57,157 --> 02:14:59,721
You're taller than the soup bowl is.
:
02:15:02,558 --> 02:15:04,219
It's true, I am.
:
02:15:05,042 --> 02:15:07,026
I think your luck is just bad.
:
02:15:07,026 --> 02:15:11,252
Roughly like you said, anywhere from 30 to 50 zombies, get one.
:
02:15:11,294 --> 02:15:12,114
Okay.
:
02:15:18,326 --> 02:15:21,666
I could try doing another 100.
:
02:15:21,666 --> 02:15:22,907
See if I get any more.
:
02:15:22,907 --> 02:15:24,627
actually, this is 10.
:
02:15:24,627 --> 02:15:26,367
I got another one.
:
02:15:28,072 --> 02:15:29,912
And another one.
:
02:15:30,492 --> 02:15:31,852
And another one.
:
02:15:31,852 --> 02:15:33,362
So my- Let me do another 100.
:
02:15:33,362 --> 02:15:37,216
Let's see what My ZPC is good.
:
02:15:39,184 --> 02:15:40,313
in the green.
:
02:15:50,888 --> 02:15:54,249
Also, you have to do it one at a time.
:
02:15:54,289 --> 02:15:55,009
Is that big?
:
02:15:55,009 --> 02:15:57,061
You can't just do them all at the same time, Yeah.
:
02:15:57,061 --> 02:15:59,687
that's There's no shortcuts in life.
:
02:16:01,961 --> 02:16:03,891
There's like a billion shortcuts in life.
:
02:16:03,891 --> 02:16:05,701
I was gonna say, life is nothing but short.
:
02:16:05,701 --> 02:16:06,629
so wrong.
:
02:16:09,735 --> 02:16:10,346
Give one.
:
02:16:10,346 --> 02:16:11,807
See, look, I just got another one.
:
02:16:11,807 --> 02:16:13,270
One on one attention.
:
02:16:13,311 --> 02:16:14,793
You get rewarded.
:
02:16:20,745 --> 02:16:21,862
ridiculous.
:
02:16:25,513 --> 02:16:26,213
We
:
02:16:28,046 --> 02:16:29,619
Hello, fresh zombie.
:
02:16:33,601 --> 02:16:37,379
related to patient zero maybe yeah
:
02:16:44,636 --> 02:16:45,876
I'm up to 52.
:
02:16:45,876 --> 02:16:47,066
yes and you guys.
:
02:16:47,066 --> 02:16:48,417
That was some horseshit.
:
02:16:48,417 --> 02:16:50,798
Sorry, I was squirting my cat.
:
02:16:50,798 --> 02:16:53,098
I had go to all the trouble of setting up...
:
02:16:53,098 --> 02:16:54,118
That's what she said.
:
02:16:54,118 --> 02:16:55,218
...Patient and Lee.
:
02:16:55,218 --> 02:16:57,439
And he's just like, meh.
:
02:16:57,439 --> 02:16:58,120
Meh.
:
02:16:58,120 --> 02:16:58,780
Sorry.
:
02:16:58,780 --> 02:17:00,796
Sorry, I didn't hear it as well.
:
02:17:06,456 --> 02:17:09,313
Mike had decided to come over here and start chewing on papers.
:
02:17:14,018 --> 02:17:16,173
Okay, but I'm currently at,
:
02:17:18,551 --> 02:17:19,956
I think 72 zombies?
:
02:17:23,005 --> 02:17:24,890
76 zombies.
:
02:17:25,717 --> 02:17:28,084
And no, I'm not giving them individual attention.
:
02:17:28,125 --> 02:17:29,248
80.
:
02:17:34,589 --> 02:17:36,056
84.
:
02:17:39,965 --> 02:17:41,425
88.
:
02:17:42,386 --> 02:17:43,246
30.
:
02:17:43,246 --> 02:17:46,946
I'm getting all your your caches.
:
02:17:48,678 --> 02:17:51,280
96
:
02:17:52,903 --> 02:17:57,084
and 100 okay so out of that second hundred guess how many I got.
:
02:17:59,859 --> 02:18:00,481
Zero.
:
02:18:00,481 --> 02:18:03,068
I got zero, not a single one dropped.
:
02:18:03,068 --> 02:18:05,552
Because I'm getting them all.
:
02:18:07,673 --> 02:18:10,985
I'm not sure that was happening before, because you were farming and I was getting them.
:
02:18:13,881 --> 02:18:19,421
Because it's personal loot, so when things die, it's something they drop, right?
:
02:18:19,421 --> 02:18:23,041
So you actually don't want to be farming around other people.
:
02:18:23,261 --> 02:18:25,181
That's actually bad.
:
02:18:25,301 --> 02:18:26,161
Well, I'm...
:
02:18:26,161 --> 02:18:28,701
Remember how you were in the separate instance when we started?
:
02:18:28,701 --> 02:18:30,481
just stayed in the separate instance.
:
02:18:30,681 --> 02:18:31,841
Yeah.
:
02:18:31,841 --> 02:18:32,261
Because...
:
02:18:32,261 --> 02:18:34,361
I'm farming, but who's over on the car?
:
02:18:34,361 --> 02:18:35,261
Is that you, Mikey?
:
02:18:35,261 --> 02:18:36,101
That's me.
:
02:18:36,101 --> 02:18:41,171
Okay, so I'm going around near you, and I'm still getting caches.
:
02:18:41,171 --> 02:18:43,013
Like, I had this one that's right here.
:
02:18:43,309 --> 02:18:51,008
Right, what I'm saying is you'll see, if he kills something, it's possible that he kills
something and drops a cache that you see and he doesn't.
:
02:18:51,008 --> 02:18:53,520
it's, caches are individual loot.
:
02:18:54,441 --> 02:18:57,864
If you're like in the vicinity and it dies, right?
:
02:18:58,005 --> 02:19:01,207
Like, I can get caches from you.
:
02:19:06,789 --> 02:19:09,302
So, I'm just saying, like, eh.
:
02:19:11,868 --> 02:19:15,591
It could also be a distracting variable is basically what you're saying.
:
02:19:16,493 --> 02:19:18,344
An interrupting variable.
:
02:19:21,174 --> 02:19:22,974
massively so.
:
02:19:22,974 --> 02:19:25,614
I just got another one.
:
02:19:26,914 --> 02:19:35,714
Yeah, and see, I'm banking almost to another hundred and haven't seen haven't seen another
one yet.
:
02:19:35,714 --> 02:19:41,038
Like this group's just spawned in back in and I just got another one.
:
02:19:55,668 --> 02:19:57,458
I wonder how much we could get...
:
02:19:57,458 --> 02:19:58,543
we could like...
:
02:20:02,592 --> 02:20:07,458
Get one of the Funcom employees to really dig into the code and see what variable it's
attached to.
:
02:20:07,458 --> 02:20:09,120
We'd like a report, please.
:
02:20:09,120 --> 02:20:10,531
We are the Zero Point Report.
:
02:20:10,531 --> 02:20:11,892
We're Investigative Journalists.
:
02:20:11,892 --> 02:20:15,326
We're just doing a, considering this a bug report, maybe?
:
02:20:15,326 --> 02:20:19,631
We're requesting paperwork on how your cash drops work.
:
02:20:19,631 --> 02:20:21,993
There's a secret science.
:
02:20:22,814 --> 02:20:23,595
Maybe I'll report it.
:
02:20:23,595 --> 02:20:25,056
I'll report it as a bug.
:
02:20:26,680 --> 02:20:30,724
They'll give it to their QA team and the QA team will be like, what the hell is this
nonsense?
:
02:20:30,945 --> 02:20:40,877
We're not putting Sir, I believe that your cash drops is tied to height and we find that
to be patently offensive for the short community.
:
02:20:40,877 --> 02:20:42,959
That is discriminatory, sir.
:
02:20:48,536 --> 02:20:55,145
We ask that you cease this discrimination against our short brethren.
:
02:20:55,145 --> 02:20:55,806
That's right.
:
02:20:55,806 --> 02:20:59,429
The minifigs and supes of the world.
:
02:21:03,661 --> 02:21:07,314
And so was just, you know what will happen is someone just turn around and they'll be
like, well, how do we fix this?
:
02:21:07,314 --> 02:21:11,398
And they'll just be like, just put them back to regular height and I'll be like, no, wait,
no.
:
02:21:11,398 --> 02:21:11,818
Okay.
:
02:21:11,818 --> 02:21:12,408
I got one.
:
02:21:12,408 --> 02:21:17,721
Obviously you fixed it by making everyone in the entire server the same height as you.
:
02:21:17,783 --> 02:21:18,473
That's right.
:
02:21:18,473 --> 02:21:22,466
Everyone just comes to the next stage and like, the shit?
:
02:21:22,509 --> 02:21:23,527
Wouldn't make it even.
:
02:21:23,527 --> 02:21:25,028
Everyone's tiny.
:
02:21:25,899 --> 02:21:26,079
yeah.
:
02:21:26,079 --> 02:21:26,610
You didn't know that.
:
02:21:26,610 --> 02:21:29,412
And bees are, we're canonically bee size now.
:
02:21:30,250 --> 02:21:41,901
That's that's I got one I another 200 zombies and I got one more one more that would be a
really crazy like April Fool's That is that basically sounds like a great April Fool's
:
02:21:41,901 --> 02:21:49,807
thing Yeah, like everyone logs in and everyone's the size of a like a large physical be
What is happening right now
:
02:21:51,690 --> 02:21:56,306
It has precedence though, I have seen other games basically do stuff like that on...
:
02:21:56,306 --> 02:21:57,787
on April Fool's Day.
:
02:22:00,133 --> 02:22:03,870
I'm specifically thinking of like, Guild Wars 1, Guild Wars 2.
:
02:22:03,870 --> 02:22:07,035
They do some weird stuff on April Fool's Day.
:
02:22:09,133 --> 02:22:19,554
One of which was, I think it was Guild Wars 2 that did this, is everyone logged in on
April Fool's Day and the game world was like, had a sepia filter over it.
:
02:22:19,554 --> 02:22:21,036
So everything was like brown.
:
02:22:21,036 --> 02:22:28,122
And then whenever your character moved around, they spread their arms out like in a T
position and then made airplane noises.
:
02:22:28,122 --> 02:22:28,723
Awesome.
:
02:22:28,723 --> 02:22:30,767
So was just, your character just go around like,
:
02:22:30,767 --> 02:22:32,870
the entire time you're playing.
:
02:22:35,253 --> 02:22:38,067
And it's like, all right, that's pretty brilliant.
:
02:22:38,067 --> 02:22:39,551
I do love that one.
:
02:22:41,682 --> 02:22:42,712
What's another good one?
:
02:22:42,712 --> 02:22:46,194
Star Trek Online for April Fool's Day.
:
02:22:46,194 --> 02:22:46,954
Yeah, you remember that.
:
02:22:46,954 --> 02:22:49,676
Yeah, no, I'm not just, yeah, I didn't just make that up, obviously, yeah.
:
02:22:49,676 --> 02:22:53,387
Another one was Star Trek Online.
:
02:22:53,387 --> 02:22:55,487
Now I believe you.
:
02:22:55,487 --> 02:22:57,578
I'm corroborated by Dan Van Dam.
:
02:22:58,398 --> 02:23:03,371
Thank you, thank you, Yeah, neeeewww.
:
02:23:03,371 --> 02:23:06,139
There was another one and it's, my other favorite was Star Trek Online.
:
02:23:06,139 --> 02:23:08,479
And I think Star Trek Online does this every April Fool's ...
:
02:23:08,479 --> 02:23:13,119
Day is they change all of the the laser sounds to just ...
:
02:23:13,119 --> 02:23:15,060
someone going pew pew pew.
:
02:23:15,060 --> 02:23:16,956
I love that one too.
:
02:23:21,168 --> 02:23:24,590
Overwatch does the googly eyes on everybody.
:
02:23:24,611 --> 02:23:25,291
Googly eyes?
:
02:23:25,291 --> 02:23:26,792
Googly eyes is pretty good.
:
02:23:28,153 --> 02:23:32,738
So Guild Wars 1, think they changed everyone's head size and so everyone's like a bobble
head.
:
02:23:32,738 --> 02:23:37,521
They did some like funny voice lines that were complete...
:
02:23:37,982 --> 02:23:38,942
What?
:
02:23:39,523 --> 02:23:41,054
Off the wall funny.
:
02:23:44,760 --> 02:23:46,253
They're like, we need you to record these lines.
:
02:23:46,253 --> 02:23:46,764
For what?
:
02:23:46,764 --> 02:23:48,165
April Fool's Day?
:
02:23:51,020 --> 02:23:53,538
You can literally go pew pew, yes.
:
02:23:57,282 --> 02:23:58,783
Yeah, that was pretty good.
:
02:23:58,783 --> 02:24:00,044
That one's pretty good.
:
02:24:00,044 --> 02:24:01,965
There's another one in Guild Wars 1.
:
02:24:01,965 --> 02:24:06,567
It was one of the first April Fool's Day changes I think I ever saw in a game.
:
02:24:06,567 --> 02:24:08,176
it was Guild Wars 1.
:
02:24:08,176 --> 02:24:09,090
it was they...
:
02:24:09,090 --> 02:24:15,054
If you brought out a pet, they automatically made the pet like 10 times the size it
normally was.
:
02:24:17,740 --> 02:24:21,578
So you'd bring out your pet character and it would just follow you around as this giant.
:
02:24:25,814 --> 02:24:27,976
but for everybody simultaneously.
:
02:24:28,234 --> 02:24:31,760
And then after that, Guild Wars sort of got the...
:
02:24:32,902 --> 02:24:37,066
kind of kept upping their game to do every April Fool's Day.
:
02:24:39,584 --> 02:24:40,414
Nice.
:
02:24:40,495 --> 02:24:42,377
To actually change something in game, so yeah.
:
02:24:42,377 --> 02:24:44,899
But that's the one I remember the most is right.
:
02:24:44,899 --> 02:24:49,982
They turned the game world sepia and then people just went around, meow, meow.
:
02:24:52,258 --> 02:24:53,520
It's so random.
:
02:24:53,744 --> 02:24:54,616
It's beautiful.
:
02:24:54,616 --> 02:24:56,090
So random, it's beautiful.
:
02:25:04,738 --> 02:25:07,925
We're just giving you ideas, secret world is what we're saying.
:
02:25:12,704 --> 02:25:14,846
No, but know what happened is Seeker will do something like that.
:
02:25:14,846 --> 02:25:18,981
They were like, April Fool's Day, everyone logs in and write their pets like 10 times the
size.
:
02:25:18,981 --> 02:25:22,426
And they'll be like, well, they shouldn't be putting resources on that.
:
02:25:22,426 --> 02:25:24,838
They should be making whatever.
:
02:25:24,838 --> 02:25:29,122
Now, you can definitely tell this game is dead because they're these stupid things.
:
02:25:29,122 --> 02:25:33,014
So they've given us content.
:
02:25:36,320 --> 02:25:38,323
Yeah, they just be like...
:
02:25:40,525 --> 02:25:42,503
Look in that gift horse in the mouth.
:
02:25:47,149 --> 02:25:55,985
Yeah, they'll go through and say, hey, we're changing everything out to upgrading the
graphics of the entire game.
:
02:25:55,985 --> 02:25:56,706
the dead game.
:
02:25:56,706 --> 02:25:58,388
Yeah, they got to do this.
:
02:26:04,709 --> 02:26:08,084
I had to switch instances because I saw too many people running around Kingsmith.
:
02:26:08,084 --> 02:26:09,648
I'm just saying.
:
02:26:13,293 --> 02:26:14,400
Worth Pucky.
:
02:26:24,530 --> 02:26:28,428
and breaking news breaking breaking breaking news
:
02:26:30,423 --> 02:26:42,046
we have an account on blue sky now i thought i could put that a lot sooner i kind of
forgot i had a word before we started the streaming zero point report the zero point
:
02:26:42,046 --> 02:26:44,749
report dot dot b sky dot social
:
02:26:47,021 --> 02:26:52,474
i find that i i i i mean i'm enjoying a blue sky quite a bit
:
02:26:55,801 --> 02:26:58,912
But it's also just the describing of trying to describe it.
:
02:26:58,912 --> 02:27:00,233
People are like, it's just like Twitter.
:
02:27:00,233 --> 02:27:05,524
And it's sort of like, it has that feel of Twitter, but the back end is anything but
Twitter.
:
02:27:05,524 --> 02:27:07,405
It's a lot better.
:
02:27:07,625 --> 02:27:13,469
The fact that someone's like, I wonder what the code is for Blue Sky.
:
02:27:13,469 --> 02:27:15,310
And they're like, yeah, that's open source.
:
02:27:15,310 --> 02:27:17,420
Literally, anyone can go get it.
:
02:27:20,816 --> 02:27:24,435
It's totally open source code.
:
02:27:24,435 --> 02:27:29,936
If you wanted to go ahead and use that code to create your own Blue Sky server, you can.
:
02:27:33,222 --> 02:27:34,223
You can do that.
:
02:27:34,223 --> 02:27:36,044
You can go create your own instance.
:
02:27:36,044 --> 02:27:37,186
It's part of the...
:
02:27:37,186 --> 02:27:41,449
It's not on the same instance as Macedon is.
:
02:27:41,449 --> 02:27:43,820
It's not on the same protocol.
:
02:27:43,820 --> 02:27:46,333
It's the AT protocol.
:
02:27:46,333 --> 02:27:46,972
Yes.
:
02:27:46,972 --> 02:27:49,454
It's called the AT protocol.
:
02:27:50,475 --> 02:27:53,142
Whereas Macedon is based off of Activity Pub.
:
02:27:53,142 --> 02:27:54,998
I think that's what I read.
:
02:27:57,232 --> 02:28:05,967
So it's not the same, which is why they have to, there has to be like a bridge between
them in order to, to, to cross post or something.
:
02:28:05,967 --> 02:28:12,021
But, yeah, it's, it's entirely based off of like it's, it's structural point.
:
02:28:17,465 --> 02:28:25,645
And just a little bit of research I did into that and just looking into that on just my
basic knowledge, because I don't know how to build a social network.
:
02:28:31,988 --> 02:28:33,063
It's just interesting.
:
02:28:33,063 --> 02:28:35,812
It's just, and how it's different and how...
:
02:28:38,403 --> 02:28:41,597
You get to basically curate your own algorithm.
:
02:28:42,078 --> 02:28:47,303
And if you don't like the algorithm, that's part of the discovery tab or any of the other
feeds.
:
02:28:47,303 --> 02:28:51,066
If you're like, I don't like all these algorithms, I'm going to make my own.
:
02:28:51,066 --> 02:28:52,347
You can.
:
02:28:52,668 --> 02:28:54,359
You can make your own.
:
02:29:01,391 --> 02:29:15,882
And I feel like that's why most people have come over to it is that it's after going for
years with Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and basically going through all of those and
:
02:29:15,882 --> 02:29:26,621
having where you're basically at the control of the algorithm and then everyone's trying
to game the algorithm and, you use whatever tricks to get around that and to
:
02:29:28,156 --> 02:29:32,230
through followers or through using bots or through what have you.
:
02:29:32,230 --> 02:29:38,494
Try to game those algorithms, to whatever the efficiency of it.
:
02:29:38,494 --> 02:29:42,317
Like optimization, like algorithmic optimization.
:
02:29:42,637 --> 02:29:44,718
SEO kind of, basically?
:
02:29:44,718 --> 02:29:46,738
Kind of SEO, yeah.
:
02:29:47,439 --> 02:29:51,480
It kind of directs you to what it thinks you want to see.
:
02:29:52,987 --> 02:29:55,789
And using that to sort of like, you know...
:
02:29:57,290 --> 02:30:04,499
game the system or do whatever that after basically decades of that, because that's all
we've basically known from social media up until this point.
:
02:30:04,499 --> 02:30:08,704
And now we're starting to see these networks that are like, no, you control the algorithm.
:
02:30:08,704 --> 02:30:11,067
You control it.
:
02:30:11,067 --> 02:30:14,350
You basically end up with the experience that you want to have.
:
02:30:20,192 --> 02:30:21,617
So it's fun.
:
02:30:23,350 --> 02:30:25,595
It's fun, it's an interesting proposition.
:
02:30:28,383 --> 02:30:31,724
I think there's also just the thing of this is just less...
:
02:30:31,724 --> 02:30:32,944
jackasses on it so far.
:
02:30:32,944 --> 02:30:35,424
Like, I'm sure at some point that will change.
:
02:30:35,424 --> 02:30:37,384
Well, I mean, there are jackasses.
:
02:30:37,384 --> 02:30:40,335
There are absolutely thing is that, know, saying less.
:
02:30:40,335 --> 02:30:41,855
There's less.
:
02:30:43,495 --> 02:30:45,795
Not that there can't be jackasses on it.
:
02:30:45,795 --> 02:30:46,555
That's not the point.
:
02:30:46,555 --> 02:30:46,975
It's just...
:
02:30:46,975 --> 02:30:47,575
Yeah.
:
02:30:47,575 --> 02:30:49,335
The mass...
:
02:30:49,335 --> 02:30:51,855
the mass is still somewhere else.
:
02:30:51,855 --> 02:30:56,128
And so I think it's gotten enough mass where it's like, now...
:
02:30:56,128 --> 02:31:01,072
There's a thing where it's too small and then it's not really an actual like equivalency,
right?
:
02:31:01,072 --> 02:31:05,408
You're like, right, right You're not it's not really competing.
:
02:31:05,408 --> 02:31:15,614
I feel like it's getting to like where it's like competing but it's not The it doesn't
have such a large share that like it's managed to pull every fucking asshole from the
:
02:31:15,614 --> 02:31:17,346
other platform You know what mean?
:
02:31:17,346 --> 02:31:25,392
No, no, I'm a nice sweet spot at the moment at least we're like It's got enough of a base
to be relevant
:
02:31:25,626 --> 02:31:37,592
like actually useful to be on but not so many that it's like the center of where like
every assholes gonna be because that's where they can be an asshole of most people right
:
02:31:37,592 --> 02:31:41,914
so like it's in a decent spot at the moment i think
:
02:31:43,824 --> 02:32:02,108
But I've also read something, or I think someone made this observation that like the way
that people were basically trolling the most, they'd go onto somebody's popular post and
:
02:32:02,108 --> 02:32:08,085
they would post their own replies to it and which would garnish a whole bunch and then,
you know.
:
02:32:08,085 --> 02:32:12,611
their inflammatory posts and then those posts would end up near the top of someone's
popular post.
:
02:32:12,611 --> 02:32:17,958
So then a whole bunch of people would see it and then they'd react to it, which only made
it stronger, you know?
:
02:32:17,958 --> 02:32:19,850
Yeah.
:
02:32:21,431 --> 02:32:26,214
And that's just not how blue sky works.
:
02:32:26,475 --> 02:32:31,458
So, yeah, like it's, takes that whole concept of,
:
02:32:33,196 --> 02:32:36,036
piggybacking off of someone else's much bigger post.
:
02:32:36,036 --> 02:32:37,406
And sure, you could actually do that.
:
02:32:37,406 --> 02:32:45,876
If you go onto someone else's bigger post and you reply, yeah, you're probably going to
get a whole bunch of likes or something that you wouldn't otherwise.
:
02:32:45,876 --> 02:32:48,936
But your reply doesn't end up at the top.
:
02:32:49,096 --> 02:32:54,496
It's not like this is the most whatever it ends up in the order in which it was posted.
:
02:32:57,545 --> 02:33:00,468
So what you're saying is I just need to start posting first a lot.
:
02:33:01,009 --> 02:33:01,450
Yes.
:
02:33:01,450 --> 02:33:02,973
That's what you're really telling me.
:
02:33:02,973 --> 02:33:04,654
And if you're the first...
:
02:33:05,936 --> 02:33:09,741
Well, like the man says, if you're not first, you're last.
:
02:33:09,741 --> 02:33:10,621
Yeah.
:
02:33:13,338 --> 02:33:15,613
But lot of stuff is just done chronologically.
:
02:33:15,613 --> 02:33:16,837
It's just done.
:
02:33:22,662 --> 02:33:24,942
as a the...
:
02:33:24,942 --> 02:33:27,922
was it the Ballad of...
:
02:33:27,922 --> 02:33:29,462
Rookie Bobby or something?
:
02:33:29,462 --> 02:33:30,962
Is that what that one's called?
:
02:33:31,782 --> 02:33:33,282
It's a Will Ferrell movie.
:
02:33:33,282 --> 02:33:33,952
Yes.
:
02:33:33,952 --> 02:33:34,322
Yeah.
:
02:33:34,322 --> 02:33:35,502
He's in NASCAR.
:
02:33:36,762 --> 02:33:39,532
And his dad later on is like, what do mean?
:
02:33:39,532 --> 02:33:44,242
could be second, third, or...
:
02:33:46,534 --> 02:33:48,772
It's like if you're not first, you're last.
:
02:33:50,406 --> 02:33:55,431
Like that's how he his life and then later on he says dad, his dad doesn't remember saying
that at all.
:
02:33:55,431 --> 02:33:55,751
Yes.
:
02:33:55,751 --> 02:33:57,432
What are you talking about?
:
02:33:57,773 --> 02:33:59,294
I was higher shade.
:
02:34:01,094 --> 02:34:02,194
I'll tell you shit when I said that.
:
02:34:02,194 --> 02:34:04,574
There's all kinds of places you can be.
:
02:34:04,814 --> 02:34:05,874
Yeah.
:
02:34:06,314 --> 02:34:14,595
So, Blue Sky is doing good right now and, Yeah, I was sort of on the fence about whether I
would create an account just for the zero point report.
:
02:34:14,955 --> 02:34:15,985
And I said, fuck it.
:
02:34:15,985 --> 02:34:17,756
And I just did You said, fuck it, and did it.
:
02:34:17,756 --> 02:34:20,196
It's like not that big of a deal.
:
02:34:21,156 --> 02:34:28,226
It took me all of like five minutes and that was including like getting wobbled or goddamn
approved to sign in.
:
02:34:28,252 --> 02:34:28,993
Yeah, that's right.
:
02:34:28,993 --> 02:34:31,321
And putting like the logo and shit.
:
02:34:40,689 --> 02:34:43,491
Mastodon, one person keeps following you on there.
:
02:34:44,392 --> 02:34:46,934
Pick a branch of the site and stick to it.
:
02:34:47,515 --> 02:34:54,401
I think I need to change, I think I want to change my, because I'm also on Mastodon too,
but I don't use it as much since I've started using Blue Sky.
:
02:34:54,401 --> 02:34:55,682
But it's alright.
:
02:34:55,682 --> 02:34:56,212
It's okay.
:
02:34:56,212 --> 02:34:57,464
I have nothing against Mastodon.
:
02:34:57,464 --> 02:35:03,189
Isn't the issue with Mastodon that like, if you're, just because you're on Mastodon
doesn't mean we're on the same thing.
:
02:35:03,189 --> 02:35:05,511
No, it is completely separate servers.
:
02:35:05,511 --> 02:35:06,301
Yeah.
:
02:35:06,401 --> 02:35:13,057
Yeah, that I think is the real sort of why I don't think that works.
:
02:35:13,057 --> 02:35:16,389
like, OK, sorry, it not necessarily doesn't work.
:
02:35:16,389 --> 02:35:17,260
It works.
:
02:35:17,260 --> 02:35:27,068
I don't think it works as like a like competitor to something like Twitter, because the
whole point of that is like it's a central space.
:
02:35:27,068 --> 02:35:28,128
Yeah.
:
02:35:28,489 --> 02:35:33,413
Whereas the point of mass thumb would be like, I want my
:
02:35:35,073 --> 02:35:39,183
local neighborhood watch to have a place to swap back and forth.
:
02:35:39,183 --> 02:35:41,393
You just have your own server or something.
:
02:35:41,393 --> 02:35:50,113
It doesn't work as a central hub if it's not a central hub, guess is what I'm saying.
:
02:35:50,413 --> 02:35:53,593
It's sort of if Discord.
:
02:35:53,593 --> 02:35:55,479
to the requirements.
:
02:35:58,209 --> 02:36:01,030
It's sort of like Discord, in a sense.
:
02:36:01,030 --> 02:36:02,992
Yeah, like Discord.
:
02:36:02,992 --> 02:36:04,552
Yeah, like a million different Discord servers.
:
02:36:04,552 --> 02:36:06,493
You on the T-G or or, you know...
:
02:36:06,493 --> 02:36:09,793
Except were tied to one specific Discord server.
:
02:36:09,793 --> 02:36:11,474
Right, that's even worse though.
:
02:36:11,474 --> 02:36:18,524
Imagine you had to pick one and out of like the 100 Discord servers I'm on, I gotta be
like, nope, I can only be on one of them.
:
02:36:18,524 --> 02:36:20,614
So I can't talk to you anymore.
:
02:36:20,614 --> 02:36:22,414
That's sort of worse actually.
:
02:36:22,414 --> 02:36:23,934
I gotta on this one.
:
02:36:25,478 --> 02:36:30,380
But to me, I'm not saying it doesn't have a purpose, it is not a competitor.
:
02:36:30,380 --> 02:36:31,580
not in the same...
:
02:36:31,580 --> 02:36:34,120
Because trying to achieve the same thing.
:
02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:40,040
It is an alternative for people that want a specific non-like...
:
02:36:40,040 --> 02:36:41,440
What is it called?
:
02:36:41,860 --> 02:36:43,920
What is the term people like to use?
:
02:36:46,553 --> 02:36:47,894
It's not marketplace.
:
02:36:47,894 --> 02:36:58,454
It's town, town, town square town square like the people I forget the term gets used a lot
like the media.
:
02:36:58,454 --> 02:37:02,194
Like, you know, when it's out in that center.
:
02:37:02,454 --> 02:37:03,774
OK, yeah, yeah.
:
02:37:03,774 --> 02:37:07,554
But the point is, it's not that it's a private version of that.
:
02:37:07,554 --> 02:37:07,914
Right.
:
02:37:07,914 --> 02:37:09,694
It's just like someone's house.
:
02:37:09,694 --> 02:37:10,894
It's not the town square.
:
02:37:10,894 --> 02:37:12,910
You're all meeting at Bob's house.
:
02:37:12,910 --> 02:37:13,220
Yeah.
:
02:37:13,220 --> 02:37:16,411
that does, it's not, you can't have the same conversation.
:
02:37:16,411 --> 02:37:27,486
You're not, you know, that would be like, instead of watching the news, I'm watching
specifically the news on trains in Pennsylvania.
:
02:37:27,486 --> 02:37:31,277
News about the news channel that's only about trains in Pennsylvania.
:
02:37:31,277 --> 02:37:32,327
Right over here.
:
02:37:32,327 --> 02:37:33,508
That's all I'm watching.
:
02:37:33,508 --> 02:37:33,938
Yeah.
:
02:37:33,938 --> 02:37:37,729
And so it's like, I'm part of one and it's not a bad server.
:
02:37:37,924 --> 02:37:38,814
Yeah.
:
02:37:39,174 --> 02:37:46,457
But like, but you wouldn't expect like you wouldn't go on expecting like I'm going to know
about the news of the day.
:
02:37:46,557 --> 02:37:48,378
No, I'm going to know about it all.
:
02:37:48,378 --> 02:37:50,438
It is extremely topical.
:
02:37:50,438 --> 02:37:54,220
It's like I only have one topic that I really want to talk about.
:
02:37:54,220 --> 02:37:57,742
And there are other people on the same server that just want to talk about this topic.
:
02:37:57,742 --> 02:37:59,283
And that's it.
:
02:37:59,283 --> 02:38:00,863
Yeah, like that's all you get.
:
02:38:05,563 --> 02:38:08,703
But even for that, like, it's not terrible.
:
02:38:09,263 --> 02:38:13,779
You just only meet people that are just part of that same server, usually.
:
02:38:15,228 --> 02:38:16,549
I'm sure it's great for that.
:
02:38:16,549 --> 02:38:21,050
You can, and I think you can still follow people from outside the server.
:
02:38:21,170 --> 02:38:22,270
Yeah, you can.
:
02:38:22,270 --> 02:38:25,191
You can still follow other people, but it's more direct.
:
02:38:25,191 --> 02:38:26,932
It's more a direct follow.
:
02:38:27,092 --> 02:38:30,554
Yeah, that's like on Discord, like being someone's friend.
:
02:38:30,554 --> 02:38:36,537
But again, if Discord, you could only be on one server and everyone outside would be
friends, it wouldn't function.
:
02:38:36,857 --> 02:38:41,046
Like if there was a competitor to Discord that was like, we're going to work this way.
:
02:38:41,046 --> 02:38:43,307
It would not sway the masses.
:
02:38:43,307 --> 02:38:48,248
Because the masses, the whole point is the mass.
:
02:38:48,248 --> 02:38:54,810
But what Blue Sky does the mass thing just differently, so it is a competitor.
:
02:38:54,810 --> 02:39:02,752
Whereas Mastodon is a competitor, but an alternative for people that don't want what those
platforms do.
:
02:39:02,752 --> 02:39:04,432
They want something different.
:
02:39:05,653 --> 02:39:08,063
It's basically the idea of just competition.
:
02:39:08,063 --> 02:39:10,234
It's the more competition.
:
02:39:13,658 --> 02:39:21,490
And in this case, competition really did bring about some...
:
02:39:23,342 --> 02:39:27,729
like differences, like we're gonna make something the same but different, you know?
:
02:39:27,729 --> 02:39:28,629
Yeah.
:
02:39:29,912 --> 02:39:33,356
It's gonna be focused on control and it's gonna be focused on...
:
02:39:35,551 --> 02:39:43,427
you know, protection and it's going to be focused on trust and safety and it's going to be
focused on these other things.
:
02:39:43,427 --> 02:39:48,056
So we're going to make a place where people don't interact in the exact same way.
:
02:39:52,869 --> 02:39:53,790
Midnight.
:
02:39:56,326 --> 02:39:59,366
1am actually, but yeah I'm sure it's midnight in the game.
:
02:39:59,366 --> 02:40:00,506
Midnight in game, yeah.
:
02:40:00,506 --> 02:40:01,647
That's what I meant.
:
02:40:01,647 --> 02:40:03,657
Midnight in game at almost exactly 1am.
:
02:40:03,657 --> 02:40:05,867
Speaking of which, it's 1am.
:
02:40:06,167 --> 02:40:07,107
Yeah, we should probably...
:
02:40:07,107 --> 02:40:09,308
We should get out of here.
:
02:40:09,308 --> 02:40:15,828
Well agents, this has been the Zero Point Report, Stray97-SNA.
:
02:40:15,828 --> 02:40:17,933
You can catch us recording live.

02:40:17,933 --> 02:40:21,796

:
02:40:34,144 --> 02:40:38,668
Just to go over what we did, we went over, we talked to Brandon from Star Anvil Studios.
:
02:40:38,668 --> 02:40:40,809
Again, thank you, Brandon, for coming on.
:
02:40:40,809 --> 02:40:42,153
Much appreciated.
:
02:40:42,153 --> 02:40:46,697
I know I will be backing North America because that sounds fascinating.
:
02:40:46,697 --> 02:40:48,438
I will absolutely be doing that.
:
02:40:49,259 --> 02:40:52,641
And then we played around with Jimmy's bingo.
:
02:40:53,622 --> 02:40:54,424
And tested.
:
02:40:54,424 --> 02:40:56,792
And tested it I think get it.
:
02:40:56,792 --> 02:40:58,233
Secret science.
:
02:40:58,794 --> 02:41:00,364
And then right, also tested.
:
02:41:00,364 --> 02:41:03,798
Yeah, my junk theories.
:
02:41:03,798 --> 02:41:05,979
