It'd be like that sometimes. Yeah, it's a... It's not doing that great. Ivan, you ready, puppy? I stay ready. All right. And I'm going to unmute the Pucci's Pick, guests. Hello, everyone, and welcome.

To episode 44, the NXT Clubcast, the official podcast of the NXT community. This podcast is recorded live every Thursday at 10-N-N-Pacific standard time of the official NXT Discord server. and is available to stream wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. My name is Dennis and with me as always is Ivan. How do you do my gamers? Hello, hello gamers. And this week's very special, super duper special,

who's totally unmuted and is able to speak because I can't scroll down far enough to make sure that they are is the one, the only first ever number one, Pucci Cup winner, money. Wait, you said Pucci Cup winner. No, sorry, my bad. Pucci's pick winner, money. Money is unmuted and remains muted, but money will shortly unmute themselves in Discord.

They haven't yet, but they will. I guess just got to click the button to unmute on Discord. They should be able to speak. Good thing this podcast isn't recorded live. Yeah, no, right? If we, if you recorded live, there'd be, there be so many problems with this. But, you know, obviously it's not, this is a pre-recorded podcast. It's not happening live.

So you totally be working. Hey. Hello. Didn't realize you was supposed to talk. Oh, is it supposed to talk? We can fix that. It's funny because right before this podcast started, like, always, we always meet with the guests 30 minutes before and to teach them. Yeah.

You know, this is how we're going to do it. We record through this software, pin this tab, mute this browser, yada, yada, connect to Discord. And then with money, it was very quick because, you know, money's on Discord every day and we chat with money often. So it was just like, yeah, just go on the podcast channel and start chatting. And then right before the podcast started Dennis, Dian, and he goes, imagine knowing how to use Discord because we have to give money any instructions.

Sure enough, there was issues. Never failed. Let me, uh, so we're, I'm trying to get the, uh, the bot set up for the second giveaway. Me6. I was also having, I'm trying to set up an automated, um, timer on the channel here to spam the giveaway link, but me6 is not loading. So just check the pins. Uh, if you go, they're interested in winning the giveaway. Um, and then just react to the, to the messages we're going to pin up there.

And at the end of the podcast, we'll announce the winner. The weekend giveaway. Second giveaway just when just is up right now. The bots being funky. So for those who are here for the first time, first off, welcome. This is a live recorded podcast that we also have everywhere as well. And today is very special because we're giving away two Seagate storage solutions. First off is the Firecuda Gaming SSD.

It's 500 gigabytes. It's a portable USBC drive, and then the Seagate 2 terabyte game drive for Xbox. It also works on PC, and it has cool Star Wars stuff on it. I don't know who is on the box. It's a dark Stormtrooper looking dude. I don't even think about Star Wars extended lore. All I know is that it looks cool, and we're giving it away. So there you go.

What else do you want? An Xbox so I can use it. Yeah. And it's funny, money asked me earlier. It's like, hey, can I enter? I'm like, yeah, of course you can enter. It's because you're in a podcast. It doesn't mean you can't win a prize.

If you want you to ask, can you guys rig it so I can win, we would also say, sure. Yeah, exactly. Imagine winning a giveaway. Yep. I was going to say we could also, and also the moderators ask me to, yes, moderators can also enter, right? Moderators are part of the community. If you don't pay them, sometimes we can.

give them stickers, but I feel like, you know, it's fine for them to enter the giveaway if they want to. So if you guys ever want to... Sorry, the only moderator who can't enter is B because she's actually staffed now. That's true. Rip. Imagine getting hired and you get less stuff. Liggy can actually do it. All right.

So, money, how are you today? How are you feeling? I'm doing good. Beneavits. Awesome. You too. What time is it? wherever you're at. I forget where you're from.

6 p.m. 6 p.m. It's Germany, right? No, I'm in Scotland. Wait, what? Who the hell am I thinking this in Germany? Probably, you're talking about. Oh, yeah, Rip Cuddle.

How is everything in Scotland? It's okay. You know, the lockdown's going on, so I can't really get out of the house. But it's hot. It's really hot. It's really hot. I was boiling today. What's hot for Scotland?

Today is about 20 degrees Celsius. Now, what's that in Fahrenheit? I don't know. We don't know what the heck, 20 degrees Celsius. So your temperature over there is like basically my CPU temp right now, 20 degrees Celsius. I imagine that's actually kind of cold, not hot. 20 degrees Celsius is 6.8 degrees Fahrenheit. So that's like a nice cool day for us in California.

Dude, if it was 68 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm wearing a hoodie. I'm wearing my anime kimono right now in honor of money. Maybe I'll post a photo later. So just some quick backstory. I was really bought on Amazon last weekend. So I bought this, for those who don't know, Demon Slayer, Zenitsu, like little yucata i guess we would whatever you call it

it looks like i'm wearing a dorito shirt it's super sick i like it a lot it's actually really comfy right and i wear a team meeting on tuesday and ivind's like what is this food you take screenshots during the meeting and posts everywhere you can and the company slack i'm like right bro look at that

oh imagine imagine looking like that super clean this is a great radio by the later for those who aren't there and there's my my mom uh my mom mug from what do you call it uh from uh uc santa cruz yeah as where my sister went they're their their school animal is a banana slum like you're wearing a bandana glasses a kimono uh v neck and then i always think your room is extra cringy when the lights are on like i never realize how how cringy it is until you turn the lights on we are not the same iven i prefer i prefer your i prefer your room when it's, you know, dark mode with the strobe light or whatever, lava lamp thing you got

going on in there. Also, I love someone's name in the Discord real quick is hail 9850 watt. So someone, someone finished a DM on Twitter and they're like, hey, I'm looking for cables for the hail something, something. And I'm like, bro, like, we don't make that power supply because they just showed me the photo. And then I Google it. I'm like, oh, wait, we used to make power supplies way back in the day.

It's until the contact support to see if they started. had any cables, but I really doubt it. All right. So money, back to you. Hi. This podcast is not about us. It's about you today. How long have you been in the NZXT Club Discord server? I think since early 2019. I think I joined like January, but I didn't start talking until April around then.

Okay. Yeah, I taught nonstop. I don't think I've skipped a day in which I haven't told you you joined Thursday January 17th 2019 wow here it's got the stats he's got the lore on money were you a fan of N16 before you join the the Discord server yeah so I I made my like my PC I made it in like summer 2018 and it was it was like a proper budget PC it was like a public budget PC it was like five, 500 pounds I spent. But then obviously I saved up a bit more money and then I was like upgrading.

And I, you know, obviously when you just surround yourself with PC stuff every day, you find all the companies. And I think I just followed a bunch of companies, including NST on Twitter. And then that's that's really how like I really go into NST. So I realized that I just asked, were you a fan before you joined? but I never actually asked, are you a fan of NXT? He's like, for all I know, you can be like really big in the Coursera or something, right? No, I hate NXT.

Worst company. Agreed. I really wish they would fire me. That can be a rain. How did you hear about the club? So, yeah, I followed NXT on Twitter. And then I'm pretty sure, like, you just posted the Poochie, the Poochie plush. Just like join the server.

I'm like, I want that. I want that plushy. And yeah, just join that. When did you get your plush? How long did it take you? Oh, I think around August last year. I think because I got like nearly eight to eight months, maybe nine months. So eight months to get a poochie.

What's the average I have been, do you know? for someone from when they join to when they get. That's a great question, Dennis. It's actually, I think, I think it's like 150 hours of chatting roughly in the server. Omski said it took him 11 months to get Pucci. It's a lot of work. Yeah, no, it definitely is. Yeah.

I mean, it's a lot. It wasn't for Pika. He got in like, what, two days? Yeah, some people find a way to get it quick. I mean, yeah, just, you know, like people are more active than others. Like, if you go on the server and you just type one message per day, it's going to take a long time. But, you know, if you're in there, not just chatting, but, you know, listening to the podcast, asking questions, submitting wallpapers, doing game nights, all those different things. Like, the more active you are apart from chatting, the faster it is to get that XP.

Yeah, so as I want to do a quick call out to the moderator, since we are having a giveaway and we have, like, a lot of. stuff going on. For free to do this ban wherever you want. I don't care. Go for it. Just do it. Someone's causing a ruckus. Don't waste your time. Just like I did. Right click ban. Don't even worry about Dino. It's easy peasy. Swing that bad. Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. Banned Dennis. No, please don't ban me. Or actually maybe do. All right. So, Money, I actually want to know what other communities are you involved with other other than the NXD Club? Not many, to be honest. I, I, I, I actually want to know. I, I, I I do have just a small community.

It's just my, like, large group of friends in my school. We have, like, a reasonably small community. I was part of the Corset server for a while, but I was never active there. And I think I'm just in a lot of, like, communities with, like, YouTubers. Okay. Who are some of your favorite YouTubers? I quite like Seas YouTubers

So I'm Meetimali I actually got his YouTube's in the post The other day And You know like the classics You know like Markiplier, Jacksaptagai All those fun guys

The classics I think it's funny that you refer to them as a classic Because to me they're still like Super new It's funny There's gonna be a YouTube classics Channel one of these days Yeah

It's like on old clips from the early, you know, 2010s. Charlie bit my finger. I used to watch, you know, Jack Sabder and that before I could even join Discord. Oh, so like, before you were you legally allowed to be on Discord?

Yeah, literally, like, since I was like, probably like 11. Oh, I can't imagine that. No, I'm over, I'm over the age now. Can't ban me now. I mean, we can always find a reason to ban you. Let's, you know, just because your poochie's picking, and you got a shirt doesn't mean we can't get rid of you.

Not that we will, obviously. Ban reason. Pucci's back. Yeah, exactly. Congratulations. You reach the apex of the community. Get banned, right? Yeah.

So what is your favorite thing about the NZ60 Club? The awards. No. I just, it's just a really nice community. Like, literally, I don't think I've hated anyone. I've met on the server. And even if I do, they usually get banned, like, after a second message. So, yeah, it's just really, really wholesome.

I love it. Yeah, anime. Anime is my favorite thing. I used to spend all day, literally all day, in the anime channel. I don't think I ever came out. I would always mess with money. Like, I would make these random polls in the server, like, should I delete the anime channel? And then money would DM me, please don't, please don't delete that channel.

I fell out of it a couple times, yeah. Yeah, I think when I first join the company and joined the server, I know that one of the things that I've been told me is that we're really focus on the community and we need to really be a part of it, right? And really participate. So I was like, you know, I don't know anybody yet. You know, I need to learn how to be a part of the community and, like, actually be a real member.

So I literally just spent like almost all my time in the anime channel for like the first, I think a month or something, just to get comfortable with the people who are in there. And then it slowly started moving out. And now I want to spend it any time in the anime channel. And like, I remember the first day that you ever took off, me and intern Mike, we're like, let's do something to make the weaves angry. And we got the weeps super angry. And we started getting customer service complaints.

And Dennis comes back, like, what did you do to my people? We basically made a Facebook post saying that you're not a real gamer if you watch anime. And people were literally submitting customer service tickets saying, how dare you disrespect the sacred thing that is anime? I'm going to cancel my order. I'm going to return every NdXT product that I've ever purchased. And it's just like, dude, it's a joke. Yeah, it was going to be annoying for me because,

It's one of those things that Ivan's always told me, like, you know, like, sometimes you want to kind of like just rile a couple people up, right? Just kind of remind them what you're about, right? And I was literally on vacation. I don't think I've taken any time off prior to that. And then the one time I leave, it's like, I'm getting DMs. Dan, what's going on with Facebook? Why are people talking about anime? I'm like, I'm like, it was super bad.

It was. All right. Money. A very difficult question for you. What is your least favorite thing about the club, about the NXD Club? Oh, that is a hard question. The correct answer is the moderators. I got it.

No, I like the moderators. I love them. The best of their job. That doesn't sound sarcastic at all. No, I'm just naturally sarcastic in time. I just, I feel like it's a bit too cluttered. Like I do feel like you probably could squish some of the channels together. So it's like just a bit like neat and tidy it.

It is out of control right now. Yeah. I think I can't really I say I'd say maybe I preferred it back when VCs were just like you could just use them

but I do I understand that you can't just have it open now because of like the stuff that has happened but I mean yeah not really much that I would change or dislike I don't know I feel like there's something you're not really telling

us your money. Okay. I'm telling the truth. All right. All right. I'll believe you this time. If you could add something to the club, what would it be? Anything you could ever add?

Second anime channel. Double. Anime 2? Yeah, anime 2. What would enemy 2 until? I don't know. I think if I could actually... Um...

I really don't know. Like an anime channel should be called real anime. Oh. Oh. Yeah. That's a good one. I guess make me an admin.

That's why I change. So just skipping mine going all the way to admin. Yeah, straight to admin. Don't even need to become staff. Just go ahead and just, Just go right into it, huh? Yeah, straight in. Just put all of the work onto me, make me do every single thing.

That can be arranged. Yep, if you want to do all the work, that's totally cool. Rockster and chat wants to know, the question remains, is Enemy 2 a prequel or a sequel? It's definitely a sequel. Actually, I think you're pretty cool if it was a prequel, because then we can talk about old classic. anime, right? You got your classic

YouTube channels and you got your classic anime channels and Ava and you know, like, bubblegum crisis, Trigon. Yeah, Sailor Moon, you know. It's funny. I think it was it, Ivan, we were talking to, it was a gym or something and you guys were talking about

like old classic anime and you brought up like Astor Boy and brought up like Speed Racer. I don't consider those to be anime, to be honest with you. I want to argue with you right now. Why not? Why not?

Because... All cartoons are anime. You think about it. Well, when people talk about anime, I think they talk about anime in the sense of where it comes culturally, right? And like where it's been like made, right? So, for example, I would consider Avatar to be anime, right? And the reason... And for that same reason, I wouldn't consider a speed racer or like an astroboid to be anime.

because they've been so like Americanized, right? That to me, it's not even the same show. Thoughts and opinions, Ivan. I'm trying to argue with you. It's too early and I haven't had to argue with anybody yet. Let's do it. I consider, I consider... Money join in.

I consider all cartoons anime. Even like... The Simpsons. The Disney Channel cartoons? King of the Hill. Simpsons is anime. Yeah. It's all...

Because I'm pretty sure every cartoon has, like, some sort of Japanese influence to it, to be honest. Actually, I would definitely consider King of the Hill to be anime. For sure. That's like one of my favorite shows of all time. So if I can put it in that same category, I'm super down. Does that mean I'm a weep if I watch Family Guy? Yes.

You're always a, you're always a weep. All right, money, if you could remove something about the club, what would it be? I think I would go back to my, maybe remove a couple of channels, like, mesh them together. It's just not as, like, stat. Like, which channels? Do it right now. Let's do it. Let's do it.

You could probably. It's messed at the server. I guess, like, I suppose, like, like, like, maybe, like, the software in hardware. Like more like technical channels and like the we should merge software and hardware and call it mediumware I hate it it's actually not a bad idea I think I was thinking about that the other day that we should like combine some of these channels I know for sure like I don't think it's a doubt in anyone's mind I don't think I don't think the audio is going to be staying right it doesn't seem like it's super duper active

I'm pretty sure music chats more in the audio channel than... There used to be so many more freaking channels in here. Like, there used to be like RSS feeds, YouTube feeds. I give you... Well, I deleted a lot of the hidden channels now, but we had like five different porg channels. Like, channels just about porgs. And even though we have a lot of channels, I feel like... Yeah, we probably could consolidate some of them,

but with the server this large, I think a lot of channels are necessary, you know, like to a certain extent. I think I bought, I think it was Amanda I messaged about this, but I was saying, I think something cool would be like, put all the stuff to actually do with NSXT

into a specific category. So like, you know, the clan, the podcast feed, the cam feedback, put that into like a separate category. Just, to make it like if say you want like actually something more specific to ask about nzxte you could find them instead of having to scroll through your like software streaming support and all that right i'm making a trailer card for this then is tagging you on it all right fix it deal i'm sure

talk to be about it too um okay um money yes i want to talk about rules first second. What's your favorite rule in the server? I'm going to have to take a look at them again. Okay. I don't know. I don't know. The rules are just common sense. Like, if you're just a nice human being, like someone that would win Poochie's pick, you probably don't even need to read the rules. And like, you're going to follow them regardless. I think, yeah, the thing's a pretty good, like, test, right?

I think the, uh, don't curse, don't fight with people. Be nice. Don't break, like, don't break Discord TOS, even though money did that. Not, not when I was actually using it. Yeah, I think, uh, my, my favorite rule is rule five. Don't post anything that's offensive or discriminatory. Because I think that's, that's the one thing I don't like about, um, of the other servers I'm in.

Like every show off, you know, just get some like edgy, edgy kid, but like, oh, I'm going to post this really offensive meme. And I just don't find it funny. I just think it's a big more of a just, just annoying. Yeah, like jokes like that are very hurtful because, you know, people get offended and people take things personally. And when we created this server, like, we didn't want any of that nonsense to go on here.

And I saw it, like, I'm in, you know, before I created the server, I was in a bunch of other Discord servers just checking it out, seeing what other communities are like. And I was like, man, like this can get pretty toxic. I mean, I think gaming communities in general, like if you look at them, they're pretty toxic, you know, like they let people curse at each other. They let people post things that are offensive and whatnot. So when it came time to make our server, we just decided. you know, we're going to be that one server where it's safe for everyone. And in order to do that, you know, that means we have to ban a lot of people because a lot of people, they don't like those rules.

And the rules are not that hard. I mean, how hard is it to just like be nice, have fun, and help each other? It's not that hard, right? But people struggle with that. And it's much easier to just, you know, treat this Discord server the same as any other Discord server and just come in here, start cursing. and making fun of people and whatnot. But I'm glad that money's favorite rule is rule number five

because I think that that rule probably is the one rule that impacts the most people, to be honest. Because you never know what you can say that offends someone, right? You don't know who's reading your message, who's seen a stupid meme. And I think it's something that we all have to be conscious of when we're communicating in public at least. Yeah, I think I agree.

I think that when I look at other servers that I'm in or servers that I've been a part of, hilariously enough, is actually like a lot of animated scored servers get really spicy and super, and I don't know if I'd say toxic, but it's like not friendly, right? We're like, they'll make a joke that to them seems funny, but I'm like, you know, if this joke was, was something that like was a part of me or something that like I've dealt with I wouldn't find it very funny right yeah

I think it's something that you have to like be very careful of when you have a community that's that's this big is like you don't want to alienate people right want to keep it friendly and I think that um that's that's why I enjoy the server and I enjoy this company um in general is because we don't do what other companies do right when it comes to how we handle our social how we treat our customers right uh the products that we put out, that we handle the server, right? Is we do what other people don't, anything that's a big part of our success, right? It's going to keeps us going a little bit.

Yeah. All right, money. Oops, nice grid up my line here. What would you like to see NZXT make? I think, I would say headphones, but you've already made them. I've just got that tab open,

waiting for it to go on sale. Technically. I suppose a bit more like a bit more hardware I think because you know I think it could be cool to avenge you see

like you know like VAM in the style of XT or you know like like I mean it gets said a lot but you know like the the AMD version of the N7 I just think that could be cool.

You know, have like a really go all out on the end of X-T's hardware. All right, all right. What would you like to see us bring back since you've been a fan for a little bit? I'm not really sure. And why is it the Manta? I mean, I do really, the Manta does look cool. I wouldn't buy it because I don't know

I just feel like that would be a waste of money I've already got my into next day guys the Manta is a waste of money everyone pinned that let Ivan know shout it from the rooftops

clip that chat clip that and you got to waste your money on something might as well be computer case might as well be the Manta all right And money, special shout out to anybody on the server. Anyone you want to give some love to who could use some recognition that you think is a cool person?

I'll give a shout out to Darkie, Dark X minds. He's very nice. He's really, really polite and really nice. I just, I know he has a bit of a hard time. But I think, I think, yeah, he should get a lot more recognition. All right, well, keep a look out, Darky for all the headpats and the hearts and the pings, rip your pings, by the way, in your T. The thing I like about Darky is every time I ask a question in the question ZXT channel,

like he just goes in general and he just types, he just types the link to the, like you must have like some sort of notification on. He's like a bot. He's just like pet. And then like everyone goes and votes. I use Darkies. I use darkies my notice I just had him

I use him set to two notifications and and then he tells me yeah with a lot mods like that one of these cool all right so money we got some

we got some fun questions for you that me and I have yep some more some less less serious more enjoyable ones Ivan do you want to take a take the head on this one

sure So money, first question for you is, how does it feel to be Pucci's pick? It's really, it's a huge honor. I generally didn't think I'd get it. I was really surprised when I did. And it's just nice. It's really like a whole role just to recognize that I'm just polite and nice on the server. I'm really grateful for it.

and you know I get more free stuff love that can't go wrong with free stuff but yeah it's really big honor I really love it and I guess I'll give a shout to out to B

because it was B's idea wasn't it? Yep to do the whole Pitchie's pick yeah she wanted to recognize you know outstanding community members yeah and it's funny because like it was something that like we had talked before we just never did it

and then B is like I want to do this and we're like okay so then we just want to do it so yeah shoutouts to B for you know finding ways to recognize the community you're doing a good job next question for you money is how the heck did you get your name uh do you get money yes um okay so I used to I used to have an old uh use name it was just like drive shock i think that was literally just uh like on my Xbox c60 back when i was like nine i was like choose your name i just oh vandemize i got like hyperdrive shock um is it is it is it is it

hyperdrive shock or shark shark shock like a like the fish um okay well a shark isn't really fish but sure okay okay um but then i think literally uh i use that and then there's a really small time where my friends were doing like just names to do something that ends in a Y, something that ends in ER, then man. So I think I did Hitty Shooter Man. That was literally for like a month. Literally just a month. The thinking process behind this is ridiculous money. It's a long story.

But then I think when I actually probably started hanging out with my friends, one of them literally just says, it's still money, though, and that literally just became my thing. So I just, and that's how I got the name. And then obviously people just shorten it to money to make it more convenient to type. So it's literally just money now. I like that name. So, sorry, no minute, go on either. All right.

He's got a DM and I started reading it out like a dummy. White podcast, everyone. Let's go. for you money is why did you stop sending me questions to asking questions exte? Oh, you really had to call me out like that. I did. When the channel first started, money, dend me and he goes, hey, is it cool if I ask you questions to ask for questions

to do you see? And I thought, you know, that's an awesome idea. Please do. And he didn't like money did for like a really long time. But then all of a sudden money just stopped. I honestly, because I was trying to think of questions, like, based off all I saw in chat, but generally, I couldn't think of anything, like, interesting. I think I still had the notes. I had a note on my phone, like, for questions. So you're saying is that the chat isn't interesting anymore, and that's why you're not asking questions. Oh, yeah, boring chat, boring chat. No, but, I don't know, I just couldn't think of any, like, I thought like a good, was. there like a dozen and then but then I just could not think of anymore and yeah I

still got there's like three here back from like like the beginning of April or like sometime in March it's like Animal Crossing or Doom Eternal like open back or closed headphones stuff like that so basically so basically just taking what people were talking about right and then sitting yeah yeah Because I think... Because obviously, we don't pay attention, but you are, right? Which is why your Poogey's pick. Yeah.

I'm the eye on the sky. All right. Next question for you, Manny, is, what's it like living in a castle? Oh, castle like. There'll get a little backstory on that. So, you know, as the server knows, we send out a lot of rewards, like stickers and shirts and things like that. And every once in a while, you know, things get lost in the mail. And I have to look it up like, you know, with FedEx or the post office or whatever.

And one day, I think money had lost something in the mail. So I was looking up their address on Google Maps to make sure I punched it incorrectly. I type in the address and then it's like this like, this castle pops up. And I was like, what? This can't be right. And I double checked it. Yeah, I guess money lives in a castle in Scotland. Which is awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. I literally, I literally, it's like, what, like 200 meters away from Inverness Castle. Awesome.

It's a bit boring, though, to be honest, because it's just, I think it's just like a, like a courthouse now. It's just like half a courthouse half just for people,

like, in the local council to live. What is it? What is it? Like, you know, like, um,

like, for, like court and like court trials for criminal. because I actually I also live literally right next to a prison as well because you're just a castle and then in prison Is that scary?

No no it's I think it's just like a low one You know just for like thieves and Yeah Those people don't matter Okay so I have a follow up money If someone escaped from the prison And they knocked in your door and saying Hey I was in prison for a crime I didn't commit

Can you hold me out for the night until the cops go away, would you do it? No, because then even if he didn't commit the crime, I would be. So, I mean, that's a lose-lose. Or it's a win-win. Maybe they're like a millionaire or something. Yeah, and if you say yes, they'll give you like a big prize or something. Eh, who cares?

I don't think, I don't know, they probably wouldn't though, because it's like, oh, I just got a prison. which I go, oh, the house run across the street. That's a great idea. It might be the best place to sit because they won't think about it, right? They might be thinking, why would someone go right next door? They obviously went, you know, the other side of the street. It's just logic. I suppose maybe it's the genius idea.

But no, no, I definitely. would not layman. All right, money. Have you ever seen the Loch Ness monster? Yeah, all the time. Really? She's, uh, yeah, she's very friendly. Uh, literally just, you just go to the beach, get like a, like a fresh fish.

And, uh, just give it, give it to it. She's very happy. Um, because that's, yeah, I, uh, yeah, I do live, I think it's like a, like a, like a, five-mile drive to lock nass literally anything anything interesting in scotland i am like a 10-minute drive away from really so did a lot of people go out did a lot of people go to lock nest to try to see that monster uh yeah um it's during the summer i think it's like usually during the summer and then later, uh,

later in the, like, uh, autumn, like you'll get a lot of people coming in from like cruise ships and, and all that. And it's, uh,

I think, oh, what's it? I think it's mainly, actually just Japanese people. Like, a lot of it is just like people from Japan coming to impaness. Do you ever go up to them and just talk about anime?

I wish Can't get close to it Wait Can't get close to them There probably is a Lochness Monster anime Well there's a Lockness Monster movie

You guys ever seen it No Was it about I think I saw it like Ages ago Yeah It's

It's a pretty I think It's got like really Bad reviews This is called Lockness Uh I hear the me

See I can find it It was funny because they made the Lacknest Monster look ridiculous. Like it looked like a... I'll show you what the Lacknest Monster looks like in the movie. What the heck is that? Yeah. It's a really, really bad movie. But this is...

They made the Lacknets Monster look like, almost like a Disney character. Like a Star Wars like Jar Jar Jar. Like Superdeenies. We should make that. We should make that the art for the podcast, by the way. Like that should be it. That should be what it looks like. There's another, another movie that I think is, I don't know if it's based on

Loch Ness Monster, but it probably is. It's called The Water Horse. You guys seen that one? Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah. So that movie, it's kind of cheesy, but I liked it. It was cool. I was very kid-friendly, but it was done in a way that that was fun.

Yeah, it's always interesting to me, like, all these, like, weird, like, tales from, you know, a long time ago and how people still kind of believe that. Because I don't know if they're real or not, yeah. For all I know, Lachness Monster could be a real thing. I mean, Lachness, I think, is something like a couple kilometers deep, and it's got, like, underwater caves. So there's totally like a chance that they definitely are at least one maybe. Yeah, kilometer two miles. I think it's like one and a half kilometers to a mile.

Point six miles. I said to make sure that I knew what that. I mean, that's not really that that far down, right? I mean, if you grab like a little, like one of those little weird submarines, you probably explore the whole thing like a couple of eight now. People have gone in submarines underneath. Because there's like, obviously, because it's such a big tourist destination, there's like at least three different like Nessy museums that you can go to.

Oh, dang. A whole three, which is the best one? There's one in a town called John the Jocket. That's quite fun. It's got like a really big gift shop as well. And it's got like a little train set. That's fun. they're a little bit rubbish to be fair

you're here to hear first folks the Loch Nuss museums are rubbish don't go I mean I like that word a lot of rubbish yeah I'm so using it now yeah it's a good way All right next question for you Do you wear a kilt I don't wear a quilt now

Why not you live in Scotland It's, I mean, really, the only people that wear it killed are like bagpipers. Next question, do you play the bagpipe? I almost did. I started playing the, well, it's like a chanter, which is just a bagpipe without the bag. You know, obviously, because like a bagpipe is super loud and you have to get like the breathing stuff right. So you play the chanter to get the tunes. And then you learn playing the bagpipe.

But I gave up on that. I'm not asking questions as like a stereotype, you know, wearing a kill and playing the bagpipes. I've never been to Scotland, but it's like, you know, every time we see anything Scottish related here in the United States, it's always like a red-headed guy and a kilt playing the bagpipes. Yeah, yeah. Like groundskeeper Willie on The Simpsons, for example. And I'm sure, you know, in Scotland, other parts of the world, every time they show like what an American should look like, you know, it's probably been a certain way too, you know.

I don't know, maybe wearing a red baseball hat eating a hamburger or something like that. The bagpipes, man, I feel like the bagpipes are low-key, like a underrated instrument. How do you play that thing? It's literally just you have to literally just keep blowing in because it's like a, like you have to keep the bag full, but at the same time you're squeezing the bag so that like the A comes up. So, but I think we tried, do you think one before? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was learning to play the chanter, I went to mine Shcher's house.

And she obviously, because she plays the backpub, she had one. But yeah, it's definitely, like people that play it good on them, but it's just a bit naff. A bit what? Bit naff. It's a bit bad. How do you spell that? N-A-F-F. Okay, can someone translate that for me, please?

Thank you. I've never heard this word before. I have worn a quilt, though, against my will. My dad made me wear it for my auntie's wedding. No one else was wearing it, because my auntie lives in, like, Cyprus. and like none of the family apart from like my dad is actually Scottish so he's just me and my dad wearing traditional Scottish kiltz with a bunch of people like tuxedos.

The level 60 reward should be a purple kilt. I would wear that to work. You know that traditionally kilts are worn without underwear so really easy breezy. Yeah, you're halfway there then Dennis. Yep. So another misconception, I guess, here in the United States. Like, I don't know, it's just me, but I'm always confused between Scotland and Ireland.

Like, I feel like it's sort of like overlap there. So what's the difference between Scotland and Ireland? Here we go. Get ready, guys. Okay, so Scotland, obviously, it's like, so. So there's, the UK, the UK has like a bunch of islands, but like the main one is like, you know, the, you know, where England and Scotland is and then the Irish island. And, you know, like, Scotland is literally just the top of the main UK island. And, you know, there's small islands surrounding that.

And then Ireland is the big, just lump. hanging off to the side. But it's actually kind of the same, technically. I mean, we both speak Gaelic. There's Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic, which is almost the same, except

I think there's just like slightly different sayings. Hey, look, you can see my house in that one. Invenous. So, who is luckier the Scroo? Scottish or the Irish? I think the Scottish.

Because, you know, the whole... Yeah, I think it's Scottish for sure. The whole, you know, the potato famine and then, you know, the IRA, stuff like that. Where Scotland didn't really have anything bad to it except some stuff that happened after World War I. Where there's just, it basically vices for like a couple months after World War I. Because this is actually something I had to learn whilst learning Gallic. Basically, the Scottish soldiers were coming back from mainland Europe after World War and the Scottish government enabled to convince them to join the war.

They said, hey, if you join the war, we'll give you a big plot of land. And they didn't. So they basically a bunch of like the soldiers literally just started squatting in people's fields and then the Scottish government was like don't stop, no, don't do that. And then they put them to jail. But then they kept putting so many people started doing it. They couldn't put, they literally overflowing in the jails and literally people were writing outside like the government like places in like

Edinburgh and Inverness and they literally just went we have to give them the land and yeah that was like basically just the whole what Scotland was doing it's Scotland is like its own country yeah yeah it's its own country we are we're part of the UK there's actually a referendum I think of what like 2015-16

where we wanted to leave the UK. But that didn't go through. So we're still part of the UK, but we are our own country, yeah. I think my favorite thing about Scotland is that their national animal is a unicorn. Did you guys know that? Yeah, yeah. What?

We're just magical. We're a magical country. Their national animals are a unicorn, I swear. Like, it's hilarious to me. All right. Next question for, you, Manny, is have you ever seen a leprechaun? No, because that's island again.

I'm sure if I got like a telescope on like the Western Isle to the island? I might see one. Is there a Scottish version of a leprechaun? I guess a haggis. You know, Hagus the food? That's my next question. Have you ever eaten Huggish? Yes, I love it. Some people don't like Hagus, but I love it.

It's so tasty. Okay, what is Haggis? What is Hagus, by the way? Just explain to people. It's just like traditionally it was like meat, meat like oats. And I think stuff like like just like seasoning. And then traditionally it was like wrapped in, I think, sheep stomach. and then cooked.

But obviously, I think if you go to the butches, it'll still be like that, but I think most of the time it's just like a little, just a normal little bag that you cook in. You know what goes great with Haggish is blood pudding for dessert? Yes. I don't really like, I like black pudding. I'm not a big fan of blood pudding.

What's the difference? Black pudding is just, it's pretty much the same. I think it just has different, like, different meat and different something rather than, because I think there's black pudding, white pudding, and blood pudding, I think. White pudding. Yeah, white pudding, I think as more, I generally don't know. It's a mystery to me. White pudding does that include blood per Wikipedia.

But black pudding does. does. Okay. Yeah, black pudding is nice. Black pudding is just delicious. It's like a... Lipsmack, delicious.

Best, I think if you go to Shetland, that's like the most northern island. Whoa. What do you say? Six, rule six. No. Shet. Shet.

Shet. S-H-E-T-Land. That, yeah, they make the best. they literally make like gull made black footing and that's just perfect one interesting thing to me about Scotland is that they have 13% of the entire world's redhead population and they even have redheaded redheaded cows there yeah so what the heck is causing red hair over there What is it? Why do you have red hair?

Well, you see, Ivan, when a red-headed man and a red-headed woman love each other. How do you think they're like, we didn't have red-headed cows? I don't really know. Highland cows, I don't see how they're not the, like, country, like animal, because they're great. Unicorn cooler. I mean, take one of the horns off of a hiling cow. You get a unicorn. I don't know.

Yeah, I do have at least five friends that are ginger. There is, there is largely a lot. Like, it's definitely like at least a tenth of the people, at least in my school. It's really 13%. Like, I'm not making that number of 13% of the world's entire population has, that has red hair is from Scotland, which is great. that's a lot of people. Next question for you, money, is do you know Harry Potter and what is he like in real life?

I don't know him personally, but I do have another great story from there. So obviously, I actually live a bit close to the place like where the train went past, like, you know, the, like, how the train goes on like a, I know, probably like a 10-day train ride. But it's, yeah, the viaduct that, like, goes over, you know, like, the famous, like, it's like a little curved bridge. I think I live quite close to that. But also, in the, in the first movie, this is, this is a story from my Gallic teacher. she said like because because her town or her village was like close to where the the film was being shot um they got all because it was all meant to be like small like 11 year olds uh they just got the people

from that village including my gallic teacher just to be um extras you have a garlic teacher Golly teacher, yeah Yeah So she was there I'm pretty sure you can see it If you look close in the first film Yeah But no, I don't know how he parted

Did you apply to go to Hogwarts though? I did Did not I have to go to Melbourne Academy Yeah I have gone to the high part of studio in London. That's fun. But yeah, no, no high potter meetings.

All right, here's probably the most interesting question of the day is, what is your golf handicap? Oh, what? You know that. No, I did not, actually. Oh, I don't think I don't think I ever got a handicap. I do play golf. I play golf a lot.

Yeah. But not anymore because it's a lot down. That's not a lot. It's great. It's a fun sport. But I've never done an 18-hole course, so I can't get a handicap. I think usually like when it's just me and my dad playing, I'll go for a handicap of three. Yeah, two or three.

Okay, so explain to a non-sports person what the heck is a handicap for golf. Okay, so you know how golf you're meant to do? like you're meant to go like you have to get under par so it's literally you're just meant to take the least amount of shots a handicap so so you do you do uh like the way you officially get a handicap is you do an 18 whole course and uh your handicap is however many shots you get over par so obviously there's a power for each course which makes a total for like the whole 18 whole course um right and so if you depending on how high you get overpower that's your handicap and um so basically

it just means they'll take off that many shots um got off of your game so obviously if you have like um like a two or three handicraft like I do. If I get like one over par, I'll actually get like one underpart because I get two strokes taken off. And the point is you're meant to get like a really low handicap because it just shows you good and you don't shoot like over part. You get under par, you get under par a lot.

Got it. Okay. Can you for the explanation? I'm like, I totally got that. So, now can you explain what that means? Yeah. I have two more questions here. Okay. How many languages do you speak?

Because I know in Scotland, there's three official languages, correct? I'm not sure what the third one is. I do know, yeah, it's English and Scottish Gaelic. I, I, so obviously like I've been saying, I did take Gallic. I think for the first three years of high school, that I skipped a year. And then last year I did, I did it again, just as an easy course. So I can speak. Sorry to cut you off.

According to Wikipedia, 99% of Scotland speaks English, but there's also 30% of the population can speak Scots and then 1% can speak Scottish Gaelic Scots I don't I don't

personally know anyone that speak Scots which is probably why I don't actually speak it of but I do yeah Gallic it almost died actually the language

but it's coming back um but uh call it a comeback don't call it a comeback um but yeah like a Scottish guy like kind of just went it used to be talked like all over Scotland

but then it just kind of went into like the Western Isles it's like all of those like islands were talking but now they're teaching it more in like mainland Scotland which is why I took it um

another reason I took it is because if I didn't I had to take friends which is way too hard, way too hard. Yeah. But yeah, I can speak, I don't know, maybe I can hold a really basic conversation, Gallic, but not really anything. Like, I can't, I can't, like, hold, like, a big, I can't, like, hold, like, a big, discursive argument about it.

All right. Last question for you is, do you understand dollars and pounds? I do, yeah. So explain dollars and pounds. I mean, so obviously dollars is the, the, what's it, the currency for America? And I guess Canada, Canada is Canadian dollars, doesn't it? And Australia, doesn't it?

Australia has Australian dollars as well. But yeah, pound is just a currency for Scotland and England. But I feel like this might be a trick question. I think you might be saying pounds as in like the weight. Yes, it's a true question. Every question is a true question. Yeah, I do get, I kind of get pounds. I know my weight in pounds.

Oh my God, I just got it. I just understood what you were asking him if you understand pounds in terms of the weight and not pounds like the money. Jesus. Money's name is money. Money should know the difference about money, right? Yeah. Yeah. I don't really know the exact exchange rate.

I know it kind of went. I'm so confused with the whole pounds thing and like kilos and kilometers. Like whenever I hear those words, I just tune out. I'm like, I don't, I'm not going to bother. Like the only one that I somewhat can like understand a bit is the Celsius reading on cam. I know that much. But like if someone, if I ask someone, what's the temperature like? And they tell me it's 20 degrees Celsius.

I have no idea what that means, but if someone says, oh, my CPU is at 40 degrees Celsius at 100% load, I know that that means it's okay. I don't. I hate that. I hate the fact that that currency is different all over the world. And even like the units of measurement, I feel like it would be much easier for everyone, not just me if we all just stuck to one thing. Like if it was just a dollar is a dollar, a pound is a pound, a kilo is a kilo. or whatever, whatever it is we decide, but I hate the fact that it's so different and confusing. It drives me crazy.

Well, depending on the type of illicit work you into, you might know the metric a lot better than the most people. I don't know that. That ghost plays a carlosan where he goes, a kilo is a thousand grams. Yeah. Doing math in your rap songs. That's literally how I know that. from Dolphase killer song.

Yeah. All I really know is like, I think Celsius is zero is freezing temperature for water and 100 is boiling point. And isn't fine high. Pretty good. Yeah. Isn't finite like, it's to do with blood, isn't it? Like the temperature of blood. Oh, I see.

You're asking the wrong. I don't know. I'm sure I've watched it. doctor or something i'm sure i watch a video um yeah i don't know i but yeah celsius is to do with water um yeah fahrenheit is how warm a human is karenhe's for blood magic you're like to counten just out of nzc t science podcast with money is your my basic high school knowledge freezing for fahrenheit is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, by the way. I just googled it, which seems like a very arbitrary number. So I think

in that respect, I think that Celsius wins on that. But I don't know, 100 degrees Fahrenheit to me make sense in terms of how hot it is outside, which it will get to that point regularly here in Southern California. Yeah. All right. I think that's it for the Ivan, the Ivan interrogation of the week. We got some community questions for you, money. Are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go. Okay.

First one's from Viji, or Viji. I still don't know how to pronounce his name. When you were chosen as Pucci's pick, what was your reaction? I was quite surprised. I kind of, like, obviously I was like, oh, I hope I get it. But I didn't really think I would. So I was generally quite overwhelmed. happy that I got it.

And, you know, once again, free stuff. That's always fun. Yeah, yeah, I was really surprised and happy. Okay, Magnumosity wants to know, have you ever watched any slash all of the Star Wars films? Yeah, I've watched all of the Star Wars films. I recently did a, I did a, I watched one film of the original trilogy every night. So I did, you know, a new hope, then Empire Strikes Back, then Return of the Jedi. And then right now, I'm actually watching Clone Wars, the TV show.

Oh, yeah. Are you watching it in the broadcast order or in the quote-unquote chronological order? I'm watching it in the order Disney Plus says it is. Okay. I bet you just binge watching it from the start to the end. Does Star Wars have a Scotty? Like Star Trek? I don't know.

I'd assume Chewbacca is. Me up. Okay. See, this one's already been answered. Hale wants to know. How much NXD hardware do you actually have? Okay, so I've got the H-500. back before the refreshed ones came out.

And that obviously has the cam, the smart device. I've got an X-53, which is, I don't know if it's broken at the moment. I think it's either the smart device is broken or the... To be fair, I've used it really, really ruggedly. But it's not like broken as in like it's not cooling or anything. It's just the LEDs. But at the same time, the LED strips I have aren't also working. So I think it might be the smart cam, the smart device.

So I might have to get that replaced. I think what else I have? I have the bag. That's not hardware, but I have the bag. Yeah, I dropped the link of your setup. Yeah. My cat's channel. You have everything, including the awesome wallpaper you designed and the awesome rainbow

that you painted. Yeah, the rainbow poochie. I think, I just want to have something else. Oh, yeah, I've got the puck. I've got the puck. Not the special ones, like the flying pattern, I think, just the standard white puck. and I almost I almost bought air fans

but I did ask for them but my parents got me some L-120s instead from Corset. Hey mom, can he get some air fans? We have air fans at home. No, that's too much cloud for you, Manny. Go back to your back club.

I think yeah, that's all the hard way I have. I have, you know, the rewards and the stickers and stuff. I think my favorite thing, which is in that picture, is my water bottle. I'm just sticking every single sticker I get onto it. I like that. It's really nice because I take it everywhere. And I was like, oh, where did you get those stickers?

I was like, the NZXT Discord. And, you know, it's... Got them. It's, yeah, I don't, I don't have actually that much NSAXT hardware. Maybe I should change that. Just full swap to all NZXT. You should do it once we get things back in stock. Maybe completely switch it.

Just get an H1 and just go full like, what, NSAXT PSU as well. That might be a way to do it. you don't use cam with the H1, so. Got him. Okay. Megamaman wants to know. Money, do you like, I don't know how to pronounce this, Iroobru or are you disagree? It's pronounced Uwu.

Uw. Uru or do you disagree with that stereotype. Okay, so first of all explain what he's talking about here. Okay, so obviously, in Scotland, there's a drink called iron brew. It's spelled IRN-B-R-U. It's literally just the fizzy drink of Scotland. I don't really know how to describe the taste. It's kind of like...

No, kind of like bubblegum, I suppose. It's basically just sugar. He's like inca-Cola. He's like inca-Cola. it. My mom's coming in the room. Bringing me some iron view, actually. Yeah. Through the podcast. She actually bought me some iron boo. Thank you, thank you, by the man.

Hey, mom. She had to climb up 10 flights of stays. All right. Fish wants to know, how long have you been into PCs, money? I think I got to PCs 2017 because I obviously I played on PlayStation because you know like everyone everyone's kind of I feel like everyone starts off as a console kid until unless like obviously like someone you know is into PCs or anything but yeah I think it was until until until 2017 2017, like how late 2017, then I started hanging up with my friends a lot, and they all had, they all had PCs. So I'm like, what if I got a PC? And then obviously, I kind of fell down that rabbit hole of just looking at like hardware for 12 hours a day. I think, yeah, I started saving up from my PC 2017. And then I made it. it halfway through

2018 and yeah that's really how it all began what was the first game you played on PC I think either Siege or Overwatch because that's what my friends were playing I think

yes I think it was Overwatch actually and then obviously I moved on some to some other popular games and now I just play

whatever I want to be honest it's like I don't care anymore just a game's a game that's the spirit yep exactly Geiser wants to know who do you think the next Poochie's pick will be I

there's a lot of people that could get it Actually, I think there's plenty of people that deserve it. I think I said to Amanda, Dalky. Like I said, I think Darky should get it. So I think, yeah, I think hopefully Dalky is the next Bucci's pick. But I guess time will tell. There's time for everyone, technically, right? I mean, we're not going anywhere anytime soon.

So one day. One a month for what, 100,000 members? Yeah. So someone do the math on that. If you have 100,000 members, it's 100,000 months, right? How many years would that take to make everybody Pucci's pick? Assuming they all are well behaved. It was like, no, never mind.

100,000 years. 100,000 years? 8,000 years. 8,000. I mean, 333 years. That's a lot. That's a lot.

There's a lot of people. I love years. Yep. All right. Let's see. We'll answer that. Oh, Banana wants to know

what type of music do you like. I like, I'm one of those people's like, I like a lot of, like, everything. I have, I like country.

I like some country songs. Like, um, you know, Big Iron. That's a fun one. But yeah, I've got a little bit of everything in my Apple playlist. It's got, you know, rock, hip-hop, funk, dance, a bit of country, bit of EDM.

Literally, literally, like, a bit of everything. But I think my favorite type of music is city pop. City Pop. Where I'm not really feeling the best. I'll listen to some city pop. It keeps me calm, keeps me nice. And then other than that, I think Oliver Tree, he makes good music, especially his new song.

So a funny thing, actually, so I was looking into Oliver Tree, and if you don't watch his videos or know what he looks like, The music seems like normal indie pop, right? Yeah, yeah, he really goes... Then you look at him. He's super extravagant with his music videos. I'm like, who the hell is this guy? Why is he wearing Jinko jeans?

What year is this? What is it going on in my life right now? His bowl cut as well. Can you explain to Oliver Tree? Because I don't get it. I don't know. I guess he's just a bit quirky. I'm pretty sure he dated Melanie Martinez.

who they're also quite like a bit of a more quirky artist. So I think literally just, he's just a bit like, he just finds like random things funny. To be fair, he pulls it off. He, he, you know, his music videos are cool, you know, with the huge, huge outfits and the 50 foot racer scooters. I think his songs as well

just top to you great songs All right guys everyone go listen to Oliver Tree That's that's a money's recommendation Recommendation of the day Yep It's actually not bad

Okay so what games do you play in your free time So let's just make it easy What's the last game you played? The last game I played was GTA Cocker 3. Because that, you know, that went free on, was it Epic Games? So I have been playing a lot of that. And, you know, Valent as well.

I got one of the keys for Valent. I've been playing that. I used to play a lot of, excuse me, I used to play a lot of, you know, Siege and Overwatch. But my friends stopped playing Siege, I didn't really enjoy playing by myself. And then Overwatch, we did play a lot. Like, literally, up until March, we literally played Overwatch every day.

I think I'm like, I started off at like high bronze. And now I'm just playing every day. I've gone up to like high plat on Overwatch. I do, yeah, I'm seeing Cocker 3, saying TF2, I love TF2. Me and my friend play it every day, especially man versus man, or man versus machine.

That's really fun. Yeah, I think it kind of just, like the games I play is like, obviously there's like the classics. I always come back to like Tourea, TF2, but there's always, like, the main games I play is based on just whatever's popular at the time.

Um, yeah, because, uh, yeah, uh, I also played Mon Warfare. I fueled that. I play that sometimes now, but um, that's, that was like, uh, I played that a lot when Warzone came out, like my friends got World Warzone where you played that. Um, it's like, it just keeps coming, just kind of keeps coming to what's popular. Mm-hmm. All right. Next question is scroll down here. Don't take too much time.

What specs do you have? Okay. What are your specs? 5700X. 1660TI. No, 32 gigabytes of RAM. Dang, that's a lot. Yeah.

That's a funny story. My sister recently got a hit a PC. I was making it for it. And I actually, at Christmas, I got 16 gigabytes of, what was a G-scale, Trident Z-Ram. So obviously, I had 16 gigabytes before. And so I gave that to my sister. But I'm obviously, I made like a list on like PC part picker. And then, like, we still do like bought stuff.

But then also it was her 18th birthday last month. So my dad was like, you know what, we'll just buy the rest of the parts. So we did that. But I forgot to take out the 16 gigabytes of RAM. So, you know, that arrived. But you already had the 16 gigabytes. So I just kind of sneakily took them away and put them on my system. So now I've got 32 gigabytes.

Nice. Makes sense. Makes sense. Actually, I did that too a while ago where my sister needed some more RAM or something on their computer. or she was buying a new computer and I was helping to build it and I'm like I'm just going to buy you this kit of RAM and I'll take your old RAM

and put it into my computer and it doubled my RAMs. It's like, I'm talking out with a way more broke. You all too nice to your sisters. My sisters asked me for a computer. I'm like, nah, I'm good. Well, I mean, she paid for it. I just helped her build it.

I was a really mean big brother back in the day when we used to live together. I was really not nice that my sister when we were younger but now she and I are like pretty pretty good we're homies now

yeah um selby wants to know what's your favorite ice cream flavor um ooh uh

I think uh a really like a really good chocolate like I think I think some some chocolate flavors is just really me

but if you can get like a really good one like you know like a really thick, rich chocolate ice cream. That's the best. Big rich chocolate. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Just the, I don't know, maybe a bunch of triple chocolate or something.

It's just so chocolate, it's just, like, really nice. Yeah, that's my favorite. Yeah, you have to live in a castle to know what big rich chocolate is. Yeah, exactly. BZ-A wants to know. What do you think of the Pucci Cup? I think it definitely is a really good way to bring the community together and also just kind of create competition the same time. But I think at this point people have kind of gone a bit bored of it.

I think two months might be a bit long. I think more one month would be good. Literally, I think after the first month ended, aside from Earth absolutely floor. everyone climbing street to first. It was just a bit... It's just kind of slowed definitely without the help of certain people in random.

They, but yeah, I think people have gone a bit bored of it by now, you know? Like, it was really popping off like in April when it started. Yeah, and this is the first time we've done the Pucci Cup and, you know, we didn't know exactly how long to make it

you know how to do the stuff so we all I think we all agree it was way too long so you know if you do it again for sure it's going to be much shorter but it was fun there's a lot of cool cool activities yeah I

enjoyed you know the the kaioki I've never done kaioki until they did it in the service though it didn't really help but I had to sing it like really quietly because it's 4 a.m. Do you want to do some karaoke for us right now?

To some Oliver? No, no, no, no, no, that's that. No, Zank you. All right. Emmy wants to know, what's your favorite biscuit? Hobnobs. Hobnobs. Yeah.

They're great. All right. It's like, I think it's like golden notes or something. It's just, it's just oats and, like, honey, and a bit of chocolate. It's just perfect. All right. wants to know what's your favorite mod or what who is your favorite mod what's your favorite um they're not people i i i feel like it would be bad to play favorites but i think any

most of whoever's um like uh you know like a very good answer move that is a very mini cuddle it's a very poochies pick type answer i like that that's why you're the poochies pick I think, but yeah, I do, I do, like, they all do really good jobs. I think they're all really good mods. I don't think I could pick like an exact favorite. There you guys, give some love to your moderators. Don't ping them. Former moderator Rat King wants to know, what is the new thing that you've learned from being in this community?

How not to have a swear in every sentence. I've got to be honest I'm a bit of a Swearie person But I Yeah literally like just

Kind of keep it a wholesome That's that's the That's why I've taken away from this so All right Not Michael wants to know Do you currently prefer Intel or AMD I I prefer I think I prefer

To MD Like the whole time I don't think I've better preferred Intel But especially now When like The AMG just floored Intel With their new 3000 series It's absolutely destroyed them old

Like oh yeah We have This is just as good as Intel's high range Except we're gonna make it half the price And that is just absolutely destroying Intel Until I'll notice Magnemosity wants to know Did you use any usernames before money

I think you already talked about that. It was hyperdrive shark and Hitty Shoe. Hyperdrive Shark. Let's see here. We also got, I don't want to go up too long because we do have some stuff to talk about. So let me just look for. Let's see what else we got here? These two are the same.

What's your favorite N60 product? Go. Name one. My favorite product? Z-63. I do like the, you know, like the GIF stuff. and all that. It's really cool.

Yeah, yeah. I definitely want to, at some point, upgrade to a Z-63. Okay. Do you enjoy live-action remakes of anime from Loaded Sandwich? I haven't really watched many. I don't think I have watched any, actually. Apart from the Speed Racer one back in, like, the 2000s. That's fun.

I like that one. That's really goofy. But no, I don't, I don't know. I don't really like them as much. All right. Let's see. Any other questions for money? Oh, here we go.

This is a good one. Do you have any questions for any club members? Why are you so cute and wholesome? All right. Leave your answers in general chat. Why are you so cute and wholesome? Can you can you give that to us in a in a question ZXT format? Okay.

Why are you so cute and wholesome? Yes or no? Yes or no. True or false. All right. I'll see here. So we are, I just want to go ahead and just quickly say we are about one minute, two minutes away from the first giveaway, which for the 500-gigabyte SSD. So while that's going on, I'm going to pull up.

my outline that I accidentally closed because I'm a Ppega. And let's see here. Just quickly go over some community rundup stuff while that ends. We don't have a whole lot today because this week's been pretty chill. So first and foremost, congratulations to setup of the week. That is Vibe Dog. Thank you for sticking around Vibe Dog after I accidentally deleted your XP that one time. Not on purpose.

Thank you for being understanding that we can't fix that stuff. sometimes. No, it's a, so not really funny story, but I was going through the leaderboards for people who were like banned, right? Because when you get banned, we reset XP and I accidentally reset his. Luckily, he wasn't in too deep. And I was like, hey, man, I really apologize. I'm sorry, I can't fix it.

And he's like, no worries. Thanks for letting me know. And he was cool about it. So thank you to vibe dog. And congrats on winning setup of the week. Make sure you message Amanda for your free gear in your, in your PC Cup coins. And Wad Paper the Week, this week is Zen.

Congratulations to Zen. Always seen him in the chat. Being friendly, hops in my streams too. But that's very, very nice, very neat. Really cool white paper, really cool watt paper this week. I actually like it a lot. I might swap it on my computer here. Looks really, really good.

And don't forget, guys, we do have a community newsletter, so sign it for that. I think I probably drop the chat and the link in chat since he always does to home me with that. I see my highlighting it right now in the Google Doc. And two seconds. Here we go. So Antigone. Antigone 7.

I think Antigone's been in chat, right? Are they listening? Congrats. Congrats. Hey. Antigone. If you can hear me, DM me with the code soap. So I know you're listening. Isn't it Antigone? Is that not? How you say it?

I'm pretty sure it's Antigone. I would say anti-gone. Yeah. Yeah, Antigon works. Does that mean he's hit? So DM Den, Den Z-T for your special prize. If you don't answer in five minutes, then we'll choose someone else. And then who else won?

Did the other one go through? Or no? It did not. Just got like a minute left or something. All right. Thank you. Antigone. Yes. So Antigone, congratulations to Antigone.

They won, I'm pretty sure it's Antigone. They won the 500 gigabyte game SSD from Seagate. So thank you very much to Seagate for providing that for us, you know. We love to give things away to the community, especially, you know, in partnership with some great brands. I actually have a Seagate in my computer right now. No lie. Actually, wait, no. Maybe we do, maybe don't.

I actually don't remember. I'm going to retract that just in case I'm wrong. I'm not going to show my cam. Well, I have a gate, my front yard. I go to the sea sometimes. I can actually see a gate from my window right now. I can see a gate if I walk outside. Ben can see his sea gate from his Casper mattress, exactly.

Except that I use a purple mattress, so thank you very much. All right. And then call out for the community last week for the Pucci Cup. So, you know, get active. You know, that means that we're having one more karaoke night, I believe, I've been wrong of that and one more game nights. I don't know. Ask the mods.

They know. The mods know all that stuff. I don't know anything. I don't pay attention to anything is going on. Don't, don't at me for that. The mods know. I just read what's on the papers here. And about 19 seconds, we're going to have the next one going through.

So whoever wins The code To win is vapor rub Don't ask me why that's in my mind Lapu Lapuru Yeah Give me with that vapor rub

Hail 90 Oh dang I know I know hail was listening I saw hail You can You can trade that in For some PSU cables For your hail 90

850 watt part drive or a PCU I mean power supply I wonder what Kenobi thinks of that of the hail of the hail PSU

you probably doesn't like it right and I canoes probably mad that yeah the hail PSU won the Star Wars drive like that hell that power supply is not is not is not uh is not worthy of a Star Wars drive but man that's Star Wars

he does He's a big train of Star Wars. And power supplies. He's a different man. Okay, here. So we have a little bit of extra time left, I think. I've been yet anywhere to be? No, I'm good.

I can need that more time? Yeah, hang up for a little longer. All right. Awesome. Let's see here. 800 watts is really something. 800 watts is a lot of power supply power. I don't think I use anywhere that much.

If I had one of the smart PSUs, I could probably tell you how much I'm using and I bet you're not a lot. Most computers only require 500 watts of power supply. Like that is more than enough to play video games, to stream, to use Discord, to open Chrome. Like 500 watt power supply, it's like that's all you need. Yeah. I was doing some checks for people They'll ask them some DMs like Hey I want to buy a new 10th 10th gen you know

CPU you know is this power supply enough And I normally don't like answering those questions because like I don't do my job to help with people's builds But for the interest of like you know just like having the information And also helping and also helping somebody out I was look it up and like I think for like a 10th gen like ice I nine And like a 2080 because that's that's what they're really looking into you only need like 600 watts which seems like not a lot you know what I mean

like I have no idea but it was it was very interesting um okay scoot wants to know 60 hertz to 144 to 120 how big is a jump is it truly worth it what do you guys think um i've i've had a 144 hits and the 60 hertz moratorium um my 144 is kind of broken right now. So I'm using it 60 hertz. Personally, I prefer quality over the framework. Like, I'd rather have a 4K 60 hertz than 144hirts 1080. But it is, it definitely is a difference. It's definitely way better. I just personally think the quality is. 44 Hertz monitor, I think is great. It depends. Depending on the games you're, like, what you're using it for, basically?

Like, if you're playing an FPS game or any game that relies on frames, like fighting games or Super Mega Baseball, 144 Hertz monitor will definitely come in handy. But if you're... Actually, Ivan, you're wrong on the fighting game thing because all fighting games are capped at 60 frames a second. That's true. Because the attacks and... That's true. Like the whiffing and all that kind of stuff is based on on 60 frames for for counting frames

So it actually won't hurt help it might actually believe help sorry it won't help I think it'll actually hurt if you have like a if you have anything that's like not 120 because at least that 120 you're like doubling it yeah gotcha So sorry you're the fighting game I'm not so that's a good point But my point was just you know games that rely on frame rate will probably benefit from usually benefit from a monitor that can provide that like 120 hurt 144 hertz but if all you're doing with your computer is playing games like Minecraft dungeons and watching Netflix then a 60 hertz 4k monitor is probably going to be awesome so i will say though Minecraft dungeons on 144 is super buttery it it looks really good yeah it runs really well sorry to say I'm sure.

No, I'm pretty good on a 60 hertz 4K monitor as well, though. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So it just depends, you know, like what people are playing with, how do you like, what they like? Yeah, I would say that the two biggest things you can do to your computer to make them just run and feel a lot better is one, for sure, getting an SSD to boot your computer, if not your games, right? That's like, it's a big, big difference. So I recently just upgraded my computer and I added another storage drive in it for SSDs

because I have a 2 terabyte storage drive for like games and everything else. And it's almost all already filled up and also load super slow. So it's kind of annoying. So I got a second one terabyte or I got an extra one terabyte M.D2 drive. And I loaded just a couple of games on there. And it's such a big difference. Because the one I have right now is only 250 gigabytes and it's just really four. for booting my computer and for storing programs.

Other than that, it's like, you know, I can't load any games on the way because they're all super big. And like the games that I want to load really fast are usually super big games that are like 80 plus gigabytes, right? So yeah. And then apart from that, of having a high refresh monitor really feels super different. Like you can, it's a big noticeable difference.

Like even if you can't like see quote unquote the frames, like you can just tell it feels a lot more smoother. It's a lot more, I don't know, it's just, it's a much better experience. Definitely recommend 120 or 144. I wasn't aware people were still able to buy 120 hertz monitors. They just went straight to 144 now. My main monitor is 144 hertz.

And then my vertical monitor I have off to the side is 60 hertz. I had a similar setup like that for a little bit. And it caused me issues and I was playing games at 144. And I was trying to watch Netflix at 60. That's your problem for trying to do two things at once. True. I solved the problem by getting 240 hertz monitors. I can't watch Netflix and play video games at the same time.

Boo-hoo. I know, right? First world problems. Oh, no. It's like. Tom Nook wants to know favorite music in an anime. Flying me to the moon. Yeah, Genesis, even good.

Oh, that's a good one. I quite like, um, I like, uh, there's a song, uh, I think it's the theme song for Beestals. Like the actual, like, there's the anime version. So like the, it's like shortened to be the theme song. But, uh, the actual, like, full song for that is actually really good. It's a really good song. Then also, the song is the song's in K-on. It's my favorite anime.

I like them. Yeah, really good show. Don't, uh, don't say lazy. stuff like that. Don't say that's some of my favorite. I can't think of, I would say the favorite music anatomy for me is definitely fully coolly. FLCL, in my opinion, has some of the best music.

And it hits in a very special way for me. And I think I've talked about the show like a million times, right? It's like that show I watched at a certain point in my life where it made a lot of sense to me. So to me, music by the pillows in FLCL is second than none. But just like Ellen said, you know, honorable mention to Kabba B-B-B-Bab because the music and that shows fire too. It slaps. It's a banger.

All right. Next question is, anime case when? Just wait until I start working there. There you go. People have actually made like anime, like, NXT anime cases. There's a really cool one that they made One Punch Man, S340 into One Punch Man. Let me share with you guys. Technically, every case is an anime case so you think about it.

I mean, just put some catoos on it. That's a real cool looking case. Yeah, I think I've been shared a video with me that I still need to put out somewhere. This guy drawing on his case looks really, really cool. Oh, yeah, that one's really dope. That's an H440, right? Yep. Yeah, there's tons of them out there.

Like, it's really, like, awesome to see what the community does. There's literally, like, tons of them. Like, I'm not exaggerating. I'm telling you, there's tons of NZXT anime cases out there. I have, it's not exactly an anime case, but I put some anime stickers on my, The bar. So it's literally just the bar in my case.

It's just all I'm there. Weeb. No, that's not true. I'm not a weep. I just watch anime casually. I don't think there's really a way to watch enemy casually, to be honest. I think either you're a web or you're not a weep. I mean, if you don't...

If you don't... If you don't... Like, if you just watch stuff for the sake of watching it, I guess. Like just having something on in the background. Here comes to a dog. She's just broken in. This isn't really cool anime-looking cases. I want one now.

I think honestly, that's like the way to go. I think people should just put their own wraps and stuff. Yeah, that's the best way to go because in order for NZXT to make an anime case, we have to go through a lot of legal loopholes, I guess. We're not even going through them, but just, you know, we have to secure license. We have to do all sorts of stuff It's not just like

We can just go out there And make a anime case With whatever we want You know I like the one you just posted That is really cool Yeah They messed up though

If you look at it closely Look at the bottom It's like really It's a bit It's a bit rare Yeah But yeah anyone can Can make an anime case

It's not that hard I think I never I never understand How they get the holes Like do they just have to like poke the holes for all the air filters in that.

So funny thing about the holes, when we did the case for the Discord, uh, Snow's giving thing, I think it's what they called it. Yeah. The dude who wrapped it literally had to individually poke every single hole in the decal that he wrapped the case in.

I mean forever too. Yeah, I wouldn't wish that on like my worst enemy, to be honest with you. Seems like a big pain in the butt. Okay. All right. So I think we should probably end it here because I know we have a very long, busy day. Wouldn't you agree, Ivan?

Yeah, every day is long and busy. Yep, every day is super long and busy. Money, do you have any parting words for the community? Anything that you want to tell them or ask them or anything like that? Stay wholesome. Don't beg the rules. get rewards I think it cut out there

did I oh okay there you said don't look a leprecon in the eyes that's also true they steal your soul um yeah I said um

stay wholesome don't break the rules and get rewards there you go that's a good parting words from the one and only queen money uh first

poochie poochies pick I keep want to say Poochies Cup Poochies pick winner for those Don't know Pucci's pick is a way for us to recognize outstanding community members. So don't be mean to people. You know, just, it's really just, it's really just be a good person.
