I Just realized it wasn't gonna picked up I have my audio filters on literally sounds horrible I'm gonna stop playing that I'll fix that and we'll keep going. How are you doing? I'm just disappointed that the music isn't gonna be played. I know it will play It'll just be like half cutting in and cutting out mmm, it will play, it'll just be like half cutting in and cutting out. Mmm, it will sound excellent and Yeah, uh,

excellent's one way to put it, that's for sure. How you been, man? Ah, yes, tea. Most important part, this is Southern Sunrise. What was that one? T2 what? T2 Southern Sunrise. What was that one? T2 what? T2 Southern Sunrise.

I've got this new cup. It says T, T, T, and it looks disgusting. Maybe I haven't seen that. I don't know when I got it. Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember why I i have it either i know my mom gave it to me i don't know what she gave it to me for though actually no i think it was on christmas so maybe you have see wait no did we do an episode after christmas I think so. I'm pretty sure. Wait, I'll double check. Yeah, 49 was in February. Okay, maybe he did say that.

Rocking the lemon and ginger. Yes, yes, I do like this one. I've been drinking a lot of it. It's really good. Let's see. I've got some random topics on here, but i don't know particularly where to go today what have you been doing with yourself uh just been working on my book oh yeah um five chat or almost five chapters of that which and they're like proper full length

chapters which is cool so that's like almost a hundred pages of like an actual book so I don't know what you were writing about I know you mentioned this last time you're on it's basically just like taking all my yeah all my, drug experiences. You know, I've never done a drug myself, of course. No, definitely not, never. But just taking all of those and kind of, like, stringing them together into a coherent story.

Well, taking all the good ones, at least. There's definitely some fucking boring ones. It's the highlights. Yeah, you keep the bad ones, you keep the good ones,'s this it's the highlights yeah you keep the bad ones you keep the good ones and leave everything in the middle out of it exactly you don't want no mundane boring piece of shit oh i smoked i smoked the devil's lettuce and i had a comfortable night like that's boring i ate food and then watched some stuff and then fell asleep. Now you need to get super paranoid. Think like the entire universe is collapsing and around you.

And that's a good night. I mean. But not that I've done anything illicit before. I cannot. Yeah, of course. You can't say that you have because that's illegal. That is illegal. For now, I kind of wonder how

long it will take for recreation to hit australia i feel like it's gonna be a little while still i know what victoria has medical doesn't it all those talks are bringing in medical I have no idea. I just need to wait for all the booms to die off. Until then, it's probably not going to happen. I kind of don't want Zoomers running the government, though. That would be... Yeah, I don't want that either.

Imagine a bunch of people like us playing Fortnite and running the government. Imagine a bunch of people like us playing Fortnite and running the government. What I was going to say is that I remember a couple of years ago, SA tried to increase the restrictions and make it super illegal to even own a little personal amount. But I don't think that got through because everyone's like no this is just so backwards and dumb now i love the uh the general idea people have um if if you get caught with it it's a problem but if if you just don't get caught like if you if

you don't have it anymore by the time they catch you it's fine so if they're about to catch you just fucking ingest whatever you can yeah which i don't think is how the law works but that's the idea that i've definitely heard from people so officer it's not on my person it's in my person it doesn't count i don i recorded a new video last week and i've been putting that together so i just got to do the music for it and then i'll actually have a video up on the channel for like the first time in like three or four months yeah i think it actually is three months was a lot i think the last one might have been like a christmas video actually yeah I think it actually is three months I think the last one might have been like a Christmas video actually yeah I think I uploaded it like a little bit before

Christmas because it was me setting up a tree oh yeah yeah it was that one wasn't it yeah putting just the most random shit you could possibly find on it but I'm pretty happy with how the new video is looking similar to I don't know if you

watched it or remembered but the one uh where we me and alfie go into a storm drain and find all the yabbies yeah i think i recall that one yeah it's kind of like that one because it's just uh us exploring like this uh abandoned we think it's an auto shop like like a mechanic because um there's just like walls with um kind of like nails and stuff where you'd put tools and shit and then there's also like um a little thing in one of the floors where you can like crawl like a little a little passageway where you could crawl down into it and then like look up and you'd be working under the car, I guess. Because it seems the factory place itself seems ancient, but, like, also kind of modern, I think.

You just broke into Holden's. It seems like it hasn't been properly used since like 2000s, I would say. But like, I think it's just used very occasionally as storage. Because like we found like a bunch of like brand new boxed up fridges and stuff. And it's like, there's no way that they are from that time ago because um everything else is super dusty but there's like these specific things that don't have as much dust on them so someone must still own it they just like haven't done anything with it i will have to check that video out when it comes out. Yeah, I'm pretty excited for it.

That's good, because it's been a while since you've made something. I wasn't sure what you were going to do with that channel. Were you just going to leave it? No, I still want to work on it, because I still want to complete the overall story that I have to tell for it. But I just... I don't know. It was kind of motivation but also like

uh there was a point before i think i'll just go on my channel but like there was a point where i was trying to make videos and just like everything would go wrong like i wouldn't be able to schedule anyone together. I couldn't, uh, I remember for the hummus video, the framing was all fucked up and like, I somehow salvaged that, but then trying to transfer all the stuff over onto my computer, errored a bunch. And then when I tried to convert the files,

it also errored a bunch. And then like everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. And then I think think so that happened and then i kind of got a little bit disillusioned and then uh you know i still made a couple videos after that that i'm like proud of and stuff but i think i just needed a little bit of a break which i don't really mind because i i think i've told you but i've never really wanted to do the channel for like monetary purposes it's just like a cool art project pretty much yeah yeah it makes sense well if you wanted to monetize it you would uh

push out the videos a bit more often than once every three months yeah exactly no but um it is good you're still you, um, it is good that you're still, you still like it, it's just that you've got other things that are taking your time, and you want to take a break, but I get that, that makes sense. Yeah, especially because, like, um, you know, making a video is just, uh, is a lot of components that you have to do. And like, especially for ones that aren't just like off the cuff. So like all the, the ones about like the sloths and stuff, they require like a lot of planning and like the actual filming of it. I remember there was like one video, there's one video where I like refilmed everything like

three times cause I wasn't happy with it and so uh in comparison just like working on the book is a lot more chill because like i i can do like a couple paragraphs or a page or two without really having to think about it because i've done all the planning for it beforehand and now i'm just kind of drawing from my memories and stuff and yeah it just flows a lot easier and also something um good about working on that is like I have the end goal of like actually getting it published so that's kind of like a goal to strive towards and like for the channel I mean I have the goal of finishing the story but that's that goal is a lot more abstract than finishing a book

so with the the book do you like set yourself a amount you want to write every so often or you just like sort of wing it as you're going uh i kind of just go with how I'm feeling because, like, I think if I set specific deadlines and, like, specific times that I wanted to work on it, I think that would really kill my want to do it because I kind of only write stuff for it when I'm feeling in the mood because i mean i think you also just like if you force yourself to do something that's like super creative like that if you if you're forcing yourself to do it i feel like it it um suffers a little bit because like think about doing like an assignment or something and you've like left into the last minute and then you have to force yourself to do it it's gonna be i mean it's not really exactly the same thing but i think you understand what i get what you're getting at with that yeah just i i tried not to make myself

do it i want to what i want to do it like yeah yeah i know that if i if i do something like that i'll just never get anything done so i sort of have to put myself in a position where i am forcing myself to do it like with the videos for example if i just say oh i will only make the videos if i want to do it i i wouldn't be making as many as i do like i kind of say okay you're gonna make today, whether you like it or not, start doing it, and then it's probably going to pick up from there. Yeah. So how long do you... Oh, sorry.

I was just going to say, like, it's probably also a little bit easier for you because you've kind of, like, gotten yourself into the routine of, like, your whole process, whereas I'm, like, a lot more chaotic about it. Yeah, I have to have that process there because I am very chaotic, and if I don't, then, yeah, I cannot guarantee anything's actually going to get done

when I want it to get done. Yeah. So, how long are you actually planning to make the book? So, I want to have 21 chapters. I've picked out all the specific experiences that I want to have as each chapter. Because, yeah, each chapter is centered around one of the experiences, whether it be like from weed or alcohol or something else um and so yeah i picked out my 21 favorite things because um 21's my favorite number right and i've kind of like um incorporated that through some of the other stuff in the book so it's kind of like just

a consistent like i don't know if it's called a motif or like just because it's not a theme i think it's just a certain thing that like is reoccurring because it's kind of cool um and i felt like that's a good number cause I was looking up, um, I've based my kind of structure of the book from the Harry Potter books. Cause like that was what I most recently read. And I really liked the chapter lengths and like, um, just like the length of,

I really liked the length of the third book, which is probably going to be around how big mine is, which is like 300 and a bit pages i yeah um so that's roughly how big i think it's gonna end up being um yeah god that sounds like a that sounds like a project it definitely is a project but uh i've been surprised i think because of the way i've been approaching it i have still i still have like the same amount of motivation i have like a quarter way in as i did at the start i think yeah because i have just been doing it when i've felt the urge to instead of yeah just forcing myself to which is a trap i fell into when i was

making videos more consistently like i was like i need to have a video out like this week or every fortnight and i think that's when my uh less than optimal videos came out i don't know if we got into it last time but why did you actually we probably did but why did you actually want to make the book um it's just it's something that i've wanted to do for the longest time because i would always keep notes and stuff all these experiences i would have and like i really wanted to do it as like a comic booky thing i guess but i mean i i tried doing that and i got like three or four pages in of just sketches and i'm like this is actually fucked like i have a lot of respect people actually draw comics and manga for

like a full-time job because that's a lot of fucking work yeah it's insane like so yeah but i still really wanted to like do something because like with all of these notes that i have from like every experience i'm like this is like a lot of untapped potential i guess and like um yeah i really wanted to put it into something i was like well i started getting I guess. And like, um, yeah, I really wanted to put it into something. I was like, well, I started getting into reading a lot cause I did all the Harry Potter books.

And then, um, I've been reading some other stuff that I got and I, I just thought it'd be a good way to convert it into, yeah, that kind of format instead. And there's also a lot more freedom, I guess, because I would be limited

by what I could draw properly, and I feel like I would obsess over something if I didn't draw it completely right. But with a book, you're not really limited to much. Well, if you want to keep the um the drawing idea there

what you could do is just instead of having like really boring chapter markers you could have some image that represents the following chapter yeah that's something i really considered because um i got the book that coralline is based off of doing that movie um i haven't read it yet, but when I flicked through it, it has a picture at the end of every chapter of one of the really important things from that chapter. I was thinking, once I finish it, if I feel like doing that, I think that's what I'd do to, like, kind of got it compromised, yeah. Yeah, I've got a bunch of books on my shelf that do basically the same

thing i think they're they're definitely a good addition especially when it is something like that where it's sort of like to encompass what the entire chapter is supposed to be representing but then you're gonna have to if you do want to do that you have to like worry about exactly how you want to represent the chapter yeah i guess that's um why it would probably be better to like also just put it at the end of the chapter instead of the front because like that way you're not setting up uh like expectations for the chapter or anything and so like the the, the reader kind of, like, has gone through it and they kind of get their impression of what it is. And then, you know, there's also this cool picture that kind of, like, illustrates something from it.

I have no idea what... Oh, there it is. What the fuck is going on with your lighting? It's blindingly bright. And then it's dark again i have um the windows open so it's probably just like clouds moving over that explains it yeah if it's too distracting then i can close it and turn the light on no no it's all good man i was just confused what was happening yeah um Let's see.

What do we have on this list of topics? Did you hear... I've got some gaming topics on here if you want to talk about those. Sure. Cam Lee is going to be thrilled. I haven't spoken to him in a while. I presume he still watches the podcast. Yeah. I think he only watches ones that seem interesting and the ones that I'm on.

Yeah, that's fair. Actually, no, I've got another one here about Netflix. So Netflix is trying to crack down on people doing password sharing. Okay. I'll send you a link to it. Bottom left-hand corner of the chat window. Oh. Okay. I'll send you a link to it. Uh, if you... Oh, bottom left-hand corner of the chat window. Oh.

Ooh. That sounded weird. Maybe send... Can you send it to me on Discord so I can just open it up on my computer? Uh, I don't have Discord open.

Wait, oh, there we go. And that breaks everything. Damn, I shouldn't have done that. Uh, okay. We... We not broken? Nope, we're... Shit, that was not a good idea.

I'll fix that. Properties. Jitsi. Yes, that one? Yep. Okay, cool. I think we're good now. Yeah, we're good now. Alright.

Oops. Well, that's fine. The audio listeners won't get to deal with that they'll just deal with me being confused all right sharing your mates account yeah this is from abc.net.au so expect expect garbage uh i love the abc so basically what's happening is netflix is testing like on some accounts they're gonna have a message there that says if you don't live with the owner of this account you need your own account to keep watching which i feel like is gonna is gonna break in a lot of cases like say for example you log into netflix from a hotel yeah that's like that was my first thought just like you know if you are elsewhere and it's just like well i guess it depends on like if it's based on like ip or whatever basically what what's going to happen if that message shows up is you'll be sent a verification code.

That's actually how... I think that's their main thing about getting this to actually stop. So if you don't actually own the account, then basically the owner of the account will have a verification code sent to their email, which will make it much harder to actually use it if, say, you're sharing it with, I don't know, a friend or something like that. Yeah. harder to actually use it if say you're like sharing it with i don't know a friend or something like that yeah i mean like that's uh an all right way to do it i guess if it's not like i mean it would be really shitty if it happened every time you like

turned your netflix on in somewhere else like say you have like a family member that lives in a different house and you just want to share that. Cause like, you know, you're a fucking family member. No, you have to buy the family account. You are not allowed to use a solo account.

Oh, you go over to your girlfriend's place. You're like, Hey, let's watch something on Netflix. Oh wait, sorry. I have to get my verification code first actual cock blocked by the verification code cock blocked by big tech

big flicks but the reason why they say they're doing it basically is because there's a bunch of other companies there like Stan, Disney+, Binge, Kaio, Amazon Prime, and it's hard to get new users on their platform, so they're making their platform worse

to bring new users on, I guess. That's their logic. I don't know what, like, I guess to entice people to come to your platform, I guess you just need to have, like, shows that, like, the other ones don't have. Mm-hmm. But I don't really know anything about, like, the deals and shit that they do to get shows on their services.

I guess it would be easier if Disney Plus probably has the best... I can't think of the word. But they'd be the best off in terms of that because they own pretty much everything that they put on there. Only recently they started putting other stuff on, but I think they also own that. It's just not under the Disney brand, I guess. Well, that's the same position that HBO's in.

Yeah. This picture right here basically sums up everything. Here you go. Excellent 4chan picture. Yep. So, for any of the audio listeners, 80s, 90s, 2000s, everyone is forced to pay for media. Sometime around 2007, the year's a bit off.

I would say it's more like 2002. The internet becomes good enough for piracy to be widely practiced. Piracy becomes popular enough for it to be a real problem for megacorps who want to keep all their money. Suddenly, Netflix. Piracy falls out of vogue hard because there's basically no reason to pirate anything anymore. Streaming really is just that cheap and convenient Netflix gets greedy they want to pivot into being a production company uh production companies are threatened by this

they start to pull their shit from Netflix won't let Netflix host their shit at any price seeing the amount of money Netflix uh made doing streaming uh these companies decide to independently set up their own streaming services Basically how we got Disney plus the average person doesn't have the money to subscribe to all of them Some of these companies aren't even selling their films and television shows anymore. It's all just streaming people go back to piracy on mass Question question question profit all hail the internet get fuck streaming industry pretty much sums up the situation that's happening now Yeah, I feel like The sorry we said I was just gonna say like um

Like I Understand from a certain perspective why streaming services wouldn't want to sell understand from a certain perspective why streaming services wouldn't want to sell like physical copies or like uh like digital versions anymore but yeah i can get that like i understand that because it means that people have to come to your service for that but also it's just kind of counterintuitive because if you do sell those things you're still going to be making like additional profit off of that because the people that like think of the main customer base for people buying that stuff it's not going to be random people it's going to be people already subscribed to your service and

they're going to want the physical versions as well i just i don't know it's it just seems off to me because i'd love to to own a big consumer brain right here but i'd love to own some like of my favorite netflix shows and stuff on disc for when like i don't have access to internet and stuff yeah yeah um but going back a bit up through that with the uh netflix becoming a production company then everyone being like nah we, we're just going to do our own thing. That's pretty much, like, what's happening right now. Like, early on, Netflix was picking up basically everything. There was really no issues. They had basically whatever you wanted to watch,

unless you were in Australia, in which case they didn't have anything. But... I mean, Australia... I remember when, like, Australian Netflix came, and that was like the meme that they had nothing but like they they did have some like legitimately good stuff because that was also when netflix originals were like every original was like a fucking banger so like i guess the jokes it's the same thing with how, like, TV has nothing on it.

Like, it has stuff on it, it's just you want to watch a specific show, and that specific show probably isn't going to be there. Yeah. I mean, like, but also TV is, like, a lot dodgier. Well, yeah, you sort of have to deal with the time constraints and stuff that exist around that. Yeah. have to deal with the time constraints and stuff that exist around that yeah but and it's not it's not like a free-to-air tv here is any good anyway um there's like a handful of good shows and like the cooking shows if you're into that you mean you don't like uh holy moly

oh no please no we need to enlighten the non-Australians on what Holy Moly is. I haven't even watched any of it. I just saw the advertisements for it on, like, buses and shit. I'm like, this looks awful. This is such, like, Gen X bait. Just, like... We could probably do an entire podcast

just talking about bad Australian free-to-air TV. Just Australian media in general. Okay, so basically, holy moly. Oh my god, it's getting a second season. Why? Okay, holy moly. So basically, imagine Wipeout and make it bad and merge it with mini-golf

and that's what this is I don't know why just do more Wipeout that's entertaining enough yeah man, Wipeout Wipeout Australia not the best version of Wipeout but it's Wipeout. Wipeout Australia. Not the best version of Wipeout, but it's Wipeout still.

What other garbage has there been? Wasn't there one... Like, all of the... All of the channels are sort of, like, rolling out this garbage right now. We're just like, I don't understand. Okay, no, I understand why they're doing it because they don't have any viewers and they don't know how to attract young people.

So like, okay, what do young people like? They like people hurting themselves. Okay, let's do that. They like dumb things. Yeah, attract the kids, even though they don't really care. They'll just watch better stuff online. Yeah, that's like i don't really know how you attract that kind of like from like toddler to uh like adult i guess

like that whole demographic is just like they're not watching actual tv anymore like the tv that they would have in their rooms would be a smart one that's just hooked up to the internet i seriously doubt that they would even have like a coaxial cable plugged in i think the only tv that i would even consider watching like there's occasionally something on like uh freeview like is that the streaming thing yeah yeah yeah so there's occasional things that show up on there i won't watch it when it actually comes out on tv but i will watch it on there that's that's i guess that's one way but usually it is usually the show either exists somewhere else or the shows on there are just not great. Yeah.

I mean, there's also ABC iView, which is good because that's a completely free streaming service of all of ABC's stuff from TV. And usually that's where you find actual good shows. So that's also a good option but again i don't think for the majority of like people around our age group i don't think the stuff on iview is really targeted to them i guess i've never even looked at iview um yeah it's got some good stuff it's mostly kind of like Like fucking grand designs

And like cooking shows And stuff like that That makes sense Yeah Comedy gold Okay, what do we have under the comedy gold section? Let's find out We have why you like this

aftertaste staged hard quiz. Oh god, you've... you're still on TV apparently. Okay. Yeah, this is just boring Australian TV. I have no interest in watching like TV comedy. Just, yeah, I don't know. Australian, like, video media is, like, very hit or miss. Unless it's A Current Affair, that's fun. A Current Affair is, like, even if you're making fun of it, it's still painful to watch. I don't know the last time you've actually watched the news, but it is a struggle to get through. So, a current affair for anyone who isn't Australian.

So, our current affair for anyone who isn't Australian, basically, you know how the reporters on 60 Minutes are really in your face and really annoying? Take that, but make it about the most mundane shit possible. Like, I don't know, this dude here, there was one story I saw where this dude painted half of a car because the guy only paid half the money. That's so stupid. And he was acting like this is such a big problem for him that his car is only half painted. Had he ever considered just getting the other half of the car painted? Such an outrage. And stuff just like, my neighbour is being loud! Actually, let's find some stuff on the Ocarina of Fate YouTube channel

and just see what they've got there. Because it's always just gold Let's see No, I don't want to play it If journalism was like ever actually good or if it's always just been shit There was apparently a time when it was good. I don't have any proof of it though There was apparently a time when it was good. I don't have any proof of it, though.

Just that conspiracy. I don't know if it's a conspiracy theory or just, like, a kind of thought experiment thing. But it's just, like, what if you woke up this morning and, like, everything that has happened to you in your life was just implanted in your brain and this is actually the first day you're alive it's like cook shit like that i think it's um i think it might be a symptom of schizophrenia i'm not sure um but like yeah those kinds of things uh I forgot what I was going what my point of this was but I just thought of it I thought I'd just chuck it out there yeah I don't know where you're going with that oh no I do remember it's um so like that would mean that you know technically everything you can't know that anything that happened in history is like everything you can't know that anything that happened in history is like real or true so it's just like maybe journalism was always just bullshit maybe a current affair is your link to the real

world oh my god that's the only way to get access bro we're in the matrix and a current affair is the guys outside the matrix trying to feed us the truth. Tracy Grimshaw is the only one who has the truth. Okay, so here we go. Supermarket claims they have the best servo coffee at $1. Now that one's too serious. Let's see. Now that one's too serious. Let's see.

Former- Former bikey trying to change the broken youth crime system. Okay, that's fine. A new age of criminal cryptocurrency investigation. Apparently there was a priest who got fired For having a Uh Having a divorce Oh my god this is a good one Preschool director call for nationwide Drug testing I'm guessing they want to drug test the kids

Why not The preschool kids, of course. Mate, the preschool kids are like absolutely just... They're all mad stoners. They're all doing cones before they come into class. That's why they can't focus on anything and need ADHD medication.

Now that's a theory I can get behind. Oh my lord. I would suggest just going and watching A Current Affair. It'll be a great use of your time. I can guarantee it. Yeah, of course. You'll find out so much about Australia. Totally.

Totally. CBD oil now available without prescription. That's actually good. Yeah prescription that's actually good well it was always available but you know whether you're allowed to own it or not I don't know where would you even buy just CBD oil from like

I can't imagine like some drug dealer being like you know I've got CBD oil from like I can't imagine like some drug dealer being like you know I've got CBD oil CBD oil along with his his Panadol and other stuff that you just get your hair done pretty easily

got some Panadol got some Nurofen what do you want from me I've got Aspirin Iol, got some Nurofen. What do you want from me? I've got Aspirin. I've even got some... This is a secret. I've got some nicotine patches. Got the hard stuff. I've got some Hydrolytes in here.

This is the really special stuff, okay? It gives you all the minerals that you need if you're feeling a bit lacking how about some how about some butter menthols fucking hate butter menthols i just like can't stand them they're just like icky yeah they're not great are they i'd much rather just have a strepsil, because at least that's, like... Yeah. Like, I know that's meant to taste like medicine, but butter menthols try to, like,

hide the fact that it's trying to fix you up. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they're... They're in... I don't know how to describe the taste. Like, it's not butter. I don't know... It's not.

It's just, like, this weird creamy thing, and then you get, like, i don't know it's not it's just like this weird creamy thing and then you get like this weird chemically taste and it's just like i yeah i i don't understand i've i've had plenty of them before but i will avoid them if i can i'd much rather just go to sleep for a couple more hours and see if that fixes it yeah or again just have a strep yeah or have a strap so yeah that's probably a better idea uh let's see uh oh here right we'll go to that gaming article I mentioned. Did you hear what happened with Terraria on the Google Stadia? I did not. So, basically, the developer initially got his account banned. He never worked out why he got his account banned.

And when that happened, he was like, lol, we're just not going to make Terraria for Stadia. And apparently it's being made now. Interesting. I don't know why. Terraria is a fun game, though. I haven't played it in quite a while. It is.

It's an excellent game. I thought Stadia had already died. I'm surprised it hasn't, to be honest. Google usually kills stuff quicker than this. I don't know. For me, at least, I know my internet and a lot of people's internet are just not there for it. So it's kind of just, like, this redundant thing.

Yeah, I'm not sure how well it would work in Australia. I mean, like, maybe... I don't know. Just find out. Like, if you're using it at home on your home internet, it kind of defeats the purpose of it, doesn't it? Like, because you can just play those games on your computer or your console well if you don't have a good computer I think that's the sort of people it's targeted

towards okay I guess so okay four months ago it apparently wasn't available in Australia. I don't know if it is now. Well, I think, like, you know, they rolled it out in the US. I think there was just, like, a lot of problems with it. So, I'm guessing they wouldn't bring it here until that was ready. Well, it is, like, an online game streaming service. And they've all had problems consistently throughout their life yeah i don't get it i don't get the like and no terraria is a weird one for stadia as well because it's not like you need a good computer to play that like you can play it on like a phone

basically yeah you can it is on the app store oh Okay, well, you don't need... Why would you play it on Stadia, then? I don't understand. I don't know, because, like, isn't... Stadia is... You can use it as your phone attached to a controller, can't you? Isn't that, like... Something like that. I don't know. I think I'm a little bit

ignorant on the subject to properly talk shit about it. Yeah, I haven't paid too much attention to Stadia because, like... I haven't paid attention to, like, any gaming stuff since, like... I think I watched E3, like... It didn't happen last year, but I think I watched it the year before, and I was like, this is... i'm not excited about this shit anymore it's just like all boring and like the same shit and it's like if there's a game that i think i like i'll probably just find out about it through other means like

yeah i i already have like a long enough library of things I want to play anyway. So, more games doesn't... Like, it's cool, but, like, it's not super exciting. Like, in the past, when something new was announced, I'd be like, wow, that's awesome. Now, I'll probably buy it when it's on sale anyway. Yeah. Because why would you buy full-price video games? That doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. yeah just why would you buy full price video games that doesn't make any sense yeah I've been playing time for two I played it a lot on my ps4 when I first came out and I remembered that it was a game that I really loved yeah I bought it on Steam because I had like $, $100 in my Steam wallet. And so I'm like, I'm just going to buy this. And, yeah, I've been playing that, and it's, like, just as good as I remember it being. It's, like, easily... I think it's easily the best, like, FPS game.

Hmm. Are there still people playing that now? Yeah, I was, like... I looked into it a lot before i got it because i was like i want to buy this and then there's going to be no one to play but like you can unless you're on like one of the really down peak times like you can get a game within like two or three minutes okay which is like just as good as something like Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike has like one of the highest player bases on Steam

that's cool I'd never played either of the Titanfall games why did Titanfall 2 fail? why did it fail? Titanfall 2 fail? Why did it fail? Titanfall 2 failed because EA... Didn't have much of a marketing budget. That's what people say here. Well, yeah, and also EA just, like, fucked it

because it got released in between Battlefield and COD. So, like, you know, who's going to want to buy another FPS when they're already, like... They're the kind of people that, like, you know, you'd think would be into buying Titanfall as a game. You know, they already had, like, I don't remember what order, I don't remember if it was called Battlefield or the other way around, but, like, they'd have one play that for, like, six months

and then the next one would come out. Yeah, you don't want to just, they chuck titanfall 2 right in the middle of that and it's like well the first one already kind of like had a somewhat bad reputation because it didn't have a single player campaign and everyone was like oh yeah i don't remember that that thing that didn't make any sense who plays the single player of a multiplayer shooter anyway well that's exactly the point but like everyone just had a fucking sook about it but so you know in the second one they fixed like literally every problem that anyone had they did a campaign they fixed all of like the balance issues or whatever and like it to me

it's basically just like a perfect game but yeah the release date the reputation the marketing budget the marketing budget it probably all just like compounded and fucked the game which is a shame because it's really amazing i'm looking at some reviews right now and apparently yeah that's what people say there's like a couple of one stars but that's sort of expected most of them are five stars here. It's kind of weird though that EA would do that because they're the publishers of Battlefield like I get I get competing with Call of Duty. Like, you can do nothing to stop that. But why... Like, Battlefield releases every couple of years. Yeah, I really don't know what they were thinking.

There must be an explanation about it that, like, just wasn't publicised, I guess. That would make sense, but... I don't know. EA does EA things. Yeah, but I guess the good make sense but I don't know EA does EA things but I guess the good thing is like if they ever make a third one which I don't know how likely it is but if they ever do

then that should do well and EA would probably treat them right just because like Apex has been such a hit and it's made by the same people yeah that's a good point actually I didn't realise they were the same people. Yeah, that's a good point, actually. I didn't realise they were the same company,

but, yeah, the fact that games like Apex are doing well now, I think Titanfall would do better now. Yeah, well, like, Apex, I think it really benefited from when it was released and the way it was. It kind of just came out of nowhere and it came at the perfect time when Battle Royales were still popular but kind of dying down and people were kind of sick of it, I guess.

But the way it came in was good because it's a lot I think it's, I don't like Apex very much, but I think it's a lot more interesting than most Battle Royales just because of like the movement and stuff Yeah, it looks like an interesting game when I

see people play it, like if I was going to play a Battle Royale, it probably would be Apex Yeah Tetris 99 Tetris 99 people will play it. If I was going to play a Battle Royale, it probably would be Apex. Yeah. Tetris 99. Tetris 99. That's the best Battle Royale. I usually play single player games though, so it's not exactly the game I would

usually get into. No, fair enough. Like there's a few exceptions, but my thing with single my thing with multiplayer games is I tend to get very competitive. And when I'm playing a game, I usually just want to do it to sort of relax. Yeah. But if that's the sort of thing you're into, then hey, that's cool.

I guess I just like Titanfall because it's's just like even if you're doing bad you still can have a lot of fun with it because the well for one just moving around the map is like insanely fun because it's just like so smooth and you can wall run everywhere and like basically anything that you see on the map you can climb up to like it doesn't block you off or anything there's only like a few spots where it's like if you stay there too long um you have to go back to the main area but like yeah because there's like ai enemies as well that you can like kill and then there's the real players and then like there's the big titans and stuff and like just by doing any action without the match contributes to like

you getting your titan which makes the game easier i guess and so like yeah even if you're doing shit you can still rebound that pretty easily and like if you're doing really good then you're like oh yeah fuck yeah let's keep going yeah that's one of the problems that you have with um especially the earlier call of duty games back when killstreaks didn't uh or when killstreaks did reset when you died yeah but like so someone could get like as soon say like an mw2 as soon as someone started getting their killstreaks basically they would just chain into more killstreaks, which sort of broke the game. Yeah.

Like, I played a bit of COD. I think we've talked about this, but yeah, I played a bit of COD, but comparatively, like, it doesn't even seem remotely interesting. But I think I'm in the minority for that because um people don't like i remember when infinite warfare came out everyone was having a like we don't want roll one a wall running in jetpacks we want literally the same game. It's like, okay, you're a smooth brain over here. I want literally the same game, and now Warzone does actually pretty well.

Pretty well for a COD game. Yeah. Because the franchise has sort of been like... It's been very much dwindling, because it has been the same game. FIFA somehow still does well, though. I don't understand the FIFA thing, but... I think FIFA's core audience is just

like, I want to play FIFA, I don't care if it's the same game. I think also it helps that there's not really a competitor to FIFA. Like, if you want to play a soccer game, you don't really have much choice. Yeah, pretty much. Like, all of the sports

games are owned by EA, and I don't think I've seen another proper competitor to any of them. There's been a couple of here and there titles, but nothing that becomes an established franchise. I wonder if that's because there's no point to trying or I wonder if like EA has like some special pattern on like game design of soccer I don't know. Well there has been games like PES in the past. Oh yeah I guess so. Tell me that's not actually published by EO. I don't think so. I'm not sure.

Uh. Oh, apparently the series is still going. Yeah, the game came out last year. Maybe I just haven't heard of it for a while. Just because I haven't really been tapped into that kind of stuff. Yeah, just haven't heard it for a while. Just because I haven't really been tapped into that kind of stuff. Yeah, I don't care at all about the sports game scene. Anyone I know

who plays sports games plays the EA sports games and complains about them constantly. But then keeps buying them for some reason. Yeah. I've been playing FIFA ever since 07, you know, I got FIFA 07, FIFA 08, FIFA 09, FIFA 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, I even got FIFA 22 already, okay.

You wanna see my FIFA collection? Oh, but you have to keep buying the new one, because if you don't buy the new one, then you're not going to be able to play against people. Yeah, exactly. And then you have to rebuy all your characters, and yay, fun. It's like, yeah, it's just like some big money scam that people just haven't caught on to, I guess.

No, people have caught on to at least like the US government has. And they've been to court a couple of times and they just change how they describe the mechanics. I think they're now like, what do they call them? Random game elements? No, sorry, surprise elements. That's what they call them. or no sorry surprise elements that's what they call them so they kind of describe like a kinder egg and how kinder eggs have these surprise elements therefore it's okay when we have it in our game yeah but like if you buy a kinder egg you still get the chocolate though do you

want the chocolate though kinder chocolate's pretty good i think you're the only one who's ever said that. Maybe not the Kinder egg chocolates, but there's, like, there's, um, like, Kinder chocolate things that are, like, the size of Kit Kats, and they fucking taste amazing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. I don't remember what they're called, but they're really good. Mmm. See, I've got a fun topic. I doubt you've heard of this one 3D printed homes

Yeah, in Austin they are selling 3D printed homes for $450,000 and apparently it takes a week to print it I love the dog in that picture I didn't notice that before is that like

gonna be a stable home I don't know I don't particularly know what the deal with these ones are oh they've got a video here I'm gonna play the video without audio so yeah it's sort of Oh, they've got a video here. I'm going to play the video without audio. So, yeah, it's sort of...

Kind of like 3D printed with concrete sort of stuff. I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like concrete. It's basically like you're building up a house with layers of concrete. Looks like pastry. I don't know how long these would be- looks like pastry. I don't know how long these would survive for though, that's a concern. Like, do they smooth them out? Maybe. I have so many questions.

Or maybe they put like layers on, like they just layer boards on them. So the outside's not 3D printed but the structure is. Maybe. That's weird. It's kind of cool though.

Yeah. I wonder like... I wouldn't pay $ cool, though. Yeah. I wonder, like... I wouldn't pay $450,000 for it. Not $450,000 US. That'd be like, what, $600,000 probably. Yeah, if I was going to pay that much for a house, I'd want it to be actually built

with, like, metal frames and stuff. Yeah, I'll let the rich people beta test it for me. Okay, according to the company, it says that it's more durable than traditional construction materials, but, like... Are we comparing that to a wood? In what context? In what context?

Like, of course, if you have, like have a wooden plank and you have this concrete shit and you try and pressure test it, of course the concrete's going to be better. But in a whole house situation, it probably changes. Over time, this is going to end up being probably a much cheaper way to build a house i presume that's that's why they want to do it you wouldn't want to do this just for the the speed improvement you'd want to have some like considerable um construction cost reduction yeah oh icon is working with nasa on research and development of space-based construction system with the ultimate goal of putting buildings on the moon and Mars.

I guess that is a good application for it, because, like, you could just kind of, like, set it and forget it. That reminds me. Oh, my God. Thank you. Did you hear about NASA's Cum rocket? No, I did not. I didn't know about this until, like, this morning,

but Critical did a video on this, and I need to tell you about the cum rocket. Okay, here. Oh, that's excellent. Basically, NASA wants to create, I guess you call it like the Noah's Ark sort of thing. They want to shoot, I think it was, how many missiles was it? Was it 250? Yeah, they want to shoot 250 missiles full of semen to the moon.

Basically, I guess, to start a new life, or potentially jumpstart new life on the moon. What do you think about the seaman rockets? Excellent. I don't know why the fuck you'd want to live on a moon, though. And they're going to be, um, to make sure the seaman doesn't freeze, they're going to be heating it with the underground lava tubes.

I don't know, but maybe we can create Martians if they don't already exist. Something interesting about if you were born on the moon, you probably couldn't ever come back to Earth because the gravity

on the moon would affect how you're like, how you grow and stuff. And so, like, yeah, like, if you came to Earth, the gravity would just, like, snap you in half. Yeah, I hear that's sort of a concern with these, what are they, the general consumer space missions, the general consumer space missions where as you come back from a long mission, um, your bone density, even from just being an adult and going into space is going to be reduced.

Yeah. People are going on the international space station. That's like, they always have to do exercises and stuff to like stop their muscles and bones from, um, atrophying. Like even then when I come back, it's still like a really big shock because you've been in like um you know zero gravity essentially

for like nine months i think is how long they stay in the space station oh geez yeah it's quite a long time and yeah if if you were like just an average person that went up and like well first of all we have to deal with like you know the g-forces of leaving the planet but also like yeah i think if you stay up for more than like a month or something then those things begin to happen and like i don, I don't know, there's probably, like, like, obviously, they would have thought about it, but I don't know how much is, like, yeah. Well, apparently, Tesla is, uh, still, or, sorry, Tesla, SpaceX is still working on their stuff, I don't know when that's actually gonna happen, um, but, hey, But hey, eventually I guess Tesla's going to do that.

But I was looking at... I keep saying Tesla. SpaceX. It's all Elon Musk stuff. With the bone mass thing, according to Wikipedia, every one month in space you lose 1% of your bone mass.

So you have to be benching 200 kilos to make sure you don't lose your bone mass. Yeah. So you have to be like benching 200 kilos to make sure you don't lose your mass. That's, yeah, that's insane. I'll be back in a just moment. I don't know if he's gonna cut it or if I have to keep you entertained but you know what what can I talk about let's just see what I have on my desktop right now I reckon I have all my computers being I got I've got my recycling bin. That's a handy one for everyone to have. I've got RBS. I've got Steam for some reason.

I don't know why that shortcut's there. I've got my Discord profile picture. I've got Minecraft, and I've got my Minecraft server that doesn't work but it has a cool world on it so I still have that just sitting there you know. I got my resume, that's pretty groovy. Those are the cool things I have on my desktop. In my recycling bin I got some pictures that I used to create some thumbnails for my videos.

What else I got? I got some random pictures. I got some mp4s that have image names for some reason. Maybe I accidentally converted some pictures into mp4, so that's kind of stupid. Yeah, most of my stuff in here is just for... Oh, and he's back. From outer space. What was this? I was just saying you're back.

I don't know if you're going to cut that or not. I was just talking about what I have on my desktop. Oh, I might. If you talk about stuff though, I might not. I don't think it was very interesting, but you can decide. I will, yeah, I will decide. What's in your cup? Just water? Yeah, just water. I finished my tea. Must be fun. If it wasn't Sunday, I would have more drinks, but it... Are those alcoholic beverages?

Yeah, this is from last night's stream. What are they? Focus on the fucking thing. Stop focusing on my damn face! My face isn't even on the... How are you doing this? I don't understand this camera. Stop it.

Alright, what is it? Just tell us. It is a Koyomi highball. Which is what? It is a... It's a shochu, which is like a Japanese whiskey, mixed with mandarin and grapefruit. Interesting.

Tastes pretty good, actually. I've been drinking pina coladas. Well, that's a choice. Yeah, I think they're very nice. Yeah, I'll agree. And they're, like, super easy to make. It's just, like, Malibu

and pineapple juice. So, I mean, and lemon juice, but you can't really taste it, so... I don't know, I've sort of fallen out of drinking, like, hard stuff.

Like, when I was growing up and not allowed to drink, I was... I was allowed to drink. The government didn't like it, though. I'd be more than happy to, like, drink a lot of Jack'ss but as i've gotten a bit older now it's just like you know what i i like something that's what is this uh 0.8 standard

drinks that's lovely yeah i haven't been properly drunk in like over a year i think because i had like a traumatizing experience that always makes it fun yeah i just like uh just the worst hangover ever i'm just like i really don't ever want to go through this again so like ever since i've made sure that like, if I am going to drink some stuff, I don't go hard at all. I'll just like have, like, I think my upper limit that I've had is like three or four standard drinks total. I'm like,

that's enough. Yeah. I think it'd be even longer for me. I think the last time I properly got drunk might have been like Jai's yeah Jai's 21st when was that? whenever Jai was 21

I guess we'll never know then guess we'll never know like a year and a half ago maybe two years ago? I don't know how old Jai is. I have no idea. But I don't think I've probably got drunk since then. I usually, when I drink now, I'm like,

I have one drink, I have one water, and just balance them back and forth. I wake up and I'm like, I don't have any hangover whatsoever. That's the way to go. My sister is still very much in the hard drink phase. No water, no food, you'll be good. She wakes up feeling shit every time. I'm like, I've told you this so many times,

just follow my advice. Nope, doesn't do it. No, I just... Just the aftermath is not worth the... I don't know, I guess the heights that you can get to. Yeah, there's much more... Or there's much less destructive aftermaths than alcohol, for sure. I feel like the whole, all of alcohol is just, like, this balancing game.

Like, if you do what you're doing, you're, like, balancing the drinks with water. Or if you're, like, trying to just get tipsy, then you have to, like, make sure you don't have too much. Or if you want to get buzz then you have to like make sure you don't have too much or if you want to get buzzed you have to make sure you don't have too much so you get drunk and then like if you want to be drunk but not just fucked up then you and it's like always so hard to tell if you are like the further down that hole that you go it's like no no i'll be fine i'm just having one more drink and then it just hits you and you're just like laying on the floor dying i got the spins going and it's like fucking i please make it stop and then you wake up and you feel like fucking a trash can yeah no i don't really enjoy the like the like feeling of being super drunk either like if i'm out clubbing, that's different.

But I haven't been clubbing in years. Clubbing is very overrated. Do you hear how Reds is handling their people limits and when they first opened up, what they were doing to not get completely fucked get completely, like, fucked by the restrictions. I think I heard of it, but I don't remember. Basically, they had turned themselves into a pub, so they still kept, like, the really loud music going,

but you weren't allowed to dance unless you had a private booth, and you could dance in the private booth. But otherwise, you could go to the the bar buy a drink stand at the bar and have a drink or go back to your table and drink it i don't know but the music was still like reds music so and awful why would you do it why would you do it yourself i think just the fact that like if you if you go to town and then you come home the fact that your ears will be ringing is just a sign that it's not a good thing

i kind of wonder what the um i'm sure there's like a legal limit for how loud they can have the music i mean probably but it's probably like super high we did like it's got to be somewhere between sensible and jet engine because jet engine would like blow your eardrums out yeah uh south australia i wonder i guess something else as well though is like that doesn't take into consideration like everyone else that's talking and like that's just more noise for you to hear

well it's less talking and more like really loud yelling unless you can lift it yeah it's just all stuff about corona lovely yeah I don't care. That's not what I'm looking for. And here's noise restrictions

by general people. That's not what I'm looking for. Use of power toys... Power toys... Power tools is limited to between 7am and 6pm on weekdays. I did not know that. Huh.

I didn't know that either. 7am seems too early. Yeah, a little bit. It's like, oh, finally I can have a sleep in for like an extra hour and then some fucking dickheads like Jackhammer. Yeah, my neighbours like to mow their lawns at seven in the morning. And they're the kind of people who like their lawns to be basically the same height all the time. So if it's like grown a centimetre, time to cut it.

It just reminds me of like, as soon as it hits Sunday in my suburb, everyone on the street already has their bins out. I'm like, half the time I forget to put mine out. Yeah, I forget what bins to put out. Usually I go by what my neighbours have done. Yeah, that's what I do. Like, you can find the information online, but the website is so awfully laid out. It's just like, I'm not dealing with it.

I'll just let, I'll let the other people work it out for me. Just any government website be like. Hmm. Oh, speaking of that, um, as of the 18th of March,

I will have my full license. That's, that is exciting. And I, I got to spend $ dollars to get it for 10 years that what the fuck that's so busted it's fifty dollars a year but still like i wanted fifty dollars that's actually so stupid so i've got a new photo.

I don't have the license yet, sadly, so I can't show you it. But I guarantee that no matter what face I was doing, it's going to look so fucking bad. You can never have a good ID photo. I think I get my full license next February. Oh, nice. Which is cool. I just wish full license next February. Oh, nice. Which is cool.

I just wish I did it earlier. Because, I mean, like, I put it off because I didn't think I'd need to drive a car for the longest time. But, like, I should have just done it anyway. I had the exact same mentality. Yeah. I had the exact same mentality yeah there was a while there when my mum was trying to push me to get my bike license she was like oh it'll be it'll be easier just to get that and then you'll be able to

drive straight away by yourself and to be honest it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea yeah it is a lot easier to get your motorcycle license it's just like a two day course and then you have it I'm pretty sure assuming you pass it which is kind of terrifying yeah i i don't like that i don't think a lot of people should really be driving well i saw someone on his um his l's uh for a bike license um and i guess he had he's

not one of those people who's ridden dirt bikes before. Because if you've rode dirt bikes out in the country, that's a bit different. Then you at least know how to use a bike. This guy, I don't think, had even used a motorbike before. He was slowly riding along the footpath. Oh, my God. That's how little skill you need with a motorbike to get a bike license

you don't even need to know how to even fucking be able to ride it i was gonna say something cool though is like if you learn how to ride a bike properly um those skills can like transfer into learning how to drive manual which is cool i still don't know how to drive a manual it's made out to be so much more daunting than what it actually is like once you kind of just get the hang of like knowing how to change gears it's essentially just like you know practice over time um just like getting smoother and smoother at it but i think um yeah i don't know why it's like made out to be so much harder than it is i think it's just like some elitism i guess like oh don't come join the fancy manual club even though you know manuals are getting very much phased out

yeah and but like well once we transition more into electric vehicles manuals won't exist because you there's no reason that a manual electric car would exist i mean yeah that that wouldn't but i still think manual cars will be around for a while still, just because they're always a cheaper option for second-hand purposes. For sure, yeah. Some car enthusiasts obviously like it a lot more. Well, yeah, there's always going to be those people. There's still people who are driving around 70s Camaros. Yeah, exactly.

Those people always exist exist whether they end up sticking around as like road vehicles though or they just stay as like track vehicles is another question though yeah i don't see why they wouldn't stay as road vehicles until like some policy comes through where it's like you have to have an electric car because you must have a self-driving vehicle and you were not allowed to manual drive no i remember when i was younger i was like like when i fucking hated the idea of driving i was like i just can't wait for everyone to have automatic self-driving cars and now i'm just like no no no no there are channels on YouTube that you can look up called, like, self-driving fails. Mm.

No. Well, I remember reading, like, the study and stuff, and, like, just the fact that, like, normal cars that are, like, have their electronics tied to, like, acceleration and braking. Like, the study proved that you can hack into those and like control people's brakes and shit i'm just like if that can happen then i don't want a self-driving car there was um one it was a pretty funny post from lewis rossman on youtube so he was he was going to he did he just got his license He was like, I'm going to go buy a Tesla. Because he kind of like rags on Teslas at how awful they are. Yeah. And in the test he had,

the Tesla detected the stop sign and then just drove straight through it. Like it showed him on the dash in the car like hey there's a stop sign here did nothing about it though no i don't like it this is like the area where my like is gonna come out like i would i think i prefer like some stupid person driving compared to like an automatic car until we get to like the point of skynet i don't want i don't want ai driving cars that sounds awful yeah it's it's gonna lead to problems like no matter what you do i think there's sort of two people in like the tech world there's the people who absolutely adore it because it's like the advancement of technology and there's the realists out there like us where

it's just like no this is gonna kill people very quickly i guess like also the problem is like the amount of lawsuits and stuff that would stem from that because like there's something that's inevitably going to go wrong like you can't have a perfect self-driving car like that is just living in a too idealistic world i think and it's like eventually something's going to go wrong and just like i wonder how many people are going to get fucked over because they're going to be like, no, see, like, we did the test on the car, right? So, like, legally we're protected and it's actually that person's fault for being alive. No, that's...

Okay, the way Tesla's sort of getting around these lawsuits, because there are going to be lawsuits, is they specifically say while you're using self-driving mode, you must have your hands on the wheel at all times. Yeah. It just defeats the purpose, though. It's kind of just redundant. Because, yeah, if you are in a self-driving car, it's going to have to have a manual override.

Just because your instincts are going to kick in if something like that happens and it's like well if you're already going to the effort then just drive the fucking car there are there are okay so the way basically it checks is it checks for like hands like actually being on the wheel there have been people who've made these uh additions to the tesla which they can't advertise as being hands-free self-driving because tesla will like soothe them into the ground but there are people who've actually made things you can attach to your steering wheel that will think there's hands on it and they'll like go down the highway with just the self-driving mode on it's's like, nope, not happening.

Like, literally asleep at the wheel, letting the car drive itself. No, I don't like it. That sounds like a quick way to die. Okay, the only way that self-driving cars could function is if every single car is self-driving. Yeah, but that's not really gonna happen yeah i have heard people make the arguments that also the argument that um i think by like 20 20 40 i think the number is that 90 of the cars on the road will be electric cars it's like are going to buy me a new car? Yeah, that's exactly the problem.

You can't just give away cars for people to have. And the second-hand market for electric cars is kind of difficult because of the battery reductions. Okay. So I wouldn't have even considered something like that. Lithium batteries, over time, they lose how much they can actually hold. Yeah. And yeah, the same holds true

for your electric vehicle as well. I mean, like, it definitely it's definitely going to happen at some point, I just don't know the timeline of it. Yeah. I think 2040's a bit too, uh, a bit too, what's the word?

Optimistic? Optimistic. Yes, that one. Thank you. A bit too optimistic. But yeah, you're right. It will happen someday. Maybe like 2100

is a more realistic, realistic number. Yeah, maybe. But like but like I mean you also have to consider like how fast technology grows and stuff but at the same time yeah this is really hard to know

well you sort of have to consider that most people are driving cars from at least like 5 plus years ago wait what? oh okay no no no most people are driving cars from five plus years ago so in in 2040 people would be driving cars from at at the earliest obviously we'll have people who buy new cars but most people will have cars from at at the earliest like 2035 yeah my car is like almost 20 years old mine is from 2003 so I'm in the same boat

yeah mine's 2004 I'm getting close to wanting to replace it because there's been the issues are not getting better my passenger side mirror is held on by duct tape now replace it because there's been the issues are not getting better. My passenger side mirror is held on by duct tape now.

Oh, excellent. Yeah, I kind of need to replace the vehicle. That would probably be a good idea. Don't know what I'll replace it with. No idea. I know mine's going to last for a while because I don't know if I've talked about it but i got

given it by my grandparents because they didn't want to use it anymore and they were just gonna sell it and they're like here you go but it had like when when they gave it to me it had 20 000 kilometers on it so it was basically just this brand new car from 2004 and it's still it feels like it yeah it drives super good and so like if i take care of it which is not hard it's gonna last me like a very long time fuck that's a that's great um my mom's kind of been looking for some uh people up in the riverland who have cars like that because they like she does uh aged care so there's gonna be people who are like oh i have this car i bought in a new car in 2020 that has like 5 000 k's on it because i just used it to drive from my house to woollies 5k's down the road. Exactly.

Fuck, that's lucky. Because my car when I bought it, I think it had one... 130, I think? Now it's at 160. Yeah. Oh, Lord. Uh... Oh lord. Oh, here's an odd looking game. It's an odd looking game.

It actually looks cool. This is a game called Vintage Story. The article doesn't really show what the game looks like, but go to the Humble Store page. Is there a link on it? Should be a link down the bottom. Oh, they took down the Humble Store page link. Okay. Go to the

official site. But. Yes. Why does this look like... the website looks very janky. Have a look at the game itself though. Yeah, it definitely does look just like a Minecraft mod. Do you want to know the funny part? It actually did just like a Minecraft mod. Do you want to know the funny part? It actually did start as a Minecraft mod. That would not surprise me.

So basically, they wanted to, I guess, expand out to do more than Minecraft is actually capable of. And now we have this thing. It actually does look kind of cool, though. I kind of want to play it. Yeah, I think it does like actually look cool, but it still just looks like Minecraft. It does look like Minecraft. I initially thought it was just gonna be like a clone of the Minecraft art style, but the fact that it started as the Minecraft mod does make a lot more sense. Yeah.

I don't know. I'll probably check it out. It's only 18 USD. Have you ever heard of Cube World? Oh, yes. I love Cube World. I wonder how that's going. I wonder. That's on Steam now, what the hell? Oh, so it's going then.

Uh, Q-Pod on Steam. I guess it... Stop playing the audio. I literally muted the audio. I... The audio is muted. Stop playing the damn audio. literally muted the audio. The audio is muted. Stop playing the damn audio. By the looks of it, it's still just like being made by the dude just how slowly. It's apparently

got mixed reviews. Yeah, it's just people complaining that the dev is just taking a long time. Hmm. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. There's someone who gave it a positive review saying, please come back.

And this negative review is basically complaining about the exact same thing. Wait, why the hell The thing is, like, the dude that was making it got so pressured. Like, because he was making it and, like, because he was he was making it and like doing videos about like his game that he's making and he got so pressured to release it and so like

he did and probably also wanted to make like a bit of extra money and like you know he's developing it at his own rate and so like people just, people just got mad that, you know, they knew they were buying this game that was going to still take a long, long time. Mm-hmm. But, I don't know. Yeah, I do feel bad for the dev, because this looked like a really cool game

when it was first announced, but... Yeah. I wish he kind of just didn't announce it. Yeah. I mean, when I played it, I bought it when it first got released, just on his website. And even though it was really kind of bare bones,

it was still super fun to just play with friends. So there's obviously a great game there. It's just, you know, I think people just need to calm the fuck down. Yeah. Don't expect that to happen, though. People do be

being people. That's the only way I can put it. People do be grumpy. Exactly. Oh, Lord. I want to play it again at some point. When it eventually comes out. Give it like another three or so years and it'll be good.

I reckon. Yes. I'm sorry, I'm just looking at his twitter oh are you okay he hasn't tweeted anything since 2019 but like okay to be honest you could at least update your twitter

he's probably just depressed and doesn't want to like post anything maybe the game has actually been abandoned now i mean wouldn't surprise me oh his personal twitter so that's his uh his wife's twitter account his wife's twitter account was last posted on five years ago. I wonder if she even works on the project anymore. Maybe. That's a good question. I don't know. Maybe that's why the development stopped.

That's possible. Yeah, we'll probably hear about it again in like another two years. And then the same thing will happen again. Ah, patch came out. Well, okay. Gonna go work on some other stuff for a while now. I get it. Game design is very hard.

And making an indie game like this is going to take a really long time. Yeah. But I still wish that it was never actually released in the state it was. Or if it was, just make it very clear that it was like very... Oh, I guess it was kind of clear that it was an alpha when it first came out, wasn't it? Initially it was, but I can understand why some people might be mad about the Steam release because that doesn't say that it's like an alpha or anything. That's fair.

Yeah, I can see that being a problem. Hmm. I don't know. People being people. People do be people, though. Oh, another game that I have been looking at, one that is still very much like a beta, but actually is really good in the state that it's currently in,

is Valheim. Have you heard much about that one? I don't think so. Valheim is basically like a... You're a Viking who has died, and you'd be sent to, like, Viking heaven. I don't know what Viking heaven's called, but... Um... I... Why is it... sent to, like, Viking heaven, I don't know what Viking heaven's called, but, um, I, why

is it, okay, there we go, paste the link, there you go, um, the art style, it's very, very minimal art style, like, the game kind of, objectively looked kind of awful in places, objectively look kind of awful in places, but I think the style works for it. So, a brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players set in a procedurally generated purgatory inspired by Viking culture, battle, build and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin's patronage. It is a really cool looking game. I'm just like... I'm always just wary of when I hear

procedurally generated unless it's like Minecraft. In this case though, it seems like it's done fairly well. And when you start the game, you pretty much start with nothing, but as it progresses you like build up a town and uh you can like get a boat and go to other islands in your world and the world they have is quite large but procedurally generated yeah it um has its has its worries yeah seems like all these reviews seem like legitimately good

like everyone's kind of played a shit ton of it yeah it's cool I haven't played it just yet I want to do it on stream a lot of people are saying that it's a really good

multiplayer game but apparently the single player is still actually fairly playable. It's just that at a point when you're sort of like trying to get more resources, it's going to get a little bit grindy in places, which kind of makes sense. You got like 10 different series going on in your gaming channel. I know. I know. I sort of just play whatever I want to play.

Surely you're going to be playing some... Wait, I saw this game. No, where is it? Surely you're just playing Honeypop 2. Come on. That game's banned on Twitch so no wow that's rude i have played a little bit of the first honey pop game you know it's it's bejeweled with anime waifus yeah when are you playing factorio then

you're the only one who bothers me about factorio then? you're not the only one who bothers me about factorio I wouldn't actually expect you to play it there's a lot of people who do want me to play it oh well I guess you're just going to have to play it then I guess so at some point I'll have to play it I don't know what that like how the hell the game works, but maybe I can be super big brain and work this game out. Yeah, it's just a whole game about logistics.

That does not sound fun at all. You'd be surprised, but if you get into it... I remember the first time I played it, I was like, oh, yeah, this is kind of cool. And I think I played it for, like, six hours straight without realizing. Oh, Jesus. Like, it's just super cool. But, I mean, the first time you build anything, it's probably going to, like, be fucking awful. Because you won't take into consideration

the amount of stuff that you actually are doing. But, you know, you kind of get the hang of it and it's really cool. Okay, I'll try it out, I guess. I probably won't buy it for a price. It's so expensive now. Yeah. I remember when it used to be like 20 bucks.

Oh, wow, they raised the price, did they? Yeah. Yeah. I remember when it used to be like $20. Oh wow, they raised the price, did they? Yeah. Hmm. It'll probably be on Steam sale. Um, I don't know because I'm pretty sure... I might have changed his mind, but I remember... Oh yeah, here you go.

Discount disclaimer. We don't have any plans to take part in a sale or to reduce the price for the foreseeable future really i remember that's like um because like i think i got it when it was in alpha or beta and it was cheaper than and the guy the guy was like look it's gonna this is the cheapest it's gonna be i'm never gonna put it on sale and it's only gonna get more expensive from here oh my god i've never heard a developer make that argument that's great yeah it's pretty weird but i mean it's definitely worth the money though because like if it is your kind of game it's like worth it and it's really

well made so well there is a free demo there so i guess that's sort of excusable yeah there you go you can play the demo let's see if that yeah i don't know if i enjoy that then i guess i can play it wonder if it discounts the soundtrack, or if it's just nothing ever gets discounted. The soundtrack is like... Unless he's changed it, I don't remember anything memorable from the soundtrack, so I don't know why he'd even want to buy it. But most game soundtracks are on Spotify.

Yeah. Or you would be better off buying it directly from the developer because like that way they actually get all the money from it instead of staying like nabbing away like 30 or whatever they take yeah that's fair at least not as bad as a youtube's cut in some cases like super chat cut is so so bad least not as bad as a youtube's cut in some cases like super chat cut is so so bad is it i have no idea what the fuck yeah it's awful like whenever i always tell people in streams don't send me super chats do it through stream labs it'll be so much cheaper i will get most of the money because stream labs i think they just take like i don't think they take any cut actually I think they just do whatever the cut

for like PayPal is yeah that's good yeah no YouTube is like absolutely fucked skeezy YouTube but they're like that with everything they take massive cuts of the ad

the like ad dollars which I get that makes sense but they'll take massive cuts of the ad the like ad dollars which I get that makes sense but they'll take massive cuts of memberships everything that goes through YouTube they will take massive cuts from yeah Google being greedy pretty much I don't expect anything different Google to be honest. Yeah, that is, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is blah, blah, blah. Oh, lord.

Fucking essay, bah. Essay. Okay. Speaking of, this isn't a segue. I found this Kickstarter. This Kickstarter's kind of cool. Kickstarter for RGB dice.

Okay. This was so far past its funding goal. Mm-hmm. 25 days to go. Their goal was $257,000 Australian. They're almost at $3 million because nerds love their dice, apparently. Yeah, people collect dice a lot.

Yeah, have you ever played any, like, tabletop RPGs? No, but I used to play a lot of Magic and that uses lots of dice. That makes sense. That's actually, like, a really cool Kickstarter, though. Yeah. I don't know how much they're going to sell them for. Wait.

How do you... Okay, so... You can't replace the battery but you charge it with like a sort of like an airpods charging case by the looks of it that's cool it like has like support to connect

to games like through electronic devices oh that's cool so like if you roll it the number will come up on the thing. That's pretty cool. $10.

Because you believe in it. Where do you actually get the fucking thing? Oh. $36. No, $39 USD. One die. That's not too no, $39 USD, one die. That's not too bad, to be honest, because have you seen how expensive some of the, like,

really expensive die sets get? Yeah, I have. There we go. One set is $200 USD, which is seven dice. Okay. And the charger and shit. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Okay, the charger as well, that's also going to add some price into it. Um, hmm. I don't remember how much I paid for my dice sets. I think they were like $40? Yeah, something like that. You- you- are you frozen in time? Sorry, I'm just like, I'm just looking through the campaign. Oh, okay, all good. And they're waterproof as well, that's nice.

Just in case you know you spilled your Mountain Dew on it Yeah It was like an actually good Kickstarter project And this is something that They've already made dice Basically the money Is funding

Marketing and production Yeah Because they have videos of these actually working already. And there's an app for it. By the looks of it, they've already made the app. Also, I guess the money's going into some of the app integration

stuff they want to do with other things. Yeah, that's... This is a good Kickstarter. the kickstarters that start with absolutely nothing and then like fund everything those are the ones where usually they they never get past like the ground stages yeah i really something i really miss is like when idubs would make kickstarter Kickstarter videos of just shitty Kickstarters. I really miss those. They were always good fun to watch.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of... There are some other channels that did those as well, but I think that's sort of fallen out of trend now. Yeah, which is strange because people still like to talk shit about stuff so I don't know why they would stop talking shit about Kickstarters. The cool trend now is buying stuff on Fiverr. Heirloom chili pepper subscription boxes. That's a Kickstarter that I've found. Send a link to it?

What the fuck? Why? Uh, here we go. Uh, wait, what? This is just bizarre. What? At Home Sweet Home Growing, we're addicted to making all things spicy And we're thrilled to bring the heat and flavour Of the world's rarest peppers

Directly from our farm to your door Wait so What are you paying for here Because they've already got a farm by the looks of it Okay They already had a kick early on, right? What are you kickstarting now? You've made the boxes.

You have an existing company. What are you kickstarting? I think they just kick... Like, I don't... I don't think it's like... I don't think it's like I don't think it's a subscription box I think it's just like

they do a new Kickstarter every year and then if you want it you can do it I think okay that's I've never seen anyone use Kickstarter like that I haven't either but that's kind of like a nifty way because it sort of puts you in the news cycle again doesn't it I haven't either, but that's kind of like a nifty way. Mmm.

Because it sort of puts you in the news cycle again, doesn't it? But you can still support the project and not get anything. So it's $10 US to get three chili peppers. Lovely. Okay, what's their highest here let's find out $1,500 and you get a private tour and field day at the farm okay okay okay they'll give you some baskets and you can take as many peppers as you want that's that's acceptable $1500? I hope so.

What'd you send me? The Plague and Doctor Kane. That's a really weird graphic novel. Scroll down to where it says, I'll look inside and just, like, see how fucking strange it looks. Oh god.

Um, that's a very specific art style. Uh-huh. I'm just gonna have to back this, obviously. How much have they made? They're gonna hit their goal, probably. This is bizarre.

Okay. That's cool. Hey, I'll respect you making your own book, that's cool. I don't get it, but it's cool. What is your highest tier? Oh, you've only got... Okay, well, the highest tier is only 120 pounds. So that'll give you a complete Plague Doctor package. Okay, well, the highest tier is only £120. So that'll give you a complete Plague Doctor package. The first edition hardback, an e-book, a bookmark, an A5 book plate,

postcard set, A4 art print, an exclusive Dr. Kame enamel pin. Okay. Please go get me that enamel pin. Yeah, man, the enamel pin. Yeah, man. The enamel pin is the most important part. Where's the risks? The booking rewards are ready to go to print.

All we need to make happen is your thing. Those aren't really risks, but sure. Wait, risks. Yeah, that's not a risk Oh, they've already done one before Okay, so they have had a successful Kickstarter

Okay That's always a good sign New independent publisher of graphic novels And illustrated books Okay That's cool That's acceptable New independent publisher of graphic novels and illustrated books. Okay. Okay. That's cool.

That's acceptable. Not kickstarting infinite power like I've seen before. I guess I'm just going to have to get my book published through this publisher. Maybe you should publish it through Kickstarter. Oh, please no. Let's see. I'm trying to find, like, a really bad one. Mm-hmm.

Just go to new. Yeah, I went to, like... Let's go to... I don't know, this is... I went to just launched, but... Project near you. Let's see what Scott. I don't know, this is... I went to just launched, but... Project near you, let's see what's near me. Let's go journalism. Oh nah, no no no, that's boring. We'll do games, there's always some fucking garbage game ones.

What is this? Oh my god, this is amazing. Why does, this is not a, this does not need to be a Kickstarter. And, they've made their goal. What the fuck? What is it? They've made a,

they've made a bit of string with a lanyard attached to it that has a cardholder on it. They just went to Officeworks and just bought something. What am I... $500,000. $500,000. ID card holder system. This already exists. You've made nothing.

Nothing. You've literally made nothing and you made $500,000 for it. Hey, at least they can't fail it. I love how they're showing this off as if it's some, like, crazy thing. It's just, like, an extendable lanyard. Built-in privacy feature,

because you can spin it around. It reduces the spread of germs. Durable and silent. Oh, my God. germs durable and silent oh my god ID card holder this is from melbourne as well yeah this is i i went um projects near me hey well they're surely going to be able to make it because they didn't need to make anything i'm gonna go projects near me as well. Where is it? Okay, there it is. Kickstarter. Yeah, okay, I really don't understand that one that you've sent though. That's like actually fucking stupid. Uh, let's see. Leonardo da Vinci drawing

tools. I did see that one. In Adelaide. Hell yeah. Wait, can you search? Someone is selling some 3D printed dart stems. That's cool. They needed $226. Oh, sorry. They needed $200. They got $226.

Okay. That's cool. I guess they wanted to buy a 3D printer. Oh, this is just for some fucking Photoshop and Procreate brushes. That's fine. Yeah. I don't see anything super bad on here. Embrace. The documentary

that will create global change. Hmm. We are filming in Australia, Canada and the USA. Next stop Germany. We need to reach our stretch target. Okay. Why are you showing me Hollow Knight?

That's already finished. Wait, what? Oh, the Hollow Knight Kickstarter, because the people that made it are Australian. Ah, yeah, that's actually a good game. I didn't know they were Aussies. That's cool. Yeah, I almost backed that, but, like, I

didn't... I don't really care that I didn't, but I'm just like, damn, that's, like, actually... Because I bought it after it came out. I was like, this is actually a fucking wicked game they're like they didn't even make that much money they only got

57k wait really? yeah wow that's that is so sad one of their stretch goals was being on the PS Vita. That would have been so good if it was. Wait, how old was this?

This is like from 2015. No, 2014, I think. That's why the Vita's on there. Okay, I was going to say, no one cares about the Vita now. Yeah, I want to have a great game well their games done really well so me it what's it on right now just on I think it's on it's on the ps4 I think as well okay I think it's on the switch too I was gonna say if it wasn't on the switch already they with how much money they've made so far, it would definitely get on there.

Okay, I found a good one. Pledge Girl was $300, so it's like, why don't we't you save up and then it has one oh my lord it has one tier a copy of the comic book delivered to your home that only has two backers so and it has eight backers total so who wait oh i know what they've done here.

Haha. I know exactly what they've done here. So they had a couple of backers, but they didn't have enough to actually reach their goal, so they put their own money into it. Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's great. This looks awful. This just does not look good.

I love the art. The art's beautiful. No. Pythagore gets... okay, we're just gonna stop looking. Yeah, they're not gonna get better. What a shame. At least it's not as bad as Indiegogo It's still pretty bad though Yeah

I don't know I guess it just depends on like Where you're looking On both of those websites Indiegogo lets you have Perpetual motion machines on there Yeah true Kickstarter will at least be like

No That's not a real thing. Stop that. Do not do this. Well, I want to go make some lunch at some point because I'm getting kind of hungry. Yeah, that's okay. I'm happy to wrap it up.

Cool. So for the people who haven't seen you before, where can they find you? My YouTube channel is CozHan, C-O-Z-H-A-N, and then everywhere else I'm just SuperCozMan. Yeah, okay, there we go, bring it up on the screen. Here we go. I think I showed it earlier anyway, but if you didn't see it then, there's the channel. Yeah.

I don't know what it's called The name rings a bell He just does like Let's plays I guess Remember when let's plays- back in my day, video game videos were called let's plays. Oh, let's plays. I still call stuff let's plays. I think people still understand it. I remember back in the day when you couldn't monetize those videos. Oh, those were the fun times.

Um, as for me, I'm going to say, check out, uh, check out Iron Mouse's channel because I am a trashy person who likes trashy VTubers. And Iron Mouse is, Iron Mouse is at the top of that list.
