Tech Over Tea - #65 Please Be Safe In The Market | Solo
Episode Date: May 26, 2021I've been watching how absolute insane the crypto space has been getting and it seems like no one is even thinking anymore, they're just chasing the gains, please be safe. Besides that I get into some... random anime junk and how absolutely insane 1 trillion dollars really is. ==========Support The Channel========== ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson ► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo ► Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF ► Other Methods: https://cointr.ee/brodierobertson =========Video Platforms========== 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBq5p-xOla8xhnrbhu8AIAg =========Audio Release========= 🎵 RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/149fd51c/podcast/rss 🎵 Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tech-over-tea/id1501727953 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3IfFpfzlLo7OPsEnl4gbdM 🎵 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xNDlmZDUxYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== 🎵 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/tech-over-tea ==========Social Media========== 🎤 Discord:https://discord.gg/PkMRVn9 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TechOverTeaShow 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/techovertea/ 🌐 Mastodon:https://mastodon.social/web/accounts/1093345 ==========Credits========== 🎨 Channel Art: All my art has was created by Supercozman https://twitter.com/Supercozman https://www.instagram.com/supercozman_draws/ DISCLOSURE: Wherever possible I use referral links, which means if you click one of the links in this video or description and make a purchase we may receive a small commission or other compensation.

Good morning, good day, good evening. I am, as always, your host, Brodie Robertson.
I just thought my thing didn't start recording.
This is episode 65. I am, as always, a massive professional.
And every single day, we become closer and closer to the Ha Ha Funny meme number.
You know, that joke would have been better if I didn't just completely stumble over my words.
We are four, I guess, four episodes after this one. Five if you include this one.
Four or five episodes away from episode 69.
Now, I don't know who I'm going to have on for episode 69.
I'm going to obviously have to have a guest on of some description.
Maybe, maybe I'll bring HexDSL on.
I think he'd be up for a Ha Ha Funny meme number episode.
Maybe, we'll see.
I'll work it out with him.
If I did that, I would have to do like a another really early morning recording which it would be fine i could make it
work like now that i've shifted my schedule around and actually have a schedule that i
am comfortable working with i could definitely get that done somehow it's just a matter of if i want
to i have a couple other people i could bring on, but I think Hex might be the best person for that.
Because I think he would very much
be up for playing into the joke, like, as
much as possible, really.
And that's exactly, that is
exactly what I want from
an episode like that. So we've
got a lot of things on my list
of topics today.
I was going to say I could show you the list,
but I'm always just capturing my
browser and I don't feel like actually breaking my scenes during the middle of a recording. So
we are not going to be changing that right now. But trust me, we do have a lot of things to talk
about. Probably too many things, most of which we won't actually get into. One thing I do want
to get into though, we'll get into this straight away because this happened today for me
it'll be like, I bet a week ago for you
guys, the end of my
Crystar stream
the end of my previous Crystar stream
so not the stream that you would be seeing
if you're watching this on YouTube
the day this comes out
the one the week before
I think it was titled something like Mirai
is dead, just keep her dead already so what happened is this stream I think was my
longest livestream so far so I didn't realize this game autosaves and because
I didn't realize it autosaved when I got into a situation where there wasn't a
save point for nearly two hours I just kept playing and playing and playing and
playing now if you know what I've
been doing in the Crystar stream, basically, I went through the first playthrough, then I went
through New Game Plus, now I'm in New Game Plus Plus, now I'm in, I guess, it's not New Game Plus
Plus Plus, it's like, after you finish New Game Plus Plus, you get another chapter afterwards.
And we're in that chapter now. The problem that we have
with this third playthrough
is it decides that it wants to
basically break the entire story of the game
and then end the entire game
with a boss rush.
Now, if you don't know what a boss rush is,
a boss rush is basically it's where
you don't have any other gameplay.
It's just boss boss boss boss boss.
And just keep going through bosses.
Until the game feels like giving up.
And doing something else.
So.
The problem.
I don't think anyone cares about Crystar spoilers.
So initially the final boss.
Which I thought was the actual final boss.
Would have made sense.
It wouldn't have made sense because they retconned the story, but
it would have made sense to end it there.
So we had a boss fight with
one of our party members, Sen.
I don't know why we had a boss
fight with Sen. For some reason, she decided
she wants to fight us. Like, there was
some sort of plot
explanation for why that happened, but it didn't
make any sense whatsoever.
It felt like they were just basically coming up with story elements.
And then just chucking them at the wall.
And just seeing what one actually stuck.
And we just got this absolute train wreck of a story because of it.
So Sen became not evil.
I guess for some...
Yeah, she wanted to kill us.
Anyway, we defeated Sen.
Wasn't too difficult of a boss fight.
Then after that-
Oh, no, sorry.
Before that, there was a different boss fight.
I think we had to-
What was it?
Who did we fight before that?
Oh, sorry.
There was, like, a mini boss before that.
And then there was the actual final boss.
Then after that, it's like, hey, now you're gonna fight your sister, and now you're
gonna fight, uh, who was it? So we had, we fought our sister, who's dead. Just don't, don't question
the story. Um, we're in purgatory. Everyone's dead. Just accept it. So we have a sister, a twin sister,
who died in the womb, who, then we have to fight as the who i thought was the final boss turns out
there's another boss directly after that and all that's separating that is cut scenes and you don't
have a chance to get more healing items so basically you are burning through your healing
items throughout these fights and the fights are really poorly designed where there's basically no
telegraphing for the attack so there's so many attacks in that game. Which are basically impossible to dodge.
Like there's no wind up.
There's no like hey here's a particle effect to tell you the attack's going to happen.
No.
The attack just happens and you get hit.
So there was that boss fight.
Then there was another boss fight after that.
I think this was the third boss fight in a row.
And when I got to that boss fight I was like okay.
If this boss is not defeated in the cutscene, I am just stopping.
I'm quitting the game.
I'm just done with this stream.
Because I was four and a half hours into that point.
I was just getting sick of playing it.
It was like, kill the boss in the damn cutscene.
Nope.
Nope.
Time for more boss rush.
We have another boss fight.
Then I went and looked at like how the game actually ends.
Turns out there's another two boss fights in this boss run.
I don't know if there's going to be a point to like get some healing items
or if we somehow have to get through the rest of the game without any items.
I don't know what the deal is.
It's so poorly designed.
I think I'm like 40 hours into this game at this point.
Really, the only reason I'm still playing it is out of sheer habit.
I think next stream,
if I might do another Crystar stream,
I don't know.
I'm really emptied to not
and just go play something else.
I want to go and start streaming something
like Kingdom Hearts or Cyberdimension Neptunia,
Nier Automata,
games that I know are actually good games.
I haven't decided on which
one I'm going to go with yet, but once Crystar
is done, I will absolutely
be swapping to something else.
But it feels like
every single time I try to
stream this game,
it's just never ending.
It's just always going.
I felt like it
was going to end after the first playthrough.
Then it's like, oh yeah, time loop time.
It's like, okay, that's fine.
One time loop's good.
Time loop time again, now it's New Game++.
I think we're actually at the
real final ending now.
Which is nice.
Because, yeah,
this is one of those games that...
It really feels like it's overstayed its welcome.
Especially during this boss run.
It's just like, I thought I'd fought the final boss like three times already.
Can we just end this stupid boss fight?
Can we stop this boss run?
These are not well-designed boss fights.
This isn't fun anymore.
This game has really overstayed its welcome.
And the story is just
making less and less sense every single time.
So for some reason,
we need to collect, like, time loops
to, like, defeat the demons
who contracted us to work in Purgatory.
I don't understand why.
It was never explained why that was a thing.
It's just like, oh yeah, time loops
happened, you collect time loops now.
Like what?
What are you talking about?
This entire game, we've been collecting souls.
Why are we now collecting time loops?
What is this video game?
I don't understand it.
JRPGs are generally weird enough.
Take Kingdom Hearts, for example, where the time travel system in that game underpins
the entire story and makes literally no sense.
But in the case of
Kingdom Hearts, at least the
general Kingdom Hearts-y stuff
is fun. Crystar, it was
a mediocre game at the best
of times, and now it's just like,
I don't even know if I want to keep
playing it. That's where
I'm at right now. I really don't know
if I want to keep suffering it. That's where I'm at right now. It's just like, I really don't know if I want to keep suffering through this game, but it should only take me like maybe another
hour or so to finish the game. So I'm really tempted to just like maybe do it in tomorrow's
stream and like my Dead Cells stream, or maybe do it next week and just finish it off then.
If I do it next week, I'm not just going to do an hour stream.
What I'll probably end up doing is starting as a
Crystar stream and then, I don't know,
maybe playing something like Hades
or something afterwards. Something that's a good game.
Maybe I'll start Binding of Isaac.
Maybe I'll go do some more Tasmanian Tiger.
Something else.
Just literally anything else. I know
that I could have stopped playing this game ages ago.
But a part of
my brain i like i have a minor completionist brain i'm not the sort of person who's like i want to
get every achievement but if you put a story in front of me and it's like hey you should probably
go finish this story i'm like do i want to though but like even though i could go watch the story
on the internet i could watch on youtube i do i want to finish this story myself and yeah it's that it's that part of my brain that gets
addicted to things like hey you like cycling now hey you like programming now do nothing but that
for like six months and it's a part of my brain to try to channel on helpful things so i don't
get into like the um the same sort of
runescape grind I got into when I was a kid where it's just like I played runescape for
six years six years I'm gonna say uh yeah probably too long that's how long I played it for
I played it from like 2007 up until the rs3 beta so whatever that works out to be. And I just try to put that part of my brain towards good things,
like my YouTube channel, or studying Japanese,
or not playing Christ.
One thing with the PS4 streaming, though,
I can do PS4 streaming currently.
I've got a hacky setup to do it.
It's with some of those really sketchy eBay items I bought previously.
Where I bought a...
Or I was telling you about guys previously.
Telling you about previously.
Where I bought a HDMI splitter.
Those old...
What were they?
The Elgato Cam Link ripoffs.
And it works.
It's just there's a bit of lag in it.
And especially I can deal with
lag for you guys i don't care what you guys you guys didn't accept it but for me if i'm playing
a game i want it to not be lagging on my side and to do that i'm going to be replacing the entire
setup with one device the ava media live what's the ava media live gamer portable 2 plus is that
what it's called ava media is never good at naming stuff.
Ava Media Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus.
I got the name right.
It does 4K pass-through.
Not a big deal for me.
If I eventually get myself a PS5, it might be important then.
A PS5 and a 4K monitor might be important then.
But it does 1080p recording.
So, yeah.
Uh, that's gonna be how I end up capturing that.
That'll just go, like, into my PC and just work like that.
It should be fine.
It is, uh, this device right here.
They're not that expensive either.
I think that this was, like, $100 and...
$170 or so
how much did I pay for it
let's find out
more than my
original set, more than my hacky setup
I had before but it was like
$40, oh sorry okay
I spent $211
a bit more, okay it's $200
plus $11 shipping, sure
anyway, that's basically how much I spend it's
gonna hopefully um hopefully be better if it's not better I'll feel really bad I'll feel really
bad if I wasted $200 on trying to improve my setup and it doing literally nothing
literally nothing whatsoever but I can hope I can hope that it's not like that and
it actually does fix my problems i did test out what do they use to test out i was playing jack
x yeah jack x is just a great game i bought it on like the playstation digital store uh like years
ago and cyber dimension neptune and both of them for some reason would occasionally stutter and I know
those games don't stutter when
I'm playing them like on
the actual console plugged directly into my monitor
so there was clearly some weird
stuttering being caused by the
um
weird setup that I have which is expected
because when you buy a $10
HDMI splitter
I wouldn't expect the best experience all the time.
Yeah.
My side was bad enough.
It was even worse capturing in OBS.
Plus it had like a really big audio delay.
I can deal with occasional stutters,
but the audio was like,
I think half a second out,
which really threw me off.
Like I would say, you know, use my boost in jack x and then half
a second later i would hear the boost happen or i would get someone like shooting at me and a half
second later i would hear the shooting and that's just not a workable way of playing it's bad enough
in jack x but in games where like sound actually matters it just wouldn't wouldn't work at all so
getting rid of that is probably
for the best. Plus the...
Well, part of the reason why there was the
big delay is because I was listening to the
audio on
my
OBS monitor.
So I was monitoring it through my PC.
So there was the delay from the capture
card, or from the splitter,
and then the delay from OBS, so it's like double delay,
which is what was throwing me off.
The pass-through on the AvaMedia, though, that does...
I think you can capture, or you can plug your microphone,
not microphone, your headphones directly into the capture card
and then monitor from the capture card,
so it should be far, far less lag.
There might still be a little bit
but it would be in the
level of tolerance
where you could actually functionally play a game
not what it was before
not what it was before
which is uh
shit, shit is a good way to put it
yeah
speaking of things that are
not shit, yeah we'll speaking of things that are not shit
yeah, we'll go with not shit
questionably shit
meet 76ers
meet System76's first
mechanical keyboard
System76 are those guys who make
Linux laptops
that run Pop!OS
if you have never heard of them
but you've probably heard of them if you
do anything relating to
the
Linux-y world.
Even if you don't care about Pop!OS
or their devices. Now, this
is an interesting
keyboard
that is
has a horrible, possibly
the worst design space bar on the entire planet.
Plus...
Oh, okay.
When I looked at this keyboard, I didn't realize how much I hated it.
I actually hate this more...
The more that I look at this thing, the more that I actually hate it.
Oh, God.
Okay.
So, for anyone listening to the audio version,
generally it looks like a keyboard.
It's a, um, 10... Is it 10 keyless?
It doesn't have a number pad.
It doesn't have a number pad.
Anyway, whatever you call those keyboards,
don't have number pads.
You have to look at this thing.
It's so weirdly laid out.
So, the escape and function keys those are fine nothing weird
there number line perfectly fine tab um tab through backslash perfectly fine where it gets
weird is the line with caps lock on it where caps lock is offset so usually usually my voice is
awful today
usually what you'll see is like your tab caps lock shift and control key
will like all be in a line
that's a normal thing for a keyboard
in this case though
the caps lock shift and control are like slightly pushed inwards
I don't understand
so like they're not in line with the tab, the tilde and the escape
they're actually like slightly in
like in further on the keyboard which is
so weird to look at
plus then you've got your enter key
so the enter key
is also pushed in
but it's also like
a smaller enter key like it could have
been expanded out to be the length of it
a normal enter key but it's not could have been expanded out to be the length of a normal enter key,
but it's not. There's just, like, a weird gap there.
I don't understand this gap. Why
is that gap there? And then,
because, um,
because it doesn't have a number pad,
it's also had to put, like, the, uh,
the arrow keys, like,
right next to the, uh, right shift,
and the right shift is then also
shorter than it should be as well.
And also pushed in really far.
Like pushed in even further than the enter key.
It's so weird to look at.
I don't know what this keyboard is.
And then you have the biggest offender of all.
I see why they've done it.
But the biggest offender of all is having a split space bar.
It doesn't have one long space bar. It doesn't have one long
space bar. It has two space
bar keys. And then you can go and
replace those keys with
a shift or a backspace
or a function. Why would you
replace it with a function key? That's weird.
I don't understand.
But yeah, you can replace it with a bunch of keys.
That's so
strange.
So if you replace the... If you replace the left side of the space bar, you...
I don't understand this.
So if you're not looking at the image,
look at your keyboard,
take your space bar and split it in half.
Because most keyboards have two switches under their space bar,
but most of the time they're both on the same key this takes those two um two switches and puts them on separate keys
so weird to look at i've never seen a keyboard like this uh and then it's also going to be
accompanied with um with a uh mapping software so you can go and remap those keys.
You want to go and remap literally any key on the keyboard.
Now, that I actually do see as something pretty useful.
Now, there are other keyboards you can very easily remap.
But this does have its own special remapping software
to do whatever special things it can do.
I don't know.
It also has RGB, because why not?
But all of this keyboard is really cool.
Until you get to the price.
So this is a keyboard that is manufactured in the US, which obviously makes
it expensive. $285. So it is a 84-key semi-staggered layout. Also, wait, what? It has a 10 gigabit USB hub.
So it's not... Also, with the firmware, it's not running QMK.
It's running a firmware based on QMK.
I'm guessing that's why they have their own software.
Huh.
But anyway.
I don't understand this semi-staggered layout.
Why is the enter key so small?
Why don't you extend the keys to where they should be located?
I would get it if you're trying to save some space,
but there's nothing but room here.
It's literally just empty space here,
and you've made the caps lock shift and control
shorter than they need to be.
I don't understand why.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
It's so weird to look at.
Also, something that someone pointed out to me is,
why doesn't it have a...
What are the ThinkPad people call it?
The nipple.
Why doesn't it have a track point nipple?
That would actually be pretty cool.
I think if you put that on there that actually would justify the price i don't know if uh lenovo has a patent on that they very well might but if
they don't that actually would be really cool here and actually could see people buying this
but i don't know who's buying this keyboard otherwise it's a 285 84 key keyboard with qmk software like if you're spending that kind of
money that's the range and like this is such a a customizable keyboard that you would go and build
your own keyboard like that that's what this range is i i don't understand who this is for
sure the 10 gigabit usb hub is useful but like it's not it's not that useful it's a wired
keyboard i don't know why this is a feature that's uh that's not a feature that's like standard
i'm sure this um this split space bar appeals to somebody i'm just not the person that appeals to
plus i do like my um my numpad that that's a big thing for me. I love my numpad and not having my numpad would be a big pain for me.
What I need to do is get a QMK keyboard and just remap the numpad to be like useful keys
so they don't break all my other stuff, but...
I don't know.
It's such an odd keyboard to look at.
I wouldn't pay...
Well, in Australia it's not gonna be $285. It's gonna be like keyboard to look at. I wouldn't pay... In Australia, it's not going to be $285.
It's going to be close to $400.
It's not my sort of thing.
I'm sure someone cares about it, but...
It does have a bunch of...
Okay, so when I said the USB hub,
it has two USB-A 3...
I guess they're 3.1 ports.
They would probably be.
And then USB-C ports as well.
Like, that's cool.
It's all cool and all that.
But I just, I just don't, I don't understand the point.
I don't know.
To be fair, my keyboard, in case you don't know, I've shown it off enough times, is a
Cougar Vantor, which I believe is $70.
I bought it because
it's a scissor switch keyboard, and scissor switch
keyboards are objectively the best switch.
I don't care what anyone has to say.
Get out of here, you mechanical scrubs.
I don't care about your opinion.
I don't know. It's an interesting keyboard.
I just don't get it. I don't
get who this appeals to at that price point. If it was $200, I could't know. It's an interesting keyboard. I just don't get it. I don't get who this appeals to at that price point.
If it was $200, I could see it.
$200 would actually be more reasonable, but almost $300 is where you're building your own keyboard.
No one spending $300 on a keyboard is buying something pre-built.
At least in my mind. Maybe I'm wrong. I could be wrong.
I don't know. I'm just ranting.
But it is
built in America, and if that's what you want to
support, maybe that's why you want to buy it.
Still too much for me, though.
Still very much for me.
Even if it was built in Australia,
I still wouldn't pay that much at all.
Speaking of paying too much, though,
I hope you guys have been looking at the
crypto market and like the absolute
fucking carnage that's been
happening it's probably still happening by the
time this goes up I don't expect
to have recovered yet I
I'm just
oh the crypto market is so
so good right now so
in case you're living under a rock
um apparently the crypto market is just controlled good right now. So, in case you're living under a rock, apparently
the crypto market is just controlled
by Elon Musk's Twitter.
Like,
past seven days, when
Elon started to say that, hey,
Bitcoin may not be that great,
Bitcoin
dropped 20%.
Which, for the record,
is a lot of money., is a lot of money.
Like, a lot of money.
And because Bitcoin dropped, everything else dropped.
Except Dogecoin. Dogecoin actually held out pretty well.
Because Dogecoin is Elon's new baby.
Dogecoin is where Elon thinks the future should go.
Except not really, because
if you think, okay,
if you think that Elon
is on your side,
you are the dumbest person on the planet.
Have you forgotten that Elon
is a billionaire?
That's not to say that all billionaires are bad,
but have you forgotten that Elon is a
billionaire? He's not here to help the little man. Sure, that's not to say that all billionaires are bad, but have you forgotten that Elon is a billionaire?
He's not here to help the little man.
Sure, he's gonna, like, not take a massive salary for his job.
That just looks good for PR.
Sure, he's gonna boost up Bitcoin.
Do you know why he boosted up Bitcoin?
Any, all of you, all of you absolute brainlets who think that Elon was on your side from the start,
and even the people who think that Elon is on your side from the start and even the people who think that Elon
was on your side with Dogecoin. You are all
absolutely being
played right now.
All of you are
incredibly dumb and you're all going to
absolutely get yourself hurt from this.
So, do you know why Elon
was pushing Bitcoin?
Because he bought Bitcoin.
It's so obvious to watch what Elon's doing from the outside. He is manipulating the market and nobody seems to care until he's not manipulating
the market in your favor. So Tesla announced like, hey, we're going to accept Bitcoin now.
Do you know what Tesla did before they did that?
And do you know what Elon did before he did that?
He bought Bitcoin.
And then he shot the price up.
And do you know what happened when he decided the price had gone high enough?
He sold.
And then he tweeted saying, hey, look, Dogecoin is the future.
Do you know what he did before Dogecoin was the future, though?
He bought Dogecoin.
It's so obvious.
And it's going to happen again.
Like, sure, he's pumping the price of Dogecoin right now.
But he's going to sell it soon.
And he's going to go to something else.
Because all he's doing is manipulating the market.
Allegedly.
This is all allegedly.
But it's so fucking obvious.
I don't know how there are actually people out there.
Who think that Elon is the saviour of crypto.
Or the saviour of Dogecoin.
Or he's going to help us all become millionaires.
No he's not.
That's not happening at all.
All he's doing is trying to make himself rich.
Now that's not to say that you can't make
some money, you know, following the trends. I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't do that.
I am not a financial expert. But if you think that he's on your side, you are absolutely being played.
Like, I feel so bad for, like, all of the new investors who have been seeing all the hype around Elon and, like, the time he was on SNL and all this other stuff.
Thinking that, oh, Elon's going to make me a millionaire.
Like, no, he's not.
That's not happening.
Anyone who got involved in crypto in the past, like, month, I feel bad for you because you've been scammed you've been scammed by all
of the crypto tubers who think this bubble is going to just keep going up and up we're going
to go to the moon to the moon to the moon everyone's going to be a billionaire that's not
how the economy works that is that just cannot function like look at this okay if you think
that this is not a bubble oh you can't even see it okay we try okay? If you think that this is not a bubble,
oh, you can't even see it.
Okay, we'll try that again.
If you think that what's been happening over the past year
is not a bubble,
you are absolutely insane.
Sure, you can manipulate your numbers
to make it look like, oh, Bitcoin always goes up.
And generally, yes, Bitcoin does go up.
But when it has a bubble like this, it will
go back down. It's just how
the economy corrects itself.
Especially when your entire market
is controlled by a dude on
Twitter.
But hey, if you bought down here, and you
sold up here, like, you're in a good position.
Um.
I don't feel bad for the Crypt tubers who've been scamming people any of the crypto tubers
who have been like hyping up bitcoin saying oh it's going to go to a hundred thousand dollars
it's going to go a hundred thousand dollars I'm going to be a billionaire I'm going to be a
millionaire and then it crashes and you lose like 50% of your investment in one day, all of you deserved it.
All of you deserved it for trying to convince all your followers to dump their life savings
into crypto.
Sure, you can be like, oh, but I'm not a financial expert.
Take my advice with a grain of salt.
You know that that's not what you're doing.
You're saying that because you need to say that so you don't get sued by the SEC.
That's why you're saying that. Not because
you actually believe that.
I'm sure there are good
crypto-tubers out there who are
actually trying to help people out, but
there are so many people
out there who are just absolutely
running a scam and openly
running a scam knowing that people are going
to fall for it.
And that's not even, that's without even getting into people who are actually doing things like,
hey, I'm going to double your Bitcoin. Ignoring those people, just the people who think like,
you know, what SafeMoon, SafeMoon is the big meme right now. That's the one that everyone's like,
oh yeah, SafeMoon, go to the moon. SafeMoon, SafeMoon, it's such a real, it's a real project.
No, SafeMoon isn't, no, that's not, anything with safe in moon it's such a real it's a real project like no safe moon
isn't no that's not anything with safe in its name is not a real thing let's go safe moon what's safe
moon doing right now wow it crashed who would have thought oh look at this this is not a bubble
this is not a bubble at all this coin has existed for two months If you're putting your money in this, you are stupid. Like, look at this,
okay? Started at nothing. Oh, it mooned like everything else did, and it came crashing back
down, and it's gonna keep coming crashing back down, because the second this bull market ends,
SafeMoon is not gonna have any value whatsoever, because there's nothing backing this project.
There is no, like, technology they're trying to build. There's no like, oh, we're trying to build
decentralized video. We're trying to build decentralized contracts. We're trying to
make even crypto games, even something like that. There's nothing here. It's just, oh,
it's going to go to the moon. When the ball runs over, it's not going anywhere. It's going to zero.
And anyone who has their money left in this
is going to be an absolute chump.
Do not be left holding the bag at the end.
I don't care if you think that like,
you're going to become a billionaire from this.
You're not.
It's just not going to happen.
Just be sensible.
Like, I get the like appeal of trying to,
you know,
trying to gamble your money away
and actually make
millions of dollars.
These
crypto YouTubers are selling you a dream that is
not going to happen. Because all of them
already have their money in there
before they tell you anything. It's the same
thing with Elon. It's the same thing with the crypto
YouTubers. All of them have their money
in the coin before they tell you anything.
And before they tell you to sell, they have already sold.
That's just how this works.
Actually, if you want a good channel to watch about how just ridiculous this nonsense is,
I highly, highly recommend going and watching CoffeeZilla.
CoffeeZilla is an absolutely amazing
channel.
This guy, as seen on Netflix.
Yeah, I love that.
He's been doing some absolutely amazing videos
recently. Did a video on DogeTubers.
Doge! Doge to $5!
No, Doge not going to $5.
He's stupid.
In this video,
he showed how stupid
the market would be if Doge
went to $5. If Doge went to $5,
it would be worth more than the market
cap of every single coin.
Like, literally every other coin,
it would be worth more than, which is
Doge. It's not going to happen.
Or he did one today
about Dave Portnoy
literally telling people
to join a Ponzi scheme.
Like, oh, SafeMoon is probably
a Ponzi scheme, allegedly.
SafeMoon is a Ponzi scheme, allegedly.
If you're in on the ground floor of the Ponzi scheme,
you'll still make money.
That's such an irresponsible thing to be telling people.
It's one thing to gamble
your own money away. It's one thing to do
that. But if you
are encouraging other people to
gamble their money, you are a horrible
person. Once again,
not all CryptoTubers are bad.
But there are so many of them out there who
have, I don't think have any
moral compass. Who just
think they can just say anything they want
and get away with it.
Because so far they can.
The SEC? The SEC
has been useless. There is, um,
I'm sure you guys know the, like, the
I sleep meme. I'll see,
for anyone who's a boomer who doesn't know what this meme is,
I'll show you a picture of the
I sleep meme.
It is this meme.
It is the I sleep, when nothing interesting this meme. It is the
I sleep when nothing interesting
happens and then real shit happens
and you have like the laser eyes.
This is what
like this represents the crypto market
right now.
Hey look, Elon Musk
is literally manipulating the price
of Bitcoin by tweeting
and oh he's manipulating all of you guys into thinking that he's trying to save the world
and he's literally controlling the market with his Twitter account.
I sleep.
Dave Portnoy telling people,
join a Ponzi scheme because if you're in on the ground floor,
you're still gonna make money.
I sleep.
LBRY trying to make a
decentralized video platform and actually do something productive and use
a cryptocurrency to solve a real problem? It's time for the SEC to get involved,
time to sue some people! Like, what is happening? What am I watching?
Like, the people who are actually building real projects, they're the ones
getting sued. The people who are actually building real projects, they're the ones getting
sued. The people who are unironically scamming people, nothing. Literally nothing. I don't
understand how broken, how broken the SEC is. Like, I don't want, you know, I don't want people
on Twitter who are just talking about things going to the moon to be sued.
That's not what I mean.
But when it's people who actually have the ability
to sway the market, like Elon,
when he can just say,
Tesla's not going to accept Bitcoin anymore,
market crash is 20%.
People like that,
that is where you,
things like the SEC actually should be used.
Not going after real projects because they talk about features.
I've talked about the library problem before.
Where library...
Literally, some of the evidence that the SEC is providing to sue them
is that they talk about features.
Like, they talk about, oh, library's going to have new features on their platform.
And they don't say, like, this is going to pump the price or anything. All they say is that library's going to have new features on their platform. And they don't say, like, this is going to pump the price or anything.
All they say is that library's going to have new features.
And, oh, here's some cool stuff we're doing.
Oh, why are you talking about features on your platform?
Why are you being truthful to your users?
Things that, like, make no sense in my head why they're being criticized about.
That's what the SEC goes after.
Not the actual people controlling the market
maybe because they know that if if elon does get sued he'll just move his company he'll just go
somewhere else wait when you're that rich you're basically immune to going to jail or being sued
because what you can just go somewhere else and what, the government's not going to follow you.
The government's not going to chase after you. They'd much
rather you just stay in their country
and keep providing them with
jobs and tax revenue and all this stuff.
That's enough of my rant about Elon's
Elon literally
manipulating crypto because
the SEC doesn't give a shit
about actual problems
all they care about is
we're going to sue people who want to make stuff
that's all they care about
so my end point here is
no matter what you do
be safe
don't be left holding the bag at the end
I don't think you should be even touching the market right now
but that's your money just be safe don't think you should be even touching the market right now, but
that's your money. Just be safe.
Don't put your life savings in something
that may go to zero tomorrow.
Like any of these meme
coins. That's what I'll say.
Okay. That's enough
ranting about crypto
right now. I think we're a bit done
with that. I think we can talk about something
else.
I don't know how long that rant went on for. Probably way
too long. Oh
my lord.
Let's talk about something a bit more fun.
So there is a pizza shop
not too far away from my place. A really
really good pizza shop. It's called
Australian
Pizza House. I think that's what it's
called. Am I
doxing myself telling you that I live
somewhere near this?
Whatever. I'm not going to tell you where I live.
It's within driving
distance of my house, which sums it up
to most of the state.
Anyway, there's a place
near me called Australian Pizza House.
Or Australia's Pizza House, depending on what sign they want to use today.
Anyway, they have really good food.
Like, I am genuinely impressed by the other pizza I got there.
I went there, what, like a week or so ago?
I got myself, what is it?
I think it was a barbecue beef pizza or something. I don't know. It had like pulled beef on it and it
was actually really good. I don't usually buy beef pizzas. I usually go down the chicken route,
but this one was really good. I've never had as good a pizza that I usually, you know,
go like Domino's and stuff like that. So my pizza standards are very low, but I have had good pizza
from other places.
And I think this is probably the best pizza I've ever had.
Anyway, I'm not here to talk about the pizza.
If you are ever near Australia's Pizza House, highly recommend going there.
If you want to get a pizza for yourself, it's actually pretty cheap, like $8,
which might sound like a lot if you're in a country where food's actually cheap to buy from restaurants.
But in Australia, $8 is actually a good price.
Buying lunch for $8
is actually surprising.
Anyway, not the point.
The point is
that this store is the sketchiest
looking store I have ever seen.
If you didn't know the food
was going to be good there and you walked into this place,
you would probably walk right out because holy crap this place
This place is very questionable. It has like what does it have? What is its rating on Google like a four and a half a five star?
Probably some really high rating. What give me a rating?
Give me a rating dammit. What do you mean the pizzas are basically all dough?
That's what a pizza is.
I don't know. Some insult.
I can't see a rating.
They're clearly ratings, but they haven't given me
a general rating. Google reviews, give me something.
Bullshit, it has a 3.8. The food's way
better than that. Anyway.
Actually, maybe it's because of how sketchy the building
is. So you walk into this place.
The entrance looks perfectly fine.
Okay? Entrance is fine.
That's because you're not
at the kitchen. Not the
dining area. Yeah, the dining area is what I call it.
You're not at the dining area or the place that you order stuff.
You walk
into that area.
There is a
exposed wall with
wiring hanging out.
It looks like they're supposed to be putting up some,
what are they, some gyprock to, like, cover the wall.
Gyprock's missing.
So it's just electrical wiring hanging everywhere.
And then they've got their,
because I guess they just never got around to putting the gyprock up,
they decided to actually stick the menu onto, like, the exposed wiring,
which is already bad enough like that
already gives you a bad enough impression turn to your left and there's um there's like concrete
for like the brick wall they've got there that's all good the bricking is like half done though
so it stops at about my head height and the rest rest of it is just. Exposed beams.
With more half done jip rocking.
And because of how like.
Sketchy the.
The bricks have been put up.
You can like.
Peel the concrete off the wall.
And peel the bricks off the wall.
It's just so.
So sketchy.
There's probably other weird things about it.
Like, there's a...
Oh, yeah, they've also got a pinball machine
that, because of Rona, they haven't been able to use
in, like, a year and a half.
It's just sitting there, covered in dust.
Like, no one's even bothered to dust it.
And there's, like, you know, in arcades,
they'll have, like, the...
Or, I guess in pubs as well,
they have, like, the boxing thing
where you, like, have to hit this bag
and it, like, tells you how strong you are.
Or you can hit it a number of times.
That's a weird angle.
We're not going to do that.
You can punch it a bunch of times.
And it gives you a score.
It's fun stuff.
You're drunk.
But none of that stuff has been cleaned.
Since it's been put there.
I think it's been there since the start of Rona.
And just no one
has cleaned it. So the dining area
is just absolutely horrible.
But. But.
Okay? The food.
The food is good.
It is the sketchiest shop
you've ever been in, but the food
is really, really good.
I'm gonna go there again on the weekend.
I want more pizza from there.
I don't usually buy pizza for myself.
I'm the sort of person who,
if someone buys pizza at a party,
I'm more than happy to devour it.
But I don't ever buy pizza just for myself.
I usually feel like it's...
No, it always feels kind of weird for me.
But this is an exception.
This is very much an exception.
Also, because it's Australia's pizza house
they've got like Australia stuff up
all over the place like they've got a
3D painting of
a
3D painting of a koala
so like a 3D painting would be basically
a combination of a painting and like a
sculpture if you've never seen one before
it looks pretty good and they've
got like a big banner of their logo and all that here we go i'll show you what their logo looks
like this logo right here that is the people who work there well okay you've been docs now i guess
why is it not showing me the picture that's fine that the picture's public what what the hell
okay there we go now we can see it. Oh, wait. It was
merged together. Right, that's why. Open image.
Thank you. Well, that's small.
And it's also cut off. It's a cool logo as well.
I highly recommend the place if you're
ever in the Adelaide, the
northern Adelaide region around the
Modbury area. Very good food.
Yeah.
All I have to say about them.
Australian Pizza House, you get a five star from me.
Much better than a lot of the Chinese food places around here.
There's a lot of, I don't know if these exist anywhere else,
but the way that a lot of Chinese fast food places work here is a lot of them are, they're rice or noodles
and then two choices of like meat whatever meat you want or i guess some
places have tofu as well but usually it's going to be like you want some honey chicken you want some
uh sweet and sour pork things like that and most of those places are so bad like they're a lot of
them are so so bad there's a place um in the elizabethping Centre, which is actually pretty good
it's got a really shit rating, all of these places
have a horrible rating, so the only way to find out
if the food there is actually good, is to
go there yourself, but the one in Elizabeth
I think it's called Cherry Blossom or something
I guess no one cares about local
food joints, but I'm going to keep talking about them because
I am doing a solo podcast and that's what
I do, yeah
Cherry Blossom in Elizabeth.
I think it was.
I'm pretty sure it's a Chinese place.
A lot of the Chinese places.
Just use very generic.
Yeah it is a Chinese place.
Just use very generic Chinese names.
Or very generic Asian names.
East Asian names.
Anything that sounds East Asian.
They'll usually go.
They'll usually use the name.
There is a place next to it that does very similar stuff that is a Japanese place.
It sells the exact same food, but that place is called Itami.
Anyway.
Not the point.
Cherry Blossom?
No.
No.
Wait, maybe it's something different. As as i said all of these places have the
exact same like sort of generic names like what there's cherry blossom sushi there's cherry
blossom takeaway there's sakura takeaway like very like even if it's like a chinese place or a
vietnamese place they'll just go with like the most generic sounding east asian names even if
it's not at all like related to their actual culture.
Everything is just very generic.
Usually it ends up going Japanese even when it's not
Japanese stuff. Don't ask why.
It's just how it goes.
But that place is good.
There's one in
Tea Tree Plaza which is really
overpriced and you're like
biting into the honey chicken and
most of it's just batter like there's
this little tiny bit of meat in there and i'm just like okay can i can i get good food please i've
been there twice i usually give a lot of usually my my the way i do stuff if i'm gonna try out food
from somewhere is i'll try it during like their busiest time and i'll try it during their off
period if they screw up in both of them there there is no reason for your shop to exist. Because I get
like being, having issues
in like your peak period.
You should be good at that, because that's when you make your money.
But I get having issues then. I've worked
in fast food. I understand that.
In your off period though, if your food is bad,
well that just means that you're a terrible
shop.
Pretty much
it. I don't have anything more
to say about that. Oh! On
the note of that pizza place, it does
take a very long time to get the pizza, because
they actually make everything from scratch.
So I think it took me like 15 minutes to get the pizza,
because unlike, you know, Pizza Hut,
where they have like, industrial
cookers and stuff, a lot of stuff is pre-made.
This is all like, cooked
fresh for you, and it's really
good because of it. I'm going to keep talking about this pizza
place because it's really good. Maybe I'll do a live stream
and just have a pizza on it. Maybe I should do a
mukbang stream, just so I have an excuse
to eat more pizza from there.
So, judging by my
last stream, maybe I can actually make this
stream actually pay off the pizza, because holy
crap!
My last main channel stream? I don my last main channel stream i don't know
what happened i don't know i don't know why people were so excited for that one but it didn't get
that many views it was my highest super chat though i think in that stream i made like
uh before the youtube cut because youtube takes a 30% cut of Super Chats, I made like $95 from Super Chats, which
for a big channel isn't a lot,
but I've never had more than like $10
in an entire stream.
And it was... I don't know what was
going on. It was just like Super Chat
after Super Chat after Super Chat.
They were all asking like inane questions
like, hey, is Super Se...
Oh no, is Super Se...
Is cereal a soup?
What's your favorite programming language?
Things like that.
You know, very simple questions.
The soup's a cereal.
Cereal's a soup one.
Led me into a tangent for a while,
but I appreciated it.
I don't know why, though.
I don't know why people were getting very generous that stream.
Maybe it's because it's the first time I've done an American stream in a while.
So normally when I do my main channel streams, I stream it at 8pm my time.
Which ends up being good for the Europeans and good for the Indians.
Which are two of my big demographics.
But I did this one for the Americans.
I don't know, maybe Americans just have a lot more disposable income
that could very well be it
I don't know, there was like, it wasn't just one person
I think there was like four or so people
who had very generous wallets that day
I don't know why
but my Patreon
also grew a lot recently as well
I think I've had like three
three or four people join the Patreon.
Oh, I take that back.
One person deleted the Patreon.
But I've had one, two, three.
Three people join and then one person upgrade.
So, I don't know.
Apparently, May is just the month of giving.
I thought that was December.
I thought that was Christmas. But apparently, May is the month of giving. I thought that was December. I thought that was Christmas.
But apparently May is the month of giving now.
I'm not going to say no to it.
If people are going to be very generous,
I do definitely appreciate it.
It's awesome that people want to do that.
I just never understand why.
And especially in that case,
it's one thing if you're like,
hey, here's five bucks, do a stream, it's good.
But I think one of the dudes in there gave me like $40 or something. It's like, that's one thing if you're like, hey, here's five bucks, do a stream, it's good. But some of, like, I think one of the dudes in there gave me, like, $40 or something.
It's like, that's crazy.
Like, that's absolutely insane.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I don't understand why, but thank you.
People are very generous.
I think it's part of the FOSS thing, though.
Like, what the FOSS thing?
The FOSS community.
Because my channel, like, I've noticed not just my channel, actually a lot of the
a lot of the FOSS channels
the
well, how would you describe it
the average
the average
patronage, the average patronage, yes
the average patronage is
really high
like the amount that people
the amount that people actually donate
so i think
mine i think averages at like nine dollars per person yeah so here is my patreon mine averages
whatever that works out to be 221 divided by uh 24 about nine ish dollars a person i think dt's
is also pretty high as well i'm pretty sure dt's is Oh yeah, on that note, I'm always going to keep
my Patreon public because I don't think
there's really any reason to hide that information.
Like,
I don't care if people know how much I make.
I think it actually makes more sense to make
that public because then people are like
people can then
make a actual
realistic decision about
whether they want to
actually support the channel.
Yeah, here you go. DT has 286 patrons, but that works out to be what? How much is that?
I'm gonna do the maths. By do the maths, I mean I'm going to
type the maths into a calculator and the maths will be done for me.
mean I'm going to type the maths into a calculator and the maths will be done
for me.
That averages out to
almost $6 a person.
$5.59. That's insane.
Like, a lot of really big
channels like, you know, the
Ludwigs, the Pokimanes, people like
that, theirs averages out to
be more like $2 a person.
I don't know know maybe it's just
part of part of the foss community people are just really generous for some reason like i think like
it makes sense because it makes sense because a lot of projects rely on donations so there's
sort of like this mentality that donating really does like help people out.
That could very well be it.
And I guess that then extends into like the creators who also make videos in that world.
I don't know.
I just realized I have a message on Patreon.
Who messages me on Patreon?
Oh, okay.
Let's see what this guy said.
I'm going to read your message.
I'm going to read your message. do you say anything private in here?
this is from Joseph
I'm not going to read his last name
it's already been a while since I watched your videos
as I was heavy into gaming on Linux of course
for a few months
started back on my Linux desktop eventually
and have been catching up on your videos a few weeks back
did a video about a CLI assistant
included some info on text-to-speech
ah, that would be on
the one that Bugs Writer did.
Tuxy, that one.
I wanted to let you know about a much better text...
Wait, CLI assistant include...
Oh, okay, no.
Yeah, no, this is about Tuxy.
I wanted to let you know about a much better text-to-speech system.
It's called Festival.
It's in the Arch repos and there are three packages. Festival, Festival English and Festival US.
Even though you are not from the US, I recommend installing that package because all the more
advanced, more natural sounding voices are in that package. The others sound like Stephen Hawking.
It's from the University of Edinburgh Speech Labs and the documentation is pretty bad.
About 20 years old, so is the help feature.
If you use it's built in command interpreter, just be sure to wrap the commands in...
in brackets. Yes, that's what those are called.
And there is tab completion. Voice in the hit tab will bring up a list of commands.
Test that it is working like this say text hello there
Include the bracket. I like voice CMU US RMS CG for my default voice
There are some other voices that come up with just voice without the bracket like a Welsh voice
But I've never been able to get them to work. Maybe you'll have better luck
Hope you have fun with this and I'm glad you're still making great content thanks for that well thank you Joseph
let's check it out now
we're not going to test out the software but
let's actually see what this is
festival
text to speech
I guess we can look that up
text to speech should
show us what he's talking about
I think yeah so in that video where I talked about text to speech I was talking Text-to-speech should show us what he's talking about.
I think, yeah.
So in that video where I talked about text-to-speech,
I was talking about... I was talking about Tuxy.
I was talking about text-to-speech in the context of eSpeak.
Best of text-to-speech.
Oh, DT did a video on it last year.
Okay, let's see DT's video on it. Does this mean I'm going to steal DT did a video on it last year. Uh, okay. Let's see DT's video on it.
Does this mean I'm going to steal DT's content?
I don't care about selling stuff online, Wix.
Go away.
Uh, let's steal some DT content.
Because that's what YouTubers do.
Let's see.
Let's see him run the command.
Um.
No.
Okay, you're showing us how to install packages geez this is
an old style of content isn't it i remember when i did this oh
hash dot files left bracket screenshot of my desktop right bracket https slash slash
yeah that's text speech i'll have a look at this one actually that actually
does sound pretty useful.
Yeah, there's a video if you want to go watch it from DT himself.
Apparently, there's a lot of other voice packages that can be used as well.
Maybe this is how my arch-nemesis, BabyWogue, makes his videos.
Probably. I don't know.
Let's see if someone comments about it.
Usually someone will do that.
Baby
Wogue? No, no one
mentions Baby Wogue.
I do wonder how he does his voice. I know that
I have heard the voice
from streamers before, and I don't
know where the voice package came
from.
Clearly, it's a popular voice package if like big
streamers are using it as well and it must run with things like outside of linux as well because
these are like windows people i don't know i'll try it out i'll try this thing out see uh see what
it's useful for and thank you for the suggestion uh if anyone's ever curious about how to get in
contact with me you don't have to be a patron to do it like that's just one of my many methods the easiest way i would say is probably go and contact me on
on mastodon or twitter that's where i will see your thing like basically straight away
because i'm on mastodon twitter more often than i should be um But if you want to get in contact with me straight away.
That's a good way to do it.
Or over on Discord.
But I get a lot of people don't want to do that.
Another way you could contact me is.
If you really want to.
I don't suggest it.
Because I'll probably take a couple of days to respond to you.
Is over email.
You can find my email in various places.
On my various channels.
If it's something related to my main channel,
please contact me
with the email for my main channel.
I like to have stuff nicely segregated
out. It makes stuff easier to
sort through. Obviously, if it's about
the gaming channel or the podcast, use those
specific emails as well.
Just email me
on the channel email that is relevant
to the topic you were mentioning.
Yeah.
Or if you want to bring up video topics,
if you want to just comment
on a video, I read all my comments.
So even if you comment on a video
about, I don't know,
Richard Stallman, and you're like,
hey, here's a cool application to try out.
I will still take that advice.
If that's just your easiest way to contact me as well,
like, that's cool.
Do whatever you want.
Whatever works for you,
I check most of my methods of contact.
Most of the time.
The worst way to contact me,
even though I do accept messages there,
is I have a Facebook fan page.
I check Facebook fan page. I check Facebook fan page...
I check the page probably once every
six... three to
six months. So...
Not the best way. Unless it doesn't
matter. Unless you're like, hey, cool stuff.
If that's what you want to say,
contact me
wherever.
Yeah.
Yeah, words.
Words are hard.
Words are hard because I did a five-hour stream.
Nearly a five-hour stream earlier today.
And it is currently 9.17pm.
I could have done this earlier,
but I was also planning videos out.
Planning videos earlier today as well.
What ones did I plan today, actually?
That's a good question. Let's find out.
Um... I planned a video on Google AMP I do want to talk about that
a bit
after I finish this actually
I did a video or planned a video on Google AMP
matrix spaces and also I want to do a video
discussing what decentralization
actually is
now Google AMP nobody is talking about this
and i have no idea why nobody's talking about this because it is a really big deal so google
amp is um google's web framework for building mobile friendly web pages now Now, Google AMP is dead.
It's just dead.
I don't know why literally nobody's talking
about this, but
Google's killing them.
There's this article right here from
plausible.io. Now, you might be saying,
oh, but Google hasn't announced they're killing them.
No, no, no. They haven't announced they're killing them,
but they're effectively killing them.
So, the problem that Google AMP pages cause is that Google is a massive monopoly that will basically control everything they want to control.
And they've made it so up until now, if you wanted to have your news site ranked in the news section on Google,
it had to be a Google AMP page.
And if you wanted to show up in news.google.com,
it had to be a Google AMP page.
They're finally fixing that, making it so you don't need to use AMP.
Now, this is the entire use case for AMP.
The only reason anyone ever used AMP,
because it's not a good web framework besides this, the only reason they ever used AMP is because if you don't use AMP, your site will
not be ranked. So removing that requirement is effectively the same as killing Google AMP.
And I'm so happy it's happening because AMP sites are so boring. They all look exactly the same.
Sure, you can have different font and you can
have different pictures, but besides that, they all look the same. They are all so, so boring.
It takes all the fun out of website development and like exploring the web.
When every new site you go to is like, hey, here is a white page with some text on it
and a logo at the top.
Wow, that's so exciting.
And it's not like AMP even succeeded
in doing what its main purpose was,
which from Google's side, we're saying,
hey, AMP pages make your site faster
because they don't. They make your site faster because they don't.
They make your site faster than a poorly designed website.
That's about it.
Because the problem with Google AMP sites
is while they do make your site faster
going by Google's metrics,
what Google doesn't include
is the main reason why sites are slow,
which is having lots and lots of analytics
from things like Google Analytics
or loading in a lot of external fonts
from Google Fonts,
you know, the stuff that actually slows down websites.
That stuff not included in the metrics.
That stuff just magically ignored.
And if you, you know, don't do that,
you don't have telemetry
or you download your fonts and actually load them with the site,
turns out your site becomes much faster.
Crazy that.
Or if you don't have auto-playing videos,
or you don't be lazy and you just load the entire site
when the user loads the site,
instead you go and actually program
and you load the site as the user views stuff.
All this stuff makes your site so much faster.
I know it's crazy.
Imagine actually optimizing your site and making it quicker.
It's crazy.
Who would ever have thought that?
But turns out it does.
And it makes it faster than AMP.
Like you could use anything else and it would still be faster than AMP.
Maybe not anything else.
Maybe not anything else.
Maybe if you use, like, jQuery and, like, made really bad jQuery code, it would be slower.
But, like, you use React, and you don't write your site like an absolute moron.
Or you use Vue or Angular, and you just write it sensibly.
It'll still be fast.
You just have to make sure you're not doing that other stupid shit.
Which is very easy. Not having telemetry?
Surprisingly easy. Not including Google Fonts?
Surprisingly easy. I know it's- who would ever thought that like not doing stuff would make- would actually be quite easy. Just not-
not stealing people's data is actually the easiest thing you could ever do. It actually involves far less work to not steal people's data.
But anyway,
AMP is basically dead. There will be a video coming out about that
before this actually comes out. So yeah, there will be a video
about this on my channel already. Check
that out if you want a more structured
way of talking about this, rather
than me just blur
out a stream of nonsense.
My camera just has stopped focusing. Okay. You good there, camera?
Okay, my camera just decided that we're not going to be in focus right now.
You good there? Okay. Okay, sure.
Whatever, whatever.
My camera's been doing that recently, actually.
I don't know what's the cause of that.
Maybe I've got, like, a spec on my lens or something.
Actually, I could very well have a spec on my lens.
I don't see a spec on my lens.
Uh...
I don't know what's happening.
My camera.
That's why. Wait, did I don't know what's happening. My camera. That's why.
Wait, did I?
Wait, I just realized.
Did I just click on that to like focus?
I did.
I did.
I clicked on the thing to change my layout when I like got close to the camera.
Why did I do that?
I don't know.
I don't know why I did that.
Hey, look, I actually don't have my filter on today.
So I can whisper and you can still hear me
Can you?
Wait, I actually have the filter on
Give me one second, let me check
Do I have the filter on?
If I do, then that would sound really horrible
I do!
I'm going to turn it off
Now you can hear me
Yeah
This really sounds really weird for any of the audio listeners Yeah.
This really sounds really weird for any of the audio listeners.
That's enough.
That's enough of that.
We are not going to do that anymore.
Everyone just stop listening as soon as I started doing that.
I have no regrets.
No regrets whatsoever.
Speaking of no regrets, I recently discovered
a new channel that I do not regret watching
because it is so good.
Coffeezilla I already knew about, but this
channel, this channel's a new one to me.
There is a channel out there called
Air Force Proud 95.
Treat this as my shoutout
for the day as well, even though he has
1.3 million subs this guy is really fun now every single video on his channel
every single video on his channel is about microsoft flight simulator and he's also a
commercial pilot so like he actually he understands like the flight lingo as well which makes it even
funnier because people on flight sim are microsoft flight sim most of them don't like the flight lingo as well which makes it even funnier because people on
flight sim are marks of flight sim most of them don't know the flight lingo so he's just like
bullshitting half the time and they don't actually know any better but he has this um this series
called fsx multiplayer chaos and trolling where like he does do like actual realistic flight sim
stuff that stuff's fun and all but
that's not the most fun the fun stuff is where he's trolling people in multiplayer where
uh people like hey i want to go i want to go find some aliens or uh hey i'm gonna just call people
absolute assholes while being the atc as someone had their call sign as oof and he was just
like I refuse to let you land at my airport until you change your call sign or uh someone was like
hey I'm gonna make my call sign weed ha ha ha funny uh basically he's just going around the
ATC stuff is really good as well that's the uh the air traffic controller but I think the air
traffic controller videos are the best videos.
Just trolling everyone trying to fly into his airport. Anyone who jumps
into the chat and is like, hey,
what airport are you at? He always just
answers, we're at Pyongyang.
Pyongyang in North Korea.
But, no,
I highly recommend this dude's channel.
I've been watching so many of his videos recently,
and I don't care at all about Microsoft Flight Sim.
If it wasn't for this...
If it wasn't for this channel,
I would never watch a Microsoft Flight Sim video.
That sounds incredibly boring.
But this game is horribly, horribly broken, apparently.
And it makes some interesting
interesting situations. Like you can very easily mod the game in
multiplayer and do things like turn your F-18 into a hot air balloon and do 300
knots in a hot air balloon uh which for obvious reasons is quite
amusing to see and doesn't stop being funny i've seen it like four times now doesn't stop being
funny or you could be like hey i'm gonna i'm gonna modify my my boeing 737 to have the flight parameters of a Cessna for example. And land on an aircraft carrier.
And just do stupid shit like that.
I highly recommend it.
It's so fun to watch this stuff.
It might sound like Microsoft Flight Sim is just really boring.
But I guarantee.
I guarantee this dude has a fun channel.
And he deserves his
his
gold play button
even though he does record his videos
with a Blue Yeti
this is proof right here
that gear doesn't matter
if you're a fun creator
gear does not matter because
you can get a million subs
with a Blue Yeti, you don't need to have a nice microphone like i do this is a nice microphone this is just less bad microphone or
like a nice mixer board like i have you can just use a blue yeti as long as you don't use it as it
is out of the box you turn down the gain to the minimum you can make it functional and i think
with his videos the other bad microphone actually does add to it because you know when when you're an air traffic controller or a pilot like you you know you hear like the
bad microphone so it actually adds to like the adds to the feel of the videos I guess
whereas usually like a blue yeti would make the video sound worse I think
being an air traffic controller with a blue yeti actually does kind of add to it
the guys he's talking to in team speaking discord
have way worse microphones anyway just like hey can you not record with your like
your xbox like your original xbox microphone back when like multiplayer was first introduced can you
not record with that microphone that would be nice thanks't happen. Doesn't happen at all. They're just going to keep using it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One of the really good videos is there was, for whatever reason,
they were flying a bunch of Cessna 172s.
And they were like, oh, yes, we are Air Force One.
Air Force One just couldn't afford the F-18s today so they rented a bunch of Cessnas.
Taxpayer dollars going to
a good cause.
But out of nowhere
someone joined the TeamSpeak who could
absolutely perfectly
impersonate President Obama.
And
that led to some fun
situations because hey, why is Obama flying the Air Force
One plane?
Don't question it. Doesn't matter.
Why is the president
flying? Who cares?
It's funny. And towards the end of the
video they decided to
interview Obama
and that led to some
amusing questions being asked.
I recommend this channel. I do re- really recommend it. It is Microsoft Flight Sim, which doesn't sound fun, but I guarantee it is.
Watch one video from like the multiplayer trolling series, and I guarantee you will
just- you will be in love with this channel.
Yes. in love with this channel.
Yes.
Oh, another good one was when they had...
Just the most Australian
Australian dude you can ever imagine.
Who was like, yeah, it's my first day as an
air traffic controller. I don't
know what I'm doing whatsoever.
And trying to help him
guide him to the ground. And that obviously went
quite badly. So, check
out the channel. Recommend it. This isn't the end of the
podcast. I just happen to talk about
this right now.
Speaking of
talking about right now, I don't know.
That's bad segue.
Uh, I've been getting ads for a new game recently.
I don't know how new the game actually is, but it's been, it's new for me.
I only found that it existed like very recently.
I guess it came out.
Actually, no, that would explain why I only just found out very recently because it actually
just came out very recently, because it actually just came out very recently.
There is a game out there called Toho Lost Word.
Not Lost World, as you may think.
Lost Word.
This is a Toho gacha game.
Why a Toho gacha game didn't exist before this point?
I don't know.
I genuinely don't know. So, being a gacha game, it's got the normal gacha game didn't exist before this point? I don't know. I genuinely don't know.
So being a gacha game, it's got the normal gacha combat style where it's like,
Hey, here's a party of characters.
They will fight things in an RPG way.
Woo.
I have no interest in playing it.
But I've been getting these ads for it and it does look good.
It does look good.
But I know it's going to happen. I play this game and it's going to do what every single
gacha game does.
Here's a picture of the combat actually.
It's going to do what every single gacha game does where it's like
oh yeah, free to play is fine for like
the first 10 hours.
Now time for free to play become
very difficult to
play productively and you're going to
have to grind for days
upon days to get any single
good drops. I'm
not up for that. But hey, if you want to have
fun Toho
story, that's
cool. I've never actually played a Toho game
all the way through. Also, yeah, the
art actually is really beautiful. I will
give it props for the art.
The art style it started to go with for this game actually is really good.
I'm happy they didn't go with the normal Team Shanghai art style for Touhou,
which is questionably good.
Anyway, as I said, I haven't actually played all the way through a Touhou game,
but if you've never played Touhou before, basically
it's a bullet hell.
Now, for some reason, I
know that a lot of people just don't know what the
word bullet hell means,
even though there's a lot of western bullet hell
games. Basically, a bullet hell is where
you have some enemy shooting at you
from the top of the screen, and
you have to dodge the bullets. Basically, take
Space Invaders and make it
a thousand times more bullets.
That's pretty much what it is.
The only Touhou game I've actually
played was
Touhou 6.
Touhou 6 Embodiment
of the Scarlet Devil
is the art style from Touhou 6. This is why
I'm
quite happy.
Quite very happy that they didn't go with this art style.
Because it's not very good.
Anyway.
Bullet hell.
This is what you have to deal with.
Like what is this?
There are so many things in your screen.
It's crazy.
Anyway.
It's fun.
It's really fun.
But it's very difficult.
This is probably,
what is this on? Lunatic difficulty?
Obviously, the higher difficulty you go, the more bullets there will be on your screen.
You can play, like, bitchier difficulties
if you want to, and, like, not suffer as much.
But, if you want
to suffer, then you can play
insane, or you can, whatever
the hard, Lunatic? You can play Lunatic mode
on, uh mode on 6
because 6 is apparently also very difficult.
Apparently it's one of the harder ones.
Which is probably not for the best
if that was the first one I played.
But Touhou is fun. It's fun
because you know that you suffer.
If that makes sense.
It's fun because you know that there is a lot of room to improve.
It's one of those games.
If you're the sort of person who doesn't care that they're not making any progress.
And you're happy to just bash your head against a wall for hours upon hours on end.
Just to become better at a game.
It is the perfect game for you.
It's one of those games.
If you want to make progress, not so much.
So if you're the sort of person who likes games
like say
you know, Hades, Binding of Isaac
things like that. Things where
you're always doing the same things
over and over and over again trying to
get that slight improvement upon
upon your previous run
that's the sort of person who's going to enjoy
this game.
Maybe I'll go back and play Toho again at some point.
I know there's a...
There's fucking Toho 17.
Is that the most recent one?
What the fuck?
Wait, what's...
Toho 17 came out in 2019.
What is the most recent Toho game?
Um... What is the most recent Touhou game? The most recent version is
Touhou 18
Unconnected Marketeers.
The art style
still looks like shit.
It's better shit, but it's still shit.
I'm quite happy this is not
the art style they went with.
But hey, people are happy with the art style.
So if they actually got good art at this point,
I guess people would...
People probably wouldn't be as happy with it.
Just optimize your shit into the best shit art style it can be.
Anyway, yeah.
I was saying that I should go back and play some Toho, maybe some of the newer games,
and actually have some fun with it, I don't know, it's not my, I usually go with bullet hell games,
that's not my general sort of thing, I am very big on, like, the RPG games, very big on, like,
the action RPG, that's my current thing I'm big for. I might...
Yeah, that takes...
Yeah.
Words.
I was talking about Crystar before.
I'm not 100% set on which game I'm going to play next,
but it's probably going to be some sort of RPG.
Because Crystar was an RPG,
I enjoyed the RPG components,
I just didn't enjoy the Crystar components,
which is
most of the rest of the game, but if I play
something like Kingdom Hearts or something like that
I think I'll have a more fun time
or I've actually got a copy of
which Final Fantasy game
was it?
Final Fantasy something or other
I don't remember, the one with
Squall
whatever Final Fantasy game that is, whatever Final Fantasy game that is with Squall. Whatever Final Fantasy game that is.
Whatever Final Fantasy game that is.
Squall.
That would be Final Fantasy.
8.
Yes.
Final Fantasy 8 on PS4.
It's like the re-release of it.
That I paid like $10 for.
Because god no.
I wouldn't pay a full price for that one.
There's plenty of other games there.
Like Nier Automata.
Actually, the problem with playing
Nier or a Final Fantasy game
is they're very long. Nier Automata.
Time to beat.
Not time to platinum. Fuck that.
Time to beat.
Main story is
21 hours.
Plus the extras is
37 and a half hours. Completionist
is 61 and a half. That might
not be that bad as a stream game then.
Hmm.
I don't trust that it'll take 21
hours. I would be the sort of person
who gets sidetracked
by other shit.
But 10-ish streams actually doesn't seem that bad
i could i could uh make that a decent stream game i thought it would have been longer
maybe i could actually know if i want something long to play i've got a copy of um
ninokuni uh what is the game? Where is it?
I'll just
look up Ni no kuni 2.
Ni no kuni 2
Revenant Kingdom.
Wait, how long does the first game
say to complete? Because I remember
the tutorial taking like
20 hours.
30 to 60 hours.
Bullshit.
Bullshit it takes 30 hours.
44 and a half hours
according to howlongtobeat.com
I completed
Ni No Kuni at about 80 hours.
Yeah, that's about right. I remember, I think
I spent 100 hours playing Ni No Kuni
1.
I did also go back and try to like
capture specific enemies. Ni No Kuni 2, time to complete.
38 and a half hours, I call bullshit.
It took me about 90 hours to finish all but one side quest. That sounds like a Ni No Kuni game.
That absolutely sounds like a Ni No Kuni game right there.
I want to play that as well.
I have so many games I want to play.
I also got a couple of the Ataliya games on my shelf as well.
Just some of the random old ones.
Like, what do we have here?
Ataliya, Sophie, The Alchemist and The Mysterious Book.
And also Ataliah, Fierce, The Alchemist and The Mysterious Journey.
Why did I buy random Ataliah games?
I don't know.
But when I bought my PS4, I was just collecting games.
And that sort of happened.
I want to go play
Ryza. Ryza looks really fun though.
Ryza does look like a lot of fun.
So maybe
I'll go buy Ryza but
I also want to go play these older ones I have on my shelf as well.
Maybe I'll do that. I don't know.
At last Sophie was
released in 2015.
Yeah.
I don't know why I was collecting random Atalaya games.
I don't know.
Actually, I've played like 10 minutes of an Atalaya game.
And I thought it was fun.
Like, I played it at a friend's house.
I think it was...
Hmm, what Atalaya game did I play?
It was a PS3 game.
Atalaya PS3.
Let's see if I can find it.
And I played with the English dub.
And god, that game was not good in the English dub.
Ah, yes, that's the one it was.
Was it this one?
I think it was.
Give me one second.
I think it was Escher me one second. I think it was Esha and
Logi.
Yeah, Alchemist of the
Dusk Sky. That's what it was.
Okay, looking back on this now,
I don't know. I think me now
would really enjoy this, especially if I did hear the
Japanese voice acting. Me at the
time wasn't like a big...
I was not a big anime fan when I played
this game at a friend's house.
But I think me now, this is like
exactly what I like. Like, look at this.
That thing's adorable.
And she's adorable. Look at that big sword she has.
That's adorable carrying the sword.
Also, this cool dude with the white hair.
So you can have him with
cat ears, I guess, for some reason.
But also, the dub did definitely hurt that game surely. Actually you know what we're gonna listen to the English voices. English.
Why did I hate this? Let's see why I hated this. Oh, this is Vita gameplay.
Uh, show me a cutscene.
Cutscene, cutscene,
cutscene, or...
Oh, I guess a battle works as well. You'll hear
how she sounds there.
Come on.
Look at all these...
Oh god, I don't care about you.
Don't, don't... I don't care about you.
Don't- don't- you don't speak.
I wanted to hear the character speak.
Uh...
Ooh, this is bad. Uh...
Well, thankfully he-
Stop speaking. Uh... I'm gonna find someone else who isn't speaking.
Let's see... That would be nice else who isn't speaking. Let's see.
That would be nice.
Please don't speak.
I don't want to deal with your voice.
And I don't... No, no.
You don't get to have your ad playing on my screen points, Bet.
Yeah, here we go.
Here's a cutscene. Okay. Let's see if this person is talking.
On board precisely because we feel you are necessary, but unlike before...
Thank you, manager?
No.
Now now, there's no need to be-
This is considerably less bad than I remember. Oh! Sorry, branch manager Grumman.
No, it's quite bad. It's not as horrible, I remember it being so much worse,
but that's at least tolerable. On that note, let's go see the Japanese version,
because it's gonna be much better I wonder if
I wonder if I recognize her voice I probably will I'm usually pretty good at um
I'm usually pretty good at recognizing um recognizing Japanese seiyuu
uh Japanese Japanese Sayu. Japanese.
If I can spell Japanese.
That is an English playthrough.
Don't show me an English playthrough.
I don't care.
That's a trailer.
That is an OST.
Show me some voices.
Don't show me. That's a good channel as well't, don't show me... Okay, that's a good channel as well.
But don't show me that.
Oh, from Red Gaming.
No, I'm not giving points bet.
They're mad.
Go away.
It's not happening.
No, that's still English voices.
Why can I not find anyone playing this game with the Japanese voices?
Um...
You know what?
We just look up
who is voicing her.
And then we'll work it out from there.
Wikipedia to the rescue.
Tell me who voices are in the Japanese version.
Give me an answer.
Rie Murakawa.
Rie Murakawa.
Onto my anime list we go,
because anyone voicing in Japan who voices video games
probably also voices anime characters as well,
and I am 100% correct.
Okay, let's see.
Uh, don't know that.
Kaoruko from Boku no Hero Season 3. Okay, don't know that kaoruko from boku no hero season three okay i don't remember your voice
tiona from uh damachi okay okay nyatan from that thing from etotama
uh ah megumi from gochumon Okay, that voice fits. Yeah, I can see that.
Anzu from Hinamata. Ah, voice of Ram. Okay, her Japanese voice would be really good then. Okay.
Yeah, Japanese voice would be good. Who else do we have? Otaru from Non Non Bayori.
Obiyori? Not Bayori. Natsuki Momohara from One Room. Obviously, Ram from ReZero, not just from the
spin-off series. Uh...
Yui from Trinity
7. Okay.
Okay, that's a pretty
good voice. Yeah, the, um...
Her Japanese voice would be
less bad than her
English voice. But her English voice is not as terrible as I remember.
If you want terrible English voices, I highly recommend listening to some English gameplay of the Neptunia series.
I'm going to show you the...
Oh, yeah, here we go.
Here's a bad one.
Neptunia.
We look up Neptune's catchphrase.
Jump like a kangaroo.
Holy shit.
The English version of that is so bad.
Let's listen to...
No, that is muted.
Here we go.
Like a kangaroo. Like a kangaroo. Like a kangaroo. No, that is muted. There you go.
I hate you. Stop that.
Stop. Stop.
Japanese.
Here is the Japanese version from the anime, but still works.
That's adorable.
That's much better.
That's much better.
The Japanese Neptune voice is so much better.
Why would anyone ever play the Neptunia series in English?
It hurts me that people do this.
I hear... That catchphrase gets very annoying very quickly.
Luckily, jumping is very useless in the game.
Like, there's really no way
you need to actually jump.
But, whenever I play some sort of like,
really any JLPG,
I always play it in native voices.
I actually try to,
most games I actually try to play in native voices.
Like, if a game,
if I was to go play Witcher, for example,
I would probably play Witcher
with the native voices.
Generally, what you see is
when a language is in its native version,
generally the game is going to have better voices
that's not always the case sometimes um especially in the case of japanese dubs the japanese dub is
so much better like have you ever watched the japanese dub of ruby for example that is the um
the rooster teeth series the first season in Japanese is so good.
Like, I'm so surprised by, like, how good the Japanese voice in RWBY are.
Let's see if we can find an example.
I don't make any money on this anyway, so we can just show copyrighted stuff.
RWBY Japanese.
Here we go. I'm obviously not... Wait, is this gonna play the music?
Probably gonna play music, isn't it?
Here we go. Yeah, that's fine. This part's fine.
I wanna hear Ruby's voice.
Show me Ruby's voice, dammit!
Show me Ruby speaking.
Here we go.
This should do it.
Especially in the case where Ruby is a web series Like
Ruby being a web series
The voice actors in Ruby are not
Especially in season 1
Are not voice actors
The only voice acting they've done
Some of them haven't done any
But the only ones that have done any voice acting
Was in Red vs Blue, another web series, which doesn't have amazing voice acting to begin
with. So the English version of RWBY is just like, questionably voiced, but you then have
professional, professional voice actresses do it, are doing it in the Japanese version, and it's
just so much better. I wonder how much of it's actually been dubbed into Japanese wait
if they've dealt to wait season four has been dubbed into Japanese wait what
apparently so okay excuse me season four in season five have been dubbed in
Japanese I did not know that I did not know that.
I did not know that at all.
That's actually surprising.
Okay, I only knew that Season 1 was.
I guess it must have been popular enough to continue doing it.
Maybe because the dub was better than their own voices.
But, hmm.
I don't know.
Ruby is a fun series.
Even though the series is sort of like train wrecked, ever since Monty Ome died,
the story has just been like spiraling into like absolute oblivion.
Like they decided to change how the story was going to go
after Monty had a pretty good direction to go with.
I think they're going to keep,
what was her name?
Pura?
Pyra?
Pura? The girl who died in season three. I think it're gonna keep what was her name? Pyrrha? Pyrrha?
The girl who died in season 3.
I think it was Pyrrha. It's been a long time since she died.
They're gonna keep her around as like a mentor for Jaune.
And they're like, nah.
Nah, let's not do that. Let's instead, now that
Monty's dead, just kill her off.
And just make Jaune more powerful
because reasons.
Like, what? Why? Huh? But she was a really because reasons. Like, what?
Why?
Huh?
But she was a really good character.
Like, one of the best characters in the series.
Nah, let's kill her off.
Let's kill her off in it.
Better.
What?
No, no, it's not how that works.
Let's not do that.
Let's keep the good characters around.
And then they, like, killed... Like, not killed.
I guess they killed the characters
of the main characters.
Yeah, that works. Sure.
Very roundabout way of saying it, but it works.
So all the
main characters in RWBY represented
colours. You had RWBY, who was red.
You had Weiss, who was white.
You had Blake, who was black. And you had Yang,
who was yellow. But as the series
continued on,
like, their costumes actually shifted more towards looking very generic.
Like, Ruby now has, like, a bunch of black in her costume and, like, belts everywhere because anime characters need belts.
Yang is now, like, wearing a bunch of brown clothing.
Blake has white clothing.
And Weiss is, like, grey now.
So it sort of, like, takes away the original theme of the series.
And I really feel like if Monty was still around,
it would not have gone that direction.
Monty was bringing the series in a really good direction
and he died when the series started getting good.
And then, you know, they continued it going and just ruined his entire vision.
Even though they did have like a layout of how the series was going to go.
I have heard that they actually did diverge from where Monty wanted to take the series.
Which would explain why it doesn't make any sense now.
And Monty would have never left in things that just...
Okay, there were fight scenes that just made no sense
where someone...
I think Ruby was just sitting on the ground
while someone was running at one of her teammates
trying to attack them.
It's like, why don't you stop them?
You have the ability to basically teleport.
Why don't you do something?
And she's like, nah, I'm going to sit here.
I'm going to sit here.
In it, mate.
Why would I move? What's the point of that?
Oh, I could save everyone's life right now,
but that's too much effort.
So Monty wouldn't have left very obvious things like that
because he was the reason why
the things like the text fight
in Red vs. Blue were made
because he understood
how to do
fight scenes. That's what
he was good at. That's what he was doing before
Red vs. Blue was doing stuff. That's what he was
doing before RWBY existed. He understood
fight scenes.
And Rooster Teeth understood
how to make a fight scene
look cool, not how to make
a fight scene make sense if that
if that makes sense like you can make a kung fu fight for example look really cool but you know
really the fight makes literally no sense it's just the fact that usually kung fu fights are
so cool that you don't care about that in the the case of Ruby though, they're like moderately cool.
Like Jason Statham movie kind of cool.
Nothing super impressive you haven't
seen before, but still cool enough
to grab your attention I think would be
a good way to put it.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to
keep watching Ruby because I'm like
what's the latest season? Six?
Ruby. What is the latest? Seven.
Seven's apparently the latest one.
Ruby, I guess it came out
and I just didn't see it.
Oh no, that was
last season. Season seven
was the last, the one that came out
last year. I guess season
eight started and I just never watched it.
I guess it's probably finished because it came out six
months ago. Okay.
Yeah, I guess
I'll go watch that at some point.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm seven seasons in.
Seven, eight seasons in.
I guess I should finish it.
It's my Crystar problem all over again.
I'm already so far in it.
I might as well.
Eh. Oh, Lord.
Actually, something fun.
So, apparently, Terraria is a very old game right now.
Terraria apparently came out 10 years ago.
And we have the final update of Terraria that came out...
What? A couple of years back?
It was the final update.
It was the final content update. They've still been doing occasional
updates here and there to
fix bugs. And with the
10th year anniversary,
or 10 year anniversary,
not 10th year, the 10 year anniversary,
they decided to do
a bit of a fresh update,
add some celebration seeds in.
They're actually kind of cool. I haven't actually looked at
the seeds themselves, but
I'm so surprised Terraria's been around
for 10 years. I remember playing that game when it
first came out. Remember
pirating the game
and
playing it during the first
update, to be honest. Seeing it
seeing how much it's
improved, like, it's, it's one of those games that, it was fun when it first came out, but there's been
so much free content that, there's been so much free content for that game that makes it something
you can always come back to and always enjoy. Let's see if we can find...
That's an ad. I'm not going to show you the ad. You guys do not even get to see the company
it's going to be an ad of because I don't want to give them any more attention than they deserve.
Let's see these celebration seeds. Show me a celebration. Oh, we're loading a world. Let's
see what this world is. Thank you to Chippy Gaming. Wow, the're loading a world. Let's see what this world is. Uh, thank you to Chippy Gaming.
Um, wow, the loading screen looks so different from what I've seen before. Oh, that's cool.
They've got, like, they've got hats on. Haha, that's neat. Oh, so it's like a party world.
That's actually really cool. I wonder if there's, like, anything special, um, like, under the map
or something like that.
So this is basically just a celebration world.
That's cool.
All the NPCs are here.
You get to see what's going on.
I like that.
That's cute.
I need to go back and play Terraria.
It's been a long time since I've played it.
I'm sure since the last time I played it, there's been a lot of updates actually made to the game.
it. There's been a lot of updates actually made to the game. Just looking at this person's
equipment bar, I can already see there's been a lot of updates to the game.
I remember when the final boss of the game was the boss in the temple thing towards the edge of the map i remember when that was the final boss when like the big skeleton dude would come out that was the final boss at
one point then there was like a mecha version of that then i think there was like other bosses as
well man i'm so happy with like how much free content you got for Terraria. That game is worth so much
more than you pay for it. Like how much is Terraria actually worth on Steam
right now? Is Terraria a ripoff of Minecraft? What
are you saying? It is $10. Nope, I don't want to play that audio. It is $10 for
Terraria. I guess $ dollars if you're in australia
that is so cheap this game can give you like what maybe you probably get like 40 or 50 hours
of content out of this for ten dollars that's mental uh let's let's have a look at the bosses
on the wiki so the final boss when i was originally playing was this guy here, the Skeletron.
But now what is it? There's pre-hard mode bosses. Okay, sure. So we have the King Slime,
the Eye of Cthulhu. Yeah, that was a fun one. Eater of Worlds. That was also a fun boss. Especially once you got yourself a...
What was it? A Ball and Chain.
That was this easy boss after that.
The Brain of Cthulhu.
Now it's a B, apparently.
Wall of Flesh. That wasn't there when I originally played,
but that was a fun boss when that came out.
Hard Mode bosses. Then there are like...
Mecha versions of bosses.
There's like the Queen Slime,
the Destroyer, which is a mecha version,
Skeletron Prime.
Wow, there's so many
bosses now. What the hell? The Moon Lord.
That is the new final
boss, apparently. Huh.
And there are event bosses, so...
Ah!
So when like like, certain...
certain times
in the game happen,
there's a pumpkin moon now, apparently. Wow.
Okay. There are all of these
other bosses. That's so cool.
There are so many
bosses! What the hell?
Oh my god,
that's crazy. Okay.
I need to go back to this game. I think
there's probably like 10 more bosses here since
I last played. I think I played
like 6 years ago. That was the last time I played.
I can't
even imagine how much content has been
added since then.
Man.
This is a game that's worth
your time.
Maybe I should play Terraria and just never stream anything besides Terraria.
I could do it.
I wouldn't get bored of the game.
There's always new stuff to do.
I don't even know how long it would take to get to the final boss in Terraria now. Let's see if Time to Beat has a thing on Terraria.
Time to Beat Terraria now. Let's see if Time to Beat has a thing on Terraria. Time to Beat Terraria.
I can't imagine it would because it is like a
um
apparently people have
apparently people have
done it. The main
story, so getting to like the final boss
50 hours
90 hours for main plus extras
181
for like getting like
everything
I think this is worth some time
$10
and that's 181 hours of
maybe not 181 hours completionist runs are crazy
but this one 90 hours
90 hours of good content for
$10.
I don't know if ReLogic is even doing anything
else. Like, I think
they're just living off of the money that
Terraria has brought
in. Like, I've still got Terraria
on, like, their home screen here.
The page was last updated in 2017.
That's hilarious.
Um,
what else is ReLogic doing doing they have a game called pixel piracy
never heard of that one before or pixel privateers terraria honestly though like
terraria will give you a lot of money like that being the developers of that game like
sort of a lot of money uh, so there has been some updates
since then. There's been
Steam Workshop support.
That's another thing. It now has
Steam Workshop mod support. Like, that's
insane.
What the hell?
There's resource packs.
You can do anything you want
in this game now.
Having mod support in a game like this means that you get infinite content.
I wouldn't be surprised if they try to follow up Terraria.
I hope they, if they do, if they do try to do like a Terraria 2,
that they really consider what they're doing.
I'd be.
I think it'd be probably better to like.
Hey it's Journey's end.
But like maybe the Journey didn't end.
And we're going to continue actually updating it.
I could see them actually doing that.
Like bringing some hype.
If they decided they were going to re-update Terraria.
And continue developing it.
That would bring so much hype back to the game.
Maybe they're going to wait a couple of years and then do it then.
But it's such
a money train. The fact that they would just
be like, yeah, it's done now.
It's done. We don't need it anymore.
The game's complete.
That would take so much self-control for
a company making this much money
to actually do.
It's crazy.
These devs are crazy. The fact that they decided to just stop developing a game that everybody loves. You gotta be, you gotta be a, you gotta
have some balls to do that. You really do. Wait, what does that say? Did I just see something that said 35 million?
Oh, okay.
Well, that's why they're not developing anymore.
Because they sold 35 million copies.
Okay, maybe they're just like,
yeah, we have enough money.
We just don't need to work for the rest of our lives.
To be fair, if that's the reason why they stopped,
I can respect that.
It's like, yeah, we've got enough money.
It's fine. Why would we
keep developing it?
Game is complete.
We have
$350 million.
We're all good.
And it probably
costs more on consoles anyway.
I can respect that. I can respect that.
I can respect that a lot, actually.
You know what? I take back what I said.
I take back what I said,
that they're crazy for not developing it.
If you have $350 million,
you don't have to work.
I know they are still porting it to new things
that are coming out. It's like, hey,
games on Stadia, or games on Next Gen.
Actually, is it on PS5?
If it's not on PS5, it'll be coming to PS5.
Terraria.
PS5.
It's on the PS4.
And it's probably coming to PS5 at some point.
There are things on the
forum about it, but
surely...
Also, the PS4
is backwards compatible, isn't it?
Ah, yes, yes, it is.
Yeah, of course.
That would make sense.
Yeah.
So probably won't do it.
But you can play it on PS5.
It's like Minecraft.
Minecraft is one of those games that has so much momentum
that, like, you don't need to work on it anymore.
Actually, how many copies of Minecraft have been sold?
Because I feel like it's's gonna be a dumb number. Like a really dumb number.
Copies of Minecraft sold? Oh. Oh, this is year by year. Oh. Oh, I thought it meant 200 million sold.
No, 200 million sold in 2020. And it's gaining popularity now why is minecraft
gaining popularity again ah dream that's why right i hadn't considered that yes because people like
dream exist now uh minecraft is gaining popularity again this is like the level of money where you don't need to work again. 200 million copies in a year?
That's like...
That's like fuck you money.
Let's say...
Minecraft isn't sold for $10 either.
Minecraft is like, what, $30?
How much is Minecraft?
Minecraft...
Not Microsoft.
But also Microsoft.
And Microsoft isn't going to stop developing it
because Microsoft
you know, loves money
they can never have enough money
Minecraft
oh yeah, they've also got like Minecraft dungeons
as well, don't they? And Minecraft Earth
whatever that is, get Minecraft
how much is Minecraft? For computer
thank you, For PC.
Sure, whatever.
Okay, yep.
Java Edition.
Thank you.
35 Australian dollars.
So what?
25 US?
Something like that?
For players in South Korea,
you must be 19 years of age or older
to purchase and play the Java Edition of Minecraft.
Imagine having Minecraft having a 19 plus age rating.
What the hell?
That's strange.
Why does it have that?
I have to look that up.
Huh.
But the Windows edition, the one that no one plays, that one is $30.
So let's just say $30 all round.
That's, what's that?
$6 billion?
Wait, did I do my numbers correctly?
Yes, $6 billion a year.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What? What? What? What? What? Those are dumb num- like that- that is a dumb number. That is a dumb number that doesn't
make any sense. Surely I've- wait no. Surely I've done that wrong. 300 million times like six- wait.
Also 200 million? Am I dumb? Can I not do maths? Wait, I need to check this.
Okay, that's 200 million.
Times by 30.
No, that's correct.
1, 10, 100,000, 10,000, 100,000, million, 10 million, 100 million.
Yeah, no, that's... Wait, 1, 10, 100,000 million, 10 million, 100 million. Yeah, no, that's, that's, that's, that's, wait,
1,100,000, 10,000, 100,000 million, 10, yeah, no, that's 6 billion dollars. 6 billion dollars a year.
What? What? What? How much money do you need, Microsoft? How much money do you need?
Microsoft net worth. What is the net worth of Microsoft?
A lot, probably.
One trillion dollars?
What? At what point do you decide as a company,
we have enough money?
At what point does that happen?
Like, is it a billion dollars? Is it a hundred billion?
A trillion? How much money do you really need? Like, what is a trillion dollars? You could buy
a country for that. Like, literally buy a country for that. What is... what? So much money. I can't even fathom how much money that is.
100... What is that? $100,000 in $100 bills. Here's a good example. I know...
Uh, let's see.
Let's see.
This is $100,000.
Oh, no, this is $1,000,000.
Okay, this is $1,000,000 as a cube of $100 bills.
So,
$10,000,000 is 10 times that.
$100,000,000 is 100 times that. Are million is 100 times that.
Are you understanding
how stupid this is?
That's only 100 million.
So...
Wait.
100...
So...
A trillion is 100,000
times more than 1 million is that is that right
something like that that's a lot that's really big that's like that's like neighborhood size big
so stupid how much money do you need though like genuinely genuinely how much money do you need
i don't know maybe when you're a company that big it's like you're not even looking at the How much money do you need though? Like genuinely. Genuinely how much money do you need?
I don't know.
Maybe when you're a company that big.
It's like you're not even looking at the numbers anymore.
You just want your numbers to go up.
As long as the.
Or you're not even looking at numbers.
You're just looking at a bar.
As long as the bar is green.
The bar is good.
If the bar is not green.
The bar is not good.
But like this is the problem with having investors. Who are always trying to make more money.
It's like at a hundred trillion dollars. No one could ever spend that much money. Even if you always trying to make more money. So, like, at a hundred
trillion dollars, no one could ever spend that much money, even if you were trying to spend that
money. Like, literally buying Lamborghinis every day. Wait, okay. How much is a Lamborghini? Let's
find this out. Lamborghini. What is the Lamborghini everyone buys?
um that one
the
the Aventador, that's the one
the Aventador is the one that all of the
all of the influencers on
TikTok have, yeah that's the one
yeah yeah yeah, that's the one
how much is a Lamborghini
Aventador
Lamborghini Aventador? Uh, Lamborghini Aventador price.
So that is 800,000 Australian dollars. Let's go US price because we're going with US dollars.
So the US price is not the Australian price. That is not what I searched for.
Um.
um probably more than you think sure that's that's the answer i didn't care about lamborghini aventador 2021 model okay that's the number we can work for
oh we can work with 450 000
let's go with 450 that's the middle of Okay, so, how many zeros are in a trillion?
That's 100,000, 10,000, 100,000, million, 10,000,000, 100,000,000, billion, 10,000,000, 100,000,000,000, trillion, divided by 450,000.
Okay, okay.
Now, this number here, this is two million, two hundred and twenty two thousand, two hundred and two.
Okay, that means that you could literally buy a new Lamborghini every single day for how many years divided by 365
you could buy a new lamborghini for 6 000 years every single day
that's how much money that is what the how just just fathathom are you understanding like how stupid
a trillion dollars is
you could buy a new Lamborghini
every single day for 6,000
years and
not have run out of money yet
what
this is what I mean when I say you can't spend What?
This is what I mean when I say you can't spend...
Obviously, it's not all in liquid money.
A lot of what Microsoft has is in assets.
But if you sold everything
Microsoft has, that's what net worth is.
That's too much.
That's just too much.
I don't understand. I don't understand.
I don't know.
As I said, maybe there's something that happens
to your brain when you get that rich
and when you have a company that successful.
It has to be more successful.
Just having
the current level of success
is not enough success.
That's just not allowed.
Not to say that you can't be successful.
Not to say that you're not allowed to have a trillion dollars.
But there has to come a point where you're like,
maybe we should do, like, I don't know,
maybe we should solve the hunger crisis in some country out there.
Maybe that would be for the best.
Maybe not just like doing.
A bit of you know.
Because Bill Gates is definitely a philanthropist.
But.
He's at the point where he could literally.
Solve world hunger.
Like.
Literally solve world hunger
with how much money he has
that's how stupid it is
like no
that's not profitable
if you're going to be a philanthropist you have to make money off of it
that is the Bill Gates way
anyway
that's enough ranting about
Bill Gates.
I want to end off this...
Before I lose all my YouTube ads on my main channel.
I want to end this off with a good note.
Hololive. Hololive English.
Hololive English is great.
I love Hololive English.
And the Hololive English girls decided to do a cover of a song. They decided
to do a cover of the song, Take Me Home, Country Roads. Now why did they decide to cover this?
I know why, because this little gremlin right here, this little gremlin, Galgura, is a member
of Hololive English. Now, I think I've talked about who Galgura
is. Galgura,
otherwise known in a previous
life as the one and only
Senzawa,
who
is famous for the song
Okidoki Boomer, which
I guarantee you've heard, because that's the one
where you had the birdie girl
dancing around. you've heard, because that's the one where you had the birdie girl dancing around.
You've heard the song.
I'm not going to sing it, but you've heard the song.
Now, Senzawa also did a Take Me Home.
There we go.
She also did a cover of Country Road.
that she also did a cover
of Country Road. But
when Senzawa did it,
she was very drunk.
Now,
this gremlin,
this gremlin
is now this gremlin.
And this gremlin decided
that this needed
to happen. And it's amazing.
Even though Amelia Watson is not a great singer,
didn't hurt it.
All of the rest of them, great singers.
Gura, great singer.
Calliope, great singer.
Takanashi Kiyoda, great singer.
Ina, great singer.
Even if she did do the really bad cover of Unravel,
the Tokyo Ghoul opening.
Amelia is getting better, though.
This is great. I highly recommend better, though. This is great.
I highly recommend listening to this.
It's adorable.
And it will make your day brighter.
Or just go and listen to Amelia sing it by herself.
That also works.
Or you could listen to Gura sing it as well by herself.
I don't know why they love this song so much.
It's a great song.
But I don't know why they love it so much.
Yes. Hololive
English is great. I could probably do an entire podcast
just talking about Hololive English,
and I've done livestreams
like that, basically, so it wouldn't be any different,
really.
Really wouldn't be any different, so maybe I'll have to do
that at some point. Maybe I need to bring on someone
who's just as much of a Hololive
fan as I am, or just VTuber fan in
general, and just do that
talk about Mousy, talk about Nyanas
talk about Veibay, talk about
Snuffy, all of the Hololive girls
talk about Nijisanji
whatever sort of VTuber
stuff comes up
because VTubers are the future, just accept it
VTubers are the future
they will take over all of the platforms
I'm waiting for some like TikTok VTubers wait, does. They will take over all of the platforms. I'm waiting for some TikTok VTubers.
Wait, does that exist yet?
Surely it has to.
Surely there are VTubers on TikTok.
TikTok VTuber.
Okay, so you have...
You have some of the Hololive girls
on
TikTok, but you don't actually have any
TikTokers who are VTubers.
Sadly.
Get on that, guys.
That will be the next big thing. I guarantee it.
Why they are not Ori on
TikTok
is beyond me.
Because that is how you get the
what are the
new generation? The Gen A's?
The generation alpha?
The alpha generation?
That's how you get them big in on VTubers.
And then the world explodes.
Because no one
wants to work real jobs. Everyone wants to be
on the internet. On that note,
I'm ending today's podcast.
Me, the one who is on the internet all the time.
Because I am a VTuber.
No, I'm not a VTuber.
That's not my secret.
I'm a YouTuber, apparently.
I'm a content creator, as one may say.
I don't say influencer because influencer implies that I have no talent.
And I don't want to let people in on my secret that I have no talent.
So we go with content creator instead.
Anyway, that is going to be everything for today's podcast.
I'm probably going to go and render this and then do the clips tomorrow
because it is 10.20pm right now.
And I don't think I have time to do both tonight.
And I don't want to stay up late because I've got a dead cell stream
first thing in the morning.
So, that's going to be pretty much everything
for me. Before I go,
I would like to thank
my supporters, all of the
beautiful, beautiful people that I'm
going to compliment while I stall
to bring up my list.
Special thank you to
Yoakim, Donald, Logan, Michael, Andrew, Nathan,
David, Carl, Will, Brennan, Chica, Bento, Jamie, Joseph, Josh, Mitchell, Peter, Stephen, Tears, The Rude, Tony, Tushar, and all of my $2 supporters.
A special thank you to all of those beautiful people.
They're all lovely.
I love all of you.
Every single one of you.
From the top tier to the bottom tier, you're all beautiful people.
I don't know how long I'm going to drag this out for.
Go check out my main channel.
That is Brody Robertson.
Where I do Linux-y videos that are much more planned than this.
And I am far less tired when I'm doing them.
Even though I do get quite angry while recording.
Because I know that I can do better.
And then I fuck up the recording.
And they take longer than they should.
But that is something you don't see.
Because I cut it out of the video.
Because I know how to edit videos.
I've got my gaming channel. Where I do gaming stuff twice a week, Thursday, Friday.
Directly after this comes out, actually, there will be a live stream.
It'll probably be a Crystar live stream unless I decide that I don't want to suffer anymore and I go play something else.
But it will probably be a Crystar live stream.
I've also got this podcast available as an audio release.
If you're not listening to that version already,
that is available anywhere
you can find audio podcasts. Just search
Tech over T and you will
find it. And I have also
got the video
release on YouTube and Odyssey.
So, that's going to be
everything for me. I
am going to turn these lights off because
I am blind right now.
I really need to get a better, a better,
a better thingy that
goes on the camera. A lens. A better lens
that I can turn the lights down further
for and be
chiller. Because right now this light is at
what is this light at? This light is at
34%. And
34% is
quite bright
as you may not know, but
actually no, if we turn this off, you'll see how bright it is
that's how bright it is
that's how bright that light is
so, anyway
enough rambling
that is the end, see you guys later
peace out, love you all
I don't know how to end this, but we're gonna end it
like that
how do I do a click?
there we go
