Tech Over Tea - Over Produced Mess - Tech Over Tea #17 - feat 1R1SHMAN04
Episode Date: June 26, 2020On today's episode of Tech Over Tea I bring on one of my good friends Nicholas who goes by 1R1SHMAN04 online and as always when I bring one of my mates on we just talk about basically nothing for near...ly 4 hours, honestly, but if you do care about some of the topics we talk a bit about Nick's experience teaching, ridiculous things that have happened in retail, a bit about plans after university and then Discord crashes in the middle of the show so as always it's an interesting experience. ==========Purchase My Gear========== ► Buy Anything: https://amzn.to/3d5gykF ==========Support The Channel========== ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brodierobertson ► Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BrodieRobertsonVideo ► BTC Wallet Address: 1Aokiv3pFQXUEmh2LbzZQAwxMvq6bpT2UN ► ETH Wallet Address: 0x80451867c86bdf08c3888d407c1e3fcb6add61ed ► LBC Wallet Address: bLRN9fm17sCexKfgbYqmMj5xskZF2ogpEh ==========Video Release========== 📚 LBRY: https://open.lbry.com/@TechOverTea:3 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBq5p-xOla8xhnrbhu8AIAg 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.

You were supposed to clap at the same time.
I was supposed to clap at the same time? I thought we were going to use the audio.
3, 2, 1.
That was so delayed.
I'll work it out by when your mouth starts moving.
Welcome to episode 17 of Tech of a T.
This is the most overproduced episode of this show that you'll ever see.
Welcome to the show, Nick.
Thanks for welcoming me, Brody.
How's it been? Long time no see.
It has been a while, hasn't it?
I think the last time I saw you would have been...
I think a week or so before all the shutdown.
Because I remember seeing you just after you finished teaching a class.
Yeah, because I came at AGPU after one one of my um eye dye classes no it wasn't
i didn't see you there i saw you after i was walking out the uh the vr room i think that
was the last time oh yeah so you were still like standing in the classroom i think maybe that wasn't
even the last time because i know that day you didn't like didn't you have like everyone leave
early or something like that um yeah was that was that like week one or week three? I don't know what week it was, it was
a while ago, that's for sure. Yeah, um, week one everyone left super early, I only taught
for like half an hour in each class, and it was a two hour class. Oh, maybe it was after
that I saw you then. So how has that teaching experience been going? I don't know if I've told you this yet,
but I haven't told the good people at Tech Over Tea.
So I found out that I was teaching less than a week
before I started teaching.
Because I have, for my ICT project in my last year of uni,
I did a project in the VR lab.
Well, not the VR lab.
There's a name for it.
The W building.
W building has a name and it's like human interaction something.
Yeah.
Wearable, I think people are calling it.
Yeah.
So there was a project I was doing in there with HoloLens.
And once I'd finished that project,oss smith associate professor ross smith
came up to me and said hey do you want to continue this project as an internship so i i said sure
did a 10-week internship and in my last few weeks the guy who sat behind me at my desk at w building
said hey i can no longer teach do you want to do my teaching I'm
like uh sure I don't know what I'm teaching but sure okay just text Ross and tell him you're
gonna teach I'm like okay so I text Ross because I already have the number because I'm doing an
internship for him anyway text him and like hey uh Tom said that if you need help teaching I
I can do the teaching he said sure I sure, I'll see you on Friday.
Friday came around.
I went into a meeting with him at 10 a.m. in his office.
He's like, all right, do you have any questions?
Yeah, what am I teaching?
Like, what course am I teaching?
What do I actually have to do?
Do I have to talk in front of, like, the several classrooms?
Because it was in F22
which is like the
four rooms that are all connected.
Yeah, the Mac labs.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, I just fucking didn't know.
And so he gave me like a quick
explanation. I'm like,
sounds easy enough.
I was like, okay, so we don't actually have
the assignment released yet.
This was Friday. Wait, did it change much from the
year before?
Not particularly. Like, the entire
thing changed. It was a different
topic.
So when we did it, it was
the aged care facility.
And we pretty much are doing the exact same thing
but instead of an aged care facility, it's a
hospital that have an MRI scanning machine.
Right, okay.
And so you're doing the exact same thing.
You're making all the personas and all that.
Mm-hmm.
Same assignment.
Are you still using, what was it?
JavaFX.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it is JavaFX.
For some reason, I learned Swing before that course,
thinking it was going to be a Swing course,
and they changed it just as the course started. That year was the first year to java effects yeah so yeah that was fun um but yeah so i went into my first class
and all i knew was the assignment is not released yet because he hadn't released it yet
and make students into groups and then tell them what a persona is and that was the entirety
of my content for my first class so i walked in wrote my name on the board with a with a marker
and now from like who's this student he looked younger than us yeah exactly a lot a lot of them
are older than me it's really fucking weird um so i'm like hey guys my name's nick you can call me nick and then yeah and then you're like i don't know what to do anymore i'm sorry if i seem
underprepared i am underprepared i learned about this teaching job four days ago um this week we
don't have much content all we're going to be doing is uh i'll teach you what a persona is
uh you should already know what a persona is Because you did personas in whatever course it was
System analysis or whatever
Yeah, one of those
That they did last semester
Or maybe it was ITPM?
Maybe?
No, they haven't done ITPM yet, I don't think
Okay, yeah, so it would have been
Maybe they have
No, no, no, they have because they're second years
Second year, first
Yeah, of course, second year, first semester
So they would have done
What would they have done?
They would have done systems analysis, ITPM and DTDI
Okay
And I think it's DTDI where they did personas
Unless they blocked out all of DTDI like I did
They already knew what they were
I didn't have access to the streaming thingy
To put it up on the boards
I'm like, everyone just Google persona
And then click on images
And then click on the third image there.
That's a good example. Beautiful.
The one that says like Henry,
whatever the name is.
That's the good one.
It's made up of these things. You've got to fill out
these boxes, information, bio, whatever.
Exit from the groups
for the group assignment. I can't tell you what the assignment is yet
because the spec is not released yet,
but I can only assume it's similar to what we did
two years ago when I did the course.
And then I gave a short explanation of what that was.
It's JavaFX, and you make different windows,
and everyone works together, and blah, blah, blah.
And then someone said, what size are the groups?
That's always a good start, isn't it?
And I'm like, oh shit, what size are the groups?
So I had to text Ross? And I'm like, oh shit, what size is the group? So I had to text Ross and I was like,
hey Ross, someone just asked me what size the group's are.
And I'm like, okay, he hasn't responded yet.
So mexico group's are four.
That should be fine.
There are 20 students in the class, four group.
Four person group.
Sounds good.
Did you actually have 20 people in the class?
Did they all show up?
So I've got three classes, 20 people in each,
and I think I got 20, 19, and 18 show up.
That's actually pretty good.
Well, it is first week, so usually you get...
First week, you kind of have to show up, yeah.
The only people that didn't show up
are the people that were still travelling to Australia.
They hadn't actually arrived yet.
And of course, Gemma was late, because it's Gemma.
She messaged me on Facebook, like, 20 minutes after the class started,
and was like, hey, I'm still coming.
I'm in the library.
That must be weird, teaching people that you actually know.
It's so fucking weird.
What was his name?
He did...
He was teaching for the Android course.
I don't know.
Uh, he was one of the, I think he was a year above us. Um.
Oh, Ben? Ben Schwartz?
No, it wasn't that, um, he looked like he'd fit right in a punk band.
Hmm. that he looked like he'd fit right in a punk band.
I don't remember his name.
He was also the lecturer for that course.
Who am I thinking of?
Which Android course was this?
Is this mobile game development? Yeah.
Or was it game or app?
I didn't do mobile app.
I did mobile game.
Which one was mobile game?
No, mobile app was the iOS course.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Yeah, mobile game.
Because, yeah, we were sitting right across from each other in that class.
Yeah.
And I worked with...
What's his name?
I have an internet connection here.
Why don't I look it up?
Yeah, I'm looking it up as we speak.
What's the course called?
I just said what it was, but...
This is quality content.
Was it a third year?
It's fine.
Anyone who would have stopped watching
has already stopped watching now.
To be honest,
I think that was actually the strongest start
I've ever had to an episode.
Nice.
Usually we just stumble around for a bit.
Mobile game development.
I have the course website here, and I can't see the lecturer's name.
Oh, that's weird.
Michael.
Michael Stouffer.
Oh, yes.
I completely forgot he existed.
The guy that looks like McCree
Yeah yeah
I don't know I guess I can show you guys
The thing I've got these scenes set up now
Where I can actually show people stuff on the screen
If anyone
There is one person I know who watches my channel
Who asked me about
Courses at UniSA
So I'm going to assume
They were probably a student and
probably knew who I was. I think that was when I had like 2k subs so it was weird
like don't recognize me. How many subs do you have now? Main channel I have 6.87k.
Fucking hell dude. On library... Last time I checked you had like 200 and you were very happy about having 200 I was very happy
about having 200
then I got a shout out
from Luke Smith
and that boosted me up
to like 2000 in a day
and I was like
I'm sorry what?
what just happened?
I was on holiday
like I was
holidaying my parents
place at the time
I woke up
checked my phone
I was like
what just happened?
where did
is this my channel
I'm looking at here?
Is this not some other guy called Brody Robertson?
That was absolutely insane when that happened.
And then it's just been a constant stream upwards from there.
And today I've actually got a video that just came out.
I got the notification this morning, 6.30am.
Yeah.
Fuck, dude.
I don't upload.
Well, I don't.
I'm not awake then.
I schedule them. It's good for american time um but a couple i think about a week or so ago um
luke did a video called i think let me find it uh as he is he's some other he's one of the bigger
linux guys i think he's on like 90k right now
So and that's actually like pretty big for a Linux channel. There's only maybe three or four that are above 100k
So he did a video, where the hell's the video? Does your window manager swallow?
which
Is a great name for a video
and then today I basically was like,
oh, this is the only window manager that can do this feature.
And I made a video basically responding to that.
And now that video is one of my best performing videos right now.
I think I titled it something like,
yes, Luke, my window manager does swallow or something like that,
which is,
yes,
Luke,
my window manager also swallows.
Yeah,
there we go.
Oh no,
I broke my scene.
Uh,
uh,
shit.
Okay.
Well,
I guess we can't see,
um,
shit.
Professional YouTuber here.
I closed my web browser.
Uh,
I think we can fix this.
Anyway, you'll, you'll talk about teaching. I closed my web browser. I think we can fix this. Anyway.
You're talking about teaching.
Go back to that while I try to recover this.
Yeah.
So, what was I talking about?
Week one.
Really fun.
Okay.
So, yeah.
I got everyone into groups of four because I'm like, groups of four sounds good.
And then everyone got into groups of four. They all got into their of four sounds good and then if i'm going to groups
of four they all like got into their table rows so they're all together and then i get the text
back from ross groups of five please uh like hey um i'm not gonna worry about it it's fine i can
manage um luckily by the end of the week everyone had
like emailed me and was like hey the specs now released and the spec says we can have four to
five in a group can we now just like upgrade our group so that we're all fives i'm like
sure if you want to make fives that's upgrade your group that's funny they're still second years
they want extra people in their group. Oh my god.
Here's the thing
about that assignment.
If it's anything like
when I did it,
there wasn't enough work
for four people.
Yeah, yeah, no,
there's not.
I don't know if I should
name drop students.
As long as you say
first names,
they're not
saying anything.
Yeah, okay.
Also, don't be mean
because you are still teaching,
so don't be mean to the you are still teaching, so...
Don't be mean to the students.
It's not mean.
Jack knows what he's doing.
So, there's a group Discord server that I'm in.
It's, like, one of the student groups.
It's got five people in it.
And Jack in there is constantly being like,
how much work do I have to do to pass?
Like, what's the minimum have to do to pass?
What's the minimum I can do to pass?
Just do the same work as the rest of your group, because this is an easy assignment.
Oh my god.
So he's just done the login screen, and he wants to make it super basic and just... Oh, but if I just do the login screen, that's all I did in the document.
Yeah, but your group's designing like 20 screens.
Everyone's doing really nice-looking screens with good animations,
and you want to do the login screen.
You put in any password, any username, click continue,
and that's all the screen does.
It doesn't check between an array of passwords and usernames to get the right one. If you leave it blank and click submit,
it'll just do it. He wants me to pass him for doing that much work for the assignment.
Well, so if anyone listening, this is a UI development course. It's not like a proper
programming course, so it's okay to do the the array of passwords before anyone says that's a terrible idea that's like like we've told people like hard code whatever you want don't make a
database that looks up people from a database transforms into code just hard code put an object
on the screen it's basically like a prototyping course pretty much yeah but yeah he wants he
wants to do like that much No
That's not good enough
I will fail you
Like
I'm not afraid to fail you
Like I'll do it
That's
I'll fucking do it again
That is awesome
I love that
Yeah
But it's great
Because I'm allowed to
Talk to him like that
On Discord
Because Discord isn't
An official communication channel
So like When I'm on Zoom with them i'm like very held back very relaxed then we get out of the
zoom call into discord jack what the fuck are you doing i love that you can still do that it's great
like it's nice to have some people who are still sane in the uh as a teacher because a lot of them they they don't
seem human a lot of them seem like they've been in the university system for so long
that it's just like how do i speak like a normal person yeah yeah like doug for example he's a he's
a cool dude adam is also cool but then then you have others where it's like, are you actually a person? Like, what are you saying right now?
Do you actually talk like this in the real world?
Yeah, yeah.
I've tried to, like, be professional in the introduction to my Zoom.
Like, how I run my Zoom meeting now, once we've stopped being in person,
is 9, 10
if my class is
9 to 11, I'll do
9, 10, good morning everyone
thanks for coming today, I've split you up into
your four breakout rooms, I'll see you all soon
and then I'll open the rooms, everyone will join
and then I'll get into the group one
and be like, wobble up a dub dub gamers
I was going to ask you how you managed to actually handle the tutorial classes,
because it would have been a complete hassle,
or a complete mess to do it in one big group.
Yeah, so I don't do tutorials, I do practicals.
Oh, whatever it is you do, yeah.
So I run a practical session where everyone just works on their group assignment.
So mine's super easy, because they just work on their group assignment.
So I do four breakout rooms, one for each group.
And then at 9.10, I'll open the rooms.
Then I'll jump into room one for 15 minutes
and then I'll have a five minute break.
And then I'll jump into room two for 15 minutes,
five minute break, all that for all four groups.
And that'll get me after my fourth five minute break,
that'll be 10 30 and
then i've got half an hour there where anyone can click ask for help and then i'll join back into
the okay meeting and give them extra help yeah because i haven't been attending any of my zoom
classes so i didn't have any idea how they worked yeah yeah um so when you get sorted to a breakout
room you can either be in the main session or in your room. Mm-hmm.
And yeah, or like the chat is all private to that room.
Right.
So you can like share files and all that in your room and then other people can't look
at your stuff.
Well, private assuming that Zoom's encryption works.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, private in the fact that if no one's hacking it, then the other groups can't see
your stuff.
Yeah. You alright there? I'm dying. if no one's hacking it, then the other groups can't see your stuff.
Yeah.
You alright there?
I'm dying.
Wonderful.
Good start to the show.
Do you actually know how Zoom's encryption used to work?
I have no idea. I haven't looked into Zoom at all.
Okay, so they were doing, um...
They were doing, like, a proper encryption method.
I think they were doing, like, SHA-256 or something like that.
But what they were doing was they were generating the private key on the Zoom server
and then sending the private key out to everyone.
Which is not how a private key works.
So they all shared the same private key
that was being sent over the internet,
not encrypted.
Even I know how that works.
I don't do any security stuff.
Yeah, it's a stupid idea.
Just making a git setup,
you've got to make your own private key
and then you get out the public key.
That's how keys work.
In a video chat system, what you're supposed to
do is generate the private keys on the clients, and then the server has their own private
key and they encrypt stuff on either side with their private keys and can unencrypt
it with the public keys. That's how it works. Basic stuff Look if you get a build in backdoors
Don't just
Make it a backdoor
Don't just make it the main entrance
So have you been enjoying the teaching experience
How's that actually been
Yeah so it's been weird
Like with the fact that I've got
Discord and all that with all my students.
It's kind of, like, they can contact me any time, so now I'm invisible constantly.
Yeah, I've told them that, like, I won't respond on weekends, and then weekends come around and they message me, and I'm like, ah.
Especially the weekend the assignment's due.
and they message me and I'm like... Especially the weekend the assignment's due.
Yeah, especially like Sunday when it's due
and they all message me at like 9am or like 4pm
or like callsignx did at like 7pm.
Callsignx as in the Discord name,
the actual student's name.
No, that's the actual student's name,
the legal name.
Legal name, yeah.
So they'll message me and I'll try to get back to them immediately, but it's
not always possible, because sometimes I'm playing RuneScape on Minecraft.
Well, look, you're not getting paid, so...
Yeah, I mean, I get paid for an hour of work each week outside of the practical class,
and I've probably done eight hours of work outside the prac class
for the past six weeks.
Is that because you want to do it, or because you
want to keep the teaching thing going?
No, just because people
message me and like, hey, my shit doesn't
work. And you're too nice, basically.
Yeah, I'm
a nice guy.
I'll just jump into Discord and be like, yo,
what up, screen share?
Yeah, you fucking broke it there.
You're not using the right thing.
Like a pain doesn't have that kind of function.
Or here, let me Google JavaFX,
fix the problem that you have.
Oh, look, here's the answer.
So with that course,
I don't remember how it was structured.
I know you had the one big assignment.
Was that the only assignment
or was there one before that?
So you've got the one huge assignment that you essentially start in week two
and it goes all the way through.
Then there's the exam.
Oh, it's an exam.
And you have the practical one, the post-it note.
Right.
Oh, post-it note.
Okay, so you're still doing that one.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So everyone does the post-it note individually,
and then you've got the one big assignment.
The one big assignment is split into two parts.
So phase one to four is all design document,
and then you've got phase five,
which is implementing all the stuff
that you wrote in your design document,
and then phase six is making a video.
Right, that makes sense.
Like how the application works,
and then how you've implemented all this stuff from your document. That makes Right, that makes sense. How the application works and then how you've implemented
all this stuff from your document.
That makes sense.
And we got marked down
because sections of our document
looked like it was scrolling
through a Word document
and it seemed like that
because it was.
What?
Wait, what?
You don't remember the video
that we definitely edited ourselves
and didn't just make Cade do it all?
I don't remember. No. That definitely edited ourselves and didn't just make Cade do it all? I don't remember.
No.
That was a long time ago.
Yeah.
I forgot that we even did that class together.
I think Brody were in a group for that assignment.
Yeah, I forgot about that, to be honest.
Yeah.
Yeah, so we were in a group for that,
and you did all of the, like...
The hard stuff.
...base code, so all the, like, the window switching stuff.
So I used to do too much work back then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This was before you decided that I only get marked for the things that I do.
My group mates get marked for the things that they do.
So yeah, you did all that.
And then we just made our own screen each.
And then all functionality was already there to switch screens.
Because I think I wanted to have the ability to go back between different screens and it was just easy like that you use like a stack so that when you click back it just pops up element off
stack and you've returned to the previous screen i was so proud of that and it's such a basic thing
yeah it's so weird being a second year when you just you're suddenly you're just learning about
like data structures and all this cool stuff you can do and then you look back it's like wow
that took me i used a stack that took me like two weeks to do and it was the most basic thing on the
planet yeah like when i first started to learn like how lists work like like uh in c sharp they're
just called lists but in java they're called array
lists uh when i started to learn how they worked i'm like dude this is so much cooler than an array
and now i use it and it's like this is the basic structure like what is an array
yeah i was like that with uh with dictionaries oh yeah dictionaries dictionaries fuck
i think i think i was using a dictionary for something
that it really shouldn't be used for.
You can basically replace an array with a dictionary if you want to.
It's not a good idea.
And you just have these keys that don't make any sense.
But you're just like, dictionaries, they're so cool.
Look what I can do with them.
Yeah, I tried using a dictionary to create a UI in Unity.
It took me so long to make, and when I finally finished it,
I was like, wow, it runs a few frames faster than it used to run without that.
How much effort did you put into that?
It was probably two two days work.
That's not that bad.
By two days, I mean I was doing six hour days.
Six hours is a short day for me.
Even now, I still work way more than I should.
I just take lots more breaks.
Yeah.
See, I don't really work that much anymore aside from doing like helping with java
fx and stuff um i so i used to do all day monday and then i would just do whatever big dub shifts
big dub gave me um so now i'm doing like 9 30 to 2 30 sund, and then I might get another one or two shifts a week.
Okay.
And then I just sit here,
and I sit right here,
and play Minecraft,
mine diamonds,
play Minecraft,
mine diamonds.
Or,
or also play RuneScape.
Yes.
Oh yeah, play RuneScape, yeah. I don't know why,
I've been stumbling over my tongue
way more than normal lately.
You should see how long it takes me
to record a 10 minute video.
Yeah.
It's actually a fucking train wreck.
Just full of jump cuts.
Yeah.
But what I've noticed is I get really, really annoyed when I'm recording the video.
I'm like, this is shit.
And then I go to edit it and I listen to it.
I was like, who the hell is recording this video?
Like, what is this? I don't remember this being this good
yeah we see uh i can't listen to my own voice uh recorded it's it's it's i sound like garbage
um so and like that and like when i check when i take photos of myself i like when i'm taking
the photo i'm like fuck yeah i look amazing and i look back at the photo and i'm like that's fucking disgusting who is this i guess that's a good way to approach
you don't want to be completely up your own ass yeah um like yeah i was walking home like i got
this haircut yesterday i was on the way home i walked like a kilometer home just taking a selfie
and then looking at it and then deleting it and i'm taking a selfie and then looking at it and deleting deleting it and then taking a selfie and then looking at it
and then deleting it
because I'm like,
I need a good photo
because my current photo
on Facebook is disgusting
because I've got the
fucking double chin.
No, no.
I've got the receding chin.
Receding chin.
Yeah, yeah.
Leafy is here.
It's missing chin.
And then, yeah,
I walked like a kilometre
of just deleting
and then taking it again and deleting it and taking it again. And then I walked like a kilometre of just deleting and then taking it again
and deleting and taking it again.
And then I was like, ah, get in my backyard, because I walked all the way home.
And I'm like, just like spinning around in circles, like trying to find good lighting,
because I don't know how to take selfies.
Like, when I first met you, I couldn't imagine you doing something like that.
It's like, I just want a good photo.
I don't want it to look ugly.
It's going to be there for a few years,
because I'm not going to take the effort to take another photo of myself.
What picture do I have on Facebook right now?
I don't even use Facebook that often.
Mainly it's just for the Facebook groups, the Messenger groups.
Yeah, it's probably the real version of your...
Ah, the one I used to use on YouTube.
Yeah, okay.
Where I had the short beard and it kind of looked shit.
Yeah, it is exactly that.
It's you in your backyard, I believe.
I've hit a point now where the beard doesn't look awful.
It's passable now.
I don't know about that. I need to get a haircut and a shave as well, because look at this.
Stupid.
I got this done just before the lockdown, so I'll get it done eventually, I guess.
I don't want a COVID cut.
Yeah, I...
Look, I've always wanted cool hair.
Because whenever I get a haircut i walk
into the barber and i panic i'm just like give me that guy and then it's just like the really
short hair and that's it and then i wait until it grows long and then i go and i'm like uh give me
that guy yeah that's what i do point at the same picture on the wall every time uh so this time i
waited until it was like real like it was up to like here if i like pulled my hair out it was so long and then i went to the
barber and i'm like you know i've always wanted cool hair um but i'm too lazy to like look up
online like which hairstyles are in so can you just give me a cool hairstyle and he's like okay
you start like rattling off all these things i'm like yep sounds good just do it and have a look
see if it looks cool now he gave me like the wog haircut, where I've got, like, the...
I don't know if you can see it, but the line here.
Ah, yep.
Like, shaved the line into my head.
At least it's not the one where you have, like, the sides completely shaved and, like, the...
Oh, the sides are shaved.
Maybe it's just not coming up as much on the camera.
Yeah. The sides aren't, like, shaved bald.
They're, like, a two.
And then I've got the long, floofy hair up top.
Yeah, I think you know the one I'm talking about.
We have the sides completely shaved
and, like, the pseudo-Mohawk thing going over.
Yeah.
And it's just like, what are you doing?
So much better being on Discord now
than when I was on OBS before
because OBS
doesn't mirror your screen, so I'm like, oh, the left side of my hair looks all fucked,
and then I put my arm up and it's on the right side.
I really should actually mirror this, because in OBS I have everything mirrored, so my room's
actually backwards from the rest of my videos.
Ah, yeah.
It's not, I guess, I don't know.
It doesn't actually matter, It's probably better like this.
Because now if I raise my left hand, it's actually my left hand.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I'm usually like, oh, on my right.
And it's left to those guys.
So, eh.
But also, you can't read my shirt as easily.
I can read it.
It says love. Yeah, sure. But read my shirt as easily. I can read it. It says love.
Yeah, sure, but the text is backwards.
Please tell me it doesn't say anything down the bottom that's not good.
That just says Marky's name.
Thank you.
What do you think it would say?
Cat's just sitting and screaming at me.
I was hoping
it did not say
hentai
oh no
I don't have
any of those
shirts
good
I do have a
shirt that
like in big
letters just
says uh
tsundere
but it's white
and uh
white shirts
just don't come
up well on
camera just
because I
have the
blinding lights
off to my
side
yeah
um
one of my
friends uh keeps buying shirts off of uh coolshirts.com
whatever it is the cool shirts website i love cool shirts and he's got it he's got a bunch of
fucking like degenerate shirts and then he's got this this one like the it's it's the japanese
cover for click or the adam sandler movie yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and it's just like all japanese text
fucking okay so uh obs just crashed and nick has a cat in the background now so
yes my dad let her into the room her name is midnight midnight that's a great name name is
piss pass uh piss pot piss pot because she pisseshmm. She's in menopause because she's like, how old is she?
Like 15?
Oh, jeez.
I don't know.
She's real old.
And yeah, so I got, you know the Alienware bag?
Mm-hmm.
That I used to have?
Oh, yeah, yeah, I know the one.
Yeah, so she pissed on that.
I left it on the ground and she sat
on top of it and like i could tell she sat on it because i was like compressed down and then just
pissed straight into the bag luckily my laptop wasn't in there um at the time and then i went
to go pick it up the next day and i'm like why why is the handle wet why does my hand smell like pee
so i like tried to wash the bag it even putting it through the washing machine like it did not
get rid of the fucking piss stain so for my birthday mom got me like a new bag oh that's
good and then i left that one in the lounge room she pissed on that one as well luckily yet again my stuff wasn't in it so i didn't get you know
my thousands of dollars of magic cards pissed on and my several hundred dollars laptop pissed on
um but that one i've i've been able to get the majority of the smell out like if you if you
put it close to you and you smell it like you can you can smell cat
piss but she didn't like piss into the bag she's like sprayed on it right so i like i like wiped it
like several times i was just getting a new bag i'm going to but like i don't go outside so that's
fair i have to go and like take the take the bus down to harbour town to go look for a bag at the
bag shop down there do you really have to go to harbour town just go look for a bag at the bag shop down there.
Do you really have to go to Harbour Town just to get a bag?
You don't have to.
They've got good big bags.
I need a big bag because I've got
a lot of magic cards.
I don't know if that
came through on the mic. I've got a lot of magic cards.
I don't know. You're the one recording your audio.
Yeah, but like...
Fuck, that's going to make it even harder to sync up now.
Ha ha ha.
Get rekt.
Ha ha ha.
Oh.
A little clap?
Three, two, one.
That's not going to help.
Oh, I'll make it happen. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
I'm not too hopeful.
So yeah, what were we saying?
We were talking about cool shirts before.
Now we're talking about your cat pissing on stuff.
My cat? My fucking piss pot.
Yeah, your piss pot. Yeah, so I need like a big deck. I've got a lot of magic cards.
Because I've got two deck boxes that each hold two decks.
So I've got four decks.
How much is the deck?
A deck is 75 cards.
Okay.
So that's like that much space for one deck.
Yeah.
Do I have my bag here?
I don't.
It's in the bedroom.
And then I've got a big long box.
So one deck is that big.
The deck boxes for those are that big.
And I've got one big deck box that's that big
that holds four decks.
Because they're all one format.
So the four decks that I have in the two boxes are modern.
And then the four decks that I have in the one big box
is Commander.
Which is a more fun format to play than modern because modern is fucking disgusting i don't know anything about magic i'm just gonna accept what you're saying yeah so i always have like my bag
stacked full of shit is what i'm saying um so i need i need a big bag to fit all that in and my
laptop um because before my cat pissed on my Alienware bag,
I broke the zip because I had my eight Magic Decks
and my Trade Binder and my laptop all in the bag,
and it just broke the zip.
I don't know where I put my bag.
I don't know where I put my cat I don't know where I put My cat
Where is my cat
Oh no my cat
I had a cat
She's now living in my parents place
There
No that's
That was my housemates cat
At my old place
Oh
I didn't even know
Oh yeah no
I moved out of that place
God
Like
End of last year
Because it was shithole
Oh yeah
I was getting sick
Of my housemate there
Because he was just I've told this story A bunch of times on the podcast but um the long and short of it is
he liked to play really loud music at really early times in the morning by really early times in the
morning i mean from midnight to 7 a.m oh wonderful the sleeping hours yeah it was fun
and during that time you know
him and his mate
would just have
a 40 pack of West End
and they're both
in their mid 30s
I don't know how
they're doing it
yeah so
is this
the one that
worked at Woolies
yes
yeah
yeah and
yeah
when I was
when I was over
for that party
oh yeah you weren't i forgot about that
that was the entire night he was trying to convince me that i was gay
yeah you would i was fucking off my head the entire time how did that actually go from your
side i completely forgot about that um so vishnu was uh super drunk, trying to jump off the...
You know how there was the broken fence?
Not fence, the broken gate thing that stopped you from falling off the edge of the cliff?
Yeah, he kept trying to walk through there, even though I'm like,
no, you cannot go through there.
There's broken nails and everything, and then you'll fall off the cliff.
And then I finally let him come out to the fireplace he went to smash one of your
glasses on the ground then he did smash the glass went to then step in and i'm like no going back
inside and then i took my eyes off him for like two seconds and he's jumping in the fire pit and
i'm like buddy i'm sorry that I couldn't help that night
I was fucking gone by the time
I have a funny story to tell
About the guy that I hate the most
In the world
And then yeah
So I stopped drinking
At like 11 or 10
After starting drinking at like 8
And
Yeah I sat up until like six trying to get a vision not
to fucking kill himself and then at 6 a.m i was trying to go to sleep and he wanted he's like he
kept saying like oh dude like oh you took so good care of me, like, you never did do that. Oh, let me pay you. I'm like, no, you're not fucking paying me.
Just go to sleep.
He just, like, kept going for, like, ten minutes straight.
Oh, dude, my parents are rich.
I'll give you money.
And so I'm like, Vishnu, I've taken care of you for the last eight hours.
Shut the fuck up or I'm going to knock you to the ground.
And he just, he shut up. I'm going to knock you to the ground and he just he shut up I went to bed he's like when he's not drunk he's a really nice guy but he had a lot of drinking problems at that
time and that was a um fuck I yeah if I knew what he was going to be like that night I wouldn't have
got like as like as bad uh but he was gone by the time I was,
he was,
I think I was already gone by the time he was gone.
So I could,
there was nothing I could do to help.
So that was,
I was just having lots of fun that night.
And then as they got to a point where I was starting to come down,
I was like,
what the fuck is happening?
Cause I,
a couple of things I do remember Shane almost got impaled
because he actually
slipped over
near the nails
and like
he landed right near it
and like
one almost
I'd say about this far
before going back
like into the back of his head
he's like
what the fuck
is happening tonight
yeah
and then like
like Sam showed up and like lit the fire for us
sam and cory were there early sam cory yeah yeah um and then they left and then the fire like went
to like shit almost immediately and then mark got home his name is mark yeah his name is mark
mark at home And then Just like
He just fucking
Brought her back to life
Like
He was like the god
Of the fire
Oh yeah he's
He's a cunt but
He is definitely good
At starting fires
Yeah
So yeah
You had some experiences
With Mark as well
That night then
Yeah yeah
So he just kept
Trying to like
Convince me that I was gay because of the
fact that I was helping Vishnu, and I'm like, no, I just don't
want to see Vishnu die, because
he's, like, trying to step on
glass, and trying to jump off cliff,
and trying to step in fire pit.
No, no, no, dude, I think
you've got an ulterior motive there.
Hoo, hoo, hoo.
I'm like, no, I don't.
Was Mark, like, did he have anything to drink at that point, or was, at least that you'd say? No, no, he was smashed, like, no, I don't. Was Mike, like, did he have anything to drink at that point?
Or was, at least that you'd seen?
No, no, he was smashed.
Like, he got home and was, like, playing catch up immediately.
Of course he was.
Right, yeah, he was, because then he came out and, yeah,
that's why I was completely gone that night, of course.
God, that was, that was an experience.
Yeah, he got home and saw that people were drunk
and just guzzled forth right away
and then just kept drinking casually.
Fucking hell.
It's certainly a story you can tell for the rest of your life now.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
I'm sure it wasn't fun while it was happening
or the day after.
No.
I mean, the day after was fun.
I got to clean.
I don't know why.
You helped out a ton for that.
You really didn't have to do that.
I always just clean up after parties.
That's when I decided that I don't like having house parties anymore.
I just let someone else do the house party.
I'll go to theirs. It's way easier.
I'll happily clean up, but
there's too much
to it if someone ends up being a problem.
And that's like, it's your house, so you've got to...
If someone smashes
something, it's like, oh,
now I've got to go out and get
extras of those. Well, I wouldn't really care that it's my house. i've got to go out and get extras of those well i wouldn't really
care that it's my house my problem was that i was living with other people like if someone breaks
something at my house like whatever that's fine but when it's not my things that's when it's a
bit different yeah yeah like i can if something like if someone broke something in mind like they
broke i don't even like a broke a window it's like oh they broke a window. It's fine
I can pay for a new window
But when it's not my window or it's like not my glasses or it's not this like that's a bit different
Because then you have to explain to something else like you have to explain to someone else like this person did this
And that's just a hassle. I don't want to have
That was a fun topic actually that was your first time you ever met shane he
what happened to him that night because he was fine for a while and then he came back inside
and had something and then was gone when he came back um i don't know there was that bottle of i
think it was jameson Apparently you sold Vishnu.
Sold him?
Yeah.
What?
I think Vishnu gave you money for that bottle.
I don't know.
Anyway, I'm fairly sure Vishnu bought that bottle off you
because there was only like a quarter of it left or something.
I think Shane took a swig out of that.
Right.
And then he
and then he was just falling over and he couldn't walk and then he was like puking up in the toilet
didn't want to sit down because some reason i'm happy i'm real happy that brandon was there because
if he wasn't like that would have been way too much to deal with because then there would have
been two people who were just completely gone brandon was the uh the mate that shane brought along
he's a really chill dude he can actually drink like a an adult yeah i'm guessing that i he
from what i was talking about he'd seem like that had happened before and he was like i know how to
deal with shane when he's like. So just let me deal with him.
Let's get to something more fun.
Yay.
Do we have other topics written down in your notes?
Oh, I've got tons of topics.
Epic.
So we can go back to what you... Segway from what you were talking about before with the teaching.
And talk about what you actually want to do now that you're done with uni and stuff.
I want to play Rune you're done with uni and stuff.
I want to play RuneScape all day.
Okay.
What do you want to do with the degree?
I want to get a job as a game developer in Adelaide,
but I don't really have a project.
Aside from the project that I'm working on at the moment,
you know Darcy?
Yes, yes. Yep.
So we're working on, right now, doing a Unity project with C Sharp.
We're remaking the very first Super Mario Bros.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we haven't done a whole lot of it.
We've got a bit of basic character movement.
We haven't done the whole, the longer you hold a jump, the higher you go. It's just
one vertical jump.
But we've got
movement, so in that
game, when you
are walking left and you press right,
there's a bit of a
weight. You slow down,
then you do a turning animation, and then you go
in the other direction. So we've got
that pretty much down pat. and a bunch of like animation stuff and yeah so we're gonna do that
and then release as a free uh like open source game um so aside from that project i'm working
on at the moment i don't really have any games that i can show off to companies and be like, here is my portfolio.
Please hire me.
So what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to talk to the head of school
and transfer from my finished Bachelor of Game Development
into Software Engineering Honours
and then get my honours project to be a video game
that I make for an Adelaide Based game dev company
But of course
Stuart doesn't respond to emails
So I think it's been
Seven weeks now since I got
A response from him
So you got a response of some sort
Yeah, after
Three weeks of bugging him
I got a response And i only got the response
because one of the guys this was back when i was doing my internship at the start of the year
yeah i was sitting next to one of the guys who was gonna go meet with him now and i'm like
hey brandon can you go bug stewart to email me back and so he he did that and yeah i got a response
back like almost immediately like
hey sorry every day when i leave the office i remember i haven't sent you the email back so
here is the email back um and so i met with him the next morning at like 8 a.m as he was walking
into the office we had a little discussion and he said oh yeah someone else has done pretty much the
exact same thing as what you're doing now. They've transferred from game dev to software engineering honours.
So here is essentially what you have to do.
I'll get back to you later about the specifics.
And later never came.
Later never came.
And yeah, so he said like, oh, here's essentially what courses you have to do, because you've missed some of the courses Law of Engineering Honours have done.
So you're going to have to take these courses, then you're going to have to do, like, three or four or something Level 5 electives, and your ICT project, like, your Specialist Major 2.
like your specialist major two because i've i i can be credited for specialist major one yeah for my project that i've already done and then project two is going to be the new one that
i want to do the game that i'm going to make because your ict specialist is basically a full
year ict project so you just be credited first semester basically yeah yeah exactly um so yeah
because yeah because i see projects on one Yeah, because we're actually doing, like,
ICT project and specialist guys do stuff together.
It's the same course, it's just longer.
Yeah.
So yeah, I did that,
and then I went online and tried to find the level 5 electives.
I could only find, like, two, but I needed to do...
It was either three or five or something, level fives.
I literally couldn't find... i have a list of them um you can also bother joe about it and she'll send you a
list okay because there's not a list anywhere um it's a problem i know they have i looked all over
the course website and i just couldn't find them yeah um and i sent them back an email saying like
yeah i can't find them can you tell me what they are?
And he hasn't responded since then.
Yeah, I know that when people went and asked Jo about it,
she was like, yeah, we know we actually have this problem,
and no one's bothered to fix it yet.
So usually, though, whenever my guys are trying to find their electives,
you can ask her, she'll be like, oh, can you send me a list of them as well? So it's going to be trying to find their electives that you can ask us you're like oh can you send me a
list of them as well so it's going to be easy to find yeah and if any of your viewers are first
year uni sa students i might be one of them one of them yeah i might be teaching them in um
whatever it's called the new python subject for next semester i think
it's object oriented programming okay because if you haven't heard about that uh currently it goes
you do python in first semester and in first year and then second semester first year you do you
would have changed to java for objectoriented programming. But now we're doing object-oriented programming in Python
for the second semester of first year,
and you don't learn Java until second year.
Just because I think it was a bit too much for some students
going from learning scripting in Python
and then going straight to Java
and having to learn object-oriented and Java at the same time.
Yeah, that does make sense.
Yeah, it's just split up. So now when you go to Java in second year, and having to learn object-oriented and Java at the same time. Yeah. That does make sense.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's just, like, split up.
So now when you go to Java in second year,
you already know object-oriented,
so you're just learning Java in that course.
Right, okay.
Because, yeah, Java is... It's a very different paradigm to learning Python.
Like, obviously, they both can be OO languages,
but Java, it's got some weird stuff about it
where it tries to put every single possible thing in an object yeah java is a bit weird i don't like java i've been doing a bit of
work back in python just to refresh myself in case i get this job and like there are a lot of things
about python that i don't like but there are a few things that are over Java. Especially file reading.
File reading is so easy in Python. You just make a file reader and then it's there. You've
got the strings.
Have you come across fstrings?
Fstrings? No.
Let's hope that it doesn't crash again. Python fstring. Here we go. Is this going to be it?
here we go is this going to be it? I'm going to put a thing
in the chat and I'm going to open it
in OBS and OBS is not going to crash. Okay it didn't crash, cool
an f-string is basically a way that you can
do string formatting so instead of having to do string like the
%s string arguments it's sort of just like an easy way to do it.
If you go down to where it's a simple syntax,
basically you can put your variables encased within curly braces
and just stick them within a string.
Oh, yeah.
It's actually a pretty neat way to handle string replacements.
Yeah, you can do a similar thing with string.format
in Java. You put out your string and then do.format and you give it another string,
I believe, that is similar to this where you've got the braces. Yeah, Python has a string.format
as well by the looks of it. Yeah, but in string.form, you have to specify the arguments in the actual format function.
So it's just a little bit neater than doing that.
Cool, it didn't crash again.
I don't know why OBS is so unstable on Linux.
It's actually a complete mess.
Maybe it's just my hardware.
See, you're relearning Python and you're kind of liking it, I guess.
So you're relearning Python and you're kind of liking it, I guess Yeah, it's
Like when I switched from Python to Java in like first year
I was like, oh my god, Python bad
And now I'm like, yeah, Python
It has its uses
It's not just a terrible language that everyone starts on and then forgets immediately
It's used for a specific reason
It's not a programming
language, it's a scripting language, and if you write scripts in it, you can do good things,
you can do easy things.
Yeah, there's a lot of people, especially in the Linux sphere, who like to use Python
for things it's not really designed for. There's a really popular file manager that's written
in Python. Not a good idea.
Yeah, you don't is is there a
gui on that one or no it's a terminal file manager yeah okay i guess that's all right like you you
don't make guis with with python that's that's not something that hey but there's a python game
engine there's pi game well no there is one sort of game you do make with Python, and that is visual novels,
because they don't need to be quick. Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what the library was called, but that's what Doki Doki was made in.
Ah, yeah. Hopefully it's not what Yandere Simulator was made in.
No, that is... it started as a JavaScript Unity project
and then migrated over C Sharp,
but he's really bad at programming.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
I think his source code leaked.
It did.
RenPy was what it was called.
Yeah, RenPy was the visual novel library
I was talking about.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, anyway, you said you knew the source code?
Yeah, his source code
leaked, and it was utterly disgusting.
I haven't read it myself, but I've seen people
like, just shit-talk it on
Reddit and stuff. There's a lot of videos breaking
it down. He's doing things like, instead of doing
like, you need to have coroutines
that you can just make this coroutine
do one thing on a loop, or you can do it
after a certain time. He just does everything in his update loop.
Like things that only need to be rendered once,
he'll render an update loop.
It's like...
No, my favorite is when he's using if statements to do maths.
That's always beautiful.
It's just like do you do know what
like a multiplier is don't you like what are you doing and um yeah aiden back in the day aiden used
to go on about him constantly um and he would always say about how he uses um instead of using
classes like um like for different things like like this is an i so it's given the i class
it would have a string for the class then he would do string comparison like if type is
in quotes i like that's so much slower than just doing if it's a if it type of i
i didn't know about that
i know those string comparison is so much slower
than just knowing what it is because it is that class.
If you want to do it like that, then just do it as an enum
because then that's basically just an integer comparison.
Yeah.
There's also some weird stuff where he's made some of the buildings
out of separate components,
even though it could just be one big component. I'm not a't i'm not a game dev guy so i'm not sure what the terminology is
but it's a bunch of separate models instead of being one big contained model and it's just like
that's way slower than it needs to be there's also some texture mapping that's done completely
wrong and just doesn't work and it's kind of just, it works because it's kind of close enough
but if you were to
slightly move the model it just would fall apart
yeah
it's like
it's just
it's just not how you develop
at all
what I imagine
it being like is when I first learnt React
when I learnt React, I was learning how to do modern web development as I was writing it.
So there were parts where I was learning about cool things and then just trying them out,
even though they didn't make any sense at all.
It's just like, oh, I can, I don't know, it's been a while since I've done React.
It's like, oh, I can do ternary statements to generate all of my junk
oh let's just do ternary statements
for everything, or I can put everything
in a component, so I'm gonna do that
and it's just like, no, don't do that
well yeah, um
I found out that there's a thing
you can do in C Sharp called a
ternary bool
yeah, so
instead of being
true or false,
it's true, false, or null.
Uh-huh.
And so I started using that for, like, a ton of things
because I'm like, this is so cool.
And then I realized that it's just a lot better
to just use an enum.
Mm-hmm.
Then I had to go change all of that
because it was stupid.
That's weird.
I didn't even click for a moment.
Yeah, what?
Yeah, so instead of the bold being like a raw type
that's just a zero or a one,
it's now an object that can be null
because it's an object.
So it can either be null, like not instantiated,
or it can be true or false.
But even then, it doesn't get the raw type true
and the raw type false.
It's actually an object.
It's like a, you know how there's, like, bool,
and then there's boolean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, boolean is, like, the wrapper.
Yeah.
It has, like, an entire wrapper,
so it's, like, a lot less efficient in memory.
Well, yeah, because enums are basically just a uh effectively just a constant depending on your
language you're using they're pretty much just a named integer yeah yeah i know java does them a
little bit differently oh do they yeah java used to not actually have enums they used to be uh
they used to just be uh static final variables in a class. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've definitely seen APIs that just have static final variables like that.
Yeah, and that's because it didn't have EDOMs when it first came out,
and that's why it was like that.
It was a bad idea.
Because Java's just written in a weird way like that.
Anyway, you were saying?
I was saying something, and I forgot what it was.
I was going to say something about C Sharp
and how I was doing things each frame
oh, actually I remember now
so with my internship that I was doing
at the start of the year, I was doing a VR project
on the HoloLens
and if you know anything about HoloLens
you know that it is god awful
at rendering
not only do things render
crappily
it has a tiny tiny CPU
Because it has to be
Light enough to be on your head
And not hurt you
It has to have really weak hardware
I didn't know the HoloLens was an enclosed device
Oh yeah no no no
It's one thing, you strap it on
And there's no cords or anything
Everything's done from this
It doesn't connect to a computer or anything It isn't like the Oculus Rift stuff where they connect
to your phone or your computer. It's all itself.
One of these.
Yeah.
Delviser.
I don't care about my Oculus Rift, but it's behind a bunch of shit. So yeah, I had to
design everything in such a way that I was being extremely efficient.
So when I finished my project, I was running...
I don't know how much Unity development you've done.
I'm doing Unity development right now.
That's what my project is.
Oh, you are, yeah.
Because you're on an ICT project, yeah.
So you know the gameobject.find thing, where you can do gameobject.find with a capital G
and then give it a name as a string
and it will go find that object in the scene.
No, I didn't know about that.
Most of my projects are already done.
I'm kind of just building on top of it.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
So if you do gameobject with capital G,
capital O, dot find,
give it a string,
it'll search through your object hierarchy
to find an object with that name.
Sure.
Or you can do find object of type
and give it the, whatever they're called,
these braces, the triangle braces,
and give it a type,
and it will go and find all objects of that type
in your scene.
And then it will return an array,
and you can search through the array
to find the one with the right name.
That's a really expensive task to
perform like it'll take like quite a few milliseconds because it has to search through
every single object and if you've got like actors in your scene that have different body parts it's
got to go through every single body part and see is this object this type and that's like it's
expensive sure um so the thing that you're told to do in documentation is to never use that in an update
loop.
You only ever use it in your start method.
So it finds everything, assigns references, and then later when you need them during your
update loop, you have the reference already.
So I made sure I did that for everything.
Then I passed off my internship when I'd finished it to Kung and Sasindu
To use for their
ICT project because Kung's doing
His specialist
ICT projects, he's doing the two semesters
And Sasindu is doing
One semester
So he's just doing the normal ICT project
And so they're both doing it this semester
I think they've finished it now
Yeah they would have But yeah and so they're both doing it this semester I think they've finished it now because it's week 14 or something
but yeah
so I went through and I explained everything to them
took them through the hierarchy
because when I got this project it was already
started but the previous
team had moved back to China
and none of them spoke English so none of
the commenting was
legible
Did they write the comments in English still?
They wrote it in English, but where there was commenting,
which was barely anywhere, it was in English, but it was really broken English
and it was very obviously Google translated, because it didn't make sense.
Right.
So we had to go through and like figure out where objects
being passed to like they had a we had to communicate with a bluetooth device and then
communicate to a server that's running on a computer but they never told us if there was
an order it had to be done in like if you have to turn the heart rate monitor on strap it to your
body then put the hololens on then turn the on. There was no instructions on how to install the
server, how to get the IP address correct, what network you had to be on, none of
that stuff. So we spent eight weeks, I think, just figuring out how to start the
project. So I went through and I explained everything
step by step
so they knew how to start.
So they started in week 2 or week 3
whereas we started in week 8 or week 9.
And I'm going back every now and then because
Khan comes up to me and he's like, hey, I need to do
this thing and the animation thing isn't working.
I don't know how to fix it. So I'll go in
and I'm like, okay, yep, you just haven't bound this to the right object or
Stuff like that and I'll teach matter do it cuz they have that they haven't done you need to build for I've done a bit
of it because I didn't project and
So yeah, I'll go back and I'll I'll shout at them because like what are you doing?
That yeah, it's real fun
Like no con I'm telling you to type console.writealign.
So type console.writealign.
I get very angry when I watch Kong type.
But yeah, so I'll do that.
And I look at what they're doing.
And it's like, I've specifically told you,
don't run gameobject.find
in your update loop.
He's doing it every single frame.
He's pulling this function like four times.
And I'm like, you have like 300 objects in your scene.
This is going to run a for loop
over 1,200 objects every frame frame there are 60 frames in a second
you're getting like 12 of them oh lord how weak the hololens is and he'll like run on the hololens
like oh i'm getting so much shit frames like i know why you're getting shit frames buddy
yeah i mine's not as bad because I have like mine's not an enclosed system
but it still runs like ass and I know why it's because they do it it's a data
visualization program and they're updating stuff every frame like there's
thousands of data points and they're updating every frame.
Oh, yucky.
How are they updating it? Are they, like, contacting a database?
No, it's read in from a CSV file and put into an array.
No, it's loaded into memory.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
It is in memory.
It's not reading from the file every frame.
No.
Okay.
It does that at the start, which is good. If it was reading from the file every frame no okay it does that at the start which is good if it was reading from the file just give up oh lord yeah because with my project um
ours was maybe a little bit worse because we didn't just have broken english we had no comments
the only comments were the apis they were bringing in from external systems so
like you'd use like the
Unity library for
the Oculus library for Unity
and it's like this is well commented
and then you get to any of the things they wrote
and it's just like a thousand lines
not a single comment
and the variable names with like
Y-E, it's like what does that mean?
what are you trying to tell me here?
It will...
Yeah.
I've got students who, like,
they get shouted at by their group
because of their variable naming.
Like, see, when I do GUI programming,
I have my variable names very particular.
So if it's a label that displays the username, it'll be LBL for label and then username and then LBL password.
So I assign each type of object a three-letter code, and then that three-letter code appears at the beginning of each of them.
Sure.
He had done that
For one of his seven labels
The rest of them
Were label two
Label seven
Label sixty nine
And
Then just random words
That came into his head
As he was typing
It wasn't the same
Like if it was label one
Label two
Label three
Label four
Label five
That'd be fine
That'd be bad enough
Seventy nine
It's like a random number And then And then just Whatever he thought 1 label, 2 label, 3 label, 4 label, 5. That'd be fine. That'd be bad enough. 79.
It's like a random number,
and then just whatever he thought of.
What?
Why a random number?
I just... I don't know.
It's like label 45.
Sure.
You don't even have 45 labels.
Just stop.
Just please.
What a mess. Yeah, for me, I don't tend have 45 labels. Just stop. Just please. What a mess.
Yeah, for me, I don't tend to abbreviate much.
I tend to use full names,
so I end up with really long variable names.
So yeah, when we were doing,
I think it was computer design concept or something.
One of the ones that was done by,
I can't remember his name now. One of the ones that was done by I can't remember his name now.
One of the lecturers that everyone loves.
The one that plays Overwatch all the time.
Adam?
Adam, yes.
One of Adam's courses.
He told us,
I don't care if your variable names are 100 characters.
If they make sense,
they make sense.
That's what he told us in the iOS course.
Because he was like,
it's all closed source anyway.
No one's going to see it.
Just 100 character variable names.
Yeah, so for that assignment,
I don't think we had a variable,
even like a temporary variable,
that was less than 30 characters.
Like, if I was searching through an array to find an object,
the current object in the array would be called, this is the current object in the array that I'm searching through an array to find an object, the current object in the array would be called,
this is the current object in the array that I'm searching through.
Don't, oh lord.
When I'm programming, my current variable will be current.
If I'm iterating over a loop, you've got current.
But that variable was, this is the current variable
that I'm looking at in the array that I'm searching through.
It was fucking garbage. I always just use I for I. But that variable was, this is the current variable that I'm looking at in the array that I'm searching through. It was fucking garbage,
but like,
I always just use I for loops.
But, yeah.
Well, yeah,
I use I for the index.
Sure.
But if I'm doing like a four-reach loop,
because like four-reach loops
you name the object.
So if you're searching through
like a list of strings,
then the current string is called current.
I use,
instead of the index.
The way I usually do it with my arrays, I I have an array of hands, I'll call the
hands array hands and then in the foreach I'll just call it the singular.
I'll sometimes do that as well. It just seems like it makes a
bit more sense like that because then you get a little bit more context about
what's actually happening Yeah
It depends
In that specific example
If the array was called hands
I wouldn't use hand
If it was
Because then it's only one character off
If I misread something
And I try to do hands or hand
So in that situation
I'd be having the array hands and i would do
current but if the array was called like all hands then i would have current is is hand right okay
because then it's then it's a very different name and i can tell immediately because in my ide if i
type ha and hit enter i don't know if if ha is going to autocomplete to hand or hands. It'll be whatever
it thinks I want.
That makes sense. I use autocomplete
a lot.
What do you actually normally use as your IDU?
So if I'm doing Java development
and obviously IntelliJ...
Is there any correct answer?
Yeah, only correct answer.
I have Eclipse installed because I have
to mark with Eclipse because that's what my students wrote in and if, correct. I have Eclipse installed because I have to mark with Eclipse
because that's what my students are right in.
And if there's a difference between Eclipse and IntelliJ,
then I'm marking them incorrectly.
Right, makes sense. Okay.
If it worked on their system, it has to work on my system.
But yeah, so I have Eclipse.
I don't like developing in it, because it's garbage.
So, IntelliJ, Master Race, Kenley got me into that and never gone back.
If I'm doing C Sharp, it's Visual Studio.
I did, like, I hated using, what's it called?
Pi something.
PyCharm?
No, it wasn't PyCharm. Oh no, it wasn't even called Py something, it was? Pi something. PyCharm? Python. No, it wasn't PyCharm.
Oh, no, it wasn't even called Py something.
It was Anaconda.
Oh, you used Anaconda?
We used Anaconda for AI.
And I hated Anaconda when I started it.
Actually, wait, no.
Anaconda was the...
We had Anaconda installed,
but it was actually Jupyter that we used, I think.
Right, okay.
Jupyter was like used, I think. Right, okay.
Jupyter was like the web version of it.
I think I did everything in Jupyter for that one.
Yeah.
So yeah, I used that because it was the web interface thingy. It was really weird because it ran a server and I didn't really understand it.
But yeah.
So I started hating it when I started using it.
But then as I got further into it,
it was actually really cool because you can run your starting thing
and then you don't have to run that ever again.
You just rerun your code after that.
Yeah.
But it just didn't make sense when I started doing it.
And I would move around things to the wrong order
and then I would try to run variables.
I would try to access variables before I declared them
but yeah, so that's
cool
Kenley likes to, he doesn't actually use Visual Studio
from what I know, unless he needs
the Microsoft GUI stuff, he'll use
CLion
pretty sure, maybe I'm thinking
of C++
C++, he was using CLion instead of QtCreator
Yeah
I have CLion installed and I don't want to install
QtCreator because if I ever have to do
C++ I'm not going to use fucking Qt
If you need to do Qt development
Do QtCreator but otherwise don't
I didn't actually
Realize
There's one open source project that I want to
Work on, it's a source project that I want to work on
it's a Minecraft launcher
and I want to add some features to it
so it's easier to download modpacks
but I have to install Qt Creators
oh it's a Qt project is it
yeah it is
I just don't want to
don't want to do it
I tried doing it
I got 30 gigs into the download
and then it failed
and then I had to restart it
and I'm like nope
uninstall, goodbye.
I didn't realise that Qt was actually being used for anything.
Turns out that, like, that was until I got to Linux and then I realised that with KDE,
KDE, all of the stuff is Qt.
And that's, like, one of the biggest desktop environments.
I just didn't know, I thought it was being used for nothing.
I was like, why are people paying a thousand dollars a year for this thing?
Turns out that's why.
Yeah, yeah.
So are you still on Arch?
I am on Arch right now, yes.
I'm a bit of a fake fan I don't actually watch many videos
That's fine
I'm always surprised when I do bring people on
They're like oh yeah I've seen your videos
Why?
I watched a few of your videos back when you were doing the shed videos
And then
I think I've watched three of your videos
That haven't been in your shed
They're much better now
I've got a ton of your videos on my watch later,
but my watch later on YouTube...
Let me see how long it is.
It's about 2,000 videos.
Anything on my watch later is accidentally put there,
because I don't ever use it.
My watch later, which was updated today,
when I added your video to it,
is 1,817
videos long.
Jesus.
So while we're talking
I'm just going to scroll down to the bottom of it
and then hit control F and type in Brody
and see how many of your videos I can watch later.
I've added a ton of your videos to watch later.
There are videos in here
that I added
2018 probably.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I've got a bit over 300 videos now,
so you've probably got a couple.
Yeah.
Oh, the cat's back.
Probably.
Oh, she's always been there.
I've probably just been covering her.
Yeah, probably.
Unless she just jumped up.
I don't know.
Oh, now you're going to lick yourself.
Cool.
Yeah, licking butthole. I think that's YouTube up, I don't know. Oh, now you're gonna lick yourself, cool. Yeah, licking butthole.
I think that's YouTube friendly, I don't know.
If we're talking about YouTube friendly, we've sworn a lot in this video, you're probably
gonna get demonetised.
Oh, I don't make money on this channel anyway.
Hehe.
Anyway, what were you looking for?
Right, my videos.
I think I'm still in 2018. Yeah, your videos, see how many are in here
Because I probably add a third or two thirds of your videos to watch later
Because there are ones that are like
About Linux and stuff
That I'll like
I'll add because I'm eventually going to install Linux
And do some shit
But, oh, I'm at the bottom
Why did you scroll to the bottom?
Because It's not an infinite list and do some shit but oh I'm at the bottom okay why did you scroll to the bottom because oh does it need to actually
it's not an infinite list
is it
it has to load stuff in
doesn't it
I have 123 videos
of yours
in my watch later
because yeah
you've got a
it only loads
200 videos at a time
and then you've got to scroll down
to go to the next 200
makes sense
you can't just click
like load all
and then it loads the entire list, which is really annoying.
When I have, like, my music playlist with, like, 400 songs.
Jesus Christ.
You're never going to go back and watch those, are you?
Oh, no.
Okay, so when I open YouTube,
what I do is I look at, like, the recommended for you tab,
like, the very top tab that's got the 10 videos,
whatever it is, eight videos,
and I'll see, like, oh, Lewis Beers video,
film theory video, offline TV video.
I'll open all them in a new tab, watch all of them,
and then grab my watch later.
If no one's called me in that time,
in the hour of those few videos I've watched,
I'll go to my watch later
and just start clearing through it all.
So what is the
oldest video of mine you have on that list because i want to know if you even should watch that
because you probably shouldn't okay let me i i got out of it so i went to my home page okay sorry
i'm gonna scroll down a bit i would assume let me see because i i know that my video like i don't
people for some reason, like my content,
but I wasn't happy with it until about...
I was happy with it at the time,
but looking back, I don't think my channel was watchable
until about maybe three months ago.
I don't know why.
The shared videos were so bad.
No, they were amazing, dude.
Also, do you only talk about Linux now?
Uh, pretty much. I have a couple of... I try to keep it on Linux, but I also do a couple of side techy things, like my...
I had a video yesterday where I talked about my... my dead CPU. My 3900X. $800 CPU that I killed.
Okay, so my earliest video of yours is simplifying my life with some simple shell
script. And that was released when...
Simplifying my life? What the hell was that?
Yeah, ads in your videos, dude. GG.
Oh yeah, I've been, um, I noticed my ad revenue went up and I was like why did my ad revenue go up?
And then I remembered, I enabled mid rolls
Oh yeah
So 19th of August 2019
Simplifying my life with shell script, let's see if I can find it
With some simple shell script. Let's see if I can find it. With some simple shell script.
I can just like send you the link.
You could just send me the link, that would be much easier.
I want to see how bad my thumbnail used to be.
I wasn't really happy with my thumbnails until...
Oh lord!
Oh no.
I recognised this voice instantly.
Oh no, it was depression Brody.
Oh, and I was sick at the time as well. Oh, Lord, look at this dude.
You guys won't be able to hear the audio because Nick's actually recording his audio separately today.
It has 178 views now.
People are going back and watching my old content.
It's got six likes.
It's going to have seven now.
Also.
I was so depressed back then.
What is...
In between talking, I've been removing names from this meme that I share on my Facebook,
so now you can have this, because there's no last names in it now.
Oh, okay.
This is what I was talking about before.
Me helping Congress, me helping Gemma.
Can I get a link to this?
Copy link.
There we go.
There we go.
me up in Gemma. Can I get a link to this? Copy link. There we go. Every time I click this thing to change the scene, I'm worried that I'm gonna crash again.
I have anyone listening, so it says guys helping others, other guys to code versus
girls, versus guys helping a girl to code. And there's a picture of Angry Hulk and then Smart Hulk.
Yeah, so it's like me like helping Kung to code. I'm like you mother piece of shit.
And then it's like Gemma, you have to add the pain to the correct other pain.
Yep. Here is the code that you need to type to do that.
That sounds a lot like when people were helping Nick out as well.
Helping me?
Monique.
Oh, Monique.
I think I said Nick, yeah.
No.
Yeah.
It's like, this is something really basic.
Or like, what was his name?
The dude who...
First year that everyone hated.
Who would always ask everyone questions in messages.
Kung? No, not Kung.
He wasn't friends with anyone.
He just would send everyone DMs.
Lachlan?
No, not Pugsley.
No, no, no.
Not Pugsley. The other one.
I don't know who that is.
Okay.
I don't remember his name.
He dropped out at the same time as Pugsley.
Yeah, I can't remember what his name was.
There was a guy who would always just ask everyone questions
and no one wanted to listen to him.
This is basic stuff.
It's one thing if you're asking, like,
oh, I don't understand this thing about this complex thing
about Bayesian theory or something like that.
That's different.
But if you're like, how does an array work?
It's like, come on.
What do you mean, how does an array work?
Did you pay attention in any of the lectures
or have you started working on your assignments?
With the second years now, they haven't got
any experience with Git yet, do they?
No, they don't, because you learn
that second semester, second year.
That must be fun. Yeah, it's so fun.
I mean, that was how it always was.
So we had to do
our assignments by emailing each other code.
Theo, you know Theo?
Yes, yes I do.
Yeah, so he wanted his group,
he's one of my students,
he wanted his group to do Git for their assignment.
And oh my god, why did you do that?
No one knows how to use Git,
not even like he knows how to use Git.
I thought he would have known if he was suggesting
it yeah he's like oh no no it's really good everyone everyone uses it to develop it's like
oh okay sure we'll use it then if it's that good and no one knows how anything works it's like
just wait until next semester just like do what we did email each other code so like yeah like a lot
of a lot of doing this teaching has been like telling people how to
combine their work and so i've just told everyone like each week have each member of your group
email the code that they have written like the files that they have changed to one person then
that person will compile all of the code together in one working program that person zips
up the project sends it back out everyone deletes all of their work and just imports that project
and then you work from there and you only change the minimum you have to in like your file don't
change stuff in other people's files because that's like the simplest way you can do it
without using git and people just like just can't understand that.
No, that's too complex. Honestly, they should be doing... I would like to see Git move to
first year.
Yeah, I've said that many times. It should definitely be second semester, first year.
What does the course layout for first year look like now?
I think it's pretty much the same, except PM is now a thing and second semester you do Python
Let's see if I can find a list. Do you know what sad PM is? No
systems analysis design and project management. Oh
It's all one core instead of being three courses. It's one 20
Why wait?
That's that's fun, isn't it?
So, is this...
Yeah, okay, this is the current one.
So we have ITF,
so Information Technology Fundamentals,
Problem Solving and Programming,
Network Fundamentals,
and then Design Thinking Studio.
And that, I'm guessing, is replacing D2DI.
Yeah, it is.
That's the one that Marty's teaching.
Ah, right. Yeah, he did talk about that last time. Yeah, I saw that video you had with Marty in it. D2DI Yeah it is That's the one That Marty's teaching Ah right
Yeah he did talk about that
Last time
Yeah
I saw that video
You had with Marty in it
I watched the
10 minute video
He's got
An interesting
Corona cut
That's for sure
Yeah
I did give him shit
For that beard
Like what was going on there
Almost like your beard
And we also got
Object oriented programming Data driven web technology So that's web dev now Almost like your bed. And we've also got object-oriented programming,
data-driven web technology, so that's web dev now,
systems requirements and user experience.
What is that supposed to be?
I don't know.
Actually, maybe they don't have SatPM.
And then you've got system requirements studio.
I was told they were doing SatPM.
I think they've split it into more.
Yeah, they might have split it into two things or something.
Also, actually, I think the system requires user experience.
I think that's...
Is that Ross's course?
Let's find out.
Who's the coordinator?
That is Ross, yes.
Oh, Ross and Andrew.
That's interesting. So I think what Ross was saying is
IDAI, Interface Design Interaction and Experience,
is splitting into interface design and interface implementation.
So you know how the first half of the course
is all writing up documentation, making personas,
making screen design, the screen layouts and all that?
So that's going to be one course course and then creating the actual interface in Java
FX or in Swing or whatever language they end up choosing, like programming the interface
is going to be a different course.
So the programming stuff is going to, I'm guessing they're going to have to actually
make like a better interface then because you'd be doing it in three weeks otherwise.
Yeah, yeah. You start week seven seven you start doing the actual programming right
in in the current course so yeah it'll have to be a lot better interface either that or
they just give you more about building interfaces before that i guess actually show you proper like
um how to build an interface like not
just oh just make gooey screens like what like what's the architecture that has to go behind it
yeah because you don't really get any of that until you get to web dev really
yeah and like um you get a bit of it in game dev as well okay yeah mobile game dev yeah
yeah that's only for the game dev students, not for everyone.
Well, I did it as an elective.
Yeah.
So, what courses do you actually still have to do?
Because I don't think you mentioned them.
Okay, I had them written down.
I know you have systems architecture.
You haven't done that yet.
So, I'm logging into my mail.
What would you not have done?
Because I know you diverged in second year
I didn't do
Oh you didn't do the maths courses
Yeah that's what I was going to say
I can't remember what they were called though
Comp
Comp Sci Foundations
Yes Comp Sci Foundations and Computer Science Topics for Software Engineers,
which is a stupidly long name.
That course was actually pretty fun.
We went over things like...
By the end of it, it actually turned into a linguistics course.
So we had things like Chomsky Normal Form and stuff like that.
And that was actually kind of fun.
What I don't like... So I reinstalled my Windows 10 onto my SSD
because I had an SSD for like a year and a half
and never ended up actually using it.
Right.
Then I finally plugged it in, put Windows 10 onto it,
and I've been using that.
And it boots up in like 15 seconds instead of like
20 entire minutes
which is real fast now
but I've been having errors
with Vivaldi lately and
it's just really annoying
like I try to log into MyMail on
like a normal tab and it just goes
something went wrong and I would go into a private
tab and it works perfectly fine
Are you using the actual web client for my mail yeah i'm just i used thunderbird
what's thunderbird uh email it's a desktop email client okay i've got like all of my emails logged
into that i i've been used i had been using the windows 10 mail which is all right because it
like combines all your inboxes into one if you want to you can like tell it which ones to combine um but it wouldn't actually let me send emails
through my uni sa email address it let me send emails through my gmail and stuff yeah but when
i actually went to send it would return them return them back to me and be like hey the reason
for that is um outlook actually needs like a separate plugin to do stuff like that.
Thunderbird has the same problem.
Okay.
So here I've got the email that I sent to Stuart.
So I've got to do research methods, ICT specialist major project two.
I've got to do a level four or five high elective.
And that's my entirety of study period five for this year, if I was going going to do it this year and then next year i've got to do systems architecture a level four or five
high elective and then another high elective that's going to be comps high foundations because
apparently that's not part of the actual degree and then something else which i couldn't remember
what it was comps like i've isn't part of the degree? What?
I don't know. I don't think he had to do that one because he didn't say it.
I don't think I picked it as an elective.
Maybe I did.
Either way, if it's not one of the required courses,
I'm going to do it anyway because it looks like it was a cool thing to do.
So my first email to him went out 25th of March.
I think the first time for CompSci Foundations was about proving pi, which was fun.
Oh yeah, I saw you guys doing that one where you had to generate random x and y coordinates
inside a circle and then prove that a random X and Y coordinates inside a circle
and then prove that a certain percentage of those were inside the circle instead of being outside.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
That actually looked fun.
There's certain things in maths that I just don't like.
Like parabolas.
I just hate parabolas.
Okay, sure.
And there's a reason for that.
It's because my year 10, year 11 maths, it wasn't spec.
It was studies, math studies.
I was away for one lesson, one double lesson.
We did the entirety of chapter M in the textbook.
Right.
And I was not even told.
We entered and left chapter M the day that I was gone.
Not a single person, including
the teacher, told me I'd missed anything at all.
Jesus.
And then the week
after, we had a test
on that chapter
with no
test revision anything.
And I was like,
we didn't learn this shit. She's yeah we did last monday i'm like
i wasn't here last monday it's like oh too bad you fail now that's why i didn't so i didn't i
didn't learn parabolas at all and i've just had a fucking bad taste in my mouth ever since
i did maths apps yeah i went down to apps i was i was forced that was my only ever D, aside from university Ds, like my only ever high school D,
like the lowest score I've ever gotten, only time I've ever gotten something below a C
in uni and in high school, and I was forced out of studies because of that.
I went to apps and just loved apps, it was so easy dude.
Yeah it was dead simple, I always got A's in maths,
so going down to apps,
I was like, this is great.
I'm doing box plots.
I'm doing all this basic stuff.
It's great.
I made a meat basket.
In apps, we had to make a business
and then do a spreadsheet
about how much we had to put into our basket of goods.
We had three different baskets of goods,
and each of them had to have different products in them.
We had to source them from...
We had to find prices off websites, source them, all that.
I made three different meat baskets.
They were just entirely meat.
That's great.
And so I had your premium basket basket had like your dorsonia
leg ham um which cost a fuck ton you get it from this retailer and the the cheap basket was like
woolworth brand leg ham that had like no seasoning on it which is like plain ham yep
yeah it was just like that
it was such a fun assignment what did you do in your final year of high school because i
i did um obviously maths apps i did woodworking i did um uh we had to we were forced to do
workplace practices which is basically ohs nonsense um i had my final year
project whatever that was called i don't remember your your research project yeah because we
like i kind of got mine pushed back into year 12 somehow yeah you you got your year 12 project
actually in year 12. yeah we started
in year 11 and then they were just like this isn't good enough and just got me to do it again um
or continue it i guess i actually had a game development course as well and that was in java
it was in the with the greenfoot library i did like all of the it courses that my
uh high school offered,
and we did the same course year 10, 11, 12.
Yep, I know the feeling.
We repeated the same course.
So year 10, it was called IT Computer Concept or something.
So in there, we did a bit of Microsoft Access database stuff.
Oh, wow, that's actually impressive. We did some Excel programming, and we did a bit of microsoft access database stuff oh wow that's actually impressive we did
some like excel programming and we did javascript um and in javascript we made
because our our um our teacher was nick duros he's a big big greek boy loves his uruses
um so we made doris's uruseses, which is a Uros shop.
That's beautiful. I love that.
You would go up to the Uros shop,
and there would just be JavaScript prompts saying,
like, do you want lettuce?
Do you want tomato?
Do you want beef or lamb?
Sorry, blah, blah is not a response.
Please choose beef or lamb.
And then it would go, here's your price for your euros
and it would just like append it to the page in javascript it was like a just like a basic
javascript page and you're probably really proud of that and you're like i was so proud and now
you look back and it's like wow that would take me a day i had an if statement that um tested to see
if you were a if you were a male you were allowed to go into the nightclub if you were a male, you were allowed to go into the nightclub.
If you were a female, you weren't,
because no girls allowed.
That was one of the assignments that we had to write.
It was something like,
if gender equals M, are you over 18?
Yes, no.
If gender equals F, no girls allowed.
And that was the entire assignment.
We submitted that.
And then, so thing is, so that was a year 10 course.
We did like a bit of database stuff in Access.
Access is really cool.
You don't need to do SQL.
Like it has SQL there that you can write if you want to,
but it's like, you can do it entirely visually. It has SQL there that you can write if you want to, but you can do it entirely
visually. It's real cool.
And then year 11
we had ITA and ITB.
So you only had to
do one of them.
Or you didn't have to.
If you
wanted to do year 12 IT, you had to get
a B or higher in either
ITA or ITB. And since ITA and ITB didn't
have a prerequisite of the computer design course from year 10, we did database and Excel
spreadsheets in ITA. ITB was JavaScript and something else. Some not program. I think we did
something else.
Some not programmed.
I think we did like how to take apart a computer
and like
just all RAM and stuff.
And how to like
take the jumper switch off
when you forget
the BIOS password
to reset it.
That would actually be pretty cool.
Yeah.
So we did that for ITB
and then
since
IT
in year 12
didn't have a prerequisite of both ITA and ITB,
we had to spend the entire year reviewing ITA for the students that didn't do ITA
and ITB for students that didn't do ITB.
The problem was, that's theoretically how it worked.
There was one class for ITA, one class for ITB, and one class for IT,
and all three of the classes had the exact same students.
Yeah, no shit.
Of course it did.
Because you're not just going to do ITA.
You're going to do ITA and B.
And then if you want to do year 12 IT, you just do everything.
So he had the exact same class, but because of the way that it worked,
he actually had to go back and do everything. So he had the exact same class, but because of the way that it worked,
he actually had to go back and do everything again.
So year 12 and year 10 were the exact same.
There are only so many kids at a school who are weird enough to be like,
I want to do programming all the time.
But yeah, so in IT, we had the funniest moment.
So I'm going to see if I can find his website,
but I don't think I can.
I forgot what his name is.
Our IT guy was called Conrad, and wait, is that him?
That was quick.
No, that isn't him.
Okay.
See, I thought it was Incompetech.
I'm like, no, wait, no.
Incompetech is McLeod.
He added, Conrad, our IT guy, had a website where he put music that he made.
Music was fucking terrible.
And he was like this real boomer dude.
But he was the IT guy there.
And everyone hated him.
And in year 12, one of the last two weeks,
we thought, you know what would be funny?
If we printed the D&D Player's Handbook,
which is like 550 pages long.
Wait, for which version?
5th edition. 5th edition, okay. like 550 pages long wait uh for which volume of which a version uh fifth edition fifth edition okay yeah um so we tried to print that because like we have like we get like 30 printer credit
a year and it just stacks up so we had like 110 dollars by the end of it we barely ever printed
anything so we just tried to print it because like we can get it in colour for free, we don't have to pay like 50 bucks to get the actual copy of it.
Turns out the player's handbook's like 2 gigs. Our printer server had a RAM of about 500 megs.
So it filled up the print server's... the print queue's RAM filled up immediately as we tried to print it.
Didn't even print a single page.
But they had been very smart
when they set up the printers.
They put in the uninterrupted power supply thingy-ma-jiggy
so that if the server crashes,
it restarts immediately
and it doesn't lose the queue.
But the queue was full.
So it crashed when it
launched with the same RAM.
And then it launched,
and then it crashed.
So you put it in a boot loop, basically.
Yeah, yeah, we did.
And we couldn't do shit about it, because we couldn't cancel
the queue, because as soon as the server
came up, the queue would
load into our computer, and we couldn't
click cancel fast enough, because it would crash again.
Conrad,
the IT
office
was just down the hall
from the IT room, and he could tell
which student
sent that print request and what
computer they were on. We just
hear thundering footsteps.
He's like running down
the hall and is like, is Joshua
Maylard in this room?
And then Josh is like, uh
yeah? He's like, what did you do?
What did you try to prove?
Dungeons and Dragons?
The handbook?
Why'd you do that? You'd break our server.
Stop making it so shit.
Yeah, my IT guys were all like 20-something year olds who'd just finished uni and were all useless.
They would sit there, literally, you'd see through their window, you'd see they're playing Minecraft all day.
Because we had a school Minecraft server and I think the reason they set it up was so they could have a server.
Like, they... It was like, oh, well, the kids are setting up servers on their computers anyway, so we should have a school Minecraft server.
That's not why they did it.
They wanted their own server.
And then they could business expense it, basically.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
For year 10, we had to do work placement.
I already had a job at Big Dub.
I got my Big Dub job in year 9, I believe.
Just because I was $10 an hour.
So me and my friend Hakeem just got jobs immediately.
We went to a group interview.
The group interview had like 50 people in there.
We were the only two in that interview to get jobs
because we were $10 an hour, 15-year-old workers.
Yeah.
And then so when we got into our personal learning plan plp oh that was someone where you were supposed to make a resume and apply
for different jobs i was like yeah i have a job can i just sit in the corner and play minecraft
and she's like technically you do have to actually do the work. I'm like, okay, can I just give you my resume?
I have a resume already.
Like, here's a resume.
Here's a cover letter.
Like, now can I sit in the corner on Powercraft?
So you just finished the entire course on day one?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was fucking, I got an A in that class.
I fucking didn't do anything.
Where was I going with this?
I don't know.
I can talk about my PLP experience Sure
In that class I was really lazy
I didn't want to do the work experience
I was real lazy back in high school
I was like I don't want to do this
I want to just go home and play RuneScape
So I left it to literally the last week
And I managed to actually
Skate through PLP Not doing any work experience Because I managed to actually skate through PLP not doing any like work experience
because I got to the end and they because my school didn't bother to help anyone if you got
to the end and didn't have it well they can't do anything about it so I got through that not doing
it and then I had to go do some work experience the next course so in workplace practices, we also had work experience and that one I ended up
I
Ended up going to my SOAS teacher and she had an idea of what I could do because she knew someone who was working at
the the Gula Natural Resources Center and
I ended up just doing desk work for an entire week. I was categorizing pictures of deer so you know you know how um
when you've probably seen them before uh they'll set up like night cameras that are
motion sensors and they'll just take a picture of anything when there's a movement
so basically i was going through i've seen the save the squirrels initiative yeah yeah stuff
like that um so i would have to go through the pictures and categorize,
okay, is there a deer in this picture?
Is there a fox in this picture?
Are there birds in this picture?
How many are there in this picture?
And I did that for 40 hours.
And the first day, they were just like,
oh, we're going to go do some field work.
And I was happy to do the field work,
but then someone else was like hey I need a I
don't want to I don't want to categorize these pictures myself can I have your work experience
guy I was like okay and then I end up taking her job because that's what she usually does
she doesn't want to do it herself so she just waits till she has a work experience person to
do it and I went through 10 000 pictures of of deer. So that was fun.
Actually, I remember what I was going to say.
So work placement for PLP,
even though I had a job, I still had to go and do placement.
So I think we had to do a week worth of placement.
I think it was 10 hours total we had to do.
And I didn't do anything. I assumed that my work would just let me do it there yeah and then i found out that i wasn't allowed to use the job i already had that was
so dumb i didn't have i didn't hear about that yeah um so i went to a primary school yeah um
black forest primary school and i don't know what that is their their it person was
away the week that i was supposed to be there so my job was essentially just be the it person
because i know i know how computer work okay okay um so essentially i just sat in their office and
it was me and hakeem that both couldn't use big w as our as our workplace
so we both went to black forest and yeah i just uh did you actually have to do any it work like
did anyone come in we we did we did end up doing some stuff um someone called up because one of
their computers wasn't networked correctly and someone unplugged the ethernet so i plugged back in it worked they called up and then some kid with like a who hasn't even hit
puberty yet answers the phone it's like who the hell's talking to me i am the i.t professional
oh look ethernet i plugged in um and then also we had other jobs that they gave us because there wasn't enough IT stuff for us to properly do.
So what they'd done is every year,
like each student had their own,
even though it was a primary school,
each student had their own logon to the student accounts,
which we didn't have at my primary school.
Yeah, no, the primary schools are ridiculous now.
They've got like all iPads and stuff now.
It's crazy.
Yeah, they didn't have iPads when we were there.
But yeah, so everyone had their own login and they had had it for a few years now so they didn't want
to delete all of their work so they just they backed them all up to you to it not to usbs or
hard drives to cd drives and then they had this fat stack like that tall of all the old cds i'm sorry what year was this this was 2015.
um so yeah they had they had this like huge stack of cds that were just like the entirety
of the student drive just put onto a cd um so do you know the program for Windows, Windiestat?
It rings a bell.
What does it do?
What does it do?
Um, so it goes through and it caches the entirety of your hard drive and then sorts it by size.
Right.
And tells you like which folder is like which percentage of your hard drive.
Oh, okay.
Yep.
Yep.
Um, makes sense.
If I were to screen share, Would you be able to show that?
If you can screenshot it, I can show it
Screenshot it, okay
My scenes are set up weirdly right now
Oh wait, no, you could do it
Yeah, you could
I can't show it big
But I can do something
Okay
Why is it only letting me show screen one?
Oh, there we go
So, Windows stats currently loading
It's 98% loaded But this is the interface I don't know if anyone will be able to read this Let me show screen one. There we go. Windows stats is currently loading.
It's 98% loaded.
But this is the interface. I don't know if anyone will be able to read this.
Either way, it's just caching my Steam library right now.
Sure, yeah.
Once it finishes caching that,
it's like my Steam library is 48% of my hard drive.
My games folder is 42% of my hard drive.
And then everything else totals up to 7% of my hard drive, my games folder is 42% of my hard drive, and then everything else totes up to 7% of my hard drive.
And it'll show you a bar that shows the percentage.
And so essentially what we did was we put in the CD, opened up Windeer stat, cached
the entire disc, and then went to the top folder, and it was like, oh look, here is
each student has a copy of Five Nights at Freddy's on their personal thing.
Or everyone's got whatever Flash movie was popular in that year.
And they all had Borat on their drive.
Because they're 10-year-olds, 12-year-olds, they've all got Borat.
Of course, yep yep and that's
what we did we just went through and we deleted all the things that weren't their work and then
copied everything else to a usb we got i think we got the entire stack of like 30 cds into two usbs
yeah it's surely saving doc even for an entire school saving a bunch of documents surely can't CDs into two USBs. Surely, saving documents,
even for an entire school, saving a bunch of documents
surely can't take that much
space.
It was also like they had a bunch of...
Oh, is it finished? Yeah, it's finished now.
You can see these two are fucking
huge because they're like half of the bar.
And then you can see
what the file types are.
This red file type here is a PKG.
And the blue one...
That's fancy.
Something else.
Yeah, I think it's lagging now.
Yeah, it is.
But yeah, that's essentially what we were looking at for the entirety...
Oh, I turned my camera off.
Okay, now you...
Yeah, that's what we were looking at for like the entirety of
of our placement just going through and just deleting movies and games and then keeping all
of their work and keeping all of the um what was the there was a program that was like picks
something win picks or something um it was essentially like paint but i yeah i know the
one you're talking about yeah people
like people were still using that then i remember using that when i was in primary school
yeah yeah yeah so yeah we just went through and just like saved all of those so that if
essentially the point was if that student died in the future their parents could like come in
and be like hey do you have any of this person's work that we can put up
in a funeral right okay or whatever um and yeah so we just did that for a week like two or three
hours a day for a week sounds more fun than what i did yeah um it took ages to actually delete
anything off of them because they were cds and then we had to like delete off the cd like wipe
the cd put it in a clean stack and then copy all the files to a usb and that took a while so while
we're doing that we just watch youtube well i think i listened to podcasts during my my work
experience anyway i don't remember what podcast it was at the time might have been i think i was
into joe rogan at the time which i think I was into Joe Rogan at the time.
I'm into Joe Rogan now, but yeah.
Yeah, I feel like it was probably Joe Rogan.
There were podcasts I was listening to in year 12 that I've stopped listening to,
but I really want to get back into them.
One of them finished, and I was very sad.
There's a fantasy one called Wolf 359.
It's a very good space podcast.
It's about Doug Ifill.
I believe that's his name.
Who's a communications officer for the space station
that's orbiting a star called Wolf 359.
And then there's other characters that get introduced later but
it starts off just being doug and it it was supposed to only be doug talking to himself
and part of the thing was that you couldn't actually tell if he was talking like he he was
just doing like an audio log to himself but you couldn't tell if he was actually on a ship with other people
or if he was on the ship by himself.
But then it turned out that they didn't want to go that direction with it
and they ended up having other characters.
But yeah, it was a very good podcast.
I got very invested in it.
I've never really been much for those story-based podcasts.
I'm always just like the same sort of stuff that I do,
where it's just like just talking shit basically yeah it's also much easier to produce
yeah yeah i i usually watch like youtube videos um like i was like friendly friendly geordie is
just like talk shit about politics even though i have like no understanding of politics i watch
his political videos because they're all funny um i like i i watch his
uh kevin kevin run video the other day i don't think i've watched friendly george's in a long
time i don't even know the last time i watched one of these videos see i i've got a discord server
um that we created in in 2017 and haven't messaged since the 20th of March, 2018.
It was meant for all the people that are doing game
and entertainment design
so that once we all finish our degrees,
we all know how to make games.
And then two of the people in the server dropped out.
So it's just me who does gaming who does game design
um and then i was like looking in that server the other day and i saw a friendly george's video that
was in there it was the the yulmaz video and then i found then i forgot that he existed and i watched
the entire yulmaz saga i i found a uh podcast that i forgot existed a while back and then I'd watch the entire Yilmaz saga. I found a podcast that I forgot existed a while back
and then I fell in love with it again.
I don't know how big you were in the Call of Duty sphere
back when that was big.
I never played multiplayer
because I was always shit at FPS games.
FPS games, fuck.
I was always shit at FPSs
and I only ever played zombies.
Right, okay. So back in the early days of cod back when like mw2 and that were big there was a a youtuber called
woody's gamer tag and he had a channel uh we had a podcast called painkiller already
and i watched this podcast when i was a kid like back then it would have
people like seen anna's on it Hutch pro syndicate names that just aren't around
anymore and I went back and checked that also one of the hosts is FPS Russia or
FPS Kyle I'm sure you watch some FPS Russia videos in the bars no you've
never watched FPS Russia I've never heard of the name of it.
How have you never heard of FPS Russia?
I'm gonna look it up, because I've never seen it in like a couple years.
You've guaranteed seen an FPS Russia video.
What videos am I looking for here? Like in-person videos?
If you're gonna look up FPS Russia, just look at fps russia you'll find his channel he hasn't made a video in like six years because he went to jail
uh for weed uh and now he can't make videos about guns um anyway here so i haven't watched this guy
before my last jeez okay weird very different childhood childhoods then so I went back
and found this podcast
again
so it's a weekly podcast
with 500 episodes
so you can probably guess
how long this has been
going on for
and it's
a year and a half
yeah of course
a year and a half
weekly not daily
fuck
yeah
quite a few years
quite a few years
and it's the same podcast
it's just as good
as it was
when I watched it when I was like 12 years old it's the same podcast it's just as good as it was when i watched it when i was like
12 years old it's just now woody swears a lot more he used to say like um what did he he used
to try his hardest is not to swear he would just say like random other things to not and it's like
now he doesn't care because he's not a cod channel anymore he doesn't have kids watching
him now it's just like i'm just gonna say whatever the i want it doesn't matter yeah
but it's fun going back and finding stuff like that uh lewis spears i i love his youtube videos
i actually was about to bring up lewis for the uh the thing that he posted
not his was most recent video yeah i think it might be not cooking without instructions the
other video they've done very recently.
I haven't watched Cooking Without Instructions yet.
I don't think I have.
The Queen of Simpsons back?
The Queen of Simpsons back.
Fuck yeah.
Belle is back.
I'm still upset that I can't say can't.
That is a really good video.
I'm really happy that Lou jumped on that so quickly.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got his Gamma Girl bath water
I love that he showed
He showed a picture of
Friendly Geordies and Pyrocynical in that video
Because they both bought Gamma Girl bath water
Oh yeah I didn't even notice that
I saw the clip I couldn't remember who it was
Yeah yeah
Because I found that video
In the recommended of a friendly
audience videos i just finished looking at his face and that's where his face again i'm like hey
yeah queen of simpsons back and everyone is going to uh all of the all of the other gamer girls
they're going to suffer now 35 a month though like who would who pay $35, you can pay like $7
a month for better porn
Well it's not even porn, it's just
It's like
It's probably going to be porn on OnlyFans
No, she's a
She's a massive troll
Yeah
Did you not see the stuff she put on Pornhub?
Oh no, no, no
I've seen all of her videos on Pornhub.
They're all hilarious. Yeah, they are. She's a fucking marketing genius.
I'm not even gonna say the titles of them, because even though this video isn't monetised anyway, like,
I don't want it to get, uh, deranked, but just go look up Belle Delphine on Pornhub.
She's a marketing genius, don't worry it's all safe for work stuff
yeah, it's all completely safe for work
except the fact she wears a bikini all the time
she plays with her cat
yeah
or
stroking two chickens
you can probably change the word in there
or something like
stroking two big chickens or something like that
yeah the pinned comment the word in there. It was something like stroking two big chickens or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
The pinned comment on her video is rise up
Simp Nation that she posted.
She posted it and then pinned it.
I need to go back and actually watch that
music clip all the way through because
I partially watched it in Lou's video
but... Yeah, I did that it in Lou's video, but...
Yeah, I did that
after watching Lou's video as well.
It isn't very
good. No, it's supposed to be shit.
But, like,
Senzawa is the
voice actress in there,
and she makes fucking good meme music,
but
you can tell that
Belle Delphine paid her five cents oh i thought i recognized the
voice yeah as soon as as soon as it started playing in lewis's video i'm like oh dude
senzel fuck yeah yeah okay but like 10 seconds in like a cut in like she furnishes one sentence
then like cuts the audio immediately and then starts the next sentence so you can hear it. And then there's a bunch of
rhymes towards the end that
Lewis pointed
out, like these rhymes are shit.
She's just saying random
internet words.
Senzawa's made
better music videos.
Tech over T
fans, go watch Senzawa.
Unless you're underage, then probably don't. Tech over T fans Go watch Senzawa Yes do that
Unless you're underage
Then probably you don't
But yeah
I definitely did though
Put Oikidoki Boomer
On loop
For like
At least an hour
I heard the voice
And I was like
Is this the same person
I recognise this voice
For some reason
And now that you pointed out
Yeah that makes sense Did you recognise this voice for some reason. And now that you've pointed it out, yeah, that makes sense.
Did you recognise the voice
because you know Senzawa or because of
Okidoki Bimmer? Because of Okidoki Bimmer.
I've never actually gone and watched other Senzawa stuff,
but I do know of the name.
Also,
apparently, I was looking her up last night
and apparently she did a face reveal
on iFunny,
the best website ever.
She's got an account on there called
Sen Senzawa.
And yeah, she's done like three videos
with her face in it.
Both marketing geniuses.
But, like, I don't know if it's
actually Senzawa or not, because like
in each video she has different hair
and in one of them her face is covered.
But the rest of the
memes on that i funny account are not senzawa related at all like her her character is you
know like high high pitch lolly but the rest of the videos on there are just like um you know
you know that that meme of that African-American fellow who goes,
Ooh!
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so she edited that laugh
on top of a different video of some dude
who was checking his emails from his professor
and was like,
you just had a record for failing every single question.
Well, I don't know how much you've looked into it but
uh audio effects have gotten really good like you can make yourself sound like a convincing
woman now it's not like it sounds like an audio effect yeah yeah i've not looked into that no
there's a couple of channels i watch that do um they don't use their real voices and it's
gotten really good
yeah, absolutely
the internet's going back to normal, as Lou said
the internet is going back to normal, finally
now that
Belle is back
now we have the queen of sims back
it was getting weird there for a while it's still gonna get it's gonna get weirder
from this point because we've got the the 2020 election is coming up it's gonna get fucking weird
coming november the the american election yes the american election
i don't even if you don't care about it the memes are going to be really good coming up yeah i i like don't understand anything
about politics at all um yeah when i went to vote i accidentally voted for the wrong people
oh and like i pretty much, like,
the only politics or news that I see,
I see on YouTube.
Mm-hmm.
And, like, from my parents.
And, like, I think my parents dislike Kevin Rudd.
And then I was watching Friendly Geordie's videos,
and apparently the only reason why people hate Kevin Rudd
is because the news is all owned by Murdoch
and Murdoch doesn't like Kevin Rudd.
So he does a lot of good things,
but he doesn't do them 150%.
Right.
So they go, oh, he failed in his task,
but he actually succeeded in his task.
He did exactly what he wanted to do,
but he didn't make Australia
150% profitable.
He made them, like, 90% profitable.
And then, so, now, like,
Murdoch shits on Kevin Rudd,
but I'm going to hate Kevin Rudd.
Things like that, like...
I don't fuck all about Australian politics.
I know way more about American politics.
It's so much more fun.
Because it's just, like...
It's basically a, um... it's just like it's basically a
What's the word I'm thinking of?
Reality TV, it's basically just reality TV
Australian politics like yes, I am. I'm a serious politician. I am also a serious politician
We're gonna talk about serious topics and then topics And then You go to American politics
And you have an orange man
Who yells at an old dude
Who has dementia
What is happening?
I was really sad
I have no stakes in American politics
At all
I was really sad when
Bernie Sanders got out of the running
I wanted funny old man
Now you get funny orange old man
Yeah
He's gonna be in presidency forever
God emperor for life
Yeah
He's gonna like
He's gonna do the same thing he did to get
What's her face out of the running
Just like
Falsely leak emails
and make everyone suspicious.
I know she did that herself.
Who hasn't had that?
What's that?
She did that herself.
Ah, did she?
I don't know.
I told her I don't know anything about politics.
Well, basically this time around
you have Trump,
who you know what Trump's going to be like.
He's going to continue being Trump.
Or you have an old man who doesn't remember why he's on stage.
Like he's
Biden is basically on like the edge of dementia.
Like there's multiple
recordings of him just forgetting like
forgetting like the
the Bill
of Independence. I don't know if that's what it's
called. He forgets like basic things that a politician should know,
or he'll forget like what he's like, why he's on stage or where he is.
It's just like, this is not the kind of guy you like.
I don't care how much you like the Democrats or how much you like the Republicans.
I'm sure there are other people you could be running.
I'm sure you have someone else, anyone else.
there are other people you could be running. I'm sure you have someone else.
Anyone else.
That is enough politics.
I didn't know Joe Biden was old. I've heard his name
many times. Well, they're all really old.
Trump's in his late 70s.
Wait, what?
Yeah, they're all above 70.
I know he doesn't look it because he has lots of money and can make-
74 years, what the fuck?
They can all make themselves look younger because they're rich, but-
Because of all the orange.
Because of all the orange.
Shit, I legit thought he was like 50.
Yeah, no, he's way older than that.
Okay, maybe it's because
Melania Trump is 50
I thought he was
I thought he was younger
And wait
Doesn't he have a son
Who's like 12
I don't know how old
I don't know how old
The youngest one is
Barron Trump is 14
Look
His son
Is 60 years younger than him.
He is a busy man.
He's a busy man.
And look, you don't know that it's actually his kid.
Oh, yeah.
He could have just adopted him.
His name was Barron.
Well, no.
That's a cool name.
His wife is attractive.
There's no reason...
I mean, how does he have so much money?
Wife.
I don't know.
I haven't... I don't know where the picture went
But there's this really
There's this picture of
Queen Elizabeth
And Prince Charles standing next to each other
And Prince Charles looks like he's
2000 years old He looks like a ghoul out of fallout I I don't I can't find
the picture?
I do want to show this, and I know this is terrible content.
It's terrible content, they would have already left.
Yeah, well, they're already two hours in.
Yeah, I found it on Twitter a couple days ago.
I should have saved it.
Because it was beautiful.
I'm sure you've played Fallout.
Yeah, you know what a ghoul looks like.
And you know what Queen Elizabeth looks like.
She looks the same she has for the past 30 years.
And then Prince Charles was just like...
It looked like his skin was gonna fall off
yeah i've played like a bit of fallout 3 i don't think i've played vegas and i played a
fuck ton of fallout 4 i played like well into 100 hours of fallout 4 um i love that game and
then i played fallout 76 for about five hours and then deleted it because it's garbage.
My main issue with Fallout 76,
the bugs aside, storage capacity.
It is a game about looting
and you don't have infinite storage capacity.
That's fun. Yeah, that doesn't work.
Yeah, like Fallout 4, you just grab every single...
You loot a body, you click loot all,
you go back to your base,
and you break down the armour that you don't want,
that you didn't want to sell,
or you didn't want to wear, into components,
and then you use those components to build weapon mods,
and to build stalls to sell things at,
to make farms and stuff.
You've got all this stuff you can do and you
can make a base anywhere you want in 76 so you would think that you can make your entire base
that you would have had in fallout 4 in 76 you know everything you want you have 200 weight in
your in your box which one thing to have not infinite storage but there's a lot of items that
should be like weightless.
Skyrim got it right.
You can have 10,000 potions with you if you wanted to.
Yeah, and 200 weight in your storage box
is like four times what you can hold on to at one time.
That is minuscule.
I will fill up my storage on me in 20 minutes of gameplay.
And then I'll go back and I'll store it all or I'll trash it.
I'll recycle it all into parts.
I filled up my entire storage box in, I think, three hours of gameplay.
And then I started getting mid-game weapons.
You get the Fat Man and the minigun and all that.
And they weigh 40 by themselves.
So I had to scrap... I had to, like,
chuck out so much scrap
just because I wanted to store
these good guns. And you can't upgrade
it without paying money!
You need to pay
an exorbitant amount
of money to Fallout
Plus or whatever it is.
Fallout 1 or something.
Just to get
increased storage.
I don't even think that had infinite storage.
I think it just had twice the capacity.
It was like...
That's the point of the game
is that you loot in a wasteland
where there's nothing
and you slowly accrue stuff until you can
become powerful that's no no you have to you have to only have this very small amount of stuff and
that is all you're allowed to have so yeah i deleted that game um if they end up making
infinite authority capacity i'll come back to it. Did you buy it for retail price?
I pre-ordered it.
I think I even paid more.
I got the Tri-Centennial Edition, which is like $30 more than what it originally was.
I think I paid $100 or something for it.
Yeah.
That's insane.
Yeah.
I don't think
I've talked about this before as well
I think the last time I played a game was about
Six
Seven months ago
Yeah I
Haven't
Had the motivation to play games
Very much lately
You were talking about playing Minecraft and RuneScape before
That was I've played RuneScape before.
That was... I've played RuneScape. I haven't played Minecraft in a long time.
Okay.
I've been playing
RuneScape a bit.
I think I've played it three times
this year. And that's all been
this week and last week.
Because I've just like...
I'm doing
things. I'm teaching and then I'm going and I'm
watching YouTube in between
You're doing things, I'm teaching
The teaching is doing things
The watching YouTube is not the doing things
And then I stop doing things, I go watch YouTube
and then I'm like focusing on this video
and then I look at the time
and four hours have passed
and I have to go to bed
What are you watching that you
need to focus that much because runescape is not even a game where you need to pay attention
especially if you're just skilling yeah i mean like that that's why i started playing runescape
because i was like not doing anything like if i if i'm playing minecraft i have to just have like
background noise like i can't watch youtube when i'm playing minecraft you don't want to hear the
minecraft music loop for 10 hours no No, I turn that off immediately.
I play a lot of modpacks
and as soon as I open a new modpack,
music down to zero,
FOV up to Quake Pro.
Yeah.
Quake Pro.
FOV maxed out.
I can't play on anything but Quake Pro.
Quake Pro, Jesus.
Yeah.
So it was a meme a while ago
that I turned my Minecraft FOV up to max as a meme,
and then I played on it for a few hours,
and then I went to bed, and then I booted it up the next day
and played it again.
And I realized that I was still on max, and I went down,
and I started dry-reaching.
Having all of this fov, and then going back down to this fov,
I physically couldn't look at the screen.
I think I played 110 back when I used to play. 1.10, 1.20, somewhere in that range.
Yeah, I really don't like... have you tried playing Valorant?
Uh, no. I don't even know anything about Valorant.
So have you heard about it at all?
I have heard of it.
Yeah. So you know CSGO?
Yes.
Yeah, it's essentially CSGO Overwatchwatch right okay makes sense um so you get abilities and each character can only use their abilities
and then it's like csgo and how you have round day shooter you get money based on how well you're
doing around and then the next round you buy your guns okay yeah if you die in the round you've got
to buy your guns back from nothing but if you survive around you you buy your guns. Ah, okay, yeah. If you die in the round, you've got to buy your guns back from nothing,
but if you survive the round,
you need to keep your guns.
Right.
And then your abilities,
each character has,
I think they've all got three abilities.
They might be...
Oh, no, no.
Yes, maybe.
I don't know.
Doesn't matter.
Details aren't important.
And then you've got to buy your ability.
So there's...
I think there's one ability that is free,
and you can use it once per round.
And then there's other abilities that you can buy,
like two charges of the ability.
And then you use that ability,
and you've got to buy the charge again.
Right.
And it's just like CSGO gameplay.
So I started playing that,
but the max fov, I believe, is 90.
Whoa, you can't do that for a shooter.
That's like the minimum for a shooter, and I can't see anything in the game.
And its turning is nauseating because of the low FOV.
And then I started playing another game, FPS And the max for that was 80
No you can't
Like okay
Rest in peace TotalBiscuit
I miss him
And he managed to make so many game developers
Just increase their FOV
It's like
80 isn't playable
90 is barely playable It should go up to like 160
What 120 like at least like 120 is like good
More than that like if you're using any like I don't know how difficult it is in unity
But I imagine it's pretty easy to just add a slider slide
Even in unity you there's just a slider on your camera
you would just basically put a slider
in your GUI and just change that value
there's no reason to not do it
yep
that topic went nowhere
Valorant, fuck you
also, everyone's really upset
about Valorant because
Vanguard is gay
You heard about Vanguard
So
Vanguard is their
Anti-cheat system
Right
But like all bad
Anti-cheat systems
It has kernel level access
To your computer
And it has to run
When your computer boots up
If it doesn't run
When your computer boots up
You have to restart your computer
And force it to boot up with the computer.
Yeah, that's similar to what happened with Doom recently.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's essentially the same thing.
Doom Eternal has a different one,
but it's the exact same concept.
Yeah, I think that was Denuvo on Doom.
Yeah, Denuvo, yeah.
Denuvo Energy, yeah.
I believe they let you
disable Denuvo.
They've changed it now.
They've actually made it...
They've said, like,
this was a stupid idea.
We're sorry for doing this.
Which is...
I've never heard a game developer
say that.
It's great.
Because what happened...
The Linux guys really hated it
because this game had a
perfect...
So, I don't know how much
you know about Linux gaming.
So, on Linux, we have a system called lutris which is basically a way to easily do wine skins and also we have proton which is steam's thing and this game what's a wine skin uh basically
a wine skin is basically a a wrapper that'll turn the dx calls into whatever calls you can use on Linux. So, OpenCL stuff.
Um.
And it had a near perfect score.
And then Denuvo came out and was like, fail.
This game is unplayable on Linux now.
Because you can't do kernel level DRM.
Yeah.
I've talked about this before as well.
This comes up a bunch because. Yeah. But yeah, yeah. I've talked about this before as well. This comes up a bunch because...
Yeah.
But yeah, so...
What I...
I haven't actually got Doom yet.
I'm going to wait for it to go on sale
because Steam Summer Sale is on.
I think it's on now.
I think it started yesterday or something.
Anyway, I'm going to get it soon.
And I believe what they did was
you don't have to have it running before the game runs.
It'll only run when it starts.
But Valorant still has to be at the start of the system because they can't check to see if you've modified the files unless it runs when the computer runs.
To any of the game developers listening, kernel level access is a terrible idea.
Absolutely terrible. Why do I want you to have access to my entire computer so I can play a video game? Kernel level access is a terrible idea. happened there i don't trust like vivaldi to not do stuff and if i don't even have access to my
kernel right you're using vivaldi okay i'm using brave right now yeah get on that internet money
i was using brave until you told me to use vivaldi in like 2018 and then uh
oh yeah i did that didn't i it's a great browser i still love it people on linux fucking despise it because it's it's not open source it's you can okay it's oh it's not open
source by the technical definition you can see the source code but it's not technically open
source by how the open source initiative describes it because like people can't contribute to it uh
yeah you can't you can you can't contribute to it uh but you can't you can you can't contribute to it uh but you can audit it
and you can't fork it either so you can see the source the source is open but it's not a free and
open source project yeah yeah i i like it um aside from the fact that sometimes like websites just
won't work in the normal view,
but then they'll work in private view.
I don't know if you've had it on Linux,
but sometimes websites will have the CSS completely stripped.
So you'll see black font, white background,
everything displayed along the left
instead of normal background with everything formatted correctly.
So it'll just have one element,
like one hyperlink,
and then a new line,
then a hyperlink,
then a new line,
then a hyperlink,
a new line.
And it's done that for a few websites.
But when I go into private tab,
it just works.
That sounds like a caching issue then.
Yeah, I don't know.
But it works now.
It probably was a caching issue because I did run CCleaner
and CCleaner cleared my cache.
Yeah, I don't know.
I've barely got any plugins,
so it wouldn't have been one of my plugins breaking it.
I've got a bunch of plugins right now.
So let's see.
So I've got...
What do I have?
So I've got Honey.
Obviously, Honey's great.
Obviously, everyone's got
honey uh stylus because i want to be able to easily inject css onto my websites and have custom themes
uh bit tube for the bit tube website which is another video platform
uh vid iq because vid iq i don't know if you know anything about that
basically it's a youtube creator helper tool basically Basically when I I go and do like my
Tags when I do my tags
It will basically suggest tags for similar videos. So if I'm doing like a video on DWM, it'll say okay
If I start typing in DWM it'll say this this is a
DWM tag that's popular so DWM tutorial DWM install DWM this and that basically
it's just it's just popular tag so you can do your tagging better and it will
also tell you how well your video is actually ranking in those tags as well
so it's just a really useful tool to have. Okay. I've got VirtualShield as my VPN
because I paid for it a year ago
and I'm just waiting for it to run out.
I don't really use it that much.
I use NordVPN.
You can sign up to NordVPN
with code nordvpn.com slash pewdiepie.
Yeah, everyone has a NordVPN sponsorship.
I don't.
Nord, hit me up.
I'll take it.
Yeah, they're definitely watching this video. Yeah, I know two and a half hours into it
Maybe someone who has a Nord connection can connect me. I don't know
I've got the steam keychain plug-in
Because I actually don't use steam that much. It's another crypto platform
The hive keychain platform same reason Tron, because I'm doing DLive staking.
I don't use DLive, but
I do crypto staking on their platform.
Basically, it works the same
way as getting dividends for
stocks.
And then I've got
Bitwarden as my password manager
because I migrated from LastPass.
Oh, yeah.
So, yeah, I've got like six. I've only got... I've got Oh yeah So yeah I've got
Like six
I've only got
I've got Honey obviously
I've got a personal block list
So
I don't know
Do you use Google
Or do you use like
DuckDuckGo
I mainly use DuckDuckGo
But
It's kind of shit from time to time
Because it is a Bing search engine
Yeah
So I just use Google
Because
I don't fucking care about my privacy
And
Like under each link on Google There'll'll be a block this website thing.
So if I know that TechRadar is a garbage website that has...
I'm just saying TechRadar for an example.
I don't know.
I don't remember if it's good or not.
I can just click block TechRadar and I'll never see a TechRadar link ever again.
And it will just delete that entirely from my search.
HTTPS everywhere.
It just forces a website
to have HTTPS at the start of it, and if it
doesn't, it'll notify me.
The website you're going to doesn't support
HTTPS.
I've got Chrome Remote Desktop.
It's just a Chrome Remote Desktop
thingy, and it works on Vivaldi because
Vivaldi uses Chromium
Mm-hmm last pass and add block plus. Yep. Oh also bit tube
Comes with you block as well
Okay
Which is nice. I've already got brave anyway, so I have brave plus you block
But yeah, so I also don't have my NordVPN on my browser because I've just got the NordVPN
desktop client.
Actually, NordVPN is real nice because it like, starts up with my computer, I don't
have to worry about it, it connects me automatically to an Australian server.
Oh, so you just, have you just got it on right now?
Yeah, I've got it on permanently.
I've paid for a full thingy,
and I've paid for a full two years,
three PCs.
I paid, I think, $40,
because some YouTuber had an 80% off deal.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
I paid barely anything for it, and I got two years.
And it's on permanently.
I have no lag with it.
It doesn't affect my internet at all.
And for some reason, some websites will be blocked in my area if NordVPN's off.
But then if I go to the Australian server on NordVPN, it'll be unblocked.
It's probably redirecting you...
I don't know.
I was going to say it would be redirecting you through an external server, but then you'd
probably get some performance here.
Yeah, then I'd get a ton of lag.
It's just going to an Australian NordVPN server, so I don't understand.
But yeah, it works.
I don't know.
That's Urbzar.
That's Urbzar.
Yeah. I don't know that's that's yeah and then I can
also just like
immediately connect
to whatever
country I want to
be in
yeah of course
like my
friend the other
day was telling
me about how
zoos in
I think it was
Germany
were reporting
that they had
to because of
Corona
they had to
start feeding
they've got a list now of which animals are the most important were reporting that they had to, because of corona, they had to start feeding.
They've got a list now of which animals are the most important and which animals they can feed to the other animals.
I didn't hear about that.
And I was like, that sounds like big bullshit.
So I went and switched to Germany.
Then I went on Google.de, which is Germany's Google,
and then went on Google Translate and just put in a google.de which is Germany's Google yeah and then went on
Google Translate and just put in the Google.de link so I was browsing from
Germany on German Google translated English yeah and yeah I found like
actual German zoos websites where they were saying please support us we don't to do this? I didn't hear about that, I was like what the fuck? Yeah, that's fucked.
So yeah, anyone who's got some spare cash lying around, German zoos need your help. Yeah look,
you don't need to simp to Belle Delphine, go help the German zoos.
Yeah. She's actually, you know what what honestly she should help them she has enough money
she has enough money herself 1200 something patreons are still paying her money even though
she hasn't uploaded a patreon in how long did lewis say like six months five months i think at
the peak of of her career she was at like 80 grand a month and that's just patreon that's not anything else yeah so i hope like she's a very
smart girl i hope that she's been investing that because if she not like if i'm sure she's not an
idiot and knows this isn't going to last that long eventually she's not going to be able to do this
yeah and she won she will have this day she's going to be forced to make an actual porn video
and then none of
her other content
will get views
ever again
actually if she
does that
that is marketing
genius as well
when she eventually
is like on the edge
of going out of
relevancy
drops an actual
porn video
yeah
her and Mandingo
I love dropping
the name Mandingo
And then everyone's just like
Oh shit
He knows
One of my workmates the other day
Said
Something like
That doesn't work Mandingo
And I'm like
Oh
Mandingo
You know that name He's like oh shit I shouldn't have said that
moving on yes you double chin yeah you can't see my double chin oh yeah cuz of
the beard now mate I haven't a few people ask me to do that lately.
I'm just like, nah.
No, not happening.
It died out for a while.
Back when you were doing your shed videos,
I was commenting on your videos saying you shaved that fucking beard.
You were doing it as a meme, though.
I don't know, maybe you weren't.
A little bit of both.
I mean, back then it was like a real disgusting. Oh, yeah, it was bit of both I mean back then
It was like a real disgusting
Oh yeah it was
It was a mess back then
It was like real wiry
And like not
Like defined at all
Yeah
Now the low quality
Of the webcam
Makes it seem like
It's even better than it is
I do need to trim it up
Like the ends
Are a bit long
But
When the
Like on my view
Of my webcam
It looks like
A perfect beard
So what you do Is just make it smaller And then you're good When the like on my view of my webcam it looks like a perfect beard
So what you do is just make it smaller and then you're good
But I'll say it earlier I need to get a haircut and I what I
Was doing the same thing you did where it was just like get it really short I had a picture of this dude with like a short haircut and I just be like do this do this
Now I'm gonna keep it a bit longer because actually i don't know i think it looks good as it is just but the problem
is i look like i'm just lazy and haven't got a haircut so i'm probably gonna be like dude just
make this a little bit shorter and make it look like it was intentional rather than me being lazy
yeah um see so what i used to get was a three back and sides and then short messy on top and
that was like what i got for years and years i've probably ever since i was like nine or so i got
that same haircut um and yeah i just said like ah do something for me and then he's like yeah
let me give you the wog cut the wog cut the wog cut when i was a kid the haircut i got all the time the wog cut but he was wog. When I was a kid, the haircut I got all the time...
He didn't call it the wog cut, but he was wogging,
and this was the same haircut that he had.
It's just like, do this.
When I was a kid, all I got was...
I got two all over.
Because my mum didn't care.
She was like, this is easy.
It's cheaper than taking you on a hairdresser.
She's like, get the clippers out.
And it's faster than just giving you the bowl cut myself.
Get yourself a bowl mullet.
Yeah.
I wanted some kind of a mullet because I had hair down the back of my head.
You didn't.
I did.
You didn't.
No, you thought you did, but you didn't.
What do you mean?
You would regret it as soon as you had it.
I could just cut it off.
It was not that much help.
That's fair.
But yeah, no.
It was like everyone at work
was just saying like,
Nick, you need a haircut.
I was like, yeah, I know I need a haircut.
Thanks, Mom.
One of the women I work with, Kristen,
I don't know when I started calling her mum, but she's work mum.
I love her.
And whenever I have to talk to other people about her, I forget what her name is because I call her mum all of the time.
When I'm at home, I'll call her work mum.
And when I'm at work, I'll just call her mum.
Right.
When I'm at home, I'll call her work mum.
And when I'm at work, I'll just call her mum.
Right.
I was in... So in our back room,
we've got the double doors that lead from shop floor to the back.
Then in the right in there is the business office,
which is just where all the computers and the guns and the phones charge.
And where all our printers are off and we print off tickets.
And then in there is another room,
which is the sales office.
Yeah, it's laid out the exact same way my store is.
So sales is like,
it's called sales,
but it's really just the store manager's room.
And no one goes in there except the store manager,
pretty much.
And like the upper management.
But mum came out of the the cash office
and was like oh someone fucking stole my stapler so i'm like oh we'll go look for your staple then
went to business i was went around around there couldn't find it i'm like oh katherine probably
stole it so i went into the um sales office and i was looking around her desk and I found it. And then I walked out of the sales office
while mum was still in there
and the assistant store manager was in the business office
and was like, Nick, who are you in there with?
I'm like, mum.
I can't remember her name.
It was like three seconds of me saying, um,
just trying to remember what her name was.
I'm like, mum.
I was like, you know who mum is, mom is don't worry you know i'm sure oh geez yeah no one really
questions when i walk in places because i was i used to be a manager a while back
oh yeah so obviously i probably shouldn't be in some places but no one really questions it
she's like oh whatever probably was asked by tom or someone to do something so you still uh as a cold i am at cold yes yeah and so so you're not managing
now you're just um feeling uh yeah i'm just a night filler now i thought yeah yeah i i do uh
night fill on service i fucked they said over christ like, we're gonna train you on service. I didn't remind them, because I didn't want to deal with it.
Yeah, um, I, when I started, I was doing recovery, and then recovery stopped being a thing, and then I was put onto fill, then they took me for, like, a shift of service, and then I barely did a night for lever again
because I was
really good at service
yeah
and yeah
whenever I
go in there
everyone's always
talking about like
how good I am at service
and I'm like
but I just
do my job
what do you mean
I was never cute enough
to work on service
yeah
it's like
you gotta be so fake
to actually like oh I wouldn't be able to do it because i'd
start like talking shit with the customers yeah like if i could i would talk like like i am talking
to you right now that's why i can't do it but you know can't can't swear can't you know be me
so this is how i talk at Big W.
Good afternoon.
Nicholas speaking. How can I help you?
I'll be like walking around shop floor, like, talking to
my workmates, like,
how you fucking saying how you doing, mate?
Good afternoon. Nicholas speaking. How can I help you?
Sure, I'll look for it for you. Give me a second.
I'm going to put him on hold, and then I'm like,
this fucking bitch wants another fucking couch.
Yeah, for me, I... No, I i'm sorry we actually sold out of that yeah yeah have a look at other stores for
you if you'd like i can maintain that for about 10 seconds then i'm like i'm pretty good at it now
um one of the one of the girls that i work with they're uh using whenever i see her i'm like hi
using and she's like nick you're so fucking chipper i chipper. I'm like, yeah, I have to be real quick, I'm gonna get fired. This isn't the real me.
Yeah, I tend to be nice, like, I don't be chipper.
I'll be nice to the customers.
Like, I'll talk to them as if they're, like, I don't know,
a colleague at work or something like that.
And like an office, not like, not my work,
because I talk shit to my people at work.
But the instant that someone's, like not my work because i talk shit to my people at work um but the instant that someone's
like my age or they walk up to me like hey bro that instantly turns off like what's up
yeah if you start the conversation with hey bro i'm not gonna be nice to you i'm just gonna talk
like i normally do yeah i do that with some customers um like like a like like young younger guys like
hey man you know where this is like yeah bro it's around there oh you'll have
some older guys everyone except for dude bros I put on my my oh yeah it's just
right this way I believe if you've got any left in stock they'll just be around
this corner yeah but there's a couple of, older guys as well who do the same thing.
It's like,
or, I don't know,
he'll just say, like,
he's someone who's, like,
worked in a factory his entire life
and has never bothered
to be professional his entire life
and just, like,
he'll just, like,
I don't know,
if you start the conversation
with swearing as well,
that's when it also turns off.
It's just like, whatever.
You clearly don't care.
But I've got this, there's this dude who comes through occasionally
he's my favourite customer, he's this
really old dude who has a
walking stick and he's had
like a skin graft on his face
and he's the nicest person on the planet
and whenever you
like, whenever he asks, like, where's this product
or do you have anything out back, if you have it it it will make his day he is the happiest person you've ever seen it's like
you have like you walk home and you just bought a puppy and the puppy's just seeing you come home
for the first time that's what it's like yeah well um i like outside of work, I fucking hate old people.
They are smelly.
They are slow.
They are loud.
They just, I fucking hate them, okay?
But at work, some of the old people, they're so lovely.
People, I'll, like, get something out, and I'll spend, like, a minute helping, like,
find something, and they're like, oh, thank, and I'll spend, like, a minute helping, like, find something.
And they're like, oh, thank you so much.
Oh, you're the best. It is nice when you occasionally have those customers who are actually appreciative.
Yeah.
Like, after dealing with toy sale customers, like, why are you sold out?
Because we've got a toy sale, and everyone else got here before you.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I'm going to complain to your manager.
Okay, Karen, thanks.
Yeah, we haven't had, at least I haven't dealt with those people.
Typically, if someone gets a bit irate, I usually find
my boss or someone who I want to
pretend is my boss and let them deal with it.
Yeah.
I remember once, we had this
manager who, he comes back every now and
then to relieve when
other managers go off other places
called Chris. When Chris started, I hated him. He was then like to relieve when our other managers go off other places um good chris when i when chris
started i hated him he was like snooty and boring but i love him now he's like great uh once i once
i had a customer complain they were out of stock or something and i said we had none on order or
anything not on hand uh and i went out the back because he wanted to speak to my manager and i'm
like wait chris can you come tell us customer out of stock like here
here's my gun look at this we got none in stock not order can you just tell
customer bag that same thing mm-hmm and then he went out there and did the whole
I'm very sorry about the weight there how can I help you what you need to know
oh yes nope sorry we've got it on here we've got no hand I can show you other
stores if you like but not the whole spiel that we that we do to customers that
are being pains um and then she like calmed down like immediately and walked off she got like out
of earshot and he's like that fucking bitch Some of the stuff that we talk about in my store
If HR walked through
We would all be fired
Like we've got this old lady
Okay she's a lesbian right
And she is the most open person
About sexual encounters
And she
Sorry my dad's
coming in
even though I told him
not to come in
oh
it's like
now I'm jacking off
but anyway
important things
uh yeah
so she's like
the most open about it
and you just mention
like various food items
and she'll have a story
it's like
whipped cream
banana
uh
apples and just like can you like not for a minute
like even for us it's a bit much sometimes
retail's fun i enjoy it there are so many stories i could tell you about about customers
but there's one story i really wanted to tell you about a customer I didn't even see. So back in 2015, I was 16 years old.
Yes.
I think.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter.
2015 and I was 16.
I was towards the end of the year.
I only started in 2015, so I wasn't very accustomed to Big W and service.
And I walked in, and my boss at the time, Stuart,
fucking hated his guts.
Biggest arsehole.
Stuart came up to me before I'd even signed in and was like,
mate, I've got the perfect job for you.
I'm like, no, Stuart, I'm not doing it.
You can do it yourself. He's like, no, Stuart, I'm not doing it. You can do it yourself.
He's like, no, no, no, you haven't even seen it yet.
I'm like, I don't want to see it.
If you're saying it's the perfect job for me,
I'm not doing it.
And it's like, sometimes when I talk about stuff at work,
like, I didn't actually say this to his face.
I said this to his face.
If you've told me it's the perfect job for me,
I'm not doing it.
He's like, oh, look, look oh look look mate look we don't know
what it is someone could have just dropped their mask but i'm like no i'm not cleaning up shit
stewart i'm 16 i'm not cleaning up shit look mate everyone's cleaned up one in their lifetime. I'm like, I am going to vomit
if I look at it.
I cannot clean it up.
No, look, mate. He just, like,
kept saying, like, oh, everyone's done it.
You gotta do it once.
Fucking hell.
Went on for, like, 20 minutes, like this
grown-ass man,
not wanting to clean up shit.
I walk down there. I get, like,
20 metres from it. I walk down there. I get like 20 meters from it.
I can smell it.
That is not a Mars bar.
That is a shit.
I spent 45 minutes cleaning this shit up off the ground. Fuck.
He found this shit on the ground and got the exercise machine that was next to it,
the rowing machine, picked it up and put it over it so that no one stepped on it,
and then left it for me when I started my shift.
So I had to go and get the cleaning trolley and bring it all the way out.
I got a paper towel, wrapped it around and around and around and around a pair
of tongs then had a bag that i opened up picked up the shit with the the paper towel tongs put
all of it in the bag and then put the tongs in in a of sand, put then sand onto the ground
to then try to get rid of the shit.
Sweeped it up and put whatever it was called,
like Detox or something,
some cleaning liquid on the ground.
Then I had to use more paper towels on the tongs.
I wrapped the tongs of paper
towel and then made a ball of paper towel that I then grabbed with the tongs
to get all the rest of the cleaning detergent off then put it in the bag I
took 45 minutes that was and then like after I'd finished like you could still
see like I was not gonna get all the shit off that ground.
Don't you have service staff?
They come in every morning.
Right.
And this was, like, after they'd already left.
Okay, because my service staff are also the trolley people.
Yeah, no, our trolley guys and our cleaning people are separate teams.
Okay, yeah.
So, yeah. So yeah.
I guess Coles is a bit of a smaller store.
Because we have
in Nightfield we have like
20 employees.
Yeah.
And as well as Stuart being there
who fucking hates
Stuart, he was my
line manager
and then the store manager at the time, Antonio,
ten times worse than Stuart,
was also working that day.
Luckily, he does not fucking work for us anymore.
And then he calls me up, like,
20 minutes after I finished.
He's like, oh, Nick, I don't know if you remember yeah I don't know if this is something that you would
remember oh but about about half an hour ago you clean up a shit yeah I did
don't tell me there's another one it's like oh what what what'd you do with with
the shit after you clean it up like I put it in the bin that's on the cleanest
trolley oh you put it in the bin why did you put it in the bin outside because no one told me to do that
you told me to clean up the shit and put it in the fucking trolley oh why didn't you know to
fucking put it in the dumpster what's the cleaner gonna think when he when he goes into his bin and
there's shit in there it's in a fucking bag he's a cleaner that's literally his job like these people clean the toilets
like am i not like how am i supposed to know that the
bin that has the big like hazardous waste icon on it is not for hazardous waste
it's like everything that i did i put in a bag There is no chance of him touching shit
If he grabs the bag
And then I like
No one fucking told me
That you were supposed to do that
And he's like going off at me
It's like
Mate
Fuck off
If you want me to do a job
Don't make me clean up shit
And also
Tell me how to do the job
Fuck
That's a fun That's a fun shift.
I've had nothing that bad, for sure.
I made a post about that on Facebook.
One of my mates,
we weren't really friends,
we were friends of friends,
Christian,
commented on my post,
like, Facebook isn't your personal blog.
Do you know what Facebook is?
that's literally Facebook social media platform
it is literally a blogging platform
so then we bullied him about it in private
what do you think Facebook was?
a meme platform?
I don't know.
It's not LinkedIn. LinkedIn's like a business platform.
That'd be different. If you want to post it on LinkedIn,
it's like, my boss just made me clean up
shit today. That would be a bit different.
But,
no.
I would have found a new job.
I clearly don't like you there.
I'm just too lazy to
find a job. That's don't like you there. Yeah, I'm just too lazy to find a job.
That's why I'm still sitting here,
playing RuneScape and watching YouTube
instead of at a development team.
Yeah, that's fair.
Doing gaming.
Well, to be fair, the start of this year
wasn't really a good time to look for a new job.
Because you would have been the first person let go.
Yeah.
That was fun.
I think that'll make a good clip, actually.
That's one of the few times where I'm like,
that's actually, like, a solid clip.
Oh, epic.
Wonderful.
Tell my shit-cleaning story.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm not sure how long it went for.
I don't know.
It was probably about ten minutes. I don't know. It was probably about 10 minutes.
I don't know. I didn't start.
I used to take timestamps, and then I got lazy,
and now I'm not taking timestamps, so now it just takes a bit longer.
But I think I'm getting better clips now,
because I actually have to go back and actually look at what's happening
rather than be like, this is when it happened.
Because maybe there's something else that I forgot about
that's actually really good.
There actually was one thing I did want to talk about today.
I've noticed that you've actually changed a lot
over the past couple of years.
Like, back in, like, first year, you were just a massive weeb.
Now you actually seem like a functional adult.
I have become a bit more of a functional adult
because of university
I used to
Year 12, year 11
I did no homework ever
So when I got home
I would get straight onto the computer
And I would game all night
I would have anime on my second screen
Gaming on my main screen
That's all I did
Year 11, year 12
I did no like homework i
know the feeling yeah i did was it was it was at school because it was easy i don't know about you
but oh no i i was the exact same i played runescape the entire time i i wasn't i know i was
watching anime at the time so i was watching anime as well and just did no homework i didn't need to yeah so everything was at school
um i couldn't do my music work at home anyway because my music work was all music tech right
so i needed like the programs that were only on the school computers um but yeah so i just like i
had so much free time on my hands and then i got into anime when i was in year 10. Yep. So I was like at the, I was like two years
into my anime career.
Anime career. And
whatever, my anime journey.
Sounds even cringier.
Anyway, go on. Fucking no, dude. Anyway,
so I got to
high school, I got to
uni, and I thought I could do the same thing.
Then it turned out that I couldn't do the same
thing, because I needed to actually do research and homework and all that then it got up to
like I was barely watching any anime or playing any games towards the end of year 12 not year 12
the end of year three of uni because I only did a three-year course,
and I was doing like eight hour days programming, Monday to Friday, and I would get home and
I would just be too tired to do anything. I'd just like turn my second monitor off,
I'm too tired to pay attention to two things
at once and i would just play minecraft yeah or i would just sit there and watch anime um
not even that much i watched anime though and then i got into that project that i was doing
eight hours a day programming became an internship that i was then doing five hours a day
ten to four right and that's not five hours a day that's that that's doing five hours a day, 10 to four. Right. And-
That's not five hours a day.
What's that?
That's not five hours a day.
Five hours a day.
I didn't say five hours a day, I said five days a week.
Oh, you said five hours a day.
Did I? Yes.
I meant five days a week.
Okay, yes, anyway.
So I was doing that and I would just be literally sitting
at my computer in Unity, in Visual Studio, programming the entire time.
And I would go have a half an hour break to go get lunch.
And that's all I would do all day.
So I was just mentally drained.
And I just stopped watching anime.
It was so abrupt.
I think I sent you a message on Discord.
I just realized I haven't watched any anime this season. I don't sent you a message on Discord like I just realised
I haven't watched any anime
this season
I don't think you have
I don't think you have
maybe you have
I don't know
I don't know
I think I sent that to you
I don't know
I didn't
either way
it got up to like
March
and I'm like
what's even airing this season
like I remember
like the new season
would start in anime
and I would be like
okay I'm watching
these seven things this season.
I think I watched two animes.
I've got a bunch of stuff downloaded.
I just haven't watched it yet.
I'm starting to go back and watch some stuff now.
I just didn't have time this year.
Let me just log into my Plex
and see what I'm actually at.
Because for me, as you know i was
watching anime i was watching 30 things a season for my first couple of years at uni
i somehow managed to balance that that was insane um so i was doing i was getting hds and everything
spending like fuck knows how long on uni stuff and then still watching 30 things a week which was stupid um
then we got to last year and i was still watching some anime i watched a bit less but the youtube
stuff started picking up and then i started doing it daily and now that i'm here i'm doing my final
year of uni and i'm doing daily videos and it's just like i don't really have that much time for
the anime stuff i still watch some and i still want to go back to it now that I'm
back on break and I'll probably be watching more over the break but when I
think about what I could be doing there I'm like I could stream during this time
couldn't I that would be fun because that would be like an extra thing I
could do alongside my channel that would obviously be an extra income source and
be just an extra fun thing i could do
so it's like i have this time where i could be doing the anime stuff or i could be working my
business and that's kind of how i'm feeling about it now yeah um so yeah i've got my 2019 anime up
here so i watched all the way through astrolots in Space, Dr. Stone, Isekai Cheat Magician,
and Ascendance of a Bookworm.
Five animes.
Last year.
The entire year I watched five.
And then I have
Do You Love Your Mum?
and Two Hit Montantagra attacks.
I watched halfway through that
and that was garbage.
Aw, that's fun though.
If it was for my daughter
I'd even defeat Demon Lord.
I watched four episodes or so of that.
And then someone told me that it turns out that she grows up.
Stop.
This is a spoiler for a really good series.
It's a fucking garbage series.
No, it's amazing.
I'd do anything for my Demon Lord spoiler, starting now.
She grows up and then they get married
and that's fucking disgusting because
she is his daughter and
no, yucky, ooh.
So I dropped that
before she even grew up because I want her to be
a pure little girl and not
grown up, married teenager.
Ooh, yucky.
Okay, spoiler's over now.
Good, you can come back.
Cautious Hero, I watched a few
episodes of that. I haven't dropped it,
I just haven't gone back to it.
Same thing with Demon Lord Retry.
Oh, wait, Cautious Hero's really good, yeah.
I forgot what that was for a second.
Fuck, what's the Japanese name? I don't know.
Anyway, go on. I don't know.
Flex translates all the names to English. Ah ah makes sense i i know the japanese names of most of them but like it's
got the english names here yeah um yeah demon love retry i watched like three episodes and i'm like
oh this is just um re-zero crossed with like overlord or something i don't know re-zero on
something else um and i dropped it cop craft know ReZero and something else and I dropped it
Cop Craft
I watched one episode
and dropped that
and then
to the Abandoned Sacred Beasts
I watched one episode
and
it's still there
I can watch it
so it's alright
and then I've got like
six others
that I haven't even started yet
yeah there's a couple of things
that I'm I've still got on my list,
but I'm like, I might just drop this.
I've watched a bit more of like this season's stuff.
Well, not this season, this year's stuff.
Infinite Dendrogram, really enjoyed that.
Darwin's Game.
I haven't finished that yet.
I still have three episodes left.
Fucking amazing.
I read the manga,
so I'm way ahead.
Darwin's Game is probably a fifth of the way
or a sixth of the way through the manga.
Yeah.
And it's very fucking good.
I love Darwin's Game.
I was very excited when I saw that airing.
The Eighth Son, are you kidding me?
That's airing this season.
I read the manga for that as well.
I'm very excited about this anime.
Same thing with Tower of God.
Oh, yeah, I need to...
I'm still on last season right now.
What?
Last season of anime.
Oh, like the last season of Tower of God
was another season?
Yeah, no, that would be good.
Yeah, Tower of God is very good.
I read the manga,
but I gave up on it about two
years ago because i moved from my manga reading app manga zone to like manga storm and then
manga storm didn't have tower of god so i forgot it existed for a while yeah yeah but now i'm on
touchyomi which is the best manga reading app i've ever found and it's fucking amazing so if
you're not using touchyomi and you need a new manga reading app Tachiyomi
and then there's like
four others that
from this season that I've got downloaded because my brother
watches anime now
yeah I'm looking at the list for this season
and there's a couple of things in here that I do want to check out
obviously
Tower of God
I also want to watch the second season of Kaguya Summer
because that is really good
I like my rom-coms
I guess I should
I've heard bad things about it
I guess I should finish off Shokugeki no Soma though
Food Wars
I hear that last season is garbage though
I've got Fire Force downloaded.
I should probably watch it.
No, you should watch Fire Force.
Fire Force is actually, like...
Drop everything else you're watching and watch Fire Force.
Yeah.
I watched episode one and it was, like, fucking gas.
Apparently...
Wait, July?
Are we in July or are we in June?
We are in June.
Oh, damn it.
Sword Art Online!
Yes, next season of SAO is coming out.
Did you...
That, the ending of last season,
because they did a splitcore,
was the worst ending I've ever seen
to an anime season ever.
I don't remember what the ending was.
Sinon showed up, and then it ended.
Like, literally it ended.
Oh, correct, yeah.
She's just like,
Hey, Asuna!
And then end the episode, end the season.
Yeah.
I'm excited for that i love that um re-zero hasn't even started airing yet and they've already got re-zero season two part two
set for next year i am excited for more re-zero i hear that it gets really good from that from now
on yeah i'm just i'm just very excited for zero like fucking like i love zero but i'm just
not excited that season two is a two core and the second core of it is like a year away like a full
year away i think it was like july next year also finish fire force so you can watch the second
season that's that's coming out next season as well two weeks weeks. Next season, okay. Season coming up. Season coming up.
Um, what else?
The God of High School up here is actually pretty good.
Yeah, um, there's a manga of that that keeps coming up that I recommended, but I don't
want to read it.
Mm-hmm.
Wait, did you say...
There's like 500 chapters or something.
I just found something I haven't seen in a long time.
It's a trashy harem series.

This is obviously a light novel title.
Oh yeah, absolutely.

sure i i fucked up a lot but i am an intellectual you a Japanese university. Yeah you did, so did Aiden.
Oh, bruh, it's... okay yeah, I lied, doing Japanese at a uni does not make you an intellectual.
This is from Sukaweru Enix.
I don't know what you just said.
Sukaweru Enixu da.
That's Square Enix.
Oh.
If you watch any Square Enix anime, that is one of the title cards.
It says Sukaweru Enixu da.
Oh lord.
There's not actually much next season that even looks too interesting.
You're looking at this on Anyulist i am looking at my anime

Funimation
Funimation
They dubbed three episodes
And then realised that it was a porn
Do you know who ended up
Ah, when
Do you know who picked up
In Species Reviewer
After they dropped it?
Who?
It was one of the big
Australian ones.
Anime Lab?
Yes, it was Anime Lab.
So everyone on Reddit...
Anime Lab is the only Australian anime place that I know.
So on Reddit, everyone was like,
how do I VPN to Australia?
Which is nothing that anyone's ever said before.
Why would you want to come to Australia?
It's like, we have nothing over here.
We have Stan.
We have interspecies refuels
and we have Neighbours.
That's all we have.
You probably don't want to watch one of those.
I'll leave that up to you to decide.
I don't really think I want to watch either of them.
I watched enough Neighbours when I was a kid.
Yeah, no. I don't's i i don't i really
don't want to ever watch that series again when we were kids we we made our own um like a parody
of the of the neighbors intro oh lord neighbors pick your bomb and taste the flavors
no one outside of like Australia and the UK
Is going to have any idea
What Neighbours is
Oh lord
Neighbours is garbage
Neighbours is garbage
Home and Away is slightly better
But it's still garbage
I'm trying to figure out
How to look at next season
Season any Probably change that too What are you looking at On any chart I'm trying to figure out how to look at next season.
Oh, season, any, probably change that too.
What are you looking at?
On any chart?
I'm trying to look at any list.
Oh, I don't know how to use any list.
Fuck if I know.
Use any chart.
You were on any list.
You just sent me the link to it.
Oh, no.
How were you looking at next season's anime?
Oh, any chart and any list are linked together.
Oh, okay. That's and any list are linked together. Ah, okay.
That's the link to next season.
What's coming up in fall?
Yeah, I see quite often, like... Manga that I read being adapted, so...
Let's see if there's any...
I'm sorry!
Did you...
Wait, did you watch the...
Did you watch Mahoka?
Mahoka? No.
Oh, okay. It's a really shit light novel series from a couple years ago, and it's getting a season two.
For some reason. Some reason.
What's- what's Mahoka?
Uh, it is.
Is that some fucking Maho shoujo?
No, it's a- about- it's a harem series about people in a magic school.
But uh, third season of Darmachi is coming out which
I'm excited for oh yeah I ended up watching the side series oh yeah wait yeah magic high
school yes so I started reading it then I downloaded the anime and my brother
watched it and I haven't yet. Apparently, brother-sister incest stuff, so I don't know if I do want to watch it.
I'm not into incest.
I don't know if I want to actually watch the show.
I think that's a pretty standard position to hold.
But I've read Most of Darmachi
And this season
If they adapt it properly
It's going to be really good
Last season wasn't that good
But now that we're getting into the Xenos arc
It's going to be really good
What else do we have?
I forgot that Bakugan was airing again
Because I started watching Bakugan in English
Is it?
Yeah What? Yeah, so started watching Bakugan in English. Is it? Yeah.
What?
Yeah, so they did Bakugan Battle Planet.
Have you watched any Bakugan?
No, I don't care about that for a second.
Gochuman, where Saiki Desukawa's getting a third season.
Why is it getting a third season?
I don't know what that is.
It doesn't matter.
You don't know what it is.
Here you go.
Anyway, you were saying about Bakugan. Yeah, Bakugan. You ever watch Bakugan? I've watched a ton as a kid. Yeah, so Battle Brawlers was like the best season ever. Yeah. And then
they did New Destroyer and then they stopped it. I only watched Battle Brawlers. You didn't
watch New Destroyer? I think I watched an episode.
I saw it on TV, but I was already too old
when that stuff started coming out.
Yeah, I was too old.
I watched it anyway.
Oh, I'd go back and watch it now, but...
I could, but it's probably garbage.
Oh, absolutely.
I'd watch the Japanese version, surely.
Yeah.
I started watching Battle Planet,
which is their new season of it.
And it's too formulaic now
back in the day it was
Dan Cuso and his friends
fighting against
the
masquerade who turned out to be
Alice and it was this
full serialised thing
episodic
it wasn't episodic it was like you need serialized thing, like episodic. It wasn't
episodic, it was like you
watch each episode in order.
But this one is just like
this episode Dan learns
how to be friends with his Bakugan
and this episode he learns to not
post nude pictures of his friends online
because that has bad things
for the future.
Every episode is like a 10 minute like
teaching children how to not be dick bags right yes I watch if you have that
and then the place that I was watching it stopped putting the new English
episodes on there mm-hmm so I just stopped watching watch the English
version because I fucking watched it when I was a kid and it was on TV.
Okay, that's fair.
I don't want to change to Japanese voice actors when I'm watching a cartoon.
Oh wait, is it the same characters?
It is. It's the same characters, but not the same voice actors.
Right.
But it's a completely different art style and they hit reset on the universe.
Right, okay.
So it starts off with um
actually no i think it's just the main character is the same so it's still dan still dan kuso
but his friends are different and he's now like eight years old again right and the bakugan um
instead of how it worked before where you know bakugan and cards rain from the sky it was like meteorites landed and
Dan is a YouTube sensation so he was like filming this this meteorite land
and he went up and found it and there's a Bakugan in there and it's like
YouTube sensation he he and his friends have have like this website that they
run even though they're like eight-year-olds they're like this website that they run even though they're like eight year olds they're like a website
where they're like
very very famous
and then they
became Baku
brawlers so
they're like even
more famous now
right
but all of the
bad guys always
know where they
are because they
have a website
where they
live stream
constantly
how do they
keep finding us
I don't know
maybe we should turn off the little robots maybe that should be the ultimate lesson us? I don't know.
Maybe we should turn off the little robots following us.
Maybe that should be the ultimate lesson of the series, don't have a camera on yourself all the time.
It's just a- the entire thing is just a story about a surveillance state.
Yeah.
Oh lord.
Yeah, it was alright.
Aside from the fact that, you know, it was just, like, preachy little...
Don't make your friends unhappy
or else they'll stop being your friends.
It was still fine.
But supposedly, because of the fact that
they made the original anime based on...
Like, they made it based around
being able to make toys of this stuff.
Sure.
The actual game that you could play was garbage.
And the rules are just stupid.
Sure.
So they completely redesigned Bakugan,
and now it's an actual game that you can play competitively,
and it's not just for kids,
because they realized even though they're making it for kids, they now know that it's not going to kids because they realized like even though they're making it
for kids they now know that it's not going to be kids that are playing the game yeah you got to
look at what's happened with pokemon yeah like kids are going to collect the figures and put
them on their shelf and maybe they'll ditch them at their friends heads but they're not gonna they're
not gonna get build a jack out of the cards and roll the card onto the things and play at tournaments like that's gonna be adults
so they've made like an actual
comprehensive rule set
yeah the people who have money to spend like $1000
on a deck those are the people who you
want to entice to play it
people like me
who have money to spend
$140 US dollars
on four copies of
Mox Opal and Mox Opal gets banned and then I lose 900
dollars!
Whatever it was, 140 times four, times whatever the fucking US conversion rate is.
That doesn't sound like fun.
Yeah.
Magic the Gathering, a very expensive fobby.
I always take the piss out of Kung for spending all the money on Warhammer figures.
And then you realise you're just as bad.
I'm just as bad.
He at least has a thing he can do with them.
He can be like, I'm going to paint these things and then I'm going to play with them.
Yeah, and I just play with them and then I go 0-4 at tournaments and I'm like, oh.
I'm actually not as good as I thought I was.
I need to spend more money. I need better
meta. I need better cards.
I have not got perfect
meta yet. Yeah, exactly.
The
reason that I lose is because
of the type of decks that I play. I play decks
that are very easy to interact with.
And by interact with, I mean my
opponent just plays one card
and I'm dead.
It's like, my entire game plan revolves around
activating abilities of artifacts,
and then they play one creature that says,
activated abilities can't be activated.
I'm like, excuse me, what?
I have ways to kill creatures,
but the ways that I kill creatures
are activated abilities on artifacts
so I can't kill the creature
good game, permanent
the way that your deck is being beat
is just Yu-Gi-Oh meta
it's just like, oh, one turn wins
is just Yu-Gi-Oh meta at this point
because that game is so broken
yeah, it's essentially whoever goes first
just wins
I've had Yu yugioh
explained to me by a few people that play yugioh that doesn't sound fun like you may as well just
just roll a die and then say hey yeah i won i've because of some like politics stuff that's
happened with uh magic recently i do know like a tiny bit about magic and i know that
like with a lot of other card games it's had a problem of uh power scaling over the years
oh yeah yeah every set just bring that broken shit where like you can look at like some of
the old cards you're like why would anyone ever play that at that time it was actually a good card
but yugioh has that problem but it does it by like, timesing everything by a thousand.
So it's like, oh yes, you can do 40,000 life points on the first turn.
I'm sorry, what?
Yeah, like, set your opponent's life total to 100. Do 1000 damage. Those are two cards that exist.
Like, early on in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, people joked about, like,
oh, you can't play that many cards in one turn,
and now you can.
You can just play your entire deck in a turn, basically.
Yeah, it's like, you can only normal summon one monster a turn.
But yeah, now there's 20 different ways to summon stuff.
You don't need to normal summon.
You normal summon one guy,
then you tribute that,
then you tribute that,
then you synchro,
then you create the overlay network and it sees summon,
and then your opponent's dead.
Broken game.
You can't attack on the
first turn, guys. You don't need
to attack to do damage, though. You can just
sacrifice this creature,
sacrifice this monster, and it deals damage
to its power, to its final.
I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be like a
some big into Yu-Gi-Oh at this point
like how would those
tournaments actually go down
it's like
it'd probably be easier to do them
online because you just
you roll the die
and then you walk away from your computer if
you lost right if you lost a die roll basically is isn't it yeah um that's what people would
have done against me in magic arena um because arena is the online magic um it's only like
newish cards um so i i I took it upon myself
to play the jank artifact combo
that I always play, but
just different, because there are different cards in the arena.
And so my opponent
literally walked away from his computer, and I could tell
because
when you
click pass into end of turn, you don't get
prompted to
respond to an action like certain
actions so i would like cast a spell and normally you would have to click like that spell resolves
but if you click pass it just water resolves um so i was just i was doing my combo for like half
an hour taking infinite turns each turn i was doing things to draw cards. I finally drew
my combo piece, which is Darksteel Reactor.
It has a trigger so that
at the start of your turn, you put a
counter onto it, and then if you've got
20 counters on it, you win the game.
But for some reason,
Magic Arena is coded in such a way that
when you pass into
end of turn, it
lets spells resolve,
it lets activated abilities resolve,
and it lets some triggered abilities resolve,
but not all triggered abilities auto-resolve.
So I was doing all my stuff,
triggers were happening,
then I'd go to my upkeep,
and the trigger would happen,
and it would wait for my opponent to click accept.
Right.
And then you've got a timer,
so it would take 20 seconds to run out the timer, and then you've got like a timer so it would take
like 20 seconds to run out the timer and then it would automatically resolve resolve after that
and then i'd go do other things triggers would resolve nothing would happen to my opponent
i got my next turn and then the trigger would have to resolve i'm sitting here like i want to
actually win but it's not gonna let me because he has to wait for it to resolve or i have to wait for him to let it
resolve but if you time out i think it's three or four times in a row you concede the game right
so he's just going to make it annoying for you to win the game yeah so like he walked away from his
computer didn't even care about the game anymore i was going to win by getting 20 counters on this
artifact but i never got to do it because he walked away and
he conceded when I was on 4 counters.
I wanted to do
the 20 counter win, but
very sad.
So I always
just build
really weird win
condition stuff
in magic.
Because the normal way to win in magic. Because the
normal way to win in magic is you
do 20 damage to your opponent
because you start off on 20 life, you do 20 damage, you win.
You get creatures, you attack with creatures
or you cast spells that do damage.
I don't
like doing that though. I like making my opponent
have no fun.
But I usually have no fun
myself.
People play
things like, get rid of your creature
so you can't attack me. Like, aha, I wasn't going to attack you in the first place.
I was
going to play a card that says I win the game
if I have this really weird condition.
And you never have that condition.
No, I mean, in modern
people can't just do that.
People would just let me do my combo.
Or there's this card called Emrakul.
It costs 15 mana.
So in a normal game of Magic, each turn you gain one extra mana.
And by turn 15, you have 15 mana.
But no one ever actually casts Emrakul because emrakul is way too expensive you want
to be winning on like turn four not turn 15 so they'll use like cards that say put a creature
from your hand into play and then it dies at the end of the turn so they'll like put emrakul into
play attack once he's a big creature he's got 15 power So 15 damage And then he'll die
And then they'll get him back later
But I play decks where
I get tons of mana really fast
And I get to play him
For an actual mana cost
And when you actually play him
You get to keep him around to end a turn
You don't need to kill him
It's like It's really jank People don't need to kill him. It's like, it's really jank.
People don't like versing me
because they have to actually get rid of him.
And he's got protection from Instants,
and Instants are what the majority
of the creature removal is based around.
So you can't kill him.
Too bad.
Back when I was into Hearthstone a lot,
I would do the same sort of stupid decks,
which was like, this is not actually a meta deck.
I'm just having fun here.
Yeah.
When I played Hearthstone,
I just got all of the cards that say,
make a bunch of creatures,
like a Firemind's Portal with seven mana,
do five damage to a thing,
and then create a five cost minion.
And then I found out my deck that I brewed just had a bunch of freeze a creature, kill a creature, make a creature.
That was actually a meta deck that people were actually playing in tournaments.
And I just put all the cards that I had into a deck.
and I just put all the cards that I had into a deck.
My favourite deck from early on was my Murloc deck,
which if you haven't played Hearthstone,
basically a Murloc is a... They're generally really weak creatures
and you don't play them as a main thing in your deck
unless you have nothing but Murlocs in your deck
because the thing about Murlocs is they tend to buff each other so there's like a murloc that will give each like other murlocs extra attack or a murloc where
you have other murlocs on the field it'll summon another murloc or you have like one that'll
you have like a legendary murloc which boosts up everything a ton and it's just a stupid deck when
it falls into play properly the problem is basically every Murloc can be defeated by
nothing, because they have one attack.
So you can just ram anything
into them and they just die.
So it takes a while to get
an opponent that will actually fall
for a Murloc deck, but when it happens, it's so
fun.
Well yeah, there's stuff
like that in Magic, but they're called
Murfolk, not Murloc. And a lot of them just say other creatures you control well yeah there's stuff like that in magic but they're called merfolk not merlock
and a lot of them
just say like
other creatures you
control have
or other merfolk
have plus one
attack plus one
power and then you
get five of those
out and everything's
now like a cheap
creature that was
a one attack one
defense and now
they're like six
attack six defense
and there's one that
says like for each
mirth work you control create a mirth work token which is another creature that's got one one but
it's it's garbage to one one but then you have five creatures that give them all plus one plus
one now you've got like 10 the six sixes well there's this other fun card that this wasn't
here when i was playing the murloc deck it would have broken the game if it was out back then uh all your murlocs cost one so you can just you get to turn
like six and you just throw your hand out every turn well yeah there was this there was an amazing
card in hearthstone when i when i was playing it was legal in like every format um and it was
whenever you cast this minion you recast every single spell you've cast that
game oh yeah i do remember that and if you had played that creature already you recast every
single spell that you cast including that creature which then makes you cast all of the spells that
you cast again so you would by the time that you'd played the second that you cast again.
So you would by the time that you'd played the second one
you'd be playing everything with spell
three times.
And so if your spells just did like
one damage to a target
that's like four damage
or something that you've done in that.
And then like things that make you
just draw cards
you draw a fuckton of cards.
Or just, like, minions.
You just get...
You flood the board with minions.
Mm-hmm.
It was so good.
That is...
I never played one of those decks,
because I could never afford that,
because you had to, like, build stuff with sparks or whatever.
I think it was called Dust.
Dust, yeah.
And I never had Dust
Because I didn't play it enough
To actually accrue enough
Or you'd have to buy decks
And then scrap your cards
To get Dust
That was the other way you could do it
Or buy packs I guess
Not decks
Yeah
But yeah
I never bought packs
I never put money into the game
Yeah, I was the same
Free to play
I never built any of the game. Yeah, I was the same. Free to play.
I never built any of the broken decks.
I wanted to build the Jade deck.
Did you ever play when Jade was a thing?
That one's not ringing a bell.
Yeah, so there was this thing called a Jade Golem and every time in a game that you make a Jade Golem,
it's stronger by one right so like the
first jade that you make will be a one one second one will be a two two three three four four and
there are a bunch of cards that just say make a jade golem right right um and then there was this
like infinite combo where you can there's a card that says
either make a Jade Golem
or shuffle three
copies of this card
into your deck.
Oh lord.
So you would have one
of those in your hand, you would
delete your deck
and then shuffle that back into your deck
and your deck is only now that one card that
makes jade golems so you like draw for turn make golem you put more copies of that card back into
your deck and then you'll do that again next turn every single turn you'll be making this
this huge huge golems and just be swinging for like tons of damage that is why the
competitive for Hearthstone now only
has like two of the most recent
two of the most recent deck sets
you can use
you can't even get the older decks anymore
oh you can play wilds
you can but you can't actually get those older cards
you have to have an older account to have them for when they came out
yeah
I think you should still be able to like craft the cards an older accountant to have them for when they came out. Yeah.
I think you should still be able to
craft the cards. You can craft them, but there
were still some mission cards you couldn't get.
Or quest cards.
And some of those were really good.
That's no fun.
Yeah, magic.
All the cards exist in paper and online.
Yeah, you can buy them for as much money as
they would sell them to you for.
Yep.
But there's no such thing as a secondary market.
Just trade for them.
Just trade cards one for one, right?
Cards don't have actual value.
No, not at all.
No, they definitely don't cost $8,000
for a Lotus, whatever it is.
Black Lotus?
$8,000.
Sure, okay.
Yep, that's a car.
That's actually two of my cars.
Yep.
There's a car that I'm playing in my 7-point Highlander deck,
which is like an entirely Australian format of Magic.
But they allow you to print your cards out.
You don't need to actually buy them
at most of the places
where they hold tournaments
one of the cards I've got is worth
$1800
and I'm not going to build this deck
out of actual cards because I'm not spending
that much money on a card
yeah, I'd spend
$140
you should just go to a joke tournament
with the most expensive deck possible.
Yeah.
There's a format called Porpoise.
And it's essentially cards and magic have rarities.
There's common, uncommon, rare, mythic.
And in Porpoise, you're only allowed to use common cards.
But even though it's just common cards,
there's still very expensive decks in Porpoise.
But what I want to do is, as a real funny,
buy a really expensive Porpoise deck
and then play with it unsleeved.
Because if you know anything about magic,
you sleeve your fucking deck.
Because by shuffling it or by like just not storing it
correctly like your cards will crinkle and they'll get like whiting on them where like the edges of
like smash yeah yeah i used to play pokemon i saw the same thing happen yeah yeah so you're like
you have to sleeve and like i i double sleeve so i get a Clear inner sleeve
And then I put that into a coloured outer sleeve
Right, okay
Most people double sleeve
Everyone at least sleeves
But it's pauper, right?
It's only the cheap common cards
So why would I need to sleeve the deck
Even though it's hundreds of dollars
I'll be back in just a moment.
Sure.
We are way past the reasonable limit for the length of a podcast.
I think this is the longest one now, by far.
Wonderful.
I need to take a piss for the last hour.
I always knew I was the longest.
Hmm?
I always knew I was the longest.
You are the longest.
I'm not sure who's second place is now.
Maybe...
Maybe Marty's episode, I reckon.
Maybe Marty's first one.
Or his second one, I don't know.
Fucked if I know.
I wasn't expecting this one to go for so long, to be honest.
All good. Yeah, it's definitely been fun that's for sure
And I haven't even touched on most of the topics
I don't know what the hell we've talked about during this
I don't fucking remember
Big W
Uni
Anime
You not being shit
Yeah that also came up
You becoming an adult
Oh yeah yes
I'm now
groin man
well I guess
what we can end it on
is uh
have you seen
the PS5 memes
oh fuck yeah dude
like I mean
they're a bit old by now
they are
and they'll be even older
by the time this podcast
comes out
he he
um yeah so
probably my favourite one that i've seen
i'll try to try to find it now um it was uh kaiba as a ps5
yeah yeah i know you're talking about yeah here we go i'll show some on the screen here's uh
here's uh here's josuke as Xbox.
Yeah, Josuke.
And it's got Crazy Diamond as the PS5.
Yeah.
And we've got this one here with Polnareff as a PS5.
Yeah, this is going to be way old news by the time this comes out.
I don't even care.
We talked about Belle Delphine. That's going to be old news by the time this comes out, I don't even care. We talked about Belle Delphine, that's going to be old news by the time this comes out
as well.
That only happened yesterday for us.
Actually wait, that one.
Oh yeah, this one I've seen.
Here you go.
This one's better.
Yeah that is pretty good.
I sent a few of them to a friend but I can't find them. pretty good they are pretty good they are like reddit tier memes but you know
I can enjoy them there are some pretty good memes on reddit there's a subreddit
called magic the circle jerking because Because, you know, magic is called magic.
Yeah, yeah.
And, yeah, they do some pretty funny memes sometimes.
Like, they'll just, like, remove letters from cards. So the card just reads weird shit.
And they especially go on a
mtg-ladfetcher, because there's
a subreddit called mtg-cardfetcher
that is used on the
MagicTCG subreddit. So whenever you
put two square
brackets around a card name,
it'll go on to mtg-cardfetcher and
find that card and put the
image in the response.
And mtg-ladgefetcher, if you put
any words at all
into two square brackets,
it'll get a random post off the
top now.
Whatever it's called, like hot thing.
And it's just like random
shit.
And there was like edit cards.
And like,
it's probably not funny to you, but it's fucking hilarious to me.
Here's the link if you want to have a look at it.
Generally the extent of my Reddit is I farm video ideas from Reddit.
So yeah, there's crab.
10 wish coin crabs.
Mana cost is 30 and then 10 blue.
And it's just a creature.
Crab, crab, crab, crab, crab, crab,
crab, crab, crab, crab, crab.
I feel like this would be funny if I played magic.
Yeah.
I'm just
confused about what's happening
right now.
Yeah, me too.
I don't know why I've been scrolling through stuff perfectly fine on the screen. There could just be something slightly not safe for work that pops up, but she'll be right. We're not live streaming, you can just cut it out when you edit a video. That means I have to edit the video. I already have to do it to fix up the audio anyway, so it's not a big deal, I guess.
I already have to do it to fix up the audio anyway, so it's not a big deal, I guess.
I actually still have a video to record after this.
I might leave it till next week and just do another Double Day or something.
Because it's 2pm.
Or almost 2pm now. 2pm now.
There's this card in Magic called Colossal Dreadmoor.m. now this is card in magic called colossal Dreadmoor yes I'm saying yes I know I say yes I know that's the thing anyway go on yes do you know I have no
idea I've no doubt you talk about so it costs six mana, is a six six, and has trample.
And that is literally the entire card.
Six mana, six six,
and trample.
So six six just means
it's a six power,
six toughness.
Yeah.
But what Wizards did,
Wizards of the Coast
is the company that makes magic.
What Wizards did is
they printed him
three sets in a row.
Now usually, they only print a card once in every three or four sets
because Standard is the most recent three sets.
So if they want it to be a Standard-played card,
they'll put it in one of the three sets.
Then it'll rotate out eventually, so they'll put it in the new set
so that it's still legal to play.
But they put it back- back in three sets and ever since then they've been just all these memes about it
and there's this one here very large scary mouth and it's just um they they have made a card
that is not colossal dread more but if you look at all of the rules together,
it is a 6 mana 6-6 Dinosaur with Trample.
Even though it's creature type says Human Shapeshifter,
but then it's got Dinosaurling. This card is every type except for the ones that aren't Dinosaur.
And as an additional cost to cast a spell, pay 3.
So it's 3 mana, but you've got to pay the additional cost of three.
It's actually just a 6-6.
And then very large scary mouse, power and toughness are each equal to
the number of cards in your hand,
multiplied by the number of cards in your library,
divided by the number of cards in your graveyard,
times two, times times zero plus six.
So it's just six.
Just a six six.
Just a six six.
It's like every single thing that
made that creature
that creature has just been
replaced with
Clotted Redmoor.
And then I commented on there. You should be able to see there um one r1 shman 69s reply to
louis salmon and i got 21 upvotes wow that's impressive yeah look how big your e-peen is
it's probably one of the one of the biggest uh upvote count i've got on a comment so far
i mine was probably from years ago back when I would just say stupid shit
because I was a dumb kid.
Now I'm just like, I don't want to use Reddit.
I literally have all my subreddits in an RSS feed reader
because I don't want to see the comments.
I just want to see the topics.
Yeah.
Good content. Reddit's actual garbage content. It actually is, yeah. No doubt.
No doubt.
Like, from time to time you run into something that's passable, and then other times it's
like, what?
What is this?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Yes? You were gonna say something? Why am I here?
Yes, you're going to say something?
Are you alive?
No, I am.
I saw someone comment on Reddit.
Someone replied to my comment on Reddit.
And I'm like, was I talking about programming on a magic subreddit but no i think he's just talking about sublime which is like a sublime's an ide right uh it's a code editor but close enough
yeah um yeah because he said sub over dub and i'm like ah i see your maniculture as well
like sublime of atom i'm like i don't know what you mean by sublime
over Atom.
My comment had nothing to do with sublime.
Yeah, why would that be there?
Alright then.
Okay.
Maybe we should wrap it up, because we're getting close to four hours now
and I want some lunch.
I want breakfast, yes.
Yeah.
So something I've been doing lately is giving a shout-out
to just some random other channel at the end of the podcast.
Whatever you're interested in right now.
Could be...
Me?
Yes, could be anything.

He's quite big
I've been enjoying him quite a bit lately
Also Friendly Geordies cool channel. He's quite big, but I've been enjoying him quite a bit lately.
Also, Friendly Geordies.
Good Aussie comedian. Yeah, if you care about
Australian politics,
all one of you,
then
come check out Friendly Geordies.
Because Friendly Geordies is
pretty, pretty great.
Yeah.
As for me,
I should probably think of ones before I start the video.
If you need more time, I can shout out more people.
I got someone.
Since we're on the topic of Australia anyway,
and the guy came up earlier,
go check out Lewis Spears he is a
phenomenal comedian on his YouTube channel he does mainly commentary stuff
where he was just like roast whatever so you've got the the bell to the fagin thing
that came out he did a video on twitch's new safety council where he put a
spelling mistake in the thumbnail.
He talked about the Karen meme,
talked about Marvel's new superheroes,
Snowflake and Safe Space,
and a bunch of other fun stuff like that.
So yeah, go check out Lewis Spears.
Great content.
Pretty awesome dude as well.
I met him when I went to his last show.
I should have gone to his last show. I paid for tickets and then I realised the day after
that I had tickets to the show and it was last night.
And you should come to the next one then. I don't know when it's going to be, but...
I'm on the gig list. You can get on the gig list too by going to, I don't know, giglist.com
slash lewisspears?

lewisspears.com slash giglist.

Maybe next time Neil comes to South Australia,
I need to go to Neil's show as well.
Neil Kolhatka for anyone who
doesn't know about Australian comedians,
which is probably most of you.
I thought you were saying Neil Breen.
No, Neil Kolhatka.
Yeah, that should be pretty much everything for this show.
So was that all you had to shout out?
Nothing else?
Also, if you guys are into D&D Check out Zee Bashu

He's also relatively big, I believe
Yeah, 379k subs
Zee Bashu
He animates things
He's got a series called
The Animated Spellbook
Where he plays a character
for a few minutes and tells you about a cool D&D spell that you might not know how to use
or like how the actual rules about it work and yeah really cool really cool
