We used to be gamers

0:00 Welcome to a very special episode of the stand up. We are gonna have a stand up that will end when this task of Ralph ends in the background. It's just gonna keep on chugging along and we'll see what it builds at the very end. Or this podcast will end before it. Oral and afterwards, you know, it's just some condition I put on there and we're not really sure.

0:21 Uh, anyway, sorry. This week we've decided that the new cycle just not that much fun, you know, going on Twitter. It hasn't been the highlight of my week. So therefore we're gonna do something a little bit different non-tech related. What is your favorite video game or games? I don't want to necessarily limit it to just one because that's, that's too hard.

0:38 Yeah, we don't need to do it. You know what? Actually, honestly, that's usually how we do that is you can't just give like, hey, what's your favorite thing and you give like a couple answers? Like, no, what's your favorite? And ask what's like a handful of things? I asked for your favorite. Are we picking just one?

0:51 Yeah, favorite right now. So it doesn't have to be favorite all time. So this is not like, oh, put it, ocarina of time when I was 10 years old with the most meaningful game I've ever played in my lifetime. All right. Oh, hi. Okay. All right, now that I know the rules, that's easier. All right. Now, I know, vegan, you've traditionally been banned from video games for the last, like, what decade at this point?

1:10 But what is your current favorite video game? Honestly, I've been playing terraria alone. Okay, is this why you haven't been responding to my DMs? Yes. Okay, all right. Because you're bad at terraria. Is food poisoning terraria? Yeah, it's just food poisoning. It's just a quiz. Is food poisoning in the room with us right now?

1:28 All right, what is this game? You've never played terraria? No. It's 2D Minecraft. It is amazing. It's 2D Minecraft. Like, you picked different classes. It is passion. Have you ever played Minecraft? Yeah, I hate Minecraft. Yeah. You hate Minecraft? Minecraft's the only game that I get motion sick from.

1:43 It's the only game. There's no other game that I get it because it's the perspective is a little bit off all the squares. So like, this slightly diamond shape, and I've just never been able to get used to it. I don't agree with that, not at all. It's not not just fall. Oh, install any NPM modules lately.

1:55 I don't know. Why? Yes, I have. Sorry, sorry, reference Twitter drama. My bad, my bad. Already back to Twitter drama teach. Come on. Yeah, my apologies, my apologies. Honestly, we should all, I wanted actually plan a little session with the squad here in play terraria. That would be fun. You play hardcore mode, you know, where you die.

2:11 But it's the classic thing. You dig for materials, you build weapons, you fight bosses, you build worlds. It's all like a platformer instead of 3D. Is it like, is there any like skill in the platforming involved, or is it really just like, we're digging, we're doing stuff? Incredible amounts of skill.

2:26 Incredible. Probably you wouldn't be able to do it. Honestly, I know that won't work, but we'll also do it. There is an entire, someone built a 32-bit computer in terraria, which guys, there's actually a video primary act in that two years ago. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so you can build terraria. Someone built a 32-bit computer in this video game, because they actually give you all the games.

2:43 Is it complete? Yes, 100%. No, they built a computer that's not terraria complete. Well, I was getting at like, does it actually work? I was getting at, does it actually work? No, no, no, no, no, no. Great question, Trash. Okay, no, Trash, they made it a little easier. They literally were like, cool.

2:57 Here's wires in every single gate. They just, they literally like, here's assembly. So it's even, it's really, really easy. Also, I've been using it, this is crazy. But I've been using chat GPT to design terraria circuit, to design through me. Excellent. Is it actually good at it? Oh, I believe that.

3:13 It literally prints out exactly the schematic. Like you tell it, what's it want you tell it? How you want it to evolve? It's really, literally, the first one worked right away, and I've been going further. So if you want to build, so that he built 32 big computers, I'm working on a 33-bit computer. Damn.

3:28 I don't want up him. So, yes. I don't even know what that means. But, well, that's 33-bit. It's one more bit, Brian. I have to say, just because people haven't been following us around all week, my favorite thing so far was we were talking to Josh about 32-bit float sound. Yes. I made the joke, I was like, oh, well, I prefer 64.

3:47 It has double as many, and you just acted like that made sense. OK, so 32 times 64 is not. You're still going to keep laughing again. 32 times 2. 32 times 2 is 64. Yeah, that was. Yeah, you keep doubling it. Right. So why am I wrong? No, no, no, no, no, 32 times 2 is 33. Great point. That is 33. Yes.

4:07 OK, OK, a little Tara's Howard math. OK, down with that. Hey, for every action, there's a reaction. Hey, guys, look up exponents in your free time if you forgot it from, like, fourth and fifth grade. Hey, is that HTTP? Get that out of here. That's not how we order coffee. We order coffee by a SSH terminal dot shop.

4:25 Yeah, you want a real experience. You want real coffee. You want awesome subscriptions. So you never have to remember again. Oh, you want exclusive blends with exclusive coffee and exclusive content. Then check out Cron. You don't know what SSH is. Well, maybe the coffee is not for you. Terminal coffee in hand living the dream.

4:51 So Terraria. Terraria is mine. I think, honestly, I'm excited. I'm actually going to do a little programming in Terraria this year. And I'm trying to also convey. You guys got me saying Terraria. It's Terraria. Terraria. Yeah, I'm trying to give it to you. I'm trying to give it to everyone. I'm trying to give it to one point.

5:06 You're saying you knew it if he said Terraria, but you didn't know it. I tried to look it up and I googled Terraria. It brought up a bunch of plants. And I was like, all right, I don't know the game. I play a plant game where I make virtual Terrarians. By the way, Ralph said it's gone. OK, great podcast.

5:23 Seven seconds. Great podcast, everybody. We didn't even acknowledge. I love Galactus. I'm very happy here. No, but seriously, with Terraria, can you do plug-ins so we could say plug-in a server? Like mods. And serve something off of, like, serve something off of it and do all of our programming in Terraria.

5:39 So we've got, OK, that's not how I do it. Good news, good news and bad news, OK? Actually, you can't. Good news and bad news. You can't do mods. Bad news, you have to do it in C-sharp. That's fine. There's something called Chad Gippity that can write great C-sharp for me, so I'll never have to learn it.

5:55 Oh, I didn't know it. I didn't know a new C-sharp yet. That's awesome. That Microsoft remembered the whole Microsoft open AMP. That's where they bought it. OK. They've been preceding it with C-sharp knowledge this whole time. You can definitely not it. It's cool. And I also do think I've looked at some of the mods.

6:10 I think everyone out there are like video game players who are modding it. They haven't had like, like, clinically insane programmers modded yet. So I think we're going to take it to a pretty good level this year. OK, I like that. I would be, OK, so with that in mind, this being your favorite game right now, I would be down to do like a week.

6:27 Like, what can you build in one week? Wait, so it's whatever game we pick, Prime has to play for a week? No, that's not what we're doing. OK, I was just wondering, because I was thinking, OK. I'm going to change my answer to anime girl feet picks. I know I don't think so. No, I was going to pick. I'd have to think about it more.

6:43 But I didn't know that was on the table. I was just recalculating. Well, I'm going to see your list to this. And this seems like we could do a lot of cool stuff with it. And so it's just like, OK, well, we have Twitch chat. We have YouTube chat. We have a week. What if we all sat down and said, what are we building?

6:55 Can you save terraria games to get? Can we find a way to do version games? With code, all things are possible. With code, all things are possible. Except for traveling salesmen. You could still do it. We just don't know how to solve it efficiently. OK, a tough guy. Sometimes. Is that even considered solved if you can never actually see the answer?

7:17 Yeah. Is a problem ever solved if no one sees the answer? OK, now we're getting the philosophy. That's next week's podcast. That is going to be a great podcast next week. All right, Brian, what's your favorite game? Right now, my favorite game has been Slay of the Spire. It's been Slay of the Spire for the last six months.

7:32 It's the only outlet that I currently have that is non-programming right now or family-related. Can I be honest, the reason why is it addicted to Slay of the Spire is because it's on his phone. Did you get him on Candy Crush? It's so easy. He's addicted. I have no first off. I can't because Candy Crush is too much luck.

7:49 I hate Candy Crush. I hate it with that sense. That's what a move would say. Candy Crush is fun. I'd play it like 10 years ago. Also, yeah, I played it 10 years ago. It was very, very frustrating. But the reason why is that... Candy Crush was very frustrating. There's 1,000 grandmas and moms playing it all day.

8:03 That's because, OK, I'm going to say something that's going to sound really me now. But I'm just going to say, I think that you have to have not a lot going on upstairs to enjoy Candy Crush. OK, that's what I'm saying. It's a toilet game. It's a toilet mind game. Wait, wait, wait. So you guys play mindless games in the toilet?

8:21 That's what I do my best thinking. I do my most... I do challenging video games in the toilet. That's what I'm saying. It's a sweet one. I like to usually pick my civilization next turn on there. Because usually, right now, where I'm at, it takes me 20 to 30 minutes to exactly choose what to do over my whole turn.

8:35 So usually I can get out one turn when I'm in there. Why are you laughing at that? You would be the absolute worst person to play Sim-Wit. OK, first of all, I play Sim a lot. It's one of my other favorite games. And I'm really good at it. With humans or with computers. OK, I just have a lot of other humans.

8:53 Just like Terraria. Do you get strikes me as the one guy who, like, when it's his turn, everyone gets up and makes snacks? Yes, yes. You would also be horrible to play Catan with. Like, I'm asking, I'm horrible to play Catan. Hey, guys, hey, guys, hey, guys. Big it, no one likes it. I need logs. Yeah, it's like we don't have logs.

9:08 No, no, no, no, no, no, I need logs. Yeah, I need logs. I need them now. I need logs. It won't let us turn and it does someone traits a lot. I know one of you guys have logs. I know what? I know what? I know what six was rolled last round. Give me your logs. So I know I'm going to give myself a few. You have three logs, Prime.

9:21 I know you have one log left. He's hard-canned. I know I'm going to get more trouble for this, but I did Kid Vince Lindsay to play a couple of games and match the gathering with me, but the style of match the gathering I've been working on is how to build like little computers and infinite loops in it.

9:34 She was not happy with it. So you can build little actual infinite loops. Like there's four card infinite loops, two card infinite loops. So that's my goal. And then so when I'm playing with her, it's like, okay, your turn. Good, we're teaching it fantastic. Now for my turn, 45 minutes later. 100%. And so she quit.

9:50 She won't play with any more out of it. Who could have saw that coming? I just can't even believe this. So I'm like, aren't you impressed? Aren't you proud of me? Look at I'm a computer scientist. Look at me. Look what I've done. Is it like draw for cards and then you kind of just keep a nice card? Yeah, it'll be something like a draw.

10:06 Every time you draw a card, you know, you're able to discard a card. If you have a new discard a card, you're able to add an extra guy. Every extra guy you had, you can draw a card. Uh oh, we're in a loop. I also do this online. And I have, I mean a lot of people have done this before, but I crash the, uh, match the gathering arena often when I get on purpose.

10:24 That is the, that is the point on the only goal. How many cards does it take? How many times around this loop does it take for it to crash? Oh, for those ones, well, those first ones, one turn. But I might, I might have something like, uh, I mean, the loop of like discard a card, get a guy, maybe like 70, 70 times, but it's not just about like the loop.

10:46 It's about what you're gathering because each time I make things more and more. So I, all I'd have things where it's like every time I make a new food, it makes a new squirrel, I mean, you squirrel, I make, makes a new rat. And then I say, all times I make any token, double it. Science. So, so then, so yeah, those, so then it's like when I'm doing this loop, I go one loop around two pieces of bread, two squirrels, two rats, one more round, two pieces of squirrel, two breads, two rats.

11:08 And I just keep doing that. What do they grow time? Yeah, I was about to say, because 70 times that is a hundred. No, no, no, no, there's, there's, there's, there's exponential ways. There's other exponential ways. There's ways of saying, take whatever the highest attack power is and add it to all of your creatures.

11:23 Right. So that means what's going to happen, right? It's going to move up. Double and then double. Exactly. Exactly. It's a times two malt. So I got really excited about this. And then I got on the internet and it's like, I'm going to make some friends who play magic. And then it was a thousand threads of, I'll write it up, people like, I won't play with these guys.

11:38 Anyone who's into doubling and doubling tokens, they're the worst. And I was like, I thought I found this on my own and I thought I, I didn't know. Shocking that vegan went and played magic, figured out a strategy that makes people not want to be his friend. Okay. He sounds like social members right now.

11:52 I don't like the whole guy. Ever. Trash, we got to get you over to magic. Pokemon ain't the way. Okay. We're going to get you. But no, no, you don't play Pokemon. Yes, you do play Pokemon. No, no, you can. No, you can't. You see what he just said there? He holds on to Pokemon. There's a vast difference between playing.

12:06 Well, I think Trash, you would be doing the same thing if you were in the magic, right? You just be holding cards. Is that the, is that the joy of it for you? Grabbing it. Yeah, yeah, right. That's what I'm saying. Let's look at the value of collecting them if you don't play with them. I like the look at them.

12:19 So are you the guy that I really, my waffle catching my office and I'm just staring at my seal collection. I'm like, so cool. So when you make a Lego, do you just put it on the shelf? You're just done. You make a Lego. You put it on the shelf. I rip it. So I have a seal collection. No, when you put a Lego together, some people put it on a shelf.

12:36 You put Legos together, Lego would be the company. No, each set is a Lego. Legos make a Lego. He's not going to understand the circuits aren't going to connect there. Okay. I don't understand. This is why he gets the infinite loops and magic right here. But I'm saying there's two types of people, there's people when you, when you make a Lego set, that better.

12:56 You just let it sit. Other people like myself, I will make a little spaceship and then I go like this. That's like the fun of the Legos is after you build it going, not, it's appreciating and value on my shelf. I play Bay Price. That's what you do. Well, I'm not going to sell. I'm no intended selling at least now, but I like to just look at it.

13:17 All right. So bad to play the Spire as a thing that I really, really like. I like to play the Spire because I keep losing at it regularly and I feel like I should be better than, better than TJ. But TJ's ascension 19 on this guy and it makes me very angry that TJ's ascension 19. It's a high IQ game. So normally I played Iron Glad and I think I got up to 10 or 11 on my last phone in this phone and I'm back down to six.

13:41 It doesn't sink between them. I don't know why. I'm signing to the same Google thing. We don't have that technology. It was lost. It was lost, TJ. Ever since COVID, we lost the ability to sink between phones. Again, we don't know what's sinking between devices. What's your Google, like little handle that a generated for you?

13:57 I don't know, but it has a guy at the top hat and that's all I know and I'm not going to say the email that it's associated with. The line is like Corellius Jelly and it makes me laugh every time. I don't know exactly what it is. I've never seen all of the letters closely enough to pay to the user name.

14:10 I think you can, but I just like this and it goes, yeah, and then it goes away. So yeah, I probably have someone like Corellius Jelly and it makes me laugh every time. You just slugged. Yeah, exactly. Wait, Prime, do you only play Slay on your phone? Yeah, the ceiling game. I tried to, okay, so I did download Clash Royale so I could play with my kids and then I played for a little bit and I just went, man, this game's kind of stupid and I just don't want to play it because I don't like any kind of like buy-to-win games and it definitely has a lot of buy-to-win mechanics in there.

14:38 You got to play, yeah, you got to play for a long time either you're grinding time or dollars now. It's just like I don't really want to do either. So, my teacher, when you play Slay this time, do you play on your phone, play on your computer? Well, say on my computer. Okay. A little bit on my phone though.

14:51 Okay. Yeah. My computer's higher. My computer's my like further. I just feel like I play so much better when I'm on my computer. I like being able to press one to three four five. 100%. Yeah, I agree. Well, I also just like, I don't know. This feels good. But I have the dumb thing where it's like when you swipe from the bottom of the phone, that's what makes it go to like show all your apps.

15:08 Oh, yes, yes, yes. Because I don't like the buttons because I like the like, I live on the buttons, I live on the buttons. I like that I have approximately 0.25 more inches of screen real estate for absolutely no reason on the bottom by making the buttons go away. So then I like the josh. I don't like how big you exaggerated that.

15:27 Is it not, how much do you think it is? Well, considering they're that big, I would say like a centimeter. That's pretty close. You said to five. Oh, I thought you said 2.5. This is America. Don't be talking about a centimeter. We don't believe it. What's a centimeter? What's a centimeter? What's a centimeter?

15:42 How are you comparing inches to centimeters? Anyways, they don't convert. That's like apples to oranges. Thank you. Finally, someone who understands. All right, trash. What's your game right now? What about you? Hand me trash. You know, we didn't even acknowledge that we're live together in person. Great point, trash.

15:56 We're live together in person. Did you know that? I didn't realize. I missed that intro. I'm just going to call it trash. Do the intro. And we'll put it at the beginning. I'm the worst anxious. No. I do want to come in there. I just one thing I am a little bit shocked about is the fact that you showed up this really nice place with this really nice studio in a Tostito sweater.

16:16 It's such a succinct one. We snack in the day, boys. I'm taking it home after we're done. Also, I cannot believe that they sponsored trash diff. I cannot believe. Yeah. I've not seen the sponsored many people. I can't really actually get sponsored. I was plugged in. But it literally says trash dev on the back because it is with this jersey number.

16:31 Yeah. It's a jersey number. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Tostito. Please sponsor me. Somebody in the middle trash. It's what? Free snacks. Wait, what? Don't you think it looks like two people and then they got like a kid with them or something? Oh, that's the extra. Got another hand. Two people and they're dipping a chip into salsa.

16:47 Yes, that is the logo. Well, I was thinking that was the kid. Wait, hold on. That is the logo. Yes. It's two people sharing a chip, dipping it into the red salsa. Whoa. That's my level. That's my level. It's so blown that two people would share a chip like out of all things to do. That just never shared a chip with your wife.

17:03 No. That's disgusting. Why would you hold the same chip anyways and dip it together? I mean, it's romantic. You've seen Lady in the train with the noodle. Yeah, but it's not the same thing. You can't hold on it at all. It snaps like a little whisper. Different cultures have different things that they like to share.

17:18 That's fine. Yeah, what do you want me? It's chips. You're calling yourself a different culture. Yeah, we share the chip. I'm not a dog. He is from the Midwest. That's a totally different culture. And they're in what New York in Lady in the Tramp? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I was like, are they? I don't even remember the movie.

17:35 Yeah, we're doing a little. We're watching after. They share a noodle in that one. My mind is blown that there's two people. I know. This is shocking. Are you sure? That's like, that's like, I don't, I mean, I didn't ask anybody from Tostitos before I made the claim, but I'm pretty sure. No, that's true.

17:48 Yeah. Tostitos. Leave a comment. Tostitos. He loves you even more now. I know. Plonsor. He definitely does shield Tostitos off camera. Yeah. Sometimes we're like, okay, dude, we got it. Actually, we actually don't like Tostitos at all. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now we just, we shut. We were this close.

18:08 We almost had him. We almost got our first text. We were surely. I'll do the dip, but that's all I care about. That's what I think they have such a wide range. I'm just kidding. Something must appeal to you. There's lime. Chips. Oh, no. Oh, you like that? Yeah. Wait, have you had the scoops? Scoops with the salsa.

18:23 I do love scoops. Scoops are pretty good. We're back. We're back. We're back. Scoops are a convenient. Yeah. Scoops are a convenient. But here's the deal trash. Like, if we're going to be out here trying to sling you some sponsors, like, you can't just torpedo the first one or get new because it really makes it hard for any followers.

18:38 We're out of time. It's just like when Mark Zuckerberg followed him around in New York and kept going. At every eating. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

19:18 Yeah. The challenge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a problem. Yeah. Yeah. And then the next thing is you can have a group of your friends and get the catch a hundred Pokemon in a week. That would be like an example. Okay. How do you find your team? Just friends. That's like. I'd define your friends based online.

19:42 Okay. It's like you get to the next spot and they're just like hey go get 20 feathers for it. It's just like What else can you do in Pokemon go besides catch Pokemon you can like raid with your friends What is raiding me? I don't know cuz I don't raid So you know I think I think you lose just like you guys attack some gym together. Yeah, okay sick and that's like about all I know Yeah, okay, huh, so you know, what's what's that Pokemon go my favorite game is Starcraft one or two Part of the swarm or legacy of the void but also as a quick aside when are we doing the RTS 1v1v1v1?

20:19 It's four different RTS's because that's what we need to come back to that later Well, the latest one would be Wings of Liberty Starcraft 2. Yes, by the last time I played wait wait wait No, no, it's legacy of the void, isn't it? I thought that's like that's like the that's like later Wings of Liberty is like when Starcraft 2 first came out. Yeah, that's what I mean so Wings of Liberty is I didn't even make it to legacy of the void He's saying latest one he played. Oh, yeah, are the swarm so good Is that like the one right after that? I don't even remember don't even know trash. What do you play? Yeah?

20:47 What do you play? I'm a zerg player and I'm high masters Top 25 masters almost a grandmasters Okay trash Magna lie like so when Twitch was like Justin.tv. That's what I was playing like Charlie You were actually masters in 2000. It's like 2012 something like that. Those are the hard days Those are the hard days. I was hardcore at land part of my house probably also hard because like the only people still playing Incredible pros. They've been playing for 20 years. Yes, they memorized everything They used to go like local tournaments get beat by 10 year olds get really mad You know, all right, so that's what I started to just yeah, that's like when I stopped playing I was like I can't believe it just lost this kid with no job

21:29 Of course you won. Well, it was here. What was your build? Well, what was your like your go-to? Oh depends So I mean when you want even to get to the big leagues. You got a scout. You got to see what they're doing Wow, I'm saying yeah, yeah, and then you do what you do whatever you just counter whatever their plan is Okay, so you were only countered you never aggressive I mean, there's like a standard there's like a standard like default thing where I don't remember like the formula, but it's like At like nine you overlord at 12 spawning pool and then it's like kind of like cookie cutter for the first 10 minutes And then you just kind of depend on scouting. It's like how you would usually open up

22:03 Yeah, man, it's what's your favorite unit trash my unit the roach Okay, so it's called a roach and then you can like you can burrow them and then when you burrow them the heel So then you can do this thing where like do you have to be on your like on the goop to heal or does it heal anywhere you know As long as you as long as you're on like the the creep thing they call a creep Yeah, that's I meant yeah, so around the creep you move faster and you heal faster I believe okay, so like you have to use your queens and spread the creep Yeah, I was like I've always been until like like even with movies like war movies I like the strategy between like about warfare and you know, I'm saying so I know for saying so like in my mind

22:36 I'm like actually in this battle and I'm like, you know I need a I need to like flank from over here have a distraction over here And it like really just consume me and man I just I just try to take it as far like I'm like really obsessive once I get into something I try to be a Pokemon. We've seen you're in the right group. Okay. Yeah, it's like it's like it's like I just like It's like my life becomes that like the Pokemon like episode on the right now is very much like Can I like a cool episode?

23:00 Also calling it a Pokemon episode is sick the other way you can start calling it an arc. Yeah, and to be honest This is also why I start using them so oh, yeah, it's the ultimate RTS editor exactly So it's starcraft for programming. Yeah, exactly. It's exactly. I feel so when I first started using them before like I even got on Twitch and Figured out. There's like cults and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like oh my goodness. No cult It's not a cult like when I'm coding. I'm just like oh man I feel like I'm playing starcraft and it was just like so exhilarating I'm just like even I'm just like mindlessly doing stuff like I don't know what your top APS APM. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, you measure an amp. We slow

23:37 Slow, nice low in the actual like starcraft game like a couple hundred like as a zirc player That's like normal because you're just mindfully spamming Yeah, yeah, yeah, but if you're like pro toss or tear and it's a lot lower because those are I don't then Hard to play. Yeah, tear it is so hard like I as a zirc player It turns like the worst person to play against so I was like I'm gonna start to become a tearing player But man, you have to like your brain you have to split your brain into like five different. Yeah, turns out of friends at the Terran is the only race I can't play it. No, it's insane like there's definitely like a cap of what your brain can just Handle at one time and then if you can't get past that like limit

24:12 Then you won't progress in starcraft because you have to be able to do like 16 of the one time So I think we might have a little starcraft tournament. We have to have one stipulation. Okay, we have to only play it on N64 What you know it's out on it. You know it came out on N64 Really, so you have to play with an N64 controller. Can you imagine are you sure you're not confusing it with a command conquer?

24:33 I am 1000% not confusing with command No way, it's on I know that's all I know that's Back Do a quick back. That's a play come in and conquer hard so in college We didn't have you couldn't be couldn't actually like it was we were stuck on an intranet basically Yeah, so my whole like engineering floor. We just played seeing oh, I am right starcraft Starcraft 64 is a 2010 to 64 port at the popular PC strategy game. Yeah, so imagine starcraft where you're That sounds terrible. No, it's just easy So instead of like having a bunch of keyboard shortcuts, you just slowly go First off, we play starcraft. This is starcraft to household There's you know I kind of feel like somebody who maybe like you know like you did if you're if you're around a friend who's been sober for a long time

25:30 Like it's best not to drink. Oh, it's a good. I'm just letting you know like right now I'm feeling something inside of it because I love starcraft like that was my jam for a good decade When I tweeted it I sat there and I had my gaming PC in my closet and I was like let's just set this up But I have no room. Maybe I should buy another desk Maybe I should have a dedicated game easy It's dangerous, but then there's like a but I have a one spot in my office And I'm running out of room for my Pokemon cards. I was like man, I gotta pick I'm actually at a room. I'm like actually hit my limits. I have to buy some shelves. I got it But seriously, maybe a shipping container Put it on a little spot. I want to see it all the time. I'm a troll shipping

26:12 Yeah, you need a comic control. Sure. Uh, have you played some of the newer starcraft to because it doesn't sound like you have Uh, do you know about lurkers? Yeah, yeah, so I got into it. I mean, I took it pretty far I think I played a little bit at legacy of the boy, but I'm talking about when I was like Climb in the ladder. Yeah, okay, I'm trying to be pro like I try to legit be pro So like I don't know this is such good Lord, but I don't know if you know this like I played Counter Strike professionally for about two years before that Really and Lord what yeah, I played Correct. What is going on? Yeah, 2000 Trash are you saying we can can we find clips of you playing professionally?

26:49 There's like maybe one clip on YouTube That you can watch I'll show you after this pretty good FPSes. Oh, I was really good I know, but are you on my own teammates if you see this don't talk trash about me. Okay. Yeah, good point your name is trash You can talk about trash. So can you still play like can we hop on apex legends and go well that's a completely different game Yeah, but it's still at least I'm well. I'm so wash dude. Allerant geez. Come on Okay, I'm so our graders Yeah, it's to the point where like I expect myself to be as good as when I was like in college So when I play for like 30 seconds, and I'm so I suck. I just get so mad. I'm so competitive and we're slower now Slower hundreds of milliseconds. Yeah, so yeah, so it's embarrassing. I got dial-up speeds now going out of my head

27:33 Yeah, so I was on a team based out of Maryland and we used to just do East Coastlands And then we would travel to Texas and do international tournaments trash. That's so cool That is a no joke that's dude. I played like 14 hours a day. It was so bad during went We are way out of college. So like 2005 2006 dude, so when I was doing my music thing I had a laptop and when we were what's the music thing you can't talk about that but when I was on tour I would bring my gaming laptop with me and it will just be like in some brinky Dean Cotell And hopefully they had Wi-Fi and then I would just practice on bots shooting practice in my head shots They're like what are you doing? I was like practicing and then when I came back from like tour

28:12 I would join like my clan and then start playing again Maybe like I've been shooting nothing but heads I've been doing only gym work. You have to you have to be dedicated to the craft like I said I'm like I'm just I'm just obsessed over things and it's just like It's good and bad. It's good and bad. So we just found out like five games. That's a lot of lore drop. Yeah Yeah, it was good. I love that. I would say now though it's Pokemon go. I would say that you're Pokemon go Dude we're talking about like the most intense first person shooter of all time One of the highest APM games of all time the most intense strategy. Yeah, I just keep Pokemon go Yeah, I walk around and I go like this. I'm actually scared

28:49 I'm actually scared to set up my gaming computer because I will just start playing too much So I actually had a problem where I gave up games and I was like okay, I'm playing games too much I'm gonna stop playing games and I'm just gonna and I'm just gonna code instead of gaming I try to do that and that's how I like That sounds familiar And then like then I like progress pretty good and coding is like cool But now think I want to play some games. Yep But man, I'm worried about it like that's why I haven't kicked on the old the old things is because it was it's dangerous Yeah, so I'm saying Because I did do a little a little bit of a dabble in Fortnite for a while Oh, I want to do a Fortnite thing. Yeah, I want to like a quick 400 hours and just like a couple months

29:34 I was like I got I got to get I was like pretty good at building when you were able to build I'll like you like you she won blood of me and I built a mansion. Yes, I'm like a hotel with Wi-Fi is what I I was ready dude I tried to be a Fortnite streamer for a second And then so I would have like the typical like whatever my name is on this for ttb And then they would I would kill someone and they'd go into my stream and just make fun of me and I'm like this is this is sad Wait, you had the what is it you so you have to like do you have like your twitch?

30:01 Yeah, you're twitching when it's for a ttb. Yeah, so when I like body somebody they're just like to come in your neck Well, you lame. I'm like you're all right. Maybe this game's just too toxic for me. Maybe I shouldn't do this anymore That's Fortnite so toxic. It's too toxic. He just can go back to CS Dude, I played league for a while, too, and now Is there anything I'm playing like Master's also. No, I actually sucked really bad. Okay, it was actually could we do a thing to see Pass bronze can we get out? I could not get out of bras. I say really in my head. I was like a diamond player like I'm so good My team When it comes that I try to get my friend to climb me out. I was like take my password. Just give me to like silver or something

30:48 Wait, promise me league. No, I've never played league. Okay. I was like I was like I've definitely met a lot of people who've decided to have a horrible time. Yeah, I have I have lots of friends who are like Hopelessly addicted like it's not funny. They don't talk about it in a happy way. They're like yeah I have an addiction. I hate it. I play it every day. I hate it And I'm like, what are you talking? Why did you play? I'm addicted. I'm like to what if you keep saying you hate it I don't fully get the league relationship. Yeah, the funny thing is like so the people that I played like counterstrike with There's like a core group of guys. They think they can be good at they took counterstrike way further than I did

31:21 Yeah, but um they stay as a group and they're like what game can we play and potentially go pro as a group again? So like overwatch All that stuff. So they'll just always try to find all these games are like five player whatever and like how can we go pro So that's kind of like how I find out all these other games and try them out. Yeah, but like when you have that like competitive mentality You just want to be the best in every single way. Yep. You just want to like Just want to make them cry. It's called you just want them to sit there. Come be a little bit maxer. I know I've seen this guy before Yeah, it's not nothing better than a Noob stomping I will say smurfing does like I did I did element a few times in halo, but it does feel good when you're just like

31:56 All right, I'm gonna start up a new account Doing someone bodies me on my back as smurfing that guy's 100 cents smurfing. Who is he? It feels because you're in wrong They just made a new account and just crushes me It feels good. It feels good I used to like to set up in perfect dark, you know, 100 bots on the you know, I meet perfect dark First off, you can only have at max eight bots on the Nintendo 64 perfect dark and I prefer judge sim 007 wrong. Oh my god, you can have a way. I think that's number one. Okay. Okay, perfect dark Vegan did you play 007 with the golden gun? I mean, I did, but I was perfect dark person because double Double seven compared to it sucks. I heard it. I just like the same. Oh, lame. What are you talking? It's leaving one million times better

32:39 In the original perfect dark the maximum stimulant count in the comment simulator is eight Allowing up to four human players and eight bots 12 and total as I said because I played perfect dark easily Let me see what let me see what you're searching. How did you get that answer? Oh guys? He's using the AI overview Oh, yeah, the AI overviews real who are you going to believe?

32:59 Would you like me to go to game frequently asked questions game packs.com. Oh, well, let's go actually that's one of my That's actually speaking of old video games. I still live on that thing dang. I actually used to go to cheat code central I was more of my side do game shark. Did you ever get into any of the game shark cheating? No, no No, game shark would require buying a device in as a child so exciting now sadly. I had the my my I broke with what do you call them abuse appearance? And so they wouldn't let us have any games that weren't educational and so Is that what you classify as abuse? Oh His parents would celebrate his birthday either. I don't know. I got those advice. I didn't I don't know what I thought you guys are joking. Oh my god. Yeah, so so yeah no birthdays and then no

33:37 I wasn't getting video games. So I had to buy I had to buy everything myself So for the super SNES. I was able to successfully over the lifetime of our system. We were able to acquire three games I took oh, there's six game dollars games are actually more expensive back then than they are today There's $60 each uh, yeah, so don't count country one. Nice. Okay, I'll say over. No, I see K1. It was so amazing still a good game This is so bad and I thought it was the other Kirby game. I saw a friend playing a Kirby game. It looks so fun I saved up for ever and then bought it at Sears and I was terrible Then I didn't even get the right one. I bought uh, the the the bean Kirby what the Kirby like it's um Tetris

34:18 So I got it and there's like a dream land or no, not dreaming It was I can't what it's called and guess what I still play it all the time Only game that I'm good at and so I'm like this is all I have like a dr. Mario type. Yes, dr. It's exactly dr. Mario and then the last one which my dad did help with Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball He's like okay, I'm gonna play game So that was all I was able to acquire for these SNES for the lifetime of me having it no extra games So I only have played three games but I'm very good at them and then once I got that matches your personality better Anyways, though. Well, what do you mean by that?

34:55 I mean began plays exactly the same thing over and over and over It's how I became I became a speedrunner because I just played Donkey Kong Country over it over it over It'd be the faster be the faster be the faster and then I once I learned what speedrunning was I'm like that thing I do it was literally like how fast can you be well, I mean like what's the record on Donkey Kong? Oh, it's so fast It's so fast. I got I used to know the actual stats It's like bugs to where you can skip levels like Mario. Yeah, there's I thought no it's not quite as crazy in Donkey Kong But yeah, there are crazy skips and there's actually a guy void that I watch on Twitch pretty often like working on that record and then I play that game and then

35:28 Donkey Kong Country 2 which I did not own as a child Thought I bought as an adult and I play a lot he wrecked on his life and bought it DK2 has like the little one the little dude his name is well first of all Diddy is in both diddy was it Dixie is in okay is in Diddy was in those games Yeah, you know, they've been told no, no, he's actually one of the saddest in my heart. Did he have an island?

35:48 Yeah Don't let you know, but the Donkey Kong Country universe Donkey Kong universe. They've been trying to erase Diddy from it I think because no, they keep something mentioning diddy is it like diddy parties and It's just everything sounds bad with Diddy I did you were you the one that showed me the Joel Havier or whatever Cartoon of the Donkey Kong on the Donkey Kong 64 yeah, no the actual games I had growing up that it you'll games that my parents bought me is I played in cardin 95 You ever play that someone out there had in cardin 95 That's an educational game isn't there's not a game. It's an encyclopedia. Yeah, that's your computer and it's got a couple games So I had the encyclopedia games it was like my compact persario

36:35 Yeah, yeah, and I used to go hard on those. Oh, that's all. Yeah, I was going Yeah, when you said I was like that's an educational No, no, that's my parents only would buy educate so I had that I played this is bad One math blaster. I'll have you know, but math blaster. There's like 30 of them for math I had all my math blaster gap deal is two or whatever the plot progresses in the math blaster universe two So they're in the same universe across the different game 100% 100% and it's you've been in an island full of monkeys And then in the monkey law. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Carlos Diddy Island? Yeah, no, there was a hole. Yeah, yeah, but a lot of educational games And then I remember finally you're getting old enough to go over to friends house and be like cool

37:11 What kind of games you got you guys got in karta? She has got like we're playing super Mario world I was like oh my god. This is actually fun and I'm like I was like where are the quiz questions? It doesn't make any sense the games I play are all you watch a little video and then they ask you Hey, what was number seven's job?

37:31 And also that's what I'm very very bad at games and I would go over to friends houses and I'm like so bad So sheltered I can't participate and then once like people got into like the first person shooters in halo They're like vegan you can't play like you can't be on our team for halo like it was like Okay, prime is so good being can be with prime. That's how it all I was always making it was so much even to nerf them And it was like in yeah, so yeah, all right What's good? I always had the problem of I'd play halo especially halo three with because I played with the internet And so then I was like oh like let's do a LAN party it last like 30 minutes than everyone go Let's do something else It's like not fun anymore like one-on-four and I don't really like all right everybody just got to that scenario. Yeah, all right go

38:14 I teach okay trash along I'll go I'll do a little bit of like a deeper dive into the past The game that I played probably the most ever was Dota 2 Also, I didn't realize what it was too hard for me Too hard. Yeah, that makes sense league player. Yeah, yeah, wait haunt when you say deep pass Are you talking about a warcraft three Dota or like?

38:35 Okay, when did you start on Dota just that's why I started Yeah, you know what I used to do yeah, I would like since like I would try to play and I would keep overriding the career or something Oh, yeah, yeah, now everyone has an on-career trash Yeah, so you wouldn't even be the To stop taking the career Sorry, yeah, yeah begin to know you're still waiting to read the patch notes I need that version because I was awful. Yeah, yeah That was probably the game that I played like the most of I played that through college and like They were they always had good price. Well, did you watch like the competition?

39:05 Oh, yeah, that was fun. That was like I would I would watch the the competitions, but I couldn't play it. Yeah That was actually what was funny was I just first saw a video from prime Which is what eventually got me into streaming and stuff on twitch doing programming things But I was only aware of twitch as a means to watch professional Dota 2. Oh really?

39:23 I was like The site where they have the international Like guys are here doing programming That sounds insane I'll check it out. Wait, hey, they have programming on the hot tub stream Question I know nothing about Dota other than I played for Warcraft 3. So that's like my knowledge is so dated Um, which I even know what Dota stands for not a lot of people in the ancient Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's a good time to even know that's Warcraft 3 baby, uh, but Do people also hate their lives like they do with league because league and Dota are very similar in I think it's a so I had fun playing Dota Okay, but I Think it's probably I don't know if you think this trash. I think league players hate their lives more often than 100%

40:12 Yeah, okay makes league hateable. What makes league hateable? I think it's the community. It's the community Yeah, like I said players in the comments. You can just probably agree. Yeah, it's my team. You're the problem Yeah, yeah, well, it's because everyone thinks that I mean everyone thinks they're good everyone thinks they're good Yeah, I don't really know why it is it's Twitter. I think the other thing for it too for leagues human is There's like stuff you can do to unlock characters and like get new New or here what do they call it? They call them characters are heroes in league. What do they call the the people you know?

40:45 I raised that game from a madness legends. I think they're legends. Are they? I don't know because it is league League of love in fact legends. Okay. I don't know. Well, the the people that you can play as You like unlock them and so I think that makes people feel like sunk cost fallacy for it maybe So they get stuck hating that they spent all this time or money to unlock characters Whereas for Dota it's always like all the characters are always free. Gotcha. So then maybe there's something you just like buy skins Or something is that how the skins is the only thing I bought so many skin quick question Did you watch League of Legends the cartoon watch the first season? Yeah Oh, you're talking about like the Netflix one. Yeah, what's it called again? Oh my god

41:25 They're bro arcane you're talking about arcane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, arcane say that was close to title League of legends. Oh, is it? League of legends. I never watched it because I hate that game. So okay, don't And don't really good though. I heard it was good when was the last time you played Dota though So like how long ago was this addiction? How long have been clean?

41:45 I'm trying to think I don't think I played since I had kids probably so at least five years That's probably for the best. Yeah, it was was like I really like I had fun. You choose one. I played I played The game and I had fun Okay, thanks trash Don't mind me till we're not Like it didn't matter whether I want to loss like I had fun playing the game And I enjoyed even like trying to grind Rankins ranked itself. So it was like I would have just played all the time if I had the option. So it was like, okay, that probably I have to just be like done with that So then I Stop playing for like a decent amount of time I think around when I was done with college and then I just played like some fun games with my friends occasionally

42:27 After that was a good time and I just was like I won't play ranked because then I'll want to play like a lot Yeah And Dota has a mode I don't know if League has one similar called turbo where it's like basically the game You get like more money and more experience more quickly So you can play the game and closer like 15 to two X Yeah, like the game speed itself is still the same Like you know, you want to cast a stun. It's not like it flies twice as fast or something like that But then that was what I would always play with my friends because we would play like a game in 15 to 30 minutes I was like, oh, that's chill like it's a lot more fun than like occasionally getting stuff for like an hour

43:00 Yeah, so yeah, hour Yeah, for one game. Yeah, Halo is that's the worst That's the part where it's on even like Also like makes it so fun. I feel like is because it's like when it's competitive. Yeah And you know when you lose after all that time you're like what am I doing people hate their life is because you have to spend an hour to lose 25 elo You see the red minus 25 That does not it's also worse when you know you're gonna lose in the first five minutes But you have to wait like 20 minutes to surrender and you're just like I don't know No, it starts griefing and feeding actually. I think the other thing league still has surrender right I don't think you can surrender to like 20 minutes. Yeah, but okay, but you can concede

43:41 I'm saying in Dota you can't concede. I think that's another thing that makes Dota less toxic is because soon as nothing goes wrong and league Concede bros. Yeah, bros. Can see. Yeah, and then you have Yeah, it was just a cring so you just stay in the game and if you leave I mean like you can't Do that and if someone like just like griefs or does other stuff they'll get like bad stuff happened to their account or like you try and throw the game intentionally People can report you and stuff. So then a lot of times like I had plenty games playing Dota where Minutes one through 20 you were like we lost. Yeah, no matter what and then you know you're you're just playing with other bad people So they do something stupid they like trying

44:19 Dive into your base and kill you and stuff. They give you you end up getting like 5,000 gold your team and then you start carrying your team You're team picked no support characters only only I'm the tech guy me. I'm a tech guy I know we had four tech guys I pick attack yeah, but If they go and die and then give you a bunch of money and now it's minute 25 You're like oh now we have five insane late game characters will win So like that happened plenty of times like playing Dota, which I think that might be that was one of the other things That I always thought made a big difference in like the psychology of the game because you have a button you can press To say let's be done as opposed to the only way we lose is when they beat like they destroy the game. Yeah

45:00 Hmm, I'm trying to think the last game I played a lot of hours was breath of the wild Oh nice. I'm just about to beat tears of the kingdom. Oh, you're really I stopped I was loving it and then I stopped but I beat breath of wild love I was in a completely different seven times. Oh wow when I played breath of the wild I think that was actually pre-kids because it was so long ago and I was like I'm gonna do the same thing And I was like already on kid too. Yeah, play for like five minutes. I was like I'm going to leave I was like oh like I can't even so it's just sitting on my switch. I just don't have entered tears The kingdom is kind of sad in the sense that you get you you go through and you're beating everything you get through like the four

45:32 It's the same it's like the same game again. Yeah, you get to your four things the story is really monotonous And then you go and fight Ganon and then you fight like his like little buddies Ganador's buddies And then the story's just like oh well you got to figure out where the fifth guy is And then there's just no information. You're just like I don't know So I'm just like wandering around the gloom right now down in the like there's no information apparently There's like 15 story parts yet to go figure out by talking to random too much. It's a good game to wander Yeah, I know but I'm too old for that shit. Yeah, the one thing I didn't like about the game was you can like fly on this little metal thing

46:04 You can like attach. Yeah, that's fun. I couldn't figure out how to fly So I would just fall off like I'd put on the edge and I would go You have to get enough speed get the balance Yeah, you have to like slide down something right but I would be on I would be like on a island with no ramps You know, you know, you know, you can get a little like Handle that you put on it. There's a handle. You get handles you put it on it And really I didn't know that we let what about one thing maybe fans yeah head the fans I would put it I'll really be on the edge have the fans on what about the two engines Yeah That's what made me stop playing to be honest literally that mechanic Well, it is a totally like typical Zelda games. Oh great story we're finding is this one. It's like cool engineering mostly

46:43 Just sit here and just you can make it just a totally different World in game. Let me play I will say the game that I've been playing the most recently is slay. That's like if I'm gonna I'll play like part of the other thing I like for slay is like if I have 10 minutes I can play one and then I just pause and pick it up the next day Is that mean you guys like hardstone then because hardstone's like a word crap never played hardstone But I think I would have probably liked it. Yeah, cuz you guys like that universe apparently I never played anymore. I never played that We've never been a fan of deck builder games in general. We were all Bellatra boys right before I love Still I am Bellatra boy. Yeah, you've never do any Bellatra at all trash

47:19 I never did any deck building games in Oh my god, just do I don't get it. I don't get it. That's cuz you've never had a good deck every time I watch you all play I don't get no no once you build one good deck and it starts popping off you'll go I get it and then you'll be chasing that feeling until you have a totally new deck And then you have two feelings you're chasing then you're able to third deck now you're chasing three feelings It is you've never it's fun. It could be really really fun. Really satisfying to get like an all-night Natural eat all natural. They'll see it. It's so frustrating. Oh my god. My Bellatra ran out. He's a Pokemon collector Who is like? I don't like hard games. It's like what are you talking?

47:51 I know you're the one ruining guy Bobby okay, he just wants to see just wants to scalp us all right, so Games that we're excited for for me the two big ones that I'm really excited for is actually trying to build something That's engineering into either Minecraft or terraria. I think that's just gonna be fun I actually think there's something really a really fun idea of like can you actually make a web server?

48:14 Mm-hmm and like Cloudflare tunnel it out and actually like okay, this thing's serving real traffic Yeah, this is a fully real game the other one that I want to try But I don't think we can get enough people or there exists such a thing But it's similar to the idea I had a while ago. It would be fun to try and do one iteration of like chat GPT by hand Like do the matrix multiplication. It would be hilarious to get like 50,000 people on a Minecraft server and then you do you try and like have them flip the levers of a neuron And they're like doing LL Yeah, okay, we can do it. Well, you know like the Minsk a handwriting We can do like a simple MLP Yeah, yeah, that's just like hey, this is just like a four layer MLP or we can do an rbf

48:55 Which is a single layer. Yeah, you can actually like really And they have to hand calculate out the radio basis function. Yeah, I do what you guys just said right now But I'm in on my head just sounds cool sounds cool The best part about video games is implementing LLMs inside of them But the hard part about that is that the neurons fire with a floating floating values Whereas you have just like we could You can make we can yeah, there's a way of making floats Yeah, I guess you could just have like five switches and it really represents like two to the is Negative one two to the negative two two to the Yeah, but then but it's all a point right. It's all less than one Yeah Yeah, yeah, there's two the negative one two two to the negative eight. Yeah, okay, that's beautiful

49:41 You also have to be excited about it's little like the biggest moment in a long time No, that's I actually would rather do that. I think that would be a very great thing to start with Handwritten handwritten recognition Okay We fund to do some investigation as long as we can build that before slay this fire two comes out We're good to go. That's what we need to do. We just have to start it now Before slay two comes out because honestly, I think all of us gonna transition no more programming content anymore Yeah, it's fire too. It's fire too. That's great. What does that is that actually coming out?

50:10 I think it's coming out this year. I don't remember why I'm actually very worried that it's springtime Which is a very very soon. I'm very worried it's springtime. I love being worried that the game's coming out And then the worst part is then GTA 6 and then I mean, we're gonna have to roleplay very hard Wait, GTA 6 I thought they delayed till 2027 at least. I think you're right. They did delay it again Okay, there's a non-zero chance that GTA 6 will be delayed enough years that we will have an AI powerful enough just to make GTA 6 Exactly. That's gonna happen. I think honestly, that's what they're doing They probably don't actually have anyone working for the company technology didn't they right?

50:47 Someone deleted the backups and the get repo and everything and they're like Okay, well, here's our chance. We can either tell everyone we lost the game or this running in a Ralph we wait for Opus 37.5 and code x19 and we say make me GTA 6 no mistakes No mistakes. Did you guys actually play the GTAs?

51:09 I played like the early gosh. I didn't play any vegan. They're saying that early access could very well be in March 2026 I was worried that there was a spring watch. See it's not even spring. That's the worst part. It's that soon, bro That's like that's like we've got a lot of videos. We have a pro. We got to give you up for six months, bro Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be an issue. Yeah Okay, well, that's the one I'm excited for so I decided to I thought blotters supposed to get some updates this year too Uh, there was a there's just a ma again. Yeah another patch update. It was gonna be I believe in the winter and he says Hey, it's gonna take a bit longer. No, but yeah, that would be fun I would be excited to see some new blotters. Yeah, I knew that will be awesome.

Yeah There are a couple looks there are a couple other goofy games I've seen just like being on like my Twitter. I see them. I put up my list like oh dude J blows game. I want to play J That's coming out of the sinking star. Yes, I think we should all play it. Yeah, cool game No, we're it's a it's a puzzle game. So we're gonna find out who's actually the smartest one. We're gonna be doing speedrunning against each other Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Yes, so the other one I saw I saw it on a Twitter and I'm gonna find it, but it was a mind sweeper rogue like And I love you know, but I'm really good at mind. All right, I could never beat that game. Well, don't you want you?

52:27 I could never beat that game. Well, once you learn the rules, it's like you know padded recognition You get faster in fact and soon you don't even it tells you I didn't I didn't have the patience to like figure out. I'm just like what I don't know It's a guessing game. I'm sorry. I was really guessing We're slow over here. I was guessing like I would click until like you hit one. We're like reveals like most of it And then it gets kind of hard after that. Oh my god. That's once it reveals. That's where it gets easy That gives you the information on what to press. It will tell you what they have the patience This is mind sweeper rogue like I could beat the small thing you'll link later Anything exciting coming out this year for you or you will let you substitute out from a game into a Pokemon event

53:08 Any Pokemon pass any Pokemon releases. Do they Pokemon releases their full schedule for the year? No, I know so Pokemon's coming out. There's like two stats coming out like in the next month the three months Okay, so I gotta get on that of course, of course But in terms of games, I'm like one of those you know, are you like one of those people that just listen to the same music from like when you're in high school One thousand percent. Yeah, that's how I am a game. That's how I am with games. So I'm like I'll just Play starcraft again I'm excited to see us of them. That will be fun. Starcraft is like the classics when I Work me in a conquer you know, I played a lot of red alert dude me too. Yeah

53:45 The one I play the most in nostalgia vampires. Yes, so I'm afraid I'm a dude. Yeah, I was a A.O.E. I played A.O.E. I never put A.O.E. but I like three. Okay, and I tell you my favorite age of empire story Yeah, of course, so me and my roommate we'd all do big age of empire battles And it came down to just three of us left. Yeah, it was two on two and one One group he was new so he barely had an army and the other group that was not doing so well So we're just like all right. Hey, we're gonna we're gonna destroy the first guy and we're very excited about this So he come and we just completely wipe out the first guy Yeah, and then as we're doing that the other one was just like oh man Can I like become your ally can I do all this and we're like sure so he becomes our ally

54:23 But we're like not his ally. Yeah, so he can't attack us and we start killing him He just can't attack me and and then all of his units run up to us and then peacefully protest as we It was I love backstabbing people so funny my favorite A.O.E. too thing was Began to love this because he loves that. I was you built a good student in in school and had different experiences than he did High school We got those nerds. Yeah, so my my AP my my AP calculus class He mentions AP calculus like 10 times a day. Yeah, that's so true vegan um, I took when I was a Junior but most of the class was senior so there's like three of us. We get a year smart The three of us Important to the story and I ended up teaching the class. No, not in that one. I had a good

55:18 I had a good AP Calc teacher so Seniors get out early. I don't know if they did this at your thing where it's just like they're done with school before everyone else I don't take AP Calcs. I don't know. No, I'm saying they were literally literally just graduated and we're done with school like a few weeks before everyone else Yeah, we didn't know. I don't really know why it seems we gotta go to school the whole year. Oh, I guess you guys were dumber Yeah, so anyways, so it's just our teacher and us three So I figured out how to get A.O.E. too on a usb just a regular usb stick with no like you didn't have to install or do anything Like just the executable on there. So we would just get the like

55:55 Computers from a computer act and go bring them into class and we just play A.O.E. too for the rest of the year with our with our teacher And we put it oh three of us and the teacher. I'm saying and he would just like yeah, let's put it up on the projector And for you to basically well in that class. I'm saying because there was no he was yelling junior right? Yeah, there was that There was way into other juniors there was no one else just for that class I'm saying what are you supposed to do we already took that we already took the AP exam we did everything else We just got to play age of emperors too. Well, what people were you? I like playing the brits because I like spamming longbows I do as about say you're gonna be a long boy. Oh, yeah

56:28 Hey, you know what? Yeah, buddy. I don't understand. I don't understand That's where the little finger comes from they draw it with these two and they that's why you when you watch British people count it like this one too because this is f you. Oh interesting. The French would Cut off the fingers from the longbow man. Oh, that's where I'm gonna see me comes from That's a new lore. That's a new lore. Well, I just liked longbow guys. I could shoot from far away Okay, I hate it. I will say conscription with with longbows and the upgraded pretty good. That's what I like So there you go. That's my AOA two story But I always found them. I always found the monogamous unit type of just doing gigantic

57:09 Well, you couldn't just spam. I mean people just build some horses and then you die I know, but I that's what I wanted was two hundred 200 only longbows walking towards people and every time something showed up on the stream. They just I like what you got so many that you couldn't select like you couldn't actually Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, you had to get them in multiple like control groups, but yeah I love Because of that story, but how it's I this whatever we get it we get it high schools like he walked through in a class Teacher asked a question answer right away says whoa, whoa, whoa. Why don't you just teach it? He came up there and then did happen And that did happen in one class. Yeah, yeah, you're a sexualist. That's actually a pretty good knowledge

57:54 Fortunately for me. That's a pretty good analogy. A really a marginally. Did you watch lore of the rings? Yeah, so the two there um, how could you like shocks by the question? Well, I'm saying battle the helms deep like when the elves come at the end. Okay. Yeah, and then just shooting on the arrows Yeah, like I'm like all about arrow warfare.

Why'd make us think it's just thankful for what you got Okay, dude, I watched the battle of helms deep like 300 times like my favorite My favorite scene is when the ladder comes down and they all start spreading away That's like that was a very cool.
