Thor missed it, but we have Nandos in the States too. I have one in my town

[young fern]

yeah, I pressed f1 by mistake, I went back to the world but now the node editor is broken?

the UI doesn't react to mouse clicks anymore, maybe if I restart.

[hoary dust]

yeah it is riddled with bugs and they did say that as a warning during start up of the game if i recall correctly

[young fern]

eeeeeeh, the rotation speeds aren't synchronized by default?

tried to make a car and failed

this is a very simple crawler and the motors do something based with torque and desynchronize

[sterile sinew]

when car fails, make spider tank instead

[young fern]

I will take a look at how that's done.

I think it's honestly going to fail at the thing that all visual editors I have seen so far have failed:

Either they are not powerful enough, or what they do is literally harder than just coding.

oh no, they have "GOTO" nodes.

To the guy that said they got a may 30th upgrade, and got laid off on the 31st. Definitely sorry to hear about that, apply, apply, apply and as Thor says just get a job. As long as you can survive

Sometimes the life server just sucks.

[vague elk]

Fairy cake is bug protein?

Zero optimization.

Internet says glue goes on pizza. Story checks out.

[fickle wagon]

What list is he talking about?

[fiery bloom]

The Google ai assistant, that is giving really bad info

[dusk quail]

its very good information, it just might not be accurate...but very good! some say the best.

[dusk quail]

the AI was just confused by advertising. Glue is used on pizza for photo ads...looks more melty cheese than real melty cheese!

[vague elk]

Feels like more esoteric information than something that could just as well be scraped from Reddit.

[dusk quail]

Guess they forgot to add a relevance weight. Glue used on pizza? Yes...is it used on pizza we eat? no...hopefully no.

[vague elk]

As i understand the ecosystem there are really no customizable weights. You just construct the machine that gorges itself on content then pour the internet into it.

[dusk quail]

Thats a problem then. Won't get accurate results without that. Just get garbage thrown at the wall

[vague elk]

All the rules and stuff you hear about it is just feeding initial parameters as human text to the machine before turning the crank.

[dusk quail]

What a terrible model.

[vague elk]

It's a really impressive piece of statistics that pop out of training. It's true. Definitely would not call it ready for prime time.

The thing is though. The researchers don't care about the models that end up in people's hands, rather they see the mistakes and try out more layers more convolutions and transformations and cross referencing of the inputs to make the next one.

It's going so fast that the AI Safety guys are sweating a bit.

[dusk quail]

I'm not worried about AI, it will eliminate every single job that doesn't require manual labor. Eventually even the manual labor jobs will be taken by robots with AI. This to me is good...we should enjoy life more and work less as a species. Focus more on growing other life around us and less on resource dominance. But like you said...for now...no where near ready for prime time. The models are still all shit, at least the one's I've had access to. I know it's just vomiting data at it...but some weighted models would probably give a better outcome, in regards to accuracy.

[vague elk]

I don't actually believe that you can instruct a machine to build your idea with any less effort that it takes currently, because you still have to effectively communicate that idea to the machine mind. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details.

[dusk quail]

Oh, well i didn't mean to imply it would be less effort. Just better.

[vague elk]

Depends which part of the creative process you enjoy. Problem solving right?

[dusk quail]

I do enjoy fixing things and design.

[drowsy vector]

,> 'dont plug all things in power strip'
oh no.. um, im in danger

[cunning axle]

Yeah I think a good chunk of chat just made chunks in their pants (including me)

My strip is rated at 3550 joules but I have no idea how that interacts with volts etc.

[drowsy vector]

xbox, pc, laptop, tv and monitor all on 1 strip... im doooooooomed

[vague elk]

more stuff equals more heat, eventually you'll overwhelm the wire in the strip, or the wire in your wall.

[drowsy vector]

ill just consider it a 24/7 stress test?

[vague elk]

I've tried pulling 16Amps from a wall socket in an old house, you could hear the crackling of wire inside the wall.

Unplugged that right quick.

[fiery bloom]

Power strip in the US have a rating, but not usually high enough for what people plug into.

Along with each place has a horrible mixture of power wiring. One the the same block you can have 16 different power schemes in housing, all due to the last time they were built/sold.

Then in the giant corpo track housing the demonstration homes are top tier, while the later ones can be just barely meeting standard electrical code.

[cunning axle]

So, in plain terms, how do you figure out if you have too much on one strip?

[fiery bloom]

Amperage.

[vague elk]

Wire HOT

[drowsy vector]

taste test? /s

[vague elk]

If you are less inclined to do testing; look at the labels and figure out what your house is capable of handling.

[fiery bloom]

You can go with 15 amps per plug on the wall. Extension power strip, you go for 15 amps total.

Fuse box should have the amperage listed on it. If not you can get a tester which tells you.

[foggy plover]

Most people aren't plugging in high amp-draw devices into a power strip. Also, there aren't too many devices in US households that draw big amps on startup. Vacuums and space heaters, toasters, etc. There aren't many other things.

[fiery bloom]

I go with at most 3 items on a strip.

Vacuums, microwaves, blenders are high instant on Amperage drawers. Pull high amps when starting.

They lower after being on.

[foggy plover]

Yea, I know. And I'd argue that most people aren't plugging those things into power strips. And certainly not multiple on the same one?

[fiery bloom]

Blow dryers, toasters, and heating blankets draw a constant high amp when in use.

Not saying you don't. There are some that still know nothing about power.

Just basic info dump.

Like you pc, and monitor should be on one strip. Anything else pc wise/system should be on another one with a separate strip.

[foggy plover]

Sure. Most people know nothing about home electricity. I know next to nothing. And there will always be people who will overload a circuit for various reasons. But the devices and systems in place are there to prevent the vast majority of potential incidents.

[minor turtle]

No because in America we replaced education with fear of plugging things in which doesn’t alway work out well

[drowsy vector]

the info helped me, thanks

[minor turtle]

The real problem isn’t power strips it’s extension cords https://youtu.be/K_q-xnYRugQ?si=pTRjO4oCkfjH3wCX

[fiery bloom]

I'm old enough to remember family plugging at least 20 of those old light bulbs for Christmas into one plug.

[foggy plover]

I would perhaps disagree. I don't think people need to really know anything about electricity in the modern world at least to use it. At least, the electricity you use in your house. I would point to the example of a car. You don't have to know how the combustion engine, or the transmission actually work to operate a car.

[fiery bloom]

The heat and current draw was insane. You would get a he a t burn from standing next to the lights.

[foggy plover]

Exactly this Garden Witch

[fiery bloom]

Was amazed that more.houses didn't burn down.

Trees would dry out in days.

[minor turtle]

I meant more of the these are the “rules” for how not to set your house on Fire education not like how electricity works instead we just instill fear of ever plugging things in

[fiery bloom]

And walls would have an outline of the lights.

[rugged jasper]

CHEESE

[graceful bane]

Has the weird-aaah blockgame bug been fixed yet? I'm really curious what went wrong, was it on stream?

[vague elk]

He's just a few wedges short of a whole wheel.

[lament sun]

yea, player xp was stored as a 32 int value

thor making that modification, made so that exp went over the value, effectively creating an overflow error

its been fixed now

and some dudes got banned for it

[graceful bane]

Ohhh, so it was somewhat like gandhi throwing nukessuddenly in civ?

[lament sun]

wow put it like that it seems a little unfair but oh well

[lament sun]

lol no

[vague elk]

Abusers got a three day ban.

[lament sun]

i see where you come from

but that myth has been debunked really

[small meteor]

The @Thor is beligerent... agressive... adversarial...

[storm lintel]

We'll have to bury him in TTS on the 5th before he takes his first break

I'll use the money I was saving for the demo

[fiery bloom]

I will have to break another money market fund to bury him in TTS!

5 dollars per TTS, right?

So that would be just over 390 of them. Buwhahahahahahaaaaaa...

[storm lintel]

Depends on which platform you're using and what region you're in. I think YT has a lower minimum, but don't quote me on that. Most expensive is definitely on Mobile, there's added fees

[spice dome]

you'd be surprised how much power computer PSUs draw when you plug them in

mine technically pulls a mild 23kW, for the few milliseconds

[fiery bloom]

Starting anything is where you draw the most power before it goes to a nominal power draw.

That's where most people get in trouble. Turn it all on at once.

[vague palm]

The notion of "don't plug this very expensive thing into a device that is literally designed to prevent electrical accidents" befuddles me, tbh.

Like, I've had a monitor explode on me before, when it was plugged directly into the outlet, when something went wrong at the power station and they sent way more power (current? whatever) than needed to people's homes.
This... wouldn't happen with a power strip because it's own safety mecahnism would trip and stop the plugged in devices from being damaged.

Yeah the strip might fail if you put too much load on it but like. Okay. That's its job lol

[fiery bloom]

Yup, the strip is supposed to fail before your stuff gets nuked.

[woeful geyser]

it depends on the specs of the power strip, in the EU those are mostly standardised

[fiery bloom]

Doesn't always happen, but does most of the time.

And most people don't replace them after a problem with them. They keep using them, which is not a good idea.

[vague palm]

How do you not replace them though, the fuse is burned it's supposed to stop working

Some of y'all got weird power strips

[unique lance]

yeah for most of them they have protection...unless you're buying the cheapest garbage on amazon you can find

protip don't do that

[vague palm]

Yeah there's super cheap ones, you can kinda tell if you have one of these by the fact that they FREAKING MELT

Oh and there's ones that don't have a switch on them, those simply "expand" your outlet and don't provide extra safety. Don't really know if those are still called power strips though.

[storm lintel]

A lot of cheaper ones will still use a bulkier frame to make it look like they have surge protectors. Gotta be sure to double check the specs

If it doesn't have specs, keep moving

[tough sedge]

Starforge are ok PCs, I think Thor should look into PugetSystems if he ever wants to expand, they are located 30m South of Seattle and are one of the Top providers for Workstation PC's in the Videogame and VFX industry.

[serene valley]

Electrical fuse

Rather than a fuse that destroys itself

Or is that called a digital fuse

Idk

[unique lance]

i've had someone in the family buy a surge protector, have it fail, open it up, and it's just linking the outlets together with tiny bits of wire

[vague palm]

Oeuf

[unique lance]

when it comes to electricity, don't cheap out, splash some cash or burn it all down

[spice dome]

yeah.. same goes for PSUs. Don't buy that 50 $/€/£ PSU and pair it with a 2k computer

[unique lance]

tbf if it comes from a reputable brand it's fine to cheap out a bit. you'll end up with a lot more hanging wires that way though

[spice dome]

I spent two evenings reading reviews when I bought my last PSU

[unique lance]

but yeah if you're spending that much, at that point cheaping out on the power makes no sense

[spice dome]

unfortunately there were kind of psu shortages going around here a little before 3000 series nvidias were released

[unique lance]

cheap out on the mb, yes. ram, also maybe sure.

definitely cheap out on the case. it's a case. it don't have to be the mona lisa lol

[tough sedge]

PC to the Wall everything else to the strip

[unique lance]

depends on how well your house is wired.

mine, nope, nuh uh, not a chance, nein

[woeful geyser]

why was my first thought that meme of the electrician going "huh" when inspecting a house

[unique lance]

my house is both old and belonged to my grandfather, who liked to fix things himself. there's an entire section of the house rn without power because he "fixed" something years ago and it just now decided to fail. nothing tripped or anything it's just the outlets decide to be haunted when things are plugged into it. not trusting my 2000 dollar machine to these haunted ass wires lol

[vague palm]

Yeah wow lol

[unique lance]

dude I got the mircowave to turn off and on by flicking the on/off switch on a lamp

[vague palm]

Over here everything's wired up to a GFCI but... I still prefer to be extra safe for expensive equipment... I'm not throwing away $1000+ because of someone pressing the wrong button somewhere

[unique lance]

i had no idea that was even a thing that could happen

[woeful geyser]

..did he wire the entire electrical for that room through the light switch as entry point

[unique lance]

no, it was an actual lamp, not an overhead light

turning that off and on made it look like I was overloading the circut but I wasn't, it just made the microwave connect/disconnect from power for some reason

[sterile sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/day-off-night-eclipse-day-night-on-gif-11892954

[unique lance]

we're getting someone to unmagic that whole area soon but rn this house has haunted wires

[vague palm]

My own wires are haunted by internet, though, heh. Powerline magic...

[unique lance]

I'd like to use powerline so i don't have to run ethernet under the house but voodoo prevents me

[vague palm]

I use it because the walls are so thick the wi-fi signal literally drops dead before it can reach my room

[unique lance]

that's not a problem for me. my main issue is I refuse to do multiplayer anything over wi-fi cause it'll suck for everyone else

[vague palm]

Yeah, depends on the game but if you do multiplayer a lot that certainly is going to be a problem. That said, you probably have other team members on wi-fi anyway. Barely anyone runs wires these days...

[unique lance]

yeah that's not great lol

[gloomy radish]

@minor nymph have you seen this yt shorts https://youtube.com/shorts/D2EseYdLFgk? I'm asking if they're just reuploading your shorts

[unique lance]

clearly

[gloomy radish]

I check it's YouTube shorts content it's not there first time, it has bunch of content of other content creator also

[forest glacier]

Not the first time that page specifically has uploaded a short, its up to Thor if it crosses a line or not.

[vague palm]

Well, interestingly this isn't a reupload, this is their own "short" of a clip of Thor.

I'd say that makes it more acceptable, but eh, I'm not the judge here.

These subtitles they added are really awful though, lol, these harm the experience rather than help it

[stone nacelle]

Lightly transformative. Just needs a rando pointing with unblinking eyes

[unique lance]

stuff like that is gross because you never know what thor wants to be a short, and if it's already out there...as we see every day people aren't the smartest. also reposting his stream content as shorts could end up being bad for his actual channel. all sorts of things.

[vague palm]

you never know what thor wants to be a short
He has explained this multiple times, but basically Shadelock, his editor, is simply picking the most popular clips of any given day and makes those into shorts. There's no Clever Decisions being made and he's not even the one making them.

Won't argue with any other part of that though

[unique lance]

[vague palm]

(and tbh that wasn't even an argument in the first place because, yes, Thor might want to veto certain topics from being made into shorts)

[unique lance]

we can game this

[forest glacier]

Pretty sure Thor's basis for decision on these things is down to INTENT. If it's in any way modifying the message he wants to present or is simply a no-edit reupload than those cases he typically goes after. A credited, modified clip that spreads a mesasge he agrees with is probably fine.

[spiral forge]

@minor nymph I do hope you give SoD2 a try, because I think you’ll love it, and because https://open.spotify.com/track/0MwEX52Djb9lXqF6dBLQPU?si=kYpBijl7SlCaNMA7imrv6Q&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Asta

Jesper Kyd crafted an incredible soundtrack along with Dreissk

[unique lance]

One thing that always bugged me about that game

why

dear god why

am i tethered to the host

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn-nine-nine-terry-jeffords-why-b99-brooklyn99-gif-21715381

[spiral forge]

Because the came is hosted locally by the hosts machine which eliminated the constant server maintenance and will mean the game will live on even if the studio folds

And to cut back on lag, the game only loads/renders what is within the circle

[unique lance]

it just makes me never want to touch the multiplayer cause I can't go explore 🤷🏻‍♂️

the last part is a decent reason that's...not really a thing anymore and they can cut it out, but the first part is nonsense. locally hosted free-roam multiplayer games exist that don't do that and work fine lol

[spiral forge]

Yes but with state of decay they made every single container in the entire map able to be looted. So that’s a lot of assets load at all times if you’re not searching every container on the entire map at once. Plus you forget it’s technically an Indy game masquerading as a AAA title

And it came out in 2018..

Plus all the zombies on the map too it’s too much

[stone nacelle]

ah that was on sale recently?

no that was days gone

[spiral forge]

It was like 85% off on steam

And it’s on both gamepass versions

For 30 some odd people on the original team I think state of decay 2 is great

[fiery bloom]

If anyone wants a lesson on power, or electrical systems hit me up in the tech channel. Or dm. One day I'll see about asking about teaching it again.

[sterile sinew]

State of decay 2 was a blast with my buddy. we just stuck reasonably close. it's a big map and we went out as a team.

[lost pasture]

Hey guys I would love to get some of your opinions please

I’m a vtuber and recently I’ve been thinking about going to a webcam instead of vtubing because I don’t seem to be going anywhere with the animated avatar

I originally did it because of self confidence about my jaw and weight but I had jaw surgery and lost weight as a consequence and have been keeping it off

And I’m wondering do you guys think I would have more success with a webcam because I can be more expressive and people can connect to a real person better?

[fresh ginkgo]

My question is how long have you been going at it?

In any kind of content creation, but streaming especially, it can take YEARS to even begin growing an audience, even if you're doing everything right

[lost pasture]

4 years

I also make videos and shorts

[azure glen]

How have the viewer numbers been, increasing/decreasing or steady?

And what numbers are we looking at

[lost pasture]

Around 2-5 for the past few years but always the same people very rarely it’s new people mainly me my mod my wife and one regular who doesn’t care either way

[vague elk]

Vtuber shenanigans among each other is usually the fun aspect of them. You can do things that you just don't on camera.

[forest glacier]

Seems like a personal question you should be asking yourself man, I dont think it makes a difference what you look like. Mostly down to how you interact with people and how you present your personality. grabbing and holding interest and stuff. Also, Thor streamed for 7 years before becoming known.

[lost pasture]

I have 1k on YouTube 1.3 on twitch and 6k on tiktok

[forest glacier]

Took Thor 6 years to get to 1K as far as I can tell

[lost pasture]

I feel like people can connect to a face rather than an avatar maybe?

But I have also flirted with the idea of doing both but the consultancy and logistics feel like an issue

[fresh ginkgo]

That's not actually the factor, surprisingly

[forest glacier]

I dont think its that much of a difference these days, having your face can also be a source of drama for you

[fresh ginkgo]

Whether webcam, or avatar, what people really pick up on is the energy and passion

[lost pasture]

I’m a fairly chill guy I don’t have super energetic streams I like to be hat to people have cool conversations

[fresh ginkgo]

Chill can work, though it does take longer to grow

[lost pasture]

And play good games and talk about little lore pieces and just basically have good vibes

[azure glen]

The follower numbers seem ok.. viewers is a bit low... As long as you are passionate about what you are doing and try to keep doing what you like, people might eventually pick up on it. Whether you have a pixel avatar or a 'real' face.

[fresh ginkgo]

I've seen plenty of chill vibes type stuff work out, since they end up offering just a welcoming, relaxed space.

[azure glen]

Do you raid other streamers on twitch when you're done with the stream?

[lost pasture]

I can’t maintain high energy for long periods of time

[lost pasture]

Yea every stream even if it’s just one dude

[fresh ginkgo]

That's fine. Like I said, chill works it just doesn't build audiences as fast

[lost pasture]

This is true

[azure glen]

Have you looked at your timeslot? Maybe that one doesn't fully work with the content you are providing

[lost pasture]

Sometimes I feel like I should use my job as a means to have a niche

[lost pasture]

Maybe but I’m limited to when I can stream due to work and my wife as she is chronically sick so I also care for her

[lost pasture]

I’m a mixed reality developer

[azure glen]

How many hours are you streaming in a row?

[lost pasture]

I make vr and mr games

[lost pasture]

3-4

It only goes to 4 if I’m mid game other than that I maintains around 3

[azure glen]

That seems ok. It is hard to say what is causing the low numbers. Can you link your channel in #advertising ? We could take a look at one of the vods and see how your stream goes.

[lost pasture]

Sure would you want twitch, YouTube or tiktok as I stream on twitch and YouTube but make videos for YouTube and tiktok

[azure glen]

I'm more used to twitch myself

But you can link both twitch and yt

[lost pasture]

I tagged you in it

Also I used to be a webcam streamer and that’s where most of my followers came from on twitch

And TikTok

[autumn blade]

I've printed something for someone's birthday, hmmm, sending it soon hopefully.

[lost pasture]

That looks so cool

[azure glen]

@lost pasture From a firsttime viewer pov your chat interaction seems ok. General vibe seems ok as well, though I have the feeling that this is just one of the many gamer streams you can look at during your timeslot. You seem to have the bad luck that you haven't popped off yet.
Some points of note: you don't seem to have a schedule set on twitch and there seem to be week long gaps in your streaming? Repeat viewers love to know when they can watch their streamer, it's like and old fashioned tv show, people want to know when they can tune in and they need consistency.
So if you really want to boost your channel, I'd say consistency is your first main factor to work on.

[elder shoal]

^^This

Shedueles are very important, not just to have it dispayed and written on Twitch but also just for the fact that people are creatures of habbit. People will "browse" channels at around the same time in their scheduele daily/weekly. So if they found a channel once it is VERY likely they will (even unconciously) return to the same one again if it's on the same timeslot as the previous time the person was looking for something to watch..

[lost pasture]

I have a schedule for Monday Wednesday Friday and Saturday at 7pm bst every week

I have been away with university the past week and made announcements on discord and twitter

[serene valley]

tts is 500 cheer bits right, gotta make sure I do it correctly :D

ah there we go

heh, thanks for the sub djinnet

[unreal coral]

So, it's bots killing bots

[fossil sapphire]

yes. skynut

[serene valley]

it's a bot kill bot world out there

[unreal coral]

can it accidentally ban itself?

[serene valley]

it doesn't send messages

so I doubt it

but I bet if you had it ran !ban username it could technically

but that would be a really weird edge case

(idk whether twitch bots even are in the same pool as regular users)

[unreal coral]

I doubt it actually could ban itself, but it would be humorous considering like he said it was 200ms before the bot was banned

[vague elk]

[fringe crane]

hey chat if i payed for 500 bits and gave it to thor to tts but twitch deleted the message can i put in a mod ticket?

[lament sun]

you can create a ticket asking if it got deleted

[serene valley]

it probably got deleted because of a link? twitch chat auto deletes messages with links

or rather, this stream chat does

[foggy plover]

Except that I hear links spoken out of TTS literally all the time.....

[serene valley]

yeah it gets deleted but still is submitted

I might not be wording it right

[foggy plover]

I know what you mean (the chat gets deleted but Thor and the mods can still see it), but I don't think that's what happened. But I wouldn't know for sure without seeing the submitted msg

[serene valley]

true

[fringe crane]

yea mods can see it but did not go through

seems like there was a bug

[foggy plover]

If the mods told you it was a bug, it might've been a false kill from Heimdall 😉

[fringe crane]

maybe but thats odd it was just words maybe one of the words was

by accident

[foggy plover]

That's the double-edged sword that is regex LOL

[fringe crane]

oh its cause i spelled can`t wrong XD

[serene valley]

could you not just find and replace all ` with '

Did you? LOLOLOLOL

Yes yes my "a" and "u" keys are next to each other on my keyboard too :Kappa:

[serene valley]

like that way people can't break out of the box ever either

[unreal coral]

The only time I have ever gotten sick on a boat was when I took dramamine

[foggy plover]

Buhhh??? What made you reach for the dramamine bottle in the first place?

[unreal coral]

My mom told me to take it so I didn't get sick, I took it, got sick. Went out on the boat the next day not taking it and I was fine

[foggy plover]

Ahh. Now it makes sense, thank you 😉

[unreal coral]

And I want to mention the fact my mom worked on a fishing boat, we have never had boat money

Deep sea fishing and even 20 miles out on a bad wave day I didn't get sick.

[foggy plover]

I will only approach nausea if the motion gets really bad.

[lament sun]

she just used the method that works on her

she didnt do it out of bad faith, we're human. Certain things that works on you might have an advers effect on others

i remember i had to have an armband and chewing gums on my first flight

then i dropped them since i didnt need them anymore too

[unreal coral]

Oh I am not saying she did anything wrong. I had never been out on a boat and she didn't want me to get sick. She can't take Dramamine either for the same reason which at the time I didn't realize anything. I have worked in the back of an ambulance going down the road at 70 MPH standing and that was the only time I have ever been nauseous

[lament sun]

oh i see

then it was probably a work "constraints"

but if you keep doing it you will eventually train so much for it that you wont get nauseous anymore

[unreal coral]

So, when I would get nauseous in the back of the ambulance the solution was (and I don't condone this, but it was advice from my medical professional friend) but an alcohol prep pad helps get rid of nausea if you need to get rid of it quickly

The smell of the alcohol eliminates some other chemical reaction

[queen maple]

It's kinda funny that my question was only interpreted in the VR Context (I was more trying to refer to actual immersive Sims (the design philosophy first made Big by warren spectre of Deus ex fame but it did exist before(unfortunately it's been turned into an industry buzz word which gets slapped onto a lot of VR games or even games like farming simulator which I if I can I like to clarify what I mean by Immersive Sim)

[blissful halo]

No, Thor. Don't create a lil thief gremlin.

[sour wren]

[serene valley]

wait what's a "weird al input" lol

[uncut plover]

What did goggle do this time?

[serene valley]

I have no idea, they banned weird al input search results?

idk what the heck that even means

[foggy plover]

Misspelled? Meant AI?

[serene valley]

I have no idea? maybe

oh yeah then it makes sense

they banned search results from weird AI inputs

[foggy plover]

Especially if it's an auto-correct thing

[serene valley]

ah maybe they just went "no you can't search for better pizza sauce recipes anymore"

because the AI said to put glue

rather than fix the AI

"sanitize" user input

lol

[uncut plover]

... i feel like weird Al would have a lot of fun with this mmmmm

[serene valley]

true

[uncut plover]

I was going for teaching in Michigan. But they made it competitive to get into the programs so i just got a general degree with two minors... just dont know what i want to do. Happy i got out of being a teacher though

who spells spekulaas with a K the heck

it's with a C

Speculaas

:(

[fossil sapphire]

who out here saying spekulaas?

[serene valley]

tts

#answered-tts message

[livid path]

Guy: “I can’t get a girlfriend to save my life”
Thor: “stop looking for a girlfriend”-look for a boyfriend 👌

[fossil sapphire]

ahh so it's like a snack i presume.

[serene valley]

speculaas is a kind of spiced biscuit

kinda like gingerbread

but different

[fossil sapphire]

ooh

i do like a good gingerbread

[serene valley]

it's what biscoff speculoos is based on

if you know that

[fossil sapphire]

in a very northeuropean fashion gingedbread and bluecheese :D

dont know that, sorry :D

[serene valley]

this is speculaas cookies/biscuits

[knotty marsh]

I play both fields and I am still in the bench

[dark jay]

I KNOW THIS

IT'S THOSE GINGERBREAD COOKIES

[serene valley]

not quite I think

I believe speculaas and gingerbread are not the exact same thign

[dark jay]

I think it's not gingerbread but it's close?

[dark jay]

Yeah.. let me try to find it

[serene valley]

gingerbread has more ginger than speculaas

[dark jay]

Ye Verkade Speculaas right?

[serene valley]

I mean speculaas is just the cookie you get when you use speculaas spices in a cookie

[dark jay]

Speculaas is a spice? never knew that

I think it contains cinamon too?

[serene valley]

it's not 1 spice

it's a combination of a few

of which cinnamon is one

if you ever buy a vial of it, it just lists which spices are in it

[dark jay]

I see

[uncut plover]

I hate the new app

[flint sinew]

[serene valley]

no idea about the new app things we're talking about

I have the old one

oh we're talking about the feed section

never used it

maybe people are getting defaulted to it yeah

[queen maple]

Definitely an AB Test which based on the final letter may have more then 3 versions being tested

[serene valley]

how can yuo have an AB test when you go to C

clearly an ABC test

[queen maple]

It's just a shorthand referral for multi group testing plan (probably using their beta users don't know if it's non beta users)

[serene valley]

( I know, I was meming )

[queen maple]

(And I saw an opportunity to use the medium version of what ab tests are named after)

[dark jay]

Oh Canele, those are lovely but hard to make

[sleek seal]

if Thor won't bread mods, should we bread Thor and feed him to the mods?

[unique lance]

illegal, just sneak them bread

[lament sun]

hey is Nostale considered a 2.5 D

as well ?

[serene valley]

CEO?

[sleek seal]

aite, so Thor is gon be on Summer Game Fest announcing smth about GameJam

[serene valley]

fo sho it's a publishing house of some kind

[fossil sapphire]

are we sure?

[serene valley]

no we're not

[fossil sapphire]

has any indie publisher been on sgf

realistically

[edgy hazel]

how is twitch chat so slow that my messages can be read/responded to with 11.8k watching

(not by thor, by people in chat)

[foggy plover]

Part of that is the web app giving you a certain perception, a part is Thor just happening to cue in on your message, and another possible part is you just post during a lull. Which does happen

[fossil sapphire]

most people are not chatting?

[serene valley]

yeah don't post during a noita vote

chat go brr

[edgy hazel]

am newish to twitch so that suprised me is all! the responses were in good fun too

[high canopy]

Wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them just had it on in the background, just listening to his voice. There is an asmr tag iirc.

[edgy hazel]

Yeah usually Im sleeping while watching thor but today and yesterday decided to watch while awake :) so that makes sense

[foggy plover]

When chat is chatting at a "normal" speed, watch when you post. Your message will "slow down" briefly on your screen. This is probably done by the web app on purpose

[serene valley]

on mobile it's 100% keeping your message in focus for a bit too

[foggy plover]

Yeah, and I guarantee this is only on our side. The rest of chat, and Thor aren't seeing that slow down

[edgy hazel]

thanks y'all I can cross off "learn something" off my to do list for the day ^^

[rugged jasper]

I never even knew Star Citizen still exists

Much less that people are spending money on it

[sterile sinew]

it's one of those games where if you listen to kotaku nothing has happened, but if you actually pay attention to the project it just keeps putting out updates.

[livid path]

While the monetization is bad, it’s the only reason they’ve been able to raise that much money, which has led directly to them being able to create amazing new stuff for the industry. Yeah I don’t like it, but I understand the reason and it’s working for them. All we can really hope for is once it’s fully released they change that

Once base building is implemented in Q3 (hopefully), I’m buying the game too. The game is honestly so beautiful and has so many cool features

What makes it passable to me is that they have trust with the community, they’re very open about development and we can see the things that come from it. Riot on the other hand have absolutely no trust, and aren’t trying to fund making the game a better experience for people, they just want money to fill their pockets as far as the community is concerned.

[sterile sinew]

Yeah, very few companies show the internal processes of the games development (bugs and all) on two weekly shows. People also don't realize that CIG is paying wages and bills for 4 studios around the world, nor do people remember that CIG isn't only making one game and until late last year most of the dev power was on Squadron 42.

The explosion of progress on star citizen this year almost gave the community whiplash 😆

[fallow fable]

pay for game, but no game

[sleek seal]

wait for Noita and people voting.
Most people just lurk.

[edgy hazel]

yeah it's busy now

[sleek seal]

like, 300 votes in noita? Chat's flying for a minute

it's a blur

[spiral quail]

Got supper lucky with my channel points

[serene valley]

I hope thor gets to my TTS and installs my mod, we get more events that way

only ~10 left

I think I'm number 91 in queue

[vivid crest]

Thor: this doesnt work
Numerous chatters: does that thing u just said wont work, work? I think it will, you should try it!
Me reading chat: . . .

[covert monolith]

this happens quite a bit lol

[vivid crest]

yup

or the 1 person a minute "@ thor, I just got here, what u doin'!"
stream would get NO WHERE if these people were all answered lmao

Curious though

How do mobs currently get spawned, with hp set to a custom amount, and what about this, doesnt work for what thor is trying to do?

Also: why minecraft is of the stupid

[covert monolith]

answer; Java

the other stuff idk Ive only been slightly paying attention cause Im at work

[vivid crest]

and how did microsoft do such a big stupid to make bedrock, and then, screw it up, instead of making it into something java players will want to move to, so they can deprecate java mc, and the horror it is.

[covert monolith]

oh, thats cause of capitalism :D

[vivid crest]

<scream>

[wintry sluice]

Well, if someone needs a summary of the stream until now:

[serene valley]

so close! I think my tts is next :D

[dark jay]

EYYYY you got in the queue

[serene valley]

I know :D

[covert monolith]

for that split second he rlly thought you were gnoming him

[serene valley]

no gnomes sorry

[vague elk]

Gee Nomes

[solar gazelle]

Where do I put questions for the stream?

[unique lance]

send a 500 bit tts on twitch, or a superchat on yt. cheaper on yt.

but...you're paying yt

[covert monolith]

!tts

[dapper raven]

You can have Text To Speech (TTS) for any bit donation 500 or higher. Once submitted, your message will be added to The Queue, which Thor activates manually. If Thor does not get to your message by the end of stream it will become 'Debt' on the 'Debt-Tracker' channel in Discord. Thor pays out to charity when that value hits $7,777 or more. Answered TTS questions are timestamped in Discord in the answered-tts channel.

[solar gazelle]

Thank you!!!

[foggy plover]

Chances are that this late in the day he may not get to the end of that queue. Just for thought

[unique lance]

remember to put everything you want to say in the chat. people have a habit of accidently not giving all the info needed and leave thor confuse

[solar gazelle]

No worries. I'll probably do it tomorrow just wanted to make sure I did it correctly! Thank you!

[forest glacier]

I did too

[serene valley]

heh since thor doesn't want to hurt ferrets I added invulnerability

[covert monolith]

yeeees immortal ferrets!

[serene valley]

I'm just adding an "all invulnerable" option as well

even the ones that bite you would be invulnerable

thor doesn't want to hurt virtual ferrets

so he'll be able to configure it that way

[covert monolith]

and then theyll hurt him instead, just like real life

[serene valley]

yes

[loud blade]

Why are the values Thor is entering being hard coded instead of being loaded from a file?

[untold kelp]

Probably best to ask Thor that. 😛

[serene valley]

block game working

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-emperors-new-groove-its-all-coming-together-gif-12813012

[loud blade]

I mean it doesn't matter if you never have to go back and change the values, but I would assume balancing will require these values to be edited in the future and editing the file would be faster than editing each spot in this file. My question is not important enough for the stream.

[torn lynx]

Odd question, anybody know if Thor has ever explained YouTube monetization? I'm considering monetizing, but I'm worried about how it might affect how people experience the videos I've put out there.

[lament sun]

doubt

thor modiefied how the XP system works

its just a matter of time before he fixes everything

[serene valley]

I just want thor to play noita with ferret mod

[lament sun]

eh i dont think he has the time to do it on stream this month

[serene valley]

F

[livid path]

After witnessing animal well I can’t go back… I have to make part of my game an ARG

[torn lynx]

Seeing Thor play Animal Well helped reaffirm that I would like to some day design a game (or games) that feature a rabbit-hole conspiracy.

[livid path]

Completely understandable

[serene valley]

add a haunted printer lol

[earnest mirage]

It's not really hardcoded. This is a server side modification and he is modifying and creating configuration files, sort of.

[modest scarab]

[torn lynx]

Oh come to think of it, there should be a distinction for sizes of potions. Like a mouthful sized potion can be a free action, but bigger potion would take longer.

[minor turtle]

40 mph is strong but not bad storm strong

[hidden wharf]

has thor seen this?! I feel its inspired by his ideals but also showcases how deep you can go with game developement:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U4iSuj4iX4

[torn lynx]

That's only like 65kph, that's like a normal breeze around here. Is that an american thing?

[minor turtle]

Depends on where in America you are for me in the Midwest that’s not much unless your driving a small car cause then it will shove you around a bit on the road

[torn lynx]

I suppose for a bit of context, there's a section of highway about an hour away from me called "the wreckhouse"; usually if the wind get sback enough to throw trucks off the road, that's where it happens. I think the wind warnings start at 80kph?

[minor turtle]

Wherever Thor is does not have the infrastructure for this with how fast they are losing power

[torn lynx]

Apparently not, that's wild to me.

[serene valley]

impromptu stream ending might happen then

[livid path]

“Are we getting spinny-boy’d? Oh it’s greater Minnesota’s problem”

God he just has such a way with words

[minor turtle]

So Thor’s not much into weather

[livid path]

Man I would love that weather over here in Tennessee

[minor turtle]

It’s June the only thing your getting is heat, hail, and tornados

[livid path]

I am literally dying in this heat and humidity

It’s horrid

Send hail

[minor turtle]

I’m southern Illinois so feel you there

[livid path]

Not quite tornados, I’ve had 4 in all the cardinal directions around me in very close proximity, so the next one doesn’t bode well

[forest glacier]

Well this doesn’t look good, these come directly after the current one gets absorbed into Canada.. @outer gust

The spinny 9’s

[minor turtle]

Welcome to El Niño everybody

[outer gust]

we get these all the time

the weather service would be screeching if it were serious

[livid path]

Considering moving to Washington

[outer gust]

there is also a giant mountain range between us and the ocean

called the olympics

[forest glacier]

cool, Im not from an area with super crazy lookin weather patterns. This would seems a lil spooky to me

[minor turtle]

Just wait till August

[outer gust]

im from tornado country this is like a light breeze to me

wa is gorgeous

[livid path]

Oh hey any good examples of metroidvania and rogue-lite combined?

[mental siren]

i was warned about people like this

i just didnt believe anyone

thats crazy

[sterile canyon]

Everyone should use Gentoo. It is just better. And you learn a lot.

[mental siren]

i use windows cause im too lazy to change anything

[sterile canyon]

You can install Gentoo in to windows if you want to go for an extra level of insanity

WSL to the win

[unique lance]

the second i'm forced to windows 11 is the second I switch entirely to manjaro cause I've been wanting to learn it

learned all my linux knowledge from mint. mint is nice if you just want windows minus windows. meaning it's visually similar :V

[sterile canyon]

You might then enjoy pop!_os

[unique lance]

But I wanna be the meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeme

I used mint at the time because it's xcfe version had a very small install footprint and ran well on an older computer

[sterile canyon]

Anything that is Ubuntu based is not that small unfortunately. But it depends how small we are talking. My personal preference for "micro distro" is either Tiny Core or ArchBang if you wanna meme

Tiny core needs 64MB of ram to run. You can run this on a toaster

Asus is Asus. Although they have quite a bit warranty issues as of late. Luis Rossman did a video about it recently

[minor turtle]

So did gamers nexus

I believe he was even the first one to bring this up and later Luis mentioned it

[minor turtle]

They were they sent their device back for repair and asus tried to screw over gamers nexus of all people

[zealous frost]

Did Thor mention the Plasma game from yesterday at all today?

[vague elk]

I think I heard a TTS earlier about someone getting stuck after coming out of the tutorial.

[earnest mirage]

their warranty is bad since decades. about 15 years ago i sent them my monitor because the power supply failed and they want me to send everything. Couple of months later received it back and it was broken. They break it (definietly no transport damage) and also want me to pay for transport because its broken...
Since then i never bought any expensive stuff from asus ever again.

[flint sinew]

[fossil sapphire]

what a timing starr

[flint sinew]

oh?

[sterile canyon]

Crazy

[fossil sapphire]

nah i just.. looked the above post about asus shit rma and then you blast in with dumpy :D

[subtle berry]

Re: art in card games: the beta art in Slay The Spire is hilarious

What a great way to reward a skilled playthru

[lament sun]

oof

[earnest mirage]

crazy is the fact that i still buy a lot of stuff from asus. But thats because they changed their warranty policy. In germany you don't have to deal with asus directly anymore. Instead you contact the dealer where you bought the part and my experience with them is very good. They test most of the stuff in house and it's way faster and if they could verify the issue i get a new part and they deal with asus and not me.

Thor is winning chat. He has almost finished the TTS.

[covert monolith]

wasnt paying attention to the screen and thought he just wrote "GOD" in all caps and underlined it in MSPaint

[minor turtle]

Did I catch that right jam game update in four days …is this related to big announcement

[outer mauve]

I've added to it

Don't let him finish the queue

Drop landmines!

Ask him things he'll totally spend a bunch of time on

Hell yeah

Cooking By Thor is being requested

[spiral moss]

we raided into PizzaPrincessG

Whoever did that TTS about tutoring a few minutes ago needs to discover the organic chemistry tutor

[fiery bloom]

I clicked on it, and didn't go. Might be my tablet or need to update again.

chat almost convinced her that thors birthday is today

[spiral moss]

his birthday is every day

[minor turtle]

I always have to leave and rejoin the the raid

[spiral moss]

she seems really sweet

Seeing that pizza place makes me miss the east coast so bad, it's hard to find quality pizza like back home

She really does seem so sweet

shes so cute 😭

Is anyone here? I have a question

Just ask the question, the answer will find its way to you. Instead all you got just now is yes, there's people here some times. :>

[cyan stratus]

Can i get a cursed quest for because im super sick and too lethargic to click on stream early/fast enough to get it the normal way /mostly joking

Lmao

[coarse niche]

Why is stream back in emote only mode?

[cyan stratus]

I dunno

[pulsar fulcrum]

Stream is starting.

[cyan stratus]

That

[fossil sapphire]

why is? dont worry about it.

[pulsar fulcrum]

less trouble at start, prob due to early spam and checking tools?

[cyan stratus]

Don't wanna have people spamming bad messages before heimdall awakens

[coarse niche]

That's the thing, we had a moment where we could talk, then I tabbed out and when I tabbed back in a minute or two later it was back in emote mode

[pulsar fulcrum]

Thor needs to connect his AI in

[fossil sapphire]

Thor is blind :D

[storm lintel]

This is too funny

don't let the hype train die, keep it going the whole stream

how old is thor again? I forgor

[fossil sapphire]

36

uhh, 37 in july?

something like that

[vivid crest]

so then I was right, help me spread word that he has lived more seconds then he has youtube views :)

[cobalt umbra]

to bad this isn't stocked in the usa, amazing Aussie candy.

[brisk crow]

actually where can we see like the final results of these challenges at?

wanna see al lthe cursed products

[fossil sapphire]

only when thor reviews them.

sometimes the chatters post about them on discord.

but i feel like most of them squat the cursed quest just to get attention from thor.

[brisk crow]

oh is it like around the end of stream or whenever its posted?

[fossil sapphire]

no its whenever Thor feels like it

[brisk crow]

welp, time to scavange like a ferret burrow in here lmao

[fossil sapphire]

when there's enough submissions to review and chat to vote.

[storm lintel]

I have heard him comment a couple times that he needs to do a review soon. But with his calendar coming up, I imagine soon is going to be after all that

"java is dogshit" LMAO

[brisk crow]

is there a gamejam channel and stuff here? :0

[chrome hound]

look in channels & roles at the top of the side menu

[brisk crow]

a dang how did i miss that thanks

[forest glacier]

Well that was weird as hell. Seemed like the Windows Audio Subsystem was broke somehow and nothing on my PC was producing sound. Restart was only fix, tried disabling and reenabling devices with no fix. Anyway, who knows what I missed?

[granite perch]

Generally speaking a restart is all that's required in some instances, if you have any outboard hardware like an audio interface, reboot that as well.

[cobalt umbra]

I wonder how many grenades Khronos has tossed at Thor recently?

[granite perch]

Sometimes I just have to reboot my Audio Interface for my sound to work, and sometimes a piece of software my audio goes through crashes

[forest glacier]

I only have VoiceMeeter and an amp and I know its not the amp because the Volume Mixer wasnt showing any signal

[granite perch]

What do you use VoiceMeeter for

I've always found VoiceMeeter to be a tad bit clunky

[forest glacier]

I had a Windows clock ringing and it wasnt outputting the sounds, so it was something deeper and more mysterious.

[earnest mirage]

haunted computer?

[forest glacier]

I use it for 6 band full parametric EQ and audio routing, never had any problems with it in 6 years

[granite perch]

And what's the hardware you use to output to speakers

Because if you have hardware that gets your audio from your computer to the speakers then sometimes that needs a reboot

[forest glacier]

Headphones, but Pioneer SX-6000, and there was no signal from the computer, deffo not the amp fault

[granite perch]

Sometimes signal can go out between the computer and the hardware

[forest glacier]

and that would show up here as no devices having any signal?

if it goes thru VoiceMeeter before leaving the computer and VoiceMeeter also says no signal...

Check volumes everywhere, make sure nothing anywhere is muted, sometimes updating your drivers will fix issues

Like if you have a custom built computer, it can help to go to your mobo manufacturer and get the software to reinstall drivers or update them

[forest glacier]

I did not try updating but disabling and enabling didnt fix. it was the first time id ever come across the issue. hpefully doesnt happen again

[rugged jasper]

Question because I might have missed it:
Is there a limit to what kind of program can be used for the game jam?
As well as whether it can just be a text based game? Or does it need certain amount of gameplay to it?

[granite perch]

Sometimes glitches happen, but just make sure your software is all up to date and your hardware and connections are solid and not broken in any way

[lament sun]

theres is the requirement section on itch.io. Make sure to read it

[rugged jasper]

Thank you! ^^

I couldn't find anything about what game programs can be used

[rugged jasper]

Nevermind, I misunderstood the rules ;; i understand now

[clear grove]

Is Rabbit and Steel the one Thor sometimes calls a ff14 raid boss simulator?

[solid ridge]

https://itch.io/jam/pirate
Only requirement for software is that it should be able to run or export in a way that allows for play through browser. So whatever software you use - see if it's possible. As for what games and gameplay - even a visual novel or interactive image is fine, game jam is for learning

[rugged jasper]

Thank you!
It took me so long to realize that there's no specific game program or genre we needed to use because it wasn't listed in the rules.

[solid ridge]

only requirement as far as I can see - game design document and "your prototype MUST run as a browser upload here on itch.io."

[rugged jasper]

Got it ^^ thank you

That's understandable to help prevent downloaded malware

[inner summit]

browser games can be malware ... so it doesn't completely insulate you from it...
however there's a better chance it's not malware

[dark jay]

Potatoes Au Gratin is great but the amount of cream is insane.. you need something to balance it out.. I want to try changing the cream with Bolognaise sauce to see if it'll balance the flavour out

#answered-tts message

also for this one, Github has a thing called "Pages" so you can host websites via Github, noted they have to be basic websites so no fancy databases or anything - for instance: https://birphon.github.io/psn-regions-may-2024/

You can also make a page for your own .io link i.e. birphon.github.io so that way you can have a "homepage" now you have birphon.github.io/index.html as a "homepage" and you can link all your other sites to this

[sacred junco]

what just happened/

[vague palm]

goddamit Thor do you really have to host a jam at the same time as another one lol what am I supposed to do with this
Oh well

[serene valley]

hehe some people are now also telling thor about the noita ferret mod even tho he already saw it

[foggy plover]

Yea this is a recurring theme 'round here 😉 When you realize that people still come in and "tell" Thor about what Sony did to Helldivers, or the inverse (they don't even know about what Sony did), then yeah such things are just part of our goblin lives

[vague elk]

Precessing hairline.

[foggy plover]

Speaking of the topic of the moment, has anyone seen any progress updates on LTT's work to correct their issues of late?

[fossil sapphire]

they released the third party audit.

if that's what you mean

[foggy plover]

Yeah. I haven't seen it yet

[unique lance]

btw, we're back to this, considering the thief we were talking about posted exactly the short for today

[fossil sapphire]

it was on their twitter.

[foggy plover]

I don't follow them on Twitter, just YT. That's probably why I missed it. But also, I didn't catch it from any of the "creator" news sites

[unique lance]

oh neat, he already gottem

[fossil sapphire]

well, the audit they released was in their favor, and doesnt seem like much what madison claimed held water, so no one wants to pick it up again.

[woeful geyser]

did linus ever actually properly apologise for auctioning off a watercooler prototype, that was loaned to them, during an event with competing companies?

[fossil sapphire]

why dont you find out

[severe hinge]

yes

this shit happened almost 10 months ago, the info is out there, find it lol

[unique lance]

also I still have yt membership even though I stopped it a while ago 🙏

good old yt

[severe hinge]

(yes it's been 10 months, you are allowed to feel old for 10 seconds before going back to whatever you were doing)

[unique lance]

yeah people never follow up on stuff

weird behavior

[fossil sapphire]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1cyf1je/ltt_on_twitter/l59ajlm/ here's the text from someone on reddit.

[fossil sapphire]

only drama feeds the algo

sadly.

[foggy plover]

It's not weird. You expect them to take some time to do their reviews and get their results together. Then you wait for the tech news to pump it out on the feeds. Then you get distracted with life and forget about it.

[unique lance]

yeah I get it if you don't follow them

[hollow anvil]

drama-llama algos exist

[unique lance]

but if you hear something like...check back after a year especially if they're popular, you're more likely than not going to see it fixed. sometimes it'll even be on fire and you get more fun!

[fossil sapphire]

and this is LTT case, big drama flares up, "DID LTT ACTUALLY PUNCH THEIR EMPLOYEE" they take the proper route, 3rd party audit to the whole situation, and the answer is "no", so no wonder no one picks it up.

it makes the original employee look even worse.

[unique lance]

she was just mad she never got a tech upgrade :V jk btw

[severe hinge]

for the immediate stuff, we got answers within a couple weeks
for the investigation, we got an answer eventually, because investigations take time, unsurprisingly

[unique lance]

but yeah considering ltt is a large yt company...lying about them when they were absolutely going to lock down and investigate it was a weird move considering some of their fans might be just a bit internet-brained unhinged

[foggy plover]

One part (Madison) was found to be... unfounded. The other stuff was... founded. So not all of it was lying

[unique lance]

yeah I'm talking about the first part. The other stuff was just a massive screwup that shouldn't have happened, and I'm glad it did, cause if it does again we can be actually mad that it did.

now they should absolutely be on top of stuff like that. If they're not, full-on 🖕🏻

[severe hinge]

they very much are now

[unique lance]

ye

[severe hinge]

and were already starting to sort stuff out before the GN video happened

[unique lance]

like it sucks for everyone involved but it wasn't something that could sink the ship, and was a valuble lesson to learn

[severe hinge]

which not to mention that video had it's own mess around it

[unique lance]

also yeah screw GN.

don't like him for that move

[severe hinge]

literally a single business day between the last contact to BL and the GN video going live

[unique lance]

"we reached out for comment 2 hours ago and then said I WANT MORE CLICKS PRINT THAT ISH"

scumbag behavior

[severe hinge]

no, no "we didn't reach out for comment because we're hypocrites"

[foggy plover]

Steve can be hyperbolic in some of his expose videos, but if he doesn't go out with stuff like that he's probably gonna get scooped, soooo.....

[severe hinge]

"I literally have this guy's phone number but I'm not going to even ask him a single question"

[unique lance]

who gives a single crap if he gets scooped

[severe hinge]

anyway, enough of this lol

[unique lance]

trust but verify, don't be an idiot

back to the stream, that enderman thing needs to never be a thing I ever see ever

[severe hinge]

steve sits on a big pile of salt when it comes to anything ltt related, there's a weird one-sided feud going on

and it's been building up for a few years

so it's not that surprising he'd go knives-out the second he had even the slightest reason to

[unique lance]

right, scumbag

[fossil sapphire]

who cares about some youtubers feuds?

their whole thing is their reviews (and maybe entertainment)

[severe hinge]

me, when it's an actual feud.... which is very rare lol

[unique lance]

yeah I can say with 100% certainty I don't watch ltt for reviews lol and most people don't either considering their most watch videos are usually "we bought dumb crap from china"

[foggy plover]

I mean, that's your opinion. No actual proof of a feud.

[unique lance]

s p i d e r

[plucky plover]

Has anyone else been having an issue not earning channel points/not getting their watch streak?

I've been watching for the last couple hours, and still am not getting anything

[unique lance]

nope.

[foggy plover]

@plucky plover Did you refresh already?

[plucky plover]

Multiple times, tried signing out and back it, have trying switching over from my laptop to my phone, hour later to my desktop pc

TBH not as worried about points, just don't want to lose my streak

It's stuck in progress

[serene valley]

about as fast as yesterday

[livid path]

How is Thor that old? He looks 20, but he’s almost senior, it’s crazy

[sacred junco]

he's prob learned a thing or 2 from Tom Scott

[uncut plover]

I cast infant dz nuts

[livid path]

I cast true immortality.

[foggy plover]

"senior"? WOW LOL

[covert monolith]

Hes later 30s iirc

37? 36? one of those, idr exactly

[uncut plover]

I cast working retail

[livid path]

Yeah 35, isn’t that almost senior? Think it’s like 40 or smth

[livid path]

Oh god no

[foggy plover]

Hahaha I hope not. I'm 51 and I still feel sorta young LOL

[livid path]

Oh yeah you’re definitely young

It’s just senior for Thor

[foggy plover]

I mean, I'm not "young" either, but I only just started getting AARP letters in the mail a few years ago LOLOLOL

[hard laurel]

Thor looks 36

his shiny hair just disguises his wrinkles

[rancid plover]

yo could anyone tell me the name of the game he had up before the ad?

[hard laurel]

kind of like how a ferret disguises itself with fur

[rancid plover]

the cute animals with guns game

[small crescent]

Biblically Accurate Table Flip

[livid path]

Two more streams and I’ll be at 20

Thor is a man of culture, instantly understood why my spell of immortality was bad

[torn lynx]

Hmm.. I think I ignored Sony correctly on Steam, but now I'm curious about who else to block. I'm torn about ignoring EA, but one of the first things I saw was Dungeon Keeper.

[covert monolith]

HELLO??

tts user casting a spell in there, jfc

[torn lynx]

I know right? That was a lot of somethin

[uncut plover]

I have only seen it as mob dudes

[torn lynx]

Oh come to think of it, has Thor ever played Cultist Simulator? I bet he'd really get into that.

[fiery bloom]

Hell, I've been getting AARP letters for 20 years. Started getting them when I was 28.

[lament sun]

somebody call an ambulance

[serene valley]

NOOOOOOO

[lament sun]

we have an hemorrage here

[serene valley]

:(

[fiery bloom]

Kept telling them no, I am not a senior citizen. Still would get them like clock work

[covert monolith]

CULT CULT CULT

[unique lance]

he plays noita all the time what's the maaaaaaaaatter with you people

[lament sun]

cult of the lamb twitch stuff is so NOT ready for the goblins

[unique lance]

new stuff, my dudes, what's wrong with you

[serene valley]

I need to see thor play with hte ferret mod

[covert monolith]

Its 100% gonna break LOL

[serene valley]

that's new stuff

[lament sun]

they even dropped the s*x update recently

lmao

[unique lance]

I went from 50k channel points to 250

[serene valley]

30k -> 19k

[lament sun]

320-> 296 heh

why y'all spamming join ? i dont have the prompt on screen yet ?

[foggy plover]

That looks like "free thinking". Very un-cult-like. You should just do what we're doing. Because cult.

[gusty obsidian]

Confirmed cult ^^

[spice dome]

I still don't believe !join does anything

[forest glacier]

it doesnt, he turned off Twitch messages

[spice dome]

that's the integration, which does the work

[gusty obsidian]

i am aware lmao more so the channel memes

[lament sun]

i dont have this thing

neither under chrome or under firefox

[spice dome]

more peeps in the raffle than most channels have viewers

[mental island]

You may need to refresh the stream to have the extension show

[gusty obsidian]

This ^^ i had to Control + R

[covert monolith]

sometimes it also just doesnt work unfortunately

its pretty finnicky

[lament sun]

oh nvm you have to hover the mouse here

i think ?

[serene valley]

the integration wasn't showing up for me so it was weird

[foggy plover]

Yea it's the right side button above Thor's head

[serene valley]

yeah that wasn't showing up for me at all so I was so confused

[torn meteor]

When Noita loses the vote https://youtu.be/h8x9l98elJ4?si=KC0C6ZovTogIWyYl

[mental island]

Yup, that's one way to confirm the extension is showing. When Thor runs a follower raffle, it'll show a big banner over the stream video if you want to join the raffle

[sand kraken]

https://imgur.com/a/2NWqdDV

This is the best after school sandwich club

[covert monolith]

weirdly enough I had to swap from chrome to firefox for the thing to pop up for me

[serene valley]

I just reloaded it

[wintry pond]

is this his 1st time ever or just a new save?

[mental island]

The cult shall grow soon enough!

[serene valley]

first time

[mental island]

First time playing

[wintry pond]

I love this game, had a cult of alphabet, where everyone was just a leter

[sand kraken]

I absolutely love it too. I 100%'d it before the relic patch came out and now I need to go back and do it again

[lament sun]

meh i cant get it to work on mozilla

not even without extensions

not sure whats happening

its cool on chrome on my end

[mental island]

Yeah, the extension is really weird with how it varies from person to person. Sometimes it works in their preferred browser, sometimes it doesn't :/

[lament sun]

no its probaly some privacy settings mozilla has by default

[primal tapir]

The cult has arrived

[mental island]

Oh, probably. I have no issues atm with Firefox - but I have changed some of the default settings

[fossil sapphire]

Thor showing of his bread, right in front of the hungry moderators?!

[wintry pond]

I am in some other creators cult and in there we act like everything you do in the game, you do in real life, and one of the members wanted to eat shit and we had an intervention for them

[lament sun]

if y'all managed to get this to work on firefox can you dm me your pricavy settings ? danke

[mental island]

I just have Firefox's standard privacy settings with autoplay disabled for Twitch.
I remember some folks in other communites I've participated in with Cult of the Lamb had to:

• toggle the extension - hover over the stream video, on the right side (above Thor's cam) click on the Companion of the Lamb icon, toggle the visibility
• in the same Companion of the Lamb icon, Manage Access and Revoke/Approve
• clear their browser cache
• refresh a bunch of times until the extension finally appeared for them

[wintry pond]

I am sad that theres no irl version of the cards you can buy

!join

[ivory creek]

!join

[covert monolith]

!join

[serene valley]

the ui has disappeared the heck

[wintry pond]

if I see chat spam something I !join

[covert monolith]

!cult

[wintry pond]

if you refuse or close it it will

[serene valley]

I refreshed like 3 times

[minor turtle]

Does the overlay not work with n mobile

[wintry pond]

dont think so, or it shows below the stream

[covert monolith]

not a clue personally

[covert monolith]

for PC it pops up like this

[lament sun]

thanks for the tips i'll check again

[wintry pond]

on the screan, it will pop up and you click I wan to join

[lament sun]

oh the last point is really sad

[mental island]

For mobile, there's a small red Companion of the Lamb icon near that chat window. So, in the area where it shows the top sub gifters, top bit cheers, etc

[lament sun]

imma have both chrome and firefox open

keep chrome open until firefox works again

[wintry pond]

do you have addblock?

[fossil sapphire]

the overlay is infamously buggy.

[high canopy]

if you can see this then go into manage access and check if access is granted or not

[mental island]

You may need to refresh. If the extension is working you'll see that black/white praying icon on the left side of the screen, and the red Companion of the Lamb icon above Thor's cam

[fossil sapphire]

saw a streamer with 8k viewers try to get it to working. the api responses are slow as hell due to so many people joining

[lament sun]

yup, clicking standard privacy setting on firefox made the extension work again

for me wasnt working even with adblockc enabled or disabled

firefox stronk privacy settings lmao

Chat can break anything

[lament sun]

yea its showing no cultist

hmm

help or hinder :D

[covert monolith]

ohp now it does?? weird

[lament sun]

oh help or hinder lmao

[serene valley]

what the heck is the UI doing lol

it's absolutely broken

[covert monolith]

its best

[keen mesa]

They knew

[mental island]

lol the extension keeps going back and forth between the help/hinder and Thor Stinky screens

[serene valley]

imagine if des just live messing with it now

[spice dome]

I have no idea what the extension is doing

[lament sun]

neither the extension

[lean imp]

@flint sinew

[flint sinew]

amazing

[spice dome]

what the heck?

[serene valley]

what is that UI

who controls that

[keen mesa]

Lamo

[foggy plover]

It's broke

[spice dome]

do mods have access to it? Or are the devs playing with it?

[serene valley]

yeah but that text has to come from somewhere?

like, who controls that

[keen mesa]

I like to think massive monster is secretly making these in real time

[marsh forge]

I'm searching the game files if i can see anything there......

[wintry pond]

I think its the game devs, helping this frequent is unnatural

[spice dome]

[wintry pond]

its totaly the devs

[covert monolith]

[random turret]

BREAD FOR THE MODS

[marsh forge]

yeah, with this frequency the devs are messing with thor - I love it

[serene valley]

and thor is just not even seeing it

[spice dome]

and he has no idea

[keen mesa]

This can't be a bug surely...

[wintry pond]

its funny how thor has no idea what is happening

[covert monolith]

👀 oh hes noticed LOL

[wintry pond]

do we ping him here to show?

[foggy plover]

He doesn't see at's most of the time

Yeah it's bad

Bot should just ban anyone who uses everyone and here in the same message that isn't a mod

[serene valley]

I would hope that at least it would check for the @ in there

[soft chasm]

Why do people keep saying telegram in stream

[serene valley]

because if I just say everyone here is so nice

[soft chasm]

[serene valley]

I'd get banned

lol

[lament sun]

not people, mods

[marsh forge]

i thounght non mod users couldn't even use the mass pings

[spice dome]

mods and thor use it to communicate

[lament sun]

urgent private chat probably

[serene valley]

probably so thor checks his telegram

[soft chasm]

Ahh

Mystery solved lol

Chat started spamming it too it bewildered me

[marsh forge]

Chat was just parroting the mods

[covert monolith]

yeah sometimes people do that to help him see it in the sea of other chatters lol

[lament sun]

shit's important if its on telegram

that's all i know tbh

[soft chasm]

[marsh forge]

is the topmost folder the devs trolling or human error? - after this stream I guess I got the answer...

[foggy plover]

I wonder why they use Telegram over Signal. I don't know much about either app, but I thought Signal had pretty good end-to-end encryption too?

[serene valley]

So does Telegram

[foggy plover]

's why I used "too" at the end there 😉

[marsh forge]

yeah, between Telegram and Signal is mostly decided by what most people in the group are already using
