Unbelievable Menger Fractal Megabuild in Performium Wild SMP

For Hello again viewers and greetings fellow space Travelers this is Thorn of Knight and welcome to Thursday the 11th of January 2024 it is a nice cold evening and I am going to be doing some building today uh while I do have more work to do on the refugee Regent project as well as

A little bit of um leftover busy work for the Skyrim thing uh there is there is a need for me to sometimes take a day away from all the the heavy lifting and just you know relax and that’s what I’m going to do today especially because all day yesterday before and after my

Stream I was working on trying to figure out how to do something new with my stream uh and I’ll get to that in just a little bit but let’s just say that there’s going to be a new thing on the screen but before I get into any of that

Let me say thank you to Elm 11 zma Infinium Sean Robert Kemp little cuddles and xblaze Ninja zero every one of you for what support you can offer through patreon and uh I I need to also amend this to say patreon and YouTube members but uh I’ll probably

Wait until I get a my first YouTube member um anyway thank you guys ever so very much uh it really does help me to keep things afloat here uh let’s see here also speaking of xplays ninja zero if I can find the there is Discord there there are there is a dad joke

Summoned by xplays Ninja zero what do you call a boomerang that won’t come back a stick ah imagine throwing a stick sometime in the past and you want it out of your hair it’s it’s got some heft to it and it’s just annoying and in the way and you

Chuck it and by some weird fluke of the wind and the shape of the stick it comes back and baps you in the back of the head and you get to thinking I maybe could make this better but that first thought was didn’t I just get rid of you ah boomerangs magic anyway

Let’s get this out of the way move this move that move that I’ve turned the volume down a little hard to tell probably I don’t know uh that and then hide this and get ready for something new because down here in the bottom left I’ve made my face and it talks and it

Blinks too I have gotten the PNG tuber thing going uh I don’t have a webcam and even if I did uh I am excessively shy and on top of that I have uh what most people would call an embarrassing skin condition but for me it’s just something

I live with but you don’t need to be seeing my blotchy face instead you get a cartoon there you go I have made a PNG tuber and he talks now I did uh where where is the PNG tuber thing there it is I I did have a little bit of an issue

With uh getting things set up as you might have noticed if you were on my Discord this is based on my Discord Avatar that I did in paint like 20 years ago Microsoft Paint uh I I had a a day with no internet and got bored and

Wanted to do something other than just fiddle fart around so I decided to make a uh little paint picture Avatar of myself so I could upload it as my avatar cuz things were starting to use avatars and so uh it is based around my little avatar from 20 years ago that did not

Survive being transitioned from pixels on JPEG to full JPEG to PNG back to JPEG and back to PNG it just it’s a little fuzzy and so in addition to that little fuzzy I also had to uh do some more pixel art as a matter of fact fact I I

Had to instead of my smiling face that I have on it I had to go find a closed mouth that I could superimpose and so these aren’t my lips that I drew when my mouth is closed and so I I not I’m not as smiley

As I’d like to be so this is going to change in the future but right now there we go you have my resting twitch face uh let’s see if I can there you go my my my avatar resting twitch face blink blink also I have no nose my nose was not

Preserved through the uh file com compression and and all that kind of stuff jpegs jpegs are they’re they’re awful if you’re wanting to save space they’re fine but jpegs are just the worst man uh hello monkey how goes things uh I have concerns because

Now oh no no no that that works yeah you can see the top of the top hat I think me let me come over to this software here it might be a little no it’s it’s fine and now you get to see the little box of stuff over there cool

All right there we go I was thinking about until I figured out how to do the transparency background I was trying to figure out how to do chroma key stuff and that’s just the worst so it’s it’s transparency um how do I I know that if I minimize

PNG tuber plus then it stops working so I bring this back the front there we go bring that back to the front and put that over there there we go my little PNG tuber all grown up all right today going to be working on the manger sponge going

To be doing some building I I will probably have to do a little bit of um deep slate crafting partway through the the session but that’s okay 257 people so it did crash cuz there were more than 100 extra people when I was looking at it

Before I was in and I got timed out all right so here we are down here on a little platform oh yeah it definitely crashed All right let me do my little customary thing oh uh I need to first off before I go over to Candy I need to go Uh come hang out while I dig a giant fractal and let me grab my link from over here because they don’t like the link shortened version of these things they have to have the actual full proper thing for it to be postable YouTube and the twitch there we go minimize this again and

Then come back over here and go all copy and then make sure that’s in there and enter and then now I can go back over to Candy I I go back I haven’t been there today and now I fly over here oh yeah it definitely crashed and I go

Paste and then I go back to Wild yeah look at all that chat that’s happening in this ever so active server yeah there we go now there’s some chat all right P time at noon put the Sun up there except that’s the other thing P weather

Clear excuse me P weather clear what did I type oh weather clear that would be shocking if that worked ah I don’t by any chance have any new donations do I off chance of course not and you are 15 days away I swear I just I just want to be able to

Put a a 27 by 27 by 27 manger sponge right there I’ll even preserve their shop like I can I can work with this I I can have it so that this is under and inside the manger sponge and then people just come up and over and there’s signs that say Hey go

In here if you want to do that one shop and I will have the pathway go all the way back because I have all of it already measured out except of course for that I need to get a hold of Daniel because he didn’t have this claimed

Before and then he came in and said yoink and he claimed it I don’t know why anyway this is how people are getting up on my build that’s fine but this is all claimed all the way over to here but this is not wait a minute but this is

Ah and these two will never go unclaimed I I had a thought how far back oh bummer so close almost as close as that one all right well let’s get building oh this is the pixel art that keeps showing up they even have an observation point up here this is Darth chicken

Observation point so they can look at this not my work that’s that is Darth chicken’s work ah so it is about to get very cold at my house it’s been hovering around 30ish 35 30 somewhere around in there for like I don’t know the last two

Weeks and now here let me bring up more more current weather I want to see current weather oh hey it’s gotten warmer on the Outlook well tomorrow is still supposed to get down to 16° this is Fahrenheit uh and but then Saturday was originally slated to get

Down to -4 but now it’s only going to get down to two and then Sunday the high is going to be 9° with a low of two that was going to be zero before and then Monday high of 10 with a low of three and and Tuesday high of 10 with a

Low of six so we’ve got 1 2 3 4 5 days and I’m just going to have to keep the water running but then it warms back up to 29 and with a low of 21 and then right back down to a low of 16 so I

Might just have to keep the tap running for a week oh I have to disconnect the outside hes oh no I need to get the pliers okay well that’s on my to-do list no all right back to Minecraft sorry about that oh I do need to lock the PNG

Tuber thing in place that is so weird seeing my little mouth going blah blah blah blah blah blah I’m gonna have to get used to that I here let me just cover that up with my twitch chat there we go yeah if you don’t see it it doesn’t exist right

Okay did I WR yeah I started with four okay so today I was originally going to do another one of the uh ADHD idle clicker Extravaganza streams but I I found myself at the point where it would be doing more code writing uh let’s see here craft a grindstone a grindstone is Spruce

Planks sticks and a stone slab not a smooth stone slab just a stone slab but you might be thinking about a stone cutter just in case I’ll show you this one as well a stone cutter is three stone and an iron ingot if you are helping to make

Chiseled deep slate then a stone cutter is what you need if you are removing enchantments from something then I guess a grindstone is exactly what you need and don’t feel bad about getting those names wrong I still forget things like the blast furnit exist I just you know use my regular

Furnace campfire what’s that we seem to be missing an uh a number of the regular crew today let’s see here let me check something no I did not get any messages saying that they would not not be able to participate oh okay well I know little cuddles likes to be

On and help and she’s on the server but I’ve not seen a message in any of the either of the chats I should say not any but either however the streamlab Chat thing is problematic and I’m not sure it captures all of the chat messages which is why I was looking into restream.io

But uh that looks like it’s going to be a whole other can of worms to deal with and I’m I’m not there yet so I’m just going to have to deal with what I’ve got and just keep a weather eye on the streamlabs YouTube chat and the pop out of the actual twitch

Chat and often she would be chatting in game too mysterious ah that little rubber band thing uh whoa what’s going on cuddles only has one bar I’ve only got three bars I’ll just have to build careful yeah that little Whiplash that that happened back there that seems to be happening an

Awful lot lately on on here is actually more on the uh the candy server apparently twice now that rubber band effect has happened while my wife was trying to uh fly some animals back to her base and both times the animals fell and perished and both times a loud squeal of displeasure

Came from behind me the first time I had no idea what was going on the second time much sadness was had yeah look at that cuddles only has three bars that so weird that’s very weird actually I seem to recall that cuddles was talking about uh a stone

Cutter uh I mean yeah hold on uh home Warehouse not the tools oh yeah ores wool tools that’s a barrel there we go spare stone cutter why am I flying so fast uh trade Benny oh there’s that one also have one over there I’ll be using that one later I’m sure let’s fly

What is up with that something funny is going on it is chisel deep slate you take Cobble deep slate and then select the first item in the top left oh I’m empty oops okay uh player Vault oh no accept trade H I’m not sure what just transpired there but cool all right

You need more deep slate I can get you some deep slate I can get you all manner of deep slate I can get you deep slate until you pass out back stone cutter was in your hot bar ah cuz I have shulkers and shulkers and shulkers and shulkers of Cobble deep

Slate waiting to go you sure I mean I’m I’m more than happy to supply if you are going to do the the conversion means I don’t have to sit here and do the converting myself reminds me yep yep nothing ons spare all right suit yourself I’m easy

There we go we’re both back up to five bars and I can feel it in the game too cuddles has been having some internet issues lately and it means she can’t always watch the streams and participate in the chats but uh the issues have started very recently it’s almost as if somehow her

Internet has changed but I doubt that although this little phone message might tell me otherwise oh yeah yep she says she’s trying to watch but hopefully today I can use this as a de-stressor and still get some things done which is to say the building but it’s still getting things [Laughter]

Done uh TPA to me or you can wait 10 seconds and I’ll do a TPA here I’ll set you down right there TPA here well I mean I guess I could trade it to you but my inventory well I you know what I can just do this trade

Ben hey you’ve got 12 free slots there you go what I was going to do is I was going to have you stand here and drop a bunch of them on your head but I realized I didn’t need to do that I can just trade it to you there you go

That should be plenty of Cobble deep slate to keep you busy be how uh here how how do I have this much let’s go uh statistics and items and times crafted oh no no times used uh over 660,000 uses of the Chisel deep slate now when

You craft a stack it only counts as crafting once so it’s going to be a lot lower on my list there we go uh I have only crafted it 14,000 times uh for the Chisel deep slate but in order to get that I’ve had to mine a lot I have mined

Over 2 million deep slate heck there’s probably Cobble deep slate even that right there’s over 10,000 and that’s not how you find it naturally so yeah I I have been busy on This Server how I just sit there and mine I take a day and I just put on some music

And pickax go [Laughter] Bur I just realized RGA is streaming I should have a spy in there so that when he goes to end his stream someone can tell him to come raid me that would be fun I can’t really do it I only have so much bandwidth uploading the stream and

Having the uh the the game connection as well as the two chats what about my face I I I don’t know what you’re talking about there there’s no face here all I see is this a very completely empty stream chat from twitch keep going to thank you Pingo yep yep it is

About two fifths of the way done actually it’s a little more than that I’d say we figured out that let’s see here bring up the calculator cuddles has placed something like 785,000 and I have placed 660 let’s call 660,000 even and make that a negative and add

320000 Z and okay yeah we we have Done uh 1.4 million out of 1.7 out of the 3.2 million leaving 1.7 million to go so we’re approaching halfway what is that as a percentage divide by three 45.1 five% thereabouts which considering we don’t work on this all the time I only work on this about one or

Two days a week Max right now and we started on June 30th uh pretty pretty decent progress if I had been working on this every single day well for one thing I’d be probably I would be out of Cobble deep slate for for converting because I didn’t start saving Cobble

Deep slate until I started this project and I also didn’t start really saving the Cobble deep slate until even sometime after that because I would just mindlessly dig and so uh a lot of it just vanished into nothingness so I would probably be spending a some of my days doing Mining and Gathering

Resources and producing more chiseled deep slate Factory style I guess but uh I I I would definitely say that we’d be pretty close to done if not done if we were both on working solely on this project every day but we’re not this is at 17th speed we’re operating at 14% Power I’ll just do all four of these oh did I top off my drink popped off that one well it’s about half and the mug is empty might have to go get some tea later okay now this layer is meant to all look like the heat sinks and I think that’s

Good brain not foggy today brain present get my toes right no my toes right there there we go ah so there’s a an aspect to this PNG tuber plus program that when you’re talking it makes you can have your character Bounce Around round and and wiggle and you can have like your hair

And your hats and everything moves slightly slower than your body and have to catch up and makes you look like you’re wobbling and ah that that’s too much for me I I my PNG tuer is going to largely reflect me and I don’t bounce around a

Lot I mean my legs do for sure right now my left leg is uh tapping out Morse code to everyone living back in the 1800s all at once but the rest of me sits pretty still as a matter of fact that that resting twitch face that’s probably

Pretty close to my face cuz I I just sit around grinning like a fool all the Time unless I think of something funny or I watch something funny but uh yeah for the most part that Avatar down there is going to be how it will end up I’m probably going to be adding maybe a little bit more Pizzaz to it maybe adjust the color a

Little for like the hair maybe a little bit more options I do know that I can add costumes I’m not entirely sure how that works I’m going to have to look into that but I could I could do something festive I could I could make like a Halloween version and uh Christmas

Version and and stuff like that oops oops uh also I am going to be having to slightly restructure how I have my uh my My Scene transitions cuz I thought that changing between the different sources on inside a scene would activate the scene transition but it doesn’t I have to

Actually change the whole scene for it to transition over and that means I’m going to have to readjust my my layout a bit because I in addition to doing the PNG tuber thing I also started working on trying to figure out how to make an animated uh scene transition that uses

My my logo as a sort of a center piece and then rotates around washing out the previous screen for a second and a half and then or or for a second or something like that and then uh a small pause maybe half a second or something like that and

Then it spins around again and reveals the next scene that that’s what I’m trying to accomplish and I’m either going to have to do this this the the hard slow painful way with with percentages of rotation and lines and stuff um and just make 150 PNG files and then compile them

Into an animation like a a a web maker or something I don’t know or I’m going to have to just find some way of doing manual animation like that because ultimately what I need is uh here let me finish this part here and I can demonstrate there so imagine that this line

Here is my my my word that says thorn of KN and imagine I’m I’m doing a scene transition and I have the thorn of Knight show up in the middle of the screen try to get there as best I can that’s good enough and then it’s going to rotate around like

This so I guess about a second something like that I might make it go a little slower so maybe a second and a half and then as it does that through the center line it’s going to go from being transparency to that background gray and then that gray is going to fill

The screen all the way like this and it’s going to wait and then it will ungr the screen back to transparency and then thorn of Knight is going to just vanish that is what I have envisioned for my scene transition and I I know how to make it

One frame at a time but I’m still at the point where if I don’t want to have to start that right now then I I can potentially find some piece of software that will help me automate that process a little bit even if even if it’s just just the foundation of a

Rotating transparency and then I go in and and add thorn of Knight to that that or something like that that would be great uh you have a chest of deep slate uh wait a large chest of chisel deep slate uh why don’t you use the shulkers that I gave you so

That you’re filling up the shulkers cuz having having a chest is great transporting a a chest is less great I mean you’re you’re Redstone rank so you have probably I don’t know pv5 or six or seven or something like that but And you dropped your Phone so several times this morning while I was asleep cuz my my sleep schedule is sort of shifted forward and so I tend to be asleep when a lot of people are getting their day started my my wake up time is about :30 um I got about a half

Dozen spam calls and text messages that were spam and it was just it was so well paced that it kept me up and then there was this lull in calls and I was like okay good I can finally get some rest and then the trash truck

Decided that right in front of my house was the perfect opportunity for it to unjam its its squasher or whatever and it just stayed there for about 45 minutes while I and my wife were just going uh why Noise so that’s another reason why I decided to do this today instead of uh try to code some things for the refugee Regent or or uh hammer more details out for the Skyrim mods and all that because I I I want to have a a a little bit

Clearer head going into those sorts of projects than my lack of sleep would have allowed this this is kind of no-brainer for Me this pattern just exists in my head Now Grant like the other day uh sometimes I can be so exhausted that I I lose track of what’s what layer I’m on but I can pretty much do This without having to focus too much on the Minutia I was almost thinking of firing up seven days to die but with my lack of sleep and having to figure out their their new leveling system I didn’t think that my brain would be compati with that right yet thank you very much Bish whenever you are wanting to trade back just go

Ahead and let me know or let cuddles know I saw cuddles down over there making some some rows up here Everything is Awesome a great philosopher once told me that everything is awesome speaking of building things in Minecraft and and Lego and stuff like that uh did you know that among the very

First pixel art to be done in Minecraft was I think it wasn’t infdev or right at Alpha it was is a pixel art of Mario Mario Mario Jumpman Mario huh oh I’m full or I’m empty what did I oh space there we go the final frontier speaking of space uh I have set

Up the memberships part of my my YouTube that’s done I have the four different tiers figured out they’re they’re you know space traveler themed uh and then I was going to work some on figuring out the the supers today but uh brain not there I might do that after the stream I’ll

Definitely try to get that taken care of this weekend but I want to get that taking care of sooner rather than later so that it isn’t on my list of things that I need to do and I need to make time to do well that’s the sort of thing that I I ought

To be making time for first getting the the things set up so that people can do the supers and the thanks and all those other little things rather have that done at the GetGo uh I have I I don’t know what I’m going to be doing for the stick stickers that go

With it I might just I don’t know I might just use the same uh images that I used for the uh first few emojis uh well that’s something that I could do today after I empty all of my my current reserve of chisel deep SL that I’ve got in my player

Vault I could go down and try to practice making the of Banner for my thorn of KN see see if I can get that figured out because I I manag to get something that that feels pretty close I’m happy with the results happy enough that I made it one of my

Emoji stickers for my channel that’s another thing I need to do is figure out there seems to be multiple ways of doing stickers and things like that and emojis through twitch I I or streamlabs or or something some sort of combination of things gives you multiple options for it

And I need to figure that out most of the things revolve around bits apparently so I can’t really do that until I am able to uh have bits attached to my twitch and that’s going to be another let’s see here I have 17 followers so I need 33 more

Followers and then I can uh commence the I is it partnership or affiliate I forget which I think I think it’s partner first and then affiliate I don’t know if I’m going to be doing work on both I might as well get things hammered out on both I am very happy

That it took way less time than I anticipated once I qualified for getting the memberships over on YouTube it it looked like it was going to take upwards of a month to get everything in order but uh I already I I’ve had my AdSense attached to everything since

2013 and so that was done in a day even though it said may take up to two weeks I was like oh okay goody I’ll just wait but no next day or day after something like that it was done and then it started the review process I was like oh boy I’ve

Got 900 videos and most of them are or most of the time is spent in streams now so that’s hours and hours and hours and hours that was done in a day thereabouts so I was very happy with that but then I found out oh I have to

Do all this busy work before I can activate members memberships and and supers and whatnot so that’s the point where I am I’ve done the memberships started them anyway and then I have the supers to do and I don’t know what that entails yet but once I get to the point where I

Can start doing uh things with bits and things on Twitch I will be able to set up the stickers and the thing for throwing stuff at your screen and and all that throwing poo emojis and stuff make it fun uh I’m wondering if I’m wondering if PNG tuber plus has a crowd control

Option because that would make perfect sense cuz you can have different costumes and then the the crowd control could make the little Avatar have different like big clown noses and absurdly large glasses whatever uh that would be pretty straightforward to do if you could crowd control to PNG

Tuber I wonder if that’s a thing uh crowd control also requires uh to be monetized or whatever they call it through TT for being able to use bits so can’t set that up yet but when I do I’m thinking I might have uh at least one game a week of

Minecraft one game a week of Skyrim and maybe another game just short games like other times during the day where I am just playing to be crowd controlled change my speed and all that kind of stuff through donations I’ll I’ll get all this figured out I think the most important thing for

Me though is to just make sure I don’t get overwhelmed because uh there for a while I was doing a stream a long stream every single day of every single week and I was having a blast and then it all cut up caught up to me all at once

And uh my my brain said enough enough stop slow down so I I must listen to the brain but I do want to make a a bit more of the uh the fun things available for people I mean I named my my Discord Channel remedy for boredom I need to make sure my

Content tries to at least live up to that status watching people build giant monstrosities in Minecraft may not be all that terribly exciting and my subject of conversation may not be all that ah Foos yes all that enthralling but at least I’m having fun believe it or not doing this this is

Heaps of fun for me this is great this is like a brain rinse I hope xblaze ninja is doing okay they have not said anything in chat Last Action they took was to summon a dead joke but who knows maybe right after that they went out to go get some

Logs to the fire and I don’t know a grizzly bear got them who knows and that’s that layer done sweet deal ah all right I think cuddles is down there she is there’s cuddles onward and upward all right now this layer gets these gaps because there’s two holes between the big

Gaps yes good brain paying attention happy brain that’s something I need to actually take care of probably tonight before it starts getting too cold tomorrow is toss some salt on the sidewalk and driveway maybe a little bit out in the street in front of the driveway cuz it’s going to get

Cold and wet as well they took the snow out of the forecast and now it just says rain but then it’s it’s the whole temperature the whole day is below freezing so rain and below freezing tells me ice that tells me we’re not going to get snow we’re going to get a

Layer of sleep and that is so dangerous last time we had a full sleep rain storm with the sudden cold like this is due to be we got like a qu inch of ice on every surface vertical and horizontal on everything and it started weighing down

Some of the older trees and they started bursting like we had a a tree uh about I don’t know 500 ft from my house just explode under the weight of all the water because normally when it rains the water just slowly sheds down and drips off the trees but when it comes down

Wet but the surface is cold enough for it to instantly freeze that water just piles up and piles up and piles up and if you’ve ever carried water you know it is heavy and all that extra weight gets translated all through that what amounts to a thin trunk of a

Tree and if that trunk is not healthy enough to support all that weight it just buckles and when a tree gives up to that much weight the trunk just explodes uh and and it it can actually like if it happens next to your house it

Can rip a hole in your house and then the tree falls thankfully when it fell it didn’t land on anybody’s house it dodged everyone and went for the creek so silver lighting there but yeah I I hope that this is not going to be one of those

Situations but it it is looking like it’s heading that way because back then there was there was uh 4 in of snow in the forecast and four or 5 in something like that and it was going to be going from 30° for a long time to all of a sudden 0° and

Then after some amount of time after that initial forecast they changed it from about four or five inches of snow to just rain but the temperatures stayed the same and that’s exactly what has happened here they it went from snow 4 Ines of snow in the forast it said 3 to

Five and the the sudden cold snap and then now it says no accumulation of snow just rain for two days but it’s below freezing during all of that rain that’s dangerous just a second here there we go the scumbag anxiety part of my brain says why don’t you message that person

Person and see if they’re alive there’s Johnny here’s Johnny you enjoy your fork knife you’ve been playing a whole lot of those uh fortnite mini games where where people are basically making other Standalone games inside of fortnite that sounds pretty interesting that it feels like fortnite’s starting to turn into

Uh okay brain It’s A Team Fortress no it’s uh Team Fortress is built in what what is it brain what is it nope nope brain is is providing me with static noise so I don’t remember but anyway the uh the infrastructure seems to be expanding for fortnite making it so

People are able to use it to make other stuff than just fortnite I think that’s pretty neat I I have nothing against those um musical chairs games I just don’t have the reflexes especially now I used to play uh Counter Strike way back in the day cuz my my

Friend’s dad owned a local redistribution hub for for uh a male server and so they had the isp’s trunk line going straight to their garage and so we would all go over to my friend’s house and we would play uh Counter Strike for hours and hours and

Hours and hours and then because we had no ping uh and because we just got so familiar with the maps uh some of the uh I almost said gang some of the the the teams started taking notice of us and we all got recruited for team pistol

Whip rules for team pistol whip pistols and grenades only you see someone off in the far distance you you have to Pistol snipe them and we got good at hitting pixels How am I flying yeah I’m on uh an SMP and I have a whole lot of ranks and with those ranks come lots of commands including fly but even without that gems uh even without that you can just outright byly with the gems that you can earn for the

Server and the server is mc. performium.net this is one of those multiversion servers where even if you’re playing on version 1.8 you can still join but it is recommended that like for instance if you’re playing on a 120 server you are running on a 120 client and so on but you can join

But like I’ve explained in the past even if I did not have fly I would still probably be doing this project just not nearly this quickly honestly if I didn’t have fly I probably would be just maning this project and I don’t know if I would have expanded onto other stuff

Cuz I’ve also got the the UND City build I’ve got the Lial space build and I’ve got all the stuff back at my base and everything else yeah fortnite it looks colorful and flashy looks fun looks a lot less tedious than some of those other ones where the the community just says oh

Suffering is part of the game suffering shouldn’t be part of the game a lot of those ones are are typically set in like Russia or whatever uh and if you have damage at the end of a session you log in later on some other time you’ve still got all that damage

You’ve not healed any um you have to spend lots and lots of resources just to get yourself fixed up um uh what’s the name of that one game tarov or something like that I think that’s one of those style games still same sort of premise just it takes some of the appeal that

Like ARMA 2 had Daisy and all that and and makes it takes the fun and replaces it with grind but fortnite seems to be focusing on the fun and that’s probably why it has such a huge following because you know it’s fun and I may tease and call it fork

Knife uh the address for the server is mc. performium.net I will hold my screen still long enough for you to see that in the bottom right where that yellow text is over here mc. performium.net I am playing on the wild smpp but uh if you want the more modern

Blocks and cherry trees you’ll probably want to join the candy SMP wild is 1.19 there’s a oh it’s probably still going on but there was there was a large period of time where just game after game after game was following that same template of uh like pubg and The Hunger Games and

Fortnite and all that other stuff those uh elimination games and it started to get I want to say very syy it took an awful lot to stand out in in the crowd of those games and and uh be notable and then for a small interlude Among Us popped in and interrupted the

Flow and then when people went back to those other games fortnite and and pubg and all that they realized oh well I I want to play it for the the fun aspect and this one isn’t fun this one isn’t Fun and so many of them just dropped off

The radar and their fortnite stood at the top or near it anyway because they really they really honestly are trying to make a good experience for as wide an audience as possible they want a kid to have fun with with no reflexes they want

Uh a gamer Pro to have fun they want to have every player possible in the Spectrum to be able to enjoy themselves in the game because why play if you don’t enjoy it and because they focused on the enjoyment fa factors I think that’s what made them as

Successful as they are because they really did they tried to make it enjoyable and not in a pandering kind of way either they they really did do their best to make it fun and good on them good on them uh the best way that you could help

Is uh I could give you some shulkers full of uh Cobble deep slate and you could turn it into chiseled deep slate I could give you a grindstone for that but uh uh let’s see here no new names yet but right now what what I most desperately need is

To not have to spend my time crafting cob or chiseled deep slate but yeah fortnite fortnite has done good for themselves I’m glad because you really don’t hear all that many horror stories of people going oh I just had a real miserable time playing fortnite all the stories of

People walking away from a session of fortnite end up being I had a great time this happened this happened here’s all the story and I only played for an hour but this happened and this happened and yeah they they they’ve done good for themselves uh hold on D and let me ah my

Phone alarm oh no it’s so loud 900 p.m. yes thank you I put the auto feeder for the cat so they should be okay and I topped off their water so so they should be okay there too I hope I haven’t heard them being Rowdy so uh and also Boop and there you

Go have a wall of text that I have prepared in one of my Discord channels I’ve been trying to pinpoint what I like about this particular uh track the song that’s playing right now and it it has slowly dawned on me that it feels like the sort of song that you

Would be playing if after you’ve been playing Sky Block for a while and then you look over all the stuff that you’ve done and you’re on your person and you’re sitting on your giant mushroom and you’re like ah look at what I have accomplished that’s what this song reminds me Of ah okay well let me finish this layer and I will get you some cobbled deep slate to turn into chiseled deep slate here in just a Moment all right and this and then these four here two more uh let’s see here pv2 let’s offload this in here and then click on this make sure I have room for the trade and you probably have two more to do or something like that based on the looks of those

Numbers all right uh that and then this this this this and that would be this layer complete so let me go PB four question mark That’s fine and then go back and then let’s see how you do wait I have one on me in here let’s see how you do with

This I’ll will go well first off Dill why don’t you do it’s called RTP or is it tpr on this one which one was it scroll tpr it is tpr and find yourself somewhere that you would like to set up for a little base make a small

Claim so that you can have a little box to build yourself in and and be safe because uh I mean you could do this out in the wild but if you uh if you get snuck up on by a creeper you’re going to be in for some sadness

I have’t worked on sorting things in a while I should wow I should probably hey look that’s another stone cutter I should probably polish the rest of this stuff off maybe he’ll do that this weekend oh no is this still okay good it’s still good tpr is not working well then

Tpr I will do a tpr for you I can’t tell if it’s day or night because I have daytime always on so I’ll put you on top of a tree here and I’ll go TPA here Dill oh now if you move after you do a tpr before it teleports you it’ll cancel the

Teleport and you have to wait 30 30 Minutes is there not a way up on top of this tree there isn’t wait no there is I could come around over here and get up aha I’m king of the world all right if you have managed to find yourself a place uh accept Then I will TPA to you Hello oh I know right where you are there’s the nerd Pole and shoot that and shoot that and let’s see oh is that that’s a reg that’s that’s the OG Stormtroopers isn’t it let’s see here yeah that’s the OG Stormtrooper I like it nice nice outfit there love

It so let’s go with first stuff fill up my hands and go kit uh what’s a good kit for you uh kit Diamond there you go have a kit FL FL FL and now since this is a at least a good spot to get started yep there’s there’s the glass

Dome why don’t you do uh well first off do this without the slash kit claim shovel that way you can get a gold shovel and then hold it in your hand and do slash claim just any old wear and it will make a claim around you but you have to hold

The gold shovel for it to happen so wherever you want to put a claim hold your gold shovel and do so because otherwise your stuff can go boom and poof yes without the period I do the period so that I can actually put it in chat because

Otherwise it tries to run the command for me and while it is on cool down for me or it is out of cool down for me might as well let you use yours because you never know all right now that you’ve got it in hand all you have to do is

Do that wherever you want to put your claim and it will make an 11 by 11 square around you that no one else can touch you have not yet done it once you do I will set you up with some shulkers and a stone cutter you don’t have enough blocks to claim

Do list claims you should be able to claim instantly and then at the very bottom it should say how many blocks you have left to spend and then that should say at the very least it should say a couple hundred ah there we there we go right no no there’s there’s

That well either way way hopefully nothing terrible will happen if it does it does I will just go ahead and give you these and this and I’ll do this let’s see here uh pb3 is 30 I’ll do this and I’ll go claim and I’ll go trust well first I’ll go

Dill and then slash trust and there you go now it is safe and claimed by default a claim is 11 by 11 so it you should start with 121 claim blocks no matter what but there you go some shulkers full of Cobble deep slate and a stone cutter to turn them into

Chiseled deep slate I’ve given you five to start because never know you might completely vanish off the face of the Earth and pv2 this and that and then pv4 are yes and then I will go set home don’t back oh no home Cube one and while you’re doing

That and thank you by the way thank you a whole lot it really does help it makes it so that I don’t have to spend time while I’m streaming crafting the the things and I can just focus on the building something looked a little funny right here

Uh oh okay it was an optical illusion now this layer I I did finish it all the way before I teleported that’s right yes yes yes good so not this layer but the next one gets torches yeah this is uh it’s a fun little server uh wild is kind of a lower

Population because uh most of the people who were on Wild on the 119 said well I want to move over to the 120 when it comes out but I said but I can’t transfer my builds over to there and this is where my stuff is and I just came here from Duck after

They closed duck because they needed to make way for more servers so I wasn’t ready to move servers again and again so this is my home I I live on the wild SMP on the Wild Side I like it it’s got enough it’s got more than

Enough I can I can do without bamboo boats and Cherry wood planks I I don’t need those yes I don’t get to have sniffers and suspicious gravel but you know what I don’t need snippers and suspicious gravel to build a Manger sponge out of chiseled deep slate I’m happy Everything is Awesome excuse

Me tonight I’m going to try to figure out how to do the the supers for uh the the rest of the setup stage for uh YouTube it seems like the membership setup is done and in place uh apparently I can’t look at my own uh content and see if the membership

Button is working so uh that’s actually something that I would need someone else to check for me but uh I was going to wait until I also had the supers done to ask but as far as I can tell the membership is in place and then I’ll be doing the supers

Tonight and then spending probably the rest of my evening uh working on Refugee to Regent documentation so that I can have the Discord Channel up listing all of the data packs and where to get them as well as links to where existing versions of the challenge are uh since I looked it

Up previously on the way back machine all the information that I did have access to before is just gone so the only versions of the old uh Refugee to Regent challenge are my files that I had from about half a year or so after it was originally uh thought up and then

On the current Wiki if you do a manual search for the word classic it will bring you to all of the classic pages and one thing that’s interesting about the classic is it does have the Redstone Discovery stage but it has it before the gold stage it puts it Redstone then

Gold then glow stone and then lapis and the reason why that changed is because it didn’t make sense to have to put all of the magic stuff after you went to the Nether and instead they moved it to uh before the Nether and then any alchemy that you started once

You did get to the nether uh was just tacked onto the existing colleges and whatever you were building for uh the lapis stage so it’s kind of interesting looking at that information it’s largely the same as what I have in my documents but uh on that note I will also be sharing my

Documents oh by the way every 12 hours the server restarts to clear lag you’ll get sent to HUB and uh then you can wait around here for a few minutes I like to come down here and see on the off chance that I might get some XP from this but I

Won’t today and then Club reward Mystery Box rank reward daily reward and there’s cuddles and let me get a mystery box wish I could trade the mystery boxes because now I have nothing I can redeem hey it’s Starlight Starlight starbrite first 779 I see tonight I wish

I may I wish I might not AFK like this starbrite Starlite has 85 levels and what’s astounding is that’s not enough to make it to the top 10 and dark algorithm they must play on like one block or something I I don’t think I’ve ever met dark algorithm and there they

Are at the top of the chart always always always anyway let’s go back to Wild PV or P time at noon P weather clear okay back to building I go hi ho hi ho oh give me that hey you’re done with all the the uh chiseled deep

Slate are you done as in you’ve returned let me see here I will go H home where house Ro should we good okay home Dill [Laughter] well here you go down in the hole control and Q There you go if you want to keep helping it is greatly appreciated uh-oh oh there we

Go and a carrot for you yeah someone put a little bit of cobblestone there yeah you will find that there is very little sand sand on This Server because uh not a lot of deserts in the 20,000 And1 by 20,000 And1 map so there’s the pillars there’s

The glass stone and this was done by Zan the man Snowman and I don’t know why that’s like that I thought there was a way in to to go look but it’s just a little Treehouse xand man has built some interesting things on the server this over here is also

Xans I don’t know if this was built by xan I think it was or if they just overclaimed it because it went unclaimed sponge pineapple Bob’s house yes don’t dead open inside there we go back to building I haven’t checked to see is my mouth still going ba ba ba yes it

Is earlier today I had the the PNG tuber program running and it just went not responding after being up for a few hours so I was concerned that it had happened again come to think of it I should probably move this over just enough to be able to see I could shrink this

Down and then do that and there we go ba ba ba okay lips go Flappy yeah with my Refugee to region challenge I have pretty much gotten everything hammered out I do need to refine the the minimum requirements for each growth stage of an a noble Elders

Estate cuz it’s going to be similar to but not quite the same as the player estate uh and also make the specialized refinement for the uh the The Godfather the boss Mr Big or no Godfather Mr Big Boss and then slum Lords uh I need to refine their estate rules

Um I think I’m going to make it to that the slum Lords no matter what must live in the same city or out lier as their slums but I think I’m going to say just blanket statement that any other nobility can live in any outlier if they choose

To because you know they have horses they can travel whenever they want they don’t have to be tied down to a specific location they could have a summer home whatever but I I want the slum Lords to be tied to the same uh town or whatever where their slums are but beyond

That I’m I’m going to say it’s going to be simpler to play it fast and loose with the locations uh also I have decided on a sort of scaling method for the the different difficulties uh with regards to adding Nobles um the Barons are going to be based on uh housing

Population but the counts mares and Dukes or countesses oh baronesses countesses mares and uh uh D duchesses however you want to do that it’s easier for me to say the fewer syllables so I’ll say the fewer syllables the barrons are going to be tied to population housing population

But and some of them are going to end up being landlords but the the other three the counts the mares and the Dukes they are going to be um kind of based on stage and difficulty I want after you start getting nobility I want to include the the growth for one of each

Minimum but uh I I have the inclination to make some of them require more per stage so if I am doing hardcore it would be three counts two mares and then one Duke added per stage but if I’m doing uh fast track easyish mode then it will be

Just one count one Marquee and one Duke per stage and so I have realized that there are several other aspects because of that that I need to account for for difficulty and uh that’s some of my note taking I’m going to be I guess doing some back of the napkin

Math uh on the the stats for the different stages and how how growth ought to be happening how many outliers you need to add per stage if depending on the difficulty you want to be playing on cuz I I have realized that while I’m probably going to have no problem with

Doing uh 10,000 population Nation for my Refugee to Regent uh because I’ll be doing this for the next several years probably uh or at least two years I would I would think based on 10,000 um not everyone has the stomach for that or should they uh so I’m going to make my

Program and a a refined rule set as well to be able to account for scaled difficulty and then if someone is doing The Challenge on let’s say setting 10 they they want to start off hardcore mode and and do all the things and they get to a point they realize oh

No what have I done I’m going to also make it so that the progam program allows for a mid point restructure so you can say um from here from this point forward please recalculate for I don’t know difficulty one or difficulty three or seven or something I don’t know I’m going to make

It a a scaled difficulty so that the code can use those numbers to uh apply either built-in or or just uh representative settings so like for instance if if it gets to a loop that says all right now we’re figuring out population we need to have uh five hello Emma five

Of this per stage on Hardcore and then on Fast Track just one per stage then what that could be is it could say uh on setting 10 and n it counts as five and and then setting 8 and seven it counts as four and uh that that’s that’s a simple

Equation but when it comes to things that involve like uh the room requirements and things like that and luxury requirements I’m just going to go ahead and fill all four of this in or all eight uh that is going to just have to look up on a

Table uh item by item so I’m going to have to do a little bit of both both for when I write the script for that but that’s not going to be too big of an ordeal but I want it to be as accessible as possible so that people can just open

The page or open the program and go all right I want to do this challenge generate an outline for me to do poop and there they go they’ve got a spreadsheet they can open in Excel and Bob’s your uncle but before I do that I do have to

Make sure I have all the finer details in place for uh all the different contingencies for rules um I’m going to have to make sure I remove anything that’s specific to my uh unique run that’s going to involve the data packs and stuff but I do need to make sure to account for

Um any uh any mods data packs and plugins that people might be using so I I need to leave little annotations everywhere throughout sing uh during during this stage if you have mods um that are Technology based for instance this is the stage when you get to start

Using tier one Tech mods and then this one tier two and a lot of it is up to the the player I mean honestly the whole challenge is up to the player PV four five I’ll do five I’ll put this in in here and I’ll go home warehouse and I’ll get some

More this is this is outstanding I’ll do this and I will get a chest or two home d there we go and boop boop and yes that’s backwards there you go a whole chest full of Cobble deep slate and all I found a mystery box what’s in it dust what what has

Happened that’s eight ah and nine there we go for for a fast way in might I suggest doing something like this just having a block like out here so you can just go like that it’s like parkour your way up and then jump in just a suggestion it’s so fun seeing just a

Random boat somewhere what’s more interesting is when you see the random boats on top of trees way out in the middle of nowhere cuz you know what’s happened everyone knows what happened but when there there’s a fun mystery along with it did I seriously just manage to find my

Way all the way through back to air wow home Cube one I should probably set a home up there where I’m working Left off over here okay I know what I can do set home Cube top oh wait no no no no no set home CBE Cube l d home well There there we go ever since I was a kid I used L A as shorthand for where I left off at even outside of computers like I’d leave sticky notes I left off sorting my baseball cards at at this point or I left off organizing buckets

Of Legos on this one and I I would just Loa everywhere lots of lows uh also on the Skyrim thing uh I I don’t know if it was because I was streaming it may have been but when I went back to my characters that did the alternate start live another life

Uh vampire lord beginning uh they they actually worked I didn’t have to do anything special I it just they did their little transformation it didn’t take 5 Seconds to to do and I had my spells however I do have to stay in third person and in order to get it to actually work

I have to go like uh scroll back and then scroll forward otherwise my head is invisible all right well thank you very much do uh I guess whenever you leave let me know and I’ll just come and grab what there is no obligation but but thank you give me that give me that

Here thank you okay uh also with the uh Skyrim stuff I wait that went invisible does that mean that that is the top of a a vertical chunk hold on must find out F3 plus G it is that’s the top of a vertical chunk and it went

Invisible because that was the first new Block in that vertical Chunk in this rendered area that’s what’s going on if a chunk has not had something change in it for a while the First new blocks in that chunk whether vertical or horizontal we’ll go invisible until you zoom in or reload

The area visually or whatever that’s what’s going on it’s because it says oh wait uh this chunk yeah uh okay now now we’re caught up you saw it right there it went invisible for just a split second or maybe you didn’t see it but I saw it for

Sure anyway um on the Skyrim stuff I am going to have to research on the winter sun site as well as some of the other uh mods to see if there’s any other details that I can add to the randomizer so I can make a reasonable

Character cuz as fun as it would be to to try to suffer with a a terribly hobbled character I would like there to be at least some some semblance because if I roll that I am going to be I don’t know worshiping uh sendar but I also roll that my primary magic is

Conjuration then that really puts a hamper in things not as much as if I didn’t have uh imperious or whatever it’s called called the the uh is it imperious or ordinator no imperious is the races ordinator is the the perk trees um ordinator does allow for a little bit

More flexibility with each of the schools of magic and and other skill trees but um they they are still rather limited I can for instance have a a purely restoration build character that does massive amounts of spell damage because of the whole uh purify thing but there are some aspects of it that

Are going to be difficult to overcome come so I am I’m going to make sure that I have little sanity checks inside my code to go okay well you’re going to be doing this but you can’t have this DD if you are this racer whatever cuz like I said uh when I was

Doing my last Skyrim stream I don’t know if for instance uh a Breton can follow riddle thar I’m I’m not sure I don’t know if an orc can worship the hist maybe they can I’m I’m not sure so I’m going to have to for all the different options I’m going to have to

Make sure that I do a few little sanity checks um uh like for instance if I’m worshiping perite I can’t justifiably allow myself to go full Vampire full werewolf because then I am no longer able to get other diseases and I think once you oh that’s actually a good question though once

You become a vampire it removes all of your diseases same thing with werewolf but I I think that’s how it works but it may not I’m thinking about it now I’m wondering if you can go catch rock joint and everything else and then become a werewolf if you

Get to be a werewolf with rock joint that’s a good question but either way if you’re a follower of perite it’s going to be impossible to Pokemon all the diseases if uh if you’re immune to diseases so there like for instance if I’m going to be a vampire I can’t really

Worship Perot if I’m going to be werewolf can’t really worship Perot but depending on how it works I’m for some of that I may be able to story tell my way out of a hole but I would like for there to be at least some minimal sanity

Checks so that’s the rest of the paperwork that I need to be doing for the Skyrim stuff everything else is pretty much in place I am assimilating the list of mods I do need to continue testing with the experience mod because I think that it is interfering with the signature

Equipment meaning that I am not leveling my gear so I’m going to have to play around with a a character long enough with the experience mod installed and see if I need to take it out because the mod’s working just fine otherwise it’s actually pretty neat uh

Leveling is a little interesting I will say that now I am definitely leveling much higher than my skills which is proving to be uh challenging but not impossible and it does offset the whole uh you can you can power level your way up to godhood notime aspect so that is

Nice it’s got a built-in uh stopper for that but if I don’t get to have my equipment become comfortable to me over time I would rather have the equipment than the experience so I’m going to have to test that out but everything else is pretty much done almost ready to just compile

The whole list put it up on my Discord and then uh prepare the announcement video and then I I should be able to very soon start the series and I have thought about uh four the first few characters actually just going with the randomization but just in case I

Get tremendously good luck with my character development I don’t want to get stuck on a character that I’m not enjoying so so the I I have decided uh instead of doing the random for the first one or two I’m going to have the first two characters be ones that I’ve already planned

Out for sure and then once those break if they break they probably will at that point I will uh transition over to new characters but I am at the point pretty much where it’s time for me to set up the announcement video for the sequence or the the sequence this the Skyrim

Series and uh I honestly can’t wait because the sooner I can get started on that the less brain space I need for uh all these other little side projects and I can start working on my writing again in because I didn’t get anything published last year I’m aware of that uh

I I’m painfully aware of that and I had lots of plans on getting at least Amber done and ready but then all that stuff happened at the very end of the year and I just got swept away and uh I want to have these big projects like the Skyrim

Series and the uh Refugee to Regent series just in place so I can mindlessly go all right it’s Wednesday time for Refugee to Regent or or whatever and I don’t have to think about what I’m going to be doing before or after the stream it’s just all right eat

My food a thank you very much dill pickle your your help is supremely appreciated but um the excuse me the uh the fact that all I would have to do is just you know get up for the day get ready do some of my my writing and editing then do my

Stream and then get right back to writing and editing again that that time that gets freed up for me to not have to be working on all these busy work projects that I’ve assigned myself for right now will enable me to be able to get some of the things published that I want

To get published because if I do have a New Year’s resolution that isn’t a a funny haha Year’s resolution it is I want to at least get one more book published this next year if not to because when it comes down to it it’s nice to be able to say yeah I’ve

Got a YouTube channel with a thousand videos on it and a couple thousand subscribers and all that kind of stuff and and I’ve got these Minecraft projects and things like that it is nice to be able to say that but when it comes down to it I

Have I have enough material that I I will be writing until my 80s just to clear my head of all the stuff that I’ve got already started and I want that stuff published and I’m sure that there are quite a few people who are going oh

Boy I can’t wait to read the next thing cuz I’ve got the two books out but but wait there’s more Emma if you’re still over there on uh twitch you you were there with me while I was uh putting together uh a pretty sizable scene from my story making space just the other

Day you don’t think I’ll ever have a clear head yeah nether do why that’s the problem no actually that’s not a problem that that’s a that’s actually a good thing all right grab a drink here ah so uh Emma how do you like the little ba of my uh PNG

Tuber what oh I’m empty on that maybe oh before I forget uh Home D and then chiseled deep slate is down here and then cob is there I’ll leave this claim as is so that they can come back and do more if they want uh next time they’re on but um Home Auto mod what it said that the word put P UT is flagged for misogyny what automod what put okay oh uh where’s where where’s my cursor home where house I I put the tags technology yeah I put the tags on the the YouTube video but I

Don’t I’m still getting the hang of twitch so I don’t know where the tags go for twitch that would be appreciated put some of this overflow here oh oh D I filled the double chest with no I didn’t didn’t do it there either oh that reminds me kit daily kit

Monthly 15 days kit weekly uh PB three BL BL BL PV two home Cube low you just got five stard dust nice so is that from like the random chest or whatever wait this is the one that gets those oh no this is the one that just gets outright the full thing yeah

Yeah now I’m still figuring out how to get all the the Stardust and all that hammered out I was under the impression that I couldn’t start doing the Stardust stuff until I was already doing the bit things so clearly there’s something I’m not understanding so well bye

Rip uh so I’m going to have to look more into what all that entails so bear with me when it comes to that any insights would be appreciated I can’t see what you’re seeing on your end so uh information helps I think that the Stardust stuff comes from uh stream

Elements I I’m going to have to look basically I went H and started uh looking into everything that I could to to try to add some games and and activities and stuff uh cuz cuz I’m not going to be you know like putting on clown glasses and

Whatnot unless I can figure out how to do that with the uh with the PNG tuber plus thing but I having things like what RGA does and all that kind of stuff it’s it’s not really really feasible for for me and my my play style and everything

So uh what I want to do is is give people you know activities dice rolling and and throwing rotten fruit at my screen and putting stickers everywhere and stuff like that and and maybe if I can figure out how to do it some sort of little like a an incremental game

You know how like we have on on the Discord you can play mine cord or whatever uh and and do the digging and and all that kind of stuff every day uh I want to have things like that for my stream chat to be able to

Do and so I started looking into all the different options I had and some of them said okay well you need bits I was so okay they those need bits and then the other things uh I added them and some of them don’t seem to show up as

Panels they they just exist like stream elements if I’m understanding it correctly doesn’t get its own little panel at the bottom of my streams it’s it just it’s a thing and I think it stream elements is where I have the Stardust I’m going to have to look that back

Up yeah the scratchers and the pick a card and all that kind of stuff yeah and that’s actually why I included that is because you know I wanted people to have things to do ah [Applause] aha give you two torches now well everything’s going to get the

Regular torches but then the ones that line up with these big squares in both directions those get the extra set so I’ll do all of these the first set for everything and hello Tom fery and also Plex I did not see you join chat Plex it may have been at the same time

As when I got the notification from Tom fery but hello to both how are you love the name Tom fery I am I am a wash with Tom fery and shenanigans Even excuse me well welcome greetings fellow space Traveler all right that’s that and now I go in and do these the light keeps the monsters away the light keeps the monsters away the light keeps the monsters away and then Sully comes through a door no you’re not a monster you’re a magical

Beasty how you doing down here by the way oh wow look at that okay so this layer is the one that goes like that and because it is oh that was a good neck pop because it is the layer that is at the bottom of this vertical chunk I’m

Going to have several instances of vanished blocks that will be appearing after some amount of time but then once I get all these blocks in place at the bottom of this chunk like that that will happen a lot until I’m done with this layer and then once I get done

With that trunk I can fix this by zooming in uh it won’t be for another 16 more layers that I have to worry about lots of Vanishing blocks again what is my favorite song h let’s see here that’s that’s honestly a good question cuz I have different favorites in different kinds of

Music like oh that’s I need to turn here uh um I have some favorites in classical music I have favorites in uh or orchestral symphonic music which doesn’t necessarily mean classical I have favorites in old days I have favorites in uh just every kind of music under the sun I have favorites

That I enjoy singing and I have favorites that I don’t know the words to but I like listening to uh so when it comes down to what is my all-time favorite song I don’t know if I can qualify anyone as an answer it it would depend on my mood at the time of

Answering uh I enjoy large orchestral symphonic grandiose music um and interestingly enough a lot of my uh favorites Library includes uh even death metal that has that aspect to it like there’s there’s an awful lot of orchestral death music death death metal music um so that is honestly a really difficult question to

Answer recently I have been enjoying singing um many of the songs from a Bruce Dickinson’s chemical wedding day album uh several of the songs from typo negatives October Rust I have been enjoying the heck out of some Billy Joel music longest time uh Uptown

Girl uh what is the name of that uh just the way you are that’s a fun one to sing uh my music tastes are honestly all over the place uh I I was very ecstatic to have a a John Williams piece go through my playlist not too long ago um during

My 20s one of my favorite albums was uh Mortal Combat soundtrack uh there’s some stuff on there that still holds up pretty well for me mortal combat is how I discovered Fear Factory and uh I think gravity kills I’m pretty sure they also introduced me to

Seura yeah my tastes are just like all over the Place hello that is definitely a long beard that I have it’s it’s I tried to make it you can’t see the bottom of the beard but I tried to make it to scale the same as mine generally wh oh there goes I’m bumping the mouse that’s we when I’m wearing some of

My outfits and and some of the the decorative hatbands and stuff and like for instance uh my my green trench coat uh I have had people call me Santa out in public cuz here’s here’s this uh middle-aged guy walking around with a little bit of

Gray in the beard but uh a vest and a top hat and uh tie and everything looking like greens and reds for for Christmas time and uh I I I I did not think that I would appreciate being called Santa but here we are uh have I heard the song you recommended to

Me um you will need to remind me was it is it something that you posted on the Discord what what oh why is that empty oh the Torches that’s right I feel like it was probably a Discord one let’s see here I do not see where it was I would have

To do a little bit more extra snooping around to figure that out oh also thank you Emma my thing about the twitch it does it still has my old avatar on it I will have to repost that it is very weird now to be looking over at my other

Monitor and seeing a little version of my head just sitting there on the screen what’s even weirder is even though I’m not watching it I know that it’s over there blinking at me that’s something that I I wanted to mess around with I I like the the head on because that’s

That’s easier for me to draw but I see a lot of PNG tubers have like their character off to the side somewhat like like looking in towards the middle of the screen or something like that and I don’t know if I can accomplish that but it feels like subconsciously that would

Be a little easier on the eyes because this way it this just me looking straight at the camera and that feels because people don’t do it on movies and stuff and everything it feels weird just even for me looking over there that straight on gaze but if instead I make it so that

The uh my my eyes are pointed in towards the game in towards everything and then when I talk I I turn my eyes to face the camera that feels like that might be a little bit better way of doing it so I’m I have a number of things that

I want to try to experiment with on this PNG tuber thing but I have this sometimes bad habit of once I get a wild hair I have to pursue a project until I’m good at it at least moderately enough to be able to yep there’s some invisible at least

Moderately enough to be able to be competent and so I I just sat there yesterday and went I’m going to become a PNG tuber and here we are CU I feel like it’s a lot easier for me to do a PNG tuber than a vtuber cuz it seems like much of the vtuber

Stuff uh still relies on the uh uh webcam or whatever to capture the actions and whatnot of the person that is being portrayed by the Avatar whereas this this just simply picks up on sound and says if sounds then flap lips but I also I am going to be

Refining the picture no matter what but I just wanted to get something up there this this is honestly this is my avatar from uh way back in the day that has been very heavily modified like yeah it’s you can tell it’s the same dude but it is so drastically

Changed uh and for good reason uh that I’m going to have to fiddle with it some more to make it more fitting because this this is in the tiny corner there you can not really tell how awfully Pixy it is but this is this is rough this image is pretty darn rough

And and that’s because it’s gone through years and years of switching back and forth between pgs and jpegs and and bit maps and everything else as I would use it from one piece of software to the next and instead of keeping the original I just said I’m going to update

My image to meet this new profile requirement and it requires BMP instead of jpg and so I would have to switch back and forth and back and forth so the result is a very grainy fuzzy picture and I I need to refine it long and short

Of that but I am very happy with the way I got it to turn out at least thus far and and even with it being pretty grainy it’s still it looks okay I’m happy with it not everyone has the ability ability to swap skills between different kinds

Of tasks that rapidly so I I recognize that even being mediocre at this is still okay but I feel that I have room for improvement this is this is the rough rough draft PNG tuber oh that’s the end of that direction okay the default for this is something that

Looks uh rather Goofy and it it is used to demonstrate some of the other functionality of the PNG tuber plus because it makes it so your little dude bounces around and and has more animations and you can attach the hair differently and the beard differently and and all that so that when they

Bounce around there’s like gravity shifting stuff and you have more movement and all that kind of stuff but except for my hands I’m I’m not really all that animated of a person anyway and so it is hard for me to Envision my avatar being animated when I’m not

I mean my brain is one big cartoon don’t get me wrong but if you were to see me gaming or working on a project in person you’d look at my face and go are they dead inside make them fly around in a space ship that would be interesting give give

Him like a little cockpit area I could do something like that I could use that as one of the costumes I could figure out this costume business cuz I think that the way costumes work is uh you set something to be costume one and then whatever is set as costume one is

Applied to your base character so I could have one costume be me in a space suit wearing the helmet I had could have another costume being me uh inside the the cockpit of a spaceship I could have another costume of maybe me Minecraf toying this Avatar but I don’t care what happens I’m

Staying with my Indiana Jones avatar for Minecraft I’ve had this since like 2012 or whatever 12 or 14 whenever it was that I got it I had it forever this this is my outfit I have since I got it I found an exact copy that has the the

Hatband around it as the extra 3D layer thing but beyond that it has been unchanged I added the hatband I’m Indiana Jones This layer by the way shouldn’t produce any of those invisible blocks Anymore because I think I’ve well maybe maybe when I get outside of those margin chunks it’ll start again but at least for where I am presently there shouldn’t be any Vanishing Blocks let’s see here F3 and G yeah maybe once I get to here they’ll start having the little disappearing act again but that’s going to be a While I have to remember that even though my wrist doesn’t have to be in a brace all the time uh I have to make sure it doesn’t lock up ah I made some reasonable progress today and I’m only three hours in I I started with that bottom layer so it’s one two three

Four five I’ve done seven I’m on eight I might be able to get 10 layers tonight cuz I’ve had little interludes for one project I do want to uh try my hardest to get finished this weekend is I have a at least 1 hour if I can make it Loop

Cool if I have to do it just a 10hour video manually then I’ll do a 10-hour video manually I want to have a a video recorded from one of my builds that has uh sort of a a relaxing vibe to it and then I’m going to be adding some

Sounds and some music tracks to to make it something that I can have as a a calming video that that I can play of my own on on speaker while I’m trying to sleep cuz I have several videos that I play from different YouTubers that satisfy that

Need but the way I look at it is well I’m a YouTuber and I I can make something like that that’s not impossible so I want to get something up on my Channel that I want to just play I know it doesn’t help my watch time with me watching my stuff

But it it’s nice to be able to go ah I made something that I like to use oh went over um by the way speaking of RG rating um or as as it happens not rating I’m going to try try to get my time organized such that I can start streaming partway

Through rga’s stream and see if I can catch a raid I will be working probably more on this manger sponge so that I can have some sort of mindless project because I don’t want to have to be going back and forth to the uh the lordon world and uh have to keep eyeballing

Stuff and paying attention elsewhere I want it to be something that I can just go all right he’s dead let’s go get gems and now back to building and then okay he’s dead again let’s go get gems and now back to building and then when he he’s finally done

Streaming uh I want to be working on a project you know on here so that I could potentially catch a raid from him cuz in the past he did say something uh in response to someone asking something else he said that he did wish that it was possible to raid to

YouTube and not just twitch and all all the time since and I’ve been thinking well it’s a shame that I don’t stream on Twitch it’s a shame that I can’t do multi streaming because of the the whole twitch thing and now here I am back back on Twitch and

I’m multistreaming and so it no longer needs to be a shame I can I can try to do things to capture a raid from RGA because you know a lot of his audience most of it if not all of it plays here on performium and most of the people that he

Raids spend almost no time whatsoever on performium anymore and when they when they are streaming they’re they they’re doing something like uh left for dead or what’s this new big game that everyone uh lethal company that’s it um I I don’t think that I have it within me to play lethal company anyway

Um I I believe that it would be nice for RGA to be able to go hey I can raid someone who’s actually on my server because I know that he enjoys seeing people liking his server you can see it in his face when when people tell the little stories about

How they they are so glad that they found a server and all that kind of stuff and that’s empty that’s that’s the opposite of what I need anyway that up there there we go long and short of it is I want to try to be awake and

Streaming to be able to capture a rage from RGA during his uh Saturday streams it’ll be a little early for me getting up but I think as long as I’m doing something like this I can be awake Enough by the time he is done streaming to not

Only be a vial option for capturing a raid but also to to be in the middle of doing something worthy of being called a project that that he can come look at and even go over here maybe in person God forbid uh CU when he takes interest in someone’s build uh the

Surprises that’s the one thing I dread I get a raid from him I don’t want to Garner his trolling attention and yes I know that this started as a trolling server ultimately but still doesn’t mean I have to like trolling what got me started on performium by the way was uh it had

Nothing to do with the trolling it was the first one on the list that came up when I did a search for servers with uh Sky Block and servers with MC MMO and that was in 2016 at the end of 2016 very near the end of

It and I got my my Sky Block Island started and and started doing stuff and then come February of 2017 I started streaming on here or not streaming uh doing videos I should say and that was uh that was the start of my experience with performium 2016 2017 and

Thankfully none of the staff really did trolling to the people on the sky block server I got really lucky I picked Sky Block and there wasn’t a lot of trolling and and so I was able to just do my own stuff very happy about that yeah longest time taken solving the maze yep

Yep some people say he’s still trying to solve it stream might be breaking how do you mean well I mean your Island still wasn’t a full-on trolled Island I mean your Island was kind of accidentally trolled oops oops oh that’s something I need to make sure of by the way um I

Accidentally let all of my steam downloads finish the other day and so I don’t have a possible download I’m going to have to either uninstall something and redownload it or find something else new I want to download cuz what I have been doing in order to prevent Steam from

Trying to eat up all my bandwidth by downloading something while I’m streaming is I get a download started and then I click pause and it stays paused until I manually tell it otherwise or restart my computer and this makes it so it is safe and I don’t have to worry

About all of my bit rate going through the floor but I realized the other day at in the luckiest tab ever I I alt tabbed over to look at something else and saw that a steam download had just started so I hopped in paused the download and I think none were the wiser

But if I don’t pause my steam downloads it can do some fantastically awful things to my uh frame rates now I don’t know if that’s what was happening to you just then what is a minger fractal a minger fractal Liam is if you take a a cube of

Something and then you go in from all six sides and remove the middle what you are left with is 20 smaller pieces of cube and then if you take those new shapes and do that again each one of those smaller pieces of cube then becomes the next smaller iteration and

So on and so forth until you have a shape that approaches having and I won’t say infinite but arbitrarily large surface area but low volume of space and if I go down I think here I can show off over here so this is a single Cube now I’ve

Used the Chisel deep slate because it looks like it’s got a hole in all six sides so I’m pretending it’s an even smaller manger sponge but if you take 20 of those you get this shape right here this is a tier one manger sponge that’s tier zero that’s tier one then if

You take 20 of these you can build this this is a tier 2 manger sponge and this is a lot better way of showing off the hole goes through all six sides and here in the very middle and if I were small enough I could do the same thing this

But all six sides here and here there’s a hole in the bottom all four sides there and the top and also where my head is so you start with 27 you remove the middle seven and then you’re left with 20 and then you use that to make the

Next size up and then use this to make the next size up and so on and so forth I am building here a 3.2 million block tier five manger sponge and it is 243 all the way over to that side by 243 by 243 up and down or it will be once I’m

Done now in the grand scheme of things what is it it’s recre recreational mathematics I I’m I’m a bit of a math dork and I’ve always enjoyed fractals and fractal geometry physical visual representations of insanely silly math uh but there are some aspects of fractals that come into play

With understanding certain aspects of population uh of uh physical interaction with with gravities and things like that the manger sponge not so much this is almost strictly recreational but there there are some fractals that actually have decent enough application in Real World stuff but while the manger sponge

Doesn’t have any application to Real World stuff that’s useful in solving big problems like uh fuel economy or Transportation efficiency or population densities and things like that what the manger sponge does have going for it is it is easy to describe and explain how to make it a two-dimensional version by the way

Is called Ser pinsky’s carpet and what that is is you take a shape you take out the middle square and then you’re left with eight more shapes and you take out the middle square of each of those and you’re left with eight smaller shapes you take out

The middle square of those and you’re left with eight smaller shapes and so on and so forth ad nauseum it’s really easy to demonstrate it’s really easy to describe and as long as you sit still long enough the math isn’t all that bad but uh I think ultimately the best function of

The manger sponge is accessibility for understanding and demonstration but for me for the purposes of Minecraft the other best attribute of it is it’s made of cubes and Minecraft is cubes and my brain said ooh I like fractals and ooh I like Minecraft so let’s let’s merry car the two together

And just make this uh Mega build and it is monolithic it in in every sense of the word it is monolithic did I I did it is made out of chisel deep slate exclusively well except for the lighting but I don’t count that and so it is monolithic one stone to rule them

All and I will probably never go out of my way to use chisel deep slate for anything ever again in my entire life after I’m done with this project because 3.2 to million blocks is a lot in short a Meer sponge is physical math extreme math Now I don’t know why my stream would have been hiccupy uh but as you can see I keep going between five bars on the top left I keep going between five bars and three bars so I’m going to guess that that has something to do with

It I where if my printer has an update that it’s downloading in the background or something that’s that’s frustrating when that happens actually let’s see here network activity D network activity 3 megabits a second so yeah obs Java a little bit of Firefox and that’s probably for the uh dis the twitch

Chat streamlabs OBS Firefox ah I see there are little instances of a vast popping up and I can’t stop that yeah yep that’s what it is it’s got to be a vest ah silly antivirus all right so this next layer is this here I did hear that mat pad is

Retiring but met pet has a great crew yep yeah that’s that’s a weird lag come on I timed out hooray refresh refresh again okay so I know it’s not my internet this is actually the second time I’ve timed out from the server today once was just before I started the Stream

Oh you also timed out esta no bueno so when I was having that little pre- timeout hang there was that in any way also affecting my bit rate was my stream going through choppy at that time or was the stream fine while I was timing out oh you’re

Good I seem to be back at five bars though so that’s something okay yeah mat Pat is stepping down and good for him he’s had a good long run and uh now he can focus on doing other aspects of not only the the theorist stuff but also

You know he’s married he’s got a kid he’s got a life he’s he’s uh doing okay for himself he deserves to be able to you know enjoy some of his life and not have to be change to uh well I need to worry about the next video I’m making and all

That kind of stuff cuz I can tell you that’s not fun when when you have to spend all of your time worrying about what you’re going to do for your next video or how you’re going to make the next thumbnail or whatever it’s partly why so many content creators don’t do all the

Stuff themselves they they do content creation and then they have someone else edits it for them they have someone else who makes their thumbnails and let’s just say I wish I had those kind of first world problems CU that means I could actually have some reasonable income going on here

Largely I’m doing all this stuff so that I have a little bit of something to buffer the fact that uh I am I am focusing on writing and this is kind of stepped in between me and my writing not entirely but a lot and I figure by having something

Like this I can potentially get a little bit of a a reprieve yeah Everything feels smooth right now wonder if it was just the server connection to to some Network Services not all because Stone Tootsie didn’t seem like there were any problems with their connection

I mean they drop down to four all the time but they didn’t seem to get kicked and I think this other name Toki whatever uh I think that they also managed to stay on however it did say I think 240 4 players when I rejoined or maybe it said 344 but still

It’s not a whole lot however I don’t know if that’s just the number that it was or if it’s the result of there being a little bit of a dump but I do know there was a a reasonable size timeout right right before I started my stream and people were still coming Back oh let me get this off my screen there we go Oh that’s all right Yeah I’m going to have to figure out how to sideways my avatar a little bit really cuz that is a little bit uncanny Are you kidding I’ve seen your progress from from today from up here I can tell your progress you’ve done a lot and you’re doing that big old row goes all the way out of range for me whereas I’m just doing the square you’re doing a whole freaking row I can tell your progress For now I would like to know on the subject of of additions to my stream I would like to know what RGA uses to mod his voice if it’s something I’ve got to pay for well that’s right out but if he’s got something where he can on the Fly

Mod his voice with all those different voices that he does has B something I can use I want to know about it that’s another thing on my list voice modifications so anyone have any interesting plans for the weekend and that’s interesting plans hanging out with friends good

Times I do know that tomorrow oh boy I need to refresh my my memory on that time Uh tomorrow scrolly scrolly 11:30 a.m. so in 12 hours I have to uh be up because the wife is going to the dentist for Okay Next layer this is the heat syn layer so high up that all I can see is the void all that exists is the void the clouds the manger sponge and the line of smoke I think there’s some smoke over here yeah hello braxon Rivera your only plan is yeah

Monday Monday’s going to be cold up here for me too uh we’re we’re talking a high single digits it’s going to be fun fun fun do I have a Discord I do have a Discord it is linked in the description all you have to do

Is pick a roll when you get there you live in Iowa I hear Iowa’s got a bit of a cold front going through it too I’m in the St Louis area so we’ve got all that River effect weather that also happens where where I am but the the fronts are largely driving

Everything and so we’ve got this cold snap starting this weekend and I’m not looking forward to it I don’t I don’t want to have to go shopping in single digit weather but honestly it’s probably better to uh do it in singled digit weather than to just let the car sit the entire

Time oh I need to make sure to get some heat in the gas tank tonight tonight or tomorrow yeah yikes h e t heat you put that as a fuel additive in your gas tank it acts as fuel line antifreeze do not put actual antifreeze in your gas your car will be

Destroyed heat yes antifreeze no it won’t let you from the description it’s remedy for boredom thorn of thorn of knights remedy for boredom is the name of the Discord and I wonder why it’s not letting go from the description you’re the second person who has said that

Uh it is important when you’re putting a canister of uh heat into your uh tank that you do it and then put some gas in afterward because if you just put it in there like you’re just parked and you just put it in there it it may not have the ability

To mix thoroughly through the rest of your gas tank and the the way it works is it needs to be diffused as as evenly as possible through it ideally a full tank of gas but obviously it can work with less gas in fact it probably Works a little

Better with less gas but it’s designed for a full like 15 gallon tank of gas and it just it helps prevent your little tiny thin gas line from freezing unless you have almost no gas whatsoever your gas is not going to freeze inside the tank that’s something

You don’t have to worry about really but once it gets into that little tiny line that goes from the tank to your engine that strips all the heat that might have been left and it turns your gas into basically jelly and a little bit of heat goes a long

Way I I swear by heat there’s two things that I make sure to treat all my cars with all all the time whenever I can heat when it’s cold and when I get to do my own oil changes rather than having to make sure it gets taken in for warranty oil

Changes uh I use Royal Purple oil it’s a little bit pricier but man the difference Royal Purple is one of the best motor Royals I’ve ever encountered and what you’re getting with that little bit extra per quart in money um is a whole lot of Peace of Mind thank you schlag 56 for

Subscribing I appreciate the sub welcome to the family welcome to the crew welcome to this journey as we cling to this little greasy bowl of mud and stone and water as our planet drifts through space we travel along with it we are space Travelers Elvis is trying to

Join they don’t understand the pick a roll aha hey hello Elvis I I did make it so that for sure anyone who freshly joins they they get pinged in general and they I made sure that General is visible it took a little bit of jiggling around to do they get with instructions

To make sure they that a rooll gets picked but hi welcome Elvis if that’s you uh who uh Braxton I guess let’s see here and possibly also schlag lots of names what is that oh that’s the observation deck for that for uh Darth chickens pixel art

Ah so Braxton this is your your first encounter what do you think of my rough draft for my PNG tuber down in the bottom left flapping his little lips at you oops I think I need to make him stare more towards the game and not make constant eye contact with the

Audience what do you think I tossed that together last night in uh a fevered session before I went to bed cuz I told myself I’m going to figure out this PNG tuber thing and so I went to paint and fiddled with an image until I made something that has a semblance of my avatar definitely needs a little

Work but I think it’s a good solid rough draft I’m happy with it little creepy on the staring though Ju Just a just a smidge the more I think about it the more I realize yeah I should make oververt his eyes when he when he’s not Talking honestly the the one that comes with the PNG tuber plus is rather funny um here let me finish this row here I actually do want to bring that up just so you can see what it is D doop there we go so the way they have it uh P

Tuber now you get to see all the little menus and things let’s do this let’s load an avatar default Avatar open so this is It put that here like so come back out over here and then click off the screen blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah the eyes shiting towards the middle but it’s so large of a shift that it bothered me so I wanted to leave my eyes just static but I

Wanted to keep the blinking but they also had this other little thing where I bounce around when I talk it goes blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and there’s this is all this little bounce and I don’t know if you can tell but I also I’m kind of just drifting through

Space or something like that you can also see that my hat moves slightly separate my my hair things like that so I I wanted to make it more my own so I oops so I went with this guy here do that exit back out of that turn

Off the bounce the bounce is kind of comical but I I don’t like it there we go do this turn the bounce Force back off and back to Minecraft it feels more alive with the bounce I’ll give it a go let’s here let me add the bounce just a little bit a

Little bit of Bounce Force is that enough bounce there we go that’s a little bit more bounce and I guess if I’m going to be doing some bounce I do need to do this move this down just a little bit and then save oh there we go And exit out of that little bit of Bounce okay cool we’ll test the bounce More Alive less stiff a little bit of Bounce okay so what I’m thinking is I’m going to make my hat a little bit looser and then also I’m going to make

My beard kind of flappy when I talk and all that do I know Alpine one I don’t know who Alpine one is what would they be on Minecraft would they be on some other platform I I don’t recognize the name this feels better as a viewer okay thank you I will

Definitely keep the animation I liked the stiff because it I’m not all that animated while I am streaming because I’m leaned in and focus fed on the game so I I I built my avatar to reflect sort of me as you do but you are the people who have to

Deal with my avatar so if you say a little bit of Bounce is good then I’m going to do a little bit of Bounce architecture um Alpine one they have wait a minute are they the one that runs a server where they like build Recreations of of uh famous architecture

And it’s just on a server uh and like uh there’s one that I watched if if it is the same one they they built this one house that was based on I forgot whose place it was it it was someone who was famous and involved with the Underground Railroad and they

Included all the tunnel networks that were found after the fact from their their building and so what they did is they they built their house but they also built the from the blueprints all the uh tunnel networks underneath and then after they were done they uh went through and explored everything in first

Person if that’s the same one I’m thinking of probably har Tubman yeah so I need to do this I I have watched a number of uh Minecraft Builders and architecture Builders I I I sort of tried to understand a little bit of well everything I can get my little

Brain in but but when it comes to Minecraft I I am trying to uh incorporate in some of my stuff architecture that that represents stuff in the real world I try to make things reasonably scaled but with Minecraft that in order to make things look right

You have to make things a little bit larger than life so I try to incorporate things that are smaller scale but still um representative of normal like like human Earth structures obviously this is not one of those things this is this is just building because it’s here this is this is monolithic

Uh math at its finest this is just for the sheer pleasure and joy of being a math dork who also Minecrafts white Berg City oh no my brain just said it’s been a long time since you’ve had White Castle so now I want some sliders with cheese some chicken

Rings and a chocolate shake and I haven’t craved any of this for so long I didn’t do the inner okay I’ll do the inner all one go I I haven’t thought about White Castle for so long Honestly though if I’m going to get a shake it’s going to be from Steak and Shake

Or Arby’s Arby’s is good too I would say I want a shake from McDonald’s but we know how that’ll go I seem to recall that Arby’s stopped carrying one of my favorite shakes I think they will probably always have the jamoka shake I think that that’s just a staple of Arby’s but

My brain is telling me that I have a recollection of learning that they stopped carrying their mint shake that was one of my favorite shakes ever because Arby’s was one of the only places where you could get mint shakes at any time of the year not just during St Patrick’s

Yeah same cuddles I I my my scumbag brain’s going milkshake oops usually what I do when my brain says milkshake is I just you know get a thing of ice cream it’s four times the ice cream for the same price oh shamrock shake oh my God they’re so

Good and and they they taste so good so therefore something must be really wrong with them but I won’t one so bad I never did get a Grimm Shake I have been told that they are very ordinary oh no around around here uh Arby’s had mint all year

Round I would I would get a mint shake and a jamoka shake any time of year and then after the plague I went back to the Arby’s and they said no we don’t carry mint anymore much cry very sad what I ended up doing I think I got a chocolate chip

Shake or or something like that and then I just added uh some uh some drops of mint flavoring at home and just mixed it to death and it turned out okayish and then oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that was the time okay so I also found

Out after I had done that that in our baking Goods we had an unopened bag of Andy’s mints that I was unaware of just sitting on the shelf in the kitchen I could have added Andy’s men to my homemade mint shake so sad yeah looks like I’m getting ice cream this weekend

Uh I don’t even think I need to add it to my list I think it’s a permanent resident in my brain cookie butter flavored ice Cream what is cookie butter that sounds amazing where did you get this this extravagant sounding Lush gout inducing snack oh in case you’re wondering uh braxon I I’m I don’t have a means to merge my two chats I’m being talked to from both YouTube and twitch and anyone who’s watching that’s

Watching on one uh I would appreciate if you liked or or followed or subscribed or whatever to the other I’m trying to keep growing I think honestly cuddles I think that was also the last time I had a shake I think I had a shake because you had a shake or or vice

Versa why thank you for the Subscribe oh yeah that’s right you you I believe are slag All right it is still before midnight for me I’m going to get in at least one or two more layers especially because this coming up these are going to be some of the lowest block number layers for this scale of this tier of the build

And if I can get two more layers in then that means that for this whole tier four that I’m doing I will be halfway ah we’re in the same time zone oh yeah you’re Iowa that’s right how low is it supposed to get up for you uh up

There uh this weekend for me it’s supposed to get down to zero it was going to be -4 but when I saw some some numbers I thought thought I saw3 in the area of of Iowa for for like Saturday or or Sunday or something like that -3 if if my memory

Serves might have been Wisconsin you’re in a blitz liard warning oh oh good uh make sure you’ve got you know food and drink and warm toes and don’t drive if you don’t have to we were scheduled to get I say scheduled but uh we we were due to get

Uh between three and 5 Ines of snow uh tomorrow but then they lowered the temperature a little bit and turned it all to rain the high is supposed to still be below freezing but it’s rain so that tells me that I’m going to have to deal with a

Quarter inch of ice on every surface of everything in the world once it starts I am not looking forward to that kind of weather and and we have to go out to the dentist tomorrow I will definitely do the driving she is from Texas and while she has been here for enough

Time to acclimate a little bit to snow conditions uh you never forget how terrible it is to actually drive in bad ice conditions especially if you’ve been been passenger to someone who almost wrecked their car cough cough my sister uh it it gives you a different perspective on

Driving when when you have consistent bad weather every year oh call ahead make sure they’re still open uh they should be they should still be open because uh here’s the thing the uh the weather the the actual precipitation isn’t due to come through until uh later in the afternoon anyway

So it’s just going to be in the 20s and cloudy it shouldn’t start actually spitting rain until uh after the appointment is over I think we’re good there which is part of the reason why we’ve also planned to get a little bit of preliminary shopping done you know just in case would hate

For us to get uh stuck in the neighborhood and not have some supplies that we ought to have I am keeping my eye on it though I’m keeping a weather eye on it uh no but seriously I I don’t like bad weather and anything I can do to not have to

Interact with bad weather is is a step well taken and I’m just glad that even though we didn’t know the weather when we made the dentist appointment sometime last year um I’m I’m glad it’s lined up so that it’ll be done before it starts precipitating as far as the weather

Chart excuse me it seems to indicate getting all choked up here oh there we go I’ll take a drink 10 Ines in one day that’s for for you 10 in is probably just nor noral whatever but 10 in in one day e even if

You’re used to it is is a lot but for what if it’s a blizzard condition that’s probably like 10 in in an hour and a half or less and that’s also scary wait what am I doing this is this stage I jumped the gun three freaking storms back to back

To back you’re getting slammed I feel so bad for you three storms are Brewing but yeah the first snow the the first inclement weather during cold whether it’s snow sleep freezing rain whatever uh that that’s usually the worst of the season and that’s because in areas that don’t always have really

Bad weather all the time when it’s cold people get complacent when it gets warm and they forget that for a few months of the year instead of you know like half of the year like it is in some places for just a few months of the year it gets a

Little a little tough to drive sometimes but that first good storm around here here I I do not want to be on the road at all when it starts because that’s when everyone re discovers that they don’t remember how to drive in snow and I no matter how good I might be at

Driving I don’t trust them and I one year I had to go out for something like there’s there was no opt I had to go out for something and so I I am driving extra super careful and I get to the curve and I am I am just driving oh

So cautiously and I don’t slam on the brakes or anything I don’t turn aggressively but I I guess I hit one little piece of magic snow and the slowest slide you’ve ever seen in your life I’m just I I I could have probably gotten out walked in front of my car and braced

It to make it stop sliding that’s how slow it was going and I almost was tempted to because there was someone going the other way who watched it start they said uh hold on I’ll I I have to go up that way I’ll come back with the uh toe cable and get

You out of there and and we we just sat there he he sat around and waited for me to finish gliding and it was like I wedged perfectly into what was effectively a parking spot and between a couple of like small trees or whatever and just this slow motion slide to a

Dead stop no injuries no no nothing wrong but there’s literally nothing I could do safely and wisely to avoid it and and he just said that it was it was the most hilarious and remarkable thing oh I I suppose I should probably well if they ask H they did ask uh

Discord come down over here to the FAQ there we go oh do I like Elvis um the appropriate answer if someone asks if you like Elvis is to say oh I was actually singing uh uh an Elvis song Yesterday and it is everything in my power not to

Break out into singing when I think about songs that I know I do not want to do that on my streams or videos because I do not want strikes on either of my channels so what I have to do is bite my tongue and not sing and then after I’m

Done streaming you can ask cuddles you can ask Emma after I’m done streaming if if I’m in voice on Discord and I I get a wild hair oh I’m going to break into song it’s like that Meme where the the the kids in school sweating and his veins

Popping out his forehead in the school desk that’s me waiting to finish the stream so that I can start singing again That’s that layer done and it’s only just now just now midnight buub Buba hello Zachariah thank you for the follow that puts me one follow closer to being able to do bits on Twitch you now have snow and sleep for Monday if you’re weather changed oh if

Yours says it’s got sleep not rain uhoh uhoh uh I don’t have any further information it does up precipitation e it’s moved forward in the day oh no but now there’s less of it w what but now Saturday is going back down in temperature again what okay this weather is

Wild all right I’m going to do one more layer and then I figure that should put me about close to about five hours is that should be good enough I have done a lot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 this will be the 14th layer today

Ah okay well thank you branchy I feel like I’m way too hi there we go one thing about Discord that I have recently discovered is if you are listening to Spotify which I just recently like two weeks ago go join Spotify but if you’re listening to

Spotify and you enter a voice chat in Discord then it knows you’re listening to Spotify and it gives other people an opportunity to listen along but only if they have the premium Version however that doesn’t stop them from searching what you’re listening for and listening to their own version of it on their own free Spotify but I I have learned that because I have like a whole Bevy of ad blockers uh Spotify on the PC no ads in

The app oh yeah I’ve I’ve had ads that locked up my computer and I have a beast of a machine machine ads that lock up your computer that’s not good that means it’s doing stuff that’s not supposed to and un unless that that is never

Going to happen I cannot trust ads so I will be listening to Spotify through the browser please and thank you but because of that I don’t get to listen to what other people are listening to by just clicking the button however where this is all going is if anyone who

Is watching and listening who joins my Discord this is a lot of ifs there’s a lot of if coming off of this one but if all that happens and I’m in voice and I’m listening to Spotify uh don’t be surprised if I have a very extravagant and all over the place listening

Experience be prepared for just all manner of stuff no no naughty things I mean the worst thing is death metal but that’s not naughty that’s just you know rebellious but no this this is I have everything from Death Metal to uh weird out to classical music to Billy

Joel to I I have actually I have some elus in my playlist uh soundtracks from movies I have uh just all manner of stuff from all different kinds of genres except interestingly enough no hiphop rap and no um no country music not because any of those are intrinsically bad it’s just

Because I I have too many other things that I prefer to listen to way back in the day I used to listen to country music mostly because that’s all there was on the radio yes but I I did listen to it actively on the radio all right getting down to

It only a few more rings I think this is the most the most number of layers I’ve done in a single session on a single stream session I should Say I guess uh an example of of what I listen to is uh I I actively pick the stuff that you hear going on in the background so this nice little guitar solo you heard that solo is the reason why I picked this uh song wait there we go now granted the the

Free content creator music that that you get with being a content creator on YouTube is a little bit limited to what you can have because not everyone has has uh an interest in putting their stuff up on it but there there are there’s some good stuff I wouldn’t call them bangers but

There’s some good stuff in there there’s one that just it just screams Minecraft vibes I had to include that one I don’t even think that one’s played no it has to have played today it’s been over 4 hours I mean random chance means it it

Might not have but I it’s got to have played okay the next layer will be the layer for torches and it will be another one of these stages here there we go 14 layers done today not too shabby I’m halfway done with the fifth full tier four and then after these are

Done I’ll be putting the top layer of one here one here in the air and one here above this one to finish off the front and the saddest part about this is the Performing server has it set up so that you can only see four chunks away

From wherever you are so if you’re on the road you don’t even know that’s back there but that’s there and it is my objective to get here hold my hobo spot here and then have a smaller manger sponge right here to lead people back this way because I have a nice little observation

Deck for people to hang out on but also I do still intend once I’m done with all this I intend on making a walkway all through here now it may not be all full of glass we’ll see but I do plan on making a walkway so people can explore the

Place and get to different locations but the sad thing is if you are a smack dab in the middle you don’t get to see the whole thing you can see a lot of it right here is the middle of the entire thing and so you can see how much this direction almost all

The way out same thing over there almost all the way out almost all the way and almost all the way over there almost all the way to the bottom and it’ll be almost all the way to the top so you’ll be able to see almost all of it from the

Dead center and so for sure blw on the mic sorry for sure I’m going to be putting an observation deck right here but I also will be having you know this sort of a um I might do a maze but it’s going to be some sort of a walkway thing for

People to be able to explore uh I won’t people to get a feel for this not only the size of it but also the intention of it I have been told by people that actually get to step into the middle of these things i’ I’ve

Made them in the past they say being in the middle of one is surprisingly meditative so I I think that would be neat to have a little spot here where people can just you know stare at the math I like it and what’s not to like but

Anyway I’m going to get back over here on my little platform because it’s time for me to wrap things up who man that w wow oh my goodness that that made me clinch I said something one time I was all the way up there and I

Had just finished work and I I came down here to I don’t know if it was to end a video it was either to end a video or to show someone something or to teleport someone here whatever but I I flew over I came down and I just let it drop and I

Said wow that’s enough time to regret things and they said that that cracked them up I’m glad I could make them laugh but man that made me clinch wow that was a long drop that’s only 2/3 of the way my goodness so anyway let me see here uh let’s

Go clear that go into this mode here there we go that’s a good one and I will actually I need to get a screenshot of my head anyway let’s it’s F2 there we go screenshot of my head that way I can have an another em an emoji

Sticker for when I get that unlocked for the fifth sticker for my YouTube but anyway I am going to go ahead and get things wrapped up here thank you ever so very much for spending time and hanging out I enjoyed the company I enjoyed being able to do the build for

You I enjoyed meeting all of you new faces and I hope to see you all again I stream every week at least 4 4 days a week uh I will begin streaming more regularly on weekends once I get my other stuff hammered out but um it is

Probable that I will not be streaming tomorrow Friday uh because I’ve got to do the dentist appointment stuff I’ve got to uh go uh do a little bit of pre cold snap shopping and stuff like that so I’m probably not going to have a stream in me for tomorrow but maybe

Saturday we’ll see maybe Saturday or Sunday but uh for sure it’ll be just as usual Monday through Thursday 7:30 p.m. to 9 or to to midnight every Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday and then some streams happen on the weekends um if you like this content I I

Have a lot more planned for my channel not only just here on performium uh but also so I am making a series based on different kinds of Concepts that I’m building in Minecraft Skyrim and some other video games and I I have a lot planned for the future so definitely do

Be on the lookout for that if you have any questions comments or suggestions go message me over on the Discord links down in the description or you can message my YouTube video when this comes out on YouTube VOD or whatever it’s called um I if

You I I almost forgot to turn my mouse let me hold on I wanted to there we go let’s include Cuddles in here she’s helping with everything anyway uh if you like my video do give it a like I appreciate it and it does help and if you haven’t already do please subscribe

If you’re on YouTube or follow on Twitch or do both I just starting starting to grow on Twitch I I’ve just started my channel I think I’ve got 18 followers now maybe 19 uh and and my most immediate hurdle I want to get past is 50 so anything that

You can do to help me get there I would greatly appreciate it uh but uh because ringing the bell and all that kind of stuff doesn’t always work for YouTube I also have announcements on my Discord that let people know when I’m streaming uh I’ve been told to make it say when

I’m streaming on YouTube and on Twitch but if I’m streaming on YouTube I am also streaming on Twitch usually except I do plan on having once I start getting YouTube members I plan on having uh member only streams on YouTube over the weekends that are are just for

Members only so that’s that’s something in the future but it’s not implemented yet cuz I have no members I just got that signed signed up and and everything ready to to go and it’s it’s there for if I do get a member uh let’s see here what else I

Also if you would like to help support my channel in ways other than liking commenting subscribing sharing my channel hey I watch this guy who does extraordinarily unnecessarily large projects on YouTube or on on uh Minecraft on on his YouTube then uh uh if you want to help in more

Substantial ways than that I have linked to my streamlabs down below you can do a tip that tip will help go to making it so that I can continue multi streaming again in 2025 if you look in the top uh right of the screen you can see I’ve got

A little progress bar there if that gets filled up I get to multistream again next year too uh that’s my break even Point well multistream Dinobot for Discord and a couple other small things but uh that’s what that progress bar is for that’s my break even Point uh if

You’d like to help with that great if instead of tipping you want to do something more ongoing I have my patreon link down below and several tiers to that I need to hammer out the details on what what the different tiers are but there there’s definitely some continuity

Between them I for sure at the uh $10 tier if anyone is supporting at that level when I publish a book you get a free signed copy of it if you wish uh and and I do plan on having at least one new book next year uh I was

Planning on having one uh by the end of this last year but then everything piled on and happened all at once in the last couple of months and I didn’t allow myself the time but I do plan on pushing for another book next year and I have a couple other books already published

Links to those are also in the description uh and I think that actually does cover everything now so thank you once again ever so very much for hanging out and watching uh I I greatly appreciate it thank you cuddles back there she is one of the people who

Is she’s a warden look at she’s turned into a warden don’t make any sound oh no she noticed anyway uh uh I am going to go ahead and let you go like I said thank you very much for watching and spending time it really does mean a lot to me

This has been thorn of night working on oh I need to bring that back up actually all over here on the bottom right of the or middle bottom right mc. performium.net I’ve been on the wild smpp you can see that over here in green text this is where I’m building this project

And you can freely join this public Minecraft server if you wish there’s a lot of good folks on here but anyway this has been thorn of Knight back behind me there’s one of the other good folks there’s little cuddles and I will talk to you later now let’s
