tents get errcted at the kok river every year in memory of baron sukumvit

[@daveducont2587]

Ah-ha! Mic Waistcoat origin story. Incidentally, When Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU) got knighted, he forged his own sword out of meteorite. He went out and dug up 81kg of Iron ore from a local field, smelted it himself using a makeshift kiln built out of clay and hay and threw in "several pieces of meteorites - thunderbolt iron, you see - highly magical, you've got to chuck that stuff in whether you believe in it or not." It was then shaped into a sword by a local blacksmith. That's real knight energy right there.

When the River Kok meets the C, the valley is flooded by seamen...

Here in Australia the dude who was the Forklift operator at coca-cola on the Line 1 line; which did can multi size, jim beam, Monster and mother energy drinks. He would start his week with jabbing himself with speed, then drink 6 - 8 cans of Monster/Mother and drink 8 - 10 cans of coke every shift day or night (12hr shifts). He would stay awake 5 days in a row and the sweat and the stink you could not go 20 feet near him. I one time said to him 'Knuckles (he had like 2 or 3 fingers per hand), you are gonna die'. He would go 'nahhh when I have a heart attack I'll stop'. He lasted 2 and a half years then had that heart attack yet still survived. He was really on another level. He was also in his 50's at the time! I have a lot of stories working there (I was a team leader on the main canning line), the drug and alcohol abuse was unreal. A lot of blood sweat and tears go into those cans of Monster... literally.

Ooooh - I got this book (literal paperback book) back when I was a child, must be 40+ years ago now. It left a mark, I was completely engulfed. In a time when home computers just started to exist, I grew up with a love of text adventures and computers.

[@timbothegreat7767]

I love these videos - they are great for long car journeys.

[@LeeDanielWriter]

I want Limmy to do one of these and spend the entire stream in character as Falconhoof

[@allgomesareevil6121]

1 year too late, but I like Josh showing me how to play a book

[@oliverbaunach4395]

Valheim did procedural generation very well. I cannot think of another example, though.

[@KingLich451]

shame the developers are just... vanished.

[@evrfreez]

Daggerfall is a great example of a game where the procedural generation starts out fascinating and then turns sour. Sure, there's literally a continent's worth of stuff to explore and see, and there's joy for a while in just going where you want and seeing what's there, but it will end up repeating itself. Which isn't to say it's a bad game. And neither is Starfield. They're sandboxes, not theme parks. You go in to make your own fun. And they both DO have a curated storyline you can follow (several, in Starfield's case). If you just follow the curated content, they're much shorter games. But if all you want is to hop in and go wherever and do whatever, then yeah, you can spend a lot of time.

[@KingLich451]

it's a fine basis for a game. A good reason to have mod support and let the players do whatever they wish.

[@DmGray]

Christopher Lee release a heavy metal concept album called Charlemagne... you know, after his ancestor. The emperor of the Holy Roman empire. They could tell me ANY story about the man and I wouldn't even question it.

[@Cmplx_M]

I fucking love you, Josh. Also Christopher Lee’s album was surprisingly good for a novelty metal release

[@janilohtander5808]

where do i buy a plane ticket to river Kok, asking for a friend.

[@jamesevarts3]

anymore tagent tavern or session 0?

[@scragar]

RE: Limitations making a good game, look at the very old consoles, the NES can only draw 4 sprites on a line, but if you chat and swap the sprites on alternating lines drawn to the screen you can draw 8 slightly fuzzy sprites instead. The original Gameboy only had 32k of addressable memory, how do you get bigger games? Have multiple banks of ROM on your game and use the ability to send the cart data to swap the banks on the cartridge. Space invaders took a set time per sprite, meaning the game was slower the more enemies you added to a screen. It's now a feature that the game speeds up as you kill the aliens to make it harder. Old games were made of this kind of thing as much as anything else.

[@conorsampson2470]

4:32 I need him to do nightmare creatures because for years my brother convinced me that it didn't exist and I had imagined it!!!

[@Metazolid]

Where Part 2 I can never tell if Josh is actually calling quits on a playtrough or is just doing a bit

[@majestyc0359]

He quit. Ended the stream.

[@rikm2745]

1:52:30 In the netherlands we have a store called sheep & lemon.... fuck knows why haha rich people stuff too, jewelery and such i think (dont know for sure, too working class for it)

[@PeterPanbe]

These are the best

[@patrickedger2448]

Never tried one of these Adventure books, but this has me considering... As far as the musk thing goes...rich people believing they somehow have superiority over others have a hard lesson to learn.

[@Themuffinwind]

I only know about the Fighting Fantasy series, because somebody recreated the entire deathtrap dungeon into a Morrowind mod.

[@darrenyoung4974]

Josh from the 1st book Warlock, if I recall ref the chest 111/111/99 were the three keys needed. From playing as a teenager & I think one was in boathouse, one cyclops (his eye did something to the Warlock as well) Anyway looking forward to this one now & I know it was also hard to complete. You make the adventure more interesting👋

[@TheCheeseMovesSideways]

There's a lot more keys too but those two is the most optimal ones

[@1neinate0]

Your 9 days ago death trap video brought me to this game book (the fmv with the bad guy from hancock) on steam thanks 🙏 now you’ve uploaded this very cool thanks

[@MickeyValentineLondon]

Josh..... just eat chocolate pizza in your uniform and read books at us... its all we need ❤️🌍

[@iainmulholland2025]

"elongated muskrat" 😆

[@heatrayzvideo3007]

I need the book versions so I can cheat

[@densetsuno6487]

Broadsoad!

[@scragar]

Fallout 4 promised infinite quests and endless gameplay. The gameplay gets stale after 5 hours, the procedural quests are horrible, and the sacrifices to make the game work for procedural gameplay just makes everything less fun. I wound up just going back to New Vegas, it's less polished, but the choices are meaningful, the story well written, and the characters feel amazing to interact with. It's like night and day, no wonder FO76 doubled down on the mistakes(remove all NPCs and make everything procedural and random to try and get people to pay for DLC to fix fundamental flaws in the gameplay loop). They realised good games are less profitable than bad games that promise to be good if you just invest enough of your life to make the sunken cost convince you it was compelling.

[@ItsmeInternetStranger]

Man who absolutely loves MMOs talks about how he doesn't like games that have endless repetitive content that goes on for hundreds of hours.

[@TogaToga2000]

48:20 just fyi as a teen, Musk was bullied brutally and actually had a serious head injury from a beating. I know you said he *feels* like someone who’s never been punched in the face. You’re not wrong, but interesting he turned out like that considering his history.

[@TheCheeseMovesSideways]

Some people stay the way they are regardless of their upbringings. Elon is one of them and i understand why, he's way too stubborn to change

[@MW-cx3sb]

15:06 there is nothing worse really than putting yourself down racially. How can you respect somebody that has no respect for who they are? I really wish I didn't hear that utter dribble of pure ignorance that proceeded after it...
