Studies show incoherent RAGE and SC incompetence is linked | Salt Mines #53

[@loraxak]

You know PiG the further away from the minerals the more probes can mine without saturating meaning you can build more probes on less bases. It's just science.

[@PiGstarcraft]

Ahhh there was a method to the names after all

[@alfonshasel1995]

I Wonder why Not even florencio hast realized this 😂

[@diazalex5314]

My brain feels smoother now

[@adrenalinekick]

PiG, Chuck E Cheese is a kid's arcade & pizza place that used to have animatronics on stage, it definitely inspired the Five Nights at Freddies franchise. Needless to say, don't go to one unless you have kids of your own or else you'll just get weird looks from parents.

[@LanNetwork]

dude I was laughing when I was imagining Pig walking into Chuck E Cheese alone and being like "can I see a menu please?"

[@lolusuck386]

Also don't go there because it sucks lol

[@pierrefley5000]

His full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese.

[@canadianreserve]

Fuck parents like that anyway. Go if you like.

[@chrisc7265]

I was thinking, you could probably get away with it if you say like, "yeah I'm the guy who wears the rat suit... taking break... grabbing a slice...."

[@ledrash6079]

Thank you PiG for making me having something to watch during my dinner!

[@ZerglingLover]

making you have? PiG what are you doing to this man? he didnt deserve it!

[@LunLunBall]

I check salt mines play list almost everyday, and when it gets updated i spend the rest of the day waiting for the video to become public 😂😂😂

[@PiGstarcraft]

LOL

[@maximk9964]

I'm a Silver Terran and I recently won against Gold Zerg, who said something like "That's why Terrans get nerfed!" Even though I didn't use any units affected by the balance patch. But I love meta commentary, especially in low leagues, because clearly in Silver/Gold we play such optimal games with no mistakes, that it all comes down to "balance" between factions!

[@PiGstarcraft]

100% only winning cos of balance haha

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

Specifically in gold/silver/plat the small things matter most, which is ease of use for units and QoL things for races. In gold/silver/plat, i'd guess around 5-10% of protoss lose to a 12pool (or even just a normal build) just because they cannot wall properly or forget the unit in the wall. T does not have that problem with depots, which is a plus for them. In silver/gold/plat, storm is a giant, almost unbeatable problem for T though, so that's QoL for protoss on that level. T does have stim though and if toss ever has no splash, they will just notice time and time again how hilariously bad gateway units are vs. stimmed bio. So i feel there is a lot of things balance-wise in silver/gold/plat, but they're not the things that are ever adjusted in patches.

[@big_shrimpin]

It's basically because commentators have become pretty toxic on the balance/race discussion, so the lower ladder players are just reflecting that which they see

[@jacqueslalonde6370]

​@@asdfasdf-mn8iu in plat I win 90% ZvP on 12 pool.

[@CFlandre]

American here. Ever play Five Nights at Freddie's? That's kind of what Chuck E. Cheese is: a childrens entertainment place/arcade, which has an animatronic stage show with the titular character and his friends.They do also serve terrible pizza! EDIT: Corrected name, my brain did an autocorrect when I typed in the name initially.

[@jasonharter4876]

*Five Nights at Freddies*

[@stankobarabata2406]

As a man living on the Balkans, the only piece of Chuck E. Cheese lore I know is that cursed pic of animatronics (or possibly a guy in a really weird looking rat suit) with some kids, and it looks like something straight out of FNAF or some Horror movie/creepypasta the protag finds after everything has gone terribly wrong.

[@calvyoel1515]

"Even a fool can appear wise when he learns to hold his tongue." That's what you're trying to to say hah. Yes it's a proverb

[@Fanofcake8989]

Chuck E Cheese is a kids pizza restaurant. They have a lot of arcade and carnival type games targeted at young kids. The food is not that good, but my son had fun and they serve beer. So, I reccomend.

[@aaronbrucker966]

chucky cheese is a pizza place for kids to have fun and play. Acade games and prizes plus a ball pit tube maze usually, as well as animatronic robot mouse and freinds singing happy birthday. and in no way a "fast food" joint, since the pizza usually takes forever to get to the table. Its like a Dave and Busters but for kids.

[@ChannelMath]

Chuck E Cheese was where I first played arcade games as a kid in the 80s We just got Five Guys. I walked into it, looked t the menu and said, confused, "I thought this was a pizza place". The whole place died laughing

[@ZC.Andrew]

PiG's laugh when he sees ridiculous stuff being said is amazing. :)

[@Boiling_Seas]

In primary school, we had a large tree like that, wonderful hiding spot to play in as a kid. Unfortunately they pruned off too many branches so it no longer works.

[@sirkojac]

I worked at Chucky Cheese in the 90's and it was glorious. Basically its a pizza parlor/arcade with a rat mascot and it ruled (except cleaning the ball pit). Food was good but once they started serving alcohol it was all downhill.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

Watching Scarlett play mass hyrra at pro level is great and all, but the salt mines is truly my favorite SC2 series.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

2 base, bad wall, 2 starport, 2 BC, no scout teleport and no plan B? This ain't plat, this gotta be gold.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Not breathing used to be a problem for me when playing Windranger, also partly because teenage me had a crush on her before I even knew what waifus where. This days shes still a very stressful hero to play but since I can breath cos Ive told myself to chill I can play her very well.

[@ToTheNines87368]

I love how you can see the guy tilting in real time in the first game. Making mistakes and not focusing on the moment to moment. Guy was probably on a losing streak, or perhaps I’m just projecting my own experience onto him. lol

[@indnwkybrd]

23:22 "It's so basic" - yes, it is! Its normal pH is between 7.2 and 8.0 according to the WHO.

[@Hephera]

26:45 I doubt the teenagers were leaving their bongs there too. bongs aren't usually single use. sounds like a story that grew in the telling :P

[@gneruinseruihnutshnu]

Big brain idea. Plugin to SC2, that responds to trashtalk with chatgpt, so you can keep focused on the game while the bot handles trashtalking for you

[@mdspartan167]

Chucky cheese isn't really a fast food restaurant. It is a arcade like place, think they have some none arcade stuff but mainly arcade from what I remember. Their best is prob their pizza, but this was from when I went like a decade and a half ago lol. I personally loves Canes if you're looking for places to try. The chicken is meh, but the sauce makes it solid.

[@Loalrikowki]

Red's name might be a play on the word "furor", which is similar to a disturbance, uproar, or ruckus.

[@itranscendencei7964]

Glad to see the old reply viewer back. :D

[@DrummerJacob]

Love the content man. Thanks as always.

[@Boilerguydave]

Next time you go to Chuck E. Cheese, try some of the reused cheese pizza from some other kids party. Just ask the waiter!

[@PiGstarcraft]

LOL

[@kodysullivan7582]

You need a Culver's butterburger if you ever come to the Midwest dawg ! Cheers from Wisconsin🌄

[@calebrobinson6406]

Chuck E. Cheese is the place you take your kid for their birthday. Its got pizza and arcade style games that give you tickets

[@indnwkybrd]

Heh... you're not wrong about In-N-Out Burger. It's not bad. I, too, was a little underwhelmed when I tried it, after all the build-up it got from my Cali friends. (And yes, they told me how to order from the "secret menu"). I feel like the In-N-Out hype train is bc In-N-Out is a regional California thing. They're pretty proud of it. Cali in general is pretty hyped on Cali - and to be fair, it's a pretty cool place. But if we're being real... it's kinda like when you get good grades/have musical talent/are great at a sport, and your mom is like, "omg my child's literally gonna cure cancer/be a CEO/be a superstar/etc.!" When in reality, it's not wrong that you're objectively quite smart/creative/athletic - just maybe not quiiiite at that stratospheric level that Mom would have people believe. In other parts of the U.S. we have different regional fast food chains. If you go to those places, then the people there will likewise tell you that it's the best thing ever etc. Five Guys, meanwhile, is nationwide. And if something's nationwide in the U.S., we don't hype it up as much, bc we kinda just tend to assume by default that it's worldwide, so you prolly already know about it. After all: why _wouldn't_ it be everywhere, when America is the bestest and most amazing country ever across all of history and space and time - which we know, because our mom said so. ;)

[@PiGstarcraft]

100% just overhyped so it didn't meet the expectation. I bet next time I try it I really enjoy it since I won't be expecting so much

[@R1po]

I need to drink something. That was a lot of delicious salt.

[@jeremymalinoff3822]

bruh simpsons arcade game at chuck e cheese was peak childhood

[@itranscendencei7964]

Best thing to get at Chucky Cheese is a recommendation on where to go eat. Its terrible. XD

[@FloridaManYT]

Chuck E cheese is the inspiration for 5 nights at Freddy's.

[@pop9095]

You often get what you pay for. "Worth" is purely subjective, five guys is worth for a person that cares about beef quality or unacceptably large french fry servings. In and out is worth for hangover indigents.

[@beriukay]

chucky cheese is basically just irl fnaf

[@sc2youtube744]

The hype of in and out is that its good value. Its a decent burger at fast food prices. Its not as good as five guys but its way cheaper

[@tomosko2669]

I am a dia 2 player and I can confirm your hypothesis :D

Are you the Tim I know? How many Tims are there on Earth? Like 3, 4, something like that?

They probably didn't say 'needles' to scare you. It was probably to scare the parents and get some outrage going.

I think there was once a John oliver segment about chucky cheese. And nothing good is ever the subject of a john oliver segment.

If Salt could turn into minerals and vespin some people would had the ultimate economy without building workers.

Chucky cheese is a child's arcade that's has some food most people know it has pizza

Oh man, that those spores and queen throwing the bird at the porting BC.... lol.... insta quit!

[@samuel.andermatt]

"Führer" just means guide. Its not neccessarily a Nazi word. Its just commonly combined with another thing e.g. Bergfführer (mountain guide) I guess "FuRoar" means that he roars FU.

[@kalujny]

Can confirm, I'm D3/D2 and am full of anger.

[@alexwest2514]

I don't believe in keeping my thoughts private I think Pig would good look in drag

[@samuelfraser8922]

CuckyCheese has way better food than ChuckyCheese, no question

[@caesarsgaming3888]

In-n-Out is a pretty decent burger for a pretty decent price. Thats all i gotta say honestly. at this point a combo at in and out is as much as a combo at mcdonalds and its better food than McDs.

[@PiGstarcraft]

yeah i reckon with that not so high expectation, I'll enjoy it next time

[@noneayourbusiness5149]

Yeah there's no way this is Masters. It's either low Diamond or high Platinum. As much as they had very solid starts, both had very difficult times when things went wrong, which really tells me they're used to one or two build orders and they do those orders really well, but if things don't go right, they devolve to silver-level responses.

[@in4theride75]

In-n-out is just ok, it's not just you.

[@jujucasar2003]

I feel that is good advice. Like i was wondering if a black person would taste better than a white person but i dont feel the need to answer that question from trial and error.

[@waterzoip]

I'm gonna rename my twitch name to "Hail the FuRoar" and start donating left and right :)

[@PiGstarcraft]

*Frantically mutes text to speech* lol

[@92fasty]

FuRoar = Fuhrer when you say it too fast. Recommend changing the name when it’s an obvious troll like this…

[@joshuadlc620]

you didn't order in and out wrong, that's just the way it always is.

im suspicious anyone named "bitterangry" isnt just tryna get on saltmines

Fortunately he made it by admitting his juice is so weak & flavorless some mum poured 50lb of Morton down his beta gullet. Take the hint there is no milk in your cheese, bitter.

[@SeriousApache]

Isn't führer literally means leader in German?

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

Somewhat, but usually it is associated with hitler without further context because historically he was called "the führer". The word would be better translated with "guide" or "operator" though. It still is used commonly in German whenever appropriate though.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

In Dota2 games I think my team is made up of noobs every other game, yet I know very well its not true. Account buyers are rare, so most of the time Im playing with fellow immortals (top 2 precentile) players.

[@bladgier]

I'm about 4k mmr, played yesterday terran against 4.7k mmr protoss and I killed him with cyclone boys pull. He had stalkers that were next to super battery but my scvs hugged them against buildings, couldn't move and even super battery wasn't enough to compete with the dmg output. He told me he wishes I died in real life but I'm not angry at him becasue I know he didn't meant that. Maybe we should stop discriminate against in game rage XDDDD I take it as jokes either way, often I'm flaming myself

[@NedwardFlanders]

The most delicious of wins.

Hungover is the best time for in and out white castle Krystal or five guys. If you didn't like it then it's game set match. It's OK though PIG ❤ ya still haha

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Chuck E. Cheese doesn't exist any more. You're not missing much. You're spot on about In N Out. It's massively overrated and mediocre at best.

[@135791max]

I think your assumption of lower skill brackets being where people are "most toxic" seems to be based on guesswork and how you "feel" people would act in their brackets. In Dota, even at the highest level, there are extreme levels of toxicity. Puppey an owner of the pro Dota team "Secret" which has participated many times in The International, has literally told other people to "k*** themselves" in ranked games, many other popular and high skill streamers and/or pro players such as ATF, Mason, Ceb, and Quinn to just name a few have either been called out on or even received actual in-game punishments for their poor behavior. I know that it seems easy to justify "when player bad, they are toxic and angry" as the justification for all toxicity in video games, but as we see in the salt mines there are tons of people in these low mmr games who don't play well but are really chilled out and take other players anger on the chin, and this variety of people exists in all skill rankings. I know you aren't like a psychiatrist or a professional in studying human behavior, but after more than 50 episodes of the salt mines, and being a caster/playing video games for this long, I'm surprised to see you have a take that is so far from an objective truth. There might be slight variations to the levels of toxicity in different skill brackets but there are literally hundreds of factors that go into behavior like this, and skill level is likely one of the least impactful ones. People can be shitty no matter how good or bad at something they are.

[@PiGstarcraft]

I'm literally just relaying my own experiences and having fun. In my games Middle of EU + lower league seems to be the highest concentration of ragers in sc2. It doesn't mean all low skill level players are idiots. Might just mean 5% rather than 2%. I haven't played above bottom level on Dota or valorant and that was where I came across crazy amounts of completely delusional rage. I was literally just curious what everyone else thought and had experienced.

[@TheZigZiggy]

[@gam1ngfr3ak]

I'm guessing "FuRoar" is just a play on words: fu·ror /ˈfyo͝oˌrôr,ˈfyo͞oˌrôr/ noun noun: furore; plural noun: furores; noun: furor; plural noun: furors an outbreak of public anger or excitement. "the article raised a furor among mathematicians"

[@PiGstarcraft]

haha that's what I figured at first, and yet when I said it it sounded so much like ye old nazi title that I was like oh my, are they doing that on purpose. Probably not but definitely caught me off guard lol
