The Ego Review: Rob Blanc 1+2

[@kataphrut7740]

I love that “Yahtzee’s self-insert is too buff” is a plot point in chapter two. The fact that it specifies his broad shoulders makes me think teenage Yahtzee’s grandma or someone said he had broad shoulders and he latched onto that compliment.

[@ethzero]

He misheard, "You have a broard's shoulders"

[@mysteriousstranger9496]

For anyone still curious, the MIDI tune in RB 1 seems to be somebody's MIDI mashup of "Whigfield - Another Day" & "Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime". It bothered me for years, but I finally solved it. I can't locate the MIDI file itself though.

[@Yodelingviking]

"The Ego Review" in a nutshell: Yahtzee's early games: Yahtzee, "This game is really shit." Gabe, "Fuck you, this is fine." Yahtzee's later games: Yahtzee, "I'm actually kind of proud of these." Gabe, "Fuck you, these are shit."

What I've noticed as an artist(at least I'd like to think that I am an artist) is that people gets more critical as your art becomes better. I think it's because people starts to see less of you in artwort and get more focused in art itself as it gets better. Which is kinda disheartening but it is what it is.

Massively notice this on youtube with channels that review their old stuff. Bit of a left field example, but the old Collegehumor duo Jake and Amir review their own videos. The fans love the old, cack handed indie rough stuff, the creators hate it and prefer their more recent, highly polished material. The fans always think the latter stuff is more 'corporate', 'too polished'.

[@youknowinhindsight]

Just a note to Yahtzee whenever he gets around to playing Chzo Mythos: The Chzo Mythos series of games are possibly my favorite video / computer games ever. I played them long after they had first been released (maybe late 2011?) and despite their small shortcomings in design and somewhat short length I found the narratives incredibly powerful, the characters believable and interesting, the visuals captivating, the music fitting (whether it came from RPG Maker or was composed specifically for the game), the puzzles intriguing, the interface simple, and the overall style mesmerizing. This series is what made me want to create video games (and art in general, for that matter). It showed me that even if you're just one guy in your basement with limited tools, you can still create an incredibly moving and captivating product. The games are still very telling for me today, and I could easily pick up 7DAS or Trilby's Notes right now and start playing it. So when you play 5DAS somewhere in the run of this series, and you start to think about beating yourself up over tiny interface issues, remember how much of a difference that thing you made over 11 years ago had on people like me.

19:10 This is EXACTLY what the Extra Credits guys have been saying in their most recent miniseries about how to make your first game, Yahtzee! Keep it short and simple, keep your goals attainable and limited, and focus on mechanics and achieving that first playable product rather than think you're going to crank out the next Halo as your first game. You did GREAT! Moreover, you did *something* and ended up with a finished product! That's far better than most, and you even acknowledge that. Well done!

The physics of the elevator bit was actually very wrong. Pushing the wall one way also pushes the floor the other way the same amount (Newton's 3rd law, etc.), so the net force on the elevator is zero and the elevator would not move from the push. They're best bet would be to simply wait. If they were adrift then the gravity of the planet would attract the elevator and they would crash anyway, assuming the elevator wasn't orbiting the planet above it's atmosphere. This is, of course, neglecting the problems with burning up on entry, surviving the deceleration of a crash from space and the large amount of time it would take for the elevator to reach the planet (assuming earth-like gravitational field strength). Also, there would be gravity in the elevator, but not such that they would be standing normally. They would be slightly and unnoticeably drawn toward the direction of the planet (assuming that there are no stronger gravitational fields intersecting the elevator). I have been waiting for a situation where my incomplete university physics education would be even slightly relevant. Thank you, I guess...

[@dik4316]

But they apply force to perpendicular surfaces, so the effect would be a diagonal push. (I can't into physics, tho.)

[@jamesjwr]

You throw the book from the elevator in the opposite direction.

[@mattislindehag3065]

Di, k No. Immagine that you are standing on concrete and that you are pushing a heavy box, causing it to slide forward. Then imagine that you are doing the same thing on ice and that it causes you to slide backwards. This is because you are more firmly anchored to the concrete and the box is more firmly anchored to the ice. If you try to push a box from within you will not be anchored to an independant surface, but to the bottom of the box itself. As a result you are not pushing the box, you are pushing the wall of the box away from its bottom. That will cause no movement at all. It will only strain the structure of the box.

[@sttate]

Di, k You're not pushing down on the floor though, you're scraping your feet against the floor in the opposite direction to the wall (you seem to be confusing friction with gravity or something), meaning the net force is zero as they're in opposite directions.

[@azzahnoble]

jamesjwr That would work Brandon Cowan That still wouldn't work. Any amount you move the elevator by pushing it would cancel out when you inevitably hit the opposite wall.

If you wish to move an object through space, you need to detach and launch some of it's mass in the opposite direction. Commonly (as far as i know) they use small pipes that let out a bit of steam/gas in the opposite direction but you could in theory throw a marble or a shoe or something. Of course the more you detach the faster you go, if you did throw a marble the marble would be going a lot faster then you would. So next time you are stuck floating in space, pack a lot of marbles... i dunno. If you pushed on the wall of the structure you are in, the amount of force you are exerting on the floor to push you towards the wall would counter the one you are exerting on the wall. You can tip a box like that in the surface because you make use of the friction of the surface, which you wouldn't have in space.

Re: the elevator question, to move something you are standing on you have to throw something in the opposite direction. Assuming you're initially at rest the resulting velocity will be the product of the thrown objects mass and speed divided by the combined mass of you and the lift.

29:16 well, armchair physicist here to argue about it in the comments. So no, pushing on the side of the elevator box would not make it move in that direction as the force youre trying to push the wall with is creating an opposite force of friction between your feet and the floor. Theyre equal and opposite, that's how youre staying in that position afterall, so the thing wouldnt move. Now, it *might* be possible if you jumped and threw yourself against the wall over and over and over, then youd actually be transferring your momentum in a single direction, but it probably wouldnt be by much, and youd be sore af before you traveled any significant distance :D Also youd have to get that initial force used to throw yourself against the wall by using your feet, so that may well negate it too. Its very possible that theres nothing you could do in a sealed system like that to make it move since all motions would cancel themselves out. Making it rotate would probably be pretty easy but actually getting it to travel in any one direction might be impossible.

[@Zidana123]

Yahtzee: "No, it's shit. And I'm absolutely humilated now." *pat pats Yahtzee* T_T

[@subjectalpha11]

Also, in terms of the physics: 1) No, I don't think you'd be able to push the wall Otherwise the ISS would be sent off course by someone accidentally bumping into the sides too hard. Also, it'd be more like you'd move yourself, rather than the wall. 2) No, there would still be gravity. It'd just be so immeasurably small that you wouldn't feel it. That's the smart-ass answer though. 3) If you were merely floating in an elevator within the gravity well of the planet, you'd be sucked down. You'd have to be moving sideways quickly enough to keep in orbit.

You couldn't move a box in space from within due to conservation of momentum.
