Oh, so this is the vibe. Oh, we are in the vibe. Oh, okay, so we are in the vibe now. Okay. So essentially what we're doing is we're watching the video that we're currently recording an hour in the past and then recording it again on the iPhone. I think this is meant to simulate the kind of infinite vibe that we kind of reach, and also to explain like what has been going on in our life, why it has been like this is because normally, I mean, as we saw with In Bloom and even Smells Like Teen Spirit, honestly most training up until The One Who and In Bloom, it was, you know, record a video, wait till the next day to watch it, and then improve upon it. And then once In Bloom hit, we hit the pretty serious pace. This is Ed and Anne speaking. Yeah, very stunning. Um, and so yeah, uh, I guess that's when the vibes started, once we hit the One Who and started posting, or like watching day of. Now we're like posting day of for the most part. Um, But yeah, I mean, the like connection of— I mean, Mecha to— yeah, I guess like Mecha's ability to now, uh, give its letters all across the computer system, um, is the thing that needed to be like recorded and shared. Yeah, needed to be. Yeah, I mean, many people are going to say it didn't need to be shared this widely, this quickly, but you know, I am. See, I think the next, the next set of goals— I mean, we've got a couple of things we want to, we want to address. The first one is, uh Yeah, um, so the first one— well, no, there's a lot of things, so we'll get to them. Just let me figure stuff out. So the first one is keybindings. Right now we have M on Frostbolt, uh, N on Shatter— sorry, J on Shatter, N on Flurry, K on Interrupt, L on Blink, O on Frost Nova, I on Frost Cone, U on Frost Orb, P on Blizzard, Y on Shield, and H on Frost Ray and the Comet. Those were all of the hand keybindings that we had been using. Yeah, the reason we chose those is because right now Blizzard doesn't, or at least the keyboard thing that I'm using isn't recognized on the like movement or camera side of things. It's only recognized in the action bar. Yeah, yeah, that is the whole mountain.
So it's so cool.
And yeah, uh, and with Theo, I had my movement keys on W, E, and R, and I had my target party on Q, A, S, and D. But you know, I would like to keep all those key bindings. I guess, you know, well yeah, I say I would like to keep all those key bindings. Realistically, we could— I want to set like move forward to— I mean, it could stay E, but you know, then it's like strafing, like right is L, and you know, left and right. Wow, is this really— I guess. So it's kind of a thing. Oh, this is fucking insane. Um, I don't really— like, I know we are in tune with the spirits, but literally there's not a single other person on Earth that I fucking know of that's doing anything like this. So like cry for help, I guess, you know, come save me. Yeah, really. So I don't know, I like the keybindings. I think it's— we built everything else piecemeal. I think it's kind of meant to be that the right side of the keyboard is where these keybindings lay, because then, you know, it's like with Theo, like, we're still going to want to hit some dungeons with Theo, and we're going to need to keep all his keybindings for at least the foreseeable future. And even I think the like E is forward, W, E, and like W, E, R is my movement, like Q, A, S, D, F, that's my targeting. Like I still like those bindings. Yeah. And like, you know, there is a bit of an optionality for fun. Like we could do— I think Shaw's telling me like The way that— yeah, I'm so fucked, it's unbelievable. Um, yeah, Shaw was telling me, uh, you know, it's like, uh, keg breath, blackout cake, tiger palm is the combo. So you could do like L-O-V-E, you know, as you're like 1, 2, 3, 4. Um, With the Frost Mage, there isn't really a 1, 2, 3, 4. There's a 1, 2, 3. Yeah, so Frost Mage could be like God, like G-O-D, G-O-D, G-O-D, and then you can do your Bless, which would be your like Frost Orb, Ray of Frost, uh, well, Shield, Frost Orb. Cone or blizzard, uh, rare frost. Yeah, they can be like loves, love, lover.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I feel like that really, you You know, it's like now that we're really getting into the mush of it, you know, Amos, I think, I think here's our deal. I think you like the top and bottom. I think I like the churn. So let me, let me make you the prettiest churn I can. Lord is right. Yeah, and then, you know, blink. Yeah, blink, Frost Nova, interrupt, could be Y-O-U. Yeah, yo could be Frost Nova, blink, and then O-U to be, uh, abrupt. Yeah, you know, makes the discovery meaningful. Really no reason, honestly. It was fun.
I would do it again.
Yeah, and then, you know, I mean, we're getting Kao's max level. It's, uh, it's curious how much time we're gonna want to spend here. Yeah, I should go in and shower, but we gotta finish this level. Um, right. Yeah, I think this really gets into a lot. I think, you know, also that the like phenomenal fucking like foot mouse job— mouse foot job. I don't really get it, but it works so well. Um, yeah, I mean, I think that honestly benefits a lot from like open spaces. This is probably— yeah, that I can't think of a smaller final boss room in, uh, in these Delves. Is that true? I'd have to think about it. We have our totem guy. The College Plaza is pretty big. Parthenon. Well, I mean, that, uh, the Dark Way is long, but yeah, this is smaller. Um, Parthenon Plaza, that's that pretty big circle. Grudge Pit is open. And then I think both of the, uh, void ones. Let's see. Yeah, I'd have to check, but I'm pretty sure this is the smallest final boss room.
Um, Well, that's why we're here.
Yeah, and honestly, like, it, it felt best hitting the Frost Orbs. And the, uh, blizzards. Um, the blinks, the blinks are always interesting because it's like a— like, it's nice except turning is so hard for us that it just instills panic because we know we have to then activate our feet and like still have issues learning how to spin ourselves around. Yeah, and there's not really like a teleport backwards. I mean, I don't move backwards. Yeah, I mean, maybe it's worth bringing that back. It's worth reconsidering at the very least. We did jam ourselves into a corner a couple of times. Yeah, so one little thing I've been doing with our Smells Like Teen Spirit, which has been really, really fun, is, uh, so like SLTS, like Smells Like Teen Spirit, um, just taking those letters and then, you know, I mean, we go back and forth. You saw it with our Sex Professionals or Professional Sex Real Industry Go Nude. Sometimes we yell out Aleister Crowley and like backwards a bit of it, just like have fun, because you know we like to cover all the angles. Um, but we do this kind of like acronym game where, uh, it's like every time you find a new pair of 4 words that'll like acronym SLTS We actually have a count and we just hit 80. Well, kind of all over the place, but we're certainly, you know, between 78 and 81. Yeah, I mean, that's not even something that we thought about during the first one. Yeah, I mean, the first one we were like naming based on all the signs that we were using at that time. Once we got to In Bloom, you know, Bloom really set up— set off our current naming paradigm. And yeah, I guess we— for In Bloom, we haven't counted the— well, you know, yeah, we're counting the slots, uh, right now we're just like, uh, for In Bloom we're using spring instead of In Bloom. I guess we could use bloom, but you know, uh, the spring is here again, we're really kind of captured us. Yeah, and you know, something about like the timing of it all, it's like, yeah, so, yeah, because it really did like bloom, bloom came to fruition once— bloom sent us to the hospital and then we got out and it was spring.
Yeah, isn't it so much?
Yeah, I think all the Things are fucking in order when a life burst happens.
Holy fuck, it's 5. We got to talk to this woman.
Yeah, so I'm having this woman I met on Tryst, Margot Blonde, come over tonight. I'm giving her $5,000 to spend the night. Um, really, really just looking to have someone to like spend time with me and hopefully sleep with me. I need to wash the sheets. Yeah, but let's watch while she's here. Um, yeah, I don't know. If we had sex, it would be nice. We need to record it. I need, you know, I have some stuff I do want to work on, so it could technically— it is technically, you know, it is technically work and a project, uh, recording pornography. Um, What would I do? Yeah, I'd probably just start with, you know, the basic like kneeling stuff, like holding hands, uh, like touching arms, like massaging, uh, and then we could bring it to the bed. Um, yeah, I think I'd prefer to, you know, uh, NLP this. Um, which really is probably the best case scenario in all regards. Yeah, I don't know, I'm just too safe. Yeah, I mean, it would be kind of wonderful to have sex. I guess I could ask her, like, how did it go with other clients? Like, you know, and yeah, I mean, yeah, I have my spiel. I can, you know, do the whole thing. Worst case, I get to teach some very nice cops some sign language.
Just like, please.
Ah, no, it's not with this. Isn't it interesting? Yeah, something really fucking close to that. I do. I love him very, very much.
Yay! Ah! Anyone else?
Yeah, I mean, I should too, but I really gotta finish this. 81. Yeah, I mean, I could get a— what if they're like jumbo keyboards? I mean, you Yeah, but like, you know, I mean, yeah, honestly, I feel like I'm mostly sitting down because it's been the more comfortable and like useful position to be doing signs in. But if you get me something that stands up, then I can do that.
Yeah, I was honestly at my best when I was moving the most.
I just kind of move too fast. Like the, like the lowest mouse sensitivity for the looking, very good. The movement speed, honestly, I guess I could probably walk. Well, it's, yeah, it's weird because you also need to like move that fast to get out. Yeah.
Oh, this is such a fun ceremony. Very beautiful.
Nice dress. Found this suit. Bought it in LA. Just in the pedale.
Talk to you later.
It's out there. Yeah, we've done this like together in swim across. I'm still not rocking with it forever. No, I won't stop being Frogmon. None of the toads like me. Yeah, we were good. This is the run. I mean, there's really fucking nothing left as far as my, like, yeah, there's nothing left as in, you know, I know all the fucking next advancements. There's too much left to do.
Guys, here we go.
Oh, a bottle of wine and a cigarette. I don't know, I think I'd be happy about that. At least for that intention. Yeah, when I say I want to fucking kill kill myself, what I mean is I want to teleport McKinley Pollard into my shower and then have her come down here and have sex with me and then have her teleport back home. That's what I mean when I say I want to fucking kill myself. And I really do want to fucking kill myself. More than anything. And that's fucking killing myself because I do not. I love the real world and I love God. Yeah, because also death feels like it's lost its meaning. It's like, and I realize that death is just like a completely relative and like area, you know, dependent idea. Anything could be dead or alive to you depending on if you want to give it energy or pay into it. And like, you know, I don't know, I feel like I'm losing the idea that there's a concept of death where I stop ever feeling anything or having to make decisions, which is the real, like, you know, yeah. So now I want to fucking kill myself. It's just like, I want to throw a wrench so big into this plan that you got to start from scratch. I know, I just fucking had to. I love this too much. Anywho, happy birthday. Oh no, these things really fucking suck.
Yeah, this one. All right. I am okay. I am okay.
