All right.

Well, that was the side topic,

which, by the way, that got me so juiced because I was so curious what Casey actually had to say about it.

So we'll move this one into done.

Good job, everybody.

I think we all did a great job here.

And so now we got to go to some digging games.

Now, I do want to be honest here.

I think that that we're going to have a lot of disappointment.

Except from from TJ.

I'm sure TJ has an excellent one

but I can tell you this much I have not put in the work

that was needed to even get my not very good

last time you showed a game where the rain was like going up

and down in a sine wave so anything like even

if you just showed something where the rain just went down

that would be a big improvement and you would win the most improved for me certainly at that point

Well, thank you.

Well, Casey, the nice part is you are the judge.

So I do think that what you need to judge, obviously, is not necessarily how complete the games are.

Great point.

Yeah, that's true.

How fun could they be?

If we actually sat down and took a lot of effort, and you went into it and power -ups,

whatever, are added to the game to make it more convincing

but it's what has the in the rough

that's mostly rough can i just say prime

i feel like this is all this feels like leading the leading the jury or leading the witnesses whatever it's called

hey well what we really want to judge on i mean is the potential of the game not what's there

i don't think that's fair tj you're absolutely right

that this is leading the witness but i I would like to say I'm both judge, jury, and executioner, and so I don't care.

Overruled.

I feel like this is – so you're saying this is, like, little Jimmy who is not – he has not excelled in school.

He's got his finger in his nose.

We're, like, sitting with the teacher at parent -teacher conference, and it's like – but he has potential.

That's what you're – you're looking for, like, he could go on to bigger things.

I think Prime thinks of himself more as, like, a Goodwill hunting -style character.

Oh, so which one is the janitor that's going to solve equations?

Right, that's prime.

It's like he's writing the equation on the board, and he could have an illustrious career in mathematics, but he's been busy this week.

Unfortunately, I was actually writing the equations on the board, but then I had janitorial service to do, so I actually couldn't follow through.

It's like you can only do so much.

You had to go get a girl's number at a restaurant?

I can't remember what happens in that.

He's always at a bar.

He's like, I got a number.

He says, I got a number.

I do remember him saying that.

I got a number.

How do you like them apples?

I got a number.

Something like that.

That's Boston.

Those are the Boston accents you guys like.

That whole movie is Boston accents.

Did he say it was a Boston accent?

It's a bunch of facking.

You know, there's a lot of facking going on.

It was very hard to understand what was going on there.

Yeah.

Anyway, okay.

So how am I supposed to judge these games?

Are you guys going to show me some demos here?

I think Trash probably needs to whisper us inside of our Discord where to go for the URLs,

just so we don't get absolutely bombarded by chat.

And then I will change the scene and bring it up, and we can all bring it up.

So I have things I need to say before.

I love that.

That's a great start.

Have you ever deployed to production and everything is green and awesome?

But when you go to the website, oh, my gosh, it's a 500?

Well, don't worry because linear has your back.

See, when that 500 hits, your error reporting can create a linear ticket, which will kick off a linear loop.

So honestly, why spend 30, 40, 50 minutes of your time searching around with these production bugs

when you can get automated pull requests to get you started with the correct fix?

And just like that, a pull request.

Issue is created and patch received, error fixed, and production is all good now.

So check out linear today and actually save real time.

The ad is the Linearogen.

I see, TJ.

I'm not the only one.

TJ, by the way, you're also allowed to have a preamble.

No, but the funny thing is I've been working hard for like two weeks, okay?

But this is all I have to show.

I pivoted yesterday.

So I'm going to show you a number of things.

Let me show you my original ideas.

Okay, great.

I love this.

Okay, I like this.

This is good.

And then we're going to show you what I pivoted to last night.

and then what has just deployed like five minutes ago.

So we'll see if that works.

And then I actually have a game that I'm going to launch today that I think everyone's going to enjoy,

especially you, Prime, based on this game you've been playing for a long, long, long, long, long, long.

But this is not a pivot?

This one's not the pivot.

100

This one's not the pivot.

101

This is my ADD making a bunch of random things at this point.

102

okay that makes sense okay so here's the first one yeah let's walk through specifically

103

because that that will help me trash

104

so the first one

105

I'm going to share was supposed to be multiplayer for all of us okay

106

I tested it for the first time last night with some friends

107

and boy oh boy

108

that thing was lag city okay I will say Casey

109

there's no way you all are gonna

110

we're gonna be able to play any other

111

that's another one where a game that's really funny though where a game looks good for multiplayer okay

112

so let me go i thought cloudflare like worked out of the box i don't know

113

so something happening with cloudflare i was using party kit

114

and things just went all right we were trying to play

115

and it was just not good so

116

so this is the first thing i sent

117

you this is i was trying to make like uh

118

i was trying to be nostalgic remember like being in computer lab in school

119

you have like a flash game website

120

you can kind of just pick random games just to kind of kill time in class um

121

so i was gonna make something like that

122

so i sent it in the discord yeah so we can't play multiplayer

123

because i tried to do

124

that it's just too laggy it does work okay by the way

125

it's just it's just it's too laggy like i even had like a room code

126

and it wouldn't even show it on the on the page

127

because i don't want other people to join it turns out we just can't even play so that's That's fine.

128

That's fine.

129

Awesome.

130

I have all these random games here.

131

So it started off with like digging and then I was like digging and I was like, well, I don't know.

132

That's kind of boring.

133

So like in the spirit of digging, I had something like a backyard pool where you can wait.

134

Can we pause?

135

Dresh?

136

You made us build digging games and then you decided it was too boring.

137

No, I have a digging game.

138

It's just not on this platform.

139

I have lots.

140

Dude.

141

Okay.

142

That is how

143

Minecraft got started guys.

144

Okay.

145

So don't knock it.

146

Trash might just have accidentally handed you the keys to the next $2 billion buyout from Microsoft.

147

I'm just showing you how my brain has evolved over the past two weeks.

148

So I started off with a really simple sandbox.

149

I was like, well, sandbox is kind of boring.

150

So I was like, okay, what about water?

151

So you can go in here, you shake it, you can throw the water.

152

How are you lowering the bucket?

153

How are you doing this?

154

You push them up.

155

You just click with the mouse.

156

That's it.

157

That does not happen on my machine.

158

If I click the mouse, nothing happens.

159

It does not happen on my machine.

160

You have to start playing in the top left.

161

There's no start playing in the top left.

162

Go to practice.

163

Go to practice.

164

I can't go to practice.

165

It doesn't let me click on that.

166

It just says, I'm in.

167

You got to refresh the page.

168

It works for me.

169

I love the FPS counter for a single bucket of water no

170

but every time i refresh the page it goes back every time

171

i refresh the page it goes back to friends

172

it won't let me click on anything else i i dude

173

i'm i'm watering are you watering right

174

now okay why is the bucket not going to the side

175

it is going to what do you mean okay

176

i had to click leave room that's what happened look at this it just remains

177

Oh, you mean, why is it not tipping over?

178

Why is it not tipping over when you move it?

179

Yeah, yeah.

180

How do I know that I'm getting water in?

181

You literally see it fill up.

182

So the more you move it side to side, the faster it will actually fill up.

183

Hey, Trash, can you tell me why the size of the bucket is 241 .2 milliliters?

184

Oh, man, that was the bugging code.

185

Is that even a full liter?

186

I'm not even doing a full liter at a time.

187

Okay, okay, well, okay, you get the point.

188

So that's the first one.

189

By the way, don't have to shake it back and forth.

190

I don't think that actually increases speed.

191

It does.

192

I'm telling you.

193

I'm telling you it does.

194

I'm telling you.

195

So see, but you can also use a sponge.

196

Look, you can do a sponge and you like fill up the sponge with water and you squeeze it.

197

Well, how do you get a sponge?

198

Yeah, how do you get the sponge?

199

So you can go to...

200

It's really nice.

201

So if you go to like, you can do...

202

There's like a reset button in the top right.

203

And then it'll let you choose your tools.

204

So if you look at my screen.

205

I'm crazy.

206

Okay, yeah, there's not.

207

i got it okay i'm sitting at the sponge

208

you see it you see it you see it oh how do you you just squeeze it

209

so you just push and hold just like the bucket all right okay okay squeezy

210

and then you unclick and then you just

211

so it's like like little various tools

212

that will take longer to do things i was like okay well i don't know

213

if i want to do that anymore

214

so i was like what other games how are you gonna make strategy here well

215

i mean the strategy is basically how fast can you be effectively okay and then

216

so i was like okay let's make it a little bit harder apm

217

you already want starcraft yeah i know this is what's going on here yeah

218

so i was like let's make it slightly harder um

219

so i was like i don't know i'm asian i like chopsticks right

220

that makes sense so i had a chopstick game

221

and i'm white i like chopsticks just throwing it out there i don't know why i said

222

that to me it just it just popped in my head this is really that was my thought process.

223

Do all Asians love chopsticks?

224

I don't think that's true.

225

Okay.

226

I don't think

227

Russia is known for chopsticks.

228

Anyways.

229

I do love them.

230

So I made this kitchen prep game and I was like, okay, let's see how fast we can empty out a platter.

231

Originally it was sushi or something, right?

232

I love where that thing just landed.

233

So you can throw these things.

234

So basically you're racing to see who can clear it out.

235

Okay.

236

So this one takes a little bit more skill, right?

237

You have to be more accurate, right?

238

That makes sense so you get that 32 vegetables removed

239

i was like okay well maybe we can go like a little bit further maybe

240

we can do like an excavator whoa okay so like an excavator

241

and you can go here you can dig

242

and you can like pour it out right

243

so it's the same same concept right all these are the

244

same concept of you having to clear something yeah within the time limit

245

so there's different time limits

246

or you can go all the way i like the excavator box okay

247

so excavator is cool

248

and i was like okay well you know this is not something

249

you can play like a lot right that's pretty good

250

i was like well pretty good i'm kind of i was like okay

251

i'm kind of tired of digging let's like do something that's more like friend slap

252

so then i made like a dung beetle game

253

and you can basically race to collect poop

254

and you put it in your your little thing here

255

and you can go to other people's things you can steal you can steal their poop too

256

so just like this like really like by my mind start going with the fun friend slap stuff

257

so you can battle right like i can't steal his poop he can like boot me or whatever.

258

But the idea is who can collect the most poop or whatever.

259

I was like, okay.

260

This is where I was pushing the models a little bit.

261

I was like, let's try this.

262

This is where the multiplayer came in.

263

When I tried to play this, it was just super laggy.

264

I love that the beetles walk backwards.

265

They go butt first.

266

I love the butt first.

267

They're dumb beetles.

268

That's what they do, right?

269

When they have poop, they go backwards. Do they?

270

I don't know.

271

That's a good question, Trash.

272

They're going backwards even when they don't have poop, though.

273

If they don't have poop, they walk normal like this.

274

I don't know why the computers are walking backwards.

275

These are all computers.

276

I was going to say, the ones I'm watching are going backwards all the time.

277

That's cheating.

278

They know something you don't know.

279

I think they know something I don't know.

280

I was like, okay.

281

So now my mind's getting into multiplayer stuff.

282

I was like, okay, we can probably get a little bit harder.

283

That takes a little bit more scope.

284

That wasn't too bad.

285

So I was like, okay, let's do a Toad Trek game.

286

So here you have to actually use WASD, backup, and actually like, oh gosh, I'm not very good at this.

287

That's actually kind of a nice aesthetic trash.

288

I'm not going to lie.

289

This is a nice aesthetic.

290

It reminds me of the traffic jam game where you move the cars around to set up the different puzzles.

291

You know what I'm saying?

292

You know the game?

293

Oh man, that car is getting crushed by you.

294

Why is it not picking up the car?

295

There we go.

296

You have to bump into it first, like a real tow truck.

297

There it is.

298

See?

299

So this is where it starts to get harder, right?

300

This is actually super hard to do.

301

I was like, okay, let's see what else we can do.

302

So this is like, this is just, this is me evolving over time.

303

Right, right.

304

We're seeing your skills.

305

This is good though, Trash.

306

This is good.

307

I know.

308

But why, why.

309

It's slowly getting better.

310

But why, like, was it that you didn't think that you could do more with this game?

311

Like, it seems like you stopped before seeing if there was a game here though.

312

In a lot of these.

313

Well, I, cause like for these, it's like,

314

my kind of goal was how long could I see myself actually playing this game before I just forget about it.

315

Right.

316

But how would you know, like, clearly you could make a game about towing cars.

317

I mean.

318

True.

319

Yeah.

320

Yeah.

321

Yeah.

322

I think so too.

323

But I think ultimately like my, where I went was I was trying to, like I said in the beginning,

324

I was trying to make like a site of a bunch of mini games.

325

Okay.

326

Where you can kind of just pick something, kill some time and then go do something.

327

Okay. So they.

328

So that was kind of like the idea.

329

It's like, let me get a quick five -minute gaming session effectively.

330

Okay.

331

So that's basically where this whole site is.

332

That's why there's so many different modes, right?

333

So we have this one.

334

If you ever play

335

Karate Kid, you could catch chopsticks way back in the day.

336

Oh, yeah.

337

Nice.

338

So this is kind of like the modern version.

339

So you can catch little flies and throw them in your bowl.

340

There's gold flies.

341

The gold flies are worth more.

342

And it's pretty – honestly, it's kind of hard to do.

343

So this is where you would have friends.

344

The camera's kind of not helping there.

345

Camera's a feature.

346

It's not perfect.

347

It's not perfect, okay?

348

But you see where I'm going with this.

349

I was like, okay, because I'm trying to figure out games that would be harder, that would make people want to play against each other.

350

So it's like, I need to keep stepping up the difficulties.

351

Yeah, there has to be an element of skill that makes it fun.

352

Exactly.

353

An element of luck that makes it so that even when someone's not as good, they can still win sometimes.

354

Exactly.

355

And that's where my surprise game comes in later, which you will see.

356

Oh, okay.

357

Oh, I like this.

358

So the rest of these, honestly, they're not too difficult.

359

Like I made, again, this is me kind of just testing the LLMs to see what they could do.

360

You can basically be a goose and just like collect stuff and go against your friends, see how fast you can go like, like I see.

361

Basically just see how fast you can click a picnic or a picnic blanket or whatever.

362

So like, again, these don't really have like too much depth.

363

It's just like, I was kind of just curious because Astrid just came out.

364

So I was really curious like what it could do.

365

And what I figured out was it was good at modeling, but not so much the code.

366

So what ended up happening is a model.

367

I was going to say that kind of looks like it.

368

It looks like the code's very janky, but the modeling is like you've asked it to produce all these things, and it did a wide variety.

369

They're kind of in the same style, but I assume that was a request of yours, right?

370

Because you want the site to look.

371

Right.

372

So that's desirable, right?

373

I think my computer is dying because of this website.

374

I love that.

375

Gary Tans cable.

376

You're going to burn out Gary Tans cable.

377

I literally can't do anything.

378

Oh my God.

379

Am I back?

380

Oh my God.

381

That website just killed me.

382

Hey, Trash.

383

Okay.

384

That's awesome.

385

The website literally just killed me.

386

That's awesome.

387

I think there's too much 3JS going on.

388

Let me be sure again.

389

It's Tans revenge.

390

It's Tans revenge, dude.

391

Casey, as an expert, as a legendary game programmer, when you see this many models take down a website,

392

what do you feel on the inside? i mean

393

i to be honest though i i don't necessarily feel anything on the inside

394

because it's been known for

395

so long how bad though like web handling of this stuff is it's like you go to a 3d site

396

and all of a sudden all the fans spin up for

397

no really like what is going on i i don't know

398

that that's it might be i'm sure part of it's the ai's fault

399

but a large part of it is just the platform being bad right it's the training data you know

400

so i don't know training data

401

because unfortunately people made bad sites beforehand yeah yeah i don't i don't blame the ais for things

402

that i've seen happen plenty of times before right okay okay

403

this is the one this is the one where i pivoted last night um

404

because i felt bad i didn't have a digging game

405

and then we were talking in slack or on discord yesterday

406

that we should have a digging game

407

so i started panicking for the last two weeks we're like dude trash digging game here it comes trash

408

and trash is like

409

so i pivoted last night to make a dating digging game i do need to i do need to understand

410

what was the digging game you were speaking of two weeks ago was it the platform

411

that you built or something that you're not going to show us

412

so the idea would have been

413

so you know how like we have like the pool game where you're kind of just scooping out water

414

it was effectively that just with sand

415

and you would just have like a fork or a knife

416

and it'd just be absurd

417

and you'd just be like clicking like mindlessly very fast to see who would win

418

but we don't have that that game's not

419

i ditched it i completely ditched it i completely ditched it like i evolved it into like these other games

420

and then i was like slowly realizing

421

that the idea just was like i just realized the idea just wasn't very good okay

422

so it wasn't very good so it wasn't very good for a multiplayer kind of thing

423

so this what i'm showing you is literally like the point of view of you in front of some dirt

424

and it's literally a digging simulator but it's actually kind of hard to do

425

because it's based off of the game quap

426

so you actually have to nice

427

so you have to except for this quap guy yeah except for this version

428

this one this one's live this is dig .qurop .com

429

because there's actually i'll share this in the chat too oh wow there's there's a lot of letters

430

so this one's actually six letters

431

which then will go into my next game quick question quick question how come

432

you didn't make it uh how come it's not uh qw ty op

433

because then it would have been symmetrical this er really makes it very it actually makes it

434

so for my next game it actually makes it a lot easier to play

435

which is one of the main reasons okay okay maybe

436

i love this regression okay i love

437

you i love where this is later again i can always tell my lm to change it

438

but for right right now this is what it is one we're one right now sentence away

439

so right now q and w will lift it up

440

and down e

441

and r will basically change the angle oh i can play

442

it oh okay there we go can you see me

443

now i can see it yep

444

you can see it you can see it now right yeah why are you going up

445

and down like that it's weird i was trying to demo the movement okay q

446

and w are up and down E and R are the angles, right?

447

Oh, I love this.

448

You have the opposite roll.

449

And then O is like you're pushing it down to the ground, and P is you're pulling it out.

450

So what you would want to do is you do W to lower it, and then you get your little angle in there,

451

and then you push down with O, change your little thingy here, get it up, and then you pull it out, and then you lift it.

452

And then you move your thing over here, and then you change the angle.

453

Boom.

454

Nice, Trash.

455

So there's like different milestones.

456

We have these milestones here where you can get to a certain depth and it actually saves everything in local storage.

457

So this is not something you have to do in one activity.

458

So if you're bored one day and you just want to like dig because I like to dig.

459

Touch dirt.

460

You know what I'm saying?

461

You have to dig some dirt.

462

You go in there.

463

I can dig it.

464

You know what I'm saying?

465

You go over here and then that's literally it.

466

And so at each level, you'll see different things.

467

I think there's like.. dinosaur fossils at some point what do you mean

468

you think uh well that's okay i made

469

it i haven't successfully dig here i'll go to my local version that's a little bit deeper

470

so this version's a little bit deeper

471

so there's some things in there you see that oh i do see

472

that what is it what is

473

that like golden rope that's sticking out it's supposed to be a worm

474

it's supposed to be a worm location in both screens okay it's the word it's always again I just made this.

475

It just deployed just now.

476

You know what I'm saying?

477

You can see here it gets deeper, but you can see how you can get pretty deep in this game.

478

I'm going to take it.

479

I'm going to see how far I can get.

480

My goal is to actually get to the bottom.

481

It makes it interesting because you can figure out, get your rhythm with the shovel.

482

Yeah.

483

Boom.

484

See that?

485

This is more of those truck driver simulators, plane simulators.

486

Here, it's literally just a digging simulator.

487

Digging simulator mixed with co -op.

488

I can respect that, Trash.

489

Okay, now for the actual game that I want everybody to play.

490

You don't have to play now, but you can play later in life.

491

We have this new game.

492

Oh, gosh.

493

Oh, I love where this is going.

494

And you have to pitch.

495

So Q is your arm.

496

QW is your arm.

497

ER is your torso.

498

And you can lose balance.

499

You can lose your balance so you have to time it really good alright and then OP is your legs alright

500

so you have to figure out how to

501

I've been practicing a lot so I'm not bad at this game right now that was a pretty good throw

502

I've threw at least like 5 ,000 pitches in this game okay

503

so what you can do is you can try to get what's the web address corop .com

504

qwerop .com everybody go you can go on the leaderboard

505

it's a live domain for this yeah it's a it's a live leaderboard

506

so so if you get a high score you can actually share your score here

507

and then go put it on twitter

508

or whatever you want to do that's it i'm getting jim to figure all of this out

509

no don't use your your llabs dude i will be

510

so mad but this game so so i made this game yesterday

511

and i was playing with friends we're like oh man

512

this is like actually super dude we're like sitting here playing it forever

513

because it took me probably an hour just to get like a really good

514

a really good storm so yeah i see this but hey i need to reset i need faster reset

515

true true needs to be like instant back to the next instantaneous okay yeah no click

516

it's like it's like a second right

517

or two seconds that's way too long i mean i'll deploy

518

that as we speak no it should be you fall over you should just be able to press space

519

and it goes right back space just resets all right

520

i'm doing it right now wait how do i throw the ball you hit space

521

so that that's my dough so this is the game it's actually core appa space

522

okay well yeah yeah yeah you know yeah yeah yeah okay hold on dude

523

i i do i have this i know prime i want to watch prime do it for i know

524

but i know prime would prime's gonna like not he's gonna play until he can't

525

i just lost a week of productivity from him on this one trash thanks okay hold on

526

so 602 i think is the highest score that you can get

527

and i think we've got in 601 I cleared the leaderboard before

528

What do you mean it's the highest you can possibly get?

529

The body rotation seems a little funny

530

Don't complain, just get used to it Acclimate Great point

531

Someone scored a 6 -0 -1

532

The fastest you can throw it is 90 miles per hour

533

And a strike

534

The more accurate the strike

535

Meaning it's in the middle of the strike zone

536

The more bonus points you get

537

and then the faster you throw it the more points you get okay it's all about speed and accuracy

538

all right so that's what makes it super super hard okay okay

539

but once you once you figure it out it's good prime's addicted

540

now yes i do it is it is a great game okay okay

541

it is a great game this is a a plus

542

this is a plus game for me yeah crop is this is incredible i just want to play it

543

so bad for like an hour to get

544

this like throw down nice plum did it nice job people

545

are cooking dude gg easy gets 90 miles an hour he's cheating

546

there's a cheater casey any thoughts um i'm probably the wrong target audience

547

because i like i hate quap games like so

548

so this is like almost impossible for me to judge

549

i think we should just use prime how how long prime plays

550

it for as the as the score for trash this game because

551

that that's like he's obviously the target audience right casey have you seen prime do actual quap no

552

i didn't know that i didn't know that he was a quapper

553

yeah yeah a little quick okay

554

so just to be fair

555

i have not co -opped in like in any serious capacity for for a long time casey

556

so it's going to take me a second to remember how

557

to do this hold on okay yep yep hold on give me a second

558

he just got messed up on quorop obviously so i know

559

oh my gosh what is going on he's messing up his uh messing up his muscle okay

560

i think i think i almost got it back just give me a second yep gotcha one time me

561

and prime did there we go the player coops

562

and we both played one half of the keyboard what is happening right now oh gosh okay okay oh

563

that was okay

564

that was okay give me a second there we go

565

you kind of got oh there we go i'm still not feeling

566

it i'm still not feeling it my my quap skills have clearly deteriorated oh yeah look at that now that's

567

all right one more oh my gosh we've got multiple weeks of lost productivity now

568

because you're just back on the quap train great quap is back

569

oh yeah oh yeah you get my gaming face which by the way why i can't why i can't do uh

570

why i can't do gaming and streaming because i get the most intense face

571

That isn't that good isn't that good for a game streaming?

572

Oh look did you see oh?

573

the bunny hop because I co -opped an uncontrollable about Look at that.

574

Oh, they don't call me twinkle toes for nothing.

575

Okay, buddy.

576

Do they call you twinkle toes at all?

577

I beat this name

578

Wait, you can beat there's a no that do not see how fast I'm going you are going very fast right now

579

Good recovery, good recovery.

580

Good save.

581

But this is where I get kind of into that really hard zone where you have to now do the hurdle.

582

What?

583

Nice.

584

Great.

585

Oh, dude, I had it.

586

I had it.

587

Great one.

588

All right.

589

I could get back into it, but I can't.

590

Did you play

591

Sexy Hiking or its successor, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy? uh i did i did play

592

i did play try to play getting over it for a moment

593

it is getting over it is is really hard

594

you have to really get in there i couldn't quite hit

595

the same okay as coiff coiff was like naturally spoke to me immediately okay prime great job

596

i know i'm gonna really get into this all right

597

so what about you what about uh yeah prime do you want to go

598

or me i've got i'm ready i think all right trash go ahead

599

and play read it trash i gotta hear you 11 11 s8 PM.

600

That's right.

601

That's what it says.

602

That is what it says.

603

One last migration.

604

Basura.

605

Ooh, trash in Espanol.

606

I like it.

607

Gotcha.

608

Track anything.

609

Remember everything.

610

Never lose an argument again.

611

Time to ship it.

612

Press space to ship it.

613

Gotcha.

614

V1 is live.

615

It's beautiful.

616

Let's find out who really leaves the dishes in the sand.

617

I see what digging means in this situation.

618

The next morning, walk with arrow keys, face evidence, and press space to log it with gotcha.

619

Press enter to check your gotcha log.

620

Oh, what did you do, Dean?

621

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, my.

622

The dish pile.

623

Dishes in sync day 41.

624

The fork has achieved sentience. Or sentience.

625

Oh, my God.

626

exhibit a the one

627

that started it all oh my i gotta show this to my wife she's gonna love

628

this game every cabinet door is open the kitchen looks like it's screaming

629

that's actually pretty good it's pretty good i'll close them after the photo maybe

630

four boxes it was on sale logged the tower of consumerism tagged and filed oh my goodness set to 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

631

I set it to 68, a six degree betrayal.

632

The numbers don't lie.

633

I do, but the numbers don't.

634

Oh my goodness.

635

So Tiege, I'm curious, because you had to prompt an AI to do this,

636

did you have to prompt the AI with an explanation of what

637

Trash had done with his receipts?

638

I'll be honest with you, Casey.

639

I did not have to trash go check some of the other doors too before you go.

640

I know.

641

So I was about to go.

642

Oh yeah.

643

Wait, what's this thing following me?

644

Yeah.

645

Oh, you'll find out.

646

You're digging yourself into it.

647

Oh, okay.

648

That's cute.

649

This is literally, I'm not joking though, Casey.

650

I think our podcast about the receipts app is in the training data

651

because it picked some of the exact ones without me having to do anything.

652

No way.

653

Really?

654

yeah okay are we

655

that important really common like leaving dishes in the sink is just like no no

656

because i specifically told it to go do a little bit

657

of research on some of the stuff from our podcast and everything

658

so like uh by the way this was not very many prompts either this i started this this morning

659

that so so you literally did so the ais now know about trash's app yep

660

Yeah, Trash, why don't you talk to her?

661

If Sposa wants to talk, go, gotcha.

662

What will Basura do?

663

Accused?

664

Gotcha?

665

I'm going to dig.

666

Basura, dig.

667

I'm just saying.

668

I'm supposed to use deep silence.

669

Basura has confidence, pal.

670

Let's do accuse.

671

Dish pile.

672

Presented the dish pile.

673

Exhibit A, 14 dishes, timestamped,

674

geotagged it's super effective on basura's hole those are your dishes from your ramen basura is knee deep

675

now the hole got deeper esposa use the look

676

it's super effective on basura what will basura do i'm running dude she's standing in the doorway

677

there's no running from this conversation it's supposed to use i'm fine it's a trap i still fell for it

678

oh gotcha let's do push whoa export pdf push notif push notification from the app okay he's

679

it's all the different things he can do from the app

680

i exported a 12 page pdf it was a table of context

681

it's supposed to use counter evidence oh my goodness

682

this she pulled up three years of text sorted by date

683

wasory is waist deep the hole got a lot deeper dude

684

this is insane I'm kind of confused why it keeps saying the hole got deeper

685

but it it doesn't seem to have gotten much deeper

686

it's getting wider no I mean the in the whole depth meter

687

but perspective oh the whole depth meter yeah yeah oh I was gonna pay attention to

688

that meter meter meter meter is just not connected maybe yeah yeah it says there there you go see I'm getting lower.

689

Yep.

690

It's supposed to went to the bedroom.

691

Oh my goodness.

692

Treasure.

693

Look how big my hole is.

694

You're in big trouble now.

695

Oh no. The thing I like about this game is it's, it's accuracy.

696

It's, it's, this is, this is extremely accurate.

697

This is like, it has like a good real life accuracy.

698

That literally looks like my wife too.

699

It's supposed to want to talk.

700

Go gotcha.

701

Oh my God.

702

So does this keep doing this until I get to the bottom?

703

Yeah.

704

Yeah.

705

I think, so then, right

706

so yes after you do this fight um usually it'll say maybe instead of making an app

707

i should make a game about digging we don't have to play the rest let's just see it i'm not mad

708

the whole depth the bar did go up it did go up

709

it goes up a little oh i'm sorry you feel

710

that way bad move trash yeah here we go calm down oh no

711

that's like the most triggering statement ever yeah he's gone too deep

712

i hate you well that's a little heavy -handed especially hates basura Basura won oh my god this is amazing

713

gotcha wow maybe I'll try making games that was a

714

yeah I gotta show this to my wife this is way too good this is way too good

715

oh my I have no words I have no words for

716

that that was poetry thank you thank you

717

that reminds me kind of of like the pony island sort of genre of games

718

if you guys know i don't know i don't watch my little pony

719

do you guys you guys don't know pony island you don't know the hex do you know the hex

720

i know penn island oh god all right classic all right well fine you penn island you know

721

yeah i know yes we're familiar all right prime are you ready i believe i believe i am ready

722

but i i just want to triple make sure okay

723

i just want to make sure okay see just for just for well prime you're getting

724

that set up i'll just mention a few things about the game

725

so i started that this morning

726

that was all opus 55 i wanted to test

727

it out since that's what the original tweet was i probably spent

728

i spent less than two hours probably on the game

729

how many hours do you think it's been thinking about it um

730

i had the idea very early on after trash said

731

it's a pretty good game yeah yeah yeah making one about him digging himself in a huge hole yeah um

732

i like my wife thought it was hilarious i showed her this morning as i was making it and she was like, that's really good.

733

I can't wait for that to go

734

so i knew i was on to something

735

that's called market research is anybody in the game

736

that's why is anyone in the game oh okay oh did you share

737

it yeah i shared it in the stand -up i just want to make sure

738

because yes uh okay nice i see somebody

739

i see someone joining up nice nice nice nice i'm coming hold on okay awesome awesome okay

740

so everyone enter in your name

741

okay hold on we got to share the screen does anyone want to share their screen

742

i'll share okay yeah why don't you share trash is the designated share okay prime i have a question for you.

743

I need to know the answer to this question.

744

Every time...

745

All of the games that

746

Trash showed at the beginning, maybe not so much the actual hole -digging game or the baseball game,

747

but all the ones previous to that, and then the one that TJ showed, the art was all reasonable.

748

But every time you've shown a game, it looks...

749

Great point.

750

I don't even know what I'm looking at.

751

I can't even parse what is my character.

752

What are you prompting differently that makes it so that it's unintelligible?

753

What is going on?

754

You'd be shocked that this piece of artwork that you're looking at cost over $500.

755

What?

756

What happened?

757

No, Brian, how, dude?

758

How?

759

What's going on?

760

I don't.

761

You know what?

762

I got to figure that out at another time.

763

Okay.

764

I'm not an artist.

765

All right.

766

But you're not.

767

But the AI is, you're not making the art.

768

The AI is making it.

769

And why is it making pixel art that looks okay for Teej and not for you?

770

My guess is that TJ is using real photos.

771

I didn't use any real photos, right?

772

I assume he didn't, TJ did not describe what trash looked like in English to get that good of a.

773

Yeah, but look at Teej's avatar in Casey's.

774

What is that?

775

I don't know what I'm looking at.

776

It just looks like a big mess of stuff.

777

I don't know what's happening.

778

That's a shadow you only see your avatar

779

and then you see the shadows of the other players okay well

780

i'm ready well then what am i i haven't

781

i haven't entered in mine well

782

you just look at you i don't know what yours looks like okay mine looks terrifying just in case

783

you're wondering mine looks very scary okay i'm gonna share

784

it i'm ready whatever

785

it is looks like it looks like visual noise like it loaded an image wrong

786

it looks like like the loader was broken or something it doesn't that could be

787

all right

788

so yours looks like okay yours look terrible i i will try to explain what's going on here

789

which is that we have a digging game all right

790

because i thought we're making digging games tj once again hit the uh hit the pun and

791

so how it works is i have a real digging game too yes as you can see on the side

792

there is uh left down up right uh -huh there will be a song

793

that plays and arrows

794

that come up okay depending on how accurately

795

you hit the arrows is how fast you dig okay oh

796

i love the audio it you don't have to it's not

797

that great of a song just in case you're wondering people did create

798

it depending on how fast you are how well

799

you hit the the uh arrows is how fast you dig downwards

800

if you fall off the screen revolution yeah

801

if you fall off the screen then you die

802

or you're supposed to die

803

and it's supposed to be the fastest person going down

804

i was going to put in like other types of dirt that is harder you could go left and right all right

805

But all of those I could do.

806

So instead we did this one.

807

So I'm going to hit enter.

808

Alright, so now you pretty much just have to start.

809

Oh my gosh.

810

Is it WASD or arrow keys?

811

It looks like it's WASD.

812

Alright, so I should have killed you guys.

813

Mine doesn't register any pushes no matter how accurate I am.

814

Yeah, mine's definitely going real fast.

815

So I'm just pressing down arrow and apparently that just works.

816

Okay, so that's not supposed to happen.

817

You guys are supposed to die.

818

This is not working at all.

819

It's not working at all.

820

And so I didn't try it out.

821

It's also not on the beat.

822

It's also not on the beat, dude.

823

I know it's not on the beat at all.

824

Also, you can just keep pitting down.

825

You don't have to do anything.

826

Hey, Casey, but look.

827

The networking does work, which you have to at least be impressed with that.

828

I actually don't.

829

You're not?

830

No. This is better than Call of Duty.

831

Well, that might be true, but...

832

Why is it that you move left and right

833

when you hit the things? it doesn't even make sense as a game concept like

834

if i just hit left and right i dig right

835

and left what what do you mean like why would it not be

836

that i'm digging straight it's a dance game i know

837

it's supposed to obviously it got a little bit confused it put the arrows there

838

and it just kept the arrows but it didn't actually do anything with the arrows

839

no i'm saying it's doing stuff with the arrows it's

840

that i when i dig to the right i go to the right

841

that doesn't make sense for a digging game where we're supposed to go down

842

that was part of the original idea was

843

that i'm not playing right now

844

if there would be no i dug all the way to the bottom basically

845

and just gave up i'm way down there i'm trying to actually play yes okay

846

so so so the the original idea was that you press the arrows

847

that are coming

848

and then each one of those would give you a strength of how hard you get to hit

849

and then you could choose your direction because there could be like rock

850

and rock would take like 10 hits so you'd want to go around the rock obviously a pretty difficult game.

851

Lots of arrow keys going on at that point.

852

And so I decided just to go straight down.

853

It didn't listen to my straight down instructions.

854

Instead, this is what we got.

855

Like I said, didn't have time.

856

This is where we got to.

857

You were saying last week you were all tilted at me

858

that I had to fly back to San Francisco because you were so ready for a digging game.

859

Yeah, I exaggerated.

860

Real bad.

861

Real bad.

862

I exaggerated.

863

Very, very much so.

864

I'm still laughing and I'm hitting all the ding arrows.

865

I'll show my other game.

866

TJ, you made two games?

867

Yeah, you made an actual digging game, apparently.

868

Right.

869

I don't know how you're going to top that one, though, teams.

870

Good luck.

871

I mean, you know.

872

Trash, you share again and you can show it.

873

We'll see how it works.

874

This one is way rougher because it's a much more ambitious project, but it does actually do some stuff.

875

Okay.

876

And you'll love the concept of it what in the world

877

all right where is this can you can someone share a

878

screen yeah trash is gonna share his screen screen again he's the designated now i don't think

879

so it has music again

880

but i don't think i added an audio slider i didn't think about you have to share in riverside

881

and stuff uh i can't read any of this it's too small it says new game load game import options

882

gravel empire new game so it's it's roller coaster tycoon but for digging so um

883

so trash you can hit new game all of the stuff's

884

kind of it's too small for probably the size of screen here

885

i didn't implement probably the right kind of zooming looks good on my screen screen etc

886

but so trash you can start hiring people

887

so you go to hire you get workers to come in right

888

so then then you start digging and it's a big gravel pit

889

and you're trying to basically build an empire to do as much gravel things as you can here

890

you're digging i made an actual digging game like it's about digging as well right you know what i mean

891

so then trash you've got your workers right okay

892

and then in the in the top right up

893

there there's a little um the dig like the dig icon yeah

894

that guy right there you can start planning out the spots

895

that you want dug how deep you want it to be etc then these guys will come over there

896

and then they'll start digging them or maybe not if I didn't if I pushed a broken version

897

yeah there you go that's a very deep I think you need to build a road out to them

898

Trash it's rollercoaster tycoon

899

they can't walk without getting to the dig site how much money do you have how come

900

you can just build all this so easily it's in your bottom left

901

can't they get to it you did not make a road to

902

that at all trash it's 3d that's down dude

903

you're you're gonna have to go to the like the little dry things on the top come on trash

904

i've never played roller coaster tycoon okay yeah but

905

3d works like make the road go to the tile

906

that it's on do more road

907

but can i can i just uh move this over sure yeah yeah tell them to dig somewhere else then

908

or make more footpaths

909

no no no no no no no no no no no the top the the okay this is good

910

i'm tilted i'm tilted i'm

911

so tilted right now i got it i got it i got it i don't know

912

if they can dig i think i made it though

913

so they can't dig uh

914

that deep right away trash

915

you got to start like with them with a small a small dig yeah

916

they have to build to it right unless i messed

917

it up they probably can't even do four meters why would you dig on the road trash

918

I just want to see them make it to it do one meter

919

yeah maybe you should share a screen this makes no sense okay now what

920

I thought they would dig when I was testing they dig now can I not remove these

921

they're hired no those are the people that you're hired no I'm talking about the

922

trash try put them in a crew

923

I'll check I'll check myself here I'll check myself as well

924

all right pick up pick them up

925

and put them down somewhere else all right

926

i i i am i'm i'm building oh there we go there we go i got it doing it right

927

i had to pick them up oh nice see they got the same roller coaster tycoon situation here

928

they're not digging though is it the wrong time of the day

929

they're only supposed to work during certain times of the day too

930

you also is it way too common this day crew seven to three thirty

931

no no so you can also okay

932

so trash it won't necessarily work right now

933

but see the little house icon next to the next to the road there's like you can start building buildings and machines

934

and oh you have to give them did any of them have shovels yet trash

935

i don't think we gave any of them shovels oh my

936

god what is happening okay uh how do i give it

937

a building game how do i give him a shovel

938

i tj this is fantastic i love i love the art style thanks i i need i needed one more day

939

to to do this since i started this at uh 10 a .m my time

940

which is three hours before stand -up started we can fire people

941

i don't know how to make a start though i don't know how to give them a shovel

942

i'll i'll set this up for next week guys i'll set

943

this up for next week i needed i needed just a little more time

944

i needed a little more like all right anyways on potential

945

though i feel like i get one potential grading too

946

this is really pretty good i mean

947

i like how it looks in general thank you you're up

948

yes talk to us talk to us what do you think

949

about this this i'm not gonna lie to you guys this is this is pretty rough

950

uh i guess what i'd say is um the only the only game

951

that feels like it could potentially be a game meaning like

952

as it is as it is as presented not potential so a fact that for temporary

953

uh trash is pitching game but only because the genre of

954

that game is that it's incredibly janky like the whole genre of quap games is

955

that they don't really work and so i'm not even really sure that's fair

956

because you know that's quap is kind of what you would get

957

if you didn't finish the game code right that's what quap is sort of

958

but intentionally it's like here's we didn't actually make it into a standard polish game.

959

We just hooked up these things directly to springs on the legs and good luck, right?

960

So I guess what I would say is I don't know.

961

I don't feel like there's a way to really rank anything in this case.

962

Obviously, Tiege had the best if we gave out an award for narrative.

963

Yes!

964

It was a good narrative

965

that clearly goes to tige uh for his um trash parody thank you uh thank you i just

966

but other than that i'm not sure i would say uh

967

if we went with potential

968

i'm afraid sorry much to all of your trash sorry what i actually i forgot i have loaded scenarios

969

that are halfway through the game can trash reload

970

and show where my game is in a scenario instead

971

because tracy casey i got something cool going on in the middle of the game

972

that will explain what it actually is i want

973

that's actually part of the game okay i need one more shot trash reload

974

and then go to scenarios which game travel empire of course

975

because i think um i'm gonna pull ahead a little bit maybe after

976

this all right real quick oh yeah thank you you do know

977

that you're going against like my game right like what are

978

you pulling ahead of i want to see what i my

979

vision for the game of what i set out to do okay trash there's scenarios

980

which okay we need to change the font size of this game too

981

and then just click the bottom one bottom play button the bottom one okay yeah

982

there you go okay this is more where you're supposed to get to okay just as uh

983

you get cranes they fill up dump trucks you're automating more

984

it's building a factory inside of the gravel pit as you're digging down

985

i just just at least show where the game's supposed to get to uh before

986

we get the rating you know those two trucks just drove through each other oh my gosh

987

that truck just pulled right into him there's they can do

988

that in roller coaster tycoon actually they don't do

989

that all out sorry anyways continue what i was gonna say is uh on the on the potential front uh

990

i i know everyone is gonna be like what but like honestly if if prime had actually made a game where,

991

like, so two things.

992

If you took the game that you had there and it worked at all, which it didn't, right?

993

But let's imagine that you actually did have to hit the DDR steps, right?

994

And you did a couple obvious things that you would want to do.

995

Like, for example, don't put the steps on the left.

996

Put them under your character.

997

Like, this is kind of just like game 101 stuff, right?

998

Like I said, it was a rough...

999

Okay, it was my idea.

1000

It was my idea that was going to go.

1001

If he did some of those things, that actually seemed like the most promising game to me.

1002

If you're like, which one of these would you play?

1003

I would play that game.

1004

I probably wouldn't play any of these.

1005

I don't like co -op games.

1006

Again, I said I'm kind of the wrong judge for that.

1007

Maybe that baseball game is really good.

1008

We'll let Prime be the judge of that because he clearly is the perfect judge of a co -op game.

1009

He will give it his thumbs up or thumbs down after

1010

17 hours of play starting now after i have missed several videos next week i will be glad

1011

so he will he will judge that one i i unfortunately can't maybe it's excellent

1012

so i'm not saying it's i'm not saying it's not

1013

i just i couldn't tell you uh i didn't like quop

1014

so you know i'm the wrong person uh the the digging tycoon game unfortunately just like i don't know like I think.

1015

I mean, sim games are sim games.

1016

Maybe if you, like, I don't see where the, like, interesting part of it is that makes it so,

1017

like, I'm going to want to play that.

1018

It kind of, it's like, it's one of those orgy games where there's, like, 18 ,000 windows.

1019

Sometimes those come together.

1020

You know, it's unlikely that it would.

1021

You know, maybe the AI is really good at figuring out how to put those together.

1022

Maybe it's not.

1023

I don't know.

1024

So I wouldn't give that high odds, but I would have to actually, like, see the finished thing and see

1025

if it actually feels good to like organize and does

1026

that actually you know because that's all that that's what differentiates those games um

1027

so yeah i i uh i unfortunately i apologize to everyone

1028

but i'm gonna have to give it to prime which i would also say looked the worst like it looks

1029

absolutely horrible i don't know what is going on there how to make

1030

it i'm sorry okay i don't know poison the well with the potential talk at the beginning

1031

he did he did he swerved it all around

1032

i i would just like to go out there you led the jury i did i did not

1033

but but it wasn't

1034

but it's still casey he still gets to make his own decisions okay unless you're saying

1035

that casey can't make his own decisions trash

1036

which i know you're not uh okay first off i just want to throw out there

1037

that i made up that game idea

1038

while watching sophie tucker live at red rocks

1039

that pretty good gotta see it for my birthday gotta see it for my birthday a lot of fun uh

1040

and then number two it could have been a good game you know

1041

if i would have actually had some time to set aside i think i could have made it pretty good

1042

because i did the only thing i tried on was the networking

1043

and that actually was pretty good like i watched you casey next to me

1044

and it is all like time tracked it does like time differentials and

1045

so we actually are all listening to the same song at the same moments all the arrows are in sync

1046

so everyone should have been digging in sync

1047

but uh screwed it up in my defense also i would point out

1048

that i think

1049

that judging things on their potential like these are all these are all vibe coded games

1050

and the whole point of of the ai hype cycle is

1051

to talk about potential right like no no one's talking about

1052

what we have we're talking about what we might have and

1053

so i think it is perfectly in line with the spirit

1054

of of of vibe coding to just say like well maybe someday

1055

but think about this casey if we would have taken my digging game yes

1056

if i would have like just got some off -the -shelf assets did a very little work

1057

or even try to do be better at creating assets

1058

i could have created a demo where like zoom in on the guy already picked put on the air

1059

you don't have to sell it tj just listen for a second

1060

we could have zoomed in on the guy the beats the

1061

digging things look super good go over to tj's gravel one it could have looked

1062

so good as a demo like the demo would have been out of control like

1063

if tj made a demo video it would have been

1064

so hard not to say like this game is amazing and

1065

so this is this is really what demo videos look like

1066

when you play them okay this is just what's happening right now right well why don't you guys do

1067

that why why post to your after this post your feed like i spent five dollars on tokens

1068

that i made something 10 times better than roller coaster tycoon

1069

and just show little like snippets of the thing i would never besmirch roller coaster tycoon like

1070

that i would never do that all right but i would say inspired by okay

1071

all right there you go thanks for the win i knew

1072

i'd win i knew i had a great idea all right

1073

i i knew my idea was actually good hey guys

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
