The Fork In Your Ear Ep#218 Jimonthy Crickets! - Podcast Show Notes & Summery 8-1-26 Quick Summary Tim and Nate open with the usual technical chaos—Nate's ancient camera older than his kids, USB hub murders, Windows being Windows, and a new meshy chair—before Tim scrapes himself off the floor with minimal coffee. The big gaming bombshell is Nintendo snagging a FromSoftware exclusive (Dustbloods) led by Miyazaki himself: Bloodborne-vibes, industrial revolution setting, up to eight-player PvE, and Tim is currently in the closed NDA network test. Microsoft brings four original Xbox classics to PC (Fusion Frenzy, Crimson Skies, Conker's Live and Reloaded), sparking preservation vs. "just sell it again" debate. Nate digs into the new Halo campaign on PC while Tim's wrist is still sidelining him. Entertainment covers Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Tim is all-in), American Psycho after a four-and-a-half-hour serial-killer museum visit, and the couple literally dodging the Bite of Seattle shooting by having a fight and going home.

PlayStation's self-inflicted physical games fiasco is nearing a month deep, and it seems fairly obvious at this point that nothing's going to change. The good news is that -- amongst all the chatter, arguing, and prognostication -- comes more info from the American market that indicates that Sony is pissing people off, yes, but also making a seemingly rational commercial decision from their perspective. Thus, we find ourselves in a continued bind: Through all of the screaming and insulting is salient data, should one be willing to look with sober eyes. We discuss. Plus: Marathon loses its game director, Bethesda vows to deliver a lot more Fallout, Rebel Wolves promises Mass Effect-like save migration for its nascent Blood of Dawnwalker series, NBA 2K27 skips PlayStation 4, Kratos gets recast in Amazon's God of War series, and more. We then wrap things up, as we always do, with listener inquiries from our audience. What are our expectations for Until Dawn 2? Did the elimination of crunch culture in some corners of the industry have unexpected downstream effects? Should Grand Theft Auto be held to account for the real-world violence it potentially inspires? Has Colin created a new mosquito bite-obliterating trend?

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1) CEO Lorna Blaisse and chairman Clive Carver joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's first helium sale from the Galactica project in the US and the next phase at Southern Rukwa in Tanzania. Blaisse described the sale as transformational: "We have now very much moved beyond being a pure explorer and are now an exploration and production company." Multiple wells are tied into the Galactica facility, which is moving towards continuous 24/7 operations, with a short-term offtake agreement in place and longer-term supply discussions ongoing. The joint venture is also assessing opportunities to monetise associated carbon dioxide, alongside plans for additional development wells. At Southern Rukwa, geological modelling is being refined ahead of a next phase focused on fractured basement targets, with potential cluster wells connected to a central processing facility. PVE has been appointed to manage a farm-out process, with several parties already engaged. Carver noted that key catalysts to watch include increased Colorado production, a Southern Rukwa farm-out and potential new project opportunities.

https://youtu.be/kiaY0bw-4KQ Vasily Petrenko, CEO of Another World, is passionate about making immersive free-roam virtual reality accessible to everyone. Guided by Why-Who-What-How Management, a scientific mindset, and a relentless pursuit of continuous improvement, Vasily has grown Another World from a university escape room startup into a global VR entertainment company with more than 400 signed locations across 50 countries.  We explore Vasily’s Scientific Entrepreneurship Framework: Learn How to Delegate, Hire People Better Than You, Figure Out Your Sales Formula, Grasp the Big Picture and Manage the Why, Who, What & How. Vasily explains why entrepreneurs should treat business like a scientific experiment, using failures as data to improve future decisions, and why delegation is essential to overcoming founder bottlenecks. He also shares how hiring specialists who outperform you accelerates growth, why scalable communication systems are critical for global teams, how Another World is democratizing immersive VR for communities of every size, and his vision for partnering with major entertainment brands to create the next generation of immersive experiences. — Why-Who-What-How Management with Vasily Petrenko  Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and today my guest is Vasily Petrenko, the CEO of Another World, a company that offers a solution for opening VR arenas all around the world. Vasili, welcome to the show.  Hello. Thank you for the invitation. Yep.  Yeah, it’s awesome to have you. You’re calling in from Miami, and you just showed me through the window the beautiful weather and the skyline, which is quite impressive. So what’s your story? How did you end up here, on this side of the ocean?  Yeah, thank you for asking. Actually, I started my first business in 2014 with my friends. We were thinking about starting something new, some fresh idea, and we thought about what we could do. At that time, we were writing different scenarios, participating in comedy shows, and searching for different business ideas. We found out that, at that time, classical escape rooms were very popular. We thought, “Wow, it’s entertaining people. It’s something about puzzles.” We were studying at the university at that time, and we were like, “Okay, it’s something scientific.  Make some electronics, puzzles, and so on. You need to think, you need to be smart, you need to be funny.” So it was a perfect match between me, my friends, and the business idea. The thing is, we built our first escape room, and all the money that we collected from our parents and friends—we got back all of the investment in two months. I cannot imagine a business right now where you invest money and get all of that back in two months. The thing is, that’s the main thing that allowed us to evolve in the future: we did not stop at that moment. We decided that we would invest all this money back into the business, and we started searching for new ideas.  First of all, we continued to build the best escape rooms in our city and in our country. Other owners saw that and were like, “Oh, we see your success. We want that too.” So they started calling us, like, “Can you build that business for us in another city?” So from one little business, we opened another one at the same time, which was the B2B solution—opening this type of business for others. Again, we were searching for new ideas, for new products.  Two years later, we thought, “Okay, let’s add a new product: virtual reality.” It wasn’t trending at that moment. The thing is, we hadn’t found anything that would be good for us. We were like, “Wow, this is low quality. We don’t like this.” Basically, there were so many dislikes about everything on the market that we decided we needed to make our own product. It took us about two more years to think about this idea, and in 2018 we came up with the idea of a free-roam virtual reality arenas.Share on X  So I want to correct you a little bit here. In the introduction, you said Another World VR arcades. It’s not exactly arcades. It is virtual reality arenas. And free roam, for those who might not know, means that you don’t have any limitation with wires. So it’s not like playing VR at home, where you put on the headset, sit on the couch, and play. No. Our VR arenas are from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, and the player can explore the whole arena from one corner to another. They can run, they can jump, they can interact with each other, and there can be up to 20 players simultaneously. We started this business in 2018 as an additional product for our escape room owners. It was an additional game for them. But again, over time, more and more of our partners—and we realized this ourselves—decided that this could be a separate business. Not the escape room, but the VR arena could be a business by itself. And we started doing that.  We did a rebranding, and we started providing not only the best games in the world for our partners, but also the design, brand, website, booking system, and all of that.Share on X So basically, we packed our product into the franchise. By now, this year will be the eighth year of the company, and we have 400 signed contracts all around the world in 50 countries. That means our partners either already own and operate our locations or they’re in the process of opening. They’re doing the construction and opening the business, and we’re helping them with that. So yeah, that’s the story.  That’s fantastic. So are you a licensing business, or are you a franchise business? That’s a really good question. Right now, we’re registering the franchise. I know that in some countries there are strict regulations. So today, we’re licensing our technology and games to our partners. But we want to become an official franchise, so we’re working on that right now and preparing everything for it.  That’s super exciting. So let me ask you my favorite question. What is your personal “why,” and how are you manifesting it in this business?  This is a really good question. For anything that you do, for any of your daily tasks, you should ask yourself: “Why am I doing this and not that?” So why will this idea work? It’s a really good question for you to ask yourself all the time. I’m kind of, in this case, a perfectionist. That’s both the good and the bad side of my personality. I’m also into marathons and triathlons. I’ve already done many ultras. So the good side is that I'm very intense when it comes to working hard. I will do everything so that my business succeeds. I will do everything so that I finish this marathon.Share on X  But after I finish the marathon, the next second I’m asking myself, “Where can I be better? Why did I do this or that?” It’s always about balance. It’s not about work-life balance, but even inside your work, you need to find the right balance between good and bad. I’ve been learning that over the past few years, trying to get better at it. So I think that’s the question. But still, asking yourself, “Why am I doing this and not that?” is always important, in my opinion. So your “why” is to always get better?  I would say yes. Well, okay, let me also add to that. To get better—and there’s no ideal—but there is a way to get on that path. So that’s the first thing. The second thing is that your “why” also describes how you feel about what you’re doing. It might be your work, it might be your business, it might be whatever you’re doing. Actually, my graduation was absolutely not about business. I started at the university studying cytology and genetics. So I used to be in molecular biochemistry, biology, and all of that. I was the kind of guy who was doing research for PCR tests. You might be familiar with them from the Covid..  Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Covid era of those PCR tests. So I was developing stuff like that. I know how to do that. I know all of that. But right now I’m in the entertainment business. The thing is that I really like to consider business with a scientific approach. What I mean is that business is also something where you don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. So there are a lot of hypotheses. There are a lot of ideas that you get when you’re brainstorming, alone or with your team. The thing is, first of all, there might be mistakes. There will be mistakes, and that’s absolutely normal.  Like we say in science, a negative result is also a result. So it’s all about experiments. You change one factor, you test one hypothesis, you run the experiment, you see the result, and you make a conclusion from that. If it’s a negative result, okay, don’t do that anymore. If it’s a positive result, okay, how do we scale that and do it better? Again, we might consider that as a “why” question. 342: Why-Who-What-How Management with Vasily PetrenkoShare on X  Yeah. I saw your post about the five things that you learned as an entrepreneur. That was pretty interesting. It kind of shows your scientific way of thinking about business as well. So, talking more about the science of business, this podcast is called The Management Blueprint, and what I’m looking for in every conversation is a framework that you’ve discovered while building your business that you could share with the audience, so they can maybe apply it to their own business. So think of something like three to five steps, or a mental model, or a way of thinking about things. Anything come to mind?  Yeah, actually, as I said, first of all, the scientific approach—and don’t be afraid of mistakes. I think this is mostly for young entrepreneurs. Even right now, my little kids are going to some sports, and sometimes they’re upset if something goes wrong, right? I’m trying to teach them not to be afraid. If something goes wrong, it’s just a way for you to get better. That’s the first thing. The second thing is, when you’re trying to scale, I know it’s also a mistake that many entrepreneurs or managers make.  You always think you know better how to do something, and you’re afraid to let someone else do it. I know that from my own experience. As I said, I’m a perfectionist, and if I see some task, I’m thinking, “Okay, nobody will do that better.” So first of all, try to teach yourself how to delegate. Because without that, you cannot evolve. You cannot scale. If you're doing everything by yourself, you'll be a solo entrepreneur.Share on X  You can do only one thing, and that might be enough for somebody, but you cannot build a big business that way. At some point, I realized that if I hire people and they do those challenges—those tasks that I’m giving them—even if they do them at 70% of my ideal, it will still be okay. Because five of them will do five different challenges. I’ll just check their work, save tons of my time, and give them feedback. Yes, maybe it won’t be 100% ideal in the end, but it will get closer to 80% or 90%, which is already very good. For me, it would take weeks to finish those five challenges by myself. With five different employees, it will be five times faster. Okay. So learning to delegate—that’s important. So what else is in your framework?  About delegation, the other thing I learned is to hire professionals. That’s the next step: hire those people who know better than you. Why would you hire somebody who knows less than you? Hire professionals in their areas so that they can bring value into your company. So that’s the second step after delegation. Again, for me, it’s always about finding a new idea, experimenting, and if it’s a positive result, scaling it. Then back again to a new idea. So it’s always constant loop of coming up with new hypotheses. Again, don’t sit in one place just doing what you’re already doing.  Okay. So experiment and scale what works. That’s great. That’s it? So: delegate, hire people… technicians, I think you called them? Or specialists?  Not only technicians. I mean, it could be in marketing, it could be in sales, it could be in tech… So yeah, there are so many people in my company right now who know better than I do. I don’t know how to set up a CRM system. I don’t know how to set up a Google campaign. I know, in general, some of those things, especially at the beginning when you’re hiring your first people.  You might need to dig a little bit into the area. But after some time, you just need to… I remember there was a movie—I think it was about the financial crisis of 2008—and I remember one scene. The first employee who found the problem was explaining it to his boss with too many parameters, saying, “Oh, we have an apocalypse here. That’s a crash.” His boss was like, “Oh yeah, that’s a crash.” Then his boss went to his manager and explained it in, like, three sentences. Then the top manager explained it to the CEO in two words, and the CEO was like, “Okay, I got it.”  So it’s pretty much the same thing. It’s always like that. I really like that idea of how it’s structured. In our case, again, I don’t know exactly how everything is arranged in the details, but in general, I keep it all in mind.  You see the big picture. You see the big picture, and you can communicate it.  Exactly.  Maybe that’s also another step: grasp and communicate the big picture. From that idea, I just realized one more thing—the environment for your employees, your staff, your partners. It’s really important to give them the proper instruments for how they’re going to work. Actually, you can describe the structure of the company this way: The first employees know how to do things.  The next level asks, “What are we doing?” The CEO asks, “Who is doing that?” So at some point, as the CEO, you’re deciding who will be doing those things. Top managers are thinking about what we’re going to do. Employees are thinking about how to do it and working with the tools. In this case, it’s really important to put all of this into a workable… I don’t know how to describe it… an environment that will be feasible for everybody.  If your company is growing, you need to work on the communication between different departments, between different people, and so on. Because there might be a mistake in the tech department or on the website that doesn’t allow sales or marketing to develop future things, and so on. So you need to give your team the appropriate instruments to work with. As you asked me at the beginning, yes, my team right now is around 70 or 80 people. I don’t know the exact number right now. The thing is, about half of them I don’t know personally.  I haven’t seen them in person, or even online, and they’re in different countries and different cities. So we’re working hard to make sure that, for these tasks, we have this type of CRM system. For this one, we have this type of platform. It might also be different depending on what your team is doing. For the sales department, we have one set of needs. For our tech team, it’s absolutely different. So yeah, that also matters.  Yeah. So I was thinking about what you explained—the who. The person at the top decides who will do it, then the who decides the what, and the what people decide the how. But I would say maybe above the who, you have the why.  Why. Yeah, that’s good. Why are we doing it? So this is about the mission of the company, the initial idea. So this is something, okay, maybe not the CEO. This is something the board of directors, the investors—they’re thinking, “Why are we doing that? Why are we investing our time and money into that?” So that’s absolutely true. That’s absolutely right.  Yeah. Love it. Let me switch gears here. So what drives growth in your particular company, Vasily?  We are family-friendly, so we are spreading joy and fun for people. Actually, this was one of our ideas at the very beginning when we started thinking about VR.Share on X We saw that there were some competitors, and they were doing a pretty similar product. But the thing is, they were selling their franchise for millions of dollars. Moreover, just the equipment they were using to build their arena cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. We looked at that and realized, okay, this type of business is still a business. You need to earn money. Of course, it’s fun to give people joy, but it’s a business, and a business should earn money, right?  We realized that if we made a product like that, then you could open it only in major cities like New York or Los Angeles because only there would you have enough customer traffic, market size, and money for people to get their investment back. So that’s millions of dollars of investment that you would eventually recover from this type of park or arena. We realized that our mission would be to make the same quality product—high-end, immersive virtual reality.  Virtual reality is still something that not many people have even tried, so it still looks futuristic to a lot of people. Our mission is for every kid and every adult in the world to have the opportunity to play this type of experience.Share on X How do we do that? Basically, by opening locations not only in Los Angeles and New York, but also in smaller cities. So we had to find a way for business owners to open our business. Not for millions of dollars, but for tens of thousands, or $100,000 to $200,000. That could be opened in any city—even a small city—with a little arena, a little family entertainment center (FEC), where people come, have fun, celebrate birthday parties, hold corporate events, and spend time together. What still drives us—and I’ll be honest with you—is when we get a new opening.  Just today, I had a call from Vietnam. I had a call from China. People there want to open our locations, and I’m happy about it. Not only because it helps us grow the business. The bigger the market we have, the more games we can develop, and the better we can make our product. But it’s also another point on the map. We can see, “Oh, we’re getting there.” So that’s the first thing—that more people can experience highly immersive, high-end entertainment. The other thing is, from the very beginning, I remember it was my dream that someday we would work with huge companies like Disney and Warner Bros., and develop games based on their IPs.  Just imagine creating a Harry Potter game. That would be a different level, right? That was my dream, and it still is. Only now am I getting closer to those companies and having some negotiations. That’s what drives me personally. That’s what drives us emotionally to wake up every day and do this business—for me, my employees, and everyone else. I don’t know if this question was about that…  I think that’s more of the “why” question that I asked you earlier.  Okay. So that’s the why for the company, and that’s very exciting. You’re basically democratizing this whole experience. You’re bringing it to people in smaller cities, and that’s always a huge idea. I had a client years ago who was in the floor-covering and home-decoration business. That was in Eastern Europe as well—in Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia.  He figured out a way to franchise it to people who didn’t even own real estate, who were just family businesses. He figured out a way to lease them the location and make it a viable franchise in towns with only 10,000 people. He basically cornered the market in that segment. So that’s super exciting. So, Vasily, let me ask you: What’s the one thing that you’re trying to figure out in your business right now? As I said, this big challenge of getting a famous IP… I just came back from Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, and I had a few productive meetings there with some companies. So I see a lot of business opportunities there, but it also makes me feel… I mean, when we make this kind of game, I feel proud. I feel that little Vasily—the little boy inside of me—feels like, “Oh…” If somebody had told me 20 or 25 years ago that I would be making computer games, VR games, and especially a game based on a famous Disney or other IP, I would not have believed it.  And this is what I really love. I mean, for some people it might sound like a dream. For me, it’s still a dream, even though I’m getting closer to it. So that’s my main challenge right now, to be honest. But also, I’m doing a lot of other stuff in the company. So yeah, distribution is another big challenge. Also, new markets. There are pros and cons. We’ve been growing rapidly. It’s great to have 50 countries on the map with our locations.  But just imagine that each country has a different language, mentality, and everything that comes with it. So you need to prepare additional websites, tools, CRM systems, marketing materials, videos, training—everything. It’s crazy. First of all, we need to help our partners in all of those countries grow their businesses. That’s important. Also, when I get calls and requests from new countries and new regions—like Latin America right now—we have a distributor in Latin America, so that’s a new market for us.  Of course, we’re not starting from scratch. We have some background, right? But still, in that particular territory, you need to build the business from zero. So that’s also a challenge. I gave you a few, but those are the things I’m working on every day.  Yeah, that’s fantastic. So what’s something that you would like our listeners to learn about your company, or maybe do and explore around what you’re doing? First of all, Google Another World VR. Find a location in your city or nearby. Come and try our games. Your kids will love them. I know that not all adults are gamers or whatever, so it depends on the person. But everybody should definitely try it. I’ve seen a lot of people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s playing our games multiple times and having a lot of fun. We have PvE games, which means player versus environment, where you’re on one team. For example, you and I are in one squad, and we’re killing zombies or aliens, trying to survive.  We also have PvP games, or player versus player, where we’re on different teams competing against each other. That’s a lot of fun. It’s also very competitive. We also have features like playing against other locations. Just imagine that a location in Toronto, Canada, can play against Atlanta, Georgia. We have a location there. We already have that technical feature, and we’re adding tournaments. So you can participate in tournaments locally and then play internationally. So yeah, first of all, Google our company and try our games.  You’ll love them. As I said, we’re already in 50 countries, so I think you might find a location near you—or one will be opening soon. The other thing is, if you’re a business owner looking for something to invest in, or you’re looking for new ideas, contact me or contact our company, and we’ll show you what our business consists of. Yeah, we have something to offer you. And the last thing: if you’re in the industry and you’re connected to the big players in entertainment—companies like Netflix and others—call me as well.  We’ll find a way to collaborate, cooperate, and make the best game based on those IPs and trademarks, so everybody benefits. The people who want to play our games will have even more fun playing their favorite characters. That’s what it’s all about.  Yeah, that’s amazing. So, Vasily Petrenko, CEO of Another World. Google Another World VR, check out the locations, and try these VR games. I definitely think the wind is in your sails because the younger generations grew up with games. I was on a Commodore 64 when I was a kid, but the younger generations actually grew up with VR games. So it’s going to be a great experience for all of you. And those of you listening, if you liked the show, make sure you follow us on YouTube, subscribe, and leave us a review, because every week I bring an amazing entrepreneur like Vasily onto the show. So thanks for coming, and thanks for listening. Important Links: Vasily's LinkedIn Vasily's Website

How is portal vein embolization (PVE) pushing the boundaries of liver tumor resectability, and what does it take to induce hypertrophy without compromising the remnant liver? In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, interventional radiologist Dr. David Madoff of Yale University joins Dr. Michael Barraza to discuss the pathophysiological rationale, technical considerations, and emerging clinical paradigms of performing PVE to augment the future liver remnant (FLR) prior to resection and reduce the risk of postoperative liver failure. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- This podcast is supported by RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/ --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction02:14 - IO Practice and Research07:25 - PVE Indications and Adequate FLR12:55 - Referrals and Patient Selection17:27 - PVE vs. Y90 Radiation Lobectomy22:12 - Liver Venous Deprivation25:31 - Measuring FLR Function30:11 - Procedural Planning and Technique36:36 - Preferred Embolic Agents and Challenges46:58 - Ipsilateral vs. Contralateral Access50:52 - Complications, Medications, and Follow-Up55:45 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks --- More about this episode The physicians dissect the anatomic and oncologic benchmarks used to select PVE candidates, including FLR volumetric thresholds for normal, steatotic, and cirrhotic livers. Dr. Madoff walks through his procedural technique, detailing catheter maneuvers and embolic administration, emphasizing the importance of evaluating for anatomic variants, and explaining the benefits of using an ipsilateral approach to protect the FLR. The doctors critique ongoing debates in hepatic augmentation, assess the complementary relationship between PVE and Y90 radioembolization, and discuss the outcomes and risks associated with different embolic agents. They stress the importance of patient selection and assessment protocols that go beyond static volumetric measurements to incorporate functional parameters for better prediction of regenerative kinetics and clinical outcomes. The episode concludes with a review of postprocedural follow-up and potential complications, highlighting the importance of considering pathophysiologic dynamics of both the tumor and the anticipated liver remnant to ensure successful treatment. --- Resources DRAGON Trialhttps://www.dragontrial.com/ Three hundred and one consecutive extended right hepatectomies: Evaluation of outcome based on systematic liver volumetryhttps://doi.org/10.1097/SLA.0b013e3181b674df Portal vein embolization with N-butyl-cyanoacrylate improves liver hypertrophy compared to microparticles – A Swedish multicenter cohort studyhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21210 --- BackTable Vascular & Interventional (VI) is the go-to podcast for interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists.

Introduzione e lifestyle estremo La puntata si apre con il consueto tono ironico del cast di "Il Cortocircuito". Si discute scherzosamente di chirurgia estetica estrema, citando il caso di Francesco Chiofalo e i suoi interventi (cambio colore degli occhi e tatuaggi istantanei in anestesia totale), usati come metafora per riflettere sulle insicurezze umane e sull'uso della tecnologia applicata al corpo.Lo stato di Xbox e la comunicazione di Asha Sharma Viene analizzato il recente sondaggio lanciato da Asha Sharma riguardo al branding di Xbox (scrittura maiuscola vs minuscola). Il dibattito si sposta sulla strategia comunicativa di Microsoft, criticata per concentrarsi a volte più su dettagli di forma che su rivoluzioni tecniche o esclusive di peso, riflettendo sulle difficoltà del brand nel mercato italiano.Il caso Saros e il mercato PlayStation Ampio spazio è dedicato al presunto fallimento commerciale di Saros (identificato nel discorso come titolo di punta recente). Si confrontano i dati di vendita con quelli di Returnal, analizzando come il prezzo di 80€ influisca negativamente sulle nuove IP e come la saturazione del mercato (con titoli come Resident Evil) lasci poco spazio a progetti "d'autore" spacciati per blockbuster.Successi inaspettati e strategie di publishing In contrasto con i fallimenti, si analizza il successo travolgente di Subnautica 2 e le ottime performance di Forza Horizon su Steam, nonostante i prezzi elevati delle versioni early access. Viene inoltre discusso il cambiamento nel rapporto tra sviluppatori e publisher, dove i team indipendenti tendono a mantenere maggiore autonomia produttiva.Deep dive su Marathon e Arc Riders Si discute degli aggiornamenti di Marathon (Bungie) e della sua natura "hardcore", toccando il tema delle modalità PvE e dei reset stagionali. Viene citato anche Ark Riders di Nexon, analizzando la sua capacità di generare contenuti attraverso l'interazione degli utenti piuttosto che con costanti iniezioni di asset da parte degli sviluppatori.UFO, UAP e misteri millenari La parte finale della puntata è dedicata agli UFO (ora definiti UAP). Prendendo spunto dalla desecretazione di documenti del Pentagono, il cast discute della possibilità di vita extraterrestre, citando teorie come quella della "Foresta Nera" e il curioso legame storico tra Mussolini e i primi avvistamenti in Italia.

In this action-packed live stream episode of HVAC School, host Bryan is joined by Eric Kaiser, Ty Branaman, and Roman Baugh for a continuation of a deep-dive conversation on vacuum practices — picking up where a previous episode left off with Andrew Greaves and Jim Bergmann. The team sets out to both reinforce the foundational best practices every HVAC technician should follow and to explore some genuinely uncharted scientific territory around how vacuum gauges actually work, how refrigerant contaminates micron gauge readings, and what really happens to moisture inside a system when temperatures drop below freezing. A central revelation of the episode is Eric's explanation that modern electronic vacuum (micron) gauges do not actually measure pressure directly — they measure heat transfer and translate it into a pressure reading. Because these gauges are calibrated to nitrogen or air, the presence of refrigerant vapor in a system (which has roughly three times the heat conductivity of nitrogen) can cause the gauge to display a falsely high reading. This means a technician could believe the system still has poor vacuum when it may actually be further along than indicated — or, more concerning, that a system appears to have passed vacuum when contamination is still present. The team acknowledges that controlled experiments are needed to quantify exactly how much refrigerant affects the reading, and they commit to designing those tests. The conversation then pivots into the physics of water at the triple point — the precise pressure (4,580 microns) and temperature (32°F) at which water can exist simultaneously as solid, liquid, and vapor. Eric walks the audience through a phase diagram built from International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam data, explaining that once pressure drops below the triple point, liquid water no longer exists. Any moisture in the system either sublimes directly from solid ice to vapor or remains frozen. This has major practical implications: a system with ice inside can still pull down to a very deep vacuum, but will not pass a decay test until that ice is fully sublimated — which requires both sufficient vacuum depth and available heat energy. The colder the ambient environment, the deeper the vacuum must go to create the temperature differential needed to drive sublimation. The episode wraps with an illuminating discussion on refrigerant oils — specifically the differences between POE (polyolester) and PVE (polyvinyl ether) oils and how each interacts with moisture in fundamentally different ways. POE chemically bonds with water through hydrolysis, breaking down into acid and alcohol and permanently degrading the oil. PVE, on the other hand, physically traps moisture through surface tension and can hold up to twice as much water as POE, but remains chemically stable. This distinction affects vacuum strategy, dryer sizing, and long-term system reliability — particularly in VRF and cold-climate heat pump systems where compressor oil management is far more complex. Topics Covered Core vacuum best practices refresher: large hoses, removing valve cores, skipping the manifold, using clean pump oil, micron gauge placement, and decay testing Why micron gauges measure heat transfer — not pressure — and how refrigerant vapor causes false-high readings on the gauge The impact of refrigerant retained in compressor oil on vacuum accuracy and the potential role of nitrogen sweeps in displacing refrigerant molecules Triple point science: what happens to moisture when pressure drops below 4,580 microns and why liquid water no longer exists below that threshold How ice inside a system can allow a deep vacuum pull-down while still failing a decay test, and what that means for cold-climate HVAC work The role of heat during evacuation: why adding heat accelerates moisture removal and how deep vacuum increases temperature differential to drive sublimation Cold-climate challenges: vacuum pump limitations, micron gauge accuracy at low temperatures, and the physics of dry air in freezing environments Triple evacuation and nitrogen purging: whether nitrogen disrupts oil pockets, displaces refrigerant, or both — and why the team wants to test it Nitrogen tank quality concerns: the possibility that low-grade nitrogen could introduce moisture and whether an inline dryer would help Using system flush chemicals: why Ty cautions against flushing agents and the risks of adding additional chemicals that break down oil POE vs. PVE oil chemistry: how POE undergoes hydrolysis when exposed to moisture (creating acid) versus how PVE physically traps water without chemical breakdown Dryer strategy for large commercial systems, VRF, and VRV: filter dryer sizing, core pulls, oil sampling, and why an "oil dialysis machine" would be a game-changer Plans for future controlled experiments: testing refrigerant effects on micron gauges, ice behavior at various temperatures, and vacuum performance in cold climates Industry influence over time: how community-driven knowledge sharing has already shifted vacuum and refrigerant practices over the past decade Whether you're a residential technician looking to sharpen the fundamentals or a commercial refrigeration specialist wrestling with VRF oil contamination, this episode delivers both practical takeaways and a front-row seat to the scientific inquiry that drives best practices forward. As Bryan puts it: "Don't wait for us — if you want to do the experiment, be part of the conversation."   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Featuring: Ace, Ashgar, Belghast, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We were out last week due to various scheduling issues, but led off the show with a bit of a message about Bel going through Chemo and maybe having scheduling issues every other week. From there, we talk a bit about the Artemis II mission and how wild it is to experience "Moon Joy", as we enter a new phase of space exploration.  Ash talks a bit about the Rabbit and Steel update, and Tam talks about the wild experience of playing Screamer.  From there, we talk quite a bit about the Promise Mascot Agency and what a weird gem of a game it is, and how the developer is maybe one to watch going forward.  We talk a bit about Last Epoch and the progress each of us makes, and how Tam was able to lean entirely into his player fantasy…  and at the same time complete more of the game than I think any of us have, as he dropped Uber Aberroth.  Tam also discusses how sometimes it is just best to nuke your emulator devices and start from scratch, and then we wrap things up with a bit of discussion about upcoming changes to Dune Awakening and how they "get it" and are changing the game to reflect the PVE nature of its player base.   Topics Discussed: A Very Special Message Experiencing Moon Joy Rabbit & Steel Update Screamer Promise Mascot Agency Last Epoch Tam gets his player fantasy Nuking Your Device Rebuilding a Ayn Thor Dune Awakening Gets It

What to do, what to do about Marathon? The crew considers radical shock therapy with surprising answers and solutions. Deadlock pushes systems design to its logical extreme in a few shooters that are just starting to play with, but does it actually have an audience? Take bets now.We discuss:● Deadlock's systems-first design philosophy◦ Layered stat architecture across weapon, vitality, and spirit◦ Scaling curves that turn every component into a progression vector◦ The role of the Action and X-Y-Z plane crosshairs● Marathon's core tension: retention without acquisition◦ Strong engagement signals versus weak top-of-funnel growth◦ Why extraction shooters remain a constrained TAM◦ Arc Raiders reframing the genre through accessibility◦ Why tuning economy variables won't solve an acquisition problem● Extraction as a product, not a feature◦ Why the loop requires full-system commitment, not a side mode◦ The importance of PvE readability and social cooperation◦ Session design, server economics, and continuous player insertion

In this interview, we sit down with a developer and community manager from Incursion Red River to talk about the journey of building the game, the challenges of Early Access, and what's coming next.We dive into:The origins of Incursion Red RiverHow the team is building a PvE-focused extraction shooterThe importance of community feedbackThe addition of new Lead AI Developer SolarintHow AI is evolving in the gameFuture updates, maps, and long-term visionIf you're into tactical shooters, extraction games, or game development, this is a must-watch.

Adam Orth chats with Virgil Watkins, the design director behind Embark Studios' smash hit extraction shooter, Arc Raiders. Together they discuss his early passion in modding and how it led to him joining Embark Studios as a Technical Designer on the initial PVE version of Arc Raiders; how internal testing shaped the system design and core experience of the PvPvE version; the ways they're seeking to improve the game post-launch; and how they balance handcrafted experiences with randomness in the deadly Arc encounters.

Extraction shooters are finally confronting their identity crisis. Is Marathon the answer, or just another branch of the same lineage?Phil, Sides, and Anjos break down a pivotal moment for shooters: Highguard's collapse, Marathon's high-stakes launch, and Overwatch's unexpected resurgence. The debate rage on: are we watching the evolution of battle royale into something more persistent, or just another iteration of Tarkov's legacy?We discuss:● Highguard's shutdown and the limits of modern marketing○ Hate-playing, sentiment collapse, and losing control of narrative post-launch● Marathon's design thesis○ Persistent battle royale vs traditional extraction shooter lineage○ Lower friction loops, faster re-entry, and softened risk systems● The genre split○ Arc Raiders as first-principles PvE extraction○ Marathon as PvP-first with extraction layered on top● The missing innovation question○ What is Marathon's true “Bungie leap” beyond sandbox combat + loot?● Overwatch's resurgence○ Systems-driven live ops vs content arms race with Marvel Rivals● The future of shooter ecosystems○ Extraction, hero shooters, and the erosion of “black hole” games

We've talked about Dropout.tv, best streaming service the internet.01:44.46Seanyeah, yeah. Yeah, college humor.01:49.32Andrewon the internet01:52.82SeanOh,01:52.96Andrewuh they have a it's not a new show i've but i i was finally catching up uh what is it called the parlor room where it's like a they played board comedians played board games and you watch so it's like right up my fucking alley i'm cursing a lot today sorry02:05.75Seancool.02:07.93SeanNice. It's okay. It's because don't have any sleep. I get it.02:13.93SeanUnlike me, who slept a lot.02:18.89Andrewuh have you ever heard of blood on the clock tower02:21.94SeanNo, no, no,02:22.83AndrewIt's like a deception game, kind of like mafia kind of vibes, but more complicated and there's, it looks really fun. The thing that makes it, I think, complicated is like the players, the roles that players get can change every time.02:37.96AndrewAnd you, there are multiple players who can have roles where they think they're one thing, but they're actually something else. They're getting, false information.02:44.69Seanno.02:46.28AndrewSo you can be the marionette, which is like you're controlled by like the big bad. You can be a drunk. You can also like get poisoned or something. And then there's like so there's all this stuff where you're like trying to piece things together, but you have to also consider the fact that you might have incorrect information.03:08.46Andrewlike the stuff you think you know about yourself might be wrong. It's chaotic as hell.03:12.93Seanthat's pretty cool that's pretty yeah that's pretty cool interesting okay that's it every time i hear deception game and i hear like mafia i kind of roll my eyes and internally just because i can't like there's there's just so many you know there's just so many of this like but but i think i think that's a nice that's like a03:14.95AndrewSuper fun. Yeah.03:25.54AndrewSure.03:29.61AndrewI know.03:35.68Seanan Actually, interesting spin on it.03:35.71Andrewyeah Some of them are a lot better than others.03:37.95SeanYeah.03:37.98Andrewlike kuup is pretty fun. Secret Hitler is pretty fun. Generally I don't love deception games though because I like i hate lying, I'm a terrible liar.03:47.70AndrewBut my strategy is usually just to be as chao like as chaotic and suspicious as hell even when I'm not the the like person so that that way if I do get the like big bad, everyone's just like Andrew's just being Andrew, he's just an idiot.03:55.67SeanI see.04:02.77Andrewlike Ignore him.04:03.10SeanNice. Nice.04:05.49Andrewi have to like access access because i know i'm going to access when i'm uh actually in trouble04:13.25Seanit's like It's like the opposite of like just always pretending you're bad at lying. So everyone thinks always telling the truth.04:22.08Andrewit's kind of the same thing it's kind of the same thing right yeah04:22.31SeanAnyway. you have you yeah okay anyway do you have do have a favorite game?04:29.48AndrewUh, yes, but it's like kind of niche. I think my favorite board game is Everdell.04:33.68SeanOK.04:36.62SeanI've heard of that.04:36.95Andrewit it's It's an engine builder where you're living in like kind of like a Redwall-esque world where you've got you're playing as little forest creatures and you're building your little forest like forest kingdom machine thing.04:51.88AndrewAnd and and it's fun because it's like you can't be that cutthroat with the other players. You're kind of playing your own game and there's a little bit of like sabotage and stuff.04:58.23SeanMm.05:01.71Andrewbut For someone who's very competitive, and it you know my friends tend to get pissed off at me when we play like really cutthroat games, like Settlers or you know something.05:11.80SeanGotcha.05:13.03AndrewAnd so it's nice because it keeps keeps everybody happier. Also a big fan of, oh, what's the haunted house on the hill? Betrayal at the house on the hill.05:25.57AndrewSo much fun. Campy, kitschy, good vibes.05:31.24SeanNice. The PvE one doesn't sound fun at all. Just saying. As as also as Everdell.05:37.77AndrewThe which one?05:40.20Seanlike you You just completely sold me again...

Boats are fun! New World will officially shutdown its servers January 31, 2027. We are still there! Keep an eye on the channel in nomads for a possible farewell as the end draws near. Valheim 5 Year Celebration and Regular Update. AIE Valheim Community Server Information is pinned in the AIE Discord #Nomads channel WoW Noob Raid had a great final run of Manaforge Omega on pre-Midnight launch – clearing both Normal and Heroic! Dankinia will be taking a break until the first raid in Midnight is released, around early April. Midnight launched on 3/2, with early access for folks who prepurchased expected to begin 2/27. Lots more about Midnight from our lovely guests later in the show. Player housing. This new feature is time consuming but a great deal of fun. The creativity of our Guildies is amazing to behold! WoW Classic As Jehdai pointed out, we have our first 70 (Sethos) and light activity on the 20th Anniversary TBC launch on Dreamscythed Horde side. We have the guild available with the guild bank open and invite others to join us in Outland. In other Classic news: Reminder that there are now 3 launchers for Classic (‘Original’, ‘Anniversary’, ‘Era’) “Original” Classic is progressing with Mists of Pandaria. The guild is available on Horde side on Galakras. If I have this right, MoP classic uses the modern guild interface so we have the new interface showing 651 members. “Anniversary” Classic which is now at TBC as mentioned above. “Era” classic is a separate launcher with 3 game modes: ‘Classic Era’ which is forever frozen in the original game (pre-TBC). We were on Mankrik here but really no activity or guild. “Season of Discovery” which is where experiments were performed by the devs which some expect may lead to the anticipated “Classic Plus” many hope for. We have no real activity there currently. “Hardcore” is the 3rd game mode in the Era client and probably our 2nd most active within the classic modes. We have an Alliance side guild on Doomhowl and some activity on the Horde side of Doomhowl but no guild currently. Lars plans to return to his attempt at a “Solo Self-Found” run to 60 in Hardcore but that has been on pause for quite some time. We did have guild members make it to 60 on the hardcore server previously. Ravisant is ProffessorWC or Sethos one of the raid leaders from HoG SWTOR In Swtor this week, we are ready for Update 7.8.1, Master’s Enigma. It will bring a story piece, Galactic Seasons 10, new date nights, and the Spring Abundance Festival. The story finale is coming in the June timeframe to make room for 8.0 at the end of the year. We continue to do our MFN on Tuesday nights. Please join us. There are no gear or level requirements, but you may need to have gotten your personal ship as we do tend to travel about.

Makes no sense that so many games have PVE options for those that don't want to strictly play PVP modes.

In this episode of the Fateless Podcast, the team discusses the Pantheon system in Godforge and its role in shaping the game's community and endgame. They explain why Pantheons start at 20 players and grow to 40, how Pantheon clusters may connect groups of players, and debate future Pantheon Wars, including PvP battles and cooperative PvE boss content. The episode also touches on ideas like Pantheon tech trees, custom Pantheon bosses, shops, and unique rewards, all designed to make Pantheons a core part of Godforge's social gameplay.Fateless is a dynamic game studio founded by passionate content creators Simon Lockerby (Hellhades), Dan Francis (Phixion), and Hisham Saleh (Sham). Our mission is to create community-driven, immersive RPG Hero Collector games that emphasize player agency, storytelling, and strategic gameplay.

TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!This week on Good2Game Radio, Tony, Vance, and Jaime dive headfirst into the beautiful chaos that is Arc Raiders—a game that doubles as a looter-shooter and a full-blown social experiment. Vance graduates from rookie hand-holding to level-30 menace, only to discover betrayal, “friendly” strangers, and the sacred art of getting shot in the back during boss fights. The crew debates PvE vs PvP, weekend warriors, rats (the human kind), and why trusting anyone in Arc Raiders is a terrible life choice. Loot is lost, lessons are learned, and nobody puts their gun away again.Support the show https://discord.gg/3yfGt9gahB

We start with breaking corporate news as Warner Bros. Discovery is expected to reject Paramount's latest acquisition offer, choosing instead to move forward with its $82.7 billion Netflix deal. If finalized, Netflix would gain control of Warner Bros. Games, including massive IP like Mortal Kombat, DC, Harry Potter, and more. We discuss whether Netflix will license these franchises out—or finally go all-in on games—and what this could mean for the future of AAA development. Next, we look at alarming new data showing US hardware sales and physical game spending just hit their worst November in 30 years. Despite heavy Black Friday promotions, record-high console prices dragged sales down, even as PS5 emerged as the best-selling console for the month. We break down what this says about the future of physical games, hardware pricing, and consumer behavior. Then we tackle the ongoing AI controversy in game development, as Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds forcefully to backlash over AI usage following The Game Awards. Vincke makes it clear: artists are not being replaced. We discuss where AI fits responsibly in modern game development—and where players are drawing the line. The episode also covers Bungie's major Marathon update, including a March 2026 release date, revamped visuals, deeper PvE, hardcore gameplay shifts, solo playlists, expanded weapon mod systems, and new lore teases. After months of controversy, Bungie appears to be rebuilding trust—so we ask: Is Marathon finally back on track? And can it stand alongside competitors like Arc Raiders? Plus, listener questions and reactions on Bungie, PlayStation strategy, and shooter fatigue.

Lured Up Podcast 374 Live Streamed on - 12/2/2025 Publish Date - 12/5/2025 It's officially Delibird season and Adam already has a laser focus on the delivery Pokémon. He will have to wait a little longer, but there is plenty to do in the meantime, with December looking to be very strong. We kick things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay, which kept many Trainers very busy. Final Justice closed out Tales of Transformation, with DMAX Lugia Max Battle Day and Pikipek Community Day caring us right to the launch of Precious Paths. With Precious Paths kicking off, we immediately see notice the shift in wild encounters as we are thrust right into the Journey to Paldea event. It brings the Nacli line to our Pokedex, and brings some pretty solid Three-Star Raids. Shadow Raids will be a focus for many this month, as Shadow Heatran slides in, whose typing and heavy DPS will make it very usable in PVE. Thanks to GO Hub and Pokébattler, we put together a little Raid guide and Battle Party, whoop-whoop. We take a peek at the December Content Update and plot everything out on our Google Calendar. With no new Tier-Five or Mega Raid Bosses, we will let the events lead the charge. This upcoming weekend's Community Day round-up will get things going as we wait for the two part Holiday event to come in a few weeks. A new month also means a new GO Pass, and the Timed Incubator returns, which will help out a lot of Trainers that need to hatch eggs to level up. The Well Armed event and GO Tour details round out or event coverage and get us to our episode discussion. We take a look at what the ideal event would feel like. What types of gameplay would you like to see in an event, and what would keep you engaged? Do those desires change when playing in different geographies or with different size groups? Get in touch with us and keep the conversation going? What would make up your perfect Pokémon GO event?

A new rumor claims that DuskBlood was greenlit even before Sekiro's marketing cycle and has gone through the longest pure gameplay prototyping phase of any FromSoftware game. The leak also suggests the title will feature both PVE and PVP with innovative mechanics that the team is reportedly very proud of. In today's episode, we break down what this rumor could mean, how it fits into FromSoftware's release timeline, and why fans are already hyped about the possibilities.Content Creation Gear https://n64josh.com/elgato use code N64JoshFor ad-free episodes, subscribe here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/nintendo-power-cast/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with meMy Nintendo Switch Recommendations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://n64josh.com/amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://n64josh.com/discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
