Hi, I'm Mike, owner and operator of MarketPiper.com, a web analytics company, and I'm just here to learn more about connectivity, pretty much. I'm Dane, my favorite life hack is smooth DIY projects, and I'm a computer science student. My name is Laurel, I work at O'Reilly Media, we're interested in all sorts of technology, especially internet of things, drones, people, and what I'm seeing as a theme here is kindness and how we are kind to each other as we delve more into technology. I'm Heather, I am a citizen of the internet, I don't know, I mean like the work I do, not super pertinent to this conference. I went to ITP at NYU, the Interactive Telecommunications Program, if you want to guess what that actually means, and yeah, I'm just here to listen mostly. Hi, I'm Ivan, I'm a programmer and a computer artist, and I teach programming at NYU. I just have a general kind of interest in technology, I'm just here to hang out with Heather and you guys. Hi, I'm Ben, I'm the co-founder and CEO of an open source social web platform called Known, I believe really strongly that the next Facebook is the web. I'm Erin, I'm the other co-founder of Known, so it's an open source platform for running your own websites and connecting with other people online through social networks and through this decentralized network that we're building, and I'm interested in social interactions online and what people do with them. This is really strange having just, anyway, I'm Sarah Goss, I'm a student of museum studies, I'm an undergrad, I'm just mostly interested in using social media as an institution and kind of what that's like and what might be as Facebook and other kinds of social media are evolving. Hi, I'm Yanis, I'm a researcher at the Harvard Design School and my work focuses on urban infrastructure systems and how to use information technology to improve their sustainability. I'm CJ Carr, I make things. I'm Laura Newhouse, I'm interested in our dress codes. Hi, I'm Leo Canty, I don't do any work, I'm done with that, so I pursue things on an intellectual level and right now I'm seeking the answer to what will humans do when robots do all the work. I'm Irv and I'm a professor of computer science, a topic that really fascinates me is the unintended consequences of technology, both positive and negative. Ciao, my name is Leah and I'm visiting here at Comparative Media Studies, I'm a sociologist and I'm really interested in that. Yeah, so I'm Patrick and like I said, I studied Harvard and I'm also very passionate about technology. So maybe before we start you want to do some introductory remarks? So we all know, we're all connected all the time, we are always online and one of the most dynamic developments of the past decade on the online has been the rise of social network sites, we all know that and the past decade has been really characterized by persistence of content, by shareability of content, right, searchability, but now that seems to be changing with the rise of the ephemeral apps that are kind of transforming the way we perceive others online, how we are presenting ourselves to others through the internet and we're moving towards, it seems like we're moving towards this approach where before we were using all these different social media applications as a form of exhibition, we were just saying something and then it would stay there and people could interact with it at a later point in time and now it seems like we're moving from the exhibition to the experience for itself with apps like Snapchat or other ephemeral apps. So we wanted to find out what do you think about what the future of the internet is going to look like, is it going to be fully ephemeral, will it be something that will still persist, is Facebook going to stay, is Facebook going to be replaced, what in your opinion is kind of the future of social online, how are we going to interact with each other say in 10 years? Do you have any ideas about that? Yes, so maybe more tangible, you can talk about things that like sort of problems in your life, like things that are really troubling you right now that you would like to see improved and then because otherwise it's a little bit off the cuff. So what are some things that currently you're doing and you see they could be done in a different way or they could be done better and then we can start from there. I think it doesn't have to be related to social because as Ben was talking about, he believes the next Facebook is web, right? So just as when Google was the next, like people ask what's the next Google, people didn't really look into social networking, right? So it doesn't have to be that sort of area. Most likely will not be social networking, which is the next Facebook, right? Ben, what do you think? So you said web was important. So I mean, I think you can think of the apps that we all use. So Facebook, Snapchat and so on, really still as proofs of concept were really at the beginning of development of these technologies. And I think the problem that we have right now is we're running, you know, we've gone down this road of taking what have been very small proofs of concept to kind of their logical conclusion, which is, you know, very big, you know, billions of users on these proofs of concept. But the because of the way they've been built, a very small number of companies actually own our interactions. And because of that, they actually own the form and content of our interactions as well. Their design decisions actually affect the way we all converse with each other. And so the big change that lots of people and Tantek has spearheaded a community that has really, you know, is helping to change that.  How do you think that would look like, like specifically, like, you know, I think it would, you know, we're talking about sort of cyborgs here. I think it's very personal. I think it isn't a one size fits all kind of mentality. It's actually lots of personal technologies that can talk to each other, you know, that have enough in common that they can actually interact with each other rather than a one size fits all, we're all using this social wall. We're all using these profiles kind of experience. Do you see any companies doing that right now? There are some projects that are doing it right now. We're trying, you know, we're trying to do this. There are other projects that are doing this. The indie web community is certainly looking at this kind of thing. There's other, there's certainly projects that are up and coming. There is beginning, we're beginning to see a swing back towards individuality, I think on the internet. So this is quite interesting. So you're mentioning individuality and kind of a conscious refusal of the existing Cuban platforms, right? And this is what Tantek has been doing as well, right? Saying, I have my own website, I put my content on my own website and only then link that to Twitter, so that people can interact with it. Could you maybe talk kind of more about the philosophy that you have? So I actually thought your first question about what's going to be in 10 years. What was the question again? Can you repeat the question about 10 years? So what is the social intent is going to look like in 10 years? OK. Is it going to be like people having like their own websites? Is it going to be really individual or what do you think about it?  Anybody? Some people? OK, a few of you. How many of you have pagers today? None of you. OK. So here's my prediction. I'll start with this. At the beginning of the year, I gave up a phone number. I don't have a phone number anymore. I just use this device. You can call it a phone. It kind of vaguely gives you that kind of functionality. In 10 years, I predict all of you will have your own site. You'll just call it a site. Like I have a site and it'll be tied to one or more of your devices that'll just work seamlessly pair with each other. Some of you will probably still have phones to sort of talk to the old world.  And all you will have is you'll have a site. You'll buy a device. You'll pay some provider for site service. And that's how you'll interact with everyone. You'll sign into things with your site. It'll just be a thing that everyone just has a site. Just like today, everyone has a cell. And it's one of those obvious profound changes that's going to happen and flip so fast that people will be like, well, of course that was going to happen. Why didn't we all see it coming? And some of us are actively working to make that happen as fast as possible. Can you talk a little bit about your own work and how you're trying to make that happen? OK. Just really briefly. In 2009, I got very frustrated with Twitter. So essentially, I built a clone for publishing short text notes on my own site. And from then, I decided starting with 2010, January 1st, I would no longer post content first on Twitter. So since then, every tweet that you see from at T got posted to tauntik.com, copied to Twitter. And then from there, Twitter copied it to Facebook. I also don't post natively on Facebook either. Last year, because my parents started calling me on FaceTime instead of on the phone, I decided, oh, well, let me see if I can just use my iPod and not my cell phone, which I'll leave in my backpack. And so then this year, I stopped using that. So phone number as identity is one of those things that will also go away, I predict. Because we're going to try all these things and make it much easier for people to do. So speaking of identity, are you seeing that a site identifier will be much easier to actually identify who people are versus a social security number or a telephone number like John Smith, right? He's kind of screwed if he has johnsmith.com. So he has to somehow have a very unique identifier. But then also we use identity to confirm so many things and purchases, important real-life scenarios. So what does this site kind of, is it a number? Is it always still going to be a number? Well, do you know your own phone number, right? Do you know all your credit card numbers? No. Do you know your IP address? No. The same thing will be true. I see what you're saying. Yeah, so one number for all the things. Well, it won't be a number. It'll just be your name or your site that you've chosen by whatever name. Like phone numbers are no better than IP addresses. It's kind of ridiculous. It's just as ridiculous to remember a phone number as it is to remember an IP address. It makes no sense. This actually brings us to a really interesting point about identity and what it means online, right? Because we are given a name. There is a wallet name as we call it, right? Something that's on your ID, something that's on your credit card. But online, if you come to create your own site, you can choose the name you want to be identified with, right? So what do you think about kind of the real name web? What do you think about the implications of choosing your own name and having the freedom of choosing an identity marker that will be there potentially forever online? Have you seen the movie Her? And there was also... Sorry for my English, I just came from Italy. There is also this lot of conference here in MIT about verbal technologies and about someone an inhuman actor that talked to you saying could be your coach, could be... So I think that it's, of course, an old question. The philosopher Bruno Latour talked about reassembling the social. To think the social as an interaction between human and non-human actors and also you can have this kind of identity that come out from the interaction with these non-human. Now we can see just a trace of these when you buy things to Amazon. After Amazon tell you who are you. Like, you can be interested in this and that and there is a kind of memory of you there that is also a construction, a dynamic construction of your identity. So if I think an interactive word in the future I think a kind of mixed talking about yourself also. Do you think that such an identity should be fluid or should it be fixed with a certain site? Should it be something that crosses different platforms or should it be... Do you want to have an identity on each and every single platform like Amazon and so on? I think that... I'm not deterministic. So there is in technological terms there is a cultural change first that meets a technology and I think that it will be really fluid. Really fluid. Maybe there is no at the moment technology that you can... For example, yesterday I don't know there was an interesting conference on news how we stay all the time in contact and in connection with news and if you do not front line stuff like that. And they are looking at the mobile. The mobile it will be the future but now there is no technology that supports this because of a technological problem but I think everything will be converged in one platform that is really... So if I understood your question you were wondering is it a good idea if we have one identity on all platforms and I guess I would wonder if it's a good idea that we have one identity at all. We do have different personas in different environments. I'm in my professional persona right now and later I'll be in a playful persona with my family. Should it be that all those personas should be merged into one or should they be separated? So I think there is a point to be made there about control and choice and going back to this morning privacy. I mean we all have... Really we do all have different identities. We all have different facets to who we are. Some of those identities are more public than others and really it's got to be... I mean the danger is if we have an identifier that is enforced on us and it is enforced that we have a single identifier. If we have the ability to create as many identifiers as we need that's an empowering platform. That allows us to communicate as we do in real life and there's a real difference there and I think that's something that the existing social platforms really struggle with and partially because they don't have a broad awareness because of that sort of composition of the different kinds of identities and the different kinds of struggles that people can actually have. I would add to that also we've done a lot of talking over the last few months with a whole variety of different people from all different wakes of life to find out what they think about their identity and their profiles online and how they use social media and how they use their websites and there are definitely people out there who have in their mind a sort of singular online identity and they maintain that across the various social profiles and different websites that they participate in and some people very much cater personas of themselves to different social networks and a lot of times it comes down to the audience and the community on those social networks and some people have said it's easier if they understand the audience or the community on that social network it's easier for them to understand who they're communicating with and then they tailor that persona that part of themselves and their communications to that audience or that community and if they join a new social network or a new group of people where they don't have a clear understanding of who those people are it's harder for them to interact because they're not really sure what part of me in my showcasing what kind of conversations are we having so you might hear people say they have a profile on LinkedIn and that's a very professional business side of themselves and they have a profile on Facebook and that's a very personal family side of themselves and they don't necessarily want those two merged together and really closely tied as a singular identity but other people don't care as much and don't mind as much having all those tied together and just sort of sharing the same information with all those groups of people and some people draw very strong lines and to the point of using completely different names different avatars, different images with different groups of people and different communities online Do you think we'll see more segmentation or less segmentation of identities online? I think the closest thing I could think of right now is it's sort of like email addresses we probably all have at least one email address and probably we've had more than one over time some of us probably have just one main email address right now that we use some of us might have a personal email address and a work email address and our work email address might have changed over time and some people have a single email address that they actually share with their family and that family just uses one email address and that is the singular address that that group of people used to communicate with other people and we have the ability right now if we wanted to set up multiple email addresses associated with different jobs or different projects or different aspects of our lives or different groups of people that we're communicating with and I think it depends on the individual and who they're trying to reach who they're communicating with and it is very easy right now for lots of people to establish those sort of channels of communication and I think in the future maybe email addresses aren't the primary method of communication but whatever is the primary method of communication people will probably treat that in a similar way so I just want to add a really short addition to that which is that I have four primary email addresses right now and it's a complete pain in the ass and so anything that allows and I definitely have more facets than that to my identity so whatever platform exists in the future has to be easier than managing my four email addresses on this phone which is just cognitively horrible I don't think we have the right user interfaces for that I absolutely agree, multi-homing is a huge pain in the ass excuse my French but we had that same phenomenon when Facebook launched people were on MySpace people were on Orchid, on Friendster and for a certain period of time they were maintaining a number of separate accounts and kind of growing different personas on these sites and then at some point all these things converged so is this where we're going? So every time there's a new app that is launched will there be this certain period of time where people have multiple accounts but in the end one of them will prevail or how do you see that? I hope not, I hope they don't go into one I mean in the same way it is a pain no question, I mean I have five emails that I'm working with right now but in the same way that we have different physical spaces that we go into and behave in different ways we can have different social spaces online that we go into and behave in different ways and to me that's an advantage, not a disadvantage even though it requires you to remember where you are now and who am I with now but that's part of being human right we associate in different ways in different places So I don't think different spaces and identity are sort of like mutually exclusive so I think if you look at the real world you have one identity and then you have different layers with the new identity and you just decide to share different layers to different people right and so I think in the future what you will see is basically the online world will replicate whatever is happening in the real world and so I think there will just be one sort of identity and then you decide who you want to share what kind of parts of the identity you want to share with other people but I think we don't want to go back to the pre-Facebook era where everybody is going to be anonymous and I think we're very segmented into this way where people have sort of a passport online and you know it's like their identity and it's really entrenched and Facebook is really driving this you know so yeah so maybe if we go back to the initial question which was what is the next Facebook I think a really interesting question is to ask yourself how did you look at the future from the past right so if you looked 10 years ago you know the big thing was search as I mentioned previously but you didn't really see Facebook coming right Google Eric Schmidt always regrets that that you know he hasn't invested enough into social networking so like what do you think are some sort of trends right now and Peter Thiel likes to talk about that when he says what are some sort of ideas that nobody agrees with you on like do you see some companies or do you see some trends that like you really see there's potential like Apple you know when Steve Jobs was still head of Apple sort of like where do you see like innovation coming from and where do you see sort of you know the sort of the next Facebook coming from I talked to one of the guys at the Mozilla Foundation and he said they were trying to design and a internet identity and at the user agent level right on that a little bit so what does that mean so your browser is the identity which if apps want to grab a content from you you as what is a basic idea I'm butchering it the idea is that we want to give the individual more control over their identity and what kind of information they give out so is that sort of like what Facebook is doing sort of giving people more transparency over their own data is that what you're talking about yeah I'm I don't look it up for a long time we've seen this development that companies like the Mozilla Foundation or even Google Chrome started to introduce this new layer of control that is between you the user and the operating system that would provide an identity layer that would enable to kind of browse the internet to save all your passwords to be kind of the real you that then exhibits different facets of the self to different sites online so is this what we were talking about that the browser is going to be kind of this identity layer that's going to be vital for the next social thing online yes okay I was going to say I think that's fair because you can use your social sign in as your identity because they want you to tie to some of the platforms they can give as much data about you as possible and so whenever I see these I always use my personal email because that's a we're kind of used to in this world having a fake account and a real account so if you tie like things you're just trying once or twice to your fake account you don't have a lot of vested there but when you're trying something new for the first time and tying it to your real identity startups forget that and because they need the analytics and want the analytics so they want to know who you are exactly right off the bat but those of us who've been around for a while don't want to give up our information so easily so I think that's one of the things that's unpopular is untie everything from social sign in I'm tired of it those buttons don't work for the user they only work for the person creating the startup and even when you have to decide on a platform like we're Apple users or Google users depending on your phone there's a small handful of Microsoft users as well but I decided a long time ago I am a Google user so I will use the Android phone because it ties into my email, ties into everything that I do and it's very hard to then separate yourself on different devices with these different methods trusting the customer over time absolutely the data that you can get from these kind of social sign in we have a couple of marketing experts here Mike did you want to talk about that maybe about kind of the data that is available from these social sign in and what it means for marketers and people who want to sell people products based on that data well first of all I want to agree with you I can't stand the social sign in for everything one that's a security issue but at the same time you can get a lot of information from that in your own backend analytics Google Analytics for example has revolutionized itself in the last few years they've added those variables gender this and that and that's because the advent of Chrome and the Chrome login it ties into everything Google and every time you go to something Google you have to decide if I want to use this login or this login you can see all these statistics in the backend of the website that helps people like myself to identify target markets to see who is using the website and actually gear the website up to cater to these age groups after you get so much data but I don't know I kind of see the whole social media platforms kind of starting to blend together I mean you've seen recently how Facebook uses hashtags now they don't work but 90% what I was going to say is 90% of the people have the wrong reasons and that's what I'm trying to there's a double-edged sword to all these different technologies I don't think that there's going to be a new and better Facebook I think that there's going to be all these features kind of blended together and they're going to be used on all the platforms so does that make sense Facebook's had hashtags for almost a year now longer it's kind of they don't work at all they don't actually produce results I don't really believe it just to follow up on the Mozilla Foundation comment about identity or browser level identity Mozilla did do something called persona trying to make a way for people to use their email address as their identity without having to give everyone a username password pair it had some success but not a lot of success but in general I'm going to say that apply the following filter if someone's talking about some new identity system or technology or thing that's going to happen or thing that they're proposing ask them if they're using it on their own website and if they're not tell them they're full of it until they are because they haven't figured out how to get it working I feel like I've been talking a lot but I think there's a couple of things to say the first is we were just confirming because Erin's a user experience expert and she just confirmed to me that native logins, i.e. the ones that don't use social logins actually have better conversions unless you're actually deeply tying into the network and there's a real reason for you to log in with Twitter or whatever you're logging in with and the reasons to get that data I think there's a lot of disinformation there was actually a post this week I guess by Dustin Curtis the creator of Subtle who was talking about how really you need to gather all this information about your users in order to build better products and do it surreptitiously, basically have all the tracking codes and really gather all this all this aggregate data it's not true it's really not true there are all kinds of explicit user research techniques that people use to build websites where you actually get people in you can do things when you have people who are who are consenting to be part of user research you can do things like eye tracking you can do things like movement tracking you can actually really ask them and really get a sense of what it is they're looking for and really get much, much more insightful feedback than you can out of a set of very aggregate statistical data and build a better product out of that the only real reason to gather that kind of information is to run targeted ads and I would argue the targeted ads and the existing crop of social networks kind of go hand in hand in a very insidious way they're actually in many ways the existing social networks exist to gather your information in order to show ads at you which in itself is inherently a violation of your privacy and your rights online the users are still there nobody is migrating to ELO unfortunately ELO does not solve any kind of problem there needs to be an actual crop of real alternatives and people need to look at different business models as part of that to actually create sustainable products that take revenue and actually empower people in different ways in a sustainable way that is founded in solid business practices this is actually a great concluding remark I guess we need to empower our users we need to work with our users together we can't just exploit the data they are giving and we need real user consent rather than just the consent that because everyone is there I have to join and I don't care about the terms and conditions but that's something that sounds great but who's going to do that it's like in theory this is a great idea but then really startups incentivize to do this maybe to go back to the initial question again anybody has any takes on any big ideas or anything like that because we talk within social networking which is the existing paradigm but do you have anything outside the paradigm something different I think something that Ben said making our communications closer to the value of a face to face interaction is something that's really important and I think is a paradigm shift away from the current social media current information sharing methods that we have on the internet now so I think in the future we should be looking in terms of how do we actually make that happen how do we convey things like emotions or like humor or in more meaningful ways that create meaningful connections among people I mean that's maybe sounds idealistic but I think that is where the future should lie in these sorts of things and quite possibly does lie so I would add one more sort of technology trend that is very much on the fringe I think right now and hasn't tipped but maybe in the next 10 years will be something that we might see more and that's around Duxeril's idea VRM vendor relationship management so that's not something that you really see any platforms advertisers doing right now because people are still trying to figure out how to make that happen but where today we sort of live in this world where advertisers are shoving things in your face online that they want you to buy and they track what you look at online and other things that you view and purchase and try and use their algorithms to make assumptions about what you might be interested in with VRM theoretically it would give you as an individual the opportunity to say I am looking for this sort of thing so I'm looking for a plane ticket from this airport to this airport on this day in this price range or I'm looking to buy this kind of laptop case for this kind of laptop or I'm looking to buy this kind of house in this price range in this neighborhood you put out things that you're looking for and people are able to grab that information and they compete to give you the best possible matching product or service so it's different than the model we have today and it's not something that platforms and providers have really figured out how to handle or implement or use right now so it's very much like a concept on the fringe but I think we're getting closer to the space where people understand the general concept more and we might in the next 10 years start to see that actually implemented more online I would like to say I'm a bit skeptical about having one yes sorry I'm a bit skeptical about having one single digital identity that consolidates all our digital activities and if we make this comparison with the physical world I mean of course we have one ontologically speaking and socially speaking we have one identity but are we aware of our single identity that's very difficult maybe it requires years of psychoanalysis I don't know but we're aware of our dispersed identities according to a specific social setting and we adapt according to different experiences so I mean that my guess or I don't know one thought is that in the future we will be even using more dispersed digital identities and we will be so trained and used in changes through different platforms, different softwares that will become natural to us to change and it will be maybe become so much natural to us that we will think will be thinking directly algorithmically ourselves so we won't be able to understand that now we're using different software or it will be natural for us Any other final thoughts on this? This big change that we are into is considered market driven but I think that I can feel some this kind of resisting data obfuscating data and maybe there is I heard about a software named trackminnow that is maybe there is a kind of it will be a kind of you know individual empowerment


at 3 o'clock after the first night of partying. Wow, that was really good. I'm super excited. All right, hi, I am Joe Masty. I am a Ruby Dev, I am apparently now a conference speaker, and I also do a lot of work with companies to help them build apprenticeships. And I've got flagrant time management problems, so I'm here to talk to you about them and hopefully make all of us feel better about that. Informal survey, we're all friends here. Who in this room has either done work today or was working yesterday, which, as a note, was Sunday? Raise your hands, me too. That is 50-ish percent of the audience? Yeah, so like I said, yesterday was Sunday, and half of us were working. So I have this problem, right? So like I said, I wanna be these things and software developer, I have this need to get stuff done, and I feel like I don't do enough. I feel like I need to be productive all the time. I feel like I need to be contributing, meaningful code constantly, and this is something that's been weighing on me really for the last couple of years, because we get this image, right, of people who are constantly producing, and you get like the Zed Shaw's of the world, and they put out 10,000 books every friggin' year. And so that's the image that I have, and on top of that, now that we're in like the Instagram culture, I feel like this is how it's supposed to look. Like this lady is so put together, I don't even know anything about her. She has a cool hipster camera, I don't even own a camera. Her tea looks really well brewed. I bet she does like thought-leadering before breakfast, and I am struggling, right? And then on top of that now, if we're in the software world, I'm supposed to be this like magical unicorn. Not only should I be productive 100% of the time, I also need to be more productive than everyone else. If companies are only interested in taking the top 10% of programmers, and if this mythical 10x programmer is a thing, which it's not, but they believe it is, and so we're still in this place, I need to be the most productive. And that's hurting us. And I think that you have this problem too. And I don't think that just because you showed up for a productivity talk, which thank you for showing up for a productivity talk. I think that you have this because I looked at a bunch of statistics on this, I realized I'm not the only one. We're gonna walk through a couple studies. We're gonna talk a lot about research that's on there. This is a talk that's very heavy on sighted resources, so you can look them all up online afterwards, I cite all my resources. Gallup poll a couple of years ago. 25% of American salaried workers work 60 plus hours a week. Now, if you back that off to only 50 hours a week, it's 40% of salaried workers. 40% of people are working 50 hours a week. And if you know anybody or if you are that poor soul who's working 50 or 60 hours a week, you know that this is not really a Monday to Friday thing. Nobody does 60 hours Monday to Friday and then really takes Saturday off. This is a sort of like low level burn all day long, all week long kind of thing, right? More than half Americans have got 12 months without a vacation. So we have this conversation, right? Like how much vacation time should we have? It turns out Americans forfeit about 25% of their vacation every year. So if I gave you more vacation, it would not matter because you're not taking it anyway, right? This one kills me. I have such an axe to grind on this one. But two thirds of workers eat at their desk, work at their desk. Maybe people do this is like the, you know, I have so much to get down, I'll just grab a sandwich. And so you start to get this picture, right? Of this out of control situation where because we feel the need to get so much done we're consuming all of our time. And the result of that is this stunning but statistically accurate number here, which is that 13% of workers are engaged. So we've got this worldwide poll, 13% are engaged and the, I always forget this number, 24%, almost twice as many are actively disengaged, which I can't quite exactly tell what that is, but I'm pretty sure that's the point where you're about to burn the building down and walk out is like 25% of people, about half as many are actually actively engaged. Does anyone here work on a team? Anyone work with other people? Okay, thank you. Again, checking that you're awake. If you work on a team, if you are one of these people, that energy spills over into the rest of your team. So not only do you have this problem for yourself, God help you if you're a leader. If you have people reporting to you that energy cascades onto those folks. So we have this problem. This is a great quote that I saw on it. When demand exceeds capacity, we make expedient choices. And I think the expedient choices, when we don't really know how to solve this problem, are to start sacrificing the parts of the rest of our life. Like it subsumes more of your time and your energy and you do the work at home, you do the work in bed, you do the work before you eat, you just don't bother eating. That's how we do it, right? So being the child of the internet that I am, I decided that somebody has probably written about this and that maybe they could help me out.  I don't have time for that. And so, and even better about this, by the way, true fact, I discovered I wanted to use this screenshot and I waited a day and I came back and I'd written it down and it actually there were 300 more of them in the one day between when I decided that this was ridiculous and the time I took the screenshot. There's some good advice out there, I'm sure. I decided instead we'll Google around, we'll Google productivity and we'll get some articles instead and some of the advice was okay. Some of the advice was iffy. This is a list on Forbes known for their intellectual rigor. Five minute list, so the context of this tip is if you are brain melt, can't handle doing productive work anymore, here's one fast easy tip to push your face against a grindstone just a little bit harder. Thanks Forbes. There's another article. Valuate clubs or subscriptions that you remember if time spent on them can't be justified, drop out. Right? I don't get enough done. I still have hobbies and interests and friends. This article, this is not even like Backwater 2006 of the internet, this article is from last week. So this is like actively up near the top of my Google list. That's how I picked these articles. I went through like the top five and that's where all these are coming from. It's no secret that the more time you have for work, the more you can achieve. This is even better if you look at the surrounding text. The actual tip is just wake up earlier and start working earlier. And I don't know about you. I am not gonna go to bed any earlier to accommodate this, right? And so the reality of this tip is just don't sleep. Right? And then this is, oh, this is my favorite. This makes me so happy because I found lifehack.org so we're gonna get some life hacks on. Identify your time thieves. What a great metaphor. Like immediately, like it's, the problem isn't me. The problem is I have time thieves and they're like little gnomes that come in the night and they take my time and then I can't get enough stuff done, right?  And this kind of metaphor though, this isn't a unique metaphor, right? Rescue time is a really common productivity tool. Rescue your time from the time thieves. And as another aside, well I was taking this, I looked down on here, this is this like, why you should buy our product. This is where I will tell you when you spent more than two hours on Facebook. So you need more of reinforcement that all of us have this problem. Man, this clearly came from somebody's personal story of just cannot get under two hours of Facebook. That hurts. So early talk summary.  And well this sounds like such a wonderful, romantic movie basically. It's not effective and we're doing these things, right? And God help you, you take this advice and it's not working. And the more that this happens, when this happens to me, the more that I focus on it the worst time I have of it and I find myself back doing the things that aren't productive. And that I feel guilty about not being productive. And then when I try to spend time with my family, I feel guilt that I have not spent that time being productive. This is what I want my life to look like. I wanna spend time on work, I love work. I really do love work. But I also wanna spend time on other things that are important to me. There's more than goes to the work. And this is kinda where I am, aren't productive. And my contention here is that, A, I'm not gonna reclaim that last 1% for hopefully obvious reasons. But my contention is that the reason that this is so out of whack is that we are measuring the wrong thing. It is all well and good to not waste your time. But we optimize what we measure. And so we're gonna talk about how to optimize better. We can do better. So I wanna look at one particular study. This was something, this was a Gallup poll. It was a multi-year study. They looked at effective workplaces. There's an interesting side effect if you read this, which is that there's no such thing as an effective company, only an effective work group. It's an interesting side effect. There are a lot of other studies of this sort, but this is an easy one. So what made people productive? They felt cared for by somebody at work, got positive feedback. Someone at work encourages them. I'm bullshitting you on that last one that wasn't actually on there. So these things, what do these have in common? They're not about time. They're not about efficient meetings, right? They're not about how early I wake up in the morning. They're about energy. And so specifically, when we talk about what we're measuring, this is my contention. We should not measure the quantity of time that we put towards these tasks. We need to measure the quality of the energy. And when you start to think through this, when you take this position, a lot of the things that we just covered a minute ago start to make sense, right? If you find yourself browsing Facebook for an hour, two hours or something, there may be a reason behind this. If you have employees who are chronically having trouble focusing, the answer to this is not to make it physically impossible for them to do anything but focus. This is a sign that things are out of whack. And we need to learn to actually balance those things. So if we wanna get back to this place, let's discuss some tips. I was inspired by those life hacks. I love life hacks. I don't really, but this seems like a good way to do it. So here are my contention. This is how we're gonna break down. I did it again more and more study on what it is that people found that is effective in managing energy. And I think it falls into these three categories. Getting more energy, spending it wisely, and figuring out how to recharge. So getting energy. This is probably the easiest one. I'm gonna spend a couple minutes telling you things that you probably know. It's interesting to see how factually these things work, like how the received wisdom works here. Let's talk about sleep. I know, it's a tiny pig. I love tiny pigs. So there's a reason I gave you this tiny pig is because some of you aren't sleeping enough and I just wanted to give you this lovely list here of things that happened where it was found after investigation that it was due to lack of sleep. Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez, Bhopal, Three Mile Island, and the Challenger Explosion. It's a cute tiny pig. We need sleep. We need sleep. And it's not just about quantity of sleep, it's about quality of sleep. Both of these things are very important. This is a surprising statistic to me, although I am clearly within the 80% camp here. I did not think that so many people were. 80% of people sleep with their cell phones. So who sleeps with their cell phone? It's gonna be like 80%. Literally like either under your, within arm's reach I think is the answer here. Yeah, we'll talk about that. Well, and so here's the thing, right? Is that if you are a like reasonable person, you use your cell phone for a clock, right? If you have an alarm, it's your clock alarm. Like nobody's got that like beep beep thing on the side of their bed anymore, right? Yeah? A couple people still have that on the side of their bed. But because we're in this spot now where devices serve multiple purposes, this is a danger. Because as it turns out, you probably, except for you, are looking at your screen as you go to bed. I've talked to a lot of people who say that the time when they can get stuff done is right before bed. So you hop into bed and then you stare at your screen for a while and then when you're too tired to continue you kind of like put your head down, right? But it turns out that using screens, this is about iPads, using screens is enough to suppress your nighttime melatonin. So melatonin is if you don't know, it is the sleepy drug that makes you want to go to sleep.  Alcohol, the time when they can longer make you raise your hand. If you are on a team that does a fair amount of drinking after work, this is my former team that are laughing really hard. It takes you, you're faster to fall asleep. So this is funny, because maybe you can counteract your cell phone use by being wasted when you go to sleep. But it reduces REM sleep, which if you don't remember the research on that, REM sleep is the one that has an effect on concentration, motor skills, and memory. So if you didn't remember that, maybe you're going to sleep wasted too often. So quality of sleep. Exercise, I know, they're so cute. Exercise, that's only nominally about exercise, but that's really cute. So I could tell you that if you don't do exercise, you're gonna die early, but this is not that talk, this is a different talk. I could tell you that if you have depression or if you deal with too much stress, that exercise will help you deal with depression and stress. This is not that talk. This is a productivity talk. So we're gonna keep it in scope here.  So we're gonna go into in a little bit how we should spend time recuperating, but keep this in mind, that even a small amount of exercise, bike into work, walk from the train, even a little bit, it's gonna be really helpful. There's other research to indicate, I didn't add it to the slides here, but there's other research that indicates that the long-term effects are similar actually. If you consistently exercise over a long period of time, that those benefits add up.  Adequate nutrition. This is from the World Health Organization. Adequate nourishment. This should be an easy one for us. This should be a gimme. So I'm guessing that a lot of us out here have free food at work, right? Again, some nods. Is it healthy food? Getting some snares. Good, healthy food is good. We're in this really interesting spot, right? Like we are a white collar, highly paid, highly educated workers. This one should be a gimme. Eat the food that your body needs and you will have more energy to get things done. Red Bull may give you wings, but it is not going to help you actually concentrate long-term. And then stress. This was another really interesting one to me. You should have some stress. You should have moderate stress. Much like a muscle, if you have moderate amounts of stress, your body becomes capable of dealing with this. You can expand your ability to cope with that situation. If you go way overboard, which is what happens a lot of the time, right? It's kind of what we're talking about here. It doesn't work that way, right? Put too much stress on a muscle, it tears and there's some great metaphor there. So that's where we wanna be. Balance stress, not so balanced. Spend your time wisely. Section two. This is a freebie. You ever heard the research that says that willpower can be diminished by using it? You know, if you have a task that takes willpower, you have less willpower. So it turns out that's only true if you believe in it.  My free gift to you for showing up to this talk is that you all get unlimited willpower from here on out because as it turns out, if you do the same study that shows that your willpower is diminished, but beforehand you prime people that that doesn't work that way, the willpower isn't in fact diminished. You're welcome. Multitasking. Multitasking does not work. It really, really, really does not work. If you are in your seat saying, yeah, but I'm really good at multitasking, research says that you are worse at multitasking than people who don't think they're any good at it, which is awesome. The IQ drop, similar to what you'd expected, they smoked weed or stayed up all night. We didn't talk about weed, but I'm guessing this is not gonna be very productive either. So they said that the IQ drop was 15 points, which was enough to take the men in the study from wherever they were to about the average for an eight-year-old. Right? Now what they didn't say, and I wish they had, is that means that if you stay up all night and then multitask, you've got the IQ of a stone eight-year-old. I don't know why they left that out of the study, but I'm fairly confident of those results. Multitasking does not work. If you want to use your energy wisely, you need to be single-tasking. You need to get things out of your way and focus on what you're actually working on and then put it away. Related one, I don't know about you. I end up with a lot of things in my life where they're not immediately resolvable and I can kind of just like push them off on the side of the plate, but they're always something that I'm kind of carrying along. Just remember that there are a lot of things in our lives like that, and if you can deal with them, if you take the time, even though it's not efficient use of that time, per se, you get them off your plate and you get them done. This is something that has been reinforced in my life many, many, many times is that when it comes down to it, the stuff that you're avoiding doing, again, you're probably avoiding doing it for a reason.  So recharge, we start with energy, we use the energy, we need to recharge the energy. There are two big points in this section. This is the first one. Rest is not the same as idleness. Idleness is not the same as rest. So it turns out that when you are doing nothing, like for real nothing, I think they define it as not focused on external stimuli. Your brain goes into this thing called default mode, which is neat because it also shows why we think, we think computers are like brains, so we have mode versions for it. It's like insert mode.  Which means that this is the problem when we talk about the two hours on Facebook. And this I think is one of the really fundamental ones.  And so the reason why there is no amount of Facebook that you can consume to actually get back to being focused is because you're not resting, you're just not doing work. That's a big one. I have trouble with that one. So there's a wonderful parable that this reminds me of. It's a Zen Buddhist story and there are two monks, very young, and they're bragging at each other, which is what monks apparently do when they meet up.  And the one says, that's nothing. My master, when he chops wood, he chops wood. When he carries water, he carries water. I love that story. I love the power of that thought that we can actually be present in the things that we're doing, including when we're doing nothing at all.   What I'm saying to you is not, you should consume your RSS feeds or your podcasts while eating breakfast or that you should read the newspaper while listening to music. You need to take these times to disconnect. And that disconnection is what's gonna get you ready to actually be productive again. And the second big idea is the bigger version of the last idea. You need to alternate activity and rest. So activity is what we're doing all the time. We get a lot of that. We get plenty of activity, but we're not really taking rest. So think back. We said we're two thirds of people are eating lunch at their desk, right? We're saying 50% aren't taking vacation. We're saying we're working 60 hours a week. We're saying what we're wagering is essentially this. I bet I can work 95% of the year for 60 hours a week with no breaks for 50 years. That is idiotic. And yet, that's clearly implicitly what we're doing. And I think that the reason for this is that it doesn't look like you're making this wager.  What you say is I'm doing professional development. I'm going to meetups. I'm writing a blog. I'm expected to have passion projects because I'm a programmer. And so we never take that downtime. And this is implicitly the wager that we're making. So my girlfriend is a contractor as well as I am. And she was talking to friends of hers who work standard jobs. They say it must be so great. Every day is like Friday. She said, no, it's not quite like that. Every day is like Tuesdays, an infinite string of Tuesdays. I think this describes the situation really well and that I feel like this was the goal, right? Like this is what I wanted was 100% output all the time. I'm gonna be like a machine.  When in reality what we need is this. We need significant uptime. We also need significant downtime.  When I say that I mean for real like off off, which means not answering your emails and not answering the work slack and all of that, right? So recap, pay attention to energy. This is the real currency of what we're doing. It doesn't matter what your time looks like or at least it's just not the primary thing to pay attention to. Get some energy, take care of your body. Otherwise it'll stop working, especially when you get old. Spend it wisely and recharge better.  But I think that, but I think that they don't exist. But I think that this is a better life worth living. Thank you very much. And I believe I definitely have time for questions. I do have stickers and I am on the Twitters and I would like to talk to all of you. So are there questions? So there's a question about, there's this rule on your to-do list, right? If you can do it in under five minutes, go ahead and get it done. So three minutes. I suspect that that's somewhat orthogonal. If you're being productive, I think the idea is don't put off things until later and then end up with an infinite list. I think where we get in trouble is the idea that I can be this kind of big productive and then once I can't handle that anymore, that's when I'll fit in all these other things. And that I think is where that trouble happens is that you're never taking that time to actually disconnect. Does that make sense? Other questions. The definition, so in that small loop and the disconnecting and taking breaks, the definition was whether you're primarily paying attention to external stimuli or whether your mind has an opportunity to sort of wander off and internalize and when you're imagining stuff, when you're relaxing in the shower and just thinking about stuff, right? In that big loop, the difference between activity and rest, it's a good question. I don't have a precise definition for you on that. I can say sort of informally that one of the things that I've taken that makes it easier for me to have rest is I go out and I do climbing trips. I love rock climbing. Not paying attention to work, not trying to be productive. It is not particularly mentally strenuous. And that, I think that's the obscenity style definition. I'll know it when I see it but I don't have a great definition for you on precisely what works there. Computer games? That's a good question. I haven't seen research into that. I know that on a lot of these other fronts, I wouldn't say, so computer games, you're in this situation, you're still responding to external stimuli and so I think that in that small sense it's not rest. Can you take a vacation that is composed of video games? I'd like for that to be true but I don't know if I have any facts to that basis. Any questions over here? I'm looking over there, you sir. It's hard. I'm sorry, how do you not feel guilty about not doing work? It's very hard. The best recourse that I have, the reason that I back this up with stats and not just with like hey, good life is that taking time away from work is ultimately more productive in an absolute sense. So that the taking a 60 hour week thing, you're not actually being more productive. You're kind of, it's like more sound and noise.  And so taking that time away is what's preparing you emotionally and physically and mentally for the times when you're productive. So saying if you build by the hour the customer enforces it for you. I think sometimes that's true. I've got, so as a contractor, I've got clients who definitely would be happy for me to put in the quasi-infinite number of hours and even when I explain to them that I'm not effective past a certain point. Charge more. You know what? I'll take that advice. You can always charge more. So he was saying that he had heard a definition of the difference between activity and rest where it's higher order brain function versus lower order brain function. Which seems pretty plausible. If you want, so it's hard always to do everything all at once. I think if you want one real takeaway, I'm sorry, so it's when I get out of here like this is great and all sounds lovely.  And I think that's a very real concern. I'll say that I balance between doing these things well and doing them not well. If you want one thing that you can remind yourself of, it's that if you find yourself avoiding doing the work that you need to by screwing around on the internet, which I think is sort of endemic, that there's a reason that you're doing that. Have the knowledge that when you do that, it's because you're deling from what you need to do and to take that opportunity to truly disconnect.   You're not actually worthless. I love you all. It's a ruby community. I can say I love you all and it doesn't sound weird. Yeah, so she's saying that like a lot of places, people start to really brag about how busy they are. It's like, yeah, I haven't slept in a week, man. Like how cool am I? And that advocating for that and the reality of that situation helps. I find it helps to shame them about it. Yeah, just tell them you're gonna make mistakes because you don't feel like eating lunch.   Maybe it's just me. I think that's it. I'm gonna be around in the hallway. Like I said, I have stickers. Thank you.


Hello everyone and welcome to Jurassic World Alive where today I was going to do a facecam. I was an idiot and I set my PC to power saver and then when I record my facecam it's done it and it looks like a slideshow I'll probably show you what it looks like scrubbing through the actual footage in comparison to what it looks like scrubbing through footage recorded normally and it would literally be a slideshow so instead of you watching me going frame by frame I thought we'd just take facecam out and let the game footage just take center stage I think it's probably better it's so annoying because it was such a good video we got loads of good battles in we've opened loads of stuff in footage is fine it's just my facecam I'll stick with it I hope you enjoyed it I'll see you in a bit, bye! Hello everyone and welcome to your favourite show Jurassic World Alive which is now apparently all we do on the channel but we have news things to cover we have a new dinosaurs that we're going to upgrade we've also got this week's dinosaurs coming as well as I want to talk about the new hybrid that might be coming as well because I did a poll on my YouTube in which ones you guys actually voted for out of like the Indominemis and all those other ones like the Scorpius Rex gen 3 hybrid which was the flock one but not only that we're upgrading rexie giga-chat and we're possibly even getting into new blood shores the top highest battle arena in the entire game because that's what we've done we've basically done paid to win sweet so why don't we start off with the events and I'm recording this a Thursday hopefully it's up on Thursday for you guys it should be if I've work my little fingers to the bone so Thursday which is the dates going up Wednesday Thursday you've got the commons and the commons are kind of meh they're all meh stego enosaurus nundasuchus and the I don't know what that is the sarcosuchus gen 2 I think that one is something I put perotosaurus something I'm not really much going on there I think the if if you don't have them already like like maxed as in all the DNA you can have well here's your 24 attempts but Friday to Saturday is where it gets quite interesting overall this week's kind of yeah it's okay there's like one or two good things but apart from that it's alright like Friday Saturday is the epics and you have 12 chances to dart these it's really good because you're all gonna be dark and giga you've got the barion X which has been in the game forever you got a la so gen 2 which I guess isn't too old so and it does go into some hybrid if you do want that you can get it we've also got the flying little thing as well I come where that is the little batwing thing and then Sunday to Tuesday I know nothing special happening on Sunday usually we've had it we've been very spoiled we've had legendaries or Uniques even on the same friggin day but no Sunday to Tuesday is just braze and it's not even any extra attempts of res or maybe it is no it's not it's 24 times 36 comes you've got the ramp for Rinkus I think rare which is actually all right the baron's gen 2 which is actually really good the fuchiyu source from here in Japan they're gonna be very careful I would say that YouTube might be like a one which also has the hybrid and Draco Rex gen 2 I think or my pictures trigger which is actually alright as far as like skill tournaments go sometimes you can use that quite well from that there's nothing really going on said it has the golden gold chase which one coin is okay you've of course got these the boosts dotted in every other day sort of thing as well as incubators you got the donor incubator on the Friday which I guess isn't too bad and you've also got some hold on I need to have a look what is that okay it's like a patchy civilisaurus cent I thought it was maybe a rex is sent but it's not so on with the game let's have a look at our freaking team this is where it gets excited this is where it gets like so we have a level 29 giga-chat the freaking make but not only that yes I did spend 30,000 bucks on the soco also imperative sutures incubated it can be 80 extra so next time we are able to do the imperative sutures which is just gone and so next week we'll be able to get it to level 28 because 15 is the minimum I think you get an actually got 25 last time so it's very lucky I've almost got like basically in a week's time we're gonna have a level 30 ref we're gonna have a level 28 imperative sutures and we almost got there for the level 30 boa or the hydro boa so I team apart from parity or the parakeet as some people are lovingly lovingly call it is maxed basically but before we level this up we have been blessed now you know this is this the way the game is look at that look at this now I'm not one to promote the in-app purchases it's it's completely up to you and unfortunately Jurassic World alive the way the game is and I kind of want to make a video on this about how Jurassic World live can improve because for me personally I think the battles are okay that they're fun but they're a little bit too complicated especially for new players and I think that barrier to entry that difficulty in going from like oh that goes to a block of that breaks your shield to oh well I got 75% chance of stunning but he's also got a 66% chance to resist it which gives me about 3% it's like no no no when you start getting in stuff like that this feels bad right so if I die because I got stunned with a 5% chance to get stunned that feels bad I know there's orangey but that little orangey I mean yes if it works for you but there's a major feels bad even if you get you're like oh you feel bad for the player unless you're a you know a psycho because that it shouldn't really still anyway this thing is this thing you better right here is crazily good it is 90 quid this was maybe 20 quid I could I would feel all right and saying maybe get it but because it's 90 quid the prizes are great you get rexy and don't and don't interact to gen 2 you get the you get some really good hybrid get the Ramford Ramford or Dreadaculous hybrid whatever it is you get the Stiggy hybrid with the Ankylosaur also get this maybe 200 DNA of any creature that's a legendary so you get two four six eight ten two four six eight you get one thousand eight hundred legendary DNA if it was only one creature you could say it's more worth it because if you least in that way you get a good one you're like right well that's I've got two or three levels out of that but you know what we're here it's the way it is we're gonna have to do it we don't have to but I've committed to this rexy at this point and like I said once we get a maximum I want to see how much you spent on it you've also got a Thera hybrid sorry incubator then you've got this one too so another basically 90 quid which gives you 400 rexy DNA as well as a chance to get another 400 rexy DNA I'm always incredibly unlucky when it comes to these so I'm not expecting to get that so so far you've got 200 400 600 possibly a fat 1200 DNA worth of rexy you could get if you put all those incubators but it's not over there no because if you scroll down you've also got this incubator for fifty five thousand bucks which you can get two of and you've got a 14% chance to get 200 rexy DNA in that it's freaking ludicrous so we're gonna get the chart we're gonna get the rexy oh oh my god first I want to start with this one because this one's just it's actually pretty decent most of the time we get ripped off this one I'm not gonna lie is also rip off but hey at least this time we get something that's alright obviously if you've never played the game before you know that you're gonna get the most for your money here basically but we just need well we're gonna get it we're gonna get it you never know we may get incredibly lucky and get another rexy out of the incubator we get from this I highly doubt it but you never can tell we might get oh hey we got level 28 of this thing whoa I don't know why it'll fit in my team because actually for the first time ever in PVPs I have I have a feeling like I know what to do with my team it's it's so weird I don't know whether it's because I've played loads recently or whether I've just faced against the same like dinosaurs over and over it's probably a mixture of the two basically but I'm having loads of fun with the battles hey look you can see where it should be and where it isn't it should be scaled up but hey oh here we are oh fantastic so what do we get the 200 is I mean there was one point odd percent chance of getting rexy we're probably we're gonna get it there and no I'm not gonna rate your five stars I'd rate minus five stars for the micro transactions you got in the game so and then we got this one two of these for seven thousand bucks each good news is each one that we buy from this it's not really good news it's it does a silver lining okay is that we can also buy one of the other incubators which gives us like a 20% chance of getting rexy so we may as well this incubator itself has you know we could get 400 rexy from it oh boy that's a lot of coin that's a lot of bucks as well and there's the 200 rexy yes and the incubator what will we get from it is the question come on come on rexy I think we got like fifty thousand coin or fifteen thousand coins are brilliant even less but what do we get was it's gonna be rexy it's course it's never rexy it's never rexy oh god but we're not even done there with rexy DNA no no no no no no because after I did the last video where we dotted four kind of four rexes in the wild they also released more rexy incubators one was that you could get in a battle like tournament thing oh god did I click some no I didn't but also there was this one the rexy scent so you could buy this I think for 15,000 bucks which is so ridiculous um the same guarantees rexy so we're gonna dart rexy I've never darted I don't think or at least I'm used to my phone now so we got a rexy I'm a bit terrified I'm gonna click it before we end up go disappearing off or something we can't actually even darted okay okay oh no I'm gonna concentrate for this one guys there it is 23 23 okay okay I'm being a bit slow here it feels very slow it's my dog reset like look how slow this is move faster we don't have time for this is it reset my my darting thing oh god oh dear oh you know that actually wasn't so bad even though like I was like going through cement we've done it a level 29 rexy we could leave it there because now we're gonna need what like 30 40,000 or three three thousand or four thousand in order to get that to level 30 but of course we're not gonna do that are we it's set to rookie I knew it I was like although saying that though we didn't really do that bad you came on a rookie but we'll quickly I mean look at this if we have a look at our rexy send we can see what else we can get from it so 100% guaranteed for rexy then the only thing we want from this really is albertasaurus but you've got 2.6% chance of getting that so yeah are we gonna I don't think so we'll see what we get from this little clock over and it is a tower so yeah I thought as much so we're just gonna swap that out for this now the only dangerous thing is if we get rexy inside of this sanctuary right here I can't get it it doesn't matter even if it's sticking above it and you can see rexy if it rexy goes inside that I'm screwed I can't get rexy so this could be a waste of rexy but hopefully not so that what we just did was 40 quid basically because we got 200 rexy DNA from one of those big bettas come on please don't go inside that you yes okay we got veteran let's see if we can actually do better this time oh yes that's good okay okay I'm going a big gun hoe for this but if I get more you know oh god if I get more direct hits maybe it's not so bad there's a direct hit that wasn't oh god I'm used to rookie now there's another direct hit there's another direct hit oh well we I think we did better than we've ever done yes have an extra okay I think if I kept on dotting I could increase we've seen that slowly I get better the more we thought oh right so we're still not even done with rexy but we do have a level 29 giga-chat and level 29 rexy like ready to go and that's really gonna help I you think right so we have this to do we have one more of this which could give us another 400 rexy and then we've also got another oh we're shy of if we had was it 55 extra books we could open all five of the other incubators here we go the last purchase another 250,000 quarter million coin 7,000 books look at that 55 more and we would be there we could open all five of the other ones and come on what are the chances I think it's what 20% chance it ought to get rexy come on rexy we're gonna we're gonna summon it into existence will it rexy rexy I could see it yeah bugger right okay but we do have 24,000 now what we could do is we could save that for when you know the other dinosaurs get you've also got this one as well which gives you a rex emo which is kind of cool and you also get this incubator which could give you giga and of course you need giga for the hybrid so this is potential if you wanted to but I'm kind of okay because it doesn't give you any guaranteed giga and we're fine we're fine without that this is the incubator that's coming up soon is this Draco one it should tell you how many you own already but it's a shame that doesn't do that so you've got these ones five thousand bucks a pop we've got a good chance to get a rexy out of them let's go let's go come on 50,000 coin and not a rexy I tell you for some odd reason I am the most unlucky is person when it comes I think I've only got rexy twice and I've opened like 20 of them it's horrible it's alright apologize there's nothing I could do about this and this is the thing or if you've ever seen level 29 or 30 rexy in the last two weeks previous to this this video it's because people have opened these and then got rexy like every time I don't know how they've done it and rexy no because it's not rexy it's all it's all the top plays I don't know how or maybe I don't know I've heard some fish are going on there I think then there's under three so what is our actual chances here oh it's actually 14% so it's actually not too high but still you know it's 20% chance to get all the other ones so technically it's it's a roll of the die and they another one what tends to happen when I open these and we can't do one more because we're tiny bit low actually I'll have a check to see if we have any of these achievements ready that give us books we don't yeah I've sort of been kind of grinding these ones because it switches to a 250 books oh thank you and we got a cool even the player finally I didn't know why I didn't decide to just go wait you could do this in campaign and unlock it that way but there you go so that is all of the rexy DNA that we are able to get but it has put us 475 over the limit for 29 so we'll see just what the damage is to get to that final max level 30 rex it exists in the game if people have already got 28 to 29 before this they probably got 30s now so let's do 200,000 Texas 300 extra help and a extra attack oh yes you love to see it so that means that means that my first of our rampage does a lot and my even my passive fear strike on escape does a lot like 75% chance to resist on is always good that's like a base you got 50% chance to be stunned it's not good enough because if you get stunned then it's it could be game that's what I could be so now I'm kind of tempted to see if we should keep on going for a tax and increase the attack or maybe keep on going for help also we got the refunds in the giga thing so I can refund everything off speed and help the moment not a tax I've already done that so we've got 10 health 7 attacks and 20 speed boosts I feel like I want just that little bit extra help just to like kind of keep me alive if we go for the attack how much do we get extra the thing is with rexie attack is in the issue it's staying alive so we've got 13 attack boosts and for health boosts I'm gonna go for one health we're gonna put in one more help just to give us like a hundred and 40 extra help and then now it's giga chance turn now do I put the one speed on or do we just keep on going so here we go another 200,000 takes us oh so much extra help I think we should put on 8,000 8k giga charred health boom yeah beautiful that's what you like to see so even if I get hit by like a 4,000 and another 4,000 I'm alive and I've probably killed it at that point oh it's gorgeous and here we are in Jarrusfield depot but you'll realize won 5,948 because we are now what which is incredibly close to Jarrusfield if I remember correctly I think it's only 6,000 we need to get into Jarrus sorry new blood shows yes I have been in new blood shows once before but I only got one battle out of it and before I was quickly knocked back down but I'm I'm confident in my team I know what I'm doing even no matter what I get I don't feel like even in the last video I apologize guys because you were screaming like no switch in rexy and I after is editing the video I realized that oh that's why I should done but you know in the moment you've I'm also recording as well so you've also got to try to be a bit of a presenter while also you know trying to be an MLG pro it's it's a bit difficult so I do apologize if I don't make the best of plays so shall we see if in this video we not only max up to 29 rexy 29 giga chat but also get oh hold on hold on oh actually before we do that we've got this I completely forgot about this we are now only one thing away from getting the skin for the giga chat so I'm kind of wondering if we if I can't donate a comment I will get that I'll get 200 giga chat DNA and then I could just boost over I don't mind spending 500 bucks on getting the extra skin so I'll just have a quick check to see if I can get common all right maybe maybe maybe we can get back up I've just lost another game but it was crap so I've cut it it had like a really toxic player who was doing the yawns laughing crying emoji you know just just the just that most toxic right test the calmness yes come on we can do this oh why I didn't mean to click that I clicked both of them and then it was like no no you meant this one great great okay well maybe maybe some no swap in with a shield maybe it'll be anklos I don't oh game are you giving me a free win is a game giving me a free win oh that's so nice thank you what is the stun chance on this so it does that the best steel carries over that that's interesting okay okay what's going on are we just lagging the hell's happening no we're not unless our move is different let's find out is our move different are we lagging yes we are we too are lagging okay cuz I couldn't actually pick the move I wanted to don't you love it well I guess you could call that lucky okay here we go start fresh we can actually play ah nothing great to start with yay it's just how close looks solid what ebbs hey you're the same idea sweet go first yes that's what it's that's what I'm talking about that's what it's about because now I can hit with the counter with a shield up whereas actually no I got to do my first hit without any shield that's what it's about right so what could we do now if we get faster right with this next hit we have a t-rex and okay we got lucky with that as well okay let's see if and what do we swap out to we swap out the t-rex actually yeah well if we don't get stunt here which would be a miracle because I think it's a hundred percent chance yeah we could switch to t-rex 75% chance of stunt oh so it's not really guaranteed oh okay oh yes this is kind of what I wanted this is what I wanted so I'm gonna hit him do a good counter always invincible I pushed him below half hell oh oh maybe it worked out better for him yeah well this didn't go according to planet or 110 speed I'm definitely gonna be faster I may as which is too big here right I may as well as well because he's got invincibility ups there's nothing else I can do if he swaps out because I've leveled up I actually kill him oh that's good okay so he's dead doesn't matter what he does he won't have this instant thing ready because it's cooldowns three wow okay so he's dead doesn't matter what happens here he's dead and then I've got my mass of it if I want to go for it really deliberate it there really long and hard about what was gonna happen death death was gonna happen oh is this so right it's gonna pick it pick it oh a sidestep he wants the crit that's because he does five thousand damage all righty die off when I went through it I would have killed him yeah all right okay okay go on then well you're gonna get your gonna kill me so I mean what's the chance it's all we're alive by George do we kill him oh we don't get the crit of course oh yeah hate to see it but good news is we're not quicker than oh fantastic okay okay should we just kill him let's make it oh stop prevented me do I have a chance to resist in that no I don't okay ha you don't get a get out like oh you do get out of jail free card that quick okay cool right interesting a bear T-rex would be great for that shame it's perfect counter kind of came out okay this is maybe not the best of place maybe I should have done ankle so looks maybe I should have done that I just want to do some damage to him does he have something that's almost dead yes his forex is almost dead so I've got to remember that I can't let him have a free like easing and then we have no health and it'd be too nil to hit to want to him I can't know that I have because you will get it I guess all looks is a really good counter for him for it okay what's he doing I'm really confused is he just setting me up to be killed by forex I get the feeling that's what's happening here he wants me to be killed by forex but if that's the case then he's lost so very confused that's still a bit very confused you must have something else what is the dinosaur he's got because I'm still vulnerable I think no I'm not oh was that vulnerable for one turn that's right oh is he just disconnected is that why he went for his regular hit what are you doing like yeah you could go for your your really big hit but you're dead I mean like how much damage does he do to me if I swap out 2500 and he could swap prevent me as well he would swap prevent me I think it's a hundred percent chance yeah okay okay and so this is interesting very interesting you know what the clever play would have been you know what it would have been to have had Anglosolux there and then swap out and then even if he hit me it would have counted and kill them that was the clever play because now he's gonna do something yes spoon actually it doesn't really matter I think I've still won because I can swap in Anglosolux get a good counter off so what like 3000 denotes yes I think this is it I swap into a swap in Anglosolux right I just swap in Anglosolux get invincible for one time because he's gonna go for his biggest hit here which is actually alright for me I think I don't know this is not a good place to be in for me I don't think because I think this invincibility is gonna disappear now oh it doesn't yes okay I don't know what I don't know what he's doing because he can't he can't have him swap in because you'll just take a hit die yes you can speed reduce me but I'm gonna get invincibility next turn so I don't know what your plan is here but you should see the writing on the wall now I don't think there's anything you can do because now I'm gonna get invincibility right look plus three more what's the plus three more I used to expand it right like oh there we go there it is so now it doesn't matter what he does it's over it's over because I think I'm gonna have invincibility for the next two hits and turn yeah oh damn that was oh now I'm happy now I'm happy that I got this this ball recall of this this is yeah his whole victory was determined on his forex it was like it was that was it if you didn't get the forex to get instant attack off he lost but he did really well his forex killed two things but because I knew that's kind of what he was doing I could sort of try and avoid that trap okay we'll do two more can we get there oh please tell me we can oh what do we go for you know I mean I showcased it in the lost footage now okay this guy's gonna go through the picture hopefully he's got a weak team just because that's an old picture but I mean that's nothing to go up I'm just hoping I'm hoping that I win all right oh spinochet perfect yes it's gonna be quicker than me as well right yes I've faced spino constrict enough times to know that I usually or maybe I just get through it's um it's usually goes for like the rampage I've seen it it goes first rampage first oh don't tell me he's disconnected don't tell me I'm disconnect okay this is a free win is it gonna be a free win here I'm not quicker than it now I might know it I'm never maybe that one extra speed no but then he's oh okay okay he was there he's just was really thinking about it and then maybe didn't get to go first precise yeah there it is I don't know if it always goes through block does it always go through block shields room yeah it doesn't say it goes through dodge but apparently sorry I meant safe dodge there it was okay so we're gonna take it's good it's good you've reduced my attack to 1200 I could have actually cleansed myself but then it wouldn't have affected this oh it's still a picket working giga just putting in the work I don't think we're gonna get too much help this time oh the blade of the bleed it's gonna go for a little hit here right he's gonna it's gonna go for a little hit it's he can't go for the big one he's gonna go for a little hit what even if he goes for a little hit we'll just have imperative suit just so now ref can't switch oh he does go for well done well I would have been to I mean I probably would went for the big it just in case he did swap but you can't swap out without taking some damage because I think if he swaps out I get an attack boost all this done I mean what was it what 25% chance for that to hit him okay okay it's not it's a feels bad still oh he's oh wow okay he's determined to go for his biggest hits it all right I don't think he's gonna kill me here but then he's gonna be bled he's probably gonna have his priority oh he's gonna have to go for his priority oh that's really good because if he uses priority I've got hydro bow and then he can't switch out without dying normally people want to keep a referendum but he can't get out now he's lost them so I'm just yeah for some to use it for some now is he still stuck in it doesn't make a difference actually my dive I believe but I think he's got resistance to bleed no you know what he's thinking I was like it's one one I'm gonna keep up a laugh right okay so they have a lost your thing so I might as well just do this because he's not gonna swap out I mean maybe maybe he wants to swap out I don't think he will I think he's just went bokeh yes we're still recording good oh this has been a rollercoaster right oh it's a paratops okay okay a paratops interesting so what do we think we go for here guys do you think it's gonna go for the heel I think it's gonna go for the heel I think it's gonna go for a heel if I play my cards here right I think I'm in with a win I think yeah here comes the heel but you can predict that does he cleanse damage over time with this no he doesn't okay okay let's give him this then you'll take a big chunk from bleed is he resist bleeding does resist bleed did I make the right play there because I could have switched in Sarah Magnus and possibly got oh maybe he wouldn't kill me there if he didn't get the crit interesting right so all he's got now is a priority instant heel but it depends what is other creature is oh this is oh I could I could now swap in Sarah Magnus if he does have something else that can swap in and do damage it's over I'm gonna do it oh this is this is anybody's game now is anybody's game because I think I'm gonna recover more than 2800 so he can't kill me with a swap in yep and that's a lot of health that's a lot of healthy corn okay for him to win now he needs to get a stun and then I think I'm dead but the chances of that is very low oh he goes for another instant why though he just wants to reduce my attack a little bit but then I'm gonna recover more help is the plan just to get me to a low enough amount of hell this is interesting does he have resistance to swapping out he doesn't 4000 even if he gets crit which is probably gonna oh he doesn't even get a crit oh okay now I'm in the dangerous territory right these prevent him from swapping he resisted it damn okay okay so now he's thinking power tops comes in and kills me kills him but it's not happening oh wait what he didn't do it he didn't do it why do you know do that then at least it could have went on a little bit longer oh that was I mean I don't know if I would have been in a chance to kill him there like if the part of came in I would have maybe stunned it and it would have been on like 3000 and then down to it would have been like I think I still would have had it but wow that was a misplay on his part okay okay we're back in okay we're back in we won that last game it was very good and again the Captain Brooke and I don't know why it's the way it is oh god and now we're against a gorgotra bex but she back oh this one's this one's killer this one really is the game does not want me that was a good game and it ended what is we got you saw one good one I suppose okay I keep an eye on you don't freaking break again why is it today why are you doing this no idea oh what's this the bear oh that's actually really good yeah I mean it's gonna go for shield yeah if you're the bear you do that you go for look persistent group you and I'm hoping to get the stun I'm not expecting to get the stun yeah wasn't expecting it sure the senator's over attack do a lot of damage yep but I'm I'm home free this next turn we go for guys what do we do I guess all looks could be a good one to come in sure I guess all looks it's got this I don't I'm just happy Sarah Magnus killed that gorgotra bex now I'm really paranoid about that he's been doing so good but two miles away from new bloodshed oh thank you breaking oh we get this done there though there's only so much 67% can give you and apparently that's all oh he's doing it's doing it again okay so he's destroyed my shield I'm just gonna put up another one maybe you have to get another just stall like this because the only thing I've got that's good against it I guess is the crocodile but I know a big hits coming at this can we get another stuff that's the question I'd like another stuff please my bush give me a stunt yeah it's 67% chance will actually stop so I'm oh there's a big one no although say that we do get a counter room which does a thousand damage okay I'm happy with losing Anglosaur looks yeah that's fine let's do one one trade okay well traded well traded now he's still got his attack increase it does have his two to three thousand damage yeah it's gotta be it's gotta be the crock he's faster we could do this one actually and like when does this cool down to cool down so went for that then he went for the shield break okay so we might do it again yes I predicted him I thought he would do that again I thought I thought he'd do that again speed reduced is it enough no he's still quicker than me so went for big kids so he doesn't have his biggest hit right now so yeah he does a lot of damage to be fair to me does a lot of damage but that's the bear gone that's bear gone goga trabex gone and now it's oh I don't think anything can kill my croc in one hit I don't think ref can do it I'd be very surprised if ref can do it let's see let's see what he's got it's two to one it's a frickin ref now it's a case of do I just do this I mean I don't resist attack no okay okay okay okay it's I mean how much damage does he do like five thousand two hundred if I get the stun here it's over it's over if I get the stunt for him unless he's got something good to swap which I don't know oh well it would be very lucky for me to get that so three thousand two hundred we're 25 percent so that's what five thousand off four thousand he's still gonna kill me still gonna kill me with it so with that in mind I don't know if he's gonna kill Sarah Magnus with that but this is the play I think we go for this do we get the stun it's all about orangey at this point we don't get it okay okay it's gonna come yeah here comes a big hit I don't have enough armor don't think Andy also gets okay that's fine that's fine do I go for the giga and go for the heel I've lost this one if I go for the heel and he goes for a little hit you can still kill me he's gonna be quick ah I saw it yeah I think I I don't think it mattered what I did there I don't think so stop prevention I couldn't have slowed him down I don't think yeah it's over oh well GG GG that was that was a good one that was it's a shame that really good match I don't I think it also glitched down I didn't get that's a bucket yeah oh that was close that was so close that's good that's good for me that's really good probably gonna go for a swap but what would he swap to the bears always a good thing to swap to I think that's that's it though the best the only good one he could go to here staying in I guess he does damage to me but if he gets me below my half health then I'm I'm good with the invincibility is man I'm good for invincibility is next it I could try and stun him because I don't think it's 60 67% chance to start the tricky one from the other digging okay burn up and then he's gonna do devastating this this was kind of predictable he just wants to get loads of health now I mean if I know he was doing that I guess I could have switched into no t-rex would have still been slower yeah so there's no point we doing that I may as well I just wanted to hit me enough that I go below half health and I think this will do it yes that's what I wanted the only problem now is that I'm in the realms of paratroops coming in and killing me and I could predict him doing this I mean 5600 is it's a it's a good amount it's a good amount at the same time what's it gonna do you know what fair enough fair enough I'll take that one nil up I'll take the one nil up yeah oh you know what he did very good he did very good to play that to get an anklos looks down to that amount of health with the deer yeah fair play to him well then I guess I guess we go for this he's quicker so he didn't go for it we get this done no no we don't get this done orangey God's not in our favor okay so what's good do I have anything good against this hydro bow is okay Sarah Magnus I guess is pretty decent against it too um rexy I could go you know what rexy actually isn't bad um cuz I could go for a big hit here oh I think he's gonna go yeah he's he's going for orangey okay orangey plays let's go so first don't get the crit but do get through oh and then and then this I think it's killed him no matter what because it does I didn't get through but it's still killed him you'll love to see it okay is this gonna be the victory t-rex for rex is the only thing that can really stop me now oh something's gonna swap in and take off my attack what is it though beautiful and we didn't get as much as we lost for the last game sweet okay I think we'll end it there but our battle for new blood shores will continue offline but if you join this video leave like until next time I see you later oh buh-bye


Hey everyone, welcome back to figure fantasy. We have muscled fella here in the last stage for monster Paradise, which is hell. So let's check out my lineup guys. Okay, just get to give you guys a rundown on the lineups that are that we are going to be using so Zephyr instead of Eryxia Then you have wasuki at the back you have Ryoma in the middle Then you have Midori at the bottom. So hopefully Midori survives this one and let's try this out Okay, so at the start you'll be receiving a lot of damage She just has to hold on. I'm talking about Midori. So there you go She's gonna survive this as long as she survives the initial onslaught. This is going to be good So that is actually the challenge there most of the time she survives it if she doesn't just reset it Because of the RNG the damage receives then everything is going to be good with 7 seconds to spare Okay guys, so that is it. So use Zephyr instead of Eryxia Then thank you guys. Stay safe. Take care. This is the warden and I'm out of here
