So we've done a handful of videos on the Unify NBR, the software, and the cameras, and we're really happy with the system. It's a great deployment. It's got a wonderful user interface, but some people ask, like, how can I get it really simply? Like, I don't want to go through trouble building a machine or doing all this. I just want, you know, a handful of cameras maybe at my house or even a small office, actually, where this is going, which is for camera system. And this is a nice compact, small solution, easy to deploy turnkey from Unify. So this is your UBC NBR-2TB for two terabytes. They recommend this for deployments that aren't going to expand past 20 cameras. Well, this is going in a four-camera setup in kind of a small lobby of a pizza place. So it's your same Unify video software, supports the same Unify cameras that you're used to. So your Unify line of cameras with the Unify software and everything else is supported. The only thing you need is this and the cameras. That's it. There's no other accessories, no licenses to buy or anything else. So we're going to go ahead and unbox it real quick and show you what you get in the box. So we're going to slide the little sleeve off of here. Sorry, we've actually unboxed it once because they had to set it up and then before I had time to do a video on it. So it's actually already been configured, but we'll still go through it. The box has this nice kind of felt spongy, okay, a sponge to keep it really nice and tight in here because it ships with the hard drive installed turnkey, get your get started guide, get the unit itself, which once again, really nice packaging on this. There's some timing care into the device. Now we're going to cover the ports really quick on the device. We've got a Kensington lock hole right here, so we're good on that. Then we have a few ports on it and you're probably going, hey look, it's got HDMI and VGA. Does that mean I can just go through and watch my cameras on this? Sorry, that's not how these devices work. These devices aren't made for viewing the cameras on the device. You're probably seeing a lot of NVRs by other brands that are designed that way. You need a separate computer to view this. This is an important thing if you're trying to figure these out when you want to buy. You don't plug this VGA or HDMI into a monitor and just have a display. I'm sorry it doesn't work that way, but we do have the RJ45 here. It's not wireless. It does have a standard hard line because that's how it's going to communicate with the cameras and the network. All of them, one port, it doesn't have a separate network on here. We've got four USB 2s and on the other side we get a power button, a sleep button, two USB 3.0s. Now if you're going to use more storage for this or an external storage device in place of the two terabytes it came with, not including two, then you would use these USB 3s because you would plug in a USB 3 device. But it's really not what this was designed for. It also has a SD slot over here, MMC slot, and it has a microphone and headset. But once again, these are probably just because, unified spec this out, I'm going to guess from Foxconn because we've seen a similar Foxconn microcomputer that they sell that looks similar to this, but they're not using these extra ports around here. The device itself is nice like piano gloss black, white, nice. I don't want to put my fingers on it so we're going to leave all the plastic, but it's got a wonderful finish on it. So this thing's really sleek looking. In the box we have a little plastic stand because this does have a small, very quiet fan in here. So we set it like this and this is how the unit would present itself when you're having it on here with the ports on the back for the network and then you can see the power light in the front. So pretty small, it doesn't take up a lot of space and you may be, you know, if you're using just a couple of cameras with a couple of the power breaks, you might keep them all really close together or maybe on a shelf in the back room. Once again, because you're not viewing the cameras on this, you're going to view the cameras on the phone app or you're going to view it from another computer. You don't really need to have this anywhere that's really accessible. The other things in the box are of course the power cord. And one thing I'll say for the power cord that they give in this, the power cord is quite long. So this is the power cord end, the standard power brick. And it's about six feet, a little outside the range of how wide I have the lens set to the camera. We've got about six feet of cable here and then another six feet here. They gave you the standard power connector. I refer to them frequently as the Mickey Mouse adapter because it looks like Mickey. Hopefully it doesn't cause a copyright strike. And this, I got it folded half, is about six foot as well. So we have about six foot here. So you have almost 12 feet here of gabling, which is pretty impressive for a power cord. So if it's on a top shelf, this is going to be pretty easy to do. Now I'm going to plug it in real quick. The UniFi software is the same on this as it is on the standard one you download. There's not really any difference. They're running a customized Linux here. I'm going to show you it looks like on the screen just so you can see the output of it. But other than that, it's not a lot else to talk about this as a device. Everything else from outside of the physical aspects of this device are the same as they are for any UniFi NBR if you haven't used one. But I'll go ahead and show you the cameras mounted to it and set up with it and that. So let me move this over. We'll plug it in real quick and I'm going to show you what shows up on the screen. All right, we have the UniFi plugged in. Got a trusty monitor plugged in here just going to hit the power button so it comes on. And it's running. You can see it booting. And by the way, it's super quiet here. If you can even hear it, I can feel the fan but I really can't quite pick up on hearing it. Runs through the boot process and it does boot up relatively fast here and it's ready and it's got the IP address that we should log into. So let's log in IP address. I'm going to show you the specs on the machine real quick and how it works. So when you go to the IP address of the device, this is the 192.1683.72 like we see on the screen here. You're presented with this window. Now click to log in, redirect you to the same IP address, colon 7443, which is your default login port for your UniFi camera system. And like I said, we already have it set up and working. It works perfectly fine. Whoops. Let me refresh the page because I reset it. There we go. The cameras are actually just sitting on the table right now. So there's not much to really look at. Actually, this one looks like it's looking out front through our windows and there. I don't know what that one's looking at. But as you can see, it's fairly fast. No real issues here with these four cameras that we have. Something about the UniFi system is in case you're wondering because you see six cameras here. These are the cameras managed on our system because we put them on the same network. It does notice them but like it says here, managed by other. So we're going to go ahead and here and we're going to set these two. Record motion, hi-res, save. If you haven't done that before, by default they aren't set to record. I've had people say, hey, I missed a bunch of stuff. I'm like, yeah, out of the box. So as you join cameras, the default option is just join them but not necessarily record. So look here at the live view. There's our four cameras. Nothing too exciting here. They're recording and working. Now go over here to settings. Same as any of your other UniFi camera but it has the picture because it realizes it's the NVR itself. It's going in Carl's Pizza so we've already named it Carl's Pizza. But everything else is pretty much the same here. A couple things I did notice is when you're on this page, you may have noticed up here is a little gear icon where you can configure the device itself. Please do that or anyone else will do it for you eventually. And I say that because if this is on a network where other people can log in, the default password, root, and UBNT, we have changed it as part of the security procedure here. So we're going to go log into it with the password we created. And it shows you the percent used, percent free. This is giving you the device statistics. A configuration for the device that does default to DHCP and has a fallback IP address of <IP_ADDRESS>. And by default SSH wasn't enabled and I turned it on. I wanted to be able to SSH into it if I wanted to because that's often how remote managing is if there's ever a problem. But here's where you can reboot, power off, change password, or just to affect, read a default, reset on it. So there's really not a lot of options in here. Pretty straightforward. And I went ahead and I want to do this over in another terminal and bring it over. So here is that the UniFi NVR itself. See the IP address? I thought it was cool because they do have Htop included in it. So it's just pretty straightforward. It's got four gigs of RAM in it. It's a, go back to PROC here, Intel Celeron J1800 CPU at 2.41 gigahertz. So nothing earth shattering about this. I do like that they let you get into the back end of it. So if you wanted to do something custom with this box like adding hard drives, actually that's how the work instruction works. If you want to add a hard drive externally to this, you're going to set it up and mount it here in Linux because it's all a Linux based system. And what is it running on? Yeah, it's all custom Linux UniFi video system. So pretty simple, pretty straightforward. It works well. If you're looking like I said, this is kind of a short review because it's just a simple solution for people who don't want to build their own MVRs. If you don't want to go through trouble, you're looking for something like I said, turnkey, get this, buy a couple cameras, plug them in and away you go and then connect it to your UniFi account. I do recommend doing that because that saves you all the port forwarding headaches. You can either A, open up ports and mess up the firewall or B, use the ubiquity account and it works seamlessly with that. That makes it a lot easier. You just sign up for a free ubiquity account that doesn't cost anything. And also it does this proxy of the connection to one, get rid of the security error two, does all the port forwarding automatically for you via the proxy connection through the UniFi system. But yeah, it seems to work perfectly fine. It's a good little box. If you have a small MVR solution that you're looking for, like I said, you can see how fast this is. There's no for a small four, they say up to 20. It feels like 20 might be pushing it a little bit, but that's what they claim. But if you're just building a small home system, this is a great buy for that. It's not that expensive and well made, a nice little small compact UniFi turnkey system. Thanks for watching.

You want to know what I want to tell the viewers too is that so I try the lipstick color at the fancy department stores Find that perfect shade and take that swatch to the drugstore. You'll get a better deal You know what that's really important that you said that and that's for the reason that I found these perfect Red lipsticks from NYX. They are fabulous and they're cheap too. They're not they're very like anybody could probably afford it Compared to like the $16 range and for a lipstick. You know what I mean?


Here we are in our QuickBooks Online test company file using the account view as opposed to the business view. You can toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top and switching the view down below. We've been looking at tracking the miles using the QuickBooks Online tracking tools primarily focused on giving information to sole proprietors for helping with their tax preparation and the automobile deduction using the mileage method. When in the account view this is located on the left hand side under mileage this is the intro screen we saw last time when we skip that intro screen we see a screen like this. Now I just want to reiterate that most of the information on this screen is not really adding anything to the financial statements the family sheet and the income statement but is more informational type of stuff so before we understand how we can put this into our bookkeeping system to help us with our taxes we want to get an idea of the deductibility of auto expenses on the taxes so let's talk about that now. Most of this information is coming from Publication 334 tax guide for small businesses for individuals who use Schedule C tax year 2022 which you can find on the IRS website irs.gov irs.gov. This is the first page of the form 1040 noting that if you are a sole proprietorship you will typically have another schedule a schedule c that will flow into schedule one and ultimately flow in here to line eight of the form 1040 this is a screenshot of a schedule c which is a profit or loss from business the form typically needed to be added if you are a sole proprietorship and you can see it basically consists of an income statement income minus expenses our focus here is on a particular type of expense that being the auto deductions related to a vehicle type of expense and there's a couple different ways we might deal with being able to take that deduction which will have some implications on how we might be setting up our bookkeeping


So far, I've reviewed the evidence on coconut oil and coconut milk. That suggests neither is good for you, but what about coconut water? When I first learned about athletes using coconut water as like natural gatorade, I did a medical literature search for athletes and coconut, and only came up with this, a study of canine athletes. Turns out, feeding like drug or bomb sniffing dogs coconut oil can sometimes wipe out their ability to smell at all. But what about coconut water? And human athletes, studies on coconut water as an electrolyte replacement beverage date back decades, when coconut water was compared to other beverages and found to be more suitable. But the other beverages they compared it to were like Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, and 7up. You don't really know until you put it to the test. It was found to help in cases of mild dehydration due to childhood diarrhea, despite having an unbalanced electrolyte composition, by which they meant the sodium-potassium ratio was off. Coconut water has so much potassium that people with kidney disease can run into life-threatening hyperkalemia, too much potassium in the blood. If you drink like two quarts of coconut water and don't have normal kidney function, which would otherwise just flush the excess away, people may not realize coconut water has so much potassium. So even if your doctor warns you about staying away from high potassium foods, you may not realize and run into problems. Even one quart a day may be too much for someone whose kidneys have been compromised by diabetes, for example. Cream of tartar is the same kind of thing. People don't realize. It's like 20% pure potassium. And so when they listen to websites claiming it's some natural remedy, even young people with healthy kidneys can run into problems if they take spoonfuls of this stuff, with cream of tartar overdose deaths dating back to the 1800s. But what about rehydration after exercise with fresh young coconut water? Yes, it can help replace fluid loss from diarrhea, but what about fluid loss from heavy exercise? We didn't know until this study. 90 minutes at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, until they lost up to 3% of their body weight, and then they had them drink coconut water versus a sports beverage versus just plain water, and no significant difference in rehydration for any of them. Subsequent study findings were more mixed. Some showed a sports drink beat out water for hydration, but coconut water didn't, or they both beat out water, but not each other. But the reason athletes care about rehydration is that they care about performance. But there had never been any studies on not just measures of hydration, but on physical performance, until this study. They tested water versus coconut water versus coconut water from concentrate versus a standard sports drink. Then they stuck them on a treadmill and timed how long they could go before they collapsed, and they discovered no significant difference between any of them. Plain water did just as good as coconut water. In fact, even better since those drinking the coconut water felt more bloated with upset tummies. Now this was all done at room temperature, about 70 degrees. What about instead at over 90 degrees Fahrenheit? Then the coconut water did seem to beat out water, but time to exhaustion isn't the same as performance. That's something that's routinely used in laboratory studies, but doing something like a time trial test would actually measure speed and performance. But there's never been a head-to-head water versus coconut water time trial until now. Drinking coconut water, bikers make it 10k in 971 seconds. And on plain water, about 5 seconds faster. In other words, no significant difference. The first study on the use of coconut water during exercise and it looks like it's no more beneficial than plain water. How's the coconut water industry going to spin this? They're the ones that funded the study that found no difference between plain water, coconut water, and sports drinks. So did the authors conclude, Vida Coco is no better than water? No. They said coconut water is just as good as sports beverages. Finding athletes and coaches will likely find of most importance. Failing to note that not only did plain water do just as well, it did better because there were twice as much stomach upset in the coconut water groups. But wait, if all the beverages did equally well, then this isn't just a refutation of any special properties to coconut water, but the sports drinks as well. If they did know better than water, are sports drinks just a waste of money? We'll find out next.


As I've talked about before, to help keep cancer promoting growth factors, like IGF1 in check, we need to maintain an adequate but non-excessive protein intake. I talked about what was excessive, but what's adequate. We used to think that the average person needs about 0.3 grams of protein per healthy pound of body weight, or for those metrically-minded, 0.66 grams per kilogram. So it was easy. You divide your ideal weight in pounds by 3, and that's how many grams of protein most people should average in a day, the so-called EAR, the Estimated Average Requirement, but to be on the safe side they recommended closer to 0.4 per pound for the RDA. Well, recently a group of researchers published a paper arguing that there may be fundamental flaws in the ways protein requirements have been calculated in the past based on some faulty assumptions. Taking that into account, the new recommendations from this group, based on this preliminary evidence, would be about 25% higher. They think most people now probably need about 0.4 grams per pound, and so to be on the safe side shoot 4.5. Well, at least that would make it easy to calculate that would be half of our ideal weight in grams of protein per day, or about 1 to 1.2 grams per kilo.


Severe COVID-19 is characterized by an increase in the number and changes in the function of innate immune cells including neutrophils. Neutrophils are affected by the virus in several ways, including decreased activity of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH, which leads to alterations in metabolite levels and production of neutrophil extracellular traps and nets. Locking GAPDH activity prevents neutrophil death and net formation, suggesting that this enzyme plays a key role in the pathology of severe COVID-19. This article was authored by Yafeng Li, Jessica S. Hook, Qing Ding, and others.


What's up everyone? It's Giovanni here from Web Summit 2021. I have the pleasure to be joined by Brittany Kaiser with the blower Cambridge Analytica and Data Rights Activist. How are you doing today, Brittany? I'm great. Thank you so much for having me here. I'm so excited to be at Web Summit in person with everyone, finally. I'm very excited to hear about some very interesting topics that are being discussed here at the Summit from you and specifically about Data Rights. So what is, according to you, the biggest threat right now that is posed on Data Rights and how can cryptocurrency and blockchain technology help confront that threat? I think one of the biggest issues in actually implementing data protection and privacy is that a lot of companies and even governments are not using the technologies that make data protection easy to do, that make compliance easy to do. So when we're thinking about GDPR, when we're thinking about CCPA and other new privacy laws, we need decentralized technologies, blockchain technology, digital ID, tracking and traceability, permission structures, smart contracts in order to make sure that data management from here forward is in the control of the user and that the ways in which data is being used can be auditable, trackable, traceable, and that if data is going to be monetized, that we get to monetize that for our own benefit as well. We know that one of the biggest threats probably to this kind of future is the centralization of data gathering by these large tech giants like for example Facebook. We actually heard not long ago that Facebook is rebranding itself to Meta and so they are kind of launching this idea of a metaverse where people are going to interact on many different levels in a kind of virtual world. So what are your thoughts about that plan? Are you concerned that that metaverse created by Facebook could become another tool in the hands of Facebook for basically gathering and manipulating data from people? Yes, I definitely have that fear. I don't think that a metaverse created by Facebook or run by Mark Zuckerberg is going to be a place where our data is safe or where we're ever going to have any ownership of the value that we create in those spaces. Obviously, there are a lot of decentralized technologies, blockchain technologies that are creating their own metaverses. I mean people can look at Superworld, they can look at Decentraland. There's so many options that are out there where we own our data, where we can monetize that for ourselves, where we actually have control of our digital assets that we're creating in the digital world and that is one of the most important things. So making sure that blockchain technologies can scale and can scale sustainably is one of the main things that I've been working on recently. Actually, I'm interested to know your opinion about some of the speakers of this edition of the Web Summit, because we saw that one of the main speakers at the ceremony of opening was a whistleblower at Facebook that became a very made headlines not long ago. So what does that tell us about the stance taken by the conference itself towards these issues? Like it seems almost like a political statement, the fact that they put her among the speakers at the beginning. Absolutely. Well, in 2019, they advertised Edward Snowden and me as the whistleblowers that were headlining Web Summit. And I was so, I suppose, enthralled by that that one of the most important and largest tech conferences in the world decides to put on the center stage tech whistleblowers and talk about the actual ethics and issues in the industry. Of course, now they're also welcoming many people from the blockchain industry here who are helping solve those problems. And so I think it's a really beautiful thing when you see Web Summit championing activists, championing activists, entrepreneurs and really thinking about Web 3 and what the future of technology should look like. And what do you think about the common perceptions of these kind of problems? Because we saw many whistleblowers actively trying to kind of spread this consciousness, this importance of preserving our own data. But still, even today after you were very active as a whistleblower in the case of Cambridge Analytica, even after that kind of scandal, still Facebook is still a very powerful corporation and people are still using those services. So do you think that people care in general about their data? I do think that people care if they understand the value of their own data and the information that they produce every day. I think one of the bigger issues that we're dealing with in terms of data protection and privacy is a lack of digital literacy. A lot of people don't understand how technology works and therefore they're using it without actually knowing what data is being collected or how that's being used. And therefore it's hard to actually be an advocate for yourself and make the right decisions when you're using technology. So what my hope is, is that as we see the emergence and the large scaling of Web 3 technologies, that it's going to become easy for people to not have to think about their data protection, that they will be using DAPS and large scale decentralized technologies without thinking about that it's running on blockchain on the back end. But they'll use an app where their personal information is not shared. They can share anonymized data sets. They can use the value of their data for themselves. And it doesn't have to be a complex scenario where actually right now we're just at the precipice of seeing global adoption of blockchain technologies. So over the next couple of years, it's going to become a lot easier than it is today for people to know that they can safely and securely use technology. Yeah, definitely literacy is a basic element here. But I would also like to know in terms of technological innovation, what do you think were the main achievements in terms of technological innovation that protects people's data in the last few months? What are the milestones that especially in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency? What are the main innovations that you consider valuable in this sense? And what are you looking forward to see in 2022 from this perspective? So I would say two things in terms of the achievements of the blockchain industry in general. And first is scalability and secondly is sustainability. I'm actually the executive chairman of Griffin Digital Mining. We are the world's largest green and renewable mining company. And so we're not just doing Bitcoin mining, but we'll be expanding into being able to stake and main net validate on tons of other networks to make sure that renewable energy nuclear energy, anything that is carbon neutral can actually allow these technologies to scale and have entire governments, entire multinational corporations running on blockchain. I'm now seeing huge projects that are coming out of public private partnerships with platforms like Casper Labs, who are implementing into entire government infrastructures and entire large scale corporations when you can start running a Casper node, for example. I'm obviously biased, I advise them, but I do believe that we're now seeing scalable blockchain technologies that are not that difficult to put into large scale implementation. So now that we're finally at that place, I don't think that companies or governments have that excuse anymore to say, you know, using these types of large scale encryptions that we either can't do it sustainably or these systems aren't fast enough or scalable enough, we are actually there. So over the coming months and years, we're going to see a lot more adoption now that we've finally reached that place. And I'm curious just as a wrap up question to know your stance on policies. So you are very hopeful in terms of the advancement of this technology. So how the private sector can actually help in developing solutions. But what about policy makers? There should be a cooperation between the private sector and policy makers, or you have this very widespread among them, the most maximalist Bitcoin maximalist, this view of the government and of policy makers as some sort of antagonistic entities in this sense that they will never help us to achieve those ideals of data privacy and that they will be always kind of submissive to these big tech giants. So I believe that most legislators and regulators are trying to do the best to protect their citizens and to make sure that people are leading a better life, therefore trying to stop big tech companies that are bad actors from being a negative effect on society, right? But not all of them have the technical understanding or the teams in place that can really help them understand what laws need to be created or what regulations will actually be impactful. So I've spent a lot of the past four years, not only through the whistleblowing process, but from moving to Wyoming and working with the legislators there and Caitlyn Long on all of the first blockchain legislation initiatives in the United States, that if you bring technologists to work with legislators, they're very happy to engage, they will listen, they will learn how these technologies work. And then we can actually write laws that are enforceable, laws that make sense, and laws that also allow entrepreneurs, not just blockchain entrepreneurs, but anyone in technology that are well meaning, that are trying to do the right thing to build their companies, right? So we don't need too much red tape. We just need common sense legislation to make sure we can build the solutions that will actually make people's lives a better place. Sounds great. Thanks a lot to Brittany. Absolutely. Thank you for having me.


This is Professor Indrajit Mukherjee from Shailesh Jimeta School of Management IIT Bombay. So I will be taking a course on Quality Control and Improvement with Minitab. So what is this course all about what I will discuss that I will briefly tell you in this short video ok. So the course can be divided into two halves I will talk about the first half of the course and second half of the course. So first of the course I will discuss about control aspects of quality and the second half of the course I will discuss about improvement aspects of quality like that. So some of the reference book that I will suggest you to you may see these books which are very good books on quality. So Douglas Montgomery Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, Design and Analysis of Experiment by the same author Amitabh Umitra Fundamentals of Quality Control and Improvement, Besterfield Total Quality Management. Evans book on Management and Control of Quality is also very good. So all these books will give you a brief understanding of quality control and improvement aspects. So these are the reference book you can think of what you can follow to understand what I will deliver in this 20 hours basically ok. So what are the topics that I will cover in the first half of the course that you see that I am trying to show you on the screen. So what I will do is that I will talk about briefly about quality of design and the second part is quality of conformance basically. So quality of design I will talk about boys of quality, canon model, CTQ very briefly, quality function deployment, robust design and design failure mode and effect analysis. Quality of conformance then I will talk about CTQ control factors, controllable factors, noise, variables. So I will talk about what is accuracy precision, then I will talk about why people does inspection, statistical process control, design of experiments like that, different quality methodologies that is TQM, ISO, Six Sigma, Lean. So I will not go into in depth into this because you will get it from some of the web course or video course on quality where these things are more discussed. So I will just give you brief idea about this, about quality of design and quality of conformance that will be the introduction part then I will go to quality control aspects because my emphasis will be how to use Minitab in control and improvement stages like that. So I will use examples to illustrate those things. So quality control aspects I will talk about some quality tools like that, cause and effect, how it is done in Minitab, some examples Pareto chart, visualization which is like scatter diagram, histograms, box plot, bar chart, pie chart like that. So then I will introduce something like I will also introduce this Minitab interface, Minitab 19 interface which is a portion that I will use basically. So then I will talk about more in depth examples on variable control chart, statistical process control which is an important aspects of quality control. So variable control chart, attribute chart, process capability, Z benchmark, Sigma labels, this will be covered with Minitab examples like that. I will also cover something briefly about some hypothesis testing which can also be done in Minitab because these tools are extensively used in quality also. So analysis of variance, so ANOVA analysis like that. So that is the starting point of experimentation basically hypothesis testing. So we need to understand some basic concepts about that. Then measurement system analysis because that is also important because if the instrument is not good in that case and how to use that means how to analyze measurement system analysis in Minitab interface that I will show with few examples like that. Then second half of the course I will try to deliver the quality improvement aspects. So for that what is required is that some understanding of regression. So I will talk about regression aspects of that. So multiple regression, multicollinearity, best subset regression, how to use that in Minitab interface. So I will not talk about much theories on this aspect because every book will explain theories. Some of the courses also will give you some basic idea about theories of regression, many YouTube videos which you can see, but I will I will only show interface of Minitab and how to use that when I am solving a regression type of problems like that. Because this regression is extensively used in design of experiments also. So then I will talk about design of experiments. So I will talk about factorial design. I will also talk about center points in factorial design with some example, blocking in factorial design that also I will try to cover. Then response surface methodology with some examples and then central composite design with some examples. Then multiple response optimization when I have more than one output to optimize what is to be done in that case, multiple response optimization I will also cover. Then fractional factorial design which will give you an idea of screening experimentation that is when you have large number of variables how to do that. Then I will also talk about Taguchi's experimentation which is also used extensively for screening purpose like that. So which also optimizes mean and variance like that. So L4 array, L8 array, L12 some examples. So my focus will be on how to use specific methods for a specific scenario and how to resolve that problem any problems in quality whether it is improvement aspects, whether it is control aspects like that. How to use MINITAB interface basically to solve this one and how to address that problem. And what is the interpretation of MINITAB output basically that I will try to illustrate. So 20 hours is I am expecting that I will try to cover this one, but let us see and hope what I can do in this course. So thank you everyone. So see you in the course. So thank you very much.


Anyway, welcome everyone to For The Minions, the weekly Vodcast podcast, because Mangus can't decide what it is, that I'm one of your hosts, Jeleneese, and with me, as always, is my friend and co-host, Mangus Shmangus. And how are you doing this week, Mangus? What an excellent introduction, Jelly. I am so impressed. I didn't know you were gonna do it. That's amazing. Joining us this week, we have Devilspawn coming back to us, a pro Paragon player from the past. How you doing, Devilspawn? I'm doing fantastic. I'm ready to talk about all the things, about all the things. You went a little Bill Cosby on us for a second. I'm a door-to-fantastic of Mangus. I'm the bird in the jello. So tell everybody a little bit about yourself, your favorite hero in Paragon, how you got started and all that stuff, just to remind them, you have been on the show before, but let's get that done. Right. So my favorite hero has always been Sparrow. Love Sparrow. I'm a carry main. I played in Paragon during the alpha, the beta, everything until version 42, because I was not having it. I was like, I'm done. Understandable. And then, you know, Fortnite killed my favorite game. So that's why I don't play Fortnite. So yeah. Excellent. I also do not play Fortnite. They got rid of building, Mangus. Now you can actually be just as bad as the other noobs.  So. All right. They just committed to playing Fortnite. That's it. Villify him, cancel him. He's out. Dude, I have zero hours on Fortnite. Okay, zero hours. All right. Well, let's move on. Let's talk about the updates. Let's talk about Pred first again, because people are still pretty hyped up over that stress test. And they've been releasing a lot of stats about the test. Like they're total players. There's 68,000 plus. Average match length was 27 minutes, which I think is probably the most impressive stat that they released. And total minutes played 11,018,840. And yeah, let's just, let's talk about that stuff. And let's talk then at Devil's spawn, let's get your impressions of the predecessor stress test. I'm assuming you played it. Did you play it? Yeah, I played it. I didn't get a whole lot of time in it, but I did get, you know, a decent amount because, you know, work and I have to be up at 4 a.m. in the morning every day for work and stuff. So, you know, it's fine, other than that. A real gamer would play at work and get fired. Okay. What I have to save lives is a triple A dispatcher. That can't happen. So, yeah, let's go. You can save lives as Narbash, okay? Come on. You can save digital lives that are more important. That's fair. I didn't say that. I didn't think that stands. That's fair. So, I actually really liked the stress test. It was very, I liked, not stressful. I loved how it has always been the one that felt the most like Paragon back in the day. So, I liked it on that standpoint. But from these numbers, that's a lot of minutes for me personally. Like, I can see, you know, gamers going wild, but I don't see 11 million minutes being played. Well, I did the math in that room. That is mine based on the figures that they gave. Right? If you divide the 11 minutes by 27 and then divide the number you get of that by the amount of players that they say, the 68,000, that is six games per player over the course of that weekend. Oh, I can see that. I can see that. Yeah. Six games? Yeah. So, and that is, there are definitely people like Mangoose and I, I can't say for you double, but Mangoose and I played significantly more than six games. So, we make up for the people that played one game and got off or didn't like it or whatever. So, six games per player is what the average comes out to. I think I played, like, exactly six. Like, I was like... So, you are just average. Congrats. Yeah.  And I, like, did every roll too. There you go. Every roll, and then carry twice, so. I'm just, I'm a little interested to know how they calculate these numbers. That was my thought when I saw this. No.  What I'm saying is, I would just like to know, like, the behind the scenes, like, does that count every player's experience? Or does that count each match? Or does, like, is, like, does, like, a team count for, like, 27 minutes, but then the other team also counts for 20s? Like, I don't know how they come. They, they, they got to that number.  Also, one other thing that I saw on Facebook that you didn't mention, there was, like, five seconds in between, like, match queues were, like, ridiculously short, which was really cool. Like, you instantly could get a match if you wanted one. Then, I didn't put it on here, but, like, the highest win rate hero was Narbash. The lowest win rate hero was Kalari. And the least picked hero was Poor Poor Gadget, which I, which understand that. I understand. Gadget's complicated. I saw maybe one Gadget over the course of the entire weekend, but that did not surprise me in the slightest. Yeah. Gadget's just complicated. She is. And her mind was kind of small. And her passive is designed to be played the way I play Gadget, which is to run into the middle of a team fight, which most people just try and stand back and bomb. Yeah. Like the, I don't know, I'm going to say it's the correct way to play Gadget. But the way I've always been successful with Gadget is by building a little bit of armor on her and getting into the middle of a team fight and blocking people from getting out of my ultimate, blocking people from getting out of my seek and destroy and, you know, putting the minds on my own heads that they explode and kill people. And giving her a passive that gives her an exploding shield whenever she takes damage just supports that style of gameplay. And I think most of the really good Gadgets I've gone against, they get up close and personal and people just don't do that with Gadget. So I don't think people probably did not like the way she was designed for predecessor. Probably the other thing, she's not very flashy when it comes to like, not at all.  Like the other person sees it on their head.  So there's definitely a lot more cool factor in other heroes compared to Gadget. It's that 1930s football helmet that turns people off. I got to say, speaking of cool factor, I don't know why Kalari was the lowest win rate. I know.  Fade away, triple jumping. I think Kalari was low key, the most powerful hero and predecessor. But it required a skill level that people could not achieve within three days. Yeah, right. And that's most reminiscent to me of old Paragon Kalari and before she got reworked is she was terrible for someone that did not know what they were doing. But like, I mean, I was, when the game first came out, I basically one tricked Kalari and quickly got up to one of the higher win rate of Kalari players because it was just, once you figure it out and you learn how to play her exactly the way she needs to be, she can just dominate. I think that's why, like in my one tournament that I did, Kalari was banned. Like we banned Kalari. We're like, no, we're not playing with this champion. It's not happening. Not even going to deal with it. Yeah, she's a really high skill cap hero. And yeah, it was a mishmash of people coming back into the game to head and touch the third person moment forever or what have you playing that Fred Spreston. Fred Strestast, so. The red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red. The thing I'm surprised about is how Narbash came out on top for the win rate. I thought it would be Kai since so easy to play, like easy just to pick up and play. But Narbash is the easier of the two supports to pick. Three supports. There were a lot of jungler choices. Four supports. There were a lot of offline choices. Four supports? Richter Steel. Richter Steel. Oh, I was counting Steel. Muriel and Narbash. Okay, I would say I forgot about Richter too, to be honest. I was thinking just Muriel. You forgot about Magus' fame? Yeah, I did because he's that forgettable, especially when Magus plays him. That's probably because I didn't play him much in his stress test. It was all fame, baby. Yeah, the only time you played him was, I think, or one of the times you played him was game with me and you kept complaining about missing hooks, so I was not impressed. But he's fine. The easiest of the supports that were in the game to just pick up and play. He was very straightforward. He's very easy, comparatively to Muriel, Bellica, Steel, Richter. There's a lot more to play with all of those. That you could play in that stress test. It was a lot. I didn't, whatever. Maybe support. Narbash is just always effective and it's easy to be effective with him and he's especially effective with the items that Predecessor has with all the AoE sort of stuff that they have because he likes to be in the, you know, with a Muriel. Muriel doesn't want to be upfront with the tanks in a team fight. Narbash does and he's radiating that whatever power he has from his items to everybody. So yeah, I can definitely see Narbash be in top win rate at a game with Howitzer where we didn't have a support and they had a Narbash. It made a huge difference late game. Huge difference. He's exactly that. He's the anti-Howitzer, anti-Gideon support. Right, Richter is two to an extent, but Narbash just straight line thunks him. What are you going to do now? Right, like it's that simple. Shut them down very quickly and easily. No big deal. Yeah. The other thing is like he's relevant all the time. Like there's late game supports. There's early game supports, but he's all the time. So yeah. Yeah. I think that that's about all I had to say about Predecessor for this week. I'm sure if you guys want to dig into it further go right ahead. I'm good. I'm good. Okay, sweet. Let's move on. Let's move on to Overprime. Even though Fault had a lot of updates we're going to get into that. But Overprime, they had another community corner and then they released another gameplay video with some of the updates that they've had for Overprime. And some of the things that caught my eye there was a new map intro, which Jelly, you nailed it. Did you see this video, the Sparrow video? Yeah. The capsule shooting out of the, yep. The tinfoil titan does it again. It's man, I've never retired, you know, I'm still here. So then they had a new UI. They had a ping system themselves. They had excellent new item art, a huge upgrade from their old item art. And yeah, they said that they were going to change a lot and they did and they've changed it quick. That stress test, their closed beta test was January. And we're in April. We're in April, they've already changed all this stuff, so. Good track record, yeah.  Dude, she just dominated. They were like, I can't do that well, dude. They were in like the streamer only discord of Overprime talking about, hey, was it this person? Is it who I think it is?   Like, I have no idea, I'm so lost. Like, they all seem to know who that was on the Sparrow.  But yeah, they were good. They were good. Then the other thing coming out of their community corner and I don't know how to feel about this. Partnership with Metaverse Entertainment that creates digital idols. We've already seen Rena, they kind of introed their last closed beta test.   She's not a real person. She's digital, but they're going to add several of these digital idols into Overprime. And we have seen gameplay from one of them, the one with the red jacket and the sword. We saw that a long time ago with them where she does like kind of a Kalari sort of ultimate. I don't know, what do you guys think about this? I think it might be overkill with the... I agree. I think it's a little overkill. Like they may be reaching out to a unique set of players, but you might get like mixed reactions from that unique set of players that's going to hurt you in the long run, in my view. So I think for me, I don't think it's intended for the West. I think for us, this is not a thing that we are accustomed to, right? It's barely scratching the surface over here. In the East, though, this is huge because they're all enveloped in that kind of culture. So we've been saying mangos for months now that Overprime will exist here, but it's way more likely to be a bigger thing in the East. And I think this is just for that, that they're really pushing for that Eastern market, which I can't blame them. I can't say that I expect predecessor or fault to hit that same market in the same way. Yeah, true. I just think it's weird because Adele is kind of like a cute little chick. Then they've got Rena and then they've got whoever this other girl is. It's like just a cavalcade of cute chicks. You'll never hear me complain about a cavalcade of cute chicks until now. Like get some variety in there. Like get some. If you're going to design a new hero, make them cool. Make them like Marsh or like or like Hatch or something. Give us a beast. Give us something really cool to play with, not just another fucking, not just a Shinbi knockoff. This is an insult to Shinbi players. That's what this is. They're going, you said they were going to add all of the Paragon people. So we got, I don't remember what the Elsa person was called. Like Aurora. Yeah, Aurora. They got Aurora. They got they're probably going to do Decker. This thing. I could see like they got a ton of like people they haven't added that just fit that style. Yeah, that way. But the community corners themselves, though, have been absolutely amazing. They really like they've got nice little edits. Of course, they're in Korean, but you can just watch them with subtitles. But they've been really, really good, very informative, but still entertaining.  Those are really good. And these are really good, too. So I'm excited about that. I'm happy about that. And then, of course, they have their 11 day closed beta test coming soon. We still don't know when. I'm not sure when my guess is made, but we'll see. Hopefully soon. I can't wait. Hopefully soon, because like with the predecessor stress test, they I feel like they should put something out for us to play.  People I've been seeing a lot in the comments like, oh, that's bullshit that they removed the tower.  Like I I thought that, too.    This is really fun. We could just get under an hour long games.  Well, you can equate it to so, for instance, there's like so I'm just going to use two terms. There's like League of Legends, which is longer games. You have like the 35 to 45 minute games. Then you have the like Heroes of the Storm, which, you know, is not as popular, but it has the same format where you have one tower, then keep then core done. And it's a lot shorter games. So you could have different communities for each one. Yeah, removing towers is a surefire way to shorten game times. You'd think, I guess I should say. Well, that's the thing. They seem to take all the health and power from that middle tower and just put it on the front tower.  If we could get under hour long games and if I could cast more than two abilities, I'd be happy. It did look like from that video that the manner problem was solved a little bit.   Oh, you know, because I want Muriel to exist because and I will fight anybody in the comments of this video about this. But Primedunk is a completely balanced mechanic on Muriel and I will fight anybody to the ends of the earth on this concept. Man, I just really hope it's a it exists in this game. But yeah, you she was in the last minute test. I don't I didn't see anybody try it, though. That's the thing. Yeah, I didn't I didn't say might do a Muriel dog and I was too obsessed with playing Kayla that I had to I didn't test it myself. But this next test I absolutely will because I need to know. I really hope it is, man. But what what would be cool? So if you think about it, it's perfectly balanced because it puts your team in a four to five situation for the fight. And then Muriel has to actually go in to get the dog. So it's balanced. I agree with you. It's not balanced. Oh, maybe I would make you understand. Even a Muriel day in their work in progress, they had a new skin for Muriel. It's a K-pop idol skin. No, I'm just kidding. It's like like an astro Muriel skin or something like that. Pretty cool looking. She had a halo. She had a red halo. But that was kind of she had that angelic look, right?  All right, so we're probably going to get a devil skin of one of the other characters. You know, I hope we get a devil skin of Muriel so you can have either Angel or Devil Muriel. That'd be that would be cool. Over prime. Listen up. We want a devil skin. We'll give her bat wings in her devil. Yeah. Yeah. And a bikini because she's wings. So many skin lines that Paragon didn't even like attempt. Yeah. Yeah, dude. OK, that's about all I had for a problem. Do you guys have anything else? Let's move on to fall. They just announced it like right before we were starting to record this patch 16.1. I'm just going to go through and list off some of the things that I thought was kind of important from the patch.  But the game size has been reduced from 53 gigs to 14 gigs. So that was a big one for their optimization. Region selector removed and replaced with ping based matchmaking. We're going to be talking quite a bit about that. An interactive scoreboard so you could ping the scoreboard. New items, smoother animations. Several several bug fixes, especially on the map. A new kind of hilarious chat filter. And then the last hitting lifesteal that Jelly you brought up towards the end. So let's go through this starting with the optimization.  I know this, OK, I have the answer because this is something that we've talked about on in the ethereal dev team. And so we have an I have an understanding about this. Faults when they first came out were closer to that 14 gigabyte size. When a year and a half ago, whatever it was, every patch has not been replacing and removing files. It has been adding new files every single time. So every single patch, it's been getting mildly bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. So that's why you end up with a four fifty four gigabyte game over the course of almost two years now is that over every single patch, they're adding a couple hundred megabytes. And so it just stacks up and stacks up and stacks up. So I'm stoked to see that it's finally theoretically figured that out. How to make it not do that. And we it'll stay much closer to this 14 gigabyte size until they actually add new content that increases that size. That should clean up the game quite a bit. Like that might be why because every time they do a patch, their optimization shits the bed and you can't get high frames at all. Maybe that's why it's because it's just adding more burden to the load. But now that load's gone, hopefully we can we can start. Well, I can already run fault in all of the settings at 60 frames per second. But I think that does go settings. We don't talk about Epic here. OK. Epic destroyed my favorite game. OK. I've got it on fortnight settings. Now, let's talk about this region selector removed and replaced with Ping based matchmaking. So you don't queue in a ease. You don't queue EU. You don't queue SA. You just queue and then it automatically matches you with people of similar ping as best as it can. So what you're saying is I won't be able to get in a match until after any dinner. So like eight p.m. my time is what you're saying. No, no, I'm not saying that. OK. So this was a choice, right? Like plain and simple. This was something that I'm sure was not an easy. Decision for them to make. I think we talked about it a little bit before the show. But you said that this is a good decision for them. And I completely agree with that. That is that this is something that because so many NA players already queue EU and vice versa, right? This makes that line easier to cross and it just makes it easier for players to get into games theoretically.  And I'd imagine how it works because this is how the majority of games do it is the longer you're in queue, the more of a threshold it gives you to queue with in terms of pain. So if you start to queue with five ping and then five minutes later, you may be at a range between zero and 50 ping. And so I imagine that that's how theirs is going to work because that's just the most simplistic way that makes sense. Yeah. I'll go ahead. Sorry, I cut y'all. No, but I but so it's one of those 50 50 things. I think this can go bad very fast. But I do think it was a good decision for them as a company. Yeah, I think this would be a horrible, horrible decision for anybody else but fault. Like, I think this is great for fault because what's been happening is people just know that, you know, during the day for NA during the afternoon in a you just auto queue EU because nobody's going to be queued in a then you get to EU and nobody wants to pick ADC because they're all one in a and they all have high ping because they're playing EU. So what's if people would just queue if all the NA players that queue in the EU servers at that time of day would just queue in a they would get games and this is going to solve that. This is going to make it to where you get games matched up with a you know, decent ping and then vice versa in late night. EU can queue and then they'll they'll still get games if if all the EU players were normally queuing in a at a certain point in time. So this will just help them have people because a lot of people get into fault and they try and queue up for a match. They don't don't understand why they can't get into a match. They're like waiting 15 minutes. If you're waiting 15 minutes for a match in fault, then you need to switch your your region. But with this, you no longer have to switch your region. Then they had the interactive scoreboard. This is amazing. And I love that they have this. This is kind of the strength of fault as they they have been a live game for so long that they can add these sort of nice to haves instead of must haves. And this is definitely a this is this is between this is the border. This is a nice to have must have. Like, I don't know why this wasn't in Paragon, but you can click the scoreboard now. You can ping the scoreboard like the scoreboard shows you like the Fang 2 3 spawn time and the Prime Orb respawn time and Red Buff respawn time. You can click that now and it'll alert your team that, hey, Fang 2 is up or Fang 2 is about to respawn or the enemy team's Red Buff is almost up. So, you know that that's where the jungler might be going. This is going to be absolutely amazing. Jelly, what are your thoughts on the interactive scoreboard? Big fan, big, big, big, big fan, especially as a jungler, being able to ping that like Raptors coming up instead of having to type like Raptors in 30 seconds, right? Like that that to me is a insanely valuable tool or tell my carry be like, okay, 20, click the Red Buff says 20 seconds left, carry, go get that in 20 seconds, right? Like just very plain and simple. Keep it easy, keep it concise, but give my team as much information as possible. Devil, what about you? What do you think about this? I think it's actually really good because a lot of times as well, because League has this and for instance, if you see someone go in a random weird build and you want to ping their items, it's actually one of the coolest things to do. It's like, why are you going attack damage on this mage? What are you doing? But yeah, it's really cool. And then like, um, I hope that we can ping the, the like augment points or favor points is what they're called. Um, that'll be cool. Cause then you can be like, Hey, retreat, they have a lot more power than you do. Yeah. No, I think it's super valuable for them for sure. I think this in a roundabout way will make players better too. Once they realize that they should have been looking at their scoreboard throughout the game, cause there's a lot of stuff you need to need to see on there. Like you want to know when Bellica picks up a blank, cause it's like, Hey, watch the corner.  So like being able to ping stuff like that or like, uh, picking that somebody has ring of rejuvenation is like, Hey, um, maybe don't dump all your CC into them so that they don't regen all that health back. You know what I mean? Yep. Cool stuff. And they had some, they had some new items. Uh, they were all cleave items that are all different color variations of cleave. Yeah. Jelly, I know you had something to say about this. Dude, these are ballsy to add into a game that already has cleave by itself, right? And that's part of the reason I say that is the items in predecessor during this last dress test that gave you additional cleave or at least some kind of a we burst made jungle clears the easiest thing on the planet because not only did you auto execute jungle minions, you then also had a cleave, right? And it's just super, super easy. Um, so being able to like pick an item that says, yes, I want more of that. Thank you is a ballsy, ballsy move when, especially when attack, basic attack, heavy junglers are already very prevalent in this only empowers them. This doesn't empower ability based junglers nearly as much. Yeah. Um, the other thing I think is huge is, uh, for instance, uh, me and Maggie's played a vault game earlier and we literally had like eight people standing on top of each other with more cleave, those fights and faster. Mm hmm. So, and the facts to the looking at it real quick, the green and purple cleaver items build out of the gray cleaver item. So the gray one is a component, which means I can get 20 percent additional cleave out of a component. That is insane. Not the final item boost blows my mind. I imagine that item is probably going to cost about 900 gold, which is not enough. That's because honestly, even if I'm not going for one of the fuller cleave items, I could easily purchase just the basic one in enhance my clear so much that it pays for itself. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. The time, the time saved pays for it. I think that's something people overlook and fault too, is that some of the component items are really good. So you don't really, if like, especially if you're playing support, you don't need finished items, but like if you can get the reflect damage item, it doesn't reflect as much damage as thorn shield, but you could pick it up a hell of a lot sooner. And then you could pick up like the item that slows people on basic attacks. You can pick that up. You can pick up the blight item that stops people, people's healing and stuff. That's a really good route to go and fault. It actually says it's 1200 gold. I can't really. Okay. But the crazy thing to me is it's not just the cleave passive. So the basic, it's called rend cleaver gives you increased cleave, 20% additional cleave damage. Great. That is super good by itself. It also comes with an active effect that does damage, flat damage plus 50% of your base attack damage, I assume is what that acronym is in a 600 unit radius around you. So I press a button and it bursts out around me and does damage. That's a big area. This is, this is what my point is, man. He's like, this is broken. If the right characters, this is predecessor had an item almost exactly like this, not in the most recent stress test, but in previous ones that it was, it gave you additional cleave damage. And when you press an active, it did a burst around you. And that was the best fighter item in the entire game because it's not damaged minions. Right. It's not just damaged minions now. Now I press an active and it burst, it burst damage out all over the place. It's like having a double base. 1200 gold. Yeah. It gives you physical power and attack speed on top of both of those things. Like this is just the new jungle item. Sorry, ability based junglers. You all just fell out of the meta with this patch. Yeah. Like, oh, it's bad. Yeah. The crazy thing is you're now going to see a Kai just jump on to like four people go. Okay. Bye. What you're going to see is a thing now. Load, preload his shield, dive in, hamstring his shield explodes. Then he activates this.  Yeah. Yeah. No, it's so giving 50% of your base attack damage is not a lot because you're not course, it's your base. It's not additional, but still it's up the it's going to end. It's on a 15 second cooldown. That's nothing. You're at least one fight depending on the fight. Yeah. That's a Ritter hook cooldown. That's nothing. I'm stoked. Honestly, it makes me want to play jungle so bad. Style on some kids with it, man. And moving on to another thing, animation smoothing, they use the word smoothing. I don't even think that's smoothing. I don't even think that's a word, but they they have smoother animations like the animations are going to flow a little better. They specifically showcase the grucks, but I don't know if this is going to be for everybody or what. I didn't really have too many problems with their animations in the past. Like I especially thought crunch was pretty was done really well. But you know, anything that makes the game better, I think some of their older characters have some clunky animations that like they just don't mesh well with each other. But I don't think they were bad by any means. Yeah, yeah. And I think with the animation, it tells us that. They're paying attention to even the small details, which is really cool too. So one thing I just read on this that I am beyond stoked for, assuming that means what I think it means is hero physics added physics to a large amount of the heroes in the game, including support for the main menu. Chimera's tassels on his axes have never had physics in the main menu, and it has driven me up a wall. I didn't even notice that in the patch notes. I'm just seeing it as I look at it. If his tassels have physics now, I will leave a positive review of fault on the Steam Store because I will literally put Chimera's tassels have physics. That will be my review. If it is, I'm not even kidding. I will do it right now. I don't have the patch notes up. Do they have thing now on there? Because his changes stuck out straight to mean does the same thing. It doesn't say heroes are affected. It just says to a large amount of heroes. OK, awesome. Oh, I will do it. Sephiroth is another one. His very, very stiff room. It's big spell is which hat. I will do. I will. That's something Windu brings up all the time, like every time we have since release, her hat has been too far on her head. That's a topper bun. Check for my review. I swear to God, I'll do it. So you got to post the comments, though. They also included several bug fixes. A vast majority of them were map bug fixes. And thank God. But I don't want to say anything until I actually play after this patch, because it seems like every time they fix something wrong with the map in one place, something else pops up somewhere. It's like they push down here, but it pops up here, you know what I mean? 100 percent. But hopefully they've got it under control finally, because that is super like your own inhibitor would kill you because you just couldn't run past the lip. And there was a I finally found what it was.  Sounds like they fixed quite a few bugs, which I mean, did to do. Yeah, another big one that I see people complain about a lot that I have experienced once or twice, but that's just because that's what I am. Who I am is draft dodging PvE games, AI games, gives you a temporary ban that you can't queue for five minutes or increasingly, depending on how many times you do it. Right. So if I want to go into the game and test one thing and then be like, oh, great, now I have to play a 25 minute game where I get a five minute ban. Thanks so much. Like, so I'm really happy to see that has been fixed because I know that's a gripe for a lot of newer players is that like, oh, I didn't buy the hero that I wanted to play. But now if I alter four out of the game or quit, it's going to give me a five minute ban timer. Like, that's ridiculous for AI matches. Yeah, I agree. Did they had devil and I were looking at this earlier, the chat filter. They had it in the funniest thing ever. The functionality to replace. If you say something mean or inappropriate, it will replace your comment with with a selected selection of their own comments. Jelly, you have the patch notes up. Can you read some of that stuff off? I do. Yeah. So the things that if you say a flagged word or phrase, it may replace it with are, I love you. I'm having so much fun. We got this, guys. Keep up the hard work.  I love that mess. I love fault. I think this is the best game ever. Everyone was doing great. Good job. Great job. There you go. That's all of them. You know what? I used to say all of these phrases all the time, but now people are going to think I'm just trying to curse at them. You see me in every game. I love SMS. I love SMS and predecessor.  They missed GG. Yeah, they did. They did. Another thing, too, I hope they fixed like that. You can type the word caboose. Oh, there's some weird words that are so funny.  It's so weird. I'm not for fault, but in predecessor, I was trying to ask what button something was. And it lags the word button because I put. It was like, oh, that's a bad word. It's in a different word, but that's a bad word. You can't. Can't be saying, but we're caboose. Jesus. What do you think of this chat filter, Neville? You were getting cracking up about it. The chat filter I find is super hilarious. And the crazy thing is like I've actually in many of my league matches typed like we got this, guys. We can win this. So I'm like, now I'm going to feel like I'm cursing at them so I can't see this race. So. Yeah, I love that. I love their example of it, too. You see somebody typing. Chimera is a pussy, but before it types it all the way out at like lower so you can't see what he says. But then when the chat pops up, it's like, we're doing great, guys.  Oh, man, it's so good. It's brilliant feature. I've been saying for ethereal because I've seen this in other games, too, where it does this exact thing. Right. And I've been saying for ethereal that we have to have the same thing because it's just it's so good.  It's like, I love you. Thank you. I love you, too. I can imagine them getting so angry. Put the tilters things, right?  One of the people I play in League loves to just egg on to tilters. So he would be the one to do this. The last thing I want to talk about is last hitting the life steel.  So if the minion has 10 health and you've got 10 percent life still, you only get like one life. You only get one health back. Even if you don't even if you're doing like 500 damage or something like that, you still only get the one health back. They changed it. So it's always how much damage you dealt.  Yeah. It honestly could bring back the life steel meta singlehandedly. Yeah. Because you have where you focus the carry. Carry doesn't have much health, but you're getting health back so you actually have a priority target. Yep. And that's the fact that a carry could walk into a side lane, farm a wave and potentially go back to full health now. Yeah. Whereas before they couldn't do that. That's insane. Like that's this is a big change. The thing that we've I mean from what we talked about just in the today, let alone the patch, the full patch notes is that this is a very meta shifting patch. Yeah. Right. Is that things are going to change drastically because of the changes they made in this patch. This is definitely going to affect carry and lane. But I think also we're going to see a lot of offlaners, maybe even mid laners taking Tebow. Yep.  Yeah. Absolutely. I don't know. Titan's armor is just too good sometimes. But I'm sure people will still try it. All right. That's everything I had for fault. And did you guys have anything else you wanted to say about fault? No. Devil, would you take a fault? Was that we play devil and I played a game earlier? Was that the first time you played fault in a while or? Yeah. What's the first time I played fall in a while? So I was in the crew. I was in the group that I played fault at the beginning. Hated it because it looked awful, awful optimization. Like I had a computer at the time that could run predecessor, sorry, not predecessor, that could run Paragon at epic quality. 60 frames, all of that. So I was like, why is my computer look like trash? What is happening? Yeah. So I was like, played one game. Nope. Back to League and then played another game after that. And I was like, oh, hey, this might actually be fun now. Yeah. So yeah. I mean, it's got it's got its problems, but we had a pretty fun game. Yeah. It was a wild game.  Like devil's like, I don't want to shoot. Yeah, pretty nuts. But yeah. Good times. Let's move on from fault. Let's get into a theory. Oh, theory hasn't released much of anything at all. Jelly, you got anything for us or just still you guys still fly in silent? We're still flying low for the moment. When it happens, you'll know under the old radar. So the last thing last, I guess last big update from material was the Talos skin and the frost skin. Devil, did you see the frost skin? Did you see frost? The wolf phaser beast thing? Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? What do you think of that? So I actually for ethereal, I love how unique all the characters are. Like we're going to have a quadrupled that's just gigantic. And I'm like, what? OK, this is cool.  Are you talking about Grodnark? Yeah, Grodnark. Yeah, from being from this giant orange looking quadruped dude to this gorilla looking. Thing that would be cool. And then frost is this wolf and it's like. Very opposites. And you have Talos two handed. Looks a little like Fangmao, but obviously different because, you know, then you have Dante, which. Dual pistols, which actually I loved playing Dante in the stress test. Thanks again, Jelly for my code. Jelly is actually the one that gave me the code. So yeah. Yeah, I do like how there are a mixture of sci-fi and fantasy because Paragon was always a bit of sci-fi and fantasy. You had the session crew like Grox and more guess and all them that were obviously like very magical base. But then you had the technology guys like like Murdoch and Bellica and stuff like that. And you get you get a lot of that from. A theory. All right. Pretty sweet stuff. Um, do you guys have anything else to say about a theory? Not at the moment. All right. I think we're going to ditch the topic of discussion yet again because we are an hour. I like that. If I could keep these at an hour, I would be I would be so happy. But yeah, we just had a lot more to talk about lately. Then normal with the actual updates. Not a bad thing at all. If I could keep this show is just updates and no talking about topics that would be cool. Although some of our topics are really fun to hit up. But yeah, I'm happy with this one. Will Mangus grow any hair any time soon? I've got hair on your head. I can grow a little bit. Funny thing. OK, so now I'm going to set a new meta for this. Mangus, you can't you can't prove me wrong here.  You could easily have a rat tail that nobody ever has seen.  Oh, my God, please, please, I would make my life so happy. And then and then Maggie was like 50 for the millions later. You go, hey, Joey, look at this. And you just turn around.   Man of many faces.  He meant he loved it. But before, like many things, I don't have like anything to plug, which is the last thing you do. But I just wanted to say if anyone like guest hosts, you look, man, goose loves guest hosts. You don't have to have a camera just like me. I don't have a camera and I've been on here three times. So I met this man goose and they'll get you in and he actually responds. So do it. So do it.  So it's fine. Oh, you're the pretty, you're the pretty boy.  I mean, I knew that. Speaking of boys, because I'm slightly higher than you on the bar does not exactly make me pretty, right? Like you're on the ground and I'm just a step up from there. You're just a two next to one.  Exactly. You I look back.   How about that? All right, Joe, you got anything to plug? Whatever you got to tell yourself, man, nothing this week to plug, man. I'm just happy to be here. I'm having a good time today. It was a fun show. I had a lot of fun this time. I got nothing to plug as usual. You know what? I think I might start streaming on Twitch because streaming on YouTube fucks up my algorithm for my videos. So I might start paying a little bit of attention to my goddamn Twitch channel. Is your is the same name? I don't know. I might I might set up an entirely new Twitch channel with a completely different name and persona. I was kidding.  Yeah, his account that's I am a furry 69 420. But my name on Twitch is man goose gg. But everybody always goes man goose egg. Day nine is like the only one that that actually says my name correctly every time. I don't know why you know, I guess I'm the two next to the one. So I guess I don't. Yeah, but you know, you know who I am.  Anyway, yeah, you are chopper anyway. That is good. That's that's gonna wrap it up for for this week folks. Hope you enjoyed the show. We certainly enjoyed recording this one, but that's going to be all for this week. Tune in next time for more exciting updates. But for now, this is the 4 of the minions crew signing off. You guys have a good one. Bye man goose. Special shout out to channel members foolish blood hunter jelly knees me I'll mix for men's stunt Farith and Raven.
