Games that have restaurantes and apartments without toilets annoy me, it's petty, I know. In Destiny 1 & 2 the games you travel across earth, space stations and derelict cities on mars and venus etc. and not one toilet! they eat, there are restaurantes there is even a robot that loves noodles and no one has ever pooped. I don't question the gun totting space wizards in the game just the lack of toilets, it irks me.

I really like Nerd City's rants and talks, they are super educational and are actually teaching me so much about interesting things I never really cared about before at all. Like the Black Rock one for example was excellent. Thanks guy
I came this discord for Pyro but unexpectedly, stayed because of Nerd. I should've known because of how he makes his videos but he always comes up the wisest.
forspoken has a few classic isekai tropes; 1. parents are involved in the fantasy world; usually kings or queens 2. starts out with legendary object and/or is somehow the magical exception to the norm 3. death of mildly relevant character results in MC gaining motivation to kill the dark lord 4. completely hops, and/or never even thinks about, the language barrier, with bullshit logic nobody explains 5. kills off about 1 character the entire time, usually at the start 6. set in not-rome medieval rome. 7. protagonist (usually from modern day society) uses lots of cool hip slang like the kids do, and the world's natives dont understand its weird that forspoken wasn't a book. it'd probably be BETTER as a book.
Someone said had it been a kingdom hearts game it would have been more accepted. In fact, had it been just a normal run of the mill japanese Isekai it would be perfectly accepted. American gamers do not accept Isekai concepts well especially when it's marketed to be something else
@@Fanrose2475 I haven't played kingdom hearts so take this with a grain of salt to be honest I doubt that, simply because the dialogue was so unbearable for a large amount of people, and the story wouldn't have felt like an anime (or even an anime game, tbh, but I've only played danganronpa.) the game was poorly received for a few, rather fundamental reasons; the pricetag, the dialogue, the cut scenes, and the fact it lacked any challenge.

"I don't play video games". Neither do I nerd, but I could watch pyro and co talk about games for 10 hours, especially bad games. To be fair I probably already do that sometimes with pyro at least. One of the funniest episodes so far, loved it.
That Vessi ad is killing me, I am wheezing~ But goddammit you guys, will you make some content on your own channels please? Looking at you, Nerd! I bought your damn Nerd City poster and you haven't made a video since! It's a thing of beauty. But my wall is breaking my heart on a daily basis, reminding me of the bittersweet memory of a channel without a pulse...
Thanks man. I am, I’ve just bit off more than I could chew for a couple videos. But I’m going to make some adjustments and release bigger projects in chapters from now on
Colossal is right.. Remember the Heavy Rain shower scenes? What happened to hygiene in gaming.. No wonder conventions smell like that, they've been failed
Currently living in Oxford. A lot of the conversation is purely on travel, trying to reduce car emissions by encouraging a closer network of wants and needs. Oxford as a city is very anti-car, with the high street only having buses and taxis on it. We all received these anti-15 minute city pamphlets through our doors but all the concerns were vastly irrelevant to what Nerd City was concerned about. It was terrible. All the opposition was like: "Oh no, it's gonna take ages to take your kids to the park, wasting valuable time and you'll end up not even bothering and your kids will be soooo upset". Like what? Is that all you've got? I think this is telling that either this pamphlet was just so ignorant, or that Nerd's issues with the system aren't actually where the idea of 15 minute cities is heading, focusing less on segregated city areas and more on encouraging less car use. Either way, being a student who walks everywhere in the city to get to shops, lectures, pubs, nightclubs etc, it doesn't really affect me so maybe my understanding of it isn't at all in the right ballpark...
As a European I'm all for liveable cities, where I live it's very easy to get around the city without a car but this idea of giving fines to people for leaving your area is the stupidest thing I've heard in years. And this whole notion of reducing emissions is dwarfed by the emissions of industry. It's always companies trying to draw attention away from themselves and onto the people for causing climate change
Thanks for that amazing Vessi add just a few minutes after I was recovering from a mental breakdown where I realised no matter what I did it usually just amounted to nothing and that I always felt just as insecure and non proud of myself as I always have
The whole 15 minute city concept is misunderstood here, it's about not needing a car to get from a suburb where there's literally nothing, no stores, no entertainment, only housing without even a fucking bus stop because it's highly inefficient, to anywhere, it's very inefficient american suburbs that are the worst offenders in this case, but it's not only americans that need changing. AdamSomething has a few videos about it where he explains the concept in more detail and with much better clarity than I could here.
Honestly I've never remembered a single RUclips video ad read until the entire copy was yelled into my ears for several minutes, it's super effective! I'll never forget the name Vessi again!
1:15 That seems like a really easy thing to fix. That's literally the first thing you do when writing draw code for OpenGL. That's like compiling a program like Hello World (which usually doesn't take a lot of time) but on _every single frame._ Compiling is not resource cheap.
I'm glad Colossal also fell alseep watching Pyro play... I watched the whole stream... Except I also fell asleep at some point and woke up for the last hour. The nap was the best part of me experiencing that game.
Vessi , if you are watching this, please know that collosal is great for your brand, I always skip ads but not when it's collosal. Keep giving them money. Manscaped you need to get collosal back on your marketing job. I just skipped your ad lol
It was around 19:20 where I finally broke and started nervous laughing and turning my volume down. You'd think I would know by now how Colossal is LMAO
The biggest downside to car focused cities is just how much space we dedicate to it. We build massive multilane roads, sure... but just how much space do we dedicate to parking as well. The big benefit behind enabling people to shop within walking/transit distance is that then you can reduce parking areas freeing up space to be used for more buildings. Someone did the math, I think it was strongtowns, but if you take a Walmart and its parking lot and convert that to a block of housing with some supermarkets and small local shops you can not only serve more people than that walmart but you can also house hundreds of people in the same space. But if we're focusing on space, suburbs are the main cause. People live away from their work and their shopping which means they have no choice to drive which means we need giant block stores and parking lots to serve them, Surburbia was really big in the post war which coincided with the construction boom that established the cities we know today. Its also expensive AF to maintain, the infrastructure required for a 1 family home costs more than the city will make from them in property tax and licenses. Having half your property be lawn (average bylaw in suburbs) means the town needs to pay for double the infrastructure, you cannot expand your home if your family should grow, and contributes to the housing crises because cities cannot legally be more dense, only more wide. Its bad for the home owner, the renter, the city, and nature. Why do we do this? Its literally illegal in the US and Canada to do much else, zoning laws are often used to make pretty cities, not livable ones. The people making the zoning laws are overwhelmingly people who don't need to consider how convenient and cheap shopping is (young or broke people don't attend municipal meetings which they really should, your city has more impact on your life than your country, often enough!).
tl;dr instead of targeting individuals to combat the inaccessibility of cities, you need to target infrastructure, laws, and construction. You shouldn't be punishing individuals because this isn't an individual problem, its a problem of statistics that is the city's job to change... not the average driver
Americans using their shitshow cities to justify our European cities getting turned into oppressive hellholes because our politicians got give some cool envelopes of cash from these dudes in Austria. Car free cities can only be voluntary if you want anything but the government fining poor people for commuting
@@nxxynx5039 i think "car free" especially in america is an unreasonable goal, but i think "cars optional" should be the goal. More often than not it feels hostile to walk anywhere. No protection from the elements (say trees providing shade, rain, and wind cover for example) on the sidewalk, few crosswalks and inconvenient/terrifying places to cross as intersections, long distances from where you start and the nearest service you need, few busroutes resulting in long walks to catch a bus to another long walk, etc. I dont think we should be punishing car ownership like buffalo tried, but i do think we should try to make life easier for those who dont have a car. I think if you made it easier to live without a car in big cities less people would waste money on a car they dont want and it would remove traffic for those who want to drive
Colossus really is the old grandpa/uncle in the group since he definitely loves to emphasize how dirty or crusty a black person looked like to him. And him doing the ebonics voice too 😭
My favorite parts are always the topics nerd brings up it’s nice hearing about something that he seems to have looked into. Also how tf do some people not like the colossal ad reads that’s blasphemous
I guess the bit might have worn out for some people, I still enjoy them though. I hope the sponsors will catch on to Oliver reading the ads verbatim and start preparing insane scripts for TBH
Aussiemandias? Anaylse this rq Aussie = Australian Mandias = Ruler of ruler of Australians? Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
the section on urbanism was interesting but its important to note that 15-minute cities are focused on regulating car use, in cities, not just generally travelling between areas. also any actual urbanist hates the idea of the line, its just a ridiculous vanity project
Regulating car use through governmental financial oppression just means us poors are restricted to zones. We have trial versions here in Europe and they are dramatically unpopular amongst the working class.
@@nxxynx5039 the UK has them too and are popular, actually. they arent supposed to do what you suggest at all. however, they ARE supposed to be introduced with adequate public transport connecting other areas, so id rather see places like frankfurt, barcelona, london or paris do it first with their extensive metros. stopping cars moving around cities unregulated neatly solves a lot of our cities’ problems, mostly because they are caused by cars nowadays
Hearing them talk about TLOU being the best show based off of a video game hurts the soul. I guess everyone forgot that Arcane exists, or that these guys didn't watch it.

No protection from the elements (say trees providing shade, rain, and wind cover for example) on the sidewalk, few crosswalks and inconvenient/terrifying places to cross as intersections, long distances from where you start and the nearest service you need, few busroutes resulting in long walks to catch a bus to another long walk, etc.
I dont think we should be punishing car ownership like buffalo tried, but i do think we should try to make life easier for those who dont have a car. I think if you made it easier to live without a car in big cities less people would waste money on a car they dont want and it would remove traffic for those who want to drive
Colossus really is the old grandpa/uncle in the group since he definitely loves to emphasize how dirty or crusty a black person looked like to him. And him doing the ebonics voice too 😭
Colossal - "Pyro's stream"
Subtitles - "Pirate Street"
First episode I watched of this podcast. I didn't expect to watch the entire thing but it was much more entertaining than I thought
The sponsor parts in this podcast are legendary 🙌
"The Yard" but problematic
And somehow nowhere near as vulgar
I love how miserable nerd city is in this episode, really adds value
Clown “generic black woman from New York”
Literally this is so accurate
My favorite parts are always the topics nerd brings up it’s nice hearing about something that he seems to have looked into. Also how tf do some people not like the colossal ad reads that’s blasphemous
I guess the bit might have worn out for some people, I still enjoy them though. I hope the sponsors will catch on to Oliver reading the ads verbatim and start preparing insane scripts for TBH
No reference to red dead horse testicles
I like how they just keep talking over him while he really gets into the ad.
Oh man if you wont get cancelled by this episode thats a fucking achivement
Colossal does the ad reads like Lord Farquad
17:09
19:50
31:35
My fav Clown moment
Based Clown
I love when the main character was fighting the final boss and said "You are Forspoken" and Forspokens all over the place
18:59 lmao i dont think ive ever heard Nerd laugh like that
Sounds like a collasal laugh
colossal is just the judge from blood meridian
Aussiemandias?
Anaylse this rq
Aussie = Australian
Mandias = Ruler of
ruler of Australians?
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
32:31 Colossal is Crazy try not to get TBH almost cancelled again challenge (impossible)
God, the chaos of the ad read, I don’t even know what the fuck is being sold but I still want one XD
Great job at titling this episode Pyro!
That was the best ad ever i didnt even skip it
I cant believe that Nerd commited to being addicted to videogames in this episode, i feel betrayed
i cant believe the sponsors are letting colossal get away with these reads.
the section on urbanism was interesting but its important to note that 15-minute cities are focused on regulating car use, in cities, not just generally travelling between areas.
also any actual urbanist hates the idea of the line, its just a ridiculous vanity project
I mean, any urbanist starter pack is highway le bad, train le good, Dubai is cringe and fuck Elon Musk
Regulating car use through governmental financial oppression just means us poors are restricted to zones. We have trial versions here in Europe and they are dramatically unpopular amongst the working class.
@@nxxynx5039 the UK has them too and are popular, actually. they arent supposed to do what you suggest at all. however, they ARE supposed to be introduced with adequate public transport connecting other areas, so id rather see places like frankfurt, barcelona, london or paris do it first with their extensive metros.
stopping cars moving around cities unregulated neatly solves a lot of our cities’ problems, mostly because they are caused by cars nowadays
@@whiskeyandchokebased
Colossal ads are the only ads I don't skip
Hearing them talk about TLOU being the best show based off of a video game hurts the soul. I guess everyone forgot that Arcane exists, or that these guys didn't watch it.
I mentioned Arcane and Edgerunners as other good adaptions but it didn't make the cut for whatever reason
@@DolanDarker Makes sense, I forgot that these are cut down. Just found it interesting.
Imagine caring about a Riot property lol.
@@bfgfanatic1747don't care
arcane is good
same for LOR
