how the waters are completely melted hello oh we're now we're now we're encoding frames there we go welcome to the hot show pool show yeah really welted ice and condensation show the web show live streaming to you here from beautiful ice and condensation show yeah well that condensation can we enjoy every ways on April Fool's we should just change what the show is about and be super hardcore about whatever it is yeah I could be like that chicken show like all the latest news about chickens chickens chicken farming chicken breeding is chicken breeding chicken farming whoa cuz you like you like so chickens and then you harvest chickens what spectively well that's animal husbandry yeah yeah that's right welcome to the animal husbandry and farming show we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today including Nvidia's GTX 1000 I didn't know if you're ready for that one you took that from me or also some bad news about the GTX 1080 with respect to SLI if you're super hardcore into having like lots of graphics cards yes or not that bad news but we'll talk about that later yeah Oxford study finds that virtual reality can help treat severe paranoia which is wheat and the Hyperloop one shows us how fast we could get from here to there kinda more at 11 also known as now oh I'm so just sit in here everything about me is damn all right so in videos 1000 series oh I was just gonna say it has been a freaking week yeah he went to the unveiling of the GTX 1080 and 1070 why did they call it the 1080 yeah do they enjoy creating confusion like the whole time I was like okay no one's confused yet but I've only talked to like reviewers and like tech heads and then I talked to Taryn and he was like wait does that mean it's a 1080 card or a fork a card can it play 4k games and I'm like oh damn it and people are gonna walk into a story okay and you're gonna have a big box sales rep and they're gonna say I want to buy a 1080 they're gonna be like LG Samsung Asus and the customers can be like uh Samsung is a good brand I'll have a 1080 Samsung yep and yeah it's gonna be bad because that's not gonna be what they meant to buy and it's gonna be a big problem so for those of you doubting that we are actually in a jungle that sound effect could not possibly have been pre-recorded and added into the stream after the fact and we've got a doubter that we're even live right now yeah we've got hold on hold on let me let me scroll back up for a second yester 61 come on you are you are the real gesture we are like oh my goodness we are no one no one we get on this all the time oh you guys aren't live all right well we're gonna tell you lie like every show about the GTX 1080 so let me just that original poster here is Oh apparently no one so I'm gonna pull up the original article here from a non tech get this on the screen Luke was there though he doesn't need an article from a non tech walk us through what you ex Barry adds so one thing that I want to address like immediately because I think this is really important is because it sounds awesome the performance sounds great people aren't benchmarking you'll maybe hear about that later super ambiguous no real details thing but ya know like usual benchmarks yes but they did claim two times the performance of a Titan X and three times the efficiency of a Titan X power efficiency uh that I did have a little caveat there that was VR specifically and we'll get more into it later there's like a software thing that they're doing that's allowing them to get more performance in VR which is still interesting to me super as someone who definitely has a vive in the mail yeah not in the mail yet yeah soon to be in the mail and talking to some of the Nvidia guys after the event J's two cents and I were like yo you didn't talk about DX eleven or twelve at all because honestly in their press event I didn't see enough people complaining about this they didn't mention those performance metrics once so we asked them what was going on there and they said it should be 25 20 15 percent faster than two nine 80s or 92 I or attend X which makes sense because I mean if you look at the specs it's like yeah it's got a lot more clock speed yeah it's on a new process note 16 nanometer but they are pulling the same thing that they've now done for three generations including this one where they released their second from the top tier chip which traditionally would have been like if you go all the way back to the 400 series that traditionally would have been a 460 okay like the equivalent die size chip until they're releasing that as a high-end and then they're gonna follow it up presumably with I can never keep dropping 100 yeah with a GP 100 G P 104 yes so the the 1080 in the 1070 our GP 104 and the presumably Titan whatever type Y yellow Titan Mexico Mexico edition I don't know cuz it's hot so whatever that is and the 1080 Ti and or whatever else possibly will be the GP one by the way I finally figured it out cuz I was like they always have these letters in the code names okay it's GeForce Kepler number oh my god he forced maxwell numbers that's why the that's why the me that's why the p 100 isn't GP 100 because it's just pascal 100 it is not the gamer skew oh my god that makes so much sense finally clued me into it so that's your do you read that no I was just thinking about I was like okay so it's called GP 104 now I get to remember another stupid I don't I don't know so that's gf Fermi GT yeah I know but I got you yeah but finally it all lines up I am an idiot anyway that's probably telling us we're dumb I know here comes it's always with the time always with the time delay ah alright what else you got from the event there okay so there was four major features so you guys almost the specs it was 8 gigabytes gddr5 X and that was on V 1080 and then it was 8 gigabytes still but GD r 5 which is probably completely fine Oh 1070 1070 is just 8 gigabytes of gddr5 but that's probably completely fine we'll get benchmarks of that at some point sorry I had some paperwork oh but at one quote that they have is that the GTX 1080 and presumably 1070 is built to make the most of today's multi-monitor setups curved screens and head mounted displays and that's like a thing the reason why they brought that up with simultaneous multi-project which is something that they've been working on where they can and they've had stuff like this in the past but this is much more so they're making it so that they can render more than one like viewing angle at once so basically if you have a multi monitor setup yeah this is super cool you're gonna like this a lot if you have a multi-monitor setup and I explained this in the software video a little bit but I'm gonna go into it more here your multi-monitor setup usually with your displays curved on the side because you'd have them angled in towards you you mean more like angled on this angled on the size display is there a difference and curved displays also have this problem yes that's true yeah yes lately different like I mean maybe not most of the ones that are out there now but like remember that prototype that Alienware showed off that's super curved one that would definitely suffer from from distortion of the rendering and sometimes even just having a crazy wide screen like playing in 21 by 9 at all yeah we'll have these problems it's not as big of a deal I didn't really cover this much in the individual video because it's kind of a use case scenario depending on what game you play and stuff if they support that resolution a lot of times they don't so it stretches it and to stretch it you have these warping problems yeah where the scale is screwed up on a lot of the objects on the side like the cockpit oh yeah the bars for the for the window of the cockpit are like this their master side yeah yeah you play rocket League and everything on the sides is warped out and this happens when you have multiple displays as well and it's even worse because you angle them in and then things like break as they go across the screen because the angle that you have them on doesn't look right and stuff right simultaneous multi-project should theoretically fix all of these things I don't know how and I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually yeah but the they can figure out that the angle of your screens and I can solve that problem and line everything up for you so if you're aiming at something even across angled screens it will be flat that is incredible and and they fix the there's no there's no more skew there's no more warping going on they fix all that kind of stuff the scales fixed I should have put an asterisk on that that's incredible wow that's incredible tell me more if it works if does it require game dev support do we even know this yet can we talk about this yet no if we know that yet okay what else we got then let's talk about the one you're stoked on Ansel yeah okay so angels' really cool I don't know if we have the games that are supported for it right now this one does need dev support I don't see a game list here I did mention the entire game list in my video one of them is like the division I'll try and pull it up just talk about the feature for now what angela is is essentially a incredibly badass screenshot software which when he told me about it I was like okay yeah I had to asterisk that with like trust me it's interesting in the video as well because like no it's actually really cool it can screenshot things I don't remember the exact resolution but it's up to up to 32 times your monitors resolution and then there's another resolution number which is like whatever when you hit first but it's like 65,000 by 32,000 or something ridiculous now so they showed it off with this ginormous canvas about 15 by 3 meters created using Ansel that has a two gigapixel capture from The Witcher 3 now to be clear none of this is going to make your game that you're playing run at that kind of a resolution no that is not how it works but in much the same way that dynamic super resolution which they launched with the 980 can take more samples like it can kind of go okay what if we were rendering the game at four times the resolution then you're basically running a render of the scene yes and then instead of just having it go from your view it's rendering everything so the camera will actually what you do in order to perform an Ansel screenshot isn't just press print screen they wanted to say this a million times during the show yeah like no more print screen button although hopefully you can find it or something because that would be cool but it like pauses the game you get a free cam so say you have like say I'm like punching you and my heads down here you could change the camera so that instead of like being out here and it's a fighting game the camera is now looking up at me an angle that you would never be able to get traditionally it would then move once you tell it to take the screenshot who then move the camera around and make sure that it gets everything from everyday different angle and one situation that they showed with The Witcher is they took a screenshot like really far out of what I believe was a castle for going off of memory yeah and then they were like okay but because of the insane resolution you can zoom all the way in through this window and then look at a book and see the printing on the book which is really cool and this allows you to do things like there's really not that many notes but there's something called EXR which for camera people means that it has like amazingly good color information it's basically like taking a a raw photo right so you could essentially like change the lighting in the scenes right make it basically b-day even if the photo was taken like at night and you can do a lot of really cool things in terms of cropping you can even take 360 degree photos so if you want to like one thing that I thought of would have been really cool you have to enable the game developer has to enable it so this wouldn't be paused so I've got that list Witcher 3 was used to show it off other games that have announced ants will support include the division the witness lawbreakers Paragon no man's sky Unreal Tournament and abduction so there you go there's the at the event someone asked if it would work with shadow play so you could go back into a shadow play recording and then run Ansel and I said that they would not comment on it yet that doesn't seem like it sure doesn't seem possible that really doesn't seem like it should work has to know cuz I thought the way shadow plays working is it's basically just an h.264 yeah coding of I was surprised that the guy seemed enthusiastic when he said that they can't comment on it yeah so I'm not really sure how that works I would have thought the answer would have been no y-yes like so but let me knows maybe they're changing shadow play maybe Nvidia hasn't been entirely transparent about how shadow play works yeah so I don't know that's that seems pretty freakin to be very cool if you could go like wow that was cool let me go back and like make sure I have a really cool render of that because something I would have really liked is uh I'm gonna talk about classic Wow again when Myst rallies went down there was all those like people gathering yes and all that kind of stuff they release something called mr. Elias memories I believe it's called yeah where you can go back in and like be there again it would be super cool if Angela existed so you could get like crazy angles like way above where everyone was right you have really interesting views it's not built into the game so it will not work but that's the first thing I thought of was if this was enabled way back right and it definitely didn't exist it would have been super cool to have those kind of screen shots something that you could relive and you could take a 360-degree photo this is gonna make people so hungry for like 16 K monitors and like eight to ten times more powerful GPUs because honestly going back and playing games that you haven't played since you were running you know like you know even going back and playing something like far cry 1 which you might have run the first time on like a you know 6600 GT or something like that it is amazing how much more is left in those games when you run them on more powerful hardware and you really cranked up all the details especially these engines that scale well this is not increasing the resolution of the game no not what you're actually running yes just taking a high-resolution screen shot so it's what it would look like if you could do that yeah so like one really cool thing too is you can take these photos and then there's an app for your phone now Nvidia VR viewer I believe it's called and you can send the ansel screenshot to that app and then view it in like a Google cardboard or something they gave everyone at the event Google card playful so that we would be able to do that obviously haven't been able to yet because don't have it but that will be very cool 170 so there's some more VR features path traced audio which is you know for regular two-dimensional gaming also applicable but for VR is particularly important so and like needs to be pinpoint accurate so that's very cool that they're working on that one thing that I mean I don't have a lot to say about this there's a path traced audio it should massively increase the precision of you being able to figure out where things are based on sound which is super cool yeah you should be able to tell if things in another room yeah or if it's behind some things or if it goes from being behind something to being not behind something yes exactly something that like all of the 3d audio solutions that exist today quite frankly just are not good enough at from my experience up there I've heard this is completely hearsay but I've heard that one of the main guys that they have working on this used to work with like the US military on like sound stuff in terms of like taking the reverberation of sounds in order to find snipers and tanks and stuff within cities from like super far away so like I'm glad he's working on something important now yeah yeah well I'm assuming he figured that stuff out but like so he's probably pretty good I don't know so that should be cool and one thing that I'm super excited for is I know it sounds really lame visually but it would actually be a lot of fun to do is if they release like if Disney releases like a small tech demo where you get to do the training droid fight hmm so if it like if you go to put your helmet on and then becomes black and then you just hear where the training droid is and it takes shots and you have to try to block that would be crazy that would be so much fun it sounds so stupid visually because you literally put a headset on in order to see blackness yeah but like it would be really fun that would be really fun yeah I don't know so of really fun this was originally posted by a ln1 1/8 the original article here is from OSI overclocked 3d dotnet let's go ahead and pull this baby up so remember a member of the EVGA tech support team has confirmed that the 1080 will be limited and assuming assuming the rest of the lineup will be limited to two-way SLI and they said that we can confirm that 1080 cards only support up to 2-way SLI and anything above this will not work no matter the SLI bridge just to explain that last point there's a new sli bridge can you use an old one theoretically no I've heard I don't know I no one really knows I even contacted them seeing if we could get another card to test SLI because it's supposed to be new and improved and stuff yeah and they're like no no one's getting that yet they will be eventually but they're like well we want to keep fair ground so you guys can't be the only one with that slight test yeah now and I was told in that that I would need the new s leverage so yeah I think you have to use the new s elaborate okay it hasn't been like outright confirmed interesting but yes Li bridge has been with us for like 10 years I think yes and 6000 series of the holy crap and something that I did notice was if you look you might be able to pull this up right now maybe not if you look at my coverage of the wind we're having the talk with all of us in the room I have some b-roll of a system that was built by BS mods they're awesome check them out and it has two cards in it in SLI not three not four only two and it has the new sli bridge on it yeah and it's big and that matters because I was checking out my sample card because when I first read this I was like what's mine had two fingers on it and it does I double-checked it has two sli fingers on it but the SLI bridge was big so I think what they're really doing is just teeming the SLI lanes yeah cuz they even said it's double them really so they're just teaming me slightly it's like I'm pretty sure it's not confirmed but like that that the bridge is big meaning it's probably taking up both of them and there are two fingers on my car I don't have it here but like I guarantee do you think they're gonna let us just put on two old bridges or do you think they did something stupid like like cross the paths internally on the bridge so people can't do that I'm assuming there is some type of internal logic that teams them together okay which but then is that I don't know why it separately Pressley I mean I don't know if motherboard many fish is gonna include that especially a different spacing really that's the thing I love progress as much as anyone but when you have such a staple as the SLI bridge like who like I have like multiple pins and SLI bridges I have your favorite one I have like about yeah like I got my old EFI LAN party one with the black PCB like huh and one thing that was interesting was I expected before I went to the event that in our like duty bag which had the April Fool's energy drinking like yeah lift bar and stuff which is actually kind of funny they were gonna be giving us an S lie bridge right the reason why I thought that was because on the like press signup page right it was a question asking us what our favorite motherboard spacing for two-way SLI was and then no and then no yeah so I'm wondering if they were pulling everyone that went to the event to figure out which spacings they should have more available I hope this is from Nvidia calm yeah that would suck I'm not okay personally I'm not super worried that we're now limited to - yeah it's 3 & 4 is pretty dumb we've talked about it time and time again 3 & 4 is not good even if the FPS number is higher like people who send me their system config and they're like yeah I'm getting 3 cuz I'm a super BA do you you end up like no actually you just get stuttering and it's yeah and compatibility issues and lint and it's just bad go out go back and watch the compensator that had for four cards yeah 4 9 82 for Tet tight for tight Nexus I think I think so yeah we're trying Nexus and like it was unplayable in anything yeah cuz so much stuttering and like just yeah it was gross to play any things on anything on that machine and I'm hoping that if they're limited to two now they will just analogous on to completely explain the the limitation to two as well if it's just too old bridge's yeah because you couldn't yeah okay okay okay I think you cracked the code I think so speaking of cracking the code if you were thinking yourself gee I sure wish I could launch a new career as a code cracker I actually don't know that lynda.com has code cracking of course but you could learn programming yes maybe lead you into that kind of feel I wasn't even gonna try and bring it into something they actually teach we did it though but we did it we did it so they've got web development photography visual doesn't you excel business where you can store your crack training software like Photoshop word is where you could like write documentation for other people like how you cracked the code so all the courses are taught by industry experts with new courses at it every week and whether you're setting new financial goals for yourself finding work/life balance investing in a new hobby or you just want to ask your boss for a raise lynda.com could be your path to it they've got tons of great features like being able to browse along with the course transcript and just click anywhere on the text and to that point in the video I've used that many times actually the ability to download to your iOS or Android app and watch offline when you're on a bus say for example time that would have been otherwise wasted and plans started only 25 bucks a month so all you got to do to get a 10 day free trial is head over to lynda.com slash Rancho which we will have linked in the video description this describes you our next sponsor is tunnel bear the Bears that tunnel boy do they ever tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN app for mobile and desktop it lets you tunnel through up to 20 different countries for your internet access not up to you just do one of them at a time so any of 20 different countries and that means that you can use online services and browse the Internet as though you're there so they make it easy there's no DNS configuration port forwarding any other nonsense like that you download the app which is available for the PC Mac iOS Android they've even got a Chrome extension and then you just go I want to be from oh gee I don't know the United States because I I love you know us web services say for example and boom your connection gets encrypted and your public IP switches to an American one that allows you to watch the flick Comedy Central I think that's right and you can try out a tunnel bear for free to find out if it's right for you with 500 megabytes of data and no credit card required by heading on a tell bear comm slash man where you can also save 10% on your paid unlimited tunneled bear subscription speaking of unlimited we don't monetize your unlimited time in the day what are we talking about fresh books yeah fresh books yeah because you don't have unlimited time to monetize your whatever he was talking about let's just do them both fresh books lets you stay organized save time and make more money by focusing your effort on your own compressor whether it's plumbing whether it's you know making arts and crafty type thing and selling them whether it's uh you know I don't know house painting whether it's small IT service whether it's on dogs you know whether it's dog grooming fresh books is a cloud tool that lets you track your expenses keep track of your invoices for your clients email invoices to your clients get paid directly through fresh books and basically make your life easier if you're not the kind of person who finishes a long day of teaching dance lessons in your garage and sits it wants to sit down from the computer and do some accounting yeah that's which is not a thing that most small business owners are really that into because let's face it if you were a small business owner who was into accounting you would start up a business as an accountant wouldn't you that actually that actually makes a ton of sense makes it Tennessee you know what after a long day of doing accounting you probably don't want to do your own accounting isn't that such a thing no let us seem like that drives the Beanery quite legitimate yeah you know it's really it's really funny though like the ok mechanic driving the beaters is less less less offensive but like or are less not notley's more offensive rather but like would you let a dentist work on your teeth that had really bad teeth oh but they can't even work on their own teeth anyway they could have they could be a great dentist but how my attention there was that Russian surgeon that operated on himself in Antarctica like removed his appendix or something that's the exception ok maybe that guy's crazy speaking of exceptions and not the rule I'm just gonna fire this up most of our content is available to everyone on YouTube some of it like nerd sports is only available on vessel and so for hockey is out now I can't tell you guys how to you know sort of manage your manage your subscriptions to services but what I can say is vessel offers a one-week free trial that gives you early access up to a week to a ton of content creators not just all of our channels and if you were to start your one-week trial now you would be able to check out I'm just gonna screen share with you guys here I'm going to try not to have it would allow you to check out all four of the episodes that are already up on vessel it would allow you to have a subscription still when the fifth and final of our first portion of the series comes out teaser footage that's the team we played against which was and this is sort of more along the lines of what you can expect from us it's really low the connection here at the hotel in mehico is not exactly that great and we are streaming so brash uh it's actually kind of a miracle that that loaded it all so you can check it out the links gonna be in the video description over on YouTube but it's vessel calm it's not exactly complicated alright so let's move on to some of my personal chat to some of our additional topics here but I guess for the YouTube viewers it'll be down below here we go this is freaking cool so the original here is from Giz meg I'm just gonna fire this up here and start up my battery bank again I think I'm triggering either overheating or overcurrent protection trying to keep my laptop juiced up here so this is a very early test it's called a propulsion open air test or poet it does use electromagnets to propel a sled at 115 M miles per gallon apparently and considering Colton wrote it but it's actually 115 miles per hour or 185 kilometers per hour which is pretty damn pressive along a test track running 1,500 feet long so this isn't actually to test like how fast it can go this is more of like a stepping stone theory kind of deal so we're gonna add on to it and add on to it and add on to a noun and add on to it and grow and prove the theory as they grow this is just kind of an early-stage thing so I know people would be like I thought they were claiming it would go much faster than that's like 700 miles per hour and you're right they were voices that and that I don't know that was often I don't know and hopefully they will grow up to that point but this is yeah this is their little thing it's open air it's supposed to be in a vacuum tube like one of the main points of this whole thing is that it's in a vacuum tube they don't have that part going quite yet so yeah that's it's fine they're just testing like this the Sand Shark sled and all that kind of stuff okay yeah so it's about ten miles north of Las Vegas Nevada claiming a bunch of stuff that we've already heard about apparently the experiment when the capsule is created will be using a compressor to create a stronger vacuum ahead of the vehicle to cut out an air resistance all this kind of stuff we already knew even the test system will include a passenger and cargo compartment and batteries to power the system and contain a levitation device to lift the capsule off the guardrails which will probably be air bursts or something along those lines or airburst sorbet magnets but I believe last time I heard it was air burst so that should be pretty cool we have a picture here which I will try to bring up although I'm using Linus's laptop I'm not sure how things are set up so I already did that okay so no race there you go so there's the sled which is obviously not gonna carry huge amounts of cargo or people or literally anything kind of looks like a little cute spider thing but yeah like I said they're gonna grow on that and move from there so this is cool but it might not have been what you expected but it is still very cool their video for it is like massively over produced which is kind of fun but yeah all right Amazon direct video service so this was originally posted by sand al on the forum the original article here is from the verge challenges YouTube by offering uploaders a cut of the ads which I don't think is right at all that is a very sensationalist and honestly a little bit misleading headline because speaking as a youtuber I'm just gonna throw this out there I'm pretty sure that checks show up monthly from YouTube where they give us a cut of and I think it's to do with the ads on the videos maybe the ads I mean if it's not to do with the ads on the videos becomes Larry Kaiser I'm just gonna disable them from now on because apparently it's just coming from magic um so let's let's go through Colton's notes on this thing so you can be mystified this is that will let video creators share content and receive a cut of the revenue okay offering creators a variety of ways to earn money including royalties through streaming to Prime members that's cool because right now YouTube does not have a subscription service that gives youtubers a cut of the royalties or the monthly oh wait hold on a second huh YouTube Roush is a huge red tube oh no no don't go there unless you want to but um and you're overage um uh-huh sorry but with that said with that said I mean if we had Amazon Prime subscribers in our audience and we were to do some kind of YouTube read series or something which we don't have which we don't have in the works at all by the way I'm seriously we don't we've done nothing going on with YouTube red they wouldn't be able to access it unless they had YouTube red as well that's right so if we were to say okay yeah it'll be on Prime and it'll be on YouTube red all of a sudden we're giving people choices and if they already have Prime anyway because they chopped at Amazon all the time then then that's that's cool so the revenue sharing will be through rentals purchases subscriptions and ad impressions so it sounds like it could be free to use you probably won't need a Prime membership and Amazon definitely has the video serving horses to make something like always happen so that's pretty cool I don't I have I don't know at all but just reading this and looking at what Amazon's doing I'm getting the vibe that they're not targeting people like us right I think they're targeting more of a Vimeo crowd than a YouTube crowd hmm because looking at like the pictures that they're using as their samples and stuff yeah it's not like super fun we did weird thing I don't know what stuff is super popular on YouTube the kids stuff react react things like it at all I don't know it doesn't seem like any of that at all it seems like little like user-created shows like if rocketjump made longer episodes some more like like podcasts or like more like like so maybe this episodic content the sonic content we're like shows or like very very like higher production value oh that's not good it's that battery dying as well think so uh-oh that could be bad we might be an audio-only cast for a little bit here while I summon while I summon Brandon to bring us another battery anyways I'm gonna keep talking it seems like yeah higher production quality not really like reviews are like short kind of contained videos that it seems like they're still leaving that market up to YouTube hello it's okay it's all good so yeah I did I think they're still leaving that kind of stuff up the YouTube I think it's going to be yeah more high production quality like like short movies is basically what I kind of think they're going for anyways moving on Oxford study finds that virtual reality can help treat severe paranoia if you just like to share okay yeah that kind of works okay okay okay we're back nice we're back with that connection um no never mind never mind Brenda says you can't I'm just telling him we're switching to the webcam we're improvising we're improvising in Mexico all right so I'm gonna put the mic on top of the computer it's when Showtime again kids it's also like right in front of your face all right not a worse time I put it there okay so um what else we got first topic serious yeah anyways sorry Oxford study finds virtual reality can help treat so awful ow I don't know where to look closely by insanely secret D on the forum by the way it's only secret D that's a fantastic name the secret anyways VR can help treat severe paranoia by allowing people to face situations that they fear now severe paranoia is like oh yes I'm working on uh is like one to two percent of the population so that's actually pretty significant if you go into total number of people and it is like the mental health issue it's fear paranoia is like not cool anyways how they do it is they have people face their fears in VR so one they already did a trial one group was encouraged to use normal defensive behaviors and another group was told to hold a long stare or stand toe-to-toe with the avatars that encompass their fears I guess and super cool over 50% of the patients no longer had severe paranoia at the end of their testing day one day day one day it says singular day I don't know if like I haven't read super deeply into the article I don't know if it was a whole that sense of edible but it does if it works at all if it does anything at all even if you need like regular regular therapy let's say for example like VR therapy yeah I would I am so excited about stuff like that I mean using technology for gaming is great I am super down for using it for gaming why am I looking at that camera still oh yeah I'm super down for using it for gaming but using it for using it for making people's actual RL lives better that is the real deal speaking of real deal this was originally posted by Oh No okay one thing I want to drop in over 50% of the patients no longer had severe paranoia at the end of the day that were I believe lowering their defenses and standing toe-to-toe and the ones that use their defenses 20% of that groups no longer had severe paranoia and at the end of the day you'll have to conquer your fear yeah you still have to like but you can go again in the eye knowing that is not read that it's not real and you're in VR and you know that personally and it's that must make it so much easier considering 50% of them were able to overcome their severe paranoia in a day it must have been easier for them to do so so let's launch into some rapid-fire topics here um so as agent six has been announced it looks freaking awesome oh I was gonna do the micron one but where is that even so as agent six it's probably down a little bit there's like no details on it at all they're they're making it so that when you build your city it expenses a little bit wow I'm still looking at the wrong camera it expanses so you don't just have like a singular location and you have districts so you have like your industrial script in like your your-your-your food growth district and your culture district all I kind of stuff then people can attack districts individually when they come to fight you and it makes it so that like I believe if I remember correctly there's more inter trade between cities so if you have one city that's in the mountains it can be like totally industry focus then you have one that's like a long and nice River it could be like totally growth and food focused and I can interchange with each other the problem that might introduce is say someone comes and wipes out your growth city then your industry city is stuck with no food right so they're trying to make it so that each game is more so rush the Great Wall and what's the Colossus I think it's still a good strategy probably four or five iterations of the game but yeah they're trying to make us that each game is more unique so basically why your city is placed will more greatly influence how that city will naturally that is a struggle for sale yeah it is so they're working on that they're also working on I think they call it advanced multiplayer we're getting so much crap for our crappy camera called you know what we are streaming to you from Mexico so sorry I'm surprised you've been working yeah the miracle it's working at all anyway I think it's called advanced multiplayer we have no notes on this it's supposed to make scenarios that are easier to be completed within a single play session with friends ah which is also a huge thing that they need to come over yeah because the long play like have everyone come over for a whole day I'm do it it's still cool risk is fun but being able to have a smaller contained experience it's also very there's people who have time to play save and then there's people with jobs and families quite frankly I haven't I'll to do a full play sieve game with friends in a very long time yeah and that's like one of my favorite things so yeah Nvidia launches GT X 1080 with micron gddr5 X and micron has officially ramped up full-scale production of gddr5 X which shouldn't come as any surprise given that there are cards launching that have it this is interesting this is supposed to oh that was posted by almond Tech next one here is posted by captain Gaz and this is fascinating PayPal to pull payment protection for crowdfunding sites on June 25th they're basically saying look if you haven't seen all the news articles if you haven't been burned already it happens the episode of South Park Joe if you haven't seen Luke's Neptune pine video um we're sorry but we don't feel bad for you anymore when you give them that your money understand that you are giving them your money can we talk about how amazing this title image is for a moment what it's just like someone took like a not great picture of like the side of someone's phone that had a paypal ago on it yeah just like that's good enough honestly what it kind of is but like what how did you even think of that like it's just sort of table I I want you know what you know what you know what I bet it is because no one would be taking like no one would be doing like phone device photography with another phone camera and you're like look how crap look how crap this looks you know what I bet it is I bet it is actually like a crop of a video that they made another thing a photo they took for a phone for a review yeah that happened to have a PayPal logo and the why they would even like why that would be why they wouldn't just put a PayPal logo at the top of the of the page I don't know PayPal has like logos for people be used to that kind of stuff like here you go Kickstarter notes about 9% of their projects never deliver and that does not account for ones that deliver garbage sorry dad you'll get your hammer eventually yeah um and there and if the campaign just goes Buster doesn't deliver you can no longer dispute the charge so in a statement made to Engadget from PayPal they said in Australia Brazil Canada Japan United States and certain other countries we have excluded payments made to crowdfunding campaigns from our buyer protection program it's fine I don't think PayPal can be expected to do that be completely honest what do you think no I think it's completely reasonable especially given that you're not exactly getting you know blindsided by this anymore yeah um all right I've got actually okay there's a couple more big ones out the city of Zug xub oh lordy it's Swiss so who knows this was posted by data lab on the forum city of Zug is the first government to accept Bitcoin dun dun da this legitimizes Bitcoin and well I don't know Swiss Swiss it's Swiss Swiss Swiss Swiss bank yeah what you doing oh you want me to translate the page yes I guess I should have done that city will world add to Bitcoin pioneer boy nothing that you officially did not help let the record show that you were not help definitely knew it so that was great eventually all right let's get my notes up here so the Swiss town is billing it billing itself as a hub for the digital currency industry will accept Bitcoin for some payment starting this summer so the Town Council Inzaghi approves up every time I say it wrong I'm gonna be the smooth buried alive here I was already approved plans to accept payments of up to 200 Swiss francs for the municipal registration fee starting July 1st part of an experiment and many enzyme tout the town's reputation as part of crypto valley um approximately 15 companies linked to the digital currency business in crypto valley very very cool this article doesn't show an umlaut over it so like I would expect that and then it to be zhuge but because of that now I'm like I don't know I don't know what to tell you all right this was posted by Z mule and this is freaking awesome Microsoft has announced the original article here's from ARS technica Microsoft has announced removal removal of some of the particularly stupid restrictions that they've placed on Universal windows apps particularly games that people were complaining about things like that you couldn't run native fullscreen you had to run so borderless windowed mode things like this and this is the one that we're specifically talking about here that was guy room artists here requiring vsync why I don't want that vsync leg please do not make me have it it's super annoying because it's bad and terrible so gamers will have better control over performance and picture quality trade-offs the latest update is that you'll now be able to decide whether or not to have vsync enabled and you will be able to use g-sync and freesync as well it's super good because that would be so frustrating holding like I don't own one yet I hope to eventually hate to get one but owning a g-sync screen or a free sync screen and just not being able to use it because it's better yeah it really really truly is objectively better speaking of objectively better the LAN show normally so we're sorry about this yeah that we got going on here but I think that's pretty much it for the show we will see you guys again next week same bat-time same bat-channel totally different bat location oh no after-party today yeah no no after-party well there'll be an after-party but you guys aren't invited ah
