00:05:56.810 --> 00:05:57.610 Tell me about it. 00:05:58.330 --> 00:05:59.770 So my actual craving... 00:05:59.810 --> 00:06:04.070 That should be our outro, engineer. 00:06:04.090 --> 00:06:09.110 My actual craving is I've been craving the return of IRC chats. 00:06:09.410 --> 00:06:10.110 Hell yeah. 00:06:10.490 --> 00:06:15.530 IRC chats, if you're not familiar, I need to look up what the acronym actually means. 00:06:15.530 --> 00:06:17.050 It's an Internet Relay Chat. 00:06:17.070 --> 00:06:22.570 But basically what it means is like it's what most of us know as just a chat room now. 00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:27.310 Like when you think of like it's a bunch of people in a chat room talking to each other. 00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:40.410 And I've become interested in this recently because I've been joining instances of a PsyTube, CYTube, which you can just cue music together and listen to music together and then talk. 00:06:40.430 --> 00:06:42.830 And there's no like you can't share video or anything. 00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:44.950 So it's not like Discord thing. 00:06:44.970 --> 00:06:51.930 And I think how that changes communication is like when it comes to video calling, the emphasis is on paying attention. 00:06:52.210 --> 00:06:55.290 If you leave, you sort of have to say that you're leaving. 00:06:55.550 --> 00:07:01.990 But on an IRC chat, if you're really engaged, the most you have to do is type BRB and like, that's it. 00:07:02.290 --> 00:07:03.750 Yeah, that's a really good point. 00:07:04.190 --> 00:07:06.090 I was never super involved in chat rooms. 00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:08.530 That was never really my forte. 00:07:08.770 --> 00:07:10.870 But I think they're really interesting. 00:07:11.030 --> 00:07:19.910 The thing that I think stopped me from being involved in chat rooms is the latent fear that is in me of being afraid of strangers on the internet. 00:07:23.770 --> 00:07:30.190 I've actually been doing a lot more just posting online and talking to strangers on the internet since this all began. 00:07:30.210 --> 00:07:31.630 I'm very brave of you. 00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:33.150 Well, I used to be... 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:34.630 Here's the thing. 00:07:34.950 --> 00:07:36.530 As a child, I did it a lot. 00:07:39.510 --> 00:07:49.530 As a young teenager, older youth, I would go on to chat rooms or video games and just talk to strangers. 00:07:50.190 --> 00:07:56.550 I mean, from nowadays, from a privacy perspective, it would be probably terrifying to reflect on that. 00:07:57.390 --> 00:07:58.830 Now it's like, well, I'm an adult. 00:07:59.270 --> 00:08:03.670 The worst they can do is probably find my email and I guess send me mail. 00:08:04.030 --> 00:08:04.390 Yeah. 00:08:04.410 --> 00:08:05.770 They could dox me, I guess. 00:08:06.130 --> 00:08:06.690 They could. 00:08:07.090 --> 00:08:09.070 They could yell at you a lot and dox you. 00:08:09.090 --> 00:08:12.250 But the thing is, the internet now is a lot more public. 00:08:12.970 --> 00:08:19.770 When Facebook made the move of no longer letting you use fake names, the risk of doxing increased. 00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:20.570 Yeah. 00:08:20.570 --> 00:08:23.710 So any attempt at anonymity is better than that. 00:08:24.030 --> 00:08:32.130 So really being anonymous makes it fun because I no longer have fear of like, oh, what if someone thinks what I said is ridiculous? 00:08:32.630 --> 00:08:33.770 Who cares, right? 00:08:33.790 --> 00:08:37.010 It's going to disappear in five seconds when the rest of the chat scrolls up. 00:08:37.150 --> 00:08:38.010 That's really interesting. 00:08:38.030 --> 00:08:51.530 The way that I think I did end up talking to strangers a bit in kind of high school would have been through Tumblr, because Tumblr was the way that I first kind of began to come to terms with my gender and stuff. 00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:59.890 And so I have a couple of trans girlfriends and honestly also cis girlfriends who I know from the Tumblr days. 00:09:00.550 --> 00:09:04.050 And I don't know why that one felt a little bit safer to me. 00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:06.390 I don't know why Tumblr felt safe to me. 00:09:06.410 --> 00:09:07.770 I probably shouldn't have. 00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:10.410 But I've seen some shit on Tumblr. 00:09:10.430 --> 00:09:13.030 Yeah, I mean, I have too, and I had two then. 00:09:13.030 --> 00:09:17.630 But it was like I definitely made friends with people, which was always wild to me. 00:09:17.890 --> 00:09:21.930 I was like, Oh, I can't go into a chat room or a forum or whatever, because there are people there. 00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:27.030 They kind of, you know, I feel like it was like, there aren't real people on Tumblr. 00:09:27.050 --> 00:09:27.870 There's just bots. 00:09:27.890 --> 00:09:28.130 Right? 00:09:28.410 --> 00:09:36.150 Well, it was more like it was more along the lines of like me kind of looking at chat rooms and forums and stuff and being like, Oh, people already know each other on there. 00:09:36.390 --> 00:09:39.330 If I come in there, I'm going to be a weirdo new person. 00:09:39.350 --> 00:09:40.270 Yeah. 00:09:40.290 --> 00:09:43.550 There's no people versus like that's kind of exciting. 00:09:43.570 --> 00:09:46.310 Friends online is no, it's terrifying. 00:09:46.330 --> 00:09:47.050 It's terrifying. 00:09:48.090 --> 00:09:49.550 But there's so much history. 00:09:49.950 --> 00:09:53.430 There's like inside jokes that like you get to learn about. 00:09:53.890 --> 00:10:00.330 How do you know that there's just not gonna hate you immediately and completely because don't be an asshole. 00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:01.590 And most people don't. 00:10:02.210 --> 00:10:05.790 I'll have you know that a lot of people are very mean online. 00:10:07.030 --> 00:10:07.450 Yeah. 00:10:07.470 --> 00:10:11.230 And this is the thing about most modern chats, at least the ones that I'm in. 00:10:11.510 --> 00:10:13.410 One of the rules is like, hey, don't be a dick. 00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:15.790 So if you are a dick, you get kicked. 00:10:15.810 --> 00:10:23.010 So I mean, if you're not the one being a dick, then you're pretty safe from the ass hats and the meanies. 00:10:23.430 --> 00:10:25.710 But what if you are accidentally a dick? 00:10:25.730 --> 00:10:39.310 What if you accidentally say something that is against what people do in that chat room, and all of them start yelling at you and then you have to cry? 00:10:39.330 --> 00:10:41.730 And I have some good news again. 00:10:42.150 --> 00:10:44.150 You can't technically yell on the internet. 00:10:44.810 --> 00:10:47.530 Through an IRC chat, the worst you can get is full caps. 00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:49.490 No one's going to yell at you. 00:10:49.630 --> 00:10:52.390 You're just going to like have some words come on the screen. 00:10:52.850 --> 00:10:56.430 Clair, I'll have you know, words can hurt a lot. 00:10:57.110 --> 00:10:58.290 Words can hurt a lot. 00:10:58.350 --> 00:10:59.430 I absolutely feel that. 00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:03.550 So therefore, all IRC chat bad? 00:11:03.650 --> 00:11:04.230 I don't know. 00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:06.770 I did no issue with IRC chats. 00:11:07.010 --> 00:11:12.250 I just personally always felt like I always get super different anxious about like new spaces. 00:11:12.790 --> 00:11:25.570 I'm going to send you a YouTube video livestream, a 24-7 Nintendo Music Livestream that I have been sort of hanging out in for the past couple days now. 00:11:25.990 --> 00:11:30.230 And you should come, you should listen to it. 00:11:30.250 --> 00:11:37.690 Because, and this is why it sort of made me think of IRC chats, it is 24-7 and also the music is hand curated. 00:11:37.910 --> 00:11:46.730 So you can request songs if you have like a sponsorship or whatnot, but there's usually mods in there and there's pretty much always people requesting songs. 00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:55.850 And like the other day even, people teamed up to make sure that they were playing every generation of Pokemon songs because you can only request a song an hour. 00:11:56.090 --> 00:11:58.350 So a bunch of people were like, okay, I'm going to do Gen 1. 00:11:58.370 --> 00:11:59.870 All right, you do Gen 2. 00:11:59.890 --> 00:12:01.270 All right, I'll do Gen 3. 00:12:01.410 --> 00:12:04.150 And I've just been going there and sort of hanging out. 00:12:04.170 --> 00:12:05.510 And now it's my third day there. 00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:09.850 And there's like one or two people that I've just begun talking to. 00:12:09.870 --> 00:12:10.970 I don't know who they are. 00:12:10.990 --> 00:12:11.970 They don't know who I am. 00:12:12.310 --> 00:12:15.490 I use a pseudonym and I'm sure so do they. 00:12:15.510 --> 00:12:18.810 And it's just like random people talking to each other. 00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:20.490 And I'm like, that's sick as hell. 00:12:20.790 --> 00:12:22.750 Like who knows who these people are, right? 00:12:23.050 --> 00:12:24.870 That sounds super duper rad. 00:12:25.170 --> 00:12:40.010 Now, Clair, in terms of solving this craving, how would you create the perfect IRC chat where people who are nervous little babies like me would feel kind of as comfortable as possible? 00:12:40.390 --> 00:12:43.870 And also it's just the perfect IRC chat always. 00:12:44.290 --> 00:12:45.410 It's just the perfect one. 00:12:45.630 --> 00:12:52.110 Maybe you, the baby, needs to tell me, the adult, what you need coming into an IRC chat. 00:12:52.490 --> 00:12:53.590 Because it seems like... 00:12:53.610 --> 00:12:54.590 Goo goo ga ga. 00:12:56.150 --> 00:13:00.130 So there are professional diaper changers on site in this IRC chat. 00:13:01.570 --> 00:13:03.050 Now, if you do lie down... 00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:08.390 Okay, that's enough of that. 00:13:09.650 --> 00:13:18.750 I feel like it is mostly just that like, I never know how to meet people, unless I'm meeting them by going up on a stage or being at a camp with them. 00:13:18.770 --> 00:13:30.530 These are how I've made most of my friends, are like very dramatic Brianna ways, and very little of it is going into an established group and being like, hi, I'm Brianna. 00:13:31.430 --> 00:13:42.650 I feel like most of the ways that I've met my friends has been like online apps or being invited to hang out to a larger group by someone at a party. 00:13:42.870 --> 00:13:45.010 And that sort of just cascades, right? 00:13:45.030 --> 00:13:52.050 Like, I mean, I met you at a party, which I got invited to by a different person who I'm pretty sure I met at a party. 00:13:52.870 --> 00:13:54.830 And so then there were more people, you know? 00:13:55.650 --> 00:13:57.030 That's just sort of how it went. 00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:02.390 But back in my teenage days, I had a lot of online friends, and now I just don't. 00:14:02.450 --> 00:14:03.490 Well, okay, that's not true. 00:14:03.650 --> 00:14:07.030 I have people who I once knew in real life, and then they moved away. 00:14:07.050 --> 00:14:13.450 But I don't have people who it's like, oh, we've never hung out in real life, and we can't hang out in real life. 00:14:13.790 --> 00:14:14.970 Yeah, fair. 00:14:15.230 --> 00:14:16.910 It might be something about text. 00:14:17.010 --> 00:14:30.970 It might be just the fact that like, I'm a lot more confident kind of putting yourself out there like in physical form and in physical space than I am through text, because I'm a very performative person, and it's a lot harder to be performative over text. 00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:33.050 I do feel that. 00:14:33.290 --> 00:14:40.450 I mean, you know, we're both very performative people in that sense, maybe in different ways in certain aspects. 00:14:40.470 --> 00:14:42.930 But I use a lot of like emojis. 00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:44.110 Maybe I shouldn't say emojis. 00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:48.050 I use emoticons, which are different because they're not emojis. 00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:53.250 Because I hate, well, I hate specifically the YouTube emojis, and I hate most emojis. 00:14:53.370 --> 00:15:06.330 And emoticons, which are just like, well, my favorite one is like C colon, which is just a happy face, but it's not like every single normal happy face emoji looks like it wants to murder you, you know? 00:15:06.650 --> 00:15:10.170 Like, why do they want to look like they're just like dead inside? 00:15:10.370 --> 00:15:20.030 Like, I've lost my soul, and you're the next victim on my list is sort of how I feel with every single just neutral smiling emoji. 00:15:20.330 --> 00:15:22.710 I feel like I need to like have signature emojis. 00:15:22.970 --> 00:15:24.090 Just steal them from others. 00:15:24.110 --> 00:15:24.750 That's what I did. 00:15:25.030 --> 00:15:26.210 Yeah, probably. 00:15:26.290 --> 00:15:29.970 I recently figured out what my signature heart is, so that's something. 00:15:30.530 --> 00:15:31.750 What's your signature heart?

00:16:50.010 --> 00:16:51.410 That's the friend one, right? 00:16:52.010 --> 00:16:53.090 Yeah, the friend one. 00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:55.190 I think it's like All Star. 00:16:55.210 --> 00:16:56.350 No, it's All Friends. 00:16:56.510 --> 00:16:58.030 It has friends in the title, I think. 00:16:58.050 --> 00:16:59.270 It definitely has friends in the title. 00:16:59.490 --> 00:17:01.330 It's Kirby All Star Smash Mouth. 00:17:01.550 --> 00:17:02.430 Friendship. 00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:10.790 But yeah, you can literally in the middle of a level in that game just have somebody join the game. 00:17:10.810 --> 00:17:12.390 It's Kirby Star Allies, by the way. 00:17:12.630 --> 00:17:13.210 Yeah. 00:17:13.510 --> 00:17:14.850 It's not friends in the title. 00:17:15.170 --> 00:17:16.310 Allies at the table. 00:17:19.510 --> 00:17:23.290 You could just jump in and out of that game at any point if you weren't player one. 00:17:23.330 --> 00:17:28.730 And I think that should be a thing for IRC chats, right? 00:17:28.750 --> 00:17:30.190 So there has to be a player one. 00:17:31.490 --> 00:17:33.730 Right, the mod is player one. 00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:35.450 The chat mod, you're the player mod. 00:17:35.510 --> 00:17:36.510 You're the player one. 00:17:36.530 --> 00:17:37.430 You're the player mod. 00:17:37.570 --> 00:17:38.470 You're the player mod. 00:17:38.550 --> 00:17:40.630 God, what are some like jump in, jump out games? 00:17:40.870 --> 00:17:41.490 Scrabble. 00:17:42.910 --> 00:17:43.690 What's Scrabble? 00:17:44.070 --> 00:17:47.550 I guess a lot of like text chat games are kind of that. 00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:53.910 You know that game where you all try to say increasing numbers without repeating them? 00:17:54.310 --> 00:18:03.730 So like one person says one, another person says two, another person says three, another person says four, and another person says five at the same time someone else says five, and you have to start all over again. 00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:04.710 Oh, right. 00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:05.870 OK, OK, cool. 00:18:06.170 --> 00:18:09.210 I thought you meant like not concurrent numbers. 00:18:09.270 --> 00:18:16.170 So I was like, well, why wouldn't I just say like after after you say one, I say ten because probably no one's going to say. 00:18:16.190 --> 00:18:17.190 No, no, no, no, no. 00:18:17.210 --> 00:18:18.190 You got to say them in order. 00:18:18.510 --> 00:18:22.850 OK, I thought this was like a game of like, oh, I don't know a number that comes after that number. 00:18:22.850 --> 00:18:28.090 Oh, no, we've gone too high, which is like an alternate one. 00:18:28.110 --> 00:18:31.010 But I think a text based game wouldn't work very well. 00:18:32.370 --> 00:18:44.770 It's a similar one to that Discord meme from a while ago where you tried to say different lyrics one after another of a song and then people would edit together a video with the song playing over. 00:18:45.190 --> 00:18:46.270 Did you see this at all? 00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:47.370 No. 00:18:48.130 --> 00:18:59.230 I'll send you an example after and I'll link one in the description, but it was very good and funny to see people try to do lyric after lyric and then someone fucked it up and it was wild. 00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:08.670 But there are good text games where it's like, okay, you can like play and then you can like hop out and let everyone else play and then you can keep playing if you want. 00:19:09.070 --> 00:19:13.710 What about like to choose your own adventure, but like the chat is the party. 00:19:13.950 --> 00:19:17.450 You know Twitch plays Pokemon and then I don't know, it turned into Twitch. 00:19:17.650 --> 00:19:21.290 Yeah, except Twitch plays IRC. 00:19:21.490 --> 00:19:22.610 Twitch plays IRC. 00:19:22.630 --> 00:19:24.430 I'm sure that someone has done that. 00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:39.590 See Twitch plays Pokemon was like a voting system, which gets boring really quickly because it always feels like most voting systems very discouraging because the more people there are, the less impact it feels like you have. 00:19:39.830 --> 00:19:43.870 So what if there was like you're automatically assorted into like a team? 00:19:43.970 --> 00:19:44.910 Oh, that's interesting. 00:19:45.110 --> 00:19:52.050 What if there are teams and like if you drop in and drop out, like that's okay because the size of the team doesn't really matter. 00:19:52.070 --> 00:19:57.550 Like there's maybe a maximum team size, like maybe it's like three people, but like you can just have an unlimited amount of teams. 00:19:57.570 --> 00:19:59.070 That feels like it gets really unbalanced really quickly. 00:19:59.470 --> 00:20:00.830 I mean, we could make it balanced. 00:20:00.850 --> 00:20:01.930 We'll make the perfect game. 00:20:01.950 --> 00:20:07.670 We'll make the perfect IRC drop in drop out game with three people teams, one to three people. 00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:09.530 Actually, you know what? 00:20:09.950 --> 00:20:11.250 I found the perfect solution. 00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:13.430 Who your teammates are doesn't matter. 00:20:13.450 --> 00:20:17.430 I was thinking instead of having one person on your own, the minimum team size is two. 00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:20.770 And if someone joins, the teams just immediately get shuffled. 00:20:21.050 --> 00:20:24.210 So like your teammates don't matter. 00:20:24.490 --> 00:20:32.170 You just help your team and your team is always, you get points based on like what your current team gets. 00:20:32.330 --> 00:20:38.870 And then you can spend those points on like unlocking emoticons maybe or emojis or song requests. 00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:41.030 Yeah, I love chaos. 00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:42.010 Great and good. 00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:44.390 I feel like a lot of people would fuck with the system. 00:20:44.490 --> 00:20:45.790 That's totally fine. 00:20:45.970 --> 00:20:47.090 It's meant to be fucked with. 00:20:47.290 --> 00:20:48.890 Who brings order to a chat? 00:20:50.470 --> 00:20:51.530 That's a cool idea. 00:20:51.830 --> 00:20:52.910 What is the game itself? 00:20:53.190 --> 00:20:54.630 Lovers to Rivals. 00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:56.630 What is that? 00:20:58.390 --> 00:21:00.090 It's a game I've just made up. 00:21:00.110 --> 00:21:01.710 It's called Lovers to Rivals. 00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:02.370 Yep. 00:21:03.570 --> 00:21:04.730 And how does it work?
