[00:35] ready to go for a little bit here. I think we're almost ready to go. Cool. Perfect. All right, let's do it.

[04:27] operator's key. We do not have that yet.
[04:44] release apocalypse? I don't remember what code dubbed it. Oh, this this is I would call this dystopian. Yeah, this is this is dystopian. Dystopian is generally when you are working through the remains of a failed
[04:59] civilization or failed something. Yeah. So, in in this game's case, we are we are in a dystopian environment in a derelct part of the mega city or something. We don't really know much about that yet, but
[05:46] Basically a documentary. Yes, that's what I tried to say. A documentary. power is stored. Access the system controls using the control panel in the southwestern end of the waterworks. Reset the system using the main breaker
[06:00] system using the control panel in the Oh lord, that sounds like a whole ass thing.
[06:38] Damn, nice shooting, Tex. That's right.
[07:58] Okay, cool. Cool. So, we're back here. Great. All right, let's go back down. Clearly, we have a let's go back down. Clearly, we have a lot more exploration to do.
[08:32] that is the accuracy. So in in in the in the very in the gaming context I use the very in the gaming context I use dystopian in, it's basically a society dystopian in, it's basically a society that was functioning and going okay
[08:45] and then something horribly terrible happens to it and then the player shows up. That's that's like dystopian. Like everything seemed to be going fine until and the player's here to fix it. Like that's that's kind of like the dystopian
[09:00] or or or the player's there to exist in it. Fallout's another good example of like a post-apocalyptic dystopian game. Um, you know, stuff like that. Yeah, that that's how I use the term in the in the gaming framework. Yep.
[09:12] Um, can we go over to the left more? This way. Can I explain what this game is about? Nope. I'm still trying to figure that out, too.

[09:39] Oh god, a latcher. Ew.
[10:08] Oh, we got a ladder here we can't do. Is there anything else we can do here? No, not yet. We got to get this pump working first. Okay.

[13:18] Dude, I was saying this yesterday. So, we're playing this game called Monsters and Memories, and um it's based on this game called EverQuest. And in EverQuest are these things called sand giants. And sand giants are huge and they're super
[13:31] dangerous, but they always look kind of goofy. But in Monsters and Memories, their sand giants look like Titans from Attack on Titan.
