Alright, It's the top of the hour. So we're gonna go ahead and get started.
This is the first session for the launch week of, uh,
prime time for answering questions about Resonate.
Um, our launch is tomorrow, so I'm super excited about that.
I do have some prefaces, um, for that particular event tomorrow,
Uh, one of them is to check the announcement
in the announcements channel. If you ask what time it is, it's in the announcement.
It translates it to your local time. It's in the announcement.
So you don't need to know when it is or what it is, et cetera.
It's in that announcement. Please don't ask that question.
If I see it, I'm gonna refer you to the announcements channel. Uh, secondarily, um,
it's gonna be a launch. So we're working very hard on it.
Um, but, uh, you know, don't don't freak out too much,
So let's go ahead and move on to the questions. Uh, so we got one from here from Cayden.
Who says Are you able to speak at all regarding the DS LF How exactly the asynchronous
impulse nos are implemented?
I am not I don't know. Um
Proto
Flux's engine or or core as it's called,
is like a big precipice of magic that I have not climbed or sunken down into yet.
I just haven't had time.
Um,
I do know, uh, vaguely What's going on, though, uh,
one of the important things to remember is that because proto
flux is running in resonate on top of resite,
et cetera,
some parallels that you're drawing to additional languages might not be the same.
So, for example, asynchronous in
other languages has a defined definition. Proto
Fox's definition for that may be different.
Moving forwards Jackal
Girl says uh, is it possible that the free image
LL fix for UNIX and the next headless users might
have broken things for Windows 11 users for the update?
I had no issues logging in, but now I get an almost immediate crash.
When the log says, uh, free image version,
let's let's figure out if additional Windows 11 users are having that issue.
Also,
make sure to verify the game files just to double
check that all those DLL S are up to date.
I haven't seen anyone else talking about that that much.
I'll also take a look at that thread.
Um, but the prime time is not a debugging session, so possibly,
But I'll take a look afterwards.
Um, Archer says is the way to debug imported logic You're having trouble with, uh,
rest night.
Doesn't support logic. So I don't know what the question means.
Uh, moving forwards to,
uh, to
dan's question. Are you excited? Uh, are you exited about tomorrow?
I'll answer both. Uh, no, I I'm quite aware.
I'm actually probably gonna go to bed a little bit, uh, sooner than I usually do.
I wake up pretty late morning, and I need to wake up on time for tomorrow,
so I'll probably go to bed a bit earlier.
Um,
so I'm I'm Yeah, I'm gonna be exiting very soon to to go to bed or whatever. Anyway, um,
am I excited? Uh, yes and no.
Um, while it's gonna be exciting, cos everyone gains access,
it's important to remember that it's just like it's
just a button for push or a flick of Le
right. This isn't
the end of all time. It's just an event that's gonna occur. It's just a launch.
What's happening after the launch is much more exciting. Which is we have
a platform and a community here where we're
gonna just keep trundling on towards the future.
Uh, kiff makes some assumptions about proto
fox running on the main thread. I strongly encourage you to,
uh, get that question ratified with other people.
Um, I repeatedly get questions about, uh, resonate being single threaded,
and it's provably wrong.
So just make sure that we get that ratified of, um,
maybe a AF
office hours. Or maybe once I've dived deep into into Prada
flux core,
I can take a look. Uh, dusk K
asks, Uh,
do you have any words of wisdom when
dealing with a possible flood of people tomorrow?
Yes, A very big thing that I want everyone to remember,
particularly any mods or mentors that are listening is you have the opportunity
to say no and walk away. None of you are being paid to be there.
None of you have a cardinal
responsibility to be there.
Um, of course, we are grateful for any assistance that you provide.
But if it's all getting too much, walk away. Go for a walk in the park, have some water.
It's it's nothing's gonna fall apart.
Uh, Merri says, How would, uh,
patron beta users report bugs before the masses encounter them?
You cannot report bugs right now.
Um, we are gonna open up a github
for reporting bugs as soon as we can
as soon as we can.
Uh, Uzi says, well, isn't it? Have native I and face tracking support.
It has native I and face tracking support for the,
um vive I pro headset and the face tracking module on that,
that face tracking module will work.
Um, if you just plug it into any old headset, it's just a USB connection.
Um, but the I will only natively support the, um V
Pro I Other headsets are being investigated for support,
but that would be an after launch thing.
Uh, Margo O.
I have a friend that is disappointed that resonate has the same issues
where people can restrict Can't restrict what other people do to them,
such as using someone using a shrink ray or picking them up,
and it's instead up to the world host.
I understand that there's user made tools to combat this,
such as the avatar protection system and the operation system.
But there are plans for changes in that future.
Yes, we actually now have the blocking function as well.
So anyone that's doing that,
you can probably mutual block them,
and it will make it a lot more difficult to have that.
We also have features that are gonna be on the road map once it's available.
That will, um,
heighten those restrictions.
One of the problems we have right now is that the user made system sometimes, like,
protect you too much, and they prevent the world from actually functioning.
I've seen a lot of people who are like, I'm gonna hide all my colliders, and it's like,
Great, You've broken, like, so many interactions in this world.
So, um, do keep that in mind, but yeah, we're gonna work on more later as a reminder.
If you do come across that behaviour, you can report it to moderation straight away,
and they'll take it of
it,
hoping for us to peck 40 two's question and
what preparations were made for the servers for tomorrow.
So we operate on a very elastic, um, architecture. As as your cloud servers.
We can just hit buttons and more stuff is provisioned to sort of scale up.
There's a bunch of sliders we can do for that so we can scale up databases.
We can scale up, um, other types of services et cetera to handle it.
And we're adjusting things as we need.
The biggest one there, though,
is that we just just throw a wallet at the asset variance queue.
And, uh, we've got a bunch more servers there handling some of the load.
Um, that won't be a problem forever.
We'll probably get rid of those servers in a month or two.
Because once the large influx of people comes in, that queue goes really low.
Uh, Hughie says, Well, the servers will be run through cloud servers or peer to peer.
So there's actually two things going on in Resonate.
So there is cloud server operations.
That's anything to do with contacts, messages, the inventory system, et cetera.
But then an actual session that you're in is entirely peer to peer.
Uh, Paragon, Arang says.
How many people are you expecting to get during tomorrow's launch?
I would say maximum of 1000.
Don't quote me on that. It's not a bet. I'm not having any money on that.
I don't want my face on a poster somewhere that says You were wrong.
That's just my best guess.
And it's a guess everyone's like You were wrong. Yes, it was a guess.
I come across a lot of in my industry,
some people who say like I can't make an accurate
estimate and I think there is no such thing.
It's an estimate precision of language.
You can make a good estimate or a close estimate.
You cannot make an accurate estimate.
Uh, Ky
Dreamer says what commanders used to run the Linux Heathers
should be relatively the same.
Uh, some of the command line flags have changed, et cetera, as has the, um,
uh, various other things such as the app, ID, et cetera.
But beyond that, it should be there.
There are a couple of threads in the discord where people are, uh, figuring that out.
Um, it would be on the wiki as soon as that's available. So there we go.
Uh, panda says is native gift support coming planned?
Uh, nothing planned right now.
It might go up on the hub like you suggest, or it might go on the road map.
One thing to note is that GIFs are generally
becoming out of favour with most technical capabilities.
Even when you post a GIF, um, in discord these days, it's a Web P that loops.
Uh, panda asks a question that's already been answered,
uh, dust
and ask, Will the wiki be launched? Uh, within the game?
I'm I'm getting tired of this question, so we're gonna answer it once more.
The wiki will be available when it is available. Not a moment sooner.
Not a moment after it when it's available.
Um, I can't give you a time. I can't give you a day. I can't give you
any sense of that until it's ready.
Um, if it's asked again any other office hours, I'm just gonna skip it.
Um
H, he says for account registration for resite
will it be through steam or another method I hadn't discovered yet,
So we don't have any steam linking with our accounts right now.
Um, you'll have to register with us. Exact. Like us.
No other sort of providers we have sort of talked about. And again.
This is a cloud floating through a tranquil sky like that's a cool cloud,
but it carries on moving with the wind.
Um other forms of account linking steam would be a good possibility.
Um, I believe some others have talked about
other varieties of that. We do have sl
support,
but that's more a business operation thing that can link a business identity to, um
a resonate account.
Uh, magic says a macro
morph size question. What exciting community creative content.
Have you seen within Resonate so far?
Unfortunately, I haven't actually had time to be in resonate casually. Um,
in the past two weeks,
I will endeavour to to fix that.
But mostly I just stand in my cloud home changing people's emails because patreon,
um, moving forwards to, uh, pumpkins question.
They ask, uh, why am I unable to enter anchors? I don't know. Please
try a, uh, basic standard avatar like the default avatar
and, uh, in an empty world as well. Spawn out a chair, try it in an empty world.
Often we see issues with that kind of thing
when you're either in a overly customised avatar that has too much stuff on it,
and it interferes with anchor system.
Some of the safety systems that I was just talking about,
for Margo's question also interfere with anchors,
they will immediately eject you from an anchor.
If you sit inside, it can also affect that and can permissions. Hence.
Why Default avatar. Empty World removes all of those cases.
If you can sit in an anchor in a default avatar in Empty World,
then it means either the world or the Avatar is bugging you.
So next try a different world but the same default avatar and then try just
the Avatar Cos I guarantee it's probably something on the avatar or in the world.
Uh,
Panda says, theoretically,
would it be possible down the line to improve avatar blocking
by locally loading assets that are low res textures like this?
Theoretically, yes, absolutely
moving forwards to, uh, dust
git and says, How are you doing today? Prime
Got a headache coming. That'll probably fix itself at some point. Or maybe not.
Maybe we'll go to bed even earlier to fix that. But, you know, headaches are fun.
Margot has a question. Will regular non-business users be able to set up SL
support? No. SL
is a business only, um, application. By definition,
it links a business identity. Let's say, like you work for a company called
Mega
Silly
Corp Mega Silly Corp has an identity provider.
Um, usually as your active directory.
Um, everyone logs into their accounts there.
You know, uh, prime at Mega Silly Corp dot com, et cetera, goes through that system.
That system has sl
support. We link Mega Silly Corp to rein.
So if you don't have a company that supports Sam ml not useful, uh, mere
ask how much sleep has been lost over resonate development.
Uh, how long is a piece of string?
And we're just gonna answer that one with four metres,
four metres of sleep.
A better way to phrase that question would be Has
the team been losing losing sleep over the development?
Yeah. Uh, Paragon asks, How long has this been in the works?
Uh, we've been working race tonight quite a while. Um,
we are feeling good that it's gonna release,
but lots of the work that we need to do is going to occur after the release.
Marco says seven ISA seven back to them dust
and ask, What's the favourite thing you've implemented?
I really like button edit colour X. Um
it makes it really easy to to edit colours in a way. That makes sense.
Um, so I really like that
there's a bunch of other stuff.
But, like, honestly, I forget sometimes check the change.
Los.
I also did, uh, categorise all the proto
flux notes. It was a community effort.
Um, from some of the earlier test waves where we figured out, um,
why and where and how we should categorise the proto
flux nodes. And then I sat there for four weeks,
Period
rec,
categorising nodes. It was huge.
The spreadsheet was like 3000 rows long, and it was horrible, like,
it's the worst thing I've ever done.
But it's done not the worst thing I've ever done.
The worst thing I've ever done was I had to do a
support ticket once whilst I had a nosebleed for a different job.
And so I'm like,
actively nose bleeding over my keyboard and just sliding my hands over through it.
A couple of people are probably squirming, though right now, so we'll move on.
Um,
magic says any formal plans for makerspace
Monday or tinkering Tuesday's our broadcasts,
Um,
content that we're gonna be standing up over on
our twitch channel is still sort of TBD.
I have just heard that we will be going live tomorrow for a broadcast. Uh, for launch.
I believe it will be at 3 p.m. my time.
I don't know what that is in other time zones, but 3 p.m. Pacific.
It's the regular time that, uh,
we used to go live in other places. Um,
I'll try and get the people doing that to put an announcement in announcement,
so you know, that's gonna happen,
But we'll probably do that after the announcement that it's
launched cos that'll be at 11 a.m. my time.
So there's plenty of time between that. There's four hours between those events.
Um, as for that other than, um, other stuff like that,
we've got all sorts of broadcasts that we want to do.
I have tonnes of ideas that we never did. So we're gonna take a look at doing them.
I believe I am up to date on all
the questions there.
Um, if you have any additional questions, please do let me know.
But, uh, remember, if you ask about the wiki, I might just, like find you I might just,
like send you an angry cat.
G,
uh,
be at the ground, says cheese or seven. I don't answer cheese questions,
Tony says.
Uh, will there be any change logs available before uh,
we're not providing a change log for
anything before this discord server was created?
Unfortunately,
um, it would take too long.
Uh, Margot says is the point at which voting point occurs,
been reduced or increased from in resonate?
No, There should be no changes to that area.
Uh, Johnny Elson says now that, uh, free images forked on github
could pull requests be made to add new image formats for Resonate? No,
probably not.
Uh, we forked it and made changes because we had some issues, Um,
a long time ago with how it operated,
Um, and then we had to do the, um, security vulnerability patch to that,
um,
it it's just there because it's a requirement of the licence.
And it's also good for transparency, showing like, Hey, we have fixed the issue.
I don't know if we're going to be wanting active development there.
Even if we did have active development such as the free image Repo,
there did support random additional
things. I've heard of a VI. I don't know what J XL or HIE
IC is.
But even if the free imagery
post supported those, we would then need to integrate that with our actual engine.
So it's it.
Like, if you kept, like, shoving new formats into that,
you're basically just putting more work on our plate.
Um,
Pka Station says, Well, resonate be on stand alone VR Like the quest soon
Ah, soon is a difficult question to answer.
But like, if you mean soon,
as in any time between now and the heat death of the universe probably, uh,
but more details on our road map, etcetera.
TBD Panda wants a cat gift. Panda gets a cat gift.
Alex says
pick a headset. Support. Uh, I It's likely that we will investigate other headsets.
They'll need to be on the issue tracker once that's available.
Uh, Margot wants a cat gif Margo gets a cat gif, uh, essentially asks, Is there a, uh,
road map yet?
Unfortunately, not, we will get one live as soon as possible.
The issue tracker will go live first.
So you guys can, uh, take a look and and file bugs, et cetera.
But then, beyond that,
we'll start putting the road map together you know what's going on?
We don't want to inundate our road map with
random stuff without plans for what's going on.
Uh, jinx wants a cat GIF, but they have not said the magic word for a cat. Gif nat Bar.
Do you know if the asset variant backlog could prevent
me being able to set my two D badge?
I've tried numerous times over the last two days
that the aero saying the asset doesn't exist.
Probably nothing to do with that backlog.
Um, other people have used it successfully.
I do know that there is some issues with it, but those should be resolved. Sh
shoot
soon. Soon?
Um, so, uh,
trying?
I don't know. Maybe I can have a look at some point.
Um, dear me a picture of cheese and I'll get back to you.
Um, Archer, what are you most excited about in terms of future features?
I'm just excited that we're here and we're able to to make updates and make fixes.
There are so many things that, like I do,
you can see the change log Sometimes where I'm
like that took me less than five minutes.
Guys like that took me less than five minutes,
and there are so many of those across the board.
So I'm excited about those,
uh, beyond that, I wanna do some, like, really large features again.
These are clouds passing
across a summer's day in a field. They're not defined. They're not coming.
Don't ask if they're coming soon. They are ideas.
Um, I really wanna do steam achievements.
I feel like it would be a great way to, like, blow off steam.
It's like we've been working on launch for so long.
The first, like major thing pride does. That is just steam achievements.
It would be great. Probably not gonna happen
again. Cloud over an open summer's day, but like it would just be funny.
Um,
Alexis, what's the thing? You resonate that you are most, uh, way in a minute.
Most proud of having made I already answered that one.
You'll have to check the recording.
Um, Paragon says there are no changes to the controls.
There are a few changes to the controls. Um, the wiki will have those in the future.
Uh, Mario says, how excited are you? That's a repeat. So we'll skip that one.
magic has a jiffy question, it says,
Are there any third party tools Suffer resources that
you recommend to get the most out of resonate?
Yes. Uh, blender
sketch fab dot com.
Um, a good photo editor. Now, you don't need Photoshop. I would suggest, like you.
You can get away with paint dot net.
Um, good file management as well.
Like, I know we don't have, like, moving files around inside resonant
yet, but you can You can make them good on your computer.
Something I did recently was I installed chrome add on,
which separates my downloads folder by month and year.
And it's amazing, Cos what I do is I look at my download folder sometimes,
and it's just like 40 gigabytes of random junk, and I don't know what's going on
now. I can at least see Hey, 20 gigabytes of that is listed as 2021
November. And I'm like, Do I really need that? Probably not.
So I just delete it, blow it out of the water.
So that's good beyond that, uh, free sound as well, it sounds on free sound.
Uh, Tiki says that the running, uh, resonate on a virtual machine,
but it has bad performance.
Uh, asset. Varying system. Maybe. Maybe it might help there. We
gotta wait till that queue is down.
Uh, Takoda
says, well, resonate. Be more potato. PT,
Beep, beep,
beep,
beep, Beep,
Beep.
Boop, Beep, boop,
beep, boop.
Um,
or is it that be more potato PC optimised in the future.
For those who have autograph cards,
we're always looking into optimisations.
I can't commit to any sort of metric on that. So again, like
four miles, we'll have four miles of more optimisations.
But there are always stuff that you can optimise like
if you say the word don't do this cos fruits.
If you see fruits in game, by the way, don't bug him with, like,
anything work related.
Unless he's up for it.
Like, ask him first.
I've seen it happen.
People just walk up to him and they just go like So
I had this bug that happens one out of a million times.
I launched the game and I want you to fix it right now. It's just rude.
Like put it on the bug tracker once it's available. If it's not urgent,
you don't need to speak to Friss about it.
and 90% of the time someone else can handle it.
If it's a moderation issue, Fricks has no dealings in moderation.
He does oversee them, but you can put it in moderation ticket.
They'll take care of it.
If it's in a count related issue, put in a support ticket, I will take care of it.
Another team member will take care of it, or fris
will take care of it.
Everyone has access to the support desk, uh, duplicate question there.
Which is optimisations of planned? Yes.
Like when I ask freaks about optimisations at business
appropriate avenues to do so like programming meetings,
he just goes like, Yep,
I wanna optimise this and that and this and that and this and that,
and it's just like cool feels like, uh,
you know, like a really big scroll. It's just, like, unfurl.
You ask that question just unfurls across the table. Uh, Dusk asked.
Do you think in the future you'll attempt to break a record
of how many features you get it in in one change?
Look, no,
um, records and stuff like that are unhealthy.
Uh, Johnny says achievements can't be added to games and early access.
That's a shame. I'll take a look at that later.
Uh, everyone wants a link to the add-on that folders downloads. It's amazing.
I changed my download folder management. Let me find it for you.
Uh,
here it is. This is
organised downloads by date. I love it.
So there you go. There's all the extension for people.
It's called organised downloads by date. It's amazing.
Uh, I
can't really answer Bernath the grounds Question. Sorry.
Uh, but yeah.
Um, Magic. What's the? Is a real
cherry's prize possession you've acquired this year.
Um, there is this group of, um, figures on.
I gotta look it up cos I can't remember the name of them now, um, on Amazon, which are,
like,
amalgamations of two animals, and you can just order figures of them.
And it's amazing.
I want all of them. But currently I only have one random ones. That's it.
So I recently purchased this, um,
They have an official name. I've forgotten it, though,
uh, it's on the label, but I'd have to stand up and get that.
I think it's hawk. Yes, Hawk. It's a horse shock. It's just it's beautiful.
Um,
I want all of them.
Uh, you can also get plushies of them. Um, but I wanted the figures.
Um, I do like I do also collect pluss,
but like, they're big,
so the the figures are good. I've got a a shelf of interesting items. I call it
There is a name that is stolen from Stuart Ashton's channel.
Um, but, uh,
I have a shelf of interesting items.
Let's take a look. Um, yeah, my shelf of interesting items just like it.
It's really weird because some people would just be like, just buy more.
And it's like, No,
it has to be, like as random as possible.
So they there's a a van figure from Final Fancy 12.
And I got that because someone was leaving their job at Microsoft and they're like,
Come in, grab swag.
And I'm like, Can I just take this van figure and they're like, Yeah,
that's what I mean. It's random.
Like, one day I walked into my office, um,
at the Microsoft campus and someone had put a cat figure on my desk.
That's random. It goes on the shelf of interesting items. It can't just be.
I buy it from Amazon and fill the shelf. Uh, jinx actually wants a cat gift.
They'll get a cat gif this time.
Hey, you can have the special cat GIF, see if you can figure out what's going on there.
Uh, Johnny says, Are you enjoying the more relaxed session this time?
It's still kind of crazy. Sixties a lot. Um, let me scroll around.
Make sure that I've got stuff going on. Uh, to
Curtis says, Can I bug next? Instead of fruits? You can bug whoever you want.
It's just probably not the appropriate person or not the appropriate, uh, place.
Like if people bug me in game about bugs, I'm just gonna forget.
Like I'll try my best to not forget, But I'm just gonna forget
I might not forget all of them,
but I'm gonna forget at least one of the bugs that you
come to me if you put it on the issue tracker.
I don't need to ref. Like remember it. It's on the issue tracker.
Uh, Margaret says, does the add on work retroactively based on metadata?
No, it's only, um, it's based on download time.
So, like when you make a downloading chrome,
uh, the add-on goes like it's
2023 10 and it shoves it in that folder,
Q dot says What, if any. Um, is the product focus of resin?
Are you trying to be a competitor?
Uh, a VR, um Game engine Dev environment. Something entirely different.
Has this changed? Um,
we don't really have, like,
a a product focus or a product vision or something that you'd
put on a slide deck and give out to like investors.
So it's difficult to answer that question.
Um, I personally don't think that we're trying to be a competitor.
We're trying to be our own thing.
Um, a lot of people go like, Oh, it's it's it's via
chat or or resonate one. Not not. Not both.
I like it totally can be both, um, you know, a
bit like Pepsi versus Coca Cola. They're both gonna exist for a long time.
Are they in competition? Kind of.
But some people prefer one, and some people prefer the other,
and that's totally fine.
We are also yes, trying to be a game engine. Um, Dev Environment.
We've got business contacts,
education contacts that are trying to do stuff with us.
Absolutely. I think I've caught up on the questions there. Sorry.
The picture of the random all got, uh, got in my way.
Uh, Tiki says I have a world I want to migrate that I haven't saved prior migration.
What's the coolest way to import?
That item without for risking a full migration should be able to just do that.
There's probably no way to do it.
Uh, we don't have the way to support, um, just migrating on things.
But there we go.
Dusk asks. What's the weirdest random item on my shelf currently? Um,
I don't know. I'd have to go. Look, I'm I'm sat down. I don't wanna stand up. I'm lazy.
Uh, drink.
Is there a possibility of adding a music link material Like what VR
has? Yep. You already have it. You can build it yourself.
Uh, there's lots of systems that people have that have that.
But you don't need a shader, and you don't need a system and you don't need a material.
You can just write it however you want.
Uh, the six is when you create the documentation, do it.
Except to be community maintained or yellow dog man main.
Both commun, uh, documentation.
only works if, um, people are able to contribute to it.
And the reason behind. And that is,
um
people have different priorities.
So, like my priority might be, get the best documentation possible.
But I might just miss something cos I'm busy.
But if that one person is an expert, you know, they're in the corner of
reunite and they're an expert on the metre tip.
Bet you all haven't used the metre tip.
I know some of you will have, but not all of you have.
They're an expert on the metre tip.
I don't wanna block the documentation for metre tip being
up to date just cos I don't use it.
I want them to write the documentation for it if they don't want to. That's fine.
But if they're frustrated that they don't know how to use it,
so they want to write documentation for it Once they figured out how to use it.
Go for it.
I know they need to tip very well. By the way, Margaret says I found a bug for you.
Great. Take that bug. Capture it in a bug net. Put it in one of those like bug jars.
You know, like the jar with the lid that you put bugs in as kids. It's cruel, by the way.
Don't do that.
Um, put it in there
and then wait till the bug track is there. Otherwise I'm gonna I'm gonna forget
it. Uh, Tiki says, Well, a full migration re import all the items I deleted already?
Yeah,
yeah.
Uh,
Dakota says, uh, what do you think is the biggest goal for Reunite?
We wanna just exist for a bit. I think like we, we do have goals.
We do have features, but we just want to exist for a bit.
I would like for us to take a break.
The biggest break that we've got planned is is sort of B. NFC.
Um, lots of us are flying in for that,
um, and well, we'll probably still do some random amount of work during that trip.
We'll be out of the like out of our offices, et cetera.
So that'll be like a good, good break.
Uh, luck says if a world has a conversion issue during migration,
is it OK to edit the metadata to warn people about
the issue or that override the world and make it unfixable?
Yeah.
Saving a world that is broken,
um will make it unfixable when you load a world that hasn't been saved.
Um, are, um, like
our conversion stuff runs.
And if the issue is in our conversion stuff, it only runs once.
So that's why you don't save the world.
Make sure you log what the problem is on the github
once it's available. Mari
art has the IK improved from previous
endeavours or people still gallop when sprinting.
You can customise that yourself. Um, so
IK improvements are gonna happen at some point, but it's a little known thing.
Um, if you go through, rummage through all the IK components,
there's the second called gate,
Um, GAIT, not GATE. And that will configure how your feet move.
The default values are just there as default values. They're not good.
They're not bad. They're just default values. So feel free to change it.
Um,
the best way of messing around with those is delete all
the gates out of that cos Gates are based on velocity,
and then once you've got them all deleted,
you'll just have one play around with that one.
Get some settings you like then reload your avatar.
Copy those settings back into the avatar That's got all the velocity based Gates,
uh, Dutton
says. Are there plans to collaborate with the M MC next year?
Or is it too early to say currently?
Um, it's too early to say currently, as a reminder,
M MC is a third party competition run by Creator
Jam.
We do have lots of involvement in that,
but it isn't often from the the things that you expect.
So, yes, we do do the badges.
Yes, we do storage space sometimes,
but a lot of the involvement we have is because we
are asked to buy the Creator jam as a person,
not a company.
So I'm a judge.
Usually each year I'm asked every year as a person, not a company, to be a judge.
Um, I'm asked to work on the voting system every year again.
That's an ask to me personally. Not, um, the the platform.
The voting systems ran by me, not the platform, uh,
the six says regarding your answer above.
Do you expect the community's perspective will be writing,
said documentation based on experience and
experimentation rather than just being able
to look at the code and say it does this specifically?
Absolutely. Yeah.
Um, every single one of my tutorials has that. Until I started working for the team
and then I, uh, could look at the coat there. But, like, yeah, I just figured it out.
You have to remember that when I started playing, um,
no one knew anything to really?
It was just like pockets of tribal knowledge, and it took a while to spread.
Uh,
cyber says if you're allowed to say what happened that made you
all decide to confirm Resonate don't know what you mean by,
um, confirm
There are people giggling outside. My window is open. I'm scared.
I think they're just walking past. But whatever,
uh, cut
it says building on the product question because, hey,
we're cranking through the queue.
If there's no solid product, vision is the goal to make. YDMYDM is not an LLC.
It's a SRO,
uh, a self funding studio of our methods like crowdfunding,
Or is it mostly gonna be a legal entity for covering tech contracts?
Uh, we wanna make money, and we wanna pay everyone like our goal is to, like survive.
First of all, Um,
yeah.
And then we'll see what's going on. We do.
We are gonna make a product vision for reunite, but like,
it just isn't something I've got in, like a nice PowerPoint to to show you right now.
But yeah, we are an SRO, not an LLC. Do keep that in mind.
Like if you see a YDM LLC writing to you or anything, it's not us.
We're LLSRO which reminds you and I.
I hate to say this, but like, if anyone D MS you and they pretend to be us,
just just come back here and, like, make a ticket post a question.
Moderation or whatever.
Like, for example, anyone's like, come by Yellow dog man studios coin.
No, that's a scam.
No, no, no, no. Resonate Coin. Oh, no, That's a scam. Come back here
If you doubt. Come back. Don't give anyone any money.
Don't give anyone on the password. Don't give anyone anything.
Don't give a hungry, thirsty,
orphaned child on the side of the road
water without checking with yellow dog N studios.
Uh, Prestia.
What's your opinion on the patron? Changing their logo to a literal black blob?
Lots of people see the black blob and they react quite reactive.
Reactively
I react reactively?
No, Um, I mean, they're very reactive about it,
but they don't actually read the page or the
blog post to understand what's going on there.
Patreon are trying to change their branding to
be more fluid in a more digital landscape.
Now, you may say that that's, like digital advert. Um, you know, uh,
mumbo jumbo and buzzwords, but they do kind of have a a, um, an idea like,
is there execution of the idea?
Good. I don't know.
I haven't got used to the new branding yet,
but the idea is that a logo can change and adapt to the circumstances that it's in,
and I think that's really good.
Uh, Maurice says follow up to our previous commission. Uh, question.
Will the IK component in the inspector be easier to read? Probably not.
There's so many properties there.
We're gonna have to figure out what's going on there.
Paragon, uh,
says are there full transcripts of these primetime sessions available somewhere?
Yep. Uh, office hours dot
apple
prime dot co dot UK.
Um, has, um, an audio with subtitle player,
But you can also download the S RT or V TT file,
which do look a bit crazy cos they've got time codes in them.
But you can control FNS RT
and a V TT.
And if you have the S RT or V TT and I'm just saying random abbreviations I'm sorry.
Then you can open them in a player that allows you to simultaneously
read through the subtitles and the video I use subtitle editor something.
Um and that's really cool, cos I can like control E
When I said something stupid and it will jump the audio to that point,
Magic says, Do you have a favourite Saturday morning cartoon from your childhood?
And what fond memories or lessons do you associate with it?
Um
I don't know if I associate any lessons with it.
Um,
it was an educational programme. Um, I love anything from the look and see company.
I don't know if they still exist, but they made educational TV shows for, uh,
Children that would air on the BBC British Broadcasting Corporation.
And they are nightmare fuel, but they're like my kind of nightmare fuel.
There's one called through the dragon's eye where I'll
give you the beginning plot of it real quick.
Uh, some Children paint a mural outside of their school of a dragon and a land
the dragon comes alive. Breaths smoke all over them,
which I used to call like drug smoke. They go inside the mural and then they're in
the dragon's land. They've gone through the dragon's eye and they go to Dragon Land.
And, um, the vata
core, which is a sort of polystyrene,
um, shape a bit like a Pentagon. I don't really know what, like type of shape.
It's like a really complicated shape. Um has exploded and parts of it have been
sent across the Dragon Land and they've got to get them back.
Uh, and there's these really brightly painted people called like Huey Do and Loy.
Not that, but like similar sort of, you know, double barrelled names,
um, that help them. One of them has a magic flying bat.
It functions a little bit like a broomstick, but it's a baseball bat.
Uh, and they have to get it back.
And there's a bad guy called Chang and Chang can melt people very scary.
There's another one called, uh, legend of the Lost Keys or something like that.
Um,
a grandfather has keys that lead to a
portal that leads to another dimension where there are
people that wear very fancy clothing and they want
to come into earth and take it over,
even though they only have mediaeval equipment, so it doesn't really make sense.
But there we go.
Oh, by the way, I always ask this randomly when it comes up, just in case anyone has it.
But if you're from the UK and you have a VHS collection, rummage through it. And look,
if you have a show called Life Force, there's a TV show called Life Force that was, uh,
broadcast on in the UK on C BBC.
And the plot of an episode was so seared into my brain
that it took me 15 years to figure out the name of the TV show. Now I have the name.
I can just quote the name to people, and they can go see if they've got it.
But before that, I had to describe the episode that I remembered.
I'll describe the episode if we run out of, uh, questions and we have extra time,
Paragon says.
I finished your website. It looks like the transcript. It's only one at a time.
That's correct.
You could download all the files and control F three them, though, if you wanted to.
Uh, cyber says, uh, they're clarifying on the confirm
Resonate. Uh, yeah, I can't talk about that one.
Asia
says in reunite. Which file format do you recommend for importing models?
Uh, I recommend GLTF these days.
Um, lots of other people will recommend FBX,
but that's purely because they haven't tried GLTF.
I don't recommend FBX anymore.
Cos there's a propriety format that's dying,
whereas GLTF is actually being developed.
And
Margo says, Can we swallow the coins? No, Please don't.
Um
uh, Dakota says any plans for in-game moderation Moderators moderated.
Moder
Inga moderators Stroke Moderation In case there are
people trying to really abuse this system cause General
already set up, you can look on the right side of the screen here,
scroll all the way to the
top in a channel that isn't this one cos no Mods are here.
I'll talk to the mods about that later. Why aren't they here? Um,
they have moderating game.
They can be recognised by a shield badge that you'll see in their badge spaces.
They are not beat cops, though they are not designed to run around and patrol.
Uh, they can help out if they witness problems that are occurring.
But for 99% of cases,
you'll need to go ahead and submit a ticket at moderation dot ES dot
moderation dot resonate dot com.
Mm,
it's gonna take a while. Um, anyway, yeah, moderation dot resonate dot com.
And, uh, they'll take care of it.
All right, I, I got AD M so I had to, like, scroll around. I'm lost. Um
uh, Dusk says, is the release set in stone? Yeah. The release is set in stone.
The release was not set in stone until Monday night.
And I think that's when we announced the date. And then it was set in stone.
Um,
like it's it's in steam and everything, like steam is just gonna do it.
Um, burn to the ground. Says, are there plans to resonate much? Uh, yes. Um,
you'll have to attend Chrome's office hours to to learn more about merch. Uh, pika
says what time is reson night downloaded while on steam. Oh, you've
triggered my trap card. It's in the announcements channel.
It's translated to every single time zone. You just look at it and you go.
Ah, yes, I understand. Then I want you to print that,
cut it out on a piece of paper and frame it and then put it on your wall.
Why am I bleeding?
OK, uh, it's only a little OK. Next.
Uh, nitrous says it's still a bad idea to leave access aligners enabled in the world.
Yes,
unless you need them to actively access
align stuff beyond their initial access Aligning.
If that didn't make any sense, don't worry about it.
I'm not explaining access aligners here,
I. I will an editorial at some point,
Uh, jinx says, is it possible to currently pull out a pro?
Is it possible
to currently pull out a proto
flux card
instead of just the blocks from an item
you want to drive multiple variables on? No.
Proto flux cards are, uh, limited to just one property.
Um, that works out monumentally better in 90% of cases. Uh, tiki says, well, resite
come with an anti
flux virus. Think tail.
It already has one.
Um, Margot says, why can't I swallow the coins.
If you swallow metal objects, they start decomposing in your digestive tract.
And having loose, uh, metal in your system is not a good idea,
particularly if there's rust involved.
Yo, Yo says I can't help. I can't stop coding stuff in proto
Fox. What do I do?
Take a break. Go to bed. Make sure you're eating. Make sure you're drinking.
Uh, electronic posts, the moderation. Uh, icon. Fantastic.
Uh, Archer says to clarify this if you import code, um, and it's causing issues,
there's a good way to debug it.
That would need to be a bug report on our tracker
once it's available. Uh, jinx says, How long in terms?
How long in terms of string do you think it'll take,
um, people to stop mixing up platforms? Probably a month.
It's the same thing as like, you know, when a new year starts and you have to, like,
say, the year to someone you always say the previous year and then,
like I that usually lasts through January.
I used to do it at school a lot, cos you know at school.
They're always like write the date at the top of your piece of paper,
and I would always write it wrong.
Magic says,
What are the some recommended start up projects for non
technical users looking to get familiar with the platform?
Not a gun
and not a multi tool and not a custom inspector. Anything else?
Um, if you told me tomorrow that you wanted to make I don't know,
uh, a basic car that might be a good idea if you told me you wanted to make, um
I know a box that changes colour. Great idea,
but temper, temper your expectations.
Um, you're not gonna be able to build a giant gun that has, like,
a full reload animation and AJ
clips.
You know, I can't really do that. I mean, I could, but it would. Why?
There's hundreds of those, um,
and you don't need to build tools like the one
of the other problems I see is people go like,
Well, everyone else does it, so I must do it.
It's like you don't need to build tools. You don't need to build inspectors.
You don't need to build a multi tool.
Um,
you can use the existing ones, and Marcus says, Are you bleeding or are you?
Programme. I'm bleeding. It's my fault.
I'm playing with my penknife as a sort of fidget whilst I answer
these questions and I stab myself with the corkscrew on the penknife.
Rumi says that there are plans for
official android releases sometime down the road.
Probably no plans yet. No, no DVD S. That's a cloud in the sky.
Uh, doubles stick.
Says, is there some sort of heuristic check in self-replicating systems like T?
I won't be answering how that works,
cos answering how it works tells you how to get around it
and there might be naughty people watching.
Uh, yeah, I can't I can't answer how the antivirus works.
Um, for those who know how to go find out how it works,
you know how to go find out how it works.
Um, but I'm not gonna answer that because naughty people will be watching.
Uh, Sakti
says, I heard talk of you going to
Konzi. Oh, are you a furry? I'm very adjacent. I do have a character.
I do have an avatar that I wear, but it it's more like an avatar. It's not an identity.
Um, but I will be going, uh, to cons as myself.
And also as the avatar that you'll see me most
in the black dude with the black clothed dude.
Sorry.
With the the mask. I've I've got bits of that today. I've got a sewing machine as well.
It's gonna be a long time.
Uh, exo says, will the github
issue tracker be ready for release? It'll be ready if and when it's ready.
Not a moment for before. Not a moment after. When it's ready, it will be ready.
I don't know when that will be exactly, but when it's available,
it will be available.
Uh, burn to the ground. Says one. Will pro prime evolve into D?
Uh, definite prime. Are we missing a stone?
Uh, no. So, like,
this user name was just randomly generated from Xbox. Uh, game tag creator.
And that's just what happened.
And I just stuck with it, and now it's kind of just what I do.
So whatever.
Um, you can make jokes. You can make associations, et cetera.
I you know, I don't know.
Prime number
theory is something I'm interested in,
but I don't have the math smarts to go through it.
Uh, yeah.
You ask What are the requirements for an
avatars Li commotion controller to actually work?
I don't know. Off the top of my head, I'll have to take a look.
Um, and get back to you on that one.
I wouldn't suggest building one manually, though.
That
it says you're gonna 3D print the nose for the mask.
No, but I might pop into a joke shop on the way to the event and and buy one of those,
like nose moustache things from my joke shop.
It's a really good magic shop, actually, in the bowels of, uh,
Pike Place Market in Seattle.
Oh, I love this next question. It's gonna be amazing.
Uh, Perrigo says, what do you use for the speech to? Text transcript.
It looks really advanced. So,
yes, it is really advanced. I use AD BS transcribe.
Um, that's an a W BS amazon offering.
Uh, it is monetarily like it's It's, like, less than a dollar per session, though,
so I really don't care.
Um, but if you're talking about the player that represents the subtitles,
I wrote that in, like, 30 minutes.
I just destroyed it in 30 minutes.
Uh, Margot says if you have a food right now. What to be something cheese related.
Of course,
those are all the questions for the moment.
So I guess I'll I'll explain the plot of this TV show. I'll need to find it.
And the reason I need to find it is cos I thought
I was insane until I found the name of the TV show.
So the TV show is basically, uh, the UK is flooded due to global warming,
and so it's split off into islands.
So most people travel around these islands using boats. The series follows, um, a
father, son and daughter who live on one of these boats,
and they travel to various islands.
So each episode is usually an island.
Sometimes there are two parters where they spend two episodes on a single island.
Um,
the father has some sort of seizure related disorder that
in one episode causes him to swallow his tongue.
And that's a big sort of episode theme. Getting him medical aid.
Uh, but then another one is, um and this is the one that was like,
it's burned into my soul.
I can picture it as clear as day,
but until someone says that they've got a VHS copy of it.
I still think I'm insane.
They land on one of the islands, and everyone is acting incredibly weird.
And they're all eating small bird eggs like not chicken eggs,
but smaller than than than chickens.
They're all eating eggs, but the adults won't share the eggs with the Children.
There's this one,
daughter on the island who's like something's up.
Please help me so that the boat people try and help them
towards the end of the episode in an inexplicable way that literally you're gonna
think I'm insane because the the eggs were putting them into a trance,
and they end up in the island's church
and in the island's church.
There's a big stuff like at the altar that's got a red jewel in it,
and that's like shining laser beams over them and stuff.
And no one believes that they're in a trance.
So one of them eats an egg and goes
into the staff land and rescues everyone by destroying
the red gem on the staff inside
the egg land.
I don't know how the eggs got to the staffs or anything like that, but that like it.
It's there. It happened. I can see it.
It was a Life Force episode, though. That was the TV show.
Yep, that's the The Wiki page for it.
Wow, The the episode description is exactly what I described. Wow.
Yeah,
I'll read that. I'll read that, um,
so the the official Wikipedia.
Um, I know Wikipedia's not official,
but whatever is the Children pick up a distressful from an island.
I won't try and pronounce Responding to the call, they travel to find it.
It's completely deserted, Safe for G
Sleep deprived young girl in shock.
After a week of compulsively trying to stay awake, they eventually ascertain.
Her parents and the rest of the island
populace have been eating contaminated gull eggs,
making them
fall under a shared hallucination and gather to become
comatose in its church for an otherworldly crystal entity.
It happened, it existed. I just need the VHS of it.
Maybe I should like, uh, respond to the like, there's a BBC have archives,
so maybe it'll be on there Anyway,
um, let me go back to actual questions.
Uh, OK, that's answered. That's answered. Uh, I can
isn't, uh what are the chances are freaks doing office hours for, like,
deep dives and such.
I have, uh we've suggested it to them, and they they want to do something.
But but not right now. Um, I will eventually learn how proto
Fox works cos I'm in the codebase, like, every day.
So I will be able to answer those questions,
as will the community as they slowly start understanding what's going on.
Uh, the sticks, uh, scalable inspectors, component browsers, proto
flux. No browsers. That's something we need to make ourselves.
You can already scale them. If you can't scale them, you can enable scaling.
And there you go.
Um, if you can elaborate II, I might be able to answer that question better.
Ar just says, Do you need,
uh, the VHS specifically, or would you be good with the file?
I'll be good with the file.
The reason I say VHS is because I hunted for the
file for about three months and couldn't find it anywhere.
So I assume that the only place it's gonna turn
up is someone's random VHS collection or the BBC archives.
Jackal. If you found it, you've got a bounty.
Oh, my God. How is it that quick. Why does this shitty website not have any Sigma?
It looks like a dodgy website.
I, I my brows is very hardened against, like, bad stuff. But, you know,
it links to a Google drive like video. I'm much happier go to Google drive.
Yeah, it's just the DreamWorks intro and then it ends.
OK, Anyway, uh, if anyone can find that anywhere I,
I would I If it if if you get the whole season,
I promise I will send you a cake.
But like,
just the episode, you might get like, I don't know, a cookie.
Oh, stick means resizing. So it can just explain more about scrolling.
Yeah, we're looking into, uh, improving all of that.
Um, it might include being able to make your own custom ones and favourite one.
Margaret says promise tr,
uh,
re says, What kind of cake are you talking? Right, Y. I will get you a cake. Right.
It'll be decorated, and it'll be
like a good cake. We're talking like, you know, a $40 cake here,
right? I don't see any other questions.
Um, so I'm gonna leave it a little while to, like, you know,
have any other plans going through.
So, Marco, type your question. Dust kitten. Type your question.
Um, jinx, I'll give you a question as well.
Otherwise, no more questions, and we'll leave off here.
If you find that TV show, I
wanna It doesn't have to be the whole season. If it's just the episode, that's fine.
But like the whole season, you get a cake.
The funny thing about it is, and you can actually see that on the on the fake website
is like
the evil baddie of the series is the, um, actor from Homeland
and a bunch of other shows.
More recently, like the I always confuse billions and succession,
But he's in one of those two, prime.
Uh, prime says Margo says, Prime, I remember you saying You owe me a drinking take up,
uh, take me up on the offer in eight years or so.
Yes, or I can provide a age appropriate drink for you right now, Uh,
drink says in the dawn modular set is
to make a square room without resorting to Z fighting existing items.
That would sound like a great question for a
content team office hours that doesn't exist yet.
Uh, by the way, actually,
you can take a look at the event list for this
server scroll all the way to the top of the channels.
Click events. You'll see that we have Chromos office hours.
They'll be on Monday night. Um, at 3 p.m. my time. And Wednesday, 11th of October is
geens office hours, also known as geens Shiny pixel
a POUM.
So you can go to both of those.
Oh, you wanted to wait that long. As for personal reasons, Not legal reasons.
OK, I'll see you in eight years, then
have I seen the 4700?
Is that the one where Yeah, they ran out of budget or like, motivation,
like in the last sort of season.
And it got really crap,
they they could have had a really good ending, but they just kind of,
like fizzled out there.
Speaking of that and because we're out of questions, we're almost at time as well.
I mean, we're over time, but, like, you know, I I wanna tell people,
and I've got 59 people listening.
So here we go.
Um, there's a TV show called Sliders. The premise of sliders is the,
um,
a brilliant, science whiz kid discovers, um, an ability to slide between,
um dimensions.
They call it dimensions.
I think they mean alternate earths or alternate realities.
It depends on the the lingo that you're using for that particular sort of idea.
The point is,
they can travel to alternate Earths where different stuff has
happened in the history or future of the planet.
And, um,
they get stuck sliding between Earths,
trying to find their way home for very elaborate contrived reasons.
Um, throughout that they bring in, um, the science kids sort of crush,
um, the science kids professor and a random, um singer,
um that does like blues singing.
And they just travel. And it has, like, four seasons or five seasons.
I can't remember. But it just got crapper and crapper and shitter and shitter.
And part of the reason behind that is
the original actors kept leaving, but they kept leaving surprised,
So there was no way to sort of write them out creatively.
Um, Maximilian Artur,
who is the professor, is the guy who played Gimli in Lord of the Rings.
I've forgotten their name.
Um, he left with a A story that was written out cos he did the appropriate thing
and he told them that
he was leaving so they could write him out quite well.
Still, wasn't that well, though,
Um,
everyone else kind of just left randomly,
like the I. I'll spoil the last season, cos it literally you can't watch it.
It's terrible like you could, but it's terrible.
Um, in the last season from the previous season, the original main character,
the Science Wiz,
managed to get his brother like the actor managed to get his brother,
who's also an actor, hired onto the TV show because it it made a convincing plot.
You know, the science kid had a brother, right?
But both of those quit the show for the last season,
so they have to come up with a reason about why they've disappeared.
And the reason that they come up with is that
the brother that no one really cared about anyway just
got lost to the sort of like sea of Time
and
the main character's brain got merged with another random Joe guy
that exists in just the last season.
And so for the entire last season,
he's pretending to be a mix of the original
character and a new character to try and like,
give some sort of, like anchoring back to the start of the show.
But the only character who remains throughout the entire thing is Rembrandt,
Who's the blue singer I mentioned.
And he's the only character that remembers for the whole thing.
And at the end of the show,
Rembrandt solves the problem that they were trying to solve and goes home,
and it's just like it's just a terrible, terrible show.
It's called sliders, though.
OK, we got a couple of questions,
and then we're we're leaving off cos I'm I'm just ranting about random TV shows now,
um, so that a snake says,
What's the format going forward to prime time meetings after the launch period,
we plan to do each week instead of daily.
I am planning to do
each, uh,
each week. Yes, I might do like two times a week.
If there are enough questions,
Launch Week's busy and there's gonna be a a bit of busy, you know, past that.
Uh, but I, I you know I can't do this this three times a week thing again.
Plus, there's other people who want to get the stage to, like,
chroma and and gains for their time.
I'd love the content team to do one. I'd love fruits to sort of do something.
They said before, they kind of want to do a different format and I'm like,
That's fine.
We'll try and work it out.
We've also got content that's gonna start up on our twitch channel where, like,
you know,
there'll be more opportunities for you guys to talk to us
after launch and you won't need to listen to me.
Talk about obscure TV shows all day, Margo says.
If you had any superpower, what would it be?
There's a very good question to that, like some people say,
like very specific powers.
And I just say, like
a a difference from luck Cos luck is the ability to like
manipulate things around you.
But if you could manipulate the probability or the chance of something happening,
then you can have any superpower you you want
and, you know, completely unstoppable.
Now there is sort of bounding in sort
of the multiple parallel Earths theory about that,
like that superpower would be
the ability to
transfer your brain or consciousness to
like
the universe where that outcome happens.
So it could like
that's the way it would work, right? So a good example here would be
You can buy a lottery ticket,
but like
you don't know that that lottery ticket's gonna win. But you could
through your superpower,
enact yourself into a universe where your
lottery ticket was the winning lottery ticket
that bases itself on the theory that every decision you make
creates a different universe where you made the opposite decision.
But that occurs at like a quantum level. So, like, you know,
the fact that you went to the toilet at 1
p.m. rather than 2 p.m. also made another universe,
so it's not just decision.
It's like observation based
anyway. That's like, You know,
that's completely not.
I I'm I'm just gonna end off here like it's There's this too big brain idea.
Everyone else is just like I wanna fly and I'm only
flying like Does that mean that you're susceptible to cold still,
because flying whilst being susceptible to cold is a recipe for dying
because you'll be up higher in the atmosphere flying and die of cold.
So it's like Oh, OK, well, then I need to be like cold proof and to be able to fly.
And I'm like, OK, what about oxygen?
You know, you get higher up in the world than the air's thinner.
It's like, OK, so I can breathe and I'm warm and I can fly.
Um,
the stick birds don't contend with the FAA.
I don't think humans should, either,
but anyway, I will speak to you guys later.
That's just a quote. Birds don't have to deal with the FA.
