Pyrion, your take on kids having control in games, and then not having control immediately after putting it down is such a interesting take. It's an interesting parallel to addiction that I hadn't thought of before

And weeks later, flax loves playing it every day. Character development.

no joke, i was actually filing documents while listening to this podcast earlier today

I remember when the very first episode of triforce came out. I can’t actually wrap my head around that being six years ago….

This is one of the best podcasts has come out in a long time. not to say any were bad. burst out laughing while loading for UPS.

PC arrowkeys is indeed a death note

Happy 6 years of this guff

this is a great episode. everyone was on point today

Elden Ring reminded me how good and fun games can be. Absolutely loved it.

Best episode in a long time imo. Good work lads! Excited to hear about the people who are filing next week lol

Hope everyones havin a good friday!

We do a lot of filing in my lab, for traceability reasons, we have paperwork that function as the primary record of all the results we produce. Also Sips, I am 31. And every business I have ever worked at keeps tons of filed paperwork for various records. Especially receiving paperwork, production schedules, any testing/calibration/spec certifications, and especially accounting.

I actually genuinely enjoy opera, classical music ect. I am also very into music as a whole. While I have come to appreciate it threw studying music, even when I was a little kid I always enjoyed it.

Child studies do show that math apps and a lot of phone apps in general actually turn off the part of the brain for critical thinking skills and turn on the dopamine hits that games give, similar to the reflex trend in videogaming (as opposed to puzzle solving). Im an english education major so critical thinking is the name of the game and their is a whole heap of research papers that ive had the fortune of having to write about. Id suggest looking into it because their is really an unavoidable crisis of critical thought thats happening, humanity should be fine, but our (future kids) mentals will suffer for it Edit: lewis posits that books are less grasping then games and he is right - because reading books forces us to use critical thinking skills (i.e interpreting language, turning pages, imagining a picture based on interpreted language, thinking about themes, etc.) Whereas videogames often give you more components making critical thinking less necessary. Boardgames and story heavy games kind of form a middleground between these two

I think Elite was one of the first games that changed everything without being a text-based adventure. The clever way of having a galaxy of systems on a floppy disc was mind blowing.

The doorbell…… Pyrion whats going on

To answer Pyrion's take on memory. Memory is the path that an electical charge takes to light up a series of neurons, a neuron can be conected between one up to 10k deferent neurons, a particulary path of neurons represents a memory, sensetion or a movement on our bodies, thats why sometimes when we expirience something that can light up an almost exatcly path of a old memory can trigger that memory. As a bonus the reason why Practice makes perfection, each time we do something like doing a stroke of a pencil or a movement, the neurons make a path for the electric charge to go throgh, every time that happens that charge loses energy making it weak and so making the accion that we are performing not constant each time, but the more we performe that accion a membran called myelin sheath starts growing keeping the strength of the signal there fore making the accion more presice and controllable, the so called ''muscle memory''

Im so glad they enjoy each other so much. They're one of my oldest pods and I'm scared of the day they depart to new things.

not sure if anyone will know this reference (i’m in the US) but when they talked about the beatles shortening their name to the “beats” i immediately thought of the cartoon “doug” from nickelodeon and how he loved the british band “the beets!”

Funny thing is. I was actually filing stuff while listening to this podcast

wow I've been listening to this podcast for 6 years...

Yeah, kids have so little control in their own lives. When they get any opportunity to have control, they hold onto it as much as they can. I sure can't blame them for that! Adults do similar things when they start to lose independence, too. I will say, though, it's easier to stop *anything* if you know when you have to stop, and you can prepare yourself for it. That's probably way more common for those of us with ADHD, but I get better overall results when I give, say, a 10 minute warning, then 5, then 2, and maybe even a countdown at the end. I'm not a parent, so YMMV, and it would be tough to do this for everything, but I find it handy when I *know* kids are going to complain. Yeah, kids get overwhelmed when they have too many options. That's why you're told to limit the number of toys they have, for example. They don't usually understand that they're *more* frustrated when they have more choice, and they haven't learned to deal with it yet. It can take a lot of self-awareness.

Man the end of this one had me dying

1:00:29 another classic Triforce moment right there

The Basis story is scary, as I listened to a drama where they did the exact same thing and started to transplant organs from clones into old people and eventually transplanted the brain of old people into young people - it was nightmarish!

I feel like it's not FOMO but option paralysis. I know I get that when looking at my game libraries..I never finish games anymore..except for Tunic. I'm finishing that bitch.

Really enjoyed this

I personally don't do it so I can't take a picture, but my girlfriend works in a government office that deals with lots of legal documents and often has to do actual physical filing

Hello chaps. Time for dad chat chill out 😃

Hearing Sipsy sing Breaking The Girl was a treat

1:00:00 we can freeze small amounts of tissue without much loss but larger stuff like a brain is difficult. Though the majority of damage is done when it´s being unfrozen so there is some small merit to people freezing themselves right now. As for memories no if the freezing and unfreezing process was done with little to no damage memories should be intact. They are based on the connections between neurons. Which do stay intact. I had a practical at a neurogenetics lab where they would grow Neurons from ipscs and have them actually be active. They did freeze samples and yes the neurons do still work though with some damage.

Interestingly Pyrion, our memories are almost always fragmentary. It’s why eye-witness testimony is generally unreliable, because our brains fill in details we don’t recall, just as long as it seems plausible enough for us to believe.

6:20 another instance of Lewis bullying Zylus(!)

Check out the bobiverse books. Very similar topics. Dude being frozen on death and waking up as an AI in the future to pilot a space exploration probe.

I’m excited for next week cause Pyrion has been playing more and more elden ring on Twitch. Considering these are a few weeks back, maybe he’s changed his mind

Yeah we still have to do filing - We generally have paper copies of all our electronic documents

I've been trying to get through the first Potter movie for years and years. I think I'm on minute 41, but the downloaded video I have can't quite cut it on a 32" 4k screen, so I have postponed watching it until further notice.

Damnit, this reminded me of that time that guy in the arcade ripped me off as a kid by taking all my tickets for only half the prize.

Happy Podcast Birthday (Yesterday, but still) \o/

The thing about kids and technology, as I had a similar issue as a kid (what Pyrion is describing), I just hated the real world. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was experiencing anxiety and depression. And I found everything outside of computers pretty boring. It isn't an addiction, it's either a necessity or a call for help. Maybe it's worse now because in my days (2006 onward was my technology 'addiction'), we didn't have tablets widely available, or even internet. It wasn't until 2010 where it felt like technology was making a breakthrough and had a big influence in my life. Reminds me of the scene in the Simpsons when young Homer hugs a TV. Your friend becomes the one who understands you best, and for Homer, that is television. For me, computers. For your kids, it may be computers too. I'm lucky I can even remember that moment in my childhood.

I live in Maine (US) and my grandfather suffered from ALS for years. He died with dignity with assisted suicide. I am all for it

LOL - Nova is one of my dog's names.

I was named Grayson before it became popular and they totally called me Gay-son

I listen too this Podcast, my job includes lots of filing

I have a nephew called Grayson and can report, as far as I am aware, no one has called him Gayson at school! Yet.

Damn feels bad man since one of the Foo Fighters actually died yesterday smh

59:00- Fallout 4 Nuka world DLC, Jus sayin

hey guys.. on gaming addiction and kids. I work as pedagogic school psychologist in Denmark. In general gaming is bad for kids, only when it fills out other good stuf, like time with friends and family. But games since 2018 has gotten real bad for kidds. Ever wondered whats the end game when games are designed around engagement, its designed to be addicting to kidds. Ever wonderes why minecraft suddenly needed to have flashy orbs fly out when you break blocks, and getting a bar go up. It makes the happy juice dopamine flow in the brain. And end station for that is that kidds get that fealing artificially easiere, so now other stuf, and toys arent as fun to play with, so yearh we are heading somewhere scary.

To anyone else interested in freezing their brain I would suggest "we are legion" by Dennis E. Taylor. Really cool thoughts on what might happen.

Dragon Warrior!

54:00 this is literally the opposite of the truth. Almost all basic research like this is publicly funded.

Sips dated the recording, we are currently post-Ukraine invasion, they must be abstaining from discussion

Souls games really are just for people who are good enough to play them.

As a geneticist I can just inform everyone contrary to medias often random claims.. We are absolutely nowhere near to anything close to a solution to reversing or slowing aging.. To simply explain why.. its not that we could simply alter all DNA and you stop aging.. it would mean adjusting so many systems turning back on and off specific genes which have many redundancies to protect their function.. so until we understand every single one of those pathways independently.. there cannot be a solution other than... we teach cells not to age.. so we cause cancer. We don't even have any understanding of how red blood cells age or get marked for recycling yet.. Real research is not 1 lab... "trying to do....." it's the world working together on very specific and small details to gradually work towards the bigger picture. This is real science and it takes a lot of time.

God, my sister is planning on naming her son Cai.

Notice that Lewis is smart enough to mostly stay out of the 20 minutes of Boomer old man yells at tablet talk, lol.

10 minutes in and they've already shared just the worst opinions about music and books. Love this podcast xD

How do you island people, living so close to the sea, don't like seafood? Oysters are great. No wonder all the fishers are struggling to sell after brexit.

controversial opinions right off the bat!

Again... Pflax leaves at a controversial subject. lo and behold! the doorbell!! It's okay Edward... your hate on Pokémon will be forgiven.

I don't really buy Lewis's shtick about Zelda and the first one you play being the best. I played Link's Awakening first, but Link to the Past was pretty clearly the better game.

first

This episode has aged poorly with all the Harry Potter talk. I really hope they are on the right side of the line in later podcasts.

I am sure that this man will never disappoints us with his videos🔥

Yeah elden ring is garbage. Should have been a great game, it's great to look at too. It's just dogshit to play.
