what's up everyone hopefully it didn't take me so long to get this working that the notification
went out to everybody it just occurred to me I might have just sent a notification to Floatplane for this if I did my apologies that's not smooth all right we'll see how
it goes I spent the last I don't know at least half an hour trying to get the
stream working on the big screen VR super cool so clear but I was getting some
weird issues with the with the microphone not performing properly like I don't
I don't know what the heck was going on but it just I couldn't get the mic
working so I guess I'm back on the index wait where where's my red set oh wait
what you get you guys can't even see my saber okay yeah my red sabers on the
ground even though I'm definitely holding my controller because you could see
I'm doing stuff every once in a while beat saber like I'm glad they're adding
lots of music packs and whatever but what I'd really like for them to do is
fix this bug where occasionally your saber is stuck on the floor I'm gonna
power off my controller power back on that's probably not gonna fix it though
I'm probably gonna have to relaunch the game yeah all right hello anything no
okay cool all right also it wow is this ever-running choppy I do not know what's
going on with that right of course I can't interact with task manager when
I'm on the virtual desktop because why would I be able to do that oh we're off
to a good start tonight yeah see my CPU and GPU are doing basically nothing but
I'm getting this obnoxious chop what is that also what just happened to task
manager okay glitched hard at some point I'm just gonna have to do a reformat of
this machine or something I think okay well let's restart the game at the very
least I don't man I don't even know if this is gonna be playable tonight okay
exit beat saber here we go
upgrade to Intel Arc yeah yeah for sure I'm gonna get right on that okay you guys
I guess can't see this right now oh yeah I look like I'm standing in a big black
void okay I'm launching the game yeah it's kind of hitching sometimes just very
disorienting and unpleasant hey glad you like the backpack 23 guy gauge okay do I
seriously seriously I still don't have my controller okay anyone any ideas we have
now relaunch the game it is definitely working no I can't pick it up anyone
seen this restart PC yeah believe it or not I just did that time to play one
handed mode let's go oh yeah yeah this is really not what I wanted to do tonight
though I wanted to just get some exercise I've gee I wonder why PC VR never
takes off whoops
I did not hit that
you turn off both controllers no they're both on you can tell the controllers
are on because my hand tracking is working it's just a bug that I've run
into in beat saber for it's been over a year like you guys gotta you gotta fix
that you can't can't have a controller just not working I can't Google it at the
moment but if anyone has any ideas for how to fix this that'd be super cool
get a connect thank you for that I'm back to talk radio and how many times are
you gonna ask me is it the controller work is a connect and STB is it it is
working see controller working controller working yes controllers working but
the game does not have it reset the room in beat saber all right someone at
least has a troubleshooting step for me here let's try it but the settings room
reset room all right let's go okay any luck nope okay well that was worth a shot
anyone anything useful mine was fixed after I turned off and turned on the
controller yeah we can try that again but didn't work last time
okay well I can restart steam VR but that's gonna kick you guys off for a
sec
you
you Hey, you guys got me back yet?
Okay, not just yet.
Alright, and now the left controller is not being detected at all.
This is an improvement.
That's okay, at least that I have ideas for.
Oh, oh, there it goes.
Alright.
Left controllers detected, and I think you guys can hear me again.
Where's my chat at? Oh, hey, there it is.
Alright, cool.
Next, I'm going to plug in my watchman.
I unplugged my watchman as a troubleshooting step just to make sure that the controllers were paired to the headset and not to the watchman because these watchmen suck.
The watchmen are the receivers for the Vive trackers, I think they're called.
Yes, yes, the arms are broken. I'm working on it.
Nice pose. You're not complaining.
Alright.
Alright, give it a sec, alright?
Just give it a sec. Oh my god, what is this?
Now there's an exclamation mark on my headset.
Update of it. No, we're not, no, no, we're not.
Oh man, the tracking is horrible though.
Okay. Do I need to update my headset?
Seriously? No.
Okay, we're going to try it. All this hitching though.
It's really bad. No, we're not going to do it.
We're not going to do it. We're going to try and play without it. Okay, let's turn on my trackers.
Give it a sec.
Would you recommend Beat Saber for a family game night?
I don't know. If you like never even getting the game fully launched, I guess.
Yeah, it would be great.
Okay, here we go.
Is the tracking working now? Oh yeah.
Cool.
Go play VR, they said. I know, right?
Okay, good luck everybody.
Yes. Success.
All right.
Warm up time.
Oh, whoop.
How are y'all doing tonight? He asked knowing that he wouldn't be able to monitor the chat.
Whoop, I tried to monitor the chat. Neon guy.
Believe it or not, this is nothing compared to the problems I was having with the big screen VR earlier.
I eventually tracked it down to that when I used the USB-C headset as my audio output for SteamVR.
And then I opened up OBS.
The output stopped working in SteamVR for some reason.
It didn't matter if I tried to mirror audio or anything like that because as a workaround that would have worked if I didn't need a mic.
But I don't have another mic. So I wanted to use the USB-C headset as my mic as well.
So even though I could mirror to the TV for OBS to use that for your guys' audio, for my audio,
I had no way to get it to you because as soon as I had OBS, grab the USB-C headset as any kind of input,
it wouldn't come through the headset anymore.
I had a meeting tonight that I had to go to so I wasn't able to go.
Have you guys seen that thing I predicted is finally happening?
It's popping up in the news. The children of YouTube and streaming stars are finally like,
Yo, where's my money? B-word.
Called it ages ago.
It's like, how have none of these guys sued their parents for all of their earnings yet?
It's a matter of time.
Okay.
Yeah, them kids be pretty entitled to the money. Forget the money though.
Like, what about all of the, just like having their entire life be on the internet without their consent?
It's gonna get real interesting.
No, my kid's been paid for the videos he's been in.
And same for my daughters.
Because I don't need to be dealing with that.
No bad mints in content. No one cares.
I mean, no one cares about this either, but you're here.
Man, this map is wack.
Shit.
Dammit!
Physical challenges aside, maps like this require intense focus for me,
and my ADD does not cooperate very well with me sometimes.
Yeah.
I don't understand this game. No feet movement and not sure what decides the swings.
Sure, let's do a slower one and I can explain.
Okay.
So in my hands are sabers. In front of me are blocks.
The blocks need to be cut. The arrow on the block indicates the direction it needs to be cut.
So you can see, if I cut it the wrong direction...
Hold on, wait for it. Whoops.
See that? If I go through the wrong way, it's bad.
The way you get higher scores is you slice close to the middle of the block
in exactly the right direction.
115 is the maximum.
My kids were paid money for appearing in the videos.
I don't remember the exact rate, but it was like a rate that was fine and fair
and they didn't work any more hours than they would have been allowed to
if they were, you know, child actors because that's the whole thing.
Oh yeah, this map's slow.
Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Hmm, one of the requirements I didn't talk about earlier is that you have to dodge the bombs
The ones with just a circle
You can hit in any direction you want
Dang it, there was something else I was going to talk about
Oh yeah, right I forget if it's, uh, you have to start 15 degrees in front of the block
And follow through at least 60 degrees past for a swing to count
So you can't just, like, hold the sabers in front of you and kind of, like, touch them
You gotta really swing them
Gotta get into that swinging lifestyle
What?
Is it possible to see what you see? Yeah, it should be up
Oh, that's, yeah, it's right there Oh, why is it so small?
It's so small
There, is that better? Oh, weird, it's, like, cut off
Uh, or is it? No, that looks right
Yeah
Yeah, there we go, is that better?
Favorite song on this game
Ooh, okay, well, we're in my favorites now, these are all favorites
Favorite song I don't know, it's a combination of things, right?
Like, it's the, it's the mood, it's the music, it's the map
Hmm
Favorite map
Well, this one's really good, it's just kind of really fun to play, it's not hard
I mean, okay, obviously, if you're a beginner, it's gonna be hard
But it's mostly just really simple strokes
There's no complicated combos
It's just one of those ones that's mapped really well, it feels like you're dancing to the song
I
Man, I gotta say the image quality feels like such a downgrade coming from the big screen VR
Did you guys see that chop? I gotta figure out what's wrong with this system
Yeah
I
I see some kind of like dancing chat moji thing, oh damn it
That's what I get for trying to talk to you guys
I didn't shoot the chat out of the way enough
So if this is an easier one, which is kicking your butt, yeah, I can show you something later
Like there are maps that are basically just, the whole thing is this combo that I'm about to go through
Oh
Oh man, I looked at the score, never look at the score
That's how you lose your double S
I'm on an index right now
Nice bulldobs Nah, I don't play ranked, I suck
Like I'm good for just like a casual random who plays the game, but ranked I get destroyed
This is a very difficult map for me
Okay, that was BS, I did not miss that
Okay
So this is a faster map, more difficult patterns, lots of bombs
I
Damn it
Ugh, I've slowed down a lot
581, 459, so my best is 640, 634
I'm actually pretty decently ranked on that map, but just not that good anymore
That's one I really liked though, maybe it's not one that like kicks my butt though, like I believe this was only missing one note
Like something that's like really, really hard for me
Probably wouldn't find it in my favorites, let's see
Okay, beat this? Oh yeah, beat this
Do you wrist flick or swing arms?
Do you wrist flick or swing arms? Uh, wrist flick, at this speed, like you couldn't possibly swing your arms that fast
Do you have a bleep for these streams? No I don't
Sure, let's do it
This one also isn't like a total butt kick or anything, but it's um
It's challenging though
What? I
Man, I'm getting that hitching again
Makes the timing really hard when the blocks are coming this fast
I
I I
I
Man I think next week's WAN shows the first time in a long time that I'm not like
Yeah, I guess we're gonna talk about this huge controversy or like major topic
Well, I guess with that said I'm sure Luke's gonna want to talk about the big
Open letter to open AI saying hey you guys need to stop training these models now
Still time, yeah, I guess I could say something controversial
Oh
Double S. Hey, let's go
Oh
Oh Yeah, you three getting cancelled I guess but like I don't know I think we only attended e3 once e3 was cancelled for us a thousand years ago
Oh
Whatever no way I'm full-comboing this anyway
I
Was days in by Carly Hansen really good underappreciated artist
I
Let's go
Man does this map really take a minute and a half to get going
Oh
Yeah, I swear I can hit that combo
See that one was harder
And
Okay double S. Let's go
Oh Oh
Holy crap, I got it
No
Still got it double S Oh
Would you switch to psvr no need all my mods and everything
Definitely wouldn't mind the just general painlessness of it
Do you feel a headache playing beat saber saber? No, I don't really get motion sickness too badly
Now the psvr2 headset is pretty sweet though
I
Oh
What a terrible terrible map
Oh
This one's not as hard as it looks unlike some of the other similar combos that I've been doing in other maps
That one's really repetitive See it's exactly the same the other ones have like crossovers in them like in the frozen heart style remix
Oh
Let's go personal best
Oh sue I don't even know what that is So
Someone told me you have to swing something I missed the last word kind of like flash read
Someone told me you have to nope. I'm going for a full combo here
All right, I forgot about this challenging part
Dang it. No, weren't you kidding me?
Are you kidding me see this is how this is supposed to go
That was supposed to be my full combo boys. Oh well that would have ruined it there apparently
Oh
Yes, I have like trackers on
Uh, do you always just play for fun slash exercise or if you have a really
ground uh specific song Uh, yeah, I'll practice songs, but like
No, mostly it's just for fun slash exercise. I mean I like to challenge myself in general
So I'm not just playing the easiest thing all the time, but
Okay, same point. Let's go. I want my full combo on this one. I don't think I'll ever get it though
It's just too hard. It's too fast
Even though it's only a two-minute map I just wear out before the end of it
Oh shoot, you know what it's early enough to start over. Okay
So So
Fun fact Without really giving up points you can hit them about
Almost 45 degrees off axis for the direction. So a lot of these
Yeah, see those diagonal ones in the top. I'm just hitting them straight up. Otherwise, it's impossible
Yeah, let's go let's go
So
Shoot
I can feel my left ARM slowing down rest rest
Damn it
Oh crap
Oh
No, I wouldn't be able to play this fall in a quest too. It's just not good enough
Tracking is not good enough refresh rate. It's not good enough
To be clear if you take a better player and put them on a quest too and tell them to challenge me, they'll win
but I am not as good. I would not be able to beat myself on lesser equipment. No
Oh
Whoa, I forgot about that haven't played this one in a while
If
Whoops
And the first time I nailed that combo I was so proud
Oh
Now do the ration famous we can tell you what's a grecian
Oh
That was a high risk attempt
Hmm break pizza remodeling on quest a I'll be unfortunate
Oh
Oh, I went too early
That's okay double that's okay. Yeah, this one's really fun
Oh
I can't even beat this one on rising. Okay, we're gonna give it a shot your test worked Jira
You know requiem I didn't enjoy Hercules at the time, but I've actually come to
I've come to enjoy it I think it's better in retrospect than it was given credit for
Not nearly as good as emperors new groove
Oh boy All right, let's try and do this thing
Oh someone asked for a song that kicks my butt earlier. Uh, this would be it
I
Like these crosses really tough
And when I'm my arms are less fresh I will not hit them and I will die
I can't even beat this level like I can't even stay alive nevermind double s
Okay, I gotta try and conserve strength right now
Shoot
Okay Expert plus it is our expert it is rather
Because
When I hear your name then my thoughts go running
Even on expert this one is non trivial
But some of those brutal crosses aren't in here and stuff. Yeah, it's a little slower
I
I am feeling reasonably sharp tonight. Maybe I'll go for that full combo and fit beat
Shoot
Oh
I'm only halfway
In our time
Oh
No I
Shoot
I thought I got it
I think this is one of those ones that I'm gonna have to slow down to take a better look at
Ironically, I seem to handle the left hand dominant side better
Oh well I survived
Huh
Uh, I'm not gonna do that right now. Fit beat. Let's go
All right
I
What no
Oh
Okay, I got this this time full combo, let's go
What BS I'm still getting these like stutters
Okay, I'm mad
Not quite rage quit Matt, but I'm pretty mad. That was crap
Now to the right
Oh, well, at least I had another one or missed another one rather
This song is a specific beat super song it's called fit beat it's five
I still want my full combo on this one too
I
Do
Man, I'm gonna have to really train up and beat saber We've got LTX coming up and I'm obviously gonna be challenging the community
Maybe giving away some pretty cool prizes if people can beat me
Can't believe I missed that one
Whoops. All right
By the way, someone asked earlier if beat saber impresses the ladies the answer is no
Hey
Whoops
Hey
So at my best I missed only one on this one I think is either one or two
It's not quite there yet Yeah out of 1045 I had a max combo of 883. I was so mad
No, I couldn't do the movements without the game not even a little
Oh
All right, I might have to call it I've only been live for an hour
Oh, man, I feel like I've done a lot more than that. Okay one more then
Okay, just want to survive
I just want to survive this one, okay
Last one I'm giving it everything I will survive
I
Four minutes of this no problem
Okay four minutes of this no problem
Four minutes of this no problem
Four minutes of this getting a little harder
No one in three quarters minutes of this easy
Okay
Crap are you kidding me? No, no, I got this
Okay Where's the crotch blur? I don't need it. I'm my avatars wearing pants. Okay. No, I got this this time. I can't believe that happened
I got this
Pretty good for a noob a noob with 250 hours in this game. Yes
So
Okay 100 focus
I'm chugging like a liter of water when I'm done this I
Let's go
Seriously
Oh, yeah, I got the rhythm
Shoot I'm not hitting those
Okay, I got it this time
Here it is got it
So
What the crap oh what I have so much trouble with that rhythm anyway. All right
No, I think I'm done. I'm out
There's a chat hovering in front of me here I can see it
Thank you guys for tuning in
Man show tomorrow, maybe I'll see you there. Bye
