1 secondJust a uh quick video to drop a uh just an important fact that I think you ought to know.
0:1212 secondsSo Matt Stevens, one of the lead
0:1919 secondsprogrammers on the Sandbox game engine, he is uh also known as Handsome Matt. He
0:2626 secondsmade the Gmod store or whatever. Um he
0:3232 secondsuh uh so in 2019 he was also at Face Punch working there. He
0:3939 secondswas a moderator of uh then the official uh Sandbox Discord uh run by Face Punch.
0:4646 secondsHe and Ila were mods there I believe.
0:4949 secondsAnd um while he was a mod there and working camp face punch um he posted
0:5757 secondsthings in that uh in that server to troll people to offend people to just be
1:031 minute, 3 secondsan [ __ ] you know um one of those things was uh a link to the um I don't
1:111 minute, 11 secondsknow if it was a link or embed video or what because the message is obviously lost but it was what he posted was the
1:181 minute, 18 secondsuh 2019 19 Christ Church, New Zealand mosque shooting stream. You know that uh
1:241 minute, 24 secondsmass shooting that that was streamed [snorts] that was I'm laughing, but it's
1:321 minute, 32 secondslike a it's like a panic. It's like um like a holy [ __ ] laugh. Like that's a
1:381 minute, 38 secondsthat sucks. That I mean I I I feel kind of you know flight or flighty fight or flighty just talking about it right now.
1:471 minute, 47 secondsBut it is like yeah it's it's bad. It's um he's just like posted that and you know that's that's a video that's has
1:551 minute, 55 secondsbeen you know widely uh shared um with extremists. Uh you
2:022 minutes, 2 secondsknow that has been something that has uh inspired a lot of sort of copycats. That is that's a big deal. um that he would
2:112 minutes, 11 secondsjust post that just to piss people off in what is like essentially a work chat like where his co-workers are and where
2:182 minutes, 18 secondsyou know members of the public are too like face punches fans and all that people just trying to learn the engine like he he posted that right in 2019 and
2:282 minutes, 28 secondshe actually got his disc his discord account banned for that um and uh there's I've seen the email from
2:372 minutes, 37 secondsdiscord I've seen seen, you know, the ID of the requests, you know, to trust and
2:432 minutes, 43 secondssafety. I've seen the um that there's a link to the message itself. I of course
2:512 minutes, 51 secondsit's long gone. The server has been deleted um by Gary, you know, who definitely knows what Matt did. Um, but
3:013 minutes, 1 secondanyway, for posterity, you know, if anyone would like to I don't know if this is possible, if this data still
3:083 minutes, 8 secondsexists, but if anyone would like to make a case for a hostile work environment at face punch, you know, if they want to
3:153 minutes, 15 secondslike maybe subpoena Discord, say, "Yo, what was up with that? Like, what account did you ban for this request ID, you know, and this message? Is this
3:233 minutes, 23 secondslegit? Does this seem like, you know, what do you have on this?" because Gary doesn't tell his employees
3:313 minutes, 31 secondswhat to think. But, you know, that's um that's not as cool as it sounds, right?
3:393 minutes, 39 secondsGary tries to be the cool boss, the I don't tell you what to think. Everyone should just chill and get along guy. But like [snorts]
3:463 minutes, 46 secondsthat that doesn't really work when like one of the people you're trying to, you know, put in the box with all the other people is um just so obviously harmful.
3:573 minutes, 57 secondsLike it it's sad. You know, if I worked at Face Punch, I would be [ __ ] pissed at Gary for forcing me to associate with
4:054 minutes, 5 secondssomeone like Matt Stevens and, you know, Leila. But that's that's a more of a
4:124 minutes, 12 secondsAnyway, um yeah, I the fact that Matt wasn't immediately fired is is just Gary really [ __ ] up.
4:234 minutes, 23 secondsHe he dropped the ball with that. Like there's no excuse for not immediately firing Matt. He's not someone who it's
4:324 minutes, 32 secondsreally safe to be around if he's just going to show, you know, racist gore in work chat. you know, that's I don't
4:394 minutes, 39 secondsthink I need to say it, but that's that is um unforgivable. That is straight up a career ender. Like you shouldn't be
4:484 minutes, 48 secondsdoing that. It's the sort of behavior that makes it kind of impossible for other people to, you know, tolerate
4:574 minutes, 57 secondsworking with you. like what what if someone is like an immigrant, you know, what if someone is a Muslim and they're working at Face
5:055 minutes, 5 secondsPunch and they hear, "Oh, the one of the lead developers like Gary's right-hand man, um, yeah, he he showed footage of
5:135 minutes, 13 secondsthat mosque shooting to troll people." It's how the [ __ ] are you supposed to feel if you're in that situation? Like,
5:205 minutes, 20 secondsI mean, Gary can just say, "Oh, get over it. Get thicker skin." You know, grow up. Uh, you live in an echo chamber where people aren't sharing racist gore
5:295 minutes, 29 secondswith each other. Like you're you're enriched by this exposure to the [ __ ] heinous [ __ ]
5:365 minutes, 36 secondsbecause he's he isn't like the target of the bigotry that is,
5:435 minutes, 43 secondsyou know, propagated when you do stuff like this. He he can just like comfortably say like, "Oh, if someone's
5:505 minutes, 50 secondsbeing racist, if someone's sharing gore, just just [ __ ] ignore it. Just close your eyes, dude. Like, he's so [ __ ] stupid and sheltered. I hate it.
6:036 minutes, 3 secondsI mean, that's a big problem because he's he's supposed to be making a game engine that any anyone can enjoy, you know? I really
6:116 minutes, 11 secondsliked it for a while until the people who were working on the engine were just like they they used it as a platform to be [ __ ] [ __ ] and troll people all
6:206 minutes, 20 secondsthe time and share [ __ ] Trump memes and Elon memes and [ __ ] just like try
6:266 minutes, 26 secondsto provoke reactions out of me because like when I see that kind of
6:326 minutes, 32 seconds[ __ ] I get really it bothers me because I'm directly you know socially
6:396 minutes, 39 secondsmaterially like uh affected by the rise of fascism generally. Like that's not that's not a joke to me. That's not like
6:476 minutes, 47 secondssome hypothetical thing that I can laugh off like Gary can. Like he doesn't understand or care that he has it way
6:566 minutes, 56 secondseasier than everyone else for dealing with this [ __ ] and he's he's like sculpted this environment where these
7:027 minutes, 2 seconds[ __ ] fascist smitherses Leila and Matt are just like kissing his ass and
7:087 minutes, 8 secondslike sharing their shitty opinions and and and remember this isn't just like a work thing. This isn't just like a small
7:177 minutes, 17 secondsgroup of people who are like locked in a closet working on some uh software project for a long time. This is a
7:247 minutes, 24 secondspublicf facing Discord where people are just like saying the worst [ __ ] like okay so the
7:327 minutes, 32 secondsoriginal like sandbox Discord was deleted because of you know the [ __ ] horrible [ __ ] that Matt did and others I
7:407 minutes, 40 secondsassume like I wasn't there. That was before my time. I've only been doing sandbox stuff for three years. The new
7:477 minutes, 47 secondsofficial sandbox disc court server is like it has the same spirit of just being a place like you can sometimes
7:577 minutes, 57 secondsthey'll talk about like actual development stuff. Other times they'll just like [ __ ] it say really mean stuff and even when
8:058 minutes, 5 secondsthey're like even when they're doing stuff that that's like their actual work like talking to people who are trying to use
8:128 minutes, 12 secondstheir software you know they'll still be [ __ ] about like to give you an example um there is someone who is a
8:218 minutes, 21 secondsrather famous figure in the game development uh indie game development space uh Kennyan alley I think she's
8:288 minutes, 28 secondsfrom the Netherlands. Um he makes these asset packs. Um they're really great. Um you should check him out. They're uh shout outs to some guy way more famous
8:378 minutes, 37 secondsthan me. Um there is [gasps] this guy is like really the kind of person you want to have, you know, supporting your new game engine.
8:488 minutes, 48 secondsAnd Matt and Ila have just like been total [ __ ] to him. Like just [ __ ] weird goblins to him. and and like he
8:568 minutes, 56 secondsstopped doing stuff in Sandbox. I I wonder why, you know, not only that, but obviously
9:059 minutes, 5 secondsI'm not able to tolerate the [ __ ] that goes on in there. I I've been like the target of like too much trolling to
9:139 minutes, 13 secondsreally get into. Like I don't want to waste your time with that, but like the atmosphere in the Discord server is [ __ ] bleak. It is just people
9:219 minutes, 21 seconds[sighs and gasps]
9:229 minutes, 22 secondstrying to like just be all sassy and like trying to get a rise out of each other. Like one guy uh like posted a
9:309 minutes, 30 secondsphoto of like um Alex Prey like just to piss me off because he was like talking about um like he knows that I'm pissed
9:399 minutes, 39 secondsoff about all the ice stuff. And then like Leila the face punch lead one of the lead programmers on Sandbox was
9:469 minutes, 46 secondstalking about oh I love ice Trump's not doing enough and all that. just to piss me off because like they know that me you know like I'm really affected by
9:549 minutes, 54 secondsthese things that are happening in my country and um [sighs] you know for a while the the sandbox
10:0210 minutes, 2 secondscommunity was great for me um because I was making games and tech demos and I was doing a lot of really cool stuff. I
10:0910 minutes, 9 secondswas excited to share my projects with people. It was my main creative outlet.
10:1410 minutes, 14 secondsIt was I've I've I'm basically unemployable. I I have disabilities which make it extremely difficult for me
10:2310 minutes, 23 secondsto like kind of integrate with society in the way that's kind of expected where um like even holding like an office job
10:3210 minutes, 32 secondswhere I just do like QA work or something like that. That's too much for me right now. So, this has been like a great way to sort of talk to people and
10:4110 minutes, 41 secondsum do stuff and be a part of the world and feel like, you know, I'm down on my luck. I I have, you know,
10:4910 minutes, 49 secondsI I don't want to like fall too much into self-pity, but like like I need to recognize I I am marginalized. I I am
10:5610 minutes, 56 secondssomeone who is who really like struggles to get the
11:0411 minutes, 4 secondssame experience as everyone else. Um, so but like I'm also
11:1111 minutes, 11 secondssomeone who like when I see this kind of thing when I see the community just like slowly filtering out people because it's
11:1811 minutes, 18 secondsso rampant with like bullying and toxicity and far right uh just just
11:2511 minutes, 25 secondsplatforming really hateful stuff. Like I
11:3111 minutes, 31 secondsit it bothers me. I I can't I can't let it go. I have to say something, you know, even if it means making an enemy,
11:3811 minutes, 38 secondsyou know, I, you know, I put my skin in the game. Gary doesn't or No, he does, but he doesn't realize it. Like, he
11:4611 minutes, 46 secondsdoesn't realize that his actions right now are absolutely [ __ ] him. They're absolutely [ __ ] him over. They're [ __ ] over face punch. Every employee
11:5511 minutes, 55 secondsthere who like isn't a freaking [ __ ] like who isn't some weird chud. Like everyone working there right now [ __ ]
12:0412 minutes, 4 secondshates Matt, I assume. I mean, I can only assume at this point, right? Like if these if Matt Leila like if these two
12:1112 minutes, 11 seconds[ __ ] are just going around ruining things like making Face Punch look like a den of of [ __ ] freakish outright
12:2012 minutes, 20 secondsweirdos. Like if these guys are making such a huge stink, causing reputational damage, driving off members of the
12:2812 minutes, 28 secondscommunity, like like genuinely hurting the ability for the for the sandbox to actually take off, like why would you want to be associated with these people?
12:3912 minutes, 39 secondsLike Matt and Ila, they're like probably friends to Gary. They probably hang out, go to the pub, all that [ __ ] Like they tell good jokes, Gary laughs and all
12:4712 minutes, 47 secondsthat. So, like I think he's just too [ __ ] weak to lay down the law and say, "Hey, you know what? You're you're really
12:5612 minutes, 56 secondsI mean that the the generous interpretation is that Gary's a [ __ ] pushover who can't say no to people who are just [ __ ] on his bed, you know,
13:0513 minutes, 5 secondswho are just like breaking into his well, not breaking his house. I guess they've been invited into his house, but they're tracking mud onto the carpet.
13:1213 minutes, 12 secondsThey're wiping their dirty racist fingers on everything. They're they're they're like plugging one nostril so
13:1913 minutes, 19 secondsthat they can hawk a booger like just launch a booger out the other nostril, you know, like a chud. I don't know.
13:2613 minutes, 26 seconds[laughter]
13:2713 minutes, 27 secondsIt's just being absolutely insufferable [ __ ] in Gary's house and he just lets them he just lets them
13:3613 minutes, 36 secondswalk all over him either because he's a pushover and he can't say no to his friends. He's like some [ __ ] pathetic
13:4213 minutes, 42 secondsMichael Scott like sad who can't like he who just can't comprehend that your
13:5013 minutes, 50 secondssubordinates, you know, the people you have in insane amounts of power over aren't necessarily going to be your friends. Um like he doesn't get that. Or maybe he just he just loves racism.
14:0214 minutes, 2 secondsThat's that's the thing. Like maybe he's just a racist and he loves racist things and he wants to collect racist things and you know make them upper management
14:1014 minutes, 10 secondsand just live in a racist bubble. Maybe Gary's a [ __ ] racist. Who knows? Like I I can't say I'm not a mind readader.
14:1914 minutes, 19 secondsUm that's the thing. I'm not a mind readader. Um I can't tell you like what crimes exist in their soul. Well, I can
14:2714 minutes, 27 secondsonly tell you that like, you know, Gary has all the power in this situation to make things right. Namely, you know,
14:3414 minutes, 34 seconds[ __ ] fire Matt, tell Leila to shut the [ __ ] up and not talk to anyone who's important. Um, and like he he chooses not to.
14:4614 minutes, 46 secondsHe has made the choice that no, uh, I'm a ride or die for these freaks.
14:5214 minutes, 52 secondsUh, even if that means dragging the whole company into it. I I've heard from a face punch programmer um who isn't
15:0015 minutesmattera you know they I've heard from them that like this this whole thing that I've been doing like bringing up stuff on blue sky like talking about how
15:0915 minutes, 9 secondsthere's all this bad behavior going on like that programmer is really annoyed because uh you know this thing is making
15:1715 minutes, 17 secondsthem seem bad by association like like me saying these things or maybe the fact these things have even happened
15:2515 minutes, 25 secondslike It makes it seem like Face Punch is like just a hot bed of racist weirdos.
15:3015 minutes, 30 secondsBut I mean, that's not my fault. That's that's [ __ ] Matt, Ila, and Gary's fault. Like Ila who says, you know, absolutely no immigration, you know?
15:3815 minutes, 38 secondsThat's that's xenophobic, right? That that I mean, that's that's also racist.
15:4215 minutes, 42 secondsLike, because when when [ __ ] British chs think about immigration, they're thinking about brown people. They're
15:5015 minutes, 50 secondsthinking about Muslims. They're thinking about like victims of the there's there's like a Didn't you guys have like a pog rum recently? Didn't you guys have
15:5815 minutes, 58 secondslike some horrible race like violence, you know, where a bunch of loser white guys like tried to burn down houses?
16:1116 minutes, 11 secondsLike that's that's nuts to me. Like that what why is Face Punch Why the [ __ ] is
16:1716 minutes, 17 secondsFace Punch cultivating these kinds of attitudes? Like what the [ __ ] Come on,
16:2516 minutes, 25 secondsdo better. You can do better. But Gary, he's not gonna do better unless he's forced to. That's the thing is like the
16:3316 minutes, 33 secondsgreat man theory of history is [ __ ] right? It's not it's not the fact that like Gary's the wrong guy to be leading face punch. It's the fact that the
16:4116 minutes, 41 secondssystem isn't going to hold him accountable. There's like there's like no way to easily like bring these issues to light and make sure that Gary is
16:5016 minutes, 50 secondsappropriately punished for his [ __ ] negligence.
16:5416 minutes, 54 secondsThat That's the thing, right? He he owns the company even though from what I hear like the betterun part of the company is
17:0217 minutes, 2 secondsthe one like that makes Rust you know like Alistar is way better about this apparently like and like the people
17:1117 minutes, 11 secondsworking under him generally aren't such raving [ __ ] Um, which is interesting because what we have is a
17:1817 minutes, 18 secondssituation where a company where the money-making portion of it isn't like a bunch of freaks, but then there's like this tangential
17:2517 minutes, 25 secondslike freak portion of the company where racism is free to reign, you know? And
17:3217 minutes, 32 secondsuh I I'm just saying if if everyone on the Rust team said, "Hey, we don't want to deal with [ __ ] racists. We don't
17:3917 minutes, 39 secondswant to deal with [ __ ] freaks. Please fire these assholes." Or no, not not even please. We demand you fire these
17:4617 minutes, 46 seconds[ __ ] or we're not going to [ __ ]
17:4817 minutes, 48 secondswork for you, right? Like like you could you could actually all of you together, you could say, "Hey, we're doing a we're
17:5617 minutes, 56 secondsdoing a strike here. Um we're we're not working until [ __ ] Matt's fired." You could do that. I mean, that's my own
18:0318 minutes, 3 secondspersonal like pro that's my like pet cause, right? I don't want I'm not I'm not going to enlist an entire
18:1118 minutes, 11 secondsdevelopment team to fight my battles. Um I guess it's not really my battle. It's like yours, right? It's your it's your reputation. It's it's your being associated with [ __ ] freaks, right?
18:2018 minutes, 20 secondsLike it's letting Gary just have his way with fa face punch even though I mean he doesn't do that much compared to other
18:3018 minutes, 30 secondspeople. Like um he is he's not like doing all of the work anymore. It's like it's not like a garage project anymore.
18:3818 minutes, 38 secondsHe has dozens and dozens of employees.
18:4118 minutes, 41 secondsHe certainly owes them more than they're given. Although I hear the compensation of face punch is pretty good. Um so I guess I don't know.
18:5118 minutes, 51 secondsIt just kind of strikes me as being like um I don't know if have you seen Mr.
18:5518 minutes, 55 secondsRobot? There's like a scene where like a rich guy in a suit just like throws dollar bills at a homeless man after beating up the homeless man for fun. Um,
19:0419 minutes, 4 secondsyou know, like just I'm I'm gonna be an abusive [ __ ] but like you here's some money. So like uh
19:1219 minutes, 12 secondsyou know, money buys anything. It can be converted to and from anything. It solves all ills. You know, here's some money. So what's the problem? Um
19:2119 minutes, 21 secondsGary's just that kind of guy. I think I I truly believe that like
19:2719 minutes, 27 secondswell I think he's not a great guy. Um, but I mean I guess I can't get too specific because I don't know. I don't
19:3419 minutes, 34 secondsknow what goes on in his head. If anyone if Look, I I've gone way off the rails here. I'm not going to make a script for this because every time I try to make
19:4319 minutes, 43 secondsthis like I I panic. Like seriously, this I feeling uh flight or fight. Like this is
19:5219 minutes, 52 secondsthis since I since I was like banned from the whole sandbox community for speaking out
20:0020 minutesagainst Gary like um speaking out speak up against Gary Matt. Um I I complained about Sam as well, but he's not as big
20:0820 minutes, 8 secondsof an issue because he can at least um hide his power level as the Nazis say.
20:1420 minutes, 14 secondsUm, which like I still think he's a problem, but like definitely not a battle worth
20:2120 minutes, 21 secondsfighting at this point. Anyway, um, so like [sighs and gasps] since I got banned for calling out all
20:2920 minutes, 29 secondsthis stuff like it's I just been really depressed, really anxious. Like I've been thinking about this basically every
20:3620 minutes, 36 secondsday. It's been a dark raincloud looming over my life because, you know, this was my main creative outlet. I liked making
20:4420 minutes, 44 secondsstuff. I like letting other people see the stuff that I make. I just I lost that. I I
20:5120 minutes, 51 secondsI've lost something that's really important to me just because I spoke up about something that was a
21:0121 minutes, 1 secondhuge problem. And you know, I'm not the only one who's felt horrible who's who's been like driven out of the community
21:0821 minutes, 8 secondsbecause of all the bullying and toxicity and just horrible behavior that like Gary allows. It's
21:1621 minutes, 16 secondsit's it's been it's been rough. Um I have friends, you know, I talk to and you know, I'm going to therapy, you
21:2421 minutes, 24 secondsknow, I have a session every week. Um, and you know, believe me, uh, this this [ __ ] has been like the, uh, the main
21:3221 minutes, 32 secondstopic I've been talking about for months. Um, it has been really [ __ ] me up. So, I guess I don't know. Part of
21:4021 minutes, 40 secondsme making this video was katharsis. I want to get this out there. Right. I really hope I really hope that someone,
21:4821 minutes, 48 secondsyou know, at Face Punch or maybe a journalist or like it just Okay, so if someone at Face Punch wants
21:5521 minutes, 55 secondsto try to change things, don't do not individually try to change things. Let me let me be clear about something. Um
22:0222 minutes, 2 secondsGary's a petty [ __ ] He's going to retaliate if you do that.
22:0722 minutes, 7 secondsOkay? Do not do anything as an individual to speak out against this. right? Um, at least not like directly.
22:1622 minutes, 16 secondsIf there's some like labor board in the UK, I don't know how it works over there where you can say, "Hey, this this freak, it works at the company who's
22:2422 minutes, 24 secondslike a racist and he says horrible things and makes everyone feel uncomfortable." Like, if there's like some documented thing you can point to
22:3122 minutes, 31 secondsto get like local regulators to come in and say, "Hey, you're not doing labor correctly." Like, you know, maybe maybe you could do that. But, you know,
22:4022 minutes, 40 secondsassuming you can avoid retaliation. Um, but don't like do anything alone because Gary's gonna [ __ ] you over. He doesn't
22:4922 minutes, 49 secondscare about you. He really doesn't care about you unless you're a racist. Like, that's the thing. I think that's the thing, honestly. I think that's the thing he looks for in an employees.
22:5922 minutes, 59 secondsLike, he'll pretend to like care. He certainly will pretend to be the cool boss until it's like inconvenient until
23:0623 minutes, 6 secondsit like insults his ego that like you're that you're saying like, "Hey, you shouldn't allow this kind of behavior.
23:1423 minutes, 14 secondsYou know, it's not cool." So, yeah, as an individual can't do anything. Um, you could unionize though,
23:2123 minutes, 21 secondshonestly. I mean, this this is sort of hand wavy at this point for me, like a almost a meme in America because our our unions are so weak uh comparatively
23:2923 minutes, 29 secondsspeaking. But that is genuinely the solution. Like if if your boss is like an [ __ ] and he owns the company and there's nothing you actually can do like on paper, unionize.
23:4123 minutes, 41 secondsThat's the only way you can actually force him to do anything is unionize.
23:4723 minutes, 47 secondsAnd plus, when you're dealing with these issues, if you're trying to change things alone, that's imposs Well, it's not impossible, but it's a huge burden.
23:5923 minutes, 59 secondsHR will not be on your side. They're there to a avoid liability.
24:0524 minutes, 5 secondsI if you go to HR, it has to be something with like it has to be with something that's like criminal or that
24:1224 minutes, 12 secondsthey can be sued out the ass for just to scare them into doing something. If you don't have something like that, don't bother with HR. They're not going to fix
24:2024 minutes, 20 secondsthings. Um the one, you know, someone who could be on your side though is like a union rep,
24:2824 minutes, 28 secondsright? because um they would they would represent the interests of you and your workers and you wouldn't have to go this
24:3524 minutes, 35 secondsthing alone. Like that's the thing is like so you know I have I have autism, ADHD, social anxiety. It's been very
24:4424 minutes, 44 secondsvery difficult for me and the few jobs that I've held to really advocate for myself. I and I've made the mistake
24:5124 minutes, 51 secondsbefore of going to HR and then you know getting put on a PIP and told you should smile more. Um,
24:5824 minutes, 58 secondsoh yeah. Um, so it's [clears throat] I really would have benefited from
25:0625 minutes, 6 secondshaving a union rep I can talk to who would actually in good faith be like, "Oh [ __ ] you know, uh, it sounds like you have a disability. Let's make it
25:1425 minutes, 14 secondsdifficult for you to do your job. Here, I'll help, you know, negotiate a way for you to get into a position that better suits you. you know, back into an old
25:2325 minutes, 23 secondsrole that you did or like um I mean that that that's me like talking about how I I I needed accommodations. But in this
25:2925 minutes, 29 secondscase, it'd be like I guess your union rep would have to like talk to Gary like say, "Hey, uh why
25:3825 minutes, 38 secondsare you allowing this? Um here's the reasons why this is a problem. You know, why this uh will cause issues for lots
25:4625 minutes, 46 secondsof people." Um, like you if you're just like a random programmer like you shouldn't have to be the taking the burden of explaining
25:5425 minutes, 54 secondsthis, right? Like it it really sucks the way that labor works where like you are
26:0426 minutes, 4 secondsyou have like this massive responsibility to negotiate and advocate for yourself. But um if you're like
26:1126 minutes, 11 secondsdisabled or you just don't have a lot of free time or energy to devote to this [ __ ] like it's a tax that like makes it
26:1826 minutes, 18 secondsreally disincentivizes um holding people accountable for shitty behavior. And um and if you're one person, right, if
26:2726 minutes, 27 secondsyou're not collectively bargaining for something, then you practically have no like real power, right? You're just you're just kind of praying that the
26:3526 minutes, 35 secondsperson you're talking to isn't an [ __ ] And I'm I regret to inform you that Gary is an [ __ ] He employs a
26:4326 minutes, 43 secondsfew [ __ ] who he keeps close. He just revels in assholeery. He just it it's
26:5026 minutes, 50 secondsit's his thing. It's It's He's not going to change unless you force him. That's Yeah.
26:5926 minutes, 59 secondsYep. [sighs] Well, yeah. Part of the reason I made this video was catharsis. Part of it to,
27:0627 minutes, 6 secondsI guess, inform other people. Honestly, you should if if you made it this far without looking at the transcript, you know, the automatically generated
27:1427 minutes, 14 secondstranscript that's available on every video on YouTube. Wow. Um, you could have skimmed the transcript, though.
27:2027 minutes, 20 secondsThat would probably would have saved you a lot of time. But I I appreciate it.
27:2327 minutes, 23 secondsYou know, this is I'm venting. I'm talk about something that's important, but like I I don't have the means right now like emotionally like I I cannot I
27:3127 minutes, 31 secondscannot like write a script in Obsidian, a note app, and like uh record something really nice and put it in Vinci Resolve and like put a lot of nice visuals on.
27:4227 minutes, 42 secondsI'm I think I'm going to just do like a black screen for this video and unless there's like a specific thing I need to show. Um
27:5027 minutes, 50 secondsit is yeah so yeah my advice is stay away from stay
27:5927 minutes, 59 secondsaway from face punch stay away from sandbox you know if you can just I mean if you're if you're making money on you
28:0628 minutes, 6 secondsknow on sandbox if you're if you're like if you just need to get by and like you know survive you know have money for
28:1528 minutes, 15 secondsrent and all that like I understand like I'm not going to guilt anyone for still using the sandbox engine, but let me say
28:2328 minutes, 23 secondsif you are considering getting into the engine, I would strongly advise do not because you know the guy the guy you're
28:3128 minutes, 31 secondsgoing to ask to implement asynchronous uh readbacks of GPU buffers is like
28:3928 minutes, 39 seconds[ __ ] racist [ __ ]
28:4128 minutes, 41 secondsThat like that's that's the thing. Um, like you you're going to need to collaborate with some people who are very just awful, like awful.
28:5228 minutes, 52 secondsOh yeah. Um, so I kind of wish I put all that time into GDAU, but um, I did meet
29:0029 minutesa lot of good people in the Sambox community. And to be clear, like most of the Face Punch employees are actually
29:0629 minutes, 6 secondsawesome. It's just like a few [ __ ] It's just like it it's tragic because if a few things were different like this
29:1429 minutes, 14 secondswould be amazing. I would be so happy right now. I I'm just so pissed.
29:2029 minutes, 20 secondsAnyway, um I'm gonna work on GDAU or something. Um you have fun, you know.
29:2729 minutes, 27 secondsTake care. Bye everyone. Um hopefully next video will be nicer
