Topplenaut

My "home" on the internet is my YouTube channel. I like to make stuff.

With most of my followers and followees having become inactive on Twitter, and Twitter now cluttering my feed with a lot of tweets I didn't sign up for, I am going to leave Twitter. I'm not deleting my account, but for a while, I'm gonna just not use it and see what happens.

@jonkerlin @SCB_Ben @APOPCAST
Today I found out Brandon Sanderson (wildly popular author lately) ALMOST stole your podcast name.

@Pip9766 I don't think that's a word.

What word is that?

I want a refund.

Imagine if you were to show this screen to someone from the 1800's, and explain that when this tiny white curved line appears, which just kind of resembles a hair or a scratch in an arbitrary position, it indicates that something I purchased is being delivered to me.

@Pip9766 @ThePolyester_ @npgcole @GasglowJones @SoNSoExists @Fantxtik @CaptainClay55 @MO_of_Ninjago @chrisramzie @Grep_Blacksmith @Garrulous64YT I count three that could be me. :P If it's the last one then it's a deep cut, but it's so specifically worded that has to be it.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@SAri19283 @DrewLally22 @NostalgiaFolder Lol, no I guess it doesn't. I spent a while just trying to squeeze my message into one tweet, so part of the intention was lost. I think I used to be able to post longer tweets than that.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@DrewLally22 @NostalgiaFolder I meant it as a compliment. I love this kind of thing. It's charming when done right.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@saramoe @LEGO_Group You know that's right.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@LEGO_Group Is the black line supposed to be a smile, or the nose piece of the glasses?

I need to know. The interpretation changes the facial expression and vibe drastically.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

Just dreamed I was starting a new series on my channel, building a wacky city/world like in LEGO Worlds except with real LEGO. It was gonna be vloggy, exciting... @DNSlashGamer lived near me and we were gonna collab. A lot. I remember seeing a big room with two LEGO cities.

Do you think orangutans see tigers as pets, or as equals?

If you can get an idea of what this future video contains just by looking at the edges of the thumbnail (red part is not part of the thumbnail), you give my channel more attention than it deserves, and I thank you. #Topplenaut

Bluetooth is weird, man. I can have my earbuds in, listening to a podcast from my phone that's in my pocket, walking around... then I reach down and realize my phone is in fact NOT in my pocket... I don't know WHERE it is... but I know where the podcast is, it's still in my ears.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@Pip9766 4 years later, I'm adding to this... They show holo-keyboards where you can't feel the keys. 2D holographic screens that only show the color blue and are transparent. This is a downgrade from modern tech. Physical screens have higher quality images, more colors, less eye strain.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

People need to stop putting holograms in movies and TV shows that take place in the present day. This technology is not even close to being as advanced as it's usually presented in film, and when they start throwing holograms around all willy-nilly it's hard to believe the scene.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@Philip61729509 And this is not something that could be replaced with physical technology, screens, etc. The bulk of the problem cases are situations where the filmmakers replace a screen with a hologram just because they can.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@PicturesFoIder 20+40 is 60, set that aside.
7+8 is 15, I know that factually without having to count or add or anything.
So the answer ends with 5.
And the tens place is 60+10 which is 70.
So 75.

I am an accountant.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@PicturesFoIder "Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?"

They always say it like they think you've never ever heard it before and it's going to absolutely blow your mind.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

It bothers me on some deep level that if you picked one of the 9,000 days that I've lived, and showed me a video of all of my thoughts and experiences that day... for the vast majority of those days I wouldn't remember a second of it. It would be like watching a stranger.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@Pip9766 @chrisramzie I had to accept some things a long time ago. The things I really want to make, that I think are good for me to make, are not what my audience subscribed for. :P

Fortunately there are a few core audience members who have stuck around and leave comments to be nice :P

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

@Pip9766 Introducing Reflector Boy and Reflector Girl. Or should they be called The Reflections? That would kind of represent their origin story which is that they are reflecting me.

[Topplenaut @Topplenaut]

Yesterday I learned that my niece and nephew like to play Reflector Man. They brought me this pocket mirror, unfolded it part way and told me it was goggles. I said "Goggles?" They said "Yeah, like yours!"
