Horizon Forbidden West - 3 

This video in which Old Man Jingles rants and raves about everything that pops into his mind, and sometimes plays a video game while doing so 😂

Game: It would be a good idea to SCAN with the focus. Jingles: Starts blasting away with the SEARCH... Also: use the damn aiming function!!! That slows down time for a short duration, making aiming easier.

That Roman road didn't have millions of tons of traffic. We could build road surfaces that last longer, but your tires wouldn't.

It's so much fun watching this again trough someone else's fresh eyes, but you're killing me man... The prompts are RIGHT THERE.... :D

Recently I found a card board box that I've been hauling between houses nearly all my adult life now. There were three still amazingly good looking Matchbox cars in, the ones that I never too to the sand box or allow my kid brother to get his hands on. A Lancia Stratos in rally colours, a Jaguar E-type (the one with the long nose and spoked wheels) and a Mercedes 300 SL (one with gull wing doors. The windshields and interior were all made out of plastic though, as were the wheels. Never could stomach to throw them away. Now they are in a cabinet next to a die cast Spitfire model. They were built to last at least a lifetime. As do all the plastic Lego bricks I've got laying around in a pillow sleeve somewhere. Hopefully someday a grandchild - should that be forthcoming - will have a s much fun building with it as I did. And then computer games arrived. It's so funny that I love to play a few golden oldies that are still available (and remastered) on Steam every now and then. Command & Conquer Red Alert, Age of Empires... From the time when monetization came from selling the CD-ROMs and you could have nights on end of fun playing with your mates during LAN-parties or via an slower than light internet connection that took ages to connect. Nostalgia is fun, isn't it?

i had one of those metal tonka trucks as a kid and i always took it to the beach and after years and years the salt rusted thru the bed of the truck but by that time i grew out of it anyway.

A steel structure like that might last for a thousand years in a dry desert climate but in a jungle like this. I give it 150 to 200 years tops. It'll be a pile of rust after that. BTW there is an abandoned convoy of vehicles form the WWII in one of the hottest regions in Africa. and it's in a canyon or a ravine where a sandy wind can't blow. So those vehicle look like the day they were abandoned. Like, zero degradation.

Klingon also exists. You haven't heard Shakespeare until you hear it in the original klingon

Tonka Toys was a Minnesota company, where I live, and I played with them all my growing up years. I bought my house 30 years ago, and part of the purchase was an old sandbox in the back yard. In that sand I found a couple of old Tonka trucks, somewhat weathered but still useable. They're still around today.

When I was a younger lad I had a Tonka dump truck. My brothers also had them and we would sit in them and race them backwards. They survived very well all the abuse they suffered.

as someone with a Ph.D. in biocorrosive processes, to answer would that tower still be viable after 1,000 years with no maintenance and up keep? Short answer - No. Long answer - Nooooooooooo. Also I did predict that if the materials held then so should the cables enough that they tower's minimalist construction is coming down with it. She should have just used explosives. LOL

Jingles: if you go into settings, you can turn on the Focus highlighting for climbing to be always on.

20:08 Hahahahahahaha! I had a Tonka JCB style tractor with a working front bucket, and also a working (ok, worked by a hand lever) back acter, sand pits never stood a chance in the 70's! 🤣

Ted Faro is one of those characters that you wish you could resurrect just so you could kill him again.

sometimes it's almost painful to watch u struggle in trying to find the obvious way, but I think that's one of the reason I like to watch you.

Actually Jingles, look up finnish language. Practically everything is pronounced the way it is written. No silent letters. No shenanigans, just pure efficiency

To be fair Roman cement was literally made to repair itself. They finally figured out the lost recipe of how to make it. And I remember the Steel Tonka and Dinky toys. We pass them down between our relatives.

@08:00 'All Languages are like that.' German: 'What am I? Chopped liver?'

Jingles, in regard to the pronunciation of the word zenith, I think that the difference has to do with how the leZ is pronounced in American English vs. Briths & Commonwealth English. In the US the letter Z is pronounced as zee whereas in the Commonwealth it's typically pronounced zed. So it's natural for a speaker of American English to pronounce words like zenith and zebra starting with a zee sound. But for speakers of British or Commonwealth English zehnith an zehbra is more natural.

Tonka toys were unbreakable, according to the ads.....Yeah right, as a 5 year old in the late 70s I destroyed mine with a hammer after I'd seen (Or so my late father said) a Blue Peter episode on how metal was recycled and there was a crusher. so 5 year old me + Hammer = Crusher......Sadly I also destroyed a 1960s Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 toy car, with ejector seat...my Dad wasn't so happy about that. :-D

Even in the early 2000s Tonka trucks were my favorite for playing outside as a kid, snow was my favorite because of them. I eventually outgrew them and they were donated long ago.

A real Aloy uses a controller, even on a PC. Love your commentary Jingles 😂😂😂

I'm also a fan of Tonka trucks Mighty Jingles still have an old dump truck myself in the backyard with nice bateena on it.... and back in the day that's how i got around before I could walk these days i also have a shiny new Tonka crane in my room! and yeah while my plastic transfomers will break if I'm ruugh with em; my Tonka trucks will last far longer than I ever will.

17:55 Actually Jingles the Romans cheated, well a little. Their concrete was a different mix to our modern stuff and is capable of limited 'healing'. Not entirely sure how it works exactly, but given enough time, small cracks actually disappear in Roman concrete, whereas in modern concrete cracks can only grow until eventually it fails. Naturally scientists and engineers are very interested in how exactly this process works. All joking aside, your point is perfectly valid: the Ancients did over engineer things, whereas we with our modern knowledge of materials, engineer things to the bare minimums. Of course it should be noted that many things were build quick and easy in the past too, it's just after a couple of thousand years very little remains to remind us of that. It's not uncommon for Iron Age Roundhouse sites to have several 'generations' of roundhouses on one site, as new ones were built to replace the old.

Also, if those people of Far Zenith stole Gaia, so Aloy can use it to restore the world, that's trickle-down datanomics.

Look at Korean. The written language not only is consistently pronounced, the characters tell you how to pronounce it! The letters show you how to hold your mouth to make the sound.

You could travel at 4mph on the Roman road, and 180mph on the A69.

7:40 oh my god I just love this man. I'm preaching this since ever! The german language is full of words that are not spoken as they are written, english is way better but since the americans tried to make english cheaper to print its far from perfekt. Thank you Sir for playing Forbidden West, the kitty game is fun and all but a far shot from Stray, so it's great that you're playing one of the few good games the last years have given us :)

Rimmer knows some esperanto. Talking of climbing - when you get to the mountains you can choose any path that will get you there

Tonka is still around. When I was a kid (early 2000s) they were still making stuff. (My favorite toy was a tonka dump truck)

And this is why I like Jingles Lets Plays. You always learn nice tidbits along the way

Love your rambling, Love your sight on things, love this Series and your Lets Play, wouldnt mind more frequent uploads but you do how you seem fit :D Cant wait for the next part Best wishes from Germany

IMO Faro wiping Apollo to prevent mankind repeating the mistakes of the past was just his BS - he did it so that he wouldn't be remembered as the idiot who caused it all.

Classic Jingles video - come for the gameplay, stay for the unpredictable hilarious yet strangely fascinating random tangent.🤣🤣 This man is seriously a cat in human form...and I should have known that long before the game where he played *as* a cat.

My nephew has almost out grown some Tonka toys that I and his father played with as kids. Futurerama even made a joke about something being made of Tonka Tough steel.

In an odd note, if I remember my linguistics correctly. It is in fact the Americans who are closest to what would be Shakespearian pronunciation of English. I know. That hurt to type. The Yanks are speaking English as the English spoke it back then. Though..... look, I hate this language. How far its shifted in relatively speaking little time. How I can go back to some books, volumes, from the 16th century and I can read them. Add another fifty years and I can't. Never mind English being the language that beat up other languages for words, grammar and pronunciation for schitts unt giggles. Just because it could. You all know what I mean when I say kaput, yet I talk about boukra to some and no idea.

Hey Jingles, love your videos! Unfortunately I followed your advice and bought the original game, so I won't be watching this playthrough until I buy this game and finish it, but best of luck to you!

There is enough skill points in the game to unlock everything, and you kind of want to use everything :P Different tools for different enemies, especially when farming for rare components late game (equipment upgrades) , trying not to spend more on ammunition then you get from machine kills.

Let's just call this a bonus episode of Mingles With Jingles and part of the commentary references the video game playing in the background. ;)

As a non-native English speaker, British English speakers don't know how to use, read and pronounce word's in their own language and constantly make mistakes; and the American English system complicates this further as their spelling for some stuff differs and still sounds the same as the British english. Language is a living and breathing thing, its grows with time.

Little Tikes uses plastic and although that does not mean indestructible, they were built to last. Mine was gifted to me 28 years ago , somewhere around that and, it has obvious signs of wear, but it is still in one piece.

too hot to play games, yet I want to now. That pesky revolution, United States English was changed to be less English. I hate high places, all the climbing makes me sweat. OMG Jingles, the Scanner not the pulse. I dread when Jingles meets Eric.

Fun video as always! 😅 And thanks for your support of America English pronunciation 😂 You’re right I passed my die cast toys to my kids. Remember the metal erector set?

ha ! had Tonka Dump-Truck too,....unbreakable,...! used to let it ride our 30steps-stairs, just to enjoy the noise and see if it will break this ride....

10:30 ... What were we talking about again? Cats, Jingles. And how easily they are distracted. How the state of being distracted is important to the state of being and thus fundamental to well-being.

I think people have forgotten that the machines consumed the air and water too. The degradation of buildings wouldn’t started until Gaia restored those.

Point of note regarding what the romans built and what we build. Yes, many things the Romans built remain in tact to some extent today. However roads today get far more traffic than Roman roads ever got. We have roads with cars going along them constantly for a good chunk of the day, meanwhile how much heavy traffic did Roman roads have to deal with? Also how many slaves were used to build said roads, or to prop up the Roman economy? I wonder how much of London will still be there in 1000 years, I'd bet that without some major disaster or change in population the main aspects of the place would remain. But again, places in London get used far more than anything the Romans had to deal with.

one thing the devs never mentioned but is in the game is that every time you kill a machine they get a bit smarter and start to learn your tactics and it depends on the type of machine and how many times they get killed , like the burrowers because they are every where take more kills for them to learn but things that dont get killed as often learn faster

Follow the etymology jingles... American is the divergent language, therefore the exception and not the rule. Modern English to Middle English to Medieval English Medieval Latin to Arabic. And given no one knows the spoken phonetic structure of Latin, it kinda got absorbed into English, but as English is a Germanic language at its core, and British English is the route language of American English, the British version is the more correct of all pronunciations. Not that it matters too much

The die-cast toys were of course painted with lead paint, so licking it reduced your IQ by 10 points :-). It's worth noting that the perfect racing car makes it to one metre past the finish line then falls to bits, & the perfect toy therefore lasts until 1 minute after you grow out of it & then falls apart...

We recently found the true composition of self healing roman concrete. It would be worth implementing its use as soon as its made some assurance tests. As for languages, my sister is fluet in russian, latin and klingon lol. I keep thinking that the character Aloy is a play on alloy. It could make sense because shes a tough composite human with special propertys that was essentially made in a lab, and not of natural means.

07:55 - correct me if I'm wrong, but at least for Russian that's not true. Because the Russian written language (Cyrillic) was created by missionaries based on their spoken language and the words are actually pronounced exactly as they are written - or to be more precise, they are written exactly the way they are pronounced.

Arnold Judas Rimmer tried learning Esperanto for 8yrs by learning as he slept, but failed. Dave Lister on the other hand learnt the basics without trying.

Survivor bias: just because you see one surviving road, doesn't mean you don't see all the Roman roads that did not survive. Also, you really want to compare a road that has to take, at most, a cart pulled by oxen and one with cars and trucks burning down it at speeds no human could have come even close to back when the Romans made the roads hundreds of thousands of times a year? Tonka toys on the other hand was the perfect example. Last part was not a joke.

Mr Cholmodeley-Warner of Happisburgh says there's nothing wrong with English pronunciation.

I forgot how long the player is supposed to go in this game before the big twist is revealed. I think it'll be another dozen or so episodes at this rate. And that's just the start of the main storyline.

Regarding the length of time buildings might last: Much of the Fallout universe is described as roughly 200 years old. However, the degradation shown is more like 80 years. :)

i like how you're covering this game, your coverage of the first one has me wanting to play both. so, i'll stop by and upvote it but can't watch the spoilers.

Polish is consistently pronounced. We also do not have "silent" letters. What is written, then it is pronounced and always in same way. Foreigners have a problem with some 2 letter combinations that are pronounced as single phones (like sz, cz, rz, dz, dź, dż), but once you got it, you know how to deal with these.

All those skill points, wow. I've been steadily playing Kassandra in ACO (up to 1750 hours now) and still have not filled all the trees and sub skill sets. Needless to say she doesn't have to worry about bounty hunters anymore. Almost impossible to get her swarmed even in a large fort. HZDFW looks like it could last awhile.

I am so glad to see, a damn good stabin is still a thing. Enjoying the first day, in my 3 week vacation. So I can enjoy, the God like words of wisdom, from our almighty gnome overlord, first thing in the morning 😊❤❤

This series feels so... familiar. Then it hit me, this is Mars: War Logs.

Jingles, Korean writing system was designed by linguists and it is pronounced closely to the written characters specifically because King Sejong wanted to increase literacy

I find the expressions on non-African peoples' faces when they listen to someone speaking any of the Khoesan or Nguni languages, very amusing, because they are usually fascinated by the clicks in them. The Khoesan languages have 4 different clicking sounds, and the Nguni languages have 3, and watching the non-Africans trying to make those sounds afterwards makes me smile.

.28.30> Yes, Jingles. It means two out of three ain't bad.

I had a tunka dump truck that's still going after 36 years lol

Stuff is built to be replaced. Companies won't stay in business if their products last a long time.

The great pyramids copper parts are still reasonable and are at least 5000 years old

Man I love this series 😍

You mentioned about how long steel would last...I know it's not a great 1:1 comparison, but I remember seeing a report or a show that said a ship like USS Missouri, if you just left it, would last damn near a thousand years until it rusted away to nothing. I want to say Arizona's wreck will last a good 300.

Jingles on pronunciation referring to long vowel sounds when preceding a single consonant, but says "Minnow-tour" instead of Minotaur.

Re: Language Well, English is a poor example since it's a bit of a mongrel, and the fact that "close enough" works so often is, I'd argue, a strength of the language. The only written language I know of where it's about as clear as possible as to the pronunciation of words is Hangul (Korean). And language is more than pronunciation. It's syntax, it's context, vocabulary, etc. No language has perfect context-free grammar, else we would use it to program machines.

I've had Tonka toys back in the 60s, and you can, in fact, break them. All you need is a hammer.

I believe if u hold Left Shift whilst aiming it will slow time, which makes hitting weak spots a lot easier

Maybe in this universe everything is manufactured by Tonka hence it lasting. Also Mechano was really good at lasting (I've got a decade on you, young man ;). Can't believe that was the first exp point you get in the game. You'd be at level 5 at least in Cyberpunk by this point!

"Zenith" (as a word) comes from an Latin misunderstanding of Arabic, hence the writing. However, for pronunciation, I think the British one (ze-nit) is closer from the initial pronunciation than the American one (zeenith).

She needs to find The Jingles Programme.

Jingles, you forgot to mention the most popular artificial language: Klingon

Tagalog is also a synthetic language used to solve the issue of the Filipino native languages.

You have the conlang Ithkuil which is quite fascinating. Made to have zero ambiguity, which basically makes it impossible to speak.

If Gia is just software, wtf wasn’t it given away to everyone that wanted a copy? The bad guys are the ones who made it and didn’t give copies to everyone that wanted. This theft plot idea seems stupid unless It was hardware.

The reason steel and metal structures have stood for so long is lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. That’s my head cannon at least.

A friend once started learnign Loglan, a Logical Language - apparently designed to be impossible to be imprecise or misunderstood in. No idea if that concept turned out to be true or not, though - as I didn't try to learn it.

Actually Jingles, as a person that reads science articles frome time to time, I can tell you, that plastics are not as durable as one might expect. On the surface it deteriorates through UV radiation fairly quickly into micro plastics. In the ocean through a combination of UV radiation and physical forces (sand and waves) even faster. There may also plastic eating bacteria. As an Archaeologist I can tell you, the most durable materials are burned ceramics and glass. Under the right conditions, no oxygen even organic mater can survive surprisingly well for thousands of years. Special bronze alloys, astroid iron and gold are also extremely durable. Everything containg iron needs favorable conditions to survive. Sitting in the open especially in a humid climate is not going to last 1000 years.

Developers should pay you commission XD Took advantage of the £9.99 deal on Steam to get the original game.....just waiting for a chance to play it now

I noticed Aloy dosent have her sick hexagonal energy armour from the first game

Damn, so good to see other ppl knowing Esperanto was made by a polish persone

Happy yesterday Gnome Overlord. All the best.

a fiat monetary economy requires perpetual growth in order to keep it's function, sustainability isn't a mechanic that's maintainable which is why things aren't built to last. It also encourages abhorrent antisocial or dishonest behaviour... planned obsolescence in manufacturing is a business model

Esperanto was used in Bladerunner with Harrison Ford

The concept of a language where it was impossible/incredibly difficult to mislead someone was always a stumbling block for me. That would mean that the language itself would have to have to so many *more* words for different purposes or tenses, some of which would almost never be used therefore less likely to be found later, so potentially much harder to retain. English uses fewer words for more purposes so is more flexible, hell even the sentence structure is variable. I would also point out that in English the leading vowel tends to be short (but stressed) when the separated vowel is an I. Examples being panic, sanity, hectic, medic so zentih with a short E is still correct. The 'Muricans just messed it up :P

Hi Jingles. It's about a half hour to sunrise and the temperature is 73 degrees Fahrenheit. It's projected to be 104 degrees in 6 hours. This is going to be a rough day... How's the weather in your stretch of the woods? Please give the kitties their ration of treats and scritches for me. 🐈🐈‍⬛👑✌️🖖

Just want to chime inhere. We build things as *profitably* as possible. Not as *cheaply* as possible.

Language evolves naturally but we still have arguments over it, scone for example, IS pronounced like gone otherwise the joke doesnt work!

The point of the toys and goods only last for short time is that you have to buy it over nd over again. This is why those old companies went out of business. There is only so many people to sell to, so your product must be either addictive, or with a designed lifespan. Corporate thinking is evolving quicker then we can follow it.

Crappy plastic toys? Where does Lego fit into that idea?

I will surprise you Jingles, in hungarian, you read every letter on a unified way, aka every "sound" have their own letter. No misspronunciation, no misunderstanding. And the hungarian not even an engineered language. :-D

No matter how clear and simple a language is, language itself will always be open to misinterpretation. No matter what you say, or how clearly you say it, your words will be filtered through the beliefs, knowledge, and judgements of the listener. They may have a completely different idea of what those words mean, or what your intentions are, or they simply have a different understanding of the topic and paint it in their own personal biases. Language is so open to miscommunication, which is why I've always seen it as inefficient as a whole. People can argue with you or be upset with you over something you never even said. I would prefer true telepathy. This doesn't just mean your thoughts are sent to the other person, it also includes everything included with the words; your feelings, emotions, intentions, and your perspective on the matter. There is no miscommunication. Langauge will always seem primitive to me.

Love these videos Jingles!

not that I don't agree that things today are built just so they last until the warranty expires, but about that comparison of the old Roman road vs. modern highway, yes, it lasted 2k years, but with how much traffic? because I am pretty sure that the amount of cargo that is transported by trucks on a modern highway in a year is more that what was transported on that old Roman road in one hundred years...
