  1. I should also add that one of the more common causes of distress that the new audio affects is Misophonia.

    A strong reaction to specific sounds.
    Misophonia may cause a reaction to sounds such as dripping water, chewing, snapping gum or repetitive noises, such as pencil tapping.
    People with misophonia can become irritated, enraged or even panicked when they hear their trigger sounds.
    Treatment might involve therapy or lifestyle recommendations, such as using sound protection or creating "noise-free" zones within living spaces.


    Again, this is a barrier that can completely prevent people from being able to enjoy the game and the only real way to actually address this is to see about bringing back a replica of the Advanced Audio Options from 41.50, a modded example of which is here:
    https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2609849923

    As you can plainly see, this option is not actually that difficult to get working again and, having tested it myself, actually works. While there is likely to be a reason for the devs not enabling the advanced menu to do with updates of the audio engine and code around it, it is still perfectly functional and really baffles me that it was left disabled for this long.

    It is LITERALLY a single tiny piece of code and it works flawlwssly with the new system out of the box.

    Now, it could be that TIS plan to revamp the other end of their audio code in a way that would break this in the future, but until then, why disable this?

  2. Just popping in to say i genuinely wished i could refund this game earlier today, despite the fact that I utterly adore it in 99% of its design and gameplay. 

    The reason for this I will outline below, and hopefully you will be able to understand my reasoning and find it to be a valid grievance even if you yourself are not affected by this in the same way that I and many others demonstrably and irrefutably are. Please take this suggestion as seriously as possible, and please exercise basic human empathy and try to put yourself in my shoes before replying, as I am not making any huge demands, nor unreasonable suggestions.
     

    The audio updates have made it so I now get panic attacks while playing, which cause me to enter a state in which I have a vastly elevated heart rate and extremely painful sensitivity to sudden changes in noise or light, lasting between 1 to 6 hours in length, from the screamer violin chords that are louder than every other sound in the game and cannot be disabled or turned down. This is an inherent disability that I cannot just "turn off" or "fix" through exposure or medication. Believe me, i've tried. And I am not alone in having this kind of sensitivity, which importantly was not an issue at all back in 41.50+ before the Noiseworks update.

    The effect that noise alone has is independant of any actual feelings of fear or horror that the game portrays. I have been jumpscared by zombies before the update, with the chord off, so it is just as effective a horror game without it, and most importantly, natural organic jumpscares dictated by game design and immersion do not cause the same panic attacks or aversion and are way more effective at building and maintaining the psychological horror atmosphere. I actively enjoy playing the game with the orchestral stings removed, even feeling scared and apprehensive about every encounter, and to be quite honest the scare chords are nothing but a shortcut, a way to cheaply cause shock to a player, which for some of us is both immersion-breaking and extremely distressing to a degree that I wish you could experience at least once, just to be capable of fully understanding how utterly devastating it is.

    However, it is also important for me to clarify that I do not want to suggest you should remove the sound entirely. That would be a horrible suggestion, as there are clearly a huge majority of players who are either fine with it or actively enjoy the fact this chord exists in the game. It would be callous and rude of me to suggest that the majority of players should lose something that many of them find iconic about this game just for a small minority of people who are extremely sensitive to the noise. 

    Instead, what I am suggesting is a means to customise in volume or mute the scare chord, placed under the "Accessability" tab in the options menu. Take a page, perhaps, from Outer Wilds, which included a toggle option for "Reduced Frights" in the psychological horror themed DLC 'Echoes of the Eye'. I promise, it will not dilute or ruin the experience for those of us who choose to use it, and we will still be experiencing the same psychological, adrenaline-fuelled horror that you intended to portray.
     

    Please take a moment to think about this seriously, and please, don't simply dimiss this offhand with "just mod the game to remove it there's mods on the workshop that remove it/add the advanced audio menu back to the game". Because while both of those mods do fix it in the short term, it highlights a huge lack of care and responsability towards folk like me with "invisible" disabilities, disorders of the brain that are physical, inherent, strongly genetic, present from birth, and incurable, only mitigated to a finite degree by medications, therapies and avoidance towards certain situations. I genuinely love this game, and it breaks my heart that such an easily accomodated barrier to entry has been left in place untouched since the update dropped.
     

    I am certain that if you wanted to, you could have added an accessibility option to mute it in the vanilla game options by now with little to no worry about breaking the sound system, even if it did involve taking a small amount of time away from polishing other features to implement safely. Based upon the number of mods that address this specific issue without modifying the FMOD soundbank, it surely must have been possible to safely add this to vanilla for a while now, and yet it seems that the message never got through to TIS, or was ignored if it did, or some other complication as yet beyond my understanding has caused you to delay adding it which has not been mentioned in any blog posts or communication I was able to find. In fact, I choose to hope that this is in fact the case, and it's an issue that you do intend to fix as soon as reasonably possible.

    I dearly hope you understand that this isn't just a petty request and has some actual grounding in reality, and can understand that this is worth considering for the future.
     

    I'm still gonna stick around, and I still love this game in every other way, even if I can't play it at all without mods that bar me from a majority of multiplayer servers.


    I still hope that i will be able to get back into it one day, because it is a brilliantly designed game with so much love, care and attention to detail.
     

    I just... can't in good conscious play it or recommend it to anyone I know on the spectrum until there's some recognition for disabilities like this without forcing us to mod the game so it's actually playable without posing a serious hazard to both our mental and physical health. I hope you can understand.

    Thank you for being there for us. This game helped a lot of people find a little bit of joy in dark times, myself included.

  3. So I just found a house with 377 rolls of toilet paper. 

    To my dismay, i found out that when you place down TP, it will not stack, it will just clip into the next roll if you place them close enough. It also highlighted an issue where fine adjustments of small objects in place mode is interrupted by the player character turning to face the cursor, causing the camera to move, causing the *cursor* to move, making fine adjustments pretty hard.

    But that's not what this post is about, what this post is about is the toilet paper roll fortress of my dreams. 

    Just imagine it.

     

    Coronavirus-and-Toilet-Paper.jpg

    Beautiful, no? imagine a world where we can stack toilet paper. It will be glorious. I promise.

    So please.... let us stack.

  4. I think i recall this being addressed - there's so many new sounds and a new sound system, so thjey have to finish implementing and testing and fixing noiseworks before they can consider re-writing the advanced audio menu since they'd have to re-do it all from the ground up or something along those lines, i agree that it's a vital feature but it's probably not gonna be re-implemented anytime soon without a lot of pressure from the community and even then it may not be something that's possible to implement soon

  5. So I just started playing the new patch, and the Noiseworks has a LOT of awesome to it. I love the new sounds, especially those crispy deep menu button clicks. So satisfying. I could hit buttons all day long.

    However, when I got ingame I immediately felt something was a little off. Walked outside and it hit me after i'd walked around hearing noises for a bit.

    Y'all cranked the reverb up waaaaaay too high. The echo. The room wet mix. Whatever it's called in Noiseworks, it really does not feel right outdoors especially. It's..... okay, ish, indoors, so long as the room is wide open like a warehouse, but in a furnished room with carpets and all that jazz sound does NOT echo like that and it gives me actual migraines.

    Not sure if those settings are editable on the fly but those would be my number 1 target to give a slider in the audio options, as this is something that varies from person to person.  Hell, if we had access to the basic audio settings like wet mix, damping, reverb, stereo width, etc i feel like while many people wouldn't immediately use them most people know what bad reverb sounds like and could tweak them.

    Even if not, please consider toning it down a little, it's ridiculous outdoors, and turns the background wind noise into a white noise esque hiss that genuinely gives me a literal headache after less than 5 minutes.

    Speaking of toning it down, the jumpscare chord is a very divisive thing amongst zomboid players. I know y'all are very attached to it in the dev team but please make some concessions for those of us playing that either have weak hearts or simply find jumpscare chords to be the laziest form of horror shorthand ever devised. it's literally interchangeable with the Metal Gear Solid alert noise in function, and honestly it really is far too bombastic and over the top. 

    Please give us an option to mute the jumpscare chord and/or an option to change it to something more toned down like a zombie growl or literally a metal gear solid alert noise if you feel so inclined.

    Note that I don't feel it's something that needs to be removed, far from it, it's a horror trope that many people like and expect to find, it's just that there's a sizeable chunk of people out there that find it annoying or worse and they deserve to be given the option to do something about it.

    Anyway, that's my input on the new Noiseworks from a surface level, i'm gonna keep playing and see if any other issues pop up.

    All three of them are tiny mods, it's most likely a glitch/bug since sowing menue just got added in 41.51-2

    Even the tiniest mod can have a huge impact even if it doesn't sound or seem like it should impact a specific part of the game. I'm just saying that for some reason i'm having trouble replicating it vanilla whereas it was occuring basically 100% of the time before if I didn't make sure to use ESC to cancel before trying to say, left click on the next furrow or something.

    1st mod (combat text) gives hp bar over zombies
    2nd mod (food expiration Date and Bar) basically you know when the food will rot if you're a cook (you have a rot bar), you get a 2 point trait for that if you are a lumberjack, park ranger etc. who can only assume when will the food rot by smell

    3rd mod (minimal display bar) let's you know how bored, tired, depressed, hungry, thirsty etc. you are
    4th mod RED BEER's Zombie Retexture mod (gives more decayed and visible textures to zombies as times goes on in the world).
    That's all of them, well all of them that I use in current games that is.

    I have the first three, though i have a different implementation of the same idea for food expiry. However, it's likely they use similar implementations behind the scenes, so it's still worth me checking with minimal bars and combat text, then with food expiration alone, and see if the behaviour comes back for either configuration, at which point it should be clearer which mod might be messing with this assuming there's not a scattering of different mods that mess with it. I'll test at some point. If you get a chance before me, give it a go and see if disabling any specific mod consistently stops the issue occuring.

    "Certain corpses you find on the ground aren't actually dead and will trigger a wake up animation once the player gets close enough to them." - is intended behaviour for our beloved zeds. Duplication is not. I've been trying to reproduce this for a while now with no success :( Did you say you've had some mods enabled? Could you disble them for when you'll run your tests next, please?

    Yep, and i like the little fake dead ones quite a lot, they add a hair of uncertainty to encounters. 

    I've just done a retest of this and the other thread i had running with the farming menu getting stuck, and while i am starting to suspect mods for the farming menu thing (which i'm trying to figure out with the other person who chimed in), I have observed the duplicating zombie thing while doing my vanilla tests though it's either harder to trigger than i thought or dependant on luck and/or other unknown variables (lag, or framerate fluctuations/stuttering, or some other factor i'm not aware of yet.)

    The methodology i'm using to test is basing the difficulty on Builder, cranking the vehicle stories and spawns up to max, and making zombies have low population whilst also being slow, weak shamblers so i can run around bashing heads in with an overpowered character build and not worry about being swarmed or killed while i'm trying to brute force test this. 

     

    Which meant that corpses still spawned in stories but it wasn't overwhelming running across the map trying to find the ones that weer only *playing* dead. It took me about a dozen or so encounters with not-quite-dead bodies to actually get a duplication to occur, so it seems like it's not quite as simple as "kill them before the animation finishes". 

    I was using the classic spiked baseball bat at the time, since the starting kit option in the sandbox settings conveniently includes a bat and a hammer, and nails are a quick find.

    If I can get my screen recorder's 30 second replay mode to start working i'll try to catch a recording of it occuring in vanilla next time i get a chance.

    Oh yeah generators, but I think that rain barrels don't work I do remember right clicking on them and it gives me those options to wash myself, fill some bottles, but the sowing menue was still hanging on my cursor.

    Yes I have 4 mods that I use, but none of them cause errors and they are pretty small.

    Regardless of how lack of errors or size, what mods are they? I had a lot of mods running and having just done a vanilla test, at least twice I didn't seem able to get the behaviour to trigger which makes me think it might be one of the mods that alters the context menu or something, but knowing what mods someone else is running who gets the same issue will help narrow it down if we share certain mods.

    That or the bug is not as simple as expected, but it'll help knowing which mods *could* be involved in order to rule out possibilities.

    I see what you mean, the sowing menue won't dissapear so easily, recently I got a farm set up and after planting some seeds the sowing menue got stuck on my cursor, i tried pressing ESC and right clicking on sinks etc. but it was in vain, then suddenly it dissapeared, i tried to figure out what does remove the menue, but since i heard that b41.54 is coming soonish I quit. In the end I do remember that this bug gave me some trouble by annoying me.

    i figured out right clicking on wells worked to clear it as well as generator info, though wells are few and far between perhaps rain collection barrels will do?

    Out of curiousity did you have any mods enabled at the time?

  11. it is likely that there's a possibility you are experience the gambler's fallacy, a dissonance between "real" rng and "weighted" rng. Weighted RNG is what most people think of because game designers tend to design in a guarantee that you'll get what FEELS right from RNG, so if you fail a lot it'll compensate by making your odds actually better each time you fail.

    True random RNG doesn't give a toss about how improbable it is to, say,  fail a 99% to hit in games that feature it. Sometimes the random number generator just spits out failure after failure because that's simply the chaotic nature of random generation.

    I've gotten about what i expected from a 25% chance to break sinks. It's nota 3 in 4 guaruntee. It will almost never be 3 in 4 unless you do it a million times and take a look at the average from that large dataset. The previous RNG roll doesn't affect the next one, so every time you pick up a sink it rolls a 4 sided dice, one side of which is a failure, the other three which are not. Naturally, this means that you are more likely to succeed than to fail, but that doesn't necesarrily mean you *will* succeed.

     

    Now, I do think that it'd be nice to see it down to 15% or less like with carpentry, but that risk is part of the intent of the game developers. there is ALWAYS a chance it will break. You are *never* safe unless there is a 0% chance to break.

  12. So this is something i've only experienced twice, and may be inconsistent. I still need to test with mods disabled, and i'm not sure if stuttering issues may have some involvement.

    The bug:
    Certain corpses you find on the ground aren't actually dead and will trigger a wake up animation once the player gets close enough to them.
    In two cases, both laying in front of wrecked cars (vehicle stories) when I approached and quickly attacked and killed the zombie during that initial animation as it wakes up, the zombie duplicated itself. Both zombies i killed with a one hit KO using a spiked baseball bat.

    The first time, I killed it almost immediately after the scare chord and animation began since i was anticipating it waking up as it seemed suspicious. I then turned to walk away and check the car when a very brief stutter was followed by, in my periphery, the zombie began to move towards me. It had the exact same body, outfit and inventory contents including random loot (a bottle of vitamins), and had been perfectly aligned in position and pose, which lead me to conclude that it had duplicated.

    Fast forward a week or two. The second time (just now) I swung at one towards the end of that animation but before it began to crawl at me, and the same duplication occurred, except this time the fresh duplicate had a completely empty inventory. Otherwise the sequence of events and result were identical.

    I have yet to exhaustively test this or to test without mods, and I haven't encountered many fakeout zombie corpses that i had time to hit before their wakeup animation had already finished. After the animation finishes i'm pretty sure the zombie doesn't duplicate.

    I'd appreciate someone testing this in vanilla as well since i'll not get a chance to test without mods for some time. Since these spawn as part of vehicle stories afaik, best method to find them would be a custom sandbox with stories on very common or better. I did have zombies set as slow weak shamblers in both instances which may be important if one hit killing them is part of the cause.

    Hmm.. works over here :( could you record and share a video at all? Also, can you share your PC specs (so we can see if that has got anything to do with this issue)

    I'll record this once i get a free chance, probably after the current playthrough i have going on. I'll update this thread once i get around to it, assuming i remember (which it'll be hard to forget during a playthrough where i'm farming!)

    i think that need a separate menu only for cooking, And itens like have counts liKe salt or sugar come back Again to Your Places, NOt Keep in YOur "HandS"

    I would agree there. Often things like spices, bowls, refridgerated foods, tools etc getting slurped into your inventory can be a bit annoying when you have to manually sort it all back where it's supposed to go. Not sure how feasable it'd be but having items return to the shelf they came from after taking however much is needed for a recipe would be a great QOL improvement in my eyes.

  15. TL;DR summary:
    • Add/modify the random ingredient function to prioritise selecting unique ingredients  (the current random one feels like playing russian roulette)
    • Add a one-click button that adds unique ingredients until nothing more can be added to a recipe (to fix RSI/frustration/busywork)
    • Prevent ingredients, especially spices, from showing more than one entry in the cooking menu to ease eyestrain and RSI from scrolling

     

    Full proposal:
    I wish to fix the issues explained in the next section, to make cooking less boring and mishap prone and more accessible for disabled gamers.

    1. Modify the random ingredient button or add a new button which selects a random unique ingredient that is NOT already in the recipe;
    2. Add a button to add random unique ingredients one at a time until the recipe can no longer have ingredients added.
      This should include spices, herbs, et cetera instead of being limited to just vegetables or just meats or just spices. The goal is to have a one-click solution that assembles a unique meal with as much as can be crammed into it as possible with unique ingredients.
    3. Modify the cooking menu to show one and only one of each unique/identical/stackable ingredient. It serves literally no purpose to have 30 identical Small Bird Meat options to choose when you can't see each ones' nutritional value, even if they have variation. The same goes for salt and pepper, which you can only add ONCE and yet shows every unit of spice in range, cluttering the menu to the point of near unusability. 


    Justification for these changes:
    There's a few suggestions from the last few years that agree with my own feelings that cooking meals is sluggish, repetitive and frustrating when you have a lot of ingredients and just want to slap together meals. The "add random <ingredient type>" button is nice to have but it has one glaring, unforgiveable flaw: It randomly chooses items rather than choosing random unique ingredients. It works exactly as it says it does, and that's not necessarily a good thing. After all, the pitfall of seeking true randomness is often something in game design that conversely leads to player frustration. 

     

    What this means is that if you just hit the random button you will often end up with multiples of the same ingredient, which can lead to a meal with worse stats or unhappiness than if you manually add to the meal. This is, arguably, an unintentionally hostile design choice that has made the random button something I never even use anymore because it's just too unpredictable and can screw up a meal. Though at least it doesn't randomly add bleach if it's nearby, so it's not all doom and gloom.

    This is compounded by how frustrating it is having to scroll through that tiny eyestraining list on the craft menu past 30 cabbages, 50 salt/peppers, etc etc etc for every single ingredient unless you micromanage your food storage by having two fridges and ferry stuff from one to the other in small amounts. It's busywork that adds nothing to the game but frustration and makes it feel like a complete waste of time.

     

    unknown.png:sad:

    Currently, making more than one meal at once is not just busywork but a janky and gimmicky process that gets old very fast. Having the option to carefully select every ingredient to your liking for roleplay purposes is great and I do like how much better this system is than the right click menu, but when you have 100 random foraged berries and a cupboard full of bowls making these meals becomes an eyestraining, rsi inducing nightmare. Cooking simply does not scale beyond single meal preparations, and single meals often cannot sustain a character with the limited nutritional content available.

    The experience is worsened tenfold if you have mods that add more than a dozen new ingredients and/or run Zomboid off a hard drive rather than a SSD like I do, as between each and every ingredient the game freezes for a split second as it refreshes the list of available ingredients to add. While that factor is unique to mods and out of the control of IndieStone, you do have the power to nullify it as a side effect of the changes i'm proposing if you find this idea worth trying out.


    A related post, and final thoughts:

    Since this post seems to have been languishing since early 2020 I felt i should point to it as it is a suggestion that is tangentally related to mine with the same motive which I agree with wholeheartedly, just in case it slipped under the radar. 

    I invite input and discussion on the suggestions i've made above from anyone who has an opinion on the subject. I can see some grey areas, points for confusion, and I am not convinced that i've explained this well. There could be flaws in my reasoning I can't see without perspective from the community as a whole, and discussion will help hone and shape the suggestion into something more persuasive and positive, or reveal that the status quo is better left as is.

    Do you think the system is fine as it is and needs no change? If so, could you explain your thought process? Every opinion is valid! 


    Do you feel like my suggestions above are not feasable, realistic or would detriment the experience? I'd love to hear from you ♥


    Do you agree with some of my reasoning but see flaws in other areas? Please do bring it up!

    Do you simply agree? Say so, or leave a reaction to let the devs know this is an issue, and that i'm not insane! I'm not insane, right?? :unsure:


    Are you reading this in 2030 and wanted to chime in? Leave a comment! it certainly can't hurt, can it?

    Does it go away if you reboot the game? Does this happen with only some seeds or all of them? Which tool do you use for farming / watering? When you tried disabling mods, did you start a new game or just continue on this same save? (can you tell that this is not that easy to reproduce at all ;) )

    No, All of them, and watering can, npk fertilizer, compost, and i did start a new game to test without mods.

  17. I have managed to find a right click interaction that resets the tooltip; Opening the generator info for any grid connected generator will get rid of the popup as the generator info box seems to override the sticky tooltip. I'm not sure what else will reset the text but i'm sure that there are other item interactions that will work. 

    Also, this occurs when harvesting plants as well. It's very annoying but now at least i know there's a way to get rid of it.

  18. unknown.png

     

    Both the watering and the seed sowing farm tooltips get stuck in the invalid red "not a furrow" / "not a plant" state once you haven't got enough seed or water in the container to continue using the tool. The only way I have found to get rid of this annoying tooltip is to find more seeds or more water and a waterable plant and right clicking once the tooltip has turned green.

    This means that if I don't have seeds or a waterable plant i'm unable to remove this floating message. At all.

    I've tried right clicking on furrows, plants, the ground, using other tools, foraging, you name it, i've tried it. So far unless i've missed something it's not helped. Escape does not help either. I don't know how else to be rid of this thing. Please check to see if there's an error in the code for it that prevents the universal cancel function (ESC) from turning said tooltip off.

    While I do have some mods, none of them affect farming or the added scripts that relate to this new toggleable farming interface.
    This still occurs with mods disabled.

  19. This one is a bit hard to explain. 
    So let's say you have a small room like this and you want to build shelving like so.

    spacer.png

     

    If you place shelf 2 first, you will be unable to place shelf 1, as for some reason that tile will become invalid for placing shelf 1. 
    However, you can place them in the order 1->2. This is somewhat annoying as if your carpentry skill isn't high you have a good chance of breaking them if you try to pick up the shelves to place them in the "correct" order.

    In addition to this, in this specific case here, there is also a third pitfall - these shelves should *always* render in the foreground when one tile high containers are placed in the same tile, e.g. the ice cooler, but for some reason if you place the shelves first, the lower shelf will render in a very glitchy way where parts of the shelf display in the foreground and other parts in the background. This visual glitch is not simply the shelves displaying behind the cooler, but a inconsistent and unintuitive and jarring glitch that resembles z-fighting except without jitter. 

    In order to place the three marked items above, due to the wonky hitbox of the large fridge, I had to follow these steps to avoid glitchiness and to be capable of placing all three tiles:
    1. Pick up double fridge (as shelf 2 cannot be placed in many cases as the pathing system fails to realise you are close enough to build it).
    2. Place ice cooler (forces it to be displayed in the background).
    3. Place shelf #1
    4. Place shelf #2
    5. Re-place double fridge.

    This is a wholly unintuitive method that many players would just give up on before even trying, and if they place the ice chest after the shelves then it causes a ugly, permanent visual glitch that breaks immersion. This probably isn't a high priority set of bugs but they are worth looking into.

    Possible methods to address these problems:
    1. To address step 1, the hitbox of the large fridge and/or ice chest OR the acceptable build distance for shelves should be modified to allow a shelf to be built in a corner when a large fridge and cooler are present;
    2. Shelf placement restrictions should be checked to see what is causing them to be blocked when built in one order but not the other;
    3. Shelves should be set to always display in foreground when items 1 tile or less in height are placed underneath them and tested to check visual glitch is fixed.

    Keep up the great work, despite these glitches i'm still loving this game.

    I got 1 entire set plus all of the books above (A total of 32 books!!) when I looted a total of 8 containers in the Farming & Rural Supply shop in the unnamed rural town in the centre of the map. The sandbox settings I was running had literature set to "extremely rare".


    This may be due to the extra weight books seem to have as a result of having so many entries in the roll table in ProceduralDefinitions.lua - it seems like theres an inordinately high number of books that seem to spawn compared to literally any other item in the tables relating to gardening or farming supplies.

    At least 3 books spawned per container including duplicates and in two of those containers there was a full set. This seems at odds with the spirit of setting literature to extremely rare - i have out of curiousity restarted six times with new games spawning in that town and every single time I got at least 2 full sets of the Farming skill books from this one single shop.

    Note that I am using a mod that only changes the display name of the books - it does not affect the distributions at all and this loot distribution is vanilla.

  21. Expected behaviour: Emptying a gravel bag should yield 1 empty sack once the bag has been fully emptied.
    Actual behaviour: For each unit of gravel emptied you gain 1 empty sack. This leads to one full gravel bag yielding 5 empty sacks total.

    None of the mods I have affect gravel bags as far as I know. This still needs to be checked on a vanilla profile to rule out weird mod behaviour.
    Video proof:
