Josh is not even trying anymore.

[|||||||||||]

I loved his early videos where he actually showcased some gamebreaking exploits. Like that legendary throne stealing operaton. However, any reasonable person capable of critical thinking understands that its just for show. He is actively using dev commands/mods/cheats to help produce those spectacular results for basically all of his videos. Doesnt matter what game it is. But it used to be so well made that part of your brain still wanted to belive that maybe he actually did it all by hand. And that maybe he actually spent stupid amount of hours doing something meaningless just to prove the point.

But not anymore it seems like. I mean in his recent hydroneer video, you can clearly see creative mode items avaliable at the shop. And you can clearly see indestructable creative mode filter on his pipe. And its especially cringy when he says "in case you wondering how i built all this vertivally - you can stand on pipes". Like wtf, just say it: im in creative mode so i can fly and dupe and grab things from the shops for free.

He is deliberately ignoring all farming quests, but then grabbing seeds from the token shop w/o any tokens, and a cropper on top of that. Really?

"When you know how the trick is done, its not magic anymore". Dunno who said that.

What do you think, did you like his recent vid?

Lol it's cause devs try to fix all the potentiall exploits that Josh would use in his videos.

That only means they are succeeding in doing that.

They slipped with the free drills bug tho and Josh almost immediately used that to his advantage.

Also he uses creative very often.
In his old vids too. It makes it easier to do these funny vids. He edits a lot of stuff and plays in specific way purely for entertainment purposes it's especially clear in some of his Raft videos.

I can't blame him i saw his farming stream when he was poking crop holes in South Hope .. geez i would not have patience to do that.

Free drills in creative mode, sensational. But at least he managed to squeeze out an exploit non the less, ill give him that. Soon to be fixed i guess, lol.

Yea he often uses creative mode and plays like he is not and does some wacky edits purely for entertainment.

If someone played the games he covered it's easy to spot if he used available creative tools to speed up some of his shenanigans or to make some of his edits possible.

And i dont blame him for that. But he used to hide it and leave you with a shadow of a doubt. Because technically it could all be done all legit. It just takes forever. So that was the hook, the magic. And i liked it.

Saw patch notes, dev's already got it fixed.

Um, DuH! you really think all those guys who put up 100+ hour gameplay video's without a creative mode? sure some might, but very few. Like Josh's famous tornado. you really though he did that without creative the iron alone is insanse

Kind of.

Look, I can understand him using the creative tools as it generally saves time on his part. It just for entertainment and when he does find a exploit, he does just helps the devs more

Pretty sure the Devs have already looked into it by now... but I just went by to mess with the starter drill/harvester store... and after grabbing one to put in the buy area, there are at least 3-4sets of feet and a big FPS drop in the area.

So we know those are respawning... and the vehicles are respawning... are the regular store items respawning into each other as well?

I've been getting weird performance issues the last few days... and I'm not sure if it is due to the size of my new expanded setup, the numerous items I'm storing in my mod crates, or if it is something else.

If it is the store items respawning after every save/load... well that adds up quickly.

He's clearly running a disinformation campaign aimed directly at entertaining people. But he's also the reason I'm randomly trying this game out again despite my old save not working anymore after one of his videos randomly popped up for me on autoplay.
