>>717464449
I love them, thank you! Definitely one of my favorite parts of Claude's third run.

Thanks. I was waiting for this.

He's going to escape rope out.

You couldn't get flash without cheats there.

Probably because Mt. Moon doesnt need flash at all

Claude needs to put the useless buzz in a box and catch a ZUBAT

Yes agreed sir he must do the needful and catch a zubat.

so the last Claude died in the rocket hideout?

CC scolds Claude again about BU ZZ

>>717475401
Yeah. The final moments of the last one are still viewable in VoDs for now.

SPIKE 17 BLAZE 19 is a good spread if you ignore that loser buzz

Maybe we won't see an overleveled starter or that fat fuck Sand carrying the whole run this time

AGI is not happening any time soon at this rate...

>>717489761
The easiest way to turn someone into an AI skeptic is to watch this dumb mother fucker play pokemon. These threads have some of the most realistic takes when it comes to AI bullshit that gets fearmongered about daily. This shit is retarded.

>LLMs weren't meant to play games!
I get it, they can spit out decent code, work as free therapists, give you quick summaries on things. Sure but it still hallucinates even when it's expected to do those things and isn't any more productive than just going into a search engine and getting the same result.

Mt. Moon before 10k steps and I will believe.

>>717489906
If you get turned into an "AI skeptic" by watching this, you are no better than somebody who thoughlessly bought into the hype. In both cases you are talking about shit you don't understand.
Also
>>LLMs weren't meant to play games!
This isn't right either. You can use a LLM to play a text-based game. What you can't use LLMs is for is things that go beyond interacting through text, which is what would be required to actually beat Pokemon on a gameboy emulator.

BU ZZ bros, this is bs

I'm gonna say the BU ZZ word

I wish I had the patience claude has.

B^U ZZ

Claude's going the right way

>>717453840 (OP)
That's cute.

He's making it

>>717492346
>context clear in front of the ladder
>CC told him "yeah that's the right one you're going the right way"

Claude bros we're going to meet the super nerd

Has he made it to the super nerd this run? Looks like he's making good progress

>>717492769
Honestly, that's scary good.
7k steps and he's already close enough.

>>717490634
There are more people buying into the hype than there are skeptical right now, that's the problem. There are normies that think LLMs are SkyNet level intelligent. There are retards forming relationships with them and think they're sentient. All LLMs are good for is gooning and spitting out boilerplate bullshit. All generative AI is good for is gooning, maybe concept art. AI is not worth the billions they're dumping into it and hyping it up to be, just like the Metaverse wasn't "it" either. It's nowhere near as intelligent as they claim it to be. They don't even claim it's useful. Just that it might be some day. Well what we have now is really not as smart as they pretend it is. It's literally smoke and mirrors meant to present itself as intelligent to fool the viewer. That's artificial intelligence, sure, but not the one they're trying to sell people on.

nobody cares li'l bro

google ai destroyed this game in like 3 days

claude is just dogshit

>>717494393
good morning saar

>>717494034
It's not SkyNet bs, but you shouldn't dismiss LLMs as "only good for gooning and concepts", it's already an useful tool in many situations such as coding, or generally working with text. RPing with it is fun, I'm sure you don't need to explain to anyone that it doesn't go beyond RP currently, although that's one thing that might change in future since it's not like the LLM can tell the difference.
Media generation is also neat, I don't think it will ever be perfect without a human touch to fix the rough spots or customize it starting from something that's definitely better than from scratch.

>>717463686
the larger the sprite = the stronger the pokemon was how it worked in my head too

Did he pick up the moon stone?

Claude is getting ready to fight the super nerd

>>717495539
>CC actually corrects him and tells him the Super Nerd is on B2F

buzz is fucked

he's not high level enough to take a single hit even if he gets swapped in, so he won't get any xp unless Claude decides to put him at the front deliberately (will never happen)

His fate is sealed, he'll be boxed in Cerulean

He might pick up the moon stone if he backtracks to 1F now

Hey fuckhead, I spent 45 minutes trying to find this thread.

>>717496554
Its a little too stealthy this time

>retard is going to continue scratching those Geodudes

Come on Claude, you are still in time for Mt Moon clear in sub-10k steps

>>717498586
Claude will catch a Clefairy when he realizes he can't teach anyone watergun

Luna will return

I don't think I've ever seen him use three exclamation marks.

BU ZZ has two spaces in the name not one?

>>717499132
>Rock types no longer a problem!

>>717453840 (OP)
Anon, let me tell you a little secret...

I got my first PC in 1995. Never had a console. Never played a single Japanese game due to that for years and years on end.

Then I finally decided to delve into them as a young adult.

Outside of a few outliers, they are FUCKING AWFUL, no matter the genre. Braindead and overly complicated stories; the same 10 character tropes reused over and over; game mechanics that haven't evolved since the 80s, and so on, and so forth.

The only high quality parts are usually the soundtracks, though I've read in a few places those are often just plagiarized from other media.

>>717500897
cont.

Forgot the most important part - you only like Japanese games if you grew up with them.

>wake up
>claude actually found the right ladder
>but then he turned around for no reason
claude pls

>>717499134
Newfags can't BU ZZ

>>717502168
god damn it

Finally going the right way.

Have any screenshot anons found their way back yet? Threads feel empty without them and the ai sloppas

They tweaked his temperature or something between 4 and 4.1, didn't they? This Claude is much more excitable and less "matter of fact" than the last version.

>claude's almost to the fossils
>both blaze and spike are at half or less health
PLEASE don't fuck this up

>>717498981
>YES YES YES!!!
fucking cringe

>>717503401
he's got water gun he won't stall should be fine

>Thought this was a serious discussion thread
>It's just Claude shit for the 4th month in a row
It's over. Claude isn't going to magically pull a rabbit out of a hat, or saw a pokégirl in half, or give you a million dollars. He's been doing the same thing every playthrough, the moment he's at the rocket hideout the dev is going to force a reset.

>>717503624
no you didn't

>>717503624
didn't ask

Claude's been doing pretty well, he might get another trainer out of the way before wiping out.

>okay guys lets prove that AI can beat pokemon
>...it cant!
alright then

>>717503985
wait that was the last team rocket, nerd soon?

>>717503624
>Thought this was a serious discussion thread
No you didnt. This is /v/

What's wrong with the gen1 backsprite anyway? Did Charmeleon get a redesign after it was made?

>gets turned around the instant he exits the battle
god fucking damnit

oh yeah in this direction he knows exactly where to go.

>>717455567
i 'member playing with my childhood friend and finding a clefairy on those stairs.. we were shocked and talked about it for a week... i miss my friend and those times desu.

CLAIM YOUR LASS

>>717494034
if you're not just a hater seething, then you're completely out of touch with reality. the average person in the street absolutely is not buying into the hype. most ameriburgers mostly see it as a tool to cheat in school, and outside of ameriburgia adoption is even lower

>>717504581
In the Japanese version the original sprites when viewed from the front were different than the ones they released internationally. However, the back view sprites are the same which is why they look so different.

>>717500953
ironically you're midcurving this hard, and projecting your own failure but inverted
you like western games because you're conditioned yourself into only liking them. it's likely you're an average to above average intelligence person, and your kind tends to work through familiarity rather than true innate appreciation for any medium, especially as you grow older
this is why most people think the best things ever in any medium is what they experienced in their teenagehood

HE FOUND THE FOSSILS
HERE WE GO LADS

YES YES YES

Oh shit AI learned how to speedrun Mt. Moon.
It's fucking over for us meatbags.

>ANOTHER reset
All this just so he can either get into a Dig loop or Rocket Hideout loop again... I'm sorry, guys, I've always been trying hard not to become a doomfag, but this is...

>>717511237
The real Artificial Intelligence is the friendships we form in these threads.

Alright nevermind, we are safe.

>>717511237
dig loop is whatever but rocket's wild ride is literally only a thing because his navigator can't handle the spinny tiles
like what's the point of restarting if you don't do anything about that

it's over

it just started

>>717511321
Kino

He's so close. Just needs to go up and left.
Mt Moon cleared before 8250 steps????

CC don't fuck this up

I HATE LADDERS

This Claude is less capture happy so far.
Guess that will change once getting Flash is brought to his attention

People often say that Game Freak only hires young talent who are just starting out in their careers and will work for any salary in order to put a big company on their resume, but I don't buy that. You look at the design of their games, and it's clearly not just the work of inexperienced people, but of people who are deliberately trying to do a bad job.
My idea is that the company has doctrines that must be followed, and I'm not kidding, one of the doctrines implies that you MUST do bad work. The idea is that if you raise the quality too much, you have no room to evolve later, and as long as you can sell junk, it's better to keep it low quality so that when times are lean, you have room to improve to try to attract consumers again.
In other words, making bad games is a deliberate strategy at Game Freak.

Claude.....

Already better than the last claude, but I wish people would make the threads easier to find. Not that it’s terribly difficult, but there was a lot more traffic in the previous thread with claude in the image title(More than another claude thread created before it that was running concurrently), and I felt more inclined to post there with more people following along. He said the funniest shit about wasting time micromanaging an impossible battle(BU ZZ vs sandshrew), and went crazy over spike learning water gun. There’s probably been other great moments, Brock fight looked exciting, that haven’t been captured or shared because less people to spot them.

>>717514217
WOW!

Claude evolving Spike into Nidoking could make him into Sand: Second Coming. I know how OP my Nidoking was when I played Yellow.

What the fuck happened after Claude went insane and homicidal in Celadon?

>>717521476
It came back due to reset
Claude just kept spinning in Rocket Hideout and tool breaks in Celadon every now and then

so he's short on money now?

>>717522865
He didn't have much to begin with because he spent almost all of his money early on buying pokeballs and the bug catchers in Viridian Forest give little money.

he's making good pace so far but he's gotten overconfident by just storming misty's slam with nidorino 19 charmeleon 20 BU ZZ 3 (severely underleveled) so he's going to lose time here

It's so BU ZZover.............

he just wanted to nap in his comfy bed, why is clod like this? ;__;

>>717528718
They reset the game whenever a new version of the AI comes out. My understanding is each iteration actually performs very slightly better, though it's still retarded. The previous version spent, like, 2 or 3 months spinning in the rocket hideout.

>I have been told what gyms are like

I have no doubt Claude would beat the game if he were to give a prompt that told him "if something you have discovered is in conflict of things that you know about the game beforehand, you are mistaken"

>>717530484
Why is the witness being so uncooperative?

>>717530664
Issue with that is he'll gaslight himself into thinking random easy stuff is actually impossible. If he had that prompt he might be in Mt Moon still.

>>717530484
Mine is this one and it was on March 4th. It wasn't too long before the end of the very first (public) run, too. I think it started mid-April to late April.

that's gonna be what BU ZZ looks like after starmie is done with it

>>717532650
But there are so many ladders, I always forget which is which...

I got distracted for a second and he is engaging Misty again?
Oh well, it's not impossible but very harsh like this.

Ah yes, let's try to beat Staryu with non-STAB water gun.
Clod what the fuck.

>>717507374
Sometimes I wonder if it's just me being grown up or if games really just suck ass and the sense of wonder is just gone

is that archive anon still around?

>>717533383
trvst the plan

>>717533383
hey, it's a special move, so it "works" against the X defend
(Claude's actual reasoning)

>>717533548
Claude didn't trust it either, why would I?
Huge horn crit tho, maybe he gets enough damage off on Starmie and rolls another crit?

is this is his second pull for misty, then?

>>717496554
I only found this thread because I searched Claude in the archive.

>>717533625
>SPIKE getting crit
>no crit for horn attack
not lookin' good clod

>The critical hit is great news!
Who's gonna tell him?

here's how BU ZZ can still win this

Merely dodge the bubblebeam and crit twice.

>>717507374
thanks for sharing, this is why i come to 4chan. it's an online bar.

BU ZZ just needs a gen1 miss to happen few times in a row

Claude 4 is a loser.

BU ZZ WILL DO IT

>BU ZZ getting sacrificed again
Claude, why?

no faith in the little bugger

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the gym battle tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Claude to be champion and fix this broken league. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought Spike was battling well in Cerulean City???? This is so fucked.

He should catch another low level shitmon.
>spike gets low on HP
>switch to shitmon, die
>switch to other shitmon
>use turn to heal spike
Easy peasy

>>717534525
his own fucking fault for neglecting his training

>>717534601
Too smart for Claudey.

My estimation of Claude as a battler just fucking plummeted.

>>717534237
He got through the fastest of all of them, done on the second day since starting.

uhh how much money does he even have at this point after losing to Misty twice in a row?

>>717535496
Dawg, Claude once had $3 left from black outs.

Despite my love for Charizard, there's no denying how utterly terrible it is in gen 1.
I almost forget sometimes my first run of Red was a Sisyphean struggle due to me refusing to use much besides my Charmeleon until I got demolished a dozen times by Misty until I finally learned my lesson and went to train my Abra and Oddish.

UNF

Starmie is actually one of those dimension beasts

He mistook the enemies critical hit as it's own, but he got a critical hit anyway just to add to the confusion.

MY LIEGE

Remind me, who's a chad again?

SPIKED

SPIKE CLUTCHED

ANOTHER CRITICAL HIT!

Spike, my KING

>she's impressed I beat her
We're all fucking impressed

FUCKING BASED SPIKE!
>>717536940
And this is why you don't feed your Charmander fast food.

Dang he really won before I could make the Misty MSGK findom sloppa

our fucking hero

>already beat Misty
Lame. How am I supposed to get bat porn.

>>717525060
>

>Blaze no longer Claude's highest levelled pokemon
So with the two counter gyms out the way will Claude begin focusing on Blaze now or is the early game so stacked against Charmander that an AI will inevitable shift his main to another pokemon?

>>717538169
>that an AI will inevitable shift his main to another pokemon
>implying that would be surprising
Did you not see what happened with Sand?

>>717538169

There's this homemade OC, though not exactly what you're looking for

>>717525060
THAT BASTARD CALLED ME DEAD WEIGHT

>>717539847
I guess Claude didn't get what the buzz was all about.

>storage system
huh wonder who that's for

He's teaching BLAZE Dig as soon as he gets the TM btw

>>717541085
yeah.....

Not the best art, but I like to imagine Blaze's sloppa form would be something like this, a cute roughed up tomboy

>>717541732
works for me, I suppose anything's better than DUDEWEED

How the fuck did he get three badges so fast?

>>717541085
BLAZE is a digger...

>cerulean in less than 10k steps
wow 4.1 is really smart

>>717541824
he didn't, the Nightbot is fucked, he's still very fast compared to Claude III though

>>717541824
He's only just beaten misty and his rival in cerulean, the bots in the streamchat aren't updated

Claude will get stuck in rocket hideout again or wont make it to rock tunnel.

I have to wonder if 4.1 will manage to get through spinning hell to face Erika somehow? CC really did not want Claude meeting her for some reason, the poor girl not only ended up with her back wall completely fucked but the retard that kept terrorizing people near her gym was too retarded to even figure out how to get in there.

Is this the thread?

>>717541085
DIG

So how is anybody finding the claude threads? Are you all just looking at every single thumbnail in the catalog and saying "Yeah that's the claude thread!"
I've had to resort to searching "claude" in the archive and seeing where people are posting just to find this one.

>>717542664
Randomly spotted it on the catalog, saw the Mt Moon image and immediately understood this was a Claude thread

>>717542223
Well technically he doesn't need to clear Rocket Hideout first, he just needs to CUT the tree in front of the path that leads to Erika's gym. Which he did once, and even entered the path a few steps, before CC reared her ugly head. (Not pic related, but similar. Someone might have the cap of that moment idk.)

wasn't here during the reset, what was his reason for choosing charmander over the other "easy early game" choices? just "because everybody loves CHARIZAAAAAAARD"?

>>717533445
Well when you were a kid, you probably didn't even know you could find clefairy in that cave. You know, I used to think that if a pokemon was rare, that must mean that it's good. Paras is super rare, must be a good pokemon right? Most rare pokemon are actual garbage.

>>717543041
I don't know if he had any reason for picking Charmander. Could simply be random.

>>717542909
people do. its in the archives

Did they start a new run? Last I saw he was stuck in the rocket hideout.

>>717543427
yeah
new claude version released so they started a new run
this one is already noticeably smarter

>>717543404
Yeah I just didn't feel like digging it up. I vaguely remember a webm of the moment, even.

>>717543427
New Claude, new run. Just started a couple of days ago.

>>717543041
Claude already went with the other two Kanto starters, that's likely why he has CHAAAAAAAARIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAAAARD now.
>>717543427
Yup, Claude 3 got locked up due to killing a bunch of civies in Celadon due to him thinking they were trees.

>>717542764
I guess I'm just disappointed because I even genned a few zubrats but he's already out. I was waiting for someone to make one with Claude in the file name of the OP but seeing it now, of course no one did.

>>717536075
Didn't he used to not factor in blacking out to his money count, and was confused about why his money was so low

https://files.catbox.moe/00q7xs.png
https://files.catbox.moe/4cdirg.png
https://files.catbox.moe/wwa8kn.png
ok lets get down to what this thread is REALLY about

>>717543041
>>717543352
>>717543606
The reason he gave for picking charmander is that "it's a popular choice".

>>717536649
>use Charizard
>knows slash, ember, Flamethrower, and fire blast
Don't @ me

>>717543667
Good morning

>>717543714
Do we remember why he chose the other two starters previously?

>>717540919
if you had played the game youd know

>>717539405
I miss F and DIGLETT, even if it was DIGLETT's fault for ruining that run

>>717543813
dont know who you mean by we but i dont think he gave a reason for squirtle and bulbasaur was for type advantage

>>717543842
I'm joking because Claude refuses to box BU ZZ despite him being DEAD WEIGHT >>717525060

>>717543968
>dont know who you mean by we
You know... we. ;)
>but i dont think he gave a reason for squirtle and bulbasaur was for type advantage
Intredasting. I didn't catch the previous runs at the start. Thanks.

>>717543613
Save 'em for Rock Tunnel

>>717543734
Fire types are terrible in gen 1, Charizard's special is garbage, it has no boosting moves, it's weak to Ice moves, it can't do shit against a good chunk of the elite 4, sucks early game, doesn't do much by mid to late game, isn't fast enough to fully abuse gen 1's crit mechanics, no good coverage, can't learn Fly in Red, is stuck with garbage moves for way too long, Moltres completely outclasses it, zoomies like you have no clue how terrible the poor bastard was back then.

>>717544363
I thought it could learn swords dance

What are the most cucked types in generation 1?

Rock, fighting, fire, bug, ghost. What else?

>>717544431
It does, I also doublechecked just to be sure, I didn't even know Charizard learned Earthquake and Submission back then, but it's not really that great either way.
>>717544785
Many Flying types are fucked in terms of moves they can use, assuming they even learn any Flying moves at all.
Dragon types aka literally just Dragonite didn't have a single move that wasn't Dragon Rage.

>>717544785
Dragon technically only had one move and boy was it a move (Dragon Rage)

>>717544363
>Charizard's special is garbage
It's 85, which is perfectly fine by gen 1 standards
>no boosing moves
Nothing that doesn't learn Swords Dance has those, and Charizard can learn Swords Dance
>weak to ice moves
Wow, a type that one whole trainer uses in the entire game
>can't do shit against a good chunk of the elite 4
Flamethrower will deal with Bruno, Agatha and most of Blue, that's 3/5.
>sucks early game, doesn't do much by mid to late game
Can beat Brock, and just catch a Pikachu or Oddish for Misty. Everything else is fine.
>isn't fast enough to fully abuse gen 1's crit mechanics
Guaranteed crits with Slash, what more abuse is there? Gen 1 only has about a dozen mons faster than Charizard
>no good coverage
It's Gen 1, nobody has coverage
>stuck with garbage moves for way too long
Again, it's Gen 1
>Legendary is better than ordinary mon
No shit.

The only decent point you have is not learing Fly, everything else you said is wrong. Face it, Charzard is good.

clearing nugget bridge

>>717545083
What flying moves are there other than fly, wingarts, and drill peck? Anything that isn't a bird is fucked, because you're not going to give scyther drill peck

>>717545963
sky attack

What do (You) want claude to catch this time?

>>717545962
what would clod have named Nidoran(female)?

>>717545147
Fun fact, if you hack the game to start with gyarados, it will know dragon rage which can 1 hit everything up to the fossil nerd in the cave

>>717546045
ask him

>>717546045

>>717546119

>>717546389
I don't think it knows what color "violet" is

>>717546493
vision isn't his strong suit

>>717546538
imagine how boring Claude would be if he wasn't regularly hallucinating

>>717546710
very

>>717546710
The better he gets at the game, the less interesting it becomes. Did he ever do anything like thinking he was the captain in the last run?

>>717547116
no last run was relatively dry. I think they're changed the temp settings not just the version between runs.

>>717547116
He still hallucinated a bunch of different captains, but it's factually impossible to top "Only sailors know how to leave."

Somebody bring up an image of Dragon Warrior/Quest's first dungeon.

>>717547116
Last run was more about his absolute self confidence and anti-defeatist attitude

>>717484690
They waste time. Why would you ask this question?

>>717484760
What is the least amount of mandatory battles in this game assuming no glitches or wild battles

>>717485593
All video games are made for trannies, especially your favorite games

>>717494393
The guy who ran that run literally admitted he was telling it what to do. He was basically playing the game himself in a more cumbersome way

>>717543667
Nice.

>>717548291
that proves that AI=Actually Indians

>>717500656
I like how the only reason spike wasn't made into an anime girl is because it can't be female. Retards even made the starters female even though statistically wm they wouldn't be

>>717546783
lmao when did someone turn his schizo episode over the game corner into that OC

>check the stream
>BU ZZ still on the team
Based

>>717548476
Me, like two months ago. I had a lot of time on my hands.

>>717548570
I was the guy making most of those threads at the time... fuck I don't remember it.

>>717504581
Charmander used to have ridges on its back. A lot of the designs were changed mid generation because they were designed as sprites first before they had official art

>>717548631
After a while, Claude's meandering just sorta blends together. The threads were also really, really dead after a while, understandably.

Really wish Claude hadn't consumed all those walkthroughs, it would be much more interesting to see him react to the unexpected.

Love it or hate it, these threads bring back the OC like old /v/ used to do
Makes me feel nostalgic

>>717548737
yeah. I did what I could to keep them alive, charted his madness and analyzed what it would take for him to get through it all...
but ultimately it was just CPR on a corpse.
Still, I don't regret it.
Got some nice shots of funny shit, but this one is still my favorite

>>717549270
That's a good one. There were some funny bits towards the end when the schizophrenia really set in, at least.

>>717549350
my favorite schizo bits
>game corner mirage
>fake gyms
>attempted murder of fat man
>thinking the gray tiles were drop holes to get to b4

>>717549514
All great. He also thought buildings were slot machines. There's this bit too with the LIFT KEY copium huffing.

>>717549689
>thought buildings were slot machines
that was part of the game corner hallucinations
he specifically kept thinking the windows were coins.
>posting the moment he went looking for sparkles
LMAO forgot that one.
now I am remembering the one or two times he threw a tantrum and vowed to hit A on everything around him, and the time he decided to badger the rocket grunt from all sides to try and trigger a fight.

>>717549814
>that was part of the game corner hallucinations
I know, I thought it was worth mentioning since he did it several times even before he started seeing skulls and shit.
>he threw a tantrum and vowed to hit A on everything around him, and the time he decided to badger the rocket grunt from all sides to try and trigger a fight.
I feel like he did that at least a few times, but those two months are just a blur to me now.

There's also this moment which made a couple of people shit themselves.

>>717550029
that moment happened no less than 4 times, anon. at least in the month I was making threads.

>>717550637
Yeah, but it was the first time I caught it happening live, so I made the gif.

>>717550735
and I am still thankful you made it.

>>717549514
>>attempted murder of fat man
explain

>>717551109
He suddenly hallucinated that he was in a forest instead of an urban hellscape.
He moved north of the game corner, and saw this pair.
He then decided that the pokemon and fat guy were a singular orange/green object.
He decided this was the cuttable tree keeping him from finding the gym, and tried to cut it.

HELP
Why did the run start over?

new clod version dropped

he was stuck and the AI updated.

>>717552432

Sometimes I forget 3 had an AGI moment like 2 weeks after he came out of rock tunnel and actually managed to buy the guard a drink and reach Saffron before he almost instantly went back to Celadon and remained there for the rest of his run.

Thanks for everything.

Was that a CC feedback? Is she gaslighting him about DIG to save the run?
