If you're new to Death Lab, this is actually a really hard game to describe, but it's uh you you're only limited by your imagination and the current theme. So, if you want to jump in, I I used an example earlier. Right now, the theme is household objects. Everyday appliances and household items come to life with one goal to destroy each other in brutal fashion. You can nominate whatever you can think of. There you go. Lit in Denver. If you want to nominate a keggerator, you absolutely can do that. And to do so, you type in exclamation point nom space and then a keggerator. And AI is going to go out there, generate an image of a kegarator, and add it to the list. And once we get three nominations, we'll then vote on who we want to see actually battling. There you go. AI generated that wonderful image of of a kegarator. That is exactly I mean that's just a kegarator there. Nice Irish luck. Death ceiling fans.

All right. And oh man, Sila, I'm so sorry that that that you you missed it. We do three dominations and now we're at the voting phase. So only two things can fight each other in this game and AI is going to make it very fun for us. So go ahead and vote exclamation point V1 uh for an evil spatula, exclamation point V2 for a kegarator or exclamation point V3 for death ceiling fans. So we've got 5 seconds left and it looks like it's going to be the kegarator versus death ceiling fans. Ready? [Music]

So, we've got the whirling dervish versus the brew master. The ultimate showdown of blades and bruise. And surprisingly, Linen Denver, your kegarator has a 75% chance to win. Uh, versus the death ceiling fans. Uh, here's the fun part. AI determined not only uh the chance to win, but also assigned each one of these combatants uh D&D attributes. So, you'll see the kegarator on the left has a 16 strength, a 12 dexterity. That's surprising for a kegarator. A 14 constitution. That makes sense. Uh an eight intelligence, a 10 wisdom, and a 15 charisma. I agree. That kegarator is gorgeous. For the death ceiling fans on the other side, uh, we have a 10 strength, a 14 dexterity, an eight constitution, a six intelligence. I don't know why the kegarator smarter than the ceiling fan. A 12 wisdom, and a four charisma. Yeah, that is an ugly looking ceiling fan. I'm going to come back here. Let's take a look at that evil spatula. Uh, you get to see other things I've nominated recently. Looks like Shira with a weird arm. You've got my most recent one, which was the evil spatula. I need to fix that so that way it doesn't show literally the most recent nomination because that's the one that's actually being visualized there. Uh I have an 18% win percentage. So, uh when I do actually get a successful nomination to a battle, I win 18% of the time. Not great. I've got five champions now in the last year, and for the entire system, I'm ranked first. Um where was I going? Oh, also while we're here, we have Lynn in Denver who's currently ranked 22nd in Death Lab. And Lynn, in the past year, I think this was maybe your first nomination, which is why you're ranked 22nd. So, you're you're tied for 22nd. And then finally, Irish Luck has a 50% win percentage, has one champion, and prior to this, it looks like nominated the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Uh, and is currently ranked 10th in Death Lab based on my weird calculations.
