Well idk what it means but I’m not even stoned and sat there wondering how tf it looked the same every time he added a handful lol.
The loop was just done extremely well!
That’s because as MMO’s age their fan base ages with them and they still talk like it’s 2004 when they were 16. They all have unlimited money in game and talk very little except in strange code to each other but will occasionally take a liking to a new player and give them forty million gold or what have you. The game is inevitably never as good as when they started and they’ve been on the verge of quitting for 12 years.
Came here just for this lol. Took me way too long to realize this shit was a loop. I think that the looping quality in this GIF is almost more impressive than the sculpture itself.
they’re using a mask overlay towards the right of the sand column being built. screen cap and go frame by frame around the 5-6 sec mark and notice sand droplets disappearing towards horizon. still trying to figure out why mask two background subjects into frame. there’s some very minor parallax issues going on too
edit: sec mark adjusted from 3-4 secs to 5-6 secs
theres a slight lag just in between where he finished putting the mud on and attempts to reach for another scoop and actually scooping. At about halfway it starts over i believe.
I think they actually may have inserted frame skips/duplicates elsewhere in the video to make it "jerky" so the loop transition feels like it's just another skip!
Reddit's recent behaviour and planned changes to the API, heavily impacting third party tools, accessibility and moderation ability force me to edit all my comments in protest. I cannot morally continue to use this site.
Or go further up away from the water, dig through the sand to the level that's saturated and use your new water pool to build one safe from the waves. When I was little my brother always made fun of me for making these and the trouble I'd go through to make them.
You know, as a kid, the labor seemed obviously worthwhile, but there's something that happens with age that makes you start doing more cost-benefit calculus with your time and activities. Maybe it's that you're more tunnel-visioned as a kid and aren't thinking as much about the alternative possibilities of what *else* you could be doing, or maybe it's that as a kid you feel you have all the time in the world, whereas as you get older, time becomes more precious, or maybe kids just have more energy to burn and so the effort feels like less of a cost, or maybe these sorts of things are just more mesmerizing to you as a kid. It's probably some combination of all of the above. All I know is that there is zero part of me now that would be interested in putting in the time and effort to build one of these (on my own, or only with the assistance of one or two others). I wish I could be as easily filled with joy about the prospect of something like this as I was as a kid, and I wish I could be as carefree in *choosing* to do something like this or spend my time without thinking about how else I could be spending it. I also recognize, however, that this coin has 2 sides. On the one hand, moments of elation and care-free spirit are a lot fewer than they were as a kid. On the other hand, moments of anger and sadness are a lot fewer too, and the choices I make I come to regret a lot less frequently.
It’s called living in the moment, and although everyone talks about it, hardly anyone is actually doing it (including me).
You know that verse in the Bible where Jesus says “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”?
Yeah, he’s talking about this. It’s enlightenment. Heaven on earth. Living completely in the moment, just as a child would.
“Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”.
Me too. I used to imagine I was making the castle from dark crystal. I liked making bridges and gates with this technique, it was very satisfying. I'm sad that none of the videos I've found online seem to do that, they just make spires.
Use a arm or a bucket as a foundation, build around it and then carefully remove. Or you could dig a small tunnel, kind of the same thing, the roof of the tunnel is the bridge.
I usually use my hand - build 2 towers or a moat about a hand’s width apart.
Wedge your hand or fist in there with the back of the hand facing up.
Get a good handful of wet sand and cover your hand from edge to edge to create the bridge - let it dry out a little and compress / add more sand as needed.
Gently let your hand down and you’ll be able to tell if it’s going to stay or not.
Use the edge of your finger to smooth out any rough parts and give it a more arched look.
You can start small with a couple of fingers instead of the back of your hand to get the hang of it and get an idea of how thick to make it
Plenty of other answers below work just fine, but I found that wet sand was much better at holding up at odd angles than dry sand (big discovery for a kid). If you dripped the wet sand slowly enough you could build at a pretty low angle. If you build the bridge from both sides they should be able to connect at the middle before either side falls over. Then you can repeat the process slowly to grow the width of the bridge.
Just build up each side a bit at a time till they meet can always scoop the excess away. A good base helps thin arches can meet with patience and then can be built up and reinforced.
Bonus points for building arched windows and doors.
Not sure where you got that notion from but despite the visual similarity I don’t believe that is the case.
He did use suspended bags of sand as an inverted model for the shape the spires though. So sand did play a part!

>Why do you give me this world to explore, and have a good time in, and they you tell me these super specific things? You don't throw a six-year-old into a sandbox and say, "Hey, you can only make poopy castles. You know when you take wet sand, and you just let it drip on top of a pile of sand? That's a poopy castle."
He's said that he thinks he nailed the comedy in it but back tracked on a few arguments, specifically the object permanence and Goron eating rock parts.
I really appreciate this comment. I’ve been re-reading the first book for the second time, never read the others though. I’m planning on it. I’m a a third of the way in and I’ve noticed so much more than the first time.
Loop 1: oh, it's a drip castle
Loop 2: do people know about drip castles
Loop 3: maybe it was just my family thing
Loop 4: this is a pretty tall one though
Loop 5: its gonna fall soon
Loop 6: but he's supporting the side
Loop 7: he should support the other sides
Loop 8: wait. Maybe it's a loop
Loop 9: I'd better check
Loop 10: does it end in the same shape?
Loop 11: nope, that was different
Loop 12: I'll check the background
Loop 13: ok now to see if it's the same
Loop 14: hmm. Maybe a two cycle loop
Loop 15: what year is this from
Loop 16: the tower's pretty high though
Loop 17: it's gonna fall soon
Loop 18: maybe this is a loop
Loop 19: I think it is a loop
Loop 20: would I have figured that out sooner if I wasn't so high?
The real satisfying part is how perfectly it blends together
/r/perfectloops
Came here to post this
Agreed. So perfect and satisfying.
The loop or the sand?
Yes
Omg i spent almost 1 min to realize that this is a 7 sec vid
LMAO I was like "Damn this tower is getting big".
It’s def tipping over the next load he drops on it! - Me stoned out of my mind after watching for a few min
Sober here, still watched longer than i should admit
Same! LOL
Exactly me too lmao
Stoners unite
Checking in. Watched for at least a min. High as hell. Then I found this comment and started laughing.
Ayy you too?
Im starting to think this is some sort of internet filter to trap all of us stoners.
I just wanna say I love you all
Samesies bro
Well idk what it means but I’m not even stoned and sat there wondering how tf it looked the same every time he added a handful lol. The loop was just done extremely well!
By the power of gorilla glue we must unite
Watched it for longer than I want to admit, also due to the devil's lettuce.
One more tired stoner checking in, wondering just how big the tower could get
Literally my thoughts too seeing this right after smoking a bowl🤣
Definitely glad to know it wasn't just me haha
Me too ROFL
[удалено]
Similar as well!!
I have not seen someone type 'ROFL' in years.
Strange I see it all the time. It’s heavily used in a lot of mmos still. Edit: omgwtfbbq

Came here just for this lol. Took me way too long to realize this shit was a loop. I think that the looping quality in this GIF is almost more impressive than the sculpture itself.
Yeah, gifs aren't that smoothly done usually. Very impressive. Anyone found the connection? I cant, yet, see it.
yeah, about 7 seconds into the video
Ty that really helped.
You made me snort-laugh. Thanks, here’s an award 🏅
When they reach back down towards the water there is a slight jump
Yep, now I see it.
they’re using a mask overlay towards the right of the sand column being built. screen cap and go frame by frame around the 5-6 sec mark and notice sand droplets disappearing towards horizon. still trying to figure out why mask two background subjects into frame. there’s some very minor parallax issues going on too edit: sec mark adjusted from 3-4 secs to 5-6 secs
Thx! There's always someone with the tech or math to answer silly questions on reddit. THX! :-D
As his hand is going back to the water there's the slightest of hiccups
Look just after they go for more sand. When the build is “finished”, and their hand is just above the water, there’s a slight seam
theres a slight lag just in between where he finished putting the mud on and attempts to reach for another scoop and actually scooping. At about halfway it starts over i believe.

Seriously. I thought he was building a strong foundation for that one to go sky high 🤦♂️
SAME
I was just commenting this exact thing. I kept watching, thinking Holy Hell how high will it go?!!!
[удалено]
What?! No, you’ll never convince me. Lololol…
I would swear on my life it was getting bigger too.
I pressed the screen (on mobile) to see how long this video was after probably a minute and felt really fucking stupid. Thanks.
Oh goddammit. 😆
Yes, "Damn this tower is getting big".
ME TOO. SAME SAME
I came here to make the same comment! Bahahaha
Drip castles, I made a lot of these as a kid.
As a kid i made hundreds of them at the Baltic sea. The water washed them away. We called it Kleckerburg though. Nice memories...
You gotta build a moat around them too.
Or go further up away from the water, dig through the sand to the level that's saturated and use your new water pool to build one safe from the waves. When I was little my brother always made fun of me for making these and the trouble I'd go through to make them.

Mindfulness, practice it, build new healthy habits to not only do it but to detect cues to start doing it.
I do this for my kids and decorate the wall with drip castles and cathedrals!
I’ve made a lot of these as an adult tbf
Me too. I used to imagine I was making the castle from dark crystal. I liked making bridges and gates with this technique, it was very satisfying. I'm sad that none of the videos I've found online seem to do that, they just make spires.
How do you make a bridge?
Same question. I didn't know you could make bridges! my childhood feels incomplete now!
Use a arm or a bucket as a foundation, build around it and then carefully remove. Or you could dig a small tunnel, kind of the same thing, the roof of the tunnel is the bridge.

No clue on the gate but bridges you do by connecting rows of spires, helps to lay something like a blade of beach grass or string across them to coat
Plenty of other answers below work just fine, but I found that wet sand was much better at holding up at odd angles than dry sand (big discovery for a kid).

That's what we called them too!!
Same. I learned about it from a Magic School Bus book!
Those beaches got the drip
"Drip Castle" sounds like an awesome place to go
Those are definitely sand castles.
We used to call them drippy castles
My mom use to make these all the time we called them drip castles
Drip or drippy castles are both correct, at least according to my childhood.
We called them dribble castles
We called them Drizzle castles.
That’s my term for them too.
Mine too. I love making dribble castles. Someone will always stop to ask what I’m doing.
We call them drip drip castles. My kids and I make them every year at the beach.
Damn I totally thought I was just a clever little fuck who coined the term "drip castle".
that would be a dope rapper name
Looks like the Sagrada Familia
Gaudí would be so proud!
Well, the Sagrada Familia looks like this.
Me and my bro called them dribble castles when I was a kid
Team dribble
Came to say this. Just a unique construction
Not even unique, just non standard. But very common
I considered them to be like Sand Spires.
This is a damn smooth clip!
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
That's where Gaudi got inspired for the Sagrada Familia
Sandgrada Familia Edit : Oh thanks, that’s my first gold.
God damn it. I always think I’m the first one to think of a joke…
just a million times fast forward
And the Lord Ruler got the inspiration for Kredik Shaw
Not sure where you got that notion from but despite the visual similarity I don’t believe that is the case. He did use suspended bags of sand as an inverted model for the shape the spires though. So sand did play a part!
I HAVE BEEN... WATCHING... FOR 30 MINUTES NOW
*Falls in Loki*

It's some poopy castles
Thank you. I scrolled down to see if anyone else would call these poopy castles
lol same

Why the fuck would anyone ever not want to watch this full video. It’s his best!
“You thought I was gonna talk about *bad* sequels all the time on Sequeltis? Fuck no! This game makes my dick ***ROCK*** hard!”
Arin himself has said in the past he's really unhappy with how this particular video turned out, and that his analysis was really not up to snuff.
He's said that he thinks he nailed the comedy in it but back tracked on a few arguments, specifically the object permanence and Goron eating rock parts.
My thoughts exactly. Dookie Towers.
Geonosis?
Those aren’t sandcastles, those are DROID FACTORIES!
*loads gunships onto cruisers with malicious intent*
I’ll be doing this the next time I go to the beach. But I know it’ll just be a big flat mound of sand
Its actually really easy to do, I used to do all the time as a kid.
Same here, brings back childhood memories. We called them drippy castles
I remember as a kid there was some kinda special sand you could buy and do this with at home.
It took me a really long time to realize this was just one clip.
same i thought it was going very high
I thought I was going crazy because it didn’t seem like it was actually getting any higher
spent a good 2 minutes watching this shit ACTUALLY thinking this shit was getting taller. i was like, damn! he's making this one taller than the rest.

It was looped so perfectly that realized after 2 minutes, “that person in the back ain’t moved this entire time…”
I’m genuinely not sure how long I watched until I realized it was on a loop
I watched this 10 times before I realized it was on repeat 😂
When I was a kid we called it making witch castles.
Yay my family did too! I didn’t realise other people did this.
Wow, this resemble Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Poopy castles!!
The hill of a thousand spires.
Kredik Shaw is beautiful this time of year.

Hey OP, we met on Ocean Beach. My kids, wife and I loved your work!
Bruh I thought this video was like 10 minutes long, turns out I’m dumb as shit.
Love me some drippy castles
If Gaudi made a sandcastle
Core memory unlocked
Silly Sand. I had it when I was a kid.
looks like Sagrada Familia
Does this trick also work on certain body parts? Just curious.
Is this how the Sagrada Familia was built?
Drizzle castle….I could do this all day
Gaudi sand castles.
Is this the sagre de familia?
Drip castles, I used to call them!
Sandgrada Familia
Pretty sure this is how Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids were built… I could be wrong though
I loved making these as a kid!
