King Crimson is simple, as it just lags the real world for everyone but its Stand Master.

This, so much. Epic memes and poorly translated explanations aside, I have no idea how people STILL don't know how KC works. You walk down the street, with 10 paving-stones on the sidewalk in front of you. KC activates as you tread on stone 1, then concludes once you reach stone 10, erasing all the time between those points. Therefore, to your perception, you step onto paving stone 1 and arrive at stone 10. Just like how The Hand erases space, snapping two previously distant points together, KC does the same with time.

"The Hand but for time" is such a simple, elegant way to describe King Crimson. I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen the comparison.

King Crimson is the episode "Time Keeps on Slippin'" from Futurama. Alternatively it is the "Next Scene" button on your DVD/Blu Ray Remote.

My questions with King Crimson start with the fact that Diavolo can move and act in the erased time, in that case how is it different from The World?

Stuff is still moving around and it doesn't last as long. He also can't interact with anything during the erased time.

Surprises Narancia and throws him or w/e (King Crimson is incredibly physically strong) and then skips time to when he's dead

He's the only one aware of things while King Crimson is activated, that's how.

Because even though the events DURING his ability are erased, the positions people and objects are in AFTER the ability concludes are kept. I'll refer to the beginning of the ability as KCA and the end as KCB. So he activates KCA, throws Narancia toward the fence within the duration of his ability, then triggers KCB at the last second before Narancia hits the fence. This is why Araki's translated explanation is bad, because it doesn't nullify cause and effect in a linear sense, where an interrupted action has no consequence indefinitely, it only erases the "middle part" of the action, leaving the result intact. A simple way to think about it is that King Crimson erases Causes, not Effects. So when KCB is triggered, to Narancia's perception, he takes a step and then teleports mere inches away from a fence, where he is impaled before he can react. (Also please correct me if this isn't exactly how it happens, this is just a demonstration of how it works, I completely forget the specifics of the narancia/diavolo fight

I also want to point out that Diavolo has a sub-stand similar to Bites the Dust called Epitaph, that allows him to see 10 seconds into the future. KC would be a lot harder to use without it.

To be honest, even with a good translation, the time/space-warping stands' illustration is really hard to parse unless you're reading a full-colour issue.

Oof, that's a bummer. On some degrees I'm not surprised (previous mentions of the podcast sucking a lot of his energy) - on others, he generally comes off as the most upbeat / positive of the crew. Hope the break helps him.

I guess they'll be pulling in guests on any podcast weeks where someone's gotta be absent? Two person cast seems like it'd be awkward for their dynamic.

Reading this with the voice in your skull.
Honestly I'm surprised something like this didn't happen sooner. They've been putting out content twice daily for how many years? Gotta take a break eventually.

I just hope this isn't the beginning of a downward spiral for the channel and that the other guys can keep it all going. Also wondering what the "format changes" are going to be (please don't let them go to 10-minute videos like some other LPers do). I know YouTube keeps loving with their algorithm.

Either way, good luck Matt.

I hope the format change involves something like a video editor so the boys can focus on content creation.

This doesn't seem too sudden imo, Matt has been ramping up the self-deprecation jokes lately.

I really, really hope it's not this. Ten minute LP videos are like...bad. They have no time to actually build up to anything and they make LPs take even longer then they already do.

As someone who consumed a lot of Yogscast content once upon a time, 10 minute videos are okay if you got other things to do but I much appreciate the longer length the SBF do. Also they're not grating manchildren like 90% of the Yogscast so that's pretty swell! The SBF are way more fun to watch.

Best of luck to Matt!

Considering that Matt said the format changes were to provide more variety of content, I highly doubt they are going to move over to 10-minute videos and make every lp have the length of 7 lps. What's more likely is something like a stricter streaming schedule or more videos of them watching bad anime movies from the 80's.

Also I'm glad Matt's taking a break because he's talked about not liking every aspect of the channel all the time and it'll probably be good for him to get away from it.
