GGs Level 19: What Are You Making and Doing?

Host: Ninja Cat Live (@NinjaCatLive), with BubbaGump on the mic · Tue, Sep 15 2026 · 1:29:53 · 8 speakers

TL;DR

• BubbaGump opened the room by playing an original song he wrote for Code.E and Ava about how fast the good days go by [1:13], then explained it at [6:26].
• Stream updates: Dojo XP is live, plus the first two artifacts (verify-your-wallet binding artifact and a $50 NinjaCat holders artifact), with a holder/XP ticker across the bottom of the stream [15:43].
• NoCredits walked through the Tribe Called Rex launch and its hidden design trick — for each of the 100 skins, one Rex carries that skin's name in every trait slot [26:03]. Also the full 3D pipeline: Maya → Blender → Substance Painter → GLB → PlayCanvas viewer [22:45].
• The "what are you making" prompt pulled real answers: BeeCuzFuture's five patents and human-energy inventions [32:10], Code.E's log home and future Airbnb business [50:58], RobbAllen's 888-piece hand-drawn collection [1:10:14], Peanut's six-year project of "collecting friendships" [1:02:16].
• New Wednesday segment announced: pack-rip nights via an affiliate deal with Upshot, with the longer-term goal of custom community packs (Rob Allen cards, no credits cards, Cody/Ava cards) [1:17:47].
• Schedule: okay poodle on Wednesday's stream, DigiJoints on Friday [15:43] / [1:28:43].

Highlights

[1:13] The song. The Space opened with a full original track about backpacks by the kitchen door, dance on Thursday and rooms that get quiet. At [6:26] BubbaGump explained he wrote it around Code.E and Ava's current season of life, with his own kids folded in: "the bad times seem to last a lot longer than the good times" — then immediately refused to let the mood dip and asked Cody about his day.

[7:27] Girder beams and a gingerbread house. Code.E reported he's somehow a week ahead of schedule (and refused to jinz it), with a boom truck arriving to drop beams into the left and right gables before trusses go up. BubbaGump's read on the build so far: each step is just "more of a house, more of a house, more of a house" [8:12].

[15:43] Dojo XP and artifacts go live. Wander built out the XP system, and giveaways will increasingly weight toward points earned in-stream. NoCredits backed the direction at [18:16], saying he'd have loved his own giveaways to land with the people who show up every week — and BubbaGump was blunt about the target: someone running six accounts who doesn't even know they have an X isn't going to keep winning [19:52].

[20:58] "Sprouting leaves and growing flowers." NoCredits described the Tribe Called Rex launch landing better than expected — Discord, X and DMs all lit up — and the strange satisfaction of watching a vision he and Gary sketched three years ago get understood by other people. Every fresh reveal, he said, is another little explosion of excitement.

[23:17] Rob gets his Rex. RobbAllen, who'd just been quizzing NoCredits on rendering software (he works in SolidWorks and AutoCAD Inventor), thanked the room for the mods choosing him to receive one. BubbaGump's favorite part is that the team genuinely doesn't know who the mods will pick [23:38] — and Rob's only remaining request was a ninja cat hat.

[26:03] The zebra zebra zebra zebra thing. BubbaGump minted a Rex where every trait slot said "zebra" and realized how deep the design went. NoCredits explained it: one Rex per skin has the skin name in all trait slots, an idea that started from noticing a greenstone Rex looked like it had been carved whole out of greenstone. He also noted, gently, that Bubba figured this out slightly after trading one of his good ones to Ava [27:33]. Bubba stood by it — "I don't retract my statement. I don't regret it" — and Ava chipped in a "You're welcome."

[32:10] Five patents and the end of the disposable battery. BeeCuzFuture shared he's up to five patents across ten inventions and is working out a legal agreement for someone to handle their sale, including ways to generate power using people — "not in like a a horrible kind of way." BubbaGump, who had once researched this and concluded humans are too weak a power source to be worth harvesting, was reassured; BeeCuz clarified kinetic movement and thermal transfer won't run your house, but could kill the disposable battery market. When Bubba wished for a button to boost his own energy for an hour, BeeCuz identified the existing product [34:49].

[36:30] The million dollar idea. NoCredits' dad used to text him a new "million dollar idea" on a Tuesday morning; the eye-rolls were routine, but one of them — New Zealand-themed wrapping paper, sparked by a school trip to Japan — sold well for the better part of a decade until the distributor launched its own version. BubbaGump matched it with a friend's dad who invented concentrated washer fluid for auto shops and retired off it, landing on the actual lesson: he followed through.

[42:58] AI as the 60-year-old tradesman you can text at 2am. Code.E, building a log home with no log home experience, described Starlink Mini in the truck as a saving grace — and the running fight with AI over dimensions ("the post is in the center of the room because it's holding the beam that's 18 feet up"). His dad's friend, in his early 60s and full of tricks, now says "go ask your AI thing" when stumped. BubbaGump diagnosed a broken garage door the same way and found four inches of belt worn down to strings [45:38]. BeeCuz's practical tip: Claude handles geometry better than ChatGPT [47:28]. Rob's practical tip: "you're probably downgrading" [49:28].

[50:58] The business behind the build. With Ava's blessing (sort of), Code.E shared the long game: build the home, then start a tourism business with Airbnbs on the property — road already in, business name already bought. He'd discovered entrepreneur startup grants he didn't know existed, and framed the whole thing as a case for not over-leveraging, IRL or in a project. Rob added the counterweight at [53:51]: go talk to people who've actually run one. BubbaGump offered a piece of intel AI would never surface — his old Sevierville cabin managers listed everything as a two-bedroom or a six-bedroom because those rented best, and nobody complains when they arrive to find a third bedroom [58:13].

[1:02:16] Peanut is minting people. Asked what he's making, Peanut said he's been assembling an army — a deliberately diverse global network, six years in the works, built on connecting people to each other rather than collecting contacts. BubbaGump summarized this as an NFT collection of people, and the room did not recover: a 3D printer that can mint people, the crucial 721-vs-1155 question, whether they'd ship with accurate fingernails, and DNA samples harvested at meetups. Peanut's surrender: just make all his traits dirty and they'll have him nailed [1:06:28].

[1:17:47] Pack rip Wednesdays. A quiet lurker in the stream turned out to work for Upshot and made the intro — now Ninja Cat is an affiliate, doing pack rips a couple of Wednesdays a month on current-events trading cards (F1, FIFA, the Grammys), with community picks for what gets bought and what gets given away. The part BubbaGump is actually excited about is custom packs featuring community members. Peanut, already connected to that team, hinted at more coming on the timeline [1:21:42].

Who said what

• BubbaGump (@BubbaGumpNCX^* — host for the night; wrote and played the opening song, ran the updates (Dojo XP, artifacts, Upshot), and kept steering the "what are you making" prompt back on the rails whenever the room wandered into toilet seats or DNA harvesting.
• Code.E (@CodeeNCX^* — the log home build in real time: beams, trusses, AI-rendered kitchens, and the tourism business that starts once the house is done. Also gave the closing reflection on what everyone behind a PFP is quietly grinding on.
• NoCredits (@NoCredits_^* — fresh off the Tribe Called Rex mint; explained the 3D pipeline and the hidden all-one-skin traits, told the million-dollar-idea story about his dad, and floated collector guests worth chasing.
• RobbAllen (@RobbAllen15^* — asked the technical questions, thanked the mods for his Rex, and shared his own 888-piece hand-drawn collection coming once he's in his new place in two weeks. Also fighting borrowed internet the whole call.
• BeeCuzFuture (@BeeCuzFuture^* — five patents, ten inventions, a plan to end disposable batteries, an uncanny mint-luck streak, and the best one-liner of the night.
• Ava (@AvaaNCX^* — finishing a promo clip (fought an AI that gave a Rex five fingers), thanked BeeCuz and NoCredits for helping her land specific Rexes, and closed with love for the Tribe Called Rex Discord plus an open request for dreadlocks she owes someone.
• Peanut (@peanutt^* — reframed the prompt as building a network rather than a product, and took the resulting "minting people" ribbing with grace.

Worth a full listen

• [26:03]–[30:12] — NoCredits' explanation of the one-per-skin trait design, and the trade story around it. Hard to convey in summary how much of the collection's thinking lives in details you're supposed to stumble across.
• [42:58]–[53:51] — the extended AI-as-tool stretch: Code.E on learning a log build on the fly, Bubba's garage door, model recommendations, usage-limit workarounds, and Rob's reminder that real operators still know things the models don't.
• [1:02:16]–[1:09:08] — Peanut's sincere answer about collecting friendships, and the immediate, entirely affectionate derailment into 721s, fingernail accuracy, and meetup DNA collection. The room at its best.
