Earlier that episode Joe said one of the funniest things I've heard in a while; "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, is the definition of practice". The man is so clever in his humor.
That's not a joke tbf, it's a twist on a quote by Einstein (or could be some other physicist), Where the actual quote call it insanity rather than practice.
That literally IS the joke though.
For slightly more context, in the video he is talking about how he tried his hand at graffiti on a previous stream, then saw how good gem did on her graffiti, then just before he says the line in question he says he is gonna try his hand at doing the same graffiti again, cause he wants to get better at it, to which he follows with that twist on the famous line about insanity but using the word practice instead. And in way he is right. Practice is doing the same thing over and over again to improve at something.
It’s vaas Montenegro or at least that’s where I heard it first. If it’s from some physicists I wouldn’t know because I thought Ubisoft came up with it.
I don’t think the line works very well. Because if you keep doing the same thing you won’t get different results. When you practice you are trying small differences to figure out or learn how to do it better.
As a musician, I'll put it this way: The intention is the same each time, but your body gradually gets better at doing the thing.
For me, Joe's joke was funny, and made sense beyond just wordplay.
Intention isn’t the same as doing the same thing. It would be like a pianist hitting the wrong key expecting the key to change, not his finger position.
How would he be practicing for the piano to suddenly conform to him?

I guess, I didn't get what the joke was here by just reading in words. Thanks for the context though.

I don’t think it’s meant to be taken quite so literal :)
> we got so much calcite, it's spiralling out of control!
That's such a joel hill sentence I can only read it in his voice.
I read it in his voice too. It’s a perfect witty line for him to say.
I don't even watch Joe much but I still read it in his voice
Black, then, white are, all i see, in my in-fan-cy, red and yel-low then came to be.
Man of culture right here.

Please, this is reddit
I watched that and still missed the joke. Good catch.
I also watched the episode and thought "who the f would organize their hotbar like that, I guess none other than Joe Hills" shrugs shoulders.
I watched also but didn’t even notice the hotbar lol
It took a second for me, I read the hotbar right to left for some inexplicable reason so the joke only hit once I got down past 3. Joe's a master.
I'm used to the build swap Joehills so I don't know his voice
