1
00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:02,633
The Silksong we have indie developers
2
00:00:02,633 --> 00:00:05,633
delaying their game because of Silksong.
3
00:00:06,033 --> 00:00:07,466
It releases next week
4
00:00:07,466 --> 00:00:09,599
Yeah, so many many indie
5
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:12,033
developers were releasing in
6
00:00:12,066 --> 00:00:14,033
September but many of them
7
00:00:14,033 --> 00:00:16,100
delayed their games due to
8
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,466
Concerns that Silksong is just gonna eat
9
00:00:18,466 --> 00:00:20,333
up all their sales and I mean to be fair
10
00:00:20,333 --> 00:00:21,866
I think that's probably gonna happen like
11
00:00:21,866 --> 00:00:23,766
yeah if your game was releasing it and
12
00:00:23,766 --> 00:00:25,666
Silksong was released next to your game
13
00:00:25,666 --> 00:00:26,466
Would you delay your
14
00:00:26,466 --> 00:00:27,566
game gardener? Oh, yeah?
15
00:00:28,233 --> 00:00:30,699
Fun story I when I released dude links
16
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:33,133
I had the date picked out like like a two
17
00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:34,533
months in advance and
18
00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:36,000
then the day I released it
19
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,266
Supergiant games
20
00:00:37,266 --> 00:00:39,533
stealth dropped Hades oh my
21
00:00:39,533 --> 00:00:46,066
At least these devs have a heads up that
22
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:49,166
it's coming out, but as we all know
23
00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:51,633
Rockstar has some insiders that knew that
24
00:00:51,633 --> 00:00:52,899
Silksong was releasing this year, so
25
00:00:52,899 --> 00:00:54,866
obviously be deleted to avoid Silksong
26
00:00:54,866 --> 00:00:56,233
right? Yeah, of course, absolutely
27
00:00:57,233 --> 00:00:59,166
Yeah, yeah, I mean Silksong
28
00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:01,566
would eat GTA 6 as lunch so
29
00:01:02,833 --> 00:01:04,133
Yeah, they probably will
30
00:01:08,166 --> 00:01:10,633
Welcome to off the console the hottest
31
00:01:10,633 --> 00:01:12,733
new podcast that's all about gaming and
32
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:14,133
tech news and anything nerdy
33
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,233
My name is gardener, and I'm joined here
34
00:01:16,233 --> 00:01:18,066
today by my friend high tech lowlife.
35
00:01:18,066 --> 00:01:18,933
How's it going high tech?
36
00:01:19,133 --> 00:01:19,833
Well, you know I'm doing
37
00:01:19,833 --> 00:01:22,766
alright man this webcam situation is
38
00:01:24,033 --> 00:01:26,066
Not great, but it's whatever I guess
39
00:01:26,066 --> 00:01:28,233
yeah, I noticed that
40
00:01:28,233 --> 00:01:29,266
just as we were starting
41
00:01:31,833 --> 00:01:34,033
Dude so we have some big stories we're
42
00:01:34,033 --> 00:01:34,700
gonna talk about today
43
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:36,766
We've got Silksong causing Indies to
44
00:01:36,766 --> 00:01:38,833
delay their releases of their games. We
45
00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:40,166
have Sony reportedly
46
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:43,233
Planning a PlayStation 6 portable
47
00:01:43,233 --> 00:01:45,599
handheld unit that's interesting
48
00:01:46,299 --> 00:01:48,233
And then there's a ton of other
49
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:50,133
topics we're gonna hit on today
50
00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:52,666
But we like to start to show off by
51
00:01:52,666 --> 00:01:55,333
talking about the the games or the things
52
00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:56,799
we've been doing this week
53
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,866
So high tech why don't you start us off?
54
00:01:58,866 --> 00:01:59,900
What have we been doing this week?
55
00:02:00,733 --> 00:02:03,933
So I've been juggling ninja Gaiden
56
00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:06,866
ragebound and shinobi art of vengeance
57
00:02:07,533 --> 00:02:09,266
Both are really good by the way
58
00:02:10,233 --> 00:02:11,633
Yeah, I've just had less time to play
59
00:02:11,633 --> 00:02:13,766
overall, but man those are good. You
60
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:14,300
should you should
61
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:15,266
definitely pick those up
62
00:02:15,733 --> 00:02:18,266
Yeah, I I definitely want to check out
63
00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:19,866
You see ninja Gaiden
64
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,933
Yeah, ninja Gaiden ragebound ragebound. I
65
00:02:22,933 --> 00:02:23,933
had you know, I think you were talking
66
00:02:23,933 --> 00:02:24,866
about that last week, right?
67
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:26,666
yeah, so
68
00:02:27,233 --> 00:02:28,900
For those who don't know ninja Gaiden
69
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:30,766
ragebound is like a throwback to the old
70
00:02:30,766 --> 00:02:33,333
like NES style of Ninja Gaiden games
71
00:02:34,366 --> 00:02:36,433
Yeah, so it's a 2d like
72
00:02:37,033 --> 00:02:39,033
2d action platformer
73
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,033
Let me just pull that up here. I think
74
00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:43,733
you'd really like a gardener and it's on
75
00:02:43,733 --> 00:02:46,666
GOG DRM free. Oh, hell yeah
76
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:47,900
Wow, dude, this looks
77
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:49,933
awesome. This looks like my kind of
78
00:02:50,366 --> 00:02:51,433
Ninja Gaiden game
79
00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:55,066
Dude, I I know you would like it for a
80
00:02:55,066 --> 00:02:56,666
fact. I think James would too if you were
81
00:02:56,666 --> 00:02:58,733
here. Yeah, sadly my favorite
82
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,133
Games in the series are the NES ones
83
00:03:03,666 --> 00:03:05,066
Yeah, this is a throwback to that one,
84
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:07,266
you know the bit of a spoiler but the
85
00:03:07,266 --> 00:03:08,933
prologue has you playing as a
86
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:10,766
Joe Hayabusa
87
00:03:11,466 --> 00:03:13,633
Rees dad before he gets in that like
88
00:03:13,633 --> 00:03:15,500
fateful duel in the beginning. Oh, yeah,
89
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:16,433
you know the iconic
90
00:03:16,433 --> 00:03:18,466
cutscene. Yeah. Oh, yeah
91
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:21,733
Yeah, yeah, yeah, heck yeah, I'm
92
00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:23,033
definitely gonna check this out. This is
93
00:03:23,033 --> 00:03:25,066
going on my wish list here
94
00:03:25,766 --> 00:03:27,733
Where's the wish list button right there?
95
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,866
There's also there's also a sweet new
96
00:03:29,866 --> 00:03:32,966
bundle with that and it's called path of
97
00:03:32,966 --> 00:03:34,166
the ninja go to bundle info
98
00:03:34,166 --> 00:03:35,766
They made like new art
99
00:03:35,766 --> 00:03:37,833
for like the crossover art
100
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:42,433
It's pretty sick. Oh nice and
101
00:03:42,433 --> 00:03:43,633
That's the other one. I've been playing
102
00:03:43,633 --> 00:03:45,400
shinobi rage back. I'm a
103
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,133
shinobi heart of vengeance. Oh
104
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,533
Cool that looks great. Yeah
105
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:51,966
Are they sit there similar games?
106
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:55,333
Well, they play they play very
107
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:57,400
differently, but they're both like 2d
108
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,933
action like platformers
109
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:00,966
Yeah, I'll do this looks really great too
110
00:04:01,233 --> 00:04:02,566
For some reason when you were talking
111
00:04:02,566 --> 00:04:05,066
about shinobi and ninja guy nice thing
112
00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:07,000
I like the 3d ones which are less of my
113
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,366
speed, but this is
114
00:04:08,366 --> 00:04:09,433
this looks really great
115
00:04:10,133 --> 00:04:12,500
Yeah, I mean they're making a new they're
116
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:13,466
making ninja gotten for
117
00:04:13,466 --> 00:04:15,133
the new one of the new like
118
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:18,666
3d hack and slash ones. Mm-hmm. And that
119
00:04:18,666 --> 00:04:19,333
one looks pretty cool.
120
00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:20,466
Don't want to pick it up, but
121
00:04:20,966 --> 00:04:22,866
There's a game that's coming out and like
122
00:04:22,866 --> 00:04:25,533
next week that I think most of us will

124
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,366

business owners and stuff and talking
139
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:07,100
about kind of the hardships
140
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:08,600
of like the seasonality of
141
00:05:09,233 --> 00:05:11,566
Main business. It's been a lot of fun.
142
00:05:11,566 --> 00:05:13,533
It's very hyper nation specific
143
00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:15,466
But if anyone out there is interested,
144
00:05:15,466 --> 00:05:16,833
you can check it out
145
00:05:18,133 --> 00:05:21,933
Heavy element productions on YouTube and
146
00:05:21,933 --> 00:05:24,066
then what else have I been doing?
147
00:05:24,766 --> 00:05:26,566
I've been kind of I've been screwing
148
00:05:26,566 --> 00:05:30,066
around with with this guy the the
149
00:05:30,633 --> 00:05:32,833
Is this the red retro pie 5?
150
00:05:33,866 --> 00:05:36,300
Is that what it's called retroid pocket
151
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:37,733
5, I don't know why I said retro
152
00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:41,133
But yeah, I've been extremely busy this
153
00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:42,266
week. So I haven't had time
154
00:05:42,266 --> 00:05:44,466
to like relax even a little bit
155
00:05:45,233 --> 00:05:46,166
That's perfectly
156
00:05:46,166 --> 00:05:49,033
valid, dude, you know, yeah
157
00:05:49,466 --> 00:05:49,899
working on
158
00:05:51,666 --> 00:05:55,800
But yeah, so with that I think we should
159
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,033
get into the first story this week
160
00:05:58,866 --> 00:06:01,500
But before we do we gotta we gotta make
161
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,633
sure we call out people
162
00:06:02,633 --> 00:06:04,800
we're trying to hit 600 subscribers by
163
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,933

164
00:06:06,966 --> 00:06:08,366
Thousand subscribers by the end of the

to YouTube off the console
172
00:06:21,699 --> 00:06:22,733
I think it's off the
173
00:06:22,733 --> 00:06:24,733
console show right on YouTube
174
00:06:25,766 --> 00:06:28,000
I'm after no, I think it's
175
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,666
called off the console podcast
176
00:06:29,666 --> 00:06:33,066
Pull up on this let's
177
00:06:33,066 --> 00:06:34,433
pull on the screen. Yeah
178
00:06:34,433 --> 00:06:38,633
You know someone mentioned that my
179
00:06:38,633 --> 00:06:39,733
keyboard was really loud
180
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:41,733
Mmm, you know comments and
181
00:06:41,733 --> 00:06:42,899
I mean that's totally fair
182
00:06:42,933 --> 00:06:45,100
All right, so the channels just called
183
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:47,833
off the console, but the like username is
184
00:06:47,833 --> 00:06:50,100
at sign off the console podcast
185
00:06:51,699 --> 00:06:52,266
Right
186
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,433

worthy of being read on the show
209
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:45,933
Yeah, and also we've been
210
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:47,233
thinking about doing shorts again
211
00:07:47,466 --> 00:07:49,933
I know we've been kind of slacking on
212
00:07:49,933 --> 00:07:52,033
that. We have all been very busy. Yeah,
213
00:07:52,233 --> 00:07:54,533
James also has been very busy, too
214
00:07:55,433 --> 00:07:56,866
So I was wondering if you guys really
215
00:07:56,866 --> 00:07:59,133
want to see like small digestible clips
216
00:07:59,133 --> 00:08:00,199
from us. Just let us
217
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:01,866
know. Let us know the comments
218
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:02,899
Yeah
219
00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:05,733
People seem to engage with those so we
220
00:08:05,733 --> 00:08:07,466
definitely need to get back on it
221
00:08:08,666 --> 00:08:10,399
Cool well, you want to talk
222
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:11,733
about the first story today?
223
00:08:11,833 --> 00:08:16,266
Yeah, we've got the silk song we have
224
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:18,600
indie developers delaying their game
225
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,433
because of silk song
226
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:23,766
This is this is this is the game
227
00:08:23,766 --> 00:08:25,600
I was alluding to earlier when I said the
228
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,266
games releasing. Yes, it
229
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,766
releases next week. Yeah on
230
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,133
September the 4th, so a Thursday
231
00:08:34,433 --> 00:08:37,166
Lord so many many indie developers were
232
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:39,066
releasing in September
233
00:08:39,933 --> 00:08:43,533
But it's gonna be real hard but many of
234
00:08:43,533 --> 00:08:44,899
them delayed their games
235
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:47,666
due to concerns that yes
236
00:08:48,933 --> 00:08:50,666
So son is just gonna eat up all their
237
00:08:50,666 --> 00:08:52,133
sales and I mean to be fair
238
00:08:52,133 --> 00:08:52,866
I think that's probably
239
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,100
gonna happen like yeah
240
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,466
If you're if your game was releasing and
241
00:08:56,466 --> 00:08:58,299
then silk song was released next year
242
00:08:58,299 --> 00:08:59,366
game with you delay your
243
00:08:59,366 --> 00:09:00,833
game gardener. Oh, yeah
244
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,666
Yeah, you better believe it
245
00:09:04,133 --> 00:09:06,766
A fun story I when I released dudelings
246
00:09:06,766 --> 00:09:09,866
I I had it like I had the date picked out
247
00:09:09,866 --> 00:09:11,566
like like a two months in advance
248
00:09:12,066 --> 00:09:14,533
And then the day I released it
249
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:18,466
Supergiant games stealth dropped Hades oh
250
00:09:18,466 --> 00:09:25,399
At least these devs have a heads up it
251
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,633
looks like this heavy out dude
252
00:09:28,333 --> 00:09:30,500
Imagine a silk song and Hades to release
253
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:31,566
on the same day. They would like
254
00:09:31,566 --> 00:09:32,633
cannibalize each other sales
255
00:09:32,766 --> 00:09:36,233
Yes, absolutely. So there were a couple
256
00:09:36,233 --> 00:09:38,799
of games one is slot machine
257
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:42,700
rogue like clover pit. Mmm, I
258
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:44,000
Think it's interesting cuz like if this
259
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,366
were if these were all triple-a
260
00:09:45,366 --> 00:09:47,233
developers doing this and yes
261
00:09:47,233 --> 00:09:49,133
Some of them have like delayed games
262
00:09:49,133 --> 00:09:51,500
because of other much bigger games. They
263
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:52,333
wouldn't mention the name
264
00:09:52,333 --> 00:09:54,233
They wouldn't mention the game by name.
265
00:09:54,233 --> 00:09:56,366
They would be like, yeah, like this
266
00:09:56,366 --> 00:09:57,133
happened once with
267
00:09:57,133 --> 00:09:58,733
Final Fantasy 14 expansion
268
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:02,366
Being delayed because of elven rings DLC
269
00:10:04,066 --> 00:10:06,133
Mmm and
270
00:10:06,133 --> 00:10:08,133
A lot of and a lot of triple-a developers
271
00:10:08,133 --> 00:10:10,299
were playing chicken because of GTA 6
272
00:10:10,299 --> 00:10:12,066
they weren't they didn't know if it was
273
00:10:12,066 --> 00:10:14,533
Gonna release this year or not. Yeah. Oh,
274
00:10:14,533 --> 00:10:16,000
yeah. We talked about that a couple weeks
275
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,333
ago. Yeah, we did. Yeah and
276
00:10:20,133 --> 00:10:21,966
But as we all know
277
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,333
Rockstar has some insiders that knew that
278
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:25,633
silk songs releasing this year. So
279
00:10:25,633 --> 00:10:26,633
obviously be deleted to
280
00:10:26,633 --> 00:10:27,933
avoid silk song, right?
281
00:10:27,933 --> 00:10:30,466
Yeah, of course. Absolutely. Yeah
282
00:10:31,766 --> 00:10:33,033
Yeah, I mean silk song
283
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:35,466
would eat GTA 6 as lunch so
284
00:10:36,299 --> 00:10:38,633
They probably will and they just
285
00:10:38,633 --> 00:10:40,866
announced the price. Oh, yeah, 20 bucks.
286
00:10:40,866 --> 00:10:42,200
Mm-hmm. What was the
287
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,433
original when they launched it?
288
00:10:44,233 --> 00:10:46,033
I think they launched that at 20 bucks as
289
00:10:46,033 --> 00:10:47,666
well. But it's you know, of course, it's
290
00:10:47,666 --> 00:10:49,299
gone down in price sense. Yeah
291
00:10:50,899 --> 00:10:53,200
Interesting so were there any other
292
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,566
titles that delayed looks like
293
00:10:54,566 --> 00:10:55,133
um
294
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,433
Stomped sort of miracles here. There's
295
00:10:58,433 --> 00:11:00,533
there's more in the list. There's more to
296
00:11:00,533 --> 00:11:01,366
I think this article
297
00:11:01,366 --> 00:11:02,666
lists all of the games
298
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:07,333
I got the lead that we know of. Mmm
299
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,866
A turn a turn on the loose is another
300
00:11:09,866 --> 00:11:12,333
Metroidvania. Yeah, I think
301
00:11:13,066 --> 00:11:16,366
It's been delayed to 2026 as a whole. Oh
302
00:11:16,366 --> 00:11:17,533
And I think some of these
303
00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:18,833
developers were planning post
304
00:11:19,566 --> 00:11:22,633
post release content, but you know given
305
00:11:23,533 --> 00:11:25,233
Given that the game is gonna be delayed
306
00:11:25,233 --> 00:11:26,966
as I guess it's just gonna be part of the
307
00:11:26,966 --> 00:11:28,566
launch release. Right?
308
00:11:29,166 --> 00:11:32,299
Yeah, I see another one demon school not
309
00:11:32,299 --> 00:11:33,366
the same type of game
310
00:11:33,633 --> 00:11:35,200
Yeah, a lot of these games aren't even
311
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,366
the same like genre of
312
00:11:36,366 --> 00:11:38,933
games. Mmm, like demon schools a
313
00:11:39,466 --> 00:11:42,166
Tactical RPG not the same genre, but you
314
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:44,966
know, of course they are keenly aware
315
00:11:44,966 --> 00:11:46,033
that so someone probably
316
00:11:46,033 --> 00:11:47,366
just eat their lunch. Yeah
317
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:48,933
unfortunately
318
00:11:50,533 --> 00:11:50,733
I
319
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,166
Mean but also like this is
320
00:11:54,166 --> 00:11:56,233
not bad press for these games
321
00:11:56,233 --> 00:11:58,266
Like I hadn't heard of any of the games
322
00:11:58,266 --> 00:11:59,733
that we've talked about so far
323
00:11:59,733 --> 00:12:02,133
But now because they're delayed their
324
00:12:02,133 --> 00:12:04,133
game because of silk song I you know
325
00:12:04,966 --> 00:12:08,433
Definitely. They're on my radar now. Oh
326
00:12:08,433 --> 00:12:09,033
Look at that tweet
327
00:12:11,166 --> 00:12:12,766
Can you play four by three
328
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:15,000
on your CRT like demon school
329
00:12:15,666 --> 00:12:16,866
That's a good question.
330
00:12:16,866 --> 00:12:17,633
That is a good question
331
00:12:18,666 --> 00:12:21,833
You have a four by three CRT. I don't
332
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:23,033
actually I have well
333
00:12:23,033 --> 00:12:25,066
I do I do but I don't use it very often.
334
00:12:25,066 --> 00:12:29,533
I have a 16 by 9 flat CRT. Oh
335
00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:32,333
Yeah, well, you know you should do when
336
00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:33,066
so song releases
337
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:34,966
definitely going to try that
338
00:12:35,299 --> 00:12:36,666
There is a bit of like
339
00:12:36,666 --> 00:12:37,866
distortion on the side
340
00:12:37,866 --> 00:12:41,466
So platformers like like 2d platformers
341
00:12:41,466 --> 00:12:43,100
tend to like have some kind of
342
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,366
Warp warping
343
00:12:45,833 --> 00:12:46,733
So they're not my
344
00:12:46,733 --> 00:12:48,333
favorite games to plan that thing
345
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:50,433
At least when they're in
346
00:12:50,433 --> 00:12:52,666
full like widescreen support
347
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:57,299
But if they're like 16 if they're four by
348
00:12:57,299 --> 00:12:59,000
three in the center, then there's no
349
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,066
warping. That's it's nice to play on
350
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:02,933
Come on, you got to do for the content
351
00:13:02,933 --> 00:13:03,866
even if does work a
352
00:13:03,866 --> 00:13:05,866
little I know I actually set up
353
00:13:05,866 --> 00:13:07,799
I have a camera that I have up here
354
00:13:08,466 --> 00:13:10,633
Which I don't have set up yet, but it's
355
00:13:10,633 --> 00:13:13,266
like mounted to the ceiling and so when I
356
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:15,166
do live streams from my CRT
357
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:19,133
Or if I'm playing on the the iMac G3
358
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:21,399
I'll be able to switch to that camera up
359
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:22,733
here and you'll be able to
360
00:13:22,733 --> 00:13:25,266
see what I'm doing on the CRT
361
00:13:25,766 --> 00:13:27,433
Monitors, so I'm
362
00:13:27,433 --> 00:13:28,466
really excited about that
363
00:13:28,833 --> 00:13:30,533
Dude, I gotta see it
364
00:13:30,533 --> 00:13:31,933
when it happens. Oh, yeah
365
00:13:32,466 --> 00:13:34,433
Bennett Fotties new game is also getting
366
00:13:34,433 --> 00:13:35,133
delayed because of
367
00:13:35,133 --> 00:13:36,733
still sung as well. Mmm
368
00:13:36,833 --> 00:13:40,166
(Laughter)
369
00:13:42,966 --> 00:13:44,933
Baby steps is that the name?
370
00:13:45,666 --> 00:13:45,833
Yeah
371
00:13:45,833 --> 00:13:48,133
It's the one where like you're a man
372
00:13:48,133 --> 00:13:50,033
child and you're a it's a little it's the
373
00:13:50,033 --> 00:13:51,033
walking simulator that
374
00:13:51,033 --> 00:13:52,799
looks like you're like a
375
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,700
Manchild and a man diaper trying to like
376
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:57,566
walk. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah,
377
00:13:57,566 --> 00:13:59,233
Bennett Foddy, right, right the
378
00:14:00,033 --> 00:14:01,200
Getting over it right
379
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,833
and co-op co-op. Yep
380
00:14:03,866 --> 00:14:06,966
Yeah, I don't know how I feel
381
00:14:06,966 --> 00:14:08,466
about these type of games, but
382
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:11,033
They make for good
383
00:14:12,166 --> 00:14:13,700
They make for good
384
00:14:14,899 --> 00:14:16,600
Contact on dinner at least. Yeah
385
00:14:17,466 --> 00:14:18,666
Literally, what is he wearing?
386
00:14:19,533 --> 00:14:22,299
Dude, it's it's he's like a man child and
387
00:14:22,299 --> 00:14:23,766
you're taking control of him
388
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,133
He has a he has to relearn how to walk
389
00:14:26,133 --> 00:14:30,933
like he's in rehab. Oh, wow. Oh
390
00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:33,433
My gosh, oh lord
391
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:36,833
Oh
392
00:14:36,833 --> 00:14:40,533
My god, I got he got hit in the nuts
393
00:14:41,366 --> 00:14:42,066
Yeah
394
00:14:43,366 --> 00:14:44,066
Why?
395
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,033
This is gonna be fun for
396
00:14:47,033 --> 00:14:49,033
about 10 minutes and then
397
00:14:50,466 --> 00:14:54,133
Rage inducing. Yeah, but hey man, it's
398
00:14:54,133 --> 00:14:55,633
one of those games that like
399
00:14:58,166 --> 00:14:59,766
Makes you want to rate it makes you want
400
00:14:59,766 --> 00:15:01,200
to keep going because you get real so
401
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,000
pissed off at it, right?
402
00:15:02,166 --> 00:15:05,266
Mm-hmm for some people I think oh
403
00:15:05,266 --> 00:15:06,466
There's more games. I think you have to
404
00:15:06,466 --> 00:15:08,433
go press back in your browser to go back
405
00:15:08,433 --> 00:15:10,600
to that other article. Mm-hmm
406
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,100
See what else? Yeah, yeah, yeah
407
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:18,799
So I'm sure there are many many more
408
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,266
developers that like
409
00:15:20,266 --> 00:15:23,266
delayed their games, yeah
410
00:15:24,299 --> 00:15:25,566
But I wouldn't know of any of them
411
00:15:25,566 --> 00:15:27,466
because they're not listed in the
412
00:15:27,466 --> 00:15:28,533
articles those are just
413
00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:30,200
the more high-profile cases
414
00:15:30,666 --> 00:15:33,833
Yeah, I think the Bennett Foddy has kind
415
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:35,866
of become like the Indy Indy celebrity
416
00:15:36,466 --> 00:15:38,033
and so him
417
00:15:38,966 --> 00:15:40,700
postponing his game for a while is
418
00:15:41,666 --> 00:15:41,966
definitely
419
00:15:44,533 --> 00:15:46,933
Yeah, yeah, they know
420
00:15:47,966 --> 00:15:48,399
Yikes
421
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,866
But I mean again, like it's it's decent
422
00:15:51,866 --> 00:15:53,066
publicity for them, right?
423
00:15:54,133 --> 00:15:54,766
Yeah, it is
424
00:15:54,766 --> 00:15:57,733
You know, they get a they don't have to
425
00:15:57,733 --> 00:15:58,633
compete with silk song
426
00:15:59,533 --> 00:16:02,133
And be you know now people know that
427
00:16:02,133 --> 00:16:05,100
these games exist and got delayed
428
00:16:05,433 --> 00:16:06,433
Was delayed because
429
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:07,799
of silk song so right?
430
00:16:08,233 --> 00:16:10,366
Absolutely. Well, and this game has been
431
00:16:10,366 --> 00:16:12,466
this game has been on our radar for a
432
00:16:12,466 --> 00:16:14,033
while, right? Like I've been a fan of
433
00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:16,733
Hollow Knight for ages and I know you
434
00:16:16,733 --> 00:16:18,466
were talking about wanting to see silk
435
00:16:18,466 --> 00:16:20,000
song get released or announced
436
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,733
I mean at the game
437
00:16:21,733 --> 00:16:22,866
awards last year, right? I
438
00:16:24,633 --> 00:16:27,799
Think that was mostly just it was mostly
439
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:29,966
us like Josh and around yeah
440
00:16:30,533 --> 00:16:33,333
Was either that or half-life 3 or GTA 6
441
00:16:33,333 --> 00:16:34,866
or bloodborne on PC?
442
00:16:34,866 --> 00:16:37,333
Yeah, a bit of a meme, but I mean still I
443
00:16:37,333 --> 00:16:38,666
wanted to see silk song
444
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,033
Yeah, I do find it interesting
445
00:16:41,766 --> 00:16:43,933
Also, I don't think we talked. I don't
446
00:16:43,933 --> 00:16:44,933
know if we talked about this
447
00:16:45,333 --> 00:16:47,566
It's not in our article list, but Hollow
448
00:16:47,566 --> 00:16:48,566
Knight just recently
449
00:16:48,566 --> 00:16:50,933
broke its record. Oh, really?
450
00:16:51,733 --> 00:16:53,600
Yeah, it's a record of concurrent players
451
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,933
as of recent if you go to
452
00:16:54,933 --> 00:16:57,200
steam DB, you can see that
453
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:00,166
People are getting really high for silk
454
00:17:00,166 --> 00:17:01,533
song and some people
455
00:17:02,633 --> 00:17:05,666
That famously didn't like Hollow Knight
456
00:17:05,666 --> 00:17:08,333
to begin with like like mr. Gene Park of
457
00:17:08,333 --> 00:17:09,433
the Washington Post. He
458
00:17:09,433 --> 00:17:10,966
likes it now. Oh, really?
459
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:13,366
Yeah, I only know this because I follow
460
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,533
him on Twitter and he also follows me as
461
00:17:15,533 --> 00:17:18,833
well. Wow. Oh my god. Look at that
462
00:17:19,566 --> 00:17:22,700
Yeah, that's juicy man that I mean they
463
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,233
didn't just break their record. They
464
00:17:24,233 --> 00:17:25,966
absolutely smashed it
465
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,966
So the highest peak before this was
466
00:17:28,966 --> 00:17:31,933
20,000 concurrent players in May of 2022
467
00:17:32,466 --> 00:17:34,066
Was that around the time they announced
468
00:17:34,066 --> 00:17:36,166
they were doing silk song or was that I
469
00:17:36,166 --> 00:17:37,366
don't even know what that would have been
470
00:17:37,933 --> 00:17:40,233
But I don't know either to be honest, but
471
00:17:40,233 --> 00:17:41,700
now their concurrent players
472
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:44,599
in August was 65,000. So like
473
00:17:45,033 --> 00:17:46,233
three times almost
474
00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:49,266
Two times. I think it's it might still be
475
00:17:49,266 --> 00:17:51,066
going up to be honest. Yeah, I mean
476
00:17:51,066 --> 00:17:52,333
August is over for sure
477
00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:56,066
So that's absolutely crazy. People are
478
00:17:56,066 --> 00:17:57,799
getting really hyped for silk song which
479
00:17:57,799 --> 00:17:59,966
tells me silk songs gonna do really well
480
00:18:00,633 --> 00:18:02,733
Yeah. Oh, yeah, but the question
481
00:18:02,733 --> 00:18:03,866
everyone's afraid of asking
482
00:18:03,866 --> 00:18:05,400
is what if silk song sucks
483
00:18:06,833 --> 00:18:11,033
What if it sucks that I mean I think that
484
00:18:11,033 --> 00:18:12,833
there's a low likelihood of
485
00:18:12,833 --> 00:18:13,966
that they've taken their time
486
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,066
And they've been able
487
00:18:16,066 --> 00:18:17,766
to ride the success of
488
00:18:19,133 --> 00:18:23,066
The original game so yes, I don't think
489
00:18:23,066 --> 00:18:23,933
it's gonna suck either
490
00:18:23,933 --> 00:18:25,166
Yeah, I just asked him
491
00:18:25,166 --> 00:18:26,400
that because it's yeah
492
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,266
I mean if it sucks that would probably be
493
00:18:30,266 --> 00:18:31,366
pretty disastrous for
494
00:18:31,366 --> 00:18:32,333
their studio, right?
495
00:18:32,333 --> 00:18:33,900
Like I think it would they would
496
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:34,933
definitely be the end
497
00:18:34,933 --> 00:18:36,333
of team cherry for sure
498
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:38,333
Yeah, making they made people wait so
499
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:39,400
long for a game that
500
00:18:40,233 --> 00:18:41,299
if it sucks
501
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:45,366
Then yeah, it's gonna be bad. Yeah, what
502
00:18:45,366 --> 00:18:48,466
are like the the big features of
503
00:18:49,966 --> 00:18:51,666
Silk song like what's bringing what I
504
00:18:51,666 --> 00:18:53,633
haven't been following it too closely
505
00:18:55,066 --> 00:18:58,000
Dude I have no idea. Yeah, what's new in
506
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,966
silk songs because they they're famously
507
00:19:00,966 --> 00:19:03,700
not talking about the game as you know
508
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,466
Yeah, like there's like no communication.
509
00:19:05,466 --> 00:19:06,933
So I don't even know what's really new
510
00:19:06,933 --> 00:19:08,133
besides the fact that you play as
511
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:11,833
I don't even remember
512
00:19:11,833 --> 00:19:14,066
her name. I silk something
513
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,033
Yeah, but you play it but she was a boss
514
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:20,500
in the original Hollow Knight, yes
515
00:19:20,866 --> 00:19:24,133
Mmm, if you just horn it. Yeah. Okay, so
516
00:19:24,133 --> 00:19:25,966
not silk something man
517
00:19:28,866 --> 00:19:30,733
It's a game with like almost minimal
518
00:19:30,733 --> 00:19:33,033
storytelling yeah direct storytelling
519
00:19:33,133 --> 00:19:34,200
So I guess it makes
520
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,033
sense that I can't remember
521
00:19:35,066 --> 00:19:36,333
I don't even remember the main
522
00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:37,900
character's name in the original Hollow
523
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:39,833
Knight. Hmm. He's
524
00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:42,166
called the night. Oh, yeah
525
00:19:43,233 --> 00:19:46,733
Fair enough fair play team cherry. Yeah
526
00:19:46,733 --> 00:19:49,966
All right, but the question is are you
527
00:19:49,966 --> 00:19:50,666
gonna drop what you're
528
00:19:50,666 --> 00:19:51,733
doing to play silk song?
529
00:19:52,633 --> 00:19:53,766
It depends
530
00:19:54,733 --> 00:19:58,000
I think I have some time next week. It's
531
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,866
that's when it's coming out, right?
532
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:02,066
Yes, that's right comes out Thursday
533
00:20:02,266 --> 00:20:04,766
Yeah, see so I definitely want to play
534
00:20:04,766 --> 00:20:05,766
it. I think I'm I
535
00:20:05,766 --> 00:20:07,033
think I have time to do it
536
00:20:07,233 --> 00:20:09,633
I'll probably play it on stream too, but
537
00:20:09,633 --> 00:20:11,133
I also have been like
538
00:20:11,766 --> 00:20:13,700
like itching to play
539
00:20:14,066 --> 00:20:15,033
Gears of War
540
00:20:15,566 --> 00:20:15,966
Reloaded
541
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:19,033
Which is like one of my
542
00:20:19,033 --> 00:20:20,866
favorite games of that generation
543
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,666
And I just haven't had time to I
544
00:20:23,666 --> 00:20:25,433
downloaded it. It's on my steam deck and
545
00:20:25,433 --> 00:20:26,766
I just haven't had time to play it yet
546
00:20:27,633 --> 00:20:30,433
Mm-hmm, but so I mean it's gonna be a
547
00:20:31,366 --> 00:20:34,233
I'm after split my time equally for the
548
00:20:34,233 --> 00:20:36,799
games that I well so deeply why there's
549
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:37,233
something right there
550
00:20:37,233 --> 00:20:39,333
It says team cherry has stated that silk
551
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:40,533
song will be very large
552
00:20:41,066 --> 00:20:42,566
200 new enemies
553
00:20:42,933 --> 00:20:46,500
40 new bosses a hundred benches around
554
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:47,533
the game world compared
555
00:20:47,533 --> 00:20:50,299
compared to I think you see
556
00:20:51,366 --> 00:20:54,733
Over 140 over 30 and 51 respectively in
557
00:20:54,733 --> 00:20:56,033
the original Hollow Knight at launch
558
00:20:56,933 --> 00:20:58,033
and
559
00:20:58,066 --> 00:20:59,533
Grade more supposed to be one of the
560
00:20:59,533 --> 00:21:01,099
biggest areas they've ever created
561
00:21:01,099 --> 00:21:03,433
So it looks to be Hollow Knight, but just
562
00:21:03,433 --> 00:21:06,166
more more more more. So
563
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:09,566
Just here's the thing I
564
00:21:09,566 --> 00:21:11,266
don't really like large
565
00:21:12,433 --> 00:21:13,633
Levels or large game
566
00:21:13,633 --> 00:21:18,166
worlds. I like a more compact and
567
00:21:18,466 --> 00:21:19,066
like
568
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,466
Concise game world right like I prefer
569
00:21:22,466 --> 00:21:24,433
Banjo Kazooie to Banjo Tooie
570
00:21:24,433 --> 00:21:27,666
Banjo Tooie felt sparse and
571
00:21:29,666 --> 00:21:32,099
Empty right and Banjo Kazooie was like
572
00:21:32,099 --> 00:21:34,466
this dense fun world
573
00:21:34,466 --> 00:21:36,799
I mean I I'm not gonna
574
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:39,433
pick cast judgment on on
575
00:21:39,633 --> 00:21:42,500
This game yet on silk song, but I will
576
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:44,566
say that has me raising an eyebrow
577
00:21:44,633 --> 00:21:49,666
Well, maybe you're just faster overall in
578
00:21:49,666 --> 00:21:52,533
silk song. Yeah, that could be for sure
579
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:56,099
But yeah, I am excited I
580
00:21:56,099 --> 00:21:57,666
definitely will be checking it out
581
00:21:58,933 --> 00:22:01,466
Yeah, I think I might yeah, I mean I've
582
00:22:01,466 --> 00:22:02,433
been I said I was playing
583
00:22:02,433 --> 00:22:03,766
shinobi and ninja Gaiden
584
00:22:03,766 --> 00:22:05,266
But I might have to add another game to
585
00:22:05,266 --> 00:22:07,866
my juggling list. Yeah, how do you manage
586
00:22:07,866 --> 00:22:09,099
juggling games by the
587
00:22:09,099 --> 00:22:10,366
way? It's hard for me
588
00:22:11,633 --> 00:22:12,533
That's a good question
589
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:16,233
Cuz like I'm not sure cuz I
590
00:22:16,233 --> 00:22:17,866
Know some people have like let's say for
591
00:22:17,866 --> 00:22:19,466
like some people have issues with like
592
00:22:19,466 --> 00:22:20,033
juggling around
593
00:22:20,033 --> 00:22:21,933
different like system controllers
594
00:22:22,366 --> 00:22:23,766
Like if you switch between like a
595
00:22:23,766 --> 00:22:25,766
Nintendo controller and Xbox controller
596
00:22:25,766 --> 00:22:27,700
they get X and PlayStation
597
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:29,000
They would get X mixed up. I don't that
598
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,333
doesn't happen to me though. Mmm
599
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,066
Yeah, I know it's kind of instinctual
600
00:22:32,066 --> 00:22:34,200
that like if I know if I have a Nintendo
601
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,266
controller in my hands
602
00:22:35,266 --> 00:22:36,633
I know where a and B
603
00:22:36,633 --> 00:22:38,333
are, you know, right?
604
00:22:39,866 --> 00:22:41,866
But for me I
605
00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:45,500
Find like if I have a game that I'm
606
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,966
playing like let's say Gears
607
00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:48,833
of War for example, and then
608
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,866
Another game that I want to play comes
609
00:22:50,866 --> 00:22:52,400
out. Suddenly, I feel a
610
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,066
lot of like choice anxiety
611
00:22:54,133 --> 00:22:55,633
And it's just easier for
612
00:22:55,633 --> 00:22:58,299
me to not play them. Oh
613
00:22:58,299 --> 00:23:00,433
My gosh, I know that feeling too, but
614
00:23:00,433 --> 00:23:01,933
yeah, I think at this point
615
00:23:01,933 --> 00:23:04,266
I'm gonna have to rush I'm not rush
616
00:23:04,266 --> 00:23:05,533
But I'm thinking just something to spend
617
00:23:05,533 --> 00:23:07,266
my time focusing on one of the two games
618
00:23:07,266 --> 00:23:07,900
I'm playing right now
619
00:23:07,933 --> 00:23:10,233
I mean just get that yeah, I don't want
620
00:23:10,233 --> 00:23:11,033
to get out of the way because
621
00:23:11,033 --> 00:23:11,866
it sounds like it's annoying
622
00:23:11,866 --> 00:23:13,633
But like, you know, I'm saying yeah. Oh,
623
00:23:13,633 --> 00:23:15,466
no, I get it. I you know, what would be
624
00:23:15,466 --> 00:23:18,133
really fun is if I do
625
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,866
Gears so here's that so Gears of War
626
00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:23,433
played on 16 by 9 feels normal to me,
627
00:23:23,433 --> 00:23:25,433
right? And so playing that on my
628
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:28,966
TV over here will take me right back to
629
00:23:28,966 --> 00:23:30,566
plan it on my 360 because I had
630
00:23:31,133 --> 00:23:31,633
I
631
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:34,266
Had a CRT on my 360
632
00:23:34,266 --> 00:23:35,866
when I first got a 360
633
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:39,166
So doing that I think I might do that on
634
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:41,666
stream and have my camera set up over
635
00:23:41,666 --> 00:23:42,966
here. So and streaming that
636
00:23:43,566 --> 00:23:45,866
But then playing Hollow Knight, yeah, I
637
00:23:45,866 --> 00:23:47,866
might stream it from my steam deck. Well,
638
00:23:47,866 --> 00:23:49,133
you know while sitting here
639
00:23:49,566 --> 00:23:51,200
And that might just be enough
640
00:23:51,966 --> 00:23:54,000
Differentiation to actually play the two
641
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,366
games at the same time
642
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:57,466
No, I think that that I think that does
643
00:23:57,466 --> 00:23:59,033
work cuz it's not like you're just
644
00:23:59,033 --> 00:24:00,000
singing it could be a plane
645
00:24:00,366 --> 00:24:03,333
The layout. Yeah, I get I get it though
646
00:24:03,333 --> 00:24:04,400
But whatever I do
647
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,166
I have to avoid playing games at all cost
648
00:24:07,166 --> 00:24:09,133
on my PC itself because I
649
00:24:09,133 --> 00:24:10,766
this this is where I work
650
00:24:12,366 --> 00:24:15,333
All right now, yeah now we got asked
651
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:16,966
James will you drop
652
00:24:16,966 --> 00:24:21,566
everything to play so it's on next week
653
00:24:24,466 --> 00:24:27,066
There I asked him well if he responds
654
00:24:27,066 --> 00:24:28,166
during the show will just
655
00:24:29,133 --> 00:24:31,233
We'll let you guys know but if not, we'll
656
00:24:31,233 --> 00:24:32,799
just put in the comments down below on
657
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:34,733
YouTube. Mmm. I've seen comment
658
00:24:35,633 --> 00:24:38,233
Alright, but I mean, I don't know much
659
00:24:38,233 --> 00:24:39,533
what more we can say
660
00:24:39,533 --> 00:24:40,633
about silk song besides
661
00:24:41,066 --> 00:24:43,966
It's gonna be it's it's finally happening
662
00:24:43,966 --> 00:24:46,166
man. What's next Half-Life 3?
663
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,733
Half-Life 3 dude. I mean, I think what's
664
00:24:48,733 --> 00:24:51,066
next for playing silk song is gonna be
665
00:24:51,066 --> 00:24:52,666
playing it on your portable
666
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:55,633
Sony handheld the PlayStation 6
667
00:24:56,666 --> 00:24:58,233
What is this story about?
668
00:24:59,466 --> 00:25:02,733
so There's a report claiming that Sony wants
669
00:25:02,733 --> 00:25:03,733
to make two different
670
00:25:03,733 --> 00:25:05,533
kinds of PlayStation 6's
671
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,333
First and foremost is your standard, you
672
00:25:08,333 --> 00:25:09,766
know console more
673
00:25:09,766 --> 00:25:11,233
powerful of course naturally
674
00:25:11,733 --> 00:25:13,333
But they also want to make a
675
00:25:13,333 --> 00:25:15,833
switch style dockable handheld
676
00:25:16,466 --> 00:25:17,233
that
677
00:25:17,733 --> 00:25:19,966
When docked will be more powerful than
678
00:25:19,966 --> 00:25:21,866
the base ps5. So they say
679
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,166
And this is according to Moore's law is
680
00:25:25,166 --> 00:25:27,766
dead. Mm-hmm. That's a leak site. All
681
00:25:27,766 --> 00:25:29,466
right, like they mostly publish leaks
682
00:25:29,766 --> 00:25:31,933
Yeah, yeah leak youtuber
683
00:25:32,566 --> 00:25:35,299
right, so the
684
00:25:35,966 --> 00:25:38,033
portable the portable
685
00:25:38,033 --> 00:25:39,933
ps6 is supposed to have
686
00:25:40,566 --> 00:25:43,000
Zen for Zen 6c cores
687
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,866
Realers n6 e cores and also two of those
688
00:25:46,866 --> 00:25:49,333
cool and to sip two separate course for
689
00:25:49,333 --> 00:25:50,900
quote-unquote system tasks
690
00:25:51,366 --> 00:25:54,666
Mmm interesting so eight or eight course
691
00:25:54,666 --> 00:25:55,533
total two of them
692
00:25:55,533 --> 00:25:57,599
dedicated to like the no no no
693
00:25:57,900 --> 00:26:00,700
No for four course for gaming and then
694
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:02,766
two those are fours. So six cores
695
00:26:03,166 --> 00:26:06,599
It says oh, oh for four Zen see cores and
696
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:08,766
two further. Okay, so it is a six core.
697
00:26:08,766 --> 00:26:09,766
Right, right, right?
698
00:26:09,766 --> 00:26:13,033
I read yes, and it's supposed to have 16
699
00:26:13,033 --> 00:26:16,433
our DNA 5 compute compute units
700
00:26:17,466 --> 00:26:20,166
Hmm supposed to run a 1.2 gigahertz
701
00:26:20,166 --> 00:26:24,200
handheld and 1.65 gigahertz docked and
702
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,133
It's supposed to retail for
703
00:26:27,099 --> 00:26:29,533
$500 which is incredibly cheap for a
704
00:26:29,533 --> 00:26:32,266
handheld. Yeah for sure
705
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:36,400
Like the steam deck is around that price
706
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,900
and this would and if the specs are to be
707
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:40,900
believed and this would eclipse the steam
708
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:43,633
Neck by a lot. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah,
709
00:26:43,633 --> 00:26:44,533
this would overtake it
710
00:26:45,266 --> 00:26:47,233
easily and
711
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:49,866
$500, I
712
00:26:49,866 --> 00:26:52,533
Mean, I would bet that the $500 version
713
00:26:52,533 --> 00:26:54,966
is like 128 gigabytes of
714
00:26:54,966 --> 00:26:57,166
storage maximum like there's
715
00:26:57,766 --> 00:27:00,333
They're gonna be gouging pricing with
716
00:27:00,333 --> 00:27:02,433
with higher higher tier
717
00:27:02,433 --> 00:27:03,366
storage. I would imagine
718
00:27:03,966 --> 00:27:06,566
Oh, yeah for sure, but like 500 bucks.
719
00:27:06,566 --> 00:27:08,500
That's crazy. I would
720
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:11,066
consider picking up a ps6
721
00:27:11,066 --> 00:27:13,799
at a handheld one for 500 bucks
722
00:27:15,099 --> 00:27:16,033
Absolutely, yes
723
00:27:17,133 --> 00:27:18,866
That said there's I mean
724
00:27:19,466 --> 00:27:22,799
My personal opinion though. I see a lot
725
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:24,166
of games running poorly
726
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:26,833
I'm not just not just PC
727
00:27:26,833 --> 00:27:28,433
but also on consoles as well
728
00:27:28,433 --> 00:27:29,866
Yeah, like Monster in a
729
00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:31,266
while still runs terribly
730
00:27:31,366 --> 00:27:34,866
So I and not it's not just on and it's
731
00:27:34,866 --> 00:27:36,066
not just on the base ps5
732
00:27:36,066 --> 00:27:37,466
but also ps5 Pro as well
733
00:27:37,466 --> 00:27:38,400
which makes me wonder
734
00:27:38,966 --> 00:27:41,266
Mr. Makes you wonders if if games can
735
00:27:41,266 --> 00:27:43,000
really get much better and
736
00:27:43,733 --> 00:27:45,799
I think Sony is seeing
737
00:27:46,733 --> 00:27:49,200
The writing on the wall and that's why
738
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,533
they're going for a more portable
739
00:27:50,533 --> 00:27:53,633
approach. Right? Well also like
740
00:27:54,633 --> 00:27:57,033
Correct me if I'm wrong, but like zen 6
741
00:27:57,033 --> 00:27:59,099
would be breaking with
742
00:27:59,099 --> 00:28:00,799
tradition, right? Like I mean
743
00:28:02,433 --> 00:28:03,633
Even when the ps5
744
00:28:03,633 --> 00:28:07,299
released the the generation of
745
00:28:07,733 --> 00:28:11,200
Of like CPU APU hardware was like one or
746
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,000
two generations old at that point, right?
747
00:28:13,766 --> 00:28:15,433
Right zen 6 if they were if
748
00:28:15,433 --> 00:28:17,333
they released this in 2027
749
00:28:17,866 --> 00:28:19,933
Zen 6 is gonna be pretty new
750
00:28:23,066 --> 00:28:24,400
Still like so that just
751
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,900
bought boggles my mind a little bit
752
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:27,099
I mean they look like they're really
753
00:28:27,099 --> 00:28:29,099
going for like the state-of-the-art
754
00:28:29,099 --> 00:28:31,266
versus like tried and true stable
755
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:33,966
CPU hardware, I
756
00:28:33,966 --> 00:28:35,366
Mean, that's totally valid. But I think
757
00:28:35,366 --> 00:28:38,066
for like higher efficiency games
758
00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:39,566
I mean going state-of-the-art might be
759
00:28:39,566 --> 00:28:40,933
the way to go for like a handheld like
760
00:28:40,933 --> 00:28:41,833
this. That's what yeah
761
00:28:41,933 --> 00:28:43,233
I mean that makes sense
762
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:46,066
But I mean even the steam deck was like I
763
00:28:46,066 --> 00:28:47,466
know it was delayed by like six months
764
00:28:47,466 --> 00:28:50,066
But like it's still like the CPU was
765
00:28:50,766 --> 00:28:53,900
Older, right? I mean the CPU was older
766
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:54,966
but at the same time
767
00:28:54,966 --> 00:28:56,166
though it was still like
768
00:28:56,333 --> 00:28:58,700
The most at the time the most powerful
769
00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:00,733
APU because you couldn't buy any APUs
770
00:29:00,733 --> 00:29:02,466
with our DNA anything in them, right?
771
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:04,966
You know no handhelds had our DNA at all.
772
00:29:04,966 --> 00:29:06,566
They were still all running Vega
773
00:29:06,866 --> 00:29:08,933
They're all either running Intel or they
774
00:29:08,933 --> 00:29:10,933
were running AMD with Vega. I think
775
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,599
So that's right Vega
776
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:15,133
was like the big deal for
777
00:29:15,766 --> 00:29:18,900
Handhelds and for like mini PCs yeah
778
00:29:18,900 --> 00:29:20,866
And yeah, and as a result the steam deck
779
00:29:20,866 --> 00:29:21,966
was not only cheaper
780
00:29:21,966 --> 00:29:23,466
than like the original
781
00:29:23,466 --> 00:29:25,099
I a neo which was at the
782
00:29:25,099 --> 00:29:26,566
time the best handheld hmm
783
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,266
But it was also like substantially more
784
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:30,833
powerful and power efficient
785
00:29:30,866 --> 00:29:32,700
So it was the steam deck at the time
786
00:29:32,700 --> 00:29:33,666
basically was the
787
00:29:33,666 --> 00:29:35,033
best of like both worlds
788
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:37,566
At the time for sure. It wasn't
789
00:29:37,566 --> 00:29:38,433
considered the cheap
790
00:29:38,433 --> 00:29:39,233
handheld was considered
791
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,666
The strength of the best.
792
00:29:41,966 --> 00:29:43,833
Yeah, and the cheapest yeah
793
00:29:43,833 --> 00:29:47,466
I mean and if Sony if these rumors are
794
00:29:47,466 --> 00:29:49,033
true, then Sony would definitely be
795
00:29:49,033 --> 00:29:50,466
swooping in and stealing that
796
00:29:51,266 --> 00:29:53,066
Both both badges there
797
00:29:53,066 --> 00:29:54,866
cheapest and most powerful
798
00:29:55,366 --> 00:29:59,166
Yes, and the steam deck should just opt
799
00:29:59,166 --> 00:30:00,700
to do the same thing I'm hoping
800
00:30:00,733 --> 00:30:02,266
Yeah, I'm hoping we get a
801
00:30:02,266 --> 00:30:04,099
steam deck at some point I
802
00:30:05,333 --> 00:30:07,866
But I mean, I don't know when that's
803
00:30:07,866 --> 00:30:08,599
gonna happen to be honest
804
00:30:08,733 --> 00:30:13,633
I would love to have a steam deck I
805
00:30:13,633 --> 00:30:17,366
Would even take like Fremont as a console
806
00:30:17,366 --> 00:30:19,466
like that would be
807
00:30:19,466 --> 00:30:21,133
that would be cool as well
808
00:30:22,066 --> 00:30:24,166
Well, hopefully it happens sooner than
809
00:30:24,166 --> 00:30:25,799
later man, I'm sick of waiting
810
00:30:26,333 --> 00:30:27,833
Hello, wait, so I
811
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:29,666
remember the OLED steam deck
812
00:30:30,966 --> 00:30:33,400
Had some benchmark sleep a couple of
813
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,466
months in advance, right?
814
00:30:34,466 --> 00:30:35,266
Yeah for the it was announced
815
00:30:35,366 --> 00:30:38,166
Yeah, so maybe it'll only be a couple of
816
00:30:38,166 --> 00:30:39,266
months until we get Fremont
817
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:42,133
Sometime towards the end of the year. I
818
00:30:42,133 --> 00:30:42,966
would hope that it's
819
00:30:42,966 --> 00:30:44,466
like in time for Christmas
820
00:30:45,533 --> 00:30:47,466
Dude Fremont's gonna
821
00:30:47,466 --> 00:30:49,366
be sick dude. I would
822
00:30:50,233 --> 00:30:52,533
If they also come out with half-life
823
00:30:52,533 --> 00:30:54,799
three at the same time boy,
824
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:56,233
howdy would that be exciting?
825
00:30:56,266 --> 00:30:57,766
That would be the best Christmas of my
826
00:30:57,766 --> 00:30:59,033
adult life. Let me tell you
827
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,266
It might be the best
828
00:31:01,266 --> 00:31:03,066
Christmas of your whole life. Yes
829
00:31:03,433 --> 00:31:06,599
I don't know one Christmas. I got a
830
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:09,700
little Super Nintendo keychain. It was
831
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:11,433
like it was literally a Super Nintendo
832
00:31:13,533 --> 00:31:15,233
Shaped but it was like this big and it
833
00:31:15,233 --> 00:31:16,866
was on a keychain and
834
00:31:16,866 --> 00:31:19,366
And you would push in on the the reset
835
00:31:19,366 --> 00:31:20,066
button and it would
836
00:31:20,066 --> 00:31:21,900
play the Super Mario theme
837
00:31:22,733 --> 00:31:24,366
Super Mario Bros theme
838
00:31:24,366 --> 00:31:25,866
Super Mario world theme
839
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:29,366
And I love that thing more than anything.
840
00:31:29,366 --> 00:31:31,833
I had ever loved about my entire life. So
841
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,866
Don't tell Emily. I know
842
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,833
It's crazy man, I mean
843
00:31:44,833 --> 00:31:48,433
We hear so much about gaming anymore
844
00:31:48,433 --> 00:31:50,833
It's crazy that they would drop this $500
845
00:31:50,833 --> 00:31:53,733
Bob when you know what the prices of
846
00:31:53,733 --> 00:31:56,333
consoles have been going up. I know. Yeah
847
00:31:56,966 --> 00:31:59,299
Maybe maybe they've got like a really
848
00:31:59,299 --> 00:32:00,299
good deal with AMD or
849
00:32:00,299 --> 00:32:01,433
something. Who knows?
850
00:32:02,233 --> 00:32:03,666
Yeah, or maybe
851
00:32:04,633 --> 00:32:07,366
Yeah, I hope so man AMD's
852
00:32:07,366 --> 00:32:08,466
right now on top of the world
853
00:32:08,566 --> 00:32:10,799
Mm-hmm, which is just which does kind of
854
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:12,966
have me concerned cuz like the last time
855
00:32:12,966 --> 00:32:15,099
someone was on top was Intel and we know
856
00:32:15,099 --> 00:32:17,333
How bad Intel shit the bed for like a
857
00:32:17,333 --> 00:32:19,666
decade? Oh my gosh. Yeah, they're still
858
00:32:19,666 --> 00:32:20,266
paying for they're
859
00:32:20,266 --> 00:32:21,266
still paying for their sins
860
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,566
Yep, they are yes
861
00:32:27,533 --> 00:32:29,366
Speaking of sins Nintendo
862
00:32:31,933 --> 00:32:32,166
Oh
863
00:32:33,866 --> 00:32:35,333
Just Nintendo no need
864
00:32:35,333 --> 00:32:36,200
to elaborate further
865
00:32:36,233 --> 00:32:39,733
But no many developers at Gamescom said
866
00:32:39,733 --> 00:32:40,833
they weren't able to get
867
00:32:40,833 --> 00:32:42,966
switched to dev kits still
868
00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:45,400
How do we how do we
869
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,466
feel about that high-tech?
870
00:32:48,566 --> 00:32:50,666
Well, I would imagine
871
00:32:50,833 --> 00:32:52,299
Nintendo would want to
872
00:32:52,433 --> 00:32:54,666
make as many of these dev kits as soon as
873
00:32:54,666 --> 00:32:55,933
possible and get them out to as many
874
00:32:55,933 --> 00:32:57,066
developers as possible to
875
00:32:57,066 --> 00:32:58,299
get third-party support because
876
00:32:58,466 --> 00:33:00,733
You know remember the last the remember
877
00:33:00,733 --> 00:33:02,533
the last system that didn't get that
878
00:33:02,533 --> 00:33:03,666
didn't get much third
879
00:33:03,666 --> 00:33:05,566
party support with the Wii U
880
00:33:05,566 --> 00:33:08,766
Yeah, yeah that all that I'm not gonna
881
00:33:08,766 --> 00:33:10,633
say that nearly killed Nintendo, but that
882
00:33:10,633 --> 00:33:11,966
was a bad that was a bad time
883
00:33:12,133 --> 00:33:13,866
It it was definitely a
884
00:33:13,866 --> 00:33:15,500
heavy blow for them for sure
885
00:33:16,099 --> 00:33:16,533
Yes
886
00:33:17,633 --> 00:33:19,533
What but what's interesting though is
887
00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:20,900
that it seems like Nintendo are just
888
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:22,766
telling these developers to develop the
889
00:33:22,766 --> 00:33:23,799
games for the switch one
890
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:25,900
and rely on backwards compatibility I
891
00:33:27,233 --> 00:33:31,033
Mean that's not a great response from
892
00:33:31,033 --> 00:33:32,666
Nintendo is it like that I mean
893
00:33:34,466 --> 00:33:37,166
Especially with it all being through
894
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:39,900
basically a proton like abstraction layer
895
00:33:40,433 --> 00:33:43,299
On a handheld. I mean I'm
896
00:33:43,299 --> 00:33:44,766
saying this as a steam deck fan
897
00:33:45,733 --> 00:33:47,833
with I
898
00:33:47,833 --> 00:33:49,766
Don't know if it feels like there could
899
00:33:49,766 --> 00:33:51,566
be optimizations that developers could do
900
00:33:51,566 --> 00:33:54,633
for something like the switch to that
901
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:56,866
Nintendo's just not
902
00:33:57,333 --> 00:33:59,066
Putting their money into the development
903
00:33:59,066 --> 00:34:01,833
for third parties and that that could
904
00:34:01,833 --> 00:34:02,799
spell disaster for them
905
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:04,766
I mean it the headline here says Nintendo
906
00:34:04,766 --> 00:34:06,233
seems to almost be discouraging
907
00:34:06,466 --> 00:34:08,766
switch to development and
908
00:34:09,433 --> 00:34:12,133
If if I were a developer who had any
909
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:14,766
interest in developing for switch to I
910
00:34:14,766 --> 00:34:18,066
would feel snubbed by this I
911
00:34:18,066 --> 00:34:18,766
Feel like Nintendo
912
00:34:19,066 --> 00:34:21,733
I think if this were Sony they would
913
00:34:21,733 --> 00:34:23,733
probably dissuade you from making ps4
914
00:34:23,733 --> 00:34:25,500
versions of a ps5 game
915
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:27,166
Yeah, the opposite right yeah,
916
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:28,933
you would think so right yeah
917
00:34:29,666 --> 00:34:30,933
Like I get it
918
00:34:31,633 --> 00:34:33,233
You can make a switch one game and it
919
00:34:33,233 --> 00:34:34,333
works on switch yeah,
920
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:35,699
but the same time though
921
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:37,033
What if I want to make a game that
922
00:34:37,033 --> 00:34:38,866
doesn't run while on the switch one?
923
00:34:40,266 --> 00:34:41,500
What if they did this like CD project
924
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:42,766
right to release cyberpunk?
925
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,266
I'm a punk was one of the best-selling
926
00:34:44,266 --> 00:34:47,099
switch to games because like it was a
927
00:34:47,099 --> 00:34:48,000
graphical showcase of
928
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:48,733
what the switch could do
929
00:34:48,966 --> 00:34:51,133
Mmm. Yeah, switch I mean yeah
930
00:34:52,066 --> 00:34:54,166
My question is is this a
931
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:55,533
strategy from Nintendo?
932
00:34:56,166 --> 00:34:57,333
Because they have such a
933
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:59,333
huge install base for the switch
934
00:35:00,366 --> 00:35:02,633
That they are still making a ton of
935
00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:03,500
money. Maybe even a
936
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:06,099
lion's share of their income on
937
00:35:06,099 --> 00:35:08,366
The switch right like sales for software
938
00:35:08,366 --> 00:35:10,900
on that so maybe they're trying to like
939
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:15,166
extend the life cycle of the switch one I
940
00:35:15,166 --> 00:35:15,733
mean it makes
941
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,766
It makes sense. Yeah, I definitely I can
942
00:35:19,766 --> 00:35:22,566
definitely see that because I mean yeah
943
00:35:22,566 --> 00:35:25,866
the install base is there and
944
00:35:26,133 --> 00:35:28,566
There and I mean come on they literally
945
00:35:28,566 --> 00:35:30,266
raised the prices of the switch one.
946
00:35:30,266 --> 00:35:31,833
There's no way they're not
947
00:35:31,833 --> 00:35:33,900
There's no way they're gonna like stop
948
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:37,266
anytime soon. Yeah, I
949
00:35:37,266 --> 00:35:37,833
mean there's a
950
00:35:38,966 --> 00:35:40,000
There's an interesting
951
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,133
exchange between John and Oliver on
952
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,500
Digital foundry
953
00:35:46,433 --> 00:35:49,066
John said Nintendo seems to almost just
954
00:35:49,066 --> 00:35:50,866
to be almost discouraging switch to
955
00:35:50,866 --> 00:35:52,699
development to some degree where I've
956
00:35:52,699 --> 00:35:54,066
spoken with plenty of developers
957
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,533
Where they say they were either told that
958
00:35:57,533 --> 00:35:59,966
their game they should just ship it on
959
00:35:59,966 --> 00:36:01,066
switch one and rely on
960
00:36:01,066 --> 00:36:01,833
backwards compatibility
961
00:36:02,033 --> 00:36:03,466
There's a lot of developers who are
962
00:36:03,466 --> 00:36:05,300
unable to get switch to dev kits
963
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,766
We talked to a lot of devs at games com
964
00:36:07,766 --> 00:36:09,266
this year and so many of
965
00:36:09,266 --> 00:36:10,266
them said the same thing
966
00:36:10,266 --> 00:36:12,533
They want to ship on switch they would
967
00:36:12,533 --> 00:36:13,366
love to do switch to
968
00:36:13,366 --> 00:36:14,833
versions. They can't get the hardware
969
00:36:14,966 --> 00:36:17,333
It's really difficult right now, and then
970
00:36:17,333 --> 00:36:20,099
Oliver said I don't really understand the
971
00:36:20,099 --> 00:36:22,566
strategy because like you said even now
972
00:36:22,566 --> 00:36:24,166
Developers are struggling to get systems,
973
00:36:24,166 --> 00:36:26,433
and I know that some months ago
974
00:36:27,566 --> 00:36:29,633
When we're you know hearing things
975
00:36:30,066 --> 00:36:31,500
Through the grapevine and talking to
976
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:33,633
people there were some
977
00:36:33,633 --> 00:36:35,733
weird exclusions with
978
00:36:36,266 --> 00:36:38,233
Some big developers struggling to get
979
00:36:38,233 --> 00:36:41,000
kits for games from what I heard so
980
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,466
that's just crazy man like
981
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:43,833
there are some even triple-a
982
00:36:44,833 --> 00:36:46,466
Even some triple-a studios that aren't
983
00:36:46,466 --> 00:36:48,699
able to get developer kits for the switch
984
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,933
Man those are the people you really need
985
00:36:52,933 --> 00:36:56,500
to get dev kits like ASAP. Yeah, yeah,
986
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:57,433
definitely. I mean I can
987
00:36:57,433 --> 00:36:59,266
understand like prioritizing
988
00:37:00,066 --> 00:37:01,800
certain devs over others right
989
00:37:02,966 --> 00:37:03,966
especially if
990
00:37:04,433 --> 00:37:06,733
Nintendo's having a hard time even
991
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,500
fulfilling the request
992
00:37:09,099 --> 00:37:10,000
for filling the
993
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,566
demand I should say of the
994
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,599
switch in the public, but
995
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:17,933
They're not really having that issue
996
00:37:17,933 --> 00:37:20,133
right like the stocks stock for the
997
00:37:20,133 --> 00:37:22,066
switch has been more
998
00:37:22,066 --> 00:37:23,000
or less there, right?
999
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:26,233
Right so and yeah and another thing is
1000
00:37:26,233 --> 00:37:28,233
that the switch has had a history of
1001
00:37:28,233 --> 00:37:30,033
third parties coming out much later
1002
00:37:30,033 --> 00:37:31,766
On the switch, and they would unlike the
1003
00:37:31,766 --> 00:37:33,233
PlayStation 4 right oh, yeah
1004
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:35,699
Yeah, and so this is not gonna leave you
1005
00:37:35,699 --> 00:37:36,833
that issue either right?
1006
00:37:37,433 --> 00:37:37,966
Yeah
1007
00:37:39,033 --> 00:37:41,000
And then there's a comment here that says
1008
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,666
the most Nintendo thing possible
1009
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,966
I have to agree with it. Yeah, I
1010
00:37:45,966 --> 00:37:47,066
certainly agree, and
1011
00:37:47,066 --> 00:37:47,966
there's not like that
1012
00:37:47,966 --> 00:37:49,366
There's not like a chip shortage or
1013
00:37:49,366 --> 00:37:49,766
anything like that
1014
00:37:49,766 --> 00:37:51,133
right not that I'm aware
1015
00:37:51,366 --> 00:37:54,366
Yeah, so I can't think of a reason why
1016
00:37:54,366 --> 00:37:55,933
they aren't just meant
1017
00:37:55,966 --> 00:37:58,233
I I mean I remember Nintendo was
1018
00:37:58,233 --> 00:37:59,933
manufactured the hell out of switch 2's
1019
00:37:59,933 --> 00:38:01,833
to the point where I haven't heard
1020
00:38:01,866 --> 00:38:04,133
But like normally if like this remember
1021
00:38:04,133 --> 00:38:05,766
the switch one released and like people
1022
00:38:05,766 --> 00:38:06,733
couldn't find them at all
1023
00:38:06,733 --> 00:38:08,099
And they were scalped to hell and back
1024
00:38:08,099 --> 00:38:09,966
when they first released. Oh, yeah, I
1025
00:38:09,966 --> 00:38:11,466
heard nothing of the
1026
00:38:11,466 --> 00:38:12,699
sort for the switch same
1027
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,466
I'm wondering if there's just
1028
00:38:15,466 --> 00:38:19,000
less demand for the switch I
1029
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:19,900
Mean I can see it
1030
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:22,066
I mean I'm seeing people online turning
1031
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:23,866
against Mario Kart world despite that
1032
00:38:23,866 --> 00:38:25,633
trying to be I guess the
1033
00:38:26,033 --> 00:38:27,633
System seller right yeah
1034
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,266
Like I've I saw like
1035
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:31,966
a real like a glut of
1036
00:38:32,933 --> 00:38:33,933
Super Mario world
1037
00:38:34,333 --> 00:38:37,066
Videos like and it was like YouTube
1038
00:38:37,066 --> 00:38:40,066
shoving them down my throat and
1039
00:38:40,066 --> 00:38:42,199
Then suddenly nothing like I'm not seeing
1040
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:44,500
and I you know I'm not in those circles,
1041
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:46,266
so I don't know but like
1042
00:38:47,566 --> 00:38:48,833
It hasn't had the same
1043
00:38:48,833 --> 00:38:50,500
kind of impact that I remember
1044
00:38:51,733 --> 00:38:52,266
any
1045
00:38:52,966 --> 00:38:55,133
Switch game having like any first-party
1046
00:38:55,133 --> 00:38:57,833
switch game that even Mario Kart 8 which
1047
00:38:57,833 --> 00:39:00,366
itself was a re-release of a
1048
00:39:00,533 --> 00:39:03,033
Wii U game right I
1049
00:39:03,033 --> 00:39:07,233
Mean I played it. I have it. It's it's
1050
00:39:07,233 --> 00:39:08,533
Thankfully I didn't get thankfully I
1051
00:39:08,533 --> 00:39:09,166
didn't have to pay any
1052
00:39:09,166 --> 00:39:12,233
dollars for it, but uh I
1053
00:39:12,233 --> 00:39:12,866
Mean I don't know if I
1054
00:39:12,866 --> 00:39:15,533
would have paid $80 Adam. It's
1055
00:39:16,133 --> 00:39:19,133
It's a $50 fun video game, but I don't
1056
00:39:19,133 --> 00:39:20,133
know if it's an $80
1057
00:39:20,133 --> 00:39:21,666
fun video game, right?
1058
00:39:22,566 --> 00:39:25,233
Do you still play it even like you know
1059
00:39:25,233 --> 00:39:26,033
two or three months on?
1060
00:39:26,766 --> 00:39:28,433
No, no, no, I've I've
1061
00:39:28,566 --> 00:39:30,466
Shelled my switch to you. I took it
1062
00:39:30,466 --> 00:39:32,199
offline. I'm waiting for a hack to come
1063
00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:34,400
out for it nice smart. That's good
1064
00:39:35,166 --> 00:39:36,933
I was going to
1065
00:39:38,199 --> 00:39:40,300
My friend my friend bought a second
1066
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:43,033
switch, and he's been like messaging me.
1067
00:39:43,033 --> 00:39:44,266
He's like still in the box
1068
00:39:44,266 --> 00:39:45,566
You can buy it now, and
1069
00:39:45,566 --> 00:39:46,800
I'm like I don't know man
1070
00:39:46,833 --> 00:39:50,133
I I can't justify spending that kind of
1071
00:39:50,133 --> 00:39:52,866
money on a system. I know I won't play
1072
00:39:52,866 --> 00:39:54,566
very often you know like
1073
00:39:55,566 --> 00:39:56,866
Why does he have a second
1074
00:39:56,866 --> 00:39:57,966
switch? He's trying to scalp it
1075
00:39:57,966 --> 00:40:00,166
I think he was anticipating there was
1076
00:40:00,166 --> 00:40:02,233
gonna be that shortage that he could like
1077
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:04,466
profit from and he bought it and he's
1078
00:40:04,466 --> 00:40:06,566
Kind of I think he's regretting it now
1079
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:08,966
Good let him live with
1080
00:40:10,433 --> 00:40:11,366
All right
1081
00:40:11,766 --> 00:40:14,933
Yeah, I I do I really would like to play
1082
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:17,033
Mario Kart world, but I all from
1083
00:40:17,033 --> 00:40:18,966
everything I've seen I'm like it doesn't
1084
00:40:18,966 --> 00:40:20,233
really look that much
1085
00:40:20,233 --> 00:40:22,433
different or more fun or innovative
1086
00:40:23,699 --> 00:40:25,833
In fact a lot of the like novel things
1087
00:40:25,833 --> 00:40:28,000
about it. I've seen kind of turned me off
1088
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,500
from it like wall riding and stuff
1089
00:40:30,133 --> 00:40:32,199
Grinding I'm not like I don't know well
1090
00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:33,366
doesn't make a lot of sense
1091
00:40:33,366 --> 00:40:34,666
to me for a Mario Kart game I
1092
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:38,033
I kind of like those features, but
1093
00:40:38,033 --> 00:40:39,166
honestly unless you
1094
00:40:39,166 --> 00:40:41,333
unless you're like really like
1095
00:40:42,033 --> 00:40:44,033
Intimate with the map and that it's gonna
1096
00:40:44,033 --> 00:40:46,133
be hard to take advantage of like wall
1097
00:40:46,133 --> 00:40:47,666
riding and stuff hmm
1098
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:49,333
Yeah, I love some maps like
1099
00:40:49,333 --> 00:40:50,633
specifically designed for it
1100
00:40:50,633 --> 00:40:51,833
I don't think there are too many of this,
1101
00:40:51,833 --> 00:40:52,966
but I haven't played a
1102
00:40:52,966 --> 00:40:53,966
whole lot of my car world
1103
00:40:53,966 --> 00:40:57,300
So maybe I'm just hmm. Maybe I'm just a
1104
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,666
Mistaken hmm. I haven't even honestly
1105
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:01,800
man. I haven't even gotten to read. I
1106
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,233
haven't unlocked
1107
00:41:02,233 --> 00:41:04,033
rainbow road yet. Oh really?
1108
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,366
Yeah, that's how little I've played of
1109
00:41:06,366 --> 00:41:09,033
it. I probably should play more of it
1110
00:41:10,933 --> 00:41:13,433
Boy, I don't feel like I
1111
00:41:13,433 --> 00:41:14,599
don't feel like it yeah
1112
00:41:14,933 --> 00:41:16,966
See here's the thing. It's like I am a
1113
00:41:16,966 --> 00:41:19,466
huge Mario Kart fan. I love Mario Kart
1114
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:21,466
It's and I like I have
1115
00:41:21,466 --> 00:41:22,900
my switch like over here
1116
00:41:23,633 --> 00:41:25,333
And I haven't turned it on in ages
1117
00:41:25,333 --> 00:41:27,466
I've unlocked everything in Mario Kart 8
1118
00:41:27,466 --> 00:41:29,666
Deluxe like I mean they're
1119
00:41:29,666 --> 00:41:30,699
like the carts and everything
1120
00:41:31,666 --> 00:41:34,266
But like I don't I
1121
00:41:34,266 --> 00:41:35,466
haven't felt the need to go back
1122
00:41:35,466 --> 00:41:36,733
I never played online
1123
00:41:36,733 --> 00:41:38,133
like I'm not an online gamer
1124
00:41:38,133 --> 00:41:40,466
So I just like the big appeal of Mario
1125
00:41:40,466 --> 00:41:42,866
Kart world seems like playing online, and
1126
00:41:42,866 --> 00:41:45,066
I'm not interested in that so oh
1127
00:41:45,166 --> 00:41:46,966
Thankfully there is still split screen
1128
00:41:46,966 --> 00:41:50,066
like hmm. I brought yeah. I was visiting
1129
00:41:50,066 --> 00:41:51,633
my my brother's house
1130
00:41:51,633 --> 00:41:54,433
He has a lot of kids mm-hmm, and we all
1131
00:41:54,433 --> 00:41:55,766
of them work together, so I
1132
00:41:55,766 --> 00:41:57,266
set up my switch to played
1133
00:41:57,266 --> 00:41:59,166
No, it's a great time for them. Yeah
1134
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:00,833
Awesome. I mean that's
1135
00:42:00,833 --> 00:42:01,833
so I mean that's still
1136
00:42:02,233 --> 00:42:04,400
Probably the best appeal just playing
1137
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,033
with a bunch of kids hmm. Oh, yeah
1138
00:42:07,033 --> 00:42:10,333
Would be a lot of fun. Yeah, my nieces
1139
00:42:10,333 --> 00:42:11,566
and nephews of course of course
1140
00:42:11,566 --> 00:42:12,733
I didn't play there because I would just
1141
00:42:12,733 --> 00:42:16,233
I would totally demolish them right yeah
1142
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:21,199
Yeah, it is what it is. It's a lot better
1143
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:22,666
than what letting them
1144
00:42:22,666 --> 00:42:24,866
play robots all day for sure
1145
00:42:26,033 --> 00:42:27,033
Speaking of watching
1146
00:42:27,033 --> 00:42:28,366
people play video games
1147
00:42:29,666 --> 00:42:31,233
Streamers are apparently earning more
1148
00:42:31,233 --> 00:42:34,699
money playing games than devs make play
1149
00:42:34,699 --> 00:42:36,066
actually making the games
1150
00:42:36,766 --> 00:42:38,900
This is according to a
1151
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:40,199
Japanese indie developer
1152
00:42:41,699 --> 00:42:43,733
Can you shed some light on this high tech
1153
00:42:43,733 --> 00:42:47,833
this sounds very unfair almost so
1154
00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:52,199
There are concerns from Japanese devs
1155
00:42:52,199 --> 00:42:54,033
that indie devs that uh
1156
00:42:54,033 --> 00:42:55,633
streamers make a lot more money
1157
00:42:55,766 --> 00:42:57,599
from
1158
00:42:57,599 --> 00:42:58,633
streaming games
1159
00:42:59,766 --> 00:43:01,699
Then you know the developers do
1160
00:43:01,699 --> 00:43:04,166
themselves which yeah, I agree is totally
1161
00:43:04,166 --> 00:43:06,566
unfair like you didn't make the game
1162
00:43:06,566 --> 00:43:07,566
You're just kind of playing
1163
00:43:07,566 --> 00:43:10,300
it and like okay, all right
1164
00:43:10,300 --> 00:43:12,033
I was gonna get to go to a rant about
1165
00:43:12,033 --> 00:43:13,866
react content, but I also think react
1166
00:43:13,866 --> 00:43:15,866
content is super lazy as well
1167
00:43:16,066 --> 00:43:18,433
Yeah, that's why I don't tend to do it
1168
00:43:18,433 --> 00:43:20,133
unless we're doing like a live stream of
1169
00:43:20,133 --> 00:43:22,000
like a special event yeah
1170
00:43:22,666 --> 00:43:24,366
Yeah, something like yeah the game
1171
00:43:24,366 --> 00:43:26,666
awards. I tried to avoid react content
1172
00:43:26,666 --> 00:43:27,466
unless I feel like I
1173
00:43:27,466 --> 00:43:28,733
can add something to it
1174
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:32,500
So yeah for but for the most part yeah
1175
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:33,866
reacting is pretty lazy
1176
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:35,466
Yeah
1177
00:43:36,333 --> 00:43:39,066
That said there are I mean like
1178
00:43:39,699 --> 00:43:42,766
Some of it. I don't always agree some of
1179
00:43:42,766 --> 00:43:44,366
the discussions. I don't always agree
1180
00:43:44,366 --> 00:43:45,133
with like for example
1181
00:43:46,166 --> 00:43:49,599
Sometimes streamers can bring more money
1182
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:50,466
to a game especially
1183
00:43:50,466 --> 00:43:52,933
like remember among us yeah
1184
00:43:53,266 --> 00:43:56,099
Yeah, among us was a small game
1185
00:43:56,099 --> 00:43:57,533
It made a little bit of money, but I
1186
00:43:57,533 --> 00:43:58,833
don't think it made that much money and
1187
00:43:58,833 --> 00:44:00,833
then it wasn't super popular until
1188
00:44:01,766 --> 00:44:02,766
Streamers got a hold
1189
00:44:02,766 --> 00:44:04,233
of that game, and yeah
1190
00:44:05,066 --> 00:44:06,533
That's that right yeah
1191
00:44:07,766 --> 00:44:09,166
But the same time though. I
1192
00:44:09,166 --> 00:44:10,533
don't think it's reasonable for
1193
00:44:11,266 --> 00:44:13,333
Streamers to make more money off of a
1194
00:44:13,333 --> 00:44:14,333
single stream of playing a
1195
00:44:14,333 --> 00:44:16,033
game than a developer would
1196
00:44:18,333 --> 00:44:21,666
Yeah, I mean it's tough because it's like
1197
00:44:21,666 --> 00:44:24,633
I can see I could see like
1198
00:44:26,466 --> 00:44:30,199
Not really a royalty, but like I could
1199
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:32,666
see it feeling more fair if like
1200
00:44:32,666 --> 00:44:34,866
platforms like twitch or YouTube
1201
00:44:35,466 --> 00:44:39,599
Gave a cut of ad revenue to the
1202
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:41,266
developer. I don't feel like it's fair
1203
00:44:41,266 --> 00:44:42,866
for it to come out of the
1204
00:44:43,433 --> 00:44:45,866
What the streamer is earning though right
1205
00:44:45,866 --> 00:44:47,233
like it should come out of the platform
1206
00:44:47,233 --> 00:44:48,800
and not the streamer
1207
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:51,266
Yeah, but Amazon's not gonna do that
1208
00:44:51,266 --> 00:44:52,699
And it would turn to their precious
1209
00:44:52,699 --> 00:44:54,133
precious ad funds that
1210
00:44:54,133 --> 00:44:55,133
they're trying to shove down
1211
00:44:55,133 --> 00:44:57,166
Yeah, shove down at one's throats and
1212
00:44:57,166 --> 00:44:58,766
plus they are cutting money from the
1213
00:44:58,766 --> 00:45:00,199
streamers anyways. Yeah, they are
1214
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:02,266
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like
1215
00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:05,033
as as a content creator. It's like if I
1216
00:45:05,033 --> 00:45:06,500
wanted to highlight a game
1217
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:09,866
That game that I love or whatever it
1218
00:45:10,266 --> 00:45:12,166
It wouldn't make sense for me to have to
1219
00:45:12,166 --> 00:45:15,133
pay to highlight it right and that's why
1220
00:45:15,133 --> 00:45:16,433
and especially because
1221
00:45:16,699 --> 00:45:18,533
YouTube and twitch are
1222
00:45:18,533 --> 00:45:21,566
screwing over creators right now
1223
00:45:22,566 --> 00:45:24,766
It feels like it should be they should be
1224
00:45:24,766 --> 00:45:26,066
forced somehow to like
1225
00:45:26,066 --> 00:45:28,500
to for them to make the
1226
00:45:28,966 --> 00:45:31,633
Payments to developers, you know, yeah,
1227
00:45:31,633 --> 00:45:32,966
so there's a quote a little
1228
00:45:32,966 --> 00:45:34,266
bit further down on your screen
1229
00:45:34,266 --> 00:45:35,199
Now it says a famous
1230
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:36,733
streamer played the game I made
1231
00:45:36,866 --> 00:45:38,800
But despite their streaming getting
1232
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,199
hundreds of thousands of
1233
00:45:40,199 --> 00:45:41,266
views in just one night
1234
00:45:41,266 --> 00:45:43,466
They didn't include a link to to a game
1235
00:45:43,466 --> 00:45:45,466
They didn't include a link to a game to
1236
00:45:45,466 --> 00:45:47,066
my game of the video description and it
1237
00:45:47,066 --> 00:45:48,233
didn't have any
1238
00:45:48,233 --> 00:45:49,366
positive impact on the game
1239
00:45:49,366 --> 00:45:51,633
Sales they just got a free ride from my
1240
00:45:51,633 --> 00:45:53,199
game made a quick buck and that's it
1241
00:45:54,133 --> 00:45:55,500
Supposedly this quote-unquote live
1242
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:56,333
streamer had two
1243
00:45:56,333 --> 00:45:57,733
million subs at the time. So
1244
00:45:59,266 --> 00:45:59,866
I mean
1245
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,433
Did did they get a free ride though? I
1246
00:46:03,433 --> 00:46:05,533
mean like if they bought the game or if
1247
00:46:05,533 --> 00:46:06,966
the developer gave them a key
1248
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,766
Like that's not really a free ride
1249
00:46:10,033 --> 00:46:12,933
But I don't know I can understand feeling
1250
00:46:12,933 --> 00:46:14,933
a little like it feels
1251
00:46:14,933 --> 00:46:16,199
unfair to the developer though
1252
00:46:16,266 --> 00:46:18,166
Well, I think if they gave him
1253
00:46:18,166 --> 00:46:20,000
a key then you should have to
1254
00:46:20,699 --> 00:46:23,066
At least provide a link, right? Yeah, I
1255
00:46:23,066 --> 00:46:24,766
would think yeah, I would think that too
1256
00:46:24,833 --> 00:46:26,900
I think it's just general courtesy
1257
00:46:26,900 --> 00:46:28,066
because I know a lot of people
1258
00:46:29,366 --> 00:46:31,633
And a lot of people are curious about
1259
00:46:32,333 --> 00:46:33,966
What games I play in
1260
00:46:33,966 --> 00:46:35,966
my own videos like I?
1261
00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:37,566
Usually label them, but I kind of forgot
1262
00:46:37,566 --> 00:46:40,000
to label some games. I played in a recent
1263
00:46:40,366 --> 00:46:43,166
Review I did for like a controller and I
1264
00:46:43,166 --> 00:46:44,733
had a ton of questions asking. Oh, what
1265
00:46:44,733 --> 00:46:46,133
game did they play at this timestamp?
1266
00:46:46,133 --> 00:46:48,900
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I always try. I
1267
00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:50,733
always try I forget sometimes
1268
00:46:51,333 --> 00:46:54,066
Yeah, you know the thing is one of the
1269
00:46:54,066 --> 00:46:55,933
things that I have found is like
1270
00:46:56,333 --> 00:46:58,566
There's a lot more incentive for me to
1271
00:46:58,566 --> 00:47:00,699
remember to put links to games
1272
00:47:01,033 --> 00:47:05,500
If I can like link to humble or another
1273
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:07,133
site that has affiliate
1274
00:47:08,166 --> 00:47:10,266
Promotions, right? That makes sense. So
1275
00:47:10,266 --> 00:47:13,233
if if if you're worried about that
1276
00:47:13,866 --> 00:47:15,300
You know as a developer
1277
00:47:15,766 --> 00:47:16,733
Put your game on
1278
00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:17,966
humble put your game on GOG
1279
00:47:18,666 --> 00:47:19,333
give
1280
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,333
The the streamers the incentive to link
1281
00:47:23,333 --> 00:47:24,566
to your game because then they can make
1282
00:47:24,566 --> 00:47:26,099
money from it if they have a huge
1283
00:47:26,266 --> 00:47:28,366
Following then they have an incentive to
1284
00:47:28,366 --> 00:47:30,633
be like hey use my affiliate link below
1285
00:47:30,633 --> 00:47:33,233
and buy the game you get a cut like it
1286
00:47:33,766 --> 00:47:36,666
That feels like the most fair way to do
1287
00:47:36,666 --> 00:47:38,500
this because then you know
1288
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:40,733
If you make a shitty game that someone's
1289
00:47:40,733 --> 00:47:42,733
playing just to make fun of
1290
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,933
Then you don't deserve to like make money
1291
00:47:46,933 --> 00:47:48,233
if your game is crap, you
1292
00:47:48,233 --> 00:47:48,900
know what I'm saying like
1293
00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:52,633
It but if you make a good game and the
1294
00:47:52,633 --> 00:47:53,733
streamer makes it appealing
1295
00:47:53,733 --> 00:47:56,166
to people for them to you know
1296
00:47:56,166 --> 00:47:58,533
And the streamer can make a little side
1297
00:47:58,533 --> 00:48:02,033
money from an affiliate link that that
1298
00:48:02,033 --> 00:48:03,666
seems like the virtuous cycle that
1299
00:48:04,566 --> 00:48:06,800
Many of us already benefit from you know
1300
00:48:07,633 --> 00:48:10,333
Yeah, also, it's in the game the
1301
00:48:10,333 --> 00:48:12,766
thumbnail the game they used. It's a let
1302
00:48:12,766 --> 00:48:13,933
these it's hilarious
1303
00:48:13,966 --> 00:48:16,733
That game right there, I know where it
1304
00:48:16,733 --> 00:48:18,533
is. It's called needy streamer overload
1305
00:48:18,533 --> 00:48:20,166
is hilarious. Oh, really?
1306
00:48:21,133 --> 00:48:22,199
yeah, so basically you
1307
00:48:22,199 --> 00:48:23,933
it's a stream it's like a
1308
00:48:24,233 --> 00:48:25,966
simulator sort of like streaming
1309
00:48:25,966 --> 00:48:28,333
simulator where you like raise a
1310
00:48:29,066 --> 00:48:30,599
you make a
1311
00:48:30,966 --> 00:48:34,833
girl, I'm a chant a streamer and
1312
00:48:34,833 --> 00:48:35,800
Oh my god
1313
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,633
There's a lot of like different endings
1314
00:48:37,633 --> 00:48:39,300
and different like types of streams you
1315
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,966
can do and like ways you can I think one
1316
00:48:41,966 --> 00:48:42,566
of them was like you
1317
00:48:42,566 --> 00:48:43,500
can turn them to like a
1318
00:48:44,166 --> 00:48:44,833
cult leader
1319
00:48:46,033 --> 00:48:48,766
Dude, it's awesome. It's so funny. You
1320
00:48:48,766 --> 00:48:51,266
need to check it out. Did okay? What's it
1321
00:48:51,266 --> 00:48:53,833
called needy streamer overload?
1322
00:48:54,766 --> 00:48:58,333
Nice, dude, it's it is insane though
1323
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,033
Needy streamer. Yeah
1324
00:49:04,166 --> 00:49:05,533
But it's also like kind of
1325
00:49:05,533 --> 00:49:07,566
dark in many ways to yeah
1326
00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:12,766
Despite all the pastel pink, it's one of
1327
00:49:12,766 --> 00:49:14,033
those games. Yeah, I
1328
00:49:14,033 --> 00:49:15,233
like the kind of retro
1329
00:49:16,133 --> 00:49:18,566
vibe of the UI here
1330
00:49:21,033 --> 00:49:25,733
Interesting conspiracy theories that's oh
1331
00:49:25,733 --> 00:49:26,599
She's and she also
1332
00:49:26,599 --> 00:49:28,966
takes drugs to make her
1333
00:49:30,466 --> 00:49:32,033
Interesting that's going on my wish list
1334
00:49:32,033 --> 00:49:33,833
too. Oh, I'm not signed in
1335
00:49:33,833 --> 00:49:35,433
I'm on the browser, but yeah
1336
00:49:35,433 --> 00:49:35,466
You know
1337
00:49:35,466 --> 00:49:41,000
Nice 15 16 bucks that's not bad either
1338
00:49:43,933 --> 00:49:44,166
Well
1339
00:49:47,733 --> 00:49:50,033
Dude I don't know what else
1340
00:49:50,033 --> 00:49:51,733
about this story anything else
1341
00:49:52,766 --> 00:49:53,833
Nothing in particular
1342
00:49:54,533 --> 00:49:56,166
Just think it'd be interesting to talk
1343
00:49:56,166 --> 00:49:58,733
about because I mean some parts I agree
1344
00:49:58,733 --> 00:50:00,533
with some I don't agree with. Mm-hmm
1345
00:50:00,566 --> 00:50:05,366
Yeah, I mean, I would say some of... I'm
1346
00:50:05,366 --> 00:50:07,833
sympathetic to both sides of this as a
1347
00:50:07,833 --> 00:50:09,833
game developer and as a content creator.
1348
00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:15,166
And I think, like, on the one hand, it
1349
00:50:15,166 --> 00:50:17,366
makes sense. It's a little more fair. But
1350
00:50:17,366 --> 00:50:18,266
like I said, there's...
1351
00:50:19,333 --> 00:50:21,933
There are ways that aren't, you know,
1352
00:50:22,633 --> 00:50:26,566
bordering on extortion in order to get to
1353
00:50:26,566 --> 00:50:29,166
make revenue from your game.
1354
00:50:29,699 --> 00:50:32,233
And speaking of extortion, tariffs.
1355
00:50:33,733 --> 00:50:34,666
[laughs]
1356
00:50:34,766 --> 00:50:37,133
So postal services around the world...
1357
00:50:37,733 --> 00:50:40,433
That was a terrible segue. I was really
1358
00:50:40,433 --> 00:50:41,533
stretching for that one.
1359
00:50:43,433 --> 00:50:43,599
[laughs]
1360
00:50:43,766 --> 00:50:45,900
Postal services around the world are
1361
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:47,366
suspending deliveries to the United
1362
00:50:47,366 --> 00:50:49,233
States because of tariffs.
1363
00:50:50,533 --> 00:50:54,866
And also they also removed a... They also
1364
00:50:54,866 --> 00:50:57,800
patched a rule out where you can ship
1365
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:58,933
stuff that's worth
1366
00:50:58,933 --> 00:51:00,833
less than $800 for free.
1367
00:51:00,866 --> 00:51:02,333
Yeah, the de minimis rule.
1368
00:51:03,033 --> 00:51:06,333
Yes. And that was probably the backbone
1369
00:51:06,333 --> 00:51:09,666
of importing businesses in
1370
00:51:09,666 --> 00:51:11,966
America. Like Teemu, for example.
1371
00:51:13,533 --> 00:51:17,133
Yeah. I'm of two minds about it. Stuff
1372
00:51:17,133 --> 00:51:18,266
like Teemu, like the
1373
00:51:18,266 --> 00:51:20,199
absolute dregs, the cheapest.
1374
00:51:20,866 --> 00:51:26,233
I'm not gonna weep for Teemu, but I will
1375
00:51:26,233 --> 00:51:28,699
say that this is going to be even more
1376
00:51:28,699 --> 00:51:33,433
disruptive and even more inflationary.
1377
00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:38,099
I think Teemu has to live if we want a
1378
00:51:38,099 --> 00:51:39,133
market that doesn't
1379
00:51:39,133 --> 00:51:40,733
suck ass, to be honest.
1380
00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:44,266
I'm not a fan of it either, but I mean, I
1381
00:51:44,266 --> 00:51:45,500
know I made a video about Teemu a while
1382
00:51:45,500 --> 00:51:47,900
back, but like I said it
1383
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:49,866
was, you get what you paid for.
1384
00:51:50,166 --> 00:51:50,366
Yeah.
1385
00:51:51,033 --> 00:51:51,833
Yeah, but anyways.
1386
00:51:53,699 --> 00:51:57,033
So many countries, see, service in 22
1387
00:51:57,033 --> 00:51:59,233
European countries, including the UK,
1388
00:51:59,699 --> 00:52:03,366
France, Germany, Italy, the big ones, has
1389
00:52:03,366 --> 00:52:04,233
suspended deliveries.
1390
00:52:04,533 --> 00:52:07,066
And it's not just Europeans, it's also
1391
00:52:07,066 --> 00:52:10,166
Asian countries as well. Australia, New
1392
00:52:10,166 --> 00:52:12,000
Zealand, Japan, South Korea,
1393
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,066
Taiwan, and many more as well.
1394
00:52:16,566 --> 00:52:16,766
Wow.
1395
00:52:16,766 --> 00:52:18,666
Is this the end of importing cool stuff
1396
00:52:18,666 --> 00:52:21,033
from Japan to the US?
1397
00:52:21,366 --> 00:52:23,566
Dude, it could possibly be, yeah.
1398
00:52:24,066 --> 00:52:26,033
Oh no, I have to spend over
1399
00:52:26,033 --> 00:52:27,966
$800 for it to make sense.
1400
00:52:29,533 --> 00:52:33,599
Well, I mean, I think basically removing
1401
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:35,366
the de minimis rule means that you have
1402
00:52:35,366 --> 00:52:41,233
to pay duties on anything, any good
1403
00:52:41,233 --> 00:52:43,133
that's coming in from abroad.
1404
00:52:43,733 --> 00:52:46,666
So what the de minimis rule was, I could
1405
00:52:46,666 --> 00:52:47,933
be wrong about this, but my understanding
1406
00:52:47,933 --> 00:52:51,366
is that if you bought something that cost
1407
00:52:51,366 --> 00:52:52,933
less than $800 or was
1408
00:52:52,933 --> 00:52:53,933
valued less than $800,
1409
00:52:54,733 --> 00:52:56,766
then it was essentially duty free, which
1410
00:52:56,766 --> 00:53:00,333
meant that you didn't have to pay taxes
1411
00:53:00,333 --> 00:53:03,566
or what's the word, not shipping and
1412
00:53:03,566 --> 00:53:08,333
handling taxes, import tariffs.
1413
00:53:08,333 --> 00:53:09,533
I don't know, something like that.
1414
00:53:09,866 --> 00:53:14,533
Anyway, but now, letters, according to
1415
00:53:14,533 --> 00:53:16,000
this, letters and personal gifts under
1416
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,933
$100 will still
1417
00:53:16,933 --> 00:53:18,333
technically be exempt from tariffs.
1418
00:53:19,533 --> 00:53:21,800
But some services have suspended all US
1419
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,233
postage of goods and others have
1420
00:53:23,233 --> 00:53:25,066
suspended postage to the US entirely.
1421
00:53:25,699 --> 00:53:27,099
What counts as a personal gift?
1422
00:53:27,833 --> 00:53:30,566
Like, you send something to your pen pal
1423
00:53:30,566 --> 00:53:33,366
in Korea or something like that?
1424
00:53:33,633 --> 00:53:36,433
I would imagine, or something that costs
1425
00:53:36,433 --> 00:53:37,866
less than $100 maybe.
1426
00:53:39,066 --> 00:53:41,033
What if I built a gaming PC and I just
1427
00:53:41,033 --> 00:53:42,266
declared it as under $100?
1428
00:53:42,966 --> 00:53:43,466
Well, that would
1429
00:53:43,466 --> 00:53:45,166
probably be against the law.
1430
00:53:46,533 --> 00:53:48,633
True that.
1431
00:53:49,166 --> 00:53:49,366
Yeah.
1432
00:53:50,733 --> 00:53:53,366
Man, I mean, it just goes to show how
1433
00:53:53,366 --> 00:53:58,800
entirely fragile stable democracies are.
1434
00:54:00,566 --> 00:54:02,233
Like, not to get too deep into the
1435
00:54:02,233 --> 00:54:04,766
politics, but I mean, all it takes is
1436
00:54:04,766 --> 00:54:07,333
like, you know, just a few little nudges
1437
00:54:07,333 --> 00:54:10,566
and some like, a lot of uncertainty.
1438
00:54:11,533 --> 00:54:13,566
And suddenly you can't receive mail from
1439
00:54:13,566 --> 00:54:14,266
your friends abroad.
1440
00:54:14,566 --> 00:54:17,000
You know, you can't ship packages.
1441
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:19,066
You can't order things
1442
00:54:19,066 --> 00:54:22,099
from outside the country.
1443
00:54:22,366 --> 00:54:23,866
It's like, it just, it
1444
00:54:23,866 --> 00:54:25,300
boggles the mind, you know?
1445
00:54:26,333 --> 00:54:28,066
Ah, quite sub, man.
1446
00:54:28,066 --> 00:54:31,433
I mean, I don't know what to make of it
1447
00:54:31,433 --> 00:54:33,166
besides it's gonna mess everything up.
1448
00:54:33,433 --> 00:54:35,233
Things are gonna be more expensive again.
1449
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:37,900
More expensive? Inflationary, right?
1450
00:54:38,533 --> 00:54:39,400
Inflationary?
1451
00:54:39,666 --> 00:54:41,866
Yeah, it's just, it's no good.
1452
00:54:43,566 --> 00:54:45,333
Consoles are gonna go up in price again.
1453
00:54:45,533 --> 00:54:46,566
Yep.
1454
00:54:46,566 --> 00:54:47,066
Yep.
1455
00:54:47,066 --> 00:54:48,266
I don't know, man.
1456
00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:50,166
Scary times.
1457
00:54:50,566 --> 00:54:52,300
I don't know what else to say about that.
1458
00:54:53,266 --> 00:54:54,166
Lots of scary things
1459
00:54:54,166 --> 00:54:55,300
happening at once, man.
1460
00:54:55,733 --> 00:54:55,933
Yeah.
1461
00:54:57,533 --> 00:55:01,133
Speaking of uncertainty, the UK Online
1462
00:55:01,133 --> 00:55:03,866
Safety Act is now being applied on Steam.
1463
00:55:06,533 --> 00:55:11,633
Basically, Steam is now requiring any
1464
00:55:11,633 --> 00:55:15,599
users in the UK to verify their age.
1465
00:55:15,966 --> 00:55:16,833
How is this going down?
1466
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,166
So, they're doing it in
1467
00:55:19,166 --> 00:55:20,599
a roundabout sort of way.
1468
00:55:21,166 --> 00:55:23,966
Because in the UK, you have to be 18 plus
1469
00:55:23,966 --> 00:55:25,199
to have a credit card, right?
1470
00:55:26,166 --> 00:55:27,966
So, rather than doing it themselves,
1471
00:55:28,433 --> 00:55:29,866
Valve did the smart thing and just made
1472
00:55:29,866 --> 00:55:30,766
it so that you had to have a
1473
00:55:30,766 --> 00:55:32,533
credit card on your account.
1474
00:55:33,533 --> 00:55:35,966
Therefore, making the credit card
1475
00:55:35,966 --> 00:55:41,000
companies the ones liable for
1476
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,766
verifying your age and stuff.
1477
00:55:46,333 --> 00:55:48,766
So, basically, you need a credit card
1478
00:55:48,766 --> 00:55:52,599
with a valid credit card number, a CVV,
1479
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:53,900
expiry date, and name
1480
00:55:53,900 --> 00:55:54,766
and billing address.
1481
00:55:56,533 --> 00:55:58,466
Interesting.
1482
00:55:58,766 --> 00:56:04,333
So, I guess they're not really trying to
1483
00:56:04,333 --> 00:56:07,533
validate that the person who's inputting
1484
00:56:07,533 --> 00:56:10,500
the name and the credit card information
1485
00:56:10,500 --> 00:56:13,166
is the same person on
1486
00:56:13,166 --> 00:56:14,466
the credit card, right?
1487
00:56:14,766 --> 00:56:15,933
Is that what they're not
1488
00:56:15,933 --> 00:56:17,166
really trying to verify that?
1489
00:56:17,566 --> 00:56:18,533
I don't think so.
1490
00:56:18,533 --> 00:56:19,599
In fact, I don't even think there's a
1491
00:56:19,599 --> 00:56:21,533
place to put your real name on your Steam
1492
00:56:21,533 --> 00:56:22,633
account, aside from your
1493
00:56:22,633 --> 00:56:23,466
billing address, right?
1494
00:56:23,733 --> 00:56:24,033
Right.
1495
00:56:24,633 --> 00:56:25,766
So, no, I don't think
1496
00:56:25,766 --> 00:56:27,466
they're not trying for real.
1497
00:56:28,466 --> 00:56:29,633
Yeah, this just seems like
1498
00:56:29,633 --> 00:56:30,800
they're trying to get around it.
1499
00:56:31,133 --> 00:56:32,366
Which, I mean, good for them.
1500
00:56:32,633 --> 00:56:35,633
Like, you know, this... it does not make
1501
00:56:35,633 --> 00:56:36,400
sense... I said this when
1502
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:37,300
we talked about it before.
1503
00:56:37,666 --> 00:56:40,066
Like, it doesn't make sense to me that
1504
00:56:40,066 --> 00:56:43,033
the government can pass a law that
1505
00:56:43,033 --> 00:56:48,300
requires private companies to collect and
1506
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:51,733
store even more private, you know,
1507
00:56:51,933 --> 00:56:53,133
personally identifiable information.
1508
00:56:53,566 --> 00:56:55,833
Like, that... it's a liability for the
1509
00:56:55,833 --> 00:56:59,866
companies to store that information.
1510
00:57:00,633 --> 00:57:02,433
And, like, if the government wants to do
1511
00:57:02,433 --> 00:57:04,733
this, then they should have to have their
1512
00:57:04,733 --> 00:57:08,199
own system that Steam or whoever can ping
1513
00:57:08,199 --> 00:57:11,066
against to validate your age and identity
1514
00:57:11,066 --> 00:57:12,566
and other credentials, you know?
1515
00:57:13,666 --> 00:57:14,933
Maybe this is the way
1516
00:57:14,933 --> 00:57:16,066
to do age verification.
1517
00:57:16,333 --> 00:57:17,933
I know we were discussing how the best
1518
00:57:17,933 --> 00:57:18,866
way to go about doing,
1519
00:57:18,866 --> 00:57:20,233
like, age verification stuff.
1520
00:57:20,533 --> 00:57:23,966
Maybe this is the best way, because, I
1521
00:57:23,966 --> 00:57:25,266
mean, banks kind of have to have their
1522
00:57:25,266 --> 00:57:27,066
information anyways to, like,
1523
00:57:27,266 --> 00:57:28,500
do any sort of banking, right?
1524
00:57:29,666 --> 00:57:32,266
They do. But I don't think there's an age
1525
00:57:32,266 --> 00:57:33,666
requirement in the U.S.
1526
00:57:33,666 --> 00:57:34,699
to have a credit card.
1527
00:57:36,266 --> 00:57:38,699
Yeah, that's true. This wouldn't really
1528
00:57:38,699 --> 00:57:40,800
work in the U.S. because, I mean, I
1529
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,766
remember seeing people in, like, middle
1530
00:57:42,766 --> 00:57:44,800
and high school having their names on
1531
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,533
credit cards, so, like...
1532
00:57:47,566 --> 00:57:48,166
Yeah, I know. They're
1533
00:57:48,166 --> 00:57:50,033
really spoiled, but, like...
1534
00:57:50,833 --> 00:57:53,833
Yeah, it makes sense, though, that this
1535
00:57:53,833 --> 00:57:55,366
wouldn't really work in the U.S.
1536
00:57:55,533 --> 00:57:56,733
Actually, you know what, though?
1537
00:57:57,500 --> 00:58:00,066
In order to access Steam store pages for
1538
00:58:00,066 --> 00:58:04,000
mature content games, you'll need to be
1539
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,066
logged in to an active user account and
1540
00:58:06,066 --> 00:58:07,766
explicitly opt in through the account
1541
00:58:07,766 --> 00:58:09,133
settings page for U.K. users.
1542
00:58:09,566 --> 00:58:11,466
This opt-in process requires age
1543
00:58:11,466 --> 00:58:13,766
verification. Your U.K. Steam user
1544
00:58:13,766 --> 00:58:17,099
account is considered age verified for as
1545
00:58:17,099 --> 00:58:18,333
long as a valid credit
1546
00:58:18,333 --> 00:58:19,866
card is stored on the account.
1547
00:58:20,466 --> 00:58:21,866
But this is interesting because it's a
1548
00:58:21,866 --> 00:58:24,900
credit card, right? So, if you don't have
1549
00:58:24,900 --> 00:58:27,966
a credit card, then you can't access
1550
00:58:27,966 --> 00:58:29,400
mature content in the U.K.
1551
00:58:30,466 --> 00:58:31,400
That's what Valve is saying.
1552
00:58:31,933 --> 00:58:33,533
I guess so, yeah, I guess...
1553
00:58:33,533 --> 00:58:38,599
I mean, I'm curious if the U.S. has age
1554
00:58:38,599 --> 00:58:41,966
requirements for a credit card.
1555
00:58:43,033 --> 00:58:45,633
I think to actually open up your own
1556
00:58:45,633 --> 00:58:48,333
credit card account, you have to be of
1557
00:58:48,333 --> 00:58:50,933
age, but, like, if you have an account
1558
00:58:50,933 --> 00:58:52,233
and you want to, like, give your kid
1559
00:58:52,233 --> 00:58:55,099
access to that card with their name on
1560
00:58:55,099 --> 00:58:58,933
that card, then I think you can add your
1561
00:58:58,933 --> 00:59:00,066
kid as an authorized user.
1562
00:59:01,033 --> 00:59:03,666
But I don't think kids can actually open
1563
00:59:03,666 --> 00:59:05,666
their own credit cards, so to speak. So
1564
00:59:05,666 --> 00:59:06,833
it would still be under, like, their
1565
00:59:06,833 --> 00:59:07,766
parents' name and stuff.
1566
00:59:08,233 --> 00:59:10,699
True. Yeah, so the minimum age to open a
1567
00:59:10,699 --> 00:59:12,566
credit card as the primary account holder
1568
00:59:12,566 --> 00:59:15,833
is 18. So, okay. So that would work in
1569
00:59:15,833 --> 00:59:17,900
the U.S. if Steam wanted to do that.
1570
00:59:18,366 --> 00:59:19,800
Scroll down. I want to see this minimum
1571
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,666
age to be an
1572
00:59:20,666 --> 00:59:21,866
authorized user on credit cards.
1573
00:59:23,066 --> 00:59:23,533
13. Okay.
1574
00:59:23,533 --> 00:59:29,533
So basically, half of the banks listed
1575
00:59:29,533 --> 00:59:31,500
here don't have a minimum age, so you
1576
00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:32,666
can, like, make a credit card for your
1577
00:59:32,666 --> 00:59:33,733
infant if you wanted to.
1578
00:59:35,966 --> 00:59:37,433
But if you want to use the good shit,
1579
00:59:37,433 --> 00:59:40,900
like American Express, then you've got to
1580
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:41,833
be at least a teenager.
1581
00:59:42,533 --> 00:59:46,566
Yeah. Discover in U.S. bank also 15 and
1582
00:59:46,566 --> 00:59:49,866
16 years old, respectively. But then Bank
1583
00:59:49,866 --> 00:59:52,633
of America Capital One Chase, Citi, and
1584
00:59:52,633 --> 00:59:54,366
Wells Fargo have no age requirement.
1585
00:59:57,533 --> 01:00:00,766
That is interesting. You have to be 13 to
1586
01:00:00,766 --> 01:00:03,333
use your dad's MX black.
1587
01:00:05,566 --> 01:00:09,333
Also, Chase Sapphire Reserve has a $795
1588
01:00:09,333 --> 01:00:12,366
annual fee and charges an extra $195
1589
01:00:12,366 --> 01:00:16,766
annually for each additional card. Wow.
1590
01:00:20,533 --> 01:00:21,933
I don't know much about credit cards, to
1591
01:00:21,933 --> 01:00:24,533
be honest. I only have a few, but...
1592
01:00:24,900 --> 01:00:27,666
Yeah, I have, like, four. Two of them are
1593
01:00:27,666 --> 01:00:31,166
business cards. And I'll tell you, the
1594
01:00:31,166 --> 01:00:32,133
business ones were a
1595
01:00:32,133 --> 01:00:33,133
hassle to get set up.
1596
01:00:34,933 --> 01:00:35,566
What are they, MX?
1597
01:00:37,266 --> 01:00:39,366
One of them is Chase, Inc., which is
1598
01:00:39,366 --> 01:00:40,233
business, and I don't
1599
01:00:40,233 --> 01:00:41,033
remember what the other one is.
1600
01:00:41,599 --> 01:00:41,800
Oh.
1601
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:44,733
But, yeah, like, I have, like, an $8,000
1602
01:00:44,733 --> 01:00:46,433
limit, credit limit on
1603
01:00:46,433 --> 01:00:47,733
the business one, which...
1604
01:00:48,733 --> 01:00:50,533
$8,000 doesn't sound like a whole lot.
1605
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,833
No, it doesn't. But, and the crazy thing
1606
01:00:52,833 --> 01:00:55,400
is, dude, my credit score is, like, an
1607
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,166
$840 or something. It's as high as...it's
1608
01:00:58,166 --> 01:00:59,533
almost as high as it can possibly get.
1609
01:00:59,533 --> 01:01:02,266
And they still, like, banks are
1610
01:01:02,266 --> 01:01:03,833
turn...like, turned me down for a loan
1611
01:01:03,833 --> 01:01:05,466
when I wanted to buy this house, even
1612
01:01:05,466 --> 01:01:07,466
though I had, like, an 800...at the time,
1613
01:01:07,466 --> 01:01:07,933
I think it was, like,
1614
01:01:07,933 --> 01:01:09,033
an 810 credit score.
1615
01:01:10,866 --> 01:01:12,233
I mean, that's self-employed.
1616
01:01:13,766 --> 01:01:15,133
Yeah, they don't trust self-employed
1617
01:01:15,133 --> 01:01:15,800
people. They just think
1618
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:16,466
they're money laundering.
1619
01:01:16,966 --> 01:01:18,266
Yeah. Even though...dude, even though,
1620
01:01:18,266 --> 01:01:20,433
like, I have perfect credit,
1621
01:01:20,433 --> 01:01:23,099
it's insane. Anyway. Anyway.
1622
01:01:24,533 --> 01:01:26,800
So, but the fact is, so if you're in the
1623
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,599
UK and you want to, like, play
1624
01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:31,166
mature-rated games on your Steam account,
1625
01:01:31,833 --> 01:01:34,900
or buy them, I guess, or see the store
1626
01:01:34,900 --> 01:01:37,266
content, you have to have a
1627
01:01:37,266 --> 01:01:39,533
credit card on file with Steam.
1628
01:01:39,533 --> 01:01:41,000
Even if you want to pay for your games
1629
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,133
with a debit card, it seems
1630
01:01:44,133 --> 01:01:45,800
like you need a credit card.
1631
01:01:47,300 --> 01:01:48,766
I don't know. How do you feel about that?
1632
01:01:49,566 --> 01:01:52,466
What's stopping someone from either, A,
1633
01:01:52,466 --> 01:01:53,866
like, stealing their credit cards, or
1634
01:01:53,866 --> 01:01:55,066
just have it out on there?
1635
01:01:55,533 --> 01:01:55,833
Mm-hmm.
1636
01:01:56,233 --> 01:01:57,633
Or, B, using, like, one of those
1637
01:01:57,633 --> 01:01:59,599
services, like, privacy? You know what
1638
01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:00,333
I'm talking about, right?
1639
01:02:00,533 --> 01:02:02,833
Yeah. Well, I think privacy.com, I don't
1640
01:02:02,833 --> 01:02:05,766
think they issue, like, card numbers that
1641
01:02:05,766 --> 01:02:07,233
register as credit cards.
1642
01:02:08,933 --> 01:02:09,366
Oh, what do they
1643
01:02:09,366 --> 01:02:10,566
register as? Like, gift cards?
1644
01:02:10,566 --> 01:02:12,966
They register as...maybe gift cards,
1645
01:02:12,966 --> 01:02:14,733
maybe debit cards, but I don't think they
1646
01:02:14,733 --> 01:02:16,433
show up as credit. The
1647
01:02:16,433 --> 01:02:17,266
brink got back to us.
1648
01:02:18,533 --> 01:02:19,599
Oh, did he? What did he say?
1649
01:02:19,933 --> 01:02:21,266
He said, "Maybe, but my
1650
01:02:21,266 --> 01:02:22,599
wife definitely will."
1651
01:02:22,900 --> 01:02:24,900
Oh, no, his wife's definitely gonna drop
1652
01:02:24,900 --> 01:02:26,400
everything for Silksong.
1653
01:02:27,933 --> 01:02:28,266
Dude...
1654
01:02:30,633 --> 01:02:32,266
That's funny. I know, I
1655
01:02:32,266 --> 01:02:33,433
don't think Emily ever played...
1656
01:02:34,433 --> 01:02:37,500
I don't think Emily ever played Hollow
1657
01:02:37,500 --> 01:02:38,433
Knight, but I think she
1658
01:02:38,433 --> 01:02:39,566
would probably enjoy it.
1659
01:02:40,633 --> 01:02:41,433
Do you think she's gonna
1660
01:02:41,433 --> 01:02:42,599
drop everything for Silksong?
1661
01:02:43,333 --> 01:02:43,599
No.
1662
01:02:45,366 --> 01:02:45,633
I don't.
1663
01:02:45,633 --> 01:02:46,066
Not like so.
1664
01:02:46,566 --> 01:02:47,500
Not with that attitude.
1665
01:02:50,533 --> 01:02:52,433
I think she would enjoy
1666
01:02:52,433 --> 01:02:53,699
it, though. She likes, um...
1667
01:02:55,266 --> 01:02:57,633
She liked, um...what's the, um...
1668
01:02:59,433 --> 01:02:59,866
What's the one?
1669
01:03:02,366 --> 01:03:04,666
She...Hades. She likes Hades. They're
1670
01:03:04,666 --> 01:03:06,133
almost kinda similar, maybe.
1671
01:03:07,666 --> 01:03:07,866
What?
1672
01:03:09,366 --> 01:03:10,000
Those are not.
1673
01:03:10,300 --> 01:03:11,333
No, you don't think so?
1674
01:03:11,333 --> 01:03:13,266
They're...they're...they're
1675
01:03:13,266 --> 01:03:13,533
kinda similar.
1676
01:03:14,533 --> 01:03:17,199
They're kinda roguelike. I mean, well, I
1677
01:03:17,199 --> 01:03:18,966
guess not. I guess Hollow Knight can.
1678
01:03:18,966 --> 01:03:20,933
No, Hollow Knight's not roguelike. But
1679
01:03:20,933 --> 01:03:22,300
the only way they're similar is that they
1680
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:23,966
probably run great on the Steam Deck.
1681
01:03:24,433 --> 01:03:26,633
That's true. That is true.
1682
01:03:27,633 --> 01:03:29,466
And, yeah, speaking of the Steam Deck...
1683
01:03:30,066 --> 01:03:30,433
Ooh.
1684
01:03:31,533 --> 01:03:31,966
PC Handpelt.
1685
01:03:32,933 --> 01:03:33,666
They're out of control.
1686
01:03:35,366 --> 01:03:36,666
More specifically, the
1687
01:03:36,666 --> 01:03:37,533
prices are out of control.
1688
01:03:38,533 --> 01:03:41,733
What, uh...what's up with
1689
01:03:41,733 --> 01:03:43,766
this? We've got some, uh...
1690
01:03:44,066 --> 01:03:47,133
crazy new handhelds? Or are they just old
1691
01:03:47,133 --> 01:03:48,500
ones getting increased?
1692
01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:52,166
Um, well, no. The only one that...the
1693
01:03:52,166 --> 01:03:53,066
only handheld that got an
1694
01:03:53,066 --> 01:03:55,866
actual increase was the Switch One.
1695
01:03:56,500 --> 01:03:57,066
Uh, but...
1696
01:03:58,366 --> 01:03:59,866
But, no, they're just talking about how
1697
01:03:59,866 --> 01:04:02,866
expensive the new ROG Xbox Ally X is.
1698
01:04:03,099 --> 01:04:04,333
Oh, I got that in one try.
1699
01:04:04,699 --> 01:04:05,000
Nice.
1700
01:04:05,533 --> 01:04:06,766
You forgot the Series
1701
01:04:06,766 --> 01:04:10,366
X...uh...X-Bone One.
1702
01:04:11,533 --> 01:04:12,466
Alright, but...
1703
01:04:13,233 --> 01:04:16,033
Yeah, so...basically...
1704
01:04:17,233 --> 01:04:19,900
anything that's not a Switch 2 or a Steam
1705
01:04:19,900 --> 01:04:21,533
Deck is incredibly steep in price.
1706
01:04:21,900 --> 01:04:22,933
Or a Switch One, for that matter.
1707
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:24,633
And, I mean...
1708
01:04:25,633 --> 01:04:27,866
On one hand, I get it. It's kind of
1709
01:04:27,866 --> 01:04:28,533
expensive, but at the
1710
01:04:28,533 --> 01:04:29,333
same time, though...
1711
01:04:30,566 --> 01:04:33,133
Hand...PC Handpelt were never really
1712
01:04:33,133 --> 01:04:34,199
cheap to begin with.
1713
01:04:35,033 --> 01:04:37,433
Like, they were always at minimum, like,
1714
01:04:37,433 --> 01:04:39,833
$800 before the Steam Deck, at least.
1715
01:04:39,833 --> 01:04:42,699
Like, I remember seeing the I&EO in the
1716
01:04:42,699 --> 01:04:44,699
various GPD devices. They were inching
1717
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:46,433
towards $1,000 even back then.
1718
01:04:46,666 --> 01:04:50,833
Yup. I remember when I bought my GPD Win
1719
01:04:50,833 --> 01:04:54,933
2...uh...on...um...what was it?
1720
01:04:55,133 --> 01:04:56,333
IndieGoGo? Is that right?
1721
01:04:57,233 --> 01:04:57,933
I think that was...
1722
01:04:57,933 --> 01:04:58,300
I think that was a yes.
1723
01:04:59,533 --> 01:05:02,566
GPD Win 2. I don't remember what I paid
1724
01:05:02,566 --> 01:05:05,433
for it. I think it was like $800, though.
1725
01:05:07,533 --> 01:05:10,133
Something...I think it was like $800.
1726
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:12,533
And, uh...I remember being like, "That's
1727
01:05:12,533 --> 01:05:13,333
steep, but I really
1728
01:05:13,333 --> 01:05:15,366
want to play games on it."
1729
01:05:16,900 --> 01:05:17,933
Did you play games on it?
1730
01:05:18,966 --> 01:05:22,766
Uh...I...no. Not really. I didn't
1731
01:05:22,766 --> 01:05:23,666
like...it was not
1732
01:05:23,666 --> 01:05:24,900
very comfortable to hold.
1733
01:05:25,699 --> 01:05:26,266
Do you remember what
1734
01:05:26,266 --> 01:05:27,000
that thing looked like?
1735
01:05:28,533 --> 01:05:29,833
I know what it looks like. Yeah, yeah,
1736
01:05:29,833 --> 01:05:32,033
yeah. I never had one. But
1737
01:05:32,033 --> 01:05:33,433
yeah, I guess it makes sense.
1738
01:05:33,833 --> 01:05:35,933
I liked the form factor. I thought it was
1739
01:05:35,933 --> 01:05:37,733
nice. The...the analog
1740
01:05:37,733 --> 01:05:39,266
sticks were good-ish.
1741
01:05:39,933 --> 01:05:42,533
But I hated the little, uh, toggle switch
1742
01:05:42,533 --> 01:05:45,366
to switch between mouse and gamepad mode.
1743
01:05:46,066 --> 01:05:50,033
And, um...also, like, the triggers were
1744
01:05:50,033 --> 01:05:51,933
arranged in a very strange way.
1745
01:05:51,933 --> 01:05:52,833
You can see here, there's
1746
01:05:52,833 --> 01:05:53,933
three triggers on the back.
1747
01:05:55,033 --> 01:05:57,666
And, uh...this is the right bumper...or
1748
01:05:57,666 --> 01:06:00,233
the right, uh, analog stick click.
1749
01:06:01,166 --> 01:06:02,266
Right? Alright! They
1750
01:06:02,266 --> 01:06:03,800
didn't click back then. Yeah.
1751
01:06:04,199 --> 01:06:05,966
So...and then...and then this was...these
1752
01:06:05,966 --> 01:06:08,599
were, like, super tacky, like, um...like
1753
01:06:08,599 --> 01:06:10,233
a mouse click. You know?
1754
01:06:11,233 --> 01:06:13,433
Um...they just...nothing about it felt
1755
01:06:13,433 --> 01:06:15,533
super ergonomic. And then it would get
1756
01:06:15,533 --> 01:06:16,866
really hot on
1757
01:06:16,866 --> 01:06:18,433
the...where your left hand was.
1758
01:06:18,433 --> 01:06:20,466
It would get super hot. And so it just
1759
01:06:20,466 --> 01:06:23,500
wasn't good to play, uh, games on.
1760
01:06:23,699 --> 01:06:26,466
Um...but I installed Linux on it. And,
1761
01:06:26,466 --> 01:06:27,900
uh...I had fun with a
1762
01:06:27,900 --> 01:06:28,966
little handheld Linux machine.
1763
01:06:31,333 --> 01:06:33,566
And this was pre-steamed, right? Yeah,
1764
01:06:33,866 --> 01:06:35,066
this was definitely pre-steamed.
1765
01:06:35,066 --> 01:06:37,933
This was, like, around the time that the
1766
01:06:37,933 --> 01:06:39,366
switch came out, I think.
1767
01:06:39,833 --> 01:06:44,333
And it had an Intel Core M3 8100Y
1768
01:06:44,333 --> 01:06:46,666
processor. So...and it had Intel Iris
1769
01:06:46,666 --> 01:06:48,333
graphics, like...or
1770
01:06:48,333 --> 01:06:49,533
maybe it was pre-iris.
1771
01:06:49,533 --> 01:06:52,266
Like, it was before that. Um...
1772
01:06:54,266 --> 01:06:56,766
Intel...yeah, Intel UHD Graphics 615. So
1773
01:06:56,766 --> 01:07:00,566
you could really only play...like, uh,
1774
01:07:01,233 --> 01:07:03,466
indie side-scrollers and stuff, you know?
1775
01:07:04,099 --> 01:07:06,033
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Despite them using
1776
01:07:06,033 --> 01:07:08,366
pictures of Dark Souls 3, you probably
1777
01:07:08,366 --> 01:07:09,433
couldn't play that that well.
1778
01:07:09,633 --> 01:07:11,566
No. I don't...I don't...I don't think I
1779
01:07:11,566 --> 01:07:12,433
ever tried that, but I
1780
01:07:12,433 --> 01:07:13,199
doubt that would work.
1781
01:07:13,766 --> 01:07:15,599
So I understand the article's
1782
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:17,233
frustrations, but I don't necessarily
1783
01:07:17,233 --> 01:07:18,666
agree with the premise, because PC
1784
01:07:18,666 --> 01:07:19,800
handles have always been expensive.
1785
01:07:20,233 --> 01:07:22,199
The Steam Deck has always been a bit of
1786
01:07:22,199 --> 01:07:23,333
an outlier, to be honest.
1787
01:07:23,933 --> 01:07:24,699
Yeah. I mean, Valve can
1788
01:07:24,699 --> 01:07:26,433
afford to do it. Um... Yeah.
1789
01:07:27,266 --> 01:07:29,733
But can they... Most of the other, like,
1790
01:07:29,733 --> 01:07:32,066
vendors, like, PC handheld vendors are
1791
01:07:32,066 --> 01:07:33,866
pretty...are fairly boutique, right?
1792
01:07:34,066 --> 01:07:35,966
Like, it's not like they're doing high
1793
01:07:35,966 --> 01:07:37,633
volumes and selling
1794
01:07:37,633 --> 01:07:38,533
millions of units, right?
1795
01:07:38,533 --> 01:07:42,033
Yeah. Most of them are not Lenovo or
1796
01:07:42,033 --> 01:07:44,366
Asus, so they can't...they definitely
1797
01:07:44,366 --> 01:07:45,333
can't afford to do volume.
1798
01:07:45,633 --> 01:07:49,099
But even then, like...like, GPD...like,
1799
01:07:49,099 --> 01:07:50,566
the GP15...I think we talked
1800
01:07:50,566 --> 01:07:51,566
about this a few times already.
1801
01:07:51,966 --> 01:07:53,533
It looks like a really cool device, but I
1802
01:07:53,533 --> 01:07:54,466
can't imagine it being
1803
01:07:54,466 --> 01:07:56,000
less than, like, 1500 minimum.
1804
01:07:56,833 --> 01:08:01,199
Right. Yeah. It's, uh...I don't know.
1805
01:08:01,199 --> 01:08:02,833
I...it makes sense because
1806
01:08:02,833 --> 01:08:04,466
PC hardware is just expensive.
1807
01:08:05,533 --> 01:08:08,766
And with high-end...you're not only
1808
01:08:08,766 --> 01:08:09,633
contending with, like,
1809
01:08:10,033 --> 01:08:11,433
high-end APUs and stuff.
1810
01:08:11,833 --> 01:08:14,866
You're also contending with greater
1811
01:08:14,866 --> 01:08:17,866
engineering that has to go into it to
1812
01:08:17,866 --> 01:08:19,166
make sure that it's comfortable to hold.
1813
01:08:19,833 --> 01:08:21,833
Because, honestly, I haven't...since the
1814
01:08:21,833 --> 01:08:24,566
GPD Win 2, I haven't used a device that
1815
01:08:24,566 --> 01:08:26,333
has been that uncomfortable to hold in my
1816
01:08:26,333 --> 01:08:27,533
hand because of the heat, right?
1817
01:08:27,966 --> 01:08:30,500
And that requires engineering. It's not
1818
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:33,533
just, like, they can slap a, you know, a
1819
01:08:33,533 --> 01:08:35,366
Ryzen 9 into the
1820
01:08:35,366 --> 01:08:36,466
machine and call it a day.
1821
01:08:36,466 --> 01:08:39,300
They have to design it with airflow in
1822
01:08:39,300 --> 01:08:41,399
mind and testing and
1823
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:42,399
prototyping and stuff.
1824
01:08:42,733 --> 01:08:45,333
So, yeah, you're gonna end
1825
01:08:45,333 --> 01:08:48,300
up with a higher overhead.
1826
01:08:49,933 --> 01:08:50,966
And at lower volumes, you
1827
01:08:50,966 --> 01:08:53,533
get, you know, costs are higher.
1828
01:08:53,533 --> 01:08:59,333
So, it's never been super inexpensive for
1829
01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:02,833
them to make these things, but with...I
1830
01:09:02,833 --> 01:09:04,933
think Valve has kind of shifted the
1831
01:09:04,933 --> 01:09:07,300
perception of...and along
1832
01:09:07,300 --> 01:09:08,733
with the Switch 2, you know?
1833
01:09:09,333 --> 01:09:11,366
Or the Switch, I should say. The Switch 2
1834
01:09:11,366 --> 01:09:13,566
is overpriced. I don't know.
1835
01:09:15,066 --> 01:09:18,166
I think if the Steam Deck 2 is going to
1836
01:09:18,166 --> 01:09:20,266
be successful, they need to
1837
01:09:20,266 --> 01:09:22,199
have a hit of a $400 price point.
1838
01:09:22,566 --> 01:09:25,533
I get it. The big bad "T" word is making
1839
01:09:25,533 --> 01:09:27,166
everything more expensive, and it's
1840
01:09:27,166 --> 01:09:30,533
probably what's causing the ROG Xbox Ally
1841
01:09:30,533 --> 01:09:35,966
X Series SX to be, like, close to $1,000
1842
01:09:35,966 --> 01:09:40,933
instead of the MSRP of, like, $700 or
1843
01:09:40,933 --> 01:09:43,066
$800 with the original Ally X.
1844
01:09:44,533 --> 01:09:47,266
But, like, I think Valve has to hit it,
1845
01:09:47,266 --> 01:09:49,833
and I know...I'm sure Valve would be
1846
01:09:49,833 --> 01:09:51,066
willing to take a
1847
01:09:51,066 --> 01:09:53,199
slightly bigger hit on hardware.
1848
01:09:54,266 --> 01:09:56,133
Yeah, because, like, think about it. How
1849
01:09:56,133 --> 01:09:57,733
many games have you bought on Steam that
1850
01:09:57,733 --> 01:09:59,000
you haven't touched?
1851
01:10:00,066 --> 01:10:02,733
Dude, too many. How many games have I
1852
01:10:02,733 --> 01:10:04,933
bought on my Steam Deck intending to play
1853
01:10:04,933 --> 01:10:05,766
them without actually
1854
01:10:05,766 --> 01:10:07,100
playing them? Too many.
1855
01:10:07,933 --> 01:10:10,633
Yes. That's pure profit for Valve.
1856
01:10:10,933 --> 01:10:11,133
Yeah.
1857
01:10:12,199 --> 01:10:12,866
Like, they're not even spending
1858
01:10:12,866 --> 01:10:14,166
the...you're not even spending their
1859
01:10:14,166 --> 01:10:16,333
bandwidth to download the games. That's
1860
01:10:16,333 --> 01:10:19,100
how...it's pure profit, right?
1861
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:19,933
Yeah.
1862
01:10:20,033 --> 01:10:20,866
Yeah. Pure profit for
1863
01:10:20,866 --> 01:10:21,966
Valve and the developers, too.
1864
01:10:22,533 --> 01:10:23,366
Mm-hmm.
1865
01:10:24,133 --> 01:10:26,399
Yeah, so I think Valve could certainly
1866
01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:27,166
afford to take a
1867
01:10:27,166 --> 01:10:29,366
bigger hit if they need to.
1868
01:10:29,866 --> 01:10:30,133
Yes.
1869
01:10:30,533 --> 01:10:32,800
Now, I'm sure there's a limit to it.
1870
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,466
They're not just gonna give away free
1871
01:10:34,466 --> 01:10:36,766
Steam Deck 2s just so you can...in the
1872
01:10:36,766 --> 01:10:38,566
hopes that maybe someone will buy stuff
1873
01:10:38,566 --> 01:10:40,066
on Steam, but, like...
1874
01:10:42,066 --> 01:10:47,666
Yeah, I think if the PS6 rumors prove
1875
01:10:47,666 --> 01:10:49,533
true, I think Valve will have no choice
1876
01:10:49,533 --> 01:10:50,533
but to undercut it
1877
01:10:50,533 --> 01:10:52,166
by, like, $100 for sure.
1878
01:10:53,433 --> 01:10:54,766
If they want to compete, yeah.
1879
01:10:55,066 --> 01:10:56,399
Do it, Valve. I dare ya.
1880
01:10:56,533 --> 01:10:56,933
Do it.
1881
01:10:58,533 --> 01:11:01,866
But now...but anyways, what sort of
1882
01:11:01,866 --> 01:11:03,666
features do we want in a Steam Deck 2? I
1883
01:11:03,666 --> 01:11:04,333
don't think we've actually
1884
01:11:04,333 --> 01:11:05,433
talked about this on air.
1885
01:11:06,266 --> 01:11:06,466
Mm.
1886
01:11:07,833 --> 01:11:13,466
I really want expansion. Like, I want USB
1887
01:11:13,466 --> 01:11:19,466
4 where I can connect a discrete GPU when
1888
01:11:19,466 --> 01:11:20,533
I connect it to my TV.
1889
01:11:20,566 --> 01:11:25,300
I agree. USB 4 is a must. I understand
1890
01:11:25,300 --> 01:11:27,233
that it was...the Steam Deck was released
1891
01:11:27,233 --> 01:11:29,466
in a weird state where we didn't have
1892
01:11:29,466 --> 01:11:31,833
Thunderbolt 4 slash USB 4,
1893
01:11:31,833 --> 01:11:34,366
but, like, it's a thing now.
1894
01:11:34,733 --> 01:11:38,333
We did have it, but AMD didn't. Like, it
1895
01:11:38,333 --> 01:11:40,133
was on Intel CPUs, but not...
1896
01:11:40,366 --> 01:11:40,866
Yeah, that's...yeah.
1897
01:11:40,866 --> 01:11:42,000
Yeah. But now that we
1898
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,300
have it, I think it's a must.
1899
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:44,066
Yeah.
1900
01:11:44,066 --> 01:11:46,566
And I think Valve would be stupid not to
1901
01:11:46,566 --> 01:11:47,533
do it, quite frankly.
1902
01:11:48,533 --> 01:11:50,533
Yeah. I would like an official docking
1903
01:11:50,533 --> 01:11:54,899
station that has either expansion, like a
1904
01:11:54,899 --> 01:12:00,233
slot that you can expand, or it comes
1905
01:12:00,233 --> 01:12:02,366
with, like, a dedicated GPU built in.
1906
01:12:03,100 --> 01:12:06,800
But that's probably very niche, so I
1907
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:07,933
don't know if they
1908
01:12:07,933 --> 01:12:08,533
would actually do it, but...
1909
01:12:08,566 --> 01:12:10,566
I think if they were gonna go that route,
1910
01:12:10,566 --> 01:12:12,633
I think they would just stick with one
1911
01:12:12,633 --> 01:12:15,666
GPU inside the dock and not have to worry
1912
01:12:15,666 --> 01:12:17,033
about, like, multiple different...
1913
01:12:17,533 --> 01:12:19,199
Instead of worrying about, like, having
1914
01:12:19,199 --> 01:12:22,866
an external GPU, like, Caddy where you
1915
01:12:22,866 --> 01:12:24,466
can stick your own, like, Nvidia GPU or
1916
01:12:24,466 --> 01:12:25,300
whatever, I think they're just gonna
1917
01:12:25,300 --> 01:12:30,166
focus on having, like, a 7600X or
1918
01:12:30,166 --> 01:12:32,533
whatever, XD or whatever to get in.
1919
01:12:32,533 --> 01:12:36,533
It really...I mean, it's easier to focus
1920
01:12:36,533 --> 01:12:38,133
on one subset of hardware, right?
1921
01:12:38,833 --> 01:12:42,833
Yeah. Absolutely. Um...I don't know, what
1922
01:12:42,833 --> 01:12:44,266
features would you want?
1923
01:12:44,933 --> 01:12:45,300
Ad hoc.
1924
01:12:46,633 --> 01:12:50,366
Dude, ad hoc, yes. Ugh.
1925
01:12:50,766 --> 01:12:52,266
So, for those who don't know, or maybe
1926
01:12:52,266 --> 01:12:55,666
are too young, the original DS, and the
1927
01:12:55,666 --> 01:13:00,833
3DS, and the PSP, and the Vita all have
1928
01:13:00,833 --> 01:13:02,533
the ability to play multiple games.
1929
01:13:03,533 --> 01:13:04,399
Yep.
1930
01:13:05,500 --> 01:13:06,833
Wirelessly, without the
1931
01:13:06,833 --> 01:13:07,800
need for, like, a router.
1932
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:08,733
Mm-hmm.
1933
01:13:09,333 --> 01:13:10,833
And I've mentioned this a couple of times
1934
01:13:10,833 --> 01:13:13,166
online in various different places. Some
1935
01:13:13,166 --> 01:13:14,500
people call me stupid because they're
1936
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:16,166
like, "Oh, you can just tell me you're
1937
01:13:16,166 --> 01:13:17,766
fun! Well, fuck you! How about that?"
1938
01:13:18,366 --> 01:13:19,433
Yeah.
1939
01:13:20,533 --> 01:13:24,233
So, here's the deal. You can technically
1940
01:13:24,233 --> 01:13:27,666
do ad hoc, right, on your Steam deck, but
1941
01:13:27,666 --> 01:13:29,766
you have to go into your desktop, like,
1942
01:13:29,766 --> 01:13:32,466
you have to drop out of Steam game mode,
1943
01:13:32,733 --> 01:13:34,699
you have to go to your desktop, set up an
1944
01:13:34,699 --> 01:13:36,666
ad hoc network, and then get all your
1945
01:13:36,666 --> 01:13:37,866
friends to join it, right?
1946
01:13:37,866 --> 01:13:39,466
It's not an easy or
1947
01:13:39,466 --> 01:13:40,733
good experience, right?
1948
01:13:40,933 --> 01:13:41,966
Yeah. See, you lost
1949
01:13:41,966 --> 01:13:44,533
me at leave game mode.
1950
01:13:44,566 --> 01:13:44,899
Right.
1951
01:13:45,500 --> 01:13:47,733
So, my idea for ad hoc would be, like,
1952
01:13:47,733 --> 01:13:49,166
kind of like how they did it
1953
01:13:49,166 --> 01:13:52,633
for, like, the PSP or the DS.
1954
01:13:52,633 --> 01:13:53,100
Yeah.
1955
01:13:53,433 --> 01:13:57,500
Where Valve could make an API, where they
1956
01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:59,966
could just, where you could just have
1957
01:13:59,966 --> 01:14:00,766
some sort of lobby
1958
01:14:00,766 --> 01:14:02,533
system, built-in lobby system.
1959
01:14:02,833 --> 01:14:03,366
Mm-hmm.
1960
01:14:03,366 --> 01:14:04,333
Because that's kind of how, like, all
1961
01:14:04,333 --> 01:14:05,766
these old ad hoc games worked.
1962
01:14:06,333 --> 01:14:07,766
Like, it would make a lobby and you'd,
1963
01:14:07,766 --> 01:14:08,933
like, join it if you
1964
01:14:08,933 --> 01:14:10,100
detected the lobby within.
1965
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:11,000
Yes.
1966
01:14:11,566 --> 01:14:14,399
And, like, yeah, do it like that.
1967
01:14:14,866 --> 01:14:17,133
And then you could bring back, you could
1968
01:14:17,133 --> 01:14:18,333
bring back land gameplay.
1969
01:14:18,833 --> 01:14:19,266
Mm-hmm.
1970
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:21,866
So, yeah, that's how we
1971
01:14:21,866 --> 01:14:24,000
revive land game, land parties.
1972
01:14:24,733 --> 01:14:24,933
Yeah.
1973
01:14:24,966 --> 01:14:26,866
We just make some sort of ad hoc system.
1974
01:14:27,666 --> 01:14:29,466
Dude, it would be fairly
1975
01:14:29,466 --> 01:14:31,333
trivial for them to do, right?
1976
01:14:31,633 --> 01:14:33,800
Because, you know, the whole Linux stack,
1977
01:14:34,266 --> 01:14:36,633
really, all they'd have to do is add some
1978
01:14:36,633 --> 01:14:39,300
UI to maybe the quick access menu or
1979
01:14:39,300 --> 01:14:40,533
something to scan for, you know,
1980
01:14:40,566 --> 01:14:44,066
Steam ad hoc games.
1981
01:14:44,966 --> 01:14:47,233
And maybe, maybe the Wi-Fi hardware would
1982
01:14:47,233 --> 01:14:48,166
also have to support,
1983
01:14:48,166 --> 01:14:50,033
like, passive scanning.
1984
01:14:50,566 --> 01:14:51,733
Or probably not, actually.
1985
01:14:51,733 --> 01:14:53,399
It already can do passive scanning while
1986
01:14:53,399 --> 01:14:54,266
you're connected to a network.
1987
01:14:54,666 --> 01:14:58,000
So you just have to, like, have the API
1988
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,466
for games to be able to, like, advertise,
1989
01:15:01,066 --> 01:15:02,566
"Hey, there's an ad hoc game going on."
1990
01:15:02,966 --> 01:15:04,266
I think the other thing that they would
1991
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:05,566
have to do, though, is have
1992
01:15:05,566 --> 01:15:07,033
some level of download play.
1993
01:15:07,699 --> 01:15:10,833
So games, you know, could say, "Hey,
1994
01:15:10,833 --> 01:15:12,533
Steam, here are the files that you should
1995
01:15:12,533 --> 01:15:15,433
send over to other clients that don't
1996
01:15:15,433 --> 01:15:16,666
have a copy of the game already."
1997
01:15:16,666 --> 01:15:18,333
So that they could play, like, one little
1998
01:15:18,333 --> 01:15:19,933
demo level or whatever.
1999
01:15:21,133 --> 01:15:22,533
Mm, that could be interesting.
2000
01:15:22,933 --> 01:15:24,800
I could see that being a possibility for,
2001
01:15:25,633 --> 01:15:27,466
"Oh, yeah, just steal Nintendo's... Yeah,
2002
01:15:27,699 --> 01:15:29,199
just borrow Nintendo's ideas."
2003
01:15:29,566 --> 01:15:29,800
Yeah.
2004
01:15:30,533 --> 01:15:30,733
Yeah.
2005
01:15:30,966 --> 01:15:34,066
I mean, even the PSP
2006
01:15:34,066 --> 01:15:35,533
had download play, right?
2007
01:15:35,566 --> 01:15:36,466
They called it something
2008
01:15:36,466 --> 01:15:38,033
else, but it was the same thing.
2009
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:40,699
Yeah, they had both ad hoc and some sort
2010
01:15:40,699 --> 01:15:42,199
of download play thingy.
2011
01:15:42,533 --> 01:15:42,733
Yeah.
2012
01:15:43,366 --> 01:15:44,966
Now, nah, nah, nah.
2013
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,133
I know some people are gonna say that no
2014
01:15:48,133 --> 01:15:49,566
game's gonna support it, but I promise
2015
01:15:49,566 --> 01:15:51,333
you, there are developers out there that
2016
01:15:51,333 --> 01:15:52,899
would absolutely go
2017
01:15:52,899 --> 01:15:53,833
out of the way to do it.
2018
01:15:54,033 --> 01:15:54,899
I would support it.
2019
01:15:55,266 --> 01:15:58,000
Yeah, like, Gardener said he stopped
2020
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,266
updating his game, but I'm sure he would
2021
01:16:01,266 --> 01:16:03,733
go back and make that a thing.
2022
01:16:03,966 --> 01:16:04,300
Absolutely.
2023
01:16:04,566 --> 01:16:05,433
And I think...
2024
01:16:06,266 --> 01:16:07,433
So it's called game
2025
01:16:07,433 --> 01:16:10,000
sharing on PSP, by the way.
2026
01:16:10,833 --> 01:16:12,166
Oh, yeah, I see it.
2027
01:16:12,366 --> 01:16:12,566
Yeah.
2028
01:16:12,833 --> 01:16:13,866
I don't think I've ever used that
2029
01:16:13,866 --> 01:16:14,600
feature, to be honest.
2030
01:16:14,833 --> 01:16:15,133
I don't know.
2031
01:16:15,133 --> 01:16:18,266
I didn't know very many people with PSPs,
2032
01:16:18,266 --> 01:16:20,199
but I knew a ton of people with DSes.
2033
01:16:20,666 --> 01:16:21,366
Yeah, me too.
2034
01:16:21,666 --> 01:16:24,533
I had a PSP, my cousin had one, but we
2035
01:16:24,533 --> 01:16:26,366
also both had DSes, and we...
2036
01:16:27,666 --> 01:16:30,500
Yeah, man.
2037
01:16:31,733 --> 01:16:32,533
The DS was a great time, man.
2038
01:16:32,566 --> 01:16:34,199
I think that might have been the...
2039
01:16:35,233 --> 01:16:36,666
Honestly, speaking of, like, portables,
2040
01:16:37,433 --> 01:16:41,433
I'm kind of sad that portable games kind
2041
01:16:41,433 --> 01:16:42,333
of sort of died out
2042
01:16:42,333 --> 01:16:43,699
as a category of games.
2043
01:16:43,966 --> 01:16:44,333
Like, you know what
2044
01:16:44,333 --> 01:16:44,933
I'm talking about, right?
2045
01:16:45,633 --> 01:16:46,600
Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
2046
01:16:47,100 --> 01:16:48,533
And for the audience, that might be a
2047
01:16:48,533 --> 01:16:50,033
little too young to remember, or maybe
2048
01:16:50,033 --> 01:16:51,399
they just don't remember, period.
2049
01:16:52,566 --> 01:16:54,366
There used to be a point in time where
2050
01:16:54,366 --> 01:16:57,100
games would be released on home consoles
2051
01:16:57,100 --> 01:17:00,166
and also on portable devices, but, you
2052
01:17:00,166 --> 01:17:01,266
know, the home console
2053
01:17:01,266 --> 01:17:01,533
games were, like, kind of,
2054
01:17:01,533 --> 01:17:05,133
what you expected, like, major AAA games
2055
01:17:05,133 --> 01:17:08,466
back then, but portable versions of those
2056
01:17:08,466 --> 01:17:09,966
games could be totally,
2057
01:17:09,966 --> 01:17:11,666
drastically different.
2058
01:17:12,033 --> 01:17:14,100
Like, entirely different games. Doesn't
2059
01:17:14,100 --> 01:17:15,066
play the same at all.
2060
01:17:15,633 --> 01:17:17,566
Yep. I mean, Perfect Dark, when it was
2061
01:17:17,566 --> 01:17:20,433
released on the N64, was a first-person
2062
01:17:20,433 --> 01:17:22,433
shooter, and then if you played it on...
2063
01:17:22,899 --> 01:17:24,266
Was it Game Boy? I think
2064
01:17:24,266 --> 01:17:24,966
it was Game Boy Advance.
2065
01:17:26,533 --> 01:17:28,266
Maybe, I think it might have been Game
2066
01:17:28,266 --> 01:17:30,033
Boy, even, like, Game Boy Color.
2067
01:17:30,666 --> 01:17:32,933
It was sort of like a top-down, Metal
2068
01:17:32,933 --> 01:17:33,899
Gear Solid-looking
2069
01:17:33,899 --> 01:17:36,133
game, but was sprite-based.
2070
01:17:36,733 --> 01:17:37,633
Mm. Yeah.
2071
01:17:38,933 --> 01:17:40,233
Yeah, like, I kind of
2072
01:17:40,233 --> 01:17:41,766
missed those sorts of games, too.
2073
01:17:42,333 --> 01:17:42,533
Yeah.
2074
01:17:42,766 --> 01:17:44,733
And, I mean, Pokémon was, like, the
2075
01:17:44,733 --> 01:17:46,666
epitome of a portable game.
2076
01:17:47,233 --> 01:17:47,533
Yeah.
2077
01:17:47,533 --> 01:17:49,300
And people didn't care about the graphics
2078
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:51,566
back then, because, I mean, I mean, to be
2079
01:17:51,566 --> 01:17:54,433
fair, they looked a lot better back when
2080
01:17:54,433 --> 01:17:54,533
they were using the sprites.
2081
01:17:55,533 --> 01:17:57,266
Agreed.
2082
01:17:57,266 --> 01:17:58,566
But also, people didn't give a fuck
2083
01:17:58,566 --> 01:18:01,233
about, "Oh, how come this game doesn't
2084
01:18:01,233 --> 01:18:02,133
have, like, the best
2085
01:18:02,133 --> 01:18:03,833
graphics and whatnot?" Right?
2086
01:18:05,066 --> 01:18:07,233
Yeah. I mean, I do remember people were
2087
01:18:07,233 --> 01:18:11,933
upset in that, after playing Chrono
2088
01:18:11,933 --> 01:18:15,033
Trigger, they went and played Earthbound,
2089
01:18:15,033 --> 01:18:16,066
and Earthbound looked like...
2090
01:18:17,266 --> 01:18:18,233
I don't know. People said that the
2091
01:18:18,233 --> 01:18:19,933
graphics were not good in Earthbound, but
2092
01:18:19,933 --> 01:18:20,533
that's not handheld.
2093
01:18:20,566 --> 01:18:22,466
Yeah, that's not handheld. That was,
2094
01:18:22,466 --> 01:18:23,833
like, on the latest and
2095
01:18:23,833 --> 01:18:25,133
greatest, the Super Nintendo.
2096
01:18:26,766 --> 01:18:26,833
Right.
2097
01:18:26,833 --> 01:18:29,633
So, yeah, people don't remember this, but
2098
01:18:29,633 --> 01:18:31,766
even back then, people were super, like,
2099
01:18:31,766 --> 01:18:34,233
concerned with graphics and making things
2100
01:18:34,233 --> 01:18:36,300
look realistic back then, instead of it
2101
01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:36,833
being, like, a
2102
01:18:36,833 --> 01:18:38,266
specific style choice, right?
2103
01:18:38,533 --> 01:18:38,833
Right.
2104
01:18:39,766 --> 01:18:40,766
Like, I'm not saying Chrono
2105
01:18:40,766 --> 01:18:42,066
Trigger tried to look realistic.
2106
01:18:43,533 --> 01:18:45,433
Well, Chrono Trigger looked more like an
2107
01:18:45,433 --> 01:18:50,666
anime, and I think Earthbound looked more
2108
01:18:50,666 --> 01:18:52,966
like a Saturday morning cartoon, and
2109
01:18:52,966 --> 01:18:54,933
people didn't like the different style.
2110
01:18:56,066 --> 01:18:57,266
But the graphics were simpler in
2111
01:18:57,266 --> 01:18:58,066
Earthbound, for sure.
2112
01:18:58,699 --> 01:18:59,566
For sure, yes.
2113
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:01,600
Greatest game ever,
2114
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:02,399
by the way, Earthbound.
2115
01:19:03,766 --> 01:19:06,233
You know, speaking of which, I came
2116
01:19:06,233 --> 01:19:08,100
across an... I came across an Earthbound
2117
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:09,833
museum, an exhibition
2118
01:19:09,833 --> 01:19:11,966
in Japan, in Shibuya.
2119
01:19:11,966 --> 01:19:12,266
Really?
2120
01:19:13,366 --> 01:19:15,566
Yeah, it cost 1,800 yen to get in, so I
2121
01:19:15,566 --> 01:19:17,399
didn't get in, nor did I have the time.
2122
01:19:17,933 --> 01:19:19,633
But it looked really cool, though. I can
2123
01:19:19,633 --> 01:19:22,233
send you some pictures of the... of it.
2124
01:19:22,466 --> 01:19:23,133
Dude, for sure.
2125
01:19:23,699 --> 01:19:24,000
Yeah.
2126
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,033
It looked pretty cool, though. It was the
2127
01:19:28,033 --> 01:19:31,066
Mother Expo. They had Mother 1, 2, and 3
2128
01:19:31,066 --> 01:19:33,699
in there, too. Which, by the way,
2129
01:19:34,033 --> 01:19:35,399
Nintendo still never released in America.
2130
01:19:36,466 --> 01:19:36,666
Yep.
2131
01:19:37,533 --> 01:19:38,500
I'm just saying,
2132
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:40,466
Nintendo. It's free money.
2133
01:19:41,399 --> 01:19:43,100
Dude, Mother 3... I...
2134
01:19:43,666 --> 01:19:44,899
Man. That game makes...
2135
01:19:45,166 --> 01:19:45,466
That's what...
2136
01:19:45,899 --> 01:19:49,466
That game moved me. Have you beat it?
2137
01:19:50,966 --> 01:19:52,533
I've actually never played Mother 3.
2138
01:19:53,533 --> 01:19:54,500
You've played Earthbound, though.
2139
01:19:55,233 --> 01:19:56,300
I've played Earthbound.
2140
01:19:56,533 --> 01:19:57,166
Have you beat it?
2141
01:19:59,633 --> 01:20:01,566
No, but I watched the ending on YouTube.
2142
01:20:02,233 --> 01:20:02,666
Okay, okay.
2143
01:20:03,266 --> 01:20:05,466
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, dude, that spoils
2144
01:20:05,466 --> 01:20:06,433
it, because, dude,
2145
01:20:06,433 --> 01:20:07,433
that was the first game...
2146
01:20:08,166 --> 01:20:10,333
That Earthbound was the first game I ever
2147
01:20:10,333 --> 01:20:12,333
beat where the ending
2148
01:20:12,333 --> 01:20:13,566
brought me to tears.
2149
01:20:14,766 --> 01:20:16,066
Did I... Have I told this story before?
2150
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:16,866
No.
2151
01:20:17,699 --> 01:20:20,433
Okay. So, I'm not gonna get into too many
2152
01:20:20,433 --> 01:20:21,533
spoilers, but, like...
2153
01:20:21,533 --> 01:20:23,566
At the end of the game, you're fighting
2154
01:20:23,566 --> 01:20:26,766
the final boss, and he's
2155
01:20:26,766 --> 01:20:28,466
absolutely kicking your ass.
2156
01:20:29,166 --> 01:20:32,633
And then... And then the scripted moment
2157
01:20:32,633 --> 01:20:34,866
happens in the battle, and it's the first
2158
01:20:34,866 --> 01:20:35,766
time there's a scripted
2159
01:20:35,766 --> 01:20:36,766
moment in the battle...
2160
01:20:37,966 --> 01:20:41,233
In the whole game. And it... I think you
2161
01:20:41,233 --> 01:20:41,800
probably know what I'm
2162
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,733
talking about, high-tech.
2163
01:20:42,733 --> 01:20:42,833
Yeah.
2164
01:20:43,533 --> 01:20:47,633
The game sets it up earlier by, like,
2165
01:20:48,166 --> 01:20:50,766
surreptitiously collecting information.
2166
01:20:51,433 --> 01:20:53,166
And then it uses that information it
2167
01:20:53,166 --> 01:20:55,133
collected about you to, like, hit you in
2168
01:20:55,133 --> 01:20:56,333
the fucking face with
2169
01:20:56,333 --> 01:20:57,233
emotion, and you're like...
2170
01:20:57,966 --> 01:20:58,833
"Oh my god!"
2171
01:20:59,166 --> 01:21:01,399
Like, dude, I get goosebumps just
2172
01:21:01,399 --> 01:21:03,433
thinking about it. It's so moving.
2173
01:21:05,333 --> 01:21:08,533
And I was probably 9 or 10 when I played
2174
01:21:08,533 --> 01:21:11,233
it and beat it, and I was like, "I can't
2175
01:21:11,233 --> 01:21:12,266
believe that just happened."
2176
01:21:12,533 --> 01:21:13,133
And I was like, "Wow."
2177
01:21:14,533 --> 01:21:17,266
Yeah. Anyway, it's so beautiful.
2178
01:21:18,033 --> 01:21:20,399
And Mother 3 is also great.
2179
01:21:20,933 --> 01:21:22,699
Doesn't kind of have that same, like,
2180
01:21:22,699 --> 01:21:23,466
"wow" moment at the end,
2181
01:21:23,466 --> 01:21:25,066
but it's still really great.
2182
01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:27,800
Maybe I should go
2183
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:28,899
back and beat Earthbound.
2184
01:21:30,066 --> 01:21:32,266
Yeah, man. I recommend it.
2185
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:37,266
Yeah. I mean... I
2186
01:21:37,266 --> 01:21:38,466
think maybe one day I will.
2187
01:21:38,566 --> 01:21:40,233
But in the meantime, though, Nintendo
2188
01:21:40,233 --> 01:21:43,566
should re-release Mother 3.
2189
01:21:43,566 --> 01:21:45,366
I haven't played Earthbound 1. I mean,
2190
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,733
Mother 1, which was on the NES.
2191
01:21:48,766 --> 01:21:50,433
Yeah, to be fair, I haven't either. It's
2192
01:21:50,433 --> 01:21:53,533
a little too dated for my taste.
2193
01:21:55,833 --> 01:21:56,333
I don't know.
2194
01:21:56,833 --> 01:21:57,733
But you must. You're
2195
01:21:57,733 --> 01:21:58,899
a huge Earthbound fan.
2196
01:21:59,533 --> 01:22:00,933
Earthbound, specifically.
2197
01:22:01,466 --> 01:22:03,533
What would they call Mother 3 if they
2198
01:22:03,533 --> 01:22:04,633
brought it here? Because they certainly
2199
01:22:04,633 --> 01:22:05,866
wouldn't call it Mother anything.
2200
01:22:06,533 --> 01:22:09,633
They did actually release Earthbound or
2201
01:22:09,633 --> 01:22:11,833
Mother 1, and I believe they called it
2202
01:22:11,833 --> 01:22:12,833
Earthbound Beginnings.
2203
01:22:13,233 --> 01:22:14,333
And they released it on...
2204
01:22:14,833 --> 01:22:16,933
But I meant Mother 3, specifically.
2205
01:22:17,500 --> 01:22:19,266
If they brought Mother 3, yeah.
2206
01:22:19,266 --> 01:22:20,133
What would they call that?
2207
01:22:21,233 --> 01:22:23,366
Earthbound 2, perhaps.
2208
01:22:24,033 --> 01:22:24,666
Earthbound 2?
2209
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,933
Yeah. I mean, it kind of makes sense.
2210
01:22:30,533 --> 01:22:33,233
Yeah. Or Earthbound Picky's Revenge or
2211
01:22:33,233 --> 01:22:33,966
something like that.
2212
01:22:34,766 --> 01:22:37,500
Or would it be Pokey? It's hard to... I
2213
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:38,533
don't know. Time to keep track.
2214
01:22:40,333 --> 01:22:41,566
I sure do miss handheld
2215
01:22:41,566 --> 01:22:43,100
games, man. I know the indies...
2216
01:22:43,666 --> 01:22:45,633
Yeah, I know the indies
2217
01:22:45,633 --> 01:22:47,100
kind of took up that spot.
2218
01:22:47,566 --> 01:22:47,766
Yeah.
2219
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,366
But remember when the big AAA developers
2220
01:22:50,366 --> 01:22:52,300
also made these smaller-scale games?
2221
01:22:53,566 --> 01:22:57,399
Dude, I do. I remember very clearly. I
2222
01:22:57,399 --> 01:22:59,133
mean, even something like Donkey Kong
2223
01:22:59,133 --> 01:23:02,233
Country on the Game Boy Color was crazy.
2224
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:03,333
Do you remember that?
2225
01:23:03,333 --> 01:23:03,899
Did you ever play that?
2226
01:23:05,566 --> 01:23:06,800
That I half-played, actually, yeah.
2227
01:23:07,066 --> 01:23:08,966
Yeah. It's like, they did the
2228
01:23:08,966 --> 01:23:10,166
pre-rendered graphics, but
2229
01:23:10,166 --> 01:23:12,899
with a much limited color set.
2230
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:16,366
Or a bit of color depth, whatever. But
2231
01:23:16,366 --> 01:23:18,600
yeah, it was... I remember being very
2232
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:19,800
shocked when I saw that.
2233
01:23:20,266 --> 01:23:21,399
Yeah. I think some of the best
2234
01:23:21,399 --> 01:23:23,100
games that I've ever played...
2235
01:23:23,566 --> 01:23:24,866
Well, some of my favorite games were Game
2236
01:23:24,866 --> 01:23:26,000
Boy Advance games, too.
2237
01:23:26,433 --> 01:23:26,633
Yeah.
2238
01:23:27,199 --> 01:23:29,166
Like, have you played Mega Man Zero?
2239
01:23:30,033 --> 01:23:30,233
No.
2240
01:23:30,966 --> 01:23:32,566
Dude, you need to play it, man. It's like
2241
01:23:32,566 --> 01:23:35,866
a hardcore, like, 2D action platformer.
2242
01:23:35,866 --> 01:23:37,500
Like, you know what Mega Man is, right?
2243
01:23:37,866 --> 01:23:38,366
Oh, yeah, yeah.
2244
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:39,766
Like, imagine that, but
2245
01:23:39,766 --> 01:23:40,866
like amp it up to like 11.
2246
01:23:41,333 --> 01:23:41,766
Oh, really?
2247
01:23:42,033 --> 01:23:42,933
It's so fucking awesome.
2248
01:23:43,333 --> 01:23:43,433
Nice.
2249
01:23:43,433 --> 01:23:44,133
You need to play it.
2250
01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:47,466
The Zero ZX Collection is on Steam, by
2251
01:23:47,466 --> 01:23:48,466
the way, so they
2252
01:23:48,466 --> 01:23:49,600
brought those games forward.
2253
01:23:50,233 --> 01:23:50,433
Yeah.
2254
01:23:51,766 --> 01:23:53,399
Oh, dude, what was the one I was playing
2255
01:23:53,399 --> 01:23:54,833
the other night? I was on stream and
2256
01:23:54,833 --> 01:23:55,600
like, someone was like,
2257
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:56,266
"You need to play this."
2258
01:23:58,533 --> 01:23:59,933
Is it an indie game?
2259
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:02,933
Or like a triple A game?
2260
01:24:02,933 --> 01:24:07,733
It's an indie style game
2261
01:24:07,733 --> 01:24:11,833
kind of in the vein of Mega Man.
2262
01:24:12,633 --> 01:24:13,966
I think you might have told me about it,
2263
01:24:13,966 --> 01:24:16,033
too. But I don't remember.
2264
01:24:17,533 --> 01:24:19,600
There's a lot of those, because I play a
2265
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,133
lot of like vaguely...
2266
01:24:22,233 --> 01:24:23,433
Alright, like, okay.
2267
01:24:24,633 --> 01:24:26,399
Don't get me started on what Capcom is
2268
01:24:26,399 --> 01:24:27,533
doing with Mega Man.
2269
01:24:27,533 --> 01:24:27,966
Oh, no.
2270
01:24:28,466 --> 01:24:28,866
Which is nothing.
2271
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:29,866
Yeah.
2272
01:24:31,533 --> 01:24:32,833
Where's my purchase
2273
01:24:32,833 --> 01:24:34,133
history? I just bought it.
2274
01:24:34,466 --> 01:24:35,433
Purchase history.
2275
01:24:36,566 --> 01:24:37,699
Purchase history, right here.
2276
01:24:38,533 --> 01:24:38,966
20XX.
2277
01:24:40,533 --> 01:24:42,533
20XX is awesome.
2278
01:24:42,866 --> 01:24:44,966
It's like Mega Man X, but a roguelike.
2279
01:24:45,533 --> 01:24:46,866
Yeah. It's pretty fun.
2280
01:24:47,266 --> 01:24:48,366
I enjoyed it quite a bit.
2281
01:24:48,833 --> 01:24:51,133
They also made a sequel called 30XX.
2282
01:24:51,533 --> 01:24:51,933
Oh, really?
2283
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:52,766
Which is the same
2284
01:24:52,766 --> 01:24:55,533
thing, but like different.
2285
01:24:55,533 --> 01:25:01,300
It also has a lot better pixel art,
2286
01:25:01,300 --> 01:25:03,233
because 20XX kind of has
2287
01:25:03,233 --> 01:25:05,533
its charm with its art style.
2288
01:25:06,633 --> 01:25:07,933
But 30XX just looks
2289
01:25:07,933 --> 01:25:08,899
much better in comparison.
2290
01:25:09,133 --> 01:25:09,933
It actually looks like one
2291
01:25:09,933 --> 01:25:11,533
of the old PS1 Mega Man games.
2292
01:25:11,733 --> 01:25:12,300
Oh, cool.
2293
01:25:13,633 --> 01:25:14,633
Mega Man X games.
2294
01:25:15,133 --> 01:25:18,633
As a huge Homestar Runner fan, I don't
2295
01:25:18,633 --> 01:25:19,600
know why I pronounced it
2296
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,133
20XX, because it should be 20XDX.
2297
01:25:25,733 --> 01:25:26,266
Oh, man.
2298
01:25:26,533 --> 01:25:28,266
Dude, there's more Melee fans out there.
2299
01:25:28,699 --> 01:25:30,633
You know the Melee meme?
2300
01:25:31,666 --> 01:25:33,100
Which I know a few. Which one?
2301
01:25:33,933 --> 01:25:36,166
The one where it's like the year is 20XX.
2302
01:25:37,033 --> 01:25:37,533
Fox only.
2303
01:25:37,966 --> 01:25:38,466
Final destination.
2304
01:25:39,466 --> 01:25:42,300
And it turns out to be a coin flip of
2305
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:45,366
whoever wins, because it's assumed that
2306
01:25:45,366 --> 01:25:47,266
the first player always wins.
2307
01:25:47,266 --> 01:25:49,833
Because of Port Priority
2308
01:25:49,833 --> 01:25:50,733
or some bullshit like that.
2309
01:25:51,133 --> 01:25:51,333
Yeah.
2310
01:25:51,866 --> 01:25:52,266
Oh, that's funny.
2311
01:25:53,633 --> 01:25:54,533
20XDX.
2312
01:25:54,633 --> 01:25:57,033
Homestar Runner is my favorite thing.
2313
01:25:57,833 --> 01:26:00,566
I did watch a little bit of that one.
2314
01:26:00,566 --> 01:26:01,133
I was getting like
2315
01:26:01,133 --> 01:26:03,066
Strong Bad's emails probably.
2316
01:26:03,633 --> 01:26:03,666
Yeah.
2317
01:26:03,666 --> 01:26:04,966
Did you see the one where
2318
01:26:04,966 --> 01:26:06,866
the Japanese cartoon email?
2319
01:26:07,966 --> 01:26:09,833
I think I did, but I
2320
01:26:09,833 --> 01:26:11,533
didn't get it at the time.
2321
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:12,199
Yeah.
2322
01:26:13,633 --> 01:26:14,733
I think I kind of get it now.
2323
01:26:14,933 --> 01:26:15,233
Yeah.
2324
01:26:15,466 --> 01:26:16,699
I don't think I got it at the time
2325
01:26:16,699 --> 01:26:21,866
either, but it was like Homestar, but in
2326
01:26:21,866 --> 01:26:23,533
the Japanese cartoon style.
2327
01:26:23,533 --> 01:26:25,966
It's always like, "What
2328
01:26:25,966 --> 01:26:27,366
are you talking about?"
2329
01:26:27,866 --> 01:26:28,633
20XDX.
2330
01:26:29,533 --> 01:26:30,333
And he has like blue
2331
01:26:30,333 --> 01:26:31,800
hair on over his mask.
2332
01:26:32,366 --> 01:26:32,566
Yeah.
2333
01:26:33,166 --> 01:26:34,766
I don't get talking about it.
2334
01:26:34,933 --> 01:26:36,033
Oh man, it's so funny.
2335
01:26:37,100 --> 01:26:39,133
I love Homestar Runner. I
2336
01:26:39,133 --> 01:26:40,166
could talk about it for ages.
2337
01:26:41,466 --> 01:26:43,699
But speaking of our favorite games of all
2338
01:26:43,699 --> 01:26:44,633
time, because we were
2339
01:26:44,633 --> 01:26:45,633
just talking about that.
2340
01:26:46,300 --> 01:26:46,833
Roblox.
2341
01:26:48,533 --> 01:26:50,533
Is not my favorite game.
2342
01:26:51,533 --> 01:26:53,800
Roblox is my favorite game to hate.
2343
01:26:56,233 --> 01:26:59,433
So Roblox just smashed their concurrent
2344
01:26:59,433 --> 01:27:01,466
user record thanks to a
2345
01:27:01,466 --> 01:27:03,366
war between two games.
2346
01:27:04,466 --> 01:27:06,433
I don't know the first thing about Roblox
2347
01:27:06,433 --> 01:27:09,300
except it's cruel and unusual punishment.
2348
01:27:10,199 --> 01:27:11,466
Tell me what's going on here.
2349
01:27:11,966 --> 01:27:13,866
So it's more accurate to describe Roblox
2350
01:27:13,866 --> 01:27:17,133
as a platform because it's a user
2351
01:27:17,133 --> 01:27:19,533
generated hellscape for the most part.
2352
01:27:20,533 --> 01:27:22,166
And I don't know jack squat about what
2353
01:27:22,166 --> 01:27:23,399
these games are to be honest.
2354
01:27:23,899 --> 01:27:24,366
Mm hmm.
2355
01:27:24,366 --> 01:27:26,133
Grow a garden and steal a brain rot.
2356
01:27:26,533 --> 01:27:28,833
But the important thing is it has more
2357
01:27:28,833 --> 01:27:31,233
users and steam than all of steam.
2358
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:33,833
Which is crazy to me.
2359
01:27:35,633 --> 01:27:37,966
I did not know that fact and it has made
2360
01:27:37,966 --> 01:27:39,466
me lose a little faith in humanity.
2361
01:27:40,733 --> 01:27:42,133
It's mostly kids though to be honest.
2362
01:27:42,533 --> 01:27:42,733
Yeah.
2363
01:27:43,566 --> 01:27:45,800
This reminds me, I saw a post on Twitter
2364
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,666
like a few weeks ago talking about what
2365
01:27:48,666 --> 01:27:50,766
happens if I lose access to Roblox and
2366
01:27:50,766 --> 01:27:51,699
then everyone was just
2367
01:27:51,699 --> 01:27:53,133
like play a real game.
2368
01:27:53,500 --> 01:27:53,699
Yeah.
2369
01:27:54,733 --> 01:27:57,433
I like like Roblox.
2370
01:27:58,333 --> 01:28:00,366
I played a little Roblox with my nieces
2371
01:28:00,366 --> 01:28:02,333
because that's like the game they play.
2372
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,766
And they like to do like little like mini
2373
01:28:05,766 --> 01:28:07,533
games like hobbies and whatnot.
2374
01:28:07,566 --> 01:28:12,066
But like a lot of Roblox games are just
2375
01:28:12,066 --> 01:28:14,800
ripoffs of like existing games.
2376
01:28:15,533 --> 01:28:17,866
Like they have Roblox Counter Strike
2377
01:28:17,866 --> 01:28:20,966
where it's made to like
2378
01:28:20,966 --> 01:28:22,100
emulate the feel of counter.
2379
01:28:22,466 --> 01:28:24,199
Like there's a bunch of people that have
2380
01:28:24,199 --> 01:28:27,266
the talent to make actual games.
2381
01:28:28,433 --> 01:28:28,533
Yeah.
2382
01:28:28,533 --> 01:28:29,666
They just make games and Roblox.
2383
01:28:29,899 --> 01:28:31,399
Like I promise you if you can make an
2384
01:28:31,399 --> 01:28:33,066
action if you can make a game in Roblox
2385
01:28:33,066 --> 01:28:33,833
you would make a lot
2386
01:28:33,833 --> 01:28:34,533
more money probably out.
2387
01:28:34,533 --> 01:28:38,433
I don't know if that's necessarily true.
2388
01:28:39,300 --> 01:28:40,166
Now that I think about it.
2389
01:28:40,633 --> 01:28:40,833
Yeah.
2390
01:28:41,033 --> 01:28:42,566
I know Roblox takes like 80 percent of
2391
01:28:42,566 --> 01:28:43,933
the cut which is which is
2392
01:28:43,933 --> 01:28:45,833
an insane exploitation man.
2393
01:28:46,166 --> 01:28:47,766
That's capitalism.
2394
01:28:50,066 --> 01:28:52,766
Dude, Rob, everything about Roblox sucks.
2395
01:28:55,533 --> 01:28:58,033
And then it's just a bunch of people
2396
01:28:58,033 --> 01:29:01,333
trying to charge up the ass for like
2397
01:29:01,333 --> 01:29:02,533
advantages to their game.
2398
01:29:02,533 --> 01:29:05,233
Like these are just regular.
2399
01:29:05,233 --> 01:29:06,333
These are people implementing
2400
01:29:06,333 --> 01:29:07,633
microtransactions in their
2401
01:29:07,633 --> 01:29:09,866
games in the form of Robux.
2402
01:29:11,666 --> 01:29:11,866
Yeah.
2403
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,366
Everything about Roblox is
2404
01:29:14,366 --> 01:29:15,633
just not great in my opinion.
2405
01:29:15,933 --> 01:29:19,466
The games are mediocre at best.
2406
01:29:19,466 --> 01:29:20,333
I don't think I've played it.
2407
01:29:20,966 --> 01:29:21,966
I don't think I don't think there's a
2408
01:29:21,966 --> 01:29:24,566
single super good experience that
2409
01:29:24,566 --> 01:29:26,433
requires you to download Roblox.
2410
01:29:26,433 --> 01:29:28,533
I mean some people say Fortnite is kind
2411
01:29:28,533 --> 01:29:30,833
of the same way but at least Fortnite is
2412
01:29:30,833 --> 01:29:32,533
actually pretty fun sometimes.
2413
01:29:33,533 --> 01:29:33,833
Is it?
2414
01:29:34,166 --> 01:29:36,199
I've never I've never given it a try.
2415
01:29:36,566 --> 01:29:38,666
I mean it depends.
2416
01:29:39,533 --> 01:29:40,899
But Fortnite does have
2417
01:29:40,899 --> 01:29:43,366
Guitar Hero in it now built in.
2418
01:29:43,666 --> 01:29:43,866
What?
2419
01:29:44,766 --> 01:29:45,800
Yeah, it's called Fortnite Festival.
2420
01:29:48,533 --> 01:29:49,966
Okay, that's crazy.
2421
01:29:50,366 --> 01:29:50,899
I didn't know.
2422
01:29:50,899 --> 01:29:52,366
Oh no, they bought harmonics.
2423
01:29:52,366 --> 01:29:52,833
That's right.
2424
01:29:53,466 --> 01:29:55,066
Yeah, so it's literally
2425
01:29:55,066 --> 01:29:57,933
Guitar Hero in Fortnite.
2426
01:29:58,366 --> 01:29:58,566
Wow.
2427
01:29:58,866 --> 01:29:59,833
Oh shit, now you have an
2428
01:29:59,833 --> 01:30:01,466
excuse to have Fortnite.
2429
01:30:01,533 --> 01:30:06,566
Well, I don't play games on any platform
2430
01:30:06,566 --> 01:30:07,866
that actually supports Fortnite.
2431
01:30:09,533 --> 01:30:11,666
Oh yeah, that's right.
2432
01:30:11,666 --> 01:30:12,866
Linux sells the Fortnite.
2433
01:30:13,366 --> 01:30:14,866
Yeah, well, they don't
2434
01:30:14,866 --> 01:30:16,233
support Linux, but yeah.
2435
01:30:17,933 --> 01:30:18,133
Right.
2436
01:30:18,899 --> 01:30:20,733
Oh my god.
2437
01:30:21,033 --> 01:30:24,333
So this Roblox war, this is because
2438
01:30:24,333 --> 01:30:27,166
there's two games that are basically
2439
01:30:27,166 --> 01:30:29,533
going viral on Roblox.
2440
01:30:29,566 --> 01:30:31,733
And competing against each other to see
2441
01:30:31,733 --> 01:30:36,666
who can have the most games.
2442
01:30:36,966 --> 01:30:39,066
So Grow a Garden had 22
2443
01:30:39,066 --> 01:30:40,666
million concurrent players.
2444
01:30:42,233 --> 01:30:43,500
I think that's more than any
2445
01:30:43,500 --> 01:30:45,666
game on Steam has ever had.
2446
01:30:45,699 --> 01:30:46,366
That's insane.
2447
01:30:46,833 --> 01:30:48,933
Well, actually, let me double check that.
2448
01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:51,833
The top records on Steam are as follows.
2449
01:30:52,533 --> 01:30:58,533
PUBG with a staggering 3,236,027 players.
2450
01:30:59,533 --> 01:31:01,699
The green mine is the most?
2451
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,333
Yes, for a single game on Steam.
2452
01:31:04,933 --> 01:31:05,133
Wow.
2453
01:31:06,066 --> 01:31:08,166
PUBG, and then we have Blacksmith Wukong
2454
01:31:08,166 --> 01:31:10,633
at a 2.4 million, and then
2455
01:31:10,633 --> 01:31:12,333
Power World at a 2.1 million.
2456
01:31:13,333 --> 01:31:13,566
Wow.
2457
01:31:14,066 --> 01:31:15,666
Now, I was rooting for Power World to
2458
01:31:15,666 --> 01:31:17,399
beat PUBG because, like,
2459
01:31:17,833 --> 01:31:19,033
yeah, but that's PUBG, right?
2460
01:31:19,333 --> 01:31:19,533
Yeah.
2461
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:21,533
That's wild, dude.
2462
01:31:22,533 --> 01:31:29,066
So one game on Roblox had basically, not
2463
01:31:29,066 --> 01:31:30,466
really an order of magnitude, I guess,
2464
01:31:30,466 --> 01:31:35,433
but like 20 million more players than the
2465
01:31:35,433 --> 01:31:37,833
most played game ever on Steam.
2466
01:31:39,133 --> 01:31:39,333
Yes.
2467
01:31:39,333 --> 01:31:40,399
In terms of concurrent users.
2468
01:31:40,833 --> 01:31:42,600
So let me add all these numbers up for
2469
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,533
you and tell you just how bad shit got.
2470
01:31:46,533 --> 01:31:51,966
So let's just do 3.2 plus 2.4 plus 2.1
2471
01:31:51,966 --> 01:31:57,333
plus 1.8 plus 1.3 plus...
2472
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,366
Yeah, I mean, it's more than the top 10
2473
01:32:03,366 --> 01:32:05,133
games combined on Steam.
2474
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:07,533
That's absolutely wild.
2475
01:32:08,533 --> 01:32:11,633
Steel of Brainrot is not more than... is
2476
01:32:11,633 --> 01:32:13,466
that 15 million, which is still a lot
2477
01:32:13,466 --> 01:32:16,266
more than most of the games combined, but
2478
01:32:16,266 --> 01:32:20,399
not nearly as much as Grow a Garden.
2479
01:32:20,399 --> 01:32:21,533
What is Grow a Garden?
2480
01:32:21,733 --> 01:32:22,966
And now we gotta see what
2481
01:32:22,966 --> 01:32:24,966
makes this... what even is this?
2482
01:32:28,166 --> 01:32:34,433
So it's like Farmville, right?
2483
01:32:35,199 --> 01:32:36,533
It kinda looks like that, yeah.
2484
01:32:37,533 --> 01:32:38,399
What? It's a clicker
2485
01:32:38,399 --> 01:32:40,066
game? It's a clicker game?
2486
01:32:41,533 --> 01:32:42,199
You're kidding.
2487
01:32:43,733 --> 01:32:44,500
Maybe that's why it's...
2488
01:32:45,199 --> 01:32:46,366
So yeah, so it says it's
2489
01:32:46,366 --> 01:32:47,666
essentially a clicker game.
2490
01:32:47,666 --> 01:32:49,333
You buy plants, wait for them to grow,
2491
01:32:49,333 --> 01:32:51,066
sell them, and then repeat the process,
2492
01:32:51,433 --> 01:32:52,899
buying bigger and
2493
01:32:52,899 --> 01:32:54,333
better plants as you go.
2494
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,566
Plants grow offline, so players are
2495
01:32:56,566 --> 01:32:58,733
incentivized to get their garden all set
2496
01:32:58,733 --> 01:33:00,533
up and log back in each day to harvest.
2497
01:33:01,533 --> 01:33:04,000
Wait, so the plants grow offline? Why are
2498
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:04,966
there 22 million
2499
01:33:04,966 --> 01:33:07,100
people on at the same time?
2500
01:33:08,066 --> 01:33:09,033
I don't... I don't
2501
01:33:09,033 --> 01:33:11,800
understand. I am very confused by this.
2502
01:33:12,566 --> 01:33:14,533
I think we are officially boomers, dude.
2503
01:33:14,666 --> 01:33:16,233
Dude, some kids are gonna come here and
2504
01:33:16,233 --> 01:33:18,800
be like, "Okay, boomer." And
2505
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:19,833
then that's just gonna be that.
2506
01:33:20,233 --> 01:33:22,466
I think it should give our listeners
2507
01:33:22,466 --> 01:33:24,266
confidence, though, that we don't play.
2508
01:33:24,966 --> 01:33:27,033
Roblox, and we have no idea
2509
01:33:27,033 --> 01:33:28,233
why this would be popular.
2510
01:33:30,566 --> 01:33:32,533
I wish James were here. He'd make some
2511
01:33:32,533 --> 01:33:34,166
snarky remarks on Roblox.
2512
01:33:34,866 --> 01:33:37,166
Yeah. Yikes.
2513
01:33:38,033 --> 01:33:38,833
Dude, this is just
2514
01:33:38,833 --> 01:33:41,033
bananas to me. I can't...
2515
01:33:41,533 --> 01:33:43,333
That just shows you, like, if he made a
2516
01:33:43,333 --> 01:33:45,366
browser-based clicker game, it would
2517
01:33:45,366 --> 01:33:46,433
probably do really well.
2518
01:33:48,366 --> 01:33:50,066
Damn. Why don't you do that, Gardiner?
2519
01:33:51,233 --> 01:33:52,066
Why don't I do that?
2520
01:33:53,433 --> 01:33:55,633
You can call it the heavy element, and
2521
01:33:55,633 --> 01:33:57,600
then you invest in different elements,
2522
01:33:57,933 --> 01:33:58,533
starting with Hydrogen,
2523
01:33:58,533 --> 01:34:00,766
and then you go all the way up to...
2524
01:34:02,899 --> 01:34:04,866
The ones that don't have official names
2525
01:34:04,866 --> 01:34:07,633
yet, like Une, Uub, or whatever.
2526
01:34:08,166 --> 01:34:09,633
Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, you
2527
01:34:09,633 --> 01:34:11,066
definitely... What if you called it
2528
01:34:11,066 --> 01:34:13,466
"click a star" and you have to create a
2529
01:34:13,466 --> 01:34:15,066
star that forges specific elements?
2530
01:34:16,566 --> 01:34:17,899
That would be kinda neat.
2531
01:34:19,933 --> 01:34:20,933
Gardiner, you don't have to do it.
2532
01:34:21,166 --> 01:34:21,366
What?
2533
01:34:22,633 --> 01:34:24,333
Make it happen. You gotta make it happen.
2534
01:34:24,833 --> 01:34:25,033
Okay.
2535
01:34:26,166 --> 01:34:29,633
But anyway, this is insane.
2536
01:34:30,333 --> 01:34:32,500
Yeah. I can't believe this.
2537
01:34:33,766 --> 01:34:37,166
Whatever. I mean, teach their own, yeah.
2538
01:34:38,500 --> 01:34:40,766
But in addition to this, Roblox also made
2539
01:34:40,766 --> 01:34:42,699
a significant change to
2540
01:34:42,699 --> 01:34:45,266
their mature content policy.
2541
01:34:45,966 --> 01:34:46,733
Mm-hmm.
2542
01:34:47,233 --> 01:34:51,166
So, what I don't understand is why Roblox
2543
01:34:51,166 --> 01:34:52,533
even has mature content to begin with.
2544
01:34:53,533 --> 01:34:56,333
Yeah, no, that doesn't make
2545
01:34:56,333 --> 01:34:58,533
a whole lot of sense to me.
2546
01:34:58,533 --> 01:35:02,600
Yeah, like Fortnite, I don't believe has
2547
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,833
mature content the same way, you know,
2548
01:35:05,833 --> 01:35:09,966
like, the same way fucking Roblox does.
2549
01:35:10,466 --> 01:35:10,899
Mm-hmm.
2550
01:35:12,733 --> 01:35:15,466
So, I also find it really weird that they
2551
01:35:15,466 --> 01:35:17,800
restricted their mature content behind 17
2552
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:19,533
plus as opposed to 18 plus.
2553
01:35:20,533 --> 01:35:24,466
Um, I have a hot take that I'm just not
2554
01:35:24,466 --> 01:35:26,466
gonna share, but I think there's some
2555
01:35:26,466 --> 01:35:29,733
real corruption at the
2556
01:35:29,733 --> 01:35:31,466
top of Roblox company.
2557
01:35:32,133 --> 01:35:35,100
I think so too. Were you there that week
2558
01:35:35,100 --> 01:35:35,800
when we talked about how
2559
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:38,033
Roblox banned a guy named Shlep?
2560
01:35:39,166 --> 01:35:40,566
Yeah, I don't think I was there for that.
2561
01:35:41,666 --> 01:35:43,266
Yeah, so do you know
2562
01:35:43,266 --> 01:35:44,533
anything about this story at all?
2563
01:35:44,933 --> 01:35:45,966
I've seen some coverage
2564
01:35:45,966 --> 01:35:46,533
of it, but not a whole lot.
2565
01:35:47,533 --> 01:35:51,866
So, essentially, Shlep was a hunt, was a
2566
01:35:51,866 --> 01:35:55,366
PDF, not PDF hunter.
2567
01:35:57,366 --> 01:36:00,166
But I hate saying that for like
2568
01:36:00,166 --> 01:36:01,333
self-censoring on YouTube.
2569
01:36:01,866 --> 01:36:02,066
Yeah.
2570
01:36:02,266 --> 01:36:02,933
It's bullshit.
2571
01:36:03,733 --> 01:36:06,800
He was a predator hunter on Roblox who
2572
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:08,500
would, you know, and he worked with
2573
01:36:08,500 --> 01:36:10,066
authorities and he got a couple of
2574
01:36:10,066 --> 01:36:11,100
successful arrests, right?
2575
01:36:11,533 --> 01:36:11,933
Mm-hmm.
2576
01:36:12,533 --> 01:36:14,133
But they banned him and they sent a cease
2577
01:36:14,133 --> 01:36:15,433
and desist. They
2578
01:36:15,433 --> 01:36:17,166
threatened legal action against him.
2579
01:36:17,899 --> 01:36:20,333
Which is terrible because apparently it's
2580
01:36:20,333 --> 01:36:22,233
more than just doing content. It's like
2581
01:36:22,233 --> 01:36:23,866
personal for him because apparently he
2582
01:36:23,866 --> 01:36:25,766
himself was a victim on Roblox.
2583
01:36:26,333 --> 01:36:29,166
Yeah. I mean, I was gonna say like it
2584
01:36:29,166 --> 01:36:32,699
probably isn't that difficult to find out
2585
01:36:32,699 --> 01:36:34,433
these predators, you know?
2586
01:36:35,766 --> 01:36:39,533
Yeah. And so, but rather than Roblox
2587
01:36:39,533 --> 01:36:40,533
doing the right thing,
2588
01:36:41,533 --> 01:36:45,766
they instead decided to fucking, they
2589
01:36:45,766 --> 01:36:48,066
instead they decided to like sue him.
2590
01:36:48,533 --> 01:36:51,066
Legally threatening him. And this has
2591
01:36:51,066 --> 01:36:55,033
caused a cascade of like terrible things
2592
01:36:55,033 --> 01:36:55,966
happening to Roblox.
2593
01:36:55,966 --> 01:36:58,966
For example, Chris Hansen is
2594
01:36:58,966 --> 01:37:00,433
investigating them with Shlep too.
2595
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:03,500
And I think this is in response to that
2596
01:37:03,500 --> 01:37:05,866
because they definitely wouldn't have
2597
01:37:05,866 --> 01:37:07,133
done this change otherwise.
2598
01:37:07,566 --> 01:37:07,833
Right.
2599
01:37:09,933 --> 01:37:11,566
Yeah. So starting today. This
2600
01:37:11,566 --> 01:37:13,733
is what the announcement says.
2601
01:37:14,066 --> 01:37:15,833
Starting today, users under the age of 18
2602
01:37:15,833 --> 01:37:18,133
will no longer see search results or
2603
01:37:18,133 --> 01:37:20,233
recommendations for experiences with
2604
01:37:20,233 --> 01:37:22,533
restricted content maturity labels.
2605
01:37:23,699 --> 01:37:26,466
Reasonable minds must inquire why was
2606
01:37:26,466 --> 01:37:27,533
this not the case before?
2607
01:37:28,533 --> 01:37:30,766
This change will decrease the visibility
2608
01:37:30,766 --> 01:37:32,433
of content that may not be age
2609
01:37:32,433 --> 01:37:33,533
appropriate for younger audiences.
2610
01:37:34,533 --> 01:37:37,266
Holy crap. My blood is boiling. Later
2611
01:37:37,266 --> 01:37:39,566
this year, access to experiences with
2612
01:37:39,566 --> 01:37:41,466
restricted content maturity labels will
2613
01:37:41,466 --> 01:37:43,433
be completely blocked for all users under
2614
01:37:43,433 --> 01:37:45,666
the age of 18 and increase,
2615
01:37:46,533 --> 01:37:47,666
an increase from the
2616
01:37:47,666 --> 01:37:49,266
current 17 plus requirement.
2617
01:37:49,833 --> 01:37:51,366
Please refer to our restricted content
2618
01:37:51,366 --> 01:37:53,500
policy for more information on what is
2619
01:37:53,500 --> 01:37:55,533
permitted in these experiences.
2620
01:37:56,533 --> 01:38:00,399
Hi, can you explain to me why mature
2621
01:38:00,399 --> 01:38:02,833
content was being advertised in search
2622
01:38:02,833 --> 01:38:03,933
results to children?
2623
01:38:06,033 --> 01:38:07,766
Don't ask me, man. Ask the Roblox CEO.
2624
01:38:09,133 --> 01:38:12,766
Well, so I will say that it's genius on
2625
01:38:12,766 --> 01:38:16,633
their part because kids always want to
2626
01:38:16,633 --> 01:38:19,199
access things that they know they
2627
01:38:19,199 --> 01:38:19,533
shouldn't be accessing. Right.
2628
01:38:20,533 --> 01:38:25,433
But also it is highly wrong. It is like
2629
01:38:25,433 --> 01:38:28,300
the the the the height of
2630
01:38:28,300 --> 01:38:30,433
villainy to do that. Right.
2631
01:38:30,433 --> 01:38:32,399
Like it's genius in an evil genius kind
2632
01:38:32,399 --> 01:38:36,633
of way. And so I'm you know, as if I
2633
01:38:36,633 --> 01:38:38,600
needed a reason before to hate Roblox.
2634
01:38:38,866 --> 01:38:40,433
Like I didn't even understand that they
2635
01:38:40,433 --> 01:38:44,066
were advertising. Yeah.
2636
01:38:44,333 --> 01:38:44,533
This is content. Yeah.
2637
01:38:44,566 --> 01:38:47,433
Yeah. Like this, I actually was not aware
2638
01:38:47,433 --> 01:38:49,433
of at all, to be honest. I don't know,
2639
01:38:49,433 --> 01:38:50,233
Jack Squad about Roblox.
2640
01:38:52,633 --> 01:38:54,933
Even Steam, which is like literally laden
2641
01:38:54,933 --> 01:38:57,133
with adult content everywhere, requires
2642
01:38:57,133 --> 01:38:58,866
it to be like opt in.
2643
01:38:59,866 --> 01:39:01,133
Like you have to go out of your way to
2644
01:39:01,133 --> 01:39:02,600
enable that shit. Right.
2645
01:39:03,966 --> 01:39:07,033
This is so this is enabled by default for
2646
01:39:07,033 --> 01:39:08,533
anyone that just joins Roblox.
2647
01:39:08,566 --> 01:39:11,566
What I don't understand is why they
2648
01:39:11,566 --> 01:39:15,666
couldn't just access restrict access to
2649
01:39:15,666 --> 01:39:18,000
this restricted stuff immediately instead
2650
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,000
of having it be later this year.
2651
01:39:20,533 --> 01:39:25,433
Yeah. That bothers the mind. I don't I
2652
01:39:25,433 --> 01:39:26,566
also don't understand why it's
2653
01:39:26,566 --> 01:39:28,233
it was 17 plus to begin with.
2654
01:39:28,533 --> 01:39:30,466
Oh, I think I get it. Why now? I think
2655
01:39:30,466 --> 01:39:31,633
it's because they were trying to follow
2656
01:39:31,633 --> 01:39:34,533
like the ESRB standard of like M rated
2657
01:39:34,533 --> 01:39:37,666
games being 17 plus instead of 18 plus.
2658
01:39:38,533 --> 01:39:42,166
That is the weakest cop out. That
2659
01:39:42,166 --> 01:39:44,166
probably is. Yeah. But it's the only
2660
01:39:44,166 --> 01:39:46,733
explanation I can actually think of. Oh,
2661
01:39:47,633 --> 01:39:51,000
which begs the question. Why? Why are M
2662
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,566
rated games 17 plus instead of 18 plus?
2663
01:39:53,566 --> 01:39:54,333
Why do we have a separate
2664
01:39:54,333 --> 01:39:55,533
category for that altogether?
2665
01:39:56,533 --> 01:40:00,533
Well, so a lot of when it comes to like
2666
01:40:00,533 --> 01:40:03,433
ESRB ratings, my understanding is that
2667
01:40:03,433 --> 01:40:05,366
there was a lot of pressure from
2668
01:40:05,366 --> 01:40:11,233
retailers. They didn't want a they didn't
2669
01:40:11,233 --> 01:40:13,166
they wanted like an adult only category
2670
01:40:13,166 --> 01:40:17,166
and they didn't want that to be like
2671
01:40:17,166 --> 01:40:18,866
confused with mature ratings.
2672
01:40:19,933 --> 01:40:20,533
I believe that's the answer, but I don't know for sure.
2673
01:40:20,533 --> 01:40:27,833
Well, that sounds kind of stupid. Yeah, I
2674
01:40:27,833 --> 01:40:30,333
guess whatever the ESRB stupid anyways.
2675
01:40:30,833 --> 01:40:33,366
Yeah, it's it's super corrupt as well.
2676
01:40:33,966 --> 01:40:35,333
The essay as a whole is a corrupt as
2677
01:40:35,333 --> 01:40:37,066
well. Everything is corrupt to be honest.
2678
01:40:37,333 --> 01:40:38,733
Oh, dude. We yeah, we
2679
01:40:38,733 --> 01:40:39,899
live in the dumbest timeline.
2680
01:40:41,500 --> 01:40:43,533
But yeah, I mean, so it says here that you need an ID, a government issued ID.
2681
01:40:43,533 --> 01:40:52,533
Which is a little bit of a step up from
2682
01:40:52,533 --> 01:40:54,899
what steam is doing, which is just having
2683
01:40:54,899 --> 01:40:58,933
a credit card on file. Yeah. Do we think
2684
01:40:58,933 --> 01:41:01,500
it's better or worse having a government
2685
01:41:01,500 --> 01:41:04,533
ID? I mean, like, look, if you have a government ID, if you have a credit card, like if they're not doing anything to actually verify, like, you know, they're not doing anything to verify.
2686
01:41:05,699 --> 01:41:08,899
Like, look, if you have a government ID,
2687
01:41:08,899 --> 01:41:11,000
if you have a credit card, like if
2688
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:12,366
they're not doing anything to actually
2689
01:41:12,366 --> 01:41:14,933
verify that the that the person
2690
01:41:14,933 --> 01:41:17,133
submitting it is the person who you know,
2691
01:41:17,133 --> 01:41:19,733
those things belong to, then it's kind of
2692
01:41:19,733 --> 01:41:21,133
a moot point, right? Like a kid could
2693
01:41:21,133 --> 01:41:23,833
just, you know, take it snap a picture of
2694
01:41:23,833 --> 01:41:26,533
their mom's credit ID.
2695
01:41:26,666 --> 01:41:29,066
And if they're not verifying it, I don't
2696
01:41:29,066 --> 01:41:32,366
know if they are not. But like, I don't
2697
01:41:32,366 --> 01:41:34,633
know, it feels like the absolute minimum
2698
01:41:34,633 --> 01:41:38,566
they could be doing. So I don't know.
2699
01:41:38,566 --> 01:41:40,000
What do you think about it?
2700
01:41:41,166 --> 01:41:43,333
I think that's still I think it's a fair
2701
01:41:43,333 --> 01:41:46,133
point. I think they do have to ensure
2702
01:41:46,133 --> 01:41:50,100
that these IDs are they belong to the
2703
01:41:50,100 --> 01:41:52,966
person that they the people that claim
2704
01:41:52,966 --> 01:41:55,133
who they are. And I think
2705
01:41:55,133 --> 01:41:56,533
credit cards are, they're not.
2706
01:41:57,333 --> 01:41:58,966
Are decent way of doing that. But at the
2707
01:41:58,966 --> 01:42:01,166
same time, though, yeah, I mean, kids
2708
01:42:01,166 --> 01:42:02,966
steal credit cards all the time. Like, I
2709
01:42:02,966 --> 01:42:05,066
remember hearing this a couple years ago,
2710
01:42:05,666 --> 01:42:07,633
many years ago about how MapleStory was
2711
01:42:07,633 --> 01:42:09,566
causing kids to steal their parents
2712
01:42:09,566 --> 01:42:12,233
credit cards to buy all the cool shit.
2713
01:42:13,533 --> 01:42:17,433
So like, what's the I think, but to be
2714
01:42:17,433 --> 01:42:18,800
fair, though, I think really, you should
2715
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,100
really be locking that up and preventing
2716
01:42:20,100 --> 01:42:21,333
your kids from getting access to the
2717
01:42:21,333 --> 01:42:22,866
begin with, I think at the very least,
2718
01:42:23,066 --> 01:42:24,533
you can, you know, be a good parent.
2719
01:42:25,533 --> 01:42:25,733
Yeah.
2720
01:42:28,266 --> 01:42:29,699
Because I think you because I think if
2721
01:42:29,699 --> 01:42:30,933
they're at the point where they're
2722
01:42:30,933 --> 01:42:33,266
stealing credit cards or like your IDs or
2723
01:42:33,266 --> 01:42:34,666
whatever, then I think you have a much
2724
01:42:34,666 --> 01:42:36,033
bigger problem than
2725
01:42:36,033 --> 01:42:38,533
accessing adult content and Roblox.
2726
01:42:39,633 --> 01:42:43,733
Yeah, I mean, if dude, if you're if the
2727
01:42:43,733 --> 01:42:46,600
there is a measure of personal
2728
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,466
responsibility and like parental
2729
01:42:48,466 --> 01:42:51,233
responsibility. But like these games,
2730
01:42:51,866 --> 01:42:54,133
these platforms are designed to be as
2731
01:42:54,133 --> 01:42:55,533
addictive as they possibly can be.
2732
01:42:56,533 --> 01:42:59,666
They're taking their cues from from
2733
01:42:59,666 --> 01:43:02,300
casinos, right? Like, they literally are
2734
01:43:02,300 --> 01:43:05,933
hiring psychologists and even steam is
2735
01:43:05,933 --> 01:43:07,166
guilty of this. They're hiring
2736
01:43:07,166 --> 01:43:12,266
psychologists to to maximize platform
2737
01:43:12,266 --> 01:43:14,533
growth and revenue, you know.
2738
01:43:15,533 --> 01:43:18,566
So, you know, I think it's a bit of a
2739
01:43:18,566 --> 01:43:21,733
misdirection to say that, like, it's only
2740
01:43:21,733 --> 01:43:25,466
on parents to, you know, make sure that
2741
01:43:25,466 --> 01:43:26,866
they're locking up their
2742
01:43:26,866 --> 01:43:28,133
their credit card in the safe.
2743
01:43:28,566 --> 01:43:31,133
That's that's just it's on these
2744
01:43:31,133 --> 01:43:33,533
platforms who are making these addictive
2745
01:43:33,533 --> 01:43:38,233
experiences and making them available,
2746
01:43:39,166 --> 01:43:39,733
not even make them
2747
01:43:39,733 --> 01:43:41,533
available, targeting children. Right.
2748
01:43:42,533 --> 01:43:45,966
Yeah, it needs to be further regulation
2749
01:43:45,966 --> 01:43:49,266
that, you know, frankly, Roblox should
2750
01:43:49,266 --> 01:43:51,966
not exist, in my opinion. I know that's
2751
01:43:51,966 --> 01:43:54,533
probably a hot take, but it's just it's
2752
01:43:54,533 --> 01:43:57,733
it's so clearly evil. It does not have a
2753
01:43:57,733 --> 01:43:59,133
right to exist in this world.
2754
01:43:59,899 --> 01:44:01,300
You know, what's crazy is that Roblox has
2755
01:44:01,300 --> 01:44:03,466
existed for like 20 plus years at this
2756
01:44:03,466 --> 01:44:06,500
point already. 20 years. Yeah, Roblox is
2757
01:44:06,500 --> 01:44:08,399
old, man. Wow. Let me see
2758
01:44:08,399 --> 01:44:08,533
how old it is, actually.
2759
01:44:08,566 --> 01:44:12,533
But it's been around for a pretty long
2760
01:44:12,533 --> 01:44:17,000
time. 2004. Oh, my God. Released to the
2761
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,266
public in 2006. I think it was an open
2762
01:44:19,266 --> 01:44:21,866
beta or like beta in 2004
2763
01:44:21,866 --> 01:44:23,166
or something like that. Wow.
2764
01:44:23,399 --> 01:44:25,033
But it's over 20 years old. It's older
2765
01:44:25,033 --> 01:44:26,366
than most of the kit, most of the player
2766
01:44:26,366 --> 01:44:29,033
base. Yeah, that's wild. I didn't even
2767
01:44:29,033 --> 01:44:31,266
realize that. Yeah, I think it's only
2768
01:44:31,266 --> 01:44:33,500
blown up in recent times, to be honest.
2769
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,066
But I don't know. If I had to guess, it's
2770
01:44:36,066 --> 01:44:36,533
probably covid. Yeah.
2771
01:44:37,533 --> 01:44:44,699
Yeah. Oh, I'd imagine. I don't know. God
2772
01:44:44,699 --> 01:44:46,966
damn it, Roblox. Why do you have to be
2773
01:44:46,966 --> 01:44:50,333
this way? You could have just existed. If
2774
01:44:50,333 --> 01:44:52,500
you just didn't allow user generated
2775
01:44:52,500 --> 01:44:55,100
adult content on there, you could have
2776
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:55,533
just existed fine. Yeah.
2777
01:44:56,533 --> 01:44:59,733
Dude, it just it's a platform that is
2778
01:44:59,733 --> 01:45:02,366
designed for kids and it has literally
2779
01:45:02,366 --> 01:45:05,633
zero business having 18 plus content on
2780
01:45:05,633 --> 01:45:10,100
it, like at all. And the CEO, we talked
2781
01:45:10,100 --> 01:45:11,000
about this a couple of times. Remember
2782
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,266
the CEO was talking some bullshit about
2783
01:45:13,266 --> 01:45:16,533
making a dating platform on Roblox? Yeah.
2784
01:45:16,566 --> 01:45:21,233
What the fuck? I didn't know it was legal
2785
01:45:21,233 --> 01:45:26,366
to create PDF file dating apps. Only on
2786
01:45:26,366 --> 01:45:30,133
Roblox, apparently. Yeah. Oh, my gosh,
2787
01:45:30,133 --> 01:45:32,899
dude. So it makes me sick when I think
2788
01:45:32,899 --> 01:45:39,199
about it, man. Anyway. Yeah. So you mind
2789
01:45:39,199 --> 01:45:41,233
scrolling down? Yeah. Is there more
2790
01:45:41,233 --> 01:45:42,333
stuff? Let's read the
2791
01:45:42,333 --> 01:45:43,533
comments. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2792
01:45:45,533 --> 01:45:47,433
Finally, the 17 plus thing was odd. I
2793
01:45:47,433 --> 01:45:49,433
felt like and I felt like a carried
2794
01:45:49,433 --> 01:45:52,833
subtext. Yeah. Kind of sad since a lot of
2795
01:45:52,833 --> 01:45:54,433
these games were great and I turned 17 a
2796
01:45:54,433 --> 01:45:56,166
few months ago. Now I got to wait longer.
2797
01:45:56,733 --> 01:45:59,066
Maybe there should be a 16 plus options.
2798
01:45:59,066 --> 01:46:00,566
A lot of these games could be ID
2799
01:46:00,566 --> 01:46:02,033
verification 16 plus
2800
01:46:02,033 --> 01:46:04,533
ID verification 16 plus.
2801
01:46:05,533 --> 01:46:09,000
Dude, no, dude, imagine being 16 years
2802
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,600
old and being like, Mom, can we go get me
2803
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,699
an ID? I mean, some of them might have
2804
01:46:13,699 --> 01:46:15,266
driver's license, to be honest. I mean, I
2805
01:46:15,266 --> 01:46:19,666
had one before I was 18. I was 17 when I
2806
01:46:19,666 --> 01:46:22,766
got my license. But I mean, just imagine
2807
01:46:22,766 --> 01:46:24,933
like a teenager asking to get
2808
01:46:24,933 --> 01:46:28,533
a light ID, like the C unreal.
2809
01:46:28,566 --> 01:46:33,166
I feel I see. I feel like at this point,
2810
01:46:33,166 --> 01:46:34,866
there's no need to double down on your
2811
01:46:34,866 --> 01:46:36,300
stances any further. I fully understand
2812
01:46:36,300 --> 01:46:38,300
Roblox thinks that their community
2813
01:46:38,300 --> 01:46:39,566
standards are being applied, but they
2814
01:46:39,566 --> 01:46:41,699
aren't. I love improvements moderation,
2815
01:46:41,699 --> 01:46:42,933
but you need to listen to your community.
2816
01:46:43,166 --> 01:46:46,166
What when they actually do work, the work
2817
01:46:46,166 --> 01:46:47,766
of finding and I said, W content instead
2818
01:46:47,766 --> 01:46:49,466
of trusting your own broken systems and
2819
01:46:49,466 --> 01:46:52,300
banning those vigilantes. So apparently
2820
01:46:52,300 --> 01:46:53,866
Roblox's own community standards
2821
01:46:53,866 --> 01:46:55,733
prohibits sexual content
2822
01:46:55,733 --> 01:46:57,533
of any kind period. Yeah.
2823
01:46:57,666 --> 01:47:00,600
Yeah. So the mature content should be
2824
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:03,366
like blood gore horror, which I mean,
2825
01:47:03,566 --> 01:47:06,766
isn't great for kids either. Right. But
2826
01:47:06,766 --> 01:47:10,133
like, I have heard stories about like
2827
01:47:10,133 --> 01:47:14,233
certain games on the platform, like, you
2828
01:47:14,233 --> 01:47:16,366
know, bathroom simulator or something.
2829
01:47:16,633 --> 01:47:18,033
And it's like, Epstein, Epstein Island.
2830
01:47:18,533 --> 01:47:21,266
Oh, I haven't heard of that. Is that on
2831
01:47:21,266 --> 01:47:23,733
there? There's something there's I've
2832
01:47:23,733 --> 01:47:25,566
definitely heard of an Epstein game on
2833
01:47:25,566 --> 01:47:27,933
Roblox. Oh, my God. Yeah, of course.
2834
01:47:28,433 --> 01:47:32,733
Dude. But yeah, I mean, I everything I've
2835
01:47:32,733 --> 01:47:35,466
heard about Roblox, like, is that it's
2836
01:47:35,466 --> 01:47:38,066
just it's, you know, there are certain
2837
01:47:38,066 --> 01:47:40,466
games that are not that are innocent. I
2838
01:47:40,466 --> 01:47:43,066
would, I should say. But like the
2839
01:47:43,066 --> 01:47:45,733
prevailing meme about
2840
01:47:45,733 --> 01:47:48,300
Roblox is that it's it's just.
2841
01:47:49,533 --> 01:47:51,399
Sexual content targeting kids. It's.
2842
01:47:51,399 --> 01:47:53,666
Yeah. Pull up. Pull up this court. I sent
2843
01:47:53,666 --> 01:47:57,133
you an image of what the game of like the
2844
01:47:57,133 --> 01:47:58,533
various types of games you can find.
2845
01:47:58,533 --> 01:48:01,866
Just escape to Epstein. I'll pull put it
2846
01:48:01,866 --> 01:48:04,466
on the screen. Yeah. Escape to Epstein
2847
01:48:04,466 --> 01:48:09,866
Island. Diddy Party. Oh, no, dude. Dude.
2848
01:48:10,166 --> 01:48:12,633
Okay. I don't think we've talked about
2849
01:48:12,633 --> 01:48:17,166
any of this stuff. Yeah. Look at that.
2850
01:48:17,166 --> 01:48:20,966
Nice try. Diddy. Diddy Party VC. Child
2851
01:48:20,966 --> 01:48:23,133
Labor Tycoon three freaky Diddy
2852
01:48:23,133 --> 01:48:27,033
something. Survive Diddy. No.
2853
01:48:28,533 --> 01:48:30,466
Look how many Diddy games there are. What
2854
01:48:30,466 --> 01:48:33,833
the fuck? I'm sure some of these are like
2855
01:48:33,833 --> 01:48:35,433
parodies like, oh, you're trying to run
2856
01:48:35,433 --> 01:48:37,166
away from Diddy. But like, that's not
2857
01:48:37,166 --> 01:48:38,933
appropriate for kids to play either.
2858
01:48:38,933 --> 01:48:41,000
Given that Diddy is a monster in real
2859
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,433
life. No. And monster that
2860
01:48:43,433 --> 01:48:46,766
also got away with it, too. Yeah.
2861
01:48:48,366 --> 01:48:49,966
I love this image, though, because it's
2862
01:48:49,966 --> 01:48:51,633
got these creepy things and then it has
2863
01:48:51,633 --> 01:48:55,899
Roblox gift cards. I think I think I took
2864
01:48:55,899 --> 01:48:56,533
this from a news article.
2865
01:48:57,533 --> 01:49:01,866
Yeah. It's just dude. I don't know. I
2866
01:49:01,866 --> 01:49:03,766
don't I don't like this platform. I think
2867
01:49:03,766 --> 01:49:06,933
it should go away. It's user generated.
2868
01:49:06,933 --> 01:49:09,366
It's a user generated hellscape. I will I
2869
01:49:09,366 --> 01:49:13,433
will tell you that. Speaking of which, I
2870
01:49:13,433 --> 01:49:15,133
think user I mean, this is gonna sound a
2871
01:49:15,133 --> 01:49:17,033
hot take, but I think most user generated
2872
01:49:17,033 --> 01:49:19,533
content kind of sucks in
2873
01:49:19,533 --> 01:49:20,533
these sorts of games. Yeah.
2874
01:49:21,533 --> 01:49:23,233
Like even like something a lot more
2875
01:49:23,233 --> 01:49:27,533
restrictive like Mario Mario Maker. Most
2876
01:49:27,533 --> 01:49:30,033
of the levels just kind of suck. Yeah.
2877
01:49:30,766 --> 01:49:32,666
And the ones and the ones that people
2878
01:49:32,666 --> 01:49:34,066
really want to play are the stupid
2879
01:49:34,066 --> 01:49:36,566
fucking Kaiser Mario levels. You know the
2880
01:49:36,566 --> 01:49:38,233
types, right? Oh, yeah. I am familiar.
2881
01:49:39,533 --> 01:49:41,466
No one wants like listen, most people
2882
01:49:41,466 --> 01:49:44,666
don't want to play fucking Washi. Is that
2883
01:49:44,666 --> 01:49:46,166
even true? Do most people not want to
2884
01:49:46,166 --> 01:49:47,733
play Kaiser Mario levels? Because they
2885
01:49:47,733 --> 01:49:48,933
seem like the most popular ones.
2886
01:49:50,333 --> 01:49:52,166
I know I'm not that target demographic,
2887
01:49:52,166 --> 01:49:54,833
but there are people who do want to play.
2888
01:49:55,366 --> 01:49:57,800
Yeah, I'm not that target either. Also,
2889
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,866
another game just recently got announced.
2890
01:50:00,233 --> 01:50:02,433
Not a game, but an existing game
2891
01:50:02,433 --> 01:50:05,333
announced that they're allowing user
2892
01:50:05,333 --> 01:50:06,533
generated content as well.
2893
01:50:07,533 --> 01:50:10,633
Genshin Impact. Oh, really? It's becoming
2894
01:50:10,633 --> 01:50:15,266
a user generated hellscape. Okay. Yeah.
2895
01:50:15,766 --> 01:50:17,300
There's a trailer. There's a trailer out
2896
01:50:17,300 --> 01:50:18,966
for it too. You want to watch it? Yeah.
2897
01:50:19,666 --> 01:50:20,433
Hold on. Let me let me
2898
01:50:20,433 --> 01:50:21,933
find out what it's called.
2899
01:50:24,233 --> 01:50:29,266
Let me link it to you actually there.
2900
01:50:31,466 --> 01:50:32,166
There we go.
2901
01:50:34,166 --> 01:50:34,899
It's on discord.
2902
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:39,033
I find it interesting that games are
2903
01:50:39,033 --> 01:50:41,500
pivoting towards being user generated
2904
01:50:41,500 --> 01:50:45,199
content. Yeah, even like a gacha game
2905
01:50:45,199 --> 01:50:46,533
like this. That's like insanely
2906
01:50:46,533 --> 01:50:48,866
profitable. Yeah. Well, why wouldn't
2907
01:50:48,866 --> 01:50:50,066
they? I mean, they could monetize it
2908
01:50:50,066 --> 01:50:51,466
again or it, you
2909
01:50:51,466 --> 01:50:54,000
know, it gets overcooked.
2910
01:50:54,766 --> 01:50:57,366
I was about to say it. I looked like
2911
01:50:57,366 --> 01:50:59,533
familiar and tower defense, you know.
2912
01:51:00,533 --> 01:51:05,600
So here's the question. Are the Chinese
2913
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:07,000
going to be a little more strict about
2914
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:10,333
adult content on this user generated
2915
01:51:10,333 --> 01:51:14,366
Genshin space? I would be surprised if
2916
01:51:14,366 --> 01:51:17,533
they allow UGC on like the Chinese servers. Will they? I don't know. But I mean, it makes sense. It makes sense for
2917
01:51:17,566 --> 01:51:32,066
them to allow it in the US because, you
2918
01:51:32,066 --> 01:51:33,000
know, they can make the game more
2919
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,533
addictive that way. Yeah. More time sink. The other question though is will they allow will they allow mature quote unquote mature content? Probably not, right? I mean, I would say that's a good question.
2920
01:51:45,066 --> 01:51:52,366
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they do
2921
01:51:52,366 --> 01:51:55,533
in the US. God damn it. Yeah. I don't know what to make of this besides it exists.
2922
01:51:56,866 --> 01:52:12,300
Yep. I'm not a fan. I'll say that. I
2923
01:52:12,300 --> 01:52:13,800
might try it out just for shits and
2924
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,899
giggles because a lot of my audience is
2925
01:52:16,899 --> 01:52:18,666
interested in Genshin impact on the steam
2926
01:52:18,666 --> 01:52:22,333
deck. Yeah. It's still some of my most
2927
01:52:22,333 --> 01:52:24,466
popular content for steam deck stuff. So
2928
01:52:24,466 --> 01:52:25,533
I guess I'll have to give it a try.
2929
01:52:26,533 --> 01:52:32,166
But in the meantime, though, don't don't
2930
01:52:32,166 --> 01:52:35,333
let your kids play roblox. No, and don't
2931
01:52:35,333 --> 01:52:39,466
play roblox yourself. If so, here's the
2932
01:52:39,466 --> 01:52:41,766
deal. If you're the target audience for
2933
01:52:41,766 --> 01:52:44,666
roblox, you should not play it. And if
2934
01:52:44,666 --> 01:52:47,633
you and if you're not the target audience
2935
01:52:47,633 --> 01:52:49,300
for roblox, you should not play it
2936
01:52:49,300 --> 01:52:49,533
because you're a creep.
2937
01:52:49,833 --> 01:52:53,933
Because you're a creep. It's just don't
2938
01:52:53,933 --> 01:52:55,733
let your kids drag. Don't let your kids
2939
01:52:55,733 --> 01:52:57,666
or like nieces nephews of dragging and
2940
01:52:57,666 --> 01:53:00,666
playing roblox because it's also not that
2941
01:53:00,666 --> 01:53:02,833
fun to be honest. No. Well, dude, here's
2942
01:53:02,833 --> 01:53:04,666
the thing. I said this in my news video.
2943
01:53:05,433 --> 01:53:06,633
Like, it's one thing if you're playing it
2944
01:53:06,633 --> 01:53:08,066
with your own kids or your family, right?
2945
01:53:08,266 --> 01:53:11,066
That's whatever. But like, in it. So in
2946
01:53:11,066 --> 01:53:14,766
my most recent news video, I had to
2947
01:53:14,766 --> 01:53:16,433
address the fact that I'm on the record
2948
01:53:16,433 --> 01:53:18,500
saying that I just don't
2949
01:53:18,500 --> 01:53:19,533
like online multi-party.
2950
01:53:19,566 --> 01:53:21,666
Player games. And the reason I don't like
2951
01:53:21,666 --> 01:53:23,866
online online multiplayer games is
2952
01:53:23,866 --> 01:53:27,233
because, you know, most of them, if
2953
01:53:27,233 --> 01:53:30,166
they're like, mostly online multiplayer,
2954
01:53:30,166 --> 01:53:32,233
like Fortnite, they're just not fun,
2955
01:53:32,233 --> 01:53:33,466
right? Like, the only reason you're
2956
01:53:33,466 --> 01:53:35,333
having fun is because you're playing with
2957
01:53:35,333 --> 01:53:37,266
your friends, you know, like, at least
2958
01:53:37,266 --> 01:53:40,366
for me, that's how it seems. And so it's
2959
01:53:40,366 --> 01:53:41,566
like, you know, with
2960
01:53:41,566 --> 01:53:43,333
with Domekeeper adding.
2961
01:53:44,533 --> 01:53:46,899
Multiplayer, right? Like online
2962
01:53:46,899 --> 01:53:49,233
multiplayer and split screen. The reason
2963
01:53:49,233 --> 01:53:51,399
that I'm excited about that is because
2964
01:53:51,399 --> 01:53:53,966
the game's already extremely fun on its
2965
01:53:53,966 --> 01:53:56,666
own, right? And then you add on playing
2966
01:53:56,666 --> 01:53:59,033
with your friends. And that brings it to
2967
01:53:59,033 --> 01:54:00,199
a whole other level. And it feels like a
2968
01:54:00,199 --> 01:54:02,066
natural extension of the gameplay. But
2969
01:54:02,066 --> 01:54:03,800
like, when a game requires you to be
2970
01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:06,566
playing against other people, it just
2971
01:54:06,566 --> 01:54:08,966
that just takes all the
2972
01:54:08,966 --> 01:54:10,533
fun out of it for me. So.
2973
01:54:10,566 --> 01:54:11,666
So you're not gonna be
2974
01:54:11,666 --> 01:54:13,100
playing the Domekeeper PVP?
2975
01:54:14,733 --> 01:54:16,533
Oh, I'll put out. I don't. Does it have
2976
01:54:16,533 --> 01:54:17,866
PVP? I thought it was PVE.
2977
01:54:18,433 --> 01:54:19,666
Let me see. I think I think
2978
01:54:19,666 --> 01:54:21,066
it was both. But let me check.
2979
01:54:21,066 --> 01:54:22,433
I think it could be both. But I will be
2980
01:54:22,433 --> 01:54:24,733
I'll play it no matter which way. Like,
2981
01:54:24,733 --> 01:54:26,800
because I'll be playing it with like you
2982
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:30,000
and James, probably. But like the game's
2983
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:31,433
already fun by itself. Right? Like,
2984
01:54:31,433 --> 01:54:32,933
that's the whole point is like the game
2985
01:54:32,933 --> 01:54:36,366
is fun. And then I can add on to my I can
2986
01:54:36,366 --> 01:54:37,833
extend my fun by playing with other
2987
01:54:37,833 --> 01:54:39,300
people. And like, it was
2988
01:54:39,300 --> 01:54:39,533
like that with Minecraft, too.
2989
01:54:39,566 --> 01:54:42,033
It was like, I started playing Minecraft.
2990
01:54:42,566 --> 01:54:43,633
And this was before they had really
2991
01:54:43,633 --> 01:54:46,366
figured out networking in Minecraft. And
2992
01:54:46,366 --> 01:54:47,666
I was like, you know, what would be
2993
01:54:47,666 --> 01:54:49,000
really fun is to be able to do this with
2994
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:51,466
my friends. And then when they added it,
2995
01:54:51,466 --> 01:54:52,933
I was like, Oh, here we go. This
2996
01:54:52,933 --> 01:54:54,533
actually, you know, is really fun.
2997
01:54:55,533 --> 01:54:59,566
But other than Minecraft and and like,
2998
01:55:00,266 --> 01:55:02,833
and Spelunky and games that have, you
2999
01:55:02,833 --> 01:55:05,433
know, that are innately single player.
3000
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,733
Yeah, once you add your friends in and
3001
01:55:08,733 --> 01:55:10,100
you've already been having fun as a
3002
01:55:10,100 --> 01:55:11,366
single player experience. That's when
3003
01:55:11,366 --> 01:55:13,533
playing online games makes sense to me.
3004
01:55:14,533 --> 01:55:18,300
I don't keep it does have it's not like
3005
01:55:18,300 --> 01:55:20,033
direct PvP, where you fight each other,
3006
01:55:20,033 --> 01:55:22,033
of course. But also you're competing for
3007
01:55:22,033 --> 01:55:24,366
the same resources and just end up
3008
01:55:24,366 --> 01:55:25,866
playing tug of war with the resources,
3009
01:55:25,866 --> 01:55:27,766
like literally to it. It looks awesome.
3010
01:55:28,699 --> 01:55:30,500
Yeah, that's very it's super exciting for
3011
01:55:30,500 --> 01:55:34,366
me. So yeah, play Domekeeper. Don't play
3012
01:55:34,366 --> 01:55:37,266
Roblox. Yeah, that's kind of a shitty
3013
01:55:37,266 --> 01:55:41,433
moral of the story. But yeah, but I mean,
3014
01:55:41,433 --> 01:55:43,533
you know, with that, I, we're, I think, we're, I think, we're going to be doing a lot of stuff.
3015
01:55:43,533 --> 01:55:46,066
We're actually just at about two hours
3016
01:55:46,066 --> 01:55:50,300
here. So that's been a heck of an
3017
01:55:50,300 --> 01:55:52,566
episode. Kind of gone all over the place
3018
01:55:52,566 --> 01:55:54,433
with the news stories this week.
3019
01:55:56,266 --> 01:55:58,633
Yeah, but I mean, it's kind of a slow
3020
01:55:58,633 --> 01:56:01,233
week. It's the it's the calm before the
3021
01:56:01,233 --> 01:56:03,199
storm. That's a song.
3022
01:56:03,533 --> 01:56:06,500
Yep. And things are start are gonna start
3023
01:56:06,500 --> 01:56:09,699
picking up pretty soon here with like
3024
01:56:09,699 --> 01:56:11,399
Christmas and you know,
3025
01:56:11,399 --> 01:56:12,933
the holiday season for sure.
3026
01:56:12,933 --> 01:56:14,833
Oh, yes, absolutely. We're gonna be
3027
01:56:14,833 --> 01:56:18,100
hearing a lot. I think quarter three is
3028
01:56:18,100 --> 01:56:19,300
about to end right like it
3029
01:56:19,300 --> 01:56:20,466
ends in September, right?
3030
01:56:21,533 --> 01:56:22,433
Yeah, I believe so.
3031
01:56:22,433 --> 01:56:24,233
So we'll be hearing a lot of earnings
3032
01:56:24,233 --> 01:56:26,666
calls and like investor like information,
3033
01:56:26,666 --> 01:56:27,533
all that cool stuff.
3034
01:56:28,533 --> 01:56:31,066
Yeah, so I mean, I'm not sure what to
3035
01:56:31,066 --> 01:56:33,533
make of it besides stay safe, everyone.
3036
01:56:33,766 --> 01:56:35,899
Yeah, don't go on Roblox.
3037
01:56:37,166 --> 01:56:39,166
Yeah. And you know what? Enjoy the
3038
01:56:39,166 --> 01:56:41,066
weather while it still lasts because the
3039
01:56:41,066 --> 01:56:42,466
leaves are already falling here.
3040
01:56:43,500 --> 01:56:46,066
Oh, are they? Oh, yeah. Oh, that sounds
3041
01:56:46,066 --> 01:56:48,066
pretty cool. Yeah, enjoy. Yeah. Enjoy the
3042
01:56:48,066 --> 01:56:49,533
weather while it lasts too. Yeah.
3043
01:56:49,566 --> 01:56:53,166
Do anything but Roblox. Heck, you can
3044
01:56:53,166 --> 01:56:55,066
even play the like, user generated
3045
01:56:55,066 --> 01:56:57,433
Genshin Hellscape if you wanted to.
3046
01:56:57,733 --> 01:57:00,566
Yeah. Also has the same problem. I won't
3047
01:57:00,566 --> 01:57:01,300
judge you for playing
3048
01:57:01,300 --> 01:57:03,933
Genshin art. You see?
3049
01:57:04,933 --> 01:57:10,266
Genshin, you see? Cool. Anyways, yeah.

Well, hey, thank you. Hi, tech for being

James back next week, I think.
3053
01:57:17,533 --> 01:57:20,666
And another special someone to assuming
3054
01:57:20,666 --> 01:57:23,666
things go for no spoilers. No spoilers.
3055
01:57:24,033 --> 01:57:25,366
But yeah, I'm excited about next week.
