1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,283
everybody.

2
00:00:00,283 --> 00:00:03,923
Welcome to another episode
of Off The Console.

3
00:00:03,943 --> 00:00:08,003
It's your favorite, uh, show
that's all about news and

4
00:00:08,013 --> 00:00:09,413
gaming and everything nerdy.

5
00:00:09,713 --> 00:00:14,323
My name is Garner, and I'm joined
here today by my friends James from

6
00:00:14,403 --> 00:00:16,703
Games Revealed and High Tech Low Life.

7
00:00:16,923 --> 00:00:17,903
How are you guys doing today?

8
00:00:19,161 --> 00:00:19,991
I'm quite all right.

9
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:20,681
How about you?

10
00:00:20,802 --> 00:00:21,102
good

11
00:00:21,335 --> 00:00:22,075
I'm doing great.

12
00:00:22,415 --> 00:00:23,055
Doing great.

13
00:00:23,065 --> 00:00:23,615
Doing great.

14
00:00:24,205 --> 00:00:27,735
Um, we have a bunch of awesome stuff
that we're gonna be talking about today.

15
00:00:27,735 --> 00:00:29,145
We have some news from Gamescom.

16
00:00:30,245 --> 00:00:30,965
Where are my notes?

17
00:00:30,965 --> 00:00:36,605
We have, uh, we have, uh, NVIDIA's
controversial DLSS 5, uh, stuff.

18
00:00:36,605 --> 00:00:40,955
We have Xbox also joining the,
uh, you'll own nothing and be

19
00:00:40,955 --> 00:00:43,455
happy camp, and a whole lot more.

20
00:00:43,695 --> 00:00:46,585
So, uh, yeah, I think, uh, don't know.

21
00:00:46,715 --> 00:00:49,765
We  like to start the show off with,
uh, what we've been doing this week.

22
00:00:50,005 --> 00:00:51,435
So, uh, Hi Tech, let's start with you.

23
00:00:51,435 --> 00:00:52,575
What have you been up to this week?

24
00:00:53,855 --> 00:00:58,395
Work, Steam Machine stuff, not a
whole lot of video editing, but… Oh

25
00:00:58,395 --> 00:01:03,425
yeah, I have, I have put some videos
on Bilibili, 'cause I'm a filthy,

26
00:01:04,415 --> 00:01:06,395
I'm a filthy China stan it seems.

27
00:01:07,055 --> 00:01:10,315
So w- I think, we, I don't, I don't
think we ta- I don't, I think you were,

28
00:01:10,315 --> 00:01:12,295
uh, I think you were gone that week.

29
00:01:12,295 --> 00:01:12,695
Were you?

30
00:01:13,245 --> 00:01:13,605
When…

31
00:01:13,833 --> 00:01:14,433
week, yeah.

32
00:01:14,515 --> 00:01:17,105
Yeah, we talked about
Bilibili going international

33
00:01:17,553 --> 00:01:17,953
Yeah.

34
00:01:18,943 --> 00:01:20,183
How's your experience been?

35
00:01:20,183 --> 00:01:21,223
Or are you saving that?

36
00:01:21,983 --> 00:01:26,233
Uh, I think we'll save that for
another day since I'm still new.

37
00:01:26,233 --> 00:01:29,913
I'm just uploading my, some, some of my
back catalog there for the time being

38
00:01:30,263 --> 00:01:30,903
James, how about you?

39
00:01:30,913 --> 00:01:31,643
What have you been up to?

40
00:01:32,643 --> 00:01:33,843
This week has been a crazy week.

41
00:01:34,183 --> 00:01:40,323
Uh, we had a big hack at work, so patching
a bunch of holes there, uh, related

42
00:01:40,323 --> 00:01:42,463
to what I'm really, uh, what I have.

43
00:01:42,463 --> 00:01:45,873
It's from an old system that they
had that they didn't sunset, so I'm

44
00:01:46,293 --> 00:01:47,273
not gonna go too deep into that.

45
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:56,583
But that's, uh, oh, pretty much
work and, uh, I don't even know

46
00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:58,323
if I played any games this week.

47
00:01:58,353 --> 00:02:05,503
I'm sure I played something, but, um,
no, I j- I just can't … I, I worked

48
00:02:05,503 --> 00:02:08,983
on, uh, a game I'm working on, which
doesn't help that we went over the

49
00:02:08,983 --> 00:02:15,463
cost, like how much game developers on
average make and median, uh, price on

50
00:02:15,463 --> 00:02:20,103
their, uh, what they make in the bonus
episode, so people can go watch that.

51
00:02:20,113 --> 00:02:22,533
That was fascinating and a little sad.

52
00:02:22,543 --> 00:02:28,923
And we kinda knew that people that release
games a lot oftentimes, but I'm working

53
00:02:28,923 --> 00:02:31,323
on, I, I, I work on like a game or two.

54
00:02:31,433 --> 00:02:34,323
Every o- like, and I, I'm not
like full-time on it, and that's

55
00:02:34,333 --> 00:02:38,253
one of the reasons is because of
this type of stuff where they just

56
00:02:38,253 --> 00:02:40,103
don't … Like, it, it's discouraging.

57
00:02:40,103 --> 00:02:41,693
So I do it for more of the
passion side of things.

58
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:44,413
So I, I did work on some game
development stuff for one of

59
00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:46,353
my games, and it was, it's fun.

60
00:02:46,413 --> 00:02:51,693
It's a really fun, practice that
helps when you have stress at work

61
00:02:53,562 --> 00:02:54,042
Mm-hmm.

62
00:02:55,722 --> 00:02:56,372
absolutely.

63
00:02:56,872 --> 00:02:59,472
The, the, you know, you've been
doing your game development.

64
00:02:59,492 --> 00:03:05,852
I've been working on a game too for The
Bryant Review, um, because the ROI of

65
00:03:05,872 --> 00:03:10,662
putting a year of development into a
game on Steam just wasn't there for me.

66
00:03:10,702 --> 00:03:13,282
Those, those numbers we talked about
in the bonus episode were really

67
00:03:13,292 --> 00:03:15,382
spooky accurate for, for my game, so,

68
00:03:15,843 --> 00:03:16,283
Yeah

69
00:03:16,555 --> 00:03:20,092
I'm working on, on this little game
here, and I am really excited about it.

70
00:03:20,102 --> 00:03:20,992
This isn't live yet.

71
00:03:21,002 --> 00:03:22,952
This is just my testing area.

72
00:03:22,982 --> 00:03:26,282
But, like, oh boy, it's basically hangman.

73
00:03:26,442 --> 00:03:30,682
Um, but it's a lot of fun, and I'm,
I'm working on, like, some power-ups

74
00:03:30,682 --> 00:03:35,092
that you can get on a puzzle to, like,
unlock the vowels that are available.

75
00:03:36,352 --> 00:03:37,652
it's, it's pretty neat.

76
00:03:37,682 --> 00:03:41,332
I have some other ideas on, on how I
wanna, like, spice up the gameplay.

77
00:03:41,332 --> 00:03:42,432
But Yeah

78
00:03:42,792 --> 00:03:48,542
uh, I've put a lot of time into the game
and also into the puzzle editor that I've

79
00:03:48,542 --> 00:03:51,262
developed to let me, like, make puzzles.

80
00:03:51,582 --> 00:03:54,632
Um, it's, it's very exciting.

81
00:03:56,312 --> 00:04:00,752
but I… And because of that, I haven't
been posting a ton to, uh, to the Review,

82
00:04:00,782 --> 00:04:05,152
but we're, uh, we'll get back to that
next week 'cause it is almost done, I

83
00:04:05,152 --> 00:04:08,102
think, so… Or, or at least the beta is.

84
00:04:08,162 --> 00:04:15,592
So yeah, With that said, if you guys
enjoy the work that we're doing here,

85
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:18,752
you can follow us on, uh, on YouTube.

94
00:04:40,732 --> 00:04:44,122
bonus show where we talk about stuff
that's way too spicy for YouTube.

95
00:04:44,122 --> 00:04:44,132
Uh,

96
00:04:44,641 --> 00:04:48,621
honestly, if you go to offconsole.com
you'll, you'll find everything there.

97
00:04:49,405 --> 00:04:50,835
right, offtheconsole.com.

98
00:04:51,035 --> 00:04:52,899
Yeah Yep, off the console.

99
00:04:52,899 --> 00:04:52,989
And

100
00:04:52,989 --> 00:04:56,819
we also have a Discord server
too, so yeah, pretty neat stuff.

101
00:04:57,609 --> 00:05:00,129
Um, let's, let's get into
the first topic today.

102
00:05:00,129 --> 00:05:02,559
We have, uh, we have Gamescom here.

103
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,709
Um, what, what's going on with Gamescom?

104
00:05:06,223 --> 00:05:07,613
Oh shit, have I been
muted this whole time?

105
00:05:07,613 --> 00:05:10,283
I've been telling you to tell
James to solve the puzzle

106
00:05:11,739 --> 00:05:11,879
Oh.

107
00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:12,489
Oh, yeah, yeah.

108
00:05:12,489 --> 00:05:12,959
Sorry.

109
00:05:13,089 --> 00:05:13,519
Do you want

110
00:05:13,641 --> 00:05:13,961
but that,

111
00:05:14,149 --> 00:05:14,619
the puzzle?

112
00:05:16,301 --> 00:05:20,031
uh, maybe, maybe we'll do that
afterwards, but let's talk about Gamescom.

113
00:05:20,041 --> 00:05:26,551
So Gamescom, for those that don't know,
is the, uh, expo that happens in Europe.

114
00:05:26,631 --> 00:05:29,461
It's, uh, I think it's held in
Germany, if I'm not mistaken.

115
00:05:29,471 --> 00:05:33,141
But essentially it's like
E3 or Tokyo Game Show.

116
00:05:33,581 --> 00:05:35,301
It's the European version of those two.

117
00:05:35,861 --> 00:05:39,111
And there were a bunch of
announcements and also trailers too.

118
00:05:39,121 --> 00:05:44,641
Like for example, they're remastering
The Witcher 3 again, and this time

119
00:05:44,841 --> 00:05:48,011
it's free for anyone that already
owns it on PC, which is nice.

120
00:05:49,881 --> 00:05:50,731
Also includes Steam too.

121
00:05:51,441 --> 00:05:55,171
Uh, they also announced, uh, they
also showed off a new trailer

122
00:05:55,171 --> 00:05:57,461
for Mega Man D- Dual Override.

123
00:05:57,821 --> 00:05:59,071
I'm picking that game up day one.

124
00:05:59,111 --> 00:06:02,931
I know you guys don't, I know you
guys don't like Mega Man, but I do

125
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:06,549
I have no animosity towards Mega Man.

126
00:06:06,549 --> 00:06:09,039
I've just never played a Mega Man game.

127
00:06:09,289 --> 00:06:10,779
Not really my speed, I don't think

128
00:06:11,045 --> 00:06:13,435
All right, let's take
a vote right now, guys.

129
00:06:13,785 --> 00:06:16,135
Should we get Gardner to try out Mega Man?

130
00:06:18,132 --> 00:06:18,672
Yes

131
00:06:18,801 --> 00:06:19,661
in the comments.

132
00:06:20,561 --> 00:06:23,291
I'll hook you up with some good, I'll hook
you up with some good recommendations.

133
00:06:23,291 --> 00:06:24,691
Trust, trust me

134
00:06:25,691 --> 00:06:26,011
Yeah.

135
00:06:26,401 --> 00:06:30,601
I mean, th- I like 2D, 2D
platformers, but, uh, know, it

136
00:06:30,601 --> 00:06:33,971
seems like the tough-as-nails
ones are not really my speed, but

137
00:06:34,305 --> 00:06:36,685
I think you'd like Mega
Man X on the Super Nintendo

138
00:06:37,467 --> 00:06:37,727
Yeah.

139
00:06:38,607 --> 00:06:39,777
I have a Super Nintendo, so maybe

140
00:06:39,865 --> 00:06:40,375
Yeah.

141
00:06:40,705 --> 00:06:44,705
Yeah, and then they announced, uh,
hon- honestly, I'm not sure that

142
00:06:44,725 --> 00:06:49,545
they really announced a whole lot
new aside from just updates and shit.

143
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:51,275
Oh, there's the Indie Arena Booth.

144
00:06:52,735 --> 00:06:54,235
There's just trailers.

145
00:06:55,705 --> 00:06:57,475
What, what's, what effect
are you talking about?

146
00:06:57,947 --> 00:07:03,907
So when you mouse over the, the, uh,
the key art, it's like, it like almost

147
00:07:03,907 --> 00:07:05,557
has like a holographic look to it

148
00:07:06,177 --> 00:07:06,417
like it

149
00:07:06,427 --> 00:07:07,747
wob- like it wobbles a little bit?

150
00:07:07,817 --> 00:07:08,667
Yeah, that is pretty cool

151
00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:09,970
floating effect.

152
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:12,520
we, did you mention the Witcher 3 thing?

153
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,390
Sorry, I was doing your puzzle, and so

154
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:16,373
Oh, you, oh, he did it.

155
00:07:16,783 --> 00:07:18,803
Did you, did you successfully do it?

156
00:07:19,296 --> 00:07:22,746
I was doing really well and then I
don't know if I've heard of Donkey K-

157
00:07:22,796 --> 00:07:25,086
or of Conquest or whatever it's called.

158
00:07:25,936 --> 00:07:26,336
So

159
00:07:26,499 --> 00:07:26,819
Oh,

160
00:07:26,886 --> 00:07:27,036
the,

161
00:07:27,099 --> 00:07:27,339
Donkey

162
00:07:27,349 --> 00:07:27,629
was the

163
00:07:27,659 --> 00:07:27,959
Kong Quest

164
00:07:28,696 --> 00:07:31,136
Quest got me off 'cause
I just didn't know that.

165
00:07:31,146 --> 00:07:32,506
But like I was doing well.

166
00:07:32,506 --> 00:07:34,816
I did 100% up until I got to Quest.

167
00:07:34,816 --> 00:07:35,956
I'm like, "I don't know what this is."

168
00:07:37,119 --> 00:07:37,789
Then

169
00:07:37,807 --> 00:07:39,997
the name of the second
Donkey Kong Country.

170
00:07:40,087 --> 00:07:41,497
Diddy's, Diddy's Conquest

171
00:07:41,796 --> 00:07:48,026
Yeah, so I don't think I ever as a
kid thought about the second part.

172
00:07:48,056 --> 00:07:50,186
I I played it

173
00:07:51,637 --> 00:07:51,957
Yeah.

174
00:07:52,985 --> 00:07:56,705
So, I mean, there's a lot of games that
seem, were seemingly announced here.

175
00:07:56,705 --> 00:07:59,345
Some, a lot of indies are
more towards the bottom.

176
00:07:59,987 --> 00:08:00,277
Mm-hmm.

177
00:08:00,485 --> 00:08:04,285
And Geoff Keighley hosted a live
stream as well, uh, even though this

178
00:08:04,285 --> 00:08:07,699
isn't one of his shows technically
speaking But the general consensus

179
00:08:07,699 --> 00:08:10,959
seems to be that it's Gamescom.

180
00:08:11,209 --> 00:08:12,699
I mean, it is what it is

181
00:08:14,406 --> 00:08:17,366
I'm excited about
Thomas & Friends: Wonders of

182
00:08:19,235 --> 00:08:19,605
What?

183
00:08:20,296 --> 00:08:20,426
Sodor.

184
00:08:20,666 --> 00:08:22,526
Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor?

185
00:08:23,576 --> 00:08:23,776
You

186
00:08:23,887 --> 00:08:24,227
Dude

187
00:08:24,721 --> 00:08:29,461
Thomas & Friends is like the original
uncanny valley shit that goes on.

188
00:08:29,481 --> 00:08:31,561
I, I can't do it.

189
00:08:32,251 --> 00:08:34,471
My kid got into it forever
and it was so creepy.

190
00:08:34,741 --> 00:08:39,721
So I will say out of the
Gamescom, I haven't watched all

191
00:08:39,721 --> 00:08:40,591
the trailers for everything.

192
00:08:40,591 --> 00:08:43,111
I just watched little snippets
'cause I was so busy this week with

193
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:47,115
Yeah, I'm, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't
really d- I didn't really do that either

194
00:08:47,611 --> 00:08:53,111
3 though, and, uh, Control:
Resonant, mm, I'm gonna say it

195
00:08:53,111 --> 00:08:54,381
right now, those both looked…

196
00:08:54,471 --> 00:08:57,711
Like the remaster looks
awesome for Witcher 3.

197
00:08:57,711 --> 00:09:00,561
It's coming free, it's
looking pretty good.

198
00:09:00,561 --> 00:09:04,811
But Control: Resonant is looking so
good, and it comes out in a couple weeks

199
00:09:04,909 --> 00:09:05,689
Hmm.

200
00:09:05,909 --> 00:09:06,789
I wanna get both.

201
00:09:08,119 --> 00:09:11,019
Well, I wanna get Resi- I
wanna get Control, Resi.

202
00:09:11,019 --> 00:09:13,579
You know, I'm not super big
on Witcher 3's gameplay.

203
00:09:13,579 --> 00:09:14,899
This is gonna sound like a hot take.

204
00:09:15,659 --> 00:09:17,419
It just feels like a worse Dark Soul

205
00:09:18,713 --> 00:09:21,823
The worst Dark Souls is a
harsh take, uh, but okay.

206
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:23,009
Dude, it's, it's true.

207
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:24,399
It, it feels worse.

208
00:09:24,449 --> 00:09:28,269
Like, I'm sorry, I know the, I know
the story and stuff is really what, why

209
00:09:28,269 --> 00:09:31,999
people play, but like, if the gameplay
is ass, then why should I even bother?

210
00:09:32,631 --> 00:09:33,881
But it's not as…

211
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:35,566
with you more, High Tech.

212
00:09:35,626 --> 00:09:35,796
I

213
00:09:35,851 --> 00:09:35,941
Oh,

214
00:09:35,946 --> 00:09:41,606
those kind of games, Witcher and, um, Dark
Souls and all that stuff, where the, where

215
00:09:41,606 --> 00:09:46,326
the, like, third person, like, control i-
and it feels like you're walking through

216
00:09:46,336 --> 00:09:48,806
mud most of the time, like, just slow,

217
00:09:48,823 --> 00:09:49,743
whoa, hold on now

218
00:09:50,216 --> 00:09:51,186
Dude, I can't.

219
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:52,096
I can't play those

220
00:09:52,096 --> 00:09:52,436
games.

221
00:09:52,476 --> 00:09:53,356
I'm, like, so

222
00:09:53,539 --> 00:09:55,609
had me until you said Dark Souls.

223
00:09:55,749 --> 00:09:57,929
Man, I like, I love Dark Souls

224
00:09:58,307 --> 00:09:58,997
I agree with you.

225
00:09:58,997 --> 00:10:01,297
Dark Souls controls like shit.

226
00:10:02,177 --> 00:10:02,337
I'm just kidding

227
00:10:02,412 --> 00:10:04,742
so… They all control like ass.

228
00:10:04,782 --> 00:10:09,032
Like, move- It literally feels like
the character is wading through mud.

229
00:10:09,212 --> 00:10:09,392
I'm

230
00:10:09,549 --> 00:10:10,009
They

231
00:10:10,282 --> 00:10:13,802
me Mario 64 or give me
death, man." Like, I

232
00:10:13,969 --> 00:10:15,669
Well, you can't do that.

233
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,089
So

234
00:10:16,143 --> 00:10:16,713
Wow

235
00:10:17,329 --> 00:10:21,849
you can't do that with W- so Witcher
and Dark Souls, they have that weighted

236
00:10:21,849 --> 00:10:27,209
system for a reason to make it feel
unique and a little bit more r- lifelike.

237
00:10:27,469 --> 00:10:31,319
You can't be bouncing arou- around
like a Italian plumber all day long,

238
00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:35,029
but… Now, they're gonna improve
the gameplay on Witcher 3 though.

239
00:10:35,049 --> 00:10:37,119
Like, that's what, one of the things
they're saying, which I hope so, 'cause

240
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:40,839
don't get me wrong, you get used to
it after the first 10, 20 hours, but

241
00:10:41,529 --> 00:10:42,919
it could be definitely much better

242
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,529
I think in terms of s-

243
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:45,160
hours.

244
00:10:45,899 --> 00:10:49,599
in terms of CDPR's g- uh, games,
I do think Cyberpunk has much

245
00:10:49,609 --> 00:10:52,209
better gameplay than The Witcher 3

246
00:10:52,509 --> 00:10:52,989
shooter.

247
00:10:53,049 --> 00:10:54,939
It's really hard to get that wrong.

248
00:10:55,219 --> 00:10:58,059
I, uh, you can, don't get me wrong,
get that wrong, but it's, it's not

249
00:10:58,059 --> 00:11:00,339
gonna run into the same issues as

250
00:11:00,398 --> 00:11:00,738
mean,

251
00:11:00,979 --> 00:11:01,309
will

252
00:11:01,318 --> 00:11:03,168
have 15 years to get it right?

253
00:11:03,929 --> 00:11:06,109
Did they make FPSs great again?

254
00:11:06,658 --> 00:11:07,048
No.

255
00:11:08,048 --> 00:11:10,688
That, that, oh no, that's gonna
be one of our catchphrases.

256
00:11:10,699 --> 00:11:11,219
been bad.

257
00:11:11,229 --> 00:11:13,539
That's the stupid part, is
that they've never been bad

258
00:11:14,968 --> 00:11:19,728
Not according to, uh, Mr.
Splitgate himself, but

259
00:11:20,203 --> 00:11:20,783
yeah

260
00:11:21,038 --> 00:11:21,928
he's wrong though.

261
00:11:21,978 --> 00:11:22,828
Yeah, I agree.

262
00:11:23,118 --> 00:11:25,688
Uh, they're still, like, some
of the top-selling genres,

263
00:11:25,748 --> 00:11:27,078
and we talked about that too.

264
00:11:27,558 --> 00:11:31,018
Ooh, Dragon's Dogma II: Dark
Arisen, the DLC's coming out.

265
00:11:31,028 --> 00:11:32,198
I like that game too

266
00:11:34,095 --> 00:11:34,275
Did

267
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:34,890
This…

268
00:11:36,055 --> 00:11:36,275
did

269
00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:36,700
Huh?

270
00:11:36,975 --> 00:11:37,945
Control, HiTech?

271
00:11:38,945 --> 00:11:40,655
Did you play Control and beat it?

272
00:11:41,775 --> 00:11:45,495
Talking about Control Residence
now, like, if you beat the original

273
00:11:46,495 --> 00:11:49,975
I don't know if I have, but I
didn't play it on PC though.

274
00:11:50,625 --> 00:11:51,275
You didn't?

275
00:11:51,965 --> 00:11:53,665
No, 'cause I didn't have a gaming PC

276
00:11:53,725 --> 00:11:53,995
Yeah, yeah,

277
00:11:54,305 --> 00:11:55,175
at around that time

278
00:11:55,625 --> 00:11:56,265
that's fine.

279
00:11:56,265 --> 00:12:00,325
Control Resonance is gonna…
it's, they're so story heavy

280
00:12:01,075 --> 00:12:03,445
it, it l- it's gonna be a
different type of style, I think.

281
00:12:03,485 --> 00:12:05,035
Uh, it's gonna be more of, um,

282
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:07,791
Like a hack and, like some,
like a hack and slash.

283
00:12:07,791 --> 00:12:08,191
I saw

284
00:12:08,465 --> 00:12:11,805
yeah, uh, more so than what
the original Control was.

285
00:12:12,245 --> 00:12:16,335
But the story's probably gonna
be important to, to at least get

286
00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:18,005
through a good chunk of Control One

287
00:12:18,911 --> 00:12:24,261
Well, the good news is I do have the
Ultimate Edition on PC, so I can… I'm

288
00:12:24,261 --> 00:12:25,561
g- probably gonna have to start over.

289
00:12:26,321 --> 00:12:26,971
I'll do it.

290
00:12:27,731 --> 00:12:28,891
I'll do it on my Steam Machine

291
00:12:29,053 --> 00:12:33,023
l- I love Control, and it's in
the same universe as Alan Wake.

292
00:12:33,063 --> 00:12:36,403
Those are, like, top-tier games for me

293
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:42,813
Oh yeah, Metal Gear Solid, uh, the Master
Collection 2 came out on PC and other pl-

294
00:12:42,853 --> 00:12:48,493
platforms, and there are some references
to like the PS5- the PS3's, uh, Blu-ray

295
00:12:48,493 --> 00:12:50,713
discs, and they've updated that reference.

296
00:12:51,503 --> 00:12:56,713
They had Otacon's, uh, voice actor
re- con- re-record lines depending

297
00:12:56,713 --> 00:12:58,203
on what platform you're on.

298
00:12:58,743 --> 00:13:00,543
I haven't heard the PC line though

299
00:13:01,543 --> 00:13:01,913
That's good.

300
00:13:01,973 --> 00:13:03,103
At least they updated that 'cause

301
00:13:04,210 --> 00:13:09,470
Yeah, 'cause imagine if they said, yeah,
imagine if they, uh, said, "Oh, you're

302
00:13:09,470 --> 00:13:14,460
playing on a PS3," and then you're
playing, like, the Xbox version Oh, well.

303
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,510
That would've been kind of funny.

304
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:18,250
But, I mean, Gamescom is Gamescom.

305
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:25,120
There are some games that are
interesting, but… What is that

306
00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:30,310
this is Carpark Capital by MicroProse,
dude This is actually, this,

307
00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:32,410
the, m- you remember MicroProse?

308
00:13:34,390 --> 00:13:36,230
I didn't know that they
were still publishing

309
00:13:37,214 --> 00:13:38,454
The ones that made Micro Machines?

310
00:13:39,296 --> 00:13:40,976
No, MicroProse.

311
00:13:41,016 --> 00:13:41,996
The, they, uh,

312
00:13:42,236 --> 00:13:42,596
Oh

313
00:13:42,616 --> 00:13:46,216
used to make, like, dude, they
published, like, X-COM and, like,

314
00:13:46,369 --> 00:13:46,689
Yeah

315
00:13:47,796 --> 00:13:51,136
uh, a bunch of, like, those
old, like, old PC games.

316
00:13:51,156 --> 00:13:55,476
I think they did, uh… Was, did
they do Rollercoaster Tycoon, or no?

317
00:13:55,506 --> 00:13:56,516
That was just Atari.

318
00:13:57,646 --> 00:13:58,026
I don't know.

319
00:13:58,036 --> 00:14:02,016
But MicroProse, they were, like, some
of my favorite games back in the day.

320
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:03,536
Theme Hospital they might have done.

321
00:14:03,876 --> 00:14:05,636
But anyway, look at this.

322
00:14:05,656 --> 00:14:09,656
This game actually looks like a
little bit of, uh, satire and, uh,

323
00:14:09,996 --> 00:14:11,906
political commentary about cars.

324
00:14:13,156 --> 00:14:14,146
I would hope, anyway.

325
00:14:15,412 --> 00:14:18,122
Gardner has a lot of opinions
on cars, let's just say.

326
00:14:18,132 --> 00:14:20,012
If you haven't watched
the previous episodes,

327
00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:20,510
Oh my

328
00:14:20,642 --> 00:14:22,592
I would sug- I would
suggest watching those

329
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Dude,

330
00:14:24,924 --> 00:14:25,264
We

331
00:14:25,287 --> 00:14:29,887
you don't… Yeah, it does look… Oh,
nothing, I was gonna make a stupid joke.

332
00:14:30,134 --> 00:14:32,214
This looks, this does look pretty fun

333
00:14:32,997 --> 00:14:33,567
yeah.

334
00:14:34,897 --> 00:14:35,337
It does.

335
00:14:35,337 --> 00:14:35,647
It,

336
00:14:36,017 --> 00:14:40,187
fun It, but my pro- my problem with
these styles, unless they really

337
00:14:40,207 --> 00:14:44,527
upgrade the gameplay really well,
I think I'd rather go back and

338
00:14:44,527 --> 00:14:46,157
play the classics that look similar

339
00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:48,400
I mean, they might have.

340
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:50,260
We, I mean, the game's not out yet, right?

341
00:14:51,737 --> 00:14:54,957
But the whole point of the trailer is to
showcase if it is different or not, right?

342
00:14:55,367 --> 00:14:59,757
It d- it definitely looks like it, it's
better gameplay, but it feels so similar

343
00:14:59,757 --> 00:15:02,427
to that, it makes me just wanna go back
and play, like, Rollercoaster Tycoon

344
00:15:03,992 --> 00:15:04,252
Yeah.

345
00:15:04,252 --> 00:15:07,232
Oh yeah, it's definitely, for the
audio listeners, it's definitely

346
00:15:07,302 --> 00:15:11,212
R- RCT inspired or like Transport
Tycoon or something like that.

347
00:15:11,332 --> 00:15:13,932
It kinda looks like Theme
Hospital, like not gonna

348
00:15:14,081 --> 00:15:14,611
Yeah

349
00:15:15,482 --> 00:15:15,802
Yeah

350
00:15:18,401 --> 00:15:18,771
Just

351
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:19,370
Mm

352
00:15:20,311 --> 00:15:20,651
This has

353
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:21,030
know, did you

354
00:15:21,071 --> 00:15:23,811
gotta be a play on the
oil industry, but yeah

355
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,530
look, there's a Ferris wheel for cars.

356
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,610
Like, that's amazing actually.

357
00:15:30,909 --> 00:15:32,459
Ah, don't give him ideas, man

358
00:15:33,048 --> 00:15:33,158
Uh, yeah

359
00:15:34,589 --> 00:15:35,209
Damn

360
00:15:36,209 --> 00:15:36,339
I

361
00:15:36,469 --> 00:15:36,949
Sounds like you're th-

362
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:39,914
bonus one, but it reminds me of Buc-ee's.

363
00:15:39,914 --> 00:15:44,849
Buc-ee's just announced that they're only
gonna be in red states now, which is so

364
00:15:45,059 --> 00:15:45,749
Bucky?

365
00:15:45,992 --> 00:15:47,032
Good, they can keep

366
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:47,549
No.

367
00:15:48,351 --> 00:15:48,691
Yep

368
00:15:48,942 --> 00:15:49,612
Holy fuck

369
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:51,869
in my state, and my state's
technically a blue state

370
00:15:52,607 --> 00:15:55,557
Yeah, but that's now is
what they're focusing on

371
00:15:57,033 --> 00:15:58,003
Well, yeah, that's true.

372
00:15:58,023 --> 00:15:58,533
That's true

373
00:15:59,359 --> 00:16:00,379
So it's interesting,

374
00:16:01,087 --> 00:16:01,747
Well, that sucks.

375
00:16:01,747 --> 00:16:03,967
Uh, Buck- Buc-ee's is
actually really nice.

376
00:16:03,967 --> 00:16:05,347
Buc-ee's is really nice.

377
00:16:05,347 --> 00:16:07,807
They have really nice bathrooms,
and, like, the food there

378
00:16:07,807 --> 00:16:08,707
is pretty good actually.

379
00:16:09,547 --> 00:16:11,897
And it's not even just
good for gas station food.

380
00:16:11,897 --> 00:16:14,257
I mean, it's, like,
actually pretty good food

381
00:16:15,257 --> 00:16:16,077
Yeah.

382
00:16:16,136 --> 00:16:16,776
but

383
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:19,127
it out when it comes here
because, you know, Utah.

384
00:16:20,496 --> 00:16:20,716
Yeah.

385
00:16:21,086 --> 00:16:22,056
Whoa, what the hell?

386
00:16:22,710 --> 00:16:23,040
What?

387
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:24,950
It says low frame rate detected

388
00:16:25,466 --> 00:16:29,456
yeah, sorry, I just, it just started
playing the audio for the trailer here.

389
00:16:30,756 --> 00:16:34,376
I just added it to my Steam wishlist
'cause it actually looks pretty fun.

390
00:16:34,777 --> 00:16:37,217
the more we talk about it, the
more and more you wanna try it now?

391
00:16:38,234 --> 00:16:41,604
well, I, I'm hoping that it's,
uh, what I want it to be.

392
00:16:43,264 --> 00:16:44,164
Oh my gosh.

393
00:16:44,184 --> 00:16:48,124
Also MicroProse, what el- what was the
game, like the big game that I remember?

394
00:16:49,124 --> 00:16:50,374
But anyway, yeah.

395
00:16:50,864 --> 00:16:53,464
Dude, so Gamescom, pretty cool.

396
00:16:54,654 --> 00:16:58,554
Um, we, uh, also the other, the other
thing we, we didn't add to the list, but,

397
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:02,864
uh, GTA VI trailer, um, did you, you guys

398
00:17:02,946 --> 00:17:06,366
It came, yeah, I, I, I
watched, I like skipped around.

399
00:17:06,366 --> 00:17:09,436
I skipped to the part… I skipped
all of the, like, life stuff, 'cause

400
00:17:09,436 --> 00:17:10,496
I don't really care about that.

401
00:17:10,506 --> 00:17:15,086
But I wanted to get to, like, the
actual fun parts, the doing crime part

402
00:17:16,190 --> 00:17:16,340
Yeah

403
00:17:17,442 --> 00:17:22,532
Dude, no one plays… No one's
playing GTA to, like, live a life sim.

404
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,562
That sounds stupid.

405
00:17:25,422 --> 00:17:25,792
Right?

406
00:17:25,852 --> 00:17:26,132
Like,

407
00:17:26,422 --> 00:17:26,772
the only one.

408
00:17:26,832 --> 00:17:27,052
Like,

409
00:17:27,052 --> 00:17:28,982
I'm All right.

410
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:31,572
Well, you're stupid.

411
00:17:31,862 --> 00:17:32,412
Just kidding.

412
00:17:33,223 --> 00:17:33,503
Geez.

413
00:17:33,753 --> 00:17:36,243
I use it the, I use it as a
sandbox game more than anything.

414
00:17:36,263 --> 00:17:37,663
I play around, I like go

415
00:17:37,663 --> 00:17:39,453
and, and screw around.

416
00:17:39,453 --> 00:17:40,453
I don't play the story

417
00:17:42,318 --> 00:17:45,028
HiTech, if you're not playing it
for the life sim, then why are

418
00:17:45,028 --> 00:17:46,908
you even logging onto GTA Online?

419
00:17:46,998 --> 00:17:47,418
Come on

420
00:17:48,228 --> 00:17:49,448
To kill everyone else.

421
00:17:49,873 --> 00:17:50,823
Exactly

422
00:17:51,942 --> 00:17:54,202
Uh, dude,

423
00:17:54,311 --> 00:17:54,831
not life

424
00:17:56,252 --> 00:18:01,202
I, I might be crazy, but like GTA
is one of those games that like I

425
00:18:01,232 --> 00:18:03,642
don't feel like it… First of all,
I don't feel like it has meaningfully

426
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:05,732
evolved since like San Andreas.

427
00:18:06,812 --> 00:18:10,362
but also like it's one of those
games that I put in the category of

428
00:18:10,362 --> 00:18:13,252
like wading through mud simulator.

429
00:18:13,252 --> 00:18:15,022
Like it's so slow.

430
00:18:15,032 --> 00:18:19,652
Like just I want my character to
move like, and have, uh, be fun.

431
00:18:19,652 --> 00:18:21,482
I don't wanna… know, dude

432
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:22,150
on now.

433
00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:25,350
When you put it in that category,
you're also comparing to Dark Souls.

434
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:28,190
There's no way you just
compared GTA VI to-

435
00:18:29,156 --> 00:18:30,916
I'm talking like controls.

436
00:18:30,946 --> 00:18:31,866
I'm comparing them.

437
00:18:32,106 --> 00:18:37,196
Like Tomb Raider is like one of the only
third person games that's come out within

438
00:18:37,196 --> 00:18:41,226
the last like 10 years that controls
well, and even then it's kinda slow.

439
00:18:41,226 --> 00:18:44,496
Like I'm talking, like even, um,
what's the one that everybody

440
00:18:44,496 --> 00:18:45,466
loves from Naughty Dog?

441
00:18:45,706 --> 00:18:46,466
The Last of Us?

442
00:18:46,506 --> 00:18:47,836
That's so slow, dude.

443
00:18:47,846 --> 00:18:49,936
Moving in that game feels so boring.

444
00:18:50,836 --> 00:18:51,026
I don't

445
00:18:51,038 --> 00:18:51,528
True that.

446
00:18:51,538 --> 00:18:52,328
True that

447
00:18:52,931 --> 00:18:53,731
Oh my gosh.

448
00:18:54,141 --> 00:18:54,371
It's

449
00:18:54,378 --> 00:18:54,788
Well

450
00:18:54,921 --> 00:18:57,461
that way, and that's okay if
that's not your type of game.

451
00:18:57,491 --> 00:19:02,681
It's, it's fine, but it's meant to feel
like there's weight to decisions, to what

452
00:19:02,681 --> 00:19:06,831
you're doing, to… Like, you get, you
get accustomed to it over time a- and

453
00:19:06,831 --> 00:19:08,521
get used to it to where you can react.

454
00:19:08,521 --> 00:19:11,071
It's just, it really comes down to
you gotta get used to it, though.

455
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:13,341
It it's like

456
00:19:13,554 --> 00:19:14,104
that's fair

457
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:17,450
They're, They're, the, I think they're
more controller games, I should say.

458
00:19:17,650 --> 00:19:18,030
'Cause I,

459
00:19:18,659 --> 00:19:19,059
Yeah

460
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,690
I mean, you're probably playing
these on controller, right, though?

461
00:19:21,868 --> 00:19:23,368
I, Yeah, I only play with a controller.

462
00:19:23,368 --> 00:19:24,848
I don't like playing on PC

463
00:19:24,994 --> 00:19:28,564
Yeah, 'cause Dark Souls on PC,
like keyboard and mouse is ass.

464
00:19:28,844 --> 00:19:31,024
You should never be playing Dark
S- you should never play Dark

465
00:19:31,024 --> 00:19:32,344
Souls with a keyboard and mouse

466
00:19:32,791 --> 00:19:33,811
Challenge accepted

467
00:19:34,838 --> 00:19:39,438
I feel like d- if your character…
The, I think the disconnect for me

468
00:19:39,458 --> 00:19:44,778
is, like, you can move this, the, the
s- the camera really quickly, but you

469
00:19:44,778 --> 00:19:47,238
can't move your character as quickly.

470
00:19:47,688 --> 00:19:51,608
So they can turn on a dime, but
they can't, like, move at, like,

471
00:19:51,828 --> 00:19:55,478
in a speed that that feels like
it should necessitate, and that's,

472
00:19:55,548 --> 00:19:56,678
that's the issue I have with it.

473
00:19:57,588 --> 00:19:57,688
I

474
00:19:57,794 --> 00:19:58,634
That's fair enough.

475
00:19:59,034 --> 00:19:59,184
Ooh

476
00:19:59,228 --> 00:20:02,988
I could, I could go on a
diatribe about that, but yeah.

477
00:20:04,258 --> 00:20:04,324
Ooh, dark.

478
00:20:04,324 --> 00:20:04,390
Let's see

479
00:20:04,390 --> 00:20:04,588
what, got here.

480
00:20:04,588 --> 00:20:09,668
There's a lot, there are a lot of
games I'm probably missing 'cause,

481
00:20:09,668 --> 00:20:12,938
like, there's just so many games on
this thing that I'm just kinda glazing

482
00:20:12,938 --> 00:20:14,298
my eyes over every, all of them

483
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:16,120
Yeah, I just keep scrolling.

484
00:20:16,140 --> 00:20:21,910
There's a ton of games on here, and,
uh, as we talked about in the, um, in

485
00:20:21,910 --> 00:20:26,600
the bonus show, lot of these games are
only gonna make about a 3,000 bucks on

486
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,520
Steam, so, uh, that's, you know, that

487
00:20:31,661 --> 00:20:37,351
these because of way that they were
getting, um, advertised here, it

488
00:20:37,351 --> 00:20:39,811
will probably help them, but yeah,
they're not gonna make a whole lot

489
00:20:40,772 --> 00:20:41,172
Yeah.

490
00:20:41,242 --> 00:20:41,612
man.

491
00:20:41,662 --> 00:20:45,072
I mean, it seems like it's just a matter
of how much marketing you're willing to do

492
00:20:46,072 --> 00:20:50,212
' Cause like all the big studio, all the big
studios have a lot of marketing budget.

493
00:20:51,272 --> 00:20:53,132
Probably because there's
so many games on Steam

494
00:20:54,011 --> 00:20:56,651
half of these are anime ones
too, which is interesting.

495
00:20:57,451 --> 00:21:00,931
there's a lot of anime based
ones or at least a- like heavy

496
00:21:00,951 --> 00:21:03,311
anime or animation influenced

497
00:21:03,642 --> 00:21:04,052
Yeah.

498
00:21:04,771 --> 00:21:05,421
styles

499
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:10,342
games or visual novels, they stand to
make the most, uh, revenue on Steam.

500
00:21:10,492 --> 00:21:10,792
But

501
00:21:12,184 --> 00:21:14,574
There's at least one visual novel, so

502
00:21:15,222 --> 00:21:15,652
Yeah.

503
00:21:15,654 --> 00:21:17,374
that's gonna make, that's
gonna make game be-

504
00:21:17,931 --> 00:21:18,841
The Expanse

505
00:21:19,032 --> 00:21:22,732
I've, uh, I've scrolled so much
that it's starting to repeat.

506
00:21:22,872 --> 00:21:26,962
Like, it's just an endless scroll,
and it's repeating over and over

507
00:21:27,203 --> 00:21:27,843
already out?

508
00:21:29,658 --> 00:21:30,088
Is it?

509
00:21:30,915 --> 00:21:31,525
Interesting.

510
00:21:31,975 --> 00:21:33,045
Yeah, 007's already out.

511
00:21:33,045 --> 00:21:34,325
It's been out for, like, two months

512
00:21:35,834 --> 00:21:37,564
I think there's an update
because they're coming out with

513
00:21:37,564 --> 00:21:39,104
a new, like, story expansion.

514
00:21:41,014 --> 00:21:43,154
It's supposed to feature
Lenny Kravitz's character

515
00:21:44,154 --> 00:21:44,764
Interesting

516
00:21:44,943 --> 00:21:46,143
to… I, I'll play it one day.

517
00:21:46,203 --> 00:21:48,113
Like, I've heard really
good things about it.

518
00:21:48,193 --> 00:21:49,073
I just, I

519
00:21:49,273 --> 00:21:50,003
It is really good.

520
00:21:50,043 --> 00:21:50,243
It

521
00:21:51,443 --> 00:21:51,793
Yeah

522
00:21:52,212 --> 00:22:00,832
uh, if it has, uh, DLSS 5, it could have
Yassified, uh, DL- uh, Lenny Kravitz in it

523
00:22:02,105 --> 00:22:04,295
It could have Yassified, Lennon Kravitz.

524
00:22:04,335 --> 00:22:07,845
Look, there's, there's DLSS Cloud Strife.

525
00:22:08,515 --> 00:22:08,985
Ugh.

526
00:22:09,136 --> 00:22:09,736
God.

527
00:22:10,076 --> 00:22:10,606
Yeah

528
00:22:10,775 --> 00:22:12,835
know what, you know what
Cloud Strife looks like.

529
00:22:12,845 --> 00:22:16,255
He's like a traditional, like,
kind of pretty boyish vibe.

530
00:22:16,255 --> 00:22:17,045
This is just

531
00:22:18,045 --> 00:22:18,295
This

532
00:22:18,302 --> 00:22:18,722
Bro.

533
00:22:18,792 --> 00:22:19,212
turning a

534
00:22:19,222 --> 00:22:19,422
On

535
00:22:19,452 --> 00:22:20,402
boy into a femboy

536
00:22:21,575 --> 00:22:23,865
There, it, it's unsettling.

537
00:22:23,865 --> 00:22:25,485
It doesn't, it doesn't
even look like a femboy

538
00:22:25,485 --> 00:22:25,795
to me.

539
00:22:25,795 --> 00:22:28,575
He looks like, uh, I don't even know.

540
00:22:29,355 --> 00:22:30,915
It just looks wrong.

541
00:22:32,125 --> 00:22:33,555
Okay, I'll give you that.

542
00:22:33,753 --> 00:22:37,163
there are comparison p- there are
comparisons down below in that article.

543
00:22:37,174 --> 00:22:37,394
me.

544
00:22:37,394 --> 00:22:37,424
That's just me

545
00:22:38,853 --> 00:22:40,223
A lot more comparisons.

546
00:22:41,463 --> 00:22:42,013
There's

547
00:22:42,493 --> 00:22:42,733
In the

548
00:22:42,954 --> 00:22:45,874
this… So I will say this

549
00:22:46,789 --> 00:22:48,269
Holy, look, it's Control.

550
00:22:48,716 --> 00:22:49,136
Yeah

551
00:22:50,849 --> 00:22:53,679
Dude, what is… Dude, no fucking way

552
00:22:54,048 --> 00:22:54,338
that's a

553
00:22:54,431 --> 00:22:56,771
they shut off, like, tress
effects or something?

554
00:22:56,771 --> 00:22:58,471
'Cause this hair looks like dog shit

555
00:22:59,471 --> 00:23:00,571
I don't fucking know

556
00:23:00,995 --> 00:23:01,115
Uh,

557
00:23:02,792 --> 00:23:03,102
I

558
00:23:03,165 --> 00:23:09,815
don't, I honestly… Here's my take on
DLSS 5, is that it is, are u- doing the m-

559
00:23:09,845 --> 00:23:13,545
like, you can crank it up all the way and
you're gonna get the more yes-ified looks.

560
00:23:13,605 --> 00:23:17,195
I've looked at a lot that
don't crank it up that high.

561
00:23:17,435 --> 00:23:22,945
So think these are kinda designed to,
for outrage when, don't get me wrong,

562
00:23:22,955 --> 00:23:27,925
there is outrage from it, but I don't…
These are just cranked all the way up

563
00:23:28,925 --> 00:23:29,655
I agree, man.

564
00:23:29,665 --> 00:23:30,995
It's some bullshit.

565
00:23:31,965 --> 00:23:36,685
So I ha- I think I've seen, uh, cases
where they like will re- compare low…

566
00:23:36,985 --> 00:23:38,925
All right, so I think I get the rationale.

567
00:23:38,925 --> 00:23:42,615
They're trying to set the graphics
to low and let DLSS do all the work,

568
00:23:42,625 --> 00:23:44,855
'cause that's basic- Like, there's
no point in running a game at a

569
00:23:44,855 --> 00:23:47,845
high graphical detail when DLSS is
just gonna do everything, right?

570
00:23:48,671 --> 00:23:48,771
I

571
00:23:48,928 --> 00:23:49,488
Yeah

572
00:23:49,491 --> 00:23:49,851
Yeah

573
00:23:51,829 --> 00:23:52,879
Dude, what the fuck?

574
00:23:53,191 --> 00:23:54,771
interesting, but like

575
00:23:56,469 --> 00:24:02,409
So to be clear though, DLSS
5 is not officially released.

576
00:24:02,409 --> 00:24:10,309
DLSS 5 was actually leaked as
part of, uh, NBA 2K, uh, 2K27.

577
00:24:10,439 --> 00:24:14,759
You know, slop- the slop
machine inside the slop game

578
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,440
They had to add something new to the game.

579
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:20,710
They're like, "What could we do? Oh,
we could just add, patch in DLSS 5 and

580
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:22,070
that's it. That's all we'll do to it."

581
00:24:22,325 --> 00:24:27,385
Yeah, patching DLSS 5 to make the, uh,
to make the basketball, uh, players

582
00:24:27,385 --> 00:24:29,245
look more like their real-life selves

583
00:24:30,245 --> 00:24:31,805
Heaven forbid they update a model one year

584
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:35,685
So the, the manual tweaking you have
to do, there's an ungodly amount

585
00:24:35,685 --> 00:24:40,755
of manual tweaking you have to do
to make it look a certain way, and

586
00:24:40,755 --> 00:24:42,495
it lo- it still looks really off.

587
00:24:43,235 --> 00:24:43,825
It actually, yeah-

588
00:24:44,029 --> 00:24:44,989
very strange.

589
00:24:46,829 --> 00:24:50,359
I mean, it looks very much like, you
know, those AI filter- like those AI

590
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,639
ads that you've probably seen on YouTube

591
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,509
Yes And there's

592
00:24:54,694 --> 00:24:55,744
Stuff about what I don't like

593
00:24:57,669 --> 00:24:57,949
like

594
00:24:58,049 --> 00:25:01,919
the, the, the AI mocap weird combination.

595
00:25:01,929 --> 00:25:05,799
Like I've always found motion
capture to be like kind of strange

596
00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:07,249
and off-putting and hard to watch.

597
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:12,329
And then you combine that with
like the AI filter over top of

598
00:25:12,329 --> 00:25:14,039
it and it's like, yikes dude.

599
00:25:15,389 --> 00:25:18,499
It makes me feel like I'm watching
The Backyardigans or something.

600
00:25:18,709 --> 00:25:18,739
Like

601
00:25:19,793 --> 00:25:23,433
Yeah, notice how none of these videos
are like them in combat at all?

602
00:25:23,533 --> 00:25:25,843
They're all just like
walking around doing shit

603
00:25:27,051 --> 00:25:27,421
Yeah

604
00:25:28,111 --> 00:25:33,861
I'd be one to b- like, there's also an
example of Monster Hunter Wilds, um,

605
00:25:33,871 --> 00:25:39,841
Monster Hunter Rise down below in the
article too, and it, it looks kinda

606
00:25:40,551 --> 00:25:42,721
unsettling too, to, to say the least.

607
00:25:42,731 --> 00:25:42,751
At

608
00:25:43,215 --> 00:25:43,715
Where is that?

609
00:25:44,661 --> 00:25:45,691
the very bottom

610
00:25:45,885 --> 00:25:46,925
age restricted here

611
00:25:47,993 --> 00:25:49,973
Well, no, there's one at
the, like, bottom bottom.

612
00:25:51,183 --> 00:25:54,573
It's a Twitter thread, but… Oh.

613
00:25:56,273 --> 00:25:57,143
Oh, that's weird.

614
00:25:57,153 --> 00:25:57,633
It's gone.

615
00:25:58,049 --> 00:25:58,289
It's

616
00:25:58,593 --> 00:25:59,743
I guess, yeah

617
00:26:00,299 --> 00:26:04,859
I think I have an extension that blocks,
um, em- Twitter embeds or something.

618
00:26:06,299 --> 00:26:07,769
Where's the music?

619
00:26:08,769 --> 00:26:10,179
So the…

620
00:26:11,466 --> 00:26:11,646
Great

621
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:14,839
I think the results happened,
like, toward… I don't know.

622
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,479
There, there's a lot of sh-
the… I… That… Oh, no.

623
00:26:18,489 --> 00:26:21,149
What the… No, no, don't do that.

624
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:25,699
People are saying this is a
good thing, and, like, from what

625
00:26:25,699 --> 00:26:27,689
I've seen, it looks terrible.

626
00:26:27,879 --> 00:26:32,739
And from what I can gather, they don't
even try this in, like, actual gameplay.

627
00:26:33,409 --> 00:26:36,469
I'm willing to bet this breaks even
harder when you're, like, fighting

628
00:26:37,658 --> 00:26:38,378
Well, one

629
00:26:38,378 --> 00:26:38,628
thing I

630
00:26:38,657 --> 00:26:41,947
it pro- it, it probably can,
but like you've noticed, like

631
00:26:41,947 --> 00:26:43,237
they maximize everything.

632
00:26:43,237 --> 00:26:47,227
So like this is really not
showing a good picture of DLSS 5.

633
00:26:47,267 --> 00:26:51,457
I don't like it whe- like we can have
fun and like blow it out of proportion,

634
00:26:51,457 --> 00:26:55,627
whatever, but it's not being honest
though, like a lot of the stuff I've seen.

635
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:59,447
'Cause I've seen, I've seen before and
after where I'm like it's much more

636
00:26:59,447 --> 00:27:03,197
like base but still makes it look nicer.

637
00:27:03,547 --> 00:27:07,177
It just helps with shadows and stuff
like that, and it doesn't look uncanny.

638
00:27:07,407 --> 00:27:08,247
So this is…

639
00:27:09,392 --> 00:27:09,732
Dude,

640
00:27:09,897 --> 00:27:10,567
I don't know.

641
00:27:10,797 --> 00:27:12,167
We gotta be caref- I don't know.

642
00:27:12,287 --> 00:27:12,537
Yeah.

643
00:27:12,877 --> 00:27:13,077
Sorry

644
00:27:13,488 --> 00:27:16,888
This comment, "It's crazy they're
adding an art style remover."

645
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:22,977
Uh, what, w- which really begs the
question though, what would happen

646
00:27:22,977 --> 00:27:27,397
in like a photorealistic game if you
were to enable DLSS 5 and then like

647
00:27:27,597 --> 00:27:29,257
the game has like gore or some shit?

648
00:27:30,967 --> 00:27:32,237
What would happen there?

649
00:27:33,368 --> 00:27:35,698
Well, that's a good question.

650
00:27:37,737 --> 00:27:39,167
'
Cause like in Cyberpunk you can…

651
00:27:39,425 --> 00:27:40,185
made… Yeah

652
00:27:41,007 --> 00:27:43,247
Like in Cyberpunk you can
like dismember and like blow

653
00:27:43,247 --> 00:27:44,597
people's heads off and stuff.

654
00:27:45,437 --> 00:27:46,127
So like

655
00:27:46,369 --> 00:27:46,509
Mm-hmm

656
00:27:47,067 --> 00:27:50,417
what would happen if it,
you DLSS 5'd the gore?

657
00:27:51,067 --> 00:27:54,727
Would it like pull trained
images of like… That's

658
00:27:54,727 --> 00:27:56,027
fucked up to think about really

659
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:57,650
Ja

660
00:27:58,650 --> 00:27:59,720
Well, I just killed the

661
00:28:02,116 --> 00:28:02,696
Whoa, which one?

662
00:28:02,696 --> 00:28:03,006
Both?

663
00:28:05,766 --> 00:28:06,496
That's a good one.

664
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:12,606
Um, yeah, I mean, so one thing I noticed
here, like I wanna pull this one back up

665
00:28:12,616 --> 00:28:14,156
'cause I think that this is important.

666
00:28:14,896 --> 00:28:18,826
Um, when they walk through this,
um, when they walk through the…

667
00:28:19,136 --> 00:28:20,696
Oh, I think it's earlier here.

668
00:28:21,376 --> 00:28:25,826
were walking through the, uh,
like the f- water fountain area.

669
00:28:25,836 --> 00:28:27,776
I think it's before this.

670
00:28:27,786 --> 00:28:28,316
Where is it?

671
00:28:30,176 --> 00:28:31,076
Gosh darn it.

672
00:28:31,116 --> 00:28:31,926
I noticed

673
00:28:34,118 --> 00:28:38,288
Okay, watch the butterfly as
they walk through this area.

674
00:28:39,288 --> 00:28:39,518
Come on.

675
00:28:39,648 --> 00:28:40,248
Where is it?

676
00:28:41,788 --> 00:28:44,268
I- it's showing a pretty low
frame rate for us, so we may

677
00:28:44,304 --> 00:28:44,604
Oh.

678
00:28:44,913 --> 00:28:45,403
Yeah

679
00:28:45,614 --> 00:28:48,894
there, there's a butterfly here that
keeps, like, flickering in and out, and

680
00:28:48,894 --> 00:28:52,494
it's like b- and it, there's like…
It, it's like going one frame and then

681
00:28:52,494 --> 00:28:56,484
the next, and there's, it's not, like,
interpreting the motion of the butterfly.

682
00:28:56,964 --> 00:29:01,674
Uh, like, that's the kind of stuff
that I can't, like… I notice.

683
00:29:01,684 --> 00:29:03,824
It jumps out at me immediately,
takes me right out.

684
00:29:04,114 --> 00:29:07,184
And there's probably ways that you
can adjust that, but, like, that's

685
00:29:07,184 --> 00:29:11,344
the kind of stuff that I just can't
do, even with, like, normal DS- DLSS.

686
00:29:12,104 --> 00:29:16,734
like, that kind of fine detail that
gets lost just, I can't handle it

687
00:29:18,427 --> 00:29:22,277
When it comes to that type of stuff,
I've not had issues with missing assets

688
00:29:22,407 --> 00:29:25,567
coming into play, even with FSR and DLSS.

689
00:29:25,587 --> 00:29:30,207
But could, uh, well, frame
gen can cause that, I'm sure.

690
00:29:30,247 --> 00:29:32,497
I just haven't played a
game where that's happened.

691
00:29:32,607 --> 00:29:39,117
But I don't, I don't increase DLSS or FSR
high enough to probably have that happen

692
00:29:39,426 --> 00:29:40,606
Gardner, uh,

693
00:29:40,664 --> 00:29:40,974
Hmm.

694
00:29:41,656 --> 00:29:43,906
I just found another
example that you can show.

695
00:29:43,906 --> 00:29:46,596
It's probably the most
egregious example I've seen

696
00:29:47,835 --> 00:29:53,895
I mean, sorry, I'm being very, like, all
these are just extreme examples of DLSS 5.

697
00:29:53,905 --> 00:29:59,825
Like, this is not… Like, this, this
is fun, but, like, this is not what

698
00:29:59,825 --> 00:30:01,265
it's gonna probably end up being like

699
00:30:02,248 --> 00:30:03,088
Dude, this

700
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:04,298
my girl Tifa

701
00:30:05,148 --> 00:30:08,108
this reminds me of the Final
Fantasy animated movie.

702
00:30:08,258 --> 00:30:13,968
Like, just looks a little too real
while also not looking real at all,

703
00:30:14,481 --> 00:30:14,801
It

704
00:30:15,058 --> 00:30:15,248
ugh.

705
00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:16,630
W- which one are you talking about?

706
00:30:17,030 --> 00:30:18,300
The, like, Spirits Within?

707
00:30:18,658 --> 00:30:19,028
Within?

708
00:30:19,028 --> 00:30:19,368
yeah

709
00:30:19,790 --> 00:30:20,510
Oh, yeah, I agree.

710
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:22,270
That one is terrible

711
00:30:23,162 --> 00:30:25,532
Bro, why would you do this?

712
00:30:26,382 --> 00:30:27,402
this reminds me of?

713
00:30:27,472 --> 00:30:33,032
It reminds me of, uh, like the guys that
were like, I can't handle my anime at 20

714
00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:37,652
frames a second, so I up-scaled it to 60."
It's like… Or all the people who are

715
00:30:37,652 --> 00:30:43,722
like, who leave the, um, the, like, TV's
sharpening f- uh, like filters and, and

716
00:30:43,732 --> 00:30:46,892
frame generation stuff on on their TV.

717
00:30:47,332 --> 00:30:51,562
It's like, it's literally worse
and ruining the experience.

718
00:30:51,642 --> 00:30:52,392
Why?

719
00:30:53,252 --> 00:30:54,142
are we doing this?

720
00:30:55,152 --> 00:30:55,382
Ugh.

721
00:30:56,382 --> 00:31:00,142
Like, I mean, y- if you leave this
in the hands of, like, developers,

722
00:31:01,102 --> 00:31:03,452
maybe they could, they could
come up with some cool stuff.

723
00:31:03,452 --> 00:31:07,112
Like, I'm not, like, just 100%
opposed to this kind of thing.

724
00:31:07,482 --> 00:31:12,302
It, it's just as long as it's trained
ethically, which a lot of it isn't, and

725
00:31:12,332 --> 00:31:18,422
as long as it's being used to augment the
art and not destroy it, which to me, this

726
00:31:18,432 --> 00:31:21,272
is, like, objectively destroyed art, um,

727
00:31:21,443 --> 00:31:23,203
is, extreme cases.

728
00:31:23,203 --> 00:31:24,283
This is what I keep on trying to say.

729
00:31:24,313 --> 00:31:25,203
This is extreme ca-

730
00:31:25,278 --> 00:31:25,808
Yeah.

731
00:31:25,893 --> 00:31:26,953
it all the way up.

732
00:31:26,953 --> 00:31:31,063
You're gonna have this with so many
different fil- filters alone will do that.

733
00:31:31,643 --> 00:31:34,003
Um, now the ethical side of things,
that's a different, you know,

734
00:31:34,003 --> 00:31:37,133
story, but like this is not what
it's gonna look like unless you're

735
00:31:37,803 --> 00:31:39,793
wanting to have a funny time.

736
00:31:39,803 --> 00:31:42,143
But people believe this is what
it's going, the end, the end

737
00:31:42,143 --> 00:31:44,323
game's gonna look like, and I don't
think that's what it's gonna be

738
00:31:45,182 --> 00:31:45,492
Yeah.

739
00:31:45,522 --> 00:31:46,552
The en- the, like

740
00:31:46,791 --> 00:31:48,611
It's funny, but

741
00:31:48,612 --> 00:31:49,522
fully maxed at

742
00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:50,091
yeah.

743
00:31:50,351 --> 00:31:52,761
That, that, that's my whole point
is that people aren't under- Uh,

744
00:31:52,761 --> 00:31:57,031
it's why I wanna really preface this
'cause I, I'm getting tired of like,

745
00:31:57,051 --> 00:32:01,111
we have so much to rage about in,
in the gaming world and everything.

746
00:32:01,531 --> 00:32:04,671
This, we can rage a- We, we don- I
don't… It should be more like we

747
00:32:04,671 --> 00:32:06,811
should laugh at it because it's stupid.

748
00:32:07,141 --> 00:32:09,021
And if they do do this, we can rage.

749
00:32:09,021 --> 00:32:11,731
Like, if this is like the game
was what this looks like bec- and

750
00:32:11,741 --> 00:32:15,621
you enable, and you have no other
options besides DLSS 5 to have it

751
00:32:15,621 --> 00:32:18,291
run okay, we should start raging.

752
00:32:18,341 --> 00:32:20,571
I don't think this is how it's
gonna be, but this is pretty

753
00:32:20,646 --> 00:32:23,126
S- so I will say this though.

754
00:32:23,156 --> 00:32:27,076
I think my big problem with this is
that they're bundling this in with a

755
00:32:27,106 --> 00:32:29,196
DLSS instead of making its own thing

756
00:32:29,671 --> 00:32:32,551
Yeah, but th- this is maxed out tech.

757
00:32:32,551 --> 00:32:37,191
This is m- they all, I've seen
so many DLSS 5 versions that are

758
00:32:37,191 --> 00:32:38,751
not maxed out that look fine.

759
00:32:39,611 --> 00:32:40,481
maxed out.

760
00:32:40,881 --> 00:32:44,651
A lot of the rage ones I've seen
are maxed out versions or they've

761
00:32:44,651 --> 00:32:46,481
been tweaked to cause rage.

762
00:32:46,901 --> 00:32:49,811
That's why I'm, I'm like, I've seen
a lot of lower end ones where they

763
00:32:49,811 --> 00:32:51,201
just help improve it a little bit.

764
00:32:52,371 --> 00:32:53,261
No problems

765
00:32:54,876 --> 00:32:56,256
I, I do agree that it's pretty funny

766
00:32:56,778 --> 00:32:58,818
what you're saying,
James, makes sense, right?

767
00:32:58,818 --> 00:33:03,698
Like, is like if you go out of
your way in Skyrim or f- or, or

768
00:33:03,698 --> 00:33:07,778
even like The Sims 2 or whatever
to like make your character look as

769
00:33:07,798 --> 00:33:09,688
ugly as possible on purpose, right?

770
00:33:09,698 --> 00:33:10,548
That's what this is.

771
00:33:10,638 --> 00:33:14,018
But at the same time, like… A-
and like, and like for what I was

772
00:33:14,018 --> 00:33:18,298
saying, like if you leave this in the
hands of developers and artists, you

773
00:33:18,298 --> 00:33:21,508
might end up with something better,
but then you're still left with

774
00:33:21,508 --> 00:33:23,228
the question of how is it trained?

775
00:33:23,538 --> 00:33:24,128
And I guess,

776
00:33:24,131 --> 00:33:24,521
I agree.

777
00:33:24,521 --> 00:33:26,071
I mean, I'm not doubting that.

778
00:33:26,081 --> 00:33:30,741
My problem is, is that have
you guys seen any low, um,

779
00:33:30,931 --> 00:33:34,891
like low-effort DLSS 5 images?

780
00:33:35,511 --> 00:33:37,481
They're way different than
what we've been looking at.

781
00:33:38,181 --> 00:33:39,181
That's all I'm trying to say.

782
00:33:39,181 --> 00:33:39,501
Like,

783
00:33:39,806 --> 00:33:40,216
Yeah

784
00:33:40,281 --> 00:33:45,071
these are all rage bait, uh, um,
to make clicks for a post, which

785
00:33:45,071 --> 00:33:48,871
is fine-ish as long as you're
ethical about calling it out.

786
00:33:48,871 --> 00:33:50,351
I don't think most of them are.

787
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:55,411
They're always designed to be ragey, and
it's like, okay, you can rage against it

788
00:33:55,421 --> 00:34:00,201
for the reasons w- we have, but this is
not what it's gonna look like, and people

789
00:34:00,201 --> 00:34:03,551
are gonna be shocked once they see DLSS 5
in their games, and they're gonna probably

790
00:34:03,551 --> 00:34:07,911
be upset too, 'cause it won't look like
this unless you really tweak it heavy.

791
00:34:08,651 --> 00:34:10,271
So that's what I'm just raging about.

792
00:34:10,271 --> 00:34:14,041
Like, when it's lower end,
you can't tell as much, so.

793
00:34:14,204 --> 00:34:15,804
True, I am just agenda posting.

794
00:34:15,804 --> 00:34:16,504
I just hate Nvidia

795
00:34:17,383 --> 00:34:17,863
That's okay.

796
00:34:17,863 --> 00:34:18,333
That's okay.

797
00:34:18,333 --> 00:34:22,233
Like, that's, I, I just wanna put preface
on that because I don't think it's,

798
00:34:22,513 --> 00:34:26,963
like, don't think it's honest for, uh,
for us to portray it like, "Oh, this

799
00:34:26,973 --> 00:34:29,453
is what it's gonna look like. This is
what it always looks like." This is not.

800
00:34:30,173 --> 00:34:31,853
This is maxed out

801
00:34:32,702 --> 00:34:33,022
Yeah.

802
00:34:34,432 --> 00:34:34,852
Yeah.

803
00:34:35,092 --> 00:34:36,532
Speaking of maxed out

804
00:34:37,482 --> 00:34:42,132
industry is maxing out screwing
you over, and Xbox is trying to

805
00:34:42,142 --> 00:34:43,482
be your friend while doing it.

806
00:34:45,472 --> 00:34:45,682
Or they're

807
00:34:45,852 --> 00:34:46,222
So

808
00:34:46,282 --> 00:34:47,512
into thinking they're your friend,

809
00:34:47,562 --> 00:34:47,902
Yeah

810
00:34:49,602 --> 00:34:54,992
Well, so basically for those who
don't know, this is Xbox's disc to

811
00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:58,472
digital program, something that's
been teased for quite a bit now, but

812
00:34:58,472 --> 00:35:00,122
now it's like officially a thing.

813
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:04,872
Essentially, if you have an Xbox
One or an Xbox Series device, uh,

814
00:35:04,872 --> 00:35:08,702
I get, I think most likely just the
Series X has the disc drive, right?

815
00:35:09,982 --> 00:35:10,292
Yeah

816
00:35:11,590 --> 00:35:15,780
Ba- yeah, so basically if you have one
of those devices, you can stick in your

817
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:18,960
d- you, you can stick in your physical
games and it lets you claim a, quote,

818
00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:24,910
"digital entitlement" that can then be
subsequently revoked if you, like, sell

819
00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:29,100
your game or something So like if you
were, it's like if, so basically if you

820
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:34,380
were like to, if you were to claim digital
entitlement for a game and then sell it

821
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,100
to someone else, they can claim digital
entitlement for that key, for that, uh,

822
00:35:39,110 --> 00:35:44,720
disc copy because I think all the discs
are serialized, so they know exactly…

823
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,770
Yeah, I think they're all, I think they've
all been serialized, truth be told.

824
00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:55,310
But yeah, that way other- otherwise
you'd have people, like d- they'd

825
00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:57,830
like claim digital entitlement and
then they'd sell the games, then you

826
00:35:57,830 --> 00:35:59,930
could just, I don't know, whatever.

827
00:36:00,930 --> 00:36:05,780
So I mean, that's pretty cool given how
much, uh, physical stuff, even though

828
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:09,400
So- like it's pretty cool given, you
know, the news that Sony's killing off

829
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,490
digital discs, but I think this is just
Xbox preparing for that inevitability as

830
00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:17,210
well, for the Project Helix or whatever

831
00:36:17,756 --> 00:36:18,056
Yeah.

832
00:36:19,226 --> 00:36:23,046
I mean, Xbox has been, been
working to this moment since, uh,

833
00:36:23,096 --> 00:36:25,336
you know, was it the Xbox One?

834
00:36:26,205 --> 00:36:26,925
Don Mattrick,

835
00:36:27,226 --> 00:36:28,316
Don Mattrick, yeah

836
00:36:28,709 --> 00:36:30,799
they've been working to go fully digital.

837
00:36:30,829 --> 00:36:31,539
They've even mentioned it.

838
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:32,929
We've talked about multiple times.

839
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:34,072
Yeah.

840
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:38,569
S- so this is just them some,
trying to write a good press

841
00:36:39,522 --> 00:36:39,982
Yes

842
00:36:40,139 --> 00:36:40,709
Xbox

843
00:36:41,709 --> 00:36:41,899
Yeah.

844
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:46,669
And I mean, like, uh, uh,
the fact that you can… Can

845
00:36:46,669 --> 00:36:48,429
you redeem like original Xbox

846
00:36:48,439 --> 00:36:48,909
games?

847
00:36:50,411 --> 00:36:51,901
I think so.

848
00:36:52,241 --> 00:36:57,981
Um, I don't have an Xbox to test
this out with, but I think so

849
00:36:58,743 --> 00:36:59,153
Yeah.

850
00:36:59,244 --> 00:37:04,264
digital entitlement by inserting a sup- a
supported disc into an Xbox One Series X.

851
00:37:04,564 --> 00:37:08,154
Most Xbox One and Series X titles support
this new feature, and digital copies

852
00:37:08,154 --> 00:37:11,324
do get… So original Xbox probably not

853
00:37:12,203 --> 00:37:16,163
Well, I mean, there are probably
some select ones, just not some

854
00:37:16,163 --> 00:37:17,243
of the ones you may expect.

855
00:37:17,243 --> 00:37:17,783
You know what I'm saying?

856
00:37:18,941 --> 00:37:19,101
Uh

857
00:37:20,161 --> 00:37:23,381
'
Cause they do sell original X-
Like if I had like Ninja Gaiden

858
00:37:23,421 --> 00:37:26,311
Black, you could probably claim
digital entitlement for that since

859
00:37:26,321 --> 00:37:28,041
they sell that on the Xbox store

860
00:37:28,596 --> 00:37:28,726
I'm

861
00:37:28,871 --> 00:37:29,091
too

862
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:30,126
I just don't think they're…

863
00:37:31,557 --> 00:37:31,767
Sorry,

864
00:37:31,776 --> 00:37:34,116
Yeah, the, I was just gonna
say, I just don't think they're

865
00:37:34,116 --> 00:37:35,386
gonna support the original Xbox.

866
00:37:35,406 --> 00:37:38,736
There could be a whole order
of different reasons to that,

867
00:37:38,736 --> 00:37:41,076
but I'm not seeing anything

868
00:37:42,237 --> 00:37:45,427
were, were the original Xbox
games, like, serialized?

869
00:37:45,467 --> 00:37:49,367
I, I would be skeptical if
they were, that they were.

870
00:37:49,867 --> 00:37:50,187
I don't,

871
00:37:50,437 --> 00:37:50,567
I

872
00:37:50,647 --> 00:37:51,317
I don't know

873
00:37:51,747 --> 00:37:55,287
I feel like if they supported select
titles for this, they would, like,

874
00:37:55,777 --> 00:37:59,557
mention it here because they're only
mentioning Xbox One and Series X,

875
00:37:59,897 --> 00:38:05,077
which is like, if you're an Xbox fan,
you were not using these consoles.

876
00:38:05,857 --> 00:38:06,407
Uh, I

877
00:38:06,407 --> 00:38:06,677
don't know

878
00:38:06,717 --> 00:38:07,727
I wasn't anyway

879
00:38:07,809 --> 00:38:10,409
I could see the 360 being serialized

880
00:38:11,094 --> 00:38:11,714
Maybe.

881
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:15,639
they went h- 'cause they definitely went
hard on the anti-piracy during the 360 era

882
00:38:16,006 --> 00:38:18,306
that's c- that doesn't mean sterilized.

883
00:38:18,306 --> 00:38:24,386
But they y- I, I hope they are, but
I just don't see anything about it

884
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:27,346
being related to 360, so we'll see

885
00:38:27,985 --> 00:38:31,995
There's no instance of 360 i-
uh, in this document here, so.

886
00:38:33,438 --> 00:38:33,458
Yeah.

887
00:38:33,615 --> 00:38:34,855
Uh, yeah.

888
00:38:35,008 --> 00:38:36,008
Nothing to give me hope.

889
00:38:36,008 --> 00:38:38,608
I, I would err on the side of probably not

890
00:38:40,387 --> 00:38:40,717
Yeah.

891
00:38:41,164 --> 00:38:42,614
Until they give reason otherwise

892
00:38:43,614 --> 00:38:43,824
So I

893
00:38:43,824 --> 00:38:49,234
mean, makes sense on the face of it,
but at the same time though, I would

894
00:38:49,234 --> 00:38:51,114
just move away from consoles altogether

895
00:38:52,223 --> 00:38:52,543
Yeah.

896
00:38:53,673 --> 00:38:53,983
Yep.

897
00:38:54,758 --> 00:38:57,558
Which means Nintendo is the
only reasonable choice now, even

898
00:38:57,558 --> 00:39:01,098
though we're not the biggest fan
of Nintendo's business practices

899
00:39:01,863 --> 00:39:02,203
No.

900
00:39:03,153 --> 00:39:08,423
But if you are moving to PC,
Valve just celebrated a 30-year

901
00:39:08,423 --> 00:39:10,943
birthday and they didn't mention it.

902
00:39:10,943 --> 00:39:12,903
There wasn't a single
peep about it from them

903
00:39:14,566 --> 00:39:15,896
That's how you know they're locked in.

904
00:39:15,916 --> 00:39:16,666
They're just too bus- they're
just too busy making things

905
00:39:16,666 --> 00:39:18,826
happen 'cause they don't even

906
00:39:19,359 --> 00:39:20,329
Yeah.

907
00:39:20,406 --> 00:39:23,386
own birthday, kind of like how
some of us don't forget their,

908
00:39:23,546 --> 00:39:24,886
are forgetting our own birthdays.

909
00:39:25,359 --> 00:39:25,899
Yeah

910
00:39:26,626 --> 00:39:32,156
Isn't it crazy that Valve… I've,
I'm, I mean, it is sure is a Valve

911
00:39:32,186 --> 00:39:36,366
thing, uh, but I would've expected a
milestone as big as the 30th anniversary

912
00:39:36,366 --> 00:39:39,316
to be, like, something, right?

913
00:39:40,316 --> 00:39:43,586
You would h- you would've thought,
but like, you know, at least they

914
00:39:43,586 --> 00:39:45,936
celebrated the 25th anniversary of,

915
00:39:46,502 --> 00:39:47,392
Half-Life

916
00:39:47,566 --> 00:39:51,926
yeah, with a, with a documentary
and with an updated, uh, client.

917
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:52,286
But

918
00:39:52,963 --> 00:39:55,463
Th- they celebrate the products,
but I don't know about the

919
00:39:55,473 --> 00:39:57,803
company itself, which is fine.

920
00:39:58,153 --> 00:39:58,483
It's

921
00:39:58,648 --> 00:39:59,088
I mean

922
00:39:59,143 --> 00:40:00,573
like, really underwhelming

923
00:40:01,573 --> 00:40:04,293
I mean, I genuinely thought
they would do something.

924
00:40:04,343 --> 00:40:04,933
Like, I don't know.

925
00:40:04,933 --> 00:40:06,393
I… Like, maybe not that much.

926
00:40:06,413 --> 00:40:10,403
I, I would've thought they would've said
like, "We turned 30 today," or something.

927
00:40:10,403 --> 00:40:13,483
M- I, I mean, I didn't expect them to
give us like a free cop- another free copy

928
00:40:13,483 --> 00:40:15,253
of like Half-Life or whatever, but like

929
00:40:16,740 --> 00:40:20,340
Guys, they did the 25th
because that's two five.

930
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:25,250
They didn't do, they didn't do
30 because that's three zero.

931
00:40:25,350 --> 00:40:25,790
Come on.

932
00:40:26,277 --> 00:40:26,497
They have

933
00:40:26,519 --> 00:40:26,799
Ah.

934
00:40:26,817 --> 00:40:27,327
the 40th

935
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:28,770
Yeah.

936
00:40:28,899 --> 00:40:29,589
you're right.

937
00:40:29,629 --> 00:40:30,089
You're right.

938
00:40:30,089 --> 00:40:30,559
You got-

939
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,230
maybe they'll even celebrate the 31st.

940
00:40:33,230 --> 00:40:36,960
It just, it can't be, like, a even
multiple of three for them to mention it.

941
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,150
Ah, shit.

942
00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:40,370
You got a point there

943
00:40:40,762 --> 00:40:41,082
Yeah.

944
00:40:42,582 --> 00:40:43,302
That's funny.

945
00:40:44,562 --> 00:40:49,202
But, uh, guys, I mean, I, I say happy
birthday Valve though, 'cause like,

946
00:40:50,012 --> 00:40:53,752
know, Valve has been one of the most
influential gaming companies for

947
00:40:53,752 --> 00:40:56,142
better or worse for 30 years, right?

948
00:40:56,142 --> 00:41:00,932
Like, Half-Life changed the
industry, um, way stories were

949
00:41:00,932 --> 00:41:02,512
told in games even, right?

950
00:41:03,012 --> 00:41:03,672
And, uh,

951
00:41:04,342 --> 00:41:08,322
There's a lot of inno- yeah, and they
also changed the face of PC gaming

952
00:41:08,322 --> 00:41:14,802
forever, and PC gaming thrived under their
stewardship 'cause, like, let's be honest,

953
00:41:15,572 --> 00:41:17,632
what was PC gaming like before Steam?

954
00:41:17,812 --> 00:41:20,152
Not super-duper popular like it is now.

955
00:41:20,770 --> 00:41:21,170
Right.

956
00:41:21,192 --> 00:41:24,252
while I'm, I'm sure Valve isn't
the only one contributing to its

957
00:41:24,262 --> 00:41:28,762
success, I would say a lot of it
was from Valve's successful Steam

958
00:41:29,976 --> 00:41:34,806
Well, I mean PC… So that's an
interesting question HiTech, because

959
00:41:34,806 --> 00:41:41,426
like PC was actually, uh, like on equal
footing I would say with, uh, with

960
00:41:41,446 --> 00:41:43,436
consoles for quite some time, right?

961
00:41:43,446 --> 00:41:44,776
For maybe 10 years.

962
00:41:45,066 --> 00:41:50,756
But then like right around Steam's
like early dominance on PC,

963
00:41:51,086 --> 00:41:55,376
that's when PC became the, the…

964
00:41:55,396 --> 00:41:57,816
endangered I would say in
terms of gaming, right?

965
00:41:57,826 --> 00:42:02,696
'Cause, uh, most of it, like if
there was a PC release of a game,

966
00:42:02,816 --> 00:42:04,566
it was like garbage, you know?

967
00:42:04,566 --> 00:42:06,646
Like the… I'm thinking
like the original BioShock.

968
00:42:07,096 --> 00:42:08,986
The original BioShock for PC sucked.

969
00:42:08,996 --> 00:42:12,236
I don't know if you guys remember that,
but it was not anywhere near what it

970
00:42:12,256 --> 00:42:14,226
should've been for a game of that stature.

971
00:42:14,606 --> 00:42:19,256
So, uh, and, and a lot of gamers, in-
myself included, were playing on 360

972
00:42:19,256 --> 00:42:22,506
or PlayStation 3, um, at the time.

973
00:42:22,566 --> 00:42:26,366
Um, and it was also 'cause I
was a Linux user at the time,

974
00:42:26,366 --> 00:42:27,476
so I didn't really have Windows.

975
00:42:27,476 --> 00:42:32,336
But like a lot of, I don't know,
a lot of gaming happened on 360.

976
00:42:34,146 --> 00:42:39,146
but yeah, I mean, the openness
of the PC has meant that it

977
00:42:39,146 --> 00:42:40,556
has remained a powerhouse.

978
00:42:42,256 --> 00:42:47,116
and Valve has really done a lot
to improve the ease of access

979
00:42:47,156 --> 00:42:49,616
to gaming on PC, you know?

980
00:42:49,818 --> 00:42:50,638
Oh yeah, man.

981
00:42:50,708 --> 00:42:54,138
I mean, by the… Uh, companies
used to not release on PC at

982
00:42:54,138 --> 00:42:56,998
all, uh, sometimes too, 'cause
they were worried about piracy.

983
00:42:56,998 --> 00:43:00,628
But Valve, I guess, assured
them that piracy was just a

984
00:43:00,628 --> 00:43:02,718
service issue, and guess what?

985
00:43:02,838 --> 00:43:03,248
Guess what?

986
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:06,148
I think they were proven right
even after all these years

987
00:43:07,148 --> 00:43:07,548
Yep.

988
00:43:08,629 --> 00:43:12,539
Yeah, they definitely did help a lot with
all that even though things are moving

989
00:43:12,539 --> 00:43:16,929
back down into, like PlayStation not
doing releases on PC anymore and all.

990
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:23,749
it's still the place where you can
get the most variety and the best

991
00:43:23,759 --> 00:43:26,089
bang for your buck, like hands down.

992
00:43:26,989 --> 00:43:30,999
PC or, uh, PCs might be more expensive
than consoles, but with sales and if

993
00:43:30,999 --> 00:43:34,739
you just time everything right, you'll
save so much more money than you

994
00:43:34,739 --> 00:43:38,429
would with, um, with, uh, a console

995
00:43:39,308 --> 00:43:39,638
Yeah.

996
00:43:40,948 --> 00:43:41,328
Yeah.

997
00:43:42,038 --> 00:43:42,738
Absolutely.

998
00:43:43,968 --> 00:43:53,048
Um, yeah, speaking of money and online
storefronts, US store commission

999
00:43:53,128 --> 00:43:55,518
revenue's down 18% this year.

1000
00:43:55,858 --> 00:43:59,558
And I- correct me if I'm wrong, Hi-Tech,
but this is the first time Apple's,

1001
00:43:59,668 --> 00:44:01,208
uh, App Store revenue has dropped

1002
00:44:01,835 --> 00:44:03,325
In like a decade, yes.

1003
00:44:04,985 --> 00:44:09,005
It's, it's a pretty big deal and a lot
of it likely has to do with the fact

1004
00:44:09,005 --> 00:44:15,715
that, well, game com- I mean, the fact
that, uh, everyone's got regulations.

1005
00:44:15,765 --> 00:44:21,165
Japan and Brazil recently introduced
regulations in regards to sideloading.

1006
00:44:22,285 --> 00:44:26,715
The last major holdout I think is
probably like the US and like, I

1007
00:44:26,715 --> 00:44:27,855
don't know, Australia or something

1008
00:44:28,855 --> 00:44:29,095
Yeah.

1009
00:44:29,105 --> 00:44:33,215
Well, I mean, I think regulations are
good and we need, uh, consumer choice.

1010
00:44:33,495 --> 00:44:34,795
Customer choice, I should say.

1011
00:44:34,825 --> 00:44:35,965
I don't like the word consumer

1012
00:44:37,621 --> 00:44:38,701
True that, true that.

1013
00:44:38,721 --> 00:44:44,221
I mean, truth be told, I mean, you
can see what result- you can see why

1014
00:44:44,221 --> 00:44:49,371
Apple wants to keep their, like, App
Store monopoly because they, like, lose

1015
00:44:49,371 --> 00:44:51,051
out a sig- on a significant amount.

1016
00:44:51,081 --> 00:44:53,391
They don't have that same sort
of loyalty that, like, gamers

1017
00:44:53,391 --> 00:44:54,991
have with, like, Valve, right?

1018
00:44:56,211 --> 00:44:59,591
Like, Valve has, like, a million different
storefronts you can install on Windows

1019
00:44:59,591 --> 00:45:01,731
and Linux, and guess where, guess what?

1020
00:45:01,731 --> 00:45:04,281
They all, they all still buy
all the games on Steam, right?

1021
00:45:04,805 --> 00:45:05,155
Yeah

1022
00:45:05,511 --> 00:45:09,981
But as soon as Apple introduced
third-party app stores, a lot

1023
00:45:09,981 --> 00:45:10,921
of people just jumped ship

1024
00:45:12,663 --> 00:45:12,953
Yeah.

1025
00:45:13,013 --> 00:45:16,913
Oh, I mean, but the thing is too, it's
like according to this article, Apple's

1026
00:45:16,923 --> 00:45:19,693
US commission revenue has fallen 18%.

1027
00:45:19,953 --> 00:45:22,753
So this isn't even like… They
can't even, like, claim with a

1028
00:45:22,753 --> 00:45:27,353
straight face that, uh, this has to
do with EU regulations or whatever

1029
00:45:27,402 --> 00:45:32,822
No, but Epic Games, if you read down
further, Epic Games did, um, win their

1030
00:45:32,822 --> 00:45:38,292
lawsuit, and so I think they're, uh,
like Epic and companies like that

1031
00:45:38,292 --> 00:45:42,092
can now start doing outside payments
again without getting a cut hit

1032
00:45:43,695 --> 00:45:44,025
Good.

1033
00:45:44,398 --> 00:45:45,768
So that's why

1034
00:45:45,865 --> 00:45:49,935
like, Yeah, that's, it's good
that they can do that, you know?

1035
00:45:51,007 --> 00:45:54,147
Yeah, I mean, that's good that App-
that's good that Apple to Epic did

1036
00:45:54,147 --> 00:45:58,597
that 'cause sideloading, God, you know,
there's, we, you know, there's only like

1037
00:45:58,597 --> 00:46:02,177
a few weeks left until Google implements
their stupid sideloading bullshit.

1038
00:46:03,287 --> 00:46:03,937
You guys know that?

1039
00:46:04,340 --> 00:46:04,730
Yeah

1040
00:46:04,933 --> 00:46:05,313
Yeah

1041
00:46:06,707 --> 00:46:10,127
And honestly, if Google like
restricts sideloading to a certain

1042
00:46:10,127 --> 00:46:12,987
degree, then I may as well just
go with an i- with an iPhone.

1043
00:46:12,987 --> 00:46:13,757
I'm gonna be honest with you

1044
00:46:14,755 --> 00:46:16,895
Well, is it still easy
to jailbreak an iPhone?

1045
00:46:17,895 --> 00:46:18,615
Uh-huh.

1046
00:46:18,771 --> 00:46:19,311
guess.

1047
00:46:19,341 --> 00:46:19,681
I don't know.

1048
00:46:19,681 --> 00:46:22,691
As a developer, I could install
pretty much anything I want off the

1049
00:46:22,691 --> 00:46:25,531
side, but it's not quite the same

1050
00:46:26,485 --> 00:46:30,045
Yeah, I mean, truth be told, you can
just sideload applications on that.

1051
00:46:30,105 --> 00:46:33,995
Like, you can already sideload, um,
though it requires a computer with iTunes

1052
00:46:34,995 --> 00:46:36,065
But I don't know, man.

1053
00:46:36,178 --> 00:46:36,818
still a thing?

1054
00:46:37,565 --> 00:46:39,665
I shouldn't s- it is still a thing

1055
00:46:40,163 --> 00:46:41,183
It's disgusting.

1056
00:46:41,253 --> 00:46:44,553
iTunes has not been worked on
heavily in a long time but yeah

1057
00:46:45,623 --> 00:46:48,463
It's still the unoptimized
buggy piece of shit you remember

1058
00:46:48,463 --> 00:46:49,833
from like a few decades ago

1059
00:46:50,279 --> 00:46:50,589
You don't,

1060
00:46:50,603 --> 00:46:51,093
on Windows

1061
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:53,369
think you need iTunes to… I don't know.

1062
00:46:54,271 --> 00:46:54,591
Most…

1063
00:46:54,699 --> 00:46:54,869
'Cause

1064
00:46:55,491 --> 00:46:55,961
Wait, you,

1065
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:58,139
anything I want on my iPhone if I wanted.

1066
00:46:59,391 --> 00:46:59,911
you don't need

1067
00:46:59,979 --> 00:47:00,969
I don't need iTunes.

1068
00:47:01,298 --> 00:47:02,098
for that, right?

1069
00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:08,139
No, I mean, I- To get it on their…
That, that's a whole other thing.

1070
00:47:08,139 --> 00:47:09,719
I don't even think I have to pay for it.

1071
00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:14,569
I can just side load some… I ha- I
side load some of my own, uh, projects

1072
00:47:14,619 --> 00:47:17,179
and play with them, and they're
connected to the internet and everything

1073
00:47:18,179 --> 00:47:18,679
Interesting

1074
00:47:19,326 --> 00:47:19,866
Mm.

1075
00:47:20,546 --> 00:47:24,456
I have to get everything set up to do
that, but I don't need iTunes for it

1076
00:47:25,794 --> 00:47:26,454
Yeah.

1077
00:47:27,594 --> 00:47:28,604
Mm. I

1078
00:47:28,604 --> 00:47:34,684
mean, haven't-- I haven't s- I
haven't, uh, jailbroken an iPhone

1079
00:47:34,724 --> 00:47:36,534
in, like, many, many, many years.

1080
00:47:36,764 --> 00:47:39,294
In fact, I haven't even had an
iPhone in many, many years either.

1081
00:47:40,244 --> 00:47:41,894
In fact, I've never had an iPhone.

1082
00:47:41,954 --> 00:47:46,264
I just did this for my brother 'cause
he wanted to, he wanted to achieve

1083
00:47:46,274 --> 00:47:49,474
some microtransactions in video games,
and that's how we found out the hard

1084
00:47:49,474 --> 00:47:51,474
way that microtransactions aren't fun

1085
00:47:52,474 --> 00:47:52,834
I just

1086
00:47:53,235 --> 00:47:53,775
So,

1087
00:47:54,014 --> 00:47:55,084
never had a reason to m- sideload

1088
00:47:56,084 --> 00:48:00,504
There's, there are no… Oh, there's
a jailbreak for the iPhone 12,

1089
00:48:00,504 --> 00:48:09,634
13, 14 f- or 15 on iOS 17, but not
for, like, iOS 26 or, or iOS 18

1090
00:48:10,510 --> 00:48:12,530
And I'm probably… I, I'm,
I'd be willing to bet they're

1091
00:48:12,530 --> 00:48:13,890
still working on a jailbreak

1092
00:48:14,713 --> 00:48:14,953
Yeah

1093
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,600
for, like, the newer iPhones

1094
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,410
I used to jailbreak a decade plus ago.

1095
00:48:20,540 --> 00:48:23,350
I just don't care these days.

1096
00:48:23,770 --> 00:48:26,050
There's nothing on… Not
saying that people shouldn't

1097
00:48:26,050 --> 00:48:27,630
be allowed to or anything, just

1098
00:48:28,628 --> 00:48:32,958
I mean, jailbreak used to, jailbreaking
used to matter a lot more when they sold

1099
00:48:32,968 --> 00:48:35,188
iPhones before the App Store existed

1100
00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:40,470
Before the App Store existed or before
they added certain functionality because

1101
00:48:40,810 --> 00:48:42,430
Apple's been behind on certain things.

1102
00:48:42,890 --> 00:48:46,630
Now, honestly, we've kinda hit this
precipice where, like, Android and

1103
00:48:46,630 --> 00:48:48,830
iOS just have almost everything

1104
00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:53,900
Yeah, if, for all the youngins in the
audience that didn't know this, they used

1105
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:56,430
to sell iPhones without an app store.

1106
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,770
It just used to be like your
phone, but like touchscreen

1107
00:49:00,973 --> 00:49:01,383
Yeah.

1108
00:49:01,793 --> 00:49:05,923
And that was a better time because
the apps that you could install were

1109
00:49:05,933 --> 00:49:11,413
progressive web apps, and that, like,
that's how we should be doing everything.

1110
00:49:11,453 --> 00:49:12,153
But, uh,

1111
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:12,886
I don't think…

1112
00:49:12,963 --> 00:49:14,993
should also have plugins

1113
00:49:15,106 --> 00:49:17,366
Did they have progressive
web app- web apps?

1114
00:49:17,366 --> 00:49:19,076
'Cause I rememb- I don't
think they had… Did they?

1115
00:49:19,633 --> 00:49:23,433
Yep, if you go back and, and people
were asking Steve Jobs, like,

1116
00:49:23,613 --> 00:49:26,363
cr- uh, journalists were asking
Steve Jobs, "What about apps?"

1117
00:49:26,383 --> 00:49:29,723
And he said, "If you, you can do anything
you need to with a progressive web app."

1118
00:49:31,446 --> 00:49:34,196
I wonder which… Oh, well,
I mean, you can still install

1119
00:49:34,196 --> 00:49:34,976
them today though, right?

1120
00:49:35,437 --> 00:49:35,717
Yeah.

1121
00:49:35,866 --> 00:49:36,096
Yeah

1122
00:49:36,190 --> 00:49:39,230
still install progressive web apps,
but they're, they've never been

1123
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:41,990
amazing, I'll be honest about it,
depending on what you're trying to do.

1124
00:49:42,710 --> 00:49:47,580
They are, but they don't support
enough pr- um, device, uh, and

1125
00:49:47,580 --> 00:49:48,680
systems and stuff like that.

1126
00:49:48,690 --> 00:49:53,510
Like, you're never gonna fully
replace a native app at this point

1127
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,700
and not have security issues.

1128
00:49:55,950 --> 00:49:57,360
But Yeah.

1129
00:49:57,453 --> 00:49:57,833
Yeah.

1130
00:49:57,953 --> 00:50:02,273
The, the other problem though with,
with PWAs is that especially on

1131
00:50:02,273 --> 00:50:06,103
iOS, you're using Safari, which
is the Internet Explorer of 2026.

1132
00:50:06,443 --> 00:50:08,953
Like Safari sucks in

1133
00:50:09,104 --> 00:50:09,914
not great.

1134
00:50:09,924 --> 00:50:13,474
It is not Internet Explorer bad though.

1135
00:50:13,524 --> 00:50:14,584
Oh my gosh

1136
00:50:15,485 --> 00:50:16,545
the reason I say that is

1137
00:50:16,744 --> 00:50:18,414
You've had to, yeah.

1138
00:50:18,655 --> 00:50:19,405
back the web

1139
00:50:19,454 --> 00:50:19,924
Yeah

1140
00:50:20,735 --> 00:50:22,295
that's what Safari is doing

1141
00:50:22,326 --> 00:50:24,136
Safari is doing it right now for sure

1142
00:50:25,065 --> 00:50:28,935
if you wanna use the temporal API in
your app, you have to use Babel or

1143
00:50:28,935 --> 00:50:34,385
some, or some Webpack or something to
compile it for, uh… It's just you

1144
00:50:34,385 --> 00:50:40,495
can't do, uh, like modern API stuff
without using an insane amount of like,

1145
00:50:41,295 --> 00:50:45,755
polyfills or something, and it's, it's
so nuts to me that that's we're at.

1146
00:50:46,725 --> 00:50:47,135
I don't know.

1147
00:50:48,855 --> 00:50:49,285
Safari.

1148
00:50:49,285 --> 00:50:51,055
So I have a lot of opinions
about this 'cause I'm a web

1149
00:50:51,055 --> 00:50:52,395
developer first and foremost.

1150
00:50:52,538 --> 00:50:52,908
yeah.

1151
00:50:52,908 --> 00:50:53,138
No,

1152
00:50:53,138 --> 00:50:53,628
I, I, I,

1153
00:50:53,695 --> 00:50:58,675
ha- literally game I'm working on u-
like needs the temporal API in order

1154
00:50:58,678 --> 00:50:59,048
Yep

1155
00:50:59,965 --> 00:51:04,625
a calendar that isn't 40,000
lines of, you know, craziness.

1156
00:51:05,095 --> 00:51:10,065
Um, and, and so I'm, have to use Babel, I

1157
00:51:10,065 --> 00:51:14,685
think, to, to like transpile this
to like something that, uh, Safari

1158
00:51:14,685 --> 00:51:15,925
will actually be able to use.

1159
00:51:16,224 --> 00:51:19,924
You're gonna have to use a polyfill
or you're probably gonna have to tap

1160
00:51:19,924 --> 00:51:22,314
into WebGL or something like that.

1161
00:51:22,324 --> 00:51:25,724
You're gonna… there's a lot of
different thing, uh, ways around it.

1162
00:51:25,724 --> 00:51:29,094
It's not easy, but
that's kind of my point.

1163
00:51:29,114 --> 00:51:32,974
Once you get into certain things,
like it is better, uh, it's, Chrome

1164
00:51:33,004 --> 00:51:37,354
is better, but even the, uh, Chrome
has its limitations when it comes to

1165
00:51:38,524 --> 00:51:41,194
that are exposed as opposed to native.

1166
00:51:42,794 --> 00:51:43,154
So

1167
00:51:43,193 --> 00:51:43,513
Yep

1168
00:51:43,664 --> 00:51:44,414
I've used to do a

1169
00:51:44,556 --> 00:51:45,076
Yeah

1170
00:51:46,364 --> 00:51:48,804
Uh, I've gone away from them
because of part of that reason.

1171
00:51:48,804 --> 00:51:51,544
That being said, if it's like a news
app, there's a lot of different reasons.

1172
00:51:51,544 --> 00:51:55,504
Like, yeah, I don't think… I
think PWAs are fine Not saying

1173
00:51:55,504 --> 00:51:58,864
that the… Yeah, I indifferent

1174
00:51:58,955 --> 00:52:04,235
the reason that I like PWAs, and I
prefer them for everything that I do,

1175
00:52:04,445 --> 00:52:10,405
is because with a PWA, especially if
you're using a browser on mobile that

1176
00:52:10,405 --> 00:52:16,075
supports both PWAs and extensions,
you have control over your experience,

1177
00:52:16,321 --> 00:52:17,041
Угу

1178
00:52:17,305 --> 00:52:21,255
ad blocks on, and you can do whatever
you want with your experience, which you

1179
00:52:21,295 --> 00:52:24,285
cannot do, uh, without, like, root access.

1180
00:52:24,565 --> 00:52:27,235
Um, and even then, there's,
like, no guarantees.

1181
00:52:27,235 --> 00:52:30,665
You have to, like, wait for other
people to do-- you know, come up with

1182
00:52:31,115 --> 00:52:33,075
hacks or whatever to make an app.

1183
00:52:33,095 --> 00:52:33,265
I-

1184
00:52:33,265 --> 00:52:37,485
I've never even seen that kind of stuff
before, but, like, it's just crazy.

1185
00:52:37,485 --> 00:52:41,445
I- apps are such a, a
bad model, in my opinion.

1186
00:52:41,715 --> 00:52:43,255
Like or bust.

1187
00:52:43,952 --> 00:52:44,422
I,

1188
00:52:44,715 --> 00:52:45,125
I, don't know.

1189
00:52:45,586 --> 00:52:46,186
Hmm

1190
00:52:46,485 --> 00:52:47,305
You disagree?

1191
00:52:47,592 --> 00:52:48,422
I don't know.

1192
00:52:48,422 --> 00:52:53,952
I think getting the, uh, no, it's not
a disagree, it's just I've just had

1193
00:52:53,952 --> 00:52:58,972
such bad ex- um, experiences with PWAs
and, and not having enough support

1194
00:52:58,992 --> 00:53:00,412
for doing what I need to get done.

1195
00:53:01,422 --> 00:53:07,562
And part of it is, yeah,
like on iOS with, uh, Safari.

1196
00:53:08,592 --> 00:53:12,152
Safari Web, when I'm making websites
for Safari Web, it's not like

1197
00:53:12,152 --> 00:53:14,002
the, the, the true Safari browser.

1198
00:53:14,002 --> 00:53:14,482
Like, meh.

1199
00:53:15,842 --> 00:53:16,782
PWAs, man.

1200
00:53:17,142 --> 00:53:21,022
Like apps, i- if you're making
really inter- integrated apps,

1201
00:53:21,022 --> 00:53:23,962
they n- they need more API control.

1202
00:53:24,073 --> 00:53:24,293
Yeah.

1203
00:53:24,293 --> 00:53:29,073
Well, Safari also, like, on
mobile does not allow PWAs to

1204
00:53:29,083 --> 00:53:30,563
receive push notifications,

1205
00:53:30,802 --> 00:53:31,232
Yeah

1206
00:53:31,543 --> 00:53:35,113
like… And, and I don't think you
can even do it with Chrome on iOS.

1207
00:53:35,123 --> 00:53:40,253
Like, if you want push notifications,
you have to have an Android phone,

1208
00:53:40,413 --> 00:53:44,763
um, to get them, which it- that's
an artificial limitation that

1209
00:53:45,043 --> 00:53:48,893
Apple puts there specifically to
push t- people towards, uh, apps.

1210
00:53:49,303 --> 00:53:50,663
Um- and that sucks.

1211
00:53:50,703 --> 00:53:53,213
Like, that kind of stuff is
anti-competitive, and it is,

1212
00:53:53,303 --> 00:53:54,343
it's wrong in my opinion.

1213
00:53:55,003 --> 00:53:55,483
Um,

1214
00:53:56,196 --> 00:53:59,546
curious if web… Well, yeah.

1215
00:54:00,546 --> 00:54:03,966
I'm curious on that one how, of what
the limitations are when it co- if,

1216
00:54:03,966 --> 00:54:07,006
if it can do browser-based p- uh,
notifications, push notifications.

1217
00:54:07,006 --> 00:54:09,196
But that's, we're getting
really into the minutiae stuff.

1218
00:54:10,026 --> 00:54:16,896
It's-- my, my thing is there just,
there has to be… You have to make it

1219
00:54:16,896 --> 00:54:21,216
easy for consumers or, and customers
and people that want, and so there has

1220
00:54:21,216 --> 00:54:22,706
to be like a melding between the two.

1221
00:54:23,726 --> 00:54:26,326
PWAs are not easy for
the, the average person.

1222
00:54:26,326 --> 00:54:29,496
They just don't understand
installing a PWA and using it

1223
00:54:30,633 --> 00:54:34,913
That is a user experience problem
and not the fault of PWAs.

1224
00:54:35,233 --> 00:54:36,783
Like, and I think it's intentional.

1225
00:54:36,816 --> 00:54:40,746
an inher- it's an inherent problem
with, with PWAs, but I, I, I'm

1226
00:54:40,746 --> 00:54:42,126
not gonna disagree, thankfully.

1227
00:54:42,126 --> 00:54:44,346
Like, there's also, that.

1228
00:54:45,257 --> 00:54:45,587
Yeah.

1229
00:54:45,936 --> 00:54:50,646
I just, I've, I've, I, I just cannot…
Like, I've had PWAs with companies where I

1230
00:54:50,646 --> 00:54:52,096
just could not get people to install them.

1231
00:54:52,306 --> 00:54:53,476
They just would not install them.

1232
00:54:53,606 --> 00:54:55,466
Even if we like, "Hey,
you should install this.

1233
00:54:55,476 --> 00:54:56,486
You should…" They didn't.

1234
00:54:56,566 --> 00:54:56,776
No

1235
00:54:57,776 --> 00:54:58,146
Yeah.

1236
00:54:59,206 --> 00:55:00,946
It's, uh, it's annoying.

1237
00:55:01,996 --> 00:55:07,156
But, uh, yeah, speaking of
something that's not annoying, dude,

1238
00:55:09,296 --> 00:55:11,176
now supports trophies

1239
00:55:12,305 --> 00:55:12,946
Hell yeah

1240
00:55:13,904 --> 00:55:14,664
That's awesome.

1241
00:55:15,364 --> 00:55:16,464
That's truly awesome

1242
00:55:17,606 --> 00:55:17,636
Yes.

1243
00:55:17,636 --> 00:55:22,526
So you can sign on to their
RPCN network, which is like

1244
00:55:22,526 --> 00:55:24,276
their, like, PSN replacement,

1245
00:55:24,827 --> 00:55:25,417
Yeah

1246
00:55:25,516 --> 00:55:29,296
can get trophies that way, and
these are the actual, like, official

1247
00:55:29,296 --> 00:55:30,966
trophies that these games came with.

1248
00:55:30,996 --> 00:55:35,866
Um, that's the PS3 didn't get
trophies until after a s- a

1249
00:55:35,866 --> 00:55:38,606
specific update, I think, 'cause
it didn't come with it at launch.

1250
00:55:39,626 --> 00:55:44,326
They saw what Xbox was doing and
was like, "I gotta do it." But yeah.

1251
00:55:45,716 --> 00:55:49,056
Yeah, they saw what Xbox was doing and
they decided to add trophies to it.

1252
00:55:49,176 --> 00:55:49,926
It's pretty cool.

1253
00:55:50,116 --> 00:55:56,356
Uh, but essentially, yeah, you, you
sign on, you sign into RPCN, you

1254
00:55:56,356 --> 00:56:00,336
get trophies, and bam, PS3 trophies

1255
00:56:02,147 --> 00:56:05,537
PlayStation's not gonna be
happy about this or Sony.

1256
00:56:07,227 --> 00:56:09,227
This will be interesting to see what
happens from this, but this is really cool

1257
00:56:10,806 --> 00:56:14,106
Well, it's not like it's going to
your actual PlayStation account.

1258
00:56:14,156 --> 00:56:16,806
It's not like I'm getting
trophies on Demon Souls and

1259
00:56:16,816 --> 00:56:18,326
getting on my own PSN account

1260
00:56:18,749 --> 00:56:22,809
but I'm sure they have a lot of
pri- uh, they ha- they wanna have

1261
00:56:22,849 --> 00:56:24,419
ownership of that whole thing.

1262
00:56:24,679 --> 00:56:26,149
So I'm-- That's what I'm saying.

1263
00:56:26,149 --> 00:56:27,779
I just don't think they're
gonna be happy about this.

1264
00:56:27,789 --> 00:56:29,329
I'm not saying that they're

1265
00:56:30,234 --> 00:56:30,694
Mm-hmm.

1266
00:56:30,704 --> 00:56:31,284
That's true

1267
00:56:31,962 --> 00:56:36,982
RPCN is, uh, uh, AGPL licensed.

1268
00:56:37,782 --> 00:56:38,062
Hell

1269
00:56:38,062 --> 00:56:38,922
yeah.

1270
00:56:38,958 --> 00:56:39,138
that

1271
00:56:39,138 --> 00:56:39,478
mean?

1272
00:56:40,002 --> 00:56:41,852
Uh, it's free and open source

1273
00:56:42,744 --> 00:56:43,234
Oh

1274
00:56:44,234 --> 00:56:46,484
Which you never know
with cloud stuff, right?

1275
00:56:46,514 --> 00:56:50,344
Like, sometimes a open source app
will have, like, proprietary cloud

1276
00:56:50,344 --> 00:56:54,154
shit, and you're like, "Why?" But this
seems … This is, this is really cool.

1277
00:56:55,734 --> 00:56:56,044
Uh

1278
00:56:56,671 --> 00:56:57,441
That is pretty cool.

1279
00:56:57,461 --> 00:56:59,001
That is pretty cool, I will say

1280
00:57:00,001 --> 00:57:00,441
Yep

1281
00:57:00,461 --> 00:57:02,331
will it work on real PS3s though?

1282
00:57:02,571 --> 00:57:03,531
Someone said no

1283
00:57:04,531 --> 00:57:06,531
That's, that, and that's to be expected.

1284
00:57:06,551 --> 00:57:13,321
I mean, this, this gives them control
over, like, how the API, the RPCN API is

1285
00:57:13,321 --> 00:57:17,651
contr- is, uh, exposed to the emulator,
which you don't, you wouldn't have that

1286
00:57:17,661 --> 00:57:23,371
kind of, uh, uh, over on, on, uh, 3

1287
00:57:24,178 --> 00:57:25,328
Yeah, that's fair.

1288
00:57:25,368 --> 00:57:29,168
Yo, this also, um, it sounds… I don't
know if you guys are interested in, like,

1289
00:57:29,198 --> 00:57:33,278
other retro games having achievements, but
there's the whole RetroAchievements thing

1290
00:57:33,338 --> 00:57:35,058
for those that aren't familiar with that.

1291
00:57:35,788 --> 00:57:40,938
They basically supported emulators
now have achievement pop-ups for when

1292
00:57:40,938 --> 00:57:43,658
you achieve certain, uh, criteria.

1293
00:57:44,358 --> 00:57:49,758
I will say a lot of the, like, ones for
older retro games are more for, they're

1294
00:57:49,758 --> 00:57:51,898
more for seasoned players, I will say.

1295
00:57:53,748 --> 00:57:57,458
Not, it's not like achievements on,
like, a new game where like, oh, you

1296
00:57:57,458 --> 00:57:59,538
beat chapter one, you get an achievement.

1297
00:57:59,598 --> 00:58:02,998
It's not, not, not a whole lot of them
are like that on RetroAchievements,

1298
00:58:03,048 --> 00:58:04,088
but they're still pretty cool.

1299
00:58:04,608 --> 00:58:07,008
You can log on to your, you can
log on to it directly through

1300
00:58:07,018 --> 00:58:08,628
RetroArch, and it just works.

1301
00:58:10,518 --> 00:58:10,728
Well

1302
00:58:11,728 --> 00:58:11,988
Yeah.

1303
00:58:12,778 --> 00:58:13,848
I mean, this is cool.

1304
00:58:13,858 --> 00:58:15,948
Like, oh man, this just
makes me happy, dude.

1305
00:58:15,998 --> 00:58:17,998
Like, I… Yeah.

1306
00:58:18,208 --> 00:58:20,948
I mean, the fact that, like,
now, so there's RPCN, right?

1307
00:58:21,288 --> 00:58:25,698
Which gives PS3 emulators
access to network games.

1308
00:58:26,298 --> 00:58:29,068
Uh, uh, there's also, what
is it, Hor- is it Horizon?

1309
00:58:29,088 --> 00:58:34,148
W- what's the, um, Xbox 360, uh,

1310
00:58:34,681 --> 00:58:35,121
Insignia?

1311
00:58:35,648 --> 00:58:38,218
Ins- well, that's the
original Xbox, Insignia?

1312
00:58:38,468 --> 00:58:38,798
That's

1313
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,450
Ah

1314
00:58:39,838 --> 00:58:40,868
another one I was gonna list.

1315
00:58:40,878 --> 00:58:41,828
Insignia is cool.

1316
00:58:41,958 --> 00:58:45,308
But we're having, like, these
re-implementations, right, of, of Xbox

1317
00:58:45,318 --> 00:58:47,528
Live and, uh, PlayStation Network.

1318
00:58:47,658 --> 00:58:52,018
And there's also, um, Loaded or, or
whatever it is where, for the Wii.

1319
00:58:53,018 --> 00:58:53,388
I don't know.

1320
00:58:53,388 --> 00:58:56,088
if it's Wii Loaded, But, it's one
of those, like, where it has, um,

1321
00:58:56,568 --> 00:58:58,918
you know, Wii Connect 24 support.

1322
00:58:59,378 --> 00:59:00,918
That, dude, that's just super cool.

1323
00:59:00,918 --> 00:59:03,128
I don't know, is there
one for the, uh, 3DS?

1324
00:59:03,148 --> 00:59:06,908
'Cause that would be one I would
wanna, uh, to mess around with.

1325
00:59:07,958 --> 00:59:08,218
but

1326
00:59:08,896 --> 00:59:09,286
Um, I don't know.

1327
00:59:09,496 --> 00:59:16,376
But, but it's ve- but this is like some
next level game preservations stuff.

1328
00:59:16,406 --> 00:59:19,146
Like, 'cause this is the type
of stuff that all the game

1329
00:59:19,146 --> 00:59:23,196
corporations would like to have
you believe is not preservable, but

1330
00:59:23,636 --> 00:59:24,036
Right

1331
00:59:24,136 --> 00:59:26,806
managed to do it in a
cave with a box of scraps

1332
00:59:27,804 --> 00:59:28,024
Yeah.

1333
00:59:28,564 --> 00:59:28,964
Yeah.

1334
00:59:30,594 --> 00:59:32,664
Dude, super cool.

1335
00:59:33,654 --> 00:59:34,404
You love to see it

1336
00:59:36,370 --> 00:59:37,540
Oh yeah, that reminds me though.

1337
00:59:37,690 --> 00:59:42,270
You mentioned Mario Kart, uh, Wii,
but I d- wanted to mention that the,

1338
00:59:42,270 --> 00:59:47,240
uh, Wii com- the Wii compiled re- uh,
version of Mario Kart Wii, it's out.

1339
00:59:47,250 --> 00:59:48,540
We talked about that a few months ago.

1340
00:59:49,008 --> 00:59:49,508
Yes.

1341
00:59:49,808 --> 00:59:50,498
That's awesome.

1342
00:59:50,828 --> 00:59:52,598
Can You play it on your Steam Deck?

1343
00:59:53,580 --> 00:59:54,480
Steam Machine?

1344
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:56,430
Uh, let's find out.

1345
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:58,820
Uh, there's a se- setup.exe.

1346
01:00:00,210 --> 01:00:01,100
I mean, probably.

1347
01:00:01,870 --> 01:00:02,990
It says it's Windows

1348
01:00:04,234 --> 01:00:04,614
Yeah.

1349
01:00:05,934 --> 01:00:06,394
Oh, well.

1350
01:00:06,424 --> 01:00:08,724
Well, you know what you can
do with a Steam Deck is you

1351
01:00:08,724 --> 01:00:10,114
can control a Mars rover.

1352
01:00:10,794 --> 01:00:11,724
was, I was trying to segue.

1353
01:00:11,724 --> 01:00:12,994
I, I don't know if that worked, but

1354
01:00:13,964 --> 01:00:14,964
Yeah, it worked pretty well

1355
01:00:16,490 --> 01:00:16,830
Yeah.

1356
01:00:16,870 --> 01:00:17,870
Dude, what's, what's this about?

1357
01:00:17,900 --> 01:00:20,770
I saw this headline and I was like,
"That's pretty neat," but the lag

1358
01:00:20,770 --> 01:00:22,240
would pr- probably be pretty intense

1359
01:00:23,430 --> 01:00:26,100
Well, they didn't test it in Ma- on Mars.

1360
01:00:26,140 --> 01:00:28,790
They tested it, uh, like locally

1361
01:00:30,132 --> 01:00:30,652
Okay.

1362
01:00:30,882 --> 01:00:31,392
All right

1363
01:00:31,538 --> 01:00:34,698
Like, I don't see the re- I don't see
a re- I don't see needing… I don't

1364
01:00:34,698 --> 01:00:37,678
think you would need a Steam Deck
control 'cause, like, it takes, like,

1365
01:00:37,688 --> 01:00:41,258
three business days to, like, reach
fucking Mars, if I'm not mistaken

1366
01:00:41,722 --> 01:00:46,202
Mm, it's, uh, no, it's, it depends
on, like, the, the, uh, distance

1367
01:00:46,222 --> 01:00:49,932
because we don't have the same
orbit, but, uh, it can take up to

1368
01:00:49,962 --> 01:00:52,032
30 minutes, I believe, to reach Mars

1369
01:00:53,562 --> 01:00:54,292
Oh, right

1370
01:00:55,274 --> 01:00:57,564
There's delay.

1371
01:00:57,624 --> 01:00:58,704
I gotta look it up now.

1372
01:00:59,056 --> 01:01:04,416
Oh wait, no, I, wait, I, let's see, three
minutes one way to 40 minutes round trip.

1373
01:01:05,146 --> 01:01:09,256
So yeah, I mean, three
minutes is pretty good.

1374
01:01:09,256 --> 01:01:12,046
I don- I wonder what protocol
they're using to transmit, uh,

1375
01:01:12,066 --> 01:01:14,036
signals all the way to fucking Mars

1376
01:01:14,410 --> 01:01:14,860
Mm-mm.

1377
01:01:15,970 --> 01:01:21,890
They use the deep space, uh, deep
space radio array to do that Yeah

1378
01:01:22,978 --> 01:01:25,788
Yeah, but I mean, the Steam Deck
has still proven to be a very

1379
01:01:25,918 --> 01:01:27,448
versatile piece of equipment.

1380
01:01:27,448 --> 01:01:31,498
They've used it to pilot, uh,
Disney animatronics at Disney World,

1381
01:01:32,196 --> 01:01:32,516
Yeah

1382
01:01:33,018 --> 01:01:35,728
pilot drones and turrets.

1383
01:01:36,638 --> 01:01:37,838
Not submarines, though.

1384
01:01:37,878 --> 01:01:43,748
I, I feel like… But I mean, they've, th-
then now they've got a whole, whole Mars

1385
01:01:43,748 --> 01:01:45,658
rover here, which is also really cool, too

1386
01:01:46,658 --> 01:01:53,078
It's semi-cheap affordable hardware
that you can hack that has Linux and

1387
01:01:53,168 --> 01:01:54,938
you can put pretty much anything on it.

1388
01:01:55,618 --> 01:01:56,998
It's, uh, I

1389
01:01:57,088 --> 01:01:57,348
Well

1390
01:01:57,368 --> 01:01:58,748
just pretty hacker-friendly

1391
01:01:59,408 --> 01:02:02,728
I, I wouldn't know if I'd
say it's affordable anymore

1392
01:02:03,508 --> 01:02:06,028
Compared to specialized
equipment, it is affordable.

1393
01:02:06,456 --> 01:02:06,816
Ja ja.

1394
01:02:07,316 --> 01:02:07,476
Ja

1395
01:02:07,628 --> 01:02:07,988
So

1396
01:02:08,116 --> 01:02:08,636
That is true

1397
01:02:08,728 --> 01:02:11,868
st- have standards around it, make
drivers or whatever it is, libraries

1398
01:02:11,868 --> 01:02:16,328
that you know are gonna function
well across, and you can buy multiple

1399
01:02:16,338 --> 01:02:18,008
for, let's say this or drones,

1400
01:02:20,288 --> 01:02:24,548
it's much better than trying to get
a specialized system or hardware,

1401
01:02:25,524 --> 01:02:26,114
Yeah.

1402
01:02:26,498 --> 01:02:26,798
at least

1403
01:02:27,584 --> 01:02:31,114
It is really, it is really cool what
they're doing with this, uh, 'cause like

1404
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,130
The Steam Deck One's gonna have
a life of its own even after the

1405
01:02:37,130 --> 01:02:39,260
hardware inevitably becomes outdated.

1406
01:02:39,290 --> 01:02:42,800
Some, I mean, some would argue that it's
outdated already, even though I still

1407
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,530
play my Steam Deck fairly regularly

1408
01:02:45,081 --> 01:02:45,401
Yeah,

1409
01:02:45,658 --> 01:02:51,478
It's definitely close to outdated, but
it's not, there's, you know, there's just,

1410
01:02:52,088 --> 01:02:56,118
there's not, it's not like the Legion Go
2 and these other ones are, are nice and

1411
01:02:56,118 --> 01:03:02,438
all, or the ones that are priced similar,
but there's … And, and they do, like

1412
01:03:02,878 --> 01:03:08,858
price to performance they're a better
deal, but it still is not that much w-

1413
01:03:08,998 --> 01:03:11,298
like it's not that much worse I would say.

1414
01:03:11,298 --> 01:03:15,488
Like it's still, it's a, it's a
console-like experience in your hand for

1415
01:03:15,488 --> 01:03:19,248
PC games, so it's better than Windows

1416
01:03:20,248 --> 01:03:20,568
Yeah.

1417
01:03:20,868 --> 01:03:26,098
I-- see, the thing is, with
Steam, like, there's always going

1418
01:03:26,098 --> 01:03:30,068
to be new games coming out that
will be Steam Deck compatible.

1419
01:03:30,108 --> 01:03:32,208
You'll be able to play them
on the Steam Deck, right?

1420
01:03:32,228 --> 01:03:40,218
And so from my opinion, as long as the
Steam client works on the Steam Deck

1421
01:03:40,258 --> 01:03:42,438
hardware, it will never be obsolete.

1422
01:03:42,708 --> 01:03:46,258
You won't be able to play, like,
modern, like, contemporary AAA games,

1423
01:03:46,718 --> 01:03:49,588
um, and you might not be able to play
a lot of them right now on the Steam

1424
01:03:49,588 --> 01:03:53,768
Deck, but it's not obsolete until the
s- the client d- no longer supports

1425
01:03:53,857 --> 01:03:54,347
Yeah.

1426
01:03:54,507 --> 01:03:54,607
I

1427
01:03:54,607 --> 01:03:54,917
mean,

1428
01:03:54,948 --> 01:03:55,488
my opinion

1429
01:03:55,557 --> 01:03:57,427
it- mine's more if it outdated.

1430
01:03:57,697 --> 01:04:00,487
It's, it, there's a difference
between outdated and obsolete.

1431
01:04:00,537 --> 01:04:03,307
I don't think it's gonna be
obsolete for a very long time.

1432
01:04:03,387 --> 01:04:05,367
Outdated, we're already hitting that.

1433
01:04:05,477 --> 01:04:12,237
We are, we, I think we've already been
on there, on that, um, for a year or two.

1434
01:04:12,337 --> 01:04:16,197
Uh, it sh- what, what I'm just saying
is, like, if it wasn't for the RAM crisis

1435
01:04:16,197 --> 01:04:18,627
and all these other things, I think
that's gonna push things off even more.

1436
01:04:18,697 --> 01:04:22,817
I think it would be a good time
for a Steam Deck Two soon, is

1437
01:04:22,817 --> 01:04:24,237
all I'm saying, as a PC gamer.

1438
01:04:24,467 --> 01:04:27,737
And that's just a PC gamer wanting
it more than anything else, 'cause

1439
01:04:27,737 --> 01:04:33,067
I'm used to hardware upgrade
cycles being faster than consoles

1440
01:04:34,067 --> 01:04:34,527
Yeah.

1441
01:04:35,417 --> 01:04:37,257
It's, uh… I don't know.

1442
01:04:37,287 --> 01:04:40,627
It's, I, I… Dude, it's cool to see
the Steam Deck just pop up in random

1443
01:04:40,627 --> 01:04:47,567
places, and I think that does kinda,
um, speak to how, uh, accessible

1444
01:04:47,657 --> 01:04:49,397
and open the platform is, right?

1445
01:04:49,407 --> 01:04:54,217
It's, it's just an x86 computer with,
uh, built-in controls, and that makes

1446
01:04:54,217 --> 01:04:58,827
it, like, re- like, uh, to a lot of

1447
01:04:58,854 --> 01:05:02,364
trackpads, which might also help
a lot with certain things too.

1448
01:05:03,154 --> 01:05:04,784
just, it, it makes it more versatile.

1449
01:05:05,624 --> 01:05:05,854
Yeah

1450
01:05:05,901 --> 01:05:06,281
Yep.

1451
01:05:07,451 --> 01:05:08,081
It's pretty neat

1452
01:05:09,852 --> 01:05:10,152
Yeah.

1453
01:05:10,342 --> 01:05:12,672
I can't wait to see it
being used more and more.

1454
01:05:12,762 --> 01:05:15,312
We're gonna be like, "Oh, looks
like the new shuttles are being

1455
01:05:15,312 --> 01:05:16,892
piloted by the Steam Deck Two."

1456
01:05:18,551 --> 01:05:19,141
Yeah, and it

1457
01:05:19,161 --> 01:05:19,191
And

1458
01:05:19,401 --> 01:05:23,791
too that, like, it has, it has
very standard controls, right?

1459
01:05:23,791 --> 01:05:27,611
Like, you know, that everybody's
familiar with pretty much, right?

1460
01:05:27,611 --> 01:05:33,091
Like, uh, it's why, like, drone,
uh, the US Army uses, uh, Xbox

1461
01:05:33,301 --> 01:05:35,101
360 controllers to control drones.

1462
01:05:35,101 --> 01:05:37,121
You know, it's like everybody
knows how to use that

1463
01:05:38,121 --> 01:05:41,991
Maybe, maybe they'll switch to
Xbox, uh, maybe they'll switch to

1464
01:05:43,541 --> 01:05:44,811
Steam Controllers in the future

1465
01:05:45,351 --> 01:05:45,871
Yeah.

1466
01:05:46,251 --> 01:05:46,491
Yeah.

1467
01:05:47,401 --> 01:05:49,781
Uh, dude

1468
01:05:55,591 --> 01:05:55,861
Yeah.

1469
01:05:55,881 --> 01:06:00,431
Well, uh, I don't know how to segue to
this one, but, uh, quantum computing

1470
01:06:00,431 --> 01:06:05,761
used… A con- quantum computing has
been used in, in a first commercial game.

1471
01:06:06,391 --> 01:06:08,371
Um, what is going on with this?

1472
01:06:09,189 --> 01:06:14,319
So this is a game that's allegedly
being developed making use of quantum

1473
01:06:14,319 --> 01:06:18,149
compu- computing for game assets,
narrative, and procedural systems.

1474
01:06:18,799 --> 01:06:21,649
Um, at least that's what the article says.

1475
01:06:21,879 --> 01:06:26,329
I could not tell you what that
actually translates to, because I

1476
01:06:26,329 --> 01:06:29,359
looked at the game page and it looks
like you can just do this with like

1477
01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:31,479
a, a normal non-quantum computer.

1478
01:06:33,279 --> 01:06:37,939
You gotta go… Yeah, I also linked
the Steam page as well for this game.

1479
01:06:38,939 --> 01:06:41,879
I figured I wanna talk about it 'cause I
have… 'Cause like maybe you guys know

1480
01:06:41,879 --> 01:06:44,709
what's so quantum computery about it

1481
01:06:45,963 --> 01:06:48,983
I think the, the, the part that's
impressive is that they're just able

1482
01:06:48,983 --> 01:06:50,153
to do it with quantum computing.

1483
01:06:50,163 --> 01:06:53,293
So quantum computing and programming
quantum computing's drastically

1484
01:06:53,293 --> 01:06:55,343
different than regular programming.

1485
01:06:55,693 --> 01:06:59,213
So th- I think this is just a
feat of like, see, we're already

1486
01:06:59,213 --> 01:07:02,423
catching up to what some regular
computers can do, which is good.

1487
01:07:02,663 --> 01:07:07,113
But like quantum computing's gonna
probably have a pretty different, use case

1488
01:07:07,113 --> 01:07:09,963
than what we think regular computers have.

1489
01:07:09,963 --> 01:07:12,243
So people don't understand
the difference between quantum

1490
01:07:12,243 --> 01:07:13,503
computing and regular computing.

1491
01:07:13,543 --> 01:07:15,983
And so this is just a cool first step.

1492
01:07:15,983 --> 01:07:18,833
I think this is more of a
showcase to see that like it can

1493
01:07:18,843 --> 01:07:20,663
do what normal computers can do

1494
01:07:21,663 --> 01:07:24,393
Yeah, I mean, so my understanding
is, like, quantum computing

1495
01:07:24,403 --> 01:07:26,993
is all about probability.

1496
01:07:27,233 --> 01:07:32,463
Uh, and, like, uh, quantum
computers can't do like, anything

1497
01:07:32,463 --> 01:07:34,393
like what normal computers can do

1498
01:07:34,443 --> 01:07:35,243
and vice versa.

1499
01:07:35,243 --> 01:07:38,383
Normal computers can't do anything
like what quantum computers can do.

1500
01:07:38,873 --> 01:07:44,893
Um, uh, the, or at least they're optimized
for many, for much different tasks,

1501
01:07:45,130 --> 01:07:47,570
It's, uh, well, one, it's, it's
optimized that way, and also two,

1502
01:07:48,650 --> 01:07:54,720
we have decades of libraries of
systems built on top of what our, um,

1503
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,690
computers can do, regular computers.

1504
01:07:57,020 --> 01:07:58,170
Quantum, you're not wrong.

1505
01:07:58,170 --> 01:08:03,220
Like, uh, uh, probability, it, it,
it can crunch probability and, um,

1506
01:08:03,410 --> 01:08:08,250
computational stuff really heavily, but
it's gotta be programmed in such a way

1507
01:08:09,311 --> 01:08:09,601
Yeah.

1508
01:08:09,886 --> 01:08:12,016
So, uh, pull up the game page, Gardner.

1509
01:08:12,066 --> 01:08:13,446
Um, you should have that open, right?

1510
01:08:13,601 --> 01:08:15,931
I was, I was looking at it,
but I didn't switch tabs.

1511
01:08:15,931 --> 01:08:16,271
Sorry.

1512
01:08:16,990 --> 01:08:17,440
All good.

1513
01:08:17,440 --> 01:08:23,260
So if you go, like, but so it, like you
said, I, I mean, yeah, it seems like maybe

1514
01:08:23,270 --> 01:08:26,730
they just did it 'cause they could, but
then the big question now is, uh, why?

1515
01:08:27,710 --> 01:08:31,870
Why a quantum computer and not
just, like, a computer computer?

1516
01:08:32,584 --> 01:08:33,054
Because

1517
01:08:33,054 --> 01:08:33,254
it's

1518
01:08:33,704 --> 01:08:34,164
cool

1519
01:08:35,209 --> 01:08:35,579
yeah.

1520
01:08:35,619 --> 01:08:38,449
Their Steam page doesn't even
mention the, have, have a reference

1521
01:08:38,449 --> 01:08:39,669
to the word Quantum on it.

1522
01:08:40,679 --> 01:08:41,049
Um-

1523
01:08:41,630 --> 01:08:42,410
That is true.

1524
01:08:42,550 --> 01:08:43,210
That is true.

1525
01:08:44,370 --> 01:08:48,620
The, it says that Me Tail has
worked with experts from IBM Quantum

1526
01:08:48,620 --> 01:08:51,880
Computing, so they're working
with IBM to get this shit done

1527
01:08:53,023 --> 01:08:53,483
Mm-hmm.

1528
01:08:55,052 --> 01:08:55,072
Yeah.

1529
01:08:55,172 --> 01:08:59,082
IBM's one of the big ones I mean,
it, no, it, it's just, it, it's fine.

1530
01:08:59,122 --> 01:08:59,802
I think it's cool.

1531
01:08:59,832 --> 01:09:02,722
I think, honestly, I kinda miss this
type of stuff of being like, "Look,

1532
01:09:02,722 --> 01:09:06,352
this is done this way even though we
don't have to do it this way." Um,

1533
01:09:06,352 --> 01:09:10,182
it's just showcasing that quantum
computing can potentially do more,

1534
01:09:10,232 --> 01:09:12,392
maybe be a part of this type of thing.

1535
01:09:12,412 --> 01:09:15,742
I think they're also having a hard
time applying quantum computing to

1536
01:09:17,042 --> 01:09:22,032
more than just a few, um, applications,
and so maybe this is something that

1537
01:09:22,032 --> 01:09:23,772
they're trying to do to, to promote it.

1538
01:09:23,892 --> 01:09:24,872
I think it's a good thing, though

1539
01:09:25,949 --> 01:09:26,379
My

1540
01:09:26,379 --> 01:09:27,449
understanding of

1541
01:09:27,449 --> 01:09:30,709
quantum computing is like quantum
computing is good for like

1542
01:09:31,059 --> 01:09:34,979
cracking, uh, you know, encryption.

1543
01:09:35,309 --> 01:09:41,049
Um, quantum computing probably would
be good for, uh, uh, like executing

1544
01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:42,839
machine learning models, right?

1545
01:09:42,879 --> 01:09:45,379
Like, you'd have… They might have
to adapt them a little bit, but

1546
01:09:45,379 --> 01:09:51,869
like the, it's a, it's a completely
probabilistic, uh, outcome for, for,

1547
01:09:52,179 --> 01:09:57,089
uh, AI versus like a deterministic
outcome for most other computing.

1548
01:09:57,569 --> 01:09:57,919
So,

1549
01:09:57,949 --> 01:10:04,349
I feel like that they're trying to push
quantum to like reduce overhead for AI.

1550
01:10:04,409 --> 01:10:07,879
I would imagine that's probably
what, what's going on here.

1551
01:10:09,186 --> 01:10:12,036
uh, there's, there's no AI
disclosure mentioned, so I don't

1552
01:10:12,036 --> 01:10:16,136
know for certain if this is being
used to, like, run AI, but I know-

1553
01:10:17,194 --> 01:10:22,544
Well, it could be for AI in games,
what we think of, not generative

1554
01:10:23,971 --> 01:10:28,641
Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm
thinking more like, um, like,

1555
01:10:28,716 --> 01:10:30,766
you meant like more simulation aspects

1556
01:10:31,141 --> 01:10:36,271
Well, IBM's trying to, like, push
quantum computing forward so that

1557
01:10:36,271 --> 01:10:39,921
they have something to sell to
machine learning companies, right?

1558
01:10:39,971 --> 01:10:42,241
That, I think that might
be what's going on here too

1559
01:10:43,241 --> 01:10:43,761
For sure.

1560
01:10:45,231 --> 01:10:48,201
I… It'll be interesting to
see how this all plays out.

1561
01:10:48,231 --> 01:10:51,901
I, I like that they're doing this,
and I, I, I, I don't think it's…

1562
01:10:52,661 --> 01:10:55,641
But then again, you know, what will
quantum com- quantum computing's

1563
01:10:55,671 --> 01:11:01,221
gonna… That will potentially break
the, uh, break things more than

1564
01:11:01,251 --> 01:11:03,251
AI will in the sense of security.

1565
01:11:04,041 --> 01:11:07,961
security-wise, quantum computing is
just, once it becomes standardized,

1566
01:11:08,041 --> 01:11:11,481
it's a whole other fricking mess

1567
01:11:12,617 --> 01:11:12,967
Yeah.

1568
01:11:13,587 --> 01:11:17,297
I mean, we do have algor- like
encryption algorithms that are

1569
01:11:17,297 --> 01:11:19,827
resistant to quantum cracking.

1570
01:11:21,247 --> 01:11:24,667
I mean, theoretically anyway, but
we, like you said, we haven't even

1571
01:11:24,667 --> 01:11:27,917
standardized, uh, quantum computing

1572
01:11:27,965 --> 01:11:28,645
Yeah

1573
01:11:28,997 --> 01:11:29,957
they might not be

1574
01:11:31,057 --> 01:11:32,347
They, the, no, you're not wrong.

1575
01:11:32,357 --> 01:11:35,977
Like, we've, we've, we're preparing for
it and all that, but, like, if, if you

1576
01:11:35,977 --> 01:11:40,437
get a strong enough quantum computer,
can break about anything, depending

1577
01:11:40,437 --> 01:11:42,907
on how you set it up, of course.

1578
01:11:42,927 --> 01:11:45,287
Like, it depends on w- it,
it really depends on what the

1579
01:11:45,287 --> 01:11:46,427
system is that you're breaking.

1580
01:11:47,369 --> 01:11:51,179
Yeah.

1581
01:11:51,527 --> 01:11:52,457
yeah, no, this is cool.

1582
01:11:52,457 --> 01:11:56,437
I w- I'd like to see more and more
systems try to use quantum computing,

1583
01:11:56,437 --> 01:12:01,137
even if it's not the most optimal way,
just to try to find ways to use it and

1584
01:12:01,137 --> 01:12:05,317
see if we have different applications,
um, for it, and see what the outcomes

1585
01:12:05,317 --> 01:12:06,967
come out to be in the few years.

1586
01:12:08,105 --> 01:12:08,365
Yeah

1587
01:12:08,847 --> 01:12:09,597
It's expensive

1588
01:12:10,279 --> 01:12:14,539
Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm not very
imaginative, so I couldn't imagine what

1589
01:12:14,539 --> 01:12:16,399
quantum computing could do for gaming.

1590
01:12:16,549 --> 01:12:21,399
Like, especially not for a game like this
where it appears to be, like, kind of

1591
01:12:21,399 --> 01:12:25,199
looks like a, like a TRPG almost, if you
look at the, like, gameplay screenshots.

1592
01:12:25,269 --> 01:12:28,699
But I wonder what they would do
for more advanced video games.

1593
01:12:28,699 --> 01:12:32,909
I wonder if there's something they
could do that, like, regular computers

1594
01:12:32,949 --> 01:12:35,589
couldn't do for, like, I don't know,
like an online game or something.

1595
01:12:35,989 --> 01:12:39,059
I don't see, I don't see houses
getting quantum computers anytime soon

1596
01:12:40,059 --> 01:12:40,489
Yeah.

1597
01:12:41,119 --> 01:12:41,229
I

1598
01:12:41,356 --> 01:12:42,506
No, it's gonna be on,

1599
01:12:42,549 --> 01:12:42,949
like…

1600
01:12:43,046 --> 01:12:44,016
be at… Yeah.

1601
01:12:44,759 --> 01:12:45,179
Go ahead

1602
01:12:46,126 --> 01:12:46,366
No.

1603
01:12:46,716 --> 01:12:47,336
No, go ahead

1604
01:12:48,153 --> 01:12:50,743
was just gonna say, I don't think
that there is, like, a wide,

1605
01:12:52,833 --> 01:12:58,583
um, market, like, reason for people, like
regular people to have a quantum computer.

1606
01:12:58,583 --> 01:13:05,833
Like, the, the use case is so specific
to, like, military, applications, like

1607
01:13:05,833 --> 01:13:10,363
cracking the, uh, you know, passwords
and stuff, or encryption in general.

1608
01:13:11,793 --> 01:13:15,933
most people are not gonna have a use
case for that, at least until they figure

1609
01:13:15,933 --> 01:13:21,843
out how to run machine learning models
with, you know, a quantum computer.

1610
01:13:22,233 --> 01:13:26,783
And even then, A- OpenAI and
Anthropic keep that for themselves.

1611
01:13:26,783 --> 01:13:29,413
You know, they wouldn't wanna
have that distributed to anyone

1612
01:13:30,393 --> 01:13:34,293
Maybe Hideo Kojima has an
idea for quantum computers.

1613
01:13:34,447 --> 01:13:34,827
with him.

1614
01:13:37,358 --> 01:13:41,098
I don't think quantum computers are
gonna be standardized anytime soon.

1615
01:13:41,098 --> 01:13:41,738
I think it just--

1616
01:13:42,137 --> 01:13:42,227
No

1617
01:13:42,658 --> 01:13:48,938
That's a-- It, it's g- it's gonna be
server or business-based or military

1618
01:13:49,048 --> 01:13:54,038
government-based systems for a long time,
and it just might be-- remain that way.

1619
01:13:54,861 --> 01:13:56,071
Cloud quantum computing

1620
01:13:57,128 --> 01:13:59,188
Yeah, potentially where you
can rent it out a little bit.

1621
01:13:59,188 --> 01:14:05,228
It's gonna be super expensive, um,
until they can, um… There's a couple

1622
01:14:05,228 --> 01:14:06,758
of hurdles they have to get over.

1623
01:14:06,758 --> 01:14:13,928
It's just not-- You can't… It, it--
Think of it as rediscovering the, the

1624
01:14:14,168 --> 01:14:20,498
whole com- um, just… The, the dawn
of computers used to be take up a whole

1625
01:14:20,528 --> 01:14:22,868
room or multiple rooms or a house, right?

1626
01:14:23,778 --> 01:14:25,688
That's what this is
kind of like right now.

1627
01:14:27,408 --> 01:14:31,168
There's just no practicality to a
regular person having one unless,

1628
01:14:31,188 --> 01:14:39,258
you know, you're really in security
and you can program it or pay for

1629
01:14:39,258 --> 01:14:41,498
programming to have the security with it

1630
01:14:43,009 --> 01:14:43,309
Mm-hmm.

1631
01:14:43,759 --> 01:14:45,479
Yeah Yeah.

1632
01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:49,700
Some people can correct us if we're
wrong in the comments, of course.

1633
01:14:49,700 --> 01:14:50,820
Like, this is interesting.

1634
01:14:51,669 --> 01:14:52,059
Yeah

1635
01:14:52,150 --> 01:14:54,520
there's probably a lot more use
cases, a lot more of that, but

1636
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:55,700
that's just what I've followed.

1637
01:14:55,700 --> 01:14:59,630
This is kinda what it is, and I agree
with Gardner, like, uh, predictive

1638
01:15:01,020 --> 01:15:02,560
or pro- probability, that is.

1639
01:15:03,930 --> 01:15:04,350
So

1640
01:15:04,621 --> 01:15:08,041
it's, uh, it's, it's kinda…
I mean, I don't know.

1641
01:15:08,441 --> 01:15:11,841
I'm not, like, super versed in
it, but that's my take anyway.

1642
01:15:11,841 --> 01:15:13,691
So yeah, let us know in the
comments if we're wrong.

1643
01:15:14,471 --> 01:15:15,961
Um, or right.

1644
01:15:16,051 --> 01:15:16,741
We could be right.

1645
01:15:16,751 --> 01:15:17,421
Who the hell knows?

1646
01:15:17,756 --> 01:15:18,286
Or,

1647
01:15:18,291 --> 01:15:18,581
I know

1648
01:15:18,646 --> 01:15:23,196
better yet, what more you can do with it
or what they're probably doing with it.

1649
01:15:23,236 --> 01:15:24,736
I think that'd be… I wanna learn.

1650
01:15:25,611 --> 01:15:26,111
Yes,

1651
01:15:26,336 --> 01:15:27,046
If you're gonna tell me I'm

1652
01:15:27,081 --> 01:15:27,201
Yes.

1653
01:15:27,346 --> 01:15:28,376
at least tell me why.

1654
01:15:29,131 --> 01:15:32,541
Please, someone from IBM tell
us what, tell us what quantum

1655
01:15:32,571 --> 01:15:34,231
computing can do for video games

1656
01:15:34,876 --> 01:15:35,116
Oh yeah.

1657
01:15:36,696 --> 01:15:38,646
Next episode's sponsored by IBM.

1658
01:15:39,316 --> 01:15:39,476
No

1659
01:15:39,735 --> 01:15:44,125
Maybe, maybe quantum computing can
help solve the problem of tariffs.

1660
01:15:45,651 --> 01:15:48,091
Oh, no, not the tariffs

1661
01:15:48,803 --> 01:15:49,063
yeah.

1662
01:15:49,063 --> 01:15:53,533
We usually save the, the more political
stuff for the bonus show, but, uh, we,

1663
01:15:53,533 --> 01:15:55,333
uh, we wanted to talk about this today.

1664
01:15:55,873 --> 01:15:57,913
Uh, Hi-Tech, tell, tell
us what's happening here

1665
01:15:58,707 --> 01:16:02,337
El Presidente is threatening another
tariff, but this time for video

1666
01:16:02,337 --> 01:16:05,487
game hardware That's the story

1667
01:16:05,900 --> 01:16:10,940
I… Is it because gamers need to get back
to work and stop enjoying their lives?

1668
01:16:10,940 --> 01:16:14,810
Like, they're not wor- you know, already
working 50 hours a week isn't enough

1669
01:16:16,413 --> 01:16:16,773
Yeah.

1670
01:16:16,903 --> 01:16:17,843
That's probably it.

1671
01:16:18,883 --> 01:16:22,803
they just want, uh, an excuse for,
uh, uh, for, you know, Nintendo to

1672
01:16:22,803 --> 01:16:26,563
not return tariffs a- and just use
that to keep it as profit, you know?

1673
01:16:26,981 --> 01:16:29,101
Just in time for GTA VI.

1674
01:16:30,981 --> 01:16:31,481
Now

1675
01:16:32,956 --> 01:16:34,546
Oh, w- that's right, we
haven't even talked about that.

1676
01:16:34,606 --> 01:16:35,896
We should talk about that after this.

1677
01:16:35,896 --> 01:16:39,946
But tariffs, man, they're gonna
get wor- they're not even … Oh,

1678
01:16:39,966 --> 01:16:43,096
I thought that it was struck down,
that they're not even legal anymore,

1679
01:16:43,106 --> 01:16:44,226
like, to do these types of tariffs.

1680
01:16:44,226 --> 01:16:46,046
They have to run through Congress, but

1681
01:16:46,747 --> 01:16:49,047
You think that's ever
stopped El Presidente before?

1682
01:16:49,830 --> 01:16:50,370
That's not…

1683
01:16:50,390 --> 01:16:52,960
I know, but that's not how
the balances of power work.

1684
01:16:52,990 --> 01:16:55,960
This is, like, so unpre- like,
so unprecedented and it's odd.

1685
01:16:56,340 --> 01:16:57,170
It's so stupid.

1686
01:16:57,495 --> 01:16:57,715
Yeah.

1687
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,110
This is not how it works, guys.

1688
01:17:01,455 --> 01:17:01,805
Nope,

1689
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:02,220
well

1690
01:17:03,455 --> 01:17:05,385
It's not, but yet here we are.

1691
01:17:06,295 --> 01:17:06,695
We live in a society

1692
01:17:06,794 --> 01:17:08,914
know what… How are
people affording anything?

1693
01:17:08,924 --> 01:17:12,314
Like, this real- honestly, these tariffs
really do hurt channels like, uh,

1694
01:17:12,344 --> 01:17:17,384
YouTube channels like ours and stuff,
and it really does not help anyone.

1695
01:17:17,514 --> 01:17:21,164
'Cause w- like w- do you
guys plan to spend less on

1696
01:17:21,164 --> 01:17:22,314
hardware in the next few years?

1697
01:17:22,334 --> 01:17:25,074
I do, though I just spent a ton of money.

1698
01:17:25,074 --> 01:17:27,024
I did it preemptively
because it's just g- it

1699
01:17:27,097 --> 01:17:27,477
This will be the…

1700
01:17:27,584 --> 01:17:28,234
go up.

1701
01:17:28,717 --> 01:17:31,857
Dude, imagine if the Steam
Machine goes up in price.

1702
01:17:31,857 --> 01:17:36,117
You know how horrible that would be and
how fortunate we'd be to have gotten ours?

1703
01:17:36,622 --> 01:17:39,712
I agree, but it's at least a standard,
meaning, like, even if it goes up to

1704
01:17:39,712 --> 01:17:43,982
$1,500, yeah, that sucks, but that
$1,500 will last you a long time.

1705
01:17:44,667 --> 01:17:48,067
I mean, it's already the stan- it's
already the standard right now, and people

1706
01:17:48,067 --> 01:17:53,887
are still pissed off even though, like, a
similarly specced PC costs a similar price

1707
01:17:55,558 --> 01:17:55,828
Yeah.

1708
01:17:56,318 --> 01:17:57,618
No, you're, you're not wrong.

1709
01:17:58,218 --> 01:18:00,748
I, uh, y- and, and it's
good to be pissed off.

1710
01:18:00,748 --> 01:18:04,348
I just sometimes, like when they first
came out, people were like, "Well, this

1711
01:18:04,368 --> 01:18:07,908
is…" You know, even I was a little,
"Wow, man, they're r- maybe overcharging

1712
01:18:07,908 --> 01:18:12,548
us." And I, I think they could subsidize
if they wanted to, but I don't… I,

1713
01:18:12,618 --> 01:18:14,378
uh, that's a whole other argument.

1714
01:18:14,918 --> 01:18:18,738
At the end of the day, people
need to get mad and start voting,

1715
01:18:18,878 --> 01:18:23,428
and I know that's more for the,
the Patreon episode, but, like, I

1716
01:18:23,458 --> 01:18:24,788
don't think it's wrong to say vote.

1717
01:18:24,888 --> 01:18:30,098
If you don't like getting charged so
much more, artificially by the way,

1718
01:18:30,717 --> 01:18:30,987
Yeah.

1719
01:18:31,138 --> 01:18:33,678
artificially, like for
everything in your life

1720
01:18:34,437 --> 01:18:34,807
Yeah

1721
01:18:35,417 --> 01:18:39,607
It's generous, James, to say being
charged more because we- everybody

1722
01:18:39,607 --> 01:18:44,437
is being screwed right now, not
just by these big companies, but

1723
01:18:44,447 --> 01:18:46,967
by the federal government of the

1724
01:18:47,206 --> 01:18:48,016
Yeah

1725
01:18:48,387 --> 01:18:51,317
And not even Americans,
it's everyone, right?

1726
01:18:51,407 --> 01:18:51,597
Like,

1727
01:18:51,678 --> 01:18:53,298
in the world, and

1728
01:18:53,387 --> 01:18:53,687
Yeah

1729
01:18:53,808 --> 01:18:56,078
honestly, it's, it's
affecting prices everywhere.

1730
01:18:56,088 --> 01:18:59,778
Like, and these are ta- like
especially tariffs are taxes.

1731
01:18:59,778 --> 01:19:03,258
If you don't like taxes, and needless
taxes, where are these taxes going to?

1732
01:19:03,648 --> 01:19:06,648
They've been getting rebated, so this
will probably get rebated back, like,

1733
01:19:06,968 --> 01:19:10,528
or returned back to the big- the
companies, they'll just earn a profit.

1734
01:19:11,325 --> 01:19:11,645
Yes.

1735
01:19:11,898 --> 01:19:12,728
So

1736
01:19:12,775 --> 01:19:13,585
one who's paying them.

1737
01:19:13,868 --> 01:19:18,578
you're paying a tax to game
companies now, which is crazy.

1738
01:19:18,578 --> 01:19:23,348
They're not a government, but they could
just up prices I guess if they wanted to.

1739
01:19:24,027 --> 01:19:24,687
This sucks

1740
01:19:25,565 --> 01:19:25,915
Yeah

1741
01:19:26,078 --> 01:19:26,668
it does suck.

1742
01:19:27,548 --> 01:19:31,258
It does suck, and I
think, I, I don't know.

1743
01:19:31,268 --> 01:19:35,768
Like I'm, I'm… At least games aren't
being ta- uh, are be- aren't being

1744
01:19:37,358 --> 01:19:44,198
tariffed, uh, much if at all n- right now,
so like pre- uh, the way… Technologies,

1745
01:19:44,278 --> 01:19:49,098
and I don't wanna say this, like DLSS
5 and stuff like might make your s- uh,

1746
01:19:49,108 --> 01:19:54,198
systems last longer is nice in that form
or fashion if it's low enough effort.

1747
01:19:54,208 --> 01:19:56,228
Like, not the high-end version of DLSS.

1748
01:19:56,468 --> 01:19:59,728
I, I should just be more like FSR
than DLSS is becoming nicer and nicer

1749
01:19:59,728 --> 01:20:03,388
to where like I can hold onto my
hardware longer, let it, things still

1750
01:20:03,388 --> 01:20:05,978
look somewhat decent, and then games.

1751
01:20:05,978 --> 01:20:09,848
Let's get back to optimizing games
and let's just kinda… I don't know

1752
01:20:09,848 --> 01:20:12,278
if we're ever gonna be able to screw
these companies, say, "Hey, we're not

1753
01:20:12,278 --> 01:20:15,898
gonna buy from you for a long time."
I think the only way you're gonna get

1754
01:20:15,908 --> 01:20:18,798
that is if you have competition to
say, "Hey, I'll only buy from that

1755
01:20:18,808 --> 01:20:21,908
new competitor screw the old one."

1756
01:20:21,958 --> 01:20:25,768
I think that's the only way we're gonna
get out of this, and that's regulations,

1757
01:20:25,788 --> 01:20:26,978
and that's not gonna come for a few years.

1758
01:20:26,978 --> 01:20:27,948
So let's weather it.

1759
01:20:29,008 --> 01:20:29,998
That's my take on this.

1760
01:20:29,998 --> 01:20:30,958
Let's just weather this.

1761
01:20:31,848 --> 01:20:32,328
right.

1762
01:20:33,118 --> 01:20:37,118
If, and honestly, if you vote right this
next, uh, at the, in this midterm which,

1763
01:20:38,028 --> 01:20:43,038
um, i- just vote for the, the candidates
that are going to lower your costs.

1764
01:20:43,038 --> 01:20:43,778
That's all you need to do.

1765
01:20:43,778 --> 01:20:45,648
I'm not gonna say vote
for one side or the other.

1766
01:20:45,698 --> 01:20:48,958
Vote for the candidate that's gonna
lower your costs, and if you get enough

1767
01:20:48,958 --> 01:20:51,958
people in there, it's, it's over I think.

1768
01:20:53,373 --> 01:20:53,653
Yeah

1769
01:20:54,548 --> 01:20:58,558
can then enact what they're supposed to
do and that's block these, 'cause that's

1770
01:20:58,558 --> 01:21:00,148
who's really supposed to be handling this.

1771
01:21:01,148 --> 01:21:04,318
Yeah, I don't think I have much more
to say on this top, truth be told.

1772
01:21:04,318 --> 01:21:08,878
I mean, the, what, what, what more can
we, what more can we say that hasn't

1773
01:21:08,878 --> 01:21:12,618
already been said by multiple people,
including us at multiple different points

1774
01:21:12,618 --> 01:21:15,318
in time back when we did have a tariff?

1775
01:21:16,138 --> 01:21:22,548
But if I recall correctly, last year
we had the tariff, no Rampocalypse.

1776
01:21:23,258 --> 01:21:30,298
Now we have a tariff and a Rampocalypse,
and the war that's still waging on.

1777
01:21:32,198 --> 01:21:32,368
Like,

1778
01:21:32,378 --> 01:21:33,398
that's, that's still happening, right?

1779
01:21:33,398 --> 01:21:33,638
I have-

1780
01:21:34,002 --> 01:21:34,442
by the way.

1781
01:21:34,472 --> 01:21:35,122
These are like,

1782
01:21:35,317 --> 01:21:35,757
Yeah

1783
01:21:35,792 --> 01:21:37,782
of the tariffs might have
looked like they've gone away.

1784
01:21:37,832 --> 01:21:39,902
I don't know if they've
ever fully gone away.

1785
01:21:39,972 --> 01:21:40,322
I don't

1786
01:21:41,854 --> 01:21:45,834
Well, I mean, they may have gone away
for the corporations, but we certainly

1787
01:21:45,854 --> 01:21:47,604
will never see any of those savings

1788
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,870
I never saw anything drop in price

1789
01:21:51,124 --> 01:21:51,654
Yeah

1790
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:52,750
because of the tariffs

1791
01:21:53,731 --> 01:21:55,981
uh, didn't… Wasn't it
Playdate or somebody?

1792
01:21:56,011 --> 01:21:59,741
One of some co- gaming company
actually got the, a tariff refund

1793
01:21:59,751 --> 01:22:03,641
and then sent rebates back to their
customers who paid the tariffs

1794
01:22:03,641 --> 01:22:04,461
Did you hear about that?

1795
01:22:05,276 --> 01:22:05,986
I did hear about that.

1796
01:22:05,986 --> 01:22:10,176
Playdate, uh, the guys that make
like the hand-crank, uh, handheld

1797
01:22:10,708 --> 01:22:11,638
interesting

1798
01:22:12,765 --> 01:22:13,325
So

1799
01:22:13,584 --> 01:22:14,804
I did see that

1800
01:22:15,155 --> 01:22:18,155
Yeah, so Playdate, we've begun
to receive refunds on the

1801
01:22:18,155 --> 01:22:19,985
tariffs we paid in last year.

1802
01:22:20,005 --> 01:22:23,535
On August 20- on August 25th,
2026, we refunded all tariffs

1803
01:22:23,535 --> 01:22:25,205
charged to, to our customers.

1804
01:22:26,095 --> 01:22:27,805
That is how it's done,

1805
01:22:27,966 --> 01:22:29,386
That's good publicity.

1806
01:22:29,776 --> 01:22:30,426
That's good PR.

1807
01:22:32,215 --> 01:22:34,165
Dude, absolutely.

1808
01:22:34,398 --> 01:22:34,718
That's

1809
01:22:34,755 --> 01:22:34,945
you know,

1810
01:22:35,058 --> 01:22:35,748
awesome

1811
01:22:36,585 --> 01:22:36,955
Yeah.

1812
01:22:37,565 --> 01:22:38,555
You love to see it.

1813
01:22:39,518 --> 01:22:40,218
It's rare.

1814
01:22:40,258 --> 01:22:41,278
It's, it's, this is sad.

1815
01:22:41,278 --> 01:22:42,188
It's so rare

1816
01:22:42,525 --> 01:22:43,415
Man, I like that

1817
01:22:44,415 --> 01:22:45,755
I want a chicken on a play date

1818
01:22:46,755 --> 01:22:47,245
Yeah.

1819
01:22:49,055 --> 01:22:52,955
I, I do wanna try one out, but…
Tariffs were stopping until now?

1820
01:22:52,995 --> 01:22:56,115
Uh, no, I'm curious how much the
tariff tax on top of this was.

1821
01:22:57,255 --> 01:22:59,925
'Cause obviously they weren't as
high as what Trump wanted them to

1822
01:22:59,925 --> 01:23:02,615
be, 'cause he was, like, Trump and
his administration were saying, like,

1823
01:23:02,615 --> 01:23:06,915
certain percentages, but they weren't
that high, um, at the end of the day.

1824
01:23:06,915 --> 01:23:09,245
They were still high, they just
weren't as high as they were saying.

1825
01:23:09,635 --> 01:23:10,695
But I'm curious

1826
01:23:11,695 --> 01:23:12,035
Yeah.

1827
01:23:12,782 --> 01:23:14,202
This is also depressing.

1828
01:23:14,232 --> 01:23:15,142
I, I don't know what

1829
01:23:15,208 --> 01:23:17,818
it, it, it is very depressing.

1830
01:23:17,818 --> 01:23:21,268
Can we talk about Grand Theft Auto, which
is not depressing, or have we talked

1831
01:23:21,278 --> 01:23:22,508
about that already and I missed that?

1832
01:23:23,278 --> 01:23:23,648
I zoned

1833
01:23:23,702 --> 01:23:23,862
we

1834
01:23:23,862 --> 01:23:26,782
talked a, we talked a bit
about it in the beginning.

1835
01:23:26,782 --> 01:23:31,732
We talked about how, I mean,
the actual, like, combat kinda

1836
01:23:31,732 --> 01:23:33,222
look, looks improved, but

1837
01:23:33,358 --> 01:23:35,788
trailer though, but I don't
know if we can actually now that

1838
01:23:35,798 --> 01:23:36,588
I wouldn't I

1839
01:23:36,711 --> 01:23:37,291
we can

1840
01:23:37,618 --> 01:23:39,168
I wouldn't risk, I wouldn't risk it.

1841
01:23:39,188 --> 01:23:41,518
Take-Two likes to be super
litigious about this.

1842
01:23:41,518 --> 01:23:46,318
I, I edited a video for Fan the
Deck, uh, that included a l- a, the

1843
01:23:46,328 --> 01:23:52,118
old, like, Red Dead Redemption 1
trailer, and that got copyrighted, so

1844
01:23:52,356 --> 01:23:55,106
show any of their trailers
for Rockstar Games.

1845
01:23:55,146 --> 01:23:55,456
They,

1846
01:23:55,662 --> 01:23:56,292
You, you all

1847
01:23:57,292 --> 01:24:02,072
I don't think I've had issues
with, um, with Remedy, but like

1848
01:24:02,072 --> 01:24:04,442
with Rockstar I've had issues.

1849
01:24:04,689 --> 01:24:05,029
Yeah

1850
01:24:05,322 --> 01:24:07,172
Like every time, every time.

1851
01:24:08,522 --> 01:24:09,972
So fuck, fuck

1852
01:24:10,043 --> 01:24:10,213
can

1853
01:24:10,302 --> 01:24:10,392
them.

1854
01:24:10,693 --> 01:24:16,223
just not forget, we, we cannot
allow ourselves to forget that,

1855
01:24:16,683 --> 01:24:22,473
uh, Rockstar are a bunch of
union-busting criminals and, um, if

1856
01:24:22,473 --> 01:24:25,933
you play, if you buy GTA are a scab.

1857
01:24:27,113 --> 01:24:28,273
We should remember that.

1858
01:24:30,604 --> 01:24:35,344
Well, if you see my Steam account
playing Grand Theft Auto VI in a year

1859
01:24:35,344 --> 01:24:39,024
fr- uh, from the release date, it's
n- I'm not, I, it wasn't me playing it

1860
01:24:39,747 --> 01:24:40,207
Okay.

1861
01:24:40,447 --> 01:24:40,787
All right.

1862
01:24:40,899 --> 01:24:41,199
Steam

1863
01:24:41,447 --> 01:24:43,157
you, but, uh, Goddammit.

1864
01:24:43,927 --> 01:24:44,107
We

1865
01:24:44,204 --> 01:24:44,604
will

1866
01:24:44,937 --> 01:24:45,587
this, right?

1867
01:24:45,607 --> 01:24:47,667
Like, if we want things to improve, we

1868
01:24:47,710 --> 01:24:48,220
I know.

1869
01:24:48,317 --> 01:24:49,167
workers power

1870
01:24:49,930 --> 01:24:50,430
I agree.

1871
01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:53,940
I, and I, the, my thing is the more and
more I'm, I'm looking at it, the more and

1872
01:24:53,940 --> 01:24:57,150
more I don't f- I think the only way we're
gonna do that is through regulations.

1873
01:24:58,657 --> 01:24:58,837
Well

1874
01:24:58,910 --> 01:24:59,090
gotta

1875
01:24:59,257 --> 01:24:59,767
I trust

1876
01:24:59,970 --> 01:25:03,720
and, uh, the, the, this endgame
capitalism stuff where p- companies are

1877
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,380
just self-destructing 'cause of profit.

1878
01:25:06,110 --> 01:25:08,240
make so much money, it's so bad.

1879
01:25:08,380 --> 01:25:11,970
We talk about it in the bonus episode,
by the way, just to promote that again

1880
01:25:12,970 --> 01:25:13,850
Ugh, dude.

1881
01:25:14,630 --> 01:25:14,990
don't know.

1882
01:25:15,180 --> 01:25:15,510
I don't know.

1883
01:25:15,540 --> 01:25:19,020
I, I'm just gonna give Mad Props
one more time to that's, that's,

1884
01:25:19,031 --> 01:25:19,311
Yeah.

1885
01:25:20,340 --> 01:25:20,930
amazing

1886
01:25:21,281 --> 01:25:24,161
They're the only company…
'Cause I think Costco might do it.

1887
01:25:24,321 --> 01:25:24,941
I don't know

1888
01:25:24,941 --> 01:25:26,481
if, if they are going to though.

1889
01:25:26,501 --> 01:25:27,391
They said they're going to.

1890
01:25:27,391 --> 01:25:29,361
I don't know if they will,
but Playdate's done it

1891
01:25:30,510 --> 01:25:30,810
Yeah

1892
01:25:32,055 --> 01:25:32,425
Yeah.

1893
01:25:32,555 --> 01:25:35,395
Costco says that they want… But they've
been fighting the Trump administration on

1894
01:25:35,395 --> 01:25:40,285
the tariffs stuff anyways, They said, I--
And they have a really good record of who

1895
01:25:40,285 --> 01:25:44,365
bought what, so they should be able to
do refunds, and they have a good avenue

1896
01:25:44,365 --> 01:25:46,365
to do that through your check rebate.

1897
01:25:46,365 --> 01:25:46,865
So we'll see.

1898
01:25:46,885 --> 01:25:50,665
Maybe they will do it, and maybe when
you're, um, renew your membership…

1899
01:25:50,675 --> 01:25:55,185
Well, by the time you get done with your
membership, you get your rebate, which

1900
01:25:55,215 --> 01:25:57,325
mine was almost like $400 this last time.

1901
01:25:57,795 --> 01:26:00,195
And so maybe they'll bump it into there.

1902
01:26:00,275 --> 01:26:00,785
I don't know

1903
01:26:01,785 --> 01:26:04,645
Yeah, I mean, it's hard to know
for certain what's gonna happen

1904
01:26:05,921 --> 01:26:09,911
Nintendo, I get it if you don't have
an easy way to offer the, the refunds

1905
01:26:09,911 --> 01:26:13,011
and if the refunds aren't really big,
it might cost just the same amount

1906
01:26:13,011 --> 01:26:14,701
of money to try to r- offer them.

1907
01:26:14,951 --> 01:26:16,281
Like with Nintendo, I don't know.

1908
01:26:16,431 --> 01:26:19,471
Like they're not… Like if they wanna
be transparent that would help, but

1909
01:26:20,201 --> 01:26:21,521
give something away for free then.

1910
01:26:21,621 --> 01:26:23,701
Use that money, don't pocket
that 'cause you're just

1911
01:26:23,701 --> 01:26:25,611
fucking stealing at that point.

1912
01:26:25,690 --> 01:26:25,970
Yeah.

1913
01:26:26,261 --> 01:26:27,581
In my opinion, it's theft.

1914
01:26:27,611 --> 01:26:33,021
And so d- bare minimum to save
a little face, us something

1915
01:26:34,287 --> 01:26:37,767
So that's why Nintendo is fighting
so hard against that lawsuit

1916
01:26:37,847 --> 01:26:41,577
where, you know, where they're
currently getting sued right now

1917
01:26:42,729 --> 01:26:46,199
I won't, you know, give Bela to just
die by the s- you know, live by the

1918
01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:47,899
sword, die by the sword, so, you know

1919
01:26:48,899 --> 01:26:49,249
Yep.

1920
01:26:50,158 --> 01:26:52,438
Ah, wouldn't it be some shit if
Nintendo lost this lawsuit, huh?

1921
01:26:53,782 --> 01:26:54,692
TheBrink

1922
01:26:54,823 --> 01:26:57,453
Well, dude, there's
going to be a reckoning.

1923
01:26:57,863 --> 01:27:05,833
Uh, and it's not gonna be… there
has to be some kind of, like, justice

1924
01:27:05,843 --> 01:27:09,953
brought after, you know, the, the
criminals that are in charge right

1925
01:27:09,953 --> 01:27:11,753
now ha- are taken to account.

1926
01:27:11,783 --> 01:27:14,313
Like, every- Like, and I'm
not just talking about, like,

1927
01:27:14,403 --> 01:27:17,203
officials, I'm talking about,
like, business leaders as well.

1928
01:27:17,573 --> 01:27:22,283
There has to be some kind of
accountability Nintendo's chief among the

1929
01:27:22,313 --> 01:27:23,913
companies that need accountability too

1930
01:27:24,913 --> 01:27:28,893
We just need to figure out a good
way for us to take back the power

1931
01:27:29,679 --> 01:27:29,969
Yeah

1932
01:27:31,125 --> 01:27:34,755
One that's a little less
destructive than say, sawing down

1933
01:27:34,755 --> 01:27:36,585
an entire flagpole, but you know

1934
01:27:37,517 --> 01:27:39,787
Right, which we talked
about in the bonus episode.

1935
01:27:40,337 --> 01:27:45,237
Uh, and so I think, uh, yeah,
that's a good segue to the end.

1936
01:27:45,237 --> 01:27:49,227
If you guys haven't watched the
bonus episode yet, it's available

1937
01:27:49,237 --> 01:27:50,917
for our patrons over on Patreon.

1938
01:27:51,377 --> 01:27:53,857
Uh, those are gonna be linked
down below as well as to our

1939
01:27:53,857 --> 01:27:55,887
website, offtheconsole.com.

1940
01:27:56,787 --> 01:27:59,097
uh, yeah, thank you guys for being here.

1941
01:27:59,097 --> 01:28:03,387
Thank you James and Hi-Tech for, for
the voices of reason with me this week.

1942
01:28:03,397 --> 01:28:04,247
I appreciate you

1943
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:05,540
yeah,

1944
01:28:05,859 --> 01:28:06,249
You're welcome.

1945
01:28:06,249 --> 01:28:06,909
You're welcome

1946
01:28:07,810 --> 01:28:12,400
for me being the, uh, the doubting Thomas
on stuff or n- uh, or being the opposite

1947
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,680
of being agreeing of the DLSS stuff, but

1948
01:28:16,373 --> 01:28:19,543
No, thank you for putting up
with my, like, ri- ridiculous,

1949
01:28:19,573 --> 01:28:21,603
uh, like, anti-tech extremist.

1950
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:23,210
Yeah.

1951
01:28:23,277 --> 01:28:24,867
A tech YouTuber being

1952
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:26,100
easy to go down that.

1953
01:28:26,863 --> 01:28:27,503
Yeah.

1954
01:28:27,580 --> 01:28:27,740
all the

1955
01:28:27,757 --> 01:28:28,597
Yeah.

1956
01:28:29,297 --> 01:28:31,407
One day tech will be cool again.

1957
01:28:31,843 --> 01:28:32,173
Yeah

1958
01:28:32,357 --> 01:28:34,307
tech outside of video games, that is.

1959
01:28:34,577 --> 01:28:35,847
Video games are still pretty cool

1960
01:28:36,887 --> 01:28:37,457
I, I like

1961
01:28:37,642 --> 01:28:38,172
I agree

1962
01:28:39,231 --> 01:28:40,371
I like the Playdate too.

1963
01:28:40,697 --> 01:28:40,957
But

1964
01:28:41,141 --> 01:28:42,621
Hey, maybe we should
review one of these one day

1965
01:28:43,401 --> 01:28:43,981
Agreed.

1966
01:28:44,231 --> 01:28:48,221
I, I'll have Dash review, or maybe Dash
did review the play date on the site.

1967
01:28:49,441 --> 01:28:51,181
Um, I gotta look it up now.

1968
01:28:51,481 --> 01:28:52,611
I think she might have.

1969
01:28:53,681 --> 01:28:56,131
Um, play date

1970
01:28:57,131 --> 01:28:58,061
What, so

1971
01:28:58,238 --> 01:28:59,288
yeah, yeah.

1972
01:29:00,888 --> 01:29:01,218
We have

1973
01:29:01,269 --> 01:29:01,759
Man

1974
01:29:01,918 --> 01:29:05,748
of ga- a game on there
anyway, which is pretty cool.

1975
01:29:07,108 --> 01:29:09,758
But yeah, with that said, I don't
know, is there anything else

1976
01:29:09,758 --> 01:29:10,928
we wanna talk about before we

1977
01:29:10,938 --> 01:29:11,218
sign

1978
01:29:11,329 --> 01:29:11,639
Yeah.

1979
01:29:12,059 --> 01:29:12,329
I think

1980
01:29:12,512 --> 01:29:13,272
Haven't got much else.

1981
01:29:13,322 --> 01:29:14,642
I think, I think we're good

1982
01:29:15,449 --> 01:29:17,959
If, if, if I- it sounds like I'm
talking over people, it's because

1983
01:29:17,959 --> 01:29:19,979
my internet's been so crappy.

1984
01:29:21,229 --> 01:29:23,629
w- we're in the middle of some
thunderstorms, some other storms.

1985
01:29:23,629 --> 01:29:25,879
I don't know what else is
going on, but just as a

1986
01:29:25,898 --> 01:29:27,828
right like right now?

1987
01:29:28,659 --> 01:29:30,419
Oh, yeah, it's been raining
and thundering the whole time

1988
01:29:31,256 --> 01:29:31,676
Yeah.

1989
01:29:33,326 --> 01:29:33,666
Cool.

1990
01:29:34,126 --> 01:29:35,396
Well, thank you guys.

1991
01:29:35,636 --> 01:29:36,606
We'll see you next week.

1992
01:29:37,707 --> 01:29:38,387
Okay, thanks.

1993
01:29:38,447 --> 01:29:38,807
Peace out.

1994
01:29:38,847 --> 01:29:39,057
Later

1995
01:29:39,712 --> 01:29:40,072
Later

1996
01:29:40,236 --> 01:29:40,386
Later.
