1 00:00:10,287 --> 00:00:12,989 Welcome to Off the Console. 2 00:00:12,989 --> 00:00:17,942 It's your favorite show that's all about gaming and tech news and everything nerdy. 3 00:00:17,942 --> 00:00:18,932 I'm Gardner Bryant. 4 00:00:18,932 --> 00:00:21,984 I'm joined today by my friends James and High Tech Low Life. 5 00:00:21,984 --> 00:00:23,505 How's it going, my friends? 6 00:00:24,425 --> 00:00:26,230 Welcome, welcome everybody. 7 00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:27,122 you? 8 00:00:27,675 --> 00:00:30,527 Yeah, we're here today with another episode. 9 00:00:30,527 --> 00:00:34,030 ~ we're gonna be talking about a bunch of interesting things. 10 00:00:34,030 --> 00:00:41,526 We're gonna be talking about Xbox patents, we're gonna be talking about Sony patents, ~ we're gonna be talking about the Steam Frame. 11 00:00:41,747 --> 00:00:46,990 But before we get to even what we like to start with, James, you're wearing the Steam Frame. 12 00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:50,753 my goodness, is that the frame? 13 00:00:52,015 --> 00:00:56,478 I was one of the unfortunate lucky people to get the steam frame. 14 00:00:57,319 --> 00:00:58,335 just gonna 15 00:00:58,335 --> 00:01:03,322 I'll I'll exit the virtual world here for a second for you guys. 16 00:01:03,322 --> 00:01:04,485 Okay. 17 00:01:06,045 --> 00:01:08,626 so I got I was lucky enough to get the steam frame. 18 00:01:08,626 --> 00:01:15,461 I got this the I got the buy link or email Saturday last week. 19 00:01:15,461 --> 00:01:19,694 So after we got done with the the episode or like closer to the end, I think, of the day. 20 00:01:19,694 --> 00:01:21,335 ~ 21 00:01:21,531 --> 00:01:31,838 I was super excited, but it was also one of those things where I s you know, it in in order to buy this thing, it's like with tax and I think the ergonomic package should be 22 00:01:31,838 --> 00:01:32,238 included. 23 00:01:32,238 --> 00:01:38,182 That's in one of the things that kinda pisses me off is that they charged you an extra fifty bucks, which it's not worth that. 24 00:01:38,182 --> 00:01:41,343 ~ in the sense of like parts and everything. 25 00:01:43,285 --> 00:01:45,284 so it was like fourteen hundred and fifty dollars. 26 00:01:45,284 --> 00:01:47,225 I'll have like a a thorough video. 27 00:01:47,225 --> 00:01:54,984 I have an outline and everything and script ready for a video for my f initial thoughts, but just to go into it, I l I really do like this. 28 00:01:54,984 --> 00:02:01,910 This is this the best way I can put this is it is the best VR experience for the current gen. 29 00:02:02,071 --> 00:02:09,157 It doesn't feel like it's and and the current gen is been around for a little bit now, is is how I kind of put it. 30 00:02:09,198 --> 00:02:11,399 Steam and that's how all their products are right now. 31 00:02:11,399 --> 00:02:23,342 Is that ~ as I kinda came to the realization the Steam Machine probably one of the best piece like for its price now for the current gen. 32 00:02:23,342 --> 00:02:25,363 It's not really a next gen thing. 33 00:02:25,363 --> 00:02:26,763 They released it. 34 00:02:27,584 --> 00:02:31,525 I would say all the stuff Valve's coming out with is just a little lackluster. 35 00:02:31,525 --> 00:02:33,835 ~ at the end of the day. 36 00:02:33,835 --> 00:02:35,286 I still play my Steam Machine every day. 37 00:02:35,286 --> 00:02:36,250 Like I'm 38 00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:39,452 I'm more excited for Control Resident than I am, and that's what I've been playing. 39 00:02:39,452 --> 00:02:40,142 I I love that. 40 00:02:40,142 --> 00:02:54,670 By the way, anyone who likes hack and slashes that likes a little bit of ~ paranormal ~ adjacent games, go go get control resident because Remedy needs the support to continue 41 00:02:54,670 --> 00:02:57,882 building good games, but I'm more excited for that than this. 42 00:02:57,962 --> 00:03:05,686 Partially 'cause when I got it and I put it on, I'm like, this is awesome for ~ 43 00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:09,230 wireless like a a a portable valve index. 44 00:03:10,132 --> 00:03:13,556 I thought it I I felt like it was gonna be a little bit better of an experience. 45 00:03:13,556 --> 00:03:21,977 And don't get me wrong, it it is, and I'm sure as I have more time with it, I'll feel like it's worth it because I don't have to set up lighthouses. 46 00:03:21,977 --> 00:03:23,208 I can go anywhere in the house. 47 00:03:23,208 --> 00:03:24,790 ~ 48 00:03:25,253 --> 00:03:29,865 I went and I I was able to walk up the stairs, even though the grayscale is very warpy. 49 00:03:29,865 --> 00:03:33,416 Like it feels like I'm in virtual reality in the real world more than I am 50 00:03:33,416 --> 00:03:34,446 in the game. 51 00:03:34,446 --> 00:03:39,127 And so, yeah, I not to not to like eat up the whole episode with all this. 52 00:03:39,127 --> 00:03:41,288 I I do really like it. 53 00:03:41,428 --> 00:03:47,190 Valve is kind of on my shit list now in the sense of they have billions of dollars. 54 00:03:47,524 --> 00:03:53,596 They could have done, I feel like, more, maybe eight, eight more of the cost and eight and and got it in like software. 55 00:03:53,596 --> 00:03:59,348 ~ but fourteen hundred dollars and I walked away. 56 00:03:59,348 --> 00:04:06,210 And I have only tried a meta two VR before, but walking away, because that has color pass-through from my understanding. 57 00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:07,581 This doesn't even have color pass-through. 58 00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,141 You have to buy $150. 59 00:04:09,141 --> 00:04:11,662 Everything about this feels expensive. 60 00:04:11,912 --> 00:04:15,685 in the wrong direction where you want to buy something like, okay, this is very premium. 61 00:04:15,685 --> 00:04:24,562 And it is, it is pr it is feel premium to an extent, but it's not ~ I would say a big upgrade from the Valve index. 62 00:04:25,203 --> 00:04:27,345 And so it makes me kind of sad. 63 00:04:27,345 --> 00:04:27,846 And 64 00:04:27,846 --> 00:04:32,369 I I should have known better, but ~ that's just my first thoughts. 65 00:04:32,369 --> 00:04:39,955 I'm sure I'm gonna think otherwise in a couple of weeks, but it's just sucks to because it's I think a portion of us the 66 00:04:40,564 --> 00:04:51,189 Ramageddon kind of thing, you the Rampocalypse or whatever, where Ram Prices and MVMe and and just NAND prices have just jumped everything. 67 00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:58,103 But it just it's really hard to unbox something so expensive and just 68 00:04:58,103 --> 00:05:00,353 be like, okay. 69 00:05:00,594 --> 00:05:04,055 That this could have this should have been like six hundred dollars. 70 00:05:04,117 --> 00:05:05,038 Hmm. 71 00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:11,708 If it was more in like that price range, like six, seven hundred, would you feel the same way? 72 00:05:13,252 --> 00:05:13,657 No. 73 00:05:13,657 --> 00:05:14,328 Okay. 74 00:05:14,328 --> 00:05:24,296 that's I think a big part of my point is ~ I f like the accessory kit, which has no NAN, and this is why I kind of feel like it's a little bit of a bullshit reason to have it be 75 00:05:24,296 --> 00:05:33,082 priced so much, is that Valve they're not owned by any they're they're they're not the they're not a public company. 76 00:05:33,082 --> 00:05:38,686 So they're they don't have a board of the same manner telling them what to do, right? 77 00:05:38,686 --> 00:05:41,148 Say, hey, you gotta ink every little profit. 78 00:05:41,398 --> 00:05:50,554 But it feels like they're wanting to ink every little profit out of their s and I get it, they're like there's a there's like only so there there's a supply issue, right? 79 00:05:50,554 --> 00:05:57,999 And usually the supply issues usually up prices, but they have a wait list for probably a year on some of these things. 80 00:05:57,999 --> 00:05:58,930 And so 81 00:05:59,352 --> 00:06:04,666 that's not a reason to overcharge i in my opinion, at least in this case. 82 00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:07,467 I think it's gonna cause a lot I I'm I'm seeing more reviews. 83 00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:09,829 It's causing a little sour taste for people to have to buy it. 84 00:06:09,829 --> 00:06:16,502 Like if I was given this, I think I'd have a little bit different of a take and that's some of the reasons why I like to buy the products I review. 85 00:06:16,502 --> 00:06:21,928 ~ I'd love to get too for free, but I'm also gonna just buy ~ most of the time. 86 00:06:21,928 --> 00:06:23,278 Even the kill switch is what like that. 87 00:06:23,278 --> 00:06:27,301 I bought the kill switch also, even though I got was given a review copy. 88 00:06:27,301 --> 00:06:28,782 ~ 89 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,691 It's just yeah. 90 00:06:31,691 --> 00:06:32,791 It's the cost, man. 91 00:06:32,791 --> 00:06:35,271 And they could have a they could have ate more of the cost. 92 00:06:35,272 --> 00:06:38,773 And I think t sorry, to circle back around and then we can continue on. 93 00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:43,254 The ~ ergonomic package, what is it like sixty bucks, fifty bucks? 94 00:06:43,254 --> 00:06:43,604 I can't 95 00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:44,714 even remember. 96 00:06:44,964 --> 00:06:46,044 Is is outrageous. 97 00:06:46,044 --> 00:06:48,245 They could have just d you know, included it in f for, you know. 98 00:06:48,245 --> 00:06:56,605 ~ 99 00:06:56,605 --> 00:07:01,461 I th mine is the one terabyte, which I am glad I got it 'cause the standalone is getting better. 100 00:07:01,703 --> 00:07:07,792 But Half Life Alex doesn't even work on this from the steam machine. 101 00:07:07,792 --> 00:07:08,404 So 102 00:07:08,404 --> 00:07:09,306 Mm-hmm. 103 00:07:09,574 --> 00:07:13,021 that was probably f that 104 00:07:13,021 --> 00:07:18,595 but I thought that may but I thought that maybe they'd get it fixed by the time people actually got theirs in their hands. 105 00:07:18,858 --> 00:07:28,062 So I'm downloading it right now, the steam the Half-Life Alloc standalone version, and you they don't have it on their VR, like even though they you can see it in their patches that 106 00:07:28,062 --> 00:07:29,693 they're like, we fixed it for the steam frame. 107 00:07:29,693 --> 00:07:31,074 It's potentially standalone. 108 00:07:31,074 --> 00:07:35,416 It's probably like a beta thing, but you can download that update. 109 00:07:35,488 --> 00:07:36,968 They don't have it VR approved. 110 00:07:36,968 --> 00:07:40,351 Like they don't have it verified for the frame yet. 111 00:07:40,372 --> 00:07:41,082 So it's making me 112 00:07:41,082 --> 00:07:43,114 think the standalone's not going work very well. 113 00:07:43,114 --> 00:07:46,096 But the Steam Machine does actually work really well with this. 114 00:07:46,096 --> 00:07:54,733 I was really excited in the beginning, but ~ the number one best title in the world, VR title in the world, hands down, is Half-Life Alex. 115 00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:55,564 They own it. 116 00:07:55,564 --> 00:07:58,086 They had plenty of time. 117 00:07:58,086 --> 00:07:59,127 This thing was pushed off. 118 00:07:59,127 --> 00:08:03,049 They were I've they won the releases in the first half of the year, right? 119 00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:03,370 Mm. 120 00:08:03,370 --> 00:08:04,451 They. 121 00:08:04,997 --> 00:08:07,829 obviously didn't prepare well enough. 122 00:08:07,829 --> 00:08:09,490 They could have hired someone. 123 00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:10,261 That that's my thing. 124 00:08:10,261 --> 00:08:11,172 This it comes down to it. 125 00:08:11,172 --> 00:08:12,392 They have so much money. 126 00:08:12,392 --> 00:08:13,883 They could have made so much things better. 127 00:08:13,883 --> 00:08:15,014 And they didn't. 128 00:08:15,014 --> 00:08:16,535 And that's why I think I'm pissed off. 129 00:08:16,535 --> 00:08:20,058 Is that and and it they need to learn a lesson. 130 00:08:20,058 --> 00:08:31,306 So for me, I just I'm gonna rag on them until they learn that lesson that they could have hired someone to make sure the Steam Machine worked f great with the with Half-Life Alex 131 00:08:31,306 --> 00:08:32,197 with the steam frame. 132 00:08:32,197 --> 00:08:32,967 But 133 00:08:33,033 --> 00:08:33,607 Here we are. 134 00:08:33,607 --> 00:08:35,111 Sorry, rant over. 135 00:08:35,141 --> 00:08:36,031 all good that 136 00:08:36,031 --> 00:08:36,772 that's great, man. 137 00:08:36,772 --> 00:08:45,007 I mean, damn, that's a two thousand that's a two thousand minimum setup to have both the frame and the ~ machine, and it doesn't even work like that. 138 00:08:45,007 --> 00:08:46,698 That's a little 139 00:08:46,698 --> 00:08:48,462 leading product that they own. 140 00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:49,013 That's my thing. 141 00:08:49,013 --> 00:08:50,887 If if they didn't own it, okay, 142 00:08:50,887 --> 00:08:51,700 I understand. 143 00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:52,901 They own it. 144 00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:53,368 Yeah. 145 00:08:53,368 --> 00:08:56,810 Half Life Alex is the best game in VR, period. 146 00:08:56,810 --> 00:08:57,290 Like 147 00:08:57,290 --> 00:08:59,471 and not it's not even a it's not even close. 148 00:08:59,471 --> 00:09:06,614 And so yes, I also am like shocked and disappointed that it doesn't run standalone on the headset. 149 00:09:06,614 --> 00:09:09,771 ~ Yeah. 150 00:09:09,771 --> 00:09:10,248 it. 151 00:09:10,248 --> 00:09:13,713 Why would Valve not like ensure that wor that worked? 152 00:09:13,713 --> 00:09:14,104 Like 153 00:09:14,104 --> 00:09:18,286 the problem is high tech is it's Valve and that's just how Valve is. 154 00:09:18,286 --> 00:09:21,257 And I don't think that that's a good excuse, but like 155 00:09:21,257 --> 00:09:31,251 just you Valve is like herding cats, like they don't really have like a leader at ever it it's it is the most libertarian of companies, right? 156 00:09:31,251 --> 00:09:35,045 Like at least in its structure, I would say. 157 00:09:35,045 --> 00:09:38,095 it it's interest it's very it's I don't know. 158 00:09:38,095 --> 00:09:41,827 I I w I honestly this is making me more and more I might go study their structure. 159 00:09:41,827 --> 00:09:44,048 I don't want to piss them off because I love Valve. 160 00:09:44,048 --> 00:09:48,650 And I want to have an ~ one day would I'd love to have an interview with them, you know. 161 00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:53,332 But I want what I want is to motivate them to be better and to do better 162 00:09:53,332 --> 00:09:55,153 and they have the resources to be better. 163 00:09:55,153 --> 00:09:57,353 They could hire someone. 164 00:09:57,373 --> 00:10:02,015 There's plenty of VR experts ~ and that know Linux also. 165 00:10:02,047 --> 00:10:05,468 They could have hired someone to just fix Half-Life Alex. 166 00:10:05,468 --> 00:10:06,769 ~ 167 00:10:06,769 --> 00:10:09,890 they could have hired because there's many modders, right? 168 00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:17,642 ~ they they they they they like and it's and I think it comes down to this potentially a proton issue or something, but all I know is I installed it on my Steam Machine, I loaded 169 00:10:17,642 --> 00:10:25,868 it up, it kind of the opening scene is VR with the with the Valve ~ logo and the valve dude, you know. 170 00:10:25,868 --> 00:10:26,427 Mm-hmm. 171 00:10:26,427 --> 00:10:28,149 And it and it kinda breaks. 172 00:10:28,149 --> 00:10:30,811 And you can kinda see the world just like kind of shatter almost. 173 00:10:30,811 --> 00:10:32,032 And then it just doesn't load anymore. 174 00:10:32,032 --> 00:10:34,433 And you're like, my gosh, what is going on here? 175 00:10:34,727 --> 00:10:35,747 So 176 00:10:36,566 --> 00:10:37,477 Yeah. 177 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:41,104 It's ~ it's interesting. 178 00:10:41,104 --> 00:10:42,949 full video review from ya man. 179 00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:43,935 Yeah, me too. 180 00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:45,537 have a first impressions. 181 00:10:45,537 --> 00:10:47,398 It's turning into a review and then I'll do a review. 182 00:10:47,398 --> 00:10:51,081 I still haven't got my Steam Machine review out because I've been that's the thing. 183 00:10:51,081 --> 00:10:53,763 I've been enjoying the Steam Machine quite a bit. 184 00:10:53,844 --> 00:10:55,715 Like, I really like it. 185 00:10:55,715 --> 00:10:57,396 I've been playing multiple games on it. 186 00:10:57,396 --> 00:11:03,731 I've I've put probably f 300 hours into it already. 187 00:11:06,594 --> 00:11:08,155 I w and 188 00:11:08,171 --> 00:11:19,120 Playing the games I do, like even I'd want to play like control on my headset as a virtual mach ~ monitor, but the fidelity's not as good as my four K monitor I have right here. 189 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,701 And so 190 00:11:19,701 --> 00:11:25,205 I kinda just puts me I'm like, why would I do it virtually with less fidelity? 191 00:11:26,006 --> 00:11:28,498 But the the the str the now the streaming is good. 192 00:11:28,498 --> 00:11:31,084 Don't go don't get me wrong, the streaming is really good. 193 00:11:31,084 --> 00:11:31,914 Mm. 194 00:11:32,051 --> 00:11:32,692 Like 195 00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:33,333 The visual 196 00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:37,396 quality of streaming from the Steam Machine to the Steam frame is awesome. 197 00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:46,494 The problem is the resolution still is just it's just it it's all it's better than the the valve index, but like I don't feel like it's enough for me 198 00:11:46,494 --> 00:11:46,754 Mm. 199 00:11:46,754 --> 00:11:52,676 to like say eat that fourteen hundred dollars for the average person. 200 00:11:52,676 --> 00:11:56,791 the steam controller with the headset? 201 00:11:57,007 --> 00:12:00,149 I haven't I need to well, I kinda did. 202 00:12:00,149 --> 00:12:00,950 So funny enough, 203 00:12:00,950 --> 00:12:05,993 I was playing control resonant with the streaming it from the steam machine, right? 204 00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:09,516 And so I th the the controller was just hooked up to the steam machine and so I just planning it that way. 205 00:12:09,516 --> 00:12:10,677 And it was great. 206 00:12:10,677 --> 00:12:15,636 I haven't hooked it up to or linked it up to the steam frame because it's already hooked up to the steam machine. 207 00:12:15,636 --> 00:12:16,060 Mm. 208 00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:21,404 And ~ I I'll be honest, I get really tired of having my controllers linked. 209 00:12:21,404 --> 00:12:25,107 I I I will have at one point I'll I'll hook it up. 210 00:12:25,107 --> 00:12:25,827 ~ 211 00:12:25,827 --> 00:12:28,217 But I have played it with the headset on. 212 00:12:28,367 --> 00:12:29,188 But it's fine. 213 00:12:29,188 --> 00:12:31,858 does the frame controller feel? 214 00:12:32,108 --> 00:12:38,652 ~ there I think I like the valve index controllers just a slight bit more, but these are more standardized. 215 00:12:38,652 --> 00:12:39,453 I like it. 216 00:12:39,453 --> 00:12:52,680 ~ I do really still to this day am annoyed that they didn't put a USB C ~ port on it so that you could plug it in and charge rechargeable batteries that you can stick in there 217 00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:58,463 because it's just if you what you can do rechargeable, but you're gonna have to pull them out, swap them out. 218 00:12:58,965 --> 00:13:01,490 That being said, I don't think I've seen the bar move down. 219 00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:05,658 So it has I think the same four or five bars that you see on the valve index. 220 00:13:05,658 --> 00:13:11,222 ~ I haven't seen it move down much with the included batteries, so at least they included batteries. 221 00:13:11,222 --> 00:13:12,163 Yeah. 222 00:13:12,163 --> 00:13:19,191 I I remember reading that the controllers have like ridiculous ~ lifetime life battery life. 223 00:13:19,191 --> 00:13:20,232 Like I think I 224 00:13:20,232 --> 00:13:22,073 read thirty hours or something. 225 00:13:22,722 --> 00:13:30,033 Yeah, they might even be better than that 'cause I've pl I've probably put f four hours, five hours into this, and I haven't seen the bar move once. 226 00:13:30,836 --> 00:13:31,026 But 227 00:13:31,026 --> 00:13:33,100 then again, that that equates. 228 00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,327 Give it a little bit longer. 229 00:13:34,327 --> 00:13:35,009 controller. 230 00:13:35,009 --> 00:13:38,432 How does the ~ how's the frame hold up in terms of battery life? 231 00:13:38,432 --> 00:13:39,816 I've heard a lot of 232 00:13:40,671 --> 00:13:41,846 Ha ha ha. 233 00:13:41,894 --> 00:13:47,485 wise, it's it's it's a weird, it's this really weird place where I'm like, cool. 234 00:13:47,485 --> 00:13:50,596 I get it's awesome that you made a standalone, it's really powerful. 235 00:13:50,596 --> 00:13:52,237 You get an hour's worth. 236 00:13:52,857 --> 00:13:55,498 If you're lucky, depending on what you're playing. 237 00:13:56,318 --> 00:13:59,999 Beat Saber, it didn't lag for me, but it lagged for Susie. 238 00:13:59,999 --> 00:14:04,380 ~ it yeah. 239 00:14:05,161 --> 00:14:06,541 Performance lag. 240 00:14:06,765 --> 00:14:07,616 shit. 241 00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:08,500 Just a little bit. 242 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,051 I didn't it didn't lag for me though, but she noticed it. 243 00:14:11,412 --> 00:14:14,014 And but there don't get me wrong. 244 00:14:14,014 --> 00:14:18,278 It is great to play a Beatsaber without having to have the PC on or anything else heating up the room. 245 00:14:18,278 --> 00:14:19,619 ~ 246 00:14:19,619 --> 00:14:22,962 you can hear the the goggles fan though after a little bit. 247 00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:27,525 And you can feel the fan on your eyes, which I could definitely see that drying people's eyes out. 248 00:14:28,046 --> 00:14:30,568 So that will be interesting to see what people I haven't seen it. 249 00:14:30,568 --> 00:14:36,192 The weirdest part about this is that I've and I've seen a couple reviews, and maybe I haven't seen enough, is 250 00:14:36,595 --> 00:14:42,539 I haven't seen people talk about some of the things I've run into, like the fan blowing onto my eyes. 251 00:14:42,539 --> 00:14:48,113 Like I don't think it's supposed to, but I think it's it's hitting probably a piece and it's it's it's leaking into the headset. 252 00:14:48,113 --> 00:14:51,085 And I'm like, I could see that drying people's eyes out if you play 253 00:14:51,085 --> 00:14:51,846 for a couple hours. 254 00:14:51,846 --> 00:14:55,658 So ~ yeah, streaming wise it does well. 255 00:14:55,718 --> 00:15:01,942 If you're standalone it's an hour, which means that you're gonna have to have a battery pack vest, like the bomb vest like I talk about. 256 00:15:02,203 --> 00:15:03,444 I've talked about in the past. 257 00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:05,531 ~ but 258 00:15:05,531 --> 00:15:06,746 and sell it. 259 00:15:06,996 --> 00:15:09,001 I should. 260 00:15:09,104 --> 00:15:09,776 Will I? 261 00:15:09,776 --> 00:15:11,823 Probably not. 262 00:15:11,823 --> 00:15:12,575 Because I someone else is 263 00:15:12,575 --> 00:15:13,679 gonna beat me to it. 264 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:20,871 Don't they have like a dual like a hot swappable battery pack coming out sometime soon too? 265 00:15:20,956 --> 00:15:21,316 Yeah, 266 00:15:21,316 --> 00:15:25,116 and I'm kinda curious how they're gonna hook it up, because it looks like it's all connected. 267 00:15:25,116 --> 00:15:27,890 ~ People haven't 268 00:15:27,890 --> 00:15:31,561 seen this unless you're on the bonus episode, me ~ shave my 269 00:15:31,561 --> 00:15:32,382 head. 270 00:15:33,643 --> 00:15:34,883 without my hat. 271 00:15:35,043 --> 00:15:42,687 Might be a first reveal, but yeah, I mean I don't know how they hook up the power to this with and how you'd be able to swap this out. 272 00:15:42,727 --> 00:15:45,018 So it's very customizable in some way. 273 00:15:45,018 --> 00:15:50,331 Like I my eyelashes are too long, so I had to to put the extender in. 274 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:51,982 Mm. 275 00:15:52,587 --> 00:15:58,431 I i it is nice that you're able to customize it in a way that just makes like it feels more perf personal. 276 00:15:58,431 --> 00:16:04,235 But I don't know how they would swap this thing out without you having to like unscrew a bunch of stuff. 277 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,077 Mm. 278 00:16:05,077 --> 00:16:11,114 the good news is iFixa has a video ~ disassembling the frame, so I guess we'll 279 00:16:11,114 --> 00:16:11,866 find out. 280 00:16:11,866 --> 00:16:12,701 Mm. 281 00:16:12,701 --> 00:16:15,289 Yeah, that was that was a good video, yeah. 282 00:16:15,432 --> 00:16:16,400 It is out, yeah. 283 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,608 Did you s was he able to remove the battery pretty easily? 284 00:16:18,608 --> 00:16:19,936 I haven't watched it yet. 285 00:16:19,936 --> 00:16:21,165 ~ 286 00:16:21,165 --> 00:16:22,952 I'm looking 287 00:16:22,956 --> 00:16:23,976 and 288 00:16:24,226 --> 00:16:25,210 It's gotta be. 289 00:16:25,210 --> 00:16:26,022 to the back, right? 290 00:16:26,022 --> 00:16:29,560 So yeah, it looks so yeah, you can he like disconnected the back. 291 00:16:30,381 --> 00:16:35,846 Did did he have to unscrew I'm assuming you have to unscrew it, 'cause if you look, like r I don't know if you can see it, but 292 00:16:35,846 --> 00:16:46,813 There's like a little switch you can just Yeah, the video shows like a little like a f switch you can do to just disengage the battery strap from the frame itself. 293 00:16:47,433 --> 00:16:49,074 that's how you connect it. 294 00:16:49,574 --> 00:16:51,035 That's pretty cool. 295 00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:54,837 And I Yeah, the 296 00:16:54,837 --> 00:16:57,358 battery is the is the back part of the frame. 297 00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:00,159 Yeah, yeah, I know that. 298 00:17:00,260 --> 00:17:01,501 Interesting. 299 00:17:01,502 --> 00:17:07,191 So yeah, I guess you just have to take the whole str all straps off to from itself, yeah. 300 00:17:07,191 --> 00:17:15,942 part the front like screen part just like ejects out of the I the rest of it so pretty easily too, without any t it's toolless. 301 00:17:15,942 --> 00:17:16,133 out. 302 00:17:16,133 --> 00:17:17,446 It it is pretty cool. 303 00:17:17,446 --> 00:17:19,146 It's toolless too, which is pretty cool. 304 00:17:19,146 --> 00:17:20,697 So yeah. 305 00:17:20,845 --> 00:17:22,398 But yeah, see how that is though? 306 00:17:22,398 --> 00:17:25,653 That's a whole set like I don't know. 307 00:17:25,653 --> 00:17:30,612 I feel like they could have made it so that I could disconnect the back myself and just tape a battery back there. 308 00:17:30,612 --> 00:17:30,942 I don't know. 309 00:17:30,942 --> 00:17:33,251 That sounds stupid, but I don't know. 310 00:17:33,251 --> 00:17:35,388 Dude, just make the bomb vest. 311 00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:37,191 I probably need to. 312 00:17:37,191 --> 00:17:46,465 I just I don't the thing is, I don't ha I don't find myself driving to play anything standalone for more than an hour right now. 313 00:17:47,367 --> 00:17:48,188 So 314 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:49,874 I betcha I 315 00:17:50,121 --> 00:17:59,891 to me, sorry, it looks to me like what they're gonna be selling is d the entire like head strap unit and then you replace 316 00:17:59,891 --> 00:18:01,717 the yeah. 317 00:18:01,717 --> 00:18:04,011 port is that that they're using for the battery? 318 00:18:04,011 --> 00:18:06,665 That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen. 319 00:18:06,733 --> 00:18:09,027 I that's probably proprietary. 320 00:18:09,411 --> 00:18:21,469 Dude, imagine if like alright, so imagine if someone made like a head strap thing connected to like the little battery s vest we have and just forego the battery in the 321 00:18:21,469 --> 00:18:23,021 back of your head altogether. 322 00:18:23,396 --> 00:18:24,236 Yeah. 323 00:18:25,037 --> 00:18:29,321 you you I feel like if they 324 00:18:29,321 --> 00:18:38,432 would have made the plug more on both ends that you could easily do that actually without having to buy this whole proprietary setup, but I don't know. 325 00:18:38,432 --> 00:18:43,143 I mean what I guess it depends on how they s have the ~ enthusiast kit set up. 326 00:18:43,869 --> 00:18:44,613 W 327 00:18:44,613 --> 00:18:44,893 Is 328 00:18:44,893 --> 00:18:45,265 this 329 00:18:45,265 --> 00:18:49,540 And I'm curious how much like an extended battery kit is gonna cost because the ergonomic kit, 330 00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:53,035 which is just a couple of straps, is like really expensive. 331 00:18:53,035 --> 00:18:54,596 More expensive than it should be. 332 00:18:54,829 --> 00:18:57,130 Is this the ~ FOV? 333 00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:58,407 Yes. 334 00:18:58,471 --> 00:18:59,432 ~ weird. 335 00:18:59,432 --> 00:19:00,592 That's weird. 336 00:19:00,652 --> 00:19:02,093 But it can lock, right? 337 00:19:02,093 --> 00:19:02,993 That's cool. 338 00:19:02,993 --> 00:19:14,250 Cause mine my I've had my headset since 2019 and that slider does not lock and if you just go like that, it's like you the little fucking thing pops up and it's like, we just moved 339 00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:15,040 it a little bit. 340 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,510 It's annoying. 341 00:19:16,510 --> 00:19:17,040 that issue. 342 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,124 I think I've rubbed against it though, but with with like the valve index. 343 00:19:21,124 --> 00:19:28,601 'Cause I've had it since d like almost day one, but ~ yeah, it's that's a cool teardown. 344 00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:29,421 It's 345 00:19:29,689 --> 00:19:30,519 Mm. 346 00:19:31,404 --> 00:19:36,878 It's hard not to be like grumpy about it, but I do like it. 347 00:19:36,878 --> 00:19:39,258 And it's really cool device. 348 00:19:39,258 --> 00:19:40,879 And I'm I'm excited. 349 00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:46,373 I think what I wanted I wanted to play Half-Life Alex day one and I wasn't 350 00:19:46,373 --> 00:19:47,363 able to. 351 00:19:48,254 --> 00:19:50,836 I bet I bet it'll grow on you like the Steam Frame did. 352 00:19:50,836 --> 00:19:52,863 I mean the Steam Machine did. 353 00:19:53,607 --> 00:19:56,384 I was I grumpy about the steam machine. 354 00:19:56,918 --> 00:19:58,379 Well, you were well, 355 00:19:58,379 --> 00:20:06,294 not when you got it, but you certainly were rally you were kind of less like enthusiast enthused for it when the price was announced. 356 00:20:06,294 --> 00:20:07,715 And then you grew to love it even 357 00:20:07,715 --> 00:20:10,416 more when you actually you know, sat down and played with it. 358 00:20:10,666 --> 00:20:12,807 It's just the nature of the beast right now. 359 00:20:12,807 --> 00:20:20,839 Like everything is so expensive and I do feel like these products that Valve are coming out with, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be that guy. 360 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:31,111 I'm gonna say like they're they're going for profit and I get it, they're a company, but they make so much money they're the most valuable company when it comes to like workers 361 00:20:31,111 --> 00:20:34,072 to what they make in the world, ~ right? 362 00:20:34,072 --> 00:20:40,414 And so for my if I remember correctly, so I I'm sorry. 363 00:20:40,463 --> 00:20:43,314 Not only that, the like, yes, they are 364 00:20:43,314 --> 00:20:49,506 the most profitable company v ~ in terms of like employees to profit margin. 365 00:20:49,686 --> 00:20:52,167 However, not only that, right? 366 00:20:52,167 --> 00:21:05,651 That is one reason that they should be subsidizing this, but Valve also wants to like if Valve wants to actually make a huge impact in the VR market, they should be subsidizing it 367 00:21:05,651 --> 00:21:06,191 too. 368 00:21:06,191 --> 00:21:07,020 Because 369 00:21:07,020 --> 00:21:20,307 If they if they could sell this for at a competitive price versus ~ meta, like they could have huge numbers of people buying it, buying games, the attachment rate would probably be 370 00:21:20,307 --> 00:21:25,089 more than justified in terms of like how much ~ it costs. 371 00:21:25,089 --> 00:21:33,874 Now, granted Meta just came out with those VR glasses and i this might look a little antiquated compared to those. 372 00:21:34,574 --> 00:21:36,184 You know, if you're the yeah. 373 00:21:36,184 --> 00:21:37,175 is not great though. 374 00:21:37,175 --> 00:21:47,338 Like the it's it's like it's from my understanding, it's it's like a a nice melding between the meta glasses and the meta or the meta whatever, you know, glasses and whatever 375 00:21:47,338 --> 00:21:47,728 that is. 376 00:21:47,728 --> 00:21:49,149 I can't remember, but when 377 00:21:49,149 --> 00:21:53,590 I first saw it's like, man, I'm kinda jealous, but I'm like, there's like even this has light that leaks through. 378 00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,351 That's another thing that kind of upsets 379 00:21:55,351 --> 00:21:59,622 me is that I put it on and I'm like, There's still even with the the ergonomic kit helps. 380 00:22:00,162 --> 00:22:02,163 But there's still a little bit of light that leaks through. 381 00:22:02,163 --> 00:22:05,967 And I just have had such a hard time adjusting to try not to get that. 382 00:22:06,084 --> 00:22:06,388 Yeah. 383 00:22:06,388 --> 00:22:14,617 Another cool thing though is with the grayscale, when you put this on, like I can see when my camera's like I have a camera right now that's my iPhone's flashing every once in a 384 00:22:14,617 --> 00:22:14,767 while. 385 00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:17,039 I don't know what it's do- why it's flashing at me. 386 00:22:17,260 --> 00:22:21,854 But you can see ~ like the face ID unlock, you can see it flash at you. 387 00:22:21,854 --> 00:22:23,365 It's interesting, so. 388 00:22:23,688 --> 00:22:24,609 Yeah. 389 00:22:24,969 --> 00:22:28,012 It's ~ dude, I really I'm excited about it. 390 00:22:28,012 --> 00:22:34,738 Personally, I never use the pass through on my index, so I'm not so worried about that. 391 00:22:34,738 --> 00:22:40,282 Although if it's something where it's untethered and I get to move around, maybe pass through is more important. 392 00:22:41,276 --> 00:22:44,554 Yeah, I was able to replace my family while eating the other day. 393 00:22:44,554 --> 00:22:51,117 I I had the thing up, I was able to play around with it while I was eating, and it Well, it's I had it I went upstairs 394 00:22:51,117 --> 00:22:59,816 with it on, and I sat down to eat, and then it w the overlay was over my family, and I was just able to eat in peace. 395 00:23:00,617 --> 00:23:01,437 No 396 00:23:01,771 --> 00:23:05,115 I mean I I I'm semi-joking, but I was trying it out just for the heck of it. 397 00:23:05,115 --> 00:23:06,456 I still like lifted up the head 398 00:23:06,456 --> 00:23:10,390 goggles after a little bit, but you could walk up, you could go eat something. 399 00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:14,014 Like you might get the headset messy because it'll splash up, but you you 400 00:23:14,014 --> 00:23:16,398 don't have to be outside the device. 401 00:23:16,398 --> 00:23:21,911 It's just all the other competitors, like all the MetaBasks, have color pass-through. 402 00:23:22,094 --> 00:23:22,890 Yeah. 403 00:23:23,153 --> 00:23:25,207 And hand gestures and other stuff. 404 00:23:25,207 --> 00:23:26,578 They're really behind 405 00:23:26,578 --> 00:23:29,310 on a lot of things and they have a lot of money. 406 00:23:29,310 --> 00:23:38,165 And you put it right, Gardner, like they want to be they like to be disruptors, they like to push things, and this doesn't feel like that in a lot of ways. 407 00:23:38,165 --> 00:23:38,345 And 408 00:23:38,345 --> 00:23:47,381 in in a lot of ways, it they could more so make it more acceptable price so that more people are excited about it. 409 00:23:47,381 --> 00:23:49,542 Cause even if they drop the price now. 410 00:23:49,674 --> 00:23:51,185 It kind of kills momentum. 411 00:23:51,185 --> 00:23:56,880 I I do think some of the momentum that people would be excited for before this is killed off by that price. 412 00:23:57,281 --> 00:23:59,503 Then on top of that, the software's not there. 413 00:23:59,503 --> 00:24:07,510 Like they've had a lot even more like I couldn't imagine what this would have been like if they would have released four months ago, five months ago. 414 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:13,015 In fact, I think part of the reason they delayed it wasn't because of cost in any way. 415 00:24:13,015 --> 00:24:16,157 It was actually because they're soft they just weren't ready software wise. 416 00:24:16,717 --> 00:24:17,793 Interesting. 417 00:24:18,048 --> 00:24:24,385 Which means that they need to hire more people, more engineers to actually work on this from a software standpoint. 418 00:24:24,385 --> 00:24:26,848 It's cool though, 'cause like you can go into desktop mode. 419 00:24:26,848 --> 00:24:35,228 Like if you go into it, there's a little thing where you can pop up like a browser or desktop mode and you don't have to get it out of game mode or whatever. 420 00:24:35,228 --> 00:24:35,670 Like 421 00:24:35,670 --> 00:24:42,532 I don't know how they do it, but you just load up the desktop mode and you can go in and start putting terminal commands in and everything. 422 00:24:42,532 --> 00:24:44,933 Like, it is cool in that aspect. 423 00:24:44,933 --> 00:24:45,399 So 424 00:24:45,399 --> 00:24:46,113 Mm. 425 00:24:46,113 --> 00:24:48,503 there's a lot of niceties to this. 426 00:24:48,503 --> 00:24:54,425 It's just ~ the game's not there. 427 00:24:54,425 --> 00:24:58,376 Like, I have probably 50 VR games, and I only had. 428 00:24:58,376 --> 00:25:03,037 And funny enough, I probably only have six that are compatible on the standalone. 429 00:25:04,818 --> 00:25:05,638 And 430 00:25:06,287 --> 00:25:06,617 Mm. 431 00:25:06,617 --> 00:25:18,746 But I do have like twelve because some of the like ~ call of the lamb, that cult of the lamb is standalone compatible, but it's only for, you know, the ~ 432 00:25:18,996 --> 00:25:20,207 theater mode kind of thing. 433 00:25:20,207 --> 00:25:21,587 It does it's not an actual VR game. 434 00:25:21,587 --> 00:25:24,581 It's just it's compatible with the device, which is kind of cool. 435 00:25:24,581 --> 00:25:29,626 So one day we might have a like a huge chunk of your library compatible with this. 436 00:25:29,626 --> 00:25:35,651 I've downloaded a few games that are not compatible or like marked compatible by Valve and they work fine. 437 00:25:35,651 --> 00:25:43,998 So ~ I think it's another one of those things where if it's an older if if whether it's a VR title or a game 438 00:25:44,675 --> 00:25:50,817 Fax is doing a a good job, but I'm really excited to see where it I I think of this as like the Steam Deck, right? 439 00:25:50,817 --> 00:25:54,678 The Steam Deck had a lot of compatibility issues the first year or two. 440 00:25:54,678 --> 00:26:00,839 And then it like now almost every game works really really well on the Steam Deck and Steam OS. 441 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,501 But it's probably even better than Windows. 442 00:26:05,501 --> 00:26:13,423 And so with the Steam frame, I think we're gonna ha see a similar thing happen to where you'll be able to play more and more games on ARM, which is very exciting. 443 00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,194 Mm, that will be cool. 444 00:26:15,194 --> 00:26:18,820 ~ Yeah. 445 00:26:18,820 --> 00:26:19,861 No no. 446 00:26:21,565 --> 00:26:22,155 It's it's 447 00:26:22,155 --> 00:26:22,636 all good, man. 448 00:26:22,636 --> 00:26:26,631 I mean it it sounds like that's been what you've been up to most of the week, huh? 449 00:26:27,303 --> 00:26:28,155 That and control. 450 00:26:28,155 --> 00:26:33,197 And honestly, I've had to pull myself away from control 'cause control's so good. 451 00:26:34,223 --> 00:26:35,654 It it's my game of 452 00:26:35,654 --> 00:26:36,946 the year, so 453 00:26:37,224 --> 00:26:37,625 cool. 454 00:26:37,625 --> 00:26:38,847 That's awesome. 455 00:26:39,069 --> 00:26:41,615 I'm curious, high tech, what have you been up to this week? 456 00:26:42,380 --> 00:26:45,175 Not playing on the steam frame and playing 457 00:26:45,175 --> 00:26:46,448 Elden Ring. 458 00:26:46,448 --> 00:26:48,461 And I've made it pretty far, all things considered. 459 00:26:48,461 --> 00:26:52,748 It was ~ I made it to I made it to past Lane Dell now. 460 00:26:52,748 --> 00:26:56,314 ~ JMG played Elden Ring, right? 461 00:26:56,564 --> 00:26:58,464 Two hours of Elden Ring, three hours. 462 00:26:58,464 --> 00:27:00,114 I dn yeah. 463 00:27:00,211 --> 00:27:03,886 I think I've made it to like the halfway point of the game, truth be told. 464 00:27:04,709 --> 00:27:05,299 Or maybe a little 465 00:27:05,299 --> 00:27:07,923 pat a little past the halfway point at this point, but yeah. 466 00:27:08,104 --> 00:27:11,017 I've heard I I need it it's one of those games that I need to sit down and play. 467 00:27:11,017 --> 00:27:13,957 It's just I don't like the universe too much right now. 468 00:27:13,957 --> 00:27:15,680 But no, maybe one day. 469 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,046 no one play no one plays the s no one plays the Dark Souls games for this story, dude. 470 00:27:20,046 --> 00:27:20,796 Just 471 00:27:21,075 --> 00:27:22,697 I'm saying the like the world I should say. 472 00:27:22,697 --> 00:27:25,912 Like the world's kind of frustrating how it's set up, but 473 00:27:26,042 --> 00:27:29,268 ~ Does it run on your Steam frame? 474 00:27:29,518 --> 00:27:30,590 That's a good question. 475 00:27:30,590 --> 00:27:33,103 I think there is a VR mode too, like mod. 476 00:27:33,103 --> 00:27:35,186 ~ 477 00:27:35,186 --> 00:27:35,627 mod. 478 00:27:35,627 --> 00:27:38,271 That sounds sm that sounds like a miserable time. 479 00:27:38,271 --> 00:27:39,648 Elden Ring and VR. 480 00:27:39,648 --> 00:27:40,909 I feel like I I feel like 481 00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:50,332 I'd die, but ~ no, I played so I played Elden Ring on the Steam Deck back when I was playing just mostly games on the Steam Deck and s and it just didn't run well enough for 482 00:27:50,332 --> 00:27:52,486 me, so I never got back to it. 483 00:27:52,486 --> 00:27:55,757 I i maybe on the Steam machine I will, but 484 00:27:55,757 --> 00:27:57,668 Yeah, do it on the Steam Machine. 485 00:27:57,918 --> 00:28:02,078 But yeah, I think ~ yeah, I'm I'm I'm having a good time with it. 486 00:28:02,078 --> 00:28:11,848 I'm ~ I haven't gotten the DLC just yet, but hopefully by the time I get around to beating the game, the DLC go on sale. 487 00:28:12,097 --> 00:28:12,938 Mm. 488 00:28:13,188 --> 00:28:13,771 Yeah. 489 00:28:13,771 --> 00:28:15,211 that that's been my week. 490 00:28:15,211 --> 00:28:16,677 How about you, Gardner? 491 00:28:17,354 --> 00:28:17,725 man. 492 00:28:17,725 --> 00:28:21,281 This week I ~ I've done a little bit of gaming. 493 00:28:21,281 --> 00:28:26,491 It's mostly like for my own game ~ uppercase, which I'm really excited about. 494 00:28:26,491 --> 00:28:28,033 ~ 495 00:28:28,283 --> 00:28:28,914 Yeah. 496 00:28:28,914 --> 00:28:34,960 It was I had a b I had a I had a bunch of fun like adding some score features to the game. 497 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,593 ~ haven't pub published them live yet. 498 00:28:37,593 --> 00:28:43,250 I'm still working on kind of polishing them up and fixing edge case issues with the scoreboard. 499 00:28:43,250 --> 00:28:48,155 That's been like the the the real trip up that I've had recently. 500 00:28:50,043 --> 00:28:56,039 And then I I went to a wedding last week, which y I had to dik ditch out of the episode early last week because of that. 501 00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:57,480 And that was really fun. 502 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,162 Like got to see a bunch of Emily's family. 503 00:29:00,543 --> 00:29:01,824 So that's what I've been doing. 504 00:29:01,824 --> 00:29:02,665 Yeah. 505 00:29:03,384 --> 00:29:04,905 That's pretty cool, man. 506 00:29:05,386 --> 00:29:09,461 Man, but man, we got we gotta talk about the excitement, man. 507 00:29:09,461 --> 00:29:11,658 We gotta talk about what happened to our channel. 508 00:29:11,658 --> 00:29:16,440 yes, we do because our channel just hit a thousand subscribers. 509 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,521 Hell yeah. 510 00:29:17,521 --> 00:29:18,621 So if you 511 00:29:19,162 --> 00:29:21,873 if you haven't if you haven't followed us yet, go 512 00:29:21,873 --> 00:29:24,824 over to YouTube and hit that subscribe button. 513 00:29:24,824 --> 00:29:29,786 We are ~ you know, we're we're over a thousand now, which is very exciting. 514 00:29:29,786 --> 00:29:32,857 ~ I don't do we qualify for monetization yet? 515 00:29:32,857 --> 00:29:34,148 I don't even know. 516 00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:34,654 ~ 517 00:29:34,654 --> 00:29:35,577 bit now. 518 00:29:35,611 --> 00:29:37,463 I think we do wait, well it's 519 00:29:37,463 --> 00:29:38,114 well hold on. 520 00:29:38,114 --> 00:29:42,617 Let we got what what are the requirements for wa w how much watch time how many watch time hours do we have 521 00:29:42,617 --> 00:29:48,304 they moved it to seven fifty and then I'm pretty sure it's probably still ten thousand or something like that in a year. 522 00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:50,306 How many do we have? 523 00:29:50,306 --> 00:29:51,325 That's the thing. 524 00:29:51,325 --> 00:29:54,111 Should I show this on the screen? 525 00:29:54,111 --> 00:29:56,916 ~ Ern? 526 00:29:57,695 --> 00:30:01,320 the the whole ph this is a very behind the scenes, but yeah. 527 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,191 The whole reason why we've 528 00:30:02,191 --> 00:30:07,693 pushed off on all this is because doing setting this all up legally is annoying. 529 00:30:07,693 --> 00:30:08,593 Yeah. 530 00:30:08,734 --> 00:30:09,376 But ~ 531 00:30:09,376 --> 00:30:10,095 later. 532 00:30:10,095 --> 00:30:11,756 we

we've got 565 00:31:47,867 --> 00:31:49,737 We got a bunch to talk about this week. 566 00:31:49,737 --> 00:31:50,379 ~ 567 00:31:50,379 --> 00:31:54,902 the first story, ~ ridiculous gaming patents. 568 00:31:55,924 --> 00:31:57,685 and I can bring that up right here. 569 00:31:57,685 --> 00:32:02,709 My Xbox patent would trade ads for 15 minutes of gameplay. 570 00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:04,210 What is this? 571 00:32:04,210 --> 00:32:07,247 This is this seems like end game and shitification. 572 00:32:07,247 --> 00:32:14,179 So, essentially Microsoft patented a system where it would detect when there would be a quote break period. 573 00:32:14,179 --> 00:32:23,842 They would try I guess I would try to f use AI to figure out when would be the best time to break an ad break out an ad, because let's be real, it would it would be sh it's ads 574 00:32:23,842 --> 00:32:28,003 are shitty in general, but it would be even more shitty if it were during gameplay. 575 00:32:28,003 --> 00:32:28,233 Like 576 00:32:28,233 --> 00:32:33,975 you were fighting a boss and then the boss was about to land an attack and then boop ad pops up, you 577 00:32:33,975 --> 00:32:35,685 watch the fifteen minute second ad 578 00:32:35,685 --> 00:32:38,811 And then you broke it broke your concentration. 579 00:32:38,811 --> 00:32:40,823 You can't dodge the attack now. 580 00:32:41,694 --> 00:32:43,948 Suddenly, Red Bull, it gives you wings. 581 00:32:43,948 --> 00:32:46,894 You're like what? 582 00:32:47,006 --> 00:32:56,640 how fucking insidious would it be though if your if ads on Xbox forced you to play a fucking minigame? 583 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,841 I can see that happening. 584 00:32:58,841 --> 00:33:01,822 So I that would be ridiculous. 585 00:33:01,822 --> 00:33:06,554 I'm gonna go a little dirt like how is this patentable? 586 00:33:06,554 --> 00:33:10,111 How can you patent a way to fucking serve ads? 587 00:33:10,111 --> 00:33:10,871 Mm. 588 00:33:11,167 --> 00:33:12,357 So we 589 00:33:12,375 --> 00:33:17,667 that is like the precipice of like insidification of like, yeah, no, the government's in part of it. 590 00:33:17,667 --> 00:33:19,998 Yeah, no, you can go ahead and just patent that. 591 00:33:20,358 --> 00:33:21,085 Ugh. 592 00:33:21,085 --> 00:33:29,866 So essentially, ~ they would detect when would be a good time to t the show an ad, like I don't know, beginning of a cutscene or something like that. 593 00:33:29,866 --> 00:33:31,828 And then it would serve you an ad. 594 00:33:31,828 --> 00:33:34,771 And then you get to watch the cutscene. 595 00:33:35,021 --> 00:33:38,117 There is nothing that takes you more out of a experience than ads. 596 00:33:38,117 --> 00:33:39,119 And let me tell you, there's a 597 00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:42,384 reason why people love watching movies in the theaters. 598 00:33:42,786 --> 00:33:46,221 Because they don't show ads during the th during the movie. 599 00:33:46,412 --> 00:33:47,318 Yet. 600 00:33:47,568 --> 00:33:48,731 I feel like if they 601 00:33:48,731 --> 00:33:51,935 were gonna do that they'd have done it like decades ago. 602 00:33:52,753 --> 00:33:54,295 no dude, it's coming. 603 00:33:54,725 --> 00:33:56,387 It's what do you mean it's coming? 604 00:33:56,548 --> 00:33:59,554 It's like dude, they're g it's going to happen. 605 00:33:59,736 --> 00:34:04,087 Like ~ most most movie theaters are not even making profit right now. 606 00:34:04,087 --> 00:34:04,878 Like 607 00:34:05,144 --> 00:34:06,445 great amounts of profit. 608 00:34:06,445 --> 00:34:07,495 I d I still don't know. 609 00:34:07,495 --> 00:34:11,508 I don't I don't trust anything these frickin' corporations say, but they're we 610 00:34:11,508 --> 00:34:21,354 have three or four no, we have four different comp ~ pla like comp competitive ~ theaters in my area. 611 00:34:21,354 --> 00:34:22,445 So they have to compete. 612 00:34:22,445 --> 00:34:29,427 So this is where at least capitalism's gonna help unless they do like an antitrust lawsuit of like get together or or ~ yeah. 613 00:34:29,427 --> 00:34:30,725 like a cartel. 614 00:34:31,014 --> 00:34:31,508 Yeah. 615 00:34:31,508 --> 00:34:33,367 We need we need just really 616 00:34:33,367 --> 00:34:34,579 the monitor companies did. 617 00:34:34,579 --> 00:34:40,539 They they like all the monitors or TV companies that came together like we're gonna agree on this price. 618 00:34:40,539 --> 00:34:40,980 They 619 00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:42,642 and stop being competitive. 620 00:34:42,897 --> 00:34:43,264 Right. 621 00:34:43,264 --> 00:34:43,753 ~ 622 00:34:43,753 --> 00:34:45,115 Rico everywhere. 623 00:34:45,115 --> 00:34:46,176 Like just 624 00:34:46,176 --> 00:34:49,359 Rico charges against every fucking company. 625 00:34:49,681 --> 00:34:54,103 Yo, so th so they posted some examples of what this would entail. 626 00:34:54,103 --> 00:34:56,405 Like for example, loading screen. 627 00:34:56,405 --> 00:34:58,516 You get to wa you get to watch an ad. 628 00:34:58,516 --> 00:35:01,367 ~ end of a end of a round. 629 00:35:01,387 --> 00:35:03,748 You get to watch an ad. 630 00:35:04,068 --> 00:35:05,061 Level completion. 631 00:35:05,061 --> 00:35:06,550 You get to watch an ad. 632 00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:06,800 End 633 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,410 of a narrative chapter. 634 00:35:08,581 --> 00:35:10,131 You get to watch an ad. 635 00:35:10,131 --> 00:35:13,183 ~ during the tran chapter transition. 636 00:35:13,183 --> 00:35:15,024 ~ safe location. 637 00:35:15,024 --> 00:35:15,754 Team based. 638 00:35:15,754 --> 00:35:16,435 Time based. 639 00:35:16,435 --> 00:35:18,021 Yada yada yada ad. 640 00:35:18,021 --> 00:35:19,132 ~ 641 00:35:19,132 --> 00:35:23,277 Finishing an online match, add, beating an opponent, add. 642 00:35:23,277 --> 00:35:29,654 Imagine if you played like League of Legends and then like er between rounds you had to watch an ad to play a new round. 643 00:35:29,712 --> 00:35:30,592 Mm. 644 00:35:30,883 --> 00:35:32,566 It'd give me more reason not to play it. 645 00:35:32,566 --> 00:35:41,141 I love League of Legends, don't get me wrong, but it's one of the places where I wish there was IDs, 'cause I hate playing with random people on that game. 646 00:35:41,141 --> 00:35:41,923 I hate it. 647 00:35:41,923 --> 00:35:42,984 They're such assholes. 648 00:35:42,984 --> 00:35:44,526 They're such horrible people. 649 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:55,380 Let's see, there are there are some things that are not on the list, like mid combat interruptions, cutscene overlays, forced pauses during player in active player input. 650 00:35:55,380 --> 00:36:00,885 Dude, imagine if you pause the game by pressing start, because you had to go P or something. 651 00:36:00,986 --> 00:36:01,215 And 652 00:36:01,215 --> 00:36:04,007 then when you press start, it plays NAD. 653 00:36:04,007 --> 00:36:04,667 And then 654 00:36:04,667 --> 00:36:08,198 you can like ~ manage your inventory or whatever. 655 00:36:08,818 --> 00:36:13,910 Dude, anytime you yeah, anytime you drop into the inventory screen, you get an ad first. 656 00:36:13,911 --> 00:36:19,313 And then and then if you pause the game, your smart TV's going to put an ad on your screen. 657 00:36:19,313 --> 00:36:20,974 So, you know, it's 658 00:36:20,974 --> 00:36:22,745 I I know, yeah, that's what I'm saying. 659 00:36:22,745 --> 00:36:25,263 Like they're going to be it's 660 00:36:25,263 --> 00:36:31,113 I think it's an LG and I it will start playing music and then in that music though it will have ads. 661 00:36:31,113 --> 00:36:34,438 It will just automatically play music and then it will play ads. 662 00:36:34,481 --> 00:36:41,765 I have an LG TV as well and I have never connected it to my Wi-Fi because ~ there's no reason to. 663 00:36:41,765 --> 00:36:43,696 Who gives a shit what LG has to say? 664 00:36:43,696 --> 00:36:44,442 I use 665 00:36:44,442 --> 00:36:45,296 ads? 666 00:36:46,047 --> 00:36:47,108 Yeah, I don't know. 667 00:36:47,108 --> 00:36:48,228 I would imagine it would. 668 00:36:48,228 --> 00:36:51,250 It's LG But I've never I've 669 00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:54,786 never fucking connected it to the internet, so ~ it wouldn't 670 00:36:54,786 --> 00:36:58,935 you know, some TVs are coming with ads like built in so that even 671 00:36:58,935 --> 00:37:03,150 if you don't connect it to the internet, you get ads. 672 00:37:03,150 --> 00:37:04,991 said, Roku doesn't cost money. 673 00:37:04,991 --> 00:37:06,191 Here's my thing. 674 00:37:06,852 --> 00:37:08,734 Here's my thing with ads, I guess. 675 00:37:08,734 --> 00:37:12,596 If I'm paying money, it's because I don't want to see ads. 676 00:37:12,657 --> 00:37:17,060 If you want to make it the service free to where I have to see ads, okay, cool. 677 00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:18,121 We can do that. 678 00:37:18,121 --> 00:37:23,845 But even Disney, for people that buy Disney, now Disney's implementing ads. 679 00:37:23,845 --> 00:37:24,756 I don't know if they're gonna 680 00:37:24,756 --> 00:37:25,856 do a reduced tier. 681 00:37:25,856 --> 00:37:27,047 We'll see, but 682 00:37:27,609 --> 00:37:30,680 I don't want to see ads in certain areas. 683 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:31,500 Some areas I don't 684 00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:33,299 care because I get they need to make money. 685 00:37:33,299 --> 00:37:34,421 I get it. 686 00:37:35,262 --> 00:37:41,014 But either give me an option to remove ads or make the product free if you're gonna 687 00:37:41,014 --> 00:37:41,524 be doing ads. 688 00:37:41,524 --> 00:37:47,798 But they're in shitifying everything because they wanna eke out more money every place. 689 00:37:47,798 --> 00:37:48,599 dude. 690 00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,060 Okay, check this out. 691 00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:52,042 I have YouTube Premium. 692 00:37:52,623 --> 00:37:57,187 Recently, I have started seeing ads with YouTube Premium. 693 00:37:57,187 --> 00:38:02,522 Not pre-rolls or mid-rolls, but fucking like this is a suggested video. 694 00:38:02,522 --> 00:38:06,055 Like and the next up is being replaced by an ad. 695 00:38:06,055 --> 00:38:07,116 Or like 696 00:38:07,477 --> 00:38:12,103 when search results have ads in them and I'm like, what the fuck am I paying for? 697 00:38:12,103 --> 00:38:14,867 Right, if it's not to get rid of ads. 698 00:38:14,867 --> 00:38:21,055 So I literally am thinking about like just ending ending it and doing something else. 699 00:38:21,218 --> 00:38:22,618 no, life's worth living. 700 00:38:22,618 --> 00:38:24,203 Ads won't aren't 701 00:38:25,014 --> 00:38:28,976 what I was thinking. 702 00:38:29,817 --> 00:38:30,738 You can't say I'm 703 00:38:30,738 --> 00:38:32,819 gonna end it on the internet. 704 00:38:33,454 --> 00:38:34,345 I meant ending 705 00:38:34,345 --> 00:38:38,579 my pr ~ YouTube premium subscription, but that was funny. 706 00:38:38,579 --> 00:38:38,780 That 707 00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:39,950 was really good. 708 00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:41,340 ~ that 709 00:38:41,340 --> 00:38:44,075 should be that should be the cold opening. 710 00:38:44,628 --> 00:38:45,788 All right. 711 00:38:45,788 --> 00:38:54,563 speaking of other shitty things, Sony's patent could turn PlayStation controllers into pat tap to pay credit card terminals. 712 00:38:54,813 --> 00:38:55,188 So 713 00:38:55,188 --> 00:38:56,998 already have NFC in it? 714 00:38:58,431 --> 00:39:00,793 I think you're thinking of Nintendo's controllers. 715 00:39:00,793 --> 00:39:01,763 Nintendo controllers 716 00:39:01,763 --> 00:39:03,910 have NFC for like their amiibo stuff. 717 00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:04,556 Yeah. 718 00:39:04,556 --> 00:39:05,397 It does 719 00:39:05,397 --> 00:39:11,221 as far as I'm aware, it does not accept credit cards on like the Joy on the Joy-Cons. 720 00:39:11,502 --> 00:39:12,793 Not yet anyways, I'm sure 721 00:39:12,793 --> 00:39:15,950 I'm sure Nintendo could issue an update. 722 00:39:15,950 --> 00:39:18,302 that would be trivial to implement if it already has NFC. 723 00:39:18,302 --> 00:39:24,085 I mean I know the Joy Cons do, but like I was curious if Playstation has already or not. 724 00:39:24,085 --> 00:39:26,857 Yes, I don't I don't believe the dual senses do. 725 00:39:26,857 --> 00:39:27,312 Mm. 726 00:39:27,312 --> 00:39:29,856 But PlayStation six, who knows? 727 00:39:29,856 --> 00:39:34,485 Maybe they'll bring back the stupid fucking banana controller and put like a pay terminal on that. 728 00:39:34,485 --> 00:39:36,249 ~ 729 00:39:36,249 --> 00:39:37,079 no. 730 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,281 It's gonna be that yeah, that you're like, well, it's a free-to-play game. 731 00:39:41,281 --> 00:39:47,323 Hey, if you want to continue playing, you died, but you can be resurrected by just tapping your credit card. 732 00:39:47,323 --> 00:39:49,397 ~ 733 00:39:49,397 --> 00:39:50,244 here. 734 00:39:50,244 --> 00:39:58,706 Yeah, I thought this was more nefarious, th and then as I got thinking about it, I'm like, more or less, I think this is probably gonna be a way for them to and I don't know 735 00:39:58,706 --> 00:40:06,888 actually if you can do this, but maybe an easier way to attach a credit card to your account, but I don't know that's not actually how tap to pay. 736 00:40:06,888 --> 00:40:11,188 ~ credit card tap to pay works like you can't 737 00:40:11,188 --> 00:40:27,037 it can't store credentials it's a temporary ID in fact that's why it's more it's safer is because it usually utilizes a temporary ID but ~ I don't know like this is I don't ~ it's 738 00:40:27,037 --> 00:40:31,886 like you want to pay so you just tap I don't know it feels so dystopian 739 00:40:31,886 --> 00:40:40,150 this is what like I've been talking about like I believe money should be cash only. 740 00:40:40,630 --> 00:40:48,394 Like because this is just another example of removing friction from the from the buying process, right? 741 00:40:48,394 --> 00:40:55,604 And like I like all of the ways that like they're they're nickel and diming you and like ~ 742 00:40:55,604 --> 00:41:01,968 putting ads in your face and it's like, if you want to s quit if you want to quit this ad early, tap your fucking credit card, dude. 743 00:41:01,968 --> 00:41:03,408 Tap your debit card on the thing. 744 00:41:03,408 --> 00:41:08,942 It's like I I just everything all of what they're doing is they're removing friction. 745 00:41:08,942 --> 00:41:18,447 And when when when you hear them talk about removing friction, what they're doing is making it easier for you to be monetized. 746 00:41:18,927 --> 00:41:20,268 Because you're a product to 747 00:41:20,268 --> 00:41:20,728 them. 748 00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:22,439 You're not the actual 749 00:41:22,897 --> 00:41:29,789 ~ and so I think money should be cash only and it should only ever move by human hands, personally. 750 00:41:30,011 --> 00:41:36,101 I think I think everything right now have you guys read the the book by Cory Doctorow? 751 00:41:36,636 --> 00:41:37,432 No. 752 00:41:37,713 --> 00:41:42,605 It's called it's called well th he was the guy who who coined the term insidification and he just came 753 00:41:42,605 --> 00:41:43,165 out with a new one. 754 00:41:43,165 --> 00:41:49,498 I haven't ~ read it yet, but the idea is called ~ is reverse centaur, right? 755 00:41:49,498 --> 00:41:58,862 Like so a centaur is a human b like upper body and a horse ~ you know, horse legs or whatever. 756 00:41:58,862 --> 00:42:07,079 And the idea is in a in a working and a functioning like capitalist society, the the capital is what 757 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:14,294 you know, the the private companies own and they invest capital into creating centaurs. 758 00:42:14,294 --> 00:42:20,258 So people like operating the machinery become centaurs. 759 00:42:20,258 --> 00:42:23,380 They're they're they're more productive, they're more capable. 760 00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:27,903 A reverse centaur is when the capital is driving humans. 761 00:42:27,903 --> 00:42:31,305 And that is what we have right now with Amazon. 762 00:42:31,305 --> 00:42:31,556 It's 763 00:42:31,556 --> 00:42:36,769 what we have with you know Amazon drivers are are being d driven by 764 00:42:37,001 --> 00:42:46,149 ~ by the capital, by the by the organization, rather than having them being autonomous and being augmented. 765 00:42:46,149 --> 00:42:50,622 And so I I don't remember why I came up with this, why I was talking about this. 766 00:42:50,622 --> 00:43:01,662 But anyway, the idea is like everything that's going on right now, we have algorithms driving ~ people's attention rather than people choosing to spend their attention. 767 00:43:01,662 --> 00:43:04,464 And this is just another example of of that. 768 00:43:04,464 --> 00:43:05,765 ~ 769 00:43:05,768 --> 00:43:09,543 And I just feel like everything needs to be brought back to human scale. 770 00:43:09,624 --> 00:43:15,903 And right now because everything right now is at algorithm and mass you know, massive data scale. 771 00:43:15,903 --> 00:43:19,087 And it's like we can't we can't sustain it. 772 00:43:19,683 --> 00:43:27,310 I think honestly the ~ one of the biggest ways to fix it would be to start regulating the the big companies again. 773 00:43:27,310 --> 00:43:33,546 Cause they usually what they do is they put in regulations that help them and squash up and coming small businesses. 774 00:43:33,546 --> 00:43:35,618 We need to focus on small and medium businesses again. 775 00:43:35,618 --> 00:43:36,418 But 776 00:43:36,716 --> 00:43:37,721 We need a wide, 777 00:43:37,721 --> 00:43:39,398 stable economy. 778 00:43:39,512 --> 00:43:40,292 Yeah. 779 00:43:40,292 --> 00:43:43,454 It it's you're not wrong on that. 780 00:43:43,454 --> 00:43:45,165 We really need that and we're seeing 781 00:43:45,165 --> 00:43:47,976 is it we're gonna be hitting a huge wall soon. 782 00:43:47,976 --> 00:43:49,427 We're already almost there. 783 00:43:49,427 --> 00:43:51,455 ~ people everywhere feels it. 784 00:43:51,455 --> 00:43:54,540 Like th you can't deny that unless you're, I guess, 785 00:43:54,540 --> 00:43:57,221 rich and you just don't understand. 786 00:43:57,221 --> 00:44:03,514 But all I gotta say is if they went to we went to cash only, that PS controller right there 787 00:44:03,514 --> 00:44:05,411 Is going to have a little money insert. 788 00:44:05,411 --> 00:44:08,531 So they're gonna have to come collect your controllers every once in while. 789 00:44:08,531 --> 00:44:09,297 So 790 00:44:09,297 --> 00:44:10,841 a coin a co little coin 791 00:44:10,841 --> 00:44:12,778 slot, just like the arcades. 792 00:44:12,778 --> 00:44:13,479 I 793 00:44:13,479 --> 00:44:27,951 one t like back when I first started my YouTube channel, I had a a a merch thing of the original ~ or of the ~ I guess it was when the Series S came out or series X, 'cause I had 794 00:44:27,951 --> 00:44:32,116 a Series X and I had it it had a little coin slot like you'd have in a in 795 00:44:32,116 --> 00:44:34,848 an arcade and I was like, that's that's social commentary. 796 00:44:34,848 --> 00:44:37,681 And I was selling it that t shirt and I thought it was pretty funny. 797 00:44:37,681 --> 00:44:38,291 Yeah. 798 00:44:38,291 --> 00:44:39,145 sick. 799 00:44:39,395 --> 00:44:40,288 Yeah. 800 00:44:40,780 --> 00:44:41,783 I don't know. 801 00:44:41,958 --> 00:44:46,080 I don't think this is I don't know. 802 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:58,087 We're gonna have to see some regulations on I think industries making it because we're also in that like gambler area, ~ era where there's a lot of gambling companies. 803 00:44:58,087 --> 00:45:02,852 They don't wanna they they call it prediction markets, but it's the stupidest thing in the world, it's gambling. 804 00:45:02,852 --> 00:45:03,668 Mm. 805 00:45:04,071 --> 00:45:05,772 we're with this 806 00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:13,702 Like we're gonna have to solve it somehow because we're gonna be so indebted to where it the whole thing's gonna collapse. 807 00:45:13,702 --> 00:45:19,234 You can only be indebted so much to the big companies before v if they can't make any more profit, what happens? 808 00:45:19,234 --> 00:45:20,124 And it is getting 809 00:45:20,124 --> 00:45:23,916 very close to where they're not gonna be able to make any more profit. 810 00:45:23,916 --> 00:45:33,620 They're not gonna be able to grow, and it's and how the market works is you're a lame duck, you're done if you're not growing. 811 00:45:33,620 --> 00:45:34,980 And that's not how 812 00:45:35,116 --> 00:45:37,277 you you can't have infinite growth. 813 00:45:37,818 --> 00:45:44,044 At one point, your market place, your your what is it? 814 00:45:44,044 --> 00:45:47,006 Your your your market, your I guess that's right. 815 00:45:47,006 --> 00:45:49,889 Your your market is going to not just you just can't grow. 816 00:45:49,889 --> 00:45:50,409 They're trying 817 00:45:50,409 --> 00:45:50,699 to. 818 00:45:50,699 --> 00:46:00,908 You can see these big companies, they they start to jet out and do different ventures and different ~ facets, but like it doesn't you can only ha like, I don't know. 819 00:46:00,908 --> 00:46:03,260 I feel like you can only go so far before 820 00:46:03,564 --> 00:46:07,347 you lose the the genius behind w what the company is. 821 00:46:07,347 --> 00:46:12,102 Like V Valve started doing TVs, you know, it probably wouldn't work. 822 00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:15,695 Like we're already seeing some of their overextending having some issues. 823 00:46:15,695 --> 00:46:18,388 ~ with the Steam Machine, Steam Frame. 824 00:46:18,388 --> 00:46:23,142 Don't get me wrong, I I think they're good, but they're overextended. 825 00:46:23,142 --> 00:46:29,487 If they're thinking that they can release this in an incomplete state, why can't they release Half Life three or Episode Three? 826 00:46:29,548 --> 00:46:30,248 So 827 00:46:30,543 --> 00:46:31,223 Yeah. 828 00:46:31,223 --> 00:46:43,270 I guess ~ the final thing I wanna say on this is ~ if you ~ don't like the way that these big companies are going, there are a couple ways you can protest it. 829 00:46:43,270 --> 00:46:47,432 One of them is the civil disobedience of emulation. 830 00:46:47,432 --> 00:46:48,272 You like that? 831 00:46:48,272 --> 00:46:52,774 ~ 832 00:46:52,993 --> 00:46:54,764 I have a article over on the Bryant Review. 833 00:46:54,764 --> 00:47:00,166 It's called I think it's called something like ~ evolu emulation as civil disobedience. 834 00:47:00,166 --> 00:47:06,189 And and this is pretty cool because there's now an open source PS5 emulator. 835 00:47:06,189 --> 00:47:10,151 Or I guess it's not really an emul is it emulation or is this like the recomp? 836 00:47:10,313 --> 00:47:13,834 So it's hard to say what this is really. 837 00:47:13,834 --> 00:47:16,455 It's not it's not emulation the way that we know it. 838 00:47:16,455 --> 00:47:17,485 It's it seems 839 00:47:17,485 --> 00:47:20,333 like it's more like a recompilation, essentially. 840 00:47:20,333 --> 00:47:27,258 It dumps it runs PS5 games natively, and it is still work in progress. 841 00:47:27,798 --> 00:47:28,217 But 842 00:47:28,217 --> 00:47:38,993 is like this is like a proton style layer where you can you just you the the code is already compiled for your CPU because you have just like the PlayStation 5, your CPU on 843 00:47:38,993 --> 00:47:42,114 your PC is x86 based. 844 00:47:42,555 --> 00:47:49,497 And this is just translating the system calls into something that your operating system can understand, which is pretty neat. 845 00:47:49,497 --> 00:47:52,089 it's ~ it is work in progress though. 846 00:47:52,089 --> 00:47:56,122 ~ but we have seen a lot of improvement with PS five emulation as of recent. 847 00:47:56,122 --> 00:47:57,273 I've seen ~ 848 00:47:57,273 --> 00:48:03,558 we've seen Kai Tai ~ run Demon Souls remake at like thirty FPS, which is kinda 849 00:48:03,558 --> 00:48:03,808 in 850 00:48:03,808 --> 00:48:06,431 certain areas it's kinda crazy. 851 00:48:06,431 --> 00:48:08,602 We've seen Astrobot run at 852 00:48:08,621 --> 00:48:09,043 Yeah. 853 00:48:09,043 --> 00:48:12,534 I don't know if I'd say playable, but like semi playable frame rates. 854 00:48:12,534 --> 00:48:13,364 Mm. 855 00:48:13,446 --> 00:48:17,990 It's it's it's wild what people are capable of when they're pissed off at Sony. 856 00:48:18,045 --> 00:48:22,537 this is gonna be a bigger thing too because Sony decided not to release PC games. 857 00:48:22,537 --> 00:48:26,078 We got a taste, and they also have PC backed hardware. 858 00:48:26,078 --> 00:48:27,358 So we'll 859 00:48:27,358 --> 00:48:37,432 see what they try to do, because they're gonna, you know, them and and Nintendo are gonna be really vigilant, I think, in the next generation, these next generations to kind of 860 00:48:37,432 --> 00:48:38,932 squash this, but we'll see. 861 00:48:38,932 --> 00:48:39,992 We'll see what they do. 862 00:48:39,992 --> 00:48:42,153 But it's gonna happen more and more. 863 00:48:42,328 --> 00:48:50,723 Well, last time Sony tried to squash something like this, I don't know if you guys recall, Sony sued a company back in like the nineties and they lost. 864 00:48:50,723 --> 00:48:57,355 And that essenti yeah, bleam and that's essentially what gave emulation its protection status in the US. 865 00:48:57,355 --> 00:48:58,235 Mm-hmm. 866 00:48:58,996 --> 00:48:59,557 Yeah. 867 00:48:59,557 --> 00:49:15,149 And I think, I genuinely believe that like these companies are so outrageously immoral and like socially destructive that the the ethic the most ethical way to play any of these 868 00:49:15,149 --> 00:49:19,072 games is via emulation through unofficial channels. 869 00:49:19,092 --> 00:49:21,374 And even if that means like 870 00:49:21,698 --> 00:49:37,408 you know, copyright infringement, I think that that is such a minor ~ like my opinion is it is morally okay if to to infringe on copyright if ~ it is done in protest or in civil 871 00:49:37,408 --> 00:49:38,249 disobedience. 872 00:49:38,249 --> 00:49:40,570 ~ that's what I believe. 873 00:49:40,820 --> 00:49:50,112 I'm yeah, I I'm there's that and then also if you own the and I they could say they can label however they want, but if I'm paying fifty dollars for a game 874 00:49:50,112 --> 00:49:50,637 Mm. 875 00:49:50,637 --> 00:49:57,015 and I wanna play it on my PC, I have the right to pay ~ b be able to play what I bought the way I want. 876 00:49:57,015 --> 00:49:57,877 Yes. 877 00:49:58,428 --> 00:49:59,360 Agreed. 878 00:49:59,533 --> 00:50:09,643 Yeah, and you know p you know ~ b I forgot to mention that Steam actually bans the act of using advertisements in games on Steam. 879 00:50:09,643 --> 00:50:10,264 I mean 880 00:50:10,264 --> 00:50:21,715 you can't have like mobile style like ad interruptions on any of your Steam games, ~ 'cause it breaks their law it breaks their rules actively, so yeah, play play your games 881 00:50:21,715 --> 00:50:22,446 on PC. 882 00:50:22,446 --> 00:50:23,927 Move to it permanently. 883 00:50:23,981 --> 00:50:24,761 Mm. 884 00:50:24,966 --> 00:50:27,639 Well we'll see w what happens with that. 885 00:50:27,639 --> 00:50:30,082 They've rolled black certain things. 886 00:50:30,082 --> 00:50:31,423 I don't think they will necessarily. 887 00:50:31,423 --> 00:50:41,383 And and I think the Xbox and the PlayStation, those types of patents are potentially ones that they're researching, they're figuring ways out that they might use that they may or 888 00:50:41,383 --> 00:50:42,223 may not use, you know. 889 00:50:42,223 --> 00:50:43,865 ~ but 890 00:50:43,865 --> 00:50:49,510 a patent is very useful for ~ 891 00:50:50,311 --> 00:50:53,825 for padding your portfolio for your company and makes your company worth more. 892 00:50:53,825 --> 00:50:57,390 So we've seen lots of patents not come to fruition before. 893 00:50:57,390 --> 00:51:06,161 ~ and this could just be one of those cases where they're like they're gonna be patenting it just so that they have it there in case maybe they do want to use it or maybe they just 894 00:51:06,161 --> 00:51:07,162 want it for the portfolio. 895 00:51:07,162 --> 00:51:09,305 So this is not like an ~ 896 00:51:09,305 --> 00:51:10,196 They're gonna do it yet. 897 00:51:10,196 --> 00:51:13,142 I mean, Microsoft probably will somehow on their Xbox. 898 00:51:13,142 --> 00:51:17,890 I they're probably patenting it and you gonna use it for their Xbox Game Pass. 899 00:51:17,890 --> 00:51:19,453 I can almost guarantee that. 900 00:51:19,453 --> 00:51:21,956 But everywhere else we're probably safe for a while. 901 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,143 Mm. 902 00:51:23,437 --> 00:51:25,587 Yeah, it's it's some shit, man. 903 00:51:25,837 --> 00:51:26,777 Yep. 904 00:51:26,958 --> 00:51:29,159 Speaking of

is like what, four hundred? 918 00:52:08,441 --> 00:52:10,334 Five hundred, six hundred That's crazy. 919 00:52:10,334 --> 00:52:15,952 I thought face I thought Facebook's business model was buying our date selling our data. 920 00:52:15,952 --> 00:52:18,215 I thought that's why they could subsidize so much. 921 00:52:18,215 --> 00:52:19,565 What happened Facebook? 922 00:52:19,565 --> 00:52:26,578 Well now they're they're a private company. 923 00:52:26,578 --> 00:52:28,742 Have they ~ they're a privacy company. 924 00:52:28,742 --> 00:52:29,602 Yeah. 925 00:52:30,145 -->

but 929 00:52:34,330 --> 00:52:38,895 of the privacy thing, did you see their new AI thing that they are promoting? 930 00:52:38,895 --> 00:52:50,107 And they're saying that like it I can't remember what it's called, but like they it's like supposedly you pay a premium and the AI is running in a Linux virtual machine and ~ and 931 00:52:50,107 --> 00:52:53,240 they don't have access to the virtual machine is what they say. 932 00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:55,062 Fucking liars, dude. 933 00:52:55,062 --> 00:52:56,432 They're s there's 934 00:52:56,769 --> 00:52:57,871 I screw them. 935 00:52:57,871 --> 00:52:59,192 I don't I don't like meta. 936 00:52:59,192 --> 00:52:59,913 Like 937 00:52:59,913 --> 00:53:00,481 all around. 938 00:53:00,481 --> 00:53:04,697 I I fe I feel ashamed every time but I do it for my wife. 939 00:53:04,737 --> 00:53:06,639 I use Instagram. 940 00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:08,301 And that's all. 941 00:53:08,301 --> 00:53:11,273 Facebook for friends, and I don't even post there. 942 00:53:11,273 --> 00:53:15,467 I just keep it to keep track of old friends and I probably should try to figure out how a 943 00:53:15,467 --> 00:53:19,511 way to move them over somewhere else, if I do care about them, I guess. 944 00:53:19,511 --> 00:53:20,869 Or just move on. 945 00:53:20,869 --> 00:53:22,094 truth be told. 946 00:53:22,094 --> 00:53:23,895 Probably should, but I mean they 947 00:53:23,895 --> 00:53:24,596 use Facebook. 948 00:53:24,596 --> 00:53:25,367 That that's the thing. 949 00:53:25,367 --> 00:53:34,193 Every time I get on Facebook, man, my my I I'm a very optimistic person at times and I bec like I'm more cynical these days and it's partially 'cause of Facebook. 950 00:53:35,014 --> 00:53:36,655 They've made me a cynic 'cause 951 00:53:36,655 --> 00:53:40,618 it is horrible amounts of misinformation on there. 952 00:53:40,618 --> 00:53:41,122 Like 953 00:53:41,122 --> 00:53:43,083 literally every friend, 954 00:53:43,083 --> 00:53:53,597 friend or family member I have that still uses Facebook, they are the equivalent of like the people whose like entire car is covered in bumper stickers. 955 00:53:53,597 --> 00:53:57,848 Like they're just there's something, there's a screw loose ~ in their heads. 956 00:53:57,848 --> 00:53:59,209 Man, it's like 957 00:53:59,757 --> 00:54:00,680 You cannot trust 958 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,819 people that use bumper stickers in their cars. 959 00:54:02,819 --> 00:54:04,041 No dude. 960 00:54:04,130 --> 00:54:09,705 I I'll trust but definitely low I well not maybe yeah, maybe not trust but I'll interact with 961 00:54:09,705 --> 00:54:10,245 him. 962 00:54:10,245 --> 00:54:11,040 But definitely 963 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,994 l IQ levels, and I don't even like talking about IQ levels in this way. 964 00:54:14,994 --> 00:54:18,112 I feel like it's very like yes, I'm 965 00:54:18,112 --> 00:54:26,671 I'm so smart, but it's I do feel like you have some a a lower IQ using Facebook, and I think it's probably from using it. 966 00:54:26,671 --> 00:54:26,931 like 967 00:54:26,931 --> 00:54:28,312 it's not just specific 968 00:54:28,312 --> 00:54:33,656 bumper stickers or like specific, you know, affiliations 'cause there are bumper stickers for like both sides. 969 00:54:33,757 --> 00:54:38,701 But I think just bumper stickers in general just the tackiest thing you could put in your car. 970 00:54:38,767 --> 00:54:39,582 Yes. 971 00:54:39,620 --> 00:54:41,353 tacky and they can kind of target you. 972 00:54:41,353 --> 00:54:45,411 But at the same time, I do like seeing a car drive by where I'm like, I agree with that statement. 973 00:54:45,411 --> 00:54:49,999 Is and I don't feel like there's enough people that agr that should that do agree with this. 974 00:54:49,999 --> 00:54:50,367 So 975 00:54:50,367 --> 00:54:54,678 right, now people that put like crazy raps in their cars now, that's a different story, man. 976 00:54:54,678 --> 00:54:56,245 They're they yeah, that 977 00:54:56,245 --> 00:54:59,159 yeah, I could just imagine what your car looks like, high tech. 978 00:54:59,410 --> 00:55:00,415 Umfortunately my car 979 00:55:00,415 --> 00:55:02,623 is quite plain and boring. 980 00:55:02,949 --> 00:55:05,407 It's it's one of those anime ones, but 981 00:55:05,407 --> 00:55:06,987 This morning Emily and I 982 00:55:06,987 --> 00:55:12,008 went for a walk and we literally watched a like I think it was a Prius. 983 00:55:12,008 --> 00:55:13,469 And I'm not kidding. 984 00:55:13,469 --> 00:55:15,609 This is not an exaggeration. 985 00:55:15,629 --> 00:55:21,450 Ever all just about every square inch of the entire vehicle was covered in bumper stickers. 986 00:55:22,251 --> 00:55:23,731 Like, except for the 987 00:55:23,731 --> 00:55:24,231 windows. 988 00:55:24,231 --> 00:55:28,852 Like everything like literally the whole body of the car was covered in bumper stickers. 989 00:55:28,973 --> 00:55:29,676 And Emily 990 00:55:29,676 --> 00:55:30,801 they're they got you 991 00:55:30,801 --> 00:55:31,518 got a picture of that? 992 00:55:31,518 --> 00:55:32,559 It sounds like you 993 00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:33,891 they were driving too fast. 994 00:55:33,891 --> 00:55:41,198 But like, dude, I swear to you, man, like it was every and Emily and I were joking, we were like 'cause there's a fair going on around here ~ right now. 995 00:55:41,198 --> 00:55:46,683 And we were joking that they were going to the fair and they were gonna come back with a bumper sticker and realize they ran out of space. 996 00:55:46,683 --> 00:55:49,132 Be like, ~ my bumper sticker 997 00:55:49,132 --> 00:55:50,079 ~ no. 998 00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:53,502 they're overlapping those bumper screakers, starting with the ones that they like. 999 00:55:53,502 --> 00:55:54,333 ~ this is the 1000 00:55:54,333 --> 00:55:55,457 one we least like. 1001 00:55:55,457 --> 00:55:57,581 they're sticker bombing their car. 1002 00:55:57,581 --> 00:55:58,623 Yeah. 1003 00:55:58,967 --> 00:55:59,605 Ugh. 1004 00:55:59,605 --> 00:56:02,694 You mean you have to have a hobby with how expensive the world is. 1005 00:56:02,694 --> 00:56:07,043 Stickers at least semi affordable, so I'll give them a pass. 1006 00:56:07,611 --> 00:56:08,052 Yep. 1007 00:56:08,052 --> 00:56:09,513 ~ do 1008 00:56:09,513 --> 00:56:13,378 do we know if these glasses sorry, I'm like whiplashed right now. 1009 00:56:13,378 --> 00:56:17,523 Do you do you know if these glasses have like fovea tracking? 1010 00:56:18,024 --> 00:56:22,112 ~ I don't w I don't know what the hell these cards even have this one even has. 1011 00:56:22,112 --> 00:56:22,262 think 1012 00:56:22,262 --> 00:56:25,643 they have pretty much all the the latest tech that you could get. 1013 00:56:25,643 --> 00:56:29,535 Like and it's I think similar to the Steam Frame. 1014 00:56:29,575 --> 00:56:30,175 That being 1015 00:56:30,175 --> 00:56:35,717 said, they probably have Color Pastor, which is another just like fucking valve kind of thing. 1016 00:56:35,717 --> 00:56:37,768 But ~ 1017 00:56:37,768 --> 00:56:39,149 just not have Color Pastor, sorry. 1018 00:56:39,149 --> 00:56:41,760 I that just really pisses me off that they don't have it. 1019 00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:44,941 But it's It's 1020 00:56:44,941 --> 00:56:48,262 every it's standard in every other headset. 1021 00:56:48,303 --> 00:56:49,763 Every other headset. 1022 00:56:49,943 --> 00:56:50,645 Yeah. 1023 00:56:50,645 --> 00:56:57,666 The parts are probably the honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if they're just the same amount, if not cheaper be they did grayscale. 1024 00:56:57,666 --> 00:56:58,414 But okay. 1025 00:56:58,414 --> 00:57:10,402 the announcement okay I in in the defense of the grayscale during the announcement I remember I think it was norm from tested asked about that and they said that they were 1026 00:57:10,402 --> 00:57:15,816 looking for ~ like to optimize tracking of the controllers and they didn't 1027 00:57:15,816 --> 00:57:20,499 and so and if you do like an RGB camera, it's actually less 1028 00:57:21,824 --> 00:57:24,959 ~ less capable of IR detection. 1029 00:57:24,959 --> 00:57:27,804 Yeah, I think the other headsets use two. 1030 00:57:27,804 --> 00:57:30,169 So they just built in two. 1031 00:57:30,169 --> 00:57:33,274 They they they could have built in two cameras. 1032 00:57:33,274 --> 00:57:34,926 So that's my thing. 1033 00:57:34,926 --> 00:57:36,278 so I take it you're not buying that 1034 00:57:36,278 --> 00:57:39,062 hundred and fifty dollar Arctis camera or whatever? 1035 00:57:39,241 --> 00:57:40,812 I will see. 1036 00:57:40,812 --> 00:57:45,056 I dude stomaching fourteen hundred dollars was already a lot. 1037 00:57:47,139 --> 00:57:48,570 $150 on top of it. 1038 00:57:48,570 --> 00:57:50,322 Like this another thing I'm pi pissed off about. 1039 00:57:50,322 --> 00:57:51,443 I'm like, I want it. 1040 00:57:51,443 --> 00:57:53,165 I like seeing the world in color. 1041 00:57:53,165 --> 00:57:58,450 Right now I'm it's just it's gonna be this warping grayscale. 1042 00:57:58,450 --> 00:57:58,914 So 1043 00:57:58,914 --> 00:57:59,804 Hmm. 1044 00:58:00,265 --> 00:58:01,385 That's too bad. 1045 00:58:01,385 --> 00:58:02,525 Well, you know, 1046 00:58:02,525 --> 00:58:09,588 you know, ~ Valve is actually introducing a new video codec for low latency streaming. 1047 00:58:09,588 --> 00:58:18,171 So if you're using that old ~ you know, I guess the the other headset, maybe you can use this new pyrow wave video codec. 1048 00:58:18,171 --> 00:58:21,152 ~ high tech, what do we know about this? 1049 00:58:21,666 --> 00:58:24,278 So this is a beta so this is in beta. 1050 00:58:24,278 --> 00:58:31,243 Essentially it's a brand new codec created by ~ the guy that made VK D three D Proton. 1051 00:58:31,243 --> 00:58:34,450 Hans Christensen Arn Arnesen, I think it is. 1052 00:58:34,450 --> 00:58:36,706 I I don't know how to pronounce his name, whatever. 1053 00:58:36,766 --> 00:58:40,088 But essentially the idea is simple. 1054 00:58:40,088 --> 00:58:44,706 It maximizes the use of your internet bandwidth to provide the best experience. 1055 00:58:44,706 --> 00:58:44,952 Mm. 1056 00:58:44,952 --> 00:58:50,535 And by maximized I mean like they recommend having gigabit Ethernet wide throughout your entire house. 1057 00:58:50,676 --> 00:58:51,796 So like 1058 00:58:51,883 --> 00:58:52,967 It's a lot. 1059 00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:54,762 I got ten gig. 1060 00:58:58,453 --> 00:58:59,666 Yeah, dude. 1061 00:58:59,666 --> 00:59:01,666 You should try So it's 1062 00:59:01,666 --> 00:59:03,787 it's pretty simple to set up all things considered. 1063 00:59:03,787 --> 00:59:06,367 All you have to do is go to your client device. 1064 00:59:06,427 --> 00:59:09,948 Or I think on Linux you have to enable Steam RT3. 1065 00:59:10,165 --> 00:59:11,729 ~ I don't know what that actually 1066 00:59:11,729 --> 00:59:14,869 does though, ~ Steam RT3, th that's besides the point. 1067 00:59:14,869 --> 00:59:26,040 The point is you go into your settings, you go into your remote play thing, you enable advanced client options, and then you go into ~ go all the way down to 1068 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,042 Pyro Wave video. 1069 00:59:28,088 --> 00:59:28,886 Hm. 1070 00:59:29,344 --> 00:59:32,227 So it's supposed to be really good. 1071 00:59:32,227 --> 00:59:36,531 I've yet to fully test it out myself, but I wanna. 1072 00:59:37,153 --> 00:59:40,316 And it uses like five to ten times more bandwidth. 1073 00:59:40,566 --> 00:59:42,900 So if you don't have 1074 00:59:42,900 --> 00:59:49,207 gigabit Ethernet minimum, it like I've read it uses up to like five hundred megabits per second. 1075 00:59:49,495 --> 00:59:50,387 Well. 1076 00:59:50,860 --> 00:59:53,213 So if you have 1077 00:59:54,238 --> 01:00:02,687 So is the is the ~ is the improvement here like the lowest possible latency when streaming to a device? 1078 01:00:03,616 --> 01:00:07,229 I believe it's supposed to be lowest latency and highest quality video. 1079 01:00:07,229 --> 01:00:08,940 That that that's the idea. 1080 01:00:10,201 --> 01:00:10,722 It's also 1081 01:00:10,722 --> 01:00:18,887 it's see, it makes use of Vulcan API, designed for low latency, capable of HDR and YUV four by four four four. 1082 01:00:20,189 --> 01:00:23,411 And it's not available on mobile clients just yet. 1083 01:00:23,912 --> 01:00:26,024 It's not available on like your Android devices 1084 01:00:26,024 --> 01:00:29,388 or whatever, but I believe the Steam Deck has ~ 1085 01:00:29,388 --> 01:00:32,336 this and you can enable on your Steam deck by enabling Steam 1086 01:00:32,336 --> 01:00:33,918 Beta RT three. 1087 01:00:34,548 --> 01:00:38,711 ~ I I still do you know what RT three Steam even does? 1088 01:00:39,584 --> 01:00:41,360 I d I think that's just a beta channel. 1089 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:42,893 I don't know for sure. 1090 01:00:43,292 --> 01:00:44,634 well, whatever I guess. 1091 01:00:45,016 --> 01:00:46,718 But yeah, I mean I'm wanna try it out. 1092 01:00:46,718 --> 01:00:48,140 It sounds pretty quick. 1093 01:00:48,727 --> 01:00:49,566 Yeah. 1094 01:00:50,088 --> 01:00:52,950 I w I'm excited for this type of tech. 1095 01:00:52,950 --> 01:01:02,615 I really, really wanna get to the point where I'm just I have my PC somewhere else and I can just stream my games wherever I'm at. 1096 01:01:02,755 --> 01:01:03,852 In my house. 1097 01:01:03,852 --> 01:01:06,159 Well, James, you could do that right now. 1098 01:01:06,159 --> 01:01:10,930 You like your like put you could try putting your like thirty ninety ~ PC 1099 01:01:11,799 --> 01:01:12,739 True. 1100 01:01:12,860 --> 01:01:15,582 In my utility closet with the water and everything. 1101 01:01:15,582 --> 01:01:18,063 I co I don't use it. 1102 01:01:18,063 --> 01:01:22,866 That's the funny thing is, Steam Machine is so easy to use just because Steam OS is. 1103 01:01:22,866 --> 01:01:24,907 It's like my PC console. 1104 01:01:25,868 --> 01:01:32,022 My PC, my 3090 PC right there, which I ripped out half the RAM, but it still has got thirty two gigabytes, just sets there. 1105 01:01:32,022 --> 01:01:32,703 It doesn't do anything. 1106 01:01:32,703 --> 01:01:36,925 I haven't It's so hot. 1107 01:01:36,953 --> 01:01:37,684 you could do it. 1108 01:01:37,684 --> 01:01:38,274 You could do it. 1109 01:01:38,274 --> 01:01:41,957 You could I feel like if this is as I mean, it's in beta. 1110 01:01:41,957 --> 01:01:45,140 I've heard mixed responses from people that use ~ Moonlight. 1111 01:01:45,140 --> 01:01:47,942 I've heard that it's better, I've heard it's worse in some cases. 1112 01:01:47,942 --> 01:01:52,287 It sounds like it's really your mileage may vary depending on your ~ network. 1113 01:01:52,287 --> 01:01:53,106 is that. 1114 01:01:53,106 --> 01:01:54,046 Yeah. 1115 01:01:54,467 --> 01:01:59,931 So I suggest it might I mean, you have gigabit Ethernet, right, James? 1116 01:01:59,931 --> 01:02:00,950 Throughout your house too? 1117 01:02:00,950 --> 01:02:02,461 know what this house was built with. 1118 01:02:02,461 --> 01:02:07,357 This house has a built-in Ethernet, but I don't I haven't tested it to see. 1119 01:02:07,357 --> 01:02:08,969 I just it more 1120 01:02:08,969 --> 01:02:11,842 the Steam Machine came out when I was moving into this essentially. 1121 01:02:11,842 --> 01:02:14,376 So I've been just screwing around with that. 1122 01:02:14,376 --> 01:02:19,522 It streams pretty well over the Ethernet, but I haven't tried something like this yet. 1123 01:02:19,522 --> 01:02:20,283 Yeah. 1124 01:02:20,283 --> 01:02:21,143 Yeah. 1125 01:02:21,177 --> 01:02:25,109 have cat five at least, if not cat five E. 1126 01:02:25,109 --> 01:02:28,751 And that can that can do gigabit easily. 1127 01:02:28,751 --> 01:02:29,981 I've even I've 1128 01:02:29,981 --> 01:02:40,316 even done cat I've even done ~ gigabit over cat five E o over short runs and like with it like within thirty feet and it works great. 1129 01:02:41,195 --> 01:02:44,556 Yeah, 'cause if it if it doesn't, I will probably upgrade it. 1130 01:02:44,556 --> 01:02:45,677 I'm gonna slap 1131 01:02:45,677 --> 01:02:49,999 in a couple more holes into this house and so vertical. 1132 01:02:49,999 --> 01:02:50,979 I that which makes 1133 01:02:50,979 --> 01:02:51,449 it kind of nice. 1134 01:02:51,449 --> 01:02:55,361 So I could just run the cord from top to b well. 1135 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:56,800 Mm. 1136 01:02:56,962 --> 01:02:58,022 The walls. 1137 01:02:58,022 --> 01:03:00,463 I it'll be interesting to see how this works. 1138 01:03:00,713 --> 01:03:01,574 Yeah. 1139 01:03:02,336 --> 01:03:04,238 Speaking of working 1140 01:03:04,921 --> 01:03:09,408 or not working, Microsoft is laying off tons of people. 1141 01:03:10,311 --> 01:03:11,349 This sucks. 1142 01:03:11,349 --> 01:03:16,032 it's not just the laying off, it's also massive paradigm shifts within the company, too. 1143 01:03:17,133 --> 01:03:18,254 So a lot all 1144 01:03:18,254 --> 01:03:23,097 so I think I think all of the layoffs I've heard of came from 343 industries. 1145 01:03:23,097 --> 01:03:25,044 I mean Halo Studios themselves. 1146 01:03:25,044 --> 01:03:25,619 Mm. 1147 01:03:25,619 --> 01:03:26,906 To the point where 1148 01:03:26,906 --> 01:03:28,368 pretty much toast, right? 1149 01:03:28,368 --> 01:03:29,231 I I think 1150 01:03:29,231 --> 01:03:29,791 so, yeah. 1151 01:03:29,791 --> 01:03:34,064 I mean you can't make a triple A game with only twenty people anymore. 1152 01:03:34,314 --> 01:03:35,521 So essenti 1153 01:03:35,521 --> 01:03:36,816 Not with that attitude. 1154 01:03:36,816 --> 01:03:38,297 not with that, dude. 1155 01:03:38,297 --> 01:03:40,220 But essentially, guess what happened? 1156 01:03:40,220 --> 01:03:45,106 Halo is being handed over to Activision, and they'll be handling the next Halo. 1157 01:03:45,235 --> 01:03:46,109 So weird. 1158 01:03:46,109 --> 01:03:51,977 They're also being handed over World's Edge, who does the modern Age of Empires games, and Rare. 1159 01:03:52,227 --> 01:03:53,119 Interesting. 1160 01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:53,892 will handle 1161 01:03:53,892 --> 01:03:55,841 all three of those things. 1162 01:03:55,841 --> 01:03:57,184 And the 1163 01:03:57,412 --> 01:03:58,454 weird. 1164 01:03:58,704 --> 01:04:04,412 They're making a so essentially they're making a certain word before. 1165 01:04:04,744 --> 01:04:08,780 Yeah, they're essentially making a new team for the sole 1166 01:04:08,780 --> 01:04:10,693 purpose of making Halo good 1167 01:04:10,693 --> 01:04:11,504 again. 1168 01:04:11,635 --> 01:04:15,717 how they're kind of doing it too is it's falling under the Activision as a publisher, right? 1169 01:04:15,717 --> 01:04:17,177 So they're gonna restructure teams. 1170 01:04:17,177 --> 01:04:21,698 Some of the teams like Obsidian with a Bethesda is gonna still remain b Obsidian. 1171 01:04:21,698 --> 01:04:26,139 They're just going to be have more access to you're doing fallout. 1172 01:04:26,139 --> 01:04:27,670 You're doing all this different fallouts. 1173 01:04:27,670 --> 01:04:34,562 They're not gonna have they're gonna have less autonomy ~ in the sense of like them being their own like independent studio. 1174 01:04:34,842 --> 01:04:37,383 They're gonna be now a Bethesda studio. 1175 01:04:37,383 --> 01:04:38,593 ~ 1176 01:04:38,593 --> 01:04:40,595 Same and so that's how I see this. 1177 01:04:40,595 --> 01:04:46,953 So Halo will require probably a new team, right, though, with Activision, but Rare could still be the same team. 1178 01:04:46,953 --> 01:04:52,058 I don't know if they've laid everyone off from rare, so th that will be interesting. 1179 01:04:52,390 --> 01:04:53,205 Mm. 1180 01:04:53,361 --> 01:05:00,625 Yeah, I mean I don't think there's much I don't think there's much left they can do with ~ with three for three. 1181 01:05:00,625 --> 01:05:04,067 I mean really at this point three for three is just kaput. 1182 01:05:04,128 --> 01:05:05,043 And I 1183 01:05:05,043 --> 01:05:07,068 never been a great studio. 1184 01:05:07,194 --> 01:05:08,084 Yeah. 1185 01:05:08,084 --> 01:05:08,905 But 1186 01:05:08,906 --> 01:05:11,177 so they're building a brand new team to make Halo. 1187 01:05:11,177 --> 01:05:19,874 The thing though the thing here though is that ~ they did that same thing for you know what studio they did the same thing you know who what studio started out like that? 1188 01:05:20,595 --> 01:05:21,796 Three four three. 1189 01:05:22,204 --> 01:05:23,287 That's right. 1190 01:05:23,774 --> 01:05:24,272 Yeah. 1191 01:05:24,272 --> 01:05:25,003 343 1192 01:05:25,003 --> 01:05:32,260 was a brand new studio built with the explicit purpose of finish of continuing Halo. 1193 01:05:32,997 --> 01:05:41,396 But like the creative director and a couple of the top dogs that handle the the creative side of things are the most important part. 1194 01:05:41,396 --> 01:05:46,672 So if they choose a good team and a good director, then it doesn't like that's the problem. 1195 01:05:46,672 --> 01:05:48,604 343 needed a new director. 1196 01:05:48,604 --> 01:05:54,510 They needed new directions, they needed new or ~ someone that could do right by Halo. 1197 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,727 They just didn't pick they just chose poorly, it seems. 1198 01:05:58,727 --> 01:06:02,706 They just didn't replace the person after they had horrible game after game. 1199 01:06:02,706 --> 01:06:09,470 But I ~ so Activision and Blizzard, they're the same publisher now, right? 1200 01:06:10,450 --> 01:06:13,049 Yeah, I mean, yeah, they have been for a while. 1201 01:06:13,049 --> 01:06:23,023 Activision Blizzard, but when they were bought by Halo, I don't know if they split off again, but I will have to say I would be very interested in in Blizzard having their hands 1202 01:06:23,023 --> 01:06:23,484 at Halo. 1203 01:06:23,484 --> 01:06:27,438 That'd be i if we're gonna go weird and crazy, that would be interesting. 1204 01:06:27,462 --> 01:06:33,524 I've heard the rumour that before they made this officially news, I've heard the rumour that was gonna be Blizzard handling 1205 01:06:33,774 --> 01:06:37,007 Blizzard handling ~ the new Halo game, which sounds kind 1206 01:06:37,007 --> 01:06:40,327 of it sounds kind of insane to me to even think about. 1207 01:06:40,374 --> 01:06:41,175 Yeah, you know, 1208 01:06:41,175 --> 01:06:44,933 I think Blizzard would actually do a pretty good job with Fable. 1209 01:06:45,785 --> 01:06:46,748 Fable? 1210 01:06:46,958 --> 01:06:47,899 Yeah. 1211 01:06:47,955 --> 01:06:49,580 Yeah, but they're not making 1212 01:06:49,580 --> 01:06:51,115 the they're not making the new fable though. 1213 01:06:51,115 --> 01:06:52,407 That's the 1214 01:06:52,719 --> 01:06:53,547 Mm. 1215 01:06:54,394 --> 01:06:55,516 The new Fable looks good though. 1216 01:06:55,516 --> 01:06:58,650 I'm actually excited for it for once, for the new Fable. 1217 01:06:58,900 --> 01:07:01,707 I think it'll be interesting to see what happens with Fable. 1218 01:07:02,398 --> 01:07:06,674 What can I ask like what kind of corporate hell speak is this? 1219 01:07:06,674 --> 01:07:10,297 Like w Activision will expand its remit. 1220 01:07:10,297 --> 01:07:11,679 What does that mean? 1221 01:07:12,393 --> 01:07:13,970 Their responsibility. 1222 01:07:14,220 --> 01:07:17,758 I don't I've never heard this before and I don't like it. 1223 01:07:17,758 --> 01:07:18,148 yeah, 1224 01:07:18,148 --> 01:07:19,989 so there's more too though. 1225 01:07:19,989 --> 01:07:30,822 Bethesda will expand their remit to handle Obsidian, who will be creating their own they'll they'll still be creating their own projects but also Fallout, a new Fallout. 1226 01:07:31,342 --> 01:07:32,238 Which is if 1227 01:07:32,238 --> 01:07:40,003 you guys are ~ like I'm sure people have heard that Fallout New Vegas is like the most well liked modern Fallout, right? 1228 01:07:40,003 --> 01:07:40,745 Mm-hmm. 1229 01:07:40,745 --> 01:07:44,588 So like yeah, they they made New Vegas, so it might be interesting. 1230 01:07:44,588 --> 01:07:47,759 King will also include Microsoft Casual games. 1231 01:07:47,950 --> 01:07:54,843 turn was it Turn Ten and ~ Playground, Forza and Fable, will become one studio now. 1232 01:07:54,843 --> 01:07:57,084 Cause both of them made like Forza games. 1233 01:07:57,084 --> 01:07:59,658 And I think Playground does Fable too. 1234 01:07:59,658 --> 01:08:01,498 ~ n does Fables well. 1235 01:08:01,498 --> 01:08:03,977 Let's see, Compulsion and Double Find are independent. 1236 01:08:03,977 --> 01:08:04,782 That's old news. 1237 01:08:04,782 --> 01:08:08,629 ~ Undead Labs has a new partner, they're gonna release State of the K three, maybe. 1238 01:08:08,629 --> 01:08:10,540 ~ 1239 01:08:10,888 --> 01:08:16,530 ~ Ninja Theory is gonna be shut down because two agreements for Ninja Theories have fallen through. 1240 01:08:16,858 --> 01:08:20,921 So there will be n so Ninja Theory will be dead. 1241 01:08:21,319 --> 01:08:22,342 ~ 1242 01:08:22,638 --> 01:08:23,506 Dude. 1243 01:08:23,668 --> 01:08:29,365 as for Arcane Studios, ~ there there's no f we have no idea what there's gonna happen to them. 1244 01:08:29,615 --> 01:08:40,723 I think honestly in s in some form or fashion, I think Xbox buying up all these companies, handling them how they kinda did, I don't know. 1245 01:08:40,723 --> 01:08:45,737 I feel like there should be some bad I don't know. 1246 01:08:45,737 --> 01:08:49,150 I don't I don't I don't want government to get involved in everything. 1247 01:08:49,150 --> 01:08:55,054 I know it sounds like maybe people think I do, but I just they 1248 01:08:55,790 --> 01:09:01,013 A as a competitive reason, I think, a big part of it is they acquired all these studios. 1249 01:09:01,013 --> 01:09:12,921 Yes, they gave a big budget, they gave them a lot of stuff, they kinda fell through, but then they're just now killing off a lot of talent and a lot of IPs almost in in a f in 1250 01:09:12,921 --> 01:09:18,624 some form or fashion just because their bet didn't play off well enough. 1251 01:09:18,624 --> 01:09:19,505 I don't know. 1252 01:09:19,505 --> 01:09:21,486 It it's very frustrating. 1253 01:09:22,161 --> 01:09:22,572 Yeah. 1254 01:09:22,572 --> 01:09:28,664 I mean i if regulation is necessary, it's to prevent acquisitions in the first place. 1255 01:09:28,664 --> 01:09:29,423 Yeah. 1256 01:09:29,423 --> 01:09:43,495 that I think that's where maybe I'm thinking of preventing ~ essentially having only like three major companies 'cause at the end of the day, it's not Xbox makes Xbox or actually 1257 01:09:43,495 --> 01:09:44,456 Microsoft. 1258 01:09:44,456 --> 01:09:48,449 This is stupid The layers going on. 1259 01:09:48,449 --> 01:09:52,522 You have Microsoft, Xbox, then you have Activision, and then you have all their studios, right? 1260 01:09:52,522 --> 01:09:53,342 Like 1261 01:09:54,376 --> 01:09:55,125 Mm. 1262 01:09:55,125 --> 01:09:57,366 the layers are just ridiculous. 1263 01:09:57,810 --> 01:09:58,182 Yeah. 1264 01:09:58,182 --> 01:10:00,379 That's a lot of admin costs too. 1265 01:10:00,379 --> 01:10:09,446 So so I know we talk about how s Microsoft does a lot of layoffs and yeah, absol they're they absolutely do do a lot of layoffs, but Sony is also very complicit too. 1266 01:10:09,446 --> 01:10:10,487 And let's let's 1267 01:10:10,487 --> 01:10:11,044 yeah. 1268 01:10:11,044 --> 01:10:11,785 Yeah. 1269 01:10:11,785 --> 01:10:23,841 Sony honestly is worse than Xbox in in the form that they have so much IP that they're sitting on and they could be making PlayStation five an a decent generation, but honestly 1270 01:10:23,841 --> 01:10:27,265 PS five is the shittiest generation for a long time. 1271 01:10:27,265 --> 01:10:28,208 Japan Studio. 1272 01:10:28,208 --> 01:10:30,333 They killed Japan Studio and that like killed 1273 01:10:30,333 --> 01:10:35,025 off like most of their IPs that weren't like the ones are the big ones they're currently developing. 1274 01:10:35,025 --> 01:10:37,257 That's on the that's whatever. 1275 01:10:37,257 --> 01:10:38,307 They that's their fault. 1276 01:10:38,307 --> 01:10:39,938 Like they they screwed up. 1277 01:10:39,938 --> 01:10:41,149 Like honestly, I 1278 01:10:41,149 --> 01:10:47,563 think they're going to not do as well in the future because they're just not proving that they can build the games that people care about. 1279 01:10:47,563 --> 01:10:48,563 But we'll see. 1280 01:10:48,744 --> 01:10:49,724 I'm I'm I'm 1281 01:10:49,724 --> 01:10:52,186 a a simp for some of the IPs. 1282 01:10:52,186 --> 01:10:54,958 If they bring some of the IPs back that I care about in PSX, who knows? 1283 01:10:54,958 --> 01:10:57,769 I I might be weak willed and buy a PSX, so 1284 01:10:57,895 --> 01:10:58,496 So here's my 1285 01:10:58,496 --> 01:11:01,903 question though, was anyone clamoring for a new Horizon game? 1286 01:11:01,903 --> 01:11:02,668 No. 1287 01:11:03,463 --> 01:11:04,293 No. 1288 01:11:04,388 --> 01:11:05,388 I think it was fun. 1289 01:11:05,388 --> 01:11:06,681 Like the first horizon was fun. 1290 01:11:06,681 --> 01:11:08,293 The second one, okay, I can get that. 1291 01:11:08,293 --> 01:11:11,057 But then they started spinning off a bunch of different horizon games. 1292 01:11:11,057 --> 01:11:13,339 the fuck asked for all these Horizon games? 1293 01:11:13,339 --> 01:11:19,013 Cause I sh I don't know anyone that cares about Horizon in real life. 1294 01:11:19,494 --> 01:11:19,795 Much 1295 01:11:19,795 --> 01:11:20,443 less 1296 01:11:20,443 --> 01:11:21,489 I've never played it. 1297 01:11:21,489 --> 01:11:25,398 You know me enough, I guess, but I d I don't know. 1298 01:11:25,398 --> 01:11:28,455 I mean, did you you didn't ask for all these Horizon games, did you? 1299 01:11:28,455 --> 01:11:29,577 You weren't begging them to make 1300 01:11:29,577 --> 01:11:32,073 Horizon Lego Lego Horizon. 1301 01:11:32,073 --> 01:11:33,960 That's a real game that exists, by the way. 1302 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,103 one That one kinda makes sense because the way Lego works. 1303 01:11:38,103 --> 01:11:39,435 I like, okay, cool. 1304 01:11:39,435 --> 01:11:40,085 Right. 1305 01:11:40,085 --> 01:11:43,077 But they have a Horizon 3R game. 1306 01:11:43,077 --> 01:11:49,332 They spun out and did like they're I think they're trying to do a horizon like battle ~ I don't know if it's battle royale, but like a multiplayer game. 1307 01:11:49,332 --> 01:11:55,677 They're spinning off way too much to where I'm like, you guys have other IP that would do better in these instances. 1308 01:11:55,677 --> 01:11:56,279 Like I 1309 01:11:56,279 --> 01:11:57,190 not just Sony 1310 01:11:57,190 --> 01:12:01,538 IPs, but they have like wouldn't kill them make another kill zone? 1311 01:12:01,788 --> 01:12:04,803 Actually kill zone by like this is the time right now. 1312 01:12:04,803 --> 01:12:06,145 Halo's doing horrible. 1313 01:12:06,145 --> 01:12:07,547 Halo's down. 1314 01:12:07,568 --> 01:12:10,873 Kill the last kill zone was actually pretty damn good. 1315 01:12:10,873 --> 01:12:11,895 Make another kill zone 1316 01:12:11,895 --> 01:12:16,642 and you could really eat the ~ Microsoft's lunch. 1317 01:12:16,735 --> 01:12:17,316 Dude, my 1318 01:12:17,316 --> 01:12:20,099 favorite game on the PSP is Killzone Liberation. 1319 01:12:20,099 --> 01:12:22,852 Like that that game is so fun. 1320 01:12:22,852 --> 01:12:29,460 And playing that on like the Steam Deck, ~ bro, it it it controls so well. 1321 01:12:29,460 --> 01:12:30,181 It's really, 1322 01:12:30,181 --> 01:12:30,742 really good. 1323 01:12:30,742 --> 01:12:32,233 It's very fun. 1324 01:12:33,035 --> 01:12:33,701 Yeah. 1325 01:12:33,701 --> 01:12:35,083 d just make a new kill zone, man. 1326 01:12:35,083 --> 01:12:37,065 I I bet you I bet you 1327 01:12:37,065 --> 01:12:44,052 the world could like make it like a like make it like, you know, multiplayer but also has a single player campaign. 1328 01:12:44,052 --> 01:12:51,273 Make it like a classic like FPS where it's got both of those things and don't make it a full on live service, I guess. 1329 01:12:51,273 --> 01:12:52,955 That's what the last kill zone was. 1330 01:12:52,955 --> 01:12:54,618 That's what 1331 01:12:54,618 --> 01:12:55,239 the last one was. 1332 01:12:55,239 --> 01:12:56,350 And it was really good. 1333 01:12:56,350 --> 01:12:57,692 Like, ~ I don't know. 1334 01:12:57,692 --> 01:12:59,015 The last kill zone was good. 1335 01:12:59,015 --> 01:13:00,249 did it not sell well or something? 1336 01:13:00,249 --> 01:13:02,386 I swear I heard it sold pretty decently. 1337 01:13:02,386 --> 01:13:03,388 it sold well enough, 1338 01:13:03,388 --> 01:13:09,555 but obviously, like w I I would be shocked if it didn't do much better than Horizon. 1339 01:13:10,186 --> 01:13:10,876 So 1340 01:13:10,876 --> 01:13:11,485 Na 1341

--> 01:13:24,031 And then and then the community can say, Hey, you know what would be really fun? 1344 01:13:24,031 --> 01:13:25,882 A new Command and Conquer game. 1345 01:13:25,882 --> 01:13:27,732

unfort 1360 01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:08,687 this game is destined to be a failure in Sony's eyes. 1361 01:14:09,036 --> 01:14:10,025 Yeah. 1362 01:14:10,275 --> 01:14:12,290 It's a good thing they don't

engine reverse engineer. 1411 01:16:01,411 --> 01:16:02,091 Which is 1412 01:16:02,091 --> 01:16:03,421 pretty cool. 1413 01:16:03,421 --> 01:16:06,655 I actually've n I've actually never played Metroid Prime. 1414 01:16:07,237 --> 01:16:08,009 So 1415 01:16:08,009 --> 01:16:09,586 Prime is a treat. 1416 01:16:09,586 --> 01:16:11,622 It's a classic, for sure. 1417 01:16:11,756 --> 01:16:13,854 D also, yeah. 1418 01:16:13,854 --> 01:16:15,008 about metric prime. 1419 01:16:15,008 --> 01:16:16,790 I love Metroid Prime. 1420 01:16:16,790 --> 01:16:23,835 It's hard to go back to like the original GameCube one though because it's got like the 007 like like no 1421 01:16:23,835 --> 01:16:26,137 fixed cursor bullshit going on. 1422 01:16:26,137 --> 01:16:27,128 It's a little annoying. 1423 01:16:27,128 --> 01:16:32,162 ~ but if you play like Prime Hack or whatever and you can set it how you want, it's so good. 1424 01:16:32,162 --> 01:16:39,868 ~ I'm more of a I'm more of a classic like side scroller Metroid fan, but like Metroid Prime is good. 1425 01:16:39,965 --> 01:16:45,420 Nintendo's making a new s classic ~ Metroid Ravenaus or something like that? 1426 01:16:45,420 --> 01:16:46,556 It looks pretty sick. 1427 01:16:46,556 --> 01:16:46,889 Mm, 1428 01:16:46,889 --> 01:16:48,937 I haven't I haven't seen anything about it yet. 1429 01:16:48,937 -->

01:16:56,785 Like that was good. 1433 01:16:56,797 --> 01:17:01,392 I actually have a a a dread amiibo over here on the desk, on the table. 1434 01:17:01,642 --> 01:17:02,843 ~ man. 1435 01:17:03,326

1437 01:17:15,029 --> 01:17:22,173 I think this is de we need we just for game preservation alone or and also just to oddshitify some of the past. 1438 01:17:22,389 --> 01:17:26,517 Even though it wasn't really like just more I like new things, don't get me wrong. 1439 01:17:26,517 --> 01:17:27,157 I really do. 1440 01:17:27,157 --> 01:17:29,178 I want games to keep on coming out. 1441 01:17:29,318 --> 01:17:35,933 But seeing how I can go back and play some of these games in a just a better light, like a better version on the PC is is nice. 1442 01:17:35,933 --> 01:17:36,573 I really like it. 1443 01:17:36,573 --> 01:17:38,594 It's 1444 01:17:38,594 --> 01:17:39,945 not lost of time. 1445 01:17:40,091 --> 01:17:51,080 And I I really like that and I'm okay, so I wouldn't so it's good to mention that Twilight Princess, this port here, it apparently does not use any form of AI, which I mean is 1446 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:52,140 important for some people. 1447 01:17:52,140 --> 01:17:56,503 I know s as far as I'm aware, it doesn't y like use AI. 1448 01:17:57,124 --> 01:17:58,756 So I mean, it depends on who 1449 01:17:58,756 --> 01:17:59,646 you are. 1450 01:17:59,915 --> 01:18:09,603 I'm becoming less and less like concerned on that type of stuff if it's not like if it's if a AI is being used to help with it, like as a tool, I yeah, I don't care. 1451 01:18:09,603 --> 01:18:11,727 If it's essentially yeah. 1452 01:18:11,727 --> 01:18:18,419 like like vibe coding, which is like inexperienced people saying shit out an app and having it and 1453 01:18:18,419 --> 01:18:28,283 then just using that versus like d experienced developers who are like handing off certain components to and then integrating them manually. 1454 01:18:28,283 --> 01:18:29,424 Like I feel like that's 1455 01:18:29,424 --> 01:18:30,205 different. 1456 01:18:30,205 --> 01:18:30,766 Right, right. 1457 01:18:30,766 --> 01:18:40,285 Because like if you were like an inexperienced vibe coder and you were just doing I feel like you wouldn't be able to bug fix or like update it in a meaningful way. 1458 01:18:40,728 --> 01:18:46,431 You're yeah, you're gonna run into a ~ a wall at one point and it's gonna be really hard to get over that. 1459 01:18:46,484 --> 01:18:53,324 And you're gonna have to learn how to code to figure that out, which I mean, hey hey hey, that's I mean, that's not a 1460 01:18:53,324 --> 01:18:54,750 bad way to go about it. 1461 01:18:54,750 --> 01:18:57,313 I will say it took me like 1462 01:18:57,714 --> 01:19:04,439 ten years to become an expert, like to actually feel confident to know what I'm doing with coding, right? 1463 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,125 Like so I don't know. 1464 01:19:06,125 --> 01:19:16,250 I I feel like it would be far more difficult to learn how to program if you're like doing it through vibe coding. 1465 01:19:17,093 --> 01:19:23,947 So funny enough, the AIs actually are really good at coding in the sense of like patterns and all that. 1466 01:19:23,947 --> 01:19:26,409 They just the problem is and they're getting better every day. 1467 01:19:26,409 --> 01:19:35,284 The problem is when you try to do a massive application, you don't know what you're doing, it's gonna miss a lot of things if you're not there to make sure that you if you don't 1468 01:19:35,284 --> 01:19:37,045 know security 1469 01:19:37,121 --> 01:19:41,644 protocols and certain things and it does an older version, you don't know how to catch that. 1470 01:19:41,994 --> 01:19:47,408 but when it comes to learning and like it will pull articles, it it's helpful. 1471 01:19:47,648 --> 01:19:52,672 But if like if anyone's out there interested in coding and you're using this to learn, great. 1472 01:19:52,672 --> 01:19:56,834 But also make sure to verify with other ~ sources too at times. 1473 01:19:57,084 --> 01:19:58,811 That's just my my take on that. 1474 01:19:58,811 --> 01:20:05,068 when it comes to coding, the the thing that helped me learn the quickest was actually figuring out 1475 01:20:05,470 --> 01:20:07,502 how to Google stuff, right? 1476 01:20:07,502 --> 01:20:15,618 Like once you once you understand the terminology of like the problem you're facing, it becomes trivial to solve, I find. 1477 01:20:15,618 --> 01:20:17,880 Because there are other resources online. 1478 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:28,979 And I just worry that like if someone's like, I'm trying to build an app and I needed to do this, it's like they're not gonna learn the terms that will help like them become a 1479 01:20:28,979 --> 01:20:30,170 better coder. 1480 01:20:30,216 --> 01:20:37,292 But you can ask AI if you're if you o do it in a certain way, you can ask it and it will teach you. 1481 01:20:37,542 --> 01:20:39,012 It sounds weird. 1482 01:20:39,012 --> 01:20:40,332 It sounds weird. 1483 01:20:40,974 --> 01:20:41,472 But 1484 01:20:41,472 --> 01:20:43,186 still I'm still an AI skeptic. 1485 01:20:43,186 --> 01:20:44,898 Like you know I don't 1486 01:20:44,898 --> 01:20:47,002 there's there's nothing wrong with being a skeptic. 1487 01:20:47,002 --> 01:20:48,712 It's just ~ 1488 01:20:48,962 --> 01:20:56,901 Yeah, I still learn from it a little bit, but I also verify if I don't know something well enough, I'll go look, but Yeah. 1489 01:20:56,901 --> 01:21:03,590 with coding, so and he's been doing it for years before like AI was a thing, so I can trust him I can trust him and his outputs. 1490 01:21:03,590 --> 01:21:04,751 Yeah. 1491 01:21:05,717 --> 01:21:07,372 But ~ yeah 1492 01:21:07,372 --> 01:21:07,643 such a 1493 01:21:07,643 --> 01:21:11,011 coda response 'cause it's like, yeah, but my code is shit 1494 01:21:11,598 --> 01:21:12,438 But 1495 01:21:13,059 --> 01:21:14,030 no code's perfect. 1496 01:21:14,030 --> 01:21:14,891 And as we get more comp 1497 01:21:14,891 --> 01:21:21,406 that's why I have I'm such a with new games like, well, we used to be able to make games back in the 90s like this. 1498 01:21:21,406 --> 01:21:25,009 Like, yeah, the code was so fucking simple to write 1499 01:21:25,009 --> 01:21:27,070 in comparison to what it is now. 1500 01:21:27,070 --> 01:21:31,684 Try writing something that's as complex as an open world that has all these interactions. 1501 01:21:31,684 --> 01:21:34,335 That's really hard to do. 1502 01:21:34,416 --> 01:21:37,089 So people don't understand that. 1503 01:21:37,089 --> 01:21:40,392 to be and plus games back then are a lot bugger than we realise. 1504 01:21:40,392 --> 01:21:41,953 ~ I'm sure we don't 1505 01:21:41,953 --> 01:21:48,760 yeah, yeah like I'm sure we don't see the bugs as very often, but if you see like a speedrunner playing an old game, you'll see 1506 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,683 shit like like do you guys like I'm sure you've played Earthbound, right? 1507 01:21:53,243 --> 01:21:54,832 It's one of my favorite games. 1508 01:21:54,832 --> 01:21:59,667 do you do you ever consider Earthbound to be a very buggy game at any point in time? 1509 01:21:59,667 --> 01:22:04,634 ~ not on the main path, but you can very quickly break things. 1510 01:22:05,027 --> 01:22:05,588 Right. 1511 01:22:05,588 --> 01:22:12,354 But like have you but imagine if kids in the nineties found out how to fucking wrong rope to the credits. 1512 01:22:13,616 --> 01:22:18,020 And some not like that that shit would never pop up in a real game in real gameplay. 1513 01:22:18,020 --> 01:22:21,592 That shit's only happening after speedrunners have broken the game thoroughly. 1514 01:22:21,592 --> 01:22:30,996 Yeah, if you're like pixel if you you're doing pixel perfect, you know, frame perfect inputs to like wiggle out of the on it map and get to the debug menu. 1515 01:22:30,996 --> 01:22:39,020 Like that's I heard I heard a rumor when I was a kid that you could do that and I was like, I don't believe it, but it's true. 1516 01:22:39,215 --> 01:22:41,068 Par and apparently ~ Super 1517 01:22:41,068 --> 01:22:47,016 Mario World has like remote code execu a remote code execution bug or some shit. 1518 01:22:47,016 --> 01:22:49,750 I don't know how that's arbitrary yeah, I don't know 1519 01:22:49,750 --> 01:22:52,484 how that's even I I don't know, man. 1520 01:22:52,484 --> 01:22:54,517 But the how do how do they find these things? 1521 01:22:54,517 --> 01:22:56,008 That's that's what I wanna know. 1522 01:22:56,119 --> 01:22:57,911 Yeah. 1523 01:22:57,911 --> 01:23:05,745 Autism I'm autistic, so I can say it. 1524 01:23:07,139 --> 01:23:08,395 I'll let Gardner say it then. 1525 01:23:08,395 --> 01:23:09,611 All right. 1526 01:23:09,611 --> 01:23:11,133 Already did. 1527 01:23:11,133 --> 01:23:11,903 it 1528 01:23:12,625 --> 01:23:13,536 it takes a lot 1529 01:23:13,536 --> 01:23:21,216 of fine like really focusing on something, have like that special interest that you're just gonna go all day and have fun on it. 1530 01:23:21,216 --> 01:23:24,240 So I d it it's fun 1531 01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:25,482 that we have people like that. 1532 01:23:25,482 --> 01:23:26,272 So 1533 01:23:26,477 --> 01:23:27,527 Hell yeah. 1534 01:23:27,527 --> 01:23:32,591 I'm not sure I'm not sure how to transition to this next topic, so we're just gonna go. 1535 01:23:33,072 --> 01:23:41,098 Resident Evil movie has surpassed the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to become the highest-rated video game movie of all time. 1536 01:23:41,118 --> 01:23:48,844 I didn't know that there was a Resident Evil movie, and I also didn't know that there was a third Sonic the Hedgehog movie, so this shows where I'm at. 1537 01:23:48,844 --> 01:23:51,886 ~ Hi tech, tell us about this. 1538 01:23:52,181 --> 01:24:01,274 So, ~ Resident Evil twenty twenty six is directed by Zach Kregger, director of weapons and I think the other one was Barbarian, right? 1539 01:24:01,434 --> 01:24:02,835 Horror movies basically. 1540 01:24:02,835 --> 01:24:03,655 ~ 1541 01:24:04,095 --> 01:24:10,134 It has hit a ninety-six on Rotten Tomatoes, which is impressive which is like very high. 1542 01:24:10,134 --> 01:24:10,678 Yes. 1543 01:24:10,678 --> 01:24:13,759 So that and R Rotten Tomatoes is primarily so 1544 01:24:13,759 --> 01:24:18,184 Ninety six on the tomato meter, which is like the critic rating, like Metacritic almost. 1545 01:24:18,184 --> 01:24:25,603 And ninety one percent popcorn meter, and that's the audience rating, so it seems like it's just a very good fucking movie. 1546 01:24:25,603 --> 01:24:26,121 Mm. 1547 01:24:26,121 --> 01:24:26,932 see it. 1548 01:24:26,932 --> 01:24:33,436 If you I mean, if you don't like horror y and and gore, you'll but it still is so good. 1549 01:24:33,497 --> 01:24:40,302 I went and saw it opening day on and 'cause I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, right? 1550 01:24:40,302 --> 01:24:51,290 It doesn't adopt a n like and this is the criticisms, like you're getting the re the Resident Evil Reddit is split on this, but it is 1551 01:24:51,694 --> 01:24:52,345 really good. 1552 01:24:52,345 --> 01:25:03,129 It doesn't fully match the games, but it is the best Resident Evil movie out there and it does bring up a a lot of the tropes and a lot of the things that you'd find in the games 1553 01:25:03,129 --> 01:25:07,829 in a very sometimes natural way, sometimes forced, but it is fun. 1554 01:25:07,829 --> 01:25:09,130 I love it. 1555 01:25:09,495 --> 01:25:14,301 So let me read out some ~ some ratings for other movies released this year. 1556 01:25:14,301 --> 01:25:20,197 The Odyssey has a ninety four percent Rotten Tomato ~ meter, meaning that 1557 01:25:20,197 --> 01:25:22,809 Resident Evil rated higher than the Odyssey. 1558 01:25:23,030 --> 01:25:27,350 It's tied with ~ Coyote versus Acme, which ~ have you guys heard about that movie? 1559 01:25:27,350 --> 01:25:28,170 Yeah. 1560 01:25:29,012 --> 01:25:29,262 It's 1561 01:25:29,262 --> 01:25:30,113 good. 1562 01:25:31,315 --> 01:25:32,146 They were going to 1563 01:25:32,146 --> 01:25:33,778 dump it for p tax 1564 01:25:33,778 --> 01:25:36,441 purposes and not release it. 1565 01:25:36,441 --> 01:25:37,013 Jeez. 1566 01:25:37,013 --> 01:25:41,302 I think we talked about this in the ~ fucking WB. 1567 01:25:42,156 --> 01:25:45,313 The they d they're such a stupid company. 1568 01:25:46,197 --> 01:25:48,130 They're cartoonish in some ways, I guess. 1569 01:25:48,130 --> 01:25:48,927 Mm. 1570 01:25:49,165 --> 01:25:51,303 Can we just take over W B? 1571 01:25:51,303 --> 01:25:52,407 Can we run it? 1572 01:25:52,407 --> 01:25:53,548 I bet you I'd make 1573 01:25:53,548 --> 01:25:55,052 be nationalized. 1574 01:25:55,168 --> 01:25:56,494 I actually kind of agree with that. 1575 01:25:56,494 --> 01:25:56,554 I 1576 01:25:56,554 --> 01:25:59,393 was actually thinking about it probably should be nationalised. 1577 01:25:59,979 --> 01:26:01,780 See what else we've got here. 1578 01:26:03,262 --> 01:26:05,283 Sean the Sheep, ninety nine percent. 1579 01:26:05,283 --> 01:26:06,143 Hmm. 1580 01:26:06,724 --> 01:26:08,966 Paw Patrol eighty three percent. 1581 01:26:08,966 --> 01:26:09,547 I don't know. 1582 01:26:09,547 --> 01:26:12,748 Anyways, Akira wait, Akira got re released? 1583 01:26:13,410 --> 01:26:16,578 And it only has an eighty eight in Rotten Tomatoes? 1584 01:26:16,578 --> 01:26:17,092 Yeah. 1585 01:26:17,092 --> 01:26:18,884 That's inter it's 'cause it's anime. 1586 01:26:18,884 --> 01:26:20,956 People hate anime, let's be honest. 1587 01:26:20,956 --> 01:26:24,181 Well and the it's aged well. 1588 01:26:24,181 --> 01:26:28,802 I still pretty good honestly, you're you're saying percentages, they're really good percentages. 1589 01:26:28,802 --> 01:26:30,773 There yeah, it is still really good. 1590 01:26:30,874 --> 01:26:34,978 I feel like it deserves to be at least a ninety, but yeah, I'm biased. 1591 01:26:35,659 --> 01:26:36,074 So 1592 01:26:36,074 --> 01:26:36,881 Yeah. 1593 01:26:36,881 --> 01:26:37,821 So let's see what else. 1594 01:26:37,821 --> 01:26:45,049 ~ so anyway, Sonic the Hedgehog three at an eighty six percent was the highest rated video game movie of all time. 1595 01:26:45,189 --> 01:26:47,171 Until Resident Evil. 1596 01:26:47,421 --> 01:26:48,832 It's kinda ~ I'm sorry. 1597 01:26:48,832 --> 01:26:58,641 Hedgehog ~ Sonic Hedgehog 3, like I've enjoyed all three of ~ I don't know if it should have ever been at the top of that list, but Resident Evil. 1598 01:26:58,641 --> 01:27:00,018 Mmm, so good. 1599 01:27:00,018 --> 01:27:05,366 well that probably speaks more to how shitty video game movies tend to be, let's be honest. 1600 01:27:05,471 --> 01:27:06,774 They're doing better and better though. 1601 01:27:06,774 --> 01:27:10,428 I f I I do feel like they've got it down. 1602 01:27:10,428 --> 01:27:19,057 I mean they're doing better and better, but historically they've been kinda garbage and sometimes we get reminders that they kinda can be garbage, like the Halo TV show. 1603 01:27:19,057 --> 01:27:20,148 Remember that? 1604 01:27:20,203 --> 01:27:21,003 Mm. 1605 01:27:21,686 --> 01:27:22,364 my god. 1606 01:27:22,364 --> 01:27:23,294 a good director. 1607 01:27:23,294 --> 01:27:25,515 Actually the T V shows do really well. 1608 01:27:25,515 --> 01:27:29,717 Fallout and a couple of the other ones do actually really well. 1609 01:27:29,717 --> 01:27:31,397 If you have a good director. 1610 01:27:31,471 --> 01:27:32,398 Not Halo. 1611 01:27:32,398 --> 01:27:33,153 ha 1612 01:27:33,153 --> 01:27:38,380 s Microsoft doesn't know what they're doing with the Halo franchise. 1613 01:27:38,759 --> 01:27:39,169 Dude, 1614 01:27:39,169 --> 01:27:39,920 they did. 1615 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:48,807 Man, do you guys remember when like Neil Blomkamp was on board to direct a Halo movie and frickin' and Peter Jackson was gonna produce it? 1616 01:27:48,807 --> 01:27:51,209 Like that would have been amazing. 1617 01:27:51,209 --> 01:27:59,575 And Neil Blomkamp even did a bunch of like marketing material for ~ Halo 3, and it was the best marketing material ever. 1618 01:28:00,015 --> 01:28:00,377 And 1619 01:28:00,377 --> 01:28:01,597 and then Microsoft 1620 01:28:01,597 --> 01:28:02,898 totally borked it. 1621 01:28:02,898 --> 01:28:03,637 ~ 1622 01:28:03,637 --> 01:28:07,171 been like when Halo was top the world. 1623 01:28:07,372 --> 01:28:07,832 Yeah. 1624 01:28:07,832 --> 01:28:09,454 And like imagine if you capped off 1625 01:28:09,454 --> 01:28:12,018 Halo with like a fucking movie. 1626 01:28:12,018 --> 01:28:14,571 I don't know how good it would have been, but like people would 1627 01:28:14,571 --> 01:28:17,726 have but like I think people would have loved it. 1628 01:28:17,906 --> 01:28:18,621 Even 1629 01:28:18,621 --> 01:28:21,641 dude, that would have been a w the greatest movie ever, I think. 1630 01:28:21,641 --> 01:28:24,246 Halo should be movies. 1631 01:28:24,246 --> 01:28:26,580 All of the all of the Halo should be movies, not TV series. 1632 01:28:26,580 --> 01:28:28,894 That's where they first screwed up. 1633 01:28:28,894 --> 01:28:31,491 Is that it should have been mov movies. 1634 01:28:31,491 --> 01:28:32,101 ~ 1635 01:28:32,101 --> 01:28:32,535 But 1636 01:28:32,535 --> 01:28:37,222 is it too late to get Neil Blomkamp and Peter Jackson back? 1637 01:28:38,767 --> 01:28:40,722 ~ no, do do it do it. 1638 01:28:40,722 --> 01:28:46,907 releasing a bunch of things to and taking risks with Halo, so they could at least tr jump go that route. 1639 01:28:47,424 --> 01:28:47,865 Dude, just 1640 01:28:47,865 --> 01:28:48,637 make a movie. 1641 01:28:48,637 --> 01:28:53,899 Make it like a straight adaptation well make it a solid adaptation of like the games. 1642 01:28:53,899 --> 01:28:54,951 The original trilogy. 1643 01:28:54,951 --> 01:28:57,519 That obviously people love the trilogies. 1644 01:28:57,519 --> 01:28:58,080 I think 1645 01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,943 they should do ODST as a TV show with Neil Blomkamp. 1646 01:29:01,943 --> 01:29:04,985 Like that would be perfect. 1647 01:29:04,985 --> 01:29:08,267 And then Master Chief could show up like at the end of season one. 1648 01:29:08,267 --> 01:29:09,693 And that would be, you know. 1649 01:29:09,693 --> 01:29:11,757 I mean, I don't think Yeah. 1650 01:29:11,757 --> 01:29:16,628 of ~ Halo three ODSD or like just an original ODS D story? 1651 01:29:16,698 --> 01:29:24,336 ~ I think I think like the original ~ Halo three ODST would be cool. 1652 01:29:24,336 --> 01:29:26,752 ~ an adaptation of that. 1653 01:29:26,752 --> 01:29:29,442 They could do a Halo Wars adaptation. 1654 01:29:29,442 --> 01:29:30,339 I mean the 1655 01:29:30,339 --> 01:29:31,332 be sweet too. 1656 01:29:31,332 --> 01:29:34,447 Halo Wars is a has a pretty decent story, last I remember. 1657 01:29:34,447 --> 01:29:35,067 I just love 1658 01:29:35,067 -->

01:30:03,810 --> 01:30:08,513 One came out in two thousand one, which would mean ~ no. 1671 01:30:08,513 --> 01:30:10,718 ~ no. 1672 01:30:10,718 --> 01:30:11,855 Ha ha ha. 1673 01:30:11,855 -->

01:31:15,623 --> 01:31:16,483 Mm. 1697 01:31:17,004 --> 01:31:18,944 That w that would be cool. 1698 01:31:18,944 --> 01:31:19,925 Dude, you know who 1699 01:31:19,925 --> 01:31:20,785 else? 1700

doing like a half life movie or or a portal movie. 1703 01:31:33,310 --> 01:31:40,713 He made a portal short, like ~ on YouTube before he did Ten Cloverfield Lane and was frickin' awesome. 1704 01:31:41,854 --> 01:31:43,574 Dan Trachtenberg. 1705 01:31:44,035 --> 01:31:44,845 Yeah. 1706 01:31:46,019 --> 01:31:52,359 I could go on and on about movies forever, but we can talk about this instead. 1707 01:31:52,359 --> 01:32:02,042 ~ if you've ever played People Playground, you might get have been infected by malware on through the Steam Workshop. 1708 01:32:02,938 --> 01:32:04,038 people playgrounds. 1709 01:32:04,038 --> 01:32:07,349 I I this sounds like a really weird game. 1710 01:32:07,758 --> 01:32:08,789 So essentially it's 1711 01:32:08,789 --> 01:32:14,917 like a playground where you beat up and kill and like maim and torture like a little 1712 01:32:14,917 --> 01:32:16,028 ragdoll. 1713 01:32:16,029 --> 01:32:18,531 It's yeah, and ~ 1714 01:32:19,052 --> 01:32:20,724 you can see all the gore and stuff too. 1715 01:32:20,724 --> 01:32:24,679 You don't have speaking of gore, you know Happy Wheels is on Steam now? 1716 01:32:24,929 --> 01:32:31,854 You ever play it's like a log like this look like a cellular flash game you make to the end of the goal, but it's kinda hilarious. 1717 01:32:32,055 --> 01:32:33,356 You've never seen it? 1718 01:32:33,597 --> 01:32:34,758 You never played it? 1719 01:32:34,758 --> 01:32:36,119 What's an old flash game? 1720 01:32:36,119 --> 01:32:37,299 ~ anyways. 1721 01:32:37,500 --> 01:32:38,521 That that's off topic. 1722 01:32:38,521 --> 01:32:41,774 Let's talk about people playgrounds of virus. 1723 01:32:41,774 --> 01:32:47,949 So, the workshop lets you download like new weapons, new like environments and stuff. 1724 01:32:47,949 --> 01:32:49,990 You know, community created stuff. 1725 01:32:50,751 --> 01:32:51,772 But 1726 01:32:52,072 --> 01:32:55,533 Someone uploaded a virus that does a lot of things. 1727 01:32:55,593 --> 01:32:57,494 It here's a couple things I would mention. 1728 01:32:57,494 --> 01:33:03,595 It w permanently wipes a considerable amount of your personal data, whatever that means. 1729 01:33:03,755 --> 01:33:09,397 It vandalizes your Steam config and Steam Cloud data, inventory, workshop, etc., for other games. 1730 01:33:09,397 --> 01:33:17,919 It reads your Discord your Discord username and other identifiable information and publishes it to the workshop, which is now disabled and it can no longer be read. 1731 01:33:18,019 --> 01:33:21,500 It publishes itself to be work in workshop to be spread. 1732 01:33:22,284 --> 01:33:23,124 Mm. 1733 01:33:23,232 --> 01:33:23,937 Hm. 1734 01:33:24,552 --> 01:33:34,839 n you notice how it says quote it does not steal passwords, yada y it looks it looks like that phrase it looks like that phrase was quo was ~ crossed out. 1735 01:33:34,839 --> 01:33:35,359 How is this 1736 01:33:35,359 --> 01:33:36,680 even possible? 1737 01:33:37,020 --> 01:33:41,613 With w it it should just be a mod in a game, right? 1738 01:33:41,613 --> 01:33:43,594 How how d how the fuck 1739 01:33:43,844 --> 01:33:47,062 Can something be done about all this workshop bullshit? 1740 01:33:47,959 --> 01:33:49,720 Eee better protections. 1741 01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:53,262 Once again, once again, Valve has money. 1742 01:33:54,583 --> 01:33:57,124 They could implement solutions that are a little bit more intense. 1743 01:33:57,124 --> 01:34:04,828 Yes, it costs it means the workshop would actually cost the money, like a lot more money, but they have the money to make Steam better. 1744 01:34:04,828 --> 01:34:08,190 Like they if they want to have a great product, invest in it. 1745 01:34:08,190 --> 01:34:09,591 They have the money. 1746 01:34:09,811 --> 01:34:10,299 I 1747 01:34:10,299 --> 01:34:11,292 don't I don't know. 1748 01:34:11,292 --> 01:34:17,415 I feel like there's bean counters more and more like these features, these things need to make this much money, or else I don't know. 1749 01:34:17,913 --> 01:34:18,464 We're bad. 1750 01:34:18,464 --> 01:34:19,442 I don't I don't get it. 1751 01:34:19,442 --> 01:34:21,864 Like I don't understand Valve these days. 1752 01:34:22,223 --> 01:34:26,965 So it seems like there has been an update ~ posted this Thursday. 1753 01:34:26,965 --> 01:34:30,376 If you go to the game page and post you look at the next ~ one. 1754 01:34:31,177 --> 01:34:33,117 Look at the news article. 1755 01:34:33,488 --> 01:34:34,378 Aftermath. 1756 01:34:34,378 --> 01:34:37,359 Yeah, the af well, yeah, the one that says aftermath. 1757 01:34:38,079 --> 01:34:38,546 So 1758 01:34:38,546 --> 01:34:40,860 let's see active measures. 1759 01:34:40,860 --> 01:34:44,521 Valva has deleted all items containing C sharp code. 1760 01:34:44,542 --> 01:34:48,043 All items contain s that contain sensitive data, yada yada yada. 1761 01:34:48,043 --> 01:34:50,690 Everything updated since September twenty twenty one. 1762 01:34:50,690 --> 01:34:52,681 Since September 21st. 1763 01:34:52,902 --> 01:35:00,268 Due to the inherent safety issues with C sharp mods and auto update nature of Steam Workshop, I can't let this system continue to exist in its current form. 1764 01:35:00,268 --> 01:35:05,993 Allowing arbitrary code execution at this scale would be has proved to be an unsustainable security risk. 1765 01:35:06,474 --> 01:35:12,779 C sharp mods have been deleted and will no longer be officially supported or host on Steam Workshop. 1766 01:35:12,779 --> 01:35:19,364 Contraptions are unaffected by these changes, but some of them may still have been deleted by Valve, like the workshop will return. 1767 01:35:19,766 --> 01:35:21,659 So it seems like 1768 01:35:23,874 --> 01:35:35,741 It was partially due to the developer like having given such power like you remember the remember the little wallpaper engine s kerfuffle 1769 01:35:35,741 --> 01:35:36,571 we talked about? 1770 01:35:36,571 --> 01:35:38,278 Sounds like it's very similar to that. 1771 01:35:38,278 --> 01:35:52,842 Dude, the fact that Valve dude Valve could just scan the entire Steam Workshop for C sharp or C or like compiled binaries and be like, mmm, we're not allowing this shit. 1772 01:35:52,921 --> 01:35:53,874 Yeah. 1773 01:35:53,983 --> 01:35:58,767 Like, I mean the fact that a game dude. 1774 01:35:59,629 --> 01:36:02,903 There are ways dude, there are man, it's so crazy. 1775 01:36:02,903 --> 01:36:10,714 I like that they're allowed to go very extensible with mods, but we need a better verification process, apparently. 1776 01:36:10,714 --> 01:36:11,625 Yeah. 1777 01:36:11,875 --> 01:36:19,746 Dude, it's cra this is just bananas that they like this cu this guy made a game that executes C sharp code. 1778 01:36:19,980 --> 01:36:21,929 Just like it executes the people inside of it. 1779 01:36:21,929 --> 01:36:24,773 Ugh, I just can't even wow. 1780 01:36:25,038 --> 01:36:27,055 They're ruining all the fun. 1781 01:36:27,305 --> 01:36:28,111 Yeah. 1782 01:36:28,111 --> 01:36:40,716 Like I I personally like I know that like it's very limiting, but like if I was divide designing a game that had a had support for mods, I would be I would be very concerned 1783 01:36:40,716 --> 01:36:44,978 about allowing like arbitrary code. 1784 01:36:44,978 --> 01:36:51,556 Like I would I would if I couldn't serialize it into JSON at like the the mods and stuff, I wouldn't do it. 1785 01:36:51,556 --> 01:36:53,561 I it just wouldn't be supported. 1786 01:36:53,842 --> 01:36:54,652 Like 1787 01:36:54,736 --> 01:36:58,637 It's d I mean, this shit has done reputational harm to the game, let's be honest. 1788 01:36:58,637 --> 01:36:59,678 People are f 1789 01:36:59,741 --> 01:37:03,509 people on the internet are afraid of launching the game period, even without mods. 1790 01:37:03,759 --> 01:37:04,534 ~ 1791 01:37:04,784 --> 01:37:05,577 dude. 1792 01:37:05,577 --> 01:37:06,882 It's it's like why? 1793 01:37:06,882 --> 01:37:09,432 Why are we why do we why are we doing this, man? 1794 01:37:09,432 --> 01:37:10,272 Like 1795 01:37:10,522 --> 01:37:12,323 There's a lot of people to bl like 1796 01:37:12,323 --> 01:37:15,424 I think there should have been more oversight on what is even allowed to run. 1797 01:37:15,424 --> 01:37:20,336 I don't I'm surprised that I'm surprised this game lets you run like C sharp code. 1798 01:37:20,336 --> 01:37:28,410 I mean it's one thing with wallpaper engine because like, you know Well actually I don't even know why wallpaper engine even has that either, truth be told. 1799 01:37:29,668 --> 01:37:31,000 'Cause that's the easy way to do 1800 01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:31,691 it. 1801 01:37:31,811 --> 01:37:33,162 it's it's the easier way. 1802 01:37:33,162 --> 01:37:35,474 It also allows for a lot of expendability. 1803 01:37:35,474 --> 01:37:39,778 It's it makes sense, but I don't know. 1804 01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,201 We could have better ~ verification steps. 1805 01:37:43,534 --> 01:37:52,453 So he does want to replace the ~ current code, ~ with a scripting system that is like exclusive to the game, which I mean is the way it should 1806 01:37:52,453 --> 01:37:52,894 have been done. 1807 01:37:52,894 --> 01:37:55,148 I feel like it's the way it should have been done to begin with. 1808 01:37:55,148 --> 01:38:01,771 i i it can be more limiting and it's gonna be a ~ honestly for a game like this, yes, of of course, but it's gonna take a lot more work. 1809 01:38:01,771 --> 01:38:02,563 So if it's a very 1810 01:38:02,563 --> 01:38:05,247 small if it's just one person, it's gonna take a lot more work for them. 1811 01:38:05,817 --> 01:38:15,072 Yeah, and I at the very least though, with like Steam work like this shit has like done insane amounts of damage to people's like Steam accounts too. 1812 01:38:15,072 --> 01:38:18,414 Cause it's like ti it's on Steam, it's tied to Steam. 1813 01:38:18,414 --> 01:38:19,074 I suppose 1814 01:38:19,074 --> 01:38:25,998 more extend like you wouldn't see Skyrim's script extender on on like Steam right right? 1815 01:38:26,218 --> 01:38:30,961 So I feel like more extensible mods could just be hosted off of Steam. 1816 01:38:30,961 --> 01:38:33,424 If you want that to happen, you know what I'm saying? 1817 01:38:33,674 --> 01:38:39,675 I feel like it would do less it would be less of damning against the you know having on workshop, you know? 1818 01:38:40,084 --> 01:38:41,193 Mm-hmm. 1819 01:38:41,443 --> 01:38:42,283 Yeah. 1820 01:38:42,384 --> 01:38:53,634 Dude, I mean the fact like you could he he's talking about integrating Lua or JavaScript as a scripting language, both of which seem like decent options. 1821 01:38:53,634 --> 01:38:55,375 ~ 1822 01:38:55,429 --> 01:38:59,821 But even then it's like you're having to integrate a parser and all that stuff. 1823 01:38:59,821 --> 01:39:08,896 But it at least then it's not like just native C code running at you know, the operating system level with whatever permissions Valve is launching the game, Steam is launching the 1824 01:39:08,896 --> 01:39:10,226 game at, you know? 1825 01:39:10,286 --> 01:39:11,416 Like, I don't know. 1826 01:39:11,416 --> 01:39:13,431 sharp, it's a little different, but yeah. 1827 01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:19,442 well yeah, C SARP is like the the virtual machine, right? 1828 01:39:19,442 --> 01:39:21,465 Yeah, it's similar to Java. 1829 01:39:21,465 --> 01:39:22,846 So but 1830 01:39:22,846 --> 01:39:24,889 it must still have a lot of permissions. 1831 01:39:24,889 --> 01:39:26,701 So must be piggybacking 1832 01:39:26,701 --> 01:39:28,793 off the permissions of the game it itself. 1833 01:39:28,793 --> 01:39:30,394 ~ that's interesting. 1834 01:39:30,615 --> 01:39:33,097 There's definitely routes that they could do to fix this. 1835 01:39:33,347 --> 01:39:41,249 Well, jumping from signs of no intelligent life to signs of possibly intelligent life. 1836 01:39:41,249 --> 01:39:43,052 That was a stretch, I apologize. 1837 01:39:43,052 --> 01:39:45,199 That's a the big jump. 1838 01:39:46,667 --> 01:39:49,324 Almost as big as the jump as the article itself. 1839 01:39:49,345 --> 01:39:50,226 Yeah. 1840 01:39:50,226 --> 01:39:56,370 Scientists have detected radio signal from an exoplanet for the first time in history. 1841 01:39:56,711 --> 01:39:58,092 This is this is cool. 1842 01:39:58,092 --> 01:40:01,995 And they also go out of their way on Wired to say, no, it's not aliens. 1843 01:40:02,716 --> 01:40:03,277 Which, 1844 01:40:03,277 --> 01:40:04,117 yeah. 1845 01:40:04,383 --> 01:40:07,817 sixty three light years away is a planet. 1846 01:40:07,817 --> 01:40:17,582 ~ is a solar system that's so young the article claims it's only one percent as old as our own solar system, which I believe is like ten billion years old at this point. 1847 01:40:17,582 --> 01:40:19,493 really weird way to put that. 1848 01:40:20,281 --> 01:40:22,362 I I yeah, I don't know why they put it that way. 1849 01:40:22,362 --> 01:40:28,385 ~ beta beta pictoris is what this is ~ is what this solar system's called. 1850 01:40:28,606 --> 01:40:32,308 It's got a star that's much bigger than our our very own sun. 1851 01:40:32,308 --> 01:40:44,434 ~ and it's got gas giants and you know this ~ the radio signals came from this planet, ~ beta pi beta pictoris b. 1852 01:40:44,694 --> 01:40:46,408 It's a fucking gas giant. 1853 01:40:46,408 --> 01:40:46,876 Mm. 1854 01:40:46,876 --> 01:40:48,166 Bigger than in Jupiter. 1855 01:40:48,166 --> 01:40:49,707 You can't land on that shit. 1856 01:40:49,707 --> 01:40:57,143 It's I'm not saying alien life couldn't inhabit it, but I'm saying we wouldn't we wouldn't survive it. 1857 01:40:57,784 --> 01:40:58,604 Yeah. 1858 01:40:58,604 --> 01:41:06,266 It's in theory there's l there could be a lot of different types of life forms out there, or aliens and everything, but so there 1859 01:41:06,266 --> 01:41:11,968 so we're saying we we we know for sure that it's not f life though. 1860 01:41:11,968 --> 01:41:13,248 So it they say. 1861 01:41:13,248 --> 01:41:15,559 Now here's s a little bit more context to this though. 1862 01:41:15,559 --> 01:41:19,130 Because they they get they get a little maybe too sure of themselves. 1863 01:41:19,130 --> 01:41:25,912 We have heard radio waves through different ~ th throughout like 1864 01:41:26,210 --> 01:41:28,062 recording things of space. 1865 01:41:28,062 --> 01:41:32,253 Like y we we've had multiple radio waves coming from different areas. 1866 01:41:32,253 --> 01:41:36,602 I honestly I think this isn't even the first time an exoplanet's actually ha sent a radio wave. 1867 01:41:36,602 --> 01:41:37,873 So I don't know. 1868 01:41:37,874 --> 01:41:43,139 I feel like I've read about something else than this, but what makes this so special? 1869 01:41:43,747 --> 01:41:50,732 well they were able to link it down to this very planet, which I believe they said they've never been able to do before. 1870 01:41:50,732 --> 01:41:51,357 Right. 1871 01:41:51,357 --> 01:41:53,009 Not f like fully, yeah. 1872 01:41:53,009 --> 01:41:53,730 Okay. 1873 01:41:53,730 --> 01:41:59,492 So they synced it with the planet's orbit ~ orbit around the sun, or their sun, rather. 1874 01:41:59,752 --> 01:42:04,153 So they can confirm apparently that that it seems to be coming from that planet. 1875 01:42:04,153 --> 01:42:11,575 Now they're suggesting that it's magnetic activity that's causing the radio waves to go out there, which I mean is probably true. 1876 01:42:12,655 --> 01:42:13,515 Or 1877 01:42:13,556 --> 01:42:19,447 or we could have gas giant life forms in there trying to send a signal out to us and they could be aliens. 1878 01:42:19,874 --> 01:42:28,384 I mean f ~ I g I guess that'd be such a weird per ~ alien entity, whatever. 1879 01:42:28,384 --> 01:42:29,081 Hm. 1880 01:42:29,081 --> 01:42:34,683 well w our understanding of life is only limited to what we know on Earth as well as all 1881 01:42:34,683 --> 01:42:38,864 our understanding of ~ physics and everything is limited to what we know on Earth. 1882 01:42:38,904 --> 01:42:39,534 It's a big 1883 01:42:39,534 --> 01:42:41,344 it's a big universe out there. 1884 01:42:42,745 --> 01:42:45,626 Yeah, our our our chemicals 1885 01:42:45,646 --> 01:42:48,086 our chemicals are just chemicals from Earth. 1886 01:42:48,086 --> 01:42:55,048 We don't know for certain that there aren't others out there that we we don't know that chemistry doesn't work differently in like a different solar system. 1887 01:42:55,448 --> 01:42:57,728 Well not work differently, but like other 1888 01:42:57,728 --> 01:42:58,928 A di Yeah. 1889 01:42:58,928 --> 01:43:00,682 It'd be a different galaxy, but yeah. 1890 01:43:00,682 --> 01:43:02,390 You'd have to go pretty far out. 1891 01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:03,490 So I just wanted 1892 01:43:03,490 --> 01:43:11,885 to point out that like when they say radio waves, it it invokes the idea of like a transmission tower that's like broadcasting 1893 01:43:11,885 --> 01:43:13,106 an intentional signal. 1894 01:43:13,106 --> 01:43:19,019 But like literally radio is just light that we can't see, just like gamma rays or whatever. 1895 01:43:19,019 --> 01:43:26,833 So this is like ~ almost every planet is emitting radio like radio spectra. 1896 01:43:26,933 --> 01:43:31,796 It's not like this is not like a silver bullet that we've found life. 1897 01:43:31,796 --> 01:43:32,578 This just 1898 01:43:32,578 --> 01:43:34,489 It's just waves, electromagnetic waves. 1899 01:43:34,489 --> 01:43:38,412 And we just have apparatus here that can see in the visible spectrum. 1900 01:43:38,412 --> 01:43:44,235 But like radio is just the lower end of the of the radio spectrum. 1901 01:43:44,456 --> 01:43:45,272 So 1902 01:43:45,272 --> 01:43:47,206 Yeah, but gar but Gardner, what 1903 01:43:47,206 --> 01:43:48,623 if we found aliens? 1904 01:43:48,646 --> 01:43:49,626 Ha ha ha. 1905 01:43:49,626 --> 01:43:52,987 To be fair though, it's it's less natural though, from my understanding, like radio waves. 1906 01:43:52,987 --> 01:43:54,587 So if they're gonna put it like this. 1907 01:43:54,587 --> 01:43:58,138 But of course, it it's probably a gotcha kind of thing with the article. 1908 01:43:58,238 --> 01:44:14,342 It's just ~ we've detected radio waves from a lot of different things, but it there's very specific forms that come through that would be more ent ~ entity or like more ~ you know, 1909 01:44:14,342 --> 01:44:16,713 just coming from life potentially. 1910 01:44:16,713 --> 01:44:16,973 But 1911 01:44:16,973 --> 01:44:19,798 like I'm sure we aren't seeing aliens 1912 01:44:20,142 --> 01:44:20,921 Yeah. 1913 01:44:21,042 --> 01:44:26,452 but do you guys believe aliens are out there somewhere? 1914 01:44:27,457 --> 01:44:31,880 I mean, in the grand universe, like yes. 1915 01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:32,761 I obvio yeah. 1916 01:44:32,761 --> 01:44:40,197 I I honestly believe that like there's probably life on like ~ Europa or something like a moon of Jupiter. 1917 01:44:40,197 --> 01:44:40,801 I 1918 01:44:40,801 --> 01:44:41,646 Yeah. 1919 01:44:41,646 --> 01:44:43,507 but like, what does it look like? 1920 01:44:43,507 --> 01:44:44,677 Is it multicellular? 1921 01:44:44,677 --> 01:44:46,049 I I don't know. 1922 01:44:46,327 --> 01:44:57,697 Yeah, 'cause life like when people say life on like another planet, they're probably thinking of like animals or like intelligent life like us, but like y you you could 1923 01:44:57,697 --> 01:45:05,664 technically have like s eukaryotic beings no s prokaryotic beings and like these other planets, like little 1924 01:45:05,664 --> 01:45:12,398 single f single cell like life forms and that that constitutes life on a different planet. 1925 01:45:12,398 --> 01:45:12,881 Right. 1926 01:45:12,881 --> 01:45:13,841 Like on 1927 01:45:14,134 --> 01:45:15,044 Yeah. 1928 01:45:15,065 --> 01:45:24,055 I think probability just says there are because it it's w the it's the universe everything's just so massive, so 1929 01:45:24,055 --> 01:45:24,786 Like there's like 1930 01:45:24,786 --> 01:45:31,807 I can't imagine there being a universe where there's only one planet that's ever given birth to life ever. 1931 01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:37,691 We I think there's even been on Earth times where life was squished out and then started again on here. 1932 01:45:37,691 --> 01:45:47,034 So I think you have to now that being said, you have to have a per like the gold E Log zone, there's a lot of things that have to go into play, but I think life finds a way, if 1933 01:45:47,034 --> 01:45:48,664 we want to quote Jurassic Park Park. 1934 01:45:48,664 --> 01:45:49,645 So 1935 01:45:49,685 --> 01:45:51,645 I think for sure. 1936 01:45:51,645 --> 01:45:53,546 Will we ever encounter it? 1937 01:45:53,786 --> 01:45:54,256 Good shit. 1938 01:45:54,256 --> 01:46:01,928 Like that's a probably a higher probability of no, but you know, just cause until you can figure out how to cover that distance in a short amount of time. 1939 01:46:02,701 --> 01:46:03,481 Yeah. 1940 01:46:03,731 --> 01:46:04,771 Yep. 1941 01:46:05,673 --> 01:46:11,797 Well, with that, I think that's that's every story we had to talk about today, right? 1942 01:46:11,955 --> 01:46:12,758 Yeah. 1943 01:46:12,758 --> 01:46:13,659 Yeah. 1944 01:46:13,899 --> 01:46:17,442 We managed to get through it in an hour and almost fifty minutes. 1945 01:46:18,663 --> 01:46:21,866 Thank you everybody for for tuning in to the show. 1946 01:46:21,866 --> 01:46:22,667 Thank you, James. 1947 01:46:22,667 --> 01:46:24,829 Thank you ITEC for being here with me today. 1948 01:46:24,829 --> 01:46:25,715 ~ 1949 01:46:25,715 --> 01:46:28,007 And I think that's gonna do it for this episode. 1950 01:46:28,007 --> 01:46:31,030 If you haven't already, go over to our Patreon. 1951 01:46:31,030 -->
