1
00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:02,566
Also, there are some interesting Pokémon
2
00:00:02,566 --> 00:00:05,000
lore bits that Nintendo dropped.
3
00:00:05,366 --> 00:00:07,133
For example, do you guys remember
4
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:08,633
Lieutenant Surge in Gen 1?
5
00:00:09,666 --> 00:00:11,333
He's the Lightning gym leader.
6
00:00:11,333 --> 00:00:12,066
I do remember him.
7
00:00:12,733 --> 00:00:13,866
He's the guy that kind of looks like Gile
8
00:00:13,866 --> 00:00:14,599
from Street Fighter.
9
00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,866
Yeah, so I think he was apparently in a
10
00:00:17,866 --> 00:00:20,566
war and Lightning Pokémon saved his life
11
00:00:20,566 --> 00:00:22,866
or something like that during the war.
12
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:24,233
But then they never
13
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:25,266
talked about the war again.
14
00:00:26,066 --> 00:00:29,266
And they also retconned as Epithet, which
15
00:00:29,266 --> 00:00:30,566
was the Lightning American.
16
00:00:31,766 --> 00:00:33,633
I don't know, there's just a lot of crazy
17
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:35,200
rumors I've heard about
18
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,766
Pokémon lore back in the day.
19
00:00:38,833 --> 00:00:41,000
Oh, and also, we can't forget about the
20
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,433
Game Freak leaks, if
21
00:00:42,433 --> 00:00:43,200
you guys remember that.
22
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:46,133
The Game Freak leaks?
23
00:00:46,133 --> 00:00:46,766
I don't remember that.
24
00:00:47,466 --> 00:00:48,766
It was the one with the
25
00:00:48,766 --> 00:00:51,933
stories of Ticeplosion.
26
00:00:52,299 --> 00:00:54,899
Oh yeah, no, I do remember that. I don't
27
00:00:54,899 --> 00:00:55,733
want to talk about it.
28
00:00:55,766 --> 00:00:56,466
Never mind.
29
00:00:59,833 --> 00:01:00,933
Yeah, now you remember.
30
00:01:01,666 --> 00:01:01,866
Yeah.
31
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:09,299
Welcome to Off the Console, the hottest
32
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:11,733
new podcast that's all about gaming, tech
33
00:01:11,733 --> 00:01:13,066
news, and anything nerdy.
34
00:01:13,666 --> 00:01:15,133
And we're covering a lot of different
35
00:01:15,133 --> 00:01:17,299
topics today, including Take Your Game
36
00:01:17,299 --> 00:01:18,933
Show, happens in two weeks.
37
00:01:19,533 --> 00:01:21,533
And also talking about the Apple event,
38
00:01:22,099 --> 00:01:24,766
the Nintendo Direct, and a
39
00:01:24,766 --> 00:01:25,866
couple of other things too.
40
00:01:26,433 --> 00:01:28,633
And my name is High Tech Low Life, and
41
00:01:28,633 --> 00:01:30,066
I'm joined by my co-host,
42
00:01:30,066 --> 00:01:32,200
Gardner Bryant, and games revealed.
43
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:35,266
And what have you guys been playing?
44
00:01:35,866 --> 00:01:36,633
Let's start with you, James.
45
00:01:37,866 --> 00:01:41,233
Okay, let's jump right into it. I spent
46
00:01:41,233 --> 00:01:43,733
30, according to Steam, I
47
00:01:43,733 --> 00:01:45,466
spent 35 hours playing a game.
48
00:01:46,099 --> 00:01:48,666
I played Hollow Knight, because I'm like,
49
00:01:48,866 --> 00:01:50,666
I know that. Okay, here's the thing.
50
00:01:51,633 --> 00:01:52,566
I like to play things
51
00:01:52,566 --> 00:01:54,666
sequentially, typically.
52
00:01:55,466 --> 00:01:56,433
This is one of those games where
53
00:01:56,433 --> 00:01:58,233
everyone's like, "You don't need to," but
54
00:01:58,233 --> 00:02:01,066
you get some good context on the main
55
00:02:01,066 --> 00:02:02,233
character in Silksong.
56
00:02:02,666 --> 00:02:05,766
Because you run into her multiple times
57
00:02:05,766 --> 00:02:06,766
in Hollow Knight. So
58
00:02:06,766 --> 00:02:07,766
I'm glad I played it.
59
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:08,599
But it is a really
60
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:09,833
fun game. It's really...
61
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,566
It is fairly difficult, but since we
62
00:02:16,566 --> 00:02:17,333
talked last, I picked
63
00:02:17,333 --> 00:02:18,400
it up for the first time.
64
00:02:19,166 --> 00:02:20,766
I watched my wife play it a little bit,
65
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:21,699
because she loves it.
66
00:02:21,699 --> 00:02:23,000
And she's been playing Silksong while
67
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,066
right next to me while
68
00:02:24,066 --> 00:02:24,866
I'm playing Hollow Knight.
69
00:02:25,166 --> 00:02:28,366
So I got to watch her
70
00:02:28,366 --> 00:02:29,099
play some of that too.
71
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,666
But I got it. I'm at the very end. I'm at
72
00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:33,366
the boss, but I
73
00:02:33,366 --> 00:02:34,699
wanted to go do more stuff.
74
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,233
I technically could have beat it by this
75
00:02:37,233 --> 00:02:40,033
recording, but I decided not to.
76
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,266
But kind of...
77
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,800
That's fair enough. You got 100% it?
78
00:02:43,666 --> 00:02:46,066
Probably not 100%, but I want to get more
79
00:02:46,066 --> 00:02:46,733
charms. I've only
80
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:47,833
gotten like half the charms.
81
00:02:48,333 --> 00:02:50,866
And I don't want to sit there for like a
82
00:02:50,866 --> 00:02:52,433
half a day trying to beat the boss.
83
00:02:53,633 --> 00:02:55,133
I prefer to be more prepared.
84
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:59,366
And so that's... A lot of the bosses, if
85
00:02:59,366 --> 00:03:00,766
you run into one, that's too hard.
86
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,733
But usually just my advice is maybe avoid
87
00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:06,266
that boss if you can.
88
00:03:07,133 --> 00:03:09,666
And get some more items, because some of
89
00:03:09,666 --> 00:03:12,099
the charms, man, make it so much easier.
90
00:03:13,666 --> 00:03:16,433
Yeah. And what about you, Gardiner? What
91
00:03:16,433 --> 00:03:17,133
have you been playing?
92
00:03:18,733 --> 00:03:20,699
I've been a little sick this week, so
93
00:03:20,699 --> 00:03:22,233
I've taken it a bit easier.
94
00:03:23,533 --> 00:03:27,599
I played Bulletstorm for a little while,
95
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:28,666
which is like one of my
96
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:30,666
favorite of like the 360 era.
97
00:03:31,033 --> 00:03:32,066
First-person shooters.
98
00:03:34,066 --> 00:03:36,199
And it's really, really fun.
99
00:03:37,766 --> 00:03:39,400
But I also have been doing
100
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,366
some fun coding projects.
101
00:03:42,266 --> 00:03:43,599
Actually, one major coding
102
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,066
project I'll show you guys.
103
00:03:47,433 --> 00:03:50,066
I went on my blog and I added this little
104
00:03:50,066 --> 00:03:51,666
support meter up here
105
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:53,466
that shows like goals
106
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,766
for like fundraising on the blog.
107
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,166
And I'm pretty happy with this.
108
00:04:00,066 --> 00:04:02,866
So... And I actually wrote a blog post
109
00:04:02,866 --> 00:04:05,233
about how it works and stuff.
110
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:07,633
So if you're interested in that, you can
111
00:04:07,633 --> 00:04:10,366
check out the blog post about it.
112
00:04:11,566 --> 00:04:13,166
Did you hit your goal? That's awesome.
113
00:04:13,566 --> 00:04:14,733
We hit the first goal.
114
00:04:14,733 --> 00:04:15,033
That is...
115
00:04:15,033 --> 00:04:17,366
And we're very close to the second goal
116
00:04:17,366 --> 00:04:18,733
here. We're like $5
117
00:04:18,733 --> 00:04:19,966
short the second goal.
118
00:04:19,966 --> 00:04:20,500
Oh, okay.
119
00:04:21,633 --> 00:04:21,833
Yeah.
120
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,366
That's pretty kick-ass, man.
121
00:04:24,366 --> 00:04:26,766
Yeah. So it's very exciting.
122
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:31,833
And this counts not just like the ghost
123
00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:32,966
blog system, but this
124
00:04:32,966 --> 00:04:34,633
also counts my patrons who
125
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:38,733
have like logged in to redeem their free
126
00:04:38,733 --> 00:04:39,866
membership to the blog.
127
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:43,633
And so that was like a non-trivial thing
128
00:04:43,633 --> 00:04:44,966
to figure out, but I did
129
00:04:44,966 --> 00:04:46,133
and I'm very proud of this.
130
00:04:46,566 --> 00:04:49,266
So yeah.
131
00:04:49,266 --> 00:04:51,166
Also, I wrote an open RCT2 installation
132
00:04:51,166 --> 00:04:52,366
guide because that's a game
133
00:04:52,366 --> 00:04:53,266
I've been playing recently.
134
00:04:53,933 --> 00:04:57,033
So lots of fun stuff on my blog.
135
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,066
Oh yeah.
136
00:05:00,566 --> 00:05:03,833
As for me, I finally picked up Silksong.
137
00:05:04,633 --> 00:05:05,433
Like I said, I would.
138
00:05:05,699 --> 00:05:08,300
And it's been a lot of fun.
139
00:05:09,133 --> 00:05:09,899
I find myself getting
140
00:05:09,899 --> 00:05:12,699
a lot lost very easily.
141
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:17,533
That said, there's some people
142
00:05:17,533 --> 00:05:18,333
complaining a lot about
143
00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:19,166
the game's difficulty.
144
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:19,866
We'll talk about that later.
145
00:05:20,233 --> 00:05:20,933
That's one of the topics.
146
00:05:21,666 --> 00:05:24,500
And I mean, I don't know if maybe gamers
147
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:25,266
have just gotten worse
148
00:05:25,266 --> 00:05:26,699
at video games over time,
149
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,033
but like, I think they might have.
150
00:05:31,266 --> 00:05:31,666
Yeah.
151
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:34,366
And like these gamers complained about
152
00:05:34,366 --> 00:05:36,233
game journalists sucking at video games,
153
00:05:36,233 --> 00:05:37,399
but like, you're no better than they are
154
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:38,166
either, to be honest.
155
00:05:40,566 --> 00:05:41,466
Like that's just my opinion.
156
00:05:41,733 --> 00:05:42,000
All right.
157
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,566
We're talking about more.
158
00:05:44,133 --> 00:05:45,866
I'm better than game journalists.
159
00:05:46,533 --> 00:05:46,733
Yeah.
160
00:05:46,833 --> 00:05:48,100
Nobody is as good as
161
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:49,566
high-tech low-life at video games.
162
00:05:50,466 --> 00:05:50,800
Yeah.
163
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,566
I gave you access to chess mess and you
164
00:05:53,566 --> 00:05:54,666
were like, here's every
165
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:55,766
way I broke your game.
166
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,699
And most of them I had not even like
167
00:05:58,699 --> 00:05:59,933
considered as a way to
168
00:05:59,933 --> 00:06:00,933
break the game originally.
169
00:06:01,366 --> 00:06:03,633
So to be fair, you'd be a game tester.
170
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:04,600
Yeah.
171
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:05,899
Yeah.
172
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,600
But game testers get paid shit to me.
173
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,233
They do.
174
00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:11,399
It's not fair because it's a grueling job
175
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,633
that some people are just really good at.
176
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:14,833
Yeah.
177
00:06:16,433 --> 00:06:19,266
And I'd imagine it'd be a lot less fun.
178
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:21,366
Like as time goes on, I'd probably be
179
00:06:21,366 --> 00:06:23,133
sick of it by like year one.
180
00:06:23,666 --> 00:06:24,033
Depends.
181
00:06:24,033 --> 00:06:25,933
Do you like destruction and
182
00:06:25,933 --> 00:06:27,833
destroying people's dreams?
183
00:06:28,633 --> 00:06:29,766
Then you might be good at it.
184
00:06:30,633 --> 00:06:30,899
Yeah.
185
00:06:30,899 --> 00:06:32,566
But I want to play the game too, dude.
186
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:33,233
You do.
187
00:06:33,233 --> 00:06:34,000
I don't want to like...
188
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,433
You played a lot.
189
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:36,566
Yeah.
190
00:06:36,566 --> 00:06:37,933
But I don't want to like have to repeat
191
00:06:37,933 --> 00:06:39,133
sections just to like
192
00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:40,466
find new bugs in a place.
193
00:06:40,766 --> 00:06:41,266
Like, yeah.
194
00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:43,500
I'm sure playing a game is very different
195
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:44,533
than like play testing
196
00:06:44,533 --> 00:06:45,666
a game for like specific
197
00:06:45,833 --> 00:06:47,566
bugs and stuff like that.
198
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,399
But I mean, Silk's
199
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,466
song is a lot of fun, man.
200
00:06:53,833 --> 00:06:54,566
I think you should pick
201
00:06:54,566 --> 00:06:55,933
it up after you do it.
202
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:57,233
I know Gardiner is going to pick up
203
00:06:57,233 --> 00:06:59,933
eventually when he finds time to game.
204
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:00,466
Yeah.
205
00:07:00,866 --> 00:07:01,266
At some point.
206
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:03,600
Yeah.
207
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,166
But yeah.
208
00:07:04,433 --> 00:07:06,266
I need to get it back into it.
209
00:07:06,666 --> 00:07:10,866
It wasn't really on my radar this week.
210
00:07:10,866 --> 00:07:13,399
I've been too busy wanting
211
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,300
to play dumb action games.
212
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:17,199
Oh, James.
213
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:18,633
Thank you.
214
00:07:20,766 --> 00:07:22,066
Wait, now the real
215
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:23,133
question is, did it update?
216
00:07:23,933 --> 00:07:24,533
It didn't update.
217
00:07:25,833 --> 00:07:26,166
Fucker.
218
00:07:26,766 --> 00:07:27,500
I thought that I had
219
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,666
got it working completely.
220
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:30,199
I'm here to help you.
221
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:30,733
Yeah.
222
00:07:30,966 --> 00:07:31,833
Bug test.
223
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,666
So James just donated to my blog, so I'm
224
00:07:35,666 --> 00:07:37,566
going to like update the account here.
225
00:07:37,766 --> 00:07:40,733
I want to see it hit the next step.
226
00:07:41,566 --> 00:07:43,600
It needs one of those like Twitch-style
227
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,233
pings where it goes...
228
00:07:44,233 --> 00:07:46,433
When like you get a
229
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:47,699
donation from someone.
230
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,466
Yeah, I have to do.
231
00:07:49,466 --> 00:07:50,466
I don't know how to do that.
232
00:07:51,433 --> 00:07:52,199
Yeah, I don't know either.
233
00:07:53,033 --> 00:07:54,733
Oh, I know why it didn't update.
234
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:55,833
Gosh, sorry.
235
00:07:56,033 --> 00:07:57,733
Anyway, this derailed the...
236
00:07:58,266 --> 00:07:58,733
It's all good.
237
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,833
Yeah, so you better beat Silk's song
238
00:08:00,833 --> 00:08:02,733
before Hades 2 comes out
239
00:08:02,733 --> 00:08:04,433
since that's now apparently
240
00:08:04,433 --> 00:08:05,966
coming out this month as well.
241
00:08:06,533 --> 00:08:08,033
Hades 2 is already out, isn't it?
242
00:08:08,466 --> 00:08:09,399
It's in the real access.
243
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:10,033
No, like 1.0.
244
00:08:10,033 --> 00:08:10,899
Oh, oh, oh.
245
00:08:10,899 --> 00:08:12,066
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
246
00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:12,466
Yeah.
247
00:08:13,366 --> 00:08:14,166
But hey.
248
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Both the games are hard.
249
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,266
Slay the Spire got delayed.
250
00:08:17,366 --> 00:08:18,933
Slay the Spire got delayed though.
251
00:08:21,333 --> 00:08:22,399
Oh, Slay the Spire 2?
252
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:24,300
Yeah, Slay the Spire 2, yeah.
253
00:08:24,433 --> 00:08:24,633
Oh.
254
00:08:24,866 --> 00:08:25,666
Till March of next year.
255
00:08:26,566 --> 00:08:27,966
Yeah, there's too many
256
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:30,333
games to catch up with.
257
00:08:30,333 --> 00:08:30,899
Like I still need to
258
00:08:30,899 --> 00:08:32,833
beat Doom Dark Ages, so...
259
00:08:33,066 --> 00:08:34,566
And I still need to be Hades
260
00:08:34,566 --> 00:08:36,033
1 before Hades 2 comes out.
261
00:08:37,266 --> 00:08:37,733
I'm not...
262
00:08:38,133 --> 00:08:38,933
Come on, dude.
263
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,100
Dude, that game is so hard.
264
00:08:41,133 --> 00:08:42,833
One, two, it is repetitive.
265
00:08:43,133 --> 00:08:44,133
I don't do well with repetitive...
266
00:08:44,533 --> 00:08:46,766
Like, Rogue-like dungeon crawlers.
267
00:08:46,766 --> 00:08:48,266
I just don't do very well
268
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:49,133
because it's too repetitive.
269
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:50,633
I get bored after a while.
270
00:08:51,133 --> 00:08:52,200
But it's such a good game.
271
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,133
All right, it's time to get
272
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:56,433
into the meat of the topics.
273
00:08:56,833 --> 00:08:57,866
The first of the topics
274
00:08:57,866 --> 00:09:00,399
here we've got Tokyo Game Show.
275
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:03,133
So, Tokyo Game Show is one
276
00:09:03,133 --> 00:09:05,766
of the big three gaming expos.
277
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:07,566
The other two, of course,
278
00:09:07,566 --> 00:09:10,266
beaten Gamescom and, formerly, E3.
279
00:09:11,899 --> 00:09:13,266
You know, I kind of miss E3, guys.
280
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:14,233
I don't know what you...
281
00:09:14,233 --> 00:09:15,466
But I kind of miss it.
282
00:09:15,466 --> 00:09:18,266
I know it's been on the decline, but
283
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:19,366
that's kind of why I miss it.
284
00:09:20,233 --> 00:09:22,166
I miss it, too.
285
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,500
Honestly, I think a lot
286
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:25,966
of people shit on it a lot.
287
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,166
And I get kind of tired of
288
00:09:30,166 --> 00:09:32,166
the shit on everything culture.
289
00:09:33,266 --> 00:09:33,766
But at the same time,
290
00:09:33,766 --> 00:09:34,700
I'm a part of it at times.
291
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:38,633
But E3 is, for better or for worse, at
292
00:09:38,633 --> 00:09:39,833
least it was something
293
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:44,399
that was exciting during
294
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,633
the beginning of summer.
295
00:09:46,633 --> 00:09:47,133
Which we still...
296
00:09:47,133 --> 00:09:48,533
We have something else that replaced it,
297
00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:50,533
which is nice, but yeah.
298
00:09:50,533 --> 00:09:51,433
It's not the same thing.
299
00:09:51,733 --> 00:09:53,166
Jock Healy's event's not the same thing.
300
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:53,700
It's just not...
301
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:54,966
Yeah, it's not quite the same thing.
302
00:09:57,533 --> 00:09:59,466
I've always wanted to go to E3 as a kid.
303
00:09:59,966 --> 00:10:00,666
I really did.
304
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,033
But given that flights to California, all
305
00:10:04,033 --> 00:10:05,566
the way from the East Coast,
306
00:10:05,566 --> 00:10:06,799
they're probably not that cheap.
307
00:10:07,433 --> 00:10:08,333
And you'd have to get a hotel.
308
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:10,433
And you'd have to pay for tickets.
309
00:10:10,666 --> 00:10:11,866
And I think E3 used to not
310
00:10:11,866 --> 00:10:14,533
be public for a while, right?
311
00:10:16,066 --> 00:10:17,166
Yeah, you had most of its life.
312
00:10:18,733 --> 00:10:20,200
Yeah, but I think by the time
313
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,433
you would have wanted to go,
314
00:10:21,966 --> 00:10:23,566
maybe you could have gone,
315
00:10:23,933 --> 00:10:24,866
probably would have been open.
316
00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:27,433
But before that, you just needed...
317
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:29,433
You could go work at GameStop.
318
00:10:30,333 --> 00:10:31,600
As long as you say you're in the
319
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,666
industry, you can go
320
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:34,733
up to a certain point.
321
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:36,600
Damn, maybe we should have
322
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,533
been content creators early.
323
00:10:38,566 --> 00:10:39,466
We could say we were
324
00:10:39,466 --> 00:10:40,533
part of the gaming industry.
325
00:10:41,033 --> 00:10:42,666
I mean, I kind of was.
326
00:10:42,866 --> 00:10:45,566
And I think I got a discount when I went
327
00:10:45,566 --> 00:10:46,533
last time, but that was...
328
00:10:47,766 --> 00:10:48,866
You've been to E3?
329
00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:49,966
Yeah, I've been to E3.
330
00:10:50,166 --> 00:10:50,366
Dang.
331
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,633
It was awesome, honestly.
332
00:10:51,633 --> 00:10:56,433
It was when Luigi's Mansion 3 was out.
333
00:10:56,433 --> 00:10:58,266
And so they had like Nintendo went all
334
00:10:58,266 --> 00:11:01,633
out, had a huge Luigi's Mansion thing
335
00:11:01,633 --> 00:11:03,100
that you can go in and play the game.
336
00:11:03,133 --> 00:11:07,666
I miss the days when game companies would
337
00:11:07,666 --> 00:11:11,233
go all out to promote their stuff
338
00:11:11,233 --> 00:11:13,066
and to try to actually win us over.
339
00:11:13,666 --> 00:11:14,700
Instead of now, they're like, "Well, we
340
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:15,966
have dark patterns that addict you.
341
00:11:15,966 --> 00:11:16,733
We don't need to do anything.
342
00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:18,333
You're coming to us
343
00:11:18,333 --> 00:11:19,133
anyways for the drugs."
344
00:11:19,466 --> 00:11:19,666
So...
345
00:11:20,666 --> 00:11:22,133
Yeah, that is true, man.
346
00:11:23,566 --> 00:11:25,233
Tokyo Game Show looks like
347
00:11:25,233 --> 00:11:25,966
it's a lot of fun though.
348
00:11:26,233 --> 00:11:28,466
Valve was there two years ago.
349
00:11:29,133 --> 00:11:30,266
No, they were there 2022
350
00:11:30,266 --> 00:11:33,433
and then 2024, I think.
351
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:35,899
For the Steam Deck and
352
00:11:35,899 --> 00:11:36,899
Steam Deck Ola, respectively.
353
00:11:38,333 --> 00:11:40,233
And I don't think they'll
354
00:11:40,233 --> 00:11:41,299
be showing up this year.
355
00:11:41,766 --> 00:11:43,566
I saw the list and Valve was not listed
356
00:11:43,566 --> 00:11:44,766
as one of the companies, of course.
357
00:11:46,566 --> 00:11:48,433
So yeah, they're not gonna be showing up.
358
00:11:49,466 --> 00:11:49,799
That's unfortunate.
359
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,566
So I can imagine Valve showing up next
360
00:11:53,566 --> 00:11:55,866
year for the Deckard or Steamframe
361
00:11:55,866 --> 00:11:56,666
or whatever it's called.
362
00:11:58,933 --> 00:11:59,700
But yeah, Tokyo Game
363
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:00,566
Show is a lot of fun.
364
00:12:00,833 --> 00:12:02,000
It looks like a lot of fun.
365
00:12:02,899 --> 00:12:04,333
Maybe I should have delayed my trip to--
366
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,733
Maybe I should have went during Tokyo
367
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:08,299
Game Show to my trip to Japan.
368
00:12:08,966 --> 00:12:10,533
It could have been a lot more expensive.
369
00:12:12,533 --> 00:12:13,233
Shoot, you're right.
370
00:12:13,366 --> 00:12:13,933
It probably would have
371
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:14,600
been a lot more expensive.
372
00:12:15,533 --> 00:12:18,299
Albeit, Tokyo is massive, so...
373
00:12:20,166 --> 00:12:21,833
Maybe an influx like
374
00:12:21,833 --> 00:12:22,500
that wouldn't matter.
375
00:12:23,766 --> 00:12:24,866
Let's say you're going to
376
00:12:24,866 --> 00:12:25,966
San Francisco for let's--
377
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:29,766
Or LA for E3, stuff like that.
378
00:12:29,766 --> 00:12:30,933
Those will raise the
379
00:12:30,933 --> 00:12:33,033
prices of hotels in the area.
380
00:12:33,566 --> 00:12:34,766
And you have to go pretty far out in
381
00:12:34,766 --> 00:12:35,766
order to get a decent deal.
382
00:12:37,966 --> 00:12:38,633
That is true.
383
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,133
But at the same time, though, Japanese
384
00:12:42,133 --> 00:12:43,033
trains are so convenient.
385
00:12:43,866 --> 00:12:44,866
You could just stay in Airbnb.
386
00:12:45,666 --> 00:12:46,766
Like, that's close to a station.
387
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:47,799
You could live in--
388
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:48,833
You could stay in Kyoto
389
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:51,166
and go, like, it's so fast.
390
00:12:51,933 --> 00:12:55,100
Mm, yeah, but I don't feel
391
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,433
like paying for a bullet train.
392
00:12:56,733 --> 00:12:57,533
No, I know.
393
00:12:57,533 --> 00:12:57,833
A bullet train.
394
00:12:57,899 --> 00:13:02,133
Well, yeah, I don't think it's included
395
00:13:02,133 --> 00:13:03,133
with the pass, is it?
396
00:13:03,333 --> 00:13:05,266
Because when you go to Japan, you can pay
397
00:13:05,266 --> 00:13:07,666
for a pass that's good
398
00:13:07,666 --> 00:13:08,633
for while you're there
399
00:13:08,633 --> 00:13:10,700
that just lets you get onto any of the--
400
00:13:11,233 --> 00:13:12,766
at least in Tokyo's
401
00:13:12,766 --> 00:13:14,333
public transit systems.
402
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:17,166
No, well, what I did was I
403
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:18,033
got one of the Suka cards.
404
00:13:18,166 --> 00:13:21,233
And so I just loaded up
405
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:22,200
a bunch of cash in there.
406
00:13:22,466 --> 00:13:23,733
And then, yeah.
407
00:13:24,133 --> 00:13:24,533
Oh, no.
408
00:13:24,533 --> 00:13:25,133
Oh, yeah.
409
00:13:25,333 --> 00:13:27,433
If you're going to Japan, you get the--
410
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:30,833
it's like a tourist transit pass.
411
00:13:31,033 --> 00:13:32,333
Like, it's a really good deal.
412
00:13:33,366 --> 00:13:34,233
How much is it?
413
00:13:34,833 --> 00:13:36,666
I don't think I've thought about that.
414
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,933
I don't know.
415
00:13:39,933 --> 00:13:41,666
It's been a few years since I've been.
416
00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:45,966
But yeah, here are the-- here's a full list of the exhibitors.
417
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,366
There's a ton of exhibitors.
418
00:13:50,666 --> 00:13:52,600
Lots and lots of exhibitors.
419
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:53,799
Some you may-- most
420
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:54,733
you may not recognize.
421
00:13:54,966 --> 00:13:57,399
Some you recognize like Arc System Works,
422
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,766
IANEO, Bandai Namco, Capcom.
423
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:03,233
I mean, come on, dude.
424
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:04,133
It's Japan.
425
00:14:04,133 --> 00:14:04,700
They're going to be there.
426
00:14:05,333 --> 00:14:05,700
EA.
427
00:14:07,866 --> 00:14:08,633
Let's see if there's
428
00:14:08,633 --> 00:14:10,133
anyone that sticks out here.
429
00:14:10,133 --> 00:14:12,966
Oh, Hori. Oh, Hori.
430
00:14:15,033 --> 00:14:17,033
Inti Creates is pretty cool, too.
431
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:17,466
Konami.
432
00:14:19,633 --> 00:14:20,200
And then they just have
433
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,666
individual games listed, too.
434
00:14:21,933 --> 00:14:22,700
Like, Mecha Break.
435
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:23,733
That's not a company name.
436
00:14:23,733 --> 00:14:24,766
That's just a game name.
437
00:14:25,566 --> 00:14:26,799
So I'm guessing their booth
438
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,066
is just like the game itself.
439
00:14:30,233 --> 00:14:30,833
And then--
440
00:14:33,666 --> 00:14:34,033
Ubisoft?
441
00:14:34,033 --> 00:14:34,666
A lot of the usual
442
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:37,366
suspects are Ubisoft is in Japan.
443
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:40,766
They got to represent the Assassin's
444
00:14:40,766 --> 00:14:42,233
Creed Shadows game, man.
445
00:14:43,333 --> 00:14:43,533
Yeah.
446
00:14:44,366 --> 00:14:45,700
I don't think that game did well.
447
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,533
Yeah, I haven't heard
448
00:14:48,533 --> 00:14:49,366
much about it after.
449
00:14:49,666 --> 00:14:51,633
Maybe I'll pick it up on sale, though.
450
00:14:51,633 --> 00:14:52,700
It looks kind of interesting, especially
451
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:53,866
when you can spartan kick
452
00:14:53,866 --> 00:14:55,200
people out of the walls.
453
00:14:55,833 --> 00:14:57,266
It looks fun, but yeah.
454
00:14:57,466 --> 00:14:58,200
It does look fun.
455
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:02,600
They do have a dedicated indie game area
456
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,799
as well, which I think is
457
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:06,066
one benefit over the others.
458
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,233
They focus a lot on smaller
459
00:15:08,233 --> 00:15:10,700
developers at TGS as well, too.
460
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:16,066
I wish all these places would do that,
461
00:15:16,066 --> 00:15:17,966
which I think it's becoming more and more
462
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,566
a lot of the shows are starting to do it.
463
00:15:22,966 --> 00:15:25,133
But I don't know.
464
00:15:25,266 --> 00:15:26,600
I mean, Japan's always been kind of
465
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,633
indie-friendly, too.
466
00:15:27,633 --> 00:15:29,500
I mean, if you go to Comiket, you used to
467
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:30,466
see people selling
468
00:15:30,466 --> 00:15:32,299
Dojin software as well.
469
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,566
In fact, some of the big Japanese
470
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:38,066
franchises now, like Fate, started out as
471
00:15:38,066 --> 00:15:39,433
essentially an indie
472
00:15:39,433 --> 00:15:41,166
game, if you really think about it.
473
00:15:41,833 --> 00:15:42,533
Like Fate State Night.
474
00:15:43,766 --> 00:15:45,633
It's kind of weird saying it's an indie
475
00:15:45,633 --> 00:15:46,833
game, so to speak, when
476
00:15:46,833 --> 00:15:48,233
it predates the term indie
477
00:15:48,566 --> 00:15:48,933
game.
478
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:49,933
It does.
479
00:15:50,933 --> 00:15:53,266
It's really interesting because, I mean,
480
00:15:53,933 --> 00:15:55,066
a lot of the studios that
481
00:15:55,066 --> 00:15:56,166
are big now started out as
482
00:15:56,166 --> 00:15:57,233
indies, and technically.
483
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:00,533
I mean, technically, yeah.
484
00:16:01,533 --> 00:16:03,133
But like, it was just, well, Type Moon
485
00:16:03,133 --> 00:16:04,000
used to be just like
486
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,266
two guys working like...
487
00:16:08,966 --> 00:16:09,500
I don't know, man.
488
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,333
It's a crazy thought to
489
00:16:11,333 --> 00:16:12,266
really think about it.
490
00:16:13,033 --> 00:16:15,533
But yeah, I mean, Tokyo Game Show, it's
491
00:16:15,533 --> 00:16:16,633
happening in like two weeks.
492
00:16:16,866 --> 00:16:18,266
We should be getting some live streams
493
00:16:18,266 --> 00:16:19,733
with some pretty big
494
00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:20,766
announcements from companies.
495
00:16:22,333 --> 00:16:25,066
I mean, what I'm interested in is seeing
496
00:16:25,066 --> 00:16:27,533
what everyone's got to show off.
497
00:16:27,766 --> 00:16:28,466
Xbox is going to be
498
00:16:28,466 --> 00:16:29,233
there, too, of course.
499
00:16:30,966 --> 00:16:32,366
Xbox is still in Japan.
500
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:35,433
Xbox is still in Japan.
501
00:16:36,433 --> 00:16:36,633
Yes.
502
00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:41,833
They really are going...
503
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:43,466
They're trying to go full throttle in
504
00:16:43,466 --> 00:16:45,733
like, being in Japan,
505
00:16:45,733 --> 00:16:46,566
despite the fact that they
506
00:16:46,566 --> 00:16:48,433
almost killed off their one Japanese.
507
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:48,933
Do you?
508
00:16:49,933 --> 00:16:50,500
Tango Game Works.
509
00:16:54,033 --> 00:16:54,399
But yeah.
510
00:16:56,733 --> 00:16:58,833
They're still trying to get the ever
511
00:16:58,833 --> 00:17:00,233
elusive Japanese market.
512
00:17:02,733 --> 00:17:05,166
But I mean, yeah, that's E3 for you, man.
513
00:17:07,233 --> 00:17:08,133
I mean, not E3, sorry.
514
00:17:08,133 --> 00:17:08,933
It's Tokyo Game Show.
515
00:17:11,033 --> 00:17:11,233
Yeah.
516
00:17:12,933 --> 00:17:13,533
Interesting stuff.
517
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:14,333
I'm hoping that
518
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:15,833
something cool comes out of it.
519
00:17:19,033 --> 00:17:19,966
There's so many shows
520
00:17:19,966 --> 00:17:21,366
to follow every year now.
521
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:22,099
Yeah.
522
00:17:23,566 --> 00:17:24,366
And look, you've got
523
00:17:24,366 --> 00:17:25,533
the special sponsors.
524
00:17:26,533 --> 00:17:27,866
Grandma sponsor, Okishimasu.
525
00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:29,500
You've got the...
526
00:17:29,733 --> 00:17:30,299
You've got PlayStation.
527
00:17:31,466 --> 00:17:33,299
You've got Nintendo Switch 2.
528
00:17:33,299 --> 00:17:34,333
It's not even sponsored by Nintendo.
529
00:17:34,566 --> 00:17:35,733
Sponsored by the Switch 2.
530
00:17:36,766 --> 00:17:37,966
You've got Kodansha.
531
00:17:39,733 --> 00:17:41,799
And then you've got Happy Net, Playism,
532
00:17:42,066 --> 00:17:45,299
Hobby Japan, Indie Game Incubator.
533
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:46,333
Never heard of them.
534
00:17:47,033 --> 00:17:50,266
Nextone, World Map, Cryware.
535
00:17:50,933 --> 00:17:51,866
I can't read this.
536
00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:53,666
BenQ.
537
00:17:54,066 --> 00:17:54,666
Tom, man.
538
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:58,566
They need to update their logo.
539
00:18:00,066 --> 00:18:00,933
Who, BenQ?
540
00:18:00,966 --> 00:18:01,366
Yeah.
541
00:18:01,666 --> 00:18:02,433
They've been using that forever.
542
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:04,766
Dude, come on, man.
543
00:18:05,933 --> 00:18:07,066
It's not broke, man.
544
00:18:07,066 --> 00:18:08,733
It's like the Cracker Barrel situation.
545
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:11,333
Have you guys heard about
546
00:18:11,333 --> 00:18:12,200
the Cracker Barrel situation?
547
00:18:12,866 --> 00:18:13,066
Yes.
548
00:18:14,666 --> 00:18:15,733
It's so stupid.
549
00:18:16,066 --> 00:18:17,166
I mean, at the end of the
550
00:18:17,166 --> 00:18:18,533
day, who goes to Cracker Barrel?
551
00:18:18,833 --> 00:18:20,033
Well, no.
552
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:21,466
Hey, hey, hey.
553
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:23,833
Do not talk shit on Cracker Barrel.
554
00:18:24,233 --> 00:18:25,200
I have to say that
555
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,433
because on the West Coast,
556
00:18:26,433 --> 00:18:27,599
it doesn't matter as much.
557
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:28,266
People don't care about
558
00:18:28,266 --> 00:18:29,366
Cracker Barrel as much.
559
00:18:29,966 --> 00:18:30,466
See, it is here.
560
00:18:31,366 --> 00:18:32,733
Can I tell a story about
561
00:18:32,733 --> 00:18:33,900
Cracker Barrel real fast?
562
00:18:34,466 --> 00:18:34,799
Totally irrelevant.
563
00:18:35,099 --> 00:18:37,000
Yeah, go for it.
564
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:40,466
My grandparents used to...
565
00:18:41,466 --> 00:18:44,066
When they were alive, they had a shop
566
00:18:44,233 --> 00:18:45,299
where they restored
567
00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:48,200
antique cast iron wood stoves.
568
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:48,900
Okay?
569
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:50,833
And it was awesome.
570
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,733
That is cool.
571
00:18:52,733 --> 00:18:53,599
It wasn't just that.
572
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:55,933
My grandfather also had this
573
00:18:55,933 --> 00:18:57,033
thing called the doll circus
574
00:18:57,033 --> 00:18:58,266
that he did with my grandmother.
575
00:18:58,833 --> 00:18:59,666
My grandmother collected
576
00:18:59,666 --> 00:19:01,599
Barbie dolls and all kinds of stuff.
577
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:04,066
And my grandpa would put them on little
578
00:19:04,066 --> 00:19:05,166
ferris wheels and shit.
579
00:19:05,366 --> 00:19:06,799
And the ferris wheels would move.
580
00:19:07,133 --> 00:19:07,633
And it was cool.
581
00:19:08,166 --> 00:19:09,033
So I grew up there.
582
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:10,833
And then one day, they got
583
00:19:10,833 --> 00:19:12,233
this contract from Cracker Barrel
584
00:19:12,233 --> 00:19:14,366
to sell them a ton of wood stoves.
585
00:19:14,766 --> 00:19:15,833
So if you go into a
586
00:19:15,833 --> 00:19:17,599
Cracker Barrel in the US,
587
00:19:18,066 --> 00:19:21,366
there's a non-zero chance that you'll see
588
00:19:21,366 --> 00:19:23,866
a antique cast iron wood stove
589
00:19:23,933 --> 00:19:26,433
that was restored by my grandparents in
590
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:28,266
their little gift shop.
591
00:19:29,033 --> 00:19:30,966
So that's my little story.
592
00:19:30,966 --> 00:19:31,799
I love Cracker Barrel
593
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:32,933
and their food is awesome.
594
00:19:35,933 --> 00:19:37,966
Yeah, I do love that story.
595
00:19:38,266 --> 00:19:39,366
I disagree with the food
596
00:19:39,366 --> 00:19:40,599
being awesome, but yes.
597
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:42,200
I'm sorry.
598
00:19:42,866 --> 00:19:44,566
I like some of the Cracker Barrel stuff.
599
00:19:44,566 --> 00:19:46,133
I've only been there a few times.
600
00:19:46,166 --> 00:19:49,133
I like sausage, biscuits, and gravy.
601
00:19:49,633 --> 00:19:50,533
I love biscuits and gravy.
602
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:53,566
And I was not that impressed.
603
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:56,166
I once went to Cracker Barrel with
604
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:58,233
Wendell from Level One Text.
605
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,500
So there's also that.
606
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:01,433
That's cool.
607
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,700
Wendell like Cracker Barrel?
608
00:20:03,833 --> 00:20:04,099
Yeah, he does.
609
00:20:04,966 --> 00:20:05,233
Nice.
610
00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:09,866
At the end of the day, logo and branding
611
00:20:09,866 --> 00:20:11,433
really needs to be done right.
612
00:20:11,433 --> 00:20:12,599
And they just f'd it up.
613
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:13,666
I just hate that it became...
614
00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:16,266
I really hate that it became...
615
00:20:16,433 --> 00:20:17,000
Minimal text.
616
00:20:18,266 --> 00:20:19,633
Well, it just became a
617
00:20:19,633 --> 00:20:22,466
mainstream story where it's like,
618
00:20:22,833 --> 00:20:23,966
Cracker Barrel didn't need to rebrand.
619
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:27,133
Yeah, Cracker Barrel
620
00:20:27,133 --> 00:20:28,533
really didn't need to rebrand.
621
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:30,333
They didn't need to get rid of...
622
00:20:30,966 --> 00:20:31,666
Who was it?
623
00:20:31,666 --> 00:20:33,066
Who was the mascot of Cracker Barrel?
624
00:20:33,633 --> 00:20:35,533
He had a name that I heard from the news.
625
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:36,266
He had a name?
626
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,133
Supposedly.
627
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:38,799
I mean, apparently
628
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:40,700
there's a name for the mascot.
629
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:41,733
I don't know his name, but...
630
00:20:41,733 --> 00:20:42,466
I think they did.
631
00:20:42,466 --> 00:20:43,099
They did it with the murals.
632
00:20:43,833 --> 00:20:46,799
I mean, it was a pretty dumb rebrand.
633
00:20:47,299 --> 00:20:48,733
The guy gets simplifying, but that's like
634
00:20:48,733 --> 00:20:49,733
a tech-oriented thing.
635
00:20:50,266 --> 00:20:51,866
BenQ, though, I will say,
636
00:20:52,333 --> 00:20:54,933
looks like a medication brand.
637
00:20:58,799 --> 00:20:59,533
I'm just...
638
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:01,200
They should rebrand.
639
00:21:02,766 --> 00:21:04,533
What is a rebrand going to be?
640
00:21:04,533 --> 00:21:05,366
Is it going to be like BenQ?
641
00:21:05,366 --> 00:21:06,933
Just remove the purple, honestly.
642
00:21:06,933 --> 00:21:08,733
Just remove the purple thing.
643
00:21:08,733 --> 00:21:09,766
It makes it look like a
644
00:21:09,766 --> 00:21:11,433
stomach or a liver or something.
645
00:21:11,666 --> 00:21:11,966
I don't know.
646
00:21:11,966 --> 00:21:12,833
Just get rid of the kidney.
647
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:14,633
That's what it is.
648
00:21:14,633 --> 00:21:15,933
It's kidney medicine.
649
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,566
Yo, what if they just made it into a box?
650
00:21:19,566 --> 00:21:20,966
Would that satisfy you, James?
651
00:21:22,099 --> 00:21:23,966
Like a box around BenQ makes it look like
652
00:21:23,966 --> 00:21:25,333
a monitor instead of a kidney?
653
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:26,033
Sure.
654
00:21:27,533 --> 00:21:28,266
That'd satisfy me.
655
00:21:28,966 --> 00:21:29,466
I'm just saying.
656
00:21:29,933 --> 00:21:31,566
There's some brands that need to be
657
00:21:31,566 --> 00:21:35,533
revamped, and that's one of them.
658
00:21:36,933 --> 00:21:37,133
Yeah.
659
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,533
I agree, but at the same time, though,
660
00:21:40,566 --> 00:21:41,466
I don't like how
661
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:43,200
everything's being more simplified.
662
00:21:43,833 --> 00:21:45,333
Imagine a ZOTAC right here,
663
00:21:45,566 --> 00:21:48,033
like change their font to like
664
00:21:48,466 --> 00:21:49,766
Ariel or Calibri or
665
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:51,233
some bullcrap like that.
666
00:21:51,233 --> 00:21:51,433
Why?
667
00:21:52,533 --> 00:21:52,966
That's also...
668
00:21:53,433 --> 00:21:54,766
ZOTAC is already a
669
00:21:54,766 --> 00:21:56,633
simplified version of it.
670
00:21:57,366 --> 00:21:59,433
Fonts are important to a brand.
671
00:21:59,433 --> 00:22:00,433
That's actually the thing you need to
672
00:22:00,433 --> 00:22:02,633
focus on the most when doing logos.
673
00:22:03,666 --> 00:22:05,266
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, imagine if
674
00:22:05,266 --> 00:22:06,733
they didn't have this
675
00:22:06,733 --> 00:22:09,900
stylized font where the A is a
676
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,566
delta instead of just like a regular A.
677
00:22:12,566 --> 00:22:13,733
Imagine how stupid that would look.
678
00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:15,566
It would be stupid, but that's not the
679
00:22:15,566 --> 00:22:17,200
point of simplifying your brand.
680
00:22:17,633 --> 00:22:19,533
You don't go to a simpler font.
681
00:22:20,066 --> 00:22:22,466
I think we can all agree that Ask, scroll
682
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:25,299
down, scroll down, the last section,
683
00:22:25,833 --> 00:22:28,466
asks use of Comic Sans as
684
00:22:28,466 --> 00:22:29,966
the best branding on this.
685
00:22:32,733 --> 00:22:34,299
Is that actually Comic Sans?
686
00:22:34,299 --> 00:22:34,866
I can't tell.
687
00:22:34,866 --> 00:22:36,033
That looks a hell of a
688
00:22:36,033 --> 00:22:37,099
lot like Comic Sans to me.
689
00:22:37,833 --> 00:22:39,733
That's a variant of it at the very least.
690
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,599
Who is Ask Corporation?
691
00:22:42,966 --> 00:22:43,766
Now we have to know.
692
00:22:45,733 --> 00:22:47,933
If you have to ask, you should...
693
00:22:48,366 --> 00:22:49,266
Dude, you have to ask.
694
00:22:49,933 --> 00:22:50,533
It's a...
695
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,033
Oh, wait, why are they
696
00:22:55,033 --> 00:22:56,000
sponsoring like a gaming...
697
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:57,500
They're an equipment sponsor, meaning
698
00:22:57,500 --> 00:22:59,266
they donate equipment to it.
699
00:22:59,833 --> 00:23:00,500
Same with BenQ.
700
00:23:02,066 --> 00:23:03,666
Yeah, I can understand BenQ doing like
701
00:23:03,666 --> 00:23:05,066
monitors and stuff for games,
702
00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:07,933
but like they're donating like water
703
00:23:07,933 --> 00:23:09,299
valves and like pressure...
704
00:23:09,633 --> 00:23:10,166
They probably have a
705
00:23:10,166 --> 00:23:11,933
lot of different things.
706
00:23:12,266 --> 00:23:13,833
So yeah, who knows?
707
00:23:14,566 --> 00:23:15,333
That's interesting.
708
00:23:19,433 --> 00:23:20,666
Takes a lot to run an event.
709
00:23:21,933 --> 00:23:22,533
It does.
710
00:23:23,233 --> 00:23:24,133
Got to pipe that water
711
00:23:24,133 --> 00:23:27,066
into those venues, I guess.
712
00:23:28,133 --> 00:23:30,166
Yo, one of these days, we'll hit up
713
00:23:30,166 --> 00:23:32,066
Japan, go to Tokyo Game Show,
714
00:23:33,033 --> 00:23:35,033
and then get some sushi.
715
00:23:35,733 --> 00:23:36,466
Oh man, I went to the
716
00:23:36,466 --> 00:23:37,500
Tsukiji Fish Market.
717
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:38,833
I had the best sushi I've ever had.
718
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:39,166
It was like...
719
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,266
So it was like this like older lady.
720
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:43,466
She was serving like
721
00:23:43,466 --> 00:23:44,900
this like fatty tuna.
722
00:23:45,533 --> 00:23:48,233
It was like 2000 yen for four pieces,
723
00:23:48,233 --> 00:23:51,066
which I think comes out to like 15 or so
724
00:23:51,066 --> 00:23:53,066
at today's exchange rates.
725
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:53,666
Yeah.
726
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,266
Man, it was so good.
727
00:23:55,266 --> 00:23:56,500
It was the best sushi I've ever had.
728
00:23:56,733 --> 00:23:59,333
And I'm gonna be kind of sad that...
729
00:23:59,366 --> 00:24:02,599
I'm not gonna be able to
730
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:03,866
find sushi this good in America.
731
00:24:04,833 --> 00:24:07,166
At least not for like a decent price.
732
00:24:08,033 --> 00:24:10,766
Yeah, I was gonna say, with
733
00:24:10,766 --> 00:24:12,433
that, it's really freshness.
734
00:24:12,433 --> 00:24:14,166
If you can go to a
735
00:24:14,166 --> 00:24:15,633
fish market around here,
736
00:24:15,933 --> 00:24:16,933
like you should be like,
737
00:24:16,933 --> 00:24:17,900
especially on the West Coast,
738
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:18,266
you should be able to
739
00:24:18,266 --> 00:24:18,900
get something similar.
740
00:24:20,466 --> 00:24:21,133
Yeah, that's the problem.
741
00:24:21,133 --> 00:24:22,000
I don't live in the West Coast.
742
00:24:22,966 --> 00:24:23,166
True.
743
00:24:23,533 --> 00:24:25,033
Probably the closest fish market is
744
00:24:25,033 --> 00:24:27,266
Gardner's lobster market
745
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:27,833
up in Maine or whatever.
746
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:29,633
Hey, hey, hey.
747
00:24:29,633 --> 00:24:31,533
We call it a lobster pound up here.
748
00:24:32,033 --> 00:24:33,166
A lobster pound.
749
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:34,266
A lobster pound?
750
00:24:34,733 --> 00:24:36,200
Yeah, that's what it's called.
751
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,733
Like when you...
752
00:24:36,733 --> 00:24:38,166
Is it like a puppy pound
753
00:24:38,166 --> 00:24:41,000
where you stick animals in there?
754
00:24:41,266 --> 00:24:42,400
No, that's messed up.
755
00:24:42,933 --> 00:24:44,266
I don't know where the
756
00:24:44,266 --> 00:24:45,133
origin of that comes from.
757
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,200
That's what I'm saying.
758
00:24:47,966 --> 00:24:49,233
I'm not sure where the origin of that
759
00:24:49,233 --> 00:24:51,166
comes from, but it might be.
760
00:24:53,133 --> 00:24:55,333
But I have a friend who is a lobsterman,
761
00:24:55,366 --> 00:24:57,200
and he drops his lobsters
762
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,333
off at the lobster pound.
763
00:24:59,133 --> 00:25:00,500
At the lobster pound?
764
00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:02,000
The lobster pound.
765
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,166
Do they cook them live so
766
00:25:04,166 --> 00:25:05,099
they can hear their scream?
767
00:25:05,633 --> 00:25:06,400
Yeah, they don't scream.
768
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:09,166
Like you drop them in the...
769
00:25:09,166 --> 00:25:11,299
They don't scream, but they can hiss.
770
00:25:11,299 --> 00:25:13,333
Meaning the pressure, like the...
771
00:25:14,266 --> 00:25:14,466
Yeah.
772
00:25:16,166 --> 00:25:16,433
Sorry.
773
00:25:17,733 --> 00:25:19,666
The show is off the rails already, guys.
774
00:25:19,766 --> 00:25:20,833
It's pretty off the rails.
775
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:21,966
Yeah.
776
00:25:22,966 --> 00:25:23,933
Take your game show.
777
00:25:24,566 --> 00:25:26,266
I should pay attention to it.
778
00:25:26,766 --> 00:25:26,966
Yeah.
779
00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:31,099
We should go to the
780
00:25:31,099 --> 00:25:32,733
next topic because it is...
781
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:35,433
It is...
782
00:25:36,633 --> 00:25:37,733
It's another event.
783
00:25:38,433 --> 00:25:39,766
The Apple event.
784
00:25:41,466 --> 00:25:41,766
Yeah.
785
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:47,466
Now, Apple traditionally
786
00:25:47,466 --> 00:25:48,666
has their events in September,
787
00:25:49,033 --> 00:25:50,933
where they unveil their new stuff.
788
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,866
And this time, it's a new iPhone.
789
00:25:53,433 --> 00:25:54,733
But it's not just like a
790
00:25:54,733 --> 00:25:56,033
refresh of like the iPhones.
791
00:25:56,033 --> 00:25:57,766
It's a brand new type of iPhone.
792
00:25:57,766 --> 00:25:59,366
The iPhone 17 Air.
793
00:26:00,266 --> 00:26:01,099
Have you seen the gardener?
794
00:26:01,833 --> 00:26:02,066
Yeah.
795
00:26:03,966 --> 00:26:04,766
And like...
796
00:26:05,033 --> 00:26:05,566
It's amazing.
797
00:26:05,566 --> 00:26:06,133
I don't know about you.
798
00:26:07,133 --> 00:26:09,400
I'm waiting for Jay Riggever to get his
799
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,133
hands on one of those.
800
00:26:10,466 --> 00:26:12,366
And so I can watch him like snap it in
801
00:26:12,366 --> 00:26:13,400
half with his bare hands.
802
00:26:13,866 --> 00:26:14,066
Yeah.
803
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:16,033
I mean, honestly, dude,
804
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:19,166
like why would you want that?
805
00:26:19,533 --> 00:26:20,466
I don't understand why
806
00:26:20,466 --> 00:26:21,700
anyone would want that.
807
00:26:23,066 --> 00:26:24,000
Apple, man.
808
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,566
Apple does what Apple wants to do.
809
00:26:26,866 --> 00:26:28,000
They're the Apple of Apple.
810
00:26:28,966 --> 00:26:30,066
They're the Apple of the US.
811
00:26:30,766 --> 00:26:35,900
So the problem with Apple is that they
812
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:37,066
keep on doing these
813
00:26:37,066 --> 00:26:38,599
planned events that are...
814
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,433
That are just...
815
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Every year, they have
816
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,033
to do it in September.
817
00:26:44,266 --> 00:26:46,233
They have a planned event and
818
00:26:46,233 --> 00:26:47,266
it kind of kills innovation.
819
00:26:47,633 --> 00:26:48,933
They're pretty much incremental
820
00:26:48,933 --> 00:26:50,433
innovation where it's...
821
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,233
They probably could come out with
822
00:26:53,233 --> 00:26:54,366
something a little bit more powerful.
823
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:56,533
And to be fair, they probably could pack
824
00:26:56,533 --> 00:26:58,233
more into this iPhone Air.
825
00:26:59,299 --> 00:27:00,566
But they have to keep
826
00:27:00,566 --> 00:27:02,533
on selling every year.
827
00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:03,733
And it's a little unfortunate
828
00:27:03,733 --> 00:27:05,599
because it kills innovation.
829
00:27:06,133 --> 00:27:07,533
That being said, I use Apple devices
830
00:27:07,533 --> 00:27:08,266
because they're so
831
00:27:08,266 --> 00:27:09,566
energetic and I don't have to deal
832
00:27:09,566 --> 00:27:11,633
with the stuff for my day-to-day life.
833
00:27:12,133 --> 00:27:17,033
But this Air is just so weird.
834
00:27:17,033 --> 00:27:19,333
That they added another
835
00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:20,966
SKU when they already have...
836
00:27:22,266 --> 00:27:24,133
I get it.
837
00:27:24,133 --> 00:27:24,799
It is thinner.
838
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:25,333
It is nice.
839
00:27:25,566 --> 00:27:26,766
But you're going to slap a case on there.
840
00:27:26,766 --> 00:27:27,233
It's still going to make
841
00:27:27,233 --> 00:27:28,099
it thinner and lighter.
842
00:27:28,533 --> 00:27:30,900
But I think just replace one
843
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:32,066
of their other SKUs with it.
844
00:27:32,333 --> 00:27:35,233
Instead of adding another iPhone, just
845
00:27:35,233 --> 00:27:36,366
replace one or two of
846
00:27:36,366 --> 00:27:37,133
the other ones you have.
847
00:27:37,366 --> 00:27:38,799
Let's stop with this.
848
00:27:41,033 --> 00:27:42,366
Six different SKUs.
849
00:27:42,366 --> 00:27:43,066
Let's do three.
850
00:27:43,299 --> 00:27:44,700
You have a small, medium, and large.
851
00:27:45,766 --> 00:27:45,966
Yeah.
852
00:27:46,033 --> 00:27:48,833
Wait, so the iPhones, I
853
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:50,133
think, came out yesterday.
854
00:27:50,533 --> 00:27:52,166
So I want to do a little
855
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:53,733
sleuthing on the internet and see...
856
00:27:54,299 --> 00:27:54,666
Careful.
857
00:27:55,433 --> 00:27:57,599
If he has Jerry Riggs,
858
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,266
everything, iPhone 17 Air.
859
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,133
You can't show Apple events and stuff.
860
00:28:03,133 --> 00:28:04,000
They'll take it down.
861
00:28:05,966 --> 00:28:07,266
That's happened multiple times to me.
862
00:28:07,266 --> 00:28:07,466
Okay.
863
00:28:08,366 --> 00:28:12,233
So no, they don't have...
864
00:28:12,666 --> 00:28:14,633
He hasn't uploaded a video of himself
865
00:28:14,633 --> 00:28:16,133
snapping an iPhone in half.
866
00:28:16,466 --> 00:28:17,666
It'll probably happen next week.
867
00:28:17,966 --> 00:28:19,733
To be fair, I feel like you could snap
868
00:28:19,733 --> 00:28:21,233
most phones these days in half.
869
00:28:21,933 --> 00:28:22,133
Yeah.
870
00:28:22,633 --> 00:28:24,299
You can't snap my phone in half.
871
00:28:24,299 --> 00:28:29,666
You know, I have a Google Pixel 4a.
872
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,066
I'm still on the 4, by the way.
873
00:28:32,066 --> 00:28:33,099
I don't need to
874
00:28:33,099 --> 00:28:34,366
upgrade my phone every year.
875
00:28:34,366 --> 00:28:34,866
I don't care.
876
00:28:35,233 --> 00:28:36,333
I hate these things
877
00:28:36,333 --> 00:28:37,266
and I barely use them.
878
00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:41,966
So, but the fact is, this
879
00:28:41,966 --> 00:28:43,633
is too big for me still.
880
00:28:44,066 --> 00:28:48,466
I want something really small where, when
881
00:28:48,466 --> 00:28:49,966
I'm holding it comfortably,
882
00:28:50,533 --> 00:28:53,333
my right thumb can reach the top left
883
00:28:53,333 --> 00:28:54,233
corner of the screen.
884
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:55,433
That's what I want.
885
00:28:55,766 --> 00:28:57,066
That's real innovation.
886
00:28:57,633 --> 00:28:59,533
Because there are no phones on the
887
00:28:59,533 --> 00:29:00,799
market, as far as I have found,
888
00:29:01,233 --> 00:29:03,033
that let me reach all the way up to the
889
00:29:03,033 --> 00:29:04,233
left corner of the
890
00:29:04,233 --> 00:29:05,033
screen in my right thumb.
891
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:06,533
What do you need to do
892
00:29:06,533 --> 00:29:07,266
with that left corner?
893
00:29:07,666 --> 00:29:08,033
Go back?
894
00:29:08,933 --> 00:29:10,566
Go back or whatever.
895
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:11,666
I don't...
896
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:13,000
Dude, just use your other hand.
897
00:29:13,366 --> 00:29:14,666
You just got to get an iPhone, man.
898
00:29:14,666 --> 00:29:15,466
You just swipe back.
899
00:29:16,433 --> 00:29:16,666
I don't...
900
00:29:16,966 --> 00:29:17,466
I do not...
901
00:29:18,066 --> 00:29:18,266
I...
902
00:29:18,433 --> 00:29:20,566
When I got this phone, I had to...
903
00:29:20,766 --> 00:29:22,333
Like, literally, this phone had the
904
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:24,133
stupid little swipe bar at the bottom.
905
00:29:24,666 --> 00:29:27,766
And I was like, "No, give me my buttons
906
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:29,266
back, my fake buttons."
907
00:29:30,033 --> 00:29:32,599
I hate the swipe gesture stuff because it
908
00:29:32,599 --> 00:29:34,466
feels like dark patterns, all of it.
909
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:35,599
Really?
910
00:29:36,166 --> 00:29:36,366
Yes.
911
00:29:37,099 --> 00:29:37,299
Really?
912
00:29:37,733 --> 00:29:37,933
Yeah.
913
00:29:38,066 --> 00:29:38,733
I didn't like it when I
914
00:29:38,733 --> 00:29:40,033
first did it, but it got easier.
915
00:29:43,433 --> 00:29:45,633
Swipe is a dark pattern to me.
916
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:48,366
It feels just awful, like,
917
00:29:49,099 --> 00:29:50,833
addicting, and I hate it.
918
00:29:51,966 --> 00:29:53,566
Yeah, I don't know if
919
00:29:53,566 --> 00:29:54,433
I'd say I'm addicted.
920
00:29:54,666 --> 00:29:56,933
It's just a gesture to me.
921
00:29:57,366 --> 00:29:58,966
It's just a means to an end.
922
00:29:58,966 --> 00:29:59,933
I'm not sure if I agree with
923
00:29:59,933 --> 00:30:01,033
that notion, Gardner, but...
924
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:04,566
Yeah, I guess where I'm coming from, what
925
00:30:04,566 --> 00:30:06,799
I mean when I say that is, to me,
926
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:11,299
I can feel something in my
927
00:30:11,299 --> 00:30:13,533
lizard brain that goes, "Ooh!"
928
00:30:13,933 --> 00:30:16,066
When I do a swipe gesture thing.
929
00:30:17,166 --> 00:30:18,166
And so that, to me,
930
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:19,299
feels like a dark pattern.
931
00:30:19,633 --> 00:30:23,933
When a UI design isn't to facilitate you
932
00:30:23,933 --> 00:30:25,133
going fast or something,
933
00:30:25,133 --> 00:30:27,933
it's to release dopamine in your brain.
934
00:30:28,533 --> 00:30:28,733
That...
935
00:30:29,066 --> 00:30:30,700
And for me, that happens when I do that.
936
00:30:30,733 --> 00:30:31,900
So I don't like it.
937
00:30:33,033 --> 00:30:34,366
I get frustrated sometimes because it
938
00:30:34,366 --> 00:30:36,366
doesn't swipe, so...
939
00:30:37,066 --> 00:30:38,233
Swipe or no swiping.
940
00:30:38,666 --> 00:30:38,866
Yeah.
941
00:30:39,066 --> 00:30:39,866
Swipe or no swiping.
942
00:30:40,133 --> 00:30:42,733
That's also part of
943
00:30:42,733 --> 00:30:44,833
the dark pattern shit.
944
00:30:44,833 --> 00:30:47,333
It's like, if there's a lottery of if
945
00:30:47,333 --> 00:30:48,033
it's going to work or
946
00:30:48,033 --> 00:30:49,200
not, and then it doesn't,
947
00:30:49,433 --> 00:30:50,733
and it frustrates you, and then it does,
948
00:30:51,133 --> 00:30:53,666
that can be part of a
949
00:30:53,666 --> 00:30:54,733
deliberate design pattern.
950
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:58,466
That usually makes me stop using stuff.
951
00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:00,299
It's successful most of the time enough.
952
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:02,033
No, it's...
953
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,799
I'll say this.
954
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,066
Instead of the air, or
955
00:31:07,066 --> 00:31:07,933
at least doing the air,
956
00:31:07,933 --> 00:31:09,200
they should have done it as a foldable or
957
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,466
something where you could get it smaller.
958
00:31:11,166 --> 00:31:12,000
Do something different.
959
00:31:12,866 --> 00:31:13,633
Dude, you can fold it.
960
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:14,400
It just won't be
961
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,900
functional after a single fold.
962
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:18,333
I mean, high tech.
963
00:31:19,766 --> 00:31:21,099
The small's good.
964
00:31:21,099 --> 00:31:21,966
Our thin's good.
965
00:31:23,099 --> 00:31:25,666
I don't think it's any more foldable than
966
00:31:25,666 --> 00:31:26,666
some of the other phones.
967
00:31:26,666 --> 00:31:28,200
Like this Google phone I have.
968
00:31:28,433 --> 00:31:29,966
I bet you it's pretty foldable.
969
00:31:30,833 --> 00:31:31,266
But...
970
00:31:33,633 --> 00:31:34,066
Is it titanium?
971
00:31:34,266 --> 00:31:34,500
I don't know, man.
972
00:31:34,633 --> 00:31:35,666
Is the air titanium?
973
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:38,433
Because I know the Pro Max is.
974
00:31:39,833 --> 00:31:41,400
I can't remember if the air is though,
975
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:42,799
because I thought it
976
00:31:42,799 --> 00:31:43,933
was like a titanium alloy.
977
00:31:45,733 --> 00:31:48,599
I think it's
978
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,666
exclusively titanium, so they say.
979
00:31:51,933 --> 00:31:52,133
Yeah.
980
00:31:52,833 --> 00:31:55,866
And so it's going to make it a little
981
00:31:55,866 --> 00:31:56,633
harder for it to bend.
982
00:31:57,599 --> 00:31:59,166
I'm just salty that
983
00:31:59,166 --> 00:32:01,866
Apple made headphone jacks.
984
00:32:02,266 --> 00:32:03,333
I'm not looking at phones anymore.
985
00:32:05,566 --> 00:32:06,900
Like my phone is definitely thick enough
986
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:09,166
to accommodate a headphone jack.
987
00:32:10,033 --> 00:32:10,799
Heck, I think this...
988
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:12,933
When they removed it, I think that was
989
00:32:12,933 --> 00:32:15,166
like the iPhone 7 when they removed it.
990
00:32:15,633 --> 00:32:17,533
That one was thick enough to
991
00:32:17,533 --> 00:32:18,733
accommodate a headphone jack.
992
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:20,733
These are all thick enough.
993
00:32:20,933 --> 00:32:24,200
It was a big part of it was for getting
994
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,033
better ratings for waterproof.
995
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:29,333
Like water resistance, waterproofing,
996
00:32:29,633 --> 00:32:31,466
and it was also just a simplified
997
00:32:31,466 --> 00:32:32,533
component so they could fit
998
00:32:32,533 --> 00:32:34,933
a headphone jack in there.
999
00:32:35,266 --> 00:32:36,433
Like if they say anything
1000
00:32:36,433 --> 00:32:37,566
otherwise, they're just lying.
1001
00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:41,266
But I just think it's to
1002
00:32:41,266 --> 00:32:42,266
simplify the whole system.
1003
00:32:43,533 --> 00:32:43,833
Yeah.
1004
00:32:44,733 --> 00:32:47,000
But I think my favorite tradition when it
1005
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,366
comes to iPhone releases are all the
1006
00:32:48,366 --> 00:32:50,733
hooks that that 4chan comes up with for
1007
00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:51,333
people to destroy
1008
00:32:51,333 --> 00:32:52,133
their phones on accident.
1009
00:32:52,866 --> 00:32:56,466
I think my favorite one is either between
1010
00:32:56,466 --> 00:32:57,433
like the update that
1011
00:32:57,433 --> 00:32:58,766
makes your iPhone waterproof
1012
00:32:59,533 --> 00:33:03,133
as per 4chan or the update that lets you
1013
00:33:03,133 --> 00:33:04,366
charge your phone in a microwave.
1014
00:33:07,033 --> 00:33:09,533
I mean, yeah, the microphone was classic.
1015
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,599
I mean, if you do that,
1016
00:33:12,099 --> 00:33:13,633
then it's kind of just...
1017
00:33:15,766 --> 00:33:16,733
You deserved it, I guess.
1018
00:33:17,166 --> 00:33:19,133
You shouldn't say you deserve it.
1019
00:33:19,133 --> 00:33:19,900
You learned a lesson.
1020
00:33:19,933 --> 00:33:22,733
It was a teachable moment.
1021
00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:26,233
The water one is that
1022
00:33:26,233 --> 00:33:27,066
they are waterproof.
1023
00:33:28,066 --> 00:33:28,299
Pretty good.
1024
00:33:28,299 --> 00:33:29,966
Well, no, they are now.
1025
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:31,799
But like it said that...
1026
00:33:32,233 --> 00:33:34,866
Yeah, but like back then they said that a
1027
00:33:34,866 --> 00:33:35,900
software update made
1028
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:36,866
your phone waterproof.
1029
00:33:37,533 --> 00:33:37,733
Yeah.
1030
00:33:40,633 --> 00:33:42,833
Man. Good times, man.
1031
00:33:44,633 --> 00:33:47,133
So on top of the new iPhones, they also
1032
00:33:47,133 --> 00:33:49,700
announced Apple watches.
1033
00:33:50,866 --> 00:33:52,366
And also new AirPods.
1034
00:33:53,766 --> 00:33:57,733
They're said to be the best act of noise
1035
00:33:57,733 --> 00:33:59,533
canceling like ear pods out there.
1036
00:34:00,099 --> 00:34:03,833
And I mean, I'm sure they're pretty good,
1037
00:34:03,833 --> 00:34:05,233
but like I'm more partial
1038
00:34:05,233 --> 00:34:06,566
to like the Sony ones that
1039
00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:09,633
come out the WF-1000XM.
1040
00:34:10,366 --> 00:34:11,166
Like I think it's like
1041
00:34:11,166 --> 00:34:12,633
out of five now or six.
1042
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:12,866
I'm not sure.
1043
00:34:12,866 --> 00:34:15,633
I...
1044
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:18,766
I would...
1045
00:34:19,466 --> 00:34:20,800
Of course it's going to be the best.
1046
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,900
Like they're going to say that.
1047
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,066
And they probably are.
1048
00:34:23,066 --> 00:34:24,766
Like the AirPods Pros 2s
1049
00:34:24,766 --> 00:34:26,266
that I have are pretty good.
1050
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:28,933
They might have bad mics and some other
1051
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:31,733
stuff, but like they're noise canceling.
1052
00:34:31,733 --> 00:34:33,566
And I have three test
1053
00:34:33,566 --> 00:34:34,866
cases at home for this.
1054
00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:36,699
I have two kids and a dog.
1055
00:34:37,266 --> 00:34:41,066
And if I need some sanity, I
1056
00:34:41,066 --> 00:34:42,133
will turn that head count...
1057
00:34:42,833 --> 00:34:44,233
The noise canceling on
1058
00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:45,233
and it is pretty nice.
1059
00:34:46,266 --> 00:34:46,566
This is...
1060
00:34:47,066 --> 00:34:50,066
The AirPods Pros 3s are probably the, I
1061
00:34:50,066 --> 00:34:53,866
think, best or the more interesting thing
1062
00:34:53,866 --> 00:34:55,300
to come out of all this because
1063
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:59,233
they include like translation and some
1064
00:34:59,233 --> 00:35:01,166
other stuff in it, which other headphones
1065
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:02,300
have been able to do for a while, but it
1066
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:03,266
is still cool to see.
1067
00:35:05,033 --> 00:35:05,500
Yeah.
1068
00:35:05,866 --> 00:35:06,166
Yeah.
1069
00:35:06,666 --> 00:35:08,833
Also, also apparently there's a new
1070
00:35:08,833 --> 00:35:10,666
feature where you can do real time
1071
00:35:10,666 --> 00:35:13,266
translations to like have conversations
1072
00:35:13,266 --> 00:35:14,199
with foreign people.
1073
00:35:16,033 --> 00:35:18,566
So I don't know how good that'll be.
1074
00:35:18,966 --> 00:35:19,833
Google does it too.
1075
00:35:20,233 --> 00:35:20,533
Google's...
1076
00:35:20,766 --> 00:35:21,566
Yeah, Google does it too.
1077
00:35:21,566 --> 00:35:22,233
AirPods 2.
1078
00:35:24,033 --> 00:35:24,199
Yeah.
1079
00:35:24,733 --> 00:35:25,933
So it's definitely going to be
1080
00:35:25,933 --> 00:35:28,166
interesting to see how it goes and how
1081
00:35:28,166 --> 00:35:29,599
Star Trek is going to get in like the
1082
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:30,800
next few decades because
1083
00:35:31,266 --> 00:35:32,633
it's only going to get better.
1084
00:35:32,633 --> 00:35:33,666
And I think that is actually...
1085
00:35:34,633 --> 00:35:35,766
I think it's a good thing.
1086
00:35:35,766 --> 00:35:37,233
I think removing barriers
1087
00:35:37,233 --> 00:35:38,566
for language is a good thing.
1088
00:35:39,466 --> 00:35:40,300
Yeah, it'll be like Tekken.
1089
00:35:41,566 --> 00:35:42,433
You guys ever play Tekken?
1090
00:35:42,766 --> 00:35:43,566
I've played Tekken better.
1091
00:35:44,133 --> 00:35:44,333
Yeah, dude.
1092
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:44,666
Remember.
1093
00:35:46,433 --> 00:35:47,966
So I mean, one of the things they've done
1094
00:35:47,966 --> 00:35:49,933
in recent times is I
1095
00:35:49,933 --> 00:35:51,033
think starting with Tekken 7,
1096
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:52,699
they started making...
1097
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:54,533
They made everyone speak their native
1098
00:35:54,533 --> 00:35:55,566
languages instead of like
1099
00:35:55,566 --> 00:35:56,633
either English or Japanese.
1100
00:35:57,666 --> 00:36:00,766
And so like now like French characters
1101
00:36:00,766 --> 00:36:02,833
will speak French and like
1102
00:36:02,833 --> 00:36:04,099
Germans will speak German.
1103
00:36:04,099 --> 00:36:05,866
Koreans will speak Korean and of course
1104
00:36:05,866 --> 00:36:07,933
the Japanese will speak Japanese.
1105
00:36:09,233 --> 00:36:09,533
That's cool.
1106
00:36:10,033 --> 00:36:10,666
And yeah.
1107
00:36:11,533 --> 00:36:14,233
Also, I also want to mention the price
1108
00:36:14,233 --> 00:36:15,366
because the one good
1109
00:36:15,366 --> 00:36:16,933
thing that Apple didn't do
1110
00:36:17,533 --> 00:36:19,533
was like raise the price substantially
1111
00:36:19,533 --> 00:36:21,133
except for I guess the pro models.
1112
00:36:22,733 --> 00:36:24,066
Did they go up a price much though?
1113
00:36:24,066 --> 00:36:28,000
Because the 17 Pro Max, it looks about
1114
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,500
like what it typically is.
1115
00:36:30,433 --> 00:36:31,066
Yeah, no, no.
1116
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:32,666
The regular Pro went up $100.
1117
00:36:34,866 --> 00:36:36,833
See, when I get a phone, I get it every
1118
00:36:36,833 --> 00:36:38,433
few years and I just get the
1119
00:36:38,433 --> 00:36:39,966
highest one and it just lasts
1120
00:36:40,066 --> 00:36:40,433
years.
1121
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,466
Yeah, that's fair enough.
1122
00:36:43,066 --> 00:36:45,900
So the iPhone 17 is still $800.
1123
00:36:48,233 --> 00:36:50,866
And the Pro starts at $10.99.
1124
00:36:50,966 --> 00:36:53,566
Apple is now shipping...
1125
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,233
Apple now by default gives it 256 gigs
1126
00:36:57,233 --> 00:36:59,966
instead of 128 gigs to start with.
1127
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,733
All these companies have got to change
1128
00:37:03,733 --> 00:37:04,866
the defaults to like a
1129
00:37:04,866 --> 00:37:05,966
terabyte on everything.
1130
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:07,800
I'm getting tired of these small...
1131
00:37:08,133 --> 00:37:11,166
Like I get it.
1132
00:37:11,333 --> 00:37:12,866
They make a lot of money.
1133
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:15,833
The cloud is nice honestly and the way
1134
00:37:15,833 --> 00:37:16,866
iPhone manages my data.
1135
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:19,333
If I don't use an app for a very long
1136
00:37:19,333 --> 00:37:22,666
time, you can enable this or disable it.
1137
00:37:22,666 --> 00:37:23,900
So it's like totally optional, but you
1138
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:24,833
can make it so that it
1139
00:37:24,833 --> 00:37:27,166
will save all the data for it,
1140
00:37:27,166 --> 00:37:29,866
but it will delete the app.
1141
00:37:29,866 --> 00:37:31,599
It's like the most of the content.
1142
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:33,266
Let's say it's a game and I
1143
00:37:33,266 --> 00:37:34,033
don't play it for a while.
1144
00:37:35,133 --> 00:37:38,633
You can select apps and games to say,
1145
00:37:38,633 --> 00:37:41,866
"Hey, don't ever remove this for space."
1146
00:37:42,133 --> 00:37:43,599
But for some of the other stuff, it will.
1147
00:37:44,133 --> 00:37:44,900
Because I have fast enough
1148
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:46,066
internet, it's not a big deal.
1149
00:37:46,099 --> 00:37:46,966
It will re-download it
1150
00:37:46,966 --> 00:37:48,533
if I need it once a year.
1151
00:37:49,166 --> 00:37:51,733
But I have to say, it is really nice.
1152
00:37:53,733 --> 00:37:54,966
It can be annoying, but it's nice.
1153
00:37:57,033 --> 00:37:58,766
Yeah, so my brother is trying to upgrade
1154
00:37:58,766 --> 00:38:03,366
his iPhone 14 Pro to a iPhone 17 Pro.
1155
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,566
And he's finding out that there might not
1156
00:38:06,566 --> 00:38:08,566
be that many good trade-in offers.
1157
00:38:09,433 --> 00:38:12,500
You might have to just take the loss.
1158
00:38:12,966 --> 00:38:15,233
If you're doing the trade-in, you got to
1159
00:38:15,233 --> 00:38:18,900
do it every generation or two.
1160
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:21,466
Once you get past three or four
1161
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:22,199
generations, the
1162
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:24,433
trade-in's not as high just because
1163
00:38:24,433 --> 00:38:28,066
people don't want to
1164
00:38:28,066 --> 00:38:29,166
buy that old of an iPhone.
1165
00:38:30,866 --> 00:38:33,266
To admit, out of all the phones, the
1166
00:38:33,266 --> 00:38:34,866
Apple has a really good trade-in offer.
1167
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:38,300
Yeah, I agree.
1168
00:38:38,333 --> 00:38:39,866
I think it's still among the best.
1169
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:44,433
Because it's like 400 through Apple,
1170
00:38:44,433 --> 00:38:45,233
which I think is still
1171
00:38:45,233 --> 00:38:47,300
pretty decent for a phone
1172
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:47,833
that's like three
1173
00:38:47,833 --> 00:38:48,533
years old at this point.
1174
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:50,500
Yeah, that's actually not bad at all.
1175
00:38:53,433 --> 00:38:56,433
But yeah, it's going to be hard when the
1176
00:38:56,433 --> 00:38:58,000
rest of my family wants to trade-in their
1177
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,166
iPhone 14s as well.
1178
00:38:59,966 --> 00:39:01,633
Thankfully, I don't have an iPhone, so I
1179
00:39:01,633 --> 00:39:02,466
don't have to worry about this.
1180
00:39:04,066 --> 00:39:06,166
Yeah, well, I mean, you have to worry
1181
00:39:06,166 --> 00:39:07,266
about upgrading no matter what.
1182
00:39:08,566 --> 00:39:10,166
Yeah, but I mean, I
1183
00:39:10,166 --> 00:39:11,099
already did my upgrade.
1184
00:39:11,099 --> 00:39:14,766
I have an S25 Ultra, so
1185
00:39:14,766 --> 00:39:15,633
I won't have to worry.
1186
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:17,000
You have for a while.
1187
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:17,833
Probably for a few more years.
1188
00:39:17,833 --> 00:39:18,866
Yeah, for a while.
1189
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,133
I mean, I do a lot of mobile development
1190
00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:26,599
and where I work right
1191
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:29,666
now, I do both Android and iOS
1192
00:39:30,066 --> 00:39:30,833
along with web.
1193
00:39:32,166 --> 00:39:34,666
It is beneficial to have both the old
1194
00:39:34,666 --> 00:39:36,066
phones and the new ones.
1195
00:39:36,066 --> 00:39:38,866
So I might be exceptional.
1196
00:39:39,266 --> 00:39:40,566
I think some people that upgrade every
1197
00:39:40,566 --> 00:39:43,833
year are just chasing some
1198
00:39:43,833 --> 00:39:45,533
type of change in their life,
1199
00:39:45,533 --> 00:39:46,033
I guess.
1200
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,333
Or they're like mobile
1201
00:39:48,333 --> 00:39:50,000
reviewers like MKBHD.
1202
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,233
They get it for free,
1203
00:39:51,233 --> 00:39:51,966
though, most likely.
1204
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:53,099
Most of them do.
1205
00:39:53,099 --> 00:39:53,566
It's still an upgrade
1206
00:39:53,566 --> 00:39:54,833
every year, even if it's free.
1207
00:39:57,833 --> 00:39:58,166
Okay.
1208
00:40:00,133 --> 00:40:01,033
I'm not wrong, am I?
1209
00:40:01,433 --> 00:40:01,900
You're not.
1210
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:03,033
You're technically right.
1211
00:40:03,833 --> 00:40:04,633
I'll throw that out.
1212
00:40:04,866 --> 00:40:05,066
Technically.
1213
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,266
The best type of right.
1214
00:40:07,266 --> 00:40:08,333
So that's kind of right.
1215
00:40:09,833 --> 00:40:10,633
Oh, man.
1216
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:14,766
So yeah, I mean, phones are happening.
1217
00:40:15,666 --> 00:40:16,300
New iPhone.
1218
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:18,866
I do find it interesting that they made
1219
00:40:18,866 --> 00:40:21,133
the camera bumps a lot
1220
00:40:21,133 --> 00:40:22,300
bigger than these new iPhones,
1221
00:40:24,833 --> 00:40:25,966
especially with the air too.
1222
00:40:25,966 --> 00:40:29,633
So all the relevant computing components
1223
00:40:29,633 --> 00:40:31,766
are in the camera bump of that device.
1224
00:40:33,533 --> 00:40:33,733
Yeah.
1225
00:40:34,333 --> 00:40:34,633
Yeah.
1226
00:40:35,866 --> 00:40:36,733
And the rest of it is
1227
00:40:36,733 --> 00:40:38,233
just battery, supposedly.
1228
00:40:39,333 --> 00:40:40,166
It's so foolish.
1229
00:40:42,099 --> 00:40:45,833
Like the coverage that I saw was like
1230
00:40:45,833 --> 00:40:47,133
making a joke about the fact
1231
00:40:47,133 --> 00:40:48,733
that there's like the camera
1232
00:40:48,733 --> 00:40:51,733
bump and then there's the very slim thing
1233
00:40:51,733 --> 00:40:53,400
for the battery and the screen.
1234
00:40:54,133 --> 00:40:57,366
And then only for the iPhone Air, they
1235
00:40:57,366 --> 00:40:59,400
have a MagSafe battery
1236
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,966
attachment because the battery
1237
00:41:00,966 --> 00:41:02,000
won't last all day.
1238
00:41:04,033 --> 00:41:04,666
That makes sense.
1239
00:41:04,933 --> 00:41:05,166
Yeah.
1240
00:41:05,166 --> 00:41:06,033
I don't.
1241
00:41:06,666 --> 00:41:10,066
I mean, Apple's intended tends to be more
1242
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:12,033
like efficient with
1243
00:41:12,033 --> 00:41:13,433
their software and whatnot.
1244
00:41:13,433 --> 00:41:14,666
So I can imagine the battery being a
1245
00:41:14,666 --> 00:41:15,966
little longer, like battery
1246
00:41:15,966 --> 00:41:16,833
life being a little better
1247
00:41:16,833 --> 00:41:18,066
than it doesn't last a day.
1248
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,099
Like that's all their phones, from my
1249
00:41:20,099 --> 00:41:20,633
understanding, will
1250
00:41:20,633 --> 00:41:21,966
last a day of normal use.
1251
00:41:22,433 --> 00:41:24,433
If you're going very intense, they won't.
1252
00:41:24,833 --> 00:41:28,800
Their marketing says all day battery, but
1253
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,866
there is speculation.
1254
00:41:31,366 --> 00:41:33,133
I don't know if it's been tested yet or
1255
00:41:33,133 --> 00:41:33,766
not, but there's
1256
00:41:33,766 --> 00:41:35,000
speculation that because they
1257
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,433
released the MagSafe battery for the Air,
1258
00:41:38,766 --> 00:41:39,866
that it probably will
1259
00:41:39,866 --> 00:41:41,366
only barely last a day
1260
00:41:41,366 --> 00:41:42,766
with very light usage.
1261
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:45,433
So I would be shocked.
1262
00:41:45,633 --> 00:41:48,966
I like Apple's pretty meticulous with
1263
00:41:48,966 --> 00:41:50,566
that type of stuff, but I don't know.
1264
00:41:51,033 --> 00:41:51,533
It'd be interesting.
1265
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:52,433
I do.
1266
00:41:52,433 --> 00:41:54,266
We'll have to say that battery will
1267
00:41:54,266 --> 00:41:55,733
probably work with the other devices too.
1268
00:41:56,833 --> 00:41:57,099
Yeah.
1269
00:41:57,733 --> 00:41:58,833
I'm not here to defend though.
1270
00:41:58,966 --> 00:41:59,500
We'll see.
1271
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:00,199
We'll see.
1272
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,833
If it doesn't last all
1273
00:42:01,833 --> 00:42:03,833
day, that's a huge loss.
1274
00:42:04,166 --> 00:42:05,733
That's a huge L for them.
1275
00:42:06,033 --> 00:42:06,233
Yeah.
1276
00:42:07,266 --> 00:42:08,166
We'll find out.
1277
00:42:08,166 --> 00:42:09,466
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
1278
00:42:10,233 --> 00:42:11,099
In the meantime though,
1279
00:42:12,033 --> 00:42:13,066
speaking of huge loss,
1280
00:42:14,033 --> 00:42:16,866
Nintendo got this patent and it's a huge
1281
00:42:16,866 --> 00:42:18,333
loss for the gaming industry as a whole.
1282
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:21,433
So for those who don't know what
1283
00:42:21,433 --> 00:42:22,333
happened, essentially
1284
00:42:22,333 --> 00:42:23,866
Nintendo got a patent for
1285
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,766
what is effectively summoning a character
1286
00:42:25,766 --> 00:42:27,099
and letting it fight one another.
1287
00:42:28,966 --> 00:42:30,099
I hate them so much.
1288
00:42:32,566 --> 00:42:35,800
So I hate patents period
1289
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,166
though, but yeah, not a fan.
1290
00:42:40,333 --> 00:42:43,466
Like I get it for like small, medium
1291
00:42:43,466 --> 00:42:45,699
businesses to help protect their IP and
1292
00:42:45,699 --> 00:42:46,733
to like get somewhere.
1293
00:42:46,966 --> 00:42:48,766
So big companies don't steal from them,
1294
00:42:48,766 --> 00:42:50,400
but big companies weaponize it.
1295
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,833
And we've really got to reform this or
1296
00:42:52,833 --> 00:42:53,400
we're just going to end
1297
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,500
up like who wants to do it?
1298
00:42:55,500 --> 00:42:57,966
Who wants to be a small creator, a game
1299
00:42:57,966 --> 00:42:58,466
developer that wants to, because
1300
00:42:58,733 --> 00:43:02,566
summoning a character to fight someone
1301
00:43:02,566 --> 00:43:04,666
else is a very common
1302
00:43:04,666 --> 00:43:09,666
thing to do these days with
1303
00:43:09,666 --> 00:43:13,866
games like that's how many different
1304
00:43:13,866 --> 00:43:14,766
games that are Pokemon
1305
00:43:14,766 --> 00:43:16,133
ask that are like this.
1306
00:43:16,533 --> 00:43:23,400
Like, yeah, I mean, can you, is it even
1307
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,300
like legal to have like a patent for a game mechanic?
1308
00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:30,566
Yeah, it is.
1309
00:43:30,833 --> 00:43:31,966
I thought that that was it.
1310
00:43:32,266 --> 00:43:33,833
I think it has to be a specific
1311
00:43:33,833 --> 00:43:35,466
implementation of the game.
1312
00:43:35,466 --> 00:43:39,333
Because remember, remember that one
1313
00:43:39,333 --> 00:43:40,599
studio had that patent
1314
00:43:40,599 --> 00:43:41,966
for like the Nemesis system.
1315
00:43:42,266 --> 00:43:43,133
And now that studio
1316
00:43:43,133 --> 00:43:44,633
doesn't even exist anymore.
1317
00:43:44,966 --> 00:43:45,166
Right.
1318
00:43:45,233 --> 00:43:45,800
But the past is.
1319
00:43:47,166 --> 00:43:48,166
Yeah, the past is the
1320
00:43:48,166 --> 00:43:51,033
radio dial in mass effect.
1321
00:43:51,033 --> 00:43:52,133
That's a patent.
1322
00:43:52,133 --> 00:43:59,433
That's patented. There's the dialogue. Yes. That's a patent.
1323
00:43:59,699 --> 00:44:00,533
I didn't know that.
1324
00:44:00,533 --> 00:44:02,066
And yes, it is.
1325
00:44:02,366 --> 00:44:03,666
It is disgusting.
1326
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,166
It's this type of stuff where it doesn't
1327
00:44:07,166 --> 00:44:10,233
take any real money to
1328
00:44:10,233 --> 00:44:11,733
create these types of
1329
00:44:11,733 --> 00:44:13,133
mechanics.
1330
00:44:13,533 --> 00:44:14,533
That's what the whole
1331
00:44:14,533 --> 00:44:15,966
point of patents are for.
1332
00:44:16,233 --> 00:44:18,066
Technically is innovation that costs a lot so that people can recoup their costs.
1333
00:44:18,066 --> 00:44:19,033
It's not just that it's not just that it's not just that it's not just that it's not that it's not just that it costs a lot so
1334
00:44:19,033 --> 00:44:20,099
that people can recoup
1335
00:44:20,099 --> 00:44:23,000
their costs in creating the
1336
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:23,433
patent.
1337
00:44:25,133 --> 00:44:27,466
Software patents are a joke because
1338
00:44:27,466 --> 00:44:28,866
they're always
1339
00:44:28,866 --> 00:44:30,733
incremental on someone else's work.
1340
00:44:32,166 --> 00:44:38,966
And they should be removed altogether.
1341
00:44:39,533 --> 00:44:41,133
This is a huge thing
1342
00:44:41,133 --> 00:44:41,966
that needs to be reformed.
1343
00:44:41,966 --> 00:44:42,666
It's just going to destroy
1344
00:44:42,666 --> 00:44:43,433
the gaming industry more.
1345
00:44:43,466 --> 00:44:44,800
Mm-hmm.
1346
00:44:45,433 --> 00:44:47,000
So the specific implementation of this
1347
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,233
patent, I believe, is for
1348
00:44:48,233 --> 00:44:51,199
third-person games like Pokemon
1349
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:51,733
RCS.
1350
00:44:51,966 --> 00:44:55,033
Because this whole-- but it's really-- as
1351
00:44:55,033 --> 00:44:55,900
we all know, it's meant
1352
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,266
to be another patent in
1353
00:44:58,266 --> 00:44:59,733
their case against Power World.
1354
00:45:00,566 --> 00:45:01,633
Which at this point, I think we've talked
1355
00:45:01,633 --> 00:45:02,633
more about Power World's
1356
00:45:02,633 --> 00:45:03,466
lawsuit than the actual
1357
00:45:03,466 --> 00:45:04,066
game itself.
1358
00:45:05,133 --> 00:45:05,300
Yeah.
1359
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,000
Which is kind of unfortunate, really.
1360
00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:10,533
I mean, Power World is a fun game.
1361
00:45:10,633 --> 00:45:13,333
But I played a lot of it,
1362
00:45:13,333 --> 00:45:14,333
and I'm kind of over it.
1363
00:45:14,733 --> 00:45:16,566
It's just unfortunate that a game like
1364
00:45:16,566 --> 00:45:19,199
that is being fought.
1365
00:45:19,433 --> 00:45:22,166
They have to fight so hard to just stay
1366
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:25,466
above water or to exist.
1367
00:45:26,099 --> 00:45:26,833
Where, yeah, is it a
1368
00:45:26,833 --> 00:45:29,566
little bit of a copy of Pokemon?
1369
00:45:29,833 --> 00:45:31,233
But you could say that about everything,
1370
00:45:31,566 --> 00:45:32,433
even Pokemon itself.
1371
00:45:33,133 --> 00:45:33,300
Yeah.
1372
00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:35,733
I mean, I think it's like a-- I think it
1373
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:37,633
really should fall under parody.
1374
00:45:37,866 --> 00:45:38,300
Because like--
1375
00:45:38,566 --> 00:45:38,666
Yeah.
1376
00:45:39,733 --> 00:45:40,266
It kind of-- I mean,
1377
00:45:40,266 --> 00:45:41,000
it's Pokemon with guns.
1378
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:42,066
I mean, come on, dude.
1379
00:45:42,566 --> 00:45:44,033
It sounds like a parody already.
1380
00:45:44,466 --> 00:45:44,833
Oh, yeah.
1381
00:45:44,833 --> 00:45:46,900
But not only that, though, it seems like
1382
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:50,066
Hoyo, the creators of
1383
00:45:50,066 --> 00:45:52,033
Honkai Star Rail and Genshin
1384
00:45:52,033 --> 00:45:53,233
Impact, they're making
1385
00:45:53,233 --> 00:45:54,333
a creature game, too.
1386
00:45:55,933 --> 00:45:57,266
And it looks like they're concerned that
1387
00:45:57,266 --> 00:45:59,099
maybe Nintendo could go after them, too.
1388
00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:01,500
And they'd be a much bigger target than
1389
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:03,266
Pocket Pair, because they
1390
00:46:03,266 --> 00:46:04,166
make a shitload of money.
1391
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,300
I hate this.
1392
00:46:08,733 --> 00:46:10,466
Is this happening in Japan,
1393
00:46:10,466 --> 00:46:12,000
though, like these lawsuits?
1394
00:46:12,566 --> 00:46:14,500
I believe it's a US patent, right?
1395
00:46:14,833 --> 00:46:15,666
This is a US patent.
1396
00:46:15,666 --> 00:46:16,533
This is a US patent.
1397
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:17,000
Yeah.
1398
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:17,733
That's--
1399
00:46:18,033 --> 00:46:18,233
Yeah.
1400
00:46:18,433 --> 00:46:19,066
Then we could at least
1401
00:46:19,066 --> 00:46:20,166
do something about it.
1402
00:46:21,166 --> 00:46:23,033
I don't think there's a patent-- I don't
1403
00:46:23,033 --> 00:46:23,433
think there's a
1404
00:46:23,433 --> 00:46:25,633
lawsuit in America just yet.
1405
00:46:25,633 --> 00:46:26,733
But I think they're going to use these
1406
00:46:26,733 --> 00:46:28,366
American patents to
1407
00:46:28,366 --> 00:46:30,233
fuel their Japanese fight.
1408
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:32,633
I don't know.
1409
00:46:32,633 --> 00:46:33,233
It's a crazy
1410
00:46:33,233 --> 00:46:34,533
situation, especially since--
1411
00:46:35,533 --> 00:46:37,333
Yeah, there's a specific
1412
00:46:37,333 --> 00:46:38,599
implementation for this.
1413
00:46:38,866 --> 00:46:39,933
But at the same time, though,
1414
00:46:40,633 --> 00:46:42,766
theoretically, Nintendo could just go
1415
00:46:42,766 --> 00:46:44,800
after anyone else who
1416
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,766
are using the concept of a summon, so to
1417
00:46:46,766 --> 00:46:48,333
speak, which is kind of stupid, too.
1418
00:46:50,166 --> 00:46:51,266
Like, they could go after Digimon.
1419
00:46:53,033 --> 00:46:53,233
Yeah.
1420
00:46:53,300 --> 00:46:56,533
They can go after Shinigami Tensei, which
1421
00:46:56,533 --> 00:46:57,766
has you recruiting
1422
00:46:57,766 --> 00:47:00,766
demons and then summoning them
1423
00:47:00,766 --> 00:47:03,466
to fight with you alongside you as well.
1424
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:03,900
Wouldn't--
1425
00:47:04,633 --> 00:47:06,533
Would Monster Rancher count or no?
1426
00:47:07,866 --> 00:47:10,066
I think Monster Rancher could count, too.
1427
00:47:10,433 --> 00:47:11,000
Do you summon
1428
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,733
creatures in Monster Rancher?
1429
00:47:12,733 --> 00:47:14,133
Well, I don't know if
1430
00:47:14,133 --> 00:47:16,133
you-- I don't think it means--
1431
00:47:16,366 --> 00:47:18,233
I mean, you don't technically summon
1432
00:47:18,233 --> 00:47:19,766
creatures in Pokemon, either.
1433
00:47:20,033 --> 00:47:21,266
You release them out of their Pokemon.
1434
00:47:21,266 --> 00:47:22,366
You can't summon them, essentially.
1435
00:47:23,833 --> 00:47:26,133
Right, but the only Monster Rancher game
1436
00:47:26,133 --> 00:47:27,966
I've ever played was the one on PS1,
1437
00:47:28,366 --> 00:47:31,366
and you could summon monsters by putting
1438
00:47:31,366 --> 00:47:33,099
a music disc in, and it would--
1439
00:47:33,199 --> 00:47:33,766
Mm.
1440
00:47:34,833 --> 00:47:36,500
Generate a monster based on the hash of
1441
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:38,333
the device or the disc.
1442
00:47:38,333 --> 00:47:39,666
It's like, how is that
1443
00:47:39,666 --> 00:47:41,133
not summoning, you know?
1444
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:43,366
Dude.
1445
00:47:43,866 --> 00:47:45,066
It's ridiculous, man.
1446
00:47:46,566 --> 00:47:48,166
Yeah, summoning is crazy, man.
1447
00:47:49,266 --> 00:47:51,266
You can summon in Final Fantasy as well.
1448
00:47:51,266 --> 00:47:53,866
You can summon creatures to fight-- well,
1449
00:47:53,866 --> 00:47:54,933
it depends on the Final Fantasy.
1450
00:47:55,266 --> 00:47:57,733
Sometimes, I think, you just summon and
1451
00:47:57,733 --> 00:47:58,699
they just do a big attack,
1452
00:47:59,433 --> 00:48:01,233
and sometimes you summon them in their
1453
00:48:01,233 --> 00:48:03,166
actual controllable characters,
1454
00:48:03,866 --> 00:48:05,699
like in Final Fantasy X, than your
1455
00:48:05,699 --> 00:48:08,633
animas-- no, your aeons.
1456
00:48:10,699 --> 00:48:15,466
So not to change it a little-- like what
1457
00:48:15,466 --> 00:48:16,366
we're talking about a little bit.
1458
00:48:16,733 --> 00:48:22,066
But the U.S. grant office or whatever-- I
1459
00:48:22,066 --> 00:48:22,833
can't remember what it's called.
1460
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:23,866
Their patent-- not
1461
00:48:23,866 --> 00:48:25,000
their grant office, sorry.
1462
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,300
Their patent and trade office.
1463
00:48:26,833 --> 00:48:27,666
How compromised is it?
1464
00:48:27,666 --> 00:48:29,433
Because a lot of the other parts of the
1465
00:48:29,433 --> 00:48:31,033
government are pretty-- in my opinion,
1466
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:33,800
compromised, meaning they flushed out a
1467
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,666
lot of the people that were doing the job
1468
00:48:35,666 --> 00:48:36,633
just to put people that
1469
00:48:36,633 --> 00:48:37,833
aren't qualified at all.
1470
00:48:39,666 --> 00:48:41,099
And I'm wondering if companies are going
1471
00:48:41,099 --> 00:48:41,866
to be able to get more--
1472
00:48:41,866 --> 00:48:42,333
because this should
1473
00:48:42,333 --> 00:48:43,166
not have gone through.
1474
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:45,433
I have worked in a
1475
00:48:45,433 --> 00:48:46,699
patent office for software,
1476
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:50,333
and it is actually typically difficult.
1477
00:48:51,033 --> 00:48:53,533
And I'm assuming money does help and
1478
00:48:53,533 --> 00:48:54,533
certain things do help,
1479
00:48:54,566 --> 00:48:57,866
but I'm wondering if Nintendo is going to
1480
00:48:57,866 --> 00:48:58,766
be trying to do more,
1481
00:48:59,066 --> 00:49:00,033
and some of these companies are going to
1482
00:49:00,033 --> 00:49:01,633
try to put more patents through
1483
00:49:01,633 --> 00:49:05,333
that are obviously should not be granted.
1484
00:49:06,099 --> 00:49:06,666
Like this is--
1485
00:49:06,766 --> 00:49:08,166
I'd love to see them
1486
00:49:08,166 --> 00:49:09,333
try pushing it even more,
1487
00:49:09,333 --> 00:49:11,199
because obviously with Nintendo, you
1488
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:11,833
know, you give them an
1489
00:49:11,833 --> 00:49:12,933
inch, they'll take a mile.
1490
00:49:13,633 --> 00:49:14,500
I think they will.
1491
00:49:15,066 --> 00:49:16,733
This is not a good sign.
1492
00:49:16,733 --> 00:49:17,333
This should not have
1493
00:49:17,333 --> 00:49:18,533
gone through, and it did.
1494
00:49:19,333 --> 00:49:20,366
Like maybe a couple years
1495
00:49:20,366 --> 00:49:21,099
ago, it could have been like,
1496
00:49:21,766 --> 00:49:24,666
I-- this might show that it's open season
1497
00:49:24,666 --> 00:49:26,133
for maybe other companies,
1498
00:49:26,133 --> 00:49:27,966
and that's just going to
1499
00:49:27,966 --> 00:49:29,266
destroy the game market.
1500
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:32,866
A lot of mechanics are
1501
00:49:32,866 --> 00:49:34,033
built on top of each other,
1502
00:49:34,033 --> 00:49:37,166
and if you have to worry about copying
1503
00:49:37,166 --> 00:49:38,433
some mechanic that's a trade--
1504
00:49:38,433 --> 00:49:39,366
I don't want it.
1505
00:49:39,533 --> 00:49:41,699
I will stop creating games when I have to
1506
00:49:41,699 --> 00:49:42,699
start thinking about
1507
00:49:42,733 --> 00:49:43,466
if I'm creating
1508
00:49:43,466 --> 00:49:45,666
something that is patented
1509
00:49:47,133 --> 00:49:48,533
without knowing if there's like 20
1510
00:49:48,533 --> 00:49:50,333
different patents to worry about.
1511
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,766
Yeah, and even-- I mean, even back then,
1512
00:49:53,766 --> 00:49:54,500
if you guys remember,
1513
00:49:54,833 --> 00:49:56,733
Bandai Namco used to hold a patent for
1514
00:49:56,733 --> 00:49:58,166
having mini games on
1515
00:49:58,166 --> 00:49:59,066
like a loading screen.
1516
00:50:00,866 --> 00:50:02,699
That patent did expire, yes,
1517
00:50:02,699 --> 00:50:04,766
but by the time it expired,
1518
00:50:05,033 --> 00:50:06,233
you know, we got SSDs and
1519
00:50:06,233 --> 00:50:07,733
games load super fast, right?
1520
00:50:09,099 --> 00:50:10,500
And we've gotten to the point where like,
1521
00:50:11,266 --> 00:50:13,033
we've started masking loading screens
1522
00:50:13,033 --> 00:50:13,966
instead of having like,
1523
00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:15,866
dedicated loading screens, right?
1524
00:50:15,866 --> 00:50:17,266
Like, you know what I'm saying?
1525
00:50:17,533 --> 00:50:20,599
So like, that patent expired doesn't even
1526
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:21,300
matter anymore, right?
1527
00:50:22,166 --> 00:50:22,366
Yeah.
1528
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,000
Why can't-- I'm not saying--
1529
00:50:25,233 --> 00:50:25,599
Why can't the--
1530
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:26,066
Oh, sorry, go ahead.
1531
00:50:26,066 --> 00:50:27,400
Why can't Doge get rid of
1532
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,000
the patent and trademark?
1533
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:29,833
Well, I don't want it
1534
00:50:29,833 --> 00:50:30,533
to get rid of trademarks.
1535
00:50:30,766 --> 00:50:31,466
I think trademarks are
1536
00:50:31,466 --> 00:50:33,199
important, per se, but like--
1537
00:50:33,933 --> 00:50:37,366
and patents are too, but
1538
00:50:37,366 --> 00:50:38,566
it's so heavily abused,
1539
00:50:38,566 --> 00:50:39,933
I'd almost rather it just be gone.
1540
00:50:43,533 --> 00:50:45,500
Well, we can't-- well, I don't know.
1541
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:46,066
Money. Money.
1542
00:50:47,099 --> 00:50:47,566
Oh, I--
1543
00:50:47,566 --> 00:50:47,900
Money.
1544
00:50:47,900 --> 00:50:48,500
I know exactly.
1545
00:50:49,166 --> 00:50:50,866
The other thing is, like, patents,
1546
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,733
trademarks, and copyrights are like,
1547
00:50:53,099 --> 00:50:55,000
part of the Constitution, so
1548
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,433
we can't just get rid of it.
1549
00:50:56,733 --> 00:50:57,633
We can get rid of like--
1550
00:50:57,633 --> 00:50:57,866
Are patents, though?
1551
00:50:58,366 --> 00:50:59,633
I'm pretty sure patents are.
1552
00:50:59,633 --> 00:51:00,233
I don't know.
1553
00:51:00,233 --> 00:51:03,766
I think patents are a little newer, but I
1554
00:51:03,766 --> 00:51:05,233
could be wrong about that.
1555
00:51:06,033 --> 00:51:08,366
When you say part of the Constitution,
1556
00:51:08,666 --> 00:51:10,866
do you mean like, it's in like, the main
1557
00:51:10,866 --> 00:51:13,166
body or like, or it's an amendment?
1558
00:51:14,166 --> 00:51:16,533
Patents are in Article 1, Section 8,
1559
00:51:16,766 --> 00:51:17,866
Closet of the Constitution.
1560
00:51:18,666 --> 00:51:19,133
And there you go.
1561
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:20,000
Then--
1562
00:51:20,066 --> 00:51:20,633
That's crazy.
1563
00:51:20,966 --> 00:51:21,833
Admit the Constitution.
1564
00:51:22,066 --> 00:51:23,066
I'm not against that.
1565
00:51:24,633 --> 00:51:26,099
I don't like patents.
1566
00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,099
It was a-- you can obviously tell.
1567
00:51:29,366 --> 00:51:31,466
They've just been heavily abused so much.
1568
00:51:36,966 --> 00:51:39,433
Patents suck, and Nintendo sucks too.
1569
00:51:40,166 --> 00:51:41,500
But, you know, it's about that--
1570
00:51:41,966 --> 00:51:43,366
despite the fact that Nintendo sucks,
1571
00:51:43,633 --> 00:51:44,933
sometimes it can put on a good show.
1572
00:51:46,166 --> 00:51:46,633
Like so.
1573
00:51:47,066 --> 00:51:48,500
I agree with that.
1574
00:51:49,766 --> 00:51:50,933
So, hold on.
1575
00:51:51,266 --> 00:51:52,433
I don't actually have a new article for
1576
00:51:52,433 --> 00:51:54,266
this, but I'll read out some
1577
00:51:54,266 --> 00:51:57,500
of the stuff that was announced.
1578
00:51:58,366 --> 00:52:00,099
So they announced a new Mario Galaxy
1579
00:52:00,099 --> 00:52:02,366
movie alongside a
1580
00:52:02,366 --> 00:52:04,066
re-release of Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.
1581
00:52:04,166 --> 00:52:04,433
Hmm.
1582
00:52:06,566 --> 00:52:08,866
They announced Virtual Boy games with
1583
00:52:08,866 --> 00:52:10,533
some Virtual Boy accessories to come--
1584
00:52:10,833 --> 00:52:12,466
to go along with it too.
1585
00:52:13,333 --> 00:52:13,866
So, hold on.
1586
00:52:13,866 --> 00:52:15,266
Let me show you what it looks like.
1587
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:17,599
Oh.
1588
00:52:18,566 --> 00:52:20,633
Virtual Boy accessory.
1589
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,900
So there's actually two accessories that
1590
00:52:23,900 --> 00:52:24,966
you slot your switch into.
1591
00:52:24,966 --> 00:52:26,466
You can either get the one
1592
00:52:26,466 --> 00:52:27,633
that looks like a Virtual Boy,
1593
00:52:28,666 --> 00:52:29,866
or the like, Google
1594
00:52:29,866 --> 00:52:31,266
Cardboard, like, Virtual Boy.
1595
00:52:31,266 --> 00:52:32,366
[laughs]
1596
00:52:33,199 --> 00:52:34,033
The Cardboard.
1597
00:52:34,900 --> 00:52:35,033
I--
1598
00:52:35,266 --> 00:52:36,066
It's still like--
1599
00:52:36,266 --> 00:52:37,233
Oh, 25 bucks.
1600
00:52:37,566 --> 00:52:38,233
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1601
00:52:38,233 --> 00:52:38,566
I was--
1602
00:52:38,566 --> 00:52:38,866
Oh, 25.
1603
00:52:38,866 --> 00:52:40,466
I was really expecting to be like 60.
1604
00:52:41,233 --> 00:52:42,866
That's how bad their pricing is that I'm
1605
00:52:42,866 --> 00:52:44,633
like, "Oh, okay, 25. That's not too bad."
1606
00:52:45,266 --> 00:52:45,599
The--
1607
00:52:45,900 --> 00:52:47,733
If you're looking to spend more though,
1608
00:52:47,733 --> 00:52:50,800
you can spend $100 on the Virtual Boy.
1609
00:52:51,133 --> 00:52:51,366
Yeah.
1610
00:52:52,033 --> 00:52:53,566
I think it's pretty cool, actually.
1611
00:52:54,933 --> 00:52:56,933
Yeah, so it slots in-- the screen slots
1612
00:52:56,933 --> 00:52:57,933
in like this, and it's
1613
00:52:57,933 --> 00:52:58,800
like Google Cardboard.
1614
00:52:59,366 --> 00:52:59,666
Yeah.
1615
00:53:00,566 --> 00:53:03,333
So this whole-- this whole accessory just
1616
00:53:03,333 --> 00:53:05,233
to play like the 14 games
1617
00:53:05,233 --> 00:53:06,933
in the Virtual Boy library?
1618
00:53:08,266 --> 00:53:08,900
That's correct.
1619
00:53:09,566 --> 00:53:10,233
I think it's cool.
1620
00:53:11,099 --> 00:53:12,633
I also don't need to play it, so I don't
1621
00:53:12,633 --> 00:53:13,633
need to get it if I don't want,
1622
00:53:13,633 --> 00:53:14,366
but I think it's cool
1623
00:53:14,366 --> 00:53:15,366
that they have the option.
1624
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,333
Maybe.
1625
00:53:16,699 --> 00:53:19,133
What if like, they actually release new,
1626
00:53:19,133 --> 00:53:20,533
like, unreleased Game Boy--
1627
00:53:20,933 --> 00:53:22,099
or Virtual Boy games like
1628
00:53:22,099 --> 00:53:25,266
they did with the Star Fox 2?
1629
00:53:25,266 --> 00:53:25,833
With Star Fox 2?
1630
00:53:27,033 --> 00:53:27,733
That would be cool.
1631
00:53:27,733 --> 00:53:28,066
They could.
1632
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,133
That would be kind of cool, actually.
1633
00:53:30,433 --> 00:53:32,733
I'd be interested in that.
1634
00:53:33,433 --> 00:53:34,566
I-- honestly, I'm
1635
00:53:34,566 --> 00:53:36,133
interested in the accessory as is.
1636
00:53:36,133 --> 00:53:37,633
I don't think it-- like, could it be
1637
00:53:37,633 --> 00:53:38,699
cheaper, of course, but--
1638
00:53:38,966 --> 00:53:39,833
[DING]
1639
00:53:40,500 --> 00:53:41,633
It's up to them if they want more cells.
1640
00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:43,466
Did you guys play the
1641
00:53:43,466 --> 00:53:44,833
Virtual Boy when it first came out?
1642
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:47,533
That's the thing.
1643
00:53:47,533 --> 00:53:49,566
I've never played it before, but I've
1644
00:53:49,566 --> 00:53:52,133
only seen stuff on it over the years.
1645
00:53:52,133 --> 00:53:53,900
I've seen the AVGN video of it.
1646
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,066
My friend-- when I was in elementary
1647
00:53:57,066 --> 00:53:58,933
school, my friend Matt had one,
1648
00:53:59,766 --> 00:54:01,199
and he was the only person I ever knew,
1649
00:54:01,199 --> 00:54:02,800
and I played it for about 10 minutes,
1650
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,933
and it gave me a really bad headache, and
1651
00:54:04,933 --> 00:54:06,766
I was not interested after that.
1652
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:09,599
I've heard that it does that, yeah.
1653
00:54:10,566 --> 00:54:11,833
That kind of reminds me how I'm the only
1654
00:54:11,833 --> 00:54:13,500
person I've ever known that has a--
1655
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:15,533
that had a Sega Saturn growing up.
1656
00:54:17,366 --> 00:54:17,933
You guys ever played a
1657
00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:18,866
Sega Saturn? It's awesome.
1658
00:54:19,133 --> 00:54:20,133
I've played it a little bit.
1659
00:54:20,133 --> 00:54:21,333
I just had a regular Sega.
1660
00:54:24,733 --> 00:54:25,699
So we'll see what else.
1661
00:54:25,699 --> 00:54:28,033
Metroid Prime 4 has a release date.
1662
00:54:29,033 --> 00:54:32,966
We have Pokémon Pokeotopia, which kind
1663
00:54:32,966 --> 00:54:34,233
of looks like Minecraft almost.
1664
00:54:36,966 --> 00:54:39,366
We've got Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave,
1665
00:54:40,233 --> 00:54:41,533
Dragon Quest VII Remake,
1666
00:54:42,333 --> 00:54:42,766
Yoshi and the
1667
00:54:42,766 --> 00:54:44,900
Mysterious Book, and some ports.
1668
00:54:45,533 --> 00:54:46,666
Resident Evil 9 is
1669
00:54:46,666 --> 00:54:47,833
coming to the Switch 2.
1670
00:54:48,166 --> 00:54:53,733
And, of course, Final Fantasy VII Remake.
1671
00:54:54,099 --> 00:54:54,933
I think both the remakes.
1672
00:54:56,366 --> 00:54:57,633
And there was one that was shown off in
1673
00:54:57,633 --> 00:54:59,266
the Japanese direct that
1674
00:54:59,266 --> 00:55:00,199
I'm kind of interested in,
1675
00:55:00,699 --> 00:55:02,733
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection,
1676
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:07,500
which includes the trilogy, but also the
1677
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:09,033
two different versions of each game,
1678
00:55:09,033 --> 00:55:11,533
since the Battle Network and the Star
1679
00:55:11,533 --> 00:55:12,333
Force games did that
1680
00:55:12,333 --> 00:55:15,500
with two different versions of each game, kind of like Pokémon.
1681
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:19,566
I do wish they had more
1682
00:55:19,566 --> 00:55:22,266
Nintendo-specific games,
1683
00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:24,133
even though, I mean,
1684
00:55:24,133 --> 00:55:26,966
Metroid Prime 4 Nintendo-specific.
1685
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:29,133
Pokémon.
1686
00:55:31,333 --> 00:55:32,533
Fire Emblem.
1687
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:34,966
I guess what I wanted is some classic.
1688
00:55:36,099 --> 00:55:37,833
What, you mean like a Zelda?
1689
00:55:39,199 --> 00:55:39,466
No.
1690
00:55:39,733 --> 00:55:41,866
Oh, they did put up a trailer.
1691
00:55:41,866 --> 00:55:42,533
I want Luigi's Mansion 4.
1692
00:55:42,533 --> 00:55:43,966
Well, they did put up a trailer for--
1693
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,266
Well, they did put up a trailer for the
1694
00:55:47,266 --> 00:55:49,466
High World Warriors game,
1695
00:55:50,166 --> 00:55:52,033
the Age of Imprisonment
1696
00:55:52,033 --> 00:55:52,633
or something like that.
1697
00:55:52,933 --> 00:55:53,133
Okay.
1698
00:55:54,333 --> 00:55:55,366
So there's that too.
1699
00:55:57,166 --> 00:55:59,666
I get what you're saying though, but they
1700
00:55:59,666 --> 00:56:00,833
also just released two bangers.
1701
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:02,666
Well, I don't know if I'd
1702
00:56:02,666 --> 00:56:04,033
call Mario Kart World a banger.
1703
00:56:04,633 --> 00:56:05,133
It's fun.
1704
00:56:06,099 --> 00:56:06,466
Agreed.
1705
00:56:06,466 --> 00:56:09,966
They did, but for a release of a console,
1706
00:56:10,633 --> 00:56:12,666
I feel like it's just
1707
00:56:12,666 --> 00:56:13,566
been lacking over the years.
1708
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:16,133
I just do not feel like there's been
1709
00:56:16,133 --> 00:56:17,966
enough decent games to come
1710
00:56:17,966 --> 00:56:19,199
out with releases that are
1711
00:56:19,199 --> 00:56:20,533
like unique to why you
1712
00:56:20,533 --> 00:56:21,366
should buy the console.
1713
00:56:23,166 --> 00:56:25,133
Maybe they should have just delayed Tears
1714
00:56:25,133 --> 00:56:27,400
of the Kingdom and made
1715
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:28,466
it switch to exclusive.
1716
00:56:28,466 --> 00:56:28,866
I bet you--
1717
00:56:29,066 --> 00:56:30,833
I thought about exclusive, but like at
1718
00:56:30,833 --> 00:56:33,233
least release it with it.
1719
00:56:34,333 --> 00:56:37,633
Make it more of a reason to get it, but
1720
00:56:37,633 --> 00:56:39,400
I'm not necessarily asking
1721
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,933
for exclusives completely.
1722
00:56:40,966 --> 00:56:44,966
I just would like to see maybe exclusive
1723
00:56:44,966 --> 00:56:45,933
if it's designed
1724
00:56:45,933 --> 00:56:47,666
really well for the console
1725
00:56:47,666 --> 00:56:50,533
and takes account in all the different
1726
00:56:50,533 --> 00:56:52,033
capabilities of console
1727
00:56:52,033 --> 00:56:54,566
maybe then, but I don't know.
1728
00:56:54,566 --> 00:56:56,533
I think consoles are kind of dying.
1729
00:56:57,766 --> 00:57:00,333
Oh yeah, they also announced DLC for
1730
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:02,833
Pokemon Legends ZA, which as
1731
00:57:02,833 --> 00:57:04,066
we all know is not out yet.
1732
00:57:05,766 --> 00:57:07,666
And it's a pretty big expansion too, $30.
1733
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,400
It's got two versions of Mega Ride Shoe.
1734
00:57:13,633 --> 00:57:14,033
That's so--
1735
00:57:14,333 --> 00:57:16,766
Yo, it's so funny that Pikachu was like
1736
00:57:16,766 --> 00:57:18,466
the mascot, but no one
1737
00:57:18,466 --> 00:57:20,199
gives a fuck about Ride Shoe,
1738
00:57:20,566 --> 00:57:22,066
like the evolved version of Pikachu.
1739
00:57:22,866 --> 00:57:24,666
He's not as cute.
1740
00:57:27,166 --> 00:57:28,000
That's so mean.
1741
00:57:29,199 --> 00:57:29,500
Is it?
1742
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:30,233
I like Ride Shoe.
1743
00:57:31,633 --> 00:57:32,633
I don't make the rules.
1744
00:57:33,666 --> 00:57:35,966
You gotta look like you're less dangerous
1745
00:57:35,966 --> 00:57:37,300
and people like that.
1746
00:57:37,699 --> 00:57:38,133
Mm.
1747
00:57:40,733 --> 00:57:41,933
You don't see it being a snake.
1748
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:46,500
Yeah, I mean, also there's some
1749
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:47,633
interesting Pokemon lore
1750
00:57:47,633 --> 00:57:49,533
bits that Nintendo, I guess,
1751
00:57:49,533 --> 00:57:49,833
dropped.
1752
00:57:50,066 --> 00:57:53,266
Like for example, do you guys remember
1753
00:57:53,266 --> 00:57:54,733
Lieutenant Surge in Gen 1?
1754
00:57:56,233 --> 00:57:57,766
He's the Lightning gym leader.
1755
00:57:58,033 --> 00:57:58,933
I do remember, yeah.
1756
00:57:59,266 --> 00:58:00,333
He's the guy that kind of looks like
1757
00:58:00,333 --> 00:58:01,233
Guile from Street Fighter.
1758
00:58:01,566 --> 00:58:05,366
Yeah. Yeah, so I think he was apparently in a
1759
00:58:05,366 --> 00:58:06,833
war and the Lightning
1760
00:58:06,833 --> 00:58:08,166
Pokemon saved his life or
1761
00:58:08,166 --> 00:58:11,300
something like that during the war, but
1762
00:58:11,300 --> 00:58:11,733
then they never
1763
00:58:11,733 --> 00:58:12,800
talked about the war again.
1764
00:58:13,699 --> 00:58:16,766
And they also retconned as Epithet, which
1765
00:58:16,766 --> 00:58:18,133
was the Lightning American.
1766
00:58:22,066 --> 00:58:22,699
And then, I don't know,
1767
00:58:22,699 --> 00:58:24,066
there's a lot of crazy stuff too.
1768
00:58:24,166 --> 00:58:28,033
Apparently, when in development, I think
1769
00:58:28,033 --> 00:58:31,199
there was a rumor that
1770
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:34,166
the grass gym leader, Erika,
1771
00:58:35,033 --> 00:58:38,099
was actually supposed to be a ghost gym
1772
00:58:38,099 --> 00:58:39,599
leader and that she's
1773
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:41,066
actually dead and that the one
1774
00:58:41,066 --> 00:58:42,699
inhabiting her body is a ghost Pokemon.
1775
00:58:44,333 --> 00:58:44,900
But of course, apparently
1776
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:46,033
that never came to fruition.
1777
00:58:49,300 --> 00:58:51,300
I don't know, there's just a lot of crazy
1778
00:58:51,300 --> 00:58:53,599
rumors I've heard about Pokemon
1779
00:58:54,166 --> 00:58:55,533
lore back in the day.
1780
00:58:56,566 --> 00:58:58,133
Oh, and also, we can't forget about the
1781
00:58:58,133 --> 00:59:01,033
Game Freak leaks, if
1782
00:59:01,033 --> 00:59:01,833
you guys remember that,
1783
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,166
from the first episode of this podcast.
1784
00:59:05,966 --> 00:59:07,300
Man, that was such a crazy leak.
1785
00:59:09,233 --> 00:59:10,233
The Game Freak leaks?
1786
00:59:10,233 --> 00:59:10,900
I don't remember that.
1787
00:59:12,199 --> 00:59:13,533
It was the one with the
1788
00:59:13,533 --> 00:59:16,366
stories of like, Tyranitar.
1789
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,433
Oh, yeah, no idea.
1790
00:59:19,633 --> 00:59:19,800
Oh, Tyranitar.
1791
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,199
I don't remember that.
1792
00:59:20,199 --> 00:59:21,366
I don't want to talk about it.
1793
00:59:21,366 --> 00:59:21,900
Never mind.
1794
00:59:26,933 --> 00:59:27,800
Yeah, now you remember.
1795
00:59:28,099 --> 00:59:31,033
But, yeah, Nintendo has been
1796
00:59:31,033 --> 00:59:35,566
kind of all right, I guess.
1797
00:59:36,333 --> 00:59:37,866
The Switch 2 isn't as exciting as the
1798
00:59:37,866 --> 00:59:39,300
Switch one, but I guess we
1799
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:40,966
also haven't had like a major
1800
00:59:41,666 --> 00:59:43,400
Breath of the Wild level
1801
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,066
release for the Switch 2, right?
1802
00:59:46,833 --> 00:59:48,566
I mean, Donkey Kong bonanza
1803
00:59:48,566 --> 00:59:49,733
is supposed to be really good.
1804
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:51,566
I mean, it is.
1805
00:59:52,233 --> 00:59:57,199
But it's also not like a new Zelda.
1806
00:59:57,966 --> 00:59:59,266
I think people would like flock.
1807
00:59:59,266 --> 01:00:00,666
I think people would flock to it a lot
1808
01:00:00,666 --> 01:00:03,066
faster if they announced a new Zelda.
1809
01:00:03,533 --> 01:00:03,733
Maybe.
1810
01:00:04,066 --> 01:00:05,966
I think people, I don't know, I bet you
1811
01:00:05,966 --> 01:00:06,733
they're a little fatigued.
1812
01:00:06,733 --> 01:00:08,566
There's been a lot of Zelda stuff lately.
1813
01:00:08,933 --> 01:00:11,666
And so, I don't know.
1814
01:00:11,666 --> 01:00:12,866
I'm not a big Zelda fan, though.
1815
01:00:13,966 --> 01:00:14,266
I think.
1816
01:00:14,266 --> 01:00:17,933
Also, have we talked about the Zelda
1817
01:00:17,933 --> 01:00:20,333
movie at all in this podcast?
1818
01:00:20,966 --> 01:00:21,966
Yeah, we talked about
1819
01:00:21,966 --> 01:00:25,233
the casting, I think.
1820
01:00:26,733 --> 01:00:27,933
Wait, I think that was one of the
1821
01:00:27,933 --> 01:00:29,866
episodes where I like had to go MIA.
1822
01:00:30,699 --> 01:00:30,900
Yeah.
1823
01:00:32,033 --> 01:00:34,933
Was Jimmy from, was
1824
01:00:34,933 --> 01:00:36,533
Jimmy part of the episode or?
1825
01:00:37,033 --> 01:00:37,300
No.
1826
01:00:38,366 --> 01:00:38,933
Oh, dang.
1827
01:00:39,133 --> 01:00:39,666
That would have been a good
1828
01:00:39,666 --> 01:00:40,633
topic to talk with him about.
1829
01:00:44,733 --> 01:00:46,099
Here's my thing on Nintendo Switch.
1830
01:00:46,433 --> 01:00:47,466
I think it is too
1831
01:00:47,466 --> 01:00:48,866
similar to Nintendo Switch 1.
1832
01:00:48,966 --> 01:00:51,533
Like the Switch 2 is, it
1833
01:00:51,533 --> 01:00:54,166
feels more like a 1.5 upgrade.
1834
01:00:54,666 --> 01:00:58,066
They just bumped the size up and the
1835
01:00:58,066 --> 01:00:58,833
graphical power, don't get
1836
01:00:58,833 --> 01:01:00,166
me wrong, is much better,
1837
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,900
but is still a little behind on what it
1838
01:01:03,900 --> 01:01:05,533
could have been released two years ago.
1839
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:06,599
Yeah.
1840
01:01:07,866 --> 01:01:08,433
I agree.
1841
01:01:08,666 --> 01:01:09,166
I think it would have been more
1842
01:01:09,166 --> 01:01:09,766
impressive if it was
1843
01:01:09,766 --> 01:01:10,666
released two years ago.
1844
01:01:11,533 --> 01:01:13,500
And it's so incremental that that's how
1845
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:14,766
they should do it, in my opinion.
1846
01:01:15,166 --> 01:01:16,633
Because then and still really
1847
01:01:16,633 --> 01:01:17,666
make sure that they're back.
1848
01:01:17,666 --> 01:01:18,766
Like a lot of games are backwards
1849
01:01:18,766 --> 01:01:20,533
compatible and just, if you're going to
1850
01:01:20,533 --> 01:01:21,466
go incremental route,
1851
01:01:21,466 --> 01:01:22,966
make it so that it's that way and that
1852
01:01:22,966 --> 01:01:24,266
people can just upgrade
1853
01:01:24,266 --> 01:01:26,133
into it as time goes on.
1854
01:01:26,133 --> 01:01:27,433
If you're going to make it so similar.
1855
01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:28,833
Yeah.
1856
01:01:29,033 --> 01:01:29,866
I mean, it's kind of
1857
01:01:29,866 --> 01:01:31,166
the Wii U all over again.
1858
01:01:32,666 --> 01:01:33,266
I think.
1859
01:01:33,433 --> 01:01:33,733
Yeah.
1860
01:01:33,733 --> 01:01:36,366
I don't know about that because people
1861
01:01:36,366 --> 01:01:37,233
thought the Wii U was
1862
01:01:37,233 --> 01:01:38,400
just an accessory for the Wii
1863
01:01:38,466 --> 01:01:39,466
and they didn't buy it
1864
01:01:39,466 --> 01:01:40,433
because they already had one.
1865
01:01:40,433 --> 01:01:43,033
But I mean, like the Wii U when it came
1866
01:01:43,033 --> 01:01:45,266
out was basically a 360.
1867
01:01:46,066 --> 01:01:46,266
Right?
1868
01:01:46,666 --> 01:01:47,099
Like it.
1869
01:01:47,133 --> 01:01:48,466
And we were already on
1870
01:01:48,466 --> 01:01:49,733
the Xbox One at that point.
1871
01:01:50,033 --> 01:01:53,166
Like it was just a generation behind.
1872
01:01:53,166 --> 01:01:54,733
It felt like it was a
1873
01:01:54,733 --> 01:01:56,366
marginal upgrade at best.
1874
01:01:56,833 --> 01:01:59,033
And I don't know.
1875
01:01:59,033 --> 01:02:01,966
I just don't see the Switch 2 being like
1876
01:02:01,966 --> 01:02:04,566
the Switch 1 killer, which
1877
01:02:04,566 --> 01:02:05,866
is what they wanted it to be.
1878
01:02:07,966 --> 01:02:08,166
Yeah.
1879
01:02:08,366 --> 01:02:08,666
That's a...
1880
01:02:09,666 --> 01:02:13,599
I will say the Wii U is more innovative
1881
01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:16,266
than the Switch 2 is.
1882
01:02:17,266 --> 01:02:18,333
I will say that.
1883
01:02:18,833 --> 01:02:22,433
Now that being said, if they're going to
1884
01:02:22,433 --> 01:02:24,733
include like some
1885
01:02:24,733 --> 01:02:26,466
innovation, which they did, like the
1886
01:02:26,966 --> 01:02:29,400
mouse sensors that are in the controllers
1887
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:31,133
are, you know, I think pretty cool.
1888
01:02:31,833 --> 01:02:34,833
They need to do much better with the
1889
01:02:34,833 --> 01:02:36,300
games and promoting those
1890
01:02:36,300 --> 01:02:37,900
new features because that
1891
01:02:38,233 --> 01:02:40,033
is one of the only ones that I can think
1892
01:02:40,033 --> 01:02:44,633
of that's new about the Switch 2 as
1893
01:02:44,633 --> 01:02:45,433
opposed to the Switch 1.
1894
01:02:45,433 --> 01:02:47,066
There's only like one or two things that
1895
01:02:47,066 --> 01:02:48,366
are actually truly like
1896
01:02:48,366 --> 01:02:50,900
innovative and that's it.
1897
01:02:51,033 --> 01:02:51,233
Like the...
1898
01:02:51,966 --> 01:02:53,833
If you go into it, it
1899
01:02:53,833 --> 01:02:56,400
feels just like the Switch 1.
1900
01:02:56,833 --> 01:02:58,333
Like if you're using Switch 1, you're
1901
01:02:58,333 --> 01:03:00,033
going to, I guess, love the
1902
01:03:00,033 --> 01:03:01,400
Switch 2, but I'm used to my
1903
01:03:02,233 --> 01:03:04,533
generational changes of consoles to also
1904
01:03:04,533 --> 01:03:06,166
have UI enhancements
1905
01:03:06,166 --> 01:03:08,066
that are more prominent.
1906
01:03:09,166 --> 01:03:09,966
I get what you're saying.
1907
01:03:09,966 --> 01:03:10,266
Yeah.
1908
01:03:10,266 --> 01:03:12,066
I mean, to be honest, I don't think a lot
1909
01:03:12,066 --> 01:03:12,766
of developers are going
1910
01:03:12,766 --> 01:03:13,666
to make use of the mass
1911
01:03:13,766 --> 01:03:16,366
functionality and the ones that are just
1912
01:03:16,366 --> 01:03:17,633
going to like make it
1913
01:03:17,633 --> 01:03:18,300
so that you can just
1914
01:03:18,733 --> 01:03:19,866
point and click with your
1915
01:03:19,866 --> 01:03:21,733
mouse like in an FPS, right?
1916
01:03:22,033 --> 01:03:22,366
Or RTS.
1917
01:03:23,266 --> 01:03:25,133
Honestly, I'd love to play
1918
01:03:25,133 --> 01:03:26,300
Starcraft on the Switch 2.
1919
01:03:26,699 --> 01:03:27,333
I know that sounds
1920
01:03:27,333 --> 01:03:29,366
weird, but yeah, why not?
1921
01:03:29,366 --> 01:03:31,233
But I don't see many developers wanting
1922
01:03:31,233 --> 01:03:32,266
to make like a dual
1923
01:03:32,266 --> 01:03:34,166
mouse game like in Mario...
1924
01:03:35,833 --> 01:03:37,066
Like in that, like
1925
01:03:37,066 --> 01:03:38,566
what was that game called?
1926
01:03:38,766 --> 01:03:39,633
The one where you're on like a
1927
01:03:39,633 --> 01:03:41,099
wheelchair, you're like a paraplegic.
1928
01:03:42,066 --> 01:03:43,566
Well, you're not paraplegic.
1929
01:03:43,833 --> 01:03:45,566
I think it's just, yeah, I know what
1930
01:03:45,566 --> 01:03:46,300
you're talking about.
1931
01:03:47,233 --> 01:03:48,966
Yeah, the wheelchair basketball game.
1932
01:03:49,366 --> 01:03:49,566
Yeah.
1933
01:03:50,533 --> 01:03:51,300
I don't remember what
1934
01:03:51,300 --> 01:03:52,199
it's called though, but yeah.
1935
01:03:53,766 --> 01:03:55,133
And then you've also got a...
1936
01:03:55,933 --> 01:03:56,333
What was it?
1937
01:03:56,666 --> 01:03:58,766
You've also got dual...
1938
01:03:58,766 --> 01:04:00,433
I don't know if it's dual...
1939
01:04:00,433 --> 01:04:01,033
No, I wouldn't...
1940
01:04:01,466 --> 01:04:03,500
I guess it is dual mouse functionality in
1941
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:04,933
Mario Party, but like
1942
01:04:04,933 --> 01:04:07,133
everyone else has a mouse and like...
1943
01:04:07,133 --> 01:04:08,500
So I don't think it's really dual mouse
1944
01:04:08,500 --> 01:04:10,166
functionality, but it's
1945
01:04:10,166 --> 01:04:11,033
multi-mouse functionality.
1946
01:04:11,533 --> 01:04:13,233
Like you can have up to
1947
01:04:13,233 --> 01:04:14,366
four cursors of the screen.
1948
01:04:15,433 --> 01:04:20,699
Yeah, I think like Wario games and Mario
1949
01:04:20,699 --> 01:04:21,599
parties and stuff like
1950
01:04:21,599 --> 01:04:23,066
that actually benefit greatly
1951
01:04:23,133 --> 01:04:25,366
from this, which cool.
1952
01:04:25,933 --> 01:04:26,633
Should have released one.
1953
01:04:26,633 --> 01:04:27,033
I don't think they're
1954
01:04:27,033 --> 01:04:27,933
that hard to release.
1955
01:04:30,733 --> 01:04:31,266
Should have done it.
1956
01:04:31,833 --> 01:04:32,233
I don't know.
1957
01:04:32,233 --> 01:04:33,166
I would kill for a new
1958
01:04:33,166 --> 01:04:34,633
WarriorWare, to be honest.
1959
01:04:34,633 --> 01:04:35,933
I think WarriorWare could
1960
01:04:35,933 --> 01:04:37,033
have been released with this.
1961
01:04:37,433 --> 01:04:39,733
Yeah, WarriorWare is so much fun.
1962
01:04:40,599 --> 01:04:42,233
Emily and I still play WarriorWare on
1963
01:04:42,233 --> 01:04:44,766
occasion on my Wii over here.
1964
01:04:45,033 --> 01:04:45,233
Yeah.
1965
01:04:45,833 --> 01:04:46,766
The original one or
1966
01:04:46,766 --> 01:04:48,533
like the one on the Wii?
1967
01:04:48,533 --> 01:04:49,633
The Wii, yeah.
1968
01:04:51,366 --> 01:04:53,766
I still have my copy of the original
1969
01:04:53,766 --> 01:04:54,966
WarriorWare on Game Boy Advance.
1970
01:04:55,199 --> 01:04:55,766
Oh, hell yeah.
1971
01:04:56,366 --> 01:04:57,033
And it's like...
1972
01:04:57,766 --> 01:05:00,366
And it's a delightfully
1973
01:05:00,366 --> 01:05:02,166
weird WarriorWare games.
1974
01:05:02,166 --> 01:05:03,066
You should definitely...
1975
01:05:03,366 --> 01:05:04,766
Like for the audience that hasn't played
1976
01:05:04,766 --> 01:05:05,366
them before, you should
1977
01:05:05,366 --> 01:05:05,900
definitely play them up.
1978
01:05:06,633 --> 01:05:08,966
Like I think one of the funniest ones is
1979
01:05:08,966 --> 01:05:10,333
like the Booger minigames.
1980
01:05:10,766 --> 01:05:10,966
Yeah.
1981
01:05:11,066 --> 01:05:12,333
Like you're like having to press A to
1982
01:05:12,333 --> 01:05:14,933
like sniffle your snot back up.
1983
01:05:15,266 --> 01:05:16,500
See, bump your noses.
1984
01:05:17,633 --> 01:05:20,933
Man, they don't make weird games anymore.
1985
01:05:21,933 --> 01:05:22,633
They need to do...
1986
01:05:22,833 --> 01:05:24,099
Yeah, honestly, it's a
1987
01:05:24,099 --> 01:05:25,133
big miss on Nintendo.
1988
01:05:25,133 --> 01:05:26,466
They have a lot of IP now that we're
1989
01:05:26,466 --> 01:05:27,566
really talking about those that they
1990
01:05:27,566 --> 01:05:28,133
could have released.
1991
01:05:28,599 --> 01:05:32,300
An easy win because I think WarriorWare
1992
01:05:32,300 --> 01:05:34,133
doesn't require like
1993
01:05:34,866 --> 01:05:36,300
a Breath of the Wild kind
1994
01:05:36,300 --> 01:05:37,166
of style of development.
1995
01:05:37,666 --> 01:05:39,033
Like you just need to get some really
1996
01:05:39,033 --> 01:05:39,966
creative people together
1997
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:40,833
and they could pump
1998
01:05:40,833 --> 01:05:42,433
something out in a year or two.
1999
01:05:43,099 --> 01:05:44,099
They just make it fun.
2000
01:05:44,099 --> 01:05:44,833
That's all that matters.
2001
01:05:48,066 --> 01:05:49,666
And I think the mouse could have been
2002
01:05:49,666 --> 01:05:50,866
really good at part of
2003
01:05:50,866 --> 01:05:51,800
it, the mouse controller.
2004
01:05:53,233 --> 01:05:54,400
But you know what I'd kill for?
2005
01:05:55,166 --> 01:05:55,766
A new Zelda.
2006
01:05:57,199 --> 01:05:57,466
Really?
2007
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,233
I like Zelda.
2008
01:06:00,733 --> 01:06:01,633
And they take so many...
2009
01:06:01,633 --> 01:06:03,433
What do you mean there's so many Zelda's?
2010
01:06:05,266 --> 01:06:07,400
Dude, we only get like one new Zelda
2011
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,266
every like console generation map.
2012
01:06:09,733 --> 01:06:09,933
No.
2013
01:06:10,699 --> 01:06:12,033
Because Breath of the Wild had...
2014
01:06:12,466 --> 01:06:13,566
There was two related to
2015
01:06:13,566 --> 01:06:14,333
the Breath of the Wild.
2016
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:15,633
Right?
2017
01:06:15,833 --> 01:06:17,400
And then you had what?
2018
01:06:17,666 --> 01:06:17,833
Two...
2019
01:06:17,833 --> 01:06:20,966
I feel like two Zelda games that are not
2020
01:06:20,966 --> 01:06:23,066
Zelda, but like Zelda adjacent?
2021
01:06:23,766 --> 01:06:24,233
I don't know.
2022
01:06:25,266 --> 01:06:26,266
I'm not a Zelda person though.
2023
01:06:26,466 --> 01:06:27,466
I'm gonna complain against it.
2024
01:06:27,466 --> 01:06:29,066
I want more Luigi.
2025
01:06:30,566 --> 01:06:30,866
Okay.
2026
01:06:31,066 --> 01:06:31,366
Fine.
2027
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,266
So now, any final thoughts on this
2028
01:06:37,266 --> 01:06:39,000
Nintendo before we go on to a
2029
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:39,800
different part of the world?
2030
01:06:40,533 --> 01:06:42,366
Let's move on over to...
2031
01:06:44,233 --> 01:06:45,266
Saudi Arabia.
2032
01:06:45,266 --> 01:06:45,966
Saudi Arabia.
2033
01:06:47,633 --> 01:06:49,866
Saudi Arabia is an interesting one
2034
01:06:49,866 --> 01:06:52,433
because Saudi Arabia is of course
2035
01:06:53,766 --> 01:06:55,433
host to a number of different esports
2036
01:06:55,433 --> 01:06:57,500
competitions and just sports in general.
2037
01:06:59,033 --> 01:07:01,666
And there are lots of different concerns.
2038
01:07:01,666 --> 01:07:03,066
So essentially they
2039
01:07:03,066 --> 01:07:05,099
bought Pokemains Company, RTS,
2040
01:07:05,866 --> 01:07:07,166
who was co-owner of Evo
2041
01:07:07,166 --> 01:07:10,066
alongside Sony themselves.
2042
01:07:12,699 --> 01:07:17,866
And while I don't see them moving Evo
2043
01:07:17,866 --> 01:07:19,133
from Vegas to like...
2044
01:07:22,533 --> 01:07:24,133
Wait, it's been acquired by a whole city.
2045
01:07:25,699 --> 01:07:27,199
How do you pronounce that?
2046
01:07:27,199 --> 01:07:27,466
I don't know.
2047
01:07:27,466 --> 01:07:28,066
I'm not gonna lie.
2048
01:07:28,066 --> 01:07:30,466
That's so bizarre to have a city buy
2049
01:07:30,466 --> 01:07:31,800
something like that.
2050
01:07:32,233 --> 01:07:35,366
Oh, when you're Saudi Arabian, man, you
2051
01:07:35,366 --> 01:07:37,633
have a lot more money than people expect.
2052
01:07:38,433 --> 01:07:39,566
A lot, yeah.
2053
01:07:40,466 --> 01:07:40,666
Yeah.
2054
01:07:42,099 --> 01:07:47,933
So there are concerns within the fighting
2055
01:07:47,933 --> 01:07:48,933
game community about
2056
01:07:48,933 --> 01:07:50,400
Saudi Arabia's involvement in
2057
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,900
the FGC given the number of human rights
2058
01:07:53,900 --> 01:07:55,500
violations in that country.
2059
01:07:56,466 --> 01:08:02,066
And just general anti-LGBT sentiment,
2060
01:08:02,066 --> 01:08:03,800
especially given that one of the best
2061
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,266
fighting game players of our time right
2062
01:08:05,266 --> 01:08:07,233
now, Sonic Fox, fits
2063
01:08:07,233 --> 01:08:10,066
squarely in that community as well.
2064
01:08:13,266 --> 01:08:15,633
And he says he will
2065
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:17,233
continue to attend Evo.
2066
01:08:17,433 --> 01:08:19,199
He's an eight-time champion, by the way.
2067
01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:20,333
I think he's got one of the highest
2068
01:08:20,333 --> 01:08:24,533
records for Evo championships.
2069
01:08:25,733 --> 01:08:27,333
And he wants to continue to attend Evo to
2070
01:08:27,333 --> 01:08:28,833
fight for representation of the people,
2071
01:08:29,833 --> 01:08:31,766
which I do find admirable.
2072
01:08:33,100 --> 01:08:34,166
But I think it's...
2073
01:08:34,933 --> 01:08:37,166
But what happens if they move the event
2074
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:38,566
from Vegas to Saudi Arabia?
2075
01:08:38,966 --> 01:08:39,433
Don't go.
2076
01:08:39,899 --> 01:08:43,133
Which honestly, you cannot guarantee your
2077
01:08:43,133 --> 01:08:44,666
safety with some of these countries.
2078
01:08:46,199 --> 01:08:47,733
Yeah, I mean, that's my concern too.
2079
01:08:47,833 --> 01:08:48,266
Yeah.
2080
01:08:49,833 --> 01:08:51,399
Unless you fit a very
2081
01:08:51,399 --> 01:08:53,166
specific profile, it is...
2082
01:08:54,666 --> 01:08:56,933
I want to say a diversification of
2083
01:08:56,933 --> 01:08:58,800
different events, different
2084
01:08:58,800 --> 01:08:59,966
communities, and stuff like that
2085
01:08:59,966 --> 01:09:00,800
in the world is good.
2086
01:09:01,033 --> 01:09:02,166
Like, I think it is.
2087
01:09:02,366 --> 01:09:04,433
We need to get along better and no better
2088
01:09:04,433 --> 01:09:07,933
way than through games and
2089
01:09:07,933 --> 01:09:09,166
entertainment, stuff like that.
2090
01:09:09,699 --> 01:09:15,899
But there's certain human rights that
2091
01:09:15,899 --> 01:09:17,500
need to be upheld anywhere.
2092
01:09:18,333 --> 01:09:18,533
Yeah.
2093
01:09:20,699 --> 01:09:23,266
So it's not just fighting games.
2094
01:09:23,266 --> 01:09:26,533
They've also invested hard in a bunch of
2095
01:09:26,533 --> 01:09:28,033
other esports as well too.
2096
01:09:30,966 --> 01:09:32,733
Yeah, Saudi Arabia and I believe a couple
2097
01:09:32,733 --> 01:09:33,966
other of those countries
2098
01:09:33,966 --> 01:09:35,666
over in that part of the world
2099
01:09:35,666 --> 01:09:38,966
are investing heavily into a lot of
2100
01:09:38,966 --> 01:09:40,866
Western style sports and esports.
2101
01:09:41,866 --> 01:09:43,733
So it's probably going to continue.
2102
01:09:43,766 --> 01:09:46,933
It is interesting to see how it's going
2103
01:09:46,933 --> 01:09:48,333
because I didn't think
2104
01:09:48,333 --> 01:09:49,866
they were that big into games.
2105
01:09:50,899 --> 01:09:54,300
Are there a lot of esports champions that
2106
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:55,366
come out of these countries?
2107
01:09:57,699 --> 01:10:01,466
Well, there was one Tekken player that
2108
01:10:01,466 --> 01:10:04,133
recently emerged and he's
2109
01:10:04,133 --> 01:10:05,666
a very good Tekken player.
2110
01:10:06,733 --> 01:10:08,066
Arslan Ash is from Pakistan.
2111
01:10:09,533 --> 01:10:11,433
But Pakistan is not one of the countries
2112
01:10:11,433 --> 01:10:12,866
that are investing in all this.
2113
01:10:13,533 --> 01:10:15,133
But he is the Middle East, right?
2114
01:10:16,266 --> 01:10:17,766
Yeah, he is in the Middle East.
2115
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:18,733
Yeah, that's true.
2116
01:10:20,033 --> 01:10:21,766
I mean, I think I'm sure there are some
2117
01:10:21,766 --> 01:10:23,666
players from like these countries.
2118
01:10:23,666 --> 01:10:24,933
There's got to be Saudi Arabia.
2119
01:10:25,199 --> 01:10:26,033
What they're doing.
2120
01:10:26,333 --> 01:10:29,433
So a lot of these Middle East or these
2121
01:10:29,433 --> 01:10:31,866
countries over in this part of the world,
2122
01:10:32,300 --> 01:10:34,699
they're investing their money into...
2123
01:10:35,233 --> 01:10:37,666
They think of this as a portfolio, right?
2124
01:10:37,666 --> 01:10:44,533
So they're investing into diverse
2125
01:10:44,533 --> 01:10:48,566
industries for their portfolio.
2126
01:10:48,833 --> 01:10:51,433
Because they know that oil money and some
2127
01:10:51,433 --> 01:10:52,833
other stuff is going to
2128
01:10:52,833 --> 01:10:53,933
be drying up in the future.
2129
01:10:54,533 --> 01:10:55,466
And so it's really...
2130
01:10:55,966 --> 01:11:00,466
It is not bad, but I'm not happy about
2131
01:11:00,466 --> 01:11:03,066
them investing in the gaming community,
2132
01:11:03,199 --> 01:11:06,600
which tends to be very diverse in the
2133
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,433
LGBTQ and other
2134
01:11:09,433 --> 01:11:13,300
communities that they don't think
2135
01:11:15,266 --> 01:11:16,433
potentially should exist.
2136
01:11:16,833 --> 01:11:17,933
That's not good.
2137
01:11:18,366 --> 01:11:18,566
Yeah.
2138
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,133
And the fighting game community is among
2139
01:11:20,133 --> 01:11:23,766
one of the most, if not the most diverse
2140
01:11:23,933 --> 01:11:25,433
gaming communities out there.
2141
01:11:26,133 --> 01:11:27,399
I mean, yeah, we sometimes
2142
01:11:27,399 --> 01:11:29,366
get people like Ralodia God,
2143
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,766
who is probably the most insane.
2144
01:11:34,566 --> 01:11:38,000
Sometimes he's really racist and bigoted.
2145
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,466
Other times he's very eloquent in telling
2146
01:11:41,466 --> 01:11:45,333
someone how to die, so to speak.
2147
01:11:46,199 --> 01:11:46,399
It's...
2148
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,466
Have you seen the full video of him?
2149
01:11:49,433 --> 01:11:52,166
Like the big video where he's like, "You
2150
01:11:52,166 --> 01:11:52,966
should kill yourself
2151
01:11:52,966 --> 01:11:55,266
now and give someone else
2152
01:11:55,266 --> 01:11:56,300
a piece of oxygen."
2153
01:11:57,366 --> 01:12:00,566
It's weirdly eloquent.
2154
01:12:00,566 --> 01:12:02,000
Is it more of a bit or is
2155
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:03,533
that how he truly feels?
2156
01:12:03,533 --> 01:12:04,566
Is he on social media
2157
01:12:04,566 --> 01:12:06,066
saying that or is this his...
2158
01:12:06,966 --> 01:12:09,133
It was live on Twitch when he said that.
2159
01:12:09,933 --> 01:12:10,633
It's insane.
2160
01:12:11,033 --> 01:12:12,466
You need to watch the full
2161
01:12:12,466 --> 01:12:12,833
video of him saying that.
2162
01:12:12,833 --> 01:12:14,933
Because if it's a bit, I'm a little bit
2163
01:12:14,933 --> 01:12:16,566
lenient to that type of stuff.
2164
01:12:17,233 --> 01:12:18,300
But in the Ghost of
2165
01:12:18,300 --> 01:12:19,633
Yota kind of thing where...
2166
01:12:20,966 --> 01:12:22,266
I don't think it's a bit.
2167
01:12:23,066 --> 01:12:23,566
Then, yeah.
2168
01:12:23,666 --> 01:12:24,233
Because he...
2169
01:12:25,266 --> 01:12:28,333
I don't know for certain if it's a bit.
2170
01:12:29,333 --> 01:12:31,966
At some point, the toxicity is probably a
2171
01:12:31,966 --> 01:12:32,800
little bit of a bit,
2172
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,266
but I think he actually
2173
01:12:34,266 --> 01:12:36,966
is that toxic in person.
2174
01:12:37,699 --> 01:12:37,899
Yeah.
2175
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,533
I definitely don't recommend anyone
2176
01:12:40,533 --> 01:12:42,033
because there's a lot of
2177
01:12:42,033 --> 01:12:44,166
online personas that do stuff.
2178
01:12:44,166 --> 01:12:45,933
And then he says it becomes a bit.
2179
01:12:46,566 --> 01:12:48,399
But then, come to find out, that's
2180
01:12:48,399 --> 01:12:49,233
actually how they think
2181
01:12:49,233 --> 01:12:50,100
and they just kind of...
2182
01:12:50,566 --> 01:12:51,033
I don't know.
2183
01:12:51,033 --> 01:12:52,833
I mean, he was banned from
2184
01:12:52,833 --> 01:12:54,033
Evo, though, to be honest.
2185
01:12:54,233 --> 01:12:55,033
Okay, that's fair.
2186
01:12:56,333 --> 01:12:57,433
It's probably not a bit.
2187
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:58,566
That's not a bit.
2188
01:12:59,166 --> 01:12:59,833
I was just wondering.
2189
01:12:59,833 --> 01:13:00,533
I didn't know he got banned.
2190
01:13:00,933 --> 01:13:01,933
I don't know this part
2191
01:13:01,933 --> 01:13:04,533
of the gaming very well.
2192
01:13:04,533 --> 01:13:06,466
So thank you for informing me on that.
2193
01:13:06,833 --> 01:13:07,100
That's...
2194
01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:08,533
Yeah.
2195
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:10,733
But yeah, the fighting in
2196
01:13:10,733 --> 01:13:12,500
community is very diverse.
2197
01:13:13,266 --> 01:13:14,566
And it's got some of the
2198
01:13:14,566 --> 01:13:15,266
most interesting people.
2199
01:13:16,333 --> 01:13:18,066
They've been at it for a very long time
2200
01:13:18,066 --> 01:13:19,899
before most other esports, to be honest.
2201
01:13:19,933 --> 01:13:22,266
Because the people used to travel
2202
01:13:22,266 --> 01:13:23,566
worldwide for this stuff.
2203
01:13:24,100 --> 01:13:25,100
And they still do, actually.
2204
01:13:25,699 --> 01:13:28,000
But even back in the 90s, they traveled
2205
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,000
worldwide for this stuff.
2206
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:31,466
I mean, it's cool.
2207
01:13:32,166 --> 01:13:34,333
I'd love to see this type of stuff get
2208
01:13:34,333 --> 01:13:35,366
promoted out into
2209
01:13:35,366 --> 01:13:36,633
different countries more.
2210
01:13:37,533 --> 01:13:38,300
Hopefully, it will...
2211
01:13:38,866 --> 01:13:41,066
Hopefully, it drives a good change in
2212
01:13:41,066 --> 01:13:41,833
these countries instead
2213
01:13:41,833 --> 01:13:45,100
of consolidating into just
2214
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,633
removing rights to players that want to
2215
01:13:49,633 --> 01:13:52,633
go to these events and that feel like
2216
01:13:52,633 --> 01:13:53,333
they'd be threatened.
2217
01:13:54,633 --> 01:13:54,833
Yeah.
2218
01:13:54,833 --> 01:13:56,933
I mean, a lot of it comes down to the
2219
01:13:56,933 --> 01:13:58,666
concept of sports washing,
2220
01:13:59,933 --> 01:14:01,466
where it's like the countries
2221
01:14:01,466 --> 01:14:04,333
with human rights violation histories of
2222
01:14:04,333 --> 01:14:06,633
it will invest in sports
2223
01:14:06,633 --> 01:14:09,800
for a number of reasons.
2224
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,933
But the biggest is to be able to silence
2225
01:14:12,933 --> 01:14:14,866
athletes who are using the word "the"
2226
01:14:14,866 --> 01:14:17,800
and using their platform to talk about
2227
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:18,966
human rights abuses.
2228
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:19,800
Yeah.
2229
01:14:20,033 --> 01:14:20,300
And then...
2230
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:20,966
Like guitar.
2231
01:14:21,233 --> 01:14:21,433
Yeah.
2232
01:14:21,566 --> 01:14:22,333
Like all those years ago.
2233
01:14:23,033 --> 01:14:28,100
The other thing is just kind of being
2234
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:29,966
like, "Hey, your favorite
2235
01:14:29,966 --> 01:14:31,566
sports event is being hosted
2236
01:14:31,933 --> 01:14:34,066
in Saudi Arabia or wherever."
2237
01:14:35,733 --> 01:14:39,533
And for the audience member, the sports
2238
01:14:39,533 --> 01:14:40,833
fan, that builds a
2239
01:14:40,833 --> 01:14:42,133
positive sentiment with them
2240
01:14:43,133 --> 01:14:44,800
towards the host country.
2241
01:14:45,066 --> 01:14:45,966
So there's a lot of
2242
01:14:45,966 --> 01:14:47,233
different ways that they can do this.
2243
01:14:47,233 --> 01:14:50,066
I mean, didn't Saudi Arabia also invest
2244
01:14:50,066 --> 01:14:53,333
in the PGA tour or something?
2245
01:14:53,333 --> 01:14:55,966
And they were using their poll over the
2246
01:14:55,966 --> 01:15:01,733
PGA at that point to exclude a golfer?
2247
01:15:01,733 --> 01:15:03,500
I don't remember exactly the story, but
2248
01:15:03,500 --> 01:15:04,833
there's something to that effect.
2249
01:15:06,666 --> 01:15:07,566
I don't know.
2250
01:15:07,566 --> 01:15:08,433
But I don't really know.
2251
01:15:08,633 --> 01:15:09,899
I didn't really follow golf.
2252
01:15:09,933 --> 01:15:13,133
Well, that's news to me.
2253
01:15:13,866 --> 01:15:14,333
It sounds...
2254
01:15:16,333 --> 01:15:19,699
So PGA Tour rejects the offer and the
2255
01:15:19,699 --> 01:15:20,800
investments and stuff like that.
2256
01:15:21,233 --> 01:15:21,833
And so they created
2257
01:15:21,833 --> 01:15:24,199
their own rival league.
2258
01:15:24,633 --> 01:15:24,833
Yeah.
2259
01:15:25,466 --> 01:15:28,033
But I think you're onto something though,
2260
01:15:28,033 --> 01:15:29,033
because there are multiple...
2261
01:15:30,033 --> 01:15:30,800
That's why I'm being
2262
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:31,766
very vague in all this.
2263
01:15:32,933 --> 01:15:34,266
There is more than just
2264
01:15:34,266 --> 01:15:36,066
Saudi Arabia that's investing
2265
01:15:36,066 --> 01:15:40,500
in this type of stuff.
2266
01:15:40,866 --> 01:15:41,100
Yeah.
2267
01:15:41,633 --> 01:15:42,199
I don't know.
2268
01:15:42,466 --> 01:15:44,033
We've talked about something similar to
2269
01:15:44,033 --> 01:15:45,166
this on the podcast before,
2270
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:47,466
and I want to make it clear that when I'm
2271
01:15:47,466 --> 01:15:51,433
talking about China or Saudi Arabia,
2272
01:15:51,433 --> 01:15:52,466
I'm talking about the
2273
01:15:52,466 --> 01:15:54,766
government and not the people, right?
2274
01:15:54,899 --> 01:15:58,866
Because I got a DM from a guy from Saudi
2275
01:15:58,866 --> 01:15:59,833
Arabia who was like,
2276
01:15:59,833 --> 01:16:00,666
"I'm very disappointed
2277
01:16:01,033 --> 01:16:01,933
you were espousing
2278
01:16:01,933 --> 01:16:04,933
very regressive ideas."
2279
01:16:04,966 --> 01:16:05,866
And it's like, "Dude, I'm
2280
01:16:05,866 --> 01:16:07,566
not talking about the people.
2281
01:16:07,866 --> 01:16:09,500
I know that there are
2282
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:11,233
many, many good people.
2283
01:16:11,233 --> 01:16:12,899
The majority of the people
2284
01:16:12,899 --> 01:16:13,966
in these countries are good,
2285
01:16:14,333 --> 01:16:17,066
but the governments do
2286
01:16:17,066 --> 01:16:18,266
things that are horrible."
2287
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:19,766
Yeah.
2288
01:16:19,766 --> 01:16:21,133
That's why you have to be careful with
2289
01:16:21,133 --> 01:16:22,800
the sort of discussion,
2290
01:16:23,199 --> 01:16:25,966
especially in regards to these countries,
2291
01:16:25,966 --> 01:16:27,133
because at some point,
2292
01:16:28,233 --> 01:16:29,933
a lot of it can really tip over easily
2293
01:16:29,933 --> 01:16:32,066
into what is effectively xenophobia.
2294
01:16:32,366 --> 01:16:35,933
Yeah. A lot of the discussion on the Chinese
2295
01:16:35,933 --> 01:16:38,266
government doing bad things ends up
2296
01:16:38,266 --> 01:16:39,733
eventually going back
2297
01:16:39,733 --> 01:16:41,500
to like, "Oh, Chinese feel bad, right?"
2298
01:16:41,500 --> 01:16:41,699
Right.
2299
01:16:42,233 --> 01:16:44,166
Obviously, that's not how we feel, but
2300
01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:45,166
I'm sure that's how some
2301
01:16:45,166 --> 01:16:46,866
people out there feel too.
2302
01:16:46,866 --> 01:16:48,000
Just watch a couple
2303
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:48,866
of our other episodes.
2304
01:16:49,333 --> 01:16:50,766
You'll see we bash on probably...
2305
01:16:51,266 --> 01:16:53,166
I bash on America more than anything.
2306
01:16:53,766 --> 01:16:57,933
So as a country, not as the individuals.
2307
01:16:57,933 --> 01:17:00,300
There's a lot of great people here, but
2308
01:17:00,300 --> 01:17:01,033
at the end of the day,
2309
01:17:01,533 --> 01:17:02,866
governments usually
2310
01:17:02,866 --> 01:17:04,533
get formed by the people.
2311
01:17:05,733 --> 01:17:10,366
And there are so many good people in a
2312
01:17:10,366 --> 01:17:11,033
lot of these countries.
2313
01:17:11,266 --> 01:17:14,633
Russia is one where I lived there for a
2314
01:17:14,633 --> 01:17:15,466
while, and there's a
2315
01:17:15,466 --> 01:17:16,633
lot of good people there.
2316
01:17:17,933 --> 01:17:20,433
But unfortunately, you end up with a
2317
01:17:20,433 --> 01:17:21,833
government that can be very...
2318
01:17:26,433 --> 01:17:26,733
Yeah.
2319
01:17:27,199 --> 01:17:27,399
...depressive.
2320
01:17:28,533 --> 01:17:29,733
I get what you're saying.
2321
01:17:29,733 --> 01:17:30,266
So it's unfortunate.
2322
01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:31,766
Yeah.
2323
01:17:33,033 --> 01:17:37,466
There's also discussions about fighting
2324
01:17:37,466 --> 01:17:38,733
game players, whether or not
2325
01:17:38,733 --> 01:17:39,833
they should even take this.
2326
01:17:40,166 --> 01:17:42,866
And I'm of the opinion that I can't blame
2327
01:17:42,866 --> 01:17:45,566
them for wanting to take the money.
2328
01:17:45,566 --> 01:17:46,800
Because fighting game players get paid a
2329
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,033
lot less than your average
2330
01:17:48,033 --> 01:17:49,666
esports professional does.
2331
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:52,733
Because in general, they
2332
01:17:52,733 --> 01:17:54,566
just pay out less, to be honest.
2333
01:17:54,833 --> 01:17:55,033
Yeah.
2334
01:17:56,966 --> 01:17:59,333
And honestly, I'm not going to blame
2335
01:17:59,333 --> 01:18:00,133
anyone that needs...
2336
01:18:00,166 --> 01:18:01,300
Because it's their life.
2337
01:18:01,300 --> 01:18:02,466
At this point, it's their livelihood.
2338
01:18:02,766 --> 01:18:05,366
So if you cut them out of that, then what
2339
01:18:05,366 --> 01:18:06,833
are they going to do?
2340
01:18:07,733 --> 01:18:09,233
Go back to working a daytime job?
2341
01:18:10,733 --> 01:18:12,433
Former Evo champion
2342
01:18:12,433 --> 01:18:14,866
going back to working a job?
2343
01:18:15,066 --> 01:18:16,233
I mean, you eventually have to.
2344
01:18:16,233 --> 01:18:18,466
You age out really fast, don't you?
2345
01:18:18,633 --> 01:18:19,033
Yeah.
2346
01:18:19,033 --> 01:18:20,966
I mean, yeah, but at the same time...
2347
01:18:21,433 --> 01:18:23,000
Well, it looks like a Justin Wong.
2348
01:18:23,733 --> 01:18:25,533
He's been there for a very long time.
2349
01:18:25,766 --> 01:18:26,533
While I don't think he
2350
01:18:26,533 --> 01:18:27,333
actively competes anymore,
2351
01:18:27,366 --> 01:18:30,966
he is effectively a sportscaster now.
2352
01:18:31,433 --> 01:18:32,166
Yeah, true. And a Twitch streamer.
2353
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:36,666
So he's made it big enough to actually be
2354
01:18:36,666 --> 01:18:39,033
able to do things without
2355
01:18:39,033 --> 01:18:39,966
having to actually compete
2356
01:18:39,966 --> 01:18:41,033
in these major tournaments.
2357
01:18:41,333 --> 01:18:43,300
Well, I'm sure he still competes every
2358
01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:44,833
now and then, but not
2359
01:18:44,833 --> 01:18:46,466
nearly as often as he used to.
2360
01:18:49,699 --> 01:18:50,866
I'm not sure any of the fighting game
2361
01:18:50,866 --> 01:18:52,333
players have really aged out to the point
2362
01:18:52,333 --> 01:18:53,466
where they have to retire
2363
01:18:53,466 --> 01:18:54,699
because they can't keep up.
2364
01:18:54,733 --> 01:18:57,066
I think the five gods of Japan, like
2365
01:18:57,066 --> 01:18:58,433
Daigo still plays too.
2366
01:18:59,633 --> 01:18:59,833
Yeah.
2367
01:19:00,566 --> 01:19:03,533
I always think of FPS,
2368
01:19:04,333 --> 01:19:05,366
especially, and that tends to...
2369
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:06,766
FPS and even RTS, I
2370
01:19:06,766 --> 01:19:08,500
believe, tend to age out fast.
2371
01:19:10,333 --> 01:19:12,366
But at the end of the day, it's becoming
2372
01:19:12,366 --> 01:19:13,333
a little bit more like
2373
01:19:13,333 --> 01:19:14,433
regular sports to where
2374
01:19:14,433 --> 01:19:16,533
you age out into a career
2375
01:19:16,533 --> 01:19:17,766
that's hopefully like a...
2376
01:19:19,899 --> 01:19:20,833
Like a Jason To...
2377
01:19:21,233 --> 01:19:22,000
Yeah, like a lot of...
2378
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:22,199
Your sport.
2379
01:19:22,433 --> 01:19:22,866
Exactly.
2380
01:19:23,133 --> 01:19:25,866
Like a lot of these football
2381
01:19:25,866 --> 01:19:27,433
players and other stuff I do.
2382
01:19:27,433 --> 01:19:29,600
But the difference too is football
2383
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:30,866
players and a lot of
2384
01:19:30,866 --> 01:19:32,300
those types of people,
2385
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:34,399
they end up with lots of money to retire
2386
01:19:34,399 --> 01:19:36,733
on if they plan it right.
2387
01:19:37,333 --> 01:19:39,533
Where I don't think
2388
01:19:39,533 --> 01:19:41,933
esports pays nearly as well.
2389
01:19:44,433 --> 01:19:45,866
And honestly, the problem with a lot of
2390
01:19:45,866 --> 01:19:47,300
esports, in my opinion,
2391
01:19:47,300 --> 01:19:49,500
is that they're mostly unwatchable for
2392
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:51,399
anyone outside of the sport.
2393
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:54,266
Like if you were to watch football as
2394
01:19:54,266 --> 01:19:54,866
someone that doesn't know
2395
01:19:54,866 --> 01:19:55,933
anything about football,
2396
01:19:55,933 --> 01:19:57,533
I mean, it might be difficult to
2397
01:19:57,533 --> 01:19:58,333
understand, but you still
2398
01:19:58,333 --> 01:19:59,966
kind of get the idea, right?
2399
01:20:01,633 --> 01:20:03,433
I think it's just a stigmatism issue.
2400
01:20:05,166 --> 01:20:09,199
I think if my dad was to watch League of
2401
01:20:09,199 --> 01:20:10,733
Legends, you know, a tournament,
2402
01:20:11,666 --> 01:20:13,333
I think he'd be like, "This is silly.
2403
01:20:13,333 --> 01:20:14,300
This is a cartoon thing."
2404
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,333
To be fair, if he probably sat there and
2405
01:20:17,333 --> 01:20:17,966
watched the whole game,
2406
01:20:17,966 --> 01:20:18,633
he'd probably get into it.
2407
01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:21,899
I think people that are
2408
01:20:21,899 --> 01:20:23,766
competitive do actually will.
2409
01:20:23,766 --> 01:20:25,233
If they sit down and watch it enough,
2410
01:20:25,233 --> 01:20:26,533
they will probably enjoy it.
2411
01:20:27,699 --> 01:20:29,333
Yeah, by the same time though, they have
2412
01:20:29,333 --> 01:20:30,733
to attract new people.
2413
01:20:31,066 --> 01:20:31,666
And like, Gardiner
2414
01:20:31,666 --> 01:20:33,033
probably wouldn't stigmatize it.
2415
01:20:33,033 --> 01:20:35,500
But if he watched League of Legends, do
2416
01:20:35,500 --> 01:20:37,133
you think he would understand?
2417
01:20:37,533 --> 01:20:39,533
Like, Gardiner, you've never played
2418
01:20:39,533 --> 01:20:40,433
League before, right?
2419
01:20:40,433 --> 01:20:44,100
No. I've played Dota a little bit, so I
2420
01:20:44,100 --> 01:20:46,066
kind of know maybe how
2421
01:20:46,066 --> 01:20:47,166
it works a little bit.
2422
01:20:48,166 --> 01:20:50,066
I think you could catch on pretty quick.
2423
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:51,233
Yeah.
2424
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:52,033
Do you think Emily
2425
01:20:52,033 --> 01:20:52,933
would understand though?
2426
01:20:52,933 --> 01:20:56,166
Because like, the thing with like sports
2427
01:20:56,166 --> 01:20:56,866
is you also have to
2428
01:20:56,866 --> 01:20:57,566
appeal to the people that
2429
01:20:57,566 --> 01:20:59,266
don't play the sport too, right?
2430
01:21:00,133 --> 01:21:03,733
I don't think Emily specifically would be
2431
01:21:03,733 --> 01:21:05,300
interested in anything like that.
2432
01:21:05,666 --> 01:21:08,333
She doesn't like the competition aspect
2433
01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:10,300
of sports, but I think you'd have...
2434
01:21:11,266 --> 01:21:13,966
I think that there is like a...
2435
01:21:17,199 --> 01:21:20,733
You know, you have to have like a kind of
2436
01:21:20,733 --> 01:21:22,066
convergence of like
2437
01:21:22,066 --> 01:21:23,333
interested in competition,
2438
01:21:23,866 --> 01:21:27,833
interested in like video games in order
2439
01:21:27,833 --> 01:21:28,833
to have that overlap
2440
01:21:28,833 --> 01:21:30,066
of like wanting to watch
2441
01:21:30,066 --> 01:21:31,433
competitive games. You
2442
01:21:31,433 --> 01:21:31,866
know what I'm saying?
2443
01:21:32,833 --> 01:21:34,166
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
2444
01:21:35,366 --> 01:21:37,833
I really don't know if there's a huge
2445
01:21:37,833 --> 01:21:39,699
difference between a football
2446
01:21:40,633 --> 01:21:42,066
and a League of Legends match. That
2447
01:21:42,066 --> 01:21:45,300
sounds weird, but you have two sides and
2448
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:45,733
you're trying to get
2449
01:21:45,733 --> 01:21:50,266
to one side to do a goal or you know, the
2450
01:21:50,266 --> 01:21:50,966
difference is like
2451
01:21:50,966 --> 01:21:52,600
one's fighting and you get
2452
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:54,366
to see like different techniques and the
2453
01:21:54,366 --> 01:21:57,966
other one is, I guess in football stands,
2454
01:21:58,266 --> 01:22:00,433
like kind of fighting where you got your
2455
01:22:00,433 --> 01:22:03,133
defense and make sure the
2456
01:22:03,133 --> 01:22:04,233
offense doesn't get through
2457
01:22:04,233 --> 01:22:05,933
and all that. And there's a lot of
2458
01:22:05,933 --> 01:22:07,066
technique and a lot of
2459
01:22:07,066 --> 01:22:08,066
strategy that goes into it.
2460
01:22:08,066 --> 01:22:11,266
Well, the thing though is that in like
2461
01:22:11,266 --> 01:22:12,333
football, there's a lot of
2462
01:22:12,333 --> 01:22:13,766
downtime and the sports casters
2463
01:22:13,766 --> 01:22:15,333
can use those down times to explain
2464
01:22:15,333 --> 01:22:18,199
specific strategies. Whereas like in
2465
01:22:18,199 --> 01:22:19,533
League, there's like
2466
01:22:19,666 --> 01:22:23,133
actually no downtime and there's a lot of
2467
01:22:23,133 --> 01:22:23,966
different builds and
2468
01:22:23,966 --> 01:22:24,666
stuff in League and a
2469
01:22:24,666 --> 01:22:26,500
lot of items that drastically change how
2470
01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:27,433
a character plays and
2471
01:22:27,433 --> 01:22:28,199
like how you're supposed
2472
01:22:28,199 --> 01:22:30,733
to level them up and you may not be able
2473
01:22:30,733 --> 01:22:32,633
to convey some of those concepts to like
2474
01:22:33,233 --> 01:22:34,466
the average person. Whereas like, let's
2475
01:22:34,466 --> 01:22:35,500
look at a fighting game, for example.
2476
01:22:36,399 --> 01:22:38,500
Yeah. Fighting games are really difficult
2477
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:40,000
to actually play and like
2478
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,199
really to be really good
2479
01:22:41,199 --> 01:22:42,833
at, but like you can watch it. You
2480
01:22:42,833 --> 01:22:43,766
immediately know what's going
2481
01:22:43,766 --> 01:22:45,733
on, right? It's just two guys
2482
01:22:45,733 --> 01:22:47,333
fighting each other and like even if you
2483
01:22:47,333 --> 01:22:48,666
don't understand like that
2484
01:22:48,666 --> 01:22:50,166
they did a crazy frame one
2485
01:22:50,166 --> 01:22:51,933
link or whatever, you understand that
2486
01:22:51,933 --> 01:22:54,566
like, oh, he's doing a combo and oh, and
2487
01:22:54,566 --> 01:22:55,266
you may not understand
2488
01:22:55,266 --> 01:22:58,033
like, oh, he's plus on block or you might
2489
01:22:58,033 --> 01:22:59,766
not like he's minus or
2490
01:22:59,766 --> 01:23:01,466
plus on block, but like, oh,
2491
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,233
he did a move and like a slow move and
2492
01:23:05,233 --> 01:23:05,933
like it's going to cost
2493
01:23:05,933 --> 01:23:06,833
him. Like you understand basic
2494
01:23:06,833 --> 01:23:08,566
concepts like that, right? Yeah. It's
2495
01:23:08,566 --> 01:23:09,666
easily translatable like
2496
01:23:09,666 --> 01:23:11,000
the average person. I was just
2497
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:12,766
thinking like if you're going to have a
2498
01:23:12,766 --> 01:23:14,466
game that'll have a bigger
2499
01:23:14,466 --> 01:23:16,566
appeal to other folks, like a
2500
01:23:16,633 --> 01:23:19,133
video game, I think a fighting game is a
2501
01:23:19,133 --> 01:23:21,233
more like versus something
2502
01:23:21,233 --> 01:23:23,133
like Dota or League is going to
2503
01:23:23,133 --> 01:23:27,666
be an easier sell. Just because like it's
2504
01:23:27,666 --> 01:23:29,566
1v1 and there's one screen
2505
01:23:29,566 --> 01:23:30,933
for both players, you know,
2506
01:23:31,399 --> 01:23:34,566
like if you're doing like league, then
2507
01:23:34,566 --> 01:23:35,833
the they're, they're having
2508
01:23:35,833 --> 01:23:36,933
to cut between. I've never
2509
01:23:36,933 --> 01:23:38,600
watched one, so I don't know, but like
2510
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:39,800
they have to cut between all the
2511
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:40,933
different people and all
2512
01:23:40,933 --> 01:23:42,866
this shit. There's a lot going on. I
2513
01:23:42,866 --> 01:23:44,233
think it's, it can be
2514
01:23:44,233 --> 01:23:48,000
very similar to MMA fighting
2515
01:23:48,566 --> 01:23:50,399
football or soccer, even maybe soccer is
2516
01:23:50,399 --> 01:23:52,266
better to League. Soccer doesn't have a
2517
01:23:52,266 --> 01:23:52,866
whole lot of downtime
2518
01:23:52,866 --> 01:23:56,933
either. From my understanding, so. Yeah,
2519
01:23:56,933 --> 01:23:57,699
but building soccer is easy
2520
01:23:57,699 --> 01:23:58,933
because they can just follow the
2521
01:23:58,966 --> 01:24:00,933
ball. They can follow the ball. I agree.
2522
01:24:01,433 --> 01:24:03,366
I agree with this. I'm not
2523
01:24:03,366 --> 01:24:05,333
saying I'm just saying I,
2524
01:24:06,100 --> 01:24:07,466
it's the competitive nature that people
2525
01:24:07,466 --> 01:24:09,699
get into. I'm not trying to
2526
01:24:09,699 --> 01:24:11,366
do a complete one to one, but I
2527
01:24:11,533 --> 01:24:14,633
think. Yeah, I mean, I would get into it.
2528
01:24:15,533 --> 01:24:17,199
Fighting games are how are extremely
2529
01:24:17,199 --> 01:24:18,233
competitive and they're
2530
01:24:18,233 --> 01:24:21,100
fighting for what is effectively scraps.
2531
01:24:21,333 --> 01:24:22,633
If you're interested in fighting games,
2532
01:24:22,633 --> 01:24:23,733
by the way, not just
2533
01:24:23,766 --> 01:24:26,100
you guys, but anyone listening, do
2534
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:27,566
yourself a favor and go to your locals.
2535
01:24:28,066 --> 01:24:29,766
And sometimes if a new
2536
01:24:29,766 --> 01:24:31,266
fighting game comes out, someone's going
2537
01:24:31,266 --> 01:24:32,533
to bring their setup with the new
2538
01:24:32,533 --> 01:24:33,566
fighting game and you can
2539
01:24:33,566 --> 01:24:36,066
play for free. If you bring a controller,
2540
01:24:36,066 --> 01:24:40,466
that is. That's cool. And some of them
2541
01:24:40,466 --> 01:24:41,266
are willing to teach
2542
01:24:41,266 --> 01:24:43,399
you how to play and you'll have a group
2543
01:24:43,399 --> 01:24:45,133
of friends to play and get better with
2544
01:24:45,133 --> 01:24:46,133
too, if you're interested.
2545
01:24:46,166 --> 01:24:53,899
I suck so bad at fighting games nowadays.
2546
01:24:55,166 --> 01:24:57,399
Dude, come on, dude. Of
2547
01:24:57,399 --> 01:24:59,833
course, I also like doing fight
2548
01:24:59,833 --> 01:25:02,833
sticks because they just feel a lot more
2549
01:25:02,833 --> 01:25:05,166
comfortable to play on. So
2550
01:25:05,166 --> 01:25:06,566
maybe I should get a fight stick
2551
01:25:07,666 --> 01:25:10,233
or you could 3D print and like buy the
2552
01:25:10,233 --> 01:25:12,800
buttons and stuff. And you'd have a much
2553
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:13,666
cheaper fight stick.
2554
01:25:14,633 --> 01:25:16,899
How much are they?
2555
01:25:18,233 --> 01:25:21,866
Depends on which ones you want. The one I
2556
01:25:21,866 --> 01:25:24,666
have is the Kamba Obsidian 2.
2557
01:25:28,666 --> 01:25:30,666
And I think that one actually recently
2558
01:25:30,666 --> 01:25:33,133
went down in price, but MSRP,
2559
01:25:33,133 --> 01:25:34,866
I think it came out like $300,
2560
01:25:35,833 --> 01:25:37,233
but you could buy it right now for like
2561
01:25:37,233 --> 01:25:38,866
$180. This is the one I
2562
01:25:38,866 --> 01:25:40,466
have and use right now.
2563
01:25:41,366 --> 01:25:45,566
It's a PlayStation fight stick, but you
2564
01:25:45,566 --> 01:25:46,966
can use it on PC at first.
2565
01:25:46,966 --> 01:25:48,266
It says it right there.
2566
01:25:48,899 --> 01:25:49,166
I mean,
2567
01:25:51,033 --> 01:25:52,666
$180? Yeah, I'd rather
2568
01:25:52,666 --> 01:25:53,699
buy it than print it.
2569
01:25:54,933 --> 01:25:57,233
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it would be more
2570
01:25:57,233 --> 01:25:58,933
economical to do so. But the
2571
01:25:58,933 --> 01:25:59,733
cool thing about fight sticks
2572
01:25:59,733 --> 01:26:01,933
is that they're very modular and they're
2573
01:26:01,933 --> 01:26:03,166
very repairable too. If
2574
01:26:03,166 --> 01:26:03,866
you're someone that really
2575
01:26:03,866 --> 01:26:05,466
likes to repair things, you know, right
2576
01:26:05,466 --> 01:26:06,366
to repair and all that cool
2577
01:26:06,366 --> 01:26:08,266
stuff, you can customize that
2578
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,633
moda. You can even get custom art on it
2579
01:26:10,633 --> 01:26:11,966
too if you're that kind of person.
2580
01:26:12,466 --> 01:26:13,866
Now, customizing, like we're going to get
2581
01:26:13,866 --> 01:26:16,000
to customizing at the end
2582
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,033
with something I posted.
2583
01:26:19,766 --> 01:26:21,033
But yeah, I'm all for
2584
01:26:21,033 --> 01:26:22,566
customizing. I like 3D printing for
2585
01:26:23,199 --> 01:26:26,233
simple and like customizing. But yeah.
2586
01:26:27,366 --> 01:26:30,500
Silksong. So would you say
2587
01:26:30,500 --> 01:26:31,766
Silksong is an easy game?
2588
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,866
No, my wife's cousin right next to me is
2589
01:26:35,866 --> 01:26:37,899
definitely saying that it's not that easy
2590
01:26:37,933 --> 01:26:42,766
of a game. Yeah, so Silksong is not an
2591
01:26:42,766 --> 01:26:45,433
easy game, which is why there has been
2592
01:26:45,433 --> 01:26:46,233
there have been some
2593
01:26:46,333 --> 01:26:50,166
concerns about its high difficulty. And
2594
01:26:50,166 --> 01:26:53,033
of course, the ever so in the
2595
01:26:53,033 --> 01:26:55,566
inevitable get good comments.
2596
01:26:56,966 --> 01:27:04,933
So Silksong is hard, someone say. I've
2597
01:27:04,933 --> 01:27:07,033
seen some clips on. I've
2598
01:27:07,033 --> 01:27:07,833
seen some clips of people
2599
01:27:07,833 --> 01:27:09,500
struggling at specific points. Like
2600
01:27:09,500 --> 01:27:10,600
there's one part. There's
2601
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:12,033
one point in Hunter's March.
2602
01:27:12,333 --> 01:27:14,433
I think it was the area where you have to
2603
01:27:14,433 --> 01:27:15,366
bounce off of like what
2604
01:27:15,366 --> 01:27:16,533
looks like bell peppers.
2605
01:27:16,866 --> 01:27:19,966
They suck so freaking bad. I had to help
2606
01:27:19,966 --> 01:27:22,266
my wife with one and I hated it so much.
2607
01:27:23,300 --> 01:27:25,566
Sorry. I didn't have any issue with that.
2608
01:27:25,566 --> 01:27:28,333
There's. Oh my gosh. The mechanic is so.
2609
01:27:29,733 --> 01:27:30,366
Once again, high tech
2610
01:27:30,366 --> 01:27:31,233
showing his skill level.
2611
01:27:31,300 --> 01:27:35,699
Oh, like I like I might have failed it
2612
01:27:35,699 --> 01:27:36,633
like the first like
2613
01:27:36,633 --> 01:27:38,399
two times, but like I.
2614
01:27:38,866 --> 01:27:40,633
Yeah, I tried that for a while. Like it
2615
01:27:40,633 --> 01:27:42,166
barely took like 20.
2616
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,100
Yeah, like I even got used to it with
2617
01:27:46,100 --> 01:27:47,766
like the weird you get
2618
01:27:47,766 --> 01:27:48,800
you get another crest,
2619
01:27:49,533 --> 01:27:51,666
like close to that area where you like.
2620
01:27:52,166 --> 01:27:53,766
You know, I think you get it
2621
01:27:53,766 --> 01:27:55,300
in that area where you like
2622
01:27:55,933 --> 01:27:58,300
start like doing like. All right. So
2623
01:27:58,300 --> 01:27:59,433
there are crests in the
2624
01:27:59,433 --> 01:28:00,699
game that like change and
2625
01:28:00,733 --> 01:28:02,866
move set substantially, and there's one
2626
01:28:02,866 --> 01:28:04,733
that makes your attacks like more feral.
2627
01:28:05,866 --> 01:28:07,566
And one of them changes your in one of
2628
01:28:07,566 --> 01:28:08,500
them changes your like
2629
01:28:08,500 --> 01:28:09,899
dive attack to where instead
2630
01:28:09,899 --> 01:28:11,766
of it being like a straight diagonal,
2631
01:28:11,766 --> 01:28:13,766
right? And it's instead like a.
2632
01:28:14,933 --> 01:28:17,666
Like an inverse parabolic like sort of
2633
01:28:17,666 --> 01:28:18,466
projected where you move
2634
01:28:18,466 --> 01:28:19,666
slowly first and then you curve
2635
01:28:19,666 --> 01:28:22,166
down and I got used to like doing my dive
2636
01:28:22,166 --> 01:28:23,133
attacks that way too.
2637
01:28:24,500 --> 01:28:25,933
But okay, in addition,
2638
01:28:26,199 --> 01:28:27,766
but in addition to that, there were some
2639
01:28:27,766 --> 01:28:28,866
criticisms were too
2640
01:28:28,866 --> 01:28:30,466
specific bosses in the game.
2641
01:28:30,866 --> 01:28:33,066
More wing, which you fight in gray
2642
01:28:33,066 --> 01:28:35,266
something. I forget the name of the place
2643
01:28:35,266 --> 01:28:37,133
and sister splinter.
2644
01:28:38,333 --> 01:28:39,666
I also think it were you fight or two,
2645
01:28:39,666 --> 01:28:41,333
but I beat both of them
2646
01:28:41,333 --> 01:28:42,833
before they nerfed them.
2647
01:28:43,199 --> 01:28:45,033
They actually nerfed those two bosses in
2648
01:28:45,033 --> 01:28:46,366
particular. I'm not sure
2649
01:28:47,199 --> 01:28:49,166
in what ways they were nerfed, but I beat
2650
01:28:49,166 --> 01:28:50,333
them before the nurse. So
2651
01:28:50,333 --> 01:28:52,233
I heard one of them wasn't
2652
01:28:52,233 --> 01:28:54,966
that hard actually that it didn't really
2653
01:28:54,966 --> 01:28:55,600
necessarily need to
2654
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:57,833
be nerfed, but I don't
2655
01:28:57,833 --> 01:28:59,366
think either of them really did. I think
2656
01:28:59,366 --> 01:29:00,433
people just have a hard
2657
01:29:00,433 --> 01:29:01,966
time dealing with like
2658
01:29:03,233 --> 01:29:04,399
enemies like showing
2659
01:29:04,399 --> 01:29:05,800
up in a boss fight too.
2660
01:29:07,033 --> 01:29:10,433
Because I do hate that shows up. Yeah, I
2661
01:29:10,433 --> 01:29:14,233
do hate this. Yeah, I
2662
01:29:14,233 --> 01:29:15,233
get I get the concern,
2663
01:29:15,233 --> 01:29:17,433
but the same time though, I feel like at
2664
01:29:17,433 --> 01:29:19,033
some points they can help out with
2665
01:29:19,366 --> 01:29:20,666
help you out with staying alive a little
2666
01:29:20,666 --> 01:29:23,033
longer because you can
2667
01:29:23,033 --> 01:29:24,633
build up mana off of a well,
2668
01:29:24,633 --> 01:29:27,066
not mana, I think it's called silk. Yeah,
2669
01:29:27,066 --> 01:29:28,666
you can build up silk.
2670
01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:30,633
It's still in this one. Yes.
2671
01:29:31,233 --> 01:29:33,133
You build up silk in this and you can use
2672
01:29:33,133 --> 01:29:37,133
it to heal. Yeah. So I agree
2673
01:29:37,133 --> 01:29:39,266
with that actually does help.
2674
01:29:41,066 --> 01:29:42,733
I mean, it's a matter of perspective, to
2675
01:29:42,733 --> 01:29:45,000
be honest. They did fix a
2676
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:45,966
bunch of bugs in this patch.
2677
01:29:46,466 --> 01:29:50,833
They nerfed the bosses a little bit. They
2678
01:29:50,833 --> 01:29:53,433
also increased rewards
2679
01:29:53,433 --> 01:29:56,233
for certain things too.
2680
01:29:57,033 --> 01:29:58,533
But in addition to that, though, one of
2681
01:29:58,533 --> 01:29:59,533
the most popular mods in
2682
01:29:59,533 --> 01:30:01,166
Silksong is an easy mode.
2683
01:30:03,266 --> 01:30:06,500
So what this does is this removes this
2684
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:08,233
removes double damage from like regular
2685
01:30:08,333 --> 01:30:11,933
enemies and environments too. I hate
2686
01:30:11,933 --> 01:30:16,866
double damage. Yes. But I
2687
01:30:16,866 --> 01:30:17,833
wouldn't use this. I don't
2688
01:30:17,833 --> 01:30:19,466
like double damage either, to be honest,
2689
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:23,600
but I mean, honestly, man,
2690
01:30:23,966 --> 01:30:24,966
I really think you should
2691
01:30:24,966 --> 01:30:28,633
play the game on modded first. That's my
2692
01:30:28,633 --> 01:30:29,733
personal opinion. Here's my
2693
01:30:29,733 --> 01:30:31,500
opinion on this hall. I think
2694
01:30:31,500 --> 01:30:33,133
accessibility is an important thing in
2695
01:30:33,133 --> 01:30:34,533
games and I honestly would
2696
01:30:34,533 --> 01:30:36,133
love it. It's an indie developer,
2697
01:30:36,166 --> 01:30:39,466
but super successful. I would like to see
2698
01:30:39,466 --> 01:30:41,033
more accessibility
2699
01:30:41,033 --> 01:30:42,666
options put into games like this
2700
01:30:42,666 --> 01:30:44,500
that are really difficult to like some
2701
01:30:44,500 --> 01:30:46,533
people. They struggle with
2702
01:30:46,533 --> 01:30:47,433
a bunch of different like
2703
01:30:47,433 --> 01:30:50,100
physical or other elements that they want
2704
01:30:50,100 --> 01:30:50,833
to enjoy the story because
2705
01:30:50,833 --> 01:30:52,033
the game is actually very
2706
01:30:52,066 --> 01:30:53,633
interesting. The environments are very
2707
01:30:53,633 --> 01:30:55,066
fun. I don't play it for
2708
01:30:55,066 --> 01:30:56,333
the difficulty. I play it for
2709
01:30:56,333 --> 01:30:58,466
a lot of other stuff. The difficulty is
2710
01:30:58,466 --> 01:30:59,066
just kind of like
2711
01:30:59,066 --> 01:31:00,699
makes it rewarding for me.
2712
01:31:01,666 --> 01:31:04,866
I think a lot of games should. I don't
2713
01:31:04,866 --> 01:31:05,600
like the sentiment of get
2714
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,233
good. I like the sentiment of
2715
01:31:07,433 --> 01:31:09,699
let everyone play it and just add a mode
2716
01:31:09,699 --> 01:31:11,000
for it or something. I don't know. Or
2717
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,433
just allow mods like this.
2718
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,133
I wouldn't be opposed to an easy mode,
2719
01:31:17,133 --> 01:31:18,300
but only after like the
2720
01:31:18,300 --> 01:31:19,733
player dies five times
2721
01:31:19,933 --> 01:31:21,533
in a row. Kind of like how Ninja Gaiden,
2722
01:31:22,433 --> 01:31:24,066
let's see, would unlock Ninja Dog mode.
2723
01:31:24,866 --> 01:31:27,466
But to be fair though, a Ninja guy in Dog
2724
01:31:27,466 --> 01:31:29,433
mode, Ninja Dog, they
2725
01:31:29,433 --> 01:31:32,233
relentlessly mock you for being
2726
01:31:32,233 --> 01:31:35,100
an easy mode too. That's a hard one
2727
01:31:35,100 --> 01:31:36,633
because that is funny. Like
2728
01:31:36,633 --> 01:31:39,766
I said, there are, I think it
2729
01:31:39,833 --> 01:31:42,266
doesn't like for the people that like,
2730
01:31:42,266 --> 01:31:44,266
well, I beat it and it's
2731
01:31:44,266 --> 01:31:45,333
hard and all that, like that
2732
01:31:45,333 --> 01:31:46,933
doesn't just diminish what you
2733
01:31:46,933 --> 01:31:48,766
accomplished by allowing some people to
2734
01:31:48,766 --> 01:31:49,433
be able to finish it
2735
01:31:50,166 --> 01:31:56,033
in an easy type of mode. I don't know.
2736
01:31:56,166 --> 01:31:58,300
The thing with easy mode mods is that at
2737
01:31:58,300 --> 01:31:59,833
one point does it not just become,
2738
01:32:00,566 --> 01:32:02,433
it doesn't become a like a game of
2739
01:32:02,433 --> 01:32:03,666
downloading mods to make
2740
01:32:03,666 --> 01:32:04,833
the game easier and easier and
2741
01:32:04,833 --> 01:32:06,199
easier progressively because you've
2742
01:32:06,199 --> 01:32:06,866
already unlocked the
2743
01:32:06,866 --> 01:32:08,166
floodgates at that point, right?
2744
01:32:08,866 --> 01:32:11,866
Sure. So most of the mods here are like
2745
01:32:11,866 --> 01:32:13,766
easy mods that make the game
2746
01:32:13,766 --> 01:32:15,166
objectively easier. Like for
2747
01:32:15,233 --> 01:32:18,433
example, this one right here, this one
2748
01:32:18,433 --> 01:32:20,666
here gives all enemies a
2749
01:32:20,666 --> 01:32:23,699
health bar. Bosses and enemies.
2750
01:32:25,133 --> 01:32:26,866
And you can even change how it looks too.
2751
01:32:27,066 --> 01:32:29,566
Like you can change to like a life bar,
2752
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:31,899
a different style life bar, another life
2753
01:32:31,899 --> 01:32:33,933
bar. You can even change the hearts if
2754
01:32:33,933 --> 01:32:34,866
you really wanted to.
2755
01:32:34,866 --> 01:32:36,166
You can even have like their health
2756
01:32:36,166 --> 01:32:37,233
values right there too if
2757
01:32:37,233 --> 01:32:38,933
you want. Is that really like a
2758
01:32:38,966 --> 01:32:42,266
difficulty thing though? I mean, it's not
2759
01:32:42,266 --> 01:32:43,633
really a difficulty thing.
2760
01:32:43,633 --> 01:32:45,033
It's more of an accessibility
2761
01:32:45,266 --> 01:32:49,699
thing, but like I might actually do that.
2762
01:32:49,699 --> 01:32:51,466
I think there's a very clear, I think
2763
01:32:51,466 --> 01:32:52,233
there's a very clear
2764
01:32:52,233 --> 01:32:55,766
difference between a game where you know,
2765
01:32:56,033 --> 01:32:57,466
you know, precisely how much
2766
01:32:57,466 --> 01:32:59,766
HP and enemy has. Whereas a game
2767
01:33:00,066 --> 01:33:01,933
where you don't, unless you've been
2768
01:33:01,933 --> 01:33:02,666
keeping track like
2769
01:33:02,666 --> 01:33:06,866
manually. Right. Yeah. Yeah. See,
2770
01:33:06,899 --> 01:33:08,733
there's also another one with the compass
2771
01:33:08,733 --> 01:33:11,733
effect. Oh yeah. And in Silksong for
2772
01:33:11,733 --> 01:33:12,666
those who don't know,
2773
01:33:13,533 --> 01:33:15,866
in addition to buying maps and also
2774
01:33:15,866 --> 01:33:16,633
various things that
2775
01:33:16,633 --> 01:33:18,266
upgrade like your mapping skills,
2776
01:33:18,266 --> 01:33:21,033
you also have to buy the compass and you
2777
01:33:21,033 --> 01:33:21,899
have to have it equipped on
2778
01:33:21,899 --> 01:33:23,466
you to, you know, find out
2779
01:33:23,466 --> 01:33:27,100
where you are on the map as well. And
2780
01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:29,100
this keeps, this makes it so
2781
01:33:29,100 --> 01:33:31,166
that that happens. Yeah. But
2782
01:33:31,533 --> 01:33:34,833
it's always on. It's always on. Right.
2783
01:33:35,566 --> 01:33:38,666
Yeah. To be, I always have
2784
01:33:38,666 --> 01:33:40,833
the compass equipped in the
2785
01:33:40,833 --> 01:33:43,366
whole amount of night at least, but yeah.
2786
01:33:43,366 --> 01:33:44,566
So like basically it
2787
01:33:44,566 --> 01:33:46,066
prevents me from using another item
2788
01:33:46,566 --> 01:33:49,533
sometimes. Yeah. And there's another item
2789
01:33:49,533 --> 01:33:51,866
here. Always have magna
2790
01:33:51,866 --> 01:33:53,466
effect, which pulls rosaries
2791
01:33:53,466 --> 01:33:55,666
and shards towards you always, which is
2792
01:33:55,666 --> 01:33:56,699
something you're supposed
2793
01:33:56,699 --> 01:33:58,233
to equip an item for. Yeah.
2794
01:33:58,266 --> 01:34:01,333
Yeah. There's another easy mode mod where
2795
01:34:01,333 --> 01:34:03,266
you just respawn at the start of your,
2796
01:34:03,533 --> 01:34:05,633
at the level you died in instead of at a
2797
01:34:05,633 --> 01:34:11,366
bench, which I can imagine trivializing
2798
01:34:11,366 --> 01:34:12,699
the game quite a bit.
2799
01:34:14,699 --> 01:34:20,166
Yeah. You know, like at a certain point
2800
01:34:20,166 --> 01:34:21,333
you bought the game,
2801
01:34:21,633 --> 01:34:22,300
play it how you want.
2802
01:34:23,033 --> 01:34:25,733
Yeah. I guess that's fair. That's my
2803
01:34:25,733 --> 01:34:29,233
sentiment on it. For example, I love
2804
01:34:29,233 --> 01:34:30,866
Spelunky. I will never
2805
01:34:30,866 --> 01:34:32,466
stop talking about how much I love
2806
01:34:32,466 --> 01:34:35,133
Spelunky, but I also love modding
2807
01:34:35,133 --> 01:34:38,500
Spelunky. Like I even will have
2808
01:34:38,500 --> 01:34:41,033
like, I'll play with a trainer so I can
2809
01:34:41,033 --> 01:34:42,000
like get the items I
2810
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,000
want. Like I, you know, it's,
2811
01:34:44,066 --> 01:34:49,266
it's less fun to play the game when it's
2812
01:34:49,266 --> 01:34:50,866
not like, I can imagine
2813
01:34:50,866 --> 01:34:52,233
more fun ways of playing it.
2814
01:34:52,266 --> 01:34:53,766
So that's how I'm going to do it. Right.
2815
01:34:53,766 --> 01:34:54,633
That's how it comes, what
2816
01:34:54,633 --> 01:34:55,666
it comes right down to to me.
2817
01:34:57,333 --> 01:34:59,933
I think, I think a lot, I think what I'd
2818
01:34:59,933 --> 01:35:00,666
like to see though,
2819
01:35:00,666 --> 01:35:01,666
from like the Hollow Knight
2820
01:35:01,666 --> 01:35:03,166
Soaks on modding community, cause they
2821
01:35:03,166 --> 01:35:05,133
have like, they have the modding
2822
01:35:05,133 --> 01:35:06,000
framework that every,
2823
01:35:07,266 --> 01:35:09,033
every game that you see and he uses now,
2824
01:35:09,033 --> 01:35:09,733
they have a Beppany
2825
01:35:09,733 --> 01:35:11,166
X, which I think every,
2826
01:35:11,533 --> 01:35:14,433
just about everything uses now. I would
2827
01:35:14,433 --> 01:35:15,333
like to see more
2828
01:35:15,333 --> 01:35:17,266
interesting mods outside of just
2829
01:35:17,466 --> 01:35:20,533
making the game easier or harder. Like
2830
01:35:20,533 --> 01:35:23,966
imagine new areas or some
2831
01:35:23,966 --> 01:35:25,666
type of that or new enemies.
2832
01:35:26,399 --> 01:35:27,666
I'd like to see stuff like that. That
2833
01:35:27,666 --> 01:35:28,399
type of stuff will take a
2834
01:35:28,399 --> 01:35:30,033
lot longer. Like these are very
2835
01:35:30,066 --> 01:35:32,066
easy mods to put in. That's why you're
2836
01:35:32,066 --> 01:35:34,433
seeing them upfront. But I agree with
2837
01:35:34,433 --> 01:35:35,633
you. I'd like to like
2838
01:35:35,933 --> 01:35:38,766
add additional mods like that are very
2839
01:35:38,766 --> 01:35:40,966
transformative,
2840
01:35:41,433 --> 01:35:43,033
transformative, I guess, of the, of the
2841
01:35:43,033 --> 01:35:46,899
game experience. Yeah. The experience.
2842
01:35:46,899 --> 01:35:49,366
That's yeah. You'll see
2843
01:35:49,366 --> 01:35:51,133
like easy stuff get added in
2844
01:35:51,133 --> 01:35:52,433
the beginning. Like, Oh my gosh, skip
2845
01:35:52,433 --> 01:35:56,666
intro. The guy drew on like, wow, right
2846
01:35:56,666 --> 01:35:57,966
there. Skip intro that
2847
01:35:58,066 --> 01:36:01,733
thumbnail. Well, I mean that, that's kind
2848
01:36:01,733 --> 01:36:05,266
of, that's kind of ridiculous. That is
2849
01:36:05,266 --> 01:36:06,000
kind of funny though.
2850
01:36:06,500 --> 01:36:10,800
Let's see. You can force PS5 icons.
2851
01:36:13,133 --> 01:36:14,699
There's not that many
2852
01:36:14,699 --> 01:36:15,866
interesting mods. I mean,
2853
01:36:15,866 --> 01:36:17,500
to be fair, yeah. The game only came out
2854
01:36:17,500 --> 01:36:19,666
like two weeks ago at this point.
2855
01:36:22,166 --> 01:36:24,333
No, it came out last week. So yeah, like
2856
01:36:24,333 --> 01:36:25,533
only a week, like a little
2857
01:36:25,533 --> 01:36:26,500
over a week at this point.
2858
01:36:29,199 --> 01:36:31,133
I mean, yeah, I'm hoping we get more
2859
01:36:31,133 --> 01:36:32,366
interesting mods at some point.
2860
01:36:32,966 --> 01:36:35,133
Even like, even like mods that like lets
2861
01:36:35,133 --> 01:36:36,233
you reskin the character.
2862
01:36:36,233 --> 01:36:37,433
That'd be kind of funny to see.
2863
01:36:38,433 --> 01:36:41,666
Yeah. I am of the opinion that you should
2864
01:36:41,666 --> 01:36:43,466
at the very least play
2865
01:36:43,466 --> 01:36:44,966
the game as much as you can.
2866
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,633
Non-modded because you know, that's the
2867
01:36:49,633 --> 01:36:50,633
intended experience, right?
2868
01:36:53,366 --> 01:36:56,866
Like, oh, there's also a, oh yeah. For
2869
01:36:56,866 --> 01:36:57,866
those who don't know, there's also an
2870
01:36:57,866 --> 01:36:58,633
additional hard mode
2871
01:36:58,633 --> 01:37:02,533
you can unlock called Steel Soul, which
2872
01:37:02,533 --> 01:37:04,466
essentially makes it so that if you die,
2873
01:37:04,966 --> 01:37:06,766
your save data gets deleted. You know,
2874
01:37:06,766 --> 01:37:08,533
it's like a, it's like a hardcore mode,
2875
01:37:08,533 --> 01:37:09,500
like an Iron Man mode.
2876
01:37:09,766 --> 01:37:09,966
Damn.
2877
01:37:12,333 --> 01:37:13,566
I'm not going to do that because that
2878
01:37:13,566 --> 01:37:15,466
sounds a little too cray cray for me.
2879
01:37:16,066 --> 01:37:17,566
I stopped the time to do that type of
2880
01:37:17,566 --> 01:37:18,600
stuff. I mean, I respect,
2881
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,366
like, I can see people that this
2882
01:37:20,366 --> 01:37:21,566
is their game and this is the only game
2883
01:37:21,566 --> 01:37:22,533
they're going to play for a
2884
01:37:22,533 --> 01:37:23,899
while. Like, okay, go for it.
2885
01:37:23,933 --> 01:37:27,533
Like I'm not against that type of thing,
2886
01:37:27,533 --> 01:37:28,500
but if you're going to do
2887
01:37:28,500 --> 01:37:29,399
that, might as well add an
2888
01:37:29,399 --> 01:37:34,233
easy one. Get good. Well yeah, they did
2889
01:37:34,233 --> 01:37:35,566
add an easy one. It's called normal mode.
2890
01:37:38,633 --> 01:37:40,933
I'm just kidding. I know, but there's,
2891
01:37:40,933 --> 01:37:42,500
there's people that like
2892
01:37:43,666 --> 01:37:45,233
their reaction times because of like a
2893
01:37:45,233 --> 01:37:46,033
physical issue or
2894
01:37:46,033 --> 01:37:46,933
something like that aren't as high,
2895
01:37:46,966 --> 01:37:49,666
but they still want to enjoy the game. So
2896
01:37:49,666 --> 01:37:52,433
trying to be inclusive on this.
2897
01:37:53,633 --> 01:37:55,133
There are some quality of life things I
2898
01:37:55,133 --> 01:37:56,899
would like to do. Like I would like to
2899
01:37:56,899 --> 01:37:58,033
not be restricted to
2900
01:37:58,033 --> 01:37:59,566
a bench when I want to like change that
2901
01:37:59,566 --> 01:38:03,199
equipment and stuff. Yeah, honestly,
2902
01:38:03,399 --> 01:38:04,066
there's stuff like that
2903
01:38:04,066 --> 01:38:06,766
where it doesn't even feel like it adds
2904
01:38:06,766 --> 01:38:07,899
difficulty per se, because
2905
01:38:07,899 --> 01:38:08,733
I can always get to, it just
2906
01:38:08,966 --> 01:38:11,500
makes things more time consuming and it
2907
01:38:11,500 --> 01:38:12,533
is frustrating. Yeah.
2908
01:38:12,533 --> 01:38:13,833
Cause like, yeah. Cause like
2909
01:38:13,833 --> 01:38:16,633
the pause is like real time, I think like
2910
01:38:16,633 --> 01:38:18,233
you can't actually, yeah.
2911
01:38:18,566 --> 01:38:19,466
Like when you're like in that
2912
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,800
menu, like I wouldn't know because you're
2913
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:22,766
sitting on a bench when you're changing
2914
01:38:22,766 --> 01:38:23,466
equipment and stuff,
2915
01:38:24,266 --> 01:38:25,533
but like, it's real time. They could make
2916
01:38:25,533 --> 01:38:26,699
it like, they could make it
2917
01:38:26,699 --> 01:38:29,333
like dark souls where you can
2918
01:38:29,333 --> 01:38:31,066
change the equipment like in real time.
2919
01:38:31,300 --> 01:38:32,300
But like, if you're like next
2920
01:38:32,300 --> 01:38:33,033
to an enemy while you're trying
2921
01:38:33,033 --> 01:38:34,266
to change equipment, they'll just like
2922
01:38:34,266 --> 01:38:35,633
kill you. Yeah. And that's
2923
01:38:35,633 --> 01:38:37,899
what would happen. Yeah. Yeah.
2924
01:38:38,866 --> 01:38:42,333
So yeah. So I think they could do that
2925
01:38:42,333 --> 01:38:49,266
for sure. Yeah. So song. I
2926
01:38:49,266 --> 01:38:51,066
do like, I do like when games
2927
01:38:51,133 --> 01:38:54,833
challenge players in different ways. I
2928
01:38:54,833 --> 01:38:55,933
know some players may not
2929
01:38:55,933 --> 01:38:57,133
be capable of it, but I think
2930
01:38:57,433 --> 01:39:00,233
at the very least they should try. I'm
2931
01:39:00,233 --> 01:39:01,500
not, I'm not against that. I'm just,
2932
01:39:01,666 --> 01:39:04,833
I don't like the, I think the get good
2933
01:39:04,833 --> 01:39:06,833
is, is funny, but it's
2934
01:39:06,833 --> 01:39:10,100
like also at the same time,
2935
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,233
let people play it how they want. And I
2936
01:39:13,233 --> 01:39:14,133
get it. It's a developer
2937
01:39:14,133 --> 01:39:15,433
decision too. But if people
2938
01:39:15,433 --> 01:39:19,166
want to mod it, just let them mod it. So
2939
01:39:19,166 --> 01:39:21,066
that might take on it. Yeah.
2940
01:39:21,933 --> 01:39:22,866
But this is one of those games
2941
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:29,199
that is, that it wasn't even an early
2942
01:39:29,199 --> 01:39:30,800
access, which is interesting, but
2943
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,333
steam is, is chomping down on early
2944
01:39:34,333 --> 01:39:37,933
access now, right? Not, not just early
2945
01:39:37,933 --> 01:39:39,666
access for early access
2946
01:39:39,666 --> 01:39:43,866
for adult games. Yeah. Yeah. So you can
2947
01:39:43,866 --> 01:39:44,733
see, you can see what kind
2948
01:39:44,733 --> 01:39:46,699
of game this is. So I do find
2949
01:39:46,966 --> 01:39:51,066
it super interesting that valve is going
2950
01:39:51,066 --> 01:39:53,433
at. So I think payment
2951
01:39:53,433 --> 01:39:55,899
process, I'm not sure what the
2952
01:39:55,899 --> 01:39:58,566
difference is between like a game that's
2953
01:39:58,566 --> 01:39:59,833
in early access versus a
2954
01:39:59,833 --> 01:40:01,033
game that's fully released in
2955
01:40:01,033 --> 01:40:03,766
terms of like this situation. But you
2956
01:40:03,766 --> 01:40:05,199
know, this article, this
2957
01:40:05,199 --> 01:40:06,533
article presents a interesting
2958
01:40:06,533 --> 01:40:09,433
theory that payment processes are worried
2959
01:40:09,433 --> 01:40:10,633
that like a game, that's
2960
01:40:10,633 --> 01:40:11,800
an early acts like an adult
2961
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,199
game, that's an early access could add
2962
01:40:13,199 --> 01:40:14,533
stuff. That's more taboo, like last minute,
2963
01:40:14,633 --> 01:40:19,066
they could add like content that they
2964
01:40:19,066 --> 01:40:20,899
don't like, as opposed to
2965
01:40:20,899 --> 01:40:22,166
the content that they approved,
2966
01:40:22,433 --> 01:40:25,666
so to speak. And apparently this was an
2967
01:40:25,666 --> 01:40:27,166
apparently this change was
2968
01:40:27,166 --> 01:40:28,966
not like they didn't make this,
2969
01:40:28,966 --> 01:40:31,066
they didn't make this change known,
2970
01:40:31,533 --> 01:40:34,266
apparently. Valve didn't at
2971
01:40:34,266 --> 01:40:36,366
least. Yeah, I get it. So I
2972
01:40:36,399 --> 01:40:42,233
wonder if this is also about I believe
2973
01:40:42,233 --> 01:40:48,300
adult only games are less
2974
01:40:48,300 --> 01:40:51,600
likely to get finished and
2975
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,600
can be a little bit more crowding in the
2976
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:56,100
whole sphere of like early
2977
01:40:56,100 --> 01:40:57,666
access. So people release it
2978
01:40:57,666 --> 01:40:59,833
then they don't release updates and stuff
2979
01:40:59,833 --> 01:41:00,566
like that. And so maybe
2980
01:41:00,566 --> 01:41:01,899
it's abused a little doesn't
2981
01:41:01,899 --> 01:41:03,466
mean that it's right that they abuse it
2982
01:41:03,466 --> 01:41:04,466
or that they remove it for everyone. But could be that
2983
01:41:04,566 --> 01:41:10,433
too. I don't like the idea that payment
2984
01:41:10,433 --> 01:41:12,033
processors like oh, in the
2985
01:41:12,033 --> 01:41:12,733
future you could add something
2986
01:41:12,733 --> 01:41:15,133
we don't like. I don't like that at all.
2987
01:41:15,466 --> 01:41:17,000
I don't like that. That could be the
2988
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:17,666
reason if that's the
2989
01:41:17,666 --> 01:41:22,500
reason. Screw that. I don't know if
2990
01:41:22,500 --> 01:41:23,600
there's a real meaningful
2991
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,433
difference in statistics between
2992
01:41:25,433 --> 01:41:28,300
abandoned early access games that are
2993
01:41:28,300 --> 01:41:30,033
just normal games and like abandoned
2994
01:41:30,033 --> 01:41:30,966
early access games that
2995
01:41:30,966 --> 01:41:32,466
are like adult games, because we see plenty of that already in like a normal game. And
2996
01:41:32,500 --> 01:41:34,233
we see plenty of that already in like a
2997
01:41:34,233 --> 01:41:35,433
normal in like normal
2998
01:41:35,433 --> 01:41:37,566
games. Plenty of games are like
2999
01:41:38,266 --> 01:41:39,666
plenty of games stay early access
3000
01:41:39,666 --> 01:41:43,866
forever, to be honest. I've looked at
3001
01:41:43,866 --> 01:41:46,266
both and the comments on
3002
01:41:46,266 --> 01:41:47,666
a lot of different games. I like
3003
01:41:47,666 --> 01:41:48,733
scrolling comments for
3004
01:41:48,733 --> 01:41:50,133
like a ton of different games.
3005
01:41:50,833 --> 01:41:53,933
And I will have to say like it is seems
3006
01:41:53,933 --> 01:41:57,033
pretty prevalent in this
3007
01:41:57,033 --> 01:41:58,699
side of the adult side of
3008
01:41:58,733 --> 01:42:01,800
things. So I wouldn't be shocked if
3009
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:03,866
that's partially it. But
3010
01:42:03,866 --> 01:42:05,066
at the end of the day, like,
3011
01:42:05,833 --> 01:42:08,566
I don't know, like, maybe Steam needs to
3012
01:42:08,566 --> 01:42:09,633
be a little less lenient.
3013
01:42:09,933 --> 01:42:10,833
Maybe that's the problem is
3014
01:42:10,833 --> 01:42:13,133
that early access, they're just well,
3015
01:42:13,133 --> 01:42:14,066
it's early access. So we'll
3016
01:42:14,066 --> 01:42:15,399
be a little less lenient when
3017
01:42:15,399 --> 01:42:18,166
they make updates to it. But I don't know
3018
01:42:18,166 --> 01:42:19,033
if that's even the case
3019
01:42:19,033 --> 01:42:21,233
though, like people cyberpunk
3020
01:42:21,233 --> 01:42:24,333
will make major updates to cyberpunk. Do
3021
01:42:24,333 --> 01:42:25,933
they scrutinize every
3022
01:42:25,933 --> 01:42:27,766
update, whether it be early access
3023
01:42:27,866 --> 01:42:30,533
or not? Or is this truly a payment
3024
01:42:30,533 --> 01:42:42,166
processor issue? It's I mean, Valve
3025
01:42:42,166 --> 01:42:44,033
didn't care before. So I
3026
01:42:44,033 --> 01:42:45,333
mean, I think this would have I think
3027
01:42:45,333 --> 01:42:47,000
this has to be related
3028
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:48,100
to the payment processor.
3029
01:42:48,100 --> 01:42:50,100
They tighten stuff up on early access and
3030
01:42:50,100 --> 01:42:52,433
a lot of this not like
3031
01:42:52,433 --> 01:42:55,033
valve doesn't tighten things up,
3032
01:42:55,066 --> 01:42:57,733
depending on like, it doesn't necessarily
3033
01:42:57,733 --> 01:42:58,366
mean it's a payment
3034
01:42:58,366 --> 01:43:00,033
processing thing, like they will
3035
01:43:00,466 --> 01:43:04,000
change the way even early access is done
3036
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:05,199
on some of these other
3037
01:43:05,199 --> 01:43:09,433
things that they have on Steam.
3038
01:43:10,233 --> 01:43:13,800
Just because I think if valve really
3039
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,166
cared that much about changing early
3040
01:43:17,166 --> 01:43:18,133
access, they think they
3041
01:43:18,133 --> 01:43:19,466
would have done it for all games, not
3042
01:43:19,466 --> 01:43:21,633
just adult games. Well, then to be
3043
01:43:21,633 --> 01:43:23,033
honest, valve changed this.
3044
01:43:23,666 --> 01:43:26,033
If this was valve changing it, they're an
3045
01:43:26,033 --> 01:43:27,833
extremely data driven
3046
01:43:27,833 --> 01:43:29,399
company. And they wouldn't
3047
01:43:29,399 --> 01:43:31,333
make an arbitrary change like this if
3048
01:43:31,333 --> 01:43:34,033
they didn't have data to back up why they
3049
01:43:34,033 --> 01:43:34,966
were doing it. Right?
3050
01:43:35,166 --> 01:43:38,300
Like if if adult only games were like,
3051
01:43:38,300 --> 01:43:41,266
you know, 800% more likely
3052
01:43:41,266 --> 01:43:43,433
than a non adult only game
3053
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,133
in early access to never leave early
3054
01:43:46,133 --> 01:43:47,966
access, then they might be
3055
01:43:47,966 --> 01:43:49,233
doing it for that reason.
3056
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,466
Who knows? But but I think but I think
3057
01:43:52,466 --> 01:43:53,233
valve would have
3058
01:43:53,233 --> 01:43:55,333
announced that change and not just
3059
01:43:55,333 --> 01:43:56,833
have it a surprise because apparently
3060
01:43:56,833 --> 01:43:58,566
this was us. This was a
3061
01:43:58,566 --> 01:44:00,266
total surprise. They didn't they
3062
01:44:00,266 --> 01:44:02,433
didn't announce this change at all. Okay.
3063
01:44:03,566 --> 01:44:05,266
So I'm inclined to believe
3064
01:44:05,266 --> 01:44:07,266
and also the timing is very
3065
01:44:07,266 --> 01:44:09,133
suspect because you know valve is still
3066
01:44:09,133 --> 01:44:10,533
dealing with all of this payment
3067
01:44:10,533 --> 01:44:12,966
processor crap. So I
3068
01:44:12,966 --> 01:44:15,633
can't so I can't think that it's totally
3069
01:44:15,633 --> 01:44:17,233
unrelated to it. Even if
3070
01:44:17,233 --> 01:44:18,866
valve may have data suggest that
3071
01:44:18,866 --> 01:44:20,699
maybe adult games get a bad more often.
3072
01:44:21,266 --> 01:44:22,566
Hopefully it's not a trend of them just
3073
01:44:22,566 --> 01:44:23,866
not updating us more.
3074
01:44:24,766 --> 01:44:27,033
sad also suck. Because I know the way I
3075
01:44:27,033 --> 01:44:27,466
see more and more
3076
01:44:27,466 --> 01:44:28,966
companies are not updating us on
3077
01:44:29,199 --> 01:44:31,233
this type of thing. I feel like it's more
3078
01:44:31,233 --> 01:44:33,166
shadow updates and yet to
3079
01:44:33,166 --> 01:44:34,666
find out like YouTube. Great
3080
01:44:34,666 --> 01:44:37,533
example. People are losing revenue and
3081
01:44:37,533 --> 01:44:38,699
views and stuff and it was
3082
01:44:38,699 --> 01:44:41,433
not an update to creators.
3083
01:44:42,333 --> 01:44:44,066
People had to investigate it and it is
3084
01:44:44,066 --> 01:44:47,133
prevalent. Right now I am
3085
01:44:47,133 --> 01:44:48,500
seeing all sorts of creators
3086
01:44:48,733 --> 01:44:51,966
like gardeners a level where it just is
3087
01:44:51,966 --> 01:44:54,466
just screwing them over. So
3088
01:44:54,466 --> 01:44:56,266
I'm hoping it's not a trend.
3089
01:44:58,333 --> 01:45:01,166
Don't get me started on that. It's so
3090
01:45:01,166 --> 01:45:04,766
bad. So I so I am of the
3091
01:45:04,766 --> 01:45:07,100
belief that it is very much
3092
01:45:07,100 --> 01:45:09,133
related to the payment processor issue
3093
01:45:09,133 --> 01:45:11,433
that's been going that's still going on.
3094
01:45:11,666 --> 01:45:17,066
I mean I'm not sure what more to make of
3095
01:45:17,066 --> 01:45:18,466
it besides that. You're
3096
01:45:18,466 --> 01:45:19,266
probably right. I'm just
3097
01:45:19,266 --> 01:45:22,066
trying I'm trying to inflate the topic
3098
01:45:22,066 --> 01:45:23,033
more because it's fun
3099
01:45:23,033 --> 01:45:24,600
but you're probably right.
3100
01:45:25,433 --> 01:45:27,433
Yeah I get it though. I don't it's not
3101
01:45:27,433 --> 01:45:28,733
bad look it's not a bad
3102
01:45:28,733 --> 01:45:30,733
looking game. Yeah I think what
3103
01:45:30,866 --> 01:45:33,466
I think what ballersgate 3 proved was
3104
01:45:33,466 --> 01:45:35,133
that the problem with adult
3105
01:45:35,133 --> 01:45:37,066
games is not the adult contents
3106
01:45:37,633 --> 01:45:39,233
but rather the shitty gameplay that most
3107
01:45:39,233 --> 01:45:44,100
of them have. Yeah yeah 100
3108
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:45,566
percent at the end. Because
3109
01:45:45,566 --> 01:45:47,300
ballersgate 3 won game of the year and
3110
01:45:47,300 --> 01:45:48,433
you can like you can
3111
01:45:48,433 --> 01:45:49,500
fuck up air in that one.
3112
01:45:50,666 --> 01:45:53,100
Damn that is true. We
3113
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:54,666
think of super troopers. Hey.
3114
01:45:55,033 --> 01:45:59,266
There you go.
3115
01:45:59,300 --> 01:46:04,800
Uh I yeah hopefully we hear something
3116
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:06,199
about this is then it's not
3117
01:46:06,199 --> 01:46:09,000
silent and I really hope that
3118
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,333
this isn't like reason for payment
3119
01:46:12,333 --> 01:46:13,500
processes to keep on
3120
01:46:13,500 --> 01:46:18,733
essentially policing where it should be
3121
01:46:18,733 --> 01:46:21,000
done by on more of the government level
3122
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:21,866
not payment processor
3123
01:46:21,866 --> 01:46:23,433
level for this type of stuff.
3124
01:46:23,433 --> 01:46:31,133
That's the final my final say on this. Um
3125
01:46:31,133 --> 01:46:33,966
yeah yeah this this
3126
01:46:33,966 --> 01:46:35,333
whole situation has been
3127
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:39,233
going out of control it's crazy. I don't
3128
01:46:39,233 --> 01:46:42,733
know how I don't know if
3129
01:46:42,733 --> 01:46:44,966
like people are saying oh
3130
01:46:45,533 --> 01:46:47,766
visa will never have my business again
3131
01:46:47,766 --> 01:46:49,366
dude come on dude be
3132
01:46:49,366 --> 01:46:53,033
realistic. Boycotts almost never work.
3133
01:46:53,833 --> 01:46:55,666
Really how you have to do it is you have
3134
01:46:55,666 --> 01:46:58,133
to fight for your
3135
01:46:58,133 --> 01:47:00,233
lawmakers to make changes usually
3136
01:47:01,199 --> 01:47:04,000
unless you have a really big cause.
3137
01:47:05,133 --> 01:47:06,966
Changes don't usually like this like
3138
01:47:06,966 --> 01:47:08,766
people aren't going to be
3139
01:47:08,766 --> 01:47:11,933
able to fight it on the visa mastercard
3140
01:47:11,933 --> 01:47:12,899
level. What we need is we
3141
01:47:12,899 --> 01:47:14,300
need regulation on them. Honestly
3142
01:47:14,866 --> 01:47:17,066
uh we should not be have like visa
3143
01:47:17,066 --> 01:47:17,466
mastercard
3144
01:47:17,466 --> 01:47:18,699
essentially have a monopoly so.
3145
01:47:19,266 --> 01:47:22,633
Mm hmm. Yeah and speaking of fighting for
3146
01:47:22,633 --> 01:47:23,966
change. Let's go back to
3147
01:47:23,966 --> 01:47:25,699
cash. Oh sorry go ahead.
3148
01:47:25,899 --> 01:47:28,633
I do not want to carry cash. I lose cash.
3149
01:47:30,300 --> 01:47:32,066
Uh well well Gardner have you ever been
3150
01:47:32,066 --> 01:47:33,566
Japan would be the place for you.
3151
01:47:33,866 --> 01:47:35,500
Japan's still a cash-based society for
3152
01:47:35,500 --> 01:47:37,366
this part. That's awesome. I love that.
3153
01:47:39,133 --> 01:47:42,966
Yeah so here we go Lenovo Legion Go. So
3154
01:47:42,966 --> 01:47:44,533
uh yeah a creative
3155
01:47:44,533 --> 01:47:45,566
modder has transferred the
3156
01:47:46,566 --> 01:47:50,933
Legion Go. I don't know if this is the I
3157
01:47:50,933 --> 01:47:51,566
don't think this is the
3158
01:47:51,566 --> 01:47:52,533
second one. I think this is
3159
01:47:52,533 --> 01:47:54,500
the first one but I wanted to throw this
3160
01:47:54,500 --> 01:47:55,033
in because I wanted
3161
01:47:55,033 --> 01:47:56,033
something fun at the end
3162
01:47:56,399 --> 01:47:59,699
because we cover a lot of uh heavy topics
3163
01:47:59,699 --> 01:48:00,966
and it's it's a mod. I love
3164
01:48:00,966 --> 01:48:02,600
mods. It's a little chunky
3165
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:05,600
but they essentially uh can slot their
3166
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:08,100
Legion Go into this uh I believe 3D
3167
01:48:08,100 --> 01:48:09,566
printed case and they
3168
01:48:09,633 --> 01:48:13,366
have some batteries in there and it's it
3169
01:48:13,366 --> 01:48:14,933
is uh uh what is it
3170
01:48:14,933 --> 01:48:17,766
190 watt battery pack.
3171
01:48:18,333 --> 01:48:21,133
Um so this thing's gonna last for like as
3172
01:48:21,133 --> 01:48:24,133
long as your phone's gonna last for um
3173
01:48:26,466 --> 01:48:29,666
it's uh it's pretty cool. I think it is
3174
01:48:29,666 --> 01:48:31,666
at least. Dude this looks
3175
01:48:31,666 --> 01:48:32,766
like you could 3D print the
3176
01:48:32,766 --> 01:48:34,166
inclusion. In fact I think it might even
3177
01:48:34,166 --> 01:48:35,466
be 3D printed. That's what
3178
01:48:35,466 --> 01:48:36,633
I was saying. It's it's um
3179
01:48:36,633 --> 01:48:38,566
pretty sure 3D yeah it's 3D printed dock.
3180
01:48:39,133 --> 01:48:41,666
It is um designed to hold
3181
01:48:41,666 --> 01:48:43,433
a keyboard and also to have
3182
01:48:43,433 --> 01:48:45,033
a battery pack that you can put in. You
3183
01:48:45,033 --> 01:48:46,166
can buy batteries like this
3184
01:48:46,166 --> 01:48:48,866
and put them in. So uh I make
3185
01:48:48,866 --> 01:48:51,600
it rechargeable. Wait did he just did he
3186
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:53,233
just weld all these uh
3187
01:48:53,233 --> 01:48:54,666
all these batteries together
3188
01:48:54,733 --> 01:48:56,633
himself and like put a bms down here?
3189
01:48:56,899 --> 01:48:59,366
That's crazy. They do
3190
01:48:59,366 --> 01:49:01,033
themself. Weld them? I don't know
3191
01:49:01,033 --> 01:49:02,466
if you need to even weld them together.
3192
01:49:02,899 --> 01:49:04,333
You can buy batteries that
3193
01:49:04,333 --> 01:49:05,500
are similar to this and you
3194
01:49:05,533 --> 01:49:08,633
can just put it together. Um the other
3195
01:49:08,633 --> 01:49:11,766
part yeah so yeah I'm
3196
01:49:11,766 --> 01:49:13,633
curious if you can get I
3197
01:49:14,466 --> 01:49:16,266
I want to attempt a mod like this. I just
3198
01:49:16,266 --> 01:49:17,666
don't want to burn my house down.
3199
01:49:20,633 --> 01:49:21,433
Just do it outside.
3200
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:28,199
Do it out okay still cause of brush fire
3201
01:49:28,199 --> 01:49:29,899
burn my house down. Um
3202
01:49:29,933 --> 01:49:34,266
um I don't know. Or get the cops on me
3203
01:49:34,266 --> 01:49:37,933
for bombs or something. It's so
3204
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,266
sorry katitty. It's certainly not
3205
01:49:41,266 --> 01:49:42,266
airplane legal that's for
3206
01:49:42,266 --> 01:49:45,600
sure. No this is definitely
3207
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:51,466
yet to drive to play this. Well that
3208
01:49:51,466 --> 01:49:53,266
sucks if you're the only one going to
3209
01:49:53,266 --> 01:49:54,066
somewhere with this.
3210
01:49:54,733 --> 01:49:57,733
It's I'm sure it's more of a passion
3211
01:49:57,733 --> 01:50:00,033
project kind of thing. Oh
3212
01:50:00,033 --> 01:50:02,300
absolutely. More than half
3213
01:50:02,333 --> 01:50:04,333
mods are meant more for just the fun in
3214
01:50:04,333 --> 01:50:07,066
making it. Uh it's not the most I
3215
01:50:07,066 --> 01:50:07,533
wouldn't say it's the
3216
01:50:07,533 --> 01:50:09,600
most practical at this point with the
3217
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:10,966
money and everything spent might as well
3218
01:50:10,966 --> 01:50:12,166
go with a laptop but
3219
01:50:14,266 --> 01:50:17,300
it's still cool. I like it. I mean yeah I
3220
01:50:17,300 --> 01:50:17,966
think one thing I would
3221
01:50:17,966 --> 01:50:20,633
probably change is the keyboard.
3222
01:50:20,666 --> 01:50:24,633
I'm not really big on this keyboard to be
3223
01:50:24,633 --> 01:50:27,066
honest. It's really raised
3224
01:50:27,066 --> 01:50:30,100
really high. I would not uh
3225
01:50:30,733 --> 01:50:32,266
if I was to change it all I'd be doing
3226
01:50:32,266 --> 01:50:34,066
the battery pack in the back and have it
3227
01:50:34,066 --> 01:50:35,766
work with the kicks down that it comes
3228
01:50:35,766 --> 01:50:37,199
with and just carry my
3229
01:50:37,199 --> 01:50:38,033
own keyboard and mouse.
3230
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,500
I like that I like the concept but I my
3231
01:50:41,500 --> 01:50:42,866
hand would cramp really fast
3232
01:50:42,866 --> 01:50:44,166
with that high of a keyboard.
3233
01:50:44,666 --> 01:50:46,233
Yeah you'd be doing like one of these.
3234
01:50:46,833 --> 01:50:47,733
Yeah I don't like that.
3235
01:50:48,633 --> 01:50:54,399
But dude also I am curious how this how
3236
01:50:54,399 --> 01:50:55,833
this thing closes and like
3237
01:50:56,433 --> 01:50:57,766
is it just gonna press all the keys at
3238
01:50:57,766 --> 01:50:58,466
once because like most
3239
01:50:58,466 --> 01:51:01,199
laptops have a way to prevent that.
3240
01:51:01,199 --> 01:51:04,933
Yeah look at it it has little um
3241
01:51:04,933 --> 01:51:05,966
stoppers. Oh I see the
3242
01:51:05,966 --> 01:51:08,500
pegs yeah. All right well
3243
01:51:09,933 --> 01:51:11,733
my other change would be to make it a
3244
01:51:11,733 --> 01:51:13,766
mechanical keyboard too but that's
3245
01:51:13,766 --> 01:51:15,166
probably not gonna fit well.
3246
01:51:15,533 --> 01:51:20,533
You could have short key um or short
3247
01:51:20,533 --> 01:51:22,533
switch mechanical keyboard there's
3248
01:51:22,533 --> 01:51:23,666
there's some out there
3249
01:51:24,399 --> 01:51:29,266
um do it but yeah yeah you throw in like
3250
01:51:29,266 --> 01:51:31,433
I guess rip out a uh razor laptop
3251
01:51:31,433 --> 01:51:32,466
keyboard and throw it in
3252
01:51:32,466 --> 01:51:34,166
there they have short switch
3253
01:51:34,166 --> 01:51:37,166
keys. Dude but razor laptops
3254
01:51:37,766 --> 01:51:42,433
oh all you can just do or or better yet
3255
01:51:42,433 --> 01:51:43,666
better yet you can just do like a frame you can just
3256
01:51:43,866 --> 01:51:45,433
you can just do like a frame you can just
3257
01:51:45,433 --> 01:51:46,366
do this with like a framework
3258
01:51:48,633 --> 01:51:49,933
you could look at framework motherboard
3259
01:51:49,933 --> 01:51:51,166
and just three printer.
3260
01:51:51,166 --> 01:51:52,066
That's what framework needs to
3261
01:51:52,066 --> 01:51:55,833
start doing is docs like portable docs
3262
01:51:55,833 --> 01:51:59,266
that'd be cool for my like
3263
01:51:59,266 --> 01:52:01,066
gaming devices like this. Dude
3264
01:52:01,333 --> 01:52:03,766
framework if they made a doc that would
3265
01:52:03,766 --> 01:52:07,500
be amazing. That would be that would be
3266
01:52:07,500 --> 01:52:08,466
pretty sick. And make
3267
01:52:08,466 --> 01:52:10,633
it so that I can like different types of
3268
01:52:10,633 --> 01:52:11,933
docs that I can do like an
3269
01:52:11,933 --> 01:52:13,433
eGPU. Honestly that's what
3270
01:52:13,433 --> 01:52:15,066
I really want from game companies right
3271
01:52:15,066 --> 01:52:16,733
now is I want a really
3272
01:52:16,733 --> 01:52:19,733
flushed out doc for these USB 4
3273
01:52:21,033 --> 01:52:23,666
devices that I can slap my video card
3274
01:52:23,666 --> 01:52:29,100
into. Have it work without and work with
3275
01:52:29,100 --> 01:52:30,266
so that I can upgrade
3276
01:52:30,566 --> 01:52:34,366
eventually into it. I'd love that. You
3277
01:52:34,366 --> 01:52:36,166
know what I would love? A
3278
01:52:36,166 --> 01:52:38,366
Steam Deck 2. That'd be sick.
3279
01:52:38,699 --> 01:52:42,633
It's not happening until 2028. Hey man I
3280
01:52:42,633 --> 01:52:44,666
can I'll wait then man it'll re I'll
3281
01:52:44,666 --> 01:52:45,800
revitalize my channel.
3282
01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:49,533
I don't know. I can make a Steam Deck
3283
01:52:49,533 --> 01:52:51,566
Masterclass. Something scary is coming
3284
01:52:51,566 --> 01:52:52,666
for me on that one like
3285
01:52:52,733 --> 01:52:54,933
will I be alive by the time the 2028
3286
01:52:54,933 --> 01:52:57,399
comes out? What? I'm
3287
01:52:57,399 --> 01:52:58,533
gonna be in my 40s by then.
3288
01:52:58,733 --> 01:53:03,199
Oh shit. So I don't know
3289
01:53:03,199 --> 01:53:04,566
man it's all downhill then.
3290
01:53:06,399 --> 01:53:07,766
Dude don't worry man.
3291
01:53:07,766 --> 01:53:09,966
I will be 40 in 2028.
3292
01:53:12,233 --> 01:53:15,899
That's crazy. Yeah it's not fun to think
3293
01:53:15,899 --> 01:53:17,766
about but you know let it
3294
01:53:17,766 --> 01:53:19,533
come I guess. Yeah hey man
3295
01:53:19,533 --> 01:53:21,966
the Steam Deck 2. Just just. Steam Deck
3296
01:53:21,966 --> 01:53:23,466
2. Hey as long as you can
3297
01:53:23,466 --> 01:53:24,699
play all the games I want for
3298
01:53:24,733 --> 01:53:26,600
a good long while then I can retire in
3299
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:27,733
peace. I mean I'm not gonna
3300
01:53:27,733 --> 01:53:29,566
be retiring in 40 but you know.
3301
01:53:30,666 --> 01:53:33,066
Yeah you'd have to be super rich to
3302
01:53:33,066 --> 01:53:35,133
retire at 40. Who says
3303
01:53:35,133 --> 01:53:36,833
I'm not? I mean I'm not but.
3304
01:53:38,566 --> 01:53:40,266
Dude if you were super rich you wouldn't
3305
01:53:40,266 --> 01:53:42,533
be working a day job. No I just be doing
3306
01:53:42,533 --> 01:53:43,866
this. I like talking.
3307
01:53:47,366 --> 01:53:49,633
No. Yeah that's what I would be doing.
3308
01:53:49,633 --> 01:53:50,566
I'd just be making
3309
01:53:50,566 --> 01:53:52,066
random bullshit YouTube videos
3310
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,966
and talking on the podcast if I didn't
3311
01:53:55,966 --> 01:53:57,199
need a day job. You'd be
3312
01:53:57,199 --> 01:53:58,366
getting on Twitter too and
3313
01:53:58,399 --> 01:54:00,699
you'd be more online. Might not be good.
3314
01:54:02,166 --> 01:54:03,699
That's true. Just ask
3315
01:54:03,699 --> 01:54:06,199
Notch. Yeah oh gosh.
3316
01:54:08,300 --> 01:54:09,833
He's perfect. You can go on and do more
3317
01:54:09,833 --> 01:54:10,866
stuff even after you
3318
01:54:10,866 --> 01:54:12,699
make stupid comments.
3319
01:54:13,199 --> 01:54:21,133
Dude Notch what that. He probably became
3320
01:54:21,133 --> 01:54:23,233
so rich and so isolated
3321
01:54:23,233 --> 01:54:24,966
after like leaving Minecraft.
3322
01:54:24,966 --> 01:54:26,933
He was very isolated that was a big part
3323
01:54:26,933 --> 01:54:27,699
of the problem. From
3324
01:54:27,699 --> 01:54:28,899
my understanding is that
3325
01:54:28,899 --> 01:54:32,266
for in his case money did not buy friends
3326
01:54:32,266 --> 01:54:34,333
and other stuff he became very isolated.
3327
01:54:35,166 --> 01:54:38,366
Yeah and isolation really does. It's not
3328
01:54:38,366 --> 01:54:40,300
good. So like COVID I would argue this whole all this
3329
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:45,266
madness began with COVID starting during
3330
01:54:45,266 --> 01:54:47,733
the COVID. It exacerbated
3331
01:54:47,733 --> 01:54:49,366
it. It was already happening.
3332
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:51,766
Social media is a big driver of
3333
01:54:51,766 --> 01:54:55,600
loneliness. It was happening
3334
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:56,966
before that. It just became a
3335
01:54:56,966 --> 01:54:58,733
catalyst. I think it showed some people
3336
01:54:58,733 --> 01:55:01,033
that they need to get out
3337
01:55:01,033 --> 01:55:02,466
and touch grass more but other
3338
01:55:02,466 --> 01:55:06,033
people dove even deeper in their
3339
01:55:06,033 --> 01:55:10,300
isolation. No. So it's not good. It's not good. It's not good.
3340
01:55:10,633 --> 01:55:15,233
But hopefully at least listening to the
3341
01:55:15,233 --> 01:55:16,466
podcast helps with some
3342
01:55:16,466 --> 01:55:18,266
people's like you shouldn't
3343
01:55:18,266 --> 01:55:19,666
substitute as an isolation but at least
3344
01:55:19,666 --> 01:55:20,866
you know getting some
3345
01:55:20,866 --> 01:55:22,233
different opinions in your life and
3346
01:55:22,666 --> 01:55:24,033
and getting some good news. Hopefully the
3347
01:55:24,033 --> 01:55:25,533
podcast helps a little bit with everyone.
3348
01:55:26,766 --> 01:55:28,266
Yeah that was some pretty good news.
3349
01:55:28,466 --> 01:55:31,500
Tokyo Game Show. If there's more news
3350
01:55:31,500 --> 01:55:32,500
about that we'll start
3351
01:55:32,500 --> 01:55:33,966
we'll probably talk about next week too
3352
01:55:33,966 --> 01:55:36,600
to be honest. And if you're
3353
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:36,699
out there and you're lonely
3354
01:55:36,733 --> 01:55:40,500
I actually have some very good advice.
3355
01:55:42,233 --> 01:55:45,300
Find your local Contra dance and go to
3356
01:55:45,300 --> 01:55:47,366
it. Or what's a Contra
3357
01:55:47,366 --> 01:55:50,733
dance? Contra dancing is like folk
3358
01:55:50,733 --> 01:55:52,666
dancing. It's like line dancing but with
3359
01:55:52,666 --> 01:55:54,366
more rules. And you can
3360
01:55:54,366 --> 01:55:56,733
go and just watch and learn. You can take
3361
01:55:56,733 --> 01:55:59,966
classes and then and learn
3362
01:55:59,966 --> 01:56:01,533
how to do it. And it's very
3363
01:56:01,533 --> 01:56:03,066
structured. It's very fun. It's super
3364
01:56:03,066 --> 01:56:05,066
social. You'll have a good time.
3365
01:56:07,133 --> 01:56:09,333
I didn't know. So you can do the Contra
3366
01:56:09,333 --> 01:56:10,133
dancing. I never took you
3367
01:56:10,133 --> 01:56:11,600
as a I've never took you for
3368
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:13,566
a dancer gardener. Oh dude are you
3369
01:56:13,566 --> 01:56:14,833
kidding me? I love dancing.
3370
01:56:16,866 --> 01:56:17,566
That's crazy. We're learning
3371
01:56:17,566 --> 01:56:19,966
more and more about gardener every day. A
3372
01:56:19,966 --> 01:56:21,100
very very rich
3373
01:56:21,100 --> 01:56:22,766
individual you are gardener.
3374
01:56:23,833 --> 01:56:26,366
Rich in spirit. Not so much in capital
3375
01:56:26,366 --> 01:56:28,666
but that's all right. I take spirit
3376
01:56:28,666 --> 01:56:30,833
wealth over anything else.
3377
01:56:31,899 --> 01:56:33,766
They can't take it well. They can't take
3378
01:56:33,766 --> 01:56:35,166
it away. They can't take my
3379
01:56:35,166 --> 01:56:36,133
spirit from me. I'll tell you
3380
01:56:36,166 --> 01:56:39,666
that much. That's a good thing. That's a
3381
01:56:39,666 --> 01:56:40,766
good thing. That is a good
3382
01:56:40,766 --> 01:56:44,000
thing. Yes. Now just need
3383
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:48,333
YouTube to fix the other part. Do you
3384
01:56:48,333 --> 01:56:50,233
think it's sorry they could dive into
3385
01:56:50,233 --> 01:56:51,166
this a little bit and
3386
01:56:51,166 --> 01:56:53,199
then we can I guess end the podcast but
3387
01:56:53,199 --> 01:56:54,666
do you think the YouTube
3388
01:56:54,666 --> 01:56:56,333
issues are partially because
3389
01:56:57,433 --> 01:57:00,100
of like tariffs and people not buying as
3390
01:57:00,100 --> 01:57:00,866
much so that like the
3391
01:57:00,866 --> 01:57:02,133
ad revenue is just not
3392
01:57:02,233 --> 01:57:05,233
worth as much. I think it's two problems
3393
01:57:05,233 --> 01:57:06,266
that are hitting at the
3394
01:57:06,266 --> 01:57:07,966
same time. The first is that
3395
01:57:08,066 --> 01:57:10,466
I'm pretty sure that they were like kind
3396
01:57:10,466 --> 01:57:13,333
of hinting at they're
3397
01:57:13,333 --> 01:57:15,133
introducing like an actual like
3398
01:57:15,533 --> 01:57:19,333
AI like moderation system and that has
3399
01:57:19,333 --> 01:57:21,333
had a huge unintended
3400
01:57:21,333 --> 01:57:24,766
knock on but also I think that
3401
01:57:24,966 --> 01:57:26,966
like we're in that weird space leading up
3402
01:57:26,966 --> 01:57:29,066
to Christmas and so like
3403
01:57:29,066 --> 01:57:30,933
a lot of advertisers are
3404
01:57:31,366 --> 01:57:33,666
saving their money for now so that they
3405
01:57:33,666 --> 01:57:35,866
can have like a big Christmas blitz.
3406
01:57:36,699 --> 01:57:42,300
My theory is I still think it's somewhat
3407
01:57:42,300 --> 01:57:43,300
tariffs. People just aren't
3408
01:57:43,300 --> 01:57:44,133
buying as much because they
3409
01:57:44,133 --> 01:57:48,533
can't afford as much but also will cost
3410
01:57:48,533 --> 01:57:49,333
the living. It's just not
3411
01:57:49,333 --> 01:57:51,633
just tariffs but from my
3412
01:57:51,633 --> 01:57:54,500
understanding like shadow banning in a
3413
01:57:54,500 --> 01:57:56,933
form of if you promote like
3414
01:57:56,933 --> 01:57:58,733
let's say you do a lot of adult
3415
01:57:58,966 --> 01:58:01,333
games not like adult only but like mature
3416
01:58:01,333 --> 01:58:03,533
or have anything that's
3417
01:58:03,533 --> 01:58:05,066
like not kid friendly they are
3418
01:58:05,066 --> 01:58:07,866
hitting those ones even harder and so you
3419
01:58:07,866 --> 01:58:09,333
can get flagged to where
3420
01:58:09,333 --> 01:58:12,600
and oh man it's probably gonna
3421
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:13,766
get worse. They probably have been
3422
01:58:13,766 --> 01:58:16,566
secretly doing that AI agegating for a
3423
01:58:16,566 --> 01:58:17,800
long time and people just
3424
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,166
didn't realize and that might be what's
3425
01:58:19,166 --> 01:58:21,366
happening. They might flag your account
3426
01:58:21,366 --> 01:58:23,033
as like oh you watch
3427
01:58:23,033 --> 01:58:26,033
a lot of your cartoons then you're yeah
3428
01:58:26,033 --> 01:58:26,800
you shouldn't be
3429
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:27,966
recommended something else.
3430
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:32,399
Yeah well if you go you can actually like
3431
01:58:32,399 --> 01:58:33,899
go onto your YouTube
3432
01:58:33,899 --> 01:58:37,466
channel and like look at your own
3433
01:58:37,466 --> 01:58:39,966
videos right that you upload and you can
3434
01:58:39,966 --> 01:58:42,966
then go into the your user menu and
3435
01:58:42,966 --> 01:58:44,166
enable restricted mode
3436
01:58:44,566 --> 01:58:46,566
and you'll see a bunch of your videos
3437
01:58:46,566 --> 01:58:47,933
disappear even though you've
3438
01:58:47,933 --> 01:58:49,866
never been like content like
3439
01:58:50,566 --> 01:58:52,933
never been told like this is demonetized
3440
01:58:52,933 --> 01:58:53,766
this is age restricted
3441
01:58:53,766 --> 01:58:56,066
those videos will just disappear
3442
01:58:56,066 --> 01:58:59,366
from your from your own video feed and
3443
01:58:59,366 --> 01:59:00,566
that's also causing it
3444
01:59:00,566 --> 01:59:02,000
because I think that if you have
3445
01:59:02,533 --> 01:59:04,033
enough of your like a high enough
3446
01:59:04,033 --> 01:59:05,733
percentage of your own videos that
3447
01:59:05,733 --> 01:59:06,833
disappear from your channel
3448
01:59:07,766 --> 01:59:10,166
in restricted mode then I think the AI
3449
01:59:10,166 --> 01:59:12,833
moderation stuff is like
3450
01:59:12,833 --> 01:59:13,866
looking at that percentage
3451
01:59:14,333 --> 01:59:16,433
and being like this is dangerous for kids
3452
01:59:16,433 --> 01:59:17,933
then maybe this channel
3453
01:59:17,933 --> 01:59:19,866
is too dangerous for ads
3454
01:59:19,933 --> 01:59:24,300
whatever. It's just it's crazy dude. I
3455
01:59:24,300 --> 01:59:25,566
really hate like the
3456
01:59:25,566 --> 01:59:27,233
generalization I get it like I
3457
01:59:27,366 --> 01:59:29,333
would rather be like for kids wise I'd
3458
01:59:29,333 --> 01:59:31,033
rather be safe honestly if
3459
01:59:31,033 --> 01:59:32,133
you flag them as a kid I don't
3460
01:59:32,133 --> 01:59:33,933
want my kids getting ads that are not
3461
01:59:33,933 --> 01:59:36,533
like yeah maybe if it's
3462
01:59:36,533 --> 01:59:38,033
full-on I don't know because they
3463
01:59:38,866 --> 01:59:41,766
got like I get it using the platform got
3464
01:59:41,766 --> 01:59:42,966
to pay for it somehow to
3465
01:59:42,966 --> 01:59:44,866
an extent but I would almost
3466
01:59:44,866 --> 01:59:48,433
rather pay because I want my kid like my
3467
01:59:48,433 --> 01:59:49,899
kid likes to watch
3468
01:59:49,899 --> 01:59:51,933
documentaries and learning stuff
3469
01:59:52,633 --> 01:59:54,866
I'm 100% for like supporting that type of
3470
01:59:54,866 --> 01:59:56,233
thing I want him to learn more
3471
01:59:56,399 --> 01:59:59,266
I'll pay for that content if you can make
3472
01:59:59,266 --> 02:00:01,266
it easier but yeah well
3473
02:00:01,266 --> 02:00:02,300
I mean that's where like
3474
02:00:03,033 --> 02:00:07,033
um subscription services come in you know
3475
02:00:07,033 --> 02:00:09,133
um yeah I just I don't
3476
02:00:09,133 --> 02:00:10,433
think kids belong on YouTube
3477
02:00:10,733 --> 02:00:14,733
in any way shape or form like sorry it's
3478
02:00:14,733 --> 02:00:16,199
it's so hard once you have a
3479
02:00:16,199 --> 02:00:17,666
kid and their their friends
3480
02:00:17,666 --> 02:00:21,966
are doing it it gets really hard for to
3481
02:00:21,966 --> 02:00:22,866
make the decisions on
3482
02:00:22,866 --> 02:00:24,166
how much and everything we
3483
02:00:25,033 --> 02:00:26,933
really try to limit but I've been testing
3484
02:00:26,933 --> 02:00:28,300
out doing the uh
3485
02:00:28,300 --> 02:00:30,699
heavily restricted YouTube
3486
02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:34,633
um the thing for uh my oldest kid just to
3487
02:00:34,633 --> 02:00:36,333
see and for the most part
3488
02:00:36,333 --> 02:00:39,366
like I he's not allowed to
3489
02:00:39,366 --> 02:00:42,100
watch shorts and he can watch like
3490
02:00:42,100 --> 02:00:43,433
learning and some stuff
3491
02:00:43,433 --> 02:00:45,166
but we'll see how that goes
3492
02:00:46,066 --> 02:00:49,600
yeah dude you know what's like crazy
3493
02:00:49,600 --> 02:00:51,166
here's some numbers that'll blow your
3494
02:00:51,166 --> 02:00:55,033
mind my my peer tube
3495
02:00:55,066 --> 02:01:01,266
tends to get like 130 views per video
3496
02:01:01,266 --> 02:01:05,033
currently right okay my most
3497
02:01:05,033 --> 02:01:06,666
recent video where I interviewed
3498
02:01:06,666 --> 02:01:09,399
Al Khazar from the guy who made Kezeta
3499
02:01:09,399 --> 02:01:12,666
has the average number
3500
02:01:12,666 --> 02:01:15,199
of views on my peer tube
3501
02:01:15,833 --> 02:01:18,699
my peer tube usually gets maybe like a
3502
02:01:18,699 --> 02:01:19,833
tenth of a percent of the
3503
02:01:19,833 --> 02:01:20,933
views that the YouTube version
3504
02:01:21,033 --> 02:01:26,533
does but this time it has uh like 10
3505
02:01:26,533 --> 02:01:28,566
percent of the YouTube version
3506
02:01:30,399 --> 02:01:33,133
like and but it's still only getting the
3507
02:01:33,133 --> 02:01:34,533
average number of views
3508
02:01:34,533 --> 02:01:37,933
right so the the YouTube version
3509
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:41,633
of this video has like a 1900 views and
3510
02:01:41,633 --> 02:01:43,566
this one has 139 so it's
3511
02:01:43,566 --> 02:01:44,800
like close to 10 percent
3512
02:01:45,233 --> 02:01:46,966
right is that 10 percent or that one
3513
02:01:46,966 --> 02:01:49,699
percent I can't do math I don't know
3514
02:01:49,699 --> 02:01:52,399
anyway um so is that
3515
02:01:52,399 --> 02:01:54,966
I'm trying to understand is that like you
3516
02:01:54,966 --> 02:01:56,699
usually get more views or
3517
02:01:56,699 --> 02:01:59,133
less on my on my YouTube video
3518
02:01:59,666 --> 02:02:01,899
I would I would normally have expected
3519
02:02:01,899 --> 02:02:05,733
that video on YouTube to get like 10 000
3520
02:02:05,733 --> 02:02:07,466
views and it has 1900
3521
02:02:08,333 --> 02:02:10,533
oh 1900 for some reason I was thinking 19
3522
02:02:10,533 --> 02:02:11,733
000 I'm sorry yeah that's
3523
02:02:11,733 --> 02:02:13,500
oh yeah sorry yeah that's 10
3524
02:02:13,833 --> 02:02:17,466
yeah yeah so so a hundred so but my peer
3525
02:02:17,466 --> 02:02:19,000
tube videos are always
3526
02:02:19,000 --> 02:02:20,366
getting like consistently
3527
02:02:20,733 --> 02:02:24,399
yeah around 130 ish views sometimes more
3528
02:02:24,399 --> 02:02:26,166
depending on if I'm talking
3529
02:02:26,166 --> 02:02:27,433
about peer tube because people
3530
02:02:27,433 --> 02:02:29,766
seem to watch peer tube videos about peer
3531
02:02:29,766 --> 02:02:31,633
tube more often it's weird
3532
02:02:31,633 --> 02:02:34,033
but uh but other but like
3533
02:02:34,166 --> 02:02:37,100
the thing is like this is all clearly a
3534
02:02:37,100 --> 02:02:38,166
problem with YouTube's
3535
02:02:38,166 --> 02:02:40,633
algorithm right like everything
3536
02:02:41,266 --> 02:02:42,866
like the recommendations and everything
3537
02:02:42,866 --> 02:02:44,633
like you're not seeing
3538
02:02:44,633 --> 02:02:46,066
content that you're actually
3539
02:02:46,566 --> 02:02:49,166
uh like subscribed to you're seeing
3540
02:02:49,166 --> 02:02:50,933
content that YouTube thinks you want to
3541
02:02:50,933 --> 02:02:52,600
see and now it's like
3542
02:02:52,733 --> 02:02:56,933
YouTube is actively like removing content
3543
02:02:56,933 --> 02:02:57,833
that it knows you want
3544
02:02:57,833 --> 02:02:59,899
to see from your feed too
3545
02:03:00,166 --> 02:03:03,666
it is 100 percent I'm a feed kind of uh
3546
02:03:03,666 --> 02:03:05,899
fiend because I do use
3547
02:03:05,899 --> 02:03:06,766
the feed a lot on YouTube
3548
02:03:07,133 --> 02:03:08,833
and it has not given me recommendations
3549
02:03:08,833 --> 02:03:10,166
for stuff that I normally
3550
02:03:10,166 --> 02:03:12,333
like like it's leaving out
3551
02:03:12,566 --> 02:03:14,233
channels I'm like I like this type of
3552
02:03:14,233 --> 02:03:15,833
stuff give it like recommend it to me
3553
02:03:15,833 --> 02:03:17,000
it's not and I'm watching
3554
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:19,899
it less actually yeah same gardener are
3555
02:03:19,899 --> 02:03:20,733
you sure you don't want to
3556
02:03:20,733 --> 02:03:22,933
watch mr beast I am I think
3557
02:03:22,933 --> 02:03:25,566
YouTube just wants I think YouTube just
3558
02:03:25,566 --> 02:03:30,066
wants what's best for you yeah but but
3559
02:03:30,066 --> 02:03:31,266
really though I mean
3560
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:35,133
I also introduced a new feature called
3561
02:03:35,133 --> 02:03:38,000
hype yes where you're gonna
3562
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:39,366
sexually hype it and people
3563
02:03:39,366 --> 02:03:41,066
are claiming that's gonna help them the
3564
02:03:41,066 --> 02:03:42,233
algorithm but that's just
3565
02:03:42,233 --> 02:03:43,399
gonna get game like everything
3566
02:03:43,399 --> 02:03:45,766
else in the system let's be honest yeah
3567
02:03:45,766 --> 02:03:48,800
it's like there's no way it's not gonna
3568
02:03:48,800 --> 02:03:49,766
get game by those at
3569
02:03:49,766 --> 02:03:52,266
the top anyways I also think some people
3570
02:03:52,266 --> 02:03:53,300
are getting still getting
3571
02:03:53,300 --> 02:03:53,433
some decent views and their
3572
02:03:53,466 --> 02:03:57,566
revenue is down quite a bit yeah and so
3573
02:03:57,566 --> 02:04:01,133
my revenue this month
3574
02:04:01,133 --> 02:04:02,933
compared to last month is
3575
02:04:02,933 --> 02:04:06,266
essentially the same but it's down year
3576
02:04:06,266 --> 02:04:08,366
over year and it's down
3577
02:04:08,366 --> 02:04:11,300
like from I mean quarter over
3578
02:04:11,300 --> 02:04:14,399
quarter it's down you know like uh so
3579
02:04:14,399 --> 02:04:16,633
it's just YouTube it feels
3580
02:04:16,633 --> 02:04:17,333
like a losing game at this point
3581
02:04:18,333 --> 02:04:21,600
and I hate that I built my company on the
3582
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:22,366
back of my channel
3583
02:04:22,366 --> 02:04:25,333
you know I will say this
3584
02:04:26,566 --> 02:04:28,199
it's really hard and there's a lot of
3585
02:04:28,199 --> 02:04:29,166
different ways to diversify
3586
02:04:29,166 --> 02:04:31,066
but it's it is hard I don't
3587
02:04:31,133 --> 02:04:35,066
think people should put like bet their
3588
02:04:35,066 --> 02:04:36,100
livelihood on a single
3589
02:04:36,100 --> 02:04:37,566
company I think it's dangerous
3590
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:40,233
especially nowadays yeah there's a lot of
3591
02:04:40,233 --> 02:04:41,133
these companies have shown
3592
02:04:41,133 --> 02:04:43,033
that they can make little
3593
02:04:43,066 --> 02:04:46,433
tweaks that can ruin your livelihood um
3594
02:04:46,433 --> 02:04:49,966
Gardner at least you have
3595
02:04:49,966 --> 02:04:51,533
other avenues right now but it
3596
02:04:51,533 --> 02:04:54,666
still sucks right and so yeah well I mean
3597
02:04:54,666 --> 02:04:55,966
and truthfully my
3598
02:04:55,966 --> 02:04:58,233
YouTube channel at one point it
3599
02:04:58,233 --> 02:05:00,333
was like making up about a third of all
3600
02:05:00,333 --> 02:05:02,399
of my income right and
3601
02:05:02,399 --> 02:05:03,800
now it's making up like
3602
02:05:04,566 --> 02:05:09,933
less than a quarter um but you know I can
3603
02:05:09,933 --> 02:05:11,266
like pivot and like do
3604
02:05:11,266 --> 02:05:12,633
more of the production stuff
3605
02:05:12,666 --> 02:05:14,866
that I that you know I do for my company
3606
02:05:14,866 --> 02:05:17,633
but the problem is I love
3607
02:05:17,633 --> 02:05:20,233
talking about Linux and Steam
3608
02:05:20,233 --> 02:05:22,033
Deck and free and open source software
3609
02:05:22,033 --> 02:05:25,433
right and that has been a
3610
02:05:25,433 --> 02:05:27,166
huge part of my life for the last
3611
02:05:27,166 --> 02:05:30,466
10 years or 11 years I just had my 11th
3612
02:05:30,466 --> 02:05:31,566
year anniversary on
3613
02:05:31,566 --> 02:05:34,366
YouTube and it's like crazy and
3614
02:05:34,366 --> 02:05:37,266
it's like dude it literally feels like my
3615
02:05:37,266 --> 02:05:38,433
channel is falling apart
3616
02:05:38,433 --> 02:05:40,633
it's like like like I'm standing
3617
02:05:40,733 --> 02:05:43,300
on a precipice and the and the edge of
3618
02:05:43,300 --> 02:05:44,433
the fucking cliff is
3619
02:05:44,433 --> 02:05:46,300
disappearing beneath my feet
3620
02:05:46,333 --> 02:05:48,433
like that's what it feels like and it
3621
02:05:48,433 --> 02:05:49,633
feels deliberate like it
3622
02:05:49,633 --> 02:05:50,800
feels like YouTube is actually
3623
02:05:50,800 --> 02:05:54,933
trying to subvert the work that I'm doing
3624
02:05:54,933 --> 02:05:57,133
and it sucks you know I
3625
02:05:57,133 --> 02:05:59,066
think I wonder if they're trying
3626
02:05:59,066 --> 02:06:01,233
to compete with like TikTok and some of
3627
02:06:01,233 --> 02:06:01,833
the other ones I'm just
3628
02:06:01,833 --> 02:06:03,033
really trying to push into
3629
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:06,466
uh like SlopTube stuff too yeah that's
3630
02:06:06,466 --> 02:06:06,833
what I said yeah
3631
02:06:06,833 --> 02:06:08,466
short-form content I've also
3632
02:06:08,500 --> 02:06:12,333
I don't know I no no I was being
3633
02:06:12,333 --> 02:06:16,433
facetious right like by pivoting to like
3634
02:06:16,433 --> 02:06:18,300
SlopTube and Shorts and
3635
02:06:18,300 --> 02:06:22,433
shit they are actively harming long-form
3636
02:06:22,433 --> 02:06:24,500
creators the people that built the
3637
02:06:24,500 --> 02:06:25,633
platform to begin with
3638
02:06:26,066 --> 02:06:30,500
and it's it's horrible yeah I agree too
3639
02:06:30,500 --> 02:06:31,966
so also one other thing I
3640
02:06:31,966 --> 02:06:33,033
should mention I've also noticed
3641
02:06:33,033 --> 02:06:36,066
this with like chef youtubing like a lot
3642
02:06:36,066 --> 02:06:37,266
of the big prominent ones
3643
02:06:37,266 --> 02:06:38,666
kind of moved away from making
3644
02:06:38,666 --> 02:06:42,266
recipes and like recreating uh like foods
3645
02:06:42,266 --> 02:06:44,066
from like shows or like
3646
02:06:44,066 --> 02:06:46,133
making better versions like
3647
02:06:46,133 --> 02:06:47,733
fast food stuff and they're just
3648
02:06:47,733 --> 02:06:49,866
resorting to just making tier lists and
3649
02:06:49,866 --> 02:06:52,066
like they I mean I think you
3650
02:06:52,066 --> 02:06:54,766
know which ones I'm talking about right I
3651
02:06:54,766 --> 02:06:55,666
don't really watch a lot of
3652
02:06:55,666 --> 02:06:57,066
that but I've seen I've seen
3653
02:06:57,133 --> 02:06:59,933
like more recommendations for like you
3654
02:06:59,933 --> 02:07:01,133
know that kind of content
3655
02:07:01,133 --> 02:07:03,133
recently which I don't yeah and I
3656
02:07:03,133 --> 02:07:06,000
think and like I don't know and like some
3657
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:07,000
part of it I'm sure is
3658
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:08,300
because you know it makes some more
3659
02:07:08,300 --> 02:07:10,500
money for sure but another part of it I
3660
02:07:10,500 --> 02:07:14,833
certainly believe is that like well like
3661
02:07:16,933 --> 02:07:18,566
YouTube like pushes that kind of stuff
3662
02:07:18,566 --> 02:07:19,633
because like making a rest
3663
02:07:19,633 --> 02:07:21,333
like cooking and making a recipe
3664
02:07:21,333 --> 02:07:22,833
and like all that stuff I'm sure that
3665
02:07:22,833 --> 02:07:24,666
takes a lot of time like
3666
02:07:24,666 --> 02:07:26,300
dedication to do it does
3667
02:07:26,866 --> 02:07:29,766
going whereas like going to like every
3668
02:07:29,766 --> 02:07:31,133
fast food restaurant and comparing their
3669
02:07:31,133 --> 02:07:31,800
like chicken nuggets
3670
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:33,366
or whatever like I'm sure it takes a lot
3671
02:07:33,366 --> 02:07:34,733
less time everyone's doing
3672
02:07:34,733 --> 02:07:35,466
that though that's a very
3673
02:07:35,466 --> 02:07:37,433
trendy topic for the past two years is
3674
02:07:37,433 --> 02:07:38,733
that uh tier lists for
3675
02:07:38,733 --> 02:07:39,866
like going to fast food places
3676
02:07:39,866 --> 02:07:42,300
and all that I'll be I'll be honest guys
3677
02:07:42,300 --> 02:07:45,066
like the I watch those things I'm a
3678
02:07:45,066 --> 02:07:46,033
sucker for tier lists
3679
02:07:46,333 --> 02:07:48,899
but it has to be the right tier list and
3680
02:07:48,899 --> 02:07:50,633
if it's all you do then yeah
3681
02:07:50,633 --> 02:07:51,566
it gets very tiresome but I
3682
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:53,766
do like a tier list every once in a while
3683
02:07:53,766 --> 02:07:56,266
yeah well it just kind of
3684
02:07:56,266 --> 02:07:57,433
it just kind of sucks that
3685
02:07:57,833 --> 02:08:00,033
something that they like built them they
3686
02:08:00,033 --> 02:08:01,133
don't even do the things they built
3687
02:08:01,133 --> 02:08:01,899
themselves on anymore
3688
02:08:01,933 --> 02:08:04,433
like I'm sure gardener Brian could easily
3689
02:08:04,433 --> 02:08:05,566
like transition to
3690
02:08:05,566 --> 02:08:07,633
like making slop tier list
3691
02:08:07,666 --> 02:08:11,466
videos but he but I'm sure hey his fan
3692
02:08:11,466 --> 02:08:13,133
base would be very betrayed
3693
02:08:13,133 --> 02:08:14,866
at that and too he'd probably
3694
02:08:14,866 --> 02:08:17,133
betray himself well too right yeah so
3695
02:08:17,133 --> 02:08:20,566
dude that's the thing like I could like
3696
02:08:20,566 --> 02:08:22,566
very easily sell out
3697
02:08:22,566 --> 02:08:25,433
and start like stop doing the kind of
3698
02:08:25,433 --> 02:08:26,733
content that I love to do
3699
02:08:26,733 --> 02:08:27,866
and start doing the content
3700
02:08:27,866 --> 02:08:30,466
that brings in new viewers because that's
3701
02:08:30,466 --> 02:08:32,233
what the entire YouTube
3702
02:08:32,233 --> 02:08:33,433
algorithm is set up for
3703
02:08:33,766 --> 02:08:36,699
it's set up for easy cheap content that
3704
02:08:36,699 --> 02:08:39,566
brings in uh new viewers
3705
02:08:39,566 --> 02:08:41,266
not recurring viewers YouTube
3706
02:08:41,366 --> 02:08:43,333
doesn't care about recurring viewership
3707
02:08:43,333 --> 02:08:44,733
on a specific channel
3708
02:08:44,733 --> 02:08:47,533
the algorithm favors growth
3709
02:08:48,233 --> 02:08:51,366
okay and so the fact that my channel like
3710
02:08:51,366 --> 02:08:53,800
if you look at so you
3711
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:55,366
probably like saw people saying
3712
02:08:55,366 --> 02:08:57,433
like did you know like like only 30
3713
02:08:57,433 --> 02:08:58,133
percent of you guys are
3714
02:08:58,133 --> 02:08:59,300
subscribed to the channel you've seen
3715
02:08:59,300 --> 02:09:03,666
that before right yes so that's because
3716
02:09:03,666 --> 02:09:05,199
they're all prioritizing
3717
02:09:05,199 --> 02:09:06,233
growth if you look at my
3718
02:09:06,233 --> 02:09:10,433
uh viewership it's like 60 percent of my
3719
02:09:10,433 --> 02:09:11,833
viewers are subscribed to
3720
02:09:11,833 --> 02:09:14,199
my channel because I don't
3721
02:09:14,199 --> 02:09:16,600
produce content for the algorithm I
3722
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:18,566
produce it for the people who want to
3723
02:09:18,566 --> 02:09:20,100
talk about my content
3724
02:09:20,100 --> 02:09:22,266
or who who like the stuff that I talk
3725
02:09:22,266 --> 02:09:23,399
about in my content I should
3726
02:09:23,399 --> 02:09:24,966
say so it's like that's really
3727
02:09:24,966 --> 02:09:29,066
good okay and yeah and it's because it's
3728
02:09:29,066 --> 02:09:31,066
I don't care about growth I
3729
02:09:31,066 --> 02:09:32,633
don't I just want to make my
3730
02:09:32,733 --> 02:09:36,500
content right but it's I don't know what
3731
02:09:36,500 --> 02:09:37,366
I don't remember what I was
3732
02:09:37,366 --> 02:09:38,500
brought that up for but like
3733
02:09:38,866 --> 02:09:41,866
the fact is YouTube's algorithm is just
3734
02:09:41,866 --> 02:09:44,366
is antithetical to your
3735
02:09:44,366 --> 02:09:47,133
attention span to your
3736
02:09:47,366 --> 02:09:49,366
desires of the kind of content you
3737
02:09:49,366 --> 02:09:53,033
actually want to watch and uh and and
3738
02:09:53,033 --> 02:09:55,266
it's also antithetical to
3739
02:09:55,366 --> 02:09:58,233
us now as creators and it's it just needs
3740
02:09:58,233 --> 02:09:59,066
to something needs to
3741
02:09:59,066 --> 02:10:01,366
change we need a union man
3742
02:10:01,466 --> 02:10:04,933
that's what we need a creator union a
3743
02:10:04,933 --> 02:10:06,366
creator union that would be
3744
02:10:06,366 --> 02:10:07,899
interesting I agree with that
3745
02:10:07,899 --> 02:10:09,566
actually I think there needs to be some
3746
02:10:09,566 --> 02:10:12,566
power back into the creators but I
3747
02:10:12,566 --> 02:10:15,100
there's well I don't know
3748
02:10:15,100 --> 02:10:17,466
if that even could be done because of the
3749
02:10:17,466 --> 02:10:19,166
of the way revenue and
3750
02:10:19,166 --> 02:10:22,866
everything happens I think I still
3751
02:10:22,866 --> 02:10:25,233
it's the hardest way to do it it's either
3752
02:10:25,233 --> 02:10:26,000
you're going to have to
3753
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:27,266
create a platform that competes
3754
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:31,866
in a more um and just
3755
02:10:31,866 --> 02:10:33,333
like a different way
3756
02:10:35,533 --> 02:10:39,533
or yeah uh you're going to have to
3757
02:10:39,533 --> 02:10:41,333
regulate it a regulation
3758
02:10:41,333 --> 02:10:43,166
kind of thing which is yeah
3759
02:10:43,166 --> 02:10:46,000
you know I'm looking at my uh statistics
3760
02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:49,233
right now and uh let me see how many
3761
02:10:49,233 --> 02:10:50,000
percent yeah because
3762
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:51,766
I'm curious because I know Gardner just
3763
02:10:51,766 --> 02:10:54,166
mentioned that uh damn I
3764
02:10:54,166 --> 02:10:55,333
wish I had loyal followers
3765
02:10:58,033 --> 02:10:59,333
I mean it might be different for me now
3766
02:10:59,333 --> 02:11:00,733
let me look I don't it's
3767
02:11:00,733 --> 02:11:01,833
been a minute since I looked at
3768
02:11:01,833 --> 02:11:04,600
that specific number but yeah 10 percent
3769
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:07,933
is it say yeah mine says 10
3770
02:11:07,933 --> 02:11:09,833
percent of my viewers actually
3771
02:11:09,833 --> 02:11:15,266
watch my videos those are the subscribers
3772
02:11:15,266 --> 02:11:18,466
yeah um I'm just saying
3773
02:11:18,466 --> 02:11:19,666
man Steamback 2 is going to
3774
02:11:19,666 --> 02:11:21,933
revitalize my channel I can I can start
3775
02:11:21,933 --> 02:11:24,699
making the Steamback 2 masterclass series
3776
02:11:28,100 --> 02:11:31,100
oh man if I if I relied on YouTube for
3777
02:11:31,100 --> 02:11:33,066
like my uh like all my
3778
02:11:33,066 --> 02:11:35,066
revenue I would be fucking like
3779
02:11:35,533 --> 02:11:39,266
homeless no this shit yeah
3780
02:11:40,633 --> 02:11:43,000
our uh off the console it's uh new
3781
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:44,199
viewers of 71 percent
3782
02:11:44,199 --> 02:11:46,233
casual users 19 and then regular
3783
02:11:46,233 --> 02:11:50,899
users 9 percent oh well my mine right now
3784
02:11:50,899 --> 02:11:52,800
is my subscriber numbers is
3785
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:55,433
33 versus not subscribed 67
3786
02:11:55,933 --> 02:11:58,166
so that's that seems to have flipped but
3787
02:11:58,166 --> 02:12:00,366
also like I'm pretty sure
3788
02:12:00,366 --> 02:12:01,933
like even a couple just like
3789
02:12:01,933 --> 02:12:04,100
two or three months ago it was like 60
3790
02:12:04,100 --> 02:12:06,066
were subscribed so I
3791
02:12:06,066 --> 02:12:07,366
think that might have be might
3792
02:12:07,366 --> 02:12:10,666
be something that they changed um like
3793
02:12:10,666 --> 02:12:13,899
recently well hey off the
3794
02:12:13,899 --> 02:12:15,333
console is doing quite well on
3795
02:12:15,333 --> 02:12:17,833

02:12:17,833 --> 02:12:19,500
