00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,229
Welcome to Off the Console, the
hottest podcast where we talk about

2
00:00:03,230 --> 00:00:05,930
tech, gaming and much, much more.

3
00:00:06,729 --> 00:00:09,680
I'm your host, High Tech Low
Life, and I'm with my co-hosts,

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,240
Gardiner Bryant and Gamesrevealed.

5
00:00:11,660 --> 00:00:11,979
How are you

6
00:00:12,015 --> 00:00:12,565
Welcome, welcome

7
00:00:12,695 --> 00:00:12,875
well.

8
00:00:12,885 --> 00:00:13,315
How are you?

9
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,210
Doing good

10
00:00:14,399 --> 00:00:15,478
I'm doing all right.

11
00:00:15,745 --> 00:00:17,115
Recovering from sickness,
but you know, good

12
00:00:18,129 --> 00:00:20,309
Yeah, I'm, I'm recovering
from sickness too.

13
00:00:20,329 --> 00:00:25,199
Um, as you can hear, my voice is a little
different because I am at a beach house.

14
00:00:25,229 --> 00:00:29,899
Uh, don't think I showed you
guys, uh, this, but I got a nice

15
00:00:29,899 --> 00:00:34,489
little shot outside of where I'm
staying, and it's pretty cool.

16
00:00:35,589 --> 00:00:36,249
Nice

17
00:00:36,289 --> 00:00:37,419
the beach just yet.

18
00:00:38,419 --> 00:00:39,699
Yeah, I'm, I'm… I don't know.

19
00:00:39,989 --> 00:00:42,819
The beaches I'm used to on the West
Coast do not look like this, in

20
00:00:42,819 --> 00:00:45,669
the sense even in the places you
stay, like right before the beach.

21
00:00:46,999 --> 00:00:48,289
So East Coast is different.

22
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:49,459
I don't know.

23
00:00:49,484 --> 00:00:51,559
You had a bunch of trees
and yeah, like this.

24
00:00:51,979 --> 00:00:53,529
Like, you can see the ocean off the side.

25
00:00:53,529 --> 00:00:54,639
Like, it just doesn't look like this

26
00:00:55,552 --> 00:01:00,632
I'm, well, I'm at the, I'm at Outer
Banks though, so in North Carolina.

27
00:01:00,632 --> 00:01:02,512
It's pr- it's a pretty nice little area.

28
00:01:03,142 --> 00:01:04,602
It's a pain in the ass to get to though.

29
00:01:04,672 --> 00:01:08,512
You have to like, from where I'm driving,
you have to go down and then you have to

30
00:01:08,512 --> 00:01:13,322
loop back around up unless you wanna pay
like up the ass for taxes, for, uh, tolls.

31
00:01:13,562 --> 00:01:17,102
I might do it next time, going
out next time, but not today.

32
00:01:18,922 --> 00:01:21,502
Anyways, uh, so, so what have
you guys been doing this week?

33
00:01:21,502 --> 00:01:23,132
Let's start with you, Gardner

34
00:01:24,698 --> 00:01:29,588
Uh, this week has been, uh, a
ton of like infrastructure and

35
00:01:29,588 --> 00:01:31,728
other work for me, client stuff.

36
00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:38,488
Um, but the two big things is I just
migrated, uh, the Ghost site, uh,

37
00:01:38,548 --> 00:01:43,468
gardnerbryant.com over from using like
local block storage for like media

38
00:01:43,468 --> 00:01:46,838
distribution to, uh, object storage.

39
00:01:47,308 --> 00:01:52,448
So now when you go to the site, it
should load images a ton faster,

40
00:01:52,468 --> 00:01:54,898
like sup- a whole bunch faster.

41
00:01:54,938 --> 00:02:00,058
And then it should also, mean
we have cheaper storage when we

42
00:02:00,058 --> 00:02:03,748
go to upload media, like images
and video files to the site.

43
00:02:04,488 --> 00:02:05,748
it's, it's pretty exciting.

44
00:02:06,478 --> 00:02:08,148
then I also am working… Sorry, what?

45
00:02:08,548 --> 00:02:11,778
you should a- you should explain what
the difference is be- for the audience

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,170
Oh, so block storage is like if
you have your computer and you, you

47
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:21,570
know, have files just on your drive,
that's block storage, and it works

48
00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:24,770
the same way in the cloud if you
have, like, a virtual private server.

49
00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:29,340
You- We- It used to be that we were
uploading files, and then the server

50
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:33,890
would just write those files to the,
the local storage on the device.

51
00:02:34,690 --> 00:02:37,490
and then when you go to the page,
whatever article or whatever, it

52
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:40,600
would just… The, the web server
would just serve those files.

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,910
Um, but that gets expensive really
quickly because, you know, there's only,

54
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:50,060
like… I believe there was 30 gigabytes
on the sto- on the storage device, and,

55
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:55,870
uh, our site was using, like, 24 or
something gigabytes of that, and the

56
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:57,510
rest of it was being used by other stuff.

57
00:02:57,770 --> 00:03:02,040
So we ran out of actual, like,
storage space on our server.

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,660
and that meant we couldn't
upload more images.

59
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:12,240
So instead, uh, object storage is a
cheaper, way of, like, storing files,

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,850
and it's stored off of the server.

61
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:20,560
So when you- when we upload an image
to the editor, it sends it off to

62
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:25,960
object storage, and then the object
storage tells, uh, it just says, "Hey,

63
00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:28,840
this is where the file lives now." and

64
00:03:28,904 --> 00:03:29,194
Oh, so

65
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:29,870
you go to…

66
00:03:30,214 --> 00:03:30,554
Mm-hmm

67
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:30,760
go.

68
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:31,340
What were

69
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:32,534
So like a CDN almost?

70
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:34,660
it's exactly like a CDN, yeah.

71
00:03:34,690 --> 00:03:38,240
Um, I mean, different CDNs work
differently, but, like, the most

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,870
common one is object storage.

73
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:42,220
And, um, so yeah.

74
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:45,360
So when you go to the site now,
instead of downloading the images from

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,530
garnerbryant.com, you're getting it from
cdn.garnerbryant.com, and it's saving

76
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:54,190
bandwidth, and time, and resources,
and storage space, and it's very cool.

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,330
I'm very excited about it.

78
00:03:56,896 --> 00:03:57,316
Sick.

79
00:03:57,396 --> 00:03:57,896
Sick.

80
00:03:58,446 --> 00:03:59,406
What about you, James?

81
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:00,576
What have you been doing this week?

82
00:04:01,576 --> 00:04:06,896
I have been pl- uh, I got sick
and so I still pushed off.

83
00:04:06,926 --> 00:04:08,596
I still haven't done my
Steam Machine review.

84
00:04:08,776 --> 00:04:09,656
Um, it's gonna be a while.

85
00:04:09,656 --> 00:04:12,206
I didn't do my Steam Deck review
probably for six months, so,

86
00:04:12,656 --> 00:04:14,846
um, I'm gonna be doing it soon.

87
00:04:15,046 --> 00:04:16,576
I'm just gathering more notes.

88
00:04:16,646 --> 00:04:20,936
I, uh, research, AKA I beat
another game this week.

89
00:04:20,936 --> 00:04:22,396
And it's a game I already beat before.

90
00:04:22,936 --> 00:04:24,586
Uh, it's Quantum Break.

91
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:30,436
It's a game that came out about
a decade ago, and it's good.

92
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:31,226
I think it's really good.

93
00:04:31,226 --> 00:04:32,176
It's, it's Remedy.

94
00:04:32,296 --> 00:04:36,016
I, um, I just couldn't remember exactly
how it went so I wanted to play it again.

95
00:04:36,546 --> 00:04:38,216
And, uh, yeah.

96
00:04:38,276 --> 00:04:39,116
It, it, it's good.

97
00:04:39,186 --> 00:04:43,146
I, I definitely don't think it's … It,
it, it's better than what I think the

98
00:04:43,156 --> 00:04:47,276
publications that came out about it
and all the, like, reviews, but yeah.

99
00:04:47,786 --> 00:04:48,226
It was fun.

100
00:04:48,356 --> 00:04:54,506
Um, need to pick up, uh, Baldur's Gate
3 again and continue playing that, but I

101
00:04:54,516 --> 00:04:59,346
have, I have the Steam Machine right here
on a secondary m- uh, monitor while I

102
00:04:59,346 --> 00:05:03,436
work on my o- on my other stuff, whether
it be during, you know, just whatever.

103
00:05:03,696 --> 00:05:07,066
And so I've been playing it and
working on also the load kit,

104
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:08,716
which I'll have out soon-ish.

105
00:05:08,756 --> 00:05:13,686
It's, uh, it's kinda like … It's not
… I don't know if it's gonna be quite a

106
00:05:13,686 --> 00:05:18,966
replacement for Hero- Uh, He- Heroic,
but it's gonna be s- implementing some

107
00:05:18,966 --> 00:05:20,596
of the systems that I've been working on.

108
00:05:20,796 --> 00:05:25,436
Um, one of them is to, like, Dead Space
2, you can't really play it unless

109
00:05:25,436 --> 00:05:29,426
you have a patch, and the patch is n-
not intelligent for people to, like,

110
00:05:29,476 --> 00:05:31,936
or not easy for people to install.

111
00:05:32,336 --> 00:05:35,786
So I'm gonna try to see if I can … I
have a recipe system in it to make su-

112
00:05:35,996 --> 00:05:40,356
the guides much easier, so that type of
systems is what I've been working on.

113
00:05:40,446 --> 00:05:45,936
It's why I wanna make guides for,
like, on YouTube, but I … And we've

114
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:47,106
talked about this before in the past.

115
00:05:47,126 --> 00:05:52,266
I just hate creating a guide that then
has to be updated, or even doing a guide

116
00:05:52,266 --> 00:05:56,646
where I'm like, "A script would fix this,"
and I could just give them the script and,

117
00:05:56,686 --> 00:06:01,896
and showcase how it w- k- just up to that
point, and then okay, yeah, just download

118
00:06:01,896 --> 00:06:03,146
this and just run it, and that's it.

119
00:06:03,146 --> 00:06:04,316
It works, so.

120
00:06:05,046 --> 00:06:08,116
It's what I'm kinda working on
is that type of system still.

121
00:06:09,116 --> 00:06:10,436
Good stuff, good stuff.

122
00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:16,476
I have been working on my YouTube
videos, silly little YouTube videos,

123
00:06:16,486 --> 00:06:18,466
Steam, the Steam Machine master classes.

124
00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:19,497
Nice

125
00:06:19,806 --> 00:06:26,526
uh, this, uh, next episode, oh, I
shouldn't spoil it, but it's been

126
00:06:26,526 --> 00:06:30,796
taking a little longer than expected
to record for various reasons.

127
00:06:32,096 --> 00:06:35,696
But, uh, other, other than that,
though, it's been just me playing

128
00:06:35,706 --> 00:06:38,446
Slay the Spire 2 As always.

129
00:06:40,186 --> 00:06:40,606
Uh,

130
00:06:41,487 --> 00:06:44,327
I downloaded that and I still
haven't played it yet because I

131
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:49,007
know that once I start playing
it, it's gonna be a lot of time.

132
00:06:49,377 --> 00:06:50,047
Yeah

133
00:06:50,282 --> 00:06:54,362
pro- yeah, it certainly has
consumed my life for now.

134
00:06:54,382 --> 00:06:57,142
But some other games c- look to
become another pretty interesting.

135
00:06:57,192 --> 00:07:00,702
Dragon's Dogma 2 just got a patch
that apparently fixed performance.

136
00:07:01,312 --> 00:07:02,942
It apparently runs on Steam Deck now.

137
00:07:03,312 --> 00:07:04,212
Like, actually.

138
00:07:04,403 --> 00:07:04,543
I know

139
00:07:05,232 --> 00:07:09,282
before it ran at, like, maybe 10 FPS and
it was unverified, but now it runs at,

140
00:07:09,282 --> 00:07:11,142
like, 30, which is kind of insane to me.

141
00:07:11,952 --> 00:07:16,132
I remember one of the best ways to
increase your frame rate is to kill

142
00:07:16,132 --> 00:07:21,232
everyone in, everyone in all of the
towns 'cause they were, 'cause th-

143
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:24,162
they were very CPU intense, I will say.

144
00:07:25,442 --> 00:07:29,872
And I think Gamers Nexus confirmed
this by killing everyone, killing

145
00:07:29,892 --> 00:07:33,952
everyone Ah, man Good game.

146
00:07:34,792 --> 00:07:35,512
I, I liked it.

147
00:07:36,142 --> 00:07:38,262
The DLC's coming out soon,
so I gotta prepare for that.

148
00:07:38,422 --> 00:07:43,392
God, there's so many good games coming
out soon that aren't just GTA VI.

149
00:07:43,392 --> 00:07:46,632
And even GTA VI actually looks
kind of decent, but I'm just

150
00:07:46,632 --> 00:07:47,792
gonna wait for the PC version.

151
00:07:47,822 --> 00:07:48,642
I'm not in a rush.

152
00:07:49,332 --> 00:07:50,302
I'm immune to FOMO

153
00:07:51,302 --> 00:07:54,502
It looks fun, but I, I will see.

154
00:07:55,192 --> 00:07:56,702
I, I'm not immune to FOMO.

155
00:07:56,732 --> 00:08:03,962
I, I get FOMO really bad, but, um,
I don't like the, the crime stories.

156
00:08:03,962 --> 00:08:07,202
I don't like… I like
being good guys or neutral.

157
00:08:07,292 --> 00:08:08,882
I don't really like being a bad guy.

158
00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:11,492
There's only been a few games
where I've really enjoyed it, like

159
00:08:11,492 --> 00:08:15,092
Prototype, where you're kind of a
bad guy and, uh, I, I don't know.

160
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,121
like a, but like a justifiable bad guy

161
00:08:17,332 --> 00:08:19,062
Yeah, kind of a justifiable one.

162
00:08:19,062 --> 00:08:23,082
Like, you're, like, you're the monster
that they created essentially in, in a

163
00:08:23,092 --> 00:08:28,292
way or… Um, but with GTA VI, I just… I
don't, I think it, I, I'm not gonna be the

164
00:08:28,292 --> 00:08:29,542
one that, like, wants to ban or anything.

165
00:08:29,542 --> 00:08:34,982
I do think it glorifies, uh, crime and,
uh, but it's just not my cup of tea.

166
00:08:34,982 --> 00:08:36,212
I like to explore, though.

167
00:08:36,212 --> 00:08:40,512
If they can make it so it's easier
for me to just screw around and

168
00:08:40,552 --> 00:08:41,972
not really do the story, fine.

169
00:08:42,272 --> 00:08:45,392
But, like, if it has, like, the
beginning portion like the last GTA

170
00:08:45,412 --> 00:08:48,202
did where you kinda have to go through
the story first before you can start

171
00:08:48,202 --> 00:08:50,372
screwing around, really annoying.

172
00:08:50,552 --> 00:08:53,472
Or the, yeah, to unlock more and
more, like, you have to do the story.

173
00:08:53,512 --> 00:08:54,962
I don't… I get it, though.

174
00:08:54,992 --> 00:08:55,452
I get it.

175
00:08:55,502 --> 00:08:56,722
I just… We'll see.

176
00:08:56,832 --> 00:08:57,122
We'll see.

177
00:08:57,142 --> 00:09:02,242
Maybe, I, I wanna pay $80
or whatever it is to, you

178
00:09:02,459 --> 00:09:02,919
$100

179
00:09:02,962 --> 00:09:07,722
have… It's $100 for the Complete
Edition but yeah, for the whatever

180
00:09:07,722 --> 00:09:09,532
edition, it's, it's 80, right?

181
00:09:09,592 --> 00:09:10,142
And so

182
00:09:10,557 --> 00:09:11,097
Right.

183
00:09:11,177 --> 00:09:13,127
Yeah, the $80 for the incomplete version.

184
00:09:14,514 --> 00:09:15,104
Hmm.

185
00:09:15,164 --> 00:09:15,804
We'll see.

186
00:09:15,924 --> 00:09:16,234
We'll see.

187
00:09:16,244 --> 00:09:17,454
And it's for the PS5.

188
00:09:17,707 --> 00:09:20,797
says he's immune from
FOMO Come on, Hi-Tech

189
00:09:22,784 --> 00:09:23,224
I

190
00:09:23,231 --> 00:09:24,361
buying it at launch

191
00:09:25,135 --> 00:09:28,325
Are, are you gonna buy the complete
edition when you do buy it?

192
00:09:29,535 --> 00:09:34,435
Hopefully when it comes to PC, it'll
just be $80 for the complete edition.

193
00:09:35,535 --> 00:09:36,285
Hopefully

194
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:37,997
answering the question, I think.

195
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:41,229
I might, I might, I might do it.

196
00:09:41,673 --> 00:09:42,103
Yeah.

197
00:09:42,189 --> 00:09:43,519
as immune to FOMO as I thought

198
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:45,249
Oh, that's funny

199
00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:49,018
I'm not any le- like, I'd probably get
the complete edition too, technically.

200
00:09:49,028 --> 00:09:52,538
Like, but I have other games that
are co- like, um, a bunch of horror

201
00:09:52,538 --> 00:09:55,608
games this year that are coming up
that I'm really excited for too.

202
00:09:56,088 --> 00:10:02,888
But there's, um, the new vampire one
that came out just recently, uh, Dawn w-

203
00:10:02,971 --> 00:10:04,971
of the Blood Walker or something

204
00:10:05,754 --> 00:10:06,764
Something like that, yeah.

205
00:10:06,834 --> 00:10:09,724
That one looks pretty interesting, so
I'll probably pick that up eventually.

206
00:10:09,834 --> 00:10:11,394
But yeah.

207
00:10:11,719 --> 00:10:12,119
good

208
00:10:12,994 --> 00:10:15,344
Hopefully make it so that I don't
feel… That, that's the hard part

209
00:10:15,344 --> 00:10:20,064
is like I want something that I can
bite off when GTA VI comes out so I

210
00:10:20,104 --> 00:10:23,134
don't feel like I'm have to buy it.

211
00:10:23,134 --> 00:10:26,604
'Cause I know if I buy it I'll have
fun for two hours and then not play it

212
00:10:27,604 --> 00:10:30,724
But it looks interesting from a
gra- like a, from a graphical side

213
00:10:30,724 --> 00:10:33,894
and from like a game dev side, it
looks… And, and all the GTAs are

214
00:10:33,894 --> 00:10:36,534
always kind of interesting like this
too when they first release, 'cause

215
00:10:36,534 --> 00:10:38,874
they're decently, decent graphics wise.

216
00:10:39,284 --> 00:10:45,414
This one definitely I'm curious how,
I'm just curious how those, how they

217
00:10:45,414 --> 00:10:47,554
did everything and how well it will run

218
00:10:49,217 --> 00:10:50,947
We'll find out soon enough.

219
00:10:50,977 --> 00:10:54,887
But before we get started, if you
liked this podcast and you like

221
00:10:57,967 --> 00:11:00,537
We're still trying to hit 1,000
subscribers on YouTube by the end

222
00:11:00,537 --> 00:11:02,327
of the year, so this will help us

223
00:11:02,408 --> 00:11:02,698
close

224
00:11:03,357 --> 00:11:04,417
So close.

225
00:11:05,207 --> 00:11:07,207
We're this close to greatness.

226
00:11:09,017 --> 00:11:10,847
be sure to support us when you can.

227
00:11:10,917 --> 00:11:17,217
Uh, but in the meantime, though, let's
talk about our good friend SteamDB.

228
00:11:17,227 --> 00:11:19,597
So you guys know what SteamDB is, right?

229
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:20,977
Yes.

230
00:11:21,987 --> 00:11:22,897
It's a good, it's a good place.

231
00:11:23,027 --> 00:11:23,747
It's a good place to be.

232
00:11:25,482 --> 00:11:29,432
Yeah, so for those who don't know,
SteamDB is a website that's, uh, quote,

233
00:11:29,672 --> 00:11:33,552
"The database for, of everything on
Steam." So let's look at, say, I don't

234
00:11:33,552 --> 00:11:37,312
know, uh, l- let's look at PalWorld.

235
00:11:38,552 --> 00:11:43,852
It gives you a lot of information, app
ID, developer, publisher, player counts.

236
00:11:44,322 --> 00:11:46,262
Ooh, look, a peak of two million.

237
00:11:47,042 --> 00:11:47,652
Dang.

238
00:11:48,362 --> 00:11:48,592
then you…

239
00:11:48,622 --> 00:11:54,482
It's not just player counts though, it's
like the history of patches, uh, all sorts

240
00:11:54,482 --> 00:11:57,062
of other important information as well.

241
00:11:57,972 --> 00:12:01,112
Though most people just seem to use
SteamDB as just a way to dunk on

242
00:12:01,112 --> 00:12:03,662
certain games being, uh, like this.

243
00:12:03,662 --> 00:12:07,162
Like, you know, s- yo, one of
the most, one of the most popular

244
00:12:07,162 --> 00:12:08,762
games to look at is Marathon.

245
00:12:09,182 --> 00:12:09,882
You wanna know why?

246
00:12:11,122 --> 00:12:12,812
'Cause they're watching
this number right here.

247
00:12:13,132 --> 00:12:18,742
It's some dumb sh- it's some dumb
bullcrap, that they just spend all day

248
00:12:18,742 --> 00:12:22,532
watching this game instead of, uh, I don't
know, just living their lives or whatever.

249
00:12:24,172 --> 00:12:25,282
Uh, but, but that's besides the point.

250
00:12:25,282 --> 00:12:30,492
The point is that Nexus Mods
just and acquired SteamDB.

251
00:12:31,492 --> 00:12:31,852
Thoughts on this?

252
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:37,842
I have a really hard time 'cause the A-
the, the data or like the, the servers

253
00:12:37,852 --> 00:12:41,262
and data everything, 'cause I know they
pull a lot of the data from Steam, right?

254
00:12:41,262 --> 00:12:41,782
Most of it.

255
00:12:42,212 --> 00:12:45,812
But then there's some other stuff
that they collect, I'm assuming,

256
00:12:45,872 --> 00:12:48,992
and have their own database for,
and that's gotta be expensive for

257
00:12:48,992 --> 00:12:52,052
how many people hit this So cost,

258
00:12:52,081 --> 00:12:52,551
mean

259
00:12:53,102 --> 00:12:53,852
I'm just, I'm…

260
00:12:53,902 --> 00:12:55,722
They have a Support Us, but,
like, how many people are

261
00:12:55,722 --> 00:12:57,192
probably usely- using that?

262
00:12:57,702 --> 00:12:58,492
Who knows?

263
00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:03,212
Like, I couldn't imagine this being
profitable in any way, and if you're

264
00:13:03,212 --> 00:13:05,872
spend- Like, I get it, like, there's
a labor of love, but, like, there

265
00:13:05,882 --> 00:13:08,282
also gets a point where if it's
your job and you're not getting paid

266
00:13:08,282 --> 00:13:12,022
for it, you're essentially getting
screwed over in today's world.

267
00:13:12,032 --> 00:13:14,162
But, ugh

268
00:13:15,589 --> 00:13:16,879
Uh, so two thoughts.

269
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,969
What happens if you click Support
Us up there in the menu bar?

270
00:13:20,478 --> 00:13:21,298
It goes to this

271
00:13:21,457 --> 00:13:22,267
page right here

272
00:13:22,471 --> 00:13:23,561
Oh, oh, that's what that is.

273
00:13:23,561 --> 00:13:23,911
Okay.

274
00:13:24,643 --> 00:13:25,183
Yeah.

275
00:13:25,803 --> 00:13:27,243
It's completely ad-free, by the way.

276
00:13:27,243 --> 00:13:28,813
The website doesn't have any ads

277
00:13:29,072 --> 00:13:29,512
Mhm

278
00:13:29,563 --> 00:13:30,583
so that's gonna change.

279
00:13:31,583 --> 00:13:32,403
Ja, nej

280
00:13:33,009 --> 00:13:33,059
Oh, uh, here's my thing.

281
00:13:33,059 --> 00:13:36,409
I wish he would've put ads in and had
them controlled and sponsors, uh, in

282
00:13:36,409 --> 00:13:41,189
there that, that actually showcased into
the site 'cause the controlled ones by

283
00:13:41,359 --> 00:13:45,649
whoever create… I don't know who the
creator of SteamDB is, but, uh, if he has

284
00:13:46,699 --> 00:13:50,849
the fourth… Like, to not do ads right
now, like if he would've just done ads and

285
00:13:50,849 --> 00:13:52,849
helped support it more that way, great.

286
00:13:53,279 --> 00:14:01,679
But like, dude, the practices Nexus
Mod has is, to a point, criminal, at

287
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,169
least, uh, what I've known in the past.

288
00:14:03,189 --> 00:14:06,959
Like, they are gonna add
tons of, um, ads to it.

289
00:14:07,239 --> 00:14:10,509
Uh, unless they've cleaned up their site,
they're gonna add a lot of ads to it.

290
00:14:10,509 --> 00:14:15,809
And then, uh, any content that's submitted
on like Nexus Mod, they claim that they

291
00:14:15,809 --> 00:14:17,739
have ownership from my understanding.

292
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:21,189
I d- they could have changed it, but if
you put a mod on there, they'll claim

293
00:14:21,209 --> 00:14:26,719
a pretty much like ownership of it, at
least for, uh, for… I'd have to look

294
00:14:26,719 --> 00:14:30,269
into it again though, but … 'Cause
this looks cleaner than it was like a

295
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:32,019
year or two ago when I was last in it.

296
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:32,660
Well,

297
00:14:32,739 --> 00:14:32,979
But

298
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,350
he's in Brave right now,

299
00:14:34,536 --> 00:14:35,466
Yeah, I have ad block

300
00:14:36,821 --> 00:14:37,651
Oh, well

301
00:14:38,770 --> 00:14:39,060
How do we d-

302
00:14:39,516 --> 00:14:39,526
I

303
00:14:39,850 --> 00:14:41,130
how do we disable AdBlock?

304
00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:42,610
Let's find out what it looks like.

305
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,390
Oh.

306
00:14:44,390 --> 00:14:44,680
So it

307
00:14:44,723 --> 00:14:45,593
I, that's what I'm saying.

308
00:14:45,743 --> 00:14:48,973
It, it looks a lot cleaner than what
I've seen in the past, but we'll…

309
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,190
Origin on too

310
00:14:50,803 --> 00:14:51,083
Jeez.

311
00:14:52,963 --> 00:14:53,593
It's still,

312
00:14:53,722 --> 00:14:54,512
the same thing, Hi Tech

313
00:14:55,283 --> 00:14:57,913
I don't think there's any,
um, ads on this main page.

314
00:14:57,913 --> 00:15:02,103
I think there's a probably a reason
behind that, but eh, I wonder what-

315
00:15:02,594 --> 00:15:04,064
Oh, I, oh, I, oh no.

316
00:15:04,266 --> 00:15:04,476
yeah.

317
00:15:04,564 --> 00:15:07,914
c- oh no, I can feel the… Oh my God.

318
00:15:09,334 --> 00:15:10,924
freaking way, man.

319
00:15:10,985 --> 00:15:11,565
I'd be careful

320
00:15:11,614 --> 00:15:13,044
four ads already

321
00:15:13,535 --> 00:15:14,805
careful going to some of these pages.

322
00:15:14,805 --> 00:15:16,485
There's gonna be NSFW stuff

323
00:15:17,485 --> 00:15:17,625
Oh

324
00:15:17,776 --> 00:15:18,136
So

325
00:15:18,215 --> 00:15:18,595
at that.

326
00:15:19,357 --> 00:15:24,037
Oh yeah, ads are… Dude, look at th-
this ad here for Enfield is lagging.

327
00:15:24,067 --> 00:15:24,757
Holy crap.

328
00:15:25,147 --> 00:15:25,877
Yeah.

329
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:28,587
I'm, I'm turn, uh…

330
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:30,460
So

331
00:15:30,527 --> 00:15:31,307
turn it back on.

332
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:33,760
there's some ads I'm… I don't know.

333
00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:36,020
We need to be more tasteful for
the ads these days, but I get it.

334
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:36,920
Gotta make money.

335
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:41,150
The problem is, like, injecting the
ads, I don't have too m- as long

336
00:15:41,150 --> 00:15:46,240
as you're not, like, destroying my
eyes, uh, and, and my performance and

337
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,850
everything like that, I'm okay with ads.

338
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:49,580
Uh, but

339
00:15:49,867 --> 00:15:51,577
The ad industry had their chance

340
00:15:53,264 --> 00:15:57,564
From my understanding, like I said, I
think once you upload anything to Nexus

341
00:15:57,574 --> 00:15:59,344
Mods, they claim ownership pretty much.

342
00:16:00,155 --> 00:16:00,425
Yeah.

343
00:16:01,004 --> 00:16:01,874
They, and they have,

344
00:16:01,955 --> 00:16:05,405
gonna claim ownership over Steam,
uh, now that they own SteamDB.

345
00:16:07,182 --> 00:16:08,882
Uh, I'll have to look.

346
00:16:08,882 --> 00:16:13,712
I, I, I, that's how it was a little
bit ago, but, uh, I, I me- I remember

347
00:16:13,712 --> 00:16:17,042
looking into it because I wanted to do
some mod management with, uh, one of

348
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:18,832
my past systems, maybe Load Kit could.

349
00:16:19,152 --> 00:16:23,432
But, like, if you try to utilize
any mods that have been u- or,

350
00:16:23,442 --> 00:16:24,472
like, try to… I don't know.

351
00:16:24,482 --> 00:16:30,462
There's a whole anti-competitive,
uh, ring to it, so I'm not gonna

352
00:16:30,472 --> 00:16:33,202
go in and try to promote anything
I don't, I don't remember, 'cause

353
00:16:33,202 --> 00:16:34,392
I looked into this years ago

354
00:16:35,449 --> 00:16:37,129
I have a legitimate question.

355
00:16:37,739 --> 00:16:42,149
I feel like I might have asked this
before, but the question is, um,

356
00:16:42,189 --> 00:16:46,629
if you ask Mitt Romney, he says
that, uh, corporations are people.

357
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:51,629
So how is it legal for one
corporation to acquire another

358
00:16:51,629 --> 00:16:53,129
without it being a slave trade?

359
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,510
That's pretty funny.

360
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,220
Um

361
00:16:57,275 --> 00:16:58,945
at, you, you're noticing too hard, man.

362
00:16:58,955 --> 00:17:00,705
They, you better be careful, man

363
00:17:01,059 --> 00:17:01,469
I know.

364
00:17:01,469 --> 00:17:05,639
I'm gonna think, I'm gonna,
uh, push myself out a window.

365
00:17:07,541 --> 00:17:09,881
Yeah, this, you, you're
gonna get defenestrated

366
00:17:10,715 --> 00:17:11,445
Yes

367
00:17:12,445 --> 00:17:16,645
I like what Nexus Mod does someti-
like, there are some, like, merits

368
00:17:16,645 --> 00:17:17,975
to having Nexus Mods around.

369
00:17:17,985 --> 00:17:22,355
The problem is, yeah, yeah, I agree, that
a lot of their practices are kind of wack

370
00:17:23,355 --> 00:17:23,375
Yeah.

371
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:27,305
No, the thing is Nexus Mods is g-
like, we need modding, um, community,

372
00:17:27,305 --> 00:17:28,625
and I've defended it at times.

373
00:17:28,625 --> 00:17:29,865
Like, we need the modding community.

374
00:17:29,865 --> 00:17:32,505
We need ways to distribute it.

375
00:17:32,515 --> 00:17:36,345
We need ways to actually, like, support
it too to where they don't go under, and

376
00:17:36,345 --> 00:17:41,465
I think they went pretty harsh in a way to
help protect th- 'cause I think they did

377
00:17:41,465 --> 00:17:44,595
almost go under at one point years ago.

378
00:17:44,615 --> 00:17:56,285
But s- like, their policies right now
are very harsh, and I don't like them So

379
00:17:57,056 --> 00:17:58,216
Yeah, I mean,

380
00:17:58,315 --> 00:17:58,875
I don't know

381
00:17:58,876 --> 00:17:59,476
yeah.

382
00:17:59,886 --> 00:18:02,526
The, the real question though,
are there any other alternatives,

383
00:18:02,556 --> 00:18:03,556
like reasonable alternatives?

384
00:18:03,566 --> 00:18:07,746
Let's say I wanted to mod 2077.

385
00:18:07,746 --> 00:18:10,526
I wonder if there are any decent
websites for Cyberpunk mods

386
00:18:11,131 --> 00:18:13,821
There's I think one or two others,
but they're not gonna be the same.

387
00:18:13,841 --> 00:18:17,701
And like I said, I th- they have
anti-competitive, uh, things

388
00:18:17,701 --> 00:18:22,121
that I don't know how legit-
litigious they get, but they might

389
00:18:24,134 --> 00:18:24,324
Yeah.

390
00:18:24,384 --> 00:18:28,264
I believe if you uploaded your
mod to Nexus Mods, you're not

391
00:18:28,344 --> 00:18:30,134
allowed to upload it other places

392
00:18:30,878 --> 00:18:32,538
Well, that sucks

393
00:18:33,709 --> 00:18:38,829
I, uh, and honestly, I think if someone
had enough money to, um, c- like,

394
00:18:38,859 --> 00:18:41,849
to actually just do it, they c- I
don't think it's, I don't think it's

395
00:18:41,849 --> 00:18:43,959
something they can actually control.

396
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:48,599
Um, 'cause that's, uh… Amazon tries to
do this and they get in trouble sometimes,

397
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:49,929
but it's, it's anti-competitive.

398
00:18:49,999 --> 00:18:52,399
I don't think you can, um…

399
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,569
You can have exclusivity deals, but
when it's free, uh, I don't know.

400
00:18:55,569 --> 00:18:59,079
I think, I just don't f- I don't
know if it's, if it actually went

401
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:00,339
to court if it would go anywhere

402
00:19:01,339 --> 00:19:03,609
Okay, this is not, this
is not what I wanted.

403
00:19:04,089 --> 00:19:06,629
Oh, there is a really good website
for, like, Risk of Rain 2 mods.

404
00:19:06,929 --> 00:19:09,829
It's called modstore.io.

405
00:19:10,899 --> 00:19:13,989
And this is where, like, a lot of
some of the other games out there.

406
00:19:15,419 --> 00:19:21,539
And I think I vastly prefer this
website over, uh, over, you know.

407
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:27,619
But the problem is is that they don't
have the same games on here, like is

408
00:19:27,619 --> 00:19:29,789
not on here unfortunately, for example.

409
00:19:30,629 --> 00:19:34,109
to this website a lot for Risk
of Rain 2 mods, 'cause Risk of

410
00:19:34,109 --> 00:19:35,619
Rain 2 is also a great game, too.

411
00:19:36,769 --> 00:19:37,129
yeah

412
00:19:38,129 --> 00:19:41,059
I don't, like, my thing is
just don't prevent competition.

413
00:19:41,139 --> 00:19:41,989
That's my only thing.

414
00:19:41,999 --> 00:19:44,889
Like, and I do think
Nexus Mods does do that.

415
00:19:44,889 --> 00:19:45,819
That's my biggest problem.

416
00:19:46,109 --> 00:19:47,629
If… I don't mind the website.

417
00:19:47,629 --> 00:19:50,929
I think there's a lot of they do has
been in, like, good and interesting.

418
00:19:51,299 --> 00:19:56,269
Uh, completely canceled out by…
I, I don't even know if I care about

419
00:19:56,269 --> 00:20:01,069
the ads so, eh, the ads so much,
but it does get a little intense.

420
00:20:01,729 --> 00:20:05,889
Uh, they gotta tune those out,
but it's the anti-competitive

421
00:20:05,899 --> 00:20:06,859
behavior that they have.

422
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:11,549
And people could correct us if we're
wrong in the comments, but that's,

423
00:20:11,569 --> 00:20:15,389
from my understanding, that is
what it is, that you cannot upload

424
00:20:15,389 --> 00:20:19,419
anywhere else that you have a mod,
or that you uploaded to Nexus Mods.

425
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:22,969
Which pretty much says they have
ownership over it, which is disgusting

426
00:20:24,670 --> 00:20:26,540
Yeah, I agree.

427
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,370
I mean, there needs to
be… I think having health-

428
00:20:30,410 --> 00:20:32,030
competition is healthy for sure.

429
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,800
The gr- the big question though
is, you know, there isn't a whole

430
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,050
lot out there though, and even
then Nexus likes to stifle things.

431
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:38,750
So,

432
00:20:39,225 --> 00:20:41,165
That's disgusting behavior, by the way.

433
00:20:41,165 --> 00:20:44,975
That's really disgusting behavior,
uh, to say that you essentially

434
00:20:45,005 --> 00:20:46,165
own it and you can't redistribute.

435
00:20:46,175 --> 00:20:47,785
That's crazy

436
00:20:48,785 --> 00:20:52,215
The real question though is
what will happen to SteamDB?

437
00:20:52,225 --> 00:20:55,785
So according to Nexus, according to them,
they say that it'll still operate the same

438
00:20:55,785 --> 00:21:02,985
as it always, it's always been for now,
but only time will tell Also, this is the

439
00:21:02,985 --> 00:21:06,345
owner of Nexus Mods, CEO of Nexus Mods.

440
00:21:06,355 --> 00:21:11,325
He's, he's a, uh, he's into crypto
and NFTs and all that good stuff

441
00:21:13,194 --> 00:21:16,254
I mean, he's a CEO, so th- that tracks

442
00:21:17,803 --> 00:21:19,833
Dang, I'll be the
world's first ethical CEO

443
00:21:23,442 --> 00:21:23,782
One…

444
00:21:23,899 --> 00:21:24,369
that possible?

445
00:21:25,732 --> 00:21:27,632
I think it's definitely possible.

446
00:21:27,632 --> 00:21:31,642
I think it's just they get, it's,
it's a echo box for them, like

447
00:21:31,642 --> 00:21:34,922
an echo chamber, and they don't
understand once they get to that level

448
00:21:36,751 --> 00:21:40,271
If I can dream it, you can be it.

449
00:21:41,781 --> 00:21:42,531
That's all I

450
00:21:42,608 --> 00:21:45,568
With A- with AI, you don't even
need a CEO to own your company.

451
00:21:45,568 --> 00:21:46,918
You just have the AI be your CEO

452
00:21:47,918 --> 00:21:50,058
Uh, I, I bet you it'd be more ethical too.

453
00:21:50,238 --> 00:21:50,398
They

454
00:21:50,473 --> 00:21:51,313
It'd be more ethical

455
00:21:51,418 --> 00:21:54,608
need, they don't need to waste
their monies on stupid, like, wine

456
00:21:54,608 --> 00:21:56,298
and dines and sh- stuff like that.

457
00:21:56,553 --> 00:21:57,183
Exactly

458
00:21:58,088 --> 00:21:59,258
They can just work forever.

459
00:21:59,598 --> 00:22:03,788
They can… I bet you they work,
I bet you they work 250 times more

460
00:22:03,788 --> 00:22:04,858
efficiently than your average CEO

461
00:22:06,287 --> 00:22:09,147
Oh, that's brutal and it's probably true

462
00:22:09,702 --> 00:22:10,452
Uh, yeah.

463
00:22:10,462 --> 00:22:15,162
I mean, more maybe like 3,000%
because most CEOs don't do anything.

464
00:22:16,102 --> 00:22:16,612
Literally

465
00:22:16,622 --> 00:22:17,152
Yeah

466
00:22:17,237 --> 00:22:20,727
W- the, the thing is that's what
makes it so hard is I've seen very

467
00:22:20,727 --> 00:22:25,697
efficient CEOs and I've seen very
inefficient CEOs in my days working.

468
00:22:26,087 --> 00:22:29,267
The ones that are, like, worried, they're,
they're just like, they micromanage.

469
00:22:29,267 --> 00:22:31,587
They're, they're worried, they
wanna be litigious, they wanna

470
00:22:31,597 --> 00:22:35,417
do all this stuff, and it's like,
"Dude, you're not gonna be…

471
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:38,167
Like, none of the ramifications come back
to you 'cause you have golden parachutes.

472
00:22:38,167 --> 00:22:39,107
You have all the money already."

473
00:22:39,187 --> 00:22:41,947
Угу

474
00:22:42,897 --> 00:22:43,627
egos

475
00:22:44,627 --> 00:22:48,337
And you know, s- speaking of,
uh, speaking of having all the

476
00:22:48,337 --> 00:22:50,887
money, Nvidia has all the money

477
00:22:52,362 --> 00:22:53,392
All the monies

478
00:22:54,615 --> 00:22:59,405
You guys, you guys wanna spend five,
you wanna spend $5,090 for a 5090?

479
00:23:00,460 --> 00:23:01,180
Uh, no

480
00:23:02,239 --> 00:23:05,869
I would never buy another Nvidia product
for the re- I will never buy another

481
00:23:05,869 --> 00:23:07,339
Nvidia product for the rest of my life.

482
00:23:07,609 --> 00:23:08,799
Just went blank

483
00:23:09,206 --> 00:23:12,346
Well, to counter his, I'm only
buying Nvidia products now, so

484
00:23:12,346 --> 00:23:14,116
that cancels his thing out, so.

485
00:23:14,696 --> 00:23:15,156
I'm just kidding.

486
00:23:15,166 --> 00:23:15,486
I'm be-

487
00:23:15,676 --> 00:23:17,676
I'm, being an a- I'm being
a, I'm being an asshole.

488
00:23:17,676 --> 00:23:18,226
I'm just kidding.

489
00:23:18,905 --> 00:23:20,285
I guess that means I'm buying Intel

490
00:23:21,540 --> 00:23:22,000
Intel.

491
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,470
Uh, it… Honestly, I've been,
I have not been buying Nvidia

492
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,730
since the 3090 I've had.

493
00:23:30,810 --> 00:23:31,780
I've been buying AMD.

494
00:23:32,275 --> 00:23:32,435
Yeah

495
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:34,120
I, they've really soured me

496
00:23:35,603 --> 00:23:37,923
If it makes you feel better,
Gardener, I've never actually

497
00:23:37,923 --> 00:23:38,973
directly given money to Nvidia.

498
00:23:40,573 --> 00:23:42,043
I've just bought secondhand cards

499
00:23:43,021 --> 00:23:43,501
Nice.

500
00:23:43,661 --> 00:23:44,471
I mean, that's better, right?

501
00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:46,140
There you go

502
00:23:46,579 --> 00:23:47,709
I mean, yeah

503
00:23:49,164 --> 00:23:49,814
That is better

504
00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:51,699
with me, but with, with smartphones.

505
00:23:51,709 --> 00:23:53,659
I w- have never bought a new smartphone.

506
00:23:53,719 --> 00:23:55,569
I've never had a smartphone on a contract.

507
00:23:56,049 --> 00:23:58,309
I've only ever bought secondhand phones

508
00:23:59,281 --> 00:24:00,451
That's a smart way to go about it

509
00:24:01,207 --> 00:24:01,517
Yeah.

510
00:24:02,883 --> 00:24:03,023
Na,

511
00:24:03,087 --> 00:24:03,157
a Pixel

512
00:24:03,343 --> 00:24:03,543
mi

513
00:24:04,587 --> 00:24:09,307
last year for like $150, and
feel pretty good about it

514
00:24:09,952 --> 00:24:12,032
I, give Daddy Apple plenty of money.

515
00:24:13,582 --> 00:24:14,952
I shouldn't, but I do

516
00:24:15,857 --> 00:24:20,237
So this is apparently the cheapest
5090 you can buy right now

517
00:24:21,025 --> 00:24:21,905
Holy fuck, dude.

518
00:24:21,915 --> 00:24:22,295
Why?

519
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:23,755
money.

520
00:24:24,655 --> 00:24:27,555
And it's not like the
5090 was affordable in the

521
00:24:27,616 --> 00:24:28,196
gigs though.

522
00:24:28,215 --> 00:24:28,945
It was already like,

523
00:24:29,136 --> 00:24:29,146
Hmm

524
00:24:29,435 --> 00:24:30,305
it was already like, what?

525
00:24:30,315 --> 00:24:31,885
$3,000 when it launched?

526
00:24:32,255 --> 00:24:32,955
MSRP?

527
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:37,850
Yeah, that was already more
expensive than I wanted to spend.

528
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,680
I, I'm just, we're also graphically
at this point where, um, a 5090 is

529
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,090
kinda pointless in a lot of ways.

530
00:24:44,090 --> 00:24:47,960
Like yes, you are going to
get the best, but you can 4K

531
00:24:47,980 --> 00:24:50,030
game with a 5070 and a 5080.

532
00:24:51,230 --> 00:24:52,970
You don't need to do the 5090

533
00:24:53,783 --> 00:25:02,173
Dude, games like Rise of the Tomb
Raider on ultra settings at 4K my

534
00:25:02,173 --> 00:25:10,443
living room OLED looks better than games
running at 1440p, like, Doom Eternal,

535
00:25:10,453 --> 00:25:15,033
or not Doom Eternal, but, uh, Doom:
The Dark Ages at mid graphics, right?

536
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:16,493
At 1440p.

537
00:25:16,723 --> 00:25:19,403
So I don't, like, I don't know why
we're all obsessed about, like,

538
00:25:19,403 --> 00:25:24,833
graphics because, you know, most
of the time older games look better

539
00:25:24,833 --> 00:25:26,693
nowadays is what I've found, right?

540
00:25:27,013 --> 00:25:29,343
Like, the modern games have, like,

541
00:25:31,443 --> 00:25:35,043
t-textures, and, uh, the
lighting looks worse.

542
00:25:35,043 --> 00:25:39,923
Like, lighting is basically disabled,
uh, in modern games on mid settings

543
00:25:40,343 --> 00:25:43,863
versus, like, if you're playing a
game that's, like, 10 years old, the

544
00:25:43,863 --> 00:25:49,603
graphics look amazing, and most modern
GPUs that you can afford play them at,

545
00:25:49,613 --> 00:25:52,633
like, 400 frames a second at four- 4K.

546
00:25:52,673 --> 00:25:55,783
I, I'm exaggerating a little bit,
but you know what I'm saying?

547
00:25:56,053 --> 00:25:56,993
Are you following what I'm saying?

548
00:25:56,993 --> 00:26:02,313
Like, play a modern AAA game, and it looks
like dog shit on the GPU you can afford,

549
00:26:02,313 --> 00:26:04,213
so why even bother with modern games?

550
00:26:04,263 --> 00:26:06,133
I don't, I just don't get it anymore.

551
00:26:06,422 --> 00:26:11,352
I don't agree with the modern games look
dog shit on a mo- or on a mid-range GPU.

552
00:26:11,352 --> 00:26:12,552
It's just some do.

553
00:26:13,232 --> 00:26:14,402
And honestly, even with

554
00:26:14,695 --> 00:26:14,895
That's what I'm saying

555
00:26:15,242 --> 00:26:21,862
even with that, like, I don't know, I
feel like a mid-range will get you m-

556
00:26:22,022 --> 00:26:25,692
like pretty much console-level graphics,
and they… I think, which is great.

557
00:26:26,242 --> 00:26:30,392
Now, that being said, I do like the option
that people could buy a 5090 if they

558
00:26:30,392 --> 00:26:33,052
wanted to and have the best experience.

559
00:26:33,052 --> 00:26:34,642
I like that option that PC gives us.

560
00:26:34,902 --> 00:26:38,632
The problem is, is that, uh, I
don't even know if they actually c-

561
00:26:38,662 --> 00:26:40,312
I don't know why they make a 5090.

562
00:26:40,312 --> 00:26:45,092
I don't really think this profit
matters at all to NVIDIA, so I don't, I

563
00:26:45,112 --> 00:26:48,292
don't understand what's going on here.

564
00:26:48,292 --> 00:26:50,782
If it's just the resellers
pricing it that much because of

565
00:26:50,782 --> 00:26:55,882
demand, I don't understand, um,
the point of a 5090 these days.

566
00:26:55,892 --> 00:26:57,902
Like $5,000, just not worth it.

567
00:26:58,282 --> 00:27:02,492
Honestly, we should be… Like you,
for $5,000 you can get like a killer

568
00:27:02,492 --> 00:27:08,142
Mac Studio, um, that will probably
be just as good compute-wise.

569
00:27:08,152 --> 00:27:09,322
They're so good these days.

570
00:27:09,322 --> 00:27:13,132
Like the new, uh, M5s that are
coming out for, uh, Mac Studios.

571
00:27:14,213 --> 00:27:14,563
Yeah

572
00:27:14,702 --> 00:27:14,912
know.

573
00:27:15,442 --> 00:27:18,642
If we could just dump Proto- uh,
if you could do more ProtonDB

574
00:27:18,652 --> 00:27:22,382
stuff into that, you could have
some really good graphics there.

575
00:27:22,712 --> 00:27:23,162
I don't know.

576
00:27:23,672 --> 00:27:26,462
We need competition, and we just do
not have it, and that's, I think,

577
00:27:26,692 --> 00:27:29,692
the thing I hate the most about
all this, and that's why more and

578
00:27:29,712 --> 00:27:34,902
more we're seeing less competitive
prices, because competition's dead in

579
00:27:34,902 --> 00:27:36,652
today's ca- uh, capitalistic world.

580
00:27:37,032 --> 00:27:38,202
Capitalism's dead.

581
00:27:38,452 --> 00:27:41,332
It's the… Yeah, we've talked
about this multiple times.

582
00:27:41,332 --> 00:27:44,312
This is not… This is kind
of a sign of it, I would say

583
00:27:45,001 --> 00:27:49,461
So to be, to be clear though, to be
clear though, the 5090 is not the only

584
00:27:49,461 --> 00:27:51,251
graphics card that's seen a price hike.

585
00:27:52,011 --> 00:27:54,451
of NVIDIA's graphics cards have
seen a price hike, and apparently

586
00:27:54,461 --> 00:27:58,981
according to the article, the 5060
Ti has seen the biggest jump in, uh,

587
00:27:58,991 --> 00:28:07,681
ratio, the price ratio, from around
$429 MSRP to around 761 currently.

588
00:28:09,581 --> 00:28:11,741
It's, it's pretty bad, I will say.

589
00:28:12,411 --> 00:28:13,411
Oh, it's $800.

590
00:28:13,901 --> 00:28:16,791
It's almost 100%… It's
almost, uh, doubling the price.

591
00:28:16,791 --> 00:28:17,171
Dang.

592
00:28:18,171 --> 00:28:21,081
As for your poi- as for Gardner's
point about older games looking

593
00:28:21,091 --> 00:28:23,871
better, I mean, also depends too.

594
00:28:24,391 --> 00:28:27,151
The, it depends on if the game
ever had a strong art style.

595
00:28:27,151 --> 00:28:32,051
I mean, older games used to have, like,
more distinct art style, whereas every

596
00:28:32,051 --> 00:28:35,671
game nowadays kinda looks like it uses,
like, Nanite or something to that effect

597
00:28:36,121 --> 00:28:36,461
Yeah

598
00:28:37,461 --> 00:28:41,561
That said, have you guys seen
path tracing mods in older games?

599
00:28:41,921 --> 00:28:43,441
It looks pretty good in some of them

600
00:28:44,491 --> 00:28:44,811
No

601
00:28:45,621 --> 00:28:50,011
So Dark Souls II, uh, actually has
a path tracing mod and it ma- it, it

602
00:28:50,011 --> 00:28:51,271
looks like a night and day difference.

603
00:28:51,271 --> 00:28:51,801
I'll show you.

604
00:28:52,161 --> 00:28:52,671
Let's see.

605
00:28:52,901 --> 00:28:59,991
Dark Souls II path tracing mod Look
It's like a night and day difference.

606
00:28:59,991 --> 00:29:03,651
It's insane Oh, also, I also tried
running it on the Steam Machine.

607
00:29:04,351 --> 00:29:08,311
It runs terribly at 4K and 1440p.

608
00:29:08,321 --> 00:29:10,701
Big mistake trying to run
path tracing on that, on that

609
00:29:10,701 --> 00:29:11,991
thing, as much as I'd like to.

610
00:29:12,871 --> 00:29:15,621
But you know what else was a big mistake?

611
00:29:17,271 --> 00:29:22,631
DLSS 5 Well Some parts of DLSS 5.

612
00:29:22,641 --> 00:29:27,371
So I will admit we weren't, we went a
little ham on DLSS 5 last week because

613
00:29:27,381 --> 00:29:34,161
we were seeing crazy filters, but it's
officially out with, uh, 2K27, you know,

614
00:29:34,201 --> 00:29:40,881
NBA 2K27 And, uh, from what I can see,
it's pr- it's a pretty significant,

615
00:29:40,991 --> 00:29:45,971
uh, impact in GPU performance, which
is, is crazy to me 'cause DLSS existed

616
00:29:45,971 --> 00:29:49,221
primarily to boost GPU performance
by, you know, upscaling, right?

617
00:29:50,401 --> 00:29:50,591
Yeah

618
00:29:50,641 --> 00:29:52,301
By fudging the, the numbers, yeah

619
00:29:53,819 --> 00:29:57,129
Yeah, like you would like, you
would render at 1080p, but you would

620
00:29:57,129 --> 00:30:00,769
like downscale to 720 and then use,
uh, machine learning to upscale it

621
00:30:00,769 --> 00:30:02,949
back, it looked relatively decent.

622
00:30:03,009 --> 00:30:08,009
I mean, in like upscale, it looks
pretty… I mean, saying upscaling

623
00:30:08,009 --> 00:30:13,189
had, has to be, needs to be
mandatory, but like, I don't have

624
00:30:13,199 --> 00:30:14,119
that big of an issue with upscaling.

625
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:19,999
But like bundling DLS, like, but, but
like bundling this, the like AI generation

626
00:30:20,009 --> 00:30:22,529
with DLSS is just a huge mistake.

627
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,249
They should have just
it its own separate tech

628
00:30:27,060 --> 00:30:27,970
I, I agree.

629
00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:31,660
I, uh, but my thing is with the,
with, with the, well, they call…

630
00:30:31,670 --> 00:30:37,110
I mean, what they call, what they
call AI, um, and the upscale and

631
00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:38,830
all that, this all very similar.

632
00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:46,030
But, um, I… And like I said last
time, the most, the bombastic stuff

633
00:30:46,030 --> 00:30:50,450
we saw was people just going out of
control with DLSS 5 to make a point.

634
00:30:51,060 --> 00:30:54,280
It wasn't an honest point, 'cause I
don't think… It, it would be more

635
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,330
of an honest point of like, "Yeah,
like I went and upscaled it way out

636
00:30:57,330 --> 00:30:59,410
of control." That would be honest.

637
00:30:59,410 --> 00:31:02,450
I don't think it's honest when you
say, "This is what DLSS 5 is, is,

638
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,290
is this crazy thing. This is what
you're gonna get on the Pastor."

639
00:31:05,290 --> 00:31:07,000
That's not honest in my opinion.

640
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:11,420
I think you… Uh, uh, like the tech
on itself, if it's on the low end,

641
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:14,060
does not show case this crazy AI.

642
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,150
Doesn't say… I'm not saying that it
doesn't change the art direction or we

643
00:31:18,150 --> 00:31:21,550
shouldn't, uh, talk about or even like
say, "Hey, we wa- don't want this to be

644
00:31:21,550 --> 00:31:24,300
on by default." That's a different story.

645
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:27,580
But like, uh, some of the stuff
I've seen with DLSS 5 and even

646
00:31:27,580 --> 00:31:35,300
the AI portion on some games o- on
low does look good in my, for me.

647
00:31:35,890 --> 00:31:37,620
For not, it doesn't mean
it's for everyone, though.

648
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:42,260
And if it's the, a way for me not
to pay for a 5090, I, I guess, okay.

649
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:45,680
But then again, maybe NVIDIA's
winning the battle then on that,

650
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,250
'cause you're still using their tech

651
00:31:49,049 --> 00:31:56,449
So this is DLSS 5 with NBA 2K And I don't
know if this actually makes… I don't

652
00:31:56,449 --> 00:32:00,879
know if it actually makes them look more
like the real person or not, truth be told

653
00:32:01,126 --> 00:32:02,266
We, need a photo next to them.

654
00:32:02,326 --> 00:32:05,036
I think it makes it look
better though, I will say that.

655
00:32:05,047 --> 00:32:06,607
I don't know who this
is though, truth be told

656
00:32:07,066 --> 00:32:10,896
but this is a game that has
real people in it though

657
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:15,346
And this article doesn't tell us who
anyone is, so like I don't know, I

658
00:32:15,346 --> 00:32:16,596
can't pull up a real photo of this

659
00:32:16,812 --> 00:32:17,222
Yeah

660
00:32:18,146 --> 00:32:18,796
I'm not really

661
00:32:18,849 --> 00:32:21,269
Detr- he's number eight
on the dis- Detroit

662
00:32:22,269 --> 00:32:26,949
Uh, NB-- NBA I, uh, you know what?

663
00:32:27,009 --> 00:32:28,129
I'm not gonna bother anymore.

664
00:32:28,265 --> 00:32:28,875
no, yeah

665
00:32:29,739 --> 00:32:31,439
Okay, so bas- so

666
00:32:32,065 --> 00:32:32,385
Wait

667
00:32:32,439 --> 00:32:35,789
on the topic of DLSS though, let's
talk about this account that's

668
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:38,029
been posting crazy DLSS memes

669
00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:42,059
Okay, well he doesn't even look
like any of the characters.

670
00:32:42,089 --> 00:32:42,469
Okay.

671
00:32:42,529 --> 00:32:43,279
Sorry, I looked it up.

672
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:46,839
I'm like, this is… He has three
different photos and he all looks

673
00:32:46,839 --> 00:32:47,939
different in every single one

674
00:32:49,497 --> 00:32:50,107
Look at this.

675
00:32:50,147 --> 00:32:51,897
Take a, take a wild
guess what game this is

676
00:32:53,612 --> 00:32:56,142
My God, nightmare fuel simulator.

677
00:32:58,767 --> 00:33:00,567
Take a wild guess as to what game this is

678
00:33:00,983 --> 00:33:03,473
I have no clue, but is this DLSS 5 on it?

679
00:33:04,175 --> 00:33:04,575
Yes.

680
00:33:04,615 --> 00:33:06,605
It's like multiple layers of DLSS 5

681
00:33:06,763 --> 00:33:07,523
Is it though?

682
00:33:07,533 --> 00:33:08,903
Or are people just lying?

683
00:33:08,903 --> 00:33:12,643
'Cause I've read recently that
people have been like fictitiously…

684
00:33:12,653 --> 00:33:16,843
Like a lot of the DLSS 5 stuff
you see is actually like fake

685
00:33:18,509 --> 00:33:22,289
Well, I mean, it's not r- they're running
it through OBS, so it's not like you

686
00:33:22,289 --> 00:33:23,969
can even inject it in the game itself.

687
00:33:24,845 --> 00:33:25,245
Right.

688
00:33:25,659 --> 00:33:27,009
But this is just for shits and giggles.

689
00:33:27,019 --> 00:33:27,589
Look at this.

690
00:33:33,835 --> 00:33:34,225
All right.

691
00:33:36,135 --> 00:33:37,475
This is Danganronpa.

692
00:33:37,475 --> 00:33:42,205
This is, so Gardner, have you res-
have you ever heard of Danganronpa?

693
00:33:42,780 --> 00:33:43,180
Nope

694
00:33:44,341 --> 00:33:46,011
Mm-hmm.

695
00:33:46,411 --> 00:33:48,001
This is what the game looks like.

696
00:33:49,111 --> 00:33:52,891
It's like stylized anime, we just

697
00:33:53,015 --> 00:33:54,345
Oh yeah, it's this one.

698
00:33:54,775 --> 00:33:57,085
There's a bunch of s- bunch of
high schoolers that kill each other

699
00:33:58,085 --> 00:33:58,405
Yeah

700
00:33:58,405 --> 00:33:59,395
Did, did, did

701
00:34:03,159 --> 00:34:03,369
Dude.

702
00:34:04,689 --> 00:34:07,209
Okay, this is not a very
realistic showcase of DLSS.

703
00:34:07,239 --> 00:34:07,359
I

704
00:34:07,653 --> 00:34:09,213
This isn't DLSS 5.

705
00:34:09,223 --> 00:34:14,833
This is them maybe, maybe if they use DLSS
5, this is like heavily like modified.

706
00:34:15,946 --> 00:34:16,296
Yeah

707
00:34:16,383 --> 00:34:16,743
it's funny.

708
00:34:16,753 --> 00:34:17,073
Like it,

709
00:34:17,099 --> 00:34:18,509
show it off 'cause it's hilarious

710
00:34:18,613 --> 00:34:19,433
it is hilarious.

711
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:20,183
It is funny.

712
00:34:20,403 --> 00:34:24,293
I only put prefaces because I
don't want people to believe some

713
00:34:24,293 --> 00:34:25,433
of the lies that are going on.

714
00:34:25,433 --> 00:34:27,153
I want people to understand
that like they're…

715
00:34:27,213 --> 00:34:31,923
Like this is fun and all, but… A-
and it is funny, and when you have

716
00:34:31,923 --> 00:34:34,733
like this is what if you go out of
control with DLSS 5, this is what it can

717
00:34:34,733 --> 00:34:36,193
create, which is just nightmare fuel.

718
00:34:36,743 --> 00:34:40,153
But it, it, there is
different layers to this story

719
00:34:40,425 --> 00:34:40,975
Yes.

720
00:34:42,455 --> 00:34:45,345
you wouldn't want customers to
be dis- misled now, would you?

721
00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:47,211
Yes, I would

722
00:34:49,065 --> 00:34:53,185
Sony argues that reasonable customers
wouldn't be misled into believing

723
00:34:53,185 --> 00:34:56,725
they own digital games, and that's
their, that's their defense.

724
00:34:56,745 --> 00:35:00,425
It's a very, uh, the glove
doesn't fit, uh, defense

725
00:35:01,859 --> 00:35:06,859
Yeah, get a 100 people to go
up and testify and you'll see

726
00:35:07,859 --> 00:35:09,929
Like 99% of, if not 100% of them

727
00:35:10,712 --> 00:35:12,042
Oh, exactly.

728
00:35:12,052 --> 00:35:14,062
They're, you, you can't… Like,
if they're gonna use that as

729
00:35:14,062 --> 00:35:18,242
their defense, then they need to,
then you, like, that's so stupid.

730
00:35:18,922 --> 00:35:23,372
Like, if, if that, that's their
defense, then the, um, then

731
00:35:23,382 --> 00:35:24,592
we gotta… I, I don't know.

732
00:35:24,592 --> 00:35:26,432
Like, that's such an
easy thing to disprove.

733
00:35:26,872 --> 00:35:28,932
You just can't say, "Oh,
it's reasonable." Okay.

734
00:35:29,932 --> 00:35:31,182
Sorry, I just, ugh

735
00:35:31,585 --> 00:35:33,165
Spending money on shit you don't own.

736
00:35:35,319 --> 00:35:35,539
Dude,

737
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:35,984
I'm

738
00:35:36,029 --> 00:35:37,309
dude, that's what I love

739
00:35:38,574 --> 00:35:42,214
Uh, I mean, I don't mind renting
stuff, but bring back Blockbuster then

740
00:35:42,973 --> 00:35:43,253
Yeah.

741
00:35:44,253 --> 00:35:49,833
Like even, okay, even Blockbuster, that…
I mean, I loved, I loved Blockbuster.

742
00:35:49,863 --> 00:35:51,503
That shit was awesome actually.

743
00:35:52,233 --> 00:35:53,913
But that was physical still, right?

744
00:35:53,913 --> 00:36:00,603
Like digital, like, I mean, it sounds
like kind of, um, black and white

745
00:36:00,603 --> 00:36:04,513
thinking for me to say it, but I
genuinely think like free software

746
00:36:04,513 --> 00:36:11,003
or bust in almost every instance
because software is just too easily

747
00:36:11,233 --> 00:36:15,513
manipulated to like people off, I find.

748
00:36:17,263 --> 00:36:17,363
I don't know.

749
00:36:18,363 --> 00:36:22,003
Um, I mean, I'm not sure if I
follow necessarily Gardner, but

750
00:36:23,003 --> 00:36:28,023
Yeah, I mean, uh, what- whatever
the case is, Sony is in the wrong.

751
00:36:28,043 --> 00:36:29,793
I don't know how they, I don't
know how they can actually

752
00:36:29,793 --> 00:36:31,253
defend this position though.

753
00:36:31,263 --> 00:36:34,073
That, that's another thing that
really baffles me about this

754
00:36:35,073 --> 00:36:35,553
Yeah

755
00:36:35,597 --> 00:36:37,307
says buy and purchase.

756
00:36:38,967 --> 00:36:41,237
Like, you're not telling them that, you
don't, I don't even think you're telling

757
00:36:41,237 --> 00:36:42,507
them that you're buying a license.

758
00:36:42,527 --> 00:36:45,827
Like, at least Steam now when you,
like, buy a game on Steam, it tells

759
00:36:45,827 --> 00:36:47,377
you you're buying a digital license.

760
00:36:47,577 --> 00:36:49,187
I don't think Sony's implemented that yet

761
00:36:50,187 --> 00:36:53,287
A digital license, like
f- in what, in what way?

762
00:36:54,077 --> 00:36:58,087
like, on the s- on the checkout screen
for Steam, it explicitly says you are

763
00:36:58,087 --> 00:37:04,157
buying a digital license to a game, not
necessarily, like, buying the game itself

764
00:37:04,785 --> 00:37:08,165
Yeah, buying a digital license need
is, needs to have power behind it

765
00:37:08,165 --> 00:37:14,605
though, because buying a digital
license, um, I don't know, that

766
00:37:14,605 --> 00:37:18,385
should, uh, mean that, like, I have
a license to always use this game.

767
00:37:19,425 --> 00:37:23,255
So if Steam goes under, they either
need to provide a way for me to get

768
00:37:23,255 --> 00:37:25,425
the game or I can pirate it legally

769
00:37:26,781 --> 00:37:29,891
Well, if I'm not mistaken, they,
they did say something though,

770
00:37:29,921 --> 00:37:31,861
albeit it was over a decade ago.

771
00:37:31,861 --> 00:37:34,891
They, that, that was the last time they
said anything about what would happen if

772
00:37:34,891 --> 00:37:37,661
Steam were to hypothetically go under.

773
00:37:38,661 --> 00:37:42,721
Yeah, I mean, you, you gotta be
ready in case something happens.

774
00:37:42,731 --> 00:37:43,571
You never know.

775
00:37:43,991 --> 00:37:48,041
And, uh, even if they say that you
can't do it that way, if you back up

776
00:37:48,041 --> 00:37:54,141
your games from Steam, uh, at one point
if not already, you could potentially

777
00:37:54,141 --> 00:37:55,471
crack them and just play them.

778
00:37:55,471 --> 00:38:00,241
I'm not, I'm not
advocating for, um, piracy.

779
00:38:00,241 --> 00:38:02,891
I'm advocating for
playing the games you buy.

780
00:38:04,121 --> 00:38:10,371
Um, and I, I, I really think it's
silly to say, uh, it any other way.

781
00:38:10,411 --> 00:38:11,751
Like, play s- like, I get it, though.

782
00:38:11,911 --> 00:38:15,581
Like, if you buy something on the
digital market, and in 100 years

783
00:38:16,721 --> 00:38:21,041
they still have to have it up and
running, like, that does occur costs

784
00:38:21,041 --> 00:38:22,201
and all that, and if you pass it on.

785
00:38:22,601 --> 00:38:30,701
But this is just, I think, further proves
we need a much better, um, way of handling

786
00:38:30,731 --> 00:38:32,741
everything for d- digital ownership.

787
00:38:32,741 --> 00:38:36,591
We really gotta sit down, create
some tech, create s- or whatever it

788
00:38:36,591 --> 00:38:41,631
is, some legislation that actually
helps with digital ownership.

789
00:38:41,761 --> 00:38:44,421
And this is just them kicking it down
the road and just saying that we're,

790
00:38:44,681 --> 00:38:47,531
um, idiots for, uh, for wanting it

791
00:38:48,531 --> 00:38:48,831
Blockchain

792
00:38:49,831 --> 00:38:50,211
What, what?

793
00:38:50,627 --> 00:38:53,507
I mean, you laugh at it, but
that's technically what blockchain

794
00:38:53,507 --> 00:38:56,447
is for, is for minting, uh…

795
00:38:57,607 --> 00:38:57,817
Like

796
00:38:57,847 --> 00:38:59,337
It, could actually be, yeah.

797
00:38:59,687 --> 00:39:01,367
It could actually be used for this.

798
00:39:02,212 --> 00:39:02,592
Yeah

799
00:39:03,397 --> 00:39:03,867
You'll laugh,

800
00:39:04,061 --> 00:39:04,211
It

801
00:39:04,357 --> 00:39:04,567
like

802
00:39:04,691 --> 00:39:04,771
on

803
00:39:04,857 --> 00:39:07,027
you're… It could

804
00:39:07,141 --> 00:39:08,171
sense on the face of it.

805
00:39:08,181 --> 00:39:11,621
The problem though is that even
with the blockchain, it's still

806
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:15,001
under, it's still up to the guys
that are running the system, no?

807
00:39:15,737 --> 00:39:16,407
Yes and no.

808
00:39:16,407 --> 00:39:21,067
You have governances that will allow
for a more, uh, think of it as more

809
00:39:21,067 --> 00:39:24,577
like an open source kind of style
where they've, everyone votes on it.

810
00:39:24,577 --> 00:39:30,557
So if you have… I- I- I- 'Cause th-
there are, there are like, um, collectives

811
00:39:30,577 --> 00:39:36,047
where depending on how many ownerships
you have in the chain, you have votes

812
00:39:36,047 --> 00:39:41,007
on and you can vote for changes, um,
and improvements and stuff like that.

813
00:39:41,047 --> 00:39:45,177
That's technically how my, uh, work
works right now, is that in order to

814
00:39:45,177 --> 00:39:48,647
make any changes that would affect
anyone that's on the system that's

815
00:39:48,657 --> 00:39:50,647
being backed, you have to vote on it.

816
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:55,487
Um, but yeah, at the end of
the day, it doesn't mean those

817
00:39:55,487 --> 00:39:56,507
systems can't be corrupted.

818
00:39:56,837 --> 00:39:59,587
But it's better than w- than
just having Sony say, "Yeah,

819
00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:02,137
well, you don't own anything."

820
00:40:03,797 --> 00:40:07,657
Um, we could do a blockchain,
uh, ownership license system,

821
00:40:07,657 --> 00:40:12,227
but that would require, uh, the
big companies working together on

822
00:40:12,227 --> 00:40:13,427
that, and that's not gonna happen.

823
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:16,607
You'd have to, you'd have to
force it from a governmental side

824
00:40:17,607 --> 00:40:24,337
So I think the easier first step
is like anytime you've spent money

825
00:40:24,357 --> 00:40:30,437
on buying the game or license, um,
that didn't ever say rental, you own

826
00:40:30,437 --> 00:40:34,467
that game forever and access to it.

827
00:40:35,587 --> 00:40:41,587
Um, I don't know if it's, uh… I- the,
the hard part is once you get into like,

828
00:40:41,607 --> 00:40:44,807
"Oh, could you pass it on if you die?"
Whatever, that gets into a little harder.

829
00:40:44,807 --> 00:40:47,957
It's like how do you prove ownership
unless you have receipts, which

830
00:40:48,057 --> 00:40:49,417
some people might, and that's fine.

831
00:40:50,587 --> 00:40:54,147
It requires, uh, uh… There, there…
Like I said, there's a lot of like

832
00:40:54,657 --> 00:40:58,167
convoluted portions of this that
I don't think people think through

833
00:40:58,487 --> 00:41:05,847
that need to be solved before you
could fully run that, um, as being

834
00:41:05,847 --> 00:41:06,997
the way we were gonna do things.

835
00:41:06,997 --> 00:41:09,077
But yeah.

836
00:41:10,207 --> 00:41:11,067
I'll stop rambling.

837
00:41:11,777 --> 00:41:18,067
This is very anno- I just think it's very
annoying 'cause I really don't like this

838
00:41:18,097 --> 00:41:19,627
blanketed, "Yeah, well, it's reasonable.

839
00:41:19,747 --> 00:41:23,567
It's, it's common sense." It's the,
it's the thing a lot of s- people use

840
00:41:23,597 --> 00:41:27,247
to try to say, "Hey, I don't wanna
actually come up with a defense for this.

841
00:41:27,257 --> 00:41:28,017
It's just reasonable.

842
00:41:28,017 --> 00:41:29,017
It's common sense."

843
00:41:30,610 --> 00:41:30,920
Yeah.

844
00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:33,090
Dude.

845
00:41:34,315 --> 00:41:34,795
Dude

846
00:41:34,820 --> 00:41:38,630
like, oh yeah, it's reasonable,
even though we've literally

847
00:41:38,690 --> 00:41:43,260
been training people to not have
that reasonable expectation.

848
00:41:44,060 --> 00:41:47,400
Like, it's literally the opposite
of what they're doing, and they're,

849
00:41:47,420 --> 00:41:49,880
they're pretending like it's not.

850
00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:55,230
It's like, go to hell I genuinely
hope that hell is a real place

851
00:41:55,690 --> 00:42:01,370
where CEOs will go when they
die and they suffer for eternity

852
00:42:01,701 --> 00:42:02,491
partner, aren't you the

853
00:42:02,559 --> 00:42:02,579
a sl-

854
00:42:03,101 --> 00:42:04,901
s- aren't, aren't you
the CEO of your company?

855
00:42:06,328 --> 00:42:07,808
I am the president of my company.

856
00:42:07,808 --> 00:42:08,628
That is different.

857
00:42:09,093 --> 00:42:09,883
Is there a difference?

858
00:42:09,883 --> 00:42:10,453
I don't know

859
00:42:13,513 --> 00:42:17,243
Yeah, so this is the official court
document in which Sony says that

860
00:42:17,243 --> 00:42:25,523
exact same quote where no reasonable
customer Or consumer there It, they

861
00:42:25,523 --> 00:42:28,833
failed to plausibly allege that
reasonable consumers would be misled.

862
00:42:28,833 --> 00:42:33,833
So yeah, they, that's actually their,
that's their actual defense So, like,

863
00:42:33,833 --> 00:42:39,453
I'm, I'm curious as to how Sony's
lawyers can spin this because I'm,

864
00:42:39,513 --> 00:42:43,243
I might, I'm, maybe I'm just not,
maybe I'm just not a law student.

865
00:42:43,303 --> 00:42:46,633
I'm curious as to how they could
even, like, spin something like this

866
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:51,908
Well, they probably have, like,
completely ignorant judges, or that's

867
00:42:51,908 --> 00:42:55,818
what they're banking on, is, like,
judges that don't know jack shit about

868
00:42:57,607 --> 00:43:00,987
I feel like, like I said, the prosecution
could just come up and like, "Here's 100

869
00:43:01,017 --> 00:43:06,077
people that are… We can show the records
that they're big time, uh, Sony fans,"

870
00:43:06,147 --> 00:43:12,067
and then ask them point blank, you know,
essentially verbatim what they gave.

871
00:43:12,767 --> 00:43:13,167
I don't know.

872
00:43:13,167 --> 00:43:15,107
I think that's the way to destroy it

873
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:19,109
not even just Sony fans,
but like, in general.

874
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:22,139
How would you feel if someone said
you paid and you pre- and you bought

875
00:43:22,139 --> 00:43:25,639
something only for it to actually not be
bought and you weren't made aware of it?

876
00:43:26,619 --> 00:43:30,569
That's fine, but for like the def-
like for this, because they say

877
00:43:30,569 --> 00:43:33,479
reasonable consumers would need to
be l- you'd have to make sure they're

878
00:43:33,819 --> 00:43:35,989
the consumers that they're hinting at.

879
00:43:36,029 --> 00:43:37,409
But you're not wrong.

880
00:43:37,549 --> 00:43:38,789
Like, we could also go that route.

881
00:43:38,789 --> 00:43:42,169
I just think it'd be stronger
if you grabbed Sony p- uh,

882
00:43:42,199 --> 00:43:43,709
customers and asked them

883
00:43:44,709 --> 00:43:44,999
Yeah.

884
00:43:46,969 --> 00:43:47,149
Ugh.

885
00:43:48,419 --> 00:43:52,459
I… We'll see where this leads, because
right now it doesn't really affect much

886
00:43:52,459 --> 00:43:57,499
of what we have, but in like 20 years
they'll just, like if you buy something

887
00:43:57,519 --> 00:44:00,629
on PS5 and they just were like, "Oh,
we wanna re-release this," like, "Oh,

888
00:44:00,629 --> 00:44:03,029
we're s- closing down the PS5 store.

889
00:44:04,069 --> 00:44:07,109
So if you wanna own it, you have
to buy it on the next system."

890
00:44:07,859 --> 00:44:10,469
It's what it feels like, that they
just wanna keep on reselling it

891
00:44:11,847 --> 00:44:16,117
Well, hey, if you wanna buy something
that lasts, you could buy this.

892
00:44:16,897 --> 00:44:23,717
a rare physical copy of a PC game, in
this case, the Final Fantasy VII trilogy,

893
00:44:24,257 --> 00:44:32,107
the, uh, remake trilogy, I mean And
it's all available for 777,777, uh,

894
00:44:32,477 --> 00:44:34,787
Japanese yen, or about like 500 bucks.

895
00:44:36,717 --> 00:44:38,437
And it's for all three games.

896
00:44:38,527 --> 00:44:39,697
The, uh, what was it?

897
00:44:39,697 --> 00:44:44,827
Final Fantasy VII Remake, Fantasy
VII Rebirth, and the last one that's

898
00:44:44,827 --> 00:44:49,677
coming out soon, Final Fantasy VII
Revelations It even comes with discs

899
00:44:49,677 --> 00:44:52,677
on a plaque too Which is pretty cool

900
00:44:53,251 --> 00:44:55,121
This is what I've been waiting
for so I can play through the new

901
00:44:55,121 --> 00:44:58,321
Final Fantasy VII remake now that
they're, it's gonna be complete.

902
00:44:58,901 --> 00:45:00,581
This is cool.

903
00:45:00,581 --> 00:45:01,121
This is really cool.

904
00:45:01,141 --> 00:45:03,871
Really expensive though,
but it's rare, which sucks

905
00:45:05,063 --> 00:45:08,273
It's 500… Well, what I'm saying
it's, it's, it's a, it's something rare

906
00:45:08,487 --> 00:45:09,717
it's a rare move.

907
00:45:09,867 --> 00:45:10,587
Okay.

908
00:45:10,607 --> 00:45:13,597
So it's something I could… Well,
it, but it's Japanese, right?

909
00:45:13,747 --> 00:45:14,707
Not English

910
00:45:15,049 --> 00:45:16,739
It's Ja- so right now it's Japan only.

911
00:45:16,949 --> 00:45:19,789
I don't know if they're gonna release
anything like this on p- on, uh, in the

912
00:45:19,789 --> 00:45:24,289
West, but the fact that they're doing
this at all in Japan of all places is

913
00:45:24,695 --> 00:45:28,695
Well, I mean, uh, J- I thought Japan was,
like, infamous for doing stuff like this.

914
00:45:29,595 --> 00:45:34,815
Maybe not PC-wise, but they're infamous
for making, uh, collector's stuff and

915
00:45:34,815 --> 00:45:36,825
everything, but maybe not PC-wise though

916
00:45:37,135 --> 00:45:37,315
Well

917
00:45:37,405 --> 00:45:41,745
I was talking more about like PC
stuff, 'cause like it's very rare

918
00:45:41,745 --> 00:45:45,085
that you see collector's editions
for PC versions of games, right?

919
00:45:46,415 --> 00:45:49,085
Like almost always they're
like console versions of like

920
00:45:49,085 --> 00:45:50,435
collector's edition goodies

921
00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:54,460
Yeah, I can't think of the last
time I saw a PC collector edition.

922
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,100
Does it even come with a copy of
the game, or is it like a redeemable

923
00:46:00,751 --> 00:46:04,771
Um, well, it comes with discs.

924
00:46:05,251 --> 00:46:08,231
Uh, but I don't know how that would
exactly work either, truth be told.

925
00:46:10,081 --> 00:46:14,901
So let's  see It comes with…
It's a downloadable version.

926
00:46:14,921 --> 00:46:18,211
Okay, so I guess the discs are just,
like, for show or some bullcrap like that.

927
00:46:18,211 --> 00:46:18,501
I don't know

928
00:46:19,501 --> 00:46:19,511
Oh.

929
00:46:20,381 --> 00:46:23,331
The discs are behind plexiglass,
is that what it looked like?

930
00:46:24,331 --> 00:46:25,501
Yeah, there's, it's showcasing.

931
00:46:25,511 --> 00:46:26,021
It's awesome.

932
00:46:26,021 --> 00:46:28,751
It's, they're little plaques that you can
put up on the wall and showcase it like,

933
00:46:28,792 --> 00:46:29,032
Yeah

934
00:46:29,221 --> 00:46:31,801
"This is the last PC
game ever made on disc."

935
00:46:32,801 --> 00:46:33,921
Wow, that's funny

936
00:46:34,532 --> 00:46:36,552
I mean, it might be actually.

937
00:46:37,552 --> 00:46:38,052
I don't know.

938
00:46:38,082 --> 00:46:43,832
Can you… I don't know if I've been to a
store where you can buy a PC game on disc.

939
00:46:43,845 --> 00:46:44,705
quite some time

940
00:46:45,502 --> 00:46:47,282
Have you, have you guys seen anything

941
00:46:48,277 --> 00:46:48,457
No.

942
00:46:49,646 --> 00:46:51,256
GameStop, no for sure.

943
00:46:51,726 --> 00:46:52,866
Huh, what's that?

944
00:46:53,537 --> 00:46:54,267
goodwill.

945
00:46:55,267 --> 00:46:55,537
Oh, shoot.

946
00:46:56,702 --> 00:46:58,077
We just lost, uh…

947
00:46:58,752 --> 00:46:59,732
We just lost High Tech

948
00:46:59,907 --> 00:47:01,617
Oh, that's gonna make editing so much fun.

949
00:47:01,717 --> 00:47:01,967
Yeah.

950
00:47:03,067 --> 00:47:03,457
Yeah.

951
00:47:03,547 --> 00:47:08,687
Hopefully, uh, tr- like, it
is, uh, blue screen of death.

952
00:47:08,717 --> 00:47:10,637
Ooh, so he's coming, he's coming back.

953
00:47:11,247 --> 00:47:12,157
We can keep talking though.

954
00:47:12,207 --> 00:47:12,887
No, dude.

955
00:47:12,967 --> 00:47:13,917
Dude, okay, wait.

956
00:47:13,937 --> 00:47:15,517
So he had a blue screen of death.

957
00:47:15,897 --> 00:47:21,897
I, dude, man, there was like a period
of time, like a y- two years ago

958
00:47:21,897 --> 00:47:27,837
maybe, when like I was getting a blue
screen of death every week on Windows.

959
00:47:28,737 --> 00:47:32,227
I was using Windows 11, I would
even, I wouldn't even use Windows

960
00:47:32,227 --> 00:47:35,957
that often, but any time I booted
into Windows, at least once a week I

961
00:47:35,957 --> 00:47:37,447
got a, I got a blue screen of death.

962
00:47:38,786 --> 00:47:41,016
Yeah, that was… Yeah, he's joining back.

963
00:47:41,436 --> 00:47:42,076
Same.

964
00:47:43,656 --> 00:47:45,426
Honestly, that's why I
don't use Windows 11 now.

965
00:47:45,546 --> 00:47:46,046
Hey, man

966
00:47:47,332 --> 00:47:48,159
That was awkward

967
00:47:49,212 --> 00:47:52,602
Yeah, well, use Windows 11, you find out

968
00:47:53,987 --> 00:47:55,067
Mm. Oh, no.

969
00:47:55,067 --> 00:47:57,567
I have to pull up all the
topics and stuff again

970
00:47:58,567 --> 00:47:58,987
It's okay.

971
00:47:59,048 --> 00:47:59,418
a second.

972
00:48:00,027 --> 00:48:03,777
We can, talk about blue screens of
death, uh, and how fun they are.

973
00:48:03,796 --> 00:48:04,116
ages.

974
00:48:05,707 --> 00:48:10,263
The thing is, I don't… Like, as a
power user, Li- I've had Linux freeze

975
00:48:10,263 --> 00:48:14,633
on me, I've had macOS freeze on me,
but it's very… It's usually when I'm

976
00:48:14,633 --> 00:48:20,683
pushing them hard or some software's
not pr- done quite right and it can

977
00:48:20,683 --> 00:48:22,773
hang things up to where I'm like, "Okay,
I don't know what's going on here."

978
00:48:23,742 --> 00:48:24,912
Windows 11, man

979
00:48:25,601 --> 00:48:26,891
Yeah, Windows 11.

980
00:48:27,291 --> 00:48:28,911
I need to switch to Linux soon.

981
00:48:30,242 --> 00:48:34,512
The problem i- the problem with, uh,
like the thing is, it's we're so close.

982
00:48:34,552 --> 00:48:36,412
We're so close, and Microsoft can feel it.

983
00:48:36,842 --> 00:48:39,712
I just feel like that's what it… Like,
that's why they're making changes now.

984
00:48:39,772 --> 00:48:43,912
But I'm like, "Dude, you guys should've
made changes four years ago," uh, or soon.

985
00:48:43,912 --> 00:48:44,302
I don't know.

986
00:48:45,232 --> 00:48:49,752
But some games still need
to be played on Windows,

987
00:48:50,925 --> 00:48:51,245
Yeah

988
00:48:51,362 --> 00:48:52,382
some software.

989
00:48:52,382 --> 00:48:56,882
Like, game development still is better,
in my opinion, on Windows, 'cause

990
00:48:56,882 --> 00:48:58,112
that's where most of it happens.

991
00:48:58,112 --> 00:49:01,712
But it, but it's get- it's we're so
close to where it's just it works

992
00:49:01,712 --> 00:49:04,222
everywhere, like, in a really good way

993
00:49:05,917 --> 00:49:07,607
I'm, sharing my information with you.

994
00:49:07,607 --> 00:49:09,097
We can resume the show.

995
00:49:10,676 --> 00:49:11,076
We've been,

996
00:49:11,187 --> 00:49:11,347
keep

997
00:49:11,466 --> 00:49:13,096
we're, ke- we're keeping
this all in, yeah.

998
00:49:13,676 --> 00:49:18,346
We're, this is the showcase how bad Win-
We, we, we have an injected bonus topic

999
00:49:18,386 --> 00:49:21,036
in the main episode on how bad Windows is

1000
00:49:22,036 --> 00:49:25,246
Uh, speaking of Microsoft
though, have you guys seen this?

1001
00:49:26,246 --> 00:49:27,466
Oh my gosh, yes.

1002
00:49:28,827 --> 00:49:29,527
Yeah

1003
00:49:29,926 --> 00:49:30,416
about this.

1004
00:49:30,426 --> 00:49:32,436
It is, it's really irritating.

1005
00:49:33,416 --> 00:49:33,886
Now for those

1006
00:49:33,916 --> 00:49:33,946
And-

1007
00:49:34,246 --> 00:49:37,626
are, like, listening to the audio
feed, uh, essentially Game Pass,

1008
00:49:37,666 --> 00:49:42,656
Xbox Game Pass changed their terms,
namely how long you can play.

1009
00:49:42,666 --> 00:49:45,306
It used to be that you could
just play theoretically forever.

1010
00:49:46,256 --> 00:49:47,006
you can't

1011
00:49:48,355 --> 00:49:51,615
I get having har- like, they
should have some soft limits

1012
00:49:51,615 --> 00:49:53,055
and hard limits, I get that.

1013
00:49:53,475 --> 00:49:55,975
But like, this is criminal.

1014
00:49:56,525 --> 00:49:57,055
The,

1015
00:49:57,062 --> 00:49:57,322
Yeah

1016
00:49:57,575 --> 00:50:01,345
And this will probably ki- like,
they want cloud gaming to be a big

1017
00:50:01,355 --> 00:50:02,695
thing, at least I thought they did.

1018
00:50:03,255 --> 00:50:04,405
This will probably kill it

1019
00:50:05,962 --> 00:50:06,252
Well, they'd

1020
00:50:06,315 --> 00:50:06,715
for them

1021
00:50:07,032 --> 00:50:11,022
the entirety of gaming so that they can
have their precious little AI, uh, profits

1022
00:50:12,397 --> 00:50:15,427
No, Microsoft is making…
Like, they have really screwed

1023
00:50:15,427 --> 00:50:16,937
themselves over, I think, on AI.

1024
00:50:17,367 --> 00:50:20,857
So I think that's why they have to do
some of these things, is that they're…

1025
00:50:21,247 --> 00:50:25,257
That's why they're, uh… Honestly,
I think that's one of the big reasons

1026
00:50:25,257 --> 00:50:29,347
why some of the game studios were, um,
slimmed down and everything like that.

1027
00:50:29,347 --> 00:50:32,437
They're slimming a lot of areas
because they've bet so heavily on AI.

1028
00:50:32,457 --> 00:50:37,907
This is consequences of the, uh, the
way they bet on AI, is that their

1029
00:50:38,067 --> 00:50:39,357
capital's running out a little bit

1030
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:40,760
Right.

1031
00:50:40,780 --> 00:50:43,550
So, the, uh, so I, we
still have to explain this.

1032
00:50:43,550 --> 00:50:49,060
So Game Pass Essential, you only
get five hours of gameplay a month.

1033
00:50:49,740 --> 00:50:50,230
Game Pass

1034
00:50:50,457 --> 00:50:50,567
X

1035
00:50:51,030 --> 00:50:53,350
10 hours of gameplay a month.

1036
00:50:54,100 --> 00:50:57,020
Pass Ultimate, hours a month.

1037
00:50:57,340 --> 00:51:02,120
To put that into perspective, let's
take your average 30 mon- 30 day, uh,

1038
00:51:02,170 --> 00:51:06,700
month, if you play, if, and you can
only play for, like, 30 minutes a day.

1039
00:51:08,290 --> 00:51:10,540
That's not enough time for
me to even get situated

1040
00:51:11,203 --> 00:51:12,863
That most, there's a lot of games.

1041
00:51:12,863 --> 00:51:16,103
I wouldn't say most, but the prob- prob-
maybe most games you wouldn't be able to

1042
00:51:16,113 --> 00:51:20,023
really beat in at least a 10-hour window.

1043
00:51:21,094 --> 00:51:21,504
I agree

1044
00:51:22,043 --> 00:51:22,613
So

1045
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:24,590
I like,

1046
00:51:25,465 --> 00:51:26,235
What's the point of this?

1047
00:51:26,245 --> 00:51:26,785
Why?

1048
00:51:26,845 --> 00:51:30,115
But then again, this is cl- once
again, guys, this is cloud gaming,

1049
00:51:30,115 --> 00:51:31,605
so it's a little different.

1050
00:51:31,615 --> 00:51:35,745
It's not like it's every game
that you get with the Game Pass.

1051
00:51:36,425 --> 00:51:37,855
But holy crap, man.

1052
00:51:37,875 --> 00:51:42,235
They must be gearing up to, like, release
their own cloud gaming service that's

1053
00:51:42,245 --> 00:51:46,185
beyond Game Pass, but I don't know

1054
00:51:46,336 --> 00:51:51,566
didn't they say like this, they're like,
"Oh, this is only going to affect like 10%

1055
00:51:51,606 --> 00:51:58,236
or like 4% or something of like the users
that are, are currently playing Xbox?"

1056
00:51:58,442 --> 00:51:58,682
That's

1057
00:51:58,731 --> 00:52:00,841
only gonna impact the people
that are actually using it.

1058
00:52:01,001 --> 00:52:02,831
I don't know if most people use the cloud.

1059
00:52:02,871 --> 00:52:06,241
Like, and someone might say that
on the podcast, like comments.

1060
00:52:06,281 --> 00:52:07,931
You might mention that you use it a lot.

1061
00:52:08,151 --> 00:52:09,431
You're probably part of the 4%.

1062
00:52:10,534 --> 00:52:10,804
Yeah.

1063
00:52:11,684 --> 00:52:12,194
And, and--

1064
00:52:12,342 --> 00:52:12,862
my thing.

1065
00:52:13,022 --> 00:52:13,282
Oh,

1066
00:52:13,604 --> 00:52:14,054
No, go ahead.

1067
00:52:14,054 --> 00:52:14,084
Go ahead, Ayte

1068
00:52:14,762 --> 00:52:17,852
Well, I was gonna say that, you know,
regardless of how many people this

1069
00:52:17,862 --> 00:52:21,872
actually affects, I think the idea of
a game company telling you how much,

1070
00:52:22,452 --> 00:52:26,062
how much you can actually play irks me
just, it just irks me in the wrong way.

1071
00:52:26,132 --> 00:52:27,472
You know, same thing with Nvidia.

1072
00:52:27,952 --> 00:52:31,732
They give you, like, 100 hours,
which is certainly a lot more, but

1073
00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:34,592
I don't like the idea of Nvidia or
Microsoft for this matter telling

1074
00:52:34,592 --> 00:52:36,982
me how often I can play video games.

1075
00:52:37,172 --> 00:52:38,212
I paid for the thing

1076
00:52:38,715 --> 00:52:41,975
Yeah, but this is, you can th- okay,
this is one of those parts where it

1077
00:52:41,975 --> 00:52:46,415
makes sense 'cause, and this is why I
say, like, limits and all that, there

1078
00:52:46,415 --> 00:52:47,815
sh- needs to be probably hard and soft.

1079
00:52:48,455 --> 00:52:53,685
Um, it makes sense here though, 'cause
computing, like right now computing is

1080
00:52:53,725 --> 00:52:59,535
not free and especially when AI needs this
compute so much more than these games do.

1081
00:52:59,635 --> 00:53:01,985
No, uh, I'm, I'm joking a
little bit more on that.

1082
00:53:01,985 --> 00:53:04,645
But it's, it does cost money to run these.

1083
00:53:04,645 --> 00:53:08,655
Like, so if you have someone running
400, let's say, like, I don't know how

1084
00:53:08,655 --> 00:53:13,295
many hours, like as- the max amount of
hours they can on these services, it

1085
00:53:13,295 --> 00:53:18,835
does cost a lot of money and, and it eats
way past their profitability probably.

1086
00:53:19,145 --> 00:53:25,075
So I get that, but 100 hours seems,
I think, reasonable enough 'cause

1087
00:53:25,075 --> 00:53:29,575
at that point just buy your f-
just buy your s- uh, system guy.

1088
00:53:29,775 --> 00:53:29,995
He's…

1089
00:53:30,182 --> 00:53:30,452
Yeah.

1090
00:53:30,825 --> 00:53:31,505
Just buy it

1091
00:53:31,532 --> 00:53:36,652
See, the thing is, right, like it's,
it does not, uh, like it, yes, it does

1092
00:53:36,652 --> 00:53:42,312
cost Microsoft money to let you play
using their infrastructure, right?

1093
00:53:43,262 --> 00:53:43,832
guess what?

1094
00:53:44,012 --> 00:53:48,552
I have zero sympathy for them on
that because they're choosing to

1095
00:53:48,552 --> 00:53:50,032
build the infrastructure that way,

1096
00:53:50,423 --> 00:53:50,873
Agreed

1097
00:53:50,942 --> 00:53:57,102
going away from the profitable method
of selling hardware to people and

1098
00:53:57,102 --> 00:54:01,512
selling the software to them so that
they can have more control, I don't

1099
00:54:01,512 --> 00:54:04,352
have any sympathy for them saying,
"Oh, well, it costs us money."

1100
00:54:04,352 --> 00:54:07,222
It's like, yeah, no shit, you're
building it that way on purpose.

1101
00:54:08,302 --> 00:54:08,682
I don't know.

1102
00:54:09,081 --> 00:54:11,571
Well, h- no, you're not wrong.

1103
00:54:11,601 --> 00:54:14,311
I think they could build it in a
way where, yeah, unlimited time

1104
00:54:14,311 --> 00:54:16,011
could, like, would make sense.

1105
00:54:16,081 --> 00:54:16,941
I, I think they could.

1106
00:54:16,941 --> 00:54:17,491
I think you're right.

1107
00:54:17,491 --> 00:54:19,611
I just don't, I just don't think-

1108
00:54:19,706 --> 00:54:22,016
that is not to build cloud gaming.

1109
00:54:22,056 --> 00:54:24,446
It's to sell people the hardware

1110
00:54:27,333 --> 00:54:27,353
Yeah.

1111
00:54:27,363 --> 00:54:27,403
No, I agree.

1112
00:54:27,403 --> 00:54:30,153
My, my thing is I can s- I'm not
gonna sympathize much with them, but

1113
00:54:30,163 --> 00:54:33,083
I can understand from a profitability
and from, like, a business side.

1114
00:54:33,643 --> 00:54:37,703
But this is just criminal in the
sense of, like, 50- like, th- th-

1115
00:54:37,773 --> 00:54:38,553
you can't do anything with this.

1116
00:54:38,563 --> 00:54:42,593
They just… They literally, if they
enforce these, and they can say all they

1117
00:54:42,593 --> 00:54:46,183
want that it's gonna impact 4% of the
people, you're gonna impact everyone

1118
00:54:46,653 --> 00:54:51,113
that was using the cloud gaming system,
'cause that's most likely who it was,

1119
00:54:52,013 --> 00:54:54,813
and turn off a bunch of other people,
'cause if they ever hit that limit…

1120
00:54:55,163 --> 00:54:57,223
'Cause who knows how
they got that 4% metric.

1121
00:54:57,223 --> 00:55:00,563
It could've been, like, some people
use it a lot more one month, and

1122
00:55:00,573 --> 00:55:02,563
some people use it not much the next.

1123
00:55:03,643 --> 00:55:06,253
This will affect, and this
will essentially probably kill

1124
00:55:06,253 --> 00:55:08,663
this portion of the product, so

1125
00:55:08,704 --> 00:55:12,634
So now my question is, if you
had Game Pass Essential, what

1126
00:55:12,634 --> 00:55:14,504
could you do for $5 a month?

1127
00:55:14,624 --> 00:55:17,484
I mean, five, uh, hours a month Can you

1128
00:55:17,511 --> 00:55:17,801
You could te-

1129
00:55:18,104 --> 00:55:20,514
can you beat a game with
Game Pass Essential?

1130
00:55:21,021 --> 00:55:22,081
Yes.

1131
00:55:22,491 --> 00:55:24,831
You could beat some of the triple
A games that are coming out now.

1132
00:55:24,981 --> 00:55:25,251
No.

1133
00:55:25,891 --> 00:55:30,441
Uh, um, no, there's a couple of games
you could probably… Like, some

1134
00:55:30,441 --> 00:55:31,721
people don't have a whole lot of time.

1135
00:55:31,721 --> 00:55:34,011
They may wanna jump on and
play a little bit of something.

1136
00:55:34,361 --> 00:55:43,641
I could see them, you know, but I, I don't
know, like five, five hours is so low that

1137
00:55:43,651 --> 00:55:48,411
it is honestly a spit in the face of the
customers that bought it, in my opinion

1138
00:55:48,762 --> 00:55:54,172
that less than even what like, uh, NVIDIA
GeForce NOW offers in their lowest tier?

1139
00:55:54,924 --> 00:55:57,764
Yeah, GeForce Now offers
a, a decent amount of time.

1140
00:55:57,764 --> 00:55:57,784
I mean

1141
00:55:59,855 --> 00:56:01,245
I, I don't know.

1142
00:56:01,265 --> 00:56:03,795
Like, for me, they should have
just not included it in the,

1143
00:56:03,795 --> 00:56:06,535
uh, the, um, base package,

1144
00:56:06,578 --> 00:56:06,838
Yeah.

1145
00:56:07,165 --> 00:56:07,835
the five hours.

1146
00:56:07,835 --> 00:56:10,075
That just means nothing

1147
00:56:10,138 --> 00:56:16,138
they're doing, this is, this is
the absolute, like, like, naked

1148
00:56:16,138 --> 00:56:17,678
example of enshittification, right?

1149
00:56:17,678 --> 00:56:18,078
Because

1150
00:56:18,407 --> 00:56:18,777
Yeah

1151
00:56:18,928 --> 00:56:22,998
offer a service, and then they say, "We're
actually gonna change the terms of the

1152
00:56:22,998 --> 00:56:28,068
service that you're already paying for,"
and then, uh, and it's only affecting 4%.

1153
00:56:28,208 --> 00:56:32,978
Okay, but when they change the terms
again, that 4% of people who were affected

1154
00:56:33,108 --> 00:56:35,558
is going to expand to 10% of the people.

1155
00:56:35,788 --> 00:56:38,748
And then when they change the ter-
the terms of service again, it's going

1156
00:56:38,748 --> 00:56:41,778
to change… It's going to become
20% of the people paying for Game

1157
00:56:41,778 --> 00:56:43,528
Pass, right, who become affected.

1158
00:56:43,788 --> 00:56:48,748
That is the, that is the
methodology of enshittification.

1159
00:56:49,308 --> 00:56:50,208
That's what they do.

1160
00:56:50,308 --> 00:56:56,818
That is Microsoft's entire MO, and it has
been for ages, as long as I can remember.

1161
00:56:58,499 --> 00:56:58,869
Sorry.

1162
00:56:59,699 --> 00:57:00,519
Yeah, no, continue.

1163
00:57:00,529 --> 00:57:03,299
No, 'cause y- no, you're talking about
enshittification, and I just got a

1164
00:57:03,299 --> 00:57:06,699
notification from, uh, Enshittifying Food.

1165
00:57:07,049 --> 00:57:10,799
So here in Utah, we have a chain
called Cafe Rio, and they just came

1166
00:57:10,799 --> 00:57:15,479
out with ground beef, chili lime
fry sauce, fries, and then fry sauce

1167
00:57:15,489 --> 00:57:16,789
all wrapped together in a burrito.

1168
00:57:16,989 --> 00:57:20,779
And I'm just like, "Oh my God.
Oh, that's so disgusting." Sorry.

1169
00:57:21,059 --> 00:57:22,729
It's like they're
enshittifying the food now.

1170
00:57:23,139 --> 00:57:23,809
Um,

1171
00:57:23,866 --> 00:57:24,226
Oh, yeah.

1172
00:57:24,628 --> 00:57:24,718
Oh

1173
00:57:24,859 --> 00:57:24,879
ugh.

1174
00:57:24,918 --> 00:57:27,278
that's 'cause they're u-
all using the same supplier.

1175
00:57:27,288 --> 00:57:28,538
I think it's Cisco, I think it was.

1176
00:57:28,538 --> 00:57:29,208
I w- I watched a

1177
00:57:29,383 --> 00:57:30,003
Yeah.

1178
00:57:30,063 --> 00:57:32,613
There is a, there's a really good
document- a few documentaries

1179
00:57:32,613 --> 00:57:35,483
actually on YouTube about the,
uh, enshittification of food.

1180
00:57:35,513 --> 00:57:36,543
They should call it that though.

1181
00:57:37,073 --> 00:57:38,753
Uh, uh, ugh.

1182
00:57:39,183 --> 00:57:40,423
Yeah, Cisco is the problem.

1183
00:57:40,433 --> 00:57:41,543
Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you.

1184
00:57:41,543 --> 00:57:45,023
I just saw that and that was
dis- that was beyond disgusting

1185
00:57:45,484 --> 00:57:45,844
They call

1186
00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:46,380
No, you're…

1187
00:57:46,444 --> 00:57:47,014
bowls

1188
00:57:47,997 --> 00:57:49,297
It's not a bowl, it was a burrito.

1189
00:57:49,297 --> 00:57:51,347
Like, I've had California
burritos, all that.

1190
00:57:51,347 --> 00:57:55,947
They, there's… But adding
it like they did, disgusting.

1191
00:57:56,187 --> 00:57:58,047
The fry sauce, it does not
need to go in a burrito

1192
00:57:59,047 --> 00:57:59,777
Yeah.

1193
00:57:59,847 --> 00:57:59,997
You

1194
00:58:00,130 --> 00:58:00,510
Sorry

1195
00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:02,847
there's more Microsoft
news though, though.

1196
00:58:03,547 --> 00:58:07,897
guys remember the good old tariffs
back when that was the main expense

1197
00:58:07,897 --> 00:58:09,447
and not the stupid Rampocalypse?

1198
00:58:10,221 --> 00:58:10,411
Ja

1199
00:58:12,199 --> 00:58:15,679
So if you guys recall, Nintendo said
they weren't entitled to give customers

1200
00:58:15,689 --> 00:58:19,909
back anything, and now Microsoft and
Sony are in the same boat as well.

1201
00:58:19,909 --> 00:58:21,539
That's th- that, that's the news story

1202
00:58:22,539 --> 00:58:22,899
That's

1203
00:58:23,208 --> 00:58:25,848
I'd say a class action lawsuit
should needs, needs to go into

1204
00:58:25,848 --> 00:58:27,148
play, and honestly it should.

1205
00:58:27,158 --> 00:58:30,468
But the thing is, class act-
they'd only will pay for the,

1206
00:58:30,568 --> 00:58:32,168
the, uh, lawyers, so I don't know.

1207
00:58:33,828 --> 00:58:35,178
Teach them a lesson, I guess.

1208
00:58:35,328 --> 00:58:37,488
At least it goes to someone
that's n- I'd rather it go to the

1209
00:58:37,488 --> 00:58:39,048
lawyers than go to these companies

1210
00:58:40,041 --> 00:58:40,481
Yeah

1211
00:58:40,771 --> 00:58:41,561
Yeah, same

1212
00:58:43,390 --> 00:58:43,930
So

1213
00:58:44,137 --> 00:58:45,867
Yeah They're bad people

1214
00:58:46,467 --> 00:58:51,167
So Sony told investors in July
that they're expecting $508 million

1215
00:58:51,557 --> 00:58:53,367
in refunds from the government

1216
00:58:55,315 --> 00:58:55,965
Refunds for what?

1217
00:58:55,975 --> 00:58:58,075
They didn't pay these taxes.

1218
00:58:58,135 --> 00:59:00,815
These are taxes we paid
and they are getting.

1219
00:59:01,115 --> 00:59:03,315
This is the inverse of capitalism.

1220
00:59:05,295 --> 00:59:11,955
It's, it's re- it's the reverse, it's,
it's like reverse ca- uh, um, communism.

1221
00:59:12,005 --> 00:59:15,405
Like, it's the redistribution of
wealth upwards rather than down.

1222
00:59:15,635 --> 00:59:16,465
This is insane

1223
00:59:17,386 --> 00:59:19,996
Two Technically, yes.

1224
00:59:20,406 --> 00:59:25,576
Um, depending on how or the, the,
the costs were added and if you

1225
00:59:25,576 --> 00:59:28,866
can prove it, 'cause sometimes a
company can eat the cost, right?

1226
00:59:28,906 --> 00:59:30,376
And just pay for the tax for us.

1227
00:59:31,296 --> 00:59:34,746
I just d- but they raise prices
every time from my understanding.

1228
00:59:34,746 --> 00:59:35,856
So like, it's

1229
00:59:37,946 --> 00:59:40,006
yeah, greedflation needs to be punished.

1230
00:59:40,666 --> 00:59:41,746
Needs to be punished

1231
00:59:41,901 --> 00:59:46,201
three, yeah, 'cause it's kind of bogus
how they can just raise the prices and

1232
00:59:46,201 --> 00:59:48,251
never, and never bring them down too.

1233
00:59:48,251 --> 00:59:52,711
That's the thing, the prices have not
g- I mean, to be fair, there is another

1234
00:59:52,791 --> 00:59:55,741
crazy crisis going on, probably one
that's even worse than the old tar-

1235
00:59:57,471 --> 01:00:01,511
Man, I miss when tariffs were the,
uh, the main cause of prices going

1236
01:00:01,511 --> 01:00:03,541
up and not the stupid rampocalypse

1237
01:00:04,178 --> 01:00:05,068
Oh, no.

1238
01:00:05,078 --> 01:00:06,428
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1239
01:00:06,748 --> 01:00:09,568
Like tariffs suck and
they did increase prices.

1240
01:00:09,708 --> 01:00:14,518
Greedflation is where it really started,
and it started to really pick up once

1241
01:00:14,518 --> 01:00:19,478
they realized people would pay whatever
they wanted right before and after COVID.

1242
01:00:19,938 --> 01:00:21,528
So that's when it really picked up.

1243
01:00:21,558 --> 01:00:22,588
You'll see the trends.

1244
01:00:22,608 --> 01:00:27,518
Greedflation went out of control, and
these companies are just raising prices,

1245
01:00:28,778 --> 01:00:31,538
and it's not even in step with inflation.

1246
01:00:31,568 --> 01:00:33,538
It is way out of step of inflation

1247
01:00:34,283 --> 01:00:34,623
Yeah.

1248
01:00:35,877 --> 01:00:38,247
The, everything's gone up in price.

1249
01:00:38,247 --> 01:00:39,057
It's insane

1250
01:00:40,476 --> 01:00:42,016
Uh, not a hot dog at Costco.

1251
01:00:42,646 --> 01:00:45,446
It might kill you faster, but
at least you'll enjoy your death

1252
01:00:47,141 --> 01:00:49,491
But has a Costco membership
gone up in price?

1253
01:00:49,996 --> 01:00:51,586
No, I don't think so.

1254
01:00:51,586 --> 01:00:56,366
Not… If it has, it's only bumped up by
$10 in the past, like, five, 10 years.

1255
01:00:57,266 --> 01:01:03,226
I think it, I think, let's see, I
spend 140, 130, maybe it's 120 for

1256
01:01:03,226 --> 01:01:05,086
the co- uh, for the executive one.

1257
01:01:06,186 --> 01:01:11,446
And I, 'cause I do a lot of my shopping
there, I make, I almost get th- $400 back.

1258
01:01:13,226 --> 01:01:14,236
And it just, it pay…

1259
01:01:14,455 --> 01:01:14,665
back?

1260
01:01:15,396 --> 01:01:17,356
So for 2% of the…

1261
01:01:17,366 --> 01:01:21,856
So every two per- like, every purchase
you make, you get a rebate of 2% back

1262
01:01:22,856 --> 01:01:26,926
So, uh, with the executive one, I
think if with the regular one, which

1263
01:01:26,926 --> 01:01:28,896
is like 80 bucks, you don't get that.

1264
01:01:29,176 --> 01:01:34,916
With the executive one you, um, get money
back at the gas ta- at the gas, uh, s-

1265
01:01:34,966 --> 01:01:38,956
station that they have and, uh, when you
buy anything from there, including…

1266
01:01:39,016 --> 01:01:42,176
And I've, I've bought multiple things
like trips and stuff through them.

1267
01:01:42,676 --> 01:01:47,306
So it's like, kinda like a credit card,
but not having to have a credit card.

1268
01:01:49,156 --> 01:01:49,506
So

1269
01:01:49,555 --> 01:01:49,955
Yeah

1270
01:01:49,955 --> 01:01:53,105
I wish there was a Costco around
here 'cause I would shop there

1271
01:01:53,794 --> 01:01:57,414
My kids, the way they eat, Costco's like
the best way for me to go, especially

1272
01:01:57,414 --> 01:01:58,974
with all the greed-flation going on.

1273
01:01:59,974 --> 01:02:01,054
They have their… Yeah

1274
01:02:01,733 --> 01:02:05,323
You can go to any Costco
anywhere in the world

1275
01:02:06,236 --> 01:02:06,656
Yeah.

1276
01:02:07,676 --> 01:02:11,576
There's some… In Japan,
there's some good sushi you can

1277
01:02:11,576 --> 01:02:12,576
get from there for apparently.

1278
01:02:12,646 --> 01:02:13,196
I don't know.

1279
01:02:13,206 --> 01:02:16,456
Like, good as in you can eat a lot of it
and it's supposed to be taste pretty good

1280
01:02:17,675 --> 01:02:18,645
Well, I can imagine.

1281
01:02:18,645 --> 01:02:21,695
They, they live in the source
of… They live, like, by, like,

1282
01:02:21,695 --> 01:02:23,245
the docks and stuff sometimes.

1283
01:02:23,868 --> 01:02:24,368
Yeah.

1284
01:02:24,458 --> 01:02:24,708
My

1285
01:02:24,825 --> 01:02:27,305
good, I had some really
good sushi in Japan.

1286
01:02:27,415 --> 01:02:31,025
Uh, oh my God, I'll never have
anything that good in the States

1287
01:02:31,956 --> 01:02:33,136
I don't know if I agree with that.

1288
01:02:33,136 --> 01:02:36,246
I think I've had just as good a sushi
in the States as I've had in Japan.

1289
01:02:36,766 --> 01:02:37,636
I think it's overblown.

1290
01:02:38,697 --> 01:02:39,387
I had a, I had a

1291
01:02:39,416 --> 01:02:40,616
Might be blasphemous though.

1292
01:02:41,787 --> 01:02:43,327
I had a Tsukiji fish market.

1293
01:02:43,337 --> 01:02:44,657
It was some fatty tuna.

1294
01:02:45,077 --> 01:02:45,927
Mm, best

1295
01:02:46,052 --> 01:02:46,872
Oh, yeah.

1296
01:02:46,957 --> 01:02:46,977
in years

1297
01:02:48,552 --> 01:02:48,962
Yeah

1298
01:02:49,889 --> 01:02:53,229
They probably killed that tuna
like a few hours ago probably.

1299
01:02:53,229 --> 01:02:53,599
I don't know

1300
01:02:54,076 --> 01:02:56,186
That's why I was still
wiggling in your mouth

1301
01:02:57,855 --> 01:02:57,885
Okay

1302
01:02:58,885 --> 01:02:59,975
Well, don't say it like that

1303
01:03:00,576 --> 01:03:06,186
It's… Well, uh, yeah, we don't need to
talk about all that 'cause I prefer my f-

1304
01:03:06,386 --> 01:03:09,976
uh, fish flash frozen before I consume it,

1305
01:03:11,259 --> 01:03:11,889
Yeah, I

1306
01:03:11,896 --> 01:03:13,256
the par- because the parasites

1307
01:03:13,329 --> 01:03:15,699
that's, how you're supposed to, that's
how you're supposed to do it anyways.

1308
01:03:16,086 --> 01:03:16,576
Yeah

1309
01:03:17,289 --> 01:03:22,549
Speaking of flash freezing things,
the games industry could chill

1310
01:03:22,589 --> 01:03:23,989
out, could chill out a little bit.

1311
01:03:25,729 --> 01:03:27,139
So have you guys heard about this?

1312
01:03:28,139 --> 01:03:31,329
Tim Sweeney is saying that we're
facing the worst video game crash

1313
01:03:31,699 --> 01:03:34,929
since the video game crash of the
'80s, you know, the last one we had

1314
01:03:35,846 --> 01:03:36,196
Yeah.

1315
01:03:37,806 --> 01:03:40,266
The '80s was just getting
interest and everything like that.

1316
01:03:40,266 --> 01:03:42,986
Like, there, the, the crashes
are two different things.

1317
01:03:43,886 --> 01:03:47,296
The '80s one I think it's because they're
just getting enough interest in it.

1318
01:03:47,336 --> 01:03:49,526
There wasn't a lot of money
being injected, so a lot of

1319
01:03:49,536 --> 01:03:51,666
people are just barely making by.

1320
01:03:52,376 --> 01:03:56,046
Now, it's, it's… I guess people
are ver- barely making by in the

1321
01:03:56,046 --> 01:03:58,496
game industry too because they're
just not getting paid well enough.

1322
01:03:58,826 --> 01:04:01,106
But also on top of that,
it's the enshittification.

1323
01:04:01,106 --> 01:04:06,266
It's, it's the… It correlates in
my opinion to how capitalism's kinda

1324
01:04:06,266 --> 01:04:11,006
running amuck right now, in the sense
of it's all being, um, if you haven't

1325
01:04:11,006 --> 01:04:14,776
noticed, everything's being bought up
and then pieced apart and sold off.

1326
01:04:14,806 --> 01:04:24,056
It's just these, uh, it's crazy what's
going on with our economies, and- Yeah

1327
01:04:24,386 --> 01:04:27,366
game industry is probably the w- it's
gonna be one of the worst affected

1328
01:04:27,366 --> 01:04:28,946
because it's a creative industry.

1329
01:04:28,956 --> 01:04:33,106
It requires creativity injected into it.

1330
01:04:33,376 --> 01:04:36,126
You can't just treat it like a cog So

1331
01:04:37,537 --> 01:04:41,097
so basically Tim Sweeney cites a
couple of things, the high cost

1332
01:04:41,097 --> 01:04:46,307
of AAA game development, true,
and also component shortages, also

1333
01:04:46,307 --> 01:04:49,457
true, and also just exorbitant
prices of hardware requi- basically

1334
01:04:49,457 --> 01:04:52,517
required to play video games Like,

1335
01:04:52,809 --> 01:04:52,849
Y-

1336
01:04:52,907 --> 01:04:53,067
need

1337
01:04:53,209 --> 01:04:53,529
ya

1338
01:04:53,627 --> 01:04:55,137
hardware to play video games too

1339
01:04:55,912 --> 01:04:57,442
Not, not really.

1340
01:04:57,472 --> 01:04:59,332
Like a lot of video games don't need it.

1341
01:04:59,942 --> 01:05:02,652
But we need to optimize better too.

1342
01:05:02,662 --> 01:05:06,252
That, that's where he could play
in, uh, play a part, which he is.

1343
01:05:06,252 --> 01:05:06,762
They, they are.

1344
01:05:06,762 --> 01:05:10,712
They see it coming that they have
to optimize for this rampocalypse.

1345
01:05:11,642 --> 01:05:12,592
But we'll see.

1346
01:05:14,032 --> 01:05:18,972
I… The cost of games is
going up, but it's not that…

1347
01:05:19,002 --> 01:05:21,902
It, it's… Like, look how
profitable these companies are.

1348
01:05:21,902 --> 01:05:25,812
It's n- they're taking all the
profit and not ma- and not betting

1349
01:05:25,812 --> 01:05:27,332
on new studios or anything like that.

1350
01:05:27,512 --> 01:05:30,772
And if studio doesn't do as well
as they wanted it to, 'cause they

1351
01:05:30,812 --> 01:05:33,862
overplan and overproject, uh, like
Dead Space is a great example.

1352
01:05:33,862 --> 01:05:36,092
They over-advertise it
when they didn't need to.

1353
01:05:36,792 --> 01:05:41,152
Like, it's not the CEOs that are getting
fired and the, and the C- uh, and the

1354
01:05:41,152 --> 01:05:43,272
executives which, who should be fired.

1355
01:05:43,592 --> 01:05:46,042
It's everyone else that's getting
fired, and it's making it so less and

1356
01:05:46,042 --> 01:05:48,602
less people wanna be in the industry
or they're gonna do their own thing.

1357
01:05:48,602 --> 01:05:52,522
So the collapse is not necessarily a
bad thing, it's just gonna cause a lot

1358
01:05:52,522 --> 01:05:54,582
of people to, to suffer, which sucks

1359
01:05:55,582 --> 01:05:57,112
That's just like, I guess my take on that

1360
01:05:58,115 --> 01:05:58,625
Yeah.

1361
01:05:59,425 --> 01:06:02,515
It, it's a, it's a bad time
for video games as a whole.

1362
01:06:02,525 --> 01:06:04,825
It's a bad time to be in the
video games industry as a whole.

1363
01:06:05,385 --> 01:06:10,915
I mean, truth be told, if you have
programming skills or art skills or

1364
01:06:10,915 --> 01:06:14,475
music skills, do any other industry

1365
01:06:15,622 --> 01:06:16,222
Maybe.

1366
01:06:17,332 --> 01:06:20,422
The progra- even programming, if you, if
you're just starting out in programming,

1367
01:06:20,422 --> 01:06:22,032
it's not easy to get a job in programming

1368
01:06:23,113 --> 01:06:23,413
Yeah

1369
01:06:24,574 --> 01:06:25,024
The, you,

1370
01:06:25,321 --> 01:06:26,691
now that AI is a thing too

1371
01:06:27,214 --> 01:06:31,144
it is 'cause they don't understand that
you still need a human along with that

1372
01:06:31,144 --> 01:06:36,234
tool, and they're, it is just like…
Dude, Mark Zuckerberg alone is like,

1373
01:06:36,244 --> 01:06:38,874
dude, villain arcing so hard right now.

1374
01:06:38,874 --> 01:06:41,064
Like, he wants to be,
like, the max villain.

1375
01:06:41,944 --> 01:06:44,544
He wants, and I think there
was an internal leak that came

1376
01:06:44,544 --> 01:06:52,284
out, he wants pretty much all
engineers gone He wants all AI.

1377
01:06:52,551 --> 01:06:55,181
given he was a engineer
at one point in time.

1378
01:06:56,038 --> 01:06:56,788
Yeah.

1379
01:06:57,588 --> 01:06:58,738
Yeah, he was actually.

1380
01:06:58,741 --> 01:06:59,221
interesting.

1381
01:06:59,451 --> 01:06:59,831
Yeah, I

1382
01:06:59,928 --> 01:07:00,108
He-

1383
01:07:01,041 --> 01:07:03,611
built Facebook with his own hands at

1384
01:07:03,648 --> 01:07:04,298
He did.

1385
01:07:04,638 --> 01:07:06,888
He is one of the people
that actually did that

1386
01:07:07,779 --> 01:07:08,229
Yeah.

1387
01:07:08,519 --> 01:07:08,829
Yeah.

1388
01:07:08,839 --> 01:07:09,239
that's true

1389
01:07:10,016 --> 01:07:13,666
Like, he, he stole like he was working
with some business people and stole it.

1390
01:07:13,666 --> 01:07:15,236
But like gr- great,

1391
01:07:18,406 --> 01:07:21,026
great, gr- uh, it's just like
what, uh, what an asshole

1392
01:07:22,053 --> 01:07:24,863
Well, you know they're ma- y- have
you guys watched The Social Network?

1393
01:07:25,814 --> 01:07:26,194
Yeah

1394
01:07:26,293 --> 01:07:28,663
old, like, with Jesse
Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg?

1395
01:07:29,303 --> 01:07:30,563
They're making a sequel to it

1396
01:07:31,806 --> 01:07:32,906
The Social Reckoning.

1397
01:07:33,415 --> 01:07:34,545
The social reckoning,

1398
01:07:34,686 --> 01:07:39,936
Is it a sequel or is it like a… Or is
it like more of a spiritual successor?

1399
01:07:41,275 --> 01:07:41,645
It's being

1400
01:07:41,696 --> 01:07:42,076
'Cause it…

1401
01:07:42,185 --> 01:07:42,935
same guy

1402
01:07:43,256 --> 01:07:45,566
Yeah, I don't think it,
the story follows the same.

1403
01:07:45,566 --> 01:07:47,676
I think it's just like
around social media though

1404
01:07:49,253 --> 01:07:52,693
Well, it, it's also around
Mark Zuckerberg specifically

1405
01:07:53,918 --> 01:07:55,458
Is it directly around him?

1406
01:07:55,458 --> 01:07:57,788
'Cause, uh, when I watched the trailer,
I was just like, "This doesn't look

1407
01:07:57,818 --> 01:08:03,548
anything like The S- Social Network." But
the way they were framing it seemed like

1408
01:08:03,548 --> 01:08:06,888
more of a espionage almost style film

1409
01:08:07,888 --> 01:08:13,328
I mean, it's about Facebook,
or more specifically

1410
01:08:13,531 --> 01:08:13,841
Yeah

1411
01:08:16,028 --> 01:08:17,368
They have a different guy as Mark though.

1412
01:08:17,378 --> 01:08:20,308
They have, uh, they don't
have Jesse Eisenberg.

1413
01:08:20,921 --> 01:08:21,781
He can't go with that

1414
01:08:21,858 --> 01:08:24,258
in like, decades, in, like,
a few years now at this point

1415
01:08:24,870 --> 01:08:25,090
Yeah

1416
01:08:25,090 --> 01:08:28,020
I think Jeremy Strong
here, is that his name?

1417
01:08:28,030 --> 01:08:29,270
He's a better choice

1418
01:08:30,270 --> 01:08:33,730
He looks more like a, uh, younger
Mark, Mark Zuckerberg for sure

1419
01:08:34,537 --> 01:08:38,877
y- I don't normally vote for people
to not, or to like have a robot

1420
01:08:38,877 --> 01:08:41,447
take someone's job, but I think they
should've just chose one of like

1421
01:08:41,797 --> 01:08:43,237
a, one of the robotic companies.

1422
01:08:43,237 --> 01:08:45,297
Like, "Hey, can we use one of your
robots? And then we'll just put

1423
01:08:45,297 --> 01:08:48,387
a Mark Zuckerberg face on it, and
they'll have this…" You know.

1424
01:08:49,657 --> 01:08:50,227
It'll be the same.

1425
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:51,530
have the perfect Mark Zuckerberg

1426
01:08:52,357 --> 01:08:52,767
Yeah.

1427
01:08:55,418 --> 01:08:55,908
Who that?

1428
01:08:56,549 --> 01:08:57,979
they'd be like, "Whoa, hold up, hold up.

1429
01:08:57,989 --> 01:08:58,829
This is too lifelike.

1430
01:08:58,829 --> 01:09:00,939
We gotta go, okay, robot,
you gotta tune it down.

1431
01:09:00,959 --> 01:09:02,099
You gotta be more robotic."

1432
01:09:03,099 --> 01:09:03,519
Yeah.

1433
01:09:04,279 --> 01:09:05,989
like, I like The Social Network.

1434
01:09:05,989 --> 01:09:06,609
It was a good movie

1435
01:09:07,254 --> 01:09:07,584
Yeah

1436
01:09:09,571 --> 01:09:11,971
And I'm glad they're making
a sequel or like something.

1437
01:09:13,531 --> 01:09:16,301
I don't know if this is ac- I, again, I
don't know if it's actually a sequel, but

1438
01:09:16,301 --> 01:09:19,731
it's directed by the same guy, so Probably

1439
01:09:19,775 --> 01:09:20,305
Deck Venture

1440
01:09:21,305 --> 01:09:23,195
Wait, was it David Fincher?

1441
01:09:24,159 --> 01:09:25,659
David Fincher directed the first one.

1442
01:09:25,689 --> 01:09:27,369
Aaron Sorkin wrote the first one

1443
01:09:28,295 --> 01:09:30,965
well, it's being written,
it's being directed by the

1444
01:09:30,965 --> 01:09:32,095
guy that wrote the first one

1445
01:09:33,470 --> 01:09:37,420
I'm just saying I think
it's a spiritual successor.

1446
01:09:37,430 --> 01:09:38,530
I watched the trailer.

1447
01:09:38,570 --> 01:09:43,310
It did not look like it was connected
to, uh, the first in any way except

1448
01:09:43,310 --> 01:09:46,200
for Facebook potentially, and I
think that's even be- Like, there's

1449
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,780
more than just Facebook in it

1450
01:09:48,780 --> 01:09:48,910
We'll

1451
01:09:48,977 --> 01:09:50,387
So we'll see.

1452
01:09:50,420 --> 01:09:50,600
wa-

1453
01:09:50,757 --> 01:09:51,217
We'll…

1454
01:09:52,050 --> 01:09:52,330
Would you

1455
01:09:52,467 --> 01:09:52,537
Ah.

1456
01:09:52,580 --> 01:09:56,570
watch this or the AI, or
the, uh, AI Odyssey, Gardner?

1457
01:09:56,732 --> 01:09:57,212
This.

1458
01:09:58,710 --> 01:09:58,910
I'm sure

1459
01:09:58,942 --> 01:09:59,432
This

1460
01:09:59,790 --> 01:09:59,980
we're

1461
01:10:00,113 --> 01:10:00,423
Honest,

1462
01:10:00,430 --> 01:10:01,810
you watch the AI… We're

1463
01:10:02,123 --> 01:10:02,363
I th-

1464
01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:03,850
you watch AI Odyssey first

1465
01:10:04,363 --> 01:10:07,173
After watching the trailer, I think
I'd rather watch the AI Odyssey.

1466
01:10:08,173 --> 01:10:10,683
It, it, it really threw me off
'cause it didn't feel… It felt like

1467
01:10:10,683 --> 01:10:14,483
they were trying to push an agenda
of social media bad, but in like

1468
01:10:14,483 --> 01:10:15,933
an espio- And maybe it will work.

1469
01:10:15,943 --> 01:10:16,513
Maybe it's good.

1470
01:10:16,523 --> 01:10:19,043
Like, don't get me wrong, like,
the, the agenda is good in the

1471
01:10:19,043 --> 01:10:19,993
sense of, like, social media is bad.

1472
01:10:19,993 --> 01:10:23,733
But like, it was in, like, a
really weird espionage way.

1473
01:10:24,013 --> 01:10:25,593
And so I don't know.

1474
01:10:25,593 --> 01:10:26,003
We'll see.

1475
01:10:26,003 --> 01:10:28,783
If it, it, if it convinces
people, then I'm all for it.

1476
01:10:28,833 --> 01:10:30,743
It's just I wasn't… I
didn't like the trailer.

1477
01:10:31,953 --> 01:10:34,623
Where with this, I get to
laugh at the AI-ness of it.

1478
01:10:36,003 --> 01:10:39,123
I, I wanna wa- I'd rather watch a
comedy than what I'm living in real life

1479
01:10:41,118 --> 01:10:42,188
Early access?

1480
01:10:43,088 --> 01:10:45,658
this movie still is not
yet… It's an AI movie.

1481
01:10:45,708 --> 01:10:48,668
I thought it would take,
like, seconds to generate.

1482
01:10:50,438 --> 01:10:51,038
Whatever, man.

1483
01:10:51,375 --> 01:10:52,565
Poor naive High Tech.

1484
01:10:52,755 --> 01:10:57,055
Even if it's AI, it does take a long
time to generate these so it doesn't

1485
01:10:57,095 --> 01:11:00,445
look like shit, and it probably
still will probably look like shit.

1486
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:01,410
Oh yeah, this is

1487
01:11:01,575 --> 01:11:01,875
So

1488
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,990
this is where we're gonna make
Garner watch in the, uh, on

1489
01:11:07,190 --> 01:11:07,300
Patreon.

1490
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:12,170
Instead of watching Christopher Nolan's,
uh, IMAX spectacle, we're gonna watch

1491
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,240
this AI spectacle by, uh, Ash Kusha

1492
01:11:20,381 --> 01:11:23,381
Dude, it's gonna be a, a two-hour Patreon.

1493
01:11:23,391 --> 01:11:23,831
Okay.

1494
01:11:25,081 --> 01:11:26,061
Anything for the fans

1495
01:11:26,944 --> 01:11:30,284
anything… Dude, you have, dude,
I'm just, we might upload portions

1496
01:11:30,284 --> 01:11:34,724
of it, like the highlights on YouTube
though, but watch the full thing

1497
01:11:34,835 --> 01:11:35,225
True

1498
01:11:35,864 --> 01:11:36,924
when it comes out

1499
01:11:37,924 --> 01:11:38,944
Might have to be a two-parter.

1500
01:11:38,964 --> 01:11:39,504
We'll see

1501
01:11:40,221 --> 01:11:41,611
I'm not, looking forward to that.

1502
01:11:41,861 --> 01:11:43,981
I'm- it's gonna be a miserable experience.

1503
01:11:45,085 --> 01:11:46,055
I'm looking forward to it.

1504
01:11:46,521 --> 01:11:48,021
But I get to share it with you guys,

1505
01:11:48,346 --> 01:11:48,666
Yeah.

1506
01:11:48,916 --> 01:11:49,146
Get,

1507
01:11:49,717 --> 01:11:50,147
Don't worry.

1508
01:11:50,316 --> 01:11:50,736
yep.

1509
01:11:50,867 --> 01:11:52,357
worry, we're sharing the misery, you know?

1510
01:11:52,764 --> 01:11:53,024
Ja.

1511
01:11:53,936 --> 01:11:57,226
Oh no, I'm gonna treat it as a,
I'm gonna treat it as a comedy.

1512
01:11:57,256 --> 01:11:57,816
This'll be fun

1513
01:11:59,655 --> 01:12:02,105
Get some, uh, popcorn
ready too just in case.

1514
01:12:03,855 --> 01:12:07,495
Uh, but we're gonna end this episode
on some good, on a good note.

1515
01:12:08,315 --> 01:12:08,945
This

1516
01:12:10,618 --> 01:12:13,148
It's not good for all
the mos- poor mosquitoes

1517
01:12:14,311 --> 01:12:17,291
Well, you know, I don't
care how bug the skeet is.

1518
01:12:18,241 --> 01:12:20,351
The deader they are the better, I fear

1519
01:12:20,421 --> 01:12:20,701
Yeah

1520
01:12:21,701 --> 01:12:22,131
So for

1521
01:12:22,193 --> 01:12:23,743
det- uh, this is cool.

1522
01:12:23,773 --> 01:12:24,153
Sorry, go ahead

1523
01:12:24,961 --> 01:12:27,651
for those who don't know, this
is called the Photon Matrix.

1524
01:12:28,521 --> 01:12:32,721
an autonomous DI- it's an
autonomous mosquito turret.

1525
01:12:33,421 --> 01:12:34,821
shoots light at the turret.

1526
01:12:34,871 --> 01:12:36,631
It shoots lights at
mosquitoes, it kills them.

1527
01:12:37,391 --> 01:12:37,911
burns them

1528
01:12:38,911 --> 01:12:39,711
That's pretty cool

1529
01:12:41,433 --> 01:12:43,343
Yeah, there's a video right here.

1530
01:12:44,343 --> 01:12:50,183
I wanna see some mosquitoes burn Let's see
So see, it like shoots blue light at the

1531
01:12:50,183 --> 01:12:52,783
mosquitoes and it like, it like zaps them.

1532
01:12:53,893 --> 01:12:54,673
That's pretty crazy

1533
01:12:58,597 --> 01:12:59,837
There's actually two different versions.

1534
01:12:59,877 --> 01:13:02,967
Uh, there's a blue light version
and also a, uh, infrared version

1535
01:13:02,977 --> 01:13:07,717
that's invisible effectively I don't
know if I'd put it above my bed,

1536
01:13:08,717 --> 01:13:09,127
Yeah

1537
01:13:10,185 --> 01:13:12,285
yeah, pretty cool to have

1538
01:13:13,285 --> 01:13:14,625
I love this.

1539
01:13:14,665 --> 01:13:16,595
Uh, one of the

1540
01:13:16,622 --> 01:13:16,892
you're gonna be

1541
01:13:16,915 --> 01:13:20,375
parts about being outside is
being bitten by mosquitoes

1542
01:13:23,140 --> 01:13:23,560
Yeah.

1543
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:28,320
We don't, I don't, I actually haven't
seen too many mosquitoes where I live

1544
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:32,730
right now, but oh man, I, I don't
know if they do some type of control

1545
01:13:32,790 --> 01:13:36,250
for mosquitoes here in Utah now,
but doesn't seem like it's bad, but

1546
01:13:36,250 --> 01:13:39,440
this would be, like for camping in
certain areas, this would be awesome

1547
01:13:40,627 --> 01:13:42,357
Mosquitoes are miserable, man.

1548
01:13:42,367 --> 01:13:46,157
There are mosquitoes literally everywhere
where I live, in my typical area.

1549
01:13:46,617 --> 01:13:49,317
Like, as soon as I go outside,
there's a fucking mosquito on my leg.

1550
01:13:49,437 --> 01:13:50,247
It's miserable

1551
01:13:50,934 --> 01:13:53,854
Well, and on the east side of
the country and then also the

1552
01:13:53,854 --> 01:13:56,624
south, there's more diseases that
come with the mosquitoes too.

1553
01:13:56,804 --> 01:13:57,514
Well, they

1554
01:13:57,551 --> 01:13:57,991
Yes

1555
01:13:58,814 --> 01:14:00,504
comes into here a little bit.

1556
01:14:00,514 --> 01:14:01,424
It's not as bad though

1557
01:14:03,337 --> 01:14:07,227
Yeah, like there's, like a lot of
viruses that, uh, come from mosquitoes.

1558
01:14:07,227 --> 01:14:09,417
Like, uh, malaria's one.

1559
01:14:09,537 --> 01:14:10,087
Uh,

1560
01:14:10,867 --> 01:14:11,427
West Nile.

1561
01:14:11,577 --> 01:14:12,327
was another one

1562
01:14:13,107 --> 01:14:14,627
Zika, West Nile, yeah

1563
01:14:15,155 --> 01:14:15,355
West

1564
01:14:15,571 --> 01:14:15,971
Yeah.

1565
01:14:16,635 --> 01:14:17,185
I mean,

1566
01:14:18,030 --> 01:14:18,400
So

1567
01:14:18,445 --> 01:14:21,285
was COV- was COVID transmitted
through mosquitoes at one point too?

1568
01:14:21,755 --> 01:14:22,295
No

1569
01:14:23,295 --> 01:14:25,585
Probably could, but I don't think it
was, 'cause I think it's so… Well,

1570
01:14:25,615 --> 01:14:28,925
no, does it, it does, it doesn't get
transmitted through blood, I don't think.

1571
01:14:29,385 --> 01:14:30,805
Um, probably could though.

1572
01:14:31,155 --> 01:14:37,605
So with this though, uh, do you
trust the AI to, in this to work

1573
01:14:37,605 --> 01:14:41,515
properly so it doesn't just,
like, suspect you're a mosquito?

1574
01:14:42,515 --> 01:14:42,835
It's AI

1575
01:14:44,478 --> 01:14:48,968
It's just c- I, I… It's, it's
gonna be using, uh, machine learning.

1576
01:14:49,278 --> 01:14:51,698
It has to, to identify.

1577
01:14:52,408 --> 01:14:55,958
So, um, which you could classify.

1578
01:14:55,968 --> 01:14:59,278
I'm surprised they haven't put it down as
AI, 'cause you probably could classify it

1579
01:14:59,278 --> 01:15:00,718
as AI more than some of the other stuff.

1580
01:15:00,728 --> 01:15:04,818
But this is going to utilize, like it's
probably, yeah, it's probably gonna kill

1581
01:15:04,878 --> 01:15:07,738
anything that is the size of a mosquito

1582
01:15:08,738 --> 01:15:09,628
I'll try it out.

1583
01:15:10,388 --> 01:15:10,758
let you know

1584
01:15:10,837 --> 01:15:11,147
Yeah

1585
01:15:11,148 --> 01:15:15,258
burns me or not But even
then, like it… go ahead

1586
01:15:15,394 --> 01:15:21,394
the question is what happens
when, um, the mosquitoes evolve

1587
01:15:21,454 --> 01:15:23,044
and become immune to this?

1588
01:15:24,076 --> 01:15:24,256
You

1589
01:15:24,301 --> 01:15:25,441
Super mosquitoes?

1590
01:15:26,056 --> 01:15:27,006
mosquitoes?

1591
01:15:27,388 --> 01:15:27,848
Yeah.

1592
01:15:27,908 --> 01:15:29,508
Laser-resistant mosquitoes, guys

1593
01:15:30,425 --> 01:15:31,115
Huh, Fallout.

1594
01:15:31,125 --> 01:15:31,905
We get Fallout.

1595
01:15:32,444 --> 01:15:33,414
mosquitoes.

1596
01:15:33,735 --> 01:15:36,205
They just get bigger to m-
that's how they resist it.

1597
01:15:36,215 --> 01:15:38,095
They just get bigger
so they can't detect it

1598
01:15:39,066 --> 01:15:42,146
Thicker hide or thicker, um,
exoskeletons or something.

1599
01:15:42,988 --> 01:15:46,488
Dude, and then they're just gonna
transition from lasers to bullets,

1600
01:15:47,138 --> 01:15:48,058
then they're just gonna be turrets

1601
01:15:48,726 --> 01:15:49,136
Yeah.

1602
01:15:49,456 --> 01:15:51,616
Life, uh, finds a way, right?

1603
01:15:52,374 --> 01:15:52,834
Quite so.

1604
01:15:53,581 --> 01:15:55,061
Bullet resistant mosquitoes.

1605
01:15:55,854 --> 01:15:56,224
So

1606
01:15:56,291 --> 01:15:57,941
They're already resistant almost.

1607
01:15:58,772 --> 01:16:02,302
I kind of want to get one
of these, but it's $1,000

1608
01:16:03,111 --> 01:16:06,521
That, oh my gosh Can I bu-

1609
01:16:06,702 --> 01:16:10,312
depending on how much time you
spend outside, it could be worth it

1610
01:16:10,691 --> 01:16:11,601
Oh, 100%.

1611
01:16:11,641 --> 01:16:15,821
Just like a couple of camping trips
this would pay for itself I guess.

1612
01:16:15,871 --> 01:16:20,651
That's not how camping works, but,
uh, $1,000 man, mm, I don't know.

1613
01:16:21,481 --> 01:16:25,251
If you could, if it take on all those
ticks that are like, that have the,

1614
01:16:25,251 --> 01:16:31,521
uh, the protein disease that you
can't eat me- uh, beef and all that.

1615
01:16:32,074 --> 01:16:32,564
Lyme.

1616
01:16:33,011 --> 01:16:33,341
Yeah.

1617
01:16:33,721 --> 01:16:35,941
No, it's not Lyme, it's, uh

1618
01:16:37,301 --> 01:16:41,451
There's a different disease that's like
in Texas especially, which prese- prevents

1619
01:16:41,451 --> 01:16:43,961
you from eating red meat specifically.

1620
01:16:43,970 --> 01:16:44,490
ticks

1621
01:16:45,591 --> 01:16:47,721
Yes.

1622
01:16:47,731 --> 01:16:50,551
I can't remember what it's called though.

1623
01:16:50,601 --> 01:16:52,311
I, it's, I guess from deer ticks.

1624
01:16:52,311 --> 01:16:52,781
I don't know

1625
01:16:53,654 --> 01:16:55,174
I thought that was Lyme's disease

1626
01:16:56,174 --> 01:16:56,684
No.

1627
01:16:56,694 --> 01:16:57,114
Lime's…

1628
01:16:57,279 --> 01:16:58,109
it's not live reviews

1629
01:16:59,084 --> 01:17:00,294
I'm thinking of something different.

1630
01:17:01,184 --> 01:17:01,604
But yeah.

1631
01:17:02,584 --> 01:17:03,824
I don't, I don't know right now.

1632
01:17:04,024 --> 01:17:08,794
All I know is if this c- if, if this could
take on ticks, then it'd b- probably be

1633
01:17:08,794 --> 01:17:11,884
an easy, easy sell for me, 'cause that's
what I'm most worried about right now

1634
01:17:12,357 --> 01:17:13,557
Do ticks, fly

1635
01:17:14,190 --> 01:17:15,320
No, they don't.

1636
01:17:15,510 --> 01:17:16,300
That's the hard part.

1637
01:17:16,950 --> 01:17:18,390
They'd have to shoot it off my clothes.

1638
01:17:18,390 --> 01:17:22,850
I just aim it at myself and just go catch
me on fire, but you know, it's worth it

1639
01:17:23,841 --> 01:17:24,301
Yeah

1640
01:17:25,301 --> 01:17:29,201
If it means it kills those nasty ticks and
I die in the process, at least I go down

1641
01:17:31,168 --> 01:17:35,188
Dude, imagine having like a little
drone with a laser on it that could

1642
01:17:35,188 --> 01:17:38,918
fly around and like look down at the
ground and find ticks and shoot them.

1643
01:17:40,525 --> 01:17:41,215
Actually,

1644
01:17:41,942 --> 01:17:42,192
there's a

1645
01:17:42,325 --> 01:17:43,055
probably could do that

1646
01:17:43,092 --> 01:17:43,682
targets.

1647
01:17:43,872 --> 01:17:45,362
Let's find out what it targets

1648
01:17:46,362 --> 01:17:50,392
I- i- it shows that, but I think it's just
they're all the same, like similar size.

1649
01:17:50,392 --> 01:17:50,822
I don't know.

1650
01:17:50,862 --> 01:17:52,322
How would they know?

1651
01:17:53,172 --> 01:17:54,592
I just, I don't, I don't know.

1652
01:17:54,592 --> 01:17:57,702
I don't understand how they would be
able to recognize one bug over another

1653
01:17:59,903 --> 01:18:00,793
See

1654
01:18:01,793 --> 01:18:05,223
Um, and maybe, maybe that's
where the $1,000 comes from.

1655
01:18:05,223 --> 01:18:08,253
It has really good LiDAR, 'cause
that's what this uses, doesn't it?

1656
01:18:09,094 --> 01:18:09,244
It

1657
01:18:09,286 --> 01:18:09,446
Yeah.

1658
01:18:09,464 --> 01:18:10,304
use LiDAR, yes

1659
01:18:11,104 --> 01:18:11,304
Ja.

1660
01:18:11,386 --> 01:18:12,516
effective range?

1661
01:18:14,401 --> 01:18:15,091
Two miles.

1662
01:18:17,861 --> 01:18:19,161
That would be an intense laser

1663
01:18:20,161 --> 01:18:20,881
I don't know.

1664
01:18:21,001 --> 01:18:24,021
Let's, uh, let's find out.

1665
01:18:24,841 --> 01:18:25,531
see.

1666
01:18:25,601 --> 01:18:26,641
FAQ

1667
01:18:27,641 --> 01:18:28,271
No answer

1668
01:18:29,271 --> 01:18:31,991
Dude, there's no e- dude,
there's no questions in the FAQ

1669
01:18:32,604 --> 01:18:35,144
It's probably like 10, 20 feet.

1670
01:18:35,874 --> 01:18:37,944
It's probably not, it's
probably not very large.

1671
01:18:39,014 --> 01:18:42,204
But it will help thin down the area, so as
those mosquitoes come near, and if you're

1672
01:18:42,204 --> 01:18:45,354
near it, those mosquitoes will come in
range and they'll get, they'll get zapped

1673
01:18:46,053 --> 01:18:50,693
There's a, there's a swamp kinda
nearby, and so, like, it feels like

1674
01:18:50,693 --> 01:18:54,903
it's a never-ending onslaught of, of
mosquitoes when you go out to the backyard

1675
01:18:55,290 --> 01:18:57,870
What would happen if you took
this thing to that swamp and

1676
01:18:57,870 --> 01:18:58,790
left it there for a week?

1677
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,210
Would you come back to like literally
three feet of dead mosquitoes?

1678
01:19:03,517 --> 01:19:04,227
That'd be cool

1679
01:19:04,991 --> 01:19:08,301
be getting… Dude, record a time
lapse and then upload on YouTube

1680
01:19:08,892 --> 01:19:09,752
is a dead bug

1681
01:19:10,277 --> 01:19:11,867
It's a class four laser

1682
01:19:12,867 --> 01:19:15,457
Is it possi- is that, is
that, can that blind you?

1683
01:19:16,933 --> 01:19:18,673
Um, I don't know.

1684
01:19:18,673 --> 01:19:19,133
Let's find out

1685
01:19:20,133 --> 01:19:21,223
Could have blinded you, yeah

1686
01:19:22,223 --> 01:19:24,793
It can, but probably like

1687
01:19:25,793 --> 01:19:29,053
I mean, it was pretty… It's
like it can completely blind you.

1688
01:19:29,753 --> 01:19:30,733
That's what it just said

1689
01:19:31,716 --> 01:19:37,736
but like probably if you like shine
it at you for like minutes on end,

1690
01:19:39,319 --> 01:19:40,289
That's not what it said

1691
01:19:40,446 --> 01:19:41,056
zaps it and

1692
01:19:43,575 --> 01:19:44,078
I don't know.

1693
01:19:44,078 --> 01:19:48,155
Did it say that or does it just
like… 'Cause if it can kill a

1694
01:19:48,155 --> 01:19:50,675
mosquito, that's some intense heat.

1695
01:19:51,225 --> 01:19:52,875
If it hits your eye, that's not gonna

1696
01:19:54,204 --> 01:19:58,854
There's also infrared, but
it's also a class four laser

1697
01:19:59,479 --> 01:19:59,959
Yeah

1698
01:20:00,959 --> 01:20:04,719
It's fully enclosed with multi-layer
active safety protection,

1699
01:20:05,289 --> 01:20:08,959
whatever that means Just don't
look at it directly, Gardner

1700
01:20:09,265 --> 01:20:09,735
Yeah.

1701
01:20:10,155 --> 01:20:10,595
Right

1702
01:20:12,272 --> 01:20:12,652
Hmm.

1703
01:20:12,942 --> 01:20:16,872
Well, it looks like it's only, it
aims out and up, so technically

1704
01:20:16,872 --> 01:20:19,142
unless you're leaning over it,
you shouldn't have any issues.

1705
01:20:21,002 --> 01:20:25,882
Um, I could only imagine the type
of issues people run into with this.

1706
01:20:25,902 --> 01:20:28,262
There, there's gotta be so many people
that have been injured by this thing now.

1707
01:20:28,602 --> 01:20:31,232
They have- just people are
so stupid with products

1708
01:20:32,232 --> 01:20:34,032
They tend to be, yes, unfortunately

1709
01:20:35,032 --> 01:20:37,682
Just thinking about
lasers makes my eyes hurt.

1710
01:20:38,682 --> 01:20:40,462
Lasers are cool, man

1711
01:20:40,979 --> 01:20:41,949
Maybe it'll fix your eye.

1712
01:20:41,959 --> 01:20:44,109
Your, you don't need glasses
anymore if it hits you in the eyes

1713
01:20:45,109 --> 01:20:46,569
That'd be one lucky laser beam

1714
01:20:49,202 --> 01:20:50,682
Uh, it'd be more like you're blind

1715
01:20:52,687 --> 01:20:54,227
It'd have to like reshape, Gardner's eye.

1716
01:20:54,227 --> 01:20:56,217
Isn't that what, isn't that
what laser surgery is anyways?

1717
01:20:56,217 --> 01:20:58,487
It like reshapes the inside
of your eye a little bit

1718
01:20:59,381 --> 01:21:02,761
Yeah, it changes the shape
of the, the lens of your eye

1719
01:21:05,269 --> 01:21:10,249
But I, dude, when I'm like, uh,
I'm so like… I s- I notice

1720
01:21:10,249 --> 01:21:12,589
such weird details about things.

1721
01:21:13,289 --> 01:21:17,149
can tell, like just looking someone in
the eye, if they've had, uh, LASIK surgery

1722
01:21:18,149 --> 01:21:18,759
How do you tell?

1723
01:21:19,971 --> 01:21:24,101
There, there's a way, there's like a
glint in their eye that just is unnatural.

1724
01:21:24,171 --> 01:21:26,211
It, it kind of looks like a raster.

1725
01:21:27,561 --> 01:21:30,311
and I can just tell, I just look
in the eye and I see the way the

1726
01:21:30,311 --> 01:21:32,391
light reflects off it, I'm like,
"They had laser eye surgery."

1727
01:21:33,883 --> 01:21:34,713
Dude, that's crazy.

1728
01:21:35,457 --> 01:21:35,847
Yeah.

1729
01:21:36,003 --> 01:21:38,863
Also, they have a, uh, little
comparison guide between the

1730
01:21:38,863 --> 01:21:41,833
Photon Matrix and everything else
you could use against mosquitoes.

1731
01:21:42,533 --> 01:21:46,303
And one of the points is
patented technology, check mark

1732
01:21:48,054 --> 01:21:48,074
It

1733
01:21:48,081 --> 01:21:48,201
oh

1734
01:21:48,344 --> 01:21:48,474
doesn't…

1735
01:21:48,581 --> 01:21:49,141
proud of that

1736
01:21:49,894 --> 01:21:52,794
It's like, "Uh, no one else is
gonna take this. We have it,

1737
01:21:52,794 --> 01:21:57,064
bitches." It's like, oh, dude.

1738
01:21:57,324 --> 01:21:57,934
I don't know.

1739
01:21:57,934 --> 01:22:00,364
I feel like that's AI
wrote that potentially.

1740
01:22:00,364 --> 01:22:02,134
Like, why would you brag about that?

1741
01:22:03,134 --> 01:22:03,464
Yeah.

1742
01:22:03,474 --> 01:22:06,314
What, what are the more Let's see.

1743
01:22:07,494 --> 01:22:10,254
Mosquitoes flying up to
one meter per second.

1744
01:22:10,997 --> 01:22:11,247
I

1745
01:22:11,414 --> 01:22:11,544
How

1746
01:22:11,547 --> 01:22:16,217
will have to say I apologize for
the listeners for this last bit.

1747
01:22:16,217 --> 01:22:18,277
You might need to go to
YouTube and watch this.

1748
01:22:19,512 --> 01:22:20,002
Yeah

1749
01:22:20,442 --> 01:22:21,512
Just look at the website.

1750
01:22:22,682 --> 01:22:23,682
We should've said that earlier

1751
01:22:24,682 --> 01:22:25,612
Yeah, you can go to the website.

1752
01:22:25,702 --> 01:22:26,102
Yeah

1753
01:22:26,465 --> 01:22:31,775
I would, I would like, I would like to
try this at least, um, in my backyard.

1754
01:22:33,415 --> 01:22:34,475
Bro, look at that.

1755
01:22:34,865 --> 01:22:35,325
It just

1756
01:22:35,365 --> 01:22:35,615
Just,

1757
01:22:35,635 --> 01:22:36,915
fries the mosquito

1758
01:22:37,355 --> 01:22:39,055
shrunk him up, shriveled him up

1759
01:22:40,055 --> 01:22:41,055
Look at that light show.

1760
01:22:41,065 --> 01:22:41,735
Holy crap.

1761
01:22:43,090 --> 01:22:47,280
This is how you devastate an
ecosystem in, like, one day

1762
01:22:47,496 --> 01:22:47,696
Yeah.

1763
01:22:48,516 --> 01:22:48,756
Yeah.

1764
01:22:50,687 --> 01:22:54,197
I've heard if you were to, like,
completely eradicate mosquitoes,

1765
01:22:54,217 --> 01:22:56,527
it wouldn't affect the, it wouldn't
affect the ecologically at all

1766
01:22:57,533 --> 01:22:58,333
That can't be

1767
01:22:58,670 --> 01:23:00,470
That's the opposite of what I've heard.

1768
01:23:00,700 --> 01:23:06,310
Uh, mosquitoes are a huge food source
for a lot of different animals.

1769
01:23:06,590 --> 01:23:12,160
That being said, um, that's why they,
they re-release the, um, mosquitoes so

1770
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:16,040
they can't either re- well, reproducing's
bad, but like they don't carry the,

1771
01:23:16,050 --> 01:23:17,400
they can't carry certain things.

1772
01:23:18,610 --> 01:23:19,760
That being said, who knows?

1773
01:23:19,810 --> 01:23:20,420
I don't know.

1774
01:23:20,610 --> 01:23:23,540
That's just I've heard that they're
really big for ecosystems, so

1775
01:23:24,211 --> 01:23:28,881
Well, realistically though, you can't
really eradicate the same way we sometimes

1776
01:23:28,881 --> 01:23:31,031
like to do so, you know what I'm saying?

1777
01:23:31,770 --> 01:23:37,660
No, they probab- I know, but what they
do is… I know, but what they're, what

1778
01:23:37,660 --> 01:23:41,180
they can do is they go and take and
genetically modify so that they can,

1779
01:23:41,220 --> 01:23:48,890
like, their, um, when they breed, their
eggs are, uh, do not form properly, and

1780
01:23:48,890 --> 01:23:51,190
so they can kill off swaths of them.

1781
01:23:51,190 --> 01:23:53,540
So if you re- if you get enough
and you spread it enough, you

1782
01:23:53,550 --> 01:23:54,600
could probably kill them all off.

1783
01:23:55,420 --> 01:23:56,980
It'd be a big feat, but you could.

1784
01:23:56,980 --> 01:24:01,580
I just don't, like… It probably wouldn't
end well either for the ecosystems

1785
01:24:02,580 --> 01:24:05,140
But it's hard to ha- it's hard
to, it's hard to sympathize

1786
01:24:05,140 --> 01:24:07,470
with mosquitoes though Ugh

1787
01:24:08,470 --> 01:24:11,200
Oh, noticed, High Tech, you're googling.

1788
01:24:11,700 --> 01:24:19,070
I want, I wanted to mention that I
bought a, uh, a subscription to Cogi, um,

1789
01:24:19,139 --> 01:24:19,149
Hmm.

1790
01:24:19,860 --> 01:24:25,060
and it, it produces… It like,
dude, w- uh, I talked about earlier

1791
01:24:25,060 --> 01:24:30,000
how I, like, switched from Ghost
to, uh, I switched Ghost to, um,

1792
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,010
a s- uh, an object storage, right?

1793
01:24:34,137 --> 01:24:34,647
Mm-hmm.

1794
01:24:34,980 --> 01:24:43,200
If you, google Ghost S3 storage, the
first thing that comes up bullshit.

1795
01:24:43,300 --> 01:24:47,240
It's like total… Like, click that
first one right there, the actual result.

1796
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:55,670
No, th- that one It, those, the, the,
it links to two different, Git repos,

1797
01:24:55,980 --> 01:25:02,900
both of which are at least eight years
old not even compatible with the, um,

1798
01:25:03,140 --> 01:25:09,160
with, like, running it as a, a, as
a fricking Docker container, right?

1799
01:25:09,580 --> 01:25:16,670
Coggy, this, the third result took me to
the correct for setting up object storage,

1800
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:20,480
and the correct documentation for object
storage doesn't even appear on Google

1801
01:25:21,323 --> 01:25:21,333
Hmm.

1802
01:25:22,032 --> 01:25:23,092
Interesting

1803
01:25:24,222 --> 01:25:26,532
Kagi is so much better for search.

1804
01:25:26,812 --> 01:25:32,482
It's $100 a year, uh, and it's,
I mean, for unlimited searches,

1805
01:25:32,522 --> 01:25:33,762
and it's fricking awesome

1806
01:25:34,762 --> 01:25:36,042
$100 a year you said?

1807
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,670
if you click annually, it's like 105 bucks

1808
01:25:40,037 --> 01:25:40,917
I'll stick with

1809
01:25:40,980 --> 01:25:41,120
to

1810
01:25:41,577 --> 01:25:46,717
my ChatGPT and ask it, "Hey, how do I
do this?" And it just gets it wrong.

1811
01:25:47,407 --> 01:25:48,047
It's okay though.

1812
01:25:48,487 --> 01:25:48,817
At least, at

1813
01:25:49,254 --> 01:25:49,634
Yeah

1814
01:25:49,867 --> 01:25:51,317
least it's not Google with ads.

1815
01:25:51,517 --> 01:25:54,227
Except for they're thinking about
adding, I think, ads to ChatGPT.

1816
01:25:54,237 --> 01:25:55,597
I was kidding about ChatGPT by the way.

1817
01:25:56,097 --> 01:25:56,947
I, I use Claude.

1818
01:25:57,217 --> 01:26:01,277
Um, but they are thinking about adding
ads into ChatGPT from my understanding,

1819
01:26:01,277 --> 01:26:02,347
which I'm just like, "Oh great.

1820
01:26:02,817 --> 01:26:02,927
Yay."

1821
01:26:03,430 --> 01:26:03,770
Yeah

1822
01:26:03,867 --> 01:26:07,667
one of the nice things about using any of
the AI stuff is that there's no ads in it

1823
01:26:08,667 --> 01:26:11,157
Sponsored by yada, yada, yada

1824
01:26:12,106 --> 01:26:12,536
Ja

1825
01:26:12,853 --> 01:26:13,173
Yeah.

1826
01:26:13,883 --> 01:26:17,583
It'll be interesting to see
how, um, how ad blockers block

1827
01:26:17,623 --> 01:26:20,843
search or ads in, um, ChatGPT.

1828
01:26:21,563 --> 01:26:22,153
That'd be funny

1829
01:26:23,153 --> 01:26:24,483
Is such a thing even possible?

1830
01:26:25,821 --> 01:26:26,071
I don't know.

1831
01:26:26,661 --> 01:26:29,331
I mean, they'd, they'd have to
disclose, like legally they have to

1832
01:26:29,331 --> 01:26:30,671
disclose when something's sponsored

1833
01:26:32,268 --> 01:26:33,318
They control the desktops.

1834
01:26:33,338 --> 01:26:35,338
You could probably do
it in the website maybe.

1835
01:26:35,378 --> 01:26:36,318
Yeah, it's interesting.

1836
01:26:36,378 --> 01:26:36,918
We'll see.

1837
01:26:37,048 --> 01:26:41,418
I mean, Claude's not mentioning
it, but so competition

1838
01:26:41,428 --> 01:26:42,658
hopefully would help with that.

1839
01:26:43,348 --> 01:26:43,808
I don't know

1840
01:26:45,529 --> 01:26:46,209
We shall see.

1841
01:26:46,219 --> 01:26:49,509
But I think that I, don't
think I have much more to say

1842
01:26:49,509 --> 01:26:51,449
on the, uh, on our topics.

1843
01:26:51,459 --> 01:26:53,149
You guys have any more thing more to say?

1844
01:26:53,974 --> 01:26:54,304
No.

1845
01:26:56,244 --> 01:26:59,874
This is… All I gotta say is this
will be a fun, very fun episode to edit

1846
01:27:01,585 --> 01:27:03,565
Yeah, 'cause I, 'cause I blue screened

1847
01:27:04,546 --> 01:27:07,866
He blue screened and then my kid
comes into the view, which is not

1848
01:27:08,866 --> 01:27:09,316
But yeah

1849
01:27:09,398 --> 01:27:10,868
You can put like a blur over their face

1850
01:27:11,653 --> 01:27:13,033
Yeah, let's, let's work.

1851
01:27:16,208 --> 01:27:16,588
Yep.

1852
01:27:18,478 --> 01:27:19,438
Uh, yeah.

1853
01:27:19,488 --> 01:27:21,018
Well, thank you guys for watching

1854
01:27:21,121 --> 01:27:21,401
Ooh.

1855
01:27:22,451 --> 01:27:26,911
Yes, thank you guys for
visiting, watching, consuming.

1856
01:27:28,021 --> 01:27:31,561
Do we even tell them to like and subscribe
or anything like that in the beginning?

1857
01:27:31,690 --> 01:27:31,920
Yeah,

1858
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:32,030
But

1859
01:27:32,030 --> 01:27:32,330
did.

1860
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:32,610
It…

1861
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:33,510
we did earlier

1862
01:27:33,831 --> 01:27:34,251
Okay.

1863
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:34,870
yeah

1864
01:27:35,631 --> 01:27:35,991
Where was I?

1865
01:27:36,304 --> 01:27:37,734
But do it again if you haven't

1866
01:27:38,632 --> 01:27:40,892
Like and subscribe and share
with all of your friends

1867
01:27:42,192 --> 01:27:42,492
Yeah

1868
01:27:42,767 --> 01:27:43,357
Let's get there.

1869
01:27:43,657 --> 01:27:49,697
40. As of right now, 40 subscribers
away from hitting the 1,000.

1870
01:27:49,697 --> 01:27:52,677
We have really good metrics, it's
just people aren't subscribing, so

1871
01:27:53,844 --> 01:27:55,634
We need subscribers.

1872
01:27:56,074 --> 01:27:56,934
It helps us a lot

1873
01:27:58,232 --> 01:27:58,522
Yeah.

1874
01:27:58,572 --> 01:28:02,602
We have a deadline now 'cause YouTube
changed the, the monetization again.

1875
01:28:04,133 --> 01:28:04,633
Yes

1876
01:28:04,942 --> 01:28:06,082
sooner rather than later

1877
01:28:07,909 --> 01:28:10,689
So even if you listen to this
or, um, go over to YouTube

1878
01:28:10,689 --> 01:28:11,899
and subscribe, it'll help us.

1879
01:28:12,279 --> 01:28:15,629
Um, either way is fine, like in
the sense of like you can consume

1880
01:28:15,629 --> 01:28:17,359
whatever, but support where you can

1881
01:28:18,164 --> 01:28:19,384
With that being said, are we done?

1882
01:28:19,854 --> 01:28:20,774

1883
01:28:20,783 --> 01:28:20,933

1884
01:28:21,603 --> 01:28:22,043

01:28:22,084 --> 01:28:22,424

01:28:23,604 --> 01:28:24,554

1887
01:28:24,844 --> 01:28:25,174
