1
00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:04,099
I'm so out of the competitive fighting
2
00:00:04,099 --> 00:00:05,666
game that when I went
3
00:00:05,666 --> 00:00:06,833
over here to this tab,
4
00:00:07,433 --> 00:00:08,166
I thought this was
5
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:09,333
Wolverine for a second.
6
00:00:09,833 --> 00:00:10,033
What?
7
00:00:10,733 --> 00:00:12,166
What? I was like, what is it?
8
00:00:12,166 --> 00:00:13,066
Am I on the wrong tab?
9
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:14,033
And then I thought
10
00:00:14,033 --> 00:00:15,433
this was a Van Halen logo.
11
00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:25,366
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to
12
00:00:25,366 --> 00:00:27,133
another episode of Off the Console.
13
00:00:27,766 --> 00:00:29,133
My name is Gardner. I'm
14
00:00:29,133 --> 00:00:30,533
joined by my friends High Tech,
15
00:00:30,533 --> 00:00:32,033
Low Life and James, aka
16
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:33,466
The Brink. What's up, guys?
17
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:41,133
Off the Console is the hottest new thing
18
00:00:41,133 --> 00:00:44,766
in tech and gaming and everything nerdy.
19
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:47,000
And we're going to be talking about some
20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,133
awesome, like, and some
21
00:00:49,133 --> 00:00:51,033
kind of scary topics today.
22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,766
The big one is EA being bought by Saudi
23
00:00:55,766 --> 00:00:57,266
Arabia and Jared Kushner,
24
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:59,200
which we'll get into shortly.
25
00:01:00,066 --> 00:01:02,600
We're also talking about Xbox Game Pass,
26
00:01:02,866 --> 00:01:03,899
the price being
27
00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:05,733
increased, which, you know,
28
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,133
completes Microsoft's euthanasia arc of
29
00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:11,466
Xbox. Then we've got the
30
00:01:11,466 --> 00:01:14,266
RGLIX, whatever the heck,
31
00:01:14,766 --> 00:01:16,333
shipping early to people in France.
32
00:01:17,099 --> 00:01:18,866
That's fun and a whole lot more.
33
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,833
So make sure you get subscribed to the
34
00:01:20,833 --> 00:01:22,366
channel so you don't miss
35
00:01:22,366 --> 00:01:23,933
new episodes as they come out.
36
00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:27,033
We're also on the Fetaverse at Off the
37
00:01:27,033 --> 00:01:29,533
Console show at what is it?
38
00:01:29,533 --> 00:01:31,366
I get this wrong all the time. At Off the
39
00:01:31,366 --> 00:01:33,766
Console show at podcast.subscribe2.me.
40
00:01:35,066 --> 00:01:37,233
And you can follow our RSS feed anywhere
41
00:01:37,233 --> 00:01:39,266
you listen to podcasts.
42
00:01:41,066 --> 00:01:43,266
Without further ado, let's get into the
43
00:01:43,266 --> 00:01:47,033
show, guys. The big topic this morning.
44
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:50,533
Oh, wait, actually, no, we do. It's been
45
00:01:50,533 --> 00:01:52,133
two weeks since I've been here. Sorry.
46
00:01:53,933 --> 00:01:55,333
We like to start to show off by talking
47
00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:56,133
about the things we've
48
00:01:56,133 --> 00:01:59,233
done in the prior week. So,
49
00:01:59,633 --> 00:02:01,633
hi, Tech, what have you been playing, AKA
50
00:02:01,633 --> 00:02:03,099
or slash doing on the
51
00:02:03,099 --> 00:02:04,766
on in your free time?
52
00:02:05,233 --> 00:02:07,866
So the document sheet still says
53
00:02:07,866 --> 00:02:09,666
Silksong, but I've been
54
00:02:09,666 --> 00:02:11,266
getting back into Diablo 4.
55
00:02:11,266 --> 00:02:16,933
And I've also, but also the press portal
56
00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:20,666
for the next fest demos has come out.
57
00:02:20,666 --> 00:02:22,433
So there are some next fest demos
58
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:26,266
available, which means I've been looking
59
00:02:26,266 --> 00:02:27,533
into playing some of those.
60
00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:29,533
And I think one of the ones I've played
61
00:02:29,533 --> 00:02:30,533
right now that's super
62
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:31,633
interesting is a game called
63
00:02:31,633 --> 00:02:33,966
Alabaster Dawn, which is made by the same
64
00:02:33,966 --> 00:02:36,099
guys that made CrossCode.
65
00:02:36,766 --> 00:02:37,566
And my God, it's like the
66
00:02:37,633 --> 00:02:39,766
most gorgeous looking pixel art like in
67
00:02:39,766 --> 00:02:40,699
motion that I've ever seen.
68
00:02:40,966 --> 00:02:42,633
You have to you have to see
69
00:02:42,633 --> 00:02:45,033
it to believe it. So it's like a top down
70
00:02:45,033 --> 00:02:46,633
sort of action game. Like
71
00:02:46,633 --> 00:02:47,833
you guys have played CrossCode,
72
00:02:47,833 --> 00:02:49,966
right? Oh, yeah, CrossCode is awesome.
73
00:02:50,333 --> 00:02:51,666
Yeah, it's very I think the
74
00:02:51,666 --> 00:02:52,866
gameplay is very similar to
75
00:02:52,866 --> 00:02:55,133
CrossCode, of course, same developers.
76
00:02:55,666 --> 00:02:58,866
Now, the question is CrossCode was
77
00:02:58,866 --> 00:03:00,366
released. It was like
78
00:03:00,466 --> 00:03:03,566
written in HTML and JavaScript. Right.
79
00:03:03,766 --> 00:03:06,166
This is also released. This is also
80
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,933
OK. HTML5 as well. Yeah,
81
00:03:08,933 --> 00:03:11,166
that's so sick. I love that.
82
00:03:13,466 --> 00:03:15,333
Yeah. As a web
83
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:17,000
developer, that tickled me.
84
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,766
Wow, dude, this looks amazing. I'm really
85
00:03:20,766 --> 00:03:21,966
excited to check it out.
86
00:03:22,533 --> 00:03:24,133
Dude, I still can't believe this is made
87
00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:25,866
in like a web browser, like
88
00:03:25,866 --> 00:03:26,966
made to run in a web browser,
89
00:03:27,033 --> 00:03:29,933
basically. Yeah. So for the audio
90
00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:31,199
listeners, it's kind of
91
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:32,533
like a two point five D
92
00:03:33,766 --> 00:03:36,300
like world inhabited by pixel art
93
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,766
characters. And it just looks and it's
94
00:03:40,766 --> 00:03:41,766
running in a web browser,
95
00:03:41,766 --> 00:03:44,000
which is wild. But you wouldn't know, you
96
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,733
know, it's like I think
97
00:03:44,733 --> 00:03:46,699
it's a Firefox kiosk mode.
98
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,333
Right. Like it's pretty neat. Oh,
99
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:50,466
interesting. I don't know. I haven't I
100
00:03:50,466 --> 00:03:51,366
haven't evaluated the
101
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,266
actual file, the actual executables.
102
00:03:54,866 --> 00:03:55,699
Yeah, it is two point five
103
00:03:55,699 --> 00:03:57,133
D. But like, you know how like
104
00:03:57,266 --> 00:04:00,533
most two point five games have like 3D
105
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:01,566
models for like the terrain
106
00:04:01,566 --> 00:04:03,366
and whatnot. Yeah. This has like
107
00:04:03,566 --> 00:04:06,133
pixel art for the terrain. And yeah, I
108
00:04:06,133 --> 00:04:08,433
was going to say it like it
109
00:04:08,433 --> 00:04:11,266
has that that feel where like
110
00:04:11,366 --> 00:04:13,533
it's not it doesn't feel like it's like
111
00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:16,966
exclusively like 3D geometry.
112
00:04:17,266 --> 00:04:18,633
Like the I don't know if the
113
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,199
textures are fully pixel art or if it's
114
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,633
like doing some kind of
115
00:04:22,633 --> 00:04:25,533
like, like perspective
116
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:29,833
manipulation on on on sprites to make
117
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:32,066
them appear 3D. But it looks really cool.
118
00:04:33,266 --> 00:04:34,866
Yeah, that that's probably one of my
119
00:04:34,866 --> 00:04:35,966
favorite demos I've tried out
120
00:04:35,966 --> 00:04:37,699
right now. That said, not all
121
00:04:37,699 --> 00:04:39,833
demos have been released yet, of course.
122
00:04:40,433 --> 00:04:41,800
So it's only a matter of
123
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,933
time before I try them all out.
124
00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:46,933
Or try out as many as I can potentially.
125
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:49,633
But yeah, that's what
126
00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:50,466
I've been doing this week.
127
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:51,766
I guess I could talk
128
00:04:51,766 --> 00:04:52,633
about what I've been doing.
129
00:04:53,066 --> 00:04:57,233
I and then we'll get to like what
130
00:04:57,233 --> 00:04:58,233
gardeners because gardeners have been
131
00:04:58,233 --> 00:04:59,233
gone for a little bit.
132
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:02,966
And yeah, you have a lot of good stuff. I
133
00:05:02,966 --> 00:05:03,966
have been messing around
134
00:05:03,966 --> 00:05:07,033
with lossless and FSR four
135
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,966
on the steam deck. And I am both really
136
00:05:10,966 --> 00:05:13,033
impressed and also a little disappointed
137
00:05:14,066 --> 00:05:15,800
because the input lag is a little bit
138
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,600
high on some of the
139
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,966
games. Some games actually
140
00:05:18,466 --> 00:05:20,733
isn't too bad, but the loss. Yeah,
141
00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:21,766
there's some input lag.
142
00:05:22,133 --> 00:05:23,366
And if it's an action game,
143
00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:27,100
that really matters. And so have you guys
144
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,066
played around with the
145
00:05:28,066 --> 00:05:30,000
lossless stuff or FSR
146
00:05:30,066 --> 00:05:34,033
four for the steam deck yet? No, no. It's
147
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:35,366
impressive. And
148
00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:36,466
honestly, if they baked it
149
00:05:36,466 --> 00:05:38,533
into the steam deck, which they could,
150
00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:39,233
because right now you have
151
00:05:39,233 --> 00:05:40,300
to do it through like the
152
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,833
decky loader. And then you also have to
153
00:05:45,833 --> 00:05:48,000
get like a pre-release of
154
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,866
the lossless or like a certain
155
00:05:49,866 --> 00:05:52,800
plugin to end yet the by lossless on
156
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,166
steam and all that. It's impressive,
157
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:56,066
especially if you only
158
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:58,399
have a steam deck, like it definitely
159
00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,766
will extend the life of it,
160
00:05:59,766 --> 00:06:01,566
but it also has a little bit of
161
00:06:01,566 --> 00:06:04,133
that input lag, depending on how, because
162
00:06:04,133 --> 00:06:05,266
you can adjust the lossless
163
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:06,566
to be like two times and then
164
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,600
you can increase your frame rate. And it
165
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,566
very much does so, but a
166
00:06:12,566 --> 00:06:13,733
little bit at the cost of input,
167
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:18,033
like controller input. So it's definitely
168
00:06:18,033 --> 00:06:20,333
worth it. And I was, if it
169
00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:21,233
was going to work perfect,
170
00:06:21,433 --> 00:06:24,433
then I would potentially have switched
171
00:06:24,433 --> 00:06:26,533
over to like, maybe wouldn't
172
00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:27,866
have gotten the Xbox handheld,
173
00:06:27,866 --> 00:06:29,100
but I'm thinking about still getting
174
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:32,666
that. But it's pretty interesting. It
175
00:06:32,666 --> 00:06:33,433
doesn't work for everyone.
176
00:06:33,433 --> 00:06:36,699
A thousand dollar handheld? Yeah, but I
177
00:06:36,699 --> 00:06:38,000
can write it off on taxes if I do a
178
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,966
couple of videos on it.
179
00:06:38,966 --> 00:06:42,433
So I have some taxes coming up next year.
180
00:06:44,633 --> 00:06:46,133
And I'm going to, but
181
00:06:46,133 --> 00:06:50,466
yeah, it doesn't, it works for
182
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,066
DirectX 11 and 12, just as a note too for
183
00:06:53,066 --> 00:06:54,133
anyone that's so if the
184
00:06:54,133 --> 00:06:55,733
game supports DirectX 11 or 12,
185
00:06:56,433 --> 00:07:01,333
it uses like DLSS and then tricks it into
186
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:02,600
using FSR. It's a whole
187
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,666
thing. But yeah, between that and
188
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,833
playing the dwarf game, Deep Rock
189
00:07:13,833 --> 00:07:16,600
Galactic, survivor,
190
00:07:17,833 --> 00:07:18,699
survivor. That's what I've been doing
191
00:07:18,733 --> 00:07:24,266
this week. It's really fun. Nice. Nice. I
192
00:07:24,266 --> 00:07:24,866
know some guys that
193
00:07:24,866 --> 00:07:26,100
like Deep Rock Galactic,
194
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,800
like the actual game though. I like both
195
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,633
a lot. I just, I don't play,
196
00:07:33,633 --> 00:07:34,433
I don't have anyone to play
197
00:07:34,433 --> 00:07:36,433
with. So I play by myself with the
198
00:07:36,433 --> 00:07:38,466
survivor. That's fair enough.
199
00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:41,066
And I think Gardner had some
200
00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:43,066
interesting stories to tell us. He was a
201
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:44,766
summer special last week.
202
00:07:45,633 --> 00:07:47,066
Yeah, I was in Berlin, Germany
203
00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:49,666
last week. That's why I wasn't on the
204
00:07:49,666 --> 00:07:53,399
podcast. And that was quite
205
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,733
fun. Damn. Tell us about it,
206
00:07:56,733 --> 00:07:59,366
man. What were you doing there? I was
207
00:07:59,366 --> 00:08:03,533
doing a tour of Europe, checking out fast
208
00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:04,466
food restaurants and
209
00:08:04,466 --> 00:08:06,066
how they differ from the United States.
210
00:08:06,466 --> 00:08:07,833
Just kidding. I was actually
211
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:09,066
at the next cloud conference.
212
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:14,933
No, dude, the next cloud conference was
213
00:08:14,933 --> 00:08:19,766
sick, man. Here, I'll show a little
214
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:20,866
slideshow presentation.
215
00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:25,100
So this was my press badge. I was a
216
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,300
member of the press. Yeah.
217
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,666
Really, really fun. Yeah,
218
00:08:30,666 --> 00:08:32,033
which is weird to me because I don't
219
00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:34,466
think of myself as a press guy. But-
220
00:08:34,466 --> 00:08:38,299
I mean, I think we all qualify as quote
221
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,100
unquote press, even if we're not like
222
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:41,600
with a press outlet.
223
00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:43,933
Gardner Bryant counts as a press outlet,
224
00:08:43,933 --> 00:08:46,166
I guess. But this was me after my
225
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,200
interview with Frank,
226
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,466
the CEO of Next Cloud, which was really
227
00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:52,866
cool. And that's Tech Lord.
228
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,366
You guys know Tech Lord, Henry?
229
00:08:55,866 --> 00:08:58,466
Tech Lord or Tech Lord? Lore, L-O-R-E.
230
00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:00,700
Oh, that would have not something
231
00:09:00,733 --> 00:09:04,799
feels named Tech Lord. Tech Lord. But no,
232
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:05,666
I don't know who he is.
233
00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:07,533
Yeah. So I met Tech Lord.
234
00:09:07,899 --> 00:09:12,600
He does privacy stuff on YouTube and on
235
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,866
PeerTube, and we actually
236
00:09:13,866 --> 00:09:15,066
have our instances peered,
237
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:17,866
which is nice. And then also I met
238
00:09:17,866 --> 00:09:19,933
Brandon Hopkins from Tech
239
00:09:19,933 --> 00:09:21,933
Hut, which was he's a really
240
00:09:21,933 --> 00:09:23,433
cool dude. I bet we could get them on the
241
00:09:23,433 --> 00:09:27,633
podcast at some point. Oh, I
242
00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:28,466
thought that guy on the side
243
00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:32,133
was Linux Torvalds. Kind of looked like,
244
00:09:32,366 --> 00:09:33,466
yeah, he kind of looks like
245
00:09:33,466 --> 00:09:34,733
Linus a little bit. That's
246
00:09:34,733 --> 00:09:37,166
Chris. That was Chris Duff. He's my
247
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:41,366
contact there at Next Cloud. Yeah, it was
248
00:09:41,366 --> 00:09:42,566
great. I made a video,
249
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:46,066
like a vlog about it on my channel. It's
250
00:09:46,066 --> 00:09:48,100
on PeerTube as well. I did
251
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:49,233
an interview. It was like
252
00:09:49,233 --> 00:09:52,466
like an eight minute video with Frank
253
00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:55,666
from Next Cloud. And I had a lot of fun.
254
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:59,466
It was very, very rewarding. I got to
255
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:01,366
meet cool people. That
256
00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:02,399
is very nice. Do they make
257
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:05,233
any major announcements or? They dropped
258
00:10:05,233 --> 00:10:08,233
Next Cloud 25, Autumn
259
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:10,133
Edition. They do like three,
260
00:10:10,133 --> 00:10:12,133
I think they do three major releases a
261
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,866
year. Or maybe they do
262
00:10:14,866 --> 00:10:16,466
three releases a year and one of
263
00:10:16,466 --> 00:10:18,133
them's major. I think this was the major
264
00:10:18,133 --> 00:10:21,166
update. It had some cool new features.
265
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:24,266
Like if I understand
266
00:10:24,466 --> 00:10:28,500
correctly, I believe they have some AI
267
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,066
optimization stuff. So Next Cloud
268
00:10:31,066 --> 00:10:33,133
actually supports local and
269
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:36,666
remote AI stuff that you can integrate
270
00:10:36,666 --> 00:10:39,766
like a deep seek or some
271
00:10:39,766 --> 00:10:41,933
kind of image categorization
272
00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:46,566
thing. And you can actually get a similar
273
00:10:46,566 --> 00:10:48,966
experience to Google Photos where it will
274
00:10:49,133 --> 00:10:51,566
scan all your photos and label people,
275
00:10:51,966 --> 00:10:53,433
like familiar faces or
276
00:10:53,433 --> 00:10:55,366
objects or whatever. You can
277
00:10:55,366 --> 00:10:57,133
do that with Next Cloud now, which is
278
00:10:57,133 --> 00:11:01,133
really sick. Next Cloud Talk is also like
279
00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:03,833
this Microsoft Teams
280
00:11:03,833 --> 00:11:07,100
Mattermost situation. And it's like a
281
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:08,433
drop in replacement in a
282
00:11:08,433 --> 00:11:10,633
lot of ways for Slack and that
283
00:11:10,633 --> 00:11:12,733
kind of shit. And that got some big
284
00:11:12,733 --> 00:11:16,766
updates. And there were like, they had
285
00:11:16,766 --> 00:11:18,466
400 people sign up for
286
00:11:18,566 --> 00:11:22,133
the event to go to the event. And they
287
00:11:22,133 --> 00:11:25,266
had numbers differed, but
288
00:11:25,266 --> 00:11:26,766
they had about 330 people
289
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:28,833
actually show up. And then a bunch of
290
00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:31,333
people just were passing by
291
00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:33,733
the venue, saw Next Cloud and
292
00:11:33,733 --> 00:11:35,000
were like, "Hey, that's cool. I'm going
293
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,033
to go check that out." So
294
00:11:36,033 --> 00:11:37,200
there were people coming in
295
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,733
off the streets to like hang out with the
296
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,366
Next Cloud group. It's
297
00:11:41,366 --> 00:11:42,100
pretty sad. That's cool.
298
00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:46,600
That is pretty cool. Now, aside from Next
299
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,600
Cloud, did you go
300
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,466
anywhere else in Germany?
301
00:11:48,933 --> 00:11:51,266
Did you have some local German food? Did
302
00:11:51,266 --> 00:11:53,066
you go to Octoberfest?
303
00:11:53,866 --> 00:11:57,066
I had a beer. Okay. I'm a type one
304
00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:59,033
diabetic. So I had a beer and that was a
305
00:11:59,033 --> 00:12:00,299
huge mistake because
306
00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:03,133
like it made my blood sugar go very low,
307
00:12:03,133 --> 00:12:05,233
very quickly. And it was
308
00:12:05,233 --> 00:12:06,133
unpredictable for the next
309
00:12:06,166 --> 00:12:10,633
two days. So that was cool. But I had a
310
00:12:10,633 --> 00:12:11,733
beer and it was delicious.
311
00:12:12,033 --> 00:12:13,200
Like I love beer and I wish I
312
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,766
could drink it more often. And then so
313
00:12:16,766 --> 00:12:18,433
not too much Oktoberfest
314
00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:21,166
thing, but I did have two
315
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:24,933
authentic German dishes. One was called
316
00:12:24,933 --> 00:12:28,200
Rinner-Roulada or something like that.
317
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,633
All that.
318
00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:34,133
Imagine a cinnamon roll, but replace the
319
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:38,933
cinnamon with mushrooms and
320
00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:40,633
then replace the roll with
321
00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:44,633
beef. Oh yeah. Wait, what?
322
00:12:45,366 --> 00:12:46,633
That's a weird way to put it.
323
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,166
Well, I mean, I don't know how to
324
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:49,000
pronounce it. Like, I
325
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,333
mean, literally it's like,
326
00:12:50,666 --> 00:12:53,133
it was like shaved steak kind of. And it
327
00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:55,833
was like mushrooms in
328
00:12:55,833 --> 00:12:57,100
it and it was rolled up.
329
00:12:57,233 --> 00:13:00,000
It's like, oh, yeah. And it was I mean,
330
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,533
dude, it was like this big around
331
00:13:02,066 --> 00:13:04,466
and then it had like it came with like
332
00:13:04,466 --> 00:13:07,899
potato truffles and red
333
00:13:07,899 --> 00:13:11,366
cabbage, like gravy. It was so
334
00:13:11,366 --> 00:13:14,766
delicious. And then I don't remember what
335
00:13:14,766 --> 00:13:15,566
the other one was, but
336
00:13:15,566 --> 00:13:16,733
it was another beef dish.
337
00:13:16,966 --> 00:13:20,299
Oh, it was beef. Yeah, it was good. I
338
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:21,666
didn't have schnitzel
339
00:13:21,666 --> 00:13:23,133
because there's a lot of carbs
340
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,666
and schnitzel. So did you have any donor
341
00:13:25,666 --> 00:13:29,133
kabobs? Dude, OK, I was
342
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,799
recommended to go to like one of
343
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,600
the Turkish kabob places that was right
344
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,233
there. And I didn't have a
345
00:13:35,233 --> 00:13:37,233
chance to because I actually
346
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:39,633
moved my flight back. I was going to be
347
00:13:39,633 --> 00:13:40,933
there for an extra three
348
00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:42,333
days after the conference.
349
00:13:43,033 --> 00:13:45,966
And I had a client emergency that I had
350
00:13:45,966 --> 00:13:47,766
to come home for, which.
351
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:52,466
Oh, damn. Yeah, that was annoying. But I
352
00:13:52,466 --> 00:13:53,166
hate when I hate when
353
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:54,366
that happens to me. And I was
354
00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,200
you know, I was in Japan, I was trying to
355
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,799
go to that famous Omurice place. Kichiki,
356
00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:02,700
the one that's on the one with the guy
357
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,100
that's on YouTube. I'm sure you've I
358
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:04,766
think you've seen it,
359
00:14:04,766 --> 00:14:09,433
right? Sounds familiar. But like he's the
360
00:14:09,433 --> 00:14:10,566
guy that's super excited.
361
00:14:10,566 --> 00:14:11,666
He makes like the perfect
362
00:14:11,666 --> 00:14:14,733
Omurice. And I never got to go when I was
363
00:14:14,733 --> 00:14:15,500
in Kyoto. I was only
364
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,366
in Kyoto for a few days.
365
00:14:16,966 --> 00:14:20,533
Yeah. I still haven't told you everything
366
00:14:20,533 --> 00:14:21,566
about the Japan trip.
367
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:26,233
Yeah, because like it's like it feels
368
00:14:26,233 --> 00:14:27,133
like almost like a haze
369
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:28,166
now, but I have to like
370
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:30,933
I have to recollect a lot of things to.
371
00:14:31,966 --> 00:14:34,299
Yeah, the worst thing about
372
00:14:34,299 --> 00:14:35,733
the client thing is like if
373
00:14:35,733 --> 00:14:39,566
there had been any one technical like on
374
00:14:39,566 --> 00:14:40,366
their team, I could have
375
00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:41,433
like described how to do it
376
00:14:41,433 --> 00:14:44,566
over the phone. But like, well, nobody on
377
00:14:44,566 --> 00:14:45,333
their team would have
378
00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:46,766
been able to to follow my
379
00:14:46,766 --> 00:14:49,266
instructions. So I was like, I have to go
380
00:14:49,266 --> 00:14:51,299
back for this man. If
381
00:14:51,299 --> 00:14:52,133
I was on their team,
382
00:14:52,133 --> 00:14:53,566
I probably could have followed it maybe.
383
00:14:53,933 --> 00:14:55,000
Oh, yeah, dude, it was
384
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,066
really simple. It was just like,
385
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:01,133
unplug this thing and then like run
386
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:02,366
another cable and plug this
387
00:15:02,366 --> 00:15:04,566
in. I well, when I was there,
388
00:15:05,233 --> 00:15:06,733
when I was in Germany and I was talking
389
00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:08,266
to them, they were like,
390
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:09,833
yeah, we can't access the internet
391
00:15:09,933 --> 00:15:12,466
on the point of sale machines. And so I
392
00:15:12,466 --> 00:15:13,566
had no idea what was wrong
393
00:15:13,566 --> 00:15:17,766
and some like long story short,
394
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:19,700
I didn't know what the hell the problem
395
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:20,600
was. And I thought it
396
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,866
was something like way more
397
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,799
problematic. And then I got there and I
398
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:26,633
had to just move some
399
00:15:26,633 --> 00:15:27,899
cables around. I was like,
400
00:15:27,899 --> 00:15:29,933
are you kidding me, dude? I hate when
401
00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:31,933
clients do that shit.
402
00:15:32,533 --> 00:15:33,833
Yeah, it sounds like a lot
403
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:35,266
of fun. I wish. Yeah, maybe.
404
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,566
Yeah, no, Germany was fun. I had a blast,
405
00:15:38,566 --> 00:15:39,533
met a lot of really great
406
00:15:39,533 --> 00:15:41,966
people. And hopefully I can
407
00:15:42,066 --> 00:15:45,433
go back next year for next conference 26,
408
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,366
which would be sick. Sick. Yeah.
409
00:15:49,233 --> 00:15:50,633
Germany or France? I mean, it sounds like
410
00:15:50,633 --> 00:15:51,433
if you live in France,
411
00:15:51,433 --> 00:15:52,333
you get your stuff early.
412
00:15:53,266 --> 00:15:54,100
I know. Right.
413
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,766
About that later. And you're only like,
414
00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:58,866
then you're next door to Germany. So you
415
00:15:58,866 --> 00:15:59,633
can just take a train.
416
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:02,033
Yeah. Go pick up your
417
00:16:02,033 --> 00:16:03,566
early package and head back.
418
00:16:04,566 --> 00:16:07,299
Exactly. Got to move off the console,
419
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:10,966
man. Right. Well, so guys, we got some
420
00:16:10,966 --> 00:16:11,799
major stories we got
421
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:14,566
to jump into. The first one here is
422
00:16:14,566 --> 00:16:17,033
Electronic Arts is being
423
00:16:17,033 --> 00:16:21,266
acquired by the Saudi government
424
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,399
and by some private investors in the US,
425
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,766
which is in no way problematic, right?
426
00:16:29,533 --> 00:16:30,833
EA Sports is in the
427
00:16:30,833 --> 00:16:31,733
private investment firm.
428
00:16:31,766 --> 00:16:36,233
Yeah, it's normally I wouldn't be against
429
00:16:36,233 --> 00:16:39,666
like, I, it's annoying to
430
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:41,233
have companies be on the
431
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:42,933
stock market because then they're that
432
00:16:42,933 --> 00:16:43,866
need to adhere to like
433
00:16:43,866 --> 00:16:45,966
making short term gains. And it
434
00:16:45,966 --> 00:16:47,899
really is like ruins a lot of companies
435
00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:48,866
like Blizzard and stuff.
436
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,933
But also having it privately
437
00:16:51,033 --> 00:16:56,533
owned by these major firms is just as
438
00:16:56,533 --> 00:16:58,666
problematic because they'll squeeze it
439
00:16:58,666 --> 00:17:00,533
for whatever reason.
440
00:17:00,566 --> 00:17:02,166
They'll try to influence how things are
441
00:17:02,166 --> 00:17:04,799
made. They'll yeah. And
442
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,133
Saudi Arabia has a goal
443
00:17:07,766 --> 00:17:09,433
in mind for a lot of this stuff. And then
444
00:17:09,433 --> 00:17:11,166
on top of that, Jared
445
00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:13,233
Kushner being a part of this is.
446
00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:17,566
Another issue on. Yeah.
447
00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:18,466
Man, there's going to be another
448
00:17:18,466 --> 00:17:20,033
political episode, isn't it?
449
00:17:20,866 --> 00:17:22,133
Right out the gate, too.
450
00:17:23,066 --> 00:17:25,433
The biggest news. Yeah, it's the biggest.
451
00:17:25,433 --> 00:17:26,700
It is political. Yeah.
452
00:17:26,733 --> 00:17:28,633
When you have a country that has a
453
00:17:28,633 --> 00:17:30,599
private firm like Saudi
454
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:31,733
Arabia, because they have multiple
455
00:17:31,766 --> 00:17:33,466
private firms and they acquire a lot
456
00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:33,933
because they have a lot
457
00:17:33,933 --> 00:17:34,633
of oil money and they're
458
00:17:34,633 --> 00:17:36,766
diversing, which is actually not a bad
459
00:17:36,766 --> 00:17:37,933
play. It's just Saudi
460
00:17:37,933 --> 00:17:39,866
Arabia. It's not to say anything
461
00:17:39,866 --> 00:17:41,333
bad about people that live there. It's
462
00:17:41,333 --> 00:17:43,433
just, you know, yeah, I
463
00:17:43,433 --> 00:17:44,599
say crap about the US.
464
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:45,633
I say crap about other
465
00:17:45,633 --> 00:17:47,533
countries. It's just problematic.
466
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:49,833
Yeah. Yeah.
467
00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:51,333
I would want the US to own EA.
468
00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:55,733
So. No. So there is a game. There is a
469
00:17:55,733 --> 00:17:57,066
game company that Saudi
470
00:17:57,066 --> 00:17:58,666
Arabia basically owns now
471
00:17:58,666 --> 00:18:00,666
that used to be a pretty big arcade
472
00:18:00,666 --> 00:18:02,233
developer in Japan called S
473
00:18:02,233 --> 00:18:05,533
and K. They made Fatal Fury,
474
00:18:05,533 --> 00:18:09,633
King of Fighters, Metal Slug. Yeah. And
475
00:18:09,633 --> 00:18:10,533
it seems like they're
476
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:11,533
doing pretty well now.
477
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:13,933
I don't think there's any so far. I
478
00:18:13,933 --> 00:18:16,333
haven't seen any effects of the games
479
00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:16,933
that would make it seem
480
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:19,633
like their Saudi influence
481
00:18:19,633 --> 00:18:23,266
perhaps, but. Give it time. Yeah.
482
00:18:23,933 --> 00:18:25,666
What they're doing is they're acquiring
483
00:18:25,666 --> 00:18:27,433
things to help diversify
484
00:18:27,433 --> 00:18:29,633
their portfolio and then they're
485
00:18:29,633 --> 00:18:31,533
trying to bring it to them. So they have
486
00:18:31,533 --> 00:18:32,666
a lot of events coming to
487
00:18:32,666 --> 00:18:35,500
Saudi Arabia. So there's a lot of
488
00:18:35,833 --> 00:18:37,599
trying to wash things in so they can be a
489
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,933
part of it and just give it
490
00:18:40,933 --> 00:18:42,333
time. It will eventually show
491
00:18:42,433 --> 00:18:46,633
it's ugly head, I think. But the the
492
00:18:46,633 --> 00:18:49,266
problem with going there is that they
493
00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:50,266
don't have very good
494
00:18:52,466 --> 00:18:54,566
rights for human for certain humans. And
495
00:18:54,566 --> 00:18:56,333
so. Yeah. Yeah. Like the
496
00:18:56,333 --> 00:18:59,266
thing is with with the Saudis,
497
00:18:59,266 --> 00:19:03,566
like the effect of them owning the these
498
00:19:03,566 --> 00:19:07,233
media conglomerates is
499
00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:09,333
silent. Right. Like that's the
500
00:19:09,366 --> 00:19:12,233
effect. Like you they command and conquer
501
00:19:12,233 --> 00:19:13,766
has always been a bit
502
00:19:13,766 --> 00:19:15,433
tongue in cheek, but it's also
503
00:19:15,433 --> 00:19:19,933
been a little politically incorrect.
504
00:19:20,366 --> 00:19:22,166
Right. If there's ever a
505
00:19:22,166 --> 00:19:23,366
new command and conquer game,
506
00:19:24,166 --> 00:19:25,733
you can bet that like there won't be
507
00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:27,766
anything critical at all
508
00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:30,066
about, you know, and I mean,
509
00:19:30,066 --> 00:19:31,666
command and conquer is like a joke.
510
00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:32,766
Right. Like the story is
511
00:19:32,766 --> 00:19:35,033
foolish. But you take my meaning.
512
00:19:35,533 --> 00:19:37,433
You know, you have like comedians going
513
00:19:37,433 --> 00:19:40,366
over to the reality comedy
514
00:19:40,366 --> 00:19:42,666
festival. And and these are
515
00:19:42,666 --> 00:19:44,233
like and some of these comedians are like
516
00:19:44,233 --> 00:19:46,833
comedians I respected, but they're not
517
00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:47,799
allowed to criticize
518
00:19:48,733 --> 00:19:52,299
the Saudi government or any religion or
519
00:19:52,299 --> 00:19:53,799
anything like that. And it's like, dude,
520
00:19:55,033 --> 00:19:56,599
put a muzzle on your favorite comedian
521
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:57,766
and what are they? They're nothing.
522
00:19:58,333 --> 00:20:00,466
It's the same thing here with with these
523
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:03,033
games. It's very much
524
00:20:03,033 --> 00:20:05,633
they they will see it come to
525
00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:07,500
fruition, I think sooner or later, I will
526
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,733
have to say. And this is bad
527
00:20:09,733 --> 00:20:11,766
on me, but there is one thing
528
00:20:11,766 --> 00:20:13,533
that they could do that make me like
529
00:20:13,533 --> 00:20:16,533
sanctify this relationship
530
00:20:16,533 --> 00:20:17,833
or what others this purchase.
531
00:20:17,833 --> 00:20:19,833
And that's really dead space to remake.
532
00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:22,466
Yeah. But that's just me
533
00:20:22,466 --> 00:20:23,833
being human, I guess. But at the
534
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:25,333
end of the day, I still don't approve of
535
00:20:25,333 --> 00:20:27,733
it. But if you're going to
536
00:20:27,733 --> 00:20:29,066
do something bad like this,
537
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:31,233
might as well I'll ask something. Give us
538
00:20:31,233 --> 00:20:32,333
dead space to maybe the
539
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:33,500
Saudi prince really wants dead
540
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:35,133
space to and three. That's why he did it.
541
00:20:35,133 --> 00:20:38,266
Yes. So we do know about
542
00:20:38,266 --> 00:20:40,666
Mr. Saudi Prince, of course.
543
00:20:41,766 --> 00:20:42,900
We do know about the private medicine
544
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,900
firm. And oh, yes, there he is. Mr.
545
00:20:46,833 --> 00:20:48,333
Saudi Prince. He used to be known as
546
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:49,766
Sweetheart Yukie Yukio,
547
00:20:50,633 --> 00:20:51,900
which was kind of a dumb name.
548
00:20:52,099 --> 00:20:56,200
No offense. Don't don't detect me. No,
549
00:20:56,533 --> 00:20:58,833
you can't go to Saudi Arabia now.
550
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,466
No, I mean, you can't go to Saudi Arabia
551
00:21:03,466 --> 00:21:05,066
if you like look at
552
00:21:05,066 --> 00:21:06,400
this profile and be like,
553
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,900
oh, my God, how embarrassing. Like you're
554
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:09,933
never allowed there anymore.
555
00:21:10,866 --> 00:21:12,766
There is. Yeah. Is that an AI generated
556
00:21:12,766 --> 00:21:14,299
photo? It looks like he could have
557
00:21:14,299 --> 00:21:15,500
afforded a real artist.
558
00:21:16,766 --> 00:21:18,200
He could have afforded like an actual
559
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,566
like manga artist from Japan, like paid
560
00:21:20,566 --> 00:21:21,633
him like handsomely.
561
00:21:22,233 --> 00:21:24,733
Yeah, but it's this way. Yeah, whatever.
562
00:21:25,033 --> 00:21:26,866
But dude, he just bought the A.
563
00:21:27,233 --> 00:21:29,733
Yeah, yeah. Click on click on that era
564
00:21:29,733 --> 00:21:30,666
that like shows all
565
00:21:30,666 --> 00:21:31,799
the previous nicknames.
566
00:21:35,433 --> 00:21:39,866
Yeah, I bought. Oh, my God. Oh, dude.
567
00:21:40,233 --> 00:21:41,966
This right here. Valve.
568
00:21:42,733 --> 00:21:43,333
Valve.
569
00:21:44,833 --> 00:21:48,233
V-A-L-V-E. Valve next.
570
00:21:48,766 --> 00:21:50,333
That is a way valve sounds.
571
00:21:51,033 --> 00:21:52,866
Yeah, that is kind of funny. No, no, I
572
00:21:52,866 --> 00:21:54,833
think he like just put in asterisks.
573
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:58,766
Oh, that's what I think. Yeah. To make
574
00:21:58,766 --> 00:22:00,466
people guess. It's not
575
00:22:00,466 --> 00:22:01,633
going to be valve, obviously,
576
00:22:01,933 --> 00:22:05,933
until, you know, Gabe Newell, hopefully
577
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:07,133
you live long and
578
00:22:07,133 --> 00:22:09,266
prosperous, even if it's on those mega
579
00:22:09,266 --> 00:22:12,933
yachts, I'd prefer you to own valve slash
580
00:22:12,933 --> 00:22:15,133
steam as opposed to the
581
00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:17,799
Saudis. But or Jared Kushner.
582
00:22:18,033 --> 00:22:19,966
You know, you know, the one thing that
583
00:22:19,966 --> 00:22:22,266
really yeah, I didn't make
584
00:22:22,266 --> 00:22:23,733
the connection until they said
585
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,333
until everyone started making a deal
586
00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:27,033
about it being Jared Kushner's company.
587
00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:30,166
That's the one that's more interesting or
588
00:22:30,166 --> 00:22:32,766
more has potentially more
589
00:22:32,766 --> 00:22:35,033
negative. What's the word
590
00:22:35,033 --> 00:22:37,233
I'm looking for implications, so to
591
00:22:37,233 --> 00:22:41,000
speak? Because of those for
592
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,866
those who don't know, Jared
593
00:22:41,866 --> 00:22:44,866
Kushner is the son-in-law of El
594
00:22:44,866 --> 00:22:47,933
Presidente, current sitting El
595
00:22:47,933 --> 00:22:51,866
Presidente. So there is no question
596
00:22:51,866 --> 00:22:53,700
about it that I'm sure he's going to try
597
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:55,433
to make. The big question is
598
00:22:55,433 --> 00:22:56,533
what is he going to do? Is he
599
00:22:56,533 --> 00:22:57,666
I wonder if he's going to make
600
00:22:57,666 --> 00:23:01,866
Battlefield 7 like US propaganda is going
601
00:23:01,866 --> 00:23:02,633
to make he's going to make
602
00:23:02,666 --> 00:23:04,833
it a less shitty version of America's
603
00:23:04,833 --> 00:23:06,666
army. Well, he's not in the
604
00:23:06,666 --> 00:23:09,166
administration this time, is he?
605
00:23:09,433 --> 00:23:12,666
Do not. Yeah, I don't. I don't think he
606
00:23:12,666 --> 00:23:15,033
is. But he gets a lot of deals
607
00:23:15,033 --> 00:23:16,466
like what they say about said
608
00:23:16,466 --> 00:23:19,566
about Hunter Biden, which some of them,
609
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:22,533
you know, probably true. Not going to
610
00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:24,233
defend the dude. But
611
00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:27,066
Jared Kushner is just that's what he's
612
00:23:27,066 --> 00:23:29,433
doing. He just uses names
613
00:23:29,433 --> 00:23:30,766
and all that to get his deals
614
00:23:30,833 --> 00:23:32,200
through. I mean, at this point, we can
615
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,366
tell that Trump doesn't
616
00:23:33,366 --> 00:23:36,966
care. He has a lot of investments
617
00:23:37,366 --> 00:23:41,666
that are just out in the open. Right. So
618
00:23:41,666 --> 00:23:44,466
the big question is whether or not
619
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:46,833
affinity partners is going to just
620
00:23:46,833 --> 00:23:48,833
squeeze EA or if they're going
621
00:23:48,833 --> 00:23:50,666
to turn EA to something else,
622
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:55,366
so to speak. That's my big concern. This
623
00:23:55,366 --> 00:23:56,200
only just happened a few
624
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,866
days ago. So of course,
625
00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:00,366
we don't know for certain. I think this
626
00:24:00,366 --> 00:24:02,433
would have serious red flags even if
627
00:24:03,433 --> 00:24:04,233
the other political
628
00:24:04,233 --> 00:24:07,000
party ODA. Agreed. Yeah.
629
00:24:08,166 --> 00:24:11,933
I don't like you using your political
630
00:24:11,933 --> 00:24:18,133
influence to both like buy and affect
631
00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:21,266
the media like this. Like it needs to be
632
00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:22,700
a little bit less tied to
633
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:23,633
politics, in my opinion.
634
00:24:23,933 --> 00:24:25,533
Yeah. I mean, I have the same problem
635
00:24:25,533 --> 00:24:27,133
with this that I have with
636
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,033
Oracle taking over TikTok. Like
637
00:24:30,033 --> 00:24:33,333
I have the exact same issue. The only
638
00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:36,500
difference is Larry Ellison's like
639
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:38,966
private interests and
640
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,466
Oracle has private interests where the
641
00:24:42,466 --> 00:24:46,433
Saudis and even Jared Kushner have like
642
00:24:48,166 --> 00:24:51,133
possibly more nefarious ambitions. So
643
00:24:51,133 --> 00:24:52,299
that's really the only difference.
644
00:24:52,666 --> 00:24:56,166
It's not like EA is doing well. So I'm
645
00:24:56,166 --> 00:24:57,099
really like there's not
646
00:24:57,099 --> 00:24:58,333
like they're buying it because
647
00:24:58,333 --> 00:25:01,233
it's a great investment. So. Yeah. I
648
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:02,133
mean, the big thing for
649
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:04,033
me is like, I don't care if
650
00:25:04,633 --> 00:25:06,566
I don't care if like EA starts making
651
00:25:06,566 --> 00:25:08,766
great games. If they come
652
00:25:08,766 --> 00:25:10,700
out with like Mirror's Edge 3,
653
00:25:11,333 --> 00:25:13,266
I'm not going to play it. Like if they
654
00:25:13,266 --> 00:25:14,566
come out with Command and
655
00:25:14,566 --> 00:25:16,799
Conquer Red Alert 4, I'm not
656
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,233
going to play it. I'm not going to buy
657
00:25:18,233 --> 00:25:19,266
it. I'm not going to support
658
00:25:19,266 --> 00:25:21,966
EA anymore. And that's been my
659
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,366
policy for a while. And I did make an
660
00:25:24,366 --> 00:25:27,366
exception to buy the Command
661
00:25:27,366 --> 00:25:28,299
and Conquer games that launched
662
00:25:28,299 --> 00:25:33,366
on Steam recently. But like, that's it.
663
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:37,599
Like I'm not going to support this. I
664
00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:38,733
don't believe in it.
665
00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:44,866
I have a very moral issue if it's Dead
666
00:25:44,866 --> 00:25:46,700
Space. But you know what? I'm lucky
667
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:47,500
enough to where they
668
00:25:47,533 --> 00:25:49,766
won't release Dead Space 2 or 3. So.
669
00:25:49,766 --> 00:25:53,266
Yeah. So here's another
670
00:25:53,266 --> 00:25:54,433
thing too about this deal.
671
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:58,066
It's a leveraged buyout, which means EA
672
00:25:58,066 --> 00:26:01,733
owns $20 billion to the
673
00:26:01,733 --> 00:26:05,433
banks. So I mean, that's like a
674
00:26:05,433 --> 00:26:08,466
third of the, that's a little over a
675
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:10,099
third of the amount that, you know, the
676
00:26:10,099 --> 00:26:11,566
Saudis and Jared Kushner
677
00:26:11,666 --> 00:26:14,966
paid for it. The big question now is what
678
00:26:14,966 --> 00:26:16,500
will they do now to pay
679
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,900
that off? Word has it, they
680
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,200
might be trying to leverage AI more and
681
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,366
laying off more people. But the big
682
00:26:25,366 --> 00:26:26,233
question is, does it
683
00:26:26,233 --> 00:26:29,200
spell the end of EA? Are we witnessing
684
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,900
the death of EA as we speak? Quite
685
00:26:32,900 --> 00:26:34,433
possible. No. The average
686
00:26:34,433 --> 00:26:36,233
person's not going to care. They're not
687
00:26:36,233 --> 00:26:38,099
going to realize what's going on. They
688
00:26:38,099 --> 00:26:38,700
just don't have time
689
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,433
to. Well, dude, I mean, EA's not doing
690
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,366
well right now anyway. No, they're not.
691
00:26:43,766 --> 00:26:44,733
But there is still a
692
00:26:44,733 --> 00:26:46,000
chance, like going private to like this
693
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,099
and all that, like there is
694
00:26:47,099 --> 00:26:49,000
actually a better chance of
695
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,900
this, of them succeeding now than doing
696
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:53,400
short term gains like they
697
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,733
were doing with being owned on
698
00:26:54,733 --> 00:26:58,433
the stock market or by, you know, being
699
00:26:58,433 --> 00:27:00,933
on stock market. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we
700
00:27:00,933 --> 00:27:01,500
don't know if they're
701
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,066
still going to try to go for short term
702
00:27:03,066 --> 00:27:04,766
gains. I mean, going private doesn't
703
00:27:04,766 --> 00:27:05,533
necessarily guarantee
704
00:27:05,866 --> 00:27:08,133
that they'll just turn things around. No,
705
00:27:08,133 --> 00:27:09,400
but Saudi Arabia owns
706
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,666
this stuff for a long term,
707
00:27:10,966 --> 00:27:12,833
in my opinion, they diversify because
708
00:27:12,833 --> 00:27:14,366
they know that oil will dry up
709
00:27:14,366 --> 00:27:15,233
eventually. I've read a couple
710
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:17,666
of articles on this already that they
711
00:27:17,666 --> 00:27:20,466
really are trying to diversify because
712
00:27:20,466 --> 00:27:22,333
they know oil is not
713
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:23,666
going to be around. So this is just one
714
00:27:23,666 --> 00:27:24,933
of those things. And I have
715
00:27:24,933 --> 00:27:26,866
a feeling because they don't
716
00:27:26,866 --> 00:27:28,400
need for money, they don't want for money
717
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,733
right now. They're fine
718
00:27:29,733 --> 00:27:31,500
with long term, like getting it
719
00:27:31,533 --> 00:27:34,233
back into a better state. I could see
720
00:27:34,233 --> 00:27:35,466
that Jared Kushner on the
721
00:27:35,466 --> 00:27:36,566
other end. I don't know, like
722
00:27:36,566 --> 00:27:40,133
anything him or the Trump family touches
723
00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:42,900
is almost always kind of a
724
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:45,566
scam run. And so it will be
725
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:47,833
interesting because like right now, the
726
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,200
like upcoming games that EA
727
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,166
is coming out with is like
728
00:27:50,166 --> 00:27:52,666
battle filled six, which is actually
729
00:27:52,666 --> 00:27:55,466
looking okay. Plants versus zombies
730
00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:57,566
replanted, which is interesting.
731
00:27:58,566 --> 00:28:00,433
And then Star Wars Zero Company. Those
732
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:01,533
are the three that I see on
733
00:28:01,533 --> 00:28:02,900
Steam that they're coming out
734
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:04,933
with. And so are they still doing like
735
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,933
football, soccer games?
736
00:28:07,666 --> 00:28:10,033
Yes, they still do, Matt. And I
737
00:28:10,033 --> 00:28:13,733
think they lost. They lost the FIFA
738
00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:15,966
license. They lost the FIFA one. Yeah,
739
00:28:15,966 --> 00:28:17,033
that's probably one of
740
00:28:17,033 --> 00:28:18,933
the biggest blows to EA because like,
741
00:28:18,933 --> 00:28:20,966
yeah, people buy FIFA games. They don't
742
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:23,166
buy fucking FC games.
743
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:25,133
Yeah. Yeah. Look, it would be awesome if
744
00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:26,433
you people buy it because it
745
00:28:26,433 --> 00:28:27,500
said FIFA on it. Now it doesn't
746
00:28:27,533 --> 00:28:30,466
say FIFA. Yeah, no one's buying it. This
747
00:28:30,466 --> 00:28:31,500
is a hard one. Split
748
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:34,799
Fiction is published by EA and
749
00:28:35,666 --> 00:28:37,799
Hayes Light Studios. I actually really
750
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,266
think they deserve to be supported
751
00:28:39,266 --> 00:28:40,500
because they do good work.
752
00:28:41,033 --> 00:28:42,866
That's hard. Yeah. Well, I mean, if they
753
00:28:42,866 --> 00:28:44,733
wanted, if they want to be supported,
754
00:28:44,733 --> 00:28:46,433
they should go with an ethical publisher.
755
00:28:47,033 --> 00:28:49,966
Well, yeah, they I don't
756
00:28:49,966 --> 00:28:51,766
know if they can do that now.
757
00:28:51,766 --> 00:28:52,866
That's a really hard. I don't know if
758
00:28:52,866 --> 00:28:53,700
they could do that now.
759
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:54,299
They'd have to break off.
760
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,033
I think I think it would have to be for
761
00:28:57,033 --> 00:28:58,366
future games. I don't
762
00:28:58,366 --> 00:29:00,333
know. I don't think they can do
763
00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,066
it for all. I don't think Joseph Fares
764
00:29:02,066 --> 00:29:04,166
can do it for all of his currently
765
00:29:04,166 --> 00:29:05,400
released games under EA,
766
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,666
but we shall see. No. Well, the problem
767
00:29:07,666 --> 00:29:08,766
is, is that the studio is
768
00:29:08,766 --> 00:29:10,333
most likely like heavily
769
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:12,466
controlled by the publisher. When you get
770
00:29:12,466 --> 00:29:13,266
into these kind of deals
771
00:29:13,266 --> 00:29:14,566
with EA, you pretty much are
772
00:29:14,566 --> 00:29:16,500
owned by the publisher. So they'd have to
773
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:17,366
break off, create a new
774
00:29:17,366 --> 00:29:18,966
company and start new IPs,
775
00:29:18,966 --> 00:29:21,033
which they it's not like they don't they
776
00:29:21,033 --> 00:29:22,433
usually do new IPs so they
777
00:29:22,433 --> 00:29:23,733
could easily do it. But yeah,
778
00:29:24,733 --> 00:29:28,700
I mean, dude, the thing is like, you
779
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:31,200
know, in the Sims, you know, the next
780
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,099
version of the Sims,
781
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,700
will the will the Saudis like allow gay
782
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:39,733
representation, lesbian representation?
783
00:29:40,633 --> 00:29:41,966
Like, that's really like what this is
784
00:29:41,966 --> 00:29:42,933
coming down to. For me,
785
00:29:42,933 --> 00:29:45,666
it's like, there's going to be
786
00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:51,333
quiet controls and things are just going
787
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:53,033
to disappear. Things
788
00:29:53,033 --> 00:29:54,299
that we take for granted.
789
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:58,233
And and it won't be like overt political
790
00:29:58,233 --> 00:29:59,833
messaging either. It will be like
791
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:02,333
just little things that just start
792
00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:03,933
disappearing. And you don't
793
00:30:03,933 --> 00:30:05,400
notice. Yeah, they'll they'll be
794
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,633
about. And I agree. I think the least
795
00:30:07,633 --> 00:30:08,666
sneaky thing is I bet you
796
00:30:08,666 --> 00:30:09,666
there's going to be a Trump
797
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,666
DLC for Sims Lord of Mercy. I'm not going
798
00:30:14,666 --> 00:30:15,566
to lie. It's going to be
799
00:30:15,566 --> 00:30:17,366
probably like not supposed to be
800
00:30:17,366 --> 00:30:21,099
tongue in cheek, but I don't know, man. I
801
00:30:21,099 --> 00:30:21,933
mean, that doesn't matter
802
00:30:21,933 --> 00:30:22,833
as long as Trump gets paid,
803
00:30:22,866 --> 00:30:25,933
right? But here's the thing. True. Here's
804
00:30:25,933 --> 00:30:26,733
the other thing, too.
805
00:30:31,366 --> 00:30:34,166
EA, I don't know. I mean, I don't know
806
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,033
what to make of this whole
807
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:36,833
situation. EA is being bought
808
00:30:36,833 --> 00:30:38,700
by Saudi raid. That's something that I
809
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:39,566
thought I would have ever
810
00:30:39,566 --> 00:30:42,700
seen. But it's clear that
811
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:45,633
the Saudi government, like first and
812
00:30:45,633 --> 00:30:46,433
foremost, I'm surprised
813
00:30:46,433 --> 00:30:48,333
Saudi even the Saudis even let
814
00:30:48,566 --> 00:30:51,566
Jared Kushner buy a portion of EA because
815
00:30:51,566 --> 00:30:53,066
it's not like they own 100 percent of it.
816
00:30:53,066 --> 00:30:54,233
I don't even know what percent of it they
817
00:30:54,233 --> 00:30:54,933
actually. I don't
818
00:30:54,933 --> 00:30:56,033
know if it's split evenly
819
00:30:56,733 --> 00:30:59,200
or like it's like they are more of it or
820
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,333
Jared Kushner owns more
821
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:01,866
of EA. So that's that.
822
00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:06,866
Jared Kushner is tight with a lot of
823
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:09,766
these different. His firm that he manages
824
00:31:10,233 --> 00:31:11,466
is tight with a lot of these different
825
00:31:11,466 --> 00:31:12,933
countries, including Saudi Arabia. So
826
00:31:12,933 --> 00:31:13,666
this is not actually a
827
00:31:13,666 --> 00:31:17,400
surprise. And oftentimes these firms will
828
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,666
split it with others
829
00:31:18,666 --> 00:31:22,166
because for various reasons, but
830
00:31:22,466 --> 00:31:24,966
there might as well just I don't know.
831
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:25,733
We'd have to get really
832
00:31:25,733 --> 00:31:26,900
deep into this type of stuff,
833
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,033
I think, to understand it. But I'm not
834
00:31:29,033 --> 00:31:31,266
shocked. And I'm not
835
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:33,133
shocked that EA was like, or that
836
00:31:33,133 --> 00:31:34,766
this is starting to happen. And to be
837
00:31:34,766 --> 00:31:38,633
fair, I think every major company that
838
00:31:38,633 --> 00:31:40,233
you that we know of,
839
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:42,400
every major publisher is struggling
840
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,933
because they do short
841
00:31:43,933 --> 00:31:44,799
term gains and they're just
842
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:49,799
fucking themselves over hard. And so EA
843
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:51,166
being sold to now private
844
00:31:51,166 --> 00:31:52,466
expect this to happen to
845
00:31:52,466 --> 00:31:53,566
more and more companies that are
846
00:31:53,566 --> 00:31:56,733
struggling right now. Like a part of me
847
00:31:56,733 --> 00:31:58,500
is kind of glad Microsoft
848
00:31:58,633 --> 00:32:02,299
picked up Blizzard because I would much
849
00:32:02,299 --> 00:32:03,900
rather have Microsoft even
850
00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:04,666
though I'm not, you know,
851
00:32:05,033 --> 00:32:07,733
the biggest Microsoft fan at times, I'd
852
00:32:07,733 --> 00:32:08,633
rather have them owning
853
00:32:08,633 --> 00:32:10,233
it than than Saudi Arabia.
854
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:15,733
Yeah. Also, like that
855
00:32:15,733 --> 00:32:18,966
brings us to our next story.
856
00:32:20,566 --> 00:32:21,466
Game pass.
857
00:32:22,133 --> 00:32:25,299
Game pass. I think there's a through line
858
00:32:25,299 --> 00:32:27,766
between this story and the previous one.
859
00:32:28,566 --> 00:32:29,466
What you were saying,
860
00:32:29,466 --> 00:32:30,066
James, where it's like,
861
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,866
triple A games just are not don't seem to
862
00:32:33,866 --> 00:32:35,133
be profitable anymore.
863
00:32:35,466 --> 00:32:37,733
Like they require so much
864
00:32:37,733 --> 00:32:39,900
money and so much investment and so much
865
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:42,766
time that like, you know,
866
00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:44,733
EA is going private and now
867
00:32:44,733 --> 00:32:47,466
Xbox is raising the price of game pass to
868
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:48,799
the point where game
869
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:50,566
pass ultimate is going to be
870
00:32:50,633 --> 00:32:53,900
basically unaffordable for all but the
871
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,766
biggest whales. Right. Yeah.
872
00:32:57,433 --> 00:33:01,433
Yes and no. I this Xbox game pass
873
00:33:01,433 --> 00:33:04,833
increases a little bit of people miss
874
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:06,233
some of the nuance in it.
875
00:33:06,566 --> 00:33:10,433
But I'm just saying like, I'm not saying
876
00:33:10,433 --> 00:33:11,400
you are or anything like
877
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,433
that, but there's a couple of
878
00:33:12,433 --> 00:33:14,333
things that people don't realize with
879
00:33:14,333 --> 00:33:15,233
this. And that's one of
880
00:33:15,233 --> 00:33:18,000
them is they are increasing the
881
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,366
amount of games that are accessible
882
00:33:19,366 --> 00:33:20,933
through this. So you're getting more
883
00:33:20,933 --> 00:33:23,500
value. But I don't know if
884
00:33:23,533 --> 00:33:25,333
it's a 50 percent increase kind of value
885
00:33:25,333 --> 00:33:26,933
and them doing it so
886
00:33:26,933 --> 00:33:31,366
close to also increasing the
887
00:33:31,366 --> 00:33:33,400
price of the Xbox systems and all that
888
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,733
kind of tell me a little
889
00:33:34,733 --> 00:33:36,466
bit of like they probably had
890
00:33:36,466 --> 00:33:38,433
a lot more wiggle room for those consoles
891
00:33:38,433 --> 00:33:39,733
with tariffs than they
892
00:33:39,733 --> 00:33:40,900
let on because this is like,
893
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,133
OK, if you did that and then increase
894
00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:46,133
this to is kind of making me
895
00:33:46,133 --> 00:33:46,900
think you're just trying to do
896
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:49,666
a whole run the gamut on increasing
897
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:50,766
prices across the board.
898
00:33:51,033 --> 00:33:52,766
This is not a tariff as much,
899
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:54,933
but I still think it is partially a
900
00:33:54,933 --> 00:33:55,733
tariff thing because
901
00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:58,566
other other companies are like
902
00:33:58,566 --> 00:33:59,966
Nintendo and PlayStation are raising
903
00:33:59,966 --> 00:34:01,766
their prices, but like it
904
00:34:01,766 --> 00:34:02,866
doesn't look good for them.
905
00:34:03,266 --> 00:34:05,599
Everything rises. I do agree. It's not
906
00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:07,133
purely like price. Of
907
00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:08,266
course. Yeah. So you offer you
908
00:34:08,333 --> 00:34:10,800
more things. There are a lot of benefits
909
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,400
that game pass does
910
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,833
offer you for games that you
911
00:34:14,833 --> 00:34:16,066
probably wouldn't expect it to like for
912
00:34:16,066 --> 00:34:17,166
like, for example, League of
913
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:19,266
Legends, you have in Valor,
914
00:34:19,266 --> 00:34:20,866
you have access to all the characters.
915
00:34:21,733 --> 00:34:24,099
But like, I don't know if
916
00:34:24,099 --> 00:34:25,366
anyone I don't know if everyone
917
00:34:25,366 --> 00:34:27,633
would want that, though, because like I
918
00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:28,733
don't see the same type of
919
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:29,833
person that has game pass
920
00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:31,466
being the same type of person that also
921
00:34:31,466 --> 00:34:32,466
plays League every day.
922
00:34:33,133 --> 00:34:37,066
You know, well, yeah. So and
923
00:34:37,433 --> 00:34:39,633
also a fortnight to eat. They also just
924
00:34:39,633 --> 00:34:41,266
included a fortnight crew.
925
00:34:42,433 --> 00:34:43,333
I don't exactly know what
926
00:34:43,366 --> 00:34:48,433
fortnight crew gives you, but this is for
927
00:34:48,433 --> 00:34:50,800
Gen Z. It's Gen. The
928
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,233
fortnight crew is generally
929
00:34:52,233 --> 00:34:57,300
twelve dollars a month by itself. And of
930
00:34:57,300 --> 00:34:58,366
course, Ubisoft Plus is
931
00:34:58,366 --> 00:35:00,199
included now as well. Sixteen a
932
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:02,633
month. And I think EA included included
933
00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:05,166
as well. It's just a matter
934
00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:06,366
of whether or not you want all
935
00:35:06,366 --> 00:35:09,033
of this. And personally speaking, if I
936
00:35:09,033 --> 00:35:10,866
were the average consumer, I
937
00:35:10,866 --> 00:35:11,966
would cut up every single one
938
00:35:12,033 --> 00:35:13,533
of those anticipated benefits and just
939
00:35:13,533 --> 00:35:15,333
have a lower Xbox game pass
940
00:35:15,333 --> 00:35:17,433
price. Well, they have that.
941
00:35:17,966 --> 00:35:19,533
So you can see right here, they have
942
00:35:19,533 --> 00:35:21,066
still the essential and the
943
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:24,900
premium. But the if day one,
944
00:35:25,133 --> 00:35:26,266
because they were losing a lot of money
945
00:35:26,266 --> 00:35:27,433
on Call of Duty's releases
946
00:35:27,433 --> 00:35:28,366
in the past few years, and I
947
00:35:28,366 --> 00:35:31,366
don't think I think Microsoft kind of had
948
00:35:31,366 --> 00:35:32,266
to do this because their
949
00:35:32,266 --> 00:35:33,533
shareholders were not happy
950
00:35:33,933 --> 00:35:36,066
with they were they lost the potential.
951
00:35:36,266 --> 00:35:38,000
And this is stupid to say because
952
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,266
potential means nothing.
953
00:35:39,266 --> 00:35:42,233
They think they lost 300 million because
954
00:35:42,233 --> 00:35:43,466
last year's Call of Duty
955
00:35:43,766 --> 00:35:45,400
release didn't make as much because it
956
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,933
was tied to day one of the game pass.
957
00:35:48,266 --> 00:35:49,599
I will say this right now, though, too,
958
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:50,966
with the game pass, this
959
00:35:50,966 --> 00:35:52,466
is a really good deal if you
960
00:35:52,733 --> 00:35:54,633
are able to beat these games pretty
961
00:35:54,633 --> 00:35:56,500
quickly. Like I have a couple of people
962
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:57,566
in my community, they
963
00:35:57,766 --> 00:35:59,599
beat their games within a week in a
964
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:01,533
month. And so this makes
965
00:36:01,533 --> 00:36:03,366
sense. They're getting really good
966
00:36:03,366 --> 00:36:05,266
value, even at 30 dollars, really good
967
00:36:05,266 --> 00:36:07,699
value. But for the average person, even
968
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:08,366
for me, that this is
969
00:36:08,433 --> 00:36:10,766
starting to become I don't beat my games
970
00:36:10,766 --> 00:36:14,366
in a month. It's well, I
971
00:36:14,366 --> 00:36:15,366
was going to say, like,
972
00:36:16,366 --> 00:36:19,766
the fact is that they're adding all this
973
00:36:19,766 --> 00:36:21,233
value, quote, I'm doing
974
00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:22,966
heavy air quotes right now
975
00:36:23,433 --> 00:36:26,133
so that they can justify the price
976
00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:29,966
increase. And what they're really doing
977
00:36:29,966 --> 00:36:32,333
here is trying to push
978
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,266
as many people off of Game Pass Ultimate
979
00:36:35,266 --> 00:36:36,500
so that they have to
980
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:37,833
then go buy the games again,
981
00:36:38,266 --> 00:36:41,599
because games are not you. This is I have
982
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:43,833
been saying since 2020, I
983
00:36:43,833 --> 00:36:45,766
made a video in 2020 saying
984
00:36:46,066 --> 00:36:50,433
Xbox game pass is a scam. And I predicted
985
00:36:50,433 --> 00:36:51,733
almost exactly this
986
00:36:51,733 --> 00:36:54,033
scenario. But they have hit this
987
00:36:54,033 --> 00:36:56,166
time. They they have accelerated the
988
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:57,766
timetable from what I thought
989
00:36:57,766 --> 00:36:59,433
would take 10 years to five.
990
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:03,566
This this they got people addicted to the
991
00:37:03,566 --> 00:37:05,033
idea of a Netflix
992
00:37:05,033 --> 00:37:07,466
Netflix style subscription to
993
00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:11,833
all you can eat games. And and then now
994
00:37:11,833 --> 00:37:13,699
they're increasing the price. I'm a
995
00:37:13,699 --> 00:37:15,433
cynic. This is this is
996
00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:18,566
like clearly what Game Pass was designed
997
00:37:18,566 --> 00:37:20,866
to be. This is exactly the
998
00:37:20,866 --> 00:37:22,233
play that I expected Microsoft
999
00:37:22,233 --> 00:37:24,333
to take. And I am shocked that it only
1000
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:25,466
took them five years and
1001
00:37:25,466 --> 00:37:29,266
not 10. Sorry. Go ahead.
1002
00:37:29,666 --> 00:37:34,166
Go ahead, James. So I don't think it's a
1003
00:37:34,166 --> 00:37:36,766
scam quite yet, but I think
1004
00:37:37,766 --> 00:37:40,933
James, once they lock it behind the like
1005
00:37:40,933 --> 00:37:42,733
the like, let's say a new
1006
00:37:42,733 --> 00:37:43,900
game comes out and you can only
1007
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:47,733
get it when it's on the membership. I
1008
00:37:47,733 --> 00:37:48,766
think it becomes more of a
1009
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:49,699
scam at that point, because I'm
1010
00:37:49,699 --> 00:37:51,266
don't want I don't like that. I like to
1011
00:37:51,266 --> 00:37:52,533
own my games, right? And I
1012
00:37:52,533 --> 00:37:53,400
have a feeling they're trying
1013
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,033
to gear up to to do two things. One, they
1014
00:37:56,033 --> 00:37:57,066
want to start locking some
1015
00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:58,500
games behind membership so they
1016
00:37:58,500 --> 00:38:00,566
don't they can be guaranteed monthly
1017
00:38:00,566 --> 00:38:02,033
income because if you start playing that
1018
00:38:02,033 --> 00:38:03,266
game, you're not like
1019
00:38:03,266 --> 00:38:05,199
for me, like I have doomed the dark ages.
1020
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:06,099
I'm playing on Game Pass.
1021
00:38:06,099 --> 00:38:07,966
I'm like, well, I'm gonna
1022
00:38:07,966 --> 00:38:09,133
have to like, but I'm not on the
1023
00:38:09,133 --> 00:38:10,466
ultimate. I think I could still access
1024
00:38:10,466 --> 00:38:11,300
off the double check
1025
00:38:11,433 --> 00:38:12,599
because I'm on the like they're getting
1026
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:13,666
rid of the PC one, but I
1027
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:15,000
think it's going to be next month.
1028
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,466
So I need to beat doomed dark ages, but
1029
00:38:17,466 --> 00:38:19,166
that's a whole other thing.
1030
00:38:20,133 --> 00:38:23,033
But my my thing is once you
1031
00:38:23,033 --> 00:38:24,433
start getting locked into this, they're
1032
00:38:24,433 --> 00:38:25,633
going to continue increasing
1033
00:38:25,633 --> 00:38:27,333
this price every year or two.
1034
00:38:27,433 --> 00:38:28,666
Yes, this is my problem with
1035
00:38:28,666 --> 00:38:31,066
subscriptions and they've proven it and a
1036
00:38:31,066 --> 00:38:32,466
lot of these companies
1037
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:35,800
right now it used to be a lot cheaper to
1038
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,633
cord cut from cable. Now it
1039
00:38:37,633 --> 00:38:39,066
is just as expensive to get
1040
00:38:39,066 --> 00:38:41,566
all the different services. I'm worried.
1041
00:38:42,766 --> 00:38:45,166
Yeah, it's more expensive. And I'm
1042
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:45,966
starting to actually buy
1043
00:38:45,966 --> 00:38:50,666
my media again. I bought Superman on on
1044
00:38:50,666 --> 00:38:52,566
4k Blu-ray. Yeah, I haven't
1045
00:38:52,566 --> 00:38:53,800
done that yet, but I need to.
1046
00:38:54,866 --> 00:38:56,533
The hard part is it's already out on
1047
00:38:56,533 --> 00:38:57,166
something and I can just
1048
00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:57,966
watch it and I just need to watch
1049
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,766
it one more time and then I'll buy it
1050
00:38:59,766 --> 00:39:00,633
later on when it's on sale.
1051
00:39:00,966 --> 00:39:03,833
But they've got me like these
1052
00:39:03,833 --> 00:39:05,266
subscription services have kind of got
1053
00:39:05,266 --> 00:39:06,000
me, especially since
1054
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,699
having kids. But this is my
1055
00:39:09,699 --> 00:39:12,733
like my warning to people that are that
1056
00:39:12,733 --> 00:39:15,199
with the Xbox game pass, it
1057
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:16,533
will continue to increase the
1058
00:39:16,533 --> 00:39:20,633
price. Just expect it every year or two.
1059
00:39:20,866 --> 00:39:21,900
They probably won't try
1060
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:22,766
to do it every year because
1061
00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:25,666
it will be too often, but they will be
1062
00:39:25,666 --> 00:39:27,199
increasing the price and
1063
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:28,166
then they're going to try to
1064
00:39:28,699 --> 00:39:31,466
hostage you into the situation because
1065
00:39:31,466 --> 00:39:32,766
that's just what their
1066
00:39:32,766 --> 00:39:35,233
shareholders are going to want.
1067
00:39:35,933 --> 00:39:39,300
Yeah. So now to the, you know, to go back
1068
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:40,466
to the Netflix example,
1069
00:39:41,366 --> 00:39:42,800
how much longer until we get a Netflix
1070
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,066
style situation with
1071
00:39:44,066 --> 00:39:46,133
Xbox game pass where, if you
1072
00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:48,766
recall, Netflix back in the day used to
1073
00:39:48,766 --> 00:39:50,000
have basically every
1074
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,566
major networks like shows and
1075
00:39:51,666 --> 00:39:53,266
whatnot. It used to be the one place to
1076
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:54,466
get everything. Right.
1077
00:39:55,066 --> 00:39:56,166
And then now all of a sudden
1078
00:39:56,233 --> 00:40:00,266
like NBC, ABC, Disney all broke off into
1079
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:01,866
their own their own
1080
00:40:01,866 --> 00:40:02,933
streaming services. Right.
1081
00:40:03,733 --> 00:40:05,733
How much longer until that happens? A
1082
00:40:05,733 --> 00:40:07,833
game pass where game pass
1083
00:40:07,833 --> 00:40:09,733
goes up in price, but Ubisoft
1084
00:40:09,833 --> 00:40:11,099
doesn't want to be a part anymore.
1085
00:40:11,433 --> 00:40:13,566
Neither does EA. So they break off, but
1086
00:40:13,566 --> 00:40:14,766
then the price, you know,
1087
00:40:14,766 --> 00:40:16,133
still remains the same as if they were
1088
00:40:16,133 --> 00:40:19,266
still on there. So right now it is
1089
00:40:19,266 --> 00:40:20,866
already a really good
1090
00:40:20,866 --> 00:40:22,433
deal if you play a lot of games a month.
1091
00:40:22,433 --> 00:40:23,333
If you beat these games in
1092
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,699
a month, this is an amazing
1093
00:40:24,866 --> 00:40:28,433
deal. The problem is, are you going to be
1094
00:40:28,433 --> 00:40:29,466
able to stop the deal once
1095
00:40:29,466 --> 00:40:31,166
it goes up to $60 a month?
1096
00:40:32,133 --> 00:40:33,433
The deal has altered.
1097
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:35,066
Yeah, I don't.
1098
00:40:36,633 --> 00:40:39,833
This is this is why this is why I don't
1099
00:40:39,833 --> 00:40:40,766
think that that's
1100
00:40:40,766 --> 00:40:41,833
going to happen. High tech.
1101
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,233
Microsoft is the only company in the
1102
00:40:46,233 --> 00:40:48,199
gaming industry that can
1103
00:40:48,199 --> 00:40:51,333
subsidize this level of scam
1104
00:40:51,333 --> 00:40:55,066
for this long. OK. And I, you know, like
1105
00:40:55,066 --> 00:40:56,766
James, I was going to ask
1106
00:40:56,766 --> 00:40:58,900
you, like, if this isn't a scam,
1107
00:40:59,433 --> 00:41:03,933
then how come Microsoft continues to put
1108
00:41:03,933 --> 00:41:06,733
so much money into it? It
1109
00:41:06,733 --> 00:41:08,866
to me, it seems like it is
1110
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:12,833
designed from Adam to not be a loss
1111
00:41:12,833 --> 00:41:14,033
leader, but to like get
1112
00:41:14,033 --> 00:41:15,733
people addicted to the idea.
1113
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:18,366
I don't think Electronic Arts could do
1114
00:41:18,366 --> 00:41:19,533
this. I don't think
1115
00:41:19,533 --> 00:41:21,366
Ubisoft could afford to do this.
1116
00:41:21,666 --> 00:41:23,166
I don't think Sony could afford to do
1117
00:41:23,166 --> 00:41:26,333
this. Like it is such an
1118
00:41:26,333 --> 00:41:29,766
astronomical loss for them
1119
00:41:31,933 --> 00:41:34,233
when, you know, it's like they lost how
1120
00:41:34,233 --> 00:41:35,833
much $300 million they
1121
00:41:35,833 --> 00:41:38,533
supposedly on the on the last call
1122
00:41:38,566 --> 00:41:41,066
of duty. It's like that's cannibalizing
1123
00:41:41,066 --> 00:41:41,966
their own real gains.
1124
00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:43,966
That's that's right. Always what
1125
00:41:43,966 --> 00:41:44,633
they're going to say. They're always
1126
00:41:44,633 --> 00:41:46,199
going to put it up much higher than they
1127
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:47,400
probably do some type
1128
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,533
of write off and stuff on it. So right.
1129
00:41:50,833 --> 00:41:52,266
But like you could make you
1130
00:41:52,266 --> 00:41:54,166
make more money. You stand to
1131
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:56,599
make more money by selling a copy of a
1132
00:41:56,599 --> 00:41:57,633
game, especially an
1133
00:41:57,633 --> 00:42:00,633
annualized like series like Call
1134
00:42:00,633 --> 00:42:02,633
of Duty or whatever. You stand to make
1135
00:42:02,633 --> 00:42:03,733
more money that way. Just
1136
00:42:03,733 --> 00:42:06,633
point blank. Unless you also
1137
00:42:06,733 --> 00:42:08,433
continue to increase the price of Game
1138
00:42:08,433 --> 00:42:10,199
Pass. I think Call of Duty
1139
00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:11,666
is also drying up more than
1140
00:42:11,666 --> 00:42:13,133
they realize. Oh, yeah. Let on. That
1141
00:42:13,133 --> 00:42:13,800
could be another thing.
1142
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,866
They're they're hiding a lot of
1143
00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:16,366
this stuff. They're like, oh, I could
1144
00:42:16,366 --> 00:42:17,433
have made $300 million. Well,
1145
00:42:17,833 --> 00:42:19,099
probably not because I don't
1146
00:42:19,099 --> 00:42:21,933
think Call of Duty like they've I don't
1147
00:42:21,933 --> 00:42:23,433
think is dying off per se
1148
00:42:23,433 --> 00:42:24,500
like some of these other
1149
00:42:25,433 --> 00:42:28,366
like MMOs and stuff. But it is definitely
1150
00:42:28,366 --> 00:42:30,300
not the cash cow it used to be.
1151
00:42:30,833 --> 00:42:33,066
And they aren't interested in Call of
1152
00:42:33,066 --> 00:42:33,699
Duty anymore. They're
1153
00:42:33,699 --> 00:42:34,866
playing like they're playing
1154
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:36,166
Fortnite and Roblox. They're not even
1155
00:42:36,166 --> 00:42:36,766
playing the most
1156
00:42:36,766 --> 00:42:37,966
graphic intense games anymore.
1157
00:42:38,466 --> 00:42:40,533
No, they're playing Fart Night. I know.
1158
00:42:40,533 --> 00:42:42,300
That's what I thought you said. Yeah.
1159
00:42:43,466 --> 00:42:45,633
Yeah. No, but like seriously, they're not
1160
00:42:45,633 --> 00:42:46,333
even playing the most
1161
00:42:46,333 --> 00:42:47,400
graphic demanding games,
1162
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,933
which makes me wonder why do they even
1163
00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:51,233
why do developers even bother making
1164
00:42:51,766 --> 00:42:54,500
super graphically demanding games if like
1165
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:55,433
the next generation of
1166
00:42:55,433 --> 00:42:57,466
gamers don't give a fuck?
1167
00:42:57,466 --> 00:42:59,466
It depends themselves into a corner with
1168
00:42:59,466 --> 00:43:00,433
marketing or it's like
1169
00:43:00,433 --> 00:43:01,233
it's the best looking
1170
00:43:01,366 --> 00:43:04,866
game this you know of ever created or you
1171
00:43:04,866 --> 00:43:06,633
know, they should do they should market.
1172
00:43:07,099 --> 00:43:09,466
Oh, it's the most destructive game ever.
1173
00:43:09,466 --> 00:43:11,933
Yeah. Like, honestly, when
1174
00:43:11,933 --> 00:43:13,333
I saw like red faction two
1175
00:43:14,166 --> 00:43:16,199
in like red faction, the one on Mars, I
1176
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:16,933
think which one that
1177
00:43:16,933 --> 00:43:18,000
was called red faction.
1178
00:43:18,966 --> 00:43:20,900
Both red factions are on my well, I the
1179
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:22,900
the one the one that always like
1180
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,500
put them in a tunnel. Basically, I think
1181
00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:29,566
red faction two, I could like dig.
1182
00:43:30,466 --> 00:43:32,466
All right. But you get what I'm saying,
1183
00:43:32,466 --> 00:43:33,966
right? Like I saw red faction. I thought,
1184
00:43:34,233 --> 00:43:36,566
wow, this is a feature of games. You can
1185
00:43:36,566 --> 00:43:38,666
destroy shit. And it was
1186
00:43:38,666 --> 00:43:40,666
so awesome. And I mean,
1187
00:43:40,666 --> 00:43:42,900
crackdowns kind of like that, too. But
1188
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,733
like, and then 30 years later, you get
1189
00:43:46,099 --> 00:43:49,333
Doc O'Connor Bonanza. Yeah, that's the
1190
00:43:49,333 --> 00:43:51,166
feature of gaming. That's it.
1191
00:43:51,566 --> 00:43:52,566
Oh, man, I really want to play
1192
00:43:52,566 --> 00:43:53,833
that, but I'm not going to because
1193
00:43:53,833 --> 00:43:57,866
Nintendo sucks. Not yet. Is it gorilla or
1194
00:43:57,866 --> 00:43:59,266
is it like Armageddon?
1195
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:01,199
Well, the first red faction I think
1196
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:02,166
wasn't what I'm thinking of.
1197
00:44:02,966 --> 00:44:04,666
The first red faction had destructible
1198
00:44:04,666 --> 00:44:05,466
environments, too. I
1199
00:44:05,466 --> 00:44:06,666
think I think they all do.
1200
00:44:07,266 --> 00:44:09,099
It's one of the biggest selling points is
1201
00:44:09,099 --> 00:44:10,066
that you can destroy things
1202
00:44:10,066 --> 00:44:11,433
and they make it easy because
1203
00:44:11,433 --> 00:44:13,199
it's on Mars. And so they don't have to
1204
00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:14,466
worry about high
1205
00:44:14,466 --> 00:44:16,566
environmental details like foliage
1206
00:44:16,566 --> 00:44:19,066
and stuff like that. So yeah, but imagine
1207
00:44:19,066 --> 00:44:20,933
like red factions put on
1208
00:44:20,933 --> 00:44:22,433
Earth with a bunch of like
1209
00:44:22,433 --> 00:44:24,466
foliage and all that cool shit. Now,
1210
00:44:24,466 --> 00:44:26,633
they're often our games kind of like
1211
00:44:26,633 --> 00:44:28,033
that. I'm trying to,
1212
00:44:28,099 --> 00:44:30,000
is it just cause? I don't know. There's a
1213
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,900
couple of games that do
1214
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:32,266
have a lot of environmental
1215
00:44:32,266 --> 00:44:35,699
destruction. Oh, dude, have you guys
1216
00:44:35,699 --> 00:44:37,333
played? Have you guys played teardown?
1217
00:44:37,966 --> 00:44:40,366
No. So teardown is like
1218
00:44:40,366 --> 00:44:42,933
an indie game where your goal is to like,
1219
00:44:43,833 --> 00:44:44,566
there's a bunch of different
1220
00:44:44,566 --> 00:44:45,933
objectives. But like the main
1221
00:44:45,933 --> 00:44:48,266
selling point is destruction, like voxel,
1222
00:44:48,266 --> 00:44:48,966
destruction, physics.
1223
00:44:50,133 --> 00:44:50,933
There's a mantra called
1224
00:44:50,933 --> 00:44:53,333
structural integrity, which tries to like
1225
00:44:53,333 --> 00:44:54,699
mimic like real life
1226
00:44:54,699 --> 00:44:56,033
structural destruction.
1227
00:44:57,666 --> 00:44:59,466
So like if you blow open like a few
1228
00:44:59,466 --> 00:45:00,366
walls, eventually like
1229
00:45:00,366 --> 00:45:01,166
the building will like
1230
00:45:02,066 --> 00:45:03,966
like the remaining like foundation will
1231
00:45:03,966 --> 00:45:04,966
start to like crack and
1232
00:45:04,966 --> 00:45:06,066
then eventually collapse
1233
00:45:06,566 --> 00:45:08,866
under pressure. And it's thinking of
1234
00:45:08,866 --> 00:45:10,400
collapsing under pressure
1235
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,666
after Microsoft announced the
1236
00:45:12,666 --> 00:45:15,133
game pass changes their website to
1237
00:45:15,133 --> 00:45:16,666
cancel. These subscriptions
1238
00:45:16,666 --> 00:45:20,866
crash. Yeah. That's crazy.
1239
00:45:21,366 --> 00:45:22,966
That's going to happen a lot, though.
1240
00:45:23,433 --> 00:45:24,333
Like people are very
1241
00:45:24,333 --> 00:45:26,400
reactionary. And if we haven't noticed
1242
00:45:26,466 --> 00:45:28,466
before in the past, a lot of people end
1243
00:45:28,466 --> 00:45:31,699
up coming back. But I
1244
00:45:31,699 --> 00:45:33,966
think the amount that they
1245
00:45:33,966 --> 00:45:36,166
were going to make up, they're probably
1246
00:45:36,166 --> 00:45:36,866
going to lose from
1247
00:45:36,866 --> 00:45:38,433
cancellations. I don't think at the end
1248
00:45:38,433 --> 00:45:41,366
of the day, they're going to increase
1249
00:45:41,366 --> 00:45:42,766
much maybe over the few
1250
00:45:42,766 --> 00:45:45,066
years, maybe, but like even I'm
1251
00:45:45,066 --> 00:45:49,333
thinking about canceling mine. And while
1252
00:45:49,333 --> 00:45:50,666
I'm almost done with Doom Dark Ages,
1253
00:45:50,933 --> 00:45:51,833
which is it gets better,
1254
00:45:51,933 --> 00:45:55,199
by the way, Gardner, but it does. But
1255
00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:55,800
it's definitely not
1256
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,000
nearly still it's not as good
1257
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,266
as doing eternal. And so I'm going to be
1258
00:45:59,266 --> 00:46:00,266
wrapping that up and then
1259
00:46:00,266 --> 00:46:02,166
anything else I'm playing,
1260
00:46:02,166 --> 00:46:06,133
I'm just going to buy it because I I just
1261
00:46:06,133 --> 00:46:07,166
prefer to own the games.
1262
00:46:07,833 --> 00:46:10,099
Do people still play cod? This is crazy.
1263
00:46:10,099 --> 00:46:12,233
I see a clip. I saw a
1264
00:46:12,233 --> 00:46:13,266
clip of someone with like the
1265
00:46:13,266 --> 00:46:17,133
sniper in the new Call of Duty beta. And
1266
00:46:17,133 --> 00:46:19,033
apparently it looks like it's just a
1267
00:46:19,033 --> 00:46:19,900
sniper with built in
1268
00:46:19,933 --> 00:46:22,633
wall hacks and built in sheets through
1269
00:46:22,633 --> 00:46:24,266
walls to kill enemies to.
1270
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
I don't know. I'm sure they
1271
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,166
still like there's still plenty of people
1272
00:46:30,166 --> 00:46:31,900
that play Call of Duty. It's just they're
1273
00:46:32,099 --> 00:46:33,133
heavily invested. And that's what they've
1274
00:46:33,133 --> 00:46:33,666
been playing for
1275
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:34,599
years. It's kind of like,
1276
00:46:34,733 --> 00:46:38,166
it's like Stock syndrome. It's like a
1277
00:46:38,166 --> 00:46:39,866
sports thing. So it's a
1278
00:46:39,866 --> 00:46:41,233
sports thing. People see it
1279
00:46:41,233 --> 00:46:42,733
as a sports thing. Some people like
1280
00:46:42,733 --> 00:46:43,733
football. Other people like
1281
00:46:43,733 --> 00:46:44,666
playing Call of Duty. And that's
1282
00:46:44,666 --> 00:46:45,566
what they do after they get done with
1283
00:46:45,566 --> 00:46:47,833
work. They just want to relax and play
1284
00:46:47,833 --> 00:46:48,366
something. They play
1285
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,266
Call of Duty. I'm not going to like even
1286
00:46:51,266 --> 00:46:52,466
if people choose to do
1287
00:46:52,466 --> 00:46:54,366
Fortnite, like I'll say this,
1288
00:46:54,833 --> 00:46:58,033
we are all like gamers are a variety.
1289
00:46:58,566 --> 00:47:01,033
There's like a variety of different
1290
00:47:01,033 --> 00:47:02,500
gamers. Me, I actually
1291
00:47:02,566 --> 00:47:04,966
do like pushing the graphical envelope
1292
00:47:04,966 --> 00:47:06,766
quite a bit. I just don't
1293
00:47:06,766 --> 00:47:09,033
think these game developers
1294
00:47:09,033 --> 00:47:11,333
or publishers are doing it the right way,
1295
00:47:11,733 --> 00:47:13,033
in my opinion, but I like
1296
00:47:13,033 --> 00:47:15,266
doing that. I like a little
1297
00:47:15,266 --> 00:47:16,900
bit of artistic flair to it. And they
1298
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:18,166
oftentimes don't do that. They try to
1299
00:47:18,166 --> 00:47:19,066
make it too realistic.
1300
00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:22,333
And so, which is bullshitting. I kind of
1301
00:47:22,333 --> 00:47:23,166
brought it back into that.
1302
00:47:23,166 --> 00:47:24,133
It's just there are a lot of
1303
00:47:24,133 --> 00:47:26,000
different people, which is bullshit too,
1304
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,466
because like movies aren't
1305
00:47:27,466 --> 00:47:28,833
even that realistic. Like
1306
00:47:28,833 --> 00:47:30,433
there are a lot of like, no, like
1307
00:47:30,433 --> 00:47:33,199
obviously movies have like real actors.
1308
00:47:33,199 --> 00:47:33,966
It's probably way more
1309
00:47:33,966 --> 00:47:36,300
realistic than a game will be. But at the
1310
00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:37,233
same time, though, like
1311
00:47:37,233 --> 00:47:39,166
the like directors play with
1312
00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:41,800
the lighting, they make they make it so
1313
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,900
it gets a good shot at the
1314
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:45,199
cost of sometimes realism.
1315
00:47:46,166 --> 00:47:50,099
Set design to it. And the fact that these
1316
00:47:50,099 --> 00:47:52,033
game developers haven't
1317
00:47:52,033 --> 00:47:52,966
really caught on to the fact
1318
00:47:52,966 --> 00:47:55,833
that that's why movies look so good is
1319
00:47:55,833 --> 00:47:56,866
insane. It's like the
1320
00:47:56,866 --> 00:47:58,366
different way in a YouTube video and
1321
00:47:58,366 --> 00:48:01,566
in like a movie movie, right? I think
1322
00:48:01,566 --> 00:48:02,366
there's just a lot of
1323
00:48:02,366 --> 00:48:03,466
different games. I don't know if
1324
00:48:03,466 --> 00:48:04,766
that's fair because there's a lot of
1325
00:48:04,766 --> 00:48:06,199
movies that try to be as realistic as
1326
00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:07,033
possible. They do it
1327
00:48:07,033 --> 00:48:08,400
with lighting and stuff like that.
1328
00:48:08,766 --> 00:48:10,933
There's games that do well by saying,
1329
00:48:10,933 --> 00:48:12,066
hey, this is realistic.
1330
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,000
They're not going to be doing the best,
1331
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,233
but we have a variety of
1332
00:48:17,233 --> 00:48:18,099
different games. I don't think
1333
00:48:18,099 --> 00:48:20,733
it's a bad thing. It's just the trends
1334
00:48:20,733 --> 00:48:22,466
right now for a lot of
1335
00:48:22,466 --> 00:48:25,766
the triple A are not great.
1336
00:48:26,699 --> 00:48:28,000
Because I don't think going the Fortnite
1337
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,033
route is going to be the
1338
00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:31,300
right way for all of them.
1339
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:34,366
And they'd like to chase that. So these
1340
00:48:34,366 --> 00:48:35,366
triple A just try to chase
1341
00:48:35,366 --> 00:48:36,699
whatever they think is trendy.
1342
00:48:37,766 --> 00:48:41,699
I don't know. It's. I don't want really
1343
00:48:41,699 --> 00:48:44,333
like some realism to go away. I don't
1344
00:48:44,333 --> 00:48:45,033
want it just to play
1345
00:48:45,033 --> 00:48:47,766
Fortnite games, I'll be honest. I mean,
1346
00:48:47,766 --> 00:48:48,500
that's totally valid,
1347
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:51,066
too. If they keep it at like
1348
00:48:51,066 --> 00:48:53,366
Dead Space remake level of like detail,
1349
00:48:53,366 --> 00:48:55,199
I'm down for that. Oh,
1350
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:57,766
yeah, dude. The thing about like
1351
00:48:58,466 --> 00:49:00,466
that era, I think that that was like peak
1352
00:49:00,466 --> 00:49:03,300
gaming because there
1353
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:06,133
wasn't huge demand on hardware.
1354
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,933
Like they were pushing the 360 and stuff
1355
00:49:08,933 --> 00:49:10,000
at that time. But like,
1356
00:49:11,433 --> 00:49:13,699
you know, today's hardware, especially
1357
00:49:13,699 --> 00:49:15,133
like the Steam Deck, can play
1358
00:49:16,866 --> 00:49:19,500
these remakes of old games like Gears of
1359
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:21,933
War, right? Anything from
1360
00:49:21,933 --> 00:49:23,199
that era works really well
1361
00:49:23,199 --> 00:49:25,633
on the Steam Deck. And that I think we've
1362
00:49:25,633 --> 00:49:26,733
been kind of talking about
1363
00:49:26,733 --> 00:49:27,599
the future of gaming a little
1364
00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:29,966
bit like Red Faction. No, no, no, the
1365
00:49:29,966 --> 00:49:32,066
future of gaming is this like
1366
00:49:32,066 --> 00:49:34,000
handheld market. Like that's
1367
00:49:34,333 --> 00:49:36,866
what I think the future is. And so if we
1368
00:49:36,866 --> 00:49:38,000
can like kind of reset
1369
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,900
our expectations to like,
1370
00:49:40,233 --> 00:49:42,133
it looks good enough. You can tell what's
1371
00:49:42,133 --> 00:49:44,433
going on and you have fun.
1372
00:49:44,766 --> 00:49:46,133
That's the critical aspect
1373
00:49:46,133 --> 00:49:49,133
of game. Yeah. So and that's my
1374
00:49:49,133 --> 00:49:51,866
curmudgeon take. Well, speaking of the
1375
00:49:51,866 --> 00:49:52,966
future of gaming, right?
1376
00:49:53,566 --> 00:49:57,166
Like as handheld and they everyone knows
1377
00:49:57,166 --> 00:49:58,766
it. That's why the cost is going to be
1378
00:49:59,533 --> 00:50:01,266
a thousand dollars to enter that future.
1379
00:50:01,933 --> 00:50:03,666
Well, the future is
1380
00:50:03,666 --> 00:50:05,833
actually today for some people
1381
00:50:06,333 --> 00:50:09,066
in France, in France. True. Hi, tech.
1382
00:50:09,066 --> 00:50:10,033
Tell me what's going on
1383
00:50:10,033 --> 00:50:10,933
with this. I hadn't heard this
1384
00:50:10,933 --> 00:50:14,566
story. So a Redditor posted on Reddit
1385
00:50:14,566 --> 00:50:16,000
that they received it a
1386
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,599
little early or the next day.
1387
00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:21,733
The Xbox, the RG Xbox, the X, the X.
1388
00:50:22,266 --> 00:50:23,633
Yeah. The post has since
1389
00:50:23,633 --> 00:50:25,733
been deleted by the author.
1390
00:50:26,733 --> 00:50:30,533
But I mean, from what I remember of the
1391
00:50:30,533 --> 00:50:31,666
article, it looked like
1392
00:50:31,666 --> 00:50:33,866
he was doing pretty well.
1393
00:50:34,433 --> 00:50:36,366
You know, decent battery life. It seems
1394
00:50:36,366 --> 00:50:38,033
like it has a lot better gains.
1395
00:50:39,466 --> 00:50:42,033
Like the upper gains aren't too many FPS
1396
00:50:42,033 --> 00:50:44,333
increases, like at a higher wattages,
1397
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,433
like compared to the original ally. But
1398
00:50:46,433 --> 00:50:47,733
the efficiency gains
1399
00:50:47,733 --> 00:50:49,066
for like lower wattages is
1400
00:50:49,933 --> 00:50:53,366
a lot better. Which is good, which is
1401
00:50:53,366 --> 00:50:54,766
good. No, that's that's true. Like
1402
00:50:55,266 --> 00:50:56,333
there's supposed to be some
1403
00:50:56,333 --> 00:50:57,933
updates coming out for the
1404
00:50:59,533 --> 00:51:02,000
Z1, or Z2 extreme to make it
1405
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,333
a little bit better at higher
1406
00:51:03,766 --> 00:51:07,666
TDPs. But like mid range TDPs do really
1407
00:51:07,666 --> 00:51:09,033
well. And it does have a
1408
00:51:09,033 --> 00:51:10,733
pretty sizable increase.
1409
00:51:11,033 --> 00:51:13,166
Is it a sizable increase to say, like,
1410
00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:14,533
hey, if you have an Xbox
1411
00:51:14,533 --> 00:51:16,766
or let's say an ROG Ally X,
1412
00:51:17,433 --> 00:51:20,300
and you want to get the Xbox Ally X or,
1413
00:51:20,633 --> 00:51:21,599
you know, all the
1414
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:23,033
naming convention shit. But
1415
00:51:23,833 --> 00:51:26,633
I hate it. It catches me up every time. I
1416
00:51:26,633 --> 00:51:28,733
would definitely say no. Like if you have
1417
00:51:28,733 --> 00:51:30,900
just a regular Ally X, don't get the Xbox
1418
00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:32,866
Ally X because you're just
1419
00:51:32,866 --> 00:51:34,133
not going to get enough gains
1420
00:51:34,333 --> 00:51:38,366
to warrant paying $300 more for a device
1421
00:51:38,366 --> 00:51:40,766
that's not that much different.
1422
00:51:41,933 --> 00:51:43,933
I also don't think this is a good deal. I
1423
00:51:43,933 --> 00:51:45,133
have a reservation for
1424
00:51:45,133 --> 00:51:45,966
this. I don't know if you know
1425
00:51:45,966 --> 00:51:47,866
that gardener, but I've talked about it
1426
00:51:47,866 --> 00:51:49,333
in the past. I think
1427
00:51:49,333 --> 00:51:52,366
episodes, but I do have
1428
00:51:53,666 --> 00:51:58,533
reservation for the Xbox Ally X. I don't
1429
00:51:58,533 --> 00:51:59,300
know if I'll keep it or
1430
00:51:59,300 --> 00:52:01,066
not. I'm trying to convince
1431
00:52:01,066 --> 00:52:04,400
myself to keep it because I like every
1432
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,166
aspect of it besides the
1433
00:52:06,166 --> 00:52:08,199
screen. And I want something
1434
00:52:08,199 --> 00:52:09,766
that can be just a little bit better and
1435
00:52:09,766 --> 00:52:12,166
have a USB for interface.
1436
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:16,266
Well, you know what device has that both
1437
00:52:16,266 --> 00:52:18,599
of those things, the Lenovo device?
1438
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,599
Yeah, but I can't get one right now. Are
1439
00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:25,766
you talking about the Legion go to?
1440
00:52:26,433 --> 00:52:26,633
Yeah.
1441
00:52:27,266 --> 00:52:30,033
Yeah, it's not. They pulled it and it's
1442
00:52:30,033 --> 00:52:30,966
for pre-order again.
1443
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:32,633
They had a bumper issue.
1444
00:52:33,166 --> 00:52:33,366
Oh.
1445
00:52:34,166 --> 00:52:36,366
And so if I go and look to see if I can
1446
00:52:36,366 --> 00:52:37,033
get it, I don't know what's
1447
00:52:37,033 --> 00:52:37,766
going to come out. I don't even
1448
00:52:37,766 --> 00:52:39,133
know if they have a date. I'd have to,
1449
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,433
maybe I could find it, but
1450
00:52:40,433 --> 00:52:42,266
they released it. They had
1451
00:52:42,266 --> 00:52:43,066
a bumper issue, which
1452
00:52:43,066 --> 00:52:44,666
seems stupid to, I don't know.
1453
00:52:44,933 --> 00:52:45,566
A bumper issue?
1454
00:52:46,233 --> 00:52:48,166
Yeah, the bumper, like the right bumper
1455
00:52:48,166 --> 00:52:52,466
gets stuck really bad
1456
00:52:52,466 --> 00:52:53,333
for a lot of people.
1457
00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:53,633
I can see that being a
1458
00:52:53,633 --> 00:52:54,699
huge issue, to be honest.
1459
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,566
Yeah. And so they did a recall from
1460
00:52:57,566 --> 00:53:00,833
understanding. And so, and at the end of
1461
00:53:00,833 --> 00:53:01,733
the day, it's nice that
1462
00:53:01,733 --> 00:53:03,966
it has an 8.8 inch screen and OLED, but I
1463
00:53:03,966 --> 00:53:05,433
really did not like the
1464
00:53:05,433 --> 00:53:06,966
Legion go 1s. And I don't think
1465
00:53:06,966 --> 00:53:09,666
they changed the controller itself enough
1466
00:53:09,666 --> 00:53:11,533
because the Legion go 1
1467
00:53:11,533 --> 00:53:13,033
controllers were too mushy for
1468
00:53:13,066 --> 00:53:16,300
me. I didn't like it. And the allies are
1469
00:53:16,300 --> 00:53:16,966
a little mushy, but
1470
00:53:16,966 --> 00:53:18,433
they're not quite as bad. Like,
1471
00:53:18,433 --> 00:53:19,766
it just felt very cheap
1472
00:53:19,766 --> 00:53:21,133
holding those controllers.
1473
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:22,766
Fair enough.
1474
00:53:23,266 --> 00:53:26,133
I hate to say this, but they probably
1475
00:53:26,133 --> 00:53:26,833
should have thrown a
1476
00:53:26,833 --> 00:53:27,966
little bit more weight into the
1477
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,333
controller, which is not a good thing for
1478
00:53:31,333 --> 00:53:33,866
a handheld, but I don't
1479
00:53:33,866 --> 00:53:35,233
want to lift something
1480
00:53:35,233 --> 00:53:37,233
that feels so plasticky and fake.
1481
00:53:37,766 --> 00:53:39,433
There is a way to enable the new Xbox
1482
00:53:39,433 --> 00:53:41,733
interface on your existing handhelds,
1483
00:53:41,833 --> 00:53:43,566
if you're running Windows on them. And I
1484
00:53:43,566 --> 00:53:44,633
tried that on my Ally X,
1485
00:53:45,466 --> 00:53:47,699
and it seems to work pretty okay. The
1486
00:53:47,699 --> 00:53:50,233
problem is that the Xbox interface itself
1487
00:53:52,233 --> 00:53:54,333
kind of bare bones, to be honest.
1488
00:53:55,900 --> 00:53:57,733
Unless you're playing games like on the
1489
00:53:57,733 --> 00:53:59,466
actual Xbox itself, like
1490
00:53:59,466 --> 00:54:00,966
the Xbox service itself,
1491
00:54:01,866 --> 00:54:04,766
it's kind of bare bones. Apparently, in
1492
00:54:04,766 --> 00:54:06,466
the future, you should be
1493
00:54:06,466 --> 00:54:07,866
able to replace that launcher
1494
00:54:08,166 --> 00:54:10,233
that you launch with by default with a
1495
00:54:10,233 --> 00:54:11,099
different program. So it
1496
00:54:11,099 --> 00:54:12,099
seems like maybe in the future,
1497
00:54:12,099 --> 00:54:13,566
you can just launch to Steam Big Picture
1498
00:54:13,566 --> 00:54:14,633
mode, but it's
1499
00:54:14,633 --> 00:54:16,966
running Windows underneath.
1500
00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:19,000
I don't know how well that's going to go
1501
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,466
over, to be honest, but I mean,
1502
00:54:21,166 --> 00:54:22,766
it's nice that they're improving Windows.
1503
00:54:23,933 --> 00:54:27,199
I just wish it wasn't super late.
1504
00:54:28,633 --> 00:54:32,433
My stance has been that Microsoft, in the
1505
00:54:32,433 --> 00:54:33,066
history of their
1506
00:54:33,066 --> 00:54:34,533
company, has never been able to
1507
00:54:35,366 --> 00:54:39,433
sustain a product to be good for three
1508
00:54:39,433 --> 00:54:42,366
years. It takes them three
1509
00:54:42,366 --> 00:54:44,199
years to take a good product
1510
00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:46,366
and ruin it. That's what Microsoft does.
1511
00:54:46,733 --> 00:54:48,099
That's their entire track
1512
00:54:48,099 --> 00:54:49,466
record over the entire history
1513
00:54:49,466 --> 00:54:53,733
of their company. And so they might be
1514
00:54:53,733 --> 00:54:56,766
able to make the Xbox UI for Windows
1515
00:54:56,766 --> 00:54:59,433
good, but very quickly,
1516
00:54:59,433 --> 00:55:02,033
it will become corrupted by outside
1517
00:55:02,033 --> 00:55:03,733
departments, outside the Xbox
1518
00:55:03,733 --> 00:55:05,733
and Windows teams that want to
1519
00:55:06,066 --> 00:55:08,366
shove extra crap into it, or you won't
1520
00:55:08,366 --> 00:55:09,533
only be able to access it
1521
00:55:09,533 --> 00:55:10,800
if you have game pass, or
1522
00:55:11,133 --> 00:55:13,766
it's going to happen. Microsoft is going
1523
00:55:13,766 --> 00:55:15,933
to ruin it. And that
1524
00:55:15,933 --> 00:55:17,133
gives me hope for the future.
1525
00:55:19,099 --> 00:55:21,766
Very pessimistic take on that. I don't
1526
00:55:21,766 --> 00:55:22,866
think you're wrong about that.
1527
00:55:22,866 --> 00:55:23,066
We're talking about Microsoft.
1528
00:55:23,466 --> 00:55:24,433
Yeah, I don't think
1529
00:55:24,433 --> 00:55:25,199
you're necessarily wrong.
1530
00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:25,733
That is true.
1531
00:55:26,066 --> 00:55:30,233
I... They're going to inject the AI stuff
1532
00:55:30,233 --> 00:55:32,599
somehow into it. And I
1533
00:55:32,599 --> 00:55:34,266
will say, if they brought back
1534
00:55:34,266 --> 00:55:37,166
Cortana, cool, do it. Actually have a
1535
00:55:37,166 --> 00:55:38,633
game character be it. Cool.
1536
00:55:39,166 --> 00:55:39,900
They're not going to do that.
1537
00:55:40,233 --> 00:55:41,800
And I'm really frustrated because that's
1538
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,566
the only thing they had
1539
00:55:42,566 --> 00:55:43,633
going with the AI stuff,
1540
00:55:43,633 --> 00:55:46,733
then they got rid of it. But just because
1541
00:55:46,733 --> 00:55:48,233
I'm not the biggest Halo
1542
00:55:48,233 --> 00:55:49,666
fan, but I think it's really
1543
00:55:49,766 --> 00:55:52,833
cool to actually have the AI in Halo to
1544
00:55:52,833 --> 00:55:54,733
actually be at least a little bit of a
1545
00:55:57,533 --> 00:56:01,300
cover for the AI to have the voice that
1546
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:02,966
sounds like Cortana. I don't know.
1547
00:56:03,266 --> 00:56:06,433
The veneer of Halo. And when you pay
1548
00:56:06,433 --> 00:56:08,733
extra for Cortana, DLC for Co-Pilot?
1549
00:56:10,933 --> 00:56:13,433
Well, per month, no. One time, yeah.
1550
00:56:14,699 --> 00:56:16,199
Well, would you be...
1551
00:56:16,199 --> 00:56:17,966
It takes money to make that stuff. I'm
1552
00:56:17,966 --> 00:56:18,633
saying, guys, like...
1553
00:56:19,366 --> 00:56:20,366
Yeah, fair enough.
1554
00:56:21,533 --> 00:56:24,433
It's not cheap, I'm sure, to do some of
1555
00:56:24,433 --> 00:56:25,933
that, but they already
1556
00:56:25,933 --> 00:56:27,066
have it made, I guess.
1557
00:56:27,066 --> 00:56:27,800
Would you pay for a
1558
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,533
pay-per-view eSport event, though?
1559
00:56:29,833 --> 00:56:30,033
No.
1560
00:56:31,633 --> 00:56:32,433
Well, Capcom says,
1561
00:56:32,666 --> 00:56:34,233
"Yes, you are, in fact."
1562
00:56:37,033 --> 00:56:38,333
Oh, this is fun.
1563
00:56:38,966 --> 00:56:42,566
So, for those who don't know, Capcom has
1564
00:56:42,566 --> 00:56:43,266
their own tournament
1565
00:56:43,266 --> 00:56:44,699
series called the Capcom Cup.
1566
00:56:45,599 --> 00:56:47,666
And usually, the streams are free.
1567
00:56:48,066 --> 00:56:48,766
Obviously, if you want to go
1568
00:56:48,766 --> 00:56:49,599
into the venue and actually
1569
00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:51,233
watch them play in person, that's going
1570
00:56:51,233 --> 00:56:52,133
to cost money. That's to
1571
00:56:52,133 --> 00:56:53,033
be expected, though, right?
1572
00:56:54,099 --> 00:56:54,300
Yeah.
1573
00:56:55,166 --> 00:56:59,033
But now, to even watch it, you're going
1574
00:56:59,033 --> 00:57:00,900
at the pay, and the fighting
1575
00:57:00,900 --> 00:57:02,333
in community does not like that.
1576
00:57:04,266 --> 00:57:06,366
It's very reminiscent of something like,
1577
00:57:06,366 --> 00:57:09,966
I don't know, the UFC
1578
00:57:09,966 --> 00:57:13,033
unboxing, which I believe the UFC is
1579
00:57:13,066 --> 00:57:13,900
actually moving away
1580
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:15,666
from pay-per-view events.
1581
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,133
Oh, really? Because I know anything
1582
00:57:19,133 --> 00:57:22,866
that's a sports-related event, they
1583
00:57:22,866 --> 00:57:24,466
usually do pay-per-view,
1584
00:57:24,466 --> 00:57:28,133
unless it's football, soccer, stuff like
1585
00:57:28,133 --> 00:57:29,000
that, and you just
1586
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,800
have to buy into the...
1587
00:57:31,366 --> 00:57:33,333
Like the NFL redline or
1588
00:57:33,333 --> 00:57:34,433
what, red zone or whatever?
1589
00:57:35,099 --> 00:57:35,566
Yeah, stuff like that.
1590
00:57:35,566 --> 00:57:37,633
Do the only people that buy NFL redzones
1591
00:57:37,633 --> 00:57:39,900
are fucking sports bettors, to be honest?
1592
00:57:40,233 --> 00:57:42,833
I've never heard of it.
1593
00:57:42,833 --> 00:57:45,166
Sports makes so much fucking money. I
1594
00:57:45,166 --> 00:57:46,033
don't know if you
1595
00:57:46,033 --> 00:57:47,866
realize how profitable a lot of
1596
00:57:47,866 --> 00:57:49,666
this stuff is. That's why Capcom wants to
1597
00:57:49,666 --> 00:57:53,666
get in on it. It is crazy how profitable
1598
00:57:55,033 --> 00:57:56,733
pay-per-view can be. I don't know how
1599
00:57:56,733 --> 00:57:57,900
good it is nowadays, but
1600
00:57:57,900 --> 00:58:00,033
a decade ago, it was super
1601
00:58:00,033 --> 00:58:00,500
profitable.
1602
00:58:01,266 --> 00:58:03,533
Dude, imagine pirating a Capcom stream on
1603
00:58:03,533 --> 00:58:05,266
one of those sports streaming websites.
1604
00:58:05,533 --> 00:58:06,233
That'd be hilarious.
1605
00:58:06,266 --> 00:58:10,433
So I'm going to say sports betting. All
1606
00:58:10,433 --> 00:58:12,566
right, I can do sports betting on it.
1607
00:58:13,433 --> 00:58:19,033
I'm so out of the competitive fighting
1608
00:58:19,033 --> 00:58:20,633
game that when I went
1609
00:58:20,633 --> 00:58:21,800
over here to this tab,
1610
00:58:22,466 --> 00:58:23,133
I thought this was
1611
00:58:23,133 --> 00:58:24,300
Wolverine for a second.
1612
00:58:24,933 --> 00:58:25,133
What?
1613
00:58:25,566 --> 00:58:26,833
I was like, "What the... What
1614
00:58:26,833 --> 00:58:28,066
is it? Am I on the wrong tab?"
1615
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:29,000
And then I thought
1616
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,366
this was a Van Halen logo.
1617
00:58:30,433 --> 00:58:38,900
Dude, but I mean, basically, that's the
1618
00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:41,466
gist of it. The Capcom Cup,
1619
00:58:42,633 --> 00:58:44,666
the finals, only the finals,
1620
00:58:44,666 --> 00:58:48,066
like the final, like 16 top 16 brackets.
1621
00:58:48,533 --> 00:58:50,099
That's pay-per-view. The
1622
00:58:50,099 --> 00:58:50,966
rest of the tournament was free
1623
00:58:50,966 --> 00:58:52,866
to watch. But the really...
1624
00:58:53,033 --> 00:58:53,166
Do you think people are
1625
00:58:53,166 --> 00:58:53,833
going to pay for this?
1626
00:58:54,833 --> 00:58:55,300
I don't know.
1627
00:58:55,466 --> 00:58:56,133
We... I don't know.
1628
00:58:56,633 --> 00:58:57,266
I think they will.
1629
00:58:57,833 --> 00:58:59,633
I wouldn't be surprised
1630
00:58:59,633 --> 00:59:00,666
if this is successful.
1631
00:59:01,533 --> 00:59:01,900
Yeah.
1632
00:59:03,666 --> 00:59:05,000
So for those who want to compete,
1633
00:59:06,733 --> 00:59:11,300
there is a pretty decent price pool of a
1634
00:59:11,300 --> 00:59:12,566
million dollars. Now, obviously,
1635
00:59:13,366 --> 00:59:14,733
any other e-sports that is in a fighting
1636
00:59:14,733 --> 00:59:16,099
game would probably pay a lot more.
1637
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,266
Like if you were to get the competitive
1638
00:59:18,266 --> 00:59:23,500
gaming E8, like click on the image. That
1639
00:59:23,500 --> 00:59:24,466
shows you the prices.
1640
00:59:27,966 --> 00:59:30,366
So all the prices are yen, of course, but
1641
00:59:30,366 --> 00:59:36,000
you could buy like 6,000
1642
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,666
yen's worth and you get both
1643
00:59:37,766 --> 00:59:40,466
the Street Fighter League, World Cup
1644
00:59:40,466 --> 00:59:43,633
bundle, and the Capcom Cup 12 finals.
1645
00:59:45,533 --> 00:59:45,966
And obviously...
1646
00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:48,433
6,000 yen. That's like what? 40 bucks?
1647
00:59:49,533 --> 00:59:51,066
I think so. Something like that.
1648
00:59:51,066 --> 00:59:51,699
Something along those
1649
00:59:51,699 --> 00:59:53,666
lines. Of course, buying tickets
1650
00:59:55,933 --> 00:59:58,033
to the actual event itself would be
1651
00:59:58,033 --> 00:59:59,533
closer to like 160
1652
00:59:59,533 --> 01:00:01,933
yen, I think. $160 USD.
1653
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:05,366
No, actually not... Yeah.
1654
01:00:07,033 --> 01:00:08,566
6,000 yen is 40 bucks.
1655
01:00:09,433 --> 01:00:09,633
Yeah.
1656
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:09,966
Yeah.
1657
01:00:09,966 --> 01:00:12,233
Well, it's gone down. It used to be a
1658
01:00:12,233 --> 01:00:13,366
couple of years ago. It's like...
1659
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,533
It'd be like more even, but...
1660
01:00:15,533 --> 01:00:17,766
You just removed two zeros, typically.
1661
01:00:18,566 --> 01:00:19,733
Yeah. I mean, the yen's...
1662
01:00:19,766 --> 01:00:25,233
The yen has really gone down on price and
1663
01:00:25,233 --> 01:00:27,233
it kind of sucks for the economy,
1664
01:00:27,233 --> 01:00:28,433
but it also benefited
1665
01:00:28,433 --> 01:00:30,400
me greatly in Japan too.
1666
01:00:30,699 --> 01:00:30,900
Yeah.
1667
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:31,900
Oh yeah.
1668
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,533
40 bucks though. That's still crazy.
1669
01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:39,000
That's like the price of a game. That's
1670
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,466
like the price of a
1671
01:00:40,466 --> 01:00:42,133
character or two characters in
1672
01:00:42,233 --> 01:00:44,866
Street Fighter 6. What do I want to play?
1673
01:00:45,133 --> 01:00:45,800
Do I want to watch
1674
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,733
people fight or do I want to
1675
01:00:48,733 --> 01:00:49,933
pay for more characters so
1676
01:00:49,933 --> 01:00:50,966
I can play the game myself?
1677
01:00:51,733 --> 01:00:52,466
I just don't think we're
1678
01:00:52,466 --> 01:00:53,966
the target audience for this.
1679
01:00:54,066 --> 01:00:55,300
Yeah, we're not the target audience.
1680
01:00:55,533 --> 01:00:58,633
I don't watch football. I don't watch
1681
01:00:58,633 --> 01:01:02,433
sports, but there's millions, tens of
1682
01:01:02,433 --> 01:01:03,233
hundreds of millions
1683
01:01:03,233 --> 01:01:06,233
of people in the world that do. So...
1684
01:01:06,833 --> 01:01:08,866
I just don't know if there's a Venn
1685
01:01:08,866 --> 01:01:11,433
diagram or how much overlap there is
1686
01:01:11,433 --> 01:01:12,300
between people who watch
1687
01:01:12,466 --> 01:01:14,199
professional sports and people who watch
1688
01:01:14,199 --> 01:01:15,266
professional video games.
1689
01:01:16,166 --> 01:01:17,566
I don't think it exists.
1690
01:01:18,466 --> 01:01:19,833
Yeah. I don't...
1691
01:01:19,833 --> 01:01:20,366
That's interesting.
1692
01:01:20,933 --> 01:01:23,833
Because like, dude, here's the thing. I
1693
01:01:23,833 --> 01:01:28,099
understand loving to watch people play
1694
01:01:28,099 --> 01:01:29,133
games at a high level,
1695
01:01:29,699 --> 01:01:33,733
but there's tons of free content
1696
01:01:33,733 --> 01:01:35,366
available for Smash Bros
1697
01:01:35,366 --> 01:01:37,599
tournaments. You can watch
1698
01:01:37,966 --> 01:01:40,599
hours and hours and hours of high level
1699
01:01:40,599 --> 01:01:43,066
Smash Bros play. And I
1700
01:01:43,066 --> 01:01:45,733
do. I love watching that.
1701
01:01:46,866 --> 01:01:51,800
But it's free. The thing is, if this is
1702
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,233
successful, it will surprise
1703
01:01:53,233 --> 01:01:55,466
me. If it is not successful,
1704
01:01:55,466 --> 01:01:58,666
it will surprise me. Because either way,
1705
01:01:58,666 --> 01:01:59,966
this is completely up in
1706
01:01:59,966 --> 01:02:01,033
the air for me. I just don't
1707
01:02:01,033 --> 01:02:05,233
understand how this will perform. I don't
1708
01:02:05,233 --> 01:02:06,033
think we've ever seen
1709
01:02:06,033 --> 01:02:08,133
anything quite like this.
1710
01:02:08,133 --> 01:02:08,333
Right?
1711
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:10,433
Yeah. I think this is the first that
1712
01:02:10,433 --> 01:02:12,133
we've seen. Like Dota, let's
1713
01:02:12,133 --> 01:02:13,233
look at some of the other ones,
1714
01:02:13,233 --> 01:02:15,533
like League and Dota. Those are two big
1715
01:02:15,533 --> 01:02:17,766
ones. Those are free to
1716
01:02:17,766 --> 01:02:19,433
watch, right? I don't think
1717
01:02:19,433 --> 01:02:23,333
they've ever done any pay to watch.
1718
01:02:25,266 --> 01:02:26,433
This is Japanese-based too
1719
01:02:26,433 --> 01:02:27,266
that we're talking about.
1720
01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:28,366
This is Japanese-based.
1721
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,033
I could see it being successful in Japan.
1722
01:02:32,666 --> 01:02:33,566
I mean, the international.
1723
01:02:33,566 --> 01:02:34,966
Because it's like their sports stuff.
1724
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:38,199
When was the last time
1725
01:02:38,199 --> 01:02:39,133
they did one of these?
1726
01:02:39,533 --> 01:02:40,733
I don't think they're
1727
01:02:40,733 --> 01:02:42,133
doing it as much now, are they?
1728
01:02:42,133 --> 01:02:42,666
2024.
1729
01:02:43,699 --> 01:02:46,666
September 12th. Wow, shoot. I guess
1730
01:02:46,666 --> 01:02:47,266
they're getting up for
1731
01:02:47,266 --> 01:02:48,333
Dota 3 then now, right?
1732
01:02:49,433 --> 01:02:50,666
Imagine if Dota 3 was
1733
01:02:50,666 --> 01:02:51,966
Valve's first three.
1734
01:02:52,633 --> 01:02:54,566
That would piss everybody up.
1735
01:02:54,566 --> 01:02:56,466
That would be so bad.
1736
01:02:56,566 --> 01:02:58,366
That would be a headliner topic.
1737
01:02:58,633 --> 01:03:03,366
I can see it happening though. Game New
1738
01:03:03,366 --> 01:03:04,599
World is like deep in the Dota.
1739
01:03:05,433 --> 01:03:08,533
I know. Dota is such a weird game that
1740
01:03:08,533 --> 01:03:10,433
Valve made. It's like, I get
1741
01:03:10,433 --> 01:03:11,666
it. It's a mod and all that.
1742
01:03:12,033 --> 01:03:16,400
But maybe we should make like a
1743
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:17,433
critically sustained mod so
1744
01:03:17,433 --> 01:03:18,500
that Valve will just buy us
1745
01:03:18,500 --> 01:03:19,333
out and make that into
1746
01:03:19,333 --> 01:03:20,966
like a two game deal.
1747
01:03:22,266 --> 01:03:22,466
Maybe.
1748
01:03:23,666 --> 01:03:24,133
That'd be sick.
1749
01:03:24,966 --> 01:03:26,166
Well, we could sell dudelings.
1750
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:28,466
There you go.
1751
01:03:28,866 --> 01:03:30,333
Yeah, you'd have to remake it in Source.
1752
01:03:31,833 --> 01:03:32,366
Dear god.
1753
01:03:34,166 --> 01:03:34,800
And it'd have to be like
1754
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:35,633
a first person shooter.
1755
01:03:37,333 --> 01:03:38,666
No, it's not.
1756
01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:40,833
Oh, that's true. That
1757
01:03:40,833 --> 01:03:41,566
isn't. That's right.
1758
01:03:42,166 --> 01:03:42,599
They have a lot of
1759
01:03:42,599 --> 01:03:43,933
stuff that's not. But yeah.
1760
01:03:45,466 --> 01:03:47,266
I don't know about a lot of stuff that's
1761
01:03:47,266 --> 01:03:48,533
not a first person shooter.
1762
01:03:49,366 --> 01:03:51,933
Please.
1763
01:03:53,099 --> 01:03:55,699
How many people came to this? They had a
1764
01:03:55,699 --> 01:03:56,933
2.8 million dollar
1765
01:03:56,933 --> 01:03:58,300
prize pool. That's why.
1766
01:03:59,566 --> 01:04:01,833
I mean, there is there is so much like
1767
01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:03,033
money in it because
1768
01:04:03,033 --> 01:04:05,033
people are like invested in it.
1769
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:09,633
But like if Valve made the the finals for
1770
01:04:09,633 --> 01:04:11,500
the international pay-per-view,
1771
01:04:12,433 --> 01:04:14,266
I feel like that would kind of kill the
1772
01:04:14,266 --> 01:04:14,633
momentum of the community.
1773
01:04:14,633 --> 01:04:17,500
I think it would. It would probably kill
1774
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:19,466
the momentum of like
1775
01:04:19,466 --> 01:04:21,433
the League League Legends
1776
01:04:21,433 --> 01:04:23,233
International Cup 2 or whatever it's
1777
01:04:23,233 --> 01:04:23,599
called. I don't
1778
01:04:23,599 --> 01:04:24,433
remember what it's called, but.
1779
01:04:25,099 --> 01:04:26,266
But maybe Capcom knows
1780
01:04:26,266 --> 01:04:27,466
what they're doing. Who knows?
1781
01:04:27,866 --> 01:04:30,333
Yeah, I'll be interested to see how this
1782
01:04:30,333 --> 01:04:31,599
turns out. Like that's
1783
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:33,099
all I can say, you know.
1784
01:04:33,466 --> 01:04:35,233
Yeah. I mean, we do have some dates for
1785
01:04:35,233 --> 01:04:35,966
it. So it is going to
1786
01:04:35,966 --> 01:04:37,833
happen sometime next March. So
1787
01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:39,966
I guess I'll follow. We'll follow up with
1788
01:04:39,966 --> 01:04:41,233
this once it happens and
1789
01:04:41,233 --> 01:04:42,566
see how successful it was.
1790
01:04:43,033 --> 01:04:44,366
Yeah, for sure.
1791
01:04:44,500 --> 01:04:47,633
But I will say the FGC is not a huge fan
1792
01:04:47,633 --> 01:04:48,866
of it, at least the western
1793
01:04:48,866 --> 01:04:50,066
part of the FGC community.
1794
01:04:50,366 --> 01:04:51,866
They don't like it. I don't like it
1795
01:04:51,866 --> 01:04:52,599
either, to be honest.
1796
01:04:54,199 --> 01:04:56,000
I'm not I'm not a pro fighting game
1797
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,433
player, though I do double in
1798
01:04:57,433 --> 01:04:58,633
quite a bit of fighting games.
1799
01:05:00,966 --> 01:05:02,366
One of these days I'll make it to Evo.
1800
01:05:04,133 --> 01:05:07,366
Dude, imagine imagine the kind of hell
1801
01:05:07,366 --> 01:05:10,466
that Evo or any other one,
1802
01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:12,733
any other like competition that
1803
01:05:12,966 --> 01:05:16,033
like does Smash Bros.
1804
01:05:16,966 --> 01:05:19,000
Competitively, the kind of hell they
1805
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,566
would unleash if they did
1806
01:05:20,966 --> 01:05:22,633
pay per view. But for a Smash Bros
1807
01:05:22,633 --> 01:05:23,333
tournament like
1808
01:05:23,333 --> 01:05:25,333
Nintendo would go ape shit.
1809
01:05:26,166 --> 01:05:27,333
I don't. Yeah, I don't think Nintendo
1810
01:05:27,333 --> 01:05:28,733
would allow it. I mean, Nintendo
1811
01:05:29,199 --> 01:05:30,866
barely even allows the game to be
1812
01:05:30,866 --> 01:05:32,000
streamed at all, to be honest.
1813
01:05:33,066 --> 01:05:35,866
Yeah, it's insane. So crazy.
1814
01:05:36,733 --> 01:05:40,966
So there was an update to the security
1815
01:05:40,966 --> 01:05:42,099
incident on Discord.
1816
01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:44,966
What's going on here? I think I missed
1817
01:05:44,966 --> 01:05:45,933
this story completely.
1818
01:05:47,933 --> 01:05:49,300
Yeah, I did, too, actually, when this
1819
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:50,766
happened. But essentially,
1820
01:05:50,766 --> 01:05:53,433
on September 20th, Discord was
1821
01:05:53,433 --> 01:05:55,533
hacked, but not necessarily Discord
1822
01:05:55,533 --> 01:05:58,466
itself, but one of their third party
1823
01:05:58,466 --> 01:05:59,533
providers that they use
1824
01:05:59,533 --> 01:06:01,433
for like, or like a customer support and
1825
01:06:01,433 --> 01:06:03,466
whatnot. And as you can see,
1826
01:06:03,466 --> 01:06:04,833
there are a couple of things
1827
01:06:04,833 --> 01:06:06,800
that have been compromised. For example,
1828
01:06:07,433 --> 01:06:09,033
names, government IDs,
1829
01:06:10,033 --> 01:06:11,900
Discord IDs, emails, other
1830
01:06:11,933 --> 01:06:14,033
contact info provided the last four of
1831
01:06:14,033 --> 01:06:15,166
your credit card or
1832
01:06:15,166 --> 01:06:18,033
purchase history, your IP address,
1833
01:06:18,300 --> 01:06:19,900
messages with customer support and some
1834
01:06:19,900 --> 01:06:23,733
like internal corporate data.
1835
01:06:26,333 --> 01:06:30,366
Damn. And this is a lot of this happened.
1836
01:06:30,733 --> 01:06:32,433
A lot of like, what could
1837
01:06:32,433 --> 01:06:33,166
have been avoided were the
1838
01:06:33,166 --> 01:06:34,566
government IDs. But a lot of these
1839
01:06:34,566 --> 01:06:36,066
appeals were about age
1840
01:06:36,066 --> 01:06:38,133
verification. And as you know,
1841
01:06:38,166 --> 01:06:39,833
I think they started they started doing
1842
01:06:39,833 --> 01:06:42,099
that like in the UK, if I'm not mistaken.
1843
01:06:43,366 --> 01:06:46,833
Hmm. Yeah. So this is just like more
1844
01:06:46,833 --> 01:06:48,633
proof positive that like,
1845
01:06:49,833 --> 01:06:52,900
that that UK law is probably a bad idea,
1846
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:55,566
right? I would say so. Yes.
1847
01:06:56,633 --> 01:06:58,966
So they were handling it themselves.
1848
01:06:59,866 --> 01:07:01,866
That's crazy. Well, it
1849
01:07:01,866 --> 01:07:03,233
looks like it was a third party.
1850
01:07:03,300 --> 01:07:05,233
Oh, it was a third party. I just must
1851
01:07:05,233 --> 01:07:06,933
have missed that. Oh,
1852
01:07:06,933 --> 01:07:08,233
yeah, yeah. Third party. I was
1853
01:07:08,233 --> 01:07:12,266
going to say like, damn. If you have a
1854
01:07:12,266 --> 01:07:13,866
proper third party, I don't
1855
01:07:13,866 --> 01:07:16,966
know. It's we have so many
1856
01:07:16,966 --> 01:07:20,566
different verification processes like AYC
1857
01:07:20,566 --> 01:07:23,699
and stuff like that. That
1858
01:07:23,699 --> 01:07:27,266
this is inevitably going to
1859
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:30,433
happen. But this is definitely not a good
1860
01:07:30,433 --> 01:07:32,366
track record that they
1861
01:07:32,366 --> 01:07:33,766
just started doing this and it
1862
01:07:33,766 --> 01:07:36,599
leaked. Yeah, it's been a few weeks. Like
1863
01:07:36,599 --> 01:07:38,866
you can measure it in weeks.
1864
01:07:39,433 --> 01:07:40,866
They're definitely going to
1865
01:07:40,866 --> 01:07:43,066
have to secure that shit. I'm still of
1866
01:07:43,066 --> 01:07:44,166
the opinion, like they have
1867
01:07:44,166 --> 01:07:45,766
opt in kind of stuff like I'd
1868
01:07:45,766 --> 01:07:48,699
rather have opt in with like online
1869
01:07:48,699 --> 01:07:49,933
gaming and a lot of other
1870
01:07:49,933 --> 01:07:51,500
stuff to where I'm like, yeah,
1871
01:07:51,933 --> 01:07:53,966
if I can opt in, that's who I play with
1872
01:07:53,966 --> 01:07:56,266
is people that are verified. Sure.
1873
01:07:57,699 --> 01:07:59,666
But to force it on everyone.
1874
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:03,900
I'm not a fan of that. Yeah.
1875
01:08:05,266 --> 01:08:08,833
It's you know, it this just goes to show
1876
01:08:08,833 --> 01:08:10,433
that like it's not enough
1877
01:08:10,433 --> 01:08:11,466
for like a government to
1878
01:08:11,466 --> 01:08:14,133
just say, oh, you guys need to like
1879
01:08:14,133 --> 01:08:15,233
implement age controls.
1880
01:08:15,633 --> 01:08:17,966
Like if they want age controls,
1881
01:08:18,066 --> 01:08:20,699
they have to provide a secure system that
1882
01:08:20,699 --> 01:08:22,133
is ubiquitous, that
1883
01:08:22,133 --> 01:08:23,633
that provides a baseline,
1884
01:08:24,466 --> 01:08:26,466
you know, and then there could be, you
1885
01:08:26,466 --> 01:08:28,766
know, private entities that do
1886
01:08:28,766 --> 01:08:30,233
something on top of that. But
1887
01:08:30,233 --> 01:08:33,466
like just this just proves that like
1888
01:08:33,466 --> 01:08:35,300
these companies cannot be
1889
01:08:35,300 --> 01:08:36,833
trusted with your private
1890
01:08:36,966 --> 01:08:40,833
information, you know, I it's so
1891
01:08:40,833 --> 01:08:42,766
difficult to like use the Internet now
1892
01:08:42,766 --> 01:08:43,533
because I don't want
1893
01:08:43,533 --> 01:08:46,500
my shit to get leaked. All my stuff has
1894
01:08:46,500 --> 01:08:48,133
been leaked almost. It's why
1895
01:08:48,133 --> 01:08:49,100
I have to have credit report
1896
01:08:49,833 --> 01:08:53,266
watches and stuff. But yeah, that's also
1897
01:08:53,266 --> 01:08:54,333
another thing I think on
1898
01:08:54,333 --> 01:08:56,266
users is that you probably
1899
01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:59,066
should be always being diligent on your
1900
01:08:59,066 --> 01:09:00,766
stuff being leaked because
1901
01:09:00,766 --> 01:09:02,533
it will eventually happen.
1902
01:09:03,466 --> 01:09:05,333
I mean, heck, if you touched PlayStation
1903
01:09:05,333 --> 01:09:07,766
at all, your stuff's gone.
1904
01:09:09,066 --> 01:09:10,699
How many leaks they've had. It's crazy.
1905
01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:16,066
No, I think like the UK, Europe. I mean,
1906
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:17,733
here in the States we have I don't know
1907
01:09:17,733 --> 01:09:18,800
if it's really like it's
1908
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:20,333
a third party. It's ID.me.
1909
01:09:21,933 --> 01:09:23,933
I don't know how good it is, but like a
1910
01:09:23,933 --> 01:09:25,233
lot of services integrate
1911
01:09:25,233 --> 01:09:28,133
ID.me. And maybe we just need
1912
01:09:28,166 --> 01:09:31,699
better government level integrations for
1913
01:09:31,699 --> 01:09:33,333
the stuff if they're going to require it.
1914
01:09:34,533 --> 01:09:38,399
I agree. Yeah, I mean, honestly, man,
1915
01:09:39,366 --> 01:09:41,199
they the government like
1916
01:09:41,199 --> 01:09:42,600
foisting all of this on
1917
01:09:43,033 --> 01:09:44,966
private companies is kind of insane,
1918
01:09:44,966 --> 01:09:45,966
especially since it looks like Discord
1919
01:09:45,966 --> 01:09:46,766
was doing it themselves
1920
01:09:47,266 --> 01:09:48,366
or at least they were doing it with
1921
01:09:48,366 --> 01:09:49,600
another. I'm not sure.
1922
01:09:49,766 --> 01:09:51,433
Third party. Yeah, I mean,
1923
01:09:52,466 --> 01:09:54,533
in the fact that they got hacked and like
1924
01:09:54,533 --> 01:09:56,433
actual information got out
1925
01:09:56,433 --> 01:09:57,699
to you, it's not like they
1926
01:09:57,699 --> 01:09:58,866
got hacked and but they didn't get
1927
01:09:58,866 --> 01:10:00,266
anything of value. No, no, no,
1928
01:10:00,266 --> 01:10:02,733
like names and government IDs
1929
01:10:03,266 --> 01:10:06,633
get hacked. So like. They should be
1930
01:10:06,633 --> 01:10:07,533
storing that stuff anyways.
1931
01:10:07,833 --> 01:10:08,466
They should what they should be
1932
01:10:08,500 --> 01:10:12,066
doing is grabbing it, verifying that it's
1933
01:10:12,066 --> 01:10:13,233
real and then deleting
1934
01:10:13,233 --> 01:10:14,866
that data right away. And then
1935
01:10:14,966 --> 01:10:19,133
they mark that account as verified. Yeah.
1936
01:10:19,466 --> 01:10:20,833
So even if it's a third
1937
01:10:20,833 --> 01:10:21,966
party, unless that's what they're
1938
01:10:22,233 --> 01:10:25,366
even if it's that's what they're. Because
1939
01:10:25,366 --> 01:10:27,399
sometimes the third party ones like I
1940
01:10:27,399 --> 01:10:29,066
would assume like ID.me
1941
01:10:29,666 --> 01:10:31,100
would hold on to some of the stuff so
1942
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:32,633
they can make sure when it's cross
1943
01:10:32,633 --> 01:10:34,166
application verified,
1944
01:10:34,866 --> 01:10:36,300
that they can like, okay, yeah, this is
1945
01:10:36,300 --> 01:10:38,399
the same person. We have a verification,
1946
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:40,833
but at least hash it or do something.
1947
01:10:41,300 --> 01:10:46,566
Don't store it directly. Yeah, it seems
1948
01:10:46,566 --> 01:10:48,333
crazy to me that like
1949
01:10:49,033 --> 01:10:51,133
it would get stored. Like why would you
1950
01:10:51,133 --> 01:10:53,500
ever need to like it once
1951
01:10:53,500 --> 01:10:55,466
you've verified someone's ID,
1952
01:10:55,933 --> 01:10:57,800
like there's literally no reason for you
1953
01:10:57,800 --> 01:10:59,566
to hold on to a copy of it.
1954
01:10:59,833 --> 01:11:02,633
You know, dude, that's wild.
1955
01:11:02,633 --> 01:11:04,266
Verify it with the government and maybe
1956
01:11:04,266 --> 01:11:05,300
the government just doesn't
1957
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:06,866
offer good enough resources,
1958
01:11:07,266 --> 01:11:09,033
some of these governments to verify
1959
01:11:09,033 --> 01:11:09,566
because you should be
1960
01:11:09,566 --> 01:11:11,800
hitting some type of service to be
1961
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,033
able to say, Hey, is this a valid person?
1962
01:11:14,233 --> 01:11:16,300
Here's all the stuff. I
1963
01:11:16,300 --> 01:11:18,699
don't know. It's I think it's
1964
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,600
little speed bumps on the way to
1965
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,600
improving some of the systems. And this
1966
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:24,633
is just one of those.
1967
01:11:25,466 --> 01:11:27,399
You shouldn't do it this way. And we need
1968
01:11:27,399 --> 01:11:29,266
better verification process,
1969
01:11:29,899 --> 01:11:31,366
especially if you want that
1970
01:11:31,466 --> 01:11:37,966
internet library card gardener. Yeah, I
1971
01:11:37,966 --> 01:11:39,933
mean, like the idea that
1972
01:11:39,933 --> 01:11:42,233
I've had, I love this idea.
1973
01:11:42,233 --> 01:11:43,933
Honestly, you would go to your library or
1974
01:11:43,933 --> 01:11:44,500
you would go to get
1975
01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:46,033
like your city hall or town
1976
01:11:46,466 --> 01:11:49,033
hall or whatever. And they would just
1977
01:11:49,033 --> 01:11:50,233
cryptograph, they would
1978
01:11:50,233 --> 01:11:51,466
provide you with a cryptographic
1979
01:11:51,533 --> 01:11:53,666
signature. And then it's and then you can
1980
01:11:53,666 --> 01:11:55,199
like sign anything you want.
1981
01:11:55,466 --> 01:11:56,366
And you're on the internet.
1982
01:11:56,566 --> 01:11:59,266
And it's all done with a signature that's
1983
01:11:59,266 --> 01:12:00,866
like, you know, you have
1984
01:12:00,866 --> 01:12:01,833
your public private key,
1985
01:12:02,066 --> 01:12:04,233
and then you're on the internet. And
1986
01:12:04,233 --> 01:12:05,500
that's how we verify everything.
1987
01:12:05,866 --> 01:12:11,066
I like that on a level of that if you
1988
01:12:11,066 --> 01:12:12,166
want to opt into like a
1989
01:12:12,166 --> 01:12:13,733
more secure internet and
1990
01:12:13,733 --> 01:12:14,800
dealing with a lot of these companies
1991
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,533
that want to opt into this, I like that.
1992
01:12:18,466 --> 01:12:20,633
It will leave a little bit of a wild west
1993
01:12:20,633 --> 01:12:22,300
and that's fine. But I,
1994
01:12:22,633 --> 01:12:24,866
for one, don't care about
1995
01:12:25,833 --> 01:12:29,633
that side of things. And it can still be
1996
01:12:29,633 --> 01:12:30,933
anonymous in a lot of ways,
1997
01:12:30,933 --> 01:12:32,033
but you're still verified.
1998
01:12:33,433 --> 01:12:38,166
Yeah, it's a weird world we live in. And
1999
01:12:38,166 --> 01:12:39,899
I don't know if there's one
2000
01:12:39,899 --> 01:12:41,366
great way that everyone would
2001
01:12:41,366 --> 01:12:44,300
be happy about it. Yeah, no, there's no
2002
01:12:44,300 --> 01:12:45,866
way to make everyone happy.
2003
01:12:46,633 --> 01:12:47,666
I've also thought about just
2004
01:12:48,166 --> 01:12:53,033
doing a building our own IPV10 or
2005
01:12:53,033 --> 01:12:58,100
whatever. And at the IP level, having
2006
01:12:58,100 --> 01:13:00,166
individual signatures.
2007
01:13:01,433 --> 01:13:04,033
I think that would be cool. But I'm not
2008
01:13:04,033 --> 01:13:05,733
like technically, I'm not
2009
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:08,699
cryptographically minded enough to
2010
01:13:08,699 --> 01:13:09,866
actually implement something like that.
2011
01:13:11,266 --> 01:13:13,633
Personally, this might sound weird, but
2012
01:13:13,633 --> 01:13:14,800
this is one of the
2013
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,033
blockchain actually would be a
2014
01:13:17,033 --> 01:13:21,533
little helpful on this and NFTs is doing
2015
01:13:21,533 --> 01:13:23,033
some of this based on
2016
01:13:23,033 --> 01:13:24,366
that and having a mobile app.
2017
01:13:24,666 --> 01:13:27,066
If you want to talk about future, I'm
2018
01:13:27,066 --> 01:13:28,633
tired of having to get my
2019
01:13:28,633 --> 01:13:30,566
mail and vote put in through
2020
01:13:30,566 --> 01:13:32,033
the mail. I'd rather just have an app
2021
01:13:32,033 --> 01:13:34,566
that is heavily secured
2022
01:13:34,566 --> 01:13:36,333
through some of these, I think,
2023
01:13:37,899 --> 01:13:40,166
good security practices to then just
2024
01:13:40,166 --> 01:13:41,633
check to see. Because then
2025
01:13:41,633 --> 01:13:43,133
with that, you could vote,
2026
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:45,166
but you could also check with the
2027
01:13:45,166 --> 01:13:46,466
government to see if your vote ever
2028
01:13:46,466 --> 01:13:47,800
changed. That would be nice.
2029
01:13:49,433 --> 01:13:51,100
I don't know. There's a lot of ways to do
2030
01:13:51,100 --> 01:13:51,866
it. And people might
2031
01:13:51,866 --> 01:13:52,866
not like that, but...
2032
01:13:53,533 --> 01:13:57,133
I lean towards paper ballots all the way
2033
01:13:57,133 --> 01:13:59,800
forever and no electronic voting ever.
2034
01:14:00,666 --> 01:14:02,399
Yeah, I think both can be heavily
2035
01:14:02,399 --> 01:14:03,266
corrupted. It's just a
2036
01:14:03,266 --> 01:14:04,366
lot harder to do with paper.
2037
01:14:05,466 --> 01:14:08,733
In the sense of like, the paper might not
2038
01:14:08,733 --> 01:14:09,533
get counted at all.
2039
01:14:09,833 --> 01:14:10,600
You don't know if your
2040
01:14:10,866 --> 01:14:12,066
vote's getting counted. There's been
2041
01:14:12,066 --> 01:14:13,533
ballots that have been left out.
2042
01:14:14,066 --> 01:14:15,933
Actually, in this last election, a lot of
2043
01:14:15,933 --> 01:14:17,399
that happened and people don't realize
2044
01:14:19,433 --> 01:14:22,966
that that's why I'd prefer electronic and
2045
01:14:22,966 --> 01:14:26,166
in a system that is
2046
01:14:26,166 --> 01:14:28,666
heavily maintained by a third
2047
01:14:28,666 --> 01:14:30,566
part... Not a third party, but like a
2048
01:14:30,566 --> 01:14:32,866
non-political entity of
2049
01:14:32,866 --> 01:14:34,000
the government that's...
2050
01:14:34,533 --> 01:14:35,566
Which I don't know if that exists
2051
01:14:35,566 --> 01:14:37,266
anymore, but we're getting really deep
2052
01:14:37,266 --> 01:14:38,066
into this type of stuff
2053
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:40,466
where I would just like better
2054
01:14:40,466 --> 01:14:42,033
verification processes and
2055
01:14:42,033 --> 01:14:43,233
then I'd want to play with those
2056
01:14:43,233 --> 01:14:44,766
people online. I don't want to deal with
2057
01:14:44,766 --> 01:14:46,399
assholes. That have
2058
01:14:46,399 --> 01:14:48,899
to hide behind their...
2059
01:14:49,666 --> 01:14:51,333
Being anonymous. I don't like that.
2060
01:14:52,033 --> 01:14:52,966
Speaking of assholes...
2061
01:14:56,833 --> 01:14:58,733
Hi-Tech, what's going on with this, man?
2062
01:14:58,933 --> 01:15:00,699
You just called Hi-Tech an asshole?
2063
01:15:01,199 --> 01:15:04,366
No. He knows what he did.
2064
01:15:04,399 --> 01:15:08,833
Yeah, I included this topic. Basically,
2065
01:15:09,833 --> 01:15:11,333
they say it's a teenager,
2066
01:15:11,733 --> 01:15:13,133
but he's legally an adult.
2067
01:15:14,533 --> 01:15:15,866
First of all, do you guys
2068
01:15:15,866 --> 01:15:17,433
consider 19 still a teenager?
2069
01:15:18,333 --> 01:15:20,933
I consider anything under 27 to be a
2070
01:15:20,933 --> 01:15:22,199
teenager. I was going to say, your
2071
01:15:22,199 --> 01:15:23,066
brain's still developing
2072
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,866
like up to 25, isn't it? Or is it 27?
2073
01:15:26,866 --> 01:15:27,566
I think it's 27.
2074
01:15:28,133 --> 01:15:28,766
Yeah, your brain's
2075
01:15:28,766 --> 01:15:29,933
still developing up to 27.
2076
01:15:30,966 --> 01:15:34,766
But basically, yes. This 19-year-old guy
2077
01:15:34,766 --> 01:15:37,166
made a legal threat against Epic.
2078
01:15:38,166 --> 01:15:40,533
Not Epic, but some specific employees.
2079
01:15:42,466 --> 01:15:44,000
I mean, he says he's going to kill
2080
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,433
employees of the company.
2081
01:15:46,833 --> 01:15:50,666
Now, I don't think I've read further into
2082
01:15:50,666 --> 01:15:52,199
it. I don't know why he
2083
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:53,266
decided he wanted to threaten
2084
01:15:53,266 --> 01:15:55,633
Epic Games. It sounds like maybe there
2085
01:15:55,633 --> 01:15:56,533
was some dumb bullshit
2086
01:15:56,533 --> 01:15:57,933
with Fortnite. Honestly,
2087
01:15:58,333 --> 01:16:00,766
it's probably Fortnite. That's the only
2088
01:16:00,766 --> 01:16:01,333
game they developed,
2089
01:16:02,233 --> 01:16:03,399
but like it's the else.
2090
01:16:04,766 --> 01:16:07,033
Yeah, what other online games do they
2091
01:16:07,033 --> 01:16:08,766
have? That makes sense. I
2092
01:16:08,766 --> 01:16:10,333
mean, any of these online games
2093
01:16:10,633 --> 01:16:12,433
have death threats. So I'm shocked that
2094
01:16:12,433 --> 01:16:14,433
this is not new news.
2095
01:16:14,433 --> 01:16:15,666
There are death threats against
2096
01:16:15,766 --> 01:16:18,733
everyone every day that are public, in
2097
01:16:18,733 --> 01:16:21,033
the public. It's crazy.
2098
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,266
So according to this article, he was
2099
01:16:24,266 --> 01:16:28,433
indicted by a grand jury in South
2100
01:16:28,433 --> 01:16:29,566
Dakota's Western Division
2101
01:16:30,066 --> 01:16:32,633
for sending threats between October and
2102
01:16:32,633 --> 01:16:37,600
November of 2024. And he
2103
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:38,966
admitted to sending messages
2104
01:16:39,199 --> 01:16:41,933
threatening to kill employees of the
2105
01:16:41,933 --> 01:16:43,800
company. Damn, dude.
2106
01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:47,533
This is not an uncommon thing. People
2107
01:16:47,533 --> 01:16:48,266
send death threats all
2108
01:16:48,266 --> 01:16:49,100
the time. Are people getting
2109
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:51,000
prosecuted like this? Because I don't
2110
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:51,833
hear this side of things.
2111
01:16:51,833 --> 01:16:53,433
They should be. I agree. They
2112
01:16:53,433 --> 01:16:55,233
should be. I just don't hear it.
2113
01:16:55,666 --> 01:16:58,033
Honestly, man, I mean, I
2114
01:16:58,033 --> 01:16:59,766
think Bungie sued once.
2115
01:17:01,733 --> 01:17:03,933
Bungie is surprisingly litigious when it
2116
01:17:03,933 --> 01:17:04,733
comes to stuff like this,
2117
01:17:04,733 --> 01:17:05,699
but I mean, that's good.
2118
01:17:06,633 --> 01:17:09,033
The more people get sued for saying
2119
01:17:09,033 --> 01:17:09,966
bullshit as developers,
2120
01:17:10,333 --> 01:17:12,300
the better the game will be.
2121
01:17:13,433 --> 01:17:14,866
I agree with that. You should not
2122
01:17:14,866 --> 01:17:16,800
threaten to kill anyone. Goddamn it.
2123
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:17,833
Like, how hard is this
2124
01:17:17,866 --> 01:17:20,633
to understand to not threaten to kill
2125
01:17:20,633 --> 01:17:23,000
someone? I mean, but this is
2126
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,633
going back to our discussion
2127
01:17:24,633 --> 01:17:26,533
at the risk of sinking back into that.
2128
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:29,933
Like if you had to sign every
2129
01:17:29,933 --> 01:17:31,233
interaction you did with your
2130
01:17:31,233 --> 01:17:35,733
public key, then one of the end of your
2131
01:17:35,733 --> 01:17:37,199
public key was yours, you
2132
01:17:37,199 --> 01:17:39,966
know, and you either couldn't
2133
01:17:39,966 --> 01:17:42,266
change it or or future public keys were
2134
01:17:42,266 --> 01:17:43,433
also tainted with your
2135
01:17:43,433 --> 01:17:45,000
criminal record. Guess what?
2136
01:17:45,066 --> 01:17:46,666
If you did this once or twice, you got
2137
01:17:46,666 --> 01:17:47,466
caught doing it.
2138
01:17:48,066 --> 01:17:50,133
Consequences are you can't fucking send
2139
01:17:50,133 --> 01:17:51,333
messages anymore. You know what I'm
2140
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:55,266
saying? Yeah. Like that's I don't know,
2141
01:17:55,266 --> 01:17:56,100
dude, like I feel like
2142
01:17:56,100 --> 01:17:58,933
this, you know, having, you know, five
2143
01:17:58,933 --> 01:18:00,433
years in prison, two hundred fifty
2144
01:18:00,433 --> 01:18:01,100
thousand dollars fine,
2145
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:02,766
that'll follow you for a while. But like
2146
01:18:02,766 --> 01:18:04,466
if everybody knows that,
2147
01:18:04,466 --> 01:18:06,533
hey, this guy sent death
2148
01:18:06,533 --> 01:18:08,666
threats and he got like banned from using
2149
01:18:08,666 --> 01:18:09,833
the Internet completely,
2150
01:18:10,566 --> 01:18:11,666
that would I think that would
2151
01:18:11,666 --> 01:18:15,533
have a bigger. It's the anonymous nature
2152
01:18:15,533 --> 01:18:19,133
of things. Yeah. So now,
2153
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,266
as per game developer in
2154
01:18:21,266 --> 01:18:23,433
a twenty twenty three twenty twenty three
2155
01:18:23,433 --> 01:18:25,533
GDC survey, they found
2156
01:18:25,533 --> 01:18:26,833
that ninety one percent of
2157
01:18:26,833 --> 01:18:28,500
survey developers thought that harassment
2158
01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:29,833
and toxicity towards
2159
01:18:29,833 --> 01:18:31,333
game developers was an issue
2160
01:18:31,933 --> 01:18:34,533
with forty two percent of it calling it a
2161
01:18:34,533 --> 01:18:37,733
very serious issue. And
2162
01:18:37,733 --> 01:18:38,366
forty percent of those
2163
01:18:38,399 --> 01:18:40,433
developers responded that they personally
2164
01:18:40,433 --> 01:18:42,033
witnessed or experienced
2165
01:18:42,033 --> 01:18:43,566
that kind of harassment,
2166
01:18:44,566 --> 01:18:48,199
which gamers come on and we can do better
2167
01:18:48,199 --> 01:18:50,766
than this. We should be better than this.
2168
01:18:51,033 --> 01:18:53,399
This is like some Hollywood shit. The
2169
01:18:53,399 --> 01:18:55,133
problem is there's a
2170
01:18:55,133 --> 01:18:57,399
billion plus gamers in the world.
2171
01:18:57,833 --> 01:18:59,966
So you're going to get bad actors no
2172
01:18:59,966 --> 01:19:01,833
matter what. And the problem is most of
2173
01:19:01,833 --> 01:19:02,466
us are not doing it.
2174
01:19:02,466 --> 01:19:05,166
It's a small fact, a small portion of
2175
01:19:05,166 --> 01:19:07,333
them that grew up chronically online
2176
01:19:07,333 --> 01:19:08,633
playing these games.
2177
01:19:08,633 --> 01:19:10,433
It's their whole identity oftentimes or
2178
01:19:10,433 --> 01:19:14,333
they just like the troll. And I don't
2179
01:19:14,333 --> 01:19:16,399
think I don't know of
2180
01:19:16,399 --> 01:19:17,833
throwing something in jail because
2181
01:19:17,833 --> 01:19:20,366
everyone else kind of like on this level
2182
01:19:20,366 --> 01:19:22,500
does it. But taking it
2183
01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:24,833
away is I think a great idea. Gartner,
2184
01:19:24,833 --> 01:19:27,233
you should be like ordered.
2185
01:19:27,233 --> 01:19:27,933
You can't get on the Internet
2186
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:31,133
anymore for like 10 years. Yeah. Or like
2187
01:19:31,133 --> 01:19:31,899
you're banned from
2188
01:19:31,899 --> 01:19:33,466
playing competitive online games
2189
01:19:34,066 --> 01:19:36,366
because clearly it affects you too
2190
01:19:36,366 --> 01:19:38,733
severely. You know, like I
2191
01:19:38,733 --> 01:19:41,266
would be very shocked if this guy
2192
01:19:41,266 --> 01:19:44,433
was a if this teenager was a single
2193
01:19:44,433 --> 01:19:46,433
player gamer who has who
2194
01:19:46,433 --> 01:19:47,933
never plays online. I would be
2195
01:19:48,333 --> 01:19:53,266
absolutely floored if this kid wasn't an
2196
01:19:53,266 --> 01:19:55,133
online gamer. I mean, how
2197
01:19:55,133 --> 01:19:56,300
could he be? How could he be
2198
01:19:56,333 --> 01:19:58,233
a single player game? He plays Fortnite.
2199
01:19:59,066 --> 01:20:00,033
Oh, does it say Fortnite?
2200
01:20:00,399 --> 01:20:02,933
Well, no, but like he this
2201
01:20:02,933 --> 01:20:04,633
was directed at Epic Games. There's no
2202
01:20:04,633 --> 01:20:06,866
way it wasn't. Okay. It
2203
01:20:06,866 --> 01:20:07,833
could have been because Alan
2204
01:20:07,833 --> 01:20:12,433
Wake 2 was Epic exclusive. Let's give him
2205
01:20:12,433 --> 01:20:14,000
slack now that he could
2206
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,066
have been 38 years old.
2207
01:20:16,266 --> 01:20:20,899
No, it wasn't me. Yeah, he's 19. I'm
2208
01:20:20,899 --> 01:20:21,866
playing off. It was it
2209
01:20:21,866 --> 01:20:22,866
was me, but it's not me.
2210
01:20:23,399 --> 01:20:24,866
Well, no, but I mean, like seriously,
2211
01:20:25,199 --> 01:20:26,133
seriously, there are some
2212
01:20:26,133 --> 01:20:28,133
people who play online games who
2213
01:20:28,633 --> 01:20:30,600
like I'm not saying that everyone who
2214
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:31,966
plays online games is like
2215
01:20:31,966 --> 01:20:33,533
a psychopath or whatever,
2216
01:20:33,533 --> 01:20:36,199
but there are clearly I've witnessed it
2217
01:20:36,199 --> 01:20:37,333
personally. There are some
2218
01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:39,166
people who play online games
2219
01:20:40,066 --> 01:20:43,833
and they cannot cope with like the amount
2220
01:20:43,833 --> 01:20:46,966
of like competitiveness
2221
01:20:46,966 --> 01:20:50,033
and it just drives them into
2222
01:20:50,266 --> 01:20:53,033
just horrific behavior in the real world.
2223
01:20:53,300 --> 01:20:54,566
Oh, it's a very small
2224
01:20:54,566 --> 01:20:55,366
percentage of people,
2225
01:20:55,366 --> 01:20:57,366
but it is a real thing. It is a real
2226
01:20:57,366 --> 01:20:58,466
thing and it happens a lot.
2227
01:20:58,633 --> 01:20:59,633
Like I have League of Legends,
2228
01:20:59,633 --> 01:21:00,966
a lot of other games I've played where
2229
01:21:00,966 --> 01:21:02,266
people have done have
2230
01:21:02,266 --> 01:21:03,466
had death threats. Now,
2231
01:21:03,699 --> 01:21:05,833
in that type of heated situation, like
2232
01:21:05,833 --> 01:21:07,033
obviously they're not going to fall
2233
01:21:07,033 --> 01:21:07,733
through because they're
2234
01:21:07,733 --> 01:21:10,566
just like freaking have never moved a day
2235
01:21:10,566 --> 01:21:11,766
in their life. So them being
2236
01:21:11,766 --> 01:21:12,866
able to get out the door is
2237
01:21:12,866 --> 01:21:16,366
crazy, but they go make it feel like a
2238
01:21:16,366 --> 01:21:18,166
buff animal. But they
2239
01:21:18,166 --> 01:21:19,166
crack a mountain, do them,
2240
01:21:19,199 --> 01:21:22,133
break a sweat. Yeah, that's the best way
2241
01:21:22,133 --> 01:21:26,266
to put it. It only takes
2242
01:21:26,266 --> 01:21:28,866
like one person and then fall
2243
01:21:28,866 --> 01:21:30,100
through and then you're going to have
2244
01:21:30,100 --> 01:21:31,533
instead of school shooters,
2245
01:21:31,533 --> 01:21:32,433
you're going to have just like
2246
01:21:33,199 --> 01:21:34,633
online shooters because it's going to be
2247
01:21:34,633 --> 01:21:36,266
the new hot thing to do, which is crazy.
2248
01:21:37,666 --> 01:21:38,533
And we should bring back
2249
01:21:38,533 --> 01:21:41,899
dueling. Should bring back what?
2250
01:21:42,166 --> 01:21:45,333
Do you dishonor my, you dishonor my, you
2251
01:21:45,333 --> 01:21:47,699
dishonor my, uh, me,
2252
01:21:50,066 --> 01:21:53,066
a pox on the house. Do you bite your
2253
01:21:53,066 --> 01:21:54,033
thumb at me, mister?
2254
01:21:55,366 --> 01:21:57,266
I'm not dueling. Like if someone's like,
2255
01:21:57,266 --> 01:21:59,899
Hey, let's do on peace out. Yeah. Yeah.
2256
01:21:59,933 --> 01:22:01,133
Yeah. It would have been a lot cooler if
2257
01:22:01,133 --> 01:22:02,133
we were still using
2258
01:22:02,133 --> 01:22:03,266
fucking swords and shit,
2259
01:22:03,266 --> 01:22:06,833
but like everyone's putting iron. Yeah.
2260
01:22:07,633 --> 01:22:09,466
Until you're bleeding out, even though
2261
01:22:09,466 --> 01:22:11,399
you won because you got stabbed once.
2262
01:22:13,666 --> 01:22:14,833
This sounds cool on paper.
2263
01:22:17,766 --> 01:22:19,366
That's funny. Yeah.
2264
01:22:19,366 --> 01:22:20,866
We've had founding fathers die from
2265
01:22:20,866 --> 01:22:22,233
dueling. That's the crazy part.
2266
01:22:22,566 --> 01:22:23,233
Hamilton. Yeah.
2267
01:22:25,533 --> 01:22:29,000
Yeah. Oh, they were the original
2268
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:30,333
trollers. They're like, ah,
2269
01:22:32,199 --> 01:22:33,433
it kind of was, they're going to do a
2270
01:22:33,433 --> 01:22:33,899
death threat and then
2271
01:22:33,899 --> 01:22:34,933
like going to duel it out.
2272
01:22:34,966 --> 01:22:37,966
Oh, speaking of another epic story, uh,
2273
01:22:37,966 --> 01:22:39,899
rock band four to be delisted.
2274
01:22:42,066 --> 01:22:44,033
I had forgotten that,
2275
01:22:44,033 --> 01:22:46,066
uh, epic bot harmonics.
2276
01:22:47,666 --> 01:22:49,466
And now I'm sad again because I was
2277
01:22:49,466 --> 01:22:51,300
reminded that epic bot harmonics.
2278
01:22:51,533 --> 01:22:54,833
Yeah. This is this is sad. I can't
2279
01:22:54,833 --> 01:22:55,766
believe it was good.
2280
01:22:56,033 --> 01:22:58,666
Yeah. I can't believe that the rock
2281
01:22:58,666 --> 01:22:59,899
expands is now entirely
2282
01:22:59,899 --> 01:23:01,266
in Fortnite and not like an
2283
01:23:01,266 --> 01:23:02,566
actual like game itself
2284
01:23:02,566 --> 01:23:05,866
that you can just buy. Yeah.
2285
01:23:08,366 --> 01:23:10,233
There isn't a PC version, right? Like
2286
01:23:10,233 --> 01:23:12,166
this is for PlayStation and Xbox.
2287
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:16,266
There is not a PC version. I mean, there
2288
01:23:16,266 --> 01:23:18,899
are guitar here, simulators on PC,
2289
01:23:19,133 --> 01:23:20,666
but it's full of like fucking insane
2290
01:23:20,666 --> 01:23:22,566
lunatics. Uh, that's
2291
01:23:22,566 --> 01:23:24,033
generally how it is with like beat.
2292
01:23:24,033 --> 01:23:26,000
That's how it is with like custom, like
2293
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,333
games with custom like
2294
01:23:28,333 --> 01:23:29,733
music and like tracks is that
2295
01:23:29,766 --> 01:23:31,466
eventually only appeals to like the
2296
01:23:31,466 --> 01:23:32,533
hardcore mass, the
2297
01:23:32,533 --> 01:23:33,866
what percenters basically.
2298
01:23:34,566 --> 01:23:38,000
I was literally playing, uh, beat saber
2299
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,266
this morning and I had a
2300
01:23:40,266 --> 01:23:42,233
few custom tracks and like
2301
01:23:42,566 --> 01:23:45,266
most of the ones that I had are like
2302
01:23:45,266 --> 01:23:46,966
expert plus only have
2303
01:23:46,966 --> 01:23:48,533
you ever played beat saber?
2304
01:23:49,066 --> 01:23:51,233
Uh, yes. I don't know if I've ever played
2305
01:23:51,233 --> 01:23:52,533
expert plus beat saber.
2306
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:55,666
I can play like games on, I can play
2307
01:23:55,666 --> 01:23:57,166
songs on expert most of the time.
2308
01:23:57,533 --> 01:24:00,433
Expert plus is like you hit every single
2309
01:24:00,433 --> 01:24:01,733
note and you have to do like this.
2310
01:24:01,766 --> 01:24:04,933
It's wild. I can't do it. Um, anyway,
2311
01:24:04,933 --> 01:24:06,266
different story, but no, I
2312
01:24:06,266 --> 01:24:08,000
agree with you. Like, um,
2313
01:24:08,566 --> 01:24:10,866
you know, rock band for I didn't, I never
2314
01:24:10,866 --> 01:24:11,666
played rock band for
2315
01:24:11,833 --> 01:24:13,066
for cause I haven't never
2316
01:24:13,066 --> 01:24:16,666
owned like an Xbox one or a yes.
2317
01:24:16,666 --> 01:24:18,866
Yes. Well, I do have a PS4 actually, but
2318
01:24:18,866 --> 01:24:21,333
I never, I never played rock band for.
2319
01:24:21,333 --> 01:24:23,666
All right. Well, uh, so by the time this
2320
01:24:23,666 --> 01:24:24,933
episode releases, I mean,
2321
01:24:24,933 --> 01:24:25,500
it's already going to be
2322
01:24:25,533 --> 01:24:28,000
delisted, but gardener, if you want to
2323
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,399
get it on your PS4 now, and now is your
2324
01:24:30,399 --> 01:24:31,933
only time to buy it.
2325
01:24:33,333 --> 01:24:35,766
I, uh, I can't get it on my PS4 because
2326
01:24:35,766 --> 01:24:38,600
my PS4, uh, has old firmware
2327
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:40,533
on it so I can like hack it.
2328
01:24:40,633 --> 01:24:42,566
So I'm not going to update it.
2329
01:24:42,733 --> 01:24:45,766
Well, I guess you could, uh, well, shit,
2330
01:24:45,766 --> 01:24:46,500
man, if you can't buy
2331
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:48,866
rock band for, uh, damn.
2332
01:24:49,533 --> 01:24:52,233
Well, you know what I do have. I have
2333
01:24:52,233 --> 01:24:54,033
rock band three deluxe on
2334
01:24:54,033 --> 01:24:56,466
my Xbox 360 that's hacked
2335
01:24:57,933 --> 01:24:59,800
rock band three. So have you
2336
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:01,766
played rock band three deluxe?
2337
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:04,966
Not deluxe now.
2338
01:25:05,166 --> 01:25:07,866
No. Deluxe dude is a community mod of
2339
01:25:07,866 --> 01:25:09,866
rock band three and you can like load
2340
01:25:09,866 --> 01:25:11,100
custom songs into it.
2341
01:25:11,100 --> 01:25:13,066
And most of the songs that are on the,
2342
01:25:13,066 --> 01:25:15,100
uh, rock band four are
2343
01:25:15,100 --> 01:25:16,300
on rock band three deluxe.
2344
01:25:17,033 --> 01:25:18,533
Oh, that's cool.
2345
01:25:19,266 --> 01:25:20,166
That is pretty cool.
2346
01:25:20,933 --> 01:25:21,133
Yeah.
2347
01:25:21,633 --> 01:25:23,933
I miss, I miss rock band. I really,
2348
01:25:23,933 --> 01:25:26,066
really wish it'd come back. I'm shocked.
2349
01:25:28,100 --> 01:25:29,166
I'm shocked that we
2350
01:25:29,166 --> 01:25:30,433
have not gotten a new one.
2351
01:25:30,899 --> 01:25:33,300
Hey everyone. On Sunday, October 5th,
2352
01:25:33,300 --> 01:25:34,866
2025, rock band four turns
2353
01:25:34,866 --> 01:25:36,766
10. What a ride it's been.
2354
01:25:37,066 --> 01:25:39,133
This is on their 10th anniversary. I
2355
01:25:39,133 --> 01:25:40,100
could not have thought of
2356
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:41,666
a bigger slap in the face.
2357
01:25:42,866 --> 01:25:44,433
I mean, I get it though. Music licenses
2358
01:25:44,433 --> 01:25:45,566
are never perpetual.
2359
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,533
And you know, since rock bands, like
2360
01:25:49,533 --> 01:25:51,066
entire gameplay is the music.
2361
01:25:51,933 --> 01:25:52,166
Yeah.
2362
01:25:52,566 --> 01:25:53,800
Oh, God.
2363
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,933
The thing is, like, if you own it, you
2364
01:25:55,933 --> 01:25:56,966
still have all the
2365
01:25:56,966 --> 01:25:58,133
game, all of those stuff.
2366
01:25:58,566 --> 01:26:01,166
And they've been releasing new songs for
2367
01:26:01,166 --> 01:26:03,833
these games pretty much every week.
2368
01:26:03,833 --> 01:26:05,666
Right. Like at least one or two new songs
2369
01:26:05,666 --> 01:26:07,199
every week for 10 years.
2370
01:26:07,766 --> 01:26:08,066
Yeah.
2371
01:26:08,466 --> 01:26:09,066
Yeah. Yeah.
2372
01:26:09,233 --> 01:26:10,766
You know, speaking of epic games.
2373
01:26:11,766 --> 01:26:14,433
So the new, so Fortnite's getting the
2374
01:26:14,433 --> 01:26:15,966
K-pop demon slayer song.
2375
01:26:16,833 --> 01:26:18,033
K-pop demon slayer skins.
2376
01:26:18,633 --> 01:26:19,933
But they're not, but they're not
2377
01:26:19,933 --> 01:26:22,266
including any of the songs in the movie.
2378
01:26:24,033 --> 01:26:25,866
In the music like game.
2379
01:26:26,766 --> 01:26:27,866
Really bizarre.
2380
01:26:28,433 --> 01:26:30,266
It's crazy because when they did Hatsune
2381
01:26:30,266 --> 01:26:32,233
Miku, they brought over a
2382
01:26:32,233 --> 01:26:33,433
bunch of Hatsune Miku songs
2383
01:26:33,433 --> 01:26:36,100
that you can play, but they didn't do the
2384
01:26:36,100 --> 01:26:38,033
same for K-pop demon hunters, which is
2385
01:26:38,033 --> 01:26:39,233
kind of insane to me.
2386
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:44,100
How is Fort, how does Fortnite even is it
2387
01:26:44,100 --> 01:26:46,166
like rock band, but in Fortnite?
2388
01:26:47,166 --> 01:26:48,466
Fortnite Festival.
2389
01:26:50,233 --> 01:26:51,066
Let me look at some.
2390
01:26:51,533 --> 01:26:55,266
Yeah, it's rock band or guitar hero.
2391
01:26:55,533 --> 01:26:57,800
But in Fortnite, how do you play it?
2392
01:26:58,133 --> 01:26:58,633
Yeah, I was going to
2393
01:26:58,633 --> 01:27:01,300
ask, like the controller or.
2394
01:27:01,866 --> 01:27:03,933
Well, I mean, they have a Fortnite
2395
01:27:03,933 --> 01:27:05,366
Festival guitar controller.
2396
01:27:05,933 --> 01:27:06,233
Really?
2397
01:27:07,333 --> 01:27:08,866
Oh, yeah, it looks like it.
2398
01:27:08,899 --> 01:27:11,933
I mean, so they have like a.
2399
01:27:13,933 --> 01:27:14,933
They had so there are a
2400
01:27:14,933 --> 01:27:15,733
couple of different controls.
2401
01:27:15,933 --> 01:27:16,633
They have one that actually
2402
01:27:16,633 --> 01:27:17,866
looks like a guitar, of course.
2403
01:27:19,233 --> 01:27:21,266
But then another company made like one
2404
01:27:21,266 --> 01:27:22,966
that attaches like the bottom of a
2405
01:27:22,966 --> 01:27:23,766
standard controller.
2406
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,233
And that has five frets.
2407
01:27:27,533 --> 01:27:28,966
Is this a Gorilla's?
2408
01:27:30,133 --> 01:27:31,233
Yeah, they have the Gorilla's too.
2409
01:27:31,566 --> 01:27:33,266
Oh my God, dude, I love the Gorilla.
2410
01:27:38,166 --> 01:27:38,966
I don't like that
2411
01:27:38,966 --> 01:27:40,333
they tied it to Fortnite.
2412
01:27:41,433 --> 01:27:42,433
I don't like that either.
2413
01:27:42,433 --> 01:27:43,833
That's the only thing that like if they
2414
01:27:43,833 --> 01:27:45,266
didn't do that, if they
2415
01:27:45,266 --> 01:27:46,366
made it a separate game.
2416
01:27:48,533 --> 01:27:49,733
But I called it Fortnite Festival.
2417
01:27:50,033 --> 01:27:51,033
Like you didn't have to download the
2418
01:27:51,033 --> 01:27:51,899
entirety of Fortnite
2419
01:27:51,899 --> 01:27:53,366
Battle Royale to play it.
2420
01:27:53,766 --> 01:27:55,100
Did that be a little better?
2421
01:27:55,966 --> 01:27:59,333
If they made a separate standalone rock
2422
01:27:59,333 --> 01:28:00,766
band style game, if if Epic did with the
2423
01:28:01,199 --> 01:28:06,566
harmonics team, I would actually buy that
2424
01:28:06,566 --> 01:28:09,133
game and play it because I love that.
2425
01:28:09,833 --> 01:28:11,633
And that's one of like that's rock band
2426
01:28:11,633 --> 01:28:14,033
is like my Dead Space.
2427
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,000
James, you don't bring it up very often.
2428
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:19,233
So I don't know if I can believe you.
2429
01:28:19,566 --> 01:28:19,933
Oh, sorry.
2430
01:28:20,233 --> 01:28:23,800
Yeah, you don't annoy every listener
2431
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:25,933
every time with Dead Space talk.
2432
01:28:26,566 --> 01:28:27,500
No, I agree.
2433
01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:27,966
I love rock band.
2434
01:28:27,966 --> 01:28:31,866
I still I think I still have one of the rock bands. I don't remember which one
2435
01:28:31,866 --> 01:28:35,166
somewhere, but Fortnite Festival.
2436
01:28:35,433 --> 01:28:36,666
This is actually standalone.
2437
01:28:38,733 --> 01:28:40,466
So is it just the guitar?
2438
01:28:40,733 --> 01:28:41,800
Or is there other like is
2439
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:43,466
there other instruments?
2440
01:28:44,866 --> 01:28:48,000
I think it's one.
2441
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:48,466
Let me see.
2442
01:28:49,066 --> 01:28:49,266
drums.
2443
01:28:49,899 --> 01:28:52,066
Drum set for festival. C.E. Drum set for festival.
2444
01:28:52,533 --> 01:28:53,600
C.E.
2445
01:28:57,866 --> 01:28:59,066
That's a good question.
2446
01:29:00,466 --> 01:29:01,666
I'd actually be
2447
01:29:01,666 --> 01:29:02,733
interested in this, maybe.
2448
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:05,533
Yeah, I also am kind of interested.
2449
01:29:06,366 --> 01:29:07,666
I mean, I'm kind of
2450
01:29:07,666 --> 01:29:08,800
vaguely interested, too.
2451
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,199
Next week, Gardner's gonna be like, I'm
2452
01:29:11,199 --> 01:29:12,000
playing Fortnite now.
2453
01:29:12,300 --> 01:29:13,166
It was the drug.
2454
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:14,966
He got me into Fortnite.
2455
01:29:15,966 --> 01:29:16,600
Start to do the dance.
2456
01:29:16,933 --> 01:29:17,833
Yeah, you have to like
2457
01:29:17,833 --> 01:29:19,966
you have to build like.
2458
01:29:21,266 --> 01:29:23,366
Oh, man, I had a joke.
2459
01:29:23,366 --> 01:29:24,266
I lost it.
2460
01:29:25,933 --> 01:29:28,333
Yeah, so I know a lot of guys that got
2461
01:29:28,333 --> 01:29:30,466
into Fortnite Festival or Fortnite
2462
01:29:30,466 --> 01:29:32,066
in general because of the Hatsune Miku
2463
01:29:32,066 --> 01:29:33,333
skins they released, too.
2464
01:29:33,533 --> 01:29:34,933
So wow.
2465
01:29:35,766 --> 01:29:38,000
Yeah, it just shows that if you bring the
2466
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,300
right APs, I'll probably they'll
2467
01:29:39,300 --> 01:29:40,733
probably get you to play Fortnite, too.
2468
01:29:43,566 --> 01:29:44,533
I'm still of the opinion
2469
01:29:44,533 --> 01:29:45,433
that Fortnite's not that bad.
2470
01:29:45,433 --> 01:29:47,033
It's just not a game for me.
2471
01:29:47,033 --> 01:29:47,966
Oh, no, I'm not saying
2472
01:29:47,966 --> 01:29:49,033
Fortnite is bad at all.
2473
01:29:49,033 --> 01:29:49,733
Fortnite's not bad.
2474
01:29:49,733 --> 01:29:50,399
It's just not fun.
2475
01:29:50,866 --> 01:29:52,199
I know, but everyone really.
2476
01:29:52,199 --> 01:29:54,066
Well, it is fun for a generation.
2477
01:29:54,466 --> 01:29:55,166
It's fun to hate.
2478
01:29:55,166 --> 01:29:56,433
It's fun to hate on it.
2479
01:29:56,866 --> 01:29:57,966
But so many people hate it.
2480
01:29:57,966 --> 01:29:59,166
And I'm just like, you're just driving.
2481
01:29:59,433 --> 01:30:01,266
Like, I think sometimes you're driving a
2482
01:30:01,266 --> 01:30:02,133
certain generation away.
2483
01:30:02,500 --> 01:30:08,166
But yeah, I think well, I just for my own
2484
01:30:08,166 --> 01:30:11,633
sanity, I don't find like
2485
01:30:12,399 --> 01:30:14,133
playing games with your friends is fun.
2486
01:30:14,633 --> 01:30:17,033
If the game itself isn't fun, but you're
2487
01:30:17,033 --> 01:30:18,399
playing with your friends, then you're
2488
01:30:18,399 --> 01:30:20,633
still probably having fun, but that's not
2489
01:30:20,633 --> 01:30:22,000
the right kind of fun because I'm a
2490
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:22,333
certain budget.
2491
01:30:22,966 --> 01:30:23,466
All right.
2492
01:30:23,633 --> 01:30:24,866
I played OG Fortnite
2493
01:30:24,866 --> 01:30:26,333
and I had fun with it.
2494
01:30:26,733 --> 01:30:27,000
Okay.
2495
01:30:28,233 --> 01:30:30,033
I got my victory royale a few times.
2496
01:30:30,366 --> 01:30:32,699
I'm saying I also funny enough, I bought
2497
01:30:32,699 --> 01:30:34,533
the the OG Fortnite
2498
01:30:34,533 --> 01:30:36,933
before it was a battle royale.
2499
01:30:37,300 --> 01:30:39,133
Oh, actually like tower defense game.
2500
01:30:40,500 --> 01:30:41,366
I don't know if it's tower.
2501
01:30:41,366 --> 01:30:42,300
It was a defense game, though.
2502
01:30:43,266 --> 01:30:45,666
Well, I mean, they split it off and then
2503
01:30:45,666 --> 01:30:46,833
they canceled it essentially.
2504
01:30:48,366 --> 01:30:49,133
Are they are they?
2505
01:30:49,199 --> 01:30:50,533
Yeah, I remember they were saying they
2506
01:30:50,533 --> 01:30:52,266
were going to release Save the World like
2507
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,433
many, many times over.
2508
01:30:54,433 --> 01:30:55,466
But like, I guess.
2509
01:30:55,533 --> 01:30:55,933
Yeah.
2510
01:30:56,966 --> 01:30:59,166
So I could see myself playing Fortnite
2511
01:30:59,166 --> 01:31:01,000
again with my son once
2512
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:01,833
he gets a little older
2513
01:31:03,433 --> 01:31:05,233
because it's better than Roblox, right?
2514
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:07,766
I would agree.
2515
01:31:08,366 --> 01:31:08,733
Probably.
2516
01:31:09,833 --> 01:31:10,699
Speaking of playing games.
2517
01:31:11,666 --> 01:31:14,766
Trump's now renewing its threat to impose
2518
01:31:14,766 --> 01:31:17,633
100% tariffs on non-US made movies.
2519
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:20,466
James, you want to give
2520
01:31:20,466 --> 01:31:21,600
us the highlights here?
2521
01:31:23,266 --> 01:31:24,566
I mean, I don't know if
2522
01:31:24,566 --> 01:31:25,866
there's much the highlight.
2523
01:31:25,866 --> 01:31:28,333
There's just it's fucking it's so stupid.
2524
01:31:29,199 --> 01:31:31,966
So it is this has happened twice.
2525
01:31:33,433 --> 01:31:34,633
Once when there was a
2526
01:31:34,633 --> 01:31:37,033
movie from China named Nezha 2.
2527
01:31:37,033 --> 01:31:38,766
It's based on Chinese
2528
01:31:38,766 --> 01:31:40,300
mythology, essentially.
2529
01:31:40,966 --> 01:31:42,233
Or I think it's actually based on during
2530
01:31:42,233 --> 01:31:42,866
the Western mentality.
2531
01:31:43,433 --> 01:31:44,399
I'm not read it.
2532
01:31:45,366 --> 01:31:47,466
But it made gang bust.
2533
01:31:47,466 --> 01:31:49,566
It made it made insane amounts of money
2534
01:31:49,566 --> 01:31:51,166
the first time a couple
2535
01:31:51,166 --> 01:31:52,133
of months ago when they
2536
01:31:52,133 --> 01:31:54,033
when Trump said that he
2537
01:31:54,033 --> 01:31:55,333
would do 100% tariffs on movies.
2538
01:31:56,133 --> 01:31:58,866
But then, coincidentally, when Demon
2539
01:31:58,866 --> 01:32:00,399
Slayer Infinity Castle 2
2540
01:32:00,399 --> 01:32:01,699
makes a shitload of money,
2541
01:32:01,699 --> 01:32:02,533
Trump says it again.
2542
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:05,566
Which tells me.
2543
01:32:06,733 --> 01:32:08,233
He's paying attention to how well
2544
01:32:08,233 --> 01:32:09,833
international movies do here.
2545
01:32:13,233 --> 01:32:15,366
I this rings completely hollow.
2546
01:32:15,866 --> 01:32:18,266
He said California with its weak governor
2547
01:32:18,266 --> 01:32:21,466
has been particularly hard hit.
2548
01:32:22,399 --> 01:32:22,699
Like.
2549
01:32:24,166 --> 01:32:26,066
Does he actually care about California?
2550
01:32:26,766 --> 01:32:30,133
Does he actually know that not all movies
2551
01:32:30,133 --> 01:32:31,066
that are super popular
2552
01:32:31,066 --> 01:32:33,133
are from are from Hollywood?
2553
01:32:33,766 --> 01:32:35,800
Like let's look at some like popular
2554
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:36,800
foreign like movies
2555
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:36,933
from like other countries.
2556
01:32:36,966 --> 01:32:39,733
Like, for example, The Dark
2557
01:32:39,733 --> 01:32:41,966
Knight is part British, too.
2558
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:43,633
If you can believe that.
2559
01:32:45,633 --> 01:32:46,766
Yeah, I mean, there's
2560
01:32:46,766 --> 01:32:47,666
movies made in Georgia.
2561
01:32:48,399 --> 01:32:49,666
A lot of movies are made in Georgia, and
2562
01:32:49,666 --> 01:32:50,933
I think they're moving that film.
2563
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,033
Some of that filming over to Europe,
2564
01:32:54,866 --> 01:32:55,800
Georgia, Georgia, the
2565
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:57,199
country or Georgia, the state,
2566
01:32:57,666 --> 01:32:59,233
the state, because we talked about this,
2567
01:32:59,233 --> 01:33:00,566
I think a week or two ago, right?
2568
01:33:01,733 --> 01:33:02,766
I know The Walking Dead
2569
01:33:02,766 --> 01:33:04,466
is filming Georgia TV show.
2570
01:33:05,266 --> 01:33:08,933
Yeah, and the Breaking Bad
2571
01:33:08,933 --> 01:33:11,266
was filmed in New Mexico.
2572
01:33:12,133 --> 01:33:12,333
Yeah.
2573
01:33:13,633 --> 01:33:17,333
And whatever new series Lance Vance
2574
01:33:17,333 --> 01:33:18,633
Gilligan or whatever.
2575
01:33:18,899 --> 01:33:19,166
I forget.
2576
01:33:19,166 --> 01:33:20,733
I think Vince Gilligan.
2577
01:33:21,100 --> 01:33:21,666
I forget his name.
2578
01:33:22,566 --> 01:33:23,800
Apparently, that looks like it's also
2579
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:26,133
filmed in the same area.
2580
01:33:28,366 --> 01:33:30,533
The whole point of globalization a little
2581
01:33:30,533 --> 01:33:32,300
bit or well, the for me,
2582
01:33:32,466 --> 01:33:34,933
I don't I like globalization when it
2583
01:33:34,933 --> 01:33:36,066
comes to equality of
2584
01:33:36,066 --> 01:33:37,133
like people being able to
2585
01:33:37,199 --> 01:33:39,033
if a country wants to make their own
2586
01:33:39,033 --> 01:33:41,000
movie, let them make it
2587
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:42,166
and don't put a tariff on it.
2588
01:33:42,466 --> 01:33:44,100
Let us just enjoy it.
2589
01:33:44,533 --> 01:33:45,866
And so it's weird.
2590
01:33:45,866 --> 01:33:47,133
It's like, hey, I don't like that these
2591
01:33:47,133 --> 01:33:48,366
movies are doing well.
2592
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:52,133
And so I'm going to slap a tariff on it.
2593
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:55,466
It's I mean, that's
2594
01:33:55,466 --> 01:33:56,300
isn't that capitalism?
2595
01:33:56,833 --> 01:33:58,233
I you have competition.
2596
01:33:59,333 --> 01:34:01,333
I do think it's crazy that demon slayer.
2597
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:02,966
The demon slayer movie
2598
01:34:02,966 --> 01:34:04,333
did as well as it did.
2599
01:34:05,566 --> 01:34:07,133
I'm not shocked, but yeah,
2600
01:34:07,133 --> 01:34:07,966
it's still at the same time.
2601
01:34:07,966 --> 01:34:09,366
That is weird that it was brought up.
2602
01:34:10,866 --> 01:34:12,600
Well, I mean, Trump
2603
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:13,566
didn't bring it up directly.
2604
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:15,566
It just happened like coincidentally as
2605
01:34:15,566 --> 01:34:16,433
news was breaking that it
2606
01:34:16,433 --> 01:34:17,500
made a shitload of money.
2607
01:34:18,633 --> 01:34:18,833
Right.
2608
01:34:19,633 --> 01:34:19,933
Okay.
2609
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,033
Yeah, the other thing is like here, the
2610
01:34:25,033 --> 01:34:26,033
Canadian Chamber of
2611
01:34:26,033 --> 01:34:27,266
Commerce said that it was deeply
2612
01:34:27,366 --> 01:34:29,399
concerned by the levy because American
2613
01:34:29,399 --> 01:34:30,633
production houses relied
2614
01:34:30,633 --> 01:34:31,933
on Canadian facilities,
2615
01:34:31,933 --> 01:34:32,933
crews and talent to
2616
01:34:32,933 --> 01:34:34,166
deliver Hollywood movies.
2617
01:34:34,433 --> 01:34:34,633
Right.
2618
01:34:35,433 --> 01:34:38,766
So it's dude, we use Canada so much for
2619
01:34:38,766 --> 01:34:41,100
filming, especially TV series.
2620
01:34:41,266 --> 01:34:44,000
And I think Superman was filmed in in
2621
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,333
Canada or some of it was anyway.
2622
01:34:46,733 --> 01:34:48,033
And I know that like Battlestar
2623
01:34:48,033 --> 01:34:50,566
Galactica, like the 2003 show,
2624
01:34:50,566 --> 01:34:52,433
was filmed almost exclusively
2625
01:34:52,733 --> 01:34:54,800
in Canada and they had many Canadian
2626
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:57,266
actors, but it was also
2627
01:34:57,266 --> 01:34:58,633
an American production.
2628
01:34:59,699 --> 01:35:02,166
Mythbusters was an Australian show.
2629
01:35:04,100 --> 01:35:04,266
Yeah.
2630
01:35:05,199 --> 01:35:08,466
But it was a fully Australian show, but
2631
01:35:08,466 --> 01:35:10,366
with American hosts
2632
01:35:10,366 --> 01:35:11,933
filmed in San Francisco.
2633
01:35:12,366 --> 01:35:15,399
So like, I think it's kind of arbitrary
2634
01:35:15,399 --> 01:35:17,399
to just declare, hey,
2635
01:35:18,466 --> 01:35:19,833
this is an American film,
2636
01:35:19,833 --> 01:35:22,699
this is not like it to your point, James.
2637
01:35:22,733 --> 01:35:27,933
You know, let's just continue making good
2638
01:35:27,933 --> 01:35:29,466
movies, not get freaking
2639
01:35:29,466 --> 01:35:30,233
caught up in the money.
2640
01:35:30,733 --> 01:35:32,633
And that's part of the problem too, is
2641
01:35:32,633 --> 01:35:34,666
like everyone's caught up in the money,
2642
01:35:35,133 --> 01:35:36,399
caught everyone in Hollywood.
2643
01:35:36,399 --> 01:35:37,100
It's like, well, if it's not going to
2644
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:38,699
make them, it's like with our freaking
2645
01:35:40,466 --> 01:35:42,399
games like EA and all that, like they're
2646
01:35:42,399 --> 01:35:43,366
going to put that bet.
2647
01:35:43,366 --> 01:35:44,966
They're going to bet, which they're all
2648
01:35:44,966 --> 01:35:46,199
losing their bets, by the way.
2649
01:35:46,199 --> 01:35:47,566
They're like, we're going to bet on these
2650
01:35:47,566 --> 01:35:48,566
billion dollar things
2651
01:35:48,566 --> 01:35:49,533
instead of just making
2652
01:35:49,533 --> 01:35:51,966
a lot of small good movies again.
2653
01:35:52,466 --> 01:35:55,000
And they overpay actors and actresses.
2654
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,433
And I'll be honest, there's almost no
2655
01:35:57,433 --> 01:35:59,366
actor actress now that I'm
2656
01:35:59,366 --> 01:36:00,833
like, yeah, I don't care.
2657
01:36:01,133 --> 01:36:03,399
If you're going to spend this much money
2658
01:36:03,399 --> 01:36:04,533
on them, then fuck them
2659
01:36:04,533 --> 01:36:05,733
because like they're not,
2660
01:36:05,733 --> 01:36:07,066
I don't know, I don't consider anyone
2661
01:36:07,066 --> 01:36:07,666
worth a hundred
2662
01:36:07,666 --> 01:36:08,899
million dollars for a movie.
2663
01:36:10,233 --> 01:36:12,266
Sorry, that's just asinine.
2664
01:36:12,633 --> 01:36:14,933
But what about the AI
2665
01:36:14,933 --> 01:36:16,266
actress Tilly Norwood?
2666
01:36:16,899 --> 01:36:17,833
She's worth a hundred million.
2667
01:36:18,466 --> 01:36:19,500
She's worth two hundred million.
2668
01:36:19,933 --> 01:36:22,133
She's worth she's probably worth more
2669
01:36:22,133 --> 01:36:23,633
than the GDP of some countries.
2670
01:36:25,199 --> 01:36:27,166
They put they heavily invested in her.
2671
01:36:27,166 --> 01:36:31,600
So OK, calling it an quote unquote
2672
01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:33,866
actress is ludicrous to me.
2673
01:36:34,333 --> 01:36:34,533
Yeah.
2674
01:36:35,566 --> 01:36:38,100
And naming it quote unquote Tilly Norward
2675
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:41,533
is is ridiculous to me.
2676
01:36:44,233 --> 01:36:46,133
What's the what is that even mean?
2677
01:36:46,133 --> 01:36:46,633
Tilly Norwood.
2678
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,566
It's it's obvious your name.
2679
01:36:50,333 --> 01:36:50,766
I know.
2680
01:36:50,766 --> 01:36:51,866
But like, is it supposed to mean
2681
01:36:51,866 --> 01:36:53,266
something or is it just the name that
2682
01:36:53,266 --> 01:36:54,266
they don't fucking know
2683
01:36:54,266 --> 01:36:55,199
what it means to be
2684
01:36:55,199 --> 01:36:56,266
like a Hollywood name?
2685
01:36:56,633 --> 01:36:58,033
It sounds it sounds
2686
01:36:58,033 --> 01:37:00,166
fancy like Timothy Chamelay.
2687
01:37:00,966 --> 01:37:02,699
My ex-girlfriend's
2688
01:37:02,699 --> 01:37:04,466
poodle was named Tilly.
2689
01:37:04,966 --> 01:37:06,733
So I don't I have a hard time taking the
2690
01:37:06,733 --> 01:37:07,733
name Tilly seriously.
2691
01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:11,100
Dude, but you should take this.
2692
01:37:11,100 --> 01:37:13,066
But, dude, we should get
2693
01:37:13,066 --> 01:37:14,300
Timothy Chamelay on this show.
2694
01:37:14,333 --> 01:37:16,733
We can introduce them as Modicontrol 360
2695
01:37:16,733 --> 01:37:20,533
or as I like to call them, Lisa Naga'im.
2696
01:37:21,366 --> 01:37:22,933
Yeah, dude, let's do it.
2697
01:37:22,933 --> 01:37:23,733
Let's get a while the show.
2698
01:37:24,333 --> 01:37:26,833
I'll reach out on Twitter or whatever.
2699
01:37:27,666 --> 01:37:28,633
The OK.
2700
01:37:29,199 --> 01:37:30,866
But back to the topic at hand.
2701
01:37:33,566 --> 01:37:34,766
Talent agencies are
2702
01:37:34,766 --> 01:37:37,666
scouting this A.I. actress.
2703
01:37:39,333 --> 01:37:40,933
What the fuck are we doing here?
2704
01:37:41,199 --> 01:37:45,166
I will not recognize A.I.
2705
01:37:45,466 --> 01:37:46,566
actresses and actors
2706
01:37:46,566 --> 01:37:49,433
until they are actually A.I.
2707
01:37:49,433 --> 01:37:52,433
Like like not this fake A.I.
2708
01:37:52,433 --> 01:37:53,733
Yeah. If they're sentient.
2709
01:37:54,066 --> 01:37:55,666
OK, I'm going to accept it.
2710
01:37:56,566 --> 01:37:59,366
Yeah, even if it's like Commander Data
2711
01:37:59,366 --> 01:38:01,166
decided to go into
2712
01:38:01,166 --> 01:38:04,000
theater, I would I would support.
2713
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:04,199
Yeah.
2714
01:38:04,633 --> 01:38:06,466
Or if like Bender came in
2715
01:38:06,466 --> 01:38:10,766
and it told me to tell me.
2716
01:38:10,966 --> 01:38:12,066
My shiny metal.
2717
01:38:12,233 --> 01:38:13,333
No, you have to buy his
2718
01:38:13,333 --> 01:38:15,066
shiny metal as oh, buy it.
2719
01:38:15,366 --> 01:38:15,866
Yeah.
2720
01:38:16,033 --> 01:38:16,899
But my shiny.
2721
01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:17,833
I can't do it.
2722
01:38:18,300 --> 01:38:19,566
I can't do it.
2723
01:38:19,866 --> 01:38:21,466
Oh, man, I wish I could do Bender.
2724
01:38:21,733 --> 01:38:22,766
Bender is such a great voice.
2725
01:38:24,233 --> 01:38:24,600
Rapping.
2726
01:38:25,366 --> 01:38:28,966
Now we're going to.
2727
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:30,866
You guys auditioning
2728
01:38:30,866 --> 01:38:32,133
for voice acting now.
2729
01:38:33,300 --> 01:38:34,833
Now that you know an A.I. can do it.
2730
01:38:35,300 --> 01:38:36,399
What auditioning, man.
2731
01:38:37,133 --> 01:38:40,133
Oh, strong man.
2732
01:38:40,533 --> 01:38:40,766
Yeah.
2733
01:38:41,666 --> 01:38:42,233
It's anyway.
2734
01:38:43,366 --> 01:38:46,199
So so how does this work?
2735
01:38:46,199 --> 01:38:48,566
It's just like a digital A.I. actress
2736
01:38:48,566 --> 01:38:50,433
gets injected into like movies.
2737
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,466
Well, all I know is that
2738
01:38:53,466 --> 01:38:55,233
A.I. talent studio Sequoia.
2739
01:38:55,466 --> 01:38:56,466
That's how you pronounce it, by the way.
2740
01:38:57,933 --> 01:39:01,633
I think Sequoia owns this
2741
01:39:01,633 --> 01:39:03,666
character, not even a character.
2742
01:39:03,866 --> 01:39:05,633
They own a quote unquote actress.
2743
01:39:06,233 --> 01:39:09,966
And I would imagine they're using A.I. to
2744
01:39:09,966 --> 01:39:10,933
like, I don't know if
2745
01:39:10,933 --> 01:39:11,500
they're going to like
2746
01:39:11,500 --> 01:39:12,733
put her against it.
2747
01:39:13,066 --> 01:39:14,366
Fuck.
2748
01:39:14,833 --> 01:39:16,699
Now I have no idea how this even works.
2749
01:39:17,566 --> 01:39:17,766
Okay.
2750
01:39:18,066 --> 01:39:19,966
So my understanding is that this is
2751
01:39:19,966 --> 01:39:21,133
basically Hatsune
2752
01:39:21,133 --> 01:39:23,300
Miku, but like for acting.
2753
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:24,533
Yeah, dude.
2754
01:39:24,533 --> 01:39:25,766
But this is yeah.
2755
01:39:26,033 --> 01:39:27,333
Here's the thing that Hatsune Miku was
2756
01:39:27,333 --> 01:39:29,833
like ancient technology at this point.
2757
01:39:29,833 --> 01:39:30,899
It's like 20 years old.
2758
01:39:31,366 --> 01:39:31,800
Yeah, I know.
2759
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:32,466
But this is it's basically the same thing.
2760
01:39:33,433 --> 01:39:36,133
But like it's an A.I. puppet rather than
2761
01:39:36,133 --> 01:39:40,100
a, you know, whatever Hatsune Miku uses.
2762
01:39:41,833 --> 01:39:44,566
So I could see them using the epic engine
2763
01:39:44,566 --> 01:39:46,866
because there's a lot of new TV shows and
2764
01:39:46,866 --> 01:39:49,600
movies that use it now and use a lot of
2765
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:50,666
green screening and they
2766
01:39:50,666 --> 01:39:52,233
could probably pretty easily
2767
01:39:52,233 --> 01:39:53,166
inject her in.
2768
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:54,000
Yeah.
2769
01:39:54,100 --> 01:39:54,300
Yeah.
2770
01:39:54,466 --> 01:39:55,733
But we use her likeness
2771
01:39:55,733 --> 01:39:57,000
since she's not a real person.
2772
01:39:57,933 --> 01:39:59,566
No, she's a copyrighted thing.
2773
01:39:59,933 --> 01:40:00,233
Yeah.
2774
01:40:00,233 --> 01:40:02,166
Oh, but like, can we like make slight
2775
01:40:02,166 --> 01:40:04,699
adjustments to it and then say we can
2776
01:40:04,699 --> 01:40:06,433
call her Nilly Torward.
2777
01:40:08,433 --> 01:40:09,033
Yeah, you could.
2778
01:40:09,533 --> 01:40:11,766
Should I look at one of the A.I. services
2779
01:40:11,766 --> 01:40:13,466
and I can probably make something.
2780
01:40:14,166 --> 01:40:16,033
We'll have her on as a guest.
2781
01:40:16,533 --> 01:40:17,366
Oh, God.
2782
01:40:20,366 --> 01:40:22,566
We are not generating our guests.
2783
01:40:23,266 --> 01:40:25,266
Dude, that would be so awesome.
2784
01:40:25,266 --> 01:40:26,133
I'm not going to lie.
2785
01:40:26,133 --> 01:40:26,733
I'd do it.
2786
01:40:26,733 --> 01:40:28,633
I couldn't do it very often.
2787
01:40:29,366 --> 01:40:31,533
But and all we would do
2788
01:40:31,533 --> 01:40:33,266
is like insult the A.I.
2789
01:40:33,466 --> 01:40:33,666
guest.
2790
01:40:33,899 --> 01:40:35,366
I know we'd probably I probably get death
2791
01:40:35,366 --> 01:40:36,733
threats online from her.
2792
01:40:36,733 --> 01:40:37,699
So I don't know.
2793
01:40:38,899 --> 01:40:45,033
But I mean, former quote unquote, A.I.
2794
01:40:45,033 --> 01:40:45,833
quote unquote artist,
2795
01:40:46,300 --> 01:40:48,199
whom says that all of the big studios are
2796
01:40:48,199 --> 01:40:49,366
working on the assistant projects.
2797
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:50,533
But of course, she can't
2798
01:40:50,533 --> 01:40:52,566
specify which ones are generated.
2799
01:40:53,233 --> 01:40:55,500
The question is, can you even tell at
2800
01:40:55,500 --> 01:40:57,266
this point if Hollywood's behind it?
2801
01:40:59,033 --> 01:40:59,433
Yes.
2802
01:41:00,966 --> 01:41:03,833
Stop paying these actors hundreds of
2803
01:41:03,833 --> 01:41:04,366
millions of dollars.
2804
01:41:04,366 --> 01:41:05,533
Just find someone that's
2805
01:41:05,533 --> 01:41:07,433
decently priced as a decent actor.
2806
01:41:07,433 --> 01:41:08,933
There's plenty of them and just pay them.
2807
01:41:09,233 --> 01:41:11,366
And there's plenty of older movies, too.
2808
01:41:11,366 --> 01:41:13,166
I mean, honestly, if all new movies suck,
2809
01:41:13,166 --> 01:41:14,366
why even bother, right?
2810
01:41:15,366 --> 01:41:16,633
That's the thing with movies, too.
2811
01:41:16,633 --> 01:41:18,133
People are more willing to accept
2812
01:41:18,133 --> 01:41:19,399
watching older movies,
2813
01:41:19,766 --> 01:41:20,800
but they're not willing to
2814
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:22,966
accept playing a fucking NES game.
2815
01:41:24,166 --> 01:41:25,500
That's like ludicrous to me.
2816
01:41:26,500 --> 01:41:28,933
I guess that's proof that game that
2817
01:41:28,933 --> 01:41:31,300
gamers can't see games as art.
2818
01:41:32,066 --> 01:41:32,300
Right.
2819
01:41:33,233 --> 01:41:34,433
But no, there's tons of people.
2820
01:41:34,966 --> 01:41:37,133
Art is not the older like not everyone's
2821
01:41:37,133 --> 01:41:38,333
going to see art the same way.
2822
01:41:38,733 --> 01:41:39,566
Not everyone's going to go
2823
01:41:39,566 --> 01:41:40,866
back and watch old movies.
2824
01:41:41,333 --> 01:41:43,933
I do somewhat, but like I go back to the
2825
01:41:43,933 --> 01:41:44,733
90s and some of those
2826
01:41:44,733 --> 01:41:45,866
movies are pretty bad, though.
2827
01:41:46,433 --> 01:41:46,633
Yeah.
2828
01:41:48,166 --> 01:41:51,199
I mean, it's I can't say it's like a one
2829
01:41:51,199 --> 01:41:52,266
size fits all thing.
2830
01:41:52,566 --> 01:41:53,800
Like, yeah, when I was
2831
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,800
growing up, my grandparents
2832
01:41:55,066 --> 01:41:59,033
had a museum of antique music machines,
2833
01:41:59,766 --> 01:42:01,533
which was really, really, really awesome.
2834
01:42:01,833 --> 01:42:03,500
So like, do you know
2835
01:42:03,500 --> 01:42:04,766
what a Nickelodeon is?
2836
01:42:04,766 --> 01:42:05,800
Not the TV channel.
2837
01:42:06,733 --> 01:42:08,366
I did not know that was
2838
01:42:08,366 --> 01:42:09,533
a thing that wasn't yet.
2839
01:42:10,199 --> 01:42:12,066
So Nickelodeon, the TV channel gets its
2840
01:42:12,066 --> 01:42:13,866
name from antique
2841
01:42:13,866 --> 01:42:15,866
jukeboxes before they had records.
2842
01:42:16,533 --> 01:42:19,399
And so these jukeboxes basically had
2843
01:42:19,399 --> 01:42:23,033
computers in them that
2844
01:42:23,033 --> 01:42:24,666
were powered by vacuum tubes.
2845
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,600
And they had like little punch cards on
2846
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,633
rolls that would like go
2847
01:42:28,633 --> 01:42:29,699
over these little holes
2848
01:42:29,833 --> 01:42:33,333
that were then there were like
2849
01:42:33,333 --> 01:42:35,566
instruments inside the Nickelodeon.
2850
01:42:36,133 --> 01:42:38,233
And the based on the the punch card
2851
01:42:38,233 --> 01:42:40,300
program, it would play the instruments.
2852
01:42:40,866 --> 01:42:41,766
OK, so like almost like
2853
01:42:41,766 --> 01:42:44,866
almost like a MIDI, almost like.
2854
01:42:45,133 --> 01:42:45,333
Yeah.
2855
01:42:45,566 --> 01:42:47,533
But the name piano role in
2856
01:42:47,533 --> 01:42:50,000
like a DAW comes from that.
2857
01:42:50,300 --> 01:42:51,966
Like those are called piano rolls.
2858
01:42:52,033 --> 01:42:52,766
Have you ever seen like
2859
01:42:52,766 --> 01:42:54,033
a player piano before?
2860
01:42:54,266 --> 01:42:54,899
It's like that.
2861
01:42:55,966 --> 01:42:58,533
And so anyway, I had a
2862
01:42:58,533 --> 01:42:59,433
reason for bringing this up.
2863
01:42:59,766 --> 01:43:03,233
Oh, but like so for me, like the
2864
01:43:03,233 --> 01:43:04,366
experience of going back
2865
01:43:04,366 --> 01:43:06,033
and playing like any games
2866
01:43:06,166 --> 01:43:08,500
or even Atari games is kind of the same
2867
01:43:08,500 --> 01:43:10,966
experience as me going back and listening
2868
01:43:10,966 --> 01:43:14,066
to like Nickelodeon music versus like
2869
01:43:14,066 --> 01:43:16,300
listening to like a recording, you know,
2870
01:43:16,300 --> 01:43:18,766
or like a studio produced song.
2871
01:43:19,199 --> 01:43:23,133
So I don't have a problem with going back
2872
01:43:23,133 --> 01:43:25,066
and playing these old games, but like
2873
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:27,699
the the issue is going to be when this,
2874
01:43:28,566 --> 01:43:29,633
you know, when Tilly
2875
01:43:29,633 --> 01:43:32,766
Norwood becomes like, you
2876
01:43:32,766 --> 01:43:36,133
know, movies starring Tilly Norwood is
2877
01:43:36,133 --> 01:43:37,300
going to they're going to go.
2878
01:43:37,733 --> 01:43:39,233
They're going to become like unwatchable
2879
01:43:39,233 --> 01:43:41,733
because it's just going to
2880
01:43:41,733 --> 01:43:43,399
be like painfully obvious
2881
01:43:43,399 --> 01:43:46,833
how she's not like a real person.
2882
01:43:47,066 --> 01:43:47,699
It's going to fall into
2883
01:43:47,699 --> 01:43:47,966
uncanny valley, I think.
2884
01:43:48,733 --> 01:43:49,033
Yeah.
2885
01:43:49,933 --> 01:43:51,233
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
2886
01:43:51,466 --> 01:43:52,266
I'll be honest.
2887
01:43:52,266 --> 01:43:53,866
I will watch a movie with this because
2888
01:43:53,866 --> 01:43:55,433
I'm just I'm a future
2889
01:43:55,433 --> 01:43:56,333
facing kind of person,
2890
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:59,133
but I don't if they start putting this
2891
01:43:59,133 --> 01:44:00,333
person like in every move
2892
01:44:00,333 --> 01:44:03,100
this AI into every movie
2893
01:44:03,199 --> 01:44:05,000
or overdo it, then it's just going to
2894
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:06,000
turn me off completely.
2895
01:44:06,566 --> 01:44:07,633
The novelty I'm
2896
01:44:07,633 --> 01:44:09,500
interested in beyond that, though.
2897
01:44:10,966 --> 01:44:11,666
So I'm going to save
2898
01:44:11,666 --> 01:44:12,633
him as head ass tape.
2899
01:44:12,666 --> 01:44:15,633
If you're going to seriously call
2900
01:44:15,633 --> 01:44:18,366
yourself a gamer, like unironically,
2901
01:44:19,466 --> 01:44:21,833
then you should be OK with going back and
2902
01:44:21,833 --> 01:44:22,866
playing older games.
2903
01:44:23,866 --> 01:44:25,300
There are many ways to play older games,
2904
01:44:25,300 --> 01:44:26,833
too, in case you can't
2905
01:44:26,833 --> 01:44:28,333
actually get access like old
2906
01:44:28,333 --> 01:44:28,800
hardware.
2907
01:44:30,066 --> 01:44:31,333
I would say learn how to watch it.
2908
01:44:31,766 --> 01:44:32,266
That's my head ass
2909
01:44:32,266 --> 01:44:34,633
tape, but it's gatekeeping.
2910
01:44:34,933 --> 01:44:36,133
But yeah, yeah, OK, well,
2911
01:44:36,133 --> 01:44:37,500
then that's what you were.
2912
01:44:37,500 --> 01:44:38,800
But it's OK to have your own
2913
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:39,899
definition of what a gamer is.
2914
01:44:40,533 --> 01:44:43,166
Yeah, like I get I get it with like
2915
01:44:43,166 --> 01:44:44,600
someone's and starting
2916
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:45,500
gaming for the first time,
2917
01:44:45,500 --> 01:44:47,633
and they start with like an Xbox series
2918
01:44:47,633 --> 01:44:50,566
X, even though it's $800 nowadays.
2919
01:44:51,633 --> 01:44:53,766
But like, I mean, by the time someone
2920
01:44:53,766 --> 01:44:55,066
listens to this, like in six
2921
01:44:55,066 --> 01:44:56,266
months, if they listen past,
2922
01:44:56,266 --> 01:44:56,866
they're like, wait,
2923
01:44:56,866 --> 01:44:57,466
what are you talking about?
2924
01:44:57,466 --> 01:44:58,199
It's like a thousand.
2925
01:45:00,166 --> 01:45:02,233
God, that would be horrible.
2926
01:45:03,033 --> 01:45:03,899
For four years, you
2927
01:45:03,899 --> 01:45:04,866
know, they're like game pass.
2928
01:45:04,866 --> 01:45:05,500
What are you talking like?
2929
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:06,433
Thirty dollars.
2930
01:45:06,433 --> 01:45:07,100
That was a good deal.
2931
01:45:07,666 --> 01:45:09,266
It's like two hundred dollars now.
2932
01:45:09,366 --> 01:45:11,433
But not as horrible as what's about to
2933
01:45:11,433 --> 01:45:12,899
happen to video editing.
2934
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:15,966
Sora, Sora, too.
2935
01:45:16,933 --> 01:45:21,366
So also, Gardner, I attached a bunch of
2936
01:45:21,366 --> 01:45:23,833
examples to the topic at hand.
2937
01:45:23,833 --> 01:45:24,566
I don't know if you can.
2938
01:45:24,933 --> 01:45:25,133
Yeah.
2939
01:45:25,333 --> 01:45:26,433
So if you know, I see.
2940
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:29,500
So there's a lot of videos.
2941
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:31,133
This is this doesn't even
2942
01:45:31,133 --> 01:45:32,266
cover the tip of the iceberg.
2943
01:45:32,466 --> 01:45:33,833
So let's look at this one for example.
2944
01:45:36,266 --> 01:45:37,433
You can't hear the audio, right?
2945
01:45:37,433 --> 01:45:39,466
I don't know if it records it.
2946
01:45:43,199 --> 01:45:43,733
Yeah.
2947
01:45:43,733 --> 01:45:46,066
Imagine a store where the graphics cards
2948
01:45:46,066 --> 01:45:49,066
would be in front of a fucking glass door
2949
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,166
and not secured tightly.
2950
01:45:51,933 --> 01:45:52,566
Is this real?
2951
01:45:53,566 --> 01:45:53,766
No.
2952
01:45:55,033 --> 01:45:55,733
It's generated.
2953
01:45:56,166 --> 01:45:56,466
Yeah.
2954
01:45:57,333 --> 01:45:59,399
I'm watching on a very small screen.
2955
01:46:00,466 --> 01:46:02,433
It's Sam Altman stealing a
2956
01:46:02,433 --> 01:46:05,133
GPU from Target from Target.
2957
01:46:05,833 --> 01:46:06,833
It's a generated.
2958
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:08,966
I can't believe you do that.
2959
01:46:10,633 --> 01:46:11,466
Someone's got to feed
2960
01:46:11,466 --> 01:46:13,199
someone's got to feed the A.I.
2961
01:46:13,433 --> 01:46:14,533
Some cards and Jensen
2962
01:46:14,533 --> 01:46:16,033
Huang's ripping us off, obviously.
2963
01:46:17,233 --> 01:46:18,433
Next up are a couple of
2964
01:46:18,433 --> 01:46:19,966
different examples of anime.
2965
01:46:21,066 --> 01:46:21,966
And they all look like
2966
01:46:21,966 --> 01:46:23,133
dog shit, to be honest.
2967
01:46:25,199 --> 01:46:27,333
It might look like garbage now, but guys,
2968
01:46:27,333 --> 01:46:29,033
it's iterating pretty fast.
2969
01:46:29,033 --> 01:46:32,466
This is already much more impressive than
2970
01:46:32,466 --> 01:46:34,566
like what we years ago.
2971
01:46:34,966 --> 01:46:35,166
Yeah.
2972
01:46:37,433 --> 01:46:39,766
I wouldn't watch it, but.
2973
01:46:41,733 --> 01:46:42,633
It looks a lot of it
2974
01:46:42,633 --> 01:46:44,033
looks very off model still.
2975
01:46:45,066 --> 01:46:45,866
Like, yeah, some
2976
01:46:45,866 --> 01:46:47,600
frames don't look half bad.
2977
01:46:48,399 --> 01:46:50,933
But a lot of it is pretty off model.
2978
01:46:51,166 --> 01:46:51,366
Yes.
2979
01:46:52,066 --> 01:46:54,966
We don't talk about the whole finger
2980
01:46:54,966 --> 01:46:57,366
issue anymore with a lot of A.I.
2981
01:46:57,366 --> 01:47:00,399
generated videos where that was a or even
2982
01:47:00,399 --> 01:47:02,233
images where fingers were
2983
01:47:02,233 --> 01:47:03,300
not being generated properly.
2984
01:47:03,433 --> 01:47:03,866
Right.
2985
01:47:03,866 --> 01:47:05,133
That's not as much of a deal now.
2986
01:47:06,466 --> 01:47:07,233
An issue that is.
2987
01:47:09,833 --> 01:47:10,100
Yeah.
2988
01:47:10,533 --> 01:47:14,333
So I'm not super big on to this.
2989
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:16,500
It's so incoherent.
2990
01:47:16,500 --> 01:47:18,233
It still feels like slop, man.
2991
01:47:18,233 --> 01:47:19,100
It is a lot.
2992
01:47:20,466 --> 01:47:22,666
Yeah, it's it's quite slop.
2993
01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:23,333
We have.
2994
01:47:23,333 --> 01:47:24,633
But we have to keep going, man.
2995
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:26,100
This is there's a few.
2996
01:47:29,933 --> 01:47:33,066
This is like waterboarding for creatives.
2997
01:47:38,500 --> 01:47:39,366
I could just imagine if
2998
01:47:39,366 --> 01:47:40,800
you make like fan art.
2999
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,066
That this is just like a finger.
3000
01:47:45,033 --> 01:47:45,733
You see the fingers.
3001
01:47:46,333 --> 01:47:47,066
That's still better.
3002
01:47:48,733 --> 01:47:50,633
It's better than what it used to be.
3003
01:47:51,233 --> 01:47:51,433
Yeah.
3004
01:47:53,199 --> 01:47:54,866
Visual visual novel.
3005
01:47:56,933 --> 01:47:57,800
Well, this bullshit.
3006
01:47:58,600 --> 01:47:59,333
Yuck, dude.
3007
01:48:00,133 --> 01:48:03,066
What do you don't need the visual novel
3008
01:48:03,066 --> 01:48:04,733
are fucking mostly still images.
3009
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:06,766
I know, but like.
3010
01:48:07,666 --> 01:48:09,500
That like how there's like
3011
01:48:09,500 --> 01:48:11,833
it's a subtle 3D anime effect.
3012
01:48:12,066 --> 01:48:13,366
Like it just I don't know.
3013
01:48:13,833 --> 01:48:14,633
Oh, this is awesome.
3014
01:48:14,633 --> 01:48:14,933
I'm going to be
3015
01:48:14,933 --> 01:48:15,966
watching this all day to now.
3016
01:48:16,166 --> 01:48:16,366
Thanks.
3017
01:48:18,066 --> 01:48:18,800
The hand holding looks
3018
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:19,833
better than that one, though.
3019
01:48:21,100 --> 01:48:23,433
Yeah, it does the like four frames of it.
3020
01:48:25,333 --> 01:48:27,800
So very recently, though, very recently,
3021
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,533
though, they disabled Nintendo characters
3022
01:48:29,533 --> 01:48:30,333
from being generated.
3023
01:48:30,666 --> 01:48:31,866
This is before they disabled it.
3024
01:48:32,333 --> 01:48:34,899
And as you can imagine, so apparently in
3025
01:48:34,899 --> 01:48:37,333
order for your IPs not be usable,
3026
01:48:38,233 --> 01:48:40,766
you as an IP holder have to contact them,
3027
01:48:41,033 --> 01:48:42,033
which I'm pretty sure that's not.
3028
01:48:42,366 --> 01:48:43,000
I don't think that's how
3029
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:43,899
that's supposed to work.
3030
01:48:44,733 --> 01:48:47,733
No, but Nintendo did anyways.
3031
01:48:49,233 --> 01:48:50,566
So obviously, you'll never
3032
01:48:50,566 --> 01:48:51,766
see anything like this again.
3033
01:48:52,866 --> 01:48:54,233
In Seoul, you'll see it again.
3034
01:48:54,533 --> 01:48:56,966
Just not from like your it's going to be.
3035
01:48:59,066 --> 01:49:00,833
I'm I'm I'm here for this
3036
01:49:00,833 --> 01:49:01,833
type of stupid stuff, though.
3037
01:49:02,333 --> 01:49:04,566
This one's the better of them, but it
3038
01:49:04,566 --> 01:49:05,366
also feels like a slap
3039
01:49:05,366 --> 01:49:06,100
in the face of Nintendo.
3040
01:49:06,433 --> 01:49:08,100
So oh, I think it was
3041
01:49:08,100 --> 01:49:09,266
intentional that way.
3042
01:49:09,699 --> 01:49:11,666
I could not watch this close up, though.
3043
01:49:11,666 --> 01:49:13,166
This is the Twitch chat.
3044
01:49:13,833 --> 01:49:16,266
Yeah, I generated two looks like it.
3045
01:49:16,866 --> 01:49:17,066
What?
3046
01:49:20,433 --> 01:49:21,566
Oh, my God.
3047
01:49:21,566 --> 01:49:22,533
You guys hear it?
3048
01:49:22,733 --> 01:49:24,966
No, I can't hear it, but I've also heard
3049
01:49:24,966 --> 01:49:25,733
all of these before.
3050
01:49:26,633 --> 01:49:28,466
Yeah, it sounds like I think it's like a
3051
01:49:28,466 --> 01:49:30,233
police like body cam
3052
01:49:30,233 --> 01:49:31,766
like footage and like news.
3053
01:49:32,066 --> 01:49:35,566
You can see it's kind of fucked up like
3054
01:49:35,566 --> 01:49:37,266
me about to watch Mario get deported.
3055
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:39,466
Yeah, he might.
3056
01:49:39,466 --> 01:49:40,233
He might be deported.
3057
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:42,000
The real question is, are they going to
3058
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:43,399
deport up to Italy or Japan?
3059
01:49:45,199 --> 01:49:46,533
That's actually a question.
3060
01:49:49,399 --> 01:49:50,433
The next is.
3061
01:49:52,066 --> 01:49:52,800
Yeah, you do that.
3062
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:53,766
All right.
3063
01:49:54,633 --> 01:49:55,866
Rick and Morty can Morty.
3064
01:49:55,866 --> 01:49:56,733
God damn it.
3065
01:49:57,033 --> 01:49:57,333
Oh, no.
3066
01:49:58,233 --> 01:50:01,133
The show's already
3067
01:50:01,133 --> 01:50:02,533
gotten cringe over the years.
3068
01:50:03,899 --> 01:50:05,533
That's fan base is already cringe.
3069
01:50:06,333 --> 01:50:08,733
Yeah, I think it's already been cringe as
3070
01:50:08,733 --> 01:50:09,733
soon as the Szechuan
3071
01:50:09,733 --> 01:50:12,100
sauce fiasco happened.
3072
01:50:14,399 --> 01:50:15,866
I got some of the Szechuan sauce.
3073
01:50:15,866 --> 01:50:16,500
It was not that good.
3074
01:50:17,066 --> 01:50:19,666
So Rick just said Morty.
3075
01:50:20,266 --> 01:50:20,866
Oh, wait, he says.
3076
01:50:22,266 --> 01:50:22,933
Morty interdimensional.
3077
01:50:23,199 --> 01:50:23,833
Interdimensional.
3078
01:50:23,933 --> 01:50:25,533
TikTok just dropped with sort of
3079
01:50:25,533 --> 01:50:27,166
releasing version 2.0.
3080
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:30,733
But like, that's kind
3081
01:50:30,733 --> 01:50:31,833
of what this is, right?
3082
01:50:31,833 --> 01:50:32,733
Like if you've ever watched
3083
01:50:32,733 --> 01:50:34,566
interdimensional cable,
3084
01:50:34,566 --> 01:50:37,433
it basically just a I slop.
3085
01:50:37,433 --> 01:50:39,533
Yeah, that's that was
3086
01:50:39,533 --> 01:50:40,633
actually pretty good.
3087
01:50:40,633 --> 01:50:41,466
Rick and Morty impression.
3088
01:50:41,666 --> 01:50:42,266
I don't think I know
3089
01:50:42,266 --> 01:50:43,733
that was pretty good.
3090
01:50:44,633 --> 01:50:46,233
But yeah, I'm curious.
3091
01:50:46,566 --> 01:50:47,433
Like do these.
3092
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:51,066
Can you like feed Sora a prompt like that
3093
01:50:51,066 --> 01:50:52,866
where it's like open AI
3094
01:50:52,866 --> 01:50:54,166
just dropped interdimensional
3095
01:50:54,233 --> 01:50:56,333
TikTok and it will come up with and I'm
3096
01:50:56,333 --> 01:50:57,566
like, just do it for you.
3097
01:50:57,566 --> 01:50:59,633
I think it's going to be a long ass one
3098
01:50:59,633 --> 01:51:00,466
where you have to like
3099
01:51:00,466 --> 01:51:02,300
write paragraphs and paragraphs.
3100
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:04,733
Maybe I think you'd be shocked at how
3101
01:51:04,733 --> 01:51:07,766
well open AI is in filling in the gaps.
3102
01:51:07,933 --> 01:51:10,266
So they probably utilize a different AI
3103
01:51:10,266 --> 01:51:11,800
model to generate like
3104
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:13,133
the script and then they use
3105
01:51:14,399 --> 01:51:16,466
one for generating the video and
3106
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:18,733
and here's and here's an
3107
01:51:18,733 --> 01:51:21,300
ad for Epstein Epstein.
3108
01:51:21,366 --> 01:51:23,433
I always the toy line.
3109
01:51:23,433 --> 01:51:28,300
You find their secret massage room.
3110
01:51:31,899 --> 01:51:32,766
Oh my God.
3111
01:51:35,166 --> 01:51:36,366
Jesus Christ.
3112
01:51:41,566 --> 01:51:43,433
Look, it even it even like
3113
01:51:43,433 --> 01:51:44,800
recreates like the fuzziness
3114
01:51:45,666 --> 01:51:48,333
like older like toy ads to.
3115
01:51:48,333 --> 01:51:48,633
Yeah.
3116
01:51:48,933 --> 01:51:49,333
I'm crazy.
3117
01:51:49,933 --> 01:51:53,600
You know that I think about though.
3118
01:51:54,533 --> 01:51:56,333
So you guys can't hear it.
3119
01:51:56,333 --> 01:51:58,566
But like James, like I'm listening to
3120
01:51:58,566 --> 01:52:00,166
this and it's it sounds
3121
01:52:00,166 --> 01:52:02,399
like a Nickelodeon ad like
3122
01:52:02,399 --> 01:52:07,066
and it's like impressively like, hey,
3123
01:52:07,066 --> 01:52:08,733
kids, get your Epstein Island toys.
3124
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:10,233
It's like crazy.
3125
01:52:11,833 --> 01:52:12,033
Wow.
3126
01:52:12,733 --> 01:52:13,966
That's this is going to start.
3127
01:52:14,566 --> 01:52:16,133
This is the type of stuff we need to be
3128
01:52:16,133 --> 01:52:17,000
making fun of anyways,
3129
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:18,366
because it's ridiculous that.
3130
01:52:18,866 --> 01:52:19,300
Hey.
3131
01:52:20,233 --> 01:52:21,866
Oh, that's going to get us
3132
01:52:21,866 --> 01:52:23,133
at a labor camp or something.
3133
01:52:23,500 --> 01:52:24,666
The orange man.
3134
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:28,166
Oh, wow.
3135
01:52:28,433 --> 01:52:29,133
Wait, wait, look at this.
3136
01:52:31,100 --> 01:52:31,433
Yeah, I don't know.
3137
01:52:31,433 --> 01:52:31,966
They made him buff.
3138
01:52:32,199 --> 01:52:33,166
He's going to like it probably.
3139
01:52:34,666 --> 01:52:36,166
Well, no, he's on Epstein Island.
3140
01:52:37,166 --> 01:52:38,866
Yeah, well, if they just released the
3141
01:52:38,866 --> 01:52:40,366
files, we already know that.
3142
01:52:40,433 --> 01:52:43,766
On those like crazy, the crazy movement.
3143
01:52:45,466 --> 01:52:52,066
I miss the days of Will Smith eating
3144
01:52:52,066 --> 01:52:53,566
spaghetti looking totally crazy.
3145
01:52:53,866 --> 01:52:54,500
Oh, no.
3146
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:56,866
I hated the uncanniness.
3147
01:52:57,233 --> 01:52:58,899
It was so unnerving.
3148
01:52:58,899 --> 01:52:59,333
It was like.
3149
01:53:00,166 --> 01:53:02,166
Oh, yeah.
3150
01:53:02,466 --> 01:53:02,666
Yeah.
3151
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:04,533
Imagine if they made a horror movie based
3152
01:53:04,533 --> 01:53:07,666
on like how bad AI used to look.
3153
01:53:08,300 --> 01:53:09,266
Is this cyberpunk?
3154
01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:11,933
Yeah, so it's fully recreated.
3155
01:53:11,933 --> 01:53:15,766
It's recreated gameplay from AI.
3156
01:53:16,433 --> 01:53:17,533
You can see the HUD like
3157
01:53:17,533 --> 01:53:18,733
changes multiple times.
3158
01:53:19,333 --> 01:53:21,433
Yeah, I don't know if that background is
3159
01:53:21,433 --> 01:53:23,466
generated by AI, though.
3160
01:53:25,266 --> 01:53:25,966
What do you mean?
3161
01:53:27,366 --> 01:53:30,066
Meaning the gameplay itself, except for a
3162
01:53:30,066 --> 01:53:31,133
few things, seems like it
3163
01:53:31,133 --> 01:53:32,533
was probably heavily copied.
3164
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:35,633
I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, but you can
3165
01:53:35,633 --> 01:53:38,633
like recreate fake gameplay with AI,
3166
01:53:38,666 --> 01:53:42,800
which has saved me.
3167
01:53:44,166 --> 01:53:52,433
Yeah, the water just continues to fill up
3168
01:53:52,433 --> 01:53:54,133
slightly by itself after he stops.
3169
01:53:55,466 --> 01:53:55,666
Yeah.
3170
01:53:57,566 --> 01:53:59,399
The bottom air gets cut off like
3171
01:53:59,399 --> 01:54:01,366
entirely, which I'm pretty sure that's
3172
01:54:01,366 --> 01:54:02,333
not supposed to happen.
3173
01:54:03,300 --> 01:54:04,033
No, dude.
3174
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:05,866
Yeah.
3175
01:54:06,166 --> 01:54:08,766
I mean, just imagine how many trees in
3176
01:54:08,766 --> 01:54:10,033
the rainforest have to get
3177
01:54:10,466 --> 01:54:13,399
killed to create produce this AI slot.
3178
01:54:13,399 --> 01:54:14,800
We still have trees in the rainforest.
3179
01:54:16,933 --> 01:54:18,366
Not anymore, we don't.
3180
01:54:18,366 --> 01:54:20,233
Definitely not enough.
3181
01:54:20,666 --> 01:54:23,233
Not enough to not enough to fulfill Sam
3182
01:54:23,233 --> 01:54:25,166
Altman's dream of being
3183
01:54:25,166 --> 01:54:27,133
immune to criminal activity
3184
01:54:27,133 --> 01:54:29,233
because he can say, oh, but it's AI.
3185
01:54:29,500 --> 01:54:30,166
It's all AI.
3186
01:54:32,500 --> 01:54:33,933
Imagine if he actually walked into a
3187
01:54:33,933 --> 01:54:35,333
store and pickpocketed something.
3188
01:54:35,533 --> 01:54:37,233
People could just say, oh, it's AI.
3189
01:54:40,300 --> 01:54:41,133
That's why we,
3190
01:54:41,133 --> 01:54:42,366
there's going to need more.
3191
01:54:42,366 --> 01:54:43,966
Oh my gosh, we do not have an
3192
01:54:43,966 --> 01:54:45,166
administration that's going to,
3193
01:54:45,166 --> 01:54:48,133
we need a whole arm on like detecting AI
3194
01:54:48,133 --> 01:54:49,533
fakes and certifying stuff.
3195
01:54:50,333 --> 01:54:50,533
Okay.
3196
01:54:51,033 --> 01:54:52,833
Listen to your audience.
3197
01:54:54,100 --> 01:54:55,933
This is probably one portion of the video
3198
01:54:55,933 --> 01:54:59,433
that you should watch on YouTube because
3199
01:55:00,633 --> 01:55:02,233
while we just watch a bunch of videos and
3200
01:55:02,233 --> 01:55:06,766
it's kind of hard to really grasp of what
3201
01:55:06,766 --> 01:55:09,766
we're seeing unless you watch it as well.
3202
01:55:10,466 --> 01:55:10,666
Yeah.
3203
01:55:10,966 --> 01:55:14,533
I mean, what we just watched was pretty
3204
01:55:14,533 --> 01:55:15,899
convincing if you
3205
01:55:15,899 --> 01:55:17,633
weren't paying close attention.
3206
01:55:18,433 --> 01:55:20,633
For an ad, I will say for that ad,
3207
01:55:20,933 --> 01:55:21,833
Epstein won, even though it was a parody,
3208
01:55:23,266 --> 01:55:25,633
I will say anyone that is an actor or
3209
01:55:25,633 --> 01:55:27,199
voice actor is going to
3210
01:55:27,199 --> 01:55:29,033
be royally screwed in the
3211
01:55:29,033 --> 01:55:29,399
near future.
3212
01:55:29,666 --> 01:55:32,633
I think for ads, it's just going to make
3213
01:55:32,633 --> 01:55:34,333
sense for these companies just to do this
3214
01:55:34,333 --> 01:55:36,266
because they'll be much cheaper and no
3215
01:55:36,266 --> 01:55:37,033
one really pays
3216
01:55:37,033 --> 01:55:38,633
attention to most ads nowadays.
3217
01:55:39,166 --> 01:55:40,833
Well, here's the crazy part though.
3218
01:55:42,266 --> 01:55:42,966
People go on strike
3219
01:55:42,966 --> 01:55:44,966
and actors have success.
3220
01:55:44,966 --> 01:55:45,633
I think they should go
3221
01:55:45,633 --> 01:55:46,800
back on strike to be honest.
3222
01:55:47,666 --> 01:55:47,866
Yeah.
3223
01:55:48,833 --> 01:55:49,933
They probably will.
3224
01:55:49,933 --> 01:55:51,033
If I were an actor, I'd
3225
01:55:51,033 --> 01:55:52,133
probably go on strike too.
3226
01:55:53,066 --> 01:55:53,266
Yeah.
3227
01:55:53,766 --> 01:55:55,533
It's just why we need unions all around.
3228
01:55:56,333 --> 01:55:56,533
Yeah.
3229
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:00,066
We're not going to have jobs soon, so
3230
01:56:00,066 --> 01:56:01,766
there won't be anyone to unionize.
3231
01:56:02,066 --> 01:56:04,033
It's crazy how close we
3232
01:56:04,033 --> 01:56:05,533
are to having zero jobs.
3233
01:56:05,766 --> 01:56:07,033
These are not going to create jobs.
3234
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:08,433
It's like we...
3235
01:56:09,033 --> 01:56:09,833
Oh, that reminds me.
3236
01:56:09,833 --> 01:56:10,366
If you go back to...
3237
01:56:10,533 --> 01:56:10,966
Oh, sorry.
3238
01:56:10,966 --> 01:56:11,233
Go ahead.
3239
01:56:12,233 --> 01:56:12,833
No, it's okay.
3240
01:56:12,833 --> 01:56:14,166
No, I'm just more.
3241
01:56:14,166 --> 01:56:14,966
It's more with the AI.
3242
01:56:15,333 --> 01:56:18,433
I use AI, but I use it to help free up a
3243
01:56:18,433 --> 01:56:19,233
little bit of my time.
3244
01:56:20,833 --> 01:56:21,699
Does it make it right?
3245
01:56:22,066 --> 01:56:23,133
I don't know, but I
3246
01:56:23,133 --> 01:56:24,666
try not to overuse it.
3247
01:56:25,566 --> 01:56:25,733
Yeah.
3248
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:27,166
If you go to a...
3249
01:56:27,533 --> 01:56:29,133
Yeah, if you go back to the Sora 2 anime
3250
01:56:29,133 --> 01:56:30,566
part, the part after the
3251
01:56:30,566 --> 01:56:31,833
stupid death note fight...
3252
01:56:34,733 --> 01:56:38,899
There's a gibley ripoff
3253
01:56:38,899 --> 01:56:39,833
right after that part.
3254
01:56:40,266 --> 01:56:40,933
So skip to like...
3255
01:56:42,333 --> 01:56:43,100
Let me see where it was.
3256
01:56:43,433 --> 01:56:44,466
Go to like 50.
3257
01:56:48,866 --> 01:56:49,066
Yeah.
3258
01:56:50,033 --> 01:56:50,566
Oh my God.
3259
01:56:50,866 --> 01:56:51,066
Yeah.
3260
01:56:51,733 --> 01:56:55,966
Full ripoff.
3261
01:56:56,500 --> 01:56:56,666
Status.
3262
01:56:57,633 --> 01:56:58,366
Notice how they don't
3263
01:56:58,366 --> 01:56:59,733
show them holding hands.
3264
01:57:00,333 --> 01:57:00,533
Yeah.
3265
01:57:02,233 --> 01:57:03,233
It's Saudi Arabia owned.
3266
01:57:03,933 --> 01:57:07,566
Yeah, I was going to say.
3267
01:57:07,566 --> 01:57:10,600
Okay, that hand
3268
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:11,833
holding didn't look half bad.
3269
01:57:12,666 --> 01:57:14,699
I know how we're critiquing how anime
3270
01:57:14,699 --> 01:57:16,166
characters are all cat,
3271
01:57:17,166 --> 01:57:18,933
but that's not a terrible way to critique
3272
01:57:18,933 --> 01:57:21,300
how far AI has gone.
3273
01:57:22,266 --> 01:57:23,466
This is the only way we're going to get
3274
01:57:23,466 --> 01:57:24,533
more Hunter, Hunter.
3275
01:57:25,366 --> 01:57:26,800
Is to have an AI generated.
3276
01:57:27,100 --> 01:57:27,766
Matt, okay.
3277
01:57:27,766 --> 01:57:29,533
That's also another crazy thing too,
3278
01:57:29,533 --> 01:57:31,733
because Togashi, he's the
3279
01:57:31,733 --> 01:57:33,266
main author behind Hunter.
3280
01:57:34,433 --> 01:57:34,633
Yeah.
3281
01:57:35,033 --> 01:57:38,566
He's like, he is like suffering hard
3282
01:57:38,566 --> 01:57:40,566
because of his craft.
3283
01:57:40,866 --> 01:57:42,399
Like if AI replays that, it's crazy.
3284
01:57:42,833 --> 01:57:43,566
The guy can't even
3285
01:57:43,566 --> 01:57:44,633
wipe his own ass anymore.
3286
01:57:44,633 --> 01:57:45,600
That's how bad it's gotten.
3287
01:57:49,066 --> 01:57:50,433
Like his back pain is insane.
3288
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,333
It's kind of crazy to think about artists
3289
01:57:53,333 --> 01:57:54,300
getting physical pain
3290
01:57:54,333 --> 01:57:56,266
when you have people in construction that
3291
01:57:56,266 --> 01:57:57,333
risk their lives every day.
3292
01:57:57,500 --> 01:57:58,666
But it's happened.
3293
01:57:58,866 --> 01:57:59,633
It does happen.
3294
01:57:59,866 --> 01:58:01,433
Like there's a lot of
3295
01:58:01,433 --> 01:58:02,633
cases where this happens.
3296
01:58:02,633 --> 01:58:03,433
And if AI just...
3297
01:58:06,433 --> 01:58:07,333
I don't know what to tell you.
3298
01:58:07,333 --> 01:58:07,866
I don't know.
3299
01:58:07,866 --> 01:58:08,666
He lives in a place that
3300
01:58:08,666 --> 01:58:09,833
has universal healthcare.
3301
01:58:10,066 --> 01:58:11,133
So at least that does help.
3302
01:58:14,233 --> 01:58:14,533
Yeah.
3303
01:58:15,266 --> 01:58:15,666
I don't know.
3304
01:58:15,933 --> 01:58:16,333
It's just...
3305
01:58:16,333 --> 01:58:16,666
Sorry.
3306
01:58:16,733 --> 01:58:18,066
I'm getting really political on this
3307
01:58:18,066 --> 01:58:18,766
whole thing because a lot
3308
01:58:18,766 --> 01:58:19,899
of this stuff is very like,
3309
01:58:19,933 --> 01:58:24,266
I'm sorry, but the future is
3310
01:58:24,266 --> 01:58:27,666
very bleak in a lot of ways.
3311
01:58:30,633 --> 01:58:30,833
Yeah.
3312
01:58:30,866 --> 01:58:32,533
You've heard of the grim dark universe.
3313
01:58:33,233 --> 01:58:35,033
We live in the grim shit universe.
3314
01:58:38,133 --> 01:58:39,233
Is it worse?
3315
01:58:40,433 --> 01:58:40,933
I don't know.
3316
01:58:40,966 --> 01:58:45,500
It definitely...
3317
01:58:47,066 --> 01:58:49,233
I just remembered when AI used to...
3318
01:58:49,266 --> 01:58:51,266
The whole idea behind AI used to be that
3319
01:58:51,266 --> 01:58:53,166
they were like sentient life forms.
3320
01:58:53,166 --> 01:58:53,500
They were basically
3321
01:58:53,500 --> 01:58:55,199
like people, but like...
3322
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:55,933
Robots.
3323
01:58:57,133 --> 01:58:57,399
And like...
3324
01:58:57,399 --> 01:58:58,566
That's technically why AI is supposed to
3325
01:58:58,566 --> 01:58:59,566
be artificial intelligence.
3326
01:59:00,533 --> 01:59:00,733
Yeah.
3327
01:59:00,866 --> 01:59:02,066
Well, I guess people are
3328
01:59:02,066 --> 01:59:03,366
just naturally stupid, right?
3329
01:59:06,566 --> 01:59:07,233
I guess.
3330
01:59:08,666 --> 01:59:09,266
I mean, fucking...
3331
01:59:09,833 --> 01:59:12,666
We affixed the term AI to list what
3332
01:59:12,666 --> 01:59:14,800
really it should be machine learning.
3333
01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:17,133
A lot of it is machine learning.
3334
01:59:17,666 --> 01:59:18,633
There's a couple aspects.
3335
01:59:18,633 --> 01:59:18,966
There's a lot...
3336
01:59:19,233 --> 01:59:21,800
AI is a very complex issue and there's...
3337
01:59:22,266 --> 01:59:23,866
In order to actually have artificial
3338
01:59:23,866 --> 01:59:26,566
intelligence, there's a lot of different
3339
01:59:26,866 --> 01:59:28,966
modular pieces that go into making like
3340
01:59:28,966 --> 01:59:31,433
us, who we are intelligent.
3341
01:59:32,100 --> 01:59:32,966
And so, yeah.
3342
01:59:36,133 --> 01:59:36,366
Yeah.
3343
01:59:36,433 --> 01:59:38,433
They haven't changed the term because
3344
01:59:38,433 --> 01:59:40,766
people had to
3345
01:59:40,766 --> 01:59:44,766
essentially monetize AI as a term.
3346
01:59:45,033 --> 01:59:45,933
And that's where we're at now.
3347
01:59:48,433 --> 01:59:50,133
I just can't wait till this era of AI
3348
01:59:50,133 --> 01:59:51,666
ends where they have to fix the term
3349
01:59:51,666 --> 01:59:53,300
AI to every single product.
3350
01:59:54,266 --> 01:59:54,466
Fucking...
3351
01:59:55,100 --> 01:59:59,333
Rise in AI plus Max.
3352
02:00:00,399 --> 02:00:01,633
395 plus.
3353
02:00:03,533 --> 02:00:04,966
Who knows if it will...
3354
02:00:06,533 --> 02:00:08,533
Did you get it right?
3355
02:00:09,199 --> 02:00:09,866
Yeah, did I get it right?
3356
02:00:10,666 --> 02:00:11,533
I don't know.
3357
02:00:12,233 --> 02:00:13,866
It's too long to remember anymore.
3358
02:00:13,866 --> 02:00:16,133
Like that's the models and naming
3359
02:00:16,133 --> 02:00:18,833
conventions should be easy
3360
02:00:18,833 --> 02:00:22,833
for the buyer or anyone using it
3361
02:00:23,033 --> 02:00:23,866
to remember.
3362
02:00:24,600 --> 02:00:25,066
This is...
3363
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:27,066
We have gone off the
3364
02:00:27,066 --> 02:00:28,966
deep end on naming stuff.
3365
02:00:29,366 --> 02:00:33,033
Like if us PC gamers and PC builders and
3366
02:00:33,033 --> 02:00:36,366
tech guys sometimes get this shit wrong,
3367
02:00:37,033 --> 02:00:38,699
then what about the regular consumer?
3368
02:00:39,199 --> 02:00:40,266
How the hell do they
3369
02:00:40,266 --> 02:00:40,966
don't stand a chance?
3370
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:42,833
That's the problem.
3371
02:00:43,133 --> 02:00:44,466
So they'll just go buy a pre-made...
3372
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:45,466
At the end of the day,
3373
02:00:45,466 --> 02:00:46,133
it doesn't even matter.
3374
02:00:46,133 --> 02:00:47,366
I don't know why they named this stuff.
3375
02:00:47,933 --> 02:00:48,699
It doesn't matter
3376
02:00:48,699 --> 02:00:49,466
because the normal person,
3377
02:00:49,733 --> 02:00:51,233
like the average person's gonna go and
3378
02:00:51,233 --> 02:00:53,233
buy a pre-made and not really understand
3379
02:00:53,233 --> 02:00:53,733
what they're getting.
3380
02:00:54,633 --> 02:00:55,466
Like sometimes that's
3381
02:00:55,466 --> 02:00:56,300
kind of the point though.
3382
02:00:56,300 --> 02:00:57,833
Yeah, like sometimes Apple gets it wrong
3383
02:00:57,833 --> 02:00:59,533
with like the pros and the
3384
02:00:59,533 --> 02:01:02,133
pluses and the pro maxes.
3385
02:01:02,733 --> 02:01:04,033
But sometimes they get it right.
3386
02:01:04,266 --> 02:01:04,466
They sometimes...
3387
02:01:04,766 --> 02:01:05,433
Like the M1.
3388
02:01:05,433 --> 02:01:06,033
It's still simple.
3389
02:01:06,633 --> 02:01:08,933
It's still drastically more simple.
3390
02:01:09,233 --> 02:01:12,566
And their GPUs and their CPUs are based
3391
02:01:12,566 --> 02:01:14,233
off of core accounts typically.
3392
02:01:14,233 --> 02:01:16,633
They're like, it's the M4 and then you
3393
02:01:16,633 --> 02:01:17,933
can have up to 40 cores,
3394
02:01:17,933 --> 02:01:20,033
let's say in the MacBook Pro.
3395
02:01:20,666 --> 02:01:24,066
I think that's much easier to understand
3396
02:01:24,066 --> 02:01:25,466
than what AMD is doing.
3397
02:01:28,866 --> 02:01:30,300
And I'm sure it's not the investors
3398
02:01:30,300 --> 02:01:31,666
saying to these guys,
3399
02:01:31,666 --> 02:01:34,899
"Oh, you need to make these names have
3400
02:01:34,899 --> 02:01:36,233
the word AI and like
3401
02:01:36,233 --> 02:01:37,333
the fucking throw off
3402
02:01:37,333 --> 02:01:39,366
the naming product schemes of products."
3403
02:01:39,766 --> 02:01:40,600
Definitely investors
3404
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:41,766
like AI being injected.
3405
02:01:42,066 --> 02:01:42,366
It will...
3406
02:01:43,100 --> 02:01:44,733
Putting AI into anything will make your
3407
02:01:44,733 --> 02:01:46,266
stock go up a little bit.
3408
02:01:47,600 --> 02:01:48,566
That's like proven.
3409
02:01:52,166 --> 02:01:52,766
Here's the thing.
3410
02:01:52,866 --> 02:01:53,933
I'm probably part of the
3411
02:01:53,933 --> 02:01:55,766
problem because I don't mind AI.
3412
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:56,533
I like AI.
3413
02:01:58,233 --> 02:01:59,933
But I don't like it.
3414
02:01:59,933 --> 02:02:00,500
I like a demo...
3415
02:02:00,733 --> 02:02:03,399
I want it to be democratized more and not
3416
02:02:03,399 --> 02:02:05,033
have it be in the hands of
3417
02:02:05,033 --> 02:02:06,433
just like a select few people
3418
02:02:06,433 --> 02:02:09,133
because this is going to end poorly.
3419
02:02:10,366 --> 02:02:10,566
Yes.
3420
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:11,233
Yeah.
3421
02:02:11,733 --> 02:02:15,699
AI is cool in a few ways.
3422
02:02:15,699 --> 02:02:19,766
The new version of Audacity is going to
3423
02:02:19,766 --> 02:02:24,199
have open model weights from Intel in it.
3424
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:25,933
And you'll be able to
3425
02:02:25,933 --> 02:02:28,866
generate music, generate audio,
3426
02:02:29,833 --> 02:02:32,033
and do noise reduction with
3427
02:02:32,033 --> 02:02:33,633
it, which is freaking awesome.
3428
02:02:33,866 --> 02:02:35,566
And it's all run locally on your machine.
3429
02:02:36,266 --> 02:02:38,533
The same goes with DaVinci Resolve.
3430
02:02:38,833 --> 02:02:41,033
All of the models are run
3431
02:02:41,033 --> 02:02:42,333
locally on your machine.
3432
02:02:42,733 --> 02:02:43,600
If you could run...
3433
02:02:45,366 --> 02:02:50,266
I have a machine, a GPU in my server that
3434
02:02:50,266 --> 02:02:52,466
is doing image
3435
02:02:52,466 --> 02:02:54,300
categorization in my next cloud.
3436
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:55,233
That's all great.
3437
02:02:55,533 --> 02:02:58,033
But as soon as it's being gate kept by
3438
02:02:58,033 --> 02:02:59,166
these huge corporations
3439
02:02:59,166 --> 02:03:01,266
that cannot be trusted,
3440
02:03:02,966 --> 02:03:03,566
that's when it
3441
02:03:03,566 --> 02:03:05,366
becomes dangerous, I think.
3442
02:03:06,433 --> 02:03:07,500
I agree with you, James.
3443
02:03:07,500 --> 02:03:09,133
I think democratization is key.
3444
02:03:10,666 --> 02:03:11,133
Well, thankfully
3445
02:03:11,133 --> 02:03:12,766
DeepSeek is open source, right?
3446
02:03:14,433 --> 02:03:15,533
Not really.
3447
02:03:16,466 --> 02:03:16,666
No.
3448
02:03:17,399 --> 02:03:19,866
I mean, it has some open weights, but
3449
02:03:19,866 --> 02:03:21,833
they're kind of truncated compared to...
3450
02:03:22,166 --> 02:03:22,933
What's the term?
3451
02:03:22,933 --> 02:03:23,500
Not truncated.
3452
02:03:25,533 --> 02:03:29,600
The open weights are a reduced precision.
3453
02:03:29,966 --> 02:03:31,800
I don't remember what the term is.
3454
02:03:32,399 --> 02:03:32,600
Interesting.
3455
02:03:32,933 --> 02:03:34,166
Oh, I thought that was
3456
02:03:34,166 --> 02:03:35,433
the whole selling point.
3457
02:03:35,433 --> 02:03:38,766
It was a lighter model that was also kind
3458
02:03:38,766 --> 02:03:39,733
of open source almost.
3459
02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,733
Well, it's hard to make an AI
3460
02:03:42,733 --> 02:03:45,399
open source because not only...
3461
02:03:45,933 --> 02:03:47,966
You have to make all of the training data
3462
02:03:47,966 --> 02:03:51,300
not available, but
3463
02:03:51,300 --> 02:03:54,066
ethical in order for it to be
3464
02:03:54,433 --> 02:03:55,033
open source.
3465
02:03:55,266 --> 02:03:57,300
And so I don't think DeepSeek was trained
3466
02:03:57,300 --> 02:03:58,333
ethically, and I don't
3467
02:03:58,333 --> 02:04:00,600
think that their full
3468
02:04:01,033 --> 02:04:02,633
weights have been published.
3469
02:04:04,633 --> 02:04:05,166
That makes sense.
3470
02:04:05,966 --> 02:04:06,166
Yeah.
3471
02:04:06,300 --> 02:04:06,733
Oh, well.
3472
02:04:07,566 --> 02:04:10,066
AI is still one category.
3473
02:04:10,066 --> 02:04:14,233
I'm still not fully into.
3474
02:04:14,633 --> 02:04:16,500
Like, I just don't fully...
3475
02:04:17,033 --> 02:04:17,800
I guess I just don't
3476
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:19,300
fully get it just yet.
3477
02:04:19,500 --> 02:04:20,866
I think eventually I will
3478
02:04:20,866 --> 02:04:23,033
be, but only time will tell.
3479
02:04:23,766 --> 02:04:26,899
Truthfully, if AI can be used to help
3480
02:04:26,899 --> 02:04:29,433
save creatives time,
3481
02:04:30,266 --> 02:04:31,600
that's when it's useful and
3482
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:32,033
that's when it's
3483
02:04:32,033 --> 02:04:33,866
interesting, and that's when it's good.
3484
02:04:34,366 --> 02:04:37,366
But everything else about AI is garbage.
3485
02:04:37,866 --> 02:04:39,433
If it's just posting...
3486
02:04:40,733 --> 02:04:41,833
If it's just flooding
3487
02:04:41,833 --> 02:04:42,833
the internet with shit.
3488
02:04:43,866 --> 02:04:47,033
If it's being used to manipulate people.
3489
02:04:47,933 --> 02:04:48,433
If it's...
3490
02:04:48,699 --> 02:04:48,899
Yeah.
3491
02:04:49,366 --> 02:04:50,966
There's just so much wrong
3492
02:04:50,966 --> 02:04:53,933
with the way AI is being used.
3493
02:04:55,699 --> 02:04:56,199
It's...
3494
02:04:56,566 --> 02:04:58,333
Here's the problem too.
3495
02:04:58,533 --> 02:05:01,066
For me, I use it and it saves me a lot of
3496
02:05:01,066 --> 02:05:02,699
time that I can spend with my kids.
3497
02:05:02,699 --> 02:05:03,166
I spend a little bit
3498
02:05:03,166 --> 02:05:04,100
more time with my kids now.
3499
02:05:04,766 --> 02:05:07,600
That for me is invaluable because then I
3500
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:08,133
can get some of the
3501
02:05:08,133 --> 02:05:09,133
stuff I need to done on a
3502
02:05:09,133 --> 02:05:10,966
creative level, and then I
3503
02:05:10,966 --> 02:05:12,000
can spend more time with them.
3504
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:12,399
But it's not...
3505
02:05:12,699 --> 02:05:14,066
It also does bother me that
3506
02:05:14,066 --> 02:05:15,899
it's still not very ethical.
3507
02:05:16,333 --> 02:05:17,500
Have you guys seen...
3508
02:05:18,633 --> 02:05:20,566
Did I show you my Kezeta video?
3509
02:05:22,366 --> 02:05:23,133
Can you hear this?
3510
02:05:24,033 --> 02:05:24,933
Guys, I just finished...
3511
02:05:24,933 --> 02:05:26,433
I think you told us about this.
3512
02:05:26,433 --> 02:05:28,233
Yeah, you told us about this a while ago.
3513
02:05:29,066 --> 02:05:29,366
I did.
3514
02:05:29,699 --> 02:05:30,733
So basically, I'll tell
3515
02:05:30,733 --> 02:05:31,533
the story again real quick.
3516
02:05:31,766 --> 02:05:33,600
I was holding my phone like this, right?
3517
02:05:34,233 --> 02:05:36,300
And to do that intro part.
3518
02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:38,800
And I was covering the microphone.
3519
02:05:39,166 --> 02:05:39,666
Oh no.
3520
02:05:40,166 --> 02:05:42,066
So it was like this really muffled thing.
3521
02:05:42,066 --> 02:05:43,466
You could still hear what I was saying,
3522
02:05:43,466 --> 02:05:44,366
but it sounded like shit.
3523
02:05:44,566 --> 02:05:46,166
I didn't have time to rerecord it.
3524
02:05:46,766 --> 02:05:50,466
I had already trained DaVinci's AI model
3525
02:05:50,466 --> 02:05:52,033
on one of my old videos.
3526
02:05:52,566 --> 02:05:55,500
So I had a model of my own voice that I
3527
02:05:55,500 --> 02:05:56,500
had trained previously.
3528
02:05:57,066 --> 02:06:00,166
I just right clicked on the audio clip
3529
02:06:00,166 --> 02:06:03,833
for this handheld portion right here.
3530
02:06:04,766 --> 02:06:08,433
I generated my own voice over top of it.
3531
02:06:09,033 --> 02:06:10,733
And if you listen to this...
3532
02:06:10,733 --> 02:06:11,233
There's a number of reasons.
3533
02:06:11,766 --> 02:06:13,733
But the first is because it's
3534
02:06:13,733 --> 02:06:14,733
basically indistinguishable.
3535
02:06:15,266 --> 02:06:16,833
Nobody knew in the comments,
3536
02:06:17,233 --> 02:06:18,266
even though I said it here,
3537
02:06:19,933 --> 02:06:21,600
that's the cool shit
3538
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:22,833
that you can do with AI.
3539
02:06:23,033 --> 02:06:24,300
And I really love that.
3540
02:06:26,166 --> 02:06:26,866
It does sound interesting.
3541
02:06:27,233 --> 02:06:28,833
Yeah, I blew my mind when I first started
3542
02:06:28,833 --> 02:06:30,466
because you had us preview it before.
3543
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:31,300
And I was like...
3544
02:06:31,300 --> 02:06:31,699
That's right.
3545
02:06:31,699 --> 02:06:32,366
Oh yeah, I sent it to
3546
02:06:32,366 --> 02:06:33,199
you guys in Discord.
3547
02:06:33,199 --> 02:06:33,500
That's right.
3548
02:06:33,733 --> 02:06:34,199
Yeah, like an earlier
3549
02:06:34,199 --> 02:06:35,266
version of that video.
3550
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:36,000
Yeah.
3551
02:06:37,266 --> 02:06:39,100
I've had to regenerate some audio too.
3552
02:06:39,133 --> 02:06:42,000
But I didn't do it with DaVinci Resolve.
3553
02:06:42,333 --> 02:06:44,933
But now that I have a copy that I can, I
3554
02:06:44,933 --> 02:06:46,766
will try to do that more.
3555
02:06:46,766 --> 02:06:48,000
But I've done it with
3556
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,366
Descript and it was very convenient
3557
02:06:50,399 --> 02:06:51,033
because I didn't have
3558
02:06:51,033 --> 02:06:51,833
to rerecord something.
3559
02:06:52,266 --> 02:06:55,266
Yeah, but people are using AI for their
3560
02:06:55,266 --> 02:06:56,600
own nefarious purposes.
3561
02:06:56,600 --> 02:07:00,399
For example, there was someone that was
3562
02:07:00,399 --> 02:07:02,500
using AI to generate
3563
02:07:02,500 --> 02:07:03,933
cosplay photos of themselves
3564
02:07:04,566 --> 02:07:06,366
and selling those photosets because
3565
02:07:06,366 --> 02:07:08,233
that's what cosplayers do online.
3566
02:07:08,233 --> 02:07:10,699
And one of my cosplayer
3567
02:07:10,699 --> 02:07:12,933
friends, she got really mad.
3568
02:07:13,333 --> 02:07:15,000
She got really pissed off because she
3569
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:17,199
does actual cosplay
3570
02:07:17,199 --> 02:07:18,600
yourself and it's kind of crazy.
3571
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:21,233
Damn.
3572
02:07:21,966 --> 02:07:22,166
Yeah.
3573
02:07:22,366 --> 02:07:24,366
So I guess at the end
3574
02:07:24,366 --> 02:07:26,433
of the day, AI is a tool.
3575
02:07:27,133 --> 02:07:29,066
It's just a matter of who is using it.
3576
02:07:29,066 --> 02:07:30,566
And obviously the people trying to use it
3577
02:07:30,566 --> 02:07:31,933
to scam other people.
3578
02:07:32,233 --> 02:07:35,500
Like AI artists online trying to pretend
3579
02:07:35,500 --> 02:07:37,100
like they're making actual art.
3580
02:07:37,533 --> 02:07:38,366
Obviously, it's just a
3581
02:07:38,366 --> 02:07:39,666
matter of greed, to be honest.
3582
02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:40,800
Yeah.
3583
02:07:41,666 --> 02:07:41,866
Yeah.
3584
02:07:42,866 --> 02:07:43,833
That's definitely one
3585
02:07:43,833 --> 02:07:44,733
thing that we need to fix.
3586
02:07:45,033 --> 02:07:46,633
And there's a lot of different ways to do
3587
02:07:46,633 --> 02:07:47,399
that, but I don't know
3588
02:07:47,399 --> 02:07:47,933
if it's going to happen.
3589
02:07:49,300 --> 02:07:49,500
Yeah.
3590
02:07:49,933 --> 02:07:51,433
I'd love to know what everyone in the
3591
02:07:51,433 --> 02:07:52,633
audience thinks about AI.
3592
02:07:52,866 --> 02:07:54,333
Because I've seen lots of
3593
02:07:54,333 --> 02:07:55,600
different varying opinions.
3594
02:07:56,433 --> 02:07:58,199
And I'm curious, you
3595
02:07:58,199 --> 02:07:59,633
guys, leave us a comment.
3596
02:08:00,100 --> 02:08:00,933
You can interact with
3597
02:08:00,933 --> 02:08:02,166
the show on the Fetaverse.
3598
02:08:03,966 --> 02:08:05,100
You can follow us on the Fetaverse.
3599
02:08:05,133 --> 02:08:07,533
You can also leave a comment on YouTube.
3600
02:08:09,333 --> 02:08:10,133
Guys, I think that's
3601
02:08:10,133 --> 02:08:12,166
probably the show right there.
3602
02:08:12,166 --> 02:08:12,533
What do you think?
3603
02:08:13,333 --> 02:08:14,266
Let's wrap it up.
3604
02:08:14,266 --> 02:08:15,333
Let's wrap it up.
3605
02:08:15,933 --> 02:08:16,133
Awesome.
3606
02:08:16,566 --> 02:08:16,733
Cool.
3607
02:08:16,733 --> 02:08:18,000
Well, thank you, everybody, for watching.
3608
02:08:18,566 --> 02:08:19,866
And I'm glad to be back
3609
02:08:19,866 --> 02:08:21,566
joining my friends here.
3610
02:08:22,266 --> 02:08:23,233
And we'll see you
3611
02:08:23,233 --> 02:08:24,833
guys in the next episode.
3612
02:08:26,166 --> 02:08:26,933
Later, guys.
3613
02:08:27,266 --> 02:08:27,466
Later.
3614
02:08:27,766 --> 02:08:28,066
See you.
