00:00:10,217 --> 00:00:17,023
Welcome to Off the Console, the hottest podcast where we talk about gaming, tech news, and
much, much more.

2
00:00:17,023 --> 00:00:25,970
~ we recently just had our hundredth episode, and ~ for those that don't know, our Patreon
episode for that week was released for free.

3
00:00:26,231 --> 00:00:27,692

4
00:00:27,692 --> 00:00:31,005
So if you want to watch that bonus episode, feel free to do so.

5
00:00:31,005 --> 00:00:38,721
But ~ anyways, ~ I'm High Tech Little Life, I'll be your host for today, and we have
special guest, no one today.

6
00:00:38,811 --> 00:00:41,597
But we do have our regular co hosts, James and Gardner.

7
00:00:41,597 --> 00:00:42,859
How are you guys doing?

8
00:00:43,153 --> 00:00:44,497
Good, how are you?

9
00:00:44,497 --> 00:00:45,538
I'm doing all right.

10
00:00:45,538 --> 00:00:46,708
sound so sad.

11
00:00:46,708 --> 00:00:49,261
Like you're like

12
00:00:49,261 --> 00:00:53,604
we have our common regular

13
00:00:53,604 --> 00:00:55,415
co hosts here and

14
00:00:55,821 --> 00:00:57,007
I didn't mean I guess.

15
00:00:57,007 --> 00:00:58,351
that makes us feel?

16
00:00:58,475 --> 00:00:59,638
Exactly.

17
00:01:01,406 --> 00:01:02,546
Wow.

18
00:01:03,147 --> 00:01:04,428
I'm so sorry.

19
00:01:04,428 --> 00:01:05,028
Forgive

20
00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:06,059
me.

21
00:01:06,059 --> 00:01:09,918
Alright, but alright, so real talk though.

22
00:01:09,918 --> 00:01:13,133
We gotta talk about ~ all the cool stuff that's been happening.

23
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:15,154
the Steam frame has

24
00:01:15,154 --> 00:01:18,936
an update, namely the ~ reservation timing.

25
00:01:18,936 --> 00:01:21,145
And not a lot of people are very happy about that.

26
00:01:21,145 --> 00:01:22,185
Yeah.

27
00:01:22,818 --> 00:01:27,741
And ~ we have information about porting PS5 games.

28
00:01:28,013 --> 00:01:30,036
And also PS five news.

29
00:01:30,171 --> 00:01:30,828
Mm.

30
00:01:30,828 --> 00:01:32,931
my god, it's gonna be another depressing week, isn't it?

31
00:01:33,137 --> 00:01:34,402
~ me?

32
00:01:34,402 --> 00:01:35,667
I don't know.

33
00:01:35,667 --> 00:01:37,552
There's some cool stuff going on.

34
00:01:37,552 --> 00:01:41,820
money normalizes, which it might take a few years, things will be a little depressing.

35
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:43,803
We'll try to put a little icing on top though of the

36
00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:46,146
depression to make it look not too bad.

37
00:01:46,248 --> 00:01:46,861
I guess.

38
00:01:46,861 --> 00:01:47,352
we shall

39
00:01:47,352 --> 00:01:48,273
see.

40
00:01:48,816 --> 00:01:51,251
anyways, ~ how have you guys been doing this week?

41
00:01:51,251 --> 00:01:53,156
~ let's start with you, Gardener.

42
00:01:53,156 --> 00:01:56,342
I heard you got on the news for something very important.

43
00:01:56,342 --> 00:01:56,863
I

44
00:01:56,863 --> 00:01:57,993
did actually.

45
00:01:57,993 --> 00:02:01,790
I was on ~ the local CBS affiliate.

46
00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:04,468
They they found out about my game.

47
00:02:04,468 --> 00:02:08,199
I sent out a press release to a bunch of news outlets and they were the first to respond.

48
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,983
They like, yo, let's interview you about this, so

49
00:02:11,385 --> 00:02:12,927
Yes, this is ~

50
00:02:13,929 --> 00:02:15,333
You said this is CBS?

51
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:16,218
Yeah.

52
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:16,914
Yeah.

53
00:02:16,914 --> 00:02:18,486
Yeah, look, this Gardner Brian right there.

54
00:02:18,486 --> 00:02:21,841
He's on the news, he's dusting off his YouTube metals.

55
00:02:21,863 --> 00:02:24,385
I okay that that Swiffer

56
00:02:24,385 --> 00:02:29,609
shot I was like so deeply embarrassed that they used that shot.

57
00:02:29,729 --> 00:02:31,531
I didn't know she was recording.

58
00:02:31,531 --> 00:02:44,191
So she came so she came and set up in in the office here and and I was like still kind of
like puttering around trying to get ~ things like done and she had like the camera rolling

59
00:02:44,191 --> 00:02:49,385
and I was like ~ it's very dusty and and then she was

60
00:02:49,513 --> 00:02:50,307
news anchor?

61
00:02:50,307 --> 00:02:51,217
Yeah.

62
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:53,460
Yep, Michaela Hawthorne.

63
00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:55,051
And she she she was great.

64
00:02:55,051 --> 00:02:57,163
She was super enthusiastic about the game.

65
00:02:57,163 --> 00:03:02,507
And ~ I showed her how the puzzle editor works, which I don't think I've shown that
publicly yet.

66
00:03:02,507 --> 00:03:05,589
~ but yeah, the puzzle editor is pretty cool.

67
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:12,315
And ~ I made a special puzzle specifically for ~ for them.

68
00:03:12,315 --> 00:03:15,216
So ~ down at the bottom there there's a link.

69
00:03:15,704 --> 00:03:16,093
Ooh.

70
00:03:16,093 --> 00:03:16,794
i y

71
00:03:16,794 --> 00:03:22,940
~ I y this is a very like local ~ puzzle, so if you don't know, you

72
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:23,901
don't know.

73
00:03:25,718 --> 00:03:27,144
~ no.

74
00:03:27,437 --> 00:03:29,400
~ I got one letter.

75
00:03:30,904 --> 00:03:31,545
Yeah.

76
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:38,336
It's I mean it's very i it it's local history, so if you don't know it then I wouldn't be
surprised, but

77
00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:44,531
you already did B.

78
00:03:45,394 --> 00:03:46,194
L.

79
00:03:47,069 --> 00:03:48,005
There you go.

80
00:03:48,005 --> 00:03:49,582
Thank you, thank you.

81
00:03:52,763 --> 00:03:53,563
Yeah.

82
00:03:56,113 --> 00:04:00,420
Television station first.

83
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:03,040
F

84
00:04:03,503 --> 00:04:05,383
And then W A B I.

85
00:04:07,974 --> 00:04:10,730
That's their call letters, W A B I.

86
00:04:12,965 --> 00:04:13,686
That's pretty cool.

87
00:04:13,686 --> 00:04:17,885
And it's got several hundred plays so far, which is pretty awesome to see.

88
00:04:17,885 --> 00:04:19,328
even got their image in there.

89
00:04:19,353 --> 00:04:26,761
and it's increased ~ our ~ mailing list by like five percent, which is like kinda
shocking.

90
00:04:26,761 --> 00:04:29,851
Like that's a huge jump in numbers and like signups.

91
00:04:29,851 --> 00:04:36,004
just for the ~ wordle game, I mean the ~ just for the game, the puzzle game, that is
pretty big.

92
00:04:36,004 --> 00:04:36,742
That's awesome.

93
00:04:36,742 --> 00:04:39,093
you don't have to sign up to play the game either.

94
00:04:39,093 --> 00:04:42,504
So it's it's pretty cool people are just signing up for it.

95
00:04:43,465 --> 00:04:50,147
and then also the other thing that I've been doing is I've been working on ~ I've been
working on this.

96
00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:59,191
I'm working on getting some Laura radios set up so I can do some mesh tastic stuff.

97
00:04:59,702 --> 00:05:03,133
but I much to my chagrin there are only

98
00:05:03,869 --> 00:05:07,331
no users around me, so it's it's kinda hard.

99
00:05:07,331 --> 00:05:17,835
So I'm trying to like organize with the local library a mesh network user group to kind of
encourage folks to to pick up a mesh network or a LoRa radio for themselves.

100
00:05:17,835 --> 00:05:19,476
~

101
00:05:19,476 --> 00:05:20,776
which will be fun.

102
00:05:21,897 --> 00:05:22,777
Yeah.

103
00:05:22,857 --> 00:05:30,781
And if you don't know what LoRa or mesh network radios are, this is like a 800 819
megahertz radio.

104
00:05:31,249 --> 00:05:45,322
and ~ you it's it has a bluetooth connection in it you can connect it with your phone and
then it's like fully offline ~ completely decentralized ~ text chat which is really

105
00:05:45,322 --> 00:05:52,348
awesome and the more users you have the more users you have the more resilient the network
becomes

106
00:05:52,588 --> 00:06:03,635
~ because like let's say that James, high tech and myself are in a network, and James is
on one side of me and high tech's on the other, they can't see each other because they're

107
00:06:03,635 --> 00:06:11,090
not in range, but because I'm in the middle, they can send a message to each other and my
radio will facilitate sending that message.

108
00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:15,993
And the more users you have, the more resilient the message delivery becomes.

109
00:06:17,381 --> 00:06:18,182
That is good stuff.

110
00:06:18,182 --> 00:06:23,601
I'd like to see more of that happen in our ~ how do you connect to it anyways through your
phone?

111
00:06:23,601 --> 00:06:27,036
Is it via Bluetooth or do you connect to like a Wi Fi?

112
00:06:27,139 --> 00:06:35,549
Yeah, so the way it works is you have the Mesh Tastic app on your phone, which is open
source, and then you have this connects via Bluetooth.

113
00:06:35,549 --> 00:06:43,355
~ you can also like have network-based ones, so you can like connect like a networked
based station to your network.

114
00:06:43,555 --> 00:06:47,917
And then you can connect over to it over the n over your local network or whatever.

115
00:06:48,129 --> 00:06:57,856
but this is just Bluetooth and then you can go in and I've tried sending a few messages
but they threw errors because there's no other nodes to acknowledge receipt, so ~

116
00:06:57,856 --> 00:06:58,342
~

117
00:06:58,342 --> 00:06:59,262
yeah.

118
00:07:00,624 --> 00:07:01,685
But it's fun.

119
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:02,766
that does sound pretty cool.

120
00:07:02,766 --> 00:07:03,760
James, what about you?

121
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,616
What have you been doing this week?

122
00:07:05,644 --> 00:07:10,995
Well, I was also on the news on TV on c to catch a predator.

123
00:07:10,995 --> 00:07:12,891
No, I'm just gonna

124
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:14,137
Ha ha ha.

125
00:07:14,548 --> 00:07:15,008
No.

126
00:07:15,008 --> 00:07:18,204
No I know.

127
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:22,330
It was a risky joke, but I figured I'd I want to feel special too.

128
00:07:22,631 --> 00:07:22,851
but

129
00:07:22,851 --> 00:07:24,844
I guess that's a really bad way to go.

130
00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:25,733
So

131
00:07:25,733 --> 00:07:27,064
Yeah, no kidding.

132
00:07:27,269 --> 00:07:28,957
The wrong kind of special.

133
00:07:29,232 --> 00:07:31,073
Yeah.

134
00:07:31,073 --> 00:07:32,834
no, I not nothing too crazy this week.

135
00:07:32,834 --> 00:07:36,876
I think ~ let's see, I talked about beating control like a week ago.

136
00:07:37,677 --> 00:07:43,580
People need to go buy Allen Wake, Control Resident, especially Control Resident, but you
need to play Control 1.

137
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:49,304
~ they need cells because it's such a creative ~ dev.

138
00:07:49,304 --> 00:07:52,055
They just tend to not get as many cells as they need to.

139
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:54,806
Like, Resident Evil has made almost a half a billion.

140
00:07:54,987 --> 00:07:57,032
I'm hoping that control

141
00:07:57,701 --> 00:08:01,634
breaks even because that always determines if they're gonna go bankrupt and they've had
issues in the past.

142
00:08:01,634 --> 00:08:04,986
That's why they've had an exclusive deal with Alan Wake too with Epic.

143
00:08:04,986 --> 00:08:11,200
And so ~ I'd love people to go and buy and play control resident.

144
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,401
It is really is fun and it's really worth it.

145
00:08:13,401 --> 00:08:16,133
And they even have a recap of the first one.

146
00:08:16,133 --> 00:08:17,964
It's gameplay is just fun.

147
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:26,720
So I think anyone that enjoys something that's like fast paced, hack like it kind of has
the hack and slash and some other stuff.

148
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,522
Like it's

149
00:08:27,522 --> 00:08:28,332
It's very fun.

150
00:08:28,332 --> 00:08:31,114
~ trippy though, but fun.

151
00:08:31,714 --> 00:08:35,406
beyond that, just continuing to work on some software.

152
00:08:36,177 --> 00:08:37,898
and yeah.

153
00:08:37,898 --> 00:08:40,780
One of these days we'll record with some of the software I'm working on.

154
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:45,923
I'm just reworking through some of the systems to make sure it's more stable.

155
00:08:45,923 --> 00:08:48,304
So having fun there.

156
00:08:48,304 --> 00:08:52,806
I don't think I have anything really else of note.

157
00:08:53,067 --> 00:08:55,168
Gar high tech, what are you up to?

158
00:08:56,714 --> 00:08:57,794
playing Elden Ring.

159
00:08:57,794 --> 00:09:01,116
I did get a new I did get something cool to review though.

160
00:09:01,116 --> 00:09:03,337
I got two things cool to review.

161
00:09:03,457 --> 00:09:07,459
First is that J is the JSOX ~ like faceplate.

162
00:09:07,459 --> 00:09:10,741
I got the Pixel display, ~ not the Eing display.

163
00:09:11,081 --> 00:09:12,602
But it's pretty cool.

164
00:09:13,463 --> 00:09:17,905
And second, PyMax sent me a VR headset.

165
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:20,589
There you go.

166
00:09:20,589 --> 00:09:22,287
Pi max, that's cool.

167
00:09:22,287 --> 00:09:23,068
That is pretty cool.

168
00:09:23,068 --> 00:09:26,433
Yes, it's the pull the box again.

169
00:09:27,244 --> 00:09:28,086
Mm-hmm.

170
00:09:28,086 --> 00:09:30,189
Dream Air Slam.

171
00:09:32,209 --> 00:09:34,933
No, I got it is PC

172
00:09:34,933 --> 00:09:36,264
real, yes, I th I believe so.

173
00:09:36,264 --> 00:09:38,859
Yeah

174
00:09:38,859 --> 00:09:41,827
you do have a VR headset, so you don't have to be too sad.

175
00:09:42,928 --> 00:09:43,879
That i that is right.

176
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:45,299
I it don't have to be too sad.

177
00:09:45,299 --> 00:09:46,530
It's PC VR.

178
00:09:46,530 --> 00:09:52,323
I would have So it says SLAM, but I don't know what that SLAM refers to, truth be told.

179
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:56,316
~ With slam tracking or base station ecosystem.

180
00:09:56,316 --> 00:09:58,597
~ It's the ~

181
00:09:58,597 --> 00:10:02,249
it's the ~ ps there's their tracking system.

182
00:10:02,249 --> 00:10:03,772
You know, I honestly haven't

183
00:10:03,772 --> 00:10:04,803
hooked it up yet.

184
00:10:04,803 --> 00:10:12,561
I need to I need to pull out my gaming laptop for that though, I 'cause this is not a good
this is not a good this room right here is not a good VR play space, I will say.

185
00:10:12,561 --> 00:10:13,321
Mm.

186
00:10:14,928 --> 00:10:16,865
Yeah, it's not standalone, right?

187
00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:19,927
It is not standalone, no.

188
00:10:20,206 --> 00:10:23,544
I will have to say that is the one nice thing about the steam frame is it's standalone.

189
00:10:23,544 --> 00:10:26,369
That's all I've been using it for lately, 'cause I just

190
00:10:26,631 --> 00:10:29,435
don't want to be at my desk with it right now.

191
00:10:29,561 --> 00:10:33,008
It is also unfortunately not wireless either.

192
00:10:33,984 --> 00:10:35,232
It's expensive.

193
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:37,087
Yeah, it is expensive.

194
00:10:37,087 --> 00:10:39,352
I feel privileged to have one of these.

195
00:10:39,352 --> 00:10:39,765
Yeah.

196
00:10:39,765 --> 00:10:41,733
Dude, congrats, man.

197
00:10:41,733 --> 00:10:42,554
Thank you, thank you.

198
00:10:42,554 --> 00:10:50,020
~ so it does so if you have like an index setup, you can use it with the lighthouses.

199
00:10:50,020 --> 00:10:52,542
There is a version that uses it with lighthouses.

200
00:10:53,483 --> 00:10:58,487
Of course I don't have one, so I don't have an index or anything like that, so like yeah.

201
00:10:59,548 --> 00:11:00,296
I don't think

202
00:11:00,296 --> 00:11:02,260
are expensive to maintain too.

203
00:11:02,260 --> 00:11:04,313
They they wear out after time.

204
00:11:04,535 --> 00:11:05,435
So

205
00:11:05,461 --> 00:11:06,114
And

206
00:11:06,114 --> 00:11:06,663
Mm.

207
00:11:06,663 --> 00:11:09,246
and they're a huge pain in the ass to set up.

208
00:11:09,427 --> 00:11:10,428
Too.

209
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:13,894
So like yeah, that's that's a no go for me, man.

210
00:11:13,894 --> 00:11:16,417
That's probably that's probably why I didn't get the index.

211
00:11:16,805 --> 00:11:17,685
Hmm.

212
00:11:17,966 --> 00:11:21,749
I have them installed like on the on the walls, like up high.

213
00:11:21,749 --> 00:11:29,494
~ and you know, I go through fits and ~ spits and phases of playing VR.

214
00:11:29,925 --> 00:11:34,518
'cause it's really it's really when I get a hanker in to play ~ Beat Saber.

215
00:11:34,518 --> 00:11:37,580
So I haven't put a lot of time on the lighthouses, thankfully.

216
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:41,392
I just I don't want them to ~ you know

217
00:11:41,392 --> 00:11:42,063
Where

218
00:11:42,063 --> 00:11:42,604
wear out.

219
00:11:42,604 --> 00:11:42,774
Yeah.

220
00:11:42,774 --> 00:11:44,285
That would suck.

221
00:11:44,367 --> 00:11:49,266
Well, I did pick up some VR titles during the sale too, ~ to play.

222
00:11:49,917 --> 00:11:51,491
S ~

223
00:11:51,491 --> 00:11:52,672
Boneworks.

224
00:11:54,075 --> 00:11:55,248
Do you have your VR legs?

225
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:59,591
I tried playing Boneworks and I just about vomited.

226
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,791
I have VR legs.

227
00:12:02,193 --> 00:12:07,120
I've tried VR he I've tried my friend's VR headsets and I've I've been able to do them
just fine.

228
00:12:08,424 --> 00:12:09,786
~ sorry, wrong topic.

229
00:12:09,786 --> 00:12:10,607
That's for later.

230
00:12:10,607 --> 00:12:12,088
Sorry, spoiler alert.

231
00:12:12,185 --> 00:12:13,131
~ huh.

232
00:12:15,391 --> 00:12:18,384
but yeah, basically That's my week.

233
00:12:18,384 --> 00:12:21,307
I've been playing Elden Ring, got some cool stuff.

234
00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:23,689
I'm I'm about to beat the game.

235
00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:25,041
But I just decide to start

236
00:12:25,041 --> 00:12:31,017
the ~ But I decide to start the DLC before I fully beat the final boss.

237
00:12:31,017 --> 00:12:34,821
I liter I literally am at the final boss of Elden Ring.

238
00:12:35,342 --> 00:12:38,665
After powering up a little bit, I've just been blown through the game.

Honestly, this is awesome.

250
00:13:17,233 --> 00:13:19,405
Hitting a hundred is a is really

251
00:13:19,420 --> 00:13:20,887
an awesome milestone.

252
00:13:20,887 --> 00:13:28,963
We're ex like it's it was a stressful episode to plan, but now that we're at least over
it, it's it's great.

253
00:13:28,963 --> 00:13:30,083
Episode two?

254
00:13:30,083 --> 00:13:30,893
yeah, I remember.

255
00:13:30,893 --> 00:13:35,816
I I remember we ~ fun fact, we actually have an episode one.

256
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:38,057
so this is episode one right here, you know, Game Freak.

257
00:13:38,057 --> 00:13:45,452
We talked about the Tisplosion fanfic, but there was actually an episode recorded before
that, but due to technical issues,

258
00:13:45,452 --> 00:13:45,840
Mm.

259
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,862
namely half the episode being unusable audio, ~ we had to

260
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:50,842
scrap it.

261
00:13:51,002 --> 00:13:57,505
But I don't know, maybe you g maybe you guys want to hear our thoughts on whatever was hap
do we still have that recording?

262
00:13:58,009 --> 00:13:58,779
boy, I don't know.

263
00:13:58,779 --> 00:13:59,330
what worked?

264
00:13:59,330 --> 00:13:59,802
I don't know.

265
00:13:59,802 --> 00:14:00,960
~

266
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,468
~ we've gotta have it somewhere.

267
00:14:02,468 --> 00:14:04,355
I'm pretty sure we have it somewhere.

268
00:14:04,528 --> 00:14:10,140
Maybe we could try rec maybe we could try releasing usable parts of it as like free

269
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:11,640
behind the scenes stuff.

270
00:14:11,661 --> 00:14:12,981
I don't know man, that's crazy.

271
00:14:12,981 --> 00:14:18,843
But Yeah, but let let's talk about our good friend the Steam Frame.

272
00:14:20,124 --> 00:14:23,105
Reservations opened up already.

273
00:14:23,165 --> 00:14:26,226
And ~ someone's got their Steam Frame already.

274
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:34,169
But someone else, ~ naming me, I'm still in the wait queue, but people in the reservation
queue actually have dates for theirs and

275
00:14:34,319 --> 00:14:37,309
I think Gardner posted his earlier.

276
00:14:37,309 --> 00:14:38,800
~ let me see.

277
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:41,231
yeah, I'm so excited about it too.

278
00:14:41,965 --> 00:14:44,761
Hell yeah, you you're gonna get shares next year.

279
00:14:44,761 --> 00:14:47,511
Yeah, it just says twenty twenty seven.

280
00:14:47,781 --> 00:14:53,292
That's crazy to me that look, look, this is Gardner by the way.

281
00:14:53,473 --> 00:14:56,668
and high tech didn't get anything, dude, twenty twenty eight.

282
00:14:56,668 --> 00:14:59,214
At least it didn't say high tech, at least it didn't say twenty twenty eight for you.

283
00:14:59,214 --> 00:15:01,388
Imagine if it said twenty twenty eight.

284
00:15:01,497 --> 00:15:02,399
Mm.

285
00:15:03,245 --> 00:15:05,589
Man, what the ~ my god.

286
00:15:05,589 --> 00:15:07,090
Come on, Valve.

287
00:15:07,855 --> 00:15:09,076
I just don't

288
00:15:10,798 --> 00:15:11,848
I wonder

289
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:14,852
I wonder if they're even gonna ca like, I don't know.

290
00:15:14,852 --> 00:15:17,554
I don't know if they're taking the Steam Frame that serious right now.

291
00:15:18,255 --> 00:15:19,455
Sadly enough.

292
00:15:20,097 --> 00:15:21,417
Yeah.

293
00:15:21,642 --> 00:15:22,895
That's my perception

294
00:15:22,895 --> 00:15:23,617
too, man.

295
00:15:23,617 --> 00:15:27,131
It's like it I am deeply concerned about it.

296
00:15:27,131 --> 00:15:29,564
Twenty twenty seven is over.

297
00:15:29,564 --> 00:15:31,366
It's over for me, yo.

298
00:15:31,366 --> 00:15:32,466
Y'all.

299
00:15:32,768 --> 00:15:36,812
Gardner, it doesn't even this doesn't even give you like a time frame in twenty twenty
seven either.

300
00:15:36,812 --> 00:15:37,837
That's the thing.

301
00:15:37,837 --> 00:15:38,098
Right.

302
00:15:38,098 --> 00:15:43,949
No, for audio listeners, it literally says your estimated order availability, twenty
twenty seven.

303
00:15:44,334 --> 00:15:45,415
It could be

304
00:15:45,415 --> 00:15:48,757
January 2027, which would be best case scenario for you.

305
00:15:48,957 --> 00:15:54,520
Or or or or it could be December 2027.

306
00:15:55,041 --> 00:15:55,311
Worst

307
00:15:55,311 --> 00:15:56,602
case scenario for you.

308
00:15:57,723 --> 00:15:59,844
And now that I say that, I'm dreading

309
00:15:59,844 --> 00:16:02,286
the 2028 date that I get to order mine.

310
00:16:02,286 --> 00:16:04,667
Hopefully there's a price drop by the time that happens.

311
00:16:04,667 --> 00:16:06,228
By the time I get to order mine.

312
00:16:06,228 --> 00:16:06,581
As a

313
00:16:06,581 --> 00:16:08,810
recompense for not having one for two years.

314
00:16:10,884 --> 00:16:12,302
Dude, ~ man.

315
00:16:12,302 --> 00:16:14,448
S it's it's bad, man.

316
00:16:16,237 --> 00:16:18,745
And we've been s we've been seeing shipments of these come in.

317
00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:20,431
What the hell happened to all those shipments?

318
00:16:20,431 --> 00:16:22,696
Do they only ship like five at a time?

319
00:16:23,587 --> 00:16:24,747
It's what it seems.

320
00:16:24,747 --> 00:16:29,884
I it's like I I genuinely don't know what is going on with Valve right now.

321
00:16:30,325 --> 00:16:34,609
Like the good times are over.

322
00:16:35,311 --> 00:16:37,312
That's that's Home Star Runner.

323
00:16:39,076 --> 00:16:44,722
I I think hardware is just kind of screwed at this point for a while.

324
00:16:44,722 --> 00:16:47,965
I think there's so much disruptions right now in hardware and in the game.

325
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:54,111
Like I think being a PC like z the best time to be a PC gamer was a couple years ago and
now we're kinda like on this

326
00:16:54,612 --> 00:16:57,674
lull of gotta deal with what you have.

327
00:16:58,012 --> 00:16:58,577
~

328
00:16:58,577 --> 00:17:01,210
I mean, honestly, there's

329
00:17:01,210 --> 00:17:06,184
no there there's nothing worth getting right now that is like like real like really.

330
00:17:06,265 --> 00:17:07,687
Everything's gone up in price.

331
00:17:07,687 --> 00:17:10,889
Even the best value in gaming, the Steam Deck.

332
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:12,541
It used to be the best b value in gaming.

333
00:17:12,541 --> 00:17:15,614
Four hundred dollars for like PC gaming?

334
00:17:15,955 --> 00:17:18,054
S What happened Yeah

335
00:17:18,054 --> 00:17:23,600
it what you get for it now is almost worth it's not it's not worth it in any way.

336
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,084
~ unless you really travel a lot.

337
00:17:27,545 --> 00:17:28,329
But it used to be worth it.

338
00:17:28,329 --> 00:17:36,114
Like you used to be a really good indie game player and every like and I don't know, eight
hundred dollars just not worth it.

339
00:17:36,172 --> 00:17:37,001
~

340
00:17:37,001 --> 00:17:38,111
It's it's really not.

341
00:17:38,111 --> 00:17:46,424
I mean you could get an RG Xbox Aliex for like a few few hundred more and it'd be it
wouldn't have OLED.

342
00:17:46,604 --> 00:17:47,464
But

343
00:17:47,464 --> 00:17:49,925
it would be a better experience, I feel.

344
00:17:50,225 --> 00:17:53,486
Well the b God damn

345
00:17:53,486 --> 00:17:53,606
it.

346
00:17:53,606 --> 00:18:00,569
The more it's the trackpads I'd be missing like severely and that that's that's what I
like about the Steam Deck.

347
00:18:00,569 --> 00:18:01,942
And the OLED screen.

348
00:18:01,942 --> 00:18:04,864
though, they're not gonna care about the trackpads as much.

349
00:18:04,864 --> 00:18:06,345
For most people.

350
00:18:06,465 --> 00:18:10,599
But this Yeah, I'm not gonna argue against that, of course.

351
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:11,409
Yeah.

352
00:18:11,409 --> 00:18:12,230
But I think

353
00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:24,379
the Steam ecosystem is really nice and easy as opposed to when you get the Xbox LAX, you
end up having to deal with ~ the Microsoft interface, which is just not great.

354
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:25,733
And plus

355
00:18:25,733 --> 00:18:26,784
is poo poo.

356
00:18:26,821 --> 00:18:30,508
I would n I'd highly recommend no one inner like

357
00:18:30,508 --> 00:18:33,612
invest in the Microsoft ecosystem at this point.

358
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:36,717
Obviously get Steam on your Xbox LAX.

359
00:18:36,717 --> 00:18:37,708
Which you can, obviously.

360
00:18:37,708 --> 00:18:39,640
It will let you set everything up.

361
00:18:39,721 --> 00:18:41,821
Just I would not yeah.

362
00:18:41,821 --> 00:18:44,271
~ also get Steam OS too while you're

363
00:18:44,325 --> 00:18:45,769
Yeah, or b at least basite.

364
00:18:45,769 --> 00:18:47,338
Yeah.

365
00:18:48,202 --> 00:18:49,183
One or the honestly

366
00:18:49,183 --> 00:18:54,657
I think it SteamOS supports it pretty much a hundred percent, including all the ~ color
changing and everything.

367
00:18:54,657 --> 00:18:55,898
So I don't

368
00:18:56,018 --> 00:19:00,142
Baz I it's a hard one to say which one you should go for, ~ for a handheld.

369
00:19:00,142 --> 00:19:04,415
Steam OS, unless you're doing like desktop oriented stuff, Steam OS is great.

370
00:19:04,415 --> 00:19:13,098
If you're if you're gonna be plugging it into a monitor and wanna do some editing or
something, then obviously guess Baz I I think is definitely the better way to go.

371
00:19:13,098 --> 00:19:14,989
at all the top played Steam Deck games.

372
00:19:14,989 --> 00:19:16,780
Let's let's do some reminiscing right now.

373
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:17,941
The good old days.

374
00:19:17,941 --> 00:19:18,863
Hmm.

375
00:19:19,542 --> 00:19:22,383
People willingly play The Witcher on Steam Deck?

376
00:19:22,383 --> 00:19:23,837
That sounds like a terrible idea.

377
00:19:23,837 --> 00:19:25,768
I guess it must run well though.

378
00:19:25,768 --> 00:19:27,149
If you can force

379
00:19:27,149 --> 00:19:37,834
so if you use X if it supports FSR three, I think you can force FSR four point one on to
over ~ FSR three for titles like that.

380
00:19:37,834 --> 00:19:42,796
So I don't know if the Witcher Three is rema 'cause it just came out with the remaster
like a couple like a week or two ago.

381
00:19:43,136 --> 00:19:46,017
the remaster came out, like the re remaster.

382
00:19:46,258 --> 00:19:51,720
And I'm th from my understanding it plays well enough on the Steam Deck, so

383
00:19:52,753 --> 00:19:55,027
Let's see what we ha what else we've got here.

384
00:19:56,932 --> 00:19:58,218
Lots of triple eight.

385
00:19:58,218 --> 00:20:05,001
and Cyberpunk are ones I'm shocked people play on the Steam Deck, because as you get later
into those games, they suck on the Steam Deck.

386
00:20:05,001 --> 00:20:06,406
You have to really,

387
00:20:06,587 --> 00:20:15,893
really lower the ~ the settings, which I g you heck, finish it if that's what you have, do
it, but they're not like they're Ugh.

388
00:20:15,893 --> 00:20:18,049
the performance has improved since then, you know.

389
00:20:18,049 --> 00:20:19,981
They're still updating these games after all.

390
00:20:19,981 --> 00:20:22,161
every year and it's not.

391
00:20:24,662 --> 00:20:25,272
It does.

392
00:20:25,272 --> 00:20:26,223
Both of them do.

393
00:20:26,223 --> 00:20:27,263
Both of them do.

394
00:20:27,263 --> 00:20:29,364
I think Baldur's Gate 3 has gotten better though.

395
00:20:29,364 --> 00:20:30,974
So I haven't tried that in a while.

396
00:20:30,974 --> 00:20:32,245
~ that one

397
00:20:32,245 --> 00:20:35,426
doesn't require as the fa as much fast pace but Cyberpunk.

398
00:20:35,426 --> 00:20:39,347
I just th people always say it's good on the Steam Deck every time I play it, man.

399
00:20:40,088 --> 00:20:40,595
It is

400
00:20:40,595 --> 00:20:41,648
mean, it was

401
00:20:41,648 --> 00:20:44,683
it was good before the DLC came out.

402
00:20:45,369 --> 00:20:46,290
Yeah.

403
00:20:46,293 --> 00:20:49,624
I know Emily loves Bulgers Gate and she plays it on her

404
00:20:49,624 --> 00:20:50,247
Yeah.

405
00:20:50,247 --> 00:20:50,938
scene back.

406
00:20:50,938 --> 00:20:51,575
Lot of really

407
00:20:51,575 --> 00:20:53,646
definitely been playable in the past.

408
00:20:53,646 --> 00:20:58,769
It's just it was a little frustrating at times when I tried it.

409
00:20:59,210 --> 00:21:01,071
I've been playing it on the Steam machine.

410
00:21:01,071 --> 00:21:02,674
Yeah, sorry, could w go ahead.

411
00:21:02,674 --> 00:21:03,855
usual suspects are up here.

412
00:21:03,855 --> 00:21:17,145
I mean you've got like Slate Aspire, Slate Aspire 2, Balatro, Monster Hunter, GTA 4, not
5.

413
00:21:17,145 --> 00:21:20,958
wait, that's because GTA 5's multiplayer doesn't work on Steam Deck anymore.

414
00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:24,541
Rockstar.

415
00:21:25,502 --> 00:21:29,952
Who wants to bet that GTA six when it comes to PC won't work on Linux either?

416
00:21:31,169 --> 00:21:33,714
yeah, there's n almost no way.

417
00:21:33,796 --> 00:21:34,878
At least not initially.

418
00:21:34,878 --> 00:21:37,663
People the Valve will figure it out eventually, but

419
00:21:37,957 --> 00:21:38,297
Yeah,

420
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:42,199
I'm sure I mean sure I'm sure the single player I'm sure the single player will work, but

421
00:21:42,199 --> 00:21:43,600
probably not the multiplayer.

422
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,400
Anyways.

423
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,721
Yeah, it's the usual suspects.

424
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:48,182
A lot of these games we've seen multiple times.

425
00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:50,873
some games are new here, like Welcome to Enderfield.

426
00:21:50,873 --> 00:21:53,684
I haven't seen that yet, but I also haven't consulted

427
00:21:53,684 --> 00:21:55,235
this list in a long time.

428
00:21:55,235 --> 00:21:56,686
No, it is number 95.

429
00:21:56,686 --> 00:21:58,962
Yeah.

430
00:21:58,962 --> 00:22:00,867
number ninety five.

431
00:22:01,581 --> 00:22:05,053
Elderfield ~ Emily re did a article about that.

432
00:22:05,053 --> 00:22:06,436
It was really good.

433
00:22:06,436 --> 00:22:08,269
Ooh, Elden Ring is on here.

434
00:22:08,269 --> 00:22:09,550
Number twenty.

435
00:22:09,891 --> 00:22:12,995
Been playing this on my Steam machine and my desktop.

436
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:14,449
It

437
00:22:14,449 --> 00:22:17,012
works pretty good on the Steam Deck, but

438
00:22:17,374 --> 00:22:19,816
it's definitely I don't know.

439
00:22:20,318 --> 00:22:22,861
I've graduated through the Steam Machine.

440
00:22:22,861 --> 00:22:24,824
That's all I play my stuff on right now.

441
00:22:25,411 --> 00:22:26,403
Honestly same.

442
00:22:26,403 --> 00:22:30,571
I only break out my Steam Deck to play games, portably.

443
00:22:30,571 --> 00:22:31,848
Like out of my house.

444
00:22:31,848 --> 00:22:32,160
I

445
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:39,679
I just I I I get on it and I'm like, maybe I'll just go downst go on my TV and it's just I
think it's just my playstyle right now.

446
00:22:39,679 --> 00:22:43,995
I get excited about stuff and so it's just my how I'm doing things in life.

447
00:22:43,995 --> 00:22:46,368
I have my thirty ninety right below my Steam machine too.

448
00:22:46,368 --> 00:22:49,532
My my PC with the thirty ninety and I haven't turned it on in months.

449
00:22:49,893 --> 00:22:50,361
Damn.

450
00:22:50,361 --> 00:22:51,241
Mm.

451
00:22:51,608 --> 00:22:54,153
'Cause I just it the steam machine's so much easier.

452
00:22:54,536 --> 00:22:57,366
And I will say at a thousand at a thousand

453
00:22:57,366 --> 00:22:58,868
nin ~

454
00:22:58,868 --> 00:23:02,214
wait, turn your thirty ninety to a cloud streaming device.

455
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:04,479
That's got the pyro wave now.

456
00:23:04,479 --> 00:23:04,719
You

457
00:23:04,719 --> 00:23:05,419
can

458
00:23:06,512 --> 00:23:06,972
True.

459
00:23:06,972 --> 00:23:09,894
I we've we've talked about it it's one of those things I want to.

460
00:23:09,894 --> 00:23:23,241
I still need a cr I the RAM Pocalypse kind of thing really just screwed up all my plans
for doing a a home lab like server system and everything like I had all my dreams,

461
00:23:23,241 --> 00:23:23,531
everything

462
00:23:23,531 --> 00:23:30,985
and then like I'm not spending that much and then I ended up spending all that money that
I would have on Steam Frame and everything else and now I'm having a little bit of buyer's

463
00:23:30,985 --> 00:23:33,377
remorse 'cause it's just so freaking expensive.

464
00:23:33,377 --> 00:23:35,759
I was not expecting to be paying what I did.

465
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:36,513
You can sell

466
00:23:36,513 --> 00:23:38,694
I mean you could sell it if you don't like it.

467
00:23:38,694 --> 00:23:40,852
Russ sol Russell his.

468
00:23:41,948 --> 00:23:43,002
I might

469
00:23:43,002 --> 00:23:43,692
you.

470
00:23:46,456 --> 00:23:47,127
See, that's the thing.

471
00:23:47,127 --> 00:23:52,372
I would I would I'm I'm on the fence right now 'cause my kids really like it.

472
00:23:52,372 --> 00:23:54,384
I let them play it supervised.

473
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:59,270
But and I like it.

474
00:23:59,270 --> 00:24:00,019
I play it too.

475
00:24:00,019 --> 00:24:04,933
It's just I've played all these games for like d like some of them dozens of hours before.

476
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:12,386
So I'm coming back to a system that has ~ not a whole lot of new game.

477
00:24:12,386 --> 00:24:14,637
Most of the new games for VR have been on meta.

478
00:24:14,637 --> 00:24:18,569
And I so I need to sideload meta and see how that is and figure or like sideload stuff.

479
00:24:18,569 --> 00:24:20,975
There's a lot of stuff I need to do still.

480
00:24:20,975 --> 00:24:26,576
I've heard yeah, I've heard you can sideload Oculus exclusives on the frame.

481
00:24:26,576 --> 00:24:27,500
~

482
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:29,216
on the frame specifically, yeah.

483
00:24:29,216 --> 00:24:31,263
I I can't I know that you can do it with the valve index.

484
00:24:31,263 --> 00:24:32,218
I just never did it.

485
00:24:32,218 --> 00:24:37,057
there's a VR version of Resident Evil 4, the original one that's Oculus exclusive.

486
00:24:37,057 --> 00:24:38,104
Yeah.

487
00:24:38,353 --> 00:24:39,145
You should try that.

488
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:41,840
See how that w she see how that shakes out.

489
00:24:44,739 --> 00:24:45,625
It's another excuse to

490
00:24:45,625 --> 00:24:47,745
play Resident Evil four again, I know.

491
00:24:48,876 --> 00:24:50,460
No, I love Resident Evil 4.

492
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:51,816
I'm just

493
00:24:53,812 --> 00:24:54,554
I don't know.

494
00:24:54,554 --> 00:25:01,287
I want like like Half Life Alex proves how good VR games can be and I just want another
Half-Life Alex.

495
00:25:03,461 --> 00:25:03,962
Yep.

496
00:25:03,962 --> 00:25:06,927
but that w that would require Valve making money.

497
00:25:07,389 --> 00:25:09,832
Making spending money to do stuff.

498
00:25:11,565 --> 00:25:12,338
~

499
00:25:12,496 --> 00:25:15,116
They have they're they're not gonna go bankrupt anytime soon.

500
00:25:15,116 --> 00:25:18,796
I they that that's my biggest gripe.

501
00:25:18,796 --> 00:25:30,775
And I I said it before we started is that the Steam frame struggles and potentially is a
failed product in my eyes because they didn't prepare anything software wise really for

502
00:25:30,775 --> 00:25:31,465
it.

503
00:25:31,905 --> 00:25:35,967
So not even a demo, nothing.

504
00:25:36,387 --> 00:25:38,548
It it came out and

505
00:25:39,158 --> 00:25:50,531
It's cool that all this stuff works for it and everything, but I'm just shocked that they
didn't spend money on the software side and and do what Meta di does and

506
00:25:50,752 --> 00:25:51,652
yeah.

507
00:25:52,152 --> 00:25:56,783
Fund some VR ~ studios to make more games that are more appealing.

508
00:25:56,783 --> 00:26:00,364
It doesn't even have to be Steam means Ste Steam Frame exclusive.

509
00:26:00,364 --> 00:26:04,275
It just needs to be new and exciting.

510
00:26:05,256 --> 00:26:06,116
So

511
00:26:07,375 --> 00:26:17,300
I'm a little disappointed because I've been holding out for the Steam frame for so long,
seeing all the games that have come out on on the meta VR ~ glasses and everything like

512
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:19,108
that, their their VR headsets, that is.

513
00:26:19,108 --> 00:26:21,652
And I've always been like, that would be cool to play.

514
00:26:21,652 --> 00:26:25,154
I don't want a I don't want a meta device.

515
00:26:26,175 --> 00:26:26,595
And now

516
00:26:26,595 --> 00:26:34,019
I have the Steam frame and very little has changed since the Valve Index.

517
00:26:34,379 --> 00:26:36,300
Except for, don't get me wrong, like it is

518
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:39,473
I'm I'm I feel bipolar on this because the standalone is awesome.

519
00:26:39,473 --> 00:26:40,552
I will I will say that.

520
00:26:40,552 --> 00:26:49,651
Being able to play Dead Space, ~ not VR, but like having it be visible, Dead Space was r
is really cool.

521
00:26:50,973 --> 00:26:56,116
But at the end of the day, the battery is an hour.

522
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:57,538
So I can't

523
00:26:57,538 --> 00:27:03,864
I can play Dead Space virtually unplugged for an hour at a time is stupid.

524
00:27:03,864 --> 00:27:04,744
So

525
00:27:04,934 --> 00:27:11,900
Didn't they just have a new steamless update that addresses some battery life issues?

526
00:27:13,484 --> 00:27:15,305
I don't know if they're gonna be able to address it enough.

527
00:27:15,305 --> 00:27:16,485
I haven't tried

528
00:27:16,485 --> 00:27:20,176
I've updated I'm not on I'm usually on the beta track.

529
00:27:20,176 --> 00:27:25,187
On the VR headset I'm not, because I've just been playing it in a very specific way.

530
00:27:25,187 --> 00:27:26,528
~

531
00:27:26,528 --> 00:27:36,011
I'll have to see, but I will say since it's the last update, and I can't remember if it
was the update you're talking about, the battery life was better.

532
00:27:36,411 --> 00:27:40,732
But once again, like it it it's it is frustrating.

533
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,634
It's not like I have to p like in order for me to really want to play this, I have to plug
it in and keep it plugged in.

534
00:27:49,699 --> 00:27:50,342
So

535
00:27:50,342 --> 00:27:50,917
Damn.

536
00:27:50,917 --> 00:27:53,733
can you like pocket a battery pack and plug it in and play?

537
00:27:53,733 --> 00:27:54,476
Yeah.

538
00:27:54,476 --> 00:27:55,046
yeah.

539
00:27:55,046 --> 00:27:58,528
I'm pr ~ I haven't tried it yet, but I know people that that have.

540
00:27:58,548 --> 00:27:59,148
I've talked about

541
00:27:59,148 --> 00:28:02,623
making the like the battery bomb vest where it has like four of but

542
00:28:02,623 --> 00:28:03,586
right.

543
00:28:03,671 --> 00:28:07,954
I spent all my money on buying these steam frames, so I don't want to buy any more things.

544
00:28:07,954 --> 00:28:08,804
Like I'm I'm

545
00:28:08,804 --> 00:28:09,353
not kidding.

546
00:28:09,353 --> 00:28:15,298
Like I am this year's exhausted me on buying shit.

547
00:28:15,298 --> 00:28:15,738
Because

548
00:28:15,738 --> 00:28:17,789
everything is so fucking expensive.

549
00:28:17,789 --> 00:28:19,540
I f ugh.

550
00:28:19,717 --> 00:28:20,566
Yep.

551
00:28:23,342 --> 00:28:24,136
So

552
00:28:24,221 --> 00:28:26,003
I ~ man.

553
00:28:26,364 --> 00:28:30,437
Now that all the valve hard now that all the valve hardware is out, I

554
00:28:30,437 --> 00:28:33,530
miss the hard I miss the hype cycle of all the hardware stuff.

555
00:28:33,530 --> 00:28:34,190
Remember we

556
00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:38,614
were always talking about the steam frame and steam machine and steam controller.

557
00:28:38,614 --> 00:28:40,616
The steam controller is a definite win.

558
00:28:40,616 --> 00:28:41,416
Like I get it, it's

559
00:28:41,416 --> 00:28:43,238
a little expensive for some people.

560
00:28:43,238 --> 00:28:46,401
I also re reserved it as well, 'cause maybe I need a third one.

561
00:28:46,401 --> 00:28:47,351
But like

562
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:49,838
yeah, I reserved mine 'cause I want another one.

563
00:28:50,031 --> 00:28:54,184
Yeah, but like like the I but like like this is a universal win.

564
00:28:54,184 --> 00:29:02,329
The Steam machine in some people's eyes is a little less so due to its price, but I think
but people are like delusional.

565
00:29:02,329 --> 00:29:08,913
Like, yeah, I get it, you have hardware that you bought that's probably more powerful a
thous at like a thousand dollars like a few years ago, but like

566
00:29:08,913 --> 00:29:09,473
Mm.

567
00:29:09,473 --> 00:29:16,427
if you're not someone that bought into video gaming years ago, this is probably your best
option, truth be told.

568
00:29:16,602 --> 00:29:19,537
For a thousand dollars, it's a hard one.

569
00:29:19,739 --> 00:29:21,211
I don't know if I necessarily

570
00:29:21,211 --> 00:29:25,511
agree with them fully, 'cause this is honestly odd like it

571
00:29:25,511 --> 00:29:26,366
does really well.

572
00:29:26,366 --> 00:29:32,068
W my r my real answer is to not get into gaming at all, ~ at these prices.

573
00:29:32,068 --> 00:29:36,210
But if you have to get something gaming, I think the Steam Machine might be your best
option.

574
00:29:36,210 --> 00:29:37,490
That

575
00:29:37,551 --> 00:29:42,563
th or you can spend thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred on a used VS five

576
00:29:42,563 --> 00:29:43,373
Pro.

577
00:29:47,076 --> 00:29:47,881
Yeah.

578
00:29:47,881 --> 00:29:49,097
ridiculous.

579
00:29:49,431 --> 00:29:50,102
It is.

580
00:29:50,102 --> 00:29:53,304
GameStop and other third party s resellers are doing this.

581
00:29:53,304 --> 00:29:55,206
~ because no one can buy

582
00:29:55,206 --> 00:30:04,081
a you can't buy a used PS five pro you can't buy a new PS five pro, ~ 'cause they're all
sold out, 'cause everyone's buying for fucking Grand Theft Auto.

583
00:30:04,081 --> 00:30:04,895
Mm.

584
00:30:04,977 --> 00:30:07,468
Do we have we do have it.

585
00:30:07,468 --> 00:30:19,135
Okay, we'll talk about it because there's a this is like bad news for Sony gamers, but
like there's great news for them to move over to Playstation or to PC that is from

586
00:30:19,135 --> 00:30:20,305
Playstation.

587
00:30:20,326 --> 00:30:21,867
So we but yeah.

588
00:30:21,867 --> 00:30:24,888
It's ~ egregious how expensive this is.

589
00:30:27,853 --> 00:30:28,620
It's

590
00:30:28,753 --> 00:30:29,544
This is crazy.

591
00:30:29,544 --> 00:30:33,460
~ like why dude, ~ P why why would you

592
00:30:33,460 --> 00:30:33,771
play?

593
00:30:33,771 --> 00:30:34,638
Why would you do it?

594
00:30:34,638 --> 00:30:44,620
Well, Playstations are become they're not they're well, they maybe that's a big part of
the problem is that it's just Playstations, steam machines, everything or everything is

595
00:30:44,620 --> 00:30:53,314
just harder to produce because the RAM is so ~ it's I don't it's it's so expensive, but
it's also getting more and more just like not

596
00:30:53,314 --> 00:30:55,187
possible to get, right?

597
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:58,472
So I think we're having shortages in in gaming consoles.

598
00:30:58,472 --> 00:31:02,618
I think Sony's even had to push back their release of the PS six, right?

599
00:31:02,618 --> 00:31:04,051
And so, ~

600
00:31:04,051 --> 00:31:06,104
'cause no one can afford that shit right now.

601
00:31:06,104 --> 00:31:10,288
Like this is already like I get it, it's not Sony's MSRP.

602
00:31:11,331 --> 00:31:16,076
But like even the like base price of the PS5 Pro is like nine hundred dollars.

603
00:31:16,978 --> 00:31:17,639
Like now.

604
00:31:17,639 --> 00:31:19,820
That's that's their current MSRP.

605
00:31:19,972 --> 00:31:21,653
This is also artificial too.

606
00:31:21,653 --> 00:31:24,015
That's what makes us st we we were on a good trend.

607
00:31:24,015 --> 00:31:25,437
Things were just doing well.

608
00:31:25,437 --> 00:31:30,701
Now if they wanted up the prices to make sure employees were getting paid more in the
factories.

609
00:31:31,702 --> 00:31:39,188
But it's all being funneled up or into v AI and sus I don't even know if they need more
like they're growing.

610
00:31:39,188 --> 00:31:40,760
I don't know if they need more data centers.

611
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,373
They already are we're already fine.

612
00:31:44,373 --> 00:31:48,566
It's not like AI's growing that much more in usage, but

613
00:31:48,707 --> 00:31:50,188
I don't know man, it

614
00:31:52,697 --> 00:32:00,748
Alright, so I wonder how much of this is fueled by G like, I'm sure some part of this is
fueled by the fact that GTA six is like the most anticipated game ever made.

615
00:32:00,748 --> 00:32:01,327
It's

616
00:32:01,327 --> 00:32:02,297
That's

617
00:32:02,518 --> 00:32:06,939
definitely a part of it, but I don't I think they they should have been prepared for it.

618
00:32:06,939 --> 00:32:11,906
I don't think they they could have easily stocked up on a lot more, and they didn't.

619
00:32:12,066 --> 00:32:17,490
And Sony's but Sony has played this game before where they make scarcity of things so
people buy more.

620
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:18,492
So who knows?

621
00:32:18,492 --> 00:32:20,824
Maybe they're playing off like that's I don't know.

622
00:32:20,824 --> 00:32:22,935
I think that's the darkest of patterns, Gardner, for me.

623
00:32:22,935 --> 00:32:27,219
Like, when they prey on people's fear of missing out.

624
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:27,840
Yes.

625
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,600
And

626
00:32:28,804 --> 00:32:33,166
They like, it's a s like Sony and and Nintendo have done this both.

627
00:32:34,223 --> 00:32:43,427
Yeah, no, I mean they w Nintendo did it when they did eighty dollar Mario Kart Super Mario
Kart or whatever the hell ~ they did.

628
00:32:43,427 --> 00:32:44,577
Was it Mario Kart eight?

629
00:32:44,577 --> 00:32:45,438
I don't remember.

630
00:32:45,438 --> 00:32:46,398
Nine.

631
00:32:46,418 --> 00:32:48,299
Mario Kart World, that's what it's called.

632
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:48,879
And

633
00:32:48,879 --> 00:32:52,540
and like now Sony's doing it.

634
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:54,281
~

635
00:32:56,125 --> 00:32:59,777
~ and and I mean even like pr ~ GameStop is doing it, right?

636
00:32:59,777 --> 00:33:05,160
Like they're they're and they they're also doing like predatory pricing with like
algorithms too, right?

637
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:15,756
Where it's like they're all colluding with each other using algorithms and saying that
it's not, you know, price gouging because they're doing it with an app.

638
00:33:16,463 --> 00:33:21,497
Which is kind of like the th the entire thesis of Cory Doctorow's inshatification.

639
00:33:21,497 --> 00:33:28,248
It's like it's not a it's not ~ a crime if we do it with an app, you know.

640
00:33:28,248 --> 00:33:29,375
Yeah.

641
00:33:29,425 --> 00:33:31,517
~ lord.

642
00:33:31,517 --> 00:33:40,533
Anyways I mean I don't I don't know if any of us are we all are any of us getting GTA 6 at
launch?

643
00:33:40,533 --> 00:33:40,783
I'm

644
00:33:40,783 --> 00:33:41,673
probably not.

645
00:33:41,784 --> 00:33:44,490
I will never play GTA 6.

646
00:33:44,490 --> 00:33:46,252
I can guarantee you that.

647
00:33:47,372 --> 00:33:51,051
I can guarantee you I will play it at one point in my life.

648
00:33:52,879 --> 00:33:55,932
That's not a challenge for people to end my life before GTA six.

649
00:33:55,932 --> 00:33:57,403
But comes out.

650
00:33:57,403 --> 00:33:58,033
But no.

651
00:33:58,033 --> 00:34:02,777
~ no, I I I'll play it at one point.

652
00:34:02,777 --> 00:34:05,149
I'm not really that excited for it coming out.

653
00:34:05,149 --> 00:34:11,164
Like I have a bunch of other games I'd rather play ~ before GTA six.

654
00:34:11,164 --> 00:34:14,087
I might the FOMO will be hard.

655
00:34:14,087 --> 00:34:15,147
I don't care about the story.

656
00:34:15,147 --> 00:34:15,968
They could ruin it all.

657
00:34:15,968 --> 00:34:17,459
I don't like GTA stories.

658
00:34:17,459 --> 00:34:20,071
I don't like I don't like the villainy.

659
00:34:20,071 --> 00:34:21,252
I don't like

660
00:34:22,392 --> 00:34:29,360
I just don't like to be an asshole on games and that's what I feel like you are in GTA is
you're just a f fucking asshole.

661
00:34:29,610 --> 00:34:29,957
Yep.

662
00:34:29,957 --> 00:34:33,956
Dude, that's what Elon Musk said when he s when he claimed to have tried GTA five.

663
00:34:33,956 --> 00:34:34,416
Yeah.

664
00:34:34,416 --> 00:34:41,011
No, he doesn't like that you're killing cops and stuff like that, which also I don't like
that either.

665
00:34:41,011 --> 00:34:42,502
I'm gonna agree with Elon Musk.

666
00:34:42,502 --> 00:34:47,766
I don't know if he's actually doing it for that reason or not, or if he's just placating
to like the conservative side of things.

667
00:34:47,766 --> 00:34:48,646
I

668
00:34:49,067 --> 00:34:50,858
don't like doing that.

669
00:34:50,858 --> 00:34:55,291
I'm not gonna say people can't make a game, play a game like this.

670
00:34:55,331 --> 00:34:56,572
Not my cup of tea.

671
00:34:56,572 --> 00:35:02,916
I will probably buy it at one point, because I love the open world aspect of it, and I
also wanna like I like

672
00:35:03,856 --> 00:35:11,200
Playing graphically demanding games and kinda just piecing them apart and just like I like
to analyze them.

673
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:19,455
Even though I've never released a game myself, ~ I'm more of like a hobbyist game
developer, but I've d always done this my whole life.

674
00:35:19,455 --> 00:35:33,032
I've I've loved seeing what new game tech does and everything for games, so Far Cry one
was like probably it might have been Far Cry One that started me on this.

675
00:35:37,297 --> 00:35:38,037
Hmm.

676
00:35:38,638 --> 00:35:45,041
Far c yeah, I do I remember when Far Cry One came out and I was like, graphics will never
get better than this.

677
00:35:45,041 --> 00:35:48,903
And I would argue they never should have got better than that.

678
00:35:49,124 --> 00:35:50,564
Not necessary.

679
00:35:52,098 --> 00:35:55,434
Once again, there's a lot of different people that like a lot of different things.

680
00:35:55,434 --> 00:35:56,636
And so yeah.

681
00:35:57,979 --> 00:35:58,638
Yeah.

682
00:35:58,638 --> 00:36:11,169
I feel like the the diminishing returns ~ and the increasing of budget to create higher
fidelity graphics than than far than Far Cry has actually had a net negative effect.

683
00:36:11,169 --> 00:36:17,685
So if you like gaming, then Far Cry's graphics should have been the peak and you never
needed to ask for more than that.

684
00:36:17,685 --> 00:36:22,429
And it's only ever hurt the gaming industry we that's that's my opinion.

685
00:36:22,458 --> 00:36:22,929
Yeah.

686
00:36:22,929 --> 00:36:32,672
I mean I think we're at a comfortable point now where like even lower end like nude lower
end hardware can run like PS four era games at like low settings at like a decent frame

687
00:36:32,672 --> 00:36:32,922
rate.

688
00:36:32,922 --> 00:36:37,773
I think ~ so I think we're at a comfortable point in the graphics department.

689
00:36:37,773 --> 00:36:40,914
~ I mean they're realistically I can't even tell the difference.

690
00:36:40,914 --> 00:36:44,155
I don't even know what a PS six game would look like.

691
00:36:44,155 --> 00:36:52,058
I 'cause I can't fathom what would be more pref I I g like 'cause obviously they're trying
to push realistic graphics, right?

692
00:36:52,058 --> 00:36:52,783
Mm.

693
00:36:52,783 --> 00:36:54,597
I'm trying I'm struggling

694
00:36:54,733 --> 00:36:59,752
I'm struggling to see w what they could do to make it even more realistic looking.

695
00:37:00,059 --> 00:37:00,933
Well ~

696
00:37:00,933 --> 00:37:02,063
there's plenty to do.

697
00:37:02,063 --> 00:37:05,627
It just depends on if it's a re diminishing return, which it it is.

698
00:37:05,627 --> 00:37:06,318
That's why you don't

699
00:37:06,318 --> 00:37:07,399
see it happening as much.

700
00:37:07,399 --> 00:37:08,783
It's a more of a diminishing return.

701
00:37:08,783 --> 00:37:09,711
Yeah, I mean

702
00:37:09,711 --> 00:37:11,202
it's within like here's the problem.

703
00:37:11,202 --> 00:37:21,678
It's like so there is less overhead in terms of like the power that would will be
available to deliver higher fidelity real-time graphics.

704
00:37:21,678 --> 00:37:21,949
Right.

705
00:37:21,949 --> 00:37:27,332
There's just there we just are at a point now where we just can't keep adding to that.

706
00:37:27,332 --> 00:37:30,913
~ in terms of like processing power and whatever.

707
00:37:31,014 --> 00:37:36,593
The other thing is that ~ the cost

708
00:37:36,593 --> 00:37:51,186
for studios and publishers to eat in order to actually create those high the highest
fidelity realistic looking graphics, that's like it it becomes exorbitant to the point

709
00:37:51,186 --> 00:37:52,867
where it's unsustainable, right?

710
00:37:52,867 --> 00:37:54,754
That's kind that's what I was talking about.

711
00:37:54,754 --> 00:37:56,776
lot of gamers have stopped giving a fuck.

712
00:37:56,776 --> 00:37:57,657
If you look at the

713
00:37:57,657 --> 00:38:04,048
if you look at the most popular games in the world right now, none of those are super
realistic.

714
00:38:04,048 --> 00:38:04,562
Right.

715
00:38:04,562 --> 00:38:07,734
I would like none of them are like realistic in any sense of the magic.

716
00:38:07,734 --> 00:38:10,156
Like League of Legends isn't a particularly

717
00:38:10,156 --> 00:38:11,607
realistic looking game.

718
00:38:11,607 --> 00:38:16,670
~ Overwatch, it's highly st yeah, they're highly stylized.

719
00:38:16,971 --> 00:38:20,143
Fortnite is highly stylized.

720
00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:27,055
I think Fortnite's proven too that you can keep on adding fidelity and have a stylized way
of of looking about things.

721
00:38:27,055 --> 00:38:27,705
I think you can.

722
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:30,857
I think some game companies try to go for the maximum realism.

723
00:38:30,857 --> 00:38:38,623
This is the beautiful thing I like about the industry, is that you have game companies
that will go for realism, games that will go for stylized s games will go for kind of a

724
00:38:38,623 --> 00:38:40,544
stylized realism, where I

725
00:38:41,038 --> 00:38:46,312
I think we're all a little different, but for me, I like the pushing the graphics, pushing
everything.

726
00:38:46,312 --> 00:38:49,675
I don't think it needs to push the budget.

727
00:38:49,675 --> 00:38:54,238
More and more they need to find creative ways to stylize things.

728
00:38:54,359 --> 00:38:59,483
Honestly, if it's more realistic, it's gonna probably be using some type of screen
capture.

729
00:38:59,483 --> 00:39:05,728
So what they'll do is they'll ~ they'll the they'll do like cut

730
00:39:05,784 --> 00:39:08,106
Convert a three D object into a mesh, right?

731
00:39:08,106 --> 00:39:08,976
With textures

732
00:39:08,976 --> 00:39:09,296
and everything.

733
00:39:09,296 --> 00:39:15,410
They'll get they'll take pictures and get textures that way of like real ~ objects in the
real world.

734
00:39:15,431 --> 00:39:16,718
Then you can still stylize them.

735
00:39:16,718 --> 00:39:21,055
There's still techniques to do that we could stylize because all that stuff's captured.

736
00:39:21,055 --> 00:39:22,996
It's doesn't have to be more expensive.

737
00:39:22,996 --> 00:39:27,469
It's just I I think there's other reasons for things get becoming ballooning.

738
00:39:27,469 --> 00:39:29,820
I think it's chasing the life service.

739
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,702
Trying to find and be creative and

740
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:35,010
finding a way to make it so that you can make that billion dollar

741
00:39:35,010 --> 00:39:40,913
live service game is what they've been spending their money on more and they might say it
could be other areas, but it's most likely that.

742
00:39:40,913 --> 00:39:42,335
I think that's

743
00:39:42,557 --> 00:39:46,494
purely them chasing profit is why things have gotten more expensive.

744
00:39:47,866 --> 00:39:49,336
yes, that too.

745
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:52,165
It's e everything in our

746
00:39:52,165 --> 00:39:54,731
lives are getting more expensive 'cause they're chasing profit.

747
00:39:54,736 --> 00:39:58,467
Yeah, I'm the I'm the kind of guy over here who's wearing the Earthbound shirt.

748
00:39:58,467 --> 00:40:03,634
~ you know, Chrono Trigger objectively looks like cleaner.

749
00:40:03,995 --> 00:40:09,119
You know, it's a it has a much more defined art style, but I prefer a game like
Earthbound.

750
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:10,840
I don't care about graphics, right?

751
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,182
Like graphics are stupid.

752
00:40:12,182 --> 00:40:14,284
Judging games based on graphics is stupid.

753
00:40:14,284 --> 00:40:18,788
~ so I just want I just want a fun game.

754
00:40:18,788 --> 00:40:19,951
That's what I want.

755
00:40:19,951 --> 00:40:28,699
Honestly, I I growing up I thought that gaming would head towards like I yeah, yeah, more
graph you know, better hardware for like more realism.

756
00:40:28,699 --> 00:40:35,106
But also when I said more realism, I also thought they would like implement more realistic
features to make a game more fun.

757
00:40:35,106 --> 00:40:40,220
Like l let's say let's go back to the old destructible physics ~ argument.

758
00:40:40,701 --> 00:40:40,931
That

759
00:40:40,931 --> 00:40:42,442
would have been cool to see.

760
00:40:42,461 --> 00:40:44,024
But we don't see

761
00:40:44,061 --> 00:40:44,832
did you guys ever

762
00:40:44,832 --> 00:40:48,471
play ~ Red Faction on PS2?

763
00:40:48,471 --> 00:40:50,415
Yeah, destructible environments?

764
00:40:50,415 --> 00:40:51,887
Yeah, yeah.

765
00:40:51,887 --> 00:40:52,690
Yeah, like

766
00:40:52,690 --> 00:40:52,998
love that.

767
00:40:52,998 --> 00:41:01,825
my problem like I would have expect like I would have expected more games to feature like
realistic destructible environments with the amount of processing power we have.

768
00:41:01,825 --> 00:41:10,651
But it seems like like if you look at Teardown and its structural integrity mod, it seems
like even the best hardware like available to consumers right now struggle with that.

769
00:41:11,092 --> 00:41:12,568
Which is unfortunate.

770
00:41:12,568 --> 00:41:14,929
all depends on the technique that you're using for it though.

771
00:41:14,929 --> 00:41:18,130
Cause th a lot of that stuff's pre rendered, pre calculated.

772
00:41:19,110 --> 00:41:24,870
Unreal funny enough, Unreal has some really good physics for teardowns and for
destructible environments.

773
00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:29,583
It's just I don't know why games don't use it more.

774
00:41:29,583 --> 00:41:32,914
I think wh it it can be graphically intense, but not that much.

775
00:41:32,914 --> 00:41:35,895
They're still pre cal ~ calculated, usually when you bake it.

776
00:41:35,895 --> 00:41:40,216
~ it's just it it has a lot more

777
00:41:40,216 --> 00:41:41,517
I think probability to it.

778
00:41:41,517 --> 00:41:45,970
But it I think they just push for more realism.

779
00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:53,676
And if it if you're pushing more higher density mesh and textures, you're going to end up
with issues when you try to have more physics.

780
00:41:53,676 --> 00:41:54,346
And I I agree.

781
00:41:54,346 --> 00:42:04,193
Like when I thought like when I was playing Red Flex faction, I was like, in ten years
we're gonna be I'll be able to dig through the center of the earth and we're not

782
00:42:04,934 --> 00:42:08,386
I wanna I want to in the next Fallout game.

783
00:42:08,729 --> 00:42:10,119
Listen to me, guys.

784
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:11,030
what's their faces?

785
00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:12,550
The ones that picked it up.

786
00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:15,090
I want to level everything.

787
00:42:15,511 --> 00:42:22,569
If I want to just nuke the place, which you can do with little mini nukes, ~ big big boys
or something like that.

788
00:42:22,569 --> 00:42:24,013
I can't remember what it's called.

789
00:42:24,373 --> 00:42:25,833
Because they do have mini nukes in there.

790
00:42:25,833 --> 00:42:26,643
I want it to level.

791
00:42:26,643 --> 00:42:31,285
I want it to actually do environmental damage to all the buildings to where they're
leveled.

792
00:42:31,285 --> 00:42:32,465
That's what we need.

793
00:42:32,465 --> 00:42:32,975
I agree.

794
00:42:32,975 --> 00:42:35,626
Like, I I want more fidelity.

795
00:42:35,626 --> 00:42:36,976
If it's like a

796
00:42:37,730 --> 00:42:39,991
Nathan Drake kind of style game, like Uncharted.

797
00:42:39,991 --> 00:42:41,542
I don't need it.

798
00:42:41,542 --> 00:42:48,226
I don't I like that's a different that's a story base, that's it can go more realistic
stylized, and I think it is a more realistic stylized game.

799
00:42:48,527 --> 00:42:50,368
I don't need that.

800
00:42:50,368 --> 00:43:00,524
But if you're like for these other ones that are like more open world or more based on
destruction, I feel like we've we've lost the plot.

801
00:43:00,524 --> 00:43:03,600
It hasn't gotten much better in 10, 20 years.

802
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,379
Mm.

803
00:43:05,937 --> 00:43:08,616
~ man.

804
00:43:08,616 --> 00:43:12,099
one of those ones where you can fuck up everything in the office, though.

805
00:43:12,099 --> 00:43:16,213
If you play control one, control one even has more destruction than control resonant.

806
00:43:16,213 --> 00:43:22,058
But in control one, if you start racing like either one, if you start running through
things, like papers will fly everywhere.

807
00:43:22,058 --> 00:43:29,585
You can destroy the the everything pretty much everything except for the building itself,
but that there's a whole other reason to why you probably can't destroy the building in

808
00:43:29,585 --> 00:43:29,905
there.

809
00:43:29,905 --> 00:43:31,867
So Yeah.

810
00:43:31,867 --> 00:43:32,701
We can

811
00:43:32,701 --> 00:43:33,092
I'm

812
00:43:33,092 --> 00:43:34,225
I don't know.

813
00:43:34,225 --> 00:43:35,631
We we could be done with this.

814
00:43:35,631 --> 00:43:39,767
I'm just now just romanticizing, I guess, the past.

815
00:43:39,851 --> 00:43:40,605
And we're also

816
00:43:40,605 --> 00:43:42,784
done with physical PS fives too, it seems.

817
00:43:42,784 --> 00:43:45,564
You guys hear about this?

818
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:46,274
Yes.

819
00:43:46,274 --> 00:43:49,143
They're at a hundred percent.

820
00:43:49,491 --> 00:43:52,618
well, for GPU shader instructions,

821
00:43:52,881 --> 00:43:54,745
probably the most important part, honestly.

822
00:43:54,745 --> 00:43:55,854
Yeah yeah yeah.

823
00:43:56,741 --> 00:43:58,031
That's insane.

824
00:43:59,417 --> 00:44:01,050
Well explain what this is.

825
00:44:01,050 --> 00:44:13,541
So basically this is a ~ they call it a quote porting tool, allowing you to essentially
convert PS five executable files into runnable code on Linux or Windows.

826
00:44:14,843 --> 00:44:17,225
Which is kind of insane to me that this can

827
00:44:17,225 --> 00:44:18,166
this can even be done.

828
00:44:18,166 --> 00:44:21,069
Look, it's a tool for automatic executable porting.

829
00:44:23,685 --> 00:44:24,276
That's food.

830
00:44:24,276 --> 00:44:24,817
gotten better

831
00:44:24,817 --> 00:44:30,477
or has AI well actually Some part of us has to be fueled by AI, right?

832
00:44:30,477 --> 00:44:34,924
Like there's no way we've ever seen something like this happen this soon, like

833
00:44:35,810 --> 00:44:36,951
I it's probably is.

834
00:44:36,951 --> 00:44:41,763
AI is really good at reverse engineering and build building systems like this.

835
00:44:41,763 --> 00:44:43,784
This is where AI shines.

836
00:44:43,824 --> 00:44:44,225
Cause

837
00:44:44,225 --> 00:44:47,487
it is it's got tests it can create.

838
00:44:47,487 --> 00:44:51,569
It has ways to say, okay, this is where like I we're gonna dig down.

839
00:44:51,569 --> 00:44:52,289
It's already built.

840
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:56,212
We just need to rebuild it and reverse engineer it, essentially.

841
00:44:56,212 --> 00:44:57,662
They're pretty good at that.

842
00:44:58,201 --> 00:44:59,024
Yeah.

843
00:44:59,642 --> 00:45:01,429
It's nothing creative, by the way.

844
00:45:02,615 --> 00:45:03,486
Right.

845
00:45:03,507 --> 00:45:04,588
Did okay,

846
00:45:04,588 --> 00:45:14,483
so didn't did didn't ~ I read that like you can actually now install PlayStation 5 OS on a
PC?

847
00:45:15,066 --> 00:45:15,295
Think

848
00:45:15,295 --> 00:45:15,609
so.

849
00:45:15,609 --> 00:45:18,251
you can install you can install it in the emulator, yes.

850
00:45:18,251 --> 00:45:23,134
~ you can run the actual like firm the actual like OS on there too.

851
00:45:23,134 --> 00:45:27,126
It even shows a little prompt for like control like plugging your controller in and stuff.

852
00:45:27,126 --> 00:45:29,177
I don't think I've seen very much of it.

853
00:45:29,597 --> 00:45:30,678
And honestly there's no

854
00:45:30,678 --> 00:45:36,881
reason to run the OS on a PC, but it's a cool proof of concept.

855
00:45:36,963 --> 00:45:37,833
Right.

856
00:45:37,854 --> 00:45:38,814
Okay.

857
00:45:39,635 --> 00:45:42,136
This this is this is still pretty cool though.

858
00:45:42,136 --> 00:45:46,538
Doing ~ I mean w w so what's left to do?

859
00:45:46,538 --> 00:45:49,148
I mean it's mostly like system calls.

860
00:45:49,148 --> 00:45:50,121
libraries, yeah.

861
00:45:50,121 --> 00:45:50,722
Yeah.

862
00:45:50,722 --> 00:45:55,311
and even and that's progressed quite nicely, eighty four point five two percent.

863
00:45:55,793 --> 00:45:57,369
As of the writing of this video.

864
00:45:57,369 --> 00:46:00,146
went w went by so fast this last week.

865
00:46:00,146 --> 00:46:05,026
I was watching, I was like, wow, they're at this percentage, and then suddenly it's a
hundred percent like two days ago.

866
00:46:05,628 --> 00:46:06,778
Let's look at compatible

867
00:46:06,778 --> 00:46:07,718
games.

868
00:46:08,359 --> 00:46:09,859
Dreaming Sarah.

869
00:46:10,459 --> 00:46:19,582
Yeah, they've been using this awfully l a lot awful lot for ~ testing, which I mean, to be
clear, this could probably run on a potato PC.

870
00:46:19,582 --> 00:46:24,683
But at the same time though, it's very impressive that they're able to impor they're able
to play any

871
00:46:24,683 --> 00:46:28,244
PS5 game, even if it is just a small indie game.

872
00:46:29,305 --> 00:46:30,538
That you could that

873
00:46:30,671 --> 00:46:35,932
that game w almost looks like knit K N Y T T.

874
00:46:35,932 --> 00:46:37,323
Did you ever play that?

875
00:46:38,135 --> 00:46:39,595
I've heard of it, yes.

876
00:46:39,595 --> 00:46:42,054
I wonder if it's the same studio.

877
00:46:42,054 --> 00:46:42,535
studio.

878
00:46:42,535 --> 00:46:45,148
Knit is on Steam actually.

879
00:46:48,005 --> 00:46:48,690
They just added it.

880
00:46:48,690 --> 00:46:49,314
It's free

881
00:46:49,314 --> 00:46:50,397
on Steam.

882
00:46:52,741 --> 00:46:54,511
N underground is

883
00:46:54,511 --> 00:46:56,784
I've got the original knit.

884
00:46:57,146 --> 00:46:59,068
It does look quite like knit.

885
00:46:59,590 --> 00:47:02,063
And it's yeah, you're right, it's not the same developer.

886
00:47:03,245 --> 00:47:05,907
I dude, I remember when I played the original knit.

887
00:47:05,907 --> 00:47:10,990
~ it was like 2004, my dude.

888
00:47:10,990 --> 00:47:13,742
Like when that came out and I had to install Java to play it.

889
00:47:13,742 --> 00:47:15,313
That was pretty crazy.

890
00:47:16,259 --> 00:47:18,509
Inspired by horror game You made Nikki.

891
00:47:18,509 --> 00:47:21,170
Aw, you made Nikki is what is my jam.

892
00:47:21,170 --> 00:47:22,462
Holy shit.

893
00:47:23,345 --> 00:47:25,169
And it's free on Steam too.

894
00:47:25,169 --> 00:47:27,152
And it's disturbing as fuck.

895
00:47:30,063 --> 00:47:32,234
I think I think James would like this game.

896
00:47:32,515 --> 00:47:34,475
He's a horror aficionado.

897
00:47:34,893 --> 00:47:35,436
~

898
00:47:35,436 --> 00:47:36,322
horror.

899
00:47:36,357 --> 00:47:37,137
It's October

900
00:47:37,137 --> 00:47:39,293
too, which means at some point we gotta

901
00:47:39,293 --> 00:47:42,574
~ make a spooky Halloween episode.

902
00:47:42,574 --> 00:47:43,817
Yeah, you guys gotta g you

903
00:47:43,817 --> 00:47:45,751
gotta pick a a Halloween game or something.

904
00:47:45,751 --> 00:47:48,538
You gotta pick something hor like it doesn't have to be horror, but it be

905
00:47:48,538 --> 00:47:48,979
Ye

906
00:47:48,979 --> 00:47:49,468
something.

907
00:47:49,468 --> 00:47:51,699
dude and the thirty-first is on Saturday.

908
00:47:51,699 --> 00:47:54,480
We'll be recording on Halloween.

909
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:55,721
We gotta make that

910
00:47:55,741 --> 00:47:57,982
we gotta make that extra special, you know?

911
00:47:58,262 --> 00:47:58,572
Hell

912
00:47:58,572 --> 00:47:59,402
yeah.

913
00:48:00,083 --> 00:48:04,924
Alright, well p any PS5 is sick, but you know what's even sicker?

914
00:48:05,385 --> 00:48:06,765
New indie games.

915
00:48:07,229 --> 00:48:07,846
yeah.

916
00:48:07,846 --> 00:48:11,287
So the live stream happened and I missed it.

917
00:48:11,287 --> 00:48:16,009
~ but thankfully they have a website where they just tell us all the announcements they
made.

918
00:48:17,981 --> 00:48:22,246
~ Dave of the Diverks Subnautica two, Macinarium two,

919
00:48:22,246 --> 00:48:29,055
Haunted Paws Zhaohan Mistletome ~ y yeah, let's see.

920
00:48:29,055 --> 00:48:33,490
There's see Ooh, Risk of Rain two DLC.

921
00:48:33,490 --> 00:48:34,820
Gotta pick that up.

922
00:48:37,157 --> 00:48:38,729
lot of interesting sounding games.

923
00:48:38,729 --> 00:48:40,905
I don't know if I'm gonna go over all of them.

924
00:48:42,411 --> 00:48:42,920
But

925
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,351
we're gotten

926
00:48:43,351 --> 00:48:45,763
to that point where there's just so many games.

927
00:48:46,885 --> 00:48:48,337
Y you have to almost judge

928
00:48:48,337 --> 00:48:49,748
by the cover.

929
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,023
~ Pony Island two.

930
00:48:52,023 --> 00:48:54,294
You know, they released Pony Island one for free.

931
00:48:54,294 --> 00:48:57,588
In fact, you can claim it right now.

932
00:48:58,049 --> 00:48:58,669
You have two

933
00:48:58,669 --> 00:48:59,851
days to claim it.

934
00:48:59,851 --> 00:49:07,137
And hopefully I mean it'll be one day by the time you guys get to this ~ podcast, but I
would claim it right now if you can.

935
00:49:07,939 --> 00:49:10,671
This'll be the best deal ~

936
00:49:10,671 --> 00:49:12,584
free games on Steam lately.

937
00:49:13,445 --> 00:49:19,466
Yeah, well, you know, it that's actually a a good way of getting attention 'cause if you a
hundred percent

938
00:49:19,466 --> 00:49:24,023
off your game, then like it gets to the top of charts.

939
00:49:24,591 --> 00:49:25,544
Yeah.

940
00:49:25,714 --> 00:49:26,992
And your next game, especially if you're

941
00:49:26,992 --> 00:49:29,343
gonna be releasing a new game, I could see that.

942
00:49:29,343 --> 00:49:32,047
They're going a different route than the ~ Epic.

943
00:49:32,195 --> 00:49:37,019
Another developer did this too, ~ for ~ Gravity Circuit.

944
00:49:37,019 --> 00:49:39,251
Have you guys have you guys played that?

945
00:49:40,052 --> 00:49:41,694
They did that when they announced their sequel.

946
00:49:41,694 --> 00:49:45,417
This was a like a few a couple of ep months ago I think.

947
00:49:47,855 --> 00:49:49,983
Yeah, ~ it's like Mega Man.

948
00:49:49,983 --> 00:49:51,496
I think you'd like a gardener.

949
00:49:53,455 --> 00:49:54,762
I know Gardner would like Mega Man.

950
00:49:54,762 --> 00:49:58,159
I don't know why he hasn't played it yet, but I feel like Gardner would like Mega Man.

951
00:49:58,159 --> 00:50:04,312
I like platformers but man, I like playing games that are chill and I can just vibe out.

952
00:50:04,996 --> 00:50:06,126
Mega Man's chill.

953
00:50:06,126 --> 00:50:07,330
Or at least Mega Man X.

954
00:50:07,330 --> 00:50:13,002
~

955
00:50:13,002 --> 00:50:13,994
easy mode, dude.

956
00:50:13,994 --> 00:50:15,758
I don't I don't want a challenge.

957
00:50:15,758 --> 00:50:17,289
I just want to have fun.

958
00:50:17,571 --> 00:50:19,246
Okay, that's fair enough.

959
00:50:19,385 --> 00:50:22,153
I played Mega Man as a kid and it was too hard and I think it ruined me.

960
00:50:22,153 --> 00:50:23,607
Even though I like challenging games.

961
00:50:23,607 --> 00:50:24,119
I don't know.

962
00:50:24,119 --> 00:50:26,253
I have to go back and play Mega Man again.

963
00:50:30,605 --> 00:50:31,407
that's got

964
00:50:31,407 --> 00:50:33,471
Expedition 33 stuff in it.

965
00:50:33,693 --> 00:50:34,534
Or is this a th

966
00:50:34,534 --> 00:50:35,317
they announced.

967
00:50:35,317 --> 00:50:39,396
Choose one of the Yeah, 'cause that's that's cool.

968
00:50:39,396 --> 00:50:39,745
this though?

969
00:50:39,745 --> 00:50:44,149
Is this a is this an a lo it's an action rogue, like that's interesting.

970
00:50:44,420 --> 00:50:45,961
they've got Dead Cells guy.

971
00:50:45,961 --> 00:50:48,123
That's

972
00:50:48,123 --> 00:50:48,623
pretty cool.

973
00:50:48,623 --> 00:50:51,135
Actually this Ooh.

974
00:50:51,816 --> 00:50:53,377
It's on sale too.

975
00:50:53,457 --> 00:50:55,098
And I since I have

976
00:50:55,419 --> 00:50:59,913
and since I have Dead Cells, this bundle's even cheaper than just buying the game alone.

977
00:50:59,913 --> 00:51:00,763
Wow,

978
00:51:00,763 --> 00:51:02,905
what a what a neat little life hack.

979
00:51:03,939 --> 00:51:08,770
If you own a game in a bundle, the bundle invariably becomes cheaper than just buying the
game by itself.

980
00:51:11,139 --> 00:51:14,381
there's a lot of games here that you know we might have to explore at some point.

981
00:51:14,381 --> 00:51:16,932
It's cool that all of these games are on Steam though.

982
00:51:17,253 --> 00:51:18,033
Wait, hold

983
00:51:18,033 --> 00:51:18,634
on.

984
00:51:18,634 --> 00:51:23,176
Is that is that local split screen on PC?

985
00:51:23,629 --> 00:51:24,757
What

986
00:51:24,757 --> 00:51:26,058
That we need more of that.

987
00:51:26,058 --> 00:51:27,849
we do need more of that, yes.

988
00:51:27,849 --> 00:51:29,640
Let's

989
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,322
see, it's a challenging action RPG with survival elements.

990
00:51:33,863 --> 00:51:37,995
So is it like Diablo or is it like Valheim?

991
00:51:39,963 --> 00:51:41,517
What's the first one like?

992
00:51:42,925 --> 00:51:46,215
It I mean I don't shit I don't know what this

993
00:51:48,571 --> 00:51:54,469
But yeah, split screen on PC, that's a big prop big props to nine dot studio for doing
this.

994
00:51:55,972 --> 00:51:57,323
No other company would

995
00:51:57,501 --> 00:52:00,945
more games like Steam Machine, you know, great example.

996
00:52:00,945 --> 00:52:01,285
Yeah.

997
00:52:01,285 --> 00:52:05,558
As more hardware becomes more TV oriented for PC gaming, like this is great.

998
00:52:07,096 --> 00:52:12,872
If three four thalos if three four three had a soul, they'd have enabled Halo split screen
on PC.

999
00:52:12,872 --> 00:52:13,997
I'm just saying.

1000
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:15,467
D yeah.

1001
00:52:18,054 --> 00:52:21,462
It's crazy to think that that's the best thing they've ever done for Halo.

1002
00:52:21,462 --> 00:52:23,717
Re-release all these bungy games on PC.

1003
00:52:23,717 --> 00:52:26,353
Let's

1004
00:52:26,353 --> 00:52:26,684
see.

1005
00:52:26,684 --> 00:52:27,906
Alright, well let me

1006
00:52:27,906 --> 00:52:30,534
arc of Halo is now it's on PlayStation.

1007
00:52:30,586 --> 00:52:31,390
Yeah.

1008
00:52:31,902 --> 00:52:33,265
It's so stupid.

1009
00:52:33,432 --> 00:52:33,782
That

1010
00:52:33,782 --> 00:52:40,521
is that's gotta be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, but Ooh ~

1011
00:52:40,758 --> 00:52:41,781
I'm gonna go grab a sweater.

1012
00:52:41,781 --> 00:52:43,294
I'm getting a little chilly.

1013
00:52:43,746 --> 00:52:46,459
is it ~ damn, it's cold in Maine already?

1014
00:52:46,459 --> 00:52:53,747
Dude, it is I I don't know what the temperature is right now, but ~ it is forty-five
degrees.

1015
00:52:53,747 --> 00:52:55,638
So yeah, outside.

1016
00:52:55,659 --> 00:52:56,420
Yeah.

1017
00:52:56,420 --> 00:52:56,670
It's

1018
00:52:56,670 --> 00:52:57,580
chilly.

1019
00:52:58,434 --> 00:53:01,209
The he's f and then there's

1020
00:53:01,209 --> 00:53:01,537
hitting

1021
00:53:01,537 --> 00:53:09,327
f forties and fifties here because there's a hurricane coming in from the Gulf of America,
Mexico.

1022
00:53:10,499 --> 00:53:11,360
I've played this game.

1023
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:17,308
It's like a it's a FPS roguelike sorta deal.

1024
00:53:18,253 --> 00:53:19,794
A little bit of extract

1025
00:53:19,794 --> 00:53:28,047
There's so many games I want to play 'cause it's it's it's it's really hard to do more
hardware based content on YouTube and than have so many games.

1026
00:53:28,047 --> 00:53:30,078
Like how do you I don't know how you balance a high tech.

1027
00:53:30,078 --> 00:53:33,509
Like there's for me, I I often a lot of games I

1028
00:53:33,509 --> 00:53:35,440
like to play are very long.

1029
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,511
Like control resident, I put fifty hours into it.

1030
00:53:38,571 --> 00:53:40,683
But I can't do that very often.

1031
00:53:40,683 --> 00:53:43,214
I don't think you can balance something like that, truth be told.

1032
00:53:43,214 --> 00:53:51,050
I think ~ in most cases you gotta stick I mean in most cases you usually stick with one or
the other.

1033
00:53:51,050 --> 00:54:00,356
Well it's a lot easier to be a gaming focused channel than like occasionally do like one
or two pieces of hardware since like hardware's doesn't come out that often.

1034
00:54:00,356 --> 00:54:01,858
It c yeah, but it's not expensive now.

1035
00:54:01,858 --> 00:54:02,368
expensive.

1036
00:54:02,368 --> 00:54:08,668
If you're if you're not I end up buying most of mine 'cause I'm too like I could get some
more stuff free.

1037
00:54:08,668 --> 00:54:14,992
It's just I'm not consistent with my content and also I I don't know what it

1038
00:54:14,992 --> 00:54:15,169
is.

1039
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:19,283
I like owning it s too without strings attached.

1040
00:54:20,264 --> 00:54:21,795
But yeah.

1041
00:54:21,795 --> 00:54:25,678
truth be told, it's hard to it's hard to balance that stuff.

1042
00:54:25,678 --> 00:54:32,274
Yeah, I mean yeah, you need to you honestly to be a to be a hardware reviewer, you gotta
you have to basically be a full timer on YouTube.

1043
00:54:32,274 --> 00:54:34,426
You've gotta be a full timer.

1044
00:54:34,426 --> 00:54:39,350
You gotta you've gotta be able to make the money too, so you can end up so you can start
buying your own stuff too.

1045
00:54:40,511 --> 00:54:47,137
I and even then, like you if you look at like Rust and Retro Game Cor, great channel by
the way, ~

1046
00:54:47,919 --> 00:54:50,832
It's not very often that he covers individual games.

1047
00:54:50,893 --> 00:54:51,864
He only he

1048
00:54:51,864 --> 00:55:00,915
really only covers like hardware and small games as and like he tends to cover some of the
older games running on those hardware on that hardware too, right?

1049
00:55:00,915 --> 00:55:07,663
Like you'll never see like I'm not gonna like I don't know if he's ever gonna do a game
review on his channel, you know?

1050
00:55:08,548 --> 00:55:09,349
I've done both.

1051
00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:10,909
Both have done well on my channel.

1052
00:55:10,909 --> 00:55:22,196
~ Susie did a the Harry Potter game on ~ Hogwarts that is, on a Steam Deck review and it
did really well.

1053
00:55:22,716 --> 00:55:23,637
But she also beat

1054
00:55:23,637 --> 00:55:25,376
that game four times.

1055
00:55:26,458 --> 00:55:26,949
Cause she had

1056
00:55:26,949 --> 00:55:28,519
to play each house

1057
00:55:29,527 --> 00:55:33,504
Well, you know I will trust her opinion on it.

1058
00:55:33,870 --> 00:55:35,285
Yeah, I was too.

1059
00:55:35,285 --> 00:55:36,148
She loved it.

1060
00:55:36,148 --> 00:55:39,296
Well, may may maybe she likes it too much, I don't know.

1061
00:55:39,344 --> 00:55:41,145
here's my question though, would you trust

1062
00:55:41,145 --> 00:55:43,828
Sean Leyden on his thoughts on a PlayStation?

1063
00:55:43,828 --> 00:55:46,649
Former ex former PlayStation boss?

1064
00:55:47,230 --> 00:55:51,133
He questions whether or not graphics can sell a thousand dollar console.

1065
00:55:53,411 --> 00:55:54,321
Yes.

1066
00:55:54,941 --> 00:55:56,542
Depends on what they're trying to go for.

1067
00:55:56,542 --> 00:56:00,933
I mean PS I from my understanding the PS5 didn't do as well as the PS4 and and earlier.

1068
00:56:00,933 --> 00:56:02,913
Like I I f I could be wrong on that.

1069
00:56:02,913 --> 00:56:04,884
I just don't know if it pushed as many.

1070
00:56:04,884 --> 00:56:17,177
But like if they feel like they're not gonna make as much from releasing new so ~ th ~
hardware, then they're gonna need to up the price and they'll I could people are still

1071
00:56:17,177 --> 00:56:19,868
there's there's so many people that will spend that much.

1072
00:56:19,868 --> 00:56:21,465
I just we'll see.

1073
00:56:21,465 --> 00:56:22,345
Mm.

1074
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:23,681
Ugh.

1075
00:56:24,824 --> 00:56:29,934
I the PS I don't ~ you guys don't even have it.

1076
00:56:29,934 --> 00:56:33,070
Like high tech, you don't do you have a h PS five?

1077
00:56:33,389 --> 00:56:35,878
I do a hacked PS five in fact.

1078
00:56:35,878 --> 00:56:37,188
right, that's right.

1079
00:56:37,229 --> 00:56:39,811
So Sony, he has a hacked no.

1080
00:56:40,332 --> 00:56:41,646
So when they go so

1081
00:56:41,646 --> 00:56:42,510
on me.

1082
00:56:42,854 --> 00:56:43,994
You're the one that said it.

1083
00:56:43,994 --> 00:56:45,475
~ no.

1084
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:51,490
I I I wish at times, but at the same time I'd rather have my Steam Machine beat my PS5.

1085
00:56:51,490 --> 00:56:54,713
So I'm hoping the Steam Machine

1086
00:56:54,713 --> 00:56:59,226
kinda like all these decompiling and everything becomes more prevalent.

1087
00:56:59,647 --> 00:57:01,188
So I don't have to get the PS6.

1088
00:57:01,188 --> 00:57:03,831
they're gonna decompile Grand Theft Auto Six.

1089
00:57:03,831 --> 00:57:10,926
And Rockstar's gonna escalate their plans to They're gonna escalate their plans to r run

1090
00:57:10,926 --> 00:57:11,196
With

1091
00:57:11,196 --> 00:57:19,356
AI and with everything going on, they're gonna spend more money probably preventing people
from just owning the game than they will on marketing.

1092
00:57:19,356 --> 00:57:20,350
They'll probably lose

1093
00:57:20,350 --> 00:57:26,983
so much money for no real reason except for control over their IP, which I I get it, I
guess.

1094
00:57:26,983 --> 00:57:27,904
I don't know.

1095
00:57:27,904 --> 00:57:28,642
It's

1096
00:57:28,642 --> 00:57:32,644
they're gonna make GTA online before like the real GT online comes out.

1097
00:57:32,644 --> 00:57:36,026
It's gonna be like GTA fours online where you it's just

1098
00:57:36,026 --> 00:57:42,989
you joining a lobby and just messing around in the world and not doing like not grinding
money for like shit.

1099
00:57:44,121 --> 00:57:45,454
Why would they do that?

1100
00:57:46,137 --> 00:57:48,960
No, I'm not saying I'm not saying Rockstar.

1101
00:57:49,001 --> 00:57:50,321
I'm saying

1102
00:57:50,602 --> 00:57:51,803
developers.

1103
00:57:51,884 --> 00:57:54,717
Like independent like ~ like independent

1104
00:57:54,717 --> 00:57:56,226
like people.

1105
00:57:56,226 --> 00:58:00,811
Dude, they're gonna make a GTA private server that's actually fun to fucking play.

1106
00:58:01,670 --> 00:58:02,936
dude, we should do that.

1107
00:58:03,295 --> 00:58:04,847
Dude, I would totally do that.

1108
00:58:04,847 --> 00:58:05,759
I would do that

1109
00:58:05,759 --> 00:58:07,961
just to piss off Rockstar.

1110
00:58:08,366 --> 00:58:09,560
Run it on your steam machine.

1111
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,809
Dude, we should run all of our steam machines.

1112
00:58:12,809 --> 00:58:18,155
and then I would call that civil disobedience, occupying spaces that you're not supposed
to.

1113
00:58:18,528 --> 00:58:19,209
As the Rockstar

1114
00:58:19,209 --> 00:58:21,492
breaks down your door, just guns you down.

1115
00:58:21,532 --> 00:58:23,185
yeah, they'd sick ice on you.

1116
00:58:23,577 --> 00:58:24,417
Yeah.

1117
00:58:25,019 --> 00:58:25,810
Garner Garner

1118
00:58:25,810 --> 00:58:28,423
got deported, I don't know where, but he's gone.

1119
00:58:28,923 --> 00:58:30,878
They're deporting to Alaska.

1120
00:58:31,290 --> 00:58:32,942
Nicaragua or something.

1121
00:58:32,942 --> 00:58:33,592
it.

1122
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:34,141
Yeah,

1123
00:58:34,141 --> 00:58:35,283
exactly.

1124
00:58:37,251 --> 00:58:45,432
But yeah, we don't know how much the PS five I mean PS six or Xbox Helix will cost.

1125
00:58:45,713 --> 00:58:46,134
Thousand

1126
00:58:46,134 --> 00:58:47,536
dollars sounds like a pretty good guess, right?

1127
00:58:47,536 --> 00:58:48,687
Let's let's get on record right now.

1128
00:58:48,687 --> 00:58:51,515
How much do guys think the next gen consoles will be?

1129
00:58:51,515 --> 00:58:52,616
Twelve hundred.

1130
00:58:53,781 --> 00:58:54,988
I think base

1131
00:58:54,988 --> 00:58:55,677
a thousand.

1132
00:58:55,677 --> 00:58:58,749
I'm gonna say fifteen hundred.

1133
00:58:59,185 --> 00:58:59,854
There you go.

1134
00:58:59,854 --> 00:59:00,325
There we go.

1135
00:59:00,325 --> 00:59:00,851
Now we have a

1136
00:59:00,851 --> 00:59:01,732
gonna go up there.

1137
00:59:01,732 --> 00:59:05,749
I think they're gonna have the version that they want people to buy at like twelve to
fifteen.

1138
00:59:05,890 --> 00:59:13,744
But I think just looking at how ~ Valve did their stuff, how things are going.

1139
00:59:15,458 --> 00:59:21,153
I think a nice even, you know, 999 will probably be what the base is, but we'll see.

1140
00:59:21,153 --> 00:59:23,016
Ugh.

1141
00:59:23,016 --> 00:59:24,168
do nine hundred ninety nine.

1142
00:59:24,168 --> 00:59:27,114
I get that it's only like forty nine dollars.

1143
00:59:28,018 --> 00:59:29,219
Less than what the

1144
00:59:29,219 --> 00:59:30,551
Valve and their stupidity.

1145
00:59:30,551 --> 00:59:33,114
~ People get

1146
00:59:33,114 --> 00:59:33,574
mad at me.

1147
00:59:33,574 --> 00:59:35,747
They're like, well, no, Valve, they can't afford that.

1148
00:59:35,747 --> 00:59:36,858
They're they're poppers.

1149
00:59:36,858 --> 00:59:38,450
They can't afford to make it a little cheaper.

1150
00:59:38,450 --> 00:59:41,904
If we if they subsidize them for some reason they'll go bankrupt.

1151
00:59:41,904 --> 00:59:42,725
It's

1152
00:59:43,385 --> 00:59:44,947
Like, here's my thing though, I w at

1153
00:59:44,947 --> 00:59:49,653
the very least I would have expected Valve to hit a nine hundred and ninety nine dollar
value.

1154
00:59:49,653 --> 00:59:55,100
Like, objectively speaking, it's not that much cheaper, but the optics look better.

1155
00:59:55,842 --> 00:59:58,145
And no it's I know it's a psychology trick, but still.

1156
00:59:58,145 --> 00:59:58,775
point.

1157
00:59:58,775 --> 01:00:05,150
Because they're selling the ergonomic hit with the steam frame for f what $60?

1158
01:00:05,150 --> 01:00:07,742
Where I guarantee to make it's like a couple of bucks.

1159
01:00:07,742 --> 01:00:08,522
Like

1160
01:00:09,306 --> 01:00:11,224
You could probably buy on Amazon, truth be told.

1161
01:00:11,224 --> 01:00:14,266
you can you can you can buy repla don't get me wrong, okay?

1162
01:00:14,266 --> 01:00:16,998
You can buy other versions from my understanding.

1163
01:00:16,998 --> 01:00:21,892
You can get other ergonomic hits, they're not quite as good, but I don't care.

1164
01:00:21,892 --> 01:00:22,712
Like

1165
01:00:23,716 --> 01:00:26,418
This is we this isn't shidification from Valve.

1166
01:00:26,418 --> 01:00:28,460
This isn't shittifying everything.

1167
01:00:28,741 --> 01:00:30,802
Like this is crazy.

1168
01:00:30,883 --> 01:00:39,190
The standard that like the Valve index had is not applied to the V ~ the the frame.

1169
01:00:39,569 --> 01:00:39,996
Mm-hmm.

1170
01:00:39,996 --> 01:00:46,116
I y you just lose me when they could have included it for and not lost any money, in my
opinion.

1171
01:00:46,777 --> 01:00:48,289
Man, I don't know

1172
01:00:48,289 --> 01:00:49,180
man.

1173
01:00:49,180 --> 01:00:53,545
We've it's some it's some real shit happening here.

1174
01:00:54,149 --> 01:00:55,002
Yeah.

1175
01:00:56,515 --> 01:01:01,200
and speaking of Valve, let's talk about the ~ Steam hardware survey.

1176
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,985
Ooh, look, Steam dude, look, Steam Deck HQ has a new redesigned website.

1177
01:01:06,178 --> 01:01:08,035
That looks ~ nicer.

1178
01:01:08,035 --> 01:01:09,725
It does look a lot nicer.

1179
01:01:09,725 --> 01:01:14,689
I do kind of miss the colored background, since it looks like the background is just all
black.

1180
01:01:15,270 --> 01:01:18,471
But I like the design.

1181
01:01:19,593 --> 01:01:20,473
Well

1182
01:01:20,573 --> 01:01:25,176
Well that that's every color if you've like had that set for too long.

1183
01:01:26,237 --> 01:01:27,577
But anyways.

1184
01:01:28,578 --> 01:01:32,981
They're reporting on the Steam Hardware Survey, and they note that.

1185
01:01:33,231 --> 01:01:40,150
Windows saw an increase whereas Linux saw a decrease, but they also know that Chinese went
up whereas English went down.

1186
01:01:41,313 --> 01:01:44,207
And so I'm wondering if there's some shenanigans.

1187
01:01:44,207 --> 01:01:47,081
They're wondering if there's some shenanigans happening here.

1188
01:01:49,718 --> 01:02:00,327
less Americans and English speakers have time to play 'cause they're w having to work more
and more and I think Chinese ~ people are having while they were overworked might be

1189
01:02:00,327 --> 01:02:01,988
having more time to play.

1190
01:02:02,409 --> 01:02:08,637
Could be a a little bit of a because there's some also studies out there that just people
are becoming more exhausted.

1191
01:02:08,637 --> 01:02:15,480
~ I think like seventy percent of Americans are over ~ they at least self report.

1192
01:02:15,662 --> 01:02:20,076
feeling overworked, overcome by how much work that they're required to do.

1193
01:02:20,076 --> 01:02:20,460
So

1194
01:02:20,460 --> 01:02:21,367
Mm-hmm.

1195
01:02:21,367 --> 01:02:22,257
Hmm.

1196
01:02:22,518 --> 01:02:23,399
So

1197
01:02:23,399 --> 01:02:24,801
decreasing some of this.

1198
01:02:24,801 --> 01:02:26,542
So So yes.

1199
01:02:26,803 --> 01:02:30,136
Chinese went up a staggering seven point four two percent.

1200
01:02:30,136 --> 01:02:31,567
Simplified Chinese.

1201
01:02:32,108 --> 01:02:34,651
And English went down four percent.

1202
01:02:34,651 --> 01:02:35,613
Yeah.

1203
01:02:36,052 --> 01:02:37,423
Which is a lot.

1204
01:02:37,678 --> 01:02:38,539
That is a lot.

1205
01:02:38,539 --> 01:02:41,824
~ the Chinese one could be a balancing too.

1206
01:02:41,824 --> 01:02:44,148
Like did there was there some more games released?

1207
01:02:44,148 --> 01:02:50,066
Is cause I ~ sti is Steam banned in in China?

1208
01:02:50,268 --> 01:02:50,428
I

1209
01:02:50,428 --> 01:02:53,413
thought it wa I thought at least a version of it was, no

1210
01:02:53,413 --> 01:02:57,956
There technically there's a Chinese version of Steam called Steam China.

1211
01:02:58,076 --> 01:02:59,117
But then but then

1212
01:02:59,117 --> 01:03:01,959
everyone just uses the regular version of Steam somehow.

1213
01:03:01,959 --> 01:03:05,141
I don't know how I don't know how the optics work out, truth be told.

1214
01:03:06,287 --> 01:03:07,097
Yeah.

1215
01:03:07,097 --> 01:03:09,609
Here so ~

1216
01:03:09,609 --> 01:03:13,881
you gotta also keep in mind that like this is all relative, right?

1217
01:03:13,881 --> 01:03:23,065
So like when the when the Chinese in language ~ increases, that's relative to y other
users.

1218
01:03:23,065 --> 01:03:25,526
So like our other languages.

1219
01:03:25,526 --> 01:03:36,111
So it's like when if it went up seven percent, that could just be like a surge of of
Chinese users ~ because of a new game release or or whatever.

1220
01:03:36,251 --> 01:03:48,159
doesn't mean that other users fell or if they did, you know, English speakers f stop
played less, then that could that would like change the simplified Chinese reporting as

1221
01:03:48,159 --> 01:03:48,959
well.

1222
01:03:48,959 --> 01:04:02,268
So ~ it I I find I I like these numbers, it's cool to see, but the problem is ~ we don't
have absolute values and so it's really hard to compare them to previous months.

1223
01:04:02,268 --> 01:04:03,689
~

1224
01:04:04,133 --> 01:04:06,585
without having like absolute values attached to them.

1225
01:04:06,585 --> 01:04:07,777
'Cause they just

1226
01:04:07,777 --> 01:04:12,160
they're they're not they don't really paint a complete picture, I feel.

1227
01:04:12,367 --> 01:04:16,785
Right, not to mention, ~ Valve doesn't send these out to everyone.

1228
01:04:16,785 --> 01:04:17,285
They didn't

1229
01:04:17,285 --> 01:04:20,610
send me they didn't send this out to me this month.

1230
01:04:21,352 --> 01:04:21,732
And

1231
01:04:21,732 --> 01:04:23,022
Yeah, actually I don't know if

1232
01:04:23,022 --> 01:04:23,951
I got one.

1233
01:04:23,951 --> 01:04:25,051
I didn't get one.

1234
01:04:25,051 --> 01:04:36,957
~ and I think v there's like there's a lot of like potential for sampling errors because
they get sent out randomly but you know, there's no like quality control perhaps.

1235
01:04:36,957 --> 01:04:43,050
I I I don't know what they do to ensure like statistical randomness when they're

1236
01:04:43,050 --> 01:04:44,055
collecting this data.

1237
01:04:44,055 --> 01:04:45,557
true.

1238
01:04:45,557 --> 01:04:49,263
Statistics require like your sample size

1239
01:04:49,263 --> 01:04:52,908
and your sampling is the most important thing when it comes to statistics.

1240
01:04:53,071 --> 01:05:01,964
Alright, so I'm gonna be I'm gonna be this is a bit of a controversial take, but I think
Valve should just send this out to everyone.

1241
01:05:01,964 --> 01:05:03,304
Every month.

1242
01:05:03,304 --> 01:05:04,554
Yeah, and keep it optional,

1243
01:05:04,554 --> 01:05:05,345
yes.

1244
01:05:05,345 --> 01:05:08,846
opt out if you don't want it want it, but ask it every month.

1245
01:05:08,846 --> 01:05:12,056
That way people that actually want to partake in this get the emails.

1246
01:05:12,056 --> 01:05:15,367
'Cause you know, I wouldn't mind giving ~ like I alright, alright.

1247
01:05:15,367 --> 01:05:16,458
Valve gets a lot of shit from us.

1248
01:05:16,458 --> 01:05:20,334
They actually got a lot of shit from us th th this week, but I I

1249
01:05:20,334 --> 01:05:20,915
gonna get shit from

1250
01:05:20,915 --> 01:05:22,576
me until they correct themselves.

1251
01:05:22,576 --> 01:05:23,667
I'm just gonna say that.

1252
01:05:23,667 --> 01:05:24,228
And I

1253
01:05:24,228 --> 01:05:24,968
think they can.

1254
01:05:24,968 --> 01:05:26,109
I'm sorry.

1255
01:05:27,010 --> 01:05:32,395
I love them still, but they're gonna get shit from me.

1256
01:05:32,836 --> 01:05:33,407
Cause I love them.

1257
01:05:33,407 --> 01:05:41,141
but I think I would trust them more with the I still trust them a lot more with like the
specs of my PC than any other company, truth be told.

1258
01:05:41,821 --> 01:05:44,782
Especially since they make all of this they make it

1259
01:05:44,782 --> 01:05:46,893
they make it transparent, ~ what they're doing.

1260
01:05:46,893 --> 01:05:51,896
They're taking information on our PCs and trying to figure out what the average PC looks
like.

1261
01:05:51,896 --> 01:05:57,848
So this is what the average PC in twenty twenty six looks like.

1262
01:05:58,028 --> 01:05:59,909
It's got Windows eleven.

1263
01:06:00,225 --> 01:06:05,551
And let's see, wit you see Linux did go down a little bit, Windows went up a little bit,
obviously.

1264
01:06:05,551 --> 01:06:17,941
keep in mind when when ~ the Chinese language has a a surge like this, which it does with
a few times a year, Windows usage also spikes because they don't really use Linux in

1265
01:06:17,941 --> 01:06:18,587
China.

1266
01:06:18,587 --> 01:06:20,048
Well, that makes sense, especially

1267
01:06:20,048 --> 01:06:25,643
since the most since they play a lot of the most popular games that don't run on Linux.

1268
01:06:25,964 --> 01:06:35,483
Now if now if China were to implement their plan of abandoning Windows altogether, I
promise you all of those games that don't work on Linux will work will will start to work

1269
01:06:35,483 --> 01:06:36,473
on Linux.

1270
01:06:37,314 --> 01:06:40,497
Cause losing the Chinese audience is a massive deal.

1271
01:06:41,624 --> 01:06:45,168
I think w I think Microso like Windows is doomed.

1272
01:06:45,309 --> 01:06:53,680
I think I think they less or they rested their laurels on and they overplayed themselves
on Windows eleven and I think it it's doomed.

1273
01:06:53,680 --> 01:07:00,067
I think it's gonna be a this is about as good as it's gonna get and I think it's gonna go
downhill from here.

1274
01:07:00,185 --> 01:07:01,026
Yeah.

1275
01:07:01,026 --> 01:07:06,489
So, ~ if we're looking at this, so Windows 11, 32 gigs is the norm now.

1276
01:07:07,049 --> 01:07:10,452
And it's actually gone up since then, despite RAM prices going up.

1277
01:07:10,452 --> 01:07:14,145
But I guess that's probably because people are able to get them used or something, I don't
know.

1278
01:07:14,145 --> 01:07:16,115
~ CPU speeds.

1279
01:07:17,136 --> 01:07:17,666
Yeah, whatever.

1280
01:07:17,666 --> 01:07:20,477
~ eight eight core CPUs.

1281
01:07:21,038 --> 01:07:21,568
Yeah, whatever.

1282
01:07:21,568 --> 01:07:22,499
~

1283
01:07:22,499 --> 01:07:25,981
the most popular GPU though is the 5070.

1284
01:07:26,678 --> 01:07:27,950
Interesting.

1285
01:07:29,294 --> 01:07:30,416
Not a bad

1286
01:07:30,416 --> 01:07:32,590
card though, actually.

1287
01:07:32,769 --> 01:07:33,581
Absolutely.

1288
01:07:33,581 --> 01:07:37,575
Like the next popular one is the fifty sixty, I think.

1289
01:07:37,575 --> 01:07:49,738
sixties, fifty seventies are probably the most popular and the I hate to say it, but it's
the one like if you really care about and just n nothing except for pure performance w for

1290
01:07:49,738 --> 01:07:53,852
your c for your price, like that those are the best cards.

1291
01:07:56,141 --> 01:08:06,096
I I do like A AMD more in the sense of like them as a company and that's it's also kinda
getting into a gray area of where like I don't know if any of these companies are worth

1292
01:08:06,958 --> 01:08:07,579
saying one's

1293
01:08:07,579 --> 01:08:09,140
good or the other, but

1294
01:08:09,487 --> 01:08:10,358
Yeah.

1295
01:08:10,459 --> 01:08:11,845
Dude the ninety seventy

1296
01:08:11,845 --> 01:08:12,688
XT

1297
01:08:13,645 --> 01:08:15,666
one percent, one point three.

1298
01:08:15,666 --> 01:08:18,206
In fact, let's see what the ninety seventy is at.

1299
01:08:19,407 --> 01:08:24,549
The regular ninety seventy is at a staggering zero point two percent of the population.

1300
01:08:24,930 --> 01:08:27,851
So a lot more people are getting higher end hardware.

1301
01:08:28,691 --> 01:08:28,962
Or

1302
01:08:28,962 --> 01:08:32,292
~ or you know, getting the slightly lesser end

1303
01:08:32,292 --> 01:08:33,084
eighties actually.

1304
01:08:33,084 --> 01:08:34,136
Fifty seventies.

1305
01:08:34,136 --> 01:08:37,139
Yeah, I mean fifty six seventies, fifty sixty.

1306
01:08:37,139 --> 01:08:39,281
Forty sixty that is, there's a lot, yeah.

1307
01:08:39,903 --> 01:08:41,494
Where's thirty ninety at?

1308
01:08:45,037 --> 01:08:46,383
Zero point two?

1309
01:08:46,383 --> 01:08:47,749
Where's forty ninety at?

1310
01:08:47,749 --> 01:08:49,222
I don't even play it though.

1311
01:08:49,962 --> 01:08:51,401
The word's a fifty ninety yet.

1312
01:08:51,401 --> 01:08:53,551
Let's see how many Wow.

1313
01:08:53,634 --> 01:08:54,626
Zero point three eight.

1314
01:08:54,626 --> 01:08:55,620
How surprising.

1315
01:08:55,620 --> 01:08:57,464
I thought no one would have them.

1316
01:08:57,689 --> 01:09:01,698
I think the they're talking about discontinuing the fifty ninety, so

1317
01:09:02,115 --> 01:09:03,000
I've heard that too.

1318
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,527
I've heard they're discontinuing in favor of making more AI cards.

1319
01:09:06,978 --> 01:09:09,673
AI cards but also more professional cards.

1320
01:09:09,835 --> 01:09:10,878
So that would

1321
01:09:10,878 --> 01:09:15,638
that could be used for game development or for AI, but most likely AI, but

1322
01:09:16,141 --> 01:09:23,389
So yeah, actually my brother and I are looking to upgrade our GPUs since he has a twenty
eighty super and I have a thirty seventy.

1323
01:09:24,051 --> 01:09:28,016
And we've been having a hard time finding GPUs at a good price.

1324
01:09:28,016 --> 01:09:29,418
For obvious reasons.

1325
01:09:29,418 --> 01:09:32,509
I have the ninety seventy XT and it is fabulous.

1326
01:09:32,509 --> 01:09:33,570
I love it.

1327
01:09:33,614 --> 01:09:36,831
I have the ninety sixty XT and it's pretty good.

1328
01:09:36,873 --> 01:09:38,638
Like Susie is not

1329
01:09:38,638 --> 01:09:39,799
complained about it.

1330
01:09:39,872 --> 01:09:45,937
it's between the ninety seventy XT ~ and the fifty seventy Ti.

1331
01:09:46,939 --> 01:09:47,734
That's basically it.

1332
01:09:47,734 --> 01:09:51,163
I don't feel like getting a fifty eighty because it's like over a thousand dollars.

1333
01:09:51,744 --> 01:09:53,105
Well then again

1334
01:09:54,744 --> 01:09:58,684
Depending on if you're doing SteamOS should be getting their Nvidia drivers out soon.

1335
01:09:58,684 --> 01:10:03,694
I would be really I'd just push it off until those come out and get the fifty seventy Ti.

1336
01:10:04,284 --> 01:10:05,435
Fair enough.

1337
01:10:05,477 --> 01:10:06,018
let's see what else.

1338
01:10:06,018 --> 01:10:09,331
We've got V RAM, sixteen gigs is the standard.

1339
01:10:09,331 --> 01:10:11,075
That's crazy.

1340
01:10:11,375 --> 01:10:13,657
What what has f sixteen gigs of V RAM though?

1341
01:10:13,657 --> 01:10:14,470
Let me see.

1342
01:10:14,470 --> 01:10:16,932
much lower in like a year or two ago.

1343
01:10:17,029 --> 01:10:19,887
The ninety seventy XT has sixteen gigs.

1344
01:10:19,887 --> 01:10:20,779
Yeah.

1345
01:10:20,923 --> 01:10:22,149
Ooh, that is a good one.

1346
01:10:22,149 --> 01:10:24,730
Does the 5070 have 16 gigs?

1347
01:10:24,730 --> 01:10:25,061
I don't

1348
01:10:25,061 --> 01:10:25,592
think so.

1349
01:10:25,592 --> 01:10:27,210
I thought I had like twelve.

1350
01:10:27,210 --> 01:10:27,606
yeah.

1351
01:10:27,606 --> 01:10:28,408
That's what I'm like

1352
01:10:28,408 --> 01:10:30,751
shocked by that being so high.

1353
01:10:32,273 --> 01:10:37,244
Alright, so the fifty seventy T I has sixteen gigs, the

1354
01:10:37,587 --> 01:10:39,431
the fifty seventy has twelve.

1355
01:10:39,431 --> 01:10:41,611
So yeah, that's but

1356
01:10:41,611 --> 01:10:43,094
for the fifty seventy TI.

1357
01:10:44,163 --> 01:10:44,957
Yeah.

1358
01:10:44,957 --> 01:10:46,093
If I could yeah, if

1359
01:10:46,093 --> 01:10:48,151
if if I can find it that is.

1360
01:10:48,151 --> 01:10:49,667
That's the hard part too.

1361
01:10:49,667 --> 01:10:55,141
Steam Machine had a a USB four port so I could, you know, put my thirty ninety onto it.

1362
01:10:55,782 --> 01:11:00,150
It really another I don't want I

1363
01:11:00,150 --> 01:11:01,306
guess I could.

1364
01:11:01,306 --> 01:11:04,648
I don't want to because you can do like a hybrid solution with that.

1365
01:11:05,309 --> 01:11:10,852
Once again, I think Valve needs to go back to the the board and and figure out what
they're doing.

1366
01:11:11,053 --> 01:11:13,436
Cause they there's one USB C on there.

1367
01:11:13,436 --> 01:11:15,876
~ there's no audio port by the way.

1368
01:11:16,526 --> 01:11:27,592
That's another complaint that I've got is that with the Steam Machine is that I had to go
buy a USB A to ~ three point five jack to to have headphones on it.

1369
01:11:27,592 --> 01:11:28,462
Yeah.

1370
01:11:29,883 --> 01:11:31,264
It's really like

1371
01:11:31,264 --> 01:11:34,166
the more I use the Steam Machine, the more I'm like, this thing's awesome.

1372
01:11:34,166 --> 01:11:39,118
They really those things are s are dirt cheap to add.

1373
01:11:39,412 --> 01:11:40,181
Mm.

1374
01:11:40,884 --> 01:11:41,944
I don't know.

1375
01:11:42,385 --> 01:11:43,615
At least add it to the controller.

1376
01:11:43,615 --> 01:11:44,316
That's another thing.

1377
01:11:44,316 --> 01:11:51,469
Like a 3.5 jack to the controller would have been made the controller like almost perfect
for me.

1378
01:11:52,290 --> 01:11:56,072
Cause then I went I use it on the PS5.

1379
01:11:56,275 --> 01:11:59,739
we should talk about our wish list for the Steam Machine 2 at some point.

1380
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:00,380
Maybe

1381
01:12:00,380 --> 01:12:02,643
closer to the Steam Machine 2's release.

1382
01:12:02,643 --> 01:12:10,813
Cause remember Valve did say that they are they will probably be releasing Steam Machine 2
revisions faster than Steam Deck 2 revisions.

1383
01:12:11,301 --> 01:12:12,382
Yeah, I could see that.

1384
01:12:12,382 --> 01:12:15,323
Especially since th they don't have to worry about the battery.

1385
01:12:15,323 --> 01:12:18,685
They don't have worry about it is essentially just a P like a mini PC.

1386
01:12:18,685 --> 01:12:19,666
So they don't have to worry

1387
01:12:19,666 --> 01:12:20,173
about as

1388
01:12:20,173 --> 01:12:21,567
nearly as much.

1389
01:12:21,567 --> 01:12:29,441
And they can ja they could probably have a lot more thermodynamics to to deal with to eke
out a lot more performance if they optimize it.

1390
01:12:29,441 --> 01:12:30,074
Hm.

1391
01:12:30,074 --> 01:12:33,819
mean like ninety percent of the chassis is just cooling.

1392
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:34,521
Like they could

1393
01:12:34,521 --> 01:12:38,169
probably do a lot more in terms of h horsepower in there.

1394
01:12:38,169 --> 01:12:46,895
And not even just putting in better hardware, but they could like they could probably push
up more power onto the device too, 'cause it's I from what I understand it's actually

1395
01:12:46,895 --> 01:12:49,489
pretty underclocked compared to what it should be.

1396
01:12:49,826 --> 01:12:53,925
It it runs pretty like I've not had much issues with this thing.

1397
01:12:53,925 --> 01:12:58,691
And I've I've probably put three hundred hours at least of it running.

1398
01:12:58,691 --> 01:13:01,684
not I would not mind overclocking mine.

1399
01:13:01,684 --> 01:13:06,709
If they ever if someone ever figures out how to overclock it, I would do that in a
heartbeat.

1400
01:13:06,888 --> 01:13:10,775
~ I think the VRAM is one of my limiters on it.

1401
01:13:11,589 --> 01:13:12,180
That is true.

1402
01:13:12,180 --> 01:13:16,334
Hey, don't worry, someone's gonna solder in sixteen gigs of V RAM onto it.

1403
01:13:16,334 --> 01:13:19,497
But like I don't know if

1404
01:13:20,096 --> 01:13:30,327
And I'm it V RAM is the limiter, but it's only like w you only need an extra two or or
prob honestly twelve would have been ~ I don't know.

1405
01:13:30,428 --> 01:13:33,872
Might have even been overkill 'cause it's just they gotta get that balance in.

1406
01:13:34,605 --> 01:13:35,046
I don't know.

1407
01:13:35,046 --> 01:13:40,782
We'll we'll we'll talk about this more when the Steam Machine 2 ~ like looms over the
horizon.

1408
01:13:41,587 --> 01:13:42,069
But

1409
01:13:42,069 --> 01:13:42,400
be fun.

1410
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:48,029
That would be a r we should do that for an evergreen ~ bonus episode next time.

1411
01:13:48,029 --> 01:13:48,914
That'd be fun.

1412
01:13:48,914 --> 01:13:52,297
So what's causing people to not switch over to Linux?

1413
01:13:52,297 --> 01:13:55,963
I would say one of the biggest reasons is the Adobe Creative Cloud.

1414
01:13:55,963 --> 01:13:56,721
Mm.

1415
01:13:56,962 --> 01:13:59,424
Maybe I hate them so much.

1416
01:13:59,424 --> 01:13:59,854
this

1417
01:13:59,854 --> 01:14:00,236
point,

1418
01:14:00,236 --> 01:14:03,689
yeah, but ~

1419
01:14:03,770 --> 01:14:06,931
So this is kind of an interesting little project.

1420
01:14:06,931 --> 01:14:12,692
~ essentially this is ~ someone effectively recreated the entire creative suite.

1421
01:14:13,672 --> 01:14:25,084
They it's not quite 100% parody with the actual deal, but someone's in the process of
doing so, and it's it's insane, to say the least.

1422
01:14:25,084 --> 01:14:26,731
all like open sourced?

1423
01:14:26,956 --> 01:14:28,686
It is all open source.

1424
01:14:28,686 --> 01:14:31,176
The problem is whether or not this is even legal.

1425
01:14:32,297 --> 01:14:32,714
It was

1426
01:14:32,714 --> 01:14:33,594
legal on this.

1427
01:14:33,594 --> 01:14:34,394
Like he's

1428
01:14:34,394 --> 01:14:35,095
open sourcing,

1429
01:14:35,095 --> 01:14:36,715
he's not making a profit off of it.

1430
01:14:36,715 --> 01:14:42,128
~ Adobe's like have you ever do you guys have you ever paid for Adobe software?

1431
01:14:42,128 --> 01:14:45,979
It is criminal how they do it.

1432
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:47,524
It's criminal.

1433
01:14:47,524 --> 01:14:48,819
how criminal it is, yes.

1434
01:14:48,819 --> 01:14:51,799
~ I've never paid for it myself, thank God, but like, you know.

1435
01:14:51,799 --> 01:14:53,711
I I had a client.

1436
01:14:53,972 --> 01:14:54,522
Yeah, I

1437
01:14:54,522 --> 01:15:08,758
had a client who like w was so deeply invested in the Adobe suite and I they ended up
paying my ~ license fee, but it was it was crazy, dude.

1438
01:15:08,758 --> 01:15:11,331
I was like, how is this legal?

1439
01:15:12,109 --> 01:15:13,129
~

1440
01:15:13,958 --> 01:15:19,052
on one hand, I'm not big onto AI as we all like vibe coding.

1441
01:15:19,052 --> 01:15:22,317
On the other hand though, this is Adobe we're talking about.

1442
01:15:22,317 --> 01:15:22,781
I

1443
01:15:22,781 --> 01:15:26,467
could I could n this could not happen to a better company, truth be told.

1444
01:15:27,362 --> 01:15:28,173
Now that being said,

1445
01:15:28,173 --> 01:15:30,394
they do treat their employees well.

1446
01:15:30,394 --> 01:15:42,054
So it makes me ~ I ha I hate the pricing bottle, but I do there is an Adobe ~ satellite
office, like a big one here in Utah, and they do treat their employees well, I'll say

1447
01:15:42,054 --> 01:15:42,774
that.

1448
01:15:43,940 --> 01:15:48,062
Right, but like also you're not just paying for the software, you're also paying for
customer service too.

1449
01:15:48,062 --> 01:15:53,335
So if you're not comfortable with doing this and you want customer service, I don't know,
just get a W or whatever.

1450
01:15:53,335 --> 01:15:54,575
Or use something else.

1451
01:15:54,875 --> 01:15:56,069
Also, Gardener.

1452
01:15:56,069 --> 01:15:56,576
Yes.

1453
01:15:56,576 --> 01:15:59,257
This does apparently work on Linux.

1454
01:15:59,376 --> 01:16:00,234
Mm.

1455
01:16:00,298 --> 01:16:02,469
So there's a flat pack.

1456
01:16:02,469 --> 01:16:07,201
~ I don't think it's on the I don't think it's on Flat Hub just yet, but there

1457
01:16:07,201 --> 01:16:09,338
is a flat pack available.

1458
01:16:09,338 --> 01:16:10,478
Interesting.

1459
01:16:10,819 --> 01:16:14,531
They also have ~ so it so they I just installed it.

1460
01:16:14,531 --> 01:16:15,491
I'm on Windows right now.

1461
01:16:15,491 --> 01:16:22,085
They have ~ Photocraft, Vectorcraft, which sound like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

1462
01:16:22,085 --> 01:16:28,548
And then they have film craft, which is it has it says like Adobe Photoshop, like Adobe
Illustrator, like Premiere Pro.

1463
01:16:28,548 --> 01:16:34,638
~ Lightroom, ~ Acrobat, After Effects.

1464
01:16:34,638 --> 01:16:36,635
Acrobat Yeah

1465
01:16:36,635 --> 01:16:37,393
Acrobat

1466
01:16:37,393 --> 01:16:39,074
but dude, I just scrolled down.

1467
01:16:39,074 --> 01:16:40,975
It says new apps.

1468
01:16:41,196 --> 01:16:48,440
they have WordCraft, which is like Microsoft Word, Deck Craft, which is like PowerPoint,
Gridcraft, which is like Excel.

1469
01:16:48,440 --> 01:16:49,367
~

1470
01:16:49,367 --> 01:16:50,561
where are you seeing all this?

1471
01:16:50,561 --> 01:16:52,982
I'm I have the app installed on my computer.

1472
01:16:52,982 --> 01:16:54,483
Like I just installed it.

1473
01:16:54,483 --> 01:16:55,724
you send a screenshot?

1474
01:16:55,724 --> 01:16:56,184
Yes.

1475
01:16:56,184 --> 01:17:00,006
~ wait, dude.

1476
01:17:00,006 --> 01:17:01,567
~

1477
01:17:01,567 --> 01:17:04,613
you know, I don't I don't hate it.

1478
01:17:04,613 --> 01:17:16,160
Like I hate the AI aspect of it, but what like I think James, you were saying earlier, ~
that like what AI has been really good for is reverse engineering.

1479
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,921
And that's what I've been seeing from a lot of YouTube channels that I follow.

1480
01:17:18,921 --> 01:17:21,062
~ I just sent it high tech.

1481
01:17:21,062 --> 01:17:22,363
~

1482
01:17:22,363 --> 01:17:30,508
so but like what's really cool is like they also have autodesk autocad and they have avid
pro tools as well.

1483
01:17:30,508 --> 01:17:33,209
So like that's pretty crazy.

1484
01:17:33,585 --> 01:17:39,617
Okay, the thing that s the interesting thing is this gridcraft programmer here, 'cause
it's supposed to be like Excel.

1485
01:17:39,617 --> 01:17:40,507
'Cause

1486
01:17:40,807 --> 01:17:50,740
one of the weaker aspects of like the open source ~ office suites and stuff have it's
traditionally been Excel, 'cause Excel has a lot of because of how Excel formulas and

1487
01:17:50,740 --> 01:17:52,030
stuff work, it's a bit

1488
01:17:52,030 --> 01:17:53,050
different.

1489
01:17:53,391 --> 01:18:02,703
And if this is like one to one, I don't wanna say one to one like perfectly, but if it's
like one to zero point nine five to office, then that

1490
01:18:02,896 --> 01:18:06,606
That would probably kill kill any office users.

1491
01:18:06,606 --> 01:18:09,018
~ uses for office, truth be told.

1492
01:18:09,018 --> 01:18:23,044
Yeah, I the the problem with so like Google Docs and EuroOffice and Proton Mail, like
Proton Office, they all have pretty great approximations of ~ Excel.

1493
01:18:23,044 --> 01:18:31,448
The big problem is when companies are invested in ~ in the Microsoft Office suite, it is
so hard

1494
01:18:31,448 --> 01:18:32,428
to get entrenched.

1495
01:18:32,428 --> 01:18:36,310
I mean they they're locked in, they're they're vendor locked in to Microsoft.

1496
01:18:36,310 --> 01:18:39,001
So the but like and it

1497
01:18:39,001 --> 01:18:48,820
even even like Libra Office has like document compatibility with ~ like even the most
modern ~ Excel formats.

1498
01:18:48,820 --> 01:18:55,306
But it really just comes down to the fact that like these ~ they're they are just tied
into the Microsoft ecosystem.

1499
01:18:55,306 --> 01:18:59,219
And it's why Teams has become so ubiquitous too, right?

1500
01:18:59,219 --> 01:19:00,931
Is because people are already

1501
01:19:00,931 --> 01:19:03,110
paying for the microsoft license.

1502
01:19:03,110 --> 01:19:08,595
Apple does it it has similar, like it has a lot more compatibility with a lot of the
Microsoft stuff.

1503
01:19:08,595 --> 01:19:10,416
I don't know if it's vice versa though.

1504
01:19:10,416 --> 01:19:12,058
So ~

1505
01:19:12,058 --> 01:19:16,982
no, it's a lot like so there's companies still using COBOL programming languages.

1506
01:19:16,982 --> 01:19:21,185
Like there's some that and I think it is to this point.

1507
01:19:21,946 --> 01:19:25,289
Some people will argue, well, it it works, we don't need to change it.

1508
01:19:25,289 --> 01:19:28,851
I do think we could evolve beyond some of these.

1509
01:19:29,934 --> 01:19:34,367
And get better and pull that band-aid off, it's just ~ it's the risk.

1510
01:19:34,367 --> 01:19:35,348
They don't wanna risk it.

1511
01:19:35,348 --> 01:19:46,455
They're r it's r and it's really weird because they're really willing to risk short term
gains for and destroy their long term, but man, they don't wanna change it on the software

1512
01:19:46,455 --> 01:19:47,409
side, I guess.

1513
01:19:47,409 --> 01:19:48,207
Mm.

1514
01:19:48,297 --> 01:19:52,799
But then again, people I think would get upset too, because they have to relearn stuff and
I I understand that.

1515
01:19:53,820 --> 01:19:59,644
I think this is gonna further I I think this could further destroy

1516
01:20:00,195 --> 01:20:03,108
some of these software companies and some developers.

1517
01:20:03,108 --> 01:20:06,311
It's just this is good,

1518
01:20:06,372 --> 01:20:18,146
but it's also it will further ~ especially if it really tries to destroy or if it if it
hurts the developers from Adobe and Microsoft, like, I don't know.

1519
01:20:18,146 --> 01:20:19,037
More and more people are just

1520
01:20:19,037 --> 01:20:19,917
being let go.

1521
01:20:19,917 --> 01:20:32,447
the this puts Adobe in a very precarious situation because if we remember back ~ a couple
of years ago, one of the reasons that I told one of my clients I wasn't gonna use Adobe

1522
01:20:32,447 --> 01:20:42,094
anymore was because they had introduced the thing that said, You don't actually you you
give us ~ the right to train on all of your data.

1523
01:20:42,094 --> 01:20:43,755
Like all of your art,

1524
01:20:43,876 --> 01:20:45,817
Adobe and so Adobe

1525
01:20:46,237 --> 01:20:50,119
~ is net has fucked around and now they are finding out.

1526
01:20:50,119 --> 01:20:50,939
So

1527
01:20:50,939 --> 01:21:05,905
if Adobe wants to prevent this, then it's going to open the door to creatives who like
were screwed over by Adobe's ~ license agreement that they introduced a couple years ago.

1528
01:21:05,905 --> 01:21:12,188
So like this is I mean dude AI is su is like a ticking time bomb, right?

1529
01:21:12,188 --> 01:21:15,279
Like we at some point

1530
01:21:15,405 --> 01:21:29,671
A some federal judge is going to find that if you have used AI in a product, then that
means that OpenAI or Anthropic owns some part of your product.

1531
01:21:29,911 --> 01:21:35,984
Like that's that is going to become I mean that just seems and it doesn't and even if it

1532
01:21:35,984 --> 01:21:41,286
doesn't go all the way up to the Supreme Court, this is a huge ticking time bomb.

1533
01:21:41,286 --> 01:21:44,793
This is what ~ corporate colonists do.

1534
01:21:44,793 --> 01:21:45,073
Right.

1535
01:21:45,073 --> 01:21:51,078
They introduce themselves in in a way that seems like, we're disrupting the market.

1536
01:21:51,078 --> 01:21:53,901
And then they start to try to claim ownership of that market.

1537
01:21:53,901 --> 01:22:04,144
And it's like, dude, we're we don't even know the kind of absolute fuckery that these
companies are gonna try to introduce here in a couple years.

1538
01:22:04,144 --> 01:22:06,845
Honestly man, this is this is just insane.

1539
01:22:06,845 --> 01:22:15,598
I do I do want I'm I don't think I'm gonna try out ~ was it light craft film craft it was
'cause you I'm I I'm pretty entrenched in Da Vinci Resolve.

1540
01:22:15,858 --> 01:22:16,614
Unless

1541
01:22:16,614 --> 01:22:17,299
best.

1542
01:22:17,299 --> 01:22:23,281
unless, unless, unless they try to like make Da Vinci craft or whatever.

1543
01:22:23,281 --> 01:22:23,601
I don't know.

1544
01:22:23,601 --> 01:22:24,821
I don't fucking know.

1545
01:22:25,252 --> 01:22:25,462
I mean

1546
01:22:25,462 --> 01:22:27,994
you pay for it once and you're you've paid for it.

1547
01:22:28,014 --> 01:22:28,815
That's the beautiful

1548
01:22:28,815 --> 01:22:36,721
thing about DaVinci R unless DaVinci Resolve and I've been doing a little bit more on the
I wouldn't say AI editing tools.

1549
01:22:36,721 --> 01:22:43,076
Like what it is, it's more like ~ transcription tools is what we've been using to edit
more.

1550
01:22:43,076 --> 01:22:47,990
Is it it takes like, okay, this is where the dead space is, the transcript you don't
they'll it's just LLMs.

1551
01:22:48,049 --> 01:22:48,889
Mm.

1552
01:22:48,975 --> 01:22:49,209
Right.

1553
01:22:49,209 --> 01:22:50,156
Like I would

1554
01:22:50,493 --> 01:22:54,655
But if let's say DaVinci Resolve went to

1555
01:22:54,838 --> 01:22:56,229
What if they convert

1556
01:22:56,229 --> 01:23:00,431
if they went to Adobe, if they tur this Of course done.

1557
01:23:00,431 --> 01:23:02,752
Like I I there's a reason why I don't touch Adobe.

1558
01:23:02,752 --> 01:23:05,804
I've tried to use every alternative I can and I've gotten comfortable with alternatives.

1559
01:23:05,804 --> 01:23:07,625
I wouldn't I don't this is interesting.

1560
01:23:07,625 --> 01:23:09,355
We'll see if I ever touch it.

1561
01:23:09,856 --> 01:23:10,766
Maybe.

1562
01:23:11,023 --> 01:23:13,981
Well, I mean, depends on what your issue with Adobe was.

1563
01:23:13,981 --> 01:23:17,048
If it was always the business model and whatnot, then

1564
01:23:17,242 --> 01:23:19,616
But then I got accustomed to other tools.

1565
01:23:19,638 --> 01:23:20,781
They p they pushed me into

1566
01:23:20,781 --> 01:23:26,505
other tools and so I don't know if I necessarily need to go back for any reason,

1567
01:23:26,505 --> 01:23:26,985
but

1568
01:23:26,985 --> 01:23:36,952
I I will say Affinity Photo if you're looking for something like that's has similar
feature set ~

1569
01:23:36,952 --> 01:23:44,336
and you ~ want like document compatibility with Photoshop, Affinity Photo is pretty great.

1570
01:23:44,336 --> 01:23:45,265
~

1571
01:23:45,265 --> 01:23:47,647
This is pretty darn close to Photoshop's interface.

1572
01:23:47,647 --> 01:23:48,946
I've used Photoshop before.

1573
01:23:48,946 --> 01:23:49,858
And aside from like

1574
01:23:49,858 --> 01:23:57,098
this top this top like menu bar right there, this is ~ man, this is so crazy to me that

1575
01:23:57,098 --> 01:23:58,539
screwing around with it right now.

1576
01:23:58,539 --> 01:24:04,402
One thing that I will say, ~ and and this is true for almost every like open source
alternative.

1577
01:24:04,402 --> 01:24:07,584
~ I installed this.

1578
01:24:07,584 --> 01:24:10,965
I downloaded the like the launcher installer.

1579
01:24:10,965 --> 01:24:13,226
It was about one and a half megabytes.

1580
01:24:13,226 --> 01:24:16,948
And then I downloaded the Photoshop alternative.

1581
01:24:16,948 --> 01:24:17,619
What is it called?

1582
01:24:17,619 --> 01:24:19,069
Photocraft.

1583
01:24:19,490 --> 01:24:21,991
And it was 61 megabytes.

1584
01:24:21,991 --> 01:24:26,575
If you download Adobe's installer, it's like 600 megabytes.

1585
01:24:26,697 --> 01:24:31,921
megabytes and then if you install Photoshop it's like several gigabytes.

1586
01:24:32,347 --> 01:24:33,243
God damn.

1587
01:24:33,243 --> 01:24:34,163
Yeah.

1588
01:24:34,824 --> 01:24:36,335
It's crazy dude.

1589
01:24:36,374 --> 01:24:37,999
dude, but PDF craft?

1590
01:24:37,999 --> 01:24:43,523
I'm thinking I'm gonna get this because PDFs are the bane of my existence, especially if I
have to use Adobe.

1591
01:24:45,605 --> 01:24:47,250
Dude this looks just like it too.

1592
01:24:47,250 --> 01:24:49,681
This is crazy.

1593
01:24:49,681 --> 01:24:50,639
Mm.

1594
01:24:52,049 --> 01:24:54,510
Good l ~ my goodness, dude.

1595
01:24:54,510 --> 01:24:55,456
now I

1596
01:24:55,456 --> 01:24:57,025
is probably something I'd use.

1597
01:24:57,132 --> 01:25:12,113
I I wonder if ~ th they've also replicated the Adobe creative suite workflow of invest
several hours into a single project, forget to save and have the app crash on you and lose

1598
01:25:12,113 --> 01:25:12,824
all that work.

1599
01:25:12,824 --> 01:25:16,887
~

1600
01:25:16,887 --> 01:25:17,928
d that's right.

1601
01:25:17,928 --> 01:25:19,969
Rust is frickin' great.

1602
01:25:20,197 --> 01:25:22,408
But I mean Rust can fail too.

1603
01:25:22,408 --> 01:25:24,679
Like if it's if it's compl if it's

1604
01:25:24,679 --> 01:25:29,141
really sloppy code, ~ then it could crash.

1605
01:25:30,662 --> 01:25:32,503
~ it I speak

1606
01:25:32,503 --> 01:25:34,724
of the devil, it just crashed on me.

1607
01:25:35,951 --> 01:25:36,781
Wild Gardner

1608
01:25:36,781 --> 01:25:37,679
win a

1609
01:25:37,679 --> 01:25:39,663
copied the Adobe crashing.

1610
01:25:39,663 --> 01:25:42,628
I swear the Adobe stuff crashes.

1611
01:25:42,841 --> 01:25:44,784
it really is perfect.

1612
01:25:45,857 --> 01:25:46,668
man.

1613
01:25:46,668 --> 01:25:47,839
That's so funny.

1614
01:25:47,839 --> 01:25:48,690
it came back though.

1615
01:25:48,690 --> 01:25:53,855
~ premiere is garbage.

1616
01:25:53,996 --> 01:25:54,671
Dude

1617
01:25:54,671 --> 01:25:55,502
Well,

1618
01:25:56,106 --> 01:26:00,217
that's cause y even on Mac even on Mac it was garbage?

1619
01:26:00,259 --> 01:26:01,171
I've heard it was

1620
01:26:01,171 --> 01:26:02,722
a premiere is garbage.

1621
01:26:03,141 --> 01:26:04,921
Yeah.

1622
01:26:04,944 --> 01:26:05,545
is garbage.

1623
01:26:05,545 --> 01:26:10,940
They have no fiscal incentive to improve it because as long as you're paying.

1624
01:26:10,940 --> 01:26:11,220
Yeah,

1625
01:26:11,220 --> 01:26:15,964
you're locked in and you pay every month and you take what you get and you s and you keep
quiet.

1626
01:26:15,964 --> 01:26:21,468
Like Rebuild

1627
01:26:21,516 --> 01:26:21,936
Rebuild

1628
01:26:21,936 --> 01:26:23,107
Unreal Engine.

1629
01:26:23,325 --> 01:26:24,987
I'm all for Unreal Engine.

1630
01:26:24,987 --> 01:26:27,489
That's a very complicated but it's open sourced.

1631
01:26:27,489 --> 01:26:31,151
So there's a little bit more legal issues there.

1632
01:26:31,592 --> 01:26:32,472
Sorry.

1633
01:26:32,589 --> 01:26:38,879
want to see them rebuild Adobe Animate, which w used to be ~ Flash,

1634
01:26:38,879 --> 01:26:40,417
the Flash creator tool.

1635
01:26:40,417 --> 01:26:40,902
Ooh.

1636
01:26:40,902 --> 01:26:41,623
built a

1637
01:26:41,623 --> 01:26:43,157
UFO thing on that.

1638
01:26:43,157 --> 01:26:45,390
That was cool way back in the day.

1639
01:26:45,454 --> 01:26:47,635
love dude, I loved Flash.

1640
01:26:47,635 --> 01:26:50,397
I taught myself action script when I was in high school.

1641
01:26:50,397 --> 01:26:53,159
Like, man, it's so neat.

1642
01:26:53,539 --> 01:26:55,671
And and you can publish

1643
01:26:55,671 --> 01:27:11,691
them online now using like an install like just ~ distribute ruffle with it, which is like
a a flash emulator tool and it wor runs in your browser like through JavaScript and ~ web

1644
01:27:12,592 --> 01:27:13,721
web ASM.

1645
01:27:13,721 --> 01:27:15,809
And you're frickin' good to go, dude.

1646
01:27:16,858 --> 01:27:17,923
It's awesome.

1647
01:27:17,923 --> 01:27:18,315
Rough

1648
01:27:18,315 --> 01:27:23,590
of there's a lot of cool sh there's a lot of stuff that could okay, listen, okay.

1649
01:27:23,590 --> 01:27:31,436
This sounds like we're all all in on the vibe c coding stuff, which I AI is useful for
people that are already very skilled.

1650
01:27:31,436 --> 01:27:33,467
Like the usefulness of AI,

1651
01:27:33,467 --> 01:27:35,239
I believe, is exponential.

1652
01:27:35,239 --> 01:27:40,903
If you're like a high school dropout that's never touched a computer in your life, AI is
not gonna be super helpful.

1653
01:27:40,903 --> 01:27:41,790
But if you're s

1654
01:27:41,790 --> 01:27:42,307
dropout.

1655
01:27:42,307 --> 01:27:44,268
thing is you can use it as a launch pad to learn.

1656
01:27:44,268 --> 01:27:46,409
Like I I'm still going to stand by this.

1657
01:27:46,409 --> 01:27:48,591
You could use AI to learn,

1658
01:27:48,591 --> 01:27:49,040
Yes.

1659
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:59,696
a vi like a vibe coded app from a ~ not a professional, you can tell because they don't
even know what a a good looking app's supposed to look like, perform like.

1660
01:27:59,696 --> 01:28:07,761
They don't know the the the downfalls, the the security reasons why you would need a
database or s ~ like more secure

1661
01:28:07,761 --> 01:28:09,012
they don't understand that.

1662
01:28:09,012 --> 01:28:09,805
And that's

1663
01:28:09,805 --> 01:28:13,674
And AI could help with that, but they don't know what to ask even.

1664
01:28:13,674 --> 01:28:23,148
dude, there's there I think that there's a huge difference between like ~ like okay, if
you're trying to build a house

1665
01:28:23,405 --> 01:28:25,306
you know you need a hammer, right?

1666
01:28:25,306 --> 01:28:28,649
But if you don't know how to use the hammer, you're not gonna build a house.

1667
01:28:28,649 --> 01:28:32,852
Or if you do build a house, it's not gonna be a good house, right?

1668
01:28:32,852 --> 01:28:33,482
Whereas

1669
01:28:33,482 --> 01:28:41,638
if you know how to build a house and you buy ~ like a nail gun, then you're gonna it's
gonna improve your efficiency, right?

1670
01:28:41,638 --> 01:28:51,289
That's this is like if you know how to build an app and you or or you're looking to you
know how to disassemble a project

1671
01:28:51,289 --> 01:29:05,463
re reverse engineer it already and you use ~ a tool that is proven to actually do like to
help improve your work that like with an AI like whatever, then you're going to improve

1672
01:29:05,463 --> 01:29:06,054
your skills.

1673
01:29:06,054 --> 01:29:07,337
But yeah.

1674
01:29:07,337 --> 01:29:12,033
I I hate to interrupt this, but something cool happened with PS five emulation.

1675
01:29:12,432 --> 01:29:13,127
yeah.

1676
01:29:14,095 --> 01:29:19,793
So this is on our fifty ninety, but it's running at around a hundred FPS for Demon Souls
remake.

1677
01:29:19,793 --> 01:29:20,477
Wow.

1678
01:29:21,917 --> 01:29:27,160
And ~ even better it's also running on a forty seventy.

1679
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,277
I mean for a forty sixty Ti.

1680
01:29:29,277 --> 01:29:33,471
Alright, but to be fair, the video quality is ass, but it's running at like forty FPS.

1681
01:29:33,471 --> 01:29:34,342
for ya.

1682
01:29:35,105 --> 01:29:39,267
It's forty it's like forty FPS on average, which is insane.

1683
01:29:40,288 --> 01:29:41,489
That is pretty good.

1684
01:29:41,489 --> 01:29:41,823
And

1685
01:29:41,823 --> 01:29:42,114
this

1686
01:29:42,114 --> 01:29:45,214
is still nascent technology here, right?

1687
01:29:45,214 --> 01:29:45,677
Like

1688
01:29:45,677 --> 01:29:46,790
Right, it's still it's

1689
01:29:46,790 --> 01:29:49,059
still very much early in development.

1690
01:29:49,059 --> 01:29:57,029
I is PS5 development like almost at the same like maturity level as PS4 emulation?

1691
01:29:57,029 --> 01:29:58,368
I d I don't know, maybe.

1692
01:29:58,368 --> 01:29:59,013
Mm.

1693
01:29:59,013 --> 01:30:03,528
like I've seen more about PS5 emulation than I have about PS4, honestly.

1694
01:30:03,704 --> 01:30:04,507
I think things ramped

1695
01:30:04,507 --> 01:30:09,008
up really hard when Sony started just taking a piss on all the the customers.

1696
01:30:09,008 --> 01:30:09,698
Yeah.

1697
01:30:09,698 --> 01:30:10,618
Yeah.

1698
01:30:10,919 --> 01:30:18,062
You know, I think one of the best insults to Microsoft is that Xbox emulation is so
immature.

1699
01:30:18,062 --> 01:30:31,487
Like even ~ like original Xbox and 360 emulation is so poor because there just hasn't been
that many exclusives that have been worth putting the time into emulate those systems.

1700
01:30:31,487 --> 01:30:33,938
You know what I'm saying?

1701
01:30:33,938 --> 01:30:34,518
Exactly.

1702
01:30:34,518 --> 01:30:35,228
Yeah, yeah.

1703
01:30:35,228 --> 01:30:37,729
That's a huge insult to Microsoft, I think.

1704
01:30:38,117 --> 01:30:41,079
Yeah, I mean Yeah.

1705
01:30:41,620 --> 01:30:50,648
I plus if you want plus a lot of the multi platforms that are on both just I don't want to
say they play better on PlayStation three 'cause quite a few of them don't.

1706
01:30:51,049 --> 01:30:54,702
But they're emulatable, but you can certainly emulate them and it's better if you do so.

1707
01:30:54,702 --> 01:31:01,137
Alright, so the thing with it with Demon Souls here is that it's running at like double
the speed and that's due to like

1708
01:31:01,295 --> 01:31:03,106
Game logic being tied to game speed.

1709
01:31:03,106 --> 01:31:03,776
And I think at

1710
01:31:03,776 --> 01:31:05,186
some point they'll they'll correct that.

1711
01:31:05,186 --> 01:31:08,507
Look, that that's like not Demon Soul Speed.

1712
01:31:09,748 --> 01:31:13,008
Alright, I but enough about Demon Souls and Artcraft.

1713
01:31:13,008 --> 01:31:14,799
Let's talk about Taylor Swift again.

1714
01:31:14,799 --> 01:31:17,439
~

1715
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:27,263
namely, ~ not Taylor Swift, but someone that beat Taylor Swift using AI music and was
subsequently jailed because he was using AI bots to stream his stuff on Spotify, thus

1716
01:31:27,263 --> 01:31:28,425
making a s

1717
01:31:28,599 --> 01:31:31,571
circular loop, thus making a shitload of profit.

1718
01:31:33,421 --> 01:31:41,200
So essentially, North Carolina resid ~ resident Michael Smith, ~ he conspired to commit
wire fraud.

1719
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,973
He was charged he was formally charged with it, so we don't have to say allegedly.

1720
01:31:46,456 --> 01:31:47,560
So a le

1721
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,741
was he cons he was charged with it?

1722
01:31:49,741 --> 01:31:51,983
He was charged with it.

1723
01:31:51,983 --> 01:31:54,669
But he and he pleaded guilty, okay.

1724
01:31:54,972 --> 01:31:55,370
Yeah.

1725
01:31:55,370 --> 01:31:57,283
we can say yeah, so it's definitive.

1726
01:31:57,283 --> 01:31:58,244
So he

1727
01:31:58,244 --> 01:32:08,224
earned royalties from eighty eighty-one million streams of his me of his music, which is
nine times more than Taylor Swift's entire discography in that period.

1728
01:32:09,926 --> 01:32:16,933
And it w he so basically flooded the platforms with AI music and bots that would play that
AI music.

1729
01:32:19,031 --> 01:32:21,145
And yes.

1730
01:32:23,493 --> 01:32:26,126
I don't know if there's anything wrong with this, honestly.

1731
01:32:28,271 --> 01:32:33,105
Well, the problem is though that is that it's hurting artists.

1732
01:32:33,105 --> 01:32:37,401
Like at 'cause there are a lot of like independent artists on like Spotify and stuff.

1733
01:32:37,401 --> 01:32:49,204
well if we're worried about hurting artists ~ I think ~ we should look take a look at
YouTube and TikTok, who I feel are doing this exact same thing, like on industry wide

1734
01:32:49,204 --> 01:32:51,159
scale on YouTube and TikTok.

1735
01:32:51,159 --> 01:32:51,949
I agree.

1736
01:32:51,949 --> 01:32:54,158
I couldn't agree more honestly.

1737
01:32:54,281 --> 01:32:57,088
But yeah, so essentially they've

1738
01:32:57,388 --> 01:33:00,434
I think YouTube now pays artists though.

1739
01:33:01,957 --> 01:33:03,860
They paid artists for a while, right?

1740
01:33:03,860 --> 01:33:06,189
Or am I mis misunderstanding?

1741
01:33:06,189 --> 01:33:21,684
y I'm my understanding is that YouTube ~ is either co complicit or are turning a blind eye
to like ~ artificial traffic from bot farms to increase their own ad revenue.

1742
01:33:22,485 --> 01:33:22,797
Yeah.

1743
01:33:22,797 --> 01:33:34,797
think YouTube and I think YouTube especially, ~ and we use it, but I think YouTube
professes that they don't make as much money as they do, but their profits really high and

1744
01:33:34,797 --> 01:33:35,037
they've

1745
01:33:35,037 --> 01:33:42,624
got like their hard like don't don't get me wrong, it costs a lot to run a YouTube kind of
thing, but they own the whole infrastructure.

1746
01:33:42,734 --> 01:33:45,084
Data centers have been paid off essentially.

1747
01:33:45,084 --> 01:33:50,478
I mean technically that's a whole other thing, but like they make so much money and they
still take such a big cut.

1748
01:33:50,478 --> 01:33:55,827
So it also I would say hurts everyone on that side too.

1749
01:33:56,011 --> 01:33:57,802
how do we free ourselves from YouTube though?

1750
01:33:57,802 --> 01:34:02,034
That's like the one thing that's basically unchallenged.

1751
01:34:02,374 --> 01:34:03,682
Cause what are where are we gonna go?

1752
01:34:03,682 --> 01:34:05,095
Dailymotion?

1753
01:34:05,936 --> 01:34:07,017
Vimeo?

1754
01:34:07,017 --> 01:34:07,367
Who the

1755
01:34:07,367 --> 01:34:09,458
fuck knows no one knows what those are.

1756
01:34:10,256 --> 01:34:10,536
Yeah.

1757
01:34:10,536 --> 01:34:13,967
I mean honestly it's why I started running the Bryant Review.

1758
01:34:13,967 --> 01:34:16,107
It's why I started the Bryant Review.

1759
01:34:16,187 --> 01:34:19,663
Like and and

1760
01:34:19,663 --> 01:34:20,408
work with it.

1761
01:34:20,408 --> 01:34:21,089
thank you.

1762
01:34:21,089 --> 01:34:35,332
And I will say also the Bryant Review the in September in August and September made more
money that like from sub people subscribing to the site than my YouTube channel made in ad

1763
01:34:35,332 --> 01:34:36,952
revenue those same months.

1764
01:34:37,541 --> 01:34:38,233
Damn.

1765
01:34:38,233 --> 01:34:39,133
Yeah.

1766
01:34:40,015 --> 01:34:43,310
It's not a lot 'cause YouTube pays next to nothing now.

1767
01:34:43,310 --> 01:34:49,038
~ but yeah, it's pretty it's pretty cool to like dude, it's pretty cool.

1768
01:34:49,620 --> 01:34:49,840
In

1769
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:54,867
twenty twenty six running a website, you can make more money from subscribers than ad
revenue on YouTube.

1770
01:34:55,024 --> 01:34:55,944
Do you think AI

1771
01:34:55,944 --> 01:34:56,935
and a bunch of other stuff would hurt it?

1772
01:34:56,935 --> 01:35:00,006
But no, I think it's becoming more and more you have to go that route.

1773
01:35:00,006 --> 01:35:02,487
I mean, I I I'm going a different route.

1774
01:35:02,487 --> 01:35:07,889
Like with the revealed social project I'm working that off the console's built on top of,
technically as a brand,

1775
01:35:07,889 --> 01:35:08,350
Mm.

1776
01:35:08,350 --> 01:35:20,055
I want to bring more I I who knows if we'll ever take off fully, but I want to bring more
the publishing back into people's hands.

1777
01:35:20,055 --> 01:35:22,416
So we'll see.

1778
01:35:22,712 --> 01:35:33,231
I'll go over it one these days when I'm done por ~ messing around with all the the
minutiae stuff, but I have the creator platform and then I have the feed.

1779
01:35:33,231 --> 01:35:35,674
And so it'll be interesting.

1780
01:35:35,675 --> 01:35:36,615
One day.

1781
01:35:36,761 --> 01:35:47,376
believe that like the only future that is sustainable for creatives on the internet is to
get off of platforms, right?

1782
01:35:47,376 --> 01:35:51,758
Like the Bryant Review is a self-hosted instance of Ghost.

1783
01:35:51,758 --> 01:35:59,148
~ but if you're on Substack, if you're on Twitter, if you're on YouTube, ~

1784
01:35:59,148 --> 01:36:03,985
your days are numbered in terms of running a successful business on those platforms.

1785
01:36:03,985 --> 01:36:12,256
Like I think the only successful way the only me way forward is to become independent of
them.

1786
01:36:13,411 --> 01:36:14,098
I c I it

1787
01:36:14,098 --> 01:36:15,375
makes sense, yeah.

1788
01:36:15,429 --> 01:36:19,697
That's like what I'm trying to figure I've solved because

1789
01:36:19,697 --> 01:36:20,332
Mm.

1790
01:36:20,332 --> 01:36:23,324
like with Revealed Social, that's the that's the social feed.

1791
01:36:23,324 --> 01:36:27,177
That's where you share into and you have it's it's based off the Fediverse too.

1792
01:36:27,177 --> 01:36:28,287
Like it in it goes into

1793
01:36:28,287 --> 01:36:28,817
the Fediverse.

1794
01:36:28,817 --> 01:36:35,361
~ it will do vi it handles videos and some other stuff, but then when you click into
something you go to their website.

1795
01:36:35,782 --> 01:36:36,222
Like

1796
01:36:36,222 --> 01:36:37,043
off the console.

1797
01:36:37,043 --> 01:36:39,694
So off the console, ~

1798
01:36:40,110 --> 01:36:41,060
would get posted on there.

1799
01:36:41,060 --> 01:36:44,162
I haven't talked to you guys about like this is behind the scenes, by the way, guys.

1800
01:36:44,162 --> 01:36:51,526
But like would technically get posted there, but we still own the brand and everything and
the website.

1801
01:36:51,526 --> 01:36:51,826
But

1802
01:36:51,826 --> 01:36:58,760
then it it's just an easier way to like get discovered, but then also own your product.

1803
01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:06,154
~ it's still on a platform, but I'm I'm making exporting 'cause right it's on a SQLite,
each brand is.

1804
01:37:06,214 --> 01:37:06,605
So you

1805
01:37:06,605 --> 01:37:09,453
just export into your own SQLite website.

1806
01:37:09,453 --> 01:37:09,783
So

1807
01:37:09,783 --> 01:37:10,474
Nice.

1808
01:37:10,474 --> 01:37:10,974
Yeah, dude.

1809
01:37:10,974 --> 01:37:17,361
I mean the thing is my my whole philosophy is p ~ protocols, not platforms, right?

1810
01:37:17,361 --> 01:37:25,510
So having using something like Activity Pub, which is the backbone of the Fediverse, is
the way forward, right?

1811
01:37:25,510 --> 01:37:30,676
Mastodon supports act or Mastodon is Activity Pub, Ghost uses Activity Pub.

1812
01:37:30,676 --> 01:37:31,956
~

1813
01:37:32,399 --> 01:37:37,555
like d it's really the only way forward because then there's no central authority.

1814
01:37:37,555 --> 01:37:43,522
It's all about like people cooperating and that's how you can build community and sustain
them, in my opinion.

1815
01:37:43,522 --> 01:37:47,609
~ anyway, sorry, totally changed changed the topic there, but

1816
01:37:47,609 --> 01:37:49,144
Hey, no worries, man.

1817
01:37:52,879 --> 01:37:56,097
I'm still playing around with the ~ with the Photoshop tool.

1818
01:37:56,463 --> 01:37:57,634
Dude.

1819
01:37:58,398 --> 01:37:59,180
Do it on Linux.

1820
01:37:59,180 --> 01:38:01,571
I wanna see how I wanna see how that w shakes out.

1821
01:38:01,571 --> 01:38:04,228
Yeah, ~ I'll do that on my laptop.

1822
01:38:05,575 --> 01:38:06,092
Yeah.

1823
01:38:06,092 --> 01:38:08,715
let's talk about the final topic.

1824
01:38:08,715 --> 01:38:13,471
Anthropic bans abuse over cruel behavior towards claws.

1825
01:38:15,705 --> 01:38:24,799
Was it in the bonus episode where I said like the anthropomorphic ~ the
anthropomorphization of AI is like marketing jargon?

1826
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,599
Like this this feels like that to me.

1827
01:38:27,599 --> 01:38:30,643
I f yeah, I f you did mention this, yes.

1828
01:38:31,983 --> 01:38:32,562
Yeah.

1829
01:38:32,562 --> 01:38:34,336
I they're they're

1830
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,241
It's interesting.

1831
01:38:38,262 --> 01:38:40,703
Some of the stuff people have said and do.

1832
01:38:40,703 --> 01:38:43,324
Like it it you they shouldn't be controlling.

1833
01:38:43,704 --> 01:38:45,595
I I just don't know what it does to the effect.

1834
01:38:45,595 --> 01:38:52,588
Let's say if if they're training some of their data off of people's prompts, which I think
they are, that's probably poisoning it a little bit, and that's maybe one of the reasons

1835
01:38:52,588 --> 01:38:53,809
why they want to ban it.

1836
01:38:53,809 --> 01:38:55,730
I can understand that a little bit.

1837
01:38:55,790 --> 01:39:00,312
But and some of the stuff people say and how abusive they are, I'm like

1838
01:39:00,312 --> 01:39:01,053
It's a red flag.

1839
01:39:01,053 --> 01:39:04,018
I actually kinda wanna know what people's prompts are 'cause then I could avoid them.

1840
01:39:04,018 --> 01:39:05,540
But then that's, you know, privacy, of course.

1841
01:39:05,540 --> 01:39:07,523
But I've seen some

1842
01:39:07,523 --> 01:39:08,224
people's stuff.

1843
01:39:08,224 --> 01:39:09,645
It's pretty gross.

1844
01:39:09,852 --> 01:39:11,310
I don't know.

1845
01:39:11,675 --> 01:39:13,199
People are crazy, man.

1846
01:39:13,199 --> 01:39:14,258
Mm-hmm.

1847
01:39:15,191 --> 01:39:22,969
~ Anthropic's probably worried that if we bully an AI enough, they're gonna create Skynet
and they're gonna kill us all.

1848
01:39:23,077 --> 01:39:35,006
Well, d I genuinely believe that almost everything that you hear from the top brass at
these companies is designed to make people afraid of what they're building, which then

1849
01:39:35,006 --> 01:39:46,154
they can turn around and say, Hey politicians, you need to make us the sole arbiters of AI
so that we can be we solidify our position in the market so that when it everything

1850
01:39:46,154 --> 01:39:47,855
collapses we'll stick around.

1851
01:39:47,855 --> 01:39:49,016
Like that's what it all feels

1852
01:39:49,016 --> 01:39:49,976
like to me.

1853
01:39:50,313 --> 01:39:52,159
That is also true, yes.

1854
01:39:55,135 --> 01:39:58,211
what a crazy what a crazy world we live in, you know.

1855
01:40:00,506 --> 01:40:01,601
It's nuts.

1856
01:40:02,539 --> 01:40:04,532
It's yeah.

1857
01:40:04,532 --> 01:40:05,193
I don't know.

1858
01:40:05,193 --> 01:40:06,514
It's a hard one.

1859
01:40:06,589 --> 01:40:11,151
W so are you guys on the consensus that this is a bad thing that they're doing though?

1860
01:40:11,151 --> 01:40:16,548
Is the to ban this type of behavior or f on their platform?

1861
01:40:16,643 --> 01:40:18,537
I'm nothing I nothing this.

1862
01:40:18,537 --> 01:40:20,279
I'm skeptical of it.

1863
01:40:20,493 --> 01:40:23,693
I I don't I don't see the point.

1864
01:40:23,693 --> 01:40:24,569
Yeah.

1865
01:40:24,569 --> 01:40:27,531
some people I think that have already gotten their accounts banned.

1866
01:40:27,569 --> 01:40:28,327
Yeah.

1867
01:40:28,677 --> 01:40:30,318
Due to abusive behavior.

1868
01:40:30,633 --> 01:40:34,351
I wonder but and some people s are saying it's retroactively, but I you can't believe
people on the internet.

1869
01:40:34,351 --> 01:40:36,866
Like some of these people I'm just like I just don't think

1870
01:40:38,831 --> 01:40:39,995
You y I don't know, man.

1871
01:40:39,995 --> 01:40:42,402
You cannot trust people, truth be told.

1872
01:40:42,518 --> 01:40:47,789
I think it might help curb too, because there's no way if you're just talking to an A like
if you're prompting all day.

1873
01:40:47,789 --> 01:40:54,431
Let's say some of these people are addicted to AI in some form or fashion, and they're
prompting all day, and this is how they're t they're talking very there's no way that's

1874
01:40:54,431 --> 01:40:56,392
not leaking out into their personal life.

1875
01:40:56,672 --> 01:40:56,832
I

1876
01:40:56,832 --> 01:40:57,752
don't know.

1877
01:40:58,573 --> 01:41:04,454
Like this is I I because it doesn't affect me, and maybe that's bad.

1878
01:41:04,634 --> 01:41:06,455
I'm kind of for this ban.

1879
01:41:07,535 --> 01:41:11,336
But you know, at the end of the day.

1880
01:41:12,049 --> 01:41:12,687
huh.

1881
01:41:12,782 --> 01:41:19,682
I don't understand people and how they can just be so I mean I've gotten mad 'cause I've
I've ha I've used AI before.

1882
01:41:19,682 --> 01:41:21,154
I'm like, what the f is this?

1883
01:41:21,154 --> 01:41:22,015
~

1884
01:41:22,015 --> 01:41:27,733
but I've never been like degrading or anything like that, 'cause I also don't treat it
like

1885
01:41:27,733 --> 01:41:29,916
a an entity, I guess.

1886
01:41:29,923 --> 01:41:34,005
Right, and there's no there's no like functional use for insulting an AI.

1887
01:41:34,005 --> 01:41:35,636
It's not a person.

1888
01:41:35,796 --> 01:41:40,278
I would say there's no f I would say insulting people too, right, but like

1889
01:41:40,278 --> 01:41:41,799
it's understandable too.

1890
01:41:41,799 --> 01:41:43,760
Espe like if they insult me,

1891
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:44,200
Mm.

1892
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:46,361
I'd probably insult them back, let's be honest.

1893
01:41:46,658 --> 01:41:49,179
Yeah, I mean that's fair game.

1894
01:41:49,706 --> 01:41:50,637
But

1895
01:41:50,683 --> 01:41:52,045
Like an AI is not gonna insult me.

1896
01:41:52,045 --> 01:41:55,158
I'd I'd I'd argue

1897
01:41:55,359 --> 01:41:56,220
Yeah, let's say yeah,

1898
01:41:56,220 --> 01:41:59,384
I'd argue it's I'd argue it's nicer than most people, let's be honest.

1899
01:41:59,384 --> 01:42:00,815
Most people kinda suck.

1900
01:42:01,179 --> 01:42:03,110
Have you guys used OLAMA?

1901
01:42:04,291 --> 01:42:05,010
Like, like,

1902
01:42:05,010 --> 01:42:05,451
good.

1903
01:42:05,451 --> 01:42:08,953
like Llama, like a locally hosted AI?

1904
01:42:09,149 --> 01:42:10,194
I you

1905
01:42:10,194 --> 01:42:23,120
I tried Llama the other day, ~ just out of curiosity, and I was like kinda shocked by the
tone that the AI had when it answered my questions.

1906
01:42:23,221 --> 01:42:24,141
Like

1907
01:42:24,509 --> 01:42:29,292
~ it just it seemed unfriendly and hostile the way it was writing.

1908
01:42:29,292 --> 01:42:29,773
Yeah.

1909
01:42:29,773 --> 01:42:31,564
And I was like, this this

1910
01:42:31,564 --> 01:42:35,646
reeks of Mark Zuckerberg antisocial like behavior to me.

1911
01:42:35,646 --> 01:42:39,058
Because Llama is is meta's AI.

1912
01:42:39,579 --> 01:42:40,479
Yeah.

1913
01:42:40,639 --> 01:42:42,651
And I thought that was fascinating.

1914
01:42:42,651 --> 01:42:44,592
good model.

1915
01:42:44,732 --> 01:42:45,523
Open source model

1916
01:42:45,523 --> 01:42:49,254
you can use, but ~

1917
01:42:49,455 --> 01:42:51,136
like local one, but yeah.

1918
01:42:51,136 --> 01:42:51,476
Huh.

1919
01:42:51,476 --> 01:42:54,658
I haven't really l played I need to play around with more with local.

1920
01:42:54,658 --> 01:42:58,160
I do use yeah, hmm.

1921
01:42:58,605 --> 01:43:00,213
It was fascinating.

1922
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:05,610
Interesting.

1923
01:43:05,610 --> 01:43:08,771
do you guys wanna see ~ to ch change the subject, sorry.

1924
01:43:08,771 --> 01:43:13,896
~ do you guys wanna see what ~ what mesh tastic looks like?

1925
01:43:15,198 --> 01:43:15,938
Okay,

1926
01:43:15,938 --> 01:43:16,859
so check it out.

1927
01:43:16,859 --> 01:43:24,625
So ~ I'm not I don't I'm not connected to Wi-Fi and this tablet doesn't have like
anything.

1928
01:43:24,625 --> 01:43:29,029
Like there's it doesn't have 4G or 5G or anything, right?

1929
01:43:29,029 --> 01:43:34,659
So I'm fully I'm fully offline, except I have Bluetooth and it's connect and this

1930
01:43:34,659 --> 01:43:36,432
is connected to this radio.

1931
01:43:36,432 --> 01:43:37,432
Okay.

1932
01:43:37,874 --> 01:43:42,120
And then on my phone here, this is connected to my other radio.

1933
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:46,256
When I hit send on my f on my phone, it's going to be received here.

1934
01:43:46,256 --> 01:43:46,807
Watch this.

1935
01:43:46,807 --> 01:43:47,408
Ready?

1936
01:43:47,408 --> 01:43:48,409
Here we go.

1937
01:43:49,135 --> 01:43:49,458
Sick.

1938
01:43:49,458 --> 01:43:52,098
Ooh.

1939
01:43:52,180 --> 01:43:55,303
Full this device is fully offline.

1940
01:43:55,364 --> 01:43:56,603
Isn't that awesome?

1941
01:43:56,603 --> 01:43:57,945
Can you send images?

1942
01:43:58,442 --> 01:44:00,651
~ no, it's text only.

1943
01:44:00,651 --> 01:44:03,605
~ yeah, you did say that.

1944
01:44:03,605 --> 01:44:09,220
this is seriously limited bandwidth, but it's but you can send text messages.

1945
01:44:09,881 --> 01:44:16,688
most of the the Laura radios also have GPS capability, so you can send coordinates if you
need to.

1946
01:44:16,984 --> 01:44:18,226
What's the

1947
01:44:19,010 --> 01:44:21,337
what's the encryption like on it?

1948
01:44:21,337 --> 01:44:23,020
How easy is it intercept?

1949
01:44:23,353 --> 01:44:29,197
Okay, so right now I'm in the long fast lobby, which has which is like totally
unencrypted.

1950
01:44:29,197 --> 01:44:30,838
~ but

1951
01:44:30,838 --> 01:44:39,804
what I can do is I can send if I ~ click on this node.

1952
01:44:39,804 --> 01:44:44,267
~ this is 80 10.

1953
01:44:44,267 --> 01:44:50,031
So if I do this, I can send myself an encrypted message across and it's like encrypted and

1954
01:44:50,031 --> 01:44:52,813
and what's really cool is like the mesh network will

1955
01:44:52,825 --> 01:44:59,592
Like if there was a node between us, the it would be like transparent and it would just
pass it along and it's encrypted.

1956
01:44:59,592 --> 01:45:04,397
So ~ and I don't remember what the encryption scheme is, but it's secure.

1957
01:45:05,158 --> 01:45:08,131
And like it yeah, dude, it's it's really cool.

1958
01:45:10,017 --> 01:45:12,598
~ and it's I mean it's bi directional too.

1959
01:45:12,598 --> 01:45:18,241
So like I could send a message to my phone from from my tablet.

1960
01:45:18,561 --> 01:45:26,115
~ and the more the more that people are using it, the the more fun like and more reliable
the network becomes.

1961
01:45:26,970 --> 01:45:32,673
So you're saying I need to buy one of those for the zombie apocalypse?

1962
01:45:33,091 --> 01:45:33,982
Yes.

1963
01:45:33,982 --> 01:45:43,919
And ~ we need to have like ~ just a chain of solar powered ones from here from my house to
yours and to high techs so that we can actually communicate.

1964
01:45:43,919 --> 01:45:47,522
Damn, that's And they don't seem that expensive too.

1965
01:45:47,522 --> 01:45:53,707
I think you sent you sent a link earlier and it was like forty bucks for just the rate one
of the radios.

1966
01:45:53,707 --> 01:45:57,388
two years ago and I paid thirty dollars for it.

1967
01:45:57,609 --> 01:46:03,391
That one, which is like a more consumer friendly one, ~ I paid I think fifty dollars for
it.

1968
01:46:03,391 --> 01:46:05,972
And the one I sent you was about fifty bucks high tech.

1969
01:46:05,972 --> 01:46:18,016
~ but there's also like solar powered nodes that you can mount way up on like a flagpole
or something and they s have greater line of sight and they have more range, especially if

1970
01:46:18,016 --> 01:46:20,227
you add like a high gain antenna or something.

1971
01:46:20,921 --> 01:46:26,415
And those are like a hundred and thirty, a hundred and forty dollars, something like that.

1972
01:46:26,557 --> 01:46:28,611
So it's pretty exciting.

1973
01:46:29,957 --> 01:46:31,197
Dude, I can't wait.

1974
01:46:31,197 --> 01:46:35,760
I can't wait till we get all of these and then we just abandon the old internet.

1975
01:46:35,909 --> 01:46:36,750
Yeah.

1976
01:46:37,513 --> 01:46:42,042
I want to I wanna go as offline as I can.

1977
01:46:43,543 --> 01:46:44,996
One day, gardener.

1978
01:46:44,996 --> 01:46:46,553
One day.

1979
01:46:46,678 --> 01:46:48,709
Maybe today's not the day though.

1980
01:46:48,709 --> 01:46:49,709
Not yet.

1981
01:46:50,126 --> 01:46:51,900
I wanna go more online.

1982
01:46:52,236 --> 01:46:55,374
I'm gonna be cyberpunking myself into I don't know.

1983
01:46:55,528 --> 01:46:57,870
you wanna go moron line?

1984
01:47:01,015 --> 01:47:01,455
I wasn't

1985
01:47:01,455 --> 01:47:03,823
calling you a moron, I thought this is funny.

1986
01:47:03,823 --> 01:47:04,737
You do

1987
01:47:08,616 --> 01:47:17,786
speaking of I have to get back to my T V pr ~ my T V spot with, you know, to catch a
predator, so yeah, I gotta get going.

1988
01:47:18,247 --> 01:47:19,067
I think he's knocking

1989
01:47:19,067 --> 01:47:20,008
right now.

1990
01:47:20,857 --> 01:47:21,167
~

1991
01:47:21,167 --> 01:47:23,004
Why don't you have a seat right there?

1992
01:47:23,563 --> 01:47:24,897
Ha ha ha.

1993
01:47:28,811 --> 01:47:30,107
bring it a full circle.

1994
01:47:30,107 --> 01:47:31,490
We have fun.

1995
01:47:31,781 --> 01:47:33,939
Sometimes sometimes it's fun.

1996
01:47:33,939 --> 01:47:37,410
Sometimes it's increasing it's very depressive.

1997
01:47:37,562 --> 01:47:38,326
Mm.

1998
01:47:42,288 --> 01:47:48,402
Okay, well don't go discourage or dis offending the bots anytime soon.

1999
01:47:48,402 --> 01:47:49,809
Are you gonna get banned?

2000
01:47:49,809 --> 01:47:50,274
Mm.

2001
01:47:50,274 --> 01:47:50,954
Don't worry.

2002
01:47:50,954 --> 01:47:56,228
~ we did did we talk about the AI super force that Trump's making?

2003
01:47:56,228 --> 01:47:58,439
With that'd be a good one for next week.

2004
01:47:58,587 --> 01:47:59,740
No, I don't think we did.

2005
01:47:59,740 --> 01:48:00,961
He's making a ~

2006
01:48:00,961 --> 01:48:05,604
he's well you can't say AI force, it's it's the super intelligent force that he's making.

2007
01:48:06,256 --> 01:48:07,247
Wow.

2008
01:48:07,971 --> 01:48:10,316
I wish I was super intelligent.

2009
01:48:12,622 --> 01:48:14,633
I think AI wishes it was a super intelligence too.

2010
01:48:14,633 --> 01:48:17,156
Like it's so stupid.

2011
01:48:18,037 --> 01:48:18,818
He has to rebrand

2012
01:48:18,818 --> 01:48:19,488
everything.

2013
01:48:19,488 --> 01:48:21,140
At least he's not calling it Trump AI.

2014
01:48:21,140 --> 01:48:23,212
It's refreshing

2015
01:48:23,212 --> 01:48:25,423
to see him not call something after himself.

2016
01:48:25,457 --> 01:48:26,343
Mm.

2017
01:48:27,045 --> 01:48:29,560
Probably because Sam Alton would get really pissed off.

2018
01:48:30,553 --> 01:48:31,885
No, dude.

2019
01:48:31,885 --> 01:48:33,698
Some Sam Altman doesn't control anything.

2020
01:48:33,698 --> 01:48:33,919
He's

2021
01:48:33,919 --> 01:48:34,940
a simp.

2022
01:48:35,523 --> 01:48:36,045
Yeah.

2023
01:48:36,045 --> 01:48:37,508
Pick me Sam.

2024
01:48:37,750 --> 01:48:38,925
Exactly.

2025
01:48:41,158 --> 01:48:44,655
Pathetic wannabe business bro, pick me Sam.

2026
01:48:46,296 --> 01:48:46,753
Well

2027
01:48:46,753 --> 01:48:47,471
Yeah.

2028
01:48:49,244 --> 01:48:50,021
with that

2029
01:48:50,021 --> 01:48:51,299
a society

2030
01:48:51,436 --> 01:48:55,510
we we live you're just stating facts now?

2031
01:48:55,510 --> 01:48:55,781
Well,

2032
01:48:55,781 --> 01:48:56,672
we used to.

2033
01:48:56,672 --> 01:48:57,953
We don't anymore.

2034
01:49:01,611 --> 01:49:04,017
I live in a society, I don't know about you guys.

2035
01:49:05,073 --> 01:49:05,440
Okay.

2036
01:49:05,440 --> 01:49:06,828
I that's fair enough.

2037
01:49:06,828 --> 01:49:07,608
ha

2038
01:49:10,198 --> 01:49:11,733
I live in an AI society.

2039
01:49:11,733 --> 01:49:14,119
All my bots, man, they all praise me.

2040
01:49:14,325 --> 01:49:15,044
Mm.

2041
01:49:15,044 --> 01:49:17,609
All the bots following me on YouTube love me.

2042
01:49:18,252 --> 01:49:19,350
Ha ha ha.

2043
01:49:19,952 --> 01:49:23,052
~ gay.

2044
01:49:23,052 --> 01:49:24,958
Should we end this high tech?

2045
01:49:25,178 --> 01:49:25,637
Yeah.

2046
01:49:25,637 --> 01:49:25,869
Yeah,

2047
01:49:25,869 --> 01:49:26,968
I think we should.

2048
01:49:26,968 --> 01:49:29,019
We've gotten totally off the rails.

2049
01:49:29,033 --> 01:49:32,627
I'm gonna start sc screaming at AI super four stuff.

2050
01:49:32,627 --> 01:49:33,248
Okay.

2051
01:49:33,248 --> 01:49:35,479
Let's end it.

2052
01:49:35,724 --> 01:49:36,441
Later.

2053
01:49:36,441 --> 01:49:36,811
Peace

2054
01:49:36,811 --> 01:49:38,242
out later.
