261 00:11:26,139 --> 00:11:29,790 Like, they, they, there are like, a lot of Sega fans who know them off 262 00:11:29,790 --> 00:11:33,010 the top of their head, but like, I don't know most of the characters 263 00:11:33,010 --> 00:11:34,770 names from most of the Sonic games. 264 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,080 Or Sega games that I've 265 00:11:36,535 --> 00:11:41,395 That said, since the last one released, a lot has changed with SEGA. 266 00:11:41,415 --> 00:11:43,675 First and foremost, SEGA bought Atlus. 267 00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:44,930 Yeah. 268 00:11:44,995 --> 00:11:47,244 And as such, Persona is 269 00:11:47,244 --> 00:11:48,355 technically SEGA. 270 00:11:48,865 --> 00:11:49,505 So, I don't, 271 00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:50,585 I was looking at that. 272 00:11:51,565 --> 00:11:52,345 That'd be interesting. 273 00:11:52,345 --> 00:11:54,565 I think the Persona series would be an interesting add to it. 274 00:11:54,615 --> 00:11:55,295 Uh, Bayonetta? 275 00:11:55,295 --> 00:12:00,615 Be interesting if you want to go If you want to go more mature. 276 00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:04,660 Yeah, Bay Yeah, and, uh, the Yakuza games, too, exploded in 277 00:12:04,660 --> 00:12:07,680 popularity, too, so, that's almost like a shoo in, too. 278 00:12:08,755 --> 00:12:10,625 But it is kind of a kidsy game, right? 279 00:12:10,635 --> 00:12:13,815 So, it'll be Like, meaning it's, it's a family oriented. 280 00:12:14,065 --> 00:12:18,195 I shouldn't say kids y. And it definitely looks like the first, 281 00:12:18,215 --> 00:12:22,065 honestly, it's the first kart racer that looks like Mario Kart competitor. 282 00:12:22,915 --> 00:12:25,105 Partially because it looks like Mario Kart, I'll be honest. 283 00:12:25,105 --> 00:12:27,805 It looks, it looks so similar to Mario Kart. 284 00:12:27,805 --> 00:12:30,994 Mmm. 285 00:12:31,155 --> 00:12:32,485 with that, honestly. 286 00:12:33,135 --> 00:12:41,575 Uh, like, the, the, it looks, to me, like, it's this weird, uh, kind of 287 00:12:41,575 --> 00:12:46,475 mishmash of, like, cartoony, but then they have, like, realistic textures in 288 00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:50,065 some of the roads and stuff, and I'm like, I don't know, like, some of it 289 00:12:50,065 --> 00:12:54,985 just looks a little, Like, N64 ish, where, like, they didn't really have 290 00:12:54,985 --> 00:12:58,365 a coherent art style for, like, Mario. 291 00:12:58,365 --> 00:13:01,565 So, like, they brought in a bunch of, like, mishmash textures. 292 00:13:02,375 --> 00:13:02,844 I don't know. 293 00:13:03,065 --> 00:13:07,245 I could be a little bit too critical, but I think some of it looks a little funky. 294 00:13:07,245 --> 00:13:12,305 Like, especially when it transforms into the, the, like, 295 00:13:12,315 --> 00:13:13,735 prehistoric world or whatever. 296 00:13:14,325 --> 00:13:17,265 Um, like, a lot of that looks a little too photo real. 297 00:13:17,724 --> 00:13:19,575 I want it to be more cartoonish. 298 00:13:20,125 --> 00:13:24,405 I think that was the point, is that it's multi, uh, universal, right? 299 00:13:24,415 --> 00:13:27,185 It's like the multiverse kind of thing, so it's meant to have, like, 300 00:13:27,305 --> 00:13:28,165 that's what it kind of looked like. 301 00:13:28,315 --> 00:13:31,545 So, depending on what universe you're in, it's going to have different details 302 00:13:31,545 --> 00:13:35,595 and stuff, which, I, if it's like that, I can respect it, but I agree, like, 303 00:13:35,595 --> 00:13:39,475 if it starts to mash things in a weird way, it could be really off putting. 304 00:13:39,950 --> 00:13:41,990 There was another game though, there was another game that was kind 305 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:43,170 of, that had this kind of issue. 306 00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:45,410 It was, uh, Jump Force. 307 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:46,970 It was like a, it 308 00:13:46,970 --> 00:13:49,730 was like a crossover of all the Shonen Jump characters, like 309 00:13:49,740 --> 00:13:52,230 Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Piece, 310 00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:53,570 Bleach, all the new ones. 311 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,940 But the problem was that, like, you know what anime looks like, but like, they 312 00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:00,230 had this like weird photorealistic style. 313 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,560 I'm sure you've seen, I'm sure you've seen it. 314 00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:06,160 I'm sure I have too, I'm just, there's so many of them, 315 00:14:06,235 --> 00:14:07,825 It's terrible. 316 00:14:08,065 --> 00:14:09,955 The, the game looks horrible. 317 00:14:11,235 --> 00:14:14,295 Um, but I mean, I have more faith that Sega will do. 318 00:14:14,295 --> 00:14:14,775 Right. 319 00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:18,855 I mean, especially if you know the theory that, you know, it's multi, it's like a 320 00:14:18,855 --> 00:14:22,785 multiverse, like some of the game, it's like some of the universes that are meant 321 00:14:22,785 --> 00:14:24,825 to look more like the photorealistic games 322 00:14:25,515 --> 00:14:25,875 Yeah. 323 00:14:25,975 --> 00:14:26,455 photo realistic 324 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:28,829 I think, I think it looks good. 325 00:14:28,980 --> 00:14:33,159 I think, honestly, I'm, I'm, I'm shocked that it actually, it looks like it's going 326 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,609 to be a real competitor to Mario Kart. 327 00:14:35,889 --> 00:14:38,740 In my opinion, like, meaning, I think this will actually sell well. 328 00:14:38,865 --> 00:14:39,345 just 329 00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:42,615 in time for Myocar nine or whatever for the switch to, 330 00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:46,060 We'll see, like, we'll see. 331 00:14:46,175 --> 00:14:50,004 one of the things that I like about this game is it has the, like, the 332 00:14:50,005 --> 00:14:52,004 different type of racing stuff. 333 00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:55,995 Like, you have the, the flight and the, the boating as well, 334 00:14:56,015 --> 00:14:58,285 which I really, I love that. 335 00:14:58,555 --> 00:15:03,860 I mean, one of my favorite games of all time is Uh, Hydro Thunder 336 00:15:03,860 --> 00:15:06,440 Hurricane for the, uh, for Xbox 360. 337 00:15:06,910 --> 00:15:10,430 I don't know if you guys ever played that, but it's just straight up boat racing. 338 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:16,370 And, uh, uh, Racing Transformed has some similar physics 339 00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:17,599 when, in the boating sections. 340 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,020 So, um, I really love the, the boating stuff. 341 00:15:21,369 --> 00:15:24,250 And, uh, Mario Kart has never done anything like that. 342 00:15:25,445 --> 00:15:27,845 That just makes me think of Wave Race on N64. 343 00:15:28,235 --> 00:15:29,835 Wave Race is good too, yeah. 344 00:15:30,325 --> 00:15:33,855 But I, I, I don't know why, but I really love racing games. 345 00:15:33,905 --> 00:15:35,005 Like, uh, I'm, 346 00:15:35,790 --> 00:15:39,920 Do you have like one of those thousand dollar like racing setups multiple 347 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,500 thousand dollar 348 00:15:40,535 --> 00:15:40,935 man. 349 00:15:41,735 --> 00:15:44,515 I have like a, I have like a 600 racing wheel setup. 350 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:46,310 dude? 351 00:15:46,350 --> 00:15:48,400 It's time to like quadruple the budget. 352 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:54,550 I have, I built it specifically so that someday I could put that on like a 353 00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:58,720 whole like simulator where it tips you back and pushes you forward and stuff. 354 00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,950 Like, I really want that 355 00:16:00,010 --> 00:16:00,380 Did you 356 00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:01,880 get one of those like vibration? 357 00:16:01,890 --> 00:16:06,320 Like, I don't know what they're called, but like the haptic feedback motors 358 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,720 were like, if you crash it, like, makes it seem like you crash in real 359 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,770 life and like, jerk your head forward. 360 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,210 The, one of the, one of the things I want is to have like the whole rig. 361 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:18,960 So like, you sit in a chair and the, the screens are on, like, on 362 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,700 this whole gimbal that can tilt you. 363 00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:23,100 So if it tilts you back, it's like you're accelerating. 364 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,225 If it tips you forward, it's like you're. 365 00:16:25,575 --> 00:16:26,805 Breaking or crashing. 366 00:16:27,045 --> 00:16:28,545 It's, it's really neat. 367 00:16:32,190 --> 00:16:32,480 want one 368 00:16:32,505 --> 00:16:33,085 don't have space 369 00:16:33,095 --> 00:16:33,645 to do the same. 370 00:16:33,850 --> 00:16:35,090 yeah, I kind of want to do one of those, 371 00:16:35,145 --> 00:16:36,395 want to build one from scratch. 372 00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:37,930 I kind of want to do one of those, but like. 373 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:40,560 You guys ever heard of a game called Steal Battalion? 374 00:16:41,930 --> 00:16:42,370 Mm hmm. 375 00:16:42,665 --> 00:16:42,995 Yeah. 376 00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:44,160 Yeah. 377 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,940 For the Xbox? 378 00:16:45,070 --> 00:16:46,570 For the X, the original Xbox? 379 00:16:46,570 --> 00:16:47,020 Yes. 380 00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:47,510 Yep. 381 00:16:48,270 --> 00:16:49,560 The problem is finding a con. 382 00:16:50,130 --> 00:16:50,880 Yeah, because 383 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,330 it's, it requires a 300 control with like buttons or so. 384 00:16:55,330 --> 00:16:56,140 I haven't played it, 385 00:16:56,630 --> 00:16:58,610 but I wi I've wanted to play it for so long. 386 00:16:59,580 --> 00:17:01,129 I remember selling that at a GameStop. 387 00:17:01,569 --> 00:17:05,079 It was, like, when we got it in, I was like, What the, what is this? 388 00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:07,090 It was crazy for its time. 389 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:08,840 dude. 390 00:17:09,310 --> 00:17:11,080 They'll never make another game like that again. 391 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,400 Alright, so before we wrap up, so Sonic Racing Cross Worlds 392 00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:17,215 Steam deck, yay or nay, what. 393 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,460 Um, Yay? 394 00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:22,460 With potentially some tweaks. 395 00:17:23,395 --> 00:17:27,294 I mean, it, it says it's coming to PS4 as well. 396 00:17:27,635 --> 00:17:28,205 So, 397 00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:30,080 Oh shit, that changes things. 398 00:17:30,815 --> 00:17:34,225 Yeah, it's definitely, I'm definitely going to say it's going 399 00:17:34,225 --> 00:17:35,245 to work on the Steam Deck for 400 00:17:35,395 --> 00:17:39,385 If it's a racing game, especially if it's not like, hitting for realism, like 401 00:17:39,385 --> 00:17:44,065 some of the racing games do, um, it's an arcade style, then most likely you 402 00:17:44,065 --> 00:17:45,305 can get it to work on the Steam Deck, 403 00:17:45,675 --> 00:17:45,995 Yeah. 404 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,090 Alright, 405 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:50,400 the next game is Digimon Story Time Stranger. 406 00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:55,630 So, I haven't seen Digimon since like, Season 3. 407 00:17:55,630 --> 00:17:58,600 I think that was like, Digimon Tamers or something like that. 408 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,170 That was on TV. 409 00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:03,294 So I don't know anything about Digimon these days. 410 00:18:03,295 --> 00:18:05,294 Yeah, 411 00:18:06,335 --> 00:18:10,935 kid's into Pokemon, so, I know Pokemon, and I don't know Digimon. 412 00:18:11,305 --> 00:18:11,665 Yeah. 413 00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:13,245 It was interesting, though. 414 00:18:13,475 --> 00:18:16,755 the RPGs look pretty slick though, the new ones they've been coming out with. 415 00:18:17,795 --> 00:18:21,855 But the big question is, when is PowerWorld gonna start making 416 00:18:21,865 --> 00:18:24,085 Digimon inspired, uh, PALs instead? 417 00:18:25,045 --> 00:18:27,555 that would be awesome, like an expansion pack. 418 00:18:28,135 --> 00:18:28,865 Dude, I would 419 00:18:28,965 --> 00:18:29,095 it? 420 00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:34,485 dude, I would kill for like a Omnimon style PAL in, uh, in, uh, in 421 00:18:34,505 --> 00:18:36,115 PowerWorld, that would be so awesome. 422 00:18:36,205 --> 00:18:37,514 Dude, 423 00:18:39,445 --> 00:18:39,735 You know, 424 00:18:39,935 --> 00:18:40,945 POW World, Gardener? 425 00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:41,635 no, 426 00:18:42,645 --> 00:18:45,205 It's, it's actually a pretty interesting game. 427 00:18:45,445 --> 00:18:48,965 Like, I, I, it's, yeah, it's Pokemon with guns. 428 00:18:48,975 --> 00:18:49,995 It's so, it's so 429 00:18:50,085 --> 00:18:53,505 I've seen people play it and it doesn't look like my kind of game. 430 00:18:53,655 --> 00:18:56,525 I think it was, I thought it was funny though, I did, I, when I 431 00:18:56,534 --> 00:18:59,855 first saw Palworld and some of the characters and I was like, People are 432 00:18:59,855 --> 00:19:03,495 saying this ripped off Pokemon, but these look more like Digimon to me. 433 00:19:04,615 --> 00:19:05,185 Hmm. 434 00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,579 Haha. 435 00:19:08,965 --> 00:19:12,485 like half of the characters are guns, and there's a, uh, and there's a Digimon 436 00:19:12,515 --> 00:19:14,515 that's like almost entirely guns. 437 00:19:14,515 --> 00:19:16,555 Gundramon, I believe it was. 438 00:19:17,135 --> 00:19:17,765 Nice. 439 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,440 At least it's original. 440 00:19:20,545 --> 00:19:21,455 Yeah, it is. 441 00:19:21,695 --> 00:19:24,804 And, uh, Digimon's story, I think it's gonna run well on Steam Deck. 442 00:19:25,115 --> 00:19:27,835 I have no reason to believe it wouldn't otherwise. 443 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:31,220 Yeah, that would be surprising if it didn't. 444 00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:34,010 But you never know how, like, they could be trying for the, uh, 445 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,750 unoptimized Olympics, I guess. 446 00:19:37,296 --> 00:19:41,246 Lost Soul Aside, one of the, one of the many Final Fantasy 447 00:19:41,246 --> 00:19:42,816 looking games on this, uh, 448 00:19:43,006 --> 00:19:43,186 Ah, 449 00:19:43,276 --> 00:19:44,066 this list. 450 00:19:44,066 --> 00:19:47,396 it's so hard, because they all actually look fairly decent. 451 00:19:48,016 --> 00:19:50,796 And so they're gonna have, like, and there's a couple of them and they 452 00:19:50,816 --> 00:19:53,856 all kind of, like, uh, get mixed up in my head and which one's which. 453 00:19:54,351 --> 00:20:01,461 Exactly, but the way they're gonna win me over is diversity of story, environment, 454 00:20:01,721 --> 00:20:05,501 and, uh, the, and how good the combat is. 455 00:20:05,541 --> 00:20:06,681 Cause I'll actually play some of these. 456 00:20:06,681 --> 00:20:08,861 I actually don't mind this style. 457 00:20:09,271 --> 00:20:13,441 As long as it's done well, and has really good aspects that 458 00:20:13,441 --> 00:20:15,661 make it stand above, um, so many. 459 00:20:16,151 --> 00:20:20,871 And it really looks like the Year of the Final Fantasy, uh, cloned aesthetic, so. 460 00:20:20,971 --> 00:20:20,981 Hm. 461 00:20:22,241 --> 00:20:23,091 It looks interesting though. 462 00:20:25,336 --> 00:20:27,536 So, I'm not sure what to make of it. 463 00:20:27,556 --> 00:20:28,736 I mean, it looks pretty fun. 464 00:20:29,456 --> 00:20:33,146 I want to see more in depth combat though, cause all of the, cause it 465 00:20:33,146 --> 00:20:36,296 looks like he was just fighting just bosses or like, I guess, bigger enemies. 466 00:20:36,886 --> 00:20:40,066 Cause it looks like he can, like, do combos and stuff in the air too. 467 00:20:40,086 --> 00:20:42,766 But if you don't have, like, small enemies to showcase all of that on, 468 00:20:42,766 --> 00:20:44,586 then What even is the point, right? 469 00:20:45,486 --> 00:20:45,636 Like 470 00:20:45,646 --> 00:20:49,556 for a Devil May Cry style game, where, I mean, You guys have 471 00:20:49,556 --> 00:20:50,666 played Devil May Cry, right? 472 00:20:51,486 --> 00:20:51,746 Yep. 473 00:20:52,281 --> 00:20:52,951 Long time ago. 474 00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:56,326 Yeah, like, Imagine if Devil May Cry was all big monsters 475 00:20:56,326 --> 00:20:57,456 that you couldn't combo off of. 476 00:20:57,466 --> 00:21:00,656 I don't think it would be super interesting, you know what I'm saying? 477 00:21:01,771 --> 00:21:02,151 hmm. 478 00:21:03,306 --> 00:21:03,836 Sweet. 479 00:21:03,836 --> 00:21:05,696 Yeah. 480 00:21:05,726 --> 00:21:06,686 mean, there are 481 00:21:06,836 --> 00:21:08,076 it looks like you could combo. 482 00:21:08,106 --> 00:21:09,716 It's just Different. 483 00:21:10,256 --> 00:21:10,956 I just, I just want to 484 00:21:10,966 --> 00:21:13,646 see more in depth combat before I make a full judgment. 485 00:21:13,756 --> 00:21:14,496 I mean, it looks cool. 486 00:21:14,496 --> 00:21:15,246 Otherwise, though, 487 00:21:15,286 --> 00:21:15,886 100%. 488 00:21:16,626 --> 00:21:20,476 uh, that, that said, it's actually a PlayStation published game, 489 00:21:20,496 --> 00:21:22,626 but it's coming to PC day one. 490 00:21:23,636 --> 00:21:27,096 May 30th, which is crazy that they don't have more game Well, I'm sure 491 00:21:27,096 --> 00:21:29,380 they'll release more gameplay before it 492 00:21:29,756 --> 00:21:30,186 yeah. 493 00:21:30,216 --> 00:21:32,306 I, I, they, they should. 494 00:21:32,306 --> 00:21:35,736 I mean, if they aren't going to them, if they're watching the podcast, be 495 00:21:35,746 --> 00:21:37,526 sure to release more in depth gameplay. 496 00:21:37,526 --> 00:21:40,596 It looks interesting, but I want to see how it stands above, because 497 00:21:40,646 --> 00:21:42,056 the trailer did not show that. 498 00:21:42,626 --> 00:21:43,316 All right. 499 00:21:43,926 --> 00:21:46,086 So, Steam Deck EA or Ney? 500 00:21:46,136 --> 00:21:47,736 I'm going to go with Ney on this one. 501 00:21:48,926 --> 00:21:49,516 Um, 502 00:21:49,706 --> 00:21:52,116 May, I mean, probably May. 503 00:21:52,136 --> 00:21:54,356 What's What's the engine it's using? 504 00:21:55,146 --> 00:21:55,706 Do we know? 505 00:21:56,006 --> 00:21:56,986 That's a big part of it. 506 00:21:56,986 --> 00:21:58,946 I'm probably gonna say nay on this too. 507 00:21:59,006 --> 00:21:59,696 I don't think it's gonna 508 00:21:59,896 --> 00:22:00,166 Yeah, I 509 00:22:00,166 --> 00:22:01,556 don't know what the end of it is. 510 00:22:01,786 --> 00:22:03,676 Well, I guess we'll figure it out, uh, later. 511 00:22:03,676 --> 00:22:07,476 Let's see, Like a Dragon, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. 512 00:22:08,206 --> 00:22:10,946 So, this game is not a new announcement. 513 00:22:10,946 --> 00:22:14,606 In fact, the game already existed, uh, was already announced. 514 00:22:14,616 --> 00:22:17,126 But, they announced the demo. 515 00:22:17,356 --> 00:22:22,066 So, uh, let's, so let's see how the demo runs on Steam Deck. 516 00:22:22,066 --> 00:22:25,526 He can run at a consistent 45 FPS, which is actually pretty neat, 517 00:22:25,576 --> 00:22:26,866 oh, wait, DeckWizard has a video. 518 00:22:26,866 --> 00:22:29,021 It, it looks like it shouldn't be. 519 00:22:29,411 --> 00:22:29,561 Uh, 520 00:22:30,361 --> 00:22:30,831 The Yakuza 521 00:22:30,881 --> 00:22:33,151 games have run pretty well on Steam Deck. 522 00:22:33,461 --> 00:22:34,361 They ha they have. 523 00:22:34,361 --> 00:22:37,181 And so if it's u if it's using the same engine, then it should run fine. 524 00:22:37,601 --> 00:22:41,036 yeah, I mean, it looks like it runs quite well, 60 FPS on the demo. 525 00:22:41,036 --> 00:22:46,121 I mean, the demo's not fully indicative of the final game, but I think that's, 526 00:22:46,211 --> 00:22:47,841 like, a pretty decent indicator. 527 00:22:49,031 --> 00:22:52,391 It's usually less optimized, so it's is a pretty good indicator. 528 00:22:53,231 --> 00:22:53,291 Okay. 529 00:22:53,471 --> 00:22:55,871 And so we're gonna go on Women and say, yes, that one's that 530 00:22:55,871 --> 00:22:57,101 looks together, run on Steam Deck. 531 00:22:57,451 --> 00:22:58,201 Uh, David, the 532 00:22:58,201 --> 00:23:01,381 diver's getting a DLC crossover with Yakuza. 533 00:23:04,281 --> 00:23:07,111 Uh, I'm not gonna lie, who wants this? 534 00:23:07,131 --> 00:23:10,421 I'm just curious, like, okay, I'm not the biggest, like, a Dragon 535 00:23:10,431 --> 00:23:14,671 fan, but I just don't know who wants this crossover with Dave the Diver. 536 00:23:14,671 --> 00:23:17,951 That's 537 00:23:18,101 --> 00:23:18,851 It's crazy. 538 00:23:18,851 --> 00:23:22,121 Like they've had a crossover with tro. 539 00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,641 You can play TRO in David the Diver, 540 00:23:25,841 --> 00:23:26,201 Mm. 541 00:23:26,421 --> 00:23:29,361 like, I don't think it's like a full version of Bala. 542 00:23:29,361 --> 00:23:29,721 'cause 543 00:23:29,871 --> 00:23:30,861 that'd be kind of insane. 544 00:23:30,861 --> 00:23:32,376 They've also had a crossover with, uh. 545 00:23:35,051 --> 00:23:38,781 They've done it with of course, naturally. 546 00:23:38,961 --> 00:23:41,921 They've also done it with Dredge, which actually makes sense. 547 00:23:42,601 --> 00:23:43,601 And Godzilla. 548 00:23:45,275 --> 00:23:45,785 God, still. 549 00:23:46,605 --> 00:23:51,585 I mean, I'm for crossovers, but Dave the Diver is like, it's a fun game, but 550 00:23:51,605 --> 00:23:55,580 I, it's not like The type of game that I'm going to be playing for crossovers, 551 00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:58,480 so I'm just, gotta be honest, like, it's a, it's kind of weird for me. 552 00:23:58,815 --> 00:23:59,525 Yeah, man. 553 00:23:59,555 --> 00:24:01,565 That, yeah, that's why you play Fortnite. 554 00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:06,035 Honestly, I think Fortnite makes sense for crossovers, and it's doing very well. 555 00:24:06,635 --> 00:24:09,145 It's a live action, it's a live service game where Dave the 556 00:24:09,145 --> 00:24:12,735 Diver really It's not, right? 557 00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:17,040 Uh, so speaking of live service games, Splitgate 2. 558 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,180 Have you guys played Splitgate? 559 00:24:18,370 --> 00:24:19,310 Like, the original one? 560 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:21,590 So, 561 00:24:21,610 --> 00:24:22,640 I've played it for a little bit. 562 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,750 It was essentially Halo with portals and jetpacks. 563 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,280 And it was also on PC, whereas Halo wasn't at the time. 564 00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:34,970 But then once the Master Chief Collection came out on PC, people just started, 565 00:24:34,970 --> 00:24:37,600 like, abandoning split game droves. 566 00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:43,740 And so this one is very similar to that, but it also has, like, 567 00:24:44,410 --> 00:24:46,100 a class system, so to speak. 568 00:24:47,470 --> 00:24:47,800 mm 569 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,485 I don't think we have too much detail too many details on, like Anything but, 570 00:24:51,515 --> 00:24:55,485 like, three of the classes, but, like, I'm not sure how I feel about that. 571 00:24:56,255 --> 00:24:59,455 Classes in, like, what should be, like, an otherwise Halo like experience. 572 00:24:59,455 --> 00:25:03,165 It's I think classes can actually really help, depending on 573 00:25:03,165 --> 00:25:04,315 what you're trying to go for. 574 00:25:04,545 --> 00:25:11,640 And so with this type of game, it's It's really hard to say if this is interesting 575 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,040 enough for me, because once you introduce portals into a multiplayer game, it 576 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:19,580 starts to get a little too complicated for me, as a casual player these days. 577 00:25:20,525 --> 00:25:20,995 Yeah, so 578 00:25:20,995 --> 00:25:25,165 all of the, all of the, uh, classes have access to the same 579 00:25:25,175 --> 00:25:27,835 portal and jetpack mechanics. 580 00:25:27,835 --> 00:25:28,944 I 581 00:25:29,855 --> 00:25:32,425 Is it just like heavy, light, like is it just 582 00:25:34,445 --> 00:25:36,055 Or do they have abilities? 583 00:25:36,065 --> 00:25:38,435 Cause I've watched the trailer, I just don't remember 584 00:25:38,505 --> 00:25:41,115 glasses being the highlight. 585 00:25:41,925 --> 00:25:44,455 don't know for certain. 586 00:25:44,525 --> 00:25:47,315 I mean, it's gonna be a free to play game, I think we'll figure out eventually. 587 00:25:47,535 --> 00:25:49,605 But, yeah, I don't know for certain. 588 00:25:50,565 --> 00:25:52,765 Do you guys think this'll run on Steam Deck? 589 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,880 I don't think so. 590 00:25:55,565 --> 00:25:57,485 It would run on the Steam Deck if they allow it. 591 00:25:58,285 --> 00:25:58,865 Yeah, 592 00:25:58,970 --> 00:26:01,970 I, the, the first game had Linux support, didn't it? 593 00:26:02,455 --> 00:26:03,485 I believe so. 594 00:26:04,285 --> 00:26:04,935 I believe so, yeah, 595 00:26:04,935 --> 00:26:05,575 you could play. 596 00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:07,435 doesn't mean they won't, uh, pull it. 597 00:26:07,865 --> 00:26:08,250 I know. 598 00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:09,215 You never know. 599 00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:13,500 could, yeah, I agree, they could, but it would suck if they did. 600 00:26:14,595 --> 00:26:15,005 Agreed. 601 00:26:15,125 --> 00:26:16,445 I, I think it, I think it would play. 602 00:26:16,555 --> 00:26:20,705 It's just, a competitive shooter on the Steam Deck's just It's 603 00:26:21,195 --> 00:26:22,835 it's UE5 though, right? 604 00:26:22,835 --> 00:26:25,665 Like that's why I'm saying I don't think it will work very well. 605 00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:26,740 Oh, is it UE5? 606 00:26:27,425 --> 00:26:27,755 I think 607 00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:30,620 Oh, well then nevermind, I don't think I would run that while on Steam, Nick. 608 00:26:31,255 --> 00:26:32,395 Okay, hold up, guys. 609 00:26:32,405 --> 00:26:34,815 Like, UE5 games can run fine on the Steam Deck. 610 00:26:34,815 --> 00:26:35,545 It just depends. 611 00:26:37,865 --> 00:26:40,345 I've played, I've played, I've played, I've played a few. 612 00:26:40,435 --> 00:26:42,575 I've played plenty of UE5 games. 613 00:26:42,575 --> 00:26:43,995 It just depends on what kind it is. 614 00:26:44,925 --> 00:26:45,495 On the Steam Deck. 615 00:26:45,975 --> 00:26:46,375 I don't know. 616 00:26:46,395 --> 00:26:49,275 I feel like UE5 is not optimized for handhelds. 617 00:26:50,945 --> 00:26:53,815 Uh, it's not well enough. 618 00:26:53,845 --> 00:26:58,065 It's, it's architecture's not as designed more for future facing. 619 00:26:58,355 --> 00:26:58,735 But yeah. 620 00:26:58,735 --> 00:26:59,155 Yes. 621 00:26:59,230 --> 00:27:01,780 agree, like, it's not the best for, for handhelds. 622 00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:02,520 No. 623 00:27:04,805 --> 00:27:08,995 Yeah, I don't know, man, it's I'm not sure, at this point. 624 00:27:09,145 --> 00:27:12,255 I'm gonna go on a whim and say, I'm gonna be on the safe side and say no. 625 00:27:12,315 --> 00:27:17,175 But I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did work well. 626 00:27:18,215 --> 00:27:18,595 So, 627 00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:21,260 uh, it's gonna work fine with FSR. 628 00:27:21,670 --> 00:27:23,880 You might not be able to see anything, but you'll be, it'll be fine. 629 00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:24,460 You'll get 630 00:27:24,545 --> 00:27:25,955 God, I hate 631 00:27:26,102 --> 00:27:27,907 ha ha ha! 632 00:27:27,955 --> 00:27:30,735 I cannot stand FSR Shimmer for the life of me. 633 00:27:31,375 --> 00:27:31,925 Yeah. 634 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:33,380 Ah, I'm fine with it. 635 00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:34,850 But I wouldn't want it in my competitive. 636 00:27:35,315 --> 00:27:35,865 Yeah. 637 00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:37,090 it has to be optimized. 638 00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:39,210 It 639 00:27:40,875 --> 00:27:42,805 Does anyone care about this game here? 640 00:27:45,410 --> 00:27:46,920 interesting, to say the least. 641 00:27:47,265 --> 00:27:49,375 me a No Mercy remake and I'll be interested. 642 00:27:49,665 --> 00:27:49,865 Yeah, I 643 00:27:49,865 --> 00:27:53,235 think, I think they, uh, Wrestling games peaked in the GameCube era. 644 00:27:53,435 --> 00:27:54,105 To be honest. 645 00:27:54,605 --> 00:27:58,015 No, they, no, they peaked in the N64 era. 646 00:27:58,435 --> 00:27:59,455 That's my opinion. 647 00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:04,210 I don't play these types of games. 648 00:28:04,210 --> 00:28:06,540 I think the last one was like on a Sega or a Nintendo, 649 00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:09,055 Yeah, the, uh, yeah, we don't, I don't 650 00:28:09,055 --> 00:28:09,795 play these anymore. 651 00:28:10,285 --> 00:28:14,345 I remember playing Wrestlemania, the arcade game, and that was pretty fun. 652 00:28:14,985 --> 00:28:20,665 And I remember playing No Mercy on the N64 and that was, that was amazing. 653 00:28:21,035 --> 00:28:25,415 It had like the, I mean, that was back when WWF had like the best roster anyway. 654 00:28:26,065 --> 00:28:31,395 Um, but yeah, now, I actually really like wrestling, I'm not gonna lie. 655 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,830 No, that's, and that's great. 656 00:28:32,830 --> 00:28:35,970 Like, honestly, this, like, for big wrestling fans, this game actually 657 00:28:35,970 --> 00:28:39,890 looks kind of fun for them because it has, like, you wander around, uh, 658 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560 like a Hello Kitty kind of inspired island where you get to buy stuff. 659 00:28:44,115 --> 00:28:44,705 Oh, really? 660 00:28:45,125 --> 00:28:46,125 I, I guess I missed this, 661 00:28:46,550 --> 00:28:48,960 I had to throw that jab out for people. 662 00:28:49,675 --> 00:28:51,065 I guess I missed this trailer. 663 00:28:51,065 --> 00:28:51,915 Wait, let me, let me 664 00:28:52,025 --> 00:28:52,975 You might have missed it. 665 00:28:53,135 --> 00:28:57,045 Uh, yeah, if you're a big WWE fan, like, you might like it because it literally is 666 00:28:57,045 --> 00:29:02,995 an island with different sections with, like, different, uh, characters, almost, 667 00:29:03,055 --> 00:29:05,145 So it's like the single player campaign, right? 668 00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:11,775 Yeah, but it's, I think it supports up to, like, 60 players in that 669 00:29:11,775 --> 00:29:13,155 area or 30 or something like that. 670 00:29:13,395 --> 00:29:16,625 Like, so it's like, it's not single player, but it's, it's kind of like 671 00:29:16,625 --> 00:29:19,575 what some fighters have done in the past where you can have, like, a big lobby. 672 00:29:19,945 --> 00:29:20,555 Oh, 673 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,370 And a bunch of people could be wandering around shopping and everything. 674 00:29:24,635 --> 00:29:24,815 I 675 00:29:25,185 --> 00:29:27,325 this doesn't, this doesn't look interesting to me. 676 00:29:27,910 --> 00:29:32,890 Um, The, the theme sections looked like it, they, honestly it looked 677 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,330 like a step forward for this type of franchise for, for me, but it's, I, 678 00:29:38,810 --> 00:29:45,210 I find the sport or the entertainment aspect of it interesting, but I just 679 00:29:45,210 --> 00:29:47,030 didn't, I didn't watch it as a kid, so 680 00:29:47,675 --> 00:29:48,285 Yeah. 681 00:29:48,645 --> 00:29:54,075 I, I watched a lot of wrestling and football when I was a kid. 682 00:29:55,515 --> 00:30:00,595 But like anything with Roman Reigns as the freaking face of it, I have zero interest. 683 00:30:01,405 --> 00:30:04,145 Like, I just don't, I find him the most obnoxious. 684 00:30:04,845 --> 00:30:05,925 But Paul Heyman's cool. 685 00:30:05,945 --> 00:30:06,355 I don't know. 686 00:30:06,425 --> 00:30:08,865 Do you guys, do you guys know anything about wrestling? 687 00:30:09,335 --> 00:30:09,525 Like 688 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:09,850 know the 689 00:30:10,045 --> 00:30:11,075 not anymore. 690 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,145 know, I know, I know the names, that's about it. 691 00:30:14,225 --> 00:30:18,795 I remember when I remember when the undertaker wasn't retired and he had 692 00:30:18,795 --> 00:30:22,345 this whole gimmick where he was basically like an undead necromancer kind of guy 693 00:30:22,935 --> 00:30:23,655 and he could just. 694 00:30:23,925 --> 00:30:24,355 Yeah. 695 00:30:25,605 --> 00:30:25,955 And he 696 00:30:25,965 --> 00:30:28,945 dies in the stage, and then he comes 697 00:30:28,945 --> 00:30:29,875 back to life. 698 00:30:29,925 --> 00:30:31,025 They should do more of that. 699 00:30:31,035 --> 00:30:31,945 That's so awesome. 700 00:30:32,465 --> 00:30:35,925 It used to be fun and wacky, and now it's just like, 701 00:30:36,475 --> 00:30:37,335 Dudes like 702 00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:38,265 smacking each other. 703 00:30:39,945 --> 00:30:40,435 I don't know. 704 00:30:40,435 --> 00:30:43,685 I, I, dude, Undertaker was my favorite character. 705 00:30:43,715 --> 00:30:49,630 Like, he literally And Uh, and then Mick Foley, and then, uh, Mankind. 706 00:30:49,650 --> 00:30:51,210 He was, he was my favorite. 707 00:30:51,820 --> 00:30:53,390 But, anyway. 708 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,060 We're getting off topic. 709 00:30:55,545 --> 00:30:56,075 we are. 710

high scoring game or not, I don't know 737 00:31:25,035 --> 00:31:27,305 if that qualifies as a quote unquote 738 00:31:27,530 --> 00:31:32,610 Uh, well, that was a high disparity score for sure. 739 00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:36,610 Like it was, it was like four, it was like, it ended up 20 to 40 740 00:31:36,610 --> 00:31:37,940 or something like that, which is 741 00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:40,180 Oh my gosh, that's really high disparity. 742 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,270 You're right, you're not 743 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,630 for most of the game, like the Eagles were ahead by like two touchdowns at least. 744 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:46,700 Really? 745 00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:47,210 Okay. 746 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,820 Kansas city, I don't think Kansas city scored until the third

sacked, uh, the, the chiefs quarterback like six times in the game. 755 00:32:06,855 --> 00:32:08,115 It was insane, dude. 756 00:32:08,745 --> 00:32:12,515 And, and then Mahomes threw three interceptions. 757 00:32:13,265 --> 00:32:14,445 It was anyway. 758 00:32:14,445 --> 00:32:14,805 Sorry. 759 00:32:15,070 --> 00:32:16,030 No, you're, you're good. 760 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,945 I, I My family is big into football, and I don't care. 761 00:32:20,945 --> 00:32:25,145 I like the, I like the commercials, but this year I didn't even pay attention. 762 00:32:26,085 --> 00:32:28,345 I didn't know who won until just now, when you 763 00:32:28,465 --> 00:32:31,685 I was so excited to watch the Superbowl because. 764 00:32:32,085 --> 00:32:35,875 Last year, the last, I don't know, 25 minutes of the game was 765 00:32:35,875 --> 00:32:38,585 probably the most exciting game of football I've ever watched. 766 00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:42,605 And then I was like really excited because the Chiefs were back, uh, and 767 00:32:42,615 --> 00:32:44,065 the Eagles were doing well this year. 768 00:32:44,255 --> 00:32:47,675 And then the Eagles absolutely slaughtered the Chiefs, and I was 769 00:32:47,675 --> 00:32:49,605 like, how is that even possible? 770 00:32:50,005 --> 00:32:52,725 But it was, it was fun, even though I was cheering for the Chiefs because 771 00:32:52,725 --> 00:32:53,885 I used to live in Kansas City. 772 00:32:54,395 --> 00:32:58,565 But, uh, aw, dude, it was, ugh, anyway, sorry. 773 00:32:59,095 --> 00:32:59,265 Ha 774 00:32:59,625 --> 00:33:00,824 Now that's 775 00:33:00,975 --> 00:33:03,165 to be honest, I'm not really much of a sports watcher, 776 00:33:03,195 --> 00:33:05,005 neither of my brothers, but when 777 00:33:05,005 --> 00:33:07,075 there's money on the line, they'll watch it. 778 00:33:08,745 --> 00:33:09,485 Oh my gosh! 779 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,230 It's, it's, it's such an Asian thing to do, let's be honest. 780

it'll run on Steam Deck? 783 00:33:23,910 --> 00:33:27,680 I'm gonna say a surprising yes, because the last games, uh, 784 00:33:27,730 --> 00:33:30,760 according to DeckWizard's videos, ran pretty well, I would say. 785 00:33:31,605 --> 00:33:31,905 Yeah. 786 00:33:31,965 --> 00:33:33,685 Even this one has a PS4 version. 787 00:33:35,155 --> 00:33:35,275 That 788 00:33:35,275 --> 00:33:35,875 changes things. 789 00:33:35,875 --> 00:33:37,525 So it's gonna be an absolute yes. 790 00:33:38,365 --> 00:33:38,725 No. 791 00:33:39,210 --> 00:33:43,430 we're going to PS4 versions of everything when we have a PS7. 792 00:33:45,035 --> 00:33:45,695 Hey, that mean 793 00:33:45,695 --> 00:33:45,815 that 794 00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:46,020 that. 795 00:33:46,175 --> 00:33:48,125 this theme that one can live a little longer. 796 00:33:48,125 --> 00:33:49,235 I want the Steam Deck too, though. 797 00:33:49,275 --> 00:33:49,785 Okay. 798 00:33:50,275 --> 00:33:52,715 But what I want Well, actually, I don't want it more. 799 00:33:52,715 --> 00:33:54,575 But the next one is Borderlands 4. 800 00:33:54,585 --> 00:33:56,365 And this one I am excited for. 801 00:33:56,595 --> 00:33:58,345 Like, quite excited for. 802 00:33:58,965 --> 00:34:01,295 Um, Borderlands series is like, my jam. 803 00:34:01,325 --> 00:34:06,085 Partially because me and my wife Susie play Uh, like to play at co op. 804 00:34:06,275 --> 00:34:08,875 Like, it's one of the games that we play, like, for date nights and stuff like that. 805 00:34:08,875 --> 00:34:09,655 And it's really fun. 806 00:34:10,355 --> 00:34:15,770 Um And we really liked 2 and 3, we really had a fun time, uh, 807 00:34:16,030 --> 00:34:16,986 playing through all of that. 808 00:34:16,986 --> 00:34:19,700 And Borderlands 4 looks like an upgrade in every way. 809 00:34:20,210 --> 00:34:25,930 Except for, I have no freaking clue what's going on in the story in it, so. 810 00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:30,810 And they really gotta do better with these trailers of actually like, Instead of 811 00:34:30,910 --> 00:34:35,290 showcasing like, uh, or like, revealing too much, But at least showcasing 812 00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:36,870 something that's like a good hook. 813 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,860 And I just haven't been seeing hooks as much lately with trailers. 814 00:34:40,695 --> 00:34:42,315 Well, the art of making a good, oh, sorry. 815 00:34:42,315 --> 00:34:43,005 Go ahead Gardner. 816 00:34:43,995 --> 00:34:46,555 was just gonna say I'm not a huge Borderlands fan, like I've played it 817 00:34:46,555 --> 00:34:49,819 a few times, but I will applaud them for actually having a PS4 version. 818 00:34:50,450 --> 00:34:54,300 An art style and sticking with it and not being afraid of having an art 819 00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,240 style like a lot of games nowadays 820 00:34:56,925 --> 00:34:57,345 So I will 821 00:34:57,345 --> 00:35:02,485 say making a trailer is a bit of a lost, a especially one that, that hooks you 822 00:35:02,485 --> 00:35:05,965 in without spoiling too much because they've been spoiling like plot points 823 00:35:05,965 --> 00:35:09,385 for things for a long, long time, like the new Captain American movie. 824 00:35:10,495 --> 00:35:13,765 So, uh, everyone knows if you watched a trailer that, uh. 825 00:35:14,155 --> 00:35:17,595 Harrison Ford turns into the Red Hulk, but in the movie, that's 826 00:35:17,595 --> 00:35:19,125 supposed to be like a third act twist. 827 00:35:20,925 --> 00:35:22,795 So, yeah, spoilers. 828 00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:27,105 Spoiler alerts if you haven't watched the movie or, I mean, the trailer. 829 00:35:27,135 --> 00:35:27,585 trailer. 830 00:35:28,095 --> 00:35:29,835 The trailer, if you haven't watched the trailer. 831 00:35:30,635 --> 00:35:31,515 And that really pisses me 832 00:35:31,515 --> 00:35:32,055 off, so. 833 00:35:32,675 --> 00:35:33,005 Yeah. 834 00:35:33,045 --> 00:35:35,415 yeah, I really hate that type of stuff. 835 00:35:35,425 --> 00:35:39,175 You got to have some feel like if you're going to it makes us. 836 00:35:39,175 --> 00:35:39,965 I don't want to watch it. 837 00:35:39,965 --> 00:35:40,675 I'm like, okay, cool. 838 00:35:40,675 --> 00:35:41,635 I can watch it from my home. 839 00:35:41,635 --> 00:35:41,785 Now. 840 00:35:41,785 --> 00:35:46,815 Like I don't have the surprise if it's a movie if it's a game if you don't have 841 00:35:46,815 --> 00:35:51,775 a hook for me, like a very intriguing what makes your game different. 842 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,030 Uh, then I'm not going to buy your game. 843 00:35:56,030 --> 00:35:59,930 I'm going to wait for reviews or maybe just pass on it because there's so much 844 00:35:59,940 --> 00:36:04,010 competition nowadays and Borderlands four, the name alone is going to 845 00:36:04,010 --> 00:36:07,000 get me to buy it, but the trailer. 846 00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:09,270 Didn't give me a big enough hook. 847 00:36:09,330 --> 00:36:12,140 Now that being said, they've upgraded I didn't know how they were gonna 848 00:36:12,140 --> 00:36:16,270 be able to upgrade this art style of like cel shaded, cartoon esque look. 849 00:36:16,620 --> 00:36:17,130 But they did. 850 00:36:17,130 --> 00:36:18,980 They added like, it made it more edgy. 851 00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:21,230 I don't know what they did with the shadowing around the edges, 852 00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:25,260 but like, it looks like a true upgrade to what Borderlands, 853 00:36:26,475 --> 00:36:26,675 Yeah, 854 00:36:26,675 --> 00:36:26,775 cause, 855 00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:28,240 has been in the past. 856 00:36:29,045 --> 00:36:33,365 like Borderlands 3, you know, despite being a generation ahead of Borderlands 857 00:36:33,365 --> 00:36:35,795 2, kinda mostly looked like Borderlands 2. 858 00:36:36,285 --> 00:36:37,195 Which is not a bad thing. 859 00:36:37,835 --> 00:36:39,365 Not a bad thing, Borderlands 2 was really good. 860 00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:44,635 But, it didn't look super next gen. And this, this game does. 861 00:36:45,105 --> 00:36:45,475 Also, one 862 00:36:45,475 --> 00:36:46,055 more thing, too. 863 00:36:46,085 --> 00:36:49,455 Let's talk about the writing in these games, because I remember 864 00:36:49,455 --> 00:36:53,665 Borderlands 2 was really funny, but then I read that one green text post 865 00:36:53,665 --> 00:36:55,665 from 4chan about Gearboxes, right? 866 00:36:55,675 --> 00:36:56,365 Have you read this? 867 00:36:57,950 --> 00:36:58,140 Oh my 868 00:36:58,240 --> 00:36:59,010 For 4chan? 869 00:36:59,490 --> 00:37:01,130 I don't take much credit for 4chan. 870 00:37:01,175 --> 00:37:01,722 Hold 871 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,289 But yeah, go for it. 872 00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:06,600 Okay. 873 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,459 It's a No, no, no. 874 00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:10,540 But it's This one's actually This one's actually super, 875 00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:12,230 like, accurate and on point. 876 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:13,350 Let's see. 877 00:37:13,350 --> 00:37:13,560 Here's 878 00:37:13,860 --> 00:37:14,430 what they said. 879 00:37:14,430 --> 00:37:16,290 They said, I can't stand the writing. 880 00:37:16,290 --> 00:37:18,120 It feels like it gets worse with every Gearbox game. 881 00:37:18,130 --> 00:37:21,260 They can't go one month without stuffing it full of ironic 882 00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:23,430 observations as their form of jokes. 883 00:37:23,710 --> 00:37:26,600 Like, they have an insecure 12 year old filter for everything. 884 00:37:26,670 --> 00:37:31,440 If you can get some fuel canisters, then I can reactivate the main 885 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,700 generator to get our shields back up. 886 00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:34,200 I'd mark the objective on your map. 887 00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:35,250 Alright, that's normal line. 888 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,250 Gearbox line. 889 00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:39,880 Hey, buddy, great job killing all those mutants and all. 890 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,790 You're, you're really good at that. 891 00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:43,009 Shooting things, that is. 892 00:37:43,090 --> 00:37:48,260 One problemo though, it turns out a bunch of, it turns out a bunch of monsters on 893 00:37:48,270 --> 00:37:51,120 the planet are gonna tear our eyes out if we don't get that shield back up. 894 00:37:51,390 --> 00:37:54,450 And this is just my opinion, but that's gonna suck. 895 00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:56,400 Not having eyes sounds terrible. 896 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,030 Like, how am I supposed to read my collection of bodacious space 897 00:37:59,070 --> 00:38:00,750 babes without flippin eyeballs? 898 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,900 Here's my brilliant plan that I got written here on this napkin. 899 00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:08,250 this generator thing, you follow me? 900 00:38:08,650 --> 00:38:10,410 And it needs gas. 901 00:38:10,460 --> 00:38:11,180 Who knew? 902 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,550 So, maybe you can go out and fetch some canisters, and then 903 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,220 we can get the generator running. 904 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,640 And then the shield will go up back up, and we won't have, and we won't get 905 00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,770 horribly, horribly viciously murdered. 906 00:38:24,140 --> 00:38:25,090 Doesn't that sound great? 907 00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:25,910 I know, right? 908 00:38:26,050 --> 00:38:29,640 So, since I did most of the work with the plan, I was thinking you can do 909 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,070 the last step and get the canisters. 910 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,270 If you see any monsters, shoot them in the face or something. 911 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,240 Oh, and one more tip, try not to get killed. 912 00:38:35,695 --> 00:38:37,345 That'll put a wrench in this plan. 913 00:38:37,445 --> 00:38:38,375 Metaphorically, that is. 914 00:38:38,405 --> 00:38:39,095 Not literally. 915 00:38:39,305 --> 00:38:41,205 I hate when people misuse the term literally. 916 00:38:41,225 --> 00:38:43,165 It drives me figuratively insane. 917 00:38:43,455 --> 00:38:46,515 Anyways, I'll just be here cowering in my bunker while you go do that. 918 00:38:46,545 --> 00:38:47,885 Go team badass! 919 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,139 Yeah Yeah 920 00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:55,650 it's not. 921 00:38:55,660 --> 00:38:59,570 Like, that sounds like, honestly, that sounds close to what would it be. 922 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:05,155 Here's my thing though, and this is, I Okay, are you going to play 923 00:39:05,155 --> 00:39:07,025 a game with that first content? 924 00:39:07,085 --> 00:39:10,095 Like with that first text like that first story bit? 925 00:39:10,105 --> 00:39:12,955 No, you're not gonna play someone that says like I've played games like that. 926 00:39:12,965 --> 00:39:15,455 They suck horribly when they're too to the point. 927 00:39:15,465 --> 00:39:20,455 You gotta have some character that being said Borderlands takes a little too far 928 00:39:20,455 --> 00:39:22,875 at times and you saying that high tech. 929 00:39:23,925 --> 00:39:25,785 Definitely I'm like, is that from the game or not? 930 00:39:26,025 --> 00:39:29,965 Cause they have some characters that have that like, bodacious style of 931 00:39:29,965 --> 00:39:37,775 talking And it's fine, but they go too over the top, they go too far And 932 00:39:37,775 --> 00:39:41,555 that's the problem with them, is that they gotta rein that in a little bit 933 00:39:42,340 --> 00:39:47,095 like it would be one thing If there were characters that talked that 934 00:39:47,095 --> 00:39:52,145 way, but, like, it's most of the game that talks that way, right? 935 00:39:52,185 --> 00:39:56,495 And, like, and, like, that's, to me, that's like a, there's a lack of 936 00:39:56,495 --> 00:39:58,775 sincerity to, to that kind of thing. 937 00:39:59,065 --> 00:40:03,255 And there's an insecurity of the writer that comes through with 938 00:40:03,255 --> 00:40:04,915 that kind of, like, dialogue. 939 00:40:05,305 --> 00:40:08,985 Uh, or they have to point out, like, oh, this is ironic and 940 00:40:08,985 --> 00:40:10,645 we're not playing a serious game. 941 00:40:10,775 --> 00:40:14,065 Like, you know, there's a place for that, but, like, I just, I find it obnoxious. 942 00:40:14,555 --> 00:40:15,035 Yeah. 943 00:40:15,075 --> 00:40:15,275 It's, 944 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,040 one of the reasons I'm not huge on that game. 945 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,899 Yeah. 946 00:40:20,255 --> 00:40:26,500 uh Uh, moments and even dialogue and there's a lot of parts that are not 947 00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:31,350 the problem is is they don't they need to figure out this melding of the two 948 00:40:31,350 --> 00:40:34,570 and that's where the art and where the like the craft comes into like a 949 00:40:34,570 --> 00:40:40,180 master craft so I agree but I will not like I don't agree that like that's how 950 00:40:40,180 --> 00:40:45,390 most the game is uh there's a lot of aspects of it both but I'm not gonna 951 00:40:45,390 --> 00:40:50,700 go to like this is a game where I fully agree like it has It's a co op game. 952 00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:54,480 It has lots of guns, it has some silly parts that I enjoy, and 953 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,020 that's what I'm here for, but 954 00:40:56,210 --> 00:40:59,450 the writers have promised that they'll rein in some of that dialogue, 955 00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:05,048 and that there won't be any jokes about Hawktua, or Skippity Toilet, and I am 956 00:41:05,048 --> 00:41:09,230 inclined to believe that some rogue writer at Gearbox is going to do 957 00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:12,123 exactly just that, just to piss off the head writer, because that 958 00:41:12,123 --> 00:41:13,670 would be so funny if they did that. 959 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:14,850 Mm. 960 00:41:15,060 --> 00:41:16,590 quest, I don't care, like, do it. 961 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,660 Like, that's the, that's where they need to do it. 962 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,890 Side quests, where you don't, like, it doesn't matter to the main 963 00:41:21,890 --> 00:41:23,380 story, throw some of that stuff in. 964 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,420 Hawktooth, I don't care. 965 00:41:24,890 --> 00:41:25,600 Skibbity toilet. 966 00:41:27,340 --> 00:41:27,920 Okay. 967 00:41:28,180 --> 00:41:28,430 uh, 968 00:41:28,890 --> 00:41:30,020 To be fair though, this is like, 969 00:41:30,030 --> 00:41:33,400 one of those, yeah, to be fair though, this is like one of those games where 970 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,820 like I'm not gonna remember the story. 971 00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:37,560 Like, fucking Diablo. 972 00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:38,770 Like, I played the Shadow 973 00:41:38,770 --> 00:41:39,540 of Diablo before. 974 00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:42,500 I couldn't tell you a thing that happens in both the game and the DLC though. 975 00:41:43,050 --> 00:41:44,070 Cause, we all know. 976 00:41:44,070 --> 00:41:45,160 what we're really there for. 977 00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:46,560 We're really there for the loot. 978 00:41:46,790 --> 00:41:48,110 And the guns, or I guess, 979 00:41:48,270 --> 00:41:51,120 The loot sucks so bad in 3, though. 980 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,770 That's why I'm hoping it's better, because you'd finish like a major 981 00:41:53,770 --> 00:41:55,620 boss, and all the loot sucks. 982 00:41:55,630 --> 00:41:55,910 Sorry. 983 00:41:56,140 --> 00:41:58,770 This is like a series I put a lot of time into. 984 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,920 Borderlands 2 has a really good story. 985 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,710 Borderlands 1 has a horrible story, for the most part. 986 00:42:03,710 --> 00:42:04,530 Like, it's just not great. 987 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,480 Borderlands 3 has a, like, eh, 988 00:42:06,050 --> 00:42:08,990 Yeah, Borderlands 2 was only carried by a handsome jack. 989 00:42:09,010 --> 00:42:11,050 But anyways, Borderlands 4, 990 00:42:11,110 --> 00:42:11,940 It was still good. 991 00:42:12,060 --> 00:42:13,580 do we think it'll run on Steam Deck? 992 00:42:14,810 --> 00:42:15,300 Yes. 993 00:42:15,830 --> 00:42:16,290 Yeah. 994 00:42:16,470 --> 00:42:17,060 Yeah. 995 00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:21,890 The other ones run, I think, fairly decent on the Steam Deck. 996 00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:26,150 This one's upgrade and it's, like, graphics could prevent it. 997 00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:28,150 So I'm gonna put on a maybe. 998 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,030 It might, it depends. 999 00:42:30,830 --> 00:42:34,070 I mean, Borderla the, the other Borderlands have, uh, 1000 00:42:34,170 --> 00:42:36,290 native Linux clients for them. 1001 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,110 So, I would imagine, if they follow through with that, then there 1002 00:42:40,110 --> 00:42:41,750 might, there might be a chance. 1003 00:42:42,535 --> 00:42:43,575 It really depends on the engine. 1004 00:42:43,585 --> 00:42:45,545 The other ones are all using Unreal, right? 1005 00:42:45,590 --> 00:42:47,510 It's, yeah, it's gonna be Unreal 5. 1006 00:42:47,870 --> 00:42:51,490 That's probably one of the reasons why it has, um, it looks better. 1007 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:56,030 But it's Unreal 5, so Oh, 1008 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,840 fine, I'm gonna go on um, yes. 1009 00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:02,500 Cause it's not like, super graphically demanding, so I'm just 1010 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:03,760 gonna go on a web and say yeah. 1011 00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:08,150 Now, Split Fiction, the newest game by Joseph Fares. 1012 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,780 The guy that said fuck the Oscars at the Game Awards like a number of years ago. 1013 00:43:11,905 --> 00:43:12,035 hmm. 1014 00:43:14,045 --> 00:43:14,415 Yeah. 1015 00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:17,580 So, thoughts on these games. 1016 00:43:18,770 --> 00:43:19,880 Thoughts on this new one? 1017 00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:22,590 I'm not sure I'm not sure I'm feeling this one to be honest. 1018 00:43:23,835 --> 00:43:28,455 I mean, the, the, the woman in the blue, uh, Mega Man armor kind of turns 1019 00:43:28,475 --> 00:43:30,345 me off a little bit from the game. 1020 00:43:31,195 --> 00:43:33,495 Just, like, it just, she looks like she's Mega Man. 1021 00:43:33,645 --> 00:43:34,125 I don't know. 1022 00:43:34,810 --> 00:43:35,380 Dude, Megaman's 1023 00:43:35,390 --> 00:43:35,880 awesome. 1024 00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:37,950 We were gonna talk about Megaman last week, but 1025 00:43:38,250 --> 00:43:38,900 we ran out of 1026 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,030 no, nothing, nothing against Mega Man, it's just like, I don't 1027 00:43:42,030 --> 00:43:43,780 understand the art style here. 1028 00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:47,940 the art style is that there's multiple, so it's split fiction, so one of them 1029 00:43:47,980 --> 00:43:52,040 is uh, a fantasy writer, the other one's a sci fi writer, so you're 1030 00:43:52,340 --> 00:43:55,670 going in and out of their different stories, and I actually really like 1031 00:43:55,670 --> 00:43:58,070 that concept a lot, and it's co op. 1032 00:43:58,650 --> 00:43:58,980 Yeah. 1033 00:43:59,330 --> 00:44:06,150 they're the same guy, uh, developers that made, um, It Takes Two, uh, 1034 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,090 which is a really good game actually. 1035 00:44:08,230 --> 00:44:11,619 Yeah. 1036 00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:16,060 I played it with Emily, but the animations were all like, mocap, 1037 00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:18,970 like, backyardigans looking bullshit. 1038 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:19,520 I was like, 1039 00:44:19,700 --> 00:44:23,770 It's definitely, yeah, it can be a little frustrating. 1040 00:44:23,780 --> 00:44:26,870 For me, anytime I can get a co op game to play with my kids 1041 00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:29,240 or my wife, I'm here for it. 1042 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,340 So, I wanna support it by, uh, I wanna get it like day one, just 1043 00:44:34,350 --> 00:44:36,330 to support the vision of having, 1044 00:44:36,890 --> 00:44:37,780 Good stuff. 1045 00:44:37,940 --> 00:44:38,450 Yeah. 1046 00:44:38,450 --> 00:44:38,630 Yeah. 1047 00:44:38,630 --> 00:44:38,809 Yeah. 1048 00:44:38,860 --> 00:44:39,110 thing. 1049 00:44:39,630 --> 00:44:39,950 Yeah. 1050 00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:41,810 Yeah, I mean, it 1051 00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:42,840 is interesting. 1052 00:44:43,060 --> 00:44:45,760 One of the things I like about these games is that when you buy 1053 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,390 one copy, you can also, like, share it with someone else, so to speak. 1054 00:44:50,430 --> 00:44:52,710 Like, not just family, not like family sharing, but like, 1055 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,970 the other person can download, like, a demo version of the game that connects 1056 00:44:56,970 --> 00:44:58,390 to, like, the full game itself. 1057 00:44:58,450 --> 00:44:59,340 And you can just play 1058 00:44:59,340 --> 00:45:01,580 off of your copy and not have to buy two copies. 1059 00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:02,830 Hmm. 1060 00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:05,080 kind of bullshit if you had to buy two copies of this game to, 1061 00:45:05,090 --> 00:45:06,470 like, play it with someone online. 1062 00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:07,850 Especially if it's, 1063 00:45:07,850 --> 00:45:08,000 like, 1064 00:45:08,060 --> 00:45:09,250 lot of games that do that, though. 1065 00:45:09,270 --> 00:45:09,400 There's so 1066 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:10,330 Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of games. 1067 00:45:10,330 --> 00:45:10,810 that do that. 1068 00:45:11,145 --> 00:45:15,015 But this game is like mandatory co op, like you need to play with two players. 1069 00:45:16,925 --> 00:45:17,435 Yeah, 1070 00:45:17,835 --> 00:45:19,845 I think that, that is a little different when, 1071 00:45:20,030 --> 00:45:21,980 I guess that does make it a little different. 1072 00:45:22,070 --> 00:45:22,500 I like it. 1073 00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:24,710 I think it's a good trend, what they're doing. 1074 00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:25,700 Yeah. 1075 00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:26,910 I'm down for it. 1076 00:45:26,975 --> 00:45:29,765 Yeah, so Split Fiction, I think it'll run well on Steam Deck. 1077 00:45:30,490 --> 00:45:30,830 Yeah. 1078 00:45:31,420 --> 00:45:32,390 I think you're right on that. 1079 00:45:32,615 --> 00:45:37,745 The only good thing EA has done is, uh, well, not the only good thing, but they've 1080 00:45:37,775 --> 00:45:40,345 been financing his games, EA Originals. 1081 00:45:42,145 --> 00:45:43,465 Let's see, Directive 1082 00:45:43,535 --> 00:45:47,175 8020, the newest game by the guys that made Until Dawn. 1083 00:45:47,205 --> 00:45:51,015 So this one's supposed to be like a survival horror game, but it's space. 1084 00:45:51,890 --> 00:45:55,395 \ So I don't, is there any gameplay in this really? 1085 00:45:55,395 --> 00:45:57,445 I don't think there was much gameplay, which 1086 00:45:58,145 --> 00:45:58,345 I 1087 00:45:58,425 --> 00:46:02,175 It, it, with this type Until Dawn is like a, almost a point and 1088 00:46:02,175 --> 00:46:03,885 click, like, uh, adventure, right? 1089 00:46:03,885 --> 00:46:04,345 It's a 1090 00:46:04,420 --> 00:46:06,220 yeah, it's, it's like a telltale. 1091 00:46:06,430 --> 00:46:06,730 Sorry. 1092 00:46:06,740 --> 00:46:07,730 It's like a telltale game. 1093 00:46:07,775 --> 00:46:11,935 Yeah I really liked it, but I'm a big horror fan I really liked Until Dawn 1094 00:46:11,965 --> 00:46:15,535 I thought it was really fun and the different paths you can take Uh, this 1095 00:46:15,535 --> 00:46:21,335 one really, like, really jumped out to me I'm a big sci fi space person And so, I'm 1096 00:46:21,345 --> 00:46:26,070 excited for it, but very Cautious, because I want to see how it's going to play. 1097 00:46:26,890 --> 00:46:28,080 And not just the cutscenes. 1098 00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:32,520 Yeah, because I think a game like this, especially when it's kind 1099 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:37,560 of like among us where you can't trust your crewmates, you don't know 1100 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,370 who's real and who's an imposter. 1101 00:46:39,930 --> 00:46:42,370 I think game like that does deserve to be like an actual game 1102 00:46:42,370 --> 00:46:44,390 and not like a telltale game. 1103 00:46:44,835 --> 00:46:45,495 In my opinion. 1104 00:46:46,620 --> 00:46:49,750 Yeah, well, and it's weird that it's set in the same universe 1105 00:46:49,780 --> 00:46:54,550 as, um, Uh, what is it called? 1106 00:46:54,890 --> 00:46:57,450 It's not Until Dawn, but it's set in the same universe as a bunch 1107 00:46:57,450 --> 00:46:59,060 of other games that they have. 1108 00:46:59,060 --> 00:46:59,290 I don't 1109 00:46:59,290 --> 00:46:59,710 know either. 1110 00:46:59,770 --> 00:47:01,370 But, it's 1111 00:47:01,370 --> 00:47:04,530 interesting though, I thought, I thought Supermassive Games was 1112 00:47:04,670 --> 00:47:06,760 owned by Sony, but apparently not. 1113 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:13,590 So until Dawn was just like an exclusive that Sony, like, financed? 1114 00:47:13,630 --> 00:47:15,950 Or like, paid for the rights to publish exclusively? 1115 00:47:15,950 --> 00:47:16,400 I don't know. 1116 00:47:16,780 --> 00:47:18,130 But it's on PC, day one. 1117 00:47:19,470 --> 00:47:24,460 Nothing about Xbox, but it could probably be on Xbox, cause it's not 1118 00:47:24,460 --> 00:47:26,760 published by Sony, as far as I'm aware. 1119 00:47:27,805 --> 00:47:31,595 Oh, it's a Dark Pictures game, meaning it's set in that, the Dark 1120 00:47:31,595 --> 00:47:38,015 Pictures, uh, uh, universe, which That was a whole thing that I, I 1121 00:47:38,015 --> 00:47:40,905 knew about the games, but I didn't realize that they were all connected. 1122 00:47:41,005 --> 00:47:42,395 I'd have to look into it more, but 1123 00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:45,310 Dark Pictures? 1124 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,580 Is that not the thing? 1125 00:47:47,145 --> 00:47:48,305 No, I'm thinking of something else. 1126 00:47:48,315 --> 00:47:48,375 I'm 1127 00:47:48,375 --> 00:47:48,715 thinking of a 1128 00:47:48,725 --> 00:47:52,015 The, Dark Pictures anthology, it's uh, yeah, like, 1129 00:47:52,705 --> 00:47:56,875 I'm thinking of the Dark Universe that, uh, Have you guys seen the Tom Have you 1130 00:47:56,875 --> 00:48:02,665 guys seen the Tom Cruise, uh, The Mummy remake or remas remake or whatever? 1131 00:48:02,945 --> 00:48:03,595 The reboot? 1132 00:48:03,905 --> 00:48:05,265 but I know what you're talking about. 1133 00:48:05,285 --> 00:48:06,385 Yeah, I haven't seen it either. 1134 00:48:06,415 --> 00:48:06,755 So 1135 00:48:07,675 --> 00:48:08,175 Yeah. 1136 00:48:08,415 --> 00:48:08,745 Isn't it? 1137 00:48:08,785 --> 00:48:12,015 Is it like, uh, universal dark pictures or something? 1138 00:48:12,195 --> 00:48:16,599 Yeah, they tried to make, like, a A un like, a cinematic universe. 1139 00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:17,620 Featuring all of 1140 00:48:17,620 --> 00:48:21,050 their stupid, uh, They even had a they even had Russell Crowe 1141 00:48:21,050 --> 00:48:22,650 was like a Nick Fury type. 1142 00:48:24,155 --> 00:48:24,545 Mm. 1143 00:48:24,580 --> 00:48:28,360 Yeah, it's stupid from my from what I've seen. 1144 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,530 Apparently the the trailer for that that one movie, The Mummy, they 1145 00:48:33,570 --> 00:48:39,745 uploaded it at first without any audio except for like One track. 1146 00:48:39,835 --> 00:48:40,615 They didn't upload 1147 00:48:40,635 --> 00:48:43,375 the, like, track with music or sound effects, they just had, like, 1148 00:48:43,375 --> 00:48:45,775 character, like, the dialogue. 1149 00:48:46,895 --> 00:48:50,465 And, if you're, uh, you have to watch it, but, like, you can hear 1150 00:48:50,495 --> 00:48:55,485 Tom, Tom Cruise's scream, and it's the funniest thing I've ever heard. 1151 00:48:55,545 --> 00:48:56,295 I don't know why. 1152 00:48:56,495 --> 00:48:56,855 Mm. 1153 00:48:57,255 --> 00:49:01,505 So, Directive 8020, I don't think this is gonna run well on Steam 1154 00:49:01,505 --> 00:49:03,905 Deck, but depending on the type of game it is, you may not need 1155 00:49:03,905 --> 00:49:06,665 to run it at a high framerate. 1156 00:49:07,525 --> 00:49:11,045 Yeah, if it's like an Until Dawn kind of style, it could run okay. 1157 00:49:11,945 --> 00:49:12,915 Yeah, 1158 00:49:13,385 --> 00:49:14,475 But it might be an FSR. 1159 00:49:14,665 --> 00:49:20,205 yeah, let's see, Five Nights at Freddy's Secret of the Mimic, I 1160 00:49:20,345 --> 00:49:21,545 kind of want to skip this one. 1161 00:49:21,595 --> 00:49:23,125 I don't know if you guys want to talk about it. 1162 00:49:24,365 --> 00:49:27,575 It looked interesting, out of like all the Five Nights at Freddy's 1163 00:49:27,605 --> 00:49:28,645 games I've seen in the past. 1164 00:49:28,645 --> 00:49:31,735 Like it actually looked like one I might pick up, especially when my kid 1165 00:49:31,735 --> 00:49:33,545 gets just a couple years older, but 1166 00:49:34,535 --> 00:49:34,985 Yeah, I 1167 00:49:34,985 --> 00:49:35,975 mean, it's, I mean, it. 1168 00:49:35,975 --> 00:49:36,505 seems okay. 1169 00:49:36,525 --> 00:49:39,905 The Midnight Walk though, I don't remember which one this was. 1170 00:49:41,890 --> 00:49:42,270 Oh, 1171 00:49:42,270 --> 00:49:43,660 it's that one game that's like, 1172 00:49:45,780 --> 00:49:48,390 it looks like it's stop motion, I think, but it's also like 1173 00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:50,940 an FPS also, I don't know. 1174 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,860 It's interesting looking, I'll say that much, but I don't know 1175 00:49:56,860 --> 00:49:58,000 if it'll run more on Steam Vic. 1176 00:49:59,070 --> 00:50:00,590 I can't hear you Gardner, you're muted. 1177 00:50:02,065 --> 00:50:02,475 Sorry. 1178 00:50:02,675 --> 00:50:06,725 I, I love games that, with this kind of aesthetic, the, the low frame rate 1179 00:50:06,725 --> 00:50:12,715 looking animations, but with like a actual fluid frame rate, it just, it's cool. 1180 00:50:12,735 --> 00:50:14,141 Yeah. 1181 00:50:14,635 --> 00:50:15,175 kind of style. 1182 00:50:15,445 --> 00:50:16,315 It looks really fun. 1183 00:50:16,315 --> 00:50:18,835 It's, it's, it's right up my alley of like Little Nightmares 1184 00:50:18,835 --> 00:50:20,595 kind of style almost at times. 1185 00:50:21,145 --> 00:50:21,765 Horror. 1186 00:50:22,055 --> 00:50:23,815 First person, you got me there. 1187 00:50:24,175 --> 00:50:28,845 Uh, it looks like it, it, it legitimately freaked me out. 1188 00:50:29,075 --> 00:50:29,595 Potentially 1189 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,970 I want to see more gameplay, like how in depth the game 1190 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,440 gets, to be honest, but that's 1191 00:50:35,585 --> 00:50:40,745 Well, it looks like you can leave first person mode and go third person 1192 00:50:40,745 --> 00:50:44,705 and do different things and it has effects on, on some of the environment. 1193 00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:46,090 Yeah, 1194 00:50:46,315 --> 00:50:46,745 pretty neat. 1195 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,040 so I think, actually, now that I think about it, it might run more on Steam Vic. 1196 00:50:51,055 --> 00:50:55,045 You might even be able to mask the low framerates with, uh, the art style, how 1197 00:50:55,045 --> 00:50:56,865 it's like animated, like stop motion, 1198 00:50:56,875 --> 00:51:00,365 like, say what else, Darwin's Paradox. 1199 00:51:00,365 --> 00:51:01,495 So this one was interesting. 1200 00:51:01,495 --> 00:51:04,765 It's like, it's like an octopus, like adventure platformer, sort 1201 00:51:04,765 --> 00:51:06,255 of getting published by Konami. 1202 00:51:07,085 --> 00:51:07,515 Yeah. 1203 00:51:07,845 --> 00:51:10,645 I was, I was totally game for it when I was watching it and then I 1204 00:51:10,655 --> 00:51:14,085 saw it was published by Konami and I have no interest in it anymore. 1205 00:51:15,015 --> 00:51:15,654 Heh heh heh, 1206 00:51:16,455 --> 00:51:17,645 big against Konami? 1207 00:51:18,045 --> 00:51:22,915 I'm big against pretty much all publishers at this point, but Konami screwed over, 1208 00:51:23,055 --> 00:51:27,335 uh, uh, blanking on his name, but Kojima. 1209 00:51:27,385 --> 00:51:27,705 Yeah. 1210 00:51:27,805 --> 00:51:30,355 And I was just like, after that, I was like, screw Konami. 1211 00:51:30,545 --> 00:51:34,275 they fucked, they like, just fucked over Konami and basically killed 1212 00:51:34,275 --> 00:51:35,515 off the Metal Gear franchise. 1213 00:51:35,595 --> 00:51:36,275 Hell, they killed off 1214 00:51:36,305 --> 00:51:37,615 basically all their franchises. 1215 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:38,810 for 1216 00:51:38,810 --> 00:51:39,380 pachinko 1217 00:51:39,475 --> 00:51:44,555 they've got, yeah, they've got Metal Gear Delta or whatever coming out like 1218 00:51:44,620 --> 00:51:48,000 that yeah that did show up later um yeah 1219 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,280 the remaster? 1220 00:51:50,590 --> 00:51:50,760 Or 1221 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,350 the re the i think it's a remake metal gear 1222 00:51:53,660 --> 00:51:55,250 It's a, yeah, okay, it's a remake. 1223 00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:57,500 Yeah, the way that they're doing this is just 1224 00:51:59,610 --> 00:52:02,320 All these Metal Gear remakes are just kind of interesting. 1225 00:52:03,010 --> 00:52:03,270 Yeah. 1226 00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:04,960 I love Metal Gear, but 1227 00:52:05,860 --> 00:52:09,455 I, I mean, don't get me wrong, I think Darwin's paradox looks cool. 1228 00:52:09,485 --> 00:52:14,225 Like I'd actually like to try it, but I, I've just on principle, I don't want to 1229 00:52:14,890 --> 00:52:19,530 yeah kanan is gonna have to do a lot to bring back their trust the trust that 1230 00:52:19,530 --> 00:52:22,070 they used to have Cause they 1231 00:52:22,330 --> 00:52:26,650 basically abandoned everything for pachinko and then the, uh, the pandemic 1232 00:52:26,650 --> 00:52:32,280 happened and no one was going to casinos in Japan, pachinko parlors, and so they 1233 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,400 had to go back to re releasing their games on PC, which I will say, I don't, 1234 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,729 I don't think Garnet's going to like this, but I did buy the Castlevania 1235 00:52:41,729 --> 00:52:44,100 DS collection cause there's like some of my favorite games that were made. 1236 00:52:46,305 --> 00:52:46,905 I mean, you do. 1237 00:52:46,905 --> 00:52:47,805 You man, I just 1238 00:52:48,085 --> 00:52:49,155 We're supposed to stand strong. 1239 00:52:49,155 --> 00:52:50,325 You're not supposed to buy stuff. 1240 00:52:51,295 --> 00:52:57,025 Hey, I, I did, I, last week, I, I bought, uh, uh, uh, 1241 00:52:57,130 --> 00:52:58,930 That's right, you bought an EA title. 1242 00:52:59,525 --> 00:53:04,335 Yeah, which is a no no I but you know what those those games I really wanted 1243 00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:08,905 I have, I have Okay, yeah, with these, uh, game companies, there's a couple. 1244 00:53:08,905 --> 00:53:11,805 I just If it says EA, if it says Konami, if it says 1245 00:53:11,805 --> 00:53:13,215 Ubisoft, I'm kind of turned off. 1246 00:53:13,255 --> 00:53:16,745 And the only will buy a game, if it's in a franchise, I already love. 1247 00:53:17,205 --> 00:53:20,345 So if EA wants to make money from me, make another Dead Space. 1248 00:53:20,905 --> 00:53:21,185 yeah 1249 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:21,900 That's all 1250 00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:23,374 that easy. 1251 00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:25,600 it really is not that hard. 1252 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:32,170 Like you have IP that is really good that you have fan bases in and you don't need 1253 00:53:32,180 --> 00:53:35,750 to pump hundreds of millions of dollars and you'll get a reinvestment back. 1254 00:53:35,750 --> 00:53:39,460 Like it doesn't get some good analysts, guys, get some good analysts. 1255 00:53:39,460 --> 00:53:40,700 That's all I ask. 1256 00:53:41,055 --> 00:53:42,435 Give me a new SimCity. 1257 00:53:42,445 --> 00:53:43,825 Give me a new Command Conquer. 1258 00:53:43,855 --> 00:53:44,745 I'm here for it. 1259 00:53:44,815 --> 00:53:47,265 But you know you guys they won't do it 1260 00:53:47,425 --> 00:53:51,405 EA, you have these two that want to give you guys a buttload of cash for games 1261 00:53:51,405 --> 00:53:53,085 that they want to play, that you guys own. 1262 00:53:53,855 --> 00:53:56,245 I'd kill for a Mercenaries, I'd kill for a new 1263 00:53:56,530 --> 00:53:56,630 No. 1264 00:53:59,630 --> 00:54:00,090 Mercenaries. 1265 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:00,530 Okay. 1266 00:54:01,095 --> 00:54:01,665 yeah 1267 00:54:01,770 --> 00:54:02,710 It's been a long time. 1268 00:54:03,165 --> 00:54:04,485 Yeah, let's see what else. 1269 00:54:05,615 --> 00:54:08,035 And so, the minute, so, Darwin's 1270 00:54:08,695 --> 00:54:10,585 Paradox is probably going to run low on Steam, Nick. 1271 00:54:10,730 --> 00:54:11,989 Yeah, 1272 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:12,910 it's gonna run decent. 1273 00:54:13,610 --> 00:54:17,980 I think Warrior's Abyss, which is next, is gonna run, uh, I think it, it 1274 00:54:17,980 --> 00:54:19,590 doesn't look like it was too intensive. 1275 00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:24,790 It, it was a roguelike Warriors game, which didn't excite me at all. 1276 00:54:24,790 --> 00:54:26,480 I didn't, I don't care about the Warriors series. 1277 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:27,620 I don't know about you guys. 1278 00:54:27,770 --> 00:54:31,590 it looks like Vampire Survivors mixed with, uh, Dynasty Warriors. 1279 00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:32,250 Honestly, it 1280 00:54:32,250 --> 00:54:33,570 kind of makes sense when you think about it. 1281 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,460 Yeah, no, it makes sense, but it's not my style of game at all. 1282 00:54:40,490 --> 00:54:41,550 fair enough, yeah. 1283 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,220 I mean, we'll have to 1284 00:54:43,220 --> 00:54:43,720 see. 1285 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,105 I think it'll probably run well until, like, Like, you know how 1286 00:54:47,125 --> 00:54:50,775 Vampire Survivors runs really well, and then, like, towards the latter 1287 00:54:50,785 --> 00:54:52,485 half of a run, it runs like shit? 1288 00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:58,390 I don't know, like my, I know Susie, she plays it on the Steam Deck. 1289 00:54:59,030 --> 00:54:59,930 And I don't know if she's ever 1290 00:55:00,015 --> 00:55:03,035 they, I think they, like, I think they fixed that issue, but, like, very 1291 00:55:03,035 --> 00:55:06,665 early on in the Steam Deck's lifespan, Vampire Survivors, when you get 1292 00:55:06,665 --> 00:55:09,725 to, like, the end of a run, where there's, like, a billion enemies 1293 00:55:09,725 --> 00:55:11,225 coming at you, it, like, lags. 1294 00:55:11,285 --> 00:55:12,175 Like, crazy. 1295 00:55:12,175 --> 00:55:14,734 Well, 1296 00:55:14,875 --> 00:55:15,925 really bad at the game. 1297 00:55:16,125 --> 00:55:17,695 I just, wow, high tech. 1298 00:55:18,505 --> 00:55:19,345 Calling my wife out. 1299 00:55:19,345 --> 00:55:22,715 Now, that's interesting. 1300 00:55:23,075 --> 00:55:26,415 I feel like any of those games, once they, like, if they don't have a cap on 1301 00:55:26,435 --> 00:55:31,395 enemy spawns and all that, and they don't have good controls on that, could get 1302 00:55:31,435 --> 00:55:32,735 really bogged down on the Steam Deck. 1303 00:55:33,285 --> 00:55:36,675 Steam Deck, once you throw a certain amount of things 1304 00:55:36,675 --> 00:55:39,445 at it, its CPU fails hard. 1305 00:55:39,775 --> 00:55:40,335 Yeah. 1306 00:55:40,555 --> 00:55:41,595 Really hard. 1307 00:55:42,060 --> 00:55:46,079 Um, 1308 00:55:46,205 --> 00:55:51,385 a lot of RTSs are CP bound, and while a lot of them are older, A lot of the 1309 00:55:51,385 --> 00:55:55,275 ones that most people want to play are older, like there are some newer ones 1310 00:55:55,275 --> 00:55:57,425 from indie developers that come out, 1311 00:55:57,695 --> 00:56:00,195 and like I have to question if they run well on Steam Deck. 1312 00:56:00,225 --> 00:56:04,135 Yeah, I know they're a good fit because of the trackpads, but like, the 1313 00:56:04,135 --> 00:56:05,725 performance, man, like the performance. 1314 00:56:05,735 --> 00:56:09,739 It's not even a turn based game like Civ, it's a real time strategy game. 1315 00:56:10,190 --> 00:56:10,700 Yeah. 1316 00:56:12,030 --> 00:56:14,070 I, ah, man. 1317 00:56:14,970 --> 00:56:15,940 I don't know what to say. 1318 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:20,620 All I know is Onimusha 2 and Onimusha, uh, Way of 1319 00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:21,840 Way of the Sword, 1320 00:56:21,850 --> 00:56:24,800 which, one's a remaster, which is interesting that they went with 1321 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,430 remaster instead of remake on that one. 1322 00:56:26,430 --> 00:56:27,580 I feel like it needed a remake. 1323 00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:30,780 And then, uh, Way of the Sword looked interesting. 1324 00:56:30,790 --> 00:56:33,550 Like, they both, like, I'm, I, I quite like Onimusha. 1325 00:56:33,550 --> 00:56:33,711 Yeah. 1326 00:56:33,711 --> 00:56:33,873 Yeah. 1327 00:56:33,873 --> 00:56:34,034 Yeah. 1328 00:56:34,815 --> 00:56:39,125 And so I'm excited, but my, my, there's so many games coming out. 1329 00:56:39,125 --> 00:56:41,005 I don't know if I'll be able to commit to playing these. 1330 00:56:42,010 --> 00:56:42,640 Yeah. 1331 00:56:43,260 --> 00:56:46,520 Only Moosh is an interesting one because it has tank. 1332 00:56:46,530 --> 00:56:47,990 The old one has tank controls. 1333 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,120 Like it's like Resident 1334 00:56:49,150 --> 00:56:50,030 Evil almost. 1335 00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:53,560 A lot of games like during the PS2 era from Capcom were basically 1336 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:54,660 kind of like Resident Evil. 1337 00:56:55,185 --> 00:56:57,685 Like, Devil May Cry 1 was kind of 1338 00:56:57,685 --> 00:57:01,865 like, was kind of more like Resident Evil with like the pauses and shit. 1339 00:57:03,495 --> 00:57:06,545 It was, but it could, it, the hack and slash made up for it. 1340 00:57:06,725 --> 00:57:08,445 It, it made it still fun. 1341 00:57:08,455 --> 00:57:12,195 Like if it didn't have that, uh, it definitely, I would not 1342 00:57:12,195 --> 00:57:14,965 have succeeded, but yeah, it was definitely had the fixed camera angles 1343 00:57:15,325 --> 00:57:19,745 You know, you know Devil May Cry started out as a Resident Evil 4 prototype? 1344 00:57:19,745 --> 00:57:20,615 Think I do that. 1345 00:57:20,705 --> 00:57:21,805 It sounds familiar. 1346 00:57:21,815 --> 00:57:25,885 Yeah, like, it started out as Resident Evil 4, but then there was a bug that 1347 00:57:25,885 --> 00:57:27,445 would let you do combos in the air. 1348 00:57:27,885 --> 00:57:30,295 And so they just turned that into a new game franchise. 1349 00:57:30,295 --> 00:57:32,014 Dude, 1350 00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:34,980 They invented the hack and slash. 1351 00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:36,830 No, no. 1352 00:57:36,955 --> 00:57:37,315 dude. 1353 00:57:37,405 --> 00:57:41,960 I don't know, Half Life is such a weird genre name because like, It could refer 1354 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,200 to a number of things, like some people can refer to Diablo as a hack and slash 1355 00:57:47,250 --> 00:57:52,150 or the games of champions of Norrath on the PS2 as a hack and slash, but then you 1356 00:57:52,150 --> 00:57:56,090 have other games that are considered hack and slash is like Ninja Gaiden or Deathly 1357 00:57:56,110 --> 00:58:00,530 Night Cry, and those are like completely different games compared to like Diablo, 1358 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,170 so I don't know, man, it's a really 1359 00:58:02,180 --> 00:58:05,740 broad genre name I so. 1360 00:58:06,295 --> 00:58:09,885 Yeah, so, only Mushou 2, definitely gonna run on the Steam Deck. 1361 00:58:10,045 --> 00:58:13,225 Way of the Sword, though, I'm a little less optimistic about, 1362 00:58:13,235 --> 00:58:17,475 given Capcom's recent releases haven't been running that well on Steam Deck. 1363 00:58:18,345 --> 00:58:20,604 I will admit, I'm still a little salty about Dragon Sunman 2 1364 00:58:20,605 --> 00:58:21,795 not running well on Steam Deck. 1365 00:58:21,795 --> 00:58:25,675 I, I don't think game companies are like obligated to make sure it 1366 00:58:25,675 --> 00:58:27,115 runs well on Steam Deck right now, 1367 00:58:27,410 --> 00:58:28,310 Yeah, of course not. 1368 00:58:30,015 --> 00:58:30,785 going that route. 1369 00:58:30,835 --> 00:58:32,475 I definitely want to push the industry that route. 1370 00:58:33,275 --> 00:58:37,865 I think, I hope that, you know, with the Steam Deck being a proven name 1371 00:58:37,875 --> 00:58:41,755 that, like, developers will move heaven and earth to try to get their games 1372 00:58:41,765 --> 00:58:45,025 to run well on the Steam Deck 2, like, 1373 00:58:45,215 --> 00:58:49,205 I mean, it's an easy, I think it's an easy sell more and more as you support it. 1374 00:58:49,315 --> 00:58:52,975 Like if you support it better, more people are going to buy steam decks. 1375 00:58:52,975 --> 00:58:56,845 There's already like a lot of people that buy it and a lot of people buy it. 1376 00:58:56,845 --> 00:58:57,865 I think it's our, isn't it? 1377 00:58:57,865 --> 00:58:59,285 Like what is the statistic on this? 1378 00:58:59,285 --> 00:59:03,495 I can't remember, but like people that buy the steam deck by drastically more 1379 00:59:03,495 --> 00:59:07,585 games through steam than otherwise. 1380 00:59:07,605 --> 00:59:08,385 Like it's a. 1381 00:59:08,395 --> 00:59:08,845 Yeah. 1382 00:59:09,295 --> 00:59:11,375 Feel free to correct us in the comments, because I don't know 1383 00:59:11,375 --> 00:59:12,695 the exact statistic either. 1384 00:59:14,290 --> 00:59:19,270 But it is like quite a bit, a higher amount of people buy, uh, games 1385 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:24,180 that own a steam deck, which makes sense, but you're missing out on 1386 00:59:24,180 --> 00:59:27,460 sales guys, optimize it, make it run really well, treat it like a console. 1387 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:28,660 Like you can do that. 1388 00:59:28,670 --> 00:59:29,350 They can do that. 1389 00:59:29,350 --> 00:59:30,110 That's the one thing. 1390 00:59:30,530 --> 00:59:35,560 And so, uh, a valve needs to start selling how many consoles that they have to these 1391 00:59:35,580 --> 00:59:37,130 developers and say, Hey, we have like. 1392 00:59:37,785 --> 00:59:40,815 Millions of people that have these start marketing towards 'em. 1393 00:59:40,815 --> 00:59:44,085 I think they're kind of getting there with their badges and I think, I think 1394 00:59:44,085 --> 00:59:47,655 we're gonna see, uh, in the next few years, especially if the steam, when 1395 00:59:47,655 --> 00:59:50,295 the steam deck two comes out, I think what we're gonna see an era of that's 1396 00:59:50,295 --> 00:59:54,375 what they'll tar start targeting as their baseline or their, um, low end. 1397 00:59:56,535 --> 00:59:57,705 I just think it makes sense, 1398 00:59:57,805 --> 01:00:02,565 yeah, I mean, I think it's interesting how, I mean, I think Valve does tell, I'm 1399 01:00:02,585 --> 01:00:06,685 pretty sure Valve tells these, like, big developers that they're partnered with. 1400 01:00:07,155 --> 01:00:09,645 I'm sure they have some data points for those to like convince them 1401 01:00:09,665 --> 01:00:11,475 to try to optimize for Steam Deck. 1402 01:00:11,545 --> 01:00:12,895 I mean, there are 1403 01:00:12,895 --> 01:00:14,525 publishers that are trying to do that. 1404 01:00:14,695 --> 01:00:15,025 But, 1405 01:00:15,190 --> 01:00:15,970 They're not big. 1406 01:00:15,980 --> 01:00:18,020 That's the, the thing with valve is they are not big. 1407 01:00:18,030 --> 01:00:21,690 So while it depends on what they're trying to accomplish, that's the 1408 01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:24,620 problem with the valve is that they don't have that big of a company. 1409 01:00:24,990 --> 01:00:29,330 So when they're trying to take on multiple, uh, ventures or multiple, 1410 01:00:29,330 --> 01:00:35,040 um, projects at once, it, it, it just really depends on what 1411 01:00:35,060 --> 01:00:35,830 they're going to be able to do. 1412 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:36,270 So, 1413 01:00:36,575 --> 01:00:37,695 I guess that makes sense. 1414 01:00:38,460 --> 01:00:38,870 yeah. 1415 01:00:38,905 --> 01:00:41,655 See, we talked about Metal Gear Solid Delta. 1416 01:00:41,955 --> 01:00:44,495 I don't, that might run well on Steam Deck. 1417 01:00:44,515 --> 01:00:47,194 Metal Gear Solid Delta's pretty linear. 1418 01:00:47,475 --> 01:00:48,125 Metal Gear Solid 3, I mean. 1419 01:00:48,905 --> 01:00:51,565 I don't think 3 is going to run that well, if it's a remake. 1420 01:00:51,835 --> 01:00:52,815 Yeah, I mean, maybe. 1421 01:00:53,335 --> 01:00:58,105 I mean, some of the effects, like the refraction of the, uh, the water 1422 01:00:58,105 --> 01:01:01,255 droplets on the camera, like I was like, whoa, I don't know about that. 1423 01:01:01,825 --> 01:01:02,515 on the steam neck, 1424 01:01:02,570 --> 01:01:02,670 but 1425 01:01:02,670 --> 01:01:03,390 that is true. 1426 01:01:04,445 --> 01:01:04,745 yeah. 1427 01:01:04,980 --> 01:01:05,350 See, 1428 01:01:05,350 --> 01:01:05,630 hell 1429 01:01:05,645 --> 01:01:08,005 want to play them on the Steam Deck, just play the originals, right, 1430 01:01:08,005 --> 01:01:09,365 through emulation and stuff like 1431 01:01:09,610 --> 01:01:12,290 Yeah, or the collection, I believe, has. 1432 01:01:12,580 --> 01:01:15,810 Cause the, uh, I believe the original Metal Gear Solid games actually 1433 01:01:15,810 --> 01:01:18,710 used the pressure sensitive buttons on the original playstations. 1434 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:19,850 And it can kind of 1435 01:01:19,850 --> 01:01:22,650 make it difficult to play, like, on a modern system. 1436 01:01:22,650 --> 01:01:26,410 Cause no modern controller has pressure sensitive face buttons. 1437 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:28,420 But I think they 1438 01:01:28,495 --> 01:01:29,995 a PSQ adapter. 1439 01:01:31,645 --> 01:01:32,635 , two controller adapter. 1440 01:01:33,105 --> 01:01:35,795 Yeah, but they did account for that in the remaster if you're interested, 1441 01:01:35,795 --> 01:01:38,625 so I guess that might be a good way to play on the Steam Deck. 1442 01:01:38,735 --> 01:01:41,005 Let's see, there's also Hellas Us. 1443 01:01:41,335 --> 01:01:43,395 I don't remember which one this was. 1444 01:01:44,625 --> 01:01:46,315 It, it's a horror game. 1445 01:01:46,335 --> 01:01:50,725 It looks interesting, um, but it, it, I, 1446 01:01:51,205 --> 01:01:51,805 Wait, isn't a 1447 01:01:51,805 --> 01:01:52,465 souls like 1448 01:01:53,970 --> 01:02:00,460 It is from, is it the same, I think it's, is it the, um, developers of Returnal? 1449 01:02:01,445 --> 01:02:01,805 No. 1450 01:02:01,805 --> 01:02:02,705 That, that's a different game. 1451 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:03,860 That's a 1452 01:02:04,045 --> 01:02:05,275 um, that's on the list, 1453 01:02:06,740 --> 01:02:07,930 there's a one from Returnals. 1454 01:02:07,970 -->

1478 01:03:12,105 --> 01:03:16,415 to be honest, I think the only ones that have made good Souls likes so far, are 1479 01:03:16,415 --> 01:03:20,385 the guys that have made Dark Souls games, you know, from software, the guys that 1480 01:03:20,395 --> 01:03:22,305 made the fucking genre to begin with. 1481 01:03:22,305 --> 01:03:24,144 Okay, 1482 01:03:24,270 --> 01:03:27,320 I think they

PowerWorld has moved into the United States, 1910 01:22:16,435 --> 01:22:18,245 so it used to be just Japan. 1911 01:22:18,765 --> 01:22:21,385 But now it's coming to the States, and we've gotten a lot of 1912 01:22:21,425 --> 01:22:23,115 information, first and foremost. 1913 01:22:23,415 --> 01:22:26,615 Nintendo tried to file 23 patents. 1914 01:22:27,015 --> 01:22:28,935 22 of them were rejected in the U. 1915 01:22:28,935 --> 01:22:30,459 S., but one went through. 1916 01:22:30,459 --> 01:22:35,629 And so this, this patent was essentially related to aiming and capturing 1917 01:22:35,629 --> 01:22:37,069 characters from what I've read. 1918 01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,379 I've linked the patent below in our document here, but it, I don't know, man. 1919 01:22:42,359 --> 01:22:42,649 Wait, 1920 01:22:43,004 --> 01:22:47,754 Do you think, do you think that patent's even gonna matter soon when, you know, 1921 01:22:47,864 --> 01:22:50,834 the USPTO doesn't exist in a few weeks? 1922 01:22:51,169 --> 01:22:51,479 what? 1923 01:22:52,059 --> 01:22:53,389 Is it not going to exist in a few weeks? 1924 01:22:53,389 --> 01:22:54,989 No one fucking 1925 01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:55,859 are off, man. 1926 01:22:56,309 --> 01:22:57,229 All bets are off. 1927 01:22:57,914 --> 01:22:59,034 That'd be crazy. 1928 01:22:59,244 --> 01:23:02,404 you need to go look up on the news and this is like not even really 1929 01:23:02,404 --> 01:23:06,594 like a political thing per se as much as a lot of agencies are 1930 01:23:06,604 --> 01:23:09,374 getting, uh, just axed completely. 1931 01:23:09,374 --> 01:23:11,274 So, I'd be shocked if this one was, 1932 01:23:11,999 --> 01:23:16,549 If I was a betting man, I would say that the USPTO would stick around 1933 01:23:16,599 --> 01:23:22,589 because because it, like, there's so much private interest in keeping, like, 1934 01:23:22,899 --> 01:23:24,579 intellectual property and enforcing it. 1935 01:23:25,104 --> 01:23:32,234 I agree, I just don't see, it depends on if Musk has a patent he wants and 1936 01:23:32,234 --> 01:23:33,544 Yeah, but Musk is crazy. 1937 01:23:33,669 --> 01:23:34,309 That's true. 1938 01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:35,059 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1939 01:23:35,089 --> 01:23:35,339 He 1940 01:23:35,509 --> 01:23:36,469 And he's the one that's doing it. 1941 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,979 So it's, this is interesting. 1942 01:23:39,979 --> 01:23:42,579 So I don't think it's going to affect this right now, but 1943 01:23:42,579 --> 01:23:44,039 like it could affect future. 1944 01:23:44,544 --> 01:23:49,874 am saying is, on the flip side though, if the USPTO goes away, you know that patent 1945 01:23:49,884 --> 01:23:52,254 that WB holds for the Nemesis system? 1946 01:23:54,434 --> 01:23:57,474 Yeah, you know what I'm thinking, you know what I'm thinking, I think we 1947 01:23:57,484 --> 01:23:59,294 should make a game with a nemesis system 1948 01:23:59,294 --> 01:23:59,344 in 1949 01:23:59,809 --> 01:24:01,079 I, I, agree with that. 1950 01:24:01,369 --> 01:24:02,459 I like that idea. 1951 01:24:02,529 --> 01:24:05,619 Uh, I really think, uh, these types of software patents need to go away. 1952 01:24:05,699 --> 01:24:06,149 I think that's 1953 01:24:06,384 --> 01:24:07,214 So yeah, please. 1954 01:24:09,199 --> 01:24:14,834 It's software patents and design patents are some of the, uh, Like, I get a patent 1955 01:24:14,854 --> 01:24:19,084 on, uh, maybe some medical stuff, unless it's researched by, like, with funds 1956 01:24:19,084 --> 01:24:20,624 from governments, which they all are. 1957 01:24:20,624 --> 01:24:25,494 So, the whole patent system is just asinine, unless, it should, it was 1958 01:24:25,504 --> 01:24:29,584 there originally to protect, like, smaller people, and now it's there to 1959 01:24:29,584 --> 01:24:31,334 protect corporations that don't need it. 1960 01:24:31,504 --> 01:24:32,754 I, I don't need to get into this, but 1961 01:24:32,959 --> 01:24:36,529 The the thing about the this patent specifically if you look at 1962 01:24:36,529 --> 01:24:40,709 it, it's like oh my god Nintendo invented the crosshair guys 1963 01:24:41,394 --> 01:24:43,224 Dude, they invented Doom? 1964 01:24:43,564 --> 01:24:45,214 They invented the crosshair? 1965 01:24:45,599 --> 01:24:47,439 Dude it's ridiculous. 1966 01:24:47,449 --> 01:24:48,199 What is this? 1967 01:24:48,199 --> 01:24:50,389 Oh, have you not seen this, this patent before? 1968 01:24:50,389 --> 01:24:51,849 Like, it's ass 1969 01:24:52,119

01:24:59,429 They really just want to wipe Powerworld off the face of this 1973 01:24:59,489 --> 01:25:02,239 earth, and like, honestly guys? 1974 01:25:02,674 --> 01:25:06,274 I don't know if he, I know Garnet doesn't like Power World, but I think we should 1975 01:25:06,274 --> 01:25:10,824 all rally behind Power World because it would suck if Nintendo got their way. 1976 01:25:11,709 --> 01:25:16,279 Yeah, no, I, I just don't find, like, those kind of games that interesting, 1977 01:25:16,289 --> 01:25:20,309 but like, I definitely am on, on board with supporting Pal World. 1978 01:25:20,779 --> 01:25:23,539 Any enemy of Nintendo is an enemy of mine. 1979 01:25:23,744 --> 01:25:24,354 You mean a friend of 1980 01:25:24,719 --> 01:25:28,969 Or, I'm sorry, any enemy of Nintendo is a friend of mine, I meant to say. 1981 01:25:29,139 --> 01:25:30,249 I agree with Gardner. 1982 01:25:30,249 --> 01:25:31,199 I'm on Nintendo's side. 1983 01:25:31,199 --> 01:25:32,469 I want Power World dead. 1984 01:25:32,470 --> 01:25:37,324 Uh, no. 1985 01:25:39,244 --> 01:25:41,914 It, it, it is like they're a, a great success story. 1986 01:25:41,944 --> 01:25:45,374 Like, um, they're like the power world. 1987 01:25:45,404 --> 01:25:45,764 I don't know. 1988 01:25:45,764 --> 01:25:50,024 Are they a two A or are they just an, I don't think they're an Indi Indie studio. 1989 01:25:50,024 --> 01:25:51,944 I think they're kind of a little bit more established, but 1990 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:52,589 I 1991 01:25:52,589 --> 01:25:56,859 think at this point, they're like a double A, like they definitely 1992 01:25:56,859 --> 01:25:58,539 start out as Indie, but uh, 1993 01:25:59,469 --> 01:26:02,569 They're, they're whatever, they're whatever Mojang 1994 01:26:02,619 --> 01:26:03,949 was before they got bought. 1995 01:26:04,489 --> 01:26:05,179 It's the same 1996 01:26:05,449 --> 01:26:09,009 I think Mojang was much considered Indie even back then. 1997 01:26:09,019 --> 01:26:12,109 I know they sold like a billion dollars of Minecraft, like even 1998 01:26:12,109 --> 01:26:13,609 with what Microsoft was like. 1999 01:26:14,569 --> 01:26:16,374 It, it, I mean, it started out as an indie, 2000 01:26:16,774 --> 01:26:17,344 Yeah. 2001 01:26:17,514 --> 01:26:19,224 it's a success story of an indie game. 2002 01:26:19,374 --> 01:26:19,974 Um. 2003 01:26:21,614 --> 01:26:25,064 This is also one of those, it's a successful indie game, and it allows 2004 01:26:25,064 --> 01:26:30,204 for us to bridge, like, it allows for people to be creative, like, they're 2005 01:26:30,204 --> 01:26:33,834 like, because, you know, I could, I could guarantee that, that the creator of this 2006 01:26:33,834 --> 01:26:38,014 is like, I want a Pokemon that's a little bit more mature, open world, I can capture 2007 01:26:38,014 --> 01:26:44,514 things, but is very different also, um, they could have played it a little safer 2008 01:26:44,514 --> 01:26:46,394 with some of their character designs. 2009 01:26:46,774 --> 01:26:51,254 I think they would have, this is where I kind of saw this kind of, I thought 2010 01:26:51,254 --> 01:26:53,564 it was gonna happen much sooner, but they could have played it safer. 2011 01:26:54,314 --> 01:26:55,994 I don't want them to go away 2012 01:26:55,999 --> 01:26:57,239 but at the same time though. 2013 01:26:57,664 --> 01:26:58,614 It's like a parody game. 2014 01:26:58,624 --> 01:27:01,034 It's like a parody of Pokemons, and they 2015 01:27:01,034 --> 01:27:03,584 should be protected under parody law, naturally, like, 2016 01:27:04,254 --> 01:27:05,964 I will say, like, 2017 01:27:06,044 --> 01:27:10,574 wolf Pokemon aren't necessarily super original, and like, there's a wolf pal, 2018 01:27:10,674 --> 01:27:14,504 and like, there's only so many ways you can design a wolf, like, period. 2019 01:27:14,734 --> 01:27:16,654 I, I agree with that. 2020 01:27:16,654 --> 01:27:19,894 That's, that's the it, if the games are iterative, like if Nintendo is gonna 2021 01:27:19,894 --> 01:27:24,184 play this game, they might end up getting screwed over by some of their stuff 2022 01:27:24,354 --> 01:27:25,354 yeah, I sure hope that you get something 2023 01:27:25,384 --> 01:27:25,744 ' cause 2024 01:27:26,294 --> 01:27:26,834 Yeah, 2025 01:27:26,989 --> 01:27:27,289 Yeah. 2026 01:27:27,289 --> 01:27:27,290 Yeah. 2027 01:27:27,604 --> 01:27:29,704 it's iterative, like, let us just have fun. 2028 01:27:30,134 --> 01:27:33,984 and yeah, I will say some of the designs do ride the line, like, 2029 01:27:34,324 --> 01:27:37,464 what is it, like, one Pokemon that's essentially Egyptian Lucario. 2030 01:27:37,464 --> 01:27:39,002 There you go. 2031 01:27:39,619 --> 01:27:42,269 That one is the one I was thinking of, actually. 2032 01:27:42,329 --> 01:27:44,989 Yeah, it's, yeah, I don't know. 2033 01:27:45,009 --> 01:27:49,319 But also, um, kind of related, but not related to the story in general, is the 2034 01:27:49,319 --> 01:27:56,019 fact that, that Pocket Pair teamed up with Sony, Music Japan, and Aniplex to create 2035 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:58,799 a company, Power World Entertainment. 2036 01:27:59,079 --> 01:28:01,239 It's kind of like the Pokemon Company, almost. 2037 01:28:01,664 --> 01:28:03,984 And that, is kinda crazy to me. 2038 01:28:05,114 --> 01:28:06,854 And I think that's where the threat's coming from. 2039 01:28:07,044 --> 01:28:07,604 I'm not sure, 2040 01:28:07,624 --> 01:28:12,664 but, Pokemon's had a stranglehold on society for like, ever now. 2041 01:28:12,664 --> 01:28:16,414 it just makes me think of South Park and the Chip Pokemon episode. 2042 01:28:16,414 --> 01:28:16,744 But 2043 01:28:16,994 --> 01:28:18,094 Du heh heh heh. 2044 01:28:18,849 --> 01:28:18,999 dude. 2045 01:28:19,059 --> 01:28:19,839 Oh my God. 2046 01:28:19,839 --> 01:28:19,959 That 2047 01:28:20,014 --> 01:28:20,194 the 2048 01:28:20,259 --> 01:28:21,219 brilliant episode. 2049 01:28:21,304 --> 01:28:22,594 Chappo man. 2050 01:28:22,684 --> 01:28:23,704 You gotta buy 2051 01:28:23,704 --> 01:28:26,514 Fucking South Park also predicted Hello Kitty Island Adventure. 2052 01:28:26,604 --> 01:28:27,854 And now it's a real game. 2053 01:28:29,524 --> 01:28:30,874 yeah, it's true. 2054 01:28:31,534 --> 01:28:32,974 Just came out like recently, didn't it? 2055 01:28:32,974 --> 01:28:33,844 On the on Steam. 2056 01:28:34,294 --> 01:28:35,044 It's uh. 2057 01:28:35,044 --> 01:28:38,774 All I gotta say is, I hope Palworld wins against Nintendo on this. 2058 01:28:38,944 --> 01:28:41,994 Nintendo's going really hard because they probably are both trying to 2059 01:28:42,074 --> 01:28:50,184 want to establish, um, more rights to the Pokemon, uh, universe. 2060 01:28:50,914 --> 01:28:52,634 Uh, and milk it even more. 2061 01:28:52,854 --> 01:28:56,094 And so they're probably going really hard and I think it's a toss up. 2062 01:28:56,094 --> 01:28:57,114 We'll see how this goes. 2063 01:28:57,354 --> 01:29:00,884 It might be Palworld just has to pay some damages or something. 2064 01:29:01,159 --> 01:29:05,929 I mean, I hope that's all there is, cause it would suck if Nintendo, like, 2065 01:29:06,379 --> 01:29:10,839 essentially locked everyone out of making, like, these sorts of games, like, 2066 01:29:11,059 --> 01:29:14,779 I don't wanna say they're like Pokemon, but like, You've seen the games on Steam. 2067 01:29:14,779 --> 01:29:16,659 They're like indies, but they're basically Pokemon 2068 01:29:16,669 --> 01:29:17,079 like 2069 01:29:17,169 --> 01:29:21,983 Well, capturing, uh, animals. 2070 01:29:21,983 --> 01:29:23,407 Capturing beasts. 2071 01:29:23,407 --> 01:29:25,899 Uh, enslaving creatures. 2072 01:29:26,579 --> 01:29:28,589 Wow, when you put it like that, it sounds 2073 01:29:28,789 --> 01:29:32,349 hor If you play Power World, it's kind of horrible. 2074 01:29:32,349 --> 01:29:33,439 You're like, okay, here you go. 2075 01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:34,069 Here's a gun. 2076 01:29:34,069 --> 01:29:36,649 Defend my base at all costs, including your life. 2077 01:29:37,469 --> 01:29:38,599 Like, that's kind of what it feels 2078 01:29:38,739 --> 01:29:39,149 dude. 2079 01:29:39,399 --> 01:29:39,899 I TV. 2080 01:29:39,989 --> 01:29:42,449 Yeah, you're putting Pokemon in sweatshops, too. 2081 01:29:43,499 --> 01:29:44,019 Did you even 2082 01:29:44,114 --> 01:29:48,124 Pokemon itself does not, on paper, sound great at all. 2083 01:29:48,134 --> 01:29:49,094 It sounds horrible. 2084 01:29:49,094 --> 01:29:51,354 You're having creatures, like, uh, pets. 2085 01:29:51,384 --> 01:29:53,284 Your pets essentially fight each other. 2086 01:29:53,399 --> 01:29:53,579 and 2087 01:29:53,579 --> 01:29:55,619 you're having ten year olds running out there with them 2088 01:29:55,619 --> 01:29:57,829 to going on grand adventures 2089 01:29:57,993 --> 01:29:58,313 Yeah. 2090 01:29:58,568 --> 01:30:02,708 dude speaking of which In power world, you can actually capture humans 2091 01:30:03,903 --> 01:30:04,613 Yeah, you can. 2092 01:30:05,333 --> 01:30:06,793 Slavery is a thing in Pal world. 2093 01:30:06,793 --> 01:30:07,763 It's interesting. 2094 01:30:08,073 --> 01:30:11,663 so like, you can, we can, like, so you also, on top of fighting other 2095 01:30:11,693 --> 01:30:15,363 pals, you can also, like, directly fight humans, and some of them 2096 01:30:15,363 --> 01:30:18,923 have, and some of them also have their own guns too, you can fight, like, raiders, 2097 01:30:19,223 --> 01:30:22,533 and like, shit, and you can capture them in the Pokeballs, and you can, 2098 01:30:22,693 --> 01:30:23,253 It's fun. 2099 01:30:23,503 --> 01:30:24,593 you can use, you 2100 01:30:24,593 --> 01:30:26,573 can summon them too, to fight! 2101 01:30:27,018 --> 01:30:29,788 you can, yep, I think you get like marked though. 2102 01:30:29,788 --> 01:30:34,028 If you capture humans, you get like a mark on you, uh, cause it's a little taboo, 2103 01:30:34,033 --> 01:30:35,363 and you can't sell them 2104 01:30:35,363 --> 01:30:37,433 to people except for the black market. 2105 01:30:38,708 --> 01:30:39,008 Yep. 2106 01:30:39,638 --> 01:30:41,038 So it's a fun game. 2107 01:30:41,078 --> 01:30:43,098 Like I I'd be shocked if it goes away though. 2108 01:30:43,108 --> 01:30:46,318 So just like my final take on this whole Nintendo versus power world. 2109 01:30:46,318 --> 01:30:47,978 I don't think power world is going to go anywhere. 2110 01:30:48,428 --> 01:30:51,998 I think what Nintendo wants is a piece of the pie and to protect 2111 01:30:51,998 --> 01:30:53,018 their IP at the same time. 2112 01:30:54,453 --> 01:30:57,373 All they have to do is publish PowerWorld on Nintendo Switch, and that'd be a, 2113 01:30:57,413 --> 01:30:58,823 that'd be, that'd be a power move. 2114 01:31:00,063 --> 01:31:00,923 But on the Switch too. 2115 01:31:01,023 --> 01:31:05,253 the, they're not going to go the, the, the, uh, make a friend route, which 2116 01:31:05,273 --> 01:31:06,703 would make them probably more money. 2117 01:31:06,723 --> 01:31:08,713 Like people are stupid these days. 2118 01:31:08,713 --> 01:31:11,243 Like it's probably an ego thing potentially to 2119 01:31:11,333 --> 01:31:12,183 That makes sense. 2120 01:31:12,243 --> 01:31:14,403 higher, higher ups have like weird egos. 2121 01:31:15,413 --> 01:31:17,723 And so, speaking of which, uh, we were supposed to talk about 2122 01:31:17,723 --> 01:31:22,053 this last week, but, uh, Steam published a bunch of new policies. 2123 01:31:22,073 --> 01:31:23,103 First and foremost 2124 01:31:23,103 --> 01:31:28,573 was the whole early access thing, in which games that haven't been updated in 2125 01:31:28,603 --> 01:31:34,098 a while They get a little notification in the early access box that says it hasn't 2126 01:31:34,098 --> 01:31:36,618 been updated in like so so amount of time. 2127 01:31:37,368 --> 01:31:39,968 Like for example here, we have a game here called Cavern 2128 01:31:39,968 --> 01:31:40,598 Kings. 2129 01:31:40,598 --> 01:31:40,988 hmm. 2130 01:31:41,073 --> 01:31:41,553 And 2131 01:31:41,738 --> 01:31:42,368 Eight years 2132 01:31:42,403 --> 01:31:43,183 8 years ago. 2133 01:31:43,183 --> 01:31:44,173 yes, that's correct. 2134 01:31:46,183 --> 01:31:46,793 So, 2135 01:31:46,963 --> 01:31:48,783 they need to probably put it in red. 2136 01:31:48,993 --> 01:31:51,133 If it's past a certain point, they need to put it in red and 2137 01:31:51,133 --> 01:31:54,903 be like, this is abandoned or it's done and they just didn't, 2138 01:31:54,923 --> 01:31:56,933 they're, they're just didn't want to 2139 01:31:56,973 --> 01:31:59,993 while Valve doesn't want to deter people from sales if they're super 2140 01:31:59,993 --> 01:32:02,823 determined, like, you know, they still get a little bit of that pie. 2141 01:32:04,323 --> 01:32:06,043 They should because it doesn't look good on them. 2142 01:32:06,043 --> 01:32:10,533 They should deter a sales if it's a mixed review kind of thing like on that game. 2143 01:32:11,008 --> 01:32:12,848 But it looks like the system isn't perfect 2144 01:32:12,928 --> 01:32:14,158 either, because there's another 2145 01:32:14,168 --> 01:32:18,488 game on here called Heartbound, and it says it's, uh, they haven't 2146 01:32:18,498 --> 01:32:22,918 had an update in 13 months, but they just released a patch, like, 2147 01:32:23,108 --> 01:32:25,478 earlier this month, February the 1st. 2148 01:32:26,633 --> 01:32:29,843 Mm. And they had one in, on January 19th as well. 2149 01:32:29,988 --> 01:32:33,948 So, I think the system might be a little flawed. 2150 01:32:34,568 --> 01:32:35,148 For now. 2151 01:32:35,458 --> 01:32:36,328 I'm sure Valve will 2152 01:32:36,393 --> 01:32:36,813 Oh, wait, 2153 01:32:37,228 --> 01:32:37,708 Wait, what? 2154 01:32:37,838 --> 01:32:38,198 What? 2155 01:32:38,673 --> 01:32:43,953 The, the, the, the one on January, in January was just a video, uh, talking 2156 01:32:43,953 --> 01:32:45,993 about the, uh, the future of the game. 2157 01:32:46,143 --> 01:32:47,463 Sorry, it wasn't an actual 2158 01:32:47,718 --> 01:32:48,308 I see. 2159 01:32:48,668 --> 01:32:52,308 It's a, it's a, I wonder if it's like based on like major or 2160 01:32:52,308 --> 01:32:54,678 like, I'm curious how they do. 2161 01:32:55,628 --> 01:32:58,628 I really want to know how they're doing this API and how they're hooking into it 2162 01:32:58,628 --> 01:33:03,588 because I'm looking at, uh, some reviews and this guy, this guy's like, there's 2163 01:33:03,608 --> 01:33:07,928 really not much been that's, that's been completed on this game since 2020. 2164 01:33:08,488 --> 01:33:11,238 Uh, so maybe they patched like a couple of things and worked on just 2165 01:33:11,238 --> 01:33:15,468 a little bit, but for an early access game, it doesn't sound like it's 2166 01:33:15,488 --> 01:33:16,878 coming along like it's supposed to. 2167 01:33:17,273 --> 01:33:17,573 mm 2168 01:33:17,638 --> 01:33:18,088 I guess that's 2169 01:33:18,413 --> 01:33:18,803 Yeah. 2170 01:33:19,713 --> 01:33:23,523 I've had people ask me like, why I haven't done early access for, uh. 2171 01:33:24,358 --> 01:33:27,778 For Chessmas and it's like I don't want to get in this situation, you 2172 01:33:27,778 --> 01:33:32,328 know, like I don't want to be here and disappoint people Who've given me money 2173 01:33:32,893 --> 01:33:36,613 Chess mess would actually work decently because then you'd get more 2174 01:33:36,613 --> 01:33:40,643 feedback on tweaking And if you put I don't know how you feel about putting 2175 01:33:40,703 --> 01:33:44,963 telemetry in it, but like it can help with Optimizing algorithms and 2176 01:33:44,963 --> 01:33:47,493 stuff like that Telemetry that is so 2177 01:33:48,378 --> 01:33:48,818 Yeah, 2178 01:33:48,818 --> 01:33:49,228 so, 2179 01:33:49,428 --> 01:33:51,058 I mean, I don't know. 2180 01:33:51,338 --> 01:33:55,958 I just I I don't I don't like trust early access I just don't like the idea. 2181 01:33:56,028 --> 01:33:57,418 It doesn't sit well with me 2182 01:33:57,688 --> 01:33:57,898 I, 2183 01:33:57,963 --> 01:33:58,283 hurt you 2184 01:33:58,598 --> 01:33:59,588 yeah, it makes sense. 2185 01:33:59,588 --> 01:34:00,368 I understand. 2186 01:34:00,428 --> 01:34:00,698 Yeah. 2187 01:34:00,698 --> 01:34:04,448 'cause a lot of games are just perpetual betas and you don't want 2188 01:34:04,448 --> 01:34:05,378 that reputation. 2189 01:34:06,408 --> 01:34:09,258 So speaking of chess mess, are you putting on an early, are you 2190 01:34:09,258 --> 01:34:10,308 putting on an next best demo? 2191 01:34:10,368 --> 01:34:11,808 I hate to put you on the spot gardener. 2192 01:34:12,578 --> 01:34:15,388 I Haven't had time to figure that out. 2193 01:34:15,398 --> 01:34:16,338 So probably not 2194 01:34:16,348 --> 01:34:16,858 Damn. 2195 01:34:17,728 --> 01:34:17,878 Well 2196 01:34:17,878 --> 01:34:18,178 the next 2197 01:34:18,363 --> 01:34:20,273 when, when is, I don't even know when the next one 2198 01:34:20,508 --> 01:34:23,463 uh, so this upcoming one is in two weeks. 2199 01:34:24,008 --> 01:34:25,148 It starts on the 24th. 2200 01:34:26,413 --> 01:34:26,613 So, 2201 01:34:26,613 --> 01:34:27,313 maybe, 2202 01:34:27,493 --> 01:34:31,253 I haven't had a chance in the last, like, two months to do much 2203 01:34:31,263 --> 01:34:32,643 with Chessmess, unfortunately. 2204 01:34:32,833 --> 01:34:33,293 that's fair 2205 01:34:33,413 --> 01:34:35,683 that's another reason that I don't want to do Early Access. 2206 01:34:36,593 --> 01:34:40,813 The next, uh, next fest after that is in June, so, 2207 01:34:41,323 --> 01:34:43,553 I will, now, that, so there's that too. 2208 01:34:43,853 --> 01:34:47,673 But anyways, there's also one other policy Valve implemented, or I guess 2209 01:34:47,713 --> 01:34:52,703 they implemented years ago, but they finally made a new page for ads on Steam. 2210 01:34:52,723 --> 01:34:53,093 Mm. 2211 01:34:53,963 --> 01:34:55,863 So, how do you feel about advertising? 2212 01:34:55,893 --> 01:34:58,163 I hate ads. 2213 01:34:58,163 --> 01:34:58,573 Me too. 2214 01:35:00,038 --> 01:35:00,558 well, okay. 2215 01:35:00,608 --> 01:35:02,298 I mean, here's the thing with ads. 2216 01:35:02,318 --> 01:35:05,298 If the service is free and you get ads, then. 2217 01:35:06,058 --> 01:35:12,038 Sorry to say, you're, like, YouTube, for example, people try to skirt YouTube ads, 2218 01:35:12,048 --> 01:35:13,678 it's, I don't think it's very ethical. 2219 01:35:14,018 --> 01:35:17,668 If you don't like it, or if they do it too much, then just don't consume YouTube and 2220 01:35:17,668 --> 01:35:21,078 try to find creators that are like Gardner that release it on other platforms. 2221 01:35:21,788 --> 01:35:23,758 Um, do that. 2222 01:35:23,883 --> 01:35:24,583 What I hate? 2223 01:35:24,848 --> 01:35:29,298 people that do that, but you, you're, you're essentially, because it costs 2224 01:35:29,298 --> 01:35:34,228 money, like YouTube is expensive to run and Gardner, you could detest this. 2225 01:35:34,808 --> 01:35:36,858 Uh, you know, your system's not specialized, like where 2226 01:35:36,858 --> 01:35:39,708 YouTube is probably super optimized and always optimizing. 2227 01:35:40,598 --> 01:35:48,878 It costs a lot of money to run a video hosting website, essentially. 2228 01:35:49,168 --> 01:35:54,758 uh, YouTube makes however many, uh, different versions of a single video, 2229 01:35:54,958 --> 01:35:59,058 like most of my videos when I, when I render them are around two and a half 2230 01:35:59,088 --> 01:36:00,808 to four gigabytes, somewhere in there. 2231 01:36:01,238 --> 01:36:03,878 And then I upload that and that bandwidth costs money. 2232 01:36:04,198 --> 01:36:05,328 And then they. 2233 01:36:05,963 --> 01:36:12,053 Take that and they crunch it down into 240p, 360p, and all these other 2234 01:36:12,353 --> 01:36:14,673 resolutions that then you can stream from. 2235 01:36:15,093 --> 01:36:17,613 That's compute time, and that costs a ton of money. 2236 01:36:18,073 --> 01:36:22,843 And, uh, and from, like, for my videos, uh, if I upload the full 2237 01:36:22,843 --> 01:36:30,373 4K video to my, to my, uh, PeerTube instance, then it takes over a day 2238 01:36:30,383 --> 01:36:35,703 for my compute to actually Crunch that down into a PeerTube video. 2239 01:36:36,083 --> 01:36:42,013 So, I have to like, render out my videos separately as at 1080p for, for my, 2240 01:36:42,013 --> 01:36:43,963 uh, subscribe to me PeerTube instance. 2241 01:36:44,713 --> 01:36:48,623 And then that still takes several hours to come, to, to re render. 2242 01:36:48,943 --> 01:36:52,763 So, and then, and then just hosting it indefinitely and the bandwidth that goes 2243 01:36:52,823 --> 01:36:55,643 out the door is a huge expense as well. 2244 01:36:56,073 --> 01:36:58,683 I mean, I remember reading somewhere, and I don't know if this is true, 2245 01:36:58,683 --> 01:37:01,658 but I remember reading somewhere that, um, YouTube PeerTube. 2246 01:37:01,958 --> 01:37:08,708 Is one of the most, uh, like, energy intensive websites in the world. 2247 01:37:08,748 --> 01:37:13,708 Like, it takes more energy to run YouTube than most other websites combined. 2248 01:37:13,738 --> 01:37:17,768 Like, it's so incredibly expensive in terms of energy use. 2249 01:37:17,788 --> 01:37:18,478 don't doubt that. 2250 01:37:18,508 --> 01:37:21,618 So, I will say, yes, I said I hate advertising. 2251 01:37:21,648 --> 01:37:23,478 I understand advertising if used 2252 01:37:23,478 --> 01:37:26,228 for a service that you get for free, like 2253 01:37:26,238 --> 01:37:27,698 YouTube, naturally. 2254 01:37:28,208 --> 01:37:32,608 But, I also don't like it when, say, for example, Disney Plus 2255 01:37:32,608 --> 01:37:36,378 implements ads in their, in all their tiers, I should mention. 2256 01:37:36,978 --> 01:37:38,098 That's bullshit. 2257 01:37:38,768 --> 01:37:41,028 I paid money so I don't watch ads. 2258 01:37:41,678 --> 01:37:43,668 Now you're telling me I have to watch ads anyways? 2259 01:37:45,023 --> 01:37:45,523 Yep. 2260 01:37:45,638 --> 01:37:46,088 it's one thing 2261 01:37:46,163 --> 01:37:46,993 That's why I pay. 2262 01:37:46,998 --> 01:37:47,608 yeah. 2263 01:37:48,423 --> 01:37:50,233 That's why I pay for the YouTube premium. 2264 01:37:50,558 --> 01:37:51,008 Me too. 2265 01:37:51,313 --> 01:37:53,553 I don't want to watch the ads, so I'm going to pay for it. 2266 01:37:53,623 --> 01:37:55,893 Like, I treated, I watch a lot of YouTube. 2267 01:37:55,903 --> 01:37:57,603 So, and I want to support them. 2268 01:37:57,603 --> 01:38:01,673 I like, I like YouTube, whether or not Google has, I have issues 2269 01:38:01,673 --> 01:38:05,793 with Google, but, um, I'm going to, I'm going to support it. 2270 01:38:05,793 --> 01:38:06,443 I'm going to do that. 2271 01:38:06,703 --> 01:38:11,203 But these other companies are going just out of control with these 2272 01:38:11,283 --> 01:38:13,643 ads, with these ads, even for paid. 2273 01:38:13,723 --> 01:38:16,033 Like, I'm about ready to be done with my Prime 2274 01:38:16,383 --> 01:38:20,083 Like, they shouldn't, like, there shouldn't be a TA where you pay 2275 01:38:20,083 --> 01:38:21,623 for money and still get ads. 2276 01:38:22,103 --> 01:38:22,723 My opinion. 2277 01:38:23,633 --> 01:38:24,213 I mean, I 2278 01:38:24,223 --> 01:38:24,753 guess if It's 2279 01:38:24,753 --> 01:38:27,683 cheaper, I can kind of see it, but at the 2280 01:38:27,683 --> 01:38:28,893 same time, though, 2281 01:38:29,603 --> 01:38:29,783 makes 2282 01:38:30,123 --> 01:38:35,443 I don't want to, I want, I want a tier that has no ads and isn't 2283 01:38:35,543 --> 01:38:39,163 obscenely expensive, like fucking Netflix or some bullshit like that. 2284 01:38:39,603 --> 01:38:40,303 Netflix 2285 01:38:40,303 --> 01:38:42,633 is ungodly expensive. 2286 01:38:42,633 --> 01:38:45,083 and They only have, like, maybe Two shows that are 2287 01:38:45,083 --> 01:38:45,793 worth watching. 2288 01:38:46,413 --> 01:38:46,953 Um, 2289 01:38:47,133 --> 01:38:52,393 have stuff on and off that I like, but it's hard to justify every month, 2290 01:38:52,393 --> 01:38:54,483 and so I really sh I don't know. 2291 01:38:54,533 --> 01:38:57,373 I'm starting to go the route of, I'm gonna start buying, I think, 2292 01:38:57,873 --> 01:38:59,963 uh, just individual shows instead 2293 01:39:00,093 --> 01:39:00,613 Yeah. 2294 01:39:01,473 --> 01:39:05,423 I mean, to be honest, shows, there aren't too many shows that are really worth it 2295 01:39:05,423 --> 01:39:08,963 if you're not super into, like, if you're not into anime, because they do do, they 2296 01:39:08,963 --> 01:39:10,653 do, like, bring over quite a bit of anime. 2297 01:39:11,073 --> 01:39:11,623 I will say. 2298 01:39:11,873 --> 01:39:14,813 They do, but then just get a fu uh, not Funimation. 2299 01:39:15,113 --> 01:39:15,923 What's the, uh, 2300 01:39:15,933 --> 01:39:16,623 Like Crunchyroll? 2301 01:39:16,633 --> 01:39:17,573 get a Crunchyroll. 2302 01:39:17,703 --> 01:39:19,663 I think they're that's actually not that expensive. 2303 01:39:19,703 --> 01:39:22,283 well, what I'm saying is they have some animes that aren't 2304 01:39:22,313 --> 01:39:23,983 on Crunchyroll, unfortunately. 2305 01:39:24,113 --> 01:39:24,533 That are, 2306 01:39:24,783 --> 01:39:26,973 That are, like, they have, yeah, you buy those, 2307 01:39:27,113 --> 01:39:30,653 those, you can buy on like Apple TV or whatever, which, 2308 01:39:31,363 --> 01:39:34,613 But outside of anime, like, they have, like, two shows, like, they have, they 2309 01:39:34,613 --> 01:39:37,353 have Squid Game and Stranger Things. 2310 01:39:38,503 --> 01:39:39,503 yeah, which, 2311 01:39:39,593 --> 01:39:42,903 are, like, their two most prominent shows, and, like, and, like, 2312 01:39:43,913 --> 01:39:46,543 Stranger Things, I think, is about to end, I think, isn't it? 2313 01:39:47,653 --> 01:39:48,433 I think so. 2314 01:39:48,838 --> 01:39:49,128 Yeah. 2315 01:39:49,353 --> 01:39:49,923 And 2316 01:39:49,993 --> 01:39:55,523 Squid Game Season 3, I don't know if that's gonna be the end or not, per se. 2317 01:39:55,523 --> 01:39:58,893 They kind of like split season two and a half from what I understand, but I don't 2318 01:39:58,893 --> 01:40:02,643 know it's Anyways, so here are some supported. 2319 01:40:02,703 --> 01:40:08,393 So there valves guidelines for supported ads includes product placement like for 2320 01:40:08,393 --> 01:40:13,273 example death strandings monster ads where the guy the main character drinks 2321 01:40:13,573 --> 01:40:18,028 cans of monster I don't know about you, but I think Monster is kind of not good. 2322 01:40:18,998 --> 01:40:19,618 Not just not 2323 01:40:19,618 --> 01:40:21,518 good for you, but just not good, period. 2324 01:40:22,293 --> 01:40:22,743 Yeah. 2325 01:40:23,198 --> 01:40:25,968 Every energy drink is like that though, like, they all taste the 2326 01:40:25,968 --> 01:40:28,508 same and if you drink it enough you get an acquired taste to it. 2327 01:40:28,848 --> 01:40:29,628 Um, 2328 01:40:30,348 --> 01:40:31,058 Maybe that's what it is. 2329 01:40:31,098 --> 01:40:31,768 I'm not really 2330 01:40:32,028 --> 01:40:38,408 I don't, I don't know if I care so much if there's paid advertisement for 2331 01:40:38,408 --> 01:40:43,248 products in games, but do note that if you start doing, like these companies 2332 01:40:43,248 --> 01:40:48,198 start doing it, it will be a little off putting or could really throw you off. 2333 01:40:48,938 --> 01:40:51,488 Uh, depending on what type of game you're making, so, 2334 01:40:51,708 --> 01:40:52,728 so let's see what else. 2335 01:40:52,808 --> 01:40:54,338 Yeah, so let's see what else there is. 2336 01:40:54,338 --> 01:40:56,018 There's also cross promotions. 2337 01:40:56,548 --> 01:40:59,568 This includes things like bundles with other games. 2338 01:40:59,858 --> 01:41:03,538 Like, let's see what else, it includes other Steam products, products outside 2339 01:41:03,538 --> 01:41:08,448 of Steam, those are encouraged, yada yada yada, I don't know, paid 2340 01:41:08,458 --> 01:41:12,078 advertising outside of Steam, okay, there's no way they could ever ban that, 2341 01:41:12,078 --> 01:41:15,598 because like imagine if you couldn't advertise your game, and advertise 2342 01:41:15,598 --> 01:41:16,858 the fact that it's on Steam, like 2343 01:41:16,868 --> 01:41:17,708 that would be bullshit. 2344 01:41:17,788 --> 01:41:17,988 it? 2345 01:41:18,708 --> 01:41:19,628 No, it's supported. 2346 01:41:19,718 --> 01:41:20,448 It says paid 2347 01:41:20,458 --> 01:41:21,758 advertising outside of Steam. 2348 01:41:22,098 --> 01:41:26,498 Developers may want to run paid advertising to drive traffic 2349 01:41:26,498 --> 01:41:28,078 to your Steam product pages. 2350 01:41:28,708 --> 01:41:30,178 Okay, now here's what's not 2351 01:41:30,378 --> 01:41:30,988 Oh 2352 01:41:31,218 --> 01:41:31,438 Here's 2353 01:41:31,548 --> 01:41:32,798 Okay, I was looking at the wrong page. 2354 01:41:33,038 --> 01:41:33,368 Okay. 2355 01:41:33,368 --> 01:41:35,973 Hmm 2356 01:41:36,268 --> 01:41:40,148 utilize paid advertising as a business model in their game, such as requiring 2357 01:41:40,188 --> 01:41:44,278 players to watch or otherwise engage with advertising to play, or 2358 01:41:44,308 --> 01:41:46,308 getting gameplay behind advertising. 2359 01:41:48,118 --> 01:41:52,423 If your game's business model relies on these, You'll need to 2360 01:41:52,423 --> 01:41:53,803 remove this from shipping on Steam. 2361 01:41:54,423 --> 01:41:57,783 Other options you should, you could consider, including switching to a single 2362 01:41:57,783 --> 01:42:00,543 purchase paid app, you know, like a game. 2363 01:42:01,073 --> 01:42:03,853 Or making it free to play with optional microtransactions or DLCs. 2364 01:42:05,583 --> 01:42:08,343 And I mean, yeah, I can agree with that. 2365 01:42:09,023 --> 01:42:12,033 Developers should not use advertising in a way to provide value to players, such 2366 01:42:12,033 --> 01:42:16,053 as giving players a reward for watching or engaging with advertising in their games. 2367 01:42:16,063 --> 01:42:21,543 So, some games, not even gotcha games, like some like crappy free to play game. 2368 01:42:22,473 --> 01:42:24,903 Will make you watch ads and you'll get premium currency for 2369 01:42:24,903 --> 01:42:25,113 it. 2370 01:42:25,993 --> 01:42:28,793 Wasn't, wasn't FIFA like two years ago doing 2371 01:42:29,063 --> 01:42:29,543 Yeah. 2372 01:42:29,603 --> 01:42:31,963 so, okay, so, here's my thing. 2373 01:42:31,973 --> 01:42:35,493 So, sports players are okay with ads in their games because it's 2374 01:42:35,493 --> 01:42:38,843 more immersive and there's actually ads in sports, in sporting events, 2375 01:42:39,193 --> 01:42:40,863 but like, that's bullshit too. 2376 01:42:42,073 --> 01:42:42,403 Yeah. 2377 01:42:42,833 --> 01:42:43,313 Like, especially if 2378 01:42:43,313 --> 01:42:46,213 you're paying, I'm not, like, if you're paying, oh, sorry, go ahead. 2379 01:42:46,983 --> 01:42:49,643 Put, put a clause in for them because they're brainbroken. 2380 01:42:49,663 --> 01:42:50,833 Just let them have their ads. 2381 01:42:51,913 --> 01:42:52,523 Fuck them. 2382 01:42:52,623 --> 01:42:55,313 And then, and then everyone else doesn't need ads. 2383 01:42:55,958 --> 01:42:57,198 see developers should 2384 01:42:57,293 --> 01:43:01,313 What, what good is a rule if it doesn't also protect the brain broke? 2385 01:43:03,523 --> 01:43:07,233 I know, but like, at least they're doing that instead 2386 01:43:07,388 --> 01:43:08,978 a tax on the poor that's what it is. 2387 01:43:09,843 --> 01:43:10,863 Oh my gosh, the tax. 2388 01:43:11,713 --> 01:43:13,093 I mean, yeah, probably 2389 01:43:13,748 --> 01:43:17,728 should not charge other developers for access to steam features. 2390 01:43:18,218 --> 01:43:18,718 Wait, what? 2391 01:43:19,048 --> 01:43:19,838 You can do this? 2392 01:43:20,848 --> 01:43:21,208 What? 2393 01:43:22,403 --> 01:43:23,153 say that again. 2394 01:43:23,253 --> 01:43:23,943 So wait, what? 2395 01:43:24,023 --> 01:43:24,263 So 2396 01:43:24,708 --> 01:43:25,838 Here's the whole phrase. 2397 01:43:26,198 --> 01:43:30,138 Developers should not charge other developers for access to Steam features. 2398 01:43:30,148 --> 01:43:35,638 This includes sale pages, bundles, store pages, franchise pages, etc. 2399 01:43:36,893 --> 01:43:37,433 so 2400 01:43:37,793 --> 01:43:41,993 I've seen, I've gotten emails from companies that are trying 2401 01:43:41,993 --> 01:43:47,313 to like sell me Access to, like, getting my game in bundles and, 2402 01:43:47,313 --> 01:43:49,223 and getting them in sales on Steam. 2403 01:43:49,393 --> 01:43:53,733 So, I think that's proba like, it's like prom reselling Steam's promotional 2404 01:43:53,733 --> 01:43:55,093 stuff without Valve's permission. 2405 01:43:55,913 --> 01:43:56,393 yeah, 2406 01:43:56,538 --> 01:43:56,768 when you put 2407 01:43:56,768 --> 01:43:57,918 it like that, it makes more sense. 2408 01:43:58,008 --> 01:43:58,898 I was a little confused about 2409 01:43:58,898 --> 01:44:01,458 that clause, but shit, man. 2410 01:44:02,453 --> 01:44:03,733 well, steam features too. 2411 01:44:03,763 --> 01:44:04,443 Like that's. 2412 01:44:05,523 --> 01:44:09,483 There's some game engines that integrate with, uh, Steam and they 2413 01:44:09,483 --> 01:44:11,613 could be trying to sell maybe also 2414 01:44:11,913 --> 01:44:12,453 Oh, 2415 01:44:12,513 --> 01:44:13,923 unlocking features through that too. 2416 01:44:14,943 --> 01:44:15,163 does 2417 01:44:15,163 --> 01:44:16,013 make sense. 2418 01:44:16,063 --> 01:44:22,173 Yeah, you have two people that have access to Steam's development, like, suites. 2419 01:44:22,183 --> 01:44:23,423 So they know what's going on. 2420 01:44:23,573 --> 01:44:24,383 I don't know shit. 2421 01:44:25,353 --> 01:44:27,433 But hey, that's why 2422 01:44:27,463 --> 01:44:28,123 they're here. 2423 01:44:29,173 --> 01:44:29,713 Could be it. 2424 01:44:30,123 --> 01:44:34,553 But I think gardeners like right on though, like that is a becoming more 2425 01:44:34,553 --> 01:44:37,223 of a, a trend people are trying to, 2426 01:44:37,443 --> 01:44:39,033 Yeah, it, 2427 01:44:39,653 --> 01:44:42,533 it sucks that people try, like, actively try to scam you. 2428 01:44:43,273 --> 01:44:43,673 So, 2429 01:44:43,948 --> 01:44:47,698 does that, does, will that potentially kill Humble Bundle though? 2430 01:44:48,773 --> 01:44:49,823 I don't, I doubt 2431 01:44:49,938 --> 01:44:52,788 It's not directly on Steam, it's, it's, but they're still selling 2432 01:44:53,078 --> 01:44:57,178 Well, like, some of the stuff that I've seen is like, oh, Godot integrations 2433 01:44:57,188 --> 01:45:02,228 that will, like, you know, help you easily add whatever to your game, and 2434 01:45:02,228 --> 01:45:06,978 it's like, dude, literally those, it's so easy to do without an integration. 2435 01:45:07,403 --> 01:45:11,313 Yeah, but if someone like then don't buy them like do you integrate 2436 01:45:11,313 --> 01:45:16,713 it yourself if you want like I'm okay with like Plugins for engines 2437 01:45:16,713 --> 01:45:18,413 that will make it a little easier. 2438 01:45:18,453 --> 01:45:21,563 I'm okay with that kind of Unreal does that too? 2439 01:45:21,563 --> 01:45:27,313 But at the same time, I don't know Yeah 2440 01:45:27,978 --> 01:45:31,688 Steam, Godot Steam or whatever it's called, which is like an open source. 2441 01:45:32,023 --> 01:45:36,093 Integration that like, just makes it easy to access the Steam API. 2442 01:45:36,613 --> 01:45:41,473 Um, but like, there, there's people that use, that in, like, sell 2443 01:45:41,473 --> 01:45:44,253 products that are supposed to like, get you more sales on Steam and it's 2444 01:45:44,253 --> 01:45:46,193 like, they're scams first of all, 2445 01:45:46,273 --> 01:45:46,973 Yeah, I agree 2446 01:45:47,083 --> 01:45:47,633 to do that. 2447 01:45:47,993 --> 01:45:49,143 Yeah, I agree with that. 2448 01:45:49,553 --> 01:45:52,373 Yeah, it definitely need we need some protections around that so I 2449 01:45:52,688 --> 01:45:53,228 Yeah. 2450 01:45:53,528 --> 01:45:59,438 so the cap office topic, I mean, early access games, people really should, 2451 01:45:59,558 --> 01:46:04,658 people really shouldn't be buying games based on a promise of like feature sales. 2452 01:46:04,658 --> 01:46:07,738 They should be buying games not based on what it is now. 2453 01:46:07,738 --> 01:46:12,208 That's my genuine opinion, and I think that's why early access games are okay. 2454 01:46:12,208 --> 01:46:15,518 That's why I have less of an issue with them than most people might 'cause. 2455 01:46:15,518 --> 01:46:16,448 I understand that. 2456 01:46:16,448 --> 01:46:20,048 You know, a game may not be getting updates as intended. 2457 01:46:21,343 --> 01:46:21,643 Hm. 2458 01:46:22,948 --> 01:46:25,918 It's like how you, it's like how you wouldn't buy, what 2459 01:46:25,918 --> 01:46:28,458 was that one, the Rabbit R1? 2460 01:46:28,638 --> 01:46:31,748 People bought it on a promise for some bullshit, but you 2461 01:46:31,758 --> 01:46:32,518 really shouldn't have done 2462 01:46:32,518 --> 01:46:32,888 that. 2463 01:46:34,948 --> 01:46:35,988 Oh, yeah. 2464 01:46:36,018 --> 01:46:39,948 know, funny story, they, funny story, they contacted me, said they, said 2465 01:46:39,948 --> 01:46:41,478 that I would be getting a review unit. 2466 01:46:41,908 --> 01:46:42,838 And then I never got one, 2467 01:46:43,933 --> 01:46:44,303 Mm. 2468 01:46:44,588 --> 01:46:45,188 so. 2469 01:46:46,238 --> 01:46:46,928 Could be a good thing. 2470 01:46:47,118 --> 01:46:49,258 Yeah, probably a good thing too, I wouldn't have known what to 2471 01:46:49,358 --> 01:46:54,828 I think they got, they got roasted way too hard by going with big creators. 2472 01:46:56,708 --> 01:46:59,298 You're like, yeah, they got destroyed. 2473 01:47:00,688 --> 01:47:02,758 And the thing is, I like the idea of a personal AI. 2474 01:47:02,788 --> 01:47:06,928 We've talked about this, like, Gardner, I believe, um, about how I 2475 01:47:06,928 --> 01:47:12,158 want to train and name my pet AI in my house and have it do my chores. 2476 01:47:12,358 --> 01:47:12,738 Like, 2477 01:47:13,428 --> 01:47:14,748 Wash my dishes. 2478 01:47:14,928 --> 01:47:17,948 but Well, digital chores, starting out. 2479 01:47:19,238 --> 01:47:19,748 House. 2480 01:47:19,918 --> 01:47:20,538 And then I'll get a 2481 01:47:20,793 --> 01:47:21,993 Organize my emails, 2482 01:47:24,378 --> 01:47:26,568 Read my emails and tell me if there's anything important. 2483 01:47:26,878 -->

2486 01:47:33,598 --> 01:47:35,968 I'm gonna call it something like a, I don't know. 2487 01:47:38,708 --> 01:47:39,578 Ca Casa. 2488 01:47:40,343 --> 01:47:42,833 dojo casa house. 2489 01:47:44,008 --> 01:47:44,368 Oh my 2490 01:47:44,548 --> 01:47:49,578 Well, one of the, I think one of the, um, names that you can give Home 2491 01:47:49,578 --> 01:47:54,118 Assistant when, when you have like your, your AI assistant built in is 2492 01:47:54,128 --> 01:47:59,868 Nabucasa, which is like the company that makes, um, that makes Home Assistant. 2493 01:47:59,878 --> 01:48:00,168 So, 2494 01:48:00,253 --> 01:48:00,913 Oh, that's cool. 2495 01:48:01,948 --> 01:48:02,278 Yeah. 2496 01:48:02,893 --> 01:48:06,303 so, are you guys ready for a tale as old as time? 2497 01:48:08,468 --> 01:48:08,888 Yeah. 2498 01:48:09,163 --> 01:48:09,683 games? 2499 01:48:10,168 --> 01:48:13,478 makes people violent and do violent crimes. 2500 01:48:13,738 --> 01:48:14,558 Tell me you haven't heard that one 2501 01:48:14,558 --> 01:48:14,908 before. 2502 01:48:16,148 --> 01:48:18,278 And this is coming back and this is gonna be a new thing. 2503 01:48:18,308 --> 01:48:20,758 So, Just in time for GTA 6. 2504 01:48:20,938 --> 01:48:25,958 So, the one good thing that Take Two has done recently is said that violent 2505 01:48:25,958 --> 01:48:27,878 video games doesn't make people violent. 2506 01:48:28,288 --> 01:48:31,758 I mean, obviously it's to protect the sales of, like, their cash cow, but still. 2507 01:48:32,493 --> 01:48:35,383 Yeah, of course, they're going to have a huge interest in this. 2508 01:48:36,168 --> 01:48:36,648 So, 2509 01:48:39,508 --> 01:48:43,378 I think, if violent video games made us all violent, that we would all be 2510 01:48:43,568 --> 01:48:46,058 a new breed of super serial killers. 2511 01:48:48,253 --> 01:48:48,513 Yeah. 2512 01:48:48,573 --> 01:48:52,933 Uh, I mean, so here, they're going to start to, they're going 2513 01:48:52,933 --> 01:48:54,403 to try to fight the data on this. 2514 01:48:54,403 --> 01:48:59,333 The statistics, the statistics show that every year we're getting less violent, 2515 01:48:59,343 --> 01:49:03,183 less, like less crimes and stuff like that beyond shoplifting, which is, 2516 01:49:04,083 --> 01:49:05,383 that doesn't count, I don't think. 2517 01:49:06,353 --> 01:49:07,073 So. 2518 01:49:07,448 --> 01:49:09,518 I'm really curious to see how they're going to fight this, but I 2519 01:49:09,518 --> 01:49:11,918 can guarantee you in the next few years you're going to see rhetoric of 2520 01:49:11,918 --> 01:49:13,828 trying to ban certain types of games. 2521 01:49:14,328 --> 01:49:14,758 Oh, yeah. 2522 01:49:15,318 --> 01:49:15,688 Well, 2523 01:49:15,748 --> 01:49:16,588 coming back. 2524 01:49:17,178 --> 01:49:22,968 the cynical part of me is saying it, isn't it convenient that this argument. 2525 01:49:23,368 --> 01:49:26,198 Is rearing its head again, just as Take Two's about to 2526 01:49:26,198 --> 01:49:28,518 start marketing the next GTA. 2527 01:49:28,703 --> 01:49:32,463 Are you, oh, are you saying Oh, dude, wait. 2528 01:49:32,863 --> 01:49:37,193 This reminds me of, uh Do you guys remember Dante's Inferno? 2529 01:49:38,193 --> 01:49:38,563 On, like, 2530 01:49:38,563 --> 01:49:39,643 the Xbox 360? 2531 01:49:40,123 --> 01:49:43,263 How they made it, how they had, how they hired a bunch of guys 2532 01:49:43,273 --> 01:49:44,993 to be, like, fake protesters? 2533 01:49:46,023 --> 01:49:46,443 Is that what you're, 2534 01:49:46,753 --> 01:49:47,163 uh, is that. 2535 01:49:47,163 --> 01:49:47,963 what you're suggesting? 2536 01:49:49,778 --> 01:49:50,928 It's more than that. 2537 01:49:51,388 --> 01:49:58,428 It's more than that, because Grand Theft Auto Has always used highly controversial 2538 01:49:58,688 --> 01:50:00,808 stuff to market their games, right? 2539 01:50:00,848 --> 01:50:02,893 Like They always have. 2540 01:50:02,893 --> 01:50:05,033 Rockstar, that's like one of the things they're notorious for. 2541 01:50:05,033 --> 01:50:09,033 Even when they were DMA Design, they were always using, like, I mean, some of 2542 01:50:09,033 --> 01:50:11,183 the Lemmings advertisements were insane. 2543 01:50:11,793 --> 01:50:16,923 And so it's like, they have always kind of capitalized on controversy in order 2544 01:50:16,923 --> 01:50:19,743 to get their, like, sell their games. 2545 01:50:19,743 --> 01:50:21,173 And it's like, I don't know. 2546 01:50:21,263 --> 01:50:22,343 I, I don't know. 2547 01:50:22,623 --> 01:50:23,443 Am I cynical? 2548 01:50:23,483 --> 01:50:26,533 Or is it just kind of their MO at this point? 2549 01:50:26,573 --> 01:50:26,723 It 2550 01:50:26,723 --> 01:50:26,903 is 2551 01:50:27,023 --> 01:50:27,793 wouldn't be shocked, 2552 01:50:28,143 --> 01:50:28,763 Yes. 2553 01:50:29,433 --> 01:50:34,923 they are one of the most mainstream, uh, and very questionable 2554 01:50:34,963 --> 01:50:39,033 content, because you can do about anything, right, in a GTA title. 2555 01:50:39,033 --> 01:50:42,053 So I can get why this is, like, in the crosshairs. 2556 01:50:42,603 --> 01:50:47,318 And growing up, um In the homeschool community, I can guarantee like 2557 01:50:47,318 --> 01:50:51,498 there's a, there are groups that aren't paid to go after this in the, 2558 01:50:51,538 --> 01:50:54,168 in the nineties in two thousands. 2559 01:50:54,168 --> 01:50:55,698 It was big, but I agree. 2560 01:50:55,698 --> 01:50:59,378 Like it's starting to feel like a trend to where they, they saw that I helped them. 2561 01:50:59,708 --> 01:51:01,008 And so maybe they're playing off of it. 2562 01:51:01,208 --> 01:51:01,538 I just, 2563 01:51:01,683 --> 01:51:02,133 yeah. 2564 01:51:02,598 --> 01:51:03,038 we'll see. 2565 01:51:03,223 --> 01:51:03,603 Well, 2566 01:51:04,443 --> 01:51:07,393 a couple of years ago, it came out that like, the developers 2567 01:51:07,393 --> 01:51:11,923 behind Mortal Kombat were having to get psychological treatment. 2568 01:51:12,553 --> 01:51:17,453 Because their, their bosses were forcing them to look at like real gore and 2569 01:51:17,543 --> 01:51:18,523 oh shit. 2570 01:51:18,583 --> 01:51:22,353 And, and nobody complained back then, dude. 2571 01:51:22,363 --> 01:51:25,003 Like, there was nothing in the media about it. 2572 01:51:25,173 --> 01:51:26,543 Very little, right? 2573 01:51:26,833 --> 01:51:30,103 And now, and now GTA 6 is coming out and you can pee on a hooker. 2574 01:51:30,273 --> 01:51:32,333 And people are getting their panties in a twist. 2575 01:51:32,563 --> 01:51:35,653 I don't, I just, it just doesn't feel authentic to me, 2576 01:51:35,863 --> 01:51:39,473 Yeah, GTA is not even that violent when you look at some of the other violent 2577 01:51:39,473 --> 01:51:45,113 video games these days like, yeah, you can kill people, but like, have you seen more? 2578 01:51:45,193 --> 01:51:48,163 Have you seen a Mortal Kombat fatality in 2025? 2579 01:51:49,548 --> 01:51:51,928 So this might be a very hot take. 2580 01:51:51,928 --> 01:52:01,028 I actually think GTA all the, like, um, GTA 4, 5, 6, uh, should be rated, uh, 18 2581 01:52:02,063 --> 01:52:02,663 Adults only? 2582 01:52:02,688 --> 01:52:09,238 bit, because adults only and because it, I do think it glorifies crime. 2583 01:52:10,193 --> 01:52:10,733 I do too. 2584 01:52:11,273 --> 01:52:11,553 Yeah. 2585 01:52:11,578 --> 01:52:18,038 I don't think it's a very healthy game for, uh, kids to be playing, flat out. 2586 01:52:19,848 --> 01:52:23,978 I, I, I think a respectable adult's fine playing it, like, that's, 2587 01:52:23,978 --> 01:52:28,328 that's, mature's, mature's for 17, but I think it needs to be strapped 2588 01:52:28,328 --> 01:52:31,528 to even more, but at the same time, I'm fine with people playing this. 2589 01:52:31,988 --> 01:52:32,658 I just, 2590 01:52:33,148 --> 01:52:34,598 that'll, as much as I, 2591 01:52:34,658 --> 01:52:37,718 as much, as much as that makes sense, that'll never happen, because 2592 01:52:37,728 --> 01:52:39,208 that would kill console sales. 2593 01:52:39,248 --> 01:52:43,368 Like, like, they still, all the console makers still have the policy 2594 01:52:43,368 --> 01:52:47,528 where they can't, where you cannot put a rated AO game on their system. 2595 01:52:48,498 --> 01:52:51,688 Yeah, but if GTA does, it gets slapped with it, they will 2596 01:52:51,688 --> 01:52:52,618 change it for the consoles. 2597 01:52:52,618 --> 01:52:54,198 I think consoles will allow it at that point. 2598 01:52:54,628 --> 01:52:55,348 that is interesting. 2599 01:52:55,348 --> 01:52:56,188 Yeah, GTA is 2600 01:52:56,308 --> 01:52:57,108 I would agree with that. 2601 01:52:57,633 --> 01:52:58,243 Yeah, 2602 01:52:58,398 --> 01:53:02,998 The other, the flip side of that is that the ESRB is an industry, 2603 01:53:03,138 --> 01:53:07,268 uh, organization, and they're not interested in actually doing that. 2604 01:53:07,518 --> 01:53:07,918 So. 2605 01:53:08,253 --> 01:53:09,083 yeah, let's just slap it with 2606 01:53:09,083 --> 01:53:11,293 a hard M rating and call it a day. 2607 01:53:12,178 --> 01:53:14,038 This is the problem of self governance. 2608 01:53:14,618 --> 01:53:15,608 It doesn't work like 2609 01:53:15,668 --> 01:53:16,138 Right. 2610 01:53:16,463 --> 01:53:17,043 So, 2611 01:53:17,498 --> 01:53:19,498 is our piece of joke, but 2612 01:53:19,613 --> 01:53:21,843 violent video game, yeah, sorry, go 2613 01:53:21,843 --> 01:53:22,233 ahead. 2614 01:53:22,998 --> 01:53:25,168 no, I was just, I'd rather have it be available than to 2615 01:53:25,178 --> 01:53:26,308 have it be completely banned. 2616 01:53:26,318 --> 01:53:27,178 I'll just say that. 2617 01:53:27,628 --> 01:53:29,338 I just think, yeah. 2618 01:53:29,743 --> 01:53:32,853 so, video games. 2619 01:53:33,983 --> 01:53:37,283 I think, I'm sure, not a lot of people talk about it anymore. 2620 01:53:37,373 --> 01:53:42,323 Because, like, it's been proven time and time again that violent video games 2621 01:53:43,173 --> 01:53:48,563 Aren't making like these super serial killers, but it shows up again because, 2622 01:53:48,583 --> 01:53:50,723 you know, some people are impressionable. 2623 01:53:50,733 --> 01:53:52,693 Some people do copy things. 2624 01:53:52,773 --> 01:53:56,703 I'm sure there's at least one case inspired by GTA. 2625 01:53:58,138 --> 01:53:58,478 Yeah. 2626 01:53:59,158 --> 01:54:04,238 Well, I mean, like, like I said, and James said this, uh, like, it. 2627 01:54:04,663 --> 01:54:11,123 It does glorify violence, and it does, uh, crime especially, but at the same time, 2628 01:54:11,123 --> 01:54:16,253 it's like, what in our culture doesn't, you know, like, I'm not amenable to the 2629 01:54:16,253 --> 01:54:21,763 argument that, um, we'd all be super serial killers because we're all playing 2630 01:54:21,763 --> 01:54:26,333 violent games, but there are certainly people who are influenced by, uh, the 2631 01:54:26,333 --> 01:54:30,883 violence that they act out in GTA or the violence that they watch on TV or in 2632 01:54:30,883 --> 01:54:38,213 movies, like, so for me, it's like, How can we, I don't want to say moralize, but 2633 01:54:38,213 --> 01:54:44,383 like, how can we, like, help games, like, improve our situation in, as a culture? 2634 01:54:44,393 --> 01:54:46,053 Like, that's where my head's at with 2635 01:54:46,333 --> 01:54:49,673 Well, I think the problem is that a lot of people, especially 2636 01:54:49,673 --> 01:54:54,073 younger people, are having a harder time these days differentiating 2637 01:54:54,073 --> 01:54:55,823 between reality and fiction. 2638 01:54:57,243 --> 01:54:59,873 like, I've seen, I've seen some of the shit that goes on. 2639 01:54:59,883 --> 01:55:01,653 People like, you ever heard of Kinning? 2640 01:55:03,813 --> 01:55:04,173 No. 2641 01:55:04,208 --> 01:55:04,728 No. 2642 01:55:04,823 --> 01:55:10,463 where like they adopt like a character as their kin and they like act as them like 2643 01:55:10,463 --> 01:55:14,463 their mannerisms and shit It's kind of like role playing but like a lot shittier. 2644 01:55:14,558 --> 01:55:15,018 mean, 2645 01:55:15,593 --> 01:55:18,185 My whole body just physically cringed when 2646 01:55:18,338 --> 01:55:22,228 yeah, that's pretty bad, but I, I think things are just a 2647 01:55:22,228 --> 01:55:23,008 little bit more normalized. 2648 01:55:23,008 --> 01:55:24,418 I think that was happening a while ago, 2649 01:55:24,563 --> 01:55:25,093 Yeah, that's 2650 01:55:25,198 --> 01:55:29,728 neurodivergent autistic people are potentially going to do stuff like that. 2651 01:55:30,078 --> 01:55:31,998 Not saying that's all, you know, you know what I'm saying? 2652 01:55:31,998 --> 01:55:40,968 Like it is fine, but I think mental health needs to be the, the crux of all this. 2653 01:55:40,968 --> 01:55:44,268 Like they go after violent video games, everything, just make sure you 2654 01:55:44,268 --> 01:55:45,978 have a healthy society and that's. 2655 01:55:47,008 --> 01:55:47,258 I 2656 01:55:47,583 --> 01:55:49,083 also they said about rock and roll 2657 01:55:50,798 --> 01:55:51,118 Yeah. 2658 01:55:51,303 --> 01:55:52,163 and suck sex and 2659 01:55:52,263 --> 01:55:54,173 Rock and Roll was a PsyOps campaign. 2660 01:55:55,223 --> 01:55:57,063 Rock and Roll was a PsyOps campaign. 2661 01:55:57,648 --> 01:55:58,718 Yeah. 2662 01:55:59,343 --> 01:55:59,863 It was made to 2663 01:56:00,033 --> 01:56:02,103 it was made to make rock and roll sell better 2664 01:56:03,278 --> 01:56:05,948 Yeah, no, I don't know, I'm just joking. 2665 01:56:06,358 --> 01:56:09,298 No, it, it, it's, that's a conspiracy theory. 2666 01:56:09,378 --> 01:56:12,098 Gardner hit a, like, that is a thing. 2667 01:56:12,688 --> 01:56:19,868 So, at the end of the day, I don't know why, but we, like, why everyone 2668 01:56:19,868 --> 01:56:23,638 wants to escape, like, go around, but like, mental health and having 2669 01:56:23,638 --> 01:56:29,478 better, uh, mental health checks and all that stuff would be a way around 2670 01:56:29,658 --> 01:56:30,478 I don't know, man. 2671 01:56:30,988 --> 01:56:32,248 Uh, but the 2672 01:56:32,248 --> 01:56:33,148 world calls for wet 2673 01:56:33,173 --> 01:56:34,573 It's a, it's a sticky issue. 2674 01:56:34,858 --> 01:56:36,598 The world calls for wet work and we answer. 2675 01:56:37,378 --> 01:56:38,378 No greater good. 2676 01:56:38,868 --> 01:56:40,138 No just cause. 2677 01:56:41,998 --> 01:56:43,808 Bonus points if you guys know where that came from. 2678 01:56:44,793 --> 01:56:45,453 No idea. 2679 01:56:45,858 --> 01:56:46,358 Metal Gear 2680 01:56:46,358 --> 01:56:47,268 Solid V. 2681 01:56:47,718 --> 01:56:48,148 It is! 2682 01:56:48,218 --> 01:56:48,748 Okay. 2683 01:56:48,783 --> 01:56:50,073 Okay, nice. 2684 01:56:50,268 --> 01:56:52,058 finish it, unfortunately. 2685 01:56:52,208 --> 01:56:53,628 That's like at the beginning of the game. 2686 01:56:54,938 --> 01:56:56,838 I didn't play the beginning of the game in a long time. 2687 01:56:57,738 --> 01:56:58,518 No, I played the beginning. 2688 01:56:59,208 --> 01:57:00,268 I played it, but yeah. 2689 01:57:00,488 --> 01:57:01,638 No, that's why it sounded familiar. 2690 01:57:01,638 --> 01:57:01,888 Okay. 2691 01:57:02,778 --> 01:57:04,848 so, let's see what we got here. 2692 01:57:04,858 --> 01:57:05,878 Microsoft. 2693 01:57:06,538 --> 01:57:07,628 Researches. 2694 01:57:08,683 --> 01:57:14,513 They find that AI use atrophies workers, employees, critical thinking 2695 01:57:14,513 --> 01:57:16,063 skills, makes them unprepared. 2696 01:57:16,463 --> 01:57:18,513 I think that is valid. 2697 01:57:18,683 --> 01:57:21,433 But at the same time though, that happens with any new tool 2698 01:57:21,433 --> 01:57:22,893 that makes life a lot easier. 2699 01:57:23,413 --> 01:57:26,693 I think a lot, a lot of it has to do with just discipline. 2700 01:57:29,043 --> 01:57:29,293 Like 2701 01:57:29,293 --> 01:57:31,553 remember when phones came out and then like 2702 01:57:31,913 --> 01:57:32,273 Mm hmm. 2703 01:57:32,303 --> 01:57:33,183 we, and then like a 2704 01:57:33,183 --> 01:57:36,903 lot of us had trouble keeping their, keeping our phones out of our faces 2705 01:57:36,913 --> 01:57:39,433 when we were doing stuff like at the 2706 01:57:39,443 --> 01:57:41,003 dinner table and shit like 2707 01:57:41,103 --> 01:57:41,423 that. 2708 01:57:42,883 --> 01:57:43,213 Yeah. 2709 01:57:43,253 --> 01:57:44,173 You said, uh 2710 01:57:44,318 -->

dinner. 2718 01:57:57,718 --> 01:57:58,128 family 2719 01:57:58,238 --> 01:58:00,218 Uh, Uh, 2720 01:58:00,528 --> 01:58:04,318 I, I don't doubt the studies. 2721 01:58:04,768 --> 01:58:08,988 But I feel like that's just a thing that happens when something new comes out. 2722 01:58:09,748 --> 01:58:12,098 And that can drastically change workflows. 2723 01:58:14,653 --> 01:58:16,283 I want to see more research into this. 2724 01:58:16,323 --> 01:58:16,993 I want to see more 2725 01:58:17,083 --> 01:58:17,913 Yeah, I feel like 2726 01:58:17,933 --> 01:58:22,033 Uh, here's my, here's my thing of what, well, first off, I mean, it is good that 2727 01:58:22,033 --> 01:58:26,883 it's coming from Microsoft, who's a big proponent of AI, but I want third party 2728 01:58:26,883 --> 01:58:28,503 investigations into a lot of the stuff. 2729 01:58:28,503 --> 01:58:31,923 And I agree, like, I want to see research done into this. 2730 01:58:32,733 --> 01:58:37,373 I do agree that it could atrophy, uh, some critical thinking skills, but 2731 01:58:37,373 --> 01:58:42,203 at the same time for me, I'm extra critical of anything that comes from AI 2732 01:58:42,253 --> 01:58:43,933 because I don't know if it's fully true. 2733 01:58:43,943 --> 01:58:47,978 So sometimes I use it to like, Cause I already do a lot of research 2734 01:58:47,978 --> 01:58:49,638 and I like to summarize things. 2735 01:58:49,648 --> 01:58:55,688 It helps me, it helps augment my skillset, but we'll see, we'll see. 2736 01:58:55,718 --> 01:58:59,108 Maybe in like a year or two, I'll be like, like super stupid. 2737 01:58:59,168 --> 01:59:00,678 So I'm going to be a great test case for this. 2738 01:59:00,678 --> 01:59:07,008 Yeah, 2739 01:59:07,083 --> 01:59:10,563 famously said, I'd rather hire a lazy person. 2740 01:59:11,703 --> 01:59:13,443 You remember, do you, did you hear this? 2741 01:59:13,563 --> 01:59:16,743 Like, he's like, if it comes to hiring someone who's lazy, 2742 01:59:16,743 --> 01:59:19,713 or someone who's a hard worker, I'd rather hire a lazy program. 2743 01:59:20,388 --> 01:59:23,458 Because the lazy programmer is going to find a way, like, work harder 2744 01:59:23,458 --> 01:59:28,038 to find a way to work less than a, than a diligent worker, right? 2745 01:59:28,458 --> 01:59:33,838 And like, that's, I, in my experience, my limited experience working in 2746 01:59:33,838 --> 01:59:39,228 the IT field, I found that many programmers are incredibly lazy, right? 2747 01:59:39,588 --> 01:59:43,988 And so it's like, dude, me too, I'm like, and so like, the idea of like, 2748 01:59:44,188 --> 01:59:51,048 relying on an AI to make decisions for you is, Very appealing to a lot 2749 01:59:51,048 --> 01:59:55,408 of people, myself included, but I know that I can't trust it, right? 2750 01:59:55,428 --> 01:59:59,218 Like, it's not in a place where it can be, like, set on a, you know, set 2751 01:59:59,218 --> 02:00:00,318 and forget, you know what I'm saying? 2752 02:00:00,998 --> 02:00:05,058 The other, the other thing is, though, it's like, uh, some of the 2753 02:00:05,058 --> 02:00:07,778 kids that I've worked with and some of the teachers that I know who are 2754 02:00:07,778 --> 02:00:14,778 talking to me about students These kids grew up on frickin tablets. 2755 02:00:15,048 --> 02:00:16,958 They don't know what a file system is. 2756 02:00:17,148 --> 02:00:20,968 They don't know, they don't know, like, the abstraction Whoops, 2757 02:00:20,968 --> 02:00:22,458 sorry, touched my mic, my mic. 2758 02:00:22,828 --> 02:00:27,008 Uh, they don't know, they don't know how to do basic computing tasks 2759 02:00:27,008 --> 02:00:28,698 because they grew up with a tablet. 2760 02:00:28,958 --> 02:00:32,183 And high tech To your point, that is true. 2761 02:00:32,193 --> 02:00:36,333 Like, when new tools come out, skills atrophy. 2762 02:00:37,043 --> 02:00:39,953 But we have to think about, like, what we're actually building here. 2763 02:00:39,963 --> 02:00:43,493 Like, what kind of world are we building where we don't want 2764 02:00:43,503 --> 02:00:45,563 people to be technically literate? 2765 02:00:45,583 --> 02:00:47,913 What kind of world are we building with AI? 2766 02:00:48,153 --> 02:00:53,813 Where today's kids don't know how to think critically about whatever 2767 02:00:53,813 --> 02:00:57,653 is being fed to them by an AI in 10, 20 years, you know what I'm saying? 2768 02:00:58,023 --> 02:01:01,133 It's just, that's, that's one of the reasons that I included this 2769 02:01:01,143 --> 02:01:05,843 in here because I was like, dude, I, I saw a correlation between the 2770 02:01:06,133 --> 02:01:07,703 kids with tablets and kids with AI. 2771 02:01:08,273 --> 02:01:09,973 I just don't see it being a good thing. 2772 02:01:10,173 --> 02:01:10,363 What 2773 02:01:10,543 --> 02:01:11,653 comes down to we 2774 02:01:12,253 --> 02:01:13,583 I mean, kids with tablets with 2775 02:01:13,653 --> 02:01:15,683 It's going to be where it's going to be worse. 2776 02:01:15,683 --> 02:01:17,273 Like I think Gardner's onto something. 2777 02:01:17,273 --> 02:01:20,513 I think people that are introduced young into this are going to have a hard time. 2778 02:01:21,033 --> 02:01:23,483 And well, they're already having a hard time cause there's no jobs for them. 2779 02:01:23,483 --> 02:01:28,613 But, uh, on top of that, I think this further proves that we need to have 2780 02:01:28,613 --> 02:01:31,623 term limits on our politicians because. 2781 02:01:32,278 --> 02:01:35,928 We're not, we should be getting updated curriculums in schools. 2782 02:01:36,368 --> 02:01:40,028 We should be getting a little bit more laws into some of the stuff to, um, 2783 02:01:40,058 --> 02:01:43,078 allow them to create some of these creating, uh, the critical thinking 2784 02:01:43,078 --> 02:01:47,048 skills, but also still utilize AI and tablets and stuff like that. 2785 02:01:47,048 --> 02:01:51,418 We need better curriculums because in 10 years, some of the stuff 2786 02:01:51,418 --> 02:01:54,318 they're learning in schools are not going to be worth anything. 2787 02:01:54,973 --> 02:01:57,243 I will ensure my nieces and nephews 2788 02:01:57,243 --> 02:01:58,783 know how to do technology. 2789 02:01:59,263 --> 02:02:02,033 That way I don't have to be the single tech guy in my family that 2790 02:02:02,043 --> 02:02:04,073 has to do everything for my family. 2791 02:02:04,653 --> 02:02:05,303 And yeah, you are 2792 02:02:05,303 --> 02:02:05,553 right. 2793 02:02:05,573 --> 02:02:06,503 Lazy people. 2794 02:02:07,383 --> 02:02:07,923 You are right. 2795 02:02:07,943 --> 02:02:11,033 Lazy people will find a way to do less work. 2796 02:02:11,223 --> 02:02:13,993 And, uh, you know, laziness is a sign of genius. 2797 02:02:14,593 --> 02:02:15,883 That and being messy, too. 2798 02:02:16,903 --> 02:02:17,373 So if you're a 2799 02:02:17,468 --> 02:02:18,428 I agree. 2800 02:02:18,563 --> 02:02:19,313 you If you're a 2801 02:02:19,313 --> 02:02:23,423 me If you're a messy, lazy person, you might actually be a genius. 2802 02:02:25,298 --> 02:02:27,148 Now, how can I translate that into success? 2803 02:02:28,123 --> 02:02:28,573 yeah. 2804 02:02:28,753 --> 02:02:31,493 Because, du You'll find a You'll find a 2805 02:02:31,493 --> 02:02:34,073 high paying, lucrative job that asks nothing of you. 2806 02:02:35,428 --> 02:02:39,688 Well, see, see, the lazy, messy people are the ones at C level 2807 02:02:39,728 --> 02:02:41,188 positions at corporations. 2808 02:02:42,003 --> 02:02:42,513 Shit, what 2809 02:02:42,588 --> 02:02:44,248 Like, they're the C level execs. 2810 02:02:44,393 --> 02:02:45,053 Oh, shit, man. 2811 02:02:45,053 --> 02:02:46,073 I guess I'm too clean. 2812 02:02:46,293 --> 02:02:46,843 Because, Uh, 2813 02:02:47,233 --> 02:02:50,333 I guess I'm too clean because I'm not a fucking C level exec. 2814 02:02:51,148 --> 02:02:51,708 right. 2815 02:02:52,983 --> 02:02:56,133 And, man, speaking of AI, you guys hear about Scarlett 2816 02:02:56,133 --> 02:02:59,063 Johansson's call for deepfake bans. 2817 02:03:00,998 --> 02:03:02,318 Yeah, I saw this. 2818 02:03:02,348 --> 02:03:02,848 It's 2819 02:03:03,933 --> 02:03:04,153 there 2820 02:03:04,153 --> 02:03:10,463 was a recent viral video, uh, of Scarlett Johansson wearing a shirt that had, that 2821 02:03:10,613 --> 02:03:15,033 sticks the middle finger up to Kanye West because, uh, well, you know, less 2822 02:03:15,053 --> 02:03:16,643 the less said about him, the better, 2823 02:03:17,948 --> 02:03:19,018 I agree with that. 2824 02:03:19,238 --> 02:03:19,728 Mm hmm. 2825 02:03:19,868 --> 02:03:19,978 Damn. 2826 02:03:20,253 --> 02:03:23,718 but like her concern was that. 2827 02:03:23,978 --> 02:03:25,278 Anyone could just do that. 2828 02:03:25,348 --> 02:03:28,178 Anyone could just make a video of Scarlett Johansson doing 2829 02:03:28,188 --> 02:03:29,288 whatever the fuck they want. 2830 02:03:29,768 --> 02:03:34,348 Then, if you recall, there was a earlier case with Taylor Swift being featured 2831 02:03:34,368 --> 02:03:37,218 in a sexually explicit AI video. 2832 02:03:37,808 --> 02:03:42,078 And she was really pissed off about it, and they passed guidelines to prevent 2833 02:03:42,258 --> 02:03:43,608 that kind of thing from happening again. 2834 02:03:43,948 --> 02:03:45,328 I mean, in terms of sexual content. 2835 02:03:46,623 --> 02:03:50,403 Great that they're listening to like all the rich people, you know, that's the I 2836 02:03:50,403 --> 02:03:55,973 really hate this in some ways like it's very it's like a privilege kind of thing 2837 02:03:55,973 --> 02:03:59,643 where oh you're a big person so you can pass this like this has been going on 2838 02:03:59,643 --> 02:04:05,263 for a long time guys like a deep fake porn deep fake stuff has been going on 2839 02:04:05,263 --> 02:04:11,493 for a very long time um and yeah we need more protections in this area for sure 2840 02:04:12,258 --> 02:04:13,088 And also, I 2841 02:04:13,088 --> 02:04:14,838 believe Scarlett Jo Sorry, go ahead. 2842 02:04:15,908 --> 02:04:17,728 have you guys heard of Blacktail Studio? 2843 02:04:18,598 --> 02:04:19,358 No. 2844 02:04:20,438 --> 02:04:20,948 on YouTube. 2845 02:04:20,948 --> 02:04:25,688 He, he's got like a million followers and he makes like these tables, right? 2846 02:04:25,688 --> 02:04:29,438 Like, uh, they, they're like cherry tables. 2847 02:04:29,438 --> 02:04:34,658 They live edge, but they have like, um, epoxy, they're beautiful tables, right? 2848 02:04:34,988 --> 02:04:40,448 And uh, he just posted a video, I think it was yesterday, a couple days ago, 2849 02:04:40,598 --> 02:04:47,558 where he was talking about a lady in Iowa who got scammed out of $17,000. 2850 02:04:49,098 --> 02:04:53,728 Because someone, some scammer was posing as him and using deepfakes 2851 02:04:53,788 --> 02:04:58,718 of him to, like, ensure, like, to, to shore up their scam, right? 2852 02:04:58,718 --> 02:05:04,498 And so this one lady got scammed out of 17 grand because of the, these scams. 2853 02:05:04,498 --> 02:05:04,838 Yeah. 2854 02:05:05,138 --> 02:05:09,088 And so he, he went and made her a table that she ordered for 17 grand. 2855 02:05:09,368 --> 02:05:11,318 But, like, holy crap, dude. 2856 02:05:11,558 --> 02:05:14,278 Like, deepfakes are, are not a joke. 2857 02:05:14,318 --> 02:05:17,158 Like, there's some real evil shit going on with 2858 02:05:17,278 --> 02:05:19,998 It was used in the election last year too. 2859 02:05:20,388 --> 02:05:25,538 Um, in New Jersey, there were, uh, robot callers that had, uh, voice mimics of 2860 02:05:25,538 --> 02:05:27,808 like, was it Obama or something like that? 2861 02:05:28,823 --> 02:05:29,273 Yep. 2862 02:05:29,308 --> 02:05:31,378 Saying, don't vote out of principle or something like that. 2863 02:05:31,418 --> 02:05:33,938 Yeah, no, it wasn't even, they're just saying don't vote. 2864 02:05:33,968 --> 02:05:36,798 It was, yeah, 2865 02:05:37,423 --> 02:05:37,753 you know, 2866 02:05:37,753 --> 02:05:42,253 so also one more thing too, I should mention, uh, Linus Tech Tips towards 2867 02:05:42,253 --> 02:05:45,453 the beginning of like the whole AI craze back when they start, they 2868 02:05:45,453 --> 02:05:47,433 figured out how to like mimic voices. 2869 02:05:47,463 --> 02:05:52,353 Linus Tech Tips apparently told his bank to not accept any like any 2870 02:05:52,353 --> 02:05:56,223 requests from him at all unless he was there in person at the bank. 2871 02:05:57,383 --> 02:06:01,843 And that's a very good thing to do too, because like you can't deep fake 2872 02:06:01,953 --> 02:06:04,083 a whole person like in real life. 2873 02:06:04,458 --> 02:06:07,698 Yet, until the robots come out that you can 2874 02:06:08,013 --> 02:06:12,403 Uh, do you, did you guys ever watch that movie with Keanu Reeves? 2875 02:06:12,473 --> 02:06:17,333 Uh, where it's like, it was like, no no, it was like animated sort of? 2876 02:06:17,353 --> 02:06:20,203 Like, it was like, I don't remember the name of it. 2877 02:06:20,763 --> 02:06:21,593 Oh god. 2878 02:06:22,098 --> 02:06:22,988 Animated? 2879 02:06:23,313 --> 02:06:26,983 Sonic 3? 2880 02:06:27,178 --> 02:06:28,818 like God damn. 2881 02:06:28,953 --> 02:06:30,263 Uh, A Skinner Darkly. 2882 02:06:30,823 --> 02:06:31,413 No, 2883 02:06:32,708 --> 02:06:34,868 I haven't seen it, but But 2884 02:06:34,903 --> 02:06:41,323 So, that movie is kind of, like, uh, omniscient, like, it kind of knew where 2885 02:06:41,323 --> 02:06:47,233 we were heading, like, uh, people can, like, disguise themselves and stuff. 2886 02:06:47,233 --> 02:06:48,953 If I'm remembering correctly, I haven't seen this in, like, ten 2887 02:06:48,953 --> 02:06:52,263 years, but, like, people can disguise themselves using, like, holograms 2888 02:06:52,263 --> 02:06:53,873 and it's, like, a flawless hologram. 2889 02:06:54,403 --> 02:06:55,553 It's wild, dude. 2890 02:06:56,328 --> 02:06:58,418 It's a cel shaded movie, that's so weird. 2891 02:06:58,583 --> 02:07:01,623 speaking of omniscient, um, pieces of media, have you guys seen an 2892 02:07:01,633 --> 02:07:03,543 anime called Serial Experiments Lane? 2893 02:07:05,223 --> 02:07:05,703 No. 2894 02:07:06,143 --> 02:07:09,293 So, it's an anime that predates the internet, but essentially 2895 02:07:09,313 --> 02:07:13,853 predicts, it essentially predicts what would become the internet, too. 2896 02:07:14,833 --> 02:07:15,263 Hmm. 2897 02:07:15,373 --> 02:07:19,343 It's called The Wired, and essentially it's like It's almost like, it's like part 2898 02:07:19,343 --> 02:07:23,963 social media, part like, the internet, but this was like made in the 90s before 2899 02:07:23,963 --> 02:07:26,383 we actually had like, the internet. 2900 02:07:26,873 --> 02:07:27,343 And it also 2901 02:07:27,343 --> 02:07:30,763 features like a bunch of like, Apple II style computers and stuff too. 2902 02:07:33,628 --> 02:07:36,638 Hackers is the only internet type of movie for me. 2903 02:07:37,723 --> 02:07:38,293 Dude. 2904 02:07:38,633 --> 02:07:39,183 The only thing that 2905 02:07:39,203 --> 02:07:42,563 hasn't aged well from that movie was when people weren't being prejudiced 2906 02:07:42,573 --> 02:07:44,253 for their color of their skin and shit. 2907 02:07:44,383 --> 02:07:45,503 That's what they proclaimed 2908 02:07:45,623 --> 02:07:46,153 in the movie. 2909 02:07:46,178 --> 02:07:46,618 right. 2910 02:07:47,528 --> 02:07:48,028 Yeah, 2911 02:07:49,393 --> 02:07:50,483 So, yeah. 2912 02:07:51,003 --> 02:07:56,593 AI deep, AI can be good, but deep fake is not one of those good uses, especially 2913 02:07:56,603 --> 02:08:02,133 it's like a Hollywood studio uses it to like resurrect dead actors. 2914 02:08:02,133 --> 02:08:06,193 Like, uh, they certainly did that for quite a few Star Wars movies. 2915 02:08:06,193 --> 02:08:06,753 I believe 2916 02:08:07,803 --> 02:08:08,133 Yeah. 2917 02:08:08,213 --> 02:08:09,803 They did it in the new Ghostbusters. 2918 02:08:10,068 --> 02:08:10,268 it. 2919 02:08:10,678 --> 02:08:10,938 Yep. 2920 02:08:10,948 --> 02:08:12,228 Simpsons predicted it, man. 2921 02:08:13,028 --> 02:08:15,558 It's they've predicted a lot of stuff. 2922 02:08:15,658 --> 02:08:20,828 Uh, just the last thing on the AI stuff too, is that yeah, it just, like it's, 2923 02:08:20,838 --> 02:08:23,818 it's progress isn't bad, but we gotta, 2924 02:08:25,303 --> 02:08:25,503 the 2925 02:08:25,558 --> 02:08:27,748 have some protections and be a little skeptical. 2926 02:08:28,123 --> 02:08:30,083 There needs to be safeguards and protections, yes. 2927 02:08:30,093 --> 02:08:31,413 So, speaking of 2928 02:08:31,413 --> 02:08:32,833 which, PlayNet on Linux. 2929 02:08:32,863 --> 02:08:36,203 Gartner actually covered this in a video that he made the other day. 2930 02:08:36,243 --> 02:08:37,243 Uh, PlayNet 2931 02:08:37,303 --> 02:08:42,883 is, of course, a launcher that seeks to compile all of your games into a single 2932 02:08:42,883 --> 02:08:44,693 list, and you can just pick and play them. 2933 02:08:46,478 --> 02:08:47,198 Uh, 2934 02:08:47,309 --> 02:08:51,298 think one of the big issues with PlayNet originally was that The 2935 02:08:51,298 --> 02:08:54,308 developer of many times I said that he couldn't put it over the Linux due 2936 02:08:54,308 --> 02:08:58,768 to it's open source, but he couldn't put it over due to the programming 2937 02:08:58,808 --> 02:09:02,648 lit libraries and such uses and 2938 02:09:02,693 --> 02:09:08,623 Yeah, my understanding is like he's using a, uh, a UI for NET that 2939 02:09:08,633 --> 02:09:10,473 only works on Windows right now. 2940 02:09:10,583 --> 02:09:10,913 But, 2941 02:09:11,288 --> 02:09:11,748 he's using. 2942 02:09:11,918 --> 02:09:12,098 net. 2943 02:09:12,098 --> 02:09:12,348 That's 2944 02:09:12,478 --> 02:09:12,948 Yeah. 2945 02:09:12,948 --> 02:09:14,188 that make, I think, yeah. 2946 02:09:14,188 --> 02:09:14,978 I believe that's what it was. 2947 02:09:15,168 --> 02:09:15,968 net, but, uh, 2948 02:09:18,188 --> 02:09:18,408 play 2949 02:09:18,408 --> 02:09:19,098 nights on 2950 02:09:19,373 --> 02:09:19,553 Well, 2951 02:09:20,158 --> 02:09:24,388 But he also wants to implement like next centric features like proton 2952 02:09:24,418 --> 02:09:26,938 support and integrations with like. 2953 02:09:28,038 --> 02:09:30,188 Epic games through legendary. 2954 02:09:30,203 --> 02:09:33,503 Geo, GDL, all that stuff. 2955 02:09:33,943 --> 02:09:34,893 I mean, it's pretty cool. 2956 02:09:35,183 --> 02:09:35,943 It's pretty cool. 2957 02:09:36,013 --> 02:09:36,293 I'd 2958 02:09:36,473 --> 02:09:41,033 be interested to see how they could make like a game UI sort of interface. 2959 02:09:41,033 --> 02:09:45,803 Like, cause it's a very, like, I'm not sure if the podcast, if everyone 2960 02:09:45,803 --> 02:09:50,103 else knows, I'm sure you guys know this, but like, there's a pretty 2961 02:09:50,103 --> 02:09:54,363 clear difference between like game mode and the big picture mode, right. 2962 02:09:54,473 --> 02:09:55,863 Especially with how you run games. 2963 02:09:55,863 --> 02:09:56,073 Right. 2964 02:09:56,933 --> 02:09:57,293 yeah. 2965 02:09:57,908 --> 02:10:01,428 So I'm curious to see if something like that would be possible for PlayNight. 2966 02:10:02,663 --> 02:10:02,883 Mm hmm. 2967 02:10:03,303 --> 02:10:05,883 Oh, it, it could, it really depends. 2968 02:10:05,883 --> 02:10:10,833 Like I've built stuff that, uh, is kinda like this and he just, he's 2969 02:10:10,833 --> 02:10:13,383 gonna have three architect, like, he, he, he, he can't use t net for 2970 02:10:13,383 --> 02:10:15,093 that . He needs to get away from that. 2971 02:10:15,093 --> 02:10:19,443 There's too many, there's too many, um, weird, uh, package dependencies on that 2972 02:10:19,488 --> 02:10:22,408 think that's what PlayNight 11 is going to be. 2973 02:10:22,408 --> 02:10:26,278 They're refactoring it in a different, uh, library. 2974 02:10:26,278 --> 02:10:27,748 I don't know what it is, Gardener. 2975 02:10:27,768 --> 02:10:29,898 I think you know what the name of the library is. 2976 02:10:30,578 --> 02:10:35,678 I believe it's called Avalonia or something like that, um, and I've, I had 2977 02:10:35,678 --> 02:10:40,458 never heard of it, but, um, I guess that's the UI, uh, library that they're using and 2978 02:10:40,458 --> 02:10:45,758 the new version of that has a Linux build, my, if I'm remembering correctly, I, 2979 02:10:46,268 --> 02:10:46,788 And so 2980 02:10:46,978 --> 02:10:48,988 the plan is that they release PlayNight 2981 02:10:49,048 --> 02:10:55,288 11 on Windows and then eventually bring it over to Linux after they, you know, 2982 02:10:55,288 --> 02:10:57,578 work on the bugs with the Windows version. 2983 02:10:58,923 --> 02:11:03,093 course, there are a bunch of launchers, yes, I will admit. 2984 02:11:04,158 --> 02:11:04,568 Mm 2985 02:11:04,683 --> 02:11:07,313 But, more couldn't hurt, right? 2986 02:11:07,313 --> 02:11:09,563 Especially if you want to make a Linux system that isn't 2987 02:11:09,583 --> 02:11:12,093 entirely dependent on Steam. 2988 02:11:13,338 --> 02:11:13,678 Yeah. 2989 02:11:14,468 --> 02:11:17,648 One thing I will say is there's a lot of launchers, that is true, but 2990 02:11:17,648 --> 02:11:20,238 many of them are written in HTML. 2991 02:11:21,338 --> 02:11:27,708 Like, I mean, uh, uh, even, even big picture mode is, is like an electron 2992 02:11:27,718 --> 02:11:31,288 app, you know, like, so most of these, 2993 02:11:32,458 --> 02:11:35,638 All Esteem is written in like HT Miller, PHP, and React. 2994 02:11:35,638 --> 02:11:36,328 Like That's 2995 02:11:37,603 --> 02:11:37,973 Yeah. 2996 02:11:38,403 --> 02:11:41,763 So, what, there's a lot of people, I'm not one of them. 2997 02:11:41,763 --> 02:11:46,153 I actually like, uh, I actually really like HTML and CSS for, for web 2998 02:11:46,153 --> 02:11:50,383 design, um, or for, for user interface design, because it's very flexible. 2999 02:11:50,653 --> 02:11:52,443 But there's a lot of people who complain about that. 3000 02:11:52,843 --> 02:11:57,453 And so something like, I mean, and to be fair, electron apps can take 3001 02:11:57,463 --> 02:12:00,223 up a lot of, of system resources. 3002 02:12:00,603 --> 02:12:07,528 Um, but, uh, something a little more native to your system, Might 3003 02:12:07,528 --> 02:12:10,328 be something that a lot, that a lot of folks might want, and so 3004 02:12:10,758 --> 02:12:12,558 I can see that being a positive. 3005 02:12:13,268 --> 02:12:17,968 I mean, even, even, um, even Heroic is, is a, is an Electron app, 3006 02:12:18,258 --> 02:12:19,398 It's a, it's an Electron app. 3007 02:12:19,403 --> 02:12:20,473 I think it is an Electron app. 3008 02:12:20,473 --> 02:12:25,463 I think Valve isn't technically Electron, but it, like, is based on Chromium still. 3009 02:12:26,298 --> 02:12:27,278 Yes, right. 3010 02:12:28,838 --> 02:12:29,108 yeah. 3011 02:12:29,108 --> 02:12:32,198 It's, it's got its own system, but, uh, yeah. 3012 02:12:32,213 --> 02:12:33,173 So I will say, 3013 02:12:33,248 --> 02:12:35,108 all 100% electron. 3014 02:12:35,108 --> 02:12:36,578 I know I've dug through the source code. 3015 02:12:36,763 --> 02:12:36,873 I 3016 02:12:36,873 --> 02:12:39,823 will say, It's better than what Epic is doing with their fucking 3017 02:12:39,823 --> 02:12:40,243 story. 3018 02:12:40,263 --> 02:12:43,083 What they're doing, they're running a web browser in UE4. 3019 02:12:44,793 --> 02:12:45,973 That's what the Epic Games Store is. 3020 02:12:46,003 --> 02:12:46,563 It's running the 3021 02:12:46,883 --> 02:12:47,733 Unreal Engine. 3022 02:12:49,178 --> 02:12:50,268 Oh my god. 3023 02:12:51,188 --> 02:12:52,518 That's so funny, dude. 3024 02:12:52,673 --> 02:12:57,183 know why they're using Unreal on the 3025 02:12:57,493 --> 02:12:58,733 it must be because they own it. 3026 02:12:58,773 --> 02:13:01,043 I mean, what else, what else could it be? 3027 02:13:01,928 --> 02:13:03,318 Yeah, dog food, you know. 3028 02:13:04,113 --> 02:13:04,283 God 3029 02:13:04,533 --> 02:13:06,743 there's so many different ways they could have done it better, 3030 02:13:07,083 --> 02:13:07,463 yeah. 3031 02:13:07,463 --> 02:13:08,333 and so, 3032 02:13:08,583 --> 02:13:09,863 Do they even have a cart yet? 3033 02:13:09,893 --> 02:13:10,363 A shopping 3034 02:13:10,503 --> 02:13:11,083 they do. 3035 02:13:11,153 --> 02:13:12,333 you can buy multiple games at once. 3036 02:13:12,353 --> 02:13:13,003 Oh, wow! 3037 02:13:13,013 --> 02:13:13,733 They finally got 3038 02:13:13,983 --> 02:13:16,913 Yeah, you can, you can get your you can claim your two free 3039 02:13:16,913 --> 02:13:18,633 Epic Games at the same time now. 3040 02:13:18,993 --> 02:13:21,743 Add one to the cart, and add the other one to the cart, and just buy it. 3041 02:13:21,743 --> 02:13:23,103 Thanks. 3042 02:13:25,463 --> 02:13:30,713 They, removed the, uh, so they used to have like, uh, uh, four or five free 3043 02:13:30,713 --> 02:13:36,623 assets every month on the, for the game developer side of Epic Game Launcher. 3044 02:13:37,153 --> 02:13:40,683 And then they moved it to, um, Oh, what is it called? 3045 02:13:40,913 --> 02:13:42,213 Like a new service. 3046 02:13:42,323 --> 02:13:46,413 And it's just been a cluster F like they've been like, everyone hates it. 3047 02:13:49,793 --> 02:13:52,223 Epic's a little bit on my shit, shit list right now for that. 3048 02:13:52,533 --> 02:13:53,383 I agree. 3049 02:13:53,503 --> 02:13:56,083 Epics ch Epics on pretty much everyone's shit list. 3050 02:13:56,083 --> 02:13:57,003 Except for 3051 02:13:57,143 --> 02:14:00,563 But it gives free stuff, like, it's, it's, I still like it. 3052 02:14:01,733 --> 02:14:04,463 Like, they're the only company, like, they're the only other launcher I 3053 02:14:04,463 --> 02:14:06,593 would say, like, that's worth getting. 3054 02:14:06,623 --> 02:14:07,253 But, 3055 02:14:07,483 --> 02:14:08,333 There's G yeah. 3056 02:14:08,333 --> 02:14:10,303 GOG, Epic, Steam. 3057 02:14:10,313 --> 02:14:11,923 Those are the big three, to be honest. 3058 02:14:12,483 --> 02:14:14,943 There's nothing else, basically, out there. 3059 02:14:16,328 --> 02:14:17,268 And I think 3060 02:14:17,278 --> 02:14:22,818 we can all attest and agree that Steam is probably the best one, followed 3061 02:14:22,828 --> 02:14:24,558 by GOG and then Epic. 3062 02:14:26,163 --> 02:14:28,113 I have never used the GOG one. 3063 02:14:28,408 --> 02:14:28,918 Um, I 3064 02:14:28,918 --> 02:14:29,358 never use a 3065 02:14:29,583 --> 02:14:31,163 I've never used a GOG launcher 3066 02:14:31,278 --> 02:14:34,258 But the cool thing is you can just download the game from GOG's website 3067 02:14:34,288 --> 02:14:36,028 directly if you want it that way. 3068 02:14:36,343 --> 02:14:37,219 Mm. 3069 02:14:37,403 --> 02:14:38,833 but that doesn't make it better. 3070 02:14:39,453 --> 02:14:41,783 I want a, a good interface, but yeah, like, 3071 02:14:41,798 --> 02:14:44,778 the main reason why GOG is second is because it's DRM free. 3072 02:14:45,953 --> 02:14:48,953 yeah, mean, I do like that. 3073 02:14:49,148 --> 02:14:53,788 Alright, and finally, the last topic of the day is a warning. 3074 02:14:54,198 --> 02:15:00,643 So, as you know, Elden Ring, Night Reign, Is in, is a closed beta right now. 3075 02:15:00,713 --> 02:15:01,753 People aren't playing it online. 3076 02:15:01,773 --> 02:15:02,983 It looks kind of insane. 3077 02:15:03,633 --> 02:15:05,913 You can like jump super high and shit too. 3078 02:15:07,253 --> 02:15:07,703 I don't know. 3079 02:15:08,133 --> 02:15:12,023 It's a weird mishmash of roguelikes and Battle Royale and Dark Souls. 3080 02:15:12,483 --> 02:15:14,053 I wouldn't have ever seen it coming. 3081 02:15:14,073 --> 02:15:16,883 But the topic isn't about Elden Ring. 3082 02:15:17,533 --> 02:15:18,453 Or even the game itself. 3083 02:15:18,453 --> 02:15:20,083 It's about a scam that's going out. 3084 02:15:21,093 --> 02:15:25,083 So, I recently got a DM from someone on my Steam friends list. 3085 02:15:25,143 --> 02:15:27,543 Inviting me to an Elden Ring playtest. 3086 02:15:29,273 --> 02:15:31,353 But, as you can see in the picture here. 3087 02:15:32,238 --> 02:15:33,568 It's a fake URL. 3088 02:15:36,693 --> 02:15:43,523 Oh yeah, that's, I mean, when in doubt, always look at the URL to be fair. 3089 02:15:43,553 --> 02:15:47,443 Like you, Oh, if it looks even a little off, verify it before you ever, 3090 02:15:47,658 --> 02:15:51,548 Yeah, unfortunately, this friend of mine fell for it, unfortunately. 3091 02:15:51,788 --> 02:15:53,388 Shame, shame, shame, shame. 3092 02:15:55,933 --> 02:15:56,813 that's unfortunate. 3093 02:15:56,843 --> 02:16:00,193 Well, I mean, it's an easy one to like, I think valve is going to 3094 02:16:00,203 --> 02:16:03,103 have to do some, uh, URL checking. 3095 02:16:04,218 --> 02:16:08,488 I mean, I mean, not much, not much, there's not much you can do. 3096 02:16:08,528 --> 02:16:10,378 I mean, it tells you, 3097 02:16:10,388 --> 02:16:16,978 Why you can, you can blacklist, uh, URLs, it's very specific or whitelist if you 3098 02:16:16,978 --> 02:16:21,748 want, like there's ways to do this, like in a very easy way to add to settings, 3099 02:16:21,768 --> 02:16:24,288 in my opinion, but yeah, that's just me. 3100 02:16:25,568 --> 02:16:29,908 I, cause if they, if they could give me like the option of like getting links 3101 02:16:29,908 --> 02:16:33,638 sent to me in, uh, my DMS of steam, like. 3102 02:16:35,523 --> 02:16:37,883 Prevent it or at least make it very limited to a whitelist 3103 02:16:37,883 --> 02:16:38,733 that they have approved. 3104 02:16:38,993 --> 02:16:40,133 I'd be down for that. 3105 02:16:40,853 --> 02:16:42,413 I'd actually enable that right away. 3106 02:16:42,443 --> 02:16:46,043 Cause I don't pass I don't know how much you guys pass links. 3107 02:16:46,093 --> 02:16:48,383 I don't pass links very much in Steam. 3108 02:16:48,778 --> 02:16:49,448 I don't either. 3109 02:16:49,998 --> 02:16:50,668 I mean, it's good that 3110 02:16:50,698 --> 02:16:54,018 it's good that like, if you look at how it was listed, like, it was shown 3111 02:16:54,018 --> 02:16:56,698 in there, you can see steamcommunity. 3112 02:16:56,698 --> 02:16:58,268 app8941922. 3113 02:16:58,418 --> 02:17:01,918 com It's good that Valve does this so that you don't actually click on the link. 3114 02:17:02,088 --> 02:17:03,338 That looks super official. 3115 02:17:04,533 --> 02:17:06,383 It still looks like it could be a promo. 3116 02:17:06,468 --> 02:17:07,428 Yeah, it does. 3117 02:17:07,558 --> 02:17:08,158 It does. 3118 02:17:08,178 --> 02:17:10,518 I don't know how I don't know, 3119 02:17:10,763 --> 02:17:18,928 think I think that link previews like this are, are irresponsible user design. 3120 02:17:18,958 --> 02:17:24,908 I mean, the way that, the way that Valve presents the, uh, the, the URL 3121 02:17:24,918 --> 02:17:29,038 here is better than a lot of other ones, but still, like, I just find 3122 02:17:29,038 --> 02:17:31,958 link previews to be offensive to me. 3123 02:17:31,958 --> 02:17:36,778 I turn them off whenever I have the option, because They, I just, they're, 3124 02:17:36,778 --> 02:17:40,588 they're a dark pattern in my opinion, and I just, they're, yeah, they're, 3125 02:17:41,178 --> 02:17:45,708 like, what's the point of, uh, of this, it's, it hides, in most cases it hides 3126 02:17:45,708 --> 02:17:51,548 the actual destination of where you're going, and it, and it's, and most of the 3127 02:17:51,558 --> 02:17:57,298 time the content that gets scraped to be included in this can be manipulated by 3128 02:17:57,328 --> 02:18:00,768 the, uh, by the website owner, and so it's 3129 02:18:00,768 --> 02:18:03,018 Oh, it's easy. 3130 02:18:03,018 --> 02:18:06,188 It's really easy to change the metadata for this. 3131 02:18:06,188 --> 02:18:11,208 But, I think I like the preview stuff, because it gives me a preview of whether 3132 02:18:11,208 --> 02:18:12,288 or not I want to click it or what not. 3133 02:18:13,228 --> 02:18:14,299 I do think it needs to be improved. 3134 02:18:14,299 --> 02:18:19,078 I think there needs to be a new system to, um, maybe even a new standard to 3135 02:18:19,078 --> 02:18:21,358 say, Hey, you got to filter this stuff. 3136 02:18:21,358 --> 02:18:29,168 And, or, uh, give really, like, a Because like the steam, they could easily have 3137 02:18:29,168 --> 02:18:32,648 an approved list if it's not on there because Val like gmail does it if it's 3138 02:18:32,648 --> 02:18:36,498 a sketchy like a lot of services do this if it's a sketchy enough link 3139 02:18:36,528 --> 02:18:41,428 it will warn you they could do that they could put it in a highlighted red 3140 02:18:41,428 --> 02:18:43,508 like this is not an approved domain 3141 02:18:43,878 --> 02:18:44,238 hmm, 3142 02:18:44,418 --> 02:18:46,798 there's a lot of services that even if you click something and 3143 02:18:46,798 --> 02:18:50,198 say are you sure you're about to leave this service are you sure you 3144 02:18:50,198 --> 02:18:52,398 want to click on this it's outside 3145 02:18:53,443 --> 02:18:57,803 And also, they could just have a whitelist of domains that are allowed 3146 02:18:57,813 --> 02:18:59,233 to have link previews, and then the 3147 02:18:59,503 --> 02:19:00,783 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 3148 02:19:00,933 --> 02:19:01,433 Exactly. 3149 02:19:01,433 --> 02:19:02,763 That's what, actually, I agree with that. 3150 02:19:03,018 --> 02:19:03,838 I agree with that too. 3151 02:19:03,868 --> 02:19:09,258 So, the moral of the story here is, for all you listening, don't 3152 02:19:09,258 --> 02:19:10,428 click on links you won't trust. 3153 02:19:10,958 --> 02:19:12,938 If it's too good to be true, it probably is. 3154 02:19:13,008 --> 02:19:15,848 Like, yeah, 3155 02:19:18,143 --> 02:19:19,363 people get hacked just like this. 3156 02:19:19,643 --> 02:19:25,793 Do not click on any link, especially if it's, is too good to be true or very 3157 02:19:25,793 --> 02:19:28,353 like different, always verify the URL. 3158 02:19:28,503 --> 02:19:31,283 And a lot of times you can just hover over it to verify the URL. 3159 02:19:32,578 --> 02:19:37,988 So I will say the friend got her account back. 3160 02:19:38,608 --> 02:19:39,108 So it's good 3161 02:19:39,253 --> 02:19:39,553 Mm. 3162 02:19:40,458 --> 02:19:43,838 So it's not so it's not the end. 3163 02:19:43,838 --> 02:19:46,778 I'll be all but hey steam has generally been pretty good 3164 02:19:46,778 --> 02:19:47,678 about getting your account back. 3165 02:19:47,738 --> 02:19:50,168 I think it's hacked in my experience. 3166 02:19:51,423 --> 02:19:51,813 Yeah. 3167 02:19:52,713 --> 02:19:53,583 Mm hmm. 3168 02:19:53,863 --> 02:19:59,148 Steam is very good at this type of stuff, but still, um, A lot of 3169 02:19:59,158 --> 02:20:01,918 bad stuff could potentially happen with getting in a hacked account, 3170 02:20:01,928 --> 02:20:05,068 especially if they're not doing verifications on your purchase and stuff. 3171 02:20:05,068 --> 02:20:11,365 Sometimes they, I think they usually do, but it's not, but 3172 02:20:11,623 --> 02:20:12,353 I don't know, man. 3173 02:20:12,433 --> 02:20:17,043 Scams are getting a lot more sophisticated these days, and I'm worried, too, because 3174 02:20:17,043 --> 02:20:21,043 eventually we're all gonna get old and senile and we're gonna click on the 3175 02:20:21,043 --> 02:20:24,873 fucking link that grabs everything from us 3176 02:20:25,443

worked in it and I mean, I mean, I'm, and 3179 02:20:35,883 --> 02:20:40,013 sometimes he like is sketched out about certain links that he gets too. 3180 02:20:40,073 --> 02:20:40,673 I understand that. 3181 02:20:40,673 --> 02:20:44,123 But it's, it's not, it's not as obvious as it used to be. 3182 02:20:45,603 --> 02:20:47,578 Mm.
