00:00:00,250 --> 00:00:01,666
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to
2
00:00:01,666 --> 00:00:03,416
another episode of Off the Console.
3
00:00:03,916 --> 00:00:05,416
My name is Gardiner and I'm here with my
4
00:00:05,416 --> 00:00:07,083
friend James, aka The Brink.
5
00:00:07,416 --> 00:00:08,291
How's it going, James?
6
00:00:08,791 --> 00:00:10,583
It is going good this morning.
7
00:00:11,041 --> 00:00:12,875
Usually it's a three-man crew here on the
8
00:00:12,875 --> 00:00:15,583
show, but Hi-Tech is off this week.
9
00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:17,458
Hi-Tech, we can't wait to
10
00:00:17,458 --> 00:00:18,416
see you next week, my friend.
11
00:00:18,750 --> 00:00:20,458
We're gonna be covering a bunch of stuff
12
00:00:20,458 --> 00:00:21,083
on this show. If you
13
00:00:21,083 --> 00:00:23,500
don't know Off the Console,
14
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:27,208
this is our gaming and tech news and
15
00:00:27,208 --> 00:00:28,166
anything nerdy show,
16
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:30,500
where we just kind of hang out and talk
17
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,416
about the things that are interesting to
18
00:00:32,416 --> 00:00:33,833
us over the last week.
19
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:36,166
This week, we've... yeah, do
20
00:00:36,166 --> 00:00:37,250
we have some interesting stuff?
21
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:39,250
We've got... we're gonna talk about all
22
00:00:39,250 --> 00:00:41,666
the things that Nintendo mentioned in
23
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:44,000
their Nintendo Direct this week.
24
00:00:44,291 --> 00:00:45,625
Maybe not all the things, but the stuff
25
00:00:45,625 --> 00:00:46,833
that's most interesting to us.
26
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:49,416
We're gonna talk about how game def...
27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,291
I have slowly converted my channel over
28
00:01:18,291 --> 00:01:22,583
to a Mac only channel. No, I I
29
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:24,416
Am I'm working on on April
30
00:01:24,416 --> 00:01:26,083
Fool. I love April Fool's videos
31
00:01:26,125 --> 00:01:29,000
I'm gonna do one of those and so but I've
32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,291
also been obsessing over the Mac
33
00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:31,958
for stupid reasons
34
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:34,750
because you know reason but I
35
00:01:35,583 --> 00:01:36,958
I just want to simplify my life and so
36
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:38,458
I've been obsessing over that and also
37
00:01:38,458 --> 00:01:40,250
like smaller form factor
38
00:01:41,208 --> 00:01:41,541
Um
39
00:01:42,125 --> 00:01:43,208
PCs just
40
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:46,583
My room over heats with my 3090 and so I
41
00:01:46,583 --> 00:01:47,500
just want something that's
42
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,625
not gonna overheat this room
43
00:01:49,041 --> 00:01:50,250
So I'm looking at like
44
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:52,583
a my they say 40 90 m
45
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:55,916
3090 whatever. Mm-hmm, but there's a 40 I
46
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:58,708
I watched a video on the 40 90
47
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:00,208
eGPU
48
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:02,916
So it's like a mobile chip in it
49
00:02:02,916 --> 00:02:05,708
I'm curious how well that runs like our
50
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:07,583
heat wise and so that
51
00:02:07,583 --> 00:02:09,333
I'm have my eye on that
52
00:02:09,916 --> 00:02:12,833
To then maybe build out
53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,333
I don't know build out my
54
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:18,083
gaming system. I'm having fun. I
55
00:02:18,583 --> 00:02:19,708
still playing
56
00:02:20,125 --> 00:02:22,125
I'm not playing Astro bot right now
57
00:02:22,125 --> 00:02:23,166
But
58
00:02:24,625 --> 00:02:26,458
It takes two with my son still playing
59
00:02:26,458 --> 00:02:28,041
that we're slowly getting
60
00:02:28,041 --> 00:02:29,041
through that. That's really fun
61
00:02:29,041 --> 00:02:31,916
I played it on bad side and I have to
62
00:02:31,916 --> 00:02:33,375
switch over to back over to
63
00:02:33,375 --> 00:02:34,625
Windows to play it because it
64
00:02:34,916 --> 00:02:36,583
crashes at the same spot
65
00:02:37,541 --> 00:02:40,166
Mm-hmm, and I think it's I don't think
66
00:02:40,166 --> 00:02:41,541
it's bad as its fault per se. I think
67
00:02:41,541 --> 00:02:43,875
it's in videos graphics drivers
68
00:02:43,916 --> 00:02:46,416
Oh my god, don't get me started on any
69
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:47,666
videos graphics drivers
70
00:02:47,666 --> 00:02:51,166
Yeah, I'm gonna have to
71
00:02:51,166 --> 00:02:52,166
switch back over to Windows
72
00:02:52,666 --> 00:02:55,208
Yeah, I think I'd have a better time
73
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:57,416
emulating this game. Honestly, I actually
74
00:02:57,416 --> 00:02:59,750
would play fine if I if I had like
75
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:01,416
my MacBook
76
00:03:02,083 --> 00:03:04,416
With a cross fire or something like that,
77
00:03:04,416 --> 00:03:06,541
but we can that's a whole other
78
00:03:07,291 --> 00:03:07,750
can of worms
79
00:03:08,791 --> 00:03:10,500
That's what I've been doing nice
80
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,500
Nice, I've been doing doing a lot of
81
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:15,958
work. I've been getting ready for a big
82
00:03:15,958 --> 00:03:17,041
project with my client
83
00:03:18,208 --> 00:03:21,250
But I also have been playing
84
00:03:22,291 --> 00:03:22,750
a
85
00:03:23,625 --> 00:03:26,458
Classic an absolute classic. I don't know
86
00:03:26,458 --> 00:03:27,708
if you know this about me James, but I
87
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:30,250
really love racing games
88
00:03:30,458 --> 00:03:32,083
Which I find interesting because I don't
89
00:03:32,083 --> 00:03:34,416
really like cars, but I love racing games
90
00:03:34,416 --> 00:03:36,041
and I've been playing
91
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:39,875
I'm need for speed 3 hot pursuit
92
00:03:41,375 --> 00:03:43,625
Which I have a big box version out in
93
00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:44,958
there out in my game
94
00:03:46,083 --> 00:03:47,333
shelf and
95
00:03:47,666 --> 00:03:49,916
Oh my god, it is so much
96
00:03:49,916 --> 00:03:52,333
fun. I'm playing through proton
97
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,416
And and it is sick. Yeah, it's so good
98
00:03:58,791 --> 00:04:00,666
Didn't they remake it or is this
99
00:04:00,666 --> 00:04:01,291
something else? I'm
100
00:04:01,291 --> 00:04:02,958
thinking of I don't know
101
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,500
Uh, maybe they did is this the older one
102
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:07,875
like in that what wanted
103
00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:10,250
to come out? Oh my gosh
104
00:04:11,708 --> 00:04:13,750
2000s need for speed
105
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:16,583
3 I'm thinking like 98
106
00:04:17,416 --> 00:04:19,375
Okay, it's that one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I
107
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:21,333
never play that one a lot. Oh man. I
108
00:04:21,333 --> 00:04:24,250
played so much of it
109
00:04:25,083 --> 00:04:27,666
So much and and like and
110
00:04:27,666 --> 00:04:29,416
the music is so nostalgic
111
00:04:30,208 --> 00:04:31,916
the gameplay is
112
00:04:32,708 --> 00:04:35,083
It has an aged super great, but there's
113
00:04:35,083 --> 00:04:36,041
still like this like
114
00:04:36,041 --> 00:04:38,083
dedicated community around it
115
00:04:38,083 --> 00:04:40,250
And and I just enjoy it. It makes me it
116
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:41,416
takes me right back to being a kid
117
00:04:42,416 --> 00:04:44,125
I'm gonna have to pick that back up
118
00:04:44,125 --> 00:04:46,208
because I played it a ton as a kid
119
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:48,916
There's a there's a community patch that
120
00:04:48,916 --> 00:04:50,166
you can get through Lutris
121
00:04:50,916 --> 00:04:53,083
And it works really well and it makes
122
00:04:53,083 --> 00:04:54,833
everything you can like run the game in
123
00:04:54,833 --> 00:04:57,458
widescreen. I'm running it natively at 4k
124
00:04:58,166 --> 00:05:00,041
I'm gonna try it on my steam deck and
125
00:05:00,041 --> 00:05:01,250
probably I'll make a video about it, too
126
00:05:02,791 --> 00:05:04,875
It's a lot of fun. That is that is fun. I
127
00:05:04,875 --> 00:05:06,083
really like the need for speeds
128
00:05:06,083 --> 00:05:09,083
I like arcade racers a lot more than
129
00:05:09,083 --> 00:05:11,250
realistic ones. That's me, too
130
00:05:11,875 --> 00:05:12,625
Yeah, they
131
00:05:13,541 --> 00:05:15,666
Burnout the entire burnout franchise.
132
00:05:15,666 --> 00:05:17,791
Love it burnout paradise, but
133
00:05:17,791 --> 00:05:19,375
specifically is great
134
00:05:19,375 --> 00:05:23,166
It's so good and I'm so like I am shocked
135
00:05:23,166 --> 00:05:24,000
that as a franchise
136
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,291
that did not continue on
137
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:27,250
Yeah, tell me about it
138
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:29,333
because they you know
139
00:05:30,208 --> 00:05:33,416
They didn't didn't it didn't do well
140
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:35,125
enough and so didn't they put them on
141
00:05:35,125 --> 00:05:36,000
like a different project or
142
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:36,791
something like that the devs
143
00:05:36,791 --> 00:05:38,916
I can't write here. I think so. Yeah.
144
00:05:38,916 --> 00:05:41,125
Yeah, I think that's what happened. But
145
00:05:41,125 --> 00:05:44,625
burnout series is amazing. It's I like it
146
00:05:45,541 --> 00:05:46,916
Weirdly enough. I like it a little more
147
00:05:46,916 --> 00:05:47,500
than need for speed
148
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:49,625
because you have all the crash
149
00:05:50,916 --> 00:05:51,791
Physics and everything
150
00:05:51,791 --> 00:05:54,041
like that's really fun. Mm-hmm
151
00:05:54,041 --> 00:05:56,291
I think the newer need for speeds have
152
00:05:56,291 --> 00:05:57,625
that too for the most part,
153
00:05:57,625 --> 00:05:58,750
but it's not quite the same way
154
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:03,041
Yeah, I honestly I think need for speed 3
155
00:06:03,041 --> 00:06:05,041
the one that I've been playing is the
156
00:06:05,041 --> 00:06:06,750
only need for speed game I've ever played
157
00:06:07,916 --> 00:06:12,208
Really? Yeah. Yeah, I really like I to be
158
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:13,416
honest when I was growing up
159
00:06:13,583 --> 00:06:16,166
My cousin had like a really nice PC
160
00:06:16,166 --> 00:06:18,416
gaming setup his dad did and
161
00:06:18,416 --> 00:06:21,083
so I played whatever he had so
162
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:22,958
Unreal tournament I
163
00:06:22,958 --> 00:06:24,125
played at his house. I played
164
00:06:24,166 --> 00:06:28,375
Duke Nukem command and conquer these kind
165
00:06:28,375 --> 00:06:31,000
of games over there need for speed 3 that
166
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,666
was the only one I ever got access to
167
00:06:33,083 --> 00:06:33,416
but
168
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:36,291
And then and then like I never was
169
00:06:36,291 --> 00:06:36,916
interested in the
170
00:06:36,916 --> 00:06:39,750
console stuff. So I don't know
171
00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:42,708
For example, like the other kind of
172
00:06:42,708 --> 00:06:44,791
racing games cart racers, obviously, you
173
00:06:44,791 --> 00:06:45,375
know, you got to have
174
00:06:45,375 --> 00:06:46,666
like Mario Kart in there
175
00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:47,375
You got to have crash
176
00:06:47,375 --> 00:06:48,250
team racing in there
177
00:06:49,625 --> 00:06:51,333
So those were the kind of games that I
178
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:53,958
played like on my own time like when I
179
00:06:53,958 --> 00:06:55,833
wasn't visiting my cousin so
180
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:58,750
Need for speed most wanted like I think
181
00:06:58,750 --> 00:06:59,333
it's kind of like a
182
00:06:59,333 --> 00:07:00,541
remake off of need for speed
183
00:07:01,125 --> 00:07:02,541
3 or just like the
184
00:07:02,541 --> 00:07:03,500
need for speed most wanted
185
00:07:04,208 --> 00:07:06,083
Yeah, that probably it's
186
00:07:06,083 --> 00:07:08,291
I think pretty fun. He had
187
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:10,833
Cops in it if I remember correctly cuz I
188
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:12,041
remember getting yes over when I was a
189
00:07:12,041 --> 00:07:14,708
kid and I think most wanted was was also
190
00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:15,916
like cop based
191
00:07:17,875 --> 00:07:19,833
Yes, yeah, yes
192
00:07:20,291 --> 00:07:22,791
Like some of them are really fun. Some of
193
00:07:22,791 --> 00:07:23,750
the need for speeds are just in
194
00:07:24,625 --> 00:07:27,125

00:07:58,875 --> 00:08:00,750

220
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:18,875
With that out of the way,
221
00:08:18,875 --> 00:08:20,583
let's get into the first topic
222
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:22,583
Nintendo Direct
223
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,333
March 27th, Nintendo Direct
224
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,458
So I know we were talking off the show
225
00:08:30,458 --> 00:08:32,541
about neither of us are
226
00:08:32,541 --> 00:08:34,041
super into a lot of these games
227
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:37,125
But like did anything stick out to you?
228
00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:38,916
A
229
00:08:39,166 --> 00:08:42,875
Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD remake maybe I do
230
00:08:42,875 --> 00:08:44,000
like Dragon Quest games
231
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,958
I just haven't played him in a long time
232
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:49,666
and yeah, I I don't tend to play those
233
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:51,083
types of games as much these days
234
00:08:51,083 --> 00:08:52,250
Unless it's a it has
235
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:53,916
to be like a really big
236
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:58,208
Really like has to be a
237
00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:00,875
Premium release of like an RPG or
238
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:02,666
something like that because I just don't
239
00:09:02,666 --> 00:09:03,875
have the time and I'd
240
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:04,666
rather put my time into like
241
00:09:04,708 --> 00:09:06,708
Horror horror games and stuff like Silent
242
00:09:06,708 --> 00:09:08,500
Hill 2 remake. I just got it. I'm gonna
243
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:10,500
be playing that soon. I
244
00:09:10,916 --> 00:09:13,833
Like a little bit shorter games or very
245
00:09:13,833 --> 00:09:14,875
specific types of games
246
00:09:14,875 --> 00:09:15,958
And so even though I
247
00:09:15,958 --> 00:09:17,875
like all sorts of games
248
00:09:17,875 --> 00:09:19,750
I have to limit my my list down and
249
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:20,250
that's the only
250
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:21,333
problem with Nintendo Direct
251
00:09:21,333 --> 00:09:23,291
Is that a lot of these games are just not
252
00:09:23,291 --> 00:09:25,041
games. I'm as interested in
253
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,041
Albeit, I'd love to play some of them. I
254
00:09:27,041 --> 00:09:28,500
just don't have the time. But yeah,
255
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:29,125
that's definitely one
256
00:09:29,125 --> 00:09:30,041
that popped out to me
257
00:09:30,416 --> 00:09:32,666
Yeah, I like how this looks.
258
00:09:32,666 --> 00:09:34,125
Yeah, it looks kind of cool
259
00:09:34,166 --> 00:09:36,791
It the the name of it the the actual full
260
00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:37,958
name is Dragon Quest
261
00:09:37,958 --> 00:09:40,500
1 plus 2 HD 2d remake
262
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,375
Is that right? Am I reading that
263
00:09:42,375 --> 00:09:43,291
correctly? I think
264
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,833
which I think is hilarious
265
00:09:45,833 --> 00:09:47,958
But it's it's kind of got some cool
266
00:09:47,958 --> 00:09:49,625
It's got a nice aesthetic like the
267
00:09:49,625 --> 00:09:52,125
sprites are 2d and it's almost like Paper
268
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:54,458
Mario sprites in a 3d world, right?
269
00:09:54,916 --> 00:09:55,500
which I think
270
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:59,125
Looks pretty neat. I haven't I don't
271
00:09:59,125 --> 00:09:59,916
think I've ever played a
272
00:09:59,916 --> 00:10:01,416
Dragon Quest game, honestly
273
00:10:02,541 --> 00:10:05,416
But I do think this looks pretty cool
274
00:10:05,958 --> 00:10:07,333
I'm gonna I'm gonna scroll past a lot of
275
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:08,875
these titles here and
276
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:10,166
I know that people are gonna
277
00:10:10,166 --> 00:10:11,333
shout at me in the comments
278
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:13,916
But like the only the only ones that
279
00:10:13,916 --> 00:10:15,083
really stuck out to me
280
00:10:15,083 --> 00:10:17,083
pat upon one and two replay
281
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:19,416
Do you know why this is
282
00:10:19,416 --> 00:10:21,583
super freaking interesting?
283
00:10:22,083 --> 00:10:24,041
James, I don't know
284
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:26,416
This is a Sony game
285
00:10:29,625 --> 00:10:30,416
This is Sony
286
00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:33,708
So Sony's going around a Microsoft
287
00:10:33,708 --> 00:10:35,208
everything's a PlayStation
288
00:10:36,541 --> 00:10:39,666
Yeah, I guess I mean the thing is like I
289
00:10:39,666 --> 00:10:41,666
believe they partnered with Namco Bandai
290
00:10:41,666 --> 00:10:44,083
on this and they they licensed
291
00:10:45,375 --> 00:10:48,208
Pat upon which was a PSP exclusive
292
00:10:48,958 --> 00:10:50,583
and
293
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:53,791
Yeah, yeah, and they licensed this here
294
00:10:53,791 --> 00:10:55,333
and now it's coming to switch
295
00:10:55,333 --> 00:10:57,750
which hey, that's kind of neat
296
00:10:57,791 --> 00:11:00,791
I I play I would buy this on PC Pat upon
297
00:11:00,791 --> 00:11:02,291
was a super fun rhythm game
298
00:11:02,291 --> 00:11:04,125
that I played all the time on my
299
00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:06,458
My PlayStation my PSP
300
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:09,833
This bad boy right here. In fact, I love
301
00:11:09,833 --> 00:11:12,458
I love the PSP play all the time
302
00:11:12,458 --> 00:11:15,750
And I think that's pretty cool so
303
00:11:16,291 --> 00:11:19,750
Maybe maybe Sony's trying to like get in
304
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:22,583
there and because honestly the like the
305
00:11:22,583 --> 00:11:23,916
switch is not really a
306
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:24,916
competitor to the PlayStation
307
00:11:25,416 --> 00:11:27,208
right like they're
308
00:11:27,583 --> 00:11:30,375
Most people who have Playstations have
309
00:11:30,375 --> 00:11:34,875
switches. I would imagine anyway, I
310
00:11:34,875 --> 00:11:37,083
Buy stuff like for me. I buy stuff based
311
00:11:37,083 --> 00:11:38,125
on what games they have
312
00:11:38,125 --> 00:11:40,041
So now PlayStation I have all the
313
00:11:40,041 --> 00:11:41,625
playstations for the most part because
314
00:11:41,625 --> 00:11:44,250
they have series that I really like
315
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:48,000
Same thing with Nintendo devices. Yep
316
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:51,458
Yeah, and if I if I get a switch I'm
317
00:11:51,458 --> 00:11:52,625
gonna get mine second-hand
318
00:11:52,625 --> 00:11:53,875
because then I'm not gonna be
319
00:11:54,666 --> 00:11:55,541
supporting Nintendo
320
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,791
But yeah, I don't know. I I think this is
321
00:11:59,791 --> 00:12:03,083
pretty neat. The other thing is
322
00:12:03,416 --> 00:12:04,791
Metroid Prime 4 Beyond
323
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:07,708
I'm a huge Metroid fan
324
00:12:08,250 --> 00:12:10,625
I've been playing Metroid games for as
325
00:12:10,625 --> 00:12:12,916
long as I can remember in fact and
326
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:15,875
Metroid Prime 4 Beyond looks pretty neat
327
00:12:16,666 --> 00:12:17,500
and
328
00:12:18,083 --> 00:12:20,125
I'm not really a story guy when it comes
329
00:12:20,125 --> 00:12:20,916
to video games. I don't
330
00:12:20,916 --> 00:12:22,666
really care that much about story
331
00:12:23,041 --> 00:12:24,916
but
332
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:27,125
It but Metroid games
333
00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:29,250
I actually really kind of enjoyed the
334
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:32,000
simple story that goes on in the you know
335
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,666
on the side when you're playing
336
00:12:35,083 --> 00:12:37,083
But one thing at the end of this trailer,
337
00:12:37,083 --> 00:12:38,916
which I don't think is gonna play for me
338
00:12:38,916 --> 00:12:40,416
because IGN videos never play
339
00:12:40,416 --> 00:12:44,000
At the very end of the trailer
340
00:12:44,875 --> 00:12:46,666
There's like an alien speaking
341
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:50,333
In an alien language and he refers to
342
00:12:50,333 --> 00:12:51,750
Samus as the chosen one
343
00:12:53,625 --> 00:12:55,333
And it's like can we not do that?
344
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,916
Like how many how many sci-fi games have
345
00:12:58,916 --> 00:13:00,416
to have a chosen one or sci-fi
346
00:13:00,416 --> 00:13:03,416
franchises, you know, I
347
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:05,583
Think pretty much say how many games do
348
00:13:05,583 --> 00:13:06,583
we have that have a chosen
349
00:13:06,583 --> 00:13:08,791
one? Yeah, that's a pretty big
350
00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:10,666
one for fantasy
351
00:13:11,416 --> 00:13:14,208
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah
352
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:17,666
What do you what do you think the story's
353
00:13:17,666 --> 00:13:19,625
been going on for so long that yeah,
354
00:13:19,625 --> 00:13:20,750
unfortunately you have to
355
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:22,083
hand it off to additional
356
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:26,375
Writers and and yeah, it
357
00:13:26,375 --> 00:13:27,625
always runs the risk of
358
00:13:28,666 --> 00:13:30,791
Really going a different direction than
359
00:13:30,791 --> 00:13:32,208
maybe what the original writers wanted
360
00:13:32,291 --> 00:13:34,375
I don't know if the original writers are
361
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:36,708
still on it, but I'm assuming not I don't
362
00:13:36,708 --> 00:13:39,291
believe so and it's evolved so much over
363
00:13:39,291 --> 00:13:41,375
how long is I
364
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,458
Mean is this like a 30 plus year
365
00:13:43,458 --> 00:13:45,583
franchise? I believe the
366
00:13:45,583 --> 00:13:47,208
first Metroid came out in 88
367
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:49,958
So
368
00:13:49,958 --> 00:13:53,041
We're coming up to what 40 40. We're
369
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:53,583
heading towards
370
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:56,041
heading towards it 86 my dude
371
00:13:56,041 --> 00:13:57,458
It's almost 40 years old.
372
00:13:57,458 --> 00:13:59,916
It is the same age as me
373
00:14:00,666 --> 00:14:00,958
Wow
374
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:04,166
Yeah, I I was born in 88
375
00:14:04,916 --> 00:14:06,375
So I ain't much
376
00:14:06,375 --> 00:14:08,416
younger than you. Yeah and
377
00:14:08,916 --> 00:14:11,625
Wowsers, I'll tell you what I like I
378
00:14:11,625 --> 00:14:12,916
said, I've been playing Metroid for as
379
00:14:12,916 --> 00:14:14,208
long as I can remember like
380
00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:21,375
Super Metroid specifically was my first I
381
00:14:21,375 --> 00:14:22,708
Played it, but I
382
00:14:22,708 --> 00:14:23,625
played it for the gameplay
383
00:14:23,625 --> 00:14:26,250
I don't remember that any story whenever
384
00:14:26,250 --> 00:14:29,041
it was very little the story in Metroid a
385
00:14:29,041 --> 00:14:31,625
super Metroid was super atmospheric like
386
00:14:32,583 --> 00:14:33,916
Like the I don't know if
387
00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:35,333
you remember like the intro
388
00:14:37,291 --> 00:14:39,208
Like before you even start the game
389
00:14:39,625 --> 00:14:42,291
Like it's like this mode 7 like it's
390
00:14:42,291 --> 00:14:44,083
zooming in and stuff when I was a kid
391
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:45,083
I didn't know what
392
00:14:45,083 --> 00:14:46,333
the hell it was going on
393
00:14:46,333 --> 00:14:48,458
But like there are dead there's like dead
394
00:14:48,458 --> 00:14:50,500
scientists on the ground right there like
395
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:52,708
they're dead people laying on the ground
396
00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:53,958
And and then there's
397
00:14:53,958 --> 00:14:55,416
like a Metroid with a broken
398
00:14:57,666 --> 00:14:58,208
Containment
399
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:01,458
That or something, you know, and it's
400
00:15:01,458 --> 00:15:04,333
like you when I look at it now, I'm like,
401
00:15:04,333 --> 00:15:06,666
whoa, dude. This atmosphere is like
402
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,625
Super dense and really great. The only
403
00:15:10,625 --> 00:15:12,291
the only real story beats
404
00:15:12,291 --> 00:15:14,708
that I remember is when it's like
405
00:15:15,416 --> 00:15:17,083
The last Metroid is
406
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,041
in captivity the galaxy
407
00:15:19,041 --> 00:15:21,375
That's right is at peace right and then
408
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:23,041
it has like text on the screen
409
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:24,625
was Sam is giving an intro log
410
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:26,541
And I believe there's a little bit of a
411
00:15:26,541 --> 00:15:28,125
thing at the end too, and that's it
412
00:15:28,916 --> 00:15:30,291
Everything else is done environmentally
413
00:15:30,291 --> 00:15:31,583
and I love that though.
414
00:15:31,583 --> 00:15:33,208
That's the kind of game
415
00:15:33,708 --> 00:15:35,625
Storytelling that I want, you know
416
00:15:36,625 --> 00:15:38,416
Half-life does similar stuff. They have
417
00:15:38,416 --> 00:15:40,416
some narrative. Yeah, but it's it's not
418
00:15:41,416 --> 00:15:42,833
you know, I think it's
419
00:15:42,833 --> 00:15:44,000
similar in some ways, but
420
00:15:45,166 --> 00:15:47,000
Yeah, no, I remember the game being like
421
00:15:47,916 --> 00:15:49,791
Just real atmospheric is I think the
422
00:15:49,791 --> 00:15:50,541
correct word like for
423
00:15:50,541 --> 00:15:52,333
what it was and what it is
424
00:15:52,333 --> 00:15:54,833
Like I it's it's very like
425
00:15:56,083 --> 00:15:56,625
Definitely
426
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:01,416
Just primo, yeah
427
00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:06,541
Yep, yeah, that's the thing I like about
428
00:16:07,791 --> 00:16:09,458
Video game storytelling is you get to
429
00:16:09,458 --> 00:16:12,125
experience the story at your own pace and
430
00:16:12,125 --> 00:16:13,250
it really bothers me when
431
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:14,666
the game like rips control
432
00:16:14,666 --> 00:16:17,750
Away from you to tell you a story. It's
433
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:18,625
like no, I don't want to
434
00:16:18,625 --> 00:16:19,666
if I wanted to watch a movie
435
00:16:19,666 --> 00:16:22,875
I put a put a blu-ray on you know, like
436
00:16:23,791 --> 00:16:26,125
I don't mind it depends
437
00:16:26,125 --> 00:16:27,708
at all depends on the game
438
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:28,333
Yeah, if I'm expecting it in the game fine
439
00:16:28,416 --> 00:16:31,208
If I'm expecting it in the game fine if
440
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:32,583
the franchise changes how
441
00:16:32,583 --> 00:16:33,583
they do it gets annoying
442
00:16:33,750 --> 00:16:35,458
Yeah, like honestly if they did that in
443
00:16:35,458 --> 00:16:36,333
half-life, I think I'd be
444
00:16:36,333 --> 00:16:38,458
very annoyed me too. Absolutely
445
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,416
so I
446
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:42,583
Know what to expect if as long as I know
447
00:16:42,583 --> 00:16:45,333
what to expect with my game and they
448
00:16:45,333 --> 00:16:46,250
don't change it too much
449
00:16:46,333 --> 00:16:48,250
Throughout the years that I'm fine with
450
00:16:48,250 --> 00:16:49,958
that like if I'm playing an uncharted
451
00:16:49,958 --> 00:16:53,333
game. I expect it's gonna be very story
452
00:16:54,291 --> 00:16:56,291
Driven very heavy. Yep
453
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:57,416
So
454
00:16:58,625 --> 00:17:01,041
This is interesting. I I guess I missed
455
00:17:01,041 --> 00:17:02,291
this when I looked through Monument
456
00:17:02,291 --> 00:17:03,208
Valley one two and
457
00:17:03,208 --> 00:17:04,666
three is coming to oh, yeah
458
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,208
That's kind of neat. I'm I
459
00:17:07,833 --> 00:17:09,958
Like of all the games I've played on
460
00:17:09,958 --> 00:17:11,041
Android, which isn't many
461
00:17:11,041 --> 00:17:12,750
Monument Valley is like the best
462
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,041
Is a good one. It's on
463
00:17:17,041 --> 00:17:20,166
Let's see, it's on Android iOS and
464
00:17:22,416 --> 00:17:22,875
Netflix
465
00:17:24,458 --> 00:17:26,333
Yeah, it's on Netflix
466
00:17:27,458 --> 00:17:30,000
That's interesting. Is that pretty sure
467
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,541
it's on Netflix. Is that why YouTube
468
00:17:31,541 --> 00:17:32,750
rolled out like those?
469
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:35,666
cut the rope games on YouTube because
470
00:17:35,666 --> 00:17:36,833
Netflix has games on
471
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:39,875
it now, I'm sure it is I
472
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,875
You know if people enjoy that go for I
473
00:17:44,458 --> 00:17:45,750
Don't play those types of
474
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:46,875
games if I'm gonna play a game
475
00:17:46,875 --> 00:17:48,541
I want to download it and not have it be
476
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:49,666
integrated with my videos
477
00:17:50,666 --> 00:17:53,416
Yeah, if I'm on YouTube or from Netflix,
478
00:17:53,416 --> 00:17:55,375
I'm watching stuff. I don't want to play
479
00:17:55,375 --> 00:17:58,916
now that being said I
480
00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:00,666
Don't mind it being like if people are
481
00:18:00,666 --> 00:18:01,916
enjoying it go for it
482
00:18:03,375 --> 00:18:04,208
It's just don't you know if
483
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:05,958
it fails don't get mad at me
484
00:18:08,791 --> 00:18:09,625
Which I feel like is more
485
00:18:09,625 --> 00:18:10,875
and more the answer to every
486
00:18:11,833 --> 00:18:14,250
C-level execs like well is the it's the
487
00:18:15,208 --> 00:18:18,041
Consumers fault it's full even in the get
488
00:18:18,041 --> 00:18:19,958
like in the game industry to like they
489
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:20,708
should have liked it
490
00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:21,666
It's like no, you should
491
00:18:21,666 --> 00:18:22,541
have made something better
492
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:27,625
Or just top lame us that they call that
493
00:18:27,625 --> 00:18:29,625
victim blaming. Yeah
494
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:33,791
Though though I think the one last thing
495
00:18:33,791 --> 00:18:34,583
I want to talk about
496
00:18:34,708 --> 00:18:36,791
With the Nintendo Direct is the virtual
497
00:18:36,791 --> 00:18:38,333
game cards thing. Have
498
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:39,916
you heard about this? No
499
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,875
So essentially now what you can do is any
500
00:18:43,875 --> 00:18:46,458
game that you have installed on like like
501
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:47,916
as a as a downloadable game
502
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,416
you can eject from your steam from your
503
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:54,041
from your switch and then you can log
504
00:18:54,041 --> 00:18:55,833
into another switch and
505
00:18:56,541 --> 00:18:59,833
Insert that cartridge that's a cartridge
506
00:18:59,833 --> 00:19:03,125
or is it as it's virtual. It's not
507
00:19:03,125 --> 00:19:04,458
there's not actually a cartridge
508
00:19:04,916 --> 00:19:06,250
But how do you inject it
509
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:07,875
just by like you download it? Oh
510
00:19:08,916 --> 00:19:12,208
Yeah, you can't lend it to other family
511
00:19:12,208 --> 00:19:14,750
members, too. So like I
512
00:19:14,750 --> 00:19:16,500
Love the concept. I'd like it even more
513
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,541
if I could actually like download a game
514
00:19:18,541 --> 00:19:20,750
and then they sell like either
515
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,083
Cartridges that I could write to or just
516
00:19:23,083 --> 00:19:25,416
SD card that I'd be like the perfect set
517
00:19:25,416 --> 00:19:28,541
up that it's very unique if Nintendo like
518
00:19:28,791 --> 00:19:31,500
Did like if Nintendo create came out with
519
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,416
like their their own Meg cartridge?
520
00:19:34,458 --> 00:19:36,125
You know where you could load
521
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:38,250
Games that you downloaded onto it and
522
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:39,958
pass that around that'd be cool
523
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:42,791
This is all done digitally. There's no
524
00:19:42,791 --> 00:19:45,291
physical physicality to it at all still
525
00:19:45,833 --> 00:19:47,541
Very cool that they're at least doing
526
00:19:47,541 --> 00:19:48,500
this. This is very
527
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:50,583
feels very consumer friendly
528
00:19:51,125 --> 00:19:54,208
Yeah, they're there are like some stupid
529
00:19:54,208 --> 00:19:55,708
like weird stipulations
530
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:57,625
Like you can share it with your family
531
00:19:57,625 --> 00:20:00,166
members, but I believe you can only share
532
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:01,791
it for like up to 14 days
533
00:20:02,833 --> 00:20:05,833
Which is just interesting valves doing
534
00:20:05,833 --> 00:20:09,500
this. Why can't you do it right you know?
535
00:20:10,166 --> 00:20:12,916
Valve does it in a way to where I think
536
00:20:12,916 --> 00:20:13,916
if the real login on the
537
00:20:13,916 --> 00:20:16,208
computer if you're sharing so
538
00:20:16,375 --> 00:20:18,416
Right unless they switched it
539
00:20:19,333 --> 00:20:22,708
Val, so now the way it works is you can
540
00:20:22,708 --> 00:20:24,583
share your games with
541
00:20:24,583 --> 00:20:25,875
anyone living in your household
542
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah
543
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:30,083
Like my brother lives here my girlfriend
544
00:20:30,083 --> 00:20:31,833
lives here, and the three of us are
545
00:20:31,833 --> 00:20:33,666
sharing all of our libraries
546
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,833
And I I haven't logged into well
547
00:20:37,833 --> 00:20:38,958
Maybe I did log into
548
00:20:38,958 --> 00:20:40,166
Emily's steam deck to do it
549
00:20:40,166 --> 00:20:41,333
But I don't think I logged into my
550
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:43,041
brother's computer to do it hmm
551
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:44,250
I'm I know that yeah
552
00:20:44,250 --> 00:20:46,541
It's just accounts like you just log in
553
00:20:46,541 --> 00:20:48,500
or you just share it with an account
554
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:50,208
Well, that's how it used to be and I just
555
00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:50,916
have I don't know if I've
556
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,625
set up the new way of doing it
557
00:20:52,666 --> 00:20:54,000
Or maybe I have and I just don't remember
558
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,625
but yeah the new way to do it
559
00:20:55,625 --> 00:20:57,333
It's still not just with it, but it is
560
00:20:57,333 --> 00:21:00,291
definitely I think pretty solid yeah the
561
00:21:00,291 --> 00:21:01,541
new way to do it is a lot better
562
00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:04,333
I know people complained about it when I
563
00:21:04,333 --> 00:21:05,750
was talking about on my channel because
564
00:21:05,916 --> 00:21:08,375
They used to be like oh my brother who
565
00:21:08,375 --> 00:21:10,041
you know my brother who
566
00:21:10,041 --> 00:21:12,041
lives like 40 states away
567
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:13,833
Like I used to share
568
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:14,916
my collection with him
569
00:21:15,125 --> 00:21:17,333
But but now we can't do it, and it's like
570
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:18,958
dude. That's not what it was meant for
571
00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:20,250
like why are you you know?
572
00:21:20,708 --> 00:21:23,166
I don't know and then you could you'd be
573
00:21:23,166 --> 00:21:25,041
locked out of your entire library if your
574
00:21:25,041 --> 00:21:26,250
brother played one of your games
575
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:28,583
You know I mean it's just a lot better.
576
00:21:28,583 --> 00:21:30,375
It's for families that live together like
577
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:32,416
this. Yeah, probably more for like
578
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:35,666
You know it's for you and your kids 20
579
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:37,625
maybe in the 20s and stuff like that is
580
00:21:37,625 --> 00:21:39,125
kind of what it's meant for and I will
581
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:42,875
say this right now like I
582
00:21:42,875 --> 00:21:44,666
Do think it's a little silly to get upset
583
00:21:44,666 --> 00:21:46,541
about this type of stuff because a
584
00:21:48,166 --> 00:21:49,166
Lot of games are so cheap
585
00:21:49,166 --> 00:21:50,708
just by the by the damn game
586
00:21:50,708 --> 00:21:52,750
I know it's maybe a privilege for me to
587
00:21:52,750 --> 00:21:55,291
say that or whatnot, but by the damn game
588
00:21:55,291 --> 00:21:58,000
support your the the developers we
589
00:21:58,541 --> 00:22:00,583
So many people have so many games on
590
00:22:00,583 --> 00:22:01,833
their account just play the games you
591
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:02,750
already have I guess
592
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:05,625
I don't know, but this is just a nice
593
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:08,125
little icing on the cake for me. It is
594
00:22:08,125 --> 00:22:09,833
not something I use very often
595
00:22:10,458 --> 00:22:11,625
sometimes my
596
00:22:12,916 --> 00:22:15,958
My wife uses my like sometimes we'll buy
597
00:22:15,958 --> 00:22:17,333
a copy of an indie game
598
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:17,916
or something like that
599
00:22:17,958 --> 00:22:21,000
And we'll share play in that but usually
600
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,166
it's annoying enough to
601
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:24,208
because it at least in the past
602
00:22:24,208 --> 00:22:25,958
You know I couldn't play anything else on
603
00:22:25,958 --> 00:22:26,458
my account while
604
00:22:26,458 --> 00:22:27,416
she's playing so sometimes
605
00:22:27,416 --> 00:22:28,625
I'll just buy a copy for
606
00:22:28,625 --> 00:22:30,541
just depends on what it is right
607
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:36,000
Yeah, yeah, I I don't know I I think this
608
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,708
virtual game card
609
00:22:36,708 --> 00:22:37,833
thing here is pretty neat
610
00:22:38,083 --> 00:22:39,750
I think it's cool. I like and like I
611
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:41,166
think it's a pro consumer move
612
00:22:41,291 --> 00:22:43,291
Yeah, I like that and this works not only
613
00:22:43,291 --> 00:22:44,500
on the current switch
614
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:46,791
But it will work on switch to my is my
615
00:22:46,791 --> 00:22:47,625
understanding so
616
00:22:47,625 --> 00:22:49,166
that's that's pretty cool
617
00:22:50,125 --> 00:22:52,791
Okay, I'm down for that yeah
618
00:22:54,041 --> 00:22:56,750
Um all right, let's do is there anything
619
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:57,416
else you want to talk about
620
00:22:57,416 --> 00:23:00,375
in this no no poor high tech
621
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,291
This is probably his highlight
622
00:23:02,291 --> 00:23:03,708
I'm sure he would have loved talking
623
00:23:03,708 --> 00:23:04,666
about all these we would have
624
00:23:04,666 --> 00:23:05,708
talked if high tech was here
625
00:23:05,708 --> 00:23:06,875
We would have talked about every single
626
00:23:06,875 --> 00:23:08,708
one of these games, and I've never heard
627
00:23:08,708 --> 00:23:09,708
of like five of like
628
00:23:10,208 --> 00:23:11,625
So I would have learned a
629
00:23:11,625 --> 00:23:13,500
lot from this one yes me too
630
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,458
This is this is why I miss high tech when
631
00:23:16,458 --> 00:23:18,291
he's not here because I learned so much
632
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:22,166
Alright alright, so I think the next
633
00:23:22,166 --> 00:23:24,791
story we should talk about is
634
00:23:25,583 --> 00:23:27,208
Ubisoft is
635
00:23:27,250 --> 00:23:28,666
Spinning off assassins
636
00:23:28,666 --> 00:23:30,500
Creed and a couple other
637
00:23:31,083 --> 00:23:32,583
studios or
638
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,958
Franchises I should say into its own
639
00:23:36,791 --> 00:23:39,166
Business unit, and it's getting a cash
640
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:40,750
infusion from Tencent
641
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:42,041
have you heard about this?
642
00:23:43,833 --> 00:23:45,416
No, I've only read the article
643
00:23:45,916 --> 00:23:47,375
Okay, somewhat and so
644
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,833
It's interesting. It's interesting choice
645
00:23:49,833 --> 00:23:51,875
so three of their biggest franchises
646
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:53,208
assassins Creed Far
647
00:23:53,208 --> 00:23:56,166
Cry and Rainbow six are
648
00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:58,041
Becoming their own
649
00:23:58,666 --> 00:24:01,250
subsidiary of Ubisoft and
650
00:24:01,250 --> 00:24:03,208
according to this Yahoo Finance article
651
00:24:04,291 --> 00:24:06,708
It it's valued at four
652
00:24:06,708 --> 00:24:08,833
billion dollars, which
653
00:24:09,833 --> 00:24:12,416
Really four billion for those three
654
00:24:12,416 --> 00:24:14,791
franchises honestly. I thought it would
655
00:24:14,791 --> 00:24:16,291
be more because those are
656
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,208
may get franchises
657
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:21,250
With how many assassins creeds there are
658
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:22,333
how many fire cries
659
00:24:22,333 --> 00:24:24,041
there are and Tom Clancy's?
660
00:24:24,041 --> 00:24:25,958
Well, it's Tom Clancy rainbow six, but
661
00:24:25,958 --> 00:24:26,875
like if it was all
662
00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:28,416
the Tom Clancy's mm-hmm
663
00:24:28,541 --> 00:24:30,833
That's a lot if it yeah if
664
00:24:30,833 --> 00:24:31,791
they're moving the IPs over there
665
00:24:31,791 --> 00:24:33,833
and it sounds like Ubisoft is gonna
666
00:24:33,833 --> 00:24:34,791
become more more of a
667
00:24:34,791 --> 00:24:36,375
holding company or like
668
00:24:36,916 --> 00:24:39,250
They're gonna become more like Tencent is
669
00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:40,750
what I it's what this is a kind of look
670
00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:41,750
at and this is a say
671
00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:43,625
Probably to save their asses because
672
00:24:43,625 --> 00:24:47,291
yeah, they've made so many mistakes. I
673
00:24:47,291 --> 00:24:49,375
could see I
674
00:24:49,375 --> 00:24:51,416
Could see the Ubisoft starting to go the
675
00:24:51,416 --> 00:24:52,583
route of becoming like more
676
00:24:52,583 --> 00:24:54,000
of a holdings company, which
677
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Just let Ubisoft die in my opinion
678
00:24:58,041 --> 00:25:00,375
I mean, what do they have like they have
679
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:01,750
I mean they have those three games
680
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:03,208
But if they were spitting those off into
681
00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:05,375
its own thing, then what do they have
682
00:25:05,375 --> 00:25:06,458
left like Splinter Cell?
683
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:09,416
This they have stuff. They actually have
684
00:25:09,416 --> 00:25:11,125
quite a bit of IPs that they don't do
685
00:25:11,125 --> 00:25:12,416
anything like Rayman
686
00:25:12,416 --> 00:25:13,875
They if they make another rhythm
687
00:25:14,875 --> 00:25:17,666
Man those are fun. Yeah, like those are
688
00:25:17,666 --> 00:25:19,708
really fun. Those are the type of like I
689
00:25:19,708 --> 00:25:22,083
loved Rayman is a legends
690
00:25:22,291 --> 00:25:24,750
Yeah, love it. That was really good. That
691
00:25:24,750 --> 00:25:25,958
was like one of the only good
692
00:25:26,541 --> 00:25:27,958
You saw if games are played in the last
693
00:25:27,958 --> 00:25:29,875
decade, you know, oh, you know, what else
694
00:25:29,875 --> 00:25:31,708
was really good was was it grow?
695
00:25:33,166 --> 00:25:34,125
or grow home
696
00:25:34,791 --> 00:25:35,666
grow, um
697
00:25:35,666 --> 00:25:38,041
It was like you were a red robot and you
698
00:25:38,041 --> 00:25:39,458
it was like an indie style
699
00:25:39,458 --> 00:25:41,083
game and you climbed a beanstalk
700
00:25:41,083 --> 00:25:43,416
That was so much fun. I haven't played
701
00:25:43,416 --> 00:25:44,458
it, but I've seen it and
702
00:25:44,458 --> 00:25:46,250
it does look fun far cries
703
00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:48,166
I love the far cry series, but they just
704
00:25:48,166 --> 00:25:50,500
released him in such a weird way that
705
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:51,333
there's like two of them
706
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:54,125
I haven't played and I don't know
707
00:25:54,541 --> 00:25:57,416
It I played the first far cry at my
708
00:25:57,416 --> 00:26:00,666
cousin's house on PC and that was not a
709
00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:02,541
Ubisoft game at the time that was
710
00:26:03,291 --> 00:26:05,500
That was cry cry tech, right?
711
00:26:06,250 --> 00:26:08,000
maybe it was published by Ubisoft, but
712
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,541
like Ubisoft ended up
713
00:26:09,541 --> 00:26:12,416
buying far cry from cry tech and
714
00:26:12,666 --> 00:26:15,000
Interesting. So and I played that and I
715
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,666
remember being like being graphics will
716
00:26:16,666 --> 00:26:18,000
never get better than this
717
00:26:18,916 --> 00:26:22,708
Agreed like water ice the amount of time
718
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:24,541
I spent optimizing my computer
719
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:25,958
overclocking and everything
720
00:26:26,583 --> 00:26:29,500
Mm-hmm to get far cry to look just better
721
00:26:30,125 --> 00:26:30,708
was
722
00:26:31,625 --> 00:26:33,541
stupid I
723
00:26:33,541 --> 00:26:33,916
remember
724
00:26:34,625 --> 00:26:37,000
Crawling through the grass like I was
725
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,416
prone in the grass with my gun and I
726
00:26:39,416 --> 00:26:41,791
could see the individual blades of grass
727
00:26:42,375 --> 00:26:45,166
Casting shadows on the gun and I was like
728
00:26:45,833 --> 00:26:49,250
What dude that's incredible and it was it
729
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:51,000
was so much fun and then I
730
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,750
never played another one I
731
00:26:55,125 --> 00:26:56,958
Think I played them on the console they
732
00:26:56,958 --> 00:26:58,666
were okay like because I worked at
733
00:26:58,666 --> 00:26:59,708
GameStop at the time
734
00:26:59,708 --> 00:27:01,250
And so they came out for the consoles
735
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:03,000
like I think was far cry 2 & 3
736
00:27:03,125 --> 00:27:05,750
No, no, they were it was far cry. It was
737
00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:06,500
like it wasn't even far
738
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:08,875
cry 2 & 3 it was I don't know
739
00:27:09,333 --> 00:27:12,125
I've played half the games if it's
740
00:27:12,125 --> 00:27:13,916
interesting enough. I will play it like
741
00:27:13,916 --> 00:27:15,833
the doomsday one was interesting
742
00:27:18,458 --> 00:27:22,416
Was a far cry 5 I think is what it is
743
00:27:22,750 --> 00:27:24,791
It's the one where like there's a cult
744
00:27:24,791 --> 00:27:27,916
leader and your wonder is it's pretty
745
00:27:27,916 --> 00:27:29,541
good. I actually like that one
746
00:27:30,125 --> 00:27:31,916
But it became more of like
747
00:27:32,291 --> 00:27:34,333
Situation like far cry 3 is really good
748
00:27:34,333 --> 00:27:35,500
one. Actually. I definitely
749
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,416
recommend playing that one
750
00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:39,416
but it's like the Assassin's Creed series
751
00:27:39,416 --> 00:27:41,125
like fun, they pumped them
752
00:27:41,125 --> 00:27:43,291
out too much and they weren't
753
00:27:44,625 --> 00:27:47,125
The gameplay just was too similar between
754
00:27:47,125 --> 00:27:49,666
each one and the story just was good
755
00:27:49,875 --> 00:27:51,416
Usually that's the type of games. I love
756
00:27:51,416 --> 00:27:52,541
to play. I just didn't get
757
00:27:52,541 --> 00:27:53,916
into them until black flag
758
00:27:53,916 --> 00:27:54,791
and then I just that's
759
00:27:54,791 --> 00:27:56,250
the only one I've beaten but
760
00:27:57,750 --> 00:27:58,333
this is
761
00:27:58,833 --> 00:28:00,750
Definitely an interesting direction for
762
00:28:00,750 --> 00:28:02,833
them to take and I really do think it's
763
00:28:02,833 --> 00:28:04,125
because they want to save their asses
764
00:28:04,291 --> 00:28:07,416
Like I said, like I think we've seen it
765
00:28:07,416 --> 00:28:09,250
like they're failing more and more
766
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:12,791
And in order to like save the least the
767
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:15,000
sea level execs there like we're gonna
768
00:28:16,333 --> 00:28:17,166
Set up this new
769
00:28:18,875 --> 00:28:20,791
Subsidiary and then they're gonna I think
770
00:28:20,791 --> 00:28:22,416
they're gonna start probably either maybe
771
00:28:22,416 --> 00:28:23,708
setting up multiple subsidiaries
772
00:28:24,916 --> 00:28:26,875
And then you just become more of a
773
00:28:26,875 --> 00:28:28,291
holdings company like Tencent and then
774
00:28:28,291 --> 00:28:28,916
just work with other
775
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:29,958
companies to save themselves
776
00:28:29,958 --> 00:28:32,666
I can see that it's kind of like how the
777
00:28:32,666 --> 00:28:33,833
game industry is going right now
778
00:28:34,750 --> 00:28:35,041
which
779
00:28:36,541 --> 00:28:38,666
Could end up being good short-term for
780
00:28:38,666 --> 00:28:40,750
these companies to be a subsidiary it
781
00:28:40,750 --> 00:28:42,208
could really actually help
782
00:28:42,541 --> 00:28:43,833
It's has to create far cry
783
00:28:43,833 --> 00:28:45,791
to Tom Clancy rainbow six have
784
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,375
Being a focus of that company that are
785
00:28:48,375 --> 00:28:48,916
gonna be part of
786
00:28:48,916 --> 00:28:50,125
instead of a huge conglomerate
787
00:28:50,666 --> 00:28:51,916
Could help them
788
00:28:52,625 --> 00:28:54,875
But it could all it will most likely be a
789
00:28:54,875 --> 00:28:56,250
double double-edged sword with these
790
00:28:56,250 --> 00:28:57,000
types of holding companies
791
00:28:57,125 --> 00:28:59,875
Eventually it will they will get sold off
792
00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:02,375
or pieced apart. We'll see I don't I
793
00:29:02,375 --> 00:29:04,041
don't have a lot of hope and stuff
794
00:29:04,041 --> 00:29:06,541
Like this right now. No, I mean, I don't
795
00:29:06,541 --> 00:29:08,083
have any I didn't have any hope anyway
796
00:29:09,125 --> 00:29:11,416
But like I mean cuz Tencent already owned
797
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:14,250
like 10% of Ubisoft, right? Yeah, but now
798
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:15,375
they're going to acquire
799
00:29:15,375 --> 00:29:17,791
25% stake in
800
00:29:17,958 --> 00:29:21,708
This new entity here. Yeah, so that's
801
00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:24,208
like whoa this article says it's one
802
00:29:24,208 --> 00:29:27,000
point one six billion euro
803
00:29:28,208 --> 00:29:31,208
to acquire 25% of this
804
00:29:31,208 --> 00:29:33,541
company, which is just bonkers and
805
00:29:34,541 --> 00:29:35,083
I
806
00:29:36,250 --> 00:29:37,041
Mean that means like
807
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:38,791
Tencent is like involved in
808
00:29:40,375 --> 00:29:42,458
So many like different
809
00:29:42,458 --> 00:29:44,875
publishers right like Tencent
810
00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:47,875
There it's interesting because Tencent.
811
00:29:47,875 --> 00:29:49,916
I'm sure they have a little bit of a say,
812
00:29:49,916 --> 00:29:51,416
but I don't know if they directly
813
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:53,416
influence too much
814
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,166
But they own a
815
00:29:58,166 --> 00:29:59,833
Big chunk of probably most
816
00:30:00,916 --> 00:30:02,166
Okay
817
00:30:02,708 --> 00:30:04,250
At least well, I shouldn't say a big
818
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:07,375
chunk like as a whole games, but like
819
00:30:07,375 --> 00:30:08,541
individually they
820
00:30:08,541 --> 00:30:10,458
probably own like a quarter
821
00:30:11,541 --> 00:30:13,250
At least a piece of a quarter of the
822
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:14,583
games out there. I would I wouldn't be
823
00:30:14,583 --> 00:30:16,625
shocked if they don't have some
824
00:30:17,916 --> 00:30:22,125
I mean, yeah, they own like a
825
00:30:22,333 --> 00:30:25,416
Minority stake in epic. Yeah, they own
826
00:30:25,416 --> 00:30:27,666
like a ton. They own so much.
827
00:30:27,666 --> 00:30:29,250
It's it's very concerning why
828
00:30:30,208 --> 00:30:32,375
Legends I think they do too. Oh, yeah,
829
00:30:32,375 --> 00:30:34,791
they I think they fully own League of
830
00:30:34,791 --> 00:30:36,833
Legends like the whole studio. Yeah
831
00:30:37,875 --> 00:30:39,625
But the studio still or like the company
832
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:41,583
still I think acts more on
833
00:30:41,583 --> 00:30:42,833
a creative level on its own
834
00:30:42,833 --> 00:30:45,916
I don't think it's not like Ubisoft where
835
00:30:45,916 --> 00:30:47,583
I feel like Ubisoft gave too many
836
00:30:47,583 --> 00:30:48,416
directives and then
837
00:30:48,416 --> 00:30:49,541
kind of like destroyed them
838
00:30:49,541 --> 00:30:52,250
I I will have to give this to Tencent and
839
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:53,541
I could be wrong people could let me know
840
00:30:53,541 --> 00:30:54,791
in the comments or just let
841
00:30:54,791 --> 00:30:55,375
us know somehow
842
00:30:56,458 --> 00:30:59,208
But I don't know if Tencent is as direct
843
00:30:59,208 --> 00:31:01,000
but that doesn't mean they couldn't be or
844
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,416
that they're behind the shadows
845
00:31:02,583 --> 00:31:04,416
Being more direct and I'm not saying that
846
00:31:04,416 --> 00:31:05,458
this is a good thing. It's just
847
00:31:06,041 --> 00:31:08,416
Interesting. Yeah, it's very interesting.
848
00:31:08,416 --> 00:31:10,875
Oh my gosh. They're the
849
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:12,375
Tencent headquarters is
850
00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:16,666
Bazaar, it's bizarre. What is a company
851
00:31:16,666 --> 00:31:19,458
that looks that is like like
852
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:22,833
The owns like a quarter of the world
853
00:31:23,250 --> 00:31:24,541
What is it? What are their
854
00:31:24,541 --> 00:31:25,625
headquarters building look like?
855
00:31:27,916 --> 00:31:31,125
Oh my gosh, why why would you want your
856
00:31:31,125 --> 00:31:32,000
building to look like
857
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,375
that? I like unique stuff
858
00:31:34,375 --> 00:31:35,916
I think it looks interesting
859
00:31:36,333 --> 00:31:37,375
But yeah, it is
860
00:31:37,375 --> 00:31:39,625
weird. That is very strange
861
00:31:40,791 --> 00:31:42,291
And even has connections between the two
862
00:31:42,291 --> 00:31:44,250
towers. So yeah, that's yeah.
863
00:31:44,250 --> 00:31:45,833
There you go. That's Tencent
864
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:48,916
They probably don't produce any products
865
00:31:48,916 --> 00:31:51,291
in there. It's all legal and
866
00:31:52,875 --> 00:31:54,416
Business people that thing
867
00:31:55,833 --> 00:31:56,500
Fascinating
868
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,458
Makes me feel weird, man
869
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:03,500
It it's fascinating how many companies
870
00:32:04,208 --> 00:32:04,916
own
871
00:32:05,916 --> 00:32:08,750
They don't do any like how many companies
872
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:10,958
own games or game
873
00:32:10,958 --> 00:32:13,125
companies that don't do then
874
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:16,083
Their headquarters is drastically
875
00:32:16,083 --> 00:32:17,916
different. They can go to the game studio
876
00:32:17,916 --> 00:32:19,333
very different than if
877
00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:20,333
you went to the business
878
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:22,750
District that we don't need to get into
879
00:32:22,750 --> 00:32:25,291
that crap. Yeah, what's this next thing?
880
00:32:25,833 --> 00:32:28,583
The next thing is there's a bunch of
881
00:32:28,583 --> 00:32:31,208
publishers who want to delay their games
882
00:32:31,208 --> 00:32:33,791
so that they don't compete with GTA 6
883
00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:37,583
What do you think what do you think about
884
00:32:37,583 --> 00:32:38,833
that headline first of
885
00:32:38,833 --> 00:32:40,083
all first impressions?
886
00:32:41,375 --> 00:32:42,458
Yeah, they're right like
887
00:32:42,458 --> 00:32:45,041
you'd be an idiot to release
888
00:32:46,375 --> 00:32:48,208
Honestly, you'd be an idiot. They should
889
00:32:48,208 --> 00:32:49,916
be avoiding this year period probably
890
00:32:50,833 --> 00:32:51,708
um
891
00:32:52,791 --> 00:32:55,666
Especially if GTA 6 is gonna be $300 like
892
00:32:55,666 --> 00:32:57,416
people are saying and I'm just gonna no
893
00:32:57,416 --> 00:32:59,458
one's saying that but they might as well
894
00:32:59,458 --> 00:33:02,416
I'll keep on upping that. Um, I
895
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:04,125
Because I don't care about that game very
896
00:33:04,125 --> 00:33:05,916
much. I'm I'll
897
00:33:05,916 --> 00:33:06,958
eventually play it or buy it
898
00:33:06,958 --> 00:33:08,583
I don't know when but it would be
899
00:33:08,583 --> 00:33:10,250
fascinating to see if they charge like
900
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,291
$500 see how many people would actually
901
00:33:12,291 --> 00:33:14,041
buy it for like a year early
902
00:33:14,041 --> 00:33:16,500
access more or less just to see
903
00:33:17,416 --> 00:33:20,541
Because I'm you know, let's say a mask is
904
00:33:20,541 --> 00:33:21,750
or something like that, but
905
00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:25,750
Yeah, I mean within a month you probably
906
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:28,666
don't want to release within a month's
907
00:33:28,666 --> 00:33:29,541
period of this game coming
908
00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:31,291
out not even the same week
909
00:33:32,875 --> 00:33:35,833
Yeah, dude, I mean I
910
00:33:35,833 --> 00:33:37,708
did I release my game
911
00:33:38,708 --> 00:33:41,000
the same day as Hades
912
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,958
2 stealth dropped and
913
00:33:44,041 --> 00:33:47,708
My game sold nothing like it was so bad
914
00:33:48,125 --> 00:33:50,791
So I like GTA 6 is poised to be like
915
00:33:50,791 --> 00:33:52,625
probably one of the biggest launches of
916
00:33:52,625 --> 00:33:54,333
any media anything ever
917
00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,166
And so I don't blame
918
00:33:56,166 --> 00:33:57,708
people for wanting to avoid it
919
00:33:58,125 --> 00:34:00,166
This cut this report comes from the game
920
00:34:00,166 --> 00:34:01,500
business, which I don't think I've ever
921
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:02,916
heard of the game business calm
922
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:05,083
and
923
00:34:05,125 --> 00:34:07,083
According to this article three major
924
00:34:07,083 --> 00:34:07,916
video game publishers
925
00:34:07,916 --> 00:34:08,708
have told the game business
926
00:34:09,375 --> 00:34:12,166
They are ready to delay their games to
927
00:34:12,166 --> 00:34:13,666
avoid Grand Theft Auto 6
928
00:34:14,541 --> 00:34:17,291
Rockstar's first GTA game in 12 years is
929
00:34:17,291 --> 00:34:18,875
due for release at the end of
930
00:34:19,125 --> 00:34:21,708
2025 and game companies are holding off
931
00:34:21,708 --> 00:34:24,458
confirming their q4 release slate until
932
00:34:24,458 --> 00:34:26,958
the developer makes its move. Yeah
933
00:34:28,083 --> 00:34:29,375
Yeah, I don't there's been
934
00:34:30,125 --> 00:34:32,458
Multiple games that have released during
935
00:34:32,458 --> 00:34:33,583
a very popular game.
936
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:34,250
Let's say Call of Duty
937
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,083
There's been multiple really good games
938
00:34:36,083 --> 00:34:38,416
have released and very around very
939
00:34:38,416 --> 00:34:40,041
popular game releases
940
00:34:40,041 --> 00:34:42,125
and and because of that
941
00:34:42,125 --> 00:34:45,875
Done very poorly and I don't think it's
942
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:47,083
because of marketing or anything else. I
943
00:34:47,083 --> 00:34:50,958
think it's because of that and so I
944
00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,041
Will I and I we've said this in the past.
945
00:34:53,041 --> 00:34:53,916
I will say this again
946
00:34:53,916 --> 00:34:57,333
I think it'd be hilarious just to see the
947
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:58,833
half-life would lose but I want to see
948
00:34:58,833 --> 00:35:00,166
half-life 3 dropped the same week
949
00:35:00,208 --> 00:35:02,000
Just to see yeah. Oh,
950
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,375
yeah half-life would lose
951
00:35:05,083 --> 00:35:06,916
But at least I'd have some of the plates
952
00:35:06,916 --> 00:35:09,000
and not I probably won't I just don't
953
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,291
want to be tempted to buy this
954
00:35:10,416 --> 00:35:13,083
The week of I'm and I probably will
955
00:35:13,916 --> 00:35:17,041
From dude for me. There is literally zero
956
00:35:17,041 --> 00:35:19,125
temptation like I have no
957
00:35:19,125 --> 00:35:20,541
interest in playing this game
958
00:35:20,541 --> 00:35:24,666
I have FOMO all the time. Oh, so I get
959
00:35:24,666 --> 00:35:26,083
bad FOMO depending on the game
960
00:35:26,083 --> 00:35:27,958
And if this game has like really fun
961
00:35:27,958 --> 00:35:29,250
things to do in it, I
962
00:35:29,250 --> 00:35:30,416
don't care about the GTA story
963
00:35:30,416 --> 00:35:31,750
I don't want to be a bad guy
964
00:35:32,458 --> 00:35:35,416
Personally, but I love running around and
965
00:35:35,416 --> 00:35:36,333
doing and finding all
966
00:35:36,333 --> 00:35:38,166
the cool stuff to do in GTA
967
00:35:38,166 --> 00:35:39,750
That's the thing I like about GTA
968
00:35:39,916 --> 00:35:41,875
As long as they don't lock that out and I
969
00:35:41,875 --> 00:35:43,333
can just go cruise around even though I
970
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:44,333
don't want to go to Miami
971
00:35:44,333 --> 00:35:45,625
I think that's where it's at, right? It's
972
00:35:45,625 --> 00:35:47,333
like it's in Florida somewhere again.
973
00:35:47,333 --> 00:35:48,791
Yeah something like that
974
00:35:48,958 --> 00:35:50,333
It's not what it's called, but that's
975
00:35:50,333 --> 00:35:51,583
what they base it off of
976
00:35:51,583 --> 00:35:54,458
Vice City Vice City. Yeah, I
977
00:35:54,833 --> 00:35:57,375
It'd still be fascinating to go around
978
00:35:57,375 --> 00:35:59,500
and just see what they've added. Yes
979
00:36:00,541 --> 00:36:03,208
That's why I'd get it. I mean that the
980
00:36:03,208 --> 00:36:05,166
only appeal is that for me
981
00:36:05,166 --> 00:36:08,375
like I don't I have no interest in
982
00:36:09,875 --> 00:36:11,291
For me it's like this
983
00:36:11,291 --> 00:36:12,250
is the thing that's like
984
00:36:13,208 --> 00:36:16,333
For me, I don't care about like
985
00:36:16,333 --> 00:36:17,791
supporting Rockstar. I don't want to
986
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:20,416
support them in anything. I hate Rockstar
987
00:36:21,083 --> 00:36:22,916
They're unethical the way they treat
988
00:36:22,916 --> 00:36:24,791
their employees blah blah blah the list
989
00:36:24,791 --> 00:36:26,250
goes on and on so I
990
00:36:26,250 --> 00:36:27,041
don't want to support them
991
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,166
Also like the last
992
00:36:30,166 --> 00:36:32,791
good GTA was GTA Vice City
993
00:36:32,791 --> 00:36:35,083
I think like GTA 4 was okay
994
00:36:35,083 --> 00:36:37,125
But like Vice City was like the only one
995
00:36:37,125 --> 00:36:39,416
that I really or the last one that I
996
00:36:39,416 --> 00:36:40,916
enjoyed I didn't care for
997
00:36:41,041 --> 00:36:44,458
San Andreas I didn't care for GTA 4 that
998
00:36:44,458 --> 00:36:47,125
much and I definitely didn't like GTA 5
999
00:36:48,625 --> 00:36:51,000
So I'm just I'm just not interested. I
1000
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,083
don't know I like the Red Dead Redemption
1001
00:36:53,083 --> 00:36:55,083
series, and so I will say that
1002
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
They're good. They're good. Yeah
1003
00:36:58,875 --> 00:36:59,416
but
1004
00:37:00,166 --> 00:37:02,625
Yeah, their GTA series is just okay like
1005
00:37:02,625 --> 00:37:05,500
they have other franchises that I like
1006
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:07,583
more. Let's just say that hmm
1007
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:10,458
because they have like
1008
00:37:10,458 --> 00:37:14,250
Max Payne series
1009
00:37:14,958 --> 00:37:15,666
bully
1010
00:37:16,583 --> 00:37:17,791
they have
1011
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:20,958
Bullied on I I remember playing bully
1012
00:37:20,958 --> 00:37:23,291
that was that was pretty good. Yeah, they
1013
00:37:24,041 --> 00:37:25,875
Forgot about Red Dead revolver the heck
1014
00:37:25,875 --> 00:37:28,583
they had to read it read it revolver and
1015
00:37:28,583 --> 00:37:31,708
so they have some good stuff I
1016
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:34,916
Just yeah, just not as interested. Yeah,
1017
00:37:34,916 --> 00:37:38,708
I haven't even put eight hours into GTA 5
1018
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:44,125
Honestly that could be more than I put
1019
00:37:44,125 --> 00:37:45,666
into it really I think
1020
00:37:46,416 --> 00:37:49,375
GTA 5 is I don't know I probably put
1021
00:37:49,375 --> 00:37:50,375
around that just well
1022
00:37:50,416 --> 00:37:53,208
I just I spent time wandering around and
1023
00:37:53,208 --> 00:37:55,708
just having fun hmm. That's it, and then
1024
00:37:55,708 --> 00:37:57,208
I'm sure I played something else
1025
00:37:57,208 --> 00:37:59,750
Yeah, the thing is I like the driving
1026
00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:02,250
mechanics in a lot of GTA games. I
1027
00:38:02,708 --> 00:38:04,250
Yeah, like I said at the top of the show.
1028
00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:05,958
I like driving games, but
1029
00:38:06,708 --> 00:38:07,833
the getting out of the
1030
00:38:07,833 --> 00:38:09,625
car and like shooting and
1031
00:38:09,625 --> 00:38:12,000
Beating people up and stealing shit and
1032
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,500
whatever I don't I just don't it was
1033
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:16,083
But it was fun and novel when it was
1034
00:38:16,083 --> 00:38:17,500
naughty for a kid to be
1035
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:18,500
playing it, and I'm not
1036
00:38:18,916 --> 00:38:23,083
I'm saying yeah, no I hear yet. I like
1037
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:24,958
the watchdog series more for this type of
1038
00:38:24,958 --> 00:38:26,166
stuff where it feels
1039
00:38:27,041 --> 00:38:28,208
Slightly more ethical
1040
00:38:28,791 --> 00:38:31,916
But teach their own I guess I like the
1041
00:38:31,916 --> 00:38:34,500
the the watchdog series, but yeah
1042
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:36,208
I think I played a little bit of that
1043
00:38:36,208 --> 00:38:37,500
what that's a Ubisoft game
1044
00:38:38,083 --> 00:38:40,166
It is a Ubisoft game, and it is actually
1045
00:38:40,166 --> 00:38:41,916
another series. I Ubisoft sounds a couple
1046
00:38:41,916 --> 00:38:44,750
of series. I really like my wish I
1047
00:38:44,750 --> 00:38:45,625
Wish they weren't so
1048
00:38:45,625 --> 00:38:46,333
tied up with everything
1049
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:47,583
else
1050
00:38:48,458 --> 00:38:49,000
so
1051
00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:52,750
Yeah, so one thing about this it looks
1052
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:53,958
like one of the games
1053
00:38:53,958 --> 00:38:55,666
That's good. That's probably gonna get
1054
00:38:55,666 --> 00:38:58,458
delayed is the new battlefield or the
1055
00:38:58,458 --> 00:39:00,833
battlefield relaunch. I should say
1056
00:39:01,458 --> 00:39:03,083
Battlefield relaunch
1057
00:39:03,083 --> 00:39:04,208
yeah, I'm a bit heard of that
1058
00:39:04,208 --> 00:39:06,541
I hadn't heard of that either are they
1059
00:39:06,541 --> 00:39:08,291
like relaunching the whole series because
1060
00:39:08,291 --> 00:39:10,000
they fucked up so bad
1061
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,666
with the last one probably
1062
00:39:12,041 --> 00:39:14,125
dude, I bought I
1063
00:39:14,125 --> 00:39:15,791
reserved that one and I didn't
1064
00:39:16,625 --> 00:39:19,000
It was so I played the beta. It was fun
1065
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:19,791
enough, but I'm like
1066
00:39:19,791 --> 00:39:20,791
okay. There's some big bugs
1067
00:39:20,791 --> 00:39:21,458
Hopefully they fix up
1068
00:39:21,458 --> 00:39:22,125
my time it comes out
1069
00:39:22,125 --> 00:39:23,666
I reserved it because I was super excited
1070
00:39:23,666 --> 00:39:25,375
about it because it's a little bit more
1071
00:39:25,375 --> 00:39:26,666
futuristic just a little bit and they
1072
00:39:26,666 --> 00:39:28,541
I like those types of battlefield games
1073
00:39:28,625 --> 00:39:31,083
I want them to do another like I wanted
1074
00:39:31,083 --> 00:39:31,916
them to do a like a
1075
00:39:31,916 --> 00:39:33,583
real futuristic game, but
1076
00:39:34,375 --> 00:39:36,666
besides the point and
1077
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:38,083
I wasn't able to return it because I
1078
00:39:38,083 --> 00:39:40,125
waited too long because I didn't even
1079
00:39:40,125 --> 00:39:41,250
play it I didn't even play
1080
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:43,166
Because it had such bad
1081
00:39:43,166 --> 00:39:44,708
reviews when it first came out
1082
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:48,666
And I just have such a bad taste about
1083
00:39:48,666 --> 00:39:50,208
all that and it was it's my
1084
00:39:50,208 --> 00:39:51,583
fall at the end of the day, but
1085
00:39:52,541 --> 00:39:54,041
They're gonna have to do a lot to redeem
1086
00:39:54,041 --> 00:39:56,541
themselves because their last game was
1087
00:39:56,916 --> 00:39:57,791
performed and looked
1088
00:39:57,791 --> 00:39:59,375
worse than their previous two
1089
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,250
Like you I don't know what you have to do
1090
00:40:03,250 --> 00:40:04,500
the royally fuck that bad
1091
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,750
Just use this you could use the same like
1092
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:08,916
you're using the same engine. Yeah, how
1093
00:40:08,916 --> 00:40:10,791
do you just screw it up that bad?
1094
00:40:10,833 --> 00:40:15,416
Oh
1095
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:19,958
Only in the video game industry right
1096
00:40:19,958 --> 00:40:21,708
that's what it feels like sometimes they
1097
00:40:21,708 --> 00:40:24,625
release a new like I
1098
00:40:24,958 --> 00:40:26,833
Don't get it. I don't get I don't I don't
1099
00:40:26,833 --> 00:40:29,708
get just use the same assets and
1100
00:40:30,291 --> 00:40:32,750
Just work off of that don't I don't know
1101
00:40:32,750 --> 00:40:33,583
what they were doing
1102
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:35,708
But it just ended up being drastically
1103
00:40:35,708 --> 00:40:37,500
worse, and it didn't look as good and
1104
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:38,875
everything else like yeah
1105
00:40:39,458 --> 00:40:41,708
Well, we'll get to reusing assets in a
1106
00:40:41,708 --> 00:40:43,125
minute. There's another story. We're
1107
00:40:43,125 --> 00:40:44,208
gonna talk about in a minute
1108
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:47,291
before we get to that though game stop
1109
00:40:48,125 --> 00:40:50,416
Plans to close a significant number of
1110
00:40:50,416 --> 00:40:51,791
stars and invest in
1111
00:40:51,791 --> 00:40:54,416
Bitcoin because it's 2018
1112
00:40:54,416 --> 00:41:00,750
I honestly haven't read this article of
1113
00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:02,875
you. Have you read this article? I
1114
00:41:02,875 --> 00:41:06,333
Have not they have been in the end
1115
00:41:06,375 --> 00:41:09,791
And an FT stop they've done on an NFT.
1116
00:41:09,791 --> 00:41:11,916
They've done the crypto stuff before
1117
00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:14,500
It is interesting that the reinvesting in
1118
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:15,833
a Bitcoin. Maybe it's because
1119
00:41:16,666 --> 00:41:20,291
The US government is attempting to divest
1120
00:41:20,291 --> 00:41:24,500
into Bitcoin, which is a bizarre thing
1121
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:32,083
Yeah, I don't know it could like if they
1122
00:41:32,083 --> 00:41:34,250
invest now and then the US government
1123
00:41:34,958 --> 00:41:36,416
Invest in and then they could then they
1124
00:41:36,416 --> 00:41:38,625
could rugpole and then they'd make at
1125
00:41:38,625 --> 00:41:41,125
least survive a little longer. Yeah
1126
00:41:42,041 --> 00:41:43,666
Dude I have you been
1127
00:41:43,666 --> 00:41:44,708
to a game stop recently
1128
00:41:45,250 --> 00:41:48,250
Yeah, oh my gosh. I there's a game stop
1129
00:41:48,250 --> 00:41:49,625
about 20 minutes from my house
1130
00:41:50,625 --> 00:41:52,333
And I went in there
1131
00:41:52,791 --> 00:41:55,083
Just because I was like in the area and
1132
00:41:55,083 --> 00:41:55,916
I'd get like a sandwich
1133
00:41:55,916 --> 00:41:57,041
at this shop next door
1134
00:41:57,041 --> 00:41:59,625
And I was like I was like what's been
1135
00:41:59,625 --> 00:42:01,041
it's been like two three years
1136
00:42:01,041 --> 00:42:01,875
since I've been to a game stop
1137
00:42:01,875 --> 00:42:02,625
Let's go in there, so I
1138
00:42:02,625 --> 00:42:03,250
went in there with Emily
1139
00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:06,958
And it was depressing it was
1140
00:42:08,208 --> 00:42:09,916
Depressing it was like
1141
00:42:09,916 --> 00:42:13,166
there were there were patches of
1142
00:42:13,166 --> 00:42:16,875
Like physical media on the walls, right
1143
00:42:16,875 --> 00:42:17,541
and then there were
1144
00:42:17,541 --> 00:42:19,041
empty shelves in between
1145
00:42:19,041 --> 00:42:21,333
So like there was the Xbox section and
1146
00:42:21,333 --> 00:42:23,208
then it was mostly empty shelves
1147
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:25,250
And then it was the PlayStation section
1148
00:42:25,250 --> 00:42:27,791
and then it was mostly empty shelves and
1149
00:42:27,791 --> 00:42:29,416
then in the center of the store
1150
00:42:29,583 --> 00:42:33,000
It was like the kind of stuff that you
1151
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,583
would have got from
1152
00:42:33,583 --> 00:42:35,208
ThinkGeek like, you know
1153
00:42:35,250 --> 00:42:36,416
15 years ago or whatever
1154
00:42:36,416 --> 00:42:38,250
it was like a bunch of like
1155
00:42:38,791 --> 00:42:39,916
plushies and
1156
00:42:40,041 --> 00:42:43,000
Like nerdy like trinkets and stuff and I
1157
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,375
was like this sucks
1158
00:42:44,375 --> 00:42:46,000
like this is really sad
1159
00:42:47,250 --> 00:42:47,916
Um
1160
00:42:48,208 --> 00:42:50,750
My my kid really did like it
1161
00:42:51,041 --> 00:42:53,916
My son he was he was pretty like when we
1162
00:42:53,916 --> 00:42:55,166
went in there's a lot of cool stuff
1163
00:42:55,791 --> 00:42:59,000
Honestly, I've been I live probably 30
1164
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,916
minutes away from you know
1165
00:43:00,916 --> 00:43:03,250
10 minutes to 30 minutes from like four
1166
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:06,250
maybe five game stops like where I live I
1167
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,291
can get to them pretty quick
1168
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:10,750
Some of them are very depressing and some
1169
00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:11,458
of them are okay like
1170
00:43:11,458 --> 00:43:12,500
the one I went to was okay
1171
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:13,625
The problem was is like
1172
00:43:13,625 --> 00:43:16,375
they didn't have split fiction
1173
00:43:17,208 --> 00:43:20,000
New which is and they came out that week
1174
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,958
which I think it just did well enough to
1175
00:43:21,958 --> 00:43:22,625
where it was sold out
1176
00:43:22,916 --> 00:43:24,500
Which I've just never heard of a game
1177
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:26,416
selling out in a long time
1178
00:43:26,916 --> 00:43:29,500
Back in the in the 90s and 2000s. You had
1179
00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:30,375
to reserve games and
1180
00:43:30,375 --> 00:43:31,875
they could sell out. Yeah
1181
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,416
Nowadays because the digital and
1182
00:43:34,416 --> 00:43:35,416
everything I just don't
1183
00:43:35,416 --> 00:43:37,541
hear a game selling out. So I
1184
00:43:37,541 --> 00:43:39,041
Wasn't able to pick that game up at the
1185
00:43:39,041 --> 00:43:40,458
GameStop, but I picked up
1186
00:43:40,458 --> 00:43:42,125
some I don't do this very often
1187
00:43:42,125 --> 00:43:44,833
But I picked up some used ps5 games there
1188
00:43:44,833 --> 00:43:46,875
one of them being watchdogs
1189
00:43:46,875 --> 00:43:48,583
Lee, I think it was like legions or
1190
00:43:48,583 --> 00:43:48,958
something like that,
1191
00:43:48,958 --> 00:43:49,708
which I haven't played yet
1192
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,708
But I picked up for five bucks make sure
1193
00:43:51,708 --> 00:43:52,750
why not like this is a
1194
00:43:52,750 --> 00:43:53,625
series. I really like
1195
00:43:54,333 --> 00:43:56,708
It wasn't bad and they had a lot. They
1196
00:43:56,708 --> 00:43:58,583
actually had quite a bit of a selection
1197
00:43:58,583 --> 00:44:01,208
which is not typical
1198
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,166
But it's definitely not the same as it
1199
00:44:04,166 --> 00:44:05,750
used to be right? They get
1200
00:44:07,291 --> 00:44:08,208
Going downhill
1201
00:44:09,416 --> 00:44:11,125
Unfortunately, yeah, and I say that
1202
00:44:11,125 --> 00:44:13,083
because if I go to a mall
1203
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:14,541
I there's not a whole lot
1204
00:44:14,541 --> 00:44:15,875
I'm gonna be doing at a mall. I want to
1205
00:44:15,875 --> 00:44:18,250
game stop right. Oh, man. I
1206
00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:19,416
haven't been to a mall dude
1207
00:44:19,458 --> 00:44:20,791
There's a mall like 40
1208
00:44:20,791 --> 00:44:21,666
minutes from my house
1209
00:44:24,291 --> 00:44:27,916
It's in Bangor in Bangor, Maine and
1210
00:44:28,125 --> 00:44:31,583
they I keep getting like email note or
1211
00:44:31,583 --> 00:44:32,583
not emails, but like
1212
00:44:32,583 --> 00:44:34,291
push notifications from the
1213
00:44:34,958 --> 00:44:37,000
from the newspaper because I'm a
1214
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
subscriber because local media and
1215
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,916
I
1216
00:44:41,916 --> 00:44:43,416
keep getting emails like the city of
1217
00:44:43,416 --> 00:44:44,708
Bangor has decided to
1218
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:48,625
Like use eminent domain to take the mall
1219
00:44:48,625 --> 00:44:52,291
Like it is it's dude like it is like
1220
00:44:52,291 --> 00:44:53,750
collapsing in on itself
1221
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:56,541
Like that bolt two of the three anchors
1222
00:44:56,541 --> 00:44:58,291
are gone. Like it's
1223
00:44:58,291 --> 00:45:00,541
just it's bad. It's so bad
1224
00:45:00,833 --> 00:45:04,583
And like people Walmart walk mall walkers
1225
00:45:04,583 --> 00:45:07,208
are like not going in there anymore
1226
00:45:07,208 --> 00:45:09,458
Because like it's so bad like and when
1227
00:45:09,458 --> 00:45:11,458
you lose the mall walkers you
1228
00:45:11,458 --> 00:45:13,125
you've lost the plot as a mall
1229
00:45:14,125 --> 00:45:15,750
It's what's that?
1230
00:45:15,916 --> 00:45:17,458
Funny enough like the closer you get to
1231
00:45:17,458 --> 00:45:18,916
like art the denser parts of our
1232
00:45:18,916 --> 00:45:20,958
metropolitan area here in Salt Lake City
1233
00:45:20,958 --> 00:45:22,541
Like it's the moles are
1234
00:45:22,541 --> 00:45:24,208
much fancier much like nicer
1235
00:45:24,250 --> 00:45:26,041
Yeah, no further you get away from that
1236
00:45:26,041 --> 00:45:27,666
and more into like more libertarian areas
1237
00:45:28,208 --> 00:45:30,458
I will say this but it is
1238
00:45:30,458 --> 00:45:31,666
like that like there's one
1239
00:45:33,125 --> 00:45:34,791
South of me that is
1240
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:37,041
Half of it. It feels like
1241
00:45:37,041 --> 00:45:38,500
they're trying to set it up to be
1242
00:45:39,208 --> 00:45:41,916
Almost like what is it? I don't even know
1243
00:45:41,916 --> 00:45:43,083
what the word is in English
1244
00:45:44,541 --> 00:45:47,125
Because I know it in Russian but
1245
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:51,416
It's like third-party markets where
1246
00:45:51,416 --> 00:45:52,750
people like kind of like it sound like
1247
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:53,458
what you were saying
1248
00:45:53,958 --> 00:45:56,250
So you I went in like I've never heard of
1249
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:56,791
any of these stores.
1250
00:45:56,791 --> 00:45:58,625
They're set up in a very weird
1251
00:45:58,833 --> 00:46:01,375
Mmm, almost third world away in some way.
1252
00:46:01,375 --> 00:46:02,250
I don't know. Yeah, it's
1253
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:03,125
not it wasn't third world
1254
00:46:03,125 --> 00:46:04,916
Obviously, but like they're knockoff
1255
00:46:04,916 --> 00:46:07,375
generic brand right is bizarre
1256
00:46:07,708 --> 00:46:10,416
Yeah, and I'm just like this is this is
1257
00:46:10,416 --> 00:46:11,000
unfortunate because
1258
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,250
it's a nice two-story mall
1259
00:46:13,833 --> 00:46:16,833
Yeah, don't get me started cuz I do like
1260
00:46:16,833 --> 00:46:18,500
it pisses me off when I go
1261
00:46:18,500 --> 00:46:20,791
on like Amazon and it's like
1262
00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:24,916
You know you search for like something
1263
00:46:24,916 --> 00:46:27,208
whatever Kleenex and it comes up with
1264
00:46:27,958 --> 00:46:28,916
dinger bring
1265
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:30,208
brand
1266
00:46:31,416 --> 00:46:33,041
Kleenex tissues and I'm and you're like
1267
00:46:33,041 --> 00:46:34,416
what what does dinger bring mean?
1268
00:46:34,458 --> 00:46:36,416
What does that even have like there's you
1269
00:46:36,416 --> 00:46:38,083
know, at least with Kleenex. It's
1270
00:46:38,291 --> 00:46:39,833
inferring an idea of
1271
00:46:39,833 --> 00:46:41,458
like cleaning your nose
1272
00:46:42,625 --> 00:46:45,041
Whatever. Hey, oh man it so that kind of
1273
00:46:45,041 --> 00:46:46,916
stuff that happens at arm all up here,
1274
00:46:46,916 --> 00:46:50,000
too. It's it's oh, yeah it is
1275
00:46:51,166 --> 00:46:52,916
Amazon's almost getting unusable. It's
1276
00:46:52,916 --> 00:46:54,166
going the way of like Google
1277
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,958
yeah, search in some ways because you go
1278
00:46:57,958 --> 00:46:59,875
to Amazon and you type something in and
1279
00:46:59,875 --> 00:47:01,000
you're gonna get all the
1280
00:47:01,625 --> 00:47:03,625
Chinese knockoff or
1281
00:47:05,125 --> 00:47:06,041
Yeah, it is
1282
00:47:06,541 --> 00:47:08,250
You're not gonna get exactly what you
1283
00:47:08,250 --> 00:47:10,333
want and because it's cheaper people you
1284
00:47:10,333 --> 00:47:11,750
tend to buy that but
1285
00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:13,041
it's cheaper for a reason
1286
00:47:13,208 --> 00:47:13,833
so
1287
00:47:15,125 --> 00:47:15,666
man
1288
00:47:17,666 --> 00:47:20,166
So I want GameStop to survive I
1289
00:47:20,625 --> 00:47:22,791
It's unfortunate. I want I honestly I
1290
00:47:22,791 --> 00:47:24,500
want malls to survive so that they can
1291
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:26,541
compete with Amazon. I just don't know
1292
00:47:27,416 --> 00:47:28,250
What yeah, I mean
1293
00:47:28,666 --> 00:47:30,791
Here's the thing and this is getting into
1294
00:47:30,791 --> 00:47:32,041
like my own politics a
1295
00:47:32,041 --> 00:47:33,083
little bit, but I'll tell you this
1296
00:47:33,125 --> 00:47:36,625
I want malls and Amazon to disappear. I
1297
00:47:36,625 --> 00:47:38,916
think the only like real competition that
1298
00:47:38,916 --> 00:47:41,916
you can manage against Amazon is
1299
00:47:42,416 --> 00:47:45,250
Local Main Streets, right? Like malls are
1300
00:47:45,250 --> 00:47:47,166
a completely unnatural
1301
00:47:47,625 --> 00:47:52,416
And so fun economic like sink they don't
1302
00:47:52,416 --> 00:47:54,541
they don't belong like they're there
1303
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:57,208
They're like a cancer in my opinion and I
1304
00:47:57,208 --> 00:47:59,000
think that Amazon can only exist
1305
00:47:59,416 --> 00:48:01,541
Because of the culture that malls created
1306
00:48:01,541 --> 00:48:04,208
but that that goes that goes on to it
1307
00:48:04,666 --> 00:48:06,916
Like malls here like in the winter time.
1308
00:48:06,916 --> 00:48:09,291
I don't want to walk the streets to go
1309
00:48:09,291 --> 00:48:11,833
shopping at a strip mall or a strips
1310
00:48:11,833 --> 00:48:13,916
Street, I don't want to walk the the
1311
00:48:13,916 --> 00:48:16,000
malls are nice. You go in nice pleasant.
1312
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:16,958
You can get yourself
1313
00:48:17,625 --> 00:48:19,625
Some food walk around when to shop a
1314
00:48:19,625 --> 00:48:22,125
little bit then go in like I'm not like I
1315
00:48:22,125 --> 00:48:23,666
wish malls had more stuff for me
1316
00:48:23,666 --> 00:48:25,291
Like I'm not as big into like
1317
00:48:25,958 --> 00:48:28,958
shopping for clothes, but I'll go with my
1318
00:48:28,958 --> 00:48:31,333
wife and it's it's it's nice to walk
1319
00:48:31,333 --> 00:48:32,541
around and then they have
1320
00:48:34,083 --> 00:48:35,916
They'll have events there they have
1321
00:48:35,916 --> 00:48:37,583
trains like it's fun,
1322
00:48:37,583 --> 00:48:41,916
but I agree like it can I
1323
00:48:41,916 --> 00:48:44,750
Don't know. It's a hard one because my
1324
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:47,166
whole thing is it's private property
1325
00:48:47,166 --> 00:48:50,208
That's owned the and I don't like that
1326
00:48:50,833 --> 00:48:53,416
Aspect like you in order to go into any
1327
00:48:53,416 --> 00:48:54,458
of these shops you have to
1328
00:48:54,458 --> 00:48:56,375
first go into private property
1329
00:48:56,375 --> 00:48:58,916
I do like that it's walkable, right?
1330
00:48:58,916 --> 00:49:01,375
But it also means you have to in most
1331
00:49:01,375 --> 00:49:03,500
places you have to drive your car and
1332
00:49:03,500 --> 00:49:05,708
park in order to walk the mall
1333
00:49:05,916 --> 00:49:08,208
Which dude, we should just have like
1334
00:49:08,208 --> 00:49:10,416
walkable cities right walkable town. Oh,
1335
00:49:10,416 --> 00:49:11,916
I agree with that and so
1336
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:14,833
And like if you wanted to go protest at
1337
00:49:14,833 --> 00:49:16,583
the mall, you can't protest at the mall
1338
00:49:16,625 --> 00:49:18,541
You can't you can't like interesting
1339
00:49:18,541 --> 00:49:20,708
because it's private property. They can
1340
00:49:20,708 --> 00:49:22,750
control who can and can't be there
1341
00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:25,000
And but if you wanted to like make a
1342
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,208
statement out on Main Street
1343
00:49:27,291 --> 00:49:29,416
You can get people's attention and you
1344
00:49:29,416 --> 00:49:31,916
can actually do it. I don't know if you
1345
00:49:31,916 --> 00:49:33,750
protest, but I worry about these things
1346
00:49:33,750 --> 00:49:35,333
Yeah, you could you could
1347
00:49:36,083 --> 00:49:38,250
Convinced me to like more of a public
1348
00:49:38,875 --> 00:49:40,833
style mall for like each city, but
1349
00:49:42,083 --> 00:49:43,625
That would be interesting to yeah
1350
00:49:43,791 --> 00:49:47,583
I just like it would be Main Street. I
1351
00:49:47,583 --> 00:49:49,333
Know but I wanted to be indoors because
1352
00:49:49,333 --> 00:49:51,333
yeah here in Utah it gets
1353
00:49:51,333 --> 00:49:52,958
really hot or gets really cold
1354
00:49:52,958 --> 00:49:55,208
And I don't like dealing
1355
00:49:55,208 --> 00:49:57,416
with Main Street or walking
1356
00:49:57,916 --> 00:49:59,750
House I like doing I was
1357
00:49:59,750 --> 00:50:02,291
like in downtown Salt Lake
1358
00:50:02,625 --> 00:50:05,458
There's a mall and I'm not gonna get be
1359
00:50:05,458 --> 00:50:07,541
down behind the religious portions of
1360
00:50:07,541 --> 00:50:09,208
this mall, but it is
1361
00:50:10,208 --> 00:50:13,541
It is really like I love what humanity
1362
00:50:13,541 --> 00:50:15,166
can build like I love cruises. I love
1363
00:50:15,166 --> 00:50:17,083
yeah big massive things. I just like
1364
00:50:18,333 --> 00:50:20,916
Big structures yeah, but the top portion
1365
00:50:20,916 --> 00:50:22,875
can open up in the summertime
1366
00:50:23,041 --> 00:50:25,375
And then it closes in the wintertime so
1367
00:50:25,375 --> 00:50:27,125
that it can stay heated and that is
1368
00:50:27,833 --> 00:50:30,500
awesome now the problem is it's all super
1369
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:32,416
expensive luxury items for
1370
00:50:33,541 --> 00:50:34,916
The elite religious
1371
00:50:34,916 --> 00:50:36,541
people around here, but yeah
1372
00:50:37,166 --> 00:50:39,041
It's dope cool. That
1373
00:50:39,041 --> 00:50:41,125
is I mean it sounds cool
1374
00:50:41,791 --> 00:50:43,125
the reason that I
1375
00:50:44,583 --> 00:50:46,916
The reason I brought any of this up was
1376
00:50:46,916 --> 00:50:48,125
like when I moved I lived
1377
00:50:48,125 --> 00:50:50,416
in Kentucky for a while and
1378
00:50:50,541 --> 00:50:54,083
There was like nowhere to walk like just
1379
00:50:54,083 --> 00:50:56,208
to walk by shops and businesses
1380
00:50:57,333 --> 00:50:59,416
Unless it was in a mall and
1381
00:50:59,416 --> 00:51:00,958
when I came back to Maine I
1382
00:51:02,541 --> 00:51:02,625
I
1383
00:51:02,625 --> 00:51:05,583
Realized how much I missed the Main
1384
00:51:05,583 --> 00:51:07,125
Street right like
1385
00:51:07,125 --> 00:51:09,125
because the town I grew up in
1386
00:51:09,291 --> 00:51:11,666
You can walk down Main Street, and
1387
00:51:11,666 --> 00:51:14,958
there's 70 businesses. They're all small
1388
00:51:14,958 --> 00:51:15,875
businesses their own
1389
00:51:16,250 --> 00:51:18,666
Locally many of them are producing their
1390
00:51:18,666 --> 00:51:20,875
own products right right here in Maine
1391
00:51:21,291 --> 00:51:24,375
Great, but and that's how it is in many
1392
00:51:24,375 --> 00:51:26,083
of the towns especially along the coast
1393
00:51:26,083 --> 00:51:27,208
right you go to Bar Harbor
1394
00:51:27,208 --> 00:51:29,041
You go to Rockland you go to
1395
00:51:29,583 --> 00:51:32,416
Portland I mean there's so many really
1396
00:51:32,416 --> 00:51:34,125
nice Main Streets and even
1397
00:51:34,125 --> 00:51:36,041
inland at the end in Bangor
1398
00:51:36,041 --> 00:51:37,208
There's a really great Main Street
1399
00:51:37,208 --> 00:51:39,708
But like down in Kentucky like there was
1400
00:51:39,708 --> 00:51:42,083
nowhere to walk around and meet people
1401
00:51:42,083 --> 00:51:43,375
and do things and then
1402
00:51:43,375 --> 00:51:44,333
I think that's my lucky
1403
00:51:44,333 --> 00:51:45,708
issue I've been to a
1404
00:51:45,708 --> 00:51:47,750
couple of different places in
1405
00:51:47,916 --> 00:51:52,166
South and and other parts of like I
1406
00:51:52,166 --> 00:51:55,041
Yeah, because like so on the west coast
1407
00:51:55,041 --> 00:51:57,416
and in like here in Utah
1408
00:51:58,375 --> 00:52:01,291
We have both we have a mix of both we
1409
00:52:01,291 --> 00:52:02,500
have a Main Street where?
1410
00:52:03,458 --> 00:52:05,208
like the one I was talking about
1411
00:52:05,916 --> 00:52:07,833
Like the GameStop we have GameStops that
1412
00:52:07,833 --> 00:52:09,125
are outside you have to walk to it
1413
00:52:09,125 --> 00:52:10,375
You have to walk to the target yet the
1414
00:52:10,375 --> 00:52:12,791
walk like we have a mix of both the
1415
00:52:12,791 --> 00:52:15,500
problem more than any of the time is
1416
00:52:16,208 --> 00:52:17,583
Half our walkable stuff
1417
00:52:17,583 --> 00:52:19,458
outside is yet across the street
1418
00:52:19,458 --> 00:52:20,958
And you have a bunch of assholes here
1419
00:52:20,958 --> 00:52:22,916
like we have so much
1420
00:52:22,916 --> 00:52:24,458
road rages that we we have
1421
00:52:25,375 --> 00:52:27,125
This is going way off topic
1422
00:52:27,750 --> 00:52:28,750
campaigns for
1423
00:52:28,958 --> 00:52:30,708
People do not shoot each other when with
1424
00:52:30,708 --> 00:52:31,791
road rage because we've had so many
1425
00:52:31,791 --> 00:52:34,791
incidents. Oh my gosh Wow so a
1426
00:52:34,791 --> 00:52:36,916
Mall feels a lot safer for my kids do not
1427
00:52:36,916 --> 00:52:39,125
get rent over or shot so yeah
1428
00:52:39,250 --> 00:52:41,541
Well yeah, and that leads me to wanting
1429
00:52:41,541 --> 00:52:42,958
to ban cars, but that's
1430
00:52:42,958 --> 00:52:45,541
just I'm an extremist I
1431
00:52:45,541 --> 00:52:47,375
Can be an extremist too sometimes I want
1432
00:52:47,375 --> 00:52:48,541
walkable cities to with you
1433
00:52:48,541 --> 00:52:49,958
I'm with you on that one because it's
1434
00:52:49,958 --> 00:52:51,541
honestly if you go to a city
1435
00:52:52,291 --> 00:52:53,833
that is walkable or
1436
00:52:54,541 --> 00:52:56,000
That has really good public
1437
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:56,583
transportation.
1438
00:52:56,583 --> 00:52:57,500
That's clean and everything
1439
00:52:58,166 --> 00:52:58,750
you're
1440
00:52:59,416 --> 00:53:01,041
You change your mind. I think I think
1441
00:53:01,041 --> 00:53:02,250
people just need to go do that more
1442
00:53:02,250 --> 00:53:03,666
because you'd be shocked at
1443
00:53:03,666 --> 00:53:07,041
how pleasant it can be and
1444
00:53:07,041 --> 00:53:09,458
I agree with you on that there's a town
1445
00:53:09,916 --> 00:53:10,916
This is the last thing I'll
1446
00:53:10,916 --> 00:53:12,041
say about this there's a town
1447
00:53:12,541 --> 00:53:15,041
About an hour from here where like at a
1448
00:53:15,041 --> 00:53:16,000
certain point in the day
1449
00:53:16,333 --> 00:53:19,000
Traffic is completely closed on on most
1450
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,208
of its main roads like
1451
00:53:20,208 --> 00:53:22,416
it downtown and and like
1452
00:53:22,791 --> 00:53:24,583
when when traffic closes
1453
00:53:24,583 --> 00:53:27,625
people go out in the streets and
1454
00:53:27,625 --> 00:53:29,666
and and it's and it's not like you know
1455
00:53:29,666 --> 00:53:31,125
there's just a few people walking down
1456
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:31,833
the street while you're
1457
00:53:31,833 --> 00:53:33,083
driving right you see just a
1458
00:53:33,291 --> 00:53:34,500
handful of people they
1459
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:35,708
close the streets and
1460
00:53:36,083 --> 00:53:38,375
People flood the streets and it's like
1461
00:53:38,375 --> 00:53:40,791
where are all these people like when cars
1462
00:53:40,791 --> 00:53:42,250
are in play right there?
1463
00:53:42,250 --> 00:53:44,208
They're they're trapped in their private
1464
00:53:44,208 --> 00:53:45,791
little cars, and they
1465
00:53:45,791 --> 00:53:46,916
don't they don't go out
1466
00:53:46,916 --> 00:53:48,916
They don't spend money at the local shops
1467
00:53:48,916 --> 00:53:50,916
It's crazy to me like I don't understand
1468
00:53:50,916 --> 00:53:53,208
why we do shut the way we do here
1469
00:53:53,916 --> 00:53:56,416
It's a whole go like there's a lot of
1470
00:53:56,416 --> 00:53:57,791
documentaries. There's a lot of stuff on
1471
00:53:57,791 --> 00:53:59,708
this on the whole car
1472
00:54:00,583 --> 00:54:03,208
Lobbyists like people are more
1473
00:54:03,208 --> 00:54:04,541
brainwashed and more
1474
00:54:05,125 --> 00:54:07,250
Trained to do this than they realize it's
1475
00:54:07,250 --> 00:54:10,083
kind of hilarious actually, but yeah
1476
00:54:10,083 --> 00:54:11,750
Did we have a similar
1477
00:54:11,750 --> 00:54:14,208
like where I grew up in st.
1478
00:54:14,208 --> 00:54:15,916
George we had this we have the same thing
1479
00:54:15,916 --> 00:54:17,208
like they'd close down Main Street
1480
00:54:17,208 --> 00:54:18,791
That concerts and stuff and you could
1481
00:54:18,791 --> 00:54:20,291
walk around and I think they did it in
1482
00:54:20,291 --> 00:54:22,166
the summer time to do it every week
1483
00:54:22,166 --> 00:54:23,166
I think yeah
1484
00:54:24,166 --> 00:54:25,291
So yeah in the summer
1485
00:54:25,291 --> 00:54:25,541
Yeah
1486
00:54:25,541 --> 00:54:27,750
it's like I think I think they're
1487
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:29,583
planning on closing one of the streets
1488
00:54:29,583 --> 00:54:31,875
like permanently over the summer and
1489
00:54:31,875 --> 00:54:34,166
Just letting people park a couple blocks
1490
00:54:34,166 --> 00:54:35,958
away and walk and there's
1491
00:54:35,958 --> 00:54:37,958
more cities doing that yeah
1492
00:54:37,958 --> 00:54:39,208
Which is good needs to
1493
00:54:39,208 --> 00:54:41,166
happen it needs to happen yeah
1494
00:54:42,208 --> 00:54:43,125
But
1495
00:54:43,125 --> 00:54:45,958
I like seeing game stops when I go to
1496
00:54:45,958 --> 00:54:47,416
malls or go to strip like when I go to
1497
00:54:47,416 --> 00:54:48,458
place like that because it's fun at
1498
00:54:48,458 --> 00:54:50,791
Least isn't a place I can go to yeah
1499
00:54:50,916 --> 00:54:52,583
While my wife goes and shops for
1500
00:54:52,583 --> 00:54:54,416
something like else that I might not be
1501
00:54:54,416 --> 00:54:55,625
as interested in yeah
1502
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:57,541
And I can go do some window shopping is
1503
00:54:57,541 --> 00:54:59,375
and I don't know also I
1504
00:54:59,375 --> 00:55:00,041
worked at the game stops
1505
00:55:00,041 --> 00:55:01,458
So it's nostalgic for me kind of just
1506
00:55:01,458 --> 00:55:02,500
yeah thing I want to say on that
1507
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,791
Yeah, I mean it's it's sad because I
1508
00:55:04,791 --> 00:55:05,833
think about game stuff like
1509
00:55:05,833 --> 00:55:07,041
when I think about game stop
1510
00:55:07,041 --> 00:55:08,875
I'm like man that you know I remember
1511
00:55:08,875 --> 00:55:09,625
going to game stop
1512
00:55:09,625 --> 00:55:10,333
and it was an experience
1513
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:12,375
You know I told that story about like
1514
00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:14,250
when my brother like we did the midnight
1515
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,708
Halo reach launched
1516
00:55:16,708 --> 00:55:18,875
together, and that was so much fun
1517
00:55:18,875 --> 00:55:21,625
So it is nostalgic and and it is sad that
1518
00:55:21,625 --> 00:55:23,625
they're closing how many stores that they
1519
00:55:23,625 --> 00:55:24,875
don't even say it's just the
1520
00:55:25,208 --> 00:55:27,708
There they're still significant stores.
1521
00:55:27,708 --> 00:55:29,333
It's gonna keep on happening. They've
1522
00:55:29,333 --> 00:55:30,333
almost like they've almost
1523
00:55:30,333 --> 00:55:31,708
gone on over multiple times
1524
00:55:32,083 --> 00:55:33,541
It'll be interesting to see how they're
1525
00:55:33,541 --> 00:55:34,916
in they invest in Bitcoin
1526
00:55:35,458 --> 00:55:38,083
I'm not against a changing our global
1527
00:55:38,416 --> 00:55:40,875
Currency or even going to
1528
00:55:40,875 --> 00:55:43,416
something different. I just I
1529
00:55:43,416 --> 00:55:46,083
Just don't know I'm a little turned off
1530
00:55:46,083 --> 00:55:51,375
by Bitcoin right now, but we'll see I I
1531
00:55:51,375 --> 00:55:53,583
Do think that another reason game stops
1532
00:55:53,583 --> 00:55:54,625
also not doing as well as
1533
00:55:54,625 --> 00:55:56,666
physical media is not as popular
1534
00:55:57,166 --> 00:55:59,250
People also hate their like you they're
1535
00:55:59,250 --> 00:56:00,000
like well if I trade
1536
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,208
something in it's not as you know I
1537
00:56:02,208 --> 00:56:03,208
Get screwed on I'm like yeah
1538
00:56:03,208 --> 00:56:04,791
Well, then don't trade it in like this
1539
00:56:04,791 --> 00:56:06,333
the only option you have or you can sell
1540
00:56:06,333 --> 00:56:06,875
it on Facebook
1541
00:56:06,875 --> 00:56:08,125
marketplace like that's okay
1542
00:56:08,208 --> 00:56:09,458
Capitalism works you're not gonna get the
1543
00:56:09,458 --> 00:56:10,875
best deal every time and I
1544
00:56:10,875 --> 00:56:12,125
think people have a bitter
1545
00:56:14,208 --> 00:56:17,416
You know experience from that but yeah,
1546
00:56:17,416 --> 00:56:20,041
yeah, I don't know I
1547
00:56:21,333 --> 00:56:22,791
Whatever let's move on
1548
00:56:22,791 --> 00:56:26,708
I know it's it's depressing if I'm gonna
1549
00:56:26,708 --> 00:56:28,291
buy physical media anyway. I'm gonna go
1550
00:56:28,291 --> 00:56:29,250
to bull most music
1551
00:56:29,250 --> 00:56:31,083
which is a locally owned oh
1552
00:56:32,291 --> 00:56:35,458
Music and game and movie plays so anyway
1553
00:56:35,833 --> 00:56:36,625
I
1554
00:56:37,833 --> 00:56:38,750
Gg
1555
00:56:40,083 --> 00:56:42,625
They're reusing assets in like a dragon.
1556
00:56:42,625 --> 00:56:44,000
I told you we'd get to this
1557
00:56:44,375 --> 00:56:47,208
They're defending their their rationale
1558
00:56:47,208 --> 00:56:49,875
and honestly like I think we're using
1559
00:56:49,875 --> 00:56:51,833
assets in games make sense
1560
00:56:52,416 --> 00:56:55,708
I like I don't I haven't read this one.
1561
00:56:55,708 --> 00:56:58,583
This was put in here by high tech, but I
1562
00:56:59,666 --> 00:57:00,916
Don't know the the fact
1563
00:57:00,916 --> 00:57:02,541
that they're reusing assets
1564
00:57:02,833 --> 00:57:04,750
Means that they get to put more time into
1565
00:57:04,750 --> 00:57:06,833
other things like if if that's actually
1566
00:57:06,833 --> 00:57:08,083
what they're doing. I don't know
1567
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:11,791
But like make from like if
1568
00:57:11,791 --> 00:57:14,000
I'm if I made a new game and
1569
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,541
And it made sense for me to include some
1570
00:57:15,541 --> 00:57:17,708
assets from doodlings. I would do it. Why
1571
00:57:17,708 --> 00:57:18,791
not it's already made
1572
00:57:19,958 --> 00:57:22,916
So this debate has been going on for a
1573
00:57:22,916 --> 00:57:24,833
long time of reusing assets
1574
00:57:25,083 --> 00:57:27,708
Some games have reused too many where you
1575
00:57:27,708 --> 00:57:29,166
see a game come out too
1576
00:57:29,166 --> 00:57:31,875
soon. I think Far Cry 5's
1577
00:57:31,875 --> 00:57:35,000
What is it there's a game that came out
1578
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,750
right after Far Cry 5
1579
00:57:36,750 --> 00:57:39,000
that was because I'm
1580
00:57:39,083 --> 00:57:40,541
spoilers if you if you don't
1581
00:57:40,541 --> 00:57:42,333
know how Far Cry 5 ends, but
1582
00:57:42,416 --> 00:57:44,708
Nukes do land which is a little annoying
1583
00:57:44,708 --> 00:57:46,541
you do all the work and the the freaking
1584
00:57:46,541 --> 00:57:48,250
person still wins at the end
1585
00:57:48,250 --> 00:57:50,041
And then the next game
1586
00:57:50,041 --> 00:57:51,583
that's like it's like a spin-off
1587
00:57:52,375 --> 00:57:55,208
You play in the post-apocalyptic area
1588
00:57:56,125 --> 00:57:58,833
They were used a ton of the assets, but I
1589
00:57:58,833 --> 00:57:59,916
don't think it was like
1590
00:57:59,916 --> 00:58:01,583
$40. It wasn't $60 game
1591
00:58:02,833 --> 00:58:03,958
That's a little bit
1592
00:58:03,958 --> 00:58:04,916
pushing the line where
1593
00:58:05,416 --> 00:58:07,583
90 like it feels like 80% of the game
1594
00:58:07,583 --> 00:58:10,291
wasn't was the same but at the same time
1595
00:58:10,375 --> 00:58:11,916
I
1596
00:58:11,916 --> 00:58:14,416
Think more studios need to reuse assets
1597
00:58:14,666 --> 00:58:16,583
But then make sure they
1598
00:58:16,583 --> 00:58:17,666
inject a lot of new stuff
1599
00:58:17,708 --> 00:58:19,916
So you make they feel like a new game as
1600
00:58:19,916 --> 00:58:20,375
long as you're making
1601
00:58:20,375 --> 00:58:21,625
it feel like a new game
1602
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,250
That is totally fine to reuse assets. You
1603
00:58:24,250 --> 00:58:26,000
just got to make sure you have some
1604
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,875
unique new assets to add to it
1605
00:58:28,625 --> 00:58:31,541
Yeah, I agree it there has yeah you get a
1606
00:58:31,541 --> 00:58:32,083
feel it out. You
1607
00:58:32,083 --> 00:58:33,500
gotta like make sure that
1608
00:58:33,916 --> 00:58:36,083
It's not just a complete asset flip
1609
00:58:36,083 --> 00:58:38,791
But also if you own the assets and you're
1610
00:58:38,791 --> 00:58:41,500
not like buying them from somewhere else
1611
00:58:41,500 --> 00:58:43,291
like a third party then it's totally cool
1612
00:58:43,291 --> 00:58:45,541
I think I'm just even fine with third
1613
00:58:45,541 --> 00:58:47,541
party if you you can modify those things
1614
00:58:47,708 --> 00:58:50,125
And like it's a rock. It's a rock yeah
1615
00:58:50,250 --> 00:58:52,666
There's certain things that are fine, but
1616
00:58:52,666 --> 00:58:53,875
yeah if you're going to
1617
00:58:53,875 --> 00:58:55,416
make it look and feel generic
1618
00:58:56,375 --> 00:58:59,208
It's just gonna sell like a generic so
1619
00:58:59,208 --> 00:59:01,291
yeah better be careful with that right
1620
00:59:01,291 --> 00:59:03,125
I mean like that kind of goes back to
1621
00:59:03,125 --> 00:59:04,208
when we were talking about like
1622
00:59:05,916 --> 00:59:07,875
So many Unreal Engine 5
1623
00:59:07,875 --> 00:59:10,291
games look and feel very similar
1624
00:59:10,291 --> 00:59:11,500
And it's cuz they're using
1625
00:59:11,500 --> 00:59:13,125
like the Nana the Nanaite
1626
00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:15,791
Not Nanaite. What's the thing like the
1627
00:59:15,791 --> 00:59:18,625
there's luminous then I there's
1628
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:20,583
Well, it's like the
1629
00:59:20,583 --> 00:59:23,166
assets from that. Oh the mega
1630
00:59:23,166 --> 00:59:25,458
It's now called a fab store um yeah,
1631
00:59:25,458 --> 00:59:29,416
yeah, I don't know they they oh you run
1632
00:59:29,416 --> 00:59:30,791
the risk when you use
1633
00:59:30,791 --> 00:59:32,750
Yeah, or reuse assets that your games
1634
00:59:32,750 --> 00:59:34,375
just gonna look like everybody else's
1635
00:59:34,375 --> 00:59:36,041
they're all using the same rock textures
1636
00:59:36,041 --> 00:59:36,958
They're all using the same
1637
00:59:36,958 --> 00:59:38,958
trees. You know you can well
1638
00:59:39,541 --> 00:59:40,916
Here's the here's a little trick if
1639
00:59:40,916 --> 00:59:41,708
you're building a game
1640
00:59:41,708 --> 00:59:43,833
And you get those which I do I do use
1641
00:59:43,833 --> 00:59:45,041
some of those assets you
1642
00:59:45,041 --> 00:59:47,791
modify them you change them up
1643
00:59:48,500 --> 00:59:51,750
I'm not a 3d artist, so I can't you know
1644
00:59:51,750 --> 00:59:53,125
recreate all this other stuff
1645
00:59:53,125 --> 00:59:55,291
But you can get them and you can modify
1646
00:59:55,291 --> 00:59:56,666
textures you can modify a lot of
1647
00:59:56,666 --> 00:59:57,833
different things that make them your own
1648
00:59:58,916 --> 01:00:00,125
That's the trick you
1649
01:00:00,125 --> 01:00:01,750
got to make it feel not
1650
01:00:02,208 --> 01:00:05,041
Generic and with the Unreal engine
1651
01:00:05,083 --> 01:00:08,333
I don't I don't agree and I think you
1652
01:00:08,333 --> 01:00:09,875
gardener and like most the industry
1653
01:00:10,166 --> 01:00:12,166
Do feel this way with the Unreal Engine?
1654
01:00:12,750 --> 01:00:15,541
I feel like it is a developer issue if
1655
01:00:15,541 --> 01:00:17,375
you're unreal 5 game
1656
01:00:17,375 --> 01:00:18,916
feels the same as another one
1657
01:00:19,208 --> 01:00:21,541
That's not a developer issue not a
1658
01:00:22,125 --> 01:00:24,208
Engine issue per se they just made it
1659
01:00:24,208 --> 01:00:25,041
easier, and then people
1660
01:00:25,041 --> 01:00:26,875
are being lazy I guess yeah
1661
01:00:28,625 --> 01:00:28,708
I
1662
01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:30,916
Can see that one one thing too about this
1663
01:00:30,916 --> 01:00:33,291
is like they fully acknowledge that they?
1664
01:00:33,916 --> 01:00:35,833
Reused assets and unlike
1665
01:00:35,833 --> 01:00:37,375
a lot of other companies
1666
01:00:38,083 --> 01:00:40,000
In our studios in the
1667
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,458
in the industry you know
1668
01:00:42,875 --> 01:00:45,375
RGG studio has been one of the few that's
1669
01:00:45,375 --> 01:00:46,541
like releasing games
1670
01:00:47,041 --> 01:00:48,916
Pretty frequently you know
1671
01:00:49,250 --> 01:00:52,250
And it takes time to develop new like
1672
01:00:52,250 --> 01:00:54,958
assets, so if you can reuse stuff. I
1673
01:00:54,958 --> 01:00:55,625
think it makes sense
1674
01:00:57,041 --> 01:00:58,875
Just make it feel different just make it
1675
01:00:58,875 --> 01:00:59,833
hard a certain amount
1676
01:00:59,833 --> 01:01:01,125
make sure it feels different
1677
01:01:02,250 --> 01:01:02,666
I
1678
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,541
Don't I don't have much else to say you
1679
01:01:05,541 --> 01:01:06,708
have anything else about that
1680
01:01:06,708 --> 01:01:09,333
one. That's that's it like I I
1681
01:01:11,291 --> 01:01:13,208
It's interesting these types of stories
1682
01:01:13,208 --> 01:01:15,708
will pop up all the time like they'll pop
1683
01:01:15,708 --> 01:01:17,250
up every few years on
1684
01:01:18,125 --> 01:01:20,791
Asset reusing like using reusing assets
1685
01:01:20,791 --> 01:01:23,250
and so just do it right it's
1686
01:01:23,250 --> 01:01:24,750
a balancing game, man. Yeah
1687
01:01:26,916 --> 01:01:29,250
So Cristiano Ronaldo. I
1688
01:01:29,250 --> 01:01:30,583
don't know who that is
1689
01:01:30,583 --> 01:01:32,125
is
1690
01:01:32,125 --> 01:01:35,458
Now in a fighting game I?
1691
01:01:35,458 --> 01:01:36,625
only slightly know
1692
01:01:38,375 --> 01:01:39,000
It's a dude
1693
01:01:40,166 --> 01:01:44,041
Was the fighter chiseled draw yeah, so
1694
01:01:47,750 --> 01:01:50,416
Yeah, I
1695
01:01:50,416 --> 01:01:50,791
Mean
1696
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:53,458
There's more more
1697
01:01:53,458 --> 01:01:55,416
celebrities partnering up like
1698
01:01:56,916 --> 01:01:59,583
How what is his face?
1699
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:02,208
He does man. He lives
1700
01:02:02,208 --> 01:02:03,916
actually here in Salt Lake
1701
01:02:04,916 --> 01:02:05,583
but
1702
01:02:06,250 --> 01:02:08,375
The celebrity there's a
1703
01:02:08,375 --> 01:02:10,958
celebrity that is here. He's a senior
1704
01:02:12,041 --> 01:02:15,375
and he's partnered up with
1705
01:02:17,291 --> 01:02:18,500
Like three or four different
1706
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:20,041
companies like game companies
1707
01:02:20,416 --> 01:02:23,375
To do just DLC's and stuff for so it's
1708
01:02:23,375 --> 01:02:25,583
it's interesting how it it's becoming
1709
01:02:25,583 --> 01:02:26,375
more and more of a thing
1710
01:02:26,416 --> 01:02:27,625
It's like a four is like fortnight
1711
01:02:27,625 --> 01:02:29,750
I think fortnight started this trend to
1712
01:02:29,750 --> 01:02:30,708
start including more and more
1713
01:02:30,708 --> 01:02:32,625
celebrities. How do you feel about
1714
01:02:32,625 --> 01:02:34,250
celebrities entering the gaming world?
1715
01:02:35,458 --> 01:02:38,166
I mean, I liked it back in the day when
1716
01:02:38,833 --> 01:02:40,333
Jack Black was in
1717
01:02:41,625 --> 01:02:45,500
That double fine game I
1718
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:46,916
Can't remember the name of it on which
1719
01:02:46,916 --> 01:02:47,875
double fine game was
1720
01:02:47,875 --> 01:02:49,416
he in he was it a voice
1721
01:02:49,416 --> 01:02:50,916
He's been in a couple of them. Yeah, he
1722
01:02:50,916 --> 01:02:52,791
did um. Oh he voiced it
1723
01:02:52,916 --> 01:02:55,708
It wasn't his like him as well character
1724
01:02:55,708 --> 01:02:57,916
though Jack Black double fine
1725
01:02:59,666 --> 01:03:00,958
Cuz I've played a few
1726
01:03:00,958 --> 01:03:03,250
double fine, and I'm
1727
01:03:03,375 --> 01:03:04,500
What is this one oh?
1728
01:03:05,125 --> 01:03:08,000
Yeah, see this makes so much sense like
1729
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,333
this is brutal legend. Oh my god. I can't
1730
01:03:10,333 --> 01:03:11,750
put a legend couldn't think of the name
1731
01:03:11,750 --> 01:03:14,500
Yeah, yeah, so that 100% makes sense it
1732
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:16,125
makes like honestly even with this
1733
01:03:16,125 --> 01:03:17,083
fighter one the
1734
01:03:17,083 --> 01:03:18,375
fiddle fury it makes sense
1735
01:03:18,375 --> 01:03:20,666
I don't know how I feel about this
1736
01:03:21,166 --> 01:03:24,666
Fully it makes sense, but especially if
1737
01:03:24,666 --> 01:03:25,625
you want to try to capture
1738
01:03:25,625 --> 01:03:28,000
a whole new crowd of people
1739
01:03:28,333 --> 01:03:29,916
Mm-hmm you could drive cells really well,
1740
01:03:29,916 --> 01:03:32,666
but it it can come off. It's very cringe
1741
01:03:32,666 --> 01:03:34,541
if not done. He's a he's a footballer
1742
01:03:35,166 --> 01:03:37,000
Yeah, he's a it looks like
1743
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,375
he's not yeah, yeah, okay
1744
01:03:39,375 --> 01:03:41,625
Well, I mean a footballer in a fighting
1745
01:03:41,625 --> 01:03:43,500
game and fatal fury well
1746
01:03:43,500 --> 01:03:45,791
at the end it showed the his
1747
01:03:46,708 --> 01:03:48,375
Old or something like that whatever it
1748
01:03:48,375 --> 01:03:50,166
is. I'm not I haven't played Phil for a
1749
01:03:50,166 --> 01:03:52,916
long time, but he kicked the soccer ball
1750
01:03:52,916 --> 01:03:55,166
Yeah, yeah, okay
1751
01:03:55,166 --> 01:03:58,708
Yeah, little cringe to me, but yeah well
1752
01:03:58,708 --> 01:04:00,666
dude I kind of like the either play like
1753
01:04:00,666 --> 01:04:02,041
any of the NBA games
1754
01:04:02,041 --> 01:04:03,958
like from like the mid
1755
01:04:04,708 --> 01:04:08,375
2010s where they had like the actual NBA
1756
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:09,583
players come in and do the
1757
01:04:09,583 --> 01:04:11,583
voice overs yeah for the story
1758
01:04:11,583 --> 01:04:13,375
And it's like hey, man
1759
01:04:14,083 --> 01:04:16,625
You know time to get a thing done
1760
01:04:16,791 --> 01:04:18,958
It's like just puts an
1761
01:04:18,958 --> 01:04:21,750
effort in man, but uh yeah
1762
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:23,708
I don't know I feel like that's I kind of
1763
01:04:23,708 --> 01:04:26,333
got those vibes here from from his acting
1764
01:04:27,166 --> 01:04:30,416
Like where was it? He's like looking like
1765
01:04:30,416 --> 01:04:34,083
oh geez. Oh, no big cartoon, man
1766
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,916
It's they have their skill sets that
1767
01:04:38,916 --> 01:04:39,708
they've trained their whole
1768
01:04:39,708 --> 01:04:41,166
life for and it's definitely not
1769
01:04:41,208 --> 01:04:46,458
Yeah, some of the stuff that is
1770
01:04:46,458 --> 01:04:47,125
definitely not voice
1771
01:04:47,125 --> 01:04:48,500
acting that's for sure
1772
01:04:49,833 --> 01:04:52,000
It is interesting though like I
1773
01:04:54,875 --> 01:04:57,916
Like they there's a lot of people that
1774
01:04:57,916 --> 01:05:00,083
are entering the world like a lot of
1775
01:05:00,083 --> 01:05:01,916
actors entering the world of being
1776
01:05:01,916 --> 01:05:03,083
modeled inside of games,
1777
01:05:03,083 --> 01:05:04,666
which I think is interesting I
1778
01:05:05,416 --> 01:05:07,916
Don't want it to eat into
1779
01:05:07,916 --> 01:05:09,500
voice actors themselves though
1780
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:12,291
I don't want them to lose a job and these
1781
01:05:12,291 --> 01:05:13,833
people like I don't know I just
1782
01:05:15,166 --> 01:05:16,875
It runs the risk of just
1783
01:05:16,875 --> 01:05:18,458
reusing the same person it
1784
01:05:19,291 --> 01:05:21,375
The same person over and over again, and
1785
01:05:21,375 --> 01:05:23,250
it's like Jack Black right now is
1786
01:05:23,250 --> 01:05:24,958
starting to feel very fatigued like I
1787
01:05:26,375 --> 01:05:28,416
Seen him in Minecraft. I'm just like not
1788
01:05:28,416 --> 01:05:29,666
interested. That's the
1789
01:05:29,666 --> 01:05:30,291
part I'm interested about
1790
01:05:30,291 --> 01:05:34,333
I'm just like dude, okay, you don't need
1791
01:05:34,333 --> 01:05:35,291
to be in everything dude
1792
01:05:35,291 --> 01:05:36,250
like yeah, it's starting
1793
01:05:36,291 --> 01:05:38,125
I want some fresh blood. I
1794
01:05:38,125 --> 01:05:42,416
want a new talent. I want a
1795
01:05:42,583 --> 01:05:44,750
Difference in my media. I don't need the
1796
01:05:44,750 --> 01:05:46,875
same person right like
1797
01:05:49,041 --> 01:05:51,333
Yeah, I mean for for me
1798
01:05:51,333 --> 01:05:53,833
It's like it was it's it's fun when it's
1799
01:05:53,833 --> 01:05:56,958
novel and it's and and it's it's fun when
1800
01:05:56,958 --> 01:05:57,916
it's unique and
1801
01:05:57,916 --> 01:05:58,958
interesting and makes sense
1802
01:05:59,541 --> 01:06:02,375
And as soon as that's any of those three
1803
01:06:02,916 --> 01:06:05,541
Cease to be the case. It's I'm not
1804
01:06:05,541 --> 01:06:08,000
interested anymore. You know like
1805
01:06:09,458 --> 01:06:11,291
Keanu Reeves in
1806
01:06:12,083 --> 01:06:14,041
Cyberpunk I was just kind of
1807
01:06:14,041 --> 01:06:15,541
like now we don't need that
1808
01:06:16,416 --> 01:06:17,750
But see that's the part that's the one
1809
01:06:17,750 --> 01:06:20,625
where I actually liked it. I actually
1810
01:06:20,625 --> 01:06:23,041
really liked his character in sight
1811
01:06:23,041 --> 01:06:24,750
I haven't I haven't played I don't know
1812
01:06:25,333 --> 01:06:27,000
And that's fine. There's a lot of people
1813
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:27,916
that didn't that though
1814
01:06:27,916 --> 01:06:29,083
there weren't fans of that
1815
01:06:29,375 --> 01:06:31,833
And Keanu Reeves is not in too many video
1816
01:06:31,833 --> 01:06:34,041
games, so he's not right used too much
1817
01:06:34,541 --> 01:06:35,833
But I for some reason he
1818
01:06:35,833 --> 01:06:37,833
just did a good job in that I
1819
01:06:37,833 --> 01:06:40,250
Like Keanu Reeves. I think he's great as
1820
01:06:40,250 --> 01:06:43,041
neo. It's he's funny in Bill and Ted
1821
01:06:43,041 --> 01:06:46,750
But I just I was like I just don't see
1822
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:49,333
the point of bringing in celebrities like
1823
01:06:49,333 --> 01:06:50,125
I don't know the time
1824
01:06:50,625 --> 01:06:52,750
Typically would say that but if that was
1825
01:06:52,750 --> 01:06:54,625
like right at the beginning of when I was
1826
01:06:54,625 --> 01:06:56,166
kind of done with celebrities
1827
01:06:56,166 --> 01:06:58,041
I agree when I saw cyberpunk. I was like
1828
01:06:58,041 --> 01:06:59,583
I don't know about this with Keanu Reeves
1829
01:06:59,583 --> 01:07:02,416
But then he plays certain characters so
1830
01:07:02,416 --> 01:07:03,541
well, and he was an
1831
01:07:03,541 --> 01:07:06,083
anarchist essentially an anarchist
1832
01:07:08,541 --> 01:07:10,666
And just the way
1833
01:07:10,916 --> 01:07:12,166
Keanu Reeves played it
1834
01:07:12,166 --> 01:07:13,708
I think lended very well to that and I
1835
01:07:13,708 --> 01:07:14,583
would have been curious to
1836
01:07:14,583 --> 01:07:15,541
see if someone else would have
1837
01:07:15,833 --> 01:07:17,833
Been able to pull that off as well as he
1838
01:07:17,833 --> 01:07:20,083
did but once again, you know
1839
01:07:21,083 --> 01:07:22,708
I don't want him to be in every video
1840
01:07:22,708 --> 01:07:24,000
game either like that'd be really
1841
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,333
annoying Mark Hamill
1842
01:07:25,916 --> 01:07:27,791
I think is a good one
1843
01:07:27,791 --> 01:07:29,000
though because he does the
1844
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:31,916
He does the Joker and the Batman Arkham
1845
01:07:31,916 --> 01:07:34,333
series and he does a great job
1846
01:07:34,583 --> 01:07:35,958
See Mark Hamill
1847
01:07:36,833 --> 01:07:39,708
Okay, like he's Lou Skywalker, but he
1848
01:07:39,708 --> 01:07:41,083
disappears in his
1849
01:07:41,083 --> 01:07:42,625
other roles like he's like
1850
01:07:42,625 --> 01:07:44,291
you know
1851
01:07:45,333 --> 01:07:47,416
He's just a he's like he's a character
1852
01:07:47,416 --> 01:07:50,541
actor and and and he's a voice actor
1853
01:07:50,833 --> 01:07:52,416
Before I even think of him as Luke
1854
01:07:52,416 --> 01:07:54,208
Skywalker, so I'm cool with
1855
01:07:54,208 --> 01:07:55,458
Mark Hamill showing up anywhere
1856
01:07:55,458 --> 01:07:57,625
I don't care about that and he's also he
1857
01:07:57,625 --> 01:07:58,875
was also doing it with like Wing
1858
01:07:58,875 --> 01:08:00,791
Commander in the frickin early 90s
1859
01:08:00,791 --> 01:08:02,500
So like I'm I don't have a
1860
01:08:02,500 --> 01:08:03,791
problem with him. He's an og
1861
01:08:03,958 --> 01:08:06,000
He's an og and he does a lot of voice
1862
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:06,875
acting where it's not
1863
01:08:06,875 --> 01:08:08,458
his face in there. Yes
1864
01:08:08,458 --> 01:08:10,750
So yeah, there's times where I could I
1865
01:08:10,750 --> 01:08:13,916
agree with that but it they're injecting
1866
01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:15,750
celebrities like this
1867
01:08:16,250 --> 01:08:19,458
More more and I am I really I've been
1868
01:08:19,458 --> 01:08:20,833
trying to this I've been stolen this
1869
01:08:20,833 --> 01:08:22,083
whole time to try to figure out who
1870
01:08:22,541 --> 01:08:27,000
I'm thinking of cuz I don't
1871
01:08:27,250 --> 01:08:29,333
Damn it Indiana Jones
1872
01:08:30,208 --> 01:08:31,875
No, Indiana Joe. So
1873
01:08:31,875 --> 01:08:33,000
the new Indiana Jones has
1874
01:08:33,916 --> 01:08:36,416
Is it's no a mill in north right or is it
1875
01:08:36,416 --> 01:08:37,875
Troy Baker? It's Troy Baker.
1876
01:08:37,875 --> 01:08:39,625
I think he does an amazing job
1877
01:08:39,875 --> 01:08:43,166
He's I mean that the thing with that I
1878
01:08:43,166 --> 01:08:44,541
actually kind of am on
1879
01:08:44,541 --> 01:08:45,750
board with that because
1880
01:08:46,208 --> 01:08:48,500
There is only Indiana Jones
1881
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:50,333
right like it's not it's not
1882
01:08:50,583 --> 01:08:53,500
Harrison Ford he's he is Indiana Jones
1883
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:54,750
and so you have to have
1884
01:08:55,250 --> 01:08:57,250
Indiana Jones look and sound
1885
01:08:57,250 --> 01:08:59,333
like him. I'm cool with that
1886
01:08:59,750 --> 01:09:01,083
especially because they're not bringing
1887
01:09:01,083 --> 01:09:02,791
in Harrison Ford and
1888
01:09:02,791 --> 01:09:04,416
then scanning him and then
1889
01:09:04,541 --> 01:09:06,791
De-aging him in the in the geometry and
1890
01:09:06,791 --> 01:09:07,666
the textures and shit
1891
01:09:07,666 --> 01:09:08,916
like it's I don't know
1892
01:09:08,916 --> 01:09:11,541
I like that I'm fine with that. He's such
1893
01:09:11,541 --> 01:09:14,291
a grumpy actor these days that he does a
1894
01:09:14,291 --> 01:09:15,458
good job in some stuff
1895
01:09:15,458 --> 01:09:17,375
But as Indiana Jones, I just think he's
1896
01:09:17,375 --> 01:09:18,250
it's just kind of over and
1897
01:09:18,250 --> 01:09:19,541
if you tried to voice act
1898
01:09:19,958 --> 01:09:21,666
Indiana Jones, I think it
1899
01:09:21,666 --> 01:09:24,416
would have not ended well. Yes
1900
01:09:25,791 --> 01:09:29,666
Yep, anyway, I don't know is there you
1901
01:09:29,666 --> 01:09:33,791
have someone in mind. Yes, I'm trying to
1902
01:09:33,791 --> 01:09:37,708
What does it's such a weird one
1903
01:09:38,916 --> 01:09:41,208
I
1904
01:09:41,208 --> 01:09:42,875
Usually let my brain doesn't work
1905
01:09:42,875 --> 01:09:46,291
sometimes and so I I look I work off of
1906
01:09:47,375 --> 01:09:49,666
Susie my wife and so she'll know what
1907
01:09:50,291 --> 01:09:52,541
Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It's just
1908
01:09:52,541 --> 01:09:53,500
there's a lot of celebrities being
1909
01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:54,625
injected into more and more
1910
01:09:54,625 --> 01:09:56,083
and I think it's because of
1911
01:09:56,541 --> 01:09:58,041
Fortnight which is fine
1912
01:10:00,416 --> 01:10:03,833
But I don't mind fortnight like if people
1913
01:10:03,833 --> 01:10:05,041
want to go that route go that route
1914
01:10:05,083 --> 01:10:07,541
I'm not gonna play it but I
1915
01:10:07,541 --> 01:10:09,208
I am a little worried about
1916
01:10:09,791 --> 01:10:11,750
Up and coming dogs and up and coming
1917
01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:13,750
voice actors are gonna get replaced by
1918
01:10:13,750 --> 01:10:14,791
just more of the same
1919
01:10:14,791 --> 01:10:16,541
celebrities that already have more
1920
01:10:16,541 --> 01:10:18,791
Work than they need in my opinion. Like
1921
01:10:18,791 --> 01:10:21,000
yeah, I want a diversity and I don't want
1922
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,166
companies to play it safe by just
1923
01:10:23,833 --> 01:10:26,458
Utilizing the same, you know dozen
1924
01:10:28,041 --> 01:10:31,041
Actors and where voice actors need roles
1925
01:10:31,041 --> 01:10:34,750
to right? That's my my thing. Well, um
1926
01:10:35,666 --> 01:10:36,333
what?
1927
01:10:39,208 --> 01:10:39,625
Hellblade
1928
01:10:40,208 --> 01:10:43,500
Like she's an amazing actress right from
1929
01:10:43,500 --> 01:10:44,958
no blade. I can't remember her name
1930
01:10:44,958 --> 01:10:47,875
But like you if they were all just
1931
01:10:47,875 --> 01:10:49,791
getting getting like big celebrity names,
1932
01:10:49,791 --> 01:10:51,666
we would have never met that
1933
01:10:52,625 --> 01:10:53,583
Actress, you know
1934
01:10:53,916 --> 01:10:57,041
Truth. I don't know. I yeah video games.
1935
01:10:57,041 --> 01:10:59,333
I don't think we need to have more
1936
01:10:59,333 --> 01:11:00,916
celebrities. We need to get more
1937
01:11:02,125 --> 01:11:04,416
Folks undiscovered talent. I like that
1938
01:11:06,041 --> 01:11:08,416
All right, hunt showdown is what it is
1939
01:11:08,416 --> 01:11:10,833
hunt showdown had post Malone
1940
01:11:11,291 --> 01:11:13,083
That's what it is post Malone
1941
01:11:13,083 --> 01:11:15,458
has been in multiple games now
1942
01:11:16,083 --> 01:11:18,500
But there's a new one and we I think they
1943
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:19,916
did an announcement when we
1944
01:11:19,916 --> 01:11:21,416
watched it for the game awards
1945
01:11:22,375 --> 01:11:24,291
but post Malone, yeah, which
1946
01:11:25,083 --> 01:11:27,541
He's fine. I it's that
1947
01:11:27,541 --> 01:11:28,750
he just loves the game
1948
01:11:29,041 --> 01:11:29,541
but
1949
01:11:30,833 --> 01:11:34,083
Yeah, I heard what we have a to had like
1950
01:11:35,208 --> 01:11:37,791
Ethan and Eli Klein from h3h3
1951
01:11:37,791 --> 01:11:39,625
You remember that and I even that I was
1952
01:11:39,625 --> 01:11:43,708
like in why paid in payday they had DLC
1953
01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:46,708
I did not know that that is
1954
01:11:47,708 --> 01:11:50,708
Bizarre what a bazero. Why would you add
1955
01:11:50,708 --> 01:11:52,750
h3h3 people into that?
1956
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,000
I don't know like I
1957
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,375
like h3 like they're funny
1958
01:11:55,375 --> 01:11:57,541
But like I was like dude that just
1959
01:11:57,541 --> 01:11:59,166
doesn't feel right to me
1960
01:11:59,541 --> 01:12:03,791
Like crazy, but yeah, they died through
1961
01:12:03,791 --> 01:12:05,375
them are actors either. I was like why
1962
01:12:05,375 --> 01:12:06,666
no, why are we doing this?
1963
01:12:07,583 --> 01:12:09,291
But that is a bizarre. That's
1964
01:12:09,291 --> 01:12:10,875
a bizarre choice. That's yeah
1965
01:12:11,750 --> 01:12:13,833
Okay, that that's a choice that that's
1966
01:12:13,833 --> 01:12:15,583
what I don't understand and even with the
1967
01:12:15,583 --> 01:12:16,500
post Malone. I'm like
1968
01:12:18,083 --> 01:12:20,625
He I don't know if he's a good enough
1969
01:12:20,625 --> 01:12:24,375
actor to but because it is hunt showdown
1970
01:12:24,416 --> 01:12:26,291
He might roll. Okay in that
1971
01:12:26,291 --> 01:12:27,750
because it is a very gritty game
1972
01:12:28,250 --> 01:12:30,041
Mm-hmm, but I haven't played it. I just
1973
01:12:30,041 --> 01:12:32,041
yeah, I know I've never
1974
01:12:32,041 --> 01:12:33,125
heard of hunt showdown
1975
01:12:33,750 --> 01:12:35,750
Hunt showdown is a really fun
1976
01:12:36,833 --> 01:12:41,541
get it's a you can do solo duel or or
1977
01:12:42,583 --> 01:12:42,750
or
1978
01:12:43,333 --> 01:12:45,166
A trio and you go in
1979
01:12:45,166 --> 01:12:47,000
and it's like back in 18
1980
01:12:47,291 --> 01:12:49,625
80 what is it 18 something?
1981
01:12:50,416 --> 01:12:53,541
1896 and has guns and it has
1982
01:12:53,583 --> 01:12:56,541
Monsters that you're essentially hunting
1983
01:12:56,541 --> 01:12:58,125
down, but you're in a squad and you have
1984
01:12:58,125 --> 01:12:59,416
to you can take out other squads
1985
01:12:59,625 --> 01:13:01,416
Then you have to take down the monster
1986
01:13:01,416 --> 01:13:03,208
and then you have to extract. It's an
1987
01:13:03,208 --> 01:13:05,166
extraction kind of shooter and
1988
01:13:05,625 --> 01:13:07,125
It's unique. It's fun
1989
01:13:07,791 --> 01:13:10,875
But it is definitely different. So yeah,
1990
01:13:10,875 --> 01:13:11,833
I don't need to go much
1991
01:13:11,833 --> 01:13:13,500
further into it. It is
1992
01:13:13,958 --> 01:13:15,125
unique the last thing
1993
01:13:15,125 --> 01:13:16,750
I'll say about any of this is
1994
01:13:17,375 --> 01:13:18,916
We need to go back to
1995
01:13:18,916 --> 01:13:21,208
a time when video games
1996
01:13:21,875 --> 01:13:23,333
Couldn't incorporate
1997
01:13:23,333 --> 01:13:26,250
the lifelike likenesses of
1998
01:13:26,541 --> 01:13:27,958
Celebrities because
1999
01:13:27,958 --> 01:13:29,333
that's when games were more fun
2000
01:13:30,250 --> 01:13:31,541
And that way we can just get
2001
01:13:31,541 --> 01:13:32,416
around this. Yeah, that's you
2002
01:13:32,416 --> 01:13:35,250
Anyway, like ps1 graphics from now or use
2003
01:13:35,250 --> 01:13:36,541
like a beat like use an
2004
01:13:36,541 --> 01:13:38,416
up and comer if you want
2005
01:13:38,416 --> 01:13:40,000
There's a couple up a comers that they'll
2006
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,583
do sometimes do that
2007
01:13:41,708 --> 01:13:44,666
Yeah, video games were better when when
2008
01:13:44,666 --> 01:13:46,500
tails in in sonic adventure
2009
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:47,916
was voiced by an actual child
2010
01:13:47,958 --> 01:13:51,416
Who was not an actor at all?
2011
01:13:53,416 --> 01:13:54,375
Do you remember that?
2012
01:13:55,375 --> 01:13:57,541
Yeah, I
2013
01:13:57,541 --> 01:13:59,208
think that's a good I think that's
2014
01:13:59,208 --> 01:14:02,208
There comes some labor law issues because
2015
01:14:02,208 --> 01:14:05,833
yeah child actors don't end up doing very
2016
01:14:05,833 --> 01:14:08,041
well in life. But yeah, yeah
2017
01:14:09,625 --> 01:14:12,500
No, it's I agree it's all interesting but
2018
01:14:13,083 --> 01:14:15,000
You're interested in what I'm an interest
2019
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:15,875
in this next topic
2020
01:14:15,875 --> 01:14:17,583
though. Oh, yeah, me too
2021
01:14:18,833 --> 01:14:23,166
Game informer is back and they've hired
2022
01:14:23,166 --> 01:14:26,541
the entire team again and
2023
01:14:26,541 --> 01:14:28,875
I I mentioned double fine
2024
01:14:29,416 --> 01:14:32,416
Earlier, and I think if I'm wrong, I
2025
01:14:32,416 --> 01:14:33,541
think I'm right about this
2026
01:14:34,375 --> 01:14:37,208
The guy who founded double fine is one of
2027
01:14:37,208 --> 01:14:39,333
the sponsor like one of the guys behind
2028
01:14:39,333 --> 01:14:41,500
bringing this back. What's his name?
2029
01:14:41,750 --> 01:14:44,791
Oh, I don't remember his name. So I like
2030
01:14:44,791 --> 01:14:46,791
double. No. Yeah, I like I
2031
01:14:46,791 --> 01:14:47,708
like double fine quite a bit
2032
01:14:48,416 --> 01:14:49,125
It's owned by Microsoft
2033
01:14:49,125 --> 01:14:51,125
now though. So poo-poo
2034
01:14:52,375 --> 01:14:52,500
so
2035
01:14:53,250 --> 01:14:55,666
No audio just just going through this.
2036
01:14:55,666 --> 01:14:57,000
They're hiring the entire
2037
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,208
team again is what they said and
2038
01:15:00,208 --> 01:15:01,416
I was sad when game for
2039
01:15:01,416 --> 01:15:02,666
a shutdown because like
2040
01:15:03,250 --> 01:15:05,666
games journalism is really important and
2041
01:15:06,125 --> 01:15:07,166
The fact that they've
2042
01:15:07,166 --> 01:15:07,916
been around for so long
2043
01:15:07,916 --> 01:15:08,833
I mean, I remember reading
2044
01:15:08,833 --> 01:15:10,500
game informer when I was a kid
2045
01:15:10,500 --> 01:15:12,458
I read game informer and PC
2046
01:15:12,458 --> 01:15:15,416
gaming or PC gamer and yep
2047
01:15:15,958 --> 01:15:18,625
Like and then I had like subscriptions
2048
01:15:18,625 --> 01:15:20,708
here and there to like PlayStation
2049
01:15:22,166 --> 01:15:23,750
underground and
2050
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,458
Xbox whatever that
2051
01:15:25,458 --> 01:15:27,375
one was I had maximum PC
2052
01:15:29,125 --> 01:15:31,416
PC gamer which is now just incorporated
2053
01:15:31,416 --> 01:15:34,416
into PC gamer. Mm-hmm and
2054
01:15:34,416 --> 01:15:36,125
Game informer because partially because I
2055
01:15:36,125 --> 01:15:38,625
worked at GameStop. So I'm just I make
2056
01:15:38,625 --> 01:15:39,666
sure I always have a subscription
2057
01:15:39,833 --> 01:15:42,541
Yeah, I mean it's good stuff and I agree
2058
01:15:42,541 --> 01:15:43,541
with you with journalism stuff
2059
01:15:43,625 --> 01:15:45,250
like journalism period in the world is
2060
01:15:45,250 --> 01:15:48,458
dying and you know, it's unfortunate and
2061
01:15:48,458 --> 01:15:51,208
It leads to a lot of bad things now.
2062
01:15:51,208 --> 01:15:52,625
Luckily we're in the this
2063
01:15:52,625 --> 01:15:53,791
is the game industry. So
2064
01:15:54,875 --> 01:15:55,625
it's not as
2065
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,041
It's not as
2066
01:15:58,916 --> 01:16:01,333
Consequential as the real world where
2067
01:16:01,333 --> 01:16:04,166
journalism is dying there, too. Mm-hmm,
2068
01:16:04,166 --> 01:16:06,375
but it still sucks
2069
01:16:06,375 --> 01:16:07,250
because you're gonna get
2070
01:16:08,083 --> 01:16:11,416
Less good takes on the industry on the
2071
01:16:11,416 --> 01:16:13,041
how the industry is going and kind of
2072
01:16:13,041 --> 01:16:14,416
calling out the bullshit of the industry
2073
01:16:15,458 --> 01:16:17,416
This is this is interesting. Have you
2074
01:16:17,416 --> 01:16:20,000
watched this video? I
2075
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:21,833
Have not actually seen the video. I just
2076
01:16:21,833 --> 01:16:23,750
heard and read a little bit on this
2077
01:16:25,041 --> 01:16:27,208
Yeah, so essentially what
2078
01:16:27,208 --> 01:16:28,208
they're talking about here
2079
01:16:28,208 --> 01:16:31,041
I believe is called Godzilla are the the
2080
01:16:31,041 --> 01:16:33,833
company behind bringing this back and Tim
2081
01:16:33,833 --> 01:16:34,708
Schafer. That's his name
2082
01:16:34,750 --> 01:16:36,916
Tim Schafer is part of
2083
01:16:36,916 --> 01:16:38,875
Godzilla. There he is right there. Yep
2084
01:16:38,875 --> 01:16:41,083
Um, and so they're bringing this back and
2085
01:16:41,083 --> 01:16:42,458
it's gonna be an independent
2086
01:16:43,583 --> 01:16:45,958
Entity from Godzilla is not part of it
2087
01:16:45,958 --> 01:16:47,666
and they're going to be doing
2088
01:16:48,250 --> 01:16:50,208
the same kind of like content
2089
01:16:50,208 --> 01:16:53,541
production and the same like
2090
01:16:54,333 --> 01:16:55,833
Articles that they're writing for their
2091
01:16:55,833 --> 01:16:57,875
website, but they're also bringing back
2092
01:16:57,875 --> 01:16:59,416
the print magazine. Oh
2093
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:01,166
Oh
2094
01:17:01,375 --> 01:17:02,083
Yeah
2095
01:17:02,541 --> 01:17:05,250
That's very exciting because I'm gonna
2096
01:17:05,250 --> 01:17:07,041
sign up for this like if I
2097
01:17:07,041 --> 01:17:08,333
have some disposable income
2098
01:17:08,333 --> 01:17:11,125
I think I might just do it just because I
2099
01:17:11,125 --> 01:17:12,250
like physical media.
2100
01:17:12,250 --> 01:17:13,916
I like print magazines
2101
01:17:13,916 --> 01:17:16,041
I think well as long as they're in my
2102
01:17:16,041 --> 01:17:18,916
wheelhouse, you know, and uh, I don't
2103
01:17:18,916 --> 01:17:19,625
know it's pretty it's
2104
01:17:19,625 --> 01:17:21,500
pretty cool to see I
2105
01:17:21,500 --> 01:17:23,125
Was I was bummed when they
2106
01:17:23,125 --> 01:17:24,875
announced they were closing. Yeah
2107
01:17:25,458 --> 01:17:26,708
There's like an end
2108
01:17:26,708 --> 01:17:27,625
to an era kind of thing
2109
01:17:27,625 --> 01:17:29,208
It was the same thing for me with maximum
2110
01:17:29,208 --> 01:17:30,375
PC when they went away.
2111
01:17:30,375 --> 01:17:32,125
I really like maximum PC
2112
01:17:32,125 --> 01:17:34,125
I still have some of the magazines from
2113
01:17:34,125 --> 01:17:36,250
them. Yeah, dude. I would love to work
2114
01:17:36,250 --> 01:17:38,000
for them. Honestly, like
2115
01:17:38,333 --> 01:17:41,041
Game informer. Yeah, man, like I
2116
01:17:41,666 --> 01:17:43,458
Love to write. I don't know if you've
2117
01:17:43,458 --> 01:17:45,583
seen my blog like I just I've been
2118
01:17:45,583 --> 01:17:47,208
blogging the heck out of my
2119
01:17:48,875 --> 01:17:49,625
My heart and soul
2120
01:17:50,250 --> 01:17:53,416
I don't I don't read blogs very much
2121
01:17:53,416 --> 01:17:56,166
these days. Yeah, well listen to things
2122
01:17:56,250 --> 01:17:58,000
You know why I'm such a huge
2123
01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:59,750
enthusiast for the feta verse
2124
01:18:00,541 --> 01:18:03,916
Is because I post something and the
2125
01:18:03,916 --> 01:18:05,500
people who follow me see it
2126
01:18:06,416 --> 01:18:09,541
Yeah, like I post I post my blog articles
2127
01:18:09,541 --> 01:18:12,875
and they get thousands of views
2128
01:18:14,333 --> 01:18:16,708
There you go, like I mean depending on
2129
01:18:16,708 --> 01:18:17,333
what I'm talking about
2130
01:18:17,333 --> 01:18:18,541
some people don't read it
2131
01:18:18,583 --> 01:18:20,916
but like I post my articles over there
2132
01:18:20,916 --> 01:18:22,666
and people like actually click it and
2133
01:18:22,666 --> 01:18:23,708
actually read it and
2134
01:18:23,708 --> 01:18:26,083
then I get comments and
2135
01:18:26,291 --> 01:18:27,375
And that's why I like
2136
01:18:27,375 --> 01:18:28,333
the feta verse so much
2137
01:18:28,333 --> 01:18:31,208
So okay, I post a video on YouTube and
2138
01:18:31,208 --> 01:18:33,541
it's rolling the effing dice man, like
2139
01:18:33,541 --> 01:18:35,333
whether anybody's gonna watch it at all
2140
01:18:35,958 --> 01:18:38,791
Yeah, I'll be honest. I really want a
2141
01:18:38,791 --> 01:18:39,875
competitor to YouTube to
2142
01:18:39,875 --> 01:18:43,291
pop up. Yeah pure tube. I
2143
01:18:43,291 --> 01:18:43,958
Know but it's so
2144
01:18:43,958 --> 01:18:46,000
expensive. It's really not
2145
01:18:46,041 --> 01:18:48,208
I mean it like it it's more expensive
2146
01:18:48,208 --> 01:18:50,458
than not having a peer tube yourself
2147
01:18:51,333 --> 01:18:53,625
But it's really not that bad, especially
2148
01:18:53,625 --> 01:18:54,583
if you can turn on some of
2149
01:18:54,583 --> 01:18:55,666
the bandwidth saving stuff
2150
01:18:55,666 --> 01:18:58,166
It's it's actually pretty great. Oh, I
2151
01:18:58,166 --> 01:18:59,083
need to look into it
2152
01:18:59,083 --> 01:19:01,041
But I just well, I just want to I don't
2153
01:19:01,041 --> 01:19:02,041
know if you want to post
2154
01:19:02,041 --> 01:19:03,166
your videos on my peer tube
2155
01:19:03,166 --> 01:19:05,625
I'll let you how's that? I
2156
01:19:05,625 --> 01:19:07,916
Need to come out of it. I've been very
2157
01:19:07,916 --> 01:19:10,625
yeah behind the scenes on other projects
2158
01:19:10,625 --> 01:19:12,958
lately and I need to get back into it
2159
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:13,708
Yeah
2160
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:16,291
Cuz it's fun. Oh
2161
01:19:16,291 --> 01:19:18,083
Dude, so much fun making videos
2162
01:19:19,416 --> 01:19:21,041
Yeah, dude, I don't know I'm very excited
2163
01:19:21,041 --> 01:19:22,625
about this though like Game Informer
2164
01:19:23,291 --> 01:19:26,083
again, like I think I've kind of like
2165
01:19:26,083 --> 01:19:28,250
played my hand that I don't really like
2166
01:19:28,250 --> 01:19:29,166
the modern game
2167
01:19:29,166 --> 01:19:30,791
industry very much like I'm
2168
01:19:30,791 --> 01:19:32,208
Boring into the retro stuff
2169
01:19:33,041 --> 01:19:34,875
But like it just it makes me happy that
2170
01:19:34,875 --> 01:19:36,291
Game Informer is back and
2171
01:19:36,291 --> 01:19:37,916
they're talking about cool games
2172
01:19:38,750 --> 01:19:39,583
Because there are
2173
01:19:39,583 --> 01:19:40,541
cool games that come out
2174
01:19:41,166 --> 01:19:44,500
recently, you know
2175
01:19:45,041 --> 01:19:45,958
Yeah, no there
2176
01:19:48,375 --> 01:19:51,666
There I think the game industry is just
2177
01:19:51,666 --> 01:19:53,250
morphing and it's getting bigger and
2178
01:19:53,250 --> 01:19:54,416
there's more for everyone
2179
01:19:54,416 --> 01:19:55,416
and I don't know why people
2180
01:19:55,416 --> 01:19:57,583
have an opinion and
2181
01:19:57,583 --> 01:19:59,500
This is not to throw anyone that's
2182
01:19:59,500 --> 01:20:00,833
listening or anyone that's under the bus
2183
01:20:00,833 --> 01:20:01,541
or anything like that
2184
01:20:01,791 --> 01:20:03,333
I just I think people have an opinions on
2185
01:20:03,333 --> 01:20:04,958
games that they really shouldn't have
2186
01:20:04,958 --> 01:20:06,000
opinions on because
2187
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:06,916
they're not their type of games
2188
01:20:06,916 --> 01:20:07,833
It's not like game for you
2189
01:20:08,625 --> 01:20:11,166
so let other people enjoy it now if you
2190
01:20:11,166 --> 01:20:14,166
find a practice that is a
2191
01:20:14,208 --> 01:20:16,458
Nefarious like loot boxes you can you can
2192
01:20:16,458 --> 01:20:17,458
comment on that type of
2193
01:20:17,458 --> 01:20:18,375
stuff like that's fine
2194
01:20:18,375 --> 01:20:21,333
But like I feel like some games people
2195
01:20:21,333 --> 01:20:22,791
just have opinion on like that doesn't
2196
01:20:22,791 --> 01:20:23,666
sound like it's a game for you
2197
01:20:23,666 --> 01:20:24,458
Why do you care?
2198
01:20:25,250 --> 01:20:28,291
Yeah, for me like it doesn't criticism. I
2199
01:20:28,291 --> 01:20:29,291
don't care from
2200
01:20:29,291 --> 01:20:30,541
assessment screens typically
2201
01:20:30,791 --> 01:20:33,958
Yeah, I just so I'll still comment on it
2202
01:20:33,958 --> 01:20:35,583
sometimes but I'm not gonna be like hate
2203
01:20:35,583 --> 01:20:37,000
commenting on everyone's videos
2204
01:20:37,458 --> 01:20:37,958
Right
2205
01:20:38,583 --> 01:20:40,416
Like I'm more than happy to like
2206
01:20:40,875 --> 01:20:42,166
to like
2207
01:20:42,875 --> 01:20:45,833
Throw shade it like epic and stuff, but
2208
01:20:45,833 --> 01:20:47,500
like if you enjoy fortnight, I'm not
2209
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:48,625
gonna crap on you for it
2210
01:20:48,625 --> 01:20:51,416
You know, I don't get it. Yeah, I don't I
2211
01:20:51,416 --> 01:20:52,750
really don't understand
2212
01:20:53,375 --> 01:20:54,875
Like I understand that people like
2213
01:20:54,875 --> 01:20:56,291
playing games online, but I don't
2214
01:20:56,291 --> 01:20:57,041
understand why people
2215
01:20:57,041 --> 01:20:58,041
like playing games online
2216
01:20:58,041 --> 01:21:00,166
I really don't get it, but I'm not gonna
2217
01:21:00,166 --> 01:21:02,333
like make fun of you for for doing that
2218
01:21:02,333 --> 01:21:03,541
You know like that's yeah, no you know
2219
01:21:03,583 --> 01:21:06,041
If you don't like seeing a practice by
2220
01:21:06,041 --> 01:21:08,125
like a game company or and you can make
2221
01:21:08,125 --> 01:21:09,250
you can still make fun of the game
2222
01:21:09,250 --> 01:21:11,666
that's fine, but I think some
2223
01:21:11,666 --> 01:21:13,416
people go a little too far and
2224
01:21:13,875 --> 01:21:15,958
Really make fun of people that play for
2225
01:21:15,958 --> 01:21:18,041
tonight. I'm like why they enjoy it like
2226
01:21:18,041 --> 01:21:19,708
it's just a game man, right?
2227
01:21:20,583 --> 01:21:22,958
I don't get why people watch football at
2228
01:21:22,958 --> 01:21:25,000
all. I don't get it. Yeah
2229
01:21:25,041 --> 01:21:30,083
Oh, see I love football. I don't yeah
2230
01:21:30,750 --> 01:21:33,541
I would much rather watch Starcraft 2 or
2231
01:21:33,541 --> 01:21:35,291
an eSport than I would a sport
2232
01:21:35,291 --> 01:21:38,041
well, I enjoyed basketball back in its
2233
01:21:38,041 --> 01:21:39,208
heyday when I feel like
2234
01:21:39,625 --> 01:21:41,333
My team the Jazz was doing
2235
01:21:41,333 --> 01:21:43,208
okay, but now they're yeah
2236
01:21:43,875 --> 01:21:44,416
so
2237
01:21:45,458 --> 01:21:48,541
Yep, hey person you want you there's an
2238
01:21:48,541 --> 01:21:50,000
actual really cool sport. I think you
2239
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,166
might like it's called
2240
01:21:51,166 --> 01:21:52,375
competitive chase tag
2241
01:21:52,708 --> 01:21:56,166
Have I told you about this? No. Oh dude
2242
01:21:56,625 --> 01:21:57,750
Competitive chase tag.
2243
01:21:57,750 --> 01:22:00,875
There's a there's a small arena
2244
01:22:01,458 --> 01:22:03,875
with like tons of like
2245
01:22:05,291 --> 01:22:07,791
Like obstacles and stuff and
2246
01:22:08,416 --> 01:22:09,875
Two teams compete
2247
01:22:10,416 --> 01:22:13,083
One-on-one one one person versus one
2248
01:22:13,083 --> 01:22:15,458
person to to chase and
2249
01:22:15,458 --> 01:22:16,916
evade the other person right?
2250
01:22:17,041 --> 01:22:19,541
It's super cool. And it's like it's
2251
01:22:19,541 --> 01:22:21,208
there's like some really great rules and
2252
01:22:21,208 --> 01:22:24,375
it's basically like improvised parkour
2253
01:22:24,708 --> 01:22:27,833
Competitive mode. It's awesome. I love it
2254
01:22:29,416 --> 01:22:31,125
Anyway, well
2255
01:22:31,125 --> 01:22:34,625
Yeah, no, it's
2256
01:22:34,625 --> 01:22:35,166
huh
2257
01:22:36,333 --> 01:22:38,791
See the thing is I would play that I'm
2258
01:22:38,791 --> 01:22:39,583
much more into playing
2259
01:22:39,583 --> 01:22:40,833
sports than I am to watching
2260
01:22:40,833 --> 01:22:43,166
I don't like watching sports period. Yeah
2261
01:22:43,833 --> 01:22:44,166
Um
2262
01:22:45,416 --> 01:22:46,416
For the most part cuz
2263
01:22:46,416 --> 01:22:47,250
I just rather play him
2264
01:22:47,250 --> 01:22:48,791
I play I don't play him as much nowadays,
2265
01:22:48,791 --> 01:22:49,916
but I'd just rather play him
2266
01:22:50,291 --> 01:22:52,041
I also skateboarded a lot growing up too
2267
01:22:52,041 --> 01:22:53,416
and that's also my kind
2268
01:22:53,416 --> 01:22:56,083
of gem more. Okay weekend
2269
01:22:58,041 --> 01:23:00,833
Game of former being back is amazing. I
2270
01:23:00,833 --> 01:23:01,916
think is good. I think we
2271
01:23:01,916 --> 01:23:03,041
need more game journalism
2272
01:23:03,208 --> 01:23:05,541
That isn't just like I G and
2273
01:23:05,541 --> 01:23:07,291
PC gamer and a couple other ones
2274
01:23:07,333 --> 01:23:07,833
Yeah
2275
01:23:07,875 --> 01:23:10,791
And then being print is all I'm really
2276
01:23:10,791 --> 01:23:12,250
curious how much it's gonna cost because
2277
01:23:12,250 --> 01:23:15,083
I also am curious to pick one up
2278
01:23:15,291 --> 01:23:18,416
Yeah, a subscription just because it
2279
01:23:18,416 --> 01:23:18,833
sounds like they're
2280
01:23:18,833 --> 01:23:19,583
gonna be more independent
2281
01:23:19,666 --> 01:23:21,625
They're gonna be they've cut ties with
2282
01:23:21,625 --> 01:23:24,791
GameStop and if they are more independent
2283
01:23:24,791 --> 01:23:26,708
and can do really what they want
2284
01:23:26,708 --> 01:23:29,375
I am down for that. Yes, I agree
2285
01:23:30,416 --> 01:23:32,666
Japanese gaming is back on the rise
2286
01:23:33,333 --> 01:23:35,000
This is a high another high-tech
2287
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,041
submitted story five out of eight major
2288
01:23:38,041 --> 01:23:40,375
companies reported record profits
2289
01:23:40,833 --> 01:23:43,208
In 2024 looks like or maybe
2290
01:23:43,208 --> 01:23:44,916
this quarter. I don't know
2291
01:23:45,791 --> 01:23:48,000
Five out of eight of japan's major
2292
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,041
publicly traded triple-a gaming companies
2293
01:23:50,041 --> 01:23:52,083
have seen share prices reach all-time
2294
01:23:52,083 --> 01:23:53,625
highs in the past two months
2295
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,208
People are divesting from the united
2296
01:23:58,208 --> 01:24:01,333
states. Yeah, it's really it's probably
2297
01:24:01,333 --> 01:24:02,500
partially what it is
2298
01:24:02,916 --> 01:24:03,291
Yeah
2299
01:24:04,375 --> 01:24:04,708
interesting
2300
01:24:05,708 --> 01:24:08,750
Sony nintendo kunami capcom and bandai
2301
01:24:08,750 --> 01:24:10,583
namco are the are the
2302
01:24:10,583 --> 01:24:11,833
major companies here
2303
01:24:12,791 --> 01:24:13,041
so
2304
01:24:14,666 --> 01:24:15,458
That's
2305
01:24:15,791 --> 01:24:17,833
Interesting because kunami like what have
2306
01:24:17,833 --> 01:24:19,083
they been coming out with that would
2307
01:24:19,083 --> 01:24:20,291
warrant such a bump.
2308
01:24:20,291 --> 01:24:22,750
I know capcom pachinko
2309
01:24:23,541 --> 01:24:26,000
Okay, there's that that's true capcom
2310
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,083
Whether I know some people are are kind
2311
01:24:30,083 --> 01:24:31,416
of frustrated with them, but like they
2312
01:24:31,416 --> 01:24:32,958
have some pretty interesting
2313
01:24:33,541 --> 01:24:35,166
IPs yeah
2314
01:24:36,208 --> 01:24:36,416
but
2315
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,666
Yeah, no, this is I think this is good
2316
01:24:39,666 --> 01:24:42,416
for I think they deserve it because I
2317
01:24:42,416 --> 01:24:43,125
think a lot of their
2318
01:24:43,458 --> 01:24:47,083
like especially like I
2319
01:24:47,083 --> 01:24:49,333
Think capcon sony those are like I really
2320
01:24:49,333 --> 01:24:50,833
like a lot of stuff they come
2321
01:24:50,833 --> 01:24:51,625
out with I think they've been
2322
01:24:52,583 --> 01:24:56,333
Doing better and and I think the japanese
2323
01:24:56,333 --> 01:24:57,875
triple-a market is
2324
01:24:57,875 --> 01:24:59,833
releasing better games these days
2325
01:25:00,500 --> 01:25:02,166
Um, but they also
2326
01:25:02,166 --> 01:25:04,958
release a lot of games. So yeah
2327
01:25:05,875 --> 01:25:07,625
Uh sega's not on this
2328
01:25:07,625 --> 01:25:09,166
list is sega publicly traded
2329
01:25:10,125 --> 01:25:10,583
um
2330
01:25:11,083 --> 01:25:11,708
I think
2331
01:25:13,125 --> 01:25:14,875
I don't know. I think they might be
2332
01:25:14,875 --> 01:25:17,666
Held by a different company now. I don't
2333
01:25:17,666 --> 01:25:18,916
know if they're they they
2334
01:25:18,916 --> 01:25:20,041
themselves are publicly traded
2335
01:25:22,416 --> 01:25:23,666
I'm gonna google it
2336
01:25:24,416 --> 01:25:25,666
But I i've lost track of
2337
01:25:25,666 --> 01:25:27,500
like who owns sega these days
2338
01:25:27,791 --> 01:25:29,333
sega sammy holdings
2339
01:25:30,291 --> 01:25:31,583
Oh, okay
2340
01:25:32,208 --> 01:25:33,708
interesting it was a merger in
2341
01:25:34,250 --> 01:25:37,041
2004 I guess all right
2342
01:25:38,833 --> 01:25:40,958
Okay, well there you go what I know
2343
01:25:41,375 --> 01:25:41,875
um
2344
01:25:42,666 --> 01:25:44,416
Cool. I mean this is this is pretty neat.
2345
01:25:44,416 --> 01:25:46,708
They they've got some uh
2346
01:25:48,208 --> 01:25:49,333
What is this kunami had
2347
01:25:49,333 --> 01:25:50,791
silent hill two driving silence
2348
01:25:51,541 --> 01:25:54,875
Which yeah, I mean, yeah, that does help.
2349
01:25:54,875 --> 01:25:57,291
Silent hill two was a uh a banger and I
2350
01:25:57,291 --> 01:25:57,916
haven't played it yet
2351
01:25:57,916 --> 01:25:59,125
But it does look good
2352
01:25:59,916 --> 01:26:02,500
Yeah, kunami had monster hunter wild
2353
01:26:04,041 --> 01:26:04,708
Um
2354
01:26:06,208 --> 01:26:06,833
Let's see
2355
01:26:09,625 --> 01:26:12,583
Yeah, yeah, I mean this is neat it's good
2356
01:26:12,583 --> 01:26:14,500
to see uh, you know in a in a
2357
01:26:15,625 --> 01:26:17,833
Era at least in the west where lots of
2358
01:26:17,833 --> 01:26:19,791
studios are closing and there's huge like
2359
01:26:19,791 --> 01:26:21,250
massive layoffs and stuff
2360
01:26:22,208 --> 01:26:23,708
It's good to see that the games industry
2361
01:26:23,708 --> 01:26:25,333
in japan is still going strong
2362
01:26:26,291 --> 01:26:27,875
And I I hope they're treating their
2363
01:26:27,875 --> 01:26:29,208
workers. Well, because sometimes it's a
2364
01:26:29,208 --> 01:26:32,791
mixed bag with that but right silksong
2365
01:26:33,416 --> 01:26:35,083
This is this is another high tech
2366
01:26:35,416 --> 01:26:38,041
Uh one of his special interests. I
2367
01:26:38,041 --> 01:26:39,916
actually really love holla night. It was
2368
01:26:39,916 --> 01:26:41,375
really fun. I'm a metroidvania
2369
01:26:42,041 --> 01:26:42,333
fan
2370
01:26:43,375 --> 01:26:44,916
And uh, apparently they
2371
01:26:44,916 --> 01:26:48,416
changed their copyright from 2019
2372
01:26:49,416 --> 01:26:50,625
to 2025
2373
01:26:51,458 --> 01:26:51,958
uh
2374
01:26:53,458 --> 01:26:55,500
And this is this is a huge deal because
2375
01:26:55,500 --> 01:26:56,875
people have been talking about how
2376
01:26:56,875 --> 01:26:57,750
silksong is never going to
2377
01:26:57,750 --> 01:26:58,958
come out and blah blah blah
2378
01:26:59,458 --> 01:26:59,625
so
2379
01:27:00,416 --> 01:27:02,291
This is this is a neat little update
2380
01:27:03,333 --> 01:27:05,958
It's like half-life three, you know, it's
2381
01:27:05,958 --> 01:27:07,333
a meme. No, no, it's
2382
01:27:07,333 --> 01:27:09,291
not. No, it's not not for us
2383
01:27:09,541 --> 01:27:11,375
But for no, I know
2384
01:27:11,375 --> 01:27:13,083
high tech for some folks
2385
01:27:13,875 --> 01:27:15,958
and and susie like uh
2386
01:27:16,375 --> 01:27:17,708
She my wife really
2387
01:27:17,708 --> 01:27:19,416
likes holla night. Yeah
2388
01:27:20,416 --> 01:27:22,625
It's really hard game, but she really she
2389
01:27:22,625 --> 01:27:24,541
would I think be really excited for
2390
01:27:24,541 --> 01:27:26,166
something like this. So yeah
2391
01:27:26,208 --> 01:27:27,333
I have a little grub
2392
01:27:27,333 --> 01:27:28,875
plushie from holla night
2393
01:27:30,208 --> 01:27:31,125
There you go. Do you
2394
01:27:31,125 --> 01:27:32,500
remember the the indie box?
2395
01:27:34,750 --> 01:27:36,416
It was like a they would ship you like
2396
01:27:36,416 --> 01:27:38,125
indie games on a little usb
2397
01:27:39,083 --> 01:27:39,375
stick
2398
01:27:40,250 --> 01:27:41,375
And it would come in a
2399
01:27:41,375 --> 01:27:42,833
box like a custom box
2400
01:27:43,541 --> 01:27:45,250
And uh, the one sounds
2401
01:27:45,250 --> 01:27:46,833
cool. It was it was neat
2402
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,333
It was really cool and I had I
2403
01:27:49,333 --> 01:27:50,625
ordered a whole bunch of them
2404
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,916
So I have like limited edition runs of a
2405
01:27:52,916 --> 01:27:54,583
bunch of indie games in physical
2406
01:27:55,250 --> 01:27:57,750
Boxes that is why I really like that
2407
01:27:57,750 --> 01:28:01,250
concept. Yeah, some of them came with um
2408
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:04,458
Like limited run plushies or
2409
01:28:04,458 --> 01:28:06,083
other felis to go along with it
2410
01:28:06,750 --> 01:28:09,458
Uh, I have a super meat boy one. Um, but
2411
01:28:09,458 --> 01:28:10,333
the one that I that I was
2412
01:28:10,333 --> 01:28:12,708
most impressed with was uh,
2413
01:28:13,208 --> 01:28:16,041
Uh holla night. It was really nice
2414
01:28:17,541 --> 01:28:18,458
Nothing to do with this
2415
01:28:18,458 --> 01:28:20,833
but dead space had their uh,
2416
01:28:21,083 --> 01:28:23,083
So the the ea had a big sell on dead
2417
01:28:23,083 --> 01:28:24,833
space merge and I love dead space. So I
2418
01:28:24,833 --> 01:28:26,208
got like a dead space skateboard
2419
01:28:26,666 --> 01:28:27,625
Hell yeah, dude
2420
01:28:28,208 --> 01:28:28,833
That's awesome
2421
01:28:29,541 --> 01:28:31,125
I also I got a couple
2422
01:28:31,125 --> 01:28:32,666
other things but we don't
2423
01:28:33,541 --> 01:28:35,583
Good I I like collecting stuff. What's
2424
01:28:35,583 --> 01:28:39,083
that? This is from um axiom verge
2425
01:28:39,250 --> 01:28:41,791
It's very dusty, but this came in one in
2426
01:28:41,791 --> 01:28:44,208
my axiom verge limited edition box
2427
01:28:44,750 --> 01:28:45,916
Oh, and it's like this
2428
01:28:45,916 --> 01:28:47,875
really beautifully sculpted. Yeah
2429
01:28:48,041 --> 01:28:50,750
Uh thing it's really cool. That's the
2430
01:28:51,375 --> 01:28:53,416
I love collector's items that they do in
2431
01:28:53,416 --> 01:28:54,666
these things that uh
2432
01:28:54,833 --> 01:28:56,875
Like when a game releases or
2433
01:28:56,875 --> 01:28:57,916
even if it's on a merch store
2434
01:28:57,916 --> 01:28:58,958
Like if you make it
2435
01:28:58,958 --> 01:29:00,583
premium enough go for it
2436
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,041
I don't like it when they do
2437
01:29:02,041 --> 01:29:03,916
it as a cash grab where you get
2438
01:29:04,166 --> 01:29:06,041
Not like the what was it? Was it a
2439
01:29:06,041 --> 01:29:08,166
fallout one where they got like a burlap
2440
01:29:08,166 --> 01:29:09,583
sack or something like that?
2441
01:29:09,583 --> 01:29:10,250
It wasn't much
2442
01:29:10,750 --> 01:29:13,041
It was like shittier than I think someone
2443
01:29:13,041 --> 01:29:15,000
had a moldy one and everything. Yeah
2444
01:29:15,708 --> 01:29:17,833
Oh, dude, like yeah the the cash grab
2445
01:29:17,833 --> 01:29:19,375
bullshit. I hate but like
2446
01:29:20,208 --> 01:29:21,291
Indie box was cool
2447
01:29:21,416 --> 01:29:23,125
Like they stopped doing it because nobody
2448
01:29:23,125 --> 01:29:24,333
like what they would do
2449
01:29:24,333 --> 01:29:25,458
is they would do like a big
2450
01:29:25,708 --> 01:29:27,666
Indie game that everybody wanted and then
2451
01:29:27,666 --> 01:29:29,291
they would do like a indie
2452
01:29:29,291 --> 01:29:30,375
game that nobody had heard of
2453
01:29:30,833 --> 01:29:32,958
And then and they people would be like
2454
01:29:32,958 --> 01:29:34,250
what what is this game?
2455
01:29:34,250 --> 01:29:35,375
We don't want that and nobody
2456
01:29:35,375 --> 01:29:36,916
would order the the next one
2457
01:29:37,166 --> 01:29:38,666
so then they'd go back to doing a big
2458
01:29:38,666 --> 01:29:39,541
game and then they'd come
2459
01:29:39,541 --> 01:29:41,291
out with a small one and
2460
01:29:41,541 --> 01:29:42,458
The way they were doing
2461
01:29:42,458 --> 01:29:43,541
it didn't seem sustainable
2462
01:29:43,875 --> 01:29:44,208
Yeah
2463
01:29:44,208 --> 01:29:46,083
But it sounds like you need to do all the
2464
01:29:46,083 --> 01:29:47,625
big ones and then once
2465
01:29:47,625 --> 01:29:49,916
A small one gets big enough or you do
2466
01:29:49,916 --> 01:29:51,791
like little micro ones of it and then you
2467
01:29:51,791 --> 01:29:53,541
can promote it as a you know
2468
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:55,666
Yeah, unfortunately, that's just kind of
2469
01:29:55,666 --> 01:29:57,166
how the industry is. That's how
2470
01:29:57,166 --> 01:29:58,750
capitalism kind of works. You can yeah
2471
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,083
I
2472
01:30:00,625 --> 01:30:01,333
Have too many flops, but
2473
01:30:01,333 --> 01:30:02,375
no, this is good. This is good
2474
01:30:02,500 --> 01:30:04,000
I mean, there's not a whole lot more we
2475
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:05,791
can talk about it because it's just a
2476
01:30:05,791 --> 01:30:07,541
date change, but it's literally
2477
01:30:08,291 --> 01:30:10,291
Just a diff right here
2478
01:30:10,583 --> 01:30:13,500
But it's a we've had a couple of long
2479
01:30:13,500 --> 01:30:14,625
conversations about just
2480
01:30:14,625 --> 01:30:16,666
diffs on this podcast. So
2481
01:30:16,666 --> 01:30:20,083
This very promising look for
2482
01:30:20,083 --> 01:30:21,458
uh people of the hollow night
2483
01:30:22,208 --> 01:30:24,208
Yes, I am happy. I I love
2484
01:30:24,208 --> 01:30:25,500
hollow night. It was a good game
2485
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:26,375
um
2486
01:30:27,291 --> 01:30:29,708
HP doesn't want windows on uh
2487
01:30:30,250 --> 01:30:31,416
on their steam deck competitors
2488
01:30:32,666 --> 01:30:34,166
Have you did you hear about this? I
2489
01:30:34,166 --> 01:30:36,416
talked about this on my um on my
2490
01:30:37,416 --> 01:30:39,000
show this week, uh
2491
01:30:39,625 --> 01:30:41,916
so according to uh
2492
01:30:42,333 --> 01:30:44,125
Gaming on linux. I saw them reporting on
2493
01:30:44,125 --> 01:30:45,708
this. Uh, apparently
2494
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,541
the uh one of the product managers
2495
01:30:51,083 --> 01:30:55,083
Josephine tan at hp was on xda developers
2496
01:30:56,208 --> 01:30:57,125
and um
2497
01:30:59,333 --> 01:31:02,541
Josephine was complaining about how bad
2498
01:31:02,541 --> 01:31:05,291
of an experience windows is on handheld
2499
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:06,958
and
2500
01:31:07,708 --> 01:31:10,166
Josephine was basically saying hey like
2501
01:31:10,166 --> 01:31:12,916
we'd love to do a handheld at hp
2502
01:31:13,708 --> 01:31:15,250
and uh
2503
01:31:16,333 --> 01:31:18,291
We but it's not going to have windows on
2504
01:31:18,291 --> 01:31:19,833
it if we did because I
2505
01:31:19,833 --> 01:31:20,666
don't know what to do with
2506
01:31:20,666 --> 01:31:23,833
If I don't like it, I don't know how to
2507
01:31:23,833 --> 01:31:25,791
do a product for it and that's she's
2508
01:31:25,791 --> 01:31:27,000
talking about windows there
2509
01:31:28,416 --> 01:31:30,250
Well, there's also that and they don't
2510
01:31:30,250 --> 01:31:33,750
have uh, I don't think that hp has a uh a
2511
01:31:33,750 --> 01:31:36,000
game client like the
2512
01:31:36,916 --> 01:31:37,625
um
2513
01:31:38,250 --> 01:31:39,833
Asus armory
2514
01:31:40,208 --> 01:31:42,458
So the aceus's armory system is like
2515
01:31:42,458 --> 01:31:43,541
really decent but they've
2516
01:31:43,541 --> 01:31:44,625
been working on it for years
2517
01:31:45,333 --> 01:31:46,958
I don't think hp has anything like that.
2518
01:31:46,958 --> 01:31:49,375
And so without armory and
2519
01:31:49,375 --> 01:31:50,291
if I was on windows like
2520
01:31:52,083 --> 01:31:53,875
Fuck that like i'm not using
2521
01:31:54,291 --> 01:31:56,375
Windows on a handheld without some type
2522
01:31:56,375 --> 01:31:57,375
of additional software
2523
01:31:57,375 --> 01:31:59,875
so I can see why like
2524
01:32:00,666 --> 01:32:00,791
all
2525
01:32:02,208 --> 01:32:05,208
H I don't want to hp handheld though. I
2526
01:32:05,208 --> 01:32:07,375
don't want to hp computer period
2527
01:32:07,541 --> 01:32:09,916
Well, okay. I there were I talked about
2528
01:32:09,916 --> 01:32:11,166
this on my on my news
2529
01:32:11,166 --> 01:32:12,541
video last uh yesterday
2530
01:32:12,833 --> 01:32:15,000
And there was a bunch of people who said
2531
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:15,875
basically the same thing
2532
01:32:15,875 --> 01:32:17,250
like I don't the hp sucks
2533
01:32:17,250 --> 01:32:17,833
and I don't want
2534
01:32:17,833 --> 01:32:19,125
anything to do with them, but
2535
01:32:20,125 --> 01:32:22,250
When hp launches a product with window
2536
01:32:22,250 --> 01:32:23,333
with linux on it.
2537
01:32:23,333 --> 01:32:24,875
It's actually pretty good
2538
01:32:25,291 --> 01:32:28,833
Like okay, uh, I have the hp dev one
2539
01:32:29,458 --> 01:32:31,916
Um, they sent it to me to review it and
2540
01:32:31,916 --> 01:32:34,250
it's it's a linux laptop first. It
2541
01:32:34,250 --> 01:32:37,041
shipped with dude. It shipped with pop os
2542
01:32:37,708 --> 01:32:38,833
With it with pop. Okay
2543
01:32:39,541 --> 01:32:41,666
And I was like interesting for this i'm
2544
01:32:41,666 --> 01:32:44,000
here interesting choice. They worked with
2545
01:32:44,291 --> 01:32:46,666
Uh system 76 to be able to
2546
01:32:46,666 --> 01:32:48,125
distribute firmware updates
2547
01:32:48,666 --> 01:32:50,125
Through the built-in
2548
01:32:50,125 --> 01:32:51,583
pop os firmware updater
2549
01:32:53,458 --> 01:32:55,708
When they do linux they do it, right?
2550
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:56,250
so
2551
01:32:56,666 --> 01:32:58,916
Uh, I know that they when they ship like
2552
01:32:58,916 --> 01:33:00,250
windows handhelds, they ship
2553
01:33:00,250 --> 01:33:01,708
it full of bloat and garbage
2554
01:33:02,041 --> 01:33:04,541
But like it's a business oriented. Yeah.
2555
01:33:04,541 --> 01:33:06,666
Yeah full business oriented
2556
01:33:07,333 --> 01:33:10,958
Right, but they but the people at hp who
2557
01:33:10,958 --> 01:33:12,291
give a shit about linux
2558
01:33:13,250 --> 01:33:14,083
Know how to make a
2559
01:33:14,083 --> 01:33:15,375
product with linux on it
2560
01:33:16,250 --> 01:33:16,958
And that's pretty cool
2561
01:33:17,625 --> 01:33:19,708
I say I don't want to hp handheld
2562
01:33:19,791 --> 01:33:21,916
But i'm always with any of these
2563
01:33:21,916 --> 01:33:23,416
companies always willing to be proven
2564
01:33:23,416 --> 01:33:25,166
wrong or be um surprised
2565
01:33:25,250 --> 01:33:27,958
I if they drop one and it's amazing sure
2566
01:33:27,958 --> 01:33:29,958
i'm i'm not gonna not get
2567
01:33:29,958 --> 01:33:31,750
it because it has hp on it
2568
01:33:32,041 --> 01:33:33,208
right, uh per se
2569
01:33:33,625 --> 01:33:34,833
uh, it's just
2570
01:33:35,708 --> 01:33:38,125
Yeah, I mean I want more I want more
2571
01:33:38,125 --> 01:33:38,958
competitors, but the
2572
01:33:38,958 --> 01:33:40,250
market's already kind of saturated
2573
01:33:40,250 --> 01:33:41,583
So i'm really curious to see
2574
01:33:41,583 --> 01:33:42,333
what they're gonna do with this
2575
01:33:42,833 --> 01:33:44,500
Well, here's the deal. This is the thing
2576
01:33:44,500 --> 01:33:45,416
that I don't quite
2577
01:33:45,416 --> 01:33:48,333
understand like what valves play is
2578
01:33:48,833 --> 01:33:49,833
um, yeah
2579
01:33:50,541 --> 01:33:51,916
like I mean valve makes
2580
01:33:54,125 --> 01:33:55,625
Like for example if hp
2581
01:33:55,625 --> 01:33:58,208
shipped a steam os powered handheld
2582
01:33:59,375 --> 01:34:00,750
Valve would make money off
2583
01:34:00,750 --> 01:34:03,625
of every sale of games off
2584
01:34:04,125 --> 01:34:05,500
other that system, right
2585
01:34:06,458 --> 01:34:08,208
um, so that's valves play
2586
01:34:09,166 --> 01:34:11,416
But I just don't see how
2587
01:34:11,416 --> 01:34:13,875
having a hyper saturated market
2588
01:34:14,583 --> 01:34:15,750
like a critically
2589
01:34:15,750 --> 01:34:17,791
saturated market makes sense
2590
01:34:18,208 --> 01:34:19,500
For handhelds like I
2591
01:34:19,500 --> 01:34:22,083
just valve does it the best
2592
01:34:23,291 --> 01:34:23,666
uh
2593
01:34:24,291 --> 01:34:26,916
and and honestly, I feel like the way
2594
01:34:26,916 --> 01:34:30,125
microsoft is going to enter the handheld
2595
01:34:30,125 --> 01:34:32,625
space is going to try to
2596
01:34:33,541 --> 01:34:35,708
Be so loud and bombastic
2597
01:34:35,708 --> 01:34:37,125
and oversaturate everything
2598
01:34:38,125 --> 01:34:40,541
That it's just going to drown out like
2599
01:34:40,541 --> 01:34:42,291
the quality stuff. Yeah,
2600
01:34:42,291 --> 01:34:44,291
like microsoft. Did I not say
2601
01:34:45,083 --> 01:34:46,916
Sorry, I was thinking mintell for some
2602
01:34:46,916 --> 01:34:49,000
reason. Okay. Oh, sorry. Yeah. No, no,
2603
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:49,875
you said you said it
2604
01:34:49,875 --> 01:34:51,333
right. I was just like
2605
01:34:51,541 --> 01:34:53,083
I zoned
2606
01:34:53,083 --> 01:34:53,500
um
2607
01:34:54,666 --> 01:34:56,166
Sorry continue. What's your thought?
2608
01:34:56,750 --> 01:34:58,666
I mean, I don't I don't
2609
01:34:58,666 --> 01:34:59,541
remember exactly where I was going
2610
01:34:59,541 --> 01:35:01,500
but I just it like microsoft has always
2611
01:35:01,500 --> 01:35:03,458
had the strategy of like be
2612
01:35:03,458 --> 01:35:05,916
loud and be the only option and
2613
01:35:06,416 --> 01:35:06,875
um
2614
01:35:08,750 --> 01:35:11,750
And and right now it it is it's one of
2615
01:35:11,750 --> 01:35:12,541
the only options
2616
01:35:12,541 --> 01:35:14,083
except for the steam deck
2617
01:35:15,541 --> 01:35:16,250
You know
2618
01:35:16,250 --> 01:35:17,750
I don't know go ahead
2619
01:35:17,750 --> 01:35:20,125
My opinion with this whole thing is I
2620
01:35:20,125 --> 01:35:21,416
want competitors, but I want competitors
2621
01:35:21,416 --> 01:35:23,250
to think things through I want uniqueness
2622
01:35:23,708 --> 01:35:26,166
Yeah, the legion go while I didn't
2623
01:35:26,166 --> 01:35:28,291
approve like when I did my review of that
2624
01:35:28,291 --> 01:35:30,583
i'm like, not really for me because
2625
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:31,250
windows
2626
01:35:32,208 --> 01:35:34,125
Because of windows like and their
2627
01:35:34,125 --> 01:35:36,458
software for windows sucked. Yes
2628
01:35:37,416 --> 01:35:37,708
but
2629
01:35:39,250 --> 01:35:41,291
I really like the device itself. I like
2630
01:35:41,291 --> 01:35:41,875
that. I had a bigger
2631
01:35:41,875 --> 01:35:42,958
screen. It was unique
2632
01:35:43,958 --> 01:35:46,375
Give us unique options that people want
2633
01:35:47,333 --> 01:35:49,125
And you'll do a little better and you'll
2634
01:35:49,125 --> 01:35:50,208
have a niche of the market
2635
01:35:50,666 --> 01:35:51,000
but
2636
01:35:51,541 --> 01:35:54,166
Like with the ally they came out first
2637
01:35:54,166 --> 01:35:55,958
and they kind of own the market of an
2638
01:35:55,958 --> 01:35:57,041
alternative to the steam
2639
01:35:57,041 --> 01:35:58,500
deck of a similar form factor
2640
01:35:59,416 --> 01:36:00,833
But for windows and it's
2641
01:36:00,833 --> 01:36:01,541
a little bit more powerful
2642
01:36:01,541 --> 01:36:03,458
They kind of own that now and other I
2643
01:36:03,458 --> 01:36:05,083
think other handhelds that have come out
2644
01:36:05,083 --> 01:36:05,875
that kind of compete with
2645
01:36:05,875 --> 01:36:06,708
that haven't done as well
2646
01:36:06,708 --> 01:36:08,083
just because
2647
01:36:08,958 --> 01:36:09,291
Asus
2648
01:36:10,125 --> 01:36:11,083
Got into the market much
2649
01:36:11,083 --> 01:36:12,375
quicker these other companies
2650
01:36:12,375 --> 01:36:14,125
I don't know what they were thinking or
2651
01:36:14,125 --> 01:36:15,041
what they were doing and why
2652
01:36:15,041 --> 01:36:16,625
they decided to come in so late
2653
01:36:16,625 --> 01:36:19,833
but a lot of these companies came in like
2654
01:36:20,458 --> 01:36:22,708
Years later than they needed to be like a
2655
01:36:22,708 --> 01:36:24,000
year or two later. And so
2656
01:36:24,916 --> 01:36:26,125
HP thinking about entering
2657
01:36:26,125 --> 01:36:27,958
it now is kind of a bizarre
2658
01:36:28,666 --> 01:36:29,916
Time, but if they do
2659
01:36:29,916 --> 01:36:31,708
it, right i'm down for it
2660
01:36:32,458 --> 01:36:32,708
but
2661
01:36:34,125 --> 01:36:35,833
If it's going to be similar to like if
2662
01:36:35,833 --> 01:36:36,666
it's going to run steamo lessons
2663
01:36:36,666 --> 01:36:37,625
It's going to be similar to the steam
2664
01:36:37,625 --> 01:36:39,416
deck. Why not just get the steam deck?
2665
01:36:40,208 --> 01:36:41,875
Unless it's that much more powerful
2666
01:36:42,916 --> 01:36:44,541
That's interesting. I the thing
2667
01:36:45,333 --> 01:36:47,333
Yeah, I think the point I was trying to
2668
01:36:47,333 --> 01:36:48,916
articulate and failed before
2669
01:36:48,916 --> 01:36:52,458
What you just said kind of informs this
2670
01:36:56,583 --> 01:36:57,666
Is How do I put this valve
2671
01:36:58,916 --> 01:37:00,666
selling the the
2672
01:37:00,916 --> 01:37:01,500
steam deck
2673
01:37:02,208 --> 01:37:04,125
Uh at a subsidized cost
2674
01:37:04,750 --> 01:37:06,375
They can recoup that right
2675
01:37:06,375 --> 01:37:08,125
by selling games on steam
2676
01:37:09,166 --> 01:37:10,416
I don't understand
2677
01:37:11,416 --> 01:37:13,125
how any company
2678
01:37:13,791 --> 01:37:15,708
Aside from valve or
2679
01:37:15,708 --> 01:37:18,125
microsoft can make money
2680
01:37:18,583 --> 01:37:19,041
selling
2681
01:37:19,875 --> 01:37:20,791
more, uh
2682
01:37:21,333 --> 01:37:24,375
handhelds because the cost you have to be
2683
01:37:24,375 --> 01:37:26,166
cost competitive with
2684
01:37:27,250 --> 01:37:29,916
What is currently one subsidized device?
2685
01:37:30,583 --> 01:37:30,916
or
2686
01:37:31,333 --> 01:37:33,750
Cost competitive with two when the x when
2687
01:37:33,750 --> 01:37:34,750
the microsoft xbox
2688
01:37:34,750 --> 01:37:36,041
handheld whatever comes out
2689
01:37:36,625 --> 01:37:39,041
And I just like and then and so you're
2690
01:37:39,041 --> 01:37:41,375
gonna have to cut costs somewhere to make
2691
01:37:41,375 --> 01:37:42,833
a cost competitive device
2692
01:37:43,416 --> 01:37:45,708
That's but then I just don't I just don't
2693
01:37:45,708 --> 01:37:46,916
get it. Like so there's two there's
2694
01:37:47,541 --> 01:37:49,083
There's kind of two things going on here
2695
01:37:49,083 --> 01:37:50,916
one. I think valve is
2696
01:37:50,916 --> 01:37:52,500
either lying or being
2697
01:37:53,208 --> 01:37:55,333
Untruthful, which I get the same thing. I
2698
01:37:55,333 --> 01:37:56,833
don't think they're losing money. I don't
2699
01:37:56,833 --> 01:37:57,833
think they've ever lost money
2700
01:37:58,291 --> 01:37:59,875
But business people will throw this out.
2701
01:37:59,875 --> 01:38:01,291
Like if you're not making enough margin
2702
01:38:01,541 --> 01:38:02,916
They will pretty much say they're losing
2703
01:38:02,916 --> 01:38:04,958
money because it's not really worth it
2704
01:38:05,375 --> 01:38:07,208
I think I just don't think like
2705
01:38:07,208 --> 01:38:09,291
especially now after a few years. I don't
2706
01:38:09,291 --> 01:38:10,333
think even though they've said it
2707
01:38:10,333 --> 01:38:11,416
I don't believe them.
2708
01:38:11,416 --> 01:38:13,291
Okay. Uh, yeah, I'm I
2709
01:38:14,041 --> 01:38:16,250
I'm not saying you're
2710
01:38:16,250 --> 01:38:17,291
lying either. No, no, no
2711
01:38:17,875 --> 01:38:19,916
This is my whole thought process when I
2712
01:38:19,916 --> 01:38:21,083
say subsidized device
2713
01:38:21,708 --> 01:38:24,333
They're like I think like the low-end
2714
01:38:24,333 --> 01:38:27,416
steam device, especially the original lcd
2715
01:38:27,416 --> 01:38:29,541
model. That was 64 gigabytes
2716
01:38:30,208 --> 01:38:32,166
That was there so that they could have
2717
01:38:32,750 --> 01:38:35,416
The the loss leader to get people to go
2718
01:38:35,416 --> 01:38:36,583
that looks like a great deal
2719
01:38:36,750 --> 01:38:38,416
But that's an even better deal and they
2720
01:38:38,416 --> 01:38:39,875
go up to the next one, right?
2721
01:38:40,208 --> 01:38:42,416
So I think they were definitely losing
2722
01:38:42,416 --> 01:38:43,625
money selling the 64
2723
01:38:43,625 --> 01:38:45,166
gigabyte version because
2724
01:38:45,875 --> 01:38:47,958
Like I just think that that was like to
2725
01:38:47,958 --> 01:38:48,750
get people in the door
2726
01:38:49,250 --> 01:38:51,166
So I mean I priced it out
2727
01:38:51,791 --> 01:38:53,750
Back when it first came out. I did a um a
2728
01:38:53,750 --> 01:38:55,041
stream and I priced it out and
2729
01:38:55,041 --> 01:38:56,541
and looked at parts and stuff
2730
01:38:56,541 --> 01:38:58,375
and now i'm not an expert in this but
2731
01:38:59,458 --> 01:39:00,791
I still don't think that was a loss
2732
01:39:00,791 --> 01:39:02,458
leader even though they said it was like
2733
01:39:02,458 --> 01:39:03,500
I said, I think they
2734
01:39:04,125 --> 01:39:04,541
um
2735
01:39:05,041 --> 01:39:07,375
Manushed things but you're right. They
2736
01:39:07,375 --> 01:39:09,500
they priced it at a low price like that
2737
01:39:09,500 --> 01:39:10,583
probably didn't make much
2738
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:12,291
Because I still don't think they lost
2739
01:39:12,291 --> 01:39:14,083
they said they didn't they they lost
2740
01:39:14,083 --> 01:39:15,166
money. I still don't know
2741
01:39:15,666 --> 01:39:17,166
Um, but then again, they're also entering
2742
01:39:17,166 --> 01:39:19,250
the market in a very like
2743
01:39:19,250 --> 01:39:20,333
they're new to the market
2744
01:39:20,333 --> 01:39:22,333
So that is a little different asus and
2745
01:39:22,333 --> 01:39:23,375
all these other companies have been doing
2746
01:39:23,375 --> 01:39:25,083
this for decades. They have
2747
01:39:26,125 --> 01:39:28,041
much better margins and much better
2748
01:39:28,208 --> 01:39:28,750
Um
2749
01:39:29,333 --> 01:39:31,875
uh ties and even direct ties to
2750
01:39:31,875 --> 01:39:33,750
manufacturing that they probably can do
2751
01:39:33,750 --> 01:39:35,166
this cheaper than valve
2752
01:39:35,458 --> 01:39:37,291
So that could be that's kind of my second
2753
01:39:37,291 --> 01:39:38,708
point. That's could be what they're doing
2754
01:39:39,500 --> 01:39:41,708
Um people do forget this sometimes that
2755
01:39:41,708 --> 01:39:42,458
yeah, these companies
2756
01:39:42,458 --> 01:39:43,541
been doing this for decades
2757
01:39:44,125 --> 01:39:45,000
I I don't think
2758
01:39:45,625 --> 01:39:48,458
What val what gabe said was that pricing
2759
01:39:48,458 --> 01:39:50,333
the steam deck was painful?
2760
01:39:50,416 --> 01:39:51,875
I don't think they ever said that they
2761
01:39:51,875 --> 01:39:53,458
were losing money on it. Yeah,
2762
01:39:53,458 --> 01:39:54,958
but a lot of us inferred that
2763
01:39:55,541 --> 01:39:57,833
Um, but yeah, you're right. I think like
2764
01:39:57,833 --> 01:40:00,041
the fact that they ever lost money. No
2765
01:40:00,666 --> 01:40:02,791
And I still think they would even if the
2766
01:40:02,791 --> 01:40:05,541
lowest end version was losing
2767
01:40:06,041 --> 01:40:08,291
Just a handful of cents or whatever
2768
01:40:09,458 --> 01:40:11,708
They made it all back by selling the
2769
01:40:11,708 --> 01:40:14,375
actual by selling games. Yep. Um
2770
01:40:14,375 --> 01:40:16,583
But like I just there
2771
01:40:16,583 --> 01:40:18,291
isn't that like aftermarket
2772
01:40:18,708 --> 01:40:22,083
attachment thing for any other vendors
2773
01:40:22,083 --> 01:40:23,333
like none of these other
2774
01:40:23,333 --> 01:40:24,458
vendors are going to be making
2775
01:40:24,791 --> 01:40:27,458
a rotten cent from you after you have
2776
01:40:27,458 --> 01:40:29,500
bought the hardware and
2777
01:40:30,208 --> 01:40:32,375
even if they have like the deals with
2778
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:34,708
manufacturers and they they you know
2779
01:40:34,708 --> 01:40:36,375
things are cheaper for them because they
2780
01:40:36,375 --> 01:40:38,083
of their volume like
2781
01:40:39,416 --> 01:40:40,791
It just doesn't seem to
2782
01:40:40,791 --> 01:40:42,416
make sense to me like like
2783
01:40:43,083 --> 01:40:46,125
Aeneo releases two or three devices a
2784
01:40:46,125 --> 01:40:48,875
year because they don't make
2785
01:40:49,500 --> 01:40:49,750
like
2786
01:40:50,875 --> 01:40:52,625
You know, they don't make the margins
2787
01:40:52,625 --> 01:40:55,000
after sale like it's all on the hardware
2788
01:40:55,666 --> 01:40:58,458
and I don't know it's that's
2789
01:40:58,458 --> 01:41:00,666
why hp sells you laptops with
2790
01:41:01,083 --> 01:41:04,000
Bloated ad like malvertizing wear on it,
2791
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:05,708
you know, like because
2792
01:41:05,708 --> 01:41:07,958
it just doesn't make it
2793
01:41:08,125 --> 01:41:09,500
I don't know. I think that's what we've
2794
01:41:09,500 --> 01:41:11,000
been led to because they have a whole
2795
01:41:13,083 --> 01:41:14,833
Death make more and more every year. I
2796
01:41:14,833 --> 01:41:15,833
think that's what we've been led to
2797
01:41:15,833 --> 01:41:17,208
believe. I think they
2798
01:41:17,208 --> 01:41:18,541
do make money. It's just
2799
01:41:19,541 --> 01:41:21,250
The problem with these these margins is
2800
01:41:21,250 --> 01:41:23,250
if there's a major like let's say steam
2801
01:41:23,250 --> 01:41:24,625
deck. Let's say they had a
2802
01:41:24,625 --> 01:41:27,208
major failure in the in the
2803
01:41:27,458 --> 01:41:27,916
um
2804
01:41:28,708 --> 01:41:30,041
In steam decks that they
2805
01:41:30,041 --> 01:41:32,250
had to recall half of them
2806
01:41:33,166 --> 01:41:34,500
That would be a major
2807
01:41:34,500 --> 01:41:35,375
loss leader at that point
2808
01:41:35,375 --> 01:41:38,083
So the dangers of some of
2809
01:41:38,083 --> 01:41:39,708
these hardware releases are there
2810
01:41:40,291 --> 01:41:42,625
Meaning if there's enough
2811
01:41:43,583 --> 01:41:45,291
if you don't
2812
01:41:45,333 --> 01:41:48,333
Produce a good enough cheap product you
2813
01:41:48,333 --> 01:41:49,500
could end up losing a lot
2814
01:41:49,500 --> 01:41:51,541
of money in the long run. Um
2815
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:54,625
From recalls and from
2816
01:41:54,625 --> 01:41:56,708
warranties and stuff like that
2817
01:41:57,791 --> 01:41:58,750
Yeah, I
2818
01:42:00,625 --> 01:42:02,166
I I think they're making
2819
01:42:03,166 --> 01:42:04,583
Enough money, but I
2820
01:42:04,583 --> 01:42:05,458
don't it's definitely not
2821
01:42:06,375 --> 01:42:08,208
Probably good margins. I wouldn't be
2822
01:42:08,208 --> 01:42:09,375
shocked. It was good
2823
01:42:09,958 --> 01:42:11,875
Accessories though if they started doing
2824
01:42:11,875 --> 01:42:12,916
a little more accessories, but what do
2825
01:42:12,916 --> 01:42:15,041
you like they'll need to start doing
2826
01:42:15,833 --> 01:42:18,125
much better job with accessorizing their
2827
01:42:18,708 --> 01:42:20,041
Devices, which I just
2828
01:42:20,041 --> 01:42:21,166
don't see them doing much like
2829
01:42:21,583 --> 01:42:23,333
Have a dock for that specializes and
2830
01:42:23,333 --> 01:42:25,208
looks the same as it have all these other
2831
01:42:25,208 --> 01:42:26,416
things and accessorize and
2832
01:42:26,416 --> 01:42:27,083
that's where you get your
2833
01:42:27,083 --> 01:42:28,125
Money typically and that's
2834
01:42:28,125 --> 01:42:29,666
where like with playstation
2835
01:42:30,458 --> 01:42:32,375
Xbox they get a lot of money from their
2836
01:42:32,375 --> 01:42:35,041
accessories and I don't know why these
2837
01:42:35,041 --> 01:42:36,166
other companies aren't doing that
2838
01:42:36,166 --> 01:42:37,416
I just don't think they have a good game
2839
01:42:37,416 --> 01:42:38,291
plan. I think that's
2840
01:42:38,291 --> 01:42:39,541
where you're I think, you know
2841
01:42:39,958 --> 01:42:42,583
Yeah, what are what are they doing here?
2842
01:42:44,958 --> 01:42:46,708
Right, I I don't know
2843
01:42:47,166 --> 01:42:49,791
Ayaneo has a huge chinese market
2844
01:42:50,375 --> 01:42:52,416
That they're surviving off of so I
2845
01:42:52,416 --> 01:42:53,625
thought they would have gone on there a
2846
01:42:53,625 --> 01:42:54,666
while ago, but I think
2847
01:42:54,666 --> 01:42:55,791
they have a pretty big
2848
01:42:56,500 --> 01:42:58,875
chinese market and we just get like the
2849
01:42:59,833 --> 01:43:01,166
Not the spillover, but like we
2850
01:43:01,166 --> 01:43:03,000
get access to those things too
2851
01:43:03,583 --> 01:43:04,625
Because they sell well
2852
01:43:04,625 --> 01:43:06,083
enough in china. Yeah
2853
01:43:07,166 --> 01:43:07,500
so
2854
01:43:09,083 --> 01:43:09,333
Yeah
2855
01:43:11,250 --> 01:43:13,166
It's interesting it will be interesting
2856
01:43:13,166 --> 01:43:15,041
to see hp enter the market if they are
2857
01:43:15,958 --> 01:43:16,291
right
2858
01:43:17,416 --> 01:43:18,708
uh, one thing I do want to note about
2859
01:43:18,708 --> 01:43:21,750
this story too is that when uh
2860
01:43:21,916 --> 01:43:24,333
Josephine tan here was asked if they'd be
2861
01:43:24,333 --> 01:43:26,083
interested in making a handheld running
2862
01:43:26,083 --> 01:43:28,416
steam os her response was a very quick
2863
01:43:28,416 --> 01:43:29,458
and very simple. Yes
2864
01:43:30,458 --> 01:43:30,750
Yeah
2865
01:43:31,833 --> 01:43:34,333
Which is I mean i'd like to see what they
2866
01:43:34,333 --> 01:43:36,208
come up with I don't I don't know if
2867
01:43:36,208 --> 01:43:37,083
they'd be able to execute
2868
01:43:37,083 --> 01:43:39,416
But again, I I do have more faith in in
2869
01:43:39,416 --> 01:43:41,208
their linux side of stuff
2870
01:43:41,833 --> 01:43:43,291
I think that they'd be able to do it
2871
01:43:43,291 --> 01:43:45,125
better than than like the regular
2872
01:43:45,125 --> 01:43:49,083
consumer handheld or business side. Um
2873
01:43:50,125 --> 01:43:53,458
Also fun fact this is uh from the way
2874
01:43:53,458 --> 01:43:55,250
back machine because this article no
2875
01:43:55,250 --> 01:43:56,666
longer exists on xda
2876
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:58,625
Oh
2877
01:43:58,625 --> 01:44:01,666
Really? Yeah, so uh, maybe somebody got
2878
01:44:01,666 --> 01:44:03,500
in trouble for it or said something they
2879
01:44:03,500 --> 01:44:04,708
shouldn't have said to the
2880
01:44:05,333 --> 01:44:06,166
but uh
2881
01:44:06,875 --> 01:44:08,708
Very interesting, isn't it? Very very
2882
01:44:08,708 --> 01:44:10,208
interesting interesting
2883
01:44:10,875 --> 01:44:11,125
Yeah
2884
01:44:11,958 --> 01:44:13,500
All right. This is this is your story.
2885
01:44:13,500 --> 01:44:15,208
Tell tell me what's going on here
2886
01:44:15,916 --> 01:44:16,291
so
2887
01:44:17,083 --> 01:44:17,833
um
2888
01:44:18,791 --> 01:44:20,625
Apple's good. No, i'm just kidding
2889
01:44:20,625 --> 01:44:24,500
So google is
2890
01:44:25,583 --> 01:44:28,000
And the fear here is they're like they're
2891
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,458
doing closed source development
2892
01:44:30,041 --> 01:44:30,625
of
2893
01:44:31,250 --> 01:44:32,333
android now
2894
01:44:32,625 --> 01:44:32,875
meaning
2895
01:44:33,666 --> 01:44:35,916
Up until it is ready to be released or
2896
01:44:35,916 --> 01:44:38,458
whenever they think they could there's a
2897
01:44:38,458 --> 01:44:39,458
lot of things that could change here
2898
01:44:39,500 --> 01:44:42,291
But we'll talk about that. But google is
2899
01:44:42,291 --> 01:44:44,041
making android development private
2900
01:44:44,875 --> 01:44:48,166
Um, but they will make the um, once they
2901
01:44:48,166 --> 01:44:49,416
release they will make the os
2902
01:44:50,041 --> 01:44:52,250
Open source is what's going on here. So
2903
01:44:52,708 --> 01:44:54,208
The releases are going to be open source,
2904
01:44:54,208 --> 01:44:55,958
which is at least that's that's good
2905
01:44:55,958 --> 01:44:57,916
enough typically for me. Um, I think
2906
01:44:57,916 --> 01:44:59,416
that's how unreal engine works
2907
01:45:00,291 --> 01:45:03,125
Um, maybe they might actually also
2908
01:45:04,375 --> 01:45:05,875
I don't know if they have closed source
2909
01:45:05,875 --> 01:45:07,541
development, but I do know that
2910
01:45:08,125 --> 01:45:11,041
You can get access to the source code for
2911
01:45:11,041 --> 01:45:13,000
epics, um unreal engine
2912
01:45:14,041 --> 01:45:16,041
It's not it's under a different license
2913
01:45:16,083 --> 01:45:18,333
Yeah, it's not but it it's it's source
2914
01:45:18,333 --> 01:45:20,583
available, but the development is going
2915
01:45:20,583 --> 01:45:22,583
on in private. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah
2916
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,625
Which people are people fear google's
2917
01:45:25,625 --> 01:45:26,250
going to be doing
2918
01:45:26,250 --> 01:45:28,333
here with android, right?
2919
01:45:29,500 --> 01:45:30,875
And they've been shutting off
2920
01:45:31,333 --> 01:45:33,583
From I listen to a thing on this and
2921
01:45:33,583 --> 01:45:34,875
they've been shutting off more and more
2922
01:45:34,875 --> 01:45:37,166
features. So like their pixel phones have
2923
01:45:37,833 --> 01:45:39,875
Um software and features on
2924
01:45:39,875 --> 01:45:41,625
it that they do not open source
2925
01:45:42,375 --> 01:45:44,291
Um to stay competitive i'm
2926
01:45:44,291 --> 01:45:45,958
assuming and so here's the thing
2927
01:45:46,250 --> 01:45:46,625
I
2928
01:45:48,375 --> 01:45:50,375
Don't trust google
2929
01:45:51,416 --> 01:45:53,541
I use a closed source system. I use apple
2930
01:45:53,541 --> 01:45:55,000
stuff for business and a
2931
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:56,000
lot of other things. So
2932
01:45:56,625 --> 01:45:58,250
I would be a hypocrite if i'm like, yeah,
2933
01:45:58,250 --> 01:45:59,291
I don't like this but
2934
01:45:59,958 --> 01:46:01,833
I don't
2935
01:46:02,041 --> 01:46:02,958
Like that they're
2936
01:46:02,958 --> 01:46:04,791
depending on a lot of third-party
2937
01:46:05,333 --> 01:46:07,000
Companies in the beginning and then they
2938
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,000
started doing their own because the third
2939
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:10,125
parties weren't doing well enough
2940
01:46:10,916 --> 01:46:12,083
and then they're just going to close it
2941
01:46:12,083 --> 01:46:13,958
off and eventually with fuchsia or
2942
01:46:14,375 --> 01:46:16,500
Who knows what?
2943
01:46:17,958 --> 01:46:19,500
Is it fuchsia whatever it is like their
2944
01:46:19,500 --> 01:46:21,041
next um, yeah their next
2945
01:46:21,041 --> 01:46:23,958
operating system i'm curious what?
2946
01:46:25,458 --> 01:46:27,250
They're going to be doing and I just
2947
01:46:27,416 --> 01:46:31,166
I know as a hardware developer or if I
2948
01:46:31,166 --> 01:46:32,708
was these other companies, I wouldn't be
2949
01:46:32,708 --> 01:46:33,666
trusting them at this point
2950
01:46:33,666 --> 01:46:35,250
I wouldn't be trusting them to not cancel
2951
01:46:35,250 --> 01:46:36,833
anything at this point. They've cancelled
2952
01:46:36,833 --> 01:46:39,208
so much stuff. Yep. Um
2953
01:46:39,208 --> 01:46:40,041
So
2954
01:46:40,875 --> 01:46:42,375
I'd rather just jump over to a closed
2955
01:46:42,375 --> 01:46:42,833
source system if it's going to go that way
2956
01:46:42,916 --> 01:46:45,625
Well, I mean
2957
01:46:45,750 --> 01:46:50,166
Yeah, I think we should go to like um
2958
01:46:50,583 --> 01:46:51,791
Sailfish that's where
2959
01:46:51,791 --> 01:46:53,083
we should be going like
2960
01:46:53,250 --> 01:46:56,833
Have you heard of sailfish? I i've heard
2961
01:46:56,833 --> 01:46:58,041
of it. I haven't used it. I haven't
2962
01:46:58,041 --> 01:46:59,541
looked into it too much. Yeah
2963
01:46:59,666 --> 01:47:02,875
I like selfish. Um, but
2964
01:47:02,875 --> 01:47:04,666
also I read that there's like a
2965
01:47:05,333 --> 01:47:08,333
A port of ganom to android
2966
01:47:08,333 --> 01:47:09,333
have you heard about that?
2967
01:47:09,791 --> 01:47:11,041
I was kind of interested
2968
01:47:11,041 --> 01:47:11,458
in checking that out, but
2969
01:47:11,666 --> 01:47:15,416
Anyway, yeah, google google sucks.
2970
01:47:15,416 --> 01:47:17,791
They're they're bad. They're they're
2971
01:47:17,791 --> 01:47:19,291
they're literally evil at this point
2972
01:47:19,291 --> 01:47:22,500
Um, they will be making like if they
2973
01:47:22,500 --> 01:47:24,208
follow the licensing for the linux
2974
01:47:24,208 --> 01:47:25,416
kernel, they have to make
2975
01:47:25,416 --> 01:47:27,458
Most of this stuff open
2976
01:47:27,458 --> 01:47:29,500
source at some point. Um
2977
01:47:30,250 --> 01:47:31,916
Making it fully private
2978
01:47:32,125 --> 01:47:35,250
This just seems like something that they
2979
01:47:35,250 --> 01:47:37,583
are doing out of desperation like they
2980
01:47:37,583 --> 01:47:38,916
they see the writing on the wall
2981
01:47:38,958 --> 01:47:41,666
And they're shaking down the couch
2982
01:47:41,666 --> 01:47:44,166
cushions for pennies, you know, like
2983
01:47:44,166 --> 01:47:45,875
that's what this feels like to me like
2984
01:47:47,333 --> 01:47:48,791
They realize that making this
2985
01:47:48,791 --> 01:47:51,416
making uh things open source
2986
01:47:52,208 --> 01:47:53,625
While it's the ethical
2987
01:47:53,625 --> 01:47:55,250
and the moral thing to do
2988
01:47:55,875 --> 01:47:57,791
It is not good for business for their
2989
01:47:57,791 --> 01:47:59,708
business the way they want to run it
2990
01:48:00,041 --> 01:48:01,125
Uh, and so they're
2991
01:48:01,125 --> 01:48:02,916
they're backpedaling on it
2992
01:48:02,958 --> 01:48:05,458
Um doesn't work very well for it if you
2993
01:48:05,458 --> 01:48:06,166
have to keep on making
2994
01:48:06,166 --> 01:48:07,416
short-term gains every year
2995
01:48:09,166 --> 01:48:11,125
Which is a stupid business
2996
01:48:12,291 --> 01:48:15,000
It's it's just stupid that we're in this
2997
01:48:15,333 --> 01:48:17,958
Realm of short-term gains that kind of
2998
01:48:17,958 --> 01:48:19,083
destroy long-term
2999
01:48:19,083 --> 01:48:21,083
viability of a product. But yes
3000
01:48:21,750 --> 01:48:22,000
Yeah
3001
01:48:23,208 --> 01:48:23,500
um
3002
01:48:24,375 --> 01:48:27,166
Like I I invest like my company's money
3003
01:48:27,166 --> 01:48:29,666
into open source, right? Like I I
3004
01:48:30,291 --> 01:48:31,083
sponsored developers
3005
01:48:31,083 --> 01:48:32,791
of projects that I use
3006
01:48:33,250 --> 01:48:36,000
Because it makes sense for my business to
3007
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:37,875
it's ethical to that I rely on
3008
01:48:37,916 --> 01:48:39,333
Yeah, if you want something to survive
3009
01:48:39,333 --> 01:48:41,833
you got to fund it. Yes, exactly
3010
01:48:42,541 --> 01:48:43,000
um
3011
01:48:43,333 --> 01:48:46,000
And that's why like I don't ever want to
3012
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,250
work for or be involved with publicly
3013
01:48:48,250 --> 01:48:49,375
traded companies because
3014
01:48:49,375 --> 01:48:50,791
like they just don't have
3015
01:48:50,791 --> 01:48:52,166
the the right motivations
3016
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,000
Um, it's all about shareholder dividends
3017
01:48:56,208 --> 01:48:58,291
I definitely don't man.
3018
01:48:58,291 --> 01:49:00,875
It's a hard one. Yeah, I
3019
01:49:02,208 --> 01:49:04,166
Have I worked for I don't know if i've
3020
01:49:04,166 --> 01:49:05,625
ever worked for a publicly traded
3021
01:49:06,708 --> 01:49:08,208
But yeah, I worked for
3022
01:49:08,208 --> 01:49:09,500
home depot for a while
3023
01:49:10,041 --> 01:49:12,666
And they I guess game stop I did. Yeah,
3024
01:49:12,666 --> 01:49:13,708
but that wasn't yeah
3025
01:49:13,708 --> 01:49:15,416
before before the meme stock
3026
01:49:17,500 --> 01:49:17,916
So
3027
01:49:18,708 --> 01:49:20,875
Like okay, so i'm in the apple ecosystem
3028
01:49:20,875 --> 01:49:22,916
i'm in as close to off as
3029
01:49:22,916 --> 01:49:24,583
as it can be but it all works
3030
01:49:24,625 --> 01:49:27,041
So well together. Yeah, i'm okay doing
3031
01:49:27,041 --> 01:49:28,000
that but I am also
3032
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:29,375
putting in backup plans
3033
01:49:29,833 --> 01:49:30,750
For any if anything
3034
01:49:30,750 --> 01:49:33,416
happens and I also I do do stuff
3035
01:49:33,416 --> 01:49:35,583
That's not I do a lot of stuff. That's
3036
01:49:35,583 --> 01:49:37,125
open source also, especially
3037
01:49:37,125 --> 01:49:39,208
on my apple devices. I just
3038
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,833
I'm tired of like google canceling
3039
01:49:42,833 --> 01:49:43,375
things. I know
3040
01:49:43,375 --> 01:49:44,416
apple's not going to cancel
3041
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,541
Uh, let's say the simple note app that I
3042
01:49:47,541 --> 01:49:48,291
use sometimes or the
3043
01:49:48,291 --> 01:49:49,833
reminders or certain things
3044
01:49:49,833 --> 01:49:51,083
I just know apple's not going to cancel
3045
01:49:51,083 --> 01:49:51,916
because they have a track
3046
01:49:51,916 --> 01:49:53,500
record of not doing that
3047
01:49:53,500 --> 01:49:56,291
And I can rely on it where with open
3048
01:49:56,291 --> 01:49:57,875
source I can rely on
3049
01:49:57,875 --> 01:49:59,250
that stuff to a point
3050
01:49:59,916 --> 01:50:02,625
But in my day to day nowadays, I just I
3051
01:50:02,625 --> 01:50:03,625
gotta have things that work
3052
01:50:04,291 --> 01:50:05,750
and work well enough
3053
01:50:06,458 --> 01:50:06,875
for
3054
01:50:07,833 --> 01:50:09,250
And i've mentioned so many different
3055
01:50:09,250 --> 01:50:11,916
times but for business oriented stuff
3056
01:50:12,458 --> 01:50:14,083
To uh, my my typical
3057
01:50:14,791 --> 01:50:16,541
Like emails and everything like that
3058
01:50:17,083 --> 01:50:18,875
It's nice. I've been i've been going to
3059
01:50:18,875 --> 01:50:22,000
um, the mail client on on ios and apple
3060
01:50:22,541 --> 01:50:24,958
The the here's the here's the plus of the
3061
01:50:24,958 --> 01:50:26,625
apple ecosystem now i'm
3062
01:50:26,625 --> 01:50:27,708
gonna show for them a little bit
3063
01:50:27,916 --> 01:50:29,833
And i've been doing this i've been I do
3064
01:50:29,833 --> 01:50:30,875
this every once in a while and then I get
3065
01:50:30,875 --> 01:50:32,416
mad and I get mad at apple but
3066
01:50:33,916 --> 01:50:36,125
I don't have ads. I don't have anything
3067
01:50:36,125 --> 01:50:37,458
going on with my mail
3068
01:50:37,458 --> 01:50:38,708
client. It is simple
3069
01:50:39,333 --> 01:50:40,875
It still has a lot of powerful stuff that
3070
01:50:40,875 --> 01:50:42,541
gmail has but it is simple
3071
01:50:43,666 --> 01:50:45,083
Where I go back to gmail
3072
01:50:45,083 --> 01:50:46,041
and i'm like, oh my gosh
3073
01:50:46,375 --> 01:50:49,125
Why is there so many tabs here and there
3074
01:50:49,125 --> 01:50:51,041
and I don't know dude gmail on
3075
01:50:51,041 --> 01:50:53,291
android is garbage. Oh my god
3076
01:50:53,666 --> 01:50:56,291
Yeah that too and it I feel like it did
3077
01:50:57,250 --> 01:50:59,250
On android or ios. Yeah, so
3078
01:51:00,208 --> 01:51:03,875
I'm just kind of over that now. Um and
3079
01:51:04,291 --> 01:51:06,041
Apple you when you buy their products
3080
01:51:06,041 --> 01:51:08,833
it's expensive, but they don't have ads
3081
01:51:08,833 --> 01:51:10,375
and they don't do tracking
3082
01:51:11,083 --> 01:51:11,666
on their
3083
01:51:12,375 --> 01:51:13,875
first party uh software
3084
01:51:15,250 --> 01:51:15,625
Um
3085
01:51:16,375 --> 01:51:17,666
and they're very direct
3086
01:51:17,666 --> 01:51:19,625
like if any app is going to
3087
01:51:20,083 --> 01:51:20,958
Do any type of tracking
3088
01:51:20,958 --> 01:51:23,041
you have to allow it to
3089
01:51:23,916 --> 01:51:25,333
so um
3090
01:51:26,541 --> 01:51:27,541
I'm not as big into
3091
01:51:27,541 --> 01:51:29,041
the privacy thing, but
3092
01:51:29,500 --> 01:51:30,958
nowadays I might be because
3093
01:51:30,958 --> 01:51:33,166
of the way trends are going in
3094
01:51:34,208 --> 01:51:36,375
this united states but uh
3095
01:51:37,250 --> 01:51:39,375
Let's just say if you're a green card
3096
01:51:39,375 --> 01:51:40,833
holder in the united states don't leave
3097
01:51:40,833 --> 01:51:41,875
right now because you
3098
01:51:41,875 --> 01:51:43,166
might not be coming back
3099
01:51:43,458 --> 01:51:43,958
um
3100
01:51:44,875 --> 01:51:46,750
And that that comes in the privacy.
3101
01:51:46,750 --> 01:51:47,708
That's the one that we
3102
01:51:47,708 --> 01:51:48,958
didn't put on here if
3103
01:51:49,583 --> 01:51:51,500
You go to the airport
3104
01:51:51,916 --> 01:51:55,708
Um, if you're flying back in they might
3105
01:51:55,708 --> 01:51:57,916
take your phone and just scan it nowadays
3106
01:51:57,916 --> 01:51:59,541
They've done that multiple times and
3107
01:51:59,541 --> 01:52:01,333
they've detained people that have said
3108
01:52:01,333 --> 01:52:04,125
anything that was contradictory to
3109
01:52:04,416 --> 01:52:05,125
um
3110
01:52:05,458 --> 01:52:07,000
Pal uh, palestinian or
3111
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,708
anything like that. Uh, like or
3112
01:52:10,125 --> 01:52:13,583
Israel which is crazy. So i'm becoming
3113
01:52:13,583 --> 01:52:15,666
more and more of an of getting into that
3114
01:52:15,666 --> 01:52:16,791
maybe privacy things
3115
01:52:17,500 --> 01:52:18,458
right where
3116
01:52:20,041 --> 01:52:20,750
Be careful guys
3117
01:52:21,333 --> 01:52:23,041
And maybe it is time to really start
3118
01:52:23,041 --> 01:52:23,916
thinking about your privacy
3119
01:52:24,625 --> 01:52:25,958
And this is coming from someone who's
3120
01:52:25,958 --> 01:52:27,041
been very laxatasical
3121
01:52:27,750 --> 01:52:28,708
about it
3122
01:52:28,791 --> 01:52:29,458
So yeah
3123
01:52:30,208 --> 01:52:31,625
No, no, I mean I agree with
3124
01:52:31,625 --> 01:52:33,250
you like it's definitely worth
3125
01:52:33,750 --> 01:52:34,333
um
3126
01:52:36,166 --> 01:52:38,041
Thinking about you know, the the thing is
3127
01:52:38,041 --> 01:52:40,041
I don't trust google with
3128
01:52:40,916 --> 01:52:41,333
uh
3129
01:52:41,666 --> 01:52:44,083
Privacy stuff. I don't I don't
3130
01:52:44,291 --> 01:52:46,125
I don't completely distrust
3131
01:52:46,125 --> 01:52:48,375
apple like they at least have
3132
01:52:49,083 --> 01:52:49,375
uh
3133
01:52:50,208 --> 01:52:51,583
a marketing interest
3134
01:52:51,583 --> 01:52:53,500
in maintaining the the
3135
01:52:54,541 --> 01:52:57,416
veneer of privacy, right of being focused
3136
01:52:57,416 --> 01:52:59,041
on privacy so they they at
3137
01:52:59,041 --> 01:53:00,416
least have a little bit of like
3138
01:53:00,916 --> 01:53:03,625
Financial something nobody takes google
3139
01:53:03,625 --> 01:53:05,541
seriously when google's like oh we we
3140
01:53:05,541 --> 01:53:06,000
care about your
3141
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:08,125
privacy. No, you fucking don't
3142
01:53:08,291 --> 01:53:08,583
but
3143
01:53:08,916 --> 01:53:10,875
Apple at least has to
3144
01:53:10,875 --> 01:53:12,583
pretend they do which they have
3145
01:53:13,333 --> 01:53:14,208
Yes, they've had leaks
3146
01:53:14,458 --> 01:53:16,333
They and they but they have a business on
3147
01:53:16,333 --> 01:53:18,500
this if every time they have issues their
3148
01:53:18,500 --> 01:53:20,833
stock will drop like yeah, they have
3149
01:53:21,250 --> 01:53:22,791
somewhat of a privacy
3150
01:53:23,250 --> 01:53:25,750
aspect to them that they promote right
3151
01:53:25,750 --> 01:53:27,125
part of the premium package
3152
01:53:27,500 --> 01:53:29,875
I commend them for that and especially
3153
01:53:29,875 --> 01:53:32,041
like going to bat against like the uk
3154
01:53:32,541 --> 01:53:35,625
Uh for their secret court thing court
3155
01:53:35,625 --> 01:53:37,375
order to like give them backdoor access
3156
01:53:37,958 --> 01:53:38,458
um
3157
01:53:38,916 --> 01:53:41,500
And they yeah, I I commend them for that
3158
01:53:41,500 --> 01:53:43,750
too. But like at the end of the day
3159
01:53:45,791 --> 01:53:47,583
At some point they can
3160
01:53:47,583 --> 01:53:48,708
just change their mind
3161
01:53:49,500 --> 01:53:52,916
Yep, and and then suddenly oh, we're not
3162
01:53:52,916 --> 01:53:54,708
going to go to bat and defend
3163
01:53:54,708 --> 01:53:57,708
Our customers rights because
3164
01:53:57,708 --> 01:53:59,000
it will cost us too much money
3165
01:53:59,625 --> 01:54:01,625
And that's why I like having my own
3166
01:54:01,625 --> 01:54:03,583
self-hosted open source stuff where I can
3167
01:54:03,583 --> 01:54:04,458
audit it and make sure
3168
01:54:04,458 --> 01:54:05,458
that it's actually working
3169
01:54:05,583 --> 01:54:07,125
For me and not for anything else
3170
01:54:07,875 --> 01:54:08,041
so
3171
01:54:09,166 --> 01:54:11,000
Yeah, that is what i'm doing right now is
3172
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:12,916
i'm divesting stuff i'm using i'm gonna
3173
01:54:12,916 --> 01:54:14,125
be using a lot of apple stuff
3174
01:54:14,208 --> 01:54:16,166
But I like i'm gonna have backups
3175
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:18,708
on my um
3176
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:19,958
I'm gonna be creating a
3177
01:54:19,958 --> 01:54:21,291
home lab lab this year
3178
01:54:22,041 --> 01:54:23,583
partially for fun, you know
3179
01:54:24,541 --> 01:54:27,041
It's super fun and i'm gonna be
3180
01:54:27,041 --> 01:54:29,541
simplifying like my desktop like i'm
3181
01:54:29,541 --> 01:54:31,750
probably gonna get a a max studio
3182
01:54:32,708 --> 01:54:34,291
And start doing game development on that
3183
01:54:34,291 --> 01:54:36,208
and and just kind of having that be
3184
01:54:36,916 --> 01:54:38,166
my main system
3185
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:40,708
And then run windows parallels if I need
3186
01:54:40,708 --> 01:54:42,083
to run windows stuff and all that because
3187
01:54:42,083 --> 01:54:42,750
it's running really well
3188
01:54:42,791 --> 01:54:45,458
I really really do like the mchip
3189
01:54:45,916 --> 01:54:48,000
It is amazing at how much they get
3190
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:49,333
performance without having
3191
01:54:49,333 --> 01:54:50,750
to up wattage like nvidia
3192
01:54:50,916 --> 01:54:52,625
and i'm also kind of just over this
3193
01:54:52,625 --> 01:54:55,000
nvidia and even amd sometimes like
3194
01:54:55,541 --> 01:54:58,000
Um not be able to get graphics cards like
3195
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,500
it's been a cluster fuck this year
3196
01:55:00,791 --> 01:55:03,125
uh like in last time too nvidia is just
3197
01:55:03,125 --> 01:55:05,750
like it feels like nvidia is just
3198
01:55:06,208 --> 01:55:07,791
Screwing us over and we're just allowing
3199
01:55:07,791 --> 01:55:09,583
it and i'm kind of just done with that.
3200
01:55:09,583 --> 01:55:11,000
So i'm going towards
3201
01:55:12,041 --> 01:55:14,125
Um, it won't be as powerful
3202
01:55:14,125 --> 01:55:15,208
but i'm going towards well
3203
01:55:15,208 --> 01:55:18,208
Mac studio is really good at doing like
3204
01:55:18,208 --> 01:55:19,708
video editing and some other stuff
3205
01:55:20,375 --> 01:55:23,041
um gaming i'm not as much but
3206
01:55:24,291 --> 01:55:26,958
I want to dive more into especially for
3207
01:55:26,958 --> 01:55:29,250
gaming into the linux world and having
3208
01:55:29,250 --> 01:55:31,625
fun there and so i'm
3209
01:55:32,333 --> 01:55:33,083
And i'm talking about those multiple
3210
01:55:33,083 --> 01:55:34,208
times. I want to keep
3211
01:55:34,625 --> 01:55:37,458
The things like if I if my flow my
3212
01:55:37,458 --> 01:55:38,666
workflow gets disrupted too much
3213
01:55:38,708 --> 01:55:39,875
That's why i've been making videos as
3214
01:55:39,875 --> 01:55:40,958
much because my windows
3215
01:55:41,750 --> 01:55:43,875
Machine started acting up big time and it
3216
01:55:43,875 --> 01:55:45,000
was not a hardware issue. It
3217
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:46,375
was a it was a windows issue
3218
01:55:47,166 --> 01:55:49,125
And I had like I finally
3219
01:55:49,125 --> 01:55:50,750
because I kept on refreshing it
3220
01:55:51,083 --> 01:55:53,291
Off of the windows that was included on
3221
01:55:53,291 --> 01:55:55,583
it. I finally just did a full just delete
3222
01:55:55,583 --> 01:55:57,583
it and it seems to be running better now
3223
01:55:59,250 --> 01:56:00,958
But i'm just not gonna i'm once you
3224
01:56:00,958 --> 01:56:02,583
disrupt my flow enough i'm
3225
01:56:02,583 --> 01:56:04,916
done. Um, google did that
3226
01:56:05,500 --> 01:56:07,666
windows did that I have to have like
3227
01:56:08,708 --> 01:56:09,583
my um
3228
01:56:10,208 --> 01:56:11,875
I have to have things run well
3229
01:56:12,625 --> 01:56:14,916
For certain things i'm doing now when i'm
3230
01:56:14,916 --> 01:56:15,666
tinkering that's fine
3231
01:56:15,666 --> 01:56:16,583
with gaming. That's fine
3232
01:56:16,583 --> 01:56:17,541
I'm I can keep on
3233
01:56:17,541 --> 01:56:19,500
reinstalling games and everything but
3234
01:56:19,958 --> 01:56:22,416
I gotta have my flow work fine. Uh, well
3235
01:56:22,416 --> 01:56:23,916
for work stuff or else my
3236
01:56:23,916 --> 01:56:26,333
brain my adhd brain is going to
3237
01:56:26,666 --> 01:56:29,166
Self-destruct and so and it's it's hard
3238
01:56:29,166 --> 01:56:31,791
to like gardener like open source is is
3239
01:56:31,791 --> 01:56:32,916
fun. It's it's awesome
3240
01:56:32,916 --> 01:56:34,000
I love it. I've contributed
3241
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:35,250
to open source stuff before
3242
01:56:36,541 --> 01:56:36,916
but
3243
01:56:38,375 --> 01:56:40,500
It's really hard to have like an open
3244
01:56:40,500 --> 01:56:42,375
source phone and have a lot of things
3245
01:56:42,375 --> 01:56:44,041
work on it really well because
3246
01:56:44,458 --> 01:56:46,083
It does take a little it takes a lot of
3247
01:56:46,083 --> 01:56:47,750
work to get that stuff in there
3248
01:56:48,708 --> 01:56:49,791
And so i'm just wondering
3249
01:56:49,791 --> 01:56:51,291
what the answer is going to be
3250
01:56:51,500 --> 01:56:52,875
for the future of like
3251
01:56:53,166 --> 01:56:55,250
Android if it's going to go closed source
3252
01:56:55,250 --> 01:56:56,375
I'm going to treat it and I think
3253
01:56:56,375 --> 01:56:56,958
everyone should treat
3254
01:56:56,958 --> 01:56:57,916
it that it's going to be
3255
01:56:58,250 --> 01:56:59,625
closed source in the
3256
01:56:59,625 --> 01:57:00,791
future in the sense of
3257
01:57:01,041 --> 01:57:02,750
android itself probably won't be and
3258
01:57:02,750 --> 01:57:05,125
there'll be um, maybe there'll be branch
3259
01:57:05,125 --> 01:57:06,666
like we can branch off and
3260
01:57:06,708 --> 01:57:10,083
um do uh clones of it, but
3261
01:57:11,375 --> 01:57:14,416
Expect continual updates to be moved over
3262
01:57:14,416 --> 01:57:16,125
to something else that is closed source
3263
01:57:16,458 --> 01:57:18,958
Yeah, so the the thing with with phones
3264
01:57:18,958 --> 01:57:20,666
particularly is that
3265
01:57:21,250 --> 01:57:25,416
With android too android like the core
3266
01:57:25,416 --> 01:57:27,333
operating system is open source
3267
01:57:28,708 --> 01:57:29,083
but
3268
01:57:30,375 --> 01:57:32,583
most of the drivers that you get for
3269
01:57:33,333 --> 01:57:36,125
Devices like this a smartphone are closed
3270
01:57:36,125 --> 01:57:38,958
source. They are binary blobs that have
3271
01:57:38,958 --> 01:57:39,583
been incorporated
3272
01:57:39,583 --> 01:57:41,666
into the linux kernel and
3273
01:57:42,291 --> 01:57:44,083
That has the benefit of
3274
01:57:44,541 --> 01:57:46,583
Like harder manufacturers actually
3275
01:57:46,583 --> 01:57:50,041
producing drivers for that hardware, but
3276
01:57:50,041 --> 01:57:51,000
it also has the drawback
3277
01:57:51,750 --> 01:57:55,000
That you can't study it. You can't
3278
01:57:55,208 --> 01:57:56,500
Figure out what's going on with it. You
3279
01:57:56,500 --> 01:57:57,583
can't fix issues yourself
3280
01:57:57,833 --> 01:58:00,500
And it also means that the that the
3281
01:58:00,500 --> 01:58:01,958
firmware of these drivers
3282
01:58:01,958 --> 01:58:04,000
or these devices is also
3283
01:58:04,375 --> 01:58:06,208
completely closed so
3284
01:58:07,083 --> 01:58:09,500
There aren't many great options in terms
3285
01:58:09,500 --> 01:58:11,041
of of like having a
3286
01:58:11,041 --> 01:58:12,791
truly open source phone
3287
01:58:13,583 --> 01:58:15,875
Uh, and a lot that's because there's a
3288
01:58:15,875 --> 01:58:17,000
lot of industry collusion
3289
01:58:17,583 --> 01:58:19,708
uh to keep things proprietary
3290
01:58:20,875 --> 01:58:22,916
Not the least of which is the mobile
3291
01:58:22,916 --> 01:58:25,875
operators like verizon won't allow you
3292
01:58:26,291 --> 01:58:28,125
To run a rooted phone on their network
3293
01:58:28,125 --> 01:58:30,541
anymore. Um, and it's like
3294
01:58:31,416 --> 01:58:33,666
Like I have two devices that I really
3295
01:58:33,666 --> 01:58:35,333
want to be using but I also
3296
01:58:35,333 --> 01:58:37,333
don't want to pay 130 a month
3297
01:58:37,750 --> 01:58:40,333
to atnt for shit service
3298
01:58:41,250 --> 01:58:43,291
Around here where I literally literally
3299
01:58:43,291 --> 01:58:45,208
if I wanted atnt here
3300
01:58:45,583 --> 01:58:46,833
I'd have to drive to the end of my
3301
01:58:46,833 --> 01:58:47,916
fucking street to make
3302
01:58:47,916 --> 01:58:49,375
a phone call, you know
3303
01:58:49,375 --> 01:58:50,916
What are you what's the price you're
3304
01:58:50,916 --> 01:58:52,541
willing to pay for open source gardener?
3305
01:58:52,541 --> 01:58:53,250
I think we're finding
3306
01:58:53,250 --> 01:58:53,791
out. That's the thing
3307
01:58:54,541 --> 01:58:56,250
I'm kidding. By the way. No, you're
3308
01:58:56,250 --> 01:58:58,583
absolutely right. It's like I I
3309
01:58:58,666 --> 01:58:59,208
am
3310
01:59:00,125 --> 01:59:02,666
It's like what is the price that oh there
3311
01:59:02,666 --> 01:59:04,833
is a premium to having privacy?
3312
01:59:05,375 --> 01:59:07,375
Uh to maintaining your privacy and that
3313
01:59:07,375 --> 01:59:10,000
sucks because if you're aware of all the
3314
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:11,000
shit that's going down
3315
01:59:11,416 --> 01:59:11,958
uh
3316
01:59:12,208 --> 01:59:14,458
Like all of the actors that want your
3317
01:59:14,458 --> 01:59:16,166
information and i'm not even talking
3318
01:59:16,166 --> 01:59:17,125
about like governments,
3319
01:59:17,125 --> 01:59:19,625
right? Like this is this is um
3320
01:59:20,375 --> 01:59:21,916
Advertisers it's advertisers
3321
01:59:22,375 --> 01:59:25,000
It's your insurance companies. It's all
3322
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:25,625
of these other things
3323
01:59:25,958 --> 01:59:27,791
The insurance one is that's another one
3324
01:59:27,791 --> 01:59:28,541
where i'm starting to get
3325
01:59:28,541 --> 01:59:30,500
more and more like okay, dude
3326
01:59:30,541 --> 01:59:32,958
Yeah, people people always, you know, you
3327
01:59:32,958 --> 01:59:34,875
talk about privacy and people make fun of
3328
01:59:34,875 --> 01:59:35,541
you. It's like, oh, yeah
3329
01:59:35,541 --> 01:59:36,541
Put your tinfoil hat
3330
01:59:36,541 --> 01:59:37,666
on it's like no, dude
3331
01:59:37,833 --> 01:59:40,416
Do you want your insurance premiums to to
3332
01:59:40,416 --> 01:59:41,791
to be jacked up on
3333
01:59:41,791 --> 01:59:43,375
you because your phone?
3334
01:59:43,750 --> 01:59:46,166
Says like the telemetry on your busted
3335
01:59:46,166 --> 01:59:48,250
ass phone says that you were driving
3336
01:59:48,250 --> 01:59:49,333
faster than you actually were
3337
01:59:49,666 --> 01:59:52,833
No, you don't want that and so like yeah,
3338
01:59:52,833 --> 01:59:54,208
it's this isn't paranoia
3339
01:59:54,208 --> 01:59:56,208
This is these are like actual things that
3340
01:59:56,208 --> 01:59:57,166
are actually happening
3341
01:59:57,833 --> 02:00:00,458
I mean, there's been a lot of even um
3342
02:00:00,458 --> 02:00:02,416
lawsuits over the years and stuff. Yeah.
3343
02:00:02,416 --> 02:00:05,125
No, I I hear you on this like I it's it's
3344
02:00:05,125 --> 02:00:06,458
unless we um
3345
02:00:07,833 --> 02:00:10,250
Legitulate this like unless we put laws
3346
02:00:10,250 --> 02:00:12,833
and regulations in yeah, um
3347
02:00:13,750 --> 02:00:15,791
You have to then put it into your light
3348
02:00:15,791 --> 02:00:17,583
into your own hands. It's
3349
02:00:17,583 --> 02:00:18,458
in your own hands. That's why
3350
02:00:19,916 --> 02:00:21,875
as much as um
3351
02:00:22,375 --> 02:00:24,416
You know, you might not like apple or
3352
02:00:24,416 --> 02:00:26,958
whatever like your options are
3353
02:00:27,500 --> 02:00:30,500
Android is a freaking clusterfuck of a
3354
02:00:30,500 --> 02:00:33,125
mess with privacy period. We know that
3355
02:00:33,125 --> 02:00:33,666
like there's been
3356
02:00:33,666 --> 02:00:35,708
multiple issues over the years
3357
02:00:36,125 --> 02:00:37,458
Apple has had some slip-ups
3358
02:00:37,458 --> 02:00:40,291
And this is how I see it either you have
3359
02:00:40,291 --> 02:00:41,500
an open source device
3360
02:00:42,125 --> 02:00:42,750
or apple
3361
02:00:43,666 --> 02:00:44,541
If you want at least a
3362
02:00:44,541 --> 02:00:45,333
little bit of privacy
3363
02:00:46,333 --> 02:00:47,208
I'm yeah
3364
02:00:47,916 --> 02:00:48,750
That's the option
3365
02:00:48,750 --> 02:00:51,541
There is a device that i'm excited about
3366
02:00:51,541 --> 02:00:53,125
and I can't remember the name of it, but
3367
02:00:53,125 --> 02:00:54,500
it's like not a smartphone
3368
02:00:55,166 --> 02:00:57,500
It's like an it's like a linux
3369
02:00:57,500 --> 02:01:00,166
computer. That's in your hand
3370
02:01:01,958 --> 02:01:02,875
And I wish I could
3371
02:01:02,875 --> 02:01:04,791
remember the name of it, but uh
3372
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,708
But it has like a you can attach a rate
3373
02:01:07,708 --> 02:01:09,625
like a cell radio to it
3374
02:01:09,833 --> 02:01:12,083
And you can use it as a phone and i'm
3375
02:01:12,083 --> 02:01:13,250
thinking about doing that like
3376
02:01:13,250 --> 02:01:14,958
legitimately a ham radio
3377
02:01:15,250 --> 02:01:15,791
uh
3378
02:01:16,291 --> 02:01:16,625
phone
3379
02:01:17,500 --> 02:01:18,291
No, no, it'll look
3380
02:01:18,291 --> 02:01:20,333
legit like it's a legit 4g
3381
02:01:20,625 --> 02:01:22,333
Yeah, i'm i'm kidding
3382
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:24,708
It's it will be interesting to see how we
3383
02:01:24,708 --> 02:01:27,000
go with all this. It is definitely one of
3384
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:27,875
those things where right now
3385
02:01:27,875 --> 02:01:29,500
I don't think the average person
3386
02:01:30,208 --> 02:01:31,166
Yeah can
3387
02:01:32,125 --> 02:01:34,666
Even like it's really hard to do open
3388
02:01:34,666 --> 02:01:36,166
source and to debug this stuff or
3389
02:01:36,166 --> 02:01:37,583
especially an average person. I mean
3390
02:01:37,958 --> 02:01:38,250
dude
3391
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:40,625
There's no way. I don't even know if I
3392
02:01:40,625 --> 02:01:42,375
can get my parents to go over to like
3393
02:01:42,750 --> 02:01:45,000
iPhone from an android device because
3394
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:45,958
they're so embedded and
3395
02:01:45,958 --> 02:01:46,916
it's just easier for them
3396
02:01:47,958 --> 02:01:49,500
I don't know if I could get them to go
3397
02:01:49,500 --> 02:01:51,625
over to something like this. No, this is
3398
02:01:51,625 --> 02:01:53,000
not for normal people
3399
02:01:53,083 --> 02:01:55,500
Like this is for nerds dude, like like
3400
02:01:55,500 --> 02:01:57,916
this looks fun. It has interchangeable
3401
02:01:58,291 --> 02:02:00,583
Uh, yeah face plates on it
3402
02:02:00,583 --> 02:02:02,125
and this one's like a gpio
3403
02:02:02,791 --> 02:02:04,958
You know this one is a uh
3404
02:02:05,833 --> 02:02:07,375
You know this gamepad there's a keyboard
3405
02:02:07,958 --> 02:02:09,875
Um, and they actually just re like
3406
02:02:09,875 --> 02:02:11,333
redesigned how these connect
3407
02:02:11,958 --> 02:02:14,041
I generally try to steer clear of
3408
02:02:14,041 --> 02:02:15,625
kickstarter stuff now, but
3409
02:02:15,625 --> 02:02:17,833
like this this looks really neat
3410
02:02:17,833 --> 02:02:20,041
It's called the mecha comet for anyone
3411
02:02:20,041 --> 02:02:21,041
who's listening to the
3412
02:02:21,041 --> 02:02:22,125
thing instead of watching
3413
02:02:22,625 --> 02:02:25,250
Um the mecha comet and it's only 159
3414
02:02:25,250 --> 02:02:28,416
dollars. This is not going to actually
3415
02:02:28,416 --> 02:02:29,583
replace a smartphone
3416
02:02:29,583 --> 02:02:30,208
You're not going to be
3417
02:02:30,208 --> 02:02:31,791
able to get android apps on it
3418
02:02:32,041 --> 02:02:34,875
Yeah, it's a it's a it's a almost uh a
3419
02:02:34,875 --> 02:02:36,041
dumb phone or going back
3420
02:02:36,041 --> 02:02:37,708
in time. It feels like right
3421
02:02:37,833 --> 02:02:40,583
But it also will have like basic phone
3422
02:02:40,583 --> 02:02:41,750
functionality, you know
3423
02:02:41,916 --> 02:02:43,875
Like you could i'll bet you you could
3424
02:02:43,875 --> 02:02:45,916
probably run signal on this and that's
3425
02:02:45,916 --> 02:02:46,916
really what I care about
3426
02:02:47,750 --> 02:02:49,000
Interesting. Yeah
3427
02:02:49,750 --> 02:02:50,583
so anyway
3428
02:02:51,500 --> 02:02:53,458
Yeah, that's my lecture on privacy today
3429
02:02:54,125 --> 02:02:55,916
I think it's important and i've always
3430
02:02:55,916 --> 02:02:57,750
been I've been one of those guys like
3431
02:02:57,750 --> 02:03:00,625
Your privacy's already especially if
3432
02:03:00,625 --> 02:03:01,666
you're an average person's already
3433
02:03:01,666 --> 02:03:03,625
compromised to a point. Oh, yeah, and
3434
02:03:04,375 --> 02:03:06,791
Either you either worry about it or don't
3435
02:03:06,791 --> 02:03:07,708
but expect
3436
02:03:07,708 --> 02:03:10,083
consequences. I guess the thing is
3437
02:03:11,500 --> 02:03:13,583
Yes, your privacy is already compromised,
3438
02:03:13,583 --> 02:03:14,250
especially if you
3439
02:03:14,250 --> 02:03:15,541
haven't been aware of it
3440
02:03:15,916 --> 02:03:18,458
But the industry is designed in such a
3441
02:03:18,458 --> 02:03:21,083
way that it requires it thrives on
3442
02:03:21,666 --> 02:03:25,000
A constant feed of fresh data and if you
3443
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:27,375
don't true you're not providing that
3444
02:03:27,666 --> 02:03:29,875
Then you can quickly regain your privacy
3445
02:03:30,541 --> 02:03:33,000
Um, and this is something that I actually
3446
02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:34,208
teach a class about this
3447
02:03:34,208 --> 02:03:35,541
like I go around and teach
3448
02:03:36,291 --> 02:03:37,875
Like give this presentation. I have a
3449
02:03:37,875 --> 02:03:39,125
whole slide deck and everything
3450
02:03:39,666 --> 02:03:42,458
um, and I love teaching this class and
3451
02:03:42,458 --> 02:03:44,541
it's it's super rewarding because
3452
02:03:45,250 --> 02:03:47,750
People are interested in this and I get
3453
02:03:47,750 --> 02:03:49,583
to help them on this
3454
02:03:49,583 --> 02:03:51,000
journey and it's super fun
3455
02:03:51,833 --> 02:03:52,166
um
3456
02:03:53,166 --> 02:03:53,416
I
3457
02:03:54,291 --> 02:03:55,291
Yeah, you're definitely
3458
02:03:55,291 --> 02:03:56,541
the expert on this area
3459
02:03:56,625 --> 02:03:58,291
Because i've been one of those
3460
02:03:58,291 --> 02:03:59,375
lackadaisical people where
3461
02:03:59,375 --> 02:04:01,041
i'm like, it is what it is like
3462
02:04:01,416 --> 02:04:02,958
I don't have time for this i'd rather be
3463
02:04:02,958 --> 02:04:04,666
tinkering with something but
3464
02:04:06,708 --> 02:04:08,375
With the way the world's kind of going
3465
02:04:08,375 --> 02:04:10,666
right now and just being able to be
3466
02:04:10,666 --> 02:04:12,291
detained and have your phone searched
3467
02:04:13,166 --> 02:04:16,083
Right now is is this is happening to
3468
02:04:16,083 --> 02:04:17,333
average people. So
3469
02:04:17,333 --> 02:04:18,458
just be a little careful
3470
02:04:19,083 --> 02:04:19,416
like
3471
02:04:20,041 --> 02:04:21,041
Free speech isn't as
3472
02:04:21,041 --> 02:04:22,041
free as it used to be
3473
02:04:22,625 --> 02:04:23,625
Um, don't if you have
3474
02:04:23,625 --> 02:04:25,791
telegram delete that shit right now
3475
02:04:25,958 --> 02:04:28,541
Oh, yeah telegram is definitely like we
3476
02:04:28,541 --> 02:04:29,708
talked about that a few weeks
3477
02:04:29,708 --> 02:04:31,958
ago. Yeah, it's bad news bears
3478
02:04:32,791 --> 02:04:34,125
Dylan yeah 100%
3479
02:04:35,375 --> 02:04:37,333
But and I honestly I think
3480
02:04:37,333 --> 02:04:39,125
the best way to also see this is
3481
02:04:39,583 --> 02:04:41,416
Nothing is truly private
3482
02:04:42,875 --> 02:04:43,916
You just have layers
3483
02:04:43,916 --> 02:04:45,916
of privacy like meaning
3484
02:04:46,541 --> 02:04:47,375
person to person
3485
02:04:48,291 --> 02:04:50,291
Is almost as private as it
3486
02:04:50,291 --> 02:04:51,625
can get but you can still have
3487
02:04:51,958 --> 02:04:53,500
Especially back in the good old days of
3488
02:04:53,500 --> 02:04:54,833
like wiretaps and stuff
3489
02:04:54,833 --> 02:04:56,291
like that. There's still ways
3490
02:04:58,041 --> 02:05:00,083
Wiretaps not necessarily like but like
3491
02:05:00,083 --> 02:05:01,166
listening devices in the room
3492
02:05:02,041 --> 02:05:03,708
Don't be paranoid about that. Obviously,
3493
02:05:03,708 --> 02:05:05,625
but like well, I mean, maybe with your
3494
02:05:05,625 --> 02:05:06,458
phone. I don't know but
3495
02:05:07,666 --> 02:05:09,041
Just be careful with being the paranoid.
3496
02:05:09,041 --> 02:05:09,750
There's the there's the
3497
02:05:09,958 --> 02:05:11,583
Paranoid to lose your life kind of
3498
02:05:11,583 --> 02:05:13,125
paranoid where you just don't do anything
3499
02:05:13,125 --> 02:05:14,375
except for being paranoid and then
3500
02:05:14,375 --> 02:05:15,250
there's the paranoid of like
3501
02:05:15,750 --> 02:05:18,625
Maybe just watch a little bit of what
3502
02:05:18,625 --> 02:05:20,416
you're doing and see what you can do to
3503
02:05:20,416 --> 02:05:22,625
sure it up every day, right?
3504
02:05:26,291 --> 02:05:26,583
And
3505
02:05:28,541 --> 02:05:33,250
I would that I think that's probably I
3506
02:05:33,250 --> 02:05:33,708
think that's all the
3507
02:05:33,708 --> 02:05:34,583
stories we have right?
3508
02:05:35,500 --> 02:05:38,833
That is all the stories. I think um, let
3509
02:05:38,833 --> 02:05:40,125
me check one thing real quick
3510
02:05:40,875 --> 02:05:42,000
If you want a good
3511
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:42,916
deal on a four terabyte
3512
02:05:42,958 --> 02:05:45,041
4 terabyte nvm drive,
3513
02:05:45,583 --> 02:05:47,916
uh, samsung 99 the 990 pro
3514
02:05:48,541 --> 02:05:51,708
Is on sell for 279 dollars
3515
02:05:51,708 --> 02:05:53,958
at amazon. Oh, really? So
3516
02:05:53,958 --> 02:05:55,666
I figured I'd throw that
3517
02:05:55,666 --> 02:05:57,000
out there. It's not a bad deal
3518
02:05:57,416 --> 02:05:57,750
um
3519
02:05:58,625 --> 02:06:01,708
For four terabytes, but it's not for it
3520
02:06:01,708 --> 02:06:03,541
is the full sized so it
3521
02:06:03,541 --> 02:06:05,458
won't fit into the steam deck
3522
02:06:05,875 --> 02:06:06,708
without modification
3523
02:06:08,916 --> 02:06:09,416
Um
3524
02:06:10,791 --> 02:06:11,958
Figure I just throw that out
3525
02:06:13,333 --> 02:06:15,916
Oh marvel's spider-man 2 loses steam deck
3526
02:06:15,916 --> 02:06:16,750
verified rating. This
3527
02:06:16,750 --> 02:06:18,541
is from uh, noah on st
3528
02:06:19,750 --> 02:06:21,958
Steam deck hq. So it's another
3529
02:06:22,791 --> 02:06:25,000
game that's losing its uh
3530
02:06:26,083 --> 02:06:28,458
Verified rating now, I don't know why
3531
02:06:28,458 --> 02:06:31,416
it's losing it but just interesting that
3532
02:06:31,416 --> 02:06:33,750
that's happening. Yeah
3533
02:06:33,958 --> 02:06:35,916
Um, I did want to mention
3534
02:06:36,708 --> 02:06:38,666
There's a comment from ben betton
3535
02:06:39,333 --> 02:06:43,583
4 506 on on youtube. Oh, okay. Ben said,
3536
02:06:43,583 --> 02:06:46,625
uh, I can't find this on apple podcast
3537
02:06:47,666 --> 02:06:49,583
um, and if you go to
3538
02:06:49,958 --> 02:06:51,791
Podcasts subscribe to me
3539
02:06:52,458 --> 02:06:53,541
You should see a link
3540
02:06:53,541 --> 02:06:55,666
to apple to apple podcast
3541
02:06:56,541 --> 02:06:59,166
Right here on the on the right side. If
3542
02:06:59,166 --> 02:07:01,208
you click on that, it'll take you right
3543
02:07:01,208 --> 02:07:03,541
to it. Oh my god. Did they remove us?
3544
02:07:04,208 --> 02:07:05,375
I'm let's see
3545
02:07:06,458 --> 02:07:06,875
The page you're
3546
02:07:06,875 --> 02:07:07,791
looking for can't be found
3547
02:07:08,791 --> 02:07:10,416
I
3548
02:07:10,958 --> 02:07:11,583
They might have
3549
02:07:11,958 --> 02:07:14,750
Um, we were on there. I had the link set
3550
02:07:14,750 --> 02:07:16,458
up and everything i'll get that fixed
3551
02:07:17,583 --> 02:07:19,375
That's a good call out. Yeah. Yeah
3552
02:07:20,083 --> 02:07:21,666
I was confident that we
3553
02:07:21,666 --> 02:07:22,458
were on there. All right
3554
02:07:22,458 --> 02:07:25,000
We we were at one point and I excited
3555
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:26,833
pretty sure I was subscribed because I
3556
02:07:26,833 --> 02:07:28,375
use I use apple podcasts
3557
02:07:29,083 --> 02:07:30,458
and uh, yeah
3558
02:07:31,750 --> 02:07:33,791
Once again, it's just a cleaner interface
3559
02:07:33,791 --> 02:07:35,250
and doesn't have a bunch of other like
3560
02:07:35,250 --> 02:07:36,166
they're not data mining me
3561
02:07:36,166 --> 02:07:36,750
because they already paid
3562
02:07:36,791 --> 02:07:38,833
I already paid for the product. Right?
3563
02:07:38,833 --> 02:07:40,958
Okay. At least I I mean they're still
3564
02:07:40,958 --> 02:07:42,291
doing some telemetry, but
3565
02:07:43,041 --> 02:07:44,916
No, well i'll get that fixed and you'll
3566
02:07:44,916 --> 02:07:47,250
