00:00:01,113 --> 00:00:05,173
Welcome to Off the Console, the
hottest podcast all about tech,

2
00:00:05,183 --> 00:00:06,733
gaming, and anything nerdy.

3
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:10,773
And, uh, I don't have the
rest of my script, so week

4
00:00:11,163 --> 00:00:13,433
with me is High Tech Low Life.

5
00:00:13,499 --> 00:00:14,309
Welcome, welcome, man

6
00:00:14,379 --> 00:00:16,109
Thanks for having me, man.

7
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:18,569
You know, it's been
quite an interesting day.

8
00:00:18,579 --> 00:00:20,419
It's been quite an
interesting day, you see

9
00:00:20,546 --> 00:00:22,386
It, it has been very interesting.

10
00:00:22,459 --> 00:00:26,159
Uh, we just got done with the bonus
episode, so if you want more content

11
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:30,699
after watching this or even spicier
takes, some of the topics that we

12
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:36,439
talked about over there are, like, the
D-Flock stuff going on with Darth Vader.

13
00:00:36,649 --> 00:00:39,609
We also talked about Wi-Fi
being able to identify you.

14
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:44,539
Maybe, maybe there's gonna be a collab
between D-Flock… not D-Flock, sorry,

15
00:00:44,819 --> 00:00:47,989
Flock cameras and Wi-Fi networks.

16
00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:48,879
We, we don't know.

17
00:00:49,019 --> 00:00:49,889
It's a horrible collab.

18
00:00:49,899 --> 00:00:55,519
But I do know is that today, for
the main episode, we do have GTA

19
00:00:55,519 --> 00:01:01,859
VI and all its leakage, and then we
have Valve and its 30th anniversary.

20
00:01:01,989 --> 00:01:06,199
Uh, I mean, anniversaries can count
to three, I mean, even if it is 30.

21
00:01:06,669 --> 00:01:11,899
But we'll see what else we get
from them on that this coming week.

22
00:01:11,949 --> 00:01:15,359
And then a bunch of other stuff,
including Bazzite updates.

23
00:01:15,689 --> 00:01:17,389
Good stuff, good stuff this week.

24
00:01:18,349 --> 00:01:23,259
Like always, though, we go into,
uh, seeing what, what each one

25
00:01:23,259 --> 00:01:27,039
of us are doing, what's going on
in our lives, what we're playing.

26
00:01:27,089 --> 00:01:29,459
Unfortunately, Gardner
is not with us today.

27
00:01:29,459 --> 00:01:35,369
He had important other things to take
care of, and so, uh, he is missed

28
00:01:35,379 --> 00:01:38,509
this week, but he will be… He
should be here next week for sure.

29
00:01:38,849 --> 00:01:40,259
So, uh, yeah.

30
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:42,289
With that being said, what
have you been up to, HiTech?

31
00:01:44,167 --> 00:01:47,737
Well, I've been exploring… Well,
I've been finishing up my Steam Machine

32
00:01:47,747 --> 00:01:49,797
review, and it's out on YouTube right now.

33
00:01:49,797 --> 00:01:50,957
It's doing pretty well.

34
00:01:50,957 --> 00:01:51,937
I've given my thoughts.

35
00:01:52,437 --> 00:01:56,097
You know, someone said that I spoke, I
said the same thing word for word Gardner

36
00:01:56,097 --> 00:01:58,297
said, but you know what they didn't know?

37
00:01:58,607 --> 00:02:00,747
I wrote the article for that
on Gardner's website as well

38
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:01,635
Yeah.

39
00:02:02,575 --> 00:02:06,505
Oh, so they're like, "We read his
article." They don't r- Do they not

40
00:02:06,505 --> 00:02:08,765
realize that Gardner has editors?

41
00:02:09,883 --> 00:02:11,713
Well, I, like, I wrote the whole article.

42
00:02:11,859 --> 00:02:12,399
editors, but

43
00:02:12,403 --> 00:02:12,583
wrote

44
00:02:12,619 --> 00:02:18,209
I mean, um, yeah, no, you're, you…
It's not like there's ghostwriters.

45
00:02:18,209 --> 00:02:21,179
You're one of the, uh… What are,
what is, what am I thinking of?

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:22,999
yeah.

47
00:02:23,489 --> 00:02:23,689
You,

48
00:02:23,751 --> 00:02:24,391
Yes.

49
00:02:24,459 --> 00:02:24,799
You,

50
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:25,851
Yes.

51
00:02:25,889 --> 00:02:26,469
did everything.

52
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:26,661
Yes

53
00:02:26,929 --> 00:02:29,759
Gardner has multiple
people that do that, so

54
00:02:29,863 --> 00:02:33,233
Gar- Garner didn't buy a Steam Machine,
uh, in case you guys didn't know.

55
00:02:33,503 --> 00:02:35,333
He, he made his own Steam Machine.

56
00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:39,163
And, uh, it'll be interesting
hearing his thoughts on that.

57
00:02:39,273 --> 00:02:43,183
Uh, but in the meantime, though, aside
from that though, I also published it

58
00:02:43,183 --> 00:02:48,313
on Bilibili as my first Bilibili video,
because I was exploring that as well.

59
00:02:48,323 --> 00:02:51,433
Because, uh, I'm not sure if you know
this or not… I don't know if you

60
00:02:51,433 --> 00:02:54,713
know this or not, but Bilibili is
opening up to the rest of the world now

61
00:02:56,821 --> 00:02:57,411
Yeah.

62
00:02:57,791 --> 00:02:58,651
Billy Billy.

63
00:02:59,111 --> 00:03:00,001
It's an interesting name.

64
00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:02,451
I hate writing it out
though, but it's interesting.

65
00:03:03,607 --> 00:03:08,797
Yeah, so it's, ye- yeah, so
it's spelled B-I-L-I-B-I-L-I

66
00:03:09,051 --> 00:03:09,291
Mm-hmm

67
00:03:12,713 --> 00:03:17,543
And it's gotten, uh, it's actually
gotten 39 views, which is great

68
00:03:17,543 --> 00:03:18,843
'cause I haven't advertised it at all.

69
00:03:21,811 --> 00:03:25,041
I've written, I, I wrote, I also wrote
an article about that on Gardner's site,

70
00:03:25,101 --> 00:03:27,591
but, uh, it's not released just yet.

71
00:03:27,829 --> 00:03:29,789
Dude, you're a beast at writing articles.

72
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:31,139
I need, I need to learn.

73
00:03:31,249 --> 00:03:33,259
I've been writing other stuff,
but we can get into that when

74
00:03:34,321 --> 00:03:37,651
Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it's just
about getting the right inspiration.

75
00:03:37,651 --> 00:03:40,091
It's been a while since I've
written anything on Gardner's site

76
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:41,979
I don't know.

77
00:03:42,049 --> 00:03:43,439
You've been, I think
you've been killing it.

78
00:03:44,109 --> 00:03:45,699
Seems like you average like what?

79
00:03:45,699 --> 00:03:49,529
One or two a month and you're, it's not
even, you know, you're a, a guest writer

80
00:03:50,359 --> 00:03:52,099
Yeah, I am a guest writer.

81
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,739
But yeah, that's my week.

82
00:03:54,839 --> 00:03:58,549
Been playing, been fucking around
with the, the Steam Machine.

83
00:03:59,149 --> 00:04:05,049
Been messing around with game streaming
to a, to and from the machine as well.

84
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:06,899
Have you been liking that?

85
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:08,929
I, I actually have.

86
00:04:08,929 --> 00:04:12,589
Steam, Steam Remote Play
has improved drastically.

87
00:04:13,055 --> 00:04:13,475
Agreed

88
00:04:13,949 --> 00:04:17,309
Like I almost, like I almost feel no
difference between that and Moonlight now.

89
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:18,229
Yeah.

90
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:19,989
historical- Yeah

91
00:04:20,309 --> 00:04:23,449
think it, at least from my experience,
it's been a little better than Moonlight,

92
00:04:23,459 --> 00:04:25,699
but, um, I'm in a different house.

93
00:04:25,939 --> 00:04:29,543
Same network, but a different house, so
it could also be something to do with that

94
00:04:30,202 --> 00:04:30,872
Ah, yeah.

95
00:04:30,932 --> 00:04:31,542
Yeah, yeah.

96
00:04:31,542 --> 00:04:34,722
I mean, both of them are hooked up
via ethernet, so it makes it a much,

97
00:04:34,742 --> 00:04:36,582
much, much, much better experience.

98
00:04:37,112 --> 00:04:42,312
I'm sure… I still need to do more
extensive testing with, like, my Ayn Thor

99
00:04:43,085 --> 00:04:43,095
Hmm.

100
00:04:43,322 --> 00:04:45,222
and my Steam Machine, 'cause
I've got that set up too

101
00:04:45,943 --> 00:04:47,133
Have you done the Steam Deck then?

102
00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:48,223
On

103
00:04:48,248 --> 00:04:52,538
I've also… I mean, I
could do that pretty easily

104
00:04:52,687 --> 00:04:57,267
do actually, is I, like, my Steam
Machine is on ethernet though, so

105
00:04:57,267 --> 00:05:00,457
I don't think… I haven't tried it
without, with just Wi-Fi with the Steam

106
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:02,417
Machine, but the Steam Deck is Wi-Fi.

107
00:05:02,667 --> 00:05:08,577
I haven't, like, I was playing
it, um, on my second story, uh,

108
00:05:08,688 --> 00:05:09,418
Yeah.

109
00:05:09,437 --> 00:05:10,007
was playing it,

110
00:05:10,988 --> 00:05:11,698
I'm also

111
00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:14,017
and it was, it was pretty good actually

112
00:05:14,458 --> 00:05:15,378
I've also enabled PoE as well

113
00:05:18,999 --> 00:05:19,239
Hmm.

114
00:05:19,239 --> 00:05:19,369
Is

115
00:05:19,516 --> 00:05:19,816
Yeah

116
00:05:20,209 --> 00:05:21,449
setting you have to enable?

117
00:05:22,412 --> 00:05:25,102
Uh, so yes and no.

118
00:05:25,132 --> 00:05:28,542
Yes, you have to enable in the
BIOS, and then yes, you have

119
00:05:28,542 --> 00:05:30,732
to set it up in command line.

120
00:05:32,042 --> 00:05:35,952
So there's a bit of, there's a
bit of tomfoolery that has to

121
00:05:35,972 --> 00:05:38,232
be done, but it's not too bad

122
00:05:38,551 --> 00:05:40,661
I wonder if, if anyone's
really interested, I'll make

123
00:05:40,661 --> 00:05:43,121
a script and I'll have that.

124
00:05:43,201 --> 00:05:47,331
'Cause I, I've done scripts in the
past, I just know if people care or not.

125
00:05:47,531 --> 00:05:48,341
'Cause I might, ah.

126
00:05:48,991 --> 00:05:50,991
can't create a script for the BIOS though.

127
00:05:52,161 --> 00:05:52,301
But

128
00:05:52,412 --> 00:05:53,392
That's, yeah, that's the thing.

129
00:05:53,392 --> 00:05:56,592
You're gonna have to … Well, it's
a, it's a pretty simple, uh, you just

130
00:05:56,602 --> 00:05:59,372
turn on, you just turn on S4, S5, uh

131
00:06:02,096 --> 00:06:06,446
S4, S5 wake on, wake up,
and it, it just works.

132
00:06:06,701 --> 00:06:10,221
So you abbreviated, so this is
wake on ethernet or wake on LAN,

133
00:06:10,646 --> 00:06:11,926
Yeah, wake on LAN, yes

134
00:06:12,211 --> 00:06:12,601
Yeah.

135
00:06:13,381 --> 00:06:13,751
So,

136
00:06:14,362 --> 00:06:17,972
I don't know if Wake- I don't know if
Wacom, I don't know if Wacom LAN works

137
00:06:18,172 --> 00:06:19,902
outside of your home network though

138
00:06:21,633 --> 00:06:25,213
No, not without… You, you
could set it up to work though.

139
00:06:26,443 --> 00:06:29,123
I, I can almost guarantee that, but
you're gonna, it's gonna be a whole

140
00:06:29,123 --> 00:06:31,513
other system that you'd have to in.

141
00:06:31,523 --> 00:06:32,963
There's, I'm sure there's software for it.

142
00:06:34,143 --> 00:06:34,833
I, in fact, I think

143
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:35,004
Oh.

144
00:06:35,053 --> 00:06:36,033
is, I just haven't

145
00:06:36,084 --> 00:06:36,554
Yeah.

146
00:06:36,753 --> 00:06:37,453
um, I haven't

147
00:06:37,514 --> 00:06:37,814
So

148
00:06:37,853 --> 00:06:38,223
it in for a

149
00:06:38,454 --> 00:06:42,774
yeah, so Steam, so Steam Link
automatically attempts the wake on LAN

150
00:06:42,984 --> 00:06:47,704
situation first before you, uh, before
it actually starts to stream, you know?

151
00:06:49,101 --> 00:06:49,441
Yeah

152
00:06:49,644 --> 00:06:53,184
if you go to Steam, if you go to Steam
Link and then just try to connect to

153
00:06:53,184 --> 00:06:57,264
your, like, Steam Machine or Steam Deck
or whatever, it'll wake it up first and

154
00:06:57,274 --> 00:06:59,294
then connect, and that's pretty cool.

155
00:06:59,644 --> 00:07:01,034
There is one caveat, though.

156
00:07:01,644 --> 00:07:05,784
If you have HDMI CEC enabled,
it also turns your TV on,

157
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:08,354
and that's super annoying

158
00:07:08,523 --> 00:07:11,855
I'm wondering if that's why they have
it turned off for now in, in… Oh man,

159
00:07:11,855 --> 00:07:17,045
that seems like such an, like… It's
interesting that they have it… So I

160
00:07:17,045 --> 00:07:21,005
know I'm jumping back, uh, uh, all over
here, but like Valve could implement

161
00:07:21,035 --> 00:07:25,015
a new firmware update or a BIOS update
and have that enabled by default.

162
00:07:25,055 --> 00:07:26,375
So they could do that in the future.

163
00:07:26,375 --> 00:07:27,735
I'm, I'm curious why they didn't do it.

164
00:07:27,745 --> 00:07:30,725
Maybe they didn't wanna deal with
the CEC automatically turning on

165
00:07:30,725 --> 00:07:33,775
the TV, but that seems like a signal
that they could also control, right?

166
00:07:34,175 --> 00:07:37,255
They, they wouldn't need-- They
could control whether they fire that

167
00:07:37,255 --> 00:07:39,075
signal from my understanding, so,

168
00:07:39,999 --> 00:07:42,269
I think they c- I mean,
they might be able to.

169
00:07:42,269 --> 00:07:43,729
I don't, I don't know for certain

170
00:07:43,793 --> 00:07:49,663
to, unless it's, it's unless, their,
'cause their CEC is like a little

171
00:07:49,663 --> 00:07:51,563
bit of a custom one version, right?

172
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:53,383
So,

173
00:07:53,813 --> 00:07:54,603
Yeah, I don't, I

174
00:07:54,603 --> 00:07:55,353
don't know, man

175
00:07:55,723 --> 00:07:58,503
Yeah, it, it, it's … I'm try-
sorry, I'm trying to solutionize

176
00:07:58,503 --> 00:08:01,023
here, but that's really interesting.

177
00:08:01,283 --> 00:08:05,063
I, I… The, the script for doing
it in the, in the terminal is

178
00:08:05,063 --> 00:08:08,633
one I could do for people, but
the BIOS would be a harder one.

179
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:13,983
Um, yeah, so that's what you've
been, you've been pretty busy, man.

180
00:08:15,445 --> 00:08:16,425
Yeah, I have.

181
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:16,935
I have.

182
00:08:16,945 --> 00:08:18,195
Now what about you though?

183
00:08:19,303 --> 00:08:20,173
Uh, me.

184
00:08:20,795 --> 00:08:21,555
Yes, you

185
00:08:21,713 --> 00:08:23,383
been writing in a different sense.

186
00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:31,683
I have promoted my AI Claude to be a
manager over me and l- and manage my life.

187
00:08:32,573 --> 00:08:33,073
No, I'm just kidding.

188
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:40,983
Just I… Uh, I've been writing
a lot more software though.

189
00:08:41,203 --> 00:08:42,173
I know.

190
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:47,303
Uh, and so I tend to…
'Cause I'm, I'm an engineer.

191
00:08:47,393 --> 00:08:49,363
I've written software for 15 years.

192
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:53,913
I tend to gravitate towards
writing software and code more

193
00:08:53,913 --> 00:08:55,433
than I do writing articles.

194
00:08:55,463 --> 00:09:00,263
I don't mind writing articles, it's just
I have a hard time focusing on that,

195
00:09:00,263 --> 00:09:02,373
where code is in much smaller blocks.

196
00:09:02,443 --> 00:09:05,443
Um, but yeah, I've been
writing a lot more, updating.

197
00:09:05,503 --> 00:09:08,603
Um, I have, like, six
projects going on right now.

198
00:09:08,603 --> 00:09:09,323
I, I know.

199
00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:13,263
It's just how my brain kinda works,
but thecowtrick.com is coming along.

200
00:09:13,343 --> 00:09:18,533
Um, I have updates out for, my
load kit and some other stuff

201
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:23,433
that I'm working on I, that I'll,
uh, talk about later the road.

202
00:09:24,133 --> 00:09:26,983
Off The Console will probably have,
you know, some new updates, too.

203
00:09:27,063 --> 00:09:28,403
Um, uh, eh.

204
00:09:29,383 --> 00:09:33,733
working on my game work, uh,
playing Baldur's Gate 3, pushing

205
00:09:33,733 --> 00:09:37,163
off my review of the Steam Machine
because I've been enjoying the Steam

206
00:09:37,163 --> 00:09:39,033
Machine too much, which is bad.

207
00:09:39,223 --> 00:09:41,253
Like, I really do like the
Steam Machine quite a bit.

208
00:09:42,473 --> 00:09:43,583
Uh, high tech.

209
00:09:43,613 --> 00:09:46,873
Like, it's, it's a fun little device.

210
00:09:46,873 --> 00:09:48,363
I didn't think I was
gonna like it so much.

211
00:09:48,363 --> 00:09:48,923
I was a little worried.

212
00:09:48,923 --> 00:09:53,773
I'm like, "Well, this is not as
powerful as, like, as…" Heck, I even

213
00:09:53,773 --> 00:09:55,203
have an older Windows machine now.

214
00:09:55,213 --> 00:09:58,913
I'm like, "It might be about as powerful
as that," but I'm really liking it.

215
00:10:00,563 --> 00:10:02,693
I think FSR has done a great job.

216
00:10:03,873 --> 00:10:04,393
So,

217
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,649
Dude, it's only get- but g- it's only
about to get better 'cause I think

218
00:10:07,749 --> 00:10:12,329
FSR 4.1 or whatever is enabled in,
uh, Proton experimental, is it not?

219
00:10:12,915 --> 00:10:13,225
Yeah.

220
00:10:14,035 --> 00:10:14,505
It is.

221
00:10:14,685 --> 00:10:16,315
I don't know how that works.

222
00:10:16,315 --> 00:10:20,065
I-- From my understanding, it's, like,
defaulted, so anytime that you select

223
00:10:20,085 --> 00:10:23,785
FSR, I can't remember if it's two
and three or if it's just three, but

224
00:10:23,795 --> 00:10:26,745
every time you select one of those in
a game, it will override it, and it

225
00:10:26,745 --> 00:10:29,235
will use F- uh, FSR 4.1, I believe.

226
00:10:29,975 --> 00:10:32,475
I don't know if it's a setting that
you can disable/enable or if it's

227
00:10:32,475 --> 00:10:36,005
just baked right into it, but that's,
from my understanding, how it works

228
00:10:38,421 --> 00:10:39,921
I don't know, I don't
know for certain either.

229
00:10:40,591 --> 00:10:40,981
But-

230
00:10:41,981 --> 00:10:47,121
another thing is that I've written
a script that puts my that I'm

231
00:10:47,121 --> 00:10:50,261
working on, it's in an Unreal, onto
the, onto the Steam Machine and

232
00:10:50,261 --> 00:10:52,831
onto the Deck for auto testing.

233
00:10:52,831 --> 00:10:57,961
So my game is gonna be … I'm testing
it on these devices, so curious.

234
00:10:58,171 --> 00:11:02,871
I'll, I'll, I'll r- in the future I'll
report back on how well development

235
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:08,271
and, uh, with Unreal, and how easy
it is to optimize Unreal 5 games

236
00:11:08,271 --> 00:11:10,971
is Steam Deck and Steam Machine.

237
00:11:11,441 --> 00:11:15,231
'Cause I, I It, it's an interesting
dilemma that people always think

238
00:11:15,231 --> 00:11:21,511
that Unreal is really bad for lower
powered devices, but we'll see

239
00:11:22,571 --> 00:11:24,941
I mean, like most other things,
it depends on the developer

240
00:11:25,755 --> 00:11:28,245
Uh, that's it, and also the
technology you enable and

241
00:11:28,275 --> 00:11:29,595
optimizations and stuff like that.

242
00:11:29,645 --> 00:11:32,185
It's-- It'll be interesting to see, um

243
00:11:33,103 --> 00:11:37,063
And I mean, it's mostly not Unreal,
it's mostly like just Lumen, right?

244
00:11:38,707 --> 00:11:40,117
Well, Lumen is Unreal.

245
00:11:40,607 --> 00:11:40,867
Uh,

246
00:11:40,923 --> 00:11:41,433
Well one

247
00:11:41,737 --> 00:11:45,497
it's n- uh, I'm, I'm assuming Nanite
can be also an issue in it too.

248
00:11:45,507 --> 00:11:49,637
It's these powerful systems to where
they're very, very, they are very

249
00:11:49,637 --> 00:11:56,767
powerful, but if you into it and
have a dual system set up and switch

250
00:11:56,767 --> 00:12:01,297
between them, then it, it should be
easier, but it, it should be easier.

251
00:12:01,747 --> 00:12:03,817
That being said, you're gonna
throw off the atmosphere of

252
00:12:03,817 --> 00:12:05,017
your game, so I don't know.

253
00:12:05,067 --> 00:12:05,557
We'll see.

254
00:12:05,737 --> 00:12:07,737
I'll, I'll report back
as I work on it more.

255
00:12:08,047 --> 00:12:12,157
Right now, though, I'm in the,
uh… 'Cause I've been working

256
00:12:12,157 --> 00:12:13,467
on my games on and off for years.

257
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:20,277
Um, I've gone back on one of the games,
restructured it and redid it, I'm in

258
00:12:20,277 --> 00:12:24,407
the beginning portion of it, and I'm,
I'm taking it from a need to test on

259
00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:27,377
Deck Steam Machine-oriented stuff.

260
00:12:28,077 --> 00:12:32,573
Um, I've also been playing around
with the AI integrations with MS,

261
00:12:32,573 --> 00:12:33,937
uh, with MCP, uh, with it, and

262
00:12:37,197 --> 00:12:40,167
it's interesting 'cause you can
import and manage assets much easier

263
00:12:40,167 --> 00:12:42,477
with, with Claude, which is nice.

264
00:12:43,227 --> 00:12:47,917
Just as a… I know, I'm sure a lot of pe-
uh, listeners and viewers don't like AI,

265
00:12:48,737 --> 00:12:53,757
but it is interesting as like that helping
tool of I don't wanna manage the assets.

266
00:12:53,797 --> 00:12:58,907
I can have it even manage and optimize
the assets for me and, remind…

267
00:12:58,917 --> 00:13:00,697
Like it's, it's, it's a really
nice tool for that type of stuff.

268
00:13:00,697 --> 00:13:04,167
So I think if game developers use it
in the future for like optimizations

269
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:08,207
and stuff like that, we could have
much better, uh, optimized games, even

270
00:13:08,207 --> 00:13:13,267
if we just had kind of like a little
cl- uh, a tool that helped with that.

271
00:13:15,987 --> 00:13:16,397
I don't know

272
00:13:17,707 --> 00:13:18,257
Yes.

273
00:13:18,257 --> 00:13:18,877
Yeah.

274
00:13:19,057 --> 00:13:22,247
I think, uh… I mean, I don't…
I'm not, I'm not really sure

275
00:13:22,247 --> 00:13:23,347
what to make of it anymore.

276
00:13:23,347 --> 00:13:26,707
I mean, if it helps you guys, it
does, but we can't trust just…

277
00:13:26,837 --> 00:13:29,547
You're an experienced coder,
so you know what's going on.

278
00:13:30,507 --> 00:13:33,427
It's mostly the vibe coders
that don't know anything about

279
00:13:33,427 --> 00:13:34,697
coding that are the problems

280
00:13:35,125 --> 00:13:38,115
Well, and they vibe code stuff that,
like, takes credit cards, all of the

281
00:13:38,115 --> 00:13:42,105
other stuff where I'm like, "Okay, guys."
So, like, I joke about being a vibe

282
00:13:42,105 --> 00:13:47,675
coder, but I read the code, I understand
the code, and I, I will say this and

283
00:13:47,675 --> 00:13:53,815
people are n- not gonna like what I'm
gonna say, but Claude and AI is getting

284
00:13:54,455 --> 00:13:56,765
drastically better every year at coding

285
00:13:59,021 --> 00:14:01,211
Is it good at, like,
guessing what you want?

286
00:14:01,351 --> 00:14:03,491
Not nec- no, you have
to be very descriptive.

287
00:14:03,491 --> 00:14:04,971
You've got to, to review stuff.

288
00:14:05,001 --> 00:14:06,991
It's going to go off on different paths.

289
00:14:07,011 --> 00:14:10,571
You have to work with it, um,
depending on how you do it.

290
00:14:10,591 --> 00:14:14,811
Or you have it build out the templates
system, like that's how I'm doing it more

291
00:14:15,161 --> 00:14:19,541
is I build out, uh, the systems and, and
do the stuff I just don't wanna deal with.

292
00:14:19,841 --> 00:14:21,831
And then I still, like,
do a lot of editing.

293
00:14:23,321 --> 00:14:27,311
but it's becoming less and less, guys.

294
00:14:27,311 --> 00:14:28,481
Like, it's really good.

295
00:14:29,891 --> 00:14:33,571
It's also really funny 'cause with the
e- uh, I know we need to get on with the

296
00:14:33,571 --> 00:14:38,701
topics, but with the MC- like, with the,
with where it tr- uh, thinks it will place

297
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:41,551
stuff into the world, 'cause I'm like,
"Okay, put this into the world, into where

298
00:14:41,551 --> 00:14:44,801
you think it is, and then I'll rearrange
and, and I'll, I'll fine-tune everything."

299
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:47,661
And it gets it r- it
gets it wrong so much.

300
00:14:47,671 --> 00:14:48,411
It's so funny.

301
00:14:48,851 --> 00:14:50,121
It inverts so much stuff.

302
00:14:51,811 --> 00:14:52,711
it, it is what it is.

303
00:14:52,711 --> 00:14:58,681
We can, we can move on to the topics of
the day, um, but before we do that, make

304
00:14:58,701 --> 00:15:02,491
sure to like, subscribe, bash, or that's
for me and my channel, bash that bell.

305
00:15:02,491 --> 00:15:06,551
But, like, hit subscribe,
hit the bell, get reminded of

306
00:15:06,551 --> 00:15:08,511
when we do our podcast drops.

307
00:15:09,431 --> 00:15:12,101
and with that, go over to the Fediverse.

308
00:15:12,171 --> 00:15:15,101
Y- honestly, you can go to over there.

309
00:15:15,111 --> 00:15:16,151
It has all the links.

310
00:15:16,641 --> 00:15:18,231
We'll have it in the description below.

311
00:15:18,341 --> 00:15:19,801
It should have everything that you need.

312
00:15:20,051 --> 00:15:24,071
Um, new updates coming out soon will be,
like, you can get more of the YouTube

313
00:15:24,071 --> 00:15:26,111
videos there, not just the podcast videos.

314
00:15:26,371 --> 00:15:31,021
I also have updates coming for,
uh, more notes and stuff, so if you

315
00:15:31,021 --> 00:15:33,881
wanna look at the articles that we're
basing all this off, you can go there.

316
00:15:34,221 --> 00:15:37,751
And, uh, heck, we'll have some
more, I think, stuff in there,

317
00:15:37,811 --> 00:15:39,441
uh, merging in with Patreon.

318
00:15:39,451 --> 00:15:44,421
So yeah, and if you want to support
us, go to patreon.com/offtheconsole.

319
00:15:45,431 --> 00:15:45,801
I think it's…

320
00:15:45,861 --> 00:15:48,101
I don't know if it's forward
slash… Or yeah, /offtheconsole.

321
00:15:48,901 --> 00:15:51,771
But it's Off The Console or
Off The Console Show, but we

322
00:15:51,771 --> 00:15:53,451
should have links, so go do that

323
00:15:53,493 --> 00:15:54,103
Yeah

324
00:15:54,215 --> 00:15:55,195
Yeah, I

325
00:15:55,221 --> 00:16:00,051
And we also, we're also looking to aim,
we're aiming to hit 1,000 subs on YouTube,

326
00:16:00,061 --> 00:16:00,431
so,

327
00:16:00,461 --> 00:16:01,061
close

328
00:16:01,521 --> 00:16:02,071
so close.

329
00:16:02,101 --> 00:16:03,851
Do check us out and help us out

330
00:16:04,107 --> 00:16:04,877
with your friends.

331
00:16:05,127 --> 00:16:08,357
Let us know what we, what you don't
and do like about the podcast.

332
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:11,757
If there's something, like, there's
like some hindrance, uh, I usually

333
00:16:11,757 --> 00:16:13,507
like to save this for the end, but
if there's some hindrance, let us

334
00:16:13,507 --> 00:16:15,047
know and we'll, we'll improve it.

335
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,997
We'll make it your life easier for
listening to the podcast 'cause we love

336
00:16:17,997 --> 00:16:19,397
doing this and we wanna keep on doing it.

337
00:16:20,637 --> 00:16:21,527
Yes

338
00:16:21,967 --> 00:16:27,687
speaking of loving doing and keep
on doing, um, that people love

339
00:16:27,687 --> 00:16:33,577
hacking GTA but Take-Two also loves
destroying people for hacking it.

340
00:16:33,577 --> 00:16:37,087
So it's a, it's a give
and take situation here

341
00:16:39,053 --> 00:16:42,429
So for those who may not have seen
the news this week, uh, G- Rockstar

342
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:48,489
has suffered a GTA VI leak, of which
we don't know the full extent of.

343
00:16:49,289 --> 00:16:52,299
There's a lot of, there, there's a
lot of speculation as to what it is.

344
00:16:52,339 --> 00:16:56,259
At first people thought, oh, it's just
leaked internal footage of the game,

345
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:01,479
but then the guy uploaded a video of him
shooting his name, Leak, on the, uh…

346
00:17:01,889 --> 00:17:04,749
'Cause it's spelled like, his name
is Cyber Leak, like leek as in,

347
00:17:04,749 --> 00:17:06,139
like, the little onion things, right?

348
00:17:06,679 --> 00:17:07,419
L-E-E-K.

349
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:12,169
He took a gun, he spelled out the word
leak with, like, shooting it, and then

350
00:17:12,179 --> 00:17:13,819
that's when people knew it was real shit.

351
00:17:13,929 --> 00:17:15,279
It was some real fucking shit.

352
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,549
And oh, no, i- it's, it's
been one hell of a time, man.

353
00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:26,959
It's gotten to the point where,
uh, Take-Two has actively gone out

354
00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:32,449
and subpoenaed both Microsoft and
Discord, so yeah, if you're o- if

355
00:17:32,449 --> 00:17:35,529
you live in one of those countries
that has forced identification,

356
00:17:36,019 --> 00:17:37,589
they'll have your ID soon enough.

357
00:17:37,629 --> 00:17:40,019
Hopefully they, hopefully
Cyber Leak wasn't dumb enough

358
00:17:40,019 --> 00:17:41,189
to live in a country like that

359
00:17:41,705 --> 00:17:46,045
Here's the thing with leaking and all
that, like, it's like with Valve all over.

360
00:17:46,045 --> 00:17:48,035
So Half-Life 2 was leaked years ago.

361
00:17:48,085 --> 00:17:52,495
They really, like they… And that whole
thing, like to capture the leak, the,

362
00:17:52,525 --> 00:17:57,041
the, the hacker was interesting too, but
From a developer side, they wanna release

363
00:17:57,041 --> 00:17:58,771
it in a, in a package that they want.

364
00:17:58,771 --> 00:18:01,971
They wanna see it, they wanna be excited,
they want control over their own product.

365
00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:02,561
I get it.

366
00:18:03,441 --> 00:18:09,901
I don't condone hacking, and even
with GTA, but, like, I actually

367
00:18:09,931 --> 00:18:12,761
have a hard time feeling bad
for Take-Two and, and for GTA.

368
00:18:12,771 --> 00:18:15,651
It- this is… There's no way that
this is really gonna hurt the game

369
00:18:15,651 --> 00:18:18,471
sales, I guess the game's really bad.

370
00:18:18,471 --> 00:18:20,821
But I don't, I haven't been watching
the leaks or anything like that,

371
00:18:20,821 --> 00:18:22,461
so I cannot say if it is or not.

372
00:18:22,471 --> 00:18:26,181
But, it does suck to get that out
of your control, where you're like,

373
00:18:26,881 --> 00:18:29,941
"This is, we've worked on this. This
is a, this is pa-" Like, and a lot

374
00:18:29,941 --> 00:18:32,931
of engineers and a lot of people
have worked on GTA VI over the years.

375
00:18:32,941 --> 00:18:39,141
So it does suck to have decade-plus
worth of work kinda feel like it goes

376
00:18:39,171 --> 00:18:42,981
out of control, and you don't have
control of how it gets introduced

377
00:18:43,021 --> 00:18:45,931
into the world, even though you
spent all this time on it, right?

378
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:52,491
I just… GTA is like Nintendo
in a lot of ways, where I-- so

379
00:18:52,781 --> 00:18:57,901
litigious, they're so crazy about
it in some form or fashion that…

380
00:18:58,668 --> 00:19:00,948
I would say they're even more litigious,
'cause if you guy- 'cause if you

381
00:19:00,948 --> 00:19:05,228
guys recall, there was actually a
decompilation project for, uh… Not a

382
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:08,978
decompilation project, an open source
re-implementation of the old Take,

383
00:19:09,098 --> 00:19:11,058
uh, Take-Two engines for the, uh,

384
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Да

385
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:13,068
PS2 era GTAs.

386
00:19:13,508 --> 00:19:17,368
They didn't come with any, you
know, source code from the games.

387
00:19:17,368 --> 00:19:20,668
They, yeah, they were, legally
speaking, they would be in the clear.

388
00:19:21,318 --> 00:19:25,158
Whereas, like, Nintendo hasn't taken
down, like, the N64 ones, like for

389
00:19:25,158 --> 00:19:29,533
Super Mario 64 or, uh, you know, God
forbid, Ocarina of Time, you know,

390
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:32,623
those PC recomps, or decomps rather.

391
00:19:32,737 --> 00:19:33,267
Mm-hmm.

392
00:19:33,423 --> 00:19:34,753
Take-Two did

393
00:19:37,569 --> 00:19:41,759
Y- okay, so I'm gonna reframe all this.

394
00:19:42,669 --> 00:19:43,829
Fuck Nintendo.

395
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,129
Fuck Take-Two.

396
00:19:45,743 --> 00:19:46,153
Right

397
00:19:46,459 --> 00:19:52,449
I say this because they have taken
down my videos and stuff where

398
00:19:52,449 --> 00:19:58,669
I've given them f- uh, free p-
um, like, on some of their stuff.

399
00:19:58,669 --> 00:20:02,109
Like, I've, I've streamed
watching trailers for some of the

400
00:20:02,109 --> 00:20:03,639
GTA stuff or, uh, in the past.

401
00:20:04,259 --> 00:20:07,159
Same thing with Nintendo, and
I've b- I've had my stuff struck.

402
00:20:07,489 --> 00:20:08,409
I hate that.

403
00:20:09,239 --> 00:20:10,869
I hate it.

404
00:20:11,249 --> 00:20:12,779
So, uh, fuck them.

405
00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:13,869
That's the, that's my take on this.

406
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,319
In the sense of, like, I'm like,
okay, if you, if, if you wanna be

407
00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:21,489
a little litigious, cool, it's your
product, whatever, but like, uh…

408
00:20:23,449 --> 00:20:25,409
They're, they're way overdue it.

409
00:20:26,339 --> 00:20:32,789
the same way, so F them too, because
I just, I hate that, like, you have

410
00:20:32,789 --> 00:20:37,229
this promotional ad stuff where
it doesn't hurt you to have an-

411
00:20:37,239 --> 00:20:39,569
uh, else talk about it, really.

412
00:20:40,049 --> 00:20:41,129
It can only help.

413
00:20:41,159 --> 00:20:44,479
G- it gives you essentially free
advertising almost, depending

414
00:20:44,479 --> 00:20:45,529
on how they talk about it.

415
00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:52,799
And they, you know, they'll fricking kill
your stream or they'll kill your video.

416
00:20:52,849 --> 00:20:53,729
It's just weird.

417
00:20:54,499 --> 00:20:57,179
Nintendo, yeah, I don't know.

418
00:20:58,509 --> 00:20:59,119
But yeah.

419
00:20:59,299 --> 00:21:02,219
So what, so what, what more
do we need to go on this?

420
00:21:02,219 --> 00:21:05,549
Like, there's so much more with,
uh, this GTA VI stuff, isn't there?

421
00:21:06,313 --> 00:21:06,553
Right.

422
00:21:06,583 --> 00:21:12,783
Like, so probably one of the biggest, uh,
plot twists here is that s- apparently,

423
00:21:12,817 --> 00:21:13,437
and the leak.

424
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:17,963
yes, apparently there's more, there's
more, there's more too, there's more too.

425
00:21:18,453 --> 00:21:23,533
So they announced two, they announced
two accounts, uh, Discord accounts.

426
00:21:24,653 --> 00:21:30,023
They wanna figure out who Cyber Leak,
Cinematic Rockstar, and Surfer24k are.

427
00:21:30,873 --> 00:21:35,083
And these are Discord accounts
too, so Discord may find out soon

428
00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:38,093
enough unless, you know, he- they've
gone out of the way to secure

429
00:21:38,093 --> 00:21:39,853
themselves before any of this, right?

430
00:21:40,859 --> 00:21:41,189
Yeah

431
00:21:42,029 --> 00:21:46,349
Uh, but also there's a contingency
plan in case they do get caught.

432
00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:51,049
Allegedly, word has it, you
can pull up that article I,

433
00:21:51,049 --> 00:21:52,299
uh, linked to you by the way.

434
00:21:52,649 --> 00:21:55,029
This is the one we're
gonna go over it together

435
00:21:57,317 --> 00:22:01,787
They, it's an active GTA 6 build,
and apparently copies have already

436
00:22:01,787 --> 00:22:06,767
been distributed worldwide, and the
public release has to be canceled

437
00:22:06,777 --> 00:22:11,157
manually each day, meaning if Cyber
Leak were to be caught and apprehended,

438
00:22:11,767 --> 00:22:13,357
the public release would go out

439
00:22:16,189 --> 00:22:18,059
Of this, uh, of this leak.

440
00:22:18,919 --> 00:22:20,719
You know how crazy that would
be if that were the case?

441
00:22:22,009 --> 00:22:25,159
I mean, that is a great
way to protect yourself.

442
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:26,179
I- we'll see, though.

443
00:22:26,219 --> 00:22:29,179
I think they're willing to burn down
any… Sometimes when, uh, companies

444
00:22:29,179 --> 00:22:32,169
and people get in these type m- type
of mindsets, they're willing to destroy

445
00:22:32,249 --> 00:22:37,429
everything um, to achieve an, a goal.

446
00:22:37,819 --> 00:22:41,829
So they'd burn down everything to have
that control instead of having it go out.

447
00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:42,249
So

448
00:22:43,815 --> 00:22:47,505
Right The big question though is how
can they, once it's on the internet,

449
00:22:47,515 --> 00:22:52,295
how can they possibly contain the
raging wildfire that is the GTA leak?

450
00:22:52,773 --> 00:22:53,123
I think it'd

451
00:22:53,235 --> 00:22:55,335
this is all, assuming
this is all real, that is

452
00:22:56,203 --> 00:22:56,863
true.

453
00:22:57,723 --> 00:23:02,933
if he's playing the game and has the
source code for it, I'd be shocked if

454
00:23:02,933 --> 00:23:05,973
he doesn't have an easy way to do it.

455
00:23:07,583 --> 00:23:08,353
Potentially.

456
00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:11,313
It really depends on how he's
deciding to, like, I'm assuming

457
00:23:11,323 --> 00:23:13,593
torrents and all that, but yeah

458
00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:17,451
Well, I mean, if he were s- I
mean, he has… It looks like

459
00:23:17,451 --> 00:23:18,511
he has a contingency plan.

460
00:23:18,961 --> 00:23:23,081
Of course, us at Hi- us at Off The
Console probably will not be showing

461
00:23:23,081 --> 00:23:25,461
any footage of the leaks, definitely.

462
00:23:25,811 --> 00:23:28,971
We don't wanna get our asses,
uh, nuked from orbit by Take Two.

463
00:23:29,951 --> 00:23:34,481
And as, as tempting as it would, it
would be to show off the GTA VI leak

464
00:23:34,481 --> 00:23:37,311
on a Steam Machine, I don't know.

465
00:23:37,391 --> 00:23:39,031
I don't think we're gonna be doing that.

466
00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:40,279
Wait,

467
00:23:40,541 --> 00:23:41,901
like having a YouTube channel

468
00:23:42,669 --> 00:23:45,579
is this leak that runs on the PC?

469
00:23:46,585 --> 00:23:48,235
Uh, yes, uh, allegedly.

470
00:23:50,225 --> 00:23:52,455
This is a P- this is the PC leak

471
00:23:53,339 --> 00:23:54,799
The PC doesn't come out for a year

472
00:23:55,845 --> 00:23:58,065
Well, I mean, that doesn't mean
they haven't developed on the PC

473
00:23:58,457 --> 00:24:00,457
No, well, of course it's gonna work fine.

474
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:00,997
Eh, hmm

475
00:24:02,725 --> 00:24:05,915
Remember, Rockstar only delays
it so they can have people

476
00:24:05,915 --> 00:24:07,855
who are impatient double down

477
00:24:08,153 --> 00:24:11,373
I know, but there's no way they're handing
out, uh… There's no way this is leaked

478
00:24:11,373 --> 00:24:16,763
from a, from a dev- like, uh, from an
ear- uh, an early access review copy.

479
00:24:16,813 --> 00:24:17,623
This has gotta be a

480
00:24:17,649 --> 00:24:18,319
No, no, I…

481
00:24:18,353 --> 00:24:18,653
or something

482
00:24:19,329 --> 00:24:19,959
Absolutely.

483
00:24:19,959 --> 00:24:21,299
It probably is an evolved rebuild

484
00:24:21,819 --> 00:24:24,659
It probably came from some of
the people they pissed off, from

485
00:24:24,679 --> 00:24:25,879
some of, some of the developers.

486
00:24:25,879 --> 00:24:26,929
They probably leaked it somehow

487
00:24:27,805 --> 00:24:28,155
Yeah.

488
00:24:28,165 --> 00:24:30,715
Ima- dude, imagine if the
source code got leaked.

489
00:24:31,765 --> 00:24:33,045
That would be insane.

490
00:24:33,095 --> 00:24:35,735
I mean, you couldn't do anything
with it legally speaking, but still

491
00:24:38,893 --> 00:24:39,503
I

492
00:24:40,348 --> 00:24:41,188
Ay, ay, ay

493
00:24:42,691 --> 00:24:43,361
I don't know.

494
00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:48,431
I, I really have a hard time… Like,
I, the more and more, like, I hear

495
00:24:48,431 --> 00:24:54,741
about how Rockstar, I should be, it's
more Rockstar than any- I should-

496
00:24:55,091 --> 00:24:56,431
not Take-Two, but Take-Two obviously.

497
00:24:56,431 --> 00:25:01,731
But Rockstar, the more I hear about
how they treat their employees, how

498
00:25:01,751 --> 00:25:06,021
they just do, they just care about
the cash money, it feels like more

499
00:25:06,031 --> 00:25:12,011
and more, and the way they treat just
everyone else, I just don't care.

500
00:25:12,061 --> 00:25:13,221
I just don't like Rockstar.

501
00:25:13,221 --> 00:25:17,471
I don't like… I'm
not excited for GTA VI.

502
00:25:17,481 --> 00:25:22,321
I'm, I'm not their right demographic,
I always pick up a GTA because I

503
00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:24,841
like to play around with it for
about 10, you know… I don't even

504
00:25:24,841 --> 00:25:27,581
play the story, I just like to play
around in the world for hours on end.

505
00:25:28,081 --> 00:25:34,521
Um, I, I just, they've killed so
much of the hype for me, where I'm

506
00:25:34,521 --> 00:25:38,301
like, "Eh, maybe, maybe I will get
it day one." I, there's so many

507
00:25:38,301 --> 00:25:41,961
other games that came out this year
that I'd much rather play, including

508
00:25:41,971 --> 00:25:44,241
Half-Life 3 coming out soon, right?

509
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:47,433
I mean, the ga- I mean, the
gaming industry was very, very

510
00:25:47,453 --> 00:25:49,763
different when GTA V came out.

511
00:25:50,243 --> 00:25:53,193
Like, it, that was over, it
was over a decade ago, and

512
00:25:53,193 --> 00:25:55,413
like, the industry's changed.

513
00:25:55,423 --> 00:25:56,943
Uh, there used to not be

514
00:25:57,447 --> 00:25:57,907
V came out?

515
00:25:58,157 --> 00:26:00,257
Haven't they, hasn't it been
released like multiple times now?

516
00:26:00,797 --> 00:26:05,377
Yeah, we'll, we'll stick with the original
360 release the first time it came out

517
00:26:05,893 --> 00:26:07,803
Wait, GTA V came out on 360?

518
00:26:07,803 --> 00:26:07,813
That's

519
00:26:09,213 --> 00:26:10,383
PS3, 360.

520
00:26:10,383 --> 00:26:13,153
Yeah, it was a Xbox 360 era game, yes.

521
00:26:13,435 --> 00:26:13,945
Yeah.

522
00:26:14,613 --> 00:26:20,283
The game, the games industry wasn't a…
Dude, the PS4 didn't have a GTA game.

523
00:26:20,323 --> 00:26:21,373
Is that not crazy?

524
00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:23,027
Didn't they

525
00:26:23,033 --> 00:26:23,413
I mean

526
00:26:23,717 --> 00:26:24,877
it for the G- for the PS4?

527
00:26:24,877 --> 00:26:24,927
But it

528
00:26:24,933 --> 00:26:28,223
th- they did, they did, but
not, not like a brand new… No,

529
00:26:28,263 --> 00:26:30,093
not a brand new GTA game, no.

530
00:26:30,143 --> 00:26:30,383
Pe-

531
00:26:32,305 --> 00:26:32,435
That's

532
00:26:32,523 --> 00:26:36,093
And this is, like, the end of the, this
is, like, the end of the fifth generation,

533
00:26:36,283 --> 00:26:38,973
uh, the PS5 era of consoles I should say

534
00:26:39,221 --> 00:26:42,621
I say it's crazy is that they have
the money to do it, that they could

535
00:26:42,621 --> 00:26:43,621
release a little bit more often.

536
00:26:43,671 --> 00:26:48,401
I really think they were just
cash cowing the, uh, GTA Online.

537
00:26:49,021 --> 00:26:52,041
Like, they make billions
off that every year

538
00:26:52,761 --> 00:26:53,231
Yes.

539
00:26:53,241 --> 00:26:55,631
And now they get to make
billions off of this.

540
00:26:56,301 --> 00:27:00,771
Now, I don't really think the leaks will
greatly affect sales, and if anything,

541
00:27:00,771 --> 00:27:02,161
I'm guessing it's gonna butter it up.

542
00:27:02,181 --> 00:27:05,881
Remember there's still that, uh,
there's still that, uh, gameplay,

543
00:27:06,111 --> 00:27:08,191
extended gameplay release on Netflix.

544
00:27:08,191 --> 00:27:08,871
Remember that

545
00:27:09,093 --> 00:27:09,753
How did that go?

546
00:27:09,753 --> 00:27:10,603
I didn't watch it

547
00:27:11,471 --> 00:27:13,371
Um, that's not until Monday

548
00:27:14,051 --> 00:27:16,011
Oh, I thought it was already happened.

549
00:27:16,021 --> 00:27:16,371
Oh.

550
00:27:16,461 --> 00:27:16,701
Well,

551
00:27:17,295 --> 00:27:17,735
No.

552
00:27:18,105 --> 00:27:18,395
Every-

553
00:27:18,445 --> 00:27:22,755
but, but, no one, no one gives a fuck
'cause everyone watched it on, uh,

554
00:27:22,825 --> 00:27:24,245
everyone watched the leaks already

555
00:27:25,097 --> 00:27:25,457
Yep.

556
00:27:26,197 --> 00:27:26,517
I,

557
00:27:26,575 --> 00:27:27,225
They did

558
00:27:27,777 --> 00:27:28,747
I don't, I don't know.

559
00:27:28,797 --> 00:27:30,647
Like, don't get, yeah, don't get me wrong.

560
00:27:30,677 --> 00:27:35,327
I don't… Like, for me, it's, I think
they're hurting their game sales,

561
00:27:35,327 --> 00:27:37,967
I think, on the PC side of things,
'cause I think the PC gamers care more.

562
00:27:38,167 --> 00:27:41,087
I think console gamers, I think
this will sell, like, crazy.

563
00:27:41,669 --> 00:27:42,439
Well, yeah, of course

564
00:27:43,187 --> 00:27:47,087
of course, you know, but, like,
I, I don't know if this is

565
00:27:47,087 --> 00:27:48,767
actually gonna hurt their sales.

566
00:27:48,897 --> 00:27:51,407
Which is kinda funny too that
they're being so litigious about it.

567
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:53,343
I don't think it's gonna hurt their sales.

568
00:27:53,743 --> 00:27:59,803
I think if anything, unless, yeah, unless,
unless they did the… Unless Cyber

569
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:05,573
League did the, the incre- like something
crazy like spoil the ending of GTA VI.

570
00:28:06,803 --> 00:28:07,123
'Cause

571
00:28:07,171 --> 00:28:07,881
it would ruin it

572
00:28:09,711 --> 00:28:12,731
I think if he, I think if they,
if, I think there were like work

573
00:28:12,731 --> 00:28:15,551
in progress cut scenes with like
voice acting, I think it might.

574
00:28:15,771 --> 00:28:20,471
'Cause I think a lot of people would…
Like, 'cause we don't know what, we

575
00:28:20,471 --> 00:28:21,671
don't know what kind of build he has.

576
00:28:21,671 --> 00:28:24,601
It could be a, it could, for all we know,
it could be a vertical build, right?

577
00:28:24,601 --> 00:28:25,821
It could be a vertical slice.

578
00:28:26,171 --> 00:28:27,501
It could be a vertical slice, which

579
00:28:27,591 --> 00:28:30,731
But it could also, but it could
also be like a, but it could, but it

580
00:28:30,731 --> 00:28:34,321
could also be like in a pretty far
in development version of GTA VI.

581
00:28:34,331 --> 00:28:37,851
Maybe not like a, maybe not like a
fully polished one, but like a feature

582
00:28:37,851 --> 00:28:39,501
complete version of the game almost.

583
00:28:39,877 --> 00:28:40,837
Should I ask Grok?

584
00:28:41,107 --> 00:28:41,567
No, I'm just kidding

585
00:28:43,331 --> 00:28:46,331
If, if that's the case, then
he would probably have access

586
00:28:46,331 --> 00:28:51,271
to the story missions, the cut
scenes, et cetera, et cetera.

587
00:28:51,881 --> 00:28:58,541
And if it got leaked, then like I, I, I
would be, I would be willing to bet you it

588
00:28:58,541 --> 00:29:03,601
would impact the, uh, sales significantly,
especially if people hated the story.

589
00:29:03,621 --> 00:29:08,721
Like remember, remember, um, The
Last of Us Part II had story leaks,

590
00:29:08,931 --> 00:29:13,031
significant cut scene leaks, and it
turned out they were all correct.

591
00:29:14,571 --> 00:29:18,591
It turns out it played out almost exactly
the same as it did, uh, in the game

592
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:23,169
Mm, yeah, but a lot of the people, like
a lot of the narratives going around was

593
00:29:23,169 --> 00:29:28,219
like, uh, there's a trans person, but
all this other stuff where it's like, no.

594
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:34,599
Like, the, the, the worst part
about, uh, um, The Last of Us II was

595
00:29:34,609 --> 00:29:36,939
all the misinformation around it.

596
00:29:37,779 --> 00:29:41,429
you're not wrong, like, uh, but the
leaks were also correct, but then

597
00:29:42,379 --> 00:29:47,029
pro- propagated it out with tons
of misinformation, and I think that

598
00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:51,299
did hurt sales, um, on of Us II.

599
00:29:51,329 --> 00:29:54,289
I don't think it hurt it enough
to, like, not make a third.

600
00:29:54,849 --> 00:30:00,469
Um, Last of Us Part II was really good,
actually, just some annoying parts to it.

601
00:30:00,859 --> 00:30:02,039
But yeah.

602
00:30:02,373 --> 00:30:04,833
B- yeah, but GTA,

603
00:30:04,833 --> 00:30:04,923
it,

604
00:30:04,923 --> 00:30:05,383
It it's a different

605
00:30:05,383 --> 00:30:06,043
story with GT.

606
00:30:06,083 --> 00:30:07,623
This is, this is Grand Theft Auto.

607
00:30:07,623 --> 00:30:09,103
This is not The Last of Us

608
00:30:09,129 --> 00:30:10,179
This is not The Last of Us.

609
00:30:10,179 --> 00:30:18,209
I don't think there's gonna be… I think
both people and bigots are going to be

610
00:30:18,209 --> 00:30:21,929
buying this for, 'cause they're, what,
don't they have, like, pride parades?

611
00:30:21,929 --> 00:30:24,549
I think one side's gonna be
murking everyone, the other

612
00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:25,619
one's gonna be participating.

613
00:30:26,029 --> 00:30:30,259
I think, I think everyone's gonna be
buying this that are console gamers,

614
00:30:30,259 --> 00:30:32,489
people that don't really care, right?

615
00:30:32,499 --> 00:30:34,759
Even if they see the ending, whatever.

616
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:38,709
I think people play Grand Theft
Auto partially for the world,

617
00:30:38,829 --> 00:30:42,159
the world-building, um, not
necessarily for the story.

618
00:30:42,159 --> 00:30:45,759
So even the, if the
story's bad, won't ruin it.

619
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:51,269
Where Last of Us Part II is
very atmospheric and it ha- it's

620
00:30:51,269 --> 00:30:57,099
very world-building, but is, uh,
essentially a f- a little bit

621
00:30:57,099 --> 00:30:59,439
of a fancy movie at times, so

622
00:31:00,189 --> 00:31:04,779
So I have seen some of, I, I have seen
some of these leaks, and I will say

623
00:31:05,569 --> 00:31:10,879
they look… It, it kind of just looks
like GTA V but with better graphics.

624
00:31:11,109 --> 00:31:14,929
I'm sure people like G- I mean, people
like GTA V, but it doesn't look like

625
00:31:14,939 --> 00:31:17,429
it's a cataclysmic shift in gameplay

626
00:31:18,083 --> 00:31:19,453
Well, well the trailers made it look like.

627
00:31:20,605 --> 00:31:21,665
The trailers?

628
00:31:22,055 --> 00:31:23,485
We haven't seen… Nah.

629
00:31:24,035 --> 00:31:24,655
Well, I don't know

630
00:31:24,763 --> 00:31:28,613
gameplay, but I'm saying trailers make it
s- feel and s- seem like they're gonna be

631
00:31:29,625 --> 00:31:35,025
I, no, I, well, I think, well, I
think that's mostly just other people

632
00:31:35,045 --> 00:31:38,655
AI generating, like, a fucking life
sim, 'cause people are probably

633
00:31:38,655 --> 00:31:41,595
walking in thinking that this is
gonna be some sort of crazy life sim.

634
00:31:42,035 --> 00:31:42,855
It's not.

635
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:45,115
It's just fucking Grand Theft Auto.

636
00:31:45,467 --> 00:31:45,707
That's

637
00:31:45,755 --> 00:31:46,045
And I,

638
00:31:46,057 --> 00:31:46,387
I mean,

639
00:31:46,515 --> 00:31:46,945
and I'm

640
00:31:46,997 --> 00:31:50,207
could do that, I might
be down for a GTA VI.

641
00:31:50,217 --> 00:31:54,827
I want something that's like
GTA V but just it is next level.

642
00:31:54,907 --> 00:31:58,617
But I don't want, I don't like,
I don't mind saving and then

643
00:31:58,627 --> 00:32:02,657
doing, you know, destroying half
the city but then reloading.

644
00:32:02,667 --> 00:32:06,077
Like, uh, you know, we all
did it as teens in GTA, but

645
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:10,659
I think this is gonna be the first…
This is gonna be the, the, the

646
00:32:10,659 --> 00:32:13,829
expectations are fucking sky high, man.

647
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:17,469
Like, like, the, like, the, this
is gonna be the next best… This

648
00:32:17,469 --> 00:32:20,219
is gonna be the best thing to
happen since fucking sliced bread.

649
00:32:20,763 --> 00:32:24,303
This is the most hyped game in a long time

650
00:32:25,191 --> 00:32:28,471
Like, like I remember the la- the
last game I heard this much hype over

651
00:32:28,471 --> 00:32:32,071
was fucking Halo 3 back in the day.

652
00:32:32,771 --> 00:32:35,171
It feels like Halo 3's coming out again

653
00:32:35,845 --> 00:32:41,855
I think, I don't know, in my realm
of the world, I think this is, uh,

654
00:32:41,875 --> 00:32:46,185
like Half-Life 3 kind of levels,
but Half-Life 3 has never been fully

655
00:32:46,185 --> 00:32:48,155
confirmed it's being worked on, so

656
00:32:48,971 --> 00:32:51,421
It's been confirmed that it's
been canceled a few times,

657
00:32:51,475 --> 00:32:51,825
I,

658
00:32:51,931 --> 00:32:53,511
it's Half-Life 2: Episode 3

659
00:32:53,995 --> 00:32:55,945
and hopium that's doing it,
and it's a m- smaller group.

660
00:32:55,955 --> 00:32:57,615
GTA has been announced.

661
00:32:57,615 --> 00:32:58,895
It's, they've been talking about it.

662
00:32:59,835 --> 00:33:03,605
although they've been really
bad at actually showcasing

663
00:33:03,635 --> 00:33:04,735
anything about the game.

664
00:33:05,575 --> 00:33:08,365
Um, it's interesting.

665
00:33:09,061 --> 00:33:12,981
I mean, there's a reasonable…
I mean, we still don't know

666
00:33:12,981 --> 00:33:16,971
anything about HLX, I think it
was, that we're looking at, right?

667
00:33:17,214 --> 00:33:18,504
HLX, uh, Half-Life,

668
00:33:18,608 --> 00:33:21,098
Or Half-Life, or Half-Life,
you know, Half-Life X

669
00:33:21,662 --> 00:33:25,092
Half, the Half-Life X, which is
could be gr- uh, Half-Life 3.

670
00:33:25,102 --> 00:33:27,213
It's a co- I think a code
name right now, but yeah

671
00:33:27,399 --> 00:33:27,909
I mean, I don't know.

672
00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:30,619
I don't, I don't, I don't know
what it's gonna be because quite

673
00:33:30,629 --> 00:33:31,809
frankly they've given us nothing.

674
00:33:31,819 --> 00:33:36,809
We- So it's hard to say it's Half-Life
3 levels of hype because we don't know

675
00:33:36,809 --> 00:33:39,389
if it's even a thing really for certain.

676
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:44,159
It's not like, it's not like Silksong
where Silksong was definitely confirmed

677
00:33:44,462 --> 00:33:44,902
Yeah.

678
00:33:44,979 --> 00:33:47,319
and definitely was said to be in…

679
00:33:47,369 --> 00:33:49,299
Yeah, there, there was a
lot of hype around that.

680
00:33:50,349 --> 00:33:54,229
If fe- But like genuinely speaking,
this is like a massive multi… Everyone

681
00:33:54,229 --> 00:33:57,359
wants to get away from fucking GTA VI.

682
00:33:58,648 --> 00:33:58,858
Get

683
00:33:58,999 --> 00:34:02,609
And like, in terms of like release
dates, 'cause everyone's fucking

684
00:34:02,609 --> 00:34:03,799
releasing on their own date.

685
00:34:03,959 --> 00:34:04,179
Like,

686
00:34:04,199 --> 00:34:04,909
they're bl-

687
00:34:05,662 --> 00:34:09,282
I can almost guarantee, I'd put good
money that this will be the biggest

688
00:34:09,282 --> 00:34:12,092
release date or release of any game ever

689
00:34:13,273 --> 00:34:13,913
Absolutely.

690
00:34:13,913 --> 00:34:14,463
I think so.

691
00:34:14,473 --> 00:34:18,273
This is giving, like this gives me the
same goosebu- like fucking Iron Man.

692
00:34:18,363 --> 00:34:21,233
Oh man, Halo 3 was like the shit, man.

693
00:34:21,253 --> 00:34:23,693
You guys reme- you guys
remember the Halo 3 launch?

694
00:34:25,038 --> 00:34:25,628
Yeah, it was,

695
00:34:25,805 --> 00:34:26,095
I was

696
00:34:26,108 --> 00:34:28,058
it launched on 360?

697
00:34:28,689 --> 00:34:30,229
It was 360 exclusive, yes.

698
00:34:30,529 --> 00:34:31,219
Obviously

699
00:34:31,408 --> 00:34:34,168
it, 'cause Halo 1 and
2 were on Xbox, right?

700
00:34:34,178 --> 00:34:36,028
And then the Xbox 360 was 3?

701
00:34:36,817 --> 00:34:37,467
Yes

702
00:34:37,618 --> 00:34:38,008
Yeah, okay.

703
00:34:38,148 --> 00:34:38,798
Yeah, I played it.

704
00:34:38,848 --> 00:34:43,228
Um, I played it I think we got
authorization to play it like an hour or

705
00:34:43,228 --> 00:34:46,408
two before it released it at the mall.

706
00:34:46,498 --> 00:34:48,108
I worked at a GameStop and so

707
00:34:48,601 --> 00:34:50,501
Wow, you lucky son of a bitch

708
00:34:50,688 --> 00:34:51,398
It was cool.

709
00:34:52,601 --> 00:34:57,791
Dude, it, it was… Dude, it's giving
me g- Like, GTA VI gives me the same

710
00:34:57,791 --> 00:35:01,901
vibes, but, like, that it's gonna be
like a fucking midnight release kind

711
00:35:01,901 --> 00:35:04,271
of party, you know, Halo 3 style.

712
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:04,910
I

713
00:35:04,951 --> 00:35:05,281
But

714
00:35:05,350 --> 00:35:05,570
Halo

715
00:35:05,691 --> 00:35:05,941
I,

716
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,480
We

717
00:35:06,561 --> 00:35:07,271
wish… Yeah.

718
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:07,870
3

719
00:35:08,611 --> 00:35:11,001
Dude, we do need a new Halo 3, man.

720
00:35:11,391 --> 00:35:13,521
Fucking 343 fucked up everything.

721
00:35:14,171 --> 00:35:14,371
I,

722
00:35:14,461 --> 00:35:17,071
I mean sorry Halo Studios
fucked up everything

723
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,120
I don't think was doing a
great job with it either, so

724
00:35:23,129 --> 00:35:26,429
Well, I mean, Bungie did their own thing.

725
00:35:26,429 --> 00:35:28,429
They wanted to do something else,
and I think that's perfectly fine

726
00:35:28,882 --> 00:35:31,502
I'm just saying, like, I
don't know if anyone was gonna

727
00:35:31,502 --> 00:35:33,692
pick that up well enough and

728
00:35:33,721 --> 00:35:34,211
I think

729
00:35:34,232 --> 00:35:35,292
beat expectations.

730
00:35:35,292 --> 00:35:36,932
I think it was a really hard IP

731
00:35:38,555 --> 00:35:41,905
I think Bungie might
have had a better shot.

732
00:35:42,125 --> 00:35:42,615
I mean,

733
00:35:43,535 --> 00:35:43,965
but

734
00:35:44,345 --> 00:35:45,805
they, but they w- ended up making

735
00:35:45,926 --> 00:35:46,426
that they made?

736
00:35:46,436 --> 00:35:48,796
Wasn't it Four, or am
I… Oh, no, that was…

737
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:49,783
No, that was

738
00:35:49,976 --> 00:35:51,086
It was 343.

739
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:53,303
No, the fir- last one
they made was Halo Reach

740
00:35:53,876 --> 00:35:55,686
The last one was Reach, which

741
00:35:55,707 --> 00:36:00,487
made Halo 1, 2, 3, 3 ODST, and Reach

742
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,340
They really went weird.

743
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:02,680
Like,

744
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:05,090
Yeah.

745
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,010
mm, yeah.

746
00:36:09,930 --> 00:36:15,090
l- I appreciate Halo, but I
honestly, story-wise, I don't know.

747
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:16,510
I'd never finished Halo 4,

748
00:36:17,657 --> 00:36:17,707
I

749
00:36:17,707 --> 00:36:18,337
mean, they don't need it

750
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:21,070
that much different than 3, but

751
00:36:21,167 --> 00:36:21,957
I mean, you're on YouTube, man.

752
00:36:21,967 --> 00:36:22,427
If you have the ma-

753
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,960
very blasphemous.

754
00:36:25,521 --> 00:36:29,251
Dude, if you have the Master Chief
Collection, you already have one of the

755
00:36:29,251 --> 00:36:32,671
greatest trilogies in gaming and Halo 4

756
00:36:35,414 --> 00:36:35,624
And

757
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,579
actually, and Halo.

758
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:39,179
Yeah, 'cause yeah, it's in there.

759
00:36:39,179 --> 00:36:42,989
It's Halo 1, 2… It's all the
games I mentioned and Halo 4

760
00:36:43,374 --> 00:36:44,484
So it's all okay.

761
00:36:44,554 --> 00:36:45,574
I don't think I, I have

762
00:36:45,593 --> 00:36:48,173
Everything, everything before Halo 5.

763
00:36:49,433 --> 00:36:51,803
And honestly, I, I kind of, this
is gonna sound blasphemous too, but

764
00:36:51,803 --> 00:36:53,763
I kinda like Halo 5's multiplayer.

765
00:36:54,273 --> 00:36:56,903
The, uh, single player was
ass, don't get me wrong.

766
00:36:57,253 --> 00:37:01,823
The single player was horrible, though
easily the worst Halo campaign of all time

767
00:37:03,264 --> 00:37:03,924
Oh, look at that.

768
00:37:03,924 --> 00:37:05,264
Yeah, it is everything.

769
00:37:05,354 --> 00:37:07,354
I didn't even, I don't even think…
I thought it was just the three games.

770
00:37:08,274 --> 00:37:10,844
I have not beat the collection yet.

771
00:37:10,974 --> 00:37:11,084
I

772
00:37:11,235 --> 00:37:16,065
yeah, so they add, they a- they added
Halo ODST and Reach after the fact.

773
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:16,630
Oh.

774
00:37:16,765 --> 00:37:17,005
So it

775
00:37:17,005 --> 00:37:17,235
used,

776
00:37:17,275 --> 00:37:22,405
it used to be just it used to be just
the four games, Halo one through four

777
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:28,860
I've always been w- uh, like Halo is my
multiplayer LAN, like my LAN like days.

778
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:32,670
Like we'd, we'd hook up all like
Xboxes or 360s and we'd play Halo.

779
00:37:32,830 --> 00:37:33,400
That was

780
00:37:33,969 --> 00:37:34,519
Yo.

781
00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:34,990
for me

782
00:37:36,249 --> 00:37:41,089
Ah, well, I don't know, but there's
gonna be new games being announced

783
00:37:41,099 --> 00:37:43,649
sometime very soon, in fact

784
00:37:44,832 --> 00:37:47,712
New games being announced for Halo?

785
00:37:48,665 --> 00:37:51,495
No, at Gamescom, it's in three days

786
00:37:53,718 --> 00:37:54,898
Wait, we're talking about Gamescom?

787
00:37:55,537 --> 00:37:56,167
You know what you, the…

788
00:37:56,168 --> 00:37:56,218
were talking about the

789
00:37:56,957 --> 00:37:58,237
I thought you, oh, you skipped it.

790
00:37:58,447 --> 00:38:01,007
Uh, well, I was gonna say
Gamescom comes out in three days.

791
00:38:01,387 --> 00:38:04,307
We don't know who's gonna be there, or
actually we probably already do, but

792
00:38:04,307 --> 00:38:05,637
we don't know what's gonna be there.

793
00:38:06,477 --> 00:38:07,437
It's gonna be sick.

794
00:38:07,737 --> 00:38:08,597
Three days.

795
00:38:09,327 --> 00:38:12,487
We're gonna talk about it
next week for certain, and our

796
00:38:12,487 --> 00:38:13,517
favorite announcements there.

797
00:38:13,537 --> 00:38:16,387
But, uh, I mean, that's basically all
the news there is about it right now.

798
00:38:16,967 --> 00:38:19,947
Let's go on to the other big
news that's happening on Monday,

799
00:38:20,502 --> 00:38:20,772
Wait, what's

800
00:38:20,797 --> 00:38:21,837
Val.

801
00:38:21,842 --> 00:38:22,292
Sorry.

802
00:38:22,977 --> 00:38:23,307
What?

803
00:38:23,452 --> 00:38:25,712
Legends Retold, is it
like a remake or is it…

804
00:38:26,287 --> 00:38:27,517
I think it is a remake.

805
00:38:27,567 --> 00:38:29,797
Uh, it came out already, I think

806
00:38:30,392 --> 00:38:32,362
Rayman Legends, yeah.

807
00:38:32,492 --> 00:38:34,122
Oh, so the Retold al- already came out.

808
00:38:34,132 --> 00:38:37,452
I, I know that Rayman Legends,
like I love that game, but yeah.

809
00:38:37,632 --> 00:38:37,922
Huh

810
00:38:39,303 --> 00:38:40,413
Yes, but

811
00:38:40,442 --> 00:38:40,662
Okay

812
00:38:40,783 --> 00:38:43,533
I think this news is more
pertinent to you, my friend

813
00:38:44,008 --> 00:38:44,448
I know.

814
00:38:44,448 --> 00:38:46,248
I, I apologize for
throwing off your groove.

815
00:38:46,308 --> 00:38:46,708
Okay.

816
00:38:48,248 --> 00:38:48,408
Oop.

817
00:38:49,691 --> 00:38:52,541
Valve's 30th anniversary

818
00:38:53,396 --> 00:38:56,236
Valve is turning 30 and they
don't look a day over 20

819
00:38:57,915 --> 00:39:01,485
Gabe Newell doesn't look a day over 60.

820
00:39:02,705 --> 00:39:05,025
He looks qu- he looks quite good.

821
00:39:05,025 --> 00:39:05,455
Look at that

822
00:39:08,401 --> 00:39:09,431
Dude, look at, dude, look at…

823
00:39:10,050 --> 00:39:10,600
I know.

824
00:39:11,521 --> 00:39:12,741
Look at the comments on YouTube.

825
00:39:12,831 --> 00:39:13,101
He's,

826
00:39:13,231 --> 00:39:13,861
like 63.

827
00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:14,660
in his 60s?

828
00:39:15,411 --> 00:39:16,391
Yeah, he's in his 60s.

829
00:39:16,391 --> 00:39:18,081
He's, he's still got
some life left in him,

830
00:39:18,446 --> 00:39:18,836
Yeah

831
00:39:18,891 --> 00:39:20,361
and he looks good.

832
00:39:20,541 --> 00:39:21,371
He's gone, he's

833
00:39:22,358 --> 00:39:25,448
I know he's been working out and
everything, but there's als- yeah

834
00:39:26,225 --> 00:39:27,635
Yeah, he scuba dives every day, man.

835
00:39:27,635 --> 00:39:29,335
That shit, that shit ain't easy

836
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:31,142
That's true.

837
00:39:31,142 --> 00:39:35,712
He scuba- like his work, work is he
gets up, does stuff that he needs to

838
00:39:35,712 --> 00:39:39,112
do for work in the morning, 'cause
he's always on his, his flotillas.

839
00:39:39,872 --> 00:39:43,012
He goes scuba diving, maybe he goes scuba
dive in beginning, and then he takes

840
00:39:43,012 --> 00:39:44,832
a break at lunch, goes scuba diving,

841
00:39:45,329 --> 00:39:46,499
I think he plays Dota

842
00:39:46,982 --> 00:39:47,992
Yeah, he plays Dota 2

843
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:51,049
2. Dude, it's cr- Dota
2's the game he plays.

844
00:39:51,059 --> 00:39:52,119
That's insane to me

845
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,840
I think it is too, and I, and
then this is part of the reason

846
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,220
maybe I'm a little jealous.

847
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,920
Like, I feel like it's the child that gets
all the attention is Dota from him, where

848
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,730
I'm like, "No, no, you gotta, you gotta,
you gotta, you gotta take care of the

849
00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:10,160
other children." Portal, Half-Life, we,
we have other children being neglected,

850
00:40:10,789 --> 00:40:14,779
Counter-Strike is neglected
compared to Dota 2, let's be honest

851
00:40:15,190 --> 00:40:20,180
I like Counter… Don't get me wrong, I
like Counter-Strike, but I'm kinda over it

852
00:40:20,747 --> 00:40:21,187
Right.

853
00:40:21,287 --> 00:40:22,127
So you c-

854
00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:22,660
I don't know

855
00:40:23,847 --> 00:40:26,987
So it looks like they're
always hiring, evidently

856
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:31,070
N- they, they are always hiring
because what, how they, how Valve

857
00:40:31,070 --> 00:40:35,840
works is that look for the best,
and if they feel like… 'Cause

858
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,940
they, they have so much money.

859
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,550
They, if they feel like you
could be an asset on the

860
00:40:39,550 --> 00:40:42,050
team, oftentimes hire someone.

861
00:40:42,820 --> 00:40:44,690
Now, ooh, this is gonna-

862
00:40:45,081 --> 00:40:46,601
I could be an ass in Unvalve.

863
00:40:46,781 --> 00:40:48,241
I can be the best.

864
00:40:48,251 --> 00:40:49,501
I'm hyper-competent.

865
00:40:50,201 --> 00:40:51,761
That's all you need to
know, Mr. Gabe Newell

866
00:40:52,142 --> 00:40:56,722
It's, I mean, I, been an
engineer for 15 years.

867
00:40:56,992 --> 00:41:01,112
Uh, albeit I'm only, I only do game
development on the side, and maybe once

868
00:41:01,112 --> 00:41:02,672
I have my first game released maybe.

869
00:41:02,672 --> 00:41:09,072
But like, I do not feel like I'd be
competent enough to… That's why

870
00:41:09,072 --> 00:41:10,552
I've not applied at Valve before.

871
00:41:11,422 --> 00:41:14,062
maybe there's been one
time w- a long time ago.

872
00:41:14,172 --> 00:41:19,812
Like, I feel like I would do better
if I was working on his, uh, and

873
00:41:19,812 --> 00:41:22,902
we've mentioned this joke a lot,
but like on his yachts as a janitor

874
00:41:22,902 --> 00:41:24,292
I feel like I'd be more qualified

875
00:41:25,237 --> 00:41:26,207
Dude, come on, man.

876
00:41:26,307 --> 00:41:27,527
Have faith in yourself, man.

877
00:41:27,697 --> 00:41:31,737
Apply to Valve, get hired, and
don't forget about us when you do

878
00:41:32,164 --> 00:41:35,104
if, uh, if I went and worked at
Valve, this is the big part of it,

879
00:41:35,104 --> 00:41:38,424
is like I could probably work really
hard, get a good portfolio maybe.

880
00:41:39,454 --> 00:41:43,204
'Cause that's what it really takes,
having a really good portfolio, having,

881
00:41:43,244 --> 00:41:47,084
uh, really show that you're passionate
and that you know what you're doing.

882
00:41:48,304 --> 00:41:49,894
I think a lot of people could get there.

883
00:41:49,964 --> 00:41:51,154
It just takes a lot of work.

884
00:41:52,714 --> 00:41:56,304
My problem is if I did that, I'd have
to drop everything else I'm working on.

885
00:41:56,494 --> 00:41:57,984
So multiple Deck

886
00:41:58,109 --> 00:41:58,519
I mean

887
00:41:58,564 --> 00:42:00,304
working on, multiple games I'm working on.

888
00:42:00,344 --> 00:42:03,774
Uh, I don't think, I don't know if I'd
be able to do this podcast because it

889
00:42:03,774 --> 00:42:05,674
would require so much dedication, I think.

890
00:42:05,684 --> 00:42:08,604
I'm not saying that they'd
overwork me, but oh my gosh

891
00:42:09,871 --> 00:42:10,911
Well, we shall see.

892
00:42:10,961 --> 00:42:14,601
We shall see what happens, uh,
if you were to, say, be hired.

893
00:42:14,781 --> 00:42:15,551
Honestly, man,

894
00:42:15,980 --> 00:42:16,640
Maybe I should try it

895
00:42:17,251 --> 00:42:19,081
you should try it on your own time.

896
00:42:19,601 --> 00:42:21,781
So we do have to talk
about the 30th annivers-

897
00:42:21,998 --> 00:42:23,008
I can't do it right now?

898
00:42:23,328 --> 00:42:23,818
Wow

899
00:42:24,131 --> 00:42:25,821
no, we got a podcast to do

900
00:42:26,122 --> 00:42:27,422
Okay, let's get back to it

901
00:42:28,241 --> 00:42:30,811
So you got a 30, you got a… So
what do you think they're gonna do

902
00:42:30,811 --> 00:42:32,431
for the 30th anniversary on Monday?

903
00:42:32,741 --> 00:42:36,011
Are they gonna re- are they
gonna announce Half-Life 3?

904
00:42:37,141 --> 00:42:37,931
How to fish?

905
00:42:37,931 --> 00:42:39,021
What the fuck is that?

906
00:42:42,094 --> 00:42:42,584
You sh- you sh-

907
00:42:42,799 --> 00:42:42,959
I just got Worf

908
00:42:43,554 --> 00:42:44,574
yeah, let's see.

909
00:42:45,684 --> 00:42:50,624
Half, oh, Half-Life 3.

910
00:42:51,794 --> 00:42:52,234
Nothing.

911
00:42:52,664 --> 00:42:53,514
Half-Life: A Place

912
00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:55,629
A Place in the West, Chapter 3.

913
00:42:55,629 --> 00:42:57,359
What the fuck is that?

914
00:42:59,034 --> 00:42:59,694
I don't know.

915
00:42:59,754 --> 00:43:03,874
It's, there's a lot of different
indie games that are allowed

916
00:43:03,874 --> 00:43:05,324
to use Half-Life, I think.

917
00:43:06,744 --> 00:43:08,764
S- this is probably, let's see.

918
00:43:08,774 --> 00:43:11,694
In a devastated America,
sinister commandos are kidnap-

919
00:43:12,024 --> 00:43:13,124
oh my goodness, children

920
00:43:13,201 --> 00:43:13,601
Is this even…

921
00:43:13,654 --> 00:43:13,794
to

922
00:43:14,191 --> 00:43:14,511
Hold on.

923
00:43:14,521 --> 00:43:18,861
It's not even a game, it's a
fan comic, and it's on Steam

924
00:43:19,796 --> 00:43:21,016
Interesting.

925
00:43:21,773 --> 00:43:22,223
I wonder

926
00:43:22,286 --> 00:43:24,156
it's definitely the Half-Life universe

927
00:43:25,017 --> 00:43:28,897
I wonder if anyone's taken a crack
at making a Half-Life fighting game.

928
00:43:32,334 --> 00:43:32,684
That

929
00:43:32,857 --> 00:43:32,867
do

930
00:43:33,904 --> 00:43:34,914
would be interesting.

931
00:43:34,944 --> 00:43:39,714
It's… But the problem with Half-Life
fighting games, like, creatures,

932
00:43:40,684 --> 00:43:44,854
these guys would be OP, and Freeman

933
00:43:44,977 --> 00:43:45,777
it'd be it'd be,

934
00:43:46,244 --> 00:43:48,314
his suit, and guns

935
00:43:48,977 --> 00:43:50,947
Dude, no, it's called balancing, man.

936
00:43:51,597 --> 00:43:53,897
You think, you think Batman
w- you think Batman would beat

937
00:43:53,897 --> 00:43:55,037
Superman in a straight fight?

938
00:43:55,502 --> 00:43:59,652
Yeah, but they, their balancing
was everyone got special Superman

939
00:43:59,652 --> 00:44:01,642
powers for those games, right?

940
00:44:02,703 --> 00:44:03,023
Right.

941
00:44:03,073 --> 00:44:03,363
All right.

942
00:44:03,393 --> 00:44:05,313
Well, let me, let, let's
do, let's do Marvel.

943
00:44:05,603 --> 00:44:10,303
Do you think Captain America would ever
beat Thor in a f- in a straight fight?

944
00:44:11,264 --> 00:44:13,384
Uh, yes, no.

945
00:44:13,634 --> 00:44:15,834
No, you're, you're not wrong,
but at least there's, there's

946
00:44:15,834 --> 00:44:17,134
like some equivalencies there.

947
00:44:17,414 --> 00:44:19,194
The, the, I'm … Don't
get me wrong, it'd be fun.

948
00:44:19,274 --> 00:44:20,034
I'm down for it.

949
00:44:20,234 --> 00:44:23,114
I'll stop, uh, spoiling your fun on this.

950
00:44:23,144 --> 00:44:23,924
I, I'm down.

951
00:44:23,964 --> 00:44:24,384
Let's do it.

952
00:44:24,424 --> 00:44:25,994
I, any- anything to get more Half-Life

953
00:44:26,801 --> 00:44:30,391
And also, also speculation suggests
that we may be getting a Frame

954
00:44:30,391 --> 00:44:32,281
announcement on that Monday as well

955
00:44:32,912 --> 00:44:38,382
I think that's pro- I mean, I feel like
it would kinda spoil it 'cause, like,

956
00:44:38,632 --> 00:44:40,422
it's, it's Valve's anniversary, right?

957
00:44:40,422 --> 00:44:41,702
It's not Steam's, it's Valve's.

958
00:44:41,852 --> 00:44:42,722
It's a game company.

959
00:44:43,502 --> 00:44:48,332
Doing it based off of hardware
seems a little eh, but I'll

960
00:44:48,332 --> 00:44:49,322
take anything at this point

961
00:44:49,841 --> 00:44:51,061
They could, I mean, they
could do multiple things.

962
00:44:51,061 --> 00:44:54,091
They could give us a free
copy of Portal and Half-Life

963
00:44:54,554 --> 00:44:54,914
True

964
00:44:55,021 --> 00:44:58,131
the Steam Frame all in one day,
and the reviews could come out.

965
00:44:58,262 --> 00:44:59,152
hoping they do that.

966
00:44:59,152 --> 00:45:00,202
I, I am with you on that

967
00:45:01,721 --> 00:45:02,921
I'd be down for that.

968
00:45:03,211 --> 00:45:03,681
Now,

969
00:45:03,712 --> 00:45:06,172
be a little sad if they didn't
have like some type of 30th

970
00:45:06,202 --> 00:45:09,172
anniversary s- uh, thing going on.

971
00:45:10,002 --> 00:45:13,462
Like e- even if it's a Play Store, or
if, not Play Store, if even if it's the

972
00:45:13,882 --> 00:45:20,832
store, like a store sale like that they
have all the games that supported them

973
00:45:20,832 --> 00:45:22,462
over the years, that would be cool.

974
00:45:22,692 --> 00:45:27,862
Uh, with the Steam Frame a- announcement
or like, "Hey, Half-Life 2's on

975
00:45:27,862 --> 00:45:30,292
Steam Frame," and just showcase that.

976
00:45:30,622 --> 00:45:32,492
Doing something like
that's what I want to see.

977
00:45:33,292 --> 00:45:36,362
wanna see them just drop St- Steam
Frame, "Oh, you can reserve it now,"

978
00:45:36,372 --> 00:45:40,102
and that's pretty much it, with a
maybe a little 30th anniversary.

979
00:45:40,362 --> 00:45:40,782
Th- this

980
00:45:40,811 --> 00:45:41,321
And a,

981
00:45:41,432 --> 00:45:42,662
billions of dollars

982
00:45:43,201 --> 00:45:46,521
and a plethora of reviews from
like Linus Tech Tips and whatnot

983
00:45:48,974 --> 00:45:49,574
Yeah

984
00:45:50,601 --> 00:45:51,031
I don't know, man.

985
00:45:51,541 --> 00:45:54,801
I think, I think this is, this is gonna
be an interesting week to watch out for,

986
00:45:54,831 --> 00:45:59,961
'cause, you know, we have the Take Two,
we have the, we have the fucking GTA VI

987
00:45:59,961 --> 00:46:01,821
gameplay reveal, official gameplay reveal.

988
00:46:03,470 --> 00:46:03,910
Yeah

989
00:46:03,971 --> 00:46:08,211
have, have Valve's 30th anniversary,
and we have Gamescom all in

990
00:46:08,211 --> 00:46:09,651
the span of this coming week

991
00:46:11,857 --> 00:46:16,657
So this week isn't super interesting in
terms of news, but next week sure will be

992
00:46:17,902 --> 00:46:21,562
Yeah, it's gonna be an interesting,
uh, yeah, and Gardner's gonna be here.

993
00:46:22,045 --> 00:46:23,015
Yeah, and Gar's gonna be here too

994
00:46:23,082 --> 00:46:26,842
n- he at least is not
gonna miss out on much this

995
00:46:26,875 --> 00:46:28,135
Hopefully, but

996
00:46:30,523 --> 00:46:32,693
We gotta talk about some stuff too.

997
00:46:33,383 --> 00:46:34,183
Namely, uh

998
00:46:36,899 --> 00:46:37,319
How are you?

999
00:46:37,354 --> 00:46:39,734
about, I know my stuff's all messed up.

1000
00:46:39,744 --> 00:46:44,604
W- FCC abolishes is this one
that was supposed to be in there?

1001
00:46:45,681 --> 00:46:46,291
Yeah.

1002
00:46:46,491 --> 00:46:52,101
Uh, so essentially for those who don't
know, the FCC, uh, the FCC used to

1003
00:46:52,101 --> 00:46:57,681
have a plan to get gigabit ethernet
worldwide, um, countrywide, nationwide,

1004
00:46:58,201 --> 00:47:05,291
and now they don't, which is bullshit
because gigabit ethernet is so good.

1005
00:47:06,542 --> 00:47:06,942
So,

1006
00:47:06,961 --> 00:47:07,151
Like

1007
00:47:08,722 --> 00:47:09,682
yeah, c- continue.

1008
00:47:09,682 --> 00:47:10,162
Sorry

1009
00:47:10,781 --> 00:47:12,851
N- well, uh, that's all
I have to say for now

1010
00:47:15,068 --> 00:47:17,788
I, I'm gonna say this, and people
don't like pol- politics and

1011
00:47:17,788 --> 00:47:19,458
all that, but politics like you.

1012
00:47:19,548 --> 00:47:23,388
Like, they affect you, and this is why I
get more and more involved with it, 'cause

1013
00:47:23,798 --> 00:47:28,658
guys, we don't have r- like, we… You
think the RAM crisis would be happening

1014
00:47:28,668 --> 00:47:30,098
if we had a competent government?

1015
00:47:30,138 --> 00:47:31,428
Like, I don't think so.

1016
00:47:31,428 --> 00:47:34,458
I think we would have more
regulations or have other ways

1017
00:47:34,458 --> 00:47:35,608
to subsidize and everything.

1018
00:47:35,658 --> 00:47:40,788
Like, I don't think a lot of the
stuff that's going on if we had

1019
00:47:40,938 --> 00:47:42,548
a, a, a, a functioning government.

1020
00:47:42,588 --> 00:47:46,828
So the Biden administration, uh,
so yeah, like last week eliminated

1021
00:47:46,828 --> 00:47:49,658
the gigabyte speed goal established
during the Biden administration.

1022
00:47:49,898 --> 00:47:52,418
Pretty much if it has Biden
administration attached to it, this

1023
00:47:52,418 --> 00:47:53,848
current administration is gonna kill it.

1024
00:47:54,968 --> 00:48:00,088
Now, I, it's just… And, and,
and this, and this is crazy.

1025
00:48:00,498 --> 00:48:05,128
FCC decides one gigabyte is too fast,
standard must be technologically neutral.

1026
00:48:07,679 --> 00:48:08,939
I don't even… What does that even mean?

1027
00:48:09,798 --> 00:48:14,768
that means that they want this most
likely what this means is that they

1028
00:48:14,768 --> 00:48:18,098
want, like, this could be an Elon Musk
kind of thing in- in- interfering.

1029
00:48:18,818 --> 00:48:23,078
it, it probably affects, like,
who's getting, um, payouts.

1030
00:48:23,088 --> 00:48:30,588
So like if, um, let's say Comcast or
whatever, uh, wants more money and they're

1031
00:48:30,588 --> 00:48:32,958
like, "Yeah, we're, we're putting in
more gigabyte," they're prob- they could

1032
00:48:32,958 --> 00:48:36,378
probably get more subsidies 'cause that,
that everything, our internet, our, our

1033
00:48:36,388 --> 00:48:42,268
backbone for, uh, landli- uh, for the
internet and everything, like all, all

1034
00:48:42,268 --> 00:48:45,758
the fiber optics and all that is, is
subsidized heavily by the government.

1035
00:48:46,605 --> 00:48:46,955
Right

1036
00:48:46,958 --> 00:48:50,288
not realize that, and so getting contracts
probably was tied to that, making sure

1037
00:48:50,288 --> 00:48:52,008
that everyone was getting faster internet.

1038
00:48:52,818 --> 00:48:56,238
bet you it was the redirect to
Elon Musk's satellite system

1039
00:48:56,298 --> 00:48:57,488
because it doesn't do gigabit

1040
00:48:59,105 --> 00:49:04,755
Yeah, and well, first and foremost, fuck
Elon Musk for if that's, if this is true.

1041
00:49:04,945 --> 00:49:08,075
Not that he hasn't done anything, not that
he hasn't done anything bad, 'cause he's

1042
00:49:08,075 --> 00:49:08,335
done,

1043
00:49:08,345 --> 00:49:08,525
done

1044
00:49:08,696 --> 00:49:10,306
Yeah, it, it's, it's speculation.

1045
00:49:10,316 --> 00:49:13,176
It, it's… And also FCC
was gutted and everything.

1046
00:49:13,226 --> 00:49:17,036
Like, there's so much that goes
into all these news articles, it's

1047
00:49:19,099 --> 00:49:21,319
Like, God damn it.

1048
00:49:21,839 --> 00:49:27,349
Like, faster internet should be a
priority for the country because

1049
00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:29,829
as it stands right now, they wanna
make everything in the data centers.

1050
00:49:30,109 --> 00:49:34,899
But, like, if you look at the Midwest,
they, they fair- they barely have

1051
00:49:34,899 --> 00:49:36,069
fucking internet to begin with

1052
00:49:36,816 --> 00:49:37,406
Mm-hmm

1053
00:49:38,223 --> 00:49:40,463
How are you gonna, how are you supposed
to serve all those people, right?

1054
00:49:41,678 --> 00:49:41,908
Yeah.

1055
00:49:41,938 --> 00:49:45,768
I mean, once you get the backbone in,
and if we do … Like, like gigabit

1056
00:49:45,808 --> 00:49:47,398
would last for a good long while.

1057
00:49:47,398 --> 00:49:50,968
Don't get me wrong, I think, like they're
putting in three gigabit in places now.

1058
00:49:50,998 --> 00:49:55,778
Um, like it's, it's, it's, it's cool
that they're increasing in some areas,

1059
00:49:55,778 --> 00:50:00,768
especially denser areas, but like
this is a standard that would last

1060
00:50:00,768 --> 00:50:03,898
for decades, maybe even 100 years.

1061
00:50:03,898 --> 00:50:09,338
This could last for a good long while
to service a lot of communities and

1062
00:50:09,338 --> 00:50:11,218
would be very good infrastructure.

1063
00:50:12,318 --> 00:50:15,418
Now, if they were going … Like,
if they wanted to say, "Hey, FCC,

1064
00:50:15,428 --> 00:50:18,598
we're…" Like, if the FCC's like,
"Well, we, we're gonna cut back on our

1065
00:50:18,598 --> 00:50:23,298
budget here so that the," Who takes
care of the roads and everything?

1066
00:50:23,308 --> 00:50:26,458
So they can build, like fix the bridges
so that infrastructure's actually fixed,

1067
00:50:26,458 --> 00:50:28,208
but that's a whole other topic maybe.

1068
00:50:28,528 --> 00:50:34,308
But I don't f- just think they're being
lazy and they're, and they're trying to,

1069
00:50:35,318 --> 00:50:40,168
it's probably lobbying from Elon Musk and
from … And I'm being very speculative,

1070
00:50:40,188 --> 00:50:42,198
but I'm not gonna be generous either.

1071
00:50:42,218 --> 00:50:44,648
Like, is happening for a reason.

1072
00:50:45,268 --> 00:50:46,418
Um, it could

1073
00:50:46,513 --> 00:50:47,323
Dude, our ancient

1074
00:50:47,508 --> 00:50:50,328
Biden's name or s- you know,

1075
00:50:50,673 --> 00:50:50,943
Dude,

1076
00:50:50,963 --> 00:50:51,503
our ancient

1077
00:50:51,533 --> 00:50:55,763
infrastructure, our ancient infrastructure
needs some serious upgrading.

1078
00:50:55,773 --> 00:50:57,213
Like, seriously

1079
00:50:58,196 --> 00:51:02,036
I, if you're in newer area, like
where I'm at in Utah, everywhere

1080
00:51:02,046 --> 00:51:03,936
has gigabit that's in the cities.

1081
00:51:04,556 --> 00:51:07,876
But go just a little bit
further out and there's nothing.

1082
00:51:07,906 --> 00:51:10,036
They have to rely on satellites,
which they already are.

1083
00:51:10,066 --> 00:51:10,616
Okay.

1084
00:51:10,656 --> 00:51:16,196
But I don't, and so I'm
just really curious why they

1085
00:51:16,196 --> 00:51:17,506
would just stop doing this.

1086
00:51:17,506 --> 00:51:19,406
It didn't seem like it was
a problem up until now.

1087
00:51:21,296 --> 00:51:21,876
So

1088
00:51:26,158 --> 00:51:27,628
I, I, I, I don't get it.

1089
00:51:27,988 --> 00:51:33,088
Like, I just don't get why they would
cancel all this, and maybe someone can

1090
00:51:33,088 --> 00:51:35,798
let us know in the, in the comments.

1091
00:51:35,808 --> 00:51:40,558
But honestly, this just feels
like, uh, corruption kinda winning

1092
00:51:40,558 --> 00:51:43,108
over, as opposed to, you know,

1093
00:51:43,863 --> 00:51:46,893
I can't think of any justification
that would make sense

1094
00:51:49,398 --> 00:51:53,478
Oh, well, it's definitely not gonna be
like make sense justifications, right?

1095
00:51:53,478 --> 00:51:57,608
It's g- it's, it's definitely…
That's why I'm thinking that there's

1096
00:51:57,608 --> 00:51:58,778
corruption going on here, but

1097
00:52:02,262 --> 00:52:05,932
I think, I think, uh, Gardner
m- mentioned on this one that we

1098
00:52:05,932 --> 00:52:07,132
should ban the internet, didn't he?

1099
00:52:08,332 --> 00:52:13,412
We should just get rid of
it in the Discord, but l-

1100
00:52:13,432 --> 00:52:14,792
little bit of tidbit from him.

1101
00:52:14,882 --> 00:52:17,832
I, it, yeah, I… It's just so stupid.

1102
00:52:18,512 --> 00:52:19,512
can't have good infrastructure.

1103
00:52:19,582 --> 00:52:23,342
So like infrastructure at least is the
core part of like a government, right?

1104
00:52:23,342 --> 00:52:30,022
And this is, internet, no one can like
disagree that the internet is a crucial

1105
00:52:30,022 --> 00:52:36,632
part of their infrastructure nowadays,
whether it be, from managing businesses,

1106
00:52:36,632 --> 00:52:42,952
from managing whatever it is, the internet
is a core part of connecting the rest of

1107
00:52:43,032 --> 00:52:45,062
the s- the, the country and the world.

1108
00:52:45,722 --> 00:52:55,992
And we should be pushing for
better, uh, um, satellite, f- uh,

1109
00:52:56,002 --> 00:52:59,042
landline, or cellular internet.

1110
00:53:00,412 --> 00:53:02,272
And they should be distinct too.

1111
00:53:03,112 --> 00:53:05,842
But this just, I think, just
hurts us no matter what.

1112
00:53:05,862 --> 00:53:09,662
And, and saying it's too fast
and it could hurt, uh, it, we

1113
00:53:09,662 --> 00:53:13,432
need it to be more technol- uh,
technology neutral is kind of weird.

1114
00:53:14,212 --> 00:53:19,382
Um, m- it's also kind of a weird way
to say FCC abolishes gigabit, but goal.

1115
00:53:19,382 --> 00:53:22,892
But like if they wanted to, they
could rephrase it, "Well, we're gonna

1116
00:53:22,902 --> 00:53:27,012
have three different goals for three
different ser- uh, technologies to help."

1117
00:53:27,022 --> 00:53:30,342
Maybe, but I didn't see any of that.

1118
00:53:30,402 --> 00:53:33,342
I think they just said that
we're not doing it, and that's

1119
00:53:33,342 --> 00:53:34,702
all the explanation we got.

1120
00:53:38,397 --> 00:53:39,777
Well, there is some good news though

1121
00:53:39,894 --> 00:53:45,654
there is always some good news when it
comes to, uh, Gardner's, uh, articles.

1122
00:53:45,654 --> 00:53:49,104
And so he's been working, uh, with
Bazzite a lot lately, and, uh,

1123
00:53:49,134 --> 00:53:51,594
Bazzite's an awesome distro by the way.

1124
00:53:52,583 --> 00:53:53,143
Has he been working with Bazzite?

1125
00:53:54,244 --> 00:54:01,844
yes, I think, uh, I think, yeah,
he has been working with Bazzite.

1126
00:54:02,524 --> 00:54:03,264
Um

1127
00:54:04,543 --> 00:54:07,213
Well, he has interviewed,
uh, Kyle Gospenetic.

1128
00:54:07,263 --> 00:54:09,673
Uh, he's spoken with him a few
times, so that makes sense.

1129
00:54:09,753 --> 00:54:13,003
Um, but essentially, for those
who don't know, Bazzite is a

1130
00:54:13,013 --> 00:54:17,213
Linux distro, uh, specifically
made for the purpose of gaming.

1131
00:54:17,783 --> 00:54:23,103
It's built off of, uh, Universal B-
Fedora Universal Blue, and so essentially

1132
00:54:23,103 --> 00:54:27,953
what it does is it provides that sort
of immutable operating system experience

1133
00:54:27,953 --> 00:54:31,443
while giving you some leeway in
regards to customization and whatnot.

1134
00:54:32,503 --> 00:54:36,393
Uh, so Bazzite just got its recent
update, and there are quite a

1135
00:54:36,393 --> 00:54:37,803
few things worth considering.

1136
00:54:37,813 --> 00:54:41,833
First and foremost, it's got
that new VRAM management system

1137
00:54:41,833 --> 00:54:44,303
that, uh, that Steam OS now has.

1138
00:54:45,253 --> 00:54:47,173
You guys heard about, you
hear about that, James?

1139
00:54:48,686 --> 00:54:50,216
Do, uh, no, I have not

1140
00:54:50,373 --> 00:54:53,623
it's the one that prioritizes games
over like background processes,

1141
00:54:53,623 --> 00:54:57,263
making your games not necessarily
crash when you run out of VRAM.

1142
00:54:59,253 --> 00:55:02,523
So that's been in Steam OS for a little
bit now, but now it's in Bazzite.

1143
00:55:02,813 --> 00:55:08,323
Uh, we've got HDMI 2.1 support,
improved multi-GPU support for

1144
00:55:08,333 --> 00:55:09,933
like laptops that have that

1145
00:55:12,014 --> 00:55:13,014
Interesting

1146
00:55:13,489 --> 00:55:16,119
They've also reworked the Deck image.

1147
00:55:16,199 --> 00:55:18,939
They've got a new G- uh, uh, GUI updater.

1148
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:23,419
They've increased a new version of
Baza- Bazaar, which is like, like,

1149
00:55:23,419 --> 00:55:26,729
you know the Discover apps… You know
the Discover app on, uh, Steam OS?

1150
00:55:27,182 --> 00:55:27,722
Yeah

1151
00:55:28,209 --> 00:55:28,899
It's kinda like that,

1152
00:55:29,774 --> 00:55:29,784
Hmm

1153
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:31,159
but, like, Bazzite.

1154
00:55:31,459 --> 00:55:36,559
Uh, and apparently there's some
Blu-ray playback functionality.

1155
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:38,189
I don't, I don't know
very much about this.

1156
00:55:38,389 --> 00:55:42,809
Uh, but Gardner lists it, like,
towards the end of his article

1157
00:55:43,118 --> 00:55:43,928
Yeah, it has a bunch of stuff.

1158
00:55:43,948 --> 00:55:47,598
He's CEC mode selection, AMD VRR toggle.

1159
00:55:47,658 --> 00:55:48,418
That's awesome.

1160
00:55:48,418 --> 00:55:51,818
NVIDIA Flatpak runtime
update, which is also awesome.

1161
00:55:53,788 --> 00:55:54,598
Um

1162
00:55:58,030 --> 00:55:58,280
Yeah.

1163
00:55:58,290 --> 00:56:04,840
I mean, I did, I did a Bazzite, uh,
video, Bazzite versus Steam OS like

1164
00:56:06,380 --> 00:56:08,240
10 months ago, and it did really well.

1165
00:56:08,260 --> 00:56:12,440
I need to do some upd- in fact, I
have a couple of updates for more

1166
00:56:12,450 --> 00:56:16,740
Bazzite and some, and Steam OS, uh,
versus modes, or videos in the future.

1167
00:56:16,740 --> 00:56:19,080
But, like, this is looking good

1168
00:56:19,631 --> 00:56:25,071
Now, what if you, hear me out, what if you
installed Bazzite on your Steam Machine?

1169
00:56:27,288 --> 00:56:31,088
I… So funny enough, I think you
were a part, I, I think you joined

1170
00:56:31,098 --> 00:56:32,448
my, uh, live stream when I did that.

1171
00:56:32,578 --> 00:56:35,158
So it, it didn't work.

1172
00:56:35,358 --> 00:56:39,518
I needed to reformat it 'cause I had
it installed on my Legion Go, and I

1173
00:56:39,761 --> 00:56:40,151
Your

1174
00:56:40,498 --> 00:56:41,408
over and it just didn't work.

1175
00:56:41,408 --> 00:56:44,338
So one of these days I will Bazzite on it

1176
00:56:44,977 --> 00:56:47,897
Your real, like your real Steam
Machine or like a home brew one?

1177
00:56:48,868 --> 00:56:49,748
S- my real steaming machine.

1178
00:56:49,748 --> 00:56:52,398
When I put the four terabytes
into it, it had a Windows and

1179
00:56:52,398 --> 00:56:54,798
a, it had a s- uh, Bazzite,

1180
00:56:56,978 --> 00:57:00,468
install on it from Legion Go 2, which
obviously, you know, there's gonna

1181
00:57:00,478 --> 00:57:01,568
be driver issues and everything.

1182
00:57:02,868 --> 00:57:04,098
The Windows actually booted up.

1183
00:57:04,438 --> 00:57:09,928
I just couldn't get in because,
um, I, I think it was, it was, it

1184
00:57:09,928 --> 00:57:13,918
was hardware locked, and so it just
wouldn't let me l- log in fully.

1185
00:57:14,708 --> 00:57:17,668
then, uh, Bazzite just didn't load, so

1186
00:57:17,723 --> 00:57:18,143
Hmm.

1187
00:57:19,053 --> 00:57:22,463
Well, you know, now that
there's a new Bazzite update

1188
00:57:22,820 --> 00:57:24,670
that's… I need, I'm gonna install it.

1189
00:57:24,670 --> 00:57:27,210
I'll, I'll get back to people on
that 'cause I, I do have plans

1190
00:57:27,210 --> 00:57:30,190
to installing, uh, Bazzite on it.

1191
00:57:30,210 --> 00:57:35,160
I'm kinda curious, Bazzite
versus Cachy also, Sorry, could,

1192
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:36,600
uh, could I, I, I cut you off.

1193
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:36,970
What?

1194
00:57:38,393 --> 00:57:41,113
Well, now that you have the Bazzite
update, you know what you could do?

1195
00:57:42,673 --> 00:57:45,223
You could try reinstalling
Bazzite on your Steam Machine

1196
00:57:45,223 --> 00:57:46,973
again and seeing what happens

1197
00:57:48,610 --> 00:57:52,070
Well, like I was saying, I, the way
I did it was probably what broke it.

1198
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,820
I'm pretty sure Bazzite will
work on the Steam Machine before.

1199
00:57:55,080 --> 00:58:00,360
I just, I gave a very useless example of
Bazzite not working on the Steam Machine.

1200
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,150
So yeah, I'm, I'm pretty
sure it works fine on it.

1201
00:58:02,570 --> 00:58:03,720
Uh, I'll try it again, though.

1202
00:58:03,930 --> 00:58:07,230
It's just Steam OS does
such a good job, and it's so

1203
00:58:07,230 --> 00:58:09,750
console-like, it's, it feels so…

1204
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:15,980
I, I haven't done it yet because it
feels like a shame to, um, something

1205
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,740
else on it besides Steam OS.

1206
00:58:21,238 --> 00:58:24,568
I'll get… I w- I really wish
I had two Steam machines because

1207
00:58:24,608 --> 00:58:25,988
I really want this machine.

1208
00:58:26,308 --> 00:58:31,628
I wanna tinker with it, but I wanna
tinker with it by not replacing

1209
00:58:31,628 --> 00:58:34,268
the operating system, but I'm gonna
have to do it, so we'll get there.

1210
00:58:34,598 --> 00:58:34,838
I'll,

1211
00:58:35,123 --> 00:58:35,493
You could buy it.

1212
00:58:37,403 --> 00:58:38,983
You could try buying off of eBay.

1213
00:58:39,873 --> 00:58:42,303
It looks like the eBay prices
for these secondhand ones are

1214
00:58:42,303 --> 00:58:43,443
starting to go down a little bit

1215
00:58:43,936 --> 00:58:45,346
What is it, $2,000?

1216
00:58:46,839 --> 00:58:47,319
Well, actually, you know what?

1217
00:58:47,319 --> 00:58:47,829
Let's find out.

1218
00:58:47,919 --> 00:58:48,799
Let's find out right now.

1219
00:58:49,669 --> 00:58:51,899
Pull it up on eBay or Facebook Marketplace

1220
00:58:54,294 --> 00:58:57,244
I'm sure you'll, you can get a couple of
really good deals where people are like,

1221
00:58:57,244 --> 00:58:59,494
"I just don't want this anymore." Right?

1222
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,800
I mean, that's not horrible.

1223
00:59:05,830 --> 00:59:07,150
That's still a huge markup

1224
00:59:08,145 --> 00:59:09,295
It is a huge markup.

1225
00:59:09,755 --> 00:59:12,575
I bet you you could find something
even better on Facebook Marketplace

1226
00:59:13,870 --> 00:59:15,890
But then I had to touch
Facebook Marketplace

1227
00:59:17,041 --> 00:59:19,731
Yeah, that's like the only reason
they use Facebook, to be honest

1228
00:59:20,430 --> 00:59:22,830
Dude, this is… There's so
many Steam Machines on here

1229
00:59:24,219 --> 00:59:27,209
Let's see how much a Steam
Machine is in my area.

1230
00:59:28,249 --> 00:59:31,149
1,600. Dude, no one's gonna buy that

1231
00:59:34,897 --> 00:59:38,727
They've got the BC 250…
Someone's got a BC 250 for 440?

1232
00:59:38,967 --> 00:59:39,797
Fuck that.

1233
00:59:41,407 --> 00:59:44,867
If I have to pay more than,
like, 200 for it, fuck that noise

1234
00:59:49,070 --> 00:59:49,920
It's crazy

1235
00:59:51,421 --> 00:59:56,211
I mean, not a lot of people are selling
Steam Machines in my area it seems

1236
00:59:56,726 --> 00:59:59,806
I don't, I'm not gonna get on
Facebook Marketplace on here.

1237
01:00:00,653 --> 01:00:02,033
Oh yeah, don't, do not do that.

1238
01:00:02,043 --> 01:00:02,693
Do not do that

1239
01:00:03,946 --> 01:00:05,406
I will dox myself so hard.

1240
01:00:05,486 --> 01:00:09,346
Um, or at least expose a lot of stuff.

1241
01:00:10,866 --> 01:00:14,696
Nothing nefarious, by the
way, just it's personal.

1242
01:00:14,786 --> 01:00:15,366
Um

1243
01:00:18,862 --> 01:00:21,732
Yeah, this is, I mean, heck, the
first one that popped up, this

1244
01:00:21,732 --> 01:00:26,352
one seems reasonable after looking
at everything else, which is sad.

1245
01:00:27,522 --> 01:00:28,792
There's a lot of people building them.

1246
01:00:28,822 --> 01:00:29,482
Ooh.

1247
01:00:30,752 --> 01:00:36,672
A pre-built for $1,500, this, um,
small form factor PC right here.

1248
01:00:36,672 --> 01:00:37,332
It's, now

1249
01:00:37,383 --> 01:00:38,043
that's got…

1250
01:00:38,122 --> 01:00:38,952
smaller

1251
01:00:39,503 --> 01:00:41,603
And yeah, but it's also got Nvidia too.

1252
01:00:41,623 --> 01:00:43,953
Uh, as far as I'm aware, that
still doesn't work on Steam OS

1253
01:00:44,778 --> 01:00:45,708
No, it doesn't.

1254
01:00:45,818 --> 01:00:49,938
I think, um, they have
it… I could be wrong.

1255
01:00:49,938 --> 01:00:51,758
Let's… I, I'm kind of curious now.

1256
01:00:51,798 --> 01:00:56,787
Um, Steam OS NVIDIA, They're working,
like they're, I think they're

1257
01:00:56,787 --> 01:00:57,917
working with… No, I don't think.

1258
01:00:57,917 --> 01:01:02,427
I know that they're, we know that they're
working with NVIDIA to make drivers for

1259
01:01:02,427 --> 01:01:06,457
Steam OS and that they're gonna have
it out by the end of the year, at least

1260
01:01:06,467 --> 01:01:10,607
some support from my understanding,
at least in, in the interview.

1261
01:01:11,457 --> 01:01:11,997
Um

1262
01:01:14,605 --> 01:01:15,865
Yes, sir. I, I mean, honestly, man,
I can't wait for them to support

1263
01:01:15,865 --> 01:01:16,885
it, man, because that'd be awesome.

1264
01:01:18,095 --> 01:01:22,125
Uh, the question now is
will NVIDIA do their part?

1265
01:01:22,125 --> 01:01:26,065
'Cause Valve could easily do their
part with NVIDIA's coo- cooperation.

1266
01:01:26,065 --> 01:01:30,215
I mean, all, all of this I
believe hinges on NVIDIA, right?

1267
01:01:31,327 --> 01:01:32,457
I think yes and no.

1268
01:01:32,457 --> 01:01:36,917
It depends on if… I, I'm, I'm
hoping if NVIDIA wants to, to at least

1269
01:01:37,007 --> 01:01:44,217
save some face, they would allow,
um, Valve to be able to work on the

1270
01:01:44,217 --> 01:01:49,187
drivers themselves potentially, or be,
um, heavily involved in getting the

1271
01:01:49,187 --> 01:01:51,557
drivers and then just improving them.

1272
01:01:51,557 --> 01:01:53,427
'Cause that's the biggest problem
is that they're just, they're very

1273
01:01:53,427 --> 01:01:56,197
rough, NVIDIA drivers are on Linux.

1274
01:01:57,377 --> 01:02:00,512
So if they work tightly enough or if
they hand off the reins enough to v-

1275
01:02:00,512 --> 01:02:05,877
uh, to Valve, which I think they have a
big open source team that they would be

1276
01:02:05,877 --> 01:02:13,167
able to tackle it, um, that I, I think
we, they would turn out really well.

1277
01:02:14,867 --> 01:02:18,377
Um, the way AMD works though, their,
their drivers are working great.

1278
01:02:18,377 --> 01:02:23,727
I'm sure Valve gives them plenty of data,
plenty of bugs for them to fix, and so

1279
01:02:23,727 --> 01:02:25,827
if, if NVIDIA works the same way, great.

1280
01:02:26,217 --> 01:02:29,527
We m- honestly, I think we're
seeing the dawn of like Linux

1281
01:02:31,537 --> 01:02:31,927
royally

1282
01:02:32,027 --> 01:02:36,057
this really… Dude, are you saying
this is the year of the Linux desktop?

1283
01:02:36,891 --> 01:02:37,781
I think next year will be

1284
01:02:39,061 --> 01:02:40,031
Hopefully next year

1285
01:02:40,483 --> 01:02:43,903
I think once people can get more Steam
Machines in their hands, I know it's, it's

1286
01:02:43,913 --> 01:02:49,423
more console-based, it is also very… It
can be used v- honestly, that's one of the

1287
01:02:49,423 --> 01:02:52,803
things that Linus, I think, I didn't watch
the video fully, but, like, he mentioned

1288
01:02:52,813 --> 01:02:54,313
it's a really good desktop, didn't he?

1289
01:02:54,453 --> 01:02:54,883
So

1290
01:02:55,479 --> 01:03:01,289
He did, but I mean, a lot of it is
more so the whole KDE experience

1291
01:03:01,289 --> 01:03:04,589
rather than, you know, it being
intrinsically part of Steam, the Steam

1292
01:03:04,599 --> 01:03:05,209
Machine, you know what I'm saying?

1293
01:03:05,733 --> 01:03:08,143
No, but it's really hard.

1294
01:03:08,153 --> 01:03:10,273
Like, there are companies, but,
and they tend to be a little

1295
01:03:10,383 --> 01:03:11,223
more expensive or whatever.

1296
01:03:11,233 --> 01:03:17,003
Like, to get pre-built Linux desktops
is not a big thing right now.

1297
01:03:17,003 --> 01:03:23,833
Where if you go to a, like whatever it is,
like you can get on anything right now.

1298
01:03:23,893 --> 01:03:26,673
Windows dominates because
when you go get a laptop it…

1299
01:03:26,783 --> 01:03:29,963
So, like for the common person,
it's not like you have the choice.

1300
01:03:29,963 --> 01:03:31,783
You just, you either get Mac or Windows.

1301
01:03:32,643 --> 01:03:39,473
the, this, like with the Nvidia side of
things changing and SteamOS or Bazzite

1302
01:03:39,473 --> 01:03:44,993
and all this other st- like maybe more
companies and more of these like laptop

1303
01:03:44,993 --> 01:03:49,253
companies, uh, PC companies and all
that will start shipping more with Linux

1304
01:03:49,273 --> 01:03:51,203
distros that are more friendly to users.

1305
01:03:53,253 --> 01:03:53,603
Don't know.

1306
01:03:54,823 --> 01:03:58,383
All I know… And that could, I think,
really help open it up, but we'll see.

1307
01:03:58,433 --> 01:04:04,823
I think 2027 is gonna be the year of
the Steam desktop experience, whether

1308
01:04:04,823 --> 01:04:08,433
it be through Bazzite or SteamOS.

1309
01:04:09,273 --> 01:04:10,813
So, we'll see

1310
01:04:10,909 --> 01:04:11,679
Yeah, man.

1311
01:04:12,209 --> 01:04:13,459
You know what it's not
gonna be the year of?

1312
01:04:16,429 --> 01:04:17,609
Year of Supreme.

1313
01:04:18,395 --> 01:04:18,995
Uh-oh

1314
01:04:19,089 --> 01:04:19,469
at that.

1315
01:04:20,159 --> 01:04:21,489
Dude, have you seen this?

1316
01:04:22,243 --> 01:04:24,203
Uh, so a

1317
01:04:24,219 --> 01:04:24,359
for the

1318
01:04:24,633 --> 01:04:29,293
branded analog Pocket is coming
this fall and in 24 karat gold

1319
01:04:29,629 --> 01:04:33,989
So for those who don't know,
Supreme is a brand best known for,

1320
01:04:34,029 --> 01:04:38,259
um, being s- insanely overpriced

1321
01:04:39,047 --> 01:04:43,137
S- i- isn't it more of
a Asian luxury, brand?

1322
01:04:44,837 --> 01:04:46,357
I don't even… No, it's not Asian.

1323
01:04:46,357 --> 01:04:48,047
It's, uh… No, it's not Asian

1324
01:04:48,405 --> 01:04:52,075
it's a Middle… Uh, I'm saying like, I,
I swear there, is it Middle Eastern, Asia?

1325
01:04:52,295 --> 01:04:54,205
I can't, I can't remember,
but I swear there's a

1326
01:04:54,255 --> 01:04:55,425
No, it's Naam, man.

1327
01:04:55,425 --> 01:04:56,365
That's from New York

1328
01:04:57,585 --> 01:05:01,375
I'm not saying that's what, no, that's,
that's… I'm saying who like I see

1329
01:05:01,375 --> 01:05:03,235
consume it more, but I could be wrong

1330
01:05:03,389 --> 01:05:05,719
I, I don't, I don't know
who consumes this shit.

1331
01:05:05,749 --> 01:05:10,299
I, I don't, I haven't met a single person
in real life that wears Supreme stuff

1332
01:05:10,563 --> 01:05:14,363
The only time I've ever seen it is, uh,
brought up in more, uh, Asian countries.

1333
01:05:14,493 --> 01:05:15,683
That's why I was asking.

1334
01:05:16,669 --> 01:05:19,539
But essentially, uh, and oh yeah, for
those who don't know what Analogue

1335
01:05:19,539 --> 01:05:23,159
is, the Analogue, Analogue is a
company that makes recreated consoles

1336
01:05:23,179 --> 01:05:25,879
using, uh, FPGA hardware emulation.

1337
01:05:26,679 --> 01:05:31,969
And the Analogue Pocket is basically like
a small little, uh, Game Boy, uh, Game

1338
01:05:31,969 --> 01:05:36,539
Boy Color essentially, but it plays a lot
of games on it too, which is pretty cool.

1339
01:05:37,139 --> 01:05:42,779
Uh, so basically, basically what it is
is a… And they collaborated somehow.

1340
01:05:43,559 --> 01:05:46,019
And Analogue Pocket has like
a million different SKUs of

1341
01:05:46,019 --> 01:05:47,619
this thi- of this damn device

1342
01:05:49,797 --> 01:05:52,077
And it's fucking expensive as hell, man.

1343
01:05:52,267 --> 01:05:53,687
Let me get y- let me tell you that.

1344
01:05:54,117 --> 01:05:58,777
Well, maybe not expensive as
hell, but it is pretty expensive.

1345
01:06:00,187 --> 01:06:02,597
Analog stuff is all pretty
expensive, let's be honest

1346
01:06:03,643 --> 01:06:03,783
Yeah.

1347
01:06:03,793 --> 01:06:05,323
I mean, yeah.

1348
01:06:06,393 --> 01:06:09,063
It is, and it's getting probably
more expensive too as it's

1349
01:06:09,063 --> 01:06:11,543
just not as prevalent, right?

1350
01:06:12,367 --> 01:06:15,457
But yeah, there's a lot of different
colorways that you can't buy anymore.

1351
01:06:15,507 --> 01:06:18,847
Uh, they still have their black
and white models, but they used to

1352
01:06:18,847 --> 01:06:21,167
have, like, atomic, atomic purple.

1353
01:06:22,077 --> 01:06:22,887
They don't have that anymore.

1354
01:06:23,727 --> 01:06:26,687
And now they have this red s- red Supreme.

1355
01:06:26,757 --> 01:06:29,937
Dude, it has a Supreme logo
on the, like, device itself.

1356
01:06:29,947 --> 01:06:31,067
That's kinda tacky

1357
01:06:34,587 --> 01:06:36,297
They have a Supreme Dyson.

1358
01:06:36,617 --> 01:06:39,127
They have… Is

1359
01:06:39,229 --> 01:06:39,579
Dude, who the…

1360
01:06:39,717 --> 01:06:40,107
Cross?

1361
01:06:41,319 --> 01:06:43,009
That is a Supreme cross

1362
01:06:43,653 --> 01:06:45,013
Crossbox logo.

1363
01:06:46,483 --> 01:06:48,433
Jesus has been branded as Supreme.

1364
01:06:49,123 --> 01:06:49,913
That's interesting

1365
01:06:52,123 --> 01:06:54,253
But I feel like that would
be sacrilegious for them.

1366
01:06:56,273 --> 01:06:57,093
Sacrilegious

1367
01:06:59,591 --> 01:07:00,361
What is that?

1368
01:07:00,691 --> 01:07:03,971
Is that, is that an actual,
like, old school film camera?

1369
01:07:04,571 --> 01:07:05,141
Yeah

1370
01:07:06,117 --> 01:07:07,027
No fucking way

1371
01:07:10,395 --> 01:07:12,885
It looks like it's, it's old
school and also new school.

1372
01:07:13,535 --> 01:07:14,295
Interesting.

1373
01:07:15,555 --> 01:07:16,085
That's cool.

1374
01:07:16,105 --> 01:07:16,715
I like that.

1375
01:07:17,165 --> 01:07:20,195
Like, uh, obviously they like to put
their brand on a lot of different things.

1376
01:07:20,195 --> 01:07:21,675
They do collabs with other brands.

1377
01:07:21,725 --> 01:07:23,695
Uh, but yeah, this one is silly.

1378
01:07:24,185 --> 01:07:26,705
The 24 karat, how much is
it gonna cost, do we know?

1379
01:07:28,195 --> 01:07:29,305
Uh, we don't know.

1380
01:07:29,535 --> 01:07:33,895
Uh, we certainly don't know how much
the, uh, the red one's gonna cost,

1381
01:07:34,115 --> 01:07:37,435
'cause that's definitely not, uh, that's
definitely not four- 24 karat gold.

1382
01:07:38,065 --> 01:07:40,225
But I could probably make an
estimate as to how much the

1383
01:07:40,225 --> 01:07:42,035
24 karat gold one would cost

1384
01:07:42,971 --> 01:07:43,311
That'd be it.

1385
01:07:43,341 --> 01:07:47,231
Yeah, just what, how much does it normally
cost or if we know what the, this Su-

1386
01:07:47,371 --> 01:07:51,951
uh, 'cause you probably gotta tack on,
oh, this is Supreme brand, then tack on

1387
01:07:52,371 --> 01:07:56,311
the 24 karat, how much the t- 24 karat
gold is gonna co- like would be on its

1388
01:07:56,311 --> 01:07:58,581
own, and then probably up it by 20%.

1389
01:07:58,591 --> 01:08:01,221
But that's gotta be heavy then, right?

1390
01:08:05,955 --> 01:08:07,625
I guess you get it not
to play with though.

1391
01:08:07,825 --> 01:08:09,105
You get it as a showcase item

1392
01:08:09,265 --> 01:08:11,695
Dude, yeah, you gotta tell about f-
yeah, 'cause like ca- like, 'cause

1393
01:08:11,705 --> 01:08:13,385
gold is pretty l- pretty malleable.

1394
01:08:13,385 --> 01:08:16,125
You'll probably like, you'll
probably like cave it in if

1395
01:08:16,125 --> 01:08:17,145
you're actually playing it, right?

1396
01:08:18,762 --> 01:08:19,342
Cave it in?

1397
01:08:20,445 --> 01:08:22,615
Yeah, 'cause gold is,
gold is very malleable.

1398
01:08:22,775 --> 01:08:22,945
It,

1399
01:08:22,945 --> 01:08:23,785
like, bends

1400
01:08:23,905 --> 01:08:27,315
that 24 karat, I'm curious how
malleable that is as opposed to,

1401
01:08:29,275 --> 01:08:31,845
having a more specialized alloy

1402
01:08:34,181 --> 01:08:34,501
Hmm.

1403
01:08:35,511 --> 01:08:39,021
I don't know enough about the 24
carat, or the, the carat system on

1404
01:08:39,021 --> 01:08:43,581
how much this is, uh, could be mixed
with another alloy or something

1405
01:08:43,581 --> 01:08:45,861
like that, but, or how pure it is.

1406
01:08:45,881 --> 01:08:52,741
But yeah, I, if it's pure gold, it
is, it, it's, it probably isn't, um,

1407
01:08:53,461 --> 01:08:57,141
meaning it's, well, uh, yeah, I, I
just don't know how the system works.

1408
01:08:57,161 --> 01:08:59,601
It would be pretty, like
you said, pretty malleable.

1409
01:08:59,601 --> 01:09:07,381
It, it would, it would easily bend
in and, um, depending on how thin it

1410
01:09:07,381 --> 01:09:09,621
is, it, it, it would be easy to dent.

1411
01:09:11,051 --> 01:09:12,371
Be very heavy, though

1412
01:09:14,839 --> 01:09:15,249
Gold is

1413
01:09:15,389 --> 01:09:15,459
Dude.

1414
01:09:15,509 --> 01:09:15,809
dense.

1415
01:09:15,819 --> 01:09:16,589
It's very heavy

1416
01:09:17,489 --> 01:09:21,269
Dude, like honestly, man, if you
wanna buy an Analogue Pocket, the

1417
01:09:21,269 --> 01:09:22,679
red one doesn't look half bad.

1418
01:09:22,679 --> 01:09:26,089
I think the, I just think the
logo being there on the back and

1419
01:09:26,099 --> 01:09:28,089
the front is kind of obnoxious

1420
01:09:28,365 --> 01:09:31,465
I think it looks super cheap, personally.

1421
01:09:31,805 --> 01:09:33,185
The, like the red color or like

1422
01:09:33,715 --> 01:09:37,355
makes me think just Temu
every time I see it.

1423
01:09:37,355 --> 01:09:39,075
I'm just like, "This
looks… I don't know."

1424
01:09:41,445 --> 01:09:43,335
It's a, it's a visual
thing for me, though.

1425
01:09:43,525 --> 01:09:43,675
I've-

1426
01:09:44,571 --> 01:09:47,791
But the regular Analogue Pocket look,
does look quite nice though, I will say.

1427
01:09:48,151 --> 01:09:50,471
The regular version that's not red or gold

1428
01:09:50,759 --> 01:09:52,289
yeah, definitely looks nicer

1429
01:09:53,703 --> 01:09:56,113
I don't see myself getting one
of those, uh, truth be told.

1430
01:09:56,583 --> 01:10:00,583
N- not even the, uh, not even the special
edition one, just like the regular one

1431
01:10:02,267 --> 01:10:02,707
Yeah.

1432
01:10:02,847 --> 01:10:06,667
Uh, I'm n- I'm not…
It's just not my thing.

1433
01:10:07,587 --> 01:10:09,957
I have other ones I'd rather
get before I get that.

1434
01:10:11,087 --> 01:10:14,997
I still have to get a second Steam Machine
and, you know, $2,000 is gonna cost a lot.

1435
01:10:17,257 --> 01:10:19,427
I'm not getting another… I,
if, if anything, I wanna get

1436
01:10:19,427 --> 01:10:21,907
another Steam Controller, but
I don't wanna pay $200 for it

1437
01:10:22,917 --> 01:10:24,307
I wouldn't wanna do that either, dude

1438
01:10:24,495 --> 01:10:26,445
What a supreme way to end this all.

1439
01:10:26,445 --> 01:10:30,815
Unless you have anything else to bring
up, I think we're pretty much done, guys.

1440
01:10:30,945 --> 01:10:35,175
It's a little earlier than normal, but
we did have a longer bonus episode.

1441
01:10:35,185 --> 01:10:37,275
It's almost an hour, so you
can always go over there.

1442
01:10:38,915 --> 01:10:43,355
and we just didn't, we didn't have
Gardner to, to come in with his, uh,

1443
01:10:43,795 --> 01:10:48,405
his, his amazing takes on GTA or some
of the other stuff that's going on.

1444
01:10:48,405 --> 01:10:50,585
But, um,

1445
01:10:51,179 --> 01:10:55,369
Don't worry, we'll get his opinion next
week 'cause there will be GTA gameplay

1446
01:10:56,695 --> 01:10:58,395
That's, that's, that's right.

1447
01:10:59,415 --> 01:11:02,615
I'm out of- I- we'll see if I even end
up… Well, I'm gonna see it no matter

1448
01:11:02,615 --> 01:11:07,415
what, 'cause I, I, I browse social media
enough to where I'll see the GTA stuff.

1449
01:11:07,415 --> 01:11:10,872
I just… ' How long's the exclusivity
on Netflix for GTA VI, do you remember?

1450
01:11:10,961 --> 01:11:12,771
six hours actually

1451
01:11:12,997 --> 01:11:17,607
yeah, even like I'll, I'll see it before
the next… I'm just not gonna go out

1452
01:11:17,607 --> 01:11:19,497
of my way to watch it on, on Netflix.

1453
01:11:20,333 --> 01:11:21,213
Absolutely not, man.

1454
01:11:21,243 --> 01:11:24,713
You should not be buying a Netflix
subscription to b- to watch GTA.

1455
01:11:24,769 --> 01:11:25,579
I have one.

1456
01:11:25,789 --> 01:11:26,049
I have

1457
01:11:26,113 --> 01:11:27,203
I'm not, I like, like,

1458
01:11:27,223 --> 01:11:27,443
'
like

1459
01:11:27,549 --> 01:11:27,719
there's

1460
01:11:27,793 --> 01:11:28,203
if you ar-

1461
01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:29,219
things I like to watch

1462
01:11:30,023 --> 01:11:32,643
All right, like if you already have a
Netflix subscription, it's whatever.

1463
01:11:33,013 --> 01:11:33,993
Take advantage of that.

1464
01:11:34,313 --> 01:11:39,393
But I'm telling people not to go out
of your way to get a one-month Netflix

1465
01:11:39,393 --> 01:11:42,983
subscription to watch GTA gameplay.

1466
01:11:42,983 --> 01:11:44,033
It's stupid.

1467
01:11:45,045 --> 01:11:45,345
I don't

1468
01:11:45,353 --> 01:11:45,553
It's

1469
01:11:45,935 --> 01:11:47,405
I'm gonna flip on the other side.

1470
01:11:47,485 --> 01:11:52,955
Are you enough of a fan of GTA to buy
a Netflix account or a subscription?

1471
01:11:54,775 --> 01:11:55,365
Are you though?

1472
01:11:56,505 --> 01:11:56,855
I don't know.

1473
01:11:56,895 --> 01:12:00,225
Some people, maybe they just
don't have enough loyalty to them.

1474
01:12:01,153 --> 01:12:01,923
I don't know, man.

1475
01:12:02,045 --> 01:12:06,165
I am curious, though, I don't think
Netflix would give out that data,

1476
01:12:06,175 --> 01:12:10,295
but I'd be really curious to see
what signups are like for that.

1477
01:12:11,105 --> 01:12:15,235
they see, like, an uptick on the day
of or when the announcement was made to

1478
01:12:15,235 --> 01:12:18,355
see if there was actually… Like, if
there were people signing up for Netflix.

1479
01:12:20,607 --> 01:12:21,077
The Deck

1480
01:12:21,145 --> 01:12:22,465
hours is stupid.

1481
01:12:22,495 --> 01:12:25,095
If you can't wait six hours, th-
there's something wrong with you

1482
01:12:26,361 --> 01:12:27,261
Absolutely, man.

1483
01:12:27,261 --> 01:12:30,961
You know, you know, definitely
just, I don't know, do whatever.

1484
01:12:31,061 --> 01:12:31,861
It's your money.

1485
01:12:31,931 --> 01:12:32,801
We're not your parents.

1486
01:12:33,401 --> 01:12:35,281
But just know that we'll
judge you if you do.

1487
01:12:35,827 --> 01:12:36,697
I'll judge you.

1488
01:12:36,777 --> 01:12:38,157
I mean, there's plenty wrong with me.

1489
01:12:38,157 --> 01:12:41,297
If they were doing it for… Like,
don't get me wrong, I have the, the, the

1490
01:12:41,297 --> 01:12:43,107
sickness when it comes to Half-Life 3.

1491
01:12:43,117 --> 01:12:49,807
If Half-Life 3 was a six-hour window, uh,
you know, uh, or, you know, exclusivity

1492
01:12:49,807 --> 01:12:52,657
on Netflix, I would… I didn't have
a Netflix, I'd probably buy one.

1493
01:12:53,759 --> 01:12:54,499
Did ab

1494
01:12:54,667 --> 01:12:57,297
I have the sickness, but at
least it's for a tasteful game.

1495
01:12:59,107 --> 01:12:59,757
I'm sorry.

1496
01:13:00,417 --> 01:13:01,137
Ah, man.

1497
01:13:01,197 --> 01:13:01,927
I don't know, man.

1498
01:13:01,927 --> 01:13:05,657
I'm, uh, th- this is, th- th- there's
so much been ha- so much business been

1499
01:13:05,657 --> 01:13:07,117
hacking, happening this week, man.

1500
01:13:07,957 --> 01:13:10,207
I might just need to take
a nap after this podcast

1501
01:13:10,829 --> 01:13:12,179
gotta take, yeah, gotta take a nap.

1502
01:13:12,179 --> 01:13:13,609
You gotta get all rested, HiTech.

1503
01:13:13,619 --> 01:13:17,039
Get ready for next week 'cause,
you know, Half-Life 3 coming out.

1504
01:13:17,379 --> 01:13:20,839
We've got the, uh, Steam Frame.

1505
01:13:21,009 --> 01:13:25,949
We've got, The, uh, the
bro- I don't, not Gold.

1506
01:13:25,959 --> 01:13:28,519
What would be, like, the,
the platinum box coming out?

1507
01:13:28,539 --> 01:13:28,949
I don't know.

1508
01:13:28,949 --> 01:13:31,779
So what, some color box coming
out that Half-Life will g-

1509
01:13:31,779 --> 01:13:33,949
Half-Life 3, Portal 3, you know.

1510
01:13:34,785 --> 01:13:36,035
Orange Box Two

1511
01:13:37,019 --> 01:13:40,109
No, no, that would be really cheesy.

1512
01:13:40,789 --> 01:13:43,879
I think they'd have to
name it something else, but

1513
01:13:44,065 --> 01:13:46,635
I could see… I think it'd
be funny if they did that

1514
01:13:47,359 --> 01:13:48,299
Orange Box Two.

1515
01:13:49,039 --> 01:13:49,719
Yes

1516
01:13:51,019 --> 01:13:52,779
But it has all three's games in it

1517
01:13:53,975 --> 01:13:54,865
Dude, yes.

1518
01:13:55,905 --> 01:13:57,805
And then they'll never
release an Orange Box 3

1519
01:14:00,991 --> 01:14:01,481
Why?

1520
01:14:02,241 --> 01:14:02,591
I guess.

1521
01:14:02,601 --> 01:14:03,091
I don't know.

1522
01:14:03,241 --> 01:14:04,331
All I… Ah, man.

1523
01:14:05,971 --> 01:14:07,911
knows how to give us a good deal.

1524
01:14:08,051 --> 01:14:10,121
Like, The Orange Box was
probably one of the best deals

1525
01:14:10,121 --> 01:14:12,771
in gaming that type of stuff

1526
01:14:15,349 --> 01:14:16,159
Oh, they sure do.

1527
01:14:16,209 --> 01:14:18,079
They sure do know how to
give a good deal, you know?

1528
01:14:18,583 --> 01:14:20,643
Hopefully the Steam Frame's a good deal.

1529
01:14:20,733 --> 01:14:21,273
We'll see.

1530
01:14:21,423 --> 01:14:24,523
So with that, we'll
see you guys next week.

1531
01:14:24,523 --> 01:14:26,613
We'll let you know if there's
an announcement, and we'll

1532
01:14:26,623 --> 01:14:27,813
see what the price is.

1533
01:14:27,843 --> 01:14:31,623
We still don't know, so we'll see if
Valve is willing to give us a good

1534
01:14:31,623 --> 01:14:32,803
deal on the Steam Frame at least.

1535
01:14:32,823 --> 01:14:36,573
Um, I will say the Steam Machine,
when I first saw it, I'm like,

1536
01:14:36,803 --> 01:14:37,813
"Ugh, it's not a good deal."

1537
01:14:37,853 --> 01:14:40,633
After buying it for $1,000 and
how everything else is going

1538
01:14:40,633 --> 01:14:42,973
up, I think it's okay deal.

1539
01:14:42,973 --> 01:14:46,713
I d- I definitely think it's, like,
getting better and better, but do you.

1540
01:14:48,197 --> 01:14:49,337
All right, you guys take care now.

1541
01:14:49,997 --> 01:14:50,687
No.

1542
01:14:51,893 --> 01:14:52,153
No

1543
01:14:52,377 --> 01:14:52,517
All right

1544
01:14:53,093 --> 01:14:53,623
Peace out, guys.

1545
01:14:53,643 --> 01:14:54,173
Later.

1546
01:14:54,753 --> 01:14:55,313
Later.
