00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:46,040
little bit nice really didn't put the things in the dock which things there's

5
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:53,840

8
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,360

I've had a single square meal today all right then we're kind of on the same page

11
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:35,680
here does black coffee count I think so it does what it counts as coffee does

12
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,280
it count as a meal no I don't think so isn't the classic thing you need a

13
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,200
cigarette to black coffee and a cigarette that's if you're French I don't

14
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,520
like either those oh that's a French thing it might be Belgian vids very

15
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,760
European it's like all about my wife

16
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:09,760
liquid lunch baby all right okay should we do this thing yeah please think about

17
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:18,240
Europe it's 540 a.m. hmm good wake up and grind gamers wake up and grind are you

18
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,920
telling them to have sex they probably do that before before the table grinding

19
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:30,720
I was talking about boom get it Europeans it's what's for lunch they're

20
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,800
probably proud of that though so like I don't even feel like that's an insult what are these generalizations about Europeans that I'm not privy to I don't

21
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,600
know I'm just messing around with the Europeans the ones that are awake at this

22
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,640
time would think it's funny so I think I'm good all I know is that they're going

23
00:02:46,640 --> 00:03:04,480
to the bathroom oh yeah yeah okay should we do this thing I feel like we

24
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:15,680
should do this thing I feel like we should get this thing started I think longer are you sure because I can I do have that power I just you know I feel

25
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,480
like we we got to get I don't think we've had a WAN Show that we filmed in

26
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,960
PST get to 1 a.m. before like we can make it happen no we must have I don't

27
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:41,160
really I don't know for sure but in like other time zones sorry I just got to

28
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:48,520
check something a password because I was curious is there a reason yeah he's

29
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:57,440
clearly he's elsewhere he was busy he's he was gone doing important things and

30
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,640
important things took a long time very important things important things that

31
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:10,520
are not the switch to yeah I was doing switch to a lot of switch to action

32
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,600
going on I said I thought the switch to is really boring and then people scoffed

33
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,240
at me and then now it came out and everyone's all kind of like oh wow it's

34
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:30,640
really I don't think it's boring not that different really I think it's kind of boring okay this is all content okay I think I have the list okay I'm gonna

35
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:43,800
resume the selected let's do this thing okay ready okay make him wait for the

36
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,440
hockey game to be over how's that going do you solve this of course what's the

37
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520

00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:08,120
I'm not I'm just you know are we doing well do you know much about hockey look

40
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,080

41
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:20,600
in their end a lot it's a it's it's I didn't I only caught the last little bit

42
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,560
of the third period and then just the beginning of OT here I didn't catch most

43
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,400

46
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:46,040
I've been on that side I've been feeling it this time yeah I think it's

47
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,960
important I think this time they're on it they're on a mission it's time to come

48
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:59,760
home okay I need the where's like you're away for college and you know you just

49
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:07,120
graduated but your girlfriend broke up with you and it's just it's just it's just time to go home so time to go home you gotta go home you mean get back with

50
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,920
your girlfriend or sorry I don't follow your analogy home I've been away for two

hours go hang out with your parents get back home feel good figure out what's

52
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,720
going on with your crazy neighbor you can't really tell but you can hear

53
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:29,400
through the walls that they're just like fighting each other and then one of

54
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:40,760
the house and rages off on their electric car okay man we lost we lost

55
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:47,400
slamming down corded phones and now we lost like a cool sounding peel out of

56
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:56,840
the driveway because you're mad now it's just you hang up like this and then

57
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:05,640
go and it used to be it was so much cooler we lost that 8 liter v8 that

58
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:13,960
makes 70 horsepower yeah one gallon to the mile baby it will kill you but you

59
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,320
won't have been moving really that fast oh god okay I figured out the echo

60
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,200
people are like minus looks so concerned there was a double audio on my side that

61
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:32,400
was very troublesome oh okay okay I'm punching it okay all right can still

62
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,400
slam the door at least me really the soft touch no they're all like empty

63
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,920
corridors like made a cardboard okay do you go get it

00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,800

75
00:08:52,900 --> 00:09:02,840
Luke AMD is pulling an NVIDIA with the 90 60 XT 8 gig and YouTube was fighting

76
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Jeff Geerling and yeah they really were that was whack and we'll talk about it

77
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,480
there we go

78
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:40,400
square space Thoram and AMD with our rap partner dbrand laptop partner Dell and

79
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,560
chair partner secret lab I am 100% not on a secret lab chair this week I wish I

80
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:54,600
was and my crappy chair is the best part of my setup my webcams on a garbage

81
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,400
bin just to get the height right and to make sure that when I'm typing it's not

82
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,720
little wobbling all over the place so where it's gonna be a heck of a show

83
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,960
folks why don't we jump right into what is of course enthralling the entire

84
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:18,360
internet the big beautiful breakup this week the future of the EV solar and

85
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,400
space industries is in question after the very public collapse of the bromance

86
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,520
between what do you call himself techno king Elon Musk and US president Donald

87
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Trump on June 3rd Elon called the congressional spending bill known as

88
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:43,680
the big beautiful bill and abomination if you didn't know by the way the big

89
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,360
beautiful bills not really a nickname it's actually called the one big beautiful

90
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:55,000
bill act on June 5th Trump said a good way to save money could be canceling

91
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Elon's government contracts Elon fired back tweeting that he could just

92
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,920
decommission the SpaceX Dragon Crew in fact he didn't say he could he said he

93
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,240
would which would lead to the US having to ask Russia for rides to the ISS okay

94
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:22,040
let's pause for a second here um what can you just is it possible that we are

95
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,680
learning what the negative outcomes can be from having thin-skinned billionaires

96
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:34,440
control massive parts of like national security critical infrastructure is are

97
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:40,480
we learning that now yeah legitimately my first most immediate and strongest

98
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,800
feeling that I had when seeing this happening was oh this might actually be

99
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,080
a really good thing for NASA their budgets are probably still getting

100
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,400
slashed regardless which kind of sucks but we'll see but hopefully this was kind

101
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,160
of a learning moment of like oh wow we probably shouldn't have something so

102
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,480
critical almost entirely lean on one very specific external company because

103
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Boeing and Blue Origin really ain't it right now yeah I mean in fairness the

104
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,400
idea was to have multiple options that's where Boeing was supposed to come in

105
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,040
yeah I don't know it would be great if there was multiple options but I also

106
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,240
don't think that in my in my opinion I don't think we should be at a state where

107
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,160
NASA is incapable of doing the thing we should just be at a state where it makes

108
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:38,160
more economic sense for a you know what a NGO whatever a corporation to do the

109
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,080
thing instead hey look I'm I'm pro-competition right 100 and sometimes

110
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,520
competition can take place between private and public entities and there

111
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,040
are wild kind of competition things that that SpaceX has done which is great so

112
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040
if they're winning like the majority of the contracts that's fine but we want

113
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,840
super to be in the space we don't want there to be a situation where it is

114
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,560
actually the US asking Russia for rides the ISS again because there's a spat

115
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:08,680
between a corporate a corporate and the president that's crazy we don't want this

116
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:15,880
to be a thing it doesn't matter if it's Elon it doesn't matter if it's Trump that's irrelevant to be completely honest I don't want to be a thing ever no the

117
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,160
crazy part Luke is that we're not even talking about a spat between a corporate

118
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,360
entity and the president really it's a we are talking about a spat between an

119
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:31,360
individual who holds this unbelievable I would say unprecedented amount of

120
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:41,960
control over the United States' ability to do space yeah this is a super like

121
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,960
nation-level political issue right now because you're you're there's like sort

122
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:53,960
of a Cold War space race type thing going on between the US and China right

123
00:13:53,960 --> 00:14:00,360
now there's this like get back on to the moon thing that's going on and it's

124
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:06,560
it's it's interesting how that's gonna be playing out there's there's the draw

125
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:11,920
back of there's the potential drawback of Artemis which you know I'm really

126
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,240
hoping it's not gonna happen yeah like Drac Ryu in full plane chat said we we

127
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:24,720
still have the Artemis rockets and it's like yeah but they're trying to pull that program back this is my whole point I I think we should recognize this

128
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,640
issue that is showing its face right now even though a lot of people kind of

129
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,480
knew it existed already and go oh maybe we shouldn't be crushing the NASA budgets

130
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,880
if anything maybe they should pump up a little bit I do support the idea of

131
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:44,040
looking at efficiencies there and making sure they're actually being properly efficient because there is some question marks like why the heck can't we get

132
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:51,880
back to the moon right now that's awkward but yeah I think it's it's dangerous

133
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:58,280
to put all of your chips in one corporation and that's effectively how it

134
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:04,960
is right now and that's not good yeah I'm hoping that will result in in very

135
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:10,800
good things yeah let's keep going okay later on June the 5th some random

136
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,320
account told Elon to cool it he listens and walks back the dragon decommissioning

137
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,600
because obviously that was never happening yeah he was gonna do this yeah

138
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:27,720
that was insane Tesla stock took a dive from the kerfuffle partially because the

139
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,720
big beautiful bill will make a number of things worse for EV makers and EV owners

140
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,440
including removing government incentives for EVs and solar and requiring new

141
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:45,240
yearly payments from EV owners I know the yearly payments part what I am

142
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:51,960
extremely confused by by a lot of this it's been it's been sort of mind-blowing

143
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:59,840
to watch this bromance develop when you have people whose agendas are so

144
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,600
completely opposed to each other and to watch the way that they have publicly

145
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,400
pretended to be aligned like that whole thing where they did they shot a Tesla

146
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:20,000
commercial on the dude yeah in front of the White House I think it was I think

147
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,960
it was CNN so I got a picture of Trump's Tesla it's just like still parked

148
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:31,280
there I mean he wouldn't be driving it anyways like he apparently actually

149
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,480
bought it and it's just still there I don't know that he actually paid for it

150
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,840
I would have no way of knowing whether that actual transaction took place or

151
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,920
not but apparently the car is just still sitting there which is hilarious

152
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,840
anyway in the past Elon has actually supported removing all government

153
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,640
incentives for EV and solar but also for oil and gas but the big beautiful

154
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,640
bill keeps oil and gas incentives in place which Elon sees as unfair but I

155
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,120
mean I think the question here is two-fold and I think I've made my

156
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:15,760
position very clear on you know whether whether I think whether I think Elon

157
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:21,120
has shown who he is at this point or not he's shown who he is to me and when

158
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:24,400
people show you who they are you should believe them I believe him he showed

159
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,240
you is but this much is this much I think makes very clear how opportunistic

160
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:38,320
this whole this whole relationship was how obviously driven by an agenda of

161
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,360
deregulation for his own companies the whole thing was the second that that

162
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,560
kind of fell apart obviously two egos the size of these guys we're gonna

163
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,480
result in this kind of a blow-up it's actually it happened faster and more

164
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:57,720
explosively than I could have possibly anticipated and I think the the icing on

165
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:05,800
the cake for me is not actually in our notes but Elon posted the reason that

166
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,320
the administration won't release the Epstein files is because Trump is in

167
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:16,600
them have a nice day DJT something along those lines and it's like so so you're

168
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,320
cool with them this whole time so you think you're the good guy because you

169
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:28,600
literally spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get this guy elected and then

170
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:35,800
after the fact you're like yeah and like I knew that he was in the Epstein

171
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:44,440
blogs also I thought everyone knew that for like ages like we know him haven't

172
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,480
known that forever yeah like what do you I guess maybe he's saying that he's in

173
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:57,960
parts that we haven't seen I don't know I mean I mean they're like I have no idea

174
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,960
yeah I'm not I'm gonna get the details wrong but when the whole thing was going

175
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,560
down with Jeffrey Epstein and Max Max Maxine Maxwell whatever her name was

176
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:15,320
to Zane Maxwell when that whole thing was going down like Trump didn't even denounce

177
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,920
Epstein right out of the gate like there the whole thing's been so obvious and

178
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,800
ridiculous anyway silver lining Tesla's offering zero percent financing on

179
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,160
cyber trucks if you buy it with full self-driving which amounts to about I

180
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,640
think a $2,000 discount because you have to spend money on full self-driving

181
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,600
which Lord only knows if Tesla is ever going to deliver at this point it was

182
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,680
really interesting watching silver lining

183
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,520
no Riley's just memeing I think okay I think Riley did this topic

184
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,480
yeah it's been it's been interesting watching watching Elon slowly admit the

185
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,960
things that I've been saying for years at this point the current hardware is not

186
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:06,360
gonna work they're gonna have to like upgrade like millions of cars if people

187
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,040
ultimately demand to have the thing that they were promised that is if they can

188
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,880
ever deliver it with all cameras which I personally do not think they will

189
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,800
good luck everybody and this goes to show why having a bunch of having a bunch of

190
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,760
like rich dudes running everything is probably not the way

191
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,440
I feel I feel for my American friends though I gotta be honest with you

192
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Panda Shoot said Tesla is already using autopilot to deliver cars to buyers in Texas

193
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:43,480
that's neat that's yeah cool but it's not everything it's super cool but what it isn't

194
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,600
is level four or five autonomy it isn't that it's cool but it isn't level four or five

195
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,200
autonomy and what we've known about Tesla's culture for many many years now is that they

196
00:20:54,200 --> 00:21:00,920
are a culture of opacity they are not a culture of transparency they redact the

197
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:07,720
all the details of the incidents that autopilot and full self-driving vehicles are involved in

198
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:17,080
they don't respond to inquiries from media they don't they don't respect others right to have

199
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,800
knowledge and information about the beta testing that they're performing on public roads

200
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:28,520
putting people's lives at risk these are these are these are things that we've known for a very

201
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:37,560
very very long time and when somebody breaks my trust I don't trust them anymore like you can't

202
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:43,000
just keep breaking my trust over and over again and saying yeah but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

203
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,440
show you I'm not gonna show you but it's like it's working really good but I'm not gonna show you

204
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,640
how it's working really good but trust me it's really good it's gonna be ready it's gonna be

205
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:59,560
ready next year this time like literally right that's what fool me once shame on you

206
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:06,920
fool me twice shame on me means if somebody shows you who they are believe them

207
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,680
all right so uh yeah anyway well sorry what I was gonna say is I feel for my american friends

208
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,960
because I don't feel like they had a lot of great options um this last election and uh

209
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,160
you know I I'm I'm really I'm rooting for you guys I saw I saw Walmart increase the price of

210
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:33,480
bananas corresponding to the tariffs and like there's this there's this hilarious exchange where

211
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:41,560
oh yeah was uh challenging a lick here whatever on like hey yeah tariffs are affecting pricing

212
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,840
he's like yeah but you know like if things are made in america then it's fine and uh they're like

213
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:54,520
yo you can't grow bananas in america I think the best part was he said um you should build it in

214
00:22:54,520 --> 00:23:01,640
america and they're like you can't build bananas in america yeah just the wording was great oh man

215
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:10,120
I uh yeah nipolas cage says we don't choose our candidates yeah 100 and look I'm not going to get

216
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:16,600
into you know the whole thing that happened with kamala right because that whole thing was just

217
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:22,120
such an epic failure on the democratic party side just the way the whole the way it played out I don't

218
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:26,280
think anyone got a chance to figure out if she was a decent candidate or not she campaigned for

219
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:36,440
like six weeks so yeah man um we feel for you guys for what it's worth yeah just as you says tech

220
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:42,360
please didn't come here for politics you're 100 right it's just that man are they ever affecting

221
00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:48,120
tech a lot right now yeah like I had a really interesting conversation with someone today

222
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:52,520
can't say who it is because I'm I'm on a bit of a trip right now that's a bit of a secret

223
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,480
but I had a really interesting conversation with someone today and they were talking about a product

224
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,920
that was unrelated to what I'm doing so you know just you know and totally unrelated to what I'm

225
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,640
doing totally unrelated everything but I was just chatting with somebody about a product

226
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,200
that they were working on you know development was done they were ready to deliver it to market

227
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,680
it was going to come in at a really aggressive price point and then they looked at it they did all the

228
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:23,480
math for what it was going to look like with import tariffs and basically it completely killed it

229
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,600
for the us so we can say all day like oh yeah we don't want to talk about politics we don't want to

230
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:35,000
care about politics right now but they are having a huge impact on the affordability of technology

231
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:45,800
which I think not I think which I believe is the biggest problem that we have in tech right now

232
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,800
we have cool tech it's just it's getting out of reach

233
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,080
yeah and none of this stuff is helping I think this is a good transition to

234
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:06,360
said switch to because I I bought one me I got it I'm it's very weird that I got it

235
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,960
because yeah I was going to say I thought you weren't buying one no I wasn't buying one until

236
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:18,680
I got it from willow but it's weird that I got it from willow already because I didn't contact

237
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:26,680
them very early about a pre-order and I technically only actually reserved myocard world I didn't

238
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,200
actually reserve the switch because when I called them they're like we don't know when we're getting

239
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:37,720
the consoles so they called me about my okay we have myocard world and I was like cool I'm

240
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,240
actually going to wait until you guys also have a console and they were like cool yeah we'll let

241
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,040
you know and then like a couple hours later they were like somebody just canceled we have a console

242
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:54,040
for you no way there was no line yeah and I understand this could be seen as a success

243
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,320
because uh you know they actually made enough which is great but I talked to Nintendo said

244
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,440
they would they said that's what they were going to do they were like we are we are we are pumping

245
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,720
these we are making some consoles here ladies and gentlemen which is awesome except that's our

246
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:15,800
anti scalping strategy except yeah I talked to the the owner of willow while I was there

247
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,520
picking it up yeah and I asked them I was like what his demand been like and she was like

248
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:28,200
yeah a lot lower than we expected like a lot lower and she's talking about it's it's for

249
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,360
it's for everything like not a ton of the games are flying off the shelf either the accessory

250
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:37,160
sales are a little bit lower than expected so like someone might come in and buy the like

251
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,680
cheaper because you want a game myocard switch bundle thing but then they're not buying a pro

252
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:48,520
controller with it or the the wheel add-on thingy for the new pro controllers or whatever else

253
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:55,880
um and it's just it's really expensive the economy is in complete shambles right now just

254
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,800
worldwide so like people are not only are they they don't necessarily have a lot of money but

255
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,120
there's also an incredible amount of economic uncertainty so you might not yeah I was going

256
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:11,800
to say the shambles is not even the entire story of the problem right now yeah it's the uncertainty

257
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,520
like you were you were chatting with um you were chatting with a guy who runs some factories

258
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:23,160
let's not get any more specific than that sure who basically was like yeah I have multi million

259
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:30,680
like many millions dollars investments that I was making you know in the lead up to COVID around

260
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:39,160
COVID after COVID um and then you know during the first um you know big red tie administration

261
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:48,040
and afterward and and you know I've and right now I'm just holding pattern no investment no plan

262
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:55,400
no idea because when things change on a weekly basis you can't make a plan you don't you don't

263
00:27:55,400 --> 00:28:04,360
build a factory in a span of of weeks or months it takes years and so when you're planning that far

264
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:10,600
out and things are changing so fast it's it's devastating to your ability to execute to get

265
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:17,160
anything done um and to your point about the sort of the economy being really terrifying right now

266
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,960
dude I sent this to the executive chat so I know you've already seen it but Coachella apparently

267
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,240
failed to sell out for the second year in a row which okay you know whatever right like sometimes

268
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,920
a concert doesn't sell out I get it I mean I've never been to Coachella I don't really it's not

269
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,600
really my jam I don't really care so I'm not saying like everyone should go to Coachella or

270
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,960
anything like that it's not my pitch what I'm saying is that that is an unusual occurrence

271
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:47,320
and the kicker this is the part that really blew my mind of the people that went apparently

272
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:55,560
half of them about half of them financed their tickets which there's a lot to unpack there right

273
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:02,920
so one people like need to finance concert tickets or something and two people are making

274
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:10,360
the financial decision to finance concert tickets yeah because people need Coachella tickets are like

275
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,080
I've never got either but I've heard they're incredibly expensive and even if it's not Coachella

276
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:21,160
like concerts around here can be really expensive like I can understand someone needing to finance

277
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,920
it if they must buy it but I think traditionally usually people just don't make they don't do that

278
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,600
they don't make that decision so I feel like the big shift is that people are doing it now

279
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:43,800
I think that a lot of people have given up on just being completely underwater debt wise because

280
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,080
there doesn't feel like there's another route out as far as my understanding goes people have

281
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:56,440
people are looking at future prospects and this is why stuff like okay also regulation on stuff

282
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,400
like advertising and whatnot has dramatically changed but you see a massive increase in bedding

283
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:09,160
not just in standard bedding but you've got like crypto it coin bedding and you've got I did press

284
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,680
the thing I know you can't hear you've got you got that you've got sports betting you've got all

285
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,680
the stuff that's taking off right now even though like logically gaming gaming going pure gambling

286
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:27,240
yeah true logically you should be able to look at gambling and be like yeah this is obviously for

287
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:33,960
so many reasons just kind of dumb but then people are doing it because while it might not be the

288
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,920
most intelligent there is technically a chance and if you can make your money go boom it's the

289
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,520
only shot you got so people are taking that and thinking that it's like a logical decision I will

290
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:51,560
I will bet my entire future on this thing because if I don't I fail anyways what future is there

291
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,560
anyway yeah and like oh my god we don't we don't want that society we do we do not want to be in

292
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:05,720
that situation that is so bad I anyways you know what I just want to say we're going to promote

293
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,360
the store today you know like we're going to promote our new items or our promos or you know

294
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:19,160
whatever but we have made the very conscious decision to not have buy now pay later functionality

295
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:25,640
on our shop it would increase sales and while we while we absolutely do obviously support you

296
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:32,760
know credit cards through our through our store I would implore you that if you're in a position

297
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,640
where you're not buying with a credit card just because you like getting points and you're going

298
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,120
to pay it off right away like that's fine but if you're buying with a credit card because you can't

299
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,520
like afford that LTT Store purchase then I would really prefer that you simply not

300
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:56,840
make the purchase right now you know get above water get things together keep your head up and

301
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,720
you know find find find little things that you can enjoy you know find find a free to play game to

302
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:10,360
play find find something else to you know get that hit right

303
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,640
man it's like it's stressful right because obviously like I'm saying this coming from

304
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:23,320
a position of things have been a little soft on the store like we're we are seeing it and it's not

305
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,840
just the you know the tariff impact right from the pricing being different because a lot of our

306
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:35,480
prices we've actually managed to bring pretty close to what they were a pre-adjustment and

307
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:43,000
pre the split between the global and the US store so we're like we're seeing firsthand it's it's

308
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:50,600
really interesting running a media company that also has these other these other branches you know

309
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,600
yeah people are bringing up that I didn't even know you could do this but apparently you can buy

310
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:03,560
now pay later through PayPal seriously I didn't even know that was a thing I actually didn't know

311
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:10,520
that was a thing either I've never I've never really used PayPal heavily here in here in North

312
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:16,120
America and I know this is like a really foreign concept to some of our overseas community but

313
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:22,440
here in North America the play is generally to use credit cards that have very generous rewards

314
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:29,560
programs and then pay them off right away that's like that's like the hack and so other than

315
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:35,720
forgetting a couple of times in my life since I was 16 and I got my first credit card I have always

316
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:42,600
only spent what I have in my bank balance and then I have paid it off right away and with that

317
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,480
I've been able to get cash back travel rewards extended warranties on electronics that I've

318
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:54,360
purchased like there's all kinds of really cool benefits that you can get but it takes strict

319
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,640
discipline and I totally understand why a lot of people make the choice to not use a credit card

320
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,320
and so to use you know something like PayPal instead but I had no idea that PayPal actually

321
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:09,160
supported by now pay later that yeah PayPal pushes pay in four to six months no interest on purchases

322
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,920
over a hundred dollars yeah I'm looking at it right now paying yeah I'm just checking out the chat

323
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:21,400
and apparently like someone said I think Apple Pay also does it or something I lost a message but

324
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,920
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple and Google Pay do it this is rough too because if we kill PayPal

325
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,360
people will be pissed oh no there's no way not even because of the pay in four a monthly thing it's

326
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,160
because like you said in some countries it's like and not only in some countries for some people

327
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,280
it's just the only way they pay for stuff yeah and I don't mean the financing part of it I mean the

328
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:52,120
rest of it so you can't even fully get away from it yikes I mean we could take a principled stance

329
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:58,280
and we could you know remove it from our store or whatever but the reality of it is that we'd be

330
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:03,960
hurting ourselves a lot more than we'd be hurting PayPal and I just and we'd be hurting specifically

331
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:12,440
customers that were using PayPal without that yes so I just I don't think that is uh I don't think

332
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:19,160
that's a realistic I don't think that's a realistic outcome here um someone said Walmart's physical

333
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:25,320
checkout has clarinum micro loans built in I know some delivery food apps have it apparently

334
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:33,560
yeah fine yeah I saw I saw some of the memes about how like when you can when you can pay for a

335
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:39,720
taco with financing uh that's how we know we've reached the end times it's over man like that's uh

336
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:42,520
also like

337
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:53,400
I mean hilariously don't do that just to give you some idea of how destructive it could be to

338
00:35:53,400 --> 00:36:01,080
the customer experience to nuke PayPal um you know there were some high-profile YouTubers who

339
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:07,480
publicly you know threatened legal action against PayPal that in spite of that very much

340
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,960
still accepted PayPal for their like merch store so like it's just it's not really it's not really

341
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,760
viable because the customer demands it and not just demands it but in many cases relies on it

342
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:27,960
yeah so oh that is such a great reference drac rayou I wish I could dude how cool would it be if

343
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,600
we had like the ability to give people points in Floatplane chat they could like use it for

344
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,760
like a discount on their next thing or something like on their next store purchase or something

345
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,000
I don't know that's a cool feature idea but um we don't do line of sled development anymore

346
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,640
anyway drac rayou says I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a cheeseburger today that is that

347
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:55,000
what a reference what a reference man I love it that's pretty I would I would love to give you

348
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,640
a point or something I don't even think we have gifted subs yet maybe someday no maybe someday

349
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:05,240
anyway let's talk about the switch too so yes um luke you you were gonna say something in the

350
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:09,640
pre-show and I was like ah content but I don't remember what you said oh I was saying when

351
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,080
when the announcement first happened we were talking about on when I talked about how I thought

352
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:19,160
it was like kind of boring yeah and I still feel that way I haven't even opened the box yet

353
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:25,640
dude clear I don't even I don't even agree at all I think it's boring I look at the history of

354
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:31,400
nintendo consoles man it's boring well hold on hold on hold on everybody back up everybody back up

355
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:38,600
for a second what it is though is what it tries to be it's it's what it is really good at being

356
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:46,200
boring hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on okay by that logic by that logic let's say

357
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:56,440
let's say that NVIDIA released a GPU tomorrow that instead of costing 300 cost 450 dollars

358
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:03,720
and had 4x 5x the performance would that be boring but that that's not what we're talking about

359
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:09,240
because it's been a decade but it doesn't matter the point is that what we had well hold on what we

360
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:16,520
had was this what we have now is this times four yeah which is what other consoles do

361
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,480
which is boring it's not what nintendo has historically largely done with almost every

362
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:27,640
generation for a nintendo console this is boring it's cool I bought one I'm excited about it I'm

363
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:33,080
happy to go home and take it out of the box I'm happy about the product I still think it's boring

364
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,320
but you're coming at this from the perspective of someone who hasn't even turned it on yet I'm

365
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,920
coming at this from the perspective of someone who has historically looked at nintendo consoles as

366
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:48,040
almost every single launch is a really exciting experience to see what interesting curious driven

367
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:53,080
engineers have brought to the table in terms of changing how gaming is done and what I'm seeing

368
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,680
is is a console that's faster a dock that is better and cartridges that don't even have the damn games

369
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:06,680
on them and that's all fair but let me tell you I spent the 15 canadian dollars on the enhanced

370
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:14,840
version of breath in the wild and I'm stoked and and in terms of because look look I mean I don't

371
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:21,640
think I expect gaming hardware to excite me anymore what I expect to excite me is gaming

372
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:26,520
and maybe maybe what I'm doing is I'm channeling a little bit of you know what David and Plouffe

373
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,880
talking about from the art challenge where they were like okay you know does it like do I

374
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,080
with them they were talking about like pixel peeping you know like do I actually need

375
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:43,560
better performance and in this case the better performance is not just about you know pixel

376
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,840
peeping a little bit and having like slightly smoother frame rate or whatever it's about

377
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,560
changing the way that I can experience the game and for something like breath of the wild

378
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:59,720
we're aiming when you're dropping down into frame rates in the low 20s sometimes where you're

379
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:06,040
getting these like these these stutters um where your display is I mean on the OLED it's beautiful I

380
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:11,560
would personally take the OLED display over the the HDR non OLED display on the switch too but

381
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,840
especially I mean I played through breath of the wild on the original switch and if you had told me

382
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:23,720
at that time that I could have a new switch that's just basically everything that was good

383
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:29,800
about the switch and innovative about the switch but fixed it just like fixed all my problems that

384
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:35,080
would change the gameplay experience enough for me to be really excited I I feel like I enjoy playing

385
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:41,800
on it called this a pro or something or I feel like who would have old nintendo like if you look

386
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:51,320
at some of the ds versions they had where it was like 3ds uh plus new colorful edition whatever

387
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:57,720
I feel like they would have iterated because like it's I just I don't see a ton of like even with

388
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:04,520
the game cube it's like okay it was small and they put a handle on it like they tried something

389
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:10,120
they tried something and with this one it's just like I don't know it's um they did the thing with

390
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,560
the dock that they like obviously should have done the first time um make it higher performance you

391
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:23,160
mean yeah put a fan on it like just come on it really really wouldn't have taken a lot okay but

392
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:30,040
tell me this okay a couple of the recent times relatively recent okay I'm old a couple times

393
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:37,240
that nintendo has taken big risks and done something really different okay so your game cube example

394
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:45,880
the Wii U they were they got pounded into the dirt commercially for doing that do I would I blame

395
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,360
them at all I don't think I mean that's not your argument your argument is not that it's not smart

396
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,000
your argument is that it's not exciting yeah I think it's decent smart I find I find this kick

397
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:01,400
stand pretty exciting this is going to change the usability of this device for me I you know what

398
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,440
I'm excited by the fact that they included micro sd express I saw I saw someone commenting on my

399
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:13,480
unboxing video like why would Linus think it's positive for um nintendo to include this standard

400
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,360
that like no one really supports it because they're forward thinking yeah that doesn't you don't need

401
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:23,320
the micro sd card today you need it when it's time to expand the storage and micro sd express is

402
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:30,920
going to be sick and by taking it mainstream dude dude looking at what happened to the pricing of

403
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:37,400
high capacity micro sd cards once the once the switch supported them it was awesome because it

404
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:44,920
went mainstream we hit volume production it was great so nintendo helping to drive like industry

405
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:50,360
standard memory card form factors like micro sd express I love it yeah I'm excited for it I'm

406
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:57,480
not going to apologize for that this is great yeah I wonder like at the same time I think like

407
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:03,720
and I don't even know if this is true and I don't want to you know I can need this to pump the boys

408
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:09,320
but like does the does the kill switch um just have that kickstand

409
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,680
yeah and I didn't the original kill switch passes through oh it just passes through yeah it just

410
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,840
passes this kickstand through because this kickstand is really nice what kickstand did the original

411
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,720
kill switch have the original kill switch or the original switch kill switch I know what the

412
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,440
I can't remember I think it did have a oh it had that weird magnetic it had its own

413
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,560
kickstand and then it became a clip or something remember that there was like an engineering

414
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,840
issue with it and they they had to change how it worked on the back someone in chat will someone

415
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,080
in chat will probably probably let us know I see a thing yeah it has its own kickstand so like that

416
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,520
was I do agree with you that it's it's better I really like the new kickstand but yeah it's not

417
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:57,240
that you couldn't solve that previously to be clear and I do think I understand Wii U was rough

418
00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:02,760
I think the actual Wii U was great genuinely I think that was purely a marketing failure

419
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:09,480
in in my opinion oh yeah um so it's that's that's a tough one um and to be clear there are things

420
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:16,920
that I'm really not happy about you know I am I am not stoked that you know voice chat is going to

421
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,840
like I'm not stoked at the way that Nintendo is paywalling more and more and more of the

422
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:29,160
functionality of their console behind Nintendo online um I've talked in the past about how

423
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,640
on principle I refuse to subscribe to Nintendo online because they don't allow you to back up

424
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:43,720
your save games to the micro sd card that is obvious functionality that is just obviously

425
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Nintendo holding hostage your ability to keep your games safe yeah which on which on a portable

426
00:44:51,080 --> 00:45:00,440
device is particularly offensive um I like I'm and so I'm frustrated because even though obviously

427
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:06,680
like I want to acknowledge my privilege here for a second I can afford Nintendo online yeah for sure

428
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:15,800
no problem maybe a couple of them but I shouldn't have to to have basic functionality like that so

429
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:21,800
I won't and the more and more that they lock behind it the more degraded and like a second

430
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:27,960
class citizen I'm going to feel like with this thing I paid 450 us dollars for so yeah it's

431
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:33,960
expensive so I'm not happy about that apparently the joy con tear down was not good and they are

432
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,600
it looks like we don't know for sure because we have no way of knowing for sure until it

433
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:44,360
actually happens but it looks like stick drift is just gonna continue to be a problem and I

434
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,840
think I have either four or six joy cons in my house I forget I think we had six at one point

435
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:54,360
I think we're down to four now of of the joy I think it's four of the four joy cons that I

436
00:45:54,360 --> 00:46:00,120
took on my last trip though so those four three of them have severe stick drift and one of them

437
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:08,520
has moderate stick drift and our consoles are not even super heavily used like it's like it's

438
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:13,480
bad it's not a matter of if it'll fail it's a matter of when it'll fail which is really frustrating

439
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,800
this is like breaking so it's fine that it wasn't in the topic to be clear just in case anyone's

440
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:24,920
reviewing this but in full-point chat people are talking and they linked me to a toms hardware

441
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:31,320
article that for you mr. Linus I linked in the bottom of the the Nintendo switch to topic thanks

442
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:39,080
bud but I'm gonna share my screen now hackers discover Nintendo switch to x plate one day

443
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:49,240
after launch minor hack allows running custom code on top of os no way that's crazy man

444
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,600
that is they got it to run a uh like frame buffer check already

445
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,320
I saw I saw that somewhere else that's probably the reddit thread that people are linking I'm going

446
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:07,480
to not share my screen before I click on the reddit the the reddit link that people are posting

447
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,080
oh no right that was something there's a lot more for us to talk through here either way

448
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:22,920
at least partially jailbroken already which is wild but yeah keep going yeah in addition to the

449
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:29,640
joy cons being potentially susceptible to failure I fixed it gave it a three out of ten

450
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:35,320
repairability score the og was four out of ten in part this is due to a ton of stickers that have

451
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:40,520
to be destroyed to access the screws the battery being glued in and the usb ports and game cartridge

452
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:47,080
slot being soldered to the main board joy cons are apparently even harder to fix as well

453
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:54,840
how do they get it so early day yeah so that was one of our discussion questions is what is your

454
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:00,840
take on nintendo opting to not send out review units does that communicate that they felt they

455
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:05,640
had something to hide or does it communicate a deep level of confidence in this product

456
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:11,560
I could see it both ways man I could absolutely see it both ways I don't think nintendo

457
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:19,720
much likes the media I could put it that way I mean I could see why they don't like me much

458
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,000
yeah yeah that makes sense it's not like they didn't give it to any media they were just

459
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:32,200
obviously extremely selective about who they gave it to yeah curiously like I saw I saw some choices

460
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:39,960
that were like non gamers and I'm like I yeah they nintendo wants to be lifestyle even though it's

461
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:46,440
gaming um yeah that's always been a weird one to me yeah it's like here's an alarm clock yeah by the

462
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:53,000
way this alarm clock will mean nothing to you and you won't care about it at all unless you are 100

463
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:00,600
percent a gamer yeah uh jeff jk says quit whinging and y'all will get one oh dude it has nothing to

464
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:06,680
do with whining and everything to do with a not many people getting one and nintendo's choices being

465
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:13,720
baffling and b to do with the fact that we openly talk about emulation like let's be real here

466
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:19,480
yeah and we criticize nintendo's one of those companies is very much like apple um that the

467
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:27,480
way that they work is they engage with media that align with their vision and um nintendo

468
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:33,800
surprisingly does engage with us to a limited degree from time to time they'll you know answer an

469
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,920
email I believe we got a review unit of the switch light actually in fact we might have

470
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,800
even gotten a review unit of the switch back in the day so they they do engage with us from time to

471
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:51,080
time um they're not just radio silent like apple but um I I suspect that there are folks at nintendo

472
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,680
who would just kind of rather not talk to us or acknowledge us and I get that I get that

473
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,320
I know I know I've been harping on how it's boring I'm just I'm just sitting here trying to think of

474
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:07,000
like like I know they did they did kind of the joy cons with the we and then they expanded upon it

475
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,080
with the we you and they had the joy con plus or expansion pack or whatever it was called and then

476
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:17,000
now we have the little switch joy cons and I have the newer switch to joy cons or whatever

477
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:23,880
it would have been kind of cool to see them go back pretty far um and go to like a glove or

478
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:29,160
something like a haptic glove would have been sick or I mean or something I know they're like

479
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,400
they're again they want to be lifestyle they want to get people outside if they embrace to this

480
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:40,680
you know ne attic just sold itself to some terrifying company um but I have loved this

481
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:46,600
concept where like I'll play pokemon go for hours and no one will have any idea because I'll be

482
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:53,000
walking around a park or something and I've got my little dongle thing in my pocket and it's just

483
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:58,200
buzzing away catching pokemon and I'm walking hands-free playing a game without looking at a screen

484
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,320
it would be cool if they tried to get people outside or something but while still playing

485
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,400
their games like I think there's opportunities that they could have taken and they just went

486
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,680
yeah it's faster we don't know that they won't do stuff though I mean I don't think anyone saw the

487
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:18,120
cardboard kits coming with the original switch that's very true the labo yeah yeah that's

488
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:25,560
come on don't count them out that's very quirky ideas like it's still nintendo and it's it's the

489
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,920
switch but it's like way better on it and like dude I haven't played much Mario Kart World yet

490
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:37,880
because um I they made me go shoot other stuff okay I shouldn't say they made me go shoot other

491
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:43,320
stuff when I was doing my ShortCircuit unboxing was that yesterday good lord yeah yesterday

492
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:51,400
yesterday morning I was shooting the unboxing and I got to one level or one one track that has

493
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:57,640
like a wave racer section where you're like on CDs and oh dude it's like freaking awesome

494
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:03,640
um so like I haven't gotten to play much because I finished that shoot and then I went straight to

495
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:09,000
one on upgrading the storage of non-upgradable max we had a guest come in really excited for

496
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,880
you guys to see that video I actually got to upgrade the storage on a non-upgradable like

497
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:19,960
soldered motherboard Mac myself with tools that we have in our shop so I thought that was pretty sick

498
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:25,400
and then I had to go home and pack and then I've been busy all day so I haven't and now I'm

499
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,000
doing my show so I haven't really gotten a chance to play but the little bit that I've played dude

500
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:36,040
the controls feel so good the bigger joysticks are more than welcome the bigger face buttons are great

501
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:43,320
the big screen the screen is great and when you compare the size the thickness the weight

502
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:49,640
the general chunk of this device to PC handhelds that have a similar size of screen or similar

503
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:55,800
class of screen when I first saw leaked images of the switch too I was like oh my god it's too big

504
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,360
it's ridiculous forget it it's basically a handheld PC they've completely lost track of what it means

505
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:06,760
to build a handheld console like the the Nintendo of the of the DS light days would look at this

506
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:14,120
and cry for shame but now that it's in my hand I really like it we have some more discussion

507
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:21,560
questions about the switch one of them is what is your prediction for lifetime sales of the switch

508
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:29,320
too and related related will it end up being to your point more of a switch pro with the og

509
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:36,120
continuing to sell well alongside its successor like is this going to be a ps2 where Nintendo

510
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:41,640
just can't discontinue that damn first gen switch and I'd love to hear from you guys in the comments

511
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:47,080
as well I would actually say yes because the price delta between the two is so enormous

512
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:55,800
that there are going to be many people that just can't afford it and it'll be much more affordable

513
00:53:55,800 --> 00:54:02,280
and still a cool experience to try to being so old to have an original switch so

514
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,600
it just it'll be what it is I don't know

515
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,520
jacks raise jacks raises a really important point around this launch not going to give them any my

516
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,840
any of my money if they threaten to brick my property because they somehow happen to learn

517
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:25,880
I emulate or whatever stop giving them coverage is my suggestion so the first bit yeah that's a

518
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,840
really good point Nintendo's changed to their terms of service allowing them to remotely brick

519
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:36,520
property that you paid for unacceptable absolutely well what we need though is legislation making

520
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,680
that illegal because companies are just going to keep pushing the envelope on this and I don't think

521
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:45,640
that Nintendo is unique in that regard as for your suggestion that I just stop covering things

522
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,040
it's not really an option there were a lot of suggestions actually on the unboxing of the

523
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:56,200
switch like more than just a couple that we just shouldn't be covering it and I don't really know

524
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:01,240
I don't really know how to address that because you see NVIDIA stuff too yeah I don't really because

525
00:55:01,240 --> 00:55:10,840
it's my it's like what what should I cover today then you know it's like actually my job anymore

526
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:15,560
and it's not just my job right like it's all the people who work here it's our it's our job to

527
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:21,000
to cover this stuff and to do the best job that we can and at the same time to highlight

528
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:28,120
the things that are not great about these releases and and and do our job as as members of the media

529
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:33,880
to educate people on what's good about things and what's bad about them so to me it almost feels

530
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:42,600
like it's like when you ask the um you know the ethical person that works at a government agency

531
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:50,200
who resigns because they were asked to do something that was not okay it's like it's like being happy

532
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:55,480
when they resign knowing that ultimately they're going to be replaced by someone who just does

533
00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,280
whatever who won't fight against those problems like if I'm sitting here you know working with

534
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:05,240
you guys and and wanting to hear from you guys you know hey what are the things that are that

535
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:09,320
are obstacles for you like I've been reading the comments on that video extremely thoroughly

536
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:15,000
making sure that when we do our review on LTT that we are addressing these concerns and and

537
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:22,040
helping to make people broadly aware of them right like that's our job I think that you know

538
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:27,240
giving that kind of feedback to someone who is to a group right like we're a team over here

539
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:32,360
to a team that is that is trying to take your feedback that we can take right the feedback of

540
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,000
you know how do we cover this in a way that addresses the community's concerns right

541
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,960
giving feedback like you should just not cover it I think is really it's really self-destructive

542
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:48,440
in my opinion oh absolutely I mean this is the same thing as some members of the audience trying

543
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:54,920
to shout for every single conclusion of every single review from every single creator to be

544
00:56:54,920 --> 00:57:00,920
exactly identical it's like it's not even kitty kitty kitty kitty makes a good point you say that

545
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:05,720
it's unacceptable then then you accept it by buying more nintendo products you can't influence nintendo

546
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:10,520
other than with your wallet and you know what that's a really good point that's a super good point

547
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:19,080
and I acknowledge that straight up head on in my first leak summary video of the switch too I don't

548
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:28,200
like a lot of this stuff I really want to play nintendo games I'm human and what I want is

549
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:35,400
better long-term solutions because again I don't think nintendo is unique in bending customers over

550
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:41,080
and I don't think that anything is going to get any better without legislation but you're right

551
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,720
you're right to call that out John Deere is completely trashing farmers we all still buy food

552
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:53,560
I don't think that gaming is comparable to food but I also don't think that your example is as

553
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:59,480
ridiculous as it might seem on the surface because well sort of like I do think that happiness

554
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,760
is essential and I do think that a lot of people derive happiness from gaming I think the audience

555
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:10,840
that I'm talking to can probably relate to that pretty decently you know I like nintendo products

556
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:17,000
because of the demographic within my life that I get to play them with

557
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:23,080
yeah and that is not necessarily true for like almost any other type of gaming that I do we've

558
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:31,000
had discussions on me and nintendo going back like pretty much the history of wanshow where I've

559
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:37,160
talked about like I speak pretty big about most things but nintendo is just like unfortunately

560
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:44,680
this annoying company that I will just keep buying their stuff which sucks because there's just yeah

561
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,160
again there's that demographic in my life of people that I can play nintendo games with

562
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:54,520
that don't really want to play anything else and I'm not giving up on those people in my life

563
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,840
because they're important to me so that's a nice hat asks someone help me out here what's the

564
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:04,120
concern right now the concern is that nintendo's terms of service changed recently giving them

565
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,840
theoretically the right to brick your console remotely if you do something on it that they

566
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:16,840
don't like like alter it we've got some more discussion questions are you mad that there's

567
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:23,960
no OLED at launch it's just an upcharging idea for later so I can eventually drop the price

568
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,920
of this current one and release an OLED version at this price or higher that's my theory so

569
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:40,840
here's the thing we know that the OLED would cost more right because an OLED panel will cost more

570
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:50,120
people are already outraged at the price what would you have had them do would you have had them

571
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:57,480
release two consoles side by side one at 450 one at 500 or 550 with maybe more storage and an OLED

572
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:12,600
would have had nintendo do here people are saying bad take but I'm not I'm not giving you a take

573
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:21,240
I'm asking a question what would you have had them do it is a fact it is a simple fact that

574
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:27,960
an OLED panel costs more than an LCD panel at the same size especially if it's a brand new form

575
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:33,400
factor and and this is I'm not aware of any other device that is using an OLED that is this size and

576
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:38,040
aspect ratio so it would be they would have to do tooling for a new display

577
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,840
what would you what would you have them do given that people are already outraged about the price

578
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:51,560
rightfully so um t lewis says didn't valve do that for the steam deck wasn't their base model

579
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:57,160
IPS and a higher end model with more storage and was OLED yes later steam deck OLED didn't exist out

580
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:03,640
of the gate it came later not because valve was just trying to bulk people and and squeeze more

581
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,240
money out of them with an OLED upgrade later but because it took a little while for the technology

582
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:13,160
to catch up and for them to be able to integrate the OLED panel and they came at it with a I think

583
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:21,480
a pretty reasonable upcharge um and we weren't mad about that so I just want to know what's different

584
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:34,360
here what do you think Luke um I think people are just going to be mad regardless I think yeah

585
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:40,520
I think if they weren't if they weren't breaking people's switches that tried to mod them I think

586
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:44,920
people would be mad I think if it was more affordable and they were breaking people's

587
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:50,200
switches that modded them people would be mad um I think the only way that people wouldn't be mad

588
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:58,040
with this launch is if it was significantly cheaper and they weren't doing the uh brick your

589
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:03,960
console if you try to utilize hardware that you purchased in a way that you want which is like

590
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:08,440
obviously BS and the game cart thing is a big oh I forgot about the game cart thing that's also

591
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:15,160
the game cart thing is a big one and the price of the games um I don't want to spoil too much

592
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:20,280
but I will tell you guys the premise of the video uh one of the other videos we shot this week

593
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:26,440
was me giving my son his birthday present see he had his birthday a while back and he's not a

594
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:32,280
super materialistic kind of guy and so but one thing that I know he likes is he likes his Nintendo

595
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:38,760
and so I said okay son um happy birthday I got you a switch too and he's like oh where is it I'm

596
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,120
like well it's not out yet what do you what do you think I'm magic um I'll give it to you when it

597
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:50,120
comes out and so for a video concept slash just an interesting exercise because I was really curious

598
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:55,800
to get just you know an average gamer's perspective on it um I brought him into the studio and the

599
01:02:55,880 --> 01:03:01,000
intro of the video goes happy birthday son here's your switch too is what I would say

600
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:06,120
if I wasn't worried that you're making the greatest mistake of your young life you haven't even seen

601
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,800
what else is out there yet why would you just settle for the first thing actually I didn't do that

602
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,000
like why would you settle for the first thing you meet angle that's really funny I should have

603
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,360
done that for the intro anyway the point is I kind of pull the switch two away and I go

604
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:23,960
wait a second try you haven't tried anything else yet and so we got a whole roster of other

605
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:33,240
handheld gaming devices ally ally x uh legion go ianio 3 uh the MSI claw um I'm sure I'm missing

606
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:39,240
something but uh and then also we had the we had the switch too in there and basically I made

607
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:45,320
him a deal I said you can have your switch too for your birthday or you can try all these other

608
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:51,560
ones and if there's anyone that you like better you can have that instead and I'm not going to tell

609
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:59,240
you guys what the conclusion is but what I will say but what I will say is that because I kind of

610
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:04,600
trickled out the information about each thing oh yeah ps portal was one of them because he was like

611
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:11,240
stoked on the ps portal but then I was like okay there's a catch see that playstation over there

612
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:16,040
like that's what it's running off of and if you're too far away from your playstation it doesn't work

613
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:22,680
too good he's like oh okay because I was willing to offer a playstation five plus a portal because

614
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,760
realistically it's not even that far off the pricing if I like pick them up second hand or

615
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:33,160
whatever right um so anyway the the funny I wouldn't say the funniest moment because there's one

616
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:38,520
toward the end that's like really good but one of the funniest moments was when I kind of sprung

617
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:43,800
on him okay but here's the thing about the switch two while the pricing might actually be cheaper

618
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:49,720
than some of these like pc handhelds the games are really expensive like I'm talking over a hundred

619
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:55,400
dollars to be clear I'm talking Canadian dollars um which they are that they're over a hundred dollars

620
01:04:55,400 --> 01:05:00,200
for AAA games and yeah he goes he he responds he goes for each game

621
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:12,840
especially he's completely used to like steam pricing 100% dude he's he was completely

622
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:19,800
taken aback by it yeah wouldn't you mean for each game like he couldn't it's one of those things

623
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:29,480
that you can't act he just was mind blown by it like what yeah nintendo games really don't

624
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:39,160
fall in price much no they don't it's wild dude it's wild but no he's 100 right like that's a

625
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:44,680
major that's a major issue with this platform is like nintendo is trying to eat their cake and

626
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:48,840
have it too here where they've been up front that they're trying to make money on the consoles

627
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:56,280
which fair enough you know um but they're also charging so much for the games that I feel like

628
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,720
it'd be pretty nice if that game was subsidizing the price of the hardware a little bit you know

629
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,240
yeah it's kind of rough

630
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:16,120
all right um I feel like I've said everything I have to say about the OLED version okay our

631
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,960
last discussion topic here for the switch to is what are you most excited to play

632
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:29,880
uh I am very curious about my current world I have intentionally not looked into it very much

633
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:35,880
it's the only game I have currently I didn't buy anything else for it well technically you have

634
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:41,560
all your old games too yeah the upgrade packs are 15 canadian which um I don't love but I don't

635
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:51,320
hate I think it's somewhat reasonable yeah um I do hate by the way this is wild um your old

636
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:58,680
carts are still locked at 30 FPS so aside from not getting the HDR or any enhancements or whatever

637
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:05,240
they still they run at a solid 30 FPS but it still is frame rate locked at 30 FPS that's

638
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:09,320
ridiculous if I have more powerful hardware to just run it more FPS anyway garg sorry yeah

639
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:15,960
based computer guy take um yeah I think my current world I don't want to know too much

640
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:20,200
about it if you if you have if you like played it and you enjoyed it like that's cool but I don't

641
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:25,160
want to I want to I don't want to know way too much about it it sounds really weird to me um

642
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:35,400
and I'm interested to experience the weirdness see how it goes cool um yeah so anyway guys we're

643
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:43,560
going to have we're going to have lots of coverage of the switch to coming up we're going to have the review on LTT we're going to have that shopping video with my son that's going to be great and

644
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:49,800
hopefully it has a very long life and who knows maybe comes down in price at some point along

645
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:58,840
the way gets an OLED variant and here's a question I have for you actually yeah um would you have

646
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:07,880
bought a switch to for yourself if you weren't planning on playing games with like little man or

647
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:19,400
others if it was purely just for you well hold on by just for me am I what if it wasn't for me

648
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:25,720
and my kids what if it was for me and like entertaining because there is there's no better

649
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:32,760
machine for hooking up to the rec room tv when we host a party than a switch yeah and for that I mean

650
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:40,120
you know what a you know frame rate image quality you know enthusiast I am you know I I like to have

651
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:48,280
a really great gaming experience and so to me the new switch is Nintendo's asking for $450

652
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:54,280
for me for the first time in eight years assuming I didn't buy an OLED right which I did but like

653
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:59,560
they're not actually asking for our console worth of money from me that often and so yeah it would

654
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:04,200
just be part of my it'd be part of my setup for when I have friends over like play mario party or

655
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:09,320
whatever I okay and that and that is in my opinion the correct way to answer that question but I

656
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:14,840
want to move the goalpost and ask again what if it was just for you no entertaining just for you

657
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:23,160
that'd be tough I thought I was going to play tears of the kingdom I bought it and then I got like

658
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:28,040
15 minutes into it and I was like okay yeah I didn't buy the breath of the wild expansion

659
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,800
and I don't need this breath of the wild expansion either I know there's the building mechanics and

660
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:37,640
all that but it just felt it felt too similar to me what I loved about breath of the wild was that

661
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:47,560
it was so different and um you know and maybe maybe I'm making your same argument about you know

662
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:51,000
where I'm trying to say the switch choose exciting and you're saying it's iterative and I'm kind of

663
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:57,160
making the same argument because people are going to be like yeah I played tears of the kingdom that was so different there was so much that was different about it how can you how can you possibly

664
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:04,920
say it was iterative it's emotional it's gaming you know it's not objective it's not it's not

665
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,360
FPS and frame times it's uh it's gaming

666
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,080
I haven't gotten into a Mario Kart since Mario Kart DS

667
01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:25,000
I don't think that if it wasn't a launch a launch title for a console that I ultimately

668
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:32,040
decided to buy you know anyway I don't think I would have just gone out of my way to get into

669
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,520
Mario Kart again because Mario Kart DS it was a very different stage of my life I was taking

670
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:45,080
public transit a lot and um like I just had like downtime you know I don't even think yeah like DS

671
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:49,640
light would have been what I had so I didn't I don't even think out of smartphone yet like

672
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,440
that was kind of what I did when I had idle time so I don't think I would I would pick that up again

673
01:10:55,400 --> 01:11:00,680
I'm gonna totally dodge your question again I would buy it again but I would buy it for the

674
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:05,560
same reason that I bought this one to try it and then if I don't end up caring about it

675
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:12,760
put it in the lounge at smash champs so what I've decided is I'm either going to keep this

676
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:19,640
and put my switch OLED in the lounge at smash champs or I'm going to decide I just don't care

677
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:24,120
that much and I'm not going to use it and I'll borrow my sons if I really need it and I will put

678
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,600
this in smash champs and then either sell the switch OLED or hold on Twitter put it in the theater

679
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:36,520
something if it was just a game just handheld I probably wouldn't bother because I don't

680
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:44,360
I have so many games that look really appealing to me in my backlog that I haven't had a chance

681
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:50,360
to finish that I just don't see the need to buy hardware to finish them this is see this is the

682
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:54,680
answer I was looking for because I think because you want to talk about a game you finished no

683
01:11:55,400 --> 01:12:01,960
because ultimately I think we kind of bought it for similar reasons

684
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:10,520
right and it was not necessarily just us it was the like the social ecosystem that this

685
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:18,440
brand very unfortunately seems to be able to bring together sometimes like I know it wasn't

686
01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:22,760
they they advertised as if it was going to be and then I don't think it was quite as much but

687
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:31,160
like we parties were a thing oh yeah 100 switch parties I don't know by the way guys I have

688
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:37,080
spoiled nothing because I'm talking about the rationale for purchasing it what yeah what did

689
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:43,320
they think you were talking about well that I spoiled my son's choice oh no yeah because I made

690
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:48,760
the decision before you even came in to shoot the video yeah anyway sorry carry on I think that's

691
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:56,200
just people misunderstanding but um but yeah it's it's it's a thing it's a bringer together of people

692
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:04,200
yep and nobody else does local gaming the way that nintendo does with that said

693
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:09,880
there's a lot more on steam these days than there used to be like I'm I'm finally playing

694
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:15,880
unraveled to Yvonne and I are almost done and it's great it's fun it's it's not you know super

695
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:22,040
challenging like if you're if you're an old school gamer or whatever you know it's it's it's

696
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:30,200
kind it's very much it's like it takes two for me beautiful environments less fun gimmicks like it

697
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:35,560
takes two I had a lot of different gameplay mechanics that unraveled to doesn't really

698
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,960
but it's like beautiful environments and you just hang out and you just play a game and you just

699
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,040
enjoy each other's company and and chill on the couch you don't have to like think super hard a lot

700
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:50,920
of the time um and and that is getting better on the pc side but I don't think anything is quite

701
01:13:50,920 --> 01:14:00,440
Mario Party yeah even though Mario Party kind of sucks now it's still it's still works somehow

702
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,040
anyway is it's is uh I thought the latest one fixed the unskippable nonsense that I had with

703
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:10,920
the one that I bought I'm not actually sure I don't even know there's been one since then so yeah

704
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,160
there has that that one that you and I played together for a little bit or like tried to play

705
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:21,400
together but it was like unusable because of how impossible it was to skip anything that was

706
01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:30,360
and what killed me about it was how fixable it was oh yeah like you yeah okay well we're getting

707
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:38,600
uh it screamed at by Dan Besser to explain and do two merge messages how dare you

708
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,280
oh sorry but I have said no words you know over an hour

709
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:51,480
he did the extremely loud action of putting the little thing on the corner of the tv

710
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:59,000
I'm massively mischaracterizing his actions right now but it's funny to me so I think that's okay

711
01:14:59,960 --> 01:15:03,640
uh okay I respect that do you want to do you want to do them this time

712
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:08,120
sure I just got to get something related to the thing that I was doing today to people who

713
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:14,600
are working on the thing I was doing today sure uh merge messages are a thing you can get them by

714
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:20,920
going to LTT Store finding a product that you're interested in like oh my goodness tall pants whoa

715
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:27,880
what that's crazy adding those to cart and then going and looking at your cart and then in here

716
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:32,440
you can see the big bonus bin banner or sorry actually that's cool too you should do that as

717
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:35,960
well but that's not what I'm talking about the merge messages banner and click this checkbox

718
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:40,360
it says you want your message to appear on the stream and then you can uh decide if you want

719
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:45,000
to be anonymous or show your first and last name and then type some content like hi Dan

720
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:52,920
smiley face uh and then pick whatever style you want it to be in like swamp uh and then uh

721
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:59,240
when you check out it'll go to Dan and then Dan can either respond to you directly with the tippy

722
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:06,120
tappies at his on his desk and then you'll see it in the bottom of the screen over there uh or

723
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:14,280
he will curate it for um Linus and I and sometimes himself to respond to uh through the vocal cords

724
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:17,720
later on in the stream that's how merge messages work and now we're going to do two of them

725
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:23,560
where you're going to do one and then you're going to we're going to do one of them and then we're going to do some other stuff we're going to follow instructions for a change Luke we're

726
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:28,040
going to follow the bloody instructions that's what we're going to do no I don't like this

727
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:34,760
can we not do that yeah we should do it slightly wrong yeah let's read one and a half merge messages

728
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:41,480
and then move on hello lld I will protect breadasaurus at all costs Luke as a single developer

729
01:16:41,480 --> 01:16:45,880
working on an app how should I go about security been looking at Firebase authentication tips or

730
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:55,640
tricks don't we don't need to know your relationship status there are you can you can you can get

731
01:16:55,640 --> 01:17:00,440
someone else to roll your auth for you um I don't remember the names of them but there's

732
01:17:00,440 --> 01:17:06,840
some services that you can just get that'll do it it depends like um are you uh are you are you

733
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:14,680
pre revenue do you do you have money backing you um pre revenue I like that term I remember when I

734
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:19,240
was pre revenue pre revenue pre idea I think that would that would have been such a that would have

735
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:25,080
been such an like oh that would have been such a hack thing to call it you know when I was this is

736
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:30,120
a talking to you about it this is a startup thing oh I'm sure it is I just haven't heard it before

737
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,920
that's great are you pre revenue are you pre investment are you pre team are you pre idea

738
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:41,800
pre idea is my favorite one pre competency we have a fantastic team we poach them all from

739
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,640
you know they're all like ex-googlers ex-microsoft whatever we're currently

740
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:51,720
pre revenue pre idea but we're gathering funds uh you know it's great it's great but yeah you could

741
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:57,240
you could um get a subscribed off so just like pay somebody else to handle your auth for you

742
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:02,920
um I don't know how much it costs and I don't know example companies because we've never done

743
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:11,400
it but I know it's a thing um someone else should do it basically yeah maybe if your idea is really

744
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:15,320
good and you want to get it to market uh things move really fast these days you might not want to

745
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:19,240
make it yourself when we first started flow plane the amount of things we had to make ourselves

746
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:26,120
was crazy if we were remaking all the flow plane right now uh we would not have to do as much of

747
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:33,000
it ourselves I'll say that much um yeah anyways all right I've got another half a merge message

748
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:38,040
hey tips from tech building up for the new hoodie any possibilities for a cross body bag or strap

749
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:46,600
how about some announcements wait what did I just sorry hold on what did I just hear I was I was I

750
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:51,880
was following up that thing I'm done now we're breaking the rules we're breaking up uh we're

751
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,480
breaking up the merge messages so you'll get the second half after you've done the announcements

752
01:18:55,480 --> 01:19:00,280
nice uh sorry what did I hear about a cross body bag you're gonna do the announcements you'll get

753
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:05,640

756
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:29,240
technique for us with an embossed breadsaurus that is subtle I don't know that it's that subtle

757
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:35,480
but it's adorable making it easier to pair with other clothes and show off how cultured you are

758
01:19:35,480 --> 01:19:41,160
it also has a great tactile feel to it so it's like raised can you guys see the breadsaurus ah it's

759
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:46,760
so cute um like most of our other hoodies it has a secure pocket for your phone or earbuds to make

760
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:54,200
them less likely to fall out um and also has custom baby version of our chunk draw cord with

761
01:19:54,200 --> 01:20:03,880
LTT stamped metal tips um it is super comfy super soft on the inside and you look amazing you both

762
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:09,160
look amazing thank you don't lie to me in public dude they nailed the color on this one they did

763
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:17,640
such a good job the team just crushed this product yeah it's it's it's very it's very very comfortable

764
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:25,880
um yeah it's the baby versions of the whatever these are called again draw string tips um are nice

765
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:32,760
yeah yeah so uh we we made our own draw cords for I think the super soft and so we called them the

766
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:38,360
chunks um and because they're metal at the end and they're like a nice thick weave so these are like

767
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:43,000
that but they're baby ones they're small so they're still metal but they're they're not like ridiculously

768
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:47,720
huge yeah so they're baby chunks yeah it's very comfortable the embossed logo thing is really cool

769
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:58,760
get yours at LMG.GG slash breadsaurus yes um panda asks is this a permanent product or limited time

770
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,800
who knows with us ultimately and it's not because we're trying to be mean or anything

771
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:09,320
but a lot of the time the first order we're testing the waters if it doesn't sell it all guess what

772
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:15,000
it's limited edition if it sells really well guess what we're going to reorder it we're we're still

773
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:20,440
in the grand scheme of things a really small company um there are things about us that are

774
01:21:20,440 --> 01:21:26,360
kind of on the bigger side like we sell a lot of screwdrivers uh screwdriver has been an absolute

775
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:32,120
smash hit for us but on the clothing like the apparel side we're still a pretty small company

776
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:37,960
and we run up against challenges where minimum order quantities are just like not doable for us

777
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:43,720
very regularly that's a thing uh so we're going to do our best with it and if we can you know

778
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:51,800
bring in more of them we'd love to but if you really want one you know yeah but if you can if

779
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:56,520
you're in a position where you can afford it right now I wouldn't say don't buy it um someone asks

780
01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:01,400
why no restock of the firewall shirt because that was limited edition that was a print to order

781
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:06,840
where we only made as many as people ordered so that's that's how many we're selling of that it's

782
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,040
it was to celebrate our April Fool's joke it wouldn't make sense on the store forever

783
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,400
I would say this is um on the heavier side for hoodies would you agree with that Luke

784
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:22,520
versus like the super light this is a warm this is a warm hoodie yeah it's a warm one it's not to

785
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:30,200
be fair I am a warm boy and I'm sitting here and I'm fine it's not you're not gonna like absolutely

786
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:35,240
roast but it's yeah this isn't bad medium this would be nice in like the fall

787
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:43,240
or evening outside fire yeah this is a great summer fire side yeah this is really really nice

788
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:48,760
yeah all right what's next well do you want to do another one or do you want the rest of that

789
01:22:48,760 --> 01:23:01,880

790
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:09,720
you're doing that of order loop way to go loop well I think they're cheating because I don't

791
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:16,520
think they're supposed to get two announcements so maybe it's not out of order you're in charge

801
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:31,400
you're talking about that's true okay um it's just it's yeah it's because it's an individual mcm

805
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:59,560
sure hey tips from tech building up a new hoodie uh any possibilities for a cross body bag or

806
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:05,320
strapped for tech sack maybe would be useful for my future activities when the computer this is the

807
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:11,240
thing you read before I read half of it yeah no he wasn't asking for a strap yeah it was just

808
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:18,840
trapped for his tech sack I'm tethered here um so I'm not sure how far away I can get there we go

809
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:32,600
no I could unplug more like behind us what is he doing I don't know anymore man screaming okay

810
01:25:33,480 --> 01:25:39,800
I don't actually know if I'm supposed to be leaking this already already I think I might

811
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:43,000
have talked to nick about it I can kill the feet if I can't remember already I saw already

812
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:48,040
talked about leaking I can kill it if you need something what is it what's that well I don't uh

813
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:57,320
I want already to know what it is what is that it's a cross body bag oh cool he he

814
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,480
he oh it's like a little one

815
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,680
nice is this like tech sack so around

816
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:15,560
kind no I wouldn't say that I wouldn't say that compared to tech sack already already it's very

817
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:25,640
angry oh it's body bag oh he's typing he's typing all caps screaming oh okay should I not show it

818
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:32,680
anymore well why would you show it in the first place oh he thinks it's fine yeah he said I warned

819
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:39,560
you dog you did it's sad face I told you about stairs why are you people even talking about I

820
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:46,280
told you about stairs what does that even mean it's a sweet bro in hell he's not angry okay well

821
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:51,720
anyway um he's not angry he's just disappointed I told you here's how the switch two goes in

822
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:59,720
we have like a screen safe um flap here so it's got to be bigger than yeah so then there's um

823
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,440
yeah it's bigger than the tech sack I think there's another screen safe pocket

824
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:09,880
here so it's the other side of the same screen safe one uh see like that so you could put like

825
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:16,760
a phone in there or like a hand holding a really small tablet um and then over here you've got

826
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:21,480
these are tbd but a couple like elastic kind of thing so you could put a thing in there

827
01:27:21,480 --> 01:27:27,560
maybe a charger you know whatever I think this zipper pocket might go because you'd probably

828
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:33,640
just use the exterior one if you wanted to use that volume right um this will probably change to

829
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:38,920
like webbing over here so this is pretty early but the goal we were targeting switch two

830
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,200
don't don't like say things will probably change because then what if they don't

831
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:50,680
they will yeah yeah no because I had my meeting about this already okay uh this is this is pretty

832
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:55,240
far away like whether we're still these are there's this is still very much subject to change

833
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:59,960
so we were targeting switch two but we also wanted to be able to do steam deck

834
01:28:02,440 --> 01:28:09,080
so you can see it's uh it's a pretty tight fit but who knows because the subject to change

835
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:16,120
yeah it's it's the idea is like a gaming handheld cross body is what we're what we're kind of

836
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:25,960
targeting here um yeah it fits ally lix as well nice what other handhelds do I have with me I have

837
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:30,600
my ally but that's about that's about the same size if it fits the lix it'll fit the ally because

838
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,360
I can't really ask is it subject change but I was going to say what's the branding like on it

839
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:39,800
is it the square that's on the tech sack or is it something else no it's the it's the

840
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:45,240
little tiny hold on let me just see if I get my preview up here oh man I don't even look

841
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:50,280
it looks pretty like sleek and stealthy there you go oh yeah oh it's the little those are

842
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:55,080
black on black from the commuter yeah that's the only branding that we have on it right now

843
01:28:55,640 --> 01:29:01,400
that's pretty sick yeah dude every time I see a complaint about like our branding being too

844
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:08,040
garish I'm just like no no I actually cannot take you seriously as a as a as a human being

845
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:12,840
no one outside of our audience knows about the store because there's like no branding on anything

846
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:19,880
it's not too garish we've cost ourselves probably a lot of sales by having such subtle branding over

847
01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:26,760
the years yeah because we're trying to be cool man because I think it looks great yeah um Yeti

848
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:31,320
Wrangler asks any chance of an LTT camera bag in the future I gotta be honest with you guys a lot

849
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:39,240
of um wow it's a space I don't personally understand really well and it's one that we

850
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:45,960
definitely do have thoughts on as a team but I have a hard time imagining what the identity

851
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:51,400
of our camera bag would be that is substantially different from what others are doing really well

852
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:57,560
in the space we really try to find areas where we don't feel someone else is already doing an

853
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:02,120
outstanding job because if they are then we should just buy their product I'm not saying we'll never

854
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:07,080
make products that are just about sort of enriching the portfolio and broadening it and making sure

855
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:13,800
that you know we have a solution for every customer but it's not really our we all we have such

856
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,320
limited resources right now we really want to focus on the things where we can really do something

857
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:27,160
different yeah and then we got of course it will be big enough to fit the charger mind paradox

858
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:31,480
that's like that's our whole jam is making sure there's room to actually put chargers in our bags

859
01:30:31,480 --> 01:30:37,480
for the devices you're carrying is the official switch to charger less annoying than the switch

860
01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:45,640
one uh it's uh it's detachable so I consider that a plus both from like uh right to repair slash

861
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:52,360
like serviceability standpoint as well as just a like a usability standpoint I like being able to

862
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:57,000
take like oh okay it's uh it's powering my setup right now so I can't show it to you now but

863
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:05,160
I like being able to take my like sick coming soon lttstore.com you know chunky LTT long usbc

864
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:09,560
cable and use that for my switch if I'm you know sitting in bed in the hotel and the and the plug

865
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:15,160
is far away or whatever right like I like having that flexibility for sure we'll be able to hold

866
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:22,200
an iohio or virginia class submarine that's a good yes and oh good finally that's a promise as

867
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:26,520
as long as you 3d print it small enough as long as you 3d print it small enough then it'll hold it

868
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:33,000
just fine always the asterix got him that's how they get him and uh floor plane yeah

869
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:39,160
wait no we have to do another merge message we have to do the second half of that merge message

870
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:45,480
you just did that was that I read them both together because I'm in control wow

871
01:31:47,480 --> 01:31:53,720
fascinating for the first time what even is this WAN Show what is any WAN Show ever yeah they're all

872
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:59,080
like that's fair floor plane announcement smash champs is finally open we have an exclusive video

873
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:03,720
of what happened during the launch day everything from setup mini games not being able to cut the

874
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:10,120
ribbon itself uh to what oh that was that was cringe dude if you're okay no you got it you got

875
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,800
to bring this up bring this up on the screen show bring this up on the screen show if your

876
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:22,680
entire if your entire bloody job is to rent out novelty sized scissors okay those have one purpose

877
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:30,920
to cut ribbons at grand opening ceremonies whoa they're huge so if you're if you're novel yeah if

878
01:32:30,920 --> 01:32:35,720
your novelty scissors okay get find find the clip find the clip it's probably toward like the the

879
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:43,880
back half it'll be pretty obvious all right before that uh before that before that

880
01:32:46,440 --> 01:32:53,000
keep going oh keep going there we go okay this is this is a fiasco so it's me and the mayor of

881
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:57,960
Surrey and Yvonne okay we're trying to cut the we're trying to cut the ribbon look at this

882
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:07,320
pathetic pathetic i think it goes further back than that too oh it goes a lot further oh you're

883
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:13,000
just standing there no mind yeah yeah yeah don't worry about it just anyway we're we're very happy

884
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:18,600
to be working more closely with the city of Surrey and uh you know trying to get stuff done uh i feel

885
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:25,720
like we are very close to getting everything rounded out for for whale lands in the future

886
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:31,800
i i don't want to here i gotta find some wood to knock on because things can be challenging

887
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:36,920
but for everyone who was trashing on me when i was talking about the the the the fire code

888
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:43,000
nonsense i was right by the way um so thank you for not believing that i know anything about a

889
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:48,600
building project that i've been sorry what were you right involved in for years uh i was right that

890
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:55,720
the the issue with the egress uh distances was misinterpreted by whoever was looking at it

891
01:33:55,720 --> 01:34:02,520
and that none of it mattered because people were really upset that i was like questioning fire egress

892
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:07,560
standards i wasn't i was questioning improper interpretation of them i'm not just a completely

893
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:12,520
uneducated scrub coming into this is not my first rodeo that's how you worded it at the time yeah

894
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:19,400
what did i say exactly i don't remember what i said i said it was bs yeah it was bs and it was

895
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:24,840
stupid i don't know if you said i think the interpretation is bs though it doesn't matter

896
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:31,960
it was it was wrong all right people didn't ask you know who was opposing it they didn't ask what

897
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,320
the actual issues were they knew nothing about the project they just assumed that i didn't know

898
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,160
what i was talking about but a hundred percent did and i was a hundred percent right so that's

899
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:44,440
resolved now and we will be able to have proper security at our lens which was really important

900
01:34:44,440 --> 01:34:51,320
to me um and we will be able to have totally proper egress for in the event of an emergency

901
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:57,800
everything's fine so i'm really happy that that ultimately got resolved with the engineer yeah um

902
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:05,720
you just i don't have my button man i don't have my button don't think i don't see you

903
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:12,760
don't think i don't see you uh what do we do yeah dude it's been it's been such a nightmare i mean

904
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:20,360
we were talking about this after our trip to uh to Taipei just like i don't think that necessarily

905
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:24,680
places of business should just have alex showed me this hilarious picture of this restaurant

906
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:29,960
that just had a couple of like panel style breakers just like mounted to the wall and just like wires

907
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:34,760
going into them and then it's like going off somewhere like i don't think that that's necessarily

908
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:41,000
how i would want our electrical code to work here but i do think that we have reached a level of

909
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:47,160
control and a level of regulation that makes it ridiculous to try to get anything done there's

910
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:53,400
lots of examples of this yeah if approvals were fast and if there was like a a common sense

911
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:59,160
application uh or an application of common sense in um in dealing with these problems

912
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:04,680
and it was it was speedy like i i think it would be it would be fine but man we've got

913
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:09,480
we've got a lot to we've got a lot to figure out and i think there's got to be a middle ground

914
01:36:09,480 --> 01:36:14,600
somewhere i was talking to the mayor and her her new kind of slogan is siri's open for business

915
01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:18,840
and she's you know she's open to feedback about this stuff and i definitely have feedback about

916
01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:26,120
what we can do to make it easier for businesses to operate um like i've been one of my favorite

917
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:31,480
stories that i've been telling people lately is that because we don't have two sinks we are um

918
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:39,640
not allowed to even do so much as like microwave a hot pocket and hand it to you um and it's like

919
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:47,560
yo oh my god who cares um but i also don't want to yeah it's it's weird it's it's a it's a push

920
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:52,360
pull because like obviously that's ridiculous but then screwing with food you can't have any random

921
01:36:52,440 --> 01:36:57,960
yeah you can't have any random just serving food yeah right so it's like oh man but then

922
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:07,480
yeah we should be able to just like have a microwave i don't know it's a sports facility people could bring like it's it's almost like a potential cost savings for people i don't know

923
01:37:07,480 --> 01:37:12,840
like it's uh jerald says probably food prep sink versus dirty sink and you're 100 right

924
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:19,720
except i don't need a sink to make a hot pocket so like yeah i also don't need to wash any dishes

925
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,800
i can just hand it to you on a paper plate and you can throw it away like that's the that's the

926
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:32,520
whole thing is like there's yeah i know crystal says expecting common sense in regulations is an

927
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:40,360
exercise in futility i know i just i'm a i i like getting stuff done you know i like i like doing

928
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:45,960
things i like doing cool stuff and i like i like moving forward i like finding solutions and as

929
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,880
long as everybody is working in good faith to move forward and find solutions it's usually fine

930
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:56,680
i'm happy i'm happy you know because i get it there's sometimes you know stuff is challenging

931
01:37:56,680 --> 01:38:02,040
i get it but when we're not working forward in good faith when we're not trying to find solutions

932
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:05,320
that's when i just i kind of lose it like i i don't know how to deal with that

933
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,720
yeah i'm gonna steal a comment from binky in full plane chat but i i do agree with you we

934
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:14,840
should drop all regulation the children year in for the mines we should we should let them go back

935
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:19,640
finally someone said it start start getting that coal they you know they're tired they're

936
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:25,480
tired of their switch twos they're tired to bring it these boring new video games okay they've got

937
01:38:25,480 --> 01:38:30,840
20 dollars before now they've got like three or four dolls and it is clean coal so you know we're

938
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:37,400
good the day of course course you'd never have not clean coal the children year in for the clean

939
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:45,240
coal um should we talk about cool at the century all of that on a shirt

940
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:51,080
should we talk about AMD pulling in a video with the 90 60 x t

941
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:58,920
sure about something else yeah cool the 90 60 x t is out and AMD has copied NVIDIA's idea to

942
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:07,000
continue selling an eight Gigabyte version of the 60 class card it's got our dna for 20 48 cores

943
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:19,560
it has 128 tmu 16 gigs of GDDR 6 v RAM on 128 bit bus or uh eight gigs on 128 bit bus the 300

944
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:25,320
dollars for the eight Gigabyte version or it's 350 dollars for the 16 Gigabyte version the 16

945
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:30,920
Gigabyte mind that the difference in price is like a few bucks yeah which is around these days

946
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:41,160
the craziest point to me just makes a good one yeah like yeah oh man so much dude this is like a

947
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:48,200
huge part of why we even build some of the products that we do on LTT Store because the other options

948
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:55,080
honestly are like fine or they could have been fine if they just spent another like 73 cents

949
01:39:55,880 --> 01:40:01,480
like the the difference in cost between making the cheap crappy one and making the good one

950
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:09,480
is so so small sometimes it drives me bananas anyway sorry carry on yeah no big time though

951
01:40:09,480 --> 01:40:14,760
seriously um and like really like going through the work of having multiple skews and multiple

952
01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:20,280
marketing and everything for this like really really i don't know the margin is way better on

953
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:25,800
that eight gig crappy one yeah because the difference in cost is like a few bucks and the

954
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:30,840
difference in actually no that doesn't make any sense no the margin is way better on the other

955
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:35,880
one so what did they even bought i i get okay we're making it more accessible at a lower price

956
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:42,520
point to to gamers who can't afford 350 dollars and that's a justification but like oh my god you're

957
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:47,240
this is like well what's that the famous thing with the boots the rich men and the boots and the

958
01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:53,880
poor men boots rich poor something something boots boots theory boots theory yeah boots theory of

959
01:40:53,880 --> 01:41:01,880
socioeconomic unfairness they are selling poor people crappy boots that break down and i hate it

960
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:10,280
crappy boots that break down because you can't play games that would fill the frame sure okay

961
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:17,400
yeah yeah because they because it's not gonna last as long cards yeah okay sure yeah it's not

962
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:22,760
future proof whereas the the rich gamer can afford the more future proof card and they don't have to

963
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:29,960
upgrade as soon this is totally boots theory yeah yeah i feel like you're giving me a hard time

964
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:35,880
about this but i don't understand why this is Dan back me up here i think it's just like i think

965
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:42,200
yeah like if you really stretch it yes absolutely yeah yeah because you're only saving 50 dollars

966
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:48,040
that's the thing is you're not even saving that much for the amount of time less that you're

967
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:54,360
going to get out of it 50 dollars is quite a bit it's quite a bit 50 dollars okay yes but it's

968
01:41:54,360 --> 01:42:00,040
relative we've had this debate in before haven't we 50 50 dollars is one seventh of the price of

969
01:42:00,040 --> 01:42:04,280
this product and that's where you get into boots theory is because and that's where you get into

970
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:10,440
boots theory yeah because if the one that cost 50 dollars more can last for being a seventh more

971
01:42:10,440 --> 01:42:15,560
expensive or a sixth more expensive if it can last 30 percent or 40 percent longer then that's the

972
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:20,840
better value and that's why the person who can afford more today ultimately gets screwed over

973
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:26,600
less that's boots theory i think i think the reason why the boots theory thing starts to break down

974
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:36,200
for me um i get it what is he gonna say because he probably knows no i no i was gonna say i get

975
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:39,880
it the boots theory breaks down because that's the whole boots theory is that they break down

976
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:47,240
promoting i don't even want to like i genuinely don't want to explain anymore not because like

977
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:51,720
oh he cut me off or anything but just because that was actually like so good that i feel like we should

978
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:59,080
just move on that was actually great and i was just okay with it and we should move on this wins

979
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:07,720
wanshow again that was actually fantastic i have to win something today i think i'm losing something

980
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:13,320
else based on luke's secret topic but let me get through this one first you were also late as well

981
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:16,200
yeah see maybe you lost twice taking those l's

982
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:20,520
that's why they call me l sabastian

983
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:32,920
no bell for you that time actually because my name's Linus oh god despite reception and recent

984
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:39,160
praise for AMD when it comes to gamers or at least the vocal ones apparently none of the other ones

985
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:44,600
they have lackluster uh yeah exactly they have lackluster graphics card market share

986
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:51,160
according to the steam hardware survey the first discrete AMD GPU to appear is the rx 6600 one

987
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:59,160
spot below the rtx 4090 AMD claims that the rx 9070 x t's week one sales beat previous jens by

988
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:04,520
10x but a couple months later it's still not even on the steam hardware survey and video is also

989
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:10,600
claiming record gaming revenue but it only accounts for 8.5 percent of their total revenue

990
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:16,120
as data center sales have just completely taken off oh we don't need to see the graph again i've

991
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:23,240
seen the graph enough yeah and Intel's not even we're not even talking about their inclusion

992
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:29,400
sadly uh NVIDIA is also claiming record wait yeah you're wrong line uh discussion question will we

993
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:35,960
ever see reasonably priced gpus again here are the price categories from anantex whose idea was

994
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:42,280
this because this was brilliant uh from anantex 2008 GPU holiday buyers guide adjusting for inflation

995
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:50,200
130 then would be 194 now and 300 for the stunt in category which i'm going to share in a moment

996
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:58,040
would be 447 today and then check out this screenshot this is wild the people's performers

997
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:09,880
at 100 to 130 dollars which would be under 200 today let's ridiculous ridiculous 130 to 180

998
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:17,960
i remember trying to build a computer when i was probably like yep i don't know 14 or 15

999
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:23,880
and i remember having a conversation with a guy that i worked with because i had jobs from when

1000
01:45:23,880 --> 01:45:29,000
i was really young um about components and he was like all the important components

1001
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:35,640
and what i think he meant was like you know CPU GPU um probably drive at that point in time

1002
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:40,760
he was like spend about 100 bucks i still i'll never forget that conversation because he wasn't

1003
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:49,160
even that far off um and that's just impossible now but yeah it it caps out at well not really

1004
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:56,840
because it says plus but stuntin is 300 plus and it says single and multi GPU graphics solutions

1005
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:08,280
yep 2008 baby what a time to be alive it was a good time now you literally cannot get anything

1006
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:18,760
that is branded gaming so i'm talking rtx whatever um like you can get cards that are gt

1007
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:22,600
whatever but you're not going to get the x on it you're not going to get the like gaming class

1008
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:30,280
cards the way that they um categorize them for less than what would have been stuntin in 2008

1009
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:37,560
do you know what the to the east side references i would i think is east side just more expensive

1010
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:44,120
in uh new york probably i would assume i'm just guessing in new york interesting

1011
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:51,640
the jefferson's great guy yeah the upper east side is known for old money glamour with higher

1012
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:57,640
price tags apparently it's a reference to the jefferson's oh all right never mind then cool

1013
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:04,200
good chat cool but yeah crazy crazy screenshot really cool that uh whoever wrote this topic

1014
01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:11,160
included that i thought that was cool good idea clubs this youtube takes down jeff geerling

1015
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:17,400
self-hosted video self-hosting video more than a year after it's released and then i have a bit

1016
01:47:17,400 --> 01:47:22,600
of a spoiler that apparently it's back now which is good jeff geerling's but the way it came back

1017
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:27,960
i'm not stoked uncomfortable definitely yeah let's get to this jeff geerling's concerns about

1018
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:34,760
youtube in his 500th video special a couple months back uh were apparently uh prescient

1019
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:41,000
prescient prescient earlier this week his video about rolling his own apple tv alternative

1020
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:46,760
published in may of 2024 was taken down by youtube for promoting dangerous or harmful content

1021
01:47:47,320 --> 01:47:52,040
if you guys remember that's exactly the same justification that they provided for taking

1022
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:59,320
down our video where we showed how to add block on youtube yeah which is uh live on flow plane

1023
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:09,080
uh piracy in his in his video oh no i can hear Dan he's upset no he yelled correct no i'm i'm

1024
01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:15,560
literally with you 100 on that and we'll defend it to the death yeah you can do it we'll show you

1025
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:21,640
how to do it you can decide that it's fine yeah my god back in my day we thought pirates were cool

1026
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:27,880
what's wrong with this generation uh in the in the video jeff demonstrates using open source

1027
01:48:27,880 --> 01:48:35,720
software kodi and libra alec on a raspberry pi five for 4k playback of legally acquired

1028
01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:42,120
content stored on his local nas geerling uh appealed the community guideline strike on the

1029
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:48,040
grounds that a it's been up for more than a year without an issue b it's had more than 1.6 million

1030
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:53,480
views and see the video doesn't promote or even mention copyright circumvention tools or techniques

1031
01:48:53,480 --> 01:49:00,680
the first two are pretty weak yeah that last one pretty strong a big deal yeah that appeal was

1032
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:07,320
rejected in response jeff has posted about the situation on his blog and on x and potentially

1033
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:13,880
elsewhere and has uploaded the video to his flow plane account let's go um x itself and the internet

1034
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:19,240
archive which was a bit of a gamer move and he he donated some money to the internet archive

1035
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:23,560
alongside that this isn't in the notes but i'm pretty sure that happened just to support them

1036
01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:29,880
which i thought was extremely based team youtube has acknowledged jeff's comments on x

1037
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:36,840
such a terrible name on twitter whatever and a response from others on the platform

1038
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:41,320
to their response has been largely negative which is good

1039
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:47,560
uh geerling speculated that there may be some word on a new internal ban list that has triggered

1040
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:55,000
the takedown but notes that uh in quotes there's no transparency about the exact issue youtube

1041
01:49:55,000 --> 01:50:01,080
reinstated the video around at around 240 pacific time today jeff speculates that he made enough

1042
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:07,400
noise to trigger a human review process although i don't think that saved um our video um jeff has

1043
01:50:07,480 --> 01:50:12,920
received a community guideline strike before on a video about jelly fin that video had been on youtube

1044
01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:19,480
for over two years before being pulled for harmful dangerous content that video was also restored

1045
01:50:19,480 --> 01:50:23,480
on appeal i shouldn't have said also this one wasn't restored on appeal but that video was

1046
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:28,360
discussion question how can youtube create a more equitable content moderation system

1047
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:38,760
they can't hot take yeah i i don't think they can i don't think they can nobody's gonna nobody's

1048
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:44,680
gonna agree and i don't think it's really a question of equitable here i mean it's youtube's

1049
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:51,880
platform ultimately there's no legal basis that we can use to force them to have any content on

1050
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:57,560
their platform that at their own discretion they choose to not have there i mean i said very much

1051
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:03,480
the same thing back when they nuked our video even though i strongly disagree that my video was um

1052
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:11,160
dangerous or harmful to anything other than google's bottom line which again you know fair enough

1053
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:18,680
that's uh i understand why they don't like it um i mean honestly most of my objection was like you

1054
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:26,360
guys have my phone number why didn't you talk to me about this um versus just like ripping it down

1055
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:36,280
and then telling me like later common theme eh anyways um i mean it's like i was saying earlier

1056
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:41,080
look i'm all about finding solutions and working working together to move forward in good faith

1057
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:48,760
i am all about that um but you know that to me was not them doing that that to me was them just

1058
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:53,720
arbitrarily enforcing this because the thing is we have tons of content on our channel about piracy

1059
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:58,840
whether it's you know media backup or whether it's game emulation or whatever else things that

1060
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:05,640
i would classify as piracy and the first time they've ever cared we literally once our 90 day

1061
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:11,160
probationary period was up we uploaded a video on how to get Windows for free they didn't care about

1062
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:17,880
any of that they only cared when it impacted them so it's like whatever you guys this is not about

1063
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:25,480
policy to you this is just about youtube ads yeah and again fair enough that is they're right

1064
01:52:25,480 --> 01:52:31,240
that's they're right yeah doesn't mean i have to like it

1065
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:41,320
what should we do speaking about not liking it uh we have a topic in here that is titled float

1066
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:49,080
plane limits downloads how dare you what uh i'm gonna read the comments on this and then i'll talk

1067
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:54,360
about it afterwards a user posted on reddit this week asking Floatplane limits its downloads

1068
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:59,720
after they had a please wait five minutes pop up after downloading two shorter videos the answer

1069
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:06,520
yes Floatplane has had a download limit for actually a really long time there was some

1070
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:12,760
commenters being like what they changed this and no we've had a download limit for like a super

1071
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:18,440
long time um i elijah asked me about this and i i i said to him that i think it was like the last

1072
01:53:18,440 --> 01:53:23,400
five or so years but honestly i don't remember but it's been a long time this is not a reason to

1073
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:27,720
change do you want to talk through some of the technical reasons why we allow mass downloading

1074
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:32,120
but not in this way 100 well i'm gonna i'm gonna get through this first but yeah i want to talk

1075
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:39,080
about this more um uh when we have mentioned in the past uh that we are okay with mass downloading

1076
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:44,760
it has always been and you know we might not have vocally asterisk this at the time but

1077
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:49,160
what we've been talking about is through kind of like tools not you just sitting there and

1078
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:53,480
clicking download on every single video we are expecting people that do mass downloading on

1079
01:53:53,480 --> 01:54:00,920
the platform and trust me people do uh to use a tool there's a variety of community made public

1080
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:07,320
tools there's also some people that have gone through plex and done it that way um but yeah uh

1081
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:13,320
i will i will now talk about why uh we are not an enormous company flow planes actually a very

1082
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:18,360
small company and the impact of someone just going through and clicking download on a trillion

1083
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:24,440
videos all at the same time is extremely high compared to someone just sitting and watching a

1084
01:54:24,440 --> 01:54:30,520
video like the the difference is enormous not only because it's happening simultaneously but

1085
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:36,600
also because download rates versus just watching a video etc you could like if we opened it up you

1086
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:41,960
could effectively uh smash the platform now it's not that we don't want you to be able to download

1087
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:46,040
a bunch of videos just like please don't just sit there and click download a million times so again

1088
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:52,200
use something like like a plex and it doesn't have to be plex there i as far as my understanding goes

1089
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:58,440
there are these scripts on a variety of plex like tools and if you don't want any of that at all

1090
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:04,360
there are some again community members that have made um larger downloading scripts available

1091
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:08,440
for full plane and please feel free the point isn't that we don't want you downloading a bunch of

1092
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:14,600
videos the point is that we don't want you crushing our service because we are not we are we are

1093
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:20,040
genuinely not like that huge we can't just absorb you downloading all of our stuff well we could

1094
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:26,200
we can't absorb you and a whole bunch of other people doing it as well um maybe we can someday

1095
01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:32,760
but but not yet but yeah download to your heart's content um just use something that will help us

1096
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:37,640
help you in kind of trickle downloading it over time um you know your subscription's going to

1097
01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:42,840
last for at least a month if you set one of these things to our rate limit for at least a month

1098
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:47,960
you can download a lot of videos you can download a ton ask me how i know people do it all time

1099
01:55:48,840 --> 01:55:55,640
it's fine it's totally fine yeah yeah hands done it i didn't know that we could have that bypassed

1100
01:55:55,640 --> 01:56:03,160
for me so i was doing it with the rate limit yeah yeah so like i don't know it's a thing there's also

1101
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:09,000
there was a cut that thread man every once in a while you people drive me nuts uh that that

1102
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:13,320
thread there was somebody commenting about how like oh yeah well i wonder if i can find it

1103
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:18,440
let me search for my name because i think i can find it that way

1104
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:34,360
should i talk about the new there are a lot more data conscious in the last few months

1105
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:38,600
definitely not true uh they implemented a quality switcher on the Floatplane streams

1106
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:42,520
that we did a while ago and luke said something about that everyone always uses the highest

1107
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:47,880
instead of the one appropriate for their window size um i don't think we even have metrics on

1108
01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:51,880
that so i don't think i would have been able to say that but if i did say that i mean you might

1109
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,320
have said that at some point but certainly you don't always say it i can tell you that much for

1110
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:59,720
yeah but we actually we implemented the quality switcher because people were complaining that

1111
01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:07,480
the auto tool that we had was setting it too high for them we we did it for the opposite reason

1112
01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:12,200
we did it so that people could turn it down because they wanted to not because we wanted to do it for

1113
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:19,800
them um yeah i don't know that's definitely not to the uh were a lot more data conscious

1114
01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:24,280
the last few months definitely not not only is this download limit rule like super old

1115
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:32,200
but the the Floatplane uh quality switcher thing was because people were annoyed that it was too

1116
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:37,560
high so like no we're we're chilling this is this is not about limiting the data overall it's about

1117
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:44,440
limiting the momentary the spikes the spikes are the entire problem um yeah yeah like we we already

1118
01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:51,000
have a a like global time zone spike because we have more users in north america than elsewhere

1119
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:57,800
luckily uh north america is pretty cheap to serve to actually um the problematic zones are

1120
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:02,840
germany because your isp's just fight each other all the time and australia because

1121
01:58:02,840 --> 01:58:09,640
internet in australia is just a problem um got them don't forget about antarktica when we had

1122
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:14,840
that one person that was uh put that we fixed it for them camp there yeah yeah that's pretty cool

1123
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:24,120
heck yeah like the like one time that was awesome uh um speaking of things that are pretty cool new

1124
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:30,280
eu rules for smartphones and tablets smartphones and tablets that go on sale in the european union

1125
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:36,680
on or after july 20 of this year will be subject to new requirements devices must be designed to

1126
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:42,360
resist accidental drop scratches and dust and water ingress batteries must withstand at least

1127
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:47,800
800 charge discharge cycles while retaining 80 percent of their initial capacity producers must

1128
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:53,640
make critical spare parts available and provide repair information to professional repairers

1129
01:58:53,640 --> 01:59:01,320
for seven years after the end of sales for the product model that part is super cool and super

1130
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:07,880
important this should happen after the product is no longer on sale and the reason for that is that

1131
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:13,640
you can say hey we're going to do seven years of software for this um and that can be on day one

1132
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:18,600
and then you could have that product live for three years and then someone buying it at the three

1133
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:22,600
year mark is only getting four years of support so they're basically saying no no no no no no if

1134
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:26,760
you're going to say seven years of software support that means seven years for everyone who buys it

1135
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:31,960
based not for the first people who buy it the regulations clearly lay out parts and information

1136
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:37,480
delivery timelines what repair information must be provided and includes provisions to

1137
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:43,240
ensure equitable access to qualified repairers os upgrades must be provided for at least five years

1138
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:48,360
from the end of placement on the market of the last unit of a product model this is super cool

1139
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:53,880
why is the eu so based i don't understand it but they do it and i'm into it i like it keep going

1140
01:59:53,880 --> 01:59:58,200
also i want to jump back to the the full pentopic for a second i saw my god discussion question at

1141
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:02,760
the bottom is this what it's like when i'm responding to people's stupid comments and yeah

1142
02:00:02,760 --> 02:00:07,080
no i saw the discussion question at the bottom at this end using usually honestly the flow plane

1143
02:00:07,080 --> 02:00:13,880
users are like yeah cool i don't know it's fine it because again none of this is new anyways um

1144
02:00:13,880 --> 02:00:19,480
discussion question is with the obvious in verification of flow plane happening right now

1145
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:25,960
how much of a raise can our shareholders expect and the answer is immense amounts we are saving

1146
02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:32,680
so much off of the people downloading being now rate limited that we are increasing bonuses for

1147
02:00:32,680 --> 02:00:37,720
full plane executives by at least 40 percent um the next line is can you talk about what do you get

1148
02:00:37,720 --> 02:00:47,960
a Floatplane bonus i don't think so no cool nice uh all right 40 increase approved yeah that's always

1149
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:54,760
so easy um okay can you talk more about the challenges you have learned about data limits

1150
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:58,360
and bandwidth costs from developing flow plane even on simple things like quality control settings

1151
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:02,920
for live video uh the quality control settings for live video honestly we don't know a ton about

1152
02:01:02,920 --> 02:01:08,280
because we like didn't care and then people were annoyed because they wanted it they wanted to

1153
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:13,000
change it themselves so we made it so they can change it themselves and we didn't remeasure uh

1154
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:22,680
live has been a challenge maybe a loss leader maybe a neutral leader the whole time we like

1155
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:29,640
don't make money off of live um yeah it's it takes i bet i think we could argue that we do if we

1156
02:01:29,640 --> 02:01:35,320
factor in merge messages if we consider the ones directly attributed to WAN Show completely

1157
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:42,120
completely part of live we could probably make the argument i don't think they are but

1158
02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:48,280
merge messages have nothing to do with flow plane well they don't not i mean they don't have nothing

1159
02:01:48,280 --> 02:01:53,160
to do with flow plane flow plane is certainly a mech mechanism by which we like execute on

1160
02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:57,080
merge messages like it's it's a promotional mechanism for merge messages

1161
02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:05,240
how because some of those audiences that are some of those audience members that are paying

1162
02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:08,440
for merge messages are watching on flow plane like that's where they're that's where we're

1163
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:13,080
going to them they're they're bringing us that business so it's like a promotional mechanism

1164
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:17,640
okay like i said i look i told you it was i told you it was a stretch

1165
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:21,560
i'm just saying i'm just saying if people are watching on Floatplane and they're buying a

1166
02:02:21,560 --> 02:02:26,200
merge message we could attribute some of that revenue to the fact that we were delivering the

1167
02:02:26,200 --> 02:02:31,800
message to them live that's all that's all i'm saying okay nice um but yeah the amount of

1168
02:02:31,800 --> 02:02:38,760
development time that it's taken to support um like the chat and the chat tools and and the live

1169
02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:47,160
player itself because it has been very disproportionate to the value that it brings i'll

1170
02:02:47,160 --> 02:02:53,160
say all right fair enough but the the um talking about data limits and all that kind of stuff and

1171
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:59,640
someone to shrink it hooray let's go um it it has been interesting i do remember many a year back

1172
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:05,640
when we when we did originally decide to do the download thing it's because there was a script

1173
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:11,320
there was a script somebody had put up on github and they were sharing it on like reddit and the

1174
02:03:11,320 --> 02:03:17,080
forum and stuff like that that just zirged the heck out of download remember that and it was

1175
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:24,760
like actually severely impairing our ability to serve videos like it was a problem because a ton

1176
02:03:24,760 --> 02:03:30,280
of people were just hammering the download service all at the same time um and they were doing it

1177
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:34,680
through it was it was script kitty rife right like you didn't have to know what you were doing

1178
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:38,840
you could just download this thing off github and it would do it for you so we were getting

1179
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:44,920
crushed because again we're a relatively small company so we had to start implementing limits

1180
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:50,600
but if i remember correctly at that time we reached out and we're basically like yo we're not mad

1181
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:55,560
this is what we're setting our limits to if you could just adjust the script for people

1182
02:03:55,560 --> 02:04:01,080
so they can keep using it but it just doesn't crush us that would be awesome and if i remember

1183
02:04:01,160 --> 02:04:05,720
correctly they just yeah they just changed it so that it just sat right outside of our rate

1184
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:11,080
limiter and then it's like okay cool the people still have their tool the site doesn't go down

1185
02:04:11,080 --> 02:04:17,560
because of it sounds great um so it's been it's been interesting live data is really expensive

1186
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:24,680
wildly cheaper um yeah anyways we can move on get that good low latency yeah

1187
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:34,840
what do you want to talk about now Intel draws a line in the sand that's right a sand line

1188
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:41,560
CEO of Intel products michelle johnson holthouse announced at the bank of america's global tech

1189
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:47,240
conference that Intel will only be approving new projects if they can in at least 50 gross margin

1190
02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:51,320
adding on that this is something we probably should have done before

1191
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:55,560
while also clarifying that future operations including panther lake and nova lake

1192
02:04:55,560 --> 02:05:01,080
are currently expected to reach a 50 gross profit number the push comes from Intel's new

1193
02:05:01,080 --> 02:05:07,000
ceo lit butan who is reportedly laser focused on making this happen including potentially

1194
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:12,760
canceling or changing unprofitable deals with other companies holthouse predicts a tug of war

1195
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:23,080
with an Intel to get aligned on this mission i um i don't like it to innovate sometimes you

1196
02:05:23,080 --> 02:05:27,560
have to make low margin products and make big investments and i really need you guys to keep

1197
02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:34,600
doing dgpus so that's what i have to say about that not cool yeah mind you i don't need Intel

1198
02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:40,360
losing money either like that's also not constructive um but i think realistically at a time when

1199
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:46,600
your sales overall are suffering um and your brand reputation is that your products are at

1200
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:51,160
least on the consumer side not a good value right now at least on the CPU side i think

1201
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:58,360
battle mage is awesome um i think just like focusing on a margin target is just making

1202
02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:05,640
me wish gelsinger was back so please don't stop making arc gpus please please that's all i have

1203
02:06:05,640 --> 02:06:11,720
to say about that this smells a lot to me like the Intel that sat on its laurels for a decade and

1204
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:18,120
lost every lead it had um which like if you want to keep doing that right now uh i guess you can

1205
02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:23,160
just die so i don't think they're just going to die because they made major investments into

1206
02:06:23,160 --> 02:06:28,280
products that are turning out to actually be pretty sick like without spoiling anything the claw

1207
02:06:28,680 --> 02:06:36,440
got a long look at least um when we were looking at that when we were looking at all the handhelds

1208
02:06:36,440 --> 02:06:46,920
with my son uh is the claw a ai plus or whatever available i don't know if that's actually out yet

1209
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:52,520
hold on here it is best buy uh is this pre-order still i know people are buying it

1210
02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:59,880
yep it's available it's really expensive but it's it's good

1211
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:09,160
i wonder how the handheld market outside of the steam deck and switch is doing

1212
02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:15,720
i i gotta say i or i gotta think it's really small yeah to be honest with you and there's a

1213
02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:21,560
lot of players but like with that said dude remember when we did whale land how many people

1214
02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:27,000
had flippin yes steamed x but they were also like rog allies and stuff no there were a couple

1215
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:35,640
allies more than a couple are you and whale land yeah like the test the test no no no no no no

1216
02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:43,240
whale land at ltx oh yeah like they're the video was sponsored by ASUS so i was acutely aware of

1217
02:07:43,240 --> 02:07:47,320
like whether there was ASUS products that the ones we were showcasing not because i wasn't

1218
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:51,080
going to showcase anything else but because i figured i should at least throw them a bone here

1219
02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:56,520
and there um and it wasn't hard there were allies all over the place i was very surprised

1220
02:07:58,360 --> 02:07:58,920
interesting

1221
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:08,760
very interesting i mean i you know i don't want Intel the die i hope they do well it's just yeah

1222
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:16,120
i i hearing this it gets me concerned about stuff like their gpus and like

1223
02:08:16,200 --> 02:08:23,560
what an incredibly complicated market to try to get into with two generations

1224
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:32,280
yep like you gotta give it a while this is this this is a a market segment that leans a lot on

1225
02:08:32,280 --> 02:08:37,480
trust and experience and you really haven't been in the game that long and your last gen was like

1226
02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:42,600
not that purchasable this new gen is purchasable but has some asterisks on it like you're making

1227
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:48,120
fantastic progress uh and don't underestimate the funnel of getting people familiar with the

1228
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:53,000
product in their gaming rigs and they tinker around with a little bit and they maybe they

1229
02:08:53,000 --> 02:09:01,160
learn a little bit of ai on their Intel GPU and then they become uh the purchasers yeah exactly

1230
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:06,440
you had them for years on the CPU side it's worth fighting for it but it's just stuff like this

1231
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:12,600
just it makes me concerned that's all all right microsoft wants to save us from usbc confusion

1232
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:19,160
beginning with Windows 11 24 h2 pc makers will need to include a number of previously

1233
02:09:19,160 --> 02:09:24,040
optional features including dp alt mode which allows you to output DisplayPort over your

1234
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:30,520
USB-C port pc i e tunneling and Thunderbolt compatibility which are um basically the ability

1235
02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:37,480
to run pc i e lanes through your USB-C port and must use Windows built in usb driver stack in

1236
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:42,520
order to be compliant with the Windows hardware certification program w hcp the changes are

1237
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:48,120
meant to ensure that usb 1 2 and 3 peripherals will just work for data transfer charging and

1238
02:09:48,120 --> 02:09:54,840
display on any USB-C port on certified Windows 11 devices systems supporting usb 40 gigabit per

1239
02:09:54,840 --> 02:10:01,480
second must also be fully compatible with usb 4 and Thunderbolt 3 peripherals device makers can

1240
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:07,560
make use of microsoft's mutt usb test tool and Windows hardware lab kit to ensure their devices

1241
02:10:07,560 --> 02:10:14,600
comply these requirements however don't apply to desktop pcs at this time overall overall this is

1242
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:21,960
a w um and our discussion question is what does microsoft gain by doing this i get it and i think

1243
02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:27,560
i think they gain their computers not being super confusing apple computers have their confusion

1244
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:31,480
like oh this one can support this many displays and this one can support not as many displays

1245
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:36,360
like they definitely have their issues but generally speaking the hardware for the macbook

1246
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:42,200
is way less confusing to buy than the hardware for a Windows laptop and i think microsoft is

1247
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:49,400
really starting to look at the share that they've lost to apple over the years and go okay holy crap

1248
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:53,880
no no whether it's partnerships with qualcomm for ARM processors or

1249
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:59,320
whether it's you know finding ways to reduce the friction of the Windows pc buying experience

1250
02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:07,640
we have got to deal with this yeah i mean uh the Windows laptop ecosystem has always been

1251
02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:13,800
kind of a mess um yep with a lot of just kind of junk in it and i think this is a good move

1252
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:19,640
from microsoft to try to clean up their space and make them look more uh serious and professional

1253
02:11:19,640 --> 02:11:27,320
to be honest because usb has been kind of gross for a long time now like USB-C is

1254
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:34,040
just very annoying to deal with um and yeah i think i think it's a good move to be honest

1255
02:11:34,600 --> 02:11:40,840
all right our last topic before we get into after dark is the recall ai thumbnail yesterday

1256
02:11:40,840 --> 02:11:49,800
we use some here Dan no oh i thought he could hear you this whole time we never did sponsors

1257
02:11:50,840 --> 02:11:57,000
oh crap we should do that yeah the show was brought to you by squarespace imagine this

1258

there yeah the camera just went to your empty chair nice this one is sorry the show is also

1279
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:46,360
brought to you by AMD vance's AMD ultimate upgrade came out earlier this week if you haven't seen it

1280
02:13:46,360 --> 02:13:51,720
it is worth checking out and getting subbed to Floatplane for some juicy extras highlights of the

1281
02:13:51,720 --> 02:14:01,720
upgrade for me was definitely getting the broken 12 12 pin power connector out of his gaming rig

1282
02:14:02,280 --> 02:14:06,840
seriously it had a broken clip it wasn't the like latest one that has the biggest issues but like

1283
02:14:06,840 --> 02:14:15,080
still so we replaced that with a 90 70 xt that has working clips on its classic not for melting

1284
02:14:15,080 --> 02:14:20,280
power connectors just eight pin PCIe power connectors you'll love to see them my favorite

1285
02:14:20,280 --> 02:14:28,920
part was Linus barista tips oh dude i look okay i actually was pitching to sammy that we should

1286
02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:36,920
do this as a whole series on Floatplane person x does thing y that they've never done and like

1287
02:14:36,920 --> 02:14:42,200
try to find stuff that most people have done uh like whether like it like elijah learning to

1288
02:14:42,200 --> 02:14:47,640
ride a bike for instance i just have never made coffee before and as someone who doesn't drink

1289
02:14:47,640 --> 02:14:54,200
coffee i have no idea what you know you do to make coffee taste more better or more worse or

1290
02:14:54,200 --> 02:14:58,440
something i would request out of that i love the series idea something i would request out of that

1291
02:14:58,440 --> 02:15:03,560
series is to have someone that knows how to do it do it afterwards because i saw you make that

1292
02:15:03,560 --> 02:15:09,240
coffee and it seemed completely fine and then he was like oh it was like my uneducated young cousin

1293
02:15:09,240 --> 02:15:13,640
did it and i was like what would the chain what would the difference be what makes it i think you're

1294
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:18,200
supposed to i think you're supposed to wet the coffee grounds before pouring everything through

1295
02:15:18,200 --> 02:15:23,560
that's one thing um but like but that's let me catch anything else have someone that knows it

1296
02:15:23,560 --> 02:15:28,520
do it afterwards i don't know anyway what like in a french press i don't know what it was dude

1297
02:15:28,520 --> 02:15:34,760
you're asking me like i don't know it was a mocha who knows i don't know mocha pot that's advanced

1298
02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:39,000
no i'd know i that wasn't that i don't i don't know what it is neither of us have any idea what

1299
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:44,760
you're talking about i'm trying to come up with like fake terms and i just my brain my brain is

1300
02:15:44,760 --> 02:15:49,960
goop all of that was actual but i just want to say i know french press is real i've heard of that

1301
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:55,240
before might as well good news by the way for everyone tuning oh question for Linus and luke

1302
02:15:55,240 --> 02:16:00,040
who would you choose if you could give someone not from work an AMD upgrade

1303
02:16:00,520 --> 02:16:05,880
oh that's a good question i mean i i think doing your dad's would be pretty cool he's actually

1304
02:16:05,880 --> 02:16:11,560
working on a super cool right now he needs a system i feel like an AMD upgrade would go a long way

1305
02:16:11,560 --> 02:16:18,760
towards making that system done at some point yeah you kind of got there before me um i would be

1306
02:16:18,760 --> 02:16:22,760
saying the same because he needs he has he has his cases like almost finished but he needs all the

1307
02:16:22,760 --> 02:16:28,200
components he doesn't any components anyways that'll be my job that sounds like uh it sounds

1308
02:16:28,920 --> 02:16:35,400

hey i saw your secret topic final fantasy six i knew it kefka and it was amazing i took a bunch

1313
02:17:02,040 --> 02:17:05,880
of screenshots and i sent them to riley because i wanted him to put them in the dock but i didn't

1314
02:17:05,880 --> 02:17:12,200
want to put them in the dock early uh so that you didn't get uh informed i saw luke secret

1315
02:17:12,200 --> 02:17:16,600
secret topic i knew what it was also the enemy that you were complaining about the other days in

1316
02:17:16,600 --> 02:17:24,920
kefka's tower there's other points in the game where that happens uh yeah but i i knew that you

1317
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:29,080
got hit with bad breath in kefka's tower okay but there's other points in the game where bad breath

1318
02:17:29,080 --> 02:17:37,240
happens yes but i knew you were in kefka's tower ah this guy uh i took some some screeny

1319
02:17:37,240 --> 02:17:42,440
shoddies let me see if i can bring them up uh they're not in the secret topic right i can't

1320
02:17:42,440 --> 02:17:50,760
believe i lost this do you know how close i am no i am super close i was pretty sure i i was having

1321
02:17:51,560 --> 02:17:56,760
a conversation with a friend where they were like oh man you're sick again and i was like yeah and

1322
02:17:56,760 --> 02:18:03,960
it's horrible but also a blessing because i would not i would not have been done by today

1323
02:18:05,160 --> 02:18:11,880
to finish last night i would not have been done by today if uh if it wasn't for being sick if i had

1324
02:18:11,880 --> 02:18:18,440
pulled it all night or last night i could have finished last night too i didn't i am i am done

1325
02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:28,360
my color i need to shoot clear uh Dan can i send oh really so you're like one pass from done no uh

1326
02:18:28,360 --> 02:18:33,160
it's multiple coats of clear coat but like you can go at it pretty quick clear coat goes on real

1327
02:18:33,160 --> 02:18:38,440
fast compared to a lot of the stuff that i've been doing like i can probably finish it in one

1328
02:18:38,440 --> 02:18:44,600
long evening of of painting now all three of those yeah if you wouldn't mind

1329
02:18:45,400 --> 02:18:50,840
where are you gonna put oh at the top cool so i will share these one this is just a random thing

1330
02:18:50,840 --> 02:18:57,240
that i noticed um somewhere that i was in the game you're you have to go through all these

1331
02:18:57,240 --> 02:19:03,560
different sections collecting these little things to fight this guy um it's like fog of war except

1332
02:19:03,560 --> 02:19:09,720
the minimap fully works uh hello that i think is that i think that's broken i don't think there's

1333
02:19:09,720 --> 02:19:14,600
a minimap in the original game so that's uh it's one of those little enhanced edition things that

1334
02:19:14,600 --> 02:19:19,720
just like really you guys yeah i was wondering if this was a pixel remaster thing yeah i noticed

1335
02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:26,760
that and was just like hmm okay um and then minimap is hacking i so another thing that i was going

1336
02:19:26,760 --> 02:19:35,480
to say is that i didn't do everything that i wanted to do because i i let two things

1337
02:19:35,480 --> 02:19:46,520
kind of defeat me but i did go very completionist on this um i noticed with gau i went to his

1338
02:19:46,520 --> 02:19:54,120
his father's house without him and then later on i happened to go there with him

1339
02:19:54,120 --> 02:19:58,920
just not unplanned i thought i forgot what it was and i wanted to check what was there

1340
02:19:58,920 --> 02:20:05,000
and he was in my party and then the whole thing happened yeah and i was like oh no there's a

1341
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:09,480
ton of content hidden behind having the right person there at the right time so then i went

1342
02:20:09,480 --> 02:20:16,120
around everywhere with trying to bring different people and i tried to do it somewhat logically

1343
02:20:16,120 --> 02:20:20,920
so i didn't technically do every person everywhere but i would like okay is this person relevant to

1344
02:20:20,920 --> 02:20:27,240
this area um sure so i think this one with the minimap actually i had to take uh the painter girl

1345
02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:31,960
and what is his name stragg realm and strago or whatever his name is yep i had to take them to

1346
02:20:31,960 --> 02:20:39,640
i think it's thomasa or something but that mass made relevant sense like okay that was reasonable

1347
02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:44,520
so there was a few of them where and i i think i did you stay in all the ins with shadow

1348
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:51,240
oh no oh you get his whole backstory if you stay in every in with him in your party

1349
02:20:51,800 --> 02:20:57,400
i did some ins with him but i didn't do i didn't do all of them i got a lot of the content though

1350
02:20:57,400 --> 02:21:01,640
the two things that are you know and there's probably more than this but the two things that

1351
02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:06,840
i know of that i didn't end up being able to chase all the way down uh was the cursed shield and

1352
02:21:08,440 --> 02:21:13,800
lord help me i tried it says there's the one hint that i was able to find about the curse shield

1353
02:21:13,800 --> 02:21:18,200
at all i didn't find any outside of that was that it requires a long battle

1354
02:21:19,240 --> 02:21:26,120
so i tried like i even i i i got into a fight that i was able to sit in infinitely oh no no no no

1355
02:21:26,120 --> 02:21:34,760
no you have to fight 255 battles so after the way to the way to hack it as you go to cells is

1356
02:21:34,760 --> 02:21:40,440
starting island in the world of ruin and you just like you just put a weight on the a button

1357
02:21:41,160 --> 02:21:46,200
and then you just like um leave them walking back and forth on the island all night and

1358
02:21:46,200 --> 02:21:50,920
then it'll turn into the paladin shield yeah so i i've never actually done that because that's

1359
02:21:50,920 --> 02:21:56,280
lame that sounds really lame i i we had agreed i would follow no guides so i ended up googling it

1360
02:21:56,280 --> 02:22:02,760
after i won because i was so curious uh because again the topic says something about or the the

1361
02:22:02,760 --> 02:22:08,120
hint because my note is the hint something along the lines of a long battle or something like that

1362
02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:13,480
so i tried one that was like i think it was at least 10 15 minutes long i walked away from the

1363
02:22:13,480 --> 02:22:19,400
computer and then came back and then killed it and it still didn't uncurse itself so i gave up

1364
02:22:20,840 --> 02:22:24,200
and then the other one was was an esper and i'm confused because

1365
02:22:26,120 --> 02:22:30,520
it said i i got an achievement i got an achievement for unlocking all the espers

1366
02:22:30,520 --> 02:22:40,920
but there's a blank spot on my espers list uh no you probably got them all then i don't know what's up with that but either way okay

1367
02:22:40,920 --> 02:22:45,560
here is the state i was in when i went into the final battle

1368
02:22:48,360 --> 02:22:55,640
oh my goodness so every character except for edgar is blinded and silenced and almost everybody

1369
02:22:55,640 --> 02:23:04,360
is dead nice but uh so this was my second attempt because i i died the first time which i yeah i'm

1370
02:23:04,360 --> 02:23:10,040
not even shamed to admit um because i'm pretty stoked that i somehow scraped by on the and i

1371
02:23:10,040 --> 02:23:15,720
have my winning screenshot which i'll show you in a second and it's close uh but i somehow beat

1372
02:23:15,720 --> 02:23:22,520
it my second attempt um the first attempt i got i got raffle stout but i i your your characters

1373
02:23:22,520 --> 02:23:29,080
come in in a queue and this is all of my original four so i made it with the first four that i

1374
02:23:29,080 --> 02:23:38,040
attempted to go up with which was cool um but that's how the game ended absolutely insane

1375
02:23:39,080 --> 02:23:48,200
three characters at one hp that is that's unreal incredible and i i took these screenshots because

1376
02:23:48,280 --> 02:23:53,000
when i when i took this first one i was like you know i'm gonna he was talking at this point in

1377
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:56,280
time so it was fine it doesn't show any dialogue on the screen but he was talking at this point in

1378
02:23:56,280 --> 02:24:01,240
time so i i knew i was safe to take the screenshot but i was like i want a screenshot that i got

1379
02:24:01,240 --> 02:24:05,240
here and it was so close and i expected to attrition through a bunch of units and stuff

1380
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:11,560
but then i realized uh when i think it was go go died yeah i was like oh yeah somebody will

1381
02:24:11,560 --> 02:24:17,240
die and then i'll cycle them out right it didn't cycle go go and the second he died i was like oh

1382
02:24:17,320 --> 02:24:25,800
no um and this is after actually i think a fair amount of revives um and then i i started

1383
02:24:25,800 --> 02:24:31,640
realizing that i should use the the phoenix magic the re-raise or whatever yeah because

1384
02:24:32,360 --> 02:24:37,960
kefka brings you all down to one hp and then yeah i was trying to heal everybody up frantically

1385
02:24:37,960 --> 02:24:43,560
afterwards and i was like it's actually easier to just yeah bring them back up afterwards um

1386
02:24:44,360 --> 02:24:50,360
and oddly enough my the like two primary carries i had for most of the game ended up doing

1387
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:56,920
probably a minority of the damage and edgar just jumping repeatedly for so long is what ended

1388
02:24:56,920 --> 02:25:04,760
up killing them because the primary characters yeah yeah yeah i ended up doing dragoon for edgar

1389
02:25:04,760 --> 02:25:10,360
and i would cycle it on other people but edgar was the main one because he seemed to just do so

1390
02:25:10,440 --> 02:25:17,640
much damage yeah because he can use pikes yeah yeah and there's there's only a couple i think mog

1391
02:25:17,640 --> 02:25:24,920
and maybe one other that can use pikes um gogo i didn't like it first and then my my main character

1392
02:25:24,920 --> 02:25:31,560
i can't remember what her name is supposed to be uh tara uh tara yeah my main character she gets this

1393
02:25:32,200 --> 02:25:39,560
scroll thing that gives her dual cast and then uh it like happened by accident i didn't realize

1394
02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:46,760
gogo would gain the dual cast so i would cast ultima twice which ended up casting ultima four

1395
02:25:46,760 --> 02:25:53,800
times yep and then every fight was just like over yeah which was amazing but that's one of the fun

1396
02:25:53,800 --> 02:26:00,360
things about old games is that you can get these broken builds that just yeah just just crush the

1397
02:26:00,360 --> 02:26:08,120
game yeah because sellus um i at first i was building her as a caster but then i liked the idea that the

1398
02:26:09,080 --> 02:26:15,480
she was like more melee focused and then my tara was more magic focused um so she had the

1399
02:26:16,280 --> 02:26:23,080
what is it the um oh man i can't remember the name i think it's the genji glove which lets you do

1400
02:26:23,080 --> 02:26:29,720
the offering and the offering is it offering lets you hit four times yeah and then you pair those

1401
02:26:29,720 --> 02:26:34,760
two together and you hit like eight times or something it's crazy lock with the genji glove

1402
02:26:34,840 --> 02:26:42,040
and the offering is one of the like oh i never i liked mug it was fun stealing items but i never

1403
02:26:42,040 --> 02:26:46,840
really used lock much one thing that i realized afterwards was one of the times that i played

1404
02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:51,240
and then stopped playing for a long time right when i stopped playing is right when i unlocked gao

1405
02:26:52,520 --> 02:26:57,080
so i never really like figured him out because when i came back i forgot what i was supposed to do

1406
02:26:57,080 --> 02:27:02,760
so he was like worthless on my roster and then my googling afterwards was like okay apparently

1407
02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:08,040
he's amazing yeah he's one of those ones where you have to like really make a serious investment

1408
02:27:08,040 --> 02:27:12,440
in him and then he's like completely OP but i never really liked the random characters and the fact

1409
02:27:12,440 --> 02:27:16,680
that i couldn't select what he's going to do on his turn i've just never gotten into that play style

1410
02:27:16,680 --> 02:27:20,760
yeah i i was really excited to get the yeti and then i realized that he just like does his own

1411
02:27:20,760 --> 02:27:26,200
thing and i never really used him because of that um gogo i didn't even really like much i only

1412
02:27:26,200 --> 02:27:30,280
really started using him once i got that dual cast thing and i realized how overpowered it was for

1413
02:27:30,280 --> 02:27:36,600
him to be able to mimic it but i didn't really like his character until that moment and i actually

1414
02:27:36,600 --> 02:27:41,640
didn't really use him much i only used him here because i knew it was so overpowered right and

1415
02:27:41,640 --> 02:27:47,960
i just wanted the power to kill the boss but i didn't find it fun yeah no i i agree i like i've

1416
02:27:47,960 --> 02:27:54,680
always preferred to be able to actually control my characters one of the ones like this and i i

1417
02:27:54,680 --> 02:27:58,280
know one of the reasons why i liked him was because i actually really enjoyed the key inputs

1418
02:27:58,280 --> 02:28:02,280
but sabin was probably my favorite character of the run and a bunch of people

1419
02:28:03,800 --> 02:28:07,800
when i said this a long time ago when we talked about fun and fantasy a bunch of people told me

1420
02:28:07,800 --> 02:28:14,120
that he uh why didn't you heal before not that it matters but still what do you mean no no he had

1421
02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:18,600
already won he had just been slammed and he was just like there was one more hit than he he won

1422
02:28:19,240 --> 02:28:24,200
yeah this top screenshot you just went through like a huge gauntlet like yeah there's a reason

1423
02:28:24,280 --> 02:28:30,200
i got here beat up and then down here the game just ended yeah um but yeah people were like oh

1424
02:28:30,200 --> 02:28:36,440
sabin sucks sabin sucks sabin's awesome and sabin was awesome the whole way through and again i

1425
02:28:36,440 --> 02:28:40,520
don't know maybe i just didn't use because i didn't realize gao was really good or whatever so maybe

1426
02:28:40,520 --> 02:28:44,360
i didn't didn't realize that certain things are really strong but sabin was the first

1427
02:28:44,360 --> 02:28:50,360
character for me to get to capped damage right and then once you get whatever it's called razor

1428
02:28:50,360 --> 02:28:58,520
gale or whatever he i was i was having him hit for three to four k per target multi target

1429
02:28:58,520 --> 02:29:06,040
and hitting capped damage on single target way before anyone else sabin sabin is awesome

1430
02:29:06,040 --> 02:29:13,000
but he's like he's not cool to like basically is what it comes down to oh because he because he

1431
02:29:13,000 --> 02:29:18,360
doesn't cap out as high in the end game as some of the other guys that's all got it well it's just

1432
02:29:18,360 --> 02:29:23,080
like whatever whatever okay i don't care about that at all and i i enjoy like i know you're like a

1433
02:29:23,080 --> 02:29:29,640
backstory guy as well yeah his story is cool yeah yeah i don't know he was awesome i really i really

1434
02:29:29,640 --> 02:29:34,120
liked it i also really liked that it was kind of refreshing that you get to the end and you

1435
02:29:34,120 --> 02:29:43,240
have to kill kafka and kafka is just evil oh yeah he's like it's very clear he's my favorite

1436
02:29:43,320 --> 02:29:51,560
video game villain for sure he's just he's just such a jerk like the speech at the end

1437
02:29:51,560 --> 02:29:55,640
where he's like why are you even alive if you know what's going to end and like all this kind of

1438
02:29:55,640 --> 02:30:03,320
stuff is like yeah this guy sucks oh he's such he's such a crap head which is great because

1439
02:30:03,320 --> 02:30:08,280
then you fight him and then and then it's such a like it's a brutal fight he's constantly just

1440
02:30:08,280 --> 02:30:14,200
flips you to one hp he does that thing where um he blinds and silences you i'm pretty sure he did

1441
02:30:14,200 --> 02:30:19,000
that as well i swear and then he just hits you so hard that he'll just one shot one of your guys

1442
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:23,560
randomly so you're like trying to keep your team alive and he's just like that one's dead that one's

1443
02:30:23,560 --> 02:30:28,680
dead you have no idea how much hp he has because the game never tells you which is so frustrating

1444
02:30:28,680 --> 02:30:33,080
so it's like very likely that i had him like one hit from dead for a long time because i was just

1445
02:30:33,080 --> 02:30:37,080
trying to keep my team alive when i could have just one shot him because it was so tense the whole

1446
02:30:37,080 --> 02:30:43,000
way and then i beat it with three characters at three hp ah man it was uh it was great i'm glad

1447
02:30:43,000 --> 02:30:49,880
you enjoyed the game i'm really glad you enjoyed the game i um i have an update for you as well

1448
02:30:49,880 --> 02:30:59,720
i sent it to Dan oh i think i did oh did i not oh hold on did where the heck is my attachment

1449
02:30:59,720 --> 02:31:05,320
but i'll say this much i was never that into even the idea of final fantasy games and now i'm like

1450
02:31:06,280 --> 02:31:11,480
i'm worried that you gave me the one that i would like like the most uh so it's just downhill

1451
02:31:11,480 --> 02:31:16,680
from here but i am can't wait for you to try 10 i am more interested in other final fantasy games

1452
02:31:16,680 --> 02:31:24,760
now okay i will get you well hey there's the um there's the war of the lions um i'm definitely

1453
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:32,600
going to check that out it's a very different game no it's probably a better game oh cool it's

1454
02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:38,040
really good yeah i have i haven't played any of the i haven't actually played the war of the

1455
02:31:38,040 --> 02:31:45,480
lions version i've only ever played the psx like final fantasy tactics version um okay Dan go ahead

1456
02:31:45,480 --> 02:31:50,280
and share that sorry the file share i didn't go through before oh uh could this go in the dock oh

1457
02:31:50,280 --> 02:31:59,000
no it's just a picture yeah sure yeah i hated the final fantasy combat style before i started

1458
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:06,280
playing and now it's like totally fine ready to see this look uh yeah i'm ready oh they're

1459
02:32:06,280 --> 02:32:15,400
starting to look good though circles wheels done oh that's awesome actually it helps having the

1460
02:32:16,680 --> 02:32:24,520
the middle bit be black yeah that was a lot of work because painting a candy coating evenly

1461
02:32:25,240 --> 02:32:34,040
um like this is really hard we had to find a way to spin the wheel while holding the gun stationary

1462
02:32:34,040 --> 02:32:40,200
in order to get it like even and we had to find exactly the right angles to kind of hit it from

1463
02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:47,640
to get good coverage uh we masked it up uh the other night and um and did the black it looks

1464
02:32:48,520 --> 02:32:55,240
incredible in person i'm actually pretty excited for i'm pretty excited for when it's done someone

1465
02:32:55,240 --> 02:33:00,760
asked uh why paint where the tires go it's not it's like not done well like that'll be covered uh

1466
02:33:00,760 --> 02:33:06,600
don't worry about that yeah yeah yeah because i'm i'm spraying right so it's not like with a brush

1467
02:33:06,600 --> 02:33:12,760
yeah um the kid across the street asks couldn't you dip it i can't um i don't know how i would

1468
02:33:13,320 --> 02:33:18,760
dip a two tone like this i guess you could dip it like if you painted it i guess you're

1469
02:33:18,760 --> 02:33:23,640
asking if i painted it black and then like i dipped one side and then dipped the other side

1470
02:33:23,640 --> 02:33:29,720
that's not so um but the but the pink is not a solid color it's a candy coat it's translucent

1471
02:33:29,720 --> 02:33:39,080
so it had to be painted over white so this has this was blasted primered white multiple coats

1472
02:33:39,080 --> 02:33:48,040
of primer multiple coats of white then two coats of pink then one coat of pearl then masked then

1473
02:33:48,040 --> 02:33:55,240
two coats of black on those parts then it will get clear coated for the whole thing so it's uh

1474
02:33:55,240 --> 02:34:02,520
it's a it's a super multi-part process and i got as far as not having done the black yet having

1475
02:34:02,520 --> 02:34:07,240
done two coats pink two coats candy i think i did that time and it was a disaster i had to

1476
02:34:07,240 --> 02:34:13,880
completely redo it so both of these have actually been fully stripped twice and redone it's been an

1477
02:34:13,880 --> 02:34:25,880
absolute nightmare uh this project i am i am so so done um anyway i think like one more big session

1478
02:34:25,880 --> 02:34:32,760
also i can clear coat just this and the frame and they can start assembly and then um i can do the

1479
02:34:32,760 --> 02:34:39,160
rest at my leisure especially now that i lost the challenge no but uh it's pretty good because it's

1480
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:44,520
kind of motivated me to keep working on it so and now i'm close enough that i can just get over the

1481
02:34:44,520 --> 02:34:53,960
line i'm hoping to ride this summer i um i'm happy with how i approached the game i think i got a

1482
02:34:53,960 --> 02:34:59,560
lot more out of it playing it the way that i did like no guide and like oh definitely experimenting

1483
02:34:59,560 --> 02:35:04,760
with things and trying things and stuff but brother that was a long game it is a long game

1484
02:35:06,840 --> 02:35:12,520
like i i don't know if i've played almost any game that took me that long to actually get through

1485
02:35:12,520 --> 02:35:20,680
the story like whoa yeah and the world of ruin maybe morrowind the world of ruin is really not as tight

1486
02:35:20,680 --> 02:35:25,560
as the world of balance so i think i told you that the game was supposed to end at the world of balance

1487
02:35:25,560 --> 02:35:29,800
that's supposed to be the final fight and then we have room on the cart let's just keep making the

1488
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:39,080
game yeah yeah it uh there's and you know there's definitely like oh uh that tower there was a lot

1489
02:35:39,080 --> 02:35:45,640
of unnecessary rooms and stuff oh yeah there was also like there's one room in particular i can just

1490
02:35:45,640 --> 02:35:50,760
talk about fun fancy forever uh there's one room in particular where i just got roasted i i don't

1491
02:35:50,760 --> 02:35:56,680
remember um i was quicksaving fairly often and it was like one small room and it's the only place in

1492
02:35:56,680 --> 02:36:02,120
the entire thing that i ran into this one mob oh dude quicksaving such a hack there was no quicksave

1493
02:36:02,120 --> 02:36:07,880
when i played that game but sure okay really i did okay so i did only save the save points i did

1494
02:36:07,880 --> 02:36:14,040
noticed interesting okay oh it was brutal i misinterpreted that then because i noticed the

1495
02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:20,200
save points so i i i assumed that they're oh interesting dang yeah that would have been

1496
02:36:20,200 --> 02:36:27,640
a lot harder in mostly just an annoying way for sure oh a hundred percent the way i thought it

1497
02:36:27,640 --> 02:36:32,120
worked i never really paid attention the way i thought it worked was that you had to because

1498
02:36:32,120 --> 02:36:37,880
there was times where it wouldn't let you quicksave but you didn't always have to normally save at a

1499
02:36:37,880 --> 02:36:47,160
save point yeah so i thought quicksave um like wouldn't stay if you close the game

1500
02:36:48,280 --> 02:36:53,640
oh no no i thought that i thought the save points were still valuable because of that but i guess

1501
02:36:53,640 --> 02:36:57,960
they just literally were meaningless because i think it's more that you can you can use them for

1502
02:36:57,960 --> 02:37:07,480
sleeping bags intense i didn't know that really oh i almost never used sleeping bags intense

1503
02:37:08,840 --> 02:37:13,720
oh yeah tents are good oh i will say another another thing that i want to praise it for

1504
02:37:13,720 --> 02:37:20,440
is that the like how it teaches you how to be self-sufficient within the game is really interesting

1505
02:37:21,080 --> 02:37:25,480
i i'm assuming everyone goes through this where like at the start you're dealing with ins and

1506
02:37:25,480 --> 02:37:30,040
sleeping bags intense and potions and the economy is rough you don't have all that much money and

1507
02:37:30,040 --> 02:37:34,600
you're spending it all on potions it's like ah this this is sucks and then you start getting

1508
02:37:34,600 --> 02:37:38,760
healing spells you know like okay i can heal but then i run out of mana and that's an issue

1509
02:37:38,760 --> 02:37:47,720
and then you get um whatever it's called um or or osmos uh yeah and then you can yeah sorry

1510
02:37:47,720 --> 02:37:53,240
osmos not rasp rasp damages their mp yeah so you can you can now pull mana from monsters now you

1511
02:37:53,240 --> 02:37:56,600
now you can pull mana and you can heal your team so if you find a fight that's not that

1512
02:37:56,600 --> 02:38:01,320
hard you can like bring everything back up and like all it's it's very cool it's really well

1513
02:38:01,320 --> 02:38:08,840
thought out game anyways uh i think it's time for after dark i think so

1514
02:38:11,320 --> 02:38:14,760
yeah i would recommend you play it if you haven't there's probably not that many people that

1515
02:38:14,760 --> 02:38:19,640
haven't but i would recommend you play it if you haven't and um i don't know if it's better

1516
02:38:19,640 --> 02:38:26,440
following with the guide but i really enjoyed the search um i thought that part was actually

1517
02:38:26,440 --> 02:38:33,240
very fun and very rewarding i think one of the problems with with enjoying the search

1518
02:38:33,240 --> 02:38:39,240
is you end up searching in a bunch of games that have nothing um and a lot of my favorite games

1519
02:38:39,240 --> 02:38:44,120
actually have stuff like morrowind had stuff if you looked things were there and i found in this

1520
02:38:44,120 --> 02:38:49,800
game if i looked stuff was there and very rewardingly there sometimes and i swear a lot of these

1521
02:38:49,800 --> 02:38:54,680
were not required sometimes i would go find something and it would take me like a day

1522
02:38:56,680 --> 02:39:05,320
there's no way this thing was like necessary but it was awesome uh like unlocking um i don't even

1523
02:39:05,320 --> 02:39:09,480
remember but unlocking like certain people's abilities or getting little things that like

1524
02:39:09,480 --> 02:39:13,640
definitely weren't necessary but you know made the game a little easier whatever added flavor

1525
02:39:13,640 --> 02:39:20,280
added character story um there was so much to it that like i had to dig pretty hard for

1526
02:39:21,320 --> 02:39:24,920
which yeah there's interesting ways that they ARM you to do that because i used the

1527
02:39:24,920 --> 02:39:29,560
bestiary to find parts of the game that i had never found was the bestiary in the original

1528
02:39:29,560 --> 02:39:36,520
version no okay well all right either way um because i would look and because if you highlighted

1529
02:39:36,520 --> 02:39:40,440
a question mark question mark thing on the bestiary it would show you where it was but it

1530
02:39:40,440 --> 02:39:45,560
wouldn't show you what it was oh that's interesting so i could look at an area and be like i haven't

1531
02:39:45,560 --> 02:39:52,360
been here how do i get there um there there was a few different ways there was the dots on the map

1532
02:39:52,360 --> 02:39:56,440
not going big if you hadn't actually found the thing so realizing they're like okay something's

1533
02:39:56,440 --> 02:40:02,440
there and i can't get there yet and then also that's a new creature comfort as well so i would not

1534
02:40:02,440 --> 02:40:06,280
have found anywhere near as much stuff if i didn't have these tools and honestly that's a good thing

1535
02:40:06,280 --> 02:40:10,920
though because it was easy to miss a lot of the content in the game in the old version so there

1536
02:40:10,920 --> 02:40:16,680
are certain things that are really good yeah um but yeah i thought the bestiary was was awesome

1537
02:40:19,640 --> 02:40:24,520
okay Dan want to hit us with after dark yeah sure i got some rich messages for you here

1538
02:40:24,520 --> 02:40:30,040
sure hi wan.dll Linus noticed almost all the t-shirt designs were taken off the store was

1539
02:40:30,040 --> 02:40:35,160
waiting for a bunch to restock what's the reason for the purge love the designs and then i'm excited

1540
02:40:35,160 --> 02:40:41,320
to see more soon i think we're kind of refreshing everything it's been kind of a nightmare between

1541
02:40:42,440 --> 02:40:50,440
just supplier challenges and tariffs and um implementing like new colors and our tall blanks

1542
02:40:50,440 --> 02:40:57,560
and also just the the relatively low volume of our printing partner um which is not a

1543
02:40:57,560 --> 02:41:04,840
criticism it just is a thing that is um so doing the same kind of volume of t-shirt designs that

1544
02:41:04,840 --> 02:41:08,920
we used to do has been a real challenge it's something that we do have plans to fix but it's

1545
02:41:08,920 --> 02:41:14,040
just it's like anything it's going to take time when do you guys think we will ever see a time in

1546
02:41:14,040 --> 02:41:19,240
gaming where we will try and make sure it works properly versus just dropping it and hoping to

1547
02:41:19,240 --> 02:41:24,120
fix it later i really hate the state of most ah ah games that's triple a and quadruple a

1548
02:41:27,640 --> 02:41:32,680
i don't see that getting better anytime soon i mean now that games as a service is the new meta

1549
02:41:33,240 --> 02:41:43,080
i i just don't i don't i don't foresee that being a thing that's going to happen i think that we

1550
02:41:43,080 --> 02:41:50,680
just have to kind of um wait invest in games when they are in a state that we believe is

1551
02:41:50,680 --> 02:41:56,120
finished enough for us to enjoy and hope that the devs of the games that we love are going to

1552
02:41:56,120 --> 02:42:00,200
you know continue to invest the time to get them to a working state in fairness to devs

1553
02:42:00,920 --> 02:42:07,800
the hardware variants that exist today or variations that exist today are much much

1554
02:42:07,800 --> 02:42:14,520
broader than they used to be optimizing a game is harder than ever and that shouldn't just be a

1555
02:42:14,520 --> 02:42:20,760
crutch that shouldn't just be an excuse for poor quality work or for you know a publisher or

1556
02:42:20,760 --> 02:42:25,720
management forcing something out when you know everyone knows it's not ready but it is also a

1557
02:42:25,720 --> 02:42:35,480
reality ltd store underwear is my favorite is it coming back love from australia yes oh thank

1563
02:43:05,720 --> 02:43:12,120
who are your mentors and what did you learn from them oh i mean i've had a lot of mentors i guess

1564
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:19,720
um you know one of them i hired as our ceo taryn taught me a lot um my other boss at ncix taught

1565
02:43:19,720 --> 02:43:30,280
me a lot jack um you know externally i i have been really impressed by people who came before me

1566
02:43:30,280 --> 02:43:35,320
in tech media like chris perillo i just thought his professionalism that time that we had him on the

1567
02:43:35,320 --> 02:43:44,440
WAN Show was big time unreal yeah very inspiring i i don't know if i described that as mentorship

1568
02:43:44,440 --> 02:43:47,560
because i don't like know him super well like we've hung out a few times but other than that

1569
02:43:47,640 --> 02:43:53,800
but inspiring but definitely inspiring yeah um was this question specifically for you

1570
02:43:56,360 --> 02:44:02,200
i don't think so um i've used i've used wendell

1571
02:44:03,960 --> 02:44:09,560
just i think a fair way of saying it yeah he definitely would qualify as a mentor for you

1572
02:44:09,560 --> 02:44:16,280
hundred percent yeah wendell's been huge for me actually because um when when i started doing

1573
02:44:16,280 --> 02:44:19,880
float playing stuff i didn't i didn't know a lot of people that were like managing

1574
02:44:20,840 --> 02:44:25,640
software teams or anything um or building software not even not even managing software

1575
02:44:25,640 --> 02:44:33,480
teams i knew very few people in that industry at all and he was extremely helpful extremely

1576
02:44:33,480 --> 02:44:38,680
understanding generous with his time and extremely generous with his time like and still is i still

1577
02:44:38,680 --> 02:44:44,840
go to him for stuff now um but especially back there it was like actually a genius so oh just

1578
02:44:44,840 --> 02:44:52,520
dude yeah he's fantastic i very much enjoy just hanging out with him and then at this point it's

1579
02:44:52,520 --> 02:44:56,520
mostly hanging out with him and then there are tidbits that he'll like say something and i'll

1580
02:44:56,520 --> 02:45:02,280
be like oh okay i'm gonna note that down it's less like direct question and answer and it's more like

1581
02:45:02,360 --> 02:45:10,440
osmosis just being near him for a while is like uh helpful i don't know about mentorship but i've

1582
02:45:10,440 --> 02:45:16,600
talked before about taking a lot of inspiration from um Noctua's leadership and how they approach

1583
02:45:16,600 --> 02:45:22,120
product development um same with framework i i love that they're staying true to their mission

1584
02:45:22,120 --> 02:45:27,800
even though you know they've taken vc money and it can be really tempting to just do whatever it

1585
02:45:27,800 --> 02:45:31,480
takes to make a buck in order to generate a return for your investors

1586
02:45:34,200 --> 02:45:41,080
yeah investment disclosure hit me Dan hello land duke and dynas what is your biggest distraction

1587
02:45:41,080 --> 02:45:45,160
during the workday getting in the way of getting things done also more bretosaurus merge please

1588
02:45:48,440 --> 02:45:55,560
interruptions i mean many notifications because of yeah too many incoming communications

1589
02:45:55,640 --> 02:46:01,160
on too many various communication platforms yeah i think that's a really good way of putting

1590
02:46:01,160 --> 02:46:06,680
it i second that motion ding hit me Dan it's a huge issue ding but it's your phone this time

1591
02:46:08,360 --> 02:46:14,360
what watch is Linus wearing i noticed it during this switch to unboxing i think it's a

1592
02:46:15,960 --> 02:46:22,600
i think it's the two r from one plus so basically doesn't even know it's fine i guess uh i don't know

1593
02:46:22,600 --> 02:46:28,200
whatever the new thing from rolex is i don't even care at this point oh my god i just have a guy buy

1594
02:46:31,080 --> 02:46:35,880
people like who watches a lot takes my maybach down and goes picks up the new release

1596
02:46:43,400 --> 02:46:49,240
what a maybach is don't even give me that i did yeah i found out like a week ago me too doesn't

1597
02:46:49,240 --> 02:46:57,320

1598
02:46:57,320 --> 02:47:03,000
navigate to the find out what model it is um not a very glowing but it's not on my wrist and it

1599
02:47:03,000 --> 02:47:12,600
keeps locking sorry one sec uh yeah i think it's the two r honestly i just use it as pretty much

1600
02:47:12,600 --> 02:47:19,960
just to watch these days i've just found that it's so tedious to interact with my wrist compared to

1601
02:47:19,960 --> 02:47:29,560
just pulling my phone out that i can't get that into it it's all i got that's all you got okay all

1602
02:47:29,560 --> 02:47:34,680
right well maybe i actually get to eat a meal for the first time today i wouldn't even bother at

1603
02:47:34,680 --> 02:47:41,320
this point yeah i think yeah it's the two r it's the two r um no you should eat oh hey i'm getting

1604
02:47:41,320 --> 02:47:46,520
braces oh nice okay and that's the end of the show we'll see you again next week same bedtime

1605
02:47:46,520 --> 02:47:55,000
are you getting a visa line or the metal ones um i am okay those were options cool options good

1606
02:47:55,000 --> 02:48:03,480
options solid options third option um but i couldn't resist the 3d printed option oh so there's this

1607
02:48:03,480 --> 02:48:09,880
like new one where they 3d print the brackets specifically for your teeth um so that they

1608
02:48:09,880 --> 02:48:15,800
don't have to like remove them and like replace them i just wanted to i just wanted to try them

1609
02:48:16,840 --> 02:48:20,120
huh that sounds cool let me know what that is i want to try that too yeah i've never even heard

1610
02:48:20,120 --> 02:48:25,720
of that yeah they look like the train they look like train tracks but a little more clear i guess

1611
02:48:26,360 --> 02:48:32,680
and uh maybe i'll regret it because in visa line is a lot more there's a lot less noticeable

1612
02:48:32,760 --> 02:48:38,120
but i don't know dude you got to get frosted tips and no it's actually more and train it's actually

1613
02:48:38,120 --> 02:48:43,080
it's actually more expensive than in visa line but i just got dined by like a by like a couple

1614
02:48:43,080 --> 02:48:48,120
hundred dollars or something not by like a huge amount given the total outlay um but i was just
