 Yeah i wasn't i was surprised how little you spoke yeah
 i wasn't i'll tell you that oh i definitely i definitely wasn't
 we see full version somewhere oh we'll see what happens right?
 Probably write about some stuff. Yeah exactly You know that's the caption Tommy sometimes
 yeah yeah yeah
 But anyway um
 Man
 I uh
 It's weird because like
 I've been doing this thing where like
 I'll wake up and be really tired
 And then i'll be like
 Ah you know, I'm not sure what we're gonna do
 Then I just went well i just go live and i feel like way better oh dude i feel way better as soon as
 I'm actually live because I'm like yeah like, I don't know if I'm going to
 Go on stream today or not uh every time i get up I'm actually live because I'm like, yeah. I don't know if I'm going to go and stream today or not.
 Every time I get up, I'm good to go. Addicted?
 Do you think it's depression
 or addiction? Ooh!
 Maybe you're right. That could be it.
 Yeah, true.
 Weirdo brain fog sucks. Yeah, true Wibble brain fog sucks yeah, I know I've been lazy that's what it is
 You gonna watch the oomph-a-bill video today? I think I might
 Yeah, I think I might it'll be pretty fucking funny to see it.
 Like, I'm expecting that...
 ...I'm expecting that he'd-
 I'm actually very curious to see what's gonna be covered, you know?
 Are they going to play Throne Liberty Beta? I'm going to be honest with you.
 I've actually considered going back and trying the game again, because how bad my first impression was
 And I was thinking to myself,
 I was like,
 hmm,
 maybe I should try it again
 and you know,
 give it a second chance.
 Uh,
 I'm not sure if I will
 but um,
 yeah.
 That's about it.
 You want me to down the podcast or something good? Yeah, that's about it. You're down to podcast with some fucking good?
 Yeah I'm glad man.
 If y'all keep throwing liberty shit in his ass...
 yeah I know but I was thinking about it today
 like before I even went live Have you ever changed your mind? I don't, but
 sometimes I can
 get a better idea of what I think.
 You know what I mean?
 Did you finally watch Ko's interview? I need to eventually, man.
 Are you going to make a YouTube video on Throne of Liberty?
 I already did! Um...I made a video about like
 my playthrough of the game and
 I didn't really-like mo-I mean
 I do so much stuff, like
 I don't really read the sometimes like there'll be comments and
 like everybody back wow asmr hates him now like i can't believe like everybody hated like this video
 i don't even know what happened like i i didn't even like I don't read them,
 I don't even see them, I don't even know what they are.
 So like yeah every
 once every 20 videos I might
 look and see what people were saying
 otherwise no I have no idea
 i really no fucking clue so yeah don't nobody told me uh that been on
 for an hour and to take a break so i took this assigned uninstall
 it's a good decision, man. Yeah.
 Give me back my Twitch
 account? Oh boy. Let's see
 here. No fucking clue either. Yeah, I know.
 And Transmod contest today?
 Bro, like...
 I feel like... I don't know like I I think back on a lot of the
 times that uh what do you call it a lot of times I did transmod contests and everything
 and it's been weird like not doing them
 all the time
 because that used to be
 some of my main content
 and now I don't do
 them hardly as much.
 And like,
 I don't necessarily
 think that's a bad thing
 necessarily
 because for me
 the way I see it is like I want to have
 this stream might evolve every year you know and like kind of keep you know
 growing and changing and I see people that kind of stick around then they do
 the same thing all the time.
 And uh, I feel like you just um...
 You know, you just fizzle out, y'know?
 Like it's-
 I can't really explain it! I wouldn't want to put myself in that position, man.
 We do a Transmont concert
 and they never patch or something?
 Maybe.
 We'll see what happens, right?
 But I did do one semi recently,
 to be fair.
 Yeah, states the word that you want to look at. Stale? Yeah, it states the word that you want Stale. Yes stale
 That's what it is. You love old McConnell when The War Within comes out
 If he wants to i'll do it
 Yeah, I mean i'm down to do it absolutely
 Like i'm not going to do like some fucking
 12-hour no-life session.
 I'm just gonna play the game and then
 go to bed and then wake up
 the next day and play the game again.
 That's my mindset for it.
 Also, change like Microsoft?
 Yeah, exactly. You gotta always be
 doing new shit, man.
 What is this here? A story goes on...
 Oh, I've been seeing this. Yeah, apparently Japan has realized that
 man, Ubisoft has been doing some stuff with Japanese fucking lore
 It's a little different right? It's a little different, right?
 It's a little interesting how much
 creative liberty they've decided
 to take here, you know?
 So yeah,
 it's all over Japan's news? Yeah I guess so.
 And Storgerson- yeah I saw this a little bit myself
 Let me see if I can go and pull up and show some of the updates here about it
 Where the hell is it? There's this, and this one here.
 And then there's this one... I think this was about...
 Yeah, I think that was about it.
 Okay! So anyway, yes, the Assassin's Creed
 a lot of people have
 had enough of this shit
 in Japan. So apparently
 what happened is that
 when the game came out I I don't think maybe like Japanese audiences
 didn't really understand what was going on or they weren't really familiar with it
 or something right? But now it seems like people have done some more digging
 and a lot of the story
 of the Yasuke
 you know, the black samurai
 was built off of
 a guy who wrote a book
 who basically made a lot of shit up.
 That's basically it, and if you read
 Assassin's Creed Shadows is now a national issue in Japan
 Nippon Journal is exposing Thomas Lockley's lies including his false claim about Yasuke
 becoming a samurai or being a samurai. Historians newspapers and the diet are uniting against
 this distortion
 of history.
 Oh my god.
 Wow.
 I'll be honest,
 I didn't think that they would care
 since you know how dumb typical Americans are.
 Well yeah! I mean...
 I-I think that they do so this is kind of like the difference and then also
 They're trying to make the characters gay
 Which is like, I saw somebody on Twitter bring this
 comment up, which is like
 Enzo
 how do you know? Like E-Z-I-O
 like Ezio
 the other Assassin's Creed character. Like this wasn't
 a human being right? This wasn't a person
 in history. They invented this
 character in order to
 tell a story about
 Assassin's Creed right? But whenever you're taking a real person
 and then you're changing potentially
 what their sexuality was,
 that's way different than having your own
 character that you've written
 that could be bisexual or something like that.
 So, like, you're changing a real person's sexuality
 in one case and then the other one
 you're making a new character and you can
 take as many creative liberties as you want.
 So I do think that's a pretty big difference.
 It is! So... Is everyone black and gay? Apparently yes
 That's what happened. We might have new Honkai Star Rail voice actor drama
 Ooh! Remind me about
 that after this. I'll look at
 that, that sounds stupid enough for
 me to care about. Let's see this here
 I really hope it's as big of a deal as people make it sound
 I don't want it to end up like another Japanese professor situation
 where he turned out to be neither Japanese
 nor a professor. As a Westerner,
 I don't really care about this per se.
 Here's the thing, right?
 Is that if they're colonizing Japan's
 culture while inputting their own agenda
 maybe they have a smirk on their faces while telling themselves
 see we fixed Japan. Yeah
 I think people hate the fakery
 of it. That is the reason why people are annoyed by this
 more than anything else so yeah i love watching this trash fire over game burn can you guys dude
 I'm so excited for this game to come out. I really am,
 I cannot wait!
 It's gonna be so fucking fun!
 So Thomas Lockley the mastermind behind
 False History of Yasuke as a Samurai
 has had his career and the entire program
 on Nihon University erased. It's over.
 Yasuke was a nobody
 used by the elites
 to support Afrocentrism.
 The truth has been won over the liars.
 Oh my, the assassin in
 quote, assassin problem
 the University of Japan erased
 the career of Associate Professor
 Rockley and NHK deleted the
 program. Oh my god!
 Bro, like they're
 this is uh
 bro, they're not playing around
 with this dude man. Holy shit!
 Look at this. Thanks Ubisoft history was nearly subverted
 Wikipedia edits were locked people were banned and money fueled the propaganda
 This prompted the Japanese to investigate And the author's mistake of using his nickname on Wikipedia exposed him.
 Ubisoft hero or villain?
 They blocked me.
 Man...
 Got blocked by Ubisoft for making this tweet, yeah! SH shut it down turn it get rid of it
 turn everything off no ban them bad ball that's what they're trying to do block everybody Everybody!
 Who knew Ubisoft was another sweet baby? Pretty much everybody, actually.
 Yeah I mean it that's...
 I-I mean the truth is like everybody knew
 that.
 Yeah what do you mean? Like is that really
 You didn't...yeah everybody knew that
 Anyway, what's this here
 Uh imagine Japan cutting off diplomatic ties.
 Oh, oh, here we go!
 Yeah, there we go.
 The Assassin's Creed Shadows issues with Yusuke
 and the discredited historian
 Thomas Lockley have exploded into a potential democratic incident.
 Letters are being sent with questions to Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
 Science and Technology, Ministry of foreign affairs, ministry
 of economy, trade, and industry.
 While the government has not taken action
 yet, they are waiting for final release
 of the game to decide, and there is
 mounting pressure in Japan to address this issue with
 Ubisoft portraying false information
 to Japanese children.
 Oh man.
 Well...
 Well, why do you care so much if it was a samurai? No Japanese people are obsessed with it.
 Yeah, that's true.
 Do you remember all the people
 that were saying this?
 Why do you care so much
 if he was a samurai? No Japanese people are obsessed with it.
 Remember that, whenever everybody was saying this?
 That's crazy huh? Omega lol I love being right. So do I man!
 So do I! Those are the fucking days
 man. This is a good thing to wake up
 to you know what i mean? It's their fucking culture and history exactly yeah
 It's fucking hilarious, and they care about afro samurai cuz was awesome
 Well it's also because Afro Samurai wasn't a real person like that's that's another big factor, isn't it?
 It's like one thing you're like
 okay, yeah, we're gonna have this
 story and it's like
 yeah, I didn't think it was
 there's no implication oh yeah, yeah this is kinda how it was back in the day
 It's like Samurai Jack? Yeah that's what they did over on Japan
 I don't know if people knew that. That demon that demon guy at Pooh? That guy was real!
 Yeah, can you believe that?
 Holy shit, and the other guy, that was actually Braveheart.
 It's Mel Gibson.
 Can you believe
 that? The guy with the bagpipes!
 No, it's just bullshit right? Or was that Akku? Yeah I forgot.
 But anyway yeah no it is funny to see people downplaying this
 and now Japanese audiences are finally starting to see it.
 And, uh, it seems like also it's very hard for us to know why exactly something
 like this happened with their stock.
 I mean, it could have just been a readjustment
 but I could say that
 this definitely doesn't look good or not.
 Yeah, it definitely doesn't.
 They don't care at all of a black samurai?
 They just hate the cultural appropriation being misrepresented for the profits
 of Western company?
 Well I think that's the right take to have.
 I mean I agree with them.
 True! So true!
 Do you think Afro Samurai give a massive boost
 anime and normalization in western audiences?
 What really boosted anime?
 I'm trying to think of like what- Like, I mean, I think Spirited Away
 was really big
 Howl's Moving Castle
 super popular
 then you had, I think a big thing
 was, yeah, Dragon Ball Z. Actually you guys are
 so much more right than I am. Dragon
 Ball Z was the gateway drug.
 Absolutely. Like everybody grew
 up watching Dragon Ball Z.
 Any guy that is plus minus... Honestly,
 probably 20 years of age. Probably even kids now
 are growing up watching Dragon Ball Z, I would assume.
 So it's like everybody knows
 this. And like Sailor Moon? Yeah!
 Pokemon and stuff like that. and i think that also another
 thing that like got people more into
 like the more
 um you know like uh the more like it
 like
 I don't know really what the word is for
 it like the deeper anime was Adult Swim. Because
 I don't know about you guys but how many of y'all
 stayed up late watching Adult Swim
 and you'd watch Ghost in the Shell
 Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Shampoolo
 fucking Trigun
 InuYasha
 all of those right? Yeah of course
 Naruto yep there it is
 Cowboy Bebop there's another one
 Right? Hellsing yeah yeah. And so I think
 that was a really big fucking thing
 was having that happen. And I think
 after
 I'm not sure exactly when it really
 popped off here. I feel like a big reason
 why anime popped off
 is because of
 COVID.
 And I don't know really what that
 goes to say about anime, uh...
 What do you call it? Like, anime viewers, right?
 So it's like COVID is a massive mental health crisis for the world.
 And then everybody started watching anime.
 Like, I don't know. Netflix?
 No, I think Netflix definitely helped out a lot too. It was way
 before... No, I'm saying like
 you think of it as a stairway
 where I'm not saying that the entire
 stairway was COVID. I'm saying
 one or two steps were. That's all I'm saying, is that I think
 that COVID definitely kept everybody
 home, people started watching more
 stuff, and then people got used
 to watching anime. Yeah, yeah, that's really
 it. Stairway to Hell? It depends on how you look at it.
 But yeah,
 people turned to waifus in COVID.
 They did.
 And I think that's why
 Genshin Impact got
 really popular too.
 But anyway,
 back to this.
 I'm going to be honest.
 I'm glad to see this happen.
 The reason why is because it's a lie.
 It's
 a lie. I don't care whether
 the guy was a samurai or not. But I do
 care if somebody else cares and they want to tell me that it's not or was.
 That's what I do care about.
 And when I see someone who is out there trying to paint a picture
 that's not real, trying to lie
 Trying to make up a bunch of bullshit
 Then yeah! That's what you fucking
 get.
 It's phony it's Ubisoft performative nonsense
 it absolutely is.
 I believe it was marketing? Yeah marketing too probably
 a little bit. Am I wrong for not liking anime?
 No, why would you be wrong for not liking anime?
 It's ridiculous.
 Yeah.
 I also think that another reason why anime got popular
 is because
 anime doesn't have the same types of
 like social tropes
 that western media has
 Like for example
 you know like the South
 Park put a woman in and make them gay or
 something like that, right? People don't have
 that same type of distrust with eastern
 media so even whenever
 eastern media uses things like, you know...
 I always use a good example of Deon from Final Fantasy XVI.
 Nobody sees Deon from Final Fantasy XVI and thinks to themselves
 Oh, DEI on, right? Or something like that.
 They never think that because
 it's just a good character and there's
 the authenticity that's preserved.
 So yeah.
 Do you know what else is fucking cool? Yeah, people
 liked him a lot. And like, that's the the point right is that I think a lot of people have begun to distrust Western media
 To tell an authentic story
 That's been a big factor
 Anime's dying? You think anime's dying?
 Well I don't know about that.
 I feel like a lot of people like anime.
 But yeah, either way
 I feel like
 obviously with that happening you're going to see
 more of a congruency with cultures,
 because the more people start watching anime
 The more crossover there'll probably be between
 A Japanese audience and an American audience
 It's just the way a lot of things go,
 it's just natural, but
 I'm glad to see the
 Japanese people holding these people
 accountable for this because
 it's just like... Am i the only person that thinks about
 it like from this direction where it's like
 I don't really care about this but I care that they care enough to change it. It's not like this
 is a big issue to me, I don't have
 a dog in the race here
 you know? Like, it's not a big deal
 but if you're gonna try and push
 this, especially doing with this sense of self-righteousness Like, if you're gonna try to push this and like... Especially doing it with
 like this sense of self-righteousness
 Get the fuck outta here.
 Get th- It's so obnoxious
 Let's get that pushback. Yeah!
 Well the important thing about push back is the fact that in
 order for something to have pushback you need to have originally been pushed so stop trying
 to push people and you're not going to have this problem. There ya go!
 Vindication can be a nice feeling?
 Yeah, it's that simple.
 Ubisoft is a clown company? I mean
 to be honest they kind of are like
 They went through the same shit Blizzard did and I guess they're trying to make
 up for it in the exact same kind of way
 So yeah, it's looking like Assassin's
 Creed Shadows is
 you know... I wonder
 what's going to happen
 I genuinely do,
 because if
 the Japanese government
 says something bad or
 condemns it, or a large part of
 Japanese audiences and Japanese interest groups condemn it,
 I wonder what Ubisoft is going to do. Because from their direction... From
 their perspective if they apologize then they are capitulating to
 alt-right Nazis. But
 if they don't apologize, then they're racist
 against Japanese people.
 And it's like I wonder which side
 they're going to fall off on.
 I am and yeah,! Who knows what's gonna happen?
 It's a fucking mystery.
 Why are people complaining about the Assassin's Creed
 when it has never been historically accurate?
 I think the reason
 why is because of the reason why
 people think it's being done.
 So basically,
 if other
 creative liberties were being taken with the story that weren't done in order to
 present the company as being forward thinking then i think people wouldn't have had as negative
 of a reaction to it oh Oh, thanks for the raid
 Jonathan. Thank you man. I appreciate it. Thank you very much
 and I think
 that's the reason why people push
 back on it a lot. It's not that
 they're doing it. It's that they want to have like...
 They are looking for good boy points
 for doing it. And in the process of
 looking for good boy points
 they end up doing something
 even worse than if they had just made the story naturally.
 So that's the reason why people push back on it
 a lot. It's the intellectual dishonesty
 and I think people don't like being
 told something that seems
 to be blatantly untrue by somebody who seems
 to be a virtue signaling asshole. That's really the reason
 why I think it is happening. Plus they are claiming it as accurate
 Yeah, and they also were saying it's accurate. Right?
 Like when Assassin's Creed
 Had you fighting the Pope
 And the Pope is like a wizard
 And he's shooting spells
 Assassin's Creed wasn't like
 No no see
 You have to understand
 that if you go into the Vatican
 so they won't show you these books anymore
 but Galileo's original research
 was how to cast a fireball.
 It had nothing to do with the planets and that's all fake no
 it's about fireballs and uh and having like a
 like being able to ride a really big lizard or a dragon or something
 no so so like you're never... There's never the
 insult to the individual's intelligence
 right? And I think that's what people
 really don't like is they don't like the fact it's an
 insult to their intelligence more than
 anything else.
 Am I mistaken, Yasuke was a samurai according to historians?
 Well, I've got a funny story to tell you about those historians.
 I've got a really funny story about one of those very well-known historians.
 He's not a historian, he's just telling his story, okay?
 That's all.
 He's a fiction writer? Yeah it's HIS story.
 It's his headcanon? Something like that exactly.
 And so there you go!
 Rip Bozo. You get what you fucking deserve.
 That's what I say.
 This other world's richest
 person spends his free time?
 Yeah, I mean...
 What was he playing?
 He was playing Diablo.
 I mean, yeah... He's playing. Yeah, he's playing Diablo.
 I mean... yeah?
 Yeah, yeah, he's playing Diablo. Yeah? Yeah.
 I wonder if those curved monitors are any good.
 Yeah...
 The gamer? Yeah, this is- yeah no, I'm actually curious like cause no, yeah i'm not sure
 man what's the camera quality yes good exactly yeah
 good refresh rate i bet like it's probably relaxing for him because, like,
 I noticed this and I was thinking about it for a minute.
 He doesn't... I don't think
 he has any other real monitors
 hardly, right? I mean, he just has
 the one big monitor. And I notice this whenever I played Dragon's Dogma 1.
 If I stopped paying attention to the other monitors
 and I stopped watching YouTube video in the background
 that I just played the game,
 the experience was much
 more...
 Can I use the word maybe refreshing?
 It was much more real.
 Right? It was just better.
 It was immersive. It was authentic.
 It was much better.
 It was better, okay? There you go.
 It was fucking better.
 I'm curious
 if that's probably the reason why.
 But, yeah, what a big fucking surprise, guys.
 You know, a guy that's...
 Elon Musk is like 50-something, right?
 So he's not really that old. So he probably grew up
 playing video games, right? To be honest
 is Prism of Gamathor? Yeah!
 Of course! Like, what the fuck? No, at least
 the kid knows who's left. Yeah, exactly! Like, what do you mean?
 Yeah, I feel like he owns that one worn out piece
 of clothing he still wears it because didn't break apart yet it's an easy decision to make
 man wonder how many games make their living off elon musk just dropping some
 of his spare change on microtransactions.
 I don't know about him whaling, right?
 I don't know if he's played any of those games or not.
 I've always felt like whenever you have the money to spend
 to whale in a video game,
 the desire isn't
 there as much. Because it's
 like you know you can get it so
 why would you even go after it? It's just
 stupid. That's the way
 I feel right? Whenever I see a game is pay-to-win, it's the way I feel right? Is like whenever I see a game is pay to win it's like okay i'll do this for stream content or something like that. Yeah sure but like why would I do this?
 Oh yeah I can just go spend more money and I'm going to get farther in the
 game. This is stupid. I'll just play something
 else." Right? Cause it's like
 Yeah, I'm not gonna waste my money on this
 What the fuck? No way
 Did you see Shane Gill's Trump impression?
 I heard about it, but didn't see it.
 Maybe I saw a couple of clips, but that was it.
 So yeah...
 Did you end up following Trump's Twitch?
 I didn't actually.
 I-I didn't see it.
 If you got Elon Musk wailing in your game you're set for life yeah true Here we go.
 He always finds a way to win. And when he's back in our White House,
 America is gonna start winning again.
 He's got a higher IQ than any man alive.
 He's going gonna fix everything the price of food and gas
 and housing is out of control
 and the only person who can clean this up
 is donald trump it's the problems with all of The only person who can clean this up is Donald Trump.
 Fix the problems with all of that crap!
 He's gonna make them grow again!
 He's going to win in November, and we're all going to be champions again when he wins. Let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother!
 Let Trump-a-mania make America great again!
 That's what I thought Terry Crews would never do it
 But
 I could see a universe where terry crews comes in for
 in four years from now the next republican convention dressed up like this and he just
 does it there at the convention. And everybody's
 having a great time, and
 it's fucking hilarious.
 Yeah, he's a Trump
 guy too? I'm not sure if he is, right?
 I have no idea what his political politics are, right?
 He's probably one of those guys that tries to
 just, you know, like okay
 I just want to make movies and I don't want to get involved with some
 bullshit, right? And so
 yeah, he might be a Republican
 but like being a Republican doesn't mean
 you want to go to the
 Republican National fucking convention
 You know what I mean?
 Holy shit!
 Yeah, you just wanna hang out with your kids
 and chill out
 But either way
 Imagine having him actually show up
 at the next fucking convention
 just doing this.
 I want you guys to know that there is a non-zero chance of that happening.
 There is.
 Warframe is making a Soulslight called SoulFrame?
 I know all about it.
 Maybe there might be new information,
 I know they're doing an event today,
 but before then
 I've kept up with the whole thing.
 Absolutely.
 You cut a good promo?
 Absolutely, man.
 Destiny's Child gets...
 God damn bro like
 I guess I
 For a second I thought it was the band
 or the singer group right?
 From like the 90s uh it gets permitted from
 uh by twitch for a meme nathan got banned from twit wait so they ban
 destiny's kid
 what What?
 What did he do?
 What did he do? The only person left to be banned off Twitch for threatening Destiny has been his kid uh what did he say so Oh, jeez. oh. How do you ban that?
 That's fucking hilarious!
 How is that bannable? I mean, I would understand if he didn't
 have the yellow tip on the gun.
 And it's like yeah
 but look It's obviously got the yellow tip And it's like, yeah. But look!
 It's obviously got the yellow tip.
 It's a toy!
 Nathan didn't miss.
 Oh my fucking god.
 This is hilarious!
 My first stream title?
 What was this stream title? I don't even know what it was But either way
 It's hilarious! Yes
 This is so funny
 If This is so funny! If that's it, I feel like
 it's some error on Twitch's part.
 I don't see how they could be thought of as a threat.
 It's a toy gun it has the indicator that says that
 it's a toy gun it's the guy and his son
 destiny's execution was the stream title.
 Destiny Execution soon.
 I get... Okay okay look. I can get how Twitch might be like,
 Okay we can't have this because
 We're worried that we could get in trouble for
 liability, right?
 But it didn't need to be an indefinite
 suspension.
 It doesn't need to be an indefinite
 like...
 This is like a three day,
 Like a week
 maybe right?
 It's an instant- it's a joke!
 It's obviously a fucking joke
 I said that i was going to kill people that I know in the past. It's just a fucking joke! Chill out!
 It's like what so weird to me... How is it possible that somebody who's joking gets banned, but somebody who's not joking
 doesn't. How the fuck
 does this happen?
 What kind of fucking morons are running
 things over there? Well I know
 what kind of morons. It's people that don't like destiny
 that's the reason why it's got nothing to do with what happened and it's got everything
 to do with who it's happening to it's not principled there's no logic involved with this, there's no like okay
 well let's look at the way our rules are set up and see how we can apply this fairly.
 No! No! No! It's oh it's the guy that we don't like? He's
 wrong. Oh it's the guy our politics
 align with? Of course- I mean
 We can't ban him. Of course not
 Jesus
 So fucking pathetic.
 Oh my god, other
 streamers are making threats to Destiny just a few weeks
 ago and Twitch didn't care. Yeah
 people were threatening
 Destiny weeks ago and Twitch didn't give a fuck about it.
 There's no logic involved
 with how Destiny thinks either,
 in my opinion.
 This is a company
 that has a set of rules
 that the application
 of those rules as said is used as a reference for everybody else on how to behave on the website.
 And when you adhere and apply those rules in a way that is not fair,
 that is incongruent
 and asymmetrical. It's confusing
 for everybody on the platform
 and it goes a lot farther
 than just being destiny.
 It's not about whether it's about destiny or not, it's about
 are you using the rules in a
 way that they are intended?
 Is this what's happening? Is this something
 that people can predict to happen in the future?
 Probably not! It's confusing!
 It's extremely confusing,
 and especially because this was so funny
 of all the things it's fucking hilarious!
 Jesus!
 Listen child doesn't make music anymore? Yeah exactly right.
 Oh my god.
 It was funny as fuck but so unfair
 so no one toes the line. That sounds good to me.
 Be unfair so no one toes the line sounds good to me.
 Well, but like this wasn't even
 against the rules. Like I don't even see this being against the rules at all. You can say something like this, it's an obvious joke right?
 It's like something like this is always bad if you take away every degree of context and nuance to it
 that's it yeah wasn't gonna watch it who decides what a joke is i mean twitch can
 decide what it is but and i have no have no problem. If Twitch wants to say
 yeah, that's a joke, but we just can't
 have stuff like that on our website,
 if Twitch said that, I'd be like, I agree.
 Then ban the people that were actually threatening them.
 I totally agree. The problem isn't
 that it's not that there are two people,
 There isn't a problem if neither of them are banned or both of them are banned
 but there is a problem when one of them is banned.
 That's the issue. Hopefully
 that makes sense.
 It should be, it's the double standard.
 Absolutely, it's the double fucking standard.
 Let's see here.
 Wicked. Broken the double fucking standard let's see here wicked broken fly but still chooses to be cool what's this Here comes the... I just feel like this is something
 I'd see in WoW nowadays.
 You know, it's like a moonkin on the
 fucking Skyreaver mount
 or the Skygolam mount.
 Yeah. Yeah. sky reaver mount or the the sky golem mount yeah
 not wrong yeah i'm like one of those
 mechagon mounts
 young killable soldier this british
 soldier who fought in both world wars was shot in the face, head, ankle, leg,
 hip and ear, survived plane crashes tunneled out of a prisoner of war camp and tore off his own
 fingers when a doctor wouldn't amputate them. He later said, frankly I enjoyed the war."
 Jesus Christ...
 Ah damn! He fought another war? Holy
 shit!
 Yeah this guy- holy fu- yeah look at his eye! Like Jesus. It's insane.
 Yeah.
 The uh... the Sabaton song and a couple of soldiers about him?
 Yeah I'm not surprised.
 Watching a video of a react stream or react to a video inside
 a video game modeled after his own house i know crazy isn't it well they tried what's this um oh um Damn it, man.
 Another one got away. Well, what are you gonna do I mean sometimes they get away from you everyone's
 watching where is he going I don't know I have no fucking idea what
 are they doing I've no idea no clue whatsoever about this.
 But it seems like they're trying to help him and then he changed his mind?
 I don't know. Apparently it seems like this wasn't true, I'm not sure.
 Double standard in the making.
 Meanwhile, the case of Genshin fictional characters got so many
 people upset. Imagine being a billionaire
 upset over fictional characters.
 Bros So Racist even put Legos
 on there. Wow. Well
 it's obviously a
 double standard. It is everybody knows
 that that's why so many people are
 pissed off yeah absolutely BaristaRacist
 put Legos in there he doesn't know what
 racism is exactly race swap every client
 is bad in my opinion i don't think it's really bad or not i think that it's only
 bad whenever it's done for a reason that's not because there was a better
 actor like nobody's complaining about a race
 swap for nick fury nobody was complaining about a race swap for Nick Fury. Nobody
 was complaining about a race swap for
 like fucking
 actually I would say Green Lantern
 but people hated that fucking movie
 But that wasn't really the reason why they complained about it. Yeah, I mean
 Nick Fury wasn't a
 fucking... He was a white guy in the comics
 What are we talking about? Nick Fury was white?
 Yeah, he was white in the comics. Nobody cares
 It's not really a problem.
 It's only a problem if it's done
 with no other explicit reason
 other than to position yourself
 as being forward-thinking, right?
 That's Yennefer, right?
 Well, people didn't like that one to be fair but uh yeah
 Russell racist put Legos in there you know something that we did so you're racist exactly
 U.S is bringing Blacks when I've created talent a couple some new comparing black
 characters well they have there's plenty of characters like that. What do you mean?
 No idea why these nutshops
 are so racist against gingers?
 Well, the reason why is because they're just racist.
 It's not... I don't know
 why people don't understand the obvious reality here.
 Why are they like this? It's because they're racist.
 There is not really a lot of secret to this, it's not that...
 Like, why is it okay for them to do it?
 And then somebody calls it out and they say now you're racist.
 It's because they're racist.
 That's the reason why there's no,
 there's no reason debating this, right?
 It's not like you're going to reason them
 out of this position because it's not a,
 it's in the position that's arrived at via thinking. That's it. The ginger race. I mean
 I don't know maybe there just aren't a lot of ginger actors i'll tell you that definitely
 there's the black mcfury it's all alternate universes yeah but they've done a million
 alternate universes for everything i'm saying like that's what the way
 the character was originally
 seen as, and like for me
 I know from The Green Lantern, I grew up
 with the Justice League, the comic
 or the cartoon, I thought The Green
 Lantern was a black guy
 later on I learned oh no it's a the cartoon, I thought the Green Lantern was a black guy.
 Right?
 I mean like later on I learned oh no it's a different lantern and there's different people that have the ring.
 Like I didn't know that whenever I was a fucking kid.
 I was like oh yeah it's this black guy right?
 Yeah for sure.
 Same- yeah! It sounded like Ryan Reynolds playing this, like why?
 It was confusing to me.
 Live footage of Asmogold rage quitting a video game.
 Man sets record for most cans crushed with head
 in 30 seconds.
 There's too much blood coming out of his head?
 Why would you post this?
 If there's blood, just don't
 post it. It's very simple. Like I don't know... well, how is this hard?
 It's so simple. If something even comes close to violating
 TOS,
 I probably won't get in trouble
 for it but I try to
 play it kind of safe
 and I try to follow the rules because
 that way whenever I eventually
 do accidentally break them
 I can go back and say hey listen
 I actively try to avoid
 breaking the rules so there's a little bit of plausible deniability.
 If I'm constantly showing stuff like this,
 it makes me look like a dumbass. Why would you
 post this? Let's see here.
 This dog just do a head shake
 stick... What the fuck?
 ... this dog just do a head shake stick what the fuck damn
 damn bro what the fuck? He's him?
 Yeah exactly.
 Exactly bro like that's what the fuck you're an NPC.
 Oh good!
 You're here. Sit down.
 This is Agent 3. He'll be debriefing you on the mission.
 Look at that! What the hell?
 What are all them kids doing?
 Yep. From you on the mission. Yeah Hello, I'm agent three
 Yeah, he's actually busy. Yeah to me from the enemy though. I'm counting on you to protect me it's dangerous to go alone you'll need this
 don't lose it dropping him
 i'm counting on you
 to protect me.
 Don't mess this up.
 I'll be watching.
 Any questions?
 It's a nice day with you around. I love how this happens, everybody knows they're talking about Bethesda games
 but somehow people are shocked when the new one comes out and it's totally
 up as if the entire reputation and every single meme surrounding these games
 is about the game not working right.
 Think about it, every meme about Bethesda games is
 about somehow it's not
 working the way it's supposed to.
 Something is messed up.
 That's the charm? Yeah,
 it's the charm but like
 man, it's been a long time
 shouldn't you try a better charm
 that just works man?, I guess so. Holy
 shit!
 One excuse for yesterday.
 Oh boy.
 I'm gonna be honest. I slept through this.
 I didn't even know this happened i had no idea
 folks are half the staying power yeah it is was this really bad how long were things
 out probably not that long fame done right what is this something good today we're taking all this down to the local animal shelter and donuts I'm not going to do that.
 Now you're asking about a month ago? I couldn't afford that.
 Where are my dolphins?
 They're bringing me somebody named Blondie.
 She does not like cats and she has also been here over 130 days
 And she needs to get home.
 Come get this girl!
 Look at her!
 Oh, no, no, no,
 we're not doing that.
 Oh, you are cute!
 That's nice.
 We got really animal-care controlled place coming down
 with these cool little kitty cats
 and dogs just to take all of them
 out every single one of them
 right now.
 That's nice.
 You know what's funny is that
 I never watched this original video because I saw all the people on Twitter that were stupid,
 that we're saying the Hawk to a meme.
 And I was like,
 I don't want to watch this because it's just going to make me dumber
 like i'll give you an example like i never actually watched the harambe video
 i just saw a picture of it and i'm like yeah there's so they shot a gorilla okay
 okay a picture of it? And I'm like, yeah. So they shot a gorilla? Okay. Okay. So
 you guys are still talking about this?
 Yeah.
 They shot him because the kid
 got in... Yeah, for sure.
 Yeah! it's different I'm just like wait what? What the fuck
 right so it's like yeah
 I don't know what to say
 yeah I never saw any of this shit.
 Too soon? Uh-huh. For sure.
 Oh my god.
 That was tough, Sensei.
 Hey, Arita-kun...
 You're making a mistake again. Oh, my God. oh So fucking stupid.
 Oh my god.
 Whoa, what is this here?

 This is a surprise for me my dear honey you come back to me my dear i mean there's some of them i definitely say that's true not Not all of them, but some of them. Take a look at what happened...
 ... Take a look at what happened.
 I didn't see the media report this. More fake news, I guess.
 What the fuck? I guess Bale must have just gone on to phase two up there.
 Yeah!
 Damn, that's crazy!

 It's not enough! We need more diversity! Allies from the shadows!
 Like another woman? Like another woman.
 Then we need another ginger dude, can't have
 diversity without equity!
 Can't trust him. How about brown
 but not too brown. I feel like that's kind of just a white guy.
 And someone Asian!
 There are billions of them!
 We need someone with the power over life and death.
 A rich old white guy?
 No, we need someone... urban?
 Oh my god!
 Jesus Christ.
 Wow, that was... I know!
 And someone without a race or gender for our undefined audience to project themselves onto. Jesus Christ!
 One more...
 Oh my god!
 Someone who is nothing to be
 our everything
 I mean no skin, no face
 No identifiable features
 So nobody gets pissed off.
 But where are we
 gonna find them?
 Oh, shit!
 They're perfect.
 Together
 we can brace for the negative reviews as BioWare defies the fans
 and does whatever the fuck they want with their beloved IPs
 This is so stupid

 DOA? No. Uh-Oh! I'm not seeing it.
 Let me see where can I find the I'm not seeing it.

 about it? Is it on
 the subreddit?
 I'm assuming
 it is, right?
 Honkai Star Realm. No...
 Okay yeah what a surprise
 What the fuck?
 Um...
 I'm not sure what this, like
 I'm not really seeing it.
 Yeah, where is it?
 I gotta find it.
 I went past it?
 I skipped it?
 Okay.
 This is Sunday Voice Actor...
 Fake Collab, New Crossover, Bad Gamble...
 Surely the fanbases will be civil...
 I'm really just not seeing it, guys.
 Yeah, somebody's got to find me a link to it

 Oh! where the hell it is. Yeah.
 You see a woke
 Doom Eternal creator getting shit on because he's getting
 cancelled saying it's wrong no I
 didn't see that you'd have to find it
 for me gotcha gaming subreddit okay
 this will take me a second to get to the bottom of this, guys.
 Give me... give me a minute. Be patient.
 The vo- is it? This is it, right?
 The voice actor for Sunday on Hongkai Star Rail
 made a shocking post batting for his friend
 Chris Niosi. the voice actor for an upcoming
 character where he essentially says
 that time has passed and people need to
 move on despite the horrible and
 sexual abuse, sexual
 and physical abuse he did. Here's the post right here
 This is a mega thread of all the victims
 What the fuck?
 WHAT?! fuck? What?
 And this
 was 16 hours ago.
 What?
 My name's Griffith, I'm an English voice actor
 and I want to make a post here.
 An ex-'s girlfriend former Chris
 accused of sexual
 emotional abuse.
 Those were accusations
 responded to by Chris
 who owned up to
 apologize for the things
 he did while also
 correcting the record
 for what he did not do
 no criminal charges have been brought against him
 and over the past five years, Chris has struggled
 to improve himself and right those wrongs while slowly
 trying to regain his ability to work again
 During this time, Chris has earned
 support from many of his colleagues both privately and publicly.
 He's been hired by multiple studios and after
 facing consequences...
 Okay.
 Then and now even after face
 consequences... Yeah okay. After we have front row seats
 and everything that happened and know that Chris apologized
 and changed and grown, we're happy
 he's working again. He gets to pursue a living.
 If the people hurt by Chris
 are believing that he's undeserving of forgiveness or he hasn't changed
 at all, then that's on them.
 Some of those people forgave him, some didn't.
 They have every right to feel however they feel but it doesn't make
 it true and it doesn't give them the right
 to dictate whether or not Chris ever gets to work again if your point of view is no amount of change or apology will be
 enough to forgive someone and you have that power to decide where
 the individual gets to learn a living or not
 you're an unreasonable person.
 Why would you even post this?
 My hope for voicing support of Chris is to broaden the discussion and provide another side to the story. Right now Twitter and X is drowning in negativity with death threats, calls for his firing running rampant.
 This type of toxic discourse is why I left the platform and why
 no longer post there? Yeah you should do that for Reddit too
 Uh I keep an account to respond
 to casting calls and auditions for my job
 but I refuse to add fuel to the fire
 Knowing this puts me at risk for the same sort of vitriol Chris is facing right now fire.
 I mean...
 Okay. Number one, number one
 just because somebody didn't get criminally charged
 doesn't mean that they shouldn't have been
 criminally charged
 there are a lot of cases
 where somebody should get in trouble
 and they don't.
 There aren't many instances
 of this, so if
 he is acknowledged and owned up to the fact that he could have sexually or physically abused people, then him not getting a criminal charge does not like the law does not dictate my morality
 to me now it's a rough
 parallel but focus is
 on the word rough
 I don't care what the law
 says oh somebody didn't go to jail for this?
 Okay! But he said
 he did it!
 If he's admitting that he did something bad
 like this, what the fuck does a criminal
 charge have to do against like if
 so it's only bad if you get charged for it that's not true
 oj still got off yeah need more insight exactly he admitted to being an abuser
 for like 10 years, yeah. And also
 I don't think
 anybody really gives a shit
 I think that
 Griffin is being
 an idiot. I think that you are
 doing, Chris, the biggest
 fucking underhanded
 dick punch
 fuckin' just like backstab
 that you possibly can by trying to beg
 people to like take-
 Excuse me.
 Take back their sexual accuser or something
 like that? What are you doing?
 Why would you type this? Why would you type this?
 Why would you do that, it doesn't even make any sense!
 It's a Streisand effect exactly
 Yeah. It's like yeah, you're always
 gonna have people that are gonna have
 Like in 10 years people are still going to bring this up with Chris.
 Absolutely! Because it
 happened and you know what else?
 In ten years I bet the people
 he abused will probably still have some
 degree of residual trauma for it. I do!
 Absolutely! So that's what
 you fucking get. So, no,
 I'm not...
 It's not that I forgive. I don't care about
 this, by the way. I don't give a shit.
 But what I will say is that you shouldn't expect
 everybody else to
 basically make decisions based
 off of what you think is okay
 and whenever you start telling people that the way that they feel is
 wrong, and like trying to go to bat for
 this guy, you just seem like a dude
 that's trying to help your friend.
 Like, that's it. And I get that. I've been
 in that situation too. But like this post does so much more harm than good for
 chris because like now it's got now we've got everybody talking about the fact that he had
 allegations again holy nobody shit! Nobody was
 thinking about this, nobody was talking about
 this before. Now he's fucking
 now this guy's bringing it up, now everybody's talking
 about it again. This stuff
 listen guys, it fades away It does guys It fades away
 it does. It fades away
 Even people that have really bad allegations against them
 this was the reality check
 for me. Chris fucking Brown
 Chris Brown beat the fuck
 out of Rihanna in like 2009.
 There's photos over...
 What's this?
 ... I had something in my throat.
 I'm fine.
 Um,
 anyway,
 Chris Brown beat the fuck out of Rihanna. And there were pictures of it, It was a testimony, there was police involved and he's still on the fucking radio
 and people like him! And why is that?
 Because it just simply...
 People will never care about something in the long term.
 There is a massive amount of, like, um,
 recency bias with controversies you can it doesn't matter
 what the controversy is do you remember whenever pewdiepie said the n-word on the bridge
 everybody was like how could anybody do such a thing?
 Wow!
 Oh what is the world coming to?
 That's so horrible
 this could have happened. Now
 look at what we got here I I saw this. This was fucking hilarious.
 Trump got unbanned? There we go!
 Everybody's laughing they think it's fucking funny.
 No, people just don't give a shit.
 So... By making this post
 all this dude is doing
 is drawing attention
 to the fact that
 this guy, Chris,
 is an abuser and he's saying,
 hey, some of you might have forgotten he's an abuser.
 But everybody hasn't forgotten that he's an abuser.
 So what I'm going to is make a post to remind
 the people that didn't
 forget, to forget
 that he was an abuser. It's just such a stupid
 it's so fucking... stupid- It's so fucking stu- What an idiot.
 What a fucking moron!
 Oh my god, what an idiot.
 Who does this?
 Who does it?
 This is so stupid.
 I'm trying to think the different perspectives, like maybe it makes sense
 this way? No, it doesn't. Makes sense this way?
 No, it doesn't. That's just dumb.
 Losers do this? Yeah,
 I guess so. I guess you're right. It must be deliberate.
 It has to be!
 Man's like the scab on the wound?
 Yeah, and he's picking it the fuck off.
 It's so bad.
 I don't know why you would do that, man.
 It's so silly.
 Let me see if I can find the rest of these. I already looked at this stuff too.
 Uh... What's this here?
 Three beers deep. Yeah, there you go.
 Soul Frame gameplay demo.
 Okay, I'll watch this. Yeah, CoffeeZilla
 is being sued by Logan Paul. What a
 fucking surprise.
 Target player shits their whole ass.
 Oh god.
 Okay.
 Can't recommend Intel
 CEOs, okay, whatever. Uh, CPUs?
 Yeah, I don't know about that.
 Okay, let me pull this up and see it.
 So this is the new gameplay from Soulframe.
 So before I saw this,
 my opinion of
 Soulframe, just so you guys know going into it,
 is that the combat was
 less than impressive.
 The game looked fine and the visuals were decent, but the gameplay looked to be weak. Not bad, but just weak so that's how i'm going into it It's a parrot. This is a nice intro. I like this. This is really cool.
 This is great. It's like an Age of Empires castle. is okay I think the character models and the visuals look really uncanny.
 I don't like the way it looks.
 Well, I remember her face.
 A copper globe... baby okay this is a cool character select well interesting it's, I haven't seen a game do this.
 A downy cloud blown across the skies.
 Fallout 3? Yeah, I've just never seen it myself.
 Like night-lock feathers over her eyes.
 Yeah, I think this is an interesting way of introducing something like this. This is cool.
 Of honeymead of spotted gold last love she's the character skin has no surface scattering you see how opaque it is
 no i mean i don't know why i'm just saying that i'm not a designer
 like moses gonna put them out in the river. That's a good touch. I like that.
 So, that was a sneak peek at what we were doing That's a good touch. I like that.
 So, that was a sneak peek at War Song Prologue As i mentioned it is the intro quest and what you saw there
 Is how you create the first customization template of your character there'll be more for that to come so you
 can customize further um we're jumping a bit now it's a bit of a showcase on how
 you can get next ancestry.
 Alright! The Night Fold. So what's really cool if you're in
 Preludes is you can go here
 anytime. It's kind of like having
 your orbiter at
 the snap of a finger. So you can go
 in here, you can talk to ancestors, work on your meta.
 I think this is a very cool idea that you can go back effectively to town at any time that you want by passing through another dimension. This is a very cool idea, I like this a lot.
 Crafting... look at the lore you just unlocked, change your weapons
 as long as there's no aggro enemies in the vicinity
 at any time you can go into
 the knife hold. As you collect your ancestors
 it's kind of like building a village
 within this purgatory plane
 You can maybe show them purgatory plane.
 Yeah, you can walk over to the end. You can maybe show them the blacksmith
 and then just run on into the tent.
 . I can hear all the different musical cues here that we've been working on as well. Each ancestor has their own, which is pretty cool,
 I think a lot of traditional instrumentation used
 and suits or personalities.
 Same with the voices, custom
 voices and all of that.
 Yeah so this is our crafting interface. Basically sort of...
 It's hard for me to know any of this.
 You'll find little fragments of weapons
 that have been broken into pieces
 and you'll bring her back to Tobokai over here
 to reassemble them
 And as you
 reassemble more, she will become
 less self-conscious about herself.
 That imposter syndrome.
 Yeah, real imposter system hitting hard.
 I relate.
 Okay.
 And now I think Joe's going to go and gear up but you can't ignore the poor dog on your way
 most important feature
 all right Alright.
 Of all the dog petting animations, that's one of the better ones.
 Swap out some gear and maybe a little cosmetic change.
 It is.
 It's one of the better ones.
 Okay, so you have this is your customization menu. I'm concerned about this being too artsy in order to be like
 i think taking this approach with the ui is like a decent approach but sometimes
 the design of it is too much form and not enough function. I'll be very
 curious to see kind of
 what this is actually like,
 but that's my immediate concern
 is that when I see
 menus that are really ornate and artsy,
 I think to myself, ah fuck.
 That's an opinion right? This isn't like...I'm saying it's bad. It's just an opinion.
 So yeah let's show a bit of work in progress for the next ancestor coming to Preludes.
 Alright, let's see it.
 Can you come back right
 back to the same place?
 Yeah that's awesome.
 Okay so... okay So let's see some combat here. This is awful. They need to fix this.
 This is so bad.
 If this game releases
 this way, it will fail and you'll waste all of your money.
 They should immediately stop
 thinking about the UI, stop thinking
 about petting dogs, fix
 your fucking combat before you kill
 this game before it even comes out.
 What were you thinking?
 Why would you even
 show this? This is terrible!
 ... You saw three attacks?
 Exactly.
 Show me three attacks in Elden Ring that are like that.
 Well, that's right.
 You can't.
 Or lies of pee.
 Any of these other slow-life souls?
 This is terrible! so I'm going to have to do this again. Jesus Christ!
 Man... Man. That is awful, man!
 That is so bad!
 Here's why I'm concerned. It's that this is the third iteration of this game that has been released to the public,
 That I am aware of. And the third iteration is just as bad
 as the first iteration.
 You remember whenever I watched...
 Let me see if I can go back and show you.
 ... back and show you. New gameplay. Did I show the combat here?
 Because they were stuck there for... Let me see.
 No, it doesn't
 show any of that.
 Oh, that's too bad. Well either way I said the same
 thing when I looked at the combat originally. Yeah, I said
 the same exact thing.
 New gameplay is what you're looking for? No it was the one before that i thought because i remember he like
 he walked into like or she walked into like three enemies and i said they should have cut the trailer
 before the combat started because the combat was so bad it killed my hype for the game.
 Okay, good.
 Like what a stupid fucking... What an absolutely
 fucking stupid perversion
 of priorities.
 So let me get this straight, you're showing two different animations
 of petting rodents and animals but you can't figure out your combat?
 Who the fuck is this game for? Is it a game for people that work at PetSmart or is it for people
 who play video games. What the fuck were you thinking?
 Really, like I'm just being honest so let me
 get this straight
 the So let me get this straight. The rat has a better animation of biting than the player character does of attacking.
 Make it make sense.
 Watch it again.
 And by the way,
 incredible on the rat.
 If the whole game was this rat,
 This game would be a contestant for Game of the Year.
 But it's not.
 It's just a rat.
 Look, watch!
 Look at that!
 That's so good! good is stone I don't even know what's happening.
 Like, let's go back 10 seconds.
 I don't even know
 what's happening here.
 So he goes up in the air
 and then this guy does...
 Like, look at just for a second.
 Who asked for this?
 I really hope they gave an epilepsy warning before they started playing this game. and also like by the way
 I want to go back again
 and I know that I'm... Am I being
 too harsh? I hope so
 because this developer makes
 Warframe. Warframe is one of the only games
 that has a good
 relationship
 with its community.
 Like,
 they should be able to do a better job than
 this. This is...
 No, it is. Yeah, a lot of people like Warframe.
 Like,
 I'm being harsh because I think that they'll actually listen.
 This lightning animation is so...
 This is so cheap, bro!
 It's SO cheap!
 ... I just want to show you guys Just the way it goes through, right?
 It looks fine to me it's cheap bro so cheap
 when we discover look at that and look at this
 who asked for this.
 This is like those pictures of people like, if you see this in the
 if you go out at night and the
 colors are like this, please talk to your doctor immediately
 please go to your local optometrist and we need to give you a different type of glasses There's a heal that the player is doing here.
 It's just Estus Flask, Quick Up, same as everything else. so Let's go Mr. Rat, take us to the Promised Land.
 The world of the game, I think could be a lot better. There is an element of... and was this game made in Unreal Engine 5?
 No.
 It looks a lot like the ones that are.
 There's, like, a certain saminess to a lot of these
 worlds and I feel like this is
 just, like... Okay, it's another
 open area.
 It's their engine? Okay.
 Oh! It's their engine? Okay. Oh, here we go.
 Here we go.
 Oh! Why did they decide to give every player in the game an astigmatism?
 Why was this
 a decision that was made
 visually?
 Why?
 I don't under... why would you do that?
 And you can see how
 every light effect does this same thing.
 It doesn't even make sense!
 Why would there be light that comes out from there doesn't make Call me Sophros!
 Hang on! Power! It's like you saw that jumping mechanic.
 Go back and look at this.
 Look at that and then go
 look at Rinala
 from the DLC
 in Elden Ring
 it suggests From the DLC in Elden Ring.
 It's a joke!
 This is garbage, like it's fucking gar-it's so bad!
 Like like i don't want, look at the way the enemy npc floats
 you see that? Oh, God. uh It's nitpicking? You're right that I'm nitpicking.
 I want to let you know that you are absolutely right
 because
 this is a developer that has
 a successful live service game
 they're announcing this successor
 or not successor but this additional game.
 This game has no excuse to be mediocre.
 There is no excuse for this to be mediocre.
 It should be good.
 And also, here's the thing too.
 People see that
 I understand you might say
 it's nitpicking. But somebody
 sees that and they're like
 oh that doesn't look very good.
 And they're going to think
 that. And they're going to be right.
 Little fuck-ups like that, and also keep in mind
 what does that fuck up mean?
 That fuckup means there's something
 weird with the collision or hitboxes
 in the game. Now, what
 does a fuck-up like a collision box
 fuckup usually mean in video games.
 I know what it means, I play Dark Souls
 too. So
 yeah, when I see that happen with
 one NPC, I think to myself
 oh fuck
 Oh I think to myself, oh fuck.
 Uh-oh. Oh.
 Oh. Oh. so minor thing. Pop it.
 Minor thing, this is an opinion not a criticism really
 I think that the game would be better if the rat was illuminated more rather than having a spirit lead you to where to go?
 I think that would be more immersive, personally.
 Little thing.
 Like its feet were, like it's footprints
 were lit up or something. Okay, Ocarina of Time.
 That's fine. This is totally good, okay.
 At that point it isn't... Did it? I'm just not...
 At that point, isn't it picking?
 Oh.
 It's very dumb.
 I will catch a chill!
 ... You sneak! I would have smacked your aura from here, were my sights not drowned in brine.
 I am the witch Verminia. Enchanté.
 May you grant us some color...
 and learn some taste, besides.
 Okay? now what? Oh, Envoy. And I guess that's one of the people you can go into the...
 Oaths Received Draft of Drought. Okay that's a cool name I like that So she's like her spirit is probably going to be another like astral realm i'm assuming Same. Same, man.
 You see?
 Like that's a really cool idea.
 Like it is!
 It's a really cool idea and this
 why I'm so critical of this, is that it's a really
 cool tech and everything. It is, yeah,
 I think it is.
 But it's just
 done so haphazardly.
 It's like an a for innovation or like an idea of like that mechanic and like a d
 for impli like implementation execution yeah implementation.
 Execution, yeah. Oh! so so is the lore of this that...
 Like, it made him go forward in time? Is that what happened?
 No.
 It might be, because that was part of the other mechanics in the game.
 I don't know. Yeah. Okay. uh ready hey so Yeah, I'm really...
 We're going to go back.
 I want to let him...
 So, I think Joe is going
 to go introduce you guys to Verminia.
 Yes, the girl right here.
 Where she will provide another progression path.
 So Verminia is our sort of master colors and elixirs. There would be nest enough for all.
 Hmm, hardly better. How am I meant to brew my hues in this washed out puddle?
 I know not.
 Lest the envoy brings us a nibble?
 So, this is a final implementation, but we just wanted to give you guys an impression
 of the kind of customization that you'll be able to do.
 We could just eat you up!
 The puppets approve.
 Your aura is showing.
 This is what they spent their time on.
 Why would you... like this game is probably my biggest example that I've ever heard of
 misplaced priorities.
 You're focused on the animations of a rat petting a dog.
 Having NPC react to the fact that the character's naked.
 What the fuck?
 What about the game?
 Nobody's even going to care
 About this if the game is bad
 How could you do this?
 NPC has 10 times
 Yeah, this NPC has 10 times... Yeah, the end- This NPC
 has more animations than the boss does.
 I disagree. I think the combat's bad but people
 work on different things so they can't make only the combat and then make everything else afterwards
 well you're right that's a good point what i'm saying is
 that the combat in this game and the way that they invested into
 this is wrong.
 Like, the priorities
 for this game are
 observably wrong.
 The rat having better
 animations than the boss
 is bad. I don't
 care, what is the reason
 can i divine the intentions
 behind the development studio
 to know what their
 reasoning for this was and who
 actually was working on The Rat. I don't
 care about that. All I care
 about is I look at the game and I see the rat
 that has a better animation than the boss,
 and I think to myself, what the fuck are they doing?
 That's
 what I'm thinking.
 Uh... That's what I'm thinking. Now this
 next one, I don't think anyone would
 purposely do it but we were
 just curious about a certain DE
 employee who played Soulframe We wanted to see how verminia might feel about that Yes! This is so you.
 Okay...
 Oh, Envoy. There you go. My puppets have wished me good luck.
 By the way this character design is very good. I like her character design it's great. How you say? Something unsavory
 They squeak of red moaning
 in the coral glen
 Of saccharine odors that waft from his den. His bell tolls, its echoes taste faintly of black,
 Of torn parts
 Of blood marks
 Of drip Drink Drink of 3, 3,
 3,
 7.
 I'm gonna be honest,
 I think that the focus that a lot of developers have to try to recreate
 the esoteric, abstract
 like weird
 language of
 from software game
 dialogue is very often lost
 and not done properly.
 I think that probably the only
 time that I've seen it done properly
 was with Blasphemous.
 That's the only game that I think has copied it and done it the right way. This, I just think is a poor imitation. Yeah, good for Joe.
 I really think this is awful.
 I do.
 I think it's absolutely awful. We we're gonna look at the combat again just walks around them I'm going to go back. Give me a minute. Why?
 Why?
 I don't understand why you would do this.
 It just doesn't make sense to me. look at this like look at the
 hit reg and everything
 remember what I said before?
 Like people saying nitpicking.
 Laggy, too. uh laggy too yeah Also, how is it a good idea to not have a lock on when you have to aim your spells at the target and then to have a bunch of ground debris that actively
 obscures the vision of your character
 looking at the direction of the NPC
 they're trying to hit. Like, that's
 just a recipe for frustration.
 I'd frustration i i why would you do that
 8 55 yeah yeah I also think that if they're trying to do... Like, my understanding with Soul Frame,
 understanding with it is that
 it changes time.
 I think that if that's
 what they're trying to do in this, they should
 make his armor... If his armor is copper,
 it should turn green or something, or have
 green tinge so people understand what's happening
 because I don't even understand
 why this happened or anything
 bows and souls games are always shit
 okay, well let's go back. We're going to look at this
 again, okay?
 ... jesus
 who asked for this
 the so so scabber
 doesn't make sense. Let's go back to this one again. This is a backstab, by the way.... put everything together.
 Put all of these issues together
 and you know what you make? issues together.
 And you know what you make? You make a bad game.
 These details matter a lot, they do. It just... The backstab doesn't backstab.
 Right? It just, the backstab doesn't backstab. And why would this happen?
 ... Why? I...
 Every attack makes you...
 Why?
 And even if you look like it, it worse, right? It says 12. Right?
 He took more damage maybe that's their level
 Does he show the damage? Yeah, no. It's something else.
 That was the only part of that that was kind of good and And even that wasn't good, it was just
 kind of good.
 One more... one more
 the Follow me!
 PENETRATURE!
 Call me Sulfurance!
 It doesn't even make sense. There's a reverberation, then they're sister it happens afterwards why
 look at this! Wait a second. If Frayne skips too... Let me go back so I can show you that.
 Do you see how the camera skips? This is terrible.
 It's the shake?
 I think, yeah you're right. Yeah, this is absolutely terrible.
 I... This showcases this showcase was abysmal worst camera stick I've seen
 to date
 it's just
 is it alpha
 here's why I'm concerned. Okay, it's that
 I watched new gameplay of this game
 over a year ago, it causes you to spot the ways that it's inaccurate.
 The first thing...
 So, if you want to tell me that, oh it's it's alpha it's beta okay sure but don't you find it concerning
 that within 10 months somehow it's gotten worse?
 That's really worrying.
 Holy shit, this is
 awful.
 What are people saying about
 this in the comments? I want to play
 it. This seems interesting.
 No, I'm interesting. The combat will kill this game before it ever launches.
 Thank you.
 Thank you.
 Oh, Thank you. Holy shit!
 Refresh the comments? No, I don't really
 want to because I think that all of that's going to be my
 viewers talking about it.
 And because I'm watching the video myself
 right now.
 Yeah, but they're going to sponsor streamers to play
 so I think they'll be okay. like immortals of avenum did and all
 these other like the avengers game did you can't sponsor streamers to play a game and then make
 the game good lyric got sponsored to play Concord. Is everybody playing
 Concord now? No, because that's
 not the way marketing works.
 Anybody knows that you can market
 a turd but that doesn't mean people are going
 to one day decide To think it's chocolate
 Because enough people say it's chocolate
 That's not how it works
 It's just
 You can't just sponsor
 People like the game has to be good.
 Eventually, if Lyric or
 Summit or me is playing
 the game on a sponsor and people see
 this on the screen, they're going to say
 this is bad. I don't want
 to play this. It looks like shit.
 Why am I
 even playing this? Oh it's a sponsor. Okay good
 I'll be back when it's over.
 This is terrible.
 It's genuinely awful
 like I
 It's actually shocking to me
 how bad this is
 How does this even happen
 compare this with warframe gameplay i don't know it feels like they went
 with hellblade route where they prioritize artistry more than the core gameplay loop.
 Well, great! If you want to prioritize artistry and everything like that, that's fine.
 But how is Hellblade doing right now?
 Let's take a look and see how Hellblade is doing.
 Fifty seconds 57 people are playing the game, and the highest peak was less than 4,000 people.
 It's a dead fucking game!
 So yes, you can go
 and make an artsy game
 for modern audiences, but
 guess what? They're not real.
 It's obvious they're not real.
 That's not the way it works. People want to play a game like this. What do you think the overlap is between people that are your audience for this game and people who think Elden Ring is the best game that came out last year? I bet that's a fucking circle if it's
 a Venn diagram. That's a pretty
 goddamn close to a circle.
 What are you thinking?
 This is unbelievable. What do you...
 This is unbelievable.
 Why are so many new games bad nowadays?
 I don't know,
 but it's just the way it is.
 The spot with the five guys and look at the roll.
 The model actually rolls in an impossible way.
 It's wild.
 The five guys...
 Yeah, sure, let me see if I can pull that up.
 And I want to let you guys know that
 I'm talking about this, and some people are going
 to get mad at me because they're gonna say
 oh it's just in beta. It's not
 ready yet. You know, don't be
 nitpicking everything like that.
 I want to promise you
 I will promise you
 that when this game comes out, if it plays anything near like this,
 This game will be dead and it will be considered garbage by everybody.
 This is absolute
 trash, and if they release this
 all they're doing is
 wasting their time and money.
 They have a successful live service game, which
 is Warframe, that has an audience
 that is dedicated enough to
 show up to a convention to celebrate
 their game. The fact that they are
 delivering a less than below minimum quality souls like in 2024, almost 2025 when this comes out is unacceptable.
 They have no excuse to do this.
 It's sad, it is.
 Mortal Shell-like? No, Mortal Shell was better.
 Elden Ring raised the bar? No, this
 is worse than Dark Souls 1.
 It's meant to be a souls-like?
 It absolutely is.
 It has the same mechanics,
 it's got an Estus flask,
 all of these games...
 And also, by the way,
 being a Souls-like game,
 Dark Souls games
 are fundamentally just action combat games.
 So
 like, a game being
 Souls-like or not doesn't have anything
 to do with hitbox boxes, hit registration, things
 like that. Souls-like is different.
 Another crab's treasure
 is better than this? Well, not only is it better,
 it's way better.
 Should we name it Soulless? Good one.
 Yeah, I really think this
 Inotria is better than this shit.
 Inotria is way better than this.
 It's not even close
 yeah i just better in every aspect yes you do is overrated warframe gameplay isn't good either. I don't know. I've never played the
 game, right? I'm interested in playing the game. I just
 haven't done it myself.
 But like look at... What the fuck is this?
 Just a minute. yeah like i'm i think this really explains
 like
 just a minute let me watch that again. um
 no never mind
 I thought it like did the new world
 uh desync thing but it didn't.
 This is very similar to how Warframe plays?
 Well this is the new game, it shouldn't play just as same as the old game
 It should be better right?
 That's just me. Right? I mean like no its not
 well lets say it is. Like i don't want to argue about this and yeah even if that's
 there's no excuse for it, right?
 Does not?
 That's one of the guys wrong?
 Okay, fine.
 Fine, fine, fine, fine.
 I don't know.
 I haven't seen it.
 Well, either way,
 this is the way
 I feel about it.
 Obviously, I know that this game and this studio has a lot of fans.
 A lot of people like it.
 But when I see this game,
 I think this game is like fucking exhibit number one of misplaced priorities and honestly just
 misplace priorities i'm looking at this UI and this UI is all
 artsy and you can move over and it
 will show the, all of this stuff
 like what do you, who's
 like when you were designing
 and figuring out like who to hire for this game, where to put resources...
 Why was there so much resources put into petting dogs and rat animations and UI?
 And the combat looks like an
 Unreal 5 tech demo.
 What were you
 thinking?
 They have different games that work on things at the same time?
 Well, whatever their combat team is they need to take some of the people off
 of the fucking UI team. You know you don't need
 that many of those people and then you need to bring those people or
 somebody else instead into the combat
 team. That's what you need to do
 because this combat is unacceptable.
 It's garbage. It's bad.
 The only people that think this is
 good are on massive
 fucking copium.
 Huge copium, amazing
 copium.
 Yeah they're just going through the tutorial. Maybe just maybe they make some money in process of course right?
 But the dev team is busy playing The First Ascendant.
 Yeah and you know what?
 The first ascendent plays way better.
 The dev team is mostly women, I believe.
 That doesn't matter.
 There's plenty of women that make good games.
 It's not like women are bad and they can't make games.
 That's stupid. There's plenty of girls that make games. That's stupid.
 There's plenty of girls that make games. It's not a big deal.
 And also, I'm sure there's also
 a lot of stupid guys that make games
 too. It's got nothing to do
 with being a girl.
 I don't even know that,
 I don't know, maybe you looked it up,
 I have no idea.
 Can't wait until Monster Hunter comes out?
 Yeah, like what is this?
 Realizing your vision?
 That's what they've been saying?
 Yeah.
 It's just...
 Yeah, I can't stand
 when people blame DEI for everything.
 I mean, I don't care about why if it's because of D. It's not my responsibility
 as a consumer to care about why it's bad.
 I don't care is it DEI,
 Is that some type of other thing at the end of the day?
 It's bad and that's the only thing that matters like i don't
 like they can figure out the reasoning for it after the fact
 not saying it's dei women just do different things than men no no, no. There are any...
 I guarantee you if you showed this to any girl that plays
 those girls that do dance pad runs of Elden Ring,
 I bet they're going to see this and say that doesn't look very good.
 Yeah, no.
 Go ask them right now
 if it doesn't look very good. You know why?
 Because it's bad.
 What are you trying to do
 I don't know why people
 get upset when you give your opinion about this
 we all know nothing will ever match Elden Ring
 we all know that you will talk about it and rake it for content
 but like
 just because something doesn't match
 there are a lot of games that I think
 match Elden Ring in
 maybe not match, but
 they're very close. So
 I'll go through some examples of games that I think the combat and gameplay is close to Elden Ring.
 And these are not going to be, we're not gonna cheat by saying Armored Core.
 Let's see here... what do we have?
 Code Vein is better than this uh let's
 see we'll scroll down see if i can find some more of these
 uh death must die is better than us in terms
 of movement dragon's dogma 2 is better than this i terms of movement. Dragon's Dogma 2 is better than this.
 I'd say Dragon's Dogma 1 is
 better than this. Enshrouded
 is better than this. The First Descendant
 is better than this.
 Granblue Fantasy Relink is better than this. Grand Blue Fantasy Relink is better than this
 Let's see, what else
 do we have?
 Hmm
 I'm looking for another game that's similar to this
 Lies of P
 Yeah, Lies of P is better
 than this.
 Monster Hunter obviously
 is better than this.
 Mordow, for what I've seen,
 is better than this. No Rest for the W seen is better than this.
 No Rest for the Wicked is better than this. Once Human
 is better than this.
 Pow World is better than this.
 Okay, you can beat one of them.
 Alright? It's better than Pax Day
 to be fair. Remnant 1 and remnant 2 are
 better than this.
 Soulbound is better than this, not soul bound... what was it? Soulmask
 excuse me. Soulmask
 is better than this what's the rest of these yeah a wayfinder
 better than this too every single one of those games is a stronger better competitor soul mass sucked
 the combat in soul mask was not good but it was better than this
 jedi survivor absolutely was better than this. Jedi Survivor?
 Absolutely.
 Stellar Blade blows it out of the
 fucking water.
 Sorry, guys.
 That's the way I feel about it.
 Is it worse than Dark Souls 2?
 Is this combat worse than Dark Souls 2?
 Hot take.
 Yes, and it's not even close.
 It's not even remotely close.
 Like you take the most janky
 boss, Sir Allone
 fucking stabbing you from
 six feet away? Infinitely
 better than this.
 It's not even close.
 Dark Souls Clear is... it's not even close that's those clears i and i hate dark souls too and it's still better than this yeah i'm sorry
 i just hope that you know if the devs are watching this and they end up seeing what i'm saying
 if you guys release the game like this you wasted all of your time and money
 everybody will say this is garbage.
 Just don't release... Like, I would say
 don't release the game
 if you can't make this better
 because don't damage
 your reputation.
 Just trash it.
 There it is.
 The game isn't releasing, though?
 It's literally in testing?
 Man.
 Man. Man.
 This is from 2023
 Man They need to keep testing it then.
 Let's be honest, okay?
 That's generally the way I see about
 it and
 I'm going to be honest. It's sad to see
 where fantastic community really fucking care. I hope they take the criticism?
 Yeah, I mean
 I'm really trying to be serious about this
 I-I'm not trying to be mean or like destructive
 Or anything like that
 I'm really trying to give like actual feedback about this.
 So yeah.
 There it is.
 This 2024 gameplay? Yeah.
 Put it back in the oven absolutely
 the preludes build i have access to doesn't play like this today's bill was
 scuffed and i'm not sure why or how it happened but it did
 yeah well hopefully they can uh hopefully
 they can set the record straight.
 So we've got somebody here.
 I saw this before.
 Concord. Concord.
 The game that keeps on not giving
 is now down to...
 Let's see how many people are playing it now.
 Concord, where is it? Let's see if I can find
 it. There we go. How many people are
 playing it now? A thousand
 people. So generally
 with any good game that comes out
 on the weekend,
 the player base numbers
 will at least stay
 the same or kind of go up.
 You can see right
 and this games actually
 this is past its release week.
 This is the third release weekend and it's still hitting a higher peak on Sunday
 like Once Human is than Concord is three days after release.
 A thousand people playing
 on Sunday.
 That's really bad.
 Check the first descendant?
 Sure, I already had it open.
 Look at that. There's more people
 playing on Sunday. What a
 surprise. So there
 you go, and uh...that's normally
 the player behavior on Steam
 And so, I just want you to know it's Saturday.
 It's Saturday,
 guys. Um, that's right.
 So yeah, I thought it was sunday it turns out it's not
 it's actually saturday so that i didn't know that uh that's crazy anyway um
 there could yeah yeah of course. And so we can't...
 Right, so it's going to go up even more
 once humans possible fuck-up?
 Yeah, and even once human fucked-up a lot, right?
 So it's worse.
 Yeah, it's even worse.
 It's worse than I even thought.
 So what I'm looking at here is that uh oh like concord let's be realistic for a moment
 this seems to be way too small of an audience for the game to succeed why does nobody look
 at console numbers as well it doesn't matter it, it's too small now. I think this game
 is already dead. The games biggest enemy is cynicism, its also sad
 we live in a world where one of the most popular game launches of all time is Pow World which looks
 like stolen assets.
 Do you want to know why that happens?
 It's because the game plays well.
 PowWorld plays well.
 See, all these people have been hoodwinked by gaming journalists
 into thinking that cinematic quality
 cares or people care about
 cinematic quality and cinematic quality
 matters. It doesn't. You want to know what
 matters? The minute-to-minute, the
 second-to-second, the moment-to
 moment gameplay. That's what
 matters. Everything else doesn't mean
 shit. So if you talk about
 the way the character's mouth moves
 nobody gives a fuck about that! Who cares?
 What?!
 What are you talking about?
 Who decided this matter, to you? No, to anybody.
 And here I can prove it.
 Let's look at all of the games that have really good
 mouth movements and then all of the games
 that have really good gameplay. And let's see
 which one trends to
 more people playing it! I fucking
 wonder. People play
 video games because they want to
 PLAY THE VIDEO GAME! If they wanted to play the video game.
 If they wanted to see mouth movements,
 they'd be watching a fucking movie.
 Now there are convergences.
 Baldur's Gate 3.
 But keep in mind
 that gameplay for that was also S tier.
 So keep it in mind!
 There's one crashing out- I'm losing my fucking mind because this is what's... This is what's happened.
 Is that gaming journalists
 and gaming news
 publications,
 And the press and media around gaming
 has created a false narrative.
 A false god
 that these different studios are fucking they're they're they're worshiping this god of realism of motion capture of uh you know of this fluidity
 stuff. This bullshit!
 This stupid
 fucking irrelevant
 garbage! Nobody
 cares about the way
 the character looks
 if it's fucking ugly.
 Why the fuck would you make
 an ugly character?
 Why the fuck would you worry
 about the character's mouth movements
 when the gameplay sucks dick!
 What are you thinking? It's
 insane. And so, you see
 another game like Concord
 that's prioritized around giving pronouns
 to a fucking robot and then you see the gameplay
 and it looks like a shitty version of Overwatch.
 And yeah I don't think so! I don't think being white or hot is wrong here
 One of the main characters is literally Vacuum. Overwatch had a gorilla
 and was successful. You want to know what the difference
 with Overwatch and Concord is?
 Is that Overwatch also had
 Mercy and Widowmaker. That's
 the fucking difference. A vacuum?
 Nobody wants to play as that. Get the
 fuck out of here. This is insane
 at Tracer, yes. What are we
 even talking about? So
 I see this shit happen and it makes me so fucking
 annoyed because a lot of
 these people that act like they're in the
 gaming media
 have no fucking idea what
 actual people that play games wanna see.
 They have no clue about it!
 They're focusing on this, just these
 pointless pieces of shit
 like petting a rat?
 Get the fuck out- are you kidding me?! Are you fucking kidding
 me?! Petting a fucking rat?!
 Just give me a minute. It's outrageous.
 It's ridiculous.
 It's crazy.
 And...
 I'm mad because these people,
 these people
 are making games
 and they're driving a direction of games that is not about
 games it's about trying to pretend like they're Hollywood.
 And I'm so fucking tired of it.
 I'm so exhausted.
 So fucking annoying.
 The only person who can do that is Kojima,
 and they're not Kojima.
 You know how old Kojima was when he made Metal Gear Solid? He's like 23.
 You're not doing that. Put it the fuck down. Make a good game.
 Overwatch, bad
 game? Yeah! It's
 insane.
 Chill... I'm losing my fucking mind.
 Look at the new Overwatch characters.
 They still know what makes their wheels turn?
 Yeah, we'll see what happens, right?
 Lockstar's gonna do that?
 Yeah, sometimes they can't.
 But like here's the thing.
 Sure bro, yeah
 I'm getting really annoyed by this man
 I keep seeing this bullshit
 and like this guy feels derivative
 I think that having ugly
 characters is a huge factor.
 It is, because think about how like...
 So having OnlyFans girls cosplay your character
 Is like massive free marketing
 That for example Resident Evil Village got.
 They got a lot of that marketing. Like I didn't hear it like you think
 I would have given a fuck about that game? No! But they had
 a hot character with big boobs that was really tall
 and sticks out as vampire, it's like some vampire
 and everybody's like oh yeah this is great
 so you have every person out there cosplaying
 talking about it. So yes
 big fucking surprise whenever you introduce
 a bunch of random weird looking characters nobody characters, nobody's gonna wanna be them.
 What a fucking surprise! Who the fuck wants to look like somebody that just came out of a Walmart?
 I've been to a Walmart. I fit right in.
 There's a reason...I'm playing a video game, I don't want to be
 looking at a mirror. Who the fuck thought this was gonna- it's embarrassing
 Concord what a joke
 Jesus Jesus.
 Imagine saying it's not successful because race is attracting us then you see Lethal Company, what the fuck?
 It's a factor. It IS a factor.
 It's not the only factor, but it does...
 ...it does factor in.
 Absolutely it does.
 It's naive to say otherwise.
 I saw this before. I don't know if this is really true apparently google doesn't show trump in their search algorithm candidate name presidential race 2024
 is that true um so so yeah it's true
 could just be shit Yeah, it's true.
 Could just be shit SEO? Um... I don't know.
 It must be another bug. Stop using Google? It was on page two really wasn't let me see
 no it wasn't bottom of the first page, that was an ad.
 See it's not there anymore?
 Because it was only showing there as an advertisement.
 Yeah I know what you're talking about. You go back to the VOD and see it's an ad. Look at Bing? Okay, let's look at Bing.
 One second... wait a second um let me see i don't even know how this works okay Okay. All right, so we've got him.
 So Donald Trump presidential race.
 Here we go.
 And it's looking like there's nothing really here. New York Times, Five Thirty Eight, The Economist, NBC, New York Times. So it's not showing his Web site. So I thought to myself, hmm, maybe
 it was just SEO.
 But here's what's interesting.
 The same thing is true actually for Joe Biden
 also.
 So it doesn't show either of their websites.
 Fair and balanced, yeah they censor everybody.
 Well there you go, that's fine.
 Yeah, Microsoft, I guess
 so. DuckDuckGo? Well, I don't know.
 I could look on there too. What's missing?
 Joe Biden is the first result for me.
 Trump has lasted the first page.
 Search Donald Trump campaign.
 Okay, sure.
 Joe Biden campaign there There it is.
 Donald Trump campaign
 I'm such an idiot, I spelled that wrong?
 Yep right there. Let's try it on this
 okay okay i think honestly this is just seo i'm gonna be honest
 i i think it's just SEO after
 researching this and looking at it more
 yeah, it's just SEO
 I don't think that maybe
 like maybe it's some sort
 of censorship
 no, yeah I'm not seeing it Maybe it's some sort of censorship.
 No, yeah I'm not seeing it.
 Google search is also really bad.
 SEO equals Search Engine Optimization
 which means that certain types of keyword phrases are higher priority for different reasons.
 So what that means is that it's not Google That's doing this
 Intentionally
 It's just that this has happened as
 An outcome of something that's related
 To the algorithm
 Do you see what I'm saying?
 Because like, where does the logic and like if you want to censor donald trump
 but you're only censoring this one term like it's just you don't have enough
 information there there's not enough points on the graph.
 Yeah, that-that's really what I'm saying.
 Cause like originally, like I'm the kind of person...like I distrust Google massively
 but there isn't enough here
 to prove that Google did anything bad.
 SEO is the linchpin
 to facilitate censorship just because a method
 is indirect and obscure, it doesn't reduce my suspicion that some degree of control has been applied.
 You can have that opinion, but you need to acknowledge
 that that opinion is based off of your prior information
 and not an accurate evaluation of what you're looking at
 you can think that even though i don't see it i still think it's there you have every right to
 have that opinion but don't expect everybody else
 to get behind it and agree with you
 because it is really like
 a conspiracy theory.
 It is.
 There's not enough evidence for it.
 There's not enough proof.
 I get it, yeah. mean sure but like don't expect other people
 to let go and be like yeah this is what i believe in right i agree with you
 why aren't you more mad at these right wing sites
 being disingenuous
 when am I not
 so
 so
 I want to see
 what are you upset about now?
 What are you mad? Why are you mad?
 Well, I want to know.
 We got to get to the bottom of this.
 No, you're on the stream now.
 You did this
 to yourself.
 So what do you i'm not well then what's your concern what's the concern? I'm just saying you weren't more mad because
 You're a lot more critical of left-wing things
 That's what I thought you were going to say
 Okay gonna say. Give me a minute.
 Did you watch the show
 yesterday?
 No. Did you watch the show yesterday? A bit.
 So did you see the part where I said that this RNC
 website, this account was
 being intentionally
 disingenuous with how they were portraying
 what Joe Biden was saying?
 And I said that
 they're doing this and they're
 making themselves look like stupid assholes
 and that they're wrong?
 Do you remember me
 saying that yesterday, and I directly criticized them?
 After originally thinking it was true, then I watched the entire video for myself
 And then I criticized them.
 Do you remember that? That was literally yesterday.
 Sorry if I didn't, if you said so I retract my yesterday. Sorry, I didn't if you said so.
 I retract my statement. Yeah for sure and on top of that I also even talked about the hat
 remember that hat that was um what do you call it where is
 it how did he ever post on Twitter
 the hat that they had posted?
 And also, by the way, Brandon
 saw that and they took the hat down.
 So like
 they might disagree but like they can see where I'm coming from.
 I see where they're coming from too.
 I like them.
 But...
 I criticize everybody and I do it all the time.
 There's never a point where I am being biased
 And if you think where I'm being biased and if you think that I'm
 being biased
 I want you to call it out
 but I at least want you to kind of
 make sure that you're right
 You need to like, I think you should absolutely call it out if i'm being biased or something like that, go
 ahead but no i'm not doing that and i do my best to avoid doing that. With evidence, yes
 exactly. The first
 ascendant changes? Yeah, I might look at that off-screen
 I'm not sure...I might have actually seen it
 yesterday. But yeah
 Before that there were Fox News report too the shooter
 may have played that one video game oh you're right
 I did criticize that too
 no I have no intention of trying to
 provide any degree of like
 one-sided favoritism or anything
 like that.
 Yeah, I really strongly try
 to avoid that. So this has been
 a very big thing.
 I don't know how the left wing people have thought that this was a good idea to push of having people that are biologically men playing in women's sports, this was the, I think this Was a big turning point. This is a massive turning
 Point because if you look at
 The way that people look at
 This, the overwhelming
 Majority 70% plus probably even more than that. I saw 70%.
 Think that this is wrong.
 The fact that
 Leftwing was trying to push this
 is insane and I think
 it alienated so many people and it's alienated so many people.
 It's made it to where men aren't going to play in women's sports,
 this gets over 100 thousand likes and everybody is agreeing with this.
 Every single person is agreeing with this.
 This was such a huge mistake for them to push.
 Massive fucking mistake.
 It's very wrong, it's very easy
 to agree with, yeah. And they've written themselves
 into a corner with this and it's become
 so unreasonable that even people
 that are kind of neutral see it and they just say,
 this is insane. No, of course not! We're all supposed to feel ashamed
 for thinking this. Yes, I want to let people know...
 Let me show you
 see if i can find it.
 Yeah. So here we go, and this is just one opinion poll that I can find.
 So American views on transgender athletes 2021 versus 2023 you're seeing that there is even
 a bigger shift away from it so this is 20 21 62 of people and this is in 2021
 even then
 people were wildly against
 this. Now it's only
 26%. And also
 like a lot of those people,
 and I'm pretty sure probably on both sides don't really understand it all
 that well.
 No shots from the city.
 Yes.
 And so this is what's happened.
 This has been such a huge fucking mistake for them to push.
 And I think it alienated so many people.
 What it reminds me of a lot is how Republicans used
 to be against smoking weed.
 It was such a stupid unnecessary completely unneeded l that you're
 forcing yourself into taking every single time they still are
 they are way less about it. Like hey guys I get that
 there's still pushing yeah
 you didn't grow up in the 2000s
 In the 2000s
 That was like on the fucking campaign
 posters. It was huge so yes they've toned it down by like 10x
 as a situation was iconic.
 It was, so I just want you guys to know that I can't believe
 that they...
 How do you strategically give, how do you give him
 such an easy W? How do you do that?
 What a fucking mistake. Maybe when science gets advanced
 enough then it could be otherwise. Oh, it will be.
 Oh, absolutely.
 You're going to have gene editing and therapy
 and all that kind of stuff.
 Absolutely.
 They'll be able to change your chromosomes.
 They'll be able to change everything about you.
 Absolutely.
 Yeah.
 Now, it's not going to happen tomorrow
 and it's not that way right now
 We abandoned Assange chat for saying people went too far?
 Yeah they did, they went way too far with this
 and I think
 this is a massive backlash
 and you're seeing
 that again
 you can just look
 at the polls
 this is a
 according to Twitter
 because people feel like they can't express views like this.
 According to Twitter, this is probably seemingly 50-50 or that more
 people are okay with it. I want you guys know this is absolutely not true.
 If you look at any objective opinion poll
 about this, it is a vast
 tiny fraction
 of the amount of actual people that believe in this.
 Can we do that already? Yeah for sure. This can do that already? Yeah, for sure.
 This won't be heard? Yeah.
 You can do it already?
 You can treat genetic
 diseases from the baby's
 interstitial? I'm not sure about all of the details, right?
 But like all I am really trying to get at is that obviously
 the technology any sort of shortcomings
 that they think surgeries
 to change gender have now
 those shortcomings will be removed in the future.
 They absolutely
 will because science advances and
 of course it will like it's stupid
 to think that that's oh that's the only thing that's not
 going to advance like Like what the fuck,
 cat girl soon?
 Yeah, of course.
 Yeah, and that's
 what I'm saying.
 So,
 Brian says
 are gene editing?
 Well,
 I just used it as a term. Okay? Like
 I'm not going to try to like get into a fucking
 scientific argument about this.
 Because honestly, I can't. So yeah.
 The problem with people who agree with this is that they're always the ones
 that shout the loudest, so it seems like more people are for it. No, that's not the reason why
 The reason why people allow this to happen is because they're afraid of being
 labeled as a bigot or as a transphobe
 or as some form of bad person and then have
 a group of people that are incredibly ravenous aggressive hostile and abusive
 try to like pile onto them
 and ruin their life
 systematically because this
 person said that yeah you shouldn't be able to
 play women's sports if you're
 biologically a man. Like that's basically it echo chamber yeah and so
 you have a lot of other content creators some people like that don't want to speak out against
 it because they're afraid they're afraid of that backlash.
 But the truth is, they should not be afraid because
 they are the majority and they are the overwhelming
 majority. It's not 51-49
 it's 70-30.
 Keep that in mind.
 It's 100% transphobic.
 You can say whatever you want.
 That's not relevant.
 Bros, right-wing commentator
 now? This is like.001% of athletes?
 So let me...
 What do you have a problem with that I said?
 What do you have a problem with it that i said
 you know why we can lose our jobs for speaking out against these things
 can you show us how many times it's happened? It almost never
 happened. It is extremely rare, it absolutely is. You are
 completely right.
 No, you're totally right. Absolutely.
 Yeah no 100%. I agree with you. Do we have any sort of an argument or an explanation for this.
 Hmm
 This is a non-issue, it just serves to dehumanize trans people
 if it's a non-issue
 then why are people making an issue out of it
 think about it like that
 they're the ones who made an issue and if you consider this a problem, now you are the one making an issue out of it? have something that's pushed on to
 you you have something that's told to you
 and then somehow if you say i don't agree with this now you're the one who's
 taking issue with it it's outrageous. That's crazy.
 Yep, no comment as usual.
 I think that's a large issue
 for women getting second place because the man competed.
 I'm saying in general,
 it doesn't matter how often it happens.
 What I'm saying is that if it happens at all
 people don't agree with it.
 It doesn't matter.
 It could have only happened once and if people are saying this is something that
 should be able to happen, it's an ideological difference. It's not about how often or how
 frequent something happens.
 You see what I'm saying?
 What about women playing in men's sports?
 I don't know, it depends on what it is, I have no idea
 I don't think the guy deserved to be banned
 for calling me a right-wing commenter and saying that
 i'm wrong about something. I think absolutely
 he did. It's not even a question. If somebody
 wants to come in and insult me
 and then say, like make an argument
 against what I'm saying, and then I ask
 them to explain themselves, and they don't do that
 no
 it's not and they don't do that. No!
 Yeah, it's not even a question.
 Like I gave him
 time to explain what he was thinking.
 Yeah absolutely did yeah, what the fuck?
 Nice people have insane
 takes based off of one comment saying you agree
 with something the right says doesn't make you
 Republican. Well, the reason
 why they do that is because it's a really great way of suppressing people from speaking out against them.
 Because you don't want to be labeled this because there are other things these people believe that are bad
 So what we're going to do is call you this name,
 and if you say anything
 that's bad, we're just gonna use
 this word on you,
 and now you have to pull back because
 you're afraid of being labeled this because this is a bad thing.
 That's the reason why, it's obvious fear
 yeah, it's just a fear tactic
 Yeah
 Truth or Dare wouldn't be enough time for me to type,
 I can only type with one hand? Okay.
 Ideally would you want chat that did not challenge
 you? I think that people bringing
 up points that try to advance the conversation
 Is really helpful and very useful
 And i think it's good
 But a lot of times, people bring up
 Points that are either non-sequiturs
 Or they try to argue based off
 of something that's not being said
 or something like that.
 So yeah, no I think
 the chat does definitely help conversations
 like this but at the same time
 sometimes it can be annoying too.
 No I'm pretty fair?
 The gap is pretty huge biologically? Yeah of course.
 I would want chess to be non-gender segregated. It's dumb and it makes women seem less capable mentally.
 Anybody can see that men on average are taller and stronger than women, right? That's just how it is.
 I don't know about chess. I don't fucking know that.
 Yeah, and I have no idea.
 It's not even... yeah, I mean, that's something that i would listen to a scientist for
 sure but men can be wonder woman yeah i don't know
 but um either way let's see i was gonna look at some of this other shit.
 Man!... are kelly is doing concerts in prison So can they have like a,
 they have phones in jail?
 Cause I know sometimes people get phones
 in jail.
 It's from a speaker? Maybe, yeah.
 Uh it's from speakers I'm not seeing. Okay I was about to say bro like that should be crazy
 Is smuggled in? Yeah I heard about that
 Let's see where is the rest of this oh i'll watch this
 here we go And I'm going to say what a lot of these folks aren't saying.
 I'm just going gonna say it.
 That's exactly what I say!
 It is, that-that's really kind of weird. Fuck.
 If you think that there is consensus among the people
 who want Joe Biden
 to leave,
 that they will support
 Vice President Harris?
 You would be mistaken.
 And I'm going to say that because if they're gonna come out and say all their little things on background off the record but
 They're not going to be fully honest.
 I'm going to be honest for them.
 I'm in these rooms.
 I see what they say in conversations.
 A lot of them are not just interested in removing the president.
 They are interested in removing the whole ticket.
 No shit.
 No fucking
 shit, yeah, like who the fuck
 didn't think that was true?
 Yeah, what are you
 talking about? It's not even close.
 Yeah, duh!
 Let me see this...
 Where the fuck is the rest of this?
 Okay.
 And let me go back over here.
 Make more room for Kennedy. There's no way that guy is going to win.
 Like, I know people want him to win and everybody's like
 oh yeah he's gonna be great
 It's not gonna happen guys.
 I'm sorry to say oh did there's is there an update for this
 the Is there an update for this? It should.
 Hickok 45 and the Sun here,
 coming back to you with some more information
 and an update on the YouTube issues that we've
 been facing.
 And you might be watching this on any one of our three channels, you know, the clips
 channel, the Hickok45Talks channel or on the main channel.
 But we've got some news that's better
 than what we brought the last time,
 and it's largely because many of you
 as well as some of our colleagues
 on YouTube, gun makers
 have helped out and we
 have been able to get the attention
 of the right people at YouTube
 and have been in talks with them.
 And I guess the bottom line right now is, even though we've
 basically lost everything from June 18th
 all of our other videos are, all the other videos
 are somewhat jeopardy.
 But we are able to move forward
 We think with you know
 be able to navigate the terms
 of new Terms of Service
 What do you think John? Right because of the new Term of service. What do you think, John? Right, because of
 the new terms of service
 essentially as we kind of explained
 in the bad news video
 the bad news of this
 is that the new terms of service affects a lot of our existing content.
 That's why we had to, you know, none of that has changed.
 That's why we have to take down those videos post June 18th and it's why our videos before that are still
 in jeopardy. Well 12 were removed already
 But the good news part is we now, like Dad said
 at the beginning of this was because of some information and some you
 know some dealings with other people at YouTube we know how to move forward and
 stay compliant under the new guidelines so So, we're going to
 basically... so the videos that
 It's literally a cardboard cutout
 guys it's not Bigfoot
 Who the fuck thought of- you really think
 that bro What the fuck's you guys thinking it's not are removed off of
 channel since june 18th we still have those of course, they're in our archives. Just a target!
 So we'll have to figure out a way to do something
 with those where we can put them back up. That may take some time
 if something happens with any of the other older videos we'll
 do the best we can to try to get those up to compliance and put them back
 up so that as much of those videos is possible.
 There's a lot of brilliance there we don't want to lose.
 Exactly, that's right. For me at least.
 That's right, exactly.
 I think the reason why this probably
 happened, I don't know.
 It could be YouTube just doing it
 but because
 YouTube didn't do it as a response
 to like a mass shooting or something
 like that, my assumption is this probably
 happened because of some degree
 of regulation.
 That's what I'm kind of guessing,
 but I don't know.
 If it else, you'll definitely see bits
 and pieces of them on the... Like regulation in another
 country or something like that, you know?
 But we have again, what was it
 2,700 videos
 posted so it's going to take
 some time
 That also brings us
 to another thing that
 and again, thank everyone so much
 for the support. Yeah. You
 know there would be no good news if it wasn't for us to
 share or if it wasn't for that. Yeah. Um it really was very
 scary we spent my entire adult life
 I was, I think, 22 years old
 when we started this
 Some people might not
 sorry, I apologize because
 some people might not have followed up with this, and this is the second
 video which is a follow-up to the first video.
 So these guys had their channel put in jeopardy
 because they make gun videos
 where they just show guns, and sometimes they get
 sponsored to show a certain gun. And YouTube made
 a policy change that no longer allows
 people to take gun sponsors
 at all, and if you do it
 they will delete the video, and if you do it after
 the guideline deadline, whenever it actually took effect
 that they would ban you for it. So that's what happened
 Basically my entire adult life this has been my career or what we've been doing.
 So it's very scary and so that...it's nice to know that maybe we can still continue
 We just have to be more careful because of the new guidelines.
 But with regards to other platforms
 we do have stuff on Rumble
 that's One of my
 Canned responses a lot of times to people
 That say just go to Rumble
 Like well we were already there and you didn't
 Know so that should tell
 You why maybe it's not the answer.
 I love the honesty, he is completely right.
 Rumble still a very small platform and it's not even remotely because
 the size of YouTube.
 Yeah, no, he's yeah absolutely.
 Now totally right about that. If the whole world went to Rumble
 sure it'd be different.
 The problem is even from a
 Second Amendment perspective
 we feel like what we do here
 in support of the Second Amendment bringing firearms.
 Somebody in chat brought up a good
 point, why couldn't they just delist the videos
 and the countries where there is a regulation?
 That's a very good point. I think
 you're right about that.
 And information and all those things,
 to the masses and trying to hopefully indoctrinate people
 into believing in the Second Amendment
 and being interested in firearms, we don't want to just
 go into obscurity.
 Right now YouTube is
 by far, it's not even close
 it is the biggest video
 sharing platform. It's not even close. yeah and it's not even close
 yeah it's not a problem having your videos posted somewhere
 that they're there you know it's just a matter of where
 is everybody else? Right.
 Potential viewers and...
 It's probably not doing it for regulation,
 just Google gun haters.
 Yeah I think if Google is doing this
 because they think it's the right thing to do
 I think that as I said before in the first video
 i think that google and social media websites enjoy a lot of privileges
 that are afforded to them because they are
 a platform and not a publisher of content. And I think
 that as they make more rules
 as to what content should you
 be able to publish on the platform or not,
 I think that the privileges
 that they enjoy should also be called into question.
 So why is it that you're immune from being sued for copyright infringement when
 you're not responsible for anything that's uploaded, but you're making rules on what
 you can upload all the time
 i think that's a little bit unfair
 i think you should either have
 the accountability and be able to make
 whatever rules you want
 or you should not have the accountability
 and you should let people do what they wanna do.
 And if it's a regulation problem,
 then go ahead and delist it in those channels,
 in those countries. Because
 clearly YouTube gives
 you ads and it serves you videos based off
 of your IP address.
 So yeah, this
 is always the way that it's worked.
 It meant that it It seems unfair to punish people for old videos? I don't know why they're doing
 it that way. I'm just saying in general. A company that size making moral
 choices unlikely? Well what I'm saying is that
 this company enjoys
 a privilege that allows it to
 exist. And I want you guys to understand this
 that if Section 230
 did not exist
 YouTube could not exist.
 Google would be sued out of existence within a day.
 Everything on YouTube almost is copyright infringement in one way or another.
 Google needs that, and I think if Google doesn't have that
 —and I don't think they deserve it to be honest with you—
 I don't think YouTube deserves it
 if they start making a bunch of rules on
 what is and isn't acceptable.
 That's what I think.
 I'm not saying that they shouldn't
 be allowed to make rules but you shouldn't be allowed to make rules, but you shouldn't be allowed to make
 rules and enjoy these privileges.
 It should be one or the other.
 It can't be both. That's not fair.
 Because what I think has happened
 is that these social media websites
 have operated as effectively
 like a government.
 Remember,
 whenever Alex Jones got banned everywhere
 or Andrew Tate got banned everywhere?
 I don't like that. I think that's too much power for
 a group of companies like that to have
 especially because they
 have no accountability at all
 Like the government, at least you can vote somebody out. You can't do anything.
 Keep in mind, we got rid of
 slavery in the 1860s.
 There's a whole war and everything
 about it. Well these companies now
 are still using slavery.
 So the companies
 are really not accountable to anybody.
 They just make money and that's it.
 Basically having cake and eating too?
 Yeah, exactly.
 Yeah, we can't share every little detail but there's the compliance issue obviously
 that's the thing with the new terms of service.
 Yeah.
 And there are ways to navigate it and be in compliance
 that we feel pretty confident about now
 after having long discussions with some folks at YouTube, Google. And we feel
 a lot better about that. The thing we're forgetting to share with them?
 I mean, I do too want to thank our sponsors for BUDS, South or Central,
 Alabama Holster, SDI, you know the
 Storn Desert Institute, Ballastol
 Talon Grips for their patience
 through this and we greatly appreciate that
 And I hope you all do, please let our supporters know
 that you support us and really appreciate them so...
 And again, we appreciate you guys
 watching so immensely.
 First of all, none of this is possible
 at all, at any point
 without you guys. It's actually crazy
 how big this channel is, like they have 7 million
 subscribers for like comparison
 my main Twitch channel only has 3.5
 million and my YouTube has like 2.5 or something
 like that million. This channel is fucking massive
 I have no idea
 Oh This channel's fucking massive. I have no idea.
 Oh, I wouldn't even do this if nobody watched it. It's crazy! It wouldn't be that fun.
 If you were just here, it'd be boring.
 Yeah, yeah. It would not be that fun if I don't watch.
 But in the future
 again
 our ability to continue
 is largely
 thanks to you guys
 and let's not forget
 our peers in this
 other gun YouTubers have really come through for us as well,
 which they exist because of a lot of you as well.
 So we really appreciate that a lot
 and talking about the alternate
 platforms, I like that people
 are doing that.
 I feel like I'm put in a position
 sometimes where I have to say...
 A monopoly is bad for everybody.
 It's bad for consumers.
 It's bad for creators.
 It's bad for other people in the space.
 Uh, it's better if there are more platforms
 that you can put your ideas out on
 because competition...
 I am a big advocate.
 I am a free market advocate and I think competition breeds excellence
 and if you have one group
 with there's only one kid on the block
 it's going to cause a lot of problems.
 Monopolies are bad.
 I love the idea.
 It would be great to see that be successful.
 Think about how bad WoW was.
 Think about how bad WoW was. Think about how bad WoW was and then new MMOs came out,
 And suddenly now WoW is all better.
 They should get actual jobs earning money off social media isn't a human right?
 Gun content isn't fucking disgusting guns kill
 people okay yeah for sure man we'll make
 sure to take your meds i think you might
 be late
 important to understand again don't
 forget youtube is a massive...
 it is massive. People care about you man!
 And it's unfortunate that some of the policies
 they have make it difficult,
 but it's still the best place
 to be if you are a video creator.
 And then again, second amendment
 we want to be in front
 of people who don't necessarily support our rights, right?
 Because we don't always wanna be preaching to the choir.
 I think we've made a lot of new gun owners over the years
 and I don't think that we would do that if it was on a platform
 that only gun guys were looking at it's not well it's the reason you all are on youtube right the
 reason you've been on youtube for a good while probably. View videos,
 a lot of you create videos.
 It is a great platform.
 It's just a matter
 of navigating
 the terms of service
 that have
 a tendency to evolve, right?
 And then things aren't necessarily grandfathered in.
 Right.
 That's what we deal with.
 Yeah just try and bear it with us right now
 if some videos disappear um right you know uh like i said again there's all of course the
 ones we made in like last month or so try to get those back up in some way yeah
 you know we basically have
 no videos right now
 a couple you know
 I mean so
 we're getting
 cranked back up
 and
 Oh they got
 a good amount
 of videos
 what do you mean? I guess maybe they're talking Oh, they got a good amount of videos.
 What do you mean?
 I guess maybe they're talking about something else.
 Demolition Ranch has very good explanation video with the new firearm rules.
 Yeah, I'm just saying.
 I haven't seen that before.
 Well yeah, another thing
 we should probably mention is
 we have some videos
 that are now in violation of these new I get what you're saying. you know, do some guns. People getting in fights about guns
 don't kill people, people kill people? Yeah
 people kill each other with guns, absolutely
 and guns make it easier to kill people
 and guaranteed if somebody's got a gun
 versus somebody's got a knife and you've got a crowd of people,
 you're going to kill more people with a gun. That's just a fact.
 But guess what?
 That's the risk you take.
 That's right.
 That's the risk you take.
 You are absolutely right. More's the risk you take it that yet, you are absolutely right more guns will mean
 that people there's a higher chance somebody
 could go on a shooting rampage. Absolutely
 and that's a risk that we take haven't seen yet some things like
 that, so bear with us
 and hopefully you can do that
 so we can get through this
 but it's unfortunate
 but I think
 it might be okay.
 I'll tell you the hardest thing that I hate is,
 you know these older videos have been out for five, 10
 whatever years.
 So much that we've put into those and when you go back
 it's so sad, there are certain videos I don't really
 So my in chat says imagine supporting school shootings
 ... Bro, you are in the wrong place to try to morally grandstand.
 Nobody gives a shit about the
 you know,
 the optics of saying something like that
 here.
 Like,
 that doesn't work.
 You're in the wrong place.
 It's not Twitter.
 Some of them will pop up
 and one of my very favorite guns, maybe it was
 an anniversary of a particular rifle
 or handgun or something, and I said, oh man
 if that goes away I'm going to be sick
 we still have them
 of course, we still have the original
 files but
 these videos take out a life of their own
 and become this whole ecosystem
 of comments, everything.
 And then how many views it got
 is like kind of its own stamp in time
 which makes for the character of the video
 and the original upload
 and all that kind of stuff
 and the time stamp
 and all that.
 You know,
 it's going to be tough
 to see that go away
 on some of those.
 All the debates
 and arguments you all had on that particular video exactly yeah
 everything just gets removed alive yes so that's you know i guess i guess you know the good news
 is you know because if you guys were able to to get with the right people and continue forward.
 The bad news is it's still kind of the same story when it comes to a lot
 of our previous content in an era where we've had you know sponsorships,
 of course.
 If you go back far enough those videos are going to be fine like the really old ones.
 You know what's interesting I have to remind myself sometimes
 that through all of this and course we've had issues before
 a time or two.
 I don't really remember us ever doing anything illegal with firearms.
 I don't think so. We'll be getting in trouble for that. That doesn't compute, does it?
 You know what would have helped if
 there was like this really important document that even that they listed the
 importance of like freedoms and then you've got a fuller founding fathers and if like guns were
 ranked like pretty high on that list. Yeah, maybe up to
 first or second.
 Oh yeah.
 We wouldn't have this problem.
 We wouldn't, yeah.
 Yeah.
 That would've been cool, yeah.
 Maybe next time
 we'll set up our gun.
 Well,
 we're beginning to ramble
 I guess anything else that we haven't remembered too well?
 Yeah just be sure to watch the Sunday shoot arounds too for-
 Yeah, that'll be the next video probably and back yeah back uh back you know in the saddle for a sunday video coming up here in
 a couple three days but i mean basically we've said everything that we know.
 We don't know much.
 We wish we could tell you more about the specifics of it
 but that could put us in jeopardy even further.
 Yeah, that's probably true.
 So yeah, we told you
 everything that we can
 and everything that we know
 so hopefully
 this will be the end
 but I have a feeling
 it will not be
 because...
 Drama may continue. It will not be because...
 It won't be because the people that are against guns think that
 they're doing it for
 like, a good reason and they have
 like an idea. Their perspective is that this is something
 that's bad and nobody should be able to do it.
 And so they're going to keep pushing for it because they think they have a
 moral mandate on it. Yeah,
 this is going to keep going on.
 You know, the YouTube
 policies are getting stricter
 and stricter all the time.
 So we'll see but
 for now I think we will be able to continue.
 Right so again
 we really appreciate you all
 appreciate everybody sticking with us
 and we'll be cranking back up here. We may have a little
 hesitation here for the next week
 or something, but you'll be seeing us
 with some new stuff here.
 Good for them.
 Glad you came by. That's a came by and John has finished
 so I guess I have too
 life is good
 well holy shit, good for them
 yeah that's a massive fucking relief
 yeah, I mean there you go.
 They survived?
 Yeah, I'm glad that they did.
 As I said,
 I hope that my little video helped
 and everybody else too.
 Can you explain why having a gun is something needed for the average American?
 I think that
 your framing of
 that question is wrong
 because the having needed means that there should be a default state
 that you have to justify what you have.
 But I think the default state should be
 that people have to justify what they can take away from you so i think that your question
 it's like it presupposes a like anti-freedom perspective
 so I disagree with that just Just fundamentally, disagree with it.
 And Second Amendment? Yeah, there you go.
 It's not all people live in cities
 near a police station? Well there is
 a lot of reasons right?
 There are a lot of reasons why people would want to have guns.
 Like this is the way that I feel about it
 and I'm going to give you guys my honest opinion
 when I go out somewhere and I see somebody
 carrying a gun, it makes me uncomfortable
 and I'm a little bit on edge
 it does and i know that like some people are
 like oh yeah this is actually a good thing
 for me i'm a little bit uncomfortable about that now
 that doesn't why because I don't know.
 Is it you can use that to kill somebody? It's right there
 next to me? I don't know. Like what is this person
 crazy? Why would they have the gun here?
 I'm not sure. It opens up
 like I think about that.
 It's a threat.
 Yeah,
 it's natural.
 And now I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed
 to do it.
 There's a lot of things
 that make me uncomfortable
 but I don't think
 they should be illegal.
 So my only real opinion
 about this is that
 I think you should
 be able to have a gun
 to protect yourself for security. you should be able to have a gun to protect yourself for security.
 You should be able to own a gun
 for home defense or something
 like that. Going out,
 having a gun, what type of guns
 you can have, etc., this is not really something that i have a very strong opinion
 on to be totally honest with you i really don't uh but i do think strongly that you should be
 able to have a gun for for like home defense and for self-defense.
 Absolutely, and for hunting? Yeah, maybe
 for hunting too but mainly
 for self-defense. That's what I care about the most
 everything else is kind of like secondary
 to me so can you elaborate on the specifics once our new videos
 not indicate uh what the specifics were anyway well i don't know i think that really this is
 the way i see it with youtube right right? Is that YouTube again enjoys privileges
 that are afforded to it because YouTube
 operates as a platform and
 it doesn't censor and control
 what's being said on its platform
 in a massive way. That's clearly what the
 law is made to
 encourage, and I think that more
 YouTube starts making rules as
 to what is acceptable and not acceptable
 that privilege should be called into question.
 You should ask yourself why is it that YouTube
 has the question? Why is it
 that YouTube has this privilege
 and they're not even
 following through for what that privilege is supposed to enable
 because really, you think about it. Why do they have this privilege?
 They have this privilege to enable them to become a platform for people
 to have conversations and talk amongst each other. So if it's not
 serving that goal, then why have it in
 the first place?
 Yeah, YouTube censored so much during
 the pandemic. It did.
 And everyone's against owning
 a gun until Putin comes knocking on the doorstep? Yeah, but
 that's something different, right?
 I mean you can talk about politics without all you want
 and people can have arguments about it, etc.
 That's what my opinion is.
 I also don't think that just more guns is why we have more
 murders and school shooters. I don't think
 that's why it happens. I know this
 is probably an unpopular opinion but I don't
 think that's the reason because plenty of people like my dad told me
 people brought their shotguns and they left it in their car in high school whenever he was
 in high school. So how is it that you had a gun culture in the 60s and 70s
 and 50s? that was like this
 and nobody was going to the school
 and shooting people then,
 what happened?
 Because clearly, yeah,
 you do have stronger
 and better guns now.
 You're right.
 But on top of that, nobody even did it with
 one person, right? It didn't happen.
 So I think that there's a lot more to
 it. I'm not saying that it's not a piece
 of the puzzle, right? It's not a piece of the pie chart.
 I'm just saying that it's a slice and not
 necessarily the entire pizza.
 That's it. There's probably, like,
 I think honestly the reason why it happened is
 why school shootings happen. It's like 50
 reasons at the same time
 like that's honestly what it is it's not like there's oh
 the reason is because of this one thing right this one thing causes that but no
 it's like 50 things so yeah either way the thing that I care about is that YouTube
 is making rules and these other social media
 platforms make rules. And they do
 so in a way that I think is unfair.
 And I think they take advantage of privileges that they shouldn't
 have if they make those rules.
 That's really it.
 90% of school shootings happen because kids are constantly bullied and the teachers are too
 pussies to stop it? No, I don't think that's
 the case either because
 a lot of kids got bullied like My dad's told me many stories
 over the years of kids getting bullied at school
 and they never showed up to school and shot
 up to school, so I don't think that again
 like I think that you're not completely wrong
 but when I was saying before about how
 there is 50 reasons for
 why this happens. That is
 one of those 50 reasons, but it's
 not all 50 of the reasons
 Yeah, bullying used to be a lot worse
 yeah i think it was too give me a second uh i'm gonna use the
 bathroom and uh i'm gonna look at some other stuff too
 give me a second.. so so. so All right.
 Ah! All right.
 We good, we good, we good.
 Because of EU mods? is that it?
 Wikipedia's list of school shootings in a day.
 It's always 1760s or 1150s, 60s.
 Not the same as we have now though.
 Like sure, I'm sure.
 Like shootings that happen at a school
 like for example
 I'm pretty sure that some school shootings
 aren't really school shootings they're just
 shootings that happen near schools
 it's kind of a bit of a
 uh
 like a schools. It's kind of a bit of a like
 a misinterpretation
 it's a deliberate misinterpretation
 that makes it better
 it makes it different
 hmm That makes it better. It makes it different.
 Of course, it doesn't make it better...
 ...but it makes a difference.
 Most shittings are gang fights? Uh, that's understanding, but I don't really know that.
 Let me see here...
 Bank dumps don't help.
 Only statistics and data don't help to reason a problem?
 The amount of guns increased over the years for example? Yeah, of course it would.
 It makes sense.
 Oh.
 Okay.
 I thought this was pretty funny. Watch this.
 Social climate, climate change, depleting of oxygen? You think it's
 oxygen that's why it happened?
 Nijisanji. Oh yeah! Yeah,
 I need to look at- yeah, I heard about this shit. Anyway, I'll watch
 this first. to be changing anytime soon, but now their latest release,
 Flintlock's Siege of Dawn is out.
 The critics are only giving it decent
 reviews, but there's basically
 nobody playing it.
 I have a few things to show off, before i get into the topic if you enjoy
 the content 500 people are playing it right now join the community in my live series there it is
 supporting through patreon or YouTube memberships.
 Now, I have to talk a lot on this channel about Sweet Baby Inc.
 It's really the company that kind of set Gamergate 2 into motion
 that gained a lot of attention very quickly and people are not happy with the content
 that they are working on i think sweet baby is like obviously i'm not a fan but it's a bit of a
 like uh like a witch hunt where like people are really mad at them
 but it's not like they've invaded these it's a boogeyman
 it is because it's not like they've invaded these it's a boogeyman it is because it's not like they've invaded these
 studios and they've like busted in and they said oh hey we're gonna change all your games
 we're gonna make everybody here a woman, they're welcomed with open arms
 and paid for coming.
 Like there's a reason for that. Yeah, they're being
 paid to do that like the people that work
 there want them to be there.
 It's not like it's some kind of random you know uh chance and ultimately yeah
 their latest release flip-fl Siege of Dawn has finally come
 out and boy is it already
 looking like a disaster.
 Now first off the bat I have
 to say it is a terrible idea
 for companies to launch on a weekday
 unless you are already a massive studio,
 like FromSoftware can launch on it.
 It doesn't matter.
 Yeah if you have a good game
 your launch day matters
 a little bit right but
 I think that a really good example of this is
 like Entrouded
 came out like a few days after
 Palworld did and Entrouded, it still
 had over 100,000 people playing
 it because it was a very good game.
 Any day of the week, right?
 But when you are relatively
 unknown for your smaller studio. It is not
 smart to launch on a weekday, especially
 in the morning and that is exactly
 what happened with Flint Locks
 on Thursday morning. They
 said to themselves this is the best time
 to launch a game. So of course going into launch weekend I am sure that we are
 going to see slightly higher player numbers but for launch nope
 guess not
 uh Guess not.
 Uh-huh.
 Can't win them all!
 These are just terrible to go off of at this point in time.
 As you can see, judging by the Steam charts so far, very bad players
 in the game right now, 600.
 And of course, the all-time peak was two
 hours ago at launch with
 607
 people online.
 It went up guys. Of course there are some
 caveats to this because it is on Game Pass and I do It went all the way to 648.
 I love how people are coping, saying it's actually doing well on Game Pass.
 I'm sure that there are dozens of people that are playing it on game pass at this very moment
 yeah what do you guys think like maybe maybe like 80 people?
 Like maybe a few hundred, maybe?
 He's getting
 quite a bit of traction that way
 but of course we know that Game Pass
 really isn't all that positive for studios
 we've heard several developers come out and say well
 we do still ultimately rely on individual sales
 off of Game Pass.
 And I'm sure that this studio is as well,
 but well, it doesn't look like many people
 are going to really be buying this
 or financially supporting it. Now, of course
 I would have played this game
 if it had come out on a day that nothing
 else was going on.
 Because I played
 Starfield I played like, I played Starfield.
 I played Forspoken
 because the funny thing is that
 when I play a bad game, it's more
 popular than when I play a good game
 because I will make a good game look bad
 because I play like a retard.
 But if I make a bad game look bad
 by playing like a retard people say
 wow this games even worse then I thought
 cause it confirms their biases.
 ...do not trust critic reviews...
 Yeah, so the bad game plays
 are even more popular.
 And it will be interesting to see how users rate this game but so far it's only looking decent
 for this now a 71 is not awful by any means as 71 a 7 out of 10 is very high.
 That's a good game.
 Like, if somebody tells me
 a game isn't 7 out of 10,
 I'm going to think that
 this is an above-average game.
 If a game comes out
 and it has 700 peak players,
 it's not a 7
 because if it was
 it would have more people playing it.
 Come on!
 But we are talking about
 critics who do generally
 support the messaging
 and ultimately... Exactly. You should never take
 critics seriously....ideology that is shoved into
 products like this, so you would think that of course they are going to look
 past all of the technical issues and any story issues right in
 order to promote a game that supports their ideology but they're saying it's not
 perfect. It does
 things well like the open world
 and it is a fun experience
 that blends action
 and these souls light genre together
 but i thought they were i guess this confirms it i guess they are using ai to
 write articles now huh well there it is
 it's confirmed.
 It's still got issues now, of course. I don't necessarily think that again the critics are to be trusted but it is interesting seeing them giving the game these scores.
 And of course when it comes to Sweet Baby Inc., we know their focus is injecting DEI
 ideology into the product that they're hired to work on, but everything
 they are involved with just sucks. They've got bad... Well I think this is really
 a which came first? The chicken or the egg? I think
 that if you apply the logic
 that you don't care about
 the vision of your story or your game
 so much that you hire
 somebody else to tell you what it should be,
 it implies that
 the story and vision of your game
 probably didn't matter
 that much to you in the first place.
 So you probably didn't put
 that much work into it
 and you didn't care
 that much about it.
 So it's kind of like,
 yes, they're involved
 with all these things
 that are problematic
 or not successful but the fact that they
 are becoming involved implies a lack of care
 scripts character designs gameplay i mean you name it here's the other thing right
 like who the thought it was a good idea to make a souls-like game
 with a female character and not give her a fat ass.
 If you're gonna be watching her the entire time,
 who the fuck thought that? Really! Like I mean
 you look at The First Descendant, you look at Stellar Blade
 what are we even talking about here
 it's got a problem i have not seen any single game
 baby ink's name attached to it that across the board was fantastic.
 I think the closest game
 we really got was God of War
 Ragnarok, but even that
 faced a lot of criticism because they
 did ultimately decide to race swap characters and the story was much slower
 pace than the first game in the of course new we assume it's going to be Trilogy.
 We haven't really gotten any news on what's
 coming after Ragnarok but regardless
 that's the closest we've gotten to a
 really good game and even that
 was not perfect. I mean, is Sweet Baby
 Inc the company you call when your
 game sucks so much
 that you are desperate to find any
 audience?
 I think that's exactly what it is
 I think the game sucked before sweet
 baby was even involved i don't think sweet baby came in and ruined the game
 i think the game was already ruined allow them to reskin it and add cringe dialogue
 or backstories in hopes that modern audiences will show up.
 Newsflash, they don't because they don't exist. And we are
 seeing game after game after game release that doesn't have a real audience that they're targeting. Again, modern audiences do not exist. Closest group of people to that are sensitive snowflakes on social media,
 and they are not showing up
 to support products like this.
 They're too busy protesting Genshin Impact
 by spending money in the game and complaining
 about it and talking about it all day.
 Yeah, they
 don't have time to play this game.
 They don't have time to do that.
 They have to virtue signal in a game
 that they've spent $20,000
 and it doesn't matter if
 they literally like bro that game
 could have like actual fucking
 KKK members in it
 and somehow these people would find
 a reason to justify still playing it, even though
 they're complaining about skin tone.
 Absolutely! They are addicted
 to the game. Guess what? What a
 big fucking surprise! The people that
 are playing a gacha game are people that have no
 self-control. Wow!
 I can't believe it!
 It's like I went to Golden
 Corral a few months ago everybody there was fat
 What a fucking shock
 Suicide Squad killed the Justice League it had
 Feminism it had of course It had feminism. It had, of course, race swaps.
 It had very,
 very questionable
 character designs.
 That should have been a haven
 for these individuals but
 womp womp it's delicious it only peaked at 13 000 people
 that's it that's all they could muster up on this platform. It is absolutely
 pathetic now of course when it comes to Flintlock Siege of Dawn
 we have seen a plethora of problems because the trailers
 initially released two negative reaction.
 The senior operations... The game's just not that good, I mean like
 thing is like DEI won't make a
 bad game good and it won't make a good game bad.
 It'll make a bad
 game worse, sure.
 But it's not...
 It's never going to ruin a game.
 That's just
 the way, like you look at the combat,
 it's just not good.
 Growth manager
 down over backlash
 and left social media. And then there were developers
 that actually reached out to
 Cabrutis, who started the Sweet Baby
 Detected or now it's called DEI
 Detected Steam curator page
 and website. And they wanted to clarify that
 no Sweet Baby Inc. content
 made it into the final game
 but then he simply asked
 for proof and they never
 offered it, and now its's launched to, again,
 decent reviews by critics. It's crazy
 that they did that. By the way, I think
 that's such a big deal
 that they reached out to this random
 Brazilian guy who has a Steam group
 to tell them, to tell this...this guy. Like yeah
 by the way, this company didn't do anything. Yeah, yeah
 I think that's very like
 that's crazy
 that it has that much influence
 and not much power.
 That's incredible.
 How can you prove
 that Sweet Baby never made stuff in?
 Yeah, I don't know
 what they could have sent or anything like that.
 I'm just saying in general, it's funny
 that a tap they fear
 come prudest.
 Oh my god!
 It's so funny.
 Basically nobody is playing it.
 Maybe they did, I didn't read the message.
 You know, I did decide to make an X thread on this
 and people are already laughing at them
 talking about how pathetic this is.
 Based on the graph, the future for
 Flintlock Siege of Dawn looks incredibly
 bright as long as it keeps crying.
 Hey, by the way, if any of the devs from SoulFrame are still
 in chat, this is what you
 guys can look forward to if you
 release your game with that shitty fucking
 gameplay. Yeah, you can
 look forward to 600 people playing it and a video
 people like wow this is really bad nobody else like yes it's bad now all the comments
 wow i can't believe how bad itupwards at this astonishingly
 glacial pace.
 This really starts to tell you that the
 people we are against don't even care
 about their side, it's all about money and shilling.
 They've shown their hand,
 and nothing is beyond being played.
 They do not care.
 I wish we could see the Game Pass numbers.
 I want to see them too.
 Obviously, we won't unless they hit major milestones
 and they talk about it on their social media.
 Well, here's what happens, right?
 They're going to announce
 if it's high they're not going to announce it if it's high.
 They're not going to announce
 it if it's low.
 Duh.
 Does not happen.
 And I don't expect it to
 happen here because I
 don't think the player
 numbers are going to be
 much higher.
 There really wasn't a
 lot of hype surrounding
 this game leading up to release and even now there's no one really
 positively talking about it saying that oh my, so far the footage I've
 seen looks amazing. That's just not
 happening. People are saying
 good for them doubling the...
 Absolutely disgusting garbage game. Womp
 womp. Some of the layoffs
 are worth it, as sad as
 it is to say.
 Jesus Christ.
 Players of Suicide Squad
 Kill the Justice League that's
 big for them yeah I mean there's basically nobody
 playing that game either
 I've never heard of this game I didn't even
 know it was out yeah so we'll be interesting to see over the next
 few days for kind of release a weekend worse than concord numbers end up going for that no
 this game is not even nearly as bad as concord because this game is not a live service
 game and there's no way
 that they spent even a fraction of the amount
 of money that they spent on Concord.
 It's like, Concord is...
 This game is like you're out in a canoe
 And the canoe tips over
 It's like ah shit
 That's the way it is
 But
 Concord is like
 You're the Titanic
 and you just hit
 the fucking iceberg.
 It's a massive game.
 It will skyrocket
 in players
 I just totally doubt it and this looks to
 be massive sweet concord is a shareholder's nightmare
 you're so right! It's like this is the thing that, if you are a games
 investor and wake up in the morning
 you're like, fuck.
 The ink failure.
 Will anybody from this team take to social media and meltdown?
 It's just a dream.
 Call us all ists and phobes for not supporting this game
 that has a strong, independent
 woman of color as the lead?
 Probably. I'm sure that we are
 going to see some individuals
 coming out and calling us ists and phobes maybe even the media trying to defend
 this game only time will tell but for now that's all that i really had to discuss in this video
 let everyone know your thoughts in the comments below.
 If you enjoyed this, give it a like and if you didn't, give it a dislike.
 I appreciate your support either way but I will talk to you all again
 in the next video really soon.
 Well, there it is!
 And I...
 Yeah, Ubisoft this week,
 I don't know about this.
 I think this is crazy.
 Like if you're changing sexuality of an ex-
 like a historical person, that's crazy.
 But there's people hiring where they're coming from?
 Something so high profile as crap?
 I don't know how it happens.
 Yeah, there it is!
 Concordia, name of the ship, actually had
 a disaster? Wait...
 Wait...
 Oh my god! I just realized...
 ... I just realized. Oh no!
 You're right!
 Oh fuck! You're right! Oh, fuck.
 It's called the conga- I forgot all about this!
 Man... Man.
 Man.
 That just about says it, huh?
 Oh my god! That just about says it, huh?
 Oh my god.
 It's been 20 years? Yeah I guess so. Holy shit.
 No the Flintlock game... The real thing is like the gameplay just didn't look good
 it was it was a below average action combat game. I mean,
 it doesn't matter.
 The thing is that
 with Stellar Blade, for example,
 if you changed
 the Flintlock main character and you made them generic white guy number 13,
 The game would maybe have 630 people playing it instead of 607?
 I don't know.
 Maybe,
 maybe not like this really wouldn't have made the difference.
 The game just kind of sucked. You just look
 at it, it looked like trash.
 Starblade fell off the train in my opinion. Nobody's
 talking about it currently? Of course they're not talking
 about it because it's a single player game. It came
 out months ago. People played that's it that's what say
 that's what happens with store blades or without not so i played but that's on the single-player
 games and that's normal man also concord is the plane that's...
 Is the same sunk cost fallacy?
 That's nuts, man.
 I wonder how people are going to call Gamers Racist from South of Midnight
 an actual game people are looking forward to.
 Yeah, but they've spent like three years developing that.
 Who knows whenever that's going to happen?
 But yeah, I mean it's sad to see it happen.
 Another game, another Souls-like game
 that I can't play because it sucks.
 Because the gameplay sucks, nobody
 will play it for more than 15 minutes? You're exactly
 right. And I think that's
 what matters more than anything.
 Anytime that
 I see a developer that has like a good cinematic
 And then the gameplay comes out
 And it's bad
 I'm thinking to myself
 You idiot
 You fucking moron.
 What were you thinking?
 Why would you do this?
 Yeah, like what is this?
 It's a tower game?
 Maybe.
 I don't know.
 Game play is priority number one.
 Yeah, it's priority number
 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
 So I so
 I saw photos of this
 but I didn't want to believe
 that it was real
 so Nijisanji is a VTuber org.
 And well...
 Welcome! there we go
 any color apparently not the only color I see is red.
 Back yet again to the saga of Nijisanji's downfall, the never-ending train train wreck so as a recap right in the beginning of the year they
 were doing pretty damn well their stock price was high but it turned out that their work culture
 was so toxic that one of their vtubers tried to end their lives
 over that's right was to terminate them and then say that the financial impact
 of this was going to be negligible. Damn!
 That was Doki Bird before she... that was her original model
 and then she moved back to it because they
 took her model away.
 People might not know this about VTuber orgs
 because it's insane and
 ridiculous, but
 a lot of the VTubers
 they are
 when I want to say they are owned by the org,
 I want you to understand that I literally mean owned.
 The IP for the character is owned by the org they own who you are they own your assets yes exactly their
 mascots yes exactly you sign yourself away now not all of them do this some of them don't many of them do though
 i find it to be incredibly problematic and i think that it is a tremendous abuse
 at the case, and it's been in
 free fall since then. But
 recently, as you can see here,
 there has been somewhat of a recovery.
 People thought, you know what? Maybe it's time to finally move on.
 Maybe it's time to start a new chapter.
 Things are getting better! Well...
 I guess not. As you can see the
 recovery didn't last too long as
 just fell again right going from around 2 800 back to 2400 losing 20 of its value
 in the process well the question is what happened here? What has completely stopped
 this recovery? The answer
 simple, public humiliation
 Why would anybody audition
 to become a Nijisanji English VJ
 Yeah why would anybody want to do it
 Why would you want to do it?
 Why would you want to be part of the org that
 works people towards
 suicide,
 makes everybody put out corporate messages. They own
 who you are.
 Why would anybody want to do that?
 Yeah, because the thing
 is that this is the same
 problem that Blizzard has right if you
 are a talented great
 hard-working game developer
 do you want to work at Riot or Blizzard
 oh
 yeah Ooooooh.
 Though Nijisanji's online reputation has been pretty much burnt to ashes, they've never actually felt...
 Yeah but if you had to pick one
 it's going to be Ryan.
 This humiliation in real life
 up until very recently
 in the summer of 2024
 where it finally dawned on them just how much they botched their image in the West.
 This company that was worth a billion dollars at some point,
 the Japanese Stock Exchange can't even compare
 to its biggest rival anymore.
 This is how Nijisanji
 got humiliated.
 Let's talk about it.
 But you know what isn't humiliating?
 Marrying your favorite 3D waifu in your favorite gacha game.
 Are you kidding me?
 What game is this?
 Talking about Snowbreak Containment Zone,
 and you're in luck because the game is now better
 than ever with the new update.
 The stakes are of course higher
 but the gameplay is also
 snappier, smoother, more refined.
 This isn't just about gameplay though.
 This is a gotcha boob simulator
 game and it's not turn-based? I just assumed
 it was going to be turn-based. Because you have
 new awesome outfits and
 straight up weapons including a new weapon type.
 But you know what really sets
 Snowbreak apart from other games?
 Yeah, I would play this.
 Co-op modes like Torrent of Fire
 that came out with this update,
 where you and a co-
 Do they have male characters in this game?
 Partner control turrets in an endless game mode.
 And if you're still not convinced,
 then during this version update,
 you can get Fanny's starine for free in Orange Tier Operative
 So it's just like the internet pack then?
 as well as 10 free Echoes in the mail to pull for whoever you want.
 So what are you waiting for? Link in the description and the pinned comment to get yourself this game for free.
 And thank you so much Snowbreak for sponsoring this video.
 So as you might already know, there are many anime fans outside of Japan
 and one of, if not
 the biggest anime event
 of the year is held in Los
 Angeles at The Anime Expo.
 I thought about going to
 The Anime Exo this year.
 I didn't.
 I, uh...
 I thought it would be annoying.
 ...is huge and it's known to... is huge.
 And it's known to have an infamous reputation of overcrowding
 because there's just that many people
 who go there every summer. People
 look forward to not only the stands and displays that are
 there but also the announcements that are
 made there for the first time as opposed
 to being made in Japan. But this isn't
 just exclusive to anime. It's about
 things related to anime like VTubing. It's about things related to anime, like
 VTubing. It's held in the Los Angeles
 Convention Center. This is a
 huge center and it's where E3
 used to be held right? I'm sure you know what
 E3 is. Now Nijisanji just like their
 biggest VTuber competitors
 were set to be there. But
 unlike their competitors they wanted
 to take it to the next level
 so not only were they going
 to have a significant presence
 on the expo floor,
 but they were partnering up...
 You don't understand?
 They had males in Snowbreak
 but they took them all out?
 I see.
 That's why the game is doing well right?
 You know what? Everything
 is fitting together quite well
 I'm beginning to understand
 Anime Expo
 for the Summer Jam.
 This was gonna be Nijisanji Ien's first ever full 3D concert in the United States!
 It was going to an hour and a half long,
 And held...
 I'm sorry, I guess i'm too old for it but i think the
 3d concerts are ridiculous i do i think it's ridiculous now i i would probably
 go to one just because like
 hey, I would go to a furry convention
 I would love to do that. That'd be fun
 doesn't necessarily mean
 that I'm a furry, but like yeah,
 I think it's ridiculous.
 But hey,
 hey,
 hey,
 I'm a fucking asshole
 so what do you expect?
 At the Peacock Theater.
 But it wasn't just going to be one concert,
 it was going to be two! One on July
 6th and the other
 one on July 7th.
 The first one was going to expose their English
 talents, right? But the second one had some of their biggest japanese
 talents as well so they were really going all out for the global english speaking audience here held
 in the peacock theater this isn't a small theater. As I said, they were investing
 quite a bit in this. It was announced
 in May 2024 but
 by the beginning of June some
 people started to show concern
 You see, the problem was that the tickets were simply not selling That's...
 Not good.
 That's not good.
 That's way too many seats?
 Well, no, no, it's not.
 You have to keep in mind like that,
 like me saying that I think that the concerts are ridiculous.
 I am the old man yelling at a cloud.
 Okay.
 Well actually to be fair,
 it basically is a cloud. And a lot of other people like this.
 And these are really popular.
 Hololive always 100% fully booked?
 Exactly, yes.
 If Hololive did it, this
 wouldn't happen.
 As you can see, any seats
 in green just not
 booked yet.
 No one
 was buying the tickets. This wasn't a
 Peacock Theater, bro. I'll tell you this.
 If Hollow Live had an event near
 me, if
 I could, I would try to go the event
 i would just because it would be an experience and i would just be curious
 to see what it would be like why why not
 why not Why not? Why not?
 And in the general area, they hadn't even sold half
 of the tickets. The pit
 which usually sells out first
 was also not fully booked.
 These two right here were for the July 6th
 concert, and this one was
 for the July 7th concert.
 This was unexpected by
 Nijisanji fans, Nijisanji haters, and
 Nijisanji themselves. And their talents
 like what? The majority of the
 seats are empty!
 But time kept going
 by, okay? Weeks kept going by. I'm sure they would sell more.
 The tickets were not selling but people thought
 you know what dude,
 They're not gonna cancel this
 Yeah.
 They've already invested so much into it
 I'm sure they're gonna find a solution
 Maybe do giveaways
 Give out tickets
 I don't know something right?
 Yeah.
 They have to!
 Right?
 Well...
 On June 25th 2024
 Nichisanji put out this tweet
 Bear in mind,
 this is like barely a week before the concert
 was meant to take place.
 All right?
 Here's what they said.
 Important update
 regarding Nijisanji EN
 Summer Jam and...
 Which by the way way if I was them
 This is the right decision
 Because
 If I knew it wasn't selling out
 I would 100%
 Go just so I could record
 how boring it was
 and how dead it was.
 Yeah, absolutely.
 It's too late though?
 Yeah, but like sometimes
 it's better, right? It's like if though? Yeah, but like sometimes it's better
 right. It's like if you have an infected arm
 Sometimes you just gotta cut it off
 You got an infected finger
 Cut it off! Don't let it
 Don't let it get worse.
 Welcome to Wonder Wander World
 concert in L.A.
 This is an important update regarding the
 Jisanji Ian Summer Jam and welcome to
 Wonder Wander World concert in L.A.,
 originally scheduled for July 6-7 at the Peacock Theater during Anime Expo 2024.
 While we were incredibly excited to bring you our first ever 3D concert in North America, recent developments have made it clear that creating an optimal environment
 for an unforgettable experience for our fans and our livers is no longer
 feasible. Further details can be found at the following websites
 Please rest assured that full refunds
 for the concert tickets will be processed. I bet they will.
 Details regarding the refund process will be announced
 soon on our official X-accounts and
 websites mentioned above. We are also
 working on special perks to show our appreciation
 for all who purchase tickets."
 And then they made sure to specify that they will
 be at Anime Expo on booth E65.
 Maybe send them all those, like, hats
 with the propeller on the top?
 ...
 and that they weren't canceling that.
 The full explanation on their website states
 that they will be doing it live on YouTube
 instead, and then it will be free. However,
 that's only for the concert that was meant to be on July 6th. The one that was meant to be
 on July 7th was completely cancelled but people who bought a ticket for it were gonna get
 mini-live concert footage. Whatever that means."
 So understandably right the first reaction from a lot of people was absolute and utter
 disappointment right? You had people like this person here, say...
 Somebody says in chat, don't most VTubers not watch anime?
 They're women that just do it so guys can donate money to them?
 No, you're wrong. They're actually
 not women. It's all guys.
 Yep.
 There it is.
 I'm like a joke!
 I spent so much money on flight tickets and hotel
 And now you told me the concert was cancelled?
 I bought the Anime Expo ticket
 Because it requires one to enter the concert who will be responsible
 for refunding that it's so ridiculous so since they were partnering up with anime
 expo you needed an anime exploit ticket on top of the concert ticket to actually
 be able to go in.
 Why would you do...
 Well, that's probably the reason why it didn't happen.
 I mean, that's stupid.
 Why would you even...
 Why?
 The person is saying
 that the only reason they even bought
 an Anime Expo ticket was for
 this concert. This is a super fan
 that absolutely got it up
 the ass because of Nijisanji.
 Bear in mind, these tickets are not cheap, especially if you're coming from abroad where
 you might not have the purchasing power that is in the United States.
 So if you bought a ticket just for Nijisanji's concert,
 You weren't gonna get that refunded.
 This was very embarrassing. It was embarrassing as a fan and it was embarrassing for Nijisanji because everyone got screwed over here
 They had overestimated how many people would show up to their concert and
 got screwed over royally just looking at this gives me secondhand embarrassment man like oh
 my god there was no winning really bad. I'm actually kind of surprised
 but to damage
 honestly the real wall killer is paying for a hotel?
 Yeah, yeah, of course man
 that's
 absolutely horrible? Yeah, that's really,
 really bad.
 Can't compare to
 Tanacon though.
 I don't remember even
 what happened with
 that.
 I feel bad for the
 Japanese fans.
 I don't feel bad
 for any of the
 fans because they're
 supporting an organization that take advantage of people and is completely unethical. So when something bad happens to them, like they're wasting their money on this, it's like well, that's what you get you shouldn't have done it
 even if they went live the talents would see how many people showed up and think
 like like this is embarrassing.
 Even though they ended up streaming the concert online and the fans seemed to like it, especially the Westpac-
 Nah bro, like this only had 172k views?
 Nah bro, like if you look at
 look at this 593k
 This one has 224
 that's actually not really that many. And this is only their English channel
 keep that in mind.
 A million views, holy shit!
 Couldn't go initially, There was something else that happened
 at Anime Expo that was so
 humiliating. It was the fact
 that no one showed up!
 No one showed up to their...
 This is so bad, bro. I- This is what I saw.
 So they had a different uh...
 Oh my god.
 It's so bad.
 It's like...
 You know what I was saying before about how
 it's like a shareholders worst nightmare
 this is
 another one some guy even say but this is like another one some guy Jetson I didn't say it but this is the way you
 wake up huh okay sorry thank God stand they had taken such a big space and there was literally no one there.
 Man...
 If this is real...
 Oh my god their competitors
 hololive and vishojo absolutely full as well as indies like doki bird
 also being which by the way the funny thing is that doki bird was
 the one that started all of the drama
 that is one of the reasons why nobody's in this room
 so it's really fucking funny how that happened.
 Now of course, some people were concerned like okay listen
 It's fun to make fun of Nijisanji whatever but maybe this was when the expo was still opening
 or when it was closing right? Maybe this is just fake
 news. Well, someone was kind enough
 to take a video. VTuberCringe
 on Twitter.
 VTuberCringe, oh god.
 Yeah, that's about right.
 I ended up taking take this video.
 I sped it up by two times and as you can see
 they brought out statues! You know?
 Here's a couple right here. You have Alira Pandora
 and then you have Shu Yamano
 who is the Japanese VTuber in Nijisanji.
 And you have a bunch of figurines, right?
 Like the whole thing is set up in a cool way.
 I mean, you know, the stand itself isn't bad.
 But as you can see, it's a ghost house.
 There's nobody there.
 There are more VTubers on the walls than there are people.
 Jesus! Jesus.
 There are more VTubers on the walls than there
 are people. It is so embarrassing, embarrassing man i can't watch anymore this in contrast to their
 biggest competitor hololive is insane because they just showed up to the LA Dodgers stadium where three of their top talents presented and sang the baseball anthem to an almost full stadium.
 They called the event Hollow Lifeive night and it was a massive success
 oh my god yeah that's the future is now
 as I said
 I'm just thinking to myself
 the you know
 63 year old
 traditional conservative family man who fucking sees this in his baseball game. Oh
 Man Oh, man. With a good amount of Dodgers fans that were grateful for it
 because the stadium was full but they also managed to pull
 a comeback after a Hololive VTuber sang
 attributing their
 luck to Gargura singing.
 It was this very wholesome post made on the
 The thing is that these are
 three of their most well-known people, right?
 That's Pecora,
 Guargura, and Suisei.
 And everybody knows
 who they are. So, like...
 Yeah.
 It definitely did not
 go over very well for
 Nijisanji in comparison, you know?
 Tributing
 their luck to Gargura Singing.
 You guys didn't know?
 Okay, well I know.
 Where a Los Angeles Dodgers fan was thanking the Hololive and VTubing community
 for making that match one of the best Dodger games a fan since birth has ever seen from
 their perspective so yeah it's very clear the vtuber industry is shifting towards hall alive
 and leaving Nijisanji behind right now. This is an important
 comparison to make because while Hololive
 is a corporation just like Nijisanji,
 the main difference is that they do
 try their best to treat their talents as
 well as they can. It's also that
 they're not involved
 in a lot of controversy.
 In general, controversy for VTubing
 is bad.
 So, a lot of these companies try to avoid
 controversy as much as they can
 and I'm not kidding
 yeah, absolutely
 and like I'm not sure how
 Hololive does things
 I really have no idea.
 But what I do know is that they
 don't do what Nijisanji does.
 Leave John
 politics out of it? Yeah.
 Have you had some bad ones in the past? Well, I mean hey...
 There are always gonna be people that
 fuck up but
 these guys don't
 fuck up as many times
 Sanji has proven to us time and time again that is not the case if anything they have
 crazy favoritism in a very toxic culture so this is one of the main reasons why the stock
 has fallen this rally signified hope for investors like listen, man
 maybe they'll just make a comeback yes concert at the Peacock
 Theater in LA their presence in anime Expo like come on right
 this will really show us that all this stuff has been over exaggerated
 that's copium right there bro there's the that is that is a visual representation of copium
 well nope Well, nope. Nope! It was not negligible. What happened in February
 was simply not negligible. Do I think this is the end of Nijisanji? No.
 But it was most definitely humiliating they definitely can
 come back from this but it'll take a long time to get back to where they were when people will
 always bring this up and also like so this is one of the big problems with like VTubing is that so much of VTubing is built off of a.
 Like it's built off of an image. It's built
 off of a fantasy
 so as soon as you
 crack that
 fantasy at all
 people immediately lose interest this is why i it's not healthy i don't
 i'm not i don't think it's not healthy i mean there are plenty of people that act
 like freaks that watch normal streamers too. It's not like VTubers
 have a monopoly on this
 but what I do think is that
 a lot of times what happens is that
 a lot of these content creators
 any drama happens,
 something like this happens
 and people immediately
 lose interest.
 And I think it's the same thing
 with these orgs
 is that
 people get into VTubing
 and get invested in it.
 This is my opinion
 because it's a form of extreme escapism and get invested in it, this is my opinion.
 Because it's a form of extreme escapism.
 So anytime that something happens
 that's kind of close to real life
 it alienates those
 people because those people are trying to get
 away from reality.
 The whole VTuber thing is weird?
 I don't...
 I like VTubing, I think VTubing is
 cool. I do, that's my opinion.
 It comes to the global audience.
 I just hope that in the process
 no one gets hurt
 like their past talents
 and they can foster
 a healthy work environment. Maybe that'll help them i don't know
 sell more than half the available tickets that's terrible oh my god oh thank you for watching guys
 i'll see you in the next video whenever that is.
 This is crazy.
 Stay safe out there.
 Love you.
 Oh my fucking God.
 The website must be bugged because no one is buying tickets can someone fix the
 website please haha man w video yeah I didn't know about the...
 I knew about the Anime Expo thing
 I didn't know about that other one
 Who's your favorite Vtuber?
 I mean, I don't really have a favorite Vtuber
 Really, I mean
 I don't spend a lot of time watching VTubers
 at all, to be honest
 I don't spend a lot of time watching
 anybody's stream
 I watch reruns of my own
 stream to see like, okay
 this part
 sucked. I need to stop doing this.
 Like, yeah, I'm gonna watch my- like, that's-
 I'm busy, bro. Like, I'm busy doing shit.
 Like, obviously, of course,
 I know a lot of the VTubers. Of course I know all the VTubers.
 But that's not
 really something I'm active about. I only spend a lot of time
 watching streams in general.
 But self-criticism? Yeah, absolutely.
 Yeah, of course I've watched Cassius. Of course I've watched Chaos.
 Absolutely, I've watched Shy Lily,
 I've watched Silver Veil,
 I've watched Iron Mouse.
 There's a few of them
 in any gacha
 game. You want to find VTubers?
 Go to a gacha game.
 So anytime that I'm playing
 one of those, I might watch one of them
 and see what they're doing and see you know, see how things are going
 But yeah, Nanners
 Is nice. Yeah, absolutely
 So
 Thillion, yeah sure
 She did the whole VTuber awards
 I think that VTubing
 is nice because it
 removes a certain, like
 VTubing is really
 good because it functions as kind
 of like an equalizer especially for women in the streaming space
 because and also it kind of removes the need to look a certain way because i think that one big
 issue that a lot of girls have is that if you don't look a certain
 way, if you don't present yourself in a
 certain way. And I think that some
 of this is genetic
 obviously like some people are just more attractive
 than others but overall being a VTuber also gives you a lot of privacy
 because one thing that like it's very obvious
 all the popular streamers that are girls are hot.
 What a fucking surprise.
 But there's another component to this too, is that you know what people like to do to hot girls on the internet? Stalk them. That's right! They like stalking them, harassing them, trying to invade their personal life
 etc. So
 a girl can do that and that's why
 like a lot of the VTubers are attractive
 in real life it's not like they're ugly
 but they don't want to put that out there a lot because they don't want to put themselves in a position where they could have people recognizing them and harassing them.
 So that's the reason. Yeah, bad things happen exactly it's an equalizer uh for men they
 get to pretend that their girls and farm creeps so you think that all the vtubers
 are actually just guys yeah i i don't think so. Okay. It's
 funny that you say that but I
 don't really think that's what's happening
 with living countries. So it's actually dangerous
 than to be in public. Well, yeah and like
 you've got to keep in mind like a lot of these girls they are
 like they can be in danger right they could be in danger if uh you know somebody like that sees them
 or you know somebody's harassing them like stalkers every girl
 that i know basically that has done screaming and is successful at it has had to deal with
 stalkers and weirdos and stuff like that. And it's not
 like VTubers
 don't get that,
 but there's an
 added layer
 of security
 that makes
 it probably
 safer to do.
 It's a non-zero
 probability
 there guys? Yeah, yeah sure
 Hey all VTuber guys
 Thanks guys that such of boomer tank. Yeah, that's why people are saying it in my chat. Okay?
 I do it because I want to be able to have a separate life
 for my personal life and my internet life. Well yeah
 and there's a lot of people that are going to do it
 for different reasons but the point that
 I'm making is that a lot of people
 the reason why VTtubing is popular
 for them is really simple.
 It's because they don't have to put on makeup every day.
 You don't have to do this.
 You don't have to worry about the way that you look
 and for a lot of girls
 that matters a lot because
 I've seen this happen with girls many
 times and it's like girls
 they're popular and then their looks change
 and then people don't watch them anymore
 It's very sad, right?
 It sucks.
 I mean if you look at it from their perspective –
 now obviously I'm sure there's incels that are like oh yeah,
 that's what you get, L women, right?
 But the truth is that if I look at it from their
 perspective, oh yeah, that probably
 really sucks.
 That sucks. Like absolutely that
 sucks. So like why do you want to have
 that happen to you? Why do you want to open up the door for
 that to happen?" And I think that the chances are
 that people don't. So yeah,
 you get noticed by their sound is different.
 Yeah, yeah, sure.
 What about millionaires that are balding into Mr. Burns?
 Well, there's a lot of them too.
 Yeah, I mean, I'm sure as a guy it's the case too, right?
 It's like you don't want to look old
 of course but yeah
 it's an normal part to age as you age
 but people don't want normal
 they want what's perfection
 They want you to look as good as you can. Like, what a big
 fucking... Are we really going to be goofing?
 Are we really goofing now?
 We're going to really be goofing about this?
 What are we fucking talking about?
 Everybody knows what we're doing. Everybody knows what's going on. What are you talking about everybody knows what we're doing
 everybody knows what's going on what are you talking about it's obvious
 yes i really dislike vt because it feels very ingenuine to me
 i think that you should immediately ask yourself why you need to have
 genuine interaction with a live stream
 and you need to realize that
 every live stream that you're watching
 is not genuine fundamentally
 everything that you're seeing on camera
 is put there in order for you
 to keep watching it.
 You're not getting any sort of a more
 genuine interaction with whatever
 streamer you're watching, they're probably not like that off-stream, and in the cases where they are it's not as much of a...
 It's different right? It might be the same but still different. It's entertainment. You should not be
 looking to make your entertainment genuine.
 You should be looking to make your entertainment
 entertaining and the
 moment that you start trying to like
 look for and trying to go after that,
 you know, oh well I want to make sure
 that I'm connected to this person or anything
 like that. You have crossed
 into the realm of, look,
 I'm going to say it it mental illness. That's
 it and every single time that I see
 a streamer that's like oh he's so
 genuine no people really like him
 I guarantee you that
 their audience is full of fucking freaks.
 And don't ever do that.
 Don't ever...
 Am I different off-stream?
 Of course, I'm different off-stream. Everybody is going to be
 different off-stream. Of course, I react to things differently. Like, this
 is me playing video games off stream.
 Okay. Like, that's it! That's what I do. So yeah, when I'm on stream
 I act different. What a fucking surprise. It's crazy, man.
 My limit is
 caring about someone helps?
 Yeah, exactly. Happens with all celebrities.
 So many crazies out there. Yeah, of course.
 Put a camera in front of anybody, they're going to act differently.
 And stop looking for people
 to be genuine on streams.
 The reason why is
 that here's the real reason why.
 It's because you can never actually know that
 you can never actually know that somebody is being genuine on stream versus not
 and that's the big issue because you don't know them off stream.
 So,
 You're always basing this off of like some,
 You know,
 Fantasy.
 It's like oh I think this is what they're like.
 You don't know that.
 You don't know them.
 Like what the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, You don't know that. You don't know them. Like what the fuck are you talking about?
 Yeah, he came to the IRL. Yeah, exactly.
 And
 you can't get disappointed once they're not genuine
 anymore? Yeah, exactly.
 Shroud is pretty boring and I think
 he's like that off stream too
 Jesus Christ
 I've hung out with Shroud
 in real life, he's not
 He's great, yeah absolutely I don't even think he's not. He's great, like yeah absolutely! I don't even
 think he's boring on stream, he's just
 playing video games so if you're
 looking for somebody that's doing something crazy
 no, he's not going to be as energetic
 as Kai is okay? But that doesn't necessarily mean he's not going to be as energetic as Kai is.
 But that doesn't necessarily mean he's fucking boring.
 What do you mean?
 No!
 That's very stoic.
 Yeah, it's a better word.
 Exactly.
 Tell it to LSF.
 Breeding ground of people
 involving themselves in streamers they know
 nothing about you are exactly right like every time i see people arguing about a streamer and
 bringing up like personal events that happened in this streamer's life like six years ago,
 I think to myself,
 don't you realize that you're a
 fucking freak? Do you ever
 think back?
 Here's something that I've learned.
 I have never made a Reddit post that I didn't regret.
 I have never posted anything on Reddit
 that has improved my life.
 It has at best been neutral and, on average, been negative.
 It's sad yes You're not doing anything.
 Are you just rage bait?
 Yeah, at least that's entertaining.
 Never posted on Reddit?
 Yeah, even announcements about your stuff? I post it on
 Twitter and I hardly even do announcements
 I'll just type something in chat
 people will figure it out, right? It's not a big deal
 Just sitting here
 watching your stream, watching the cat multit multitasking yeah i don't care about
 my serious personality i'm actually only there for the content if i don't like it
 i leave and really care about if they're good or bad in real life yeah and the thing is like
 here's the thing a lot of streamers they try to
 cultivate that audience because that
 audience is super dedicated
 and they absolutely
 are like they'll watch you no matter
 what, they'll watch you do sponsored streams, they'll watch you no matter what. They'll watch you do sponsored streams,
 they'll click your links,
 they'll buy your merchandise
 and then maybe one of them will show up at your house
 and kill you, right? I mean hey
 that's just the way it goes.
 So from my perspective, when I see this,
 I think to myself, ah, you know what?
 Maybe it's not that good of an idea.
 You know, there are some positives for it,
 but there's also some negatives
 yeah yeah you win some you lose them exactly
 any sponsorships coming up oh for me i always sponsor here and there right
 so yeah you want to move something exactly can't have your cake in you too well here and there, right? So yeah. You want some moose meat? Exactly!
 Can have your cake and eat it too. Well, there are going to be
 negatives, right? And its not about like
 whether the negatives are deserved or
 not. Like people always like saying
 oh well you deserve that because you played into it
 I deserving
 you deserve this
 You know what the people say deserving things
 are? Are the people that are trying to make
 sense out of a world
 that there is no order to.
 There's no fucking logic to this!
 Like, the only thing that deserves... like gravity
 something that goes up deserves to go down
 DESERVES
 Holy fuck Now, like anytime I hear that up deserves to go down. Deserves.
 Holy fuck.
 Now, like anytime I hear that word out of somebody, I'm fucking okay.
 Here we go.
 There we go. Now we get to hear somebody's
 fucking opinion. Oh great.
 Alright now it's Yeah this is some sort of
 high ground argument...oh fuck
 You get what you fucking deserve?
 But that's like a phrase right right it's different it's a phrase
 but to meme entitlements and delusions yeah sure dante said this issue with his fan base he didn't
 have a filter on his real personality i bet he's still probably different in IRL.
 Like, I never met Dante or talked to him in IRL
 but I guarantee you he'd probably be X different in IRL
 than he does on stream. It's just the same as anybody would.
 That's normal, right? I mean like
 what the fuck? It's not even a question.
 What happened to Ubisoft?
 Ubisoft was... has been exposed
 so that guy that...
 Ubisoft built a castle on sand.
 They built a castle off the back of a white man
 pretending to be a Japanese
 man who pretends to be another
 man on Wikipedia that talks
 about how this guy who's
 pretending to be Japanese actually
 is writing a correct story about another
 person who wasn't Japanese,
 Yasuke. And apparently the
 entire... It's like basically think of it as a cardhouse
 of lies and it's coming
 down. So yeah,
 that's basically what happened.
 That's a lot of layers? Yeah.
 Is there different streaming year?
 Is there a percentage that want to answer your question? It's irrelevant.
 It's completely irrelevant the way I act in
 real life versus the way I act on stream.
 It's not important, it's not important it's not nobody needs like you guys may not
 may or may not notice this right but there are a lot of things that
 have no problem sharing and there are some things that i don't share. This is on purpose.
 I've done this for quite a while,
 I know how it is.
 So you watch your entertainment?
 But what if the guy is saying he finds genuine content entertaining?
 Can you not prefer entertainment and
 genuineness at the same time? Here's
 the problem.
 I'll read this.
 You can't tell what's genuine and what's not.
 That's the problem.
 It's not that looking for genuine content is fundamentally bad.
 It's what the incentive behind it is bad.
 Some people can tell, no you can't. You can't tell. How?
 How? How can you tell because they act a certain way?
 How do you know that? Like, you don't know that.
 You only think you can tell.
 That's the problem.
 It's mannerisms. Yeah,
 exactly. The feeling is not knowing it's easy to tell fake people. It's mannerisms. Yeah, exactly the feeling is not knowing it's easy to tell fake people
 It's not easier to sell fake people trust me
 I have lied and faked things out for people over the years many times
 And one thing that I've learned is that you can lie
 to anybody and they're not
 going to know it. That's why
 I don't lie to people.
 The reason why is I think
 that it's cheating. It's too easy like if I want to take advantage of something then
 I try to figure out a way to tell them the truth and make
 them think that it's not true because lying is too fucking
 easy.
 It's boring. It's boring!
 It's an exploit, it is, it's an exploit!
 No you're not gonna fuckin' go
 and be like, APC? Yeah
 sure, the gentleman I can tell
 that.
 How?
 How can you tell them?
 How? Ask yourself that question.
 You know how people were surprised by the
 dock situation, or proofs that people can't tell?
 Exactly. People have no idea, they never did.
 I agree some people seem to extract more of their genuine expressions but it's all encompassed in the show.
 It is! It always is like that.
 Show us how much of degen you are?
 Yeah, I'm just saying a lot of the people that think that
 they can tell, can't really tell.
 They don't really know what they're talking about.
 People who say they know you are the ones that they that you were like you seem to be yeah of course and like also if you go
 and you ask friends of mine what was i like in high school what was I like in high school?
 What was I like
 in middle school?
 What was I like
 when we went to college?
 They'll tell you,
 did you see him
 act like an asshole?
 Yeah, it was like that.
 Right? That's it them yeah everybody wears a mask exactly yeah that's normal you know what's trump president now oh
 is trump i think trump's gonna win for sure Trump's going to win. For sure he's going
 to win. It's not even going to be close.
 It's going to be a blowout.
 To be honest, people aren't genuine in
 real life? Exactly.
 You're part of the Knight Group talent agency?
 What'd they help you with? Oh, they helped me get sponsors!
 Yeah, of course!
 Where do you think that they helped me to advance
 the globalist agenda? Did you read that on Twitter?
 Yeah, it's a sponsorship agency.
 That's the way it works.
 Yeah, exactly.
 The idea that no one can tell is ridiculous.
 The idea that no one can tell is ridiculous the idea that no one can tell is ridiculous
 i think that I think you're naive.
 I do, I think that you're naive.
 I think you think that
 because you overestimate
 your perception
 and you underestimate
 how good people are at lying and how good people are at deceiving
 you're not inside anybody's brain yeah you're not inside people's brain etc
 the doom creator drama defending people supporting trump posts
 where do i find that uh i'll look at that. That seems funny
 Yeah, yeah dad that's funny I want to see them
 Here's the YouTube link. Just tell me what the name of it is.
 Have you seen Destiny's Kid get banned on Twitch? Yeah, I did. I thought that was really funny.
 Not him getting banned. I thought that was ridiculous
 but the clip was hilarious.
 If you're
 trained, I think
 you can. A lot of tells give us away every time.
 Really?
 If that's true then why isn't it missable in...
 Why is not immiscible in court?
 Why is body language not admissible in court?
 Oh, that's right because it's not true it's fake it's ultimately pseudoscience so the
 real test is that are you gonna bet somebody's life on this nope That's because it's fake.
 People always like talking about it in abstract terms.
 But yeah, just give me the title.
 People wanted themselves all day?
 Yeah, absolutely.
 Talking about John Carmack? I'll give give it a minute then i'll look at it
 destiny got banned yeah for sure
 there's nothing wrong with that take. He's not
 wrong. What's wrong is pretending like streamers are perfect
 and never cross the line going the other way
 when it gets documented and reported on the platform
 they're protected
 I think that the moment that you start
 thinking about punishing
 streamers and getting mad about this stuff...
 Like, you can get mad at
 Twitch but holding a grudge
 and getting upset about this regularly?
 I really think that you're
 i i think that you're just crossing over into the realm of mental illness
 the doom creator panics what is this here
 can i just find the link
 i just want to see the twitter post
 let me see this guy's
 he's recently with you what did he say
 okay john carmack John Carmack.
 Alright.
 Well, I'm not blocked. Okay, so this is the post. Is there anything more to it than this? I'm going to assume that there's not. Give it time?
 Wait, what?
 Well let me read
 What he says
 I'm sad to see the glee That some on the right have Well, let me read what he says. i'm a hardcore free speech advocate and i look at it like germ warfare
 it's bad for the whole ecosystem people like to think that they would fight and
 die on these sacred principles this is low stakes practice
 the actors will say those aren't my sacred principles,
 I'm going to punch back at my enemy
 but to the people at the margin
 maybe the principle is important to you
 maybe you shouldn't cheer for an online mob
 Is this it?
 This is what he says,
 is this the whole thing?
 Let me see if there's any follow-up to this
 at all.
 ... see if there's any follow-up to this at all. Uh... Let me just read a few of these, sorry.
 Okay.
 Watch the first five minutes of the video.
 I mean, there's no real reason to look at all
 that didn't defend his own colleague from getting canceled. He's full of crap.
 Oh, yeah!
 I remember that.
 Yeah, that's a good point.
 He could have said that years ago? Yeah.
 Here's the thing,
 he's right but he's an hypocrite?
 Well, he's not right because
 if you're a free speech advocate
 when has he... did he defend people
 saying that COVID was fake?
 Did he defend people
 criticizing BLM?
 Did he defend people criticizing
 LGBT?
 Because if he did,
 then I would take this more seriously.
 But the truth is that the only reason I bet he's saying
 this is because he feels like he
 can. That's the reason why,
 is that you don't really believe in free speech.
 You just believe in perceiving free speech.
 You believe and putting yourself out there
 and acting like you care about this.
 Fake ass bullshit? It's fake!
 It's not free speech absolutist. Do you think
 that people should be able to say the N-word?
 Pretty simple, should they be able to say that on Twitter with the hard R? And I guarantee you he's going to talk around the answer, but he's a free speech absolutist. He's a hardcore free speech advocate. So what's going on here? But there are consequences? Yes, but this is the problem. The consequences are what he's complaining about.
 Someone said, yes please.
 Yes it's bullshit.
 It's complete bullshit.
 Everyone should be judged by their statements
 but appeal to the mob for a swift redress isn't favored societal behavior to me.
 Has he ever complained about somebody being canceled
 for being racist or for being sexist?
 I bet he hasn't. I bet he hasn't
 i bet he has a defended anybody like that
 bullshit
 total bullshit
 does he have to yes
 yes if you want me to take your values seriously,
 and you want me to adopt your values as your own
 then I expect you to live by them
 And if you don't live by them
 You can have whatever opinion you want.
 It's totally fine. However...
 Don't expect anybody else
 to carry your standard if
 you won't do it yourself.
 It's virtue signaling.
 Yeah, it's absolutely virtue signaling.
 Man of the Myth, The Legend?
 Listen, there's plenty of people that make great content and they are great creatively, but okay
 They did something a long time ago. They're assholes
 Like who cares? I don't care like the
 creator is an asshole of Doom. Who cares
 Like I still play the game. I don't care about
 That. It's completely separate.
 You Americans have a huge problem with the word?
 Well, my point is that when I see... let's see what he said about COVID.
 Has he made any posts about COVID?
 Let's see this
 uh
 well here we go yeah exactly Let me just look at what the details for this are to be fair it seems like he criticized Twitter for suppressing this information.
 It does, it seems like he has also criticized Twitter for doing this.
 So maybe this actually is a principle
 maybe not caught yeah seems to be fair yeah
 because that's what i want to look at right because like if the thing is
 to me if you want to test whether something is like you know how do you test a chain a chain
 is only as strong as its weakest link right so if you want to test something
 you put it under pressure so i'm curious like is this the same
 thing
 yeah if he's being consistent then that's respectable.
 I think it is.
 I'm trying to look and see if there's any other
 examples of this. It's unfortunate Rob made Basecon so intentionally provocative.
 Yeah, it seems like he at least has a degree of consistency here.
 I don't think that...
 It's as worth it to
 criticize
 this guy.
 He's
 smart?
 Yeah,
 no.
 And again,
 this is
 my perspective
 again,
 is that
 I think
 if you're
 not
 defending
 things unpopular
 Your position as a free speech advocate
 is meaningless to me
 Because free speech is not made to say that you like vanilla ice cream
 that's not what it's for so when somebody is defending this
 in a position where you know like they can
 be seen as the good guy.
 I would argue spreading COVID misinformation
 can directly lead to death of others
 but still defend the right to do it
 but it can cause actual harm?
 Yeah there's a lot of things that
 can cause actual harm though
 It's not just coveted misinformation
 this invasion sure but supporting the assassination of a political figure
 uh is it really supported under free speech yes Yes, it is. Absolutely. Yeah, if you say that
 you don't care or that you're happy that somebody got shot,
 That's completely free speech. Absolutely. It's not even a question.
 Yeah.
 Not in Canada, and thank God
 I'm an American. That's what
 I think.
 Running hundreds of thousands on VAC through a border is also bad?
 Yeah, sure.
 Nobody understands what free speech is.
 It's complex.
 But either way...
 I see a lot of people are pretty unhappy about this.
 About him saying this.
 Okay. Yeah, you can't be in the middle. People hate you for it. I think this is going to keep happening though, right? Is that conservatives...
 Like if I was like a big advocate of this, of the cancel culture.
 I think they believe that they are totally justified in doing this
 that they are completely justified in doing it and i can see where they're coming from too because
 for a very long time people were losing their jobs
 for expressing viewpoints that were conservative or something like
 that. And now
 the
 people always use a tool against the people that used it against them
 anybody could have guessed this trump is live he's live on twitch what What? Obviously Gretchen Whitmer is a problem.
 I'm talking about even further back than that.
 Oh my god!
 Wow! Wow.
 NAFTA Yep.
 Giving China the sweetheart trade deal
 and letting them into
 the World Trade Organization Oh my god.
 The Iraq war in 2003
 on every
 single one of those issues
 Joe Biden was wrong
 and President Donald J. Trump was right.
 Even though he was a real estate developer in New York, he knew instinctively what this country I wonder how Destiny must feel.
 That somebody who intentionally led an insurrection against the government that got multiple people
 killed is getting
 unbanned on Twitch,
 but his kid gets banned for making
 a joke and he has been banned
 for multiple years.
 That is insane and he has been banned for multiple years.
 That is insane!
 Wow!
 Man... Favoritism? I guess so.
 It just goes to show you being a cuck is worse than overthrowing the government?
 You can't even make that argument. Because Sneeko isn't banned.
 Oh God, oh Jesus!
 Oh my god
 jesus
 oh my god That chest! Wow. Man. Man.
 It's really kind of crazy how hard this guy has popped off.
 Like...
 It-it's absolutely insane.
 Trump never led an insurrection?
 Well, according to Destiny he did.
 I don't want to argue with you about whether he did or not, my point is that from Destiny's perspective he did and that's what he's thinking.
 Yeah i don't want to argue about that.
 It's not my problem.
 Man.
 He's live on Twitch.
 It is insane how hard this has popped off. Yeah.
 Like,
 I'm trying to think like back in the day,
 Obama was much bigger culturally than Trump.
 But in terms of the individual...
 I'm trying to think has there ever been a time that it's been
 more than Trump?
 It's like he's the main character
 of America.
 Look at that bro like and he's like he's waiting the song out so he starts talking at the end of the song holy fuck
 jesus can do yeah it's like that yeah that was such a long time ago
 i mean i think this goes to show like how big of
 a factor it is for somebody to be
 really well and really good at media.
 This is like a Michigan football game over here.
 Did the bit right?
 Did they give Trump a bad bit rate? Thank you, J.D., for the introduction.
 You're going to be a fantastic vice president of the United States.
 He's not partnered.
 And I chose him because he's for the worker he's for the people that work so hard oh my god perhaps weren't treated like
 720p is not even partnered.
 They're probably
 restraining from some R2?
 Yeah.
 I'm not going to watch
 this whole thing,
 it's really funny that
 now he's undanned.
 How do you feel about Vance?
 I'm fine with him.
 I haven't found something
 to make me not like him.
 But,
 I don't know a lot about him.
 I haven't really found something
 to make me not...
 To like him either,
 really.
 Yeah,
 that's it.
 He's not 80 years old,
 number one.
 Number two, he has a beard.
 Those are the only two things I really know about him.
 He's from Ohio? Yeah, yeah, something like that, right?
 But let's forget like that, right?
 Rerun real speeches in 25 minutes?
 Yeah, no doubt.
 This is probably an old rerun, but I'm just saying in general
 it's really crazy.
 Like, it's crazy how hard this has popped off.
 Like I'm trying to think like for me
 because I've kept up with politics
 for as long as I've been like, you know, sentient.
 And I've never seen a
 oh it is live? Yeah, I don't know.
 But
 I've never seen a pop-off like this before
 of any candidate minus,
 like maybe Obama in 2008.
 But Obama it was more for what Obama represented
 and like for Trump
 It's just the cultive personality
 of it just being
 Trump.
 It's actually insane.
 So you guys think you're promoting a
 fascist to actively destroy post-democracy freedom?
 Typicalxan trash
 what do we get what do we have here doritos salads. Biden needs to drop out. Wow.
 This person is so much of a schizo, I actually don't know what their position
 is on anything.
 I'm actually surprised
 that you've lasted for two days.
 The mods
 have been sleeping man, They didn't see you.
 Yeah it's a troll account? I guess so.
 Man... What a hater? It's mental illness.
 What do you expect?
 He hates everyone?
 I bet he does.
 He's gone now.
 I'm playing games, man. Hey, so was
 he.
 Let's make politics boring again
 please. Yeah, I don't think people want to do that. And also like everybody says that but then they get bored and then they don't vote. That's the reason why it happens is like you can say oh yeah we want it to be boring again, but then they don't do it that's the difference yeah they don't vote based
 off of them why are they repeating their posts every time to get me to read him like i probably
 have ignored that person's post like five or six times.
 And like, I'm finally like...
 I see it again and it's like, okay,
 I've fucking had enough of this shit.
 You know?
 That's enough for me.
 Shams, he got shot
 and became more famous? He did. Yeah, boring
 is awful. I agree, man. Warframe
 has 400k views. Yeah, I mean the
 event that they're doing is really big and like
 Warframe is really popular. A lot of people like the game like i've thought
 about playing it myself i just haven't really done it like right now i'm in kind of like a pretty
 weird spot with games where like there's not a lot of games that I'm
 super interested in playing
 right now, but the ones that I am
 I'm kind of
 just in
 grind mode.
 To be honest, the main game that I've been
 thinking about a lot is
 PoE. Yeah,
 I've really been thinking a lot about PoE.
 Drone and Libertate? liberty yeah it's like i thought
 about trying out throne and liberty again
 but how long is the beta going by the way
 i don't even know yeah how long is the beta happening for?
 Two or three more
 days? Yeah, I'm not going to invest time into that
 then. That's crazy. have you seen soul flame gameplay soul
 friend gameplay yet i have it was one of the worst biggest jokes i've ever seen literal trash.
 Like, it was impressively bad.
 I'm gonna be honest.
 Yeah, No Man's Sky?
 Yeah, I need to do that.
 Wukong will be my next big game. Yeah, No Man's Sky? Yeah I need to do that.
 Wukong will be my next big game? Yeah yeah how did they fumble so hard?
 Don't bother with flim block?
 I've tried it last night and its absolute shit
 Am I excited for the War Within? Am I excited for the war within?
 Am I excited for the war within?
 Um,
 I'm like a six.
 Yeah, I'd say like a six.
 That's about it.
 More like the soy within?
 Yeah, I just think that WoW is...
 It's made for people
 that aren't me
 when doing solo raids.
 This is why you never try
 Guild Wars 2.
 I don't really...
 I don't like the way it looks
 if you think about whether you're excited or not
 well yeah but like
 just in general I think that like WoW is
 uh
 it's like very played out, you know?
 Like I feel like every
 season of the expansions
 is like the same. Where it's
 like...
 You do Mythic Plus
 You get your levels up in Mythic Plus you do mythic plus
 You get your levels up in mythic plus
 and then
 After you do mythic plus, then you do like what? Um fucking like maybe a raid on heroic
 To get the it's just It's the same thing, classic hardcore that was never fun
 Like there is a reason why I
 never played Hardcore
 Or I made a guild and barely fucked around
 on there at all Like Like that was it.
 Like you said, they gotta pull Final Fantasy XIV?
 Yeah I think so too.
 Will I play Wukong on release?
 Yeah I think I will.
 Uh...I'm planning on playing it on release.
 Did you watch the Borderlands movie trailer? I did not. playing it on release.
 Did you watch the Borderlands movie trailer? I did not.
 Actually had a lot of fun on Hardcore.
 I don't have fun on games that
 I have to pay attention to,
 and this might sound like weird but like i play video games
 in order to turn off my brain which is weird because like for me
 growing up i played video games to turn on my brain
 it's like, I want to play video games
 so I can compete, play seriously
 and do all this stuff
 and now
 I don't ever want to think at all playing a game.
 Like, I don't really wanna play... I use it to decompress! Yeah! My brain's
 turned off all the time? Exactly! Yeah! I just don't wanna have to like plan
 things out, think things out. Like i just want to play a game and just
 chill so yeah now you're a cozy goober well i don't even really like the cozy games because
 then they have like all these annoying systems and it's just boring.
 I just want to play something that's
 relaxing.
 Any game that I have to
 actively focus
 on and take seriously,
 I immediately lose interest in it.
 And especially games
 that have reverse progress.
 For me,
 that's one of those
 super, super negatives
 where if I can ever
 reverse progress in a game
 and lose a lot of my time
 when that happens to me
 I think about the time that I lost
 and what I could have been doing instead with that time. And I feel like the game
 took it away from me, and it wasted my time,
 and then I quit the game. That's what happens
 to me. Competitive games are dead?
 Well...
 I mean, I think competitive games are really popular.
 It's just that I'm not playing
 them.
 The thing is, like, I know that if
 I played a game a lot, competitively,
 I would be good at the game. For sure. Just like anybody
 would be. But being good at a
 video game because you play it all the time
 isn't really an accomplishment for somebody
 who's over the age of 20
 or 25. This is something yeah if you're a young guy
 of course this is what you want to do but look i mean you get older and for me i just feel like
 i can accomplish something in real life that matters more to me.
 I've already had accomplishments in video games before as a kid,
 so if I... like who gives
 a fuck? Really, like, who cares?
 And it's weird
 for me to say this, right?
 And it really is because
 I remember how motivated I used to be
 to farm things out,
 to grind. And now
 I just don't have that energy at all!
 Like literal fucking negative energy
 to like anytime I've got to grind something out or farm for
 something i'm just like oh jesus christ they're
 gonna do this again trump banned uh twitch band trump
 already there's no way they banned him.
 Why am I even looking at this?
 I... I can't believe this.
 I'm such a piece of shit.
 I deserve that.
 You're not even getting banned.
 That's my fault.
 I can't believe that.
 I'm so stupid for even taking that seriously.
 Yeah, I couldn't find it.
 Yeah, there you go. I quit the first ascendant too much grinding. Well,
 I enjoyed that game. I think it's a fun game to play but
 overall this is just the way that I felt right
 Is that
 I don't really find like a lot of
 enjoyment or fulfillment out of playing video games in the same way that I used to.
 Because, the accomplishments that I get in the games don't matter to me because I kind of know that it's just a game.
 And I've already had...
 I think also I've had those accomplishments
 before.
 And whenever...
 I think video games are a really great place for
 like a young guy especially like if you're 16 let's say you're 16 and you're looking for
 like a way to kind of put yourself out there and a way to take things seriously.
 Video games are
 pretty much your only place that you can
 be taken seriously.
 It's weird to think about it, but I think
 it's true.
 That's the only way that like you can have people like you can be good at
 something in a general sense sports too
 yeah yeah maybe sports i mean i never played sports so i can't really speak to that
 in our life uh real life got interesting yeah maybe
 and so yeah i think that's kind of what happened right? Is uh...
 Raiding when I was 15. Yeah like whenever I was raiding back then it's weird
 because I think back on it and I was just so happy. I was so fucking happy,
 so positive about it
 And I can't imagine feeling that way anymore
 Because you're doing good in the game
 You're doing good in real life? Yeah
 Hmm Yeah. At 16,
 as an athlete, you're not going to get paid unless
 you're in gaming? Yeah, exactly.
 You're not really getting paid or anything like that either, you're right
 Do you consider Elden Ring a relaxing game?
 I know this sounds
 crazy but I absolutely do
 I think Elden Ring is
 a very relaxing game
 i can chill
 i can play the game
 i know the game
 it's not a big deal
 yeah
 i just don't like to have to um
 in a way
 like any time that
 I have to lock-in
 to focus on a game,
 I immediately am like, oh no.
 Because I feel like whenever
 I have to use my brain
 and start thinking,
 I feel like I'm working.
 You know?
 Like now I'm working.
 I'm not... I'm no longer playing this for fun, I'm not trying to relax
 or decompressing
 Now I'm working
 and that's different
 And so that is the way I look at it
 yeah lost arc aware?
 yeah definitely
 no the ring is stressing you out bad
 you weren't sure if you were going to finish
 the DLC at some point
 yeah I mean of course right
 because sometimes and that's the thing is i had to
 lock in to focus into dlc that's that's really the truth i had to walk in like cause the dlc's hard
 it is it's hard and so like i found a way that I could just play it
 like a brain dead idiot anyway right?
 That's always what I do but if
 actually do have to focus
 I am not having fun
 You don't enjoy Valorant? No, I don't.
 Yeah, I just have no brain power left by the time
 I get a chance to game? Yeah exactly
 Do you think it's a product of excess dopamine
 Excess dopamine from gaming over the years? No, I think its actually the opposite Do you think it's a product of excess dopamine
 from gaming over the years?
 No, I think it's actually the opposite.
 I think it's because I've played games
 a lot over the years that...
 Cause I think it's like so
 and maybe you guys can probably relate to this where it's
 how many of you guys have played a competitive
 game at a very high level
 and the first time that you reached
 whatever your apex rank was
 you felt really, really great about that.
 But then the second
 time that you did it and the third
 time that you did it, it didn't feel
 the same. It's like okay
 I did this now. Alright there it is and so that's i think what happened with me
 how about poe it's so much to learn yeah it's fun to play the game absolutely do you separate
 locking in because you're focused
 versus locking in because you're in the zone and having fun?
 I don't really have that happen, to be honest with you.
 Rank 190, Gears of War 2?
 Yeah, it's just not really my thing.
 Did you have rank 1?
 I've never got rank 1 in a while.
 I've never really been very good at playing PvP.
 Yep, chasing the initial high
 from whenever I was young. exactly usually i reach the highest
 i can and i move to another game yeah maybe it's just like for me that's the way that i felt about
 it and like i've had a lot of games that I've been playing, like, off and on.
 But I'm looking for a game right now
 that I can, like, really play a lot
 because I went really hard
 and I played Weathering Waves a lot
 and I played the shit out of that game.
 And then I played The First Descendant
 a lot, 75 hours
 pretty often
 and also once human
 you know level 50 in that
 did all that stuff and I I'm kind of just looking for like
 that next big game to play
 and I'm going to probably try and play that swarm
 game tomorrow and just kind of get
 into that.
 I don't know, Pal World?
 Yeah, I played a little bit of Pal World but like
 I pretty much finished everything
 other than a few raids in Pal World
 You're playing Swarm? Now borrow a level 30 account so you can skip tutorial?
 Tutorial shouldn't be that long,
 right? I mean, I don't know.
 Yeah, I have no idea. Please try
 Warframe? I don't really want to try...
 Like, I mean...
 If I was going to invest
 into a new game and like
 play a new game seriously
 what would I really want to play?
 Um.
 I don't know, like there's a big part of me
 like I'm not even really feeling like I want to fully invest into playing a new live service long-term game.
 I feel like I'm kind of
 already capped
 out on those.
 Yeah,
 I'm thinking
 about maybe
 PoE,
 right?
 But that's
 not...
 That's
 kind of
 an ongoing thing I've been playing, right? But like that's not... That's kind of an ongoing thing I've been playing.
 Right? Play a story game? Yeah.
 Maybe.
 Devil May Cry 5.
 I think I'm going to try out...
 What I'm going to do is download that Swarm game. I was gonna
 play it today.
 The reason why is I had plans
 later on today to do stuff and so
 I didn't want to like kind of have to cut this short
 because I had to go do stuff.
 I think
 I'm probably going to just try it out
 and play it tomorrow,
 and if I try it tomorrow,
 I think that would be the best idea and then uh like for no i know people are
 asking about no man's sky i'm trying to think is there any reason for me not to
 try no man's Sky this week coming up.
 I'm really trying to think about it.
 PoE?
 Yeah, but that's not
 going to be for a while.
 Like if I
 tried it on like Tuesday or something like that...
 That would give me three days
 to play the game.
 Yeah. I'm thinking
 yeah, PoE six days for PoE update.
 I feel like that's a pretty good amount of time
 just playing it. It's not that big of a deal.
 Yeah, maybe I should
 do that.
 Don't forget Peppered.
 You know what? You're right.
 That's actually a really good point.
 I said I was going to play that game, and
 I didn't do it.
 Let me make sure that I have that downloaded.
 ... This is the game, right?
 No.
 It's actually fuck
 so okay good i have it downloaded now so whenever it comes time i will play it.
 There it is, easy! You played the old Assassin's Creed games? Yeah.
 What about new genre?
 Yeah, it's a small scale game etc.
 Master designer Don John went to work on your house through the night by the way oh god
 i'm trying to move i'm trying to move my house somewhere where i can get like more of the star
 dust but yeah and it's got some sale yeah i'm probably just gonna probably just going But yeah.
 Someone's got some sale?
 Yeah, I'm probably just going to chill for a bit eat some food and relax
 I have plans later on today
 I was going to hang out with a friend
 that I haven't hung out with for a while
 so probably go do that,
 and I think tomorrow we're going to do Swarm.
 I'm going to download it
 and play it for Sunday.
 I'll hang out and talk for a little bit
 and then we'll call it a day.
 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Would you recommend playing PoE now?
 Yeah. Absolutely.
 What do you think was the trigger for you to move on from hardcore gaming into reacts, just chatting etc?
 Um... I don't know because people like watching it.
 Really?
 Also age.
 There's also... WoW just isn't as interesting
 as it used to be, right?
 If I go, I look up
 on Wowhead
 and
 I feel like the game is kind of
 boring,
 basically.
 It's like a lot of the news
 and stuff like this is just
 kind of...
 Yeah, it's formulaic. It feels very formulaic.
 Red Dead Redemption 2? Will it ever happen? Maybe.
 Have you seen Oopaville? I will probably
 watch it tomorrow, okay?
 I can't go back to WoW? I can! Of course
 I can. It's just that like
 of the three
 main types of gameplay that wow has i don't really enjoy any of those three
 i don't really enjoy the uh what do you call it i don't enjoy pvp i don't enjoy it? I don't enjoy PvP.
 I don't enjoy raiding.
 I don't enjoy Mythic Plus.
 And,
 and I think the game is like
 just too sweaty
 and complex
 and
 I just don't want to
 invest that much thinking into the game and I just don't want to invest that much thinking into the game.
 And I don't think that that thinking rewards me in a way
 that I feel good about.
 Do you POE self-bound build,
 no matter how long it takes?
 No,
 I'm not going to do
 self-bound.
 Uh,
 I just,
 I like trading.
 Like,
 I'm not going to take
 handouts if that's what
 you mean,
 right?
 Because I feel like
 if you take handouts
 in a game like PoE
 you uh,
 like ruin the game but other than that yeah no i'm fine with
 that and i never have either no i never have same with diablo i don't take handouts in either one
 of those games well i was doing well on twitch to be honest yeah it is and like that's the thing
 is like wow has its own audience it's just that i don't feel like i'm part of it
 that's really the best way that I can explain it.
 For me, it's the cartoon aesthetic. Can't buy into WoW? Yeah sure.
 My own opinion on this one is... Yeah, sure. Am I going to play Pantheon Rise of the Fallen? Absolutely not!
 It is a literal garbage game.
 I can't believe anybody thinks it's anything more than garbage.
 It's absolute trash. Everything about it's anything more than garbage. It's absolute trash.
 Everything about it is bad.
 Yeah, that's
 worse than Evercraft 1.
 It's just literal terrible.
 So yeah, still a thing yeah i guess so i had no idea but now trump's his dreamer what do you
 think his main game should be? Probably just chatting.
 Let me see if he goes on discount, yeah.
 I'll have to send him an extra while but it never gets him into the game.
 Will he play Space Marine 2? I will.
 I will play Space Marine 2.
 Right now,
 I'm kind of in like a weird spot
 where like a lot of games came out
 and I played through all of them
 and like I'm just kind of waiting
 for something else to come out
 that I'm like really interested in playing again
 that's the way i see it and i think that for me i'm just going to uh
 i'm gonna just probably pick out some games and
 just figure pick out some games and uh
 just figure it out you still play wayfinder off stream i haven't played it uh at all actually ever since the update
 but yeah anyway guys uh i'm gonna probably go and eat something just relax chill out for a little
 bit and uh yeah i'll be back on tomorrow and we are going to play swarm tomorrow i was going
 do it today but again i had plans so yeah we're going to do it today, but again, I had plans. So yeah,
 we're going to do it tomorrow and get into
 it. So thank you guys very much for watching. I really
 appreciate it. And until next time boys
 peace.
