[SPEAKER_04]: I was not feeling too hot during the week, but I feel great today.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll probably lie down afterwards, but surprisingly, I was able to not fall behind on work.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's one of the things I hate when,
[SPEAKER_04]: My iron deficiency acts up and I can't really do much of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like I'm slugging behind, but I did not Because I've been very proactive this year with you know doing a little bit of work each day So as I worked today, I'm like dang I finished this stuff pretty quick But then I remember get on Monday.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did this on Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did that Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did this and then you know Thursday Everything came crashing down Yeah, I was I've been out from Thursday to like in the evening yesterday, but
[SPEAKER_04]: do it a lot better yeah a ton of water and vitamins helped my other vitamins came in so I was a little worried I was like is my respawn got to come in in time but I was still able to finish to sponge Bob festival
[SPEAKER_04]: because I was afraid I was going to miss it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got my special alarm platform, you know, the his little alarm, the giant one, the SpongeBob festival is.
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, some cross worlds.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's the him and Patrick are playable characters and son of Grayson Carlson.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's random.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you get the characters like do you earn them or like get to like buy them?
[SPEAKER_04]: So SpongeBob and Patrick, they're paid DLC, free DLC are all the SEGA IP, so like Joker from Persona had to name EQ, Hibon, they just announced nights.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whisper in, I forgot the other goes name, Tangle, I think Tangle was the other person thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I, from Super Monkey Ball as the upcoming free DLC, I'm in, you know, Mega Man and Teenage Teen Ninja Turtles and the Avatar are coming as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we don't, oh yeah, Mega Man and Pro-Deman are the two characters that gonna have.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm super excited for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: What I like is that with all the DLC characters they've added they get this cute little festival you get a cool car if they're I think it's only paid DLC where you get a new track and then
[SPEAKER_04]: some remix music so you can, I had heard the sponge Bob song in my play through yet, which might be a good thing because those races were pretty intense.
[SPEAKER_04]: And here you are hearing, hearing the little band join a background, definitely will not help the intensity of those races, but overall it's been pretty dope.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's got that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, but you do a pop.
[SPEAKER_06]: What?
[SPEAKER_01]: yo the person that always gets it looks like he's about to have a heart attack every every weekend and during football season because his team is just on a rollercoaster thing like an inadvertent winning streak to call it just came doing it to keep him through please please w it is it's the five star general of the 80 bitty smitty committee I got smitty in the third scene what's going on my dude
[SPEAKER_07]: As you alluded to had a hard tag with the bear's game, they pull it out, beat the Steelers.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, game wise, I enjoyed.
[SPEAKER_07]: I finished up dispatch that I really enjoyed that.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was a lot of, that was a lot of fun, um, just to play through and, and all that.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that was cool and, um, who did you end up being with in that one?
[SPEAKER_01]: I tried being with both.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you tried on you with two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't I'm playing both sides on the fence?
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like a slick Rick man, I swear, yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, it was good play through though, it was a lot of fun, so I enjoyed it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I knew I would to when I first saw it, I was like, oh, this seems awesome.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Kudos on their success for that because it healed a lot of fun to place.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's amazing that that game has gotten over sold 2 million units, that's that's great.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's great, you know, I love it, I love it, give for them.
[SPEAKER_07]: I love games like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, and it's like it's funny because like that one focused a lot on their story rather than their their their I mean the game mechanics were fun, but it wasn't like There it wasn't rocket science game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, it was just simple, you know things that allow you to do during the narrative the most important thing was a story and I really I really did enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, now that's awesome man.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad you enjoyed playing it
[SPEAKER_01]: I was I really wish I saw the I saw it saw your choices.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just kid just a bad to what you chose Yeah, yeah, no, it was good.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what about you?
[SPEAKER_01]: How is your week?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, as for me, I've just I've been messing around trying to figure out how to play super same for Giga Vegeta in squadra been having been
[SPEAKER_01]: irritated to craziness because of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I kind of pop back in the rivals because I'm really trying to get to a certain rank so I can get something specifically.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've come to the understanding that I now suck at that game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it is, uh, it stinks, but yeah, but then I'm also, I also started my playthrough of Expedition 33 again.
[SPEAKER_01]: So nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: So cuz like I wanted I decided after talking to a friend like I really need a hundred percent this game And this gonna be my first RPG I would ever try mine to try though.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm sorry I took it back persona with persona five was the one but I haven't I haven't hundred percent an RPG in a while So I was like this is the good one to do so
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we afford to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so look forward to that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but um other than that, I mean, there's that really wasn't it really wasn't a very truly eventful week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank god.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the past wow, past yeah, and haunt has been just wild of just all different kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but we will let's get into it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I know you have to want to listen.
[SPEAKER_01]: to me rambling on and messing up the intro like I did earlier.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's go through the normal rig and roll that we like to do each and every week.
[SPEAKER_01]: So each of us chooses a topic or discussion in the world of video games, the topic would or could be a game itself or something that happened in the gaming industry.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we do not want to talk about it amongst ourselves.
[SPEAKER_01]: We want you the listeners and viewers on Twitch on the CFG games and on YouTube at the CFG to be a part of the conversation as always.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if there's something that you're wanting to chime in by all means, just type it inside the chat and we will talk with you and go from there.
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go with my topic first and then I'm going to talk about that this past week the golden joystick awards which is really the big the first of the big awards for video games that happened this week
[SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me, wow, and that happened or the later at the last week and who's to say that, like, I don't think anyone would surprise.
[SPEAKER_01]: Clare obscure exhibitions in the three sweat all the, the, the, the, the, the, most of their categories that they were nominated in.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they won seven awards there, but some of these things had were very interesting and then I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: some categories of it was actually something that I think that the game awards really do because some of these like I agree with and some of them I really don't and so I'm just going to go down the line and show you the bit the big winners of it and tell me what you think about uh tell me if you agree or disagree with it I mean we don't have to go through each one but we'll we'll go through
[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, so no surprise, best storytelling, Claire of Secure, the Expedition 33, one, uh, one that hands down, um, uh, best multiplayer was peak.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I still haven't played that game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you, have you, have you, have you, have you played it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, but I've seen it, but it makes, it makes sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: From, from what I've seen, it definitely makes sense.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, cuz like because the nominees of that was Battlefield 6 Elden Ring night reign split fiction Mario Kart world in rematch And I think a peek at them all that that's I mean, it's awesome that they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it looks fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It does like fun though
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... let's see best visual design was clear obscure exhibition three best indie game which i am surprised was blue prints blue prints is a good game but to say that things yeah to say that that beat freaking uh... silk song is crazy
[SPEAKER_01]: to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But oh, wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, never mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So apparently there's two different categories.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's best indie game and best indie game self-published.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Sips on one that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what, I mean, I guess it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess they do more self-published, but because it's their own company, but okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the difference.
[SPEAKER_01]: Still playing award.
[SPEAKER_01]: PC, you know what that's what that's what that's your one thing is hilarious.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a story.
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to that's exactly what they need to have because there's this games inside the game awards that is still that they still get awards just because they exist.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this would be a perfect blood.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the one that won this was minecraft.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you if you care, the nominees were dead by daylight held divers to Naraka Blade points, sads factory, Call of Duty Warzone, Marvel rivals, Fortnight, Apex Legends, Rainbow Six, GTA Online and Warframe.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they had way too many people in these nominations.
[SPEAKER_01]: And
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, and Marvel rivals is not even a year old.
[SPEAKER_01]: So how is it still playing?
[SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking that this is like older games has been around for a while, but I digress still playing award for mobile was Pokemon go best remake and remaster was elder scrolls for oblivion remaster I haven't played that version have any of y'all played that
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never played another scrolls, you know, I've never played Eso, but I kind of don't count that, but yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I've never played another scrolls game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the one I'm surprised that I beat was a milk or solid delta.
[SPEAKER_01]: I Really yeah, that that's the one yeah that was well there's others, but like That was the one that thought was going to be close to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_01]: This was I mean to say that a Haiti's two was on that list is pretty interesting
[SPEAKER_01]: console game of the year ghost of yote, which is interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, okay, so I guess here were the nominees for that one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Donkey Kong, Benanza, Monster Hunter Wildes, Death Stranding 2 on the beach, Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, and Mario Kart World.
[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, guys?
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be tough.
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be a tough one.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I guess.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a tough one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I know where Smittie's vote would be.
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be Mario Kart, but yeah, but wilds, I don't think wilds wouldn't be a Death Stranding.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the choices would have been between Death Stranding, Donkey Kong, and Ghost.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ghost of Yote.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how Ghost of Yote is, so I don't really have an opinion on it, but we'll see.
[SPEAKER_01]: Best early access game was repo which people have been begging me to play that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I still have not I think we need to play it when you and me spend together Wow best gaming hardware.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a spot AMD Ryzen the 90
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I was the same did Smithy for this dead strand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you really have to ask that do you Yeah, you're right, you're right.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm surprised.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got further.
[SPEAKER_07]: I did last time.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a sign of something.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not a sign of what no one is that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like progress Kind of progress.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's exactly right.
[SPEAKER_02]: When did you start this day last year?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh Okay, okay, fair enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what the damn of these were for the best hardware was Nintendo switch to the switch to pro controller What kind of crap it okay?
[SPEAKER_01]: Nintendo switch to the switch to pro controller the WD black SN8100 NVMe SSD so the hard drive
[SPEAKER_01]: or the algado face camp 4k or the razor blade 60.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so all right, throw this category away.
[SPEAKER_04]: They messed up.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's was a garbage.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's ruined.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Tomacachi.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there we go, best game adaptation, best game adaptation.
[SPEAKER_01]: So a game that turned into a TV series or movie, which was arcane season 2, which that came out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you expect me to leave arcane beat?
[SPEAKER_03]: Keanu Reeves?
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, wait, when did arcane season 2 come out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Did that come out last year?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, yeah, why is it even, which made it ineligible for the game awards last year.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the same thing that happened.
[SPEAKER_04]: What's signing will be three.
[SPEAKER_01]: It must have been after the cut off line for last year.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're expecting to be arcane season two.
[SPEAKER_04]: Be Keanu Reeves.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, let's see, we have led you last of a season two.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm going to read.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it'd be last of a season two.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll probably with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I haven't fished yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the nominations.
[SPEAKER_01]: The nominations were Devil May Cry.
[SPEAKER_01]: The last of us season two, a Minecraft movie, secret level, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
[SPEAKER_04]: that is crazy game awards doesn't have son of movie three because arcane isn't up there either all the other nominees are there for the game awards i see what they're doing i don't want to impute my days they're trying to give that a word away because either league or kiana would win play dark way have you played arc have you watched arcane
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I'll only play League.
[SPEAKER_00]: You should watch our game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great series.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great series.
[SPEAKER_04]: He had someone spoiled the entire thing because he made me something that I wanted to know.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I, if I had to go between our k and season two, I was, it could, you're right.
[SPEAKER_01]: So on the catch, I three is definitely up in the, yeah, it would have been up in the, the conversation.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know if it beats our k and season two season two was pretty heavy.
[SPEAKER_04]: it was there was a was extremely heavy to wear sonic had more character development in that movie than he's had in any recent 3D.
[SPEAKER_04]: But you don't know that compared the market.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, well, you know what, Sonic, yeah, may have had a development, but it's still done to be our kids.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in tears level of development.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in tears level level level level level level.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm not even, I'm not even arguing for a Sonic at this case.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's literally Keanu Reeves was shadowed the hedgehog.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, that's what marketed the movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not enough to say that.
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got a winner, but the winner is the winner.
[SPEAKER_04]: Say that when the owners were packed, they have people next to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could clearly say that, because guess who won the best adaptation?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm talking about with Sonic movie three, well, like, they've been marketing, like, it kind of leaves a shadow work.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, definitely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, it's kind of really, I love kind of leaves.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which is why I'm just like, league, the piano leaves.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Best game time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've heard of her great things about our cane.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just after I got to what, like, I had both seasons spoiled by the way, like, after you didn't do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I just, I was like,
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to stop hanging out with your friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that feeling.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's terrible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Funny thing is they weren't even my friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a friend of a friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they were talking about it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And my friend was just like, oh, she hasn't seen it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then he's just, they kept talking about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did it twice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my goodness.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the system, because we were playing league.
[SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't leave the call or anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: We needed Tom's.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I didn't want to get beat up in my mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why we will never play league again.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, end up as best game trailer was GTA 6 trailer 2.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even remember that one, but okay, I'm see these are the ones I kind of look Was the second trailer the one that got like 10 million views or whatever and like one hour or less a hour or something that's the one That is the one Yeah, that's crazy Most wanted game dear God, okay, it's GTA 6.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I might have got through the list of of of
[SPEAKER_01]: of nominees, but there were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16 games that they put on this list for most wanted game to compete.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's way too much.
[SPEAKER_04]: For breaking singles because I'm not about to like look this up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Was Kingdom Hearts 4 on the list?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was on the list, either our core was on the list, when you should all know that it's not a decade yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it should not clearly be on that list, not anytime soon.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that is crazy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's not even on the list for 2020.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you stick to the K1 nominee?
[SPEAKER_01]: That is, I hate these.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate these categories every time most wanted game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So basically, you get the word because you're the hype.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're getting it because of the hype, whatever.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's basically the marketing of the world, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it is, it is, that we have any 20, 20, six releases on there, like only those shows.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: Marvel's what we mean, okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: The president of the old, they had a Batman, like the Batman James, the new James Bond.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there was some of them.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they had, they had the ones that made sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: Keena, I just had to ask.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Keena Hearts is just a weird one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, come on, anyway, they wouldn't know this.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's like a bad anytime soon.
[SPEAKER_04]: as to see many in general and then that's just like it's like somebody didn't want to hurt him by his feelings that's what he said most anticipated makes sense but at the same time okay but another category could work
[SPEAKER_01]: most wanted game.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that is the most subjective of all the subjects that you could really go with.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, so basically, the panel of like five people, five people that they get a lit, I'm not saying it's really high, but like, I guess the wording on it, I have to refer most anticipated since like anticipated means that there's hype built around it, but most wanted doesn't really make sense as a title for a category.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you should just, I would just just remove it or just take it out or you could put like, uh, hyperveal or something.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys would just give an award for like the best reveal trailer.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the ultimate game of the year was obviously peak.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just kidding.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it was clear.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was clear.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just didn't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm almost who I was going to say, what the hell is that in the yard attacking me?
[SPEAKER_04]: What have been years now?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Peak is at the same level as the expedition and the silk song itself, I'm sorry, that's what it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the honorable mentions the critics choice of awards was the the critics choice was Donkey Kong Pananzo one that breakthrough award was schedule one the Hall of Fame was the Sims franchise and streamer's choice with the streamer's choice award for the game was peak so yeah, I mean, overall they did a really good job.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I some of this stuff like some of these trash spots like the hardware best hardware is really random and
[SPEAKER_04]: This hardware would make sense if they actually picked.
[SPEAKER_04]: It makes no sense to put a switch to up against an M.2, like...
[SPEAKER_04]: He's supposed for real.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's not even fair.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not even fair.
[SPEAKER_04]: And second of all, the M.2 would be better because I don't know any switch that can read.
[SPEAKER_04]: So whatever the the read speed is on whatever end I too they nominated it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know was at the gym for the gym five one Because it was the gym five.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, because the gym five's read over like 14,000 I mean, I don't even know dude like I did I just think that when you're when you're going to be saying best hardware And such a blanket of statement then you have random things like that like heart like wow You know piecing a part of a inside of a PC to a console a laptop a camera and
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I mean, it's just like, if they're doing the camera, you could just like do like best string gear, like, come on.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then even then you wouldn't be able to nominate that much stuff for best dream gear because it's not like a lot of new products are coming out every single year, maybe like every two years, but you know, not not often.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really weird anyway, yeah, but I mean, yeah, that was a bad, that was a bad spot, but I will say some of these categories are very similar to what they do at Tokyo Game Show with the Japan Game Awards, which we won't know what the 2025 stuff is for Japan until September
[SPEAKER_04]: But, I mean, unfortunately, Expedition 33 has already qualified.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they got the Breakthrough Award at DJ Pan Game Awards.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, it'll be interesting to see what Japan nominates as their 2025 game of the year next year.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, with the lineup.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gumby the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's what it's going to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my god, the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my god, the game.

[SPEAKER_07]: They've the diver, absolutely fabulous game.
[SPEAKER_07]: I love that we love the story, love the gameplay about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So they announced, not only they just launched on Xbox, but they also announced a DLC.
[SPEAKER_07]: They've the diver in the jungle.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be on land.
[SPEAKER_07]: It looks like similar things is going to be a major DLC.
[SPEAKER_07]: for the game.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm pumped about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's supposed to be coming out.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know, I've seen late 25, but I've also seen early 2026.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm not 100% sure when exactly it's supposed to be coming out.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's no price on it either.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm guessing probably like 20 bucks.
[SPEAKER_01]: You think so?
[SPEAKER_01]: This is an expansion or is this a game?
[SPEAKER_07]: Is
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'd be an expansion item, magic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if it's the opposite to the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that'll be pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, wait.
[SPEAKER_01]: 2025.
[SPEAKER_01]: My goodness.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's seemed, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I seem to kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll say, late 2025, early 2026.
[SPEAKER_07]: Regardless, take my money because I'm absolutely getting it again.
[SPEAKER_07]: I play this on the portal went through a primarily on the portal.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's just a good fun game that you don't have to take too seriously, but it has like a fun story, there's all kinds of like crossovers and references and things like that, like it's just like it's a game that like
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not what you expect, you know, you see something on the surface and it ends up being something kind of different than what you anticipate going into it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's kind of really what I enjoyed about the game.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I just wanted to see if you guys had played it, if anybody's excited about it or plans on picking this up, this got me this got me punk.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a question for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: With account, if I played the knee cave version of the die, the die, the die.
[SPEAKER_07]: Graming, I don't know, like what did you do?
[SPEAKER_07]: What did he do in Nick A?
[SPEAKER_01]: It was basically the characters, it's a more epic story.
[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't play as Dave, you played as some of Nicky, certain Nicky's that were, and they did the exact same thing Dave was doing, which was going underwater, kick you fish, they had the oxygen tank and stuff, and then you take it back to the surface, and then you have the sushi chef to cook back to the big.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the characters were like the servers that were helping give the meals out.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's how the game is normally, but yeah,
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no, that's essentially the game right there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but there's like a story and all that stuff is well and there's like, there's a ton to do, but yes, it's great because you basically fish in the fish that you catch, you then at night serve people at a restaurant that does sushi.
[SPEAKER_07]: You build out like a menu and like this in the
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, how long of a game is that?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the game's like 10 bucks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, it was probably like, I'd say like 15 to 18 hours.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, why is?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it was good, it felt like it didn't feel rushed, but it didn't feel like it was taking forever, either.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll be able to take a casual pace at it and just casually made my way through a story and never got stuck or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, it was pretty chill.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even even let the kiddos do some fishing here and there as well, you know, so It's just, yeah, it's just a fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just a fun game.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been reading the, I'm sorry, we could say pop.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I want to try it only because I remember the like a dragon DLC getting announced and they like added more mini games from the like a dragon series like I think I don't know if each one's playable or a piece just Someone else that just hangs out in the game while you're playing as Dave, but
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I have been interested.
[SPEAKER_04]: Another thing that like peek my interest in the game shoutouts to Settie, who we've rated before.
[SPEAKER_04]: After our little shame digger, he played Dave the Diver and I know what Smitty knows this when you're at the sushi spot.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a song that plays on my home on.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did not know this game had good music.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is underrated.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I, it's it's on.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's on my steam, which was bad.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a I got a good.
[SPEAKER_04]: I might snag it with it being on the, um, with the whole Black Friday, uh, it's not on.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was going to say they probably will have some sort of deals going on for sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's 10 dollars right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I totally think it's worth it 100% and if you I know that music has me sold Yeah, if you go on what's called greman gaming and you see FG you're gonna even more shit more of a discount with that Look at that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: There it is I'm glad I know now
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it's a good one.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's definitely one that I want to throw on people's radar and they just had me when I saw that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, yes, so you'd like sold instantly.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I will get that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I will play through that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you watch the whole thing, like the whole Xbox showcase, partner showcase?
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't, I can't most of it live.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I did watch a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, was there anything that was, so I didn't watch it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was there anything that was that was any appealing to it?
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, there were here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not big in a soul's like, and it seems like there's a lot of...
[SPEAKER_07]: souls like again and I just kind of tune out on that stuff they look pretty there was one now like in like a crazy ass like big boss fight and they're like going in and out of portals to different like landscape like it looks nice that's how it's about like that looks insane but like not my type of game but like I would watch somebody play that game.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would love to watch somebody play that game.
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm definitely playing that game and that comes out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk to them.
[SPEAKER_07]: You streaming.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll watch it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll be there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let me know, brother.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is good.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I mean, so yeah, I looked dope.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it looks so wild to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I cannot wait to win what that comes out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do they have a, do they give a date or do they, uh, do they just?
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't remember.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't remember if there is a date or not, there was.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, there was, uh, I can't remember there was something else to.
[SPEAKER_07]: That there's a couple.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, there was one that like in the art side was thought was kind of crazy or something, it was a sequel though.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm and I wrote down to play to see if I could find the original, but the art style is really crazy in it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I was like, I don't know what's going on here, but this looks interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, yeah, I'm just taking the look.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they had the first light.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did they show more on first light, uh, 007?
[SPEAKER_01]: That looks like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be nice.
[SPEAKER_07]: They just did, uh, here's the car that we're pairing with with James Bond, the Ashton Martin is iconic.
[SPEAKER_07]: James Bond, it was a national martin collection.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing a hitman world of assassins of M&M.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: If I could forget that, I'd tell you, like I totally forgot that I was a part of that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to like, I felt embarrassed, and I, and I, the second hand embarrassed me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, well, dude, I think it's great that you're getting into video games and shit, but like,
[SPEAKER_07]: What what is going on?
[SPEAKER_07]: He's trying to over to get in at a hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: Poppy had to get in at a hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Slim shady versus to be exact.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I said.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Eminem versus Slim shady.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what's called the world of Assets.
[SPEAKER_01]: Eminem is with you is helping you to take out Slim shady.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is, that'll be, that's really funny.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're right, I can't believe that's across over dude.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you got the head to totally right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like what?
[SPEAKER_07]: Like what?
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like excuse me.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's helping you to take himself out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Technically, yes and no.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Eminem is basically the rapper.
[SPEAKER_01]: He, it's like a, it's persona, he has a persona.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always been like a completely different personality.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's kind of like a mixture of Tyler Dirton, you know, from Fight Club, that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like two people more.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was splitting it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so no, so it comes out December 1st apparently.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it comes out next week.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Eminem is the rapper and he's trying to take out his persona, Slim Shady.
[SPEAKER_01]: They remember even the last his last album that that the Slim Shady, which is weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it was really funny to me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: I totally forgot that I wasn't
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, there's nothing like groundbreaking about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a 30 minute showcase.
[SPEAKER_07]: They do.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think there was an extraction shooter that they showed too.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't like, everybody's leaning into the extraction shooter like John are in one eye.
[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, Tarkov 1.0 also released, I think I said some about last time.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every play.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have not yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: I still have not yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just installed it last night actually.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was going to play.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I was like, Oh, I thought I installed this already.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I didn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like I didn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I end the plane like we're laying for something like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, they just got to know got through a different game though.
[SPEAKER_01]: It gave me having touch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I mean, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got something that you're missing with your back.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're back catalog.
[SPEAKER_07]: So trying trying to yes, recall some things here and there and whatnot.
[SPEAKER_07]: We played some dictionary on Netflix last night as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got to say to you, it has a family thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm enjoying these Netflix games and being able to just connect with a phone and whatnot.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you like it's been great?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tarko.
[SPEAKER_01]: They can take pictures as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Poppy Hendrix says Tarkoff.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was like, we got
[SPEAKER_07]: I know here's the thing and it's gonna be nothing but pain.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know it dude.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like I played it at PAX West I couldn't even barely get out the the beginning area.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was ridiculous I like they grouped us with people dude like I was the first person to die at a every body and Like I just go ahead without me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm only gonna hold you guys back
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't force yourself.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I mean, like I said there for damn here an hour made myself late for my next appointment like it was bad It was frustrating.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm almost 2,000 hours in Tarkov.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, we'd be my friends.
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't need to do you do you have it
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Docs retired has to be about this one time.
[SPEAKER_01]: See, and this is the problem I have with Tarkov is now 1.0.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tarkov 1.0 just came out.
[SPEAKER_01]: This game has been in like early access for 10 years, which is why it's in 10 years, and the real question is how much different, like, is it really different than what people have been playing for the past decade?
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think that's what the gambit is that people that had played throughout those 10 years is like this was not a major enough DLC or update to make people come back in one night.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've don't get me wrong.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've seen people say good things too, but like I've seen negatives about it just not being media enough.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know the major things that they finished the campaign, which I didn't even know I had a campaign.
[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't know that down again at PAX West.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, excuse me.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was like, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it was still pain.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was still pain though.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like I think it might have even been worse.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't see anybody, I can't see the damn bullet.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's crazy, dude.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, that was crazy, I was like, this is, I am not built for this game, dude.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's too bad for me.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like everything like that, I just can't do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The more you talk about Tarkov, the more it just seems like you need to just go to our creators, dude, seriously.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would agree with the talk about the poppy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Here's my thing, though, it's like, I don't know if,
[SPEAKER_07]: I like extraction cheaters.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Number one, I would never have guessed that from you.
[SPEAKER_01]: You play it a lot of different extraction.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's the thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: What extraction cheater in my deuce drama, that am I playing?
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the, no, not now.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what was the one that you were playing with Donk that you're all having issues with, was it, was it scum, was it, was it an extraction cheater?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, that's just survival game.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's not an extraction cheater.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it the one that was the hour having issues with like, like when when something goes on fire, you couldn't put it out.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_07]: No more love our graders.
[SPEAKER_07]: I see people playing it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It looks like a ton of fun
[SPEAKER_01]: All the issue that would scale is like It's all crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's crazy.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, NT is deep.
[SPEAKER_07]: NT is deep in that game now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: The clan leader.
[SPEAKER_07]: They they punk this dude at the dean of try to punk them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, they came up and I took over their clan and just like, Dude, they got like crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just oh my god, they do the stop of this though hunt showdown now has post balloon in it now that you're you don't as it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm saying to you like he's crazy Like I just can't like they're trying to take this fortnight model of like Fortnight makes it work, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like would you gotta do it and just slap and slap and some random ass characters into this universe at like
[SPEAKER_01]: why they're going way too crazy is literally just a cell what we're going to say pop
[SPEAKER_04]: I was going to say, you know what's wild?
[SPEAKER_04]: People were, uh, when Carlos World's got announced on a racing crossroads got announced there was just like, oh, they're using a fortnight model is not going to work.
[SPEAKER_04]: And now you have people turning their Minecraft cars into the freaking Amazon prime boxes like there's a way to make it work if you have the right community for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: The meme wild.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks like try and borrow this formula do not have communities that are that creative.
[SPEAKER_04]: No offense.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's not just the community, though, too.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's also the matter of greed, because I mean, like, when you see, like, if you tolerate, I mean, if you do these, if you make certain, like, expectations to your community to do certain things, like that, then it's like a nice treat.
[SPEAKER_01]: But like when you end up like Francis Call of Duty when you have freaking Seth Rogan as one of your playable characters and Nicki Minaj Then you have WWE wrestlers in the game that's about war.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like what the fricker y'all doing here You know, it just gets great.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, that tell me that's not true rainbow six each has Madonna no stop it You don't have Madonna
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm an idiot for reading that out loud.
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be hilarious if like they had his music marked in though a little bit like it they're supposed to get the doors and not be here.
[SPEAKER_00]: You, you got with that D, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E
[SPEAKER_00]: just like about to you're about to detonate the ball and then it's like he just said it's just a friend oh I'm favorite that that would be that would be body well spent that would be money incredibly well spent he just became super blurry all of a sudden
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I sure did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, but no, but that's for some focus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's like, oh, yeah, it's right.

[SPEAKER_04]: I would like to pose a trigger wanting for those who may hate hearing this term,
[SPEAKER_04]: It's caused quite some issues in the gaming industry recently.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ubisoft has just showed off a game titled T-mates.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there's a lot of trigger words there, you know, Ubisoft.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I.
[SPEAKER_04]: A new game.

[SPEAKER_04]: I hope you saw this show and all teammates a new R&D game experience that utilizes generative AI.
[SPEAKER_04]: They see the scribe the use of Gen AI as revolutionary or as a revolutionary in games.
[SPEAKER_04]: The exact quote being generative with AI is a
[SPEAKER_04]: as big a revolution for games as the shift to 3D, where making great strikes and applying generative AI to high value use cases that bring tangible benefits to our players and teams.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's as big of a revolution for our industry as the shift to 3D, and we have everything to lead on this front.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't have any, I haven't seen anything play.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've only seen images or
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, apparently the game has being developed by the team behind Neo and PC.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if anybody's familiar with that game, um, the company has also said that the demo is meant to prove that, uh, generative AI driven gameplay can shape a new generation of more interactive and engaging games.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, me personally as someone who uses AI and this is like non-derative AI, um,
[SPEAKER_04]: tools to gather, collect data, to organize, to do recommendations, to do the sort of filter out different processes for things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't trust AI to build an interactive and engaging game.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did read that at least when I was looking into it because when I saw the initial announcement it was just like Ubisoft CEO says, you know, sort of AI is great or something like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, all right, I need to read more into this when I'm like in a better headspace and not like rolling around and bed from exhaustion.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the game is a first person shooter.
[SPEAKER_04]: Apparently the AI tools supposedly lets it adapt to voice commands from the players, allowing the NPCs to respond in real time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which is interesting, but I'm not sure how that's going to work.
[SPEAKER_04]: It kind of reminds me of like when you're telling Siri or Cortana, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: device you have that has a high on it when you're gaming a command and it doesn't in real time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how well that's going to translate over into a game.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't see this game doing very well and it makes it makes me so bad for a detain that was working behind this game because you don't know how some of these companies have been in the industry.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, game didn't do well.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're laying all off, you know, we didn't get any money.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't keep you on.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to know what you two thought about this application of AI and a game where apparently it's supposed to give players Creativity and play but like I've already said like AI has always been like a data thing for me.
[SPEAKER_04]: It can't Enhance anything which just makes my work life a lot easier.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's funny to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never really understand why companies, I understand why companies are doing what they're doing with AI because it's a very a lot less inexpensive way to do certain repetitive tasks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, the thing that I will never understand is why they are trying to push the AI to gaming community when gaming communities have quite loudly and consistently said that we don't want it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, in the second that we say that this was built by AI, we are pissed.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're angry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at what happened to Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and stuff like this and yet they're still
[SPEAKER_01]: middle ground to be like, Oh, this one's going to be this one's accepted.
[SPEAKER_01]: This one's accepted.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we can we should we could put we'll push through to the masses and make it become successful.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's always going to be a fight for this kind of this kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And and I took a look at the pictures that you're seeing that you show me.
[SPEAKER_01]: This reminds me of marathon.
[SPEAKER_01]: This looks like marathon in a way, and what is this?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and if it's called teammates, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's called, the code is called teammates.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll put it on the, and the deal.
[SPEAKER_04]: Apparently the NPCs respond to the voice player.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it's like no there's not going to be a scenario where it's going to be accepted and I don't understand why especially a company pardon pardon my French who be soft is a is saying the stupid it like is is trying to put this in not and everyone throws and then they try to expect us to be successful.
[SPEAKER_01]: But they need to stop leaning on this so much that when people are saying we hate this you don't double down on this it's so ridiculous I think you guys make it makes a good point
[SPEAKER_07]: He says the only I accept in a game is AI for NPCs where they can learn to adapt your gameplay to raise a challenge otherwise keep it out and like that kind of to me like I think that's cool and like almost reminds me of like the nemesis system, which I think is dumb that that's been you know, I mean suck behind a patent that'll never get used and it's about to be sold off actually.
[SPEAKER_07]: But.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just don't know, I feel so weird about AI because I totally use AI in things and like I think in some instances it's okay, but other instances and there's always going to be the thing about AI, there's always going to be a human touch that's needed with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: What are they?
[SPEAKER_07]: Wordsmiths, not wordsmiths, engineers, AI engineers, like, you know, they know how to, like, they know what to say to make it get results that they're looking for, basically.
[SPEAKER_07]: And to me, something like this too, when it comes to it, because I think Elon Musk was talking about doing a game all with AI as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: And to me, it's like,
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean essentially especially large scale models like this if you're buying into this aren't you essentially jumping into this aren't you just essentially like it's just like we are the product right we're just teaching it to be able to become more sophisticated and do more things and that's what they're leveraging to be able to you know me and like it's it's a weird like I don't like I don't like it very weird no totally great and I'm so conflicted about AI
[SPEAKER_04]: in general did some things i'm like all right yeah i could see that and you know oh yeah that's a great tool to be able to x y z but in other instances is like well that's just wrong just you know i mean or like this uh this as well uh believe it would be soft was also uh caught with air art found in uh i know one seventeen packs from uh Ramana where uh
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't recall if it was read it or some article, but I do recall someone being like some of the senators in the back of his painting are missing their heads and you know, they did some more digging.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just like, oh, all this artwork I hear is AI, I'm like, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, this is what makes it, this is what makes it really kind of annoying is that I don't think everyone is not against the idea of AI like like what you're saying, but like everyone there's a certain threshold where it's acceptable.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the reach that most of these companies are going to with AI is where it's unacceptable.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like what they're doing and especially when you're seeing on the back-end sides of what companies are doing and are pivoting to to to to take care of AI and stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like
[SPEAKER_01]: So infuriating and then that then at the same time turn around and say oh we're gonna be we're making this Oh can't wait then wonder why the game doesn't sell after they put in all that money in that effort of Something that was never that people were openly saying to their face.
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want it because of this is the reasons of this.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know what yeah
[SPEAKER_01]: At this point, it would be self that just does how to do one thing, one thing right, and that's falling flat on their face, almost all this stuff and releasing mediocre stuff, nine times out of ten, so it's not surprising, but they're wanting to decide to announce this, but they can't say that they can't say that they were not warned or have people be aware that they are not interested in this kind of crappy ass topic or a project.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was missing, especially with, you know, rising concern is that there's no regulation for air, especially here in the US.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, Japan has already, I think they just passed another a new act for AI that supports its development, but also addresses the risks.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they like, they have a section that's just like, hey,
[SPEAKER_04]: No copyright immaterial for AI training, like, not at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: I make sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: They also have like a personal information protection all where it's just like they're actually governing the use of people's personal data and AI development and employment.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like that's something that we need here because that's where most of the concerns about AI are over here is the use of copyright immaterial, personal information.
[SPEAKER_04]: as well as, you know, other specific rules where the people that are responsible for developing AI are also responsible for managing possible risks.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like, using it in medical equipment or financial trading, all that stuff like, they're just like, hey, you all can do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can do this, but you better follow these rules or we'll shut you down.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what we do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's just, oh, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, it's, it's sad.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, but it's like, uh, yeah, I, we, I mean, we're going to get there.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's inevitable at this point.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is absolutely not possible.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some, some regulations going to probably happen at some point.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I feel like, uh,
[SPEAKER_04]: it's gonna take an image of someone in power to be like, you know what, the people are right, you know, it is basically they'll have to be in our shoes for a moment to see that change.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I don't think it happens until it happens in the UK or absolutely in Europe.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only that, though, too, I also think that, you know, right now, I feel that what AI is is equivalent to the internet bubble on when we were growing up because you know, like, you know, it's a lot different than what we were, what we were accustomed to a long ass time ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and I think right now we're in the, we're in the, we're in the Wild Wild West right now when it comes to AI and technology and stuff, because there's no guidelines or anything like that, you know, that's that's happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a, yeah, it's just a matter of time when, like you said, when Europe is going to put their foot down, I think that's where we're going to be going through.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be following aside from that, you know, so it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he who died says, I missed the wild 90s in an at the internet today, is at the Stopian Hellscape.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God, yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: God yes, what's weird is that like even though I think 90s there was like virtually no regulation So there was I think it was actually good raise your back then back in the day to what it is now now It's just weird that you yeah, but I can't yeah, here it is just weird Absolutely told me too many people got a platform
[SPEAKER_07]: too many people got a platform as long as he does.
[SPEAKER_01]: So for the you know what I just did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just bought Dave the diver does the Nintendo Switch 2 edition.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now I officially have two Nintendo Switch 2 games.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, and join my friend.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't wait to hear what your thoughts are.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so back in the days of all the terms of rules and laws, but people were real and integrity existed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, it's a shame.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, that's where we're at.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's like, what's worse is that, you know, do you remember earlier this week when cloud flare went down?
[SPEAKER_01]: And like 20% of the internet went down with it because cloud flares buck it scares me to think that down there's like three companies that that basically is the internet.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know they run everything everything runs through them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it's like remember last month there was a AWS went down and then Yeah, it went after that.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just Oh, it was AWS and Cloud fair in the same day.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember because Yeah, I was like, you do twitchcon.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just like, uh, oh, I'm going to see know the Wi-Fi is here.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's terrible.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I hear these people talking about how they could get their flight change because the internet was down.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, yeah,
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just really on this when the rain is forced.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like my charge.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, every time a cup of the goes down, I cry, I know trust me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do MIT as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely understand the pain, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy, but yeah, but anyways, like I said, we'll see where Ubi, Ubi's going to land, probably not on their feet, not on their feet, but we'll see.
