Just you 6 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.200 should have thought you should have thought of that where you're you let your AC 7 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.640 break? Yeah, well you know, I mean you know, because I 8 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.040 can control that, you know, how could you just let it happen? 9 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.519 I know it? Right?

Uh so I 18 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.719 think we got we got some we got some content to talk about, but 19 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:12.719 some some quick housekeeping stuff. The JFP Enemy Cast is like all on hiatus 20 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.719 for a little bit. Nothing like too bad or anything. We'll we'll be 21 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.360 back at some point, but it's just like some personal stuff with with our 22 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:29.599 our hosts going on. So once once everything kind of gets back together and 23 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.479 then you know, life kind of calms down. Uh well, we'll get 24 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.759 that role and again. So just just keep that in mind. We'll be 25 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.039 back at some point. But that is that has gone for the time being. 26 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.439 But this show isn't going anywhere yet. We're still alive and we got 27 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:55.039 video games to talk about. I have no intention of going anywhere. He's 28 00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.159 not going anywhere. Drew will be here, even if it's by himself. 29 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.159 He will keep the ship going. Uh you heard him here first. Uh. 30 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.960 Ryan, it's been a while since I've checked in on you, Like 31 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.800 you wasn't here the last recording that we did and we ended up doing a 32 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.599 spot of the cast. But what have you what have you been up to? 33 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.280 So I've honestly like gaming wise, I really I've been doing too much 34 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:35.479 because I've been busy between work and also getting things together for the next show. 35 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.759 I will be doing an art table at which is it going to be 36 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:47.919 at the end of June June thirtieth, so events called kirtan September September thirty. 37 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.599 You get like, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, backtracking again. 38 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.000 Eighty degrees and it's apartment yea. The heat is frying the brain. 39 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.560 I understand we're witnessing Ryan something down in real time. Yes, this is 40 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.439 this is this is not going to go well September thirty is what I meant, 41 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.000 hopefully. But then it'll be cooler too, because it is an outdoor 42 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.480 event, because it's kind of like a concert thing that's going on. I 43 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:20.079 realize that outdoor Yeah, so okay, yeah, So now Rob has changed 44 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.480 his plans, he's no longer Yeah you know, how is there refund uh 45 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.920 uh? Good question should be said. Tim should be cool. That's the 46 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.199 time of year when things are starting at least cool down a little bit. 47 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.079 So and it's at night too, so like something down, So it's it'll 48 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.079 be good. Yeah. And it's also an eighteen and over show. That 49 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:44.519 means I get to sell the nudes, so that's gonna be fun. It's 50 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.079 gonna be hot anyway. So, but the events called Kirby Con. It's 51 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.439 gonna be down in Gainesville if you guys want to check it out, and 52 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.160 it's felled k I R B I I C O N. So originally it's 53 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.959 an event that takes place inside Florida, but they're moving it to Gainesville and 54 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:09.600 they'll also be doing another one in Atlanta later in a year two so yeah, 55 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.480 so they're moving up doing a few different spots and everything too. So 56 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:21.920 I'm pretty excited that for that. But as far as gaining goes, I've 57 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:30.439 been grinding and farming and doing a lot in Nika because we are playing that 58 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:35.920 video game. So we are t minus what is today today is the seven, 59 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:46.800 so we're TuS five days away from the start of the near collaboration. 60 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.600 Yeah, so I have been getting things ready for that. I have my 61 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.680 gems, I have my tickets, I have my gold tickets to where I 62 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:03.879 can immediately pull A two when she's available, because I will I will roll 63 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.240 for two B when she's available because she'll be the first one to pull and 64 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.600 then yep, so yeah, so two B will be the first one that 65 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:19.480 they will try that I will try to pull for and then when A two 66 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.959 becomes available, I will have gold tickets ready for A two because she apparently 67 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.879 is going to function similar to Scarlett. What does that mean? Because at 68 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.800 all so Scarlett, so Scarlett, as far as the task go, Scarlett 69 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:42.839 uses her sword instead of the guntons and everything. So so A two she's 70 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:47.279 using the great sword, so she will be uh, she will be using 71 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.600 the sword attacks and everything, which is interesting because two B is going to 72 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.680 be using like an assault rifle type deal. Yeah, whereas A two is 73 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.000 going to be using her straight up sword. The swords count as like close 74 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:06.279 friends, like shotgun style or different. It's kind of similar to like rocket 75 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:13.720 launcher. Oh okay, so like you charge it and yeah, well but 76 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.040 for start, like, Scarlet's different because like hers is like a hybrid, 77 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:24.000 it's like an assault rifle slash shotgun sort of thing. Like she's her own 78 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.399 unique thing, like she's okay, she's the only one that does what she 79 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.879 does and everything. Okay, yeah, I see so. And then also 80 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.000 the free character that's going to be part of the near collab is going to 81 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.600 be Pascal. It's Pascal, the free character. I figured Pascal is like 82 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:47.079 Pascal will be the free character. Oh okay interesting. Yeah, so uh 83 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.920 yeah, you'll basically when you complete the all the event activities, you'll receive 84 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.639 Pascal. So I thingured Pascal was going to be like one of the like 85 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:05.160 the Raid Bosses or something like that, right, but I didn't realize Pascal 86 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.959 was gonna be playable too. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, I'm not, 87 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.800 like, I'm kind of curious to see how that event is, uh 88 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.920 is going to be playing in the event, Like, I'm curious to see 89 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:28.839 what they go with on that. Yeah. So but yeah, I'm pretty 90 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.279 excited for it. I'm pretty I'm definitely looking forward to uh that collab because 91 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:41.120 I missed out on the uh uh I missed out on the Chainsaw Man m 92 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:50.120 collab for Near. Sorry, I'm it's faltering in here, so so like, 93 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.600 yeah, so that's why I'm not I'm not speaking in complete sentences right 94 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.240 now, so I'm it's not on that one. So like when I was 95 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:09.759 hearing about the uh, you know, the Near collab from CATS, I 96 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.440 was like, all right, I gotta start saving all my stuff and everything. 97 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.480 Yeah, and then you know, we'll go from her. But you 98 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.320 know who I would you know, who who needs to be the Raid Boss 99 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.320 for this nearer collab of it. You know who need you know who desperately 100 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:33.120 and definitely needs to be the raid Boss. That'd be cool, But we 101 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.600 can't forget my boy father Servo. Oh my god father. Oh that would 102 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.279 be that would be too good. That would be too good, Father Father 103 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.519 Servo. Let's get us the raid boss please. We are we are severely 104 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.559 lacking in Father several content. I can't believe they let that character like not 105 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.240 have any shinde. That was like one of the best side quests in the 106 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.480 game was like all the battles with Father Serve Up. Like it's it's so 107 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.799 funny because like like as you continue battling him, right and like when you 108 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.840 go back to keep getting to him and stuff like that, he just kept 109 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.679 getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Yeah, and he's like you just keep 110 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.120 adding onto it. And then the final boss, like when you fight you 111 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.320 fight him for the final time, he's just reu serve up. He's literally 112 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.320 just re headband at all. Yep. He just becomes his normal size and 113 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.559 he's got the head band going. But like he hits you and you lose 114 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:37.879 like ninety percent of your own It's like one of the greatest like character development 115 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.279 side quests ever father Servo and literally just became Reu. It was fantastic. 116 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.120 But yeah, so I'm kind of excited for that. I've also like hit 117 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.639 the parts too, where like I'm starting at like like like limit break some 118 00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.279 of the characters now, so I need one more for a couple of other 119 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.000 characters to get them to be three stars and then I can start bumping everybody 120 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:11.360 up to pass the one sixty mark. And I've also started doing some of 121 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.440 the I've unlocked some of the other side quests to where like you do like 122 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:20.080 the tougher boss battles and like the interception things, and anytime that I kill 123 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.000 a boss of one of those, I get like the better armor and better 124 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.519 like equipment and stuff like that to like really start doing like serious damages. 125 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.960 If I got and our thing like Scarlet for me, like every time she 126 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.679 attacks, she's almost doing like one K damage now because of yeah, and 127 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.600 she's still capped at one sixty, but she's like but she's still but she 128 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.720 looks like mows everybody down because of like how strong her attack is right now, 129 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:54.159 So and I come to find out the uh the kind of like the 130 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.639 squad that I'm running right now, according to Cats from what he's been telling 131 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.919 me in our is that like I'm actually running like the best squad in the 132 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:11.720 game right now with the lineup that I have. So it's Leader Blanc Scarlet 133 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:18.360 privity in Noir. So yeah, Leader, she just gives you like a 134 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.200 bunch of different ammunition stuff or anything. Blanc ability. Block's ability is she 135 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.240 creates a extra wall barrier, heals you and gives you kind of like an 136 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.360 attack buff bro I need her, Yeah, Blanc is Bloc is really really 137 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.399 good, but you have to have her paired with Noir, which is her 138 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.480 sister. They're the two buddy girls. Because if you don't have Bloc paired 139 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:48.519 with Noir, Blanc's burst skillability takes forever to recharge, but if you have 140 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.080 her with Noir, then it's instantaneous the next time you get your burst awakenings. 141 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.320 Oh damn. So you have to have them at a set yeah, 142 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.600 like effective, Yeah, but they're like but they're could together. They're like 143 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.679 considered as plus tire because like Noir's ability is, she strengthens everybody too, 144 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.799 especially if you create like a shotgun team show. Like her ability is like 145 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.559 she literally amplifies everybody that has a shotgun. Oh yeah, so so like 146 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.360 the shotgun crew I have that I run is, I'll have Leader than Blanc 147 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.759 and then they'll have Noir, Drake and Sugar and like they're because they're also 148 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:39.039 like really really good shotgun characters, especially Sugar because like she on her Birst 149 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.039 skill, she actually gets like a like an automatic like an automatic shotgun, 150 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.200 so like she just like is just shooting a shot like a like her shotgun 151 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.360 as like it's an assault rifle almost it still has Yeah, it's a rapid 152 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.840 fire shotgun that still does a ton of damage. So it's it's kind of 153 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.639 an interesting to see like all the different like abilities and everything that you can 154 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.159 keep unlocking with the characters and stuff. So I've basically been playing that and 155 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.120 I've also dived back into Holocure. Oh yeah, they've been getting some big 156 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.080 updates. Yeah, they just released a new update with a new stage and 157 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.480 basically the Holoa of Indonesia characters. Interesting. So yeah, Indonesia is now 158 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.240 part of the characters you could play now and everything, and like I said, 159 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:33.360 also the new stage, which I haven't been able to beat the new 160 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:39.559 stage yet. I've gotten closical times because like it's a pretty smallish area that 161 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:46.120 does get flooded very very quickly, so like I'm trying to figure out, 162 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:54.759 like what commendations work best. The closest I got was with Reesu the squirrel 163 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.559 girl and Kiara, Like those are the two I almost was able to get 164 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.759 past the entire thing because Kiara she just lights everything up on fire, so 165 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.360 like it definitely helps. Yeah, and at Reesu, like when you like 166 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.320 get light max out her main weapon, which is basically she just fires a 167 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.720 bunch of nuts. She's a squirrel sol and like her away. Yeah, 168 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.000 so like her awakening is like literally should just like fire nuts, but they 169 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:30.519 ricochet off of everything. And like there's other like like bomb like like nut 170 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.559 bomb things that she does too and everything. So it's kind of so it's 171 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.240 been a pretty fun. It's been pretty fun to visit it. I actually 172 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.879 went ahead and downloaded it from Steam, and I'm gonna say it recently got 173 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.399 released on Steam officially. Yep, so I did this very cool. Yeah, 174 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.320 so I did get it on Steam and I was actually able to carry 175 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.000 on my saved data to the Steam version. Oh really yep. Yeah, 176 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.960 So like I signed up. I signed up, I had a email account 177 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.600 basically, and I just typed all that stuff back in and it and it 178 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.679 brought everything that I had. I was just like, oh, yeah, 179 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:10.480 so if you expecting that. Yeah, So if you if you did like 180 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.240 an email log into like the base game when it was just like its own 181 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.120 game before it was released, if you take the information and you put it 182 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.080 on the Steam variant, it will carry over all your information that you had. 183 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.279 So I guess, I guess they had it as like a like a 184 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.840 cloud thing in some you know, in a in some case you know. 185 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.240 So, but yeah, that's been fun to visit and get back to and 186 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:42.480 everything. I'm one rank away from getting to master in street Fighter six, 187 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.279 which you know, uh, getting closer and closer once I Once I get 188 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.799 to that master rank and street Fighter six, I can then uninstall and delete 189 00:16:52.840 --> 00:17:00.440 that game forever and never played again. But like he, you will have 190 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.119 beaten the street Fighter thing. Yes, exactly what it is. I I 191 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.200 have beaten street Fighter six, I got Master rank, deleting the game, 192 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:14.200 never playing it again. So uh and then uh, outside of that, 193 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.799 a little bit of DJ Max two, they released some new content and anything, 194 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.559 so I'm trying to get like this unlike the new unlocked, the new 195 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.279 content, which is a bunch of like a neat little like pixel art Ui 196 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.039 stuff they did with it. So and I'm a sucker for pixel Art, 197 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.680 so I definitely have to you know, get that unlocked and everything. And 198 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.559 that's pretty much been it for the most part. Things I haven't done so 199 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:47.640 uh, you know, nothing too glamorous. I haven't gotten into Balter's Gate 200 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.440 or Armored Corps or anything like that, mainly because I don't want to be 201 00:17:52.480 --> 00:18:00.799 stuck in character customization for nine hundred hours and both games, but I've heard, 202 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.079 I've heard great things about both games. I you know, one maybe 203 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.240 one day I'll try one of them. I don't know which one though, 204 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:15.440 because like both those games aren't really games that I typically play for the most 205 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.759 part, So like you know, I'm kind of being a little hasn'tant on 206 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.519 which one to get because of that, or I you know, I just 207 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.279 might I just might wait for you know, some other games, like yeah 208 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.319 it wait for so or like you know, see if there's anything else that 209 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.319 gets released that like catches my interest, which I don't know if there's anything 210 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:40.720 really coming out in time soon. I'm gonna talk about it a little later, 211 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.359 but like, if you're looking for something to fill in that time, 212 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:51.599 I would suggest going back and grabbing like a dragon esian m. Yeah, 213 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.880 yeah, yeah, I just finished it yesterday, and that's a game that 214 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.960 has been on my radar to get. I just haven't gotten it yet because 215 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:04.319 I've been trying to wait things out. So yeah, maybe maybe that would 216 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.319 be its something to grab down the line that reminds me. And I can't 217 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.680 just play that anytime because like I don't need to hop into yaks the series. 218 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:17.480 I could just play that whenever exactly, but that doesn't reminder, that 219 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:18.720 doesn't remind me. Eventually, I need to get back into the Yakus for 220 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.440 at some point and finish that game one day. Also. Yeah, but 221 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.960 that's that's pretty much from in. That's pretty much everything I've been doing for 222 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.279 the most part. Okay, Well, yeah, I like that. I 223 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.119 like that. I am now going to stop away and try to figure out 224 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.000 more on my ac here. I wish you the best of luck and swaltering. 225 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:45.559 Oh man, I wish you luck more more water always water, h 226 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:52.000 just the fir. Hello. I understand that you are currently stuck in a 227 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.000 character creation. Hell, talk to me about video games? Sure, so 228 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.799 I got a few things on my list. I do want to mention though, 229 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:07.160 Uh. Last week we talked about Live Alive and octopat two. Uh, 230 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:14.480 I'm still thinking about Live Alive and like that game. I just not 231 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:21.440 needed to mention that because that game, it's it's next. It's insane. 232 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.400 Like I keep thinking about that game, and I can't stop thinking about that 233 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.799 game, and like, I really want to buy the soundtrack, but I'm 234 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.839 broke, Sophia money, you want to buy me a late birthday present? 235 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:41.839 Anybody listening to this, I would really really love that suck. Other than 236 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:48.519 that, So, what have I been doing since my download of the Messenger? 237 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:55.440 Okay, I have not played it, damn it. Okay, I 238 00:20:55.480 --> 00:21:00.640 did start, you know, let's just get the big one out of the 239 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.480 fucking I started Trails into Reverie. Yeah, I finally started. I am 240 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.640 sixteen hours in that game. Sixteen hours. God, damn, you must 241 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.279 be farther than me. I am not. I know, well with with 242 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:26.359 the way this difficulty works. Maybe this difficulty so Rob and I I guess 243 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:37.200 we can we can both mention rot into both into Trails into Reverie. Now 244 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.640 we finally started it, I just want to say that the first hour and 245 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:51.240 a half completely blows away. I hear myself echoing, Okay, I think 246 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:57.119 it's gone. The first hour and a half of that game blows the six 247 00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:04.160 hundred hours we spent with Cold Steel completely out of the water. Uh. 248 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.680 Like I've been putting this game off because of how underwhelming Cold Steel was for 249 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.880 me. I will be I will put that out there. I've been putting 250 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.680 this off because I just could not handle any more fucking disappointment. Just couldn't. 251 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.039 I had put so much stock into this series that Cold Steel just like 252 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:33.680 came in and gut punched me and just I couldn't handle it. And then 253 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.039 this game was like, hey, yeah, you know that fucking game. 254 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:45.920 Never mind, there's uh the intro to that game is sick, like has 255 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:51.960 me screaming. Yeah. Like, even with Falcom's lack of budget, like 256 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.000 I was fucking the pike. Like I understand that Falcom games at this point 257 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:02.519 really look like PS three games and the year twenty twenty three, but so 258 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.599 their credit they've upgraded since Cold Steal, Reverie does look a lot better than 259 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.160 Cold Steal does. Some of the animations are being reused though, so like 260 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:18.519 temporary your expectations, But just like the intro, the writing, the content 261 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:25.440 like leads better. We're We're like it's like we're home again. That's what 262 00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.960 it feels like. It feels like a homecoming. It really does. Like 263 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.200 now I have biased because it is about like my favorite characters in series, 264 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.960 So there is that, like it has that going for it. But just 265 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.400 like the subject matter and like the discussions that are happening in like the opening 266 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.720 cut scenes of like this tutorial chapter, I'm just like, yes, this 267 00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:53.599 is what I want. This is so good. And like even though they 268 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.400 have to back Cannon have to reference what's happening in CS, I'm like, 269 00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:03.839 I don't care because like what they're spinning now I'm one hundred percent about. 270 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:08.279 It's like it's really good. They're taking the fall out of that arc and 271 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.839 then just like spinning it and having conversations around it to where like we're acknowledging 272 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.039 that happens, and then like we're just going to address like some of the 273 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.680 real fallouts of that, and like the fallouts of that can be very interesting 274 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.200 with like some of the soldiers who run into in the opening chapters and like 275 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:30.000 going through like how they felt like going through everything in CS versus like where 276 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.279 they are now and like kind of struggling to find their place in everything, 277 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.279 Like you know what I mean. Like having that discussion is very interesting, 278 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.839 you know, so like you can pull some stuff out of the CS arc 279 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.519 and make them very interesting, and it seems like they're doing that here for 280 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:48.240 the most part. I'm very much here for that. Yes, and throughout 281 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.680 this entire intro I just have the biggest, stupidest grin on my face. 282 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.559 I'm just like, yes, this is what I wanted. This is one 283 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.039 hundred percent what I was here for. Yes, name, good name, 284 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.839 Yes speaking and then speaking of yes, uh huh, I have found a 285 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:14.799 fan. Oh big big dubs. Yeah yeah yeah, which is double checking 286 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.480 you guys. Are you're not able to hear the fan right now? Are 287 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:22.240 you? No? No fan? Okay? How about now just to be 288 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:30.119 safe? Nope, yeah you're good, good full blast. Hell yeah, 289 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:37.480 we're cooling off. I didn't realize there was one in here. All right, 290 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:44.000 we're eating good anyway. Sorry, So anyway, we got through the 291 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.160 in Church apter, or at least I did. Romps. This a good 292 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.440 deal ahead of me. But he's ahead of me. Oh okay, it 293 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:59.440 might be a good deal. After one Like along, I refuse to answer, 294 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.319 have you have you unlocked the mechanic trails to walk yet? Does that 295 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:08.759 mean anything to you? Trails to walk? Yeah, that doesn't mean anything 296 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:14.039 to you. I imagine what that is is selecting the three different paths. 297 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.680 Okay, now, so you're you're aware of paths though, yes, I've 298 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.680 been aware of that for a while. Okay, okay, I wasn't sure. 299 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.920 Okay, So I've completed sorry real quick again? Are we talking about 300 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.559 real quick trails? Interact trails into revery? Oh? Okay, okay, 301 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.880 okay, okay, So so I've I've completed one path, one chapter of 302 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.279 a path. Let me put it that way, okay, okay, okay, 303 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:45.799 okay. Yeah, So again, I don't know how much that is 304 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:52.200 behind you. But it's been a long weekend and it's been one of those 305 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:55.839 weekends where it's just like you want to play a game, like all right, 306 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.279 So first off, it doesn't help that like you need to be in 307 00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.920 a specific mindset to play Tricks. I acknowledge this series isn't for everybody, 308 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.680 and I acknowledge that it's a fucking slow bird. And I acknowledge that you 309 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.160 can't play this game when you're fucking tired, and I acknowledge that I was 310 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:18.319 tired all fucking weekend. So like, I just I never really found a 311 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:19.599 good point. Because all right, so here's the thing. We beat the 312 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.880 intro, I'm like riding this high and then like we're we're setting the stage 313 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.240 for what's going on. I'm like, okay, cool, and then the 314 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.440 game throws rounds at you and you're like, oh fuck, I forgot aboutlping 315 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:37.480 this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, shout outs to the rounds, shout 316 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.079 out to go and talking around to every NPC because you have to talk to 317 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.319 all of them because you gotta know, you need to know what's going to 318 00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.160 happen. To know what's going on. I have to corners on rounds. 319 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.559 I cannot. I mean I don't really cut corner its. Like I talked 320 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.279 to everybody. Maybe maybe there's one or two random NPC's and I'm like, 321 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.319 I don't need to talk to you, but the ones that matter, like 322 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.720 the ones that I know of, I need to go check in and see 323 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:08.599 what they're all out. I will say that this game has a lot of 324 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:17.079 rounds. Oh no, I've been told like they've told that down from because 325 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:22.200 she had. I mean, maybe it's not as bad as CS. Like 326 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.640 in my mind, like I I've only finished, like you know that the 327 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.920 small slice of this game, right, so I don't know what's ahead of 328 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.720 me. But thinking about what I just did and what this game is going 329 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.400 to want me to do, I'm like, I can see a world where 330 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.000 there's a lot of rounds that has to happen. But I also hear that, 331 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:47.920 like this game isn't as long as like the last two games, So 332 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.440 ultimately it's probably not as much, right, but it probably will still feel 333 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:59.359 like a lot. Crostel is big, y'all. It's a big city. 334 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.880 There's a lot of ground, even with them like even with them cutting out 335 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.000 like some sections, it's just like there's a lot of buildings going. There's 336 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:12.200 a lot of like that's what we like about this series. But also it's 337 00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.720 a lie and again, you just you have to be in the right frame 338 00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.839 of mind, and I just never really was this weekend. And on top 339 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.279 of that, like Reverene introduces a new difficulty, this difficulty where people ever 340 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:33.839 at Falcom apparently developed a spine and like we have an actual like difficult difficulty 341 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:41.200 spine. I'd say spite maybe uh, maybe this is a frustratation for the 342 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:52.480 terrible writing that they put out for the past six hundred hours. Hm m 343 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:59.920 hm. So anyway, uh, when it comes to turn based game, 344 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:07.279 was creating difficulty, it's such a like weird thing because like you really have 345 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:15.039 to balance difficulty with tedium and then just like pool and unusual punishments which seems 346 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:19.960 to be reveries fo j of. Hey, we just like tune the speedstead 347 00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:26.079 of every enemy, including random battles, to like five hundred percent. Have 348 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.559 fun watching your enemy like take like twenty germs of not an exaggeration, by 349 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.480 the way, Like there there's a mandatory fight in the prologue section of this 350 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:40.599 game where you run into the room of dogs, right, and it's like, 351 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:42.119 what is it five enemies? I think it's four dogs and one big 352 00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:48.200 dog or something like that. It's a tritorial fight, by the way, 353 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:53.240 how to use scrafts and it is it is a case of like one hit 354 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.960 from these dogs will deal half your life at least half your character's life. 355 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.160 So like it is very easy for like you to walk into that fight, 356 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:08.720 and it's like Brown Start came over in some instances, right, And if 357 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.319 you like get your turn and you pull up like Teo's fucking order, which 358 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.480 is like reflect damage, you will literally sit there for twenty turns as you 359 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.559 just watch these dogs take like three turns a piece, like trying to hit 360 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.960 your characters, and then that's when it sinks in and you're just like, 361 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:33.279 this is gonna be some bullshit. It reminds me of my Awakening Lunatic Run. 362 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:40.240 So what I decided to do, and this is the real video game 363 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.160 that I played. If I put on the Rookie on Hulu and I went 364 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.839 into the casino because the casino access is like given to you very early on, 365 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:56.440 and I just grinded out tokens until I could buy the speed boosting like 366 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.799 equipment. And so we're gonna see if that makes difference to where because like 367 00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:04.960 as soon as I could, I went and just did like some normal battles, 368 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.400 because like, yes, when I play an RPG, I always go 369 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.759 and explore it off the beaten path, and I'm like, I couldn't go 370 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:13.119 into town, but I could go fight some multuers and that didn't go well 371 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:21.960 so I M we need to fix this, so hopefully that fixes it. 372 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.880 I'm gonna feel really bad if that doesn't. I'm gonna say, man, 373 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:30.400 like I have died more in these like how many hours of my plans this 374 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.519 game so far, in these nine hours, I have died more times than 375 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.359 like all of Colds still combined, like all four of those games combined. 376 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.400 Yeah, no, I believe it. I've never seen like a normal fight 377 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.200 of me, like, all right, let's go. No it like it 378 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.440 is very easy for like a normal fight to fall apart, even when I 379 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.559 have like the advantage, right, Uh I could I could just mess up 380 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.559 one time or just like misplay once and then and it's like, oh, 381 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:06.839 this just went to ship. And I'll say that, like, at least 382 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.079 so far the boss fights. When it's just like when it's just like one 383 00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:17.400 enemy, it's way easier to manage and it doesn't feel as awful. Right. 384 00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:22.559 It's when you introduce multiple where things start to really fucking fall apart, 385 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.680 especially when it's like a mandatory fight and then like you know, you're not 386 00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.680 getting first turned, so like you have to take like at least six six 387 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:37.000 rounds of the enemy just doing something and then on top of that, with 388 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.440 the trails games, you have like the turn the turn bonuses that can both 389 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:45.240 work for you or against you. So there are literally moments where it's like, 390 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.680 okay, round start, enemy has like crip and he has an AOA 391 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.559 and it's just like, well, all right, can I just hit restart? 392 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.799 Yeah? Though, and I've gotten fucked by that, like several times, 393 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:06.079 especially like what I just did two hours ago, where I did like 394 00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.519 the end of chapter boss fight and there is a bonus condition on it, 395 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:13.920 right, and it's just like, Okay, this was the moment where I'm 396 00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:16.239 like, am I gonna go for like what is it ap that you get 397 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:21.039 usually when you do like bonus stuff and you upgrade your rank, And I 398 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:22.519 was like, this is the moment where I decide, am I going to 399 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.079 try and like max rank or get like an insanely high rank, or am 400 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.000 I just gonna like not worry about it, which like I never go the 401 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.559 full distance, Like I know, Drew, you pretty much maxed out every 402 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:37.159 single time, or if you can, like you you you you try not 403 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:43.079 to miss any right, and then it's yeah, it's tough. I at 404 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.800 least try to like hit that max drink. I don't get all of them, 405 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:47.920 but I want to hit the max drink. But this is the moment 406 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.079 where I decide, like am I going to do that or is it going 407 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.199 to be too much of a pen in the ass. And I did this 408 00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:00.679 fight and I was like, this seems impossible, but like I'm going to 409 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.280 give it a try. So like it took me like eight tries and I 410 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.320 got into a rhythm and I got it, and I was like, cool, 411 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:14.599 I hate this, but maybe I'll do it. And then as we're 412 00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:17.960 going through the cut scene, my game crashes before we get to a save, 413 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:27.639 and then I'm like, nope, I don't care anymore. I tried 414 00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.320 one more time after that because I was like, okay, I'm gonna get 415 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.119 through this boss again and then we're just gonna carry on. So I get 416 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:40.079 through it and then like I immediately just like lose the condition and I was 417 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:43.880 like, all right, whatever, I don't care anymore. This this ship 418 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:49.039 is stupid A bit difficulty, Like is teetering a line And I said this 419 00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.920 to you in chat through where it's teetering this mind of like is it fun 420 00:35:53.239 --> 00:36:01.000 or not? Right? Yeah? Yeah, a question. It's like there 421 00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.119 are moments where I'm like, Okay, this this is not as bad as 422 00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.400 as as I really think it is, and then they're like the next fight 423 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.559 is just like Spike, and I'm like, no, this is fucking this 424 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.880 is killing me. So I'm hopeful that as long as I pushed through enough 425 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:21.159 to where we can really get into like creating our characters. Because we're still 426 00:36:21.159 --> 00:36:22.519 in the early game, we don't have like a lot of tools that we're 427 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.119 working. We don't have a lot of orbits that we can equip to our 428 00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:29.800 characters to boost like stats and create like the broken characters that we're known for 429 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:34.119 doing in our own different respective ways, Like we we tackle these games differently. 430 00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:37.480 So I'm like, am I gonna get to a point where like I 431 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:42.519 can start doing that stuff and this feels way better? And if it doesn't, 432 00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.639 that's when I will probably make a decision of like, I'm probably gonna 433 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.920 turn this down tonightmare. There's a world where I see myself where I could 434 00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.920 do that, depending on what this game tosses at me. But we'll we'll 435 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:57.679 see, we'll get there. I'm gonna write it out, We're gonna we're 436 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:00.480 gonna feel it out. I think it's well barely it's doable, right, 437 00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.559 but is it fun or is it going to frustrate me? And I don't 438 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:13.280 know yet. Yeah, I mean I kind of have a very similar take 439 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:20.280 on that, Like I'm all for difficult games. I enjoy different games, 440 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.719 but like I said, when when it comes to a turn based game like 441 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:35.360 that, that sort of balance is really really delicate. And I mean, 442 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:40.719 like I will praise like a game like Bravely Default, which takes that turn 443 00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:45.760 based formula and kind of turns it on its head and challenges you like really 444 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:52.320 understand the system, but the game doesn't beat my head over my head, 445 00:37:52.960 --> 00:38:02.599 like Okay, it's the difficulty isn't so proportionate of like at the beginning of 446 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:09.320 the game, it's like we're just going to throw everything at you and you 447 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:15.360 just need to know like how to abuse the system, whereas like once you 448 00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:19.199 hit the end game, here's where you need to learn how to abuse the 449 00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.719 system because you've spent you know, seventy some odd hours like twining with the 450 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:27.039 system, so now you really have to. Like that's what I want to 451 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.440 see more turn based games do, because I feel like it's either they tone 452 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.639 it too hard or they tone it too soft for example, going back to 453 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:42.480 like Octopath Traveler too yeah, because you said you had a pretty easy time, 454 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.920 And now part of that is because you didn't limit yourself the way I 455 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:52.960 did, where like I hindered my protagonists because he just got over leveled throughout 456 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.199 the game because I could never take him out of my party. So like 457 00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.400 I hindered myself to keep the fights quote unquote the air. But like that 458 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:07.039 game doesn't really have an inherent difficulty that challenges you as you because like the 459 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.760 thing about RPGs is you have this concept of avatar strength, where like the 460 00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.000 characters are growing with the player as they're getting stronger, and you're like, 461 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.639 you're the players rewarded by leveling out their characters and slowly getting the new abilities 462 00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:24.960 and new moves and that they can learn and play the system. The problem 463 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.719 is is like a lot of these turn based RPGs never really incentivize the player 464 00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:40.840 to abuse these systems, and unless it's like a specific like Superboss or something 465 00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.760 like that, and like I want to see more turn based RPGs have a 466 00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.960 balanced difficulty throughout the game, where like at the very beginning of the game, 467 00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.519 the game feels a lot easier because like you're kind of just rolling through. 468 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.800 You have like starting gear, like you have a simple hel spell, 469 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.519 you don't even have have like a lot of ways to life inflict satus, 470 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:06.599 effects on enemies and all that. So like it doesn't feel like super overwhelming, 471 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.119 but like by the end of the game, like the game is supposed 472 00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:15.119 to be throwing everything it has at you, and you should feel challenged and 473 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:21.880 you should feel rewarded for like having mastered the game systems, and I feel 474 00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:27.519 like that's where this ABYSS difficulty falls short. It's like, clearly the game 475 00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:30.400 warns you ahead of time, Hey, this shit's hard, and Rob and 476 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.000 I both knew that going in, but like it both warned you that the 477 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.039 some thing about the nightmare difficulties in the older games, and those were I'll 478 00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:42.760 push over. They said, this shit's hard, and also you cannot carry 479 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.719 anything from new game plus oversus this, so they want you to start fresh, 480 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:50.320 right right, So so they know they're up to some shit, and 481 00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:55.079 they are. But I think, to like your point, I think a 482 00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.199 game like Octopath Traveler or even like the some Tea games and stuff like that, 483 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:06.119 or even Bravely Default, like they have mechanics in place to where like 484 00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:09.039 if you did put it in like a difficulty option in Optopad Traveler, that 485 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:13.920 game would still like it would be challenging and feel really good because of its 486 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.199 systems, Like it's break system, right, so like you have ways of 487 00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:22.079 like exploiting the system and playing in kind of like mitigating like the challenge, 488 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.519 so to speak, because like, Okay, maybe it's going to take me, 489 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:28.679 you know, more turns to kill his boss and he does more damage 490 00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.360 to me, but he still has like a break gauge, and like I 491 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:36.360 can use this to my advantage to like break them very quickly, whereas like 492 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.159 for this game, it feels like they don't do enough on the mechanic side 493 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:45.039 to give the player any sort of leeway. Right, So, like there's 494 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.079 also a break mechanic in this game, right where they have a separate break 495 00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.400 gauge or and you deal starting the amount damage where you break the enemy and 496 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.840 that puts them into like state where they take more damage and blah blah blah 497 00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:58.960 blah blah. We all know how break things work in video games. The 498 00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:04.840 problem is, because they're so juice, you break them, they immediately get 499 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.719 their turn again and it acts as if you never broke them in the first 500 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:09.480 place. So it's like you have the system in place to where like we 501 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.199 could play around this system and it would be a very fun back and forth 502 00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:19.960 on this difficulty. But I can't, like the system is broken right because 503 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:24.239 I get enough from this Instead, sometimes I almost feel punished by it in 504 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:30.239 some ways. It's it's very weird, and the same thing goes for like 505 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:34.920 the turn order buffs and stuff like that too. It's cool that like, 506 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.760 yeah, I can take advantage of these, the enemies can take advantage of 507 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:43.760 these, but again on this difficulty, where like they're taking less damage and 508 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.079 stuff like that, it could just be R and G where like their turn 509 00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:50.360 falls on a they get fifty percent health back, And now I'm just like, 510 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.719 okay, you know what I'm saying. So it feels like this game's 511 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:04.280 mechanics don't, like they're not well thought out for this difficulty. You know, 512 00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.320 it's they might as well not even be there in some instances. I 513 00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:16.880 can agree with that, Like, but I feel like the one change that 514 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:22.039 like would would just fix every not everything, but like would feel good is 515 00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.679 if they just mandatorily, like if you break an enemy everybody gets one turn 516 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:30.360 before they take their turn. I think that solves, like, you know, 517 00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:36.320 because then my strategy becomes a fall on Like okay, we're focusing on 518 00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:43.960 break more than anything, you know, yeah, the video game, And 519 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:52.920 I get like, I'm pretty sure this difficulty was designed Maybe I'm fine. 520 00:43:54.519 --> 00:44:04.800 I mean, like the trails is narrative first gameplay. Second in fact, 521 00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:08.159 I'm pretty sure the Guy games did not initially ship with difficulties, which is 522 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:15.159 why their difficulties feel so on balanced. Like I remember playing hard on the 523 00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:22.159 second chapter and like the first fight against like the yagers in Laylaman, that 524 00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:29.000 junk is brutal, like just straight brutal. And like again, it gets 525 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:31.880 easier after that, like once you start having access to the systems. But 526 00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.559 like like you said, the games are not designed with this difficulty in mond, 527 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:49.639 and they are definitely designed after the fact. So like again, right, 528 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.880 I mean something said like I'm excited to play more. The narrative has 529 00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:01.960 its hooks in me. I'm able to I'm very investing. Oh really, 530 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.480 I'm very invested. Am I going to be happy? I'm very happy. 531 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:09.760 I'm gonna. I'm gonna when we finished here, I'm going right, back 532 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:17.760 to it. I'm in it. Maybe in my downtown tomorrow at work, 533 00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:22.599 I will get some more time into like after I've had a good night's sleep. 534 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:29.920 True, because I can't do that now. So what else have I 535 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:35.880 been doing? That's Reverie Street Hunter six mandatory bi weekly Street Fighter six update. 536 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:42.719 I getting to master rank all right. Uh, he's my second master 537 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:47.199 ranked character. I'm actually pretty happy that I was able to get him there. 538 00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.079 Uh. It feels good because typically when I play fighting game, I'm 539 00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:55.440 tended to stick to one character, one character home, and I only ever 540 00:45:55.639 --> 00:46:00.360 gain a proficiency with a character. So it feels nice. And though I 541 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:04.000 really haven't touched DJ you know a while, I'm sure if you give me 542 00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:07.840 like ten or twenty games, it's like riding a bike. Anytime you play 543 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.199 multiple characters in a game and you put like a decent amount of time into 544 00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:16.239 them, it's like riding a bike. Yeah, But like, it feels 545 00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:24.239 nice to have multiple characters in my pocket. Playing Ken, I really enjoy 546 00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:28.159 Ken. I'm going to be making a full time switch over two Ken because 547 00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:34.440 I feel Ken has options that I wish DJA really had. Yeah, I 548 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:39.320 mean, let me preface this with DJ is a perfectly fine character. He's 549 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:45.960 absolutely in the top eight seven characters. DJ is perfectly violent, but there 550 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:52.599 are things that he doesn't have that I wish he had, which is like 551 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:58.440 a drive canceable low, a more consistent non charge anti air, Like these 552 00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:01.719 are things that I want, things that I want to have access to, 553 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:09.480 because part of it is DJ requires a bit more situational awareness than I currently 554 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:15.039 have. Not to say that Ken doesn't, but like that aspect of a 555 00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:21.320 charge character makes things a lot harder. Like his anti air game is really 556 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:27.800 frustrating to me because like you have these normal anti airs, but they often 557 00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:31.440 get crushed in a lot of situations where like you need to split react with 558 00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:35.400 an anti air as fast as you can, because I mean, at the 559 00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.559 end of the day, like neutral is just as much of a guess as 560 00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.360 a mix up is. Because if you're playing a neutral, you want to 561 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:46.320 throw out a button. What happens if your opponent jumps right there, Your 562 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.639 button whiffs and now they're jumping in on you, and you want to be 563 00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:53.440 able to have like an option to get them out of the air so long 564 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:58.960 as you're recovering time, and like that's what can shore You can is it's 565 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:01.199 like, oh, I went for a crash medium kick here they jumped. 566 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:07.920 Well, that's okay because I recover enough time to just do DP now. 567 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:14.639 Granted, like DJ has situations where he can utilize that, but like his 568 00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:17.920 best footsie buttons require him to be standing and that requires him to not have 569 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:22.000 a charge. So there's a lot of situations where like that's five a jump 570 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:30.400 in for free, and I hate that, understandable, So that's one of 571 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:37.599 the things that led me to Ken, you know. So that being said, 572 00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:42.719 I've been enjoying my time with Ken. This is introduced a whole new 573 00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:47.880 can of worms. So playing a charge character for two months, a lot 574 00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:53.519 of people were pitching about Street Fetter six's input system and I don't understand. 575 00:48:53.760 --> 00:49:00.239 I am one of those, yep, And I realized now that is just 576 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:05.039 because of playing a charge character. Yeah, and I didn't have a lot 577 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:13.880 of troublesome inputs, like the quartricle inputs that DJ has don't really overlap with 578 00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:16.199 a lot of his supers in situations where I wouldn't want to do that super 579 00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:24.079 anyway. Whereas with Ken, because I've always been a hater of the DP 580 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:29.320 input, I hate the DP input. I've always hated the DP input. 581 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:37.039 It feels unnaturally. I've put that on record, on record. There are 582 00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:43.079 aspects of Ken's game where like his his his most commonly news moves are going 583 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.719 to be Dragon Lashkake and his Shore you Can, which are DP input moves. 584 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:51.119 And a lot of the times, because of Street Gutter six's input system, 585 00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.480 when you're trying to move, hit a button and then cancel into these 586 00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:58.199 specialist you're getting the super. We don't want that super a lot of the 587 00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:08.800 time. That's real. Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, almost 588 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.159 to the point that if streamer Sick is going to keep this input system, 589 00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.480 Like again, it's it's far from the most egregious thing in a game. 590 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:20.039 It's something that I just had to be more cognitive, more mindful of. 591 00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:28.119 But I would prefer Catcom do something about it. I suggested just changing supers 592 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:34.679 to have three buttons, Like if I want to do a level three with 593 00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.760 Ken, that I need to use three punches in order to do that that 594 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:45.039 way. That way, if I'm just trying to do cratching media kick in 595 00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.239 the Dragon Rash and I happened to walk forward like two frames before that, 596 00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:54.239 I'm not getting like shippo or whatever, because they're internal matches where I've just 597 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:58.760 thrown my level away trying to do a normal combo in a DP, and 598 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:02.679 because my inputs weren't exactly the cleanest or I'm sorry, not even that they 599 00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:07.079 were the cleanest the input reader read my DP, there was one like extra 600 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:14.159 input in there because I'm having to put these inputs in my brain because yeah, 601 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:17.880 in a sense, yeah, goody, And then I end up getting 602 00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:21.360 a level three in a situation where I'm like, I didn't want to do 603 00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:28.079 that and that was kind of a waste. Yeah. I wonder if they'll 604 00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.320 address it. I feel like they have to because I've mentioned it before, 605 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.599 right, but when when Ryan was going through the issues too, where it's 606 00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.800 like this is a everybody is complaining about the issue right from from like all 607 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:42.599 levels of play, right and it seems to be a very consistent issue with 608 00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:45.760 everyone. I feel like it's something we'll addressed at some point. But heavy 609 00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:53.079 like tournament matches that like a very clear input error just led to somebody losing, 610 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:58.880 and these are like top six, top eight matches, Yeah, and 611 00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:05.199 nobody wants that, like even the person like who's playings like that that sours 612 00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:10.320 your victory somewhat, you know it can we we we take those dubs, 613 00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:15.079 but like it certainly can. And I mean I don't think that they can 614 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.800 address all the input issues, Like I just have to accept. Like what 615 00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:27.960 kisses me is that k F actually has like a a workaround this were for 616 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:31.360 situations like this, like, uh, where you can do I think it's 617 00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:37.280 a tiger knee if you want to do like uh, like if you have 618 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.800 to do a forward move into a porder circle forward move, but there's a 619 00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:45.480 DP overlapping like that Sam input. If you do a tiger knee, it 620 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:51.079 always gives you the Porder circle move as opposed to the DP move after walking 621 00:52:51.119 --> 00:53:00.159 forward. Yeah that's yeah. I mean like and like in other games, 622 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:06.000 like you can do like a walk forward and then like a half circle for 623 00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:09.119 a quarter circle moved to make sure that you get the quarter circle, which 624 00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:13.920 you know forces you to do like a little bit of an extra input. 625 00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:16.000 But like if it's in a combo and you're just trying to make sure, 626 00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:20.719 Hey, I need this special to come out, and I don't remember if 627 00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:24.760 I've walked like two frames or ten frames before I did this move, Like 628 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:30.880 there are ways to like sort of adjust that I haven't really had too much 629 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:37.119 of an issue with like like they're okay, that's actually not true. I've 630 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:39.639 had a ton of issues, Like, for example, with Ken, I'll 631 00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:44.679 try to do like stand short into his gin right kicks, which is quarter 632 00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:50.360 circle forward kick, and I'll have walk forward hit stand light and I'll immediately 633 00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:54.360 go into his light dragon lash, which I did not want to do and 634 00:53:54.679 --> 00:54:00.039 is punishable on block and doesn't compo from anything, especially stand And I'm just 635 00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:05.320 like, what am I supposed to do here? I can only clean up 636 00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:09.519 my input so much, but in a tournament match, like there's so much 637 00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:14.880 you already have on the mental stack that having to keep track of, well 638 00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:20.039 did I do this corner circle forward perfectly clean? I don't know. I 639 00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:24.599 have a brilliant idea. How about we just stop making the inputs be as 640 00:54:24.679 --> 00:54:30.039 lax as they are. Oh, tighten up the input. No, no, 641 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:31.159 no, that guy, what do you mean? No? No, 642 00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:35.360 no, no, that's part that's part of the reason why the buffer issues 643 00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:37.920 is the way it is because the things are so lax, And but then 644 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:43.079 you have st which is another frustration where you're like I did a DP and 645 00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:49.079 it didn't come out. I would rather that than get it give me something 646 00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:54.159 that I wasn't even close to inputting. I play enough st on a weekly 647 00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:58.800 basis to know I don't want that. I'm just saying, like when I 648 00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:01.559 cross under somebody and I get a random level two A jury and I am 649 00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:07.599 not even close to inputting that particular input, that is more frustrating than me. 650 00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:10.239 If something doesn't come out is what it is, so be it. 651 00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:14.960 But like if I do something and it just gives me some random input that 652 00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:22.000 I didn't input, then that's what the Scooper issue is resolved By just requiring 653 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:30.280 multiple button presses. I mean that I have to hit three punches or three 654 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:32.960 kicks to get my super Yeah, but I mean that whole issue is gone. 655 00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:36.519 Yeah. But at the same time, like I'm not saying make it 656 00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:39.440 as tight as what Super Turbo was, or even cap conversus that S and 657 00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:43.440 K was for that matter, or anything, but like, not make it 658 00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:46.320 nearly as lax as it is. There's got to be an in between somewhere 659 00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:53.440 between those. I mean, I don't know why the buffer is for so 660 00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:59.360 long. I imagine there is a reason, probably revolving around drive Rush I'm 661 00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:07.159 sure maybe they come. The game doesn't store my wake up DP input, 662 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:12.360 so I don't know what to tell you. That's like the only input it 663 00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:15.079 doesn't store. At the end of the day, capcom fixt show see it 664 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:20.960 exactly. I think that's that's where I mean. I don't think it's egregious 665 00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:22.800 that I would pall Street Hunters it's a bad game or anything. It's just 666 00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:29.239 it's a minor complaint over a game that I very much love, despite it 667 00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:34.559 annoys me and I have almost broken the five hundred hour mark at this point 668 00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:42.119 in two months. Three months, three months, three months, yeah, 669 00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.599 three months. It has been three months already. It's kind of crazy games 670 00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:49.280 have been out for three months. It is actually pretty well. It feels 671 00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:52.320 like it's been out of here firm it does. I think it just gets 672 00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:57.159 that right now because there's just so many resources out there out there now and 673 00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:01.920 so many people are point are seeing it, and you know, I mean, 674 00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:07.800 it's just a lot more exposure to it. There's some of these resources. 675 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:09.920 There's so many tournaments and stuff too, where like, yeah, there's 676 00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:14.400 there's three part of six tournament every game, every day, every single day. 677 00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:17.679 So it's only been three months, but like it feels like it's been 678 00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:22.320 a year. Stuff. You think, just like almost where people are at 679 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:27.920 with that game now, it's almost like an oversaturation almost well in some ways, 680 00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:32.480 Yeah, it could certainly feel that way, right, Yeah, but 681 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:37.159 there's also like enough players to justify it, like it doesn't it doesn't seem 682 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:40.639 like it's it's too bad. It's like there have definitely been FDC times where 683 00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:44.519 like there's oversaturation, but there's not enough players to kind of go around, 684 00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.639 so like all of it just feels exhausting, right, But it at least 685 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:52.559 seems like there's there's a tournament every day, but it's not for everyone, 686 00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:58.239 right, in every tournament it's getting like a healthy turnout of like unique players. 687 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:01.039 You do have overlap of course people are grinding card but at least seems 688 00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:05.559 like there's a number of unique players for every event. Yeah, and also 689 00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:10.400 various characters are winning events renz Angy just one World Warrior events. Like, 690 00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:16.400 I think it's healthy to see this game thrive as much as it does. 691 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:22.079 Like it. I don't want to breathe the idea of esports in the fighting 692 00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:30.679 games, but like there is a sort of like I appreciate being able to 693 00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:36.159 tune into high level play at almost any point that I want to. Yeah, 694 00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:42.159 and that there are constant matches happening in that, Like there's this constant 695 00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:47.800 discussion of this game, which you want in a competitive game. You want 696 00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:51.800 people to be constantly playing a game, playing it as much as you can. 697 00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:53.960 And I mean there are people out there who are already stating, yeah, 698 00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:58.519 this game's already shut up. You have no idea what you're dog. 699 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:06.400 There's a lot of discourse happening in the FTC twitter verse and all that, 700 00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:15.679 but they're not like they're not exactly. I mean, sure, there was 701 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:22.280 a tweet I saw recently today Kay Brad was talking about how people need to 702 00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:25.920 drop this, not necessarily drop this idea of getting better at the game, 703 00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:31.000 but getting better like the two out of three, which I read that and 704 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:35.079 I'm like, Okay, I get the advice, but I understand that there 705 00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:38.360 are people who are going to read this and take this the complete wrong way 706 00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:45.239 of course, because they're like, that's my problem is I haven't been focusing. 707 00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:49.159 I've been focusing on jets getting better, not in just keeping people in 708 00:59:49.239 --> 00:59:52.039 two at three, because like what that turns into is that turns into people 709 00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:57.440 playing like they do on rant and where they're just little dude the dumbest shit 710 00:59:57.800 --> 01:00:00.039 because they're really just trying to get that w are trying to play random as 711 01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:08.079 heeads like there is not there. There is a benefit to both ideals. 712 01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:15.760 You play long sets in order to increase your play's consistency. Like the reason 713 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:19.800 you do well in a two out of three is because you've already put in 714 01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.840 the work to these long sets to make sure that your play is consistent. 715 01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:29.559 That you've seen this move blocked by Cammy a thousand times, like you've blocked 716 01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:35.280 Cammy sweep a thousand times, that you automatically know I blocked Cammy sweep. 717 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.159 You're not just like a blocked Cammy sweep. How negative is that? What 718 01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:42.159 button am I supposed to hit? It's I've blocked Cammy sweep. I need 719 01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:45.440 to hit Crouch fears here because I get this combo here, and so like 720 01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:51.920 your brain is immediate like block sweet Crouch Fears and then you just dial in 721 01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:55.199 your conbot like that, and that's like the benefit of long sets. And 722 01:00:55.239 --> 01:01:00.480 then once you've done that, once you've created that consistency in your play of 723 01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:05.840 like hey, my opponent can't get away with this because I know what options 724 01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:08.760 beat these options. Then you're like, okay, let's make sure that we 725 01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:13.320 can take this consistency and do it in two out of three sets. And 726 01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:17.519 that's what's really beneficial about these tournaments that happen every day, is like you 727 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:22.000 can take what you've learned in your consistent play and then you can apply them 728 01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:25.760 in this environment that's a two out of three to where you can be like, 729 01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:30.480 Okay, how consistent was my play today or this week in this tournament? 730 01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:35.960 Like how far do we get? Where do we muck up? What 731 01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:37.760 do we need to work on? And then, like you learn in these 732 01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:43.039 tournament environments that are happening every day, you take what you need to work 733 01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:45.000 on, and then you go back to the long sets and you're like, 734 01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:51.199 Okay, I need to find an e Honda player because I didn't have a 735 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:55.519 consistent answer to this situation and I want to go find an e Honda. 736 01:01:55.639 --> 01:02:00.320 Well, first you go to lad you lad out like what you're consistent answer 737 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:02.559 is. Then you go find any Honda player and you play them in a 738 01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:07.679 first one hundred and you're like, cool, I now know, like I 739 01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:12.119 have my consistent option. I now recognize the situation on the fly, and 740 01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:15.519 I am properly punishing the situation appropriately. Now I can take it back to 741 01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:21.519 the two out of three space and a plot, or you could just play 742 01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:25.800 like an idiot because two out of three you just need the dub. You 743 01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:30.440 just need the dub. I'm sure, but I will get yourself. But 744 01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:34.280 I just need the dub right now. All you needs one dub. I 745 01:02:34.280 --> 01:02:38.400 guess listen at a lot of players are only thinking about what's in front of 746 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:42.480 him and not the long term. But you are correct that that is something 747 01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:51.800 you should be doing. It's there there is like I like that tweet because 748 01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:57.079 there are people that do need to, like do some sort of work in 749 01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.159 like trying to get better at adapting to the scenarios quicker right, or at 750 01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:04.920 least recognizing patterns quicker right, because there are people that are that are stronger 751 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:09.239 and longer sets. Right. I am very guilty of that. Yeah, 752 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:15.559 like that is that is a type of play style and in the quote unquote 753 01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:20.960 random play style, like some people play nuttie calculated nuttie, and that works 754 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.119 in short sets. You know that that is a legit thing you can't do 755 01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:29.039 and you can get buys to To this day, pr Ball wrong to me 756 01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:37.039 is one of those that fits that description perfectly. Yeah, So it's it's 757 01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:42.440 like there there are players that do need to focus on like the format that 758 01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:45.719 that they're planning to compete in, and there there's many ways to go around 759 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.559 it, but that is something that players should focus on. Like if your 760 01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:52.440 events are two out of three, you need to focus on how do I 761 01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:57.519 get better in this particular format? Yeah, you do need to. I 762 01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:00.039 definitely agree, you do need to learn how wout you get better in that 763 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:06.440 space? Right, But I just when I read that tweet, I'm just 764 01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:15.719 like, I know people are gonna take this the absolute wrong still. Ye. 765 01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:24.920 People don't know how to read and sentence. So kind of a little 766 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.320 off topic, but just something that I've kind of thought about here because we've 767 01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.639 been talking about Street Fighter six and what it's done, and you know, 768 01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:36.119 especially with all the success it's gotten Zavar and what it's kind of done with 769 01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:40.639 the FGC, with like this big rejuvenation in the sense and everything. Right, 770 01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:46.599 we are a few weeks away from m K one, and we're we're 771 01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:54.159 months away now officially from tech and eight eight. Yeah, and though Street 772 01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:58.559 Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and techn are considered the big three, they are. 773 01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:08.039 I am curious it's to see how things continue to develop once MK one 774 01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:13.679 and Tech and eight both hit their releases as well, because Capcom's kind of 775 01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:18.000 set a they kind of set the bar in some aspects, especially with you 776 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:24.840 know the two million dollar cash prize guarantee that's going to be at Capcom Pro 777 01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:31.599 Tour. Mortal Kombat has been by far the biggest seller of those fighting games 778 01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:36.840 here in the US, and that's including Street Fighter six and techns numbers combined, 779 01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:43.000 Mortal Kombat has been the superior when it comes to that. They've also 780 01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:47.039 low key have had really high cash prizes for like their their MK sponsored events 781 01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:53.920 as well. Yeah, so I'm curious this kind of see, like how 782 01:05:55.000 --> 01:06:00.960 things continue to evolve once those games hit releases and everything, because I mean 783 01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:04.800 the other things too with a Mortal Kombat they got that Warner Brothers money they 784 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:11.760 do, so I mean there's a I'm just kind of curious to see how 785 01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:16.679 things evolve once those games do drop and we continue also seeing the Street Fighter 786 01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:20.960 sixty growth and everything. It could Yeah, like there could be a pretty 787 01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:30.440 big stepping Stone as far as like how events and how like just everything in 788 01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:34.519 general kind of evolves with with those games, you know, the Big Three 789 01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:39.960 once they're out and everything, and like how things get set up for each 790 01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:43.639 of those communities and everything. Yeah, you know that they have to be 791 01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:48.400 taking notes on like what KYP comes doing, and while like who knows how 792 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:54.320 much of it gets into the game like on release, but you have to 793 01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:57.320 at least think that, like they're taking notes on like how are they running 794 01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:00.960 their their esports stuff, Like what are players getting excited for? How are 795 01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:03.719 we going to integrate that into whatever it is that they're going to do. 796 01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:09.639 I'm curious. I'm very curious to see what they do. I know, 797 01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:14.199 Another Round never really had like a world poor per se in the same way 798 01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:17.320 that like tech In and Street Fighter has had. Right sure, I wonder 799 01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:20.039 if that's something that they'll want to step up and try to do, because 800 01:07:20.039 --> 01:07:27.119 they're also promoting that game pretty hard and like trying to like really dig into 801 01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:30.519 the community, especially with like this this release. Right, I'll be honest, 802 01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:35.239 I'm kind of digging what I'm seeing gameplay wise with them k one. 803 01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:40.719 It looks very cool. I'm kind of digging it. I didn't think I 804 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:45.639 would, but I'm definitely liking what they're doing or like from the stuff i've 805 01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:49.719 seen with it so far. Yeah. Yeah, it's very interesting that they're 806 01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:58.559 making like an assist based fighting game and it seems pretty wild. Also, 807 01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:03.119 they probably get one of the best redesigns ever to a character in which one 808 01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:09.880 in reptile, oh the reptiles rather with sick. Yeah, it's probably one 809 01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:15.000 of the best redesigns I've seen for a character in a WAYA Yeah, incredible. 810 01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:21.399 So yeah, that's a that's a few weeks away. September nineteen seem 811 01:08:21.840 --> 01:08:29.560 Omni Man, Oh my god, say goes. I'm not I'm not big 812 01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:34.760 on the DLC characters personally anymore. I think they're fun. It's fun. 813 01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:42.600 Yeah, that's fun. They've had some really really good cameos. I think 814 01:08:42.600 --> 01:08:45.960 it's weird that they have both Omni Man and Homelander like that. It's kind 815 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:49.359 of like that's kind of the same characters, actually the same character, right, 816 01:08:49.560 --> 01:08:54.000 But it's also funny in my brain. Yeah, I'm like, this 817 01:08:54.079 --> 01:09:00.760 is goofy. I do wonder for it. Piece Pacemaker, Peacekeeper, Peacemaker, 818 01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:06.800 Peacemaker. I think it's I'm curious about Actually, I'm curious if they 819 01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:12.279 actually do use John Cena. They have to, right, I would think 820 01:09:13.079 --> 01:09:15.199 I feel like they would. They have to. I mean, it's design 821 01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:18.600 designed off of them. Yeah, it's signed off of them, and that's 822 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:21.680 that's Warner Brothers. So like, yeah, they have him in the pocket. 823 01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:28.720 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fully anticipating that John 824 01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:32.760 Cena mod oh boy, oh Lloyd if they don't just straight up put it 825 01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:42.199 in yeah, true too. Hm. But anyway, we was derailed. 826 01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:48.439 That happens, it does. I appreciate the derailman, I am oh, 827 01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:56.439 hell yeah, fans doing wonders.

And I'm 831 01:10:13.720 --> 01:10:15.479 like when he got sent to losers by Raynald, I was like, hmm, 832 01:10:15.880 --> 01:10:18.319 this might suck. And now he's fucking fighting back and I'm like, 833 01:10:18.439 --> 01:10:25.520 yeah, let's go listen. Snake Eyes is the US version of fab Yeah. 834 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:30.880 Yeah, I love snak guys. I watched Snake Eyes stream a lot, 835 01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:34.279 yeah, because he streams late, right, Like, he's one of 836 01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:36.039 the only people that, like, I'll be up at three o'clock in the 837 01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:40.359 morning and he's just like fucking vibing on rank and he's West coast. He's 838 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:44.520 West coast too, right, so he's like yeah, yeah, yeah, 839 01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:47.319 yeah, that that's the only the only Zank Gife in the world as far 840 01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:51.239 as I know. Yep, that's that's He's the American version of FAB. 841 01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:55.239 When you create your tier list, yes, Zan Giefe is low tier, 842 01:10:55.359 --> 01:11:00.960 but when you pair him with Snake Eyes, he's a high tier. Tiers 843 01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:08.000 said about Itabashi here, but I also said the US version of FAB. 844 01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:12.039 I do love Itabashi. I do like Itabashi as well. But we all 845 01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.399 we all know Fab. Listen, let's listen. Listen. I'm just saying 846 01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:20.279 Itabashi ain't no snake eyes, all right. I would agree that that's that's 847 01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:27.439 all. That's all I'm saying. I would agree anyway, Uh, Drew, 848 01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:31.239 what else you got it for me? Oh well, I mean that's 849 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:36.000 it. On the stream Fighter sixth front, I start uh. I started 850 01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:45.880 actually putting time into uh Octopath Champions on the continent. Okay, on your 851 01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:51.439 mobile device and they're running a summer banner. So those bastards. I did 852 01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:58.159 not expect a summer banner to be in that game. They ran a summer 853 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:01.920 banner. I hate them for it, but they did it. But I 854 01:12:01.960 --> 01:12:06.399 did manage to like win that summer banner in a single ten role. Hell 855 01:12:06.479 --> 01:12:11.159 yeah, it's fine. I got both units in a single ten role and 856 01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:16.079 with it. Sometimes you just fucking you know, sometimes you get the dumb 857 01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:25.039 Yeah you That's all I can ask for you. Yeah, sick shit. 858 01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:32.319 Anyway, I gotta say that the story in that game, I'm not like 859 01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:35.119 super Far. I'm in like chapter three. I started on the Path of 860 01:12:35.279 --> 01:12:45.600 Wealth. Yeah, the boss of that route is for media. That story 861 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:50.399 it's fucking dark, real fast, you go fast. Yeah all right. 862 01:12:51.119 --> 01:12:57.039 I was not aware this was where we were headed. Bro, I don't 863 01:12:57.039 --> 01:12:59.359 know if you remember. Like when I was staying the Japanese Verson, I 864 01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:01.840 was like, through this, this game has some shit. That was the 865 01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:05.000 path that I started, and I was like, m this is gonna be 866 01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:11.880 some good ship. Just like I'm looking forward to playing more of that. 867 01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:15.960 I am. I don't think it's just mobile games. I think I'm just 868 01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:23.479 really lazy about playing video games lately, and I don't know why. I 869 01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:31.960 don't know, man, it's Tom. Shush. Well you did start a 870 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:34.239 little bit of Armor Corps, right, did you at least play like the 871 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:41.720 tutorial stuff? Uh? Yeah, I talk in the character buildings for the 872 01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:45.079 past two hours. I'm defullly doing it right now because I am talking and 873 01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:49.079 like designing my emblem. I found a theme I wanted to go with, 874 01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:56.199 and that's what we're doing. I mean, King of Games, King of 875 01:13:56.279 --> 01:14:00.319 Games, King of Games. So like you're you know, you're your deck 876 01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:04.199 on there. We need to design a King of Games logo. Yes, 877 01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:09.640 specifically for true it's gonna be King of Games. Is gonna have a card 878 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:15.039 deck? Yeah yeah, or a few cards of Drew's favorite cards. There's 879 01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:17.239 some cards on that logo and then yeah, put the car put the card. 880 01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:19.760 I got I got it, I got it. Yeah, it's your 881 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:25.279 your cards in the middle, and then around the cards in the in in 882 01:14:25.600 --> 01:14:30.159 like you know, old like the old English text or whatever. King of 883 01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:34.880 on the top of games. On the bottom, there's no games. There's 884 01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:42.159 madding, and there's madding. We can mod. You just have to get 885 01:14:42.199 --> 01:14:45.520 the PC version. You may never play the PC version, but it's gonna 886 01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:47.159 be It'll be there, It'll be there, It'll be there. Yes, 887 01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:50.760 you got You're gonna buy it for your Steam deck and it's gonna be there. 888 01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:59.479 Or or we take Drew's like face put a crown on it sideways. 889 01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:03.680 Oh and then put King of Games that way. Okay, so we're retiring 890 01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:08.119 to make and Drew and we're going with King Drew. Yes, okay, 891 01:15:08.319 --> 01:15:12.159 I under said, shout out the stake, guys winning sept event. He 892 01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:21.279 did win three zero thereset bodied fucking bodied bodied. Uh, but you at 893 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:24.640 least like played a little bit right, Like, how how you feel about 894 01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:30.039 the control the leff on? I played the intro level, so to to 895 01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:35.800 give some context, Armored Corps Like, I have very fond memories of playing 896 01:15:35.880 --> 01:15:40.800 Armored cor two and three and my friend's house growing up in middle school. 897 01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:46.720 I love these games. I never really played like four and five for whatever 898 01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:50.159 reason, mainly because someone told me, yeah, Armored Corps four just doesn't 899 01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:53.960 play like Armored Corp. And I'm like, oh, okay, I guess 900 01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:57.880 I won't check it out for myself, and I just never did. And 901 01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.720 then like there was a point where I was going to check out Armored five, 902 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.239 but like I wanted to do it with friends, and then like that 903 01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:05.760 just never panned out. So that just never panned out. And then they 904 01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:09.720 announced over four six and I'm like, oh, well, okay, he's 905 01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:14.760 gonna be the one. Yeah, and so I'm playing through the first level 906 01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:20.920 and this jump just feels fucking great. It feels smooth, like it feels 907 01:16:20.960 --> 01:16:24.399 like like, I'll be honest, it felt like I was in middle school 908 01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:30.079 game like it just I've always preferred Armored Core to like all of the Gundham 909 01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:39.680 games to get my Gundham fix, like the what was the Gunham Versus game 910 01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:43.600 that everybody was on Enbon or whatever, like as far as like the fighting 911 01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:48.039 game team was concerned. Like I never really felt like I was piloting a 912 01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:56.840 giant Mechani game. I felt like I was playing some random bullshit and yeah, 913 01:16:58.039 --> 01:17:00.760 are you telling me that that smooths canceled and all the other shit isn't 914 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:06.319 isn't piloting a robot? I mean it is if you want to see anime 915 01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:17.960 anyway. Not the point. The point here is I like this. I 916 01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:23.640 like I like what I have already played, Like everything felt intuitive, like 917 01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:28.119 movement felt really good, Like I'm just like signing around. Like the bass 918 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:31.079 fight at the beginning or at the end of the first mission was really sick 919 01:17:31.439 --> 01:17:34.920 because like you're just ducking and weaving and like you're getting your shots in and 920 01:17:34.920 --> 01:17:38.680 you're like, Okay, I think I can run at him and hit what 921 01:17:38.760 --> 01:17:40.920 sort. Like I'm telling you, it's like I was playing I was in 922 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.439 middle school again. I was just like this, I feel at home, 923 01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:50.840 and this game is sick. I don't understand the multi lock because like I 924 01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:55.680 remember that being a thing in older Armor Corps games, and like I would 925 01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:59.560 try the multi lock, but I couldn't multilock multiple enemies, like it would 926 01:17:59.600 --> 01:18:01.359 just re set the target. You can you explain that to me, Rob 927 01:18:01.479 --> 01:18:06.079 or I can't because I haven't played a ton ton and it it's weird because 928 01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:11.479 like the multilock, like you hold down the button and you can multilock multiple 929 01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:16.279 targets, but it, like the UI is thin't clear about like it targeting 930 01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:21.319 other and like multiple enemies or at least at least from what I've gathered. 931 01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:27.239 And I mean I've only played like six stages, right, so like I'm 932 01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:30.760 still feeling it out myself. Right, But but like when I release the 933 01:18:30.039 --> 01:18:34.600 button, like missiles hit multiple targets, and I'm like, visually, I 934 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:38.479 don't. I don't see it, Like I don't see the indicator saying that 935 01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:45.119 I've walked on multiple times but it works, so I don't. I don't 936 01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:47.439 get it either, Like I need I need to pay more attention or at 937 01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:49.720 least play more of it, you know what I mean, mess around more. 938 01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:54.479 But I'm right there with you. Like that feels off in a way 939 01:18:54.520 --> 01:19:01.319 that like I can't particularly explain my old man sensibilities on this point. Yeah, 940 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:05.039 maybe it's a very subtle thing, but I don't know. I'll make 941 01:19:05.119 --> 01:19:13.359 more attention next time I booted up, you know, but like just just 942 01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:19.920 playing that, like I had planned to play multiple missions before recording, and 943 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:26.119 then I just got caught on the treaking like Emblemaker, and I'm like, 944 01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:28.920 well, all right, I guess we need to do this, even though 945 01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:31.439 I don't intend to really do the PvP in this game, because I just 946 01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:36.760 don't need that kind of stress in my life, which means it's gonna one 947 01:19:36.880 --> 01:19:42.279 v one Come on, man, No, No, I don't, I 948 01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:46.359 don't. I don't need to do that. I don't like I, I 949 01:19:46.399 --> 01:19:50.520 don't know how to do things for fun anymore. I just don't. I 950 01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:55.279 can't do it all right, I can't wait till Nipco band I announces the 951 01:19:55.359 --> 01:20:00.399 one million dollar Armor Corps World Tour. Let me should a. I think 952 01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:09.039 this will happen. It's gonna happen. Attention all Ravens, I see it. 953 01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:15.600 But I agree with you though, like that this game is really tight. 954 01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:18.479 I have the same experience as you, where like I played a lot 955 01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:23.520 of Armor Cord two. In Armor Cord three, I didn't play too much 956 01:20:23.560 --> 01:20:28.199 of four, and I played some of five because my old roommate, like 957 01:20:28.199 --> 01:20:33.000 we played a little bit of a co op in five. But like either 958 01:20:33.079 --> 01:20:35.840 I wasn't like in the head space for it, or something felt off about 959 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:40.079 where like this it didn't feel good to me, Like I didn't want to 960 01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:43.039 continue playing it in the way that I like I was addicted to like two 961 01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:45.720 and three, right, And I can't properly explain why it was like there 962 01:20:45.800 --> 01:20:49.439 was like the way the missions work or just how how it felt was just 963 01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:56.039 kind of whatever. But boy did I fucking grind too and loved all the 964 01:20:56.119 --> 01:21:00.760 dumb shit of like causing your PS two to explode crash. I'm pretty sure 965 01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:02.920 I beat Armored Core to you, like one of the routes in a night. 966 01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:10.199 Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure I've done something similar. So like 967 01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:13.840 playing six just was like a refresher. It was just like, Yo, 968 01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:16.920 this this feels like how I remember those games feeling. And I haven't touch 969 01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:19.520 those games in a very long time, and I'm sure they're like clunky in 970 01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:24.479 their own ways and weird trying to go back to them, but like in 971 01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:28.319 my brain, this is how Armored Core feels, and it feels fucking good. 972 01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:31.479 And I'll say this is like you're playing on costs on playing on PC, 973 01:21:31.640 --> 01:21:36.680 and I'll say this is probably like the best PC port that from Soft 974 01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:40.560 has ever done, because remember, like their PC ports are a little borked 975 01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:44.000 here or there, right it be it tark Soul's eldering, whatever it is. 976 01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:45.800 They always have like some sort of issue with them and it takes multiple 977 01:21:45.800 --> 01:21:51.520 patches for them to fix it. But this one launched like Lawless in a 978 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:58.039 way that like took me back. So it's like I get to play this 979 01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:00.640 game in like the highest settings at like one twenty FS and I'm just like 980 01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:03.800 this, no hitch in site, no crashes, no nothing. I'm just 981 01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:08.079 like, oh, damn fucking y'all show it out for this release, Like 982 01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:13.119 holy shit, this this is fucking fantastic. And every time I touch it, 983 01:22:13.159 --> 01:22:15.479 I'm like I want to sit down and play it for hours, but 984 01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:19.640 I'm like, I need to go finish other games. Like I can't dedicate 985 01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:24.199 like the eight hours. I want to just like dump into it at one 986 01:22:24.239 --> 01:22:28.119 time. But like my experience has been like I'm going to do like a 987 01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:30.399 mission or two, maybe like replay one mission to get a little extra extra 988 01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:34.079 money to buy more parts, and then like I need to move on something 989 01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:39.319 else. But I can very much see this game being like my nighttime like 990 01:22:39.399 --> 01:22:42.439 before bed game right where it's just like Okay, I'm gonna do a couple 991 01:22:42.439 --> 01:22:45.319 of missions and then like go because like the mission structure is like very quick, 992 01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:50.359 like every mission is only like five to ten minutes. Probably. Oh 993 01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:55.960 that's what is you go in. You have this objective like you drag things 994 01:22:56.079 --> 01:23:00.680 up right then you get out. Like like for me, I remember like 995 01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.319 doing the arena a lot growing up, and like that was my goal was 996 01:23:03.399 --> 01:23:08.680 getting to the top of the top of the arena. Yeah, and from 997 01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:12.279 what I understand that that is in here as well, and in Chase has 998 01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:16.560 completed the arena, and that seems like that is its own wild time. 999 01:23:16.840 --> 01:23:20.439 That seems like it's gonna be very fun. I'll say, like the game 1000 01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:26.560 is feels difficult at points too. I know that that tutorial boss catches a 1001 01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:30.199 lot of people off guard because the game. The first time I got him 1002 01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:36.439 on the second trial, it took me three or four until like someone actually 1003 01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:40.359 had to tell me, like they want you to just be aggressive here, 1004 01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:44.039 and then I was like, oh, because you know, you know me, 1005 01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:47.840 Like I really don't ran away from him until like I got into a 1006 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:51.840 good spot where I can do like the full screen dash and yes, like 1007 01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:56.319 slash at them, but they want you to do that. You I'm not 1008 01:23:56.319 --> 01:23:59.560 gonna say you can't. But it is very hard to just sell him out 1009 01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:01.359 completely for the entire fight. Like you're going to get hit and you're going 1010 01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:04.399 to stake damage and it's going to outdamage you. It's not designed for you 1011 01:24:04.479 --> 01:24:10.680 to zone him. It is designed for you to be like you have a 1012 01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:15.680 laser sword, fucking get in that assi and slice him up right, and 1013 01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:18.680 like you can stay in on him. The entire so like the fourth time 1014 01:24:18.720 --> 01:24:21.760 that that I did it, and like I was told, like, hey, 1015 01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:25.119 you did just go in. It was like, oh, it's just 1016 01:24:25.119 --> 01:24:28.239 like I waxed him because it's just like I'm just constantly in there. I 1017 01:24:28.279 --> 01:24:30.359 slash him twice. He tries to go away, and like before he can 1018 01:24:30.439 --> 01:24:33.960 even position himself again, I'm in his face again, slashing him again, 1019 01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:36.560 and I'm like, I see what this game wants me to do now, 1020 01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:45.560 And that's been fun to say the least. I hear the chapter one boss 1021 01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:48.439 is like the real skill check, Like I hear that that is, so 1022 01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:53.359 that's been throwing people for a loop. So I'm excited to see what that's 1023 01:24:53.399 --> 01:25:00.520 about that chapter. Have you also only done the store? It's a toial 1024 01:25:00.600 --> 01:25:09.399 and like several other little small missions afterwards, like smaller missions afterwards. So 1025 01:25:10.119 --> 01:25:13.159 I'm very curious because like there are people that are like bouncing off the game 1026 01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:15.399 after that one like that, this is where it gets quote unquote hard. 1027 01:25:16.680 --> 01:25:18.840 So I'm not, well, we'll see. I mean, I'm excited. 1028 01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:25.199 I'm excited to play more of this game. I'm I'm impressed by how well 1029 01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:30.319 it runs on the seam deck. I was expecting a shit show, but 1030 01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:34.199 it is a very solid experience on there. You're not getting sixty fps, 1031 01:25:34.199 --> 01:25:41.159 but you're getting like forty five, like a clean forty five, which is 1032 01:25:41.199 --> 01:25:44.680 cool. Like it it's cool enough to where like I can grind smallermissions like 1033 01:25:44.680 --> 01:25:46.119 I don't want to play the big set piece moments on it, you know 1034 01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:48.920 what I mean. But like if I'm in bed and I just want to 1035 01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:51.159 grind for credits and stuff like that, I'm like, Okay, I'm going 1036 01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:54.560 to replay a couple of stages on here. This is fine, you know, 1037 01:25:55.159 --> 01:25:56.960 do a couple of neck tweaks here or there. If I have an 1038 01:25:56.960 --> 01:26:00.039 idea for something like I can see that's where I'm gonna get used out of 1039 01:26:00.119 --> 01:26:01.800 that. And they're like, when I want to push story and see like 1040 01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:05.119 the big cool stuff, It's like, okay, I'm sitting at my desktop, 1041 01:26:05.279 --> 01:26:10.000 like we're going in. So I'm impressed with the release overall, you 1042 01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:16.840 know, it seems very good. Of course they added Anyway, I was 1043 01:26:17.439 --> 01:26:23.520 more like happy about the A two with the they got. They gave it 1044 01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:30.600 a short hair look they did. Ryan posted the Nicaid costumes for I'm excited 1045 01:26:30.640 --> 01:26:32.800 about the time. I'm gonna lab I can't help it, and I was 1046 01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:35.479 like, of course they put the self destruct to be outfit in there. 1047 01:26:35.479 --> 01:26:39.079 Of course they did, Yes, they did. I want to go in 1048 01:26:39.119 --> 01:26:50.920 there again anyway. I want to cry Doree your things. No, I 1049 01:26:51.039 --> 01:26:56.399 just I w I have been really excited for this release. I'm really mad 1050 01:26:56.479 --> 01:27:00.159 that I haven't been able to keep up with this game's release or this year 1051 01:27:00.640 --> 01:27:03.319 releases, because like, I really wanted to have Revery done by the time 1052 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:08.560 this team out so I could just dedicate time to this game, as I 1053 01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:16.479 spent in two and a half hours in a fucking logo creator. But oh 1054 01:27:16.720 --> 01:27:26.000 man, it's just I like it when games make me feel like I was 1055 01:27:26.039 --> 01:27:30.279 when I was younger, Like I like this the feeling that this game gives 1056 01:27:30.319 --> 01:27:33.319 me when I play it, Like it feels good to play it felt intuitive 1057 01:27:33.359 --> 01:27:36.760 to play it, like I didn't really have to like start digging through many 1058 01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:39.840 as to be are like, okay, how do I do this? What? 1059 01:27:40.199 --> 01:27:44.439 Even though like this game it's entirely about micromanagement and like making sure like 1060 01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:48.279 the stats of your AC or in line, that's fine because it's still like 1061 01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:51.560 intuitive. Meanwhile, I'll go play in RPG and I'll just see all these 1062 01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:55.840 summers. I'm like, man, what the fuck I want to do this? 1063 01:27:56.279 --> 01:28:00.279 Yeah, And maybe that's just the old man in me now, Like 1064 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:11.840 I appreciate the simple sensibilities of this game with like the modern presentation, if 1065 01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:17.960 that makes sense. I think it makes some sense. I think the some 1066 01:28:18.039 --> 01:28:20.960 of the number stuff in this game and like the parts of stuff can be 1067 01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:27.840 overwhelming and a way that an Armorcord game is like this is very much life 1068 01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:32.560 arm Records Games of ult right, but it is done in a way that 1069 01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:39.319 is digestible. It is done in a way where like if you're open to 1070 01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:44.640 that sort of thing, it is not particularly like tough to sort of stift 1071 01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:46.640 through. It's just like on the surface, I'm like, oh, I'm 1072 01:28:46.640 --> 01:28:50.199 going to have all this stuff to like think about and do and blah blah 1073 01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:54.319 blah blah. But like when as you're equipping stuff and you're just seeing like 1074 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:56.439 the numbers at the bottom, you're like, okay, this is blue, 1075 01:28:56.479 --> 01:28:59.079 So this is good. This is what I value. Okay, click click 1076 01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:01.439 click, I'm done. You know, like it's it's still pretty easy to 1077 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:08.520 parts. I feel, yeah, they did a good job like balancing that, 1078 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:15.279 I think, so I legitimately think so, yeah, is that the 1079 01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:26.479 first seen some Champions contest Refirst six. I've bought the Messenger. Oh this 1080 01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:30.640 something else I bought on Steam Deck. I like this clip from High Fight. 1081 01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:36.840 That's a snake guys carried Zangiefe to Capcom Cup. All right, bought 1082 01:29:36.880 --> 01:29:45.640 this Blue game? You bought the Blaze Blue game? Like, uh, 1083 01:29:45.840 --> 01:29:51.319 that game's cool. I thought about getting it, Like, all right, 1084 01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:57.560 that game is kind of like Dead Cells, if like Dead Cells had no 1085 01:29:57.680 --> 01:30:03.119 direction or like any way to present and so like a Blaze Blue game kind 1086 01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:11.359 of like it's very clear that this game was not initially not supposed to be 1087 01:30:11.720 --> 01:30:15.560 a Blaze Blue game, and that somewhere later in development they threw the Blaze 1088 01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:21.159 Blue license at it, And I mean that's fine. Uh, the game 1089 01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:25.960 is still in early access and they can like spend some more of that time 1090 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:30.600 of the early access moment of like tailor it more towards Blaze Blue. But 1091 01:30:30.760 --> 01:30:34.680 like the game play there, like what's there is cool? I don't like 1092 01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:40.079 how the game locks you from characters, and I haven't figured out I haven't 1093 01:30:40.239 --> 01:30:45.920 really played much of it, but like I haven't figured out how to unlock 1094 01:30:45.079 --> 01:30:53.039 new characters, and you are locked into only using Himmocky from Blaze Blue first, 1095 01:30:53.359 --> 01:31:00.800 which character? Pick really odd character? Pick Rag Yeah, what Rogna 1096 01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:09.560 doesn't exist anymore, he's in that game. It's really Rogna though it's it's 1097 01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:13.920 Ragnetic. Well it's it's not really any Blaze Blue character because you're a robot 1098 01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:18.039 that copies like the Blaze I don't I don't know there's a story there. 1099 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:29.119 I don't know what it is. Yeah, like game kind of Actually this 1100 01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:32.399 is actually more Blaze Blue adjacent than you really realize. Yeah, you talk 1101 01:31:32.439 --> 01:31:36.680 about it when you start seeing a robot, is other Blaze Blue characters as 1102 01:31:36.720 --> 01:31:45.760 if not every Blaze Blue character is just Noel hm fair point. So so 1103 01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:50.640 anyway, like what I have, what I've played, I have enjoyed it. 1104 01:31:51.039 --> 01:31:54.680 I would enjoy it more if I could play as mine, which I 1105 01:31:54.760 --> 01:31:57.439 really want to play as mine, but I can't figure out how to unlock 1106 01:31:57.640 --> 01:32:00.399 my There's like some sort of special current thing that you get by like getting 1107 01:32:00.439 --> 01:32:03.800 farther in the game, but I haven't sat down to dedicate enough time to 1108 01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:11.399 get farther enough in the game to like unlock that right, and like not 1109 01:32:11.439 --> 01:32:14.800 being able to play the character I want to play, just not motivate me 1110 01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:17.279 to play the game, even to unlock said character, if that makes any 1111 01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:23.880 sense. Sounds like the game is kind of It's all right. I will 1112 01:32:23.960 --> 01:32:27.520 talk more of it and we'll develop a better opinion, but as of right 1113 01:32:27.560 --> 01:32:31.039 now, I was like, Okay, I've got other things to play. 1114 01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:36.760 Yeah, I will say that the gameplay is good, but it is not 1115 01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:41.439 enough to pull me away from whatever the else, whatever the hell else I'm 1116 01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:46.439 playing. I think that's fair. I think that's fair assessment. Cool. 1117 01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:49.520 Yeah, as like, there's all these other tight games that I really want 1118 01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:55.039 to play, like marmad four and In Trials and The Messenger and CEF Stars, 1119 01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:59.319 and there was like something else that I was like, oh, yeah, 1120 01:32:59.359 --> 01:33:00.920 I should fuck and play that, boulders Gate. I guess I don't 1121 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:03.000 know. I don't think you're gonna get a game. What's something you play? 1122 01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:09.720 Fucking Zelda? You should play Zelda. I have a growing list of 1123 01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:15.520 like bookmarks on Twitter that like, I just want to shove in Drew's face, 1124 01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:18.800 but I can't because he hasn't played Zelda. Mm hmm, and it 1125 01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:24.479 is driving me insane. Kind of have to play Zelda. I have so 1126 01:33:24.560 --> 01:33:32.159 many. I will look at Twitter and then I'm like, hmm, Tears 1127 01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:36.399 of my Kingdom. I will bookmark it and I'm like, I can't wait 1128 01:33:36.439 --> 01:33:42.760 to show this to Drew in six months. It will be Beating Bright at 1129 01:33:42.800 --> 01:33:46.560 the end of the year, which will be Beach by the end of the 1130 01:33:46.640 --> 01:33:54.439 year. But anyway, that right now, what else I've been doing. 1131 01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:58.159 Go watch The Rookie on Hulu. I've been watching that and that show is 1132 01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:03.720 pretty good. Cool alright, I like being a good crime drama and yeah, 1133 01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:06.960 it's a video game, right, No, no, it's not anyway, 1134 01:34:08.439 --> 01:34:12.600 rob speaking of crime dramas. So I finished playing Yakause like Ishan like 1135 01:34:12.640 --> 01:34:17.880 a Dragon Ishan. I beat. I wrote credits last night. I know 1136 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:23.359 last week I talked about it a little bit getting into it and how like 1137 01:34:24.359 --> 01:34:26.880 you know, as per usual with like the beat him up versions of these 1138 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:30.079 games, I don't really feel the combat as much. So like I did 1139 01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:32.039 get to a point where, like I did throw it down on easy because 1140 01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:40.159 I'm just like I want to get through the story understandable. Yeah, that 1141 01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:45.600 game is fucking fantastic. I love that story so much. It sent it 1142 01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:55.279 around the character Sakamatoma, who is who is key to you basically, as 1143 01:34:55.399 --> 01:35:03.600 as he is trying to look for his his adoptive father's murderer, and that 1144 01:35:03.720 --> 01:35:09.359 leads him to the city of Kio, which is what Kilto was before it 1145 01:35:09.560 --> 01:35:12.800 was the name Kilto, and it is around the era of the Shinsan Gumi, 1146 01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:17.600 right, and he has like, uh, the these these clues that 1147 01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:20.960 like the person he is looking for is tied to the Shinzan Gumi somehow, 1148 01:35:21.159 --> 01:35:26.560 so he is going to infiltrate the Shinsan Gumi. So it is a really 1149 01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:33.840 wild story of like becoming part of that group of historical figures right in the 1150 01:35:33.880 --> 01:35:39.680 story of Sakamotaryoma is like a real story. It is not like one for 1151 01:35:39.840 --> 01:35:43.880 one, but it is based off of a true story, which I find 1152 01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:46.520 very interesting because I was reading up on it earlier today actually and I was 1153 01:35:46.560 --> 01:35:50.239 like, oh, this is this character and they had like a very similar 1154 01:35:50.239 --> 01:35:53.439 story arc to like what was going on in the game, and I was 1155 01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:58.039 like, oh, that's very cool. So so that that was very neat, 1156 01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:01.840 but man, it was it's everything you expect out of RGG game, 1157 01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:05.199 right, Like the intro chapter like pulls you in. You have like the 1158 01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:12.600 goofy side stories, like the emotional mid sections, the fucking the ten thousand 1159 01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:16.359 IQ plays of all of these these characters that you're just so like suspicious of 1160 01:36:17.600 --> 01:36:23.960 just blowing your mind every fucking corner. You never really know what character is 1161 01:36:23.960 --> 01:36:29.000 gonna get axed off next, and it's just like what is happening? And 1162 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:32.000 you finally get to the end and it ties everything together like really well and 1163 01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:36.479 ends with a very strong message of just like hope for Japan, And it's 1164 01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:42.079 just like, bro, So there's like an RGG game sounds like a fucking 1165 01:36:42.239 --> 01:36:45.760 RGG game. Man, It's just it's another banger like that Studio does not 1166 01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:50.920 miss every one of their games, fucking bangers. I cannot get over the 1167 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:55.359 fact that, like they have such like consistently good writing throw out like all 1168 01:36:55.359 --> 01:36:58.520 of their fucking games. You mentioned how you lowered the difficulty just to get 1169 01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:00.319 through the game, So I kind of think, did you do that and 1170 01:37:00.920 --> 01:37:04.640 lost the judgment too? I did? You did? I did? I 1171 01:37:04.680 --> 01:37:09.680 did? I got to my judgment too? Where else? Like that might 1172 01:37:09.720 --> 01:37:15.600 just be my trend with these games going forward. I don't know, Well, 1173 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:16.920 we'll see what I do with like like a Dragon Guide in right, 1174 01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:20.159 because that's also another of the beat them up style, right, because that's 1175 01:37:20.279 --> 01:37:26.000 that's the key story story, right, And like what I'm here for is 1176 01:37:26.199 --> 01:37:28.119 in terms of the battle system, is like I just want to see the 1177 01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:31.720 goofy heat actions, right, Like the actual fights themselves don't do much for 1178 01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:35.960 me. And I'll say, like for Ishan's case, I think it's actually 1179 01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:42.600 like, in some ways feels better than some of the other games, because 1180 01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:46.960 like the bosses at times they have like random points of armor that like really 1181 01:37:47.000 --> 01:37:49.960 bothers me and like the other games, but it doesn't feel as bad in 1182 01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:57.119 this game. What was what was tripping me up and ultimately what led me 1183 01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:00.960 to lower the difficulty was that this game, Folcus is on equipment a lot 1184 01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:05.199 more than the other games do, and there's a there's a whole crafting system 1185 01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:10.680 all like a Monster Hunter, where there's like crafting trees for like your swords 1186 01:38:10.680 --> 01:38:15.000 and your guns and like special weapons and stuff. And I really didn't want 1187 01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:18.079 to take the time to go through and like farm from materials because there's like 1188 01:38:18.640 --> 01:38:27.720 another one of their smaller mini games where you like form a squad and you 1189 01:38:27.760 --> 01:38:30.159 send them out into like dungeons. Right, Oh, it's just like the 1190 01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:33.359 like the Clan Creator things. Yeah. Yeah, from the other games. 1191 01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:39.920 It's very similar, except like you you get your your squad together and they 1192 01:38:40.039 --> 01:38:45.439 basically act as like buffs for Realma, and you're playing as Realma going through 1193 01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:49.760 like these dungeons and you can like use your squad members to give you buffs 1194 01:38:49.760 --> 01:38:53.279 while you like kill the enemies and brawl your way through the end of the 1195 01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:59.000 dungeon. That almost sounds like that was a something that I think it might 1196 01:38:59.039 --> 01:39:02.680 have been at six. It might have been. I'm sure it was in 1197 01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:06.279 one of them. Let's see ye all played together at this point. Yeah, 1198 01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:09.159 because the six was kind of cool though, because it had the New 1199 01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:13.119 Japan guys that were the boss That is true. That is true. It 1200 01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:15.840 was pretty dope. I haven't played Yoxa six yet, but I saw the 1201 01:39:16.880 --> 01:39:26.039 boss fight that chasted when he was fighting Okada, and when you hear Okada's 1202 01:39:26.159 --> 01:39:29.279 like New Japan theme as like the boss music and stuff like that, which 1203 01:39:29.319 --> 01:39:32.039 is the rain his Rainmaker theme. Yes, it's it was so good. 1204 01:39:32.319 --> 01:39:36.479 It was so good. That was like the best part of Yakuza six was, 1205 01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:43.520 you know, fighting Okada. There are there are like collab characters for 1206 01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:45.920 these squads as well, so I know, I think Kenny Omega is one 1207 01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:49.079 of them. Yeah, he is in this. There's a couple of other 1208 01:39:49.439 --> 01:39:55.960 other people in there as well. But it's overall like a cool system. 1209 01:39:56.000 --> 01:40:00.079 It's just like with how my time is right now and I'm trying to it 1210 01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:02.079 through and stay on top of video games, It's like I don't I can't 1211 01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:05.560 spend the time, you know. Yeah, I really didn't want to spend 1212 01:40:05.600 --> 01:40:10.479 the time in there to gather these materials to go through the crafting tree. 1213 01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:13.199 So it's just like, let me just light out, buy the best thing 1214 01:40:13.239 --> 01:40:16.680 I can right now. I'll lower the difficulty and then we're just gonna get 1215 01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:21.119 through this. But what's there is very cool, like if you have the 1216 01:40:21.119 --> 01:40:25.279 time, like by all means like go through it and experience some of that 1217 01:40:25.319 --> 01:40:30.039 stuff, because like the weapon tree has like every weapon has like different it 1218 01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:33.439 has like different skills attached to it, so like you can really customize like 1219 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:38.840 how you want to play this character within all the styles that it has. 1220 01:40:39.439 --> 01:40:43.319 Right, So there's some cool stuff there if you want to take advantage of 1221 01:40:43.359 --> 01:40:48.520 it. It's just I didn't have the time to do that the but yeah, 1222 01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:56.600 like, you still need to do the Kito Files. I know I'm 1223 01:40:56.640 --> 01:41:00.880 gonna get I am going to keep reminding you that you have to do the 1224 01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:05.760 files because the Cattle files is probably my favorite thing, all right. So 1225 01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:13.600 when when when does Guidan come out? Guided? November? Uh? October? 1226 01:41:13.720 --> 01:41:18.439 November? I want to say November, but I'm looking it up real 1227 01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:25.319 quick. Yeah, November nine, November. I will beat Kito Files before 1228 01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:30.000 that drops. Yes, that that is my promise here, Yes, please 1229 01:41:30.119 --> 01:41:32.520 do so. I will put it up on my cue and I will get 1230 01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:35.840 it done before that game drops, because I also want to be on top 1231 01:41:35.920 --> 01:41:41.199 of Guidan when that trops, because I'm always running into these games like pretty 1232 01:41:41.279 --> 01:41:45.479 late, and I want to be better about like hopping onto the RGD games 1233 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:48.479 like as a tropeah. So that that that is kind of my goal, 1234 01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:53.039 And that's why I wanted to like fit in Ishan here while I can, 1235 01:41:53.720 --> 01:41:56.119 because I've been telling Chase like I'm gonna play through it, I promise, 1236 01:41:56.159 --> 01:41:58.079 I promise. So I was like, let me just do it now. 1237 01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:01.079 So we gonna we'll gonna do Kato and then we're gonna go in to guide 1238 01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:03.520 it and then we're gonna wait for infinite wealth, so I can get my 1239 01:42:03.600 --> 01:42:08.880 turn based system back and then just like you know, enjoy myself through those 1240 01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:14.119 games. I like the plan. It's a it's a good plan. I 1241 01:42:14.199 --> 01:42:16.399 make it sense. I like it. At some point, I'm going to 1242 01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:21.960 force Drew to play Zero. He needs to play Zero. He needs he's 1243 01:42:23.000 --> 01:42:26.880 looking for Drew's looking for a crime drama and I'm trying to give it to 1244 01:42:26.960 --> 01:42:30.920 him. Listen Zero, Like Zero's always on cell too. It's always on 1245 01:42:30.039 --> 01:42:34.399 cell for like five bucks and it runs great. He already owns it. 1246 01:42:35.279 --> 01:42:39.760 We just need him to put the disk in the system. Yeah, oh 1247 01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:42.600 that's the problem. But he has to put the disc in. I mean, 1248 01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:45.520 just get it digitally. It's already on Now. I'm gonna drive Hassey 1249 01:42:46.399 --> 01:42:49.399 and just put the disk in myself and then leave. We need, we 1250 01:42:49.520 --> 01:42:54.319 need, we need this to happen. We're gonna get to happen. I'm 1251 01:42:54.319 --> 01:42:57.159 gonna get him to stream his entire play through because I need to. I 1252 01:42:57.239 --> 01:42:59.439 need to sit there and watch it, like I'm so going through all the 1253 01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:02.800 actors. Is there anything but like for me, Yasa, Zero's like top 1254 01:43:03.000 --> 01:43:08.079 top five game all time for me. Bro that story, So it's it's 1255 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:15.560 it's a great story and this was the modima that was the best modyma. 1256 01:43:16.399 --> 01:43:24.159 Yeah, I was telling Drugless Like there's something really refreshing about RGG games and 1257 01:43:24.319 --> 01:43:29.960 that it's all adults, Like there's there's like no children involved, like every 1258 01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:32.479 once in a while, like you have some here or there, right like 1259 01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:40.680 you have Hattaka, you have like the the kid in Judgment, the youngest 1260 01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:44.359 part of the group at this point. Well and also in title files yeah 1261 01:43:45.359 --> 01:43:47.640 get in there too. Yeah, yeah, like you have a few of 1262 01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:51.479 these these younger characters here there, but primarily like you're dealing with adults, 1263 01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:55.840 like grown ass adults, not like early twenties adults, like we are in 1264 01:43:55.920 --> 01:43:59.680 our thirties, forties, fifties, sixties adults. Like these people have lived 1265 01:44:00.039 --> 01:44:02.159 multiple live That's what that's what. That's what Max said. He wanted these 1266 01:44:02.199 --> 01:44:05.800 games to be. He wanted games a feature a forty year old protagonist. 1267 01:44:06.159 --> 01:44:10.560 That's what yea with the Yaksa series, that's what you got. And then's 1268 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:14.800 something really refreshing about that. So like when a character is like scheming, 1269 01:44:15.479 --> 01:44:19.319 it's like you have been thinking about this for like thirty fucking years, Like 1270 01:44:20.079 --> 01:44:26.239 like when when characters do something. You're just like, it feels so much 1271 01:44:26.359 --> 01:44:29.920 realer than like an angsty teenager being like, yo, I want to take 1272 01:44:29.920 --> 01:44:31.199 over the fucking world. It's like, shut the fuck up, sit down, 1273 01:44:31.640 --> 01:44:34.479 sit down. You haven't thought about this? Yeah, well when like 1274 01:44:35.239 --> 01:44:39.479 but when like the sixty year old fucking Yakaza dude is like, I'm about 1275 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:42.159 to fucking take over Como road Show. I'm about to like throw down the 1276 01:44:42.319 --> 01:44:45.880 entire establishment. You're just like, Oh, you've been fucking sitting on this. 1277 01:44:45.199 --> 01:44:48.720 This has been like a twenty year fucking plan. See. See my 1278 01:44:48.920 --> 01:44:55.439 thought of it is just just like essentially playing through like like two and three 1279 01:44:55.520 --> 01:44:59.319 for Yakaza, Like I just got the sense of Cuyo is just over shit. 1280 01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:03.560 Yeah, he got too, Like he's just over everything. Yeah, 1281 01:45:03.800 --> 01:45:09.039 Like watching Q's growth throughout the entire series as well. You start him in 1282 01:45:09.159 --> 01:45:13.039 his like mid twenties with like zero or whatever, and like buy six, 1283 01:45:13.479 --> 01:45:16.880 he's like what in his fifties, I think soon to be sixties, now 1284 01:45:17.199 --> 01:45:21.479 soon to be sixties with with guiding coming up. Yeah, so it's like 1285 01:45:21.560 --> 01:45:25.720 you're going through the suit's entire fucking life. Yeah, he's gone through the 1286 01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:29.800 whole lifespan and even well, I mean and even Ichibon like when he gets 1287 01:45:29.840 --> 01:45:35.319 in season his forties. Yeah, exactly. It's so fucking cool. There's 1288 01:45:35.399 --> 01:45:41.279 there's a moment and it's relatable. It's very reliable. There's a moment in 1289 01:45:41.399 --> 01:45:44.920 eachan that like cracked me up. And it's not really a spoiler because I'm 1290 01:45:44.920 --> 01:45:49.119 not gonna talk about like who's involved, but like Reoma is like at a 1291 01:45:49.239 --> 01:45:55.960 low point and he's just like I need to get fucking shit faced, and 1292 01:45:56.039 --> 01:46:00.840 I'm like I've been there, I understand been there. So he's just like 1293 01:46:01.159 --> 01:46:05.319 drinking in his fucking room and like one of the attendants come through and it's 1294 01:46:05.359 --> 01:46:09.079 like, Realma, you need to you need to chill, and he's like, 1295 01:46:10.279 --> 01:46:12.720 no, get the fuck you know what, never mind, I'm leaving, 1296 01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:15.960 I'm hitting the town. And it is just like him one night, 1297 01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:19.720 just like going out fucking drinking, running into other characters and dragging them along, 1298 01:46:20.399 --> 01:46:25.840 and he's just like, you, we need to get shit faced right 1299 01:46:25.960 --> 01:46:32.600 now. Like what is affting? Relatable? Very relatable. It does the 1300 01:46:32.680 --> 01:46:35.960 ya because the thing where it's like this is a very funny moment, especially 1301 01:46:36.039 --> 01:46:41.760 for like a character like Realma or Kid you because like sand mannerisms, right, 1302 01:46:42.560 --> 01:46:45.199 so it's this very like stoic character that it like, it's just kind 1303 01:46:45.239 --> 01:46:48.880 of letting loose right now. It's funny, it's goofy, it's silly, 1304 01:46:49.880 --> 01:46:54.640 but it also ends in a very heartwarming way, and you're just like, 1305 01:46:54.760 --> 01:46:58.680 I don't know how you fuckers did this turning this goofy, assid what started 1306 01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:01.600 off is a very serious thing, somehow made it goofy and then wrapped it 1307 01:47:01.640 --> 01:47:05.159 back around to being a very serious but also very wholesome and like heartwarming thing. 1308 01:47:05.479 --> 01:47:12.560 Is like, so fucking good, dang stellar video game. Let's also 1309 01:47:12.600 --> 01:47:17.319 turn out of side. Definitely recommend another thing I want to start out real 1310 01:47:17.439 --> 01:47:21.920 quick is I Also I beat two games over the weekend. Uh. I 1311 01:47:23.039 --> 01:47:28.720 also finished Bomber Cyperfunk. So this is about. This was the essentially like 1312 01:47:28.840 --> 01:47:31.319 the spiritual successor as it were to like jet Set Radio and jet Set Radio 1313 01:47:31.359 --> 01:47:36.520 Future. It is an indie game. They had Naganuma do some of the 1314 01:47:36.600 --> 01:47:40.880 tracks for it, so as the original composer for jet Set as well as 1315 01:47:40.920 --> 01:47:44.199 like two Mellow did some tracks in there and some other some other artists in 1316 01:47:44.199 --> 01:47:47.600 there has an amazing soundtrack that soundtrack fucking goes hard in a way that like 1317 01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:57.960 I've been like Thirsty four and it's this game does a really good job. 1318 01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:01.279 We talked about like Armor Corps feeling like how it takes you back to a 1319 01:48:01.359 --> 01:48:04.000 time right of when like you're in middle school, and like this game is 1320 01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:08.960 playing the way that like you remember playing Armored Corps. And it's like this 1321 01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:12.399 game does the same thing but for jet Set Radio, and it's like this 1322 01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:17.119 this feels in plays like how I one, how I think about jet Set 1323 01:48:17.199 --> 01:48:20.600 Radio And I know darn well it doesn't cause Jett Radio is a very like 1324 01:48:20.720 --> 01:48:26.720 clunky and weird game, but they they perfected that formula in such a way 1325 01:48:26.760 --> 01:48:29.720 where it just feels really smooth, and it's like this is the jet Set 1326 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:32.159 game that I've always wanted. It like takes a step further and it's like 1327 01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:38.800 this is the game I've wanted that that series to like evolve into nice it 1328 01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:44.840 is. It is fantastic. It is weird in quirky at times, like 1329 01:48:45.239 --> 01:48:48.079 is a wildcast of characters. Like the first opening section of this game, 1330 01:48:48.199 --> 01:48:51.319 your main character's head gets chopped off and replaced with a robot head, and 1331 01:48:51.319 --> 01:48:57.079 you're just like what are we doing here? Oh it's like straight decapitation and 1332 01:48:57.159 --> 01:48:59.119 you're like, oh, all right, now, we're just on a quest 1333 01:48:59.159 --> 01:49:00.840 to get its head back. Okay, sure, why not. How do 1334 01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:04.680 we do that? Well, we need to take over the five boroughs uh 1335 01:49:04.920 --> 01:49:06.960 And you know I order to do that, we need to tag up all 1336 01:49:08.000 --> 01:49:12.680 their sections and challenge the groups in each borrow to like a crew battle. 1337 01:49:12.840 --> 01:49:19.640 And it's like, bro, let's do it. It's it's came across it. 1338 01:49:20.640 --> 01:49:27.119 I could probably think of several very similar price. I've heard this storyline 1339 01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:31.239 before somewhere, but man, like the dance moves in it are are really 1340 01:49:31.399 --> 01:49:38.079 fun. After doing every crew battle, it is such a hype moment of 1341 01:49:38.239 --> 01:49:43.079 like this this particular track starts playing and like all of the homies and your 1342 01:49:43.119 --> 01:49:45.520 crew are just like bouncing around the camera and like it looks like they're like 1343 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:48.479 talking shit to the other team and like getting hype and ship. It's just 1344 01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:55.920 like it's so good. I cannot acutely describe how how I am feeling every 1345 01:49:55.960 --> 01:50:00.840 time I get to that screen. It is incredible. I think that game 1346 01:50:01.479 --> 01:50:04.680 there's a few things I would like to have seen tweaks, like I think 1347 01:50:05.079 --> 01:50:08.960 they could have did a better job with like the fast travel in that game 1348 01:50:09.000 --> 01:50:13.600 and unlocking some of that stuff. There's a wanted level in the game as 1349 01:50:13.640 --> 01:50:17.960 well, where like if you're if you're tagging somebody spots, the police will 1350 01:50:18.000 --> 01:50:25.159 start coming after you, and it escalates periodically, so like first you'll start 1351 01:50:25.199 --> 01:50:28.239 with like some some cops coming after you, and they're they're kind of whatever, 1352 01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:30.520 they're just kind of chasing you downs like whatever, so you keep tagging 1353 01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:34.479 stuff, and then it just upgrades to like, hey, now there's these 1354 01:50:34.640 --> 01:50:38.840 rocket launcher turrets that are popping up everywhere, and you're just like, oh, 1355 01:50:39.039 --> 01:50:42.359 they's escalated in a way. Uh, and it just like keeps going 1356 01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:45.199 up to like now there's snipers in the area. Now there's this. Now 1357 01:50:45.279 --> 01:50:47.560 there's these hook shot things that will like try and grapple you to slow you 1358 01:50:47.680 --> 01:50:53.720 down and that stuff. It's cool and playing around that stuff is very cool. 1359 01:50:54.319 --> 01:50:58.279 But there's only a couple of places where like you can kind of reset 1360 01:50:58.319 --> 01:51:00.920 your wanted levels, so like they're these outhouses that you can go into to 1361 01:51:01.079 --> 01:51:06.560 like change your costume, which like changes your characters colors, and if you 1362 01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:10.560 go and do that, then it resets the wanton level. But I feel 1363 01:51:10.600 --> 01:51:14.119 like there's two few of those. So there are moments where like you got 1364 01:51:14.199 --> 01:51:15.600 like a wanton level of five or six, and like you're trying to like 1365 01:51:16.039 --> 01:51:20.039 do a very specific thing so you can progress, but you sort of forget 1366 01:51:20.239 --> 01:51:26.880 where those reset points are, and now it's just like, fuck, I'm 1367 01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:29.479 just gonna wander around for a couple of minutes try to avoid all of this 1368 01:51:29.600 --> 01:51:32.680 nonsense so I can find this thing. They could be either clear about where 1369 01:51:32.720 --> 01:51:35.720 those are or at least put more of those in there, right, And 1370 01:51:35.760 --> 01:51:43.039 that's that's kind of like a very minor complaint. There are I would have 1371 01:51:43.199 --> 01:51:50.399 liked to have seen them do more in terms of how the points work in 1372 01:51:50.479 --> 01:51:57.479 the points multiplier. This isn't necessarily like a points driven game in terms of 1373 01:51:57.680 --> 01:52:00.800 like, hey, we need you to get you know, a million points 1374 01:52:00.880 --> 01:52:08.319 to progress through the stage. But there, but if you're looking for like 1375 01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:12.399 a trying to do like local high scores and just trying to like do something 1376 01:52:12.479 --> 01:52:15.680 cool, a lot of your points comes from grinding and doing what's called a 1377 01:52:15.720 --> 01:52:19.479 boost grind, where if you're grinding on a rail and you hit like a 1378 01:52:19.560 --> 01:52:23.880 sharp corner, you can lean into the corner by tilting left or right, 1379 01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:28.680 and like you'll do a boost around the corner and it'll multi it'll add to 1380 01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:32.199 a multiplier for your score gauge right. So ultimately you're looking for like a 1381 01:52:32.239 --> 01:52:36.560 lot of hard corners to grind and like boost around them to get this multiplier 1382 01:52:36.720 --> 01:52:42.279 up. In the individual tricks that you can do hitting like a square, 1383 01:52:42.359 --> 01:52:45.359 triangle circle don't really add much to your score. They build up over time, 1384 01:52:45.760 --> 01:52:49.840 but like the individual tricks don't really add anything. You're really just looking 1385 01:52:49.880 --> 01:52:53.800 for hard corners to boost around to up that multiplier to get like at times 1386 01:52:53.840 --> 01:52:58.039 one hundred multiplier or whatever. I would like to see that adjusted in a 1387 01:52:58.079 --> 01:53:02.439 way to where like the individual moves adds more points. You know. It 1388 01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:09.399 feels a little dry in that aspect, but still very cool, And it's 1389 01:53:09.439 --> 01:53:15.359 not the focus of the game, because like Bomber Cyberfunk is more of like 1390 01:53:15.640 --> 01:53:17.840 a three D platformer more than it is like a Tony Hawk game. At 1391 01:53:17.880 --> 01:53:20.359 the end of the day, like the points are there, but it's not 1392 01:53:20.520 --> 01:53:24.800 like the focus. It's really like how do I get to this tag point 1393 01:53:24.880 --> 01:53:29.800 over here? How do I navigate this stage to get to from point A 1394 01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:33.359 to point B? Where's all the collectibles. It's more of that than it 1395 01:53:33.479 --> 01:53:36.399 is just a straight point game. But if you wanted to do local high 1396 01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:41.039 score stuff, I feel like they could have done it a bit better in 1397 01:53:41.159 --> 01:53:45.600 that regard, But that that's little stuff. It's it's a pretty short game. 1398 01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:49.119 I've completed it in under ten hours. I think it was like nine 1399 01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:55.079 nine hours or something like that. Great stuff. If you have any sort 1400 01:53:55.119 --> 01:54:01.079 of any sort of like attachment to jet Set Radio, I highly, highly 1401 01:54:01.159 --> 01:54:05.439 highly recommend it. If you don't have any attachment and you only heard of 1402 01:54:05.560 --> 01:54:11.039 jet Set Radio and the idea of that game sounds cool, I definitely recommend 1403 01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:15.159 checking it out because I think that is the best demonstration of like what we 1404 01:54:15.399 --> 01:54:23.039 all think of when we think about that game. So definitely, uh, 1405 01:54:23.279 --> 01:54:26.199 check that out. It's it's probably gonna go high on like my personal like 1406 01:54:26.680 --> 01:54:30.359 top ten list, I'm sure, because man, I was just like teleported 1407 01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:34.159 to a time, like the moment you go to like the start pay the 1408 01:54:34.279 --> 01:54:39.600 start menu. It is just like I am thrown back to like my fucking 1409 01:54:39.680 --> 01:54:42.479 Dreamcast and I'm just like playing jet Set for the first time. I'm like, 1410 01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:46.880 it nails it. The visuals, the audio, the the weird arcade 1411 01:54:48.600 --> 01:54:57.560 sounding voice clips that are in there too. It's wild how accurate they nailed 1412 01:54:57.640 --> 01:55:03.800 this very very specific style, all so cool stuff. Video games are cool, 1413 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:06.159 man, twenty twenty three is the hell of a year for video games, 1414 01:55:06.520 --> 01:55:11.720 and there's so much more so. Video games aren't cool. Video games 1415 01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:15.920 aren't cool. So with that out of the way, let's wrap up. 1416 01:55:16.039 --> 01:55:19.920 Let's get out of here. It is midnight, I got trails to play, 1417 01:55:21.079 --> 01:55:26.199 so let's let's I'm almost done with this emblem. He is, that's 1418 01:55:26.239 --> 01:55:31.920 what he says, right right, done with the emblem, right, So 1419 01:55:32.039 --> 01:55:34.960 okay, let let's listen. He's almost done with the emblem. But now 1420 01:55:35.039 --> 01:55:40.039 he has to color his neck so and there's a lot of parts and there's 1421 01:55:40.079 --> 01:55:45.520 a lot of different uh, but you know, you know, you know 1422 01:55:45.560 --> 01:55:47.640 what's gonna happen. He's gonna start coloring the mech and the emblem's not gonna 1423 01:55:47.680 --> 01:55:50.399 pop as much. He's gonna go back and work on the emblem. Oh 1424 01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:55.359 my god, you are correct. See this is this is the artist speaking 1425 01:55:55.399 --> 01:55:59.960 here. It's it's so crazy the options that that game gives you, even 1426 01:56:00.039 --> 01:56:04.720 and like the shading options on the fucking next It is like I'm looking at 1427 01:56:04.840 --> 01:56:09.720 fucking three D modeling program and it's like, what kind of shader do you 1428 01:56:09.760 --> 01:56:12.520 want to put on top of it? And I'm just like how many shaders 1429 01:56:12.560 --> 01:56:14.800 are there? And it just like keeps fucking going and You're just like, 1430 01:56:14.920 --> 01:56:16.600 oh, I can get really in depth with it. What are what are 1431 01:56:16.720 --> 01:56:23.479 my options? Go play our Record six chall it. That game's great anyway, 1432 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:28.079 Ryan, Yeah, where can people find you?
