Hello, 4 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.960 and welcome to episode sixty nine. Nice, nice, nice of 5 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.880 Game Spot after Dark, your weekly video game podcast, Official 6 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.079 game Pod. Gay, I can't talk. I don't know what 7 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.159 I'm saying. I reversed the order in there somewhere, but anyway, 8 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.560 it's episode sixty nine. We're going to talk about video 9 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.759 games and only video games most likely. 10 00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.000 You know us may not know. 11 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.000 But before we do any of that, Sean Luke, do 12 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.439 you want to talk a little bit about Extra Life, 13 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.040 because I've been talking about it for the past couple 14 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.719 of weeks, but you are the show runner here and 15 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:13.400 it's working a little differently this year, and it's already started, so. 16 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.599 Yes, yes, yeah, Extra Life has already started. It was 17 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.719 kicked off last Saturday by Michael Hyam, who did a 18 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.719 twelve hour stream i'd say by himself, but actually I 19 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.920 think Ben was in there for most of it with him, 20 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.439 So shout out to Ben as well for being his 21 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.480 cohort in that. And yeah, then that was followed up 22 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.920 on Monday with Jake and Timore doing Demon Souls, and 23 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.599 the idea is that we're just going to kind of 24 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.959 do a couple of streams throughout the year with different 25 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.680 members of the staff who want to participate. We're trying 26 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.920 to get five thousand dollars is our goal this year. 27 00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:00.760 We're shortening it because it's been a rough year. You know, 28 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.719 we we don't want to ask for too much of people, 29 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.319 but you still think Extra Life is a good cause. 30 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.479 It's worth giving to. Especially this year. Kids need some 31 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.199 some some love and support. Hopefully these kids can get 32 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.719 themselves a hot News five series X with this money. 33 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.159 The Gamers ruined Christmas already. 34 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:25.479 Viral tweet. 35 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.000 The Gamers have The Gamers have destroyed yet another thing. 36 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.000 You know what somebody said on Twitter that I thought 37 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.039 was a great idea is if you're giving away, if 38 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.199 you don't need like your PS four or your one X, 39 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.120 donate it to to like a local children's hospital or 40 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.000 something like that and give it to some kids that 41 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.400 need it, because I think they try and have systems 42 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.560 like that, but they're usually pretty outdated. So rather than 43 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.319 like you know, try and sell it or just throw 44 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.919 it away, like give it to some kids, give it 45 00:02:57.919 --> 00:02:58.879 to some kids that need it. 46 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.439 There's way more kid appropriate games on existing consoles then 47 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.639 on the PS five and Series X, because I feel 48 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.439 like none of those kids are going to be playing 49 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.479 Demon Souls. I don't think. I don't know. I got 50 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.479 I got into M rated games really early, so yeah, 51 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.039 maybe not. 52 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.840 But also check if you're going to donate to a 53 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.960 hospital that they accept it, and that, like, especially given COVID, 54 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.520 you know that there's a suitable way of doing that. 55 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.520 Well. Anyway, before we get into the topics of this week, 56 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.879 we're going to talk about what we've been playing. Jean Luke, 57 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.520 do you want to start with that? All right? 58 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.759 Yeah, So I've been playing for the past three weeks. 59 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.639 I've been playing Destiny to Beyond Light, the newest expansion. 60 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.479 It dropped a smack dab in the middle of console 61 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.000 launches same day as Series X, and I decided I'm 62 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.919 going to spend my time not playing Demon Souls, not 63 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.960 playing well, actually I have been playing Demon Souls, but 64 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.960 I've been spending most of my time playing Destiny and 65 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.240 it's really good. I like it a whole lot. It's 66 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.759 it's not gonna blow anyone's socks off in terms of 67 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.919 you know, like if if you're somebody who's like kind 68 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.520 of fallen off Destiny or you know, hasn't interested you before, 69 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.879 like nothing about it's gonna change all that much. But 70 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.079 I think it's a really really good expansion, especially as 71 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.560 someone who who has stuck with it it. There's some 72 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.120 really good payoffs, Like if you're if you're like me 73 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.160 and you're like into the lore, if you're a lore nerd, 74 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.519 there's some really good stuff. They pay off a lot 75 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.279 of plot threads they've been building up for years. I 76 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.040 don't want to spoil it, I guess for like people 77 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.560 who I feel like either you you don't care or 78 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:40.439 you already know all this. 79 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.160 There is no middle ground with There is. 80 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:51.120 No middle ground. But they they pay off a character 81 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.199 from Destiny one who showed up in the Vanilla campaign 82 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.800 and then they like dropped completely and they brought them back, 83 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.240 and yeah, like I feel like they've just gotten really 84 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.839 a lot better at the storytelling, Like like the story 85 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.199 some of Destiny's best story is always like in those 86 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.439 like lore books, you have to read. So it's like, 87 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.160 hope you like reading if you want to like get 88 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.920 to the good stuff. And now now it's like they're 89 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.120 finally figuring out that you can actually deliver that stuff 90 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.560 in like cut scenes and dialogue, and I think they've 91 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.199 they're finally striking a good balance where it feels like 92 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.920 you can just play the game and actually get more 93 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.439 more of the narrative without without having to read all 94 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.120 the time, although there's still plenty of reading. 95 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.399 How's the raid, because I know you've just finished that 96 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:39.160 right last night? 97 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.079 Yes, I mean it last night. It's fantastic. This is 98 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.720 actually my first time ever doing a raid like right 99 00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.319 when it launched and doing it blind. I've always like 100 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.040 gone in with people who like like like years after 101 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.120 it's happened or months after, and they like explain it 102 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.879 to me. And so this is the first time I've 103 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.959 ever actually like gotten to have that like fresh rate experience. 104 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.879 It's freaking awesome. Like there there is nothing more satisfying 105 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.959 than like as a group like collectively like okay, like 106 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.199 figuring out the little pieces like you're like, all right, 107 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.120 this guy drops this thing and we need to you know, 108 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.040 oh what happens if we put it over here, like oh, 109 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.800 it activated this and then like you're kind of like 110 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.120 puzzling it together and figuring it out. We did hit 111 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.399 a roadblock, so the first the first night was we 112 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.879 went for twelve hours and we got stuck on the 113 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.639 second encounter, which is apparently the big encounter that everyone 114 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.879 got stuck on. We figured out how to do it. 115 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:43.519 It was just like the execution of it was really tough. 116 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.879 I think we gave up at midnight when we literally 117 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.000 got him down to one hit left. And then just 118 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.199 like the boss basically like makes copies of themselves and 119 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.759 you need to find like the right copy and if 120 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.160 you shoot the wrong one, you instantly lose, and we wouldn't. 121 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.720 And at the end, the boss like cycles through rapidly, 122 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.040 so you're like, shoot that one, No, shoot that one, 123 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.920 And then we couldn't find the last one because he 124 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.560 was hiding behind like a pillar and we're like, oh, 125 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:09.199 which one is it? 126 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:10.480 Uh uh, I think it's. 127 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.160 That one, And then like we lost and we had 128 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.399 one sliver. Heartbreaking, but that was so when when you 129 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.319 do it day one, they have a thing called contest 130 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.079 Mode and where it like limits it gets everyone's power 131 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.480 level so that everyone has like an equal shot to 132 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:31.720 try and get world's first. So we did it yesterday, 133 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.480 two days after and contest mode is off and we 134 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.800 completely smoked that boss our first try, like no problem, 135 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.800 which was super satisfying to do. 136 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.480 And then and then get one of those jackets. 137 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.279 Oh yeah, So the jacket, it's it's a midlely a 138 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.040 cool jacket. You can get your gamer tag name on it. 139 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.240 I won't do that if I get it, I'm definitely 140 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.720 not doing that, although I think you can just put 141 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.360 in whatever you want, so maybe, like I don't know, 142 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.759 I could put my last name sixty nine. 143 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:02.759 Yeah, I just. 144 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.839 Put sixty nine on it. But it is like one 145 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.000 hundred and seventy bucks, and I'm like, oh, I have 146 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.439 to I have till the end of the year to 147 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.279 think about if I actually want to get it. Though 148 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:13.920 they have some. 149 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.720 Cool merch though I really want. They had this like 150 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:21.120 spicy Ramen shirt. I really really want it. Oh, it 151 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:22.120 was so cute. 152 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.199 I think it is legitimately the coolest thing. Where like 153 00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.720 they do where if you by like beating challenges in 154 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.799 the game, you get the opportunity to buy exclusive merch 155 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.200 for that. So like every time you beat a seal 156 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.440 for like each season, you can buy a little pin 157 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.600 that like has the seal on it. But you can 158 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.159 only do it if you, like, you know, unbeat that 159 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.039 seal within a certain amount of time. And I think 160 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.600 that's so cool like that that's a I don't know 161 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.440 if other games do that, but that's a really neat 162 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.240 way to like kind of like encourage your commuting and 163 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.200 give them like something very tangible to shoot for if 164 00:08:59.200 --> 00:08:59.960 that's what they're interested in. 165 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.000 You can tell how uh not attached to Destiny Am 166 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.440 because when you said be a seal, I said cute 167 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.559 because I thought it was an animal a seal, and 168 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.320 then and then you kept talking. I was like, oh no, 169 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:14.240 I was very wrong. 170 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.039 Oh well, anyway with that, Cali, do you want to 171 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.600 revisit your animal crossing minute? Your animal crossing corner? I 172 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.960 forgot what we decided to call it. 173 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:28.240 Yeah, whatever it's called, I'll talk about it. I took 174 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.480 my first Animal Crossing break because of the console launch, 175 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.720 so I hadn't played in over a week, and I 176 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.320 was scared because in the I was scared. 177 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.600 I haven't been on since like April. 178 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.320 Well, I was really scared because in the past the 179 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.519 villagers are like like really mean to you and like 180 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.120 guilt you and stuff. Like in the older games, they 181 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.440 like used to be like, if you did something to 182 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.120 make them not like you, they'd be like, why are 183 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.080 you so ugly? Oh so I know they wouldn't do 184 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:01.039 that anymore, but I was still kind of nervous about 185 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.440 being guilted. But like all the villagers were just like, Oh, 186 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.080 it's so good to see you. I bet you got 187 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.480 caught up in a good book. Oh god, I wish 188 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.600 it was really busy. But I cleaned up my my 189 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.919 weeds and then it was back on track, and I'm 190 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.080 excited for Turkey Day because I need something to do 191 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.120 with Hi Greg, with all of my pumpkins, And of 192 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.080 course I tweeted about it incessantly, But the most important 193 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.240 thing was the added storage because I had so much garbage, 194 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.840 well not garbage, like stuff that I needed that couldn't 195 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.840 fit in my house, and I would just put I 196 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.759 just had a bunch of stuff on the ground. I 197 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.399 had like a grave yard of items, just like a 198 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:47.799 bunch of pumpkins littering my front yard of my house. 199 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:49.960 And it was just a disaster. And I was like, 200 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:51.879 how I'm going to decorate around this, I don't know. 201 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.279 And then they were like it was like the light 202 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.240 had broken through the clouds and shined upon me and 203 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.600 the angels saying, and then I could put everything away 204 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.639 and it was amazing. And I'm just having a great 205 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.759 time with my clean, open spaces and trying to figure 206 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.200 out how to fill them with actual decor again. And 207 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.120 what else is? 208 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.000 So what's new with Turkey Day and all the new 209 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.720 update beyond storage that. 210 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.720 Is, Oh, yeah, there's way more to it than in 211 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.799 the storage. They added a bunch of hairstyles specifically like 212 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.399 for like black players, which I think is really awesome. 213 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.639 That's something that like people were asking about on Twitter, 214 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.759 especially for a really long time, and it's interesting because 215 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.440 you're seeing more of that. But I wasn't expecting that 216 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.120 feedback to reach a Japanese company. Not that like a 217 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.120 Japanese company is not capable of that, but I just 218 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.000 think there's an extra language barrier to getting that feedback 219 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.799 versus something like the SIMS where they've been incorporating more 220 00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.960 customization options for a wider range of skin tones. Yeah, 221 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:01.799 and it's an intend. 222 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.279 So doesn't listen to people if they don't want to. 223 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.600 Yeah, And like animal crossing has made some strides in 224 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.159 the past, Like you didn't get to pick your skin 225 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.559 color before you just had to go outside and tan. 226 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:20.480 So that was a really pleasant surprise. And so there 227 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.559 were small things like that. They added some reactions. You 228 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.679 can sit on the ground now, very big people are 229 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.919 loving the sitting. I've seen a lot of very cute pictures. Yeah, 230 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.039 lots of pictures of Uh. Did Andrew send you the 231 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.519 picture of him sitting with all his dogs? 232 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:33.000 Yes? 233 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.480 Okay, yeah, he sent me just he was upset because 234 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.440 his character sits wider than the dogs and he's like, 235 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:45.759 why am I man spreading photo? So there's stuff like that, 236 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.320 But the actual like big events are Turkey Day and 237 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.519 Toy Day were added in this update. So Turkey Day 238 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.360 is the Thanksgiving one obviously by the name, I'm not 239 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.120 sure exactly how it works because I don't time travel. 240 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.600 I just visit other people's islands for their time travel, 241 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.559 So it's not like I'm above time travel. I just 242 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.840 would lose track and not know what day it was anymore. 243 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.000 It's involves cooking and there's a bunch of diys you 244 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.759 can get. So there's some items like a gorgeous like 245 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.399 Thanksgiving table and a Thanksgiving fireplace, and like a bunch 246 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.919 of food items and stuff that you can diy and 247 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.159 then Toy Day is where Jingle the Reindeer comes to 248 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.960 your town and it's you deliver toys and stuff, and 249 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.799 there's a ton of like toy themed items, like a 250 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.200 dog plushy that like runs. I have a friend who 251 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:41.039 made a like a dog sled like dogs pulling a 252 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.240 sleigh kind of with the plushies because they're like running 253 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.000 in place. It's really cute. There's like a t Rex. 254 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.720 There's an RC helicopter that when you interact with it, 255 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.200 it actually flies up into the air. So there's like 256 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.320 a lot of like cold toy items that you can get, 257 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.799 and then a bunch of new di Wis as well, 258 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.840 so you know, it's just like more of the same 259 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.960 kind of new seasonal event gives you new di Wise, 260 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.480 new items, and a new activity to do that would 261 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.799 have been in the game, but Nintendo just wanted you 262 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.399 to experience his experience it in real time, so that's 263 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.000 why they wait to put it in the game. And 264 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.799 they also confirmed a January update. I'm hoping that one's Brewster. 265 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:21.039 I'm hoping we get Brewster. 266 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.440 We've been waiting for Brewster for a really long time 267 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.320 and I'm hoping they add more design slots. That's my 268 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.679 next wish. I never thought they would add more storage, 269 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.559 so maybe I'll add more design slots and uh, and 270 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.080 I'm just you know, I'm back at it. I've been decorating. 271 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.559 I've been farming for di Wise, which means I stand 272 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.559 on my beach for four hours a night while watching 273 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.240 trash TV and I wait for the balloons to come, 274 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.519 and then I get the di Wise and then whatever 275 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.840 ones I already had I sent to Andrew in the 276 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.679 mill because he didn't have any, and I felt bad. 277 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.279 I also try to sound really boring. Island transfer thing 278 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.919 that they added with this update, and it is a 279 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.720 pain in the ass. That works because so I played 280 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.000 on a regular switch because I was capturing a lot 281 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.240 for videos, and I can't do that on my switchlight. 282 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.720 So I just figured, oh, when I can, I'll just 283 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.720 transfer it over. 284 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.039 Now. 285 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.440 Obviously you couldn't do that originally with Animal Crossing, and 286 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.080 they said they were going to add a feature later 287 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.600 which adds cloud saves and the ability to transfer islands. 288 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:29.279 In order to do that, you have to download a 289 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.639 separate island transfer app on both consoles that you want 290 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.840 to transfer it to. And then you have to go 291 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:39.240 through all of these settings, and it like has issues 292 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.480 if two or if more than one user has a 293 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.399 house on the island that you're trying to transfer to 294 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.159 a different switch that doesn't have those same users, it's 295 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.120 a pain. I don't get why I just can't upload 296 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.519 my safe to the cloud and download it or just 297 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.120 do like a simple save transfer like I would for 298 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:00.039 any other game. I'm sure there's a reason why, but 299 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.279 because you'd be able to. 300 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.320 Duplicate items like crazy. 301 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.759 Sure, but like Pokemon got around it right, like I 302 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.679 was able to transfer my save and like that. They 303 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.000 arguably they're probably more worried about people duplicating items in 304 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.399 Pokemon or duplicating Pokemon than duplicating items and animal crossing. 305 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.480 Yeah, it's like not actually a big deal. I don't 306 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.279 know why they're so strict about it, But you did 307 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.639 successfully get it to work. 308 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.080 I did get it to work, and then I went 309 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.919 to my island and fix some weeds and didn't talk 310 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.759 to any villagers because I was afraid they'd be mad 311 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.879 at me. They won't because it was their first time 312 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.279 I turned it on since July. 313 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.120 They're very nice. It's so much better than in the 314 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.000 past where they'd be like, where have you been? And 315 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.200 for anyone if this is your first Animal Crossing game. 316 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.200 Back in my day, villagers used to just move out. 317 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.519 They would just move out without telling you, and if 318 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:52.480 you skipped a day you'd come back in your favorite 319 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:57.559 villager would have been gone. And they don't do that anymore. So, 320 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.000 so check your privilege is what I have to say 321 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:01.399 say about that. 322 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.080 I actually kind of missed in the villagers were a 323 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.759 little bit meaner. I liked having some villagers that were 324 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.480 just straight up dicks to you. Yeah. 325 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.720 Have you seen the screenshots of like the GameCube Animal 326 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.519 Crossing where they're like, get your ugly giant head out 327 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:19.440 of my town? Like get Yeah, yeah, it's good. 328 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.160 Anyway, Lucy, you've you've been playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Are 329 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.039 you almost done with that game? I heard it's very long. 330 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.160 No, I had to start over again. 331 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:31.880 Oh no, yeah, I got I got that. 332 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:36.720 Annoyed of it. So the tld O is I was 333 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:44.319 playing Assassin's Cree Valhalla originally on Series X and because 334 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.599 I did a lot of capture for our graphics comparisons 335 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.400 working together with Jake and Mix on those, I used 336 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.240 my save because it has cross platform saves thanks to 337 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:01.319 us off Connect use that on PS five and I 338 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.000 was capturing some stuff and I was capturing specifically for 339 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:07.720 a tips video, and there was a bit that Jordan 340 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.839 had written where he said, if you liked the ten 341 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.680 beacons on Hadrian's Wall, not only just a great Lord 342 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.400 of the Rings reference, you get a trophy. I did 343 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.039 that and it didn't pop, and so I did it 344 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.759 again because I thought, oh, maybe the beacons went out, 345 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.880 didn't pop, And I did a story thing didn't pop, 346 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.839 and I was like, tried it on Xbox, same stuff 347 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:40.720 didn't pop, and so everything, and I was like, Okay, well, 348 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.960 I know I don't need achievements and trophies to have 349 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.519 fun with the game, but I like to use achievements 350 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.720 and trophies as a way of looking back on things 351 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.400 that I've done. And also, if I'm going to be 352 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.880 spending one hundred and twenty hours or something in an RPG, 353 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.119 I want to be able to look back. So what 354 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.519 I did I did some testing, I leaded my local 355 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:06.200 save from my PS five, I disconnected my account from 356 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:11.680 Ubisoft Connect. A new level of bullshit is you can't 357 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.559 play Assassin's Creed Valhalla while connected to the Internet without 358 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.079 connecting to Ubisoft Connect, so I have to play the 359 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:26.400 game completely offline. But shit's popping again. So we've got 360 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.759 a work around. But I mainline the story and I'm 361 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.119 actually back to where I was already because most of 362 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.039 most of my playtime are on the original one. But 363 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:43.279 the yeah, the most of the stuff I was doing 364 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.079 with a capture so I could. I got back. 365 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:45.839 It was fine. 366 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.599 But honestly, like, I'm still really enjoying that game. And 367 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.559 in terms of like differences between the two platforms, like 368 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.680 the one thing I'll say is, first of all, just 369 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.880 the screen tearing is the biggest issue that I've found. 370 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.440 Like the screen tearing on Xbox is bad, Like. 371 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.279 On serious x It's real bad. I didn't notice much. 372 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.000 I noticed a little bit, but I didn't see a 373 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.480 lot of it. 374 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.960 Do you have a VRR TV, Jake, I have. 375 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:15.359 I'm playing on a monitor one hundred and forty four. 376 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.839 It hurts refresh rates, so maybe that's it. 377 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.759 Yeah, my TV doesn't have VRR and I like went 378 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.880 through all the settings and all that stuff, and so 379 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.400 it's really bad on my TV, whereas on PS five 380 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.680 it's not an issue. Thoughts on the game, though, like 381 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.880 beyond what I've already said is that I'm really really 382 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.279 enjoying it. It's a very like I like the main 383 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.119 story because it's nice to see a period of time 384 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.960 depicted that I've actually really learned about, and also it 385 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.640 being set in the UK it's nice. But also just 386 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.839 the side stuff is really fun, like just going around 387 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.319 and collecting everything and mopping up areas. And I'm not 388 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.720 stealthy this one because the game doesn't really encourage you 389 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:59.160 to be a stealthy assassin, which is fine. I have 390 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.599 started to do like backseat game development where I'm like, ah, 391 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.960 but what if they changed all the the modern day pieces, 392 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:09.799 like because right now you still have that late you 393 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:14.160 still have Leila, you still have Rebecca and Sean, and 394 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:15.799 like you have those bits where it pulls you out 395 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.319 of the game, and it's like, I wish they would 396 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.200 go back to what they tried to do with Black Flag, 397 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.000 where you were an Absturbo employee and like you were 398 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.000 reading through files and stuff because it was all it 399 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:31.000 was all about you, which I really liked, like it 400 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:33.559 was in first person. I think that would be way 401 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.519
