You just go live.
But what's the problem?
Everybody acts like streaming is some kind of a hard thing
to do
and what you could say that but your people say although i've mentioned
about it
right at the book
for me like at least two minutes
artists who would ever dance on the deal

So you gotta be nice to him. You gotta

Absolutely not. Yeah, I know

So yeah, is an AoE dot? Yeah, I know what they do. It's bad. So yeah, is it an AOE dot?
Yeah, exactly.
Well, Minmax is killing bugs.
Well, I didn't kill him.
I just threw a bitch ass outside, man.
So yeah.
Oh shit, when he irritated? Yeah, the bug's out. outside man so yeah I shit when irritated yeah the bugs have a family that want
revenge
yeah exactly you know wasps actually do
that wanna have a pet spider they eat
bugs I do but it's not a pet he just
lives here but yeah I got one of those like big
brown spiders that lives downstairs and uh he lives in my sink and sometimes he'll come up
and just kind of you know like have a meal and eat some wasps.
Hopefully that's what happens, you know?
What's today's plan?
Just fuck around.
That's what it's going to be?
Yeah, just fuck around a little bit.
Do you see Lost Ark Tier 4?
No, I didn't see it. I'm not gonna look at that shit today but I eventually will.
We'll see what happens.
You didn't find the giant spider again?
Nah nah, I haven't been looking for him though, I'll be honest.
Right? Why would I be looking for him? i'll be honest right why would i be looking for him the storm miss you
yeah yeah for now for now uh i talked to my dad about that
uh there's like a hurricane uh it's like tangential right like on
that we're on the edge of it.
And we could maybe get a little bit of rain, right?
Like a little bit of rain would be nice.
We'll see how much.
But yeah, that's pretty much what the plan is so far.
Didn't realize you had roommates?
Yeah, good one, buddy. Yeah, have you seen
the sketch drama? Oh yeah!
I saw this. So Sketch
people might not know who that is
he's like a younger content
creator like W Community
funny guy. I like him.
He's funny. Actually
entertaining guy. People found
out that the dude might have
done gay OnlyFans or
gay porn or something like that, or he's gay
People are talking about it
Personally, I'm going to give my opinion about it
I don't give a fuck. Why would I care?
Fuck, the guy that plays
Gandalf is gay in Lord of the Rings.
Like...
And that's like THE GUY, right?
That's the fucking-
Gandalf is the fucking man!
So this whole idea that it fucking matters
I'm sorry
I could not give less of a fuck man
yeah I think it's
people gonna go
the thing is that
people gonna goof around on them with stuff which is just what's going to goof around on them with stuff like this, which is
just what's going to happen.
If you're actually getting upset about this
chill them.
Who cares man?
That's the way I see it right? Who cares, man? That's the way I see it.
Who cares?
If I had a friend that did this
Oh, I'd be making jokes at him all the time
I'd be like, oh yeah
But if I had a friend
who did like straight OnlyFans
I'd do the same thing.
Like it's not like
it's special
it's just like guys
find different ways
to talk shit about each other
right?
But um
if like
you're taking it beyond that, right? Beyond
the banter. Beyond like ha-ha funny, right?
And like you're genuinely mad or actually
disappointed then bro dial it back
who cares what are you going to do
in his life is up to him." So that's the last thing,
nobody actually cares if people are gay? Yeah! Yeah! I mean that's not what
people on Twitter think though, I'll tell you that. Yeah yeah, that's what it is. A little weird
to hear about randomly but who cares? Yeah.
Nah, people went and said... This is funny to me, right? People went and said
they said, why is it that people
are more mad about Sketch being gay
than Doc being a predator?
And I'll tell you the reason why,
it's because they're kids.
They're fucking kids man!
And so like,
they don't understand what the problem is
with like a 40 yearyear-old man talking
to an underage girl. They don't really get that,
but they get being
gay because they called each
other gay in middle school or high school.
From their perspective, bro, that's
way worse. It's like they would want to talk to Doc.
They don't get it, right? They're kids.
So yeah, it makes sense whenever you think
about it, man. Yeah, but
that's just the way kids are, man.
They're stupid as hell? Yeah, but that's just the way kids are man. They're stupid as hell But yeah, that's the way I see it
New Last Epoch season tomorrow
Well yeah, Once Human
is tomorrow. I'm going to play that
Like, I liked Last Epoch. It was a fun game, but I want to play it.
I already played that game, right? I played that.
Like, Once Human's going to be a new game and so I want to try that out and look at it for myself, man.
There's a funny post on Once Human Steam Discussions if you want to look at it. myself man there's funny posts on once human steam discussions if you want to look at it
uh what is it i'm actually i don't know why but i'm actually kind of curious
uh is that well actually you know what most importantly is
it about me because if it's not about me, it doesn't matter.
Like let's be honest right?
Yeah, if it's not about me I mean what's the fucking point
It's probably gonna be boring
If it's not, oh who cares then
Who gives a shit man It's not even going to be
interesting. Yeah, that's whatever
but anyway yeah I just
uh...I just did see
a little bit of that but that's my opinion
on it right? Like I've always been pretty outspoken about
how uh...I really don't like
I'm not a anti-gay guy
I'm actually very much an advocate
of a lot of that stuff
Um..like I've always been right
even as a kid and so
you know, yeah sorry it's just
not really something that I'm gonna like
dog whistle negativity about
but I'm totally okay with it, that's
really all there is to it, I don't care.
So yeah, there it is.
Brainstorm developing around 25
but I haven't seen many plus 40 year old dumbasses?
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Did you continue to play ZZZ yet? I don't know if
I wanted to or not. If I wanted
to, well then you should play it and decide for yourself, right?
You can't listen to me and have me tell you what you want to play.
But for me, I
have not played it. Last night,
I played a lot of First Descendant.
I beat the campaign.
I did hard mode.
I got a level 100 weapon, it has
three legendary perks,
I am farming!
Uh-I-I got it with like bro-I got it
with like attribute uh fucking
like it does cold damage and it-it like procs
cold damage freeze more often
And they're both fucking yellow man
It's so craa-It's such a good gun
It's I wanna shi-Yeah
Yeah, yeah. I might get on in a bit right but I've been
playing that a lot
you need to prestige
it for more slots on the weapon
you know what I bet you're right, I do gotta
do that. I'll probably work on that
later on but we'll see what happens
But let them wrap
Yeah yeah, I mean like
it's not like it's the worst game that has ever been made right?
There have been games that are worse than this
But i just don't think its amazing right? That is all I'm really trying to say
What's this
Fit vs Fatman debate
The question is why do you hate fat people that you feel to discuss towards it well like i said
before it's a culmination of a bunch of bad decisions and you're less valuable when you're
fatter because you drain resources but that's a whole
other conversation. But yeah I mean in general being fat is unacceptable because you control
every single morsel of food that goes into your mouth okay uh...
I don't think it's unacceptable like i, I think you want to be fat,
you'd be fat.
You want to be fat?
Go be fat.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Jeff's fat now he said yeah yeah but i mean oh yeah that's just the way it is
it shows a lack of discipline and shows like a character shows a lack of temperance
and uh when you're fat it just it's an outward manifestation of your inadequacies
unfortunately some people have emotional stuff that happened traumatic stuff has
happened so you can't discount to say oh because they're fat.
There's way...
I remember one time bro it's so funny to hear him say this
I remember one time there was this girl that joined
our fucking vent channel
and this was in like a burning crusade
and she said
that she had gained a bunch of weight
that she was in the guild
and it was because her dog
died or something like that
and I remember
my guild leader said
he said your dog dying is
no excuse to get fat
and he kicked her out of the guild
laughing of the guild. I remember, bro,
it was on like
The Last Boss too
or something
some shit
like that.
This is like
2007. I remember I was still in high school this shit happened like that this is like 2000 it's not
wrong still in high school this shit
happened oh man bro what the fuck yeah
well my guild was known for being full of dickheads man.
Yeah I forgot all about that
Worst stuff going out in the world is people saying oh my god I'm sad I'm gonna eat some ice cream
It's like no dude it's like you're fat
You made that decision
You live in the best country ever
If you live in a civilized first world country
Where there is electricity
Internet power etc
You deserve to be bullied
It's ridiculous to me
That we have all these fat people running around
Meanwhile people are being bombed in Gaza It's ridiculous to me that we have all these fat people running around,
meanwhile people are being bombed in Gaza.
That's not true.
They're not running around.
It's ridiculous.
We are so privileged here in the United States and in the Western Journal, when I see a fat person I'm like wow!
I don't think nobody deserves to be bullied. I disagree with that part, but everything else
I agree with.
I completely agree with what he's saying.
Absolutely. Yep, 100%.
This is a disgrace
to actual fit people?
No.
It's just like I think that you can acknowledge somebody's making a bad decision.
So for example doing fentanyl or doing cocaine, doing crackhead, it's a bad decision to crack, right? Being crackhead. Like it's a bad decision
to do that, right? It just is like there's
no sugarcoating it, right?
It's a bad decision to do crack.
It's a bad decision to do heroin.
Now, do people do heroin and crack because of pressure? Right. Life pressure, traumatic pressure? Absolutely they do a hundred percent. They do. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's okay to do it. It doesn't mean it's like a good thing,
you know what I mean? So,
but he's being mean about it? No, no.
The thing is,
the only part about being mean about it
was that... What did he call it? About bullying him. You don't need to bully people that are fat but I think
that you can acknowledge that it's unhealthy and it's not good. Like you can do both of these things.
It's not like
you have to say everybody is
beautiful even at 700 pounds
and also say that
being fit is better
like, you can be yourself
fuck! You can be yourself
but don't expect everybody else to go up
and stand up and clap
you know? Like, fuck. I really don't know how this is
complicated for fucking anybody.
So yeah,
he's being condescending. I think the reason
why somebody like this is being condescending
is that I think that it's incredibly annoying
for people to hear from
some fat person that they
had trauma in their life so they can't
stop eating food. Like,
what do you mean? Other other people have this, they get
over it, you can't get over it
It's not somebody else's fault. I think it's very
fucking annoying that
in society now everybody is looking
for a reason why it's somebody else's fault
or like they're trying to displace
blame to something that
is not themselves. It's fucking
exhausting. It's incredibly
fucking exhausting and I see it everywhere
It's like people are like, oh yeah
I can't go out. I can't
order Uber Eats. I need Uber
Eats. Yeah right
You can spend all day on Twitter but
you can't do Uber Eats because you've diagnosed
yourself with a mental disorder. Have you seen
these people with long COVID
that are like shaving their heads
and shit like this?, at a certain point
it becomes neurotic.
It becomes absolutely fucking
neurotic. So yes
try not having a car
yeah exactly take responsibility people don't want to take responsibility for their own behavior Uh, try not having a car. Yeah, exactly. Take responsibility.
Yeah. People don't want to take responsibility for their own behavior and they do that.
Yeah. Long COVID. Yeah. No, I've seen some people it's like some weird fucking,
I think it's a mental disorder at this point. Right?
Long COVID.
Food can be an addiction though, it's proven.
That doesn't matter.
Like of course things can be an addiction
but if you don't overcome the addiction,
you die.
So just figure it out.
It's really not that complicated is it? It's literally that simple! There's not a lot of fine print to this. There's
not a lot of fucking complexity, there's not a...
Everybody always wants to get down in the
weeds because they can't stand on
their own two feet.
They want to go and fucking try
to find these little nuances and complexities about
why they can't do what they want to do with their life.
No, bro, get the fuck out of here.
Stop being fucking lazy. Your teeth rotted out?
Why? A lot of reasons.
I didn't have money to fix the teeth um i also drank a lot of soda i
didn't take care of them that's the reason why that's the reason it's not you think
it's society's fault it's society's fault that I drank a lot of soda
get the fuck out of here
no, it's not
it's me
and yes, it's genetics
other people in my family have bad genetics with their teeth, absolutely!
But I certainly didn't help it by drinking a lot of soda.
I got no problem.
Somebody wants to be a fat ass and be like, Yeah, I'm fat.
Well why are you fat? Because I love food.
Great my man.
You know, you want to do that? That's fine.
But don't go and act like it's because of some bullshit.
You see what I'm saying?
It's because of some fucking bullshit.
People cope all the time with this shit.
Stop coping.
Take accountability for your life.
It's pathetic, man.
Stop drinking soda.
I like drinking soda.
I like drinking it.
I like it.
That's what it is.
The Primogen. Yo, thanks for the raid, man. I like it. That's what it is, the privilege in yo.
Thanks for the raid, man.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What's up, boys?
How y'all doing?
We're just sitting here talking shit.
How y'all doing? Yeah, W take. Yeah, I hope so.
Healthcare money sucks though? Exactly! So lose weight and take care of yourself
so you don't have to go into healthcare. That's the way I see it, right?
If there's some stranger that will hold you accountable for something
that doesn't even affect them? Exactly, yeah, that's the thing.
It's like...
I think that the only problem that I have with
any of the fat acceptance stuff is
whenever people want other people to
accept it as being an equal lifestyle.
It's not, it's inferior, it's worse
and it's bad for you and it should
not be promoted.
That being said,
doesn't mean that person deserves to be bullied, right?
So yeah, I feel like a lot of people like to cry and get upset about this shit,
but that's just the truth.
Talk on Sketch, speak about Sketch, but why y'all want me
to talk about Sketch? Damn bro like
what the fuck?
I'm amazed people wanna fucking hear
about this shit. God damn
give me a minute
I saw it's on LSF right? Like oh wow God damn. Give me a minute. I'll pull it up.
I saw this on LSF, right? Like live stream fail.
What's this bullshit?
Where is this? I'll pull up the clip.
Is he gay?
I don't know if he's gay.
Also, somebody who does gay porn doesn't mean
they're gay.
It doesn't mean
they're gay just because
somebody is gay porn.
They could be bisexual
or they could just
be doing it for the money.
There's a lot of reasons somebody
could be doing gay porn besides being
gay! I'm
just saying, right? I mean like look
I'm just trying to get in on it
20 bucks, yeah.
Damn, it's not on here?
What the fuck?
I thought I could find it.
Uh...
Um, anyway so
The game for
Frizz? Yeah, yeah. Where can I find
a clip about this shit? Like, yeah, somebody
link me something on Twitter and I'll take a look at it.
But yeah, I'll see what's going
on with this.
Watch that one now chill chill bro but yeah the comment just remind me of the ice team you know no I want to see this
man and you saw dick that's what you're known for?
Oh the bridge builder
and dick sucker? Yeah I said this before
You build a hundred bridges
and you suck one dick. You're not a bridge builder
you're a dick sucker. That's a fact
but that's also a metaphor, right?
There's a lot of
examples like that.
Yeah, no,
but that's the way it is.
People are going to
think about you
based off of that.
Look at Mia Khalifa,
right?
Oh my God.
She's so fucking obnoxious.
I'm fucking glad people treat her that way.
She's a fucking bitch! But the fact
is that a lot of other people try to live past it
and they do, right? It's not a big deal.
So yeah, how many bridges did she build uh apparently a lot uh so yeah let me see i guess i'll talk about this what was this fucking sketch bullshit like
explore where the fuck is this give me a minute i'll pull it up and just look at that
talk on for a minute uh this as i said this is stupid but man it's not even on here
give me a minute is there clip
well i can't show the whole thing for obvious reasons too graphic for YouTube that's too small this might happen to sketch damn I'm like i'm like it's i know bro i'm going one step at a time man
i'm going one step at a time like hey camper brother yeah yeah we living on the edge today so anyway i guess
i'll just talk about this for a minute right uh so this dude basically went and
I guess
I could say
what's going on. Give me one second. Actually, let me try
to find a clip about this this i'm gonna just scroll down here
see what's going on with this so what did this dude say jesus christ is loud sorry Jesus Christ is fucking loud, sorry.
Bro isn't that like one of the Island Boys?
Oh my god.
That might sound cr- this might be a shock to y'all
but that guy was a streamer on kick
I know!
Let me see if i can find the rest of these
Um...
Okay... Let's see, stare at- yeah, yeah
I'm not gonna look at the rest of this shit right?
Okay well anyway uh
basically i can't show any of the clips because it's just like there's a lot of
uh uh there's a lot of a lot of like other shit right? Let me see how I find this. Alright so basically this dude sketch
He is a... fuck he makes
content and he's a funny guy. I content he's a funny guy i think he's a funny guy and uh he's done streams
with like jinxie i'd i know he did strings i don't know if you do stream kai but he's in the w
younger he's into it you know the young bucks community, right? The young
guys, the 20, the teenage
guys, he's
in that community and
anyway this guy got
exposed supposedly for potentially doing gay porn on OnlyFans
before he became a content creator.
Now,
this is being exposed.
People are talking about this.
A lot of people have opinions about it.
He's like 26?
Yeah, but I'm like 34, so that's a young buck, right?
Like let's be fucking honest here, okay?
I stress myself out thinking about that,
so let's move on.
So anyway, yes.
So this dude is popular in the sports community
dominated by toxic masculinity
and they're never going to let him live this down.
Bro's about to lose his career for being gay.
Honestly, I don't think that's what will happen.
I think if the guy is funny and likable
then people are just
going to not really give a fuck.
They're just really not going to care.
Now there's going to be some people that will care and you've got to keep
in mind this is the problem that people on like
especially like English based social media
websites have is that they think
the whole world revolves around Western values.
It doesn't.
There's people in India
don't probably have the same viewpoints on gay people as we do.
In Korea, they don't think about it the same way.
In China, they don't think about it the same way. In China, they don't think about it the same way
and I heard that Middle East doesn't at all
actually! So you gotta
think...all those people are on the internet
talking about this so you can't go
and blame any one group of people.
And like,
you're going to have pushback on this because that's the culture that those
people exist in.
And so I'm not justifying it either.
I'm just saying,
this is how you can expect things to go.
And so the way I see it with Sketch
is that
he's a funny guy
I don't give a fuck if he wants to suck a dick or not
Why would I care about this? Why would I give a fuck
about this?
Even if it is, why would I
care about this?
I don't care.
Anyone who does care is weird but Yeah, but that's just the way
it is. But they don't think like this at
all. And here's the other thing, right?
I said this before. Just because
you suck a dick doesn't make you gay!
That's not the way it works!
I took my garbage out, like
last week. I forgot this week.
I took my garbage out last week. Am I a garbage man?
No. I cook a steak.
Am I a cook? No. I drive around. Am I
a taxi driver? I drive somebody around?
No, I'm not. So I could suck
a dick. It wouldn't be gay. It's not a big deal.
I'm super, super straight.
I could. I'm telling you guys the truth, I could,
it'd be no big deal, but it wouldn't
bother me at all. So there
are plenty of people, you know, I'm not gay, but $20
is $20, so there could be that one
and then there's also the other chance that
He's by, right? I mean he just
Bro, he tries to get it on where he can
So what's the problem with that?
People always try to turn this into being
A situation where it's like some kind of fucking like big issue or
whatever at the end of the day uh people just go in there and they're gonna do what they want to do
so that's gay though no being bisexual is bisexual is not being gay. Being gay
is being attracted to like one sex
being bi is being attracted to men and women
right? And so yeah
that's at least the way I see it
but
sounds like Asmod has an OnlyFans fallback plan.
Look, that's just what I'm saying.
Buy people have double the options.
They're winning.
Well, good for them.
I'm not...
That's just not how I am am right? So it's just
for me
like I remember
I got caught looking at porn
in like 6th grade. I told my mom that I was
looking at porn because everybody at school called me gay and I
Was bullied, so I thought I had to look at porn to not be gay
And like I made her feel sorry for me
But the truth is I was lying
Like I never was fucking gay.
Never thought I was gay.
Not even for a fucking second.
I'm not gay.
Absolutely not.
So I go and see something like this that doesn't bother me at all.
Somebody can be around me and be gay. It's
not COVID, right?
It's not like I put
my arm around them and suddenly I'm like
you know what man this dude is a nice looking guy
like that's not the way it works and so uh you know
it's not like some push to start you sure yeah i had people grab my dick multiple times
absolutely i slept in a bed with five dudes before? Absolutely. I know myself better than anybody.
So, yeah, that doesn't worry me.
No, what?
No, I'm just being honest, right?
I grew up in Austin, Texas. It up in Austin Texas. It's a weird place
it is
people make it their personality
some people do but they don't need to
hypotheticals no, i No I'm just saying in general.
Anyway we can tell you're like history
that your not gay
well I mean you could still be bisexual
right?
That's it
You could just not like that kind of stuff. But anyway
what I really try to get at here is
the people who get mad about this shit
are...I think that really its just young
guys and uh you know
you can have young guys like I get that. Like whenever you're a young guy, it can be hard to, you know, know who you are. It can be hard to, you know, like have an identity because it's like
you're worried about
oh well are people going to see me this way
or whatever
no, it is. It can be hard
for a lot of young guys and hey I'm not saying it is for everybody hard for a lot of young guys, and hey I'm not saying it's
for everybody but for a lot of them it is. And so they think that
they have to push back on being gay as like
a way to assert that they're not gay. Like nah bro
you don't really
like somebody
wants to suck a dick
they can suck a dick
and still tell you
a joke
and you can laugh
it's okay
if you laugh
at a gay person's
joke
it doesn't make
you gay
It doesn't make you gay.
It doesn't.
Right?
I mean, that's the thing, right?
Because that's not the way it works.
Some people get...
No, really.
So why does it matter?
I think that people have like a um
like a reactionary view on this because like there's been a lot of people like you know i saw like for example that there was this gay pride
parade and it was like some dude flipping his dick around and nurse kids out there now Now, what do I think about that?
I think that he should be arrested.
I don't care if you bring your kids out there, maybe arrest the parents too."
I think that's a good idea. I think it's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting.
There is no excuse for it. It's outrageous that something like that is in public
and people see something like that,
they think oh my god I'm in a circus
I better act like a clown
They see someone like Sketch and and they act like it's a big deal.
Right? They brought him here. Yeah, exactly.
But is public?
Yeah, it's public. You don't do that around
kids. That's just the way it is.
Not even with parental consent. That's just the way it is. Not even with parental consent, that's disgusting!
Like absolutely fucking not.
It's so bad. And anyway...
...that does not mean...
And like that gives people ammunition to be homophobic.
That gives... and remember what I was saying before about how
People are taught not to critically think because the conclusions of their critical thinking will get them alienated
from their dogmatic groups.
If you have crossed into the threshold
that thinking, that having a child
in a public place
with a person who is naked
at a parade for doing things
fundamentally sexual was okay.
You have crossed the threshold from logic into dogma.
This is not okay. It's not okay and everybody knows it.
In the same way that child beauty pageants aren't okay,
taking little kids to Hooters isn't okay i think it's
disgusting uh having kids at like a parade a parade like that it's disgusting it's not even
a question right but the problem is that people don't want to think like this
because if they do, they think logically
well then they come into conflict
with these dogmas
and they don't do that so they outsource
their thinking to the greater group and so what happens there is
that you have people that get this dissonance in their head and so they're already thinking
illogically and they think that this thing is a problem, a sketch. It's not a fucking
problem. It doesn't matter who cares
but because you have things like those pride
parades where you have people dancing around in
front of children
sexual ways and their parents bring them to that,
everybody can see that's wrong.
That's obviously fucking wrong.
And so they see that
and they lash out at people like Sketch.
That's what fucking happens happens it's a big problem and says could be in kids head
yeah absolutely child pageants should be banned too i agree i completely agree with you, absolutely.
Hooters is a family restaurant though?
It's a spectrum and it's not as bad as bringing
somebody out to see actual naked people
but I still think it's disgusting and weird
especially if you're doing it to kids
that are like 9 or 8 years old
I've been to Hooters like twice in my life.
I love titties and I love chicken, but I don't need them together.
I love bacon.
I love ice cream.
I don't like bacon ice cream.
I want to be thinking about
titties sometimes and chicken
at other times,
I don't need to mix everything
together all right?
So yeah...
Family restaurant my ass
Yeah exactly because
beauty page and things there
yeah i think that's just the way i that that's the way i feel right
that's the way i feel about it but anyway um so i think this is one of
the reasons why you see so much like stupid reaction
to something like Sketch. But I'll be real,
I could not
give less of a fuck.
I don't think anybody really gives a fuck.
I think that obviously like if you're
getting upset about this you got to think about why are you getting upset
about those things does it really matter to you like
you're letting somebody else that you don't even know control your mood
right? Like what are you doing, what's the scale of things like that
happening in schools um probably really really low like like out like like weird gay stuff in
schools like drag queen stuff like super super well I've talked to teachers about this because like,
uh,
I've talked to two separate teachers about this straight up.
I asked them.
So like y'all have like drag queens and shit like that in schools.
That has that ever come up?
Like,
cause I just asked the question.
And they said, no, we don't do
that, right? Like one teacher went
and said that
she said that
if a kid is like or fifth grade, they ask
what the pride flags are
and what being gay is. She'd tell them
for sure but
it's not like they're teaching little kids this
which I think is totally fine. That's totally okay.
That's what teachers are supposed to be there for.
So yeah, they still try to indoctrinate
kids into trans ideology in schools in some
states? Well,
then, but what does this have to do with him?
Right? Like, what does that
have to do with him? We're not talking
about that. And that's what I'm saying, right?
So people have these reactions
to things that they think are unreasonable, and
they react unreasonably in a different
direction. That's what I think happens, right?
So yeah, I don't think there's anything
wrong with what Sketch did.
I completely support gay people, all that
stuff. I always have.
I've been very outspoken about this for many
years. Live your life
the way you want to live your life. Do not
involve children in any sort
of sexualization.
And this goes for
furries, bronies,
drag,
any sort of weird hooters, like strip club
like child beauty pageants
all of it's bad. It's
all bad. There's not like some's good
some's not. All bad
So that's what I think.
Drag isn't inherently sexual.
I've seen some pictures, and for a lot of people it is.
I understand
it's not inherently sexual.
Well, it actually is inherently sexual sexual you're literally changing your gender
but aside from that i can see what you're saying but i still don't think you need to take kids
to something like that right it's probably just not something you should take a kid to.
So yeah, it may not be sexual but has adult themes?
Yeah, it has adult themes.
It is not appropriate for children.
Just not.
Speaking of not appropriate for
that's crazy that's crazy give me a sec That's really...
This is something special, man.
Predator Hunting Grounds
Dr. Disrespect Predator
DLC Pack oh my god
man prophecy made manifest I guess so. Holy fucking shit.
Wait.
Wait, I just realized
this. This
isn't a meme, right?
This is actually like a legit game and it just happened to be called
Predator and it just happened to have-
No
fucking way. no way I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing
it, guys.
Oh man.
Yeah...
It's not on here. I'm sorry guys.
The game is real the skin isn't
yeah i was about to say bro if that shit
was real
that would be some kind of like uh
um just a second. okay that'd be Simpsons level yeah bro like
that would be crazy oh my god the prophecy yes something
like that stupid mistakes we just say the culture and media
industry has become overly sexualized in the us in the last decade do i think
that things are overly sexualized now?
I think they absolutely are and I find it to be
obnoxious and disgusting
uh, I wish that we could go back
to... God
I feel like a fucking
oh no God, I feel like a fucking... Oh no.
Yes,
I think so.
It's been a theme since 1999?
Like, yeah.
Last decade since
1960s? Well I don't know
I feel like it's been- I think that
I think Game of Thrones
was like a proof
of concept for a lot of other shows
trending more towards sexual.
I think that was
a big thing
because Game of Thrones
was a really big deal
it was super
uh
super sexual
in a lot of cases
and I think that's what it was.
Also True Blood? Yeah, maybe.
I think that there was a shift there.
Personally.
Spartacus? Yeah, but it wasn't that popular of a show.
Fine, here you go. What this ice spice and the opener festival
what's this so tired bro she Ice so tired, bro.
She's so tired.
Get her off that damn stage!
If I showed you this picture of Ice Spice without context,
you would never think she's doing what she's doing.
Ever since that Bikini Bottom song dropped, you've been having her dance like a monkey in
a cage her next album is going to be all melodies and lullabies no 808s
no bass hits she is done dancing for. I spice go take a nap.
Man,
man,
I don't know.
Like,
you know,
I've never listened to her music before.
I have no idea if she makes good music or not. know i've never listened to her music before
i have no idea if she makes good music or not i
have no clue whatsoever yeah she's cashing in though yeah i mean
hey that's smart you should They couldn't hold it?
What's this?
When I was nine,
I got molested by a guy with Down Syndrome.
Don't laugh right now.
I'm not laughing.
Why'd you laugh?
That's fucking rude. It's such a curveball. I'm ju- it's just... That's fucking rude.
It's such a curveball.
I'm gonna say it again, and if you smile I'm going to leave.
Okay okay okay!
But hold on!
No be real, if you smile you're not fucking making sense.
Alright!
Hold on!
That really fuckin' broke your heart.
Alright! I'm really fucking close to you. No, no, no. All right! You ready?............... you know yeah something like that Yeah damn bro. That's what it reminds me of. I see something like this. Holy shit!
DEI Detective website is now back on Google. Is this a fact? Let me go ahead and look at look at it right here let's see i'll find it out
um dei
dei detected it is it's back DEI detected. It is.
It's back.
It's back. You were wrong, by the way?
I hope so! Hey!
Great! That's good.
It's back because they were discovered?
Well here's the thing. Is back because they were discovered? Well, here's the thing is that
the video that I made of this did get very popular.
There is a chance
that they saw the video and they changed it.
That chance I think is 0.1%.
I think the reality is that
they apparently had some DDoS protection on
and that caused them
not to get indexed.
And we were wrong.
This is a good thing.
I'm glad.
I hate the fact that Google censors search results.
I think it's fucking annoying, and I'm really glad to see
that it wasn't a case of that.
I'm not sure if you're wrong.
I was.
Now, I think that, again,
I don't think that I was really wrong to think what I thought.
I don't at all.
There's other websites that have DDoS protection.
They're listed.
It's listed on every other search result like there's nothing logically like i would never assume this right
but for some reason it happened it did it happened i still think they censored it
i don't i think that we were just wrong.
Yeah, I think we're just wrong now.
Could there have been? Is there a chance
that's what happened? Yes absolutely but
that's not what I think it was.
And they definitely censored for DMCA?
I don't know. It was as proof
as other guys were saying? Well here's the thing
right is that
the people that were explaining
what they thought it was yesterday
were not doing a great job
explaining it.
So,
it makes sense
why people wouldn't believe
what was being said.
But,
believe it or not, it's all quite complicated bugs sometimes
happen they do and uh the truth is that this is the way i see it right you didn't have
the knowledge to understand well even with the knowledge it still didn't make sense
to me because i know there's a lot of other websites that have ddos protection why would this
one be different all of the other search engines are able to index it but Google isn't and Google has already had
a history of censoring things already well I think this is a pretty reasonable
assumption to make right it is especially given the knowledge that was
uh that was put out there.
And also you know it said that the search results were in 80 if it isn't an 80 out of
100 this means that there should be at least something coming up right?
I mean that would be as if nothing comes
out there should be a zero so yeah i mean i yeah you're right i
fuck i didn't believe it and i'm glad that i was wrong
i'm gonna be honest, as I said,
I am very glad this is actually the best
ending of the story possible. The website is back on Google
people are able to search through Google, people
are able to look at it and also by the way
I'm not certain that I was wrong but I'm like
90%, 99% sure
I was right? At least in
this conclusion. So,
that's the way I see it. What would have been
a benefit for Google? Sure!
The benefit for Google is that
Google had made multiple statements
for example in the 2016 election and also later on during COVID that they were
censoring and curating search results in order to not have agendas be pushed that
they disagreed with or that they disliked. So because of
that, I assume that it could be logical
that Google would further extend that censorship
to other things that they also
disliked.
No one knew about it before your video um for a website no one cared about
um do you think nobody would care about the website and then that's why
i don't think that's the case at all.
I feel like a lot of people have cared about this.
This has been,
like,
a huge topic recently.
Again,
and it's not as big
as,
like,
fucking,
like,
the war in Ukraine.
No,
it's not.
But this has been quite a big topic on twitter
on steam a lot of people have been talking about
this there's been a lot of videos made about this it's like it's like some kind
of like niche issue well it is but it's a big niche issue so yeah
i don't know man ukraine fell off oh god but yeah anyway so that's the way i see it so google would have
censored them because of a niche group of gamers so what they can appease biden well i didn't say
biden you're taking you're taking what I'm saying to a conclusion
to try to make what I'm saying sound ridiculous
so I'm going to ban you
I never said to appease
Biden, I never said that
but what I'm saying is that google has exercised censorship they have exercise
censorship in one specific direction and i think that it's not unreasonable given all the other
variables that i would have come to the conclusion they were also censoring here too.
Yeah, that's it. That was fast.
Well, here's the thing, right? Is that
I have no problem with people that want to have a
conversation about it even though this person did not
want to have a conversation. They're just trying to
argue with me, right? even though this person did not want to have a conversation. They were just trying to, like...
they're trying to argue with me, right?
But that's what it was. You can check threads
no one cared about the site before you brought it up
Check trends
So I understand Well, I'm not... So,
I understand that on Google Trends
that it wasn't popular. What I'm
saying is that there have been YouTube
videos and people talking about this
DEI detected like that Steam group.
There have been millions of posts made about this.
It was a huge issue. I remember even the videos that I made about it had
millions of views. A lot of people knew about this yeah i was getting
traffic yeah if it wasn't getting traffic people wouldn't have been talking about it there was like
like wasn't the kotaku article about it like the second most popular ever Kotaku article? It was huge.
Yeah, DI's huge issue. Yeah, a lot of people
think about this. The idea that this is
some kind of fringe issue or whatever,
it's just simply not true.
There were a lot of people that thought this.
The rest of the people didn't know?
The case has been solved? Victory?
Did they figure out what the issue was?
The issue seemed to be a DDoS protection.
So it wasn't a political thing after all, good to know.
Yes, it seems that way.
If you jump into collusion and sexually conspiracy,
Big Tech is collaborating to oppress the straights or mental disability
it's not oppressing the straits but i do think that google collaborates
in order to suppress certain opinions absolutely
i don't trust them at all. I don't think you should either.
Yeah, that's...
No, no, I'll be very clear.
I don't trust them.
I think that they are actively bad actors.
I think that they are trying to suppress things.
Suppressing straight people, this is again...
This is a logical like you're exaggerating it
to make the person's opinion seem worse than what it is.
Nobody said that, but in general
the fast subterfuge and assessable for Alex Jones to your dipshit
well here's the thing if a video was made about this
I also want to use this kind of as an example if a video is made about
this and it goes up on youtube i can almost guarantee that a lot of the comments are
going to be saying things that are variations of Google found
out, that we found out about it, so they
changed it.
And remember when I said people
don't like admitting that they're wrong?
I think you'll see that in the comments
It's completely okay to
admit that you are wrong, especially if
it is something that gets what it is
I used to work at Google and it was true
People forget about companies run by thousands of people have very like-minded uh
mentality so yes it does influence things that happen with their products yeah of course
wikipedia censors and changes all their entries to fit leftist use as well
well i don't know about all of them. But all I'm saying is that
assuming people wouldn't do this would be silly.
iShowSpeed Abusing Copyright
Strike System... What is this?
No, I might look at this. Give me a minute.
Borobrinkar car what is this here how giga chad plays bit plays bay blades I'm going to go ahead and do that. The sparks!
Bro, using this against actual Beyblades is like LeBron James
showing up to a middle school basketball
match.
Like, look at this!
Is that oil?
Oh my god!
No!
This is badass!
This is awesome awesome what the fuck
oh my god This is so cool!
What the fuck?
You know what the funny thing is? It like i never played with these as a kid but i bet the people who did in their mind this is what was happening
you know
i guess the sparks actually ignited the oil yeah This is awesome.
Man, Hot Wheels too?
We did Hot Wheels in middle school.
Yep.
Holy fuck, that
is badass. Hardcore Beyblading?
Yeah bro, like this is like
these are like the drill bits that
you know like oil
companies use for fracking.
It's like, yeah, this is what they used to drill...
To dig a mile inside of the earth.
Holy fuck!
This is what the commercials were like?
Yeah, this is what the commercials were like yeah yeah this is what
the commercials are like exactly let's see this to be fooling us
what so so I'm going to have an unpopular opinion.
I think this should be illegal
because you're advertising something that's not this should be illegal.
Because you're advertising something that's not accurate.
And also, how many
of you guys, you live in the south
you live in Texas maybe
or California, Arizona
and you've been to a
local Mexican restaurant
and they bring you out
a motherfucking
book for a menu
and every page
has the shittiest
iPhone 1 photo...
Of a picture of like...
Enchiladas.
Or a burrito.
Or something like that.
Chips and salsa.
A picture book.
And every fucking
time,
those are the best.
They are so good.
It's like if they give me a picture
book that are shitty pictures taken by the aunt who owns
the restaurant, who does the cooking.
Then you know you're in for a really good meal and it's not gonna...
There's no glue.
There's nothing like that in the burritos?
Yes!
We got Tequila Sarandos here
Slime? Oh my god.
Soy sauce is a richer color, dish soap! Water?! soap water That's fake, that's fa- it's fake, fake, fake.
Jesus...
JESUS!
Jesus! Jesus. JESUS!
What's she spraying it with?
HAIRSPRAY?!
Charge skin fast.
Yeah, yeah sure.
Shoo... what?
I feel like if you have to prepare food and wear a gas mask,
you have crossed into the realm of false advertising.
I think that you have.
No, no, Bobby, I think that's what happened. Jesus. Jesus!
Wait, what?
Oh, I see it now.
What is this? wait what No, it's not gonna be the fucking syrup right? oh my god This is such bullshit man. Bubbles don't last long, seltzer tablet? Man.
Man.
You know, I want you guys to remember that there is a lawsuit against Taco Bell for how big of a difference there is between the commercials of the five-layer beefy burrito and the actual five-layer
beefy burrito. That's how bad it is.
...... so Mm-hmm.
Glue? I could see that.
Man...
Yeah, I'm gonna say it. I think that this should be illegal.
It is false advertising.
There's no other way around it.
It is.
It's literally false advertising. Like there it is it's literally
false advertising
like there
it is
it's
false
advertising
and
there's
nothing
else
more to
it
than
that
okay
so
yeah
how
would
they
enforce
it
the same
as anything else, right?
I mean, yeah, it's really just that simple.
It's
just elevation. Yeah, it's elevating
it to a place where it doesn't exist.
Like, that's the problem.
Oh my god. The champagne one makes no sense just take the picture before the bubbles run out yeah but like that's what if they need to take
like two or three pictures right man to an extent it's fine but if it's too big of a difference
To be fair to the customer
Bro, it's glue!
It's glue
That- that look
That's glue
Look bro That's good. No, no.
Look, bro.
That's soap.
You're talking about soap.
I'm not talking about like, oh, well, you know, they chart it with like a lighter or something. No, who cares though?
I think it matters. I think it
fucking matters because fundamentally
you're fucking lying. You're
fucking lying. You're selling food and it says this is what the food is gonna be,
And then you get the food and that's not what it is!
That's enough for it to matter right there by itself.
Yes!
True, but very hard to stop?
Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous.
Absolutely ridiculous is a size difference. Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous is a size difference.
Yeah, absolutely.
Would you rather get served glue then?
Yeah, serve me glue.
I'll eat it and be just like second grade
all over again. Professor, what's wrong
about DEI and indexing?
It does seem like it has been re-indexed
and everything is fine. I looked at this earlier
so we didn't need to go over it again, but
yes.
Well, Tom, I don't talk much
100% agree. Yep, fake food companies
also compete with small mom and pop stores
that make real food and it's bad for everyone.
That's a good fucking point man.
That's a great fucking point.
I bet a lot of you watch this show as a kid
and the crazy shit you see at a dollar general a dollar general

Yeah, I've never seen this.
This looks so fucking cool though.
Oh my god!
Life on social media?
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, that's probably accurate.
What's this?

So of course, yeah this is crazy I wanna I want to try it. Not gonna lie.
I don't know, bro. Like, I am
not an adventurous eater at
all. Like anything that's
not steak and potatoes,
I'm like...
You know, I'm nervous, bro.
Yeah, we know, yeah.
It's not my thing.
The English subs are translated by AI?
I say good. What's this?
Really unfortunate for an international My Dear Friend Nakata and Fares out there
it appears that the official English
and the subs are...
Let me see here. Bop Delta?
Bep Delta? Let me look this up.
Oh wow, I'm not blocked by this person.
That's always a shock.
So... How is it though?
It's better than localization?
A big criticism that people have had with
localization is that localization has been
used to change the meaning of certain phrases in order to make them
more congruent with what the values
of the people who are localizing it are.
And I think this has made
people very
untrusting
of localization, and I think this is very fair
because if you
know that this is happening,
you don't speak Japanese so
you can't really tell it's happening
So as soon as the theoretical is in your mind, you start assuming this is what's happening regularly.
Right? AI just... Yeah, it translates with no personal bias.
Yeah exactly and let's see here. bias. Yeah, exactly.
Let's see here.
It appears the official English-French
except their own German subtitles of the show might have been
translated by ai the translations come from the licensor re-meow and they're not crunchy
rolls work while blaming the service is justified,
they could have had the option to create their own translation.
We believe re-MAL should be held accountable as well.
Why should they... Wait, what?
Why should they be held accountable for what?
I'm so confused.
What even is this? I'm so confused.
What even is this?
Yeah, for the thought... yeah, I don't even understand like so
who's gonna hold them accountable? Very happy to hear they used AI to translate it.
No bullshit in the subs then?
Yeah, exactly.
They're the one
who handles international localization
and marketing of the show.
Don't let them slide
if we can get direct feedback
more directly to the source remo
can face backlash and improve their stuff for
the future the subtitles could also be fixed for other services like prime
video youtube and more and not just Crunchyroll.
And Jesus bro, this is a Karen
oh my god
linking their Facebook page?
Holy fuck! Oh my god
what is this? Jesus!
Imagine if this person put this much work into improving their life.
They probably wouldn't be making this post.
Proof!
Oh my God...
Why does the French company AD and not have their own subs
this isn't this is amazing total localizer job loss i'm glad they went with ai uh didn't buy
the proofread the subs that's embarrassing that's probably true
yeah this is a good thing yeah it seems like a lot of total localization or
total localizer eradication down with the menace.
All hail the AI Rosetta Stone.
This is great news compared to localizers?
Oh my god.
Uh, it's great, yeah.
Better than localizers.
Absolutely pro-dog shit,
pro AI opinions
throughout this whole thread.
Man.
Oh he's a voice actor.
Hey.
Hey, I get it, man.
I get it.
Yeah.
Look...
I would be upset about AI too,
I'll just tell you that.
Come on man Yeah there it is! Fighting... yeah bro this dude
down here fighting for his fucking life!
What's he gonna do
if that gets replaced?
And so, yeah.
Just sheep trying to fight off the wolf? Exactly,
man. And thank the localizers for forcing their hands.
Comments here are hilarious. Just watched the CR version.
It was horrible. The ADN subs are much better. It's under the competition."
Yeah, and so...
Long, the subtitles are accurate.
I'm okay with it. Yeah, exactly.
I think that this isn't really
a good thing entirely because
i think that well like you should use ai to do like 90 of it
and then have a person read over the results and make sure that
it's that it's correct, right?
But I don't think you should just do AI
start to finish. But you should feed
it through an AI and then
fix the incongruencies, right?
I think that's very fair.
I think this is a good thing.
It's a great thing. The reason why is
that it allows people to publish
their work, their art
with less barriers to entry
because needing localization is a tremendous barrier to
entry that every type of production studio generally has to overcome and by
overcoming that barrier to entry those production studios take large percentages from the people
that are making this art and making the stuff so the people that are actually making the art
are getting paid a lot less money because localization is necessary if it can be done with an ai
to a relative degree of uh what do you call it like accuracy then this would
be huge for them too so it's weird that people like this are
supposed to be pro-artist when the truth is that localization
is a huge cost and it allows production studios to take
massive chunks out of somebody's work and like their
profits so again people aren't thinking about this they're thinking about it from their perspective
right yeah you're cutting out the middleman
yeah exactly uh why don't they pay a japanese
uh what's this here why don't they pay a japanese english graduate to do the
translation well you explained exactly why with
the word that you used pay.
So in order to pay this person, you have to find them.
You have to tell them what their job is.
You have to manage them.
You have to communicate with them.
There's a lot of work.
It's not just like you give
them the money and the problem just instantly solves itself uh there's
like a whole cascade of issues that come out of that so yeah
that's the reason why it It makes it way more complicated.
There it is.
They're not pro-artists, they're pro-me.
That's right.
These people had no problem.
They had no problem when AI and machine automation was taking other people's jobs.
They said, learn the code.
Now it's taking their jobs, and they're saying that we should care.
I'm sorry guys, but I don't.
I think this is a natural evolution of society and technology
It's good for everyone
And if you are complaining about it, too
bad. It's still going to happen.
Are you localizing Japanese
culture? Can somebody give me a pro-cause for
localization? Sure, yeah.
So basically there's a lot of turns of phrase
like for example needle in the haystack
or arising tide floats all boats
and there's colloquialisms,
I think that's the way to pronounce it,
I could be wrong, and like
other turns of phrase that make sense
inside of a specific culture
but they don't make sense outside
of that culture. So there's a lot
of... I'm assuming the
way that Japanese kids
like high school kids talk and
their slang is probably a lot different from ours.
Right? And that's really the reason.
I'll be right back.
Hello?
Yeah, what's up?
Colloquially yeah what's up colloquialisms
colloquialisms all right i got it
yeah Yeah. Yeah.
Mhm mm-hmm yeah right yep all right well that's good to know. Okay thanks I'll give you a call later on.
Okay. Right, thanks appreciate it thank you.
Uh huh alright, alright. Yo, bye.
Alright.
That's great.
Um, so yeah uh there it is and so always be wondering yeah yeah there it is and so uh
anyway i think that obviously so uh anyway
I think that obviously it's a good
it's very, very good thing that this is happening
because it allows people that make
the art to
give it out to a broader audience.
Check out Charlie's latest video, Sniperwolf didn't actually
copystrike anyone? Yeah I saw that!
Uh...I saw there was like a message about it
and it seems like that's the case.
Oh this person's spamming? Oh, you're banned.
You typed it five times.
I thought I had seen that before. Yeah.
Yeah, you shouldn't have been spamming.
Like, if you type the same message more than once or twice
you're gonna be gone. Sorry to say.
Doesn't matter what the
message is, it's still in a link.
So yeah, someone else did it for her apparently?
Yeah, she apparently didn't do anything wrong.
Let's see here.
But yeah, this is very- what the?
Oh my god.
Alright, anyway...
So yes this is a very good thing. I'm glad to see this happening
and comment sections are jamming all these those people mauling, defending their
precious localizers. Yeah, people
are going to have no sympathy for this because
of how much they like that localizer drama
there was. But yep,
there it is. And I think this is just going to happen more often.
Anybody who thought that it wasn't
going to happen was fucking delusional.
Obviously having AI
do the entire job
100% to 0 is bad but having them do the middle 90% or 80%
is good. Anybody could have expected this and it's better for the actual creators
that it's the case. So yeah you go love this guy what's this favorite racial slur Fuck it, we're gonna watch it. What's your favorite racial slur?
What one would you like me to use for you?
When was the last time you said an N-word?
Oh, it's been days.
What's your favorite rapper that starts with Lil'? Oh, it's been days.
What's your favorite rapper that starts with Lil?
Which one died most recently?
Yo, you got the medley!
I got Jordans on, man.
Well, pull up your britches and you can do this.
By the way after after your video... He's laughing. Bro, he's so happy!
Oh my god.
By the way, after your video came out...
Oh yeah?
I got calls from as far away as Ireland
asking is Zinc
the most racist town in America.
Now what are your thoughts on that?
I told them well we used to be but we lost the title
But don't worry we'll get it back next year
Jesus Christ
Who else is a batcrawler back and f***ing me right now?
Oh, probably pretty low.
Okay.
There's always hope.
Should we hop to your neighbor so they don't think that you're riding with a black person?
I don't care. They probably riding with a black person i don't care
they probably think i'm holding you hostage
jesus fucking christ i love this shit's so fucking funny, man.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah, this is
so good. I know it's funny though.
They just become best friends?
You would really be surprised the kind of stupid shit that can happen
in these small towns.
Absolutely. How is this a video?
This is real life? It's just the way it is.
I feel like
being able to see this stuff out in the open and laughing about
it is much better for
combating actual racism than pretending
like it doesn't exist. That's my opinion,
right? It's like you just put it out there
and there's this goofy goofy ass guy and that
you know that's just how he is and it's fine right humor always defeat
racism yeah exactly like they're laughing smiling at each other
it's fine right that's what it is.
My opinion Curation is doing this, well not all of that but
It's a start right? You know growing up as
you know guy and online games, that's a whole different thing.
Let's see here... I already saw this Gen Z when they get old.
Damn, bro.
Damn, bro, is she playing Diablo?
Is she playing Diablo 4?
She playing a wizard?
What do they call him this time, Sorcerer? Jesus bro.
She got the ruffles bro!
Oh my god! And she got the little clips, man
I never had those fucking clips
Bro like we just use those ghetto ass
paperclips like you know for
an office we just put the black paper clips on
them. She living the life? Yeah, exactly
bro. This is like my mom. She would do this
shit all the time. Why she be on a computer
playing games more than me?
It was nuts.
Classic Man Charity. Yeah yeah binder clips yeah exactly there's the walker too damn bro what's up
man y'all gotta stop this y'all gonna man man shut the man shut the up.. That's crazy.
Wow.
That is
crazy. How about that?
Do the pose? No, I'm not
doing the pose. Absolutely not
Wow, there's yeah, I just we don't need to see this
We looked at this before a human car wash. Oh my god
I don't need to see that asmonds room isn't too bad compared to this damn oh
yep Yeah.
You know, with those anime figurine boxes,
I'm really glad they're doing this wearing gloves.
Ooh,
delicious!
Amazing!
See, that's what happened to mine.
Yeah, see?
Yeah!
Yep.
Right?
Yeah, I had that happen with some cornbread.
It turned blue and black. Yeah! Oh! Yeah.
Oh, the seal broke so the water... yeah there's like nitrogen or something
like that in it?
I don't even know.
Man! Oh they got all Man.
Oh, they got all the cups organized! That's great!
Man... Damn, bro. Like...
God damn! god damn professional yeah fly him in you chill out bro like yeah hey look
i've been trying to throw...
I actually forgot to take my garbage out this week, which is I'm a fucking idiot.
But I've been trying to fill up my garbage can every week with trash.
And I have a big garbage can and
I did that this week, like I threw away
this week, I threw away
a bunch of shit.
So, I had shoes with mold
on them.
I had...
There was like a box
of random stuff some company sent me. I threw that away, didn't want it.
Let's see... what else? Buy a dumpster. I already have one
It's called my house
Oh fuck let me think
What else besides that
Mold on shoes yeah
I didn't even know that man like it was weird. Yeah probably no
threw away a lot of shit the other day. It's been
it's been a lot any dead
animals not haven't found him yet
launchers hire some maids because there are
a lot of things that like I would have no problem with maids cleaning my
bathroom. But
people don't understand
it's
not good.
It's not good. It's not good.
Like, I just tell you that.
Why are you cleaning?
Because it's endless on zero?
No, no, I've been trying to clean my house up for a bit, man.
I have.
Yeah, it's been for a bit.
Like, I've been working at it slowly keep in mind slowly over time
but i can put a swallow your pride and hire them it's no no the reason why is
i don't want them to throw away things that could have sentimental value
To me or get rid of certain
Things other than that
I would have no problem with maids cleaning my house
I would have zero issue with it
Then tell them There's just too much stuff in the house.
So you're a hoarder?
You think it's a hoarder?
I don't know.
I've never...
Like, I've never had maids clean up my house before.
I don't know
anything about this, right?
Maybe I should do it.
But no,
I don't have an ego about it, right?
I just don't think
it's the right option.
That's all.
They can ask you?
Yeah, maybe.
Kind of hoarder mentality?
No, no.
I mean,
I don't know how it works.
I've never done that.
I have no idea.
So yeah.
Who's shedding the backyard? Throw all this shit in it?
Yeah, exactly.
And you're a hoarder but there's much out there? I don't even think that I'm... I'm going to be honest.
I really don't think that I'm a
hoarder.
I don't think so.
Really not.
Like
You are? I don't think so.
How do...I don't know!
What makes a hoarder?
I'll just look it up on YouTube.. Okay.
. So all of us enjoy having objects that bring meaning and joy to our life. Individuals with
hoarding disorder are no different from all of us, we have three main reasons
that we keep objects so
one is sentimentality something that reminds you of a happy
time or a loved one. Sure. The second is the aesthetics
you know walking along the beach and seeing a beautiful seashell
you want to take it home
and remember the beauty of
the day and object. And the other is
usefulness so I don't wanna throw this away, could come in handy
someday. Now individuals with
hoarding disorder have these same reasons but they're magnified
so objects may have all three of these reasons or the feelings maybe more intense
and that's really where the attachment comes in
and the difficulty parting with objects. Individuals with hoarding disorder
are very creative, and they can come up with lots of
uses for a particular object.
And I don't do that
had clients where
something as simple
as a toilet paper roll,
they could use it
for binoculars
for a kid
that's the fucking that's literally target
i don't do this
that's crazy
that's not even remotely close
a child's science fair project um you know could be donated to a local school
an art project could be made out of it. However, one of the differences that distinguishes
an artist versus somebody with
hoarding disorder is that those
ideas are not fulfilled and
realized so when you ask
somebody with hoarding disorder, they don't have plans to donate it to a school.
They may have plans but they don't actually execute on that.
No no my mom did this shit! they may have plans, but they don't actually execute on that.
Nah, nah, my mom did this shit. I remember because she had a projector
in the garage and
she said you can't get
rid of that. Somebody could use that
and then I said nobody wants that shit
and she said, yeah
they will. You don't want to get rid
of it. I threw it away.
I threw that shit
away. I did.
I just didn't tell her.
That's it.
Yep.
One of the things
I would say about hoarding disorder is that it stems from some characteristics deep within us as human beings
that are actually positive. So wanting to be conserving resources and throughout the
evolution of man it's been important in times of relatively few resources to gather resources, and it has been very adaptive.
But as time has gone by with industrial revolution and also a lot of advertising,
we get more and more pressure that taps into
I don't do that.
the fundamental need to save
No, I don't fucking do it.
and conserve resources.
I don't fucking do that.
Other people do that. I don't fucking do that. Other people do that,
but I don't fucking do that.
I never do that.
Absolutely not.
Yeah,
that doesn't happen.
Nope.
What makes people into hoarders? And by people, I mean me and also help.
Anthony here, and we have all heard stories. People with so much stuff that it fills their house And they're scared to let people see how they live
And people who have so many cats that they don't even notice one of them got caught under a pile of old newspapers for months
and died.
These are stories from the extreme end of The Hoarding Series.
That's crazy, I never had that happen.
I had that happen with like a possum or like a rat
but that's different, It wasn't a pet
spectrum, but it just got in the house
estimated that it affects 5%
of the US population
15 million people now hoarding
breaks down into three main symptoms it's the excessive collection of
valueless stuff it's the inability to get rid of things and it's a huge inability to organize any
of the things that you're actually hoarding. Okay, I do that.
I don't organize anything.
That's okay.
I get that.
But I don't organize anything in my entire life.
It's not special to like items.
Like I don't organize my schedule.
I don't organize my schedule, I don't organize my hair, I don't organize
anything at all ever
A couple kinds of hoarders
The impulsive acquirer who just loves
the feeling of getting...
I never acquire.
I am not an acquirer.
I even threw away, like, four moldy pillows.
I bought two more of them?
They suck.
I wasted $9.
New stuff and then keeps it all
because of personal interest or
connections. Then there's the worried keeper
The person who thinks
just about everything
is going to come in handy later.
I never do this.
I never do...
I'm not a hoarder.
In some unknown
or crazy hypothetical situation.
No. Just to get it out of the way
I've definitely got some mild
hoarding tendencies in my family
My dad has this room in his place
that you just don't go into
and then my mother has 30 years worth of
magazine back issues in her garage.
I'm always... Okay, to be fair, I do
still have all my old Nintendo Power
magazines.
I do.
I threw away all the other magazines, but I could not bring myself to throw away
the Nintendo Power Magazines.
And you know what?
I'm not sorry.
Sorry. I'm not sorry. Nope!
...been something of a collector,
of garbage, so that should tell you
that I've got a vested interest here, but that probably
also tells you a couple of other things. This is essentially an environmental issue, maybe
even a genetic thing and that's exactly what scientists have found.
So they put a bunch of hoarders into an fMRI, because scientists love few things more than
a good fMRI and they found that asking those people to make choices about material possessions
made the decision-making parts of their brain light up way more than it did in people without the disorder.
Which means hoarders actually have a higher emotional connection to physical stuff,
just all stuff in general but particularly things that they own.
They're wired to hoarding his real.
I don't do that.
I don't do that.
That's not me, now there are things
that I'm emotionally
connected to, yes
but do I do that
with like everything?
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
No.
They've only been studying for the last 20 years, and mental health professionals used to lump it in with OCD.
But the new version of DSM, that's that manual for psychologists we talked about before
It's coming out next month, it's making hoarding its own disorder,
which is great because typical
OCD treatments have been pretty
useless on hoarders. I think
I'm just lazy and messy like
that. And I'm not a fucking hoarder.
I'm just lazy and I don't clean anything up.
Like it's not that complicated.
Specialized therapy is really expensive
and time consuming so having
it classified as its own thing could get it recognized by insurance companies
for sufferers to get the right help hoarding being its own disorder also lends some credibility
to a theory as to why it might exist there are
some people that believe
its served an evolutionary purpose,
resources were scarce in every society
and people who valued things more
and saved them more consistently
might have had a survival advantage.
But I do not know if I buy that because I save empty plastic bags and five-year old
receipts, and I imagine caveman me would've just saved interesting leaves or dirt.
Do you have hoarding tendencies? Or
have to live with somebody who does? I'm sorry. Let me. Like, I've just watched
two videos
and I'm convinced
that I'm not a hoarder
and if you watch
two YouTube videos
about a mental disorder
and you don't think
you have it
then you definitely
don't have it.
There's no way.
No,
there's no way your Wo, there's no way.
You're WoW Storage?
That's a video game and also I've thrown
tons of stuff away with that.
I'm not a hoarder.
Yep,
I'm not.
Uh,
I don't even think
that I'm remotely close.
Like, there's stuff
that I have.
I mean like yeah
I have things in my room
but like
most things
I throw away
I get rid of stuff
like
I don't know
I never buy hardly anything like I bought probably like for myself or
probably bought like less than five things in the last three years.
I just don't do it
I'm unorganized
I'm messy and I'm lazy
but I'm not a god damn hoarder
okay
yeah that's not what's fucking happening man
what the fuck is all this bullshit?
Oh my god. Y'all need to chill the fuck out.
Counter reason AI
or fucking what is this here?
Of course... What is this shit?
Never seen you get mad about throwing out cups yeah i have one cup from like 2007
but i have that cut because i want to see what's going to happen with it, right?
That's different.
That's okay.
Yeah, that's normal.
My favorite streamer is probably Asmongold.
Asmongold?
He has always been the best...
I don't know why everyone always talks about
Asmongold's room, but what? It had some stuff
on the ground. I don't know exactly what's happening because there's like seven voices in this video and
I don't know if any of them are the girl.
I have no fucking idea what's happening at all.
I don't think this room is that bad, by the way.
Okay, alright, that's not very good.
This is like basically...
That's really not so bad.
It's not.
Like, is it good?
No. But it's not that
bad.
That's a guy not
a girl I don't
fucking know I'm
just saying in
general I don't
think it's that bad
it's a battle
station I have
a lot of cups on
my desk right now
I'll be fair
I do but uh you know person lives
on discord there's a lot of people like that yeah it's a guy i don't give a who cares Who cares?
Bust the fucking glass and get it out yourself.
That's right. That's right.
He really wanted that, yeah he did!
Oh my fucking god!
Actually a crime that is yeah
guys I'm pretty sure that's a crime actually
you're right holy fuck
okay so let's see what else
is there and other stuff I was
going to look at
wish you could do that with gotcha you can just and uh other stuff i was going to look at
i wish you could do that with gotcha you
can just uh
just do that but the glass is your bank
account
let's see oh um
so there's been a recent comment.
Every single time that I make comments about WoW,
a lot of people on the WoW Twitter space get offended and upset about the fact that i have opinions
about the game and i thought this was kind of funny so
i've said why sod isn't great according to asmongold
so this made a lot of people
mad because I'm not currently playing
Season of Discovery.
Has it ever occurred to you that
maybe the reasons why
I have a complaint about the game are the reasons why I'm not playing it.
Also,
Why is it...
Like, I leveled to 50.
I cleared the raid multiple times.
I did the dungeons, like...
How many runs of ZF do you have
to do before you can have an opinion about
the game?
You know what I mean?
Like,
I've done Sunken Temple
like a lot of times.
I think three?
That's a lot.
I feel like
I've got an idea
what's going on,
right?
Wow Twitter is
PvP hatred.
Yeah.
So anyway,
let's see here
at this point
can he just admit
that he's grown
out of WoW
and his interests have changed?
Sometimes if you have an issue with every aspect of WoW then maybe the game isn't for you.
You're right! And that's why they made Season of Discovery.
It was for people like me,
People that have grown out of retail but still want a game
that's continually updated, it's like Classic WoW
I was the target audience of Season of Discovery.
And now, I don't know if anyone is.
Barely any difference though! Yeah that's the way I feel sod is wrath light yeah i know where are you
i thought it was for dads hey listen like i'm
i'm in my 30s i'm an audience i'm i am a target audience for Season of Discovery. Okay?
So,
saw it as retail light? Yes.
So people will go and like... Let's read some of the comments about this
i have vr's meaning to show you my find interesting i'll have to look at it if you send me on discord i'll make sure to keep up with that
uh problem is people in the live community give him too much attention.
His viewers want him to talk crap about WoW.
They eat it up. It's a never-ending cycle of misery.
I love how WoW has distilled down every single fucking dumb person to where like now...
Now they have no ability to um...
Like everybody in the wow community simps for a while whereas everybody in the lao community used to like be critical of the game and i think
the reason why is that everybody who's been critical of wow has basically quit the game by now
so you have like only the most hardcore of the hardcore fans of the game left
that are like tweeting about it and talking about it so they become
super defensive about it. Yeah,
It's like you know again it's like
uh...you know all the water
evaporates and you just have that little
bit down at the bottom that's like super fucking potent,
there it is.
That's what's left of the WoW community on Twitter.
And so while we're saying 100% correct,
actually repeating exactly what he says himself.
Yes,
there it is.
Removes an option of getting carried gdkp so the game isn't good as mond gold uh-huh right somebody that can't spell my name this is the wow communityW community, guys. Whatever opinion you want
to be was a penny of your favorite game too much? Yes, exactly.
Tori had nothing
at all, played for years. Holy fuck,
bro. People try to take psychology into this.
GDKPs are fine,
good way for players
to stay engaged?
Yeah, true!
So,
there's a lot of people
that are unhappy
that Asmon goes, yeah bro, like there it is i personally never seen you in the gdkp
i've been watching for a while yeah because i don't need to join them the guy's just a
shit talker like what do you expect is it I guarantee you that if you had a conversation with that person
after five minutes, you would be dumber.
Guaranteed.
So yeah, of course you're going to have somebody talking like that.
Someone doesn't share my opinion, time to psychoanalyze them.
Yes exactly, I'd be playing sod if GDKP was up.
So yes, here's the truth.
A lot of people feel
the same way that i feel
and the small insure irrelevant
community
of wow people on twitter doesn't make
that not true.
There is a massive contingency of people
That want Classic WoW to be like Classic Wow, and I think that the fact that
I know that I'm right
Is that Every single comment
And criticism of me
Not a single one
Of them
Is about what I said
That's impressive
Really
Whenever you think about it.
Not a single person managed to say anything of any relevance at all.
Not enough hoarding mechanics in the game. Yep, there it is.
I agree, GDKP isn't bad, but asking Blizz they don't want to moderate their games so long and needs to be banned? Yeah, well then that's the way I see it, right?
If I hear that emergent
player behavior is being banned because
we don't want to follow the rules
of our own game, then I just
don't want to play the game. I think that's ridiculous.
At that point they don't even care. Why should I care?
That's crazy.
Like what do you mean?
You're doing some glam and so is responding to it?
No, I've got no problem responding
to this kind of stuff, right?
Because you always have these people and i just
want to let people know right these are people who have dedicated their entire life to wow
their entire online presence is dedicated to wow that's all they think about. That's all they play
and they see somebody who has broken out of the matrix like I have and I'm not playing
the game all the time anymore and they see that as a threat. They act like I've betrayed
the fucking game! This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. I want the game to be better.
You know what's funny is that if they would actually stand by what they believe, the people who are unhappy with the game
and still play it, Blizzard would change
the fucking game! They'd change the fucking game.
They'd change the fucking game, but they don't!
Are they worse than gacha players? Yes. I'm just saying like...
...I played this game a long time and I think what I'm saying with a lot of these videos is very true.
And if it wasn't true, then you'd see more people explaining why it's not true.
Did the game... Do you think the game will get better?
I don't know.
I mean, like, it's...
I think that for Retail WoW I think Retail WoW
has created an audience
of people
that like the way
the game is designed now,
I'm just not one of those people.
I don't like the way Retail WoW is designed.
I don't
like how formulaic it is.
I don't like how cyclical and seasonal in nature it is. I don't like how cyclical and how seasonal in nature it is.
I'm just not really the target audience
for that game anymore.
That's all there is to it.
Yeah, that's it.
I can talk about why I don't like it and everything like that sure
sure but at the end of the day i'm just not really the target audience i don't really like it uh
but with classic wow, I do feel like
I am the target audience. They're trying to bring in people like me
So that's why I have my opinions about it
And also I can have my opinion about retail too
I played 30 thousand hours of retail WoW, that's a lot of hours. So yeah.
When was the last time you woke up excited to play a game because
you knew it would be amazing aside from Elden Ring?
The last time I woke
up excited to play a game
I was excited to play Wuthering Waves.
I was...
Hey.
Um...
I was excited to play The First
Descendant. I was excited
to play Dragon's Dogma 2.
Um... I was excited to play Dragon's Dogma 2.
I was really excited to play Blasphemous 1 after I played the second one. I was excited to play Armored Core.
I was excited to play hades 2.
i was excited to play kill knight remember i played that i was excited for the PAL World update.
Yeah.
No rest for the wicked?
Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of games
I've been excited for.
Well, I'm excited for Once Human.
Like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow
and I'm going to be enthusiastic
because I get to play a game
that I've been looking forward to.
You excite easily? No, I don't excite easily no i don't excite
easily i just like i'm not him like i'm just
excited yeah i'm excited to play the game yeah it'll be fun
like i'm like i'm excited to go and get a drink at McDonald's.
Like,
I try to take...
I try to take a little bit of joy in doing things in life that I enjoy
doing.
Like,
it doesn't always work but it's something that I try to do.
It's not like I'm freaking out about this and I can't control myself,
but yeah.
Just on a different...
Yeah, no, I try to be positive about games
all the time. So yeah,
the chatter is fucking miserable.
Why do you like gacha games more than WoW?
Isn't WoW greater than a gacha game?
I think that it's basically the same thing.
You're basically spending money and you can buy stuff in the game i think that's
pretty close pretty close to the same thing i'll be right back i need to uh use a bathroom so so. so so so so so so so so so so so my bad are we good now yeah okay
so anyway
as I was saying
I've been doing this thing with McDonald's.
And the thing with McDonald's,
the way it works is that
I've been going to McDonald's
every single day.
And I haven't been going for the food,
I've been going for the receipt.
Because the McDonald's that I go to
gives receipts
that begin in 13,
and then they have two numbers after that
that are random.
And I wanted to get a receipt
that said 1337, the elite number. i've been going to mcdonald's every day for like six months
and i finally got it let me make sure this doesn't show anything bad on it.
Yeah, should be fine.
I fucking got it boys!
There we go.
Imma put that on my fucking wall.
I'm very,
very excited.
Very happy.
It's good.
I'm glad.
Framing it? Yep. So, it's good i'm glad framing at yet something like that
and some might back
what does it mean
uh... just means i got the receipt that sort of what it fucking means. What are you buying?
I just got a drink. I get drinks at McDonald's
and McDonald's has my favorite, they have
my favorite drinks
hoarder moment. It's not a bro. It's not
a hoarder moment. it's a fucking receipt yeah what do you mean
simple accomplishment see that's the
thing is like for me I have little
things like that in my life that make me
happy and I do this like i will have games
like that that play with myself and it's enjoyable why does it have to be
13. i don't know like bro i don't make receipts at mcdonald's you think i know what they're doing
absolutely not i'm surprised any number yeah that was smart yeah it was fun man
and on the supercell thing i'm on fenlon
Oh bro
I don't even know what the fuck's happening with supersaw
I'm gonna be totally honest like uh, it seems like they need to get their shit together though. I'll tell you that
absolutely
I'm not yeah, bro. I'm not being a hoarder. It's a per- it's a side Absolutely.
Yeah, bro, I'm not being a hoarder.
It's a side quest.
Yeah, it is.
It's a side quest.
It's a little excitement that happens in McDonald's.
And also whenever I got the receipt I kept going to McDonald's.
It's not like I stopped going to McDonald's
after I got the receipt. Like, I really just kept
going to McDonald's.
That's really just the way it is.
I'll watch this. I'll watch this.
I want to watch this.
Did you talk about Sketch?
Yeah, I did, bro.
I talked about Sketch.
Like, bro, he do wants to suck a dick?
That's not...
Wait, here's so i said about sketch
on my side again
if u
laugh at joke
from a guy that's gay,
it doesn't make you gay.
So if somebody says something funny and you say that's funny
but you find out later that they're gay, you didn't just become gay. Sucking a dick? No it doesn't... sucking a
dick doesn't make you gay absolutely not
there's plenty of people that suck dick in their knock day
what are you talking about?
What the fu- who? People that want money?
What're you talkin' about? what are you talking about
yeah
this doesn't make you gay.
Like, I...
You're projecting?
No, I'm not projecting!
I'm just saying, like, that's just...
There's a lot of reasons somebody could suck a dick.
Not every single one is being gay. Now, being
gay is probably the main reason
but it doesn't mean it's the
only reason
I don't think it's that complicated.
Yeah, people turn this...it's honest where
people are going to do what they need to
And I just don't think it's a big
deal, man.
I'm going to be honest. Like, I really... I just don't care.
Like, I don't...
The thing is with with being gay or
you know, being into some other shit
I don't care about it.
I'm not thinking about it.
Whenever I say that, like...
Whenever I say I believe in people who should be treated the same
I don't give a fuck whether somebody's straight so why the fuck should I care if they're gay?
It doesn't matter to me.
I'm not sucking a dick.
It's not my problem.
I'm not going to be thinking about this shit. What am I going to be thinking about this shit, what am I
going to be thinking about this shit for?
I never thought about it as a way to make money, you've absolutely
thought about sucking a dick to make money, everybody's
thought about that, come on, come on.
Like what do you mean?
Of course everybody has, shut up.
Yeah I know you have it
but not you doing it
but like the idea of it. Right? That's
it. No bro, see here's the
thing. Like I
I'm very lucky.
I've always been very confident in my sexuality.
I've never felt confused at all, ever.
So when I see somebody else is gay
I don't
see gay as like
COVID
I don't, like if
I go next to them, I don't, like if I go next to them I don't become gay.
It doesn't happen.
So it doesn't bother me.
That's it, you don't catch gay.
If you could have, I probably would
have.
And I didn't
because I'm not.
I always say no homo.
Hey man, if you say that That everything else afterwards
Can't be gay, right?
There you go
What a topic
I think it's fucking funny
That people are getting upset about this
There are a lot of gay people out there that people are getting upset about this.
There are a lot of gay people out there.
What are the percentage of gay people?
Was it like 4%, 3%?
That's millions
of people.
There's a lot
of fucking gay people out there.
Yeah,
that's like one out of 30
people. That's a lot.
Is it only 10, 15%?
No, no probably in terms of
if you want to count all LGBT
I'd say probably like four to don't know 4-8%
somewhere around there. If I had to guess
I'm not a fucking
statistic
I'm not a wizard right?
But yeah it's somewhere around there I'd say do a poll and chat no if
I do a polling chat everybody's gonna say they're gay
like that's that's come on come on that's obviously what's going to happen so
today i'm full
eighty seven percent in the period at eight point
and then for real
yeah yeah i mean come on guys let's be real
7.2%
of 2022
Yeah, anyway
That's my opinion on it
Whenever I say that I believe in equal treatment,
what I mean by that is
that I don't care
if someone's gay or not gay.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Now,
if I knew somebody was gay
and they were
a close friend of mine,
I would absolutely
make gay jokes with them. Absolutely.
The same as if somebody knew
me, they would make jokes about me being
skinny or not having teeth or something like that
or balding because that's how
guys are. It's not a big deal, but
actual genuine negativity
and resentment? It's not there.
Sorry to say.
Yeah, it's just not there.
Let's see I'm sorry guys I don't hate gay people III hate to
disappoint everybody but um I just
don't.
Sorry.
No, it's just not my thing.
All right, man, what a week.
What a week it's been. Look, paper The First Descendant should very much be a game that I love.
It is a looter shooter with a variety of PvE
Hormone missions, dungeons and boss battles just to name a few. We're grinding for gear
we got cool characters to customize via
this mod system. We got the shared open
world spaces with other people running around
I mean this checks a lot of boxes for me
and it's very similar to games that I've sunk a load of time
into, including the obvious ones like
Warframe, Destiny, and Division.
But also, I've enjoyed some of the less
popular games, games people think
are bad, like Defiance, Firefall and Outriders
And I thought I was hoping really
that the First Descent would be another
one of those games just to add to my list
But after playing a bunch between the pre-release
beta test and now for a few days post launch.
I gotta say, it's just not
hitting the mark. I don't love
it. I don't hate it either. Well, I do
hate parts of it which we'll get to but I also
think it does a few things quite well,
and that's why I'm not surprised
there are a lot of people enjoying this game.
For starters, like the-
Yeah, I think the game's good.
I mean, it's not like...
This game's not a 10, okay?
It's not a 10, but it's good.
Gameplay generally feels really good.
This notoriously can be difficult for third-person
shooters. They tend to lack that sense
of impact compared to the first-person
shooting games. It's not perfect, no, but I would say
that shooting and using abilities is
pretty snappy and fairly well done.
In fact, I think the highest...
The game, and this matters so much,
the game plays well.
It's praise that I would give
this game the best thing
that it does is in fact
the gameplay feeling good
and that's a big deal
yet on a similar note
I think the movement
is well done to at a baseline every single I think the movement is well done too. At a baseline, every
single class has the ability to sprint,
double jump, mantle terrain and then use a
grappling hook. The big thing with this game though
is the fact that it accounts for and carries
over momentum so when you're using a grapple hook like
you can really fly around the environment starting from a sprint
like spider-man to like any part of the terrain or objects
and then while you're flying towards your targets
you've got this horizontal control
that lets you slightly move left or right.
This allows you to basically launch yourself
around the side of your targets
carrying that momentum with you
and then you follow that up
with a second grapple hook some distance
away. I mean, you can really...
It feels good to play. Like it's really just
that simple. It feels good.
Just be flying all over the place.
It's just a lot of fun to use, especially when that is coupled
with a descendant who already has built-in
mobility like any leaps or
any move speed enhancements. Yeah. It can just be
a whole heck of a lot of fun sprinting
and swinging around. Another thing that I've enjoyed is the
class design, like yes there are some pretty
generic characters, like you got the basic
shooter dude bro
but that's my main
I have him at level 40 but that's my main.
I have him at level 40.
What do you mean?
No, no, he's cool.
What do you mean?
You got the turret guy.
You got the one dude who tosses out grenades.
You got Elsa.
But then there's characters like Bunny.
Now she's been getting a lot of attention for reasons other than her playstyle but genuinely i think she's like one
of the coolest design classes that I've played in a looter shooter. I would agree if i
would play another character it'd be bunny. I'm being serious here, the class is built around
the concept of charging up this electric meter and then
using it to deal massive area-of-effect
damage, so as you run, you
store up this built electricity, and then your
various abilities will deal increased damage
based on your charge level, so this includes things like lightning
emission which will pulsate aoe damage for every seven meters you move or thrill bomb where you can
get an extra burst of aoe damage on call and And then, on top of that,
after landing from a double jump you also deal-
By the way, Ajax is better.
Like it just does more damage.
It's just...
It's the best one.
Additional AOE damage.
And then you couple those mechanics
with the speed and light ability, which
increases your run speed 50%,
and the faster you run, the quicker you build up electricity
and then the more frequently you're pulsating
every 7 meter AOE explosion.
It's just crazy dude! You can also couple this with the grapple
hook and for every seven meters you move while grappling
you will also pulsate additional damage.
The end result of playing this character
when all the pieces come together is you're running
around constantly at 150% move speed
and grapple hooking all over the place to get
additional bursts of AOE damage every
7 meters you ever move, then pulsating
additional AOE damage on top of that
all while double jumping because whenever you land, you do more
AoE damage. It's just crazy.
It's a real lot of fun
interesting class. It's a fun class to play
and that's what matters, right? It's fun
to play the game. Then we've got the boss fights
that are known as Void Intercept Battles
These I found varied and interesting
outside of the fact that every one
of them take place in this single digital
arena. I actually thought overall those boss encounters were really good,
interesting mechanics.
Are the boss encounters good?
I think that they are...
I'm trying to think.
I don't like that one dick sucker
that teleports and then he does the frozen thing.
That's so annoying,
I hate that fucking ability.
That's the only one that I didn't like.
Yeah, other than that, the other ones were really fun. With multiple phases even the first couple of boss fights because you unlock them as
you level up.
The first few ones can be quite challenging and it just gets even harder
from there they look cool well animated and some of them especially later on
actually really require coordination and effort with your group i also like
the world in a i guess guess I got lucky, man.
Like, I've one-shot every single one of them
pretty much.
Like, I think I wiped on...
There was one... I think it's because there was a destroyer
or the consumer or something
and he would heal.
Try hard mode?
I will.
Did you hangman?
No, that's the last one
I haven't done him yet.
Firements
it kind of reminds me
a bit of Anthem
or Skyforge.
If you've ever played that, peep.
Another bad game that I enjoyed.
Lots of cool looking ancient structures and ruins.
They got the sci-fi twist all throughout
and they're in these varied settings and locations.
The story in this game European-inspired architecture,
deserts with lots of craggy rocks
and metallic industrial buildings,
foggy forests that remind me a lot
of like the Pacific Northwest area of the the us i mean all around it's
a cool play space there's cool structures
a cool setting maybe a tad generic
feeling at times but overall i enjoyed
moving around this world top of that too
i think the graphics are pretty solid like the launch update
I think it looks good. The game ran really well
for me and then just finally like I do
like the general structure of the game right
so you got those shared open world spaces
I've always been a fan of this, running around fighting enemies
doing quests and then just having random people
show up and all of a sudden you're working together
to complete this one objective
I think the open world objectives
in this game function extremely well.
And whenever you think about
them, in terms of
how well do they play?
Is there friction?
There is almost no friction in making them.
It's never like somebody joins
and ruins your run.
I actually think
it's very well designed.
Fun! You go around the world from one
quest marker to another, you then clear
the zone and then at the end you basically get
what is a dungeon run. You finish
that, you move on to the next zone.
The early level dungeons are trash.
The later ones in the game are really
cool, but the early ones are literal
trash. I think they fucked up with this.
They should have made better dungeons at
the early game. I think you're going to have people thinking they're boring
and they're not going to get to the late game because of it.
And that's the progress through
this game interwoven with some story
on top of that you can do voice intercept
battles in between, they're actually required as you progress.
As well things like special operation missions for grinding resources and materials
And then you are also working on your character
You're equipping new weapons when they come up
You're playing with your mods
Tinkering your build via that system Enhancing it through other ways You're equipping new weapons when they come up. You're playing with your mods,
tinkering your build via that system
enhancing it through other means
and hey if you like grindy loot games
this is a grindy loot game
there's a lot of different things to grind
especially those one to three percent drop chance items
you need to unlock certain descendants and weapons,
but that's another story which we will get to here in a second.
But yeah as I said there's Plunky
Yeah just get him
I think this game does well
I should enjoy the first descendant
This video should be
Dude I'm hyped! Uh oh
The game's awesome, I love it! Yeah. But I don't
and there's a few reasons why
For starters many of the issues that
I had back in early beta tests
have persisted through long...
Here's one issue. I don't know if he's going to bring this up.
I don't think you get enough purple ammo,
and I think that if you got
more purple ammo, the game would be more fun.
I just want more purple
ammo so I can use that gun more
because I think it's cool to use
a sniper rifle or the rocket launcher
like that's it the rocket launcher.
Like, that's it?
It would just be cool.
And I'm not just going to complain here I will provide feedback as we move
throughout as well. So there's some smaller things like for one
There are just a lot of rough edges around this
game. Things like animation
sound effects even the ambient noise
none of these struck me as particularly good
I think this stuff is just, it's just a little rough. Also
the dialogue, I mean, this is just flat out
bad. Like, it's not... The VL
of the dialogue is not...
I skipped the story for this game.
What I understand. So basically, think about
a Korean version of
the...
This is my understanding
of the story.
The Zack Snyder Justice League
with Darkseid
Imagine that but
it's this game and it's Korean
That's literally it game and it's Korean.
That's literally it.
Not good. Also, pretty sure it's not synced up with mouth movement unless I was
having a stroke the entire time I was playing
this game. Also, the game feels kind of stiff across the board.
It's a little harder to pin this one down.
I can't really find the exact words,
but I would just say something about the way like
the characters and enemies move NPC animations.
There's like a lack of natural
feel to it all. It's just not fluid enough.
I think that he's
right if you compare it to a game like
Remnant 2.
I would say Remnant 2 is superior in
every single way, in terms of combat to
this game.
Maybe just not enough
to those animations. Not enough
keyframes?
Is any of this game game breaking? No, not really, but again
it's what I would call rough around the edges
Simple fix here, continue
polishing the game, work on stuff and
improve as time goes on with patches. Easy right? The biggest
hangups for me though... I don't know if they're gonna address
these but maybe we'll see. Okay so
the open world it still feels
lifeless. This was the case in the beta
people told me it was addressed and they fixed it.
I've not really seen that in the past three days while playing.
Fact is, if you or someone in the instance of
the zone that you're in hasn't started a quest there's just
absolutely nothing happening in these open zones. There's
nothing going on. The reason and the
problem is that the amount of people
that can be in the zone is very low.
You need to have more people in the zone
at one time, right? It's like you could have 10 zones with 50 people
or 50 zones with 10 people.
It's better to have 10 zones with 50 people
because it feels better if they game can run that that's just feels better. If they game can run that, that's just
infinitely better. You're not
seeing roaming packs of NPCs, not even
static groups taking hold in locations
there are no dynamic events occurring
no puzzles to solve, there is no wildlife running around those little flourishes that really add
to a game feeling alive and full literally nothing.
That's a really good point.
He's bringing up everything that he's saying here.
I totally agree with he's right.
It feels too much too theme park-y.
What is happening on these maps?
It's all just flat dead landscape.
And I don't mean technically flat.
I just mean it's like Flatline, it just feels dead
unless someone has started a quest.
The world only populates with
objectives, with enemies, with events
if you or, like I said, another
player in your instance.
If someone starts a mission at those static markers,
that then will spawn in specific enemies and objectives for a mission.
Whereas, for example, take a look at Destiny.
This game gets compared to that a lot whenever you go into the zone in destiny
the entire zone is full of activity from the starts things are happening npcs are holding up
locations there are packs, it feels dynamic.
Like this is cool.
...roaming around.
You got public events constantly going off and then if a player starts the mission equivalent in Destiny
if a player starts a patrol in Destiny
that then adds another
layer on top of what
already feels like a vibrant lived-in
world. Recommendation for the First Ascendant?
Populate the world. Fill it with stuff
beyond what happens when
someone begins a mission. Also I would say
visually I thought 100% true
like the best thing that First Descendant
has is roaming
packs of four non-elite mobs.
And then you kill them
and they don't drop anything.
That's their open world.
It's bad.
The play space in the...
Here is the thing, this game isn't Destiny it's First Ascendant. Really? So you are saying that they're not
the same game? Thanks! I don't think we knew that
so yeah, that insight
really changes the way that we're going to look at things
Thank you very much
Specifically I'm talking about the amounts
and the density of things in the environment. Things like foliage
and trees and buildings. It just all
feels a little light, and also the scaling's
a little weird. It kind of makes the game feel
uh...a little dated, despite the fact
that it does graphically look pretty good. Recommendation
here, fill the play space so it feels
less like a diorama and more
like a living video game world that
we're moving through. My second major problem with
the game right now has been the quest design is just straight up boring.
I'm really sp-
What do you mean?
You don't like doing the same quests for the entire game?
There's, like, seven different quests that are in the game
And you just do those seven
quests in different areas
I don't know if I can
go this far, can I go this far
Can I say that New World had more
diversity in quest design?
Can I say that?
I feel like it's
not too far away.
Maybe not, but it's close.
Specifically honing in on the pacing here
So as you play through the game like I mentioned
You're moving through zones going from one quest marker to another
You complete them all
You do a little dungeon
and then you move on to the next zone
maybe you gotta go back to town but that's the general
flow. Every quest you do
no matter the zone that you're in it's all like
the same four things. They're either saying kill things, defend a location
collect stuff and bring it back
or capture a location static or moving
every single question of the game
every single zone boils down to these
four things. Now this is pretty standard stuff right this isn't unique
to the first descendant most mmos most looter shooters quests boil down to those four basic
things my biggest issue is the pacing is very, very bad.
It's too slow while you're playing
for starters
everything dies
incredibly fast
as you're going
through that
initial progression
this changes
as you move
into the harder modes
and as you play
higher level
This guy was
such a fucking dick sucker, I hated this piece of shit.
I was here for like 30 minutes...
Oh my god!
Like, I really hope he brings up the boss design.
These balls, bro,
the game would be instantly better
if they just took away
every instance of the balls.
Because there's three different versions, right?
There's kill all of the balls
at the same time. Kill the balls
in the order that they spawned.
Or kill the balls and there's a rotating
immunity barrier for the balls.
It's too many fucking balls.
The mechanic sucks.
Get rid of it.
It's a thousand times better
whenever the boss does the next phase
and he summons a bunch of adds, you have to kill all the adds before
you can damage the boss. That's fun! The balls are not fun.
Like the Horde mode missions things aren't dying very quickly but as you're going through the zones there's just
so much downtime. You're
killing things instantly and there's so much
downtime between respawns, between
timers counting down, between things moving
The results of which frankly was just unengaging
and a lot of time just standing around
feeling pretty bored because there wasn't
anything to do. We were just waiting for a timer
to take down. A group of enemies would show up
we would one shot them like in less than five seconds
and then we'd be standing there waiting another 20
or 30 seconds for respawn.
I think the reason why that happens is because
the quests are being designed for one person
but up to four people can do them. Because whenever
I played solo, I almost never
had a ton of downtime.
So my recommendation
here would be to up the pacing
of enemy spawns. I think that would go a long way you don't even have to make
like enemies way harder while we're leveling up i understand like leveling is face roll in a lot
and i don't think there should be dynamic scaling, by the way.
The process...the hard part doesn't come to endgame
If you want to keep a face roll fine but like
increase the density of monsters or
frequency of spawns or something so
we're just spending less time standing there
staring around in space.
So scale it to the number of players?
No, they should do no scaling at all.
It's cheesy.
It's cheesy gameplay and it makes
it to where like,
adding in scaling or multipliers
when you have other people in the group
what that does is it teaches you to resent
the other people you're playing with.
It just really made it unengaging, and along those same lines
the boss design everywhere outside of
those void intercept battles which I think are
good, the boss design everywhere else
is really bad. I'd like to introduce you
to the first Descendants boss design
philosophy. We call it
the Three Orbs Philosophy. Take any
boss, doesn't matter what its faction
is, how it looks, what sort of weapons or skill it has.
Take that boss, break his health bar into three to four sections
and then make them invulnerable every time players
break through one of those sections
until they destroy the three floating orbs
either destroy them outright or destroy them in a
particular order or destroy them all at the same time three orbs and there's no by the way there's
no intuitive explanation that that's what's happening.
Like, now that I've played the game
for a long time,
I understand
that's what to do
but for a new player
that's not really explained.
It's not...
You can't intuit that.
And even if you can,
If there's one person in your group that can't,
They're going to fuck up the entire group.
And whenever you create pug systems
and then you add in points
of failure that one person can trigger,
you are creating a recipe
for frustration.
That's it. It's just fucking annoying
the three orbs is so shit
they're all shit
if they took the balls out of
the game, the game would instantly
be better
straight up the game would instantly be better.
Straight up, it would instantly be better. Also,
I will even go farther. All of the
boss fights are also formulaic.
Every boss fight damage the boss kill the ads deal with
the immunity phase mechanic kill the boss kill the ads deal with
the immunity phase mechanic. It's the exact same.
Invulnerable
boss, kill those orbs, done.
90% of the boss encounters
in a game like I couldn't believe
it after my 100th boss, of seeing this exact mechanic
I was like you gotta be kidding me!
Three orbs that's their design philosophy outside the Void intercept battles
because those are really...
No, no, no.
Later on in the game you get up to
hey guys, get this
five orbs
They're really cool.
My next big thing, and this is a real sticking point here
Is that it's just so blatantly obvious
And this is the case in a lot of grind games
But it feels especially so here. Progression
is just clearly artificially stretched out
to try to push us towards the cash shop. There's no
doubt here with things like the 24-hour
build timers. Gee, I would like to skip
those. Oh, I can buy doing that? Great! Or the
fact that you've got a lot of those enhancement
materials that you really need for progression,
the activators and exchangers and more
or you get the 1-3% drop rates
when trying to farm the materials needed for this stuff i don't have
that i don't have a problem with one to three percent drop rates and i don't really care
a lot about this to be honest with you because the game is free if the game wasn't free i would
complain about it. But overall,
I don't really think it's that bad but it's not good either
Which can take players...I've seen people saying upwards of 100 or so hours
I don't have a lot of feedback for this part of the thing, this artificial
inflation of progression pushing you
towards demonetization. Don't really have feedback here
because let's be honest, this is all done
on purpose. This is the repetitive
nature of especially free-to-play games,
especially free-to-play MMO lights or MMOs.
Games are made worse to sell you a solution, right?
You've heard that time and time again.
That's fucking right!
They shit on you so you buy an umbrella.
That is absolutely the case here and that leads me to
the final thing I want to talk about,
monetization. Now, I'm not going to run through
all of the numbers. Plenty of people have already done
that. Let me just put it this way. It's like they
took inspiration from Warframe.
You hear people saying, it's just like Warframe, it's just like Warframe.
No. It's like they took the inspiration from Warframe
in terms of how they're monetizing the different
aspects of the customization progression.
Like yes, there's very... Which to be fair
everything that I've heard about fans of warframe is that the monetization in
that game is problematic in some cases but it is genuinely ex genu generally excuse me
generally accepted there are a lot of similarities, direct parallels
you can draw between Warframe and The First Ascendant
but it's like they said, okay we'll take that baseline
how can we make this worse
while simultaneously making
more money? That right there pretty much covers
exactly how they've monetized this game.
Here's some examples, right? Buying Descendants
requires you purchasing two bundles
of premium currency because the
Descendants cost slightly more than what a single bundle of premium currency gives you.
This is a tried and true-
Is this ever happened before?
Really?!
No way!...anti-consumer
premium currency conversion tactic.
You sell bundles that reward
barely less than what it is you know
people are gonna want to buy. It's scummy, it's always scummy
it's scummy here as well. Or you got the
armor dies that are single use like at least
in Warframe when you purchase a color
palette. Why- New World
did this same fucking shit.
Why the fuck would you make a die single use?
What a bunch of garbage!
You can use it as much as you like, whenever however many frames
That's trash!
you're trying to customize.
But in this game,
you buy one die, you customize one part
the die is gone.
You lost it. The paint can ran out just like that.
Then there's just the fact that aspects of the grind itself
put even Warframe to shame, at least for certain
things and I think the big one that a lot of people
you've seen pointing out is the fact that ultimate
characters require you to farm missions
with 3% drop reward chances for the part that you want
in order for you to even be able to make that ultimate character.
If you're not familiar...
Opinion?
I don't think that's a problem.
I think it's a problem if you can pay to skip
it, though.
If you couldn't pay to skip that
and you had to sit through it and farm
the 3%, hey man, like listen,
like, if I... How many mounts do I have in WoW? Listen, how many
mounts do I have in WoW?
I hear 3%,
and I'm like, oh okay, that's easy.
That's pretty good.
Because that's how much plates and
palladium, I think
it was called in Monster Hunter
for a lot of rare materials
3%? It's like oh yeah just do that maybe
10 times 20 times maybe. Maybe get it.
Yeah, it's nothing.
Warframe or The First Descendants. Both
games have versions of the
characters, the playable classes that are just
like... There's the base version and then the ultimate version
which is just a better iteration of
that. So people want the ultimate one because
it's the base one but just better flat
out. Oh oh oh by the way somebody
brings up a good point Nexon 3% I know what up a good point. Nexon 3%.
I know what you're talking about.
Nexon lost a lawsuit for artificially reducing drop rates
for things in order to get people to spend more money.
So kind of ironic, right?
If you're trying to farm that for free That's very cute!
You're repeating missions over and over again with as low
as a 3% drop rate.
Let me just tell ya, that's very low.
Or there is the doubling your mod capacity and this is one of
the biggest sources of power in both
games, in Warframe and in The First Descendant
However, in First Descendant, the equivalent
of the Warframe version, it's
20 times more expensive. Real world money only by the way for doing this, it's 20 times more expensive.
Real world money only by the way for doing this.
That's the only way you can double your mod capacity.
Also one big note in a mission that hasn't been... You receive a few of them from playing the game.
I think two of them
but other than that yes that's true included in a lot of this conversation
is the fact that warframe allows for trading so you can get these things that
cost premium currency yeah into Warframe by trading with other
players. No such thing exists
in the First Ascendant. People will often reference
the fact that Nexon has promised they will eventually
look at possibly adding
trading in the future.
They should have trading, 100's not a question every game should have trading if you think that pay to win is an issue or like people
like rmt as an issue then get rid of your store don't care don't pretend
like you care about the integrity of the game oh we
don't want people uh buying and selling things in the game you're the one that doing it's doing it
yes let people trade whatever they want with no restrictions.
That's my perspective.
Exactly be completely putting our trust in Nexon
for a reason we'll get to right here. In general,
the game's monetization model revolves around
having, like I said, really long grinds
for stuff that you are likely
to want and then selling you the means
of skipping that grind conveniently in the cash shop
with a low percent chance for drop rate just being one example,
one means of doing that.
And that's also if you can even trust Nexon's stated drop rates hint.
Here we go. here we go.
Here we go.
He knows about it.
You can't or you shouldn't
put full confidence in it
because I'd like to remind you
if you were unaware as well
a mere six months ago
Nexon was fined $9 million
by the Korean FTC. Why?
Well, because after an investigation, it
was revealed that Nexon was essentially
scamming customers for over a decade.
So, it's been known for a while by the way,
I don't think that they should...I think FTC should have given Nexon
$9 million because if you're still playing MapleStory
this year, I think you deserve it
you deserve it that's what you get by people who play their games
then exxon has some of the worst monetization.
Some of the most anti-consumer
monetization practices in the industry.
Nexon Games have been known for...
Nexon even has patents
for bad monetization.
Like they are really... patents for bad monetization. Like,
they are really...
They are innovators in the space
for that.
It's not unheard of prior
to this whole $9 million fine debacle.
But, this story was on a whole another level.
So the TLDR of the situation is this.
Nexon sold in MapleStory what are essentially loot boxes
that reward players as powerful stat boosts.
So you would purchase and open these items called cubes,
And when you opened it, you'd get a random chance
and rewarded...
I had a girl that uh she spent over $10,000 on this game
but it was just on the fucking cosmetics
mainly
crazy
multiple boost in power for your
character well there was a particular combination
of outcomes that most players wanted from these cubes.
Basically it's a really strong boost that pretty much benefited everybody.
It's a lot of the reason is what fueled a lot of these cube purchases.
People wanted this one particular outcome for a powerful
stat boost for their character it turns out in their investigation the korean
ftc learned that for a time over the course of a decade that reward that
people were essentially gambling on to get,
that was never possible.
The thing that many people wanted,
that most powerful outcome of these cubes
could never be obtained.
You could buy a billion cubes
and within this window of time, the probability
of getting it was... That sounds like a
bug to be fair. I think so.
Actually zero. That is crazy. There's no way.
That is exactly why they got fined
$9 million or the equivalent of $9 million because
this was in Korea. Also, if you're curious, none
of that money went back to the customers by the way
Wow, what a surprise
For 10 years? No, I mean, was it happening for
10 years straight or did it just happen within a period of 10 years?
That sounds crazy.
It's not
a bug?
I don't know. Hey, listen.
Even if this didn't happen
I still wouldn't completely trust them.
It just sounds so outrageous
they would even do that.
And you know, hey, it's a free-to-play game.
You gotta make money somehow, of course.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be charging
money for anything in this game, right?
I don't expect games to just be free. In fact,
my dream world is that free-to-play model
vanishes and we go back to Vox
prices and we get rid of all this other
garbage that's been pulled from the games, stripped
from the games, these games being made worse for them to sell
us the solution. That would be my dream,
that dream ain't ever happening because I'm not delusional
I understand we're not going back to that
I also understand lowering the barrier
entry and free-to-play it is a
boon for a lot of people and it brings a lot more players to the
game. It certainly
has more people playing the game than would otherwise
whatever the reason, right? A free-to-play
game means more access for more people
for the game and that is a good thing, but I will say
there are ways of doing free-to-play monetization
and not having it feel like you're
making the base game demonstrably worse
to try to shove me into the cash shop.
As I said, it's really like to me,
it seems like they took
the base structure.
They took the idea
of how Warframe monetizes their game
and they just said,
how can we make this even worse
and make more money off these people?
Couple that with Nexon just being fresh
off of getting the largest fine that the Korean
FTC has ever given out in their
whole history because...
It sounds like they gotta up those numbers, I bet they made
way more than 9 million dollars from this up that's crazy
you first should find them 90 million as they were scamming customers out of money basically
that leaves my trust in the company doing the right thing
any of their decisions and how they're designing
and monetizing this game
and tying the design of the game
into the monetization
my trust of them doing that by the books,
it ain't very high. It was only
six months ago they got fined
$9 million. Not super confident
that they're
doing fine by it?
Well, I've changed!
Yes right and that
they got our best interest in mind.
Who knows?
Not that any games company does,
right but look with all of
that said,
I have no doubts
there are people enjoying
this game right now
and they will be in the future. I'm one of them. It's just not
me, like for all the things that I do like
Yeah, I'm one of them. I'm playing this game right now
I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I finished
the campaign, I hit max level
I'm thinking about prestiging my character.
I've leveled up my weapon.
I got my level 100 weapon, legendary weapon.
I'm going to probably try to get legendary armor today.
Yeah, I've been playing it a lot.
But these problems that he's bringing up are legitimate.
They are real.
Shroud?
Yeah, I've been watching Shroud playing it.
How about the game?
And that was a long list.
That was probably like a third of what this whole video runtime is going to be.
I do like things about this,
but I dislike just enough that right now
I've got zero motivation to keep playing
and that's not what I was hoping for this week.
I know people say you're just a rage baiter YouTuber.
You're just being contrary. You're just being contrary,
you're just trying to be negative,
you're just trying to hate.
Look at my channel,
I tell ya,
I love and want nothing more
than to just be gushing about games
and as I mentioned,
I love this genre. There are
a lot of what I would consider
or what people probably
consider bad games. Games
like Outriders, games like Defiance
games like Firefall. Maybe a lot of you haven't even heard
of those games right? But I enjoyed them.
And I was kinda hoping that this was gonna be it
despite the Nexon tie-in
I was hoping that this game was going to do it. But it just...
We good now, right?
Sorry about that.
Had a little hiccup there.
Okay, and I was kind of hoping this would be it despite the Nexon tie-in
I was hoping this game was going to do it but it just really hasn't
It really hasn't. I felt bored after just a couple of days.
I felt that way
after a couple of days in the beta
and then the second beta test
that I played
and now it launched,
it's the same thing
and really ultimately
I think that problem boils down
to the poor pacing of the quest design and the game's world.
And that's all beyond the microtransaction discussion.
Honestly, the game just feels like a worse version of Warframe Division or Destiny.
Like a lot of games developed...
Makes me pretty excited to play Destiny.
I hear that because I've enjoyed this game.
That's fucking great.
That's cool.
I'm glad.
Yeah, I've been having fun playing this.
By Nexon, it's not the worst out there but it's also far from the best.
Often times what they do is make games that are just good enough to get people in the
door and then hook them up on some sort of progression loop and then do everything in
their power to get
them swiping. But hey, I get it! It's a free game if you want to check it out by all means
If you like grinding games... And you can play it for free to play! This is one that
you can play and you can grind and i I'm all for that. I play
ARP.
Based off of my limited understanding
of the game, I think this
game punishes
you less than
like
a gotcha game
for not paying to win.
I feel like
you miss out on
less PG's i feel like you you miss out on less pgs i play animals i like this genre generally except for
this limited perspective i get it and there's something to there being a new thing for people
to check out and that in itself can be valuable
to people. But I'll also say
there are better grinding games that you could play
and that I think it would be just
time better
spent. I'm going to keep my eye on this one, right?
This one could get better and I get why people like it
but right now, nah, it's not for me.
I've spent more than enough of my time with this game already.
I am all done.
Yeah, he played it a lot in the beta. That is all for today.
Thank you as always for watching. Hope
you enjoyed the video. See
you guys next time. Well
here's the truth. I've been
playing the game a lot myself. I've really enjoyed it. I've been playing the game a lot myself.
I've really enjoyed it.
I've enjoyed it pretty much
the whole time that
I've been playing it.
There's the video right there,
make sure to give it a like.
Obviously,
I think that his criticisms
and everything
are incredibly valid. They are extremely
valid, but I am still enjoying the game at this
current point in time. Whenever i hit that wall,
that honeymoon phase wears off, I'll talk about it.
He's played the game
more than I have
because he played
the beta
and everything like
that
and both of
the closed beta
tests,
et cetera.
I didn't...
I did that just
for one or a day and a half
right? So he's
probably more burnt on it than I have. He's played it
more but for me
I'm still enjoying it. I hope I
keep enjoying it. I've gotten into hard mode now,
I've been playing it more and
I just hope that uh
I hope it stays fun man
I do so yeah
And I think all all of these criticisms...
If you're enjoying the game, don't take this personally.
I think everything he's saying is right.
He's right about everything that he's saying.
But I can still enjoy the game and find it fun.
And you know what's really great about this? Is that tomorrow
Once Human is coming out, and it won't
even fucking matter because I think Once Human
is going to be better than The First Descendant
I think it will be now.
I,
I'm a fucking loser.
So I'm just going to play both of
the games.
So it's not a big deal,
but yeah,
tomorrow is going to be huge.
I have to do my podcast today.
I'm already,
you know,
uh,
you know,
on the edge of being late,
so I'm going to link you guys a video.
Make sure to give it a like. I watch a lot of Forces videos.
So yeah,
I will be back on tomorrow.
Tomorrow is going to be a really big day.
Once Human comes out, I think it
comes out at 4 or something like that?
I'm gonna play it all day.
Play it all day as much as I can.
And we're gonna go hard on it, and we're going to make
a hive. That's what guilds are called in there.
And we're going to have some fun, man.
Is once human free? I don't know if it is, but
if it's not, it's worth the money unless it's like $70
right then maybe wait for a sale but if it's not
like a triple-a price and yeah it's it's a good fun game
it is free yeah and there was no pay to win inside of
the iterations that were in the uh the beta test right so we'll hopefully see that that won't
happen i don't know but there were some issues that seemed very very specific right so yes guys
uh thank you all very much for watching i really appreciate it
uh i'll be back on tomorrow sorry for shorter stream had a lot going on and
mondays are very busy for me so yeah i'll see you guys tomorrow all right boys peace
