A little bit.
We gonna do a little bit of it.
There's a new game that came out.
Let's see how I find it, pull up T,
Throne and Liberty. Yeah
Where is that? The
Throne and Liberty Open Beta
The Throne and Liberty Open Beta begins today.
So yeah, we're gonna play that in a bit. Play WoW?
Man I really can't think of anything I wanna do less than that.
You know? You see a Trump shooter was
wanted to target Biden as well.
I'm not surprised.
Yeah, of course.
What a fucking surprise there's plenty of crazy people out there right? What do you expect but that's just how it is for
real I wouldn't be surprised yeah Hulk Hogan is gonna speak at the RNC?
Man!
Man!
Yeah, man, that's. Hell yeah brother! Yep absolutely.
You see it? Trump is the one uh...uh..that shot the assassin. I don't know about that.
What does this guy been thinking? It's a certified one way trip?
They're crazy! You can't-here's the guy been thinking? It's a certified one-way trip. They're crazy.
You can't... Here's the thing.
You can't figure out why a crazy person thinks something because they're crazy.
You can't reverse engineer thinking of a person that doesn't think the way you do.
Because you can't figure out why they do things.
I don't think you're going to be able to figure out, oh yeah they did it for this reason
or that reason.
He's crazy!
Like you gotta think like...
They're crazy!
You can't plan on crazy people, man. You can't do anything
about that. So yeah.
If we watch purely live stream? Uh...
Maybe. We'll see what happens. I don't want to have
100 people messaging me about it so stop talking
about it right now. But yeah, five Just Stop Oil protesters who closed freeway in London
jailed for four to five years each?
Nah, nah bro where you read that?
Where do you read that?
Where do you read that I wanna see it.
Nah nah nah I wanna see it.
Cause thats like bro like...
Ooooooooh, I want to...
Where it at?
Yeah, give me a minute.
You have plans
to shoot Trump and then go shoot Biden
in the DNC? So he thought he was gonna just go and pop one off,
and then the other is just going to be lunch. It's gonna be just like that,
you know make it home! You know? In time for uh... To play Minecraft at night? Like what- really?
This guy thinks he's a fucking
anime character. Yeah,
with a beast. I know!
Oh my god. Um, yeah, that's crazy.
Okay, let me see if I can find this.
Okay.
BBC Co UK.
I want to see this.
Just stop oil protesters jailed.
Let me see if i can find this.
Oh my god. Oh man, oh what a good day!
What a good day! Let's take a look at this.
I think
This is amazing
Did you have steak today? No, I haven't
It's probably not going to be until later on
It's true some of them got jailed while
Some of them releasing the prisoners out early oh yeah no doubt there's going to be a
lot of that i mean i think this is a very very very good thing by the way uh i've said
this before is that the reason why these people do excuse me are the reason why
these people do this is because they think
can get away with it but that's the reason it's not because they believe in
it or anything else ah it's just conspicuous posturing
in order to probably, like
I don't know, I've always thought that Just Stop
Oil was like a
false flag by like Exxon
and Shell in order to make the protesters look
ridiculous. To be honest with you,
I genuinely think that this is possible
because of just how obnoxious
and stupid they are.
Five environmental activists who organized protests that brought part of M25. I'm going to assume M is like motorcade, motorway, highway 25? Is this probably right? I don't live there i'm guessing uh motorway yeah okay um
so yeah uh ford 45 just stop little protesters climbed gantries on motorway, forcing police to stop the traffic in an attempt to cause gridlock.
Judge Christopher Hare said all of these guys had crossed a line from concerned campaigner to fanatic.
At Southwark Crown Court, Howam was sentenced to five years imprisonment
while the other defendants each received... five years imprisonment,
while the other defendants each received four
year jail terms.
That's right
you little bitch.
You know what my favorite part about
this? Is they look exact
like if you had an AI
it's like, AI
generate sanctimonious
annoying smelly anti-oil
climate change protester.
And it's like okay click
bop there it is.
It's right there
in front of everybody.
They're vegan, they look hungry? Yeah
I know. Maybe they should eat
the oil and then they can solve
two problems at a time.
Yeah, do they look AI generated they do oh my God so yes you
know what I think is going to happen now I bet less people are going to get on
the freeway. I do,
I think less people
are going to be getting
on that freeway
you know what
but I think
it's not going
to happen so much
because they went
and they go into jail
for five five years four
years that's a long time you
around and you find out
And that's the way it is this is the reason
why we have the justice system
and isn't it a beautiful thing this is what happens see this is the
best thing about it is when somebody does something stupid and we get to collectively
ruin their life over it and it's's great, and it's completely legal
that's why it's there.
How fucking amazing. Yeah was
the worst last year? Yeah it was.
And now their life is totally
fucking ruined. And that's what you get, because
you wanted to be fucking annoying.
And that's what you get. Sometimes the UK
ain't so bad? Exactly.
That's great, man.
Easy bozo? Yeah, rip Bozo life ruined? Absolutely!
I just got Fell Striker and saw it. Is that even good anymore?
I don't know if it is. Congrats.
Ruined their life? What life? They have no life?
Well they certainly don't now.
Yeah didn't someone just shoot a Just Stop Oil protester?
Well here's the thing right is that when people know
there will be legitimate and genuine consequences
for these people who are committing crimes
They won't feel the need to shoot
them or run over because they know this person will get what's coming to them.
That is the reason and isn't that a beautiful thing?
Do you think their cause is right but doing it wrong?
I support anybody's right to protest anything they want to.
So whether its just stop oil,
somebody wants to protest,
you know, you could be
I believe like the KKK
can protest. I believe they can. They have a
freedom of speech. This is the u k so they don't
have it the same way that we do
but this is my viewpoint
are there every right to protest samus and tifa does same as uh...
you know anybody like that Any of these crazy people.
Protest protesters? Yeah they do!
They won't be vegan anymore...
Eating horrible prison food and all? Oh you're right, man.
That's good. The thing is what is their cause? I think they
just don't like cars
that are driving around because they
think that they're damaging but yeah
What a great way to start the day. What an amazing way to start the day.
Are you playing Throne of Liberty? I absolutely am that's why it didn't title. Absolutely.
Did you see the protesters in spraying a tourist with water and then
telling them to go home no i didn't see that that's pretty funny though now i didn't see it at
all i never thought about this what happens to vegans in prison? I wonder. But yeah, I mean, hey
there it is
all's well that ends well
as far as I see, I think they're just anarchists
Well, here's the thing
It doesn't really matter what the reason is for it or anything else. The only thing that really matters about this is that people think they have a just cause enough to break the law and damage other people's lives, property or time.
Those people need to be held accountable for that because it's a degree of sanctimoniousness
It's a degree of entitlement and narcissism that makes society completely unsustainable.
If you had people that always thought they had the right to do that,
society literally could not function.
So you have to hold these people
accountable or nothing works
and everything falls apart.
I do think they're made an example of
course, and that's a good thing!
Yes, that works!
100%. So yeah,
stick with throwing paint in the corporation's building?
Yeah, if you want to complain
at the corporation, if you want to push for political
change, that's fine but when you destroy property and you get in the
middle of highways honestly every time one of those people gets in the middle of the highway
somebody runs them over i'm like ah man jeez i guess that must be natural selection.
Oh boy!
Ooh!
Ooh, what was he doing in the road though?
You know?
Yeah, wait a minute Sky, exactly.
Yeah, absolutely bro absolutely bro like I have
no sympathy for those people. That's what you
get.
Do they have the right to protest? They do!
And I think that is a great thing it's on
liberty in four minutes i'm not gonna play it as soon as it comes out and
play it later on but yeah what are some more effective
ways of being heard i don't know that's up to them to figure
out it's not my responsibility just because you don't know that's up to them to figure out it's not my responsibility just because you
don't think the way for you to be heard is so just because you don't think it's good enough
doesn't mean you just get to ignore the rules. That's it and if you think that is the case, yeah
not by blocking traffic, not by breaking the law
You can do whatever you want to do but don't break the law
and don't harass people. It's simple and if you need to do that in order to protest then that is totally fine
but we're going to have to...
This is my dad calling me.
Hello?
Yeah Yeah.
Oh, really? Is it working?
Oh thank god. Yeah.
Okay okay. Alright yeah thanks I'll talk to you later I'm gonna get back to it.
Okay. I'll talk to you later. I'm going to get back to it. Okay, yeah of course.
Alright alright, yo I'll talk to you later. My dad's been having internet problems
and yesterday I was able to go over there
and I got really lucky, right?
I did the actual unironic turn it on and turn it back off
turned off then turn back on again it works so he was telling me the
internet on his house is working yeah yeah so thank god
right yeah that's good well I was doing it last night
Do you think protesting is effective or
Is the awareness of an event that does the heavy lifting
I think its the message
Of the event itself. I think that some
Messages are just simply not like...
So for example,
I think also you can put a message out there
that's counterproductive.
I think these people their message is counterproductive
What they're doing and what they're promoting and the way
that they do it actually makes people
like... I'm not the only
person who I see this
and the first thing I think is like,
oh wow.
I want to,
now I'm going to buy three cars.
You know,
now I want to burn a tire out in my backyard.
Like I hate these people.
And you know,
it's like, you almost want to do things in order to spite them.
And so yeah, they're little shitters, right?
And that's basically the way I see it.
Do you feel the best way to change culture is to write good stories, protesting is a bad story?
I think protesting is a great story but it depends on how you do it. There are some good stories and some bad stories right?
I mean historically you can see that.
So yeah, make sure not to cut down
on Trini. Exactly.
Yeah, I want to make them protest more. Yeah, exactly.
Fuck them because they're annoying.
I think that also a lot of times people are
like, well there's no effective way for us to protest
we don't think that this is an effective way
but the world doesn't owe you
an effective way to protest in
a way that is damaging to other people like nobody owes
that to you and i think that's really what the
difference is right is that these people are just massively entitled
more than anything else
crazy crazy entitlement.
Will global temperature make them happy? I don't know.
Hopefully the one in prison.
Let's see here...
What is this? see here holy giga chad man goes full primal mode to protect him and his wife what's this so uh Jesus, he mad.
He's mad, man.
He's got it right yeah god damn
look at this moose calf yeah i mean a real moose would be the size of that fucking tree man yeah absolutely uh bro music was good yeah it was holy Yeah, absolutely.
Bro, music was good?
Yeah, it was. Holy shit, man.
And also here's a thing people might not really recognize
because why would you know this?
Have you ever noticed how things... would you know this? Have
you ever noticed how things catch
your eye from the corner of your eye
and it's like you see something
that you would have never really noticed but it just happens
and you see it immediately?
Have you ever seen cats whenever they fight each other they look at each other like this
yeah so the movie Yeah. So the moose is doing the same thing, uh...
The sides of your eyes are trained to
see and process movement faster than the front of your eyes.
And I've had this happen a lot, like,
I can see a Discord notification from the side of my uh,
from the side of fucking screen.
I can immediately see it.
I don't have to look at it.
So that's why the animal is looking that way right?
Demonstration please yeah!
It's crazy a lot of people don't know that right?
It's-it's a weird...
It's a weird evolution and everything.
So yeah.
Stronger peripherals? Yeah I know.
Probably because more of the eyes are on the side
of his head. Well it's also because
of that too.
It's probably both but predatory and prey eyes are different.
That's actually true but I think our eyes
and cats are the same way.
I don't know about a moose. You know,
I'm actually not sure about that but
I think with a lot of animals that is
the reason why. Evolution as a hoax? Yeah
it was a hoax that was invented by
Satanists in order to make us not believe in Jesus.
That's very true.
Anyway, let's go to the next one.
Apex reviews became overwhelmingly negative after the recent changes
to the Battle Pass.
What were the changes?
What's this what they do uh for people don't know apparently
battlepass is split into two per season it means players have to spend double
the amount of what they used to in order to spend
or they can't buy the new battle pass with
apex's coins oh and they can't buy the
new battle pass with apex's coins
anymore only real cash yeah the odds are
is that apex has kind of probably run
its course uh you know that the game is probably in like
more of a decline now than it was the people have developed i've realized that and they're
trying to cash out on it uh that's just how it is. I mean, again,
I remember when Apex came out.
It was amazing!
Bro, it was THE game.
Because PUBG came out
and it had a great vibe to it. But it played like
trash. And Fortnite was like
a kid's game. It didn't have that same
first-person shooter
high quality vibe.
But then Apex comes out and it's just fucking perfect.
It was such a good game for its time. I remember watching Shroud and Ninja play
Apex every single day. Dude, I played Apex every single day. It was so
fucking fun man. So I don't know
what happened to the game. I haven't played it
ever since um...
I remember when I played it The Wingman and
The Peacekeeper which is the shotgun with the two main guns.
And a lot of people
would use those. So that's how long ago
I played. It was a very, very
long time ago. The esports at Apex was so
intense and fun watching. I still have fun watching the esports of it.
It's a great game, but
I just feel like obviously people have moved on.
It's the same thing as Warzone, I think too.
So yeah.
Hmm. But yeah.
The movement in the game was awesome, impressive. It was based on Source Engine.
The game just did so many things extremely well.
Like, it was...
I don't think people realized how much of a...
How much of a jump Apex was from like the other games, right? Because the only other game in the Kraber meta...
Well, back in the day, you couldn't
even get Krabers in base game.
You had to get them from crates.
So really, I would end
up using the triple take. I like that the most as a shotgun because it hitscan in the way Longbow didn't.
So yeah, I liked it a lot more.
No fall damage?
Yeah, yeah.
Now its trash?
Yeah but that was a long time ago.
Fuck the content this is peak Asmod in terms of looks?
You think so? I mean, I don't know...
Like, I feel like I look just as much of an alien, weird fucking guy. I don't think I look
any better now or really that much
worse. I think I'm basically the fucking
same to be honest with you.
This is from like what? Five, six years ago? Something like
that? Yeah, you look way healthier now?
Well I don't know. I mean it depends
but uh... That pic is so good. Well I'm
glad people like it! So
yeah, I just again, I think I look like shit in this photo the same as every other photo.
I don't take pictures of myself.
I stream right? I do that but in terms of myself no I never take pictures of myself or anything
like that. Absolutely not.
So yeah, cut the bullshit? No, you look good?
I don't think so. I think I look terrible.
I've always disliked the way that I look and
you know... You read comments about me I
think there's a lot of people that agree with me so yeah there it is
have you ever considered shaving the beard no I haven't um I don't have a jaw like I used to
have a defined Jawline I don't I don't anymore because I don't have a jaw... Like, I used to have a defined jawline.
I don't anymore
because I don't
have any back teeth
and so I can't...
Like,
there's no muscles
in my back jaw
and so,
no,
I'm not going
to shave my beard.
Well,
I might do it
one time
just to show people,
right?
Maybe.
But yeah,
there's a reason why
I don't do that.
Because the jet...
Yeah.
That's a...
Are there any pictures of you
without a beard?
Yeah,
of course.
Yeah,
absolutely.
Like your skin and have jawline no
no i actually i don't um i used to but
um it's horrifying thing to imagine who
cares that's just how it is
but like yeah that's generally the way i say can't see
them uh let me see um i think i can find
a couple of pictures right
um
let me think.
Yeah, I mean there's got to be like videos of
me on YouTube and stuff like that.
Yeah, you can probably just go back in the
what do you call it?
In my channel and find that.
So yeah, Asmunds editor since I'm still some beardless? Well,
that's AI, right? That's not really
the same thing. But yeah.
I got money to change the way you look
why not do that? Because it won't matter. People that try to change the way you look why not do that because it won't matter
um people that try to change the way they
look never succeed uh almost never uh the truth is that
um i think that you can't do certain things to change the way it is.
And like, I see people who try and change the way they look
and its always worse than whenever they started
So no, I don't think so at all
Yeah bad idea, Have you never satisfied?
No! It's always a downgrade.
You can't really change the way
you look. Uh...you can do a couple of things
but that's about it and uh
if you've got a bad canvas, you're gonna draw a bad picture. That's all there is to it.
Court documents not only evolve a fraction of the size of companies like EA or Ubisoft
It's smaller than a lot of AAA developers. Yeah don't they have like only 133 employees
or something like that?
336. Those are three somewhere.
yeah, this is
a lot of extremely good companies.
There are always like companies that I think
are very good and very well run
or extremely lean
And I've almost begun to notice
that the more people a company hires,
The worse the company becomes.
Maybe I'm crazy for saying that but I certainly feel like that's what's happening.
Yeah only 300?
Small company? Yeah, I mean comparatively
it's very small to a lot of other places.
Absolutely it is.
So yeah.
About teeth in the back, can you not fix them? No, I can't.
The reason why I can't fix the teeth on my back is that after
you have your teeth taken out for long enough, your jaw will contract
and so I couldn't even fit teeth in my
mouth back there if i wanted to because
there's just no space for it that's bone loss
so yeah it's already happened and so, and like whenever it first
started happening I couldn't afford to get it fixed
So its like there's no
recovering yet, it's not going to get better
Can you get a bone graft surgery? No because
your jaw itself. I talked to a dentist about
that and that's what they told me. So yeah, on transplantation is the
thing man. That's for building up the bone density for getting an
implant. That's different.
I actually have to talk to them about that too, but no, that's not it.
Didn't know that could happen? Yeah, it's crazy right?
I didn't either. New character stats are maxed out what's this
no oh oh
this guy bought every emote in the store.
Sir! My name is Jackson Blade Ray Carter, I am from Louisville, Kentucky and I have problems with receiving receipts for your... damn that's impressive holy Shit!
Man! man
I had a friend of mine uh the guy looked up uh... I don't remember exactly like where the name came from
Asmongold, but
I vaguely remember
he might have been
the one that gave me
the name.
Um...
I was in ROTC
and this is like the military class
in high school. And whenever I was a freshman
he was, I think, a junior or senior
He did this. i remember this shit
i remember this so well yeah new wars yeah toby man and he
joined the marines and everything yeah he's got kids now and he joined the Marines and everything. Yeah, he's got kids now
And he's doing great
So there it is
Holy shit yeah so its really cool for me to see that
It is
You're in the army? No I was an ROTC. That was it.
You know why they do these things with the guns? To train a person who's going to go into combat and have the weapon as an extension of their body so if he gets knocked out in the explosion, the weapon will remain in his hands?
Uh... that's interesting! I didn't know that No, yeah I had no idea
Let's see here
Best accessory for your Toyota
When you find a perfect access-
... find a perfect access
man you know what the thing is with this?
This is like those cannons that you get
in a video game
that don't run out of ammo.
You know what I mean? Those are the
machine guns that, like, you know, it's on
the side of something and you're supposed to shoot some
big monster and it just never
runs out of ammo. Yeah, it's anti-air
instantly gets sniped. Yeah, you're right-air. Instantly get sniped? Yeah you're right about that
But uh... That usually would happen in Halo
I remember that very well
A Taliban wants to place an order?
Exactly yeah
Who killed masculinity in video games? Ooh, actually I'm gonna watch this.
This is good. Yeah, I might not
look at it at this exact moment but I will
look at it soon. Xbox revealed
the official Deadpool trailer
controller with butt cheeks on the back.
Oh my god...
Oh my god...
That's a good one. I sure do love the double standards and objectification of men
And what is this? The Acolytes, Manigizito
brought sexy back to Star Wars.
I think baby oil goes a long way
The Sith Lord Heartthrob tells GQ
about turning the internet collective needs
into jelly. Baby Oil.
Yeah that's the reason. So
the whole reason why a lot
of women were mad about this
is because most of them were
honestly...
You can touch my activity? Yeah, no, no. This is what are the question marks? I don't get it
Oh
So basically there's a massive double standard with men sexualizing women versus women
Sexualizing them where its seen as socially acceptable for women to do it
to men but women have tried to make it not
socially acceptable for men to do with women
uh it's very fucking obnoxious it is so obnoxious to see this.
Yeah, the male gaze, there's all these different phrases for it, everything like that.
And so yeah, this won't stop too?
No, it won't.
But at the same time, you should never...
Especially if it's not even a real character.
This is like a cartoon character and people try to blame you for sexualizing the character.
Uh-huh.
Do what all you want.
It doesn't matter.
They can't stop you.
Yeah, woman this is true I agree. Yeah, it's a very, very weird double standard.
Yeah male nudity equals good female nudity equals bad. Yeah exactly! Let's see here...
I played so many JRPGs that if I walked into this room
I'd fight the Pope? Maybe take out his two healers
first? I'm gonna be honest bro
This is a fight that would have three phases.
And that statue would fucking come out in the third phase...
and it'd have like fuckin' eye beams and lasers and shit like that, bro.
Yeah this would be a bad one. This would be
the end of the DLC. You walk into
that empty room and it's like oh fuck there he is
Jesus! Gonna use resurrection?
Oh absolutely. That's the final boss exactly these resurrection all absolutely
that's a final boss exactly
block rock money well spent
both mcs are gay check tech gamers for more info
what is this assassin's creed shadows l LGBTQ, Romance confirmed by
Ubisoft. I'm not supporting
anyone but this is nothing at all.
I played an Assassin's Creed game. You should know you can choose who to romance.
Uh... You can choose a man or a woman.
I chose a woman because I ain't no gay.
If you don't play Assassin's Creed,
FYI...
Yeah,
I don't know if necessarily
this is bad or problematic.
I have no idea, right?
I mean,
it doesn't really seem like
it's a big deal
but yeah,
I mean,
a lot of games have...
You want to make the game to where
I think that you
should have the option to make the character gay
because some people
are the other gender, right?
And so they're going to want to play
and romance a character that's
someone that's attractive to them.
So it would just make sense,
right? Yeah, I mean I don't think that's a big deal, right? Yeah. I mean,
I don't think that's a big deal, right? It's a choice.
Yeah, exactly.
First cable you get? Yeah, exactly.
That's how Assassin's Creed Odyssey was?
Yeah, just let people have choices it's not a big deal
ChatGPT interacting through webcam

you take a guess at where i am
and also can you translate what i wrote
it's a bridge yes
that's the golden gate bridge so you must be in San Francisco and you wrote
Bonjour developer which means hello developers in French. Pretty cool all

Next I have this book can you take a look? Charlie Pitty what is this?
Yeah that's Poor Charlie's Almanac by Charlie Munger
It's a collection of his speeches, talks and life philosophy. Munger is known for his wisdom on investing and decision making.

It looks on this page
it looks like this page talks about coco chanel rule for success it mentions that chanel focused on identifying the qualities her
customers wanted and made sure to offer them. Essentially,
understanding your audience desires is key to success. Would you like a bit more detail from
the page? I think what's really impressive to me about this is the fact that he's using indescript
language that's what's really the most impressive is like, the this and the synopsis
part.
Like, I think it would be very easy
for somebody to be able to, you know, make
a machine that can identify
especially, like, very popular and well-known monuments
and be able to translate
language if it's on a white page.
Sure, I could see that.
I could even see being able to do this by
picture
like you just look at a picture of an being able to do this by, you know, picture...
You just look at a picture and it can run
through a Google search of pictures. All that seems
pretty reasonable. I could easily expect that
to be true. But this is crazy.
Emergency White House press conference at 2 p.m.?
Wait, what?

She's so resigned. I know.
Even a biker was angry?
Think about how fucking obnoxious you have to be
to turn cyclists against
you.
That is fucking
bad!
Even
cyclists are against you.
Why do the cars slow down? Probably cuz they it might mess up
the car if you run them over. The same as you don't wanna hit
like a deer. Yeah Yeah. Might push the car!
What do you think you're doing?
Probably five of the strongest dudes in the entire world couldn't push back against a car. It has like 700 horsepower.
Do you know how strong a fucking horse is? Think of 700 of those! What are you thinking? Are you insane?!
700. Okay, that's 70. Let's say it has 3. That's still too many.
If it says
3, it's too many.
So 15? Too many.
70? Way too many 70 way too many what's this
what happened driving to see if I was
distracted yeah Yep.
Bro, he kicked the phone out of his hand! Watch!
That was impressive!
Oh, God. shit well done
will Oh my god. Oh man, should I use oil not water?
Yeah. not water yeah i love how this guy has a skate deck but there's no wheels on it
why would you even have this with you in a...
Did he plan this?
Why would you have, like, I mean, because I...
For snow?
No.
Snowboards are way better than you just bought it? Maybe you're right.
Let's get back.
Yeah let's get back yeah
Hehehe I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. Damn you Exxon!
Why would you do this to me?
Uh-oh.
I love how every single person who's the reality check here
is a balding, middle-aged man.
It's the same thing with this one too.
Bro, like he does he just cut through it oh my god
well not stop bald yeah that's a bal well yeah, he's all the way you're right about that
I This guy's like, are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck are you doing here?
Get the fuck out.
What do you do- why are you here?! He shocked it's even real. What a fucking moron, man.
Oh, man. Oh
man, what a dumbass.
This guy's a real dumbass.
I'll tell you why. He
thinks that he can explain
to an emotionally driven,
virtue signaling,
upper middle class privileged
white girl.
He thinks that he can explain
logic to her
for why she shouldn't
go out and virtue signal
and act like a victim.
How could he possibly
think that would work?
That would never work.
And bald, yep true.
I love how, by the way
have you guys noticed that every single
one of these clips are white people
that are just inconveniencing
average everyday minorities
trying to live their lives.
You guys notice this?
Holy fuck, how annoying.
......
All white people? Yep. Guys, I'm sorry that we keep doing this.
Okay?
I'm sorr-I...
This is...
At the next white people convention
I'll try to put my, I'll try to put my voice in for not doing this anymore.
Okay? I'm sorry about this.
Yeah, I don't know why we keep doing this it's...
I know it's annoying
You know
Fuck
Pretty strong as fuck, yeah. Goddamn.
Ohp! Next!
I don't think that she's that strong.
I think she's that strong.
I think she is grabbing them by their hair and they are letting her pull them because
they don't want to pull their hair out.
I think that's actually happening.
Yeah.
Because she knows, bro. It hurts a lot?
Yeah, I bet it does. No, I love
these videos. This is some of
my favorite stuff to see.
It is so fucking obnoxious.
I absolutely hate these people.
They are the most sanctimonious, performative, annoying,
obnoxious, privileged, pieces of trash and i love seeing them get
fucked whether it's by people pushing them, hitting them, running them over
or putting them ideally
in jail which is what I think
should happen.
I fucking hate him.
That's right and I'm not sorry.
I hate people like this.
I think they're annoying.
I'm surprised nobody maced them.
It's probably illegal here because a lot of these, these I think are in Europe and in some
places that's not allowed base not sorry yeah that's just the way
I feel I hate these people this is comparable to porn no it's not
it's better this No, it's not. It's better.
It's fucking better. Absolutely. And it's
not even close either. Keep that in mind. Holy
shit. So people are talking about
there's a new Diablo 4 class reveal
real quick
okay It's a class revival?
Where it be? Oh! Oh, no, no, no. 30 minutes.
30 minutes.
I'll be there, it's going to be a one.
That's easy, I keep that in mind.
Bad news? What is this shit son let me see this real quick
and you're gonna play an XP we week maybe yeah controversial thoughts on a
controversial new Eminem album he says some insane stuff. Wow, what year is it?
What year is it?
I don't know what to say.
Yeah,
it's just funny to me
like I don't give a shit
right?
I mean like it can't be crazier than like the Kendrick Lamar Drake shit.
I mean like it's definitely not crazier than that so what am I even getting upset for?
So no, I like Eminem,
I think he's great. Now, I might not
agree with everything he says or whatever but
you know, I like his music, I grew up with him and there
it is. So yeah, YouTube
demonetized gun content? Let me see.
Hickok45 and Son here. How y'all doing?
Got some bad news today to share with you
And don't know where you're seeing this
Whether you are on the Hickok 45 clips channel and don't know where you're seeing this,
whether you're on the Hickok 45 clips channel
or the Hickok 45 main channel
or the Hickok 45 talks channel.
We are posting this on all three channels today. We just had a chat with our Google rep,
and John you wanna share?
Yeah he shared some unfortunate news with us.
Some of you may have seen that YouTube changed their policy
on gun videos in June 18th and
we were not aware how much that was going to affect
us until very recently
when we just talked with our Google rep
as dad said. And you may
notice that our videos posted since June 18th have been removed.
And the reason for that is because essentially,
the new policy that pertains to this video
and what the problem is here
is that all sponsorships from companies
that are either firearms companies or companies that deal in firearms
accessories
are a complete violation of YouTube's policies and any videos posted
with sponsorships of that kind post June 18th will make your channel subject to
being completely terminated. Strikes and termination, right?
And any video before that is subject
the video itself be terminated so prior to June 18th
the video itself was at risk post-June 18th, the video itself is at risk. Post-June 18th,
entire channel is at risk and as you know we've had sponsorships like that
almost the entire time we have been doing this so it pertains to
probably 95% of our content. So we are at the risk of losing everything and
having to almost start from scratch, you know try to be optimistic. Hopefully something can be done and we can figure out a way of course
to keep rolling. All these things that were perfectly fine for 15 15 20 years yes exactly all of a sudden are horrible
but uh make sure that you're subscribed to the channel you're watching and then also
the others the other two so Hickok45 clips, Hickok45 talks and then
the main channel. Right because it may be the only way we have to communicate with
you moving forward but we'll see what happens. We're trying
to be optimistic and we hope we can still keep giving you guys
the content that you'd like to see right because i'm still hoping for
that big movie role in hollywood i don't want to quit doing videos
that's right exactly yeah i'll get that call one day.
It's coming any day now.
So anyway thanks for watching and we will keep you apprised of the situation.
Life is good!
So...
Right. so right i don't think that it's out of the question that youtube has to do this because there's some degree of regulation in certain countries
i'm not sure if that's the reason,
If that is the reason then it is what it is right?
For sure right? It is what it is no shot
but i think that if YouTube is making this decision by themselves, they're wrong.
I do.
I don't think that YouTube should be deciding what sponsors people are allowed to have or not
allowed to have.
If people want to use
that to promote guns, or whatever,
that's fine, but
I don't think it's a big deal. need to make a statement for sure yeah exactly it's
a private company they can do whatever it's not about whether youtube can legally do this it's
about whether i think this is a good decision for YouTube
and whether I agree with the reason
why they're making that decision.
Like, of course, YouTube can do this.
Of course they can
And it's totally their right to do this however
this is another perspective that i have i think that a lot of these social media
companies enjoy privileges that are afforded to them because
they don't make arbitrary rules
because they exist as a platform and not
a publisher.
This is like Section 230
and a lot of other DMCA laws, etc.
I find it to be very problematic
that large companies
like YouTube
enjoy the privileges
that are afforded
to them by the government
while simultaneously making rules that are afforded to them by the government,
while simultaneously making rules that make people accountable for individual behaviors
that YouTube deems unacceptable
for arbitrary reasons.
There's no real reason why a gun sponsor is
a lot worse than showing somebody shooting a gun.
Like, yes obviously there's a call to action that's slightly different.
But is it different enough for me to say
that one should be on YouTube and one shouldn't?
I don't really think so.
So what my problem with this is
is not necessarily that it's happening.
It's that YouTube is having their cake and eating it too.
They are enjoying the freedoms
of a private company while
getting the privileges of the government
And I think this is a huge problem because
a lot of these companies are effectively operating as
a government themselves, and the worst part about it
is they're accountable to no one.
So I think this is a huge problem.
I do, and I think if YouTube...
And this is just like, again,
it's one point on the graph.
It's not really the whole story,
but I think that a lot of people feel the same way.
I think that if these companies want to continue making arbitrary rules like this, they should probably lose a lot of the privileges that are afforded to them by
the government.
Like, you shouldn't...
You should have one or the other.
You should not have both.
By taking away sponsorships or trying to get rid of all gun content,
even hunting.
Yeah, that's clearly what they're trying to do.
I think these companies should be held accountable.
Well, the thing is that there are laws
that prevent them from being held accountable.
I want you guys to know that if these
laws did not exist, YouTube
would not exist because
YouTube, if you go on and
I've done this before, I'll do it again.
Almost everything on YouTube is copyright infringement.
Every single thing on YouTube basically is.
It's not like it's just music.
It's movies. It's images. It's not like it's just music. It's movies,
it's images,
it's games.
99% of the content on YouTube
that is licensed for...
Like somebody has a license to it,
that license is not being used on YouTube.
You see kind of where I'm saying here?
Yeah, that's why
I come to Canada. I don't know about that.
I'm just saying in general right?
So a lot of right-leaning people have gun related sponsors too?
Yeah, I mean...
I think that makes sense, right?
It definitely makes sense.
I'll link you guys the video
so you can give them some support because
I do think that this is absolutely
fucking true. Give me one second
if I can find this here and
yeah, want to be held liable for each thing that we say
in chat? Well, do I want to
be? No, but Twitch does.
And this is my opinion.
I think that unless you're removing things
that are breaking the law,
you shouldn't be removing content off of the platform
because you are a platform and not a publisher.
So unless it's breaking the law
or putting people in immediate imminent danger,
then it should not be removed. It's that simple.
What law? Well Americans' Law because the websites here in America
and they're subject to our laws, obviously.
What do you mean? What law?
It's not even a question.
Yeah, these companies are accountable
to us like absolutely they're accountable to united states
like if the united states said jump youtube would say how high
they don't have like you gotta keep in mind the government
can just kill you you can't go kill somebody in the government.
That's not the way it works. They have a monopoly on violence.
They have all of the power, these companies don't have any actual power. So keep that
in mind. It's a gobble, yes.
So canceling YouTube Premium now and saying that Google
continues to destroy, screw its content
providers. YouTube is such a joke.
Sorry I read bad news twitter is doing
uh youtube is doing worse than twitter and it's prime
just cancelled youtube premium high school team i learned about the tragedy
of censorship in ussr yeah move all three channels to rumble
youtube let scam ads go unchecked.
This is a really great point this guy brings up
because how is it that you can have literal...
Like and this is another thing
like YouTube isn't being held accountable for
this either. Let me actually, I think that the things are still
available there. I'm just going to go incognito and then we're gonna look on YouTube again
Give me one second, I'm going to pull this up.
Let me see if I can
find some ads.
Uh... Let me see if I can find some ads. So like, for example, there's like wow gold for sale.
A lot of these sponsors are things that are
blatant copyright
infringement, like
Joe Rogan supplements.
I'm not sure if I'm going to have one of these pop up or not,
but there's a lot of times like yeah Joe Rogan. There we go.
Did Joe Rogan actually sponsor this? I bet he didn't.
Probably fucking not
and a lot of these things
are not being, like so basically
they are
stealing people's identity
using their identity to create
AI versions of the person
to sell something that the person isn't
selling. And YouTube has no
quality control for this.
So...
And the reason why YouTube is not held accountable control for this.
And the reason why YouTube is not held accountable for this
is because they enjoy
the privileges that every
social media company enjoys on the internet,
but those privileges
have a responsibility that is
attached to them and that responsibility is to not make arbitrary rules
and tell people what is and isn't okay because you think
it might not look good for PR
or you disagree with it politically.
I find this to be very
problematic, I think they're completely
fucking wrong for doing this and I think that
if these companies keep doing this
I would love to see
somebody like Trump or anybody
else hold these companies accountable
and say, if you keep wanting to censor
we're going to take away these privileges and you will no longer be
allowed to exist because that's what it really comes down
to trump is loving they do that yeah i know
trump's not gonna do it i hope trump would Yeah, I know. Trump's not going to do it.
I hope Trump would do it the first time.
He's not gonna do it.
And by the way, I don't think he's gonna do it...
Please do not take this as an endorsement of Trump.
I thought that was gonna happen and didn't happen for four years
It's not gonna happen in eight years either. Let's
be honest. So yes,
Biden's not going to do it either
though. You know, this is not partisan here.
So anyway, yes,
they love the protection from legal liability.
Yeah, exactly.
I find this to be very bad.
What do you guys think about this?
Do you guys agree with what I'm saying here?
Because I think this is complete bullshit.
Well, she's just for years on YouTube YouTube pick suit the target for this stuff?
Yeah it's complete bullshit.
This got here no you're fully wrong here uh need an internet bill of rights?
It's not censorship?
YouTube is a private company?
So why do you think that this isn't the case? I'm curious.
Fully wrong?
Because I think that you understand half of what I'm saying.
I'm fairly certain
that's what's going on here.
You listened to half of what I said, but not the other half.
Let's see this...
Pretty good. Pre-Rip Bozo.
This person hasn't been that obnoxious yet.
I don't think it's going to be a ban yet at least.
I understand what you're saying but you're incorrect on it being censorship?
Okay how is it not
censorship?
I think that it not censorship? I think that its censorship.
I think it's soft censorship.
It's definitely soft censorship
but it is censorship
yeah so it's objectively censorship? I'm just very confused.
But I am curious to hear what your perspective is.
Absolutely censorship? absolutely censorship no no i mean again like it's it's fine censorship would be if the government stepped in and disallowed it youtube is a private company and they have made the decision to protect
their own interests and shareholders.
So do you think that, uh...
I guess your perspective is that
only the government can censor things?
So is your problem necessarily the word censorship or is it the argument?
Because I feel like right now you're attached to the word censorship.
We can call it something else, It doesn't really matter to me.
It's the action and effect that the action has, that is the problem.
Is this semantics? Yes, I'm not interested in having a semantics argument.
It's pointless.
He's wrong? Censorship is only done by government? Well, let's look it up and find out right now.
Let's look it up.
The suppression or prohibition of any parts, books, films that are considered obscene politically unacceptable or a threat to security.
In ancient Rome the let's see here let's see some more definitions what is censorship?
Let's go back we're going to go through like four. Okay let's read four of them
and the institution system or practice of censoring
so none of this has been the actions
and practices of censors. This is kind
of, again, a censor, a person who
supervises conduct on morals
such as an official
so at no point in time is this...
the government is used as an example for censorship, but
the government does not actually have to be
the one that's doing the censoring.
We'll look
at, I guess this is censorship?
Jesus, how- bro, like
can somebody tell them this is insane?
Like what the fuck is this?
I've been to raves that give you less fucking
what do you call it?
Epilepsy than that. Holy shit!
Censorship, suppression of words, images
and ideas that are offensive happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their political or moral values on others.
Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups." So this is from the ACLU. Let's go back here we'll look at one more i'm
printing a whole book document being made to work public so so now that we've had
uh this prohibition things so this is not about government.
So, we've gone through
four different sources that say the same
thing. It's not semantics?
You're pushing it in that direction now? Okay, so
do you think that the Britannica aclu uh miriam webster dictionary
are all wrong and you're right Yeah, so...
Because if we're going to go down this road
let's just stop right now because we've diverged from reality.
Oxford Dictionary agrees with you? Of course it does because that is what the definition of it is.
This isn't a discussion.
It's just a fact.
They're not making
a call on the morality
of the content,
they just don't want
it on the platform. It can go somewhere else
still.
Censorship is not congruent with morality
and also subversive
of the common good. Now,
morality can be one vector in which censorship is
applied but censorship does not have to
be applied in a moral way. Also
I think that the argument for guns
and the promotion of guns is in fact
a moral argument too. So your argument wouldn't stand
even if it was accurate, and
even... Sorry,
this is not true
and it would not stand even if it was true.
So yeah, I will stand even if it was true so yeah i don't what are you doing
he's being disingenuous yeah what is that
we'll give it a little bit more we'll give it one more all right i'm not going
to waste any more time on this after this
if this is just gonna be a run around Definitely is not wrong here that you can ban something without applying a moral judgment to the topic, however
it doesn't seem like what's happened. Well of course you can! Of course you can do that. Come on.
You've got to...
How long is this going
to take, bro?
Like...
Okay.
I'm not being disingenuous.
The content is not something
that YouTube thinks
advertisers would want to continue
still being tied to the platform.
So I think that YouTube's ability
to get advertisers is not more
important than their ability
to be a platform.
Because they are able to get those advertisers and be a platform
because of the fact that government provides them
with that ability.
So if YouTube needs to do things that effectively void its privileges in order to get advertisers, then it should no longer have those privileges.
Why
should YouTube enjoy privileges
if they're not doing
the things that those privileges are supposed to enable?
The government does not have an obligation to make YouTube advertiser friendly but YouTube has
an obligation to act like a platform, because that's what the government says.
And they have massive liabilities that they don't have to deal with because of them.
They only have a duty to their shareholders?
This is completely disingenuous
and this is retarded. No, they don't.
You have a duty to the government because
you are directly accountable
to the government. You think you're
accountable to your shareholders? Break
the law and see what happens.
I think this person was completely disingenuous about talking
about it. He completely ignored the points. He was just arguing
about semantics,
trying to say something that's clearly not true.
It was disproven completely.
Like I have no problem having an honest conversation with a person
but when I feel like a person is being dishonest
or disingenuous or unfair and they're not listening to what's being said.
That's it. Stubborn dumbass chatter? Yeah, exactly. And that was by the way
hey guys! That was censorship I just censored him.
That's what happened.
Yep.
Now,
I bet he's probably mad. He said,
I just got censored. Yeah, you did.
But I'm not the government
so how did that happen?
I guess you didn't get censored.
Technically speaking fiduciary duty exists.
No it doesn't.
It doesn't exist in that capacity.
So a fiduciary responsibility exists inside of the confines of the law. So if you have to break
the law and void certain agreements in the government, fiduciary responsibility is not
a defense for breaking those laws. That's insane. If that was true,
that would mean a company could
just simply scam people in order
to make more money and use fiduciary
responsibility as a defense
in court to say it is okay that they scammed people.
Like, think about what you're
saying. Think about
like... And again
remember what I've said before about how bad logic
is the logic that can only be applied in one
situation
i think this is a great example of that
yeah this is a great sample because if
you think about this in any other vector
it's going to sound completely stupid
but in this one situation,
it seems like it makes sense."
He argued that advertisers don't want it on the platform
but YouTube blocking sponsors for guns
which are advertisers.
That's crazy, right?
It's crazy how that works.
You know, I had to... So drugs? Think of shareholders? Yeah, exactly.
Centering is not illegal though?
You mis... shareholders yeah exactly centering is not illegal though you missed so disappointing
so disappointing uh that's just the way it is i guess
advertising guns not against law yeah very disappointing
i'm pissed pickaxe uh 45 is a damn good institution on that skits website
youtube needs competition yesterday well they have they have Rumble, right?
It's just that Rumble is...
Rumble just doesn't have the awareness
that YouTube does.
No, I support Rumble.
I think Rumble's great.
In general, any platform that's actually a platform for free speech,
I completely am in supportive.
Absolutely.
Unfixable IQ?
Well, that's just the way it is, right?
There's a lot of people that just can't think about things.
It's standard deviations.
What's this? Forgotten Weapons Base has other
sites. Patreon up as well. Demolition
Ranch got affected too. Oh yeah!
The guy from Demolition Ranch had the
people...the kid wearing his shirt.
Oh my God, bro. I will watch
that. Yes, I'm going to look at that
after this. Vegas shooting is an arbitrary
point. 2016 election. Look forward for 2020 it's way more relevant
doesn't matter what the elections are the laws stay the same so yeah we are going to watch
the uh the class reveal for diablo 4 okay we absolutely will make sure i turn this down a little bit
so they are releasing and announcing the new class
for diablo 4. this is coming out with the expansion.
I wonder if they're going to start selling pre-orders for it here?
We'll see.
Uh oh...
I heard the Demo Ranch is being hounded by Dan Canciculture.
I'll talk about it after this.
Oh boy, oh boy! Who's ready to spend $130?
Are you guys ready?
Me? Same.
200 please? Oh, you're getting a deluxe edition!
Man... That's crazy. Oh man, I already pre-ordered it? Yep. John Hite was named new president of Wizards of the Coast. Man, good for him! That's badass!
Holy shit that's huge for him!
I always liked him.
Who? He was the general manager of Warcraft and so he left Blizzard like a month or two ago
And now he is moving over to Wizards of the Coast. Yeah, good for him. Succubus Foodoclast?
Alright, I don't think that's what Spiritborn is gonna be guys. Sorry to say
Now you know what I think Spiritborn should have been?
I think it should have been called Paladin.
Ooh!
Okay. So if you didn't watch the campaign,
what happened was...
This is not a snow cone. It's actually an old god or a primeval that's imprisoned inside of that crystal.

Alright,

Hello Diablo community,
I'm Adam Fletcher Community Director
for Diablo.
Welcome to our Spiritborn Showcase where we're doing a deep dive Oh! Q&A from Twitch chat. I'm joined here today with game director Brent Gibson. Thanks Adam,
we've been working hard to make something you what happened and we're finally here
to actually talk about the two guys remember us at Blizz. Joe and Rod.
And Rod.
Yeah, where'd they go?
Oh! Thanks. We've set out to make an all-new class that comes from the jungles of Nahantu, An apex predator with a deep connection to the spirit realm.
So without further ado let's kick off this deep dive to the Spirit Board.
Maybe he is only the game director
for the game?
For the expansion?
Okay.
Okay. The most promising face judgment in the mist.
Our trial begins and ends with pain.
Those who are not called,
Are culled. for the weak all paths in here
or they're worthy that path leads to power beyond compare and a sacred charge to wield it well
Though the mortal world was designed to break us
Our hearts, our minds, our bodies... There is another which makes makes us bold. We are without fear,
we walk with the ancient
guardians of the unformed lands.
Their power is our power.
Their cause is our cause.
Is it going to be another minion class?
We forge unbreakable bonds in a spirit another minion for we are spirit lord
damn It reminds me a little bit of the Mystic spear hand in uh dragon's dogma 2.
yeah these are all the same abilities Pretty much.
Gripping everything in is pretty cool!
No, like...
Sorry. I forgot it's live. Imagine having a Hydra
after this!
It's like you got this little fuckin' bitch ass Hydra, this dude's got a fuckin'...
Wow and there it is.
50 foot centipede?
First look at the spiritborn, the apex predator from the jungle.
Oh man!
Awesome to finally show it off
and what an incredible trailer.
To talk more about The Spirit Born
we would like to introduce
Eleni Rivera-Cologne
narrative designer on Diablo 4
Welcome, Eleni
Thank you I'm really excited to be here
to talk about the Spirit-Born class.
I'm also a little nervous.
It's okay.
We're live.
We're doing this live
here for everyone.
You're doing it live?
Obviously, Eleni,
we just saw
here in the trailer
Man I wouldn't have done that
I would've recorded
We saw a little bit about
that spirit realm
Can you tell us
a little more
Yeah
About what that
spirit realm is
Well I guess they have to do it a lot because they're taking questions from Twitch chat.
The spirit realm
is a place where spirits go.
It's this deeply spiritual place
that's a byproduct
of Sanctuary's creation.
So as you may know
the angels have the high heavens.
The demons have the burning hells and we have the spirit realm.
You know, we're hearing a little bit about
the high heavens and the burning hells here
and players have actually seen
both of those places specifically
kind like what does the spirit realm
actually look like for players?
Yeah, we really love this concept
that the spirit realm is shaped by humanity.
So if that's the case,
uh,
the foundation of that would actually be sanctuary.
So you could imagine being in the middle of the jungle and you're
surrounded by these tall trees
and these ancient structures
and when you cross
over the veil into the spirit realm
you're going to see a ghostly
reflection of just that. The big key difference is that you're going to see a ghostly reflection of just that.
The big key difference is,
that we are gonna see all the spirits and creatures
that exist there.
Yeah, they are these massive creatures
Sure, it's like Lords of the Fallen
that protect the realm from spirit
or...they protect the realm and the spirits from spirit and or they protect the realm
and the spirits from corruption so the spirit-born class have this
harmonious bond in connection with these massive creatures that are called
the spirit guardians and they work together to
ward the land. You know it's awesome to hear about the spirit guardians
you know people saw them in the trailer a little bit there, can you actually tell us
more who these spirit guardians are?
Yeah, so if the spirit realm is shaped by humanity
we love the idea that the guardians
are formed from human belief.
And so if you're trying to survive in the jungle
and protection is a thing that
you were pouring all of your beliefs,
your hope into
that belief it's magical.
It's got power in itself and can actually create a creature
that represents that, it could represent protection.
Yeah so as Brent was saying the Spirit Guardians are this complex creation of
sanctuaries' creation along with this powerful human belief.
And spirit-borns devote their entire lives strengthening this incredible bond
because these Spirit Guardians are
powerful. It's
this idea, right? Of what these
gods look like and so they can help protect
both the realm and Nahantu.
I'm surprised it didn't do a flying
serpent in the trailer and some of the gameplay people would have expected that
if you're playing this spirit porn you can actually summon one of these in there is
is that something you can do on demand? Like, how does that work?
Yeah. You know very early
on in concepting we saw this one piece
of a simple warrior raising their staff
above their head and this massive spirit creature forming behind
them and that really became the lightning rod to a lot of thought
provoking ideas. I mean we knew what we wanted to do mechanically with the class.
But that image really solidified that the idea of summoning a god into battle was really cool and that actually became the cornerstone for a lot of our development from then
on out. Yeah, so talking about
Spirit Guardians and summoning them
The Spirit Board class can
summon four Spirit Guardians
Um, the first one that I want wanna talk about is Rizoka,
and this guardian manifests in the form of a jaguar.
So-
That's cool.
That's a really cool picture.
A belief of courage and ferocity striking on the hunt
attacking to kill with no fear or reservations.
I like that.
The second one is Balazan appearing as this massive centipede.
That belief is balance and persistence so although some people might see it as
fear um it represents harmony and balance so
they give intake of life um and then we have quality the
manifestation of this is a majestic eagle, right? So to
represent awareness and finesse.
Soaring above it all, having
awareness of its surroundings and acting
with intent. And the last
one is Wumba.
This guardian manifests in a powerful gorilla,
so this beacon of protection and strength and immovable force that holds its ground
and sustains under pressure.
There's probably different specs
they'll like character can go into. So it's great to hear a. There are probably different specs the character can go into.
So, that's great because we've heard a little bit
about the spirit realm
We've heard about these
four awesome guardians
Like, can you tell us
a little more about
kind of the star of the show now
The Spiritborn itself?
Yeah so I think before the show now, the spirit born itself.
Yeah so I think before we really dive in
I want to talk about Akarat who's
really important with the Spirit Born
and the spirit realm for those
who don't know Akarat is this prophet that believed in the human experience and
it gives us a unique power. We have this light within us
And that light gives us the ability to question and doubt and challenge
When Akrat made his way
to his mother's homeland in Nahantu,
he felt this strong otherworldly presence
and he would spend a lot of time
with one of his apostles, Issovete, trying to uncover what this mystery
was. What was this feeling when he got to the realm or when he got to the land of Nahantu
until he eventually discovers this veil? And that's the veil between
the spirit realm and sanctuary um and he realized that
this was this untouched place from angels
they had never really had any sort of influence
there, so Akrad and
his dedicate Isavete would spend
a lot of time studying
and he would be the first person
in living being to cross this veil.
And then after Akarat died, his apostle would
take on the mantle and found the spirit-born
traditions that we know today.
You know hearing about the spirit born of of course like i'm sure this is a
burning question from the community uh but that sanctuary has a long and storied history kind
of where have the spirit borne been throughout all of this?
Yeah, so for anybody who knows
the lore of Diablo,
this region is no stranger to Mephisto.
So if you go back to Diablo 2 and
you look at the story there
his original soul stone
was imprisoned in this
place. And its presence
Why would you take it back? Why would you take it back?
Wouldn't that be the last
place you'd want to take them?
They've decided
stay at arm's length out of fear
that history might repeat itself yeah so like i said before this is an untouched
realm it's pure this is something so sacred and with Narelle coming back
with the Soul Stone, this is a huge problem for the people of Nahanti but specifically
the spirit-born that are trying to protect this land.
Yeah, and at this point with him back they have no choice but to rejoin the fight.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's incredible to hear more about the spirit born and where they originated from
and of course thank you Eleni for taking us into the spirit realm in itself.
You know we've talked about The New Class
and how that was created
and what they have been up to.
Next were actually going to take a look at how the art and concepts were designed.
Yeah, that looks cool.
So so see gameplay i think this is okay, seeing some of the way they make the art. Yeah, this is fine. Cool.
We are now joined by my blood brother, art director Nick Chilano who is here to show us how the Spiritborn visually came to be.
Nick, thank you for joining us today.
Thanks Adam I'm really excited to talk about the Spiritborn finally.
I know it's been a long time coming, been a long time coming.
Nick will you tell us a little bit more
about like how this
class came to be especially from the art side?
Yeah, you know first of all that trailer
what an origin story for Diablo Class
Like you gotta go into the jungle
You answer the call or your cold class. You've got to go into the jungle,
you answer the call,
it's pretty rock and roll and on the art side
we love that stuff so
I think when you go back to what Eleni
was talking about
we want to capture everything they just mentioned to what Ellen and Brent were talking about. This is like the different ones?
We want to capture everything they just mentioned
from a visual standpoint,
so for us it's about trying to infuse
how to...
Personally I think the middle one
is the coolest.
...and a martial arts feel into
Yeah, I like that one the most.
Brent mentioned that kind of lightning rod
moment. That's something that
our team really focuses on.
When those moments happen we really lock into that and start to do a lot of iterations. So like you know concept will start casting a really wide net but when that happens, we really start to bring it in and we start to really do a lot of concepts around that
so that we can kind of get that tagline
that the team needs, which is like
creating the living breathing embodiment
of the spirit realm.
Yeah, and after we get past that initial
inspirational piece, we want to
drill down into finding that
icon. I like the face mask here. That's really cool.
And so when you look at some of the
different types of animals today,
you can see how we're taking that embodiment and we're bringing it into all
of the iconic look of that character.
We wanted a class
that wouldn't necessarily wear armor to protect themselves.
It's like a plague mask?
That's why it's cool.
But rather become the guardian that they're all about,
and so if you're into the jaguar,
you're wearing the jaguar helm.
Your markings are the spots and patterns that you would see on
that creature,
The way that you move through the jungle would also be a big part of that package
And then once we have that iconic look
We can actually roll it out to the rest of the team.
Yeah, that's really the DNA
Of like where we start going
Like those iconic images drive
The entire art department at that point
And that's our North Star so we can move into things like
how do we get the spirit guardians on screen
how do they fit into the combat if you think about the eagle
you know into the combat. If you think about The Eagle,
is it just feathers? How do we represent that? Is there a rogue version of
a druid? It's a mix between
Witch Doctor and Monk
it feels.
From Diablo 3 and monk, it feels... From like
Diablo 3?
We also want to explore
visual iconography at the same
time. So while we're doing all
that iteration and stuff with the iconic looks and the skills, we're doing all that iteration and stuff with the iconic looks
And the skills, we're also starting to get into like what is the identity of
The class. Jungle monk? Yeah. Where do you want to put this iconography
And like what is that visual footprint that they are going to take up on
The screen? You know It's seeing all this bad-ass concept art.
Shout out to our concept artists.
Our concept team is amazing.
Yeah, so good.
How do you guys actually take this from like concept now to
actually building out the character from some of this concept art?
Yeah, once we have alignment between the design direction that we want to go,
we understand kind of roughly mechanically and from a design perspective where we want it
to be and where we want it from an art direction standpoint.
We sit down with each department, we actually
roll out the idea. We pitch them
you know and we're like hey this is what we're thinking
um and really get them to understand
where we're trying to head so that when they go off
in their crafts and make the best work
that they possibly can make,
some of all the parts end up with a killer class
like the spirit one. Collaboration's
a big thing.
It really starts at the character art department.
They take these 2D images and bring them to life in 3D.
They will start to figure out materials,
the fine details of how our armor's crafted
to like big silhouette shapes. One of the interesting things about this class
is we started to recognize that like the helms,
gauntlets and belts were really great places to
hone in on those visual elements.
Another nice thing is
the armor really started
to come into the space of being very
functional and practical. You'll notice like the legs are kind of open
the upper body is kind of open it's because we're making a really fast agile class so we want
everything to kind of line up and sure said they don't need to be fully armored.
They are protected by the Spirit Guardians. Their offense
is their defense and it shows when you play it.
Speaking of fast and agile,
we moved to TechArt.
TechArt really is the team
that will kind of find
what our limits are
and kind of allow us
to break them a little bit.
So they do a lot
of range of motion tests,
They're trying to figure out how we can get really dynamic poses
really dynamic lines of actions and we want to push that because this
class really needs us to kind of be in the spot where we're like,
kind of pushing the boundaries of what we've done normally.
Yeah, it's awesome because like you guys mentioned, like super
yeah all that looks good to me and now say Apex predator in
the jungle itself.
How do you put that towards something like animation now,
giving the character to move and kind of telegraphing through that animation?
Yeah, one of the key elements here
is making sure that we have a combat archetype
that's unique.
So if you take a look at the original five classes,
each one of them has a very distinct style.
And so when we're thinking about the spirit born,
uh,
We naturally went to martial arts.
And what does that mean for the movement?
Yeah.
It's the closest thing I have as a rogue right now.
Yeah.
Like the animation team,
like they went crazy with reference.
They were looking at Muay Thai,
Taekwondo, kickboxing,
boxing, karate.
There was a stunt woman that did these amazing
reference materials that we saw and the really interesting
thing here is, we're not trying to just mimic a martial art style. We're really trying to find
the best pieces of them and seeing where they fit, how can we manipulate them
how can we rearrange them in ways that make a really
unique and interesting
fighting style for the spiritborn
once the animation team
has that
again they have a wide range of options
that they're looking at. They start to figure out where it fits for each Guardian
So, for example, the Gorilla is blunt force, lots of strength.
The Jaguar is cleaves, multi-hit combos, aggression.
The Centipede is like open palm strikes for applying poisons and other things.
Yeah, this is like Fire Mage, Ice Mage,
et cetera.
And repositioning
on the battlefield.
So they nailed it
when it came to that.
Honestly,
it's like
the combination
of all the things
that we put together and we've been talking about it's like the combination of all the things that we put together.
We've been talking about,
It's like we've almost invented our own martial arts style for Diablo
and we'd been talking about this
last few days with other people that we met with
And they actually said hey does it have a name?
And currently it doesn't.
So like for those of you at home, if you had ideas...
Check out the Spirit Born gameplay and like,
you know, if you, names, suggestions.
We've got a name for this.
We've heard about
concept and we've heard about character art
tech card and now we just heard
about animation. I always call it kind of like the frosting on the cake,
and that is kind of VFX
that makes everything kind of pop a little bit.
How does VFX actually play into something
like this beer porn?
Yeah, you know, at this point... I mean the visuals look
great. They're an amazing bridge between... I mean even in
Base Diablo 4 they were great. Like the art's
good. And they had a really
important lift which was to try to figure
out how do we represent the spirit realm
and these elemental spirit guardians
together. What is that fantasy?
What's that story we're telling? So
Alan, you mentioned earlier that there's this veil.
We needed to understand
how do you get the jaguar
for example
to come through this veil
show up in sanctuary
and exit through the veil.
So visually
we're looking at
what is the spirit realm so we have this like kind of bluish white
mist they uh they come in through the veil that blue that bluish white mist kind of like trails
off of them they become physical yeah. Yeah, this looks great!
The jaguar is now engulfed in flames
as the spirit guardian. It kills everything
on the screen that's around it
and then exits through that veil
and kind of transitions into into that blue white mist
again. That's a fantastic story for us to tell,
and it also allows us to start to understand what are our pieces with
the VFX? And how do then ramp up our basic
skills to be maybe lean a little more into the elemental side,
core skills. We start to like how to blend the two together.
You know,
maybe it's like the gorilla fish show up and they look like that spirit elements
and then they you know,
Gorilla Fish
Ultimates where it's just like our spectacles are ramped up
and to be honest with you, when it all comes together there is a feel to this class
that is really awesome. Fist? Oh, I was about to say...
Inherently martial arts has a rhythm and a cadence
to it. Gorilla Fish sounds cool.
It's fantastic to look at.
You feel it when you play it, and the art team
they killed it. They did a fantastic job.
Yeah I gotta give another shout out to
the Diablo 4 art team.
Absolutely killed it.
The Spiritborn is fantastic.
It's great to look at,
great to play.
But Nick thank you so much for walking us through the creation of The Spirit Born.
A reminder for everyone watching from home we'll actually be holding a Q&A at the end
of today's Spirit Born Showcase similar to how we always do with all our live streams.
You can drop your questions in
the Diablo Twitch chat and we will try
to get to as many of them
as possible towards the end of the show.
For free?
I think so.
All right, let's see this.
This is a little more gameplay actually, okay Yeah, how's it play?
We've heard the lore.
We've seen the art now let's get ready to talk about some gameplay. I know a lot of people
are excited to hear more about how this class actually plays so next up we have Bjorn Mikkelsen
Class Designer on stage to talk about the gameplay for the Spiritborn.
Bjorn is actually here to tell us more
about the Spiritborn's overall class kit and design,
So a better version of a druid?
It's a skinnier version of a druid.
which every fan wants to hear about because itemization is,
of course, incredible especially with Diablo.
Bjorn, welcome.
Thanks for having me.
I know Bjorn will be a fan favorite here
because he's going to walk us through all the skills and the gameplay for how it works.
So, Bjorn can you kick us off? Let's see some game play. I want to see more of it.
Absolutely! So yeah just like level, what is this class?
Excellent
question.
Basically, what spirit porn are, they are
these jungle warriors who are empowered by the spirits.
They're sort of this dexterity-focused class
and sort of masters of martial arts
and hand-to-hand combat,
and so what they do is ultimately
all of their actions and their movements,
they sort of resonate with the spirits to form these
unique combat styles
as they're fighting. They mix and match them
to hit whatever build they need.
Awesome, so if you
are a current Diablo player right now or let's say I are a current Diablo player right now or, like, let's say I'm a current
Diablo player, which I am, and I play a lot of Rogue or Barb, like where would you kind
of place the speed?
I learned my lesson last time.
We're just going to play Barbarian every season from now on?
It's definitely our fastest, most aggressive class.
It's always the best class.
It has multiple gap closers built into its basic attacks
it has several movement skills very high damage on attack gap closer is built into its basic attacks it's got several yeah
several ways to upgrade its evade skill as well um
it's all about kind of like getting on target sticking to it and killing it awesome i know we had footage earlier
of like you know within the trailer of players actually being able and we talked about this
earlier uh players being able to actually summon in the spirit guardians.
So can you like just summon a giant jaguar into battle or anything?
I mean, it's probably an old right?
Absolutely. Yeah. In addition to being these master martial artists because they're empowered by these spirits
You'll see parts of the spirits but then ultimately with the ultimates
the spirits themselves will show up on the battlefield and they'll empower
you and deal damage. And it's really the core
of the fantasy right like if we talk about power fantasies
summoning the god into battle is the power fantasy for this class one of the things that i
really liked about that is that i were getting a lot of feedback early on
about making... I'll talk about it after.
I want to talk right now, but I'm just going to...
We were actually able to do that with this class
ground up. Awesome.
I know people are probably dying to know, like okay let's jump into some Spirit Guardians so
I think this is a great opportunity maybe we should start off with the Jaguar being the first one
Bjorn do you want to take us through the Jaguar itself?
Sure yeah starting off Jaguar itself? Sure. Yeah, starting off, Jaguar
is a great one. Jaguar
is, as we've kind of touched on before
it is sort of this manifestation of just
like the hunter. They're fast
exhilaration because he's like a cat um it's attacking repeatedly kind
of just constant pressure as it's going um it's got these ramping mechanics to
it it's got lots of killstreaks.
Mechanically speaking, the way we've kind of translated
this, its primary focus is attack speed
and it chases that
through a new keyword in mechanic that we call
ferocity. This is a stacking buff that it can generate usually
via jaguar skills uh that will increase the attacks it looks like there's a corpse
mechanic too also enhance others you see how it changes the corpses often reduce
their cooldowns that sort of thing it could also just be like
it's not done yet uh moving on to an example first off here's one we have ravager this is a
new type of skill we're adding to the game called Incarnate Skills.
They all have half an active effect.
This one allows you to maintain your Ferocity at just like a minimum level,
so you're all just a little bit fast.
That's cool, cut that guy in half.
But then when you activate it, kind of go full Jaguar
mode. It gives you
additional attacks, kind of
like whenever you hit something, it does an extra strike
so it can even turn
skills that are like deal a little bit less damage.
They can now deal extra damage
just whenever you hit something
moving on to the next one we have
rushing claw this one is
the Jaguars kind of primary
mobility skill it will dash you through a target and slash everything
along the way uh and the key to this one is you can kind of use it over and over and over again
like multi-strike your enemies and then finally of course we have the ultimate,
The Hunter.
This will actually manifest the Jaguar onto
the battlefield.
You'll leap through the air.
It's also a movement skill and when you land
the Jaguar will destroy everything
and it also has upgrades to kind of help change your character when you land, the Jaguar will destroy everything.
And it also has upgrades to kind of help chase the kill street
vibe. There's a chance to reset
the cool down after you kill something with it.
Yeah, so if you look at
all of these things as a package,
yeah.
So like you can ALE farm like that built into each.
That's actually crazy.
And that was actually something that was,
there's no way that goes live.
If you were specking into the Jaguar,
it's important to those types of players
who do want to keep the attack speed up,
that do want to keep their killstreaks going.
And you're gonna see this as like a through line
that each particular Guardian will have their own thing.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the fast frantic gameplay
and I would say I have a little bit of bias towards the Jaguar for sure
but I know we want to go on to the other Guardians
for sure. I want to see the
centipede. For all our tanky friends out
there, if you want to walk us through
the Gorilla. Yeah, that's why it's a lot.
Moving on to the Gorilla. The Gorilla
core concept behind protection and defense
but it's not just like passive defense
this is a very active defensive playstyle
where you're shrugging off of damage
but also returning it to your attacker.
So, its really got this core of retribution built into it.
Its core mechanic and stat that we work with is Damage Reduction.
It chases us in two ways, one is through using blocks or actively blocking damage as well as a second new keyworded mechanic called Resolve.
This is also a stacking buff but this one falls off whenever you get hit so it's really important to keep
stacking and kind of keep stealing yourself and building your resolve back up
But as long as you have any stacks of it, you get the full damage reduction bonus so moving on to just a
couple examples for guerrilla skills starting off we have crushing hand this
is their core spender skill kind of just as well smash your enemies to pieces
boring kind of neat thing about
it is it's actually two separate attacks it's two hands overlapping in the middle
uh so you can sort of prioritize a single target and deal double damage oh that's cool
that's absolutely a cool nuance that's good this That's actually a cool nuance.
This one is Payback.
This really leans hard into the sort of aspect
of retribution we have going on.
This will deal a large amount of damage
and that damage ramp up
the more something has hit you.
So it's really good for just like ending a fight if you need to, but also as things are hitting
you, that'll reduce its cooldown so kind of you have this flow of being able
to sort of end fights but of keep hitting as you go.
And then finally,
again we have the ultimate
skill for the gorilla itself.
The skill is called the protector.
It creates a large protected area
on the battlefield that will grant you barrier while
you're inside of it, as well as several other defensive bonuses
that you can spec into with it.
And the girl will just smash any enemies
that try to come and harm you while you're in it.
If you like that bruiser
archetype, this is the
build for you. It is definitely about that give
intake of damage. I mean, you said it earlier
anyone who's been looking for a tank or a tank-like build in Diablo, this is the one that you're going to want.
It's not going to be as good as a Barbarian, by the way.
Don't listen to them.
Barbarian's going to be way better bring damage to enemies it doesn't matter
what they're general lines so awesome so barb's gonna be way better on to our third guardian
of course we have the eagle uh bjorn do you want us take us through the eagle yeah so the eagle. Bjorn, do you want to take us through the eagle?
Yeah so the eagle is kind of soaring above it all we've got this
guardian that represents precision and accuracy and finesse
its ability...its freedom of movement like a and accuracy and kind of finesse.
Its ability,
its freedom of movement
like a lot
of the movement
that the class has
is very aggressive
very in your face
and the eagle
really is able
to kind of take
that to another level
and kind of go
wherever it wants uh in addition
to that it can also sort of like extend its attacks the sort of pseudo range play style
allows it to really like prioritize a target and hit from anywhere.
So its core stat that it cares about is movement speed
That allows it to go anywhere it wants
And tactically reposition on the battlefield
It also has several ways to sort of amplify its evade skill,
you know adding damage that sort of thing to it. So moving into just a couple
examples we of course have to start off with Saur
this is sort of Spiritborn's premiere mobility skill,
takes you up into the air out of the battle for a second
able to dodge mechanics with that if you need to
but also because The Eagle
is all about kind of those big impacts as well it will create
a target area where you can come down and make those enemies vulnerable so that just
amplifies the damage when you land.
For wizards in Diablo 3.
Moving on to another example uh we have razor wings this is a damaging
still uh for the eagle this one has kind of this cool back and forth where it sends it out
allows you hit something like that turns to you it's sortE The spinny boys
Spectral Throne? The secret is bringing in the eagle itself to just annihilate your enemies with damage
and cast it anywhere on the battlefield that charges up and then blasts off.
The Blast can be upgraded to a guaranteed critical strike, and while it's on the battlefield
it will also make everything vulnerable for you.
This is one of the first Ultimates that we have
which will have multiple charges
so you can use it back-to-back
or prioritize your target with it and There's a lot of player agency
with that.
This is really for that tactical player
where positioning is
super important. You don't necessarily
want to be constantly in play fray. I do, I have so much I wanna say.
So you still wanna output that damage
maybe you wanna put it in a particular
place in the encounter
but you can do it by going in and then
get right back out. For those players who really like that
positioning that's what the eagle is for yeah that seems like the eagle gives
you that extra freedom of like yeah immobility so you can kind
of move in and out especially with things like sore uh which is sick to see for sure
so unique for diablo 4 for sure on that end um last but not least of course this
is probably our most unique spirit guardian i'm probably yeah this is what i want to say like
and that is the center so bjorn uh how's the centipede play out
yeah so moving to the center there's poison right the centipedes very unique
uh it represents this sort of abstract concept of the cycle of life and death
and the way we've kind of chosen to interpret that
uh is that it's sort of just at theenter of attrition can some people regrow their body i
don't think they can like this endless or inescapable sort of persistence um and
that's like yeah really bad for your, but kind of really good for you.
So it kind of... its core mechanics that it works with
with that persistence is damage over time poisoning
crowd controls, that sort of thing
But then it uses those things to sort of empower and sustain itself
Imagine having a Hydra and seeing this
I would feel like a fucking loser
Just a quick example
Stinger is our core
skill for the Centipede. Visually lame?
The only part of this that I think
is actually cool is that ability.
But the sort of interesting thing about it
is that damage will also echo out to any nearby
poison. That's the only one I think is cool. It kind of has this
adaptive, dynamic
range that it
has depending on how much you've been
spreading your poisons around the field
so it can basically hit the whole screen depending on how much you've been spreading your poisons around the field.
So it can basically hit the whole screen if you really want to.
Another skill example that we have would be Scourge.
Scourge kind of takes that sort of oppressive control
that the centipede has, and it will fear
and slow and poison enemies
and disrupt any strategies they might have going on
and allow you to turn the tables on them. And then finally,
we have the ultimate skill bringing in the centipede itself onto the battlefield this is
The Devourer poison laser beams globs of poison everywhere. Just the centipede
kind of wrecking the entire battlefield.
I'm typing out my notes. It's got upgrades which will also
allow it to instantly execute
enemies with their fully poisoned weapons.
Helping the cycle of life and death to speed up a little bit there.
Yeah, this is clearly our most Diablo guardian that we have.
It's becoming a fan favorite very quickly.
People who've gotten hands hands-on with it
have a lot to say about it,
but the cool thing
about this one is we took on a really unique design
challenge. How do you take the concept
of damage over time,
dealing damage, regenerating life,
and make that kind of the core
of an entire archetype?
Right this fire.
You guys did a fantastic job at getting it there
for those type A players who really want to manipulate
the field and keep that damage up and keep that resilience going this is definitely that class
it's so crazy seeing a giant centipede
behind me right now, but
I know a lot of players at home are probably
looking at each of these four spirit guardians and they're
going like, hey, this is probably
the one I'm gonna go with just seeing some good things. Yeah, I. Yeah, seeing some of this because it looks cool
but I think one big question
that probably a lot of people have
is are you kind of forced
to go down in one of these
or can you actually do so?
We do like two of them right now.
Does that work? You know like two of them, right? How does that work?
You know, freedom of choice is really important for this class.
So if you want to go all in on one of them,
go for it.
Like there's no problem doing that.
There's benefits that you can see from it.
Can we pass this all the way through at the end? Oh God. There's also benefits for mixing and matching, right? there's benefits that you can see from it
mixing and matching like big patch we wanted adaptability i think i'm playing
this season hybridization
of this class so it's been a goal from the very beginning to actually get that there.
When you get
hands-on with this, you're going to want
to experiment. We want you to experiment.
I'm playing minions no matter what.
There's going to be many builds that are very emergent and I actually can't wait
to see some of the cool stuff that people come up with once this goes live
Yeah exactly like at it's heart
Spiritborn is really all about personal personalization, sort of expressing yourself.
And so like
whichever spirit sort of resonates with you
we really want to allow you
mix and match them kind of to your heart's content
um...and sort of make that play style choice you could ride on the center
it'd be like a sandworm in doom the primary way uh that we're doing that or the main like gonna
be awesome class mechanic called Spirit Hall.
The way the Spirit Hall works
is you start your journey off
by choosing
one of four bonuses
at the top,
the primary bonus.
This is a massive bonus
that will add
sort of a thematic effect to all
of your skills of that type.
So an effect like the Jaguar, it
will add extra strikes and that sort
of thing to all your jaguar skills.
But a subtle but very important extra piece of this
is that we'll also add that spirits tag
to your entire skill kit,
so every single part of your skill kit
now has the Jaguar skill,
and so even if you want to use like centipede skills,
you can still sort of hook into various parts
of the jaguar using this bonus.
Then later on in your journey
you will unlock a second bonus.
This is a set of four distinct
bonuses from the first.
Each of these kind of has a tie-in with
sort of core mechanics
of each of the spirits, so we mentioned before
some new keywords that we were introducing like Jaguar has ferocity,
uh, the gorilla has resolve those sorts
of things. These give you an opportunity to
sort of mix those into your kit
regardless if you're using
specific skills or not and sort
of like add that extra layer on top of your build.
And when you're choosing these spirits,
these can absolutely be the same.
You can pick gorilla and gorilla, jaguar and jaguar
or you can mix and match them
and it's really important that they all kind of flow
and work together.
So if you look at the nesting doll effect
that we have of your skill tree,
your class mechanic.
This can get complicated very quickly.
And so one of the things that the team took on was this idea
of finding what resonates most
with each Guardian,
and how do we create some level of overlap
so that we can have some synergies between all of them.
Yeah, exactly.
I'll be looking this up on Max Roll.
It's not complicated at all.
You've got the Jaguar...
Rax will figure it out for me and I'll copy him.
You can definitely build into those, but
it was important to sort of establish that
these spirits don't exist like in isolation
from each other.
They have overlap.
They have things
that they both care about
and that allows us
to sort of create
these very hybrid-esque
builds that work together.
You know,
just like an example,
right?
You've got like the jaguar as a hunter.
It's all about aggression and chaos.
And that's the thing.
It loves that.
But as a hunter, you're also providing.
You are also sustaining yourself,
which is something that the philanthropy also loves to do. And so they both
care about healing and they both have
different hooks that they can do for that.
If you're looking to get more healing into your
build, you can add some Centipede, you can add some Jaguar
mix them together, you can make an entire build about healing but it's Centipede and you can add some jaguar. Mix them together and make an entire build about healing the
centipede and jaguar. These aren't prescribing
ways to build but they're more so just
like overlapping stats
that allow them to sort of communicate
with each other. I think that's probably a good way of designing it.
We have, for instance, if you want
to build like the gorilla,
gorillas are a lot of protection,
jaguars is a lot of chaotic constant damage
so when you mix those two together,
you get this sort of like semi tanky brawler can just kind
of go toe to toe with anything and they sort
of dip into the stat of dodge because dodging is a little bit
inherently a slightly more rng,
a little bit more chaotic kind of jaguar.
But it also kind
of has that damage mitigation
and so you kind
of combine them together
and you have this very like retribution
but also fast paced play style.
Another example would be potentially if we think about like the centipede and the eagle the centerpiece is all about sort of debilitating your enemies
and like making them weaker i think that's going to be the best one by
the way he said he was gonna be the best one, by the way. The centipede is going to be the best one.
The reason why is because chance for me to be able to prioritize the target, weaken it and then just pull it from the battlefield.
I'm so glad Bjorn brought all these really good examples for us. He's got a lot of footage for us to go through.
It's awesome
to see all these skills and how they work
with the actual Spirit Guardians,
Of course, the big popular
topic that comes with every single class is itemization.
I know we have a lot to talk about with legendary aspects and some
uniques as well, so...
I don't even know how spells work, so I can't get excited really about that.
Yeah, we all know that
itemization is the heart of a game, right?
It is. That's why Season 4 was the best season.
As we've been moving through our itemization journey
with this game, we've had
a really great opportunity
to fold in all the feedback
and how that applies
to the spirit born
as we've been developing.
And one of the cool things
that we did
was took the opportunity
to actually lean into
the things that you get from items.
I think it's inferior to POE for my needs, but it's a very good game.
So we're going to show a few examples of that. Now this is just the tip of the iceberg.
There's a lot of really cool stuff coming,
but we thought we'd do a really quick breakdown
and show you what that looks like.
Yeah so just hitting a couple examples
You know we have added this large suite
of spirit-born legendaries
and uniques to the game.
Just to break down some of our thoughts as we were working with them,
sort of the types of Legendary's you can expect to see.
I want someone five cent a piece.
One example is these hybridization things.
There are a lot of different stats in our game
and making them work together,
not just like work together but be cool together.
So we have this category of items
that will interweave a couple of different stats.
Secondly, we have our power augmentation legendaries.
These just kind of let you take like your favorite skill
and ascend it to its final form.
Yeah, like double hydra.
Go crazy with it.
And then thirdly, we have subpowers. These are sort of things
like... We think of them like rogue
grenades, barbarian dust devils. These are sort
of things you can build around. They're almost like
skills but they don't exist in your skill tree as
things you can put on your bar. I feel bad for Hydra gross.
Finally, we have our unique items which are
there to enable you to sort of
make the craziest builds you could think of.
So moving onto a couple examples
just kind of one for each real quick.
We have Tormentors.
This is an example of a hybridization legendary.
This one interweaves poisoning and thorns together in an interesting way
that allows you to apply your thorns in a interesting way. That's cool, I like that. They allow you to apply your thorns
in a different than just having something
hit you all the time. Yeah, that's
okay, cool. You can probably see the connection
Gorillas centipede they'll love this sort of thing
Moving on to an example of a power augmentation,
we have Bristling Vengeance
This takes the payback seal that
we kind of hit before
usually it's like smaller AOE right in front
of you that just hits one enemy but this one really
allows it to sort of like extend its range hit multiple enemies as well as
apply your thorns over an area that's cool and then thirdly we have an example
of one of our subpowers this one is's called a Pestilence Swarm.
The cool thing that we're kind of trying to outwit each of our subpowers
is there are multiple legendaries for them
and they sort of allow you to customize how they work.
So there's like one that'll let your pestilence warm up,
poison enemies, one that will make it spiral
and even orbit. You can sort of
combine those, you could have it
orbit AND spiral or poison
I think this is the last people We really want to or poison. You can just have it shoot off whatever boosts for your build.
We really want people to be able
to experiment and play with those subpowers
And then, a couple of teasers
Some of our uniques
These are some unique boots that basically allow you to override your evade skill.
Oh, that's really...
Just get the ultimate amount of mobility you can think of.
That looks really nice!
And you get three evade charges?
Yeah.
That's really cool.
Nice. unique quarterstaff. That's really cool. Which is one of the two weapons we're adding with Spiritborn. This one sort of allows
you to ramp up your basic attacks
Spiritborns basic attacks are a little bit
special, they're kind of really cool
these three hit combos and each third hit does like a special thing
and this specific unique basically lets you get that third attack all the time so then we have
to take their third attack and make it a triple version that almost turns them into
a different skill entirely.
Yeah, this is awesome seeing all the...
Couple of examples of unique... As Brent mentioned, this is just kind of like
the tip of the iceberg. I personally would take the sore boots
all day and use, you know, a sore as an advantage would take the sore boots. Five centipedes, ten centipedes.
The centipede kills somebody at some point
to do a centipede. Absolutely amazing. But I want
to give a huge thanks to Bjorn for
walking us through all of that. About that. The skills especially
associated with the Spirit Guardians,
and of course the itemization across the whole entire class.
We will actually have an extensive look for the entire community
after this show on our blog.
It will provide a great amount of detailed mention here immediately following
the stream so you can check it out and do a deeper dive with the spirit born yourself now we're going
to bring back everyone to get into our q a for all things spirit born okay here we go man i really
i am ready to talk about this i i am so ready i have so many things i want to say yeah i've written down notes so uh-huh We'll see it.
Now we're ready for our community Q&A
where we'll answer your burning questions
for all things Spiritborn. If you have questions,
again, please drop them in Twitch chat
and we'll try to get through as many
as possible through the whole entire Q&A process.
All right, let's see it. Thank you guys for joining us.
We did some musical chairs
to get everyone back up here during that quick
little interstitial. I know
as questions are coming up, one
big question that everyone always asks
and I know we've probably seen it a million
times in chat already is
hey, we have the Spirit-Born. This is a brand new
class. Why not something brand new class. Where's the paladin? Why not something like
a class from a prior game?
Like a paladin.
Yeah, right out of the gate, right?
Yeah, good question.
Great question, Adam.
One of the key things that were really important to us was
to make sure that the class came from the place
that we were going. We also knew that
we did a really good job at revisiting classic archetypes like the
Barbarian and the Necro. And so we're in this position where doing something new
was a great opportunity it was something that allowed us to inject
some fresh gameplay in
and going after the spirit born
was a wider palette
to play with,
so making sure that we were building something
from the ground up,
from Nahantu
was really the driving factor of this
and we're very proud
of where we landed at today.
Awesome.
Okay, so because it wouldn't fit with the lore
basically that's the reason why.
This is everyone's first time you guys are explaining
this is everyone's favorite moment
where I butcher Twitch names like no other
but Ark Phoenix asks wait the lore names like no other. But Arkphenix
asks, wait the lore
where have the spiritborn been
in D3, D2?
Why are they not fighting Mephisto themselves?
Yeah I mean...
We talked about it before.
This is a religion that has been
building up over time.
They're a little more secluded.
Oh man!
And really one of the things...
Good question again, yeah.
Early exploration of Akrat, right?
Yeah.
Like there wasn't much development that was going in
so that was like a new frontier for us to work
with. Yeah and
in general the spirit warren which you'll notice
when you do play the game
they are very scattered throughout Nohantu
it's not like they have this massive presence where you walk in and
you're like there they are you know it's a little different than that. They're hidden, they're
in the jungle and they don't necessarily want to be seen.
And this has sort of been the idea this entire time, it takes a lot
of devotion to be a spirit-born.
This isn't something that you can hop in
and out of, so when we talk about
being a spirit-born these are people who have devoted their entire lives to be doing this one thing.
And that's what they're doing in Nahantu. They're not exploring really.
I know we've actually gotten a few questions
about this specifically, and
this is a pretty good question to Bjorn and Nick
because a lot of people have noticed like
headquarters staff and new weapons
Like what are the new weapon types for
Spearport specifically?
Spearport is bringing two new weapons with it.
First off, we have the Glaive, kind of its
premier weapon that you see in all the key art.
That's really the weapon for like a hunter.
It's great for taking down
priority enemies.
It's got built-in elite damage,
that sort of thing.
And then the second weapon
we're adding
is the quarterstaff.
This is a faster weapon
that they can use
to even sort of like
add like block chance and that sort of thing
to it so it's almost like a little bit of a pseudo defensive weapon
but it has very fast with blockchains too yeah from a fantasy standpoint it
was really cool to like try
to create weapons that made sense for again. Like Brent
mentioned where the class is from so like you know
Aglaive makes a lot of sense for like cutting through
the jungle and being an aggressive weapon
being an attack based weapon.
The quarterstaff is really cool because it's like
you could imagine how do they train with this?
They probably found really strong branches from trees
that were really important to them.
And they start to train with that,
and eventually they kind of start
to perfect that craft in that bow staff.
So there's a lot of really cool fantasy
that we can our tinkering dig into.
It also looks cool.
Just to be frank, we're talking about a martial arts
class
having the bow staff
or the glaive to really
extend some of those key poses that we got
with the martial arts stuff
that we put into the game. I mean it just
looks really good
Yeah, it's awesome to see
new weapons for the Spiritborn with
Vessel of Hatred. So another
question that we have here, this is from
bucko351
easy name. Question what's
the difference between the Spiritborn and the druid class?
The druid class currently has bonds with
like the stag, the wolf, the eagle
and the snake. Like what's
kind of the changes between that
and something like this?
I wonder if they're going to get mad at him after this.
When it comes to the spirit-born you're not necessarily turning into
this animal that we are talking about.
This is a Spirit Guardian that lives in the spirit realm,
and you are channeling this spirit guardian. And the manifestation
that we're talking about is what comes out. So, when you talk about ferocity or something
that's something
that you see in the jungle right?
You have this jaguar
that's recognizable and that's
manifestation it's best way to show that.
So if we had a different belief,
then it would manifest in a different way
versus the druid you sort of really encompass the entire
animal. And you see that
in the gameplay quite a bit where
I think Nick you were mentioning
before words like yeah
have this bond with the centipede. When I call him
in, I call the centipede
in to deal with this side of the combat
and then I go off and start managing
the other side of the combat so you really see this
like combat partnership between
the Guardians and
the Spiritborn, which is incredibly unique.
We got a
question here from KatTheDewey.
They're asking, we've seen
four spirit guardians. Are there other spirit
guardians that were considered potentially?
Yeah.
Look, I'll spill the beans.
I'll talk about it. You know, when we're choosing the spirits,
we played around with a lot of concepts.
Super abstract stuff that weren't animal-based.
We talked about, okay, if I'm from from the jungle these things would probably represent
things that I know which brought us to animals.
And when we think about protection and strength
we originally had some conversations around an elephant
like what does an elephant mean?
If there's a animal that represents
like family and protection the most
the elephant is one of those.
The gorilla was also being talked about at the same time
and they mean the same thing
so when we
looked at them side by side
which one can convey the best powers
what gives you the right
movement and convey the best powers, which gives you the right movement
and visuals that you would need for the power set itself.
So yeah-
I was gonna say like we spent a lot of time
trying to figure out like there's a lot of collaboration and sometimes
art will inform design, design will form arts. I think this is a great spot where like Brian
was saying like we're looking at a lot of different things but when you think about Nahantu
when you think about the canopy of the jungle and you start thinking
about how does that protect what's in the jungle? Like the gorilla just made a
lot of sense thematically. So we start to find those moments right
and you think about the centipede it's
there's the ground and the roots of
the jungle. Like what comes up, there are insects
We spent a lot of time exploring that but
when we talk about gameplay connection
poisons, fears, right? The
centipedes, this life-and-death kind of cycle they talked about. The centipede that this like life and death kind of cycle they talked about.
Like the centipede makes a lot of sense so we really start to try to connect
the dots in really interesting ways
And those are the ones that really stick.
Fictionally
The idea that these things are created based on human beliefs, we believe in more than four things, right?
And so the idea that we could expand this out well beyond the class,
we've developed more lore than
you're actually going to see in the game for
Spiritborn because we want this thing
to live beyond just Diablo 4.
Awesome. I know we this is
this one's a little bit for Bjorn and we'll test his skill knowledge here but
question from Churney Fire was does the echoing poison effect work
on enemies not poisoned by you?
Is there like a radius limit,
how does it works specifically.
Probably your radius.
Yeah, there's a small radius limit to it but that can be
extended through things like tempering and that sort of thing.
It will do any poisoned enemies on the screen.
Oh, nice.
That sounds crazy.
So yeah.
Yeah, it's going to be the best.
Just something to be close.
From crawling out of this spiral. This one's a lore
question specifically, did Mephisto
know about the veil between Sanctuary and
Spirit Realm, um, and like the corruption
within the jungles during Diablo 2?
Like, uh, was he able to sense it
during that time? I know we had talked about
the spirit realm being this pure and
untouched place, so...
Yeah! We can definitely assume
Mephisto knew there was something
There
When it comes to the lore
Of Nahanti, there are a lot of protection
That happened during
Mephisto's corruption
He wasn't able to break through the veil, so that is something
that you know...that's why it's so dire now but definitely he had this feeling for sure
Question from NotMVP
How does the resource
for the spirit porn work? Do they generate it passively
or how does that work specifically? Did they close the chat?
The spirit porn's primary resource is called Vigor.
It does not inherently recharge passively,
you'll generate it by using your basic attacks
but sort of like the key with spiritborn being very customizable
one of the first
choices that you'll be able to make in your tree,
with your basic attacks is you can sort of customize how
you will build the Spirit beyond that whether it's by poisoning
enemies or by blocking damage,
that sort of thing to really make the resource work
the way you want it to work.
And then later on there are also some uniques
that will allow you to further customize
how your build influences the resource
generation awesome i know um people we just talked about the weapons and stuff and there's
like follow-up questions of like are the spirit born only using two-handed weapons uh for this class yes easy enough um the other quest
or the other question that we're getting is I think a special quest
For before you can actually start us spirit born or create a spirit
We're born of their quests that are maybe specific to this probably like level 25 quest, right? Something like that.
Well, we're going to definitely be introducing the class mechanics similarly
to the way that we introduced it with the other classes.
As far as the beginning of the story is concerned,
you know, we really want to jump
straight into continuing
the chapter
of hatred. Right? Like what
happened when Narelle left. We
want to jump right into it, get right back
into the story and so we're going to pick up from the perspective where
Narelle left off. Awesome. That was
a question for Magara I forgot her name throughout the
name. I do want to give people shout-outs when they do actually ask names.
The Grim Knot asks,
does the spirit porn have ties
maybe with the witch doctor in any type of way?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Not at all.
When Brent is talking about creating something new, that's what we wanted to do with the Spiritborn. That also meant really diving into lore and figuring out a separation for freshness.
We wanted to still bring in things that were familiar from D2
and just lore in general that we know about,
but when it comes to the spirit born class and the traditions of the
spiritborn they're very new you get a chance to explore it in the game um and
you'll see that they're very different awesome
uh as are on blood moon, how much is the monk inspired into this gameplay of The Spiritborn?
You know it's a...we always look back and we can find like a lot of reference
or we could be inspired by things we've made, but-
It's the same thing though.
When you play the class
you'll see it's extremely different.
Oh.
It's so unique,
it's so fresh
and it kind of carves its own space
in our kind of lineup
that after an inspirational point
maybe of looking at
like martial arts
as the core
it just kind of goes off
in its own direction
and kind of redefines that space.
I definitely
want to add to that. I don't want to be shy
about the fact that we
know what works mechanically
in the game, so we're constantly looking at
inspiration. Thank you, yes.
You copied the other one? Yeah, of course you did.
What works best.
Fucking duh!
Take that inspiration and then like take a right turn
and actually amplify it or take it
in a slightly different direction. It's fucking obvious
Very different. I know we have
time for one more question
This is a question
for everyone here,
what is everyone's favorite spirit?
I've already revealed mine
which is Jaguar
but like what is
everyone's favorite
spirit?
I mean I can start
I'm gonna cheat
I'm going to say two I'm gonna say two.
Um, I love the Jaguar as well.
But it's a little just a little bit too chaotic for me like inherently and so I'd love to
just like mix an eagle in there as well just for a little bit more control a little bit
more like freedom.
Gorilla.
When I saw it show up on screen
beat its chest
it was awesome.
We're like wrestling buds.
You know?
We talk about wrestling all the time.
Well, the centipede is the coolest one.
What are you talking about?
It's just a gorilla.
Who cares?

Thank you for being here to walk us through the spear porn
and thank you all and everyone at home for tuning in we'll see you in nahantu
good for them i think this was... it was okay.
Let me, I want to make sure that I'm on pace.
When is the PoE livestream happening so I know how much time I have?
59 minutes,
I'll be right back
and then we're going to
get into it.
Let's go. so so so so.. All right.
So, we're going to talk about this?
We got to get into it.
We're going to get into it.
All right.
So, guys, listen.
This is what I fucking think.
I think...
This is what I wrote down.
Let me get over to this.
Alright. Number one, all the NPC archetypes
in the video were archetypes that we had seen in the existing game
already and if you look at for example is there a video for this
i'm just going to look at this from this direction right many of these npcs function the exact same as the existing
npc's they just have a south american uh macabre vibe to them
right and so you have for example like there were the fat boys that
were running at you when they died and they exploded you had these things right it is a
lot of the same stuff right it's just's just different skins. So that's number
one. Number two,
I think that if you look at
the way they were describing and
explaining the way the spells worked,
there's a huge difference between with Diablo 4 and POE because
remember whenever we were watching the poe 2 trailers and they said okay you
can use this and then this synergizes with this
and then this builds off of this and then there's this ability that can
uh work in this way and if you have all
of that you can also use this and it activates all of this.
And,
it's like there's a synergy
in like a class design that's built
into it that I don't
think that the Diablo
4 devs really have.
You see kind of how it's saying, like basically
this was showing us different
blocks whereas
the PoE was putting the blocks on top
of each other.
This is very wide but it's not deep it doesn't feel like it's deep uh visually i think that honestly i think POE 2
if this is a 9, POE
2 is a 10.
I think POE 2 at this point looks better than
this. Visually,
I think so. Now art direction
is debatable but like this is let me just put it side by side right?
Give me a second. I want to make sure that I've got...
Oh, man.
I really wish I had it here.
But like if I look at the visuals for this
Yeah, this boss. Oh my god, I got so lucky. I just randomly clicked
on it. If I look
at the visuals for this
and then I look at the visuals
for this
I feel like POE 2 looks a lot better.
I just think it looks a lot better.
More details? Yeah, yeah, right?
And like Diablo 4 isn't bad.
Like, it's not bad.
It's just that this is way better.
So yeah, 4K video on stream. You think that it's because of the... No this is both HD right? I mean
It probably is doing it automatically so it's probably about the same.
So,
yeah, I feel like PoE looks better in that circumstance.
I think visually it looked okay.
I also think
that it would be really cool if you could combo multiple gods together and summon some of the greater gods, like Quetzalcoatl or something.
Imagine there was a legendary that you could use...if, you know, if you used
four god powers
in a row,
kind of like
an inverse Tal Rasha
where,
like,
if you use
all four of them
it summons
Quetzalcoatl
as a cloud serpent
to fucking do
some kind
of crazy ability right? That'd be
fucking badass, like Exodia
kind of. It'd be really cool.
Also, I think they should have gone with Paladin
This is... it's cool
idea but I think Paladin score also like you're talking like
this is like some again like gothic south american vibe why don't you have a blood sacrifice spell
whenever you kill one of these mobs.
Like, how is there not a single component to this that has to do with
blood sacrifices? Like, what are we talking
about here? I also think that the
concept art that they had was
fucking amazing! It was so
good, I loved it
The game art however
6 to 7 out of 10
That's where I'm at, 6 to 7 out of 10
Not bad, not bad, hey not bad at all it's good
but like
you know You know...
I think that the biggest thing
That made me concerned was this
It was the fact, that all of the spells
And everything they showed was completely one-dimensional.
This spell does this thing, and you can change it in this way
versus when PoE was explaining the abilities and the mechanics
of their game. It was
just building on top of each other,
on top of each other, on top of each other, right?
And then there's this
and then there's that and then there's this other thing, right? I feel like there's this, and then there's that. And then there's
this other thing,
right?
There's no debt.
I feel like
there's no depth to it.
Yeah,
exactly.
POE2 just looks so good,
man.
It's not even
a fair comparison.
I know.
I know how can
a multi-dollar company
keep up?
Yeah,
I mean,
I feel like an asshole for saying this right but like I really
think it's true. Let me see
if I can get to another boss fight just so you guys
can get a better visual
Like I think honestly like this one's Cool.
I think honestly this one's not as visually impressive, I just want to come back to the first boss right?
Look at how this guy spawns in right holy shit
oh my god
that's amazing, dude.
And so...
and again I want to say
these NPCs are almost all of these
NPCs are just retooled versions
of existing NPCs.
Again, it's not a big deal. These
are the shamans. These are the little grunts, these are the big guys
that'll go like
you know they'll do this
The only way POE does their demonstration is just straight up cinematic.
They showcase something simple, then one step at a time show how they all interact together and do something insane.
D4 doesn't even try to do that. See, that's the best way to say it. I'm going to read this again because
this is a better way to say it
because he typed it out right?
The way POE does their demonstrations
is straight up cinematic. They showcase
something simple then one step at a time
show how they all interact together to do something insane. Exactly.
Like that feels so much cooler.
... so much cooler. Whereas this, to me, like...
And there are cool things, right?
Like for example the way he walks in the centipede
and his footsteps. That's really cool.
It's not like
it's bad, right?
It's just that You know
That's the way I see it
They tried depth and it fumbled hard? Maybe you're right.
You think they're just apprehensive trying to innovate
with depth? Well, I don't know. I have no idea.
I really hope isn't complexity
in the aspects. Yeah, but like...
Maybe it's messaging, right?
Maybe it's just a form of messaging and...
Like, I don't know.
This is my opinion. What did you guys think?
Rate it 1 out of 10.
The new showcase.
6.5?
I'm thinking 6.5 is
Yeah,
yeah,
I'm about there. Yeah, 5 to 7
7-5. Yeah, somewhere around that, 7-5 yeah, somewhere around that
I mean again, I try to be
like, I like Diablo 4
I think it's a good game. I do
I genuinely believe that. I'm not memeing
or anything. I actually think Diablo 4 season four is a good game
now is it a good game in terms of like is it better than
poe for a veteran ar. It's not even close.
However, for a casual player
for an average layman
into the ARPG scene
I think Diablo 4 does a great job.
The trailer was epic? I thought the trailer
was okay.
I thought it was okay.
With this cool poison
you can put everywhere,
isn't this poison
a cool mechanic?
What happens if we
shoot it with fire?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, Diablo Immortal is much better?
Oh, I don't know about that.
I bet in the POE stream we're going to see something new.
Oh yeah, bro, like,
We're gonna watch it.
It's coming out in like an hour, right?
Well, now it's going to be be 48 minutes i'm pretty sure so
yeah i'm going to watch it 100 it's not a question
yeah
why do they always showcase low level and terrible movement speed?
Well, if you look at PoE 2 this is also generally
Low Level and Slow Movement Speed
Oh I forgot. This isn't the one where
Jonathan was talking about the game.
But yeah, see
how they're showing it? They're like,
okay, now imagine if we put this on there
and then if we use this skill with this thing, right?
It's like when I watch this
it makes me feel like
you know what it makes me feel like? This is
kind of abstract. It makes
me feel the same way that I felt whenever
I watch phone game advertisements.
And it's like the guy... It's like a
plus three and there is a minus one
and he's at the plus three and then goes into
the minus one and it's like are you idiot why did you do that right
like and then people are like okay i want to play it myself to make sure that like i do it the right
way poe does the same thing but it's the opposite because it just shows you the guy going into the plus three
and then the times five and then getting the machine gun and then the plus 10 and then the
double right and then like that's the way it feels, right? It's like yeah
and then you do this and then you do that.
It's like a phone advertisement
of playing a game in a way
that is fucking awesome
and it makes you want to play the game, right? Like this is fucking awesome and it makes you want to play the game right like this
is fucking awesome sounds like a hottest new mobile game yeah
right and so watch poe 2 act 1 uh final fight boss
fight yeah i've probably I've probably already seen it.
But like this right here...
Oh wow, it's the spitting dick.
Yeah, the spitting dicks have been in POE ever since Oriath.
We've had these in the game forever, it's not
a big deal.
No they are, you guys
it's the red ones. Everybody
knows what I'm talking about.
Yeah, big go with the mobs.
Yeah, yeah, act 4?
Act 4, I don't remember exactly, but yeah.
Anyway, so you've got a lot of this
and I just feel like a lot of this stuff
feels a lot the same.
The ability where
you can have
the two slams
and you can have
the boss in the middle
that's kind of cool.
Hmm. That's kind of cool. But there's not even really an implication
of complexity.
Yeah, I mean that's the way I see it.
We react to PoE League?
I'm not going to read all of the notes and everything
but I will watch
the trailer and all that
absolutely! It is coming out really soon. It's in less than an
hour now. So I'm just watching this
and talking about it right now.
The last PoE league that I played was
I think I played the Necro
something league but I didn't play it enough to like really
understand it that well. I got to like red maps and then i just kind of stopped
But...
...I'm gonna play again I think this league coming up
So we'll see what happens.
But yeah, I'm just like...
Again, I don't think this game...
I don't think it's bad. It's just that...
Ugh. it's just that she's not super exciting I guess like I feel like it's kind of more the same.
Melee's buffed?
Well then maybe I'll play Cyclone or something like that but I kind of want to play a minion build
and also if melee is buff
that means I could just play like a carrion golem physical damage build too.
So maybe that would be a good idea...
...I have no idea.
You playing minion Build every time? No, I haven't
played Minion Build in a long time actually.
Because I did and then people got
bored and I was like okay well I'm going to play something
different now.
But yeah I don't know. I'll figure it I was like, okay, well, I'm going to play something different now. But
yeah, I don't know. I'll figure it out.
Either way,
that's the way I feel about this, right?
I think this is...
Okay. So here we have a boss fight.
Let's look at
the boss fight.
Oh my god so so..... I just it's about gameplay bro this is game playing this is the gameplay.
This is the gameplay right here.
You feel it's boring because PoE 2 has reached a new standard that now every other company
has to compete with?
That's just how it is.
You're right, but I would say even some of the poe one bosses are like kitava i think is a great boss it is and
and in fact they agree with me that's why this boss half of his abilities are Katava abilities.
Yes!
It's not like this is some kind of a fucking secret.
... secret. Well, Chastain
can't talk about arguing and yelling? I don't know
man! Even when Nara and Solaris
is a decent fight? Yeah it is
I fucking hate the fight but those
weird little projectile things
always hit me. But other than
that, yes.
And it's
also like look at the way that the NPC
reacts to damage. Look at the way
there's area denial
and it goes away
and it's just
animations are well telegraphed and this is it's a new boss and and like you're showing
a lot of these these bosses let's see if we can get to any other bosses let me look at
the other bosses in this area okay now we have another boss right here
let's take a look at it
okay so here's here's the new boss
so there's two guys i guess you kill kill one and the other one gets empowered?
Yeah... Okay, this is a good place to go. Yeah.
Okay, this is kind of cool.
This is
above average?
Okay.
But like you can even okay
but like you can even see and here's a really good point that i've tried to bring up before Look at the visuals on how annoying and hard this is to see versus this. You see what I'm saying, right?
It's green on green. Yeah and and this is like something I've criticized
Blizzard for for a long time.
Not even close. Yeah.
They substitute hard to see for difficulty?
Yeah I think so. Like being able
to identify that a mechanic is happening
should not be part of its difficulty.
I find that to be incredibly
cheesy.
... to be incredibly cheesy. It's okay
to run the immersion so
the players can see
the mechanics?
Yeah.
Okay, mechanics. Yeah. I don't know about
Diablo 4 expansion unless I want to play it.
Hey, here's the thing. I bet that Diablo
4 expansion is going to be fun for me to play
and I'm going to enjoy it.
I do. I think I'm going to be fun for me to play, and I'm going to enjoy it. I do.
I think I'm going to enjoy the expansion.
Now,
I think I'm going to enjoy PoE 2 also.
Like, I'm not saying that
the game is going to be bad.
I'm really, really, really not saying that. I'm not saying that the game is going to be bad. I-I'm really, really, really not
saying that. I'm just saying that
I don't think this game seems
very interesting.
Like, a lot of these NPCs are doing basically the same abilities that the base game NPCs do.
I mean it's... A lot it's just the same.
Spiritbomb just feels like Lancemaster from Lost Ark?
Well for me...
I mean
a lot of its abilities
a lot of the Glaive abilities
I'm pretty sure
almost every single one
is the Mystic Spearhand
in Dragon's Dogma 2.
Like, whether it's like
the Charge Dash,
the Throw...
The Return is different
to be fair.
That is different
but that's kind of like the spells as well
like I'm just not you know
it's just it's not like super crazy
but again there's only so many things you can do with
a glaive that's fine right? It's not a big deal
but it's not like it's not a big deal but it's like it's super new
what's uh this is what the difference between work and passion looks like i
can see why people say that that was a pretty cool entrance of these two
bosses.
Yeah, that was pretty good.
I don't want to be
the kind of guy that's just shitting on it for the sake of shitting on it. I really don't want to be like the kind of guy that's just shitting on it for the sake
of shitting on it.
I really don't want to do that.
So this is another new boss.
This is the same boss.
We all know that mechanic is different. That's a new mechanic. That mechanic's the same. Is she gonna do the petrify you have to run away from
let me see
looks like no it's just more area denial. I feel like a lot of their spell effects are really messy.
Like, there's a certain type
of, like...
visual flashiness
that games like this have,
and it makes it easy for you to see what's happening.
Whereas I think
Diablo has much more muted colors
and because of that, it's hard to see what's happening.
It's like the con- yeah,
the contrast is very problematic
especially if you go back and look at this for example
And this has been something I've criticized
about Diablo for a while.
Let me go back and look at this.
Like, I don't know.
I don't really think it looks very good.
Like what's really happening here?
Look at Last Epoch
New Pinnacle boss and then look at what Diablo 4 has
Oh yeah I saw some guy
kill them for the first time
in hardcore the other day
I saw that
Is it muted visuals? I think this wouldn't matter if the game was more fun.
Yeah, but I think that one of the reasons why the game isn't fun is because
The majority of mechanics that the game has
Is area denial so it makes it hard to melee the boss.
It's annoying.
So yeah, that's generally the way I look at it. I think again it was
6.5
Looking at some of this more in-depth footage
i mean it it's okay right but that's about it
so a nature boss
in the nature environment using nature spells,
should it be colors of different elements?
No, but the way
that the colors... so there are a lot of
different versions of green that you can do
And I think that
While yes it's important to have
Immersion, I think that
If the game is hard to see
And you're getting hit by things that you can't
see, I feel like
immersion takes a seat
compared to that.
Immersion is second place
to gameplay.
I think immersion is like second place to gameplay where like I think immersion is really important and you should have Immersion but it should never come at the expense of Gameplay maybe not never
right you can never say never but in almost all circumstances it should
not come at the expense of gameplay and i think also like i mean if you look at lilith
right lilith has like terrible visuals right bad. So that's really what I'm
talking about more, more so than anything
else.
So yeah, I mean
that's
it's okay, but
you know like these flowers
right? You've got the elven ring flowers
kind of I guess. Like I'm not really sure
exactly how this works
If there was an option to toggle on more visibility
for non-immersive colors everyone would
enable it that's a very good point yeah you're right about that
should they remove all ui to make the game more immersive well no because the
ui is helpful right and it adds gameplay And that's what I'm saying, right?
It's like...it's very hard for you
to ever say this is what they should
always do or this is what they should never do.
However, I think in almost
all circumstances, things that reduce visibility and make the game harder because of it are not fun to play against.
Like, in just a general sense, whether this is a spell effect combination...
This is a good effect combination uh like this is a good example right so look at the way this is designed look at that how the fuck are you supposed to see
that look at that visual right there There's no reason why it has to be like this. Who decided this?
Yeah, I can't even see it. And also like there are going to
be people, oh, it's not ready yet!
Yeah well the stuff that they released was
and it was the same thing.
And we didn't see it until you moused over? Still better than PoE 1?
Look, I mean...
So you're comparing
PoE 1 visibility to this?
I mean, that's...
I mean, they're both really bad.
Okay?
Like, I am not going to defend POE1 visibility
because I've complained about the same thing
i agree with you i think you're right
but i mean the game's evolved right and and it's like
it's much easier to see what's happening
at least on the screen, right?
Like look at that. That's
very easy to see what's happening.
It-it's about the vibrancy of the colors and it stands out so much like you're not gonna miss this.
It's not like oh I didn't see that how the fuck do you not see this?
It's a bright fucking pillar of light.
Like even nose right there.
Massive bright lights.
After we get dodge rolls
it means that we can get indicators changed too right?
Yeah of course.
Yeah and I think PoE knows they have a visibility problem.
So yeah look how easy it is to see what's happening.
So that's the way I see it.
That's what I think.
Obviously, yeah, those are my opinions about the trailer.
That's what I think about it, etc., right?
There it is.
Why does Immortal look better than this?
I don't think it does.
I think Diablo Immortal is a bad game,
it's trash.
It's not better than Diablo 4.
Yeah,
I don't know,
like that,
it's funny to say it,
hey,
it's very funny to say it but I don't
really think it's true, okay?
Like let's be honest. I don't think it's true.
Can you turn on PoE drops?
Oh yeah! Let me see if I can do that.
Uh... Drops and Path me see if i can do that uh drops and path of exile 3.5 announcement okay
i think that everybody just gets drops by being in the category.
Is that accurate?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I'll just do that.
Whenever it comes in I'll go ahead and join for that.
Yeah, I just looked it up because there's
like a menu page where it tells me all the stuff that you can get
and that's pretty much it let's see if there's anything else i was going to
look at before we get started with this right because there's a number of other
things as well i was was going to try...
Oh, here we go! Asmon picking
a new game to stream.
Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk,
Remnant 1 and 2 in indies,
or a new gacha game. Oh boy!
Oh boy, oh boy. Let's read
some of these. I'm going to reverse
psychology this dude? It's not gonna work bro.
Anytime people try to push me to do
something it makes me not want to do it. That's just the way
I am. That's the way my brain is programmed.
Actually could somewhat work.
Yeah, gotcha doesn't require any effort. You play
one, you play all of them? Yeah, of course, right?
I mean, yeah, I'll gear rising in again anytime soon played
starfield and hated it uh i'll ignore this perfectly good no man's gun remain ignorant
of what made a good game people always get really mad about me not playing or playing a certain game.
I want to let you guys know that this will not change any of my behaviors
or what i'm going to play, it doesn't matter if you're complaining about
the games that I'm playing, you'll probably just
get banned. I just don't want to deal with it. I don't want to hear
it. I don't want to see it. If I played
the game that everybody wants me to play
I wouldn't play any game ever because
everybody is going to like some games. People are going to not like other
games. There are also games that people are very vocal
about but they don't actually really like watching. That's very common
so it's like yeah yeah, oh yeah, everybody
likes this game but people actually don't want to watch and see somebody play it. Guys, this is not
going to happen, right? Like I'll play whatever the fuck I feel like it or maybe not play anything
at all, right right it just depends

It was Hubris that wrote me into this timeline, and with Hubris I will continue.
This is a good one! Like, I'm gonna be real this is actually fucking funny.
Games are fun? What's this?
Gotcha bitch!
Fuck em'. gotcha
was it pub g pfft Jesus. This is about me?
What the fuck?
Oh, I'm gonna die!
I'm gonna die!
I'm gonna die!
I'm gonna die! This is about me. What the Oh my god!
What the fuck is going on?
Who the fuck watches this? Like 12 year old girls with mental
disorders?
We got dragons
before GTA 6. What?
The skin of a reptile that predates the dinosaurs was found in Oklahoma.
This is it. It's fossilized. They've never seen anything like it before and this reptile doesn't exist. Uh-huh.
This was found in the Richard Spur Cave
in Elgin, Oklahoma
And the reason why it was so well preserved
is because sediment fell into this cave
and locked everything that had been alive in there inside of the cave
for hundreds of millions of years. It was only due to the circumstances
of the preservation that allowed it to be preserved like this,
it's not normal for them
to find skin. This is 20 million years
older than the oldest skin
that they have found that's been fossilized.
And it's pre-dinosaur.
This thing was not a dinosaur, it was pre- dinosaur. So hard to reprimand Wow. And this was on our planet in Oklahoma. Scientists are assuming that it kind of looks like a crocodile maybe because it kind of has crocodile-ish skin?
No, it's a dragon.
It was something else I've never seen before. Just thought that was cool! No, it's a dragon. It's a dragon.
Yep!
Yeah, it's a dragon bro they're real.
See? See there it is. There's one right there.
Just look at him!
Steam review is always helpful. What is this shit?
First, this review
isn't about the actual game...
Oh god. Schedule of buying this game
Yeah Jesus I already saw this before
sneak 100 had to get into a cinema for free what is man this is so stupid
he's standing still. I don't see anything.
He's going away.
Here it comes. He's going away Oh I'm sorry. Yes, I can get it. He's standing there in the corner.
Oh my god.
Now, I probably assume these guys are like...
Bruh, I'm getting 13 an hour yeah you
yeah yeah but i don't give a fuck so no like yeah they're just doing some
shaking it's funny right like they probably saw this immediately and
they're like, yeah, I don't get paid enough to actually like do I really
want to start a conflict with a man dressed up like a bush trying to get
in to see an $8 movie?
No, I don't.
I don't want to deal with this.
This is not
my job description.
I'm not security.
It's not my problem.
Uh-uh.
Not dealing
with it.
$8?
I don't know. That's probably the last
time I went there was $8. There's probably a lot
more, though. Big tech withholds its
products in the EU due to regulation?
Well, that's only going to last for
so long because eventually they have to exist in those markets.
So they'll cave to it eventually.
Yeah, if they're mad, they can't use our data for free and fuck them.
That's right.
So I wish if more companies and more places did places did this excuse me then the companies would just
uh immediately change their policies and stop doing that yeah i i don't think this meant
anything with elon steak and Eggs, but you know.
Maybe one day we'll see
Elon on the podcast. That would be fucking crazy.
That'd be really cool. We'll see what
happens. But yeah, there it is.
Drops are enabled.
Is it enabled already?
I'll swap over in a few minutes, okay?
Bro unlock the hidden move.
Breath.
Breath.
I didn't even get it the first time.
That's fucking good!
Holy shit, easy dodge? Yeah!
Why cut my daughter out of my will?
I'm not gonna watch a one and a half hour video
Of this, that's insane.
What's this?
What the fuck is this?
See,
This is the reason, bro
This is the reason right here
that I can't respect YouTube's decision
to take away monetization
from people
that do a gun sponsor
How the fuck from people that do a gun sponsor.
How the fuck do you have these
obvious fucking scam
games that are just ripping
it's literally a screenshot
of Elven Ring. It's not even like of Elden Ring.
It's not even like a, you know, recharacterization.
It's a screenshot of Elden Ring and somehow this is okay.
You're making money off of this but but this is too much? Get the
fuck out of here. What a joke.
They don't know the difference and they don't care?
Yeah, want us to pay for the ads on YouTube?
YouTube has to pay their creators? I know! It's so
annoying. What's this here here the real opinions of chinese players
on the genshin impact twitter incident oh boy oh boy oh boy.
So this should come as a surprise to absolutely no one.
But so this has been like a controversy Genshin Impact is adding a new zone.
People think that the new zone is inspired by native cultures
and, you know,
black and darker-skinned cultures
and the characters
that are added into
the game are not representing those skin tones in a way that people on
twitter think that they should so um anyway
this is what's happened billy billy
is a really popular website on china uh
this is it's like kind of like chinese
youtube it's not but it's like close to
that
so nat line characters big dramas here that have been protests on Twitter because
of skin color. So let's read some
of the comments and these are the comments
from actual people in
China which by the way are the
people that they actually listen to.
The Western internet is always like this,
so-called correctness
is valued more than the quality of the story
but miHoYo shouldn't care about it.
Do you know what I fucking love about them?
Is that they are so
direct.
It's insane.
Even they know. Yeah bro, they know, of course
they know. Absolutely.
Yeah I see no one, yeah I have common sense
they're very dry. Overall it's very good
what's the problem? Must everyone have dark skin?
Doesn't dark skin look a bit out of place
being slightly tan enough
so the reason why
this happens I'm going to explain why
it's because everybody in China
is basically probably Chinese.
And so, they
don't have this sense of
guilt of like, oh well there was
slavery and this racism
stuff. They don't really care about that.
There's nothing
stopping them from just saying
there's no white guilt or something like that
over there. They just say whatever the hell they think.
Actually, it's important what they they do this is what we all think
but that's racist america
oh god replied to the upper comment, yep there it is.
And so this is the truth! This is really
the reason why. It's actually proven that government supports racism
in China. Pull me up if you want proof?
Really?! Next thing your going to tell me is there's proof that
there are actually fish in the ocean. I would have never guessed!
What?! Really?! You think that's happening, a pull-me-up guy?
I don't want to pull you up why
we know this replying to the upper comment it wouldn't be necessarily
the us but quite a few u.s cops would agree with that statement oh my god
this is see this is the thing
They're actually racist!
They're actually fucking racist and that's the thing
So this is the truth right? The next one
is insane.
Oh God
They actually say to respect the culture but every word from them is about
stereotypes. This can only move themselves and...
Okay this one's super fucking racist!
We're not even reading this one. It's useless
to protest in a country that doesn't spend
any money.
There it is.
So they think Americans don't spend money,
so miyoyo shouldn't listen to them.
No wonder Sweet Baby Inc
has grown so big. Their suffering is
worthy of their perception.
Oh my god!
Second video, isn't NatLens prototype South American? I think
South America doesn't even recognize their main ethnic group as black.
I have no idea where did the people say who started the triangular trade? No idea at all. There it is.
There it is right there.
Oh my god, just don't play it if you don don't like it, go play something else.
There is a simple
rule in this world. What do
want the world to be like? Support
what you want with the money you have
in your hand.
MiHoYo should just give die and you can die the characters. Isn't this old drama?
It was the same drama at the time of Sumeru,
it was a big deal on the western internet but in the end it didn't work
out man john is wrestler throwing money?
I guess so.
Can you link this whenever it's done?
A joke, their culture of like Samurai
Assassin's Creed but they won't let Genshin have ethnic
characters like the double standard's crazy.
So
this is what's crazy about your comment
okay? Is that this
is the mind of a person who tries to find
double standards on the internet.
You're so fucking stupid you don't realize that these are Chinese
people and
Yasuke was in
Japan. These are, I
understand, maybe to you might think they
look the same so it's all the same
and so there actually just racist but in
fact i think your the one that is a fucking
racist get the fuck out of here
Get the fuck outta here your want to see her shit
oh my god
he doesn't even know
and this is the mind of a person
who tries to find and perceive double standards
on the internet.
Stupid! Just plain stupid!
Abner beta, yep, actual brain damage, there it is.
First of all we have to know one thing The Genshin Impact is a Chinese game
And MiHoYo is a Chinese game company
And the so-called political correctness from the Western world doesn't work on us
And we don't have to do things
according to their ideas.
As for the game,
the most basic thing is
the experience of the game
and the most fundamental goal
is to provide ourselves with happiness
and that's what we're trying to do.
There it is.
And so they're right, by the way,
um...
That miHoYo only listens to...
What do you call it?
They only listen to...
Let me see if I can find this real quick.
Fuck.
Goddamn, I forgot a lot of these.
Yeah. So here we go. So recently Genshin Impact made
a change to a character in the game
There was a change within less than 24 hours.
Instant-fuckin'-taneously they changed it.
That's the way it is!
It's a Chinese company and when
there's a bunch of American
privileged girls
typing on Twitter I can't believe this is
happening this is so racist
oh my god this is so bad.
I'm never going to play this game again!" And they're playing the game at the same time.
The developers that make the game, they can't even read
that. They don't speak
English. They have no idea
you're saying this.
They don't even know it's happening.
They probably
do? Oh, yeah. No, they probably are like
oh, yeah, a community manager told us
some Americans are getting mad. Yeah, well that's
just what they do and fuck them
That's probably what they think
Isn't Twitter blocked in China?
Yeah it probably is too, that's a good point
Let me see if I can find this real quick
and get into it give me one second um
so path of exile there it is and we will look at this
make sure And we will look at this.
Make sure I've got it ready,
and its about to start in just a little bit.
This way you guys can get the drops for the game.
Okay. But yeah, I thought that was pretty funny to show you guys
okay we're good they did this on the same day?
They did.
Excited, yeah we're gonna see what's going on with this.
That's why Asian games have been booming lately?
I think that's actually a big factor.
I do.
I-I think that a lot of people are fatigued from any degree
of like uh
like social posturing or like virtue signaling in games
and so anytime that people see it they immediately lose interest in the game
i think it's actually a massive factor, huge factor.
Clint wants to see Magic Find Gear removed from PoE, what do you think of that?
I think he is right, I think Magic Find gear is silly.
Uh, I don't want to see it removed
in POE 1. I think they shouldn't put it
in POE 2 though.
I think Magic Find should be
achieved in a different way.
I don't think that Magic Find is bad fundamentally,
but I think that making the decision between Magic Find and better gear
is an unfun decision to make. I don't know yet.
I guess we'll probably talk a little bit about POE2, maybe a
little bit but other than that you know
we're going to look at the league and then probably after that I'll go and do some other stuff
I gotta look at other videos and things like that. But well least watch the announcement right?
Magic find gear equals juice your maps with gear yeah exactly
i want to play a game not twitter correctness exactly and like it's also
that a lot of the games have the same values.
So it's like...
I think people just don't want to be told what to think,
It's really just that simple.
They don't wanna be told what to think by some weirdo
that lives in California.
Straight up. So, like
anytime they feel like that's happening
it's very off-putting
You wanna see three minutes of us
dying and Max? Yeah if you send this to my mods Do you want to see three minutes of us dying in Naxx?
Yeah, if you send it to my mod so they can link it to me or something.
That'd be funny to look at.
I hope he'll log into the room with me anyway. Well, I-I'll try it out.
I'll get into it a bit.
Can we cover Bangladesh at some point?
Uh...
You've been typing about that too much.
Uh... Yeah. Yeah, you did.
You typed it too many times.
Are you getting paramed?
Yeah.
And again...
It's not because I don't care about your issue.
It's because you're annoying.
It's just... I don't care about your issue, it's because you're annoying. It's just that I don't want people to keep spamming the same thing until they get my attention
I already told you I didn't wanna look at it yesterday and you did it again so you can just par-ban
That's it. Literally literally instant you're done
anybody who like repeat messages me to do stuff you're you're done
something wrong with yourself just play a game of chess you You gonna be screaming racist for wanting to play chess?
Yeah, for sure!
Okay...
There's one thing we told it to think
in the DIA countries are part of this problem but korea
and china uh diversity equity inclusion doesn't make sense there and it's insane
well i think really the truth is that a lot of people just don't want to be...
They don't wanna be confronted
with, like, real-life social politics
when they're playing a video game.
And for better or for worse,
the inclusion of certain types
of characters is perceived that way
by the majority of the audience.
I don't know about the majority but at least
the majority of the online audience
that's vocal about it. i think that's a big factor
let's see here
hmm Let's see here. With DEI as a foreign import specifically to cause chaos that we're seeing today?
Well, propaganda is only as useful as you let it be.
So it doesn't really matter whether it's propaganda or not
It matters whether people believe it and are acting on it
so yeah, that's the way I see at least whether people believe it and are acting on it.
So, yeah that's the way I see it at least.
But these people didn't play the damn games they complained about?
Oh in some cases cases yeah you're right
also as an asian i believe the family values are critical at this point because the population dropped yeah i don't know why that's happening i mean i'm going to be totally honest with
you like that seems like a very complex issue
and I can't even begin to understand that.
You want me to watch you play at League Start?
Maybe yeah, I don't know.
I haven't really decided what I am going to play or anything like that majority of gamers don't
care enough about politics to be on either side of the spectrum these expect all the time well
i think again like it's about people that i think people just don't want to be told what to think right they
don't want to be told what to think they don't want to be like they're playing a video game
to relax and i think when they see something that is what they believe to be an agenda,
they can't relax because now they feel like they have to be
on guard. It's like's like, okay, now...
I was out of the real world
and now I'm back in the real world.
You can't escape. Yeah, people want to
escape away from that ship.
And it's like you can say, well, well that's bad you shouldn't want to escape away
from it you can call you you can uh you can guilt people into whatever
you want to try to guilt them into but that's not going to stop the behavior.
Well, most people don't think that far.
I-I think that they do.
I think they think I don't want to see this shit
This is like real life
It's annoying
I thought this was just supposed
to be a game.
I think that's the way a lot of people think about it
because you remember back when
there were football players that wouldn't
stand for the national anthem.
That's what everybody said too,
because it's just like people want to watch a video game
they don't wanna hear about somebody's
football player opinion about
fucking
social
politics. About the police, right?
Yeah, they just
don't give a shit about that. They don't want to see it,
they don't wanna hear about it... It's fucking annoying.
Especially whenever it's a person that's in a position of privilege, right?
It's like there's a guy here who like you know-
Like anybody who is in the NFL or any sort of those places, they've won
the genetic lottery. Right? And I'm not
talking about just being tall or something like that
Like there's just physiologically, right
They've won the genetic lottery. They also
were lucky and are getting paid millions of dollars
And they are complaining about the country that's paying them millions of dollars
Yeah, you're going to see a lot of people who are mad at that. Absolutely
It's not even a question.
Yeah, Concord... yeah, Concord...
The game gave it robot pronouns.
What?
Yeah, it's insane.
Like what are you even talking about?
Some proven games don't make us violent why would they make us sexist?
Because the people that are saying saying they make you sexist
their idea of sexist is being attracted to women who don't look like they do.
That's the reason why? Pretty simple.
In almost all circumstances think of the dumbest and most self-serving reason why something is happening and that's
why it's happening
must have in a lot of ways, yeah it is.
Conquer Devs thought the only reason hero shooters are popular
was because people identify with them
and then they made the most ugly
and annoying heroes ever.
Exactly, yeah.
It's like, yeah,
people identify with the characters.
Like do you want to know why people like Mercy?
It's because she's hot.
Like that's the reason.
Like what the fuck?
I'm pretty sure Overwatch porn is more popular than overwatch at this
point it's probably been like that for years
yeah what are we even talking about
oh he has characters, I was pissed. Yeah, anytime that I see a game with ugly characters I immediately assume the games gonna be garbage because I think that this person like they
are prior- Like nobody wants to look at an ugly fat character.
What are we talking about?
Nobody wants to see this it's's disgusting. So, if I
see it on screen what that means is
that this person's world view
is more important than what the audience
wants to see and
think that will be represented in gameplay as well.
So to me, it's like a
mining canary. I see ugly characters
and I think to myself this game is going to be
complete garbage.
Trash.
Disindinuous to people yeah you know if you want to date hot
people
yeah it's like yeah yeah people oh but
it looks like you yeah I know that's the
problem why do you think I'm I know, that's the problem.
Why do you think I'm playing a role-playing game?
Yeah yeah, see now you see where I'm seeing.
Versus they pretend it's not the case?
I know, man.
I know.
Delusional.
So delusional.
I'm fat and it's true.
I want to look like
a fit character. Yeah, like, I'm not and it's true. I want to look like a fit character?
Yeah, like I'm not giving my characters
you know, male pattern baldness
You know, I'll do it on stream as a joke
but no!
If you look at my WoW character
he's got the coolest hair.
Now to be fair that character when I was um...
How old was I? Uh like 18? 17 or 18?
At that point I still had hair so I thought when I got older I was gonna have hair like my WoW character. It's too bad, huh?
Just too bad. But yeah! That was
the idea. Yeah, little did he know...
that's right.
How old is your WoW character? Since 2006, I made him in July.
Can I make the air transplant? I probably have to take the medication which is why I'm kind of waffling on it.
Why do male people want to play female characters?
I personally don't...
I view playing a role-playing game as me
being in the game. Other people
looking at the character...
I don't really have a...I think it's weird
and anytime that I have the option to play a male or female character
The only time that I choose a female character. The only time that I choose
a female character is like Apex Legends
where it's like, who was the character
that I wanted to play? Dribalter
because I thought he was cool.
He's fat! And so every, like you
just... somebody sprays
and they hit every-every hit
because you're so big
So I'm like okay I have to play Wraith
I have to play Lifeline or something like this
because the character's so fat.
It's...
I didn't even want to do it.
He goes, oh, he got a 50 shield.
Yeah, they're going gonna aim above the shield.
You gonna play League Vampire Star Wars?
Yeah I will probably...probably not today but um
Well not today, I'm not going to be playing it today
Hi Hi, I'm Chris Wilson from Grinding Gear Games.

the league mechanics, its new and revised
crafting systems...
Yeah, we'll watch this first part here.

We'll then talk about our console native port releases

Finally, we'll show you our new

exos game director mark your questions from twitch chat
after the livestream will drop the full patch notes i'll hand over to mark now introduce the new league
we're really innovative with the content in this league okay i'm really excited to see what
everyone thinks let's do it so let's just get right into it with the trailer for path of exile
settlers of cowgirl
30k words patch notes.
This isn't even PoE 2 in it already looks like Diablo 4.
Welcome to Kingsmarch!
It's not much yet, but with your help we can erect the greatest city Raycast has ever seen.
We'll need resources...
and savvy planning.
Wow!
Soon will attract settlers,
craftsmen,
fortune Craftsmen, fortune seekers and of course pirates. But if we prevail, our ships will be heavy with gold. We hope to achieve the impossible we hope to build a home Ha ha ha!
Respected...
Currency ex-
Bro. Bro, bro Bro!
Bro!
Bruh...
No!
Melee rebalance?
Maybe I play slam. This is fucking funny, man.
This is really funny.
In Path of Exile Settlers of Kalgur you will encounter some familiar faces from the
Expedition League. Wow! Danig,
Rogg, Tujan and
Gwennon are Calgarian people who
are trying to establish trade between
Wraeclast and their homeland.
They have recruited many curious characters from Wraeclast,
including some you may recognise
but are also seeking help of a powerful exile like yourself!
You will first counter Johan the king's hand and lionize watch he's there recruiting workers traders
and exiles Johan under the command of the King of Kalgar,
has been sent here to build a new city
called Kingsmarch, which
intends to become the hub of commerce
between Wraeclast and Kalgar.
Soon he will bring you to the planned site for King's March
which you'll notice has humble beginnings as just a tavern in a field
but with your help it won't stay like this for long
It takes
a lot to build a town. The
Kalguurans will ask you to seek out resources
that can be used to begin construction.
On your adventures, you might find
minerals such as crimson on bro
what are things of iron that have been overrun with corruption
spawning dangerous photos when you approach
or perhaps another circular area the swans mobs. My favorite.
Petrified ammo
attracts mindless, blighted enemies.
While Bismuth
has a strong affinity to the elements
and causes the area to become unsteep. Ooh! The
calundra! If you are lucky, you might
find Varisium, a material
as valuable as it is dangerous
and guarded by very powerful
foes. Once you defeat these monsters,
the deposit will automatically be
tagged for mining. Maybe a little bit of this was
inspired from No Rest For The Wicked.
This is of course a trade expedition and nothing is free.
Miners along with other workers that the Calgarans have hired must be paid in cold hard gold
which you'll notice is now dropping throughout Wraeclast. So wait, you're getting gold about who gets hired into your enterprise
Once you have accumulated some gold head to the town and talk to the recruiter Rolf
He's been busy tracking down hardy folk across Wraeclast who have working good work.
You'll notice each person has their specialties...
...and a wage cost.
It will be up to you to hire and fire as you please. their specialties and a wage cost.
It'll be up to you to hire and fire as you please. This is...
Over the course of the league, you'll be searching
for your perfect employees for each job.
Once you have them,
you'll have to keep them paid, safe and alive.
Which we'll get into later.
Here we have a prospect
who has a specialty in mining.
We'll start with that
so he can begin
to retrieve some of those resources
we were talking about earlier.
Let's go find some ore and put our miner to use.
Oh, jeez...
Oh! We found a vein of Orakalcum Ore.
It's guarded by dangerous demons worshipping
a strange shrine.
The shrine buffs the demons, giving
them power, but once you defeat
them, you can seize that power for yourself.
After that we can tag the ore and our mining specialist will get to work.
You didn't even need to click it! Did you notice that?
Soon, we encounter a few more deposits.
Each with a different dangerous encounter.
After you have tagged the mineral veins your miners will get to work collecting resources in real time.
They might take awhile but will continue whether you are logged
in or not. The work can be sped up by hiring more
or better miners and by upgrading the mining station
back in Kingsmarch to equip them with advanced pickaxes.
Alright, some time has passed
and our miners have been able
to get the resources back to town.
We've also managed to collect some more gold too.
We can now upgrade the town and build new structures
there's plenty of options we just need to decide where to start
i think we'll start with the tavern the beating heart of king's march it can be upgraded instantly to improve
the recruiter's prospects and you can find various important npcs relaxing
here next we'll upgrade our mining station.
You can upgrade this to improve the efficiency of your miners
and allocate our newly hired workers to mining.
You will eventually need a smelter...
This is just funny....where you can send your ore to turn into more valuable bars.
Then we have the disenchanter,
Where you bring your magic, rare or unique items to be added to a queue
to be disenchanted over time.
The items will be broken down into
Thaumaturgic Dust,
a new resource used for crafting and shipping we'll get more into that later
and of course a town needs food you could invest in funds where
you can select crops to grow and harvest.
But don't worry, you won't be manually watering anything.
Ah the wonders of delegation.
With all these resources piling up, there will be excess that we can spend.
Let's talk about rewards and settlers of Kalguurin.
Eventually you can build a harbor
and establish shipping routes between a number of different Calgary and Qadari ports for trade. Oh my god
you'll be able to file your acquired resources onto these ships and send them to a port of your children like
Where your traders will haggle for the best deals each port will return specific rewards based on what you send them they accept
all types of resources but we'll have a preferred type that they'll currently pay more for.
By the way, low-key worldbuilding here?
And you'll want to get onto this... Holy shit!
...because eventually you could be bringing in shipments like THIS.
This...
Or even this.
Go back to the other one Oh today we're going to trade with cowgirl
what you'll notice that as we send more resources who risk me to creeps up much like the dangers on the shores of ray class
there are dangers out at sea. Monsters, pirates...
environmental hazards
You'll want to try keep your shipments safe
You can do this by hiring workers that specialize
in shipping The more of them you add to the ship the
less risk there will be oh my god like this gentleman who's famous for fending
off even the most dangerous of pirates now let's get that shipment going and
we'll continue exploring ray class while we wait for its return
this is the first path of exile league that experiments with true
real-time mechanics. You can send out shipments, go and have
lunch, and come back to your rewards! Uh... maybe it's true yeah. Many mechanics in the league work this way
so you'll always have some ongoing project or outcome to look forward to.
Holy shit!
When your shipment has returned,
Or met its demise,
You'll get notified.
And at your leisure,
You can return to the town to collect your rewards.
Our shipment returns safely. So let's go see what we got
oh they've sent us a unique item alongside our reward i just perhaps hoping to secure
us as a loyal customer for the future. That's crazy!
Aside from shipping, the Calgarans are big on their technology
Imagine that with the brass dome!
God, that's fucking
great- let's see that! She is an engineer who
the Calgarans have employed for a very exciting purpose.
It's garbage?
You're not the only one who understands how profitable running maps can be.
Once at in-game, Isla can help you build a series of Calguran modified map devices.
You can then put a queue of maps into them.
If you've hired a few skilled Atlas runners, they will put themselves to work running those maps for you one after another.
Look!
More delegation!
Once again, you'll be notified when
the rewards are ready to be collected.
You can put lots of maps in the queue,
so don't feel obliged to go back there all the time.
So you can put your reflect maps in there?
Be careful though.
The difficulty of the map impacts
the risk of your workers perishing.
Wait, they're permanently killed?
Try to pick your best workers or perhaps just ones you don't like.
Consider the difficulty too.
This is... dude-
Sometimes it's better to just run it yourself
i you'll see there are many benefits to having a whole ass town at your fingertips
a whole last town let's talk about crafting services.
You should definitely consider building a runesmithing table.
This is operated by Danik himself, using powerful Kalguurin blacksmith arts.
He can engrave runic magic
onto your weapons using runes.
There are many
rune types and combinations to choose from
and you can unlock new crafts
that can be applied to your weapons as enchantments.
Our design intention here is to take powerful effects
you would usually only find on unique items,
like this butterfly which you might recognize from Doomfletcher's Prism.
Danig can apply it to your two-hand maces.
Oh my fucking god.
There are over 100 different special crafting outcomes, ranging from ones very easily applied
to very difficult.
The rune types can be acquired through trade with Kal'gur or defeating powerful bosses.
The Kalguuran tech benefits don't end there.
We're also bringing back a formerly overpowered crowd favorite, Recombination.
No! Isla is trying to master this. crowd favorite. Recombination.
No!
Isla is trying to master this.
This was such a good mechanic.
The system isn't as strong as it used to be, but
still allows you to combine two items together hoping
to get the best modifiers of each onto a single item
wow between running a town, shipping and exploring
you'll be collecting a lot of extra gold.
Will you stream this? What do you think?
This is now the primary resource for two huge new quality
of life features that we are putting to test.
Okay here we go.
Firstly, you can use gold to respec passive points.
This is a feature from Path of Exile 2
that we've decided just makes sense
to port back.
Thank you.
The higher level you are
the more expensive it gets thank you
and the next one is absolutely yes
a currency trademark
the calgarians have recruited faustus, another NPC from the Heist League.
He allows you to assist players with buying and selling currency
and most other stackable items
with other players without the nuisance of price fixes and people who never respond
true all you need to do is select what currency you want i say what you have
i'm losing my mind it works kind of like i'm actually losing my fucking mind! It works kinda like a real life stuff, man.
I'm actually losing my fucking mind.
Ah- the other end for the same rate or less you'll be able to go back to blasting monsters while trusty faustus does the dirty work
notifying you when your currency is ready for collection
all you need to do is pay him a small amount of gold
for his time.
Cards on the table,
there's an experiment
to see if this type of asynchronous trading
has a place in future Path of Exile releases.
I think it does, I really do.
For currency only! Currency only,
not gear, currency only. Now, given that
Faustus is an expert in black market
trade and shady deals, he also
provides another service. Offering items for gold. The items will generate with
random rarity and on average the modifiers on them are better than normal. This can be
a very nice way to get some targeted items during the campaign
For serious crafters. It can be a great starting point for making those
132 items which perhaps you could take to the runesmith afterwards I 32?
That's beyond T1!
No, that's past it. T1 is like at 80.
90? Yeah. I think it's very nice. It features three endgame bosses that will close in on your operations, wanting a piece of the pie. They might capture and ransom your workers... even your entire ships.
You'll have to make some tough decisions. Will you take them on? Pay them off?
One example of a boss is Sasan, the Bandit Lord.
You won't stumble across this boss by accident
instead, this unsavoury character can come into your town across this boss by accident. Instead,
this unsavory character can come into your town at night
and take your Atlas Runners hostage
holding them for ransom.
What happens next is up to you.
Perhaps you'll refuse to negotiate with bandits...
And you kill them?
...leaning into a fight to defeat Sasan and rescue your workers.
If you're not up for the heroics,
you might simply pay the ransom in gold or perhaps these
workers were especially disappointing
and you'll just leave them for dead
intrude ray-class fashion they knew what
they were signing up for right?
Of course the heroics might be worth it for other reasons these bosses can drop new unique items of course
Figured a socketed elements
that spell on block?
A reflective block poet's pen!
...and can't wait to share them with you i think it's more than two seconds one second five this expansion
let me talk about balance well we finally rebalanced the Gladiator. It's been a long time coming. Like
before there are passive skills that allow you to invest in bleeding and block. we've designed new skills replacing some of the old ones
like this war of attrition which is very handy for long sustained boss fights.
Further alongside the gladiator theme, this new passive allows you to combine different weapon types
while dual wielding
to get a variety of powerful bonuses.
For example
holding a dagger will give you more critical strike chance
while holding a mace gives you more area of effect. Of course,
You could just use Aranastra for all weapon type bonuses.
Oh my god!
And finally, we have a new notable which allows you to invest in the newly added Retaliation
Skills.
These are active skills which require you to meet a certain condition in order to use them.
Once you meet that condition, you can unleash devastation on your foes.
Here we have Eviscerate, which requires you to have a shield.
Okay.
Or for those who like to dual wield, Swordstorm,
which is great for obliterating bosses.
It's kind of like the one thing that I what's interesting skill this one has the condition requiring you to block you can
then unleash a devastating spell causing lightning bolts to strike the ground in an X-shape around your target location, doing huge amounts of damage.
And of course, in true Path of Ex exile fashion there are many avenues to invest
in these mechanics further on the passive tree and a new support gym you were able
to increase the leeway duration after meeting the condition, reduce
the cooldowns or just increase their damage.
The world's your oyster.
The Gladiator wasn't the only SNSE class we've changed.
As we develop Path of Exile systems, we often find ourselves I'm just thinking if that could work with something like a Wargloove.
No, no! As such, the Raider ascendancy class found itself lacking. No no it wouldn't because its not damage taken to block
We want our ascendency classes to always feel like they're pushing the boundaries
Allowing you to change your character in ways
that are meaningful and ideally unique.
Uh-huh. As a result,
we've straight up removed the raider.
Rest in peace.
And we've added a new class
in its place, Theen just largely inspired by
its predecessor from The Affliction League with a few changes okay
the Warden now focuses on elemental attacks, changing the behavior of Shock...
Okay.
Enhancing Freeze...
Two second freeze?
And replacing Ignite with Scorch.
That's insane!
There is also a skill that allows you
to go ballistic with your elemental damage
periodically.
The class also grant Barkskin,
which is a skill that can be
used to mitigate physical damage from hits.
After taking a number of hits, it increases your evasion, making it
a great defensive choice.
Finally the last thing the Warden can can specialize in is Tinctures.
These are an alternative to flasks from the Affliction League.
We're bringing them back with adjusted mechanics. we played this a little bit i didn't play it enough to know understand it
yeah i was is that good can be played i didn't play it a lot replacing flasks
you can inherently only have one tincture active at a time
and it requires a melee weapon to use. While activated they grant
a powerful buff, they can drop as magic items or be modified with currency to
grant extra bonuses.
Here is a Prismatic Tincture.
This one increases elemental damage by 100% while active.
You'll notice it has two extra effects, one is that it applies
Mana Burn every second. Mana Burn is a debuff that builds up while Tinctures are active
that causes you to lose mana.
Losing more mana for each stack.
Tinctures also have a cooldown!
So once you've disabled one, no other Tincture can be enabled for a time.
Okay so that way you can't spam them.
These changes make Tincture Use a more active and interesting
choice than it was in Affliction.
Both Mana Burn and the cooldown
can be modified through modifiers on the tinctures
or on the passive skill tree.
Players will want to maximize their tincture
uptime for sure.
Here we have a couple other
tinctures. The Poisonberry
Tincture is excellent for poison builds. The Roset Berry Tincture is excellent for poison builds.
The Rosethaler Tincture is the choice for those wanting to deal critical strikes.
You might be wondering, with the removal of the radar where has
the frenzy charge investment gone we've added a frenzy charge passive
skill to the dead eye replacing the rupture passive skill okay
on top of this fantasy classes we have revisited a number Okay. I've never played Raider.
Okay.
... skill gems, and simple items. We don't want all the powerful mechanics to be hidden behind layers of complexity." True!
Let's just rapid fire through the key points.
Okay let's see it.
If you want more detail later, you can read the patch notes
which will be dropped after the livestream.
30 characters by the way. Be sure to let us know
what you think. There's a lot
of changes so be prepared for
a bit of a shock to the system.
I expect it will take several days
for the dust to settle on this one.
No, Reddit will be mad in ten minutes.
Firstly, we've made some drastic alterations
to melee skills.
Let me just rip this bandaid off. Melee totem skill gems have been removed.
We're trying to adopt a philosophy with melee going forward, but unlike other builds it will be far less oriented around set-and-forget gameplay.
You will deal the damage yourself and you should be rewarded for doing so.
I like that!
To compensate, we have buffed the damage on almost every single melee skill
As a majority of this damage growth comes from gem levels
We've also made them cost
more mana as they level. But it's nothing
like the mana costs on spells.
Here are some examples of the damage
and costs before and after.
Heavy Strike has gone from dealing
313% attack damage
to 500? To a
massive 552%.
Holy fuck!
It's also worth noting, it no longer knocks enemies back.
And Sweep has gone from dealing 281% attack damage to now dealing 664% attack damage at gem level 20. I might have to play it.
These are just
two examples, but the majority
of melee skills are now dealing approximately
75% more damage
at level 20. Jesus! Of course,
with melee comes close proximate
combat, so you need some good
defensive options.
New base types with higher defensive
values will now drop throughout the endgame.
As you reach yellow, red
and purple maps, you can expect to
find higher tier base types in each.
For example, Val Regalia and Hubris Circlon
are no longer the best-in-slot items for Energy Shield.
There are new base types that surpass them.
Combined with some quality changes,
which we'll talk about soon, you can now get better items
than ever before in this slot.
To compensate, we have reduced the amount of flat evasion and armor from the Grace into
Termination Auras.
But overall, you're getting more defenses than before okay
on top of this we have buff life modified 186.
you can now get as high as 189 additional maximum life from a single modifier
what the and more on other slots too
calm's heart has also finally been restored to its former glory and once again grants plus 1000 to maximum life.
I mentioned quality. Quality on weapons and armours is being changed to apply multiplicatively.
In other words, weapons with full quality will give 20% more
physical damage, and armor with full quality will have 20% more local
defenses.
For melee, this will mean a damage increase for almost all builds
using physical damage attacks.
And it will mean more evasion, armor,
energy shield and ward for
all builds. Melee league? Yeah!
Endurance charges no longer grant elemental resistances,
but instead
grant additional elemental damage reduction
making it multiplicative with
resistances You can now get four percent per charge
alongside the existing four are we playing juggernaut
to compensate we have made some changes to the i think we're playing juggernauts
various unique items like eternal damnation
Oh, holy fuck more maximum resistances from the tree specifically around the marauder class star
these of course can stack with a new elemental mitigation from endurance charges.
Plus two all res?
On top of this, duels can now roll maximum elemental resistances as modifiers.
Since we're making elemental mitigation more accessible,
We've heavily reduced accessibility to physical damage taken as chaos
or elemental damage. Those stats are still around, but you should
not expect to be getting full conversion anymore.
Wow!
All block passives have been buffed so you can now more easily achieve block cap from just the passive
tree.
The keystone, Versatile Combatant
has been improved to have less of
a penalty to maximum block.
I've never used this.
A number of life leech passives
have been buffed
to generally allow
for more acquisition
of maximum leech rate
for life.
Yeah,
I feel like
I never would use that.
Vow pact
has been reinstated
to its former glory for instant life leech Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Wow. While in Bloodstance,
enemies will take more physical damage
the closer you are to them.
This skill now greatly favor
melee or close-range
gameplay.
Given we're doing a Kalguurian league,
Ward has also received a bit of attention.
There are new uniques that grant ward
and the base restoration of Ward is now faster.
To compensate, O'Roth's
resolve has been nerfed, but
Ward loop builds will still be possible.
Anyway,
that was most of the purely defensive changes
and utility-based ones
to deal with mana as an attacker on the southern hemisphere of the passive tree
wow wands daggers scepters claws and staves now have higher critical strike chance values than ever.
Wands can go as high as 10% without modifiers.
Sandstorm Visage has been made rarer to compensate instead of reducing its power.
For you wand attackers, wands now have higher attack speed than ever
to compensate for their low damage.
Wand exclusive skills such as Power Siphon, Kinetic Bolt and Kinetic Claw Okay.
Okay. Holy fuck... and in general buffed.
Holy fuck man
The buffs granted by Warcries are now simpler, but more significant
And more universal to builds They also now apply to allies by default
banners have been reworked instead of having a reservation cost so
they are now free however they don't grant a permanent buff.
That's good because I would just always give it no matter what.
For the effect to be active.
However once placed they are far more powerful than before.
Additionally there are new ways to
prolong the effects
and more ways to invest in them
than ever before.
Rage has been made more fundamental and discoverable
rage is now multiplicative
attack damage but no longer
inherently grants attack speed
or movement speed
it has a new cap and you can find many
new passive clusters that allow you to invest into the mechanic
the goal is to make rage more powerful as a baseline
and less gated behind the use of specific unique items.
There's only two or three items, yeah.
Berserk has been nerfed just so you're aware.
We have changed how bleed works too.
You can now find aggravated bleed
on the passive tree.
When applied, all bleeds on the enemy
will deal damage as if the enemy
is moving for the remainder of their duration.
Wow.
The skill and snaring arrow for the remainder of their duration. Wow!
The skill and sneering arrow no longer interact with bleed, so no more will you have to apply bleeds
and swap to a bow.
You can now achieve the same results using
aggravated bleed passives without the annoyance
Rupture from the dead eye has been turned into a support gym
Okay, we've added that new Over-Exertion support gem, which highly favors slam builds.
I think that's what I might do.
Now it's time to look at a hot topic of Magic Find.
Yeah. In the Sett settlers of calgary expansion we are
going to be removing item quantity bonuses from all character items this
will not affect existing items and standard leagues
magic is intended to be another access on your gear you existing items in standard leagues.
Magic Prime is intended to be another access on your gear you can scale
once you have achieved the power you want.
With item quantity
being only available on unique items,
this means if you wanted to get the most out of it
you had to be playing a very specific build. We still
want people to be able to invest into Magic Find but now only through
item rarity
This can be obtained on a number of rare items slots and by a much larger number of bills
Wow, Ventor's gamble. Yeah. Yes. Yeah here, yeah. Uh-huh. or be safe. Even we aren't able to predict all the outcomes here, nor have we even gone
into every single change. Just
the major ones. Yeah, we don't
know if this is gonna work or not. Balance is hard.
We're gonna try it. But the sheer number of new, viable options
is exciting, especially for Melee.
And we're determined to drag the game
in a better direction.
Be sure to read the patch notes after this it's going to be a ruckus
in 324 we overhauled the end game experience by introducing
a new tier of maps and rework 17 right we want to continue
to improve these systems and introduce more exciting in-game content every league
325 is no exception.
Let's check out the myriad of changes coming in Settlers of Kalgoor.
Okay.
First up, we are changing many scarabs.
We won't go into too much detail here to avoid getting lost in the weeds, but here's a few new ones. Be sure to check out the patch notes after this for more details.
Okay.
We've also added an additional map device slot, which will be unlocked upon completing your first 10-way Maven encounter.
I can't wait to see Empyrean take advantage of that!
This simply allows for more combinations of scarabs and maps, resulting in more difficulty and more rewards.
Yeah! This is on top of the existing additional slot. resulting in more difficulty and more rewards. Yeah.
This is on top of the existing additional slot
that can be unlocked by completing your first tier 17 map.
There are now six mapped-by-slots in total.
There's one right here, too. you might have seen our teaser where we
revealed we'll be adding new special encounters to the end game like what
one such encounter is the nameless seer lurking in ts 16 and 17 maps.
This NPC will give you a selection of unique items,
And you can pick one for free.
What?
In Tier 16 Maps he now has an additional feature
Where you can scry
a map. This allows you to
swap the divination card drops of the
current map with another map on your
atlas. So you don't have to spam
burial grounds? You cannot have the same map be in multiple swaps at the same time
if you want to undo your choice you can use a scouring orb on either
or the cathedral yeah we've also made some updates to a couple of leagues blight has been updated
with some atlas passive skill changes and double anointed amulets can now drop in Blight Ravage maps.
We've also introduced a new type of oil that can only drop from blighted and Blight Ravaged maps.
Ritual has all the benefits! only drop from blighted and blight ravaged maps ritual has also been updated double anointments find one new and many rework base types new unique items,
corpses you can use to raise a spectres
Oh my-
and occasionally a fragment granting access to the King in the Mists boss fight from the Affliction League. I never played this.
... But not that which was taken, as it is now that which was taken away.
However he now drops a different modular jewel you might recognise from the Necropolis League.
In Tier 16 and 17 maps,
You can now encounter the Wildwood also from the Affliction League really good.
This is okay.
I played this a bit.
Look at the back slots. Okay. In the darkness you will find magical wisps yearning for freedom.
Upon releasing them, they will empower the monsters in your map, promising more danger but more rewards.
You may also find random sentinels on the ground near the start of your maps, from the Sentinel League.
They work in a similar way to before.
They aren't items but you can click on them and then they can be activated in that area at any time of your choosing.
Upon activation, they will buff monsters around you, increasing their difficulty and rewards.
And here's one for those who like to live
dangerously.
You may occasionally find a reflective mist
from the Calandra League.
It has two outcomes.
Oh, I love this!
Yeah! Oh, I love this! You can drop a jewelry item with randomly enhanced or inverted modifier values.
Or you can give a reflecting mist item
which can be used on an existing
piece of jewelry to perform the same action at a time of your
choosing.
Good luck!
Man!
There's many other small changes to league content.
Man!
We're removing the first 15 most boring waves of the simulacrum and rebalancing its rewards to improve
the chances of finding unique jewels holy this is disgusting adding some of
the beasts from einhars mary of harvestvest Beasts to the core pool.
That's good, yeah, the beasts were kind of boring.
In other news, we've added a set of new chisel types
which can be applied to your maps to get different bonuses.
While the Cartographer's chisel still increases
item quantity, there are new ones that now increase rarity, pack size,
increased chance for currency items, divination cards and scarabs it's also worth mentioning that
chisels now apply 20 quality per chisel to white maps 10 yellow maps and 5 to yellow maps and five percent to red maps and higher unique maps still require the full
20 chisels also only one type of chisel can be applied to a map at a time.
Oh my god...
During 3.24, we made a change to tier 17 maps that allowed them to be re-rolled with Chaos
Orbs.
We are now expanding the currency types that can be used on them to also include currencies like Chisels and Valorbs.
Ultimately, the only restriction Tier 17 maps now have is that explicit modifiers cannot be removed from them. We have also
revised the difficulty of these maps, as they didn't quite hit the mark. The
monsters in them now have substantially less life, and deal less damage.
Meaning tier 17 maps now better fit into the progression between Pinnacle and Uber-Pinnacle content.
Lastly we've adjusted the drop rate of Baldos puzzle boxes Oh my god. Yeah, the box was hardly dropping thus
We have drastically increased the drop rate of the box
But reduce the probability of getting chase unique items from it, like Mageblood.
That's cool! I never got a chance to do one.
Not to reduce the number of Magebloods total in the economy
we figured it was better to have more tickets for fun rather than barely seeing any boxes in the league
We've been hard at work and prove all my god experience on consoles
With native ports for the this is already being released This is, bro.
Bro... what? Oh my god!
I just- Oh my god. I was...
Oh my god.
How did this happen?
What?! See! fidelity has been improved for all new generation consoles
part of xr now uses the highest available resolution textures and water
effects we've installed a new upscaling
algorithm that improves the crispness of dynamic resolution,
with an additional anti-aliasing pass on top of that.
With these upgrades we also support variable refresh rate TVs and monitors on PlayStation 5
and all Xbox consoles.
In the options, players can now choose which aspect of visual fidelity
they want to focus on – resolution, image quality or target frame rate?
In Free 24 we added some new encounters
and secrets to the campaign.
Yeah what's the campaign?
In Settlers of Calgar
we're adding even more.
We're not going
to spoil them all here
but keep an eye out
for anything unfamiliar
on your adventures.
Alright.
Who knows
what you'll find?
I mean
I know but still yeah there's an
underground bunker underneath the refinery guarded by powerful robots
i wonder what's been hidden away here how do i unlock this mysterious door
what riches must lay inside blighted growths have appeared in the gardens
and sewers of song wow that makes us a vault containing riches can be found in
the reliquary as you might have seen in our teasers there's a slew of quality
of life features we've been working on. Like what?
Here's a quick summary.
You'll no longer need to interact with waypoints
to unlock them, you can just walk by
and they will activate automatically.
When using keyboard and mouse
you'll be able to pick up items from further away.
We're adding static life bars to some bosses.
Not all bosses will have them just yet but we'll be adding more over time.
You can now see which divination cards drop in each area. but we'll be adding more over time.
You can now see which divination cards drop in each map by hovering over them on your atlas.
When you die,
you can now resurrect without having to reactivate
all your reservation effects like auras and heralds that's
that's going to be really good for me encounters with just a single action
the amount of quality provided by currency items like whetstones is now based on the item level rather than item rarity.
Those currencies now apply a 20% quality to very low-level items, with that amount reducing as the item level increases.
So you can use them while you're doing a campaign!
Next up, we're going to be talking about our new League Supporter Packs.
Today,
We are launching two new series of supporter packs.
Holy shit!
The Shaddon and Penance Packs.
Each tier contains the pack's full face value in points
alongside several exclusive microtransactions.
These packs are only available for the duration of The Settlers of Calgary League,
and will leave the store forever when it ends.
As always,
the microtransactions in these packs are purely cosmetic and do not affect your character's power or progression in any way.
I think I'm gonna buy one this time.
The Paladin series of Supporter Packs contains six exclusive microtransactions.
Wait what the fuck adorn your weapon or shield with a paladin
weapon effect oh my god make a show of levelling up
with the Harpy Flyover level-up
effect.
Equipping
the Divine Paladin armor set
will periodically cause slain enemies to be consecrated and laid to rest.
This set also comes with a matching back attachment.
Both the helmet AND back attachment have options to display the radiant glow or not you pick roll
the divine judgment finisher effect locks onto unique enemies before
obliterating them with a laser from the heavens.
May your critical hits resonate across Rayclust
with the Cleric's Bowel Back Attachment.
Invite your friends to spend a day at the races in the Vastiri Racecourse Hideout.
I'm buying this.
Add rowers to the track to race them against each other.
I'm buying this...
Or you can just dictate from the sidelines. I'm buying this. Poor...
Sports betting? Yeah.
What the penance pack has six exclusive microtransactions. With the pendant's back attachment
equipped, a repentant soul
is chained to your back and latched
with lightning.
Place none other than the Trialmaster in your hideout, and have him comment on your chaos The far fairer now than in ancient times. And Val crafting attempts.
Your luck is over, fool.
He even keeps a record of how many...
He's right! That one sucks!...Kill-involrows you've used in your hideout during the league, or across all leagues.
Yeah he's right!
Blood stains your armor the more life you lose when wearing the Acolyte's Penance armor set.
I blasphemous!
The Zealot's Madness portal effect
fragments as you near it.
The Cauldron map device boils maps, fragments and scarabs placed into it.
Keeping a tally of how many have been thrown into the pot in the current league or across all leagues the exiled squire pits follow in your
footsteps piping you up for battle no sweat biting pessimistic commentary No sweat for you, boss!
No swe- Providing pessimistic commentary.
The cycle prevents...
Or voicing their disdain for you to bring you down a peg.
Now time you down a peg.
These packs are now available for purchase on both PC and console
and will remain so during Path of Exile
Settlers of Kalguur. Do I buy it? What do y'all think, do I buy it?
Meanwhile the Solar and Aldrich packs leave the store forever at the launch of Settlers of Kalguur League.
Yeah, I'm gonna buy it.
So now's your last chance to purchase them

Afterwards, we'll post Path of Exile Settlers of Calgar's
full patch notes.
With release at the end of next week, our
community team will be posting crucial
information you'll need for Settlers of Calgar's
release. Keep an eye on the
news. On this weekend
we expect to launch the new mystery box and this season The website is down?
Are you serious?!
This is... Oh my fucking god!
So please get your questions ready
Oh my fucking god, I

I don't even know what to say.
This is insane.
Bro, this is literally an hour after DL before.
Bro... They did this shit in three months, man?
Well, they probably had it planned out longer than that, right?
But like, that's what happens whenever you have plans
and you do things the right way.
Dude, this is...
Man, I wish I could hear like, bro, imagine
Imagine, bro
I just would wish I could see what they're saying at Diablo headquarters. Bro, they're looking at this, bro. Like you know what? This reminds me of like you ever have a situation where it's like you're going and you do, like, your fucking
presentation. And you have
to go after the people that actually
did the work. And you're like
oh bro, this is...
You know that you're coming up there and it's
like you got your fucking, you know, some
scuffed-ass volcano trying to do for
science project and some other person
resurrected a dinosaur.
And it's just like, you know, you know
that you're about to get laughed
at. People are going to think you're a dumb
ass. You don't even know
what's in the volcano.
How much?
Yes,
is this is I am
I can't believe this, bro.
Like, I really...
Honestly,
I can't believe this.
Like, this is...
This is just...
I can't wait
for the season mechanic. Yeah, and't wait for the season mechanic.
Yeah, and the thing is
the season mechanic
like it's fucking annoying, right?
And it's going to be
fucking annoying
but I think it's actually
going to be fun to play
so I'm going to play it.
I am.
I'm actually excited for it.
I hope you'll stream POE.
I am guys 100% streaming this league.
It's like not even 99.
Like unless some crazy shit happens
I'm streaming this leak
this is insane
holy fuck man
oh my god.
I don't even know what to say!
What happened?
Everything happened.
How to know all these mechanics as a new player?
So, I understand it might seem complicated
for you, but if you...
And I get right. If you understand the way
the games are supposed to work
You'd know that
a lot of these complexities
Are actually
A reduction in complexity
And this Makes the game a reduction in complexity.
And this makes the game a lot more
approachable, in like
five different ways.
I think that you don't... Yeah, right? But here's
an example of the gold thing. thing the gold for respects for low levels
Holy fuck
What a great solution
because i've been complaining about that for a long time because I feel like that's a fail state that like the game doesn't need
To have for new players but it has it anyway.
It's like, oh well I have this right? Fuck! That's so good.
It's not that complicated hands down. The biggest failure point for a new player is
a build, so copy your guide where you learn the rest of the game and everything will work
itself out? Exactly.
Deviate when you feel like you should
and then learn why the build was right all
along. I've had a lot of cases of that
happening too.
Currency trade is the biggest thing?
Yeah, they just like by the way we have a currency trade. am
I'll be right back I gotta use the bathroom
I got to stop for a minute
this is just like bro
it's my bucket this is just like bro so so so so so so so. That's crazy. It really is this crazy d4 officially bad i mean imma be real
this doesn't look good for d4 i'm gonna say it somebody needs to say
it i'll say it myself this does not look
good for d4 how the fuck can you come back from
this like this is a whole new universe it's a from this. Like,
this is a whole
new universe.
It's a whole
different world.
Oh my God.
How does
this even happen?
That's scary.
Is that just like... Yeah, you can't... I don't know if they even
can.
PoE is too complex for some people?
No doubt and Diablo 4 still has a
place but in terms of like for
more serious gamers I feel like
I feel like
that's just about it, right?
That's just about fucking it.
Are you still an Iran apologist? that's a ban. I don't know
what you're talking about but you're being annoying. Get the
fuck out of here pussy. Anyway let's
see this. GGG
made by other ARPG devs. It's just
funny.
I didn't even know how to apologize, what the fuck you talking about?
Yeah, let's get out of here.
6'8 heavyweight MMA fighter got exposed by 5'3 jiu-jitsu bau...

Basically three minutes!
He had this dude on the ground size doesn't matter
yeah bro I feel like i just got done watching this with d4 and poe
I do I feel ya I just had this happen.
Oh my god, Grappling is King, that's insane man! Holy fucking shit!
That guy's out of control! Let see dante was something oh bro like yeah
yeah this is what it was about right here
that's where you go up like that uh the tower thing Whenever I was 14 and 15, this was the coolest fucking thing in the world. so so Let's talk if the fight
He is so badass mhm so This must have been what, like almost 20 years ago at this point?
I think it was!
He's pod racing? Yeah!
Oh my god.
Jesus Christ. so Oh, bro.
Oh my god.
I forgot all about that. Bro, in that animal like oh my god That shit pissed me off
I hated that fucking level man
And when you're in his body and if you stand in the water it does damage. Oh
Fuck I remember that yeah
Yeah, that was annoying
My head I think it's a Senate. Yeah exact don. Don't make that five win soon, man.
New guy was about Texas Heat.
I think this is just a meme, bro.
I'm pretty sure you can choose to dominate Twitter tries boycotting Genshin actually saw
that I was going to watch this on stream.
Yeah, here it is. is so yeah twitter has been trying
to uh shut down genshin impact they've been trying to stop genshin because
genshin had the audacity to add a character sorry, an area into the game
that reminded them of a real
life area and they think the skin tones
for the characters are too bright.
Once again, very upset
at Genshin Impact and attempting to boycott the game.
What a surprise! This is something that Twitter cops have attempted to do in the past before
and failed instantly every single time because it turns out none of them actually stopped spending money
on the game and or none of them actually stopped
playing the game now of course even if they actually did this that's you want to know
the real reason is that most of them probably never played the game in the first place so
they were just doing it for attention and complaining so they could look like
they were doing the right thing.
They were never players to begin with.
It doesn't mean
that a boycott would succeed,
but it would mean that they would at least have an actual boycott going on.
Yet, they can't even do that much.
It's all just a bunch of performative
activism. So why are the Twitter police
all mad and offended this time?
Similarly to things we saw back in Sumeru
they're saying that Natlin is too white
the characters in the upcoming region of Natlin
or Matlon however you pronounce it
they're too white and now it's time to get the US government
involved to tell the Chinese government that
This Chinese game, Genshin Impact
Is too offensive
And no I'm not kidding they're actually attempting to do that
Well you have to think about it from
The perspective of a self-absorbed, narcissistic
mentally ill 15 year old
girl
this makes perfect sense
and if you think about it from that
perspective yeah of course this is happening.
Absolutely.
The account called Hoyoverse Boycott
recently published this image
of boycott hoyovers do's and
don'ts. That tweet published earlier today
on July 15th and getting over 3,500 likes so far.
And they include this section that says,
Sign the linked petition and contact your local politicians.
Whole thing gets even funnier when you see this exchange.
Someone said,
Wait, I'm sorry, but what does calling my local politician do exactly? And they got a response from someone
who actually says this, someone brought up the option of communities whose culture not
long is appropriating to contact their leaders so they can raise
the issue of Hoyo hurting cultures and communities
There's no way this person isn't
a teenager.
And by that I mean, I really hope they're not older than
That. This is insane
To the Chinese government
And it's like bro what kind of rock have you been
Sleeping under that you actually think that's gonna work?
What kind of parallel dimension are you
from that you think this is actually gonna work?
Yes, US government. We demand that
you get the Chinese government to take action
against Genshin Impact, to make Genshin Impact less white.
I'm sure the Chinese government is really going to care about this issue
they're definitely going to do something
about this. Yeah, guys
let's shut it down there's some angry
kids on Twitter in America that want us to make the
characters black.
It's a top issue right here. For sure.
Now, jokes aside, real talk, I do think
more variances in Genshin characters
would be cool and that includes more darker skinned characters,
it also includes more manly characters...
Well they're not going to do that really because
the game is made to appeal
to an audience of people that primarily
don't want to see different people with those skin colors.
They don't want to have male characters.
That's the reality, and those people spend money.
It's made for them.
That's the reason.
It's crazy that anybody even
needs to say this.
It's common sense. We need some big buff
dudes in this game. They're never gonna do that.
It's just highly amusing
when you see people eternally whining about this game and then
refusing to stop playing as i mentioned it comes off like fake performance activism that's because
and then on the other extreme you see people like once we just went over trying to get like
the government involved to change the Chinese government,
to change this game.
That's just like literally terminally online crazy talk.
Well no it's something that
I would have thought of that whenever I was 12
absolutely I would've.
So yeah I feel like this is very common like if you're a stupid little kid of course you're going to believe this
people really want their cake and to eat it too though for example dish was tweeting about
this issue and just got a response from this person
on Twitter who says, since you're very vocal about
this, don't play or stream any Hoyo game
then. Stop this performative activism
and not willing to back it up. Never
play a Hoyo game ever again then. Of course the last part
would need a caveat, that caveat being
hypothetically if you play a game ever again
then...
Criticizing the things we enjoy is part of how change happens
even small pressure can create ripple effect
if you don't like it then don't play it is not productive solution the reason why people say
that is because they like is this person a content creator?
Yeah, they make money off of it.
So it's... Of course you're not going to stop doing it because you make money off
of it. If everybody stopped playing the game,
they would probably do something. You complaining on Twitter doesn't
do anything and if you want to know why this has a lot
of likes? It's because complaining
about things on Twitter is something
that people on Twitter think is important.
What a fucking surprise!
Wow, what a mystery it is that everybody on Twitter thinks
that their opinion about something matters more than anything else.
Absolutely not.
These people don't care about this, it's completely
performative activism
That's what it is. Nobody actually gives
a shit about this, nobody's going to stop
playing the game over this
Here's what's going to happen is that
if they add the characters
like dark skin tone
characters, these characters will
not sell as well in a lot of
markets that they're selling the game in. That's just the truth
that's the way it is
and if they add those
the added people that are going to buy
them in the western markets will not make up for
it. Also, these companies are
not accountable to English Twitter
and the truth is that no
company really is. And that's
what I think a lot of companies are realizing
is that these virtue signaling people on social media don't actually
have any power they don't actually do anything like if you get mad about something on social
media and you get a tweet that's really popular about it,
that tweet just goes away and everybody forgets about it in a few days.
It doesn't really matter.
So why would a company intentionally lose money to make people who
are not going to stop playing the game
happy. Why would they do that?
They're gonna lose money to make people
that won't quit happy? Why? It's stupid.
Like all those road protesters, just annoying.
The thing is that a lot of people on Twitter
like making...
People on Twitter have a very high opinion
of the opinions of people on Twitter have a very high opinion of the opinions of people on Twitter. Nobody else thinks like this, nobody else views it this way.
Only they do because that's the stuff that they care about
they have too much free time yes it just doesn't matter if you actually want to stand by this
and you really think that they're being racist, then stop playing the game.
If you're not going to do that, yeah, sure, you can express what you think.
Of course you can.
But don't expect the whole rest of the world to take it seriously
and be like, oh wow, this is really what I need to do.
It's crazy.
The West can't tell China to stop having the Uyghur genocide
but they can tell them to have more black people
in games? Yeah, it's insane. Like you really think
this is going to work? Disney didn't do this
with Black Panther. Why would
they do it?
Activism and not willing
to back up, never play a
Hoyo game ever again. Of course
the last part we need a caveat that
caveat being that hypothetically if the boycott achieved its goals and the
boycott would ultimately get lifted get ended yeah then in that context people
could return to playing hoyoverse games etc etc
however dish responds saying
criticizing issues in the things we enjoy
is part of how change happens and even small pressure
can create a ripple effect if you don't like it then
don't play watch engage with it it's not a productive
solution except neither is this. You're not
productive, you're just complaining on Twitter.
Nobody cares.
You're not doing anything.
What are we even talking about?
What's wrong with you?
Like, do you think this is productive?
You're tweeting.
In this specific context, it is absolutely a more productive solution because
we've already seen over the years that people have attended the boycott
Genshin Impact and it's failed every
single time because people refuse to actually stop
playing the game. And now there's like a list of...
What a surprise, a game that's business model is
built off of people not having self-control has an
audience of people who don't have self control. Who could have ever predicted
such a dramatic event? Wow! 30 Genshin content creators and
Genshin English voice actors that someone made on Twitter, a list of like 30 of them
who have come out talking about this issue.
And similarly to Dish, who I'm
not specifically calling out here, I'm just using her tweet as a way
of facilitating all these arguments
in a condensed way because it would take way too long. These people don't really care about
the issue. A lot of the voice
actors, etc., are they going to stop being
voice actors for it? No, because that's
where they get their popularity. That's
why people know them. That's why they have Twitter presences because they're the voice actor for a
character that they like in a video game.
Are they going to stop taking jobs from this company?
No,
they're not because they don't really care about it.
They only care about it in a way
to make the other people on Twitter that like
to pretend to care about things
know that oh okay
you're in on it. That's the reason
they're not going to stand by this, like I'm sorry but a person's...
Like I have opinions that I will not stand by in terms of money
I have an opinion about this but if I stand to gain money for the other
direction, I would do it. But I'm very
open about that. Of course I'll
do that and I think everybody's that way.
But I don't expect
other people to take those opinions that I have seriously. I don't expect other people to take those opinions that i have seriously
i don't expect other people to like take up my banner and run with it
if it's not even something that i'm willing to lose money off of so how is
it that you can have a job,
you can have a position that you could actually make
a tangible impact in
by refusing to be a voice actor,
refusing to work for these people.
You're choosing not to do it
because of money.
That's the reason why you don't really care about this your virtue signaling on twitter and you'd have no problem voice acting for
this game even if they were racist which you don't believe
even if they were racist because
you're getting money for it
It's so fucking fake and pathetic
and I hope these people start getting called out
for it. I hate these people.
They are the worst
kind of person.
They're fake, they're liars
and the worst part about it
is they want everybody else to think that the other people are the same thing that they actually are.
I fucking hate them!
So anytime you see any of these voice actors or content creators virtue signaling about this
trash ask them to stop
actually making money off
of it and they'll always say no
or there will be some big
explanation of why it's not like that.
No, it's not.
Shut the fuck up.
No, the reason why you're doing it is because of money.
It's so fucking fake and pathetic.
And I hope these people get called out.
I hate them.
They'll just call you racist
and block you though?
Well,
I guess there's a lot of people
that are racist
because I think that most people feel the way
that I do. Most people
are sick of having some weird
freak with three different flags in their
bio and then two
other mental disorders down below
tell me what normal behavior is two other mental disorders down below,
tell me what normal behavior is.
I'm so fucking sick
of it. It's so tiresome.
Like all 30 but if these people are so serious about calling genshin problematic and wanting to boycott it you think they would actually boycott the game and plus like i already said about the drive the point home we already have plenty of historical precedent that over a significant
period of time, complaining on social media
about this game, but not actually boycotting it when you
claim to be a part of a boycott because these people
still want to date for the game and play the game
that it hasn't worked. So if they really want to make a change
then they should start actually
making a change. Of course, that doesn't
guarantee that the boycott would work but it's like
if you're going to say on social media that you're going to boycott
something, then actually boycott that thing.
Finally. I don't know what the future may bring.
Well, they're not going to boycott it. They'll only do
it when it's financially convenient,
which means that they don't really care about the issue.
And you shouldn't either.
Oyoverse actually sees this
whole approach and it actually does
work, and they're like, okay we heard ya, we're gonna
make these changes. I'm simply saying
that based off historical precedent, it seems like that's an unlikely outcome.
Absolutely not.
Anyways, that's just my two cents on some things they can do to actually improve their boycott and prove the chances of it working.
But let me know what you think about this stuff in the comments as always.
Thanks for tuning in, and I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did consider
liking and subscribing and I'll see you
in the next one. Have a great day.
I am
I really really really, really
think it's going to be funny when this game
comes out and it's exactly
what they didn't want it to be
and they hype it up anyway and they play
it anyway and they keep doing business with the company anyway
because they only care about
money and they only care about
looking good on social media.
It's the same thing that I said before about
all these protesters. If you look at the protesters
that are standing in the middle of the road
and getting in the way, every
single fucking one of them are
upper-middle class privileged white girls.
That's what it is. And there are some guys
out there that are probably there
to pick up the girls that are in the event
themselves. That's what it is.
You look at it and you see them inconveniencing
the minorities. That's what they're doing.
They're carrying around a cross
and looking for somebody to nail them up on it
because their own life is so boring,
so easy,
and so fucking basic that they have to
invent problems for them to fight against
because their real life is so
fucking easy. That's the reason
it's obnoxious
I fucking hate these people
And I'm so glad
to see them getting called out finally.
They're the most disgusting, annoying
parasites in culture.
They're the worst.
And somebody's just lost? Yeah, I think so too. And I they're the worst
as soon as this is lost yeah i think so too
and i know obviously i went pretty far with that
trust me
i would have gone farther if i could
it's not always white women
I mean go look at what
I looked at earlier today every
single fucking one of them
and I think that's the reason you can go far enough
yep there it is
some of them are dumbasses really believe in whatever
they're doing of course they really believe in it but they really believe in it to the extent
that it causes them any degree of discomfort and at which point they don't i'll link you
guys the video.
I completely agree with everything he's saying.
We're struggling and people are making up problems
because they complain about being bored?
Well, they want to be able
to relate to having a struggle to fight against. So what
they're doing is inventing problems so that they can pretend like this is some sort of thing in
common with the person who's like a first-generation immigrant
whose parents don't even speak the language
that they're coming from, right? Or the country
they want to act like they're the same.
You see
what I'm saying? Like, that's really what's going on.
Gaffer, are they gonna boycott you? Oh, they already do. Trust me those people don't watch
me. They hate me. I was gonna watch this
I didn't get a chance to the other day,
but we're going to take a look at it.
So the guy that shot Trump
was wearing this dude's shirt.
So he made a video talking about it pre-watched i actually did
not pre-watch it uh sometimes if i put something on mobile it says says that. I've not watched this.
So yeah.
The guy... People are getting mad
at him because the shooter was wearing his
shirt. That's basically it.
I'm sure there will be a lot of people watching this video
who do not know me,
or are new to this channel...
and they're just checking in based on recent occurrences
So for those who are new,
for those who do not know me,
my name is Matt Carriker.
I am a Texas-based YouTuber.
Ooh!
And this is my YouTube channel.
Hi, Texas.
Demolition Ranch is a firearm centered channel.
I also have Off the Ranch Matt Carriker Channel which is a blog type
channel and then I'm also a veterinarian
and so I have Vet Ranch which is a veterinary centered channel
and across the board, across all of my videos
we really don't talk about politics at all. We keep politics out of it for one
it's not my bread and butter but also I don't feel the need to impose my... Is that true?
This is not kind of, but not really. it seems as though this is true
okay
this is the first thing I check
somebody says something, I'm all right let's find out
just going stuff yeah medical views and beliefs on other people
and so we generally just stay away from the topic of politics. Okay. However, we were obviously kind of thrust into
a conversation after last weekend.
So, before I go any further to the family of the victim
who died during the Trump shooting
man, I'm so sorry for your loss.
It's terrible and I hate that happened to him
and to you guys
and wishing...wishing you guys the best from here.
Okay.
That's the worst.
For those who were injured in the shooting as well.
Cicadas going crazy?
Yeah, this is speedy recovery praying for pain and recovery for you as well both physically
and mentally I can't imagine.
So, as a lot of you guys know, um...
And we were shocked and confused to find this out.
The shooter who tried to assassinate Trump
was wearing merch from my channel,
wearing a Demolition Ranch t-shirt.
And that sucked to see
that.
Yeah, that was
rough. So this t-shirt we also own a t-shirt company
it's based out of my hometown right here and my friends work there.
We make these shirts, we print them here in Texas
and ship them all over the world. I've seen my shirts on every continent
I got a picture like two weeks ago of a guy
wearing my shirt in Antarctica
and so
somebody wearing your shirt does
not mean that you are responsible
for what they did
Michael Moore made a document that you are responsible for what they did.
Michael Moore made a documentary about this literally 20 fucking years ago
called Bowling for Columbine,
and he asked the question,
Did bowling cause the people that shot up Columbine to shoot up Columbine? The answer obviously is no. Obviously, that did not happen. It's not even a question. He's
not responsible for this at all.
It's insane that anybody would even say
that.
... We don't vet the people who buy our shirts, obviously.
It would be impossible to do that if Nike doesn't vet who buys their shoes.
I wish I could. I would love to keep people like
that from buying, wearing, being associated
with that article of clothing
I wish he couldn't get a shirt
but it happened
and
I think
the difference in...
Nobody wants a mass shooter wearing
their shirt.
Just in a general sense.
Nobody wants like, oh yeah
by the way, the person who shut up the school
was wearing your hat.
Oh well that doesn't look too good.
A gunman
wearing a pair of Nike shoes and a gunman wearing my T-shirt is this brand
is much more personal to me than Nike is to its executives. And so, to see my name
next to
the shooter's name...
Ah! It sucks!
Yeah it's probably weird.
He'd be right about that.
No matter what side you're on politically none of us want violence.
This channel is never meant to incite violence or hate.
It never has, it isn't and
it never will be a channel that does
that. I don't want any violence or
hate anywhere around me.
I have a wife and little kids.
I want them to be safe and secure
forever, and
the videos I put out, I want to make sure
that is the same for everyone who watches
my videos, that they
aren't in any more danger because of my videos,
of course. And I know you guys know that.
I have 11 million subscribers who have been watching me
for over 10 years and know
that I am not
that kind of person. This is mostly for the people who are just tuning in to see if I am a guy
that is trying to,
I think that having a gun channel,
having any accountability for somebody
using the gun channel
as a
place where they can learn and then
shoot up a place. Yeah,
there's a good chance somebody could have watched one of his videos and been
okay this is how i'm going to kill people in a better way absolutely that could happen it's not
even a question of course that could happen there are all different times that you can like
people look at a science book and it teaches them how to make meth does that mean that
people that are scientists are responsible for people doing meth? No.
Of fucking course not.
It's just a insane
fucking...
It's like a, I'm looking
for somebody to blame and I'm going to go with
the first person that I can see.
It's dumb people logic?
It is.
So,
I am not.
Obviously, I don't have to explain that to you guys who know me but
i feel like i might need to say that for those who don't this channel is not about violence
this channel will never be and we never would condone that at all.
I hate that, it's a weird deal
and yeah have news articles calling me
asking for interviews. Asking what I know about
the shooter. Asking if i've ever had any communication
Somebody says don't you think he uploaded this video
for views? I don't know it feels wired
to this video am I wrong?, of course he uploaded it for views.
Why would you upload a
video to a public platform other
than to get views?
Yes, you are correct
in your analysis that this video
That was uploaded to a public platform
Was done so with the purpose of having other people see the video
You're very smart
Okay You're very smart. Okay?
Very smart, thank you. Thank you for your service.
...with the shooter if I've ever met him...
No. He bought a shirt online and
unfortunately wore it that day anyway wishing the best for everyone affected by this um obviously the way I'm affected is nothing compared to the way some people
are affected by this so i'm not trying to take anything away
from them but yeah just kind of letting you guys know.
I wanted to tell you guys who know me that we're here.
We're still going and, yeah, it's unfortunate but it's not what we stand for and it will never be what
we stand for. And we're gonna keep trucking. When you're watching a
CNN article and it says three names the shooters trumps and mine yeah that's a bit weird I was
not on my 2024 bingo card yep so yeah I'm gonna end this video. Let's move forward and
thank you guys
for listening
thanks for watching
and most of all thanks for the support
I love ya! And I'll see you next time.
Yeah, I think he's generally right about this overall.
Like, I think it's an outrageous accusation to make
that he was somehow helping the shooter.
Now there is a bit of complexity with this
and so i wanted to show you this so the guy apparently i don't know if he has a website
and we're going to kind of work through this live here because I just saw
this. So he apparently has
a place here
literacy is excellent, yeah there we go
so he has a hat
that he's selling and this is his website, Bunker Branding Co.
And this is a website...
Let me see here at StemWash & Ranch
let me make sure I've got this here
I think he is
an owner of this
website here. This doesn't
look too good. No, it doesn't and I want
to make sure that this is
explained here real quick
and there we go.
Bunker Branding Company
was founded in 2017
with a desire to bring you the best merchandise
from the best people, owned by Matt
better known on his used- demolition ranch so he does however
have a website that is selling a hat that says make politicians afraid again
now i want to ask a very simple question. Do you think that selling this hat reduces or increases political violence tendencies.
It increases.
Yeah, and so
he's not responsible for what the shooter
does, but to say that
you're not like... I don't think you should
be selling a hat that says this.
I'm going to be honest. Now,
I'm not saying it should be illegal.
I'm not saying that he should not be allowed to sell this hat.
What I'm saying is that I think this is an incredibly poor taste
and I think that this does abso-fucking-lutely
promote political violence.
I think any normal person,
if they read this
and saw a comment made about themselves
would feel unsafe. If someone said that
they wanted to make your mom afraid again you would be very protective of
them if you said this all I want to make
Trump afraid again type Type this out.
If you think this isn't problematic
type it out about Biden right now.
Do it and then tag the
Secret Service and tell me what they
say later on tonight whenever they're at your house.
Context matters, though? What is the context in this?
How could this make any sense? It's Brandon Herrera's hat.
Did you just compare a politician to my mom?
I absolutely did, because making a threat against a person is the exact same thing.
And the only point that I'm making is that it's a disingenuous comparison,
because people like... A politician is still a person and a person has a right to
uh-a-a right to not being fucking killed. Like what are we talking about?
It's Brandon's hat. Yeah they share a website.
Yeah but this is his website.
Like it's his website.
So...
Not that I support this
But isn't the actual reason the second amendment
exists what to shoot politicians
uh... i don't necessarily think so
are you responsible for everything o t k does them
everything that it does?
In a way, yes. In a way no.
Like so like for example let's use a one to one right?
If we were selling a hat that said this
or we were selling a hat yes of course people it depends yeah absolutely
like if i own a website and people are selling products on the website that in my opinion this does promote political violence
it does
it absolutely does
it's not even a question.
Crazy people are going to be crazy regardless? Exactly.... Yeah, that's why advertisers
pull from channels that express violence.
I don't even understand how this is
even a question. The company has a clothing brand
that makes merch off of other content creators?
Yes, but it chooses which merch it allows and which one it doesn't allow.
I'm sure it basically has some degree of approval process to go through it.
Like they're making money off of this.
So like your best argument is incompetence or them not
caring? I don't know. I think that's a pretty bad
argument.
You're not responsible for what marks you
have, but
you are about what it says and what it promotes?
Exactly. Yeah.
Don't you kind of agree with the message?
No, I don't agree with the message.
Absolutely not.
Because it obviously has a violent implication that's not even a question
it clearly has a violent implication anybody who thinks that it doesn't is
being dishonest.
It's a vague message? Of course, it's vague and it's vague on purpose.
It's because of the implication.
You're weenie for saying that? Yeah,
of course you say that right? Of course that's what you say.
But if I showed a picture of you and
put you out there and said let's make this person afraid again,
I bet you'd want me to get shut down.
You would because everybody is willing to talk about
this and have no problem with this
whenever it's not happening to them.
That's the reason, and this
is the thing, and I think again he'd cry like
a little bitch, yeah you'd cry like a little bitch
you'd be upset about it, and what
if I did it to your mom? What if
how about this, if you think this is not a problem
why don't you type I want to
make Biden afraid again and then tag
the Secret Service and tweet that out
publicly under your name. Go ahead
and do it. You're not going to do it. Do you know why? Because you know
It could be perceived as a threat
And your being dishonest
That's the reason
Yeah no boss, yeah true I dare you
Of course you are not going to it. Because this entire posturing
is a complete fucking lie.
Everybody knows this implies violence
Of course it does
It's silly
Now, is he responsible for the shooter? He is absolutely not responsible for the shooter. But do not go and insult my intelligence and tell me that selling a hat on your fucking website,
your website that says make politicians afraid again does not
collectively increase political tensions and also promote
political violence.
This is not even a question.
Anybody
who's saying no or disagreeing
with this is being dishonest because
I'm calling out something that's bad
or that they disagree with.
I'll read some comments about
this because I know people are going to be crying
about this, but that's what I i think it's just a goddamn hat i agree
absolutely it's just a happy for sure.
That's not the point.
I disagree, it's not about violence. Okay.
Do you think that, do you think having that hat on there increases or decreases the overall climate of political violence? Does it make it go up or down? neither
of course that's not true
if Biden says if Biden had
said before Trump
almost got assassinated
we need to make Trump afraid again
everybody would
be playing that clip over and over and over blaming biden for saying it
and they would be saying look at this you're responsible for this
they did yes and everybody blamed him a disgrace not about violence
you know his problem is he made the video without the video no one would have cared or looked at his site for this stuff. Yeah, for sure.
What does the item description say?
Uh... I don't know let me see what it says.
It doesn't really say anything.
Yeah, make politicians afraid to get a hat. Like, it's just...
It's a hat. Right? That's it.
Mr. Harriman is YouTube
is not political. Not all of his
business ventures were. I that yeah of course i understand
that riasma but you also can't deny that it also implies politicians are currently
not afraid to make decisions that harm the greater good of the country?
Of course.
But if you make abstract and vague statements
that can be implied as being violent,
I think that the people that buy this...
This is my hot take.
I think the people that buy this want political violence to happen to the politicians they disagree with, and I think in their mind whenever they make politicians afraid again, I think they're thinking
about assassination.
I think they're thinking about actual violence
and I bet it's 95%
of them that are thinking that.
Abso-fucking-lutely.
It's amazing to me
that people are so intellectually dishonest
to pretend like
that's not the obvious fucking case.
... case. You could have said
make politics matter again?
You could have said it a lot of different ways.
That's definitely not what they are thinking at all.
So,
again, how
is it... and this is the problem with
cognitive dissonance,
you can create a one-to-one
but then people won't put them together.
Because it
breaks the conditioning in their mind.
Let me go back to my
original point.
If Biden had said we need to make Republicans afraid again. We need to make Trump afraid again. And then Trump got assassinated or he attempted like he almost got assassinated, like he did?
He literally did. Right?
And do you think that
Biden saying that was a good thing to say?
I think he's wrong. I think
he should not have said that.
He absolutely should not have said that. He absolutely should not have said that,
and he is responsible for turning up the temperatures.
He's not responsible for the shooter,
but he played a part in contributing to the environment
that made the shooter want to do that absolutely
it was very wrong right and so matt is a political youtuber why would that matter
that has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, they're all the same exactly and so I just want to... Can you guys see
the cognitive dissonance in chat
about how if Biden had done it,
it would obviously be a threat and bad but him doing it
and selling this hat is somehow okay.
This is cognitive dissonance in action.
This is people looking at the exact same thing,
but because it contradicts with their political
dogma, they can't think past
that and see common sense.
It's so fucking pathetic.
There's a lot of intellectual dishonesty
in the chat? That's right.
They should be ashamed for selling this hat
and they should not sell this hat.
It's a bad hat to sell.
I don't care what the intention of it is or what you think is okay or anything like that it's a bad hat to sell should not sell this out
this hat absolutely turns up the temperature of political violence
absolutely it's not even a question it's not his fault the shooter went out and did this
he should not be responsible for it in any capacity. But selling that
hat does increase the tensions.
It absolutely does.
Both sides
are getting more extreme? Oh yeah sure basically you're saying once the president
i say there's a youtuber from texas they share the blame in an attempted assassination can you Can you explain...
Can you explain what you're trying to say?
Why don't you go ahead and explain what you're trying to say why don't you go ahead and explain what
you're trying to say I think that when a person shooting and what opinion is an okay temperature to turn up the heat
and how to measure. I think that when a person takes
action, that person is responsible for their actions
and no one else's. If they do something it is ultimately
their responsibility.
Now other people can reflect and think about how they created
an environment that's more easy for the person to commit
action but each individual person
has their own self-control, they have their own autonomy and they can do what they want to do.
The idea that you make somebody do something like this is insane
And it takes away a persons agency and it takes away their freedom
So thats the difference.
No, I won't ask
Trump? Of course you won't. And the reason
why you won't is because you know
your argument is stupid.
This is a retard argument.
Just because the person
has more power doesn't mean that
the words have a different meaning.
It just means that the words have a stronger voice or they
have a stronger, like volume. The words
are the same it doesn't matter who's saying them
It's a ridiculous thing to say.
You defend weapons that are a million times more responsible for what happened?
I don't get your point let me read
uh let me read this message um so can you explain what you're what you're trying to say?
Accepting responsibility doesn't mean they are to blame. Well, it's just it's a minimal thing
i'm not sure someone who wouldn't engage
in political would be moved by this hat.
It's not that they would be moved by this hat.
It's that a person who is willing to commit political violence would naturally be drawn to other things that
they believe promote political violence. And I think it would be logical for a person
to see a hat that says make politicians afraid again and
think to themselves, this person probably
supports political violence like me.
Absolutely. The hat
he didn't look at the hat. It's not like this is fucking
Harry Potter.
You put the hat on and it says kill Trump.
No, that's not how it works.
But
hey
you see something like that? The But... Hey.
You see something like that, then maybe somebody who already thinks that would probably have
that viewpoint.
Guns killed someone?
The hat didn't kill people? Yes.
I agree with you, the hat didn't kill anybody. Of course not.
My point is that a person who is predisposed
to be politically violent would logically be drawn
to something that could be seen as promoting political violence.
This is simple logic and if you don't understand that it's because you don't want to.
I don't get why
you're so focused on this. It doesn't matter.
The hat won't increase the violence level of anyone
but do you agree that a person who is prone to violence or is um willing
to commit violence would be more drawn to things that they think condone that behavior?
I just...
It's astonishing to me that people are like it's the mental gymnastics
that people use
like the biting crosshairs thing
I mean, to be fair
that's probably way worse
because what has crosshairs but yeah
do you believe games like call of duty battlefield uh games which cause
critical violence and war increase the overall violence in general
because the game said political violence and war
actually won your take? I think if you
put a real person in there it does.
Absolutely. And also with
the game there's a suspension
of disbelief that it's not happening in the real world.
This is something that's happening in the real world. There's not any implication
that it's only inside of a video game. This is in real life.
Yes, but I won't difference in interactions. Okay so then you agree that one of the reasons why the shooter could have worn this person's shirt is because they could think this person condoned political violence, right?
This is possible.
He agreed. Yeah, of course.
Yes, it will make a difference in our actions. I agree.
It's a stretch but yeah, of course right?
I have a very big problem with dishonesty
if this is not obvious,
I hate people that are dishonest who I think are
liars and who are trying to
push a narrative
that's not true.
And they're doing it, and
in my opinion, some of the
levels of dissonance are so
obnoxious and so offensive to me
that I just can't let it go.
Yeah, it's condescending too yes it it insults your intelligence that you that they consider you stupid enough to not see the connection he's not responsible for other
people's perceptions though people would carry out
political violence who like to watch the boys do the same for sure yeah for sure
that's brandon herrera's hat it's Matt's. Matt sold this company two years ago.
Is that true? So he doesn't own it anymore?
Well, if he doesn't own it anymore then it's not his fault at all.
Yeah, case dismissed.
Is that true?
It was never his fault to begin with? Yeah, true.
Remember the Christchurch shooter saying subscribe to PewDiePie?
Yeah that's like Pewdiepie is responsible for That or something like that. That's insane
That is insane
You heard the first message? There's no reason to
It's just stupid
People who buy the hat support the message on the hat
What you're saying is obviously true just like mega supports
trump's message not necessarily i mean again like it it's abstract but i do think that
selling a hat like that is irresponsible and you shouldn't do it.
I do.
I think it's a bad thing to do and I do think that
a lot of people that see a hat like that
would absolutely see it
as a justification or, a rationalization for political violence i'm not
saying that they should not be allowed to sell the hat by the way i want to make sure everybody
understands that of course they should be allowed to sell the hat, probably
I think so, right? I'd have to
think about that more. However
I think it is problematic and I would
prefer if people didn't do things like that
I think this is very fair opinion to have.
This slogan means
a well-armed militia does not condone violence?
Yeah, but it doesn't say a well-armed
militia. It says make politicians afraid.
It doesn't say that. I agree with you, but it doesn't say a wall on militia. It says make politicians afraid.
It doesn't say that I agree with you,
But the same logic wouldn't guns making political violence already more deadly than
it would be without them?
Yeah, of course. That's a risk we take with guns.
Absolutely.
It's the same as it's a risk that we take with freedom of speech.
Yeah,
freedom of speech and other freedoms
almost all freedoms have a
they have a cost
every single one does and like that's with anything
so yeah same risk you take the hat yep that's the same risk
rigor violence is greater than political violence no uh like a hundred ten thousand x to one yeah a lot of political violence doesn't really happen
so um people are on uh people So, um...
People are on, uh... people think that PewDiePie
so like name YouTubers who were good people
you've got Martin Luther King
Rosa Parks
I guess this is Gandhi
and of course Adolf Hitler.
Now what was this inspired by? Well
PewDiePie apparently is
Adolf Hitler
That's right guys
Man Isn't Man
Isn't that something special?
I knew it
I can't believe it
Yeah bro like
We're hitting people
Trying to paint PewDiePie
As a bad person
Just cause you said The N-word once.
It's insane, bro. People... I don't know why people hate Pewdiepie so much
it's so weird. Like, I really don't understand why
You know what I think it is this is my opinion i think that people are mad at him
because he stopped taking being popular and being famous seriously,
And he moved on to other things in their life.
They want to be popular and famous
So they resent him for not taking what they want more than anything in their life
more seriously and more importantly.
I think that's the reason.
They're jealous,
and more so are they jealous.
They're jealous that he has it, and it doesn't matter to him.
Because you want a real reason why? It's because it makes them feel stupid.
And do you know why?
it's because they are stupid yeah there you go
people want to see them
that's what it is
so this is the guy that did the Genshin that's what it is. And so naturally, you know, you have people...
So this is the guy that did the Genshin video.
Can we just publicly execute
here already please? I want to
say that if you guys ever see
comments and posts like this,
you should spam report them. And file a ticket about it
and like, you know, like report it for threats of violence etc
and get these people's accounts shut down. Because we have the power to
do that, we can easily do that
and I think that we should do that. It's not
even a question. Jealousy?
Yeah, absolutely it's jealousy
Plus he has a kid, he's focusing on his kid?
Yep.
Hope Twitch will do that.
What a disgusting person.
Oh absolutely,
it's pathetic.
Haha! When he gets an 80 year old 7-11 clerk fired for posting, how could you miss them
i think this shit is so fucking funny.
Oh my god, this is fucking hilarious man. He probably made millions of dollars and retired like a boss? Yeah he certainly fucking did.
Let's see if i can figure out the rest of this shit too.
There's a bunch of other stuff I want to...
Oh.
Bro.
Bro.
Listen to this. What's the question that I have on that? These two men are both elderly.
Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op during an active shooter situation.
Weird situation we'll figure that out one day.
He's not an active shooter,
That's why they had to say the shooter
Was down before he got up
How is it this woman can
Say this whenever she has probably
Watched a clip of it happening probably 50, 100 times.
Don't you remember that
that happened?
Like
all you have to do is just listen
to it and she's lying. It's dishonest. This is
again, she's, she's lying. She's
reading a teleprompter. So here's the funny thing.
Is that she probably is, but she probably wrote or
had oversight over what was being read by the teleprompter.
But his survival of that and bouncing right back
and going right to his convention
is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength.
This current president of the United States
is 81 years old and has COVID.
Should he be fine in a couple of days?
Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing,
that he's strong enough older than Trump to have gotten something that used to really be fatal I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT IS
STRONG ENOUGH OLDER THAN TRUMP
TO HAVE GOTTEN SOMETHING THAT
USED TO REALLY BE FATAL TO
PEOPLE HIS AGE.
SO IF HE DOES FINE OUT OF IT AND
COMES BACK AND IS ABLE TO DO RALLIES, ISN'T THAT EXACTLY THE isn't that exactly the same? It should.
I mean, it's not exactly the
same.
It's not the same incident but
it's an elderly man coming
through out of an illness.
It should. you know what's really funny
to me about this
is that both Trump You know what's really funny to me about this?
Is that both Trump and Biden
are really old guys.
But I love
the fact that
after that first debate, it got I love the fact that like after
that first debate
it's gotten so
bad with Biden
that they're
not the only
argument that
they have.
They can't even
downplay how
bad it is with
him,
so what they do instead
is they try to act like Trump
is the same.
And I think the reason why
is because they know that
it's so bad that you can't pretend anymore that it's so bad that you can't pretend anymore
that it's not bad.
So,
you're trying to create
this false equivalency
so that you can be like
oh well
it's the same with your guy too
which implies that it's the same with your guy too. Which implies
that it's bad.
So what you're saying
is that
the other guy
is also bad
but also means
that your guy
is bad too.
So you just think about this.
It's crazy.
You'll be the same
at another time.
Yes, it's insane.
Imagine they're lying about him having COVID.
I mean, I don't know.
I hope he recovers, right?
He's the fucking president.
That'd be awful if he died.
But yeah, I don't know.
I think he'll be fine.
Personally, I think he'll be totally fucking fine. But
yeah, there it is. People
watch this or looking to anything to latch on
to makes them confirm the bias bro like that's just
it's insane that he's strong
enough older than Trump to have gotten something that used
to really be fatal to people his age.
So if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies isn't that exactly
the same?
Man.
Man, it's not...
Did your girls try not to smirk?
Yeah, I know.
Mr. Vopkin has said this there goes trying not to smirk yeah i know measure of options uh 330 million and only having two presidents able to run the country i know man they should definitely be a max age for president
say you're democrat that's senior Democrat. I think that they
are doing themselves a massive disservice
and I think that they're losing a lot
of credibility by trying to
pretend that
this is the same thing or this is normal or whatever
because people will bring this up
in like 10 years
about, like, this is why you shouldn't
listen to these people. It's because
they're liars and like an example of them lying
is this. And they will play a clip
like this.
I need to drop the fuck out.
Dementia can't be cured. Well nobody gets fucked
by COVID? Well What I'm saying is
it's the dishonesty of it
and I think this
is what's the most offensive to the public.
It's that
any normal person listening to this, other than the most dedicated zealots.
Any normal person would see this and be like, This is completely fucking ridiculous.
I don't listen to them?
Yeah, they don't need credibility, quality, quantity.
Yeah, COVID killed millions of people.
What?
Yeah, I mean, COVID was bad.
You're right.id was bad you're right covid kovit was bad kovid was bad and it killed people
read the first comment so wait a minute why isn't he wearing him.. Um...
Man.
That's crazy,
huh?
Damn, I forgot all about that.
Yeah, there it is.
That's a great point.
Just because the CDC finally came out and said it does nothing, facts go up? Really? I didn't know about that.
I have to go ahead and see for myself.
Yeah, to be honest,
I actually...
I mean,
I know people
are going to get mad
at me about this
but I actually
was always a supporter
of the masks.
Not a mask mandate
not a required mask
but I thought
it was like
yeah if you have a mask
I bet some of the particles probably won't get through
It just made sense to me
right? From like the little that I know about
science. So yeah
I mean to me I see that and it's like
Yeah man, why not wear a mask?
What the fuck
It's a damage reduction
Yeah, yeah
It's a damage reduction
It's not an immunity shield
That's a good point
Yeah, there it is
And so that was at least my perspective on it i mean again
as somebody who's not uh scientifically educated right i'm really not it's just you know i took
in high school that was about it so uh yeah that's crazy bro he didn't even have the mask
on damn bro and he's touching the yeah man that's crazy.
Damn, that's... What the hell?
Like wow!
That's something special isn't it?
Yeah he's got immunity
He's got natural immunity to it
So apparently The guy that shot trump
look at this
he's literally just walking around like an NPC.
It's like, you know like an NPC in a Bethesda game?
Like you move the NPC to an area where the, the pathing's wrong. He just
randomly... I mean if I was a Secret
Service, I would see
...I'm gonna be honest
listen, I can racially profile
because it's one of my own.
I could see a young, weird looking, skinny, loner white guy
standing in the middle of fucking nowhere
looking around like an NPC that is bugged out in a video game and
I would say, hey guys, I think we might have something here.
You know what?
Let's go check this out.
Give it a minute.
Yeah.
Holy fuck.
Yeah. Look in the mirror.
How do you think I know? That's the thing.
Who the fuck wouldn't call this in?
It's amazing security L.
It's an amazing security L.
It's such a massive fucking security L and to to be fair this is really not a good benchmark
but Joe Rogan even is like
he says red flags
See that they knew
this guy was on the roof?
To hear that that had pointed his rifle before
that at a cop so the cop engaged him he pointed the rod down the copper one it was the guy climbed
the roof with a ladder you can see see the ladder. The whole thing is
bananas. He's 20 years
old and then he found out he was in a
BlackRock commercial?
You're like...
That took him over the edge, didn't it?
Not really, bro.
Like that was a bridge too far.
Is this the back mirror?
Like tell me what's going on.
Is this real?
20?
20 years old and he's got
this idea
and he pulls it off?
He actually gets a shot
off and nicks him
and then they kill him?
Like you've seen this 20 year old kid though his life is over like somehow or another
he talked himself into trying
to assassinate only part of the conspiracy
that I would believe in is
that I think that it it's unrealistic this person had
no social media and I think
it's possible some group or
people scrubbed his social
media before it was discovered by the public
as a method of
avoiding some degree of liability.
That's the only thing that I
really... Because if I were
them, that's what I'd do.
You know? Like, I would
do that myself.
So, I just assume somebody else
would probably think about it the same way that I do
and yeah, of course.
Yeah, of course
you want to destroy the evidence.
Duh! You fucking stupid!
Of course!
...the president as a lone gunman
in Pennsylvania got on top of a roof
either through sheer incompetence or
for some other reason. He actually gets shot off and
the President just moves his head
at the right time. The whole thing is
if it was in a movie, I'd be like, shut
the fuck up. This is what I fucking
said too. Exactly.
Fucking exactly.
It's so ridiculous like bro Donald Trump
has done irreparable damage
to political dramas
Never again can they do something that is more interesting than real life.
That'll make you believe in God, that's like God up there when he's going like
I don't want to talk to this guy.
People are spamming about that shit, bro.
They think it's God's plan, bro.
Don't you have
to believe the whole conspiracy in that case?
No, not necessarily. I
think that there could be a lot of ways for it to
be played out and it's not even that I believe
it, it's that I believe it to mean more
than 1% plausibility.
I actually think this is my genuine opinion. I actually think, this is my genuine opinion
I think that everybody
involved like why is it that
a 5'3 fat girl
was guarding the president who's
6'2 to be be fair, relatively fat man.
I'll tell you why.
It's because they probably put her in that position
to fill some sort of
diversity quota or some sort
of inclusion quota or something sort of inclusion quota
or something like that.
There's no reason somebody
like that should be there.
It's, like any normal person
would think this.
It's not even a question.
You know it, I know it,
everybody knows it.
So you know what I think?
I think that a group that makes a decision like that also is stupid
as fuck and they probably didn't even
check the roof or they didn't even care about it
because what they care about are their appearances
looking good, thinking that they're cool
because they're in the Secret Service.
They're incompetent. They shouldn't have the job to
begin with and they fuck the entire thing
up because they should have never been hired in the first place.
That's what I really think what happened.
However,
there sure are a lot of coincidences, huh?
Pretty interesting.
He's a lot. Yeah.
I don't want him up there.
I'm the greatest angel! Or maybe
he wants him here
to expose how crazy our political system really is.
Because the only way we find out
how coordinated everything is, whether you're a Trump fan or not
if you hate Trump
put that aside for a second and just look at how much coordination there is in the media to go after him.
And it exposes like this thing where you have to step back and go,
wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
What's really going on?
Yeah, and I think the problem is like...
I think it's obvious why the media goes after Trump. It's because Trump goes
after the media in a unique way.
Obama, Biden, Bush,
Clinton as far as I remember
when I was younger, never really
named the media as saying that they're all fake and everything like that.
But I think the real reason why the media goes after Trump
is because it's very popular for ratings.
Like, Donald Trump is the greatest thing that has ever happened to CNN.
He is, bro...
he is throwing them a life raft every single day
and if they ever put him back on Twitter he's gonna give them all the credit They do a lot of money. They loved him pre-2016? Yeah.
But did they love him, or did loving
him get more
money than hating him?
He didn't want to after him since day one. After that, the Obama dinner diss? Oh yeah, no doubt.
RNC viewership is... I don't think so. RNC viewership is down instead of up?
Well, I don't know if it is or not i haven't seen that myself whether you hate that guy or not hate him hate him think he's a crook hate him
think he's alive hate them do we think it's weird that they're all...
Yeah, they're all saying the same thing. Somebody says this in chat and I actually wanted to
draw attention to this. You're not getting down to your right, actually.
You bring up a good point. Have you seen the media compilations of a bunch
of channels saying the same thing?
I found out why that is, because
I actually... So, you guys might not know
this little Asmon Lohr
in high school.
Guess what? I was in broadcasting.
And senior year,
I would stream video games.
2007-2008, I would stream video... video games. 2007,
2008.
I would stream video games myself playing Secret of Mana
and Super Smash Bros. Melee with
Dylan that came in here,
bald Dylan. He was sitting in that room with me too
and we would be streaming
video games in 2007-2008
And we learned a lot of things about broadcasting
and one thing that we learned is that
doing broadcasting every single day is a lot of work it
really is even for us you know as student news so what a
lot of these stations do is they wait for one station to do it, and then
they all literally word-for-word copy it.
That's just what they do.
They literally just copy it.
It's not a conspiracy, it's good business. It's not conspiracy, it's good business. There just ABC.
In lock step with the way they talk about him, even with things that aren't true.
Especially like the Russia
collusion hoax that they all talked about for years
and years. I thought it was real.
I thought he colluded with Russia
and that was the crazy thing about him winning the presidency.
Well you gotta admit though, like him
colluding with Russia
Like I mean that's pretty exciting
right? That's crazy
What the fuck?
Oh my God, he worked with Russia.
Maybe Russia has something on him.
You kept hearing about it, right?
That was just bullshit.
And they went through that for years
and then you start going. Yeah, what else is
Coordinated where everybody's saying so like how about the Nord Stream pipeline?
You know Seymour Hirst says we blew it up like esteemed journalists It is like no matter what they say i'm telling you
this was our doing we blew this up this wasn't some other country this wasn't russia they
wouldn't blow up their own pipeline we blew it up and but every newspaper is like this is
bullshit because wheat was impossible it could not happen this was
just as all russian disinformation russian
disinformation you hear it about like every story
so it's so hard to understand like what i don't think that you should trust the media for anything
i really don't uh but check out all of our videos on Sinclair Media?
Yeah, no for sure there's like a degree
of central messaging of course right
but i think that with a lot of these
very small news channels they're just copying
You should never trust the media like very small news channels that are just copying.
You should never trust the media.
And here's how you can know not
to trust the media.
Read the media's...
Take your position of expertise, right? Your area of expertise and then
read how the media portrays that area of your expertise and see how many things they get wrong.
What do you think?
That your area is the only thing that they get wrong?
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
No, they get everything wrong.
Yeah, no,
they're full of morons.
It's so fucking bad, bro.
It's so fucking bad, bro. It's so bad.
What is the motivation to getting these stories out?
Are these narratives created
by the real government
that runs everything and then
tells the news organizations that are in business
with them what to say and what to do.
That's where it gets spooky.
Yeah, my dad works
for the Neuro for the conspiracy Ukraine situation
keeps telling me that they publish so many bullshit articles.
Yeah, as well not even for the weather.
Look
look the meteorologists are always
like this probably going to happen.
It's never a 100% chance of rain.
It's always like a 90% chance or
10%.
You can predict the weather to an extent
but that's not always what's going to happen. No, I don't worry about
that at all. You've heard of MKUltra?
It's conspiracy theory. Of course I've heard
of it. I know all about it.
But like for example
Unabomber was involved with it. Of course I know about
it! And most of the information
was destroyed...of course, right?
Any crazy conspiracy you can just
have like-just assume that I know what
you're talking about. So yes anyway uh i i think that a lot of people
i'm going to be very curious to see what the actual investigation into this
uh represents because there are actually shows because it is insane how many
fuck-ups there are. And I think also
like, this is what I'm saying
is how nobody trusts the media anymore
It's because they just
They knew that Sky was on... They put shit out there
that is so obviously
fucking fake.
And it's also, I think the other issue
this is especially true
and this not the same thing but it's like a parallel
and kind of the same thing with games media.
How many games media websites
ran articles about how Resident Evil 5
couldn't be remade
because of racist implications.
How many news media websites ran articles
about how Stellar Blade was objectifying women?
They all did, because they act the same.
They're all the same and they are against you.
They are not for you.
They are not in service of you.
They do not exist to enhance your life
and to help you learn anything.
They are not there to help you at all.
They are there to make you mad
and make money off of the fact that you're
mad.
That's the reason why.
Local news is more unbiased?
It depends on probably what the news is, I have
no idea. The problem
is not that a media gets everything wrong,
but the fact that they manipulate the facts to push their agenda.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, it's being misrepresented.
Where do you get your news from?
The way I get my news
is that I don't trust conclusions.
I only trust if information is transmitted in the same way.
So generally, if
I see that information is
the same for everything,
I assume that this thing is true and then in terms of like what
that information means i generally make a decision myself about it does that that make sense? So like I'll listen to what was reported and
like, what happens but like oftentimes news kind of implies a conclusion
And i don't read the conclusions that they have.
I just look for the information.
That's the way I see it.
What? You can look at the sources, man?
Well, for sure, right? And that's what I'm saying, right? Because you can look up the sources.
Yeah.
You said every platform copies the news?
Oh, absolutely. That's why I look and see.
Absolutely. People can't tell
a difference between opinion pieces and factual reporting?
Well, usually that's because there isn't a difference. Yeah let's be honest.
Let's see if I can find...oh yeah! yeah. That's right.
I thought that was fucking funny, I'm gonna be honest.
I love that shit.
Yeah, absolutely nice one, absolutely.
This is one of the things, like so look at this.
Are you refusing to serve customers?
She's refusing to service. She just said she's refusing to serve us.
She just said she was refusing to serve us.
This girl over here just said she was refusing to serve us.
So we have to go somewhere else?
I want her to say it again.
Okay, and this is Subway where?
Because of my T-shirt?
Because of my T-shirt? Because of my t-shirt?
I'm sure somebody would love to hear that.
Are you...
This is one of the only times I'm ever going to say this, so get ready.
I agree with Karen here.
It is not the decision of the employee to decide which shirts are acceptable and not acceptable to provide service to. There is a company policy, and she needs to abide and behave by that
company policy. Her own personal opinion about which church she finds offensive and not offensive is
not relevant to her. And that does not give her the right to refuse service
whenever she is working for a store.
She's the Karen?
Sorry, you're right actually. You're right! I'm just so used to seeing the crazy person who's calling being referred to as The Karen. No no, I confused you guys because it confused me too
because usually it's the person recording
being obnoxious.
She absolutely can refuse, but
I can't
consider this. Or is it the customer
is always right? Well,
no, but I think the guy isn't right.
I don't think that she should be able to refuse service
because she doesn't like somebody's shirt.
It
should not be based off of her own
personal beliefs or her own opinion.
She is working for the restaurant,
she should abide by the restaurants policy and what the restaurant
says to do. It's money but you don't know what it says
it's not relevant what it says
it doesn't matter It's not relevant what it says.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah,
it's irrelevant at the end of the day subway unless subway
has a policy for not serving people with certain shirts on.
Then she should be serving him.
It's that simple.
She's not allowed to refuse due to discrimination.
If the man was being rude or throwing a fit, she has every right to refuse service? Absolutely.
100%. What about
the gay wedding cake?
What about it? I'm very confused.
I'm trying to think, like...
what are you trying to imply there?
What?
I'm very confused. Given Soraya,
she owned the store?
It's a franchise.
The wedding cake owner
was her own business?
Um, the wedding cake owner was her own business? And also, if you're refusing
to make a wedding cake...
Like for example
Walmart. For example, like Walmart.
For example, if you go to Walmart and you ask
to have them make a cake
and you want a swastika on the cake
they're probably going to tell you no.
But if you ask them
to make a cake for you, and
you are just asking
them to make a cake, well then they have
to make a cake for you unless
it's like a weird thing right and so it depends on
the type of service that's being declined
does it matter the franchise still answers to corporate yeah you just
disproved your own point?
Did I really?
Explain it.
Well, she showed the shirt that was made by an artist on a service like Subline?
Exactly. Yeah and's a certain type of
service. You said that
the use of hateful imagery is grounds for
refusal. So do you think
he's asking her to make
the sandwich in the shape of a swastika
do you think that before this clip started he said i want you to make a
subway sub but not the normal footlong i want it
to be like a swastika.
No, but
the customer is clearly wearing something hateful dude come on
whose decision is it for it to be hateful is it her decision how do you know?
How do any of us know?
Does Subway have a policy for declining people
based off of the clothes that they're wearing?
This person came in, they're wearing. This person came in,
they're wearing a shirt.
It is not her decision to decide
to decline service to somebody
based off of what shirt they're wearing.
That's the truth.
And you know
what I think too?
I think that if there was a justification
for it, she would have called
the police and she would have made sure that,
and had the person removed.
She wouldn't be ignoring it.
Why call the police? Because the person's trespassing at that point.
Just providing context, nothing makes a difference. The shirt reportedly says homosexuality is a sin.
Yeah.
Let me read the rest of this. But do we... to refuse service to anyone full stop but the we uh the wii is subway not her
she is acting as an employee of subway she. She should follow the rules
that they give her.
It's not even a question.
Here's what I said to my shit?
Yep, there it is.
You can say I that's clear hateful how does anyone know
subway franchises don't work like mcdonalds i think you're wrong about this one. Do you think she called Portman a freshman?
So, she's subletting? So, she has the right to refuse? That's not
the way a franchise works.
Guys, I'm going to be honest.
I don't think that you should
be able to decline service to somebody because
you don't like what their shirt is saying. And if it's so problematic
that it's bad, you should have the police to remove them. It is a completely subjective judgment.
If you are working at a store, your job is to provide the
service that people go to the store
to provide. Not to decide
what shirts are acceptable and what shirts
are not acceptable. This is
not your job. This is not your responsibility and if you're working for a larger company
You need to follow their rules and behave in that capacity
If you think anything else than that
You are fucking delusional.
It's not even a question.
And wherever they aren't,
Some of my franchises do work differently though.
I'm fairly certain That franchises do work differently, though.
I'm fairly certain that franchises still dictate basically the way
companies like what they can remove
people for, like what they're doing
in general, right? Just because
a subway works differently than a McDonald's doesn't mean that it's not
a franchise. Like, obviously, Subways work the same way.
Not with Subway?
Nah, that sounds like bullshit to me.
Hmm... not with subway. No, it sounds like bullshit to me.
They do and they don't.
Yeah.
It's farming confrontations.
Absolutely.
It's delegation of authority. If i have the lord inspect the shirt if the girls manager or supervisor should absolutely
have that authority i think that declining people based off
of their shirt is a problem making a sandwich for someone who is wearing something
you disagree with does not in any way go against your rights
or beliefs. If they're asking you to do
something against your rights or beliefs, it's a different story.
So unless they made a specific request that was special
against your belief, then they can't outright refuse i agree
i completely agree it is an insane thing the refusal of service and retaliation to shirtless
is not properly just customers violent yeah? Yeah of course. That's a totally different thing
It's against the law
as well? Absolutely
What if they're running something very politically divisive?
Well I think that's to determine
Anybody can make that decision Like What you think is politically divisive is not what somebody else thinks, and that's why you need to have rules that in general everybody agrees with. That's the reason. That's why you have those rules.
Was a general manager of 300 subways
were he never instructed by franchise
specifically on refusal of service
when it was set setup by the franchise?
I think it depends.
Like, for example,
if somebody owned a subway and the subway
started declining service to people that were
wearing all kinds of different things,
I think Subway corporate would probably do
something about it. That's what I fucking think.
I think if Subway...
There was a Subway corporation that had a standout
that had Jared standing there.
Subway Corporation would figure out a way to stop it.
That's total bullshit and everybody knows it.
It's common sense.
Think about it for three seconds.
Wanted to borrow it?
Yeah, bullshit take.
It's common sense.
Just take the L. Don't know enough about subway it's a franchise they're all like that that's why it's a franchise
what if this shirt said jared did nothing wrong
well it could be a different jared at that point right
yeah this is crazy bro uh the franchisor sets
the franchise agreement the franchisee has to
abide. The agreement specifies most rules and
regulations that employees, franchise owners have to
abide by. Of course they do.
Yeah, and that's what I'm saying is that those rules
and regulations will eventually defer to the corporation they will
they eventually will one of these room temperature iqs in chat say
but does he know all the subway war yeah exactly sure can see a most racist
thing your work is to make a sandwich so you make the sandwich it's that simple
if you look it up on daily, there's an article about this.
The shirt says they show the shirt.
Oh, I'm sure this has happened in a lot of different places.
The Western world is losing common sense.
It's so obvious.
I think people just like to argue.
That's that's the reason why.
People like to argue.
Here we go.
Am I still defending this one
i think that a lot of times people like to take an adversarial position about something so they
can argue and act like they're smart. But in almost every circumstance,
all you have to do is apply any degree of common sense
to it, and then it's immediately
discovered that it's stupid.
Like, it's instantly discoverable.
Want to educate other people who like to argue? Absolutely.
Here we go.
I'll make it as short and sweet as I can.
I have several doctors,
We took my blood test. We found elevated red blood cell counts, and then we looked for other markers.
We found those markers.
They determined that it was certainly polycythemia,
potentially
polycythemia vera
and they were going
to treat me as if it was
polycythemia. Naturally.
And that's what we've done for the last two years with the
plan to always
eventually get this bone marrow
test, but again I never wanted to get it done because
it's stupid it's painful so they didn't want him so let me listen to this again.
It was polycythemia,
potentially polycythemia
vera. So it wasn't?
And they were going to treat me as if it was polycythemia vera.
That's what we've done for the last two years with
the plan to always eventually get this bone marrow test. But again, I never wanted
to get it done because it's stupid. It's painful. My friend Maria was talking
about her last night.
She said she had it done.
She literally asked me not to ever get it done.
She's fighting cancer herself and she says it's not worth it.
This is not a riff of manipulation, you're being real?
Okay.
No.
Because the added thing... It's probably in the chat right now.
So let me get this straight
there was a possibility that you had cancer
but you didn't want to do the test to see if you did have cancer,
but you're willing
to take the treatment for cancer
for two years.
Okay? and then the qualification for that is
I had a friend that has cancer
and they said not
to get the test.
When you manipulate or you lie, I notice it's like yeah my friend told me this and
its the added stuff.
Yeah.
Okay.
I will send you a screenshot of that right now if you'd like to see it.
To be clear for the audience what what Boogie just said is that
his video two years ago should have said
I have this
disease. It may be the
non-cancer type or the cancer
type but they're treating me for the cancer type that's what the video
should have been that's where the video exactly should have been there we go so he doesn't have
okay um i was at the time at the end So when he said he had cancer,
he was lying.
Okay.
I mean, wow.
I feel like that's so simple, right? I mean, wow. I feel like that's so simple, right?
I mean, yeah, pretty much.
I feel like that's just about it, right?
I'm trying to see if there is anything more
to this but I feel like yeah i i think he's just making it
up oh here we go
you're fine You're fired.
You have to be fired.
Like, you are fired.
You are fired.
You have to be kicked off this fucking show.
This is crazy.
This is so fucking bad,
and I have sympathy for you. I actually do and I know a lot of people don't. They want you dead
but I do because I understand how
complex this is. I truly
do. How is it complex?
He went and he said something for sympathy,
And he said it in the way that he said it
In order to farm sympathy.
That's the reason why he did it.
Like when personal
gain
and coincidence converge
it's not a coincidence
95% of the time
99% of the time. 99% of the time.
But, like...
This is so fucking bad!
I don't even have other words
than just bad, bad bad bad and i know
that you're not evil i know you're just look i don't even have a better word for
this you're retarded you're retarded.
That's the word I use.
You have to be
fucking fired.
But that's
the word I use. this is so fucking like
oh man
there's so much grey here
this is not a black and white situation
I think it is honestly
he said he had cancer when he didn't know
what to be true.
Yeah, I mean
there it is.
Like...
That's it.
Shit! He may still have fucking cancer!
I mean this is not black and white. It's not like you fucking ran and did like a
fucking... I got cancer scam
and ran a GoFundMe when you never had it.
Like that's not... It's not like you did something like that.
Yeah but he definitely put it out there for sympathy
he absolutely did like if you're gonna go out
there and tell people something like that you're doing it probably for
sympathy we're not talking about fucking evil, alright?
Right.
We're talking about a retard.
I don't agree with Keem about this, the way i think that boogie has been shown
to be a manipulator in a lot of cases and i think that he plays off manipulation as being stupid
but i don't think that boogie is really that stupid in a lot
of cases. I think that he
just manipulates people a lot
and this is him doing it again
and he's manipulating this situation
as if it's like oh I'm just a big idiot that messed
this up because I'm dumb. No you put it out there on purpose
because you wanted the sympathy from people. That's the reason why
and your banking off of people the bigotry of low expectations that they think
that you're so dumb, that you couldn't have done this on purpose. I think that
you did it on purpose. I do. I think you knew this all along and i remember seeing that video
of like his girlfriend crying with him that like he might die
and it's like i bet that probably happened because he's probably manipulating her too.
Absolutely, yeah. And that's
just what happens. It's really weird.
As long as
documentary it was.
There's like 12 no fuck no she said 20 or 21
feel
like even though you're
fired and you're gonna be gone for a while...
You should have some type of pathway back.
You should have to go through fucking hell, to be honest!
The play button? We'll sell that. We'll get it to
charity. Jesus. Reading
these super chats is one. Here's another
thing. This should be one of the punishments
if you ever want to come back on this fucking show again.
Not a fucking single drop
of fucking Mountain Dew or
Diet Mountain Dew should ever touch
your fucking lips again.
It should never touch your lips
Yeah, what's in the cup?
Oh yeah, you've got a gray cup yeah what's in the cup again that's already a choice i already in it you're right now right this water and don't look what what what what all is
the other drink tonight i brought into
he brought in two cops
i could put soda in that cup.
Oh, yeah, here we go.
Yes, Boogie is threatening to...
Obviously this comes as a surprise to basically no one
now he's threatening to like kill himself and stuff like this do Do you remember what I said, guys?
Remember
what I said?
Man, that's Man.
The emotional manipulation.
It's crazy.
Three days later,
this is already happening.
I thought it would take a little bit longer than that.
The first comment, yeah, I mean
it said Biden step down now bro he's not stepping
down it's not going to happen right at first here
yeah and the thing is like
I'm not smart because I figured this out or anything.
What I think is, like – so if you take all the apples off an apple tree,
you can predict that there will be another apple
that will come out of the apple tree, right?
All I'm saying is that this is an apple tree i bet we're going to get another apple and look at this we've got a whole fucking harvest
that's it it's obvious this is what was happening.
I mean, there's
enough points you can draw a pretty
clean line. Do you think
it might be compulsive for him? Almost like a mental
issue or an addiction?
I... for him almost like a mental issue or an addiction I um let me see if I can find it.
And pulled up. Here we go. Dude, like he was excited as fuck!
Is this it?
Yeah.
That.
Like he was excited as fuck, He comes home and is like...
You know that episode of South Park where fucking
Cartman's like, I've got the whole dude to hit?
He's like, I've got this
cancer bro! Now I can fucking
make tons of views!
And I can fucking get tons of views! And I can fucking...
Like imagine like, the action out there.
Hold on! No he won't be told
no no no
Oh this is going to be in his head right now No, no, no. This is...
He's better than eating a sandwich, Destiny!
You fucking piece of shit!
Dude like he was
He is
holding himself hostage.
Not sharp
enough? No, no, definitely not.
I mean, like you could- if you were
dedicated, you could probably do that first
class manipulator I think he's manipulating
too I really do I think that
he is doing this for
attention and it's
just it's overdramatic.
Well what he's doing
is he's trying to make people
feel sorry for him.
That's it.
Yeah,
he's making people
feel sorry for them.
It's manipulation, absolutely.
And the best part is
I can guarantee you
what Destiny
probably said.
I What Destiny probably said.
I can guarantee you...
I think I know what it was, yeah!
So, yeah, ripped into him, exactly right? So, yeah, Ripped into him. Exactly right?
So, yeah.
You already know.
And so nobody wants to truly kill themselves?
Shows it off?
I mean, I don't know about that, right?
It depends.
What is this?
Sandwich destiny?
No, no, no, No, no, no.
Put that away right now!
Put that away right now. What else do you lie about?
Your real name,
not even Boogie?
I think it has to be the...
That's a nickname.
No, no, no!
It's amazing! no, no. Does not even care about what?
Yeah,
it's amazing.
The end of Keemstar hung up on Boogie
was a good show.
Oh no,
this is a great show.
It really is.
It's a great show to watch.
It's just amazing to me that
he's totally gonna do it
yeah Boogie suicide baiting with a butter
knife is the funniest thing ever
bro like
I think that this is only going to happen...
Boogie is ever only going to change
when he runs out of people
to feel sorry for him.
Because I think that's what ha like you know like his youtube channel it's people feeling sorry for him his girlfriend it's people feeling sorry
for him people feeling sorry for him and I think that he will be able
to change and grow as a person
when people stop feeling sorry for
him. So I hope this is a good thing
that happens to him. I really do, and I understand
that might sound like a weird thing to say, but
that's what I believe.
Didn't he play games and yell at the
screen anymore? Yeah, exactly. He needs to actually face
consequences. People are enabling
him and allowing this to happen. And thinking that he's
not doing it. Do you think it's since her childhood?
Yeah! Like his mom was a crazy bitch
I remember like...I know Boogie. I've watched
Boogie for fucking
10 years. I know that...
I remember watching him
in Wrath of the Lich King.
I remember doing
Isle of Conquest
when it came out,
watching Boogie.
Like,
when did that come out?
Like 2009 or something?
Yes! You know what the fuck? Well, I mean. Yes, you know him.
Yeah, I know. Parasocial, right?
Parasocial Andy, I know him.
I've talked to him a handful of times.
He's always
like his mom was crazy
and he had a bunch of problems with her
and it was like a lot of issues, etc.
Yeah!
Absolutely!
Generational hypocrisy?
Yeah, absolutely!
But at the end of the day if if your parents are crazy and then you're crazy,
it's not their fault, it's your fault.
That's the reason why.
What do you even mean?
He was on a downward slope.
Yeah, absolutely.
He was on the same with Jeff Keighley at some point.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I feel pretty bad for this girl.
I really do
she just learned the truth. She did.
So, can we normalize
that VTubers have relationships?
I made a post about my boyfriend
and I lost 40 followers.
Don't be scared
to show who you love.
The only thing that I have to say about that is,
I'm surprised it wasn't more.
95% of the people that watch content like this want to watch it because they imagine themselves in a relationship with the person that they're watching.
That's the reason. person that they're watching.
That's the reason.
It's crazy that this obvious
fact, people like
talking around it because they don't want to admit the obvious.
There is a reason why idols in Japan and Korea are not allowed
to have public relationships.
What are we even talking about?
I think that for a lot of girls online, they would lose probably 80%
of their viewership if the people that were watching them
were not interested in them romantically and i think 80 is a massive understatement
that's just the way it is
so don't peewee thoughts yeah this happens for all of them and again it's not their fault it's not like this is a bad thing but you're never going to normalize
being in a relationship because being in a
relationship means that
the people can't
fantasize about you
being their girlfriend.
It kills the fantasy.
That's why you're not
allowed to do it with idol culture.
Know your audience.
Know your fucking audience.
Yeah, exactly.
Know your audience.
I don't know how the fuck somebody believes in a skill issue.
Yes.
Happens to girls. Yes skill issue. Yes. Happens to girls?
Yes, exactly.
It's not fantasy?
It's unhealthy as fuck? Yep.
The fantasy
sells unfortunately.
Okay. the fantasy cells unfortunately there are married streamers to keep it a secret i can't imagine anybody donating
50 to 100 subs every day.
Yeah, absolutely!
Like a lot of these guys...
So like you really think that these guys are gifting all these subs and
all this money to these female streamers because they think
that they like the content? No.
Like they're doing it because
they want to be in a relationship
with a girl, it's obvious
It's astonishing
to me
that people can just be so
blatantly fucking naive and dishonest.
It's insane.
MrLoser
suckling any attention they can get?
Parasocial behavior? Absolutely.
It happens to male YouTubers too, just way less because there's more males
to female ratios on twitch exactly yeah and that's another big reason right
and this is the reason why it happens a lot of twitch and like with e-tubing too
is because it's a male-dominated space
in terms of viewers.
That's the reason.
It represents true? I used to stream music
and my mixes, but I left
Streaming World because of dms and the abuse i
received for having a partner well absolutely it's not even like that's just
because why are they there they're there for that reason
we're so simple of titty yeah exactly vtubers shouldn't have relationships i think that they should do whatever they're comfortable with doing
and if they're comfortable having a relationship publicly, then they should do that
and if not, then they shouldn't do that
But what they definitely shouldn't do is
They shouldn't try to be dishonest with themselves
and tell themselves that like you're making a character
and it's this cute little cat girl with big boobs
And you think that people aren't watching you because they are attracted to that?
What are you talking about? Like, it's just...
What are you thinking?
How is this even...
How is this real life?
It's funny I didn't know
you have a boyfriend because you talk to him all the time on stream.
Yeah, VTuber has a Twitch emote of her kissing her husband? Uh oh!
That's bad!
Yep there it is.
And so yeah, I've been seeing this happen a lot
and I think it's going to continue to happen even more
Intentionally naive versus naive intentions
yep your content dictates your relationship 100%.
How do you become a VTuber
and not know
your target audience
or socially awkward
parasocial dudes?
Well, I think there's
plenty of VTubers
like there's this spectrum
of catering to it, right?
But at the very end of the spectrum
at the very most extreme end
it's cute, kawaii
innocent, timid
shy cat girl with big boobs.
That one is like that's the pinnacle. The spectrum is what most viewers are on. Oh, man.
Man, ain't that something, huh?
That's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy how that is.
I bet the gender of the tuber and the toon aren't even
the same most of the times? I bet they mostly are.
Actually, that's what I think.
So you combine that with VRChat for recipe
for disaster? Oh, absolutely!
Like, I never gave
Ushlada a lover in Final Fantasy XIV? Well that's the reason why.
They thought they were in a relationship? Yeah you got someone on your stream saying spam spam links to shit yeah I don't know who
that is wasn't at the whole premise of vtubing to sell a waifu to an audience
yeah it obviously is so yeah um just keep in mind uh if you a VTuber or if you're a girl streaming on Twitch
the majority of people are there because they want to imagine themselves
in a romantic relationship with you.
And that is easily over half, if not 80%
or 90%, or realistically probably
95% of those people. It doesn't matter what
you tell them, if they were actually feeling that way,
if they actually thought
that, that they didn't have a chance
they would stop watching.
That's the reason.
It is.
True, not even funny?
It's not that it's funny,
it's not that they're wrong,
but it's just the truth.
I'm 20% gang? Yeah, maybe. I mean it's not everybody. Hey, it's not everybody but a lot of them. A lot of them. Especially mods of course have you guys ever seen in small
and small girl streamer streams where like they're mods or trying to like push
away new people from the community? Have you guys ever noticed that before?
Yes. I wonder why is that?
What's the reason?
Why could that... why would that happen? Isn't that crazy?
Yeah, I never... yeah what could they...
They're so protective. Well protective why would they be protective
what could possibly be the reason for that
ah give me a second it's so sad and bad yeah but that's just
what happens well
I'm gonna play hey I saw was gonna play through on Liberty today. We're gonna get into it
We're gonna fucking get into it. I haven't played it today
It's a new fucking MMO it just came out today
I'm gonna try it out and at least log on and around a little bit i downloaded the game off stream
and so now we have the open beta we're ready to go six hours later yeah but it
could be longer tomorrow.
If I don't feel like playing a game, I don't play
a game. That's just the way it is.
Keep in mind that any time people complain about the content on screen, you run the risk of being permanently banned.
I'm not interested in people's complaining,
I don't want to read it. Obviously you have every right
to have an opinion that you want, but I have every right also
not to listen.
So this is the new MMO.

This is its first open beta in the West.
It's been out
in Korea for a bit.

Well, we'll see what happens if the game can load.
It's dog shit?

Biden just dropped out
no he didn't.
If he dropped out I'd know about it. It's Jover. Yep.
Everybody would be spamming, everybody
would be spamming if that was true.
Everybody'd be going crazy if that was true
look at the news i can't believe it i'm actually gonna look at this
i can't believe it, I'm actually gonna look at this. I can't believe I'm actually doing this, I'm so stupid.
Oh my god! Wait...
What the fuck wait oh my god what president biden has reportedly agreed to step down as the democratic nominee for 2024. According to multiple sources, including political analyst Halpern
Biden is expected to make this announcement
as early as this weekend
It's also reported that he will not endorse
Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.
The decision comes amid speculation and pressure from prominent Democratic figures.
Oh my God!
I mean, it's not confirmed. Hey guys, it's not confirmed. Let me watch this.
Carl, according to multiple Democratic sources
This is happening all of a sudden
Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once
And that's what's happening.
According to my sources, President Biden has agreed
to step down as a Democratic nominee.
It will not happen as early as this weekend
A speech has been drafted for him
He will continue on as president,
is his intention.
He also will not, I'm told,
endorse Vice President Harris
as his successor.
That's crazy.
They're hoping that he will
endorse an open process
in which the convention will be opened to vice president
harris and a few other candidates in chicago depict the republican democrat nominee for
president the belief is that Vice President Harris
is already looking at potential running mates to go
to Chicago with a full ticket, including
one possibility Andy Beshear the governor
of Kentucky and perhaps the Governor of Kentucky, and perhaps Wow!
Governor Shapiro. Other possible candidates
who are being talked about include Gavin Newsom
the governor of California
perhaps Gretchen Whitmer, and again
the vice president running
On the first ballot, the regular delegates would be allowed Mayor and again the Vice President running.
On the first ballot,
the regular delegates would be allowed to vote under this agreement that's being talked about amongst
the president and high-level
Democrat officials.
The regular delegates would vote on the first ballot.
If there is no winner in the first ballot,
the so-called superdelegates would be allowed to
vote on the subsequent ballot.
This decision was reached, I'm told, all of a sudden
because of the high level pressure pressure from Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and others,
as well as the decision of many of Biden's top aides, that there was no path forward for him.
That he would not be able to win this election.
Oh my God! Win the general election. Wow. there was no path forward for him that he would not be able to win this all my
god in the general election
and i'll be stepping aside again as early as this weekend
holy shit What?
He's not... He hasn't tweeted anything out or said anything.
Oh, my God! What? not true he hasn't tweeted anything out or said anything oh my god back to this beef packed a bed Hey, it could be fake.
Guys, this could definitely
be fake.
This is only one group of people
saying this.
Newsmax though i don't is news max reputable i mean i feel like
i feel like there's no way you would say this unless it was, like, a for-sure thing.
There's no way! That would be insane if you...
Unconfirmed reports he's going to drop
out and he won't endorse.
Times Online is saying the same thing.
Oh my
God!
You can't trust the media?
I know, I know, I know.
But like... I just feel like if they were gonna report something
Like this
I mean you you... dude
Apparently the White House
has rejected those claims?
Yeah let me get-
Fox News is live and saying this?
Yeah. Sorry, I know that we were about to get into it
but like this is fucking huge
I'm gonna look
into this. Give me a minute guys
I'm sorry
I know obviously this is Sorry.
I know, obviously, this is a little annoying at farming.
Yeah, just give me a minute and we'll go back to it in a couple of minutes.
Okay, guys? Give me a minute. Um...
Give me a minute. What the fuck?
Fox News Live.
Where's
the, uh... This is just some bullshit.
Where am I going to be able to find it
there's no fox on youtube yeah i know i want to see this...
Jesus, there's so... I have so many fucking tabs open. I'm getting confused.
Okay. I'm just gonna close a lot of these right now
okay close it no it's fine it's fine
i've got it now i'm just looking to see if there's any more posts about this
nobody else is saying anything about this at all
joe biden tweet no no he didn't read anything Yeah, he's talking about a hard day's work should lead to a fair day's pay.
That's it.
Like there's nothing else... Yeah, the video looked A- that's it
like there's nothing else yeah the video looked ai probably an attempt to force them to bow out
nbc is like dude, this is insane.
Spreading misinformation
real quick? Absolutely.
And we'll have the clip out within an hour?
Oh yeah bro, we're gonna make all this shit up and then he'll have
to leave. Yep there it is that's just the way it is. That's what we do. Joe's not sleeping
can't believe anymore? No no me just look into this real quick okay
uh rooters and daily mail are reporting considerations articles are disappearing though?
Fox News.
Trump will not say Biden's name! by his name.
Oh, God!
Oh, that's none of this.
Biden could drop out as soon as this weekend? uh-oh
but this was hours ago
this isn't new
if you say his name three times, he'll become the president?
Good one.
Oh my god! Yeah, I'm gonna give it a couple of minutes and we'll see if any new information about this comes up.
Washington Post said a couple hours ago that Pelosi was looking to convince Biden
to step down.
Do you guys think he should step down?
Yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah, I think so too.
I do.
Did you go to a retirement home?
Yeah.
I remember there was a comment on,
whenever I watched the Republican,
not Republican,
the presidential debate,
there was a comment who said,
I work in a nursing home and I hear these quote debates every single day.
I couldn't fucking forget about this, man.
She was so funny.
Oh my god.
Democrats are smart enough he's the only way to beat Trump after he wins? We'll sort out the rest later.
Yeah! He should have done it a long time ago rather than now because it causes chaos.
Yeah, if he steps down, the Democrats lose
because there's no way they can promote a good candidate within three months.
But that also means
that they remove all the bad candidate baggage
and there's only
three months to add new baggage.
So I could see that.
Now, if I was going to put anybody out there
If I was the Democrats
You know who I'd put?
Michelle Obama
That's who I'd do. Absolutely
Everybody remembers Obama.
He was great. Remember, he was so
good at talking. You didn't have anything
bad happen and this is like his wife
so it'll kind of be like Obama
again and remember how good that was? Let's just do
that again. See, guys? There it is!
No, I...
She'll lose? I don't know.
She doesn't want to do it?
No, I know.
I don't think she wants
To do that
That's what she said
My God
I don't think
I really don't think
That has any
It's total bullshit
It's crazy
I feel like people are okay joking about it
because everybody knows how fucking ridiculous it is.
No thank you? Well, i think that's like i mean if they're looking to win like not i'm not talking about like the
opinion of like what you who you like i i think that would be probably the
best chance it had to went rfk you think that they be probably the best chance they'd have to win. RFK?
You think that they're going to actually push RFK?
Fuck, I think that there's a better chance
That the Democrats will nominate Donald Trump
Yeah will nominate Donald Trump.
Yeah, I mean at that point they might as well just
nominate Donald Trump.
Yeah, that's not going to happen guys.
Newsom is the best option?
Yeah, Gavin Newsom's the best option? Yeah, Gavin Newsom
The California governor
If they let RFK primary months ago
They would have had a chance now
Holy shit they would have had a chance now. Yeah, but holy shit. Let me
see if I can refresh this again and
see if there's any other information about this.
Reporting scratch he drops out
it'll be one of the most selfless acts
in service to the country any politician
in my lifetime
will also make a dire importance of defeating Trump
I mean, like, dude,
if he doesn't drop out
this is going to hurt him
so much.
Yeah. This is going to hurt him so much. Biden isn't dropping out.
I'm thinking about like sorry this is so Sorry, it's so fucked up. I don't even know how to say it.
It's too fucked up for me to say.
Which is why I think it's so funny.
Oh man...
So, what if he doesn't drop out but they just put up like a doll or a paper mache that looks
like biden and you can literally see the strings moving his mouth or even the corpse,
just moving him out and it's like no Biden he is right here.
What do you mean? What do you mean he's not
running?
Look at him!
There he is.
He's in great health.
Yeah, it's just like an AI voice moving his mouth around. I could see that happening but it would be funny...
Oh my god!
Snifka is trying to see if we have any demis-
telling us to step down?
Yeah, this is a statement from who?
Oh my God.
Oh God... Oh my god. Boone and Alderson... Oh god!
This is crazy!
Look at this!
Election on Sesame Street?
I guess so!
Did the Democrats have been trying to push them out for months?
I bet they have!
Oh my god...
... Oh my god. Wow!
Well, I'll give it a couple more minutes and we'll see if there's
any news that comes out about
this, and if not... it's- imagine
how dumb this guy is gonna be. Dude, this is like something
that, if you reported this and
you're wrong
in 20 years
people will bring this up and this will haunt
his career for the rest of his life.
Of you going
and saying the president's dropping
out, and he ended up not
dropping out good? No, I agree with you.
I think it is a good thing. But holy
shit!
They say no announcement until Sunday?
Yeah, but like the thing is...
I don't know
Newsdex is zero anyway. Maybe you're right, I'll be right back and I can use the bathroom. so so um so so so. so so so Oh fuck. Biden's older than the mummy? Yeah.
Mmmmmmmm... Mmmmmmmm... mmm man
Man man
that's crazy
I guess we're gonna find out
yeah, I guess we're gonna find out yeah I don't know what else to say
I mean there's nothing else really for me to say like yeah people say this
might happen
who knows
every time i come on stream there's a historical event
ideas so holy shit man I guess so. Holy shit, man!
So true, yeah it's really kind of incredible to think about it you know?
It really is. Like we're living in interesting times.
We are.
I bet...
You know what?
I bet it's always like this.
I mean, like, you know, if you lived in, like, the year 800,
I bet 800 to 900 was like pretty much
pretty much the same right but like nowadays
holy so much stuff changes all the time.
Yeah it's amazing but I feel like in the last three to five hundred years
Shit has been going crazy!
Things have been... Like you grow up and there's horses you're old
there's cars you grow up people don't know how to fly an airplane
you're old there's jets you grow up people just learn how to use a computer
you're old now there's laptops and smartphones it's nuts
it's accelerating, you grow up
there is fucking slavery
You die
There is no more fucking... That's crazy!
There is no more fucking... That's insane
Think about that.
You grow up, yeah,
you're
British, Revolutionary
War happens, now you're American.
It's amazing there yeah? There's still
slavery? Yeah, but we don't really do that
as much here, right?
I mean, slavery kind of fell off.
I mean, you know, there's like
some like, ah, yeah, there's people that are
Working at like a
Jail, but that's not really
Slavery right? It's not really
Slavery
So it's not the same in America Yeah bro, it fell off in America now over probably in like what are they doing?
Probably Africa places in Africa. They're probably still fucking have slaves absolutely
Yeah, it's like your bro. It's free labor of course
They're gonna do it like i could easily see why they had slavery
of course fucking of course that's why so yeah slavery not mad yes slavery is not meta in america
anymore the meta now is we we have other people do slavery and
then we just have them we just pay them for the stuff they get from the slavery which is really
different uh and and that's that's good for us we going to just do NA West 30, okay?
Let's just do NA West 30.
I don't want to think about this.
I don't want to talk about this.
Let's just move on, okay?
We've already wasted enough time.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Eww...
Turn it up.
The Star of Siliveth
It is said to be the seal stone containing Sylvet.
Goddess of destruction.
This magical star of destruction was shattered into pieces all across
the world and those who are born with this fragment were called
the star children in 1192 during an age of conflict the arkham commander khazar sought to use
the power of star fragments as a tool of war and sent the witch calanthia
to the remote island where the wizard Yan Janath hid the star children.
That's not what it says. Is that me?
Nope, he's dead.
Okay.
It's a free open beta... yeah anybody can try the game out okay

Staff and wand. Alright well we're gonna go with great sword we've prepared all kinds of weapons okay
so move closer to lottie. Well, where is she?
Okay...
Ooh! Wait a second.
Ooh!
What the fuck?
I love how that just isn't explained at all.
That's like, yeah, by way In the past Captain DaVinci
Aaron led the resistance to
the big island in the Arkham Legion
But uneasiness still
lives here You left
Fortress Aaron to help Lottie transport military supplies.
Wait, she's transporting military supplies?
Ooh... Is this gonna hit me? No.
What's going on?! Let's head to the store! Is this gonna hit me? No
What's going on let's head to wispyrian
You haven't used a piton yet, have you peed on these nuts and do what I do Ha Nice.
T-Dog... Oh, okay. Alright got it.
You came across a watchtower that had collapsed
after an unusually powerful attack by the Archean Legion.
The rebel blocked the path, but you and Lottie used a grappling hook
and pitons to climb over it.
Okay.
It looks like the cart was destroyed by artillery! Oh no! Okay, oh
No
So all these people are like oh
Shit. Oh wait now she's a furry too! Oh we're both fur-
Oh wow!
Nice!
Okay... Let's keep going Nice!
Okay.
Let's keep going. Oh, oops. I don't really know what my abilities do.
It just gave me like seven different abilities, and I don't even know what any of them are, but that's okay
Oh, I thought I hit the button
I guess not.
Okay...
Oh, I gotta kill this guy too?
... Okay. Oh, it's like a sprint bar! I get it. So I can only be a furry for a certain amount of time until it's too much for me and I have to be a man again.
See? It's making my bar go down. Oh! I guess it's only in combat.
What's this?
Oh there's dwarves.
What's this blue thing?
Talk to her. what's this blue thing
talk to her the pulley lift rope we can't keep going like this uh-huh
there isn't one either we use this pulley to cross with Spirion, or we'd have to go by boat!
That won't do. Bermet is here so let's check the lift. I'll get this fixed.
You go help the other resistance members.
Okay, help the resistance members in need.
Well what do they want me to do? Alright. Well, between the two of us we'll have it fixed in no time. Sure, let's go.
What do they want me to do? Alright.
Wait can you see me? Wait what the fuck is this?
Examine the mark up the great tree. What the fuck is this?
Examine the mark of the Great Tree.
Okay...
Mark of Lysperion. Ooh! on
oh is there auto flight no they took it out Ooh.
Is there autoplay? No, they took it out of the game.
There was autoplay but they got rid of it.
Oh great.
I have a Funko Pop that's gonna tell me what to do.
Oh good. Yup. yep uh just get out of the way man
so i can fly?
That's kinda crazy, huh?
You defeated the black mid-trans that appeared where the fireballs landed
and then headed toward Whispirian.
Fortunately, Whispirian was still intact
but you couldn't help the Northguards because of a broken pulley lift
When you contacted Whispirian
A mysterious being bathed in light appeared
And led to the top of the great tree.
I actually think that this scuffed Baldur's Gate 3 narrator is kind of a good idea, because I really have no fucking idea what happened.
Yeah, that's probably better than not.
Why is it rigging? How did you get here? The lift was destroyed.
Or is there a game of a Paimon?
Because the people that play video games are stupid.
Wait a second, do you have the power of a star fragment?
I've heard Wispirian summons Starbearers.
It looks like that's true.
What?
Oh, thank you so much.
True.
Now please go to Tuoran's Tower.
Since you have the Star Fragment you can use Glidemorph to get there.
I'll go over all the operation details later.
Glidemorph?

You should know that! Oh, right. From the time when we barely escaped from the chapel in one...
You shouldn't have that either. It's a waste of space.
But what are we to do about your power?
At this rate you may be chased off like before or even lose
your life to a mana frenzy.
Ooh... what should we done?

of the people of this village you will need to follow protocol what the
protocol
to meet her you are going to need the password
ask the sundries merchant for the first half of the phrase and the skills researcher for the second half if you mention that
You are seeking a red flower. You will receive the answers you need
Okay, let's go talk to this guy then.
Ooh he is fat! So the priestess sent you. Maybe you've heard, but there have been some suspicious people asking about Martini recently.
They were wearing disguises, and it was clear as day they were from the Archeum Legion.
I don't know who those Archeums bastards want with her,
but under these circumstances we have no choice
but to be wary of outsiders what's the
password oh yes sorry suppose I got a little carried away the first half of the password is
the light fragment you can find out the rest of the phrase from the skills researcher be sure okay let's go talk to the next guy skills research issue
K to talk to the next year
was close. I can't believe the ghastly tales were true!
Okay...
Do you want to learn a new skill?
So, the priest has sent you. The second half of the password is whispers.
Head to the Castleton Infirmary on the north side of town
to meet Martinet.
Just say the password and they'll let you in.
By the way, many of the townsfolk including myself have been brought to health by Martinet Okay.
This one's inviting her to the party? I don't know how.
Have fucking- have Fox invite you. Ooh, that's a girl! suspicious outsiders, thought to be members of the Arkim Legion, had been
looking for... Ooh, that's a girl.
To meet with her, you had to meet the people
connected to her and prove that you had no ill
intent. After that,
you learned the password, The Light Fragment Whispers.
Oh I forgot what the password was.
It's good she brought that up. More talking quests? This hasn't been so bad.
What's this? The dark mass screams? I'm gonna say this, I wanna see what happens.
Oh... okay. Next! Ooh they're're gonna let me in!
Okay...
So we gotta talk to this girl.
I've come to you around before. So what brings you here?
I've come to ask about healing. As I was sure you heard on your way here,
I can't treat anyone right now unless it's an emergency.
Would you mind coming back later?
No.
Oh, I see...
Clay probably sent you to help with my research
The truth is
My sister is also suffering
from the same symptoms as yours, and I've been searching for a cure.

Holy!
Okay, let's go talk to the girl. Do you still help with... do you...?
You still have unanswered questions, I see.
Waypoints are one of the greatest implementations of Enliluk's magic.
They allow you to instantly traverse from one location to another I'm a wizard distortions between spaces using the elements of wind and earth next it was
the wizard clay who completed the schema to make waypoints, so that teleportation
could be accessible to everyone.
Anyone can use a
Waypoint without any special
training.
Try placing your hand on the waypoints in the plaza and at the Golden Rye Pastures.
Afterwards, talk to the Resistance Officer Ashton. He'll explain the rest okay whose ass oning a waypoint, okay.
Would you like to look around Castleton again? Okay, accept.
Hobbs of Laslan resisted Revolutius, and he usurped the throne.
But his dominion was taken by the Arcium Legion.
However, Laslan was freed again by the Founder's Order led by Captain Da Vinci to... I've heard this before.

Okay, there's my equipment.
And a dagger...
I got a long boy and
how do I
look at my pro- maybe P for profile? Okay.
So,
weapons. Can I swap these around?

Ooh!
I'm dual wielding them.
Oh shit.
Okay. I think that's it for this video. Thanks for watching. dual wielding them. Oh shit.
Strength for damage, even if you use bows? What?
That's not how games are supposed to work!
No, strength is for physical damage dexterity
is for range damage that's how the game is
that's how every game should be but they're trying to convince what you
try and confuse me they're trying to confuse me they try to confuse me again
the free was okay so free Wizards of nature is worse.
The free wizard... Okay, so free wizards are bad?
Okay, cool.
Let's go.
Alright. Alright, five. Damn that shit was crazy! Y'all see that. How do I change my...
Where do I look at my skills?
Profile.

Okay, so it's a train. Alright.
And this is active skills longbow
So what about the crossbow this is
long bow okay this is crossbow
okay these are the crossbows well i feel like crossbow's better so
we're gonna use crossbow
nimble leap uh yeah i guess i'll use this
i've decided that crossbows better because I just invented that.
Okay, that's what we're going to go
with for now.
What's in the box?
Oh, shit.
I set it on fire.
Okay. How can I help?
Okay.
The coffee carry at the GoldenEye Pastures works the always gloomy Oliver Tiller, the I'm level 3 now?
Oh, that's nice. I can zoom out.
Can't attack other players while under protection oh i was trying to hit a player oops
okay well who's this guy Okay.
Well, who's this guy?
He dead that's who he is.
Alright. Combat feels sluggish.
Yeah, no, I think it is.
I want to try
to play it and get an idea of what's going
on before I say anything the main ingredients for ransom
powder can be acquired from harvesters and insects in the golden rye pastures
yeah i'm trying to just suppose hard as a harvester which is a beta it's a beta?
It's a localization beta.
The game has already been out in Korea.
Like the games fully released in Korea.
It's a known entity, it's not like this is some
kind of unknown game.
These are my first impressions
with the game so far that I just played it.
I feel like the combat's really rough,
it's not very good,
the world building kind of sucks,
the graphics are amazing
and I think the concepts in the game
are kind of interesting
but overall, um...
like uh except for Jack-
okay I'll- Attilia I guess I'll join your group?
I guess.
I don't know what's going on.
Um... Lost Ark is better? Yeah, I think it is.
But I'm trying to be open-minded, okay?
I want to be open-minded.
That's why I don't want to express too much of my opinion so far.
Hmm...
Will bro play for two minutes max? Yeah, I know but like those are the most important minutes
because that's-that's the time that like if somebody uh isn't enjoying the game they're
not gonna play anymore if it's uh if it's bad at that point.
You know what I mean?
Like, I certainly wouldn't.
Damn! That's a big dick attack.
This combat does start very slow? Then wait for people to get me to improve it.
Yeah, yeah.
I recognize recommend classic combat yeah
i don't know i'm just going to play it
and figure it out
welcome okay so we'll pick this up when
you try to harvest the movement seem weird to you?
I mean, I can see why people say that
but it's so particular
I can't really even express what exactly it is.
Yeah, that does a lot of damage. I need to use that more.
Okay... yeah that does a lot of damage i need to use that more
okay
oh it's just cocksucker again.
Alrighty...
And a loot out of that? Okay all this is done and then I have to go all the way back.
Let me just run back, just to explore the game a little bit.
And is this... Yeah it is., let's go down this way
Are people spamming dickcats earlier? Were there dickcats in chat? I don't know about that.
If the boss combat is good, this might be worth it.
Yeah...I mean......I don't really what to think about it so far.
Like, I do really like the...
I think the graphics and the visuals for the game are great.
At least I think so.
Yeah. At least I think so.
I'm too far away, why am I too far away? Oooh get out of here bitch!
Alright now what? it
while you search for treasures hidden in ships wrecked by storms and chests that have been drifting you will
encounter the masters of the coastline who are they is it the seagulls
are they the masters look like normal crustaceans but when
you get up close you'll find that there's a greater threat than anticipated
oh no
okay okay what brings you here
okay
the last ingredient from landrick farmstead
you were able to meet the herbalist wilson Mega Lobster?
Is his name really
Mega Lobster? It is.
But it's... Gotcha, bitch.
I mean, he is Mega and he has a lobster?
I mean it tracks!
Get out of here bitch.
Okay...
That one attack does a lot of damage.
I feel like the longbow does the most damage honestly crossbows kind of like
you get a little bit more movement but you don't need to move with the long
bow because you just kill them before they
can get over to you
damn level five okay let's go this way then
I'll only add the rest of their bow skills
To 7 and 9
Because I'm not going to be clicking on those buttons
They're too far away
I'll key bind
them to something else.
I just want practice the spells man.
This looks a lot like Guild Wars? Nah, Guild Wars looks like guild wars nah guild
wars looks like shit compared to this this looks way better than guild wars
like fidelity wise style maybe guild wars could be better
but i personally don't think so.
I've never really been a fan of Guild Wars, never liked it.
Can I go up on this?
Kind of yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Ooh.
That's like the U-Aggro'd and Elite
sound from Remnant.
That shit stresses me out.
Okay.
Yeah, like visually I think this looks great.
I don't know what you guys think.
The world
looks really nice.
Okay. W game? Yeah.
Dogshit combat? I think the combat's the worst thing about... I actually think that also
um, like, I felt I actually think that also,
like, I felt the same way about Lost Ark.
Let me think of a game that I think has, like,
a really good story
that's, like, a really good story. That's like a fantasy game
Dark Souls
Um...
Hmm
Final Fantasy XIV? Oh, like the intro.
I don't know, I have to really think about it.
Let me go inside here.
Someone's someone's presence beyond the entrance and hear a click of a lock what up What up, bitch?
Yeah.
Yay, yay, yay, yay!
I know. I'll make the monocle The rancid powder you brought is excellent in quality.
I know!
I'll make the Mono Calming Potion for you right away.
Okay...
... very human dialogue all right here you are why don't you try it and see how it works What happened? Just as I thought. It's much more effective!
I tried to improve the efficacy, but I didn't expect the results to be this good...
The calming potion's effect is very effective this time.
I need to bring this to my sister right away! Is her sister hot? Oh, thank you so much. I made this potion earlier and used the same method to make it once more.
I hope so yes okay good
Mina Pie
Only Mina knows where my sister is
she told me to come find her at windhill shores if i ever needed to give
my sister something go there to bind minas trejo
the effect of the monocle and potion that martinez made was incredible we're gonna go over there soon after you
drink the potion you could feel your magic begin to settle down
Martina who had been researching away to relieve her older sister Adriana's pain
for so long
finally succeeded in creating a potion more effective than her other oh this
does more damage
I should use this
Why don't I just go and use the spells
And shit
I'm gonna just Use spells and shit I should I'm gonna just use spells and shit fuck this chain lightning from Frost Smokescreen?
Who cares about that?
Fireball.
Inferno Wave. Touch of Despair.
Curse Explosion? Healing, we don't care about that. Magic Circle. Okay,
we're gonna go with this
and then i'm going to use mystic shield
cool Yeah, I don't know which abilities work.
Work well together or not.
I feel like melee was...
The range for it felt really scuffed. That's why I stopped
playing melee.
What class is he?
I am a wolf.
This is my class right here, this is my purpose, this is my life. I'm a furry... for now.
Okay let's go back over to here and we'll look around.
Let me actually try some of this damage... okay.
That's chain lightning.
That's fireball.
Okay people are killing everything around me so i can't really
do anything
so it shoots three of those?
I don't know if i like this magic shit at all. Oh.
Yeah, it's okay.
I don't know.
How does the movement feel?
Uh, it's all right. Chastation? Oh fuck! Okay. We got some loot there. That's nice.
It's underwhelming.
It's okay.
I'm gonna try and play a little bit more
and see what's going on with it.
I think also, like, a lot of these games front load you with like 10 systems at
a time.
So it's like overwhelming to like play the game for like the first five hours
because of just how many things are going on at the same time
dude i'm gonna be honest i actually think mage sucks
maybe i should just go back to using great sword I don't know.
Greatsword's Biss?
Yeah, maybe you're right. Okay. Okay
Do you think AOC is taking too much time releasing
And these games could be taking advantage of that
No
If a game is good and it comes out
people will play it it doesn't matter when it comes out they
could have released elden ring at any time in any day in the next five or ten
years or the past five or 10 years and it would
been just as successful as it was.
I'm gonna try to use this sword again, The Great Sword.
Actually maybe I should just fucking try to play the game normally.
No! no!
No, I will not!
Okay, and then we're going to use Greatsword
and...
I guess the daggers?
Okay, let's try that out.
And I'll look at the greatsword abilities...okay
Valiant Brawl
Dash...Okay charge should be my number one because that's what i'm used to stunning blow death blow that's a good one i like deathblood sounds good because the death part.
Predatory Strike? That seems good. That's really good, too. I'm gonna use that.
Okay.
So now what? The news from Nina Pines was unexpected.
Adriana had ventured far away to avoid the Archim Legion, who had discovered her hideout.
She said that no matter how effective her potions were, they never lasted long enough.
Adriana set out to find a way to completely soothe its impetuous mana. Go up to the top here. Oh Ooh oh
unfortunately we're a bit late
oh Oh shit.
That one must have taken Adriana away!
You have a star fragment just like that girl.
I won't be going home empty handed after you! You dare interfere? That thing just got fucked up.
Oh shit, okay. Okay. Okay. Alright, even out of that. even if i have to pry it from your
okay Examine a faded journal, okay. I love a snake!...where Adriana had been hiding,
seeking the power of her soul fragment.
Only after defeating them did you discover
her research papers and a diary she
left behind.
There, she clearly recorded the difficult times
she had been through."
But I want to open up the key.
Can I sit in da chair?
Ornate book.
Look for clues hidden in the book.
What about it?
Touch the golden flower.
I'm clicking on nothing happened.
... I have to hold it down, okay. Okay. Ooh, is this a new weapon upgrade? who was she ended up he found a piece of parchment that looked like a letter
the letter contained details about janice carter someone adriana had met
uh oh it's night time.
The jaguars are out! Okay now what do I do? do. Wait, was I supposed
to do something?
I missed the loot? Yeah, I feel like I missed
something, didn't I?
Yeah, because the quest line ended.
And I feel like the main story quests probably didn't just end at level 5.
Witness this... Witness the events of the past by holding the Infinity Stone. so Archie Enforcers captured Martinae, the younger of two twin sisters.
By keeping her hostage they forced the shaman Adriana who wielded
the power of a star fragment to call forth the rains.
As the ritual began, rain cascaded from the sky accompanied by crashes of thunder. But the Archean horses
had altered the ritual.
Their tampering caused a cursed ring to fall on Laslin.
Uh-oh, that's the Mega Lobsters!
Creatures transformed into violent monsters that attack people...
This is a cool sequence. Yeah, I like this.
Adriana was shocked to witness what she had done
when the Archean forces turned on the sisters meaning to kill them now that they had served their pets
The only inspiring power of a staff fragment that laid dormant with an adri, and their enemies were annihilated in an instant.
In the aftermath, Adriana was beset by unspeakable disfigurations.
Swallowed by guilt over her role in causing the cursed rain. uh-oh
exit the lighthouse okay let me go do that.
Now what?
Okay I gotta go back
Can you turn into a bird? Yes. I'm a bird what What happens when I run on stamina while I'm birding?
Let me see what happens. Do i just fall out of the sky?
I'm running out of juice. Aw, shit!
Okay... we'll keep going this way.
The bird down, yep there it is.
Alright!
Hmm... Hmm.
What level can people get to in the beta? Is it like you can just get as high a level as you want? Yeah, I think melee... maybe melee is better.
50 as max? Okay. You can change the fox from another animal under morph menu?
Yeah, they haven't showed me that yet.
So I mean like there's probably a million systems in the game i'm not
familiar with yet because like it hasn't shown me what to do
how much money can you spend on beta? I don't know.
Did a double experience MSQ
so Mule gets 50 quick and tests it in-game?
Okay, that's a good idea.
Yeah, so far my opinion of the game is like
I'm gonna be honest
I don't really think it's that good
I think it kind of sucks
yeah now i i hope that by playing it more i I'm going to understand it more.
But so far,
I really haven't been impressed
by anything in the game
other than I think
some of the visuals
look pretty good.
The character movement feels like...
It feels like BDO. And that's not a good thing.
I don't like how character movement feels in BDO.
Okay, let's go over here and we're going to turn this end. Hit VN just use normal movement.
Well I'm just saying like how the character turns
and moves, and reacts to things. You can't really climb onto stuff
it's kind of weird.
But I'm just trying to play through it, right? I'm trying to get an idea what
to expect.
That's my perception right now.
Played too much WoW? No, I don't really think that's the...
Oh! What is this girl here for?
Where she at? I have to get a new treatment. Okay...
Alright well I guess we're going to have to go find her. her okay so she gonna do that it looks like a reused New World.
To be honest with you, I think the New World new player experience was really good.
Like,
I thought it was like great.
One of the best things about New World was the new player experience.
Okay, let's go that way. that's where the msq is
throw us into glasses nah bro like no no the first 20 levels of New World were amazing.
Bro, like even the first
30 or 40 levels were amazing.
After that it was like
ewwwww.
But before then? Oh, it was like... But before then,
oh,
it was great.
The entry new player experience
for that game
was incredible.
It's just the endgame
and the midgame was problematic.
That's my opinion, at least.
Okay, so we'll look around here.
Where the hell do I need to go?
That's a guild merchant, ooh
Ooh, donations
I like the sound of that.
Oh it's this guy... Dave!
Okay... let's go turn this on Lord's aide was concerned that the bait he was using for the wolf hunting contest wasn't effective enough. He decided to solve this problem by developing a new kind.
To get a keepsake for So'yuri, you must first gather the ingredients
for this little date from Windhill Shores.
I'm also like, I'm gonna give you guys
just my straight up opinion
I think the idea of
transforming into different animals to move around is fucking stupid.
I think it's fucking stupid.
That's my opinion.
I think it's ridiculous.
Birds are cool.
Yeah, but I don't want to be one.
It's made for furries?
You think it's made for furries?
You're probably right.
So true. What? you're probably right so true
i hit two targets at a time not really
okay Okay.
You saying that only because you're addicted to mounts?
No, I think that flying is also equally ridiculous. So you turn into a
bald eagle.
Sorry, I guess-I guess I just hate fun. That must be it. Yep, I hate fun. You hate freedom? I do. Now you like mounts? I do like mounts.
I think they're a better solution.
Oh, I guess this must be probably the first open dungeon or something like that maybe?
I don't know. Yeah, like to me
I basically decide whether
I like a game
based off of the way
the game plays.
And if a game plays very well then I will like it and if a game plays very well
then I will like it
and if the game doesn't play
very well
I won't like it
that's the only thing
really that matters to me
because like
if that
and like
it's not
it doesn't it's not like it's the only thing
that matters but, like,
that is the deciding factor
whether I'll keep playing it.
Like lore, graphics,
systems,
all of that is like way below gameplay to me. affected that luring in wolves okay what's over here I Do I go inside? Oh, I do.
I wonder what's in the hole.
Oh shit.
It's a cracker.
Oh, it's Crackle.
Excuse me.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be racist there.
I'm sorry guys. What? Nice.
That does a lot of damage.
Washed up chest. Okay, well let's get the other one too.
UK is burning right now? Why? Is it 70 degrees over there?
Okay...
Why?
Ok, ok. I need to go over there
You should keep playing games instead of bitching and moaning.
I disagree.
I completely disagree.
I think that my experience playing the game...
Wait, did I? I don't think I did what I needed to do.
Let me make sure that I'm doing everything right.
I didn't.
I wasn't paying attention.
A limp little doll...
Yeah, I understand people might be invested into the game so they don't want to hear anything bad about it. But um...
You know, I'm just giving my opinion. This is what I think.
I'm not saying this is the truth.
Uh, it's just-it's just the way i think crackles are often found in the
crackles as ferocious as they look and have a pungent smell it said that a hunter once won the
wolf hunting contest by secretly using crackle me to face
gotcha bitch get out of my life.
And constructive criticism?
Um... I mean, like
I don't really-I don't know if I can
give constructive criticism.
Like my opinion is
that combat sucks.
I think the movement and the combat feels weird and it's kind of sucky
that's really what it is but that's just, it's my opinion.
It's unfortunate? Yeah!
Going back and forth, spanning F isn fun press v v why did i do that
what's up so now i turn okay Okay.
Why did I do that?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Bad gameplay bad lore but at least it looks nice?
Yeah, it sure does the game looks great
The game looks amazing.
But yeah, there's just some things about it I really can't get into.
It's like...
Wanna turn into a fox and run around with the dog. Like, what the fuck?
No enemy aggro?
Yeah, there's a lot of games that are like that.
I'd rather cut off my tiny penis?
Why did I read that?
Oh god, why would I read that?
I don't know. I don't know why it would be something like that
you can play with a controller that's i mean okay
that doesn't really affect anything any of my like this mean anything to me
you know nation's Clunky.
That's why it feels weird. You can tell this used to be an autoplay game.
Yeah. It's an MMO for furries?
No.
That's called World of Warcraft.
I know what you're thinking of, but no, that's not it.
Okay. but no, that's not it. Okay, now what?
I gotta talk to this cocksupper over here.
A praying mantis in black how planes he also is the head
of the wolf hunters association so you'll need to talk to him to acquire
a keepsake oh this is the wolf.
Okay... and now I need
to go up there. Alright, let's go!
... Let's go. Alrighty...
Which server is this?
Um, I don't remember.
I think it's one of the West servers.
I forgot which server I was even playing.
Yeah. server I was even playing. Yeah, I have no idea.
World 30?
I guess so.
Yeah, West 30.
Is it somewhere around there?
Yeah, damn.
You guys all remember that.
I totally forgot.
Oh my god. I totally forgot. Okay, click to claim
rewards. Alright well what happens if I click this? Ooh
select one.
The Royal Guardian's Greatsword.
I'm gonna go with that.
Claim reward? Okay good good i got that
all right and so do i equip this
oh shit Oh shit.
Nice! Alright, now what? Where do I go? go and go that way let's go
use teleport well i want to just explore i feel like going around
in the world is probably the best content in the game so far.
Like, the quests are...
The story's stupid.
At least I get to do this!
This is cool
Fox simulator, yeah
Okay, let's pick this up here. We got another waypoint.
Ooh!
This vast plain was once a cherished village landmark
before the packs of giant wolves
appeared now even seasoned hunters avoid it
those who trespass into the realm of savage beasts must prepare to face death
okay
ooh what up Mr. Dog here? This dog just got fucked up!
Ooh, is that a big dog?
Yeah, no. That's one of our dogs.
That dog's on our side. Generic looking zones uh yeah there's nothing that's like super unique about them
you're right about that chris what's up, Chris?
Yeah.
Kill wolves and get their fangs all right let's do it.
Get the fuck out of here, bitch.
Alright that's one fang right there.
Why can't I charge? There it is.
Yeah...
This combat sucks.
It sucks.
Sorry guys, it sucks.
I'm just being real. Watch the charge. It locks you in place before it does it.
So, it has to stop your character's forward momentum
In order for you to charge
It's like garbage.
Animal Combat is still bad?
No.
No!
It's not, that's not the truth.
Oh Sometimes it is, though. Oh! though for the wolf hunting keepsake is a broken thing from another corrosion oh
ah there's i'll be upping on our rros
that's terrible? Yeah.
Black Howl Wolf
Yeah, I feel like...
Combat Soldier's Iron Helmet.
Wait, where would the helmet be?
Ooh! Look at my helmet.
Oh shit!
Alright, looking good now.
Let me go back over this one raise a beacon let's go do that jumping and charging
in Wow felt awesome it did it doesn't feel awesome in this game
That one was kind of okay
Be completely fair
Okay okay uh Let's go. Use Q again when perfect?
Okay.
I got too many people trying to attack what I'm attacking.
I've gotari on.
It's a blue, uh, a blue item.
I guess the probably the thing to light up is on the top right?
It's gotta be right?
Why is there a wolf up here
cannot interact Ooh.
Okay, now what? Oh yeah it's going down here.
Wow! And a good way of explaining how, uh, why I get tedious is that every enemy just feels like a different health bar instead of a different enemy.
Uh yeah, I think that's true. bar instead of a different enemy?
Uh, yeah.
I think that's true. Come on, dude.
Dude!
Okay, we're good?
Oh! black howl planes another item required for the wolf hunting keepsake is one of the antlers laid atop the tomb of Hamel, Iskall's archenemy.
The Antlers are the deer who sought their final rest there gleam and glow brightly with hamel's mysterious powers
okay Okay.
Interesting Oopa-ville idea? Did he make a video about me? That's what people were saying.
What's it about?
Is it a boss?
Let's go this way.
Yeah, what is it about?
My story? Uh-oh. Yeah, what is it about?
My story?
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh!
Is this the same approach?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see here... The Asmongold Iceberg
Uh oh
It's a horror genre? Yeah, exactly.
Okay... I said you were a legend?
Are you gonna watch it? Probably yeah.
Yeah. You gonna watch it probably yeah, yeah
Very very likely let's see here Oh what's this?
Got him.
Okay.
Hmm hmm Why a beta for a game that's already out?
It's a beta to test the localization and how Western audiences
respond to the game.
Obviously, AGS also released Lost Ark,
which was another Korean game
to a Western audience
and I think that they're trying
to avoid some of the mistakes
that were made in AGS,
or sorry,
in Lost Ark.
And yeah,
that's basically the reason why you can watch Trump's speech soon?
I don't know. It depends on when it happens.
Like, if you take Lost Ark Animation as a frame of reference
this is not even close.
Yeah.
So... reference this is not even close yeah so
let me turn this in first wait where am I supposed to go?
I confused myself. It's in here right?
Where the hell is he?
Hmm.
Doesn't have a thing over the guy's head, so I'm confused.
Oh, maybe it's up there.
Town looks alive? Yeah.
And that's the thing, it's like I'm... Oh, it's Tom. I have to talk to him. It just went away
whenever I got close.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll give some opinions of what I think about the game.
So... of what I think about the game.
Okay, so here are some thoughts about the game that I have right now.
I think there are some things about this game that I think are great like for example
the fact that there's a lot of players in the same area, and the game is experiencing
basically zero lag.
I think that's a huge positive that a lot
of people might not really be taking as seriously,
but I'm very
positive about that. I think that looks great.
Other than that,
I also think that the combat is...
I view the combat in an MMO
as the window
in which you experience the game. And I can't speak
for the endgame combat, and I'm sure that
in some cases the combat will probably
improve, but from
a 1 to 10 level
experience, I would rate this combat
a 3 out of 10. If not,
a 2. I think that
it reminds me
a lot of like... Remember how
Final Fantasy 14?
The combat in that game I think kind of sucks too
but compared to how bad it was
in 1.0, it's really good
I think this is the same situation
a lot of this combat seems like it was retooled
from an autoplay game and made into an action game,
and I think that DNA really shows up
whenever you look at the combat and the lack of fluidity between
abilities, and how ability casts cause you to like stay in place or stop moving.
All those little things about the game
I think are really important to me
and it makes the combat feel bad.
Also,
I think the game does
the same thing that a lot of other games do
Is it does
Let me move away from this because it's just fucking annoying
Um
Anyway
It does the same thing that a lot of other games do and I think
Lost Ark did this which was a problem
is that it front loads
you with like 15 different abilities
all at the same time
and I think what that does is it leads to player
like
it's like your
sensory overload, right?
Like you're being given
15 spells at the same time. so it's like an overload.
So in Classic WoW
you start with no spells and then you get
one spell and then you get two spells
and you gradually build up
and as you build up, you learn to appreciate
and understand how each different
skill works.
I really prefer that.
I think that's a much better way of playing
the game. I think Final Fantasy XIV does a pretty good job at that, too.
And New World does, but New World...
You know, it's like, yeah, you start
off with three skills and
that's it!
But overall, that's the way I see it.
And really?
Did you try out the WoW tutorial island lately?
Well, I don't know.
I'm not comparing...
Like, if you want to talk about retail WoW,
I don't care about retail WoW. I'm talking about classic
WoW, like the actual good game
and so
that's what my opinion about it is
The only thing I don't
like about this keeps kicking me saying I wasn't moving and killing bugs.
So...
Cannon to the deer was great to see how combat works.
How much did they pay you? I dunno but if um...
If they did pay me me I'll certainly be getting a
refund
I mean, I think this... I would not really
recommend this game so far
I'm going to play it probably more myself i want to experience and like look through
the game more and try to play it a little bit myself off stream process some of the
systems see how i enjoy it etc you know give it a couple of days i really tried to do that
but right now this game looks incredible
i love the visuals although i think that they lack a degree of style.
I think the visuals in general look very nice.
The fact that the game is able to process
a lot of other players in the area at the same time
is really cool, especially with how many games struggle with that
so there's a lot of things that are problematic
however um or sorry they're good however i think
that the most important thing to me is the combat and
the gameplay and little things like for example like not being able to climb onto things and
i also i'm just gonna be. I think this is fucking stupid that
everybody turns into a dog randomly.
Why would I even turn into a dog? That's never
even like explained. It's just like, yeah
by the way, just turn into a dog.
I just think it's ridiculous.
And it's just stupid.
Like, I do.
I think it's stupid.
And you turn into
a wolf.
It's weird.
Yeah, it takes me
out of the immersion of
you have a European medieval
fantasy game and everybody's
fucking shape-shifting
into furry little purple
foxes. It's stupid, and I get
that this is the mechanic of the game and everything
but I'm saying that I think the mechanic is fucking
dumb. I think it's ridiculous
and I go and I compare
this to Lost Ark, and Lost Ark's combat is just like
infinitely fucking better than this.
It's not even remotely close.
So...
Devoltings a big ass for an MMO?
Oh really?
Then why is it not a problem
For BDO and New World?
Oh, that's right
Because it's not a big ask
You know
I know
Maybe spend less time Making, you know i know that it's maybe maybe spend less time making uh you
know like transformations and just make the game feel well all-star is
isometric though doesn't matter combat still better
so and also like i would say the New World
combat is better than this.
I do. I think the New World, especially
the early game New World combat is
super superior to this.
Way better.
So... super superior to this. Way better. So,
combat goes crazy? You can really
parry attacks in an MMO?
Yeah, that's cool.
I like the parrying mechanic. I think that's cool i like the parry mechanic i think that's cool i like
that that's not the entire game though
so
are you sponsored to play this game? No.
The game has Helpy, which is annoying, icons everywhere and
Furry transform. Yeah I do
think that it's a bit of a ui overload
i agree with you there i think new world did a better job at that
so again uh i don't really want to ship on the game and here's the truth right
is that this is a free game.
If you want to try this game out
You can download the beta
And play it for yourself
So who gives a fuck what my opinion is
If you play this game and you think to yourself, You know what? This actually looks
pretty good. I like the way this plays.
Asmund's wrong. Good for you, man.
There. Now you've got a game to play.
But for me, I compare
this action combat to basically every other game that i played and i think it's a down
grade i do and combat is what i'm going to be spending the majority of my time doing in this
game it's how i'm going to feel fulfillment of playing the game and especially after i just
got done playing the first descendant which has incredible combat great fluidity and amazing
freedom of motion to go and play this, it just doesn't feel good.
And it's the same with even Once Human.
Level 10? Absolutely!
Like no- and I don't want
anybody to think that like this is an all encompassing
review but what this review is coming from is like this is an all-encompassing review but what this review is coming from is like this
is my first impressions of the game. This is not a review of the game, it's my first impressions
how did I feel for the first hour to two hours that I played the game. That's the way
that I felt. So,
that's the way I see it.
First three hours are
dog shit? Well then that's a huge problem and I
think that my feedback is extremely relevant
because if you have
the first three hours
be dog shit,
people are going to quit
the game and think
that the rest of the game
is going to be
the same thing.
So,
white man So, white men can't grasp simple Korean concepts?
The white man just can't figure it out
Is that a way it is I
Don't know man. I I wish you were right, man
I do I wish you were right because I wish it was that simple uh check player count uh what's this about
the player account here let me read it real quick um i still think everybody enjoys it
they drop by 30 activity let me see so I'll be curious to see how it retains a player base.
The game is very good at endgame?
No, you can't... Game cannot be like that.
If a game
is not good on
level 5 or
level 3, then it's a bad
game.
I don't want to hear about, oh but it's actually
going to be good!
No.
If it's not good on day one at the
first moment of playing the game it's bad
bad game bad game immediately you people
immediately judge a book by its cover
don't expect somebody to eat through a
pile of shit just to get to the chocolate. Just give them the chocolate,
get the shit off the plate.
So Final Fantasy XIV? Well this thing okay so final fantasy 14 the early game experience
is below average however the story is at least interesting
this is neither.
How's combat compared to BDO? I think, I don't know...
...I don't really like BDO's combat as much as I used to.
Overall, I think BDO is better than
this though.
Like, I think BDO is not
as great as people think it is for combat and i feel like action games
have evolved a lot past that however i think that this is still below it Even in Korea, it isn't doing very good?
Yeah.
It just makes me want to play the new POE League more?
Dude, that was crazy, wasn't it? Like, I
can't even believe it. Do you think they're
cutting corners by selling you movement speed mount
as just straight-up monster models?
I don't really know. I mean, I think that
really depends. But to be honest, I think that really depends but to be honest
the people who look so dope
yeah dude we're going to go so hard on that
I'm so excited
I don't know man
you just like Gildor's I don't know, man.
You just like Guild Wars 2 but that's still a player base it's getting more expansions so could be
just be you're not for this game?
You're right
and I think that's a really good point, is
that my opinion of the game... and this is like- now
I'm nitpicking. Why the fuck do I need 3000
health at level 10?
Why not just give the player like...
Like why? The number of, like
Why does every game start like
It's like you start at level 40 in every one of these MMOs.
Yeah, it's so weird.
Inflation? Yeah, I know. inflation yeah i know the bigger number equals better? Yeah, I know.
People like big numbers? No they don't.
People appreciate big numbers if there are small numbers to keep them in context.
And also,
I like big numbers
and Lost Ark because bro,
if you hit a 50 million back whenever I was playing,
it's like boom right there.
It's like yes!
It's really big yellow letters, right?
And it feels good.
The numbers look good.
But in this game
it's not popping off like
Lost Ark is.
50 million? Yeah, 50 million yeah
50 million
is like an auto attack
now
so yeah
ending 50 million does not feel good. It feels retarded.
Yeah, but like no it doesn't
in Lost Ark because
you started off hitting for
like 70 or like 15
and you get all the way up to 50 million.
It's like you fight through
all this stuff, there's a lot of progress in the game
then if you go
through the whole game it feels like you got to that
point right? You earned that.
If you actually play through the whole game and the story if
you want to but with this it's like you're
not really the same thing.
But I see what you're saying. I mean, you're not totally wrong.
Do you think you're enjoying the game as much
because you ignored all those tutorials?
What part of the tutorial has to do with me...
Like what tutorial would I have to read
in order for me to like the way that the mount system works?
Why would...
Like, what tutorial did I ignore?
Like, there's not a mechanic in the game that i don't understand
what I'm saying is bad. I'm just saying, I think the combat doesn't feel good
this guy has been dead for ages. He's using ambition at 1.3 million now?
That's pretty insane
Yeah, no doubt
I don't think any MMO combat could compete with games like Souls
FPS or Doom Eternal
I don't think that it has to compete
With that
But I think it should at least try to.
And Wow can? Yeah, like Classic Wow has better combat than this game.
So I think...
Oh yeah, it does?
Yeah, exactly.
Kind of feels like shit and has a.5 second delay? Yeah, it does.
Like
just another generic game released
for two months of Copium. Well here's the thing
when this game actually releases I will play through it and I'll probably get to max level
and do all of the content because like it's just a game and I want to play...
Like MMOs open world Mmo games with like everybody around you like this is um
this is a really cool thing like i love games like that but
it's just just like it's in the sun zeros end game well yeah i played it a
little bit last night
you should email stuff right now looks good but yeah it's just like
i don't know
i don't know.
It's just...
That's about it.
Is there any pay-to-win elements in the game?
I want to do a dungeon.
Yeah, no, I want to try
it. I don't know if I'm gonna play it on stream tomorrow again
I feel like I probably not cause I'd just rather do something else
But um...
I think I'm gonna play it offstream in the next maybe two or three days
And maybe not even tonight, maybe two or three days and maybe not even tonight maybe tomorrow or something and
you feel that the game is group pvp yeah but like I don't really...
I don't really care a lot about that because I know like group PvP in games like this are gonna be dominated by people who just sweat it out and only play group PvP.
And so its like...
I don't know if i could get appealed or interested by that
Just think about swarm on Saturday, yeah, maybe I play swarm tomorrow. I don't know maybe the day after.
Battle Pass Premium Upgrade has upgrade tokens so you get more upgrade tokens by buying a premium
Battle Pass? Yeah, it sounds pretty pay-to-win to me.
So yeah.
Nothing beats the feeling of old WoW, I know man.
Know exactly how you felt? Played like 3 hours of
the game and it looked moving around as Clunky and felt delay. The F key interactions
felt bad. I just felt the game...
I just felt like
a game to play because it's new. Yeah.
That's really the way I feel about
it.
Yeah. Um... that's really the way i feel about it yeah um
yep that's the way i think about it that's the way i feel about it
overall i would say this game if i had to rate my experiences i really hate doing this but i'm gonna do it just because it's like okay well i've got to at least
say something if i were to rate my experience of like
what the game was i would say it was a four yeah somebody
in chat yeah four
maybe a five ah maybe a five. Ah, maybe a five. Maybe... Yeah, four or five.
Four or five is somewhere around there, right?
That's it. Another
dead MMORPG. We'll see what happens.
Last of all, this We'll see what happens. That's cool, it says I'm not letting people outside understand what is going on in the screen
Yeah, it's like a lot of these games there's just so much stuff on the screen.
It's just overwhelming.
I thought I'd try the game after watching InstaPath for me?
Well hey! Don't let my experience...
Don't let my experience um... Don't let my experience make you
not want to try the game out. It's a free
game and you can do whatever you want.
Would you rate this higher than Xenless Zone
Zero? No. I think X Zenless Zone Zero? No.
I think Zenless Zone Zero, for what it is...
Is a better game.
For what it is.
For what it is.
Overall, this game is something I would prefer over Zenless Zone Zero
but I think that for
the content in Zenless Zone Zero
it's higher quality and
it's better than this.
Y'all are a level 10 and quick to judge a game?
Absolutely, 100%.
Because if they can't make a level 10 experience
good what the fuck is gonna make you think
that they could figure out an endgame?
What's the logic here?
So like, oh yeah,
they're gonna really figure out how to
make the game good.
Like, what do you mean?
If you can't figure out level 1-10, there's no way you're gonna be able to figure out an end game. Think about that!
It has no right to be this bad... I don't think it's...
...I don't know.
That's just what I think about it.
Yeah, form shift to Biden.
I can't.
Anyway, yeah I'm going to go and probably
I didn't notice
I've been on for eight and a half hours
I've been off for a bit today
I feel like I've only been on for like four hours.
Uh starting early has really been good for me
uh it really has been
uh I've been able to stream
and wake up and hopefully I just keep doing that.
So yeah, that's the plan. It'll play off-stream?
It will. And I'm gonna play it off-stream
and make a decision there.
So yeah, that's about it guys.
And anyway guys, thank you all very much for watching i really appreciate
it i'm gonna be back on tomorrow probably earlier in the morning and we're going to
just keep going right that's it just keep keep playing, doing what we need to do.
Yeah.
Hulk Hogan is speaking next at RNC.
Well, I mean, I'm sure I'll probably cover
some of that stuff tomorrow, right? If you guys want to watch it, I'm sure I'll probably cover some of that stuff tomorrow. Right?
I'm sure you guys want to watch it.
I'm sure Hassan will be watching it.
So yeah.
And I'll be back tomorrow and I'll look at all that stuff then too.
Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Anyway guys, thank you all very much for watching.
I really appreciate it.
Again, my opinions
of the game were
less than favorable.
However, you should try it out yourself.
It's a free game and so if you disagree
that's totally fine.
That's just what I think.
Anyway guys, I'll be back on tomorrow.
I'll see you then.
Peace!
