We fight for your freedom to feel your emotions without having to have your manliness challenged, right? We fight for your freedom to express how you feel like you want to express yourself. Coming from the existentialist thought, ano ba yung purpose ng babay? Kaya yung mga tanong sa pageant, di ba?  I've been revisiting books of Simone de Bevo. I'm not really that into her, in terms of philosophical thoughts niya. But I'm with yung partner niya, si John Paul Sart, more on the existentialism. She's a no-sart's-partner pala. Do nag-evolve yung thoughts niya about sa feminism. Nung binabasa ko kasi yung mga accounts ng feminism. It's about how women can surpass men kung magamay mga iba't ibang classifications ng feminism. And a lot of it is about kung pa paano magiging pantay yung man and woman. Dun sa thoughts ni Simone de Bevo, rooting from existentialism. Because the opposite of existentialism is essentialism. For the longest time, we believe that humans have essence. So for example, itong baso. Ang essence ng baso is para saluhin yung tubig na to. Pagbutas to, or kapag hindi siya mukhang baso, technically. Or if it can't hold the water. Hindi siya baso. So yun yung essence ng baso. But different case sa human beings. Philosophers and theologians, they have this kind of belief na meron tayong essence as a human being. So for Christians and other religious people, the essence of a human being is to serve God. But some people don't agree with that. Dito na papasok si Sart. Well, rooting back kasi siya from the thoughts of Soren Kierkegaard, his Danish philosopher and a theologian. I love theologians, by the way. Ha, talaga. Yeah, I love how they study that. But esig ay gone. Ah, ah, ah. Si Soren Kierkegaard, he's considered as the father of existentialism. Okay. Napakawir, di ba? He's one of those philosophers na kahit na Christian siya, he believed yung existence natin precedes essence. Well, that quote is from Sart. Sa kanyong nanggaling yung thought na, we don't necessarily have that kind of purpose. We make our own purpose in life. Despite being a Christian, that's what he said. Yeah, so medyo nabas siya ng mga Danish priest before. Right, right. Talagang minamak siya ganon. And remember, that's what I said to you also before, another one of our conversations. Sa parang, I have a lot of respect, not necessarily more or better respect. But I have a lot of respect for religious or spiritual or faithful people who are able to question their faith and beliefs. It's not necessarily like a toxic thing, but like you're able to, or you're willing to look at the other side and open your mind and still decide that you know this is the belief for me. So it's pretty cool that he did that. Well, I don't know, to each his own, I guess, but it's there, I have respect for people. Like I'm talking about the recorded history, itong mga 1700s to 1800s, yan yung time ng ano na, papunta na ng age of reason kung tavagin, or age of enlightenment. So dun na nagaharol ng power yung scientific discoveries and nagaharol na nang parang slight revolution yung mga tao, before religious people yung nag-handel ng mga beliefs. Right, right. It was so rigid kasi before it. So that's when feminism was born? Meron ng earlier accounts ng 1700s tama. 16, actually. Going back to that kind of existentialist thought na inadap ni Simone, dun niya na isip na isulat yung the second sex na book. Yeah, you tell me about this. Papasimplihin ko nalang. Ang argument dun is the goal of feminism is not to be at par to men.  What she's saying is you have to compare apples to apples and comparing men to women is like comparing apples to oranges. Kinda. Malawak yun but it's one of the arguments. Basically that's one of the, okay. Yan yung isa sa mga gist.  Yeah, yeah. So dahil nga yun nga coming from the existentialist thought, ano ba yung purpose ng babae? Kaya yung mga tanong sa pageant, what is the essence of being a woman? So pageant na tatamaan yun sa existentialist thought. Ano abang sabi ng babae? Okay. That question now after this conversation has changed for me. Because I remember when I first heard it, I was like, what does this mean? I don't understand that. So ibig sabi nga yung nga nga kakaanak, hindi ka babae? Ganun ba yun? So yung yung kinakontra ni Simone de Bebo. Uh-uh. True, true. So parang, as a woman, you have the freedom to make your own path in life. You have to make your own essence. So rooting siya sa existentialist. And that's what I believe in kasi so since this is the feminism tayo today diba. And I remember kanina outside when you were talking about it, you were just like, so for this episode, do you want to do like the different kinds of feminism? Right? Is that what you were saying? Yung ba yun? And then I said, we can also talk about what is feminism for us, like personal. Kasi I guess if you're looking for like the root of things, that's where the root of the different kinds of feminism would come from. Kasi diba, if there are different kinds of feminism, then they would have come from what feminism means to whoever person that started that kind of feminism. Jumping off of Simone de Beauvoir. You're free to choose your own essence. That's what feminism is to me. Like there are some people who, like for example, men. Some men not all, okay. Some men would be like, well, you know, you're a feminist, right? Don't you want to be like strong independent and all these things, blah, blah, blah, like, open your own door or you want to get on the road, like drive yourself to work, blah, blah, blah, build your own roads. So like, it's not the point of feminism, at least for me. The point of feminism for me is that you're free to choose. I didn't even know that Simone de Beauvoir said that. I relate to that even more now. You're free to choose your own path. So if you want to be a stay-at-home mom, not work, you want to raise your kids, if you feel like that's your purpose to be a mother, go. If you feel like your purpose is to be like a CEO of a company without children, do that.  Don't you want to achieve things in life? Like, why are you making them feel bad about the things that makes them happy? So that's feminism to me is the ability to, the freedom, not the ability, we all have the ability to choose, but the freedom to follow that path that we've chosen without expectations from other people.  Let's say lang. I want to be able to live that without the pressure or expectation to have kids because I'm a woman. Or let's say I want to have a big family and I want to stay home and raise them by myself. These are like very polar examples. Very black and white, right? But let's just use that for the sake of this argument. So I want to be a wife, stay at home mom. I feel like that's my purpose. I don't want other women umandan to say na, is that all you want? Like the pressure to be more than that? Like what if that is my more? Yeah. Dabba? Minyan kasi sa loob din ang, I mean like, meron ng ano eh, meron ng polarizing differences from men and women. Ta sa loob pa mismo ng mga kababaihan, meron pa- May ganon. Ha, oh. Like it is normal. It is normal and even with men, deba that happens din. Oh speaking of that, like one of the things that I said also earlier is deba what feminism means to you and also I want that, I want to delve into what, or like how feminism helps everyone. It's not just for women. It was probably called feminism because that's how it started. Yeah, oh. You know what I mean? Like it is for the betterment of women. Yeah, yeah. But like things evolve. Things don't stay the same way. When did feminism start? If I have to be accurate, mula kasi yung notes ko, but I'm trying to say. Good. Like, sigo mga ano, late 1600s to 1700s, bagang ganon. Matagal na yan. Earlier hounds, so. Matagal na yan deba. 1600s man, that's been a long time. We can't expect feminism to remain the same what it is, what its essence is, right? Before, the essence of feminism was to raise women up because we were really second-class citizens. Yeah. Daba na parang you're not even allowed to own anything. I watched Little Women last night. Have you seen that thing? Ah, you should. It's nice. There's an old one before and then with Winona Ryder they did a remake. Anyway. So there's a part there where Florence Pugh's character talks about what it's like being a woman and in the context of marriage. Like marriage is an economic proposition for the woman because you can't own anything. If you earn money, that's not even your money. That's your husband's money. If you have children, it's not your children. They're your husband's children. Paranganon. So the purpose and the use of feminism back then when it was born was to help raise women up from that to show the world that yo, we're human. We should have the same rights as other humans, as other men humans. And now that we've understood that, things are different now. Women are allowed to own, to vote and all these things, right? So we can't keep that essence in the same way na we need to raise women are still oppressed, yes? But it's evolved to include other things already. It's not just that. For the longest time din kasi kaya naging patriarchy rin yung not that it's theologians and philosophers fault pero they based din kasi sa biological differences before ng mga tao. Mga account din doon yung strengths ng differences ng strengths ng babaayot lalaki and dadagdagan pa natin like Abrahamic religions. Christianity, Islam. Ma strepsil sa kong gusto mo. Kong gusto ko. It's my favorite flavor. I don't want to sound like I'm blaming na sabi ko lang yung historical background and I'm glad that's evolving. Except for pre-colonial Philippines actually, patriarchal tayo. Kasama din kasi doon yung figurative representation of Adam and Eve na doon yung notion na dapat ang men ang magpaprotekta sa women. Which is good. Kahit naman kahit naman in-entertain ko yung thought ng feminism. May ganun na hong thinking. That's okay. Yeah. To want to protect someone you love is normal and it's I don't feel like it's because of like man or woman. Like I want to protect my boyfriend. Yeah. Diba? And I won't hold it against him if he feels like he wants to protect me. Isagin yung bakit sinulot ni Simone de Beau yung the second sex kasi philosophy graduate din siya sa France. Nakita niya yung accounts ng mga philosophers na pagang laging male centric. Laging in-account as man. Every man is gento. Ganyan. Bakit tulang woman? I know I think we can't blame our society for falling into gender roles because it's something that we are used to. I'm not saying it's something to be condoned. I'm also I'm not saying that parang okay lang yan gayin talaga yan. I'm just saying that as a factually this is just something that we're used to. That's why we have gender roles because we got used to women doing this and men doing that. And according to Jordan Peterson which you were surprised that I listened to and we'll get into that in just a bit because it's perfect anusa feminism atopic natin today. Menjo nene as people would think. According to Jordan Peterson the reason why men there are more men in let's say engineering and more women in nursing is because of how differently our brains are wired. That why did you hit your wife? Wait lang. Bako kayo maggalit. No, bash ka. Da lang lang. This is just what I'm not saying that this is fact. I'm just saying that this is what he said and it was an interesting side note. This is why I'm saying this because I like listening to other people. Ya, me too. Daba. And I like listening to what they're saying. I'll be like okay why does he think this way? Doesn't automatically mean I'm gonna take it as fact. Let's say what Jordan Peterson said was fact. Let's say lang. Men are more preconceived. No, no, no. That's preconceived. It's not the word. It's more. Masari. Yes, ma. Nagaligo pala. For men and women, women are more likely to care about people and men are more likely to care about things. So this is not a generalization that men only care about things and women are the ones who care for people. It's just a more likely. It's a statistical statement. You know what I mean? Just so happens. We're not saying that this is what they're supposed to do and it's a general thing. You have to stick to it. When it comes to gender roles, we still stick to. I think it's just because of that. Like the reason why men are more likely to be engineers or that's why there are more men in engineering is because that's just what they're interested in. And women, although there are women who are like that, many intelligent, amazing, powerful women who do go into engineering and succeed and all these things. They belong there obviously. It just so happens that there are more women who want to care for people. They have that instinct to care for people. That's why more women are in nursing. So I'm not justifying. It's just me stating it factually. And I feel like that's what Jordan Peterson does also. I'm not saying like, oh my god, I'm such a fan but I listen to him. I listen to what he has to say. Without judging him. I don't actively go out and search Jordan Peterson, yun na ito ganyang.  It's not like that. Pero nakilala ko siya nung nagkakonsilan ng debate ni Slavoj Cizek. He's a Slovenian philosopher. I don't know who he is but okay, go. He's psychologist din kasi siya na. Si Jordan Peterson. Pwemot ay no. I know he's a professor. The bird. Professor and... Dr. Jordan, he's playing like that. Yeah. So I think yung basis kasi nung sinasabi niya about roles is rooting back to evolutionary psychology. Kaya siya may ganong stand is because rooting yun dun sa time na yung mga lalaki or yung mga hunters kami dao yung nasa field ng gahan for our food, sa family's food and yung mga babay naman dao yung mga... The ones who stayed to take care of. Yeah, to take care of. I, I... Parang, that's what I mean with Jordan Peterson when he says these things. He's not saying it because he wants to keep women in their place as a lot of people are are misconstruing his intentions. I feel ha. He's just saying it as like it's again, it's a statistical statement. He's just saying, well, these are the statistics. Did you know that ball pythons who are bred in captivity? For example, my snake, Percy. Ball pythons who are bred in captivity when they are scared, they curl up into a ball and hide their heads. And they also like to climb. So they're above ground. They, they are in a safe space, especially when it's raining. Especially, and they, they borrow as well. These, this is the nature of the snake, right? And they know this. This is what they do in the wild. But why does Percy still do that? He's never been in the wild because it's something, it's like an evolutionary sort of echo. This is something that all ball pythons have done for a long time. And it's something that is already in their brain. So when it comes to women having, or like they're, they're being more women in people jobs or healthcare jobs and things like that. And then they're being more men in jobs like, again, engineering or construction. It's not because that's where they belong. Like I said, it's just that's what we got. Used to. Yes. Doesn't mean we can't change. It doesn't mean women don't belong in engineering. Like I said, it doesn't mean men don't belong in nursing. It's just, that's just what we got used to. Yes. It's something that is in nete. For example, yun nga going back to dun sa evolutionary wireings ng male and female. Yeah. Fim, ba wal ba sabay nyo female? Dadyok lang. So pa yun, I don't, that's something that doesn't matter to me but. Yeah, yeah. I know. Minibirun na kita. I know. I'm just showing people na hindi it's okay for you to tell the word female. Yeah. So um. What about you? For males? For males? Walang nakataw lang. Ang naisip ko kalaga CR. Kasi male. Female. I'll, ako din. Anyway yun, yung um, hindi naman kasi siya like yun lang yung limitations ng girl. It's more like dun nage excel yung women based on biological. Yeah. Ah, evolutionary. And statistically, it's just, it doesn't mean men cannot do it. It's just, statistically, there happens to be more women who are in jobs where they need to care for people. That's it. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. I, I just have to correct myself no kasi parang pag sinabi kong dun sila nage excel. It's not that I'm limiting them to that kind of job. Gagamiti natin argument ng evolution. I, I need to jump this in before we lose a trip. Mabilis tayo mag-isip eh. Um, you're, when you said, you're not saying that that's the only thing that they're good at. Right? So side note, jumping off that, I have a friend who is a musician. Okay. And he was talking about like parang I need to forget the exact conversation, but he said, he needed to really become good or like get more gigs or he needs to concentrate on his music because it's the only thing he's good at. He said, because he's a musician. It's the only thing I'm good at eh. And he didn't say that as like a, you know, he's crapping on himself kind of thing. It's the only thing I'm good at. He just said it like matter of fact. He's like, what, it's the only thing I'm good at eh. Nahi, nahi. And I said, I'm probably joking yos na nating. Uh oh. And I said, no, no, no, no, no. Don't use that wording. It's not the only thing you're good at. It's what you're best at. Because you can do many things. You're good at many things. But music is what you're best at. That's it. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yun ninya yung evolution. Kasi yung mga women before, sila yung nangnature sa mga bata sa sanggol. Yes. So mas intuitive sila. So yun yung sinasabi nating their best at that. Kaya kong mapapansin mo, pag gunagay, pag umiak yung sanggol, ang unang nakakaalam ng needs ng sanggol is yung nani. Kaya ay dan yung tatay. It's more of an evolutionality. Correct. And I feel like a lot of people get, it's in our nature. They get offended when people say that, na parang it's in the woman's nature to know this and all these things. Because it's like, okay, what if there's a woman who's not innately mothering? So that's, does that mean it goes against the nature? It's not that. It's in the same sense that there are men who are not innately hunters. Ya, oh. Diba? Parang... Ako, tiga mo naman yung fisiko. I've been here most of the last time. I've been here most of the last time. Oh. But like... Bapak nagsantungan tayo, matalam mo pa ako. But like... Duto, ayon. But that's what I'm saying is like, going back to like feminism, right? I feel, to me, feminism is, it helps so many other... What do you call this? It is beneficial across the board. Okay. Is what I'm saying. Feminism, for me, is beneficial across the board because when women or females, because feminism are elevated to match the same opportunities and rights as men, then that means the same goes for men also in that sense. It becomes all equal. So my example earlier about how feminism helps men is it battles toxic masculinity, right? So when you think about it, feminists don't only just fight for women, we fight for you guys too. We fight for your freedom to feel your emotions without having to have your manliness challenged, right? We fight for your freedom to express how you feel like you want to express yourself in dress, in painting your nails, in dyeing your hair, in getting a piercing. That's under feminism also, right? And even, and I'm going to put a trigger warning here for people who, I'm going to talk about something very sensitive, feminism also covers the defense of men who are sexually taken advantage of, who have become victims of number one domestic abuse. There are so many men out there who are victims of not just domestic abuse, but sexual abuse at the hands of women and men also. And not to mention the children, the boys and the girls, when female students are taken advantage of by their male professors, right? People freak out that man should be sent to jail and not this, but when young male students are taken advantage of by older female teachers, what is the response? You have men in the comment section going, wow, she's hot, lucky guy, wish thou were me. And this kid is probably traumatized, right? What's wrong with me? This kid's probably traumatized. And seeing this kind of reaction to that kind of news, it makes it will tend to make men afraid to speak up about their own abuse because the response to that is always man up, suck it up, be a man. She's a gorgeous woman. Any man would love to be in your position, blah, blah, blah. It's very dismissive. Feminism fights for the importance of male trauma also. But you know what I love about that also is you are not afraid to ask. You ask me stuff all the time. That's what I feel like something that maybe needs to be adjusted because we are so trigger happy when it comes to our righteous anger. Of course, we've been oppressed for such a long time. It's solely understandable. But I just, personally, I feel like people who don't know any better would be more open to asking and learning if they weren't made to feel like they're stepping on eggshells all the time. Whoever's watching, comment, comment lang jan. Yes. If you have any thoughts or whatever. About feminism. Hmm. Yeah.

All right, I Think we're alive. Hey, I don't know if everything's working Trying to get everything to work and you guys good Can you hear me? Hello, hello, hello Is anyone there? How's it going? I hope things are working. I honestly have no way to confirm Man, there's there's some people popping up now you guys can hear me right is the frame rate okay with the camera This is a different webcam So I hope I hope everything's working Obviously as you can tell I am not at the studio There's a lot that we could talk about that's happening over there right now Let's just say I'll be surprised that the studio is up by Friday But That's something here nor there Obviously, I couldn't stream the Pokemon presents. I tried really hard to get my setup going I got my dual monitors here of my laptop and I was having a hard time getting this camera to work This camera is actually going to be the new webcam that I'm using in the new studio It is a robotic webcam. We'll get into Later during the studio what I could do with that because we're not gonna show it off now because There are some issues. I have to sort out with it anyways, which I already knew I was gonna have to sort out but Whatever, how you guys doing? Are you guys excited that Pokemon presents was pretty crazy wasn't it? We're pretty crazy. I mean all some people are maybe upset the Pokemon legends isn't getting full DLC At least it doesn't appear that it is But it is getting a free content update which that's always good, but I mean does it really matter when you're getting gen 9? Gen 9 Scarlet and violet It's pretty rare that I want to talk about a traditional Pokemon game Because obviously my favorite Pokemon game of all time at this point is Pokemon legends I'm not a big fan of traditional Pokemon. You guys saw me torture myself with brilliant diamond and shining pearl and I'm obviously cautiously optimistic for for for scarlet and violet because Obviously on the surface. This is just surface level reaction it looks like a cross between traditional Pokemon and legends But we'll see Because if it ends up just being an open area like the wilds in sword and shield Then it's not really an advancement forward. It's just more of the sword and shield Kind of play so this is one of those things where I have to be cautiously optimistic because my hope has always been that the Pokemon games we're going to go full-on legends and Just go open world or almost open world and go nuts and I don't know that Scarlet and Violet are doing that obviously they're going back to the two game system Which I thought they were gonna do for gen 9 anyway gen 9 was in development before they even knew Legends Arceus was gonna be a success. So that's obviously something we have to consider as well So I don't know like I'm not really that into traditional Pokemon But it is kind of cool to see if they ended up crossing over everything I love about legends Into this game Can it make me fall in love with traditional Pokemon again? Can this be the advancement in traditional Pokemon games that I've been waiting for because sword and shield wasn't it? I mean the wilds was cool The DLC was actually better to me than the base game, but it still wasn't my cup of tea So I'll be very curious to see if it's going to become my cup of tea here I can safely say that I will be Trying out generation 9 for sure. I will be trying out Scarlet and Violet probably right here on live stream Give you guys my raw impressions. I can I can basically guarantee that's going to happen so What what's interesting is I called this Okay, I said you guys remember we had a number of podcasts and I had a number of podcast guests Tell me that I'm wrong that generation 9 was coming this year now I said maybe it wouldn't be gen 9 maybe we get like a let's go or some sort of spin-off But I was pretty adamant that generation 9 was dropping this year traditional Pokemon releases dictate this game freecast multiple teams I didn't believe everybody at game freak was just working on legends and I was right generation 9 is dropping this year We're getting Pokemon Violet and Scarlet or Scarlet and Violet I guess is the order they they unveiled them so It looks like it is taking cues from from legends It looks like it's taking cues from what worked in Sword and Shield But again, we'll have to wait and see we don't really know because I guess the biggest thing a lot of the Pokemon fanatics We're telling me that I had as podcast guests were there's no way they drop legends and then a mainline Pokemon in the same gear Get here we are it is scheduled to release in late 2022, which tells you November December Could be delayed of course, but I don't know it looked like it was pretty far along to me They definitely know what they're doing and the Pokemon company doesn't like to unveil things that are going to be delayed So yes, I have a high high hopes that this game is landing November or December I'm just saying December because they said late 2022 So hedging my bets that maybe they think they're gonna miss that holiday release in terms of black Friday But they're still gonna get it out before the end of the year So that's why I'm saying November or December, but I mean they look good We didn't obviously get to see a lot of gameplay was mostly just a look at the world You know seeing Pokemon in the wild seeing a bunch of different areas that obviously looked like they were open areas But we don't know for sure And obviously seeing what is at least one of the main villages if not the main village or maybe there's multiple villages schools I have no idea and we got obviously a look at the initial starter Pokemon So I do think that it's cool. Also like the the I like the trailer in general where they're like real life You know security guard walking through a gamefreaks section of Nintendo headquarters And I thought that was like a whole little a cool little bit So what are your guys's thoughts on this though because obviously I am not the biggest Pokemon guy You guys saw that I'm Pokemon really diamond shiny pearl don't like it hated it Literally deleted it off my system when I was done But Pokemon legends I love I It's my favorite Pokemon game of all time. I'm still playing it to this day. It is a brilliant experience to me. So Yeah, now I see a couple of notes in the comments here People talking about the graphics the graphics the graphics don't look good The graphics aren't great and some of us know the graphics aren't final. I Don't know if I said this about legends. I said it's well sword and shield said this while brilliant diamond shiny pearl I'm gonna say this now Pokemon has never been a series the mainline series. Anyways has never been a series known for its graphics People don't play Pokemon because it's pretty. That's just not that's not Pokemon shtick. Yes, I realize that you know scarlet and violet don't look Visually stunning like a breath of the wild does like, you know, like we know things the switch is capable of and This is not reaching for that Pokemon's never been that they're hard. By the way, there are beautiful looking Pokemon games visually We also know new Pokemon snap, right pocket tournament DX like there's been some great looking Pokemon games But those were all spin-offs. They weren't mainline for mainline Pokemon games to me. They've never looked great They've always been either pixelated blurry weird angles crappy looking visuals never really bothered me because that's not what Pokemon is Pokemon Well, you can argue because it's such a multi-billion dollar franchise and everything that they have all the money in the world to Invest in development and do this and make it a visually stunning game at least like Dragon Quest 11 levels, right? That's just not what Pokemon's ever been and they keep getting away with it because that's not why people play People don't play Pokemon to be wowed visually, right? That's just not the thing like when you first pop up in the sky area in Breath of Wild 2 and you look out You might get that wow moment where you're like, man, this looks gorgeous. I can't believe this is running on switch What is happening? Wow, you know that wow moment that we got when you ran out, you know in Breath of the Wild when you first get out of That little starting area and they do that little cutscene thing and you're like, whoa, this is actually as all the game. Holy shit You don't really get that with Pokemon But what you do get is amazing Gameplay if you're into it now again, I'm not inter-traditional Pokemon gameplay anymore was when I was a kid I'm not anymore So I'm kind of hoping there's a blend here of legends and the traditional to make me maybe That you know enjoy the traditional more but that's not the funeral there We don't know much about these games and we're not gonna know much for a while I don't expect them to reveal more So closer to summer and then we'll probably have a much greater idea. We'll see some real gameplay probably this summer We'll see, you know more aspects about how how it works What are the differences between this and prior games? Are they taking anything from legends Arceus? Are they not is this just an advancement of sword and shield and they're not taking anything legends Arceus Yeah, because they weren't sure if legends Arceus was going to be a hit Is this open world? Is it not open world? Is it just a one open area as the wilds but called something else? There's a lot of unknowns a lot of unknowns But I'm excited just to see what happens and it's rare that I get excited for Pokemon games And this one to pique my interest because just because of how they showed it probably gonna end up being super traditional I mean they're even going with the two game versions and since I'm not into super traditional I'm into Pokemon legends. I'm not so sure. I'm gonna like it, but That's why we got to wait. That's why we have to wait until it drops Nice comparison. Yeah, like during quest 11 looks great on switch looks fantastic. I'm not even like the pixel mode Just the normal game looks fantastic on switch. It's all like we all know switch is capable of more visually. It's just That's not why I don't I've never seen a Pokemon Like I don't know. Maybe this is just me over the last 26 years. I've never I've never viewed Pokemon as a franchise I'm going to to play for visual fidelity. It's always been for the gameplay It's always been for catching Pokemon. It's never been about. Oh my gosh, this game is a pretty like Pokemon's never set the standard It's never been a standard bearer for visuals. So I don't know. That's just me, you know And I used to be more critical of the visuals. By the way, I was critical for sword and shield visuals and then Over time I kind of realized that they're playing like Pokemon. Let's go and other games that you know It's not really about that The visuals don't really matter that much and that's weird to say for a video game, but I don't know man The visuals just don't matter to me in Pokemon I Do want to do wow Oh, I don't want to do wow on Pokemon graphics Just rewatch the trailer the textures look weird. I think the game is in way early development I don't think it's a way early development. And here's why I say that Steven strange They wouldn't have had so much to show in the trailer if it's in way early development Way early development. They can they have nothing to show Just so you're aware Super early development on a game. There's nothing to show There's nothing concrete. There's no completely put together areas. There's no completely put together You would have just saw like the Pokemon art of the starters and that wouldn't that would have been all you saw Oh scarlet violet and here's the art That's this is not way early development way early development doesn't have that that amount of stuff to show just so you're aware People said this by the way about legends Arceus Oh, look at look at how crappy the trees look or look at this texture and how bad it is This must be way early development and it's like no that that that's pretty much what the game is and Guess what it came out and by the time people played it. Nobody cared And I think that's what's gonna happen here because Pokemon's about gameplay Even Zelda isn't great visually since Jake Randall. What's up Jake Randall? How's it going man? Breath of the Wild came out after Horizon Zero Dawn I mean Horizon Zero Dawn destroys Breath of the Wild visually horizon forbidden West by the way destroys Elden Ring visually But Elden Ring by most people consider it to be a better gameplay experience So they consider it to be a better game Obviously, they're both really really great games Same thing with you know The original Horizon Zero Dawn versus Breath of the Wild both of them fundamentally really amazing games Most people considered the gameplay in Breath of the Wild to be superior to the visual fidelity Presented by Horizon so Zelda got rated higher So this is one of those conundrums where gameplay has always proven to be king visuals always secondary but fans act like visuals are The big deal and yet consistently Gameplay usually sells more Minecraft is one of the most visually abhorrent games of all time best-selling game ever Roblox not a great looking game one of the most played games today like visuals aren't really What sells games gameplay is Not that it's wrong to like visually pleasing games nothing wrong with that It's just the best-selling games are not the most visually pleasing grant of auto 5 not exactly a great-looking game even close to today's standards Yet, it's one of the best-selling games month over month because the gameplay is a lot of fun. It's all about that gameplay Yeah, of course people are playing Nintendo games on Steam Deck. Why does that surprise people? It's a PC guys. Oh My gosh our switch games being played on PC right now. Yeah, we've been emulating switch games for five years Of course it's being played on Steam Deck. Steam Deck is just a it's just a handheld PC everybody It's not like it's a good device with the best handheld PC to date It destroys all the other competition that I had Nios and and the rest out there Gotta stop calling it a switch competitor though. It's a handheld PC. It's not even the same market. So The story of a ride horizon was better than most Zelda and Rosen ring you mean elder ring The story for you the story is the key for me personally see I Have you finally played horizon zero dawn? I thought the story was fine I Still preferred Breath of the Wild story. I'll then ring I can't speak on yet. I haven't played it I plan to play it. I don't know if I'm gonna play it on my Xbox or if I'm just gonna get it for PC I heard the PC version is pretty rough but I would love to actually play it on my PC because I have this ultra wide 49 inch monitor that I think would Elden ring would just look amazing on if I can actually get it to run at a decent frame rate, which apparently Optimization of the PC versions crap So I keep waiting for like the patches to come out that maybe makes the PC version a lot better Because I don't want those hiccups and I realize, you know, I could just wait talking my PlayStation 5 played on there as well Or a series X or something, but I Don't know I really want to play it on my PC and enjoy that 49-inch ultra wide Like that's one one thing I like about that ultra wide monitor with PC gaming is like for a big open-world game Oh my gosh, it's so immersive, but they got they got a patch it So I preferred Breath of the Wild story and I'm a big Zelda guy big Zelda nerd but I liked the way they did the story in Breath of the Wild and I know it's not even a popular opinion a lot of People didn't like the way Breath of the Wild story was done with having to discover it for yourself Having to seek out cutscenes having to you know read books and and research into things within the world It was actually part of the exploration of the game was to discover the story, but You know everyone likes things they were like like horizons more like in your face traditional Lots of lots of chatter lots of cutscenes lots of linearity to how it goes nothing wrong with that by the way That's just that's just how that game handles it. That's all a lot of games handle it but Forbidden West I haven't played yet, so I can't comment on that I'm I'm purposely waiting till I get another you know a new PlayStation 5 in my hands to to play that which Tax return lands when it's supposed to it's already late, but if it lands in March PlayStation 5 for myself is on the top the buy list if the tax return lands, so What starter do you like best? Oh, man, let me look at the starters again. I was glancing at it I Don't know their names But I kind of like the bird where it looks like he's got like sort of a pseudo sailors hat on You know it I'm sure this is traditional. It looks like traditional grass fire water probably I assume the boot the bird is water But I like that. I think he's the most unique looking of the three Like I feel like the other two look like bog standard Pokemon and then you have this hey Hey, I'm a sailor. Oh, I really like I really like the style probably go with him Again, I don't know if they released the names of these Pokemon. Are these new Pokemon? I don't really know I don't know all the Pokemon, so I assume these are new I mean, it's a new generation, so I assume they're new but maybe my assumptions. Maybe my assumptions run the ducky Yeah, maybe my assumptions wrong. I mean, I have no idea if these are former Pokemon or new Pokemon You like the grass cat yeah, so I don't yeah, I was gonna say it doesn't sound like we have names for me Which we're not going to We're not gonna have names yet.     I'll take I'll take the little bird duck thing um They have names super marcia's Spragario Foucoco and quacks Lee dude quacks Lee come on if that's the actual names If that's the actual names quacks Lee quacks Lee it is baby hell. Yeah, it's probably the only one I can pronounce right Quacks Lee heck. Yeah. Hi. Hi Dude, I'll take quacks Lee any day Um You want the Donald Duck, that's right. I can't do the Donald Duck voice. I wish I could wish I could do the Donald Duck voice Man, I saw that pre-order Kirby in the forgotten land like popping off. Hey, it's a good game. Go pre-order Hey, if you use that pre-order link guys by the way, I get like 14% kickback or something like that. Um, I think through March Let me see. Uh, I will pre-order both games. I'll get the duck for my main gameplay Yeah, yeah Quacks Lee baby How do you think this affects breath of the wild two's release? It doesn't I'm not sure why people think Pokemon affects breath of the wild two's release. I Don't really understand it There are fundamentally different games that appeal to different crowds. So I'm not really sure why that matters It's almost like people realize Nintendo is packed most holidays There's been multiple big game releases like every holiday for the most part and If this ends up being a December game, because remember they said late 2022 They didn't even commit to holiday because usually when you say holiday, that means November They they said late 2022. It's possible that Gen 9 doesn't land till December and that gives November to breath of the wild or heck they could launch breath of the wild in December They can launch breath of the wild in October.  They can launch them both in November one at the beginning one in the middle or one at the beginning one at the end like It'll be all right. We are going to be good. I'm not too worried about it. I don't think they really affect each other You buy both versions and trade the trade the starters so you have more Yeah, I used to do that Jake when I was when I was younger I'd get both versions or like I would get one and Eric would get the other and the very first thing We do is trade starters. We talked about that with the legends Arceus. Oh, man. Should we get each other start? And who cares? I don't care about that stuff anymore, but some people do I love you prime. I love you too Mojo horizon See, I'm sorry, I don't have any crazy stream things I can do right now. This is literally streaming off my laptop, which Man, I can't wait to get back in the studio. Oh my god, it's been a nightmare and Like all the flooring that's been put down now might need to get torn up and it's just oh We were supposed to be back in our house on Friday Instead the flooring part didn't start till Friday and now it's Sunday And they might have to remove everything and now we might not get back in the house till Friday again. I I'm very frustrated Like I don't know you guys have no idea what's been going on behind the scenes. It's this has just been a problem It's been a problem $8,000 for flooring. It's just By the way, it's for the entire house. Not just the studio of course Let's see here Yeah, it's just stressful because my family's displaced like we're staying at Yulia's mom's house So like it's fine. We will place the stay. It's just My dog is depressed here Yulia my fiance is very depressed here She does not do well when we have to stay away from our house with our whole family for long periods Because it really messes up the school schedule it messes up our schedule. It messes up our sleep schedule We don't sleep very well here the beds they have here just aren't the same as our own bed And there's something about just messing up the normality of things She gets even stressed out about my work I like you know even doing YouTube stuff she gets stressed out because I can't do what I use, you know My content productions way down My back and my body's killing me from all of the manual labor Involved in the housework because now we have even more we have to do at the house than we planned So she's all you know feeling bad about that Obviously I can live stream a little bit now here and there so maybe maybe there'll be some more streams this week But they're not gonna be like super complicated It's gonna just be this me and a camera because I don't have anything set up in this laptop to do anything else Oh Doing voiceover gameplay isn't always the greatest you guys can hear in the audio like this microphone I'm using this is the the Elgato wave 3. There's nothing wrong with the mic, but I don't have a recording space That handles audio very well, so there's a lot of echo at times and So she's all frustrated. She's more frustrated than I am about that and Now the flooring it was mostly installed upstairs and then it turns out There was a mistake at the manufacturing so now the other boxes of flooring they have aren't exactly the same as the flooring So like they can't put it down because if they put it down, it's not gonna match.  So we still can't live in our house because the upstairs still isn't done And you know the lower on the basement where the studio is and so I can't set up the studio because I can't go in the studio because they Have the patches in the studio and they fix the cement and all it's just It's just frustrating We were we were only supposed to be displaced for three days And we've been now displaced for a week and a half and we might be displaced for another week And it's just is not how I wanted things to go this Pokemon presents I should have been back in the studio easy but You spend eight grand and you just hope that things Work out and it looks fine for for live streams. It's not a live streaming issue. It's um My space is just not good for video like like doing traditional video Recording just plain audio and put it. It's just I can tell when I'm editing that it's just not good At least I get to use some of the new headphones that are for the podcast see this This is one of our new headphones. It's a Sennheiser 505. I think or something or 550 Those are our podcast headphones to fix an audio issue. We had where Jake knows he's been on the episodes We had some echo and some other things going on a lot of that's because we weren't using headphones We weren't using headphones because the headphones we had hurt our heads So now we got nice ones that fit around our ears that we can wear for long periods of time that don't hurt So I've been using those to edit with because laptop speakers aren't the greatest edit with that You can't you can't fix issues with laptop speakers. You need you need higher quality You know sound and that to edit videos and I try my best to make the audio sound good But only so much you can do in the raw files. That's pretty bad So when you guys hear like you watch the videos and you're like, oh, it sounds fine. I'm like, yeah That's after I spent probably an hour and a half just Messing with the audio file to make it usable This usable to me is still not even this they don't and I also don't stress out about it though It's just it's a lie. It's everything right guys. It's not the YouTube stuff is what it is Okay, I'm not as stressed about it as my fiance is she's more stressed about it than me because she knows how much I passionately care about this and the money I already have invested in the studio There was over $6,000 spent on stuff that we're renovating the studio with And then $8,000 for flooring in the house. So over the last month and a half. We dropped $15,000 You know a huge chunk of that for the studio renovation that I can't even do Because we have to have the flooring in part of it is done a small part that we could do but most of it is not so Because that's going to take you know a few days to even do the studio renovations Let alone the flooring that and it's a couple about I'm not installing the flooring myself We it's a company that we tore out everything ourselves. That's how I hurt my back Because it was tearing some of the stuff out. I didn't realize how hard it was gonna be Especially on the steps. I didn't realize how hard it was gonna be but That's not here nor there. It's manual labor. It is what it is It's not you know people do more than that They they they haul concrete and throw bricks all day and roll construction and everything on it's not the end of The world but to do all that work and then still have to wait almost two weeks to get back in my house The kids are fine For anyone worried about my kids. They're fine. They never want to leave here. They love staying at grandma's house It's not about them There's a lot of mental health with me and my fiance trying to just get back to normal because we just feel like we're scrambling every day Like we thought we were gonna be able to move back in today that you and I would go over there get the furniture set Get it all fixed and move in today and now we can't because they might have to rip everything up. So it's like Every day, it's just something else every single day. They're just something else It's not this it's that it's just something new every day Okay, I check my phone to see if the installers I unlocked the I opened the garage for him this morning So they should be able to get into the house Yeah, they're at the house right now installing anyways That's not here or there Pokemon stuff today look good Obviously the big thing being that the new the new games when even my battery's running low hold up It's my computer not plugged in one second I don't want my computer to die. No Good I Must have bumped the cordon unplugged it Now my laptop battery especially while streaming or video editing man, you get like an hour not even It's plugged in man. It was with the shutdown. Whoo crisis averted computers plugged in Anyways, how's the frame rate? I know you guys see the camera. Did you guys see that when I moved? Oh, look at that. Oh Look at that The camera follows me now. Do you guys see that? So I said we got a robotic camera that follows me. I Got some content for streams. We're gonna be doing That's gonna be a lot of fun with that. This camera this camera is gonna be a blast for that although I'm gonna lock it right now But yeah, the camera moves pretty cool. I Guess I didn't really lock it very well.  It'll zoom in it'll zoom out. It'll it'll it'll it's great It was expensive but You thought someone was holding it, right, right, right and the beauty of that is there'll be times where On one of our sets that I'm gonna be moving Where I might go from one section to grab something to another section to grab something and I'll be talking that whole time and this camera which can do 4k I got a mess of the color accuracy the color accuracy is not perfect Or whatever there's a boat I can put it in that lets me correct the color and editing anyways So this isn't replacing my main shooter camera But for any time that I want a camera that follows me I can use this camera to record videos with and it's gonna be awesome. Okay I can't wait for the content. I'll be able to create where it looks like I have someone holding a camera But it's actually a robot robotic camera There are cell phone mounts that do that They're not Not as accurate let's put it that way not as accurate I When I when I invested in this camera I Did a lot of research and tested a lot of products including ones where I could just mount my cell phone And it just it was really slow on the turn and the snap like this one's not too bad So like this it follows me like this it follows me You know dip all quick and it's still fall like the phone ones like I would like walk Just normally like this and then I'd be completely off-frame and then it would go like And then slowly turn to catch It was kind of a pain in the butt This one actually does a pretty good job in real time keeping up especially when you're not like running Obviously, you can always outrun the camera, but but I mean it's a cheat It's a cheaper alternative to be like let me just take the phone I already have And then there's often see things like when I'm doing live streams and I want the camera to move around I still want to be able to use my phone. So, you know, it all works out This this was a more expensive option, but it's a it's a fun one I can't wait for the content in the live streams. I'll be able to do with a moving camera This also means I have multiple cameras and can do multiple angles as well But that's not the other here nor there I have a setup in the new studio Or there will be a setup that I'll be able to do a top-down shooting camera quite easily It's not connected to the ceiling But I can do it to show off products or anything else and I'll be able to do it on live stream even so it's gonna be It'll be cool. I'm not sure how many live streams probably don't start counting on me having top-down cameras for live streams That's not how my base setup is, but I will have a setup where I can do that if I'm gonna do it ahead of time Prime example if we're doing E3 and I want to show off a product like dude for a giveaway I can have a top-down shot of that product, but And I can do it with a wireless microphone, but I've had the wireless mics for a little while I just don't use them for a lot, but I will be using them for any video that I'm gonna be walking around Really every channel takes off because I know I can thanks. I you know when it comes to channel growth I just kind of That's whatever I Always say the channels are exactly the size they're meant to be and I think my channel is exactly the size It's meant to be I have the following that I'm meant to have right now if I'm meant to be bigger I'll get bigger if I'm not meant to be bigger. I won't get any bigger. It'll be all right And there is a microphone array on this camera that's supposedly good on this camera, but I'm not gonna use it When you think we'll start hearing news of their plans for next-gen switch from Nintendo themselves 2024 I was gonna say 2023, but I think it's 2024 I don't think they talk about next-gen till 2024. They're gonna they're gonna ride switch for the next two years for sure You an art project due tomorrow later, man Yeah, I'd rather have an art project do than the homework. I have to do I got a midterm for math Tomorrow for statistics.  Most people are doing all their schoolwork on laptops So it's not like I'm complaining. It's more of a man. I'm used to doing it a certain way And now I have to do it the more annoying way, but it's it's whatever Um You pirated minecraft story mode season 2 Nice I'm just doing this quick to see if this is working Because I'm not sure if my my stuff is working Yes, I can hear oh I don't think that one's gonna work. What do you think? Oh, yeah, I already answered that one the chip shortage Wait, that worked wait a second But my tax return land that card shouldn't have worked Okay, oh Yeah, there we go No, the the word I was just making sure that that worked because I set this up this morning The floor people are there they're gonna run to try to get more flooring and leave my brother here for the day If you have any questions or anything, he will be there. Otherwise call me. Thank you. Okay. All right So these are leaving one of the flooring people behind um, I think he's gonna work on the basement So I'm probably gonna have to go over there later to move furniture around. I Gotta think for a moment here Or he's working on the steps then all the steps got to get done And the steps are a completely different material for the steps, so maybe he's working on the steps All right, I gotta think for a moment think think think think think think think think think think oh, yeah I gotta check because that card that just super chatter from isn't supposed to have any money on it The fact that that $2 went through is like wait a second Now he's supposed to be money there. Is there money there? Let's find out No, oh That was a deposit from Amazon Affiliate stuff. Um, I hope that something we goes well for you and the renovation. I hope so too Paul. It dude It's been bad. We're supposed to be back in our house like four days ago. I Don't I already bitched about it enough.   No, because new factories open up next year. I Don't think there'll be any shortages. I mean it'll sell out at launch. Of course Most new products even we use sold out at launch But will there be like a traditional shortage like we've seen the last two years now? No Because all because they have new chip factories opening up next year. So Once we get to 2023 almost all of the chip shortage issue should go away Not like instantly but at some point in 2023 when the factories open up and I don't think Nintendo is really seeing new generation platforms on 2024 so Yeah, I'm glad you go tune in to Tyler rights. Sorry guys that I missed being able to library I just couldn't get the setup just wasn't working then it started and I'm like, you know what we're just gonna Try to fix stuff to at least stream after effect plus do we got gen 9 reveal today, which that that was awesome It's not just Sony There are two main chip manufacturers to Sony's actually not one of them believe it or not There are two main chip manufacturers that every company gets their chips through Both of them have well one of them has a massive new factory opening up in 2023 The other one doesn't open to 2025 but Either way, it's all about demand slowing down to like I don't know I Don't know it's crazy because the pandemic made people stay at home Which created demand and now as the pandemics basically starting to fade away in most of the world Or at least becoming a non-concern, I don't know it's kind of crazy what's going on right now And demand still isn't slowing down. So it's it's a man.  So we have to get brand new baseboard Almost all the doors got to get replaced and we had an electrical problem happened that we had to get an electrician out And it took him eight hours to solve the problem and in the end We have to replace every outlet in the house, which we were planning to do We have other things happening that I don't really want to get into right now, but It's just over and just more and more and more and more and that's before I get to the full studio renovation Which I think should be smooth We hope I might have to order certain cables and stuff still That's one thing we aren't sure of because we can't know until we can run the cables and we can't run the cables yet So the floor isn't also there are some concerns that I might need to get some more cables or longer cables that are more expensive Think fiber optic cables like fiber optic USB cables Which are crazy and stupidly expensive so there's a lot of a Lot of stuff that might still have to happen But again, we don't know but at least I'm I'm somewhat prepared for the reality that my cables I have right now won't work I can still run things with it just will be really sloppy and I don't want it to be sloppy so Huh, that's the way it was in the basement Everything got ripped out. Oh, we've already redone some of the walls But because we don't need the Florian to do that Sorry this this thing just turned this stream just took a turn for oh man. He's just bitchin. I know I'm sorry, okay It's been a stressful time. Let's talk about some video games Dude, you don't even want to know like some of those fiber optic cables that that I looked at are gonna be like $300 for how long we need them and that's why we need fiber optic ones because of how long the run is and we Don't want to lose signal integrity because that affects the equipment.  I try to have me make them fun entertaining and Unique and different and make them things that I want to watch, you know This kind of stream here is not the kind of streams. I enjoy so Yeah, I don't know if I need them yet JP. I Don't know if I need them yet. It's because of how long my cable run is. I don't know if I need them yet We think we're going to though plugging multiple cable extenders into each other is a massive signal loss and that's The idea we have right now And we don't think it's gonna work We think there's gonna be issues Meaning that we have to go a fiber optic to make the runs we need to run Which again, it's fine Then those cables will be good forever as long as you know the way that we're man Like we're we're cable energy and like as an example If you guys go back and look at that vlog you don't see the full extent of it You see it you see some cable mess, but you don't what you don't see is the rug lifted up and the god Dozen or so cables I had running across the floor We're not running them across the floor like that anymore one Obviously a trip on them to my kids three my dog for just office chairs running over them Like it's it's just not good Constantly things were getting loose and unplugged so Eric came up with a with a really brilliant idea and it's it's the way We should be doing it so how Let's see if I can visualize this for you guys. I don't have a piece of paper to draw it on But let's say Let's see here Let's use my phone because the roof my room is more shaped like this my room is is rectangular so Let's let's let's say that this is the the room right so you walk in Where's the entrance gonna be? Let's say you walk in through here. So so have this be the entrance Okay, so you walk in through here Obviously, we're not putting much behind the entrance because the door swings open towards the wall So there's not really gonna be much in that section But then my main desk is gonna be here right dead dead middle against the wall over here, right? So that's where my big desk is gonna be that's where the main rig is gonna be that's where the the Computers gonna be And everything so like when I'm working and editing they'll be right here in the middle of the room at the wall and then From here we have a we have a set over here against this wall in this section and a set over here Against this wall in this section also directly behind me about say right here is a pull-down green screen That's just that's just massive So I can put the green screen behind me for certain live streams game streams And I can go on to the other side of the green screen and shoot video Against it with the main camera the main camera is gonna be sitting right about here Okay, this camera is gonna be able to turn to shoot at this set turn and shoot at this set or turn and shoot The green screen I also bought a second set of lights So now it's not just one light which messed up my lighting So now I have lights that I can I can have that are basically be on either side of the camera Pointed this way towards this set or this way towards this set or I do have to reorient them a bit to use the green screen But that's not here or there. I don't plan to use the green screen often So that's how everything is set up now with the desk being here directly in between the sets. I Need to run cables to both sets And so the original plan that I had was floor runners run the cables like this to straight You know right to underneath the camera then split it and go this way to both sets Problem is that even with floor runners that still puts it between my office chair I'm so gonna be running over it I'm still gonna be walking on it and while walking on it should be fine. It's gonna get in the way So Eric said hey Nate Why don't instead of running all the cables you need for your sets this way and then splitting things off Why don't we go up the wall and then across the ceiling then down to the floor on the back side here And then once we're on the floor here, we can make a small run Just for the camera right here, and then we can do runs right along the wall like this You know just kind of spread out across and then up a smidge and then run them up the tables or wherever else we have And that's a really brilliant idea. It's the best way to manage the cables. It is Awesome, but that run is a lot longer than doing it on the floor so because it's a lot longer, I don't have long enough cables and The problem with like USB is like a lot of the cables I need are USB The problem with USB extenders is almost all of my devices require USB 3.1 most of the cables that are close to long enough are USB 2.0 because signal degradation is too great for 3.0 to maintain signal integrity at those lengths But there is a solution They're fiber optic USB cables where instead of information traveling through electricity. It travels through light There's a reason fiber optic Internet's amazing and Fiber optic isn't just for internet. It's for data transferring So they do make fiber optic USB cables that I can have them be like 300 feet if I need them so It's just No, we don't we don't have rats, but it's it's a It's a really good idea That fixes a lot of my concerns, but also requires longer cable runs So it's just a whole It's a good idea, and we're doing it We already have the cable runs ran up the wall and across the ceiling like we have we have the runners up there We tested to make sure they're gonna fit all the cables we need it will it's just my god It's a hope and a prayer right now that that it's gonna work with what I have and I'm pretty sure it's not and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to buy at least two Really long fiber optic cables for like 300 bucks That's a lot of money for cables, but I'll never have to replace them those cables should be usable forever. Oh man, it's just a Because part of the studio renovation isn't just making the sets and making things easier and making things Simpler it's also cleaning it up. I I'm tired of having a cable mess everywhere It's just a mental thing it impacts my it impacts what I do Because I have to see it and It just makes the room feel messy And I don't like my room feeling messy because a messy room Just it's a mental impact on my productivity So that's why we're trying to do this and trying to do this right because for the first time ever Everything is torn down new floor and now is the time to do it right and it's just It is what it is. They're self-created problems. I could just go back to my original plan and run them on the floor and not not care but Self-created problems so USB to ethernet is something we considered as well So How USB to ethernet works for those I don't know you have like a hub.  They can be infinitely longer And then you can run your ethernet cable to another USB hub on the other side And then it converts it back into USB and then you can then you could plug it in And sometimes you can run even multiple USB devices off of one ethernet hub run Problem with the ethernet hubs is that they need individual power And for me to get the individual power because I need it I need a hub on both sides You know like a hub Let's say I have a hub behind my computer or like right right mounted on the wall and a hub on the other side I need extra power for those well I have power draw limitations in the studio for the breaker and With all the equipment we're already running We're really really close to the limits to the point that it could flip the breaker It's not going to but if I have to plug in a couple more devices even low power ethernet hubs It's gonna be a problem so I And again the solution that okay, you know I get an electrician and see if you can put in a higher amperage breaker if the If the lines can handle it and there's a lot of other options out there or you could just get The right cable and not worry about it and then that cable should be usable the rest of my life so There's all sorts of options. Trust me. I've weighed a lot of them. I've had So I've had some networking people come in my house And help me map out ideas and options and weigh every single option and the cost You know like there's one point we considered running a rack a Thunderbolt rack Where we would run all of our USB? And everything into this rack that would convert everything in the Thunderbolt and then we could use Thunderbolt and Literally run it through the ceiling have it come out the other side and use that but There's been signal problems Not so the Thunderbolt doesn't have a strong enough single a signal. It's a whole the way these devices Communicate like the audio devices because I'm using some high-end audio devices and other the way they communicate Isn't always perfect over Thunderbolt. It's also not perfect over Ethernet either The only way to guarantee there's no issues is either to plug the device directly with the cable It came with into your computer or make sure you have no signal loss in a longer run and Unfortunately, even using the Ethernet conversion method even using the Thunderbolt conversion method Can impact the signal For those individual devices. It's really weird.  I was able to run that thing all up to the upstairs. No problem. So Huh, it's it's whatever, you know, I've consulted a lot of people. I've had contractors come in I've had networking people come in. I've had I've had some other second opinions of people in it come in I mean, I've even had a professional camera person come in to tell me explain how to use my camera better and When I explained to him the purpose of how I'm trying to set things up where I should put the camera He's the one that convinced me that I should be getting the second light because it doesn't make sense that I'm lighting the whole set with one studio light You really should even out the light on both sides and how I can diffuse the light a little bit better How I could shoot better video with it with a TV And a whole bunch of stuff that that was very informative for me so Trying my best guys like I this is like a no-joke situation. I had so much money invested. I pulled no punches here. I got Literal professionals in that I paid for consulting To to help me sort this all out cuz That's so serious. I take this YouTube thing. I mean this passion of mine this Hobby of mine, whatever you want to call this maybe a potential future career of mine I take it very seriously And I want to make the best content I can and it's crazy because I know I don't have to my voice over gameplay Videos are getting the same sort of viewership as any of my other videos So you can be like man, why do all of this when the viewerships because it's not about the views to me It's about making content. I'm proud of right. I want to make content I am legitimately proud of and I'm not proud of These voice over gameplay contents not what I want Even though it's actually getting consistently higher views than my other videos. I don't care This is me this is how I want to do my content Plugs in phone trips for oh, you don't even know if I'm charging my phone in my office I'm okay. If I do it off my computer And we won't charge as fast, but if I do it, I don't want to get into it There's the thing is the breaker in my studio is the highest amperage breaker in the whole house Think it's a 20 amp Yeah, it's a 20 amp It's the only 20 am and why that room has a 20 amp by the way in the house came that way I have no idea what people who own this house before we're doing in that damn room I don't know if they're running a math lab.  So It's just the way we have things running in that and there's a lot of high-power devices, but All of it's for you guys You guys don't want to know what my electric bill is It's decently hot as high for a house my size Not too bad because my electric company started using a bit more solar Not solar wind wind power. So that brought the bill down a little bit, but Um Finish the security camera and so pretty much the same thing all cats it runs in the same setup as yours It was hot AF in the middle of summer Yeah Yeah, we we we we uh, we have a security camera system now We we went all wireless which wireless has its limitations But we I decided I didn't want to run like you ran the cat. I decided I didn't want to run the wires That was more of a lazy laziness on my it but I mean for where we have the cameras the wireless works The last the last bit for that for the security cameras and for the studio is a proper UPS So I want to get a couple UPS units Wanted to keep the cameras up the power goes out Especially if we're not home and then to Because the camera the cameras have batteries in them, but the the last like two years on the battery I just got a rumor or play some and then Yeah, although, you know making sure obviously if I have any Expensive equipment that isn't shut down or is running for a specific reason like say I want to access files From the main computer when I'm on the go at E3 with my laptop So I left it up so I could use it sort of like a server That it has backup UPS power in case something happens, but I Don't have I don't I don't have Any pieces I didn't put that in the budget yet, but that's that's the plans later this year I'm gonna end up buying some some really nice UPS is System sellers out the ass for switches to your Pokemon legends tend to switch sports to the tune three Pokemon scrawl it and violet Zelda worthwhile to etc. Dude the system sellers this year insane man switch switch If they convert if they can get enough units to store could have the best year It's ever had sales wise if they can get enough units Yeah, the more you put in the circuit and the more points of failure. Yeah.  Oh, it's it's it's insane But it's gonna be cool and it's hopefully gonna look really clean. I can't wait to show you guys the studio tour I'm really really excited To show you guys the work. I think it's gonna be worthwhile. The only thing I think now I'm stressing about is like our office chairs I had to worry about it if the if the The wheels on the office chairs if they're gonna harm our new flooring over time It's so that I've been looking into a lot of people suggest switching to different casters on them But then you got to find casters that You know work with with the chairs we have and anyways There's other solutions as well. You could just buy something to roll your chair on instead But you know, like I don't like those hard plastic things.  What are you doing?  They need a new switch factory. It's not that simple. They don't have enough chips so It'll be worth it. I mean that's in the end I keep thinking about the end goal the end goal is for all the stress and all the money and everything else the end goal It's gonna be sweet You know, I got I got a guy, you know I'm I'm paying right now to to make some of the backgrounds I'm gonna need for some of the things I'm doing and it's just it's gonna it's going to be sweet And I can't wait to show you guys like I can't I'm for me personally I can't wait for my vision to come to you because this is a vision I have I'm visualizing all of this. I haven't actually seen it It's all in my head So I'm just kind of hoping it comes together and if it doesn't I'm gonna be very frustrated, but I'm not gonna show you anything if it's not to what I want. So If there's a problem with one of the sets, we just won't use that set until I get it figured out Well the podcast I don't know if it's gonna return this week We have to take a week off because we don't have anywhere to record it and Then in my current So, well, I don't know. I'm hopeful that I'll have the studio up by Wednesday, but there's there's no guarantee there Yeah, it's rubber wheels. I have to I mean I had a lot of people suggest I go to But you got it. You got to find ones that fit Oh, by the way, something hard It's like a Google search await if I had the rubber wheels that fit with the current So I could pop the casters off the three chairs we have in there now and put on Basically the flat plastic casters aren't really that great on any floor, but like cement Anyways It's alright, it's all an investment to make content the way I want to make it not because it makes sense to invest that kind of money I'm crazy. I'm a crazy SOB, but I love it Plus, I think the look of my videos helps me helps my videos to have a different feel have a unique feel To how we do things here at Nintendo Prime That matters to me It was for a law firm. Yeah, there is some of a wired cameras and reliability as well But yeah, the what the wireless cameras are fine They work for what they work for what we what we need them for For just a little at-home security system, it's fine Maybe that motion detection all I gotta do is hit arm their arms and suddenly my phone will my phone like now We'll get a billion A billion notifications to let me know what's going on as for trying I can fix I Could fix my daughter's 3ds. She needs a new top screen She broke her top screen. I Can fix it. I just haven't I just keep forgetting about it pretty much I thought about reaching out the tronics fix for a couple of things like my switch OLED that I Gave away that needs a new screen and I don't have extra switches to like rip screens out of I thought about reaching out them to see if he happens to have any extra stuff or extra parts I can buy it from him or if I can send that 3ds to him have or send that switch or let to him have him fix it for like a small fee And then maybe do like a joint a joint thing But a lot of these bigger youtubers and this is nothing against them They don't really respond to just random people on the internet, which Because my YouTube channel isn't that big. I'm basically no different than any of you reaching out to him So he hasn't responded which I'm not really surprised, you know because I thought it because I'd be willing to pay of course for him to fix up That 3ds so I can get it out to the person who won it last year because the person who won it last year is waiting for me to fix it and He wants me to make a video on fixing it Well, if I have someone else fix it then I need to figure out some sort of video way That that we can do something with that because he really wanted me to make a video out of the fixing process So Oh dude the top screens for the new 2ds. Yeah, they're out there. I can find them. They're just They're a pain to win So it's one of the like the bottom screens easier to replace on the top screen There's just a lot more to take apart on the 3ds. I've only replaced the top screen once And it was a pain but You're definitely crazy. I know When's the new studio ready for action cotton hoping this week at some point, but I I don't know. I don't know. I mean our goal is that all the floor is done tomorrow assuming that doesn't have to get ripped up, but Nobody knows We're all waiting the contractor this morning went back to Milwaukee to the the his um To his warehouse to see if he's got enough to finish the upstairs I don't mind buying finally expressed. That's not the problem Getting getting new switch OLED screens. You got to make sure because this is what I this is I'm gonna fix this for myself We gave away that switch OLED last year and he knew it was gonna be it could be up to a year Maybe two years who knew how long it was gonna take before I could buy extra parts Um, but I want to make sure that it's an original screen. I don't want to go with a knockoff Gen 9's confirmed dude. I said so too. Remember remember me and uh On just restart when he's like, there's no way gen 9's this year and I'm like I think gen 9 might be 2022 I can follow patterns. I'm like, I don't think legends are you just did what you think it did I think that's why they off shop brilliant diamond and shiny pearls so they could keep gen 9 on schedule Oh, yeah, aliexpress is a crapshoot quality and then when I when this is a product for somebody else I might go on their aliexpress. I mean, I'll go through for like screws Like I need very specialized screws or something like that like fine You know that craps cheap as hell and if you got it wrong, you got it wrong Yeah, if it's open world, we don't know that it's actually open world bird man Unless it's been confirmed since we started streaming here. Let me see I don't think it'd be an open world has been confirmed, but I will double check um And any new content legends are key is today Sounds cool. Yeah, no, there's no additional information at the moment that is But it looks like, you know, obviously I get it. You watch that trailer and you're like, oh, that looks like legends arceus Maybe sort of kind of Oh jake, thanks for sending me the the tweet that confirmed the name of the starters What other information is there on the starters here?  I can see that. Yep. Then quacksley a ducking a duckling pokemon ducking pokemon hey The duck is the tallest Doesn't weigh the most of the crock does Ability torrent the earnest and tidy duckling pokemon. That's funny Introducing the main characters Okay, yep, you can you know, okay male female. Okay Just different palettes in there. Um You know blue versus red between the games, okay Pokemon scarlet pokemon violent pokemon surround by the games the newest chapters and pokemon series are coming to nintendo switch other this year of these new titles pokemon series takes a new evolutionary step Hold on stop The pokemon series takes a new evolutionary step allowing you to explore freely in a richly expressed open world confirmed It is open world pokemon fully The next step in legend darkest going from open areas to open world is happening in the same year Here's more information Read that again The pokemon scarlet and pokemon violent games. This is from the official website The newest chapters in the pokemon series are coming to nintendo switch later this year with the new titles the pokemon series takes a new evolutionary step allowing you to explore freely freely in a richly expressed open world More than that various towns various towns multiple towns Again, one of the criticisms of legends arceus one town various towns blend seamlessly into the wilderness with no borders There's no borders You can go into the town from multiple angles breath of the wild style Breath of the wild style don't matter Seamless towns with no borders. You'll be able to see the pokemon of this region in the skies the seas the forest on the streets all over You'll be able to experience the true joy of the pokemon series battling against wild pokemon in order to catch them now in an open world game that players of any age can enjoy These are official remarks off the website Okay. All right. All right. My interest level went from cautious to day one Going day one. I don't know if I don't know I mean, it's it's probably still gonna have the traditional Pokemon gameplay. Maybe I don't know. I don't nothing about this. Nothing about this is traditional Nothing about this sounds traditional. So let's let's see what happens. I still don't like it's the two game thing I was hoping with legends arceus. They'd be like, oh, we don't need the two game Whatever But uh, it doesn't mention gyms yet There there there might be gyms. There might be something else a different league Coliseums, who knows? It doesn't mention gyms specifically. I'm opening up the website and just double checking here I don't I don't see a mention of gyms yet See some really fresh looking screenshots. I like better than the trailer did but that doesn't that doesn't mean much Yeah, I don't I don't see a mention of gyms yet No, no gym mention God, we gotta have a podcast this week I gotta talk about this system. Yeah, there doesn't doesn't mention any gyms yet. It doesn't mean there won't be any but So excited I don't view legends arceus is unfinished personally, but I guess if you view it that way there's nothing I can I can do about that john I can't speak the brilliant diamond shiny pearl didn't feel unfinished to me. But again, that's also a remake sword and shield I don't know if I call. See the thing is I don't think any of them are really unfinished But that's just my my opinion. That doesn't mean I like them. I didn't like the really diamond shiny pearl hated that game You guys saw me torture myself for seven weeks. I hated that game What's that rescue squad cult? So we're good. Yeah, dude. Breath of the wild. Yeah, because the towns are even open that that's what's so cool Is like, okay, the world's open. But like, you know the town. Nope. Towns are truly open. No borders Answer wherever you want that that's just This feels like taking the legends arceus concept and leveling it up to the extreme. I love it I love it Based in india or somewhere in europe Maybe because there was a lot of hints towards the india and legends. Maybe I have no idea All I know is this is really really exciting, man Really exciting Sorry, I'm checking my notifications. All right. Well, I gotta head out here. I gotta go. Uh, help the flooring people Especially since the one guy is by himself All right, well, you guys are awesome. Thanks for tuning in. I just wanted to chat with you guys We have that new generation stuff. Maybe give you guys an update on how the house and studio rental is going We're all good. Catch you guys later. Maybe we'll end up streaming Next week or something. I have no idea tomorrow. Maybe maybe tomorrow night. We'll see Otherwise, I will catch you guys later. It's been a lot of fun Um, it's just nice to be back chit chatting with our live our live people again. Peace out


Right now, there are open platforms that admit everyone to the community and that bring everyone together and say, you know, you are welcome to come join in, but that have practices underneath them that aren't transparent, that the users of those platforms don't have input into and that ultimately do harm to the relationships among the folks who are trying to use the platform and to our ability to trust that the platform is going to be there and be in the interest of scholars going forward. And so really being able to think about openness, not just as anyone can come use this platform or anyone can download the stuff off the platform, but as a kind of transparency that makes clear all of the operating principles under which the platform is being sustained and supported becomes absolutely crucial. And so some of that, I think, has to reflect at the level of governments. We really have to have platforms that are not just open to any member, but that members have some kind of faith in because they have a say in their futures.
