Do you like just looking randomly off to the left? Is that what I pay you to do, Obsbot? Is that what I pay you to do? That's the real question. Don't worry. We're coming. You working now, buddy? Huh, huh, huh? No? Looking snazzy, huh? Um, one thing I should do... Hold on. Hold on, one thing I should do is I am going to turn off the lights in here. Give me a second. Come on. Come on, see? Come on, come on. It's dark in here. It's dark in here. One of these knobs rings that brightness down a little bit. Hey, there we go. Think we're good. Just wanted to turn the lights off a little bit in here.  I literally, guys, have studio lights and other lights in the studio on me all the time. If you guys want me to turn on the second one over here so there's even lighting in my face, let me know. This does give a kind of a more dynamic look. You know, that's how we do it around here. Yeah, yeah. Everything set up, I think. I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure I got everything set up. So we're having an issue with some of our audio today. Yeah, this has more of like a dynamic look because you get the extra shade on my face. So some people like this, some people would rather both lights be on. I want to test something with you guys quick, okay? Before we get into these super chats or any crazy stuff happens tonight, tell me how this sounds because I actually don't know how this sounds. Do I sound okay? There's an echo. That's what I thought. Hold on. Now, no echo, right? Good? Good, no echo? Yeah, no, no, no. I know. That's what I was asking. How does it sound? There was an echo. It's okay. So I was having an issue with my sound equipment today. I was trying to run my back feed through this microphone. And the problem is, I don't know if this is an issue with Elgato because we're using the Elgato Wave 3 mic here for our stream setup here. For some reason, when I run the back audio through here so I can hear myself and hear what's going on, the whole mic just shuts down. So I have to run it through the desktop audio, which is fine, except if I have the desktop audio on for you guys, which is how I can play music and all that, there it will be that echo. You see what I'm saying? It's kind of weird. So now to listen to myself, I got to listen through that PC audio. It's fine. It's fine. So everything should be good then. I actually don't have a lot of sound effects set up right now. But you know, oh yeah, I love that button. We now got a bra button courtesy of Yulia, my lovely fiance and my oldest son, Aiden. That is him doing the bra, bra, bra, bra, bra, bra. All right, let me say hi to everyone who's here today, huh? We got a lot to talk about. We got Nintendo sales data to talk about. That's always fun to me. And then obviously, we do have at least the best buy giveaway today, if not a little bit more, we'll see how it goes. But first off, let me say hi to everyone who's here. We got Daniel Flores here. How's it going? One of our members is here as well, Loki Ravenstorm. How's it going, buddy? We have another, let me see. Another person here in T-800 CSM 101. We have Jovan Francois here. Mojo Oryzen. Jesus Calderon. Another member of the board in Craze's Coffinette. Yet another member in Cindy Estes. Another member in Donna Savoy. Then we got my lovely fiance, who's also a moderator in Yulia Knudsen. We have Jose Duarte. Kenzen. 100 Power is here as well. One of our moderators and members is here in Seahawks 24 rule. Shout out to Stream Elements, by the way. We're keeping Stream Elements for one reason and one reason alone. It can like randomly advertise my links. So that's really cool. Otherwise, I have switched back to Stream Labs. So we can talk about why we switched back to Stream Labs in a little while. But for now, let's just keep this this shindig going. We have Brian Z is here. Donna Savoy is here. One of our members, I think I said hi to Donna. Sorry, but then Loki Ravenstorm. I said hi to you as well. Timothy Lay is here. Bowset is here. Stream Labs is here as well. Freshly added in. We have one of our members here in Nintendo All Stars. How's it going, buddy? We have Don Lewis here. Michael Orlando is here. Paul Gale Network is here. How's it going, buddy? Scrolling on down this list. We got Brian Z is here. One of our members and moderators is here in JLo. How's it going? Alexandra Flores, I think I said hi already. Sylvester Favala is here. Scrolling down that list. Motley Garage. The Elemental Hero of the Shadow Link. Dragon Wolf King is here. The LED lights in the background. Yeah, you guys like that? You like that little addition? I think it's just a little different. Let's see here. We got Dory here. LAX is here. We got Bears, Fang, Goomba is here. Timothy Lay is here. Deadly Creature, one of our members is here. How's it going, buddy? Let's see here. K-Dog is here. Un-Honestly is here. Joycey J is here. Michael Orlando is here. We got Blanky Cabardo is here. Let's see here. Sammy Sweet is here. Nate, I seriously am so grateful for your tweet about how underappreciated the arts are. My kids mean the world to me and I'm so happy to help them. Yes, music and music classes and band and marching band, Color Guard, all that stuff. Massively underappreciated by a lot of people. There's actually a lot of schools where those entire programs have been cut due to budget cuts, which I think is extremely unfortunate. So yeah, I'm always happy to support something that I was part of. I was in marching band. I was in concert band. I wasn't in jazz band, but that's because I was in show choir, which the practices were at the same time. So it was kind of hard to do that. I was also in concert choir. I did all that while being a four sport athlete, while also having pretty good grades and having a full-time girlfriend all through high school. It was a lot. How I found time to game is beyond me. I guess, you know, I did have a job too. I worked at Kmart of all places. So yeah, I don't know how the hell I found time for everything, but I'm sure Kmart's probably what took the maxi. Like, yeah, I worked at Kmart, but yeah, it was probably only a day a week back in those days. Like on a Sunday or something. Slavic Hince Yaak is here. How's it going, buddy? Venata 712, one of our members is here. Yo, yo, yo. How's it going, buddy? We got Sunday Wak is here as well. That's awesome. If I missed anybody, I apologize. Bianchi Cabardo from the Philippines is here. Welcome all the way from the Philippines. That is awesome. Well, hopefully I'm not peeking there and everything's sounding good. Everything's sounding great. We got Rick Stains here as well. What did you play? You played alto and tenor saxes, the CX-24 rule. I was a percussionist. So piano, bells, bunch of different drums. Oh my God, so many that I can't even... Then there was like the stand-up, like, bell set. You hit with a hammer. I forget what it was called because I haven't played it since high school, but really no different than the standard bell set between piano and notes. Yeah, whole bunch of different stuff. Full set, triangle. Always need more triangle, man. Yeah, dude, there was one time for a pep band that I played for a sport that, you know, I obviously wasn't playing, you know, a sport I didn't play for. I was in the pep band and I was going to town on that triangle, baby. Always, more triangle. Always need more triangle. More cowbell as well. Always need more cowbell. All right, was I a bad or good student? Good in high school. Pretty good in middle school. Elementary school.  We had kind of like our gang. It was weird. We were basically bullies, but we were only bullies to like other gangs. And when I say gangs, we're not talking like, you know, ghetto style gangs or anything. This was like playground, like, you know, like recess, the show recess, how like there'd be like cliques of people and they'd sometimes like push each other and like it was kind of like that. But I got really good grades and, you know, I got in school suspension once and on detention a bunch of times, but my grades were always great. So my parents tended not to care so much because my grades were doing well. When did I meet Eric? I met Eric at a place called Monkey Business, which was a daycare center when I was really, really little, like really little, like three or four. It's the earliest memory I have of Eric. That's how I met him. And then we went to Monkey Business together and then eventually when we got older, like 10, 11, 12, we ended up switching over to the YMCA program, which was really cool because they did a lot of field trips every Wednesday, like go to the local park or go to the local swimming pool or we, you know, like once every summer would end up going to Noah's Ark out in the Dells. So yeah, it was a really cool program. But Eric and I were in that two years together as well. And what's funny is when my parents moved and built their first house, we were living in apartment complexes before that, I had no idea that Eric was literally less than half a block from my, we didn't realize it for like three years. So there was like this three year period where Eric and I could have basically hung out every day during the summer and we didn't because we had no idea that we literally lived half a block from each other. We actually discovered each other by accident. I was over in a field across from his house, kicking a ball around and Eric just walks outside and he's like, Nate? I'm like, Eric, wait a second, how long have you lived there my whole life? How long have you lived out here? I don't know, three years. Well, basically we hung out like every single day after that, besides obviously the times that I was spending with a lady friend or something. But yeah, we hung on a lot of that pretty much all through high school and all that good stuff. All right. So a couple things to note because this is the night stream. This is a Friday stream. So we do have shots, so all of our super chats can lead to shots of various degrees and various types. I will note, if you would like to super chat and support the channel and support what we do, but you do not want me to take a shot and then we're talking about alcohol, then all you have to do is put the word NS into that super chat. That tells me no shot and who knows, maybe I'll do push-ups or sit-ups instead for each buck for those ones. But yeah, so we get a $5 super chat and we do a shot of rum-chata. If we get a $10 super chat, we do a shot of one of the UVs. We have a little bit of UV blue left and then we have some UV grape. If we get a $20 super chat, that's when we bust out the gold schlager.  Otherwise, you used to me drink a lot of water tonight. Just keeping fresh on that water. So, how you guys doing? I hope you're having a really, really great day. One thing I'm noticing is my mouse is dying and what sucks about my mouse dying is that it uses the exact same cord that my stream deck uses. And of course, I don't have an extra USB-C cord, just chilling here because I'm kind of not prepared. Where would I have an extra USB-C cord? Uh-oh. Rot-Roll. I don't have an extra cord. I don't have an extra cord. Uh-oh. Well, let's see what I got back here.  Um, Rot-Roll. Not good. Hold up. I'm going to borrow this cord. I'm so sorry to my set. I'm sorry, Seth. We're going to borrow you from my set. I'm so sorry. I know I had you cable managed and everything, but I need to make sure my mouse doesn't die. Please don't die on me, mouse. Please don't die on me. It just started turning around. It's a wireless Corsair mouse. We've got to make sure that's charged up and doing good and it is now plugged in. All right. So, how are you guys doing? How are you guys doing? Hopefully you're doing good today. So, by the way, drink responsibly and all that. I am obviously an adult and I do drink responsibly. I will cut myself off if I ever get to a point that I feel like I am out of control, which I don't really get to that point very often last time I was New Year's Eve. So, I literally stay in control and cut myself off, space things out as I need to. I can handle a lot though, so that is that. All right. We do have some giveaways. What we're doing today, we have one more game from Best Buy to give away. So, Best Buy partnered with us this week for Mario 10 Day. We were supposed to do the giveaway during our podcast. That ended up not happening because we had a bunch of issues with our podcast as many of you guys might know who attended. So, we will do that final game giveaway today. And who knows? Maybe I decided to give away a couple eShop gift cards as we go. One thing to note up here, you might see the member goal up here. Right now, our goal is to get back up to 150 members. If we get to 150 members, we do have a members only giveaway. So, yeah, that could increase your chances of winning. The giveaways are all randomly drawn, randomly selected. But yeah, the only requirement to enter all of our giveaways is that you are subscribed. Shouldn't be hard because subscriber mode is turned on in the chat, so you shouldn't even be able to chat at all and you have to use the chat to enter. So, you should be subscribed, I would guess, to enter. Sometimes, though, YouTube's limiting it just to subscribe or thing doesn't work. So, yeah, there is that. I'm still doing giveaways through the old way. However, I will note, moderators, we are going to be updating how we handle giveaways in the future. Basically, we're changing the email address. Right now, the winners all end up emailing Nathan at NintendoPrime.net. We're going to be changing that to giveaway at NintendoPrime.net. And I'm also going to be opening up a news tip line rumor tip line, et cetera. It tips at NintendoPrime.net. That's going to be opening up as well here, probably sometime next week as I try to get more organized and obviously stay extremely organized for E3. Because I don't know if you guys heard, it sounds like E3 is coming back, which means our E3 extravaganza is coming back. The E3 extravaganza 2022 edition is going to be happening. So, yeah, we have a lot to go through with that. Obviously, it's going to be a bit more than just E3 this year. It's expanded because we will be covering Summer Game Fest as well because Summer Game Fest was actually significantly better than E3 last year besides Nintendo and Microsoft. So, we are going to be starting with whenever Summer Game Fest starts and go all the way through E3. So, if it ends up being six days long, a week long, I don't know. We're going to figure it out and we're going to make it happen. Yulia probably won't appreciate that much because, yeah, it's a bit rough when one person has to be solely responsible for the kids most of the time. So, Yulia is already like, are you kidding me? Yeah, I know, honey. I know how hard it gets to be solely responsible. However, I will note that I will be working out some stuff with my sister and my parents to help take the kids off our hands for part of that. I know my parents helped for like a day last year. Didn't really feel like much when it was just one single day they helped. So, yeah, I'm going to be working out getting extra help for that. Plus, you know, there's the new baby but my sister just hacked and congratulations, sis. Always great to have a new baby in the family. So, yeah, we'll sort all that out, honey, so you're not stuck all by yourself doing that. Plus, you know, I don't necessarily want you to take off work. Like, that just kind of won't make any sense. Like, no, keep working. We'll figure it out. We have lots of time to figure it out, though. So, that being said, that event is massive and anyone who's at it last year knows it's massive. We have hundreds and hundreds of things given away. Bunch of winners. Well, physical items, digital items, video games, consoles, accessories, art. The whole gambit we cross with that event and give away as much as we humanly possibly are capable of. We partner with as many companies as we can. We also put in as much of our own money as we can for those giveaways and do our best to give away as much as we can during that E3 period. And we try to provide extra entertainment throughout the stream. We bring on special guests to talk about different things. Sometimes a special guest might even bring their own things to give away. I have no idea. We also like to have contests, like, you know, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, stuff like that. We did that last year as well.  This year we're going to be adding in a death wheel. You'll have to wait and find out what that's like because we're still obviously fully conceptualizing that. It will be a physical wheel that we spin. It won't be just a digital wheel. So it's going to be a lot of fun for that. And various punishments and contests and lots of things we do to help entertain you because we are well aware that the ESA does not put on a very good show. We know. Hello Verizon 5G. Hello, God, who was it that showed up and all that it was advertised a movie that were working at Bethesda? Or no, it wasn't Bethesda. It was, I can't remember. The people behind Borderlands or whatever. I don't know. Bottom line is they really dropped the ball. And there was a whole bunch of companies that dropped the ball and it makes it not very entertaining. So as people can attest who attended last year, Eric and I do our best to make sure you are always entertained at every moment during our show because we live react to everything as well as provide entertainment. So why do you say yelling great mistake? Anyways, so yeah, we do a lot of that and we entertain and we try our best for really long streams. Anyone from 12 to 15 hours last day was 17 last year. So we'll see what happens. But Gearbox was the one that did that. So yeah, it's going to be insane. It's going to be crazy. And yeah, pretty much people were upset with the E3. Basically, anyone who tuned in to E3 through us, they were disappointed with E3 and the ESA. They were not disappointed with our show. So it's going to be really, really cool. All right, so people are excited. So shall we start with the news? I don't even have it up right now. I probably should get it up. Let's go to the originating source of this news. We're going to be talking about the NPD a bit here because Matt Piskatella, who works for the NPD, put up some cool stuff. So let's see if this is working correctly. No, no, no, no. I want to leave you like that. Come on. This should work. I think I have this set up right. I guess we're about to find out. Wait, why can't I see this? What is going on? Oh, there it is. No, no, like that. Full screen. There we go. All right, let's hit my button and find out what happens here. I hope that worked. So as we go through this, Matt Piskatella here. Let's see here. Is it popping up? I'm waiting for it to catch up. It did. All right.  So let me see here. No, we don't want the quick version. We want the full shebang here. So here we go. Here's the full breakdown of the NPD. And Nintendo is back on top for those that obviously didn't know. So here it says Friday, 2022 US NPD thread. Again, he works for the NPD and handles the gaming sector game. Hardware and content accessories sell 6% compared to a year ago to 4.4 billion declines were experienced across all major categories. And then here's a quick look at all of that. Not really too worried about these figures. This obviously just deals with how much money those companies made 2022. Year-to-day spending is down 4% compared to last year, which I mean, people are coming out of the pandemic and going back to work. That's bound to happen. So we had US NPD hardware, video game hardware dollar sales fell 27% when compared to February of last year. The 295 million. Oh no, year-to-day dollar sales are 5% lower than a year ago at 6.85. All right, Switch was the best-selling hardware platform of February, both in unit and dollar sales.  Switch was back on top. Remember, Switch lost out to PlayStation last month, caused people to be like, oh yeah, the Nintendo Switch. Nobody wants a Switch anymore. Nobody cares. Oh, Furukawa was full of it. Don't believe Furukawa when he said in December that we were not gonna be able to meet demand in January.  The Switch is dated. Nobody wants it, blah, blah. That's kind of the narrative that happened last month because Switch was in third place behind PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Turns out no, they were just short on supply because now that the supply is back up, they're back on top. So that's what happened there. And what's even more interesting is the Xbox series. So the S and the X ranked at number two with PlayStation falling from one to three. Again, this is all about supply and demand. All of the consoles are selling out. So there is that. PlayStation 5 leads video game hardware in 2022 dollar sales here today. But Switch has the highest unit sales. So this is just for February. So even though Switch was in third place in January, it lets you know the gap between third and first wasn't that large in January. And the gap Nintendo has right now from first to third in February is significantly different, which is why Switch leads in unit sales, while PlayStation leads in dollar sales. All right, premium games Elden Ring debuted, debuted, sorry, I always pronounce the T, as the best selling game of February 2022 as well as 2020 year to date, launch month sales of Elden Ring with the second highest for any tractor title released in the past 12 months, trillion only call of duty Vanguard. Let's see here. After one month in the market, Elden Ring has ranked as the fifth best selling game in the last 12 months. Horizon 2 Forbidden West was the second best selling game of February, also ranking first on PlayStation platforms, dollar sales of PlayStation 5 version of Horizon 2 Forbidden West, a new launch month record for PlayStation 5 platform, which again, there hasn't been a ton of games launched on the new system yet. So that record is going to continue to get beat and beat and beat for quite some time. Total Warhammer 3 PC game, baby, debuted as the number five best selling game of February. That's awesome, ranking second on Steam. That's really, really good. Let's see here. For mobile, February 22 is the first time that February spending was down year over year since the start of the pandemic.  That's pretty much the gist of it there. Here's the top 20 video games during the month of February. We got Elden Ring and Horizon at the top and Pokemon Legends Arceus only dropped just number three in the month of February. Single platform only counts physical sales so digital is not included and it's only beat out by new releases and then it beat out two other new releases. So I would say Pokemon Legends Arceus is doing rather great. We see Breath of the Wild popped right back up into the top 20 after falling out of it last month. You see Brilliant Diamond Shining. Pearl dropped a little bit but it's still right there for Nintendo. And then you got your bevy of Nintendo titles here and Mario Party Superstars and all across the New Horizons, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 still tracking up here as well. So yeah, Nintendo is doing just fine and I think this is really impressive that Legends Arceus held the top three position in the following month after launch. I'm very interested in what the updated sales figures are for Legends Arceus. We know it sold almost 7 million during launch. So now I really want to know what's been over a month. Hey, how well has Pokemon Legends Arceus really sold? I suspect it's over 10 million at this point but I don't really know. All right, it's going on down. Obviously we get year to date, 12 months ending and then we get to the top 10 for Nintendo again. This is basically all physical sales because Nintendo doesn't provide the digital sales to the NPD. So you got Legends Arceus number one, Mario Kart 8.2. You're going to see basically the order we saw them there in the Super Mario 3D world just as 232 and new Super Mario Bros. It's going to be interesting to see what the sales are now because for the month of March, March obviously we had the Mario 10 day. A bunch of Mario games discounted to 40 bucks, both digital and physical. Which by the way, if you use our affiliate links down in the description to buy those games, the sale is still ongoing, we get a 22% kickback because Best Buy partnered with us for that. Those are obviously Best Buy links and only work in the US. In fact, if you click on those links and buy anything from Best Buy, we seem to be getting a 22% kickback which that was not supposed to be part of the deal. So thank you Best Buy for providing 22% back on your entire website. So if you're looking in the market to buy a $3,000 TV right now, hey, look, why not get a nice kickback to the channel? We'll gladly take some free money from Best Buy. Let's see here. So yeah, a whole bunch of updates on here. You can glance at PlayStation, obviously who's rising the elder ring, then Dying Light 2, Call of Duty Madden, Marvel, the kind of typical list you'll see on PlayStation. Same here on Xbox, you can see the pretty typical same list of stuff, except with Halo and Forza squeezing in there versus Sony's exclusive. So yeah, the lists are pretty solid and pretty expected and we're not really going to go over much else from that. So obviously, what are you guys' thoughts? What are your thoughts about Nintendo being back on top? What are your thoughts on the sales data? What are your thoughts on any of it? Doesn't that have to just be Nintendo? What are your thoughts? You know, I've got my Switch here, but I've got my Xbox controller here that's hooked up over there. Like, hey, what are your thoughts? Let me know. What are your thoughts on any of this? Heck, you want to talk more about Total War, Warhammer 3? Hell, let's go there. I love PC games, man. So Alexander Flores says, I'll be honest, I'm happy Nintendo's doing well, but also a little sad the new generation aren't beating the old lovable Switch. Well, again, supply, supply, supply, supply, supply, supply, supply. Nintendo's had the supply chains going for Switch for much longer than PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series has had supply chains going for. So Nintendo has feared a more forgiving supply chain, basically. They have more lines making more units faster because they've been at it longer. You know, that's probably going to change someday. Don't know when. Paul Gales says, good MPD results even last month when the Nintendo Switch wasn't first in the US. It was very likely first in the world. Yo, dude, it destroyed in Japan, but it destroys in Japan every month. Nintendo's still doing good. Nintendo's still doing amazing. Let's see here. I never worry about Nintendo. They're basically printing money at this point. Yeah, they had the couple of years that they actually lost money year over year during the early Wii U 3DS days. But that's in the rearview mirror at this point. Those were the only two years and like 40 years in video games that they've even lost money in the video game market. So Nintendo's doing really, really well. And it wasn't like they lost a ton of money either. It was like, oh no, they lost 200 million this year. Okay. And they usually make billions. So like, okay, a couple of down years that Nintendo wasn't sweating it. And they didn't do what a lot of other companies do or like they downsize and fire employees. No, they just cut corporate salaries, kept all their employees, and knew they were going to bounce back. And here we are today. What OLED grip should you get, says Damon Runyon. All right, you guys, if you have any questions, be sure to at me in the chat. So I use the Sculling Company NeoGrip. Now this is their updated version, obviously the animal crossing one. And this one is fully dockable, meaning you could stick it in your dock. It will not bend your dock and it works like a charm. And that's one reason why I've gone with Sculling Company is because, yes, I can dock it and I don't have to ever take the grip off. Basically, even if I want to use the Joy-Cons, they just slide off and they just slide back in. So I can still do that without ever having to really take it out of the grip. So that's why I really, really like this grip. I will say the Satisfye Grip is a bit more comfortable. Now these do have adjusting things where you can take these off and put on smaller ones and stuff like that. But this one's comfortable enough for me that I'm willing to sacrifice just a little bit of extra comfort Satisfye gives, especially since they offset over here a little bit, feels a little bit better. But I don't ever have to take this off.  And since I'm constantly going from portable to dock mode, portable to dock mode, I'd rather have a grip that I just don't have to remove. So that's what I win with. But not everybody's going to feel that way, not sponsored or anything.  But this one's comfortable enough. Like it's like the balance of comfort plus I can dock it. I wish Satisfye would make a version of their standard grip that was dockable. But they haven't, for some reason, they always got to put the feet on there for a kickstand. And I get it. Some people like that feature. I just don't really care. Basically the only downfall is I don't have tabletop mode. Like if I, if I, if I kick the kickstand out, I mean, it's basically going flat. Like it literally goes flat. So I do lose tabletop mode with this, but since I don't care about tabletop mode, doesn't really matter to me. Oh, let's see here. They sold their baseball company. It wasn't a, I mean, you can say it's a company. They sold their majority shares in the baseball team. Yes. Because only the founding family cared about that baseball team. Nintendo really did the Seattle Mariners, I believe. But they still have like a really tiny minority stake in it, but it's, it's whatever. They held on to a little minority stake out of respect for the founding, founding family. How much for a grip do you have a code for them? I do not. But if you go to their website, I can link you right to it. I used to have a code for them, but I might have to go back and look if I still, if my code still works. So where's the one I have there? They have a few different versions. They might not have the Animal Crossing one that I have anymore. That one might be, that one might be, might be all done because I know that was a temporary, but let me go here, go to switch OLED grip case OLED. So they got the white one. No, no, no, that's a different version. Neo grip, yeah, it's the Neo grip specifically. That is the one that is dockable. All right, yeah, so here's the, so here's the link to the Neo grip, the one that I personally use. But again, because you can dock it. That's it. That's the only reason because you can dock it. So there, there's a link to that. Yeah, and they got different colors. They got white. I said they got the red and blue. One with a case, one without a case. And that seems to be it. They don't seem to have the Animal Crossing one anymore. So yeah, and just the grip alone isn't too bad. Runs about $40 with the case, which I don't have the case on me at this moment, but yeah, the case lets you not take this off too. So if you want a travel case that this fits into, that's going to be about $40 to have that with the case. Otherwise, I think it's $20 without the case. So it's not that expensive either way. I prefer it with the case because again, if I want to travel with it, hey, I don't want it to take my grip off when I'm traveling. So get the travel case that it fits in. Now, I think go to AliExpress and get a grip controller or save it. You can get grips off of AliExpress as well. I can only vouch for the ones that I've put my hands on. And I've put my hands on Sculling Company's Neo Grip and I know it works and all the features they advertise for it are spot on. In fact, you can use it with a regular switch. It has this tiny little piece in here.  Basically there's two screws in here and you can remove this tiny little strip and then this converts into working with a standard switch. So yeah, so you can use it on either switch actually. Here's 80 likes. Where are 80 likes? I don't see 80 likes. I see 58. You guys are awesome though. Thank you so much for liking the stream. About the Grip case, I said Ali didn't dock for you thinking about trying the Neo Grip. It's the Neo Grip. It's the Neo Grip. So they had a grip that came out at launch of Switch OLED that I had and I did a video on it. In fact, I can grab it for you. It's right here. So this is the one that came out at launch. This is not the same grip. This is the launch edition grip and the Switch OLED launch edition grip is not technically usable with a dock. I mean, I shoved it in there, but it really, really, and when I looked at them, when they came in on McMahon, the design differences, it really doesn't look any different. It really doesn't look any different. You know what they did. You know what the smart bastards did. So the reason that this one wasn't working with the dock is because this is the launch model is they they didn't shave this down here for the rails. So when it hits the rail, it'll bend your dock. Well, on here, they angled that section there for the rails. So it perfectly slides in with the rail. And that's how they fixed it. So literally, it was just a little minor design change to do that. So this is the launch model that I don't suggest you get, but they fixed it now. So now they all come like that. They all come with a little slide like that because it was a launch model. It was one of those. I don't think when they designed it, they had a switch OLED arm hand. So they just looked at the dimensions and slapped it together. Then once the switch OLED came out, they're like, oh crap, we need a slightly redesigned in a smidge, which really wasn't much of a redesign to make it work. And it works fine. We're straight. Hey, we're at 64 likes. Nice guys. And yes, we will give away the Best Buy game here, probably at the top of the hour here. When we get to 10 p.m. central time, we will give away that Best Buy game. Because why not? Why not have other giveaways tonight as well? So stay tuned. How do we use that pre-order? I think the stream elements tosses out. Then yeah, we get a kickback on that as well if you pre-order Kirby. Kirby and the Forgotten Land. All right. You have that white one. The one that doesn't fit perfectly in the dock, you can get it in a dock, but it does bend it. But yeah, nothing wrong with the white one, by the way. But the Animal Crossing one I have, which was a limited edition, fits in my dock. Just to test a product you don't need. Yeah, I must have the launch model. They must be why it doesn't work well in the dock. Yeah, the launch model is this one. And yeah, it's not shaved down where the rails are. So then it, yeah, it was a very, very slight redesign. But that slight redesign was everything. They make it work smoothly with the dock. But yeah, so the new ones now have that redesign built in. And you'll know if you're buying the right one, because when you click on it, it will say design for both insensitivity and regular model. Keep the kicks down accessible. Interchangeable grips, ergonomic design, made of ABS plastic, slider design, hold on. And in the features, it'll let you know if this is the one that fits in the dock. Fits, switch OLED with the grip case, OLED, Neo-K. Hard shell, huge storage built-in adjustable stand. Neo-Grip body. Okay. Ooh, is this not the redesign? Maybe this isn't the redesign. Did they not, did they no longer? No, it is. It is. So it's funny. They didn't replace all the marketing. They didn't replace some of the old marketing shots. So as you scroll down the page here, I'll show you guys. I forgot that I have this set up where I can show you. I can just show you guys this. So they didn't replace some of the marketing material from the original launch of it. So if you scroll down here, so you'll see here, this looks exactly the same as this, right? It says Neo-Grip and everything. Exact same design. But watch, when you scroll down, keep the built-in kickstand accessible. Okay, look, still the same design. Okay. This is the little piece I talked about that you can remove. All right. All right. Looking good. And then look at here. You see this? And you can see it's kind of indented a little bit here as well. That's what they did. They shaved that down just a smidge for it to fit. That's it. It was just that simple. And you notice that this is the original marketing material. This is the original marketing material. And then this is an updated, one of the updated marketing materials. So that's what it looks like. They shaved that down just a smidge there, and that let it slide in with the rails and not push it in the bump. Apparently you can use two airpods. I don't know. Yeah, I've never tried hooking up airpods to it. See, this is old marketing material. So they reused some of the old marketing material. They kept some of the old marketing material. But yeah. Not really surprised. Reusing marketing materials. Pretty, pretty par for the curve. Pretty par for the course. Anyways, it is funny seeing them mix and match new marketing material with old marketing material. I would just message them and tell them, hey, because I have a direct contact with them. Hey, maybe you should update your marketing material. But not my problem, to be honest. Not my responsibility. I don't work for them. What's up? I have the Skull and Company Crystal Grip. I just keep my OLED in the dock. Just like, oh, yeah, they have another version. They have like, is that the flimsy version? Some people might prefer that. Let me see. I think they call, yeah, the grip case crystal. Yeah, that one's fully dockable as well. It's kind of like a flimsy. It's kind of like this. I don't know if this is the OLED version. But yeah, this is not the OLED version. But it's basically this. It's like a really cheap phone case style material in the middle. And that one is fully dockable. If you get the Switch OLED version, which I don't know where that Switch OLED version is, maybe they don't have it anymore. Oh, they have multiple pages now. Oh, yeah, you're confusing me now.  Too many pages of stuff. Well, I'm not seeing it. Well, either way, if they still sell it for Switch OLED, maybe it's under here, but you have to like click on different models. Those all look like the OLED. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they don't sell it anymore. I have one of those. We're giving away that one for Switch OLED during E3. We're actually giving away this one, the OG, and basically the ones I don't use anymore. I think I've got three of these grips we're going to be giving away during E3, because I don't need them. No point for me to hold onto them. They're of no use to me. So why not be nice and let people that could use them have them? Because I'm perfectly happy with what I got. I don't need to swap it. I'm not one of those people like, it's a different color day, better swap it today. No, I'm good, man. Whole point of me loving what I have is that I don't have to ever take it off. Yes, it's a clear one. Yeah, it's on the top left. I passed it. Okay, yeah. Either way, it's there. So I've got that one as well, and I'll be giving away that one during E3. Raycon headphones work with Switch. I mean, any Bluetooth headphone should work with Switch. Any Bluetooth headphone should. You know, like, I got mine here. I don't have mine hooked up right now. They're on the floor. I don't know why they were on the floor. But, you see, we got my AirPods here. My AirPods Pro, which I like for the noise cancel. I mean, they don't completely cancel out all noise, but let me tell you, when your kids are being annoying, being able to reduce their volume by 50% by putting those in my ears is sure nice. Anyways, I got these that they obviously work with Switch too. Wednesday, 3 June. Don't have a date yet. I don't suspect them to announce dates until next month. When they lock in all their partners. Yeah, when they lock in all their partners and all that. So, I like these AirPods. I gotta make sure I don't lose them. I'm gonna send them over here by my phone. All right. Man, we need to break the seal tonight. We need to break that seal. Don't worry, guys. Good old private island prime. I'll take care of it over here. I have two kinds of my own. And, yes, 50% of noise cancellation with AirPods is basically heaven. Yeah, I'm kind of glad it's not 100%. I like noise cancellation headphones, by the way. I really do, but I am legitimately happy that these ones don't completely do it because it makes me feel more comfortable where it cancels it enough. Like, if I'm gonna move more in the lawn or something else that, you know, I can still hear everything crystal clear and fine. And yet, if I'm around my kids or whatever, I can still hear what's going on around me enough. And then, obviously, you can turn it off and get a little amplification as well. Like, if I'm like, wait a second. What did my kid just say? Then I just go like this and, you know, you just pinch it and all of a sudden, oh, then I can really, really hear them. So, I like the way they work. Personal preference, of course. Everyone likes different things. And I like over-ear ones like these. These are Sennheiser 506S, I want to say. And these are super nice. I love, I am in love with these. Oh my God. And they're open back so I can still hear around me. They're not noise-canceling. But the audio quality is like, I can hear my soul. I can hear myself talk right now. And I don't know how to use the handle. I actually get annoyed by my own voice. But I sound crystal clear. I use these when I'm audio editing and doing editing for my videos. And it's nice. I can hear every little issue. Any echo, any hiss, any whatever. It's awesome. Love these things. But, you know, they're not super expensive for headphones. But they're not cheap. New retro bird just dropped. Anyone don't know, retro bird, check him out. Fantastic. Retro bird. Never heard of him. I will type it in quick. Retro bird. Retro bird. Cool. Small YouTube creator, no problem with that. Six of the best retro gaming genres. Well, it can't really push this channel too much because I have to watch it. But, you know, I'm sure the content's pretty good. He gets pretty good views. Now he posts what looks like twice a week. Well, once a week, sometimes twice a week. Gets decent views. It's a good friend. Not bad for a small YouTuber.  But, not bad. He does well for himself. I mean, he's getting about 10K views a video. Good friend, man. He has definitely found his audience. That being said, we have our first legit super channel tonight. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Thank you. And Justin Sloth. Thank you so much, buddy. That's a $5 Super Chat. Cheers. We're going to get off the double shot glass for that new double shot to rumchata.  So, I guess we'll just acknowledge that that happened and then we'll double shot it up here. Cheers, guys. First shot of the evening. Breaking that seal. We are 18 minutes away, 17 minutes now. 18, away from giving away a game from Best Buy. The games by the way that you can win are linked down in the description. They are part of the Mario 10 sale. You can get physical or digital. We actually got them to approve digital today. So, yeah, it could be physical or digital. But, well, I guess with it being digital, I guess I can open it up worldwide. Best Buy doesn't need to know, do they? Best Buy doesn't really need to know because digital codes don't work anywhere. Me? No. I do not have a private island. Nintendo Prime. Dude, I think he lives down in the Mahamas somewhere. Pretty sure he's got his own little one mile by two mile private island. He's out there right now sipping his Mai ties.  Dude, he's living the good life over there, man. I heard he's got like 10 girlfriends, enough for five for each arm. I don't even know how he holds on to them all. But, dude, that Nintendo Prime guy's out there just, he's just chilling. Dude, he's got a six pack. And I'm not talking about a beer.  He's a beast. I don't know if he doesn't eat.  He is a beast. You know, every time Nintendo Prime pops in the chat, I'm always, you know, just thinking, yeah, that's right.  I don't want to see you anymore.  Get out of here. Get out of here, Nintendo Prime. Um, wait, you're not Nintendo Prime? Did you kill? You don't even know. You don't even know, baby. Cheers from the Faroe Islands. Nice.  Dude, that guy is ripped. That's right. I stole the channel from Nintendo Prime. Shipped him off. More like he ran away and suddenly left his computer open and now I run the YouTube channel. Um, well, I don't know. It's a running gag. There's legitimate people that believe there's, there's a, there's a Nintendo Prime guy on a private island just rocking it out there, living the dream life. Um, so this is like Metal Gear Solid 5 where the other Nate is your phantom. He thinks he's the real Nate. It's what he wanted. I know since the skulls took over the mother pain. Love it. Total Metal Gear Solid 5 situation right now. Total. Total Metal Gear Solid. Um, you guys are hilarious. See, we got to give away 15 minutes. Oh, um, one of probably three giveaways tonight. Only seven left. That's right. Seven left in the member goal. And then there's a member only giveaway. This is, so the giveaway in 15 minutes is for everybody. Well, we are seven members away. We have 143, seven away. That's where you hit that little join button for as little as $3 a month. You end up supporting the channel, which by the way, most of our giveaways are essentially paid for through the membership program. So thank you to our members for interested in enabling us to get more and more and more away, including the Switch or OLED and PlayStation 5, whatever that we get away this month, totally paid for by the membership program. So thank you guys for doing that for everybody. You guys help support the channel, help support what we do, enable us to keep giving away more and more and more. Nintendo Prime versus Optimus Prime, who would win? I mean, money doesn't make you invincible, I don't think. Nintendo Prime have a prosthetic arm.  Do you guys see that story? There's this YouTuber, I forgot her name, that showed, had like a video of her like attaching or detaching her prosthetic leg.  Yeah, that's, you know, too inappropriate for YouTube. She didn't get her channel removed, but she got demonetized.  You really want to dig that whole YouTube against a handicapped person showing an educational video on attaching and detaching her prosthetic leg. You really want to go there? This kind of hits cold songs my mom has a prosthetic leg. She shattered her ankle, did multiple surgeries, never recovered, had to get it cut off, like right at the kneecap. So she's got a prosthetic leg. And like imagine that if my mom was showing how to attach and detach her prosthetic leg, would be considered inappropriate on YouTube. To me, it's just asinine. There's not a single person that watches every now and then my mom has to adjust her prosthetic leg or take it off for a moment and put it back on, even when she's in public. There's not a single person that sees that and goes, that's disgusting, that's gross. Nobody thinks that.   What goes through your mind to think that? That's what I want to know, which by the way, shout out! We got Jennifer Powers, the latest member of the board of directors. Jennifer, please hop on the elevator to rise to the top of Nintendo Prime Tower. Please keep your bags, legs, arms, body, head, every part of your person within the vehicle while it is in motion please. Don't worry Jennifer, we will get to the board room in just a moment. Feel free to dance, it's okay to dance. All right, we have made it to the top. Welcome to the tip of the top! You have entered the board room. Welcome Jennifer Powers, as the latest member of the board of directors of Nintendo Prime. How's it going? Be sure to take advantage, by the way, of all of the benefits of your membership. Not only do you get the ability to use our specialized emojis in our live streams and on all of our videos, you also can join our Discord server in getting access to member-only channels. And by the way, that's how you can actually get my friend code, friend me on Switch, and participate in all of our multiplayer live streams we do moving forward, which we got Splatoon 3 coming up this year. So it's going to be a hell of a lot of multiplayer matches happening, at least with Splatoon 3, later this year. So, welcome to the club though. I appreciate you being there. That gets us to 144. We're six away from a member's only giveaway. Man, are we going to hit a member's only giveaway right when we're going to do the big giveaway? Oh baby, let's go! Let's do the back to back! Back to back! Back to B to B! Giveaways, baby. Let's do it! I would love to go back to back tonight. Let's hit it. Let's hit it hard. Let's get to 150. I believe in you! I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I need to be really careful. About to get copyright claimed. Sorry, let me do it the magical auto-tune way. I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. I think I'm out in every night and day. I spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar. Oh baby. I know it doesn't sound exactly the same. That's why we don't get copyright claim when we use it because the auto-tune button changes up how everything sounds. Doesn't sound bad though. It just really changes it up. God, I had a special button for an R&B mix. I got to find that quick. There was a new edition on Voice Mod that gave me this really sick beat that I could legitimately do some R&B rap style to. That I was going to do if we ever got another $100 Super Chat or our next $100 Super Chat. I didn't say ever our next $100 Super Chat. But I don't remember what button it was. Let's see if I can find that beat quick. I thought it was new, but maybe it wasn't new. Pretty sure it was new though. I literally found it by accident. Is it this one? Let me listen. I know what the beat sounds like. Is it this one? Hold up. Just taking a moment. Come on, Voice Mod. Stop. Oh, oh yeah. Shit, I don't know yet. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that's the beat. That's the beat right there. Let's get that added to our little stream deck over here. So I do use a stream deck for those who don't know. So let me get that added in. We're adding that to the stream deck right now. I'm not going to forget. We're getting that in. We're popping that off. We're adding that sick beat in right now. Because, yeah, baby.  It was sick. And I'm like, dude, I got to do that in a stream sometime. We got to save that. We got to save that for a special occasion. We got to save that for a special occasion when I bust that one out. Hey, notification. Hey, Sylvester Favalla. Welcome. You have become the latest member of the board of directors. Please hop on the elevator and join me at the top of the Nintendo Prime Tower. We're done. We're at the top. Close enough. Welcome. Welcome to the board of directors. The latest member. Now five away from our member only giveaway. Then the next goal is 200. And we have a pretty big giveaway when we hit 200 members. Pretty big giveaway at 200. We might do a mini giveaway in between. Make a smaller goal. Go from like 150 to 175 and do a smaller giveaway for that. And then do the big one at 200. But yeah, baby. Five away on that. We're also six minutes away from giving away a game from Best Buy. That music is just so different. Yeah, baby. Sure is. It's not still playing, is it? No. All right. Let's see here. Nintendo Prime just shoved you off the elevator. Just a nice big ol' whoop.  Welcome to the board though. I do appreciate the support. I know some people join just for the giveaways, but seriously, I literally appreciate the support so much. You guys have no idea. If you ever want to support the podcast, by the way, we specifically have a Patreon that is for the podcast. There are some other really far-fetched stretch goals on there that we'll probably never get. But I do love the podcast. So I might as well mention it because I always forget to advertise it on the podcast. So I will drop a link right now in the chat to our Patreon if people want to go support the podcast. You can support as little as $1, even cheaper than our YouTube memberships.  Second floor, merchant and news going up. We almost hit two up. Dude, CX-24 rule. So technically, technically CX-24 rule, right before we got hacked in October, we were at 212. We peaked at 212. And I was about to do a big giveaway at my next stream. And the same day I was going to do that stream is the day we got hacked. And obviously once we got hacked, we dropped like 70.  And so we lost 70, like, got people instantly. We've been trying to bounce back ever since.  For those who don't know, we got hacked back in October. And it really sucked.    That's Smiley and Shiba though. Oh my God. What's up E-Primify? How's it going, buddy? Welcome to the stream. Mama Dragon Order 18. I wasn't expecting the giveaway, but always a treat. Why don't we have a giveaway to fulfill for Best Buy? Plus we have a potential member giveaway. If we get five more members tonight, we are five away from a members-only giveaway. What was the point in the hacking? What did they do? The point of hacking in the case of the Shiba Inu hack, which is a very popular one on YouTube, is they want to take over your YouTube channel to try to scam you into buying into cryptocurrency. And then obviously, you're not going to make any money.  That's the whole point of the scam. And what they do is they take an interview that Elon Musk did completely out of context and try to add some validity to it. And then from there, you know, try to scam people. And they use bots to push the stream to the top of YouTube's recommended, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.  And it was a big fight with YouTube to get their channel back. TJ Patch 11, welcome, you're the latest member of the board of the directors now four away. Please get on that elevator. Join me at the Tiffany Top. Oh, don't mind me. We have built-in toilets in here. Last member, Sylvester Favala had to go with number two if I got to flush my bad. I just shoved him out too quick. He didn't get a chance. TJ, use our built-in toilet, please. Man, that's a courtesy. We're in a small room. All right, we're there. All right, welcome. Welcome to the board of directors. Enjoy your time at the Tiffany Top of the Nintendo Prime Tower. All right, feel bad for those underneath the elevator. You don't even want to know. I just, I just ride the elevator right on past them. I'm not even sure who works. I mean, look at this. Look, I'm at the top of the company. We have all these levels below. And I'm not really sure what any of those people do. Just to be completely honest. I mean, it make me money, clearly. Damn. There is two, I would say there is like two staff members to Nintendo Prime that work at those lower levels. I mean, sometimes Eric's down at those lower levels. I should ask him. He's like the manager of the low levels. I'm not, I'm not sure what he even does. You farted at the same time, deadly creature. You know what? When you know, you know. Who's wishing ill on other YouTubers? Nate, remember Asian pride. I know. Is that a movement? Is it a person? Is it a YouTube channel? I don't care. Really? Is there drama? I have no idea. Is crisis remastered worth the mula? Ask somebody else. I haven't played it on Switch. So I don't know. Mojo Oryzen says, what is Eric's job? Mommy, I don't pay him. Strictly volunteer. So, I mean, I don't really know what he does, to be honest. I just kind of let him run amok. And if there's a problem that's going to cost me money, he comes to me. Comes to good old money bags over here. Not really money bags. But he's just the co-host of the podcast in actual reality. He doesn't really work for the channel.  Let the people know that Nintendo Prime cares about you.  Okay, right now, if you're not on the, if you're not on the board, I don't remember you. Now, I'm looking at those like Mojo, Mojo Oryzen, Moho Oryken. I've never seen you before about it. I don't even know who got you in the belly. That's funny. Um, roam the underneath halls. He gets paid with shots. Shots that he doesn't want to take. Eric does not like drinking. So, he doesn't mind that I do it. Nice to know Nate doesn't love his viewers. Ouch. Bang, bang.  Get ready. We got a giveaway coming your way. I'm going to set it up. We're going to try a new way of handling giveaways. Can anyone here set this up? Get a custom giveaway here. All right. All right. Let's see here. Let's do a duration. I could do a duration. Let's go. Let's go 10 minutes here. 10 minutes on the duration. Can everyone? Who can I set this to? Everyone? No, subscribers. Subscribers and moderators. Let the mods enter, of course. Let's see here. How do I change? Oh, there's an advanced tab. All right. Let me see here. How do I do this? Must be a follower to win. Yes. Maximum tickets for user one. Ticket cost is nothing. Oh, that's kind of cool. Okay. So there's that. So now what do I do? All right. Let's add that. I don't really get how this works, though. Giveaway settings. Oh, there it is. That's what we wanted to save. There we go. All right. To enter the giveaway, it's going to tell you something. It's going to say like exclamation point A, C, and H, but it's actually exclamation point giveaway. Let's see if that works. I don't even know if that's going to work, to be honest. That actually might be a conflict with a different command. We're trying to see if this giveaway things work. And let me see if it entered you or entered me. Did I enter my own giveaway, current giveaway? Why did my giveaway get added? I don't have a giveaway. There is no giveaway. Hold on. The giveaway didn't work. Is this not going to work? Custom. That hit the wrong thing. Okay. Let's set this back to 10 minutes. Why didn't it do my giveaway? 10. Okay. 10 and hour zero. Okay. Everyone. Nope. Subscribers and monitors only. Add. Profile, creative systems. I'm so confused. Oh, there it is. I have to start the giveaway. Oh, got it. Okay. We got to delete this one. Okay. We got it. We got it. We got it. We got it. Here we go. Giveaway is starting right now. Hold on. Yeah. The giveaway is starting. Hold on. There's going to be, this is the best buy one. Yep. This is the best buy giveaway for Game of Choice from the Mario 10 sale. Is it working? There we go. Win the Game of Choice from the Mario 10 sale. Moderators. Giveaway to enter the raffle. So if you did it before Streamlabs said it, you got to do it again. Yep. The entries are working. Good, good, good. Entries are working. Entries are working. Must be subscribed to enter. Entries are working. Man, Streamlabs is spamming it. Oh, because Streamlabs is letting you know. Because I can change tickets. So I can make it so non-subscribers can enter and they get one ticket. Subscribers can enter and get five tickets. Make it like a true lottery. True raffle. Sweet. This is actually working better than I thought it would. How many people are entering? Although it doesn't have that many people in. Oh, there it goes. It's catching up. It's catching up. It's slowly catching up. It says 14. I know there's more than 14 people who entered. I can see you guys spamming giveaway. It's taking a moment to update. Yeah, it just takes the... It takes the bot a little bit. It's taking the Streamlabs bot a little bit. We'll see if this works. If this one doesn't work well for us, we'll go back to Nightbot. Because Nightbot always worked. We had no issues with Nightbot. We'll give this a moment. I feel like there should be a lot more entries than Streamlabs is saying. So I don't know if this one's gonna work. Because right now it still says only 16 entries, which is massively incorrect. So we'll let this thing run its course and see if Streamlabs catches up. It's not working. It's collecting some people. It's at 17 now. So it's not like it's not working. It's just not catching everybody. It's only working for members. Is that what's happening? It's not a member's only giveaway. All these people are members. Why? Where's my settings on this? Hold on. Yeah, it's only adding members. Okay, all right. Let me go back. All right, let's redo this. I want to see if... I'm gonna see if I can fix this. So stop, guys. Stop. We're going to... This winner is not going to be the real winner. I have to pick a winner that you did not win. I have to delete this giveaway or restart it. Sorry. All right, ready, guys? Here we go. I got it. I got it. So nobody's entered. The noise room didn't win. The noise room didn't win. We're restarting the giveaway. I'm waiting for the chat to catch up where Streamlabs announces the winner, but the noise room did not win. The noise room did not win. Did not win. Snaff who? No, nobody won. Nobody won. We're redoing it so everyone can enter. All right. Let's try this again. I think I got the setting right. Here we go. Giveaway has started now. It'll pop up. Streamlabs will say, Streamlabs will announce when the giveaway starts. You guys will have to re-enter. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't want, it was not a member's only giveaway. The setting was wrong. So let's see if it works now. Thank you whoever noticed it was only doing members. Is it still only doing members? No, I'm seeing some not-members in now. I'm seeing not-members get in now. All right. Good, good, good, good, good. Oh yeah, it's up to 30 people entered. Okay, it's working. It's working. There we go. Now it's working. Yeah, because if this works, this simplifies the process. I don't mind Nightbot. Nightbot's fine. How I've been doing the giveaways is fine. This just is something that's supposed to help me simplify it. But, by the way, I think we're, what, four members away? Four members away from a member's only giveaway. You can't enter email addresses or URLs, e-primify. It will not pop up. Only moderators can do it. All right. So we've got nine minutes still to enter. 48 people have entered. 50 have entered. Nice, guys. Keep entering away. Given away, a game of choice from the Mario 10 sale. I'm gonna just say screw it and open it worldwide. However, if you win outside of the US, even in Canada, you can only get a digital copy. I know that, like, we had someone from Canada when last time I couldn't get it. That was because Best Buy told me it had to be physical copies only, which they were not willing to ship outside of the US. But I negotiated with them today, and they are letting me do a digital tonight. So that lets me give it away to anybody, not just, you know, in the US, because I can give a digital code to anybody. So that's just kind of how the cookie crumbled, you know, because I obviously felt bad that some people won who couldn't get it. So I talked to Best Buy to try to sweeten the deal for this last one. We're also gonna be giving away a bonus game at the end of the stream. So this game is being paid for out of my pocket, the last one, but still. It'll be open to anybody. That's at the end of the stream. We are not ending the stream anytime soon anyways. 52 people have entered. All right, Nate, I'm sorry for all the money you have to throw at YouTube to make money. Let me clear, like, I don't have to throw any money at YouTube. Besides, you know, making sure I have a microphone and a camera. Heck, I technically don't even need a camera. You can just do voiceover gameplay, which is what I was doing back in 2017. You don't need to do what I do to make money. So like, when I do, I'm gonna take my, I got some dude little sandal slip on top, taking a while, when I do giveaways, that's not about me making money. The giveaways are just about me trying to give back to the community, me just trying to, trying to put back out, because I feel so grateful for what I get. You know, we're at 100 and, what, 46 members right now. Okay, now not all those members are on the lowest tier. Some are on the higher, some are actually at the $50 tier, which is insane. But, you know, if you just go off the base tier, that everyone's at least a $3 member, that's $438 per month. Just off that base tier. YouTube takes a little cut of that, but it's a really tiny cut compared to all the other revenue streams. The membership streams are actually the one they take the smallest cut from. So it's really interesting when I consider that that's just people being kind and wanting to be members. Yeah, maybe they get some extra giveaways here and there, but that's $438. I get to put right back into the community. Last year I put every penny the channel made back into giveaways or equipment. There was not a single cent. I made $0 last year as I discovered when I filed my taxes. The YouTube channel made me nothing last year. All $24,000 the channel made last year went back to you guys or back to equipment. Full reinvestment back into YouTube. So did I have to do that? No. I do what I do because besides the giving back to you guys, like why do I build these sets? Why do we invest? I mean, I think between Yuli and I, I think we put about five or six grand into the studio renovation. And then on top of that, we want to get a new camera. That's going to cost like three grand. And I don't know when the hell we can afford that. So like we don't need to do any of that. The reason that we do is because I have a vision for what I want my YouTube content to be. And that vision is expensive. And that vision is reaching beyond what I should even be thinking about, right? I shouldn't be thinking about doing what I'm doing in my YouTube channel until we're at 300, 400,000 subscribers. Then like, okay, let's build out and do it different. No, I want to do it different now. I want to take my fortunate ability to invest now and do it different now and do it the way that I want to do it and suffer some of the learning pains of that. The last podcast suffered because of the new set and the new way we're doing things. But it's going to be better in the long haul. So yeah, there's a short-term learning curve, a short-term suffering that leads to a long-term gain, in my opinion. And that gain, bare minimum, is just me creating content the way I want to create it. So I don't have to review it as well as me or feel bad that I put all this money in the YouTube. I choose to do that. I don't have to. I could just sit on it and just keep the money. No sweat off my back. No one's really going to care. That's what they expect you to do. You put in the work, you make the content, keep the money. But that's just not how I operate. Yeah, I'd like to do YouTube full-time someday, of course. And you know, I would say money would have to be about double what it was last year before I could even contemplate doing that. But I'm in a good place and I'm happy. And I really like making YouTube content. So I'm going to continue to make it. And part of the reason that I like doing it is that I get to do it different. Even this stream set up is different for me. Everything's different. I like doing things different. So I'm really happy with how things have turned out. Let's see here. Man, we're four members away. I can't believe it. Yeah, four? Yeah, four members away. So I had to look up because this monitor is not as bright as the rest. So I couldn't read the member goal for a moment. VSD, Valve Steam Deck. Yeah, VSD means Valve Steam Deck. So David Ajil, I can't think of a couple of ways it's not superior. Now you could argue that these ways are ancillary and who cares? That's fine. But there are a few things that factually the switch does that the Valve Steam Deck doesn't do. Physical media. You can buy a physical copy of a game, stick it in your switch, trade it in, sell it off. You can't do that on Steam Deck. Got to use the Steam Store or obviously install Windows. Either way, it's all digital. It's an all digital platform. Which is fine because that's basically what PC has become. But that is something Switch has that Valve Steam Deck doesn't. And this isn't me trying to say, oh, that makes it switch superior. I don't think you should ever argue what system is superior because they're different. They're different systems targeted at different audiences. But Switch also has the ability to literally detach two controllers and have instant multiplayer right there. You don't need to buy extra accessories or extra controllers. It also comes with the dock to dock with your TV. Whereas that doesn't happen with Valve Steam Deck. You got to use a dongle. So there's different advantages that it has in just some clever ways. Now that doesn't mean the Valve Steam Deck is not a better system. Like your gaming experience is probably better on Valve Steam Deck overall. That's not even a debate. But it's a different system targeted in a different audience.

Why do you care if something's superior or not? Like, fundamentally ask yourself that question. Like, Valsteinbeck's great. Barely anybody owns one, but it's pretty great. Cheers.  Oh! Cough, cough, cough. Say hi to Jay! Don't name- Did I not beat with sick?  Now it wasn't a hundred dollars super chat, but I don't care. I've been waiting multiple streams. Multiple streams to drop that button. I couldn't wait anymore. So I guess we'll make it the fifty dollar or enough one. That'll be the fifty dollar or enough- The party mode this fifty dollar or enough. You get that custom track drop. Alright, so thank you so much to J.Lo, obviously. And Slavik! We don't actually do shots for anything under five dollars right now, because usually I have like a beer that I can do a shot of, but I don't right now, so. But I do appreciate the support. That was fire, yeah dude. All the fifty dollars and up now are gonna get that custom track for a while. Maybe we'll eventually find some other ones that I can pop off in there, so we have multiple custom tracks. But yeah, baby. I missed that.  Custom track, clip it! Steam Deck is like six switches stacked thickness-wise. I don't know about that. It's a little bit extreme. But I mean, it's a thick boy. Alright, cheers! So David to G.Lo. By the way, hi, how's it going, buddy? Thanks for popping on the stream. I appreciate your opinions. I really do. I wanted to be known. I do appreciate your opinion. But I will say this. What do you hope to achieve popping on a Nintendo channel's live stream to basically just down talk and bad talk the Switch, which arguably has one of the best lineups of the year just because you prefer Steam Deck? Which by the way, Steam Deck's great. I'm not knocking Steam Deck. I think PlayStation 5 and Xbox is great as well. Hell, my gaming PC is more powerful than all of them. Love it, 49-inch ultra-wide, 1440p, 360 hertz. You know, powering that plus two 4K monitors dominating the gaming spectrum. 32 gigs of RAM up in here. You know, 60 plus gigabytes of VRAM on my beast. Don't mess with me. But here's the thing. It doesn't change that I still enjoy gaming on my Switch. It doesn't change the fact that I was just playing Triangle Strategy on this bad boy yesterday. No problem, no complaints. Like, yeah, that was Steam Deck's great. It's not available. It's harder to purchase unless you want to buy it secondhand for $1,200 to $2,000. By the way, that's for the $400 version of it. That's how bad it's being sculpted in the moment. Its availability is really, really low. If you do get on the pre-order list, you'll be waiting many, many months, maybe even into 2023 to get your hands on it. It is a very interesting platform. And they did just add a Windows Update, by the way. They added Windows Update driver support, so now people can freely install Windows. No problem. There won't be any issues. You don't have to customize any hardware. They literally have the support right there locally on the system now, thanks to a system update. That's great.  I know what's going on in the gaming sphere. No problem with Valve Steam Deck, but it just doesn't really replace anything. Switching out here, trying to be a portable PC. Switching out here, trying to be a portable PC. If it helps you, and I've said this to some people who right now want to argue Nintendo's so far behind, consider this a 3DS successor and then ask yourself, does that really feel that far behind when you consider that this is a handheld that's succeeding the 3DS? Oh, the Valve Steam Deck exists. You're right. It does. It does exist. But it's a portable PC. It's competing with laptops and PCs. It's not this. There's no physical way to play games on the system. It doesn't come with everything you need to hook it up to a TV. You need accessories. It's meant to be a standalone portable PC. And that's fine. That's awesome. That's great. And in two years, the hardware, and it's not going to matter anymore in the PC gaming space, and they're going to have to have a Valve Steam Deck 2, which they probably will have. I hope. Valve has a really bad track record with hardware, they bust out, you know, a Valve Steam Deck at least every two years, a new one. But then, that makes the question, they can't get enough of the Valve Steam Deck made right now, and by the time they do, they'll need another one. And then by the time they catch up with that, they'll need another one. Another one. They're already starting behind and I worry about that. This is an issue I have with Valve, by the way, not the Steam Deck. Valve has a really bad history with hardware. I haven't seen anything that makes me not keep the same concerns. Now, the hardware might be great this time around, but it's availability isn't. It's the least available platform in the world. The Aya Neo is more readily able to be bought right now. So, love the Valve Steam Deck. It's great. Let me know when I can walk into a store and buy one. Oh, you can't! You're right. You can only buy it from Valve. Okay, let me know when I can log on online, pop down $400 today and that's in my hands in a couple days. When it gets to that point, we'll talk about Valve Steam Deck competing with Switch. Because I agree with you. Valve Steam Deck is amazing and it destroys Switch in many ways. But you can't call people delusional for really enjoying a platform that you can go on Amazon.com right now and order and get it in two days. I know, because I just gave one away last week and literally I went on Amazon no problem, bought one and shipped it off to him. He got it in two days. I can't do that with Valve Steam Deck. I can't even buy one for myself and have it here in two days. I have to put down a pre-order not knowing when I'm actually going to get the system. It's just not it's not under a readily available platform. So it's great for what it is. But until it's readily available it's almost like it doesn't exist.  Right now Valve Steam Deck is a considerably niche product. Like it doesn't even it might not even be the best-selling handheld PC because it's just not available. So it's got to worry about passing up its own handheld PC competitors and sales before it worries about anything else. Because right now until it's readily available I don't want to hear any it's so much rather than switch. People are delusional. How? By the time it's readily available there'll be a new switch. So and that new switch might be more powerful than what the Steam Deck is today. So it's one of those great ideas but it's Valve and because it's Valve I'm not very good with given supply. Technology determines when the market shifts. It's not supply and demand determines when the market shifts. Supply and demand determines market shifts. That's always been the case. It's always been the case. Just so you're aware. Technology has already significantly passed Valve Steam Deck. So is Valve Steam Deck old now? I'm asking you. You said technology determines next generation. Well guess what? Technology has already passed the Steam Deck. Steam Deck is old now. The technology inside the Steam Deck is not new anymore. It's now last gen. So it's now last generation. See this is why that doesn't work. The market shifts when the market shifts and the problem obviously with talking about the Steam Deck in comparison to home consoles of course is that the Steam Deck is a PC and working in a completely different marketplace. Literally it's working with Steam. It is a PC through and through. You can install Windows on it now. It is a PC that you can hold in your hand. Unfortunately that's not the same as a home console. That's not the same as the Switch. It is its own type of device serving a market that already exists giving them a new way to play. Jonathan Hernandez! Thank you so much Jonathan Hernandez. Switch and Steam Deck are great. That's all that matters. That's right. Cause here's what I do. I know what defines the generation. It's the market. Exactly. I'm going to ask you David and Jill. And again we've had this debate before with many other people over what generation does Switch go on. I don't know. I'm not here to tell you that. But I am here to tell you this. If the market is what determines what matters and when the next generation starts guess what was the number one selling platform in the United States in February. Wasn't Steam Deck. Wasn't even the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox. I'm holding it right here. It determines generations why is this the number one selling device just last month.  Right now. Today. We're not talking about last year. We're not talking about 2020. Today the Switch leads in the United States. The number one video game market in the world in unit sales for 2022. We're talking right now this is still the number one selling platform. Today. At the exact moment we're talking we're speaking right now this is the number one selling market the number one selling system in the number one selling video game market in the world. Just let it sink in for a moment. Let that just ruminate for a second. The market is telling you Switch matters. You might not want it to matter. You might want Nintendo to move on. You might want more powerful hardware. You might think Switch is holding the industry back. That's fine. Those are all valid opinions. But the market is telling you we're good. Thanks for the switch. I'm glad to own it. Nintendo Switch Sports is going to sell awesome. Pokemon Legends Arceus are probably already over 10 million sales. Like the market is telling you Nintendo doesn't have to move on. The market will determine when it's time to move on. The market is telling Nintendo keep making them baby. Keep making them. We want more. We want more. That's what Nintendo is getting right now. They're hearing the market saying don't move on. We're still buying this thing. We're buying this more than any other platform. Now you could argue supply and demand. There's not enough supply of the other platform that there was enough supply of PlayStation 5. It wouldn't be the number one seller. Fine. But if demand was dropping for Switch it would fall behind the PlayStation 5 anyways all the time. Except it doesn't. The market still wants to buy Switch. So at the end of the day, this is what I hate about this and I know we've got another super child.  By the way, David, I'm not saying your opinions don't matter. They clearly matter and they're very important, especially to yourself. No one's opinions matter more than your own to yourself. All of us have our own opinions on everything in the video game market and the people those opinions matter to the most themselves. My issue obviously is when you start saying Nintendo Switch fans are delusional.  Ask yourself this. What's more delusional? Buying a platform and just enjoying gaming on it or popping on a Nintendo channel to bad talk a platform because you don't think it's any good.  You came into the stream out of nowhere and decided you know what? I want to bad mouth the Switch. Sure, you can be factually correct that yes, the Valve Steam Deck is more powerful. PlayStation 5 is more powerful. PC hardware is more powerful. You're not wrong. But that doesn't make the Switch irrelevant. You just wish it wasn't relevant anymore. You came in here acting hostile towards Nintendo fans for enjoying a Nintendo platform. To what purpose? What are you hoping to achieve? What is the outcome you want to get from this interaction? Nintendo fans admitting that you're right? Admitting that the system they've been enjoying over the last 5 years is no longer enjoyable to them when that's not the case, when that's not true when they're still enjoying it when they're just fine the way it is what has the video game market taught us over the last 40 years that power doesn't drive the market that mass consumerism doesn't care about power and visuals the way that certain gamers wish they did the entire premise of console wars boils down to a very select minority of people being really vocally loud trying to tell people what they shouldn't be enjoying and what they shouldn't be enjoying which is what you did by coming into this chat today when reality is it's just fine that switch owners are fine with the switch it's just fine that you love the valve steam deck there's nothing wrong with it the world exists right now where both platforms exist and everyone can get what they want there's not really a reason to put down one like I have not said one insulting thing about valve steam deck this whole time because I have nothing bad to say it's a great platform it's not readily available that's my only major criticism it's not readily available I can't just buy one and own it tomorrow can't walk into Walmart I can't watch a live stream for a drop that's about to happen that maybe I could fight with millions of others to get no I could pre-order one and get it at some unknown date in the future that I'll magically have to have the money ready for at that exact time because I don't want to give them money now to not know when I'm getting the thing I spent $400 on oh so it's only $5 you're right and then magically in October they'll send me an email a week before they're going to ship it oh by the way you owe us $395 plus tax so I can ship you your valve steam deck without any warning there wasn't a month lead up there wasn't a 2 month lead up being like oh yeah by the way make sure you have your money ready for your steam deck it's going to be available in 2 months no people get the emails a week before they ship and you can say oh just have the money set aside let's say I had it set aside but then my car had a problem so I had to take that money and fix my car you know it's what's the point the world exists in the moment where people that are playing valve steam deck are happy with steam deck people playing PlayStation are happy with PlayStation Xbox have it Xbox PC gamers are always happy with PC gaming and people who buy Switch are happy with Switch for the most part so why do we have to push narratives that create battles and wars and arguments that we don't need to be happy why can't we just enjoy the things we want to enjoy why do we have to shit on others for enjoying something that we wish was different of course I'd like a more powerful Switch I would be there day one they could release a $500 and $600 Switch tomorrow and I'd be there to pick it up but that doesn't mean I'm dissatisfied with my current Switch love it heck it has a better screen than the steam deck the colors pop more does that really matter I don't know matters to different people there's advantages and disadvantages of every system I've been saying that this entire generation for console wars I've been saying it matters that every system has its strength and weaknesses and what the beauty of this video game industry is including mobile phones is that there's a platform for everybody every person on this world has something they can play a video game on that's for them maybe it's just their phone maybe it's logging on Facebook and still playing the old school Facebook games you know threw up a laptop or a tablet maybe it's the Switch maybe it's the steam deck maybe it's a gaming laptop or gaming PC with a 49 inch ultra wide like I got maybe it's not that maybe it's someone who likes to play with a 6 monitor setup doing awesome racing sims racing pedals in the wheel and all that and they like to get super in depth that way maybe it's people playing PlayStation 5 or getting into VR with the Oculus or the PlayStation VR 2 that's going to be coming out here at some point this year or maybe it's someone who gets an Xbox Series X and just said screw it I'm going to get Game Pass because with Game Pass I don't feel like I'm going to have to buy any games anymore there's so many games I can play I'm going to be completely satisfied not to spend any more money besides the subscription fee fine there's something for everybody that's the beauty of the video game world we live in I don't think there's a reason that we need to trash talk any platform for not being what we want it to be when I guarantee you the platforms that you want already exist now one argument I've heard from Valestine because it emulates switch games it does not well but it does okay and enjoy your emulation I won't stop in you enjoy your access to everything through Gamecube readily easily available congrats enjoy it what does that have to do with my enjoyment of my platform nothing that has to do with your enjoyment of your preferred platform so that's just the way I sit on this stuff alright it switches gen 9 when is it getting Elden Ring at high settings in a large 30 fps hey it plays h5 gen 9 when is it getting Breath of the Wild 2 let me know when it's getting Breath of the Wild leaving how about Kirby PlayStation 5 getting Kirby see this is the dumb thing you want to play that game we can all play that game we can all play that game who cares Nintendo hasn't gotten all third party games since the SNES think about that it's been since the beginning of the 1990s since Nintendo's gotten all third party games wasn't always due to power but Nintendo doesn't get all third party games they haven't for over 25 years so why are we still talking about it not since the SNES days as Nintendo gotten everything so I don't know why that suddenly matters now how's Elden Ring running on your Steam Deck by the way I know how it runs on my PC like shit let me know how it's running on your Steam Deck I'm assuming you have one since you're talking so glowingly about it awesome congrats let me know how Elden Ring's running on it for me even running that well on 3090s now that's an optimization issue but anyways let me get to some stuff here I gotta get to some other people here Eric Weinstein yeah

moderators greatly you just found me recently really wow well welcome I hope you enjoyed my channel my content my live streams I try my best podcast was a little rough this week because we had a bunch of audio issues but when we did have it working well I think the conversation was good it was a pretty good product from what I was able to glean from the about 45 minutes of usable audio we got we had player essence on it was a good time could have been a lot better but that's the growing pains of a new studio and dealing with new audio equipment it's there's always growing pains and anyone who works with professional great audio equipment knows that audio issues are just a bitch and everything can be working up until right when you absolutely needed to all the testing everything is perfect then you hit the live button and next thing you know it all goes to shit it just shits the bed just I swear you know happens often than I wish it did but hopefully it won't be an issue next week because Eric won't be there so it's going to be me and a guest for the next two weeks because he's going to be gone for the next two weeks you guys aren't going to see Eric for a while he's just got a lot going for work he's traveling won't even be in town probably barely will even talk to the guy because usually when he's out of town he's just that busy with work well I just realized we are two cents away from on God we're two cents away from me having to do a Don Julio oh boy Eric I didn't do your uh did I do your Goldschlager Eric I don't know if I did your Goldschlager let me know I

legitimately people who uh think that all my giveaways are about driving subscribers and getting growth um and caring about um just caring in general about making the channel bigger because I require you guys to be subscribed uh I did something today on Twitter that some of you guys might know about already um and it kind of defeats that narrative um because I didn't even say you needed to follow me on Twitter I gave away um $40 to two different people it was only supposed to be one person but basically I I put out a tweet uh that said the following scroll on it's not that far away um I'm going to give $40 to someone who could really use it today maybe you need some gas dinner money bills just respond with your cash or Venmo and what you need it for and I'll choose one of you to help you out today didn't say you had to follow didn't say you had uh retweet like comment go subscribe to my youtube channel just reply to my thing and give me the info to give you the money and tell me what you need it for and I'll choose someone so originally I chose someone um sent it through Venmo to Samantha Sweet I think she was actually here earlier in the stream um she she put out that you know she coaches color guard in high school and I'd love to buy more equipment for winter color guard and marching band season um and I know what it's like want to support music programs lost out um $40 and that was it that was the person I chose but of course I kept reading as more and more people were responding and I decided that I was going to send out another $40 um and I sent it to um a guy named Deontay Hancock um he responded saying I would definitely use it for gas to get to work the next few days and if there happens to be any leftover it's going to go to my past two bills and I just you know there was I mean I wish I had enough money to everyone who responded I could have gave $40 to um you know I'm not Richie Rich over here uh but I just like helping people like it really bothers me when people say it's all it's all about oh you're just driving subs you're driving this you're driving I'm like I'm just I legitimately just care about people like if people don't know about the Twitter drama that happened between me and Bob Wolf this week it's like the worst part about it was watching how angry people got at me at each other at Bob and it's like it's like the opposite vibe I want to give like I want to give a vibe of positivity and have interactions make you feel better like have you feel better for having interacted with me or interacted with my community um so I don't know just something I wanted to bring up because I really hate the narrative the giveaways at times it really bothers me um anyways cheers I know I'm also dragging the silence I really don't want to do the tequila but we'll do the tequila we also had a quick super chat coming from Brian C um give you a little bit of this have another see you today thank you so much Brian C says thanks love everything you do for everyone thanks man um alright let me um let me get this shot out of the way man I'm gonna get caught up on my shots here quick because I got three in a row I gotta do quick now four about the ones around Chata that are really clear the wrong child I'm really glad it's coming after the tequila because I hate tequila let me get this gold sugar done quick a bit of that went down the wrong hole now comes the I know I'm gonna end up smelling this because I do it every time I hate tequila dang it I was hoping that was gonna empty the jar but there's still like at least two shots in here I just want to get rid of this Don Julio alright um let me read the chat a bit before I do this one let that uh let that gold sugar settle for one again we got one more game giveaway we'll be giving away at 11 30 p.m. central time so that is 36 minutes for now for those that don't want to convert time zones um am I planning to add some new music for super chats so right now I've got three tracks for super chats but in case you missed it in case you missed it J.Lo popped a $50 one off today okay I dropped a brand new track and performed a new hit single customized for J.Lo that's right I had a little r&b rap going on custom rap for J.Lo with a brand new beat never heard before this live stream and now all $50 and up super chats are going to get that custom beat but we drop in some sick off the top of my head lyrics for them so to answer your question yes but it's at the higher tiers um well I eventually add a new lower tier party song yeah eventually eventually we'll get a new lower tier one in but um how do you enter the giveaway we don't have it the giveaway is not going on right now it'll happen live in 35 minutes well the giveaway is not happening at this exact moment happens in 35 minutes and then there'll be a thing that pops up in the chat that tells you how to enter um does Wisconsin and my province have the same time zones I have no idea we're central time zone I don't know what your province has in Canada I don't know what province are you directly above like Wisconsin Minnesota what is if there's that Ontario I forget what one's directly above Wisconsin okay David I'm just going to ask you once to drop it one I know you're frustrating people in the chat two you're just spitting incorrect things that you want to be true um it's okay to argue Val steam deck plays games better than the switch that's fine you want to make that argument it's fine it actually doesn't emulate switch games better than the switch plays them but that's neither here nor there after some optimization with the with the emulators that might be true someday what the point is when you say Nintendo needs to drop a next gen switch this year next is gen 9 and I will leave switch behind I'll remind you again the best selling platform in 2022 is the Nintendo switch right now the switch is leaving gen 9 behind Nintendo will replace it when gen 9 starts to outsell the switch so if you don't want to include switch in gen 9 that's fine but when playstation 5 valve steam deck and xbox actually outsell switch consistently that's when it's time to replace it again we talked about this before the market determines when it's time to get a new system and the market is determining the switch is the best selling platform in 2022 and it doesn't really look like that's going to change you might argue they need to drop a new system in 2022 that's a personal desire that's not because the market is actually saying that chances are switch is going to be the number one selling platform this year for the one of the fourth consecutive year so right now switches actually still at its peak usually you don't release systems when you're still peaking you release it once it starts that downturn 2023 maybe that's the year maybe that's the year they drop a new system I have no idea I don't know what Nintendo is going to do we don't work there but factually the market is saying the switch is fine you just want a new switch and that's fine I want a new switch too but I'm also cool with the way switch is now I got so many games to play this year that I had so much fun with Legends Arceus and you can look at Legends Arceus and talk about how shit Legends Arceus is oh look it looks like shit looks like it doesn't change how much fucking fun I have with that game god damn that game was fun Legends Arceus was a blast it's my favorite Pokemon game of all time for a reason that game was so damn fun and I was on switch this year so I don't know I guess I'm kind of cool you know power doesn't really make me enjoy games more the games make me enjoy the games I love pretty visuals all the ring doesn't look as good as Horizon Forbidden West yet it's considered by most to be the better game at the end of the day it's all about that gameplay baby it's all about that gameplay alright let's get this oh my god I smelled it why Nate okay I didn't smell any other shot I took tonight until the tequila and then I just subconsciously took a whiff and I hate tequila oh that's horrendous I think we have a rum chada next right Brian C's rum chada I get oh my god mmm that is not sitting well I hate tequila okay it's a little better thank you Brian C that water I forgot that water doesn't do shit for tequila oh rum chada that does the trick alright Albert and Stella let's uh oh come on hat flip hey would anyone that would like to get a Nintendo Prime hat I don't advertise it very often I don't even have it linked in the description I don't think let me know if you want nobody you can get some Nintendo Prime merch that isn't linked in the description we do have a merch store yeah Brian C you never won well I'm really glad you won finally Brian I know you've entered like a billion giveaways why do you drink tequila if you hate it so much so there's a reason okay so tequila is like a punishment shot so if we ever get a hundred dollar super chat so like the big one hundo or if we cross a hundred dollar super chat now I won't do another one the rest of the night unless we get a hundred dollar super chat super chat tonight that leads to me doing one of them is kind of a okay the community collectively got to the shot that makes my me want to hurl um it's more for your entertainment of how gross it is hey for me I fucking hate tequila fucking hate it but rum chada is whatever it's pretty pure see this this is the shot that really breaks my diet it's fucking like pure sugar so many fucking calories in it but what happens after I have a night where I where I do a number of shots is I I work out in the morning I try to burn off most of the booze calories from the night before don't always get all of them off but I try and I'm on a keto diet now you can argue this booze is not a keto friendly thing but um having talked to a few people I can I can at the weight I am especially I'm basically only eating like nine hundred and sixty calories a day right now so these might give me at the extra calories but I'm working out to compensate for the booze calories so my weight loss is actually going extremely well right now um there might be a point obviously where there might be a month that I just go completely dry um and that's probably what I'm closer to my target weight so I'm trying to get down to like the one sixty range so once I'm at like one eighty there might be a point where I go okay we're going dry this month just is what it is um because I really want to hit that target weight and then once I hit my target weight then then we worry about what do I want to do from there do I want to maintain you know what do I got to do to maintain etc etc etc so uh we'll worry about that when we get there um but for right now until we get unless I flat toe before then and I get to a point where okay I'm on this keto diet I'm working out I'm still having my drinks and I'm not losing weight anymore then it's at the point that okay it's time to cut out the booze but I think that based on the people and nutritionist nutritionist I've talked to that's probably not going to happen to like it down to one eighty and we got a bit we got a bit to go there so what's the email address for the giveaway Brian C said it bounce it's Nathan at nintendoprime.net Brian you don't know that Nathan I guarantee the email works I just paid the bill on it like three days ago yeah the emails up I know because the nintendo prime super chat email is there for me that happened during the stream Nathan at nintendoprime.net did you dot com it used to be dot com like five years ago but it's been dot net for a while um if people want the that merch store here so we got different shirts we got um water bottles we got towels hats even sports bras which Yulia really likes the sports bra she initially oh I don't like it now she just wears it all the time um we got bat pack we got uh podcast merch here that that link I just dropped right now is the merch store that is no longer linked in the description and that's where you can get this sick hat pretty much everything we've sold from this merch store has been hats people go here like I just want the hat man I just want that hat and there's different color versions of it too that I don't even have that I need to order um but I have to pay a full price too sucks but that's the way the Coge Chrome was I do make a smidge when you guys buy it I make a smidge of money when I buy it I make nothing um the things that make the most profit on are probably the sweatshirts are probably the highest it's all percentage based anyways um we have a Alberta and Stella give you a so you did $10 Canadian which um your 10 so my shot charts based on USD so that's actually just gonna be another rum chata um but I do thank you Alberta and Stella I know you also became a member tonight I came over two members away from a member only giveaway I know I keep bringing it up but I don't think people realize like it's going to be a pretty decent giveaway you know not like the biggest giveaway I've done obviously we just gave away a fucking Switchola last week on live stream just oh hey let's give away a Switchola tonight yeah even though we're giving away one already this one so it'll be two this month unless they pick PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X which is totally fine I thought about putting valve steam deck as an option before I realized how impossible it is to get a valve steam deck so um what do you what do you put in the email you were giving bad info oh oh were you trying giveaway at Nintendo Prime yeah no I mentioned earlier in the stream that next week I'm setting up a new email for giveaways so I could separate them out from my business contacts and stuff um especially as I'm organizing for E3 I really need to separate up the giveaways one thing that happens with the giveaways that sometimes makes them take forever is that the giveaway emails get buried like my my main email account probably has 20 30 companies reaching out a day um and so it emails get buried so fast and when they're buried I don't I'd like to say that I keep really good track of them I don't um so having a separate email just for giveaways is really gonna help me stay more organized especially for E3 when we're giving away hundreds and hundreds of things I need to I need to have a giveaway on the email so um we'll have that and then I'm also gonna be opening up a news tip uh slash um leaks or whatever like basically a tip email if you want to send me tips to try to make videos on um I might have a separate email for that as well because I do get some of that in my main email and uh it's fine but basically I'm gonna list my public emails as Nathan at nintendoprime.net it's gonna be for business inquiries only if you want to submit news anything else it'll be the tips at nintendoprime.net email if you win a giveaway use the giveaway at nintendoprime.net email but that's that's a long ways away what is E3 so E3 otherwise known as the electronic entertainment expo is a place where video game companies come together and announce a bunch of games show off a bunch of trailers and when it's in person we and many others travel to Los Angeles in person to demo a bunch of video games from Nintendo, Microsoft Ubisoft and many others unfortunately it hasn't been in person obviously since 2019 so E3 this year will be digital only which means we're just gonna get the trailers and stuff like that Nintendo participates every year um last year's digital E3 wasn't very good but Nintendo did good Nintendo like has a Nintendo Direct if you know what Nintendo Direct is it's like a bunch of those from different companies within a very short time period at least that's what the digital event is except some people are really bad at doing them like Gearbox Gearbox should not have been an E3 just Verizon 5G look you can sponsor you don't need an hour and a half segment of E3 nobody cares about all your marketing speak without action all that speak about Verizon 5G makes gaming so much better never wants actually showing how much better it is like look it's like say fiber internet makes online gameplay better it does now show it if you don't show it then what the fuck are we talking about I bet you 5G didn't even work in that building that one doesn't surprise me anyways cheers seriously won't even surprise me if it didn't work it's alright if you're older I don't know I'm 35 so I'm not like young and hip you know I'm not super old but I'm 35 I turned 36 this year it's crazy to think man shortly after E3 I turned 36 I have three kids all of them school age one of them is going to be middle school next year next school year I'm usually one of the older people here but we have we have fans of all ages we have fans that are obviously kids which I don't really care about that and we have fans that are 70, 80 I've seen literally all age groups at my channel my channel is primarily followed by people over the age of 18 so it's kind of cool that most of my audience is a lead towards mid 20s to about 50 that seems to be the range and you know you mentioned that you have a kid my age that's cool that's totally cool I don't know how old that makes you I have no idea my kids my parents had me at 18 so my mom did so if you add 18 years to my age that's all my mom is so are my kids step kids or biological I'll say this e-primify doesn't matter I'm not gonna say what's the difference we know what the difference is but what's the difference to me ask me if I care what the difference is but as people know my daughter is I'm her stepfather to my daughter but we don't use the word stepfather because I've been raising her since she was 3 I don't know I'm sorry I've been raising her since she was 9 months old her biological dad didn't get involved in her life until she was 5 6 something like that so I'm her dad he's the other dad he only sees her every other weekend and for like 6 hours randomly during the week I'm the one that's full time raising her so there's no difference to me she's my daughter not a stepdaughter she's my daughter we also have two biological sons together Aidan and Oliver all of them are as much my kids as any of them I don't love them any of them any different I don't raise them any different I mean I shouldn't say I don't raise them any different you have to tailor your parenting to the personality of the child but that's what every parents should do that's when kids are like it's not fair it's not about being fair it's about recognizing the differences in the kids and having to tailor how you parent to them it's something you learn when you have a bunch of kids but yeah no I've got three kids probably a proud parent one of them is not biologically mine don't get too shit she's as much my kid so I was okay to be curious it's fine I've talked about this before it's not something that I keep hidden like it's funny because we did a couple of videos in the past called Prime Family which we don't do anymore because YouTube frowns upon kids being on YouTube but we had some Prime Family videos and there was multiple comments so people in the chat no offense man but your daughter doesn't look like she's your kid I don't know if you know this but Yulia must have cheated on you because your daughter doesn't look anything like you like why is that the assumption why do people just jump to oh yeah your your your fiance your future wife that you have biological kids with yeah she cheated on you just so you're aware your oldest kids not yours she cheated on you what the fuck shut up man yeah I know who the biological dad is because they had a relationship before we met anyways yeah dude blood doesn't mean shit when it comes to parenting I love all my kids to say man knowing that little girl since she was a baby I'm prime am I part of the Prime Family everyone's part of the Prime Family if you're a subscriber you're part of the Prime Family if you subscribe to the channel you're part of the Prime Family if you become a member you're part of the elite the elite of the elite and if you're somehow a member and a patreon backer I mean oh my god you are now like god tier but uh yeah no I don't really look at our members as necessarily any different than anybody else I try to give them special perks and all that obviously the member only giveaways because they're literally plopping down real world money to support when I do this so speaking of that we're two members away from a member only give away 16 minutes away from giving away another game tonight people always assume the worst it's so dumb why do we automatically my oldest kid doesn't look at my do you think I hate let's say that I thought at first that it was my biological kid do you not think in all the years that we've been together with two other children that clearly do resemble me that I went and noticed that melody wasn't my kid and why the hell is it anybody's business just because my kids appeared on the video it's so dumb people just like to I think people like to search for some way to ruin someone's day like this is one thing I totally don't get the internet sometimes I really don't but there seems to be this pleasure that some people get by trying to hurt others and I still don't get it because I've never gotten pleasure from hurting others but some people do and I've been trying to understand this over the years like even with that Bob Wolf situation this week when I put out that tweet for those that aren't aware I basically made a joke tweet about oh it's been 9000 years why don't you come on your podcast and you know if you if you don't come on I'm gonna kick your dog and it was like taken as as I'm a dog abuser I'm an animal abuser when the kick your dog was a reference to a stupid prank call from like the early 2000 actually I think it happened in like 99 and then became a thing on YouTube and other things as it went on but anyways the point was that it was a reference to something from when I was a kid growing up some meme when I was a kid and it makes you realize I'm older now some people don't get the reference and even if they do some people that got the reference are like oh it doesn't matter even though I knew what you were saying why would you threaten someone I'm like if you knew what I was doing then you know it wasn't a threat you know but like people take it that way because they just want to be angry they want to be pissed they want to find something to be mad at so they'll latch on to anything that's even slightly potentially controversial even if you know the context and know it's not actually controversial you still want to be angry anyways because you want to find a way to let out these emotions that are probably anger from other parts of your life and a lot of people are this way so they put people down they say mean things and what talks about that of course is that while they're doing this they're not really considering considering how that affects another person like me being called an animal abuser you know 80 plus times this week it's a little bit grating it doesn't matter that I'm not an animal abuser that I have my own dog that I've volunteered at animal shelters that I've never once laid a hand on an animal doesn't matter because when you keep getting told over and over again you're an animal abuser over a joke it's like okay the joke didn't land but let's back off a little bit here I like come on now come on can we be free thinkers can we not like latch on to something and make baseless assumptions because people want to find something to be mad about there's so much other things to be mad about other than someone who doesn't actually abuse animals saying something that maybe you took in poor taste like it's just dumb to me and maybe it's a generational thing you know one person when I tried to explain myself I explained it was a joke and linked to it you know the one person told me don't man explain me and I'm like holy shit what the fuck are we even talking about right now you got upset at me about the comment so I explained where the joke came from so I explained myself and that suddenly became mansplaining and I'm like what what is this world coming to like what is our genders have to do with it had to do with any of this conversation I thought we were talking about people being mad at me thinking I'm an animal abuser what what what is gender I'm so like the way this world is is just everyone just wants to be mad about something they're just searching grasping at straws to be mad it's just so dumb I'm not I'm not gonna bad talk Bob by the way I'm still subscribed to Bob I still support Bob I got no I got no problem with Bob in fact it's funny because like beat em up made a joke about it the other day on twitter which of course got some people mad at beat em up which is hilarious watching me start to get some of the same stuff I was getting because he doesn't realize that most people that follow beat em up have no idea who the hell I am I don't know why whatever I assume they're joke poking fun at the situation and I just did like a little eyeball emoji and like Bob liked it and everything's all good and there's literally no beef between us but it's funny like just watching because it happened in the public eye people are just getting all flustered it's just funny it's funny to me how do you become a mod you don't ask to be a mod that's number one never asked to be a mod I don't think any of my mods ask to be a mod I decided on a whim during situations where I needed more moderators who was going to be moderators based essentially on my own personal opinion on past behavior and then being a number of streams and them knowing how I need it right now I don't feel like I need more moderators now for E3 this year our E3 people will you know like Birdman who's here, Brian C they'll let me know if they feel like we need more mods we have a mod chat on discord and they'll come at me and be like yeah man I don't feel like they haven't because they know what E3 was like last year you know we had 700, 800 live you know 900 live for like the entirety of E3 and they know how crazy it got especially with the giveaways so Seahawks24 would like you guys know so they'll know hey we don't have enough active moderators to handle this because it could be even bigger this year if we had 700, 800, 900 last year what if it's 1,011 1200 this year 1400 like they're gonna know if we need more moderators so for big events like that is when I start to look at adding more moderators and I take the opinion of the moderators we currently have along with my own experience with people who have been here so yeah you'll notice a lot of moderators are members but they're not always like Birdman's not a member and maybe he was a member at 1.0 I don't remember but he's not, the choice like I don't base it on memberships it could be anybody eProm if I could end up being one Rick could be I'm gonna be a one idea who the next moderators are gonna be like I couldn't even tell I don't have a secret list I keep somewhere of oh yeah these are the next moderators yeah I haven't even had that thought or conversation and I probably won't have that until May sometime around May when the E3 rumors ramp up and the viewership starts ramping up and our live streams are all 200, 250, 300 plus which happens in the lead-up to E3 because it happened last year that's when I start to all right we gotta start considering who we're adding some of the moderators today were added last year for E3 so um could I not be a one? sure you're not a mod congratulations you won yeah dude E3 was nuts and I dude our moderators did a bang up job for how much that I mean and it wasn't like like the moderators obviously you know they never complained to me about about what they were doing because they saw what we were dealing with like they saw live in action watching me and Eric try to handle everybody at the same time and all the giveaways and the people trying to scam us like we have so many people trying to scam giveaway wins and watching us deal with that like I think that also helped our moderators not really complaining about what they were doing because they were like holy shit look at what Nate and Eric are dealing with like this is like nothing but our moderators were fucking A plus underneath it I think there was only like one time I had to say something and I think it was just because we got accustomed that we need to time out we need to time out and it was like one situation where I said hey we probably shouldn't have timed out like you know and I go over all the rules with the moderators around these big streams because sometimes we're a bit more restrictive as an example E3 sometimes we like I think there was I don't know if we did this last year but sometimes for bigger streams I'd be like hey we're not going to love the chat this way I know I might say some cuss words Eric probably won't but I might say some cuss words but we're not going to let the chat do it because it can devolve into people yelling at each other and you know we don't need people being like oh you're such a motherfucker oh you're a shithead fuck you fuck you fuck you Tony it just devolves really really quickly versus me as a content creator that's probably not going to say that towards anyone in particular other than people trying to scam me I do say it all the time like dude people trying to scam giveaway wins like fuck off they're just making my job harder and if you get away with the scam you're costing me money because I'm still going to get the legit winner of their prize like you're just screwing me over oh yeah I scammed him and got out yeah that doesn't mean I didn't give the rightful winner the giveaway win it just means you costed me extra money and screwed me and yeah that ain't going to sit well with me so yeah I will say f off to people that try to scam we had someone try to scam for the older giveaway that we did last week it's like can we not man it's so dumb so dumb all you're risking is wasting my time and my money and that impacts my family when I got to spend extra money that I wasn't planning to you know that impacts my kids that ain't cool with me you know I'm going to tell you to fuck off but um what's up Carla Maher how's it going yeah you're here a lot been in court for your dad sorry about that sorry to hear that um can we get some thumbs up in the chat some smiley faces in the chat for the mods show the mods some love seriously our mods deal with a lot of shit you know when they make a mistake I catch it but I try to catch it at least in these smaller streams give the mods some love seriously they do a bang up job with expecting nothing in return I've never had a single moderator DME expecting me to pay them I've never had a moderator DME expecting anything I let them enter giveaways like everybody else they're allowed to enter the member only giveaways even if they're not members because you're a fucking moderator working for me for free you don't got to pay me to enter our member only giveaways speaking of members jaw looping Jeff welcome you the ladies member of the board of directors we are one member away from member only giveaways hop on the elevator and we're going to the tippity top up to the board room come on jaw looping Jeff come on Jeff join me on the way out be sure to let out your gap Jeff I was trying to tell you to let it out before you got on if you need to take a number two let me flush it quick we got a toilet in the corner sorry we're the only business in the world that install the toilet in the elevator don't ask me where the shit goes I have no idea I didn't install for all I know it just drops below and there's just a giant pile of doo doo at the bottom of the well I have no idea I didn't install this thing I don't know how this plumbing works on a moving elevator don't ask me just join me at the tippity top there we made it welcome welcome to the board room the executive suite executive suite how's it going buddy one of these days I'm gonna have it where I pull down the green screen and there's an actual board room behind me one of these days I've had the idea for a while but trying to make it look really good it's a bit difficult to make it look super cool but we gotta give away four minutes for another game and we're one member away from a member only giveaway that could happen right now tonight one more member hits that join button and it's members only we locked down the chat only members no one's slipping by besides moderators they're always allowed to enter and if any member ever complains to me that a moderator enters I will disqualify your entry just saying our moderators they earn their ability to be in these good boys for members only I don't think I've ever seen a member actually complain about it um there's so many nice people we try we try to be a foster a really good community you know I tell it like it is I speak my mind sometimes we dive into uncomfortable territory we just did a moment ago where I saw you guys in the chat number you saying can we please move on it wasn't because you were actually mad at me it's just an uncomfortable thing to talk about right nobody wants to enter that uncomfortable zone but it didn't make you lose respect for me it just made you okay this is cool but like the chat might not always take it the best and people may not take it the best let's move on gotcha oh good don't worry about it we keep it real around here you know we keep it real wait is stuff curry just score 62 points or is that like an old thing I thought they played last night I'm confused all the spurs won so pop got the record nice good friend most wins in NBA history good for Greg Popovich let's see if people won then I wanted to win tonight dang it Miami one I was hoping to leave them look
