Hey everyone, I am Nathaniel from the center prime and prime comments is back. I know we didn't have one last week I apologize about that holiday weekend and all of that jazz. I decided I needed to take a little bit of a break I kind of also took a break this weekend because if you remember we didn't have a video at all yesterday Besides our 5j live streams So I do want to apologize again for a little slowdown in videos lately and not having prime comments last week but we're back this week and This is being kind of dubbed the Response to haters episode Although I do want to note that I don't actually think any of the people I bring up by user name here Actually hate me or hate my channel. In fact, one of them goes on to say that they love our love our content So I just want to preface this by saying that despite the fact that we have a thing in back. This is hi hater. I Don't actually hate any of you guys and I don't think any of you guys necessarily hate me I'm sure there are people out there, but I have a feeling that when I respond here It's gonna feel like I am being very very passionate in terms of responding to haters misconceptions about me or my opinions But whatever, let's get right into it. The first thing I want to address isn't actually a comment It's several comments, which is why I'm not gonna actually read all the comments. I'm just gonna mention the video This all comes from the switch pro controller has a serious design fault Causing grinding that impacts gameplay And this is what I talked about. I don't even know if it's gonna show up because I don't have the good lighting right now But this talks about this problem here where there's grinding on the inside specifically that is causing Some catching of the controller here that's impacting gameplay now Many of you noted that obviously this hasn't happened to you Some said that this because it's not happening to you It must mean that I'm extremely hard on my sticks and some of you were actually being nice and offering solutions To fix this I heard everything from taking apart the gamepad and putting a clear pet You know a clear piece of tape around the actual stick cutting one to size and putting that around makes it You know gets rid of the issue entirely. I heard people talk about you know taking isopropic alcohol and cleaning it Which I have done before and it didn't work as well as I wanted it to To people just saying hey stop being so hard on your sticks You know pressing harder on your stick doesn't make your character move any faster. Doesn't make you any better That's what you know blah blah blah blah blah and there was a lot of comments along the lines of Essentially, there's not a design fault with the controller. It's 100% user error We hate you and we're gonna go on and watch other youtubers now because you clearly don't know what you're talking about and This comes with a heavy Like-to-dislike ratio that is not favorable to our channel now I Addressed some of this in a live stream earlier, but since our live streams are only live for our patrons after the fact I wanted to talk about it again and just mention a few things here a few misconceptions I might have been my fault because of the titling of the video or maybe I didn't explain it well enough But my issue isn't that grinding happens Grinding happens on this controller. This is my Xbox one controller that I have owned Not since launch because I did have a day one Xbox one, but this is one of the first Camo style controllers they released within the first year and I bought this as my second controller I have eventually sold my original Xbox one re-bought one, but I kept this controller This controller has a lot more hours of use in it than this one. So What I'm talking about is obviously the grinding and this controller has grinded as well I don't know how well it shows up on camera because again This isn't an ideal lighting situation to show this off, but I have grinding on every controller I've ever used in my life that has a joystick Dating all the way back to probably the first joystick. I ever used on the Nintendo 64 PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3. I have not owned a PlayStation 4 so I can't vouch for any grinding on that but there was obviously the GameCube and The Wii with the dongle attachment plus the little pro controller thing you could get You also the Wii U pro controller in the game pad the Wii U game pad and Obviously this controller and even the Joy-Cons on the switch itself which might be in the background up there on the wall I have had grinding on every controller I've ever had. I am not going to lie and say that I'm not hard on my sticks I am hard on my sticks I know I'm hard on my sticks, but I've never worn out a controller I've been gaming for well probably 25 years, but probably with joysticks for about 20 years and the very first controller I ever used that had joysticks was actually on PC back in the mid to late 90s playing Madden with joysticks and I Played with that controller for about 10 years and it never wore out In fact, the only reason I don't have it the show off right now is because I lost it Be it a kid moving around live in a different place throughout my life. I just I lost it And since Xbox controllers work on PC That's pretty much what I use on PC now as Xbox controllers. Actually this Wii U pro controller also works on PC but That's neither here nor there the issue I have is obviously that it's affecting gameplay. It's it's getting caught It's not staying stuck there. Some people reported in the comment section. It's getting stuck there But I'm like I'm not getting it stuck, but I feel resistance and then sometimes an occasional You know two to three millimeter jump and when that happens It's obviously impacting a game specifically if you're in twitchy gameplay Whether maybe it's a fighting game or if you're in like Splatoon where that little twitch movement can actually Effect your aiming and all of that jazz It's obviously a problem I know not everyone's having but I just want to emphasize that I've never had this happen on any controller my entire life So as hard as I had my my sticks and I know I'm hard There are people that are harder on their sticks than me very clearly by some of the comments made in the video about how They have had issues with this and this controller itself This particular one is only two weeks old and this is my second pro controller. It's happened to And if you actually actually take apart the pro controller What you'll notice and I have said I haven't taken apart for you now You can kind of feel it without taking it apart but this plastic you feel like on top it has it has a The soft feel in the middle and then this kind of rubberized outside that soft feel in the middle is basically Close to what the rest of the plastic on the stick feels like so what they did is they used a softer plastic on the stick And then they still have this really rough hard sharp plastic on the outside So what happens when you rub something hard and sharp against something? soft Obviously the soft thing grinds and gets kind of cut into and that's what's been happening and based on the comments for all The people that are saying that oh, I'm wrong and I'm an idiot go read the other comments There are dozens upon dozens of people just in my video in my small fan base Thursday Hey, look, this is happening to me. Hey, mine's getting stuck. Hey, mine's not getting stuck yet But the grind on it after a week is really really concerning It's it's interesting to see the dynamic between the several examples of people saying hell Yeah, this actually happens to the people say hey because it has the hasn't happened to me. It's not a problem It's your problem again I've used dozens upon dozens of stick controllers in my life And I've never worn them out and I've never had them grind to the point of affecting gameplay So that's why I say this is the design fault on Nintendo The Wii U pro controller in the game pad itself not even the joy cons grind like this so This is obviously an issue specific to this controller and specific to the choice of plastics on the sticks I don't know if these plastics are more expensive or cheaper. I have no idea But I assume cheaper since they're soft. I don't know obviously. I'm not I'm not a Plastician, I don't know the thing but I don't make plastics But yeah, it's obviously an issue of soft plastic rubbing It's hard plastic and if you're someone like me that's you know hard on their sticks, you know, some people might call this being hard on my stick That you're gonna experience that and I'm sure a lot of you guys are experiencing way more grinding on this controller Than you ever have before even if it's not getting stuck. That was kind of my point It's worse on this controller than it needs to be and it's worse than it's ever been for a Nintendo controller Save maybe the n64 n64 didn't necessarily have the stick grind But it had the the cheap the cheap plastic mechanism underneath the stick that used to break and that would cause you to have like that Wobbly stick thing and yeah, I didn't have that issue of mine Despite my heavy stick usage, but I know friends of mine that had happened to kind of a pain using those controllers And it was let's move on to the next video in comment This next video we're gonna talk about is about the switch running into a quality control problem and Nintendo should fix it dealt with a mobile game that was free to play coming out on switch that cost like ten bucks and still has all the micro transactions and all the stuff that made it a profitable venture is a free-to-play game and Gazenja Fox had this to say oh bad pricing on a mobile port This is a problem and is a sign more curation is needed from Nintendo at least on pricing But it's a long way from the asset flips or trophy such achievement farms that the other non-mobile systems have I think would GOG be in the only exception. I can think of Bering real releases though nothing about this screams that I need to have played it 10 million I don't even know what they're talking about with that, but what I can say is There are other people on here that said oh, why are you why why are you criticizing this because all other platforms do it? It's wrong for those platforms to do it to PlayStation Xbox Steam and every other platform holder out there or every other content providing platform Should not allow mobile games that are free to play on phones to come as is exactly the same product on their systems and charge a Significant chunk of change for it. Imagine that you're playing this free-to-play micro transaction mobile game That's also the same price of Super Mario Run That's what's happening It's a free-to-play game on one platform, but it's that same game plus the price of Super Mario Run on switch That's a problem to me and I it's not Nintendo's fault. Nintendo didn't choose the price Nintendo didn't tell them to charge $10 I never blamed Nintendo for choosing the price or even Nintendo allowing this game to be on the platform I have nothing wrong with mobile games coming to consoles That is not what that video was about my issue is that I feel like Someone needs to step up and say look you can't treat our customers like crap And you need to treat them fairly with the other consumers and I want Nintendo to do that I'm not going to apologize for wanting Nintendo to do that And I want to thank a gesundra fox for for kind of understanding that this is actually a problem Even though it's a problem that probably isn't going to get fixed like I want it to it's still something I felt like addressing because Things like this often don't get the attention they deserve just like there's all actually a lot of people that think About talking about the grind on the controller because no one else was talking about it And so the when no one else talks about the thing. Oh, it's just me when really it's a more common problem than you realize Even more common for some people than maybe even the issue the one won't issue with the d-pad Anyways, we'll be down The next video we're gonna talk about our next comment Comes from the two cases digital is the future of the gaming industry So let's talk about it a lot of people didn't like my opinions on that and this comes from Casual game plays they said for as long as I'm around I will always advocate for physical copies Oh, but digital is cheaper than why are they always more expensive than physical copies? Digital games never have price drops. You don't own anything besides a digital license. It's all BS You're wrong for starters Oftentimes digital games are cheaper than physical games In fact, digital games will have sales well in the physical games aren't having sales Just like physical games will have sales when the digital games don't now There is obviously issues were certain physical copies like three months out will drop to 20 bucks But it's still $60 on the on the shop That's obviously a pricing discrepancy issue that needs to be resolved, but you're wrong In fact, a big reason that PC gaming has blown up is there are many many many people out there that will argue I'm not gonna be one of them, but I've heard this argument many times that PC gaming despite how expensive it can be to say Say you invest $1,000 and you build a medium to high-end gaming rig They'll say that's really really expensive compared to buying a $300 Nintendo switch But you could go get a steam sale spend 10 bucks and get 30 games And that seems like a greater value than those same 30 games on the console side cost a new hundreds of dollars And they're not wrong I mean steam sales themselves have kind of not been as good as they used to be and now sales at places like good old games And other outlets on the internet even origin believe it or not from EA is starting to have some really good sales It's become one of those things where digital copies do sell cheaper than physical it's even happening on switch Sometimes will be that switch tax on the physical copy, but the digital copy will be the same price as other systems So it's not even true what you're saying Now you could now you it is right that you know, you're buying a digital license. It's actually funny That same digital license if you actually read the fine print It's basically the exact same license of the physical copy. The difference is that in countries that allow You know resale of things you own That license doesn't supersede your ability to sell that license to somebody else Whereas online there's no Common way to sell a license you own there are some outlets that allow you to resell a gaming a game license that you have Some places online that lets you Move a license from one account to another account again It's not very common But it does exist and as soon as that becomes a more widespread thing that point I'm being able to get some value back on your game purchase is gone And obviously there's the whole point that a lot there's still a large part of the market They just don't sell their games and I'm someone that's been selling games forever Because I've been living on a budget and I just when I need cash the easiest quickest thing to sell is my video game collection and that sucks I've even had to sell consoles because of that as well Not fun, especially since you end up spending more money because you're gonna buy re-buy that console later And ends up not being worth it But it felt worth it at the time because you have more money later than you had now Basically bad at budgeting bad Nate bad at budgeting. Don't be me But yeah My general stance is obviously that the facts point out that digital is going to be the future 76% of game sales in the United States are through digital already now that includes mobile games That was as of 2016. It's probably even higher this year, but I It's kind of a future. It's coming sometime in the next 20 to 40 years Gaming is going to be like primarily digital With some niche physical games still existing kind of like vinyl someone brought up the example of oh Yeah, that's why vinyl went away right vinyl did go away and now it's back as a niche overpriced product That's way more expensive than buying that music digitally so Yeah, I mean that's what physical games might become someday, but all digital futures coming to not here Yeah, I mean even in Japan. I think like in the month of October Odyssey sold like 560 something thousand copies only 60,000 copies of that was digital So obviously we're not there yet. There's still more physical games being sold in digital But the digital rate is growing every year that and I think that's something we have to look at closely When talking about the future of video games is that physical game sales are shrinking while digital is growing It's just when are we gonna get to the equilibrium where they're at 50-50 and then suddenly bam digital just overtakes physical It's going to happen the writings on the wall for several different reasons There's a lot of things for preventing it from being a big deal yet You could argue the size of the hard drives in the systems internet speeds The playstation xbox and nintendo e-shop all limiting your connection when you're downloading All that stuff that needs to be addressed But again, this generation is not the generation It's going to do it next generation is probably not the generation that can do it But a few generations from now we could be talking about hey look most of the games in this platform are delivered digitally I mean you could argue that now because of uh Because of indie games, but I mean through the AAA that might eventually start being triple gay games that only come out digitally. So It's happening Don't know when I love physical copies, but It is what it is And our last thing we're going to address today Uh comes from the switch could have final fantasy 14 if sony would allow cross play now before I get into this I want to note that this comment is cherry picked out of a long comment chain um That dealt with the switches first off the switches ability to run final fantasy 14 the switches ability to um Have cross play because the developers my final fantasy 14 said they want to bring the game to switch And they want to bring it to xbox one and the reason it's not happening Is because they want to have cross play between all versions of the game. So the entire player base is connected um and that uh first party studios are um Have policies in place that are preventing this from happening Which to me felt like an obvious shot at sony since sony's the only first party studio We know of publicly that has stated. They are against cross play Uh, even though uh, and it could affect this game because this game launched on playstation 4 as like a console exclusive So I'm going to get right into this comment. Um, I just want to get some context in case some things don't make a little Sense when i'm reading it and this comes from cheser cheser a hat they say I love how pc gamers say potato every time I've been playing final fantasy 14 since before they fixed the game and completely revamped it years ago But I won't waste my time since these so-called facts you made up against me Seeing as you don't have any proof of a single thing you said I've created games for a living and built a few pc's for others as well But I'm sure you'll just get upvotes simply because it's your nintendo channel Fact is sony isn't mentioned Fact is you're making excuses for nintendo and again can't prove a thing you said about your gaming experience Define what a fact is Sorry nate everything. I've said can and has been proven through the third party games alone Through all of the flamers and sheep will say otherwise if anything negative about nintendo has said I'm staying here Love your content But the nintendo bias and assumptions are just part of your charm, sir Keep believing your facts and I'll just let the actual tech speak for itself as it's done so far And said person Literally didn't say sony as you literally please use the word correctly next time Said in this video that sony was never clarified or mentioned All right So first off I am going to apologize. I have a bad habit of using the word literally when it's not actually being used correctly It's just when it's something that's an obvious connection. It's clearly what they are saying without saying it So it's not literally It's I I got to find a better word I got to find the word for whatever that is and start banging that into my vocabulary So I do apologize for using the wrong terminology but you know This is dealing with uh this is first off This entire debate that we had back and forth in the comment section dealt with Uh, whether or not this game could run on switch whether or not it could support cross play with switch Uh, and whether or not, uh, it would be a fun playable experience And like when you call out my gaming, you know my gaming experience and define what a fact is Um You were calling in the question when I talked about how I used to raid in world of warcraft 40 man raids playing One fps if you want me to back that up I can go ahead and get people to come on here that I used to raid with I can go ahead and get I think I might even Have some old now. This was when I had a slightly better computer, but it was still raiding at like sub 20 fps Uh, there's some old shaded by oblivion videos out there Um that show me uh, because I recorded them I could probably look them up on youtube somewhere because I used to I used to run the shaded by oblivion Our guild's website and youtube channel. There are some videos out there. I had better a little bit better specs And that was back when uh That was after vanilla that might have been the burning crusade or uh Oh man I can't I can't believe I'm even drawing a blink of what the second expansion pack was um But the point is is that obviously I can't go back and literally prove Everything that I said and I hope I'm using the word correctly there because I said I can't prove Everything about my gaming experience back then because I was young and wasn't obviously recording my my gameplay While I was playing when I could only one fps in the game um But when when you like here's what you say, um, they're just going over that part uh But I won't waste my time since the so-called Facts that I made up which are really weird because I didn't make up anything Are against me as you don't have any proof of a single thing you said Um, and then you claim you've created games for a living provided no proof that you've created games for a living Um that you've built a few pcs for others as well didn't provide any proof that you built pcs for other people I can provide proof that I built the pc myself this rig right over here that might be slightly off camera There's a live stream of it up on this channel of me building that computer so I I I can prove I built computers I can prove I've built a computer Uh, I can prove that I still build computers for other people Uh, but I have proof that's all I have on the internet for that.  I can't prove Because I'm just saying they happen. You're just saying this stuff happens. I'm not doubting that you've made games I'm not doubting that you've built pcs. Lots of people built pcs.  I'm just saying that you're providing the same amount of evidence for Uh, what you do as I provided for what I did as an unit provide any evidence. You're just saying you did it Can't you see how that's the same argument if you're going to call out my facts and say I have no proof for evidence You can't just then say you have done x and provide no proof for evidence It's just a bad way of arguing if you're going to try to say what I'm saying is not true because I didn't provide proof for evidence But then what you're saying is true without providing proof for evidence You see what I mean starts to become the straw man argument that, uh Is it's just silly if you're going to try to debunk me and say things like this Provide the evidence that you're saying I don't provide um, but anyways Moving me on that, uh, it says I'll still get up votes because uh, it's your nintendo channel, which I mean I think that's generally true people who really really love my channel. I'm just gonna like every comment I make It's just the way it is. Um So I'm not even gonna argue about that point. You see this on other channels as well Uh, but it says the fact is sony isn't mentioned, which is true. Sony's not mentioned Uh fact is I'm making excuses for nintendo. Here's the weird thing. This isn't even about nintendo That's the weird thing. None of this is about nintendo This is about some folks at square enix who said they want to bring this game to switch They want to bring this game to xbox one. They want to do it and they can't because of first party policies And that first party policy being that there's certain companies that won't allow cross play and there's only one company right now One first party company that doesn't allow cross play. You connect the dots there and tell me it's not sony Um, so yes, they don't literally mention sony because they are on that platform and I said in that video They're not going to throw sony under the bus But that is what they're saying. They are saying that a first party studio or they they say studio is Uh policies need to change to allow cross play and there's only one company not allowing cross play So I'm not gonna that's a fact. The fact is one first party company isn't allowing cross play They said it's because of first party policies on cross play It's sony. That's why I titled it sony.  That's what's so weird. None of this is about nintendo Um, this is them saying they can bring it to switch them saying they can bring it to xbox one. They are saying that I'm just saying that sony is one of the basically the primary reason it's not happening because of their cross play Stuff that they also said did they say sony by name? No, but they are the only studio or the only first party company Factually as you like to say factually blocking cross play Well, where am I wrong? Those are facts as well anyways, um So anyway, you go on to say everything that you said can be proven through third party games and a lot of to be fair To what you said you said a lot of games Don't work with cross play between pc and consoles because x y and z Ignoring the examples I gave where cross play does exist between pc and consoles Because cross play does exist between pc I mean cross play exists between certain ps4 games and pc's in fact final fantasy 14 has cross play between PlayStation 4 even the og playstation 4 and pc still to this day I know you made a point about the game running on playstation 3 and why it kind of forced people over to playstation 4 And I understand that you yourself Cannot see a possible way final fantasy 14 can run on switch at an acceptable level for cross play And I understand that I'm not doubting your experience with the game Even though you can't prove your experience with the game just like you're asking me to prove my experience of world of warcraft You're you you literally Can't prove your experience here. Well final fantasy 14 either When you say you played it here you played it there you think it's unplayable here unplayable there And I think it's like frame rate wise. There's lots of different variables in in playability Some people find 20 fps playable. Some people won't don't find anything under 100 fps playable Anyways, um, the point I was making here is that it's isn't your your passionate responses are because you personally don't see A final fantasy 14 can run on switch at an acceptable level the to have cross play My point was that the developers said they want they want to put it on switch and xbox one with cross play So you might not see a way that can be done But the people behind the game are saying they see a way it can be done So you are just doubting them not me. That's why I don't get why you're hating on me about it. Um, as for, uh You same, uh, but nintendo bias and assumptions are just part of my charm. I'm not going to say I don't have any bias I obviously do. I'm nintendo prime.  I have killed them for what they did with Wii U Um, I was not happy with certain things. I did with 3ds Um, I wasn't happy with certain things to do with we I went after certain design choices in decisions in different games they have made Uh, more recently, I was just getting killed for going after them about the day in pro controller Um, I I criticized the hell out of nintendo because I want them to be the best version of themselves And while that doesn't make me unbiased it. I think it opens my mind because I am not It's almost my fault if I didn't if I didn't name if I didn't name this channel gaming prime instead of nintendo prime One I went to paint it myself into a corner and two, uh, maybe you won't think I'm so as biased as I am You are looking at the name nintendo prime and saying hey that that look at the name of your channel You clearly are super biased. I'm primarily a pc gamer I'm a pc gamer first and foremost I play uh when my xbox one is here, which it's not it's in the repair shop when my xbox one is here I play more on my xbox one than I do on a nintendo system Uh, before I launched this channel. I barely played nintendo games that they weren't zelda um, it's It nintendo has been kind of my least played system over the years is basically what i'm saying So it's really weird when people will call me biased because I have this passion for This company that I want to be as good as other companies stuff that I enjoy Um, but yeah in this case I I'm not I'm really going to apologize for much that I said unless I I don't think I did any personal insults to you. I hope not But yeah, I don't know I warned you guys I warned everyone. Hi hater again. This person doesn't hate me But if I knew it was going to end feeling like this was a hater episode Anyways, folks, I am tender over just from nintendo prime if you like this video You know what to do and if you dislike the video hit that dislike button If you would like to get cool merch like this shirt or that notebook or uh this cup right here You can go down to the uh description below and there'll be links to some of that merchandise You can check out for yourself.

I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline I'm Sarah Lane in beautiful Salt Lake City. I'm Scott Johnson and I'm the show's producer Roger Chang Hey, you know what a special happy birthday to Jason Howell of producer of buzz out loud tech news today Sometimes guest on Daily Tech news show. It's his birthday today, and Happy birthday Jason We were just talking about Buying things online and what we thought of the Apple announcement yesterday and all kinds of good stuff on good day internet That's the wider show that encapsulates Daily Tech news show You can get that by becoming a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Uber laid off 435 people in engineering and product roles, which is about 8% of those departments This follows a layoff of 400 people from its marketing department back in July Uber employees around 27,000 full-time folks Uber also lifted a hiring freeze that was put into place last month and the company lost five billion dollars in Q2 well, although a large portion of that loss was related to one-time IPO expenses real real quick clarification that 27,000 doesn't include drivers at all. That's right. No good clarification. It does not at least not yet That's a lot of people. Yeah, not yet. Maybe in California soon. All right Hey, Mozilla is launching its Firefox private network VPN service to US desktop users of Firefox as part of the revived Firefox test pilot program Firefox private network is an extension that encrypts a connection to analyze it and or excuse me anonymize it and to prevent sniffing cloud Cloudfare provides the proxy servers to Mozilla. The service is free during this beta The Libra Association said it plans to apply to become a licensed payments system in Switzerland where it is headquartered The Swiss financial market supervisor finna said Libra appears to be more than just a global payment system And likely would be subject to liquidity and capital allocations for risk to management of reserves Remember, there's a basket of currencies that Libra uses as a reserve to back its Cryptocurrency that it's developing Libra told Reuters that finna's guidance quote now define what the Libra ecosystem is and what it is not Bloomberg reports three merchants that say several attorneys and at least one economist have been conducting interviews with people who sell goods on amazon as part of a u.s FTC investigation This follows an august 2nd report that john bumstead of minnesota was interviewed by FTC lawyers About the impact of amazon and apple's deal on his refurbished mac business Yeah, so it's wider than just the apple stuff looks like they're looking into all all parts of it according to these sources Let's talk a little bit more about Some of those under the under the radar apple announcements this they sometimes just release some things in press releases Like they did with the operating system release dates that we mentioned yesterday scott. You've got another one here Sure, this is less boring on stage, but uh interesting to consumers I think apple updated apple care plus with a new monthly subscription offering previously the extended warranty covered two or three years Which could pay uh, you'd pay that all at once when you'd pick up your hardware or go buy it or get it online Or you could do it in monthly installments. That's how it always worked then the change now offers the option to pay monthly until cancelled The user could cancel the subscription under certain terms or apple could cancel within 30 days notice If it no longer can service the items Or that you know get parts for the thing that's breaking for you This potentially means apple care could last longer than the usual two or three years Uh, how do we feel about a new uh subscription in our lives a service one If you're trying to wrap your head around this say the apple watch you normally get it for apple care for two years Period you can pay it in installments. You can pay it all at once But it's two years This seems to imply that it could last longer than two years because they're saying you pay monthly until it till you cancel Although I suppose apple could just decide there are no longer parts to service it at the end of two years I will have to wait and see i'm hoping that's not the case Yeah, sort of 11th hour kind of stuff reminds me of my current, uh least term For my apartment, you know my landlord has 30 days to be like you're out of here sarah, but but uh at the same time Having just gone through a big mac book mac book pro Display fixed that was 650 dollars was a lot of money because it was out of warranty And it was something that you know was that apple wasn't going to cover for me Even though it's a known issue, but that is beside the point Uh, you know I after you know, I did the math and I was like, okay Well, this sort of apple insurance would have saved me money in the long term had this had been available to me Before hand, which it wasn't But at the same time it's kind of like the way I feel about creative cloud You know, I'm paying every month for premiere and photoshop Uh, it's it's going to over the course of you know several years be more money than it would have been to outright Just buy the the product in the first place Which is how we used to do things but we've all gotten so used to subscription models Yeah, I I uh, I wonder if there isn't a future where If you're invested enough across the board I guess if you're a business and maybe they already have some of this and I don't know but Paying a monthly fee to just sort of covered all of the stuff branded under that name Whether it's apple or whoever Microsoft whoever wants to do it that seems like a thing I wouldn't mind as a can as a consumer or a kind of a prosumer of products That seems like that might be a a way to deal Yeah, I don't think this this works that way though I think you have to tell it what you're covering and then the price varies based on that but yeah I'm usually one who thinks that these things don't exist to Protect you so much as make the company money So I'm very skeptical apple does have one of the better terms where they will actually replace things and fix things Some of these warranties try to kind of nickel and dime you on that stuff even when when it's covered But uh interesting to see that with a sort of a no end I wonder if being in cahoots with goldman sex on the credit card Provided them any insight and in the math behind offering this Google's chrome 77 is rolling out to windows mac ios and android this week one new feature Let's you right click on a link where you can choose to send the link to another device where you use chrome So in other words not just opening the same page as you have open But like I can send the link from windows to my android phone And when I go open chrome on my android phone, it'll be right there Now the feature has shown up in windows android and ios though in ios You have to have chrome open to see the prompt to accept the shared link So it's a little jankier there And it hasn't showed up on macOS desktop yet But it will supposedly chrome 77 also has a new site loading indicator in the tab that uses the site's fave icon So it's a little more obvious when a site's still loading Yeah before the show I I was like this sounds like a great feature Was this not already a feature and tom you'd clarified? Well for some people they're like don't don't I already have the good ability to do this? But no it's yeah being able to share the link is actually a step forward or firefox does it if you were thinking of that Maybe I don't I don't know they've they've had that i'm a chrome user across all devices currently so Yeah, there is a isn't Okay, I may be totally wrong here and I hope I am so someone to correct me But it seems like I when I've jumped around with different browsers on my phone including chrome and firefox That the apple link share stuff still kind of works So you get that kind of mac icon that pops up and goes Oh, you've got something happening over here on this other device. Do you want to open it here? And I swear i've done that. Yeah, that's an apple thing though. You can't do that with your android phone I think that's what we're thinking of is what i'm saying. Oh, yeah, maybe that's the experience I had that that could make me think I've done it and that I actually haven't done it It's not exactly the same thing, but yeah, that could be what you're thinking of right Oh Scott I have potentially good news or bad news for you I'll let you tell me what it is playstation gamers Count yourself among them who have been calling the console's x button The x button are in for a surprise because sony says this is actually called the cross button In fact on twitter sony's official account said quote if cross is called x and then they said in parentheses It's not then what are you calling circle? And that referred to the fact that a lot of gamers call the o button the circle button Yeah, this is a thing that didn't some people are downright upset about it I mean well, so sony did a poll where they said what do you call it wink wink? Well, that's what you're wrong. Yeah, it's almost like they brought this on themselves, but it's also I mean they did It's a it's a it's a pr thing. It is definitely a pr thing, but here's the thing like it's so Weird to get wrapped up in a pedantic thing that has been in place for 20 plus years We've been calling it the x button since the day in 96 that I went home with my brand new playstation 1 And then return it a week later because the fan was bad. But anyway, that's not part of the story We called it an x button then I've heard sony in presentations at e3 and other events say the x button As they're describing what's happening in games and so on so I know they know it So this is just a way of getting everybody to talk about their playstation I guess and I don't know that it's the best way to do that It seems like a lot of negative cloud over this thing or does it make you cross? No, it makes me I'm all x'd out over it Well, when you think of it, you're like, okay, of course because of naming conventions of competitors. Sure You'd say, oh, yeah, call it a cross rather than an x but as you point out, Scott Sony itself hasn't done this for many years now. So it's a little silly. It's super silly and it's not It's not so much that We're completely adverse to change if they came out and said it's really important You call it the the cross button and for now all games will just refer to it as that And you'll see it in all of our documentation if they were going to do that. All right fine. We get used to it But why it's you're part of the of the popular culture in a way that few Companies are and certainly in gaming. That's a that's a thing that sticks forever We already know it for what it is It was already weird to use symbols and not abc ab x and y like everybody else was doing And has continued to double down on this weird symbol thing The only part of it that made sense to us was x and occasionally o instead of circle So don't take that from us. Let us have this like Like normal conversation about we all know. Yeah, it's the 10 button Yeah, and i'm never gonna tell nick. He's never gonna go dad. I can't get out of this level Well, hit the cross button first Yeah, hit the 10 button. Well, and also, I mean, I know this is nitpicky, but When I see x that often means like abort Right like it doesn't mean cross to me It's like you you you should have kind of planted the seed about the fact that you wanted us to all call this a long time ago Yeah, and other controllers have x. It's all just weird. So I don't know why they did it tom's right It's pr. It's weird pr though Let's talk about something more serious I agree and documents related to its plans to issue public stock cloud fair disclose potential economic and trade sanctions violations and such To the u.s. Treasure treasury department the filing says the disclosure was made to the treasury in may The filing also says that customers that have been designated by the us as terrorists and narcotics traffickers Or are affiliated with governments who are currently subject to comprehensive u.s. Sanctions Used and paid for cloud fair services But for us says it's adding additional controls and screening to remediate the problem And uh or remedy rather no remediate cloud fair also May disclosures over potential export control violations to the commerce department and census bureau So, I mean really this is cloud flare Filing its paperwork not covering things up saying hey, you know, we did our due diligence. We looked in the background It looks like some bad people may have taken advantage of our services And we're we're taking measures to try to stop that from happening in the future But this is no different than what happens on facebook and youtube in my opinion where you have an automatic system For signing up for something and it works at a scale that is larger than humans can review and that is a problem And you know, I I don't think there's a moral judgment to be laid on cloud flare here Other than to say like well if in this world where technology works at that scale This is something that is going to happen. And yes, we need to figure out how to make it not happen Uh, but it's easier said than done and uh, and and it's interesting to me that you don't you don't see a bunch of Outrage about cloud flare out there That that you might have if this was a facebook or a google Doing it because cloud flare has been very good about protecting your data and being a good steward or at least appearing to be so in the past Yeah, isn't it also good that they I mean the benefit from being on the tail end of these other Stories like we had one last day even it feels like every week there's at least two or three of these because outrage exhaustion Partly that but also they can come in on the back end and go well in spite and they're not saying this but despite all of those things We're doing this The right way we believe here is our due diligence. Here is our here was our transparency. Here's how we're trying to do this Isn't that better than what you've seen before without having these are just these are they're not doing press announcements about this They're not out there saying look at what we're doing. These are just they have to file this. Yeah Yeah, but even then like it's just a better look for them that they weren't the first to get To get hit with like hey, wait a minute. There might be potential terrorists using your common systems I mean that's that's true of any online service at all like that's not specific to cloud flare That's true. Yeah, I think this is less of a like look at what cloud flare did right and more of a this is our new normal Yeah, right or wrong either one Uh developer steve trout and smith he of the finding evidence of future products and developers things fame Posted a screenshot of a read me file from the ios 13 gold master that describes how employees can run Stereo augmented reality apps on an iphone when you don't have access to apple's headset What headset is that? Steve trout and smith asked as he read this read me refers to something codenamed garta Garta has also been reported in leaks by nine to five mac and mac rumors as a codename for an ar headset Uh garter seems to be a stereoscopic ar headset based on the content of the read me ros 13 code also has a game controller framework gamepad profile that trout and smith describes as For a device meant to be used while using stereo augmented reality apps The controller profile has a clicky trackpad a trigger button and a system button which trout and smith thinks might be a home button But yeah, it looks like at least internally apple has been testing an augmented reality headset of some sort And a controller to go with it And this is something that we've been you know hearing rumors about for some time But this is our our our best evidence that this is a real thing that is in testing Yeah, not only that but you know everybody we were talking pre-show about how It feels like people are on eggshell sometimes at the apple saying well When are you going to show your hand in the vr stuff that we know you're at least researching or working on? That's what they do they went for everybody else to put products out and then they come out and say well Here's how we think we're doing it right And they just haven't really done much even though there've been weird patents flowing around and strange drawings and now this But I think this leads me to believe anyway that what we'll see is a company continue to push ar Uh, they've had a lot of that happening with the phone and with their ios devices Why not apple to be the one that comes out with it at the very least in a ar solution if not some sort of mixed reality headset And maybe maybe sooner than we think or this could be like any other thing like apple cars where you just never see anything So i'm not holding my breath, but i'm excited that there's something well. Sean Hollister over at the verge Suggest that this could be like a cardboard style device something you put your iphone in Uh, if you if you read the read me in a certain way it could work that way Which might be just a test device He doesn't think and I agree with him that apple would ever release a cardboard style augmented reality device for an iphone So we may be a little farther down the road than we think But if you're like well wait, I already knew apple it was making an augmented reality device because I saw all those headlines Well, there's been a lot of people leaking things and speculating. This is solid evidence It's referenced to the headset in a read me file released to public developers So this is different than somebody said or somebody told me or I think I heard or I saw a leak like this is This is actual evidence We we've sort of lost the ability to distinguish those things over the years So I feel it's important to point that out Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com All right back to california state senate passed bill ab five That bill if it becomes law, it's not law yet would make some contractors into non-contract employees You'll see people refer to it as full-time But there could be part-time employees that are that are assigned benefits The point is they get benefits they contractors don't get benefits If you're a full employee a non-contract employee, they have to give you a certain amount of benefits The bill would affect companies like uber lift door dash postmates Even interpreters and translators possibly some taxi companies who hire people to drive as contractors Under the proposed law to be considered a contractor a worker in california must meet the abc test This was laid out in a court case last year and is now being kind of beefed up and turned into law So the abc case is you are free from control of the hiring company The hiring company doesn't tell you how to do your job.  Yeah, this is how you qualify as a contractor Two you have to work outside the company's main business if the company is a trucker, which is what the the court case was about And you drive a truck It's going to be harder to prove that you work outside the company's main business And the third thing you need to do to prove you're an independent contractor is have an independent business Beyond the contracted job So you can't be like, oh, no, my only source of income is this contracted job Then the legislation is going to say well, then you're not a contractor AB five specifically exempt some categories though So freelance writers are exempt real estate agents lawyers among others These non-contract employees in california if they're found to be not contractors must be paid a minimum wage receive overtime sick leave family leave and contribute to social security and medicare And if they're using their own vehicles like with uber and lift then they'd be required to be reimbursed for mileage If they're using their own car for company business Also, don't forget that companies with employees have to pay payroll tax for employees On top of the money taken out for wages. A lot of people don't realize that There's the withholding that comes out of your payroll But then the company has to pay a tax just for employing you on top of that Why that's called a payroll tax But why Because the government wants to have more money. So I'm just as somebody who's never paid this tax I'm like, that doesn't sound like something I want to do. No, but uh, I pay this tax because I employ you Exactly. Yeah as as a privilege of employing roger and sarah. I pay the payroll tax uber and lift say they plan to take a referendum in california voters to create a new non-employee Classification for drivers next year that would be their their way of fighting back on this The bill now goes back to the state assembly For kind of a reconciliation. They have to approve some amendments that the senate put on it It's expected to pass there and after that it would go to the governor who is in full support of this So he was expected to sign it and if passed it'll go into effect on january 1st Oh man, so many things to think about with this and I know it's only california, but I work with so many californians That I have a lot of questions about how this might affect me. It does sound though like for example, if somebody hires me And I'll speak just because I only know what I could do but somebody hires me says, hey, we're doing this children's book We need an illustrator. We'd like you to do it Probably gonna be okay Like that's still a Under these definitions and these changes. It's still a thing You're the writer is pulling in an artist to do a thing and then the writer's Done and that guy goes away contract complete, right? What they're trying to kill are People who may want to keep me around to do illustrations for something every month still call me a contractor But depriving me of whatever rights they think they're depriving me of I think that's how I have it in my head And people take advantage of it, right? Like yeah, I mean this is this is definitely targeted at an industry And that never has unintended side effects.  It's often not full-time. So companies that are of a large scale What do we say earlier in the show that uber has like 27 000 full-time employees none of which are drivers big company And in many cases this is the bread and butter of somebody who is working for that company So that I see that it makes a lot of sense But you know tom you used uh the dts team as an example and there are a lot of uh small private companies Who will be affected by this and not necessarily in good ways Yeah, I mean It makes uh, it hard for me or scott if he's using somebody that lives here in california Like when I co-host current geek with him for instance, uh, it makes it harder to decide well, wait a minute Do you fall into this law? I mean, you're not a freelance writer.  You're hiring my company And you're not hiring me and eventually what they did is they're like, oh, you should be a vendor not a contractor And they they switched it all up and it's fine But it is causing a lot of consternation outside of this and I guess what makes it a tech story is a lot of non uh malicious technology Innovation happens because of the freedom to be like. Oh, yeah Let me just hire somebody to do that for for a minute that doesn't require a lot of paperwork and consternation And at least in california This is going to add a few layers to that or at least put people at risk if they're like well as long as nobody complains I guess it's fine. But what if somebody does complain down the road, right? It just just adds a little uncertainty in there Yeah, I hope uh, I hope it doesn't have I mean, here's what here's what usually happens with these kinds of changes and also existing laws People find loopholes as you were describing this. I was thinking about let's see if Is tom really a contractor when I do current geek payouts? Probably not like I know I'm a vendor. I'll you something you're hiring sub brilliant llc Uh to provide a guest for your show Exactly. See there's always this stuff. I learned this if I've learned anything from my magical accountant And one day it may get him in trouble.  It's just Yeah Yeah, exactly like If if if there is somebody like sarah for instance who's like, oh no, I tell her I don't tell her what to do. No one tells sarah what to do. But you know, I I'm like you have to be here every time Right, uh, and and and I want you I want you to write up some stuff that and and and you're doing 40 hours a week work Then you're a full-time person and I get that and this is this is trying to make sure the companies are debusing this So I'm not saying I'm even against this law, but it does Change the way a lot of other things are going to happen I know they they carved out lawyers and real estate agents because they knew those would be screaming the biggest freelance writers too because the media Uses that a lot so it'll be interesting. Yeah, also. I'm glad I'm glad that they're not worried about how poorly People who are on their own Soul proprietors ships treat themselves. Do you know what I'm saying? Like there's no way I'm being fair to myself. I get crappy vacation time My pay is not that great if you look at hours spent versus what the totals are Like I'm a terrible example of mismanagement of my employee if I count it. I'm really glad I don't and I hope I never do Well, I hope you never do either And and yeah, I mean, I I guess we didn't talk enough this about like the actual what this does for writers But it could reduce the number of writers that these companies employ On the other hand, it's definitely going to reduce the exploitation of these writers Who have been complaining more and more that the deal gets worse all the time that the more they work They're not making that much more money As the ferris change. So it'll be interesting to see how it shakes up. Yeah, I mean Freelance writing especially it's like free from control of the hiring company working outside the company's main business. Everybody does that You know have an independent business beyond the contracted job Everybody does that, you know, unless things are going badly. So yeah, a lot of gray areas here still Well, but the but freelance writers are exempted So they don't they don't have to worry about it. All right, but anybody who falls under that Same moniker is you know, I think that there are a lot of companies who will be like, well, are we really controlling you? And the freelance person might say well, I think you are see that's my point It becomes these start thinking of these loopholes and like oh if you define it that way, like that's why this stuff's so hard to regulate it is What isn't hard to regulate our wonderful subredditors You can submit stories and vote on others at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com We use those stories to help bolster our show.

Ted wrote in about using Vivaldi as his main browser for over a year and Ted So he has some really good thoughts He says all the features of chrome But none of the google most of the web apps that I use are optimized for chrome and since vivaldi uses the chromium rendering engine It works just as well Vivaldi can also use any extension in the chrome app stores. You can get all your favorite customizations You could also sync your personal data outside of the google cloud If you prefer not to have google holding the keys to your whole digital life Vivaldi's cloud services are free and privacy centered Ted also says web panels are a little expandable are a Little expandable windows along the side of the browser perfect to show in an online to-do list or a notes app Or any other site that you want to have handy but also hidden And then Ted says cool customizations in the browser interface itself If you wish your tabs or address bar or windows looked and worked a little differently I really like how the tab bar bar will match the color of whatever site you visit I also like the ability to mosaic multiple browser tabs so I can interact with them at the same time Finally, Ted says built-in screenshot and nice native developer tools as well Now I mentioned yesterday We had an email from Allison Sheridan that we didn't get to read while Allison was on the show But uh, she says i'm sure there are people who just don't like change So don't want microsoft to do but that's not it for her She's a wonder list fan as microsoft has been working on to do Allison writes i've jumped in and back out to test functionality Earlier versions were missing a most critical feature the ability to share a list with someone The next big thing missing was the ability to organize lists into folders Now I tested folders when it came out last month and thought they finally had it ready for prime time But the painstaking organization I created didn't go across to my other devices eventually that worked too But then things started to disappear from my lists and lists move back out of folders I think microsoft will get there and I'll keep trying to move over but as of a month ago It wasn't even reliable. So if there may be wonderless people like allison who are like, yeah, I'd move but it just doesn't work yet So yeah, I'm I found myself in the same boat. I did. I don't know if I told you guys this I moved completely over to one drive and away from a box and I've been Thrilled with it. It's been great zero problems light weight no weird restrictions None of the weird newness of all the cranky or the crazy stuff dropbox was trying to do I'm not anti drop box good power to everybody.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Premier League team of the season is absolutely crazy, and I wanna take a look at all of the content that was released on this game yesterday, all the crazy market movements, and what to even expect into today on Saturday with team of the season. We can league in full swing, of course, with that new schedule. We can league starting later. A lot of people, there's a lot of demand for footchamps I think early today on Saturdays, people wake up, play some games. I think I wanna talk about how that's gonna impact the market, and also just how the supply and the prices of this team of the season squad for these Premier League items is crazy. There's insane amounts of supply, and these cards are really, really cheap compared to what I thought they were gonna be. Bernardo Silva, again, go through all of these cards today and kinda look at them once again and just talk about how EA did a really awesome job boosting these cards and giving out for some pretty good stats. There's a little bit of hype that has been detracted, I think, because some of these cards, they actually downgraded stats on from what we saw from the preliminary leaks earlier on, and like Wednesday and Thursday, like Mohamed Salah, instead of being 99 paced, 99 dribble, of course, now we're looking at a Salah card that has 90, what is it, 98 paced and 98 dribble, so that's a bit unfortunate that they downgraded some of those stats, but the cards are still so good and they're so cheap that it's making the market go crazy, and especially on these cards with all the packs that were opened yesterday and how high the pack weight is, it is just an absolute madness on this market right now. So I wanna take a look at all the cards that were dropped yesterday, and again, talk about how the market's gonna move today on Saturday, because again, like I mentioned, there's a really big grind for weakening with the later start time and with the later end time, but a lot of people still wanted to get those games in as soon as possible, that's gonna be impacting the market today as well. Also, I wanna know, let me know down in the comments, who did you pack yesterday? Cause I know yesterday, again, and even today with all of the packs, I opened up about half of my saved packs, I did pack some decent team of the seasons, Trent Alexander-Arnold is my biggest pull from my 85 times 20, packed Rajri, and a couple of the other Aeridivisi top cards which are in the mud price wise because of all that supply from yesterday. So if you're enjoying team of the season, make sure to thumbs up on the video and of course, subscribe if you're new. Let's just start from the top and take a look at all the content that was dropped yesterday with all of the cards once again. I know you guys have seen these, but I wanna take into account their prices as well and how these cards moved on the market yesterday because a lot of these guys were really low to start, they rose up and now they're even lower and they're gonna rise up a little bit into today on Saturday, I do believe. First of all, I think one of the most hyped up cards out of this team is actually Diogo Jota with the card that he did receive. 85 physical instead of 77, we knew that 77 from the leak was not correct, but this card started off in the first hour at about, I think it was in the 300K, yeah, the 370s range or even in the 330s, 340s, he did bounce up really high after that. Actually he was around 390 to 400K, that's where he was. I bought a couple of these at like 400, sold them at 500K. He dropped all the way back down. Yeah, this is the graph, right? He was low 400s, spiked to 500 and that was all the way back down. He was 350 just a bit ago and now he's rising back up into the day today. That was a really crazy movement. Trent Alexander Arnold was like 220, he went to 290, back down to 220. Dude, there's just been so many crazy fluctuations with these cards. Bruno Fernandez, which arguably is one of the most least hyped up cards from this team, he didn't get that big of a boost. They didn't upgrade his weak foot. He's only 181,000 coins. It is wild. I mean, look at this Todd's team in general, right? We have cards like 94 Bernardo Silva. We have a 95 Ruben Diaz who is 285,000 coins. We've got Allison, who actually has 91 speed. Is this like the highest speed stat of any goalkeeper that we've ever seen in the game? I wanna try this guy out because I'm assuming he is just so fast, it's unbelievable as a goalie.  It's gonna be absolutely crazy. So that's kind of one really interesting thing that we saw from yesterday that was a leak. That was actually true. Other than that, I mean, I was thinking Hyunmin Sun with this kind of card would end up being 1.2 to 1.3 million coins. That's what he was yesterday in the first hour, first couple hours. He went from 1.1 to 1.3 and is now at 900K.  The prices on these cards are crazy, crazy cheap. Now, of course, you do have some really expensive cards on the top tier, right? We've got Christiane Ronaldo, we've got Sadio Mane and we have a Mohamed Salad that do have some pretty spicy upgrades. Mohamed Salad, of course, not having the 99 stats like we were hoping to see from the earlier on leaks. I bought one of these tonight at 2.67 and he is getting rare and rebounding back up just because of how low he was getting earlier. But again, these cards are just so, so high. Mane getting the five star skill moves. I mean, there's really, it's just a big W from the cards that were dropped yesterday. Very fun, very usable upgrades. And again, what also makes it so fun and usable is how cheap and affordable these cards are. That's part of the amazing part of this is that we have so many cards that are under a million coins like Bernardo, Bruno, Rubin DS that people can just go out and try on their teams. It's an absolute W. So I have no problem with the cards that EA dropped yesterday in packs. Again, we would have liked to see those stats boosted just a bit more, I think. But really can't complain too much with that. Now let's talk about Tott's Flash SBCs because they're doing Flash SBCs as well, which is a big W. So if you guys have been watching these, we get a new one of these pretty soon. They've already released a 50K pack from the Tott's Flash Challenges. These have been decently easy so far and they've been really solid packs. This one with the 82 plus packs, probably the worst one that we've had so far. But again, like I said, we had a 50K pack and some other really solid ones in there. So that was nice. We also had, and I already did this SBC from my saved up packs, the Deli Alli SBC, which I wanna take a quick look at. I think this is, if I'm being completely honest, if you take the stats that are on this card and compare them to all the other midfielders that were released yesterday in the team, this card is one of the best, if not the best besides KDB of the midfielders dropped yesterday. Four-star, four-star upgrade for Deli Alli. Again, unique body type. He does have the outside foot shot trait. Doesn't have a ton of other traits, but 97 positioning, 99 heading accuracy, 97 composure, 97 ball control, 96 stamina. This card looks really good. And I know that 360K seems like a lot and the SBC seems pretty expensive.  I think this is a really solid card. Box-to-box midfielder. He's got the high medium work rates or a center attacking mid. You know, you can use him in a plethora of different areas on the pitch. I think it's gonna be a really, really good card to use and I think it's very craftable. And like I said, I think the price on this is gonna go up over the time that it is out. It's out for like two weeks, so it's out for a while. But again, if you take a look at fodder at the moment, fodder is absolutely in the bin. I mean, we talked about it yesterday where some of the high rated fodder might maintain its price and have a little bit of fluctuation because there is definitely some demand there for the higher tier SBCs. There was I think a little bit of fluctuation in these cards. You see that the 88s went down to about 18,000 coins. Now they're rising back up to about 21. That's not really that big of a fluctuation. But your lower tier fodder, like your 83s that were two to 3,000 coins are now back down under a K. You have 84s that are 2,000 coins a piece. Like I don't even remember when the last time 84s were 2K. Like 84s have not been 2K since January. And now we're back here. So these are 100% good buys in my opinion. You literally can't go wrong with buying 84s, especially after the SBCs that we had last week with the guaranteed totes SBCs that were lower rated. I think that trend could continue. And we're gonna have more player SBCs this week. You best believe that EA is gonna be releasing more types of upgrade packs slash Campbell SBCs. Again, usually as we see on the weekends, I think the 84s, the 85s and even the 86s are incredible, incredible areas to stock your club with on fodder this weekend. If you wanna go in on an investment as well and you don't mind being unassigned, then you can go for that. But I think a lot of people are not going to wanna be unassigned this week because of upgrade packs. That's also gonna be a key part of content that we will be looking forward to in the next couple of days. And you're gonna hear me talk about it a lot in the near future as well. What I would wanna do is if you're trying to get stacked up and ready for those upgrade packs. And again, the upgrade packs we're gonna expect will be the Premier League upgrade packs. So we'll be talking about the ones that will give out 12 players, 12 gold players, but they will be, I believe it is three rare. It's basically a 25K pack of all Premier League players. It's the same upgrade packs that we had during Team of the Year. I would expect to see those once again on this game. And I think that all you need to do to prepare for those upgrade packs, all you're gonna have to do for that is just get yourself some rares in the club. That's all it's gonna take. That's all you're gonna have to do. So if you wanna go out on the market and stock up on some gold rares, I think that's all you're gonna have to do. I don't think it's gonna have to be primarily gold rares. And I wonder if these are already up right now, a little bit in price, 750? No, they're still discards. So what I would honestly do is go out on the market. You can buy some Prem rares, stock your club if you want to. But if you're like me and a lot of other people on the game yesterday, your clubs are very full of gold rares because you guys opened packs yesterday. And that's the thing that I wanna talk about next is the pack weight was just absolutely incredible. If you take a look at the supply on this game, I mean, even for the goalkeeper, Allison, you just see pages and pages of supply. This might be one of the cheapest team of the season goalkeepers we have ever seen. This guy is 120,000 coins. He was just about 110K, all 90 stats. Again, like I mentioned, that is unbelievable for a goalkeeper card in this game. Trent Alexander Arnold, I think his card looks cracked as well. He's like 220, 230,000 coins. Probably gonna rise up a little bit this morning. Four star, four star, 90 defense. This looks like one of the best midfielders in the game with this body type, with the traits that he has. Yes, you can play him at right back, but he looks so, so great in so many different areas. Love that card. Again, another card that is really cheap that was just supplied into oblivion yesterday was Rubin Diaz.  Yes, I understand that the Team of the Year Rubin Diaz is better. There was a lot of panic selling on Team of the Year Diaz and Cancelo, but then they both rebounded for different reasons. But still, a center back of this caliber for 250,000 coins, which is probably where he's gonna be later today. Absolute W. So, when it comes to the value of the cards that are in Premier League Team this season, I think it's awesome. I know that you have some really expensive cards here at the top, Cristiano, you've got Mane, and Sala. I think those guys are gonna be dropping in price today, almost like assuredly they're gonna be dropping in price. But I think you're gonna see some rebounds first because also, what you're gonna see today is people waking up and they're gonna wanna go play some footchamps games. That's why I bought a Sala because I really think that Sala's gonna end up being three million coins again this morning. That's why I picked him up at two six, because I think he's gonna be there, right?  I picked up some Van Dykes at 700K flat, and I believe he is closing in on like, okay, Van Dyke is basically 800,000 coins. So the rare cards are the ones that have started to bounce first, but even on the lower tier too, Bernardo Silva was like 240,250,000 coins, and I believe he's approaching 270,280 at the moment.  I don't know if it's gonna be, if we're gonna be able to see it from this graph of the top's community cards from last week, but if you guys remember, Sala was one five on Friday, he was one, what does it say, one point three on Saturday, and then one point one on Sunday. These cards from Premier League team of the season are absolutely gonna drop off a bit more as we head throughout the weekend, just because, again, think about it, people are playing their week in the games, there's gonna be people that attain that 14-win threshold, they're gonna get the tradable tot's packs, that's gonna supply the market, there's also going to be people opening up more saved up packs, opening up lightning rounds, which EA is running so many lightning rounds, and that's why these cards are so heavily supplied on the market, and it's also contributing to why they're so cheap. So I think you're gonna see a small rise this morning on these tot's cards, then you're gonna see their prices dropping into the content drop, and afterwards as well, so be very careful with those, if you're trying them out today, if you're playing with them, just be ready to sell them if you need to, and to take the coins, but I do think you're gonna see a lower prices on these cards as we head throughout the later parts this weekend, that's just kinda how it goes with team of the season cards that are in packs. Now, one thing I haven't looked at is the AirDivisi tot's cards, these guys are in packs of course right now to look at the mad insane drops we've had on these. Graven Birch is 1.1 million coins on Thursday, yeah, right? We talked about this yesterday, but like guys, you gotta sell these cards. He's gone down 600,000 coins, he was 1.7 mil. He even rebounded to 1.4, and now he's down to 1.1. I'm gonna take a look at this because that is a really, really crazy drop. I think the drop on this card is obviously a combination of the panic selling, and of course just the supply continually coming in on a card like this after he's been packed now in packs for two insane Fridays with so much supply and also so much undercutting. So this card does look incredibly rare at the moment, and I don't know if the supply is glitching out on me. On a Graven Birch, I would assume that it is. Yeah, it's definitely glitching out on me, so GGCA sports, but you know what? This Graven Birch might bounce back up into the 1.2 range, so if I can snag one of these at like 1.1 mil, which he's 1.141, which is crazy. This card is still so good, even though he's been out in the game for, you know, two weeks or a week and a half now instead of one. But the moral of the story is, is that these cards dropped a lot as well, and they're gonna keep dropping today too because they're again in packs until tomorrow on Sunday, and people are gonna pack them from the tradable rewards that are a part of the 14 win rewards in the weekend league starting today. People are gonna get those 14 win cards. And again, last week, this is when you saw these guys dropping down a decent amount more too in price on this game. So that's kind of where I'm at with these cards. The Tots cards from the Premier League and the Area to Visit, both still in packs. Gonna have some rises today, but also I think we're gonna have some more drops in prices heading into basically later on today, later into tonight, Saturday night, into Sunday on this game. That's kind of what I'm expecting with these cards. Now let's talk about the out-of-packs market because Nate, look at Zaha. He has 440,000 coins. I sold two of these at 450 yesterday. Absolutely banged in price, but there was a window in here right around the content drop where you have these guys dropping a bit. I think because Zaha went to like 370 for a hot second, then he exploded to 450. Fred, I bought another Fred at 465k or something like that. He has now over 500,000 coins after yesterday. Yeah, see a little bit of panic right here in that first hour, right? And we talked about it yesterday too. That first hour on the market yesterday on Community Tots cards, on just the whole entire out-of-packs market, it was chaos, right? And that is exactly what we expected. We had guys like the Marcelo go from 1.5 mil where he is back to now, all the way down to 1.35, and now he is rebounded back up. A lot of your most meta and popular players had that sort of fluctuation. Martinelli is 600k. He was down to 480k, I believe, right? He went from 570 down to 480 and then exploded back to 600. It's the exact same thing that we saw last week during Community Tots happening in today or yesterday with Premier League. Now the only problem is, is those Premier League cards. Those are the ones that rebounded back up really heavily. You have some other cards that are absolutely mudded because they're not Premier League and the hype has kind of strayed away from some of those and it's now kind of strayed into, again, the Premier League cards. So you take a look at this Lucas Paqueta who is 380,000 coins, who is absolutely in the mud. A lot of the market, not some of the market, a lot of it. I mean, this guy's down almost 100,000 coins from yesterday after the big drops. Fikiris 200k flat. DiBala was like 800,000 coins to start off the day yesterday. He was 800k. He went all the way down to 670. He was even 660 for a minute and is now back up to 700,000 coins. But big drops on some cards that were out of packs just because everybody right now is trying, oh my goodness, Pedri is 850. Dog, what is this? He was a mill. Pedri was 1.05 yesterday. Dropped down to 900, rebounded up and then it's now 850. That is crazy to see some of these prices on the market. You're like, Nate, will some of these rebound maybe a little bit this morning as they're just rare and as people want to go out and of course, place some Weekend League today, you might see a few of these bounce back up.  If I see 830, which there's an 849 right there, that's so, so, so low. So I think with just your demand and some of these cards being used in Weekend League, you might see them pick up a little bit today on the market. But again, everybody's focused on Premier League. That's where the hype is right now with these brand new Tots cards being so cheap. That's what everybody wants to use and those are the cards that everybody wants to try out and that's why you're seeing a lot of the rest of the market really get destroyed in prices right now. Now, just a really quick word about this, Ronaldo, 5.1 mil, I think is too much. I think he should be in the low fours and I think he will get there later on to today. So that's just kind of a shout for him. So be very careful with that kind of card on the market today. Now, let's talk Saturday content for a second as well as we get towards the end of this video. We have a Harry Kane SVC that is leaked and we had the Delhi Alley yesterday. It would be right up EA's Alley to drop an SPC that would link to the Delhi Alley the day afterwards. We've actually had two English SPCs in a row, Joe Gomez, Delhi Alley, they could make it three today with Harry Kane. That's the only other leaked SPC card I believe that we do have. So today the big hype is gonna be around what player SPC are we gonna get. The flash challenges are still gonna be pretty hyped. I wouldn't expect like a new icon SPC today because of course the icon moments upgrade does not re-release until tomorrow on Sunday. We'll take a look at that then. But I think we could get a Harry Kane SPC today. Maybe another player SPC if he's not gonna be the one. And it might just be a little bit of a slower day. Saturdays have been slower days on FIFA. So it's just more of a time to grind your games to try out some of the new cards and of course to start getting those rewards. Now let's take a look at objectives really quick as well because you guys are like, Nate, what's going on here in objectives? Totsaka, W objective, it's 10 games I believe in the premier play life would friendly but that's a nice card. Really nice card for an objective item, 95 pace, 89 passing, nice defense and physical for a right mid that you could use in a lot of different places in the pitch as well. And then David Deheya gets himself that objective. Like we did mention we got both objective cards and Deheya gets himself a pretty nice item available from squad battles or rivals. Now let's talk tokens really. I can't believe I've waited this long in the video to talk about Totswaps. Make sure you take note of these team of the season swap cards and I wanna show you this graph because this is big, big information as well. This is a little bit of a tracker. There are four tokens released right now. One was free. One was from the Prem Challenge, SBC and then two from objectives, Deheya and Saka. Now these will not expire until later on in the week. So you have a few time or you have a little bit of time, few days to get those but make sure you keep track and follow with one of these swap token trackers. I'll probably show one of these every single day during the video so you can keep track of these because as it was leaked, the rewards are exactly as we expected and it's going to be 25 tokens given out with the rewards starting on the 20th of May. So the rewards for these are not out yet but you can start collecting the tokens. There's going to be 24 tokens released with one available in the store. We have not seen the store token yet. So far it's only been in objectives and SBCs. Now the only part that you have to be really careful with this is if EA were to drop one of these tokens in a flash challenge, that would be very, very careful. So make sure you're keeping it on these flash challenges on the companion app. If you're out and about on the go or whatever, just keep an eye on those because EA might be a bit sneaky and release a TOTS flash challenge that would contain one of these swaps cards. That would be a bit mean in my opinion but I could see them doing it. Who knows? So chat, honestly, I just refer to you guys as chat. We are not streaming. We are on the YouTube channel. That's my bad. But the market is an absolutely crazy place. I bought this Tiago for $494. We did make a lot of coins yesterday. Like I said, I bought a friend for $460, sold it for $550. I bought two Joe Coles at $615, sold them for $700. I have some Routigers, bought at $300. I still have a lot of cards, right? Van Dykes that I bought at $700,000 coins. He's now almost $800K. I think I bought like five or six Sonaldos, around $860 to $870 for most of them. Still have some Bruno's that I'm losing on. Have some Kyle Walker's that I'm doing pretty good on right now. A lot of gold fodder. And then some other random Premier League specials that I'm probably gonna take the coins on later this weekend. But the markets live in nice because a lot of these cards are just so hyped because they're Premier League links and all that sort of stuff. But there's gonna be some really, really good flips as I was just talking about with like the Gravenbridge and some of these other TOTS cards today on Saturday because there's still a lot of hype for people playing the Week in League and playing this game and using cards. And there's a lot of coins on this market now as well from all of the packs that were opened yesterday. So that's kind of an update on the market and everything that's going on. Number 12 on the TOTS counter. Again, like I mentioned, Trent Alexander-Arnold is my best pack pull. Rajri was my second best one. Other than that, it was just some of the lower tier AirDivisi and other TOTS cards. Not really any huge team this season guys yet, but we have a lot more packs to open and we'll be opening them on stream later on this week. Probably on Sunday, you'll see me open a decent more of those when we will next be streaming on Twitch. So let me know down in the comments again who you guys packed today from Prem Tots. If you got anything sick, I love to see it. But I've seen so many tweets already of people packing insane stuff. It's wild and I absolutely love it. So if you guys enjoyed the video today, smash thumbs up on it. Again, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate's Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace. Out.
