Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of prime comments. We have a jam-packed episode 21 videos meaning we have at least 21 different Comments to sift through extra long because we did not have a prime comments episode last week and I obviously am a day late So I included videos up until the podcast episode that I released earlier today Which you can check up in the little I I believe up in this corner up here of the video That being said Let's just hop right into it So I released a video a couple weeks ago said Nintendo Switch's localized voice chat in Splatoon 2 Landmode of Salmon Run and Michael Coons. I'm sorry for mispronouncing any names this time had this to say Very interesting So this means the switch has the possibility to use the mic from a headset with this in mind This is not a problem of hardware anymore It's only a question of programming and knowing it's just a problem of programming We should start to ask Nintendo why they take the relatively much time This is his words For an app around voice chat compared to just creating the voice chat Which they already created as we have heard in this video Which means they would only have to improve the programming behind the current voice chat and add more Functionality to make it work. They could maybe this is actually a little question about how many resources they have left over Even make native voice chat on the main OS to allow friends to open up a chat room and talk to each other While even playing different games or none at all Integrating the possibility of Bluetooth headsets would also be pretty simple Just make one headset take over one controller slot to stay inside the boundaries of Bluetooth and everything is fine They could have used a second controller slot for another headset And maybe even make it possible to have player one and player two audio separated the integration into the voice chat would of course be no problem I love my Nintendo switch So having all these additional functions would just give this little extra to my already pretty good experience and I generally agree with what you're saying. I think voice chat should be native on the switch I've always thought voice chat should be native to the Nintendo switch The fact you have to use a phone app a phone app that actually isn't that good for voice chat The actual functionality of voice chatting app is bad I realize it's going to get better over time and has to get better over time, right? Why would they I mean Nintendo's gonna be charging money and part of it is for access to this app? And if a functionality of the app isn't very good, it's not gonna feel like it's worth the money Even though it's only 20 bucks a year. I understand that's cheap, but yeah, it's it's definitely interesting I think voice chat over the phone should be an option I've always thought it should be an option and then the fact that the switch has literal proof it can do native voice chat There's no hardware restrictions for it. Nintendo just has to make the decision They want to do it and I don't even think it's us pushing them to do it That's going to make it happen I think it's gonna take a game like Call of Duty or some other massive multiplayer game coming to the switch Maybe it's Rocket League to convince Nintendo have those developers taught me look We really need this to be native on the console for the best possible experience for our users And I think Nintendo would eventually give in so yeah, I mostly agree with what you have to say Yeah, thanks for your comment this week A couple weeks ago, I'll suppose the video said that is Microsoft in Xbox the new Sega This was the second episode of outside the box and the mind of Thomas had this to say I think they will be the next Sega the Xbox one has been lagging behind the PlayStation 4 in sales for quite some time now And now both the switch and the PlayStation 4 are outselling it Plus the Xbox one X is going to be way too expensive for average consumers and hardcore gamers who care about graphics Will just build a powerful PC instead They're in a bad position at the moment and if that keeps up they will eventually give up and just go back to making PC games and That's the thing if they just go back to just making PC games That's not being Sega Sega when they bowed out of the console race They bounce back by becoming a multi-platform developer So if Microsoft backs out of the console race and all they do is make games on PC That's they I mean those PCs are running Windows that they already own the PC market They it's not really it's just changing the focus away from home consoles to PCs Rather than necessarily becoming a Sega that's why I think anyone who thinks Microsoft's gonna retreat the PC That's retreating the PC. That's not that's not what happened to Sega what happened to Sega is a very specific thing They stopped making home consoles and became a multi-platform developer now. I don't think that's going to happen anyways. I think Microsoft is gonna resign themselves to a smaller community. I think you know, you make a good point with the Xbox one X It's only gonna ring true with a certain consumer type and yes, you know, they could go gaming PC side Although right now you cannot build a gaming PC for as cheap as the Xbox one X that can perform as well as the Xbox one X but That's neither here nor there prices will come out eventually Prices on GPUs especially will come down once crypto mining slows down Crypto mining always seems to go through cycles on the internet So I'm hoping I'm assuming it'll slow down at some point next year, but at the same point The Xbox one X is still going to have think people, you know, it's gonna appeal to people I have no interest myself in putting a PC underneath my TV But I'm fine with putting an Xbox one X under there that can give me all the functionality I want all to my PC anyways while knowing that every single game released For that platform is going to play on that platform without me having to fiddle with anything And having a better smoother OS that's more in tune with the rest of the smart devices in my house So I think an Xbox one X makes sense if Nintendo or Nintendo if Microsoft just wants to target an upper echelon of Gaming consumers and I feel like that might be the future of what they had planned to do And if that's the case and yes, they're always gonna have a smaller install base But that's not the point the point is that that upper echelon of Consumers has a product built specifically for them rather than products being built to try to reach as many consumers as possible Which seems to be what Sony does and seems to be what Nintendo is doing currently moving on Couple weeks ago I was released a video about me verse Me verse and other Wii U features are being shut down in November and razor blade had this to say Me verse was a nice idea, but under Nintendo's administration. Me verse was a mess Me verse was full of irrelevant post false reporting in tons of restrictions. I'm no Sony fanboy here But me verse couldn't compete with how Sony handled online gaming communities It's sad and it has to go But I do hope Nintendo comes up with a better online social media feature for the switch that isn't on the smartphone And I find it interesting when anyone compares me verse to anything any other company has done Sony didn't create a Social media platform they used Facebook and Twitter which people already are on Same with with Xbox like everyone just used the already existing social media networks Nintendo was the only one to be like look we're gonna create our own social media network And I'm not saying it was perfect.  I think me verse had its own charm especially when it came to the amazing art people were able to create and I hate that it's gone and I don't think Nintendo is gonna take another crack at it because as we've seen With how their account systems work right now. You can already connect to Facebook and Twitter And other social media networks. So that tells me that Nintendo's embracing all the other social media networks They're not gonna have their own anymore And that's just the way it's gonna be me verse was great.  Short answer. Yes. I think there will not this year But I think next year or the year after there's a chance and I say that because call of duty It's not like, you know, Activision with Call of Duty has avoided Nintendo systems. I mean the Wii had Had Call of Duty games the Wii you had a call of duty game year one So I think Activision is just taking a slower approach This time around and they're waiting to see if there's going to be a big enough install base that cares about Call of Duty kind of games see how we they made multiple versions and they all sold over a million copies And I think that million copy threshold is where they are at to justify Releasing it on switch. So one, they want to see a bigger install base and two I think they want to see other third-party games that might cater to an audience like Call of Duty's Release in the platform to see how they do. So things like Skyrim, you know If those games la noir if those games can perform well and they even move a million units at this early stage I think that's when you're gonna see Activision be like look We're bringing Call of Duty next year to switch obviously that won't be announced to like e3 next year But yeah Call of Duty's coming to switch someday as long as the switch remains popular and keeps selling Moving on This switch passed a milestone in Japan and Breath of the Wild was ranked number one in the top 100 games of all time It's a video made for how then the switch passed 1.5 million units severely faster than the PlayStation 4 did and Fimitsu did a top 100 ranking thing and Breath of the Wild was number one And Victor Daniel Catlin had this to say Congrats Nintendo, but give us an amazing dungeon in the Champions Ballad By the way, do you think there will be more DLC released after the Champions Ballad? And of course the Champions Ballad is the final DLC pack coming to Breath of the Wild I obviously want there to be an amazingly huge dungeon. I would like to see Them not because we know there's a new dungeon coming. I hope when they say that they're not talking about a shrine If it's just one new shrine, I think that's going to be very disappointing even if it's like 10 20 new shrines I still think that's going to be rather disappointing when people hear dungeon They're thinking of the divine beasts and they're hoping that because the divine beasts were all tied into the original story That this new the secondary dungeon here or whatever it is is one of those massive labyrinths That people I think we're hoping would exist in Breath of the Wild So I definitely hope that they at least explore that idea and see where it takes them because I think the people on the team Must have had a lot of ideas for dungeons like that that weren't necessarily built around the divine beast and the Ganon mechanic now When I talk about DLC and more being released That really depends it depends on how quickly Nintendo wants to turn around a new game If they are going to have a quick follow-up to Breath of the Wild in 2019 I think we're done with DLC if they are not going to have Another you know Zelda game even land on switch or if they think there's a chance another Zelda game can't land on switch Or at least land exclusively on switch then I think Nintendo is going to be like look well We'll go another year DLC right now. They haven't announced anything There is a Nintendo direct later this week and I am planning to live stream it I think at this point If not that I'll still have a reaction video, but yeah, it's It's kind of cool kind of interesting Moving on I Covered the Nindies event and I said why I'm pumped about Nintendo switch exclusives golf story and Travis strikes again And Trevor Grover had this to say I don't get why people are excited over sports games like FIFA but I could see this golf story at least tries something that isn't just sports games and Golf story basically turns golf into an RPG like Super Mario RPG and it's understandable where there's some appeal there But I want to talk specifically about you know You don't understand why people get excited or sports games because I want those people that gets excited over sports games I'm buying NBA 2k 18 day one on switch and You're not gonna understand it if you're not a huge sports fan I think sports games, especially the simulation type really only appeal to people who are fans of the sports I'm a big NBA fan. So I love playing a simulated version of a sport I enjoy watching it's cool to play as my favorite players.  So it'll be interesting to see what can I do to bring them over to the top? Sometimes I do completely unrealistic things like oh, let me go get LeBron James who would never come to Milwaukee But sometimes I also like to be realistic like what kind of player would come to Milwaukee like could could they convince? You know someone like Kyrie Irving. They probably couldn't but you know what I mean Like like who could they convince to come over to the Bucks and put them over the top and what kind of roster build? It's a lot of fun for people who like sports. I love sports. So I love simulating. I love being part of it I love playing it. I love playing actual sports too. So yeah, it's it's just a lot of fun It's something you're not gonna understand if you're not in that ecosystem It's kind of like how some people don't understand how you can sit down and play this giant world the breath of the wild for hours On end because that's just not what they're into You know unless you are into it You're not really gonna grasp it and my fiance sometimes like that. She doesn't know why I like certain video games She doesn't get it. She actually gets the sports game thing because I'm a sports fan. So there you go Um There's another video this past week about how some switched physical games are gonna require micro SDX C cards and then I gave a little update on where I was that weekend because I skipped a couple days and Ray Lopez had this to say thank you Nintendo Prime You seem to be as unbiased as they come which sadly I have to point out I do think this is a legitimate concern of the switch I don't think this will plague any first-party games Well, that's probably even worse as the console already isn't as inviting to third parties as PlayStation 4 and Xbox one and First up. Thank you. I Want to note that I don't like the word unbiased because Literally we as human beings do not have the ability to be unbiased the only way That something is unbiased is if it's just a statement of facts There can't be really a conclusion unless it's a scientific conclusion So when or even a mathematical conclusion, obviously, you know four divided by two is two. I mean, there's no debate over that but Outside of those kind of conclusions when it comes to video games, you can't really Quantify things like that you can in the video game industry. You can't quantify it. There's bias and everything So even in this topic where I talk about switch physical games current SDX C cards and blah blah blah It's still an opinion It's still a bias of mine that I think the switch should have enough internal storage To be able to play any single game released on it I think when you buy the system out of the box, you should be able to Play any game released on the platform without having to buy anything else And the fact that you do have to buy something else for certain third-party games uh is a barrier and With no matter how much I I think that's the case and no matter how how well I articulate my opinions on it There's still opinions. Yes. There are facts that are behind the opinions a lot of people base Their opinions on what they believe to be facts or what are actual facts Most people don't just have opinions that have opinions I they they have what they feel are facts or are realistic facts But those facts are just some of the core basis of what your bias might become I have a bias towards nintendo. That's why I run a nintendo channel I recognize I have a bias towards nintendo And I try my best knowing that I have that bias to be open-minded about things that go against my thought perspective but at the same point I'm not unbiased no one is And I'm I'm glad that you think I'm at least level headed that that's what I I try to approach Any topic level as even keel as I can to try to see both sides, but I clearly Have my own personal Opinions and stances and that does seep into my work here. In fact, this whole channel is based around my opinions. So Take that for what you will but thank you for your comment I'm moving on I've done a video about our constant struggle with youtube and nintendo Dealing with copyright strikes and demonetization and all that stuff. Ironically that video was demonetized I was able to actually Request a manual review of that video and it got Re-monetized but by then I already had most of my viewership. So I didn't really make anything Welcome to youtube the new youtube And gabriel perello had this to say I personally can't support you right now other than watching your vids and adding to your views Liking and other kinds of youtube stuff. I'm assuming subscribing, right? But I love your channel and I would love to see you do well If you want suggestions for what you get for support on patreon Then open a chat on discord on something unless you already have one that I don't know about So yes, we do have a nintendo prime public discord I'll put a link to it down in the description. I just started adding links to it in the most recent videos I've created Realizing that I've never really advertised that we have it. So yes, we have a discord might even toss up the url The crazy url to to go to it right here in the video itself. But yeah, it's Definitely something that I value. I can't guarantee I'm personally going to be able to respond Keep hitting the microphone that I'm going to be able to respond to people Directly through there all the time I have in the past been talking to some fans on there But the bigger and bigger the discord channel gets the more and more It needs to be moderated by people that aren't myself and the more less and less I'm going to have time to respond to people in there I do have a community forum, but it's down right now until I can afford to pay the bill on that hoping Crossing my fingers won't cross my fingers by the end of the month. I I will have that done. But yeah Obviously the best way I always say to support us is just liking subscribing and watching our content and enjoying it and sharing it with your friends Uh beyond that obviously we have a patreon at patreon.com slash nintendo prime I appreciate any and all monetary support there or anyone who does super chats Or does any sort of donations while I livestream? I appreciate all that because all of that combined enables me to do what I do here Plus my second job, which I don't talk about a lot here because it's nothing to do with nintendo prime That second job. I would love to be able to quit someday and just do nintendo prime Because this is what i'm passionate about and this is where I want to be so moving on Oh and by the way, if you have any suggestions for patreon tiers or different rewards You guys out there would like for patreon that would get you to subscribe to our patreon or Let me know like the the one suggestion we had a couple months ago Was about adding a tier where people could pay a premium to be a guest on the podcast and someone actually took advantage of that In our most latest podcast and you're going to see that throughout this week So yeah, that's an obviously an excellent suggestion If you guys have any other suggestions for rewards for your patreon support In different tiers or different goals we should have let me know I'm all this is your community as much as it's my community So we should work together to find out what you guys want What you're willing to pay for and what you hope to get in return moving on 10th video halfway through nintendo loses a lawsuit that reminds us that the switch isn't immune And because the switch is currently going through a lawsuit and nintendo lost a lawsuit over the wee moats And donkey kong fan responded by saying thank you so much for not shouting doom and gloom for nintendo Yet you looked at the worst possible scenario and still said it wouldn't be the end of the switch with facts again another example where I clearly had bias in that conversation, but I felt like there was enough strong facts to suggest that We don't have anything to worry about with switch and if I feel like there's enough strong facts I'm going to give that to you guys and hopefully ease anyone's worries over it while not pretending that it's not like an issue It is an issue nintendo getting getting sued by the whether the patent troll or not Is always an issue and it's especially a bigger issue for nintendo than it is for any other consumers If we lose our products whatever there's always more products, but uh, yeah, it's Yeah, just thank you. I'm glad that people recognize some of the research and work I put into some of my videos All of my videos maybe moving on The 11th video of this prime comments Was the final fantasy 15's luminous engine doesn't run well on nintendo switch Again, this what this came from the people behind final 15 They said they tossed the engine on switch just to see what would happen and it didn't go well They know that it wasn't optimized or any of that And lo gain you biv to normal ablar had this to say Okay, am I the only person that doesn't want final fantasy 15 on switch in any capacity? I'd much rather see an Quality original ip on switch instead Trying to shoehorn playstation 4 and xbox one games on to switch seems like a recipe for failure And then michael crafter replied. Yeah, I don't want it either. I don't want it on playstation 4 I'm not going to want it on the switch Look back to the we and you see an awful lot of third party exclusives the system made money So third parties made games that appealed to the crowd. I think that's the kind of support We're going to see and I can't tell you how much I disagree with this notion.  But the expression essentially points out that I want my exclusive original ip's and I want my third party support as well I don't I don't think one needs to be compromised for the other right? We're going to get original ip's We already have in arms and there's going to be more and we're already going you know and think about I know mario plus rabbits technically isn't an original ip But it's definitely an original spin-off of the mario and rabbit series an original crossover that looks absolutely fantastic I mean, it doesn't just look fantastic. I did a review of it And I think it's the best switch exclusive right now And if you look at what third parties did on we while there were some some gems, you know We had the no more hero series. We had a little king story mad world Those games in particular didn't necessarily perform that well the games that did perform well were things like just dance and That's the kind of future you want for switch. I As much as I love just dance. I own just dance 2017 I live streamed me playing just dance 2017 on the switch not too long ago I know that video is not public. So you can't watch this fat guy playing just dance What is key I think in all of this is That there's no right or wrong for For what you want on the switch like just because you don't want final fantasy 15 or other PlayStation 4 and xbox one ports Doesn't make it wrong for other people like myself to want them So yeah Again, there's no right or wrong here. I just I don't see that anything wrong with asking for everything Uh, I mean taking all these games on the go is just such an enticing prospect to me Yeah, I don't know. I I just really disagree with what you guys had to say Uh, the twelfth video from this past week. Let's talk about purposeful shortages of nintendo switch amiibo nes and s and nsnes classes Obviously that was just a talking point Where I was just talking about all the different shortages and why I don't think that You can blanket them all together. I think each individual shortage issue has its own concerns It does present an overall problem at nintendo that these concerns keep happening Uh and rm underscore prime said that people who understand how things are made already realized This is the problem the thing that the people who think nintendo employ golden geese that produce ready to ship consoles every five minutes Are also a problem just make more It isn't easy Getting the parts from the companies then having them delivered to the factory in china Then shipping them out worldwide takes a lot of time And it's not just getting the parts and assembly and shipping everyone has to deal with that It's more so the scarcity of the parts when it's really hard to get a hold of the nand flash memory chips So really hard to get a hold of some of the tech behind the hd rumble You can have all the manufacturing ready to go in the world to throw it all together But if you're if your orders are not being fully fulfilled with the proper parts to build a switch You're going to have a I guess what do they call that a bottleneck right? You're going to have a bottleneck in the manufacturing process that nintendo unfortunately can't do anything about because of the worldwide shortages So with the worldwide shortage is happening nintendo is just kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place When it comes to dealing with this and it sucks And i'm hoping that it's solved by next year at some point 13th video from this past week the pokemon ceo talked about pokemon on switch And why they are tepid on the system's success and some guy responded by saying this seems sort of clickbaity He said he thought it would fail, but he also admitted he was wrong He also said that we shouldn't overestimate it, but that's a far cry from unenthusiastic just common sense and I don't think If you just take the words that that he said out of context Forget everything else he said if you just look at his words about how we thought the switch wouldn't succeed He admitted he was wrong. It is clearly a success, but then he says, you know, people should still temper their expectations I Look at that on its own as fine. That's not negative, right? That's not a tepid response But squeezed in between those remarks. I literally in between them is this big long enthusiastic Uh chat rant, whatever you want to call it about ar, right? Like he can't just stay on the switch. He like quickly Uh turns from talking about how how he was wrong about switch to oh, but ar is going to be amazing And there's all these great ideas I have for ar and ar this and ar that pokemon go and blah blah blah blah And by the way, you should temper your expectations on the switch Like it's sandwiching all that stuff putting it in context that shows that's clearly where he was excited And the switch portions of the interview were definitely where he didn't seem that enthusiastic at all So in context with the whole interview, uh, he definitely was not very enthusiastic about the switch hence my Uh phrasing of him being tepid. Uh, if you think that's clickbaity, I can't do anything about that I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with clickbait as long as it's truthful to what has been presented Obviously this term you were using clickbaity as it not being truthful But that's my take. You're free to disagree with my take. That's okay. I'm cool with people disagreeing with me Uh, the 14th video from the specific all the way to the war is coming to the Nintendo switch with all dlc and unique features By the way, it's also 10 dollars more expensive for the physical version on switch. Just throwing that out there Uh, komo had this to say this is everything we could want or need for a third party AAA release on switch This is the full game with dlc and it has use of the joy con hd rumble and touch screen features If other titles like this fall suit the switch could be a huge success Uh, yeah, I think any port Uh to switch or any new release to switch any multiple release. This is what you want What's happening with this is more ideal than what's happening with mba 2 k 18 Although you'd like to see pricing parity There's also that point where people are starting to say, you know digital games should cost less than physical Well, it would be interesting if they started applying this to other systems besides nintendo Clearly it costs more for the physical version because cartridges cost more But let's say they charge 50 bucks for la no r on xbox one before the digitally that actually makes a lot of sense Uh, I'm not I'm not actually advocating to increase the price of xbox one PlayStation 4 Anything I'd like them to sell the physical version for 40 and the digital for 30, but it's still one of those things where This is definitely the way I want third parties to treat nintendo And I mean come on. We're talking about rock star rock star games is releasing one of their big games on switch That's just Older or not. That's that's just awesome. It's just as as mind blowing to me a skyrim coming Whoever thought those kind of games would be coming to a nintendo platform like ever Moving on The 15th video from this past week nintendo can't guarantee nintendo switch stock for the holidays And joshua jones responded by saying what you're not saying is what enough is The system is outselling the playstation 4 just about three to one in japan compared to their first six months And then the u.s. Is selling out as soon as it's stocked you make it sound like this is a stock problem When in fact, it's a demand problem if they release three million units pulling them out of their arse Basically, they would sell all three million unless they somehow managed to pull five million units worldwide out of thin air They will not be able to keep up with demand It's hot as heck right now and they are pushing around one million units each month And they still sell out like they put out 2000 Examine all the facts not just the negative buzz. This is bad for all people that want one this holiday But on the other hand, this is great for continued support from nintendo triple a third parties and indies And I did respond to him, but I wanted to talk about this again because I wanted to make a broader response that more people can hear The facts of the situation out of the nintendo switch is not selling a million units every month Period outside of the launch month. It has yet to sell a million units in any single month since release And that's because of a stock issue number two I never Called demand an issue If there is not enough stock to meet demand that's a stock problem. That's a manufacturing problem. That's a nintendo problem It's not the fault that consumers want to buy something You can have unplanned successes and you could argue that the demand was unplanned but they've known that the switch was in high demand since it launched in march and they haven't been able to fix the problem And that means the problem rests somewhere in the manufacturing line again We kind of know it's because of the nand flash shortage primarily and that nintendo is kind of restricted But yeah, it's it's just it's out there. It's a thing Uh, I did examine all the facts of the situation if I'm being honest Uh, and I'm not just taking advantage of negative buzz. I don't think there's things that's just taking advantage of negative buzz That's just my reaction to it. So it plus I have plenty of positive stuff on this channel. Come on now. Come on now Moving on Moving on to our 16th video this past week. Almost there folks 21 videos. Remember switches storage issue is showing that many gamers Still don't understand the system and this is a little respond I made to a video created by richard review tech usa and nintendo enthusiast article um and Rain the insane had this to say that flying battery gameplay was painful and this is referring to my sonic mania gameplay of the flying battery level that I had playing in the background of the video and Yeah, it was pretty bad I admit that I forgot how to play sonic games I have not played a traditional 2d side scrolling sonic game since I was a very little kid and I probably wasn't very I mean, I thought I was awesome, but I probably wasn't very good at sonic games back then either Uh, you know, there are a lot of people giving me tips. Thank you so much for the tips Things like when you're running and you go upside down on the wall Just keep pushing your control stick in the same direction because the controls are inverted when you're on the wall Which to me is still hard to wrap my mind around. That's how the controls work But it makes a lot of sense and it obviously would have fixed a lot of the issues I was having playing sonic mania, uh specifically that level and I just want to note that I don't always Am I good at every game I play right? You're gonna see me play a lot of games on this channel that i'm not any good at because I don't play those games very often Probably the game that I play the most often is Breath of the Wild And even then I'm not gonna admit I'm the most skillful gamer I'm not here at Nintendo Prime because I am the most skillful gamer in the world I'm just very very passionate about Nintendo games and video games in general. So Yeah, I mean I don't I guess I don't I'm not gonna apologize for being bad Um, I still had a good time, right? Isn't that why we play games to have a good time bad or not? You know, how many people have complained about the fact that I don't use motion controls as we're doing to? Oh watching you not use motion controls is so painful cares. I'm having a good time You don't have to play that way. It's all good Anyways moving on Uh video number 17 mario plus rabbits king the battle review of the best switch exclusive. I think it is Uh, yeah, we had our first ever review first ever a video review Had a lot of useful feedback on there, especially in terms of like reading things, you know, because obviously you you write your script and there Everyone's reading the script But sometimes you want to put some improv sessions in there and you want to make things sound more natural Uh, if you guys don't know outside of when I'm like reading a quote or something A lot of the videos I create here are completely off the cuff and I do that on purpose because I know I am bad at reading a script and making it sound natural, but uh Yeah, it is something I'm gonna have to improve for reviews because reviews are really hard to do off the cuff Uh because you need to compile your thoughts In a more concise manner. Otherwise you'll end up with like a five-hour review for me and I might repeat myself like seven times So, uh, and I know there's some people that enjoy those really really long reviews like hello matthew matthosus, but uh Yeah king shadow omega had this to say at nintendo prime good review But I think you should at least put a spoiler free section in the beginning of the video With quick bullet points because at the end of the day Well, I understand you wanting to give the best review possible It doesn't change a huge amount of people watch reviews that decide that they should buy the game for me It doesn't matter since I already bought it lol and Good point. There are quite a few people who Uh, I mean they weren't They didn't feel bad about my review because I mentioned at the beginning of the review I'm gonna spoil stuff and I don't care because uh, I My stance on reviews is that there's plenty of reviews out there that try to be as spoiler free as possible And what's a spoiler for someone isn't a spoiler for somebody else? And there's all this fine dancing I used to have to deal with this at zelda informer, you know when we're talking about zelda games Even if we're not reviewing we're just writing a news poster. We're writing an editorial You know, where's that fine line between when we need a spoiler warning stuff when we need to not spoil the warning When we shouldn't even talk about something when we should and obviously the obvious thing Oh, don't talk about story But then some people like yeah, but I need to know a little bit of the story to know if I'm interested And what what bits do you want to know? And I won't avoid all that at nintendo prime nintendo prime I'm just going to review the game and it's going to have spoilers. There's going to be footage of spoilers There's going to be what I talk about something's gonna talk about spoilers now I didn't actually spoil much of the story in mario plus rabbits Beyond like the very beginning Because I didn't feel like I needed to to review this game the story It was not it's not the reason to continue playing this game, right? It's not the primary reason. It's good It's really good and it should be Something all mario games aspire to I think but it's still not What I think is the main selling point and the main thing to review in the game So I literally just described how zany the story was and then I'm like it's good. Just trust me You'll see it for yourself And I even showed off a boss fight or part of a boss fight Even part of the ending boss fight that No one seemed to react negatively to and I think that's the way it's going to be now for your suggestion to put bullet points at the front I feel like maybe that is something I can look into Being just saying look all my reviews are always going to be full of full of spoilers But before I get into them, I could just run a bullet point run down like a quick summary That will help people to determine if they want to buy it. I guess I could try to serve both crowds There are other suggestions out there that maybe I should do like a spoiler free version and then wait a few weeks and then do like You know an all out version Uh, and I feel like there's points of that with the podcast We're like we'll talk about a game, but then like there's a certain point, you know I haven't decided but maybe it's a month or two months later that we can take down the spoiler wall and just Not worry about spoiling things anymore. We do need to have some sort of Thing for that for for like a podcast, but for reviews, I'm always going to warn their spoilers Maybe I'll consider putting a little quick summary at the beginning of the review instead of at the end Yeah, I actually see some value in that where I could try to serve both crowds of one video Just so you know reviews are a lot of work that review video for Mario plus Rabbids kingdom medal is probably the video that I put the most amount of work into because not only did I have to To spend 55 I mean I had to spend 55 hours But I chose to spend 55 hours playing the game and I had to play a lot of the game And I took away a lot of my personal life and a lot of my free time To get through the game and get everything done that I wanted to get done in it for a review So I could have it done within the first couple weeks of release rather than waiting months and months On top of that recording all the footage. I actually discovered in creative reviews that I have nowhere near enough storage I have like I have a one terabyte external hard drive I have a one terabyte internal plus a 500 gigabyte SSD and I usually don't have any problems of videos like this, but Yeah, recording all the footage and getting everything set at 1080p 60 fps and all this stuff was very very hard On my storage limitations And I had to delete some files I nearly didn't want to delete because I just had no other way to store it I even tried storing in the cloud, but I have limited cloud storage It's it's just a big mess Reviews are really really hard work to do And I hope you appreciate it because I knew the review is going to be one of our lowest viewed videos Again at the time of time we're posting this was like 1.1 thousand views or 1.100 views or whatever it is 1,100 views 1,100 views and that's a really low view videos or the amount of work compared to the viewership Um Is not good and it would suggest I shouldn't do reviews Uh, but I think reviews could be an important part of our channel moving forward And I'm hoping that you guys support it and maybe that's a future patreon tier I could do where Um, you know, I'll only make reviews if people support a certain tier and I will review the games that they asked me to review Whether it's indie game or that's a new nintendo game mba 2k 18 I have some interest in reviewing that whatever it might be But yeah, I I enjoyed making the review It seems like a lot of people thought the the content of the review That's the most important part whether or not I sucked at reading it Whether or not my my editing skills with the footage was great People thought the actual review the the little words I had to say were really really good That's the most important part of review. So I'm really glad I nailed that Um It took so many drafts for me to to get that review to where I wanted to be and even then I still had some mistakes Like I called it a boy's room where it was actually a girl's room like a girl genius Um, that's my fault. I didn't take any notes and I didn't replay the beginning to double check, but uh, yeah Yeah, hopefully reviews are our mainstay here and we'll get better Uh 18 video from this past week nintendo switch may have a universal achievement system in the works this is a rumor it comes from an indie developer and uh kvk if one Uh, kivik if I can who knows uh, he said I don't feel safe getting these achievements when your account could be potentially deleted If someone stole my switch or I got hacked it could get deleted I prefer the playstation accounts that don't get deleted. I'm not a sony fangirl I have a playstation 4 and a switch, but how can you delete your account so easily on the 3ds worries me? uh, yeah I don't think it's actually easier to delete accounts on on 3ds and switch The end is playstation 4. I've deleted playstation 4 accounts before really was pretty simple uh, I think the difference isn't isn't the What scares me about nintendo's account system Uh, that we don't have confirmed yet is that it's not a universal account system, right? You can't use your account on multiple switches And because of that if you damage your switch if you lose your switch It's really hard to get that account on another system Now nintendo of america and customer support might help you do that as I did with we you and 3ds But it's still a really scary thought that everything is tied to a system and an account and it's easy to Lose access to that account And that's what makes achievements and even an all digital future very very difficult on nintendo platforms now I think nintendo is you know, they have everything set up now The way the the nintendo account works now is very much like a universal account system without some of the capabilities of that So nintendo just has to decide to enable it and I hope they will And yeah, I understand your concerns Um, but again, I think nintendo already has the systems in place to address those concerns Let's just hope they address them by the time they launch their online paid online next year Moving on to video number 19 and it says let's talk about the digital future of nintendo switch Again another talk about the storage and all that stuff and there's a little bit of a conversation here Um iporion had this to say this snipper clips gameplay hurts to watch I was playing snipper clips for that video Um, and then I replied it's just a pain in the butt to play solo The game is so much better in co-op and seriously snipper clips is amazing in co-op And I haven't touched the game in nearly five months and then joshua werner replied is nintendo prime good at any game lol and This gets back to the point earlier made about my uh sonic mania gameplay I'm not good at a lot of games I mean I know there's a controversy going on there right now because there was a certain uh journalist Who posted some footage of him playing the demo of cuphead and they couldn't even get like the basic premise Of hitting the jump button while pressing over on a control stick at the same time like that's Some really really basic video game 101 Uh, and I feel like that's not something I struggle with but there are games I don't play very often like snipper clips Like I got really good at snipper clips for a little while and then I haven't played it in five months So I kind of forgot all the controls and on top of that that was the like first time I had ever played snipper clips solo. So I had no idea how to switch characters I had no idea if there were any limitations. It turns out there's not any limitations It's just really annoying and it's definitely like overcooked. It's a game that's best played multiplayer Uh, but yeah, it's Sorry about that. I'm I promise I'm actually a lot better at snipper clips Uh than you think and as for josh, you know, am I good at any game? I mean some of my breath of the wild live streams. I like to think I I did pretty well I'm definitely not an expert as an example. I've never beaten a lionel I will obviously need to be doing that in my 100 breath of the wild master mode run So I'm actually choosing to finally defeat a lionel and defeat the lionels when they are the absolute hardest In master mode, but whatever I have a good time and I'm not the best zelda player in the world I'm not the best mario player. I'm not the best any player. I mean, I play a lot of madden. I'm not the best madden player Uh, I don't profess to be the highest skill gamer out there or even a professional level gamer I am a gaming enthusiast. I love playing video games I do not get to play them as much as I want now that I'm a father and that does lead to my skills deteriorating plus 31 I think I've realized my hand-eye coordination isn't as good as it was when I was a teenager Uh, and maybe that's why you see it most professional gamers are teens to mid 20s Uh, because that's like the peak of your hand-eye coordination ability. Uh, there is a delay as you get older But yeah, I My lack of skills of these games aren't because I lack a hand-eye coordination It's just me being stupid and not knowing what I'm doing Me not playing the games enough and you'll find that a lot with games I play Like double dragon 4 that I played on a video It might not have looked like I was doing bad, but I was doing bad I used to play a ton of double dragon as a kid, especially double dragon 2 And I totally forgot how that game controls how to grab people and pin them down and start kneeing them And then chucking them over my back that used to be a move I did all the time I used to always do the jumping and flying kicks everywhere And I found myself struggling to do that now because it's just been so long since I've had to do it That it's it's not like riding a bike, right? You played a lot of double dragon as a kid. You should be just as good as it now as you were back then That's not really how it is I'm just as good at riding a bike now as I was when I was a kid for the most part Uh Yeah, actually, I think I've almost exactly as good as I was maybe I can't ride for as long a distance anymore But uh, yeah, it's video games aren't always like that. It's always not like like riding a bike Sometimes it just takes a while for me to pick it up And if I the more and more I play a sonic mania the more and more I play a snipper clips and any other game The better I hope you see me become even in my run of sonic mania Well, I didn't figure out that you kept the directional Joystick pushed in the same direction when you go upside down. I never figured that on my gameplay I definitely improved throughout that video in terms of my performance in the levels and that's what I always look for in games and Generally, I play video games to have a good time as long as I'm having a good time. It doesn't matter if I'm good at the game so Yeah Uh moving on video number 20 do game devs have right to take out videos They don't like and I have to be really careful on this one It's another episode outside the box because it deals with some touchy topics that youtube does not like people talking about Um, so I stuck to a comment that I feel is pretty safe youtube. Please. Please don't demonetize this video Um, alex crystal 13 Just a small correction. It's digital homicide that went after jim sterling not digital revolver good video anyways Yes, sorry about that. I thought when I was editing the video that digital revolver didn't sound right I knew it was digital something and Digital revolver just rolled off my tongue and while I was editing my man Was that really it? I could have looked it up and changed it But I wasn't kind of a rush to get that video out Digital homicide obviously Was the company that went after jim sterling for his opinions on their games and tried to dmc It claimed things and demonetized and then eventually sue for defamation and a whole bunch of Whole bunch of stuff that ended up not holding up in the court of law and was a win in general for all of youtube um But yeah, it's uh Very very interesting how that all played out It's very interesting to see what's going to play out with the current situation If you haven't watched the video go watch it. I don't want to talk about it here because again youtube does not like it Uh our last video the playstation 4 handheld could exist Does it impact the nintendo switch and this is from the nintendo prime podcast episode 32 part 1 And as a reminder you can get early access to every single episode of the nintendo prime podcast At patreon.com slash nintendo prime for five dollars a month you subscribe you gain access That's one of the main things we have going on at patreon. Uh in fact most of our backers on patreon are of the $5 variety And this comes from couch gaming news All I hear is nintendo fans getting scared because they know if sony were to do this Then it would kill the switch because companies will all flock to the playstation 4 like the past Most third-party games are on the playstation 4 I disagree Uh, obviously not the fact that most third-party games on playstation 4 and pc and xbox one. That's completely true Uh, even if a portable playstation 4 existed or something close like, you know Even if it's not the power of playstation 4 but somewhere in between And in between a playstation 4 and a switch is one time on and they they pull that off with amd tech and they're doing all this cool things I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think that Uh that doesn't spell doom like i'm not scared as a nintendo fan. I even said in the podcast I hope that this thing releases it should exist nintendo needs competition in the mobile space Without that competition besides from mobile phones, obviously like dedicated gaming gaming space without competition Nintendo is left on an island to kind of do as they please and when nintendo is left on that island to do as they please They don't always do a very good job voice chat is an example So i'm hoping that it comes in because competition will breed excellence And yes, it'll get third-party stuff that maybe the switch doesn't but it can also push nintendo to improve the switch In many ways that are pro consumer And i'm not worried about the success of nintendo now Let me know pokemons coming if they can convince the next monster hunter game not worlds But the next big monster hunter game to also come to switch Uh and you know any you know yokai watch and all these other popular handheld games Bring back ace attorney and stuff. I think they'll be fine nintendo has dominated in the handheld space for practically 30 years at this point I think it's premature to worry about another playstation system portable ruining nintendo's success in the handheld space They've already tried it twice and couldn't do it Uh, you know sega tried it a lot of other companies have tried going tour the tour of nintendo in the handheld space And nintendo is the only one that's still doing it consistently So the only one who's really ever done it consistently and obviously, you know I'm not going to say you're talking about how the psv a tank to blah blah I don't know that's relevant to this conversation because mistakes happen. I mean the wii u tanked Nintendo's still here still making game systems still technically making home consoles so Anyways folks that's going to do it for this episode of prime comments. I hope I had no idea how long this is I hope I was able to condense it and the longest prime comments episode ever has been an hour This is 21 videos two weeks for the videos. I am exhausted Time to get editing. I love you guys. Thank you so much for your support Uh, and as always if you have any suggestions to improve our patreon or give you any tiers on patreon That you want to see happen that could Add value to your experience at nintendo prime. Let me know. I'm open to any and all suggestions I love this place. I hope you love it too. I will see you guys in the next one


Kay Burley, Sky News' most high-profile presenter is the latest public figure who's been caught breaking COVID rules. So it was revealed earlier in the week that last Saturday, Burley celebrated her birthday by breaking the rules on free occasions. So first, by meeting with multiple households in a restaurant, then by meeting multiple households in a club, and then at someone's house. Now, on Thursday, it was announced that because of her breaches of COVID rules, Burley will be taken off air for six months. Quite a serious punishment, actually. It's unclear whether she'll be paid during that period. There were two other colleagues who were also in attendance, political editor Beth Rigby and North of England correspondent Inzamam Rashid, who have been taken off air for three months, I suppose, because it wasn't their party. They've had a slightly lower punishment. Let's go through what actually happened. And we're going to talk about the morality of this. Was it right that they've been taken off six months? What were they thinking? The best way to go into this story is, I'm afraid, via Guido Forks. They broke the story. They're right-wing gossip columnists. But that does mean, not coincidentally, I think that they're very well connected in Westminster. How do you get very well connected in Westminster?  They're right. Lots of fun was had in Soho's swanky century club on Saturday night, where a star-studied group of 10 gathered to celebrate glamorous Kay Burley's upcoming 60th birthday. Guido refuses to believe she has a day over 49. The glitzy group, including on-screen talent Beth Rigby and Inzamam Rashid and Sam Washington, spanned across two tables in the Discrete Club, one table of six and one of four. When the curfew curtain fell on Frivolities at the Century Club, a smaller group went on to the in-demand Soho restaurant Foley, whose fashionable and handsome owner Guillem de Poir had appeared on Kay's sky show earlier in the week. Finally, four of the original party wound up at Kay's West London home, including a Guido, as Guido understands, Sky Reporter Inzamam Rashid and former Sky News employee Paul Harrison now working for Huawei. Now, you can see here there are three clear breaches of the rules. We can go through them one by one. Now, this all matters. These are breaches of the rules because London is subject to tier two COVID restrictions. It was subject to tier two COVID restrictions at the time of this event. Now, in tier two COVID restrictions, you can eat inside a restaurant, but not with people outside of your own household. So in tier two, the rules are that you can only meet people outside your household socially. Work is different socially if you're outside. If you're inside, you're breaking the rule, you're in your support bubble, and that can only be one person who lives in a single household. So that clearly wasn't the case here. Now, on this night out, that rule was broken first in the restaurant because there was more than one household, then in the club because there was more than one household, and then in the West London home because there was more than one household.  But what I think is slightly odd about this, and again, I'm not really here to moralize about this, what I think is surprising about this is what they were, you know, how did they think they were going to get away with this? These people are quite famous. So Kay Burley, very famous, and Befric be very famous, and people know they don't live together, right? So they went for a meal out in central London, and they didn't think they'd get called out on it. Very bizarre. Now, potentially, the reason is because these top news hosts, these top political reporters, didn't know the rules. So Kay Burley tweeted in response to this story breaking on Monday. She tweeted this, Evening everyone, I want to apologize to you all for an error of judgment. On Saturday night, I was enjoying my 60th birthday at a COVID compliant restaurant. I'm embarrassed to say that later in the evening, I inadvertently broke the rules. I had been waiting for a taxi at 11 p.m. to get home. Desperate for the loo, I briefly popped into another restaurant to spend a penny. I can only apologize. Now, this is really weird, right? It's really weird because she doesn't seem to understand remotely what the tier two COVID rules are. So for one, a COVID secure restaurant, yes, for one, I don't think any restaurants are really COVID secure. But that's another issue. But if you're in a COVID secure restaurant, you have to be eating with people in your own household. And you would have thought she probably should have known that soon as she's grilling government politicians every morning, right? You'd also have thought, given she was out with Beth Rigby, whose job it literally is to question the politicians at those Downing Street press conference would have known that. The second one, what I think is weirder though, is why does she think that going into a restaurant to pee was the rule break? I mean, nowhere in the rules does it say you're allowed to go into one restaurant but not two restaurants. It says what the rules are concerned with is how many people you go into the restaurant with. So I can't possibly see how she thought that the reason she'd broken the rule was because she peed in a restaurant. It doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway, by last night she understood the COVID restrictions.  Let's get up her statement from yesterday, from Thursday. I have today agreed with Sky News to step back from my broadcasting role for a period of reflection. It's clear to me that we are all in the fight against COVID-19 and that we all have a duty to stick firmly by the rules. It doesn't matter that I thought it was COVID-compliant on a recent social event. The fact is I was wrong. I made a big mistake and I am sorry. Some dear friends and colleagues, some of the most talented and committed professionals in our business have been pulled into this episode and I regret this enormously. I was one of the founding presenters on Sky News. No one is proud of our channel's reputation and the professionals on our team and the impact that we make. She's very looking forward to working for Sky News in the future. She's still working for them. She's just not on air. And especially since what Dominic Cummings did, I know that many people are breaking those rules at the moment. I think a birthday meal with 10 people, I don't think many people have broken the rules to that extent, but I think people going to the pub with someone outside of their house, I think a lot of people are doing that right now. But what's bizarre to me is yet that you've got the political editor of Sky News. You've got their most high-profile presenter who's most responsible for interviewing the government ministers. That's Kay Burley, the north of England correspondent who should understand the tier system because they've had the tier system up there. It's been very controversial in the north of England. And none of them understood the rules. You know, we know that households are like pantry dishes and I know that it is getting very... And I also think it is absolutely mad that they didn't think that this would backfire.  Primarily I'm careful because I have two parents working in frontline healthcare who are in their mid-to-late 60s and I'm scared shitless about the scale of infections. But also because I'm just like, I don't want anyone to see me and think that I'm careless about things like that. But I do get that it is getting tier system. I understand that we've been doing this for a really long time and it feels, for some reason, the rules feel a little bit more bendable now than they did to begin with. But unfortunately, I think it's still really important. And I still think that the fact that we can eat inside restaurants when there are 500 people dying a day, I don't think that makes sense. It's a personal opinion. I think that that is really irresponsible. And I come from that position as well as someone who, again, like I have parents, I'm genuinely who are kind of in that front line. And the snitchery of the story does go against my core instincts. But now that it's out there, I think that it was important that she was publicly kind of reprimanded for that because when Dominic Cummings wasn't, that was, I think, a huge turning point in compliance because as I sort of mentioned before, the ability to carry out these public health measures and the ability to keep the infections low through these measures is not going to be from arresting or finding every single person that breaks the rules. It takes the public buying into and finding reasons of being compelled to voluntarily comply. And part of that has to be that people in the public eye are kind of responsible for not kind of doing those public breaches. Maybe I'm a little bit more conservative on this than you are. And I really do think like, please don't drink inside pubs with people that aren't in your household like just coming from my own perspective. But yeah, I think that this was probably just about the right level of punishment. I think firing her might be a little bit too far. But yeah, I do generally agree that these things have to be taken really, really seriously and that this laxness does not come from an objective reality. It doesn't come from this idea that the vaccine is less lethal or that we don't have as many people dying or that the transmission isn't as high. It comes from a kind of loss of public faith and loss of the public buying into why we need to do this. And that's actually ironically partly the fault of the fact that the media is not reporting the number of cases anymore. It makes people feel that it has gone away. But for those of us with family members and friends who are in the thick of this, it absolutely has not gone away.  I think that's all very much fair enough. I suppose to clarify, I do think that absolutely the vaccine is not here. People 100% should be taking the rules seriously and they should be taking more fundamentally actually than the rules I think is being sensible. Even if something is allowed, maybe don't do it if it's really risky. I think sometimes we sort of approach this from an interesting way in this country which is all about what's in the letter of the laws and not actually the general principle is don't hang out with lots of people in an enclosed space and that's why I think I agree with you on restaurants to be honest because the government have made this big deal out of you can only eat in a restaurant with people from your own household which I think most people understand the government kind of knew wouldn't happen because otherwise the restaurants wouldn't do very well because most people eat out with someone not from their own household. Otherwise you get a takeaway. But you can also catch COVID if you're not sitting on the same table as someone. This is an airborne disease. It doesn't really care if you're sitting on the same table as someone or if you're sitting on the next table to them. I was reading an article that South Korean scientists had properly looked at the history of all the different transmissions of COVID-19 and they'd understood that people can catch COVID-19 when they're six meters away from people for 15 minutes in a restaurant. So the fact that they're open at all is pretty bizarre. We're going to go on to some more beef within Skye in a moment. First of all, if you're enjoying this show, do subscribe to the channel. As you know, we go live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7pm and we put out content every day. So the way to get notified about it is to hit that button. I told you more beef within Skye News. Adam Bolton, so he's probably along with Kay Burley, the most high-profile Skye presenter. He's also been there from the start, also the editor at large. And he, before Kay Burley was taken off air for six months, or she was taken on air actually from this incident, but before it was announced it would be six months before that was decided. People sort of, I think, guessed that this wasn't going to go very well for Kay Burley, when Adam Bolton tweeted this, or retweeted, sorry. So he retweeted someone called John Law, who's got the hashtag Sky News, Kay Burley, John Law has tweeted, look at the state of Sky News.  And now look at them. After illegally going on a bender, they were going to a hospital to put lives at risk. Maybe one of them was going to report in the hospital afterwards. Now it's important to say, Adam Bolton said that retweets aren't endorsements, and he does do a lot of retweets every day. I retweet things because I think they're of public interest. And certainly my feed has reflected a lot of people who are very concerned about the credibility of Sky News, and that I think is the important issue, the credibility of our journalism. Dali, do you think Adam Bolton has thrown them under the bus, or I presume you kind of agree with what he's retweeted there, right?  That's the thing. I mean, I don't know what is going on there. I think I would be sort of like, you didn't need to retweet that. I get it, but you didn't need to do that if I was working with him. But I also think that that kind of retweet, it's just so incendiary, and I just kind of find it quite funny. I always enjoy it when people are like the political and media class sort of fight each other. It kind of takes the pressure off a little bit from me. So it's kind of delicious to watch, to be quite honest.


All right, so in today's video, I'm gonna be going over 13 untapped side hustles, and these are gonna be relatively easy and they're also gonna have a low barrier to entry, meaning you can get into these without much experience. So if you appreciate me doing this type of video, cheers to like button, and let's jump into it right now. So the first one on the list is going to be selling no-code products. So no-code products are basically where you create software using a visual development interface. So you basically don't have to have any software development or software engineering knowledge. And this is especially good for creating what's known as minimum viable products. So if you have an idea for a piece of software that you think could help a company out there, you can create it for very cheap using no-code development. Now, is this product gonna be perfect? Of course not. Are you going to later on probably hire professional software developers to make it better? Yes, you are. But is this a great way to get a product out there just to see if people want to buy what you have to build before actually spending hundreds of thousands of dollars building it? Yes, this definitely is. And an example of a great no-code product would be Comet. So this was launched in 2016 by three roommates. And it's basically a freelancing marketplace that attributes its early success to no-code platforms. And this platform had immediate success and scaled to $800,000 per month very quickly. Then within three years they secured 14 million in venture capital funding. And there's been many examples of companies that were started using no-code. And they typically use the platform bubble to start the company. Now there's many ways you could make money doing this with the most obvious way becoming a freelancer. For instance, you could be a freelancer that specializes in helping people start CRMs or customer relationship management software using no-code. And there's probably a million different examples out there. The only thing that's gonna limit you is your creativity. So I'll give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. I think it's awesome. And it's definitely something that you should look into. All right, quick pause guys. I can't believe I'm doing this but for Black Friday, Cyber Monday I'm gonna be giving you an opportunity to get your dream remote job for 80% off, okay? Link down in the description below. It's only gonna be available for a few days. So check it out. I'll put it down in the description as well as the pinned comment below.   And curated is a company that wants to be the go-to place for all experts. And if you look on their website you can be an expert in all kinds of random different niches. For instance, there's snowboarding with 612 experts. There's grills with 11 experts. And there's coffee and espresso with 58 experts. So you would basically just write about your expertise and all things related to it. And you would curate the best information and put it on the platform. And then people actually get to review you and rate you based off of what they think of your expertise. So this is another really cool way of learning about certain niche subjects very quickly and efficiently. I think you could honestly do the same exact thing on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, et cetera. But it's cool that curated offers a platform that's dedicated to it. So I'll give this one an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be Twitter ghostwriting and also just ghostwriting in general. So ghostwriting is basically where you would kind of absorb the philosophy of a person who's typically like a public figure like an influencer for instance. And then you would write about their philosophy on Twitter. So let's say for instance that you are an author who's put out three or four books.  And of course this can help grow your brand. It can get people to buy your book. And if you have maybe private coaching or some other type of service that you offer people will likely be more interested in it. So Twitter ghostwriting in my opinion is a huge opportunity right now. I think Twitter is one of the most untapped markets. Or I guess it's X now, not Twitter anymore but you get my point. And I'll be honest with you most of Twitter is kind of just an absolute cesspool but there are certain pockets of Twitter that have some of the highest quality content on the internet. So for instance, there are people that give away entire courses on Twitter and they're usually in written format but it's an entire course on a subject and they break it down really well and all you have to do is just like their post and then comment on the post and maybe message them or something. And I've gotten some courses on Twitter that were honestly higher quality than courses that I've paid thousands of dollars for. So Twitter can be a place that has extremely high quality content but not everybody has time to constantly be tweeting so they might hire someone to do it for them. So I really do like Twitter ghostwriting. I'll give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Very similar to Twitter ghostwriting. I'll also talk about Twitter affiliate marketing. And technically you could do affiliate marketing on just about any platform but again, I do think Twitter is relatively untapped. And affiliate marketing is basically where you partner with someone who has a product and if you are able to get someone else to click on the link to that product and then they end up buying it you get a percentage of the profit. So for instance, let's just say there's a $100 product someone clicks on it and you end up getting $50 when they buy it. So affiliate marketing is great because the only skill that you have to have is marketing itself, right? Just getting traffic to the product. You don't have to be good at making landing pages or building the product or doing sales or hiring a team or doing customer service or any of that stuff. All of that is taken care of. So I definitely do like affiliate marketing. I think it's still a great opportunity. And this is something you can do part-time just as a little side hustle or you can make a full-time income from it. So I'll give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score as well. And by the way, affiliate marketing is a type of digital marketing and I've interviewed many people on this channel that have been able to get jobs in digital marketing and they didn't have to have a degree or previous experience. And it's honestly one of the best skills that you could possibly learn in the modern age. And my friend, Seth has probably helped more people than anyone else in the entire world become digital marketers. And he does have a free masterclass which I'll put down in the description as well as the pin comment below that you should check out. Next, let's talk about peer to peer lending. Now this is a very interesting one that I've been looking into more and more in the last few years.   So instead of Wall Street making all the money off of the financial system, normal everyday people get to make some of that money as well. And it really does sound amazing in theory but in actual application, it can be a bit hit or miss. But there are some crowdfunding sites such as Prosper, Lending Club or Funding Circle that you can look into. And many investors see returns ranging from three to 7%. So overall, I think this is a cool one to look into. It might be something that's really good if you want to diversify your portfolio. But I definitely wouldn't go all in when it comes to investing just with peer to peer lending. I'll give this one a six out of 10 opportunity score. Another really interesting one, and I'm actually even a little higher on this one is real estate crowdfunding. Everyone knows that investing in real estate is one of the best ways for you to invest your money but not everybody has $100,000 to buy a house. So using real estate crowdfunding with websites like Fundrise or Realty Mogul, you can start investing with as little as $500. And the best thing is you don't have to be a real estate expert. You don't have to deal with all the taxes, laws and compliance stuff. You don't have to deal with tenants or anything like that. Now this is relatively new so there's not a lot of data on this but there's many people that have reported getting over 7% even over 10% returns which would be better than the S&P 500. And again, it could be a good way for you to diversify your income if you're already investing in something like index funds. So overall, I'll give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. The next one on the list is technically a job but it's so easy to get into that I just wanna call it a side hustle because you can get part-time work and that is assisting medical professionals. So there's so much demand for some of these lower level medical professional jobs that hospitals and clinics will literally train you and start you off working part-time even if you have no experience, no college degree or anything. And as a medical assistant you'll typically make somewhere between $10 and $30 an hour later on down the line. This is also one of the fastest growing jobs in the entire United States of America. And I've mentioned this many other times on the channel and I have videos dedicated to talking about a bunch of these different medical careers. So I'm not gonna name all of them but there are a lot of random little niche medical careers you can get into relatively easily. And so for that reason, I'll give this one an 8 out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, if you're liking some of these or if you want me to cover other side hustles, if there's anything you think that should have been on this list, go ahead and comment down below and maybe it'll make it into the next video. Next, let's talk about investing in royalties. So this involves purchasing the rights in a creative work or an intellectual property. So something like a music book or a patent. And then you earn a share of the ongoing royalties. So for instance, the Beatles song yesterday actually has a record for being the most covered song in history and it's generated a substantial amount of royalties for the rights holders. And Charlie Munger pockets $70,000 a year from a $1,000 investment he made in 1962. And he is likely raked in well over a million dollars from this royalty investment. And the easiest way to invest in royalties is purchasing shares in what's known as a royalty trust. There's also royalty related ETFs. And if you're not familiar with ETFs, basically they're very similar to index funds. They're very easy to just kind of buy one.  So again, this is another one that might be good if you want to diversify your income. And Reese Witherspoon might actually become a billionaire because she started a company that's basically a book club where she gets royalty rights in those books if they make them into movies. So this was actually like a 5D chess genius move on her part. And so if you're someone who has a really good eye for talent, like for instance, you just have a really good eye for bands that you think are gonna make it big or books that you think are gonna be made into movies or something along those lines, this could be a really good type of investment for you to get into. But overall, I think for the average person, this one is gonna be below average. I'm gonna give it a 6.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next on the list is going to be a taste tester. And this is exactly what it sounds like. You're basically going to be taste testing food and then giving feedback to the manufacturer or the chef on the food. And there are companies that will actually hire taste testers and pay them $100,000 a year. Now, typically this is more of a part-time thing and it's probably going to be offered more to people who live in bigger cities, but it's still something you can make some pretty good money from. And there are companies such as Schwann Food Company that will actually pay people to taste test their food. And Schwann's actually has pretty good food. So yeah, this is probably not one you're gonna make a full-time income from. It's more of a little side hustle. You can make a little bit of extra money here and there. So for that reason, I'll give it a 6 out of 10 opportunity score. Next on the list is going to be personal tailoring services. And this would specifically be a traveling tailor. So you would actually be going to someone's house, taking their measurements, possibly also taking their clothes, then tailoring the clothes and then delivering it back to the house. And this is another one of those services that's been around forever, but you can make it more convenient for people and they will pay you a premium. Another way you can make really good money from this is by specializing and tailoring for certain types of people. So for instance, there is a tailor that specializes in tailoring for NFL stars. He's made suits for over 200 different NFL players and he makes really good money. But on average, tailors make about $33,000 a year. So this is one where you have to get a little bit creative with it. Again, I would recommend either specializing or doing a delivery service and then making sure that you charge a premium price. But overall, I'm gonna give this one a seven out of 10 opportunity score. Next on the list is going to be rental income. And I know I said this is a list of untapped side hustles, but the truth is real estate, rental income is still untapped and there's still a massive amount of opportunity here. So obviously there's Airbnb. You can rent out the spare room that you have in your house where you can invest in properties and rent them out to tenants or you can invest in commercial properties and rent them out to businesses. There's many, many different ways to make money from real estate. It's probably the number one side hustle in the entire world and there is a reason for that.  You know, don't jump into real estate without doing a ton of research first because you're almost guaranteed to lose money, but you can make really good money. Typically the returns can be even over 10 or 15%. It's relatively passive. Plus you get ridiculously good tax benefits and you get equity in the house or the real estate itself. So I'll give real estate a nine out of 10 opportunity score overall. Next is going to be print on demand. This is one that I made a few videos about and I really think the future of print on demand is going to be incredible. So print on demand, if you didn't know, it's basically where you select a T-shirt on a website that has a certain design and then you order that T-shirt but what you don't know is the T-shirt hasn't actually been made yet. Some graphic designer out there designed that design and then put it on a T-shirt using Photoshop and you decided to buy it and that's when the company makes it themselves. So this is a great way for independent artists to make money because they don't have to worry about the manufacturing, they don't have to worry about the shipping or the logistics. All they have to do is design cool stuff that people want. Now I've talked about this in other videos but I think there's gonna be a lot of opportunity when it comes to 3D print on demand. And that's basically where you use 3D printers to print really cool stuff. So an example of this would be printing awesome Halloween costumes. So someone might go to a website, design a super sick Halloween costume, click a few buttons and a week later they have an awesome Halloween costume show up at their door that's completely custom. I think that is going to be the future of print on demand. I think it's gonna be even more customizable than it is right now. And I think there's a ton of opportunity for artists as well as individuals to make a ton of money with this. So I'm gonna give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next let's talk about appointment setting. This is one that's technically a job but it can also be a side hustle and you can also turn it into a business. And basically what appointment setting is is you're setting up appointments online for the closer and the closer AKA the salesperson is someone who's selling a high ticket product. So this is a product that's gonna be at least $3,000. And in many cases it might be 10, 20, even $100,000. And what you're doing as the appointment setter is you're typically talking to people in DMs, maybe talking to people over email, qualifying them and making sure that they're the right type of person to actually buy the product. And then you send them to the closer. Now not to get too technical but that's what's known as inbound appointment setting. There's also outbound appointment setting where you're either cold emailing or cold calling people. But either way you're gonna be sending them to the closer and you can make really good money as an appointment setter. Now there's many different types of appointment setting. I mean, you could work for real estate agencies, you could work for software companies, you could work for online coaches, consultants and agency owners, many, many different types of appointment setting. But this is something that's absolutely essential to the sales process, especially for higher ticket products. And it's one of those positions where you eat what you kill. So when you get a sale, you get a certain percentage of that. And of course that can really rack up. I mean, you can make five, eight, even $10,000 plus dollars per month. So yeah, appointment setting is phenomenal. I really like this one. I've seen a ton of people have success with it. I will give it a 9.5 out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, I made another video on 10 side hustles you can do to earn money and you can check that out by clicking right here.


Do long meetings feel like a waste of time, especially when one colleague is talking almost constantly? Do you get stressed from all the calls and chat messages coming in? Do work and private life blur into each other? These days we are often working hybrid or remote, so a healthy meeting culture is more important than ever. NextCloud can help with this. NextCloud Talk makes it easier to be mindful of the attention of other people. You can, for example, send a chat message that won't cause everybody to get notified. You can even start a call without ringing everyone's phone. If you then have to pull in others, you could ring them specifically. During the meeting, talk shows you how long everybody has been talking. Now you can ensure everybody has a chance to share their opinion. If there are to-do items, you can put them in the chat with to-do or task in front. The talkbot will record them.  Perhaps time to end the call? After the call, you'll get a short call report, including the tasks you identified. That helps you keep track of the meetings. Less notifications is nice, of course. You can disable notifications on a chat room, but outside of work hours, you might prefer not to get any notifications at all. That is easy. Enter your work hours and enable the automatic Do Not Disturb feature. Sometimes you do want to get notified, just not right now. You can set a reminder on a chat message so you can deal with it later. Just pick one of the proposed times or set your own. We thought this feature was so useful, we also made it possible to set a reminder on a file and snooze emails. That way you can stay focused on the task at hand. Say goodbye to endless meetings and hello to efficient collaboration. Create a more productive, respectful, and healthy meeting culture with NextCloud Talk.
