nd so it feels like a justification to buy a system earlier than you probably should if there's not enough games So to me, it's never really been essential I buy everything at launch all the time. It's a problem. Maybe it's an addiction I don't know. I bought xbox and play station 5 right at launch too. I just And I don't need those for my job So I might be have a problem But I advise others not to have that problem and backwards compatibility has never mattered to me I can tell you right now with my playstation 5 and my xbox series. I have not played a single game from an old generation On those systems Even though they have backwards compatibility hasn't even been an interest of mine to do that and the games are right there PlayStation plus and in the yep. They'll drop like an old PlayStation 4 game.  I don't need this so It's but that's me and that's how I consume And I to me backwards compatibility isn't People get mad at me about it. I just for me personally, it's not important But this is one thing I am able to do is look beyond myself and go but I understand it's important to a lot of you Um, I will I'll say the most important. I think the people it's most important to Are going to be the consumers that are Living on the the budget you have a budget You only have one system. It's all you can afford Just the one system like I have all of all the systems You can only afford the one you put all your money into the one And you want to get the next one because you really want that 3d mario or something And you justify being able to sell your system plus a couple games that you might have In order to buy that next system and if it doesn't have backwards compatibility Suddenly you're out that entire library that you just had told all because you got the latest and greatest And I know how that feels because that's where I've had buyers remorse in the past um, I had buyers remorse Um, when that happened To me with the uh, Gamecube when I couldn't play any of my n64 games And I sold my n64 not the games the console to help pay for the Gamecube I have immediate buyers remorse because there was barely anything I wanted to play in that first year And I couldn't play any of my old games. So I do think that It's really important for a select amount of consumers to have backwards compatibility And there's obviously just it's good for all consumers in general. There's no consumer reason to say it's bad Exactly So I'm always pro consumer. So I want it It's just for me. It's not a personal deal breaker So for me No matter what happens antenna releases a new 3d mario game I'm gonna get that 3d mario game. There's no if answer buts right like that. That's happening day one. No matter what um Job or no job That that that's it's I'm gonna find a way like that that is too important. It's just it's like It's like zelda go donate plasma They still do that. I don't even know if they still pay for that anymore I don't even I'm just I met more so like if my job I had to get it or not as opposed to funds Oh, I thought you were saying like even if I don't have a job. I was like, that's what I thought you meant to I was like so you're broke. So you're getting money through the through actually we don't need plasmas on that nefarious No, could be doing other things. Of course. Of course. The thing is If my finance is born in order if I didn't have a job I would be planning ahead of time and say and positioning myself so I could make sure I get that 3d mario That's right. We're putting it down down every day at game stop But I was I was more alluding to you know covering it as a youtuber But either way, I will find a way, right? That's a will there's a way for almost anything that said You know, I would say It does depend and I agree with you that You know backwards compatibility in a way actually kind of facilitates more hardware sales At least at first because people can sell their prior system Still keep the games and buy the system right and since then people already bought the switch It doesn't really hurt and tend to that they're selling the system. So It makes sense. It feels good as a consumer to know even day one. I don't lose anything. All I'm doing is Yep, but I'll also make another argument and I I've seen people make the argument to the contrary, right? Like if there is backwards compatibility, then people might not be as willing to buy new installments on the next system Um, I'm not I mean that's this kind of sentence brought by like third party supposedly But I I'll make the argument in the opposite direction Because if you have um, say for example tears of the kingdom, right? You have a switch too You might want to see all that game runs in that new system It might actually encourage you to try out some of your prior games But on top of that if nintendo plans on supporting the switch for a couple years past the switch too And they release games on for the switch Well, if you have a switch too, you can still buy and play those games too So when nintendo ports, you know blade x to switch still playable on switch too, you know People will still buy xenoblade x. They won't just they won't not buy it if they have a switch too So I think backwards compatibility actually, but who's nintendo in some ways? It's not just a pure consumer thing There are business reasons to do it Uh, it increases hardware sales. It increases the longevity of software sales on the switch making it relevant on switch too So I think it makes sense from both perspectives And um, it just increases the overall value. I guess it's such a huge lineup So for sure, um, they they should do it I believe they will do it And but if they didn't do it, I'd still buy it because I'm hardcore nintendo fan But I also think it would it would hurt it would hurt them At least short term if they didn't do it Okay, yep Yeah, I mean yeah, they made a great great great points when it comes to People who are hardcore fans too, but they can only afford to have that one console So they sell that one to get the other and that at that point. Yes, you are basically you need to You you are relying on backwards compatibility to actually at least have your Your library of games at least that first year of the of the system. So that makes sense Sure Which is also why later into a systems life cycle once they have revisions They will revise out the backwards compatibility because it's more so about getting people to buy early on And afterwards it doesn't matter as much. We'll be able to do that. Well, they ever Revised out a backwards compatibility. They've done it. They did it. Yeah, they did it with um, the we They did really late life, but they did it with me. Yeah So the we was was compared with the gamecube until a certain point Yeah, that model The newest model No, yeah, the we mini model didn't have it and I think I see there was a regular we version released in 2011 That they phased out the backwards, but that was all the way in 2011. Yeah, I was like, yeah But they but they phased it out in 2011. There's another example on the dsi couldn't play gameplay advanced games Yep, yeah, and if you really want to stretch it on the gameboy macro couldn't play Gameboy and gameboy color games. Yep. That's true. Yep. So let's see the example NES couldn't play Atari games or you know, You mean the color tv games nintendo make color tv games or the pong the pong game, you know the pong with the little Right, uh So a couple other points on this topic. Uh, this one this one's just the metro prime four question Is it is it going to be a launch title or is it going to launch first on switch? You guys already know my answer I say it's going to come out first on switch switch switch I think it's going to be announced in september So we got we got we got a three-way agreement So I know I know I'm the big metro fan here. I'm the metro defender I couldn't tell by the giant samus in the background That's And the pillow in the body pillow of samus. Oh, yeah, well, he's not trying to turn the camera to the other room We're not in the bedroom. He's got a separate studio now True For three years ago Zero suit zero suit samus pillow Probably would be a pretty good We're gonna speak it in the re-hound when you squeeze it it talks to you Look, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go on amazon right now and drop a link for everyone to a zero suit samus body I think that nintendo Um, I bought this up earlier, right? I kind of I think back to the primary master of announcement situation On one there's two perspectives one perspective is they announced it the way they did without showing prime four because Um prime force is still too far out that it won't they didn't think it made sense to show it off at that point Or b they're saving it because they want it closer to The showcase of the switch too Now that doesn't mean that it can't but for example, like you alluded to this earlier They could announce they can unveil it in this direct and it can still be a cross gen title Let me look at breath of the wild we had breath of the wild footage We had an extensive e3 presentation Um and demos on it before then we saw the switch version, right? So theoretically, um, we can still get a metric prime four unveiling this september before they announced switch two Like that that could happen. Um, but I I guess what what i'm trying to get at here is that I wonder Uh, this september direct, I think will be very telling right if this september direct We don't see prime four. I think that tells us that It's going to be a cross gen title falling in the launch window I don't I think um, you mean especially can switch is probably going to stay relevant for a couple years after switch two launches It's totally okay to release a 3d mario and switch two in september And then turn around late october or early november and release metric prime four for both Like they could do that right so i'm basically i'm kind of 50 50 on it being cross gen or not Um, you know, like either way, I think there'll be like an enhanced version in some way for switch two But it's just to your point is a come out afterwards And why and I kind of Well, I love the idea of prime four being like that last big switch title And I think that could really help to you know bolster sales From from from that perspective So there's something weird about having that version and then a few months later releasing a better Version on switch two. Um I kind of feel like maybe they should just do both at the same time So that's why i'm kind of thinking that but of course prime four Maybe they wanted as that big title to kind of help bridge the gap before switch two So basically i'm not i'm undecided i'm 50 50 on it's one of those possibilities And this september direct will kind of sway me in one direction or another If metric prime four is unveiled as like a first half of 2024 game then it's not cross gen Right, it'll be enhanced later down the road But if it's not if it's a no show or announced for a second half of 2024 release, I believe it will be cross gen I want that game to have a campaign be multiplayer have like all the stuff that battlefield has I think from a sales perspective that makes a ton of sense if they have the Assets and resources to put together a masterpiece campaign and by the way, metro metro games aren't very long, right? So it's not like they have to build a game that's as long as breath of the wild reaches of the kingdom That they don't have to do that if they it fits like a 30 to 40 hour experience. It's very replayable Maybe with multiple difficulties and maybe some sequence breaking That's great And then if they have more and if that's a masterpiece if that's like a 10 out of 10 experience Let's do that And then if they can still implement a multiplayer that fits what metro prime is And that gives it legs beyond helping it to be ever green as as as a launch window tighter for switch two Let's let's do it because that can maybe position metro a to be like a 10 plus million seller It's not a metro prime. I don't know a lot about a lot about the background, but isn't it like a federation There was a spinoff can metro prime federation force. There was a co-op online multiplayer 3ds game Oh, it's canon to have that that there's a federation that exists within the metro universe Yeah, yeah, I mean federation force is almost kind of like what like odst for halo or something um So it's a little different because one was co-op and and stuff, but yeah, like there is like a similarity there In terms of like the lore You know outside of the main character There there are other characters that are weaker but still take place and kind of shooting and space stuff And there's also metro prime hunters. We're just talking about like the history of multiplayer in metro Metro prime specifically like you have metro prime 2 echoes. You have metro prime hunters Which is the first online multiplayer game um on the ds It was interesting that came up before the we right so it was kind of like one of the total's first big online games And then we have federation force. So there is a history of multiplayer in metro prime games So maybe maybe that Let's see what happens I'm actually going to save this last part of this For another week and the final topic for another week looking at the time because we do have a number of fan questions That came in that I want to make sure we get to So if you guys have any questions that you would like us to answer and display on screen You just super chatter in and we'll feature it and get answering. So we have our first one in from Uh, Jorge ft Saying hey guys, are you okay with more themes and music? For a slower os the we you suffered from slow speeds depends on on on the So much the you know, of course the the Hardware that the switch has the next which has if they can it can handle it, right? And if it I'm going back to the dock to Software where the the storage if it's if it has high speeds high speed storage. I don't think it'll be an issue I think it'll it'll have it'll have faster read speeds So it won't slow down the system too much if it doesn't I'm okay with it I mean, I think things are just makes it a lot more fun Right and it makes you attach to the console itself because we can all remember a certain theme from a console that that we from the past You know that little, um, we music in the background is You know, is that kind of it brings you back though I'm for it. I'm gonna Play devils. I have to get a little bit here I do want themes just for the record, but if it comes up the cost of a very quick and snappy operating system hard no Um, I don't want to go to switch to and for it to feel slower I actually am poor when I'm playing on other consoles and there's like a delay I haven't picked up ps5 yet for whenever my on my ps4 and I just experienced some level of delay or lag I'm like, oh my god, this takes so long like if my switch is just click go click go close go close go Like there's no delay. Um, so I hope it's still like that on switch too So when you say themes you're talking about like an overhaul of the the actual system Or are you just talking about the wallpaper and music well themes are usually just like On all because I'm 3ds. They were a bit more they changed some of the icons. Yeah Yeah, it stopped the sound effects and there was slowdown. Yeah, there was significant slowdown I I think that if it's an overhaul theme. Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna definitely go on right you know Xbox back and at least on the 360 would have Kind of basic themes where it's just pictures that have the premium themes which change like icons and stuff So it depends on like what they what ultimately a theme is. It's just a It's the color swaps. It's whatever. Yeah. Yeah, that's whatever But I think I think for the for the next switch what I want to see is themes when it comes to wallpapers not Every single little alert being changed to something of a theme of a game or something more like wallpaper has static The aesthetic in the artwork will be will be a cool addition. Maybe like background music Uh, but that's as far as I will take it when it comes to So that anything else I think it'll just be getting the way Yeah, I look I don't Themes are always cool customization school. Uh, but as I always tell people I'm booting a system to play a game. I'm I'm just gonna go there I'm just gonna go straight like it is need to be like, oh in the background of my videos I can put up the switch home menu with the custom theme and it looks all cool Yeah, but like for the purpose of me as a gamer, I really don't care Like I know I remember all that we music and the 3ds stuff like it's all fond memories and lots of nostalgia Also, it had zero impact on me buying a we are a 3ds in the damn first place I would have bought them anyways So it's like I don't need them to be there and I Over time started getting more frustrated with the lag That sometimes having some of those themes enabled would cause versus not So if you're gonna tell me if there are themes in music But it adds actual noticeable lag to the operating system. I'd rather they just be nuked But uh, that's that that I I'm all about ease of use and convenience Over customization like if if changing the background on my phone made it slow down pass now Because you know like apple and even androids have no like the 3d backgrounds all the stuff I got the glow here. I can spin doesn't slow my phone down, but it will it will make my phone drain more battery I'm willing to drain more battery for Neat little visuals than I am Lag no lag, please So Yui, that's that about what you're feeling. No, that's exactly what I was feeling with this is if it doesn't have a noticeable difference with performance Yeah, sure, but if it's gonna slow down my system, I'm gonna have second thoughts about it I might do it anyway because that's fun, but honestly, I just At least give us more than just two three, you know choices at least for colors Yeah, exactly just like do there's no reason just light and dark we can have other colors Yeah, just I feel it was just a big missed opportunity for the switch just to have extra colors on the menu So we don't see the same everyone has just the black or the white one But just colors alone would have been fine As we see with light light and dark, I don't think it would have affected anything just to put colors in but Yeah, um, all right. Our next question comes in from bash. Celestia. Okay. Yes, it is I don't know what the beginning of it's about probably responding to something we said earlier Anyways, let me get my question in again. Do you guys still play games from old consoles or handhelds? Of course. Yep No I'll be the only person who doesn't do it by the way. Yeah I don't talk to any other gamer that that doesn't play their old games. So that's me. Yeah, um, I Like the idea of going back to old systems. Um, I currently don't have a lot of old systems But um, you know, I have like this the this dream of eventually kind of going back and getting every Old system and collecting like a library and having it all accessible in this dream world where I have time and money You know, it would be nice. Amen. Um, yeah That said though, I do tend to fire up my wii u Um on a very rare occasion But it's usually only to play something that I don't have on switch Um, then my kind of just find myself hoping that everything comes to switch and they've done a pretty good job so far So the more games that come to switch eventually the more the last reason I have to go back Say, I like playing old games that I want I want them to come to me Like I don't want to buy old consoles to play them. I do have the NES super nintendo I have a wii u right here connected, but I don't like to play it on Yeah, I'm playing to book one stadium too right now.  I want to play win waker. I start playing win waker But I just don't like playing on the weaver. So wii u for some reason. I don't like the the the pad Not a pad of it Yeah Yeah No, I like it but I'm also an outlier that I don't play old games. I have nso and I can count Yeah Maybe the amount of times I've even launched Anything on the nso on one hand Uh, I just don't play old games like when you talk about, you know keeping the old consoles Or old handhelds. I have a ds laying around somewhere Um, I I was about to say I don't have any ds games, but I actually think I do a three ds physical ds games still laying around But I don't have the charger for it anymore hasn't been turned on since I bought a three ds I do not have any three ds systems laying around um I sold I the last one I had was a capture card version I bought from japan That I sold when I got um let go and sell the informer You know, I didn't I didn't realize that I was going to be a youtuber and the idea of capturing 3ds footage might still matter at some point Uh, but thankfully switch came out so I don't know I'm not being too big of a deal It was mostly when I was covering metro and samus returns and I was like You know, I used to have a system right You can capture 3d 3d 3ds game I had I had a capture card version of 3ds that I uh bought in japan There was one company doing it in japan It was like 500 bucks a pop So technically you can use it to make it the screen beer Yeah, you cook it up to a tv. Yeah That's the only reason why haven't done it through the end. You could you could look up tv I don't know what they're going for now. They don't make them anymore. Um, you can still find some of them second hand on ebay But yeah, they're super expensive though. Yeah, they were they were expensive in the first place They were and now they're even worse But I use them for walkthroughs and screenshots when I worked at zill informers We did a walkthroughs for a lot of the 3ds stuff. Um, and you know, majority mass 3d occurring time 3d like between worlds triforce heroes I've got one for work and I didn't work there anymore. So I'm like, oh, I don't need this anymore a little that I know That you know, it still would have been a little bit handy and now with how expensive they are It's like, man, if I were to just hold on to the stamp, yeah, sell this regret Yeah, but anyways, uh, no, I don't I don't have that although I do sell some 3ds physical games and get rid of all of them I still have some sitting back there. I got my cell does and a few others Um, but they had I sold the we you to help buy a switch to help buy my launch switch didn't have a lot of money back then and I I just I've never the reason I'm always okay doing that is because I just don't go and replay games. I'm I'm very weird about replaying games. It's it's very rare that once I beat a game I replay it. I mean even tears of the kingdom I beat it for the purpose of doing a review for the review crew over on paul gale networks channel And I just literally haven't been playing Zelda as much since I did it now. Am I still playing? sure But it's only because there's still some stuff I want to do but am I do I want to restart like if my safe I'll get deleted would I restart tears of the kingdom? I'm really not sure that I would maybe if a master mode came at some point. I give it a try But I don't really think that I would want to start all over again. And that's just how I am because for me The first time experience through a game Is always the best experience And nothing else ever really measures up even like all-time great games like I When I replayed through Metroid Prime remaster, I've beaten that game before It wasn't as fun to me as the first time through it just wasn't for some people It absolutely is right. I just restarted definitely. I don't know how many times he's replayed it. Um, but It's just I just don't I just don't get a lot of joy out of replaying games when I could just play something I haven't played yet. That's a brand new experience. It gives me something that I don't know what's going to happen Um, but that's how I am A lot of people love replaying their retro games and they hold on to all their systems and they have huge retro collections Or they at least play them on nso or some other servers or they emulate them, but it's just not It's just not me Sorry, I still have some old games but I The last one I probably booted up Was secret amana and I did that on the snest classic Because secret amana is one of my favorite games of all time. And even then I only booted it up I I was just trying to introduce my kids to the game. I didn't actually play so And they they weren't into it too much text to read. I'm like, yeah, no I get it I get it. I get it voice acting. I'm getting you know, okay um All right, next question here. We have from another one in from Jorge f t says You think nintendo would be okay selling switch to at a loss From launch unlike switch one Well really unlike any nintendo system I don't I don't 3ds was the first one they did that with and that's after they price cut it because it wasn't selling. Yeah I don't see why they would do that Unless it did bad Yeah, literally like I'm talking like from like from let's like why Yeah, like if it was if it was a 3ds situation where like nobody had one Okay, I could see that but like from the get go. Why because There's money And still I don't think they make that much money on on the console itself It's more on software that they make their money on And on services because every developer that publishes their their their game on the nintendo store It's like like apple they take nintendo takes 30 percent off the top So they make they make a lot of money off the software more than they do ever do on the consoles You know the console's what gets you in and then the accessories and games are what keeps you I've been I've been saying for a long time or when I say a long time it's like two weeks That switch is going to be 299 for a long time I stand by 299 which means they're which means I do think nintendo is going to sell for a loss And my entire logic has always been install base Install base install base It's a sexy appealing price for what hopefully is a sexy appealing hardware with a sexy appealing 3d mario game I think it's all about a combination of all three factors that led to switch of success The price point was right the system looked right and the games were right And I think if you start to go 400 450 500 the price things starting to look right And you start to lose on one of the three things that helped make switch successful And I don't know that nintendo With remember we have a new the my book thing is we have a new president. We have no idea what he's going to do But I look at him and I go well, he's business first and business first is let's get as many systems and people's hands as possible Nintendo has never had Feels weird saying this back-to-back Mega successful systems. It just hasn't happened the closest game boy and obviously the game boy advanced both of them So 80 million plus really awesome but also If you look at color just color sales on its own not great now Obviously, nintendo packed that all together and say game boy colors part of game boy. Okay, fine But then you see ds to 3ds half the sales you see Obviously what we all know the home console story everything sold less until we And then we you tanked so nintendo has a hard time maintaining that consistent success Although handhelds obviously contain it to a certain degree The worst selling one was 3ds at like 75 million but I just I look at it and I go They're gonna I feel like they want that trifecta again great price for a great looking product with great games And they're gonna end up within a year or two making money off 299 anyways I know people think i'm crazy But I I think that this is just a different nintendo and they'll take a lot because they got more revenue streams now before when games was it Sure, it's really hard for them to stomach. Oh man, we're gonna lose money We're gonna be like a playstation 3 and just be in the red for so long But they're not going to be they have billion dollar movie franchises coming out now They have theme park consistent revenue coming in they're no longer just reliant on the video games So they can take less to sell more long haul All right, you convinced me. You're right. You're right I knew I convinced you andress versa hasn't been convinced of this argument Let me make it this argument for two weeks and he's like no No, I think I think what convinced me is that that is true nintendo Just sort of solidified themselves with in the theme parks and movies and more revenue They have way more revenue streams. So, yeah, they're not just a game company now. So they can actually afford it You know, so this is like microsoft microsoft is not just Sony both sell it a loss and it's because they can afford to because they have other revenue streams I will concede this If there are multiple versions of switch at launch We theorize the potential digital only version And if the idea is that the digital only version is provided a discounted price because since it's digital only It's gonna be increasing nintendo's margins on software sales or is the playstation tv. It's just a box Whatever Hey, I theorizing it's a sim card. Maybe but then it's a this is a whole other discussion. Yeah, I know it's getting late So I don't want to I'll concede that a digital only switch Potentially I could see nintendo building that at $300 so they can hit that mainstream market But I'll also have to say and you already know what I'm gonna say If you account for inflation $400 is not really that far off from what the switch was valued at for if you accounted for inflation back in 2017 so I yeah, I think it's I think the the switch version that we're gonna buy most was hard for gamers is gonna be $400 And I think also that yes, we are there's there's inflation But inflation hasn't completely caught up a lot of people are still gonna pay the same as they were before inflation Yeah, our paychecks haven't changed. Oh, yeah, so so we are in the midst of inflation I think that nintendo has to they they they have a pulse on the market and know We know how much people are people are spending less now than the report because they can't afford things now because things are a lot more so If if nintendo announces within the next year, I don't I don't think we're gonna catch up to All the way like say, uh, we're in inflation and our salaries will catch up with inflation. We haven't caught up yet. We're still Way below. I mean the minimum wage hasn't gone. That's the whole that's a political argument. I could get to that Yeah, it has gone up in my area Actually technically a minimum wage has you guys know in wisconsin. It's not national. It's still 725. Oh my god Really? Yeah, I mean, all right. It went up here to 15 bucks Nobody I can't find anywhere that hiders at 725 anymore So they are paying more but it's still like lots of people trying to low ball like nine hours an hour Once upon a time For a public edge. I'm not gonna get too political But I'll get some political but I'm gonna keep it quick. We keep it quick just because it's relevant because it annoys me Right in a way most people here probably but there's once upon a time you could get a public education without spending a dime Get straight out straight out of high school.  My family. I saw someone say this recently free time is a luxury Yeah, it is it is and I I'm just like that that's a that that's a good point because that's why people are not gonna Play games that have like these scores of five six out of ten. It's not like am I chicken out? No, I'm gonna pass it up for It shouldn't be a luxury exactly. We shouldn't be slaving away our entire life Just wake up and do it again. You want to know it is luxury though video games. It is video games are luxury Right, so it's gonna be four two dollars That's the common. That's the common price point. A lot of people think it's gonna be so 399 I mean You're saying zippo is legit Zippo said 399 no correlation is not causation He'll argue it is Yeah, um Yeah, I mean like I said, I I think you know I do think though like if there's a digital version that makes sense to me because then they're they're cutting they're cutting down the margin Like there's a financial reason behind that Here's another another point to make before I'm derailing whatever anyways um Switch is still selling really reasonably well at this stage with aged hardware aged tired hardware Right like we're still selling not that far off from peak numbers at this stage of the game so You know what what's the new hard we're gonna do, you know, you know that card a card reader like The little card reader that nintendo has that basically just remove that make it digital The cost the cost nintendo sense and how they buy it right? Oh, yeah No, this wouldn't be a digital only wouldn't be a lot cheaper for nintendo But they're they're margins um for revenue would be better because it'll be a digital any system So people buy that that's you can only buy more money so it's a much higher long term. Yeah, right It doesn't argument I mean I think last week was that yeah one thing I'm making digital that cheap would be You don't care because every game you sell you make way more money off it Yeah, but I do I do understand that. Yeah, they wouldn't by the way the digital only version is is rumored, right? It's not this is not a just speculation so Yeah, yeah digital only is We don't know how it sounds there's something that tend to would never had a form of it rumored That's why I bring up playstation tv Technically the form was not it was just that there would be a digital only version um You we got anything to add before we move on to the next one. No that exactly I think I got everyone everyone's got my I agree with everyone. I think everything's been said. So perfect. Perfect By the way, Chris Gonzalez about the taxes thing. I was talking about going to debt You don't have you can get a high school education without going into debt. So yeah You can go public education all through high school for the most part so Hopefully without going to the debt Crispy tofu for four dollars and 99 cents. Thank you so much says do you guys think nintendo will do performance upgrades for switch games That had poor performance It's so what games and will it be freed or paid? Oh, you might be right that's a it's a very That this is like that topic that a lot of people dance around because we don't really know what to think because everyone else in the industry handled it differently I'm gonna tell you what I believe is gonna happen Okay, um at least I think that any game that has a unlocked frame rate or an unlocked resolution Will experience natural benefits by being a more powerful hardware That's pretty much it. It's kind of like have you ever um if actually it's a great channel mvg Sometimes does the overclocking of switch games and they look and run a little bit better Kind of like that marginal improvements. Um, we've seen this. Um, even on the 3ds If you go from 3ds and u3ds a lot of the games will Run smoother Because it just the games just run better because it's more powerful hardware So I think that is gonna happen Now, is it going to be anything substantial? Is it going to be like that? That's comes down to nintendo going back and doing optimizations and patches and stuff or whatever developer that's that's tough and that I will I don't know that that that part stuff. I'm not sure I think select games will get improvements thinking backwards compatibility will be a thing um nintendo issue patches for Certain games their major games the ones that they want they want selling for people who haven't bought it yet, right? They could buy it and still and get that improved game on the switch too But for everything else is It works free Hmm yui um I'm going to be honest. Um It's good depending how they how they ultimately go about it, but like I really don't think so I think if anything happens, it's all just going to be just by nature of running through the hardware But I don't think it's going to be something advertised or anything So I don't think if they're going to have to have to make you pay for it If it does happen, but I really don't think I think it's just going to be like a natural just running on the newer hardware If there's any improvements, but hopefully because some games really really need it So my my only counter I have to what what andres put out there that you know There'd just be some natural with the better hardware Is I think they're going to run these switch games via emulation and emulators Need more powerful hardware to even run them at the same speed as the original hardware And I don't think the gap is going to be so large that suddenly It's going to be able to get better fps. So I I sort of think they're going to run Mostly the same assuming there is a layer of emulation, which I think is Basically, nintendo's work around to everything that mvg modern vintage gamers said Would make it hard about running switch games on this hardware The solution is you just have an emulator that emulates them all the games Right. So because of that, I don't think that there will be That big of a performance boost by putting it in there. I hope I'm wrong I mean emulation they can they can automatically apply dlss to all games and that already would make things run better Or maybe they have an automatic layer that allows fsr or something I don't know it is i'm not saying that there aren't workarounds But that would require nintendo putting in that extra work on top of emulation But I don't know that they will So I'm not so sure that we're gonna see better performance. I hope we do. I hope I'm wrong I hope when we put scuttle and violin in there, it's just constant 30 all the time Yeah There's no hardware reason for it not to be other than the game just wasn't made for that hardware Imagine they do emulation, but with switch at max settings Yeah, maybe they maybe they allow the emulation to run at higher clocks Yeah, right because which has it it's in there. Yeah, like let's x1 run at base clocks, basically It maybe Another incentive for back to the compatibility and dropping the switch in favor of the new hardware Sure, so sure if nintendo if people find out. Oh, yeah, this runs better on the new hardware or nintendo god forbid Promotes it that's going to drive sales even more like of course. I'm going to buy a new You know the switch to on day one if it's going to play switch games better Not just not just emulate them because I want to play scarlet and violet and not have it chug Sure, I think it's a good selling point. Especially if you get that 400 dollars I think I think uh, I just don't think it's gonna happen And I think some of it is A little bit of corporate greed Because they want to tell you new versions of the games that run better Yeah, so I just sort of think There's just they'll let the backwards compatibility be there, but they want to sell you the 4k 60 fps versions which they could do anyways Yeah, but They want and more people they'll be like like oh, we got a 4k version of scarlet and violet that runs it at that 60 fp By the way out of the pokemon company is gonna do it do that at all, but of course not Let's just say they did let's just presume they're nintendo and they actually care and they and they do do that They're not gonna want well the other versions find now So why would I buy the new one? Yeah? So it's sort of like an incentive to buy the new one evenly So the old one and you can't get mad at them because they didn't as long as when they bring the games over They don't run worse You can't get mad at them because all they said is backwards compatibility If they don't promise backwards compatibility with better performance just pure backwards compatibility and it runs the same Cool Yeah, then you can't really be mad at them for it and for business reasons They're gonna sell you new versions because I do think throughout switch to his life There's gonna be switch ports and you make all but it's backwards compatible I know that's why they're gonna be 4k enhanced 60 fps ports What's all gonna be I'm just gonna say because we typically have a lot of debates and disputes That the points you bring up definitely have me doubting my take So I mean I mean to make sense. So I you know, I I try to have some logic behind what I say It doesn't mean it's gonna happen Logic nonsense I see you coming around this week when I bought it up last week the whole digital Sell for cheaper because you make more on the games and you were like And now this week you're like, okay, maybe that's a thing Yeah, I mean Doesn't mean they're gonna make those decisions. I think you're wrong about twilight princess and electric hg, but you know You think they're gonna be you know, you think it'll be announced at the same time or something September, I think yeah, yeah, I just don't I just don't see that happening I mean we'll see I'm not convinced on that one that one's it is hard even I know that like Andy Robinson and others something. Oh, yeah, the games are done Yeah, just because they're done doesn't mean they ever plan to announce them at the same time Andy Robinson and Jeff Grubb never once stated they're being announced at the same time. They said they're both done Done and announced two different things This I think I believe Jeff Grubb has speculated. They're coming up. He's speculated on how they would release it But he didn't know speculation is definitely his his no was just they're ready Yeah, I mean And people are getting mad right now because the games didn't come out and everyone's like Jeff Grubb I get it. Okay, right. That's one of his big flubs. I know It's like it's almost like nintendo sits on games or something. I don't know Also, we've had that proven this year But it's a shadow drop There's any on things You know, it's something that seems like you are coming around on me though that I've argued Sales potential for metric prime 4 it seems like you're warming up to the idea that it could could pop off a little bit depending on how I handle I'll think I think it'll it'll sell 10 million. Okay. What do you mean by pop off? Give me a bottom number Not not the top wish number the bottom number you think it could say But pop it off Five. Yeah. No, I'm not there. I haven't moved It might it might hit 3.5 at best Barely ahead of dread. Well, I see say that's your bottom. So I just said that best my bottom is the only way I the only way I see that game staying exactly the same if they keep the same exact kind of Oh method of how The the the first two games will give you a reason. I know metro prime 4 just comes all the way back around um It's a numbered game And I think that hurts it I dread wasn't they said five but the actual name is metro dread And so people felt that they could just jump into that they didn't had to play right Right. And that's why four will come with an expectation of At least people will look at it as oh the fourth entry. I didn't play the prior Yeah I might hurt I'm not saying it will because it could just blow people's minds Obviously how it shows how they advertise it it could blow people away so much They want to make it the first metro game and that's totally possible You know, and that's the thing once it's shown off my mind could change Yeah, this whole rumor of it possibly being like Like some of the open areas being as big as what what happens the first walk out and halo infinite and I'm like, okay That's awesome. Like that sounds so cool. And that would be a massive hype driver It's also like We haven't seen it yet. So until we see it At this point the way metro primes have been currently constructed. I don't see it suddenly popping off but To give some credit Metro prime one and two came out on a system that wasn't selling very well Metro prime three came out on one that was doing very well, but it came out at a time when it lost its momentum so Came out early actually much 2007 I don't think it was seven. Wasn't it wasn't it nine? Yes. It was Uh, metro prime three was 2007. Okay. Well, but that also released in 2000 but that also is a point I think to hurting the sales because One thing I one thing. I think we know definitively until proven otherwise of metroid It is not a nevergreen title So if the install base is small when it releases, yeah, yeah, yeah, it didn't release when there was 80 million Wees out there it came out when there was like 15 maybe that may be why prime three didn't sell more than a million because it was a nevergreen Now maybe now now there could be some differences with this one Because maybe if there's these more giant open areas, maybe that's their attempt to try to break the barrier Yeah, I make it. So that's why I'm saying My that's the last multiplayer. Yeah, my judgment can change once it's unveiled But as metro games are currently constructed I have no reason to budge until I see it and while I the person who said it nick from that podcast I know him great guy. No, he's got connections. Um He's pretty damn sure about all this stuff and that's great But until I see it myself, it's just hard for me to believe they took metroid in that direction Sure, sure But I'll say that then then you know what I might even say it's a 10 million seller if they went that direction Right and I I and what you're saying right now completely validates what I thought While you may still not agree that it's going to have to see something to make me change my mind I yeah, but I I think it's fair to say you've had a tone shift Well, the halo infinite mention there with the world I was like that's because a lot of people like well, that doesn't sound like metro I'm like, but that's kind of sort of the point if they want this to break barriers. It can't really be like metroid's been So Halo wasn't inspired by metroid I'm just saying if they go that direction, then it's like, oh well Cool, no, I know people said well the prime series had an opener. I realize this I don't think people that say that have actually played halo infinite and understand If it made someone feel like it's halo infinite halo infinite is open world When you walk out, you're talking up breath of the wild like experience I'm sorry. That has never happened in metroid. I don't care what people say Yeah, the zelda games before breath of the wild were bigger than metroid like that Like zelda was more open than metroid was in terms of like exploration Right, so we've had open areas open areas in metroid prime. They weren't that big No, they weren't any hindsight to pretty much any modern game. They weren't very big Metroid games had smaller areas than zelda games. And by the way, he never said it was an open world He just said I don't want to tell you it's open world because the guy didn't use the term he said Just it looked massive like halo infinite, which is an open world game so it's One of those we have to see but the point is if it's got open areas that are just Let's say as big as the great plateau. Yeah, that's massive That's huge for a metroid game So like Yeah, that changes the narrative and a lot of people that have heard this go. Well, that doesn't sound like metroid. I get it But that would be the point if they want to break barriers and it would be the evolution of the series Yeah, it would be trying to make this a mega seller Yeah, but by the way, that doesn't mean it can't still feel very metroid. We can argue we can argue um That this kind of follows a pattern nintendo has been doing obviously zelda You know they went with uh, you know mario odyssey has giant open areas It's not an open world game, but the open areas are massive We're not to sell phenomenal If you want to go to the game that doesn't necessarily have Big open areas, but does that big areas? Look at 3d kirby. That was a whole new direction forgotten land It like doubled the sales of the best selling kirby game ever Bowser three nintendo seems to want to take all their ip and Take the barrier they've had with sales and smash it down This could be a potential way to try to make metroid be a five six seven ten million seller It's by smashing barriers by doing something. That's very unmetroid like By the way, I'll just add they did that with pokemon too. Yeah, well pokemon as well They did with larceson and they really smashed her whole even sword shield They introduced she was the big areas. Yeah, they had pockets of open exploration And that was yeah, so and I'm not saying open worlds for everything and I understand You know people that might say if this game is open world that though then it's not really like metroid That's okay people said the same thing about breath of the wild and sold 30 million copies It's nintendo is a business they care about selling if it doesn't feel like metroid pure like doesn't feel like pure metroid Just has elements But it sells 15 million copies nintendo is gonna be pretty damn happy So if I remember nintendo is a business that I always like oh, we're gonna keep making and by the way Does something mercury steam might be working on another metroid potentially?  I just know Prime and specific if they go in a massively different direction Well, you'll always have the first three games. They also they came at such a large budget I feel like they they want this to do well. Yeah, they're I think they're treating this like a massive triple a game, which means It might be breaking barriers just going back to the point everything you're saying sounds like a tonal shift I understand you're not ready to buy into it yet, but you're Because I don't believe they're making a tonal shift.  Look at all these Okay, yeah, but retro studios last game with donkey kong like let's All the teams did the primer maybe all the all the guys from the prior prime games not being there is why this is happening I don't know but uh Again Rumors are rumors and I don't have any personal direct knowledge. So we'll see we'll see We have One more question that we had in remember guys you have any any other questions? There's still time the podcast doesn't know if you can super check your question Otherwise, this is the last one we got uh from samuel talks about games How do you guys think they expand nso with the switch to maybe a nintendo game pass service? Perhaps maybe even xbox game pass coming to switch to man people really want game pass It's it's one of the greatest values in gaming and with nintendo the value would just be absolutely insane. Holy crap Let's use this one with the prior question Um, if you have if you pay for expansion pack nso, you will get free Of visual performance upgrades for your switch games on switch 2 No, I don't think I don't think it would be that way Well, it's my dream speculation whistless prediction. Okay. Yeah, we have the top tier of nso. It's free upgrades I Think it'll stay exactly the same as it is now Um, and I think they just they'll just continue to add more consoles. I think we're gonna probably get Uh, another sega console maybe dreamcast I think dreamcast gamecube Saturn Do I think all the sega systems? Yeah, eventually just be all of them and I think I think I think that even even consoles like Atari Can actually have potential make. Yeah Yeah, I did the whole sega thing opens the door to if nintendo can get contracts with other companies But they're not clearly going to get one with playstation and I doubt xbox is going to do much I'm about to say xbox on nso all the old systems leo geos Ataris magna boxes fill up cdi I know that nintendo games on the damn thing The memes continue I wanted to mention that I did I mentioned earlier, but this is the question for it is, um, I think nintendo eventually might add, uh Kind of a streaming thing to it, you know when it comes to movies once they have enough movies Um, you know may I think that we would probably get movies from nintendo from nso I directly I'm directly from their own little Streaming area as part of nso like I think it'll be a peacock membership Yeah Like nintendo flicks That's actually really good. So, um if they just partner with peacock and it's you have a free cut peacock membership on nso expansion pack That's just for nintendo stuff. That's insane And that's a lot more value fee to get access to the rest But it's cheaper than getting a solo peacock membership I also think that they there might be some titans with with the super nintendo world too Because maybe you can you can access your account on three pass So because you know you go to the world and then you you you play games and you you accumulate points, right? Those points stay with you you can go you can go on nso and keep track of Who's where and where where your stats at so you can go back and play You know, I think that's people off expansion pack members get fast pass for the lines So I think there's ways to can expand nso One way that they're gonna tout is a big deal is because it was a big mess up on switch they're gonna bring local voice chat and Just the ability to message your friends to nso only on switch 2 and they're gonna act like it's this really big deal When it's just a bog standard feature of every platform But nintendo's It's just it just is what it is and what they'll do is they'll add the messaging as well to The phone app and they'll do whatever one else says you'll be able to do it through the phone app or locally on your system So if you're not with your don't have your system with you for some reason But you want to message a friend quick, uh, who's in a match on their switch if they want to play later I'll let you do that from your phone Again, this is all stuff you can already do at playstation and xbox to their applications So they're literally just modernizing their online platform And I think that they might try to make a big deal out of that which in the end it is a pretty big deal But it shouldn't be because it should just be the way things already are But I think they'll do that. I think they're obviously gonna add more systems a lot more games I think nintendo's goal with the subscription side of video game access is intended to be We want to have the number one retro game subscription service in the world And to do that they're gonna have to get all these other systems that they can along with their own On there and as many games as they can over time and as many licensing rights as they can And I think if they if nso carries straight over to switch and we already have all the games already on switches nso On the new one that'll be the first time nintendo's ever ever carried it for they never did it with the virtual console It'll be the very first time they've ever carried it forward to the next system So they're not starting all over which allows them to focus on more expansion and more expansion Which I think is something nintendo is going to plan to do and eventually have the number one retro game service on the planet obviously minus PlayStation and xbox, which is just You know, who knows maybe xbox comes around xbox and nintendo are the ones that are really buddy buddy them Like oh, they have a little og xbox games on there You know, it's one of those like man the idea of playing the original halo On on there. Yeah, just like maybe microsoft could come to some deal But uh, I don't think playstation never will they care too much about keeping things internal So, uh, but I think that is one way they could expand that's for like a game pass service So that's the dream right like yeah as someone who buys like all the nintendo games. I would love to just pay Say say it's 150 bucks a year. I just pay that and have all the nintendo games every year Hell yeah, dude, you know, which money I'd save. Yeah, for real It would you know With the amount of games they release it would instantly probably become the most subscribed to service on the planet In terms of video game systems it would it would just soar past playstation plus because it's like Look at the sheer amount of content you would get It's insane And it wouldn't be like game pass for some people. Oh, well, we didn't get any exclusives actually Excuse me is there a year we don't get exclusives from nintendo? No, there is Thanks. Thank you very much. We get several every year like a bad year is where we get four Okay, four That's like a top year for playstation. They drop four exclusives and yeah But a good year for us we get like 12 so Yeah, so like it's it's one of those things where I think that there's going to be No way that nintendo does it because they just feel like they make too much money on game sales they're good I I don't think nintendo would ever do a service like that At least for the time being So long as their games remain evergreen and can keep selling evergreen. They're still selling 2017 games for full msrp in 2023 and selling millions of them so It would take Basically all of nintendo's games stop being evergreen and I just don't know that we're in an era where that's going to happen Maybe it happens in an all digital era at some point. I don't know But right now we're not in an era where that's a thing. So I don't think that happened That's where he he does mention samuel mentions the xbox game pass coming to switch to I don't know that nintendo wouldn't be open To a partial game pass service on their system But game pass so far requires xbox live and right now no one else has been willing to like Let xbox live live on their system a long time there subscription So it would have to be a custom version of it that only has like xbox exclusives Because third party companies probably won't want to be tied into that And then it would have to be at a cheaper price and have to work with nintendo I'm not saying it can't happen I'm saying that a system on nintendo and microsoft work that closely together Would be a long ways off Yeah, nintendo a one part revenue as well. So oh, yeah, yeah, obviously. So it would all be a long ways off I'm not saying it's impossibility because microsoft wants their stuff everywhere Um, I just think that for that level of working together I mean nintendo needs a modern online system before microsoft would even Like consider trying to do it without xbox live. So um I do see I do see a possible rebranding of nso With the new with the new system Is it because you don't think it'll be called a switch if they have a new name? Yeah, see, I think nso is the biggest indicator They intended this to be the switch brand to last a hell of a long time Because this is a subscription service they named after the switch Yeah, so it could be nintendo online And that's this it could drop the s. Yeah, let's see. That's the easy solution. Yeah. Um, no Yeah, and they just continue to call nso the same way. It's what you mean. You mean like they should do I know I know We all know it's live it's xbox live like yeah, so, you know, we have one more question coming later Crispy tofu the whole talk about switch to controllers. I'm just curious What's your favorite controller of all time any console any reason why I think Andrew's gonna give his answer right? Yeah It's not your favorite controller. I like the giant a button No, I don't like I mean, I love the game controller I think there's many great things about it But I think my favorite controller is the switch pro controller and I have I don't own a ps5 yet So I don't know if the answer is my goddess use controller, but it might be because I've heard so many good things But switch pro controller is actually my favorite controller. You what's your favorite controller xbox 360? On xbox one, huh? I've never played xbox one. So okay, but it's pretty much the same thing. It's just it's just a little Yeah, it's the same more high quality more high Yeah, the thing is like how it feels in your hands. Yes 60 controller play specifically The best controller I've ever used for Nintendo switch in a pro line of controllers has been the the controller for Um Forgot the thing of this thing that is continued it from google the streaming service Yeah, I have that's the most it's even more comfortable than this one And then then then the ps5 one and the xbox one. It's just It's pure quality The most comfortable controller for me to hold is has always been xbox and the xbox series controller But it's not my favorite controller because it has a lot of drift issues I don't know why it doesn't get talked about more probably because not as many people own it But this is my fifth xbox series controller in the last year Oh, wow Who has the drift problems and they won't cover it under warranty And the only game I've been playing is basically madden Yeah, so i'm not even doing like something that's super intense on the sticks and it just it drifts every single This one isn't drifting yet I don't know if it was a design flaw with the early controllers And this is now because I this is the first one I bought that was one of the more custom design ones They had and I haven't had any problems with it since I bought it So I'm like if that continues then I wonder if it has something to do with their The the company whatever manufacturers putting go their white and black ones specifically if this one doesn't have that problem So I am a little curious to look up how the parts are being procured In order if there is a manufacturing difference because again, I haven't had any issues with this one, but I've got Four others these they got two white and two black ones that both all four of them had that problem And they got them very quickly like within two months And I only play xbox like a few hours a week So it should not be happening, but it's a very common problem a lot of people are having so That being said Because of that issue. I can't call it my favorite Um I've I've dabbled with a lot the place issue five controller is probably my favorite overall all around controller Um, it's not the most comfortable for me to hold although. It's the most comfortable PlayStation controller. I've ever helped The prior ones were all too small all those dual shocks. They all made my hands cramp This one doesn't do that. So this is my most comfortable PlayStation controller But it might be my favorite because of the feature set. It's all about the feature set of this controller The rumble is absolutely amazing in combination with these triggers It is something that you just need to experience to understand The sticks I've had no issues with the sticks. I know some people had some issues with the launch model sticks I haven't had any issues I absolutely like it the only thing that maybe Not as great as they they do go with a little bit of the broken up d-pad Um, so for people that like to roll it's not quite as easy to roll as say On um, like an xbox d-pad or something, but I am not a big d-pad user. So for me, it doesn't matter as much Um, I really love the overall Controller of this, uh, but it's not the most comfortable to hold Uh, just in terms of comfort when I'm playing It's the mobi pad It's a switch controller A third party controller. It's more comfortable to hold than the switches pro controller Otherwise it'd be the switch pro controller Um, or this one's super comfortable to hold too, but again the stick problems make me not want to even mess with it. So Um, I really like this one a lot for holding the guli kit king kong pro 2 is the best Switch controller in my opinion. Uh, but this mobi pad one is the most comfortable to hold I don't know. There's a there's a lot of controllers out there and I can go through a whole laundry list of ones I had like a whole bucket full of controllers Um, none of us we're gonna say joy con so you can guarantee that well I actually like the joy con because you can play like this No, my favorite we can play like this No, my favorite thing with the joy con is laying down and just having it at your hips Like it's great. I love it. But uh I actually have third party joy con that you can also do that with I'm a big big fan of the Nintendo 64 controller because when I get bored I can just hold another grip I'm just kind of kidding, but yeah You you really like you really like what's right in the middle, right that middle The joy stick that breaks that breaks and spews white That's the one That's the one No, if you if you pet the back just right you trigger. I do think the l r and z buttons are really good Okay, unironically, I will agree with that Dude, I will say for for shooter. This one made made it so great for golden I was dude having like you literally hold that middle thing with the troll it just felt like you're holding the gun This sweet. Yeah, that was the whole idea But like for other games I don't know hitting the z button and other non shooter games that feel a little weird to me But because it felt like it was specifically for shooters But whatever you got used to it because that because basically it ended up just being your shoulder button As you would hold it like this and have your other hand over it just looks so weird It was funky. Yeah I also think it's funny how the game controller was like nintendo's way of admitting they were wrong about the n64 controller Without admitting it because they just made it really funky. So like hey, yeah, we didn't copy Hey, we could have got the playstation boomerang controller that was Maybe that's the best controller of all time and we've just never gotten to hold it.

It's everywhere nintendo prime podcast is on everything billboards On the highway I mean you might have i'm walking on the highway. I wear this hat like everywhere I'm a constant billboard for my own channel. I get lots of questions. What's nintendo prime? google I'm glad you asked. I just say google it and I move on. I don't have a time to take conversation with everybody I used to explain it And then it started happening so often because people don't know what nintendo prime is like at walmart or something I might just google it. Just google it and the weird thing was one of the times that someone googled it Um, I was leaving the store and they were trying to find me And then they saw me walking out and they're like, oh, you're a famous youtuber. Can I get your photo? I'm like, I'm not famous but um Just make sure to tag me. I guess I don't know It was some teenager and I'm like, all right, cool Are you it Yeah, I I do worry about a day that the channel gets so big I can't go to stores anymore I am a little worried that that could happen someday Bro, it's a good thing by the way. It's a good thing. It's delivered. It's fine. But it's just like Am I I don't think it'd be an issue. It's going to stores just move to japan like foodie pie There you go. Nobody knows who you are. Listen, how often do people on the street notice you? Uh on the street. Well, I don't walk on the street very often. This isn't a city Like when you go out I get recognized a lot when I go up Really? Yeah My hometown started to like know who I am. Oh, maybe you're in a small town Well, it's 13,000 people It's it's very rarely happened to me and it was years ago I one time I was I was in an uber and someone was like, oh Oh, are you andreas restart?  Yeah, I um I actually had this happen once at a con in dc So dc is an eight hour drive from here I had less than 500 subs on my channel and I do panels at cons and I did a panel I got done with it and someone's like, hey, I loved your video about whatever.   Well at an event, okay I'm just to be fair at an event like that or like packs So like at an event where gamers are gathering that specifically watch our kind of content It's obviously a lot more likely that you'll get noticed by somebody at some point Um, then obviously not like just walking randomly to the pizzeria down the street You probably aren't going to get recognized and I'm not going to act like when I'm walking downtown chippa people stop But it's when I when I go to the local pubs or if I go, uh, to surprisingly wal-mart In my town, I get recognized quite a bit Now next the next round over which is bigger Uh, they have like 300 400 000 people Uh, I don't get recognized as much there. There are some places I go where I will be If I go to the mall for some reason But a lot of other places I don't it's weird And I I don't know I I used to never get recognized here. I used to only get recognized when I left wisconsin So I don't really know what happened Or if there's just somebody who figured out who I was and they're just spreading it all over facebook or something Yeah, billboard. That's what I'm starting to think. I don't know really how it happened Uh, and it guys, this isn't me saying I'm a big deal. I don't think I am it's just kind of It's it gets to the point. Sometimes it's a little weird. Yeah, that's cool You know, it's it's progress, which is cool. It's progress. It makes you feel it makes you feel good You know, I just don't want to be mr. Beast.
