lly need new updates and new, whatever, because they drop, they drop new card sets like every other three months or every other so months. And so if you look at it, they're going to be out of material to you, to add to the card game by the end of next year. So they're going to have to do something to add to, like something from the games or something from the flagship, it's going to have to happen to enable the cards. And that's what sucks about it, because I know that it's like from a TCG, from my perspective, the TCG, the TCG is like super healthy and really fun. And I love it, which is why I pivoted from the VGC. A little bit of Power Creep recently. A little bit. It's always had Power Creep. Yeah. And it's, yeah, anyways, but yeah, that's, that's kind of where I'm at. Like, I feel like that's what I'm talking about. I want Game Freak to not make something and I want them to cook. And maybe even if it is, just release it in like the very beginning, like, you know, January, 2025 release, that's fine. Just cook and quality control your games. That's all I want. I will say though, like, the difference in quality between Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet, like, Scarlet and Violet is so much better. Like, quality or just in terms of fun? In whatever respects. Just in terms of like, in terms of fun.  Like, the whole time, anytime, anytime anything cool happened, Leon would be like, Oh, I'll go handle it. You go just challenge the game. And you'd be like, what? Like, I agree. No, I think like, like I was saying, I think that Scarlet and Violet are the, the best, I think mechanically, and mechanically, story and also just like every gimmick that's in the end, Scarlet and Violet are the best Pokemon games that we've seen ever. Honestly. Like just there, there's such a reef, right? Other than maybe, other than legends. I genuinely like, like terrestrialization. But it has the worst sounds. The worst sounds. I think Scarlet and Violet are the best 3D Pokemon games ever made. Correct. Which isn't saying a lot. Yeah. But I don't know. There's a lot of gen, I'm a gen seven hater. So that's the whole thing.  Somebody says in chat. I, I think that the legends model, I think it's very disappointing. They did not continue at, at the very least the, the ability to just continue to throw and catch the whole, like that, that is my, that, that core gameplay loop of like sneaking up on Pokemon and like finding Pokemon in the wild and just having just throwing infinite amount of Pokeballs at them. That was way, that's like one of the most so fun, genuinely fun times I've had in a Pokemon game in so long. It's not fair. I think it might be my fair Pokemon game. But, and I think you could keep it as a separate thing from, from the mainline games. I think you could continue to do the RCS, which I, which I, are the legends model, which I think is the plan. I don't know. We'll see going. I think they're going to have both. Yeah. Because if they've done that in the past where they deviate, or there's like a spin off, like Coliseum or Battle Revolution, and then it kind of fizzles or something. And so I hope they continue to do a legends where they're either it's Legend of Jodo, Legend of Jodobo, whatever the hell. I think I would like to see, I think I would like to see a legends game in parallel. And I would honestly, I could even see them as overremakes. Honestly, just what they should, instead of remake, like they did with BDSP, instead of remaking it, just give us, give us the Nintendo Switch Online emulated version of, let's just say Black, we'll use Black and White as an example, Gen 5, Jodobo. Just give us the Black, give us Black and Wine, Black and White 2 emulated on the Nintendo Switch Online. You get people to buy that. Then you give us the Legends game that's based on UNOVA. And then you, and then you're set. Instead of making a full Fledged remake, you still appease the hardcore wanting the original game experience fans, while also saying, oh, here's this new brand new experience that you can have from Gen 5. I know it's never going to happen because, you know, they want to continue that. What is it? The, you know, the brand, whatever. But I think, I think it would be a bit more healthier to do than to have, like Ilka do a faithful remake as in tandem. Or I think they're going to learn a lesson from that. Honestly, dude, I'm like one of those people that wants there to be a Black 3 and a White 3 because, like, it seems very important to them to do the two versions, even with remakes, because they know they'll sell them. So they're not going to do. Yeah, that's the other thing is they'll make more money. They're not going to do like a Pokemon's D in 10 years, you know, after for X and Y. They're not, they're, they want to have two versions. So it's like, all right, if you want to have two versions, give us like Black 3 and White 3. And then give us a Legends game that comes out the same year, like the way they did with her Gen 4. What if they did a Legends game and it was two versions of that? I would cry.  Like, what if it was like Pokemon White? What's the difference? See, that's the thing is they would probably, that would probably what they do with like the Jodo, if they did a Legends Jodo or whatever. Like, like Legends, oh, yeah. Yeah, they would probably do that. Yeah, let's go. And or they could do like, I don't know how they, I guess they would just do Legends, Ciarum and, or not Ciarum, Reshiram and Zekrom. Like, and that would make that, then that would make sense too with the lore of the game. So, God, I don't want to give them ideas, but fuck, that's probably something they would do. The problem is then it makes it hard to do the singular Legend though, right? Like the, the Legends, that would be the Legends Dialga or like, well, that's not that, it's not Dialga. I meant um, Arceus. No, I wanted to say Legends Deoxys, like, you know, if they ever do go to that. Oh, I was just saying. Yeah. So, to be fair, imagine the Legends Mewtwo and getting to see like the story. It would be, it would be a Mew because they, they use the. Yeah. Yeah. And it's in the Legends games are usually based in like, very, very, like the very distant past. We have, we have the one example. But yeah, that's true. Andres, every time, every time that they've happened, but that was like, but that was like, actually correct. Those of it, is they were like, this is a brand new thing that's always going to take place in the past, you know, in the, I just, I guess my thing is it would be cool that they could also open the door. No, it would just be cool, like if they could open the door to like going into the future as well. But I guess the issue with that is if they do that, should they change your name? Should they call it Pokemon prophecies then? You know, Prophecies would actually kind of, oh my God, prophecy. You have two games, Pokemon Legends, prophecy, or Pokemon prophecies and Pokemon Legends. That would actually be kind of that's a cool concept. I mean, that's kind of like that would have Scarlet Violet. Well, and then that would also play into the door because Black and White also kind of play into that theme of past and future. Like Reshiram is supposed to be of the past and or representative of the past and like traditionalism and Zachary was supposed to be represented. I don't know like he's saying Dialga. Yeah, what's up with that? I don't know. We know your favorite I was thinking Zekrom. I know the the electric dragon, the black and I know a lot of opinions on my mouth said Dialga and I don't know and I saw I saw that person that we mentioned earlier say something and I need to find that Dialga that's a great Pokemon. Like Oh, yeah, I like to know about I had a ton of fun, but I but it definitely needed more time in the oven. Yeah. I agree. Yeah, I saw them say something early on. I wanted to acknowledge that person that taking knowledge. Yeah. Anyways, we're playing the DLC actually. Yeah, I'm starting to get the edge. Yeah, I'm I think I'm going to spring the to catch starters and put them in a pokeball. That's not a pokeball. You can put them in any pokeball way. No, Nate, come back. We can we can move. I was about to move us on to the next topic to the questions. No, come back about the box game. Is that what we specify? All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I'm going to start going through the Super Chat. Please go take a phone call. Okay. Where's the Super Chat? That's it. I don't even can I see that from my perspective? Hey, chat, chat. How are we feeling about the Pokemon Talk? Do we do we need to move on? You let us know. One's in chat. If you like Pokemon Talk, two's in chat if we should move on. This is see this is how you guys this is how you stream, by the way. You YouTubers, this is how you stream. This is how we do it. Wait. Oh, Nisquik Nisquik said, nah, get out of here. You use one of the episodes. So it's one you hate Pokemon and two you love okay. Hating Pokemon. Is that was that what that is? All right. I see a lot of news. Okay, so what's talking about? There's a few ones, but I see it. There's not a two. There's it. I see it. I feel like we've given the one a lot. This is the thing. What I would say listen, come February when they announce Legends Curum, then we'll be talking about Pokemon a lot, at least in my channel. We will be. Yeah. Yeah. So let's move on to the Super Chat about what do we want to see in 2024? What do we want to see? Whether it's going to happen? We'll throw that out the window. Do you think Navel wants to see that? Yeah, we'll come back. We'll just loop back around. Because he only put them up on the on the TV. Oh, my bad. It's okay. I mean, I believe in you, Eric. Yeah. I mean, Eric, do you know how to do it? I mean, Eric is literally the the whole story. He's gaming or no. Do you just take Nades of Everett? Yeah. Everyone's favorite game of the year. It's really not the first. Ooh. Cheers to the Kingdoms. I mean. I mean, yeah. Cheers to the Kingdom is up there. That's definitely, I think. You gotta answer this. We all set our favorite, but besides Cheers to the Kingdom. Cheers to the Kingdom was mine by the way. I'm looking at my Twitch right now. I'm like, what else was mine? The number two conversation I find more interesting because I feel like that we're going to see a little bit more variety. I also, yeah, No. 2, honestly, the Pikmin 1 and 2 bundle was pretty cool to go back and play. Interesting. But I think, you know, I thought I was waving around. I can't. It's a little bracelet. It was made by Cutie Cinderella. I traded it with her at TwitchCon. We made Taylor Swift bracelets and we traded them. It was pretty cool. Anyway, sorry. I was just acknowledging that chat. You know Pikmin 4, like it's interesting when we mentioned Pikmin 1, like because I'm so close to one. I mean, I've been talking about for a couple of weeks, but like, yeah, the more I play Pikmin 4, I'm like, oh, I have to do this. Oh, I have to do this. And so one, like it's not just I'm trying to 100% the game. So that means more than just getting all the main maps because there's also like the side story you can do with all of our weeks for the past. Then what's cool about that is that it kind of brings back that Pikmin 1 gameplay where you have only a certain amount of days to get everything done. Ooh, that's very cool. Right. And I love that about Pikmin 1. So they brought it into Pikmin 4. And so like I was getting the first couple of days was like, oh, I am not pacing to get through this. And then as I, you know, adapted, I did. So that was kind of exhilarating to kind of feel that and they put that into Pikmin 4. It's like a side option. Right. That's like going to end up four to five hours of gameplay that you can replay and you can do it a little bit differently. But then also there's something else you unlock after that that's like these challenges. There are the sage challenges. And I've done 9 of 10. The last one, then it's just it's really hard. Like they're very challenging. And then there's just like, this is all like post game stuff. Like there's just so much. I don't know Pikmin 4, like I think I think it's my number two. But I would say Mario Wonder is definitely my fourth favorite game of the year. Well, future redeemed. I really enjoyed it as well. That's an expansion. Do we count that? Do we count the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC? Yeah, you can count it. So, I mean, all five. So, Metroid Prime Master is also in there. Or can I count Prime Master since it's a remaster? It's your favorite. Yeah. Yeah, you can count that. Okay. I didn't know we had rules on what your favorite is. Well, there's rules with the game awards, apparently. So, this is on the game awards. So, yeah, that's true. That is true. Isn't there like a team like Spotify wrapped? Isn't that? Is that a thing? Or am I crazy? I thought I saw them do that. I found it. I already found it. Never mind. We're good. I'm chilling. These are my in terms of new releases this year is what I would rank. Tears of the Kingdom Pikmin 4, Metroid Prime Master, Future Redeemed, and then Mario Wonder. Although I think maybe more, I will give more. I might give Mario Wonder number four. I don't know. It's not to think about that, but that's that's it. That's my top five. Dude, non-Nintendo game. I know I know it just came out and like everybody's been playing it, but lethal company. Well, the question was just favorite game. It doesn't. Yeah, lethal company. And I gave my top five. That's definitely my number one. Like if I had to pick a multiplayer experience, that's my number one.  Like yeah. Yeah. So easy to draw lobbies. And everyone's talking. Oh my God. It's so much fun. It's so much fun. And it's like it's a horror game, but it's funny and it has the proximity chat and really just adds to it so much. Yeah. No, I mean 100% lethal company is my like non-Nintendo game, like indie game as well. It's I want you all to know this game was made and this is this is a testament to like how important giving children and giving people like younger folks like tools to make games and like having that those environments in Roblox or in Minecraft or whatever. This guy or this person, I think they go by they them. They are they made games in Roblox for a year since they were like 14 and then they made lethal company. And now it's a game that is outsold still in Roblox called all these cold call duties. And it's so it's really cool. And it's just really cool. Like if you ever see things like, you know, people using games to either educate children or educate younger folks, it's like a very important tool just because like again, you can have amazing experiences like this just pop up. Definitely huge shout out to them. I what's their name? And they're on Twitter. So what do you do in the game? I don't know anything about it. So the core loop is you are you are you and your friends are like hired by a space company. You land on different planets or moons rather. And every planet has a dungeon.   That in each monster has like different abilities, different things like some examples are there's a sponsor called the Bracken. It's an all black shadow monster. And it sneak tries to sneak up behind you and snap your neck. And if you look at it, it'll go away a little bit. Another one is there's basically their coil heads. They're basically weeping angels. You have to look at them and they won't move.  So this is my favorite is the my favorite is there's a little girl who haunts players. It picks one player at a time. No other player can see it. Only that player can see the little girl. So that you're like going crazy. And then it sounds really fun. I want to play it with. No, it's really yeah. And there's like better moons throughout the game. Like there's like stuff to obtain and strive for like like there's better maps and stuff. And the game again isn't like pre-alpha. Like it's like barely a thing. And the creators is also doing very good job at like adding new updates to it like consistently. It just came out in November and they've already updated it once with like a December update. Giving it like, you know, they added a new enemy. They added they added a couple of new items like it's like they're giving it like a healthy. What's the word? They're giving a healthy updates while the game is popular. So it's been very nice to see that as well. Definitely. And it's like, I think 20 bucks. Like it's so worth your time. So yeah. I've had a couple of friends try to get me to play with them. And I just haven't yet. But now you now you have sold it more than anyone. Oh yeah. No, it's so fun. Also, it's really easy to mod.  So the base game lobby is for people. But there's one that expands it to like 20 people. If you so wanted to there's one that like adds new suits. And there's one that makes teleporting easier. There's a mechanic in the game. There's one that adds like a new monster where there's there's like fire escape. So it's like an additional exit.  And it's really cool. I don't know. There's a lot of really cool things about it. Definitely recommend if you have not played it. If you have a better game to play with friends for sure. But so great. So fun. Well, it's a great game. Fantastic. I'm sorry. I'll go off my lethal company. All right. Mine's super short. My favorite game of the year is Tears of the Kingdom. Don. I don't have anything to say about what we were talking about. We were all saying our second favorite game. Yeah. No. Welcome to the conversation. No. I'm sticking to the actual question. Which was my favorite game of the year. OK. What is everybody's like oh yeah. Whatever. I don't know. I feel like lethal is fulfilling that phasmo vibes. If you like phasmo you'll like this. And then it also fulfills the what is it among us vibe of like that multiplayer. Everybody's in it.  So yeah. Anyways. Again I'm actually done now. It's a time. Pretty much right out throughout there. Do you think it's more like the switch to could be announced earlier or later with the switch to I feel like we answered this earlier. It was it was brought up casually. I don't think the flash cards really affect. I don't think so. How when they're going to bring up the next system. Yeah. Yeah. I think it affects a lot of things but that is one thing it doesn't affect. Yeah I would agree. And just want to do a double shout out here to James Knight who became a member and then decided you know what I'm going to gift five members as well. So thank you so much James Knight and to our five new members of the board. Thanks James. That's keeping it clean. This was more pertinent to the conversation we have in earlier takers extent said I would launch prime four first on switch to show off the performance and resolution then release to switch version a month later. That's like the Twilight Princess approach wasn't it? Then they do that a month later. I don't think it was that much later. They might have been a couple of days or a week but I think it's worth looking into actually Twilight Princess. It's interesting. I don't know how I feel about it. Oh by the way we're doing the Q&A section guys. I've got people watching it's just $2 super chats submit your questions. Whatever you want it to be can't guarantee we'll answer it depending on how personal you get but. So you're right. It came out in North America a Twilight Princess of November 19th. And this is from memory. GameCube on GameCube. Well the thing is it released in different region. There's a different reason. So Japan was December 2nd. Australia was December 7th. Europe was December 8th. On GameCube. Japan December 2nd. North America December 11th. So it was it wasn't a whole month later but it was three weeks later. So yeah. So if it's horseshoes or hand grenades I got it right. Got it. Cool. No you did. I said you got it right. Horseshoes or hand grenades what does that mean. I don't know but It's close enough. You got it right. Close enough. Close enough. Yeah it's close enough. What was everybody's non-favorite non-intendigamist year. Sorry I know that's like kind of not in line. That's okay. What was everyone's yeah. Nate. Sorry. Well why are you starting with me. Why is it why does it immediately. He's already dead mine and you were gone. So talk more. No. I literally. I literally not been talking this entire podcast. I'm good with it. Your podcast. Talk. Now I am. I am keeping it clean from here to the end of time. Your favorite non-intendigamist. Your favorite non-intendigamist. Yeah Gabe to clean. What that means he's not going to talk anymore. Of course all right. I'm just going to. Gabe what was your what was your favorite.  Legitimate. Did I not. He's going to host. He's going to rake it all. I said behind the scenes to Andres and Jake. We're going to go all the work. I'm not going to be talking. I'm not going to be talking. No I'm the host.  Where's Mike. What's my pet of the podcast game. Jake what was your favorite non-intendigamist. Game of the year. Um. Yeah I guess. I guess Final Fantasy 16 but it's kind of by default because a lot of the games that I think. Will actually be my favorite. After tears of the kingdom. I haven't played yet which is Spider-Man 2 and to Mario Wonder. Yeah. Gotcha. That I didn't really like 16 is the thing. Damn. For games that came out this year that I played this year. That would kind of be it. Damn. Understandable though. Andres. Um. Oh I haven't played that many games outside of my switch. That's a tough question for Andres. Well it could be. And it's like maybe not a switch exclusive. Like you like Dave the Diver or something I don't know. So I downloaded Sea of Stars and I'd never started it. Um. So probably that. I well no no. I've been playing Monster Hunter World in my PlayStation lately and I'm enjoying that. Ooh. Yeah. Okay. Yeah it came out. That's a good answer. Yeah I also beat Cuphead last week. Hey we can count games that didn't come out this year. I've got. Yeah this is games that we played this year. The problem is that yeah I haven't played a lot of new third party games that came out this year. Too busy. I want to. Content creators. I got the Platinum trophy for Final Fantasy 1 and 2 after I hated 16. So I just went back and played those.  Fall Guys. I like Fall Guys. Yeah that's fun. Yeah. I wouldn't say it's my favorite non-Nintendo game of the year. The only time I've ever played Fall Guys is when I've been like dating a girl and like that's the only game that she'll play. But I have fun. I will give an answer. I will give an answer. And I'm never I'm never better than that either. Giving an answer. Holy cow. Liza P. Oh good answer. Good answer. I want to play that one. It's on Game Pass. I've been playing a lot of it lately. Is it very it's very soul's morning right? Like yes the vibe I get it. Yes. That's why I want to play. It looks like it'll be a good one. Really good game. And then there's like I played Baldur's Gate 3 as well. I didn't get far enough into it. I feel like to make a determination yet. And then Spider-Man 2 I'm still playing as well. So I didn't really feel like that but Liza I think I'm still playing Liza P as well. It's just I'm a lot I'm I'm pretty much done with the game. I mean there's not that much left. Eric what about yourself? What's your favorite non Nintendo game? Phone Destroyer. No they actually they killed that thing now. His favorite not Nintendo game is Halo. You have a new mobile game you're playing then? From 2001. You have a new mobile game? Not really. Xbox OG. I was wondering why. You could be a mobile game. You could be a mobile game.  Phone Destroyer. Mobile gamer. No they they killed my my mobile game. Yeah. Yeah. No so funny thing is I think the only non Nintendo game I played this year I just went back and looked at my year in review again and I think the only one that has any sort of things is apparently Treader's Revenge with less than an hour. So I haven't seen anything non Nintendo. Like at all. Wow. That's probably like 20% of the game. Lego Star Wars. Oh sorry. Lego Star Wars had an hour apparently. There you go. So that's the one. Hey. Lego Star Wars Fox. Is it the new Eric? It's actually the best Nintendo fan here. That's the one. It's the one. Lego Star Wars Fox actually. Yeah. Wait which way go Star Wars the newest one like the remake? Yeah. Yeah. Skywalker saga. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. And then Mario Wonder Mario Wonder at four hours and then Sparks Hope at almost 40 and then Tears of the Kingdom at 124. So you played two games. I played two games. You played two games. Wow. Yeah. Fair enough. I yeah. I guess being the Twitch streaming stuff it's crazy that I went back and revisited like the Wii Sports Resort stuff. I don't know why I just was like compelled. I was like I got to do this. This is I don't know why I have the itch. I don't know why. And then I didn't find the game last week and it makes me want to go back and play them too. I don't know why I lied about my is a pee because I want to rescind my answer. It's Henry the hamster. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Mine might be the quarry or the the devil inside because quarries good. I played I played both those games on stream and let my chat make every decision. Yes. And it was honestly really fun. And I don't think I would have had a ton of fun playing those. They weren't bad or anything. But like playing it that way made them so much more fun. Yeah. I'm here for it. Boom. And he had a two dollars super job saying console plus Zelda remake 2024 equals CZR 2024. That's a reference to another rumor floating out there. We kind of talked about that. Yeah. Who was the person who put the rumor that I already forgot. There's so many of them. Nash Weedle. Nash Weedle. OK. Who's that bead CZR? I mean like I don't understand. We don't know what it means. That's the point. That's us at the point. You don't know. We don't know. It's just we assume it's Zelda because the Z and it's a play on Dr. Cercantoto who twice was Zelda related. Listen Nash Weedle knows. Nash You put that out there like I think like it's very very likely put that out there knowing exactly what people would interpret. So that doesn't mean he actually has inside info that doesn't mean he's actually right. But I definitely think he was alluding to something Zelda. Oh my gosh something Zelda's happening in 2024. Who knew? Nintendo only wants something Zelda every year. Yeah. But at least this is something if we believe him right. This is something. It hikes me up baby. Happy to responsibly.  Let's go do it. I'm there hyping combustible Zelda remaster. All the remaster like collapsible. Nintendo actually Nintendo delivers when Waker and try to print this to us. Right like everyone who has an Nintendo player account like they can you can ask for it to be shipped for free but upon receivable it just collapsed. It just combusts. That's it. You see I like my collapse on where if you go with certain you enter a certain dungeon. Out of order the game just deletes itself off your system. It's right there. Hard gone. Save file deleted. It just collapsed. You just you just opened a wormhole. You know fun though. If they were to make a Zelda spin off one day that's just dungeons like you just do they just send you to different dungeons and challenges and that's the entire game. So we got a two part question here from Sammy that talks about games. One of what we sort of touched on earlier but he might not have been here was when do you guys think the switch tube will get a trailer which I guess you could interpret that as different than a full reveal event. Then furthermore do you think there will be a traditional direct in February or is it going to be a mini or something else. So just too hard to figure out. So I mean for the first one. Yeah. It's a trailer airman. I mean they did a trailer for switch before they did the big event. So it's conceivable they could do that again. They could do a teaser trailer. And maybe that's what's in January and then a big event in March. It's entirely possible. It's entirely because it would be announced. Yeah. That is possible. I don't know. I don't know. I mean that's the only. Yeah. It's not in May. It's genuinely just like it's just so like it could be in February. It could be. I don't like there's no there's no signs of anything other than the fact that we only have games through like the spring if that. And so like it makes sense that it would maybe be either in the beginning of the year right like there but there have been years where where we don't know about pretty much the entire line I'm very curious. Very direct. So we like to say there's no signs like Nintendo's confirmed they're working on hardware and stuff they've been saying that since at least 2021. I mean. Yeah. Sorry. But what I think is most signs in terms of when we're going to see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I find fascinating though is that Furukawa did something that Nintendo never does. He specifically tried to address rumors about switch to not too long ago like specifically called out a couple specific rumors. And that's never really happened from Nintendo presidents in the past. And I wonder if we're going to like if there's like a super early reveal or whatever next year. I wonder if that is like the thing like to look forward to in the future to see if he comments on rumors again in the future because I'm curious why he wanted to go out of his way when there was nothing known by the general public who buys switches about any of this stuff. If like he's doing it because they know the reveal in it soon. And they're like we want to quench all this conversation so people stop speculating because we have the real thing coming. And we don't want people to have their expectations out of whack. But again we don't know. I mean this is a hypothetical future speculation point. This is what we do at the channel. It's going to be a conversation because I'm going to make it one. As for the second part what do you guys think is a normal direct to mini. I don't know what's your favorite Pokemon I mean the best like Charizard literally the best. I feel like it'll be I mean if it's if I literally release then it'll probably be a full there is nothing better factually better. But if it's a late switch release like if we're getting this if we're getting a switch summer slash like late spring early summer whenever hell they were probably going to see a full direct that's like this is what's coming this is what's coming guys get your booties ready.  I don't know that that's yeah that's I mean I think it's just the best we got I mean literally I think what they got to do is like you're all saying like OK so they need to have the switch to out there before they can talk about switch to games right. So if they do do a February direct which they may or may not do it's totally feasible they could push that a little bit but if they did that I would say they reveal whether it's just a trailer or a big reveal they reveal it in January and then announce their direct at the end of their switch to reveal and then that's going to be one of the most viewed directs and then I think you drop a couple switch to launch titles or exclusives or whatever right at the beginning to get because that's going to be the most you direct so you get all these eyes on the software that you want to sell right away and then you incorporate the switch to showing how it's going to be unique with that software in those reveal trailers. I think that would be the best way to do it and then talk about the switch to more on its own after showing a couple games then show a couple more games and then some cross gen releases but you definitely I think that would be a great way to do it and then have more details come out the switch to after that like the online like how the online is going to work can you voice chat the gimmick if there's going to be one stuff like that I don't know but that's a tough question that's a lot to unpack right there. Yeah it is. I just remembered that I think I made my predictions for 2023 a long time ago you know like last year and I think in that I did like a two pronged like set of predictions and so there was a time where I was like oh you know maybe switch two comes out in 2023 with with the news elder right like I thought that for a little bit a while about a while back I gave up on that a long time ago but I'm right doing a set of predictions and I think I said if we're getting a forgetting a new system where to get 3D Mario but I also said if we don't get a new system we'll get 2D Mario for the holiday I just remember and I got that right I was wrong about there even like even like bathrooming like a new hardware in 2023 but I did also say if we don't get new hardware 2D Mario is definitely happening this year. Definitely and so like you know I look at your question Sam and I'm I don't know I'm also sick and I think I'm just tired but it just happens dude I can relate I'm like the tires have ever been my whole life I think the show is coming to an end here I just I guess I just don't know I could I could give you a guess but I feel like it's just a guess like it's not even yeah there's nothing it's a base I mean that's a thing it is a guess so right I guess what I mean is though I'm not convinced either way like I you know I I'm convinced right now what I'm about to say this is this is what's happening I hyper responsibly this is a new we we've gotten rid of hyping responsibly it's irresponsible it's a blowout switch to event in January because of that this is going to mimic the Nintendo switch when they did the blowout back in January of 2017 there will not be a February direct they're going to be a full blow direct in March instead that's fair assistant comes out May then um early May it could come out March but I I think May I think they'll wait till after the direct for new in May so that direct will be the pre-launched direct yeah I I feel like Princess Beach show Tom I understand it's not maybe like to me like with Princess Beach show time that are shows Nintendo's plan for March like that that is their plan and so and and you and this you and I is that you and I have had an impasse on this this whole time they're going to keep releasing games on switch even after switch two comes out I don't think Princess Beach show time is a show stopping game that you just don't do anything else because that game is coming up and it comes out late March right but I think I just what March 24th I think it's the 24th I have it hey if he said it then it's probably true if it said that he's probably true because his is recall memory oh he's wrong not totally right even later it's even 20 seconds oh Andres you're slipping slipping just a little I just I just he's sick he's sick to be fair yeah this is not understood as full powers are you not keeping it clean are you keeping it filthy over there Andres well just why are you keeping these assumed substances tonight they were to help him but they cannot fix the mind in this current state I think I'm losing my voice yeah that happens that being said I think we're gonna end the podcast right there what do you guys for all be in here we're gonna go around the room you gotta tell let people know where they can find you what you got going on we'll start with Fuglam Austin buddy my name is Fuglam like I said I'm

can they find you um you can find me jake randall on youtube two inch destroyer on onlyfans and jake randall on twitter slash x that's it got it jay but short on just restart hi um what i got going on there's gonna be a video tomorrow i'm not sure what it is yet because it kind of depends on a lot of factors yeah i have an idea for my video tomorrow but we'll see if that's the one i make the thing is i haven't done the nintendo 2024 predictions video yet but also i don't know if i want to do it tomorrow but i've also kind of decided i want to do like the predictions live stream where i bring in other people oh sure absolutely that's probably the problem is if i haven't done my own predictions video on it i don't know if i can actually do the predictions live stream because you think you dominated too much because you haven't got it out yet i mean i could i don't know like it feels like it's okay to kind of go live and talk about my predictions after reading me the video and then talk about it with other people and get their predictions so i guess my what i'm wondering should i do the live stream tomorrow mention some things that i'm thinking but not solidify and just talk about it with other people but the problem with that is i need to have a good cast and i've asked a few people already dude and it's looking i i think that you should do the live stream tomorrow because a lot of people take breaks right now so it's a slow time so it's a good time people are looking for something to if people that like to watch live streams there's not like as much as normal right now and i'll come on if you want i'll keep it clean i would i would offer my services as well but i will be driving at like five p.m. tomorrow so i would legitimately just told you he'll come on i would like

hold on i finally found it


Most rewarding aspects of switching to a blended format is in the ways that I spend my time. So as I mentioned before, the time that I spend face-to-face with students really increases. And that's one of my favorite parts of teaching. So it's really nice to be able to spend one-on-one time in a class with over 40 students. I spend a lot less time grading. My first quarter as a professor at spent incredible amounts of time grading and writing down these responses that the students may or may not read. And I felt like this probably wasn't the best way to use the time. Since we switched to a face-to-face grading style, the amount of time spent grading goes way down. And grading becomes a conversation that you have with a student, and it's an opportunity for them to connect and ask questions. And since I'm spending a lot less time grading, I've been able to work on the content, the curriculum, and how that's delivered. And so that's nice to be able to have the time to do that. Because of the nature of the video format, we can pretty easily see where the difficulty points are. You look at the video playback and you can see the spot where everybody's rewinding the videos that are getting played over and over. And that those ones need to be simplified or maybe broken down into smaller chunks. You know, it's a traditional lecture. You've got, like, a 45-minute lecture, or however long it may be. And then, you know, sometime later the student actually gets to practice what's done. But with blended learning, you can really break those concepts down so you can have the 15-minute lecture, a chance to try it, another 15-minute lecture, a chance to try it. So it allows students to apply what they've learned in much shorter intervals. And that's a lot more effective to be able to do that. So just chunking a traditional 45-minute or an hour-long lecture into a series of smaller ones that students are actively learning in between. I think it's more interesting for the student. And then it's also a lot more effective because the student's spending a lot more time actually applying what they just learned. So the face-to-face grading is pretty motivating. We post a rubric on the assignment, you know. And in our course, a lot of the rubrics are based off of completeness.  And if you skip some of them, it's cumulative, so you'll miss those later on. So it's just the most important thing is that they do the work. And so no student wants to come to class and have to look me or one of the TAs in the face and just be like, I didn't do it. You know, it's embarrassing, especially in that group context. We have the rubric so that I can look at it and say, you know, we're looking for this, this, and this. And that's why you're getting an A, a B, a C. A grade is very real when somebody tells it to your face. The quality of the group projects have really gone up since we've created that space for them to work together and be able to create this Lego car together that they create. The quality of everything in that has gotten better. The sketches look great and the concepts work well and the teams have the ability to estimate how long it's going to take for them to build stuff. And then when they print out the cars, they actually fit together. It's really rewarding to see the students get better as the class gets better.


Families of newborn infants and young children with developmental disabilities face a special challenge. How to overcome the initial fears and hurdles presented by a disability and bring new dreams into the family circle. Hi, I'm Sandy Smolley, Secretary of the State Health and Welfare Agency. Today we're going to view a program called Early Start, a new statewide early intervention program for infants and toddlers with disabilities or developmental delays. As a registered nurse for the past 30 years, I can assure you of the importance of providing services and supports during the first three years of life. The Early Start program focuses on the entire family and their unique needs and wishes. Services are available in every community throughout the state through regional centers and neighborhood schools. These agencies enter into partnerships with parents, supporting them in making choices that will help their youngsters grow and develop. Additional information and support is available through Parent Run Family Resource Centers. Again, let me emphasize that the first three years are the most important building blocks of children's futures. Intervention during this special window of opportunity will bring rich gains in future achievement and social development. Let's take a look at some of these Early Start programs. Thanks for watching. I'm very grateful that there are programs that help us. I don't know what we would have done without it. It makes you more aware of the services that are available to the children. We get home visits. It's real good. It makes you feel comfortable. It always helps us support. Early intervention services are really important. We work with the family on identifying what are the needs, special needs of the baby, what are the family's concerns and priorities, and some families have resources where they've already been referred to other programs and we build on that to come up with the best plan for the child. Other families just have not had an opportunity to work with other agencies and programs and we help refer families and build a program for them. The services can range from infant development programs to nutrition services, nursing services. There's a whole range of services that we can place. A home visit means basically that it's a visit to the child's home by a professional or another parent, but it can also include a visit to a childcare provider or a grandparents' house or a daycare center. It's really a visit to where that child spends his or her time. And it's important for several reasons. First of all, it's important because it's convenient for families who have little kids to have people come to them rather than have to be going out to various places. It's also important because the people who are working with the family and the child need to understand the natural environment in which that family and the baby live so that any suggestions or help that they might give would be within the context of that family and really would be helpful. It was difficult because we never had a down child before and we really didn't know what to do. When we got hooked up with the parent-infant program, I saw a lot of mothers. They sort of gave me the jump start telling me where they had been as far as what to do first and that was to get hooked up in a program and just remember that he's a child first and then raising like you would have raised a child who didn't have downs. We're really zeroing in on what he can do more than what he's limited by. I think for parents, one of the most important things is to be around other parents. To be with parents who have gone through the initial shock, the initial phases of getting used to the idea that their child has some kind of disability and hearing other parents talk about what it was like in the beginning because I think parents, some parents feel that the way they feel, no one else understands that they are alone and how they feel and that they're going to feel like this forever. In a matter of one phone call, we learned about Amy's diagnosis and our lives were changed forever and it's taken quite some time for us to realize the impact that it's had on our lives. We suddenly saw ourselves as being very much unlike all the other parents in our community. We experienced ourselves not in the mainstream but outside of that and it was a very alienating feeling which did bring us closer together as a family and eventually led us to other families who were experiencing the same kinds of feelings that we were and we then felt a part of a new community. I think earlier intervention is critical for families. I think that Amy would not be the child she is without it. And I think that we would have been very, very hard pressed to figure out what we're supposed to be doing with her without that support. I think when faced with the choices of what to do now or what to do next for new parents of an infant who has disabilities it's kind of a frightening prospect. Nobody really anticipates that their child is going to be born with problems and when confronted with that you need all the information that you can get to best help your child and sometimes people are overwhelmed with information. What they really need is help and support and direction toward the best way to intervene and to relate to and with their child what to expect from their child. I think it's important most of all for new families and their parents to know that they have a baby who like any other baby needs to be loved and nurtured and taken care of. I'll give this as I'll shake yours. Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it say it. RECORDING RECORDS The most important thing is the transe in which the child is born to when you receive We have received support in the program. It is very important that children from very young age start participating, to see that they can do it. Give the child a chance to grow up well, to discover that within this group you can socialize, you can have that support that you need. Give the child a chance. A lot of people are not aware that we're here, that we provide services for parents. Give them support, not just support with finding services, but also support for the families, for the mothers, for the dads that are having a lot of problems accepting, they go through a lot of grieving in that first three years. What did I do wrong? How can I do it better? And we're kind of here to tell them, it's normal, you're going to feel that it's okay. It started off really rough because we didn't really know how we were going to handle the situation. And we looked to our parents to help a little bit and we did what we could. And it was just really hard. And so when we found out about the regional center it could offer us this respite care. It's kind of like, it's the God's end, it's what we really need to have. When you have a stressful situation like this, it's very hard in the family. And every once in a great while my husband and I will get to step out for a few minutes and have a little bit of time for ourselves. I see these parents who have children who have some very significant problems. And parents who are dealing with the kind of grief that sometimes feels insurmountable. And I see them loving being with their children and I see them helping each other and supporting each other. And I see kids do great things. As we come here each time, every week, I love it and I wouldn't miss it for the world and it's helped her out a great deal. It's been wonderful. They can play an extremely important role in the decisions that are being made about their child. The direction that the child's program will take will depend a lot on how they're feeling about just the services, the kinds of things that they need and they feel that their child needs. They're willing to help you listen to you and they're supportive and they give you a lot of moral support. And they make you feel like you're not the only one and then you don't feel sorry for yourself because at first you feel like you're just the only one in the entire world that has a problem. You really have to form a bond first and talk to the parents and see where they're at and they can decide if they want your services. We really think that this helps her a lot. Remember the first time we came here, she wasn't moving her legs at all. She was about one year old. And the very first time, the ladies here tied a ribbon and a bell on her feet and she went for it and then the first time she started moving her legs, before it never moved her legs. And I think that we're coming to the right place. I think that one of the important things about Early Start is that it can give parents the opportunity to get the information and really begin to make some decisions for what directions they want to take with their child from the start. When my son was little, we got home visits and center visits. What's nice about home visits, it's very convenient for the families. You don't have to take your child out. It's also a very one-on-one time and you can address what's important to you without having to bring it out in front of everybody that's there. It's just the teacher and whoever is in your home at the time. On the home visit, I basically am the link between the teacher and the mother or father or parents. I, you know, a Spanish translation. I feel great because as a Southeast Asian, I and everybody has a right to serve their own community and I feel great to work with the county here as partly as a liaison and as an interpreter. I come here, I feel, you know, you feel better, you know, you feel good like that because you still have to see how the kids not do what they've been doing and start doing, you know. Families and early, early intervention for little babies with special needs is very, very critical to their lifelong successes. When we work as a team, when we work collaboratively, we will all help have a more comprehensive picture of service to the family. We will do a better job in identifying needs of the children and try to then figure out the small steps to making a big difference in that child's life.
