What's up everybody? It's been a chill

week. Welcome to the WAN show. I built a

chicken coupe.

>> I did not have a chill week.

>> Nice. You know what else happened this

week? All kinds of stuff. California

wants to ban 3D printers that can't

detect when a gun is being printed. And

oh,

terrible news of terrible news.

Minecraft is getting a significant

[clears throat] system requirements

upgrade. Well, which is to say that you

are downgrading how easy the game is to

run, but you'll have to upgrade your PC

in order to play Minecraft. What else we

got this week?

>> GG Good Old Games confirms that GOG

Galaxy for Linux is in the works. That's

exciting. Another another win. Uh and

also apparently uh the US Department of

Justice has decided that uh deleting

files is illegal now.

Yeah.

The show is [music] brought to you today

by Op manager Nexus, Whisper Flow,

Motion Gray, and Hrefs alongside our rap

partner Dbrand, our laptop partner

Razer, and our chair partner also Razer.

Why don't we jump right into our

headline topic, which is, of course, the

big controversy this week. Minecraft

system requirements have been bumped for

the first time in 17 years. That's

right, folks.

>> The big controversy this week,

>> the official The official meme, but can

it run Minecraft? The classic The

original. Okay. Not the original. Can it

run Crisis was the original, but but but

can it run Minecraft was the meme

version?

>> I don't think I ever heard that.

>> But can it run Minecraft? Yeah.

>> What? What are you talking about? That's

such a thing.

And like playing Minecraft on something,

dude. Minecraft. Yes. Yes. 100%. Anyway,

Minecraft Java Edition, the original PC

version of Minecraft for Windows, Mac,

O, and Linux is going from Oh. Oh, good

lord. Wow. Oh, wow. These requirements.

These requirements. It's not too much,

but it is quite a jump. minimum

requirements. The game is now targeting

1080p at 30 fps on the fast preset. And

to do that, you will need, and I quote,

folks, a 64bit system.

>> That is 60 bits plus 4. That's that's 70

- 6 bits. You're going to need 64 of

them. 64 bits.

You will need you will need 8 billion

bytes of RAM or 64 billion bits of RAM.

Okay, that's if you have a discrete GPU.

>> That's a lot of bits of RAM.

>> If you are running integrated graphics,

you will need 12 billion bytes of RAM.

And I I can't quickly do 12* 8 in my

head. So, we don't even know how much

that is. It It could be 96. It

[laughter] could be 92. We're not sure.

Nobody knows. You will need a four core

processor.

[laughter]

Good lord. I mean, oh, you might have to

have a PC from 2006,

you know. It

um you will also need a Vulcan 1.3

capable GPU with at least 2 billion

bytes of VRAM. Um, now I'm obviously

memeing on this a little bit because you

could you could probably literally I

have found computers on the side of the

road

>> that could run this

>> that could run Minecraft,

>> but this is a pretty significant uplift

in the the recommended minimum

requirements. It used to only require 2

gigs of RAM. This could be really good

actually cuz if they were being held

back by those old requirements like my

god this is actually a very substantial

jump.

>> I'm going to be honest with you. Um I

don't uh

>> you don't think they were using it as a

guideline?

>> I I I I don't think they were and I

don't think that this is going to make

that much of a difference. I suspect the

increase in system requirements is more

>> to run your Discord in the background.

We actually did a video recently

comparing Oh man, there's going to be a

bit of a spoiler here. Okay, so go like

this. Okay, here's your spoiler

avoidance instructions. Go like this and

go like this and go like this. La. Okay,

do it for about

13 seconds. I'm just going to do this

real quick. Okay, in our exploration,

Linux used significantly less RAM than

Windows

>> in the background. not as much of a

difference in the running foreground

applications, but so much less in the

background that on Windows you just

fundamentally have a certain amount of

RAM that you just need before you can

run anything. So, what I believe is that

this update is more reflective of how

much RAM Windows needs to suck in the

background while you're playing

Minecraft. I I haven't actually seen

what the what the fidelity increases

are. Are there any fidelity? I don't

know that there is any.

>> It seems to me that they're just kind of

catching up with the times. As for

running on recommended, the game is now

targeting 1080p at 60 fps with the fancy

preset for for recommended. And to hit

that target, you will need Okay, this is

where things get a little real. 16 gigs

of RAM, a stronger, modern processor,

and a more capable graphics card with 6

gigs of VRAM. Note, it used to only

require 4 gigs of RAM as it's uh for

recommended.

Wow.

So, the people that are now below

minimum requirements

accounts for 1.42%

of of users on Steam. So, I am grabbing

the 4 gig and the less than 4 gig

categories and that they do seem to be

shrinking with 16, 24, and 48.

>> Mhm.

>> growing. Kind of surprised it's not 32.

>> I have 48 and it's cursed and I hate it.

>> Yeah,

>> I don't like it.

>> Well, the thing about it though is that

especially with RAM prices being what

they are, if 32 gigs is not enough and

64 gigs is not affordable,

>> you do what you can. Yeah. I mean, 48

gigs is a pretty pretty nice place to

be, actually.

>> Yeah.

>> Anyway,

>> it's uncomfortable.

>> The change happened on the 21st of July,

and this is a quote. Performance and

visual quality are no longer guaranteed

on hardware below the new minimum. Also,

this is fun. I don't I don't know who

was working on the doc here, but

>> there's some there's some there's some

fun

>> find the hidden text like AI

optimization going on in the WAN doc

helping to reinforce this point I guess

for any AIs that are reading this

document. Anyway, our discussion

question here is what do you make of

this requirement change given the

ongoing RAM apocalypse? I mean,

>> we're talking DDR3

grade specs here.

>> Yeah, I think they're probably accepting

where they are at more than changing

much.

>> I mean, what is what is what what was

the requirement? 16 gigs.

>> 16 gigs DDR3. I'm pretty sure that's

actually still pretty affordable.

Okay, so I can pick up a couple HyperX

Furies for

That's kind of more than I would really

Wait, hold on a second. Capacity. How

Oh, okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here

we go. Most popular. Sure. Color.

What if I don't care? Oh, are they just

all Are they just all the same price?

Oh, yeah. They're just They're just all

the same price. So, yeah. 40 45 bucks.

Yeah, that doesn't seem like the best

deal. These guys seem

>> That doesn't seem great.

>> Yeah, I think we can I think we can do

better than that. Okay, here's a

2x8,600.

>> There you go.

>> $14. And yeah, the shipping's Oh, the

shipping. Oh, okay. That Yeah, that's

just Canada things. That that's pretty

reasonable actually for

>> if you're not in Canada that'll be a lot

cheaper. Shipping in Canada is a

nightmare.

>> Yeah. So if you're in the US and you're

buying from someone in the US, you could

probably get it for just like I don't

know eight bucks shipped or whatever.

With that said, shipping rates have been

going up like so many things.

Anything to do with fuel pretty much. Um

what else we got here? Our other

discussion question is here's a little

Carpool Critics/ They're just movies

throwback. Riley was pleasantly

surprised by the Minecraft movie. Who

prepared this? Okay. By the Minecraft

movie and he quite likes it. Did you see

the movie? What did you think? Did you

see the Minecraft movie?

>> Oh, it was it was pretty okay.

>> Chicken joggy.

>> Yeah, it was very it was obviously

designed for pretty much every scene to

have something, you know, GIF worthy,

memew worthy, Tik Tok worthy. Um,

but it it got like it kind of it kind of

worked. Um, I didn't I wasn't I wasn't

expecting to laugh at Jason Mimoa's

performance like when he meant for me to

laugh at it, you [snorts] know, like I I

watched I watched Aquaman and I laughed

like belly laughed like frequently

during that movie. I don't think it was

meant to be funny, but it was just it

was so stupid. Um, like they did you

watch Aquaman?

>> No.

>> Oh man, it was just [laughter]

>> I had no no desire to watch Aquaman. I

like kind of thought about maybe seeing

the Minecraft movie. I had no desire to

see Aquaman.

>> It's worth it. It's worth it because

they'll just like you know you know how

like uh you know how like a superhero

will always like land like in this pose,

you know? [snorts] Aquaman takes that

>> like far beyond.

[laughter]

>> It like it just it goes on.

>> We should do a

>> forever. It It never ends. It's It's

crazy.

>> We should do a Computer Man movie.

>> So I What?

>> That would be kind of sick. We used to

do like uh like remember that uh

Stormtrooper rap? Oh, I guess I was I

was remembering that today because I

actually sent you this.

>> I came across that Andrew Tate had a

short rap

>> attempt at a career. [laughter]

It is exactly as bad as you would think.

>> Okay. I'm excited to check that out.

>> Um anyway, I

>> What?

>> Yeah. Oh my You know what? You obviously

don't play it.

>> No, no, no.

>> But you you should just just do it. Just

just watch it. Anyway, I wasn't

expecting to laugh unironically at Jason

Mamoa, but I actually thought he was

pretty good. And Jack Black always

brings it. I [laughter]

>> like seconds in. It's hilarious.

[laughter]

[gasps]

>> It's even worse with audio.

>> His smile is just so brutal.

>> Imagine having negative riz.

>> Yeah,

I think that might be like the worst.

Yeah, someone one. [laughter]

That's where I started laughing.

What a dork. [laughter]

Oh, that's awesome.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay. Well, I'm excited to properly

check that out later.

>> Yeah. My favorite meme I've seen is uh

going from incel to incel. [laughter]

[gasps]

>> Um anyh who, what were we talking about?

Yeah. Minecraft movie. I I actually I I

actually I I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it

quite a lot. Um,

>> I I had I had kind of like a concept

that I kind of really

liked and I I got my got got it in my

head that I thought it would have been

really cool if um

if Oh man, I actually forget what it

was. Whatever the direction they went

with it was was fun, whimsical. I have

no idea. Did they do a second one

already or is that one still coming? I

can't remember.

>> Is it still coming?

>> Yeah, I I don't know. I have pretty low

expectations for the second one. Did you

end up seeing the uh Super Mario Galaxy

movie?

>> That's a cute name. Minecraft movie

Squared is coming in 2027.

>> Nice. I wonder what they'll call the

third one. [laughter]

>> No, I have not seen Mario Galaxy.

>> Oh, are you just like over movies at

this point? I feel like I I feel like a

a Nintendo movie would be pretty high up

on

>> I used to be very into movies. Um, I

used to go to, you know, Colossus like

all the time. I would go see basically

everything new that was coming out,

>> right?

>> Um, I was I was very into watching

movies. Um, and then I don't know,

something kind of clicked.

>> I think it was just the onslaught of

Marvel stuff

>> and a few other just like junk things

that came out. Uh, there was The Diamond

in the Rough. We went to go see Barbie.

>> That was fun.

>> That was fun. Uh, and then fairly

recently I went to go see Hail Mary.

That was awesome. Really like that.

>> I got to get on that.

>> Um, going to see Hail Mary has kind of

inspired me to like maybe I should start

looking at,

>> you know, what's in the theater a little

bit more often again stuff cuz I've been

completely disconnected from movies for

a long time. I am very exhausted on

superhero movies.

>> Too many. I saw on a the plane back from

Open Sauce. Um, I was trying to work on

my laptop, but the C was so small that

um I the keyboard was up against my

chest and I had to type like this.

>> Okay, nice.

>> So, like that gets pretty annoying

sometimes. So, I was watching a show

while I was trying to get some work done

and I put on I think it was No Way Home,

Spider-Man No Way Home. And that was

like that was okay, but I've been I I

feel like I've been able to stomach the

Spider-Man movies better than most the

other one. Are are those made by Sony?

No.

>> Yeah. Okay.

>> No, but they're just they're just they

have been pretty consistently pretty

good.

>> I've I've when I've seen bits of those,

I've been enjoying those more than most,

but just in general. Yeah. For for a

while, I've been a little just tired of

superhero movies in general.

>> This is unironically good.

>> Oh, yeah. Okay. I didn't even know this

was a thing.

>> Yeah. It was like seven years ago.

>> Okay. and uh it just showed up on my

radar when I was looking for like family

movies to watch with the kids and it's

rated like 94% on Rotten Tomatoes both

critics and audience and I'm like come

on you've got to be kidding. It's

actually really funny.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Very good. The second one sucks.

>> Yeah.

>> Even though it's also rated really well.

It was just on my mind cuz we like just

watched it the other night.

>> This is a spoiler for No Way Home. So,

if you don't want to take your

headphones off for a second, I'll put my

hand up when I'm done. Um, but when when

when the three guys come together, the

three Spider-Man.

>> Yeah,

>> that was cool.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> I like that a lot, actually.

>> No's great.

>> I thought that was that was pretty sick.

I didn't get to see the ending. The

flight was not very long.

>> Oh, okay. So, you actually have not

watched the movie then?

>> No, I've watched like threequarters of

it.

>> Okay.

>> But it was pretty good.

>> Is this an Oh. Uh uh. Wow. I'm really

glad we had that conversation. That what

a fulfilling and satisfying conclusion

to it. [laughter]

>> There you go.

>> Terrific. [clears throat]

I Why don't we jump into another topic

here? [laughter]

4 gig GPUs are back on the menu, boys.

Introducing the AMD

9050. AMD has unveiled their new RX950

with an 8 gig retail model and

surprisingly a 4 gig version that also

exists. The 8 gig 9050 is rolling out

first in the Asia-Pacific and Latin

America regions with a reported $279

price tag. ASRock briefly showed off a 4

gig RX9050 Challenger model on its site

before taking the listing down, but

screenshots of the page are still

circulating. AMD only lists the 8 gig

version of the card. A Tom's Hardware

article indicates that the 8 gig variant

has a 128 bit memory bus while the 4 gig

version only has a 64bit memory bus.

Wow, that is exactly the same number of

bits that your CPU needs to have to run

Minecraft.

What a coincidence.

>> Just to address some people in chat seem

to be confused. I did not lose interest

in watching the movie. The the plane

landed on the ground.

>> Yes.

>> Anyways, there one of the discussion

questions is uh who is this even for? Is

this 2016? What is this suggest entry-le

GPU market is heading? Is this Are we

gonna get better optimized games or

what? In my opinion, no. We're gonna get

more Roblox.

>> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And Minecraft.

>> What's the minimum requirements for

Roblox?

>> Oh, like nothing.

>> Yeah.

>> Uh, WCCF text Hassan M

Hassan tweeted that AMD Muchaba, I'm

going to try. Okay. Muchaba, we're going

with that. tweeted that AMD confirmed to

him that the 4 gig version is intended

for OEMs only, meaning it will be found

in pre-built PCs rather than sold as a

standalone graphics card. So, yeah, the

the answer for, you know, who is this

for? You know, what is it for? What year

is it? Um, is it's for very very budget

machines. And it's funny to me because I

feel like this is one of those things

that just kind of comes around cyclally.

Um, underspec crappy OEM machines have

always been a thing. The only difference

here is that we're getting an underspec

crappy dedicated graphics card so that

you can do some rudimentary gaming

rather than underspec crappy integrated

graphics that realistically can't do

anything. So,

I guess that's something. Uh, as for the

existence of sort of crummy lower spec

versions of cards that have cut down

memory buses and cut down VRAMm, that

has been a thing going back to my

infamous showdown with uh, Sapphire of

all people. I bought like a like a

Radeon 9200

SE or something like that. 9250 SE. I

forget what it was, but basically like

my my family wanted to run like some

basic game on the the family computer at

the time that I already had like my own

computer. And was it a 96? No, it was

9600 SE, I think. Anyway, it doesn't

matter. The point is that I only found

out after I bought it that it was like a

crappy 64-bit memory bus version, and

that was not advertised anywhere except

on like the European region

>> site.

Um, and so I I pretty much like I I

wanted an RMA. I wanted a 128 bit card.

And they basically told me to pound

sand. And I ignored Sapphire for years

and years and years and years. And I'm

over it now. You can tell. [laughter]

>> You can tell by the way that I'm totally

over it. Totally.

>> I mean, and you know what? This this

sucks because this is going to be like a

whole new generation of people is going

to buy a preconfigured system thinking

that they're getting a 9050 which isn't

great, but they're still going to see

performance reviews out there for what

it supposedly is and they're going to

get this cut down memory bus and they're

going to get this cut down memory

quantity and they're going to be getting

worse performance. And unless they are

pretty savvy in terms of running

comparative benchmarks, um, they're not

even going to probably realize they're

just going to like have crappier

performance. I I I hate this kind of

confusing

branding and I just don't think I don't

see any path to us getting rid of it.

>> Here's a question for you.

>> Sure.

>> Would you go for that or this?

$63. I mean, at that price Oh, obviously

this. Yeah, I can get this for

>> less.

Let's assume you're in the States. So,

this shipping isn't going to be $26.

>> Yeah,

>> it'll be something 15 or something.

>> Sure. Let's call it

>> But it won't be 26.

>> Let's call it 80 bucks.

>> Yeah,

>> 80 bucks shipped.

>> Yeah,

>> I would take the heck out of this. I'm

not going to get a warranty. Like, I

feel like we always have to acknowledge

that there could be.

>> And that is a negative. Yeah, that is a

negative.

>> I've had very very few. I I don't

actually remember a GPU fully dying on

me ever.

>> But there are, you know,

>> there are cases where it happens.

>> There's degrees of dead, right? Like I'm

reading The Princess Bride to my girls

right now. And, you know, there's

there's all dead and there's also mostly

dead, right? And so for a lot of people,

a failed fan bearing on something like a

GPU cooler, that could be a death

sentence. Yeah, I have that

>> because at that kind of a price, right,

we're talking this is $63.50. Okay, so

why don't we go ahead and try to find a

replacement fan for this GPU? You could

probably get it for maybe, I don't know,

10 bucks, something like that. But how

much is the shipping going to be another

10, 20 bucks? Zapstrapping a 120 to it

to be honest.

>> Not everyone's comfortable with that.

>> No, totally. Totally.

>> And

I disagree.

>> Sure.

>> I would zip tie a fan to it. Yeah.

>> But I also I I have to acknowledge

>> a lot of people won't.

>> Just because I don't agree with

something doesn't mean that it, you

know, doesn't exist.

>> Yeah. Totally.

>> So,

I understand why people buy a literally

way worse new thing,

but I I don't relate to it, if that

makes sense.

>> Yeah. Like you can get them, but when

that that is such a high percentage of

the card that you just bought.

>> That's like buying brand new tires for a

$1,000 car.

>> Yeah.

>> Like I just

>> Yeah.

>> I I I was

>> That's a massive percentage.

>> I was that guy with my old Civic. Like

literally, you reach a certain point

where a vehicle is worth so little that

you go, "Oh, it needs new windshield

wipers. Well, it." [laughter] Like

I guess it's gone then. Like I'm not

going to Okay, obviously exaggerating a

little, but I think you guys understand

what I mean.

>> I mean, that kind of This is not on the

scale of windshield wipers, but my uh my

fuel injectors in my car blew up and it

was like, "What's the repair for this?"

No, that literally genuinely costs more

than the car. I offered to give it to

the mechanic and the mechanic was like,

"No, [laughter]

it's not worth fixing." And that's how

you know

>> that they're not just like jerking you

around if you offer to give them the

car. And they're like,

>> cuz I was like, I don't know what to do

with it. And he was like, well, push it

to the um push it to like the the metal

wrecking thing down the road

>> and then they'll give you like a few

bucks for it, but you're going to get

wrecked because there's a lot of

non-metal materials, so they'll value it

at like the lowest part of the whatever

curve thingy, whatever. And I got like I

think it was like not very much money,

but yeah.

>> Uh hold on. Where we where we got the

Maxo Drive says, "Hey,

>> push it by hand."

>> I spent $800 on tires for my $600 truck.

Okay, I'm going to I'm going to be

honest with you guys. Once my car was

worth under about 2500 bucks, I stopped

buying new tires and I started just

buying like one used tire. So, by I

don't you probably never noticed this

because why would anybody look that

closely, but by the end of the Civic's

life, it had like four mismatched tires

on it, which I know you are not supposed

to do, but they all had some tread on

them. Like, I'm [laughter] just I'm not

going to spend that kind of money on

something that's not worth that kind of

money. It just

>> this this is

>> except my bike. That was an exception.

>> Mostly not on topic. And I you can't do

this with consumer tires. I think it

works specifically for this, but have

you seen people uh retread like forklift

tires and stuff?

>> I have heard of that.

>> That's actually crazy. Their tires are

different. You can't just do that. But

like it is it is cool. Wait, Luke's

Acura is gone. No. No.

>> Magnetic Flux asks, "Did you spend more

on modding your bike than the cost of

the bike?"

>> Yeah.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Pretty sure by quite a bit,

>> dude. I I've I probably sp It's a 2003.

like what what is a 2003 SV worth? Uh

for sale 2003 SV 650S here.

>> My my Acura, which is from 2009. I

bought it in 2013, uh has had one

unscheduled repair ever, and it was

minor. Um it costs very little. At this

point in time, I would consider

potentially spending more on repairing

it than it is technically worth. And the

reason for that for me would be is that

I would know the state of it. If I

bought another car at that similar

value, I don't think I'd be able to like

trust it as much.

>> Wow, these things are actually

>> Have you done timing belt? I think that

was a scheduled repair last time it

happened. I think I'm going to need to

do an unscheduled one now because there

is no schedule left, if that makes

sense.

>> These things are actually worth a fair

bit still. That's a 2012. Ignore that

one. 2006 3,700 bucks. Uh here's a Wow,

that's a lot. That's a lot of kilometers

on a bike though. 60,000 km uh for three

grand. Yeah. Um so I probably not quite

but I probably spent close to that on

the paint.

>> Um so yeah, definitely. That was not

about the bike though. That was not

about fixing anything. It was perfectly

functional when I took it into the shop.

It was about the project. It was about

It was about painting something.

>> Yeah. Sorry. I I said that very poorly.

I my car will do it'll like tell me when

a scheduled thing is up. Um I think it

genuinely stops doing that after a while

which is what I'm was referencing by

that. I know there's the interval

things. I'm coming up to a a decently

major interval repair soon

>> cuz I just passed

210 I think and there's one coming soon.

Clapped K24 Accord says they kind of

reach that age where they're just worth

one price as long as they're in decent

shape with average mileage. Every car

kind of reaches that. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a lot of types of vehicles that

kind of reach that point in their

depreciation curve. So, you could like

buy it and then sell it later. And like

girl math, it didn't really cost

anything.

>> I wonder if part of I wonder if part of

that is uh because people use them for

parts to keep their other ones going.

>> Uh I'm not sure. I mean, it's I know

it's definitely a thing. Like, um, the

shop that was working on mine said that

there were parts that they had a hard

time finding because they don't make

them new anymore and they did have to go

track down donor stuff. This is an

interesting conversation. So, Tim Tim

uh, whatever his name is, Tim TME in

float plane chat says, "But a sports

bike at your age with the family you

got, is it really worth introducing

splash possibility?" Um, you know, it's

it's a that's a fascinating conversation

cuz like at what point, you know, is a

motorcycle

more or less of like a like a you know,

bad? Like is it like is it that my age

is too old?

>> Cuz if anything, I feel like the younger

you are, the more life you have ahead of

you. I actually see it the opposite way

of

>> Are they saying because you have uh

people responsibilities now and you

don't have people responsibilities when

you're younger? Is the age really the

unimportant part and the family is the

important part?

>> I see. Yeah, I could I could see that.

But I mean, you know,

>> are they using age to describe life

stage?

>> Possibly. Okay. Okay. I interpreted it

the other way as like like at your age

um like

>> when with the way that they had worded

it I originally interpreted that they

were trying to say like reflexes are

slower and stuff and then they went a

different direction which is why I'm I'm

assuming it's more the like whole family

and stuff.

>> Oh that's interesting. Um

Gilmore asks is there a point in your

life where your life insurance is worth

more than you? Um, I actually have no

idea what kind of a policy Ivonne has

out on me. Maybe we'll find out someday.

[laughter]

>> Oh god.

>> Uh, and he says, "No, no, no, no. Like

family and all." Yeah. I mean, [sighs]

I get it, but like from my point of

view, it's um

like man, everything's a risk. Like

every time I take the kids up skiing,

like I'm freaking out a little bit,

right? Cuz like, yeah, I could break my

neck. They could break their neck. Um,

like there's so many things that we do

in life that you could do wrong enough

that you die. And um, mo motorcycle

riding is absolutely one of them. But I

a life without some amount of risk is

not much of a life.

>> Yeah. I I Well, I No, it can be.

>> And everyone has to have Well, I don't

know if I agree with that. With with no

risk.

>> You can never get in a car. You can

never get in anything.

>> It's a spectrum. Everyone has their

comfort zone. And and I'm not I'm not

about to, you know, pass judgement on

>> people should go out and ride

motorcycles right now, but like there's

everyone has their own lines and you

should just

>> We say the same thing about freaking

everything all the time on W show. It I

feel like we're not getting the message

across [laughter]

like in any of the categories.

>> Nuance on my W show. [laughter]

>> Get out of here.

Get out.

>> We had a food in the pre-show. We're

talking about it with this now. Like you

you got to find your line and just stick

to it. I don't know.

>> Yeahve. For some people it's a racing

line.

>> For other people it's a cocaine line,

you know. I don't [laughter]

>> Yeah. Like very clean in regards to some

people it's a mower line and stuff. Like

I It's all good, you know? Like

>> Yeah. You do what works for you.

>> I like I like Curious Bread's thing

here. I don't know what the origin of

this is. I've heard it before though.

Don't be too focused on trying to add

years to your life. Figure out how to

add life to your years. Like I um

someone else posted, "If I died

snowboarding, I would die happy." I

mean, the the the end moments there

might not be that happy suck.

>> Yeah, snowboard accidents can be pretty

can be pretty messy. Same.

>> Do you see the dude who is right off the

chairlift, but like suffocating under

the snow? Have you seen this video?

There's a guy like genuinely like right

off like they they get off the chairlift

and start sliding forward and someone

sees a board kind of poking out of deep

powder just like slightly off where

basically the offramp is and he goes up

and he's like, "Are you good?" And then

figures out the guy's like fully buried

under the snow and has to dig him out

and pull him up and the guy's like

barely able to breathe at first.

>> Wow.

>> Crazy. Um there are there are risks to

lots of things. Um, that being said,

I've gone snowboarding a ton. I've gone

off trail, which you're not supposed to

do, but it was a freaking blast. Um, I

wouldn't go off trail right now,

but I was comfortable with it and I

think it was an actually okay decision

when I did.

>> Yeah.

>> Um,

>> and like I don't know, we always we

always set the we always set, you know,

what's not okay as one step beyond

whatever we're personally comfortable

with. Like I have to admit I've had the

exact same judgy thoughts about that uh

that cave diver or no not cave diver.

The spelunker who like went through

devil's something. Yeah, that guy. And

like three people almost died trying to

bring him back out and he was in there

for like half a day before finally his

like heart gave out or something like

that. And he had like

>> this one.

>> Yeah, that one.

>> Um 27 hours. That's the one. Um, anyway,

if you if you have a weak stomach, don't

read about it because it's it's

horrifying. And yeah, he left a family

behind. And I'm I'm looking at that

going like,

yeah, that just seems like the kind of

thing that if you have people who depend

on you, you probably shouldn't do. But,

>> but everyone has their line. What is it?

Alex Hornold or something? Um,

>> is that the free climber guy? Yeah,

>> Alex Hnold.

>> I I watched that guy do Taipei 101,

which from my understanding was like

>> basically whatever for him, like not

even hard.

>> Yeah.

>> And I just like I almost wanted to throw

up

>> watching him standing on the top of

Taipei 101,

>> no ropes, no supports, no nothing.

>> He's I'm pretty sure he's a wife and I

think he has kids.

Um

>> yeah.

>> Yep. He has two two kids. So, everyone

has their line.

>> Yeah. Ryaw brings up a good point. He's

like motorcycles are an interesting

topic for this type of a discussion

because they're going to be close to the

line for most people either on one side

or on the other side. Yeah.

>> Um, you know, the big thing for me on

the motorbike is that if there

mistake, the consequences are much worse

than in a car.

However, the increased buffer space that

I can maintain on a bike and the

increased situal awareness

and increased visibility that I have

>> in my opinion with my skills as a

defensive rider. And I don't not sure if

everyone's familiar with that term, but

basically it's like being a very aware

motor vehicle operator. It's like the

opposite of being like an aggressive

driver or rider. Basically, what it

means is you are constantly looking for

how do I create the most buffer space

possible around myself. Um, on a

motorcycle, I find that easier.

>> I' I very often try to and I I've had

some actually really fun scenarios with

this in the past where you can tell that

they figured it out and they they want

to do it as well. But I'll often try to

be like a I'll try to like adopt a

biker.

Like I'll create a big buffer between

the biker and I and when we come up to

stop lights, I'll stop pretty far back

and then just make sure they always have

a ton of space. So if something bad

happens in front, they can fall back

really easily. Uh just try to make it

easier. One thing that I found really

interesting was when we try to do that

thing around Taiwan, the original plan

was scooters.

got like no push back from most people

about the scooter itself.

>> You'd have gotten push back from me.

[laughter]

>> I've ridden on a scooter in Taiwan.

I would not want to again. And I'm and

I'm a motorcyclist. Like I

>> Taipei itself is nuts.

>> Yeah.

>> It gets a lot better.

>> Uh-huh.

>> Like way better.

>> Okay.

>> But Taipei itself is is nuts. Yeah.

>> But it it was interesting to me. There

was people who suggested against it

because of a variety of different

reasons, but I've had people in my life

that are like never get on a motorcycle

ever that were like, uh, well, make sure

you're aware of these things. And I was

like, uh-huh.

>> What's the difference?

>> It was very interesting to me. I don't

know.

>> Because in my mind, most

>> the risk is the people around you,

right? Yes.

>> Yeah. So, it shouldn't matter. I'm still

fully out in the open.

>> Yeah. You have no cage.

>> Yeah. So I I found that

>> why is a scooter okay?

>> I'm not sure.

>> I think there's something

like the word motorcycle people are like

oh those are scary

>> but scooter is just such a friendly word

so it's just okay

>> maybe

>> that is

>> I mean it was it was an interesting part

of the whole thing was as I was like

telling people what I was going to do

seeing their reactions to it.

>> What what was what was your mom's

reaction?

Uh, I think I just told her I was going

around Taiwan. It'll it'll [laughter]

>> Okay.

>> Although my mom is a very pro

live life to the fullest,

>> right,

>> type of person. So, I think she would

have heard the idea and been like,

"That's pretty cool to be honest."

>> Mhm.

Which is why you didn't tell her.

[laughter]

>> [gasps]

>> Well, I don't think we even necessarily

knew like what we didn't really know

what the plan was until

very very close up to it.

>> It's interesting. So, Bookhorse

justifies this saying scooters are

typically slower and not having to

manage the clutch does make it easier,

but like

I don't know, maybe it's just cuz I've

been like I learned to drive on a on a

standard transmission, but to me the

clutch does not significantly

increase the the the mental load of

riding a motorcycle. Um,

but maybe I uh But there's so much

wobblier, says Bacon. Yeah, I've

actually I've only ridden as a Have I

ever driven a scooter? I think I only

rode as a passenger. Dennis was driving

me, which probably didn't help,

>> dude. When Dennis drove me, it was wild.

>> The weight distribution is just

>> Yeah. Oh, yeah.

>> Oh, it was horrible.

>> Yeah.

>> I felt way more secure to drive myself

around. And that is not Dennis's fault

at all. I [laughter] just I had to sit

on the back. Like it just didn't it

didn't make sense.

>> Yeah. Danvibbe says, "A clutch also

gives you more control." Yeah. Which is

which is so true. Like being able to

manually control my gears. Um and maybe

this is I don't know. Maybe this is like

a like a hubris thing. Like maybe I I

just think it does. But I've always felt

like manual control over my gears gives

me way more control. Whether we're

talking like driving in snow in a car or

whether we're talking about a

motorcycle, I I love manual gear

shifting.

>> I think it makes sense. Part of the

reason why I think it makes sense is

because uh it keeps your focus on the

act of driving more.

>> I could see

>> and like what's happening with the car

and why. Uh so you're going to pick up

on more things and be more in tune with

it. Makes sense to me. Even as someone

who doesn't do that and can't do that, I

think I understand the idea. It's like a

lot of manual processes. Yeah, I don't I

I enjoy it. How did we get on

motorcycles from 4 gig GPUs? It doesn't

matter. Let's move on. Do you want to

pick something?

>> The fan replacement, spending too too

much of a percentage on something to

replace, repair it, whatever.

>> Do people like this about this show?

[laughter]

>> Never.

>> Is this the appeal or is this the worst

part?

>> Yes, they like it. [laughter] This is

the best part.

>> Okay,

>> this is why I don't redirect you back on

topic. [laughter]

Uh, I'm I'm picking something up there.

We can't even read chat anymore. It's

going so fast.

>> Uh, Blake Ma Maverick says, "My ADD

does." Speaking of, um,

>> I asked for I asked for a goodie bag

from my doctor. Uh, so I'm actually

going to try out some short acting, uh,

ADHD medications over the next little

bit. Yeah. I It was actually a

surprisingly simple conversation. So,

uh, back when Ivonne was working at the

pharmacy, I was I've always been very

curious if it would help me focus better

in sports because, um, my my ADHD homies

out there are going to be able to relate

to this. Okay. [clears throat]

When he serves, play a net shot. When he

serves, play net shot. When he serves,

play net shot. He serves, lift. You

know, like it's just you can't like I

can't I can't retain a plan in my brain.

um when when I need that kind of focus.

And so I've I've always been kind of

curious like,

you know, if I just was on Rolin or

something like I was when I was a kid,

could [laughter] I could I play the net

shot? And so back when Ivonne was

working at the pharmacy, I was like,

"Hey, like you have pockets in the front

of your, you know, your your uh not not

robe, not apron, it's a lab coat. You

know, you got pockets. like what if a

couple what if a couple aderalls fell in

it or you know whatever, right? Um and

she she's like the straightest arrow.

She she

>> Yeah, it's never going to happen.

>> Oh, dude. Dude, she was like, "That's

actually a class whatever schedule,

whatever thing. So, if a pill goes

missing, blah blah blah." I'm like, "Do

pills go missing?" She's like, "Well,

yeah, pills go missing all the time."

And I'm like, "Okay, so then what

difference is it you if you're the one

who took it versus obviously someone

else took one at some point?" And she's

like, "Well, it's a class, whatever,

schedule, whatever." Okay, forget it.

So, she she would never smuggle me

anything. Um,

and she was always like, "Okay, yeah,

just talk to your doctor." I'm like,

"Oh, it's such a hassle. I'm probably

going to have to go see a shrink again

and blah blah blah blah blah." So, it

turns out that I was chatting with my

doctor about this, and this is not the

same one that gave me dog medications,

in case you're wondering. Um, real

doctor. And, [laughter] uh, I don't

know. Basically, I was just like,

>> it would have been funnier if it was.

>> It was a It was a phone consult.

[laughter]

>> I forget what What was that? Was that

the uh I think that was the treatment

for the bites on my arm. Yeah, that's

right. That was antibiotics. Did I ever

actually like say that? Uh-huh.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Oh, I Well,

>> I can't remember.

>> I don't know. You did to me.

>> The the the point is um I So, it was

like just a phone consult. And I was

like, "Hey, so this might be like a

weird request, but am I allowed to just

have like a like a like I literally

called it a goodie bag. Am I allowed to

have like a goodie bag of different ADHD

medications?" And she's like, "Explain."

And I'm like, "Well, okay, let me

explain. Like I was diagnosed as a kid

and I was on I was on rolin and uh my

parents to their credit after forcing me

to go on rolin. When I explained I would

really like to not do this anymore

because it completely changed my

personality. They were like okay. And

you know after a short experiment we

were off it. I got a really good report

card that term and then went back to my

usual shenanigans. Um anyway the point

is um yeah I had ADHD I have ADHD. I was

diagnosed as a kid, but like not like

every kid in the '90s was like like I

had it and um I want to use it for

sports and [laughter] and she's like, "I

[snorts] mean, is this a

performance-enhancing drug?" And I'm

like, "Well, I I'm not I'm not competing

for money. I don't think it matters."

>> Um

>> and she's like, "Okay, well, guess what?

There's all kinds of there's all kinds

of modern, you know, pills and they have

some that are like very short acting.

Like you can get ones that are only good

for like 3 to four hours." And I'm like,

"Oh, okay. So, this is basically just

like a like I can just pop like a focus

pill." She's like, "Yeah, pretty much."

And I'm like, "Okay, well, I'm going to

I'm going to give it a shot." She's

like, "Okay, so I'll give you like five

of each and uh feel free to let me know

if it works for you." I couldn't believe

how easy it was to give you to prove

your previous diagnosis or anything.

>> No, I mean, I have a pretty good

relationship with my doctor and like I

don't ask her for controlled substances

very often. [laughter]

So, I know this is a thing.

>> That's cuz if I'm going to do that, I go

to my vet. [snorts]

[laughter]

[gasps]

>> Yeah. I mean, it's interesting. I I just

love that like instantly when you said

that someone in chat, let me go see if I

can find it. [laughter] Oh, it was so

funny.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah. There it is. Wy draft

just in all capital. There's a few

people that are like, "Oh, and blah blah

blah blah blah." And Wy draft is just

all capital letters. Warn the staff. And

then a little bit goes behind. He just

says combat pay. [laughter]

>> That's funny.

>> I mean, he's probably gonna chill out.

He'll probably be sleepy at work or a

little more more chill. Isn't that

normally how it goes?

>> I don't know.

>> If he actually has ADHD, he's just going

to be like, "Yeah, I can get my work

done. This is this is fine."

>> Mr. Blonde says, "Presumably, your

doctor should have access to your

medical records." So,

>> you'd be surprised. [laughter] actually

very complicated and further complicated

by the fact that my parents split up and

couldn't agree what my name was.

>> So, um

>> I don't feel like I remember this.

>> I don't think I've ever talked to you

about this.

>> Okay.

>> I did not go by Lionus Sebastian for the

first decade of my life.

>> What's your other name?

>> Laura.

>> I'm going to keep IT A SECRET.

>> WHAT? NO.

>> Um

>> and it makes me want to break things.

[laughter]

shaking.

>> Not you. No, not him.

>> My legal name object.

>> My legal name has has always been Lina

Sebastian. So, for what it's worth, you

know, my lore accurate real name, but

everyone from my school.

>> I am so bothered. [laughter]

>> Okay. Sorry.

>> I like Ana Hikash's answer. Lionus

milkman Sebastian. [laughter]

>> Oh man.

>> Um, so, uh, where where was I going?

Yeah, every everyone from my school to

my doctors to

like random courses that I signed up for

to an entire side of my family knew me

by a different last name.

>> Last name?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, no. Like Lionus has always been

Everyone agreed on Lionus. I thought it

was first name. Last name is like

>> less.

>> And we all agreed on middle name. We all

agreed on middle name.

>> Okay. So, it's not milkman.

>> No. No. Yeah. No.

>> Last last name is is interesting, but uh

I thought it was first name and I was

like, what the hell?

[snorts]

>> Okay. All right.

Um

yeah, speaking of how the heck did we

get here? Um, so you have it. Are you

gonna try it?

>> Uh, I don't have it yet.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Yeah, I'll get it soon.

>> Gotcha.

>> Um,

>> are you doing that like crazy I don't

know if you want to talk about this, but

I think it's nuts. Are you doing that

thing where you get pills shipped to

your house now?

>> No.

>> It's wild to me that that's a thing.

>> It's wild to me that it hasn't been a

thing.

>> Both are kind of crazy

>> and that it's suddenly a thing. Yeah.

But it just seemed like everything was

so controlled needing to go throughies

and blah blah blah blah blah blah and

now they just like ship it around and

like the people shipping it.

I just feel like there's such a huge

opportunity for like

drug theft issues and stuff, but it just

seems to have never come up.

>> Is that a is that in Canada? I would

never ever want

>> It's in pills shipped at my house.

>> It is absolutely in Canada.

>> And who who talks to you about them?

Like are are people on medication?

>> It's an online pharmacy. Yeah. You just

get like basically routine like

subscription deliveries of like in some

cases some pretty serious drugs.

>> That's uh crazy.

>> It's wild. Yeah. Someone's saying common

in the USA. I I think it started down

there. Um

but yeah uh there are actually

>> a variety of them in Canada. I think

>> uhies I go to will deliver drugs to your

house now. But the pharmacy does not

like some

>> Well, this is an online pharmacy.

>> Okay. So, like a like a work home of

type of thing,

>> I guess. Maybe.

>> I don't know. It feels

>> I get my testosterone shipped to my door

from the pharmacy. I just have to show

my ID. Yeah. I mean, maybe there's

different levels. Um, the one person

that I know that gets it done uh doesn't

have to show ID, but maybe maybe there's

different maybe it depends on what

you're getting.

>> This is wild. I just I just Googled my

dad's name because the he was a milkman

at one point and

>> um so that's that's why I was like well

actually about you [laughter] know

milkman thing

>> and uh if I Google my dad's name he

actually does yield an AI response as a

person who is notable for some reason

that is enough for him to come up in an

AI summary and um

It turns out that um the thing that AI

knows him best for is as a Canadian

prolific sperm donor. [laughter]

[laughter and gasps]

So he's known for in part you

>> in a way.

>> No, I'm the one uh uh I was still

>> what's it called? um

legitimate offspring.

>> Yeah, you got addicted to it.

>> That's a form of sperm donation.

>> Well, um yeah. So, I mean I don't I

don't know if I've ever like mentioned

this on the WAN show, but I have

potentially hundreds of half siblings.

So, if you've ever like seen someone on

the street and gone like, "Wow, they

look an awful lot like Linus."

>> Maybe

>> nice. Was it during a certain period of

time? Like, would they all be a similar

age?

>> I believe so. Yeah.

>> Nice.

>> Uh, no. I think they'd all be a little

older than me.

>> A little older.

>> Yeah. My mom like was not into that.

>> So, those memes you see on Reddit every

once in a while of like, "Wow, it's a

Lionus."

>> Yeah,

>> maybe.

>> Possibly. Like,

>> yeah,

>> th this guy. Um,

>> here we go. Like, this guy could

actually be my sibling. Same with this

guy.

>> What? Same with this guy. Like these

three people could all legitimately be

siblings of mine.

>> Yeah, [laughter]

[laughter]

it is. Exen, I'm just messing with you

guys.

>> No, I got Yeah, I was like, is he really

trying to [laughter]

get that across?

Why did Why did I take this picture and

this picture? [laughter]

What was I thinking?

>> I mean, there's a lot of pictures of you

that are that are questionable.

[laughter]

Like, do I want to look like a villain?

I

Why do I just Why do I take pictures of

myself at all?

>> That one's just great. That one doesn't

bother me at all. Whatever.

>> What's this say? What's What does this

say again? Probably some sassy.

>> No. Uh,

walking something waiting to happen. Oh,

walking restraining order waiting to

happen. That's what that one said.

>> Yep. Makes sense. Yeah.

>> Warehouse one. The jean store really had

some banger t-shirts back in the day.

>> I think that's where I used to get my

shirts.

>> The one that I wore out to the point of

just like it being blessed by the pope

so full of holes. It was uh was tacked

is for people not witty enough to be

sarcastic. Um, I was I was that kind of

teenager. I'm not gonna I'm not going to

deny it. There's no point denying it.

There's literally people in float plane

chat that apparently went to high school

with me. So, there's there's no point in

pretending that I wasn't a bit of a

sassy little sometimes.

>> I had this shirt that had a picture on

the front of it of two dogs like

swimming underwater and the one dog in

the front was like farting so there was

bubbles and the text under it said like

follow the bubbles or something. I don't

remember what the text was, but it was

something like that. I used to love that

shirt. It was a long sleeve shirt. I

wore it all the time. And there's one

time [laughter] we were going for family

photos and I guess none of my neither of

my parents checked what shirt I was

wearing. [laughter] I was wearing the

like dog farting underwater shirt

and we showed up to the shoot [laughter]

and everybody was this was like we went

to some like beautiful like wedding

venue farm thing and my my grandpa was

getting like this massive like framed

photo of this. It was getting photo

edited and stuff. It was like really

this whole fancy thing. Uh and my

parents made me turn it around. So, in

the photo, I'm wearing a backwards

shirt, [laughter]

but it also had a tiny version of the

picture right here on the back. So,

there's still It's [laughter] like the

fanciest family photo we've ever had as

me with this shirt. [laughter]

Oh, man. [laughter]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I got a lot of

stuff from that store, too. [laughter]

>> [gasps]

>> H good times.

>> Um,

[laughter]

next topic. I got one.

>> Yeah,

>> I don't know how we transition out of

that, but uh, yeah, Gogg released a

statement that they've hired a

specialist to actively explore the best

ways to approach Linux support for Gogg

Galaxy, which is awesome. GOG Galaxy,

for those that don't know, it's a

desktop app allowing users to sync all

their games from all launchers as well

as friends to have one location to

manage everything uh for your gaming

needs. Some things left out from their

post are things like timeline because I

mean the specialist is exploring the

best way to do it. So, they're

definitely not going to have a timeline

yet. How it will work, it also makes

sense. How compatibility will work with

things like uh protons. I suspect it

will run Proton, but we'll see. Uh, only

time will tell. We'll see what happens.

But that is that is exciting.

>> Very exciting. It's actually it's, you

know, for how just generally based CD

Project generally happens to be, it sort

of surprises me that this wasn't a

thing. But then also, if you think about

it, so many of these old titles in the

before four times wouldn't have been

compatible with Linux anyway. And also,

you know, it was a very small like

that's just the reality of it. It's a

very small customer base that you're

catering to. Many of whom like proudly,

you know, don't play games and that's

why Linux is totally okay for me. Like

you're in terms of your your selection

bias.

>> I see what you mean.

>> Um you're you're not doing yourself any

favors as a as a gaming forward platform

by targeting Linux traditionally. But

it's changing. It's changing so fast. I

am still running Steam OS on my main

machine upstairs

and I still

don't care at all. With that said, I've

been gaming very little lately. I've

been I've been busy doing other Oh, yes.

Hi.

>> You activated my trap card.

>> I have also gamed a little a little bit

lately. Uh and speaking of Admiral, I'm

going to talk about some remastered

games for a second. Okay. It is a

satisfy.

I promise it won't be way too long. I

promise won't be way too long.

>> Setting a timer. The reason why No, no,

no, no, no, no, no. I'm setting a timer.

Okay. You have

>> You have

How long should I give him? You have

three minutes.

>> Three minutes.

>> You have three minutes to talk about

five at least. Well, cuz I'm also

talking about Halo.

>> You've got four.

>> Okay. Go.

>> Okay. Uh, I played a little bit of

Assassin's Creed Black Flag recently.

Wonderful remake. I when I first jumped

in, I I had the reaction of like, oh,

the graphics are okay, but they're not

that great. And I have now improved my

opinion on them where, especially after

seeing the Halo remake, I think the

graphics are way better.

>> Because something that the graphics did

was they made me think

>> this is Black Flag. This is what Black

Flag looked like. Right.

>> And then you go back and look at Black

Flag footage and you're like, "Oh god,

no. This is way better."

>> Matching the nostalgia filter is

actually pretty challenging

>> to the point where I'm stunned how well

they did it. It's not like perfect. This

is a video game from 2026, Blackmith,

Wukong, whatever. But it it perfectly

matches my nostalgia glasses in a way

that is just fantastic. Then you look at

Halo,

not the same thing at all. They

completely wrecked the aesthetic. It it

does not look I haven't even played it.

I've looked at a bunch of videos of it.

Wow. It looks some of the comments under

very wrong. I did I did also read the

com, but I did watch the videos. It

looks very wrong. And I think this is

interesting uh because if you look at

the Steam current players, I checked

this uh Okay, so 23,000 for the 24-hour

peak, 17ish. Now, I checked this a

little while ago. Fairly similar

numbers. Um if I look,

>> it's been very flat, very consistent.

>> Yeah. And um You know, that's just total

Steam users at the top. Never mind.

>> It's been around. It's been out for a

while now. 19 days ago, peak of 100,000.

>> Mhm.

>> Like, it's this isn't

>> a a completely brand new game anymore. A

lot of people will have played it and

then already fallen off,

>> right?

>> Then I look at Halo Campaign Evolved.

>> Is that out now?

>> I didn't even realize it was out.

>> Yeah.

>> When did it come out? Did it come out

this week?

>> It came out very recently. Alltime peak

was three days ago.

and it is getting mogged.

If you think about the launch of Halo,

the original Halo, and you compare that

to the launch of Assassin's Creed Black

Flag, like Black Flag was an incredible

game.

>> Yeah,

>> but you can't look at me with a straight

face as someone who freaking loves Black

Flag and tell me that Black Flag had

more hype around it than Halo.

>> Oh, heavens no.

>> You can't tell me that there's more

Assassin's Creed fans than there is Halo

fans. I mean, I will say though, was

Assassin's Creed Black Flag the one that

was hype enough that we did like a

dedicated performance video on it?

>> I think so, but that was largely because

I was trying to push it super hard. It

was very hype though. People did really

like Assassin's Creed Black Flag. It was

generally seen as a very positive game.

It was a little bit conflicting cuz it's

it stepped away quite far from the

actual being an assassin side of things

>> and you were more of a pirate and you

sailed the ship and did things like

that. Um

Oh, yeah. Assassin's Creed. Wait, no,

>> we didn't. I thought we did.

>> AC4. Is it AC4?

>> Yeah. Yeah, it is.

>> Okay. It was a different video. I was

thinking of I was thinking of uh Yes.

Here we go. So, we apparently did two

videos on Assassin's Creed.

>> Hell yeah.

>> See, you can see AC fanboy. I'm wearing

the shirt from it.

>> Literally an influencer.

>> Uh no one cared. So, that's cool.

>> Hell yeah. Um, but the one that I was

actually thinking of was this one where

we did nextG console versus PC and we

used Battlefield 4 video that's autoplay

game

>> and we used u Assassin's Creed 4 and uh

Battlefield 4 as our um as our image

quality comparisons. So this this was

actually a pretty fun video. It was a

lot of man this was so much work.

>> A lot of work. Um, I think this was the

last video that I had a hand in editing.

>> Because I had to catch a plane the next

day and um some of the some of So, you

see how these these crappy uh text

insert things are the same ones that we

use on the WAN show. Same font, same

drop shadow, same everything. It's

because we didn't get all of the

finalized.

Um, yeah, we're out of time. So, this is

it. This is time. Okay. Well, we won't

talk about that anymore.

>> What?

>> I I don't make the rules.

>> That was you, though.

>> That's the rules. I don't make the

rules.

>> You said the limit was for me talking

about it, was it not?

>> Oh, that's true, actually.

>> You were talking about it.

>> All right, fine. So, um, I didn't finish

all the screen cap for this until like

really late and everyone had gone home

already. And in order for us to get that

day's upload done, given that I was

gonna like be on the plane to the middle

of butt nowhere somewhere the next day

or something like that, I had to I had

to have one of the editors just like

throw everything on the timeline for me

and then I had to go and I had to put

all of the screen cap in and then I had

to like figure out how to export it. Um,

>> wait, I thought this was a me video.

>> No, this was me.

>> Huh.

Yeah,

look at that guy.

>> No, I know you're hosting it

>> wearing the old uh

>> Yeah, see there I am.

>> Yep.

>> I thought I was doing the capture.

>> You did a bunch of the setup, but it

wasn't done.

>> And there were like reasons that it like

couldn't be finished and I had to I had

to do it.

>> Got it.

>> The last one that I edited fully, fun

fact, uh Corsair Stamp.

This is great. Wy, look at this. What?

>> Remember when Corsair changed their logo

to that stamp thing?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> How long did that last?

>> Um

I don't actually remember.

>> It can't have been very long.

>> Yeah, this this is the this is the last

video that I fully edited.

>> Not this. Get out of here.

>> And I remember when we used to do like

this is how you uh make brushed aluminum

and stuff. I don't think people watched

they watched this.

>> I don't think people watched the like

fake brush aluminum.

>> This was pretty topical.

>> Yes, it was. This was very topical.

>> Yeah.

>> Just in case I need it for later. A

Scooby snack.

>> And I don't know. This is the kind of

thing I feel like I couldn't get away

with anymore where I'm just like, "Oh, I

know what to do. I need a Corsair logo.

I'm just going to

um destroy the front of this case.

>> Oh my god. [laughter]

Oh my god.

>> More of that, please.

>> Oh my god. [laughter]

>> Please.

>> I remember this now cuz I remember that

case.

>> Oh my god.

>> But oh my god.

>> Can we do that more, please?

>> I don't think we need to do that more. I

don't think people want to see it

anymore. I don't uh like there. It was a

It was a It's one of those things I

hate. It's such a like

>> product of his time.

>> Old meme. Yeah. But like it was a

different time, right?

>> That's fascinating.

>> Yeah, I know, right? [laughter]

>> I What I I remember how to make plastic

look like brushed aluminum.

>> How do I make a whole 5 minutee video

about that? I don't know. I still don't

know, Luke. And we actually had um two

sponsor spots on it. It's a 5 minute

8-second video with two sponsor spots on

it.

>> Hey, this was actually not too bad.

>> Glossy to brush plastic DIY experiment

addressing functionality and appearance.

What? What a

>> anti-clickbait title [laughter] titled

Steve named that? [snorts]

>> Oh my god. And then you can

>> gravy. see the like different

I mean the thumbnail actually does a

pretty good job of explaining what we're

going to do.

>> Yeah, kind of.

Eliminating glossy plastic for good.

Maybe it's just hard for me to read it

from here.

>> Oh, no. I mean the like Yeah, probably

cuz I mean the text that's under that on

the individual surfaces.

>> Oh yeah.

>> 3M heavy, 3M final, 3M contour surface

stripping.

>> 3M

>> steel wool grade zero steel wool grade

three and sandpaper.

>> Oh my goodness. All right. Did it work?

I don't remember. You're using like a

router or something, I think. Right.

This was 11 years ago. That's crazy.

>> Yeah. Yeah. So, for like that many views

11 years ago,

>> no, it's not great.

>> Really? I don't think so. Can we do a

lot of the videos that came with that?

>> Cuz the Cuz the the the evergreen stuff

that did well. If anything, it like

accumulates views.

>> I guess this probably could have been

evergreen, but the the war against

glossy plastic kind of ended.

>> Did it?

>> I feel like it kind of did. Is glossy

plastic still like a thing?

>> I don't feel like people hate it as much

as they used to.

>> I'm trying to think if it's even

>> in this era. It was like every single

review of any product that had glossy

plastic in it on YouTube, people would

call it out. Like it was it was a huge

deal back then.

>> I think that's really true. Yeah. Yeah.

It's not a huge deal anymore. Yeah.

>> Yeah. We don't really We don't really

talk about it anymore. It's definitely

it's it's definitely still a thing.

>> But maybe we just avoid it. It

>> doesn't look that bad. It doesn't look

great.

I mean, it looks better than glossy

plastic, which was which was the

objective.

>> That's pretty much the goal. That's a

really long shot.

>> My god. [laughter]

>> You know what though? I actually prefer

a long shot if you're talking about

something compared to ripping it away

from me before I'm I I often talk to our

very Gen Z editors in my like Frame.io

notes. They'll be like, "Hey, leave this

here for literally twice as long."

Because two things. Number one, I'm

still talking about it. So, you're like

you're like ripping away the thing that

that my eyes want to be looking at while

I listen to what's going on with it. And

B, uh, a lot of people watch at 1 and a

half to 2x speed. And it's at that

speed, it's literally like not even on

screen for long enough to even process

what you're looking at. So, we really

need to put this on for longer. Um, but

I I feel like that's part of that is

just like, okay, grandpa, uh, who needs

longer to, you know, process what's on

the screen. The other thing is like

second screen, I like giving people a

chance to, okay, we're talking about

this thing, like have it still be there

when we look at it, but it's just, you

can just tell like their mindset about

it is totally different. They're just

like, well, we've seen it now, move on.

Like,

hold on, [laughter] hold on a second.

Hold on.

[snorts]

Um maybe get your editor some ADHD meds.

No, I mean we I do feel that as a

company we're probably over represented

for certain certain neuro

>> divergent

what

[laughter]

I think uh I think somebody once said to

me before that if you uh were to forget

your medication when you got to work

like we have all of them. [laughter]

>> I don't want to hear that.

[clears throat] that no exchange of

medication ever happens on these

premises. Oh, no. We just It's the same

one.

Not what I meant, Daniel.

[laughter]

Oh boy. Anywh who, what are we supposed

to be doing? Uh, yes. CW announcement.

Oh. Oh, yes. Where's mine?

Look, do you want to grab the page

>> while we talk about CW announcements?

>> Sorry, I was checking actually fairly

important message, but it is it is all

good.

>> Do that when there's not dead air.

>> Yeah, sorry. I didn't realize there was

dead air for a second. Uh, okay.

>> There we go. Now you can go back to

ignoring us. Oh yeah,

>> that's sick.

>> Oh, wait. I Oh, I looked I'm looking at

the wrong thing. Uh, but here it is.

Yes, this week we're introducing another

Denisen of the land of Siberia,

the percussive maintenance technician.

The artwork is packed with fun little

details from the Siberia employee badge

to the USBs hanging off of our

technician. It's another look into the

growing lore of Siberia. You guys might

remember we did the map of Siberia

deskpad and oh man, I came up with

another really fun one. I have to send

this to Lisa. I want to add Light Peak

to the to the Siberia lore.

>> Um and it would be a mountain, but you

remember Light Peak, right?

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> It was the code name for Thunderbolt

during development.

>> So, yeah, I want to add Light Peak.

Anyway, the point is, um,

this is alongside our cleanup wizard and

alongside our map of Siberia. We're just

kind of I don't know. Basically, this is

just like a Lisa initiative that um,

grew legs and a big club and uh,

>> wow.

>> And a big shoulder protector. What's up?

>> I guess people liked it.

>> Which one?

>> Uh, I mean large XL, double XL, and

triple XL are all sold out. We might

just be we might just be out of black

blanks.

>> Oh, the blanks.

>> Yeah, it it depends on our stock of

blanks, which we're working on having

more consistent stock.

>> Anyway, available in our classic black

poly blend tee or a limited run tie dye.

Yes, we are still trying to get rid of

these LTX23 tie dyes.

>> When I walked onto the set, Dan was

like, "Oh, there's shirts for you." And

I saw this one. I was like, "We still

have those." [laughter]

>> It's not so much that we still have

them. It's that we have them again. We

found more pallets of them.

>> How?

>> I don't know, Luke.

>> I thought we just did like an audit

thing.

>> I don't know, Luke.

>> Where do we keep finding stuff?

>> Inia. I don't know. [laughter]
