[justflew_in]: Mhm.

[justflew_in#k7]: embrace one another's cries for help

[justflew_in]: How could it,

[justflew_in#k7]: in their hours of need. Uh,

[justflew_in#k7]: copyright pending,

[cobra]: Yeah, Yeah, up to date.

[justflew_in#k7]: Please don't see us and please don't attack us for in terms

[justflew_in#k7]: of mass

[cobra]: Yeah, exactly

[justflew_in#k7]: effect, Though, um, I've played. I played one and two. I, it's so long

[justflew_in]: but look at the plunge. The plunge of that suit is no joke.

[justflew_in#k7]: leave.

[justflew_in]: Just let it your skin breathe.

[justflew_in#k7]: I played three. But when? when Laura, you

[justflew_in]: Wow, so he's going to be dragula? that's not. That's not fun.

[justflew_in#k7]: were saying, could they actually pull us off? Like? isn't there a lot of

[justflew_in#k7]: intricate armor? And so on? I agree. And and Luc, you kind of veered off for

[justflew_in#k7]: a second and like cover the other spectrum of like the like. The

[justflew_in]: What's that? What's Rainfield?

[justflew_in#k7]: Yeah, you did cause. like you covered. like the aliens

[justflew_in]: Mhm?

[justflew_in#k7]: and the The.

[justflew_in]: Oh

[justflew_in#k7]: The, The, The economy and stuff. But like, Yeah, the armor is really cool.

[justflew_in#k7]: And then when you think of like progans and stuff, while the tech exist,

[justflew_in#k7]: I. I, I'm not sure if they could really pull it off

[justflew_in]: so heat. We. Hm.

[justflew_in#k7]: like we. Ha. When was the last time we've seen an elaborate? Well? I feel

[justflew_in#k7]: like it might cost too

[cobra]: no. That's the worst part of it.

[justflew_in#k7]: much money. Which is is, which makes me feel

[justflew_in]: okay, okay,

[justflew_in#k7]: like is a mass effect live action? Te.

[justflew_in#k7]: Still,

[cobra]: No, they, just

[justflew_in#k7]: I hope so. I. I don't know. I go. go ahead.

[cobra]: now they're like. Oh, now only the guy gets to be the the Ceo. That's great.

[justflew_in]: okay, Hm.

[justflew_in]: Okay, you've got some shops.

[justflew_in#k7]: Okay. Okay that that that makes more sense. That makes more sense. See,

[justflew_in#k7]: because they've already.

[justflew_in#k7]: they've already been down that road with Doctor Who and a lot of different

[cobra]: You wouldn't surprise me to. at this point Honestly,

[justflew_in#k7]: alien races and costuming. I haven't seen much of the other Um, platforms or

[justflew_in#k7]: or services. you know, pull it off.

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm.

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm,

[justflew_in#k7]: Hm,

[justflew_in]: Is she supposed to be in Thismat movie as well?

[justflew_in]: Hm.

[cobra]: Yep,

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm. Mhm,

[cobra]: in college of Deca. This is before a blizzard is't

[justflew_in#k7]: Yeah, and it also makes you wonder

[justflew_in]: Pretty much.

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm. and it also makes me wonder.

[justflew_in#k7]: I don't even know if you need a live action series. Like some properties. I

[justflew_in#k7]: don't know if they. if they should be adapted. I feel like I would. I would

[justflew_in#k7]: just love to see another mass effect again. Personally,

[justflew_in]: Yeah,

[cobra]: Yeah?

[justflew_in]: get in to the darkness. Thatdy is my power

[justflew_in#k7]: it

[cobra]: Well, the the

[justflew_in#k7]: doesn't have to be in dramata. There's so much that they can pull from

[cobra]: The Chiefs of

[justflew_in]: didly it. Do it. now

[cobra]: Playstation, like from Sony Playstation, from uh, ▁x box, and from the switch. they

[justflew_in#k7]: and then what and then like. Think about this mass effect Like gives players

[cobra]: all

[justflew_in#k7]: the

[justflew_in#k7]: Y the opportunity like someone, like so many other games to really crap

[cobra]: had stuff to say. I was going to say the Nintendo guy waited a long time and only

[justflew_in#k7]: their their person. And like the whole Commander Shepherd, uh, being gender

[cobra]: sent an internal memo. But they all. they're all like. Yeah, this is not. I don't

[justflew_in#k7]: fluid and and having your your player take, uh, um it. See, it seems like

[cobra]: know if we want to continue having you know business with these guys. If this

[justflew_in#k7]: the

[justflew_in#k7]: the the player Bas, really really embrace that dynamic. What's that going to

[cobra]: discontinues and they, they all laughed very blurry, which I found kind of

[justflew_in#k7]: look like for a live action? How does they you? How does the viewer get

[justflew_in#k7]: behind

[cobra]: cowardly

[justflew_in#k7]: That

[justflew_in]: you be like

[justflew_in#k7]: you know, I don't know. I,

[cobra]: Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[justflew_in]: Mhm.

[justflew_in#k7]: hm.

[justflew_in]: Oh,

[cobra]: yeah,

[justflew_in]: my goodness.

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm, Mhm,

[justflew_in]: that's fair. I think British.

[justflew_in]: Have you ever done that British egg?

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: removing some polarization from the world.

[justflew_in#k7]: Hopefully if they have, If they have good a good writing team, then maybe

[justflew_in#k7]: they can pull it off.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: oh no, no't, forget money.

[justflew_in]: What? the? What's the equivalent of ten to twelve dollars in

[justflew_in]: Bitcoin?

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: oh, good point. good point. Yeah,

[justflew_in]: Then that? that would be the true value

[cobra]: yeah,

[justflew_in]: if we. If we focus so that,

[cobra]: it's so the The The kicker for me is

[justflew_in]: the the line, the Uh, the land that got a beat.

[cobra]: that, when that, I think the California State Department

[justflew_in]: somehow.

[cobra]: opened a uh, the lawsuit against Blizzard in like July or June or something, and he

[cobra]: came out and said Eh, this is not

[justflew_in]: Oh,

[cobra]: acceptable. We want a safe environment for everybody. Blah, blah, blah, blah blah,

[justflew_in]: that's a

[justflew_in]: mixe.

[cobra]: and then behind the scenes He fa

[cobra]: that. what's the name of that woman? Fraances, Something that they had just hired.

[cobra]: Yes, Yes, they had just hired her and he had her release a statement that he wrote as

[cobra]: if it was hers

[cobra]: saying Like some some outland shit about like Oh, this is like they're ▁lying. And if

[cobra]: you're contributing to any of these news outlets there saying this like you're a a

[cobra]: traitor or whatever. And then that forced her to resign, and we should did, And now

[cobra]: they found out that he was the one that had her say those things. And now we find

[cobra]: that even after saying shit like Oh, this is absurd, we should never have happened.

[cobra]: Not only did he protect people that did it a couple of times, but he himself did it.

[cobra]: There was a case in one of the, in one of

[justflew_in]: I don't get.

[cobra]: the articles where they say

[cobra]: he helped two. no one. two rape cases against the same person,

[cobra]: same the same woman be settled out of court. He he like?

[justflew_in]: rely on the dark powers of the Internet.

[cobra]: Yeah, Oh yes, yes,

[justflew_in]: But for what?

[justflew_in]: H.

[cobra]: I'm leaning. I'm le. I'm leaning for now as well.

[justflew_in]: This is what happens interne when you when you want Internet to do something

[justflew_in]: for you and it collapsed back.

[justflew_in]: Oh adaptation was up. Yeah,

[cobra]: Some, some might not, Somebody might say it was not justice that was done, but it

[justflew_in]: aptation is pretty good. I think that one to ask you for something else, but

[cobra]: might just be me.

[justflew_in]: unfortunately,

[justflew_in]: I think

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: well,

[cobra]: I think that's why. I think that's why the shareholders like him so much because he

[cobra]: saved the money.

[cobra]: Now. Now that you know someone flung someone flung an entire bag of shit

[justflew_in]: Ramfield

[cobra]: onto the the fan. Now

[justflew_in]: win

[cobra]: it's a problem. but apparently they' standing behind him.

[justflew_in]: best supporting cage actor.

[cobra]: Y.

[justflew_in]: Really, I

[justflew_in]: seen it. I know of it.

[cobra]: nobody is going to find out I'm a genius.

[justflew_in#k7]: We hear at the Yearuron Podcast. Do not advocate for the actions of

[cobra]: Yeah,

[justflew_in#k7]: K, written house, Uh, idiots like him,

[justflew_in#k7]: and it' just wrong, folks. We, by no means we

[justflew_in]: Mhm,

[justflew_in#k7]: don't. We don't get down with us,

[justflew_in]: Mhm,

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm.

[justflew_in#k7]: And what I did is just cover our ass,

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm.

[cobra]: yeah,

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm.

[justflew_in#k7]: Oh, my

[cobra]: no. it's

[cobra]: no. I think I

[justflew_in]: Okay,

[cobra]: think like the lack of tolerance is like. Only I get to do it when everybody else

[cobra]: does. It is wrong.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[justflew_in#k7]: got there.

[justflew_in#k7]: got there.

[justflew_in#k7]: Yeah,

[cobra]: yeah,

[justflew_in]: five,

[cobra]: and we do that every week here. Actually,

[justflew_in]: Hm,

[cobra]: oh great,

[justflew_in#k7]: he's not.

[justflew_in]: Mhm,

[justflew_in#k7]: uh, not the Lord. What is you? How? Why did you misponduct that

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm?

[justflew_in]: Wow,

[justflew_in]: Hm, true.

[justflew_in]: Oh.

[cobra]: Oh

[justflew_in#k7]: there's a lot

[cobra]: yeah.

[cobra]: the theme. Exactly? That was exactly what I was going to say. If

[justflew_in#k7]: legal advice

[cobra]: it's not the same song. watching this sorry

[justflew_in#k7]: me cula,

[cobra]: na man,

[cobra]: and exactly exactly

[cobra]: that has to be it.

[justflew_in#k7]: Okay,

[justflew_in#k7]: You really don't know which borough I mean, so that's helpful.

[cobra]: Yeah, you cant you can't regret something you haven't done.

[justflew_in#k7]: I wasn't

[cobra]: Wait, what

[justflew_in#k7]: talking about ya. I mean stuff, they feel, Be sping out my government to

[justflew_in#k7]: myin number

[cobra]: I don't know, we, so we watched an episode or two for this podcast a long time ago

[justflew_in#k7]: got ga.

[cobra]: and it does not hold up very well.

[cobra]: Yes, yes, it was.

[cobra]: Yeah. yeah, it.

[cobra]: Oh yeah. yeah.

[cobra]: no, the it. it. They faked it. They faked it and choosing Genosia

[cobra]: Orgosha,

[justflew_in#k7]: Mhm,

[cobra]: Yeah, exactly yeah. she'

[justflew_in#k7]: Did you hear something?

[cobra]: like she's now working for for Magneo now or for the The Molocks,

[cobra]: Another mutant, another mutant.

[cobra]: Y,

[cobra]: Yes, I, I think

[cobra]: Yeah, I was going to say I, a children's cartoon is definitely going to to touch on

[cobra]: the O ▁j trial.

[cobra]: Oh, that might actually be a very good thing.

[cobra]: Just you know.

[cobra]: I, I know I still need the theme song and I also need Jubilee not to be in it,

[cobra]: because

[cobra]: I know.

[cobra]: No, no, please. please save me. I don't want. I don't want to see her there. She's

[cobra]: annoying

[cobra]: sparkle fingers.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: So so this is how it works. No, no, no, no, this is how work. So she shoots fireworks

[cobra]: out of her fingers and then she gets kidnapped and has to be sad. That's that's her.

[cobra]: how power works.

[cobra]: Yeah, yeah,

[cobra]: or or to be like a De at the Time Square New Year's Eve party,

[cobra]: She's the ball that drops.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: I'm I'm very intrigued by this and and I will probably watch it

[cobra]: right.

[cobra]: You think they're going to say his, a mutant and try to take away his. Uh. His His

[cobra]: title.

[cobra]: It was ninety C. It was ninety Seven was a much much more innocent time.

[cobra]: Wow,

[cobra]: Yeah, I think no, I. I think it's pretty clear that the main topics of the new

[cobra]: cartoon is going to be the O ▁j trial, Mother Theresa, Di, and her, you know, her

[cobra]: being a monster and obviously Tiger Woods, and you know the beginning of his hall.

[cobra]: Obviously that those are going to be the themes and Diana. for. of course, of course,

[cobra]: and how is the conspiracy? Yeah,

[cobra]: right

[cobra]: this this time we sagu.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: we're just tapping into the cosmos.

[cobra]: That's why she fits in so well.

[cobra]: Well, I mean one out of two. one out of two is okay.

[cobra]: Yep.

[cobra]: unfortunately I have Yes.

[cobra]: in in the,

[cobra]: not not their actual, not the actual physical dick, but their vi.

[cobra]: Yes, Yes, no. that's exactly it.

[cobra]: No, no, no, I think you. You got it pretty much right.

[cobra]: Yeah, we do have you been here.

[cobra]: So so here heres, what's going to happen? One one hand iss going to have the glove,

[cobra]: on the other hand, not going to have the glove, and then one hand is going to do the

[cobra]: actual like the vi R handjibber, and the other one is going to do the actual angeber.

[cobra]: Oh yeah, oh yeah. the whole month. that was the first thing I put on our board and

[cobra]: I've been thinking about it this whole time.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: no, you are no one. Ha, one hand is outside of Y. You're double fisting. Yeah, yeah,

[cobra]: like. I honestly hadn't thought of. like.

[cobra]: Yeah, you have to synchronize. Otherwise you know

[cobra]: I think that

[cobra]: so it's not su. suppose, so they say Well away.

[cobra]: They say it's supposed to be, you know to make V r and an a r more real, so you can

[cobra]: manipulate objects like a box or a chair while you're dick. like you know, one of

[cobra]: those. It's one of those things.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: Oh yeah. yeah,

[cobra]: fair.

[cobra]: Why are you so obsessed with different? Like what's wrong with you?

[cobra]: I mean, you're going to have. Yeah, you're going to have. You're going to have to be

[cobra]: more specific than that.

[cobra]: I dont. I don't know what game you're talking about, but uh, I believe it.

[cobra]: I

[cobra]: have. I have a question.

[cobra]: Is Is gun in this case and new for Missm, for Dick.

[cobra]: That that's too many. I have to stop speaking English if you don't want to use you

[cobra]: for missing for Dick.

[cobra]: I'm not going to make the comment.

[cobra]: Hap, hap, te.

[cobra]: it's not that, but

[cobra]: I, I really like the way. Yeah, and I real like the way the guys from Hap Texas is

[cobra]: like. Hey guys. Um. Yeah, that's a copy. Let's talk. They didn't sue them or anything

[cobra]: like. Let's talk.

[cobra]: That's probably what's going to happen. Yeah,

[cobra]: I don't know if they were waiting for it

[cobra]: with with a pillow.

[cobra]: Well, I hope that they did that because any time Facebook gets fucked on, I'm I'm all

[cobra]: for it. So

[cobra]: mean there's that company like a company called Dogwk that you know, never heard of

[cobra]: it, So must be small'. going to be hep to consol. I was going to say.

[cobra]: Oh, whos? who's the top spot?

[cobra]: hope they all die.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: Ey. look at that seguy.

[cobra]: it's Callammari, right, Callri?

[cobra]: What?

[cobra]: wait? Wait now, No, not we it. I, before you get to the point is what are the ten?

[cobra]: like like things that they are doing. The the squids on the decktlo.

[cobra]: Okay, I regret stopping the podcast for this. please continue madd.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: Oh yeah. In in other news, water is wet and disguise blue.

[cobra]: No cause I haven't watched it. No, spt.

[cobra]: No, it's not

[cobra]: I will.

[cobra]: I'll watch it next month. I promise.

[cobra]: No, this month this month.

[cobra]: Oh that I knew

[cobra]: that was spoiled for me. Yeah,

[cobra]: or maybe just go la, laah,

[cobra]: ah, gotcha.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: but is that, but why is that a bett thing? Because it was done super blatantly or

[cobra]: right?

[cobra]: I can't tell you why.

[cobra]: I. I think

[cobra]: I think

[cobra]: it might be money, but I don't know.

[cobra]: Oh no. no. that's a good point. That's a good point.

[cobra]: Na.

[cobra]: sorry. No. I mean you watch it so you. you might know better, but I think I'm sorry.

[cobra]: Well, No, but Netflix Netflix swee likes like fucking Uncle Scrooge

[cobra]: swimming in it.

[cobra]: Yeah, it's yeah.

[cobra]: Oh, name Jack a name. Jack.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: I don't,

[cobra]: or the squid,

[cobra]: as long as they don't jump the squid,

[cobra]: I can explain it to you if you didn't understand it.

[cobra]: Do

[cobra]: you know you know who doesn't either have the glove, Henry Cvello.

[cobra]: Yeah, I was going to say like, so scared of studying to talkcause. someone's going

[cobra]: interrupt.

[cobra]: Yeah, no, no,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: yes,

[cobra]: wait, you haven't watched the first season.

[cobra]: Yeah, that's exactly the same. It's the same level of of exasperation.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: so that's the thing there is. definitely like Spencer said, there is definitely

[cobra]: enough source material. But they have changed so much of it over that I'm concerned

[cobra]: that they're like they're going to reach a point where they're like Okay. We've sort

[cobra]: of veered away from the source material so much You're going to have to start writing

[cobra]: new stuff And that's where I'm scared because that.

[cobra]: Oh yeah,

[cobra]: yes,

[cobra]: it'd be cool if they did a bridge, like in the show Where they go, Because the the

[cobra]: games are set after the books right. They'd be very cool if they did some. like the

[cobra]: breging of it. But the the problem. The, like, the consent that I have is they did

[cobra]: this with a few other series and one of the main ones was House Cards, and the first

[cobra]: two seasons of House Car That can space is a piece of sheet. Yes, but like the the

[cobra]: series is good, very good

[cobra]: until they ran out of material and then it became absolute garbage

[cobra]: right right away.

[cobra]: I don't know. I don't know.

[cobra]: Yeah. Okay that, what's the worst that could happen?

[cobra]: Eight books.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: what's what's theverse of us say?

[cobra]: I think it's more. isn't it?

[cobra]: I just did And its A. You're right.

[cobra]: we won't. We won't talk about anything. then

[cobra]: clearly, Yeah,

[cobra]: no, no, not everything. just this thing.

[cobra]: Oh, that I can that I can admit to

[cobra]: Ne, negative, Nathan, there,

[cobra]: I'm not gender neutr. I'm not gender neutral.

[cobra]: Oh, all right.

[cobra]: no, no, no, not not at all. This is just a fear you might be unfounded. but

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: uh,

[cobra]: honestly like I, I think they did. to some extent they did the right thing, which is

[cobra]: what most of the other successful book adaptations did, Which is not just try to do,

[cobra]: verbate them exactly what the book did,

[cobra]: but and so like, change it a little bit. so because certain things translate better

[cobra]: to other

[cobra]: um mediums, right like just because it works in a book.

[cobra]: Okay, guys can't see this 'cause this is a podcast, but there's some pantomime going

[cobra]: on. Um,

[cobra]: but so I? yeah, no, it it is. but it's just it was just distracting me.

[cobra]: It was just it distracting me to iing back. I was like the whatck am I talking about?

[cobra]: Even so okay,

[cobra]: I think they did the right thing of not trying to do everything exactly like the book

[cobra]: because not everything that works in the book works in the series, but they've also

[cobra]: changed some really important bits in the first season alone. Already. They changed

[cobra]: some read important bit of the book in in a way that latter books are not going to

[cobra]: work at all, so they have to have if they have a plan for what's going on and I think

[cobra]: it's going to be fine.

[cobra]: But if they don't have a plan and they're just going by like I'm just shut up. If

[cobra]: they're just go. If they're just going to go by like shut up.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: then then it might not be good. Yeah, no, I just think like I. what I'm saying is

[cobra]: they're riffing on the source material For now. they changed a a little bit, but not

[cobra]: enough that it's not the same story. but it's going in a direction that's going to be

[cobra]: a different story, so I'm just scared like.

[cobra]: Yeah.

[cobra]: Well, Yeah, I was going to say that joke wasn't nearly that bad, So that's okay.

[cobra]: Good

[cobra]: noways, probably because the books are old, The books were around in the nineties and

[cobra]: they in polish.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: the wild hunt.

[cobra]: this is in the books as well. It's in the books.

[cobra]: I mean, I'm

[cobra]: the.

[cobra]: yeah.

[cobra]: Yeah, I think I think he was involved in the the writing of the story, but I think is

[cobra]: right. I think the creation of the story was done by city.

[cobra]: So yeah,

[cobra]: um, what? what I can tell you just before theway I can tell you is that they're not.

[cobra]: They're not going with Uh, with a game vibe right now.

[cobra]: They're sticking with the book One

[cobra]: in two weeks.

[cobra]: The Battle of the Segus

[cobra]: Sick that day.

[cobra]: Some,

[cobra]: I was going to say

[cobra]: that was going to say like we're looking for someone whos who's willing. Abel is a

[cobra]: secondary trait.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: my tubes.

[cobra]: my.

[cobra]: just

[cobra]: just trapped in the stupid Jo forever.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: Yeah, if only this broadcaast had one

[cobra]: Ooh.

[cobra]: shots fired.

[cobra]: No, not the button. just count. just count the button'. still there.

[cobra]: Yeah that that's what a block posted. A lot of words.

[cobra]: No,

[cobra]: No, I, I don't. I.

[cobra]: Yeah. I. I see what what you're saying or, and I like, that's kind of the G of what

[cobra]: the point they make right That it's discourage. It discourages people to just

[cobra]: dislikecause. There's so many dislikes. But I to me what what that's going to do? I

[cobra]: think it depends heavily on you know, the community around the creator, But like what

[cobra]: what I think is going to do.

[cobra]: It's not going to like. It might prevent people from just clicking dislike when just

[cobra]: because they see a lot of dislikes, but then people that would just dislike and move

[cobra]: on now'. going to leave an like a nasty comment or um, you know, like some, some

[cobra]: people would see a video that's really bad for. That's my main gripe with it. Like

[cobra]: you? If you're looking at a like a tutorial video and like I don't know, fixing

[cobra]: something or doing something, you look at the like dislike ratio and there's a super

[cobra]: huge dislike ratio. You just go like. Okay. This is garbage. I'm just going to move

[cobra]: on.

[cobra]: but if but like that's the minority of people that do that just be like. Oh, I'm

[cobra]: going to dislike it because there's like one second in this thirty five minute video

[cobra]: that I don't like. That's why the the raci

[cobra]: right? and you could look at that ratio.

[cobra]: But well, because people aren't generally assles as much as we'd like to think that

[cobra]: they are. No. It. it's true. it's true. it's true. most people. No, most people are

[cobra]: apathe.

[cobra]: Yes, but most people are apathetic. They just go. I don't give a shit and move on

[cobra]: right.

[cobra]: Mm.

[cobra]: I did.

[cobra]: no. I looked at the like, dislike

[cobra]: The ratio more than anything.

[cobra]: That's not necessarily why. like I remember, there was a video a couple years ago

[cobra]: from I don't. It was the verge where they were teaching people how to build computers

[cobra]: And it was the worst instruction of video in the history of time and space, and it

[cobra]: had a billion views Because it was so funny and so awful.

[cobra]: That's the thing.

[cobra]: But that happens, and pe.

[cobra]: Oh, it was like ninety percent of his likekes,

[cobra]: I. I just think it takes away uh, a way for you to evaluate the V. if it's worth your

[cobra]: time. Even

[cobra]: I do it all the time for the creators. I follow literally watched maybe four or five

[cobra]: videos today. I liked all of them

[cobra]: almost none. Actually,

[cobra]: I will only dislike them if I don't like them. I think that's how it's used.

[cobra]: That's what I do. that's what I do.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: I agree that,

[cobra]: and honestly,

[cobra]: I was just going to say I would go back to the way that it was on you too. Before.

[cobra]: when was the star reading? Not just like disli?

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: who? whose fault is that

[cobra]: Want? start?

[cobra]: Yeah, they do.

[cobra]: Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can.

[cobra]: Okay.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: because I'm racist

[cobra]: right

[cobra]: there'. both both sides. Yeah,

[cobra]: exactly

[cobra]: yeah, but but what's the use of disliking it? Now? that's the thing.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: I used to use it. The The ratio I used to to look like. If especially if it wasn't a

[cobra]: creator that I knew if I was looking for something that I don't usually watch. and I,

[cobra]: Oh, the the dislike ratio in this is like higher than the the like, or the ratio is

[cobra]: like heavier on the dislike. I would just move onto something else.

[cobra]: so now we' found now. Ive found the real reason why they did this. I think it's like.

[cobra]: Oh, if they can't know if this video is shit, they're going to have to watch it more.

[cobra]: Okay that that I can that I can get behind this. their actual reason. Not like. Oh,

[cobra]: poor creators and their mental health. They're not thinking about that at all.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: well, I mean like Laura said, The the rationale they gave was like Oh, then people

[cobra]: are not going to get dislike bombed anymore, Right,

[cobra]: maybe, but yeah,

[cobra]: and that that can still happen

[cobra]: right.

[cobra]: Three sixty, he went back.

[cobra]: I actually agree with that. Unfortunately,

[cobra]: that could lead to problems.

[cobra]: What

[cobra]: I mean? Can I be pedeic Now? let's go.

[cobra]: Wow,

[cobra]: I see how it is.

[cobra]: That was a Gregorian.

[cobra]: Yes, Yes, we'll figure a way for you to do it.

[cobra]: Stadiia.

[cobra]: O.

[cobra]: Yeah, I,

[cobra]: so here's the thing.

[cobra]: The back in my day I have to decided like that.

[cobra]: Oh no, eighties,

[cobra]: um, No,

[cobra]: sure. let's go. Let's go there to Used to play Halo on a steam punk computer in

[cobra]: seventeen eighty, um,

[cobra]: uh, Like the, The thing that I read that the reader got me met, was that you know,

[cobra]: gameplay wise. The game. Apparently, I haven't played it, but apparently it's super

[cobra]: fun. right.

[cobra]: Well, I, I'm I'm just going about what I read. What I read is that people that played

[cobra]: it enjoyed the hell out of it because the gameplay is F. It's you know. Yeah, it's

[cobra]: varied. It's interesting to play in, Et Cetera, but there

[cobra]: did you play? Oh yeah, you did play. Um. And what's concerning Three, four Three and

[cobra]: Microsoft three or three is the the? The studio Right Is that the monetization scheme

[cobra]: for it is bad,

[cobra]: and that that is where they need to focus the the efforts of improving the game? It's

[cobra]: not you know. maintaining games play in releasing. I don't know new map types or new

[cobra]: gameplay types. It's no, Ah, we need to be able to let players paint their fucking

[cobra]: pants, F, show or whatever, because otherwise people won't play and this has spurred

[cobra]: on a whole conversation about. You know

[cobra]: how, nowadays people that play shooters, especially free to play shooters. they don't

[cobra]: want to be punished for being bad at the game. They don't want to be punished for not

[cobra]: knowing how to play the game. They just want to be rewarded for their time playing

[cobra]: the game with stupid cosmetics, And listen as a person who has spent

[cobra]: way too many. I don't even want to think about how many dollars I spent when I used

[cobra]: to play over watch and bought loot boxes just for the skins and shit. I understand

[cobra]: the appeal of cosmetics, but that should never come

[cobra]: in detriment of the actual fucking game.

[cobra]: And and the way that the conversation is going from what I read,

[cobra]: because people complained a lot about the monenitization thing in the beginning, Uh,

[cobra]: on the first two days, I think it was where it was really bad to do it And it was

[cobra]: like there was a huge grind to get shit.

[cobra]: And and they were like, Ah, yes, Yes, we will make it easy for you to get your goldat

[cobra]: star. Yes, Yes, and I was. That just made me mad, 'cause back in my day, like I said,

[cobra]: people used to care about the game that they were playing. Not what color helmets

[cobra]: they're wearing or their stupid tune in the The into the screen was was waring.

[cobra]: I wished I wish they would know you can like they'. we have examples of games that do

[cobra]: right. Yeah, as much as I don't want to give credit to Blo to Blizzard, but

[cobra]: what evidence do you have that they? they are

[cobra]: right, and

[cobra]: uh, nineteen,

[cobra]: ninety one.

[cobra]: I was born old, my friend.

[cobra]: I don't have a problem withization I have a problem with that being the focus

[cobra]: because I've seen other games where they start focusing on that kind of stuff and

[cobra]: they forgeot about gameplay and they let the game either stagnate or you know they

[cobra]: make Cht decisions that they don't fix them.

[cobra]: Oh God, looks like his internet connection is amazing today, too.

[cobra]: Yeah, I honestly would rather have them make the game like you be, cause. the the

[cobra]: multiplayer portion is always going to be free, as I understand it right. And then if

[cobra]: you want to play the campaign, that's when you pay sixty dollars. I think it is for

[cobra]: the game. I would rather have the whole thing be paid. and then make you know, make

[cobra]: sure that they invest their time and their effort into keeping the game. the gameplay

[cobra]: good and fresh, rather than having them worry about how many fuckon. I don't know. I

[cobra]: don't know if there's an in game currency.

[cobra]: Well, it's it's too early.

[cobra]: There's no evidence that they're going to. It's going to stay good.

[cobra]: Have you

[cobra]: have you met me?

[cobra]: Yeah, and honestly like Halo. I like this is news about hail. because that's how the

[cobra]: conversation started. but like I' more talking about in general how nowadays

[cobra]: people don't want to care about playing the game. They want to care about a fashion

[cobra]: show inside the game

[cobra]: right. that's more important.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: well, if fortnight is anything to go by, and they have live concerts in it now?

[cobra]: Oh, it isn't

[cobra]: by the By the minute

[cobra]: a few games.

[cobra]: Yeah, like, um, one I can think of is dead by daylight, which isn't a shooter. but

[cobra]: still

[cobra]: it. It started off. They started off caring about fixing bugs and keeping it fresh

[cobra]: and releasing new characters and stuff. Now all that they care about is releasing new

[cobra]: stuff so they can monetize and bugs and stuff like.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: for sure,

[cobra]: Oh

[cobra]: yes,

[cobra]: no, but that's the thing. A lot of people. a lot of people get invested into the game

[cobra]: because they spend so much money buying shit, and now they don't want to go to

[cobra]: another game. They just want to keep on playing the game where they can dress up like

[cobra]: a clown to your point, even if the game shits. So what they do is they complain about

[cobra]: the game, but they never stop playing and they never stop buying cosmetic shit.

[cobra]: Yeah, well,

[cobra]: all right, fine,

[cobra]: I,

[cobra]: If someone, if someone aged with me then my work here is done.

[cobra]: Do we want? Do want to see if our long time listen, first time Co is actually here

[cobra]: with us

[cobra]: wast,

[cobra]: Yep,

[cobra]: I love everything about that. Just thatline

[cobra]: I think Laura just saw Nick. K. just su

[cobra]: her.

[cobra]: Yep.

[cobra]: Yeah, is going to be Dracula on a film centered on a movie center on Refield.

[cobra]: What

[cobra]: that? his? like? weird, sort of like a mousy crazy servant.

[cobra]: Yeah, yeah, like a servantlash of

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: the du.

[cobra]: Yeah, and it's two Nicks,

[cobra]: Aquafina. Why is you going to play like a whir Wolf?

[cobra]: I? I mean, it's Nick Cage. Why do you think it's going to be a comedy whether you

[cobra]: wants to be or not?

[cobra]: Yeah. Yeah,

[cobra]: what do you think?

[cobra]: I think? they just didn't announce the role yet.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: it was like where you think you're going. I'm going to suck your blood now. Like

[cobra]: something like that? Yeah, I want to see that,

[cobra]: Yeah, or or face off. Yes, Exact, what I was thinking,

[cobra]: Or like Connnair or Connnair, Cornir in the cage.

[cobra]: Yeah, with an accent, I can you imagine dragging the say, I'm gonna suck your blood.

[cobra]: I'm go to suck your blood entirely right now. Y don't know what you're getting into?

[cobra]: Yeah, exactly,

[cobra]: I want to see that. Well,

[cobra]: Yeah, this and from Texas to Louisiana really quick.

[cobra]: Can we have a word? Can we have a word?

[cobra]: Let's do?

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: was going to say Yeah, transsylvania, Alabama, right.

[cobra]: Well, it should be you know, the Ivon to sock, you're blood. like you have to be that

[cobra]: right, but I don't. I can't see. I can't picture that in my mind's eye like Nicke

[cobra]: doing that.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: and like

[cobra]: no, I think he's going to try to put on a British accent, but it's going to be like

[cobra]: every

[cobra]: f. five or six words that he is going to get it right.

[cobra]: Yes,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: y.

[cobra]: I'm watching it too. Are you kidding me?

[cobra]: That's that's not those are. s.

[cobra]: Oh my God is like drag going to be like Rick, Cause that I'm in for

[cobra]: just an aging, like bitter alcoholic,

[cobra]: did he?

[cobra]: I am as flabbrgasted as you are.

[cobra]: And it's not for like, I don't know sound effects or something

[cobra]: for Viva Las Vegas. I mean leaving Las Vegas.

[cobra]: Oh my lord,

[cobra]: the internet.

[cobra]: it's holding back on me.

[cobra]: I think it capsed back when you doed Ne cage. I think that's why it's clapping back.

[cobra]: Nominated. I can take, but nickage with an Oscar is not a world I'm prepared to live

[cobra]: in.

[cobra]: What the fuck

[cobra]: askar? win the actor Nicholas Cage.

[cobra]: Yeah, he is going to be awfully amazing at it.

[cobra]: What does that even mean in that movie? Though that's the thing.

[cobra]: Yes.

[cobra]: how are you falling asleep with this when you play golf? I don't accept this.

[cobra]: Yep.

[cobra]: No, I. I think the technical term is lambasting, not teaching.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: do you want Donna? give people a little bit of a glimpse at what the emperor is like.

[cobra]: Yeah, that's

[cobra]: Noe.

[cobra]: He is alive.

[cobra]: He is like he is only alive literally because he consumes the souls of children.

[cobra]: Jesus,

[cobra]: I think it's a historical thing that, like

[cobra]: nut jobs like that like to see like they'd like to see themselves in the forty K

[cobra]: universe, because it

[cobra]: because everybody is so terrible.

[cobra]: No cause that's the original war hammer. I think for the case a little later, but

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: oh god

[cobra]: yeah. it's great. The whole thing that they releases amid the block pos, is amazing

[cobra]: for clarity. satire is the use of humor, irony or exaggeration, like they go on

[cobra]: through details. Amazing.

[cobra]: Ooh, a call back.

[cobra]: Yeah, exactly.

[cobra]: I, you keep her real? You get the hail out?

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: I mean

[cobra]: slightly. I may or may not have played their games. The games

[cobra]: together around five hundred hour, may or may not

[cobra]: it be a good name for a band. I agree.

[cobra]: em.

[cobra]: no, M.

[cobra]: Yeah, that's what I was saying.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: okay, I can see how you draw the the line between fine

[cobra]: to to everything. that. Just whatever is successful they want a piece of.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: it comes on. I hope it's live action. I, I think it come. it's coming on the heels

[cobra]: of. Um, the the premier, I think three episodes or four episode now of Will of Time,

[cobra]: having been super successful. Think they want. Yeah,

[cobra]: I've watched a

[cobra]: I. I think one or two Amazon originals.

[cobra]: Well, one for sure, American Gods and I actually liked it. So I, if they do this

[cobra]: right, it should be a lot of funcause. Ma fact has a very.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: If listen, wait, no, I'm going to add to this if they fuck it up, it's going to be

[cobra]: bad, but it's my opinion, my opinion, my opinion,

[cobra]: thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. No, I, what I was going to say is mass of fact

[cobra]: has a very deep, like very interesting lure. And

[cobra]: if it's like it's it it does. That's why I want it to be live action because it's not

[cobra]: so out there Scifi that it would look weird. I mean, if they could do doon, they can

[cobra]: definitely do. You know, the massive act is definitely doable but

[cobra]: not quite it. I, yeah, does. There's a lot of it's It's a lot based on. It's like

[cobra]: this one, Crxk, two Crox elements on on on a mass of fact that they have to get

[cobra]: right. The first one is

[cobra]: the element ▁zero, which is the substitute for magic In. In this is basically

[cobra]: whatever you can't explain. It's element ▁zero. It's fine, but it like in the game

[cobra]: it's It's very well done and they have to get the races right because it's very, the

[cobra]: interplay

[cobra]: of personalities and like goals between the races is very important in the story of

[cobra]: the game if they can make those two things not be cheesy. Which is very easy to be

[cobra]: cheesy. Even the game he gets cheesy. Sometimes they are able to do that in a way

[cobra]: that is like semi series. It should be a lot of fun to watch, And they have material

[cobra]: for five seasons, six seasons of a series that they want to do it. Considering the

[cobra]: games and the books and the comics and everything,

[cobra]: which is all three. Yeah,

[cobra]: oh yeah, the parallels are supercle. Yeah,

[cobra]: this is actually an intervention that Spencer himself organized

[cobra]: me.

[cobra]: I, I would never vear off.

[cobra]: Oh yeah.

[cobra]: why not.

[cobra]: It's Amazon dude, They print money.

[cobra]: Oh, I like that. I like that.

[cobra]: Honestly. I would be more worried about how they do like the reapers,

[cobra]: like the more outlandy shit than just the armor. Honestly.

[cobra]: Oh, man, if we actually had listeners and you call will have time. loed the rings.

[cobra]: You would get so much fucking a ma. I know

[cobra]: I know,

[cobra]: but I was like. Oh, is you talking about? We to on? Nobody listens to this.

[cobra]: Yeah, yeah,

[cobra]: even if the wting is good,

[cobra]: Uh,

[cobra]: Chris,

[cobra]: the last time we saw a new mass Effect game we got in Dramada. Do you really want

[cobra]: another one?

[cobra]: Oh, for sure, but that's the risk.

[cobra]: Well, I mean if if they want to get, if they want to get on people's good sides are

[cobra]: at least you know, not

[cobra]: An and a woman that that's not like,

[cobra]: Um,

[cobra]: or something like that,

[cobra]: I hope I hope they do that. Does that be amazingcauses? the whole, the whole, the way

[cobra]: that the society works in in Massper, Theres no. You know, they've moved on from this

[cobra]: sort of silly sort of prejudices, So I think it would be a great vehicle to actually

[cobra]: drive this hod be. it'd be amazing if it like a non binary person playing Shepherd,

[cobra]: If that's where they're going

[cobra]: Tortured. This was.

[cobra]: she is watching Season two Good Game right now.

[cobra]: Is this one of those like Baies stuff?

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: yeah,

[cobra]: I've seen people that at least elaborate. I've seen people build a house and put a

[cobra]: bunch of people inside and remove all the doors and windows and just let him die.

[cobra]: Yeah, he's taking charge of matters. At least he's doing it on his own.

[cobra]: Oh you are now.

[cobra]: Yeah,

[cobra]: good call, good call.

[cobra]: Yeah, we also don't think that laying games that are violent are going to cause

[cobra]: people to want to kill people. Just

[cobra]: yeah, Yeah,

[cobra]: I didn't cross the line, the the Gu with my friend that too. Also, by the way, let me

[cobra]: just say right up that too. By the We satire,

[cobra]: It sounds like a good idea

[cobra]: cause you're a part of this part. Shut up. You don't deserve it.

[cobra]: Follow me at. who led the dogs out?

[cobra]: Yeah, I was like What are you saying

[cobra]: G.

[cobra]: Oh, that's right. Yeah, happy.

[cobra]: it's the third. It's the third already now. it's the third one. It's the third one

[cobra]: right now.

[cobra]: Oh, we got. we got. we got. Go, we got Guy explained.

[cobra]: No, No, we're the Jews,

[cobra]: Guy explainedg, explained. That's okay.

[cobra]: We're now right now with the flock,

[cobra]: the widest people here.

[cobra]: but yes, hots. a May happy Haukah.

[cobra]: What happened? Did your brain reboot

[cobra]: libel Libit? whatever,

[cobra]: directly from Montreal,

[cobra]: Wow,

[cobra]: docks in his own podcast.

[cobra]: Just live the dobs alone. People don't need it's

[cobra]: yeah, call and double flash. Yeah,

[cobra]: Oh, we don't care.

[cobra]: I mean it's true, but it's harsh.

[cobra]: I'm laughing through the tears there.
